WEBVTT - Sharri | 17 March 0:00:01.400 --> 0:00:09.039 Why on Sky News this is Sharry Good Evening tonight. 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:12.559 Gas lighting on a national scale exposed. What did the 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:16.599 Albanezy government downplay the state of anti Semitic violence for 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:20.040 election purposes? My thoughts in a moment, and I'll speak 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:23.840 with Alex Rifchin also in the show. Over one million 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:30.479 dollars of taxpayer funds wasted on decolonizing breastfeeding Australia's next 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:34.239 potential doge Jacenta nambajimper Price would join me to on 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:40.040 earth this absurd spending and Albanezi accused of hypocrisy over 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:43.920 a one hundred thousand dollars dinner with super donors at 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:46.200 Aria or the details in a moment. 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:48.080 Well, it was a. 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:51.240 Week ago today that police stood up at a press 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.520 conference and claimed that a spate of anti Semitic attacks 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:59.480 was not in fact anti Semitism. They told Australia this 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:04.120 Vilellan spree was the work of organized crime and not 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:09.120 driven by an ideological hatred for Jews. Well, these inaccurate 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:12.600 claims have now landed police in hot water, and there 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:16.319 are questions about whether there was any political pressure to 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:20.720 downplay this crisis, because it's now emerged that the figure 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:26.319 reportedly behind this spate of attacks is sayet Erhan Akka, 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:31.600 who has praised Hitler, questioned the existence of the Holocaust 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.760 and said that Zionists were at the root of terrorism. 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:37.200 Yes, Zionists. 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.680 The Daily Telegraph reports he was arrested in twenty twenty 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:44.200 one with trying to import a commercial quantity of drugs. 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:48.600 If found guilty, they say Aka could be facing life 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:52.080 in jail, but he fled while on bail and a 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:57.160 warrant for his arrest was issued in September twenty twenty three, 0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.160 and according to The Telly, he's been traveling between Asia 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:01.800 and Turkey ever since. 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:03.080 Now. 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:08.200 As you know, police claimed that anti Semitism wasn't a motivation, 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.280 that it was simply to get a more lenient sentence. 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:15.200 Yet major revelations in The Australian over the past few 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:19.880 days that Akka, who is Muslim, has a history of 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:25.480 making extremely anti Semitic remarks. The OSRA ports that in 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:29.920 one post, Aka claims that Hitler was only washing earth 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.520 they made him out to be evil. On Facebook, one 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:38.040 of Aka's Facebook friends named Ronnie, posted a picture of 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:42.080 the Nazi manifesto. You can see that here with the 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:46.919 words arians assemble and that was the caption, and then 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:53.680 underneath it, Aka wrote rise of the Fifth riche Hail Ronnie. 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:56.960 In another comment that I found when I was looking 0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:01.079 through his social media last night, Aka wrote, getting ready 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:06.000 for the Arab an Aryan Alliance. The depression is coming, brother, 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.919 the Arab an Aryan Alliance. 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:10.160 Now. 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.480 Aka's comment was in response to a post about a 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:17.080 German fire right party becoming the second strongest party at 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:21.359 the time. Now The Australian reports that separately, Aka posted 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.600 I ain't racist, I have a jew disorder and in 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.720 twenty eighteen, Aka wrote on the New South Wales Jewish 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:33.080 Board of Deputies facebook page, how did six million die 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:37.280 when only three point two registered Jews in Europe. 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:37.560 At the time? 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.040 And The Australian reports that the very next day, in 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:46.160 response to a story about Vandal's targeting the Jewish community 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:51.800 by spraying swastikas on cars, Akka responded zig Hale. 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:55.559 In twenty sixteen, Aka. 0:03:55.280 --> 0:04:00.480 Blamed Zionism for being the root of terror. He wrote, 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.600 rip to all those innocents that have died in Aleppo 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.800 and around the world in the hands of terrorism, and 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:11.400 I mean from the root of terrorism America and the 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:16.880 Zionists taking out these people like Saddam bin Leyden and Gaddafi. 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:20.560 Look what it started. He also wrote, you. 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.159 Still think nine to eleven was not an inside job 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:28.479 to start this money making and Muslim massacre process, delete 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:37.760 yourself now. So clearly a deeply disturbing anti Semitic ideology 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:43.839 behind the criminal who police allege was targeting the Jewish community. 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:48.719 Now the Australian newspaper has done a terrific job exposing 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:49.560 this over the. 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:50.760 Past few days. 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:56.200 Yet police publicly claimed a week ago today that anti 0:04:56.240 --> 0:05:01.719 Semitism was not a motivating factor. The AFP Deputy Commissioner 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:05.520 Chrissy Barrett said the motivation was organized crime and a 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:10.680 reduced sentence, not anti Semitism. She spoke about wanting to 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:15.520 give comfort, her words comfort to the Jewish community, and 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.440 she used words like fake. 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:18.919 And criminal conjob. 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.520 Here were some of those remarks from Chrisy Barrett that 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:26.040 we now know were misleading and irresponsible. 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.880 It's absolutely reprehensible that criminals would be taking advantage of 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.520 the current environment when we know there is already a 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:35.400 lot of fear and a lot of anxiousness in the 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.680 environment to be leveraging that for their own benefit. 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:43.320 At that press conference, New South Wales police backed up 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:44.800 the view of the AFP. 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:49.839 But you were saying that they were being carried out 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.479 by people within a so many views, so peop led 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:53.840 by criminals. 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:54.600 Correct, And. 0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.719 You don't have any evidence that he is being driven 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.560 by I hate you say that it's allege that. 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:03.440 It's organized crime. 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:09.240 Correct, that you're saying that they weren't being carried out 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:13.240 by people within a Semitic view, so being led by criminals. 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:13.840 Correct. 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.760 Okay, And at no point did the AFPs Chrissy Barrett 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:22.400 disagree with any of those assessments. That was a joint 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:27.560 press conference New Southereles police reinforced the view yet again 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:31.359 in that press conference that anti Semitism wasn't behind the 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:32.520 spate of attacks. 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:35.560 So just a question on the arrests that you'd made. 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:39.120 You said that you didn't believe anti semitism or an ideology. 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:39.680 For any of those arrested. 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.960 Do you also believe that anti Semitism was not an 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.240 ideology for anyone higher up pulling any industries on any 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:46.880 of the incidents. 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:53.800 I think what these organized crime heads have done is 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:58.159 play to vulnerabilities in the community. Obviously there have been 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.640 anti Semitic attacks of lower nature and a lot of 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:05.080 anger and angst within the community. We've seen that since 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:09.159 October seventh, twenty twenty three. 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.200 Now, Dave Hudson later admitted in budget estimates, and that 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.160 was Dave Hudson, the New Southwales Police Deputy Commissioner. He 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:20.520 later set in budget estimates that he didn't actually know 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.360 what the motivation was because it was the AFP who'd 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:28.160 been handling the informant. But this was a major joint 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:31.280 press conference between the AFP and New South Wales Police 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:36.000 and make no mistake, antisemitism was categorically ruled out as 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:39.520 being behind the attacks. Now, this led to a widespread 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:44.640 view that the antisemitism crisis had been confected, created by 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:48.120 Peter Dutton and NewsCorp and there was nothing to see. 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.000 And Anthony Alberinezi picked up on the idea of it 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:52.720 all being a hoax. 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.960 So whilst it was a folks a hoax and the 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:06.720 motivation was about criminal activities and not related to those issues, 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.800 the fear that it created was very. 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.720 Real, wrong, wrong, wrong. 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:16.560 So, as I said, the sense is that this has 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:20.840 been a confected and fake crisis, and you think about 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:24.120 that word fake. Well, the AFP Deputy Commissioner Chrissy Barrett 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:30.200 use the word fake seven times in her opening remarks. 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.760 Well, we are confident these tip offs were fake. There 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.760 were several people who had different levels of involvement in 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.520 this fake terrorism plot. A number of people have been 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.920 identified as part of this fake terrorism plot. Regardless of 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.360 the motivation of those responsible for this fake plot, those 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:50.520 creating fake terror threats face being charged for creating fake plots. 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.959 High powered weapons for a fake terror. 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:58.600 Plot, fake, fake, fake, and that word fake has cut 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:02.480 through the city. My herold's David Crowe attacked Peter Dutton, 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.400 writing why was he so quick to create a confected 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:10.920 crisis out of a criminal plot? A nine News reported 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:14.520 that the entire antisemitism crisis was a hoax. 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:18.920 So I d Massoui is one of fourteen people arrested 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:23.960 after the Dural Caravan investigation uncovered the wave of antisemitism 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.559 across our city was a criminal. 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:30.920 Hoax, and the ABC suggested that maybe the understanding of 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:34.080 antisemitism should be revised down. 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.600 Do we need to revise down our understanding? The number 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.280 of genuine anti Semitic attacks that have taken place. 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.520 And now there's a whole movement in New South Wales 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:51.640 Parliament to overturn Premier Chris Mins's hate speech laws. Now, 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.960 there had been political pressure from the Albanese government on 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:58.440 the Joint Police Task Force to state publicly that this 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:02.240 wasn't a terror attack, to push the narrative that it 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:05.480 was a hoax. I told you this on Thursday Night's program, 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.000 and so Tony Burke was ready to go with his 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:12.040 attack lines against Dutton right after the police press conference. 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:16.280 Now this is part of the Albaneze government's push to 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:20.679 downplay antisemitism as an issue, to claim there's no national 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:25.800 security crisis here at all. But we now know categorically 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:32.520 the alleged mastermind had praised Hitler, blamed Zionism for terrorism 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:37.600 and said an Arab alliance was coming. Now, the question 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:41.439 that the Australian newspaper posed on its front page on Saturday, 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.400 you can see it here. They said, police say attacks 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.960 not motivated by hate. But if this is an antisemitism, 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:55.160 what is? And that is exactly right. So the Australian 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:59.079 Federal Police now need to say publicly whether they knew 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:03.920 about AKUSC commentary when they deliberately downplayed antisemitism as a 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:07.400 motivating factor behind the attacks, because. 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:10.560 Either the AFP did know about. 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:14.600 Akis anti semitism and then misled the public, or the 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:18.240 AFP didn't know about his social media commentary, in which 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:22.959 case this is an appalling indictment on the lackluster investigative 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:27.720 efforts of the AFP. How could journalists at the Australian 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:32.959 uncover these remarks but not the AFP. Now I asked 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:36.560 the AFP these questions today. I also asked whether they 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:41.320 will be apologizing to Australians for their dangerous messaging that 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:46.600 has in fact exacerbated this crisis. But the AFP would 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.760 an answer. They gave me a statement saying they believe 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:53.199 the person wanted a change to their criminal status. 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.600 Of course, both things can be true. 0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:00.600 Now, Alex Riftrin has spoken powerfully about the devastating impact 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:05.200 that press conference has had. He said it's exposed dangerous 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:09.920 failings by authorities, political leaders and public figures who chose 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:14.360 to characterize the fire bombings that hit Jewish targets as 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:18.960 a hoax or conjob unconnected to anti Semitic ideology, and 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:23.040 to do so before the investigation had been concluded. He 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:26.199 said it set off a deluge of anti Semitic conspiracy 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:31.840 theories about inside jobs and increased harassment and vilification of Jews, 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:35.960 and Alex will be on the show shortly, but this 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:40.680 is all extraordinary and deeply disturbing and we have to 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:44.360 call it out. The black and white evidence shows that 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:50.000 Akka has made vile anti Semitic remarks, and yet without 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:56.480 arresting him or even interviewing him, the AFP publicly declared 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:01.240 that this wave of terror targeting Jewish businesses, schools and 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:06.800 places of worship was not anti Semitism. This created a 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:10.120 dangerous denial of anti Semitism in the community and in 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:14.040 the media, and it emboldened those who never wanted to 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.120 admit that there was a problem in the first place. 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:21.079 It's led to more harassment and more hatred. And we've 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:24.640 seen this pattern before. The same authorities who told us 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.400 there were no laws broken when a mob at the 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:31.720 Sydney Opera House chanted f the Jews instead of gas 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:35.560 the Jews were they're now trying to convince Australia that 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:42.000 Jewish property being vandalized and firebomb is somehow not anti Semitic. 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:48.440 This is gas lighting on a national scale. Words matter, 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:55.679 the language of law enforcement and political leaders matter. Consider 0:13:55.720 --> 0:14:00.319 how the Albanezy government pushed for police to publicly claire 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:04.480 the caravan wasn't a terror threat, how quick Tony Burke 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:08.319 was to seize on the police position for political advantage, 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:13.520 gleefully attacking Dutton. And you have to wonder is this 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:19.320 political expediency? Could the Albanezy government actually stoop so low 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:23.359 as to downplay this serious issue because. 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:24.920 It's on the eve of an election. 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:30.960 Australia's leaders, entrusted with all of our safety and all 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:35.680 of our national security, have showed cowardice an indifference on 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:37.200 this crisis from the. 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.600 Very beginning and now right before the election. 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:45.880 Law enforcement positions a state of very serious and violent 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:51.720 attacks as a hoax, as fake, a fake threat, despite 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:55.240 the fact lives could have been lost and it's lucky 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:55.840 they weren't. 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:58.840 This entire saga is not over. 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.480 There is more to come and we will not allow 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:10.640 those in control to bury the truth. Okay, I'm going 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.440 to be joined by Alex Rifchin in a little bit 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.440 to speak about that. But now let's bring in Liberal 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.880 Senator Holly Hughes and Sky News contributor Joe Hildebrand. 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.600 Welcome, here. 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:23.760 I'm going to come back to that topic, but I 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:25.600 want to get through or talk about some of the 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.600 other big stories today because tonight the Prime Minister is 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:32.560 being condemned as tone deaf yet again. Aaron Patrick in 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.400 The Nightly reports that the Prime Minister attended one hundred 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:40.240 thousand dollars fundraising dinner with super donors at the Elite 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:44.240 Ariat restaurant and you can see here photographs of the 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:47.920 Prime Minister arriving. Pretty extraordinary. They were there to capture 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:51.840 the moment and Holly. The article points out that this 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.880 as most Australians are dealing with the cost of living 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:58.840 crisis and the hypocrisy here is a pertinent one given 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:03.160 Alban Eazy was attack Dutton for a fundraiser just last week. 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:06.160 Well, I think it's the fact that they were attacking 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.840 Peter Dutton for attending to a fundraiser. 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:10.600 The night before. 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:12.480 In fact, it was supposed to be on the same night. 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:14.920 It turned out that they moved this function in the 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.960 area by one night. I wonder where Murray Watt is today. 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:20.400 He was sent out as the yapping dogs last week 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:23.800 to attend to attack Dutton. And we have a major 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:28.000 day with CFMU News and he is workplace Relations and 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.600 he was the attack dog sent out to attack Dutton 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:34.640 for attending a fundraiser. And they're very quiet today. I mean, 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.200 the thing about this Labor government, if they didn't have 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:40.160 double standards, they wouldn't have any standards at all. And 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:44.560 this is just another example of their absolute betrayal of 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:48.840 the Australian people and how they continually undermine anyone's faith 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:52.360 in government and the political process because of their own 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:53.200 poor behavior. 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:56.080 Joe is very rare for. 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:01.360 Media to actually capture images of peace arriving for such 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:05.640 a small elite fundraising dinner like this. But look, you've 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:07.719 got to admit it's not a good look. This is 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:09.840 a very fancy restaurant. 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:12.919 You know, their. 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.400 Bottles of champagne go up to ten thousand dollars. 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:15.520 Two hundred and fifty. 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:17.800 Dollars would be paying literally one thousandth of that for 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:21.320 my plank. Yeah, look at fundraisers are never a good look. 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:24.440 Both parties have them in the lead up and especially 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:27.000 so obviously in the lead up to elections. It never 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.400 looks particularly well, I don't think. And you know, good 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:31.119 on the you know, good on the Nightly forgetting the 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:34.600 yard that's great, but I don't think the two are comparable. 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:40.480 The PM only attended this fundraiser yesterday on Sunday after 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:42.560 delaying it for more than a week because it was 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:48.480 because of Cyclone Alfred. The allegation or the who had 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.400 that was kicked up about Peter Dutton attending a fundraiser 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.679 in Justin Hems's Place on the Harbor was that it 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.160 was in the middle of Cyclone Alfred and that was in. 0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:01.000 Four days topical psycho. 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:08.080 Tropical low Alfred. But that followed Peter Dutton criticizing the 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:09.919 PM and saying he would be tone deaf if he 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.199 called an election. So it was just a process of 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:12.760 tit for tat. 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:15.720 But it's also on the back of Albaneze skipping out 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:18.480 of Parliament going up to Far North Queensland for the 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.080 floods because he had to go early in the morning, 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:22.800 and it turns out he had to go early in 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:25.440 the morning, not stand up for the people of Australia, 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:27.800 not answer questions in question time, which is his job. 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:30.439 He went up there, got a private plane doesn't have 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:33.280 to go commercial routes, and then was on the ground 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:35.960 in Far North Queensland for a couple of hours because 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:38.240 he had to get the plane back to Brisbane for 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:41.280 a big labor fundraiser that night in Brisbane. And I 0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:43.720 think maybe this is where the Labor government. You know, 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:46.640 everyone does have fundraisers. It's an election, but the fact 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.439 that Labor is so desperate that their record is so 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.560 bad that they are so keen to attacked up and 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:56.159 for absolutely anything, Yet their own form is there to 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:58.920 see and if they don't want their own form called out, 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:01.440 if they don't want the wh hypocrisy at least Peter 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:04.360 Dutton wasn't zipn around in the VIP and skipping out 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:06.439 of pot in the same way out. 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:09.520 Though it was fired by Peter Dutton when he basically 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.680 boxed elbow into a corner and said, if you call 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:15.840 an election during this. 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:16.960 Emergency event which have just. 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:21.080 Downplayed to be fair Joe treasure Treasurer Jim Chalmers was 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:25.800 also telling the Prime Minister behind the scenes the election. 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:29.280 I was saying it would be a terrible idea as well. 0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:32.720 But Peter Dutton was clearly making a bit of political 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:33.119 hay with it. 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:35.320 Right, let's let's keep let's have a look at some 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:39.040 of the other stories tonight. Dutton has hinted that income 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:42.560 tax cuts could be on the agenda and the Coalitions, 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:45.240 pointing to research showing that the average Australian had to 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:47.960 pay three and a half thousand dollars more intacts last 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:51.880 financial year compared to before Albanizi became Prime minister. 0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:54.679 Holly, what are you hearing about? 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:57.000 Obviously he can't announce it, al buter, what are you 0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:00.320 hearing about the possibility that the Coalition is lanning to 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:01.679 announce income tax cuts. 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:03.560 Well, the election hasn't been called yet and we're not 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:06.159 going to be pressured into making announcements just because the 0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:07.960 Labor Government wants to jump up and down or the 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:10.840 ABC wants to jump up and down. But Australians are 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:13.800 being slugged considerably more in income tax. And you know, 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:16.280 you can argue whatever you like, and we all know 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:19.120 everything's gone up. We know standard of livings have gone down, 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:21.560 we know all of the cost pressures that Australian families 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:24.400 are experiencing. But the other figure that people need to understand. 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:27.560 When the Coalition left government, the percentage of their income 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:29.840 that most Australians were paying in tax was around twenty 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:32.679 three percent. It is now about to tip into twenty 0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:35.840 seven percent under this government. So even while they sprout, 0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:39.280 everyone got a tax cut under this government, the majority 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.439 of Australians. The average amount of tax being paid by 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:45.359 Australians has increased by four percent under this government's watch. 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:47.600 And I can tell you the one thing that coalition 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:50.360 government will do without it making any sort of big 0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:53.439 announcement is cut some of the wasteful spending that we 0:20:53.480 --> 0:20:56.679 are consistently seeing from this government that is leading to 0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:57.520 these cost of living and. 0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:00.159 I'm speaking to just Enterprice about that a bit later 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:02.879 in the show. Now, you remember at the last election, 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:06.320 Albnezi made a big song and dance about having an 0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:09.760 anti corruption watchdog, Well, what is. 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:12.680 It actually done in the past three years? 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:15.000 Same as your two hundred and seventy fivevial reduction. 0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:18.600 There is serially in reports today that there are even 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:22.240 calls to replace the Commissioner, Paul Brereton. Joe. 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:26.159 This has been operating for you know, yeah, it hasn't. 0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:28.480 I always thought this was a really stupid idea and 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:32.280 there was always going to tell kind of administrative wide 0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:37.560 elephant there is. There has not been any real wholesale 0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:41.560 evidence of endemic corruption at a federal level, and people said, oh, 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:43.240 that's because we haven't had a watch dog to exit. 0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:45.960 It's so different from SATs. 0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:48.520 The opportunities just don't exist. I'm sure they don't be 0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:49.600 in and up to their next. 0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:52.160 In the wrong level of. 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:57.919 There's plenty of corrupt conduct going on. I say that 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:00.680 as a journalist, but we haven't heard. 0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:04.840 The sort of the sort of correct. It's not just 0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:08.679 they're all squeaky clean and moral cure. What's obviously everyone 0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:11.359 is on the labor side. The others I can't speak for, but. 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:14.920 Yeah, that always works very well out for you, Joe Hey, 0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:16.119 come on the right. 0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:21.639 But the way they've kept me, the opportunities. 0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:24.359 For corruption are much much, much greater in state and 0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:26.720 local government than they are in federal government. It's just 0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:29.480 harder to be corrupt in the federal system because you 0:22:29.520 --> 0:22:31.920 have to do things like, you know, giving out giving out 0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:32.520 tenders to. 0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:35.199 You for curemens. 0:22:35.200 --> 0:22:38.680 The fact that the agency hasn't had many corruption findings 0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:41.840 doesn't mean the corruption's not happening. It means they've been 0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:45.480 ineffective or a truthless tiger. There is one hundred percent. 0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:47.120 Well, we saw a two point four or two point 0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:51.280 three million dollar payment made to Britney Higgins in warp Speed. 0:22:51.400 --> 0:22:52.520 Saying that was referred. 0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:56.000 But that's been referred and there's been nothing done say that. 0:22:56.080 --> 0:22:59.000 Okay, you could say that's inappropriate, or it's excessive, or 0:22:59.000 --> 0:23:01.919 there wasn't enough you know, transparency or due diligence. But 0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:05.040 is anyone seriously saying that, you know, the Attorney General 0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:07.000 took a kick back to hand out that money. Of 0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:07.440 course not. 0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:11.919 But the political pain is creating a whole. 0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:12.200 Lot of problem. 0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:13.720 But that is the sort of stuff that the state 0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:17.399 corruption watch dogs look into. People taking money in exchange 0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:20.400 for political decisions, that is the definition of it. And 0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:23.480 there is just no real evidence that there's any kind 0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:25.960 of widespread there. There might be a decisions you disagree with, 0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:26.960 and there might be people. 0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:30.800 It's again, it's more that we haven't seen them take 0:23:30.840 --> 0:23:33.600 any action. It's not the fact that that behavior isn't 0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:34.480 there in the first place. 0:23:34.840 --> 0:23:35.840 It's just not the case. 0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:40.439 But anyway, it's hard to know in what way it 0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:40.960 could be. 0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:47.399 All right, Joe Hildebrand Holly Hughes A. Right, let's return 0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:50.720 to our top story now, the bombshell findings around the 0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:54.280 trove of Andy Semitic slurs by the alleged caravan Terra 0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:57.760 plot mastermind. And let's bring in Executive Council of Australian 0:23:57.840 --> 0:23:59.760 Jury co CEO Alex Riftin. 0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:02.399 Thanks so much for joining us once again. 0:24:03.000 --> 0:24:05.720 Look, what's your reaction to the fact that police came 0:24:05.760 --> 0:24:09.639 out a week ago and said anti Semitism wasn't a 0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:13.000 motivating factor and now we see all this evidence in 0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:14.840 the Australian Well, it. 0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:18.560 Was really disappointing, Shrry because the police, we know, want 0:24:18.560 --> 0:24:21.679 to keep us safe. We know they've devoted immense resources 0:24:21.680 --> 0:24:25.280 and manpower to hunting these people, to solving the crimes. 0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:27.000 We know they want to keep the Jewish community in 0:24:27.000 --> 0:24:30.359 wider society at peace and harmony. We know this, and 0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:34.080 they did fantastic work in making arrests and investigating these 0:24:34.119 --> 0:24:36.840 five bombings and the Dural incident as well. But they 0:24:36.840 --> 0:24:39.359 seem to have undone that fine work with their communication. 0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:42.200 And like you said at the outset, words matter and 0:24:42.560 --> 0:24:45.520 we have to understand that the revelations from these investigations 0:24:45.520 --> 0:24:49.479 were incredibly serious. We learned then, in addition to everything 0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:52.240 we faced over the past seventeen months, the docs and 0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:55.800 the vilification, the harassment, everything happening at schools and universities 0:24:56.080 --> 0:24:59.760 and the medical system, and support for terrorism and street abuse. 0:24:59.800 --> 0:25:01.760 On of all that, you now have. 0:25:01.840 --> 0:25:06.240 Hardened criminals hanging off lowly hoodlands to set fire to 0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:10.399 our buildings and cars and set out streets ablaze with 0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:13.800 reckless disregard for what happens. And it's a miracle that 0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:16.399 no one was killed. But for some reason the police 0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:19.919 and announcing chose to completely downplay it, refer to it 0:25:19.960 --> 0:25:22.640 as a con job and a fake and all these 0:25:22.640 --> 0:25:25.399 sorts of things, and predictably that set off the whole 0:25:25.480 --> 0:25:29.320 stream of conspiracy theories about a masade hit and an 0:25:29.359 --> 0:25:33.120 inside job, and all those negative actors who for seventeen 0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:36.080 months have sought to downplay with deni anti Semitism were 0:25:36.080 --> 0:25:39.159 given this immense gift. And why they chose to do that, 0:25:39.200 --> 0:25:41.720 why they chose to undermine their wonderful police work, is 0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:42.640 really beyond. 0:25:43.359 --> 0:25:46.280 I mean, do you think it's similar to the gas 0:25:46.320 --> 0:25:49.639 the Jews commentary when police again took something that was 0:25:49.640 --> 0:25:51.760 so vile on the steps of the opera house and 0:25:51.800 --> 0:25:55.040 said there was basically no issue because the words were 0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:57.880 kill the Jews, not gas the Jews. 0:25:58.240 --> 0:26:01.720 Well, you know, in contrast, I think the gas the 0:26:01.800 --> 0:26:05.119 Jews incident now looks trivial and like a mere peculiarity. 0:26:05.200 --> 0:26:08.720 Given the magnitude of this announcement and the words they 0:26:08.840 --> 0:26:11.000 used in this case, I think the implications have been 0:26:11.440 --> 0:26:12.000 far greater. 0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:14.200 With gas the Jews. Where's the Jews? 0:26:14.560 --> 0:26:16.680 I thought that was a dubious thing for the police 0:26:16.680 --> 0:26:21.000 to do, to effectively try to exculpate those who are 0:26:21.080 --> 0:26:25.040 chanting those words and bold us down in a dispute 0:26:25.040 --> 0:26:27.200 about whether it was where's the Jews or gas Jews, 0:26:27.240 --> 0:26:28.560 as though one was better than the other. 0:26:28.640 --> 0:26:29.520 That was peculiar. 0:26:29.680 --> 0:26:35.560 But this has really broken the momentum in terms of 0:26:35.600 --> 0:26:38.520 trying to actually fight anti Semitism and deliver solutions to 0:26:38.520 --> 0:26:41.840 the anti semitism crisis and a national security crisis. And 0:26:41.920 --> 0:26:44.800 as I mentioned, it's allowed negative actors who have tried 0:26:44.840 --> 0:26:48.560 to downplay this whole time to now galvanize and to 0:26:48.560 --> 0:26:50.879 try to dampen all the momentum and the enthusiasm for 0:26:50.960 --> 0:26:52.240 actually solving this problem. 0:26:52.320 --> 0:26:54.399 So it's really incredibly disappointing. 0:26:55.240 --> 0:26:58.400 And now there's a push to repeal hate speech laws 0:26:58.520 --> 0:27:00.920 in your South. I was parliament Alix, you and your 0:27:01.000 --> 0:27:06.720 organization have been calling for tougher laws for years, and 0:27:06.760 --> 0:27:09.200 in fact, your organization has had to take civil action 0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:11.840 because the current laws are so inadequate. 0:27:13.000 --> 0:27:15.679 That's right, and it didn't begin on October seven. For 0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:19.840 many years, we've seen on occasion extreme clerics and others 0:27:19.880 --> 0:27:24.480 trying to effectively revive medieval hatreds and bring fign conflicts 0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:28.600 to our streets, inciting their followers to menace the Jewish 0:27:28.640 --> 0:27:30.680 community and to commit acts of violence. 0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:32.679 And for a long time. 0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:35.680 We've advocated for stricter laws against incitement of this sort. 0:27:36.040 --> 0:27:38.399 It's not about speech, it's not about the exchange of ideas. 0:27:38.440 --> 0:27:41.800 We're talking about words that are intended to incite hatred 0:27:41.880 --> 0:27:43.360 and violence in our communities. 0:27:43.359 --> 0:27:45.160 That's something extremely serious. 0:27:45.840 --> 0:27:48.800 And after October seven, we of course saw a whole 0:27:48.840 --> 0:27:53.520 series of clerics again glorifying the Hamas attacks, encouraging the 0:27:53.600 --> 0:27:56.879 followers to do likewise, speaking specifically of Jews in the 0:27:56.880 --> 0:28:01.040 most violent hatred terms imaginable, and there's no real remedy criminally, 0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:03.960 and so my organization was forced to be reaction under 0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:07.679 secuity in SEID the Racial Discrimination Act, which really for 0:28:07.760 --> 0:28:09.760 the sources of grave incidents that we're seeing is not 0:28:09.880 --> 0:28:11.280 the adequate remedy. 0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:12.560 And these laws. 0:28:12.640 --> 0:28:15.439 Again, it's a byproduct of the language used by the 0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:19.200 police in discounting antisymptism as a motive, because now we're 0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:22.080 seeing these attacks on the Premier of New South Wales, 0:28:22.119 --> 0:28:24.800 he's being accused of rushing through these laws as a 0:28:24.840 --> 0:28:28.160 knee jerk reaction to duel, when in fact these laws 0:28:28.160 --> 0:28:31.040 have been brewing for many, many years and are badly needed. 0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:33.640 Indeed they are now. 0:28:33.680 --> 0:28:36.000 Alex, I want to ask you about the outcomes from 0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:38.360 our anti Semitism summit a few weeks ago. 0:28:38.440 --> 0:28:39.640 Now now you. 0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:43.240 Wrote to Peter Dutton, he's publicly said that he would 0:28:43.360 --> 0:28:47.600 commit to every single one of the action points that 0:28:47.840 --> 0:28:50.920 do have that fall under federal remit. Now you've also 0:28:50.920 --> 0:28:54.160 written to the Prime Minister Anthony Albanezi. Have you heard 0:28:54.240 --> 0:28:57.520 back yet about whether he'll implement the action plan? 0:28:59.160 --> 0:29:02.600 Not as if yet and we eagerly wait that response because, 0:29:02.720 --> 0:29:05.480 particularly in light of what's happened in the last week 0:29:05.600 --> 0:29:09.200 or so, with the diminishing of antisemitism as a priority issue, 0:29:09.240 --> 0:29:12.200 I think it's incumbent on the Prime Minister to respond 0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:15.680 to those fifteen points, which are all reasonable, which deal 0:29:15.720 --> 0:29:18.240 with both the short term and the long term issues 0:29:18.280 --> 0:29:21.680 that give rise to antisemitism, which will restore societal harmony 0:29:21.720 --> 0:29:24.640 to our great country. And we need the premise to 0:29:24.680 --> 0:29:27.320 take a position on this and to show whether the 0:29:27.360 --> 0:29:30.240 fight against antisemitism can be something that unifies the major 0:29:30.280 --> 0:29:33.400 parties and unify a society or whether there's a clear 0:29:33.400 --> 0:29:35.560 difference between the two major parties and how they view 0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:37.520 antisemitism and how they seek to combat. 0:29:38.200 --> 0:29:38.480 Yeah. 0:29:38.560 --> 0:29:41.880 Well, hopefully we do get an answer from the Prime 0:29:41.920 --> 0:29:44.360 Minister because, as you said, that action point is still 0:29:44.400 --> 0:29:48.360 desperately needed despite the current attempts to downplay this whole crisis. Alex, 0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:51.280 thank you so much once again for your strong advocacy. 0:29:51.880 --> 0:29:55.000 Now after the break, a million dollars in taxpayer funds 0:29:55.040 --> 0:30:00.239 spent on decolonizing breastfeeding Australia's next doge potentially if they 0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:02.840 win the election, just into Nampijibber Price would join me 0:30:02.880 --> 0:30:06.360 on the show. Plus a zealous climate campaigner defends his 0:30:06.760 --> 0:30:12.480 fancy private jet purpose. The hypocrisy is shocking. Find out 0:30:12.520 --> 0:30:19.520 who this is. After the break, welcome back, all right. 0:30:19.680 --> 0:30:21.640 Just Enterprise will be on the show shortly to talk 0:30:21.640 --> 0:30:25.160 about the Albanezi government spending taxpayer funds on projects like 0:30:25.360 --> 0:30:30.760 decolonizing breastfeeding. But first, climate crusader Mike cannon Brooks has 0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:34.400 defended his purchase of a private jet, emit a pretty 0:30:34.400 --> 0:30:39.520 comprehensive backdrop of green energy evangelism. He's conceded he's feeling 0:30:39.600 --> 0:30:41.240 a deep internal conflict. 0:30:41.360 --> 0:30:43.400 That must be a tough struggle for him. 0:30:43.560 --> 0:30:46.360 But he said it was so he can run a 0:30:46.400 --> 0:30:52.160 global business from Australia and still be a constantly present dad. Now, 0:30:52.240 --> 0:30:54.640 Barnaby Joyce has gone on air calling him a total 0:30:54.720 --> 0:30:57.920 and other hypocrite. Let's bring now our panel to see 0:30:57.920 --> 0:31:01.920 what they think. Headline Advisory Director Andrew Carswell and GXO 0:31:02.000 --> 0:31:06.840 Strategies Director Camerine Milner. Welcome to you both. So Andrew, 0:31:07.400 --> 0:31:10.640 what is this? Carbon emissions are bad Unless it means 0:31:10.680 --> 0:31:13.080 you can be a good dad, then don't worry about 0:31:13.080 --> 0:31:13.760 the environment. 0:31:15.640 --> 0:31:16.600 Oh look, char if. 0:31:16.480 --> 0:31:19.600 We're talking about, you know, the most amusing story of 0:31:19.600 --> 0:31:21.240 the year so far, and this one's going to be 0:31:21.360 --> 0:31:24.480 top three. I mean, this is a billionaire that's effectively 0:31:24.560 --> 0:31:28.200 gone out in the street wearing sackcloth and pouring ashes 0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:31.800 on his head and asking forgiveness for buying a private jet. 0:31:32.400 --> 0:31:35.400 I mean have you ever seen someone so sad about 0:31:35.400 --> 0:31:38.720 buying a seventy million dollar private jet. It's got to 0:31:38.760 --> 0:31:41.960 be the self flagellation of the century. But the thing 0:31:42.000 --> 0:31:44.840 I love about this most is his own words are 0:31:45.360 --> 0:31:47.960 the very people that he's been fighting against for years 0:31:48.040 --> 0:31:51.320 on climate action. And I don't know if I owned 0:31:51.360 --> 0:31:53.320 a coal minor, if I owned a gas field, I 0:31:53.320 --> 0:31:55.800 would be writing down those very words and putting them 0:31:55.800 --> 0:31:59.200 on my wall as proof the gospel according to Big Mike. 0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:03.680 And some of the phrases are just amazing. Here's one 0:32:03.720 --> 0:32:07.840 here is striking. The balance between pragmatism and ambition is hard. 0:32:08.320 --> 0:32:11.640 Here here, well done, thanks for getting there. And what 0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:14.960 about this? And we know climate isn't a zero sum game. 0:32:16.360 --> 0:32:19.080 The truth will set you free. 0:32:19.640 --> 0:32:20.720 Indeed, Andrew. 0:32:21.320 --> 0:32:23.760 But Cameron, I mean, I don't know the exact figures, 0:32:23.760 --> 0:32:26.840 so I could be wrong here, but you'd imagine that, 0:32:27.440 --> 0:32:30.840 you know, one return trip from here to the US 0:32:31.480 --> 0:32:34.600 would probably be the equivalent climate admissions that an average 0:32:34.600 --> 0:32:37.200 family in western Sydney would spend. 0:32:37.000 --> 0:32:37.920 In a whole year. 0:32:38.400 --> 0:32:43.160 And yet he lectures everyone else about you know, effectively 0:32:43.280 --> 0:32:43.920 paying more. 0:32:46.200 --> 0:32:47.280 Don't you love hypocrisy? 0:32:47.360 --> 0:32:47.840 Writ Large? 0:32:47.880 --> 0:32:50.920 I mean when you have a proselytizing climate change bid 0:32:51.000 --> 0:32:53.479 in air, preaching to working class people. We've got to 0:32:53.600 --> 0:32:55.560 drop everything off like this and you know, and return 0:32:55.600 --> 0:32:59.000 to sackcloths. But it's okay for his Boeing private jet 0:32:59.120 --> 0:33:02.480 that he agonizes agonizes over Sharik. Which one thing I 0:33:02.480 --> 0:33:04.200 love though is he has a green stripe down the 0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:05.840 side of it. Yet you've got a green stripe pain 0:33:05.920 --> 0:33:07.959 down side of it, obviously, because that obviously makes it 0:33:08.000 --> 0:33:10.400 better that he's jetting around the world in this thing. Now, look, 0:33:10.400 --> 0:33:13.560 this is just our hypocrisy rit large. He's been caught 0:33:13.600 --> 0:33:17.600 out for it and his excuses simply are good enough. 0:33:17.920 --> 0:33:21.320 No, indeed completely agree and seriously being a good doubt, 0:33:21.480 --> 0:33:22.800 come on, get off. 0:33:22.840 --> 0:33:23.640 You can be a good dub. 0:33:23.600 --> 0:33:27.400 Without the project the children, Yes, exactly. Now, for the 0:33:27.440 --> 0:33:30.360 second week in a row, Malcolm Turbull has intervened in 0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:33.880 the political debate. Today he criticized Orcus. You've probably heard 0:33:33.920 --> 0:33:36.959 the comments by now. He's also condemned Peter Dutton for 0:33:37.080 --> 0:33:41.520 refusing to support Albanezi and offering up a peacekeeping force. 0:33:41.360 --> 0:33:42.960 Our troops in Ukraine. 0:33:43.360 --> 0:33:46.680 Now, Andrew Turnbull just can't stay away and we're probably 0:33:46.720 --> 0:33:49.200 going to see more of him in the when the 0:33:49.240 --> 0:33:52.240 election campaign kicks off, because the last thing Turnbull once 0:33:52.680 --> 0:33:55.520 is Dutton his enemy becoming prime minister. 0:33:57.840 --> 0:34:00.480 Yeah, I mean, this man is a dick to seeing 0:34:00.520 --> 0:34:04.120 his own name in newspapers and on TV. He's addicted 0:34:04.120 --> 0:34:09.960 to giving deep and moaningful interviews on ABC radio and TV. 0:34:11.280 --> 0:34:14.399 We've got to remember, as you said, he views Peter 0:34:14.520 --> 0:34:19.279 Dutton with enormous suspicion and holds him ultimately responsible for 0:34:19.440 --> 0:34:23.520 his downfall as Prime minister. It was Peter Dutton that 0:34:23.840 --> 0:34:27.560 initially made the moves against him exactly, so he sees 0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:30.279 this as an opportunity to get his revenge. This is 0:34:30.280 --> 0:34:33.279 a man that has built his entire career on the 0:34:33.320 --> 0:34:36.200 back of revenge, on the back of getting even He's 0:34:36.239 --> 0:34:39.400 done that throughout his entire political life, but also his 0:34:39.480 --> 0:34:43.719 business career as well. It is it's his motors operandi. 0:34:44.160 --> 0:34:46.000 And you know he's coming to get Peter Dutton in 0:34:46.000 --> 0:34:46.640 this campaign. 0:34:47.520 --> 0:34:49.880 And when we at the time just reported the news 0:34:49.920 --> 0:34:54.120 that Dutton was considering a leadership challenge against Turnbull, all 0:34:54.160 --> 0:34:57.080 of Channel nine and Turnbull and everyone blamed NewsCorp just 0:34:57.080 --> 0:35:02.400 for reporting the story. Now, ca we've seen Turnbull's intervention. 0:35:02.520 --> 0:35:05.600 But what about your old boss, Bill Shorten, Because here 0:35:05.680 --> 0:35:10.920 came out on Friday with some comments, some advice maybe 0:35:10.960 --> 0:35:13.239 for alban easy about trade tariffs. So are we going 0:35:13.280 --> 0:35:15.000 to see more of Bill Shorton as well in this 0:35:15.080 --> 0:35:16.000 election campaign? 0:35:17.880 --> 0:35:18.080 Look? 0:35:18.120 --> 0:35:19.719 I think we are, and I think Bill's got a 0:35:19.840 --> 0:35:21.600 very big role. Obviously it's a vice chance for a 0:35:21.640 --> 0:35:24.640 significant university and it's up to him to make public comment. 0:35:24.880 --> 0:35:26.719 But let's make the difference here. I mean, Malcolm Turble 0:35:26.840 --> 0:35:29.520 is always about Malcolm. Bill's point was that tariffs have 0:35:29.560 --> 0:35:31.719 to be on the table, and that's what Keis Starmer said, 0:35:31.760 --> 0:35:34.000 It's what every other Western nation has said. And response 0:35:34.040 --> 0:35:37.520 to Trump only weak elbow only week Albo has said, 0:35:37.680 --> 0:35:39.320 oh no I won't touch tariff's. I won't touch it. 0:35:39.360 --> 0:35:41.360 They're not even on the table now, Donald, you know, 0:35:41.400 --> 0:35:43.279 please come and see me. I mean, the reality of 0:35:43.280 --> 0:35:45.280 what Bill said was tariff should be on the table. 0:35:45.760 --> 0:35:49.680 The difference though is that Malcolm is only ever about Malcolm. 0:35:49.840 --> 0:35:51.400 Let's have a look at the new polling today. 0:35:51.400 --> 0:35:54.200 Freshwater polling shows the L and P head of Labor 0:35:54.320 --> 0:35:57.520 still on the two party preferred metric. That's fifty one 0:35:57.560 --> 0:36:02.240 to forty nine. It shows the Coalitions re vote slipped slightly. 0:36:02.640 --> 0:36:07.600 It's now thirty nine percent. Labour's is thirty one percent. Andrew, 0:36:08.040 --> 0:36:11.280 you worked with Scott Morrison when everyone thought he'd lose 0:36:11.400 --> 0:36:13.280 the twenty nineteen election. 0:36:14.080 --> 0:36:16.520 Do you think there's some similarities now? What do you 0:36:16.520 --> 0:36:18.080 think of Peter Dutton's prospects? 0:36:20.480 --> 0:36:23.239 Well, certainly, if there's an election this weekend, Shari, then 0:36:23.719 --> 0:36:27.360 you would see a Labor minority government, and probably a 0:36:27.400 --> 0:36:30.879 deep one at that. Look, clearly Labor has some momentum back. 0:36:31.000 --> 0:36:31.440 Finally. 0:36:31.880 --> 0:36:34.239 They spent the last three years trying to get momentum 0:36:35.080 --> 0:36:38.040 by all manner of different things, but they've actually got 0:36:38.040 --> 0:36:39.960 a bit momentum now. A little bit of that is 0:36:40.040 --> 0:36:42.920 from interest rate, a little bit of that is from 0:36:43.200 --> 0:36:45.719 the medicare policy they had, but most of it has 0:36:45.760 --> 0:36:49.680 come through a concerted effort to bring down Peter Dutton, 0:36:49.680 --> 0:36:52.920 whether that be through earned media hit jobs or a 0:36:52.960 --> 0:36:57.319 two million dollar paid advertising blitz against Peter Dutton. Peter 0:36:57.400 --> 0:37:00.160 Dutton is all they want to talk about. They don't 0:37:00.160 --> 0:37:02.080 to talk about the economy because it's in the toilet. 0:37:02.080 --> 0:37:04.040 They don't want to talk about the budget necessarily because 0:37:04.040 --> 0:37:06.120 it's covered with red ink. All they've got to talk 0:37:06.120 --> 0:37:08.200 about is Petter Dutton. It's the first thing they think 0:37:08.239 --> 0:37:10.040 about when they wake up, it's the last thing they 0:37:10.040 --> 0:37:11.880 think about when they go to bed. All they want 0:37:11.920 --> 0:37:13.640 to talk about is peit of Dutton. The question is 0:37:13.640 --> 0:37:17.880 whether this is going to keep alarming people over the 0:37:17.960 --> 0:37:20.239 long term. I think people naturally will get sick of it, 0:37:20.280 --> 0:37:22.359 particularly this far out from an election. If you keep 0:37:22.360 --> 0:37:25.960 going down this path of negativity, negativity, negativity, it's going 0:37:26.000 --> 0:37:26.719 to wear pretty thin. 0:37:28.080 --> 0:37:31.399 There's also the budget which we now are going to have. 0:37:31.600 --> 0:37:33.920 You know, the government at Albanezi certainly didn't want to have. 0:37:34.000 --> 0:37:35.200 He wasn't planning for it. 0:37:35.560 --> 0:37:35.960 Cameron. 0:37:36.000 --> 0:37:38.960 We heard the Treasurer to say, We heard the treasure 0:37:39.120 --> 0:37:43.200 today say that the impact from ext tropical cyclone Alfred 0:37:43.280 --> 0:37:46.000 it'll be around one point two billion dollar hit to 0:37:46.040 --> 0:37:50.080 the budget bottom line. So is this softening the ground 0:37:50.120 --> 0:37:52.680 for the budget position being worse than expected? 0:37:55.120 --> 0:37:57.279 Well, I think if you look at my EFA which 0:37:57.360 --> 0:37:59.520 Jim Chalmers brought down December, the numbers aren't going to 0:37:59.560 --> 0:38:02.240 get any better Shahi in March for the full budget. 0:38:02.360 --> 0:38:04.320 And it's certainly certainly the case that Alba want to 0:38:04.320 --> 0:38:06.600 avoid a full budget all costs. But I think it's 0:38:06.640 --> 0:38:09.400 a real opportunity for Charmers to shine. I mean, Charmers 0:38:09.480 --> 0:38:11.719 is doing the work as treasurer to shape up the 0:38:11.719 --> 0:38:14.400 budget in a week's time, he'll deliver that and the 0:38:14.480 --> 0:38:17.399 shape and the big contest between Charmers, who I think 0:38:17.480 --> 0:38:19.600 is really on the money as a treasurer, and the 0:38:19.640 --> 0:38:22.880 flop and the flake that is Angus Taylor as the 0:38:22.880 --> 0:38:25.320 shadow treasurer will be the huge problem with his campaign. 0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:28.360 Every time Angers Taylor's out there with a new hairdoo, 0:38:28.840 --> 0:38:31.000 Jim Charms out there doing the real hard work as 0:38:31.000 --> 0:38:32.880 a treasurer. So that's the difference, and I think that 0:38:32.920 --> 0:38:35.759 contrast will be something we'll see throughout the campaign, right 0:38:35.800 --> 0:38:36.600 through to the May election. 0:38:37.000 --> 0:38:37.919 What do you think about that? 0:38:38.000 --> 0:38:42.360 Andrew Carswell is at a fair characterization flake for Angus Taylor? 0:38:43.640 --> 0:38:46.440 No, it's not, and the Coalition will have more to 0:38:46.440 --> 0:38:50.240 say on their economic policies as a little ection draws closer. 0:38:50.960 --> 0:38:53.239 The thing about Jim though, he's got it. He's usually 0:38:53.360 --> 0:38:56.320 very good salesman, but he's got He's got a budget 0:38:56.360 --> 0:38:58.640 that is absolutely covered in reading to sell that there 0:38:58.640 --> 0:38:59.960 are no goodies in this budget. 0:39:00.120 --> 0:39:01.560 Beyond a little. 0:39:01.320 --> 0:39:06.759 Bit of help with energy bills, there's deficits to near eternity. 0:39:07.320 --> 0:39:11.239 There's record government spending which the public are becoming suspicious with. 0:39:12.120 --> 0:39:14.960 So it's really selling the unsellable. And yes he might 0:39:15.000 --> 0:39:17.520 be the best salersman of the government, but it's a 0:39:17.680 --> 0:39:19.759 very very tough sale heading into a campaign. 0:39:20.239 --> 0:39:22.520 All right, Andrew Carswell, Cameron Milner, great to see you 0:39:22.560 --> 0:39:25.520 as always for our political panel on a Monday now 0:39:25.560 --> 0:39:28.680 after the break law, students told they could fail exams 0:39:28.719 --> 0:39:31.759 if they're welcome to country is underwhelming, or if they 0:39:31.800 --> 0:39:35.800 refuse to acknowledge traditional owners, plus the absurd projects funded 0:39:35.800 --> 0:39:38.960 by your taxpayer dollars. Just into Namber jimper Price would 0:39:39.000 --> 0:39:40.879 joined me after this quick break. 0:39:44.680 --> 0:39:47.799 Welcome back or just into Namba. Jimper Price could potentially 0:39:47.840 --> 0:39:48.279 be the. 0:39:48.200 --> 0:39:52.520 Next Doze of Australia, our nation's answer to Elon Musk, 0:39:52.920 --> 0:39:56.800 and such a role is unfortunately needed. The Sunday Telly 0:39:56.840 --> 0:40:00.640 reports that your taxpayer dollars are finding over a million 0:40:00.760 --> 0:40:05.960 dollars on decolonizing breastfeeding nearly nine hundred thousand dollars on 0:40:06.200 --> 0:40:10.080 the mouth as an expression of racial injustice. Over three 0:40:10.160 --> 0:40:14.320 hundred grand on subverting souvenir teatowers and eighteen thousand dollars 0:40:14.719 --> 0:40:18.640 on a drag experiment. We're joining us now to discuss 0:40:18.680 --> 0:40:22.399 this shadow Indigenous Australians. Minister just into Navagin for price, 0:40:22.480 --> 0:40:25.799 just into thank you very much for your time. What 0:40:25.920 --> 0:40:28.799 even is decolonizing breastfeeding? 0:40:29.080 --> 0:40:30.360 It just is so absurd. 0:40:32.080 --> 0:40:35.239 Look, it is absolutely absurd. 0:40:35.360 --> 0:40:38.440 And again it goes back to this concept that somehow 0:40:38.480 --> 0:40:42.080 First Nations people, Indigenous Australians have to be treated differently 0:40:43.000 --> 0:40:45.440 to the rest of the country and for some reason 0:40:46.320 --> 0:40:50.239 the concept of breastfeeding has been colonized and needs to 0:40:50.280 --> 0:40:54.520 be decolonized. I mean, I don't know why we're not 0:40:54.600 --> 0:40:58.040 supporting programs that take an approach to support mothers in 0:40:58.080 --> 0:41:00.520 general in terms of how to take care of their 0:41:00.600 --> 0:41:07.080 children with breastfeeding and those sorts of issues and concerns. 0:41:05.640 --> 0:41:11.359 But these grants were found by the Menzies Research Center. 0:41:11.400 --> 0:41:14.840 They've been doing a rafter work. They're about twenty one grants. 0:41:15.000 --> 0:41:18.520 That they have found that have been identified and sub 0:41:18.680 --> 0:41:23.279 got to my attention and to the Coalition's attention. The 0:41:23.280 --> 0:41:26.720 Prime Minister needs to explain why he thinks these grants 0:41:26.840 --> 0:41:31.640 are a valuable spend of tax payers money because where 0:41:31.640 --> 0:41:35.200 I'm sitting, I'm just scratching my head at the moment. 0:41:36.520 --> 0:41:39.239 I know the examples of waste are so absurd, and 0:41:39.320 --> 0:41:42.680 yet we have seen Peter Dutton and you as well 0:41:42.840 --> 0:41:46.520 face criticism when you've announced your plans to look at 0:41:46.520 --> 0:41:50.000 the waste and to actually cut the public service. Gise, 0:41:50.320 --> 0:41:51.960 I just want to ask you about this report in 0:41:52.000 --> 0:41:55.480 Today's Australian that revealed law students at Macquarie University Law 0:41:55.520 --> 0:41:59.960 School may fail an exam if they perform an underwhelm 0:42:00.440 --> 0:42:05.400 acknowledgment of country or even refuse to acknowledge the traditional 0:42:05.480 --> 0:42:07.400 aborage or owners at all. 0:42:07.600 --> 0:42:08.520 What's your view of this. 0:42:11.560 --> 0:42:12.799 It's quite disgraceful. 0:42:13.160 --> 0:42:15.200 I think you know, the whole concept of welcome to 0:42:15.239 --> 0:42:19.400 country is a reinvention of culture if you like the 0:42:19.440 --> 0:42:23.520 fact that it is being imposed upon university students in 0:42:23.560 --> 0:42:29.960 their educational institutions, especially when it's being implanted into courses 0:42:30.280 --> 0:42:34.080 that actually don't have anything to do with indigenous culture, 0:42:34.280 --> 0:42:35.600 history or anything like that. 0:42:37.640 --> 0:42:42.080 This is pure indoctrination. It's not education. It's something that 0:42:42.080 --> 0:42:45.279 we as a coalition have a plan to ensure does 0:42:45.320 --> 0:42:48.120 not go ahead. And I know that my wonderful colleagues 0:42:48.160 --> 0:42:51.680 Sarah Henderson is doing a rafter work in this space. 0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:54.879 As we know when we've been looking at anti semitism 0:42:54.920 --> 0:42:59.520 also within universities, that we can't continue to push these 0:42:59.520 --> 0:43:01.319 ideals onto. 0:43:01.000 --> 0:43:03.440 Students, and they should be there if they're right to 0:43:03.520 --> 0:43:06.080 have an education and not be indoctrinated. 0:43:06.560 --> 0:43:09.960 I hear so many examples of the parents of university 0:43:10.000 --> 0:43:14.160 students telling me that their kids know that they have 0:43:14.280 --> 0:43:18.160 to give what is seen as the right answer when 0:43:18.200 --> 0:43:21.920 it comes to taking a particular position in a subject essay, 0:43:22.080 --> 0:43:24.759 no matter what the topic, because otherwise they'll get marked. 0:43:24.480 --> 0:43:24.920 Down for it. 0:43:24.960 --> 0:43:27.160 And at the end of the day, the students are 0:43:27.200 --> 0:43:30.480 there to get good marks, to succeed and get a job. So, 0:43:30.920 --> 0:43:33.760 you know, the idea that university is are stifling freedom 0:43:33.760 --> 0:43:35.400 of thought is very disturbing. 0:43:36.400 --> 0:43:39.160 You just mentioned Yeah, go ahead. 0:43:39.880 --> 0:43:41.560 Sorry, I was just going to say, I mean, I'm 0:43:41.600 --> 0:43:43.480 also hearing from students as well. 0:43:43.520 --> 0:43:45.960 I think this is really just the tip of the iceberg, 0:43:46.000 --> 0:43:46.640 and we will. 0:43:46.520 --> 0:43:50.719 Probably uncover a lot more than just this in terms 0:43:50.760 --> 0:43:54.040 of what universities are subjecting students to exactly. 0:43:54.040 --> 0:43:57.240 That's why we do need a oral commission into it today. 0:43:57.280 --> 0:44:01.600 Peter Dutton committed thirty five million dollars if he wins 0:44:01.600 --> 0:44:05.280 the election to restore the adasses Or Synagogue in Melbourne, 0:44:05.320 --> 0:44:07.279 which was firebomb last year. 0:44:07.320 --> 0:44:08.680 Here he was today. 0:44:10.200 --> 0:44:13.919 Coalition government would provide funding of up to thirty five 0:44:13.920 --> 0:44:18.160 million dollars to provide support to build back. As James 0:44:18.160 --> 0:44:23.200 pointed out before, this synagogue, this center, and this wonderful 0:44:23.200 --> 0:44:25.960 contributor to life here in the local community. 0:44:26.400 --> 0:44:27.880 We want to bring it back to life. 0:44:28.760 --> 0:44:29.200 Jisinda. 0:44:29.239 --> 0:44:32.279 I was actually quite shocked in the past few months 0:44:32.280 --> 0:44:36.360 to see that the Albertezy government hasn't made an equivalent promise. 0:44:38.160 --> 0:44:41.720 No, well, actually I'm not terribly shocked in terms of 0:44:41.760 --> 0:44:42.960 this government's actions. 0:44:43.000 --> 0:44:46.120 Albanesi has failed at a number. 0:44:45.800 --> 0:44:49.799 Of levels to address anti Semitism in our country. You know, 0:44:50.120 --> 0:44:53.760 Peter Dutton came out when we saw what was happening 0:44:53.840 --> 0:44:56.880 on October seven and the horrible things that occurred on 0:44:56.960 --> 0:45:00.160 the Opera House, and ever since Peter Dutton has on 0:45:00.200 --> 0:45:02.600 a line clearly in the sand that we do not 0:45:02.840 --> 0:45:07.040 accept anti Semitism, terrorism and that level of violence within 0:45:07.080 --> 0:45:07.760 our country. 0:45:08.239 --> 0:45:10.560 The Prime Minister. It is shameful that the Prime Minister 0:45:10.600 --> 0:45:11.959 has failed to. 0:45:11.920 --> 0:45:15.440 Even make any kind of commitment towards restoring the synagogue 0:45:15.719 --> 0:45:19.920 or any other commitment toward tackling anti Semitism with any 0:45:20.160 --> 0:45:23.840 real depth or a way that's going to be to 0:45:23.960 --> 0:45:27.480 ensure that our Jewish community feels like they can be 0:45:27.520 --> 0:45:30.239 safe in Australia in twenty twenty five. 0:45:30.960 --> 0:45:32.960 Well, I don't have the exact figures at hand, but 0:45:33.000 --> 0:45:36.080 I think he's committed something like two hundred thousand dollars, 0:45:36.440 --> 0:45:38.960 but nowhere near in the scale of thirty five million 0:45:39.000 --> 0:45:41.800 that died in did today just send to really appreciate 0:45:41.800 --> 0:45:42.399 your time as. 0:45:42.280 --> 0:45:43.399 Always, Thank you so much. 0:45:44.360 --> 0:45:48.680 All Right, Despite overwhelmingly bad media coverage, Donald Trump hits 0:45:48.920 --> 0:45:51.399 his highest approval rating ever. 0:45:51.440 --> 0:45:53.920 I'll talk about that with Kosher Gada. 0:45:53.880 --> 0:46:00.319 Next, all right, and to finish up, let's have a 0:46:00.320 --> 0:46:04.800 look at the US and Skynese contributed Koshagada joins me. Now, Kosha, 0:46:04.920 --> 0:46:08.120 two hundred and fifty accused migrant gang members have been 0:46:08.160 --> 0:46:09.560 deported to Ol Salvador. 0:46:10.160 --> 0:46:12.960 But this could be illegal. 0:46:13.360 --> 0:46:16.040 It is illegal, that's in contravention of the federal judges 0:46:16.120 --> 0:46:18.000 ruling against Trump on this. 0:46:18.480 --> 0:46:21.040 Will there be any ramifications. 0:46:22.360 --> 0:46:24.960 You know, legally, Shari, It's hard to see that there 0:46:25.000 --> 0:46:27.520 will be, because what the Trump team's argument is, in 0:46:27.600 --> 0:46:30.640 terms of the narrow legal question that the judge's ruling 0:46:31.200 --> 0:46:34.880 was talking about, is jurisdictional. The executive order that the 0:46:34.880 --> 0:46:37.640 Trump team based this on is basing it on some 0:46:38.120 --> 0:46:41.840 statue from the eighteenth century that the judge is challenging 0:46:41.840 --> 0:46:44.480 whether or not that applies here. And their argument is, 0:46:44.480 --> 0:46:46.799 by the time that order came down, the planes were 0:46:46.840 --> 0:46:49.759 already either mid air in international airspace and so the 0:46:49.840 --> 0:46:52.319 judge did not have jurisdiction on them, or it had 0:46:52.400 --> 0:46:55.000 landed in El Salvador. So I think that's going to 0:46:55.000 --> 0:46:56.719 work its way up to an appeals court, but it's 0:46:56.800 --> 0:46:58.799 kind of a moot point because those folks are not 0:46:58.840 --> 0:47:01.840 American citizens. They're already out of the country. More broadly, 0:47:01.880 --> 0:47:04.560 there's a constitutional issue that has been brewing for quite 0:47:04.560 --> 0:47:07.440 some time, and this is another example on that. Where 0:47:07.640 --> 0:47:11.760 do individual judges who have single jurisdictions and the different 0:47:11.800 --> 0:47:14.840 parts of the country have the authority to keep issuing 0:47:14.840 --> 0:47:18.600 these nationwide injunctions against the head of the executive branch, 0:47:18.600 --> 0:47:20.799 which is the president. And I think that thing it's 0:47:21.040 --> 0:47:23.279 we're not at a constitutional crisis yet, but it's headed 0:47:23.320 --> 0:47:25.360 in that direction. The more and more of these happen, 0:47:25.520 --> 0:47:28.719 And the last point quickly I'd make is the ramifications. Politically, 0:47:29.040 --> 0:47:31.880 I think it hurts the Democrats because this issue is 0:47:31.920 --> 0:47:34.000 one of the few in a divided country that's an 0:47:34.040 --> 0:47:36.600 eighty twenty issue where eighty percent of the electorate wants 0:47:36.960 --> 0:47:39.920 violent criminal gang members that are in the country illegally 0:47:40.000 --> 0:47:42.880 out and there's videos showing them going out there and 0:47:42.920 --> 0:47:45.799 they're like fully tattooed and not sympathetic figures at all. 0:47:46.080 --> 0:47:48.200 I think them trying to fight to say, turn that 0:47:48.239 --> 0:47:50.040 plane around, bring them back is not going to play 0:47:50.080 --> 0:47:51.440 well politically for the Democrats. 0:47:52.400 --> 0:47:56.160 If only we could deport violent criminals here as well. 0:47:56.480 --> 0:47:59.360 Coach should tell us about this polling, because most of 0:47:59.400 --> 0:48:01.360 the media cover each that we see about Trump is 0:48:01.440 --> 0:48:04.319 pretty negative, but we hear that he has had his 0:48:04.440 --> 0:48:07.440 highest approval writing ever, movod is saying the US is 0:48:07.440 --> 0:48:10.200 on the right track than any time in the past 0:48:10.200 --> 0:48:10.839 twenty years. 0:48:10.880 --> 0:48:13.440 Tell us about this poll. 0:48:13.640 --> 0:48:16.279 Yeah, so that poll about just the country overall is 0:48:16.400 --> 0:48:18.480 headed in the right direction wrong direction is one of 0:48:18.480 --> 0:48:20.960 the seminal polls in US politics. I think it's been 0:48:20.960 --> 0:48:23.560 measured since nineteen thirty six or something like that, and 0:48:23.600 --> 0:48:25.960 that's always like a great heartbeat of just where the 0:48:25.960 --> 0:48:29.640 country stands, even above and beyond the president. And these 0:48:29.680 --> 0:48:32.319 are really remarkable numbers. I think the last time it 0:48:32.320 --> 0:48:33.959 was this high, I was in two thousand and four, 0:48:34.400 --> 0:48:36.759 and in just September, just a few months ago, it 0:48:36.800 --> 0:48:39.400 was only twenty seven percent of the country thought that 0:48:39.440 --> 0:48:41.680 it was on the right track versus now forty four 0:48:41.760 --> 0:48:44.720 percent or higher depending on different polls, So that's huge. 0:48:44.920 --> 0:48:48.040 I also think Trump's personal best is interesting too, So 0:48:48.160 --> 0:48:51.560 his own approval ratings, while under fifty percent, are the 0:48:51.600 --> 0:48:54.600 highest they've ever been, and that, really, I think is 0:48:54.800 --> 0:48:58.000 a fascinating epilogue to the comeback story that we've been 0:48:58.040 --> 0:49:00.120 reporting about for the better part of last year and 0:49:00.160 --> 0:49:02.920 where he was down in the doldrums after January sixth 0:49:03.080 --> 0:49:05.560 to winning and now you're having that level of approval 0:49:05.680 --> 0:49:08.680 is really quite stunning. It won't last forever. He will falter, 0:49:08.800 --> 0:49:10.799 I'm sure along the way, but so far, so good 0:49:10.840 --> 0:49:11.960 for just not even two months in. 0:49:12.520 --> 0:49:15.520 Yeah, it's pretty pretty extraordinary. And I think a lot 0:49:15.520 --> 0:49:18.480 of that will hinge on where Russia Ukraine ends up, 0:49:18.520 --> 0:49:20.640 because he said he was going to solve this crisis. 0:49:21.360 --> 0:49:25.000 Let's see, all right, Koshagada, appreciate your time and thanks 0:49:25.080 --> 0:49:28.720 everyone for your company tonight. I'll see you tomorrow at eight, 0:49:28.840 --> 0:49:29.759 looking forward to it. 0:49:29.800 --> 0:49:31.439 And here's Paul in the man Cave.
