  Speaker 1: Line from the Skying You Center. This is the Kenny Report.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining me. So much to come as we
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: digest the history unfolding around us. I'll explain to you
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the fundamental reasons that Donald Trump won and why Kamala
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Harris and the left failed. I'll show you why the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Trump victory is encouraging news for Peter Dutton and the coalition.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: And I'll show you how the green left media, including
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: our ABC, fools itself and deceives its audiences. All that
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: plus more immigration pain for labor. I've got Kristen Tate
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: joining me again, Tom Switzer, Tim Blair, mart Nicholson, Ross
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Greenwood in New York City, Keith Pitt and Alexander down A.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Time is going to be tight. Let's get cracking plenty
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: on the US election tonight. But I reckon the best
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: place to start is what it means for our political
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: contest in Australia. What are the lessons from Donald Trump's
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: triumph for the federal election due sometime between fed and
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: May next year. And the bottom line is this, while
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Peter Dutton faces a more difficult task in many ways,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the pointers, the indicators are all to the good. They
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: all favor the Coalition under Dutton, with warning signals out
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: of the US for Anthony Albanisi and Labor. First, there's
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the diminishing advantage of incumbency. Voters used to like giving
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: their leaders their governments a second chance. That's less true
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: now in the US. And here the US has now
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: gone Trump Biden and back to Trump. Kamala Harris was
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: effectively running for a second term of the Biden administration,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and she failed comprehensively. That's encouraging for Dutton and the Coalition.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: If governments don't perform, voters in our fast paced age
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: are now more willing to punt them. But more to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the point are the issues and the way they favored
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Trump and will favor Dutton. Number one, as always is
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the economy, and in these high inflation times, hits the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: cost of living, and Trump showed the way on this
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: a theme he hammered, I'd like.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: To begin by asking you a very simple question, Are
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: you better off now than you were four years ago?
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: That is a powerful question because we all know the answer.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: It went a long way to delivering the election for
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. And it's even more powerful for Dutton to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: ask that same question because remember what we were promised.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: We will put in place mechanisms that provide cost of
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: living relief, a better future with real plans to address
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: is the cost of living, taking pressure off the cost
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: of living, addressing cost of living issues.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Meaning for help with your cost of living. Yeah, the
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: broken promise on the cost of living, the broken promise
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: on electricity prices. In short, it's the economy stupid. It
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: can be the winner for Dutton that it was for Trump.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: But the other crew issue in the US is also
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: mirrored here. The Biden administration gave Kamala Harris special responsibility
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: for border control, but they completely lost control of the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Mexican border. Millions of illegal immigrants have surged into the US,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: resulting in social, criminal, and economic problems. This was pivotable,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: pivotal in the Trump campaign.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: With your vote on Tuesday, I will end inflation, I
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: will stop the invasion of criminals coming into our country,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and I will bring back the American dream. We're going
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: to bring back the American dream.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. In Australia, labor has lost control of immigration. Record
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: numbers are coming in. Labor admits it's too high, that
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: it's fueling our cost of living and housing crises, but
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: they've been unable to manage it. They've also seen criminal
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: non citizens freed from detention, and just yesterday their laws
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: to monitor them were quashed by the High Court. Dutton,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: like Trump, has a good record on immigration and border security,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and that brings me to one other similarity. These are
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: dangerous times at home and abroad. There's a war in
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Europe and in the Middle East, and China is belligerent
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: in East Asia. And Trump presented as a strong leader
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: opposed to Harris who came across as week in an
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: administration that's been weak on these issues here in Australia.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Alberanizi has been weak on the Middle East, week on
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: anti Semitism, week on China, ambivalent on Ukraine, and week
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: on border protection. Peter Dutton is strong. Labour attacks him
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: for being too tough. They frame him as heartless, just
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: as the left does with Donald Trump. But we always
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: need strong leaders, and especially at times like these, the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: times suit Peter Dutton. His path the victory is more
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: complex than Trump's was, but the core lessons are there
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: and they are all encouraging for the coalition. Okay, let's
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: get back to what occurred in the United States. What
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump did right and what the Democrats and the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: left did wrong. Surely no one questions the political genius
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: of Donald Trump. Now, yeah, he's grass and disrespectful and
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: sometimes goes too far, but he never loses touch with
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the real issues that concern mainstream America. He's in touch
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: with voters' priorities, and he's relentless about driving the debate
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: back to those issues, immigration, jobs, the cost of living,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: national strength, and family security. He talks to the people's
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: agenda and ignores the media agenda, the elite agenda. Trump
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: cuts through. Even when a bullet slashed his ear, he
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: instinctively knew how to respond, not just for himself but
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: for his supporters and his campaign. And last night, at
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the end of a remarkable fight that saw him battle impeachments, conspiracies,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: civil suits, criminal charges, and media barrages, he struck the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: right tone.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Frankly, this was I believe the greatest political movement of
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: all time. There's ever been anything like this in this country,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: and maybe be and now it's going to reach a
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: new level of importance because we're going to.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Help our country. Here, We're going to help our country.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Here were the trouble for Trump's opponents, primarily the Democrats,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: but let's be frank, most of the media, two plus
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Hollywood and the so called elites. The trouble is that
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: most of them never got past abusing Trump. Yeah, they
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: always demonized conservative leaders, think Ronaldagan and Margaret Thatcher, think
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: even John Howard, but with Trump it reached another level.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: They did it for years running up to the twenty
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: sixteen campaign, but Trump shrugged it off and beat them. Then,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: instead of going away and coming up with better policies
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and a strong candidate, they just relentlessly attacked Trump as president.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: You know, he was illegitimate because he didn't carry the
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: popular vote. He was a traitor installed by Russia. All
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: sorts of rancid nonsense, amplified by the media, including our
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: own ABC here, and by judicial authorities in the US.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: A disgraceful tactic that certainly helped them defeat Trump in
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty, but it wasn't the main reason. That's the trouble.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: When they won in twenty twenty, they believed their own
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: publicity and went on with their big government and woke agenda.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: But their abuse didn't defeat Trump, even when he kept
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: coming back like the terminator. They tried the same thing again.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Where was their agenda, where was their record? Where was
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: their candidate? Where was their president? You see, the thing
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: that won it for the Democrats in twenty twenty was
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the voter turnout. You can see from the overall turnout
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: numbers election to election that twenty twenty elections saw an
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: extra twenty million votes near enough. And while they must
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: have known why this happened, the Democrats failed to understand
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the ramifications. See that was the COVID election. Special electoral
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: rules were brought in state by state, liberalizing mail in
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: ballot rules. Democrat campaigners and union workers and others were
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: able to take mail in ballots to millions of people
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: who don't normally vote, get them filled in, and get
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: them back to a ballot box. Now, am I saying
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: this was illegal? No? Am I saying the election was stolen? No?
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: But I'm saying that was always going to boost the
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Democrat vote, and I said it at the time. My
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: point is, as long as they have this mail in system,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: supposed to be just for this election because of COVID,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: But as long as that happens where everybody has the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: chance to mail in the ballot. You can actually rig
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: that run, take advantage of it in what might be
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: a very very politically sneaky way, but nothing illegal about it.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: If you've got enough organizers to knock on doors to
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: tell people that we'll collect your ballot, you fill it
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: in there and we'll take it for you, I mean,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: that's not illegal, but it's going to massively enhance your vote.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: And it did. Now why does this matter now? Well
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: because instead of realizing those votes wouldn't be there this
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: time and coming up with a better candidate, better policies
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: are a better strategy against Trump, they just stuck to
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: their same old Trump derangement syndrome. They never learned this mob.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: One election, the Democrats and the media had Trump as
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: a Russian plant, the next they had him as Hitler.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: But there's literally a floating island of garbage in the
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: middle of the ocean right now.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's called Puerto Rico.
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: Donald Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden comes days after
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: his own former chief of staff went on record to
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: describe his former boss as a fascist. But that jamboree
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: happening right now. You see it there on your screen.
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: In that place is particularly chilling because in nineteen thirty nine,
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: more than twenty thousand supporters of a different fascist leader,
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: Adolf Hitler, packed the garden for a so called pro
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: America rally.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: This stuff is literally insane, yet they think it passes
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: full political debate. It's as if the left are not
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: so much interested in speaking to voters but appealing to
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: their own prejudices. Kamala Harris didn't even address his supporters
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: all the nation last night, and we brought you instant reaction.
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: That she didn't have some grace. I mean, it shows
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: us how classless she actually is, a sore loser, and
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: even though it's painful for her, for the Democrats, I
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: think America might be relieved.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Barbara hannebec struck a chord last night. That clip's
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: been viewed by millions of people on YouTube. Yet listen
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: to what Harris said today.
• 11:13
  Speaker 8: I am so proud of the race we ran and
• 11:17
  Speaker 8: the way we ran it.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Really, let me remind you about the way they ran it.
• 11:25
  Speaker 8: I took on perpetrators of all kinds, Predators who abused women,
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: for their own gain. So hear me when I say
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: I know Donald Trump's tight.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: The fascist depend on fear.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: The fascist depend on us going back.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: But we're not afraid of weird people.
• 11:57
  Speaker 9: If we don't show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible
• 12:04
  Speaker 9: that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast
• 12:07
  Speaker 9: a ballot again.
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: It makes me.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: We're here talking about a like do.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: You think Donald Trump is a fascist?
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: I do, Yes, I do. Now.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: My point about this is not that it's horrible, although
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: it is. Not that it undermines public debate although it does.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Not that it's divisive, although obviously it is. The point
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: is the idiocy of this from the Democrats point of view.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: It doesn't stop Trump. It empowers him, and it fires
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: up his followers, confirms him as an outsider, and it
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: distracts the Democrats from debating policies and doing sensible things
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: like fixing the borders or making energy cheaper. Personal abuse
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: does not cut it as a political strategy. The US
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: election also again demonstrates the culpability of most of the media.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: They do not report the truth, They hide from it.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: They deny reality because they don't like it, and then
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: they're surprised when it hits them in the face and
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: think about this. She did this in too much, She.
• 13:32
  Speaker 10: Did this in too much.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: She don't get it out of you know.
• 13:35
  Speaker 10: Yes, look, you know everybody can always say, oh, she
• 13:39
  Speaker 10: should have done this, she should have done this.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: She said, she did what she did.
• 13:42
  Speaker 10: She was everywhere, she talked to everybody, and people didn't
• 13:45
  Speaker 10: come out. I don't know why. And it doesn't even matter.
• 13:49
  Speaker 10: He's now the president. I'm still not going to say
• 13:51
  Speaker 10: his name.
• 13:54
  Speaker 11: That's going to.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: The threats to do mass deportation and violent start, violent
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: start to his dictatorship on d wine and you name it.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: And we have the same dynamic here in Australia. The
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: green left media demonizes Trump. It rails against him, as
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: they have done for a decade. They don't report his positives,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: they boost his opponents, and then when real people get
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: to cast real votes, they seemed shocked and sullen.
• 14:24
  Speaker 11: So I have to ask you the hard question first,
• 14:26
  Speaker 11: Jeff Blyitch, is it over for Kamala Harris?
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I think it most likely is. The ABC last night
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: tried to keep reality at bay, not calling the election
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: till four hours after Tom Connell called it first here
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: on Sky.
• 14:43
  Speaker 11: News, we can now say that Donald Trump is the
• 14:47
  Speaker 11: next president of the United States. The Associated Press now
• 14:51
  Speaker 11: projecting that Donald Trump has won the state of Wisconsin,
• 14:56
  Speaker 11: one that we were waiting for, and that of course
• 14:58
  Speaker 11: pushes him beyond the two one hundred and seventy Electoral.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: College votes needed to win.
• 15:04
  Speaker 11: So Karmala Harris defeated in her bid to keep the
• 15:06
  Speaker 11: White House under Democratic Party control, and the poppers will
• 15:12
  Speaker 11: now crack andy.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: It did seem inevitable.
• 15:16
  Speaker 11: But Donald Trump is the next president, the forty seventh
• 15:19
  Speaker 11: president of the United States.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised they weren't all wearing black and playing Wagner.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: The trouble is that, because of their political or ideo
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: ideological bias, the ABC misleads its audiences. I mean, there's
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: a good chance ABC regulars were surprised by the result.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe they weren't even aware that the polling looked very
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: prospective for Donald Trump because they were fed distorted information.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, listen to what they said about one outlier
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: poll in the small Republican state of Iowa on the
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: eve of the election. Is it a poll that is.
• 15:56
  Speaker 12: Going to be a sort of predictor of what might happen?
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: If accurate, it would reshape the overall results.
• 16:03
  Speaker 13: But if Kamala Harris wins Iowa, she'll therefore almost certainly
• 16:08
  Speaker 13: win Michigan and Wisconsin, in which case she would be
• 16:12
  Speaker 13: elected president almost certainly if those numbers hold.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, wow. For the record, Trump one Iowa by
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: about thirteen percentage points. These people believe what they want
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: to believe, don't they. But their job is to give
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: audiences an insight into reality. They failed badly. But then
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: for some of them, it seems this was not really
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: an election between two major parties, but a visceral contest
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: between good and evil.
• 16:41
  Speaker 13: He's very much building a campaign based on fear. It's
• 16:46
  Speaker 13: fear of the enemy within. It's fear of so called
• 16:49
  Speaker 13: Venezuelan gangs who are armed with military grade weapons. It's
• 16:53
  Speaker 13: fear of, you know, this country being swamped. It's fear
• 16:58
  Speaker 13: of the future versus Kamala Rus is very much building
• 17:01
  Speaker 13: something looking at the future and hope. And so, to
• 17:06
  Speaker 13: almost use a pun, the question is, will will fear
• 17:10
  Speaker 13: Trump hope.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Fear versus hope? Listen to him? What planet is he
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: on your tax dollars? Sent that bloke to Washington? And
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: listen to him? John Lyons after Trump one last night.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: He seems to think this is a disaster for every
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: nation on the planet.
• 17:28
  Speaker 13: All of the bitterness of having had an election stolen
• 17:31
  Speaker 13: from him. In his view, he's now back in power.
• 17:35
  Speaker 13: He thought the elite thought he was down and out.
• 17:38
  Speaker 13: He's back in there now. So everything he's wanted to do,
• 17:40
  Speaker 13: this is the last chance to learn now. So I
• 17:44
  Speaker 13: think we're in for a trade war with China Ukraine tonight.
• 17:49
  Speaker 13: Ukraine will be devastated by this result. I think it's
• 17:52
  Speaker 13: devastating news as it is for Ukraine, for the Palestinians
• 17:56
  Speaker 13: as well, and the Lebanese.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: On the contrary, there is a strong case to believe
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: the return of Trump provides hope for peace through strength
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: in the Middle East and perhaps even in Ukraine. Trump's
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: return should be bad news for Russia, for China, for Iran,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: for Hamas and Hesbalah, and apparently it's bad news for
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: the ABC two. Let's bring in Tom Switzer from the
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Center of Independent Studies Alive from Sydney. Thanks for joining us, Tom,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you enjoyed that. Let me get from you
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: a sensible take on foreign policy implications for the Donald
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Trump presidency. Mark two, because it will provide a shakeup,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: there will be ramifications in the Middle East and in Ukraine.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: What do you expect to see happen.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Opinion varies.
• 18:54
  Speaker 14: The likes of Sir Neil Ferguson believe that Donald Trump's
• 18:58
  Speaker 14: administration will fully recognize the nature of the China Russia
• 19:03
  Speaker 14: Iran axis that you mentioned earlier, and that they will
• 19:06
  Speaker 14: go to great lengths to defeat that acxis. But then
• 19:09
  Speaker 14: there's another school of thought, led by the likes of
• 19:11
  Speaker 14: Professor John Meersheimer, who has connections within the Trump administration,
• 19:15
  Speaker 14: who believes that America will be less focused on Europe,
• 19:18
  Speaker 14: less focus over time or should be less focused on
• 19:20
  Speaker 14: over time in the Middle East, and more focus on
• 19:23
  Speaker 14: East Asia, pivot to East Asia to contain China, which
• 19:27
  Speaker 14: is the great power threat that the United States faces.
• 19:31
  Speaker 14: My own view is that Trump is unpredictable. He's an
• 19:34
  Speaker 14: erratic character and it's not altogether clear what he thinks.
• 19:37
  Speaker 14: But we'll be able to assess what he thinks after
• 19:41
  Speaker 14: he's assembled the various leading US foreign policy officials, so
• 19:46
  Speaker 14: Secretary of State, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and
• 19:49
  Speaker 14: then the National Security Advisor.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: That unpredictability, which is undoubted. Is that not one of
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: his great strategic assets. Does that not keep Vladimir Putin
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: and the Mullers in a guessing Yeah?
• 20:03
  Speaker 14: Absolutely, And you may recall in early twenty twenty he
• 20:07
  Speaker 14: took out the Iranian general in Iraq, which completely sideswiped
• 20:16
  Speaker 14: the Mullers in Tehran. So he's not a dove. Yes,
• 20:19
  Speaker 14: he's America first, but he's hardly a non interventionist. He's
• 20:22
  Speaker 14: prepared to throw American power around.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: In the world.
• 20:26
  Speaker 14: And the best example of that, of course, was when he,
• 20:28
  Speaker 14: unlike his predecessor Barack Obama, decided to impose the Red
• 20:34
  Speaker 14: Lines on Basha Assad in Syria when the Assad regime
• 20:40
  Speaker 14: used chemical weapons not just once but twice, and that
• 20:43
  Speaker 14: met retaliation from the Trump administration. So he is prepared
• 20:46
  Speaker 14: to use force and play hardball against America's adversaries.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Now looking to Australia, I don't want to get into
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: petty partisan retaliation against Kevin Rada or all the rest
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: of it. I do like to have some fun with him, sure,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: but is he in a position, given what he said
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: about Trump in the past, to help our national interest
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: in Washington, or should Anthony Albanezi quietly switch him out.
• 21:09
  Speaker 14: I understand those concerns because Kevin Rudd did diss Donald
• 21:14
  Speaker 14: Trump many times over.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: The last few years.
• 21:18
  Speaker 14: But remember, you know your old boss, Chris Malcolm Turnbull
• 21:22
  Speaker 14: also dissed Donald Trump.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: You're a bastard, Tom Switzerland when you mentioned my old bosses,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: What don't you say Alexander down or John Olson? Why
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: does it have to be Malcolm Turnbule? But carry on.
• 21:39
  Speaker 14: Anyway, But the point here is that Turnbull did criticize
• 21:42
  Speaker 14: Donald Trump during the twenty seventeen twenty sixteen period, and
• 21:45
  Speaker 14: of course Trump became Prime Minister, and then of course
• 21:48
  Speaker 14: Donald Trump won the election, and Trump and Turnbull, of
• 21:51
  Speaker 14: course I don't see why, do I now? But they
• 21:54
  Speaker 14: had a reasonably good relationship while they were both in power.
• 21:57
  Speaker 14: So my sense is that, you know, the thing about
• 22:00
  Speaker 14: right is he's not just a relentless self promoter, but
• 22:02
  Speaker 14: he's very good at smoothing people. And I think he's
• 22:04
  Speaker 14: gone to great links already smoothing senior operatives within the
• 22:07
  Speaker 14: Republican Party, including the running mate seed event of JD.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Evans just very quickly. We're nearly out of time. But
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: apart from being a foreign policy analyst. You're a great
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: student of American history. Where does this political comeback rank?
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 22:22
  Speaker 14: As I say in the Financial Review today, this is
• 22:24
  Speaker 14: undoubtedly the greatest political comeback in modern history. I mean
• 22:27
  Speaker 14: we often talk about the John Howard's and the Robert Menzies,
• 22:30
  Speaker 14: and the Winston Churchills. The doctor Mahatis who came back
• 22:33
  Speaker 14: after fifteen years in exile at the age of ninety
• 22:35
  Speaker 14: two to be the leader of Malaysia, Shinzo Abe. Look,
• 22:39
  Speaker 14: this is extraordinary. There's nothing like it. It's one's a
• 22:42
  Speaker 14: comeback for the ages, given everything that's been thrown at him.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: He was widely discredited and.
• 22:47
  Speaker 14: A diminished figure three to four years ago, and he's
• 22:50
  Speaker 14: bounced back. As I say in the Financial Review, every
• 22:53
  Speaker 14: time the critics have given Donald Trump the kiss of death,
• 22:57
  Speaker 14: it's mouth to mouth resuscitation and bounces back absolutely force.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: It feels and well said, Tom. Thanks for joining us.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Tom Switzer there, Yes, you can read
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: that in the Australian Financial Review. Great columna. Apologize for
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: my language exchange. I'm getting all trumpy and already. Let
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: me bring in Sky News contributor Kristen tape joining us
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: live from Princeton, New Jersey. Good to talk to you, Kristin.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: I hope you got some sleep. You're probably up drinking
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: the bubbles all night. But I'll tell you somebody eventually
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: got up today and addressed the nation, and that was
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. What did you make of what she had
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: to say?
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just don't see any introspection from Kamala Harris
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: or the Democrats. There. Nobody on on the left right
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: now is asking why did people vote for Trump? They're
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: just asking how could people vote for Trump? We've seen
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: her behavior after and throughout this election show that she
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: has no respect even for her own voters and the
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: people who worked for her. You showed that quip in
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: the previous segment of a Democrat coming out and saying,
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: I just she has no class. I'm insulted that she
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: couldn't even come out and address her supporters when it
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: was announced that she had lost the election. It's pathetic.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, look, that's a brilliant way. You put it, so pithy.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: They don't ask why people vote for Trump, they ask
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: how they could vote for Trump? That is it in
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: a nutshell. They have no strategy beyond abusing Trump, and
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: they forget about issues like the economy, and like the
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: cost of living, and like immigration and border security. Let's
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: have a look at a clip of Kamala Harris there today.
• 24:34
  Speaker 8: While I conceive this election, I do not concede the
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: fate that fueled this campaign.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Now, Christian, this is just more dribble from Kamala Harris.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: What fight she fought for nothing? All she did was
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: fight against Trump. Well, she won't have to fight against
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Trump again. It's like she had nothing to say.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Of course, she never has anything to say. This is
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: nothing new. Thing she has said for the past few
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: months as she's been the nominee is that, you know,
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Trump and his supporters are all racist xenophobes. And that's
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: been the message of the campaign. And that's the message
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: I'm seeing being promoted by Democrats in the wake of
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: this election. They are not asking what did we do
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: as a party that failed? Why did so many voters,
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: you know, turn away from us and vote for Republicans
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: but the first time in their lives. I mean, look,
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: Kamala Harris, she underperformed with women. Trump outright won the
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: white women vote. She underperformed with black voters. Latino voters,
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: even young voters, Chris, young voters are supposed to be
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: so liberal. She only won that group, the gen Z group,
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: by thirteen percent. That is nearly half of the margin
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: that Joe Biden won young voters by just a couple
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: of years ago.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Well, this is Soocrats want to remain.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: A party, they need to be asking these questions. But
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: instead they're just saying the country's too filled with stupid
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: people who are too dumb to recognize the greatness of
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: the can that they put up.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: This is the idios of idiocy of it, because what
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: they're doing is surrendering, as you say, mainstream America, working
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: American families. They should be the constituency of the Democrats
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: have abandoned them for the elites. Now Trump captures them
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: brilliantly and states that they shouldn't be holding And he's
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: got JD. Vance as Vice president, who could then go on,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: who's very much from that ilk himself raised in Ohio
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: and pulled himself up by his bootstraps. If the Democrats
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: don't get their act together, they're looking at twelve years
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: out of the White House.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right, and not too long ago. Chris, the
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Democrat Party was the party of working class and blue
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: collar people, the blue dog Democrats. He called them the
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: union workers, the laborers, those people. I have a lot
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: of those people in my family. By the way, those
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: people now look at the Democratic Party, they see a
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: bunch of elitists, sneering looms. They do not see any
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: place in that party for themselves. You know, this is
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: a party that he to the absolute fringes of its base.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: I hope they have lost They've lost the working class,
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: but completely.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: I hope those people in your family still enjoy watching
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: your commentary and reading your columns. Christine, I appreciate your time.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. Kristen take there in the US.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: It reminds me of my Auntie Patty, who says she
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: always watches my show but never agrees with me. I
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: hope you're watching Artie, Patty, and I hope you agree
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: with me on something, maybe footy. We've got to go
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: to a break. After the break, I'm to catch up
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: with Tim Blair and Mark Nicholson will talk about the
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Democrats coming to terms with their defeat. Let's fix the
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: problems of the world. Washington's going to take care of that.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: In from January. But right here and now, I've got
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Tim Blair from the Daily Telegraph, Martin Nicholson from step
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Mate Studios that hap they need the Trumps to back
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: do day when they got us to sort it all out.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: What did you make of it? Mark? I loved it. Chres.
• 27:54
  Speaker 15: The vibes are still popping off, mate, as I walk
• 27:56
  Speaker 15: through here, all the lads here in the studio, We're
• 27:58
  Speaker 15: getting around each other. There's here is We are back, baby.
• 28:02
  Speaker 15: I literally could not be more excited for this. I'm
• 28:06
  Speaker 15: so up and about. I don't think I've been this
• 28:08
  Speaker 15: excited for a result since Obama. And that's saying something.
• 28:12
  Speaker 15: I was one of those ones. I was on the left,
• 28:14
  Speaker 15: I was progressive. I'm a lefting g I've moved on.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: We're back. We're right here, boys. This is it. It's
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: our time. Time. You're getting older, your Lizia hair and
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: you switch to the other side. Let me lower the
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: mood though. Let's bring it back to a dirge then,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: because imagine if you're a Democrat supporter and you've stood
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: out there at Howard University in Washington, d C. Till
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: about midnight on election night, only to be told the
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: candidate's not going to turn up, and then you turn
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: up again the following day, wait around for hours, she's
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: late again. Finally Kamala Harris turns up, and this is
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: what you get from her.
• 28:50
  Speaker 16: Good afternoon, good afternoon, Good afternoon everyone, good afternoon, good afternoon,
• 29:04
  Speaker 16: Good afternoon.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Tim Obviously the teleproblem that got stuck, not.
• 29:11
  Speaker 12: For the first time she's battled with that issue with
• 29:13
  Speaker 12: it just a guess and I don't think we need
• 29:18
  Speaker 12: to review the timestap on this one, but I think
• 29:20
  Speaker 12: she was speaking of the afternoon. If you were though,
• 29:25
  Speaker 12: if you were a Democrat supporter, the first thing you
• 29:28
  Speaker 12: checked before booking your tickets at any kind of celebratory
• 29:31
  Speaker 12: evening around election time, is it a female candidate, because
• 29:36
  Speaker 12: they tend not to show up, you know, like Clinton
• 29:39
  Speaker 12: did the same thing, just no show and then did
• 29:41
  Speaker 12: the you know, the good afternoon the next day, and
• 29:44
  Speaker 12: then we've got poor Kamala.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Well, if you were wondering what Kamala was doing when
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: she didn't show up, a Kamala impersonator has filled in
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: the gaps for.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: Us, my old people like me. I got a lot
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: of free time.
• 29:59
  Speaker 16: I no, I don't want to be president.
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: Again, Taylor Swift beyond where are.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: You guys now?
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: Because I'm in a visa chicken quin alone.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: It's a fair point, isn't it. Tim? You know he's
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Beyon safe, still going to be fouls.
• 30:17
  Speaker 12: That that actually really is a good point, because you know,
• 30:19
  Speaker 12: one of the one of the things with Trump is
• 30:21
  Speaker 12: he's a like like Tony, but he's a pick and
• 30:22
  Speaker 12: stick kind of guy, and he has a core of
• 30:26
  Speaker 12: supporters who always tend to hang around him. J. D.
• 30:28
  Speaker 12: Evans knows people from years ago, from back in his
• 30:31
  Speaker 12: hillbilly elergy days when when he's growing up in the
• 30:34
  Speaker 12: in the mountains. So when you've got when you've got
• 30:38
  Speaker 12: fly by Night celebrities as your closest mates, you don't
• 30:41
  Speaker 12: have close mates, do you? You just don't have them.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe they'll tweet some support to her Mark.
• 30:49
  Speaker 15: Maybe they that that's that that clips brilliant as well,
• 30:53
  Speaker 15: because it's probably not too far from the actual truth.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: A couple of white wines.
• 30:58
  Speaker 15: I reckon that the disappeared last night, but I really
• 31:00
  Speaker 15: hope they picked themselves up and they actually look at
• 31:02
  Speaker 15: it and realized that they ran a campaign of fear
• 31:05
  Speaker 15: and it didn't work. It's the home of the brave Boys.
• 31:07
  Speaker 15: You can't stop them now, you can't run a campaign.
• 31:10
  Speaker 15: He won those votes, he drew them out. It's a
• 31:15
  Speaker 15: victory for common sense, DEI, identity of politics, the ridiculous
• 31:20
  Speaker 15: games they're play, and hopefully that's all gone.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I'm really excited for this new era. This is the
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: insanity of John Lyons. I've just shown from the ABC.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: We pay our tax dollars to go and tell us
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: the truth from Washington, and he's telling us it was
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: all about fear from Trump, fear from Trump against hope
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: from Kamala Harris. But all the Democrats were saying was
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: this bloke's a Nazi, he's Hitler. Don't vote for him.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Our country will be destroyed. You'll never get to vote again.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: It is ridiculous. But there's another AI generated little spoof
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: video that I want to show. This is fake. This
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: is not fake news. This is fake satire or political analysis.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: And I love this because the Democrats and their supporters
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: like to say they're fighting for the country and fighting
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: for the future of America. This tells us what they're
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: really fighting for.
• 32:09
  Speaker 14: If the Democrats fail, it might be the end of
• 32:11
  Speaker 14: American bureaucracy.
• 32:12
  Speaker 13: Our bureaucracy really is in fundamental peril.
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: The foundations of American bureaucracy under attack.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: They want to destroy our bureaucracy. We are a bureaucracy
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: and danger.
• 32:23
  Speaker 17: For watching an election where people are on the ballot
• 32:25
  Speaker 17: openly advocating the end of bureaucracy.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: It's not democracy under attack, Tim, it's bureaucracy.
• 32:34
  Speaker 12: Well, these people, they do think that both things are
• 32:37
  Speaker 12: the same. So when there's any kind of government reduction,
• 32:40
  Speaker 12: any kind of cuts to government excess that might benefit
• 32:44
  Speaker 12: the people who pay their taxes, Oh, that's an attack
• 32:46
  Speaker 12: on democracy. No, no, no, not the same thing. It's
• 32:49
  Speaker 12: actually very much supportive of democracy if you get rid
• 32:52
  Speaker 12: of the bureaucracy. So that's why that clip is so resonant,
• 32:55
  Speaker 12: it's so terrific well done.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think Elon Musk is going to lead
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: the charge for Trump on a bit of a waist
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: cutting mission to try and trim bureaucracy. Mark.
• 33:08
  Speaker 15: It's Musk vance who I think is a brilliant mind.
• 33:10
  Speaker 15: We saw nearly four hours of his thinking the other
• 33:12
  Speaker 15: day on Joe Rogan, who else my boy Rfk coming
• 33:18
  Speaker 15: in and tearing apart the FDA as well. I'm so
• 33:20
  Speaker 15: excited for that, Gabbett. This is what I mean. This
• 33:23
  Speaker 15: is a completely new way of thinking. It's about understanding
• 33:26
  Speaker 15: people's problems and coming up with novel ways to solve them.
• 33:28
  Speaker 15: It's not about trying to shape and force people's opinions,
• 33:31
  Speaker 15: which is what the Democrats did this entire campaign.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: I'm so excited. Mark is so excited. I've never seen
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: you so happy, which makes it doubly confounding that I
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: see clips of people weeping like this. They're back the
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: liver Maldowns have only just begun.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: The denial, the rationalization very great, like we're just going.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: To wake up tomorrow morning. Everything's going to go.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: Back to the way.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: It'll be a ssake. It'll be like a really bad
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: dream and none of this will never happen. They're crying
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: into their phone and then posting it on the internet
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: for the entire world to see. Now, my kids would
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: like that after the Grand Final tim but after an election. Yeah.
• 34:24
  Speaker 12: The idea of broadcasting is what gets me, especially when
• 34:27
  Speaker 12: you when you know that poor distress murder who was saying,
• 34:31
  Speaker 12: if only we could go back, you know, to the
• 34:33
  Speaker 12: good old days of Camela, that was the paradise. Let's
• 34:39
  Speaker 12: go back to terrible inflation and can't afford groceries and
• 34:42
  Speaker 12: everything's stupid, you know, like, no, no, they've got their
• 34:45
  Speaker 12: timeline all confused. Now it's the good times. Now you smile,
• 34:49
  Speaker 12: you don't cry anymore.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: What do you make of it?
• 34:52
  Speaker 15: Mark I, personally, I'm a bit of a conspiracy theorist.
• 34:56
  Speaker 15: I think it's all fake. I think they're all trying
• 34:58
  Speaker 15: to make it about themselves. And who really if you're
• 35:01
  Speaker 15: that upset, grabs the phone and puts it in their
• 35:03
  Speaker 15: face and then broadcasts it. There was something about remember
• 35:05
  Speaker 15: that the lady when Trump won the first time, the
• 35:08
  Speaker 15: crying lady that was out in the garbage like that
• 35:11
  Speaker 15: was that was caught candidly. These are people who are
• 35:13
  Speaker 15: broadcasting it deliberately. I'm but that being said, it's still delicious.
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: I know, it's not nutritious. It's delicious, and that's going
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: to be great when those young people then apply for
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: a job and someone googles them and that's the impression
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: they get to them as they try to get a
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: job in the bureaucracy, the ever shrinking bureaucracy. Thanks you
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: joining us smart and Tim, can I let you continue
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: to see your celebrations. May look out for Mark. You'll
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: be jumping up and down and doing doing cartwheels down
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Brunswick Street and Fitzroy where not a lot of people
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: are as happy as he is. We've got to get
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: to a break. On the other side, we're going to
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: catch up with Ross Greenwood in the Big Apple Wall
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Street Sores after Trump's victory, plus Keith Pitt. We're going
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: to talk about how the Prime Minister is perpetuating more
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: climate life. Okay, so Donald Trump calls Palm Beach, Florida
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: home these days. Doesn't he be back in the White
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: House before long? But his real hometown is New York City,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: and that's where we find Sky News host and business.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: There it's a Ross Greenwood joining us. Thanks so much
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: for getting up for us again. Mate, We've been working
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: crazy hours and your cameraman Nick Phillips, got a brilliant
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: shot there for us again. It looks magnificent to Big Apple.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: How did the markets react down below you in Wall Street? Yeah,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: it's pretty cool, all right. How did Wall Street down
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: below react today?
• 36:34
  Speaker 18: Well, I got to tell you it was a big day.
• 36:36
  Speaker 18: It was the best day on the US stock market
• 36:39
  Speaker 18: in two years. And the fact of the matter is
• 36:41
  Speaker 18: they greeted Donald Trump's presidency just really with almost buoyancy,
• 36:46
  Speaker 18: feeling as though he is the thing that concern the
• 36:49
  Speaker 18: US economy around Now. It comes with a lot of risks,
• 36:52
  Speaker 18: and it comes particularly for a lot of risks for
• 36:54
  Speaker 18: foreign countries, including Australia. And that's the reason why in
• 36:57
  Speaker 18: Australia today the stock market, well it was up the end,
• 37:00
  Speaker 18: but really all day did not share in those same
• 37:03
  Speaker 18: celebrations that you saw in the United States. So that
• 37:06
  Speaker 18: Dow Jones was up three and a half percent, the
• 37:08
  Speaker 18: broader market, the S and P five hundred and two
• 37:10
  Speaker 18: and a half percent, and even today, as I just
• 37:12
  Speaker 18: had a quick look, the futures markets leading into today's
• 37:15
  Speaker 18: markets suggest it will be higher again. So the stocks
• 37:19
  Speaker 18: that jump, the ones that really stood out to me
• 37:20
  Speaker 18: were the banks in America. So they were up because
• 37:24
  Speaker 18: the suggestion is that interest rates may go higher for longer.
• 37:27
  Speaker 18: And that's because that we are a lot of consumers
• 37:29
  Speaker 18: spending in America because of tax cuts, because of other handouts,
• 37:33
  Speaker 18: because Donald Trump has policies that will eliminate taxes on
• 37:37
  Speaker 18: overtime that people work on the tips that they earn,
• 37:40
  Speaker 18: and also on social services. Anybody on social services no tax. Now,
• 37:46
  Speaker 18: this is stuff that puts real money in people's hands immediately.
• 37:49
  Speaker 18: And that's the reason why retail stocks and why those
• 37:52
  Speaker 18: banks went off to the races today. But then it
• 37:55
  Speaker 18: was also chip makers, local computer chip makers that went off.
• 37:59
  Speaker 18: And the reason is with all this idea that he's
• 38:01
  Speaker 18: going to have tariffs to try and if you like,
• 38:03
  Speaker 18: hold back against the competitors from overseas, from China, from
• 38:07
  Speaker 18: other parts of the world. It means that a lot
• 38:09
  Speaker 18: of manufacturers will consider bringing their plants back to America,
• 38:13
  Speaker 18: employing Americans. And really that's the heart of the whole
• 38:16
  Speaker 18: make America Great policy of Donald Trump. The danger for
• 38:20
  Speaker 18: places like Australia, Chris is really that the tariffs a
• 38:23
  Speaker 18: ten percent tariff is talking on everybody around the world,
• 38:26
  Speaker 18: A sixty percent tariff on goods from China, and unless
• 38:30
  Speaker 18: really Mexico does something to stop people coming across its border,
• 38:33
  Speaker 18: a twenty five percent tariff on goods from that country.
• 38:36
  Speaker 18: So you can see that really this comes with a
• 38:39
  Speaker 18: bit of uncharted water in terms of the policy. He's
• 38:41
  Speaker 18: got control of the Congress, he's got control of the Senate,
• 38:44
  Speaker 18: he's got the presidency. He's now got the green light
• 38:47
  Speaker 18: to create this economic mandate that he's spoken about for
• 38:50
  Speaker 18: months now.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: It's going to be fascinating to watch when you talk
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: about it, when you think about the big government, big
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: spending approach we've seen from the Democrats. If you put
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: tariffs to I know that's a big exception. I agree
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: with what you're saying there that there could be a
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: real problem for everybody. The rest of his plan is
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: really about the old fashioned unleashing of the American economy,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: lowering taxes and getting out of the way and letting
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: America do what it does best.
• 39:16
  Speaker 18: And wouldn't you imagine that there's a message there for
• 39:18
  Speaker 18: the Albanzy government. It misjudged the voice in hindsight when
• 39:22
  Speaker 18: you look at that at the moment, it's trying to
• 39:24
  Speaker 18: be prescriptive to people. It's trying to actually hand out
• 39:27
  Speaker 18: money to people and telling them, look, how good you're
• 39:29
  Speaker 18: off because we're giving you money. Well, people understand that
• 39:32
  Speaker 18: that's borrowed money. And so the whole rhetoric for the
• 39:35
  Speaker 18: government right now should be we're going to actually take
• 39:38
  Speaker 18: taxes away from you. We're going to give you incentive
• 39:40
  Speaker 18: to work. Because there is another fundamental issue for Australia
• 39:43
  Speaker 18: and for other nations around the world. As Donald Trump
• 39:46
  Speaker 18: brings back the corporate tax rate from twenty one percent
• 39:50
  Speaker 18: to twenty percent, but potentially even lower if he introduces
• 39:53
  Speaker 18: more of these tariffs and collects more money from those, well,
• 39:56
  Speaker 18: what will happen is Australia sitting out there with tax
• 39:59
  Speaker 18: rates between t twenty six percent and thirty percent is
• 40:02
  Speaker 18: not competitive on the caps of markets. Yet guess what,
• 40:06
  Speaker 18: whenever this government wants more money, where do they go.
• 40:09
  Speaker 18: They go to the big end of town and tax
• 40:11
  Speaker 18: them all. And that you realize is not the way
• 40:13
  Speaker 18: to unlock your economy. It is actually doing quite the opposite,
• 40:16
  Speaker 18: as Donald Trump will try.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Here sing it. Ross, Can we bring you back and
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: switch you in for Jim Charmers just for a while.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: That would be kind of handy. Thanks for joining us,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Ross with their business editor here at Sky News reporting
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: for US. They're live from New York City. I want
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: to go to Keith Pitt in a moment in camera,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: but first up, I want to show you something the
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Prime Minister said today about climate and energy policy.
• 40:39
  Speaker 19: Listen carefully, even if you were a climate skeptic and
• 40:44
  Speaker 19: didn't believe any of the science and didn't notice that
• 40:48
  Speaker 19: there were more floods and more bushfires and more cyclones,
• 40:51
  Speaker 19: it would still be good policy because it will produce
• 40:57
  Speaker 19: the cheapest form of energy, not the most expensive, which
• 41:00
  Speaker 19: we know is nuclear.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Just extraordinary stuff, just nonsense after nonsense after nonsense. I
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: wonder if we'll get the ABC to fact check any
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: of that. Let's go to Canberra catch up with National
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: ZMP former Resources Minister Keith Pitt. Keith, where is this
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: evidence of all the extra floods and extra bushfires and
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: extra cyclones. Just because you say it every day doesn't
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: make it true. There is no factual record to back
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: that up. And where is the evidence the renewable energy
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: is making electricity reliable and cheaper. Oh Christ, from what
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: I remember of recent reports, that's actually trending down in
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: terms of the number of cyclones. Yeah.
• 41:40
  Speaker 20: Last time I checked the Federation Federation drought that ran
• 41:44
  Speaker 20: for more than ten years through the ad nineties. In
• 41:46
  Speaker 20: around Federation, you've had floods and cyclones in seventy four
• 41:50
  Speaker 20: in Bunderberg, where I come in the forties. It's just
• 41:53
  Speaker 20: a nonsense statement. In terms of bushfires in particular, it's
• 41:57
  Speaker 20: all about the fuel load, not just the temperature. And
• 41:59
  Speaker 20: if you don't control of fuel load, well the fires
• 42:01
  Speaker 20: are very intense, very and hot, and they're incredibly destructive.
• 42:06
  Speaker 20: But the evidence is absolutely on wind and sola. It's
• 42:09
  Speaker 20: made power prices more expensive.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, there's just no doubt about it. Now, I want
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: to get you on another issue that must have got
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: a big mention in Parliament today and that was the
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: latest disaster for Labor with its immigration to tension laws.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: The High Court has knocked them out again. So not
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: only do we have criminal non citizens out in the community,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: dozens of them have allegedly reoffended and now the government
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: is not allowed to put monitoring bracelets on them or
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: give them curfews.
• 42:38
  Speaker 20: Well, this is a wave of repercussions from former Minister
• 42:41
  Speaker 20: of Immigration Giles that just continues. They've released over two
• 42:45
  Speaker 20: hundred of these individuals. Now I don't think you can
• 42:48
  Speaker 20: guarantee that anyone knows where they are. More than sixty
• 42:51
  Speaker 20: have actually committed additional offenses while they were released, and
• 42:54
  Speaker 20: you've had to have urgent legislation put through the Executive
• 42:57
  Speaker 20: Council this morning to try and get tracking Bracelet's back
• 43:00
  Speaker 20: on them.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: This is all out.
• 43:02
  Speaker 20: Of the incompetence of the Alban Eazy government and it
• 43:05
  Speaker 20: puts the Australian people and our community at risk. Where
• 43:08
  Speaker 20: are these people, Chris, I don't know. I'm not sure
• 43:10
  Speaker 20: anyone else does.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: No, and I'm worried about how we're going to find
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: out too. Thanks for joining us, Keith, I appreciate it.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: Keith Pitt there joining us live from canber We've got
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: to duck to a break. I'm going to be right
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: back in a moment with Alexander down I want to
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: get his take on Trump's triumph. I just want to
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: bring you a sneak preview of a story I'm going
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: to bring to you next week. It's about a new
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: film that's been released in cinemas now and it's about
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: the most photographed pool in the world that happens to
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: be at Sydney's Bondo Beach. More selfies than swimming, but
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: the real icebergs seven days a week, fifty two weeks
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: a year. That Icebergs is a whole other story done right.
• 43:58
  Speaker 17: Often, the great stories under your nose and it's I
• 44:02
  Speaker 17: think often familiarity breeds contempt, and it's not till you
• 44:06
  Speaker 17: actually stand back from something you go wow. This is
• 44:09
  Speaker 17: not only an incredible community, but it is one of
• 44:12
  Speaker 17: the most beautiful ocean pools in the world.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: That's the pool. The film is terrific and stick around
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: next week. I'll show you my story on it. It
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: should be wonderful. Let's go to Alexander Downer now and
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: catch up with him live from Perth to talk about
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: what's happened in the US. Great to speak with you, Alexander.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: We saw this coming, it's still just momentous to actually
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: see it unfold in real time. What's your take on
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump's triumph?
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: Well, I remember a week ago on this program we
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: gave you a preview that Trump would win, and there
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: he did. I think this is the beginning of a
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: huge global fight back by ordinary people against the progressive
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: agenda of seeing it in other countries as well, but
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: most relevantly in America, against extreme climate change policies which
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: are pushing up energy prices and contributing to inflation and
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: leading to manufacturing, leaving the country critical race theory that
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: country being salami sliced up into different racial groups and
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: setic set against each other, trashing the history of the
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: country and its traditions of patriotism. There's a huge reaction
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: to all of that now, that progressive agenda, and you've
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: seen it in Trump's election, and it's beginning in the
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: UK with the election of Kemy Badanock as the leader
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: of the Conservative Party. People have just had enough and
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: that's why Trump won.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: I want to come back to the UK in a moment,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: but let's focus on Trump again for a moment. Of course,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: it's hard to assess his first term as president because
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: so much of it involved COVID, But there was a
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: lot of economic change, there was a lot of strength
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: in foreign policy, there was successful attempts to secure the border,
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: and now he says more success will bring the country together.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Have a lot.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: It's time to put the divisions of the past four
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: years behind us. It's time to unite and we're going
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: to try.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: We're going to try.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: We have to try, and it's going to happen. Success
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: will bring us together.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: He is true. If a country's prosperous and if it's
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: borders are secure, that goes a long way to making
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: it united. Well, insecure borders.
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: As we know from Europe as well, we learned in
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: our own country many years ago, in secure borders rarely
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: anger people. It's not that they're against immigration. There against
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: illegal immigration and people breaking the rules coming into the
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: country and then commanding support from taxpayers in the country.
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: So he gets a lot of support.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: For that as well.
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: But I mean that's all been part of the progressive
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: agenda that you should allow people willy nilly to come
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: into the country regardless of who they are, and to
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: stop them is inhumane and unfair and whatever. Well, I mean,
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: this is all part of the huge pushback against that
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: as well. And as for foreign policy, Biden and Obama,
• 47:30
  Speaker 5: you know, before Trump's first term, they were very weak
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: in the way they handled both Russia and Iran, and
• 47:38
  Speaker 5: Biden made the catastrophic decision to withdraw as he did
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: from Afghanistan. That sent out a terrible message about American
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: and Western weakness, which has been exploited by the Iranians,
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: by Putin and by Shi Jinping.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, I'm looking forward to some strengthen foreign policy.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: I think the world will be a much safer place.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: Just briefly, back to the UK and Kenny Badenock, the
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: new leader of the British Conservative Party. She calls out
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: this argument on immigrations. She says, you can oppose illegal
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: immigration and not be a racist, and it carries a
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: lot of weight because she's a black woman.
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: Yes right, she can say things that white people, well
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: white people can say, but they will be hammered and
• 48:26
  Speaker 5: accused of being racist. She has a wonderful line. I
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: really admire her line that I look to the day
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: when people will judge my color, the color of my
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: skin in the same way as they judge the color
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: of someone's eyes or the color of someone's hair. She
• 48:46
  Speaker 5: is she is the fantastic antidote to critical race theory,
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: and she's got off to a brilliant start in that role.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: Great stuff. Looking forward to seeing hearing more from her.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Thanks very much, Alexander, I appreciate it. Look forward to
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: seeing more and hearing more from Alexander in the future too.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: I want to share some of your feedback from the
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: program last night. I want to focus on what you
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: said in response to Barbara Heineback's comments on Kamala Harris
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: being graceless after she wouldn't turn up and speak to
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: the Nation. Bradley says, Kamala didn't call to concede, and
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: she left all her supporters without a word. Congratulations to
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: all the true Americans who voted right. Another viewer says
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: Tamala accomplished one thing. She single handedly destroyed the Democratic Party.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: And another viewer says, here's proof endorsements from celebrities don't matter.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Nobody cares what they think. That is spot on. You
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: can line up all the Beyonce says and the rest
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: of them you like. It doesn't tell people how to vote.
