Speaker 1: Line from the skying New Center.
0:03
Speaker 2: This is the Kenny Report.
0:06
Speaker 3: Welcome to the Kenny Report, coming to you tonight live
0:09
Speaker 3: from Washington, d C. With a Cram show for you,
0:13
Speaker 3: full of the two biggest stories in the world at
0:15
Speaker 3: the moment, the Middle East ceasefire and the release of
0:17
Speaker 3: the Israeli hostages, and of course the presidential inauguration, which
0:22
Speaker 3: is less.
0:22
Speaker 4: Than twelve hours away here in d C.
0:25
Speaker 3: Now, it's freezing in Washington at the moment minus four
0:28
Speaker 3: as I speak to.
0:29
Speaker 4: You with the thermometer.
0:31
Speaker 3: The mercury plummeting as we go, will be minus ten tomorrow,
0:34
Speaker 3: which of course is why that presidential inauguration ceremony has
0:38
Speaker 3: been shunted indoors changing everything in DC. But no matter
0:43
Speaker 3: how cold it is here, Donald Trump is hot, hot, hot,
0:47
Speaker 3: and he says he's only warming up. He had a
0:50
Speaker 3: victory rally in the Capital One Arena in the right
0:53
Speaker 3: in the middle of DC today, right in the middle
0:56
Speaker 3: of the nation's capital, and Donald Trump, as is his way,
0:59
Speaker 3: he talked about had all the serious issues, missile defense,
1:02
Speaker 3: global trade, curtailing China, getting back the American economy. He
1:07
Speaker 3: was also talking about TikTok and other issues.
1:11
Speaker 4: Here's a little bit of Donald Trump today.
1:14
Speaker 1: Once and for all.
1:15
Speaker 4: We're going to end the reign of a failed.
1:19
Speaker 5: And corrupt political establishment in Washington, a failed administration. We're
1:26
Speaker 5: not going to take it anymore.
1:32
Speaker 3: He's talking up a lot of political change there is,
1:35
Speaker 3: Donald Trump, but there's also a lot of fear. Some
1:38
Speaker 3: would say circus the village people. Yeah, you heard right,
1:43
Speaker 3: the village people. And this time he had them on stage.
1:49
Speaker 3: It's fine to see it, understand, just extraordinary stuff. So
2:04
Speaker 3: much fun with Donald Trump. There's always fun. But the
2:06
Speaker 3: serious business here is a political revolution now. There are
2:10
Speaker 3: plenty of people on the right of politics, on the
2:13
Speaker 3: conservative side of politics. Some are called the alt right,
2:16
Speaker 3: some are called the hard right. Some just say they're
2:18
Speaker 3: the right, the conservative mainstream, and they are celebrating the
2:22
Speaker 3: victory of Donald Trump. They reckon this is going to
2:24
Speaker 3: revolutionize politics in the United States and globally.
2:28
Speaker 4: I caught up with a whole bunch of them today.
2:30
Speaker 3: I went to their events near the Capitol in Washington,
2:34
Speaker 3: and when we arrived there, they said they're coming even
2:37
Speaker 3: for the Chinese Communist Party.
2:42
Speaker 1: Gretations from Brazil. We also have the alternative to.
2:46
Speaker 6: The Chinese comminges bored the new federal state of.
2:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, the coming for the CCP next. Now you might
3:02
Speaker 3: have recognized that blog. Yes, it was Steve Bannon. He
3:05
Speaker 3: was Donald Trump's former chief political strategist. He was the
3:08
Speaker 3: man who really helped Donald Trump get into the White
3:11
Speaker 3: House the first time around. In twenty sixteen, he ended
3:14
Speaker 3: up being one of the many senior.
3:16
Speaker 4: Advisors who got tossed out of the White House.
3:19
Speaker 3: He went through criminal trials and served a served a
3:22
Speaker 3: jail term over congressional hearings after that, but he is
3:26
Speaker 3: now back leading this conservative movement. He sees incredible changes
3:32
Speaker 3: coming in the US, around and around the world. And
3:34
Speaker 3: I managed to get a word with him after that
3:36
Speaker 3: event and what.
3:38
Speaker 1: He's got to Some of his toughest warriors, the most
3:41
Speaker 1: combat hardened, are on the outsider. We're all ready to go.
3:44
Speaker 1: We're ready to go, particularly for tomorrow. I would tell
3:46
Speaker 1: your audience you're about to see in twenty twenty five
3:49
Speaker 1: a year in American politics and international politics, liberal politics
3:54
Speaker 1: that has never been seen in modern times. So just
3:56
Speaker 1: stand by strap.
3:57
Speaker 4: In ordinary comments.
4:00
Speaker 3: There a fascinating interview there with Steve Bananal had that
4:04
Speaker 3: full interview for you later in the program. But I
4:07
Speaker 3: want to go now to the other major story of
4:09
Speaker 3: the day.
4:10
Speaker 4: It is one that has captured world headlines.
4:12
Speaker 3: For the last forty eight hours, and that is, of
4:14
Speaker 3: course the situation in the Middle East and the ceasefire
4:18
Speaker 3: that's come about, of course, largely because of the election
4:22
Speaker 3: of Donald Trump. We've seen this fascinating news, this compelling us,
4:26
Speaker 3: this joyful news today of three Israeli women, young women
4:30
Speaker 3: who have been hostages for four hundred and seventy one
4:34
Speaker 3: days since Humma slaughtered twelve hundred people and took over
4:38
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty hostages back on October the seventh,
4:41
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three. An extraordinary trauma they've been through. But
4:46
Speaker 3: three women, with ninety four hostages still to go, but
4:49
Speaker 3: three women freed today. Look, I got to say we
5:19
Speaker 3: should all have very mixed feelings about this. Of course,
5:22
Speaker 3: joy and elation for the freed women and their families
5:26
Speaker 3: they're finally free.
5:28
Speaker 4: But the point is we also have to feel a
5:30
Speaker 4: great deal of grief and.
5:34
Speaker 3: Absolute anguish for the ninety four hostages still held.
5:38
Speaker 4: We know many of them are dead, and.
5:39
Speaker 3: Of course there's dozens of hostages already we know who
5:42
Speaker 3: have been killed. Never should have been one hostage taken
5:46
Speaker 3: for one day. These were abominable atrocities and the celebrations
5:52
Speaker 3: of Humas playing off the media of this.
5:55
Speaker 4: What we've seen.
5:56
Speaker 3: Today is absolutely outrageous. And notice there in the of
6:00
Speaker 3: the release we see Hummas militants wearing their Hummas green
6:04
Speaker 3: bandanas back in then.
6:06
Speaker 4: The military fatigues.
6:08
Speaker 3: Interesting, isn't it for the last year or more that
6:11
Speaker 3: pretended that there are only civilians in Gaza, no Hummas
6:15
Speaker 3: operatives wearing military fatigues or the green bandanas. Now with
6:20
Speaker 3: the ceasefire in place, they get to show that again.
6:23
Speaker 3: It's a shocking indictment. The problem here with the world
6:27
Speaker 3: is that Hummus should be destroyed. Hummas are a despicable
6:30
Speaker 3: Islamus terrorist organization, yet Israel has been forced to do
6:34
Speaker 3: deals with them, horrible repugnant deals in which thirty Hummas
6:39
Speaker 3: convicted terrorists are released for each one of these innocent
6:43
Speaker 3: young women taken by Hummas on October the seventh. We
6:48
Speaker 3: welcome the freedom, of course of the innocence, but this
6:53
Speaker 3: propaganda from Hummus and this deal making is obscene. I
6:58
Speaker 3: hope that we're going to see more hostage just released
7:00
Speaker 3: in the days to come. But we must be fraught
7:03
Speaker 3: and we must be very wary about how all this
7:06
Speaker 3: is going to unfold. I'll have a bit more, a
7:08
Speaker 3: lot more on this issue later in the program. Now,
7:12
Speaker 3: let me get back to the inauguration. The scene is
7:15
Speaker 3: set here. This town is in a security lockdown. There
7:20
Speaker 3: are police almost on every corner. There are barricades around
7:23
Speaker 3: the streets. There are even army vehicles blocking off some
7:26
Speaker 3: of the streets. Everything is in place for the inauguration tomorrow,
7:30
Speaker 3: which has been moved inside because of the minus ten
7:33
Speaker 3: degree and high windshill factors promised for tomorrow.
7:38
Speaker 4: But of course.
7:39
Speaker 3: Donald Trump had already planned a victory rally in Capitol
7:43
Speaker 3: One Arena today.
7:44
Speaker 4: Let's have a look at how that unfolded.
7:47
Speaker 3: We won, yes, And the President of course noted his
8:00
Speaker 3: own role in the Middle East, as so many of
8:02
Speaker 3: us have done. There's no doubt that this ceasefire in
8:04
Speaker 3: the Middle East would not have happened without the election
8:07
Speaker 3: of Donald Trump, without his strong words and threats against Hummus,
8:11
Speaker 3: And he addressed that in the rally today.
8:14
Speaker 5: Our incoming administration has achieved all of this in the
8:17
Speaker 5: Middle East in less than three months without being president.
8:21
Speaker 5: We've achieved more without being president than they've achieved in
8:26
Speaker 5: four years with being president.
8:30
Speaker 3: Now, the other thing with Donald Trump is that he
8:32
Speaker 3: is promising to run at breakneck speed. He is promising
8:36
Speaker 3: to sign hundreds of executive orders starting tomorrow, well later
8:40
Speaker 3: today d C. Time after his inauguration, he says.
8:43
Speaker 4: He will sign at least one hundred executive orders.
8:46
Speaker 3: Getting cracking straight straight away on tariffs, on crime, on immigration,
8:52
Speaker 3: immigration and border control are going to be a number
8:55
Speaker 3: one priority for Donald Trump.
8:57
Speaker 4: And it's going to start tomorrow afternoon.
9:00
Speaker 7: He's going to be big right across the country. Chicago's
9:04
Speaker 7: is one in many places. We got twenty four field
9:07
Speaker 7: office across the country. On Tuesday, you're gonna expect ICE
9:10
Speaker 7: is finally going to go out and do their job.
9:12
Speaker 7: We're going to take the handcuffs off ICE and let
9:15
Speaker 7: them go arrest criminal aliens. That's what's going to happen.
9:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's for a swift action when it comes to
9:22
Speaker 3: illegal immigrants, border control and the whole border security and
9:26
Speaker 3: immigration issues here in the United States.
9:28
Speaker 4: And that's got big ramifications for us. Back in Australia.
9:31
Speaker 3: Look, the Biden administration, as we all know, was slow,
9:35
Speaker 3: was orthodox.
9:36
Speaker 4: Was week was meandering along.
9:39
Speaker 3: Donald Trump is going to shake things up absolutely dramatically
9:43
Speaker 3: starting tomorrow. He's already really reshaping the global order. But
9:47
Speaker 3: there's a big focus, of course, on what he will
9:49
Speaker 3: say in his second inauguration speech tomorrow. He's only the
9:53
Speaker 3: second president, the first in one hundred and thirty years,
9:55
Speaker 3: to give to serve non consecutive terms. Wait and say
10:00
Speaker 3: what he says tomorrow. But the first god, of course,
10:03
Speaker 3: is what he said in his first inauguration speech back
10:05
Speaker 3: in two thousand and seven.
10:06
Speaker 4: Eight And have a look.
10:08
Speaker 1: You will never be ignored again.
10:16
Speaker 8: Your voice, your hopes, and your dreams will define our
10:22
Speaker 8: American destiny, and your courage and goodness and love will
10:27
Speaker 8: forever guide us along the way. Together, we will make
10:33
Speaker 8: America strong again. We will make America wealthy again. We
10:39
Speaker 8: will make America proud again, we will make America safe again.
10:45
Speaker 8: And yes, together we will make America great again. Thank you,
10:52
Speaker 8: God bless you, and God bless America.
10:57
Speaker 1: Thank you.
11:00
Speaker 4: America.
11:03
Speaker 3: There's Donald Trump in two thousand and seven, and where
11:05
Speaker 3: are only hours away from his second inauguration speech. A
11:08
Speaker 3: lot of people expecting a more optimistic tome from him
11:11
Speaker 3: this time around, but we will wait and see.
11:14
Speaker 4: Perhaps no village people, but.
11:15
Speaker 3: In an amazing address, and instead of being given out
11:18
Speaker 3: the front of the Congress to hundreds of thousands of
11:21
Speaker 3: people in the mall, it will be delivered in the
11:23
Speaker 3: Capitol rotunda as you see behind me, only about six
11:26
Speaker 3: hundred people there, and we'll be all over here and
11:29
Speaker 3: bring it to you live on Sky News. But next
11:31
Speaker 3: I want to talk about, so really what all this
11:33
Speaker 3: means for Australia. There's issues of tariffs, there's issues of
11:37
Speaker 3: border protection. Of course, there's the issues of global affairs
11:40
Speaker 3: China and the Middle East. So we'll wait and see
11:42
Speaker 3: what happens when it comes to defense as.
11:44
Speaker 4: Well with the new Trump administration.
11:47
Speaker 3: Now, one person who should know more about this than
11:49
Speaker 3: anybody else is Arthur cinnadinas he's a former chief of
11:53
Speaker 3: staff to Prime Minister John Howard, a former Liberal senator
11:56
Speaker 3: and of course a former Australian ambassador to the United
11:59
Speaker 3: States State.
12:00
Speaker 4: So I caught up with him in Washington today.
12:03
Speaker 3: Arthur sinnadenis, thanks for talking to us. Donald Trump is
12:07
Speaker 3: already shaking up the.
12:08
Speaker 4: World order, even before he's been inaugurated. Tell us about
12:11
Speaker 4: the impact on ORCUS.
12:13
Speaker 3: Because Donald Trump values alliances, but he expects allies to lift.
12:19
Speaker 4: To do their share of the deal.
12:20
Speaker 3: Does Australian need to do more on ORCUS to satisfy
12:24
Speaker 3: Donald Trump?
12:25
Speaker 9: I think the first thing is for people in Australia
12:27
Speaker 9: to stop trying to second guess. We know a few
12:30
Speaker 9: things about him, which is he values alliances with countries.
12:34
Speaker 10: Like Australia, no doubt about that. We haven't heard from
12:36
Speaker 10: him directly what he thinks about UCUS.
12:38
Speaker 9: There's been speculation that he may ask us to do
12:41
Speaker 9: more under that heading. We already are providing or will
12:44
Speaker 9: provide three billion dollars into the submarine industrial base here
12:47
Speaker 9: in the US to help build up their industrial base
12:51
Speaker 9: to help with them providing Virginia class submarines to Australia.
12:55
Speaker 10: So there's some room yet.
12:58
Speaker 9: To go on this, but the message he given to
13:00
Speaker 9: allies and partners is very clear already he does expect
13:03
Speaker 9: other countries to be doing more, and look that's fair enough.
13:07
Speaker 3: But he might expect us to spend more in the
13:10
Speaker 3: near term deal.
13:10
Speaker 9: Look that's possible, But for Australia I don't think it
13:15
Speaker 9: becomes an argument over budget aggregates. It's actually more a
13:19
Speaker 9: discussion around, well, okay, the way the relationship is evolving
13:23
Speaker 9: on defense, how do we best compliment each other. What
13:25
Speaker 9: are specific initiatives we need to do in addition.
13:28
Speaker 10: To what we're doing already.
13:29
Speaker 9: And part of the job of Australia is to remind
13:31
Speaker 9: the Americans that not so much that we need them,
13:34
Speaker 9: but they need us, and they need us because their
13:37
Speaker 9: security is tied up in what happens in the Indo Pacific,
13:41
Speaker 9: and to make them I think appreciate, particularly a new administration,
13:45
Speaker 9: often with new people in it who don't know Australia
13:47
Speaker 9: that well, the amount of stuff we are actually doing.
13:50
Speaker 10: It's not just about aucust.
13:52
Speaker 9: We've got all those forced posture initiatives in Northern Australia,
13:55
Speaker 9: We've got Pine Gap, we've got Northwest Cape, all of
13:58
Speaker 9: those facilities that we provide. So we are an integral
14:01
Speaker 9: part of America's security. And that's the message to them
14:04
Speaker 9: in an age where he is so focused on America first,
14:08
Speaker 9: it's not all about a defense.
14:10
Speaker 3: About defense and security though, is that it's a lot
14:12
Speaker 3: also about trade and investment, and Donald Trump promises to
14:16
Speaker 3: hit the ground running. He'll be signing executive orders this week,
14:20
Speaker 3: and we expect tariffs.
14:21
Speaker 4: And trade wars. How worried should Australia be about tariff's.
14:24
Speaker 9: Well, look on tariff's first and foremost. He thinks it's
14:27
Speaker 9: the most beautiful word in the English language. And he
14:29
Speaker 9: thinks that tariffs are paid for by foreigners, not by Americans.
14:34
Speaker 10: Now the cost of that will be born by Americans,
14:37
Speaker 10: and in due.
14:37
Speaker 9: Course we'll have to see how that goes. But in
14:40
Speaker 9: terms of Australia, I'm relatively sanguine. We have a trade
14:44
Speaker 9: deficit with the US, so it's not like we're screwing
14:47
Speaker 9: the US and inverted commas on trade. And also, I
14:50
Speaker 9: think because our economies are quite complementary.
14:53
Speaker 10: Areas like critical minerals where we.
14:56
Speaker 9: Need to reduce our dependence as allies and partners on
14:59
Speaker 9: China in that area, These are all sort of areas
15:02
Speaker 9: we can develop with the US. But I don't think
15:04
Speaker 9: we need to be on the back foot when it
15:06
Speaker 9: comes to the US. We bring a lot to the relationship.
15:10
Speaker 9: We have our own interests and we will pursue our
15:12
Speaker 9: own interests in relation to the US.
15:14
Speaker 4: Now, tell us about that.
15:15
Speaker 3: You've been ambassador here, you know how difficult it is
15:18
Speaker 3: to get the attention of the administration even when you're
15:21
Speaker 3: a key ally. The current ambassador is Kevin Rudd, the
15:25
Speaker 3: former Prime Minister. Like millions of lefties around the world,
15:28
Speaker 3: he's demonized Donald Trump in the past. Is he going
15:31
Speaker 3: to be able to get the access to Australia needs.
15:33
Speaker 9: Well, the important relationship is always between the president and
15:37
Speaker 9: the Prime minister. Ambassadors have their role, yes, and there
15:41
Speaker 9: are plenty of people out there who have criticized Donald
15:43
Speaker 9: Trump in the past who are now have changed their
15:45
Speaker 9: tune or are indeed put their hand up to work
15:48
Speaker 9: with him, like Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State. So
15:51
Speaker 9: my view is the important relationship will be between President
15:54
Speaker 9: Trump and Anthony ALBERIZI can they develop the sort of
15:57
Speaker 9: relationship that other American leaders Australian leaders have had. Anthony
16:01
Speaker 9: Albanez he had a good relationship with President Biden. Part
16:04
Speaker 9: of it was predicated on the fact that they had
16:07
Speaker 9: similar backgrounds and came from similar parts of the political spectrum.
16:10
Speaker 9: But the challenge for Australian leaders always is to have
16:13
Speaker 9: a good relationship with the American leader whatever the politics
16:16
Speaker 9: of either.
16:17
Speaker 3: All Right, So, a Donald Trump's speech is always an event.
16:22
Speaker 3: We've seen him given an inauguration speech previously. What are
16:25
Speaker 3: you expecting to hear from him tomorrow?
16:27
Speaker 9: Look, I think this one will be more optimistic than
16:31
Speaker 9: the last one. The last one talked about American carnage.
16:33
Speaker 9: He tried to paint a picture of why America was.
16:36
Speaker 10: In a dire state and how he was going to
16:38
Speaker 10: fix that.
16:39
Speaker 9: I think this time around, yes, he'll have his points
16:41
Speaker 9: about what he wants to fix, but I think it
16:44
Speaker 9: will be more forward looking and more optimistic and talking
16:48
Speaker 9: about unbounded peace and prosperity to come from the enactment
16:52
Speaker 9: of his policies. So in some ways it may be
16:56
Speaker 9: a more relaxed Donald Trump. He's had the experience of
16:59
Speaker 9: being in gouvern before, so he knows what he wants
17:01
Speaker 9: to do. He's got the Senate, he's got the House,
17:05
Speaker 9: the Supreme Court, et cetera, etc.
17:07
Speaker 10: He has all the centers of power.
17:10
Speaker 9: So at the moment, he would feel like he has
17:12
Speaker 9: unfettered power at least for the next two years until
17:14
Speaker 9: the midterms. And I think, therefore, as you alluded to before,
17:18
Speaker 9: he's going to hit the ground running. We expect up
17:20
Speaker 9: to one hundred executive orders very quickly on tariff's border protection,
17:24
Speaker 9: on cutting back red tape in government.
17:27
Speaker 10: And I think the attitude, actually, interestingly.
17:29
Speaker 9: Enough, of a lot of Democrats is okay, we can
17:32
Speaker 9: see the election, give him his chance, Let's see what
17:36
Speaker 9: he does, and not resist every single move, but only
17:39
Speaker 9: go in where we think there's a particular problem. So
17:42
Speaker 9: I think the whole atmosphere has changed, and I think
17:44
Speaker 9: people are treating him more, not as the messiah or
17:48
Speaker 9: the devil, but as a really accomplished, smart politician who
17:51
Speaker 9: will be judged on his actions.
17:53
Speaker 4: Now, what about you.
17:53
Speaker 3: You must be loving it here in the US, otherwise
17:55
Speaker 3: you'd be living back in oz.
17:57
Speaker 10: Well.
17:57
Speaker 9: Look, I got an offer to stay on and work
18:00
Speaker 9: the Asia Group here in DC, and I've got a
18:02
Speaker 9: son at university here. But I have to say one
18:04
Speaker 9: things that I like about being in the US, and Elizabeth,
18:07
Speaker 9: my wife, particularly likes, is the culture in terms of
18:10
Speaker 9: risk taking entrepreneurship that Chris, there's just a sense here
18:15
Speaker 9: of boundless optimism that we can do this. And in
18:18
Speaker 9: part what Donald Trump has done is revive that sense
18:21
Speaker 9: of Okay, there may be constraints, but we can work
18:24
Speaker 9: our way around them.
18:26
Speaker 10: And you know, harks back a bit.
18:27
Speaker 9: To the way that Ronald Reagan talked about America in
18:31
Speaker 9: his inauguration speech. I don't know whether it was the
18:33
Speaker 9: first or the second one where he talked about and
18:36
Speaker 9: we can do this because we are Americans, and that
18:39
Speaker 9: sense of optimism being able to tackle big things and
18:42
Speaker 9: get them done. You really feel that in this society.
18:45
Speaker 9: That doesn't mean the society is perfect. We all know
18:48
Speaker 9: every society has its strength and weaknesses. I love Australia,
18:51
Speaker 9: but I also love the optimism and the forward looking
18:54
Speaker 9: nature of the US.
18:56
Speaker 4: Arthur, thanks so much for talking to us.
18:57
Speaker 11: Great.
19:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, optimism, it's a keyword. You're going to hear a
19:02
Speaker 3: lot about it from Donald Trump. You can feel it
19:04
Speaker 3: on the streets of Washington, DC at the moment, at
19:07
Speaker 3: least from the outsiders who've come here for the inauguration.
19:10
Speaker 3: Let's bring in now our regular US politics analyst Kristen
19:14
Speaker 3: Tape joins us here at.
19:16
Speaker 4: The nation's capital. Christian, the first time we've met in
19:18
Speaker 4: the West. Great to catch up.
19:20
Speaker 12: I know, it's so exciting. Thank you for having mere you.
19:23
Speaker 3: Born and raised in the New England States. So this
19:25
Speaker 3: is not even really cold for you. Tell us about
19:27
Speaker 3: the way it's changed the event tomorrow, the fact that
19:30
Speaker 3: it's going to have to be endorsed. We miss out
19:31
Speaker 3: on that massive people in the mall and the parade
19:34
Speaker 3: down Pennsylvania Avenue.
19:36
Speaker 13: Yes, it's definitely an optics change because ideally you would
19:40
Speaker 13: see just throngs of tens of thousands of people, hundreds
19:43
Speaker 13: of thousands of people. Actually, they sent out I guess
19:46
Speaker 13: a quarter million inauguration tickets for this thing, and now
19:50
Speaker 13: it's going to be a really small and intimate event.
19:54
Speaker 13: Perhaps there were additionally security concerns that made them bring
19:56
Speaker 13: it inside. I mean, don't forget Donald Trump has had
19:59
Speaker 13: several attacks, assassination attempts made on him at this.
20:02
Speaker 12: Point, so they've got to be really careful.
20:04
Speaker 13: But yes, it's going to be quite cold tomorrow and
20:06
Speaker 13: the optics will change, but the message won't. And people
20:09
Speaker 13: are very excited here about it.
20:10
Speaker 3: Well, he had that victory rally at Capital One Arena today.
20:14
Speaker 4: He was always going to do that.
20:16
Speaker 3: It's really going to be repeated again tomorrow because of
20:19
Speaker 3: the changes. But let's have a look at him today
20:21
Speaker 3: talking about winning.
20:24
Speaker 1: We're not going to stop winning.
20:27
Speaker 2: The people of our country want us to keep on winning,
20:30
Speaker 2: and we're going to go win like never ever before.
20:34
Speaker 8: And that's what we're going to do.
20:38
Speaker 3: It's a pretty simple way to describe Donald Trump. He's
20:40
Speaker 3: a winner, but that's what he wants for the country.
20:43
Speaker 3: It's one of the reasons people watch on the win.
20:45
Speaker 13: Yes, there's a big sense of hope in America right now,
20:47
Speaker 13: all across the country, even up.
20:49
Speaker 12: In Boston where I live.
20:50
Speaker 13: People are so excited for this because I've got to
20:53
Speaker 13: tell you, Chris, here, in the US, for the last
20:55
Speaker 13: four years, quality of life in nearly every respect has
20:59
Speaker 13: been degraded under the Biden administration. Prices obviously are still
21:02
Speaker 13: through the roof here. Immigration is out of control in
21:05
Speaker 13: all corners of the country, even up in those northern states.
21:08
Speaker 13: It's causing crime, it's causing drug use. Crime just generally
21:12
Speaker 13: in urban areas is out of control. We all know
21:15
Speaker 13: what's going on globally. So we are so happy finally
21:18
Speaker 13: to have a real leader in charge here who's coming
21:21
Speaker 13: in with confidence. Look, this is not his first time
21:24
Speaker 13: on the merry ground. You can see it in his face.
21:26
Speaker 13: He's a changed man. He's strong. Look at his portrait.
21:28
Speaker 13: His presidential portrait is new one. He is showing his
21:31
Speaker 13: strength here and I think he's coming in wanting to
21:34
Speaker 13: get things done and quickly. He probably knows this time
21:37
Speaker 13: around he's got about six months to really hit the
21:39
Speaker 13: ground running on immigration, getting rid of DEI, all these things,
21:43
Speaker 13: pardoning the J sixers. There are so many things he
21:47
Speaker 13: touched on today that he really needs to tackle quickly,
21:50
Speaker 13: and I think he understands that.
21:51
Speaker 14: Now.
21:51
Speaker 3: One issue that you've written, spoken about and seen with
21:55
Speaker 3: your own eyes extensively is the immigration and bord of
21:58
Speaker 3: security issue. When you ad down in Texas. The President
22:02
Speaker 3: elect dealt with that very family any speech today.
22:06
Speaker 2: The border security measures I will outline in my inaugural
22:10
Speaker 2: address tomorrow will be the most aggressive, sweeping effort to
22:14
Speaker 2: restore our borders the world.
22:16
Speaker 4: Has ever seen.
22:17
Speaker 5: You know, we had the best safest border in the
22:21
Speaker 5: history of our country.
22:23
Speaker 4: Now he's talking a tough game here at Kristin. How's
22:26
Speaker 4: he going to go? He's actually talking and he's new
22:29
Speaker 4: immigration ZA.
22:30
Speaker 3: He is talking about rounding up illegally immigrants tomorrow afternoon.
22:34
Speaker 4: That's going to be that quickly going to get on with.
22:36
Speaker 12: This Yeah, they're going to move quickly. He said many
22:39
Speaker 12: times that he's.
22:39
Speaker 13: Going to start with the criminal illegal immigrants first. That
22:42
Speaker 13: should be relatively uncontroversial. I mean even Kamala Harris said
22:45
Speaker 13: she wanted to do that. What will really show the
22:48
Speaker 13: resolve of this administration is that he goes further than that.
22:52
Speaker 13: And we have Tom Hoeman as the borders are. We
22:55
Speaker 13: have Stephen Miller, a real hardliner, as one of his
22:57
Speaker 13: top policy advisors.
22:59
Speaker 12: The question for me is Christy Nomes. She's the head
23:01
Speaker 12: of DHS now.
23:02
Speaker 13: She I hope has the strength to push this through
23:05
Speaker 13: because every step of the way there will be legal
23:07
Speaker 13: challenges with this. If they start doing workplace raids, which
23:10
Speaker 13: is a big way where they find these people, where
23:11
Speaker 13: they go into workplaces and start rounding up legal immigrants,
23:15
Speaker 13: that is going to be challenged in court and they
23:17
Speaker 13: need to stay strong and keep pressing through. It sounds
23:20
Speaker 13: like he's going to do that and the resolve is there,
23:23
Speaker 13: but she's going to really shake things up.
23:25
Speaker 3: She's the former governor of South Dakotta. A bit of
23:27
Speaker 3: a surprise pick, but look the rally today. There's always
23:31
Speaker 3: something a little bit different.
23:32
Speaker 4: With Donald Chump.
23:33
Speaker 3: How about look at this, a little episode with Elon
23:35
Speaker 3: Musk and he's some X.
23:40
Speaker 5: Come here, Eylan, did you see his rocket yesterday?
23:44
Speaker 1: It was captured?
23:47
Speaker 4: Ah, and X is with him. X. Come on, let's
23:51
Speaker 4: say okay, thank you, thank you, thank you.
23:56
Speaker 15: As president, sorry, little exis ball me on the stage here.
24:02
Speaker 5: He's a very enthusiastic supporter.
24:04
Speaker 4: As you can see.
24:05
Speaker 16: It's a lot of good fan Christen. But I tell
24:13
Speaker 16: you what this idea of the richest man in the
24:16
Speaker 16: country and the president sharing the stage like this, it's
24:19
Speaker 16: flaught with danger when you think of the task he's
24:22
Speaker 16: given to Elon Musk and the possible conflicts.
24:24
Speaker 13: Yes, I've written about this before. I have another piece
24:27
Speaker 13: about this coming out in the Hill newspaper tomorrow.
24:30
Speaker 12: This is a little bit scary.
24:31
Speaker 13: On one hand, Elon Musk was arguably the biggest asset
24:35
Speaker 13: to the Trump administered to the Trump campaign. He donated
24:38
Speaker 13: tons of money to the reelection effort. Of course, he
24:41
Speaker 13: made X much more palatable to conservatives than Twitter was.
24:46
Speaker 13: But yeah, I mean, he's really in there with Trump.
24:49
Speaker 13: He's trying to be Trump's shadow. And one has to
24:52
Speaker 13: wonder where the line is here because we know Elon
24:55
Speaker 13: Musk Reilly is not a conservative. He aligns with that's
24:57
Speaker 13: on some issues, and that's great and I think there's
24:59
Speaker 13: a place.
24:59
Speaker 12: For him have influence in this administration.
25:02
Speaker 13: But one has to wonder where that influence kind of ends.
25:06
Speaker 3: Before I let you go a quick assessment of what
25:08
Speaker 3: you're expecting hoping to hear in the inauguration address tomorrow.
25:12
Speaker 13: Well, strength today, just strength, excitement and some fun. Trump
25:17
Speaker 13: is bringing fun to this and it's fun to support him,
25:19
Speaker 13: and it's fun to laugh at liberals.
25:20
Speaker 12: Liberals are always so angry. They hate Trump, they call
25:23
Speaker 12: his supporters evil. And everyone's having fun right now. They're
25:26
Speaker 12: supporting Trump and they're just kind of happy.
25:29
Speaker 13: And excited for what's about to come in the next
25:31
Speaker 13: four years. And Americans are ready for America to be
25:35
Speaker 13: strong again and frankly for the world to be strong again.
25:38
Speaker 4: It's great to have you here in the flesh.
25:39
Speaker 3: We're going to catch up with you every night this week, Kristin,
25:42
Speaker 3: I look forward to picking the inauguration apart tomorrow night.
25:45
Speaker 12: Really excited, Chris Kristen Tate.
25:47
Speaker 4: They're live in Washington, d C.
25:48
Speaker 11: With us.
25:48
Speaker 4: We're going to go to our first break.
25:50
Speaker 3: Make sure you come back after the break when I
25:52
Speaker 3: have a look more at the reaction in the Australian
25:55
Speaker 3: Jewish community to the release of the hostages in Israel,
25:58
Speaker 3: and also some of the promises now to combat anti
26:02
Speaker 3: Semitism in our own country.
26:04
Speaker 4: Don't go away.
26:09
Speaker 3: Let's go to the other big story dominating the world today,
26:12
Speaker 3: and that is the bittersweet story, of course, of the
26:14
Speaker 3: release of those three Israeli female hostages. The joy and
26:19
Speaker 3: elation at their release, yet the despair and outrage about
26:23
Speaker 3: the repugnant behavior of Hamas, the horrible deals done to
26:27
Speaker 3: get these hostages released, the outrage and concern about the
26:31
Speaker 3: hostages still being held ninety four of them by Hummas,
26:35
Speaker 3: many of those already believed to have been dead.
26:38
Speaker 4: Here's how Fox News reported it today.
26:41
Speaker 15: In a mob of Hamas gunmen, three young women held
26:44
Speaker 15: Hostagitans October seventh, twenty twenty three were transferred from Hamas
26:48
Speaker 15: vehicles in Gaza City to Red Cross jeeps. They were
26:52
Speaker 15: driven to Israeli special forces and ultimately to their mothers,
26:55
Speaker 15: who waited a year and a half to see and
26:58
Speaker 15: hold them. Of Israelis gathering at what has come to
27:01
Speaker 15: be called Hostage Square, cheered at their liberation. Twenty four
27:05
Speaker 15: year old Rome gonen Is from the north of Israel
27:08
Speaker 15: captured at the Nova Music Festival. Thirty one year old
27:11
Speaker 15: Doron Steinbracher, from a kibbutz near the Gaza Strip, was
27:14
Speaker 15: kidnapped from her home. Twenty eight year old Emily Damerie,
27:17
Speaker 15: who was British kidnapped from the same kibbutz. Her mother
27:20
Speaker 15: released a statement her nightmare is already behind her, but
27:23
Speaker 15: the impossible waiting of the rest of the families is
27:26
Speaker 15: still going on.
27:29
Speaker 3: I want to talk a bit a really human aspect
27:31
Speaker 3: of this, how these developments and the anti Semitism issues
27:35
Speaker 3: in Australia affect the Jewish community on the ground. And
27:38
Speaker 3: we're spoken before to Jewish community member Maney Perlstein, She
27:42
Speaker 3: joins us again, money, good to talk to you. First off,
27:45
Speaker 3: can you share with me the feelings you thought you
27:49
Speaker 3: and your friends and family felt about the release of
27:51
Speaker 3: the hostages today.
27:55
Speaker 17: Chris a mixed bag of emotions. Obviously that the hopes
28:02
Speaker 17: and prayers of three families and a whole nation were
28:04
Speaker 17: answered this morning with the return of Rommy, Emily and Doron.
28:09
Speaker 17: So there was joy, but there was also a lot
28:12
Speaker 17: of anger to see the Red Cross deliver those women
28:18
Speaker 17: to the border of Israel and across the border into
28:20
Speaker 17: the arms of Israelis was infuriating because we're talking about
28:25
Speaker 17: an organization that did not go and see any of them,
28:29
Speaker 17: or any hostage for that matter, over the last four
28:32
Speaker 17: hundred and seventy one days.
28:34
Speaker 12: And then there was also.
28:35
Speaker 17: A feeling I think of in a sense devastation about
28:41
Speaker 17: the world that the girls are coming back to, because
28:44
Speaker 17: it is certainly not the world that they left behind.
28:48
Speaker 17: I wonder how they're going to feel when they realize
28:51
Speaker 17: that there wasn't one women's advocacy group that spoke up
28:56
Speaker 17: on their behalf, that most of Hollywood, who would add
29:00
Speaker 17: vocate for the rights of a flea or an ant,
29:02
Speaker 17: we're not speaking up on their behalf, And that even
29:06
Speaker 17: Western University students were glorifying their captors, who, newsflash, are
29:15
Speaker 17: part of a terrorist organization. So a lot of mixed
29:17
Speaker 17: emotions today, to be honest.
29:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a terrible contradiction, isn't it.
29:24
Speaker 3: It's a terrible realization today when you see those pictures
29:28
Speaker 3: and you realize that there have been so many on
29:30
Speaker 3: the political left over the past year have really been
29:33
Speaker 3: arguing the case of those terrorists with the green bandanas
29:37
Speaker 3: over the year, rather than pushing the interests of those
29:40
Speaker 3: innocent women who've been taken hostage. Four hundred and seventy
29:43
Speaker 3: one days. It's a bewildering way to look at the world.
29:48
Speaker 3: And as you say, that's what they confront now. Now
29:50
Speaker 3: many you have a personal connection to one of the
29:53
Speaker 3: freed hostages, Rommi tell us about that. I actually have.
30:00
Speaker 17: Been advocating for all of the hostages for four hundred
30:03
Speaker 17: and seventy one days. It's become my full time obsession.
30:06
Speaker 17: I've been to Israel twice since October seventh, twenty twenty three.
30:11
Speaker 17: I've actually met two returned hostages and a number of
30:15
Speaker 17: hostage families. But I did have the privilege of meeting
30:20
Speaker 17: Rommy's mum, Mayrav in may in Israel. It was day
30:25
Speaker 17: two hundred and twenty of Romy's captivity, so she was
30:30
Speaker 17: only halfway through the captivity, and I had a chance
30:35
Speaker 17: to speak to Mayrov and understand what she was going through,
30:40
Speaker 17: what all the hostage families were going through. And the
30:43
Speaker 17: reality is that Rommy's mum, Mayrov, prior to October seven,
30:47
Speaker 17: was a full time mum raising five kids, and her
30:50
Speaker 17: joy was putting dinner on the table. She was not
30:53
Speaker 17: a woman who wanted to be in the public eye.
30:57
Speaker 17: And I actually met with her on It was in
31:00
Speaker 17: May the fourteenth, that was Yomhutsmaut, which which is Israeli
31:04
Speaker 17: Independence Day.
31:05
Speaker 4: It's a day.
31:06
Speaker 17: Where she should have been celebrating and partying with her family,
31:10
Speaker 17: but she'd come to meet with a small group of
31:12
Speaker 17: us to advocate for her daughter and to beg us
31:15
Speaker 17: to go back to our countries and speak to our
31:18
Speaker 17: governments and our communal leaders, because she didn't feel that
31:22
Speaker 17: the plight of the hostages was being spoken about. And
31:26
Speaker 17: I remember saying to Meyrav that day that for such
31:30
Speaker 17: a quiet and shy woman, not only had she stepped
31:33
Speaker 17: into her strength, but she had also stepped into her power,
31:38
Speaker 17: because only a month later she actually went to the
31:41
Speaker 17: United Nations Human Rights Council and advocated for the return
31:45
Speaker 17: of her daughter. So today is quite unbelievable.
31:49
Speaker 3: I have to say, well, enjoy that freedom, enjoy the
31:57
Speaker 3: victory of Rommy being released, and I know you'll keep
32:01
Speaker 3: fighting money for the other hostages and against anti Semitism.
32:06
Speaker 3: In Australia where there's been too little action too late.
32:10
Speaker 3: Thanks so much for joining us. Marty Peerston live from Sydney.
32:14
Speaker 3: We're better take a break on the other side, don't
32:16
Speaker 3: you got I've got Jamma Chanini and Caroline are also
32:19
Speaker 3: coming up. But after the break, I'll show you the
32:21
Speaker 3: full interview here in Washington, d C. With Donald Trump's
32:25
Speaker 3: former political strategist Steve Bannon. Well, as I showed you
32:33
Speaker 3: earlier in the program, we managed to track down a
32:36
Speaker 3: rather unique conservative event today where Donald Trump's former chief
32:41
Speaker 3: political strategist Steve Bannon was leading the group in a
32:45
Speaker 3: chant against the Chinese Communist Party.
32:50
Speaker 1: Ingratiations from Grizel.
32:52
Speaker 6: We also have the alternative to the Chinese commings Bury,
32:55
Speaker 6: the new Federal state of Training.
33:07
Speaker 4: Well good on them.
33:07
Speaker 3: The Chinese Communist Party is certainly not a force for
33:11
Speaker 3: good now. They're all here, of course for the inauguration
33:14
Speaker 3: of Donald Trump, and I was able to catch up
33:16
Speaker 3: with Steve Bannon and have a good chat to him
33:18
Speaker 3: about Donald Trump two point zero.
33:21
Speaker 4: Steve Bannon, great to talk to you.
33:23
Speaker 1: Tell us about Sky News here, great stars of the bus.
33:26
Speaker 1: We're we're always cutting clips from you guys all the time.
33:29
Speaker 4: For fantastic.
33:30
Speaker 3: Look the volatility of Donald Trump winning the election in
33:34
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen. Nobody more knows more about that than you,
33:38
Speaker 3: and also the controversy that followed, the legal problems, the
33:42
Speaker 3: authorities trying to do the president.
33:44
Speaker 4: In since the use of time yourself, is this.
33:48
Speaker 3: The greatest political comeback in US political history?
33:50
Speaker 1: I think it's the greatest political comeback in all political
33:53
Speaker 1: history President Trump, and they stole the twenty twenty election
33:57
Speaker 1: from him, and remember they fight him every step of
33:59
Speaker 1: the way, that deep state, the administrative state. I don't
34:02
Speaker 1: think people internationally realize that he was like a twenty
34:06
Speaker 1: eight or twenty nine percent approval. Even part of the
34:08
Speaker 1: MAGA movement left him. He was in mar Lago. Now
34:11
Speaker 1: he had every opportunity just to go play golf, make money,
34:15
Speaker 1: build golf courses out the world. He made a conscious
34:17
Speaker 1: decision to come back, knowing that they were going to
34:20
Speaker 1: jail him, knowing that they were going to try to
34:22
Speaker 1: bankrupt him. He made a conscious decision to come back
34:25
Speaker 1: because it's like the hero's journey to me. That's why
34:27
Speaker 1: we backed up from the beginning. It was inevitable he
34:30
Speaker 1: was going to win, but the struggle we had in
34:32
Speaker 1: twenty one and twenty two was absolutely brutal, as he
34:35
Speaker 1: kind of before the primary started. So this is the
34:37
Speaker 1: greatest political comeback, and we've had four years to get ready.
34:40
Speaker 1: We've had those policy peoples that were that were with us.
34:43
Speaker 1: We're studying. So you're going to start to see tomorrow
34:46
Speaker 1: after the ceremony. It's what I call days of thunder.
34:49
Speaker 1: It's going to be on every vertical that president, everything
34:52
Speaker 1: from the war in Ukraine to the economy, in tariffs,
34:55
Speaker 1: particularly for the NASS deportations. You're going to see other
34:59
Speaker 1: things about woke nus. But we've had four years to
35:01
Speaker 1: prepare for this in a policy and to build a team.
35:04
Speaker 1: These are politically combat hardened veterans, and you're going to
35:07
Speaker 1: see some stuff. I think it's are shock people.
35:09
Speaker 4: That's the big question.
35:10
Speaker 3: Isn't that there was so much chaos in that first administration,
35:13
Speaker 3: such a high turnover of stoff seeing you stop, including yourself.
35:17
Speaker 3: How much better prepared He's Donald Trump and he's team
35:20
Speaker 3: this time around.
35:21
Speaker 1: If you go back, and not to defend the first term,
35:23
Speaker 1: but everything we got done in that first six months
35:25
Speaker 1: or eight months, as they said, it us chaos. The deregulation,
35:28
Speaker 1: the tax cut, the reorientation of the army in the military.
35:33
Speaker 1: Eighteen and nineteen, those great years where the economy was
35:36
Speaker 1: on a roll, and Trumpet delivered peace and prosperity. Right,
35:39
Speaker 1: No wars, didn't start your wars, no real fighting anywhere
35:43
Speaker 1: on the planet. And we had prosperity. We had over
35:47
Speaker 1: three percent real growth, low inflation, low interest rates. If
35:50
Speaker 1: you see the debacle, and this is just the neoliberal,
35:53
Speaker 1: neo con mentality of it. That's not Biden and radical Democrats.
35:57
Speaker 1: Wall Street's been in back of this, the apartheid state
36:00
Speaker 1: of a Silicon Valley with the oligarchs. We're in back
36:03
Speaker 1: of this. They drove this. And now President Trump's coming
36:06
Speaker 1: back and much more prepared. But the situation we have
36:09
Speaker 1: now is five times more dire than we took over
36:12
Speaker 1: from President Obama. This right now we have, you know,
36:16
Speaker 1: the beginning of the kinetic part of the Third World
36:18
Speaker 1: War on the Eurasian land mass. Okay, we have a
36:21
Speaker 1: massive financial crisis here with thirty six three dollars in debt,
36:24
Speaker 1: and people in your audience understand, we're adding a treeion
36:27
Speaker 1: dollars in debt every hundred days. He's got to deal
36:29
Speaker 1: with that. Plus we have to deport eleven million to
36:32
Speaker 1: twelve million illegal alien invaders. So just the work at
36:34
Speaker 1: the BETT is at a scale. And that's why, even
36:37
Speaker 1: being prepared, people have to understand it's not going to
36:41
Speaker 1: be chaotic because it's thought through, but the resistance of
36:44
Speaker 1: the Democrats and the radicals in our country and the
36:46
Speaker 1: globalists are going to be as intense as anything you've
36:48
Speaker 1: ever seen.
36:49
Speaker 4: Well, Donald Trump says it's still going to start tomorrow.
36:51
Speaker 3: In many ways, it started already to change in the
36:53
Speaker 3: world order with the breakthrough in the Middle East.
36:56
Speaker 4: Tell us about the big names.
36:57
Speaker 3: That he's appointing to his cabinet today gets of course Bondie,
37:02
Speaker 3: Rubio Mosque, who are going to be the stars who
37:05
Speaker 3: are going to create problems.
37:06
Speaker 1: I think if you see the cabinet confirmation process last week,
37:10
Speaker 1: even more important than the ceasefire in the Middle East
37:13
Speaker 1: was Marc ro Rubio, Pete Heseth and Scott Bessett. Particularly
37:18
Speaker 1: for an Australian audience. Marco Rubio ran through and literally said,
37:22
Speaker 1: we are seeing the end of the post World War
37:24
Speaker 1: two liberal rules based order. It's collapsed, it's been gained
37:28
Speaker 1: and the globalization doesn't work anymore. The only pushback he got.
37:32
Speaker 1: He didn't get pushed back from Democrats because they really
37:34
Speaker 1: are so back on their hind foot. It was really Republicans,
37:37
Speaker 1: some of the establishment Republicans. Pete Heseth talked about an
37:41
Speaker 1: infusion of the warrior ethos into our military, that we're
37:44
Speaker 1: now we're going to look to win wars, win him quickly,
37:46
Speaker 1: not be dragged out forever. But Scott Besst really had
37:49
Speaker 1: the most powerful which talked about the centrality of the
37:52
Speaker 1: United States and the world economy in the bond market.
37:55
Speaker 1: Every nation on Earth right now has got a problem
37:57
Speaker 1: with too much spending, got a problem with how you
37:59
Speaker 1: financed that spending. So you're going to see a coordinated effort,
38:02
Speaker 1: and I think the three big power players coming out
38:04
Speaker 1: will be He said that the Fans who will get
38:07
Speaker 1: confirmed Rubio at State and Scott bess And at Treasury.
38:11
Speaker 3: Finally the Democrats the Liberal lift.
38:14
Speaker 4: They seem to have learned nothing.
38:16
Speaker 3: There's no self examination about their policies or their personnel.
38:19
Speaker 4: It's all still.
38:20
Speaker 3: About how Donald Trump's going to just destroy the joints.
38:23
Speaker 4: They don't show any signs of learning. Is it already now?
38:27
Speaker 4: Likely that as long as.
38:28
Speaker 3: Donald Trump has a decent second term, JD Vance will
38:31
Speaker 3: get the nomination.
38:32
Speaker 4: And win in four years time.
38:35
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know about the future on that type
38:37
Speaker 1: of pologies, I tell you right now, Let's talk about
38:39
Speaker 1: the Democrats. What is shocking, I think to people because
38:42
Speaker 1: the Senate is supposed to be where their intellectual center
38:44
Speaker 1: of gravity is. Last week's Confirmation hearings were humiliating for
38:50
Speaker 1: the Democrats. They had no real pushback on major areas
38:53
Speaker 1: of global finance, of the end of the rules based
38:55
Speaker 1: order of American first, foreign policy and national security policy,
38:58
Speaker 1: of which Australia is went of our great allies right
39:01
Speaker 1: particularly in the in the hot zone of East Asia,
39:05
Speaker 1: the Indo Pacific theater, and the naval and military assets
39:09
Speaker 1: in Australia as a trading partner. No pushback it off
39:13
Speaker 1: from the Democrats. They are bankrupt of ideas and here's
39:16
Speaker 1: why for so many years they rested on Wall Street
39:19
Speaker 1: in the media to carry them and the apartheid state
39:22
Speaker 1: of Silicon Valley. People are running around at these oligarchs. Remember,
39:25
Speaker 1: up until a couple of weeks ago, all the oligarchs
39:27
Speaker 1: are progressive Democrats. They fully tomorrow at the ceremony. They're
39:31
Speaker 1: making a big deal that Elon must be in there
39:33
Speaker 1: in Zuckerberg, you know Trump's that's a surrender ceremony. It's
39:37
Speaker 1: like being on the battleship Missouri in Tokyo Harbor in
39:40
Speaker 1: September of nineteen forty five, and there they're the Imperial
39:44
Speaker 1: Japanese High Command and Donald Trump's MacArthur right, and they're
39:48
Speaker 1: signing a surrender document. They are col telling Trump, they're
39:51
Speaker 1: coming up and saying, can you take a million dollar check?
39:53
Speaker 1: Can you take a twenty million dollar check? What they
39:55
Speaker 1: were progressive Democrats. What it shows you is that we
39:58
Speaker 1: broke we broke the globalists in this country. Now they're
40:01
Speaker 1: still very strong. It's still embedded in the administrative in
40:03
Speaker 1: deep state. That's what's going to make this so intense.
40:06
Speaker 1: But in this massive victory we had on Nomber fifth,
40:09
Speaker 1: particularly bringing in African American and Hispanic working class families
40:13
Speaker 1: is changing the direction of our country. It's a realignment
40:16
Speaker 1: almost like nineteen thirty two. We're not there yet, but
40:19
Speaker 1: we're going to get there.
40:20
Speaker 3: Any official role for you in the administration at all, No, If.
40:23
Speaker 1: You look at all the players from the first administration,
40:26
Speaker 1: Jared Kushner, Avanka Kelly Ann, myself, Dave Bassi, Corey Lewandowski,
40:32
Speaker 1: Jason Miller, Boris Epstein, all of us are on the outside.
40:35
Speaker 1: And here's the reason. President Trump's got a really good
40:38
Speaker 1: team for a White House staff. They're relatively young, right,
40:40
Speaker 1: but it's a good, tight team. He's got great cabinet secretaries.
40:43
Speaker 1: Go rely a lot on the cabinet. He needs, what
40:46
Speaker 1: we found out for the first term. You need people
40:48
Speaker 1: that you trust in our hammers on the outside that
40:51
Speaker 1: can push the agenda and push the narrative. And what
40:54
Speaker 1: he's got is some of his toughest warriors, the most
40:56
Speaker 1: combat hardened, are on the outside. But we're all ready
40:59
Speaker 1: to go, ready to go, particularly for tomorrow. I would
41:01
Speaker 1: tell your audience you're about to see in twenty twenty
41:04
Speaker 1: five a year in American politics and international politics and
41:08
Speaker 1: Libal politics that has never been seen in modern times.
41:11
Speaker 1: So just stand by strap In.
41:13
Speaker 4: Steve Mannon, thanks for talking to us.
41:15
Speaker 1: Thank you, Love Sky Love and we love the guys
41:17
Speaker 1: in Australia. We love you guys.
41:19
Speaker 3: Extraordinary stuff. There are a lot of food for thought.
41:22
Speaker 3: Agree with him, will disagree with him. I think The
41:24
Speaker 3: central point here is that in ten hours time, at
41:26
Speaker 3: a ceremony under that capital doom, that Capital Dome, the world,
41:31
Speaker 3: the geopolitical outlook in this planet, and of course what's
41:36
Speaker 3: happening here in the United States is going to change dramatically.
41:40
Speaker 3: After this break, going to catch up with Gematon Uni
41:42
Speaker 3: and Caroline giusso find out what they make of all
41:44
Speaker 3: of this. The Kenny Report coming to you live from Washington,
41:52
Speaker 3: DC tonight, as we count down the next ten hours
41:56
Speaker 3: to the second inauguration of Donald Trump under the Capitol Dome.
42:00
Speaker 3: There behind me, let's cross back the city now catch
42:02
Speaker 3: up with a couple of my great mates and a
42:04
Speaker 3: couple of great commentators in Jemma, ton Yuni and Caroline
42:10
Speaker 3: Dusso great to see you both on the desk in Sydney,
42:13
Speaker 3: and I'm.
42:13
Speaker 4: Not there, guys.
42:14
Speaker 3: Let's get your thoughts on what's unfolding so much to digest.
42:18
Speaker 3: It's got to you first, Caroline, what are your thoughts
42:20
Speaker 3: on the hostage release, the mixed feelings so many of
42:23
Speaker 3: us have about what we've seen unfolded.
42:27
Speaker 18: It was just confronting all of it, confronting, and I
42:30
Speaker 18: think particularly those photos where you just saw this sea
42:34
Speaker 18: of her mass and this one lonely woman just trying
42:39
Speaker 18: to hold it together long enough, that last little bit
42:42
Speaker 18: to get to safety after fifteen months in captivity. I
42:45
Speaker 18: think that photo is going to be seed into the
42:48
Speaker 18: memory of a lot of us for a long time.
42:52
Speaker 18: I can't help it thinking in so many ways it's
42:54
Speaker 18: such a terrible deal. But I tell you what, if
42:57
Speaker 18: I was the family of what the family of one
42:59
Speaker 18: of those hostages, you would do absolutely anything to get
43:04
Speaker 18: your family back. So, you know, I think there are
43:06
Speaker 18: going to be very mixed feelings on both sides, and
43:09
Speaker 18: it'll just you know, we all just got to wait
43:11
Speaker 18: and see how all this plays out, not just this
43:14
Speaker 18: part now, this first forty two days, but into the future.
43:17
Speaker 18: How long until Hamas can hold it together before they
43:20
Speaker 18: send a rocket over the fence.
43:24
Speaker 3: Jemmy, you've written and spoken so passionately about this for
43:27
Speaker 3: so long. You've been to Israel twice since the October
43:31
Speaker 3: the seventh atrocities.
43:33
Speaker 4: Tell us about your thoughts about this deal.
43:35
Speaker 3: How we going to see it unfolding coming days as
43:37
Speaker 3: we hope for more hostages to be released.
43:39
Speaker 4: But the role also of Donald Trump and bringing this about.
43:45
Speaker 14: It's really important to understand that none of us, obviously
43:49
Speaker 14: myself included, are experts in hostage negotiations, and essentially, you know,
43:54
Speaker 14: a swap of innocent civilians for convicted terrorists, rapists, and murders.
44:00
Speaker 14: The world has been conned and Israel has been villified.
44:03
Speaker 14: This wouldn't be happening without Donald Trump and what he said,
44:07
Speaker 14: what was about three or four weeks ago. If it's
44:09
Speaker 14: not done by the twentieth, Heaven help you. Everybody knows
44:12
Speaker 14: that any commentary or any observation that this was anything
44:15
Speaker 14: to do with the Biden administration is fantasy. I think
44:19
Speaker 14: the other thing that's really important to understand that this
44:21
Speaker 14: is by the wording of President ntsan Yahu and a
44:25
Speaker 14: Prime minister rather net Yaha and President Trump, a temporary ceasefire.
44:30
Speaker 14: It is a staged temporary ceasefire. There is a lot
44:33
Speaker 14: of water under the bridge. We saw yesterday in the
44:36
Speaker 14: last twenty four hours that this first prisoner release was
44:41
Speaker 14: delayed because Kamas.
44:43
Speaker 12: Broke the clause.
44:45
Speaker 14: They broke the conditions of that release. First up, they
44:48
Speaker 14: did they didn't release the names, and they weren't intending
44:50
Speaker 14: to release the names. We know that in that staged approach.
44:54
Speaker 14: There are very strict conditions that AMUS must meet in
44:58
Speaker 14: order for Israel to cease temporarily its military operation. What
45:03
Speaker 14: I want people there might be some of some people
45:05
Speaker 14: watching tonight, Chris, who are on the fence. And if
45:07
Speaker 14: you're on the fence and you watch the vision of
45:09
Speaker 14: that sea of cowardly masked men armed to the teeth
45:15
Speaker 14: surrounding three young women who were dragged, two dragged from
45:19
Speaker 14: their homes, one dragged from the Nova festival. Chris, I
45:22
Speaker 14: was at Kefaza not three weeks ago, and that's where
45:26
Speaker 14: two of those three women were dragged from. And I
45:28
Speaker 14: can't tell you the devastation. Someone said to me today, Oh,
45:31
Speaker 14: what's it like for people you know who live there?
45:33
Speaker 4: Now?
45:33
Speaker 14: Nobody is living on those keyboardzes. Now it's fifteen months later,
45:36
Speaker 14: and nobody's living there because that's where their families and
45:39
Speaker 14: friends were slaughtered in an absolute violent orgy. The West,
45:44
Speaker 14: the useful idiots in the West have been had, absolutely had,
45:49
Speaker 14: And I hope they're looking at today's scenes out of
45:52
Speaker 14: Gaza with absolute shame and embarrassment.
45:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was sickening to see.
45:59
Speaker 3: And I want to bring the debate back home with
46:03
Speaker 3: just other point on that gem of though, it is
46:04
Speaker 3: important that we need Donald Trump to keep the pressure
46:08
Speaker 3: on here. This deal is, yeah, it is so fragile,
46:12
Speaker 3: there are so many steps to it, and Donald Trump
46:14
Speaker 3: needs to keep the focus on that, and it needs
46:17
Speaker 3: the international community to.
46:18
Speaker 4: Back him in doing that. But I want to bring
46:20
Speaker 4: the debate back home.
46:21
Speaker 3: Into Australia where we've seen such horrible acts of anti
46:24
Speaker 3: Semitism escalating all the time, firebombings now in the suburbs.
46:29
Speaker 3: And from Chris Men's the New South Wales Premier, we
46:32
Speaker 3: suddenly get this push to strengthen the laws, to strengthen
46:36
Speaker 3: the hate speech laws. Here's the New South Wales Premier.
46:40
Speaker 4: The initial spark is hate speech.
46:42
Speaker 11: In our community and our government's going to make a
46:46
Speaker 11: decision soon, a difficult decision, but the right one I believe,
46:49
Speaker 11: to strengthen hate speech laws in New South Wales. So
46:52
Speaker 11: is that if someone's preaching hatred in the community, it
46:57
Speaker 11: doesn't manifest itself two months or three months later in
47:00
Speaker 11: a firebombing or an attack or something worse.
47:05
Speaker 3: Caroline, We've needed stronger actions since October the eighth, twenty
47:10
Speaker 3: twenty three, so many people have been calling for it.
47:13
Speaker 3: Why does it take till now for some politicians to.
47:16
Speaker 18: Act because it's finally manifested into violence and fire bombing
47:22
Speaker 18: is absolute violence. I know, Chris, you've shown the clip
47:26
Speaker 18: several times in your show over the last fifteen months
47:28
Speaker 18: of the celebrations on October the seventh, and if we
47:32
Speaker 18: did not have the necessary laws in place at the time,
47:37
Speaker 18: those conversations should have been had back then. But they
47:40
Speaker 18: were happening quietly away, and there wasn't this affront, this
47:45
Speaker 18: direct affront of violence that we are now seeing escalate
47:49
Speaker 18: into the community. So the political class thought that they
47:51
Speaker 18: could get away with it. The other point is, Chris,
47:54
Speaker 18: if you've got laws, and regardless of the laws you have,
47:56
Speaker 18: there needs to be enforcement. So you can have as
47:59
Speaker 18: pretty words as you like, but.
48:00
Speaker 4: They need absolutely.
48:04
Speaker 3: Absolutely well, said Caroline Carolina also and Gematonini, thanks so
48:08
Speaker 3: much for joining us.
48:09
Speaker 4: I need to wrap up the program.
48:11
Speaker 3: I do want to finish on a lighter note, a
48:13
Speaker 3: happier note. So let's go back to Donald Trump and
48:16
Speaker 3: that victory rally held.
48:18
Speaker 4: In Washington, d C. Today.
48:21
Speaker 6: Come on, everybody, it's fun to see it.
48:27
Speaker 17: Understand it.
48:46
Speaker 10: Still contive yourself.
48:51
Speaker 3: And in ten hours from now, that man is going
48:54
Speaker 3: to be inaugurated in that building as the US President
48:58
Speaker 3: for the second time.
48:59
Speaker 4: We'll have more on that tomorrow night here Arlive at five.
49:03
Speaker 4: For now he is Peter Credlin.
