  Speaker 1: The reform it tonight, big show, big issues like trouble
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: already at the Paris Olympics, at a soccer match with
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Israeli team. And I've got something to say about one
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: member of the Murdoch family I think threatens not just
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Sky News, for the whole Murdoch media empire. This has
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: got to be said also tonight one of the Albaneza
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: government's worst minister's quits after dividing the country and cultural cringe.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Why has the afl us an American pop singer in
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: decline to be the star of Australia's biggest sports events
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: one Australian act instead and a great speech that all
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the pro palacy and activists now trashing the joint should
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: hear well.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I have a message for these protesters. You have officially
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: become Iran's idiots.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: But first, now, before I get to that reshuffled to
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of this struggling government. As preparing, I
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: saw one of the most frightening things today Joe Barden,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: President of the United States, leader of the free world.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Leader when we've got a war raging in Europe, a
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: war in the Middle East, another one quite possible in Taiwan.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: These are such dangerous times. But have a look now
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: at this US president that has so much of the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: world's security resting in his hands. Today, Barden finally spoke
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: to the American people to explain why quit. Three days earlier,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: quit his bid to be re elected in November. And
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the way he started seemed to me he was about
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: to say he'd gone one step further. Quit as president
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: as well, and right now, because he clearly can't think straight.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Something has turned him into a wreck.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I'm speaking to from behind the resolute tesk in the
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Oval Office. In this sacred space, I'm surrounded by portraits
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: extraordinary American presidents. Thomas Jefferson wrote the immortal words that
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: guide this nation, George Washington, who showed us presidents are
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: not kings. Abraham Lincoln, who implored us to reject malice,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Franklin Roosevelt, who inspired us to reject fear. I revere
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: this office, but I love my country more. It's been
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: the honor of my life to serve as your president.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: But in the defense of democracy, which is a stake
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I think is more important than any title.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So quit now, right now. The message there is, of course,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: just nonsense. I mean, the idea that Donald Trump is
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: going to destroy democracy, that is such a hitler room whiting.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's just playing stupid, you know. And that's
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: why Biden says that to make wife Visce president kame
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: of the harrits to run instead against this man. Look,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: even if Donald Trump did want to be dictated, which
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: did I believe for a second, the US political system
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and culture would never allow it, not its courts and
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: its military, not its governors, not its press, not its
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: people have more faith in the US. But more worrying
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: than Buden's inflammatory hysteria is the way he said all that,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the way he performed today in front of the camera
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: has never been this bad. That Biden didn't have to
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: speak for long, just that eleven minutes. He'd rehearsed this
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: speech and only needed to read it out again from
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: an autoque. But now he couldn't.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Even manage that have come so far since my inauguration
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: and that day I told you I stood in the winter,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: We're stood in a winter, a peril and winter possibilities.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: When Van Franklin was asked as he emerged from the
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: convention going on whether the Founders have given America anoker republic.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Frank of a response was a republic if you can
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: keep it a republic, if you can keep it. In
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: this moment, we can see those we disagree with, not
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: as enemies but as fellow Americans. Can we do that
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: because character in public life still matter.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Something is clearly very very wrong with Joe Biden. Now,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: we talked to four Australian doctors today and here's what
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: they privately suggested. Barden maybe has a form of Parkinson's
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: which does affect the memory, among other things. Or maybe
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: it's a moderate form of dementia, or it's the early
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: stage of something called Louis body dementia, which stiffens up
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the muscles. It can give you a very shuffling walk.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Plus you know, episodes of confusion and memory loss and
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: poor attention and also big worries sometimes delusions. Yeah, despite
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: what you saw and heard there, Biden refu yes today
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: to quit his president, even though whatever he has makes
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: him totally incapable of performing his job.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: For the next six months, I'll be focused on doing
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: my job as president.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Six months like this, this president still to go. When
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: we see as the client, I mean, that's insane, it's
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: so dangerous when it's not just the US but the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: world needing leadership. America right now helping their allies in
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: two wars, preparing for a third with China, and this
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: bumbling wreck is its president joining me? Is James Morrow,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: hosts of the US Report on Sky News every Friday
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: at eight pm. James, this is the idea that this
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: guy doesn't have a health problem, which he says he does.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: He says he doesn't. That's clearly a joke. And the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: idea that he can keep serving as president for another
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: six months. That's a fraud.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Well, it's a fraud, Andrew. But it's been a fraud
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: for some time now. I mean I think it was
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: just twelve days ago. He got up and said, you know,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying in this race. I'm
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: in it to win it and all that. And then
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: suddenly we have this very bizarre situation which we've been
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: over here, you know, this whole thing, where suddenly he
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: disappears with COVID, he goes to Delaware, he quits the
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: race via a tweet and says I'll talk about it later,
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: and then he comes out and gives this very bizarre
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: speech today I thought it was bizarre because it didn't
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: answer any fundamental questions. It did not deal with his health,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: It did not even deal with the politics. He just said,
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: I'm passing the torch. And you know, it was clear
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: to anybody who was watching it that he was having
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: difficulty even with an event in that incredibly controlled environment
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: of the Oval Office, with a teleprompter, with aids, with family,
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: with everything else. You know, it was still there were
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: moments when he was having trouble getting through sentences.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: It's weird. And he was painted orange. You know, you
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: could see the little line under you know, just yeris
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: call him it is you know, it's that is one
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: sick puppy. And can you see him being replaced?
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Well, look, I actually think that there's every chance that
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: before this term of office is out, Kamala Harris is
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: president of the United States. And I think this for
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: a number of reasons, not the least of which is
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: that it actually makes sense strategically. I think for the
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Democrats to run with Kamala Harris as the actual president,
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: she gets all the advantages of incumbency. She's the vice president.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: There'd be no issue with that. But I think it's
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: that Joe is too stubborn to step down. I think
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: the Biden family has a lot of things they want
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: to secure, including a pardon for Hunter before they go anywhere.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: But you know, we saw the way things moved very
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: quickly to the point where Joe Biden decided that he
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: was going to have to pull out of the race because,
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: as Nancy Pelosi said, we can do this easy way
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: or the hard way. Well, that's still on the table.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: As far as I'm concerned.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I suspect you're right. I mean, it's going to be overwhelming.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Kamala Harris's best chance now of winning the election has
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: to become president and going with all the advantages of office.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: And when you see that, why not it's just a
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: question of his pride now. But another thing, James Barden
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: was apparently too sick with COVID or whatever he really
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: has got, or just to anti Israel, we don't know,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to welcome Israeli President Benjamin Netne to Washington this week.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Apparently we'll meet him later, but pro palason protests aside.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: The capital of Washington gave Neto a very heated reception,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: including stamping on the Israeli flag and also tearing down
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the American flag and burning it. Like I say, you
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: know you said the same. Many of these protests are
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: against not just Israel, but the West. But I thought
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Netnya in a speech to Congress this morning, our time
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: let them have it here is well.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I have a message for these protesters and the tyrants
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: of Tehran who hang gays from cranes and murder women
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: for not covering their hair. Are praising, promoting, and funding you.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: You have officially become Iran's useful idiots.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: James, one more show gram. I thought he put the
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: context of the war in Gaza very well.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Here is in the Middle East, Iran's access of terror
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: confronts America, Israel and are Arab friends. This is not
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: a clash of civilizations. It's a clash between barbarism and civilization.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Many don't have a clue what river and what see
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: they're talking about. They not only get an F in geography,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: they get an F in history. They call Israel a
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: colonialist state. Don't they know that the land of Israel
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: is where Abraham, Isaac and Jacob prayed, where Isaiah and
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Jeremiah preached, and where David and Solomon rood.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: What did you make of Mitya Who's speech to the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: US Congress.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Well, I thought it was pretty powerful stuff, Andrew, and
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: I think that you just you missed. My favorite bit
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: there was when he was talking about going on campuses
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: and seeing all these people with the Gays for Palestine signs,
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: and he said this is like seeing chickens for KFC,
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: which I thought was a great line. But you know,
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: it underlines, know this bigger point. It's not just anti Israel,
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: it's anti America. It's anti freedom, liberal democracy, all the
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: things that we all enjoy left or right. We saw
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: that with that, you know, unbelievable protest outside Union Station
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: where they tore down the American flag and replaced it
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: with a Palestinian flag, got into fights with the cops
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: and all this sort of stuff. But we also saw
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: recently that the head of Iran there Any and Supreme
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Leader tweeted his support for the campus protests here. And
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: this comes, you know, in the context of decades of
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Iran and Katar shoveling money into institutions in Australia in
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: the United States create their old Middle Eastern studies centers
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: and create the environment where kids are taught from the
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: very start to hate Israel.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: So true. Don't forget, of course, that China has also
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: been putting funding Confucius institutes in Australia the same sort
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: of agenda, you know, pro be pro a tyranny. Really,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: James Morrow, thank you so much for your time, appreciate it.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Back to Australian politics now. The Prime Minister today, Anthony Albanize,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: announced that two of his ministers are going to quit politics,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: including one of his worst, and on Sunday he's going
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: to announce their two replacements. But given the trouble as
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: governors in I mean the dead weight of some of
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the other ministers, I tell you I got to say
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: replace just two ministers. One is not even one of
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: his duds. It's Brendan O'Connor, Minister for Skills and Training,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: is off. But the second is very much one of
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Albanese's disass Indigenous Australians. Minister Linda Bernie. Now Bernie was
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: in charge of the referendum on the Voice last year.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: You know that moved to divitis by racing the constitution,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: an appalling idea badly damaged the government, bitterly divided the country.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: In the end, it was rejected by sixty percent of Australians.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: But Bernie today showed she still hasn't learned the lesson.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: People might think it is a defeat, there are some
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: very good things that came out of the referendum. I
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: am proud of the Prime Minister and his leadership. I'm
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: proud of First Nations people and I'm proud to have
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: been part of it.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: And in thanking her today, the Prime Minister smeared Australia
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: exaggerated our racism by repeating a dodgy claim of the kind.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Well that voice camp really fed on.
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: Linda was born into an Australia where she was treated
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: as a second class citizen, indeed wasn't recognized.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: In fact, Bernie was never a second class citizen. Sure
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: she's claimed that averaging to like her officially counted as
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: fauna under the law, but that's a complete myth. I mean,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: presenting her as a victim I think sells this country
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: short when she could have presented instead as a triumph
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: of this country's goodwill. Because I've spent weeks in Bernie's company,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: believe it or not, for a documentary were shooting ONEIRBC,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: and I know her mother was actually of Scottish background.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: She never met her Averaginal father until she was twenty eight.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: She was raised by her great aunt and uncle, brother
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: and sister. They were also Scottish background and surrounded by cousins,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: and she did well at a local school. She later
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: married a white man, great guy herself, had a great career,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Deputy leader of the New South Wales Labor Party of
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the federally minister. She's a very popular woman. She's warm,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: she's friendly. But I've got to say, put a politely
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: closed mind. Maybe she did very little good as Minister
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: for Indigenous Australis. You tried to tell me one thing
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: she did that was great. She pushed instead the failed
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: victim model, the failed apartheid model, as actually found to
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: my shock when I took her for that documentary. So
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the so called Yidini Aboriginal nation claimed around Cairns. It's
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: got a supposed prime minister, now a supposed police force.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: We even needed a pass to get in to see
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: the supposed foreign minister. And I thought Bernie would be
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: appalled by this aparthe instead she approved, I consider you
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: a fellow citizen, of fellow human being. I don't know
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: why there needs to be some sort of legal separation
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: between you and me. We're only to pass just to
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: come and sit talk to you.
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: Well, it's a government assassinating exercise.
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I do it.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Now we're told that Bernie will be replaced by Northern
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Territory of We're guessing really Northern Territory center of Melandeery McCarthy,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: who seems sharp and I hope more open to a
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: different strategy against that kind of apartheid. Joining me is
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: my Thursday, regular Nationals front bench of Bunaby Joyce, the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: former Deputy Prime Minister. Bunaby Joyce. Always good to see you. Look,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: there's no surprise is that that Linda Burney had to go.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: She was terrible in selling a terrible idea of the voice,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: and when that failed, she seemed totally out of any
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: other idea to help Aborigines. I mean when I say
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: that really helped them?
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: Well the moutrerous neil nessy bonhom isn't it? Andrew speak
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: nothing but good of the dead. And in the metaphorical terms,
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: the political people have legally passed on. So I have
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: good things to say about Linda. I believe she's a
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: very warm person. I was very interested today when listening
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: to a wordery man who said it it must absolutely
• 15:36
  Speaker 8: be said that a big commendation goes to her adoptive parents,
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: who he said, and he was a radury man, went
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: against the tide and would have had a lot of
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: pushback and would have had a tough time doing what
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: they did, and they did an exceptionally good job. And
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: so I think that is what we have to see
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: in what Linda has done. Linda certainly is a champion
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: for the Aboriginal people, without shadow of doubt. She is tried,
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: she has and she'll continue to be a champion of
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: the Aboriginal people. I don't agree with her on issues,
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: most certainly the Voice, which I saw as a split
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: of the Australian people. And no matter what, that rises
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: above all of us that we are all Australians. I'm
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: not Irish, I'm not English, I'm not Spanish or any
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: of the other parts that were.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Those who came.
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: Before me, my andcedents, I suppose, but I am an Australian,
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: one hundred percent Australian, and anything that says I'm not
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: an Australian.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I find anathema.
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: And I find that with people of all races and
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: all colors and all creeds, we closs as Australian. So
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: on that issue I differed from Linda. But the idea
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: that people Aboriginal people who live an Aboriginal life, who
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: grow up as Aboriginals, certainly there is so much that
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: needs to be done there that is just self evident.
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: If you go to Carnamal, or if you go to Burke,
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: if you go into the communities up in the territory,
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: if you got into my area, we're in my seat.
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: You only a fool would say that we could do
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: a better job and do more. That's exactly what we
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: want to do. We're not going to do it by
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: creating different classes of Australians based.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: On their DNA.
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: That that is a very very dangerous path to go down.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, I don't want to jeer her out the door.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a difficult day for her. But Barnaby
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: and I agree and I said, she's warm, she's a
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: good company, all that kind of stuff. Absolutely get it.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: But my point is if you don't learn the lessons
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: from her disastrous reign there, then we are going to
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: keep repeating this cycle of resentment. And iwe you and
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: this and that and nothing will get done. Nothing will
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: get done. That victim, and I think that is killing living.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: There is some killing, some big thing there and the
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: big thing there.
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: Andrew, I think what we should even this of the
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: macro politics? What was good about the voices?
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: The first chance the.
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: Australian people got to vote for so many things that
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: are just brought in by executive power, things that happened
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: to us which we have no say about. Like I
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: don't remember the vote where we were going to have
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: three flags and not one. I don't remember the vote
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: we were going to start each day with someone saying
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: in English a sort of a quasi pray and welcome
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: to Welcome to country. I live in this country. I
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: absolutely respect the Aboriginal culture more so than most. I
• 18:32
  Speaker 8: believe you may I've grown up with it, but you
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: know I'm not.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: It's not like I don't belong here.
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: There's also there's always an inference that somehow I'm not
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: an Australian and I am an Australian and.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: This is my country.
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: But when in the Australian people get a chance to vote,
• 18:46
  Speaker 8: absolutely they're quite overwhelmingly in making the statement. And so
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: what I like about their vote is amazing that when
• 18:53
  Speaker 8: you take it away from the executive and give it
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: to the Australian people, they make it a startly different
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: choice to watch present assumed to be the sort of
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: the consummate knowledge of the executive and the enlightened who
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: forces so many other things on us withoutout us ever
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: having a chance to have us say about it.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I think if you dragged a lot of things before
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the public for a vote, you'd be surprised what they
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: might vote. Out of existence and anything welcome to country
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: with one of them, Barnaby, This reshuffler countries are and
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: large on that before all the haf all the haters get.
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: Up, welcome to country. When someone gets up and says
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: in English something that was basically if you go back
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: to trove where you go back to any source documents,
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: we can't find anything before nineteen eighty that sounds even
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: remotely like the so called welcome to country, and the
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: certainly if it was ever said, it was never said
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: in English. But you know we've got me if we
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: even question this, we're anathema. We'rege outrageous to question the
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: validity of it.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Barnaby just quickly amount of time. But speaking Andrew Jode
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: is almost certainly going to be the immigration MISSI be
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: reshuffled in Albanezi announceers is retuffle on Sunday. Here's another
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: reason for doing that. He got three people essentially from
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: the multicultural industry plus seven advisors, so ten in all,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: four of them of Muslim background to review our multicultural policies.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Got exactly the wacky report you'd expect, no mention of
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the rise of anti Semitism, twenty known recommendations so out
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: that the government hasn't committed to even one of them.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: And one of those reconversions is giving the citizenship tests
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: in languages other than English. I mean, how does how
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: does stuff like that get get part of the government
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: machinery because the executive thought that was a great idea.
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: I mean, there are some enlightened soul who has lived
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: in all the all the all the every corner of Australia.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: They've lived in Red.
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: Hill and Civic and the Department House, They've been right
• 20:53
  Speaker 8: across Australia and they were that was perfectly reasonable from
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: their multi generational Caucasian which is the center of camera.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, because it's completely wacky.
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: You got to live in a country where if you
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: don't speak.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: English fluently, you're just looking for me. Look, citizenship, to
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: be a proper citizen of this country, you need English.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: You need to participate and to have the citizenship tests
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: in a language other than English defeats the purpose. It's ridiculous.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Barnaby Joyce, always great to talk to you. Nonsense, thank
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: you after the break, and I showed you how budens
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: are wrecked. Now a top American general says, boy, that
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: is a worry. Have you've seen America's enemies now moving in?
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: And don't forget I'll also be sat telling some home
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: truths about a murdock who doesn't know what's good for
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: him or shareholders. I know the president's mental collapses disturb
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: very senior members of the Pentagon in the US military. Now,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I spoke earlier to General Jack Keane, as a retired
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: for star general they actually served as Vice Chief of
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Staff of the United States Army is now chairman in
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: this stif and the Study of War. And what he
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: has to say is I think really compelling. General Keen,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: great to catch up with you again after so long
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: looking at your president today, it was tragic. I mean,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: struggling to give his address to the nation, couldn't keep
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: his train of thought even with an auto queue. To me,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: it projected a weakness, not just a weakness, an incapacity
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: to actually govern for the next six months. I wonder
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: what America's enemies looking at this would think and what
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: opportunities they might think are open now to them.
• 22:44
  Speaker 7: You know, it's really quite striking, Andrew, what you're talking about,
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: because in the last three years so this president took power,
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: the assertiveness of our enemies China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran,
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: all collaborating, cooperating together, have become so much more aggressive.
• 23:04
  Speaker 9: Think of it.
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: Russia has invaded Ukraine. We could not deter it. Iran
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: has operationalized all its proxies to drive the United States
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: out of the region, to destroy the state of Israel
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: by making it unpopular for people to live there. And
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: President she becoming all that more aggressive. And then during
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: this three year period, the President of the United States
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: became slowly but predictably more challenging in terms of his
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: ability to communicate and deal with the physicality of the job,
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: both mentally and physically. And as you suggest, certainly, our
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: adversaries are looking at that. I mean, they took advantage
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: of him based on where his policies were. And now
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: we have this other thing that's added to it. And
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: finally the president himself and his family they made a
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: decision that they should not go on any further. But
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: the likelihood is we you know, we have a lame
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: duck president dealing with Also, someone else will be elected
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: on November the fifth or so. Added to that, our
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: adversaries normally during this time andrew do not take advantage
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: of a lame duck president, even though other countries will
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: turn over power immediately. And the reason I think they
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: don't do that is a number of things. One is
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: our combatant commanders around the world, but all of our
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: resources are in place, and we are a global power.
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: Our diplomatic posts all over the world with a flag
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: representing the United States are there, are intelligence services, Central Intelligence,
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: a Disease and others are operating all over the world
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: and they are in place. Even though there is a
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: perception in Washington of vulnerability dealing with the president of
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: the United States, I do believe that it is unlikely
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: that an adversary will take advantage of it.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: We can I challenge you a little bit on that though, General,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: and I think you've mentioned this in the past through
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Joe Barden has been weak in supporting Israel, for instance,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: and now one of his top generals has warned that
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the US is not doing enough to save ships that
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: are being attacked by Hooti islam As terrorists in Yemen
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: who have been firing missiles at ships in the Red Sea.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: The cutoff shipping to the through the sewers canal key
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: shipping lane. That's the punish Israel the whot He's even
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: fared a drone at Tel Aviv last weekend as well,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: killing a man. Now, this General Carella, he's head of
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: the US Central Command to Goods Middle East, and I'm
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: sure he himself leaked a letter to the US Defense Secretary,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: and well, can you tell us what it says and
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: what you make of it when he says this, We've
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: just got to do more.
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, Andrew, you're really on top of this situation.
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: What is happening here is obviously Iran operationalized Hamas they
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: attacked on October to seventh, and these rulings have been
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: at war, you know, for ten months ever since. But
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: the Hesbela attacked on October the eighth at the direction
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: of Iran. The Houthi's attacked subsequent to that at the
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: direction of Iran. Hesbela has escalated, and so have the Houthias.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: For you, our.
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: Audience, to understand, the Houthias have attacked Israel two hundred
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: times post October the seventh. Secondly, they have literally shut
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: down the Suez Canal to most all of worldwide shipping,
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: causing all sorts of economic problems and supply chain delays.
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: As a result of all of that, they have been
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: extraordinarily successful on behalf of what Iran is trying to achieve,
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: which is interfered with the shipping lanes and influence and
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: control what has taken place in the Middle East. The
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: Central Command Commander, who is the United States commander in
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: that region, General Carrilla, who I know quite well. He
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: commanded eighteenth ab one Corps formerly Fort Bragg that I did,
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: so we have something very much in common with each other.
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: He is one of our most brilliant and innovative commanders.
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: I know for a fact that he is recommended to
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: this administration going back almost two years now, one hundred
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: and sixty to targets that are someplace related to Iran,
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: most of them all in Iran, not anything that's non military,
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: not commercial targets, but military targets, starting with Iran's navy,
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: their spyship and take down the capabilities that they have
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: to ship missiles and other things to the Houthis. They've
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: been given the mission, a defensive mission to defends against
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: the Houthi's missiles and drones, attacks on shipping and on themselves,
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: and they've attempted to destroy some of the capabilities in Yemen.
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: But after talking to the commander, they don't have a
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: lot of fidelity on where everything is in Yemen because
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: they have nothing on the ground. But because Iran has
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: been our adversary for forty five years, Andrew we have
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: great fidelity on where everything is militarily in Iran. And
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: that is what he is recommending, so much so that
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: he wrote a letter to the Secretary of Defense. In
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: other words, he put it in writing he wants it
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: historically documented, because he's putting his career on the line
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: that this is what needs to be done if we're
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: going to stabilize the Middle East and stop the closure
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: of the Suez Canal and worldwide shipping that's going through
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: it and what is happening so far? The answer is
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: no answer.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: General Jack Keane, thank you so much indeed for your time.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Really appreciate your analysis.
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's great to see you again, Andrew, welcome back.
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: Always look forward to be with you in your audience.
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: Thank you.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: After the break. Why is the top showcase of Australian
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: sport asking a third rate American to be the halftime act?
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, what is this cultural cringe? There's been so
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: much pressure in Israel and its government to end this
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: war in Gaza and just make a deal with Hamas
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: to get back the remaining one hundred and sixteen or
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: so hostages. It's got it asn't warned for months now.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: I do doubt that many are actually alive, and today
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: the Israeli Defense Forces announced has actually found the bodies
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: of five of them for me. While the Albanize government's
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: going after Israelis has imposed financial sanctions and travel bands
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: on seven Israelis and a youth group the Cambridge Says
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: have been involved in supposedly illegal settlements plus violent, more
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: seriously violent attacks on Palestinians in the west Bank join
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: mister panel. James wuit Ferson from the late debate here
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: on Sky News an Evelyn Ray farmer, former policeman and
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: SKA News regular James, what do you make of this or?
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: Firstly, the Albaneze government argue that they need to deal
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: with settler violence if there's ever to be a two
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: state solution, well you could wipe out all settler violence.
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: The problem is Hamas oppose a two state solution, so
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: this makes absolutely no sense at all. On top of that,
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: look at the difference in the way that the Albaneze
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: government treats these Israeli settlers who obviously are doing the
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: wrong thing, and yet the Israeli government will arrest them
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: and prosecute them as compared to the way the Albanese
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: government deals with Palestinians. We're bringing about two thousand of
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: them into Australia when we know studies revealed that around
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: seventy five percent of the Gaza population support Harmas. So
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: this is nothing but the alban Eezy government again unfortunately
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: playing to Western Sydney seats at the expense of the
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: Jewish community.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: More specifically that Pattersonian Poliger just cited there says around
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: that many supported Hamas's actions last November when it killed
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: all those Israelis kidnapped two hundred and fifty odd people.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's what they support them. Seriously, now, Evelyn,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: what do you make of this? It seems to me
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: the government's actually trying to send a signal we're tough
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: on Israel rather than try and hose things down a bit. Yeah.
• 31:50
  Speaker 10: Look, I agree with what James said, and I think
• 31:53
  Speaker 10: that's the part that stinks is the partiality that we're seeing.
• 31:57
  Speaker 10: You know, I can understand why something like this in
• 32:00
  Speaker 10: the news would probably be quite unsettling to a lot
• 32:03
  Speaker 10: of people, particularly because there are still hostages that are
• 32:07
  Speaker 10: either still you know, being held captive or like you
• 32:10
  Speaker 10: you know, said sadly that possibly deceased as a result
• 32:16
  Speaker 10: of all that you know, And it certainly does from
• 32:18
  Speaker 10: the outside looks selective from our Australian government. But I
• 32:22
  Speaker 10: think it's important to remember that one evil deed doesn't
• 32:25
  Speaker 10: justify another. So if it's true that these particular people
• 32:30
  Speaker 10: have been doing violent attacks against Palestinian civilians like rape
• 32:35
  Speaker 10: and murder, you know, then Australia doing what it can
• 32:38
  Speaker 10: to sort of condemn.
• 32:39
  Speaker 9: That is the right thing.
• 32:41
  Speaker 10: But I think what we want to see, Andrew, is
• 32:43
  Speaker 10: that applied consistently, whether those victims are Israeli or Palestinian.
• 32:48
  Speaker 10: You know, we don't want a government particularly that it
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: has a selective outrage, especially when you are dealing with
• 32:56
  Speaker 10: such horrific violence and crimes on both sides. And you know,
• 33:00
  Speaker 10: Charles Spurgeon once said, you know, six feet of dirt
• 33:03
  Speaker 10: makes all men equal. And I think it would do
• 33:05
  Speaker 10: our Australian government really well to remember that that, whether
• 33:09
  Speaker 10: you're an innocent victim on one side or the other,
• 33:12
  Speaker 10: that your life deserves to be protected, preserved and defended
• 33:16
  Speaker 10: at all costs.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, and I'd like to see how many Iranians part
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: of that fascist regime have been sanctioned. How many Russians
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: in particular, I know, but how many? I mean, there
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: are so many trouble spots in the world where they
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: could take an action, and they choose this. James, We've
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: had this cultural cringe in Australia driven me nuts for decades. Now,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: you know, take an overseas acting to make our own
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: big day special, like we can't do it ourselves. The logis,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: you might remember, had it for years getting second or
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: third or even fourth rate American celebrities like Michael Cole,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: for instance. They're coming over even when they arrived on
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: if they arrived on stage seemingly drunk, but what did
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: it matter? You know, Hey, they're American. The logans have
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: got over that, but the AFL has not. It's just
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: announced the slaves beg out from the AFL Grand Final.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Not quite so big given how Katie Perry's latest singers bombed,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: but she seems excited here.
• 34:13
  Speaker 10: She is one hundred thousand passionate fans roaring, had the
• 34:18
  Speaker 10: mighty mcgs.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: I can't wait to hear that.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Am I missing something here? James? I mean, why don't
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: they show case the best Australian musicians at the Best
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Australian Sports Final?
• 34:32
  Speaker 9: Andrew?
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: Just before I answer that question, I have to wonder
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: why you're interested. Of all people, you're a Richmond supporter.
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: You won't have any interest in an AFL Grand Final
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: for at least another ten years, so you don't need
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: to worry about it as a Tiger supporter.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: But I think the issue on the table, that's the
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: issue here on this show.
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: The issue here is not one of cultural cringe, because
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: as my late debate co host Caleb Bond pointed out
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: before we came on air, they have forgotten his name. Now,
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: who's the guy who sings up there Kaze every single
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: year before the Grand Final? Yes, exactly. But the reason
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: that they have an international Act is not because of
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: cultural cringe. It's because they're trying to market AFL to
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: an international audience. An international audience is not interested at
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: all in Australian rules football. But if we have Kiss,
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: or we have Robbie Williams, or if we have Katie Perry,
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: then there's a chance overseas news networks might pick it
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: up because of the International Act and thereby give exposure to.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: The football going anywhere. AFL is an Australian sport. Will
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: always remain that what do you make of it? Evilyent
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: amount of time, but a quick response.
• 35:42
  Speaker 10: I think we're just in such a highly driven celebrity
• 35:45
  Speaker 10: culture where people can be influenced to do things purely
• 35:48
  Speaker 10: because someone famous. It's sad as pathetic, but I guess
• 35:51
  Speaker 10: the younger generation might like it, not us old he
• 35:53
  Speaker 10: is here on the panel for.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Sure, oldies yourself, No, actually for me, James A Level
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: and Ray have you had two waks there. Thank you
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: very much for you both after the break. A senior
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: British officer in full uniform stabbed twelve times in the street,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: plus my warning to James murder leave us alone. You know,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: I've worried, as you know, for a long time about
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: the shattering of the bonds between us, the excesses of multiculturalism,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: the lack of respect for authority, all that kind of stuff.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: There really does seem to be a sense of decline
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: and decay in Britain in particular. I'm seeing this too.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Two shocking cases which may or may not touch on this,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: or yet to know the full details, but I'll tell
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: you the first, the stabbing of a lieutenant colonel who
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: was in full uniform near his own house near an
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: army base, allegedly by a man of African appearance. Has
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: now been arrested. Joined me from London as Patrick Christie's
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: host of gb New Patrick, great to see you again,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: but what can you tell us about this terrible turial
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: of event. Twelve times this officer was stabbed.
• 37:10
  Speaker 11: Yeah, this is an absolutely horrific incident. So an army
• 37:13
  Speaker 11: officer in full uniform stabbed twelve times outside his barrows.
• 37:17
  Speaker 11: Chilling echoes here of that Lee Rigby incident where that
• 37:20
  Speaker 11: fusilier was decapitated by two radical Islamists outside his barracks.
• 37:25
  Speaker 11: You're right to say. A man of African appearance has
• 37:27
  Speaker 11: now been arrested. He is currently in court. Now, this
• 37:30
  Speaker 11: is where it all gets a bit confusing, okay, and
• 37:32
  Speaker 11: I think he's raising a huge amount of suspicions. Police
• 37:35
  Speaker 11: initially ruled out terrorism. They said that they suspected it
• 37:38
  Speaker 11: was mental health. Then they ruled back in terrorism. Now
• 37:41
  Speaker 11: they say that they're keeping an open mind. The man
• 37:43
  Speaker 11: in question is a chap called Anthony Esan. He has
• 37:46
  Speaker 11: been charged with attempted murder and possession of an offensive weapon.
• 37:49
  Speaker 11: Two knives were recovered on him about thirty five minutes
• 37:52
  Speaker 11: after this attack when the police.
• 37:54
  Speaker 9: Calls up with him.
• 37:55
  Speaker 11: Now, the police initially tried to subdue a photograph of
• 38:00
  Speaker 11: this individual. That's not the most uncommon thing in the world,
• 38:03
  Speaker 11: but they did try to do that. Anyway, all sorts
• 38:05
  Speaker 11: of rumors, of course circulating online. We will have to
• 38:08
  Speaker 11: wait and see the result of this trial. What I
• 38:09
  Speaker 11: will say though, is that there is a serious fear
• 38:13
  Speaker 11: that that quote's unquote mental illness could be yet another
• 38:16
  Speaker 11: incident of the mental illness of radical Islam.
• 38:19
  Speaker 9: We'll have to wait and see about all of that.
• 38:21
  Speaker 11: But army officers are now told in Britain to not
• 38:26
  Speaker 11: wear their uniform when they leave their barracks. Obviously, in
• 38:29
  Speaker 11: this case, the chap was wearing his uniform. You have
• 38:32
  Speaker 11: to ask yourself why why is that? And it's because
• 38:34
  Speaker 11: the members of the public, and a particular section of
• 38:37
  Speaker 11: the member of the public, may well attack them. And
• 38:39
  Speaker 11: that appears to be what's going to happen in this case.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: It would once have been thought unthinkable to where a
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: military uniform in public can be in danger. You think
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: you'd be admired for that. To be said, if your
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: own military can't be the military in their own country
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: in safety, you have got one serious problem. The at
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Patrick Christie's it's just shocked. But now look, I've got
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: a worn viewers. I'm going to show some graphic video
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: of violence that may disturb you. All right now, Patrick,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: you've probably I'm sure you've seen a short clip out
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: of context tweeted of a policeman kicking a Muslim man
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: in the head when that man was on the ground
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: and seemingly restrained. I'm now going to show you full
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: of footage for context, although you still don't see the
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: actual incident that started all this.
• 39:29
  Speaker 12: Have a look.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Even more context, Patrick, Please say what you just saw
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: actually before that started with several muslim men attacking some
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: police there, breaking the nose of a female officer, putting
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: another two officers in hospital. Does that excuse the kick
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: in the head or does it raise questions for both
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: sides in this conflict.
• 40:26
  Speaker 9: Well, we want a police force, not a police service.
• 40:28
  Speaker 11: Now, just last week what we saw was riots, full
• 40:32
  Speaker 11: scale riots taking place with the Roma Gypsy community and
• 40:35
  Speaker 11: large chunks of the British Asian community in a city
• 40:37
  Speaker 11: called Leeds. The police there ran away and just let
• 40:41
  Speaker 11: them dominate that town for an entire evening.
• 40:43
  Speaker 9: But we don't want to see that, do we.
• 40:45
  Speaker 11: Now if the context here is accurate and the police
• 40:47
  Speaker 11: have to start proving this at some point, by the way,
• 40:49
  Speaker 11: but if the context is true, which is that during
• 40:53
  Speaker 11: an attempted apprehension of someone they believed was responsible for
• 40:56
  Speaker 11: an early result, three police officers were attacked, all of
• 41:00
  Speaker 11: whom are now requiring hospital treatment, including a female police
• 41:03
  Speaker 11: officer who had her nose broken, you're in a maximum
• 41:06
  Speaker 11: security area such as an airport. Earlier on in the day,
• 41:10
  Speaker 11: everyone would have been well aware of that distressing incident
• 41:12
  Speaker 11: that we just spoke about about the British Army officer
• 41:14
  Speaker 11: being stabbed. We've got an incredibly volatile and violent situation.
• 41:18
  Speaker 11: I absolutely would want the police to just handle that
• 41:22
  Speaker 11: situation and take no chances. I think the British public
• 41:25
  Speaker 11: would expect that. The issue that we've now got, Andrew,
• 41:28
  Speaker 11: is that mobs of British muslim Men have turned up
• 41:31
  Speaker 11: outside police stations in Manchester shouting things like aloak bar,
• 41:36
  Speaker 11: threatening to riot, threatening to smash the police stations up.
• 41:39
  Speaker 11: If the people who have been arrested for this aren't
• 41:41
  Speaker 11: released without charge, well what's happened. The police appears to
• 41:44
  Speaker 11: have released at least two of the people that they
• 41:46
  Speaker 11: are arrested. They've now suspended the police officer in question
• 41:51
  Speaker 11: during this particular attack, and there is a real risk
• 41:54
  Speaker 11: now that the police could be giving into monbrul. There
• 41:57
  Speaker 11: is no conversation being had at all about how is
• 41:59
  Speaker 11: this female officer who had a nose broken.
• 42:01
  Speaker 9: There's no conversation.
• 42:02
  Speaker 11: It's all about what led up to this incident, People say,
• 42:05
  Speaker 11: is it ever justified for a police officers to kick
• 42:07
  Speaker 11: him out in the head?
• 42:08
  Speaker 9: And I can understand that.
• 42:09
  Speaker 11: Is it ever justified to break a female police officer's
• 42:12
  Speaker 11: nose or attack armed officers at an airport? I think not,
• 42:16
  Speaker 11: And I wish we were having that conversation in stat.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Well. I've got to say, if I and a few
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: others of my friends were in that situation that those
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Muslimen found ourselviously, we wouldn't be screaming abuse and resisting
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: arrest and all that. I mean, you, you know, you
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: might protest, but you'd I don't think it'd end up
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: being kicked in their head and mace and all that
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: to calm me down. I mean, seriously, there's something on
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: both sides of that conflict that need. But another thing there, Patrick,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: It's like that the shots of the female officers supposedly
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: guarding Donald Trump running around, One couldn't holster a gun
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: and one was adjusting her didn't know what to do.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: I don't here from the footage we just show, the
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: female officers in their clip were largely inaffective. They were
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: standing back as the male officers physically, of course come
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: stronger wristled them into the ground.
• 43:11
  Speaker 11: Well, this is a conversation that is going to have
• 43:13
  Speaker 11: to be had, because if the breakdown of law and
• 43:15
  Speaker 11: order has happened and people no longer bother about assaulting
• 43:19
  Speaker 11: police officers in this country, then we have to have
• 43:21
  Speaker 11: a conversation about whether or not some slightly diminutive female
• 43:25
  Speaker 11: officers should really be out there. And that's an incredibly
• 43:27
  Speaker 11: distressing thing to have to say. I don't mean any
• 43:29
  Speaker 11: disrespect to female police officers who do an incredibly brave job.
• 43:32
  Speaker 11: But if that is the reality of the situation, then
• 43:34
  Speaker 11: we have to look at it. And if the male
• 43:36
  Speaker 11: police officer in question, who has now been suspended for
• 43:39
  Speaker 11: kicking a man in the head, it says to his
• 43:42
  Speaker 11: colleagues and to the public, look, I had a couple
• 43:44
  Speaker 11: of female officers here, one of them had their nose broken,
• 43:46
  Speaker 11: the others could not restrain these men in a volatile situation,
• 43:49
  Speaker 11: and I had to take what many people might regard
• 43:51
  Speaker 11: as excessive action. Then also that raises questions, doesn't it
• 43:55
  Speaker 11: about the safety or frontline officers and the public. If
• 43:58
  Speaker 11: it comes to having female offer again, I will say,
• 44:01
  Speaker 11: you know, no disrespect whatsoever it to that woman who
• 44:03
  Speaker 11: obviously has suffered a serious injury as a result of this.
• 44:05
  Speaker 11: But I think if people are now willing to assault
• 44:07
  Speaker 11: police officers and they don't care about it anymore, then
• 44:10
  Speaker 11: we do have to have that conversation about whether it
• 44:12
  Speaker 11: should just be big, burly blokes on the front line.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Well, it also raises the question too. You know, when
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: a man, a male officer, thinks he doesn't have can't
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: rely on the female officers to help protect him if
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: he's trying to tackle one offender, they might be more
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: inclined to go for extreme message methods like we just saw.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: That's the issue too. Patrick Christy is always great to
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: talk to you. Thanks a lot for your time. And
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: now look I've got some advice for one member of
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: the Murdoch family in particular, back off, don't kill the
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: golden goose that's made you and many others so rich.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: Now I read now in the New York Times that
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Rupert Murdoch has locked in a secret legal battle against
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: three of his children of the future of the Murdoch
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: media empire, and that those of course Fox News it
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: includes the papers are right for here and Sky News Australia.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Now Rivert Murdoch thinks correctly that Fox and Sky and
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: other Murdoch outlets are successful because they offer something hard
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: to find in the media, as you would know, and
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: that is conservative voices. Now, if you destroy that point
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: of difference, if you turn Fox News into another CNN,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: you're going to destroy it. Turn us into an ABC,
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: you'll destroy Sky News. So River Murdoch wants to make
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: sure that Lochlan Murdock, who is a conservative as well,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: and who's really been the boss for five years of
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: Fox Corp and News Corp, especially since his father officially
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: retired last year. He wants Lachlan to stay the boss
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: after his father dies, and that means changing the terms
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: of the murdochs Irrevocable Family Trust, which gives an equal
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: share to Riper Murdock's for eldest children, including Lochlan Well
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: big surprise. The other three don't like that at all.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: They're going to court to fight this, James especially. So
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: I have a message for James. Your father is right
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: keeping Lachlan in the job. Stopping you is in your
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: interest too, which is in fact what rubery Murdock has
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: to prove in this case before he gets permission to
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: change this irrevocable deal. Now, if James got control of
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: the company instead after his father's death, I think this
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: place would go. And that's because we already know that
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: James is far to the left and appointing him would
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: be like appointing a witch to run a science lab.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, you just look. James Murdoch has attacked the
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Murdoch's Fox News, a massive money earner, saying there are
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: views I really disagree with on Fox News. In fact,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: he resigned from the board, saying was due to disagreements
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: over certain editorial content published by the company's news outlets
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: are certain other strategic decisions. He has attacked us here
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: for what he calls climate denial, which, in truth, as
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: I've explained millions of times, is a healthy skepticism about
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: climate alarmism and climate policy, is not a denial that
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: the planet's warned. And he's even had a spokesman say well,
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: James and his wife are particularly disappointed with the ongoing
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: denial among the news outlets in Australia, which makes me wonder.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: It's a bit of a pity, isn't it that he
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: doesn't come on this show to debate his own extreme
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: climate views, instead of implying that we should be silenced,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: as I assume you'd do were he in charge instead.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: So it's for me, it's all too ridiculous for words.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: And when you see the success of Fox and News
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: under Lachland lately, just the share price alone, it looks
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: even worse than that. And it's not like James Murdock's
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: own business acumen is even better brilliant when he is
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: felt obliged to hand back a huge payment he got
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: for being on the board of Tesla excessive. Now I
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: can say all this because I don't care. I mean,
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: James could sack me if he did take over, but
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: he wouldn't need to because I wouldn't be the only
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: one who wouldn't work for him, and I would much
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: for retirement. It's a values thing, you know, There's a
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: freedom thing. I don't know if he gets that now.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: I haven't been asked to say this. I haven't even
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: talked to Lachlin for a couple of years. It's just
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: so obvious. You want a conservative alternative to most of
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: the rest of the media. You do Fox viewers do
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: Readers of The Australian, for instance, they do? I mean
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: would you watch Sky News if we were like the ABC,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: you know, exactly the same as mainstream, the age and
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: the Cinnamore hero pumping out global warmingess theories, saying yes
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: to the voice going with any woke fad. I mean really,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: you'd switch off and remove that point of difference and
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: it's all over for debate and for this business. So
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: what on earth is James fighting for is a control
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: over a news organization he hates and would destroy. Can't
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: imagine other shareholders would like that. That's it from me,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: Coming up now, Sherry markson good Night
