Speaker 1: Why on Sky News. This his Sharry Good Evening. We
0:08
Speaker 1: start tonight with breaking news. Opposition leader Peter Dutton has
0:12
Speaker 1: just landed in Israel for a three day trip. As
0:15
Speaker 1: we go to air, Dutton is currently meeting with Israeli
0:18
Speaker 1: Foreign Minister Israel Katz. He will then later today local
0:23
Speaker 1: time meet with Israeli President Isaac Hertzog. This is a
0:27
Speaker 1: strong show of support from the Coalition towards our closest
0:32
Speaker 1: ally in the Middle East. It comes as senior figures
0:35
Speaker 1: in the Israeli government are growing increasingly frustrated with the
0:39
Speaker 1: Albanezy governments public criticisms and hostilities. I could also reveal
0:44
Speaker 1: the opposition leader will then meet with hostage families and
0:48
Speaker 1: former hostages who have now been rescued by Israel. These
0:53
Speaker 1: will be deeply emotional meetings for Peter Dutton. You hardly
0:58
Speaker 1: ever hear our current government speak about the hostages. Yet
1:02
Speaker 1: there are still one hundred and twenty Israelis, including baby
1:06
Speaker 1: Kafir Bibas, held captive by terrorists in Gaza. Dutton will
1:11
Speaker 1: also over the coming days travel to the south to
1:14
Speaker 1: the kibbutzs where Hamas slaughtered entire families, and he'll go
1:20
Speaker 1: to the site of the Nova Music festival where oney
1:23
Speaker 1: two hundred young Israelis were gunned down in cold blood.
1:28
Speaker 1: Dutton is unlikely to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
1:33
Speaker 1: who broke his trip to the US to deal with
1:35
Speaker 1: the escalating situation in the north of Israel. There are
1:39
Speaker 1: concerns war is imminent after the tragic and atrocious attack
1:44
Speaker 1: by Hesbela on children over the weekend. Now, Peter Dutton
1:49
Speaker 1: is the most senior Australian politician to visit since October seventh,
1:54
Speaker 1: with Anthony Albernizi refusing to go. Alberanizi is one of
1:59
Speaker 1: the only Western leaders who chose not to visit Israel
2:03
Speaker 1: to show his support over the past nine months, and
2:08
Speaker 1: when Pennywang eventually visited the region, she didn't bother to
2:12
Speaker 1: go to the sites of the October seven massacres. This
2:17
Speaker 1: trip is highly significant. It reinforces Dutton's commitment to Israel,
2:23
Speaker 1: Australia's ally and to the Jewish community. It's a volatile
2:28
Speaker 1: situation at the moment on the ground. Already flights are
2:31
Speaker 1: being canceled to Lebanon amid the tensions with Hesblah and
2:35
Speaker 1: We'll cross live to Israeli politician Sharon Haskell later this
2:39
Speaker 1: hour to speak about how she expects this situation is
2:43
Speaker 1: going to unfold in the North. But Dutton's decision to
2:47
Speaker 1: make a solidarity trip to Israel is a sign of
2:50
Speaker 1: how different foreign relations would be under a Dutton prime ministership,
2:56
Speaker 1: and it highlights the leadership we've been sorely missing from
3:00
Speaker 1: the Albanese government. Now let's turn to Albanesi's cabinet reshuffle.
3:09
Speaker 1: There's a cost of living crisis, a housing crisis, and
3:13
Speaker 1: spiraling power bills and on our streets, lawlessness goes unchecked
3:18
Speaker 1: and an unprecedented breakdown in social cohesion. This is an
3:22
Speaker 1: economic and social crisis. Yet you have to ask is
3:27
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister even serious about fixing these problems, about
3:32
Speaker 1: making life easier for working families who are struggling. Because
3:38
Speaker 1: he's put Clara O'Neill in the critical portfolio of housing
3:42
Speaker 1: and Tony Burke in charge of our national security. Clara
3:47
Speaker 1: O'Neil comprehensively failed as Home Affairs Minister, a point that
3:51
Speaker 1: was obvious even to the PM. It's why he moved
3:55
Speaker 1: her out of that role. Under her watch, Australians were
3:59
Speaker 1: bashed assaulted and a convicted pedophile allegedly contacted children after
4:06
Speaker 1: they were released from immigration detention. Clara O'Neil and her
4:10
Speaker 1: sidekick Andrew Giles failed to protect the community time and
4:15
Speaker 1: time again. Barely a week went by without the opposition
4:19
Speaker 1: calling for her scalp.
4:22
Speaker 2: The best thing would be for Minister Giles and Minister
4:25
Speaker 2: O'Neil to resign, resign today and if that doesn't happen,
4:30
Speaker 2: for the Prime Minister to show some strength.
4:32
Speaker 3: Clara O'Neill is like this, just this rolling train wreck.
4:36
Speaker 3: She's a complete debarkle, just a walking disaster for the government.
4:40
Speaker 4: This is an incompetent, hopeless, hapless Home Affairs minister.
4:44
Speaker 3: Prime Minister should sack Andrew Giles and sack Claara O'Neill.
4:49
Speaker 1: But it wasn't just the Coalition launching a political attack.
4:53
Speaker 1: O'Neil faced tough questions in the media.
4:55
Speaker 5: Too banged legal challenges to come out of this legislation.
5:00
Speaker 6: I'm so sorry, I've got to go to a metage.
5:03
Speaker 7: Missus questions are there, what's your response.
5:08
Speaker 1: Well, we want to know what they did.
5:10
Speaker 4: One raped a fourteen year old stepdaughter while his wife
5:13
Speaker 4: gave birth. One rate the sister of the mother of
5:16
Speaker 4: his infant child, one raped, a disabled fourteen year old
5:20
Speaker 4: and a sixteen year old.
5:22
Speaker 1: Do you think that washes look natt.
5:25
Speaker 4: I completely understand the concern that you have about these
5:28
Speaker 4: and the crimes that you've listed there are absolutely.
5:31
Speaker 8: Horrendous and no member of Parliament and no member of
5:33
Speaker 8: the government is going to disagree with that.
5:36
Speaker 1: Well, the situation is now so bad that we learned
5:39
Speaker 1: on the weekend thanks to journalist at Rhiann and Down,
5:42
Speaker 1: the five hundred and twenty dangerous non citizens were released
5:47
Speaker 1: from immigration to tension by the Albanezy government in its
5:51
Speaker 1: first year in power five hundred and twenty oh and
5:56
Speaker 1: recall that O'Neill called the future president of the United
6:00
Speaker 1: States son a big baby in social media comments. She
6:05
Speaker 1: should have been apologizing, in fact, because her own agency
6:09
Speaker 1: had been slow to grant him a visa. Those comments
6:13
Speaker 1: were juvenile and unbecoming of a senior government minister. As
6:17
Speaker 1: her shadow Home Affairs James Patterson pointed out at the time, his.
6:22
Speaker 9: Purpose is not to exclude people on a political basis
6:26
Speaker 9: or an ideological basis. People have diverse range of political
6:29
Speaker 9: views are perfectly entitled to come to Australia as long
6:31
Speaker 9: as they intend to propagate them in a peaceful way.
6:34
Speaker 9: And I have not seen any evidence to the contrary
6:36
Speaker 9: about mister Trump Junior's planned visit to Australia.
6:41
Speaker 1: And yet Albanizi has now moved Clara O'Neil into the
6:44
Speaker 1: equally important role of Housing Minister, a portfolio that would
6:49
Speaker 1: need enormous heavy lifting. Because the Albanzy government has not
6:53
Speaker 1: built a single completed home under its ten billion dollar
6:58
Speaker 1: Affordable Housing Fund, despite pledging to build forty thousand homes
7:04
Speaker 1: within five years. Well just let that sink in. Not
7:07
Speaker 1: a single home built yet, that's according to Simon Benson's report.
7:11
Speaker 1: Yet it's spent twenty four million dollars on consultants and
7:15
Speaker 1: six million on executive salaries, a poor record to say
7:20
Speaker 1: the least. This is despite the fact that rising rents
7:25
Speaker 1: are one of the key contributors to our inflation crisis.
7:31
Speaker 10: A lot of the remaining inflation that sitting in the
7:34
Speaker 10: Australian economy is driven by supply challenges things like housing.
7:37
Speaker 10: A rate rise will only make the housing crisis worse.
7:41
Speaker 10: It will only contribute to even higher rents.
7:44
Speaker 1: So this means the housing crisis is a big reason
7:47
Speaker 1: inflation remains high, why the cost of living continues to rise,
7:52
Speaker 1: and why the RBA has to keep pushing up rates.
7:55
Speaker 1: Does the Prime Minister really have confidence in Clara O'Neil
7:58
Speaker 1: to fix this? Give her record over the past two years.
8:03
Speaker 1: And then there's Tony Burke, the senior government minister who
8:07
Speaker 1: was slow to properly call out hate preachers and he's
8:10
Speaker 1: now in charge of Social Cohesion in the critical role
8:14
Speaker 1: of Home Affairs. Or it was in Tony Burke's own
8:17
Speaker 1: electorate that this hate preacher you're about to see uttered
8:21
Speaker 1: these deeply offensive remarks just twenty four hours after October seven.
8:28
Speaker 6: Smiling and unhappy. I'm it's a day of courage.
8:45
Speaker 1: On October the tenth, The Australian newspaper reported that Tony
8:49
Speaker 1: Burke and Chris Bowen were under pressure for failing to
8:53
Speaker 1: properly condemn local anti Israel preachers and activists who led
8:58
Speaker 1: rally celebrating her mass's at times. They wrote, Leader of
9:02
Speaker 1: the House mister Burke failed to directly condemn a preacher
9:05
Speaker 1: in his electorate who said he was elated at the
9:09
Speaker 1: murder of Israelis. The head of the nation's peak Jewish
9:12
Speaker 1: body Alex Rivchin called on the Workplace Relations Minister to
9:16
Speaker 1: repudiate this incitement in the harshest and clearest terms, he said.
9:21
Speaker 1: The criticism came after a rally took place in Lakember
9:24
Speaker 1: in mister Burke's Southwest Sydney electorate, during which speakers described
9:28
Speaker 1: attacks on Israel as you just heard, as an act
9:32
Speaker 1: of courage and resistance. Well, Tony Burke himself is pro
9:37
Speaker 1: Palestinian and anti Israel, and remember he didn't disavow the
9:42
Speaker 1: abc of the notion that Israel was committing genocide.
9:47
Speaker 10: I've heard people describe it as a genocide?
9:50
Speaker 11: Do you see it that way?
9:53
Speaker 8: I prefer to provide the facts as I just did,
9:57
Speaker 8: and I think your listeners will will find their own
10:00
Speaker 8: words to be able to describe it. I think when
10:03
Speaker 8: we go straight to do we use this word, do
10:06
Speaker 8: we use that word, we end up in an argument
10:08
Speaker 8: about linguistics. What I want to talk about is what's
10:11
Speaker 8: happening to individuals.
10:14
Speaker 1: But worse than this, what comments that Tony Burke made
10:17
Speaker 1: at the Woodford Folk Festival where he tried to explain
10:21
Speaker 1: away a context for the Hamas attacks on October seven.
10:25
Speaker 1: He said, as you're here. The history of the region
10:27
Speaker 1: didn't begin on the seventh of October.
10:31
Speaker 8: Before the seventh of Octobers.
10:33
Speaker 12: I think it's worth remembering because sometimes this is forgotten
10:37
Speaker 12: any canal, the word has been genocides us here.
10:47
Speaker 13: What is your response to those concerns?
10:50
Speaker 12: Do you share those concerns?
10:52
Speaker 13: The Israeli defeats minister said there will be no food,
10:56
Speaker 13: no water, no fuel. This is a complete siege and then.
11:00
Speaker 8: Described to the community in Gaza as human animals.
11:03
Speaker 13: The discussion that I believe that I believe makes a
11:08
Speaker 13: difference is in people hearing the facts of what is
11:13
Speaker 13: happening on the ground and they will very quickly choose
11:18
Speaker 13: words to describe it.
11:21
Speaker 1: Well. ASIO Boss Mike Burgess has warned that Islamic extremism
11:27
Speaker 1: Islamic extremism is the top domestic terror threat in our country.
11:32
Speaker 1: But how can Tony Burke be the Minister for Home
11:35
Speaker 1: Affairs when instead of a clear eyed focus on Islamic
11:38
Speaker 1: extremism as one of the top threats to Australia, he
11:43
Speaker 1: chooses to more often than not simply attack Israel instead
11:49
Speaker 1: will labor figure Cameron Milner, who is Bill Shotten's former
11:52
Speaker 1: Chief of Staff. He's going to be on my show
11:54
Speaker 1: tonight and his view is that Tony Burke will be
11:58
Speaker 1: compromised as Minister for Home Affairs and Immigration because his
12:02
Speaker 1: seat of Watson is the center of Islamic extremism in Australia.
12:06
Speaker 1: And Cameron Milner says that Burke will be under local
12:09
Speaker 1: pressure from his constituents to take in more Palestinian refugees
12:14
Speaker 1: or Cameron told me today, how could we expect him
12:17
Speaker 1: to take to cabinet a move to list his book
12:20
Speaker 1: to Rear, for instance, given its members are already campaigning
12:24
Speaker 1: against him in his own local seat. There's no question
12:30
Speaker 1: that under Tony Burke we will see a strengthening of
12:33
Speaker 1: the anti Israel position in the Albanese government because he's
12:37
Speaker 1: never been a friend of Israel. Burke's own history in
12:41
Speaker 1: the immigration portfolio is also worrying. He presided over Operation
12:47
Speaker 1: Open Borders for the last three and a half months
12:50
Speaker 1: of the Rudd government back in twenty thirteen. Well two
12:54
Speaker 1: years after this, in twenty fifteen, Tony Burke spoke to
12:58
Speaker 1: Labor Faithful about how he proudly abolished temporary protection visas
13:04
Speaker 1: and he admitted the number of lives the people who
13:08
Speaker 1: had died under his watch. Have a look.
13:12
Speaker 8: I was the shadow Minister for Immigration before the two
13:15
Speaker 8: thousand and seven election. I took to the election and
13:21
Speaker 8: to this conference a platform that the entire conference cheered.
13:26
Speaker 8: I changed our platform so that we stood for the
13:30
Speaker 8: abolition of temporary projection visas. I was there for fewer
13:34
Speaker 8: than four months, and there are thirty three lives that
13:38
Speaker 8: were lost on my watch.
13:41
Speaker 1: Well during the time that he was Immigration minister, Tony
13:44
Speaker 1: Abbott launched a scathing attack on Tony Burke.
13:49
Speaker 14: We've had more than fifty thousand illegal arrivals, more than
13:52
Speaker 14: eight hundred votes, eleven billion dollars in budget blowouts, and
13:56
Speaker 14: tragically more than a thousand deaths. Sy it's important to
14:00
Speaker 14: get the facts straight here.
14:03
Speaker 1: Well, given all of this, it is utterly extraordinary that
14:08
Speaker 1: Tony Burke is now trying to position himself as a
14:10
Speaker 1: future Labor leader, as a future prime minister. It's fascical.
14:15
Speaker 1: If that Albanezy government was doing poorly before on immigration, detention,
14:21
Speaker 1: on refugees, on social cohesion and more, it can only
14:27
Speaker 1: get worse with his new team. I mean, you'd laugh
14:30
Speaker 1: if it wasn't so concerning for our safety and national security.
14:39
Speaker 1: All right, let's bring in tonight's panel, Sky News host
14:42
Speaker 1: Steve Price and contributor Joe Hildebrand. Welcome to you both.
14:46
Speaker 1: Great to see you. Well, let's start with tonight's breaking news.
14:49
Speaker 15: Joe.
14:50
Speaker 1: Peter Dutton is right now in Israel. He's going to
14:53
Speaker 1: be meeting, as I just revealed, with the Israeli President,
14:56
Speaker 1: Isaac Hertzog, with Israeli Foreign Minister, senior members of the government. Joe,
15:01
Speaker 1: this stands in obvious contrast to our Prime minister, who
15:05
Speaker 1: has refused to pay a solidarity visit to Israel since
15:09
Speaker 1: October seven.
15:10
Speaker 16: Yeah, look, I'm not I initially said that Anthony Alberanezi
15:13
Speaker 16: needed to wait for an invitation to visit Israel from
15:16
Speaker 16: the Prime Minister Edemint. It seems that invitation is not
15:19
Speaker 16: going to v forthcoming. It hasn't handled it particularly well,
15:23
Speaker 16: and I think the problem is that you have to
15:27
Speaker 16: be consistent in these things, and you have to take
15:29
Speaker 16: the rights down. You will find that he's actually politically
15:32
Speaker 16: rewarding as well as the right thing to do. And
15:35
Speaker 16: I think if there hadn't been and he was unequivocal
15:38
Speaker 16: in condemning the October seven attacks. He wasn't unlike Penny Wong,
15:42
Speaker 16: he didn't say, oh, you know, we urged Israel to
15:45
Speaker 16: be proportionate in its response. But again, if he hadn't
15:49
Speaker 16: been right there, you know, with Israel visiting those communities
15:53
Speaker 16: that were affected, meeting the Prime Minister, it would make it,
15:56
Speaker 16: I think politically easier for him to, for example, you know,
16:00
Speaker 16: move the motion that was moved in New South Wales
16:02
Speaker 16: Labor Conference over the weekend and to condemn the actions
16:06
Speaker 16: in Gaza, as it was for President Biden to do so,
16:09
Speaker 16: for example, because his allegiance to Israel is not under question.
16:13
Speaker 16: And I think that's where the Labor Party needs to
16:15
Speaker 16: be and they should take a leaf out of Joe
16:18
Speaker 16: Biden's book and maybe not Carmlala Harrison.
16:21
Speaker 1: Well, we'll get to the Labor conference a bit later
16:23
Speaker 1: in the show. But Steve, the Prime Minister, was interviewed
16:26
Speaker 1: on Sky Today by Kieran Gilbert and I was interested
16:29
Speaker 1: to hear him and he doesn't say it often reiterate
16:33
Speaker 1: government's travel advice that people shouldn't be going to Israel.
16:36
Speaker 15: Have a quick look, people shouldn't be traveling Australian citizens
16:40
Speaker 15: shouldn't be traveling to that region given the instability which
16:45
Speaker 15: is there and the risks of escalation which are there.
16:50
Speaker 1: I mean, Steve, you'd presume the PM would have known
16:52
Speaker 1: through dfact that Dutton was making this trip. So perhaps
16:56
Speaker 1: that's where the comments are going to go over the
16:58
Speaker 1: next couple of days that Duton should be there.
17:02
Speaker 17: It really does give the opposition and Peter Dutton in
17:06
Speaker 17: particular more oxygen to describe Anthony Albanezi as a week leader.
17:10
Speaker 17: Now you've heard those two words shari on numerous occasions
17:15
Speaker 17: over the last couple of months. They keep prosecuting this
17:18
Speaker 17: case that the bloke in the lodge is not a
17:21
Speaker 17: strong decisive leader. So what Peter Dutton's trip does, of course,
17:25
Speaker 17: has put even more pressure on Anthony Albanesi in that regard.
17:28
Speaker 17: So and you can't underestimate either that that is a
17:32
Speaker 17: dangerous place at the moment. And Peter Dutton has decided
17:35
Speaker 17: to go on this very quick trip over three days.
17:38
Speaker 17: This whole Hesbilar issue could blow up while he's in
17:41
Speaker 17: the air or on the ground there in Israel, and
17:43
Speaker 17: it shows that he's prepared to actually go there and
17:47
Speaker 17: show an example of what Australia would be like under
17:51
Speaker 17: a Dutton government and the Dutton government's attitude to Israel.
17:54
Speaker 17: It shows a very big gap between the Albanezy government
17:58
Speaker 17: and what Peter Dutton would be like in power. And
18:00
Speaker 17: I think that's what the aim of the trip is
18:02
Speaker 17: as well.
18:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, indeed, Joe, let's turn to the weekends reshuffle,
18:07
Speaker 1: Sunday's reshuffle. Look, the Prime Minister has tried to say,
18:11
Speaker 1: oh no, there were no failings by Clara O'Neil. She's
18:14
Speaker 1: doing an excellent job.
18:15
Speaker 16: That's my birthday party, everybody, that's the prize.
18:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, this is ridiculous. No one believes the
18:21
Speaker 1: ministers were performing so well that they just had to
18:23
Speaker 1: be moved out of their portfol.
18:25
Speaker 16: Of course, no one believes it. But he has to
18:26
Speaker 16: say it doesn't he's the Prime minister. There is colleagues.
18:28
Speaker 16: He's saying the right thing. It's like when you know,
18:30
Speaker 16: you send out an email saying that you know, like
18:32
Speaker 16: Joe will be leaving us at the end of this
18:34
Speaker 16: month after fifteen years with the company. We wish him
18:36
Speaker 16: well in his future endeavors. He's been a wonderful employee.
18:39
Speaker 16: Of course, he's going to say that blind Freddie knows
18:41
Speaker 16: that's not the case. I don't think this reshuffle is
18:44
Speaker 16: the disaster that a lot of people seem to be
18:45
Speaker 16: paid to it as it seems very sensible to me.
18:47
Speaker 16: Sensible Tony, like Tony Burke, is a really really strong performer.
18:52
Speaker 16: People might not agree with his past decisions or his
18:54
Speaker 16: past positions, but he's a very strong performer. He's smart,
18:57
Speaker 16: he's a strong parliamentary performer. He'll be able to handle
19:01
Speaker 16: it very well. I think Andrew Giles, I think, is
19:03
Speaker 16: the real sort of I suppose culprit in the disaster
19:08
Speaker 16: over the immigrant detainees, and he's been absolutely shafted. He's
19:13
Speaker 16: been absolutely shell But it looks like a move sideways technically,
19:15
Speaker 16: so that's fine. Again, when was the last time you
19:18
Speaker 16: heard about the wonderful work Brendan O'Connor was doing in
19:20
Speaker 16: skills Never That's why no one's going to hear from
19:23
Speaker 16: Andrew Giles every again. Claire O'Neil, A bit like Bill
19:25
Speaker 16: Shorten being sent to ndis. You've got a portfolio that
19:28
Speaker 16: wasn't even in cabinet the last time laborer in government.
19:31
Speaker 16: It's now a really front of center, supercharged important portfolio,
19:35
Speaker 16: and what do you do. You get someone who's got
19:37
Speaker 16: a lot to prove, who maybe didn't have such a
19:39
Speaker 16: great run on the paddock last time round. You say, right,
19:43
Speaker 16: your reputation, your legacy depends on you fixing this crisis.
19:47
Speaker 16: That's what Shorten is doing right now with the NDAs.
19:49
Speaker 16: And that's why I reckon Claire.
19:50
Speaker 1: Given housing is so critical, Given it's part of the
19:54
Speaker 1: reason inflation is so Hi you think he would put Albaneze,
19:57
Speaker 1: He would put the absolute best minister in that Steve.
20:00
Speaker 1: I'm going to hear your take though, and what Joe
20:02
Speaker 1: just said, because I completely disagree with him that Tony
20:05
Speaker 1: Burke couldn't be better for Home affairs. I mean home
20:08
Speaker 1: affairs you need someone tough on national security, tough on immigration,
20:13
Speaker 1: someone who is strong on terrorism. I mean Tony Burke
20:18
Speaker 1: didn't call out the hate preachers after October seven.
20:21
Speaker 17: Immediately it was Joe out the back when you started
20:26
Speaker 17: the show today.
20:27
Speaker 16: He's been missing in action.
20:28
Speaker 17: I mean, he clearly didn't hear a word you said.
20:31
Speaker 17: If he thinks Tony Burke's going to do a great job,
20:33
Speaker 17: I mean Tony Burke has a seat which, as you
20:36
Speaker 17: point out, Chari is the center of radical Islam in
20:40
Speaker 17: Australia and he if he wants to retain the seat,
20:43
Speaker 17: has to keep the Muslim vote and that's what he
20:46
Speaker 17: is going to be doing. I mean, why would you
20:48
Speaker 17: put someone like that in charge of Home Affairs? I
20:50
Speaker 17: mean this whole O'Neil gilesing just makes me laugh. I
20:54
Speaker 17: mean I sometimes wonder whether the Prime ministraction listens to
20:58
Speaker 17: himself when he speaks. He was on Sky today with
21:01
Speaker 17: Kieran and he had a crack at Barnaby Joyce over
21:05
Speaker 17: those comments joycemade yesterday and he said, what does this
21:08
Speaker 17: bloke have to do to lose his job? Was he
21:12
Speaker 17: talking about Andrew Joles? Yeah'll give about clearonially exactly.
21:17
Speaker 1: Such a good point. I mean, the hypocrisy is truly breathtaking. Well,
21:22
Speaker 1: let's have a look at the reality of this cost
21:25
Speaker 1: of living crisis on the ground, and we read today
21:28
Speaker 1: that Australian hospitality businesses are going under sadly at record rates.
21:33
Speaker 1: This is new data from the Australian Securities and Investments
21:36
Speaker 1: and it shows the number of food service in solvencies,
21:40
Speaker 1: So restaurants and cafes insolvencies have jumped fifty percent to
21:45
Speaker 1: one thousand, six hundred and sixty seven. Joe. You know,
21:49
Speaker 1: this indicates that people can't afford to eat, to dine
21:54
Speaker 1: out so much.
21:55
Speaker 16: It is terrible and it's awful to say any business
21:58
Speaker 16: go under, especially small business there. However, the brutal reality
22:02
Speaker 16: is this is what the Reserve Bank wants Australians to do.
22:05
Speaker 16: It wants us to cut spending and this is why
22:08
Speaker 16: these businesses are going under because customers are no longer
22:10
Speaker 16: spending their cutting back on anything because there is a
22:13
Speaker 16: cost of living crisis. And believe me, I know, but
22:16
Speaker 16: they are not spending on anything they don't absolutely have to.
22:19
Speaker 16: So if there is a light at the end of
22:21
Speaker 16: this tunnel, a silver lining to this cloud, it is
22:24
Speaker 16: that this will hopefully put less pressure on the RBA
22:28
Speaker 16: to raise interest rates next month.
22:30
Speaker 1: For a very fine line though, between lowering inflation and
22:34
Speaker 1: not plunging.
22:35
Speaker 16: This This is the problem. It's a really session and.
22:37
Speaker 1: The place where is the RBA on that? Are you
22:40
Speaker 1: worried about that?
22:41
Speaker 5: Steve?
22:43
Speaker 8: Yeah?
22:44
Speaker 17: Look, I know a number of people who run businesses
22:46
Speaker 17: that have chains of restaurants, and you know they are
22:51
Speaker 17: very successful. But guess what can't afford to open on
22:54
Speaker 17: a Sunday, can't afford to play the penalty rates in Victoria,
22:57
Speaker 17: you've got increases in land taxes, every price of everything
23:00
Speaker 17: they sell has gone up, and of course the changes
23:03
Speaker 17: to the industrial relations system boarding by this government mean
23:06
Speaker 17: they've got to pay staff so much more money. We
23:09
Speaker 17: are in the middle of a recession. Walk down any
23:11
Speaker 17: of the main eat streets in Australia and you know,
23:14
Speaker 17: I know Melbourne better than I know Brisbane, but I've
23:16
Speaker 17: seen it in Sydney. The number of two let signs
23:19
Speaker 17: in places like Chapel Street are unbelievable and people can't
23:22
Speaker 17: afford to go out, and so they're not going out
23:24
Speaker 17: and having smashed avocado on toast, although we do still
23:28
Speaker 17: see cafes that are full of people and Joe's probably
23:31
Speaker 17: an avocado man, and absolutely, I mean most of us
23:35
Speaker 17: can't afford to go out and do that anymore.
23:37
Speaker 16: Yeah, strictly vegiemite and a flat white and that's it.
23:40
Speaker 16: Even a lart I reckonised you wouldn't pay.
23:42
Speaker 1: No one would pay for vegimine and toasted a cafe
23:45
Speaker 1: you mailed.
23:45
Speaker 16: That and do it at high not leave the house,
23:49
Speaker 16: not pay.
23:49
Speaker 1: For Vegmink and everyone else has show on Sky News.
23:53
Speaker 1: All right, Steve Price, great to see you and Joe
23:56
Speaker 1: think you coming up after the break. The Middle East
24:00
Speaker 1: on the brink of all out war as Israel prepares
24:02
Speaker 1: to respond to Hesbela's deadly attack on children. Politician in
24:07
Speaker 1: Israel Sharon Haskell will join me Life plus the alarming
24:10
Speaker 1: report that reveals a disinformation campaign aimed at the Paris Olympics,
24:20
Speaker 1: with the Middle East is on the brink of all
24:22
Speaker 1: out war after twelve children were killed when Hesbelah hit
24:26
Speaker 1: Israel's Golan Heights on the weekend. Israel and the United
24:30
Speaker 1: States both say Hesbelah is responsible for the attack in
24:33
Speaker 1: the druzetown of Majdal Chams, but the terror group has
24:37
Speaker 1: denied responsibility. The IDF has confirmed it will prepare a
24:41
Speaker 1: response against Hesbelah. Well, let's bring it now, Israeli politician
24:46
Speaker 1: Sharon Haskell. Sharon, you're joining us. You're in a car
24:50
Speaker 1: en route to where the attack happened in Israel's north.
24:54
Speaker 1: The situation on the ground looks volatile. Flights are being canceled.
24:58
Speaker 1: I understand and correct me if I'm wrong. There are
25:00
Speaker 1: around one hundred thousand Israelis who've been displaced from the
25:03
Speaker 1: north Drew's parents are burying their children. What can we
25:08
Speaker 1: expect now from Israel's response to Hesbelah and how soon?
25:15
Speaker 7: Well is what I had crossed the red line and
25:18
Speaker 7: you're right.
25:19
Speaker 5: I'm coming back now from the town of mach Delchams
25:22
Speaker 5: here in Israel and the Golden.
25:24
Speaker 7: Heights, and it's heartbreaking.
25:27
Speaker 5: There are twelve families, the entire Drew's community whose morning
25:33
Speaker 5: into Israel entirely.
25:35
Speaker 7: I don't think that a massacre like that of twelve children.
25:40
Speaker 5: Has left one dry eye year in Israel. Our hearts
25:43
Speaker 5: are completely shattered and broken. These are little babies. These
25:47
Speaker 5: are little children who went to play soccer, They wanted
25:51
Speaker 5: to play sport, they were competing there and their parents
25:55
Speaker 5: are absolutely broken.
25:57
Speaker 7: The entire community is broken.
26:02
Speaker 5: It's difficult to be in this area during this point
26:05
Speaker 5: of time because we know that this is the quiet.
26:08
Speaker 7: Before the storm.
26:10
Speaker 5: Crossing such a red line targeting massacrering children, there's gonna
26:15
Speaker 5: be a fierce response.
26:18
Speaker 1: We have to.
26:18
Speaker 5: Make sure that Chris ballad that back by Iran. These
26:22
Speaker 5: are by Iran's order. The IRGC ordered that, and we
26:27
Speaker 5: need to make sure that this line will never be
26:29
Speaker 5: crossed again, and for that we need to bring back
26:33
Speaker 5: to the turrent into our borders. Every single day there
26:37
Speaker 5: are dozens of attacks with drones, with missiles, killing people,
26:43
Speaker 5: destrowing homes, destroying lands. And if we want to be
26:48
Speaker 5: able to bring back the Israeli refugees into their homes,
26:52
Speaker 5: we have to make sure that Chris Balla understand that
26:55
Speaker 5: there's a price for attacking like that, and definitely for
27:00
Speaker 5: murdering children in such a horrific way.
27:05
Speaker 1: Look, everyone's on edge in Israel at the moment. There
27:09
Speaker 1: are concerns that the wider areas of Israel as well
27:13
Speaker 1: could now come under attack from Hesbela, as you say,
27:17
Speaker 1: funded by Iran, not just the north. Is this what
27:21
Speaker 1: you're expecting that there is going to be a larger
27:24
Speaker 1: scale conflict now with Hesbelah.
27:29
Speaker 5: Well, it really depends on there. I mean for nine
27:34
Speaker 5: months now, but nine months we've been withholding our troops
27:39
Speaker 5: from the defending the northern border.
27:41
Speaker 7: From defending our community in our homes.
27:45
Speaker 5: And so if Chris Blah will decide to continue to
27:49
Speaker 5: attack on a daily basis a sovereign state, obviously, I
27:53
Speaker 5: don't think there's going to be another solution than a
27:56
Speaker 5: full on confrontation. We're given the international community now more
28:00
Speaker 5: than nine months to try and negotiate peacefully, you know,
28:06
Speaker 5: some diplomatic resolution. But Chris Blah and especially in Iran,
28:11
Speaker 5: doesn't understand that. They don't understand the diplomatic way. They
28:15
Speaker 5: don't understand diplomatic solution, and they don't keep up to
28:19
Speaker 5: their word all these agreements. I mean, we have an agreement,
28:23
Speaker 5: there's a United Nations resolution.
28:25
Speaker 7: About Chris Ballad. They broke that.
28:28
Speaker 5: They're attacking Israel on a daily basis. They're murdering our citizens,
28:32
Speaker 5: they're murdering children. So of course, by the look of things,
28:36
Speaker 5: it will become a full confrontation. And Chris Ballah needs
28:40
Speaker 5: to understand. Look, Israel does not want to turn their
28:44
Speaker 5: route into Jubailah, Jabelia or a Fiah. Okay, we don't
28:49
Speaker 5: want that. We've given the international community nine months to
28:52
Speaker 5: come to a diplomatic solution, so you cannot.
28:55
Speaker 1: But is that what you're saying is going to happen?
28:58
Speaker 1: Are you saying that is going to be an attack
29:00
Speaker 1: on Beirut?
29:02
Speaker 5: I don't say this. Is I say that Israel for
29:06
Speaker 5: nine months has been we hould withholding it and we
29:09
Speaker 5: all want to see the same site. That's why we've
29:13
Speaker 5: given them nine months for a diplomatic solution, but obviously
29:17
Speaker 5: it doesn't come to this point. So at this point,
29:20
Speaker 5: as Israeli, we do not see any other solution and
29:23
Speaker 5: a full confrontation and to make sure that we are
29:27
Speaker 5: able to defend on northern border.
29:31
Speaker 1: All right, and that is going to be an extremely
29:34
Speaker 1: tough period, heavy loss of life, no doubt on both sides. Sharon,
29:38
Speaker 1: really appreciate your time tonight. Thank you very much. That's
29:42
Speaker 1: Sharon Haskell, an Israeli politician. Well, let's move to the
29:46
Speaker 1: Paris Olympics now, and we have an exclusive report we
29:49
Speaker 1: can bring you where it's been revealed that Russia is
29:52
Speaker 1: using the Paris Olympics as a way to launch a
29:55
Speaker 1: major disinformation campaign, with pro Russian aibots creating fake videos
30:01
Speaker 1: designed to destabilize the games. In one example that you've
30:05
Speaker 1: probably heard of, a video is spread on social media
30:08
Speaker 1: pretending to be from Hamas inciting violence at the Olympics.
30:13
Speaker 1: Then there was also a deep fake documentary that had
30:16
Speaker 1: Tom Cruise, not the real Tom Cruise, criticizing Olympic officials. Well,
30:21
Speaker 1: let's bring in now cybersecurity expert Internet two point oh
30:24
Speaker 1: co founder David Robinson to explain. David, thanks for joining us.
30:28
Speaker 1: What is your work delving into who's been behind these
30:33
Speaker 1: fake videos? What is it uncovered?
30:36
Speaker 18: Good evening, Sherry. Basically, it looks like Russia is launching
30:41
Speaker 18: strategic disinformation campaign against the Olympics, against Paris from our view,
30:50
Speaker 18: basically on multiple fronts, through multiple mediums, there are videos
30:57
Speaker 18: pretending to be Hamas making direct threats in a violent
31:01
Speaker 18: way against the IOC in Paris twenty twenty four. They're
31:05
Speaker 18: also you know, pretending to be from different areas in
31:09
Speaker 18: that rift. But in the end, there's an open wound
31:13
Speaker 18: here in France and that's the history of terrorism and
31:17
Speaker 18: the social cohesion issue that has been going on with
31:21
Speaker 18: the election. So Russia is trying to divide the French
31:24
Speaker 18: and exploit that rift in society. So you attacking the
31:28
Speaker 18: IOC but also being very divisive in their campaign.
31:33
Speaker 1: I mean, that's something I think a lot of people
31:34
Speaker 1: don't realize. We know, there's a lot of inflammatory content
31:38
Speaker 1: on social media, particularly on TikTok, which is where a
31:42
Speaker 1: lot of the younger generation are, but it's not well
31:45
Speaker 1: known that often state actors like Russia are behind this,
31:50
Speaker 1: so are putting forward disinformation even to drive an erosion
31:55
Speaker 1: of social cohesion in the West. What do you think
31:58
Speaker 1: that aim is here, specifically in targeting the Olympics.
32:04
Speaker 18: Russia is the only country that normally comes to the
32:08
Speaker 18: Olympics that has had a torrid history of being banned
32:10
Speaker 18: from the Olympics. Obviously, the doping scandal, the war in
32:13
Speaker 18: Ukraine basically means that Russia's banned from the Paris twenty
32:17
Speaker 18: twenty four Olympics after their doping band was removed. So
32:21
Speaker 18: Putin takes significant value in national sporting competitions, both in
32:27
Speaker 18: football and Olympic sport. And so there's a great history
32:32
Speaker 18: here between Putin's Russia and the Olympics disrupting them. You know,
32:37
Speaker 18: they invaded Georgia in two thousand and eight, they launched
32:40
Speaker 18: a massive cyber attack in twenty eighteen against North Sorry,
32:44
Speaker 18: that South Korean Winter Olympics. So it's a huge personal
32:49
Speaker 18: insult Putin representing Russia in his mind, in his perception
32:54
Speaker 18: that he's not allowed to come.
32:56
Speaker 1: David, the report that you've given us for this show tonight,
32:59
Speaker 1: it shows the IOC twenty twenty four apps. So the
33:02
Speaker 1: official Olympic app actually allows TikTok tracking cookies, so anyone
33:09
Speaker 1: who downloads the app could potentially be tracked by TikTok.
33:14
Speaker 1: Is that accurate and why would this be happening?
33:19
Speaker 18: Yeah, Cherry, we've released that in the last twenty four hours,
33:22
Speaker 18: so it's probably Australian exclusive on TV. We've done a
33:25
Speaker 18: lot of analysis on the IOC IOC's twenty twenty four
33:29
Speaker 18: paras app in the last week and they embed a
33:33
Speaker 18: lot of third parties into the app, and notably you know,
33:37
Speaker 18: for Australian government officials, US government officials, TikTok their JavaScript
33:42
Speaker 18: basically is embedded through the app and their website. So
33:45
Speaker 18: as soon as you go to check your metal tally
33:48
Speaker 18: or download the app, TikTok is getting browser activity and
33:53
Speaker 18: all the activity you do on that domain, and so
33:56
Speaker 18: you can you can stop it, but you have to
33:59
Speaker 18: go into the curity settings and hit reject or if
34:01
Speaker 18: you don't, TikTok we'll get that information.
34:04
Speaker 1: Unbelievable. Not many people of course would know to do that.
34:07
Speaker 1: All right, Dave, thank you so much for your time,
34:09
Speaker 1: and just to explain who Dave is He was a
34:11
Speaker 1: former intelligence officer in Australia and now he's a cybersecurity
34:15
Speaker 1: expert with his firm that he co founded, Internet two
34:18
Speaker 1: point zero, and their work is responsible for a lot
34:21
Speaker 1: of the revelations on TikTok that have led to change
34:24
Speaker 1: in the United States Congress. Well, coming up after the break,
34:28
Speaker 1: We've still got a lot to look at. Albanizi is
34:31
Speaker 1: fast losing the trust of voters. Yet another damaging poll
34:35
Speaker 1: plus a labor inside it slams Alban Ezey's move to
34:38
Speaker 1: promote Tony Burke. Cameron Milner will join me next. All right,
34:46
Speaker 1: welcome back. Well, in a minute, I'm going to show
34:48
Speaker 1: you the first pictures of Peter Dutton live on the
34:51
Speaker 1: ground in Israel. This is exclusive to us to the
34:55
Speaker 1: Shari program. You can see there Peter Dutton in a
34:58
Speaker 1: bilateral meeting with his Israeli officials. This is Peter Dutton
35:02
Speaker 1: with Israel's Foreign Minister, Israel Cats. These pictures have just
35:06
Speaker 1: come in to us. This is a highly significant meeting.
35:10
Speaker 1: Later today Israel time, Peter Dutton will meet with Israeli
35:13
Speaker 1: President Isaac Hertzog in a strong show of support from
35:17
Speaker 1: the coalition towards our closest ally in the Middle East,
35:21
Speaker 1: and this follows the Albanesi government's track record of increasing
35:26
Speaker 1: hostility and criticism towards Israel, despite our strong history of
35:31
Speaker 1: intelligence sharing agreements, our strong friendship. Albert Ezi has not
35:36
Speaker 1: visited it Israel since October seven. Most other world leaders
35:40
Speaker 1: took a trip there in a show of solidarity, Albinizi
35:43
Speaker 1: did not. When Penny Wong eventually went, she failed to
35:47
Speaker 1: visit the sites of the terrorist massacre in the South.
35:50
Speaker 1: She didn't visit the Nova festival either, where one thy
35:53
Speaker 1: two hundred young people were killed in cold blood, gunned down.
35:58
Speaker 1: We've had survivors on this show. But Peter Dutton has
36:02
Speaker 1: traveled there. He is there. He flew in tonight and
36:05
Speaker 1: he went straight to a meeting with Israel's Foreign Minister
36:09
Speaker 1: Israel Cats. So very significant meeting, very impressive. It's going
36:13
Speaker 1: to send a strong message by Peter Dutton to the
36:16
Speaker 1: Jewish community and it comes after just how vocal he's
36:19
Speaker 1: been on the issue of anti Semitism. Well, let's bring
36:22
Speaker 1: in now Labor powerbroker Cameron Milner and former Labor MP
36:27
Speaker 1: Michael Danby. Welcome to you both, We're going to get
36:30
Speaker 1: to Tony Burke in a minute, but Cameron, I just
36:33
Speaker 1: want to get your reaction to this breaking news tonight.
36:36
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you think it highlights Albaneze's failure
36:40
Speaker 1: on this issue?
36:43
Speaker 19: Absolutely, chari and Peter Dutton once again is showing Australians
36:46
Speaker 19: what leadership really looks like. He's actually doing the things
36:49
Speaker 19: for Australia on the international stage, not going on some
36:52
Speaker 19: kntique tour on TOTO one and having Champagne in the
36:54
Speaker 19: White House, doing real international relations. And so Peter Dutton
36:57
Speaker 19: yet again is showing the Prime Minister what primises should
37:00
Speaker 19: be doing and isn't. And that's an indictment on Albow.
37:04
Speaker 1: I think I need to remind viewers Cameron that you
37:05
Speaker 1: are Bill Shotton's former chief of staff. You are a
37:08
Speaker 1: senior labor figure. You know this isn't a conservative person
37:12
Speaker 1: criticizing Albin Easy here, Michael Danby, long term federal labor MP. Michael,
37:19
Speaker 1: what's your take on Darton's visit here?
37:22
Speaker 20: Well, Elbow should have gone there. Even his fashionist to
37:25
Speaker 20: mate with whom he issues press releases now pontificating about
37:29
Speaker 20: the Middle East. Justin Trudeau has been how can you comment,
37:34
Speaker 20: how can you have these poor Israeli ambassador I, me
37:36
Speaker 20: and my Moon called in to discuss Hezbollah and her muscle,
37:41
Speaker 20: all this kind of stuff if you haven't seen the
37:44
Speaker 20: facts on the ground, if you haven't been there and
37:46
Speaker 20: you haven't spoken to people, negligent, Just like Foreign Minister
37:51
Speaker 20: Wong with Ukraine. I was there in March in Ukraine,
37:55
Speaker 20: took a train to Kiev. Come on, penny, you can't
37:58
Speaker 20: be giving Australian tax fares money there without going there.
38:03
Speaker 20: Out of failure war, no Embassy of Australia still then,
38:07
Speaker 20: just replicated time after time. But the amen corner of
38:10
Speaker 20: the press gallery in Canberra lets them both off.
38:13
Speaker 1: Indeed they do a Cameron Tony Burke promoted to Home
38:17
Speaker 1: Affairs Minister. It's a kind of unbelievable. What are your
38:20
Speaker 1: concerns about him taking on this job?
38:24
Speaker 19: Well, the whole reshuffle is like shuffling the deck chairs
38:27
Speaker 19: on the Titanic. I mean it's not exactly a big change,
38:30
Speaker 19: but the worst possible change is Tony Burke into the
38:32
Speaker 19: two portfolios. He's taken utterly compromised. His own electorate is
38:36
Speaker 19: the epicenter of is Islamic extremism in Australia, the epicenter
38:40
Speaker 19: of hate preachers, and yet as the local member he's
38:42
Speaker 19: waved it all through.
38:43
Speaker 17: So Goodness knows what.
38:44
Speaker 19: He does as our Home Affairs minister when our national
38:46
Speaker 19: security is at stake. Goodness knows when he's got the
38:49
Speaker 19: demand for Palestinian refugees in vert commas to come out
38:53
Speaker 19: after the conflict, who will no doubt be flooded with
38:55
Speaker 19: hamas and other g hardy operatives and it'll wave them
38:58
Speaker 19: through As a weak immigration minister. No, Tony Berg is
39:01
Speaker 19: utterly compromised because his own personal endev and try to
39:04
Speaker 19: hold on the seat of Watson against the Muslim vote
39:07
Speaker 19: will compromise every single decision he makes. Can be making
39:10
Speaker 19: decisions on his own interests no longer than national Indrists
39:13
Speaker 19: and Albow should have known better.
39:16
Speaker 1: No, very good points, very strong comments. Now you'd think
39:19
Speaker 1: the Albanezer government would be focusing almost solely on the
39:22
Speaker 1: cost of living at the moment, but absurdly, given they
39:26
Speaker 1: can't even solve the housing crisis, they think they can
39:29
Speaker 1: fix the problems in the Middle East. And we saw
39:32
Speaker 1: the Labor State conference over the weekend in New South
39:34
Speaker 1: Wales and there was a big push, Michael Danby for
39:37
Speaker 1: Palestinian statehood, even while her Mass currently remains as the
39:42
Speaker 1: governing body. There was some sense from none other than
39:46
Speaker 1: Daniel Andrew's former Victorian premier, and he wanted against recognition
39:51
Speaker 1: of a Palestinian state.
39:52
Speaker 21: Now.
39:53
Speaker 1: Daniel Andrews said, and I quote her mask on not
39:55
Speaker 1: about peace, hermuss on not about anything other than the
39:58
Speaker 1: eradication of the Jewish state. Federal Communications Minister Michelle Roland
40:03
Speaker 1: also dismissed concerns over the Muslim vote campaign. She's said,
40:07
Speaker 1: Michael that Labour shouldn't be basing its position on the
40:10
Speaker 1: war it's foreign policy on pro Palestinian voting intentions. Michael,
40:16
Speaker 1: how much do you miss Daniel Andrews at the moment?
40:20
Speaker 20: Well, I actually saw his speech. It's ironic that the
40:23
Speaker 20: former socialist left premier of Victoria is more towards the
40:26
Speaker 20: political center on these issues, on national security issues than
40:31
Speaker 20: the New South Wales right. Tony Burke, Chris Bowen ed
40:36
Speaker 20: Hughesick are all responsible for the total intellectual collapse of
40:40
Speaker 20: social democracy in Australia. This is not the labor of
40:44
Speaker 20: Kim Beasley, Bob Hawke, even Paul Keating or Kevin Rudd.
40:48
Speaker 20: And it's not just on this Middle East issue, but
40:51
Speaker 20: it's on the environment, cost of living, all of these
40:54
Speaker 20: kinds of issues, giving the unions too much power while
40:59
Speaker 20: he was a minister for Union Afares, Tony Burke. It's
41:03
Speaker 20: all a mistake, you know. It's not what Bob Hawk
41:07
Speaker 20: would have done, not what Kim Beasley would have done.
41:10
Speaker 20: It's a different Labor.
41:11
Speaker 1: Party, Cameron. We've got this new Redbridge pole in the
41:16
Speaker 1: papers over the past couple of days showing that the
41:19
Speaker 1: Labor government is struggling to hold on to public confidence.
41:23
Speaker 1: Voters are now turning to the opposition. In the two
41:26
Speaker 1: party preferred survey, Coalition is leading fifty one point five
41:30
Speaker 1: percent to Labour's forty eight point five percent. So again
41:34
Speaker 1: this shows Cameron that perhaps Albanzi doesn't have the instincts
41:39
Speaker 1: in the right place. He needs to be doing more
41:41
Speaker 1: on the issues that are affecting everyday families who are struggling.
41:46
Speaker 19: Absolutely, and thank goodness, Jim Chalmers is trying as hard
41:49
Speaker 19: as he possibly can as Treasurer on the cost of
41:51
Speaker 19: living issue. But no, this poll is part of a trend,
41:54
Speaker 19: a huge trend, and it's a trend away from Albanese
41:57
Speaker 19: Labour's primary is plummeting and Peter Duttley's rebuild the conservative
42:00
Speaker 19: or liberal primary nationwide because he's talking about cost of living,
42:04
Speaker 19: because he's talking about issues at matter around the kitchen table,
42:07
Speaker 19: not virtue signally on Gaza, actually putting downward pressure on
42:11
Speaker 19: gas prices. No, so seriously, Charlie, We've been talking about.
42:14
Speaker 16: This on the program for a while now.
42:15
Speaker 19: Albert has a huge problem and the longer it goes,
42:18
Speaker 19: the worst it'll get.
42:20
Speaker 1: Yeah. Indeed, all right, Cameron Milner, Michael Danby, thank you
42:23
Speaker 1: both very much for your time and thoughts tonight. Now
42:26
Speaker 1: still to come the race to the White House titans
42:29
Speaker 1: as new polling shows VP Kamala Harris gaining ground on
42:33
Speaker 1: Trump Plus. And this is an outrageous story. Google stands
42:37
Speaker 1: accused of censoring the assassination attempt of Donald Trump. This
42:42
Speaker 1: is a big story and I'll bring it to you next.
42:47
Speaker 1: Welcome back. Well, let's turn to the United States now,
42:50
Speaker 1: where Vice President Kamala Harris is calling background lost by
42:54
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. There's a new Wall Street Jonal poll and
42:57
Speaker 1: it shows a likely Democratic nominee is sitting forty seven
43:00
Speaker 1: percent to Donald Trump's forty nine percent in a two
43:04
Speaker 1: person matchup. Harris is also fundraising extremely well, picking up
43:09
Speaker 1: a reported eighty one million dollars in one day. This
43:12
Speaker 1: is apparently the record for twenty three hours. That's bringing
43:16
Speaker 1: now Sky News contributor Kosher Gada Koshark great to see
43:20
Speaker 1: you look in the space of just a week, it
43:22
Speaker 1: looks like the Democrats is back up and running for sure.
43:28
Speaker 21: I think, you know, this race has clearly even reset Shari.
43:31
Speaker 21: And what's even more remarkable is what would normally be
43:34
Speaker 21: developed over an eighteen month time span, that's the typical
43:37
Speaker 21: time span of a presidential campaign, all of that has
43:40
Speaker 21: been compressed into one hundred days, one hundred days away
43:43
Speaker 21: from election day, and so you're going to see this
43:45
Speaker 21: kind of tightening and everything else happened at an accelerated space.
43:48
Speaker 1: Peace It is expected.
43:50
Speaker 21: There's sort of, you know, a honeymoon period for somebody
43:52
Speaker 21: who's by a large still a blank canvas to a
43:54
Speaker 21: lot of people, and they're working very hard over the
43:57
Speaker 21: next four weeks both parties to frame her and define her.
44:00
Speaker 21: But I think a lot of pent up demand that
44:03
Speaker 21: had been put to the side of disillusioned voters in
44:05
Speaker 21: the week of Biden and that disaster's debate, all of
44:08
Speaker 21: that is coming back out and being released. It's sort
44:10
Speaker 21: of like a relief rally, and I think many people
44:12
Speaker 21: expect that it's going to continue in August and that
44:15
Speaker 21: at that point we go back to the fundamentals of
44:17
Speaker 21: the race, and I think those last sixty seventy days
44:20
Speaker 21: is kind of going to basically shake out in terms
44:22
Speaker 21: of the final result.
44:22
Speaker 1: Here, look, let's turn to this story. I think this
44:25
Speaker 1: is incredible. Google, as in the search engine is censoring
44:29
Speaker 1: results for the assassination attempt of Donald Trump, and instead
44:33
Speaker 1: we're seeing that Google is suggesting recommended search results for
44:37
Speaker 1: Donald Reagan, Hitler, Bob Marley, anything you can think of,
44:42
Speaker 1: but not Donald Trump. I actually tested this out today
44:45
Speaker 1: and anyone at home can do it as well. Go
44:46
Speaker 1: to Google, type in attempted assassination on and even when
44:53
Speaker 1: you start writing Dnald Donald Trump does not come up. Kosher.
44:58
Speaker 1: I think this is a for the role of big
45:01
Speaker 1: tech in the upcoming US.
45:03
Speaker 21: Election one hundred percent. I tested out as well, and
45:08
Speaker 21: you know it doesn't even stop with Google. I also
45:10
Speaker 21: tried it in chat GPT and it comes out and
45:12
Speaker 21: says that there are no credible reports from credible sources
45:15
Speaker 21: that he in fact was had an attempt at assassination.
45:18
Speaker 1: That's outrageous.
45:20
Speaker 21: I think, you know, it really brings to point this
45:22
Speaker 21: issue with big tech where Google is eighty five percent
45:25
Speaker 21: of the search industry and Being is the other fifteen percent.
45:28
Speaker 21: There By the way it works, they're not doing this.
45:30
Speaker 21: So you've got so much power in this one company
45:33
Speaker 21: that has so much a market power as well as
45:35
Speaker 21: information control power. You layer on AI with the chat
45:38
Speaker 21: GPT example, it's only going to get worse. But for
45:40
Speaker 21: a few flashpoints. You've got X, you've got some media outlets,
45:43
Speaker 21: you've got independent media that's sort of making this known.
45:47
Speaker 21: But it is really really ominous, and it's just another
45:50
Speaker 21: version of what we saw in the last election with
45:51
Speaker 21: the Hunter Biden laptop suppression or this suppression, and you're
45:55
Speaker 21: seeing it in real time, and unfortunately a lot of
45:58
Speaker 21: people who get their news from just these platforms and
46:00
Speaker 21: aren't as literate about going out and finding other resources
46:03
Speaker 21: will be unfortunately their opinions are shaped or you know,
46:06
Speaker 21: erasure is happening right before our eyes.
46:08
Speaker 1: I mean, it's interesting that the left is so worried
46:10
Speaker 1: about disinformation, you know, as we all are, but the
46:13
Speaker 1: Left makes it a campaign platform. You know, They've tried
46:16
Speaker 1: to have disinformation and commissioners, and yet on chat GPT
46:21
Speaker 1: no credible information that there was an assassination attempt on
46:24
Speaker 1: Donna Tumpa. It's just unbelievable. Now, let's turn to Trump's
46:29
Speaker 1: running mate JD. Vance. He's doubling down after footage emerged
46:33
Speaker 1: of him making these comments.
46:35
Speaker 11: Have a look, we're effectively run in this country via
46:39
Speaker 11: the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of
46:43
Speaker 11: childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives
46:45
Speaker 11: and the choices that they've made, and so they want
46:47
Speaker 11: to make the rest of the country miserable too.
46:50
Speaker 1: Tucker nodding along, by the way childless cat ladies.
46:54
Speaker 20: Well.
46:54
Speaker 1: In an interview on another form of Fox host at
46:56
Speaker 1: the Megan Kelly Show, Vance said it was a sarcastic common.
47:01
Speaker 22: It's not the criticism of people who don't have children.
47:04
Speaker 22: I explicitly said in my remarks, despite the fact that
47:07
Speaker 22: media has lied about this, that this is not about
47:09
Speaker 22: criticizing people who, for various reasons, didn't have kids. This
47:13
Speaker 22: is about criticizing the Democratic Party for becoming anti family
47:16
Speaker 22: an anti child.
47:18
Speaker 1: Look, many people will be offended. It is difficult to
47:21
Speaker 1: have children, a lot of fertility issues, So Kosha, this
47:24
Speaker 1: is damaging him. We've seen major celebrities like Jennifer Aniston
47:28
Speaker 1: attack him for the comments.
47:32
Speaker 21: Yes, and he has stepped into the lions den here,
47:34
Speaker 21: So any word he has ever spoken or written, they're
47:36
Speaker 21: going to call him through that. And this was an
47:39
Speaker 21: unforced error in terms of the style with which he
47:42
Speaker 21: phrased that and the words that he chose as he's
47:44
Speaker 21: doing the clean up right now with Megan Kelly and others.
47:46
Speaker 21: Though I think his broader point that he's sticking by
47:48
Speaker 21: is it's about what kind of society do we have
47:50
Speaker 21: and are we pro family or anti family as a
47:53
Speaker 21: broader point, But I think I would come back to
47:55
Speaker 21: what we talked about at the top, where this race
47:57
Speaker 21: is going to be very very close, and it's going
47:59
Speaker 21: to be one lost on ultimately the base turning out
48:02
Speaker 21: for both sides. And if you look at what his
48:05
Speaker 21: answer is now and in terms of how he's trying
48:07
Speaker 21: to correct that or modulate it through that lens, it
48:10
Speaker 21: explains that he's going to not worry about the Jennifer
48:12
Speaker 21: Aniston's or even like some of the moderate votes might
48:15
Speaker 21: be gettable as much as he's worried about getting those
48:18
Speaker 21: low propensity voters that are already open to and supportive
48:22
Speaker 21: of his policy and President Trump's policy. And I don't
48:24
Speaker 21: think these comments are going to swear them. So that's
48:25
Speaker 21: why he's going to double down on that position.
48:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Kosha Ghana, thank you so much for
48:30
Speaker 1: your time. And yeah, I think the likes of Jennifer
48:32
Speaker 1: Aniston and Taylor Swift aren't going to change too many votes.
48:35
Speaker 1: People know what they think of Donald Trump. Now that's
48:37
Speaker 1: it for me. I'll see you at eight o'clock tomorrow evening.
48:40
Speaker 1: And right now, here's Paul Murray
