  Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Reader Paney Show. Coming
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: up tonight.
• 0:12
  Speaker 4: Democracy under thread with President Joe Biden earlier today announcing
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: he will not seek renomination, but no address to the nation,
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: no prerecorded statement, nothing other than a written statement released
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: on social media on x A platform. We can be
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: fairly certain Biden does not personally use. You can have
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: a look at his account and see the output there.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: You understand why I say that. Does President Biden even
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: know he's not running for renomination? Who exactly is running
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: the country right now? It was just over a week
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: ago when President Biden.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Said this, what's Joe Biden going to do? Is he
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: going to stand in the race?
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: Is he going to drop out?
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Where's myself? I am running and we're gonna win. I'm
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: my protander.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: How can Biden remain in the oval office?
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: How can a man judged by his own to be
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: too cognitively impaired to run for president again remain president?
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Who's running the country?
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Only yesterday he was saying he would run again and
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: he would win.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: It's the most.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: Important election of our lifetimes, and I will win it,
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: He tweeted, We'll be covering this incredible news from every
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: angle with a stellar lineup of guests, including Senator Alex
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Antik Provisa, Ian Plymer, and the always droll Texan Alex
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Stein later in the hour.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: And of course left.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Is losing it, and yes, this woman is going to
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: be featuring quite prominently.
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: You think you just fell out of a coconut tree.
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: You exists in the context we are watched the television
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: coverage of just yesterday. That's on top of everything else
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: that we know and don't know yet based on what
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: we've just been able to see in because we've seen
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: it or not doesn't mean it hasn't happened.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Yes, that's Kamala Harris, the inept, radically left, and wildly
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: unpopular vice president who has now been presented as the
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Democrat's great hope, the woman who has not won a
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: single presidential primary, a Californian from San Francisco with a
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: voting record in the Senate that is radically left. She's
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: disliked by her own let alone the average American and
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: polsters including Matt Towry, are already laying bare. Han unpopular
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Kamala is in the crucial swing states. The polling show
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: she's even less popular than Biden among independents in those
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: swing states. Indeed, across America, Kamala has proven to be
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: less popular than the least popular president.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Of our time.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: She has consistently lied to the American people about Biden's
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: cognitive decline, and millions of Americans gave their primary vote
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: to Biden. Their votes mean nothing. Tonight, the Democrats have
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: shown again and again, though they bleet endlessly about threats
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: to democracy, they care little about democracy. They have weaponized
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: the justice system to try to imprison their chief political rival.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: And now they're going.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: To ignore the votes of fourteen million Americans who voted
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: for Biden in the Democratic primary, and they will install
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Kamala as the candidate. And it hasn't taken long for
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: the Trump team to release an ad attacking Kamala.
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: Harris Kamala was in on it. She covered up Joe's
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: obvious mental decline.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: Our president is in good shape, in good health, tireless, vibrant,
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: and I have no doubt about the strength of the
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: work that we have done.
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: But Carmalin knew Joe couldn't do the job, so she
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: did it. Look what she got done. A border in vs.
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: Runaway in Fleetion, the American dream dead. They created this mess.
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: They know Kamala owns this failed record.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Now let's bring in Liberal Senator Alex Antick. Alex, what
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: do you make of today's events?
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Is this a quite coup?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 4:21
  Speaker 8: Look, who knows what goes on with American politics? Reader
• 4:24
  Speaker 8: suffice to say that I just am staggered that people
• 4:27
  Speaker 8: are staggered. This seemed to be telegraphed for I would
• 4:30
  Speaker 8: have thought years out. I mean, I honestly didn't think
• 4:33
  Speaker 8: that Joe Biden would make it past the first year.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Franklin.
• 4:36
  Speaker 8: We saw that because his performances in the twenty nineteen
• 4:40
  Speaker 8: twenty twenty era were actually not that much different to
• 4:43
  Speaker 8: what we saw in that recent debate. It's just that
• 4:45
  Speaker 8: all of a sudden, the media turned on him, and
• 4:48
  Speaker 8: of course from there we just saw a pylon. And
• 4:51
  Speaker 8: I mean, I just find it staggering. I saw Vivic
• 4:53
  Speaker 8: Ramaswami making the point of the presidential elections no sorry,
• 4:56
  Speaker 8: Republican presidential debate. The Democrats should just give up this
• 5:02
  Speaker 8: charade that Joe was going to be the nominee.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: I mean It just strikes me as being the most
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: obvious train wreck in the distance that I have ever seen.
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: And yet here we are and people are feigning surprise.
• 5:14
  Speaker 8: So be it, I say, but they.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Were happy for him to run again as long as
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: that had gas lit the American people into believing he
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: was fit for office.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: It's only when the poles really turned.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: I don't think they even care about the debate performance
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: as much as they just see no recovery in the
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: polls for him, So they're just going to throw away
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: the entire process. And when you look at the poles
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: that have come out just since this news broke, it
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: doesn't look pretty for Kamala.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: This National ge Pole's got Trump on.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Forty four percent, Harris thirty six, and Kennedy up to
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: six percent. There Joe Biden is backing his vice president
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: and saw a number of other powerful players, but not
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Barack Obama, not yet, and he seems to have so
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: much power within the Democrats. Alex, why do you think
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: that is? Why do you think he is hesitant to
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: back Kamala.
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: Well, it's a great question, and I know that there
• 6:20
  Speaker 8: is actually the convention in a couple of weeks, so
• 6:23
  Speaker 8: it's all yet to be played out, and the way
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: it roles is quite intriguing. They can vote virtually over
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: the next little period. They'd hope to install the previous
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: president Biden by I think the seventh of August, so
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: and that didn't happen obviously, so there's obviously some back
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: room negotiation going on. People bring their delegates with them.
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: They are all free to vote now however they want,
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: though Biden's Democrat delegates, so time will tell. But look,
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: I mean this has been such a topsy turvy period
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: over the last few months. Yet I don't think we
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: could safely say that she is home and host yet.
• 6:58
  Speaker 8: I mean, maybe there's an outside and then might come through.
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: If you ask Roger Stone, he's been saying Michelle Obama
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: for eighteen months.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: I mean, we've had a wee October surprises in the
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: last two months before we even get to October.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, who knows.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: It's a very good point, and there's some very smart
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: money saying just that that they're going to go with her. Now,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: give her a couple of weeks to try to prove herself,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: and if she fails, then they've got time to back
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: another candidate in perhaps a Michelle Obama or a Gavin Newsom.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, the entire process, though, seems to be shambolic.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Alex.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: You've got a process to find a candidate, and the
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Democrats seem to have little respect for that. Where we've
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: seen that in previous campaigns and again this time pressuring
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: the president to step down. That keep talking about threats
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: to democracy and how Donald Trump is the great threat
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: to democracy.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: That don't seem to have a great deal of respect
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: for the democratic process themselves.
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well, as always, politics in the US is a
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: bit like the portrait of Dorian Gray, and he's sort
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: of accusing your opponent of doing the things you're doing yourself.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's quite right.
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: As Trump said on the weekend, what did he ever
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: do for democracy? He took a bullet for democracy, that's
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: what he did. And so yeah, look, I agree, we've
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: heard all the usual overtures. We can't let Trump be
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: back in the White House. He'll be a dictator, even
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: though he wasn't in the last round. He'll be, you know,
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: whatever the accusation is, he'll be. And of course the
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: American people now have the benefit of seeing what came
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: under the Trump presidency, which was an incredible economy, a
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: secure border, almost Middle East peace by the way.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: So I think you'll find that the.
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: Mood has changed a lot out there in the US
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: and we're starting to see people coming out of their shells,
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: which is ensuring.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Well, you've never been shy about expressing your support. You've
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: met with the president. There's a picture of you and
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: him together that you've shared. What can you tell us
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: about your own personal interaction with him and what a
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: second Trump term will mean for Australia and for that
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: US alliance. Can you see, for example, Kevin Rudd remaining
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: in that crucial position given some of the horrendous things
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: he has said about President Trump in the past.
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: Well, I noticed that everybody seems to be backpedaling now
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: at one hundred miles an hour as the Trump presidency
• 9:27
  Speaker 8: gets closer to a reality. The forty seventh president of
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: the United States, from my own personal point of view,
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: found him to be incredibly engaging. I mean, I think
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: this is the terrible thing that left don't want to
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: admit when it comes to Donald Trump. He's a consummate professional,
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: He is personable, he is funny, and he listens to people,
• 9:44
  Speaker 8: And I mean, I know that runs against the narrative
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: kind of say by the outset that and this station
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: and yourself are precluded from this prijority of that I'm
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: going to say, but I actually don't care what anyone
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: in the media anywhere says about anything, let alone Donald J. Trump,
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: And I certainly don't care what celebrities say. It is
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: just intriguing to see these people in real life. They
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: are human beings. As to the Australian scenario, look, I
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: mean I think people will scramble now to talk about
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: him in favorable terms, you know.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: As they should, Oh absolutely, And I think he was
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: in many ways positive for Australia, particularly when you look
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: at how he handled China that's rarely spoken about, and
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: of course other successes internationally, including those peace deals. But
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: back on Kamala, it wasn't long ago when even the
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: most left of leftist publications were admitting that the Democrats
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: have a Kamala problem.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: The Atlantic among them.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: They've described her career as you know, this rising star
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: who's ended up being a damp squib, and how she's
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: just hasn't got a single vote cast for her for
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: these primaries. But now she's been presented as this visionary,
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: this amazing woman of color who's going to change the world.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: The change in narrative is just so dramatic and almost comical.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: How do you think she will go with the media,
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: because she is going to have a honeymoon period if
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: she does end up being the candidate, and that honeymoon
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: may last all the way to the November poll.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it could well.
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: I mean you can almost hear the collective groan from
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: Hollywood and the media in the US saying, here we go,
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: We're going to have to fall into line now.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: But that's just me.
• 11:36
  Speaker 8: Maybe I'm wrong, but it does seem to me to
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: be an incredible feat to try to get this online.
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: I mean, we've heard the vice president talk in riddles.
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: She talks all over the shop. She talks in a
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: form of words salad, and I think Donald Trump actually
• 11:51
  Speaker 8: described it to Tucker Tack Carlson as being almost like
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: talking in rhyme. You know, it's sort of this kind
• 11:57
  Speaker 8: of you know, everything that was is and everything that
• 11:59
  Speaker 8: might be is maybe, And you know, I mean, who
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: knows that.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: That's, by the way, is.
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: Not an uncommon feature of political speak, and that's why
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: I think President Trump relates so well to people because
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: he just gets in front of the camera and says
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: what he thinks. And it's not always what people want
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: to hear, but at least it's coming from a place
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: of unscripted nature usually. So look, I don't know. I
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: think it's going to be an interesting exercise. But you
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: can guarantee she'll be front and center on programs like
• 12:25
  Speaker 8: The View, and she'll be all over you know, the
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: Golden Globes, and she'll be dancing with Oprah and you know,
• 12:32
  Speaker 8: I mean, it's just ready to go.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: You mentioned words salads. She's known for those and also
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: for her laugh just laughing at sometimes inappropriate times. Let's
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: have a look at some of her performances during the debates.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Some things you can, many things you can.
• 12:52
  Speaker 9: Let's let the senator answer.
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean I would just say, hey, Joe, it's
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: said a saying that we can't.
• 12:59
  Speaker 10: Let's see, yes we can, must be procrusional, yes we.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Can, oh dear.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: And six months into her role as vice president, she
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: still had not gone down to the southern border, despite
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: the fact that she was the borders are charged with
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: fixing that problem, and listen to this interview with MBC
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: that's become viral again.
• 13:25
  Speaker 11: We are going to the border.
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: We've been to the border, so this whole, this whole
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: thing about the border.
• 13:31
  Speaker 11: We've been to the border. We've been to the border.
• 13:34
  Speaker 11: You haven't been to the border, and I haven't been
• 13:37
  Speaker 11: to Europe.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: She hasn't been to Europe either, Alex She has now
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: gone to the border once June twenty twenty one, down
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: in El Paso, Texas. And I think that failure as
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: the borders are, this is one of the very top
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: issues in the US, along with the cost of living crisis, inflation,
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: is the record numbers who are flooding in a legally
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: through that southern border, and she owns a lot of that.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: How do you think she'll be judged if she is
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: the candidate, if they do stick with her, how will
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: she dodge responsibility for the illegal immigration crisis?
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean it's a massive issue.
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: I mean we're hearing reports that there are as many
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: as ten, fifteen, eighteen million people that have come across
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: the border. And even Trump himself, I think has taken
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: aim at some of the usual conservative allies around the
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: South American take us by saying, look, they're just letting
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: people into the country, dumping their prisons, dumping all in
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: our good nix and so on. So it's a massive failure.
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: I think this is probably arguably the biggest failing of
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: the last fifty years in the United States to have
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: this mass migration now now coming through. So she shouldn't
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: be judged well. None of the Biden administration should be
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: judged well. But they'll be judged by the usual suspects,
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: the managerial class, Hollywood celebrities, singers, and buy newspaper outlets
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: that want to put their own shine on what it
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: actually happened and what actually didn't happen. And that's the
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: problem here. I think the problem is a lot of
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: this will get swept under the rug. That's why it's
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: so important that we have platforms where we can talk
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: about this stuff. You won't see it on many of
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: these social media outlets, I can assure you, but you
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: may well see it on Twitter.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I suspect.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Now to the UK, I talked about Kevin Rudd and
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: some of the things he has said about President Trump
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: and how you can go on with with that possible
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: Trump administration in his current role, the UK has got
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: even more serious troubles because the new Labor government. You
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: got the Foreign Secretary there, David Lammy, who's called Trump
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: a neo Nazi sociopath. I mean, how do you move
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: on from that? We know Trump can hold a grudge.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: What can this mean for the US UK alliance?
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I think people once again, we've got
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: to see a lot of backpedaling over the next little period.
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: I suspect, but I mean these words almost have no
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: meaning anymore. The left just use them in the most
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: ambiguous ridiculous. I mean the number of times people have
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: been called white supremacists. So someone called JD. Vans a
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: white supremacist in the last forty eight hours, and of
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: course his wife is from India, I think, or the
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: family are from India. So I mean, none of it,
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: it's just nonsense.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: What does it do though?
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: I think it does leave a lot of damage, And
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: of course we know that President Trump does have a
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: long memory, so I don't think it's a healthy thing.
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: And I hope that people would in the various countries
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: of our alliance would see that and be a little
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: bit more realistic about their language. I mean, they can
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: say what they like, but we've got bigger fish to
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: fry here with the Alliance.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: And we've got local politicians, including Zoey Daniel and the
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: Greens leader Adam Bant, all scared mongering about a second
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: Trump term, saying that it's going to be terrible for
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: the world for climate change, the world's going to burn.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: What's your response to that and what will.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: It mean for our energy policy if there is a
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: Trump term where they walk away from Paris again, where
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: they become energy independent and they really focus on drilling
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: as much as they can to bring home that advantage.
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well, let's hope it brings some common sense back
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: to global energy policy full stop. I mean, you know
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: his line is drill, baby, drill. Couldn't agree more. I mean,
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: you know, we need to be in a position now
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: where we get the cheapest power in the world, and
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: we've got it. We've got it here, We've got everything
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: we need. We just need to get some sense back
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: into that debate, and so I welcome it. I mean,
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: at the moment I knew Donald J. Trump was the
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: real deal was when he pulled out of Paris. I
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: thought that was one of the greatest things the politicians
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: ever done.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: And let's hope it happens again.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Senator Alexander, thank you so much for your time. Really
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: do appreciate your insights, and let's talk more about the
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: energy and climate change policy. I'm joined now by Steam
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: geologist professor Ian Plymer. I mentioned the Greens leader Adam
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Bandt here's urging Americans to reject Donald Trump.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: He tweeted this.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: He said, a second Donald Trump term would be dangerous
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: for the climate, for already marginalized communities, and for the
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: growing threat of.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Far right extremism.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: I hope Americans use their voting power in the upcoming
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: election to stop this from happening. Big respect to Joe
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Biden for making what would have been a very difficult
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: decision overnight. The new Democrat presidential candidate must do all
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: they can to keep Trump out of office.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: But it's interesting.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Ian, because he's American counterpart, you could say, presidential nominee
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: for the American Green Party, doctor Jill Steins. She seems
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: to think the threat comes from the other side. She tweeted,
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden has been removed from power by the same
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: anti democratic forces that wrig the field for him in
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty and skip the primary to anoint him in
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty four.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Don't be fooled.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: The same densey elites that put him in power will
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: replace him with another tool for Wall Street and the
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: war machine. Professor Plymer, what do you make of Adam
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: Vance's comments and what do you think a second Trump
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: term will mean for the planet and for the threat
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: of global warming?
• 19:38
  Speaker 12: Well, the American voter would say, who the hell is
• 19:41
  Speaker 12: Adam Bank? You know, we've got to own WeDo.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: We don't have Australian weirdos.
• 19:46
  Speaker 12: So to call Trump dangerous, we've already had him from
• 19:51
  Speaker 12: one term. You can already see what he's done. And
• 19:55
  Speaker 12: was he dangerous? No, He created more jobs, especially for
• 19:58
  Speaker 12: marginalized people. He closed the border, which actually meant that
• 20:03
  Speaker 12: poor people didn't have competition from illegals for jobs.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: His energy policies.
• 20:09
  Speaker 12: Made America great again. So Adam Bend is showing that
• 20:13
  Speaker 12: he's suffering from a severe dose of Trump de arrangement syndrome.
• 20:17
  Speaker 12: No one listens to him in the US. No one
• 20:19
  Speaker 12: should listen to her in this country. The US has
• 20:22
  Speaker 12: got enough for their own widows.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: And for him to be tweeting about far right extremism
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: when We're seeing what's happened since October seven right here
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: in Australia, in our country, in our cities across Australia,
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: were far left activists intimidating members of the Jewish community,
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: and a lot of people who seem to be of
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: the same political persuasion as the Greens participating in behavior
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: that is frankly UnAustralian and should be condemned. Let's talk
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: about the tills. Zoe daniels I mentioned her earlier. She
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: was on Inside As yesterday also talking about the perils
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: of a second Trump term.
• 21:06
  Speaker 13: And I think anyone who thinks Trump has changed as
• 21:09
  Speaker 13: a result of the assassination attempt is living in a
• 21:12
  Speaker 13: parallel universe. We saw him wind back Barack Obama's initiatives
• 21:17
  Speaker 13: on renewable energy, we saw him pull out of Paris.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Now, what will a second term mean for net zero ambitions?
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: That is something that has been embraced in the West,
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: from the UK to the US to hear. If Trump
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: walks away from net zero, we'll see a domino effect
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: with other nations following well.
• 21:41
  Speaker 12: Trump's already shown his colors on this. He wants to
• 21:44
  Speaker 12: drill to get more gas and Oidl. He wants to
• 21:47
  Speaker 12: again get out of Paris. He wants to make renewables competity.
• 21:51
  Speaker 12: No one objects to renewables, They just have to be
• 21:54
  Speaker 12: on a level playing field. And that level playing field
• 21:57
  Speaker 12: is without subsidies. Because Trump, with his business background, is
• 22:01
  Speaker 12: looking at costs. What are the costs to the average American?
• 22:05
  Speaker 12: What are the costs for the country as a nation?
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 22:09
  Speaker 12: I think if Trump does get out of Paris and
• 22:12
  Speaker 12: does stop subsidies for renewables, the rest of the world
• 22:16
  Speaker 12: will be not competing on energy. It won't be a
• 22:19
  Speaker 12: level playing field. The US will be way in front,
• 22:22
  Speaker 12: and that may well stimulate some change. And I think
• 22:25
  Speaker 12: that change is coming because the costs of electricity have
• 22:28
  Speaker 12: almost got up tenfold around the world, especially in the
• 22:31
  Speaker 12: Western world, and people are saying, no, that's enough. We
• 22:34
  Speaker 12: once had cheap, reliable electricity. Why should we actually have
• 22:38
  Speaker 12: electricity now that's very expensive. So Zoe Daniel and Adam
• 22:43
  Speaker 12: Band these are a job destroyers, you know, why not
• 22:47
  Speaker 12: have an opinion from someone who's not a teal or
• 22:49
  Speaker 12: someone who's not.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: In the Grand Party.
• 22:51
  Speaker 12: Why not go to the bush and just get someone
• 22:53
  Speaker 12: who runs their own business who might actually be a
• 22:56
  Speaker 12: nice person, might able to be demonstrate some judgment, might
• 22:59
  Speaker 12: be looking at costs because they employed there. I can
• 23:02
  Speaker 12: think of a mate of mine who runs a workshop
• 23:05
  Speaker 12: as a business in Breckenhill, Randall Jones. Now go and
• 23:08
  Speaker 12: talk to him. He's a Trump lover. Go and talk
• 23:10
  Speaker 12: to him. Talk to the average person. Don't talk to
• 23:13
  Speaker 12: your greens, don't talk to your teals, because you'll just
• 23:16
  Speaker 12: get Trump derangement syndrame.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: You know you talked about Trump's desire to drill, baby drill,
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: and you saw America was energy independent in his first term.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: How important is that as a policy objective in the
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: States for the country to be energy independent.
• 23:39
  Speaker 12: Well, oil and gas are a newbal resource, so you've
• 23:41
  Speaker 12: got to keep drilling to replace what you use. It's
• 23:44
  Speaker 12: absolutely vital for the US and for Australia not to
• 23:48
  Speaker 12: be dependent upon other countries for their energy, not to
• 23:53
  Speaker 12: be dependent upon the seaways for their energy. And in
• 23:56
  Speaker 12: this country we don't have enough oil on our land.
• 24:01
  Speaker 12: We should be drilling from all. We should be actually
• 24:04
  Speaker 12: not using solar and wind, where we're absolutely dependent upon
• 24:09
  Speaker 12: the Chinese for the solar panels and for the turbines
• 24:14
  Speaker 12: for the wind generation. So I think he's absolutely the
• 24:17
  Speaker 12: right track. And especially in times where there's a little
• 24:20
  Speaker 12: bit of international tension, you need to be independent. You
• 24:23
  Speaker 12: need to be able to do everything on your own
• 24:25
  Speaker 12: land mass, and that's what Trump wants to do. By
• 24:29
  Speaker 12: doing it on your own land mass, what do you
• 24:31
  Speaker 12: do you create jobs?
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: There is that also, how isolated will Australia be if
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: we continue with our current nuclear ban. Even in the States,
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: even without Trump, both the Democrats and Republicans have recently
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: voted to accelerate their nuclear projects.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: We seem to be an outlier in well.
• 24:57
  Speaker 12: There are hundreds of nuclear power facilities around the world.
• 25:00
  Speaker 12: We are the anomaly. We are becoming the laughing stock
• 25:03
  Speaker 12: because we export huge amounts of uranium and we import
• 25:07
  Speaker 12: devices from China which make our energy very, very expensive.
• 25:11
  Speaker 12: So we are already isolating ourselves by being the moral
• 25:16
  Speaker 12: anomally where we don't like electrons that have come from
• 25:20
  Speaker 12: nuclear decay, a natural process. We don't want that. So
• 25:24
  Speaker 12: what we're doing is isolating ourselves. We're increasing the cost
• 25:27
  Speaker 12: of our energy. That increases the cost of manufacturing, That
• 25:30
  Speaker 12: increases the cost of everything in this country, and it
• 25:33
  Speaker 12: also decreases the amount of the number of jobs that
• 25:36
  Speaker 12: we have in this country. So by not being sensible
• 25:39
  Speaker 12: and by not using the thousands of years of uranium,
• 25:43
  Speaker 12: coal and gas which we have in this country, then
• 25:46
  Speaker 12: we are putting ourselves strategically in a very dangerous position.
• 25:50
  Speaker 12: We don't have enough oil which has come from Australian soil.
• 25:54
  Speaker 12: We need to drill, baby, drill.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: You've got to get that on a T shirt. Professor
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: Ian Plymer, thank you so much for your time this evening.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Thank you for having me.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: Still to come a bumper edition of Lefties Losing It
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: and Alex Stein.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: And Vivid Ruanaswami welcome back.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: Now it's time for Lefties Losing It and we shall
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: get to some Kamala actions soon. But first, the Democrats
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: have a significant problem with weapon grade craziness in their side.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: A sizeable portion.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Of their voters believe insane conspiracy theories, from the Russian
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: collusion hoax, to the Fine People hoax, to the assassination
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: attempt Truthers.
• 26:47
  Speaker 14: People, somebody died and two feel injured.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: What do you think about that?
• 26:50
  Speaker 9: Mis Black bos Black.
• 26:52
  Speaker 15: I thought it was magnificently staged, It was professionally done.
• 26:56
  Speaker 15: It almost looked.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: Real, we were wait stage by who oh, by mister Trump.
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: Of course, I think it's holding a stage.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Now, before you say, well, that's just a few wacky people.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: Every political side has them. We are not talking about
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: a teeny tiny minority here. Thirty four percent of registered
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: Democrats believed Donald Trump staged his own assassination attempt, according
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: to a recent poll. That's one in three registered Dems
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: who believe Trump trusted a last millisecond head turn to
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: save his life and had three of his supporters shot,
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: one of them killed so he could stage an assassination
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: attempt and get that golden picture.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: These people are nuts and they.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Vote, so you just thought it was fake.
• 27:42
  Speaker 14: Of course, one person died in the crowd too, critically injured.
• 27:45
  Speaker 9: What happened there.
• 27:46
  Speaker 15: Pace, It wouldn't matter to Trump. Do you think he
• 27:48
  Speaker 15: cares if people died for him to be elected? That
• 27:51
  Speaker 15: doesn't mean anything to Trump.
• 27:53
  Speaker 14: Now, so you think that they planned from one hundred
• 27:55
  Speaker 14: and thirty yards away to shoot off the corner of
• 27:57
  Speaker 14: his ear and.
• 27:58
  Speaker 15: They never shot off the corner of it. That was
• 28:00
  Speaker 15: all done by the people hanging around him with a
• 28:02
  Speaker 15: stage probably staged.
• 28:04
  Speaker 14: Okay, so you think Trump maybe staged a fake assassination
• 28:08
  Speaker 14: for support.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: And why these Democrats so crazy? Well, it could be
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: the media that consume.
• 28:18
  Speaker 16: Why why don't we know that much? We know that
• 28:21
  Speaker 16: three people were shot, one person unfortunately was killed at
• 28:24
  Speaker 16: the rally. We don't know where they were sitting or
• 28:27
  Speaker 16: standing relative to him. We don't know why for nine
• 28:33
  Speaker 16: full seconds, Donald Trump was allowed to stand back up
• 28:39
  Speaker 16: during an active shooting, an active shooter situation. Yet they
• 28:43
  Speaker 16: allowed him to stand up in the middle of that,
• 28:48
  Speaker 16: you know, crisis and pose for a photo and this
• 28:54
  Speaker 16: pump the air so he could get the iconic photo.
• 28:58
  Speaker 16: And then they allowed him to stand up again outside
• 29:01
  Speaker 16: of the suv instead of just shoving him into the suv.
• 29:03
  Speaker 16: That seems really unusual. What is the actual injury to
• 29:07
  Speaker 16: Donald Trump's ear that's under that bandage? Shouldn't we know
• 29:10
  Speaker 16: that by now? It's weird and there doesn't seem to
• 29:13
  Speaker 16: be a whole lot of curiosity about it, you know
• 29:17
  Speaker 16: in the sort of media world you know my profession.
• 29:20
  Speaker 16: It's weird. Right, Where are the Foyers. Why isn't the
• 29:23
  Speaker 16: New York Times like aggressively pursuing his medical records?
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Yes, that's joy raid and anchor on MSNBC as for
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: lowering the temperature to stop the art and a reckless
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: rectric and lies around Trump painting him is some sort
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: of a modern day Hitler who is.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: A threat to democracy. Well, that didn't last long. Here
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: is IOC.
• 29:48
  Speaker 17: Donald Trump is also very old and a racist and
• 29:56
  Speaker 17: a neo Nazi. But anyways, I'm not even going to
• 29:58
  Speaker 17: talk about Trump right now.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: She's not going to talk about him other than calling
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: him a racist near Nazi. But I tell you who
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: are not assassination truthers. That's professional base ballers. Here is
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: Taylor Walls from the Tampa Bay Rays giving the Trump
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: fight fist pump during a game.
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: Two base head for Taylor Waalds and now he's a
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: scoring possession.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: And here are players from the Cardinals doing the ear
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: hold at fist pump double. Can you imagine these tributes
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: to Trump happening a few years ago.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: It would be unimaginable. Things have changed.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: Before we get to the real Kamala, Let's have a
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: look at THEEP and this scene is a case of
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: life imitating art.
• 30:54
  Speaker 16: I am not leaving, Potus is leaving going to run
• 31:00
  Speaker 16: for a second term.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: I'm going to run.
• 31:11
  Speaker 11: Let's go.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: Bot and this mash up all vape Selena Mayas and
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: vape Kamala Harris is uh, well, it's lefties losing a gold.
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: Words have many meanings, and sometimes instead of conveying our meaning,
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: they can suggest other meanings.
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: When we talk about the children of the community, they
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: are a children of the community.
• 31:35
  Speaker 18: Well, we are the United States of America because we
• 31:38
  Speaker 18: are united.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: And we are states.
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: Are the significance of the passage of time, right, the
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: significance of the passage of time. So when you think
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: about it, there is great significance to the passage of time.
• 31:51
  Speaker 16: Whatever we have in store cannot be known.
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: The past was once the future, the future is, i
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: should say unknown.
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: We've got to take this stuff seriously as seriously as
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: you are, because you have been forced to have to
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: take it seriously.
• 32:08
  Speaker 16: Ob city is a serious disease and it needs to
• 32:11
  Speaker 16: be taken seriously.
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: Certain issues are just settled, clearly, we're not. No, that's right,
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: and that's why I do believe that we are living
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: sadly in real unsettled times.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: Now to more, Kamala, remember when she was finally asked
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: about her failures as the borders are we.
• 32:30
  Speaker 11: Are going to the border. We've been to the border.
• 32:32
  Speaker 11: So this whole, this whole, this whole thing about the border.
• 32:36
  Speaker 11: We've been to the border. We've been to the border.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: You haven't been to the border.
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: And I haven't been to Europe.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: And don't ever have Kamala try to explain international conflicts.
• 32:48
  Speaker 19: Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to
• 32:54
  Speaker 19: another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country, Russia
• 32:58
  Speaker 19: is a powerful country, Russia to invade a smaller country
• 33:02
  Speaker 19: called Ukraine. So basically, that's wrong.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: That's wrong. Yes it is.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: And by the way, she was speaking to adults there,
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: it wasn't some discussion with fourth graders. Here is Kamala
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: talking to some young uns.
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: You guys are going to see You're gonna literally see
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: the creators on.
• 33:20
  Speaker 10: The moon with your own eyes, with your own eyes,
• 33:25
  Speaker 10: I'm telling you.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Poor kids. At least she didn't tell them her I
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: don't know pronouns. Good afternoon.
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: I want to love them these leaders for coming in
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: to have this very important discussion about some of the
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: most pressing issues of our time. I am Kamala Harris,
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: my punouns are she and her? I'm a woman sitting
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: at the table wearing a blue suit.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: And if you're wondering why she has never won a
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: presidential primary, well here's a reminder.
• 33:58
  Speaker 9: Vice President, have a point there.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Some things you can, many things you can.
• 34:02
  Speaker 9: Let's let the senator answer.
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean I would just say, hey, Joe, it's
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: said as saying that we can't.
• 34:09
  Speaker 10: Let's say yes we can. Let's be controcusial, yes we can.
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: Because he reminds me of that guy in the Wizard
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: of Oz. You know, when you pull up the curtain,
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: it's a really small dude.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: Okay, And who can forget this golden moment when Tulsea
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Gabbard demolished Kamala and her rotten record.
• 34:38
  Speaker 18: Senator Harris says she's proud of her record as a
• 34:41
  Speaker 18: prosecutor and that she'll be a prosecutor president.
• 34:44
  Speaker 9: But I'm deeply.
• 34:44
  Speaker 11: Concerned about this record.
• 34:46
  Speaker 18: There are too many examples to cite. But she put
• 34:49
  Speaker 18: over fifteen hundred people in jail for marijuana violations and
• 34:52
  Speaker 18: then laughed about it when she was asked if she
• 34:54
  Speaker 18: ever smoked marijuana.
• 34:56
  Speaker 11: She blocked evidence.
• 34:58
  Speaker 18: She blocked evidence that I would have freedom an innocent
• 35:01
  Speaker 18: man from death row until the courts forced her to
• 35:04
  Speaker 18: do so.
• 35:05
  Speaker 11: She kept people in.
• 35:06
  Speaker 18: Prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor
• 35:09
  Speaker 18: for the state of California, and she fought to keep
• 35:12
  Speaker 18: cash fail system in place that impacts poor people in
• 35:16
  Speaker 18: the worst kind of way.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: She's so likable, so relatable, so down with the kids,
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: and as always Wakanda forever.
• 35:27
  Speaker 11: Paid for by Kamala Harris.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: Look, she really is down with the kids. She's out
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: there on those streets.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Child.
• 35:34
  Speaker 10: Our basic freedoms are being tested, Madam BP.
• 35:37
  Speaker 16: I know you've been sure having a cross country What
• 35:40
  Speaker 16: are you hearing?
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, girl, I'm out here in these streets, and let
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: me tell you you're right to Raji. There is so
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: much at stake in this moment. The majority of us
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: believe in.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: Freedom still to come.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: Alex don joins me with some exclusive and musa, I
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: don't want to miss that.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: Welcome back.
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: Joining me now is host of Prime Time with Alex
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: Stein from Blaze Television is our favorite Texan Alex Stein.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: Let's talk about former Republican presidential candidate Vivic Ramaswami.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: He must be feeling a bit smug today.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: He predicted what looks happened today early is April twenty
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: twenty three, he was on the record saying Joe Biden
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: will not be the Democrat nominee for president.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: There's a myth that President Biden's running for president.
• 36:38
  Speaker 14: I think they just put a brain dead, hollowed out
• 36:40
  Speaker 14: husk of a human being in the White.
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: House because that's more convenient for that.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: The risk is a thinking person could change their mind.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: They don't want somebody who could change their mind.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: They want Joe Biden.
• 36:48
  Speaker 14: My words, Joe Biden will not be the nominee in
• 36:50
  Speaker 14: the Democratic College. We know he's not even the president
• 36:53
  Speaker 14: of the United States. He's a puppet for the managerial class.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Step up and be.
• 36:57
  Speaker 14: Honest about who you're actually going to put up so we.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: Can have an artist debate. Biden should step aside.
• 37:02
  Speaker 9: Shall we can see whether it's Newsome.
• 37:03
  Speaker 14: Or Michelle Obama or whoever else.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Are just tell us the truth.
• 37:06
  Speaker 9: Should we can have an antiba.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: In an interview after that infamous debate, he told Fox
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: News he wasn't surprised that Democrats were panicking, and again
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: restated his view.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: That Biden will be booted out.
• 37:21
  Speaker 20: I spoke to you pre debate, and you told me
• 37:23
  Speaker 20: Biden would not be the nominee. You've been saying it
• 37:25
  Speaker 20: over and over and over post debate. I suspect you
• 37:30
  Speaker 20: still believe that, But tell me how it plays out.
• 37:34
  Speaker 14: Look, I think that the reality is the managerial class
• 37:37
  Speaker 14: around Biden has lost their use for him. This has
• 37:39
  Speaker 14: been obvious to me since last year. Play out the incentives.
• 37:43
  Speaker 14: He is not the strongest candidate they can put up,
• 37:45
  Speaker 14: and these people, they have stopped at nothing to keep
• 37:47
  Speaker 14: Donald J.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: Trump out of office.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: Alex Viveck, I don't know he's got some sort of
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: nostrodamis like abilities because a lot of people may have
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: thought that, but he put his reputation on the line,
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: said it on the record publicly. Uh, tell me what
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: you make of today's momentous news.
• 38:05
  Speaker 21: Well, it's a huge day in American politics having a
• 38:08
  Speaker 21: sitting president saying that he's going to, you know, withdraw
• 38:11
  Speaker 21: from his campaign while still being the president. So it
• 38:13
  Speaker 21: kind of shows you that if he's not capable to
• 38:15
  Speaker 21: even run a campaign, he's definitely not capable to be
• 38:18
  Speaker 21: the president. But you know, Vivek is not so much
• 38:21
  Speaker 21: clairvoyant as much as he is honest.
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: Anybody that's actually been paying attention.
• 38:25
  Speaker 21: Knows that Joe Biden has been a walking, talking potato
• 38:29
  Speaker 21: for the past four years, and Vivek is obviously one correct,
• 38:33
  Speaker 21: but it's because he's so dialed in and he's paying attention.
• 38:37
  Speaker 21: And that's the problem here in America riad is that
• 38:39
  Speaker 21: nobody's paying attention. And now I think people will. I
• 38:42
  Speaker 21: think people were going to start paying attention. And that's
• 38:44
  Speaker 21: why they did this as a last ditch effort, because
• 38:46
  Speaker 21: they knew that Joe Biden's not popular enough to even
• 38:49
  Speaker 21: be close to Donald Trump. After Donald Trump put his
• 38:52
  Speaker 21: fist in the air and you know, defeated.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: A terrorist attack.
• 38:55
  Speaker 21: Uh So, now this is their Hail Mary, last ditch
• 38:58
  Speaker 21: effort to try to put a one in. And I
• 39:00
  Speaker 21: wouldn't be surprised if Michelle Obama or you know, Pete
• 39:03
  Speaker 21: boodhaj Edge the first gay vice president.
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: You know, it's going to be something like that.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: In my opinion, Well, how.
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: Do you think the American public will react? I mean,
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: I'm sure they're going to have a boost the Democrats,
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: they're going to have some sort of a honeymoon honeymoon period.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: The media is going to be on side, and they're.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Already trying to rewrite Kamala's backstory, painting her as some
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: sort of inspirational figure is going to bring the country together.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Is it going to work?
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: We've seen them fortify an election in the past. Could
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: they pull it off again?
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: You know, Rita, I want to be like Vivek and
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: I want to be honest.
• 39:46
  Speaker 21: Even people on the left, I feel are a little misogynistic.
• 39:50
  Speaker 21: And I know that sounds crazy, but I do believe people,
• 39:52
  Speaker 21: even on the left, are not going to want a
• 39:54
  Speaker 21: woman president. I don't think people mind having a woman
• 39:56
  Speaker 21: vice president, but I think, you know a lot of
• 39:59
  Speaker 21: gay men are What is that crazy to say that
• 40:02
  Speaker 21: a lot of people are not going to want a
• 40:03
  Speaker 21: female president.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: The reason why it's crazy?
• 40:06
  Speaker 16: Well, the reason why?
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Well what then?
• 40:10
  Speaker 21: I think that people don't want to be both president
• 40:12
  Speaker 21: so unlikable.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: If they just put up a female who was actually
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: accomplished and likable and electable, she would have won.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: But they put up Hillary and now they've got Kamala.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: It's like they're determined to make the female presidential candidates fail.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Well, they had to go to cheat.
• 40:32
  Speaker 21: You know, she's going to be the president by default
• 40:34
  Speaker 21: because of all of Joe Biden's work.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Listen, you're right. If a woman was capable, she could
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: be president.
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: Pakistan's elected a woman, you know, they elected a woman
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: decades ago in the UK as leader. I'm sure Americans
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: are ready, but for the right woman, They're not just
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: going to vote for anybody on the vet. Gramaswami, I
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: think he would be absolutely a crucial person to have
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: in a Trump White House, to have someone there with
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: his judgment looking at for the president, giving him advice.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: Do you see that happening or is there a rift
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: between him and the Trump camp?
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: Oh? Not any riffs whatsoever.
• 41:18
  Speaker 21: You could just see Eric Trump was talking about how
• 41:20
  Speaker 21: he's actually disappointed that he's not going to see a
• 41:22
  Speaker 21: vague debating against Kamala Harris or Kamala Harris's future vice
• 41:26
  Speaker 21: president candidate, whoever.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: That would be so No, I.
• 41:28
  Speaker 21: Think the Trump campaign loves a vake. You know, he
• 41:30
  Speaker 21: has a lot of libertarian policies. Donald Trump said he
• 41:32
  Speaker 21: wants to put a libertarian in his cabinet. So I
• 41:35
  Speaker 21: think Vivek Ramaswami being such an eloquent speaker, being so professional,
• 41:39
  Speaker 21: being successful, and his connection with JD.
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: Vance, I think there's no doubt in my mind that.
• 41:44
  Speaker 21: He will have a spot in the Donald Trump cabinet
• 41:47
  Speaker 21: of twenty twenty four.
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: I think he would be an enormous asset. And he
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: talked about what an eloquent speaker he is. I think
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: he gave one of the very best speeches at the
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: Republican National Convention.
• 42:00
  Speaker 18: Let's have a quick look, because you know what, Fear
• 42:04
  Speaker 18: has been infectious in this country, but courage can be
• 42:07
  Speaker 18: contagious too.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: That too, is what it means to.
• 42:09
  Speaker 9: Be an American.
• 42:14
  Speaker 14: And you know what, if you're at home and you
• 42:18
  Speaker 14: disagree with everything I just said, our message to you
• 42:20
  Speaker 14: is this. We will still defend it to the death,
• 42:24
  Speaker 14: your right to say it, because that is who we
• 42:27
  Speaker 14: are as Americans.
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: The reception he got was absolutely fantastic. But then he
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: was harassed by you out on the street. He was
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: on the phone trying to add a no close some
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: important deal and this happened.
• 42:43
  Speaker 21: Literallylator I j But then he named his son Bank
• 42:48
  Speaker 21: after you.
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: What do you mean about that?
• 42:51
  Speaker 14: We've been good friends for a long time.
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: But we've been good friends, you ask him many.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: In law school, though, right, we were good.
• 42:58
  Speaker 14: Good ones for a long time, So it's not after you.
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: Alex you've just a trouble tell us about that encounter.
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: Did you end up catching up with him.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: Later and getting some straight answers?
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: And are you suggesting that the future Vice president jd
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: Vance named his son after the vic.
• 43:21
  Speaker 21: This is breaking Sky News Australia exclusive news. If people
• 43:25
  Speaker 21: don't realize that jd Vance I vike Ramaswami were law
• 43:29
  Speaker 21: school buddies, also with jd Vance's.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Wife, they were very good friends.
• 43:33
  Speaker 21: And I know Vivek is a popular Indian name, but
• 43:35
  Speaker 21: vivike Ramaswami's a popular guy.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: I would have no shame.
• 43:38
  Speaker 21: In naming my son after Viveke Ramaswami, especially considering, you know,
• 43:42
  Speaker 21: it's a it's a culturally significant name. So I just
• 43:45
  Speaker 21: was bringing that up because I thought it was kind
• 43:46
  Speaker 21: of a funny story that not enough people were talking
• 43:48
  Speaker 21: about that the two people that were basically the front
• 43:51
  Speaker 21: runners for the vice president, you know, the vice presidency
• 43:54
  Speaker 21: for Donald Trump, are so connected that one of their
• 43:57
  Speaker 21: sons is named after him.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: So it was kind of a funny bit.
• 43:59
  Speaker 21: But now his video is going viral, so you know,
• 44:01
  Speaker 21: we broke it here on Sky News that jd Vance
• 44:05
  Speaker 21: named his third son or his third child after Vivek Brahmoswami,
• 44:11
  Speaker 21: it is.
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: The party unity cannot be denied.
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: But what do you make of the reactions we have
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: seen in the past week to the Republican National.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: Convention, to the shooting.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: Now, it's been a good week since that attempted assassination.
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: Some of the commentary from the US media has been unhinged.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: We're talking about people who are.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: Anchors on major networks like MSNBC.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: Saying the most insane.
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: Stuff on air, and no wonder, a third of republic Democrats,
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: I should say a third of Democrats seem to think
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: that the entire assassination attempt was some sort of a
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: plot engineered by Donald Trump.
• 45:02
  Speaker 21: You know, during COVID they called all the right wingers
• 45:05
  Speaker 21: conspiracists or conspiracy theorists. Now everybody on the left is
• 45:08
  Speaker 21: a conspiracy theorist, so you know, it's kind of just
• 45:10
  Speaker 21: the kettle calling the pot black or whatever the saying is.
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: It seems very hypocritical.
• 45:15
  Speaker 21: But you know, the worst and most repugnant thing is
• 45:17
  Speaker 21: not only did MSNBC use a fake backdrop because they
• 45:20
  Speaker 21: didn't have the courage to actually go to the RNC,
• 45:22
  Speaker 21: but then Whoopy Goldberg had the audacity to basically attack
• 45:26
  Speaker 21: Kai Trump, seventeen year old granddaughter to President Trump.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: So these people are sick. They'll go after anything.
• 45:31
  Speaker 21: They'll go after a kid speaking on the biggest stage
• 45:34
  Speaker 21: in the world.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: How stressful that would be.
• 45:36
  Speaker 21: And to even say something negative about that just shows
• 45:39
  Speaker 21: you how repugnant their personalities really are on the And
• 45:42
  Speaker 21: it's not all.
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: Lefties, but the ones of the mainstream media.
• 45:44
  Speaker 21: They seem to all have a pattern of just insane
• 45:48
  Speaker 21: rhetoric that is just unfair in my personal opinion.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: Oh look, I absolutely agree with you.
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: I thought Whoope's comments which just deplorable to have a
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: go at Kai, who's a child, to say.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: That she was trying to humanize her.
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: Grandfather, as if that's a bad thing or as if
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: that's something that is false, and that was her objection
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: to that speech. And then you had Joy Behar having
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: a go at Trump for saying that it feels that
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: God protected him, saying that that's an anti Christian thing
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: to say, that's a narcissistic thing to say. Christians don't
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: talk that way, As if she would have any clue
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: I looked how Christians talk. Now let's get back to
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: you and your antics, because you also made a cameoon
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: on Piers Morgan's Uncensored last week.
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: I don't think you were invited on the program. You
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: just did this.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: Thank you transgender. I don't know, Hey, get out of here, man.
• 46:51
  Speaker 12: What the hell Jesus Christ with these lunatic Republicans?
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: Oh that was fun. He didn't react too well. Tell
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: me what happened after that little incident.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: No, Sank was very frustrated.
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: You know, he'd actually spoken not so highly of me,
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: but he did like that.
• 47:08
  Speaker 21: I go to public meetings and confront politicians, even though
• 47:11
  Speaker 21: him and I aren't politically aligned. But the point I
• 47:14
  Speaker 21: was just trying to make is that at that exact
• 47:16
  Speaker 21: time I was looking and watching the interview, he was
• 47:18
  Speaker 21: over there being sympathetic to the assassin that tried to
• 47:21
  Speaker 21: kill President Trump.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: So I just I have to.
• 47:23
  Speaker 21: Go there and interact or interrupt it because I just
• 47:26
  Speaker 21: didn't like his rhetoric. And yeah, I know that probably
• 47:28
  Speaker 21: crossed the line, but this is Sank. This is a
• 47:30
  Speaker 21: guy that said at one point he was bestiality should
• 47:33
  Speaker 21: be legal.
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: He did say this, so you know, he's a very
• 47:36
