1
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: Good morning, and welcome to the Daily Odds. Today's Tuesday,

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: the second of March, and my name is Zara Sidler.

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: There'll be more make sense if today's news is Sam Kozlowski.

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 2: Making news today the HK Royal Commission PM responds to

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 2: historic rape allegations, some good news about baby rhinos, and he's.

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: Back a chat about Donald Trump. He is Today's daily digest.

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: The final report from the Royal Commission into aged care

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: was released yesterday. The commission made one hundred and forty

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 2: eight recommendations, including a shift to a funding system based

10
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 2: on individual's needs. The federal government announced an extra four

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty two million dollars in agecare funding to

12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: address immediate priorities.

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: And during that press conference there were also a lot

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: of questions asked about these historic rape allegations that have

15
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: been in the news over the last couple of days,

16
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: and in response to those allegations made against the sitting

17
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: cabinet minister, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said in quotes, at

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: this stage there are no matters that require my immediate attention,

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: adding that he had had a discussion with the individual involved,

20
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: who he said absolutely rejects the allegations. The Prime Minister

21
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: reiterated the role of the police in investigating the alleged

22
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: crime and said that he is not the commissioner of

23
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,919
Speaker 1: the police and therefore all allegations of criminal conducts should

24
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: be dealt with by competent and authorized agencies.

25
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: News from Hong Kong Now and Hong Kong authorities have

26
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 2: charged forty seven pro democracy activists with subversion, which is

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: the largest use yet of Beijing's sweeping new national security laws.

28
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: The European Unions Office in Hong Kong said the charges

29
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: were of great concern and to the good news.

30
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: Tarango Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo has announced the birth

31
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: of a critically endangered black rhino calf. There's only about

32
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: five thousand black rhinos worldwide and Dubbo Zoo have had

33
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,919
Speaker 1: one of the most successful breeding programs in the world.

34
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: Sam has asked me to assure the listeners that both

35
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: mum and calf are doing well.

36
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk Donald Trump. He made his first

37
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: big speech yesterday after leaving the World House in January,

38
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: and it's offered us some really important clues into what

39
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: is next for Trump and his family. And it's worth

40
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 2: having a chat about I know there's some Trump fatigue around,

41
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: but it's an important story to get the hold of

42
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 2: because he's not leaving the political cycle anytime soon.

43
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: Okay, So this speech went for over ninety minutes, and

44
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: for our listeners who might not have ninety minutes to spare,

45
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: what's the basic rundown.

46
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: There are basically three key points that came out of

47
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: the speech yesterday. Number one, and most importantly is that

48
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 2: a twenty twenty four run from Donald Trump is certainly

49
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: on the cards. He made a comment that he can

50
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: defeat the Democrats for a third time, which, of course

51
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 2: third time, well that's assuming that he's counting his win

52
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, which the Electoral College would disagree with.

53
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: The second key point is basically we know where his

54
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: targets are, and there's two key targets. We know that

55
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: one of his targets is Joe Biden, and that falls

56
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: in line with a twenty twenty four run again, and

57
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 2: the key points he was going after with Biden was

58
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: his COVID nineteen response and his immigration po which he

59
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 2: says would weaken America. And the second group of people

60
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 2: he went after were the Republicans who voted for him

61
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: to be impeached.

62
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: But that's interesting because wouldn't he have to run as

63
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: a Republican again to be re elected.

64
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: Well, one of the things he ruled out was starting

65
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 2: his own party. So yes, he firmly sees himself within

66
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 2: the Republican framework, and he'd need the party's support to

67
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: run with.

68
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 1: It, and would the party support him.

69
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: It's been a question that a lot of commentators have

70
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: speculated on this year as to whether Trump would be

71
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: running as a Republican or in the Trump Party, and

72
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: yesterday Trump revealed that he would not be starting a

73
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: new party. He still has a lot of sway over

74
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: Republicans and the Republican movement. We can't forget that he

75
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: had seventy four million people in America vote for him

76
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: during the twenty twenty election. In fact, at the actual

77
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 2: convention he was speaking out yesterday, they did an exit poll.

78
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: Now we're assuming that most of the audience there would

79
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: be Republicans because it was a conservative conference. Sixty eight

80
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: percent of people at the conference said that they would

81
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: like to see Trump run again, and ninety five percent

82
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: of people at the conference said they wanted to the

83
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: party to continue to pursue Trump's agenda.

84
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: While those numbers are certainly significant, it's very much not

85
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: a cross section of the American society. So SEAPAC is

86
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: a conference that is organized by particularly conservative voices and

87
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: advocates within America, and therefore that would be the very

88
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: base that Donald Trump would be speaking to in any

89
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: reelection bid. In fact, it's actually the place where in

90
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: twenty eleven a presidential hopeful, Donald Trump tested the waters

91
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: first and actually gave his first speech. So this is

92
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: very much his breeding ground and we would expect large

93
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: support from the conservatives there.

94
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: So what a lot of commentators are taking out of

95
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: yesterday is that his base still really loves him and

96
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: they aren't going anywhere in their loyalties to Donald Trump,

97
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 2: even after the events of Capitol Hill on January sixth.

98
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 2: The other point is that a lot of people are

99
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: feeling this sense of Trump fatigue, and the speech yesterday

100
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: made a lot of people realize they actually have to

101
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: fight against that and keep tabs on what's happening with

102
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: the former president. He's not going anywhere, and he's not

103
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 2: leaving the US political circuit anytime soon.

104
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: Alrighty, that is all the Trump talk that we have

105
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: time for today though I'm sure this is just the beginning,

106
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: but in the meantime, please follow the day's news on
