Is 12 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 3: US President Donald Trump looking for an exit strategy to 13 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 3: this war in Iran? That's the question on my mind 14 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 3: after he announced yesterday that the US is postponing military 15 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 3: strikes on Iranian power plans. Now, remember he issued a 16 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,839 Speaker 3: warning a few days ago on social media and said, 17 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 3: and I quote, if Iran doesn't fully open without threat 18 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 3: the Strait of Homus within forty eight hours from this 19 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 3: exact point in time, the United States of America will 20 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 3: hit and obliterate their various power plans, starting with the 21 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 3: biggest one. First, thank you for your attention to this matter. 22 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 3: President J. Donald Trump. That's what the President of the 23 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 3: US said when issued the winning a few days ago, 24 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 3: and then just hours before that deadline, he said, those 25 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 3: are tacks on Iranian power plants will be postponed for 26 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 3: five days. He said on social media that the US 27 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 3: and Iran have had good and productive conversations over the 28 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 3: past two days about a complete and total resolution of 29 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 3: hostilities in the Middle East. In fact, this is what 30 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,399 Speaker 3: he said yesterday. 31 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 4: We're dealing with the man who I believe is the 32 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 4: most respected and the leader. 33 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 3: You know, it's a little tough. 34 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 4: They've wiped out, We've wiped out everybody now, not the 35 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 4: Supreme Leader. We don't well, nobody's ever nobody heard of 36 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 4: the second Supreme Leader of the Sun. 37 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 3: Nobody. We have not heard from the Sun. 38 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 4: Everyone said a while you see a statement made, but 39 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 4: we have not. We don't know if he's living. 40 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 5: We're looking for all of the things that we've been 41 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 5: talking about. We want to see no nuclear bomb, no 42 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 5: nuclear weapon, not even close to it in the missiles. 43 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 5: We want to see peace in the Middle East. We want. 44 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 3: The nuclear dust. 45 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 5: We're gonna want that, and I think we're going to 46 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 5: get that. 47 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 6: We've agreed to that. 48 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, we're gonna. 49 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 5: Wave agreed to that, and we want no Enrichmond, but 50 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 5: we also want the rich enriched uranium where if this happens, 51 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 5: it's a great start for Iran to build itself back, 52 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 5: and it's everything that we want, and it's also great 53 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 5: for Israel, and it's great for the other Middle Eastern countries, 54 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 5: Saudi Arabia, UAE guitar all of them, Kawait and Bahrain 55 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 5: in particular, So it's great for all of them. 56 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 3: So that's what the US President said. Did you hear 57 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 3: the beginning part of what he said? I mean, I 58 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: don't know if the US knows for sure that they're 59 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 3: speaking to the right people, because they think they're talking 60 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 3: to someone who seems to be a top official in 61 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 3: the Iranian regime quote unquote, But did you hear what 62 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 3: he said about who the US believes they're talking to. 63 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 3: We're dealing with the man who I believe is the 64 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 3: man who I believe is Huh. They're not sure that 65 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 3: men could or could not be a top legitimate Iranian official. 66 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 3: He says, it's a man I believe would be a 67 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 3: top Iranian official. That's really fascinating and then after what 68 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 3: he said yesterday, Iran came out and denied that it's 69 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 3: in talks with the US. And of course the Iranian 70 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 3: administration could be lying here as part of their negotiating 71 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 3: negotiating tactic, or President Donald Trump could also be lying 72 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 3: for whatever reason, because that's a part and puzzle of war. 73 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 3: It's not just about amor and artillery. It's about information. 74 00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 3: It's about messaging and how you position your messaging that 75 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 3: actually makes your country appear as strong. Now I suspect 76 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 3: that the US president is looking for an exit strategy. 77 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 3: In fact, I think this could be an acceptance of defeat. 78 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 3: Remember the US was pinning its hopes on regime change. 79 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 3: It was a bomb in hope strategy that they seemed 80 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 3: to be going with with Israel fire missiles killed the Ayatollah, 81 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 3: and the Iranians are going to rise up against the regime. 82 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 3: But that has not really happened, has it? And now 83 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 3: that the strategy didn't work, what's the fallback strategy? Is 84 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 3: President Trump now trying to buy time? Does he now 85 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 3: realize the economic catastrophe that would ensue globally if the 86 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 3: US bomb's Iranian power plants? I mean his comments yesterday 87 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 3: briefly sent the price of brand crude oil benchmark down 88 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 3: thirteen percent to back below that one hundred one hundred 89 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 3: dollars a battle mark. So the risk President Trump runs 90 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 3: is that if there's an attack on Iranian power plans, 91 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 3: then Iran will retaliate by attacking countries who are supplying 92 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 3: US bases across the Gulf region. Will the US be 93 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 3: there to protect those countries? So this is a big calculation, 94 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 3: and let's hope sanity will prevail over the next four days. 95 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 3: What do you think is at play here? Do you 96 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 3: think President Trump is serious about these intended strikes on 97 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 3: Iranian power plans or is he looking for an exit 98 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 3: strategy that would still position the US as strong oh 99 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 3: one one eight eight three seven o two Send your 100 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 3: WhatsApps on OH seven two seven oh two one seven 101 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 3: oh two. Also, have you seen action essay is raising 102 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 3: some concerns about the Democratic Alliance. They're asking questions about 103 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 3: additional payments made to some senior DA leaders who also 104 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 3: serve in government. So reports have revealed, as you've heard 105 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 3: on EWN, that certain day leaders receive monthly topperp payments 106 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 3: from the party on top of their official government salaries. 107 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 3: So Action Essay has now filed complaints with the Public 108 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 3: Protector and Parliament's Ethics Committee, and what the party is 109 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 3: alleging is that these payments may not have been properly 110 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 3: declared and could be in conflict with the rules governing 111 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 3: members of the executive. So the constitution does state that 112 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 3: members of the executive may not undertake other paid work. 113 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 3: The complaint, though, argues that these top ups could fall 114 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 3: into that category. So does it mean that you, as 115 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 3: a member of the executive you can't be receiving additional 116 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 3: payments from your own political party. That sounds a bit 117 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 3: bizarre to me, And I'd like to know what you think. 118 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 3: Do you believe that it is actually acceptable that John Stein, 119 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 3: Hazen or President Serrama Pausa or Park whoever, who still 120 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 3: has a position within the A and C should not 121 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 3: be paid by the work that they do for the 122 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 3: A and C, or for the DA, or for ction 123 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 3: SA or for whichever party h Does this warrant an investigation? 124 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 3: Or do you think there must be stricter rules around 125 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 3: public officials and how they can end outside of their 126 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 3: government salaries To me at a preliminary level, and I 127 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 3: could be wrong here. This really sounds bizarre what action 128 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 3: Essa is asking for because people who work in government 129 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 3: belong to political parties. Figulin Ballula is the Secretary General 130 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 3: of the a and C. For instance, if he gets 131 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 3: appointed the Minister of Ats and Culture or Sports or health, 132 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 3: he still remains the Secretary General of the a and 133 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 3: C unless the ANC decides that, you know what we 134 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 3: want someone who's going to be permanently li to the 135 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 3: housed like they have in the past. You sit here. 136 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 3: But if he can do both roles that has been allowed. 137 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 3: I mean, Siril Ramaposa is the President of the State 138 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 3: and is the president of the ANC. So is the 139 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 3: deputy president, Paul Masha Dill Huh, Guadermantasha isn't he chair 140 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 3: of the ANC? Are you telling me that there's no 141 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 3: budget to the chairs office at Littully House just because 142 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,599 Speaker 3: he works for government. It looks a bit bizarre. I 143 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 3: don't know if they've got a strong case here, but 144 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,839 Speaker 3: let me know what you think. You can call us 145 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 3: or send us a what's a voice. 146 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: Notapl clement Manyaatela streaming on the Prime Media Plus. 147 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 3: At DearS TV channel eight five six nine point seven 148 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,719 Speaker 3: and one six at them. 149 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 8: Clement, I think it's fair to say that Trump went 150 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 8: into this or without any sort of defined strategy. He 151 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 8: thought it was going to probably be as easy as 152 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,359 Speaker 8: it was for him to bomb both Nigeria and Venezuela. 153 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 8: And another question that I have is that if he 154 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 8: says that all the leaders are either there or this figured, 155 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 8: who has he been negotiating with. That's a big question. 156 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 8: I mean, do not sometimes lives in the world of 157 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 8: his own or I came from Raphantee. 158 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, you're asking such a key question. Like he said, 159 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 3: we have taken them all out. These are the top 160 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 3: Iranian officials. So who are you then talking to? And 161 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 3: that's why I pointed out to you that Donald Trump says, 162 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 3: it's we're talking to someone that I believe is okay, 163 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 3: So you don't know for sure that this person is 164 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 3: actually representing the Iranian administration. You believe that person could. 165 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 3: But also, if you've taken down all of their top officials, 166 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 3: who is really this top official you're talking about? You 167 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 3: must listen to actually what John Stewart said. I must 168 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 3: find that clip for you. Stewart. Oh, it's so brilliant. 169 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 3: I'll find it for you in a moment in fact, 170 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 3: a will you've got it? Listen to it and I thought, 171 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 3: this is such a brilliant analysis of just in a 172 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 3: subtle way explaining what a funny moment. Actually, what we're 173 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 3: witnessing is listen to John Stewart on The Daily Show 174 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 3: making a comment about what Trump announced yesterday. 175 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 9: Escalating tensions in the millies. I must applaud the president 176 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 9: for stepping back from the cliff of escalation and engaging 177 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 9: Iran in productive talks. 178 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 10: Iran has responded at state media saying there are no talks. 179 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 9: Well, now we're in the uncomfortable position of who to believe. 180 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 9: Normally in this situation, I think we'd all be inclined to, 181 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 9: in some measure or not trust the pronouncements coming from 182 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 9: this theocratic and corrupt regime Iran talking about Iran priority, 183 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 9: I just wanna. 184 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: A rah. 185 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 9: We're be inclined not to trust Iran, So let's give 186 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 9: our president the benefit of the doubt and just probe 187 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 9: a little deeper. So you say we're having talks with Iran, 188 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 9: who did. 189 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 4: You talk to a top person? 190 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: Uh? 191 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 9: Top person or the top person. The article really makes 192 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 9: a huge difference here, like the guy or some fucking guy. 193 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 4: You know, it's a little tough. They've wiped out, We've 194 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 4: wiped out everybody. 195 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 9: So a lower level guy who's been elevated to a 196 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 9: higher echelon bottom, who is now a top versatile but 197 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 9: not not stop it or I will rip your stuffed monkey. 198 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 3: Fuck in half. 199 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 9: So you're talking to a guy, but not the top guy, 200 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 9: not the supreme leader now. 201 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 4: Not the supreme leader, but the people that seem to. 202 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 5: Be running it again. 203 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 9: Running it or seem to be running it. It's a 204 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 9: big difference. Hey, where's our car? 205 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 3: Oh? 206 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 9: I gave it to the guy who seems. 207 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: To be the valet. 208 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 9: Yeah, jacket standing by the curb. Seemed like a top 209 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 9: guy and he did take the car. What made you 210 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 9: think he was the top guy when you had the 211 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 9: talks with him? 212 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 5: Mister Widgarf and Christer Kushner had them, so you didn't. 213 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 3: Even talk to them. 214 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 9: You are guys who quite frankly, don't seem like top guys. 215 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 9: Talk to their seemingly somewhat top. 216 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 3: Guy or Jarry, What a brilliant way to put it. Oh, 217 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 3: this man is just so brilliant. You can go and 218 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 3: watch the full clip. It was on the Daily Show, 219 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 3: and I just thought it was so brilliant. Just helping 220 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 3: you understand just the nuance the undertones here. It's important 221 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 3: to listen to the language. Who are you negotiating with? 222 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 3: If America says, oh, it's someone, we think, Oh, who 223 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 3: seems to be the top official? What do you mean 224 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 3: you're not sure? But also you've killed all of them, remember, 225 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 3: so who exactly are you talking to. It's like when 226 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 3: Donald Trump announced last year, we've obliterated their attempts to 227 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 3: build nuclear they will never build it again. Remember the 228 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 3: twelve Day war in Iran. That's what Donald Trump said, 229 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 3: We've obliterated their infrastructure. And yet this year they go 230 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 3: and bomb Iran because they said there was an imminent threat. 231 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 3: How you've obliterated their infrastructure. You said they will never 232 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 3: be able to even build a nuclear weapon ever again, 233 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 3: or attempt to. Oh, it is so confusing, Sebastian, you're 234 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 3: calling us from elder Rada Park. What are your thoughts? 235 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 11: Good morning, Good morning Clemens. On a tree This morning 236 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 11: I read a cheat on safe book Jesse. He said 237 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 11: he has spoken to Jesus, and Jesus's father is very 238 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 11: happy that he's keeping Americans, Americas safe and he's doing 239 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 11: a great, great job. So I don't know, by staking 240 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 11: to Jesus, what does this. 241 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 12: Man means God condoning this, this war and the giving 242 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 12: of people because he says the Lord said, he's doing 243 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 12: a great job. 244 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 13: And I was just like really put on his truth 245 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 13: social page. Donald Trump is not all day egaments. I'm 246 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 13: not sure whether he's got his sec or he's right. 247 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 11: Seriously, the things and I'm scared of him. You know, 248 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 11: the things he says sometimes just it don't make sense. 249 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 11: You know, somebody, once upon a time, this person is 250 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 11: a great guy. As soon as somebody goes against him, 251 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 11: they no longer. 252 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 13: A great guy. They they, oh, they. 253 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 3: In fact, he was close to Taker Colson. It's like 254 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 3: Tucker Coulson went to see him several times before this 255 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 3: new wave of a in Iran, and Tucker Calson was 256 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 3: trying to get the president please don't go to war. 257 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 3: And as soon as Tucker Carlson started speaking out against 258 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 3: the decision of the president to go to war, and 259 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 3: then the President started really saying weird things about Tucker Carson. 260 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 3: When Joe Kent, who's the Director of Counter Terrorism I mean, 261 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 3: that's the guy was probably one of the highest security clearances. 262 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 3: When he comes out and says, I'm resigning because I 263 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 3: can't justify this war in Iran. There was never an 264 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 3: imminent threat. The president then says, oh, he was weak anyway. Really, 265 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 3: so anybody who disagrees with you is a problem. Unice 266 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 3: you and kill Anni Hi. 267 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 14: Hi Rexlement Clement. The question we need to ask is 268 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 14: can this man Trump be trusted because prior to this war, 269 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 14: when they had talks in Oman, you would recall he 270 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 14: said that talks of going very well with the Iranians, 271 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 14: and two days later he bombed Iran. So my question is, 272 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 14: you know, while he's now talking a five day pause 273 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 14: or whatever, what within a few days. I mean, he 274 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,719 Speaker 14: can do anything to me. This guy ex delusional. I 275 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 14: can't understand how who's his advisers. Obviously his advisor is 276 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 14: in Tel Aviv, that's the advisor who told him to attack. 277 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 14: I ran in the first place. But I don't trust Trump, 278 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 14: and what I think is turning the idea they underestimated 279 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 14: the Iranians because if you recall, even in Israel, they've 280 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 14: got the Iron Dome, they've got the David sling. They've 281 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 14: got the arrow a defense systems. And the fact is 282 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 14: the Iranian missiles and drones are penetrating that. If you 283 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:41,199 Speaker 14: saw over the weekend what happened in demon and in Arad. 284 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 14: In Demona and in Arad, you know, you could see 285 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 14: the damage that was done there. So I think that 286 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 14: that is giving them a bit of fear. And by 287 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 14: the way, while seeing in Arad there, having seen Gideon 288 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 14: Sad and Benjamin Natanyahu, I was quite surprised both of 289 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 14: them said the Arenas are now attacking civilians. I thought 290 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 14: to myself, my god, Hiddy and Bibi, where were you 291 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 14: in Gaza when you killed one hundred thousand women and children? 292 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 14: There they're tacking civilians. So I nearly faint. And by 293 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 14: the way, just in this war, you know, what is 294 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 14: also interesting is not much. I mean, by the way, 295 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 14: in Israel, all record, but journalists are banned from reporting, 296 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 14: as you well aware, right, but have you seen that 297 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 14: the the Iranians have brought down an F fifteen stealth bomber. 298 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 14: They shot it and it came on he made an 299 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 14: emergency landing. 300 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 15: So as much. 301 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 14: As they mean the Americans are giving, they are getting 302 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 14: just as much. 303 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 3: And they were not ready for to be getting just 304 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 3: as much. You know, That's why Trump even said we 305 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 3: were surprised. We didn't know they were going to attack 306 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 3: the other Gulf countries. But yeah, that that clip. I 307 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 3: saw the clip that Benjamin Natinau, the Prime Minister of Israel, posted, 308 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 3: I think it was yesterday on Twitter, and he said 309 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 3: Iran has proven again that it is the enemy of 310 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 3: vilization and a danger to the free world, targeting children 311 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 3: and families and the elderly with missiles. I read that 312 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 3: and I was like, no, ways, the irony there is 313 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 3: that really lost? This man wants to talk about Iran 314 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 3: targeting children, families? Does he know what Israel has done 315 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 3: in Gaza? And of course that is completely unacceptable to 316 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 3: be targeting civilians, of course it is. But when everybody 317 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 3: was telling Israel, what did they say? They had justifications 318 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 3: for that, didn't they? But no nobody else can have justifications. 319 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 3: It almost reminds you of America. When they go to countries, 320 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 3: whether it's Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, huh Iraq, anywhere else, they 321 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 3: will always be justifications to go into those countries. But 322 00:20:55,520 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 3: when Russian President Vladimir Putin goes and invades Ukraine. Justification 323 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 3: doesn't matter why because only what America's justifications are the 324 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 3: ones that are correct, that can be It's nine thirty 325 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 3: is your voice, your station, your open line of all 326 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 3: on seveneen twenty four minutes before ten outlook, this is 327 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 3: the seven o two open line. We're taking your calls 328 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 3: on one one eight eight three oh seven O two. 329 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 3: You have been asking you about Donald Trump's announcement yesterday 330 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 3: the President of the US that they're postponing these air 331 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 3: strikes on Iran's power plans. And I think the US 332 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 3: president knows the kind of economic catastrophe that is going 333 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 3: to ensue should they target those that important energy infrastructure. 334 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 3: But now that has been postponed for five days because 335 00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:00,040 Speaker 3: President Trump says they're having negotiations with someone that the 336 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 3: US believes is a top Iranian official. I've been asking 337 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 3: you about that also, actually essay raising concerns about DA 338 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 3: ministers who work in government and still get paid by 339 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 3: the party. That's a bit bizarre to me, because people 340 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 3: who work in government still work for their organizations. So 341 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 3: if you're a DA minister, you're still a DA leader. 342 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 3: So do you still have responsibilities? So the party needs 343 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 3: to remunerate you for working for the organization. But the 344 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 3: actually essay seems to believe that that's that's that that 345 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 3: is against the law. Pol you see, what do you 346 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 3: want to say about that? You're calling us from Preetoria. 347 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 3: Good morning, Yes, sir, morning man. 348 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 16: Look, I suspect that the called action essay people may 349 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 16: have a point. Number one, if you're a minister in 350 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 16: the public office, you are getting paid allard by our 351 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 16: zex money and are working for us as members of 352 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 16: the public. And if you're getting xtra income, the key 353 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 16: question there is did you declare that extra income in parliament? 354 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 16: That's number one if they declare it fie. But the 355 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 16: second question is the principle of following the money. Where 356 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 16: did that money come from? Did this money come from 357 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 16: private sector people who gave them money to the DA 358 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 16: so that they can top up your salary and favors 359 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,360 Speaker 16: from you to me. There's a question there that these 360 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 16: GA members need to answer. Did they declare where did 361 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 16: the money orriginate from the top of your salary as 362 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 16: a public representative being paid the salary by behind the 363 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 16: scenes maybe other kat matt Halla's with a fairer complexion. 364 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 16: Then the end favors. But the money is turning through 365 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 16: your party. 366 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 14: Follow the money? 367 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 15: Where does it come from? 368 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 3: All right, Wells in Victoria, thank you so much for 369 00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 3: your thoughts. You're amount of voice ons that have come through. 370 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 3: Good morning Clem and your team. Clement. 371 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 17: I think in an organization like the A and C, 372 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 17: a general secretary do get a seller, but a chairman 373 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 17: and the rest of the structures they don't get any 374 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 17: cent to a sealer for that matter. 375 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 3: So there is a different. 376 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 17: When you're in government, you remain whatever chairman in the 377 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 17: A and C. Because what I know, there's no pecks 378 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 17: being a chairman of the organization more than a secret 379 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 17: party general. I'm stand for correction if that is possible 380 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 17: from mex in Pretoria. 381 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 3: Clement, I'm glad you raised this issue of. 382 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 18: Burgal parties paying the office parers plus the authors be 383 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 18: money from government. 384 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 3: It's excellently supposed to be like that. It's supposed to 385 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 3: be like that. 386 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 7: Because remember when they start driving these state vehicles to 387 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 7: attend to party. 388 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 3: Party political duties. Well complain, So how are the supposed 389 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 3: to cover those quests? Thank you, Andrew. 390 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 10: Onenjament. Just allow me to ask this, maybe ignorant question. 391 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 10: Andrew is supposed to declare extra endings if we happen 392 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 10: to work as public officials. And if that be so, 393 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 10: if one is appointed as an MP, why is the 394 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 10: party that he belongs to topping up his salary? And 395 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 10: was that top up text? That's just a question. Maybe 396 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 10: it's out of ignorance, Thank. 397 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 19: You all right, Clement. The technical answer is that traditionally 398 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 19: the ANC has not allowed the Secretary General to take 399 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 19: up a government position. It's always been a full time 400 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 19: possession at Lutully House unless they've changed the policy. That's 401 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 19: what you know, That's what it's always been. Having said that, 402 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 19: I think I take your broad point about whether or 403 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 19: not actual essay will be successful in their action. I'm 404 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 19: not sure that they will. But what the DA League has. 405 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 20: Exposed, I think for me is the fact that the 406 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 20: DA are just a bunch of politicians like all the others, 407 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 20: Like their partners in the GA Knew, like the politicians 408 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 20: in the opposition bench. They're all susceptible to the allure 409 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 20: of money. They are not special, they do not have 410 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 20: the moral high ground. They are influenced by money as 411 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 20: much as the next politician. So there's nothing special about them. 412 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 3: Okay, so the concern for me here is I note 413 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 3: that the Constitution states that members of the executive may 414 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 3: not undertake other paid work. That's pretty much clear. My 415 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 3: concern here is how do you then tell a political 416 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 3: party that hey, come work very hard hard to get 417 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 3: votes and then come run government. But the minute you 418 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 3: get into government, you are going to lose skills in 419 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 3: your political party because you're running government. That just doesn't 420 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 3: make sense to me. If you're a member of a 421 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 3: political party, you're a leader of a political party, you 422 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 3: don't just want to focus on government because then you 423 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 3: lose the responsibilities of being on the ground and making 424 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 3: sure that in five years time, South Africans are still 425 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 3: going to vote for you. Like an AMC or a 426 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 3: Democratic Alliance. These are big party machines that still needs qualified, 427 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 3: skilled politicians who are going to drive those political parties, 428 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 3: who are going to make sure that the mandates and 429 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 3: interests of those political parties are still advanced, whether in 430 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 3: government or outside of government. So are we suggesting that 431 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 3: the next time there and that a political party, let's 432 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 3: say the ANC that has let's say a good president 433 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 3: and a goods g and an efficient treasure at General. 434 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 3: The minute those people get appointed into government positions because 435 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 3: their skills are needed there, then the A n C 436 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 3: then loses their skills or the DA then loses their skills. 437 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 3: It's like it's like gime On Jordan hill Lewis. There 438 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 3: are others who will argue that he's been an incredible 439 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 3: mayor for the city of Cape Town. So now that 440 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 3: he's going to become likely at this conference next month 441 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 3: of the Democratic Alliance, now that he's going to likely 442 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 3: take the position of leader of the Democratic Alliance, you 443 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 3: are now suggesting then than what he has to focus 444 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 3: on on on on that leadership position, or focus on 445 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 3: being the mayor of the city of Johannesburg and not 446 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 3: necessarily get involved in the work of the organization. But 447 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 3: what if the organization needs a leader like Jordan hill Lewis. 448 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 3: I don't know how you explain it. You explain the 449 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 3: issue of losing the skills just because you're in government, 450 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 3: because the minute you start forgetting about the work the 451 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 3: party needs to do, then you're not going to be 452 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 3: in government for too long. It's fifteen minutes now before ten. 453 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 21: Trump your voice, your station, your earthen line, both at 454 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 21: all with clements. 455 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 3: When you're up on seven eight the progress. Are you 456 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 3: calling from the Eastland? What are your thoughts? 457 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 22: Good morning, Yes, good morning, Clement. 458 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 23: I hope you're well. 459 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 22: Yeah, my daughts around Donald Trump, I think we're dealing 460 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 22: with someone who's a typeological liar, and we're dealing with 461 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 22: someone who will say anything he needs to do or 462 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 22: say to come the energy markets, right, So my worry 463 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 22: is it I think what he's trying to do is 464 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 22: scheming along with Israel to do something over the weekend. 465 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 22: So if you still this whole war has started, just 466 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 22: notice how they always read for the weekend, Saturday and 467 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 22: Sundays to do something major. So I think something major 468 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 22: going to come over the weekend. He's just waiting for 469 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 22: the energy markets to obviously close on Friday and then 470 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 22: an attack is going to come. So I honestly think 471 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 22: Iran shouldn't actually trust anything that comes out of the 472 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 22: Trump administration. The guy is obviously not in charge of anything. 473 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 22: We can see that his advice is coming from Tennessee's 474 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 22: making every other ones that are in charge. So I 475 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 22: don't know, I really really think Iran shouldn't trust anything. 476 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 22: They should keep sayings about them because this is actually. 477 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,479 Speaker 23: Far from over. You know, it's going to be a 478 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 23: long time. That's why with us South Africa, we need 479 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 23: to make at what do we start doing from our 480 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 23: side in future? You need to almost like insulate ourselves 481 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 23: against these type of things because as much as we 482 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 23: don't have our own oil, but maybe you know, having 483 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 23: a refining capacity like what India has is something we 484 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 23: need to get developing. 485 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 3: Gogatto in the Eastland, thank you for your thoughts.

We've now seen that whatever he says 491 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 24: is actually an opportunity for him to do something different. 492 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 24: But also Slightlyman, this is Emma from Victoria. 493 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 13: Major. 494 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 3: Do man listen. 495 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 25: I think in this case Yan Trena, Yeah, that's what's 496 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 25: his name. 497 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 3: Donald Trump? 498 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 25: What he is claiming, well, we have known Donald Trump 499 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 25: to fly every step of the way.

But being a liar 502 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 25: that has been established beyond beyond all doubt. 503 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 26: We all know that he is a liar. 504 00:31:55,760 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 7: Good morning, seven listeners in Manda. Is not that President 505 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 7: Trump is looking for an exit strategy. The reason I'm 506 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 7: saying this is because the USS gerald Fox, the biggest 507 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 7: career there's now back for maintenance and repairs. There has 508 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 7: been nine months at sea. The sailors are tired, the 509 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 7: trailers are not waiting, so they do not have enough 510 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 7: resources to carry on. Secondly, Iran is now hitting Israel 511 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 7: every night. Messages are going through and killing civilians in Israel. 512 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 7: This thing cannot be sustained. Thirdly, the Gulf nations did 513 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 7: not buy in the ways that you were trying to 514 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 7: build between themselves and Iran because they realize that they 515 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 7: are neighbors they otherwise they will be fighting amongst themselves 516 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 7: on behalf of the US. And third fourthly is because 517 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 7: of the interceptors, the measures that they use to defend defenses. 518 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 7: The are needed in the UA, in the Arabian countries, 519 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 7: they are needed in Ukraine, their needed in Israel. They 520 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 7: are needed by the US to protect their ships and 521 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 7: the see. So not enough of them is left. So 522 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 7: they're starting to panic because now you ran it's only 523 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 7: now startying to unleash some of the deadliest message. So yeah, thank. 524 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 3: You, poy your station. 525 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 21: You're in lineal clements when on seven eighteen. 526 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 3: It's nine minutes before ten o'clock. Let's start with Tembisa. 527 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 3: Who's calling us from Germiston? Tembisa, what are your thoughts? 528 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 3: Good morning? Are you? 529 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 15: Are you welcomemen? 530 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 3: I'm alright, man, go ahead, No, we could look. 531 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 15: The difference between what's happening in the DA and what 532 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 15: happens in the NC. Is that in the ANC, when 533 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 15: you join, you join voluntarily and you join to be 534 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 15: a volunteer, so you become a volunteer. But when the 535 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 15: ANC deploys you to government, you only draw a salary 536 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 15: from government, not from the ANC. The ANC doesn't top 537 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 15: up anyone's salary. If you are in an office better 538 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 15: like the president's National chair, You're office has a budget, 539 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 15: not you. You are not topped at anything before during 540 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 15: your term in whatever office you occupy, you thrown't throw. 541 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 15: You do not throw a salary from the a n C. 542 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 15: The NC only pays its administrators, and the SG is 543 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 15: the head of administration of the ANC and the others. 544 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,839 Speaker 15: The others like the life of the spokesperson. Those are 545 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 15: positions that have to be full time, so those ones 546 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 15: will throw salerty from the party. Do not draw a 547 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 15: salary from governant. 548 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 3: Okay, So what happens if someone is so let's take 549 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 3: let's say Marsenghi, who is now the spokesperson. In fact, 550 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 3: let me make it this way. Let me make a 551 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 3: practical example that's more real. Remember the Deputy Minister of 552 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 3: Trade and Industry, what's his name, the Deputy Minister of 553 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 3: Trade and Industry, that young young chairman Ugolimby. If Golimby 554 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,760 Speaker 3: gets appointed as the sports this person of the ANC, 555 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 3: which he was, even though albeit on a temporary basis, 556 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 3: what happens there then, because that's a that's a position 557 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 3: that must be filled in the a n C. Does 558 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 3: the ANC pay him for his responsibilities as a spokesperson 559 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 3: and while he also serves as deputy minister or he 560 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 3: does that as a temper as at a voluntary level. 561 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 15: He's a volunteer first, so he doesn't he does that voluntarily. Remember, 562 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 15: he's a salary with government and that that's that's the 563 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,919 Speaker 15: salary that he gets is compensated by governments for being 564 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 15: the minister, deputy minister or whatever. But when it comes 565 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 15: to doing A and C work, we have volunteers that 566 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 15: do it voluntarily because we joined it voluntarily to quint 567 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 15: volunteer ourselves for the organization for the party. So in 568 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 15: the D eight it's different when they think they are 569 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 15: topping up salaries and he adds that person is getting 570 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 15: a salary from government that has to be going be 571 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 15: declared in council, government wherever. Okay, so that's the difference 572 00:35:58,480 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 15: between the two. 573 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you so much of that view. I meant 574 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,479 Speaker 3: for clarifying the ten percent bush a park. Thank you. 575 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 3: Let's go to some of the lemon. 576 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:12,919 Speaker 27: Political parties also get up you call transfer funds, which 577 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 27: is carrying from government. So it means if one occupied 578 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 27: is the political position in their party and a position 579 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:26,359 Speaker 27: in government, they are getting paid twice, which is not good. 580 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,800 Speaker 3: So actually I say he's right, money and money payment. 581 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 18: I think you are somewhere somehow we are missing the 582 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:35,280 Speaker 18: point declament. 583 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 28: The question is did they decay? Because that's the question, 584 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 28: did they decay? 585 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 18: Like the answer you can get, I can go and 586 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,879 Speaker 18: give a SMA post, But the question is I can 587 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,720 Speaker 18: give my posts some gift. 588 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 28: The question did you declare those gifts all that. 589 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 18: Money that is coming from his or her. 590 00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:59,720 Speaker 3: Part that's the question. 591 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 28: The question did they declay, did they d a MPs 592 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 28: decay that. 593 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,879 Speaker 18: They are getting some sort of money from the DA. Yes, 594 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 18: the constitution is saying what you are saying now, and 595 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:20,840 Speaker 18: people are working hard for their constitution for their parties. 596 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:25,240 Speaker 3: But the question is did they declare. That's the real question. 597 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:33,720 Speaker 21: Your voice, your station, your open line. I'm seven noteen. 598 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 26: Money in Clement, this is not here. 599 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 8: Yeah. 600 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 26: On the issue of Trump now saying he's in talks 601 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:46,240 Speaker 26: with the Iranian government, I think it's proper than that Clement, 602 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 26: because uh, Trump projected power by giving Iran forty eight hours. 603 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 26: I mean, that is the delusion that Trump hays that, 604 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 26: I mean, I'm giving you forty eight hours to do this, 605 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 26: like a carey at war with you is just going 606 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 26: to comply. So when he realized that they are not 607 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 26: going to comply and they would actually retaliate, he is 608 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:13,720 Speaker 26: now projecting as if they came begging. 609 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 3: I don't think that ever happened. 610 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,879 Speaker 26: I think it's just Donald Trump showing how much he's 611 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 26: out of touch with anything happening in that war. 612 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 6: Well, moaning moaning Trump, mark my words, I don't think 613 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,759 Speaker 6: this war is going to dragon after the end of 614 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 6: the next month, by end of April, because the costs 615 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 6: not just financial, the political cost to the Trump administration 616 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 6: is going to be critically significant. If you recall, America 617 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 6: is heading towards the terms, and and if should Trump 618 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 6: should should to the Republicans lose a lot and then 619 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,280 Speaker 6: the mid terms, they could be moved to impeach Trump. 620 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,840 Speaker 6: He has said it himself that they will find something 621 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 6: to to impish him on, so he cannot risk continuing 622 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 6: Unfeather's collision of this war. I mean, look at Israel 623 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,399 Speaker 6: now going to bomb his energy infrastructure. 624 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 17: Israel is just I don't know if you've got something 625 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 17: on America, Prince, but what. 626 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 29: You morning, Clement. Yeah, we're talking about Iran and the US, 627 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 29: and Iran said US doesn't negotiate with them, and are 628 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:33,880 Speaker 29: quite correct. The person who's negotiating with them is not 629 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 29: a White House official. Kushna is Trump's son in law, 630 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,880 Speaker 29: but he is not a senator or a White House official, 631 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 29: and he's negotiating with them. So yeah, read between the lines, 632 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:58,319 Speaker 29: and yeah, I don't I don't always believe what the 633 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 29: Iranians are saying, but they are probably saying it that 634 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 29: way because if you do catch them out of I'll 635 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 29: say yes. But it wasn't the White House who was 636 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 29: negotiating with us, not the American government. 637 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:09,360 Speaker 4: It was a. 638 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 29: Relation of the president. Thanks Nick Romol
