- 0:09Speaker 1: Jesus is the report. Tonight, Grace Tame called for an intafada,
- 0:17Speaker 1: and now the ABC harritor cos Donald Trump abuses Israel's
- 0:22Speaker 1: Prime minister as he tries to please Iran. Also tonight,
- 0:26Speaker 1: labor figures now agitate against getting our nuclear submarines from America.
- 0:32Speaker 1: Here comes Peter Garrett and plenty more tonight, including Matt Canavan.
- 0:38Speaker 1: But first, I'll be thinking all day how to get
- 0:43Speaker 1: a problem that's so obvious through the Albanesi government's thick
- 0:48Speaker 1: skull and maybe a finally hit on it. Today the
- 0:52Speaker 1: Bureau of Statistics population clock showed our population smashing through
- 0:59Speaker 1: twenty eight million people. That's seem just incredible. This is
- 1:03Speaker 1: the figure of an hour ago. That means we've added
- 1:06Speaker 1: another million people in just the past three years of
- 1:10Speaker 1: the Albani'sa government. A million in three years, most of
- 1:13Speaker 1: them immigrants. Where are they all living? You may well ask,
- 1:18Speaker 1: no other country in the West there's a population growth
- 1:22Speaker 1: this fast other than I think Liechtenstein or an Israel. Israel,
- 1:28Speaker 1: just see how wide the door is under the prime minister,
- 1:32Speaker 1: I mean, Anthony Albanisi is letting in more than eleven
- 1:36Speaker 1: hundred immigrants a day on average net about four times
- 1:41Speaker 1: more than did labor Prime minister's Bob Hawk and Paul Keating,
- 1:45Speaker 1: and more than double than did John Howard. It already,
- 1:49Speaker 1: let's let the door open to wide. Now there's plenty
- 1:54Speaker 1: of theories why the immigration level is this insane, and
- 1:58Speaker 1: here are a couple of me Lots of immigrants tends
- 2:02Speaker 1: to mean lots more labor voters, and two lots of
- 2:07Speaker 1: immigrants also means a lot more taxes for the government,
- 2:11Speaker 1: even if average Australians meanwhile get poorer per person. And
- 2:16Speaker 1: now here are some of the reasons why voters absolutely
- 2:19Speaker 1: hate this, as polls show. When a third of us
- 2:24Speaker 1: are now born overseas, our unity has to be weakened.
- 2:30Speaker 1: And when we import so many people and so fast,
- 2:32Speaker 1: by the way, our cities get too full the trains,
- 2:35Speaker 1: the hospitals, the roads and so on, and they become
- 2:39Speaker 1: almost unrecognizable to even those who grew up in these cities.
- 2:45Speaker 1: And of course it's the big one. When we import
- 2:47Speaker 1: so many people, we run out of houses and they
- 2:49Speaker 1: get too expensive. And who hasn't seen that. I mean,
- 2:54Speaker 1: we add a million people, million Australians in three but
- 3:00Speaker 1: we're not building the houses for them. In fact, the
- 3:02Speaker 1: Albany is the Governor's way under his own target of
- 3:04Speaker 1: building one point two million homes in five years. So
- 3:07Speaker 1: you would think it's an no brainer. You don't flood
- 3:10Speaker 1: the country with immigrants when you're not building enough houses.
- 3:16Speaker 1: But this government's prominise refused to admit that too much
- 3:20Speaker 1: immigration helps make houses too expensive for Australians. They have
- 3:23Speaker 1: kept insisting the problem isn't the demand, just the supply.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Of course, we want them to be more affordable.
- 3:32Speaker 3: The key there, of course, as well, is supply.
- 3:36Speaker 4: We've got a housing crisis in Australia because for forty
- 3:39Speaker 4: years our country has not been building enough homes.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Now I can't understand by this government doesn't go you know,
- 3:46Speaker 1: light bulb, Well, if you can't actually make supply match demand,
- 3:54Speaker 1: why not cut the demand? I mean really cut immigration? Right?
- 3:59Speaker 1: I mean, how is that not as obvious these labor
- 4:02Speaker 1: politicians as I'm sure it's obvious to everyone watching. And
- 4:07Speaker 1: as I said, I've been wracking my brains all day.
- 4:09Speaker 1: You know, how am I going to illustrate this so
- 4:11Speaker 1: clearly that even a labor MP would understand or couldn't
- 4:15Speaker 1: at least the diet, and I mean by that a
- 4:18Speaker 1: labor MP like this one who last week explained Housing
- 4:22Speaker 1: Labour's housing tax grab like this. This is Giraffe, and
- 4:27Speaker 1: Giraffe owns.
- 4:28Speaker 5: The house that he lives in. He also owns a
- 4:32Speaker 5: second house that he rents out to Zephyra.
- 4:36Speaker 1: So let me explain this immigration issue to her and
- 4:39Speaker 1: other labor MPs and the language they use to voters
- 4:43Speaker 1: and so might even understand themselves. This is a bone. Now,
- 4:49Speaker 1: if you have one dog and one bone, you don't
- 4:55Speaker 1: have a problem with supply. But if you have two
- 5:00Speaker 1: dogs and one bone, you do. In fact, you have
- 5:04Speaker 1: a fight in your hands. Now, if labor and peace
- 5:08Speaker 1: just follow me for a couple more seconds while I
- 5:10Speaker 1: try to explain this as they try to explain their
- 5:14Speaker 1: tax changes to us. Let's now not talk about dogs
- 5:18Speaker 1: and bones, but immigrants and homes. The obanies the government
- 5:23Speaker 1: has added one point three million immigrants. It's just his
- 5:26Speaker 1: first three years, and the way things are going, it
- 5:29Speaker 1: will add two million in total over its two terms.
- 5:35Speaker 1: I understand now that is why we have a housing crisis.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Not enough bones or homes. Too much demand when there's
- 5:46Speaker 1: not enough supply and the answer has to be you
- 5:49Speaker 1: cut immigration. Indeed, speaking of there is secret Reserve bank
- 5:55Speaker 1: notes that were prepared last year for the board. Cindney
- 5:58Speaker 1: Morning Herald had them today and they show the bank
- 6:02Speaker 1: admitting that migration is indeed, in fact, it's listed as
- 6:08Speaker 1: one of the quote main ways that the government could
- 6:12Speaker 1: use to affect housing. And these notes go on to
- 6:16Speaker 1: complain that many of the governments subsidies to the home
- 6:18Speaker 1: buyers to supposedly fix the problem in different ways, simply
- 6:21Speaker 1: added to this demand, pull forward purchases and cause higher prices.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Now what an damning indictment Discoverment asks about that Reserve
- 6:33Speaker 1: Bank note. Today the Housing Minister admitted in Parliament, well, okay, okay,
- 6:37Speaker 1: cutting immigration could help, and even claimed that the government
- 6:43Speaker 1: had done that, even though in fact immigration this year
- 6:46Speaker 1: is still around three hundred thousand people a year, obviously
- 6:51Speaker 1: far too high. But then she immediately switched to the
- 6:53Speaker 1: old mantra no no, no, But what we really had
- 6:55Speaker 1: to do was build more homes, more and more and
- 6:59Speaker 1: some more.
- 7:01Speaker 6: Now, this government's brought in a record one point four
- 7:04Speaker 6: million migrants. So isn't it the truth that Labour's migration
- 7:06Speaker 6: policies have made it harder for Australians, including New Australians,
- 7:10Speaker 6: to afford a home.
- 7:11Speaker 4: Migration is a piece of the puzzle here, and that
- 7:14Speaker 4: is exactly why our government has acted to bring migration down.
- 7:17Speaker 4: The main game here is we've got to build more
- 7:20Speaker 4: homes for Australians.
- 7:23Speaker 1: But you know what the truth really is here, Labor
- 7:25Speaker 1: does not want to know, doesn't want you to know
- 7:27Speaker 1: that mass immigration is a problem, is a curse really,
- 7:31Speaker 1: And boy did that become obvious when I read today
- 7:35Speaker 1: an astonishing story in the Fancial Review about Labour's response
- 7:39Speaker 1: to that poll. And I showed you yesterday showing one
- 7:42Speaker 1: nation now way ahead of even Labor and now quote
- 7:46Speaker 1: such arrogant Labor insiders who, by the way, sounds to
- 7:50Speaker 1: me exactly like treasure Jim Chalmers saying voters who have
- 7:55Speaker 1: deserted the Labor government for one nation have done so
- 7:57Speaker 1: because of financial hardship, not ideology the party's hierarchy believes,
- 8:04Speaker 1: which means, you know, we'll just throw them a few
- 8:07Speaker 1: tax stuff for a few handouts close to the election
- 8:10Speaker 1: and that will be sweet. But when you look at the
- 8:12Speaker 1: detail of that poll yesterday, you will find that voters
- 8:16Speaker 1: rated labor already head of one nation or still head
- 8:19Speaker 1: of one nation just on handling the cost of living crisis,
- 8:23Speaker 1: and in fact ahead of one nation and every issue
- 8:25Speaker 1: except two and guess which. Immigration, especially that's a third
- 8:32Speaker 1: from the bottom, and also crime. Immigration is above all
- 8:38Speaker 1: the red hot issue for one nation voters and everything
- 8:41Speaker 1: of course that flows from that unity, like patriotism, like
- 8:45Speaker 1: all that ideology that labor dismisses because it wants to,
- 8:51Speaker 1: it needs to, has to. Immigration is the key issue
- 8:55Speaker 1: behind the rise of one nation. You know, the way
- 8:58Speaker 1: this mass immigration changing our country, making it feel less
- 9:02Speaker 1: like our home. And still as you see, you get
- 9:06Speaker 1: labor in total manic, self serving denial. But of course
- 9:17Speaker 1: house prices are affected not just by immigration pushing prices
- 9:21Speaker 1: up right now, the Albanizi governments rising interest rates, in
- 9:25Speaker 1: our attacks on capital gains, discounts the negative gearing, they
- 9:28Speaker 1: are pushing prices down so much so, in fact, that
- 9:32Speaker 1: prices are suddenly crashing in the cities, to the point
- 9:36Speaker 1: where young buyers, especially who use the government's stupid five
- 9:40Speaker 1: percent deposit scheme, now have a home worth less than
- 9:45Speaker 1: they borrowed, not all but number of them. And that
- 9:48Speaker 1: is called negative equity, not that treasure Jim Charmers seemed
- 9:51Speaker 1: to care today.
- 9:53Speaker 7: Are you concerned that first time buyers who use the
- 9:55Speaker 7: five percent deposits in a falling market could end up
- 9:59Speaker 7: with negative equity in the first few months, in the
- 10:02Speaker 7: first few years of ownership.
- 10:04Speaker 1: Well, no, because housing is a long term investment. It
- 10:09Speaker 1: ignores that first homes often are just the starter homes,
- 10:13Speaker 1: like with me, your first flat, and then you move
- 10:16Speaker 1: a few years later when children might be in the offing,
- 10:18Speaker 1: to one with two bedrooms joining me. Is our Tuesday
- 10:21Speaker 1: regular commentator Matt Canavan, the Nationals leader. Matt Canavan, Great
- 10:25Speaker 1: to see you again. Why is the Oveniza government so
- 10:28Speaker 1: against slashing mass immigration hard? What's your theory?
- 10:34Speaker 8: Look, it can only be a theory or I can't
- 10:36Speaker 8: read the mind of the Prime minister. It is very
- 10:39Speaker 8: strange that a government won't be responsive to the will
- 10:43Speaker 8: of the people. Two thirds of people want to see
- 10:48Speaker 8: migration cut and want to see it cut significantly. And
- 10:51Speaker 8: in this last budget a few weeks ago, something's been
- 10:54Speaker 8: missed with all the tax changes. Is the government actually
- 10:57Speaker 8: increased its forecast for migration by another ninety one thousand people.
- 11:02Speaker 8: That's directly against what the istral people want. I think
- 11:05Speaker 8: the only justificational reason you can come to here is
- 11:08Speaker 8: that the labor government is addicted to artificially pumping up
- 11:13Speaker 8: its economic performance by bringing in more people. So bringing
- 11:16Speaker 8: in more people does have one direct effect of increasing
- 11:21Speaker 8: economic activity because more people are here to spend, so
- 11:23Speaker 8: it makes headline figures like gross domestic product economic output
- 11:28Speaker 8: look stronger. Those figures will come out tomorrow, but that
- 11:31Speaker 8: doesn't necessarily mean everybody.
- 11:33Speaker 1: Is more prosperous.
- 11:33Speaker 8: Of course, just because more stuff is being bought and
- 11:36Speaker 8: sold in the country. If there are more people here individually,
- 11:39Speaker 8: you could still be worse off, which has been what
- 11:41Speaker 8: has been happening in the first four years of this government,
- 11:44Speaker 8: where our living stands have gone backwards and gone backwards
- 11:47Speaker 8: at a recorded pace. Everybody can feel that. But everybody
- 11:50Speaker 8: can feel this mass migration approach is not working. It
- 11:53Speaker 8: needs to change. That's why we've said we will target
- 11:57Speaker 8: migration numbers that are calibrated. The houses we build there
- 12:01Speaker 8: will be much much lower than what we see at
- 12:03Speaker 8: the moment. And we'll also of course make sure that
- 12:08Speaker 8: if you do come to this country, you must share
- 12:10Speaker 8: Australian values, otherwise you'll be going home.
- 12:15Speaker 1: But Matt, why don't you set at least the ceiling
- 12:18Speaker 1: number for immigration? Why you leave it so nebulous that
- 12:23Speaker 1: one nation can consumpt you and say this is our figure.
- 12:26Speaker 1: I forgot what there's one hundred and thirty thousand permanent netmigration.
- 12:31Speaker 1: But whatever it is, why don't you do the same.
- 12:35Speaker 8: Look, you may have forgotten that number because one nation
- 12:38Speaker 8: has changed that number many times. So we don't set
- 12:43Speaker 8: a target deficit number for the budget. That's pretty important,
- 12:47Speaker 8: number two. But we don't set that right now because
- 12:50Speaker 8: we're in opposition and whatever number we say today is
- 12:53Speaker 8: not really relevant because we're not going to deliver a
- 12:56Speaker 8: budget next week or next year or at least two
- 12:59Speaker 8: years away from that. So on the same token, before
- 13:03Speaker 8: the next election, we will tell everybody exactly what the
- 13:05Speaker 8: number we think for the year that we could be
- 13:07Speaker 8: in government for, just like we will for the budget
- 13:10Speaker 8: as well from opposition. That's when you release costings. It'll
- 13:14Speaker 8: be released when we release all of those details. But
- 13:16Speaker 8: what we have said, as I said, we've set a target.
- 13:18Speaker 8: Our target will be to match the homes that are
- 13:21Speaker 8: built in this country. They are well below the rates
- 13:23Speaker 8: of our home building is well below the numbers of
- 13:26Speaker 8: mature us that this government's brought in, so our figures
- 13:30Speaker 8: will be well below. This government will be a massive
- 13:32Speaker 8: cut and will have a sensible program to do with migration,
- 13:37Speaker 8: just as Tony Abbott secure with the borders when he
- 13:39Speaker 8: was in government John Howard did, a liberal national government can.
- 13:41Speaker 1: Be except, of course, you know, this more to mass
- 13:47Speaker 1: immigration than the housing crisis. There are other issues that
- 13:50Speaker 1: would themselves justify cut in immigration, and a big one. Look.
- 13:56Speaker 1: But in terms of housing, part of the argument, of
- 13:58Speaker 1: course is the houses are too expensive for the young.
- 14:00Speaker 1: That's what we've got to do, this sort of thing.
- 14:02Speaker 1: Prices though in the cities are now falling, not everywhere
- 14:06Speaker 1: but largely in particular brackets of housing in particular. Shouldn't
- 14:11Speaker 1: we thank the government for that? Or is the falling
- 14:15Speaker 1: prices just allow for the extra costs from higher interest
- 14:18Speaker 1: rates now on the mortgage you must pay well.
- 14:22Speaker 8: Look, there are two ways to deal with inflation and
- 14:24Speaker 8: high prices, Andrew, we can take the poor Keating approach,
- 14:28Speaker 8: where we have a recession we have to have, and
- 14:30Speaker 8: economic chaos leads to economic downturn, which would reduce the
- 14:36Speaker 8: price of assets and everything else and put people out
- 14:38Speaker 8: of work and the like, And that seems to be
- 14:40Speaker 8: the approach the treasure is happy with because he said
- 14:42Speaker 8: it's a good thing. Amazingly, the Treasure of the Labor
- 14:45Speaker 8: Party Treasurer today said it was a good thing that
- 14:48Speaker 8: auction rates are clearing, that people can't sell their homes
- 14:50Speaker 8: and have to pull their hair out about what their
- 14:52Speaker 8: economic plans are post this shocking and terrible budget. I
- 14:57Speaker 8: think the other way that we want to promote is
- 14:59Speaker 8: much better. That we can help take relief off inflation
- 15:03Speaker 8: and prices by increasing productivity, by increasing our growth rate,
- 15:07Speaker 8: by having a plan to grow our economy. Some of
- 15:10Speaker 8: the worst feature almost in this budget's not worth what
- 15:13Speaker 8: it doesn't say. There's no plan for economic growth, there's
- 15:16Speaker 8: no plan to increase our stagnating productivity. August Taylor and
- 15:20Speaker 8: I you might think lots of things about us, but
- 15:22Speaker 8: we do come from very strong economic backgrounds and we
- 15:25Speaker 8: understand that the only sustainable way to grow a more
- 15:29Speaker 8: prosperous opportunities for our young Australians is to have a
- 15:34Speaker 8: strong economy with strong productivity performance, because that is what
- 15:37Speaker 8: underpins then the prices that people can afford the jobs
- 15:41Speaker 8: that give them wealth, to afford a home. That's what
- 15:44Speaker 8: we've got to invest in. This government has just given
- 15:46Speaker 8: up on that. It's given up on productivity, it's given
- 15:48Speaker 8: up on living standards to distract everybody. It's worse generational
- 15:53Speaker 8: campaign on taxes.
- 15:55Speaker 1: No, it's worse than that. They've actually hampered the productivity
- 15:59Speaker 1: growth with a lot of the regulations that passed. Now
- 16:02Speaker 1: said last night, Matt, I'm almost out of time, but
- 16:05Speaker 1: I've got to ask you this. The danger in making
- 16:06Speaker 1: Tony ab the new Liberal president is that it's so
- 16:09Speaker 1: forceful as a campaigner a communicator that he risks making
- 16:14Speaker 1: Liberal leader angus status in the pay limitation, which is
- 16:18Speaker 1: something that was picked up today by the Prome Minister.
- 16:20Speaker 2: Here is we don't need a Tony Abbott cover band,
- 16:25Speaker 2: a cheap immersion. We had the real thing out there
- 16:29Speaker 2: on Friday become national president. That he did seven interviews
- 16:33Speaker 2: yesterday because he knows that this guy just.
- 16:37Speaker 8: Don't up to the job. Your response, Matt, Well, for mine,
- 16:44Speaker 8: I love to see Tony back. He was a good
- 16:47Speaker 8: prime minister that had his term cut way too short.
- 16:50Speaker 8: It was the original sin. If you like of the
- 16:52Speaker 8: format coalition government, but with his return to a leadership
- 16:56Speaker 8: position in the Liberal Party within our coalition, if you like,
- 17:00Speaker 8: think finally the miserable ghost of Malcolm Turbul has been
- 17:03Speaker 8: exercised from the Liberal National Parties and we are back together.
- 17:08Speaker 8: We've got a strong team. We are going to fight
- 17:12Speaker 8: for conservative values and principles again, like spending with restraint,
- 17:18Speaker 8: lowering taxes, scrapping net zero and common sense on energy.
- 17:22Speaker 8: And as we've discussed securing our borders once more.
- 17:27Speaker 1: Yes, as the Liberals were saying before they were so
- 17:30Speaker 1: rudely interrupted by Malcolm Turnbull. Look I'm hearing you on that,
- 17:35Speaker 1: but still a lot of people went along with that folly.
- 17:39Speaker 1: I thank heavens you didn't really, so that you go. Matcanavan,
- 17:42Speaker 1: thank you so much for your time. After the break,
- 17:44Speaker 1: Donald Trump abuses Israel's Prime Minister and announces a piece deal.
- 17:49Speaker 1: But the terror group has never talked to Something very
- 17:52Speaker 1: strange is going on. One thing is becoming clear. Whatever
- 18:03Speaker 1: good Donald Trump is doing as president for America, domestically,
- 18:07Speaker 1: when it comes to world affairs, he is floundering. He
- 18:11Speaker 1: promised during his last election campaign to win the war
- 18:14Speaker 1: in Ukraine, in one day.
- 18:16Speaker 9: Before I even arrive at the Oval office, I will
- 18:19Speaker 9: have the disastrous war between Russia and Ukraine settled, and
- 18:23Speaker 9: it will take me no longer than one day.
- 18:28Speaker 1: Well, that's obviously a huge fail in fact that Trump
- 18:31Speaker 1: might have made the war drag out by not supporting
- 18:34Speaker 1: Ukraine enough. Then Trump promised it end the war against
- 18:38Speaker 1: Hamas in Gaza, claimed seven months ago he'd got to
- 18:41Speaker 1: deal with these terrorists.
- 18:44Speaker 9: I'm going to disarm and because they said they were
- 18:46Speaker 9: going to disarm, and if they don't disarm, we will
- 18:49Speaker 9: disarm them.
- 18:51Speaker 1: Well, seven months on, that hasn't happened either. Hamas is
- 18:54Speaker 1: not disarmed and America hasn't made it. Now. It's true
- 18:57Speaker 1: that Hamas at the time did release the last of
- 18:59Speaker 1: its Jewish hostages, credit in part to Trump, most credit
- 19:04Speaker 1: really to Israel. But Hamas is still armed and fighting
- 19:08Speaker 1: and Trump does nothing. Now. Trump claims today to have
- 19:12Speaker 1: another piece steel, and this time is to stop Israel
- 19:15Speaker 1: fighting the hesbela terrorist army in Lebanon that is an
- 19:20Speaker 1: army financed by Iran. Now, obviously this is to help
- 19:25Speaker 1: him make a peace deal with Iran in a war
- 19:28Speaker 1: there that he wants to end. Very soon and probably
- 19:30Speaker 1: without a clear wind. To be honest, Trump overnight posted
- 19:34Speaker 1: on truth Social that both Israel and Hesblah had agreed
- 19:38Speaker 1: to a cease far as around demands, and that it
- 19:42Speaker 1: had a very productive call with Prime Minister Bibi Netnya,
- 19:45Speaker 1: who of Israel, and there will be no Israeli troops
- 19:49Speaker 1: going to Beirut. And through intermediates, he said, I had
- 19:53Speaker 1: a very good call with Hezbollah, that's the terrorist army,
- 19:56Speaker 1: and they agreed that all shooting will stop, that Israel
- 20:00Speaker 1: will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel.
- 20:04Speaker 1: In fact, Hezbollah has not publicly agreed to any such thing.
- 20:08Speaker 1: Trump only has the word of Lebanon's president, who does
- 20:11Speaker 1: not obviously control Hezbelah, and Israel's Prime minister has meanwhile
- 20:16Speaker 1: kept bombing Hesbela targets in Lebanon and is indicated he's
- 20:20Speaker 1: not sure there really is a cease fire himself, posting
- 20:23Speaker 1: I spoke this evening with President Trump and told them
- 20:25Speaker 1: that Hesbella does not stop firing at our cities and citizens,
- 20:29Speaker 1: Israel will strike terrorist targets in Beirut. The position of
- 20:33Speaker 1: ours remain unchanged. Concurrently, the IDF, the Israeli Defense Force
- 20:38Speaker 1: will continue to operate as planned in southern Lebanon. What
- 20:45Speaker 1: on earth is Trump doing here there? Even our reports
- 20:49Speaker 1: that is doing too what he did to Ukraine's president
- 20:51Speaker 1: Vladimir Zelenski, so shamefully abusing and raging at him to
- 20:56Speaker 1: make him give in to In this case, Israel's the
- 20:59Speaker 1: speakable enemy, shouting at Net and Yahoo, what the f
- 21:03Speaker 1: are you doing in Lebanon? Everyone hates Israel, so not
- 21:10Speaker 1: everything Trump has done in foreign politics is bad. It's
- 21:13Speaker 1: obviously force Europe to spend a lot more on its defense,
- 21:15Speaker 1: which is a big thing, but it's also smashed the
- 21:18Speaker 1: Native Alliance, or at least destroyed faith in it and
- 21:21Speaker 1: in America's world. A word joining me is our Tuesday
- 21:25Speaker 1: regular Sean Spiced, Don Trump's first White House spokesman. I
- 21:28Speaker 1: talked to him short while ago, Sean Spicer, Great to
- 21:32Speaker 1: see you again. Donald Trump is now claiming he's going
- 21:35Speaker 1: to cease far between Hezbela and Israel without having talked
- 21:39Speaker 1: to one and without getting a clear commitment from another.
- 21:43Speaker 1: To me, this looks like a desperate attempt to persuade
- 21:47Speaker 1: you run that sponsors Hesbela to make peace for the US.
- 21:53Speaker 10: Well, to say the least.
- 21:55Speaker 11: This is getting confusing, and it's very difficult considering how
- 21:59Speaker 11: you actually negotiate logistically with Iran.
- 22:02Speaker 10: It's very complicated.
- 22:04Speaker 11: The simplest changes can take literally days passing notes back
- 22:08Speaker 11: and forth between couriers that go into caves and whatnot.
- 22:12Speaker 11: And then you've got Israel it's clearly not excited about
- 22:16Speaker 11: stopping anytime soon.
- 22:18Speaker 10: So you got a lot of interested parties.
- 22:20Speaker 11: I think I give the president credit, though obviously the
- 22:22Speaker 11: goal is peace and to make sure that we leave
- 22:25Speaker 11: this whole altercation and conflict a much safer world.
- 22:32Speaker 1: Yeah. I thought the goal was actually the defeat of Iran,
- 22:34Speaker 1: but that doesn't seem to be quite happening. How much
- 22:37Speaker 1: trouble is he in do you think domestically with not
- 22:40Speaker 1: being able to win the war or make a piece
- 22:43Speaker 1: that he can sell.
- 22:46Speaker 11: I think there's two separate questions there, Andrew. The first
- 22:48Speaker 11: one is, look, the President remains committed. He says this
- 22:52Speaker 11: all the time publicly and a truth social posts that
- 22:56Speaker 11: preventing Iran from maintaining or having the ability to enrich
- 22:59Speaker 11: your eranium to the point of posing a nuclear threat
- 23:03Speaker 11: still remains the number one goal.
- 23:05Speaker 10: I think that is something.
- 23:06Speaker 11: That we all should agree upon is admirable and should
- 23:09Speaker 11: be the focus of what we do. But when we
- 23:11Speaker 11: get into the domestic politics, there's a little bit of a.
- 23:14Speaker 10: Good and bad, if you will.
- 23:16Speaker 11: Domestic oil prices or gas prices here in America are
- 23:19Speaker 11: down about twelve to fourteen cents in the last ten days.
- 23:22Speaker 10: That's good.
- 23:23Speaker 11: Americans obviously are focused on on the price at the
- 23:26Speaker 11: pump for so many aspects of their daily budget. But
- 23:30Speaker 11: the question is, you know that's a week. Is it
- 23:32Speaker 11: going to continue to move in that direction. To be blunt,
- 23:35Speaker 11: we're largely a forgiving and forgetful nation that in the
- 23:38Speaker 11: sense that if if we were able to resolve this
- 23:41Speaker 11: and gas prices drop twenty five thirty forty cents in
- 23:44Speaker 11: the next two weeks, I think it would be in
- 23:46Speaker 11: the rearview mirror. Everybody would forget about it, and we'd
- 23:48Speaker 11: move on. The question is can the president do whatever
- 23:52Speaker 11: is necessary to lock in some kind of win that
- 23:55Speaker 11: keeps those gas prices moving in the right direction in
- 23:58Speaker 11: the next month. We just started this summer travel season
- 24:01Speaker 11: in America, and so for a lot of people, those
- 24:04Speaker 11: gas prices really come home to roost when it comes
- 24:07Speaker 11: to how they can budget, and so if they move
- 24:10Speaker 11: in the right direction, that's good. But this is all
- 24:13Speaker 11: predicated on him getting some kind of peace or ceasefire
- 24:16Speaker 11: that holds.
- 24:19Speaker 1: And then of course you've got the midterm elections, which
- 24:21Speaker 1: could custom control of the House of Representatives and the
- 24:24Speaker 1: sent and turn him into a lame duck. So the
- 24:26Speaker 1: stakes are extremely high. I just wonder Sean whether his
- 24:33Speaker 1: problem with getting Vladimir Putin on board, his problem with
- 24:39Speaker 1: making a deal with Hamas or that sticks, or with
- 24:43Speaker 1: Hezbala or with Iran, is that Trump thinks that everyone
- 24:47Speaker 1: is as pragmatic as he is, sort of driven by
- 24:50Speaker 1: the same calculation of money and power, you know, the
- 24:54Speaker 1: art of the deal, when in fact, with Putin is
- 24:57Speaker 1: dealing with a Russian xenophobe, with you know, dreams of conquest,
- 25:01Speaker 1: and with the Ran Hispalanamas is dealing with medieval religious crazies.
- 25:06Speaker 1: You'd happily die trying.
- 25:09Speaker 10: Yeah, and let's add China to the list, shall we.
- 25:13Speaker 10: I think one of the things that to me is.
- 25:16Speaker 11: In North Korea, who's you know, been largely quiet. But
- 25:19Speaker 11: I think sometimes in America we forget and you actually
- 25:22Speaker 11: point this out that we negotiate with people as if
- 25:25Speaker 11: we're dealing with people in our country or other you know,
- 25:29Speaker 11: Europeans or Australians, as opposed to people who, in the
- 25:32Speaker 11: case of the Iranians, just diametrically oppose us, hate us,
- 25:37Speaker 11: wish to overthrow us.
- 25:38Speaker 10: It is, it is in their DNA, in their blood.
- 25:41Speaker 11: And they don't They're not looking for a deal, a
- 25:43Speaker 11: financial deal where they'll be able to rebuild or have
- 25:46Speaker 11: control something.
- 25:47Speaker 10: They want to beat us, you know, to kill us.
- 25:50Speaker 11: And I think sometimes that gets lost on the negotiators.
- 25:56Speaker 1: I think that's absolutely correct. Will Will said the show.
- 26:00Speaker 1: I mean, I think the ultimate symbol of that was
- 26:02Speaker 1: where he sold try to sell Palestinians the Riviera on
- 26:06Speaker 1: the Mediterranean that it helped rebuild it. And it seems
- 26:09Speaker 1: to me there are too many people just want to
- 26:11Speaker 1: kill Jews to worry about that. Now the President has
- 26:15Speaker 1: got Australia to accept three used Virginia class nuclear submarines
- 26:21Speaker 1: under this Orcusttel instead of the promised two used ones
- 26:25Speaker 1: and one new one. Doesn't have a new one to
- 26:27Speaker 1: spare telling us that well, three used ones is better, easier, simpler.
- 26:32Speaker 1: Does this actually show the trouble the United States is
- 26:35Speaker 1: in trying to arm itself to meet this very dangerous
- 26:39Speaker 1: China challenge.
- 26:40Speaker 11: Well, it's a great question you're asking, because I think
- 26:43Speaker 11: the safer the rest of the world is, whether it's
- 26:46Speaker 11: NATO and NATO countries or Australia part of this aucust deal,
- 26:51Speaker 11: the better we all are, right, So I think you
- 26:53Speaker 11: guys are uniquely positioned when it comes to China, and
- 26:57Speaker 11: so the stronger Australia is as a country, as a navy,
- 27:01Speaker 11: as a military overall, and the same is true with
- 27:05Speaker 11: our brethren over there in Europe. The part of the
- 27:08Speaker 11: NATO forces, the better for us all, because if it's
- 27:11Speaker 11: just the United States that's carrying the burden, that's a problem.
- 27:14Speaker 10: So I like this.
- 27:16Speaker 11: In fact, I'm a huge fan of what Trump has
- 27:18Speaker 11: been doing to get NATO to live up to its
- 27:21Speaker 11: own obligations, because a stronger NATO is stronger Europe. A
- 27:24Speaker 11: stronger Australia is good for the world, it's good for
- 27:27Speaker 11: world peace, it's good as a check against China. So
- 27:30Speaker 11: you know, again, I think that we need to understand
- 27:33Speaker 11: that the US carrying and shouldering the burden isn't just
- 27:37Speaker 11: a financial thing. To kind of talk about or dovetail
- 27:40Speaker 11: off this negotiation thing. All of us collectively being stronger
- 27:45Speaker 11: is good collectively for world peace.
- 27:49Speaker 1: I totally agree with you on what is done with NATO.
- 27:53Speaker 1: I totally agree with you on the principle of making
- 27:56Speaker 1: Astray stronger. But I think the problem is, of course,
- 27:59Speaker 1: if you've done one of your scarce or do not donate,
- 28:02Speaker 1: sell one of your scarce nuclear submarines new to Australia
- 28:07Speaker 1: that could be lost in a war with China, not
- 28:10Speaker 1: an ally made stronger. As China rises, I'm afraid that
- 28:13Speaker 1: Australia may surrender. Sean Spice to thank you so much
- 28:17Speaker 1: for your time, you better see you next week. After
- 28:21Speaker 1: the break, the ABC announces a new podcast with Grace Tame,
- 28:26Speaker 1: who's called for an intifada in Australia. The panel after this. Now,
- 28:36Speaker 1: before I get to Grace Tame in the ABC, something
- 28:39Speaker 1: from Canberra that sounds to me, well, it could be ominous.
- 28:43Speaker 1: Now we've had America telling us right that, well, actually
- 28:46Speaker 1: these nuclear subs were going to sell you, the ones
- 28:49Speaker 1: Australia really paid one point six billion dollars for just
- 28:52Speaker 1: as a deposit. You're not going to get quite what
- 28:56Speaker 1: we promise to give you. We're going to give you
- 28:59Speaker 1: three years subs, not the two used ones and the
- 29:02Speaker 1: one knew that Australia was actually counting on. Well, this
- 29:07Speaker 1: has encouraged some labor to unleash on the anti Trump
- 29:13Speaker 1: and anti American then them there they're so inspired at
- 29:16Speaker 1: Hugh Sick, former minister today, tell the Labor party room
- 29:20Speaker 1: the whole deal should be off.
- 29:22Speaker 12: It should be rethought because I think based on the
- 29:26Speaker 12: production rates, based on reality, this is going to be
- 29:28Speaker 12: forced on us. They've got two shipyards only that build
- 29:31Speaker 12: these subs. They have workforce shortages, they have supply chain constraints,
- 29:37Speaker 12: they have quality concerns, and there's the complexity of the build.
- 29:41Speaker 1: The treasure.
- 29:42Speaker 13: Those said as if are we support the Orcas arrangement.
- 29:50Speaker 1: Now though long came former Labor ministers singer Peter Garrett
- 29:54Speaker 1: from Midnight Island. We all know that's one of the
- 29:56Speaker 1: Prime Minister's favorite bands. To say that his head a
- 30:00Speaker 1: so called people's inquiry into this Orcust steel, that he
- 30:04Speaker 1: is an anti new campaign from way back.
- 30:06Speaker 13: Hates The irony is that we are launching a public
- 30:10Speaker 13: inquiry in Parliament House where there has been no substantive
- 30:15Speaker 13: debate about aucust at all.
- 30:18Speaker 1: Joining Meir Meir Schlift, the executive director of the Samuel
- 30:21Speaker 1: Griffith Society, and Michael Danby, former federal labor politician and
- 30:25Speaker 1: chairman then of the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs,
- 30:27Speaker 1: Defense and Trade. Michael ed Huston, Competer Garrett plus former
- 30:31Speaker 1: premise of Paul Kedding all dead against the Orcist deal.
- 30:35Speaker 1: Isn't now serious split in labor brewing on this issue? Well?
- 30:40Speaker 3: Alas poor Ed I knew him well. I thought he
- 30:43Speaker 3: was just doing this for revenge, because he's not a
- 30:48Speaker 3: minister to sabotage our most important defense alignment. But looking
- 30:52Speaker 3: at that press conference and the preparation, and particularly the
- 30:56Speaker 3: presentation of that daft old admiral who was a part
- 30:59Speaker 3: of the game up there, who was saying that China
- 31:02Speaker 3: is going to take this, I think there's something much
- 31:04Speaker 3: more serious.
- 31:05Speaker 1: Barry.
- 31:06Speaker 3: I think this is an attempt to really put torpedo
- 31:10Speaker 3: orcus and I wouldn't underestimate it. I still think that
- 31:15Speaker 3: it will go ahead. But as Peter said on the
- 31:18Speaker 3: previous program to this, maybe they're pushing an open door.
- 31:21Speaker 3: Elbow has never been a great supporter of the American alliance.
- 31:28Speaker 1: Well, it's interesting, you know, Chris Barry is the admiral
- 31:30Speaker 1: you're thinking of. Here's one that I've picked a few
- 31:33Speaker 1: times for his extraordinary climate alarmism. And today he said, well,
- 31:37Speaker 1: China's going to be he's with this inquiry business and
- 31:40Speaker 1: he said, oh, China is there going to be the
- 31:42Speaker 1: world's great superpower soon, and we should adjust our defense
- 31:46Speaker 1: forces accordingly. I don't know what that means. We run
- 31:49Speaker 1: up the Chinese flag, we coump down, we sink all
- 31:53Speaker 1: our we surrender Miya schlift. Is this something? Is this
- 31:57Speaker 1: something we should worry about?
- 32:00Speaker 14: If that's a narrative that's been pushed forward, absolutely that's
- 32:03Speaker 14: something we should worry about. I mean the orciret still,
- 32:05Speaker 14: for a long time, Australia's defense capabilities has centered around
- 32:10Speaker 14: our alliance with the United States. And if we're seeing
- 32:12Speaker 14: this split in Labor that's a bit of a problem.
- 32:15Speaker 14: And whether that's because they don't think we're quite getting
- 32:17Speaker 14: a good deal with Orcis or whether that's because there's
- 32:20Speaker 14: this deep seated anti Trump sentiment that's been brewing in
- 32:23Speaker 14: the Labor Party for some time. Well, it doesn't really
- 32:25Speaker 14: matter if we want to get rid of Orcis, and
- 32:28Speaker 14: we better get really serious and really quick about our
- 32:31Speaker 14: defense capabilities here in Australia. We need to learn to
- 32:34Speaker 14: stand on our own two feet, which might not necessarily
- 32:37Speaker 14: be a bad thing. We definitely are not investing nearly
- 32:40Speaker 14: as much in defense as we should be. But certainly,
- 32:43Speaker 14: if this is a narrative that this government is going
- 32:45Speaker 14: to push out and communicate to the United States, we
- 32:48Speaker 14: need to get serious about our own defense capabilities here
- 32:50Speaker 14: in Australia.
- 32:53Speaker 1: If we're going to get serious, we're going to start
- 32:55Speaker 1: with this assumption that we cannot defend ourselves against China alone.
- 32:59Speaker 1: We do need in la And the only one in
- 33:01Speaker 1: the offering really is America loathed Trump or like him?
- 33:05Speaker 1: That is it. And so those that say oh no, no,
- 33:09Speaker 1: China's the rising force to me that has got really
- 33:12Speaker 1: big whiskers on it. Michael as I said earlier, Donald
- 33:16Speaker 1: Trump reportedly abusing Israel's Prime minister, telling Etnier, who is
- 33:21Speaker 1: effing crazy? You'd be in jail if Trump hadn't saved
- 33:25Speaker 1: this ass. Pardon for the language. That's apparently what Trump said.
- 33:29Speaker 1: And yeah, Trump said, everyone already hates Israel. Pull out
- 33:32Speaker 1: eleven on stop attacking. Is Trump speaking the truth or
- 33:35Speaker 1: is Trump being desperate?
- 33:38Speaker 3: Trump is unfortunately falling for an Iranian strategem, which is
- 33:43Speaker 3: to link what's happening in Lebanon with events in.
- 33:48Speaker 1: The Straits of Home Was.
- 33:49Speaker 3: I think you should concentrate just on that, because there's
- 33:52Speaker 3: a small military change, the introduction of FPV drones into
- 33:58Speaker 3: southern Lebanon and northern Israel that make northern Israel eighty
- 34:01Speaker 3: thousand people virtually uninhabitable. These are whire guided twenty kilometer
- 34:07Speaker 3: drones that the Uranians have given to Hezbollah to sabotage
- 34:11Speaker 3: the seats ceasefire in Lebanon.
- 34:14Speaker 1: And as you.
- 34:15Speaker 3: Said before, Andrew, the president of Lebanon, assuring Donald Trump
- 34:18Speaker 3: is no guarantee. He doesn't even control his own country.
- 34:21Speaker 3: He can't tell Hesbela what to do.
- 34:25Speaker 1: Yeah, And when you say, you know this wire god
- 34:28Speaker 1: of things, we're talking about drones now that have got
- 34:30Speaker 1: quite a bit of explosive on them, and they've got
- 34:32Speaker 1: these very very fine threads, so you can't What they
- 34:36Speaker 1: do is pass the radio signal all the way from
- 34:38Speaker 1: an operator on the ground through these threads twenty kilometers long.
- 34:42Speaker 1: They can go now, and you can't distrate these signals
- 34:45Speaker 1: with electronic warfare, no countermeasures unless you go through with
- 34:48Speaker 1: the giant peris is cut cut cut. Look, I'm running
- 34:52Speaker 1: out of time me, but so I'll skip to the
- 34:56Speaker 1: next one because I do want to get onto this.
- 35:01Speaker 1: The ABC has given a new podcast, as Opposed on
- 35:05Speaker 1: Autism to Grace Tame, who earlier this year called for
- 35:10Speaker 1: an interfada in Australia. And this is following the Bondo massacre,
- 35:14Speaker 1: which is what an interfada allegedly looks like. And the
- 35:19Speaker 1: ABC is now busy promoting this with friendly interviews like this.
- 35:24Speaker 1: We're here to talk to Grace Tame.
- 35:26Speaker 12: Thanks for joining us today, Grace yay, yeah, yeah.
- 35:30Speaker 6: You You've been called all sorts of things throughout your life, sensitive, divisive,
- 35:35Speaker 6: non compliant, and back in February you were called difficult.
- 35:39Speaker 12: Find an other than our prime minister.
- 35:40Speaker 1: I thought you were just listing things that my dad
- 35:42Speaker 1: said that. Now even host Charlie Pickering isn't impressed, as
- 35:47Speaker 1: he told a vmeny of Rebel News have looked.
- 35:51Speaker 15: I do actually think it's problematic. That's my personal opinion.
- 35:55Speaker 15: And I think as you would understand and as a
- 35:59Speaker 15: Jewish Australian. There is a complete misunderstanding of a lot
- 36:02Speaker 15: of the words that are said and what the true
- 36:03Speaker 15: meaning of them are, and a lot of people are
- 36:05Speaker 15: using words and phrases that have meaning well beyond what
- 36:09Speaker 15: they think they do.
- 36:11Speaker 1: The word and phrase being globalized with intofada grace time
- 36:15Speaker 1: a good ABC higher.
- 36:18Speaker 14: Mia absolutely not Andrew, I cannot believe this decision, even
- 36:23Speaker 14: coming from the ABC. This is still a shock to me.
- 36:26Speaker 14: It's more than just tone death for the wrong decision.
- 36:29Speaker 14: This is a calculated one they have made, and to
- 36:32Speaker 14: platform someone who has said such horrendous thing time after
- 36:37Speaker 14: time and has not only made those errors and had
- 36:40Speaker 14: serious lapses in judgment, she has also shown not a
- 36:43Speaker 14: single ounce of remorse for those comments and the damage
- 36:47Speaker 14: that has inflicted since. So for me, I cannot believe
- 36:50Speaker 14: the ABC is pursuing this at every single step along
- 36:54Speaker 14: the way. The ABC seems determined to divide this country
- 36:57Speaker 14: and I think it's only a matter of times until
- 36:59Speaker 14: we start questioning why we're still being forced to fund them.
- 37:03Speaker 1: Yeah, now me, I've got to question you. I've got
- 37:07Speaker 1: to interrogate you here, hold you up here, because you
- 37:10Speaker 1: twice said I cannot believe that the ABC would do this. Seriously, unfortunately,
- 37:16Speaker 1: I could. Do you really mean that?
- 37:19Speaker 10: Well?
- 37:19Speaker 14: I think the ABC for some time now has really
- 37:22Speaker 14: tested my patience. But for me, this is a young
- 37:25Speaker 14: woman who has come out. She has made these comments
- 37:28Speaker 14: such as globalizing into FATA after the tragic Bondai massacre,
- 37:31Speaker 14: and she has shown no remorse and I think it's unfortunately.
- 37:35Speaker 14: Perhaps many Australians across the country do believe that the
- 37:38Speaker 14: ABC could make such a decision, and that's why so
- 37:41Speaker 14: many have lost faith. And if you look at the
- 37:43Speaker 14: polling as the number of Australians who no longer want
- 37:45Speaker 14: to fund the ABC, those numbers are quite shocking and
- 37:49Speaker 14: I think it's time that our parliamentarians responded.
- 37:53Speaker 1: Well, it's turned the liberal Paty got the guts to
- 37:56Speaker 1: say the ABC must be privatised a subscription service Scane news.
- 38:02Speaker 1: There's no reason why all taxpayers should have to fund it.
- 38:05Speaker 1: If they want to do this sort of stuff, let
- 38:08Speaker 1: them be paid for both people who appreciate it, not
- 38:11Speaker 1: certainly not by people like me or you at that matter, Michael.
- 38:16Speaker 1: Extraordinary decision, really, isn't it. Well?
- 38:19Speaker 3: The ABC has got less digital subscribers than Sky already,
- 38:23Speaker 3: but that's in the digital area. I think that their
- 38:26Speaker 3: audience would collapse if they were forced to go to
- 38:30Speaker 3: subscription or if there was some voluntary element in it.
- 38:35Speaker 3: I just can't believe how they constantly signal they don't
- 38:39Speaker 3: make any attempt to make allowances for their bad behavior.
- 38:46Speaker 3: The reporting of their Middle East correspondence is universally shocking.
- 38:52Speaker 3: There's always the human interest story in civilians who've been
- 38:56Speaker 3: killed when Israel Is in South Lebanon, But there's nothing
- 38:59Speaker 3: about these FPV drones that you know about that come
- 39:03Speaker 3: from the war in Ukraine that have been pushed in
- 39:05Speaker 3: there by China Vyer Iran to make Donald Trump's life worse.
- 39:10Speaker 1: And you know, you just have.
- 39:12Speaker 3: Endless propaganda from the ABC on all kinds of issues,
- 39:16Speaker 3: from grace tame to the war in the Middle East.
- 39:21Speaker 1: Absolutely, what do you think me? Do you think it's
- 39:25Speaker 1: like the Liberals are too scared, to say privatised to
- 39:29Speaker 1: sell the ABC because I think one a number of
- 39:32Speaker 1: them think that the ABC is great, and the other
- 39:35Speaker 1: is they I think the ABC will kill them, will
- 39:37Speaker 1: murder them in an election campaign. Do you think the
- 39:40Speaker 1: ABC is too big to challenge, or it's too obviously
- 39:44Speaker 1: a problem to ignore.
- 39:46Speaker 14: No, I think it's absolutely too obvious for a problem
- 39:48Speaker 14: to ignore. We passed the point here, or we can
- 39:50Speaker 14: ignore such a large issue in this country. I think
- 39:53Speaker 14: what's interesting is Pauline Hanson has made her stance very
- 39:56Speaker 14: clear on what she thinks should be done with the ABC,
- 39:58Speaker 14: and that is of course funded. And I think it's
- 40:02Speaker 14: only a matter of time that maybe the Liberals wake
- 40:04Speaker 14: up to the fact that this is what Australians really want.
- 40:07Speaker 14: The rot in the ABC is too deep. It doesn't
- 40:10Speaker 14: matter what change of leadership we see. We've seen a
- 40:13Speaker 14: number of leaders come in and say that they are
- 40:15Speaker 14: going to reform the way the ABC works and try
- 40:18Speaker 14: and stamp out some of this ideology. And time after time,
- 40:21Speaker 14: the ABC just proved that it is beyond saving.
- 40:26Speaker 1: It is beyond saving absolutely. Imircially Michael Danby, thank you
- 40:30Speaker 1: to you both. After the break outrage in Britain as
- 40:34Speaker 1: police handcuff a teenager falsely accused of racism as he
- 40:38Speaker 1: lies dying at their feet from the stab wounds of
- 40:43Speaker 1: the man who accused them. Now warning, I'm going to
- 40:50Speaker 1: show video that they will upset some viewers. Britain is
- 40:55Speaker 1: a torn country and now comes a tragedy that's going
- 40:58Speaker 1: to rip it wider apart. Eighteen year old Henry Noaki
- 41:03Speaker 1: was walking down the street when he was stabbed by
- 41:05Speaker 1: a young Sikh man carrying a knife as part of
- 41:08Speaker 1: his religion. When police turned up, that man victim, do
- 41:12Speaker 1: you he lied? He falsely claimed Henry had racially abused him. Incredibly,
- 41:20Speaker 1: the police then handcuffed the dying Henry the victim and
- 41:26Speaker 1: not his killer, even though Henry told them repeatedly he
- 41:29Speaker 1: had been stabbed and had trouble breathing. And again, some
- 41:34Speaker 1: of you may find this vision disturbing. You've been starved whereabouts.
- 41:44Speaker 13: To pick up?
- 41:48Speaker 1: And now victorim Digwa was yesterday given a life sentence,
- 41:53Speaker 1: but Henry's father is naturally still devastated and this has
- 41:57Speaker 1: become a political storm.
- 42:00Speaker 3: Instead of being treated as a dying victim, police formally
- 42:04Speaker 3: arrested Henry for assault and read in his right that
- 42:08Speaker 3: was the last thing he heard.
- 42:12Speaker 1: Indeed, Reform leader Nigel Faraj just turn this into a
- 42:16Speaker 1: campaigning issue.
- 42:18Speaker 16: A young man is stabbed five times in the street,
- 42:23Speaker 16: the police are called the assailant, the man who's committed
- 42:27Speaker 16: the stabbing, says mister Novak made racist comments as a
- 42:31Speaker 16: result of that, The police don't believe that he's been stabbed,
- 42:37Speaker 16: don't check that he's been stabbed, put him in handcuffs
- 42:41Speaker 16: and he dies lying on the ground. Does this remind
- 42:45Speaker 16: you of the George Floyd case just a few years
- 42:48Speaker 16: ago that happened in the Midwest of America. Within twenty
- 42:51Speaker 16: four hours of that, because Floyd was black, we had
- 42:55Speaker 16: Parliament statue being defaced in Parliament Square of the most
- 43:01Speaker 16: extraordinary kind. And yet, and yet, has the Prime Minister
- 43:06Speaker 16: taken them the knee for this young man in the
- 43:08Speaker 16: way that he did for George Floyd? Has he Hell,
- 43:11Speaker 16: it's almost as if because he's white and he was
- 43:15Speaker 16: accused of racism that nobody cares.
- 43:19Speaker 1: Joining me from London is Talk TV host Samara gild Samara,
- 43:23Speaker 1: thank you for your time. Again, people do care. Of course,
- 43:26Speaker 1: the family went on to praise the detectives who took
- 43:30Speaker 1: over the case from the police of the year scene,
- 43:33Speaker 1: some of whom since quit. But what has been the
- 43:37Speaker 1: wider reaction.
- 43:40Speaker 5: Look, the reaction is the fact that today we can
- 43:44Speaker 5: clearly see with this case that an accusation of a
- 43:47Speaker 5: racial slur is treated more seriously by the police than
- 43:51Speaker 5: actual murder. Andrew, that's what's going on here, and that's
- 43:54Speaker 5: because of all this crazy positive discrimination that's been brought in. Interestingly,
- 44:00Speaker 5: a Southampton police officer, so the same constabulary that was
- 44:04Speaker 5: to do with Henry Noak's case, leaked to the Telegraph
- 44:09Speaker 5: last night that police officers are told that they must
- 44:13Speaker 5: respond in different ways according to the ethnicity of those
- 44:16Speaker 5: involved in the crime. They're also told, or he basically
- 44:20Speaker 5: said that there is a dei agenda whereby people get
- 44:23Speaker 5: promoted not on the basis of merit, but on the
- 44:27Speaker 5: basis of their racial or religious origin. And this story
- 44:30Speaker 5: is particularly harrowing because someone else also called nine nine
- 44:34Speaker 5: nine at the same time as this happened and said
- 44:38Speaker 5: that someone had been stabbed, referring to Henry.
- 44:41Speaker 10: Again.
- 44:41Speaker 5: The police did not believe that person and believed Vicram Digwa,
- 44:45Speaker 5: who at the time him and his family were already
- 44:49Speaker 5: hiding evidence and conspiring against Henry Noak and trying to basically,
- 44:54Speaker 5: they took his phone, they tried to discarded that which
- 44:57Speaker 5: had the recording of what happened on it, and also,
- 45:00Speaker 5: of course the kirpan, which may I remind the Australian
- 45:04Speaker 5: audience is still legal to carry in Australia, and that
- 45:07Speaker 5: is the Sikh ceremonial sword, which absolutely does not have
- 45:12Speaker 5: to be carried in Australia. My own father is from
- 45:14Speaker 5: the region where there are many Sikhs that lived there
- 45:18Speaker 5: in India, and you just carry a tiny one. You
- 45:20Speaker 5: don't have to be carrying a massive ceremonial knife, the
- 45:23Speaker 5: one that killed Henry Noak.
- 45:28Speaker 1: It's so strange Samara, where you think police attend a
- 45:32Speaker 1: scene there's a guy on the ground saying I've been stabbed,
- 45:37Speaker 1: There's a guy standing up saying I've been racially abused,
- 45:42Speaker 1: and they react to the guy who says has been
- 45:47Speaker 1: racially abused like that is the most heinous thing they've
- 45:51Speaker 1: been told. Of the two stories, It's even.
- 45:55Speaker 5: Worse than that, Andrew, because I was actually reading the
- 45:58Speaker 5: court documents last night and Bigram Digwa was afforded a
- 46:03Speaker 5: level of decency that Henry was not. Reports suggest he
- 46:07Speaker 5: wasn't even handcuffed when he was arrested. He was the murderer,
- 46:10Speaker 5: he wasn't even handcuffed. Also, officers reportedly took Digwa to
- 46:15Speaker 5: the kitchen and allowed him to choose his own food
- 46:19Speaker 5: while he was in custody. Again, special treatment for the
- 46:22Speaker 5: murderer who had slashed, stabbed and then lied to the
- 46:27Speaker 5: police and law enforcement all the way through this. And
- 46:31Speaker 5: this special treatment cannot go on. As Farage has been saying,
- 46:35Speaker 5: it seems like it's one rule for British people and
- 46:39Speaker 5: then another for any ethnic minority, and that just can't
- 46:43Speaker 5: go on. It needs to be one rule for all.
- 46:45Speaker 5: And unfortunately, or fortunately, this is a tipping point for
- 46:49Speaker 5: Britain to say, we cannot be pandering to other cultures
- 46:54Speaker 5: in this way. We need to make sure that there
- 46:57Speaker 5: is fairness in every single level of society. Fish rots
- 47:00Speaker 5: from the head downwards and unfortunately, this is an institutional
- 47:05Speaker 5: problem that Britain is now dealing with. And an eighteen
- 47:08Speaker 5: year old is dead and not able to live his
- 47:10Speaker 5: life because of this institutional rot.
- 47:15Speaker 1: I see that the London Daily Telegraph, as just the
- 47:19Speaker 1: last hour or so I think, led this on its website.
- 47:24Speaker 1: At least this is two tier justice. They're going very
- 47:28Speaker 1: big on it. That's one of the words great papers.
- 47:30Speaker 1: One of my very very favorites is Henry's death and
- 47:33Speaker 1: the initial police reaction. Just the tragedy, is it just
- 47:37Speaker 1: the random crime or as a symbol, as you seem
- 47:40Speaker 1: to suggest, there of something wider, as Farage obviously claims.
- 47:47Speaker 5: I think when we look at the details the way
- 47:50Speaker 5: that as you showed in that video Andrew police totally
- 47:54Speaker 5: didn't believe Henry, didn't even check the fact that he
- 47:57Speaker 5: had well he had a slash on his face we know,
- 47:59Speaker 5: and he had slashes in his legs and growing area,
- 48:02Speaker 5: and he was internally bleeding. We do know that even
- 48:05Speaker 5: if police had acted, they couldn't have helped him because
- 48:07Speaker 5: that's how deep the wounds were. But you're right, it's
- 48:11Speaker 5: a bigger problem when you see the details and you
- 48:14Speaker 5: see the mistreatment of Henry and how his word was
- 48:17Speaker 5: used against him.
- 48:21Speaker 1: Well, honestly, Britain has got some accounty to do it.
- 48:24Speaker 1: I mean, the whole poison of race politics in the West.
- 48:29Speaker 1: You're getting stupidity on still slight this, Samara Gill, thank
- 48:33Speaker 1: you so much for your time. Talk to you next week. Honestly,
- 48:38Speaker 1: the whole identity politics stuff has crippled the West, really
- 48:43Speaker 1: has That's it from me. Coming up next is the
- 48:46Speaker 1: excellent Sharry markson Good Night
