Speaker 1: Line sharing.
0:07
Speaker 2: First tonight.
0:07
Speaker 3: Today mark's the end of the fake presidency. The cover
0:11
Speaker 3: up of Joe Biden's health will go down as the
0:14
Speaker 3: Democrats and left wing media's greatest ever hoax. For years,
0:19
Speaker 3: the president was described as fine, sharp, strong, mentally fit
0:24
Speaker 3: even and now the eleventh.
0:26
Speaker 2: Hour suddenly not so much.
0:29
Speaker 3: Let's be clear, the Democrats didn't portion eighty one year
0:33
Speaker 3: old mentally incompetent man out because.
0:36
Speaker 2: He is sick.
0:37
Speaker 3: They pushed him out because on June twenty seven this year,
0:41
Speaker 3: their big fat four year cover up was exposed to
0:45
Speaker 3: the world.
0:47
Speaker 4: We have one thousand trillionaires in America, I mean billionaires
0:50
Speaker 4: in America. They'd raised five hundred million dollars billion dollars
0:54
Speaker 4: I should say, every single solitary person eligible for what
1:00
Speaker 4: will do with the with the COVID, with the total
1:06
Speaker 4: initiative relative to what we're going to do with more
1:09
Speaker 4: border patrol.
1:10
Speaker 5: President Trump, I really don't know what he said at
1:12
Speaker 5: the end of those sent I don't think he knows
1:14
Speaker 5: what he said either.
1:16
Speaker 3: What a blight on his presidency that Americans have for
1:19
Speaker 3: so long been gas lit and treated with contempt by
1:23
Speaker 3: Biden and those in his inner circle who allowed this
1:27
Speaker 3: man to be the gaff machine of the free world.
1:31
Speaker 3: And how did Joe Biden make his grand exit announcement
1:34
Speaker 3: with a letter saying, while it has been my intention.
1:37
Speaker 2: To seek reelection, I believe it is in the best.
1:40
Speaker 3: Interest of my party and the country for me to
1:43
Speaker 3: stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties
1:47
Speaker 3: as president for the remainder of my term, not even
1:50
Speaker 3: a formal televised address. Why exactly, then, is it in
1:55
Speaker 3: the country's best interest? Is it because you lied about
1:58
Speaker 3: the state of your health. Is it because you're in
2:00
Speaker 3: a circle light about the state of your health, or
2:03
Speaker 3: is it because you were exposed and your colleagues led
2:06
Speaker 3: a crue to force you out when Donus stopped coughing up.
2:11
Speaker 3: Joe Biden was selfish to stay this long. And while
2:15
Speaker 3: he thinks he can now just walk away and the
2:17
Speaker 3: party can just turn the page, the left and the
2:21
Speaker 3: Democrats must be held accountable for lying so long about
2:25
Speaker 3: a wilted president. Starting with the liberal media. Remember when
2:30
Speaker 3: they told us how fit and healthy Biden was.
2:34
Speaker 5: President Biden, who I've been around numerous times just in
2:37
Speaker 5: this last year, is sharp, he's focused, he's bright.
2:40
Speaker 1: He is sharp, intensely probing and detail oriented and focused.
2:46
Speaker 6: This is a man who is sharp, who is on
2:48
Speaker 6: top of his game, who knows what's going on. He's smart, He's.
2:51
Speaker 7: On his game.
2:52
Speaker 8: I was in almost every meeting with the president, and
2:56
Speaker 8: the President was in front of and on top of
2:59
Speaker 8: it all.
3:02
Speaker 3: They actually insisted this guy was in great shape.
3:06
Speaker 4: I uh, anyway, and I don't want to.
3:16
Speaker 5: I don't want to, I mean, choose my words. I
3:21
Speaker 5: was just thinking, uh, anyway, I just look, I mean
3:34
Speaker 5: Putin's kleptocer. Yeah, it was in February, February, January, after
3:43
Speaker 5: I reading elected from late januarly early February.
3:51
Speaker 3: I mean he was mumbling, fumbling, falling over, speaking to
3:55
Speaker 3: dead people, had no idea who he was or where
3:58
Speaker 3: he was, wondering off into the abyss and freezing and
4:01
Speaker 3: what did the lefty media say that Biden was a
4:05
Speaker 3: victim of agism. Time magazine described it as the weaponization
4:10
Speaker 3: of Biden's age. The New York Times had the panic
4:14
Speaker 3: over Joe Biden's ages manufactured. Had to use Joe Biden's
4:19
Speaker 3: age as an insult is simply agism in disguise.
4:23
Speaker 2: To them, it was all fake news.
4:26
Speaker 3: Secondly, the Democrats, including Kamala Harris.
4:29
Speaker 2: Also need to be held to account for the cover up.
4:34
Speaker 8: We have a very bold and vibrant president in Joe Biden,
4:39
Speaker 8: and in Joe Biden, we have a president who is
4:43
Speaker 8: probably one of the boldest and strongest American presidents we
4:50
Speaker 8: have had in his response to the needs of the
4:55
Speaker 8: American people. But he is an extraordinary leader. And I
4:59
Speaker 8: wish that people I could see what I see because
5:02
Speaker 8: there's only one person who says behind that resolute death.
5:06
Speaker 3: And even after this moment at a fundraiser only a
5:10
Speaker 3: few weeks ago, when Joe Biden froze and had to
5:13
Speaker 3: be helped off stage by Barack Obama, the White House said, no, no,
5:18
Speaker 3: nothing to see here.
5:21
Speaker 9: Instead of talking about the president's performance in office, and
5:24
Speaker 9: what I mean by that is as legislative went, what
5:27
Speaker 9: he's been able to do for the American people across
5:29
Speaker 9: the country, we're seeing these deep figs, these manipulated videos,
5:35
Speaker 9: and on.
5:36
Speaker 2: His performance at the presidential debate.
5:40
Speaker 9: It's the jet lag and also the.
5:42
Speaker 3: Called They seriously thought they could keep up the facade.
5:48
Speaker 2: They lied.
5:49
Speaker 3: Thirdly, Jill Biden aka Doctor Jill, must be held to account.
5:54
Speaker 3: She's acted like the ultimate stage mom, orchestrating and overseeing
5:57
Speaker 3: her husband's every move, pushing him to keep going and
6:00
Speaker 3: staying the race even though the man could barely stand up.
6:05
Speaker 10: Yoh, you did such a great job. He answered every question.
6:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, well done, Joe.
6:12
Speaker 3: Doctor Jill exposed herself as a fraud when, in the
6:15
Speaker 3: middle of all this chaos she posed on the front
6:18
Speaker 3: cover a Vogue magazine. It became increasingly obvious after the
6:23
Speaker 3: debate that there was only one agenda, and that was
6:26
Speaker 3: doctor Jills. And fourth, the Democrats who led a coup
6:30
Speaker 3: against a sitting president must also be held to account
6:34
Speaker 3: by staging a mutiny forcing Biden to pull out at
6:38
Speaker 3: the eleventh hour. Biden and his allies have denied voters
6:41
Speaker 3: across America an opportunity to elect a nominee in the primaries.
6:46
Speaker 2: That is not a fair electoral process. When the party
6:50
Speaker 2: is told.
6:51
Speaker 3: Who the nominee will be, Rather, Democratic elites will decide
6:56
Speaker 3: in one final nail in the coffin to the American people,
6:59
Speaker 3: Joe endorse someone just as inept as him, Karmala Harris.
7:05
Speaker 3: No Democrat primary voter has ever actually voted for Kamala Harris.
7:10
Speaker 3: Her twenty twenty campaign for nomination lasted five minutes. Yet
7:15
Speaker 3: America could be about to be burdened by what might be.
7:20
Speaker 8: I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by
7:23
Speaker 8: what has been. You know, what can be unburdened by
7:28
Speaker 8: what has been? What can be unburdened by what has been?
7:33
Speaker 8: What can be unburdened by.
7:36
Speaker 11: What has been?
7:38
Speaker 3: Well, the burden is now on America and the free world.
7:41
Speaker 3: It is astonishing that the Democrats are still arguing that
7:45
Speaker 3: Donald Trump is the big bad threat to democracy when
7:49
Speaker 3: what the party has done here is the real threat
7:52
Speaker 3: to democracy. Joe Biden's health is the great American cover up.
7:57
Speaker 3: This will go down as the Democrats and the left
8:00
Speaker 3: wing media's greatest ever hoax, and voters are poorer for it.
8:09
Speaker 3: Coming up, we'll have all the latest from the US
8:11
Speaker 3: throughout the night, plus lots of local reaction to this
8:15
Speaker 3: historic news. Also tonight, Peter Dutton is catching up to
8:18
Speaker 3: Anthony Albanezi in the polls, but can he win the
8:22
Speaker 3: next election?
8:23
Speaker 2: A political analyst will join me to discuss, but first
8:27
Speaker 2: let's go straight to the US.
8:29
Speaker 3: Brianna Lyman is the election's correspondent for the Federalist and
8:32
Speaker 3: she joins me. Now, Brianna, thank you for joining us. First,
8:37
Speaker 3: the Democrats and left wing media told us Biden is
8:40
Speaker 3: mentally fit, he's sharp, he's strong. Then they turned against him,
8:45
Speaker 3: wanted him out, and now he's gone. Of course, what
8:48
Speaker 3: does he say about those who covered up his mental
8:51
Speaker 3: incompetence for so long?
8:54
Speaker 2: Yeah?
8:54
Speaker 10: Well, in America, left wing media, this is part of
8:57
Speaker 10: their job. It's to run defense for the White House.
8:59
Speaker 10: And unfortunately, what we winnessed today with Biden's announcement is
9:02
Speaker 10: the culmination of a successful coup effort because Democrats realized
9:07
Speaker 10: that Biden's anility had become a political liability. And like
9:10
Speaker 10: you mentioned, you know this wasn't an overnight development. You
9:13
Speaker 10: go back to last ball. You had Dean Phillips, who
9:15
Speaker 10: challenged Biden for the nomination, warning Democratic leadership that Biden
9:20
Speaker 10: wasn't fit, and they told him go kick rocks. We
9:22
Speaker 10: don't want to hear it. Democrats ran a rigged primary
9:24
Speaker 10: in a state like Florida. They just awarded Biden the votes,
9:27
Speaker 10: didn't even let Dean Phillips have a real chance. Robert
9:29
Speaker 10: Hurr's report came out and Democrats were willing Marrick Garland
9:33
Speaker 10: to go to gel instead of releasing those tapes. Joe
9:37
Speaker 10: Biden gets walked off stage by Barack Obama and they
9:39
Speaker 10: told us it was a cheap fake, right, And so
9:41
Speaker 10: for the first time on the debate stage, Joe Biden
9:43
Speaker 10: gave the public ninety minutes of unfettered access to himself
9:47
Speaker 10: and there was no way to cover that up.
9:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was absolutely exposed to the world at that moment.
9:54
Speaker 2: I find it interesting.
9:55
Speaker 3: Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tweeted, President Joe Biden is
9:59
Speaker 3: a patriotic American who has always put our country first.
10:03
Speaker 3: He's legacy of vision, values, and leadership make him one
10:06
Speaker 3: of the most consequential presidents in American history. Brianna, I
10:10
Speaker 3: find this extraordinary. She was part of that curve you
10:13
Speaker 3: mentioned to bring him down.
10:16
Speaker 10: Yeah, Biden did not put the country above himself or
10:20
Speaker 10: his party because Biden was reluctant to step down, and
10:22
Speaker 10: I don't believe he did this willingly. Look, Biden has
10:25
Speaker 10: been in office for fifty years. This is a man
10:27
Speaker 10: who has very deep connections and deep friendships with a
10:30
Speaker 10: lot of the leadership and individuals who have called on
10:33
Speaker 10: him publicly and privately to step down. You would think
10:36
Speaker 10: that they would want to give him this you know,
10:38
Speaker 10: dignified transfer right allowed Joe Biden to step down, had
10:42
Speaker 10: these talks in private, but when the private talks clearly
10:44
Speaker 10: didn't work, Democrats had to resort to publicly embarrassing him
10:48
Speaker 10: essentially and calling it and creating this mounting pressure campaign
10:52
Speaker 10: to say that there is division in the Democratic Party
10:55
Speaker 10: and Joe Biden's the reason. But if he steps down,
10:57
Speaker 10: things will be honky dory, and Nancy Pelosi said is
11:00
Speaker 10: indicative of that. Right. Once Joe Biden did what his
11:03
Speaker 10: party and what the Democratic oligarchic machine decided, then things
11:07
Speaker 10: are okay.
11:08
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, your spot on how redundant now is the
11:12
Speaker 3: primaries process because the Dems will now pick the candidate,
11:16
Speaker 3: not voters.
11:19
Speaker 12: Yeah.
11:19
Speaker 10: You know what's really interesting about it is that they
11:21
Speaker 10: have been, you know, breathlessly saying for four years that
11:24
Speaker 10: Donald Trump can't win because he's a threat to our democracy.
11:27
Speaker 10: Mind you, we live in a constitutional republic, We're not
11:29
Speaker 10: a democracy. But that's what they've been saying. And now
11:32
Speaker 10: that same party is looking at fourteen million voters and saying, look,
11:36
Speaker 10: you can elect whoever you want during the primary process,
11:39
Speaker 10: but DC oligarchs, a handful of DC elites, we will
11:42
Speaker 10: select who's the actual candidate. And so for a party
11:46
Speaker 10: that prides themselves on being, you know, savers of democracy,
11:49
Speaker 10: they certainly don't actually care about democracy if it threatens
11:52
Speaker 10: their electoral prospects.
11:55
Speaker 3: Brianna, if Kamala Harris is indeed endorsed by the party,
11:59
Speaker 3: what will she I mean to quote her, is America
12:02
Speaker 3: about to be unburdened by what has been.
12:06
Speaker 10: So Kamala Harris, like, this is a woman who was
12:09
Speaker 10: chosen because she was a black woman. That's what Joe
12:12
Speaker 10: Biden said he would do. He said, I'm going to
12:13
Speaker 10: pick a black woman. Kamala Harris was that person. Mind you,
12:17
Speaker 10: she dropped out of the Democratic primary race. I think
12:19
Speaker 10: she was actually the first candidate because she had less
12:21
Speaker 10: than five percent of the support. And we know that
12:24
Speaker 10: she's not the best candidate now because Barack Obama he
12:28
Speaker 10: endorsed an open primary today, So even if he doesn't
12:30
Speaker 10: believe that Kamala Harris would be the best choice. And
12:32
Speaker 10: I think something that'll be difficult for Democrats to kind
12:35
Speaker 10: of overcome. It's going to be how will they answer
12:38
Speaker 10: for the border crisis. She was tasked as the borders
12:40
Speaker 10: are she was supposed to handle the crisis, and that
12:42
Speaker 10: crisis has balloon and it is a top three issue
12:45
Speaker 10: for every American voter, specifically independent, So that'll be a
12:48
Speaker 10: big hurdle for them.
12:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, she totally failed on that front, Brianna. If the
12:54
Speaker 3: president cannot run again, why is he sticking around until November?
12:58
Speaker 2: Do you think he shouldn't?
13:01
Speaker 10: I have no idea why he's sticking around, but he
13:03
Speaker 10: shouldn't stick around. And if Democrats want to play the
13:05
Speaker 10: whole putting you know, country above party, they either have
13:09
Speaker 10: to convince Biden to resign the post of presidency or
13:12
Speaker 10: they must invoke the twenty fifth Amendment. Because if Biden
13:15
Speaker 10: is too senile to cognitively impair, too physically impaired to
13:19
Speaker 10: be the nominee so much so that he actually threatens
13:22
Speaker 10: their electoral prospects that bad, then he's clearly not fit
13:25
Speaker 10: to you know, have his finger on the nuclear button
13:27
Speaker 10: for the next six months. And so if Democrats want
13:30
Speaker 10: to really prove that they care about their country and
13:32
Speaker 10: not their party, they will now call for Biden to
13:34
Speaker 10: step down as president.
13:36
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
13:37
Speaker 3: Now, look, I have to show you this vision of
13:39
Speaker 3: CNN host Van Jains, who actually cried at the announcement
13:43
Speaker 3: by Biden.
13:44
Speaker 13: Here it is, I just know that I love this man.
13:47
Speaker 13: I care about this man. It was painful every day
13:50
Speaker 13: to sit up here and talk about him like he's
13:51
Speaker 13: just a you know, some problem for the party. Way
13:54
Speaker 13: till we get to the convention, You're going to see
13:56
Speaker 13: people crying, standing, screaming, and he may not get a
14:00
Speaker 13: chance to talk for ten minutes. We finally get a
14:02
Speaker 13: chance to put an arm around this guy.
14:04
Speaker 2: Brianna, it's a bit dramatic.
14:05
Speaker 10: Don't you think that's an understatement. Look, people want to
14:09
Speaker 10: talk about Trump derangement syndrome, and I think this is
14:12
Speaker 10: a very good encapsulation of that. Joe Biden, Thankfully he's
14:15
Speaker 10: not dead. He didn't die today. He just said I'm
14:17
Speaker 10: not going to run for reelection. So to be brought
14:19
Speaker 10: to tears is absolutely in I can't understand why someone
14:25
Speaker 10: would be brought to tears to this point. And Van
14:27
Speaker 10: Jones is someone who's also kind of echoed similar sentiments
14:30
Speaker 10: as Democrats that Biden may not be the best person
14:33
Speaker 10: to run, and Biden may have been a good candidate
14:35
Speaker 10: for Democrats twenty years ago. But Biden is not that
14:38
Speaker 10: same person, and Van Jones should not pretend to play
14:40
Speaker 10: it off any other way.
14:42
Speaker 3: Well, it certainly caps off a fascinating month in US politics.
14:47
Speaker 3: Brianna Lyman, good to speak with you.
14:48
Speaker 10: Thank you, thanks for having me.
14:52
Speaker 3: For today's top stories and more. Let's bring it in
14:55
Speaker 3: my panel, Sky News host Liz Stora and Skin News
14:58
Speaker 3: contributor Joe who would have Brad.
14:59
Speaker 14: Hide both happened today? Anything else just got off.
15:07
Speaker 6: Been a pretty quiet one.
15:11
Speaker 3: Let's start with Joe Biden's pick for the top job
15:14
Speaker 3: at Kamala Harris and imagine four years of this. Oh
15:37
Speaker 3: look there's more.
15:39
Speaker 10: I am Kamela Harris. My pounds are she and her?
15:43
Speaker 3: Oh we could have an exciting four years if this
15:46
Speaker 3: all goes to play. And Joe, how do you see
15:48
Speaker 3: this playing out now with the Democrats?
15:50
Speaker 14: It's really interesting the after Kamala is endorsed by Joe Biden.
15:54
Speaker 14: Joe Biden, the stadt.
15:55
Speaker 2: Wasn't Joe Biden. We don't I've seen the guy.
16:00
Speaker 14: Kamala Harris was endorsed by artificial intelligence. No, it's interesting
16:05
Speaker 14: their polls tightened a bit, But Trump's on the aggregate,
16:09
Speaker 14: Trump actually went up. So Trump actually, like Marvelle, thought,
16:13
Speaker 14: oh I'm going to Trump now. So Karmla obviously picked
16:15
Speaker 14: up people who weren't going to come out and vote
16:18
Speaker 14: for Joe Biden a tiny percent.
16:19
Speaker 11: I mean, I mean, Trump is still ahead.
16:22
Speaker 14: But it actually sort of solidified a couple of people,
16:25
Speaker 14: drove a couple of people towards Donald Trump. And I
16:28
Speaker 14: think that's because Kamla Harris represents everything that Donald Trump
16:33
Speaker 14: and the people who vote for Donald Trump are starting
16:36
Speaker 14: to be sort of repulsed by in the modern left,
16:38
Speaker 14: in the Democratic Party, that is sort of West Coast
16:41
Speaker 14: and East Coast elites, identity politics dominating economic need and
16:46
Speaker 14: economic concerns, and Kamala Harris is just the perfect embodiment
16:50
Speaker 14: of that, and a somewhat nauseating sort of little cartoon
16:53
Speaker 14: videos about equity versus equality and this sort of weird,
16:57
Speaker 14: sort of quasi neo Marxist stuff.
16:59
Speaker 11: The id pot is obviously there.
17:00
Speaker 14: I mean, the Democrats don't need black voters, they don't
17:04
Speaker 14: need women voters. So in terms of a sort of
17:06
Speaker 14: symbolic kind of you know, ra rah that demographic. Only
17:11
Speaker 14: forty percent of women voting for Donald Trump anyway, So
17:14
Speaker 14: they've already got sixty percent of women, So what do
17:18
Speaker 14: they achieve by this? If they had have got someone
17:20
Speaker 14: ironically like JD. Vance, they might have eaten into Trump's vote.
17:25
Speaker 14: But I just don't see. If you're voting for Donald Trump,
17:27
Speaker 14: you are going to wade through boiling hot lava to
17:30
Speaker 14: vote for you want to keep going, that's right, And
17:32
Speaker 14: they're going to vote for him and again, and then
17:34
Speaker 14: you've got rfks splitting the vote that.
17:36
Speaker 3: Way, which will be interesting to say, Liz, do you
17:39
Speaker 3: agree that if you're going to vote for Trump, you're
17:41
Speaker 3: certainly not going to vote for Kamala Harris?
17:43
Speaker 2: No, of course not.
17:44
Speaker 6: But the thing is she is very unpopular with their
17:46
Speaker 6: own party. Let's not forget in the twenty twenty primaries,
17:49
Speaker 6: this woman got less than two percent of the vote,
17:52
Speaker 6: forcing her to drop out before a single vote was cast.
17:55
Speaker 6: So she is not someone that the Democratic lay Party
17:59
Speaker 6: look up to repet one as a leader. So as
18:02
Speaker 6: much as she's got quite a few big names now
18:04
Speaker 6: falling in line saying we back her, it's a really
18:07
Speaker 6: big question mark to see what's actually going to happen?
18:11
Speaker 2: Is it?
18:11
Speaker 6: Because the Democratic Party is also given up and just gone, Look,
18:15
Speaker 6: at this point, no one can beat no one can
18:17
Speaker 6: beat Trump. That's my personal opinion. I'm not saying it's
18:21
Speaker 6: not doable.
18:22
Speaker 2: They managed in.
18:23
Speaker 6: Twenty twenty using very nefarious means. So unless they're going
18:26
Speaker 6: to rig another election, then how are they going to
18:30
Speaker 6: pull this off? Their own inside a polling tells them
18:32
Speaker 6: Kamala Harris cannot beat Trump. So if they genuinely want
18:37
Speaker 6: to give the twenty twenty four election a red hot go,
18:41
Speaker 6: they're not going to put her up. If they've resigned
18:44
Speaker 6: themselves to losing, and guys like Newsome aren't gonna want
18:47
Speaker 6: to burn their political capital on being oh the guy
18:50
Speaker 6: who lost the twenty twenty O. Nobody who's a genuinely
18:54
Speaker 6: politically savvy person who would like to see themselves become
18:59
Speaker 6: president one day is going to put themselves up.
19:01
Speaker 2: For the twenty twenty four election.
19:02
Speaker 6: This is the poison chalice, So it might as well
19:05
Speaker 6: be Kamala Harris because she's dumb enough to think it's
19:08
Speaker 6: an honor and take it.
19:11
Speaker 14: I want to get rid of her, perfect way, how
19:15
Speaker 14: she saves a bit of the furniture, But that's exactly right.
19:17
Speaker 14: We're talking about the most powerful position.
19:19
Speaker 11: On the planet. Absolutely, no one's even going to challenge
19:22
Speaker 11: her for it.
19:22
Speaker 2: No acuarly, But I mean the Democrats waited to the
19:25
Speaker 2: eleventh hour.
19:25
Speaker 3: They've known for years about his It's ridiculous. Look, let's
19:30
Speaker 3: move on to other news now. The odds of a
19:32
Speaker 3: minority government coming into power continue to increase as news
19:36
Speaker 3: poll shows voters confidence in major parties decline. The Coalition
19:39
Speaker 3: edges two points ahead of Labor in primary support, while
19:43
Speaker 3: Labor remains ahead in the two party preferred vote at
19:46
Speaker 3: a steady fifty one percent, and Albinizi leads Peter Dutton
19:50
Speaker 3: as the choice for better PM forty six to thirty nine. Joe,
19:53
Speaker 3: why are both parties failing to resonate overall with voters?
19:56
Speaker 14: Oh, it's across a living crisis and in bad economic times.
19:58
Speaker 14: You don't say, gee, we've got a great gun, don't we?
20:00
Speaker 14: A bit worried about paying the mortgage this month? Not
20:02
Speaker 14: sure if I'll be able to find a place to
20:04
Speaker 14: rent and put a roof over me and my family's head.
20:06
Speaker 11: But gee, the government's doing a great job. So I think.
20:10
Speaker 14: I think the fact that the opposition has not been
20:13
Speaker 14: able to get more traction out of this I think
20:16
Speaker 14: does not bode particularly well. It looks like some of
20:18
Speaker 14: the negativity. I think Labor is right and the government's
20:20
Speaker 14: been right say no more silly, stupid memes about nuclear energy.
20:24
Speaker 14: But I think that clearly Dutton has not quite been
20:28
Speaker 14: able to capitalize on people's discontent. But that doesn't mean
20:31
Speaker 14: the discontent isn't there. Clearly, when people are struggling, they're
20:34
Speaker 14: not going to be throwing bouquets at the government, and
20:36
Speaker 14: that's what's happening here. I actually reckon all things considered,
20:39
Speaker 14: it's not a bad result, but what happened.
20:41
Speaker 6: To never waste a crisis, like seriously, this should be
20:44
Speaker 6: the time that it's easiest to shine brightest, to come
20:47
Speaker 6: out to people and say, look, this.
20:49
Speaker 2: Is the mess we're in.
20:51
Speaker 6: We're done throwing mud at each other saying why it's happened.
20:55
Speaker 6: This is the mess that we're in.
20:56
Speaker 2: Here's the vision.
20:57
Speaker 6: Here's what I'm doing to get you guys out of it.
21:00
Speaker 6: Here's what I'm doing to steady the ship while we're
21:02
Speaker 6: getting through it. Here's how we're getting to the other side.
21:05
Speaker 6: Right now, there is such a dearth of leadership in
21:08
Speaker 6: this country like neither Dutton nor Albanese really inspires people
21:13
Speaker 6: with like we have a leader at the helm and
21:16
Speaker 6: thank god nobody nobody is getting that vibe from either
21:20
Speaker 6: of these guys. Now there are potential leaders within the
21:23
Speaker 6: two major parties, but right now is not their time.
21:26
Speaker 6: And I think people look at these two leaders and
21:29
Speaker 6: just go, honestly, much for much, I don't really care.
21:33
Speaker 6: And I think the fact that the parties are so well,
21:36
Speaker 6: pretty much even steven at the moment is indicative of
21:39
Speaker 6: the fact voters are alive to the fact that no
21:42
Speaker 6: matter which party they vote for, they keep getting the
21:45
Speaker 6: same outcome.
21:47
Speaker 7: And it's been like that last few polls Wow exactly
21:50
Speaker 7: because they're just like Red team or Blue team, whichever
21:53
Speaker 7: one gets up at the end of the day, we
21:55
Speaker 7: just seem to be getting And that speaks to the
21:58
Speaker 7: very little difference that these two major parties now had.
22:01
Speaker 11: It also speaks to reality though. That's the thing.
22:03
Speaker 14: The truth is that ingistrates are not going to go
22:06
Speaker 14: down until the economy starts to slow down and there spending.
22:10
Speaker 14: Peter Dutton and Anthony Albanez, you both know that there
22:12
Speaker 14: is no magic.
22:12
Speaker 2: One all right. Would ask you both about this one
22:14
Speaker 2: of Sydney's biggest.
22:15
Speaker 3: Councils, Randwick, will ramp up security at its next meeting
22:18
Speaker 3: after its Greens mayor accused Israel and its supporters of
22:21
Speaker 3: murdering babies in an inflammatory speech. The Australian can reveal
22:26
Speaker 3: extra guards and council rangers will attend the council's Tuesday
22:30
Speaker 3: session after Mayor Philippa Vetch's fellow counselors and the wider
22:34
Speaker 3: Jewish community claim they had been intimidated about left worried
22:38
Speaker 3: about pro Palestine activists descending on the chamber, Lisa mean,
22:42
Speaker 3: we know that the eastern suburbs of Sydney in particular
22:44
Speaker 3: have higher Jewish populations. To hear a speech like that
22:47
Speaker 3: from a local councilor is awful.
22:49
Speaker 6: But why are you insinuating that there's going to be
22:54
Speaker 6: violence against someone who's spoken out with a very disgusting
22:58
Speaker 6: pro Palace spoint. That is not the side we're seeing
23:02
Speaker 6: the violence.
23:03
Speaker 14: They're worried about pro violence, pro Palestinian side. They're not
23:06
Speaker 14: worried about the Jews rising up.
23:08
Speaker 6: Who has someone who has been really pro Palestinian gone
23:12
Speaker 6: out there.
23:12
Speaker 2: I believe it was on a university. It was a
23:14
Speaker 2: university campus.
23:15
Speaker 6: They're worried that the pro Palestinians are now going to
23:19
Speaker 6: show up and cause trouble at this hero of their
23:22
Speaker 6: movement type.
23:23
Speaker 11: I mean, it just goes.
23:25
Speaker 2: It's a council meeting.
23:26
Speaker 6: Are perpetually offended. This is the council which the person
23:31
Speaker 6: who said these inflammatory things which these people who might
23:35
Speaker 6: supposedly rock up and be violent about, they support what
23:40
Speaker 6: this person has done.
23:40
Speaker 14: No, no, no, the people who are worried about violence, and
23:43
Speaker 14: other counselors who are not supporters of the mayor. So
23:45
Speaker 14: there's a Jewish counselor who's worried, who said that they
23:48
Speaker 14: felt unsafe because of what the mayor had previously said.
23:51
Speaker 11: So it's not it's not supporters of her. That is complex.
23:53
Speaker 2: It's not supporters of her. It's security there just in
23:56
Speaker 2: case it sparks.
23:57
Speaker 6: Up, so in case supporters in person raps up.
24:02
Speaker 14: Other counselors, including one Jewish counselor, have said that they
24:06
Speaker 14: no longer feel safe because she has whipped up such
24:08
Speaker 14: anti Israeli center previous by calling Israeli.
24:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we're almost out of time. But Joan, what
24:15
Speaker 2: do you think.
24:15
Speaker 14: I think she's an absolute fruitcake. She's absolutely natty. I
24:18
Speaker 14: think she's the same one who didn't like the statue
24:19
Speaker 14: of Captain Qui.
24:20
Speaker 2: Yes it was I remember that one.
24:22
Speaker 14: Yes, yeah, I reckon, you could see that coming from space.
24:26
Speaker 3: You've got your finger on the pulse of interesting liszt story,
24:31
Speaker 3: Joan Brand We've got to leave it there.
24:32
Speaker 2: Good to have you both on, Thanks for joining me.
24:34
Speaker 3: After the break, Democrats scrambled to endorse presidential candidate Kamala
24:38
Speaker 3: Harris after being told of Biden's decision to drop out.
24:42
Speaker 2: Just one minute, would you believe for the rest of
24:44
Speaker 2: the world, welcome back.
24:51
Speaker 11: Well.
24:51
Speaker 3: Four years ago, COVID put Joe Biden into power, so
24:54
Speaker 3: it seems almost strange that it.
24:56
Speaker 2: Was COVID that took power away from him.
24:59
Speaker 3: The President gave nothing away in his letter to the
25:01
Speaker 3: American people announcing he will drop out of the race,
25:04
Speaker 3: only that it was in the party's best interest. But
25:08
Speaker 3: the public does deserve to know the truth. Joining me
25:11
Speaker 3: now to discuss is US Republican strategist Colin Reid. Colin,
25:14
Speaker 3: good to see you, Thanks for joining me. Surely dropping
25:17
Speaker 3: out just because you know you can't win for some
25:20
Speaker 3: Democrat elites to then pick a replacement to lead the
25:23
Speaker 3: party to.
25:23
Speaker 2: The next election.
25:24
Speaker 3: Is not how democratic elections are supposed to be. What's
25:28
Speaker 3: your take on how the party has gone about this.
25:31
Speaker 12: It's a little bit ironic that Democratic Party would choose
25:34
Speaker 12: its next nominee this way without any sort of democratic process,
25:38
Speaker 12: especially when fourteen million Democratic primary voters have cast their
25:41
Speaker 12: ballots for Joe Biden over the last six months. It
25:45
Speaker 12: seems as though their voices are just being totally discounted,
25:47
Speaker 12: totally thrown out. But look, two questions on my mind. One,
25:51
Speaker 12: if Joe Biden is by his own admission, unfit to
25:54
Speaker 12: be president for another four years, why is he qualified
25:58
Speaker 12: right now? And what is that mean for the state
26:00
Speaker 12: of the country these next five months until his term expires.
26:03
Speaker 12: And Two, all of these Democratic candidates, including Vice President
26:07
Speaker 12: Harris who's now seeking the office, have been telling us
26:10
Speaker 12: for years that he's up for the job. He's doing
26:13
Speaker 12: jumping jacks. You can't keep up with his energy. He's
26:15
Speaker 12: just this unstoppable force behind the scenes. And now they're
26:19
Speaker 12: saying he's too old to run, he's got to go.
26:21
Speaker 12: So are they lying to us?
26:22
Speaker 1: Then?
26:22
Speaker 12: Are they lying to us?
26:22
Speaker 2: Now?
26:23
Speaker 12: We're going to find out and these are fair questions
26:25
Speaker 12: to be asking that I think are on the minds
26:27
Speaker 12: of all voters right now.
26:28
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and the public deserved to know the truth. I
26:31
Speaker 3: spoke earlier about this so that the cover up of
26:34
Speaker 3: Joe Biden's health will go down as the Democrats and
26:36
Speaker 3: left wing media's greatest ever hoax. I mean, for years, Colin,
26:39
Speaker 3: they told us he was mentally fit, he was strong.
26:42
Speaker 2: Then suddenly, on June twenty seven, he.
26:44
Speaker 3: Was exposed to the world at the debate is completely
26:47
Speaker 3: mentally incompetent.
26:48
Speaker 2: And now suddenly there was a Democrat coup.
26:50
Speaker 3: I mean, they only acted when he was exposed at
26:53
Speaker 3: the eleventh hour.
26:55
Speaker 12: They only acted when it shooted their own political interests,
26:57
Speaker 12: and when it just became this result yesterday, the inevitable
27:00
Speaker 12: reality since the events of June twenty seventh. But look,
27:04
Speaker 12: there's one hundred and some one days left. The other
27:06
Speaker 12: question to be remains is had this debate happened in
27:10
Speaker 12: September instead of June, the Democrats would really be up
27:13
Speaker 12: the creek without a paddle, because then there'd be no
27:15
Speaker 12: time for them to recover. The nomination would have officially happened,
27:19
Speaker 12: he would be the nominee. So look, you'd rather be
27:22
Speaker 12: the Republicans the Democrats right now because the party one
27:25
Speaker 12: party is united, one party is reeling, one party's got
27:28
Speaker 12: the win in its back, one party has got the
27:30
Speaker 12: wind in its face. But this does reset things, and
27:32
Speaker 12: this does give the Democrats a chance they did not
27:35
Speaker 12: have when we woke up yesterday morning. So everything is different,
27:39
Speaker 12: everything is new, but one thing remains the same. Father
27:41
Speaker 12: time has and always will be undefeated.
27:45
Speaker 2: I want to ask you about that.
27:46
Speaker 3: But before we get to what this means for Trump,
27:48
Speaker 3: there are reports that Joe Biden gave his team a
27:51
Speaker 3: one minute heads up before telling.
27:53
Speaker 2: The world of his decision.
27:54
Speaker 3: What does that suggest about his decision making process.
27:59
Speaker 12: It suggests that the reports about the bunker mentality are true,
28:02
Speaker 12: that this inner circle had really shrunk. This was a defiant,
28:05
Speaker 12: angry guy who was refusing up until the last minute
28:09
Speaker 12: to recognize the political reality before him. But look, Joe
28:12
Speaker 12: Biden is someone who's been seeking the office he now
28:15
Speaker 12: holds his entire life. He's run for president before twice
28:18
Speaker 12: nineteen eighty eight, two thousand and eight. Both times ended
28:21
Speaker 12: in spectacularly embarrassing fashion. He won in twenty twenty and
28:25
Speaker 12: for someone to voluntarily give up the job they've been
28:28
Speaker 12: seeking their entire lives that happens to be the most
28:31
Speaker 12: powerful and important job in the free world. It's not easy,
28:34
Speaker 12: but I think it's also he didn't do this because
28:37
Speaker 12: he wanted to. He did this because he had to.
28:39
Speaker 12: And however, this ending was going to conclude it was
28:42
Speaker 12: not going to look good for President Biden. But the
28:43
Speaker 12: more time went on, the more distance he lapsed from
28:47
Speaker 12: the debate, the more of his fellow party members who
28:49
Speaker 12: came out and said, you gotta go, Joe. It was
28:52
Speaker 12: just the situation was getting worse, not better. And there's
28:55
Speaker 12: an old saying in politics, good gets better and bad
28:58
Speaker 12: gets worse. And the Democratic forty was in a really
29:01
Speaker 12: dangerous tailspin.
29:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a really, really good quote. Let's talk now
29:05
Speaker 2: about Kamala Harris.
29:06
Speaker 3: It looks as though it will probably be her going
29:08
Speaker 3: up against Donald Trump. This is what Trump has said
29:11
Speaker 3: about her in the past.
29:14
Speaker 11: But she seems pretty senile too.
29:15
Speaker 15: She speaks in rhyme.
29:19
Speaker 2: It's weird, it's weird, but she has bad moments and
29:22
Speaker 2: in rhyme. Well, the way she talks.
29:25
Speaker 6: The bus will go here and then the bus will
29:27
Speaker 6: go there, because that's what busses do.
29:30
Speaker 2: It's weird.
29:30
Speaker 11: The whole thing is weird.
29:31
Speaker 2: This is not a president of the United States future.
29:36
Speaker 1: That all broken down.
29:37
Speaker 8: Pilot crab.
29:38
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's a bad he just quit. You know, he's quitting.
29:40
Speaker 2: The rest is that right?
29:41
Speaker 11: Yeah, I gotta matter, And that means we have Karmala.
29:45
Speaker 12: She's so bad, so pathetic.
29:47
Speaker 3: It's colin, what sort of a contest will it be
29:53
Speaker 3: between these two?
29:54
Speaker 2: If she is indeed endorsed.
29:57
Speaker 12: There's no doubt she brings a number of vulnerabilities in
30:00
Speaker 12: lenges to this race. The vice presidency has not acquitted
30:03
Speaker 12: her well. And you know, frankly, I think President Biden
30:05
Speaker 12: deserves some blame for that. He immediately upon taking office
30:09
Speaker 12: gave her some of the hardest challenges he faced for
30:11
Speaker 12: his administration, including stopping the unmitigated disaster of the southern
30:15
Speaker 12: border of situation. That's frankly, anyone would have had a
30:18
Speaker 12: hard time dealing with, let alone someone with the Vice
30:21
Speaker 12: President Harris's experience. So look, she came into the chance
30:24
Speaker 12: of the twenty twenty race as a really a stock
30:27
Speaker 12: to watch, someone who was potentially on the rise that
30:31
Speaker 12: didn't happen. She fell out of the race before votes
30:34
Speaker 12: were even cast, and then President Biden resuscitated her political
30:37
Speaker 12: career by putting her picking her as vice president. So
30:40
Speaker 12: she's got immense challenges. But let's be honest, she's got
30:44
Speaker 12: a pulse, she's ability, she's able to time's former coherent sentence,
30:49
Speaker 12: and that's more than the president, the standard bearer of
30:52
Speaker 12: the President Biden's able to do at this point in time. So, look,
30:55
Speaker 12: they were better off with anyone than him at the
30:57
Speaker 12: top of the ticket. And Republicans or who were hoping
31:01
Speaker 12: they were going to get President Biden, they were right then,
31:03
Speaker 12: and look at anyone better than who they had, it
31:06
Speaker 12: was a market improvement. But she's got enormous challenges.
31:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Look it's going to be interesting to see
31:12
Speaker 3: what happens between now and November.
31:14
Speaker 2: Colin Reid, thank you so much for your time.
31:16
Speaker 10: Thank you have a great day.
31:18
Speaker 2: Well.
31:19
Speaker 3: Joe Biden's choice peak as the Democratic nominee is Kamala Harris,
31:22
Speaker 3: who current Vice president, a woman who seems more preoccupied
31:27
Speaker 3: with waffling nonsense just like someone else in the party.
31:32
Speaker 8: To see the moment in time in which we exist
31:36
Speaker 8: during women's history, month we celebrate and we honor the
31:40
Speaker 8: women who made history. The significance of the passage of time, right,
31:45
Speaker 8: the significance of the passage of time. So when you
31:48
Speaker 8: think about it, there is great significance to the passage
31:51
Speaker 8: of time. It is time for us to do what
31:55
Speaker 8: we have been doing in that time as every day.
31:59
Speaker 2: Does she even know what she's saying?
32:01
Speaker 3: To discuss this and more, I am joined by Media
32:03
Speaker 3: Research Center Vice President Dan Schneider, Dan, thank you so
32:08
Speaker 3: much for joining us this evening. Kamala Harris is now
32:11
Speaker 3: vowing to win the party's nomination. Here she is rolling
32:16
Speaker 3: out one of her many cringeworthy lines.
32:19
Speaker 8: I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by
32:22
Speaker 8: what has been. You know, what can be unburdened by
32:27
Speaker 8: what has been? What can be unburdened by what has been?
32:32
Speaker 8: What can be unburdened by what has been?
32:36
Speaker 3: Dan, is this seriously the woman who could possibly be
32:40
Speaker 3: the next president of the United States?
32:43
Speaker 1: Well, shockingly, it is possible she could be the next
32:47
Speaker 1: president of the United States. Tenika. But what we're also
32:51
Speaker 1: understanding here is that there is a massive burden on
32:54
Speaker 1: her shoulders that she is not unburdened by and that
32:58
Speaker 1: massive burden is named Brock Obama. We are actually still
33:02
Speaker 1: in the beginning of the civil war within the Democrat Party,
33:07
Speaker 1: the Clintons versus the Obama's and this has this little
33:11
Speaker 1: civil war has been playing out with the nomination, the
33:15
Speaker 1: presumed nomination of Joe Biden, until Barack Obama began to
33:19
Speaker 1: push him out of the way.
33:20
Speaker 3: So do you think then others will put their hand
33:23
Speaker 3: up in the Democrats?
33:26
Speaker 1: It's I think most Democrats are sitting back trying to
33:30
Speaker 1: figure out if, in fact Barack Obama has the cloud
33:34
Speaker 1: and the ability to force Kamala Harris out of the way.
33:39
Speaker 1: You know, it's a tricky It's a tricky battle because
33:42
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party here in America, of course, is so
33:44
Speaker 1: wed to the DEI effort that on its face it
33:48
Speaker 1: looks like pushing her out of the way would anger
33:50
Speaker 1: the Black Democrat caucus here in our Congress. But with
33:55
Speaker 1: Barack Obama trying to undermine her, anything is possible.
34:00
Speaker 3: And with Biden's announcement it was clearly not a matter
34:03
Speaker 3: of if. But when did the Democrats push Biden out
34:07
Speaker 3: only because America found out about his cognitive state?
34:11
Speaker 2: Do you think.
34:11
Speaker 3: I mean, they've been covering it up for years, then
34:14
Speaker 3: led a coup in recent weeks to push him out.
34:18
Speaker 1: Right, He's been impaired for a number of years. During
34:24
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election, when we had our COVID election,
34:28
Speaker 1: he was, of course Biden in the basement, campaigning from
34:32
Speaker 1: the basement. The storyline was that they were letting Donald
34:36
Speaker 1: Trump hang himself, But in fact, anytime we did see
34:39
Speaker 1: Biden speak, we could tell that he was not the
34:42
Speaker 1: same order that he had been before. I would not
34:46
Speaker 1: have ever called him a gifted order, but he certainly
34:49
Speaker 1: had to give to the gap. But in twenty twenty
34:52
Speaker 1: he had lost that edge, and throughout his administration we
34:55
Speaker 1: saw that decline rapidly.
34:58
Speaker 3: Yes, you're right, it has certainly been a long time coming. Look,
35:01
Speaker 3: the Democrats have accused Trump of being a threat to democracy,
35:05
Speaker 3: yet voters won't even be given a chance to elect
35:08
Speaker 3: a nominee in the primaries. It's been a complete waste
35:11
Speaker 3: of time. Is that lack of official process a threat
35:14
Speaker 3: to democracy?
35:15
Speaker 2: Now? With itself?
35:17
Speaker 1: Well, of course, selecting the Democrats next nominee without a
35:22
Speaker 1: single US citizen actually going to the ballot box to
35:26
Speaker 1: vote for him is very undemocratic. I know that many
35:30
Speaker 1: Republicans have tried to call hypocrisy. I doubt that that
35:34
Speaker 1: argument is going to resonate with the American public. They
35:38
Speaker 1: will think that the Democrats ought to be able to
35:42
Speaker 1: have somebody running who put two brain cells together. But
35:47
Speaker 1: you are right, Denika, this is a very undemocratic process
35:51
Speaker 1: that the Democrats are pursuing right now. It sort of
35:54
Speaker 1: calls a lie to the name of their own party.
35:56
Speaker 1: It's an undemocratic Democrat party.
36:00
Speaker 3: What do the Democrats in media have to do to
36:02
Speaker 3: ordain themselves after years of line to Americans.
36:06
Speaker 1: Well, Americans have a short memory, Danika. It will not
36:09
Speaker 1: take long before this is this a thing in the past?
36:13
Speaker 1: Our legacy media here in the United States will very
36:16
Speaker 1: aggressively push whoever the ultimate nominee is for the Democrats
36:20
Speaker 1: that they will the media here will rally behind that
36:23
Speaker 1: person to try to prevent Donald Trump from being re
36:27
Speaker 1: elected to the presidency. And then, frankly, regardless of how
36:32
Speaker 1: this next election turns out, the media will continue to
36:35
Speaker 1: push against Republicans supporting the Democrat And we're going to
36:40
Speaker 1: We're going to be back to the same situation within
36:43
Speaker 1: twelve months of this next election.
36:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is extraordinary. What does this mean for the
36:49
Speaker 3: upcoming Democrat convention?
36:53
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that convention has already begun. It was supposed
36:59
Speaker 1: to begin about a week from now, in a virtual sense,
37:03
Speaker 1: to begin getting these pledged delegates to formally nominate Joe Biden.
37:09
Speaker 1: That time period is now in doubt. But whether it's
37:13
Speaker 1: formally begun or will formally begin soon is almost irrelevant.
37:17
Speaker 1: The real battle has in fact commenced Kamala Harris against
37:23
Speaker 1: all other comers who may or may not be backed
37:26
Speaker 1: by Barack Obama.
37:28
Speaker 3: Donald Trump maintains he can beat Kamala Harris. Do you
37:31
Speaker 3: agree or will she be more of a challenge for him?
37:37
Speaker 1: If it's possible to imagine a worse candidate than Joe Biden,
37:42
Speaker 1: I think that person embodies you know, our Vice President
37:46
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. She is not liked. She's not liked by
37:50
Speaker 1: her own staff, and I know that you all have
37:52
Speaker 1: reported in the past that she cannot keep her own
37:56
Speaker 1: staff her. You know, people who are employed by her
38:00
Speaker 1: leave that office screaming they dislike her. The rest of
38:04
Speaker 1: the White House staff who has to work with her
38:06
Speaker 1: do not like her. The party's establishment does not like
38:10
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. She's never once had a job that required
38:14
Speaker 1: her to manage or lead she has following up her
38:18
Speaker 1: entire career. Frankly, I don't see her running any kind
38:22
Speaker 1: of a campaign, so I think Donald Trump still has
38:27
Speaker 1: a big edge over Kamala Harris. The question then is
38:30
Speaker 1: whether the Democrats' efforts essentially to undermine our own campaign
38:34
Speaker 1: laws will come into play and will Democrats be allowed
38:37
Speaker 1: essentially to manufacture millions and millions of votes outside the
38:41
Speaker 1: regular voting process.
38:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, good point, Dan Schnader, great to speak with you.
38:46
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for joining us.
38:48
Speaker 2: Thanks to Anika after the break.
38:51
Speaker 3: What a presidency under Kamala Harris would mean for Australia
38:55
Speaker 3: and does she have what it takes to address the
38:57
Speaker 3: issues Biden would.
38:58
Speaker 2: It welcome back? Will?
39:04
Speaker 3: Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi has congratulated President Biden's decision to
39:08
Speaker 3: drop out of the US presidential race.
39:12
Speaker 15: President Biden deserves today, I think, to be recognized for
39:18
Speaker 15: once again not putting himself forward first, but giving his
39:24
Speaker 15: first consideration to being what he believes is in the
39:27
Speaker 15: interests of the United States of America, as he has
39:32
Speaker 15: done his whole public life.
39:34
Speaker 3: The Opposition stressed the importance of President Biden's role in
39:38
Speaker 3: the Orcus Agreement, urging his replacement to continue to deliver
39:42
Speaker 3: on the security Pact.
39:44
Speaker 16: He has been a great friend of our country and
39:47
Speaker 16: he's been somebody who has strengthened the relationship between our
39:51
Speaker 16: two countries.
39:52
Speaker 17: And it's crucial that whoever replaces him in the Oval Office,
39:56
Speaker 17: we continue to deliver on the Orcist partnership, all aspects
40:01
Speaker 17: of the alliance with the United States.
40:04
Speaker 3: Joining me now is Headline Advisory Director Andrew Carswell, Andrew,
40:07
Speaker 3: good to see you. Does Carmala Harris have what it
40:10
Speaker 3: takes to continue to deliver on the Orchest Agreement?
40:15
Speaker 16: Well, I think, judging on her performance as Vice president,
40:18
Speaker 16: there are some serious questions around this and some concerns,
40:23
Speaker 16: and that goes to the leadership of issues, but also communication,
40:26
Speaker 16: which is vital for such agreements. In terms of the leadership,
40:29
Speaker 16: Kamala Harris was put in charge of fixing the borders
40:33
Speaker 16: in the US.
40:33
Speaker 11: It wasn't Joe Biden.
40:35
Speaker 16: It was Kamala Harris that led to what we saw
40:38
Speaker 16: happen at the US Mexico border, an explosion of immigrants
40:42
Speaker 16: crossing over and causing chaos in the US. And that
40:46
Speaker 16: is the lived experience of Americans at the moment. And
40:49
Speaker 16: if you asked Americans what they're angry about, they're angry
40:51
Speaker 16: about inflation, and they're angry about the breakdown at the borders.
40:56
Speaker 16: And so the Democrats are taking a massive risk here
40:59
Speaker 16: putting up a candidate who was responsible for the chaos
41:02
Speaker 16: that Americans are seeing.
41:03
Speaker 11: At their own border.
41:04
Speaker 16: Why is that important for Aucus? It's important to have
41:08
Speaker 16: strong leadership to deliver on Aucus, to see it to fruition.
41:12
Speaker 16: And in terms of communication, well, words matter, and Kamala
41:16
Speaker 16: Harris has proved to be not very good at using words.
41:20
Speaker 16: You know, there's a vast difference difference between Kamala Harris's
41:23
Speaker 16: ineffective communication and Joe Biden's ineffective communication. At the very least,
41:30
Speaker 16: Kamala Harris understands what she's saying. She might be the
41:33
Speaker 16: only one, but she understands it at least. And secondly,
41:36
Speaker 16: unlike Joe Biden, you can actually get an understanding of
41:41
Speaker 16: the words she's actually saying, and then once you hear them,
41:44
Speaker 16: you probably don't want to understand understand anymore. So why
41:48
Speaker 16: does that matter for Aucus, Well, it matters because when
41:51
Speaker 16: it comes to regional security, when it comes to national security,
41:55
Speaker 16: when it comes to these important bilateral agreements, words matter,
41:59
Speaker 16: the strength of words matter.
42:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, absolutely, the why you put that? Look, I
42:04
Speaker 3: want to ask you about some matters on the home front. Now,
42:06
Speaker 3: it's been a bruising month for Labor. In the polls
42:09
Speaker 3: News poll shows the coalition up two points in primary
42:12
Speaker 3: vote support, and even in the Financial Reviews Freshwater Pole
42:15
Speaker 3: it shows the Coalition leading Albanese's government by fifty one
42:19
Speaker 3: to forty nine two party preferred.
42:21
Speaker 2: Andrew, how do you read these figures?
42:25
Speaker 16: Well, the trend isn't the friend of the Albanzi government
42:27
Speaker 16: at the moment. We're seeing a number of poles now
42:29
Speaker 16: suggest that the decline is continuing. The Albanezi government has
42:34
Speaker 16: failed to arrest the slump in its own numbers in
42:37
Speaker 16: terms of its primary which is sitting well underneath what
42:40
Speaker 16: it was when they won in twenty twenty two. But
42:44
Speaker 16: of particular concern that the personal approval ratings of Anthony Alberanzi,
42:48
Speaker 16: which continue to be in the toilet now normally at
42:50
Speaker 16: this stage of a cycle six to ten months out
42:53
Speaker 16: from an election, governments wouldn't be that concerned about it.
42:56
Speaker 16: You know, fifty to fifty is okay for an incumbent
42:59
Speaker 16: government government government. But when you look at the Ford
43:03
Speaker 16: Agenda of the alban Ezy government, there are some deep
43:05
Speaker 16: concerns that they can arrest this slide. There is nothing
43:09
Speaker 16: in their Ford Agenda that is positive. You look at
43:12
Speaker 16: the next couple of weeks and a couple of sitting
43:14
Speaker 16: weeks here in Parliament, they have to deliver on environmental
43:17
Speaker 16: reform and I say reform pitting themselves against farmers, mine
43:22
Speaker 16: as the business community. It is going to be a mess.
43:25
Speaker 16: Is that going to win the support of Australians hardly?
43:27
Speaker 16: And then you move on to religious discrimination where they
43:31
Speaker 16: risk alienating further religious communities and people of faith in Australia.
43:35
Speaker 16: So it's hardly a positive few months ahead and we're
43:39
Speaker 16: not going to see that slide be arrested by anything
43:41
Speaker 16: the oven Ezy government does.
43:42
Speaker 11: And then the'st a couple of weeks.
43:44
Speaker 3: No, especially given the big issues at stake here that
43:46
Speaker 3: you just mentioned.
43:47
Speaker 2: Andrew Carswell, good to speak with you.
43:48
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for joining us this evening, for
43:51
Speaker 3: coming up after the break. As Joe Biden Front's reality
43:54
Speaker 3: and blows up the democratic process. Is Vice President Karmala
43:57
Speaker 3: Harris a lot to get the nomination?
44:00
Speaker 2: Wouldn't be so? Sure? Welcome back Well.
44:06
Speaker 3: Democrats have raised nearly fifty million US dollars in small
44:10
Speaker 3: donations since Joe Biden dropped out, making it the party's
44:14
Speaker 3: biggest day since twenty twenty. Jodny b Now is Kinny's contributor. Koshagada,
44:19
Speaker 3: koshare good to see you.
44:20
Speaker 2: The money is coming in thick and fast.
44:25
Speaker 18: It sure is. I think this is the money or
44:28
Speaker 18: the monetary reflection of I think what we all can
44:31
Speaker 18: expect to transpire now that this day many people were
44:34
Speaker 18: calling and predicting has happened, which is that you're going
44:38
Speaker 18: to see sort of the narrative shaping happen. The media
44:41
Speaker 18: is going to fall back in line. They're going to
44:43
Speaker 18: give Joe Biden the hero send off with all the
44:45
Speaker 18: trappings of libraries and book deals and all the rest
44:47
Speaker 18: of it, and then come life, it's her, whoever the
44:51
Speaker 18: nominee is, if they go the open convention route, is
44:53
Speaker 18: going to be the anointed one. And so the money
44:55
Speaker 18: is just a reflection of how the base and the
44:57
Speaker 18: donor class and the Democrat Party is feeling because they've
45:00
Speaker 18: achieved know what they've been pushing for now for three weeks.
45:04
Speaker 2: So what happens next then?
45:05
Speaker 3: Is it truly an open convention or is Kamala Harris
45:09
Speaker 3: being dem nominee a foregone conclusion?
45:14
Speaker 18: I think, you know, this is so unprecedented in US
45:16
Speaker 18: politics that nobody actually knows the answer to that. And
45:19
Speaker 18: those power factions that we've been talking about who were
45:22
Speaker 18: gunning for Biden to stay or to drop, those factions
45:25
Speaker 18: and all that infighting still remains, and you see different
45:27
Speaker 18: camps of people. The Clintons have endorsed her, the Obamas
45:31
Speaker 18: have not. However, smart money seems to be that Kamala
45:34
Speaker 18: still has the advantage, and even if it's an open convention,
45:38
Speaker 18: it's sort of an open convention without being open, where
45:40
Speaker 18: it's almost like window dressing. But the foregone conclusion would
45:44
Speaker 18: be her. We don't know. But the reasons for that
45:46
Speaker 18: is because she holds the money advantage. She gets to
45:48
Speaker 18: keep this funding that you just mentioned. They've raised procedural
45:51
Speaker 18: advantages and optical advantages where she is at least on paper,
45:55
Speaker 18: the vice president, and in the event that Biden has
45:58
Speaker 18: pushed out before the which some factions are saying, you know,
46:01
Speaker 18: that might even happen. Then she gets to actually be president,
46:05
Speaker 18: which will elevate her even more and they'll just be
46:06
Speaker 18: really difficult for someone else to unseat her. But we
46:09
Speaker 18: shall find out in two short weeks.
46:11
Speaker 3: Why haven't the Obamas come out and endorsed her.
46:14
Speaker 2: What's the strategy there?
46:17
Speaker 18: You know, I think it is that they're trying to
46:20
Speaker 18: either actually generate momentum for an open convention, because everybody
46:25
Speaker 18: knows the biggest open secret in politics is she's a
46:28
Speaker 18: very unlikable, unpopular candidate, and all the evidence supports that
46:31
Speaker 18: when she's run previously, in terms of the number of
46:34
Speaker 18: delegates she's gotten and votes she's gotten, or if it
46:37
Speaker 18: is the latter, that they're stuck with her for lack
46:39
Speaker 18: of a better word, even though she's not the best
46:41
Speaker 18: politician or campaigner. It provides that veneer of legitimacy. Because
46:45
Speaker 18: Joe Biden did win all the delegates, millions of people
46:48
Speaker 18: voted for him in their primary process, they didn't open
46:50
Speaker 18: it up to competition at that time, and now they
46:53
Speaker 18: sort of have to provide that veneer that you know
46:55
Speaker 18: what we are still a party that runs a.
46:56
Speaker 2: Process that allows people to vote who they want.
46:59
Speaker 18: They're not nominated, and I think Obama's just trying to
47:01
Speaker 18: shore up that position, even though I think we all
47:03
Speaker 18: can see that that's not likely to be what happens.
47:06
Speaker 3: And if we take a look at the polls, Kosher
47:08
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris would be starting from behind if she is
47:11
Speaker 3: selected by the Democrats to take on Donald Trump. The
47:14
Speaker 3: latest polling said forty six point three percent to Trump's
47:17
Speaker 3: forty eight percent. Trump is still ahead, but is it
47:21
Speaker 3: fair to say that the gap narrows if it is
47:23
Speaker 3: indeed Kamala?
47:24
Speaker 2: I mean, will the switch to her actually work?
47:29
Speaker 18: This is the part that's so fascinating. So she is
47:31
Speaker 18: a very unpopular candidate, behind dramatically in all the polls.
47:35
Speaker 18: She got zero delegates in the Democrat primary. The cycle,
47:39
Speaker 18: she got zero point eight percent of the vote when
47:41
Speaker 18: she was even running in California, which is a deep
47:43
Speaker 18: blue state for attorney general. So she does not have
47:45
Speaker 18: the best track record of whenever she's actually campaigning and running.
47:49
Speaker 18: That said, I would not underestimate the power of the machinery,
47:53
Speaker 18: which includes you know, the media giving her lots of
47:55
Speaker 18: glowing puff pieces, the cover girl treatment. She's going to
47:58
Speaker 18: get on various magazine everybody falling in line and giving
48:02
Speaker 18: her opportunities for photo ops and real presidential situations and
48:05
Speaker 18: meeting with foreign leaders and all of that stuff. When
48:08
Speaker 18: that happens, I would not be surprised if you see
48:10
Speaker 18: that gap shrink, and I think we can expect it.
48:12
Speaker 18: I've maintained that this is going to be a very
48:14
Speaker 18: very close election, notwithstanding all this craziness that's happening, and
48:18
Speaker 18: I think the gap will close no matter who it is.
48:21
Speaker 3: Look, I mean, it's been another fascinating day, but I've
48:23
Speaker 3: got to say, Kosher, it caps off what has been
48:25
Speaker 3: a really fascinating four weeks in US politics.
48:29
Speaker 2: And they say that a week is.
48:30
Speaker 3: A long time in politics, and well, it certainly has
48:33
Speaker 3: been a fascinating month. Kosher, Garda, we're out of time.
48:35
Speaker 3: Really appreciate you joining us. Thank you so much for
48:38
Speaker 3: your company this evening, and thank you for joining me
48:41
Speaker 3: on the program. Sharry Markson will return to the program
48:45
Speaker 3: tomorrow night, but do stay with us here on Sky News.
48:48
Speaker 2: Up now, it's Paul Murray Live,
