  Speaker 1: Live from the Skying New Center. This is the Kenny Report.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Welcome to The Kenny Report. I'm Cali Marcus filling in
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: for Chris Kenny. Coming up tonight. Donald Trump nominated for
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: the Nobel Peace Prize by Israel for helping to neutralize the.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Iran nuclear threat.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: The RBA keeps interest rates on hold after widely being
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: tipped to cut them again, and Prince Harry is brutally
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: mocked by a puppet.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: I'm here to tell my truth and make the money
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: out to podcasting as I don't have any discernible talent.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: But first, an upset for millions of mortgage holders today,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: as the RBA made the shock decision to keep interest
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: rates on hold at three point eight five percent, despite
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: widespread market expectations that'd be another cut. The move has
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: surprised even seasoned economists who had tipped to three third
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: quarter point cut, especially as inflation had stayed within the
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: bank's target range.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: It's emerged three.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Board members were against the hold, but ultimately the six
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: who voted for it won over.
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: The difference between the two camps really was down to
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: a slightly softer reading. Those who wanted to cut a
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: slightly softer reading of the data than those that wanted
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: to hold just for the time being, and also a
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: little bit more concern about the downside risks, particularly on
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: the international side, for those people who who wanted to ease.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: In his response, Treasurer Jim Chalmers acknowledged it was not
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the result many Australians would have been hoping for.
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: This is not the outcome that millions of Australians were
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: hoping for, or the outcome that economists or the market
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: was expecting. It's worth remembering that the latest monthly inflation
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: figures show that booth headline and underlying inflation we're in
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: the bottom half of the Reserve Bank's target band for
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: the first time since August twenty twenty one. Underlying inflation
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: in a monthly since has been in the Reserve banks
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: target band for six consecutive months now.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: But have no doubt this is also an upset for
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Charmers and Anthony Albanizi too, who no doubt would have
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: been practicing their Oscar worthy acceptance speeches to claim glory
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: for another interest rate cut as testament to their superior
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: economic management. Now, of course, the conversation becomes about global
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: uncertainty and all the other factors apparently beyond their control.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: And yes, obviously Donald Trump's looming tariffs on countries around
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: the world will play a role in the Central Banks decision.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: But let's not forget it's.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Been this government and this Prime minister who has failed
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to secure a meeting with Trump or even a recent
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: phone call.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: That could have provided greater confidence.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Both federal and state governments are continuing to respond to
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: the weekend of horror in Melbourne in which an Israeli
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: restaurant and a synagogue were violently attacked, and now pro
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Palestinian supporters are openly calling for death.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: The question raised today does the.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Government now need to look at banning these pro Palestinian
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: protests all together? Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott says yes,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: it does. He's told The Australian the only way to
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: show seriousness now would be to ban the pro mass
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: marches and use the police to break them up like
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the anti lockdown protests were broken up. It's a call
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: that appears to have some backing from our government appointed
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Special and Void to combat Anti Semitism Gillian Siegel, who
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: said violent or intimidating protest activity which targets the Jewish community,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: is not protest, it is anti Semitism.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Australians know this. It must stop.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Australians have had enough of this lie that these are
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: mostly peaceful protests, a lie some media seem to be
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: only too quick to parrot.
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: We condemn any attack in any wasship places, but also
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: we condemned the double standards.
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: Mohammed Churrab has led peaceful anti genocide demonstrations in Melbourne
• 4:39
  Speaker 8: for months.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: What first of Allline News.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: These are not anti genocide demonstrations. This radical accusation of
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: genocide is strongly disputed. If anyone is genocidal, it's the
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: harmas terrorists. Many of these protesters openly support.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: And let me tell you a bit about Muhammed Sharab.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: That peaceful activist is currently a waiting trial for the
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: violent kidnapping and hammer attack on another man last year.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I also revealed the protest leader was referred last year
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: to federal and state police for openly calling for armed
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: resistance on the streets of Melbourne.
• 5:21
  Speaker 9: Believe in the armed resistance, I say bring bad dharmed resistance.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: This is Palestinian activist Mohammed Sharab outside Melbourne's US consulates,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: We're going to.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Start the armed resistance.
• 5:35
  Speaker 10: I'm gonna go back and celebrate the fair.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: And dark colony death. That's why America deserves, That's why
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: American colony deserves. That's why American leaders deserve.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: The AFP later cleared him and said no offense had
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: been committed. Sharab has also been filmed wearing the Hamas
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: emblem at these protests and openly supporting the terror group.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Long Live the Resistance, Long Live CAMAS.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: All this would have been apparent with a five minute
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Internet search. But that's just one example of how lazy
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: many in the media have been and accepting the propaganda
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: from these activists that these are simply peaceful anti Zionist
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: protests nothing to do with due hatred. The Liberals have
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: been more restrained than their former leader Tony Abbott in
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: calling for violent protest activity to be stopped.
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: I think we do need to look at what's happening
• 6:33
  Speaker 8: in our cities, and people have the right to protest,
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: but people in the city shouldn't have to put up
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: with the nature of violent protests where people smash up
• 6:42
  Speaker 8: shops and burn down buildings and call for the death
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: of people. That's not Australia.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, we should defend our democratic right to peaceful protest,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: but when it is clear organizers can't be trusted to
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: demonstrate peacefully without inciting hatred and violence. Again, as a
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: vulnerable group of people, they no longer deserve that privilege.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: There's been a historic meeting between Donald Trump and Benjamin
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Nennahu in which the Israeli Prime Minister nominated the US
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: President for the Noble Peace Prize for helping to neutralize
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the Iron nuclear threat. The two leaders met at the
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: White House to discuss ways to end the war between
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Israel and Hamas and foster lasting peace in the Middle East,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: but there was an unexpected moment when net Nahou leaned
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: across the dinner table to hand an envelope to Trump,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: catching the President by surprise.
• 7:41
  Speaker 11: I want to present to you I was president, the
• 7:44
  Speaker 11: letter I sent to the Normal Prize Committee. It's nomine
• 7:48
  Speaker 11: you for the Peace Prize, which is well deserved, and
• 7:51
  Speaker 11: you should go. Thank you very much. This I didn't know.
• 7:56
  Speaker 12: Well, thank you very much coming from you in particular,
• 8:01
  Speaker 12: this is a very meaningful.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: If anything, this nomination is long overdue. As former White
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: House Chief of Staff Mick Malvaney told Sky News.
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: Probably should have won the Nobel Prize with the Abraham
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: Accords during the first term.
• 8:17
  Speaker 10: Barack Obama won it for being Barack Obama.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: But of course you can expect the very many people
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: around the world afflicted with Trump derangement syndrome to rail
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: against this nomination.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Well, it hardly fits the narrative they've long pushed.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Trump is a fascist who would cause World War three.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: But remember, Israel isn't even the first country to put
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: him forward for the prize. Two weeks ago, Pakistan formally
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: recommended he received the honor for his handling of.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Its conflict with India.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Before today's meeting, Ntannya, who also said Israel and the
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: US were on the verge of finding other countries who
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: would agree to take in Palestinians who wish to leave
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: the war torn Gaza strip.
• 9:00
  Speaker 11: We're working with the United States very closely about finding
• 9:05
  Speaker 11: countries that will seek to realize what they always say
• 9:09
  Speaker 11: that they want to give the Palestinians a better future
• 9:12
  Speaker 11: and those who are and I think we're we're getting
• 9:16
  Speaker 11: close to finding several countries.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Ce the usual hysterics about Israel and the US carrying
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: out ethnic cleansing. But it's important to note the key
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: word in this immigration plan is voluntary.
• 9:32
  Speaker 11: President Trump had a brilliant vision. It's called free choice.
• 9:36
  Speaker 11: You know, if people want to stay, they can stay.
• 9:40
  Speaker 11: But if they want to leave, they should be able
• 9:42
  Speaker 11: to leave.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: And as for the US back sixty days ceasefire proposal
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: with her Mass, Nanya, who has three red lines according
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: to Israeli media, the destruction of her Mass, the exile
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: of its leadership from Gaza, and the full disarmament of
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: its militants. Nanya, who also restated his opposition to the
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: creation of a Palestinian state, saying the Palestinians had a
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: state before the October seven terror attacks, a Hamas state,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: and if Israel agreed to another state, it would be
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: like committing suicide.
• 10:17
  Speaker 11: Now people say it's not a complete state, it's not
• 10:20
  Speaker 11: a state. It's not that we don't care. You know,
• 10:23
  Speaker 11: we vowed never again, never again. Is now how can
• 10:27
  Speaker 11: happen again?
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: On Iran at Yahoo compared the neutralized nuclear threat to
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: a tumor, saying the world can't become complacent for fear
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: of a recurrence.
• 10:40
  Speaker 13: When you remove a tumor, doesn't mean that you can't
• 10:42
  Speaker 13: come back. You have to help constantly monitor the situation
• 10:46
  Speaker 13: to make sure that there's no attempt to bring it back.
• 10:48
  Speaker 13: So we've had a great achievement, and I think part
• 10:51
  Speaker 13: of the effort of consolidating this and ensuring that we
• 10:56
  Speaker 13: don't have to repeat this is to monitor this carefully.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: And I'll be discussing that meeting and more with Alex
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Ripchin shortly. And finally some sad news. Our former longtime
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: colleague here at Sky News, the highly respected journalist Terry Galloway.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Has died.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: As a ten year old, Terry hand wrote his own
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: newspapers before landing an apprenticeship at the Townsville Daily bulletin
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: age fifteen. He worked across newspapers, radio and television, and
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: was at Sky News for more than twenty three years,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: including as chief subeditor. In twenty twenty two, he received
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: the Order of Australia for his contribution to broadcast news media.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Was there ever any moment in your career that you
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: wanted to do anything else?
• 11:48
  Speaker 14: No, simply no, Laura, I can honestly say that not
• 11:54
  Speaker 14: once in my life have I even not wanted to
• 11:57
  Speaker 14: go to work working in the media. In news, papers,
• 12:00
  Speaker 14: radio and television is just the most exciting thing any
• 12:04
  Speaker 14: person could wish for.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Terry was one of the last few remaining old school newsmen,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: and on a personal level, he was always a warm
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: and kind colleague, even on our many four am shifts together,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: a generous mentor to the younger journalists around him.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Our thoughts tonight are with.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: His beloved wife, Coral, his children and grandchildren.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Rest well, Terry Galloway.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Well Olbo's woeful priorities are being widely admonished today.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: He's obfuscating at every.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Turn when it comes to Donald Trump, still failing to
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: secure a meeting or while planning another trip to China,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: his second in two years. This was the best he
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: could offer up on the topic of the tariff war.
• 12:53
  Speaker 15: Today no country has a better deal than Australia. Now
• 12:58
  Speaker 15: we'll continue to put our case that tariff's are an
• 13:03
  Speaker 15: act of economic self harm and that we should be
• 13:07
  Speaker 15: entitled to reship pingal tariffs which is zero.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Joining me now is Kevin Hogan, Shadow Trade Minister. Kevin,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: thanks for coming on. What in the world is Albanezi
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: doing when it comes to Trump? This is getting fast
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: and col Now.
• 13:24
  Speaker 10: Well, it is embarrassing and it's very disappointing. Look, I
• 13:28
  Speaker 10: think when firstly two, it's not even true necessarily what
• 13:30
  Speaker 10: he's saying about no country has a better deal. There
• 13:33
  Speaker 10: are countries now getting carve outs, especially on steel and alominium.
• 13:36
  Speaker 10: So for example, we have a fifty percent tariff from
• 13:39
  Speaker 10: the US on our still aluminium. The UK Prime Minister
• 13:42
  Speaker 10: has been able to negotiate a carve out and has
• 13:44
  Speaker 10: about a twenty five percent tariff. So there people are
• 13:47
  Speaker 10: getting better deals on stealing aluminium than US. So that's
• 13:50
  Speaker 10: not true what he said. But Calin it's embarrassing. I
• 13:53
  Speaker 10: don't think he initially he prioritized it. I think he
• 13:56
  Speaker 10: has a bit of, you know, a strange attitude towards Trump,
• 13:59
  Speaker 10: and I don't think he prioritized the relationship early on
• 14:02
  Speaker 10: in Trump's being elected president back in November. And now
• 14:05
  Speaker 10: obviously he sees the need that he must have a meeting,
• 14:07
  Speaker 10: but it's proving difficult. But look, it's embarrassing. Wasn't a
• 14:13
  Speaker 10: priority initially he still hasn't been able to secure. It's
• 14:15
  Speaker 10: damaging now to us still in aluminium workers. We know
• 14:19
  Speaker 10: the US are reviewing orcus they're announcing what the review
• 14:23
  Speaker 10: on the tariffs are and the paws on the tariffs,
• 14:25
  Speaker 10: and our Prime minister can't even get a phone call
• 14:27
  Speaker 10: on these important issues, never known a meeting. It's embarrassing.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: You're right, it's very embarrassing.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: And it doesn't look like the tariff battle is anywhere
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: near over Albanese reckons. He hasn't given up on negotiating
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: a reduction on that ten percent tariff to be imposed
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: by the US. Trump meanwhile, has branded some countries as spoiled.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Watch this.
• 14:48
  Speaker 12: We've already taken in over one hundred billion dollars worth
• 14:51
  Speaker 12: of tariffs and we haven't even started.
• 14:53
  Speaker 16: And all I say to the other countries is, you know,
• 14:56
  Speaker 16: some of them wanted to make a deal and want
• 14:58
  Speaker 16: to be fair. Others perhaps got a little bit spoiled.
• 15:01
  Speaker 16: They were a little bit spoiled because for thirty forty years,
• 15:04
  Speaker 16: fifty years they were taking advantage.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, seeing that, do you have any confidence Albanesi
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: will be able to negotiate a better deal for Australians.
• 15:16
  Speaker 17: Well, look, I've always.
• 15:17
  Speaker 10: Want to be optimistic. Obviously we did when in government
• 15:19
  Speaker 10: we had an exemption around steal and Alamingham tariffs and.
• 15:22
  Speaker 16: We got a deal.
• 15:22
  Speaker 10: We did a deal or lead it to lead it
• 15:24
  Speaker 10: with Trump, so I'm optimistic that it could happen, but
• 15:26
  Speaker 10: obviously it doesn't look like Albanesi has a lot of
• 15:28
  Speaker 10: will to do it. But the other reason and probably
• 15:30
  Speaker 10: even more important reason that he needs to see Trump, Caroline,
• 15:34
  Speaker 10: is that you know, we do not want to see
• 15:36
  Speaker 10: you know, he has to forcefully make the point to
• 15:38
  Speaker 10: Trump that tariff's are bad. I believe, we believe is
• 15:41
  Speaker 10: the opposition that tariffs are bad. We sold six hundred
• 15:44
  Speaker 10: and fifty billion dollars worth of stuff overseas last year
• 15:48
  Speaker 10: to other countries. We are an exporting nation. We make
• 15:51
  Speaker 10: our wealth from the exports that we sell, and we
• 15:54
  Speaker 10: do not want a global trade war. And he has
• 15:56
  Speaker 10: to put that case really firmly to the US as
• 15:58
  Speaker 10: an ally. But you know, we disagree with Trump and
• 16:01
  Speaker 10: the US on this policy and that needs to be
• 16:03
  Speaker 10: made forcefully.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: The review on Woukas is.
• 16:06
  Speaker 10: Crucial that he sit down and have a close chat
• 16:08
  Speaker 10: with him. There's obviously not a rapport between Albanezi and Trump,
• 16:13
  Speaker 10: but yet we've seen with other Labour prime ministers and
• 16:15
  Speaker 10: love of the Liberal prime ministers has been a strong
• 16:17
  Speaker 10: personal relationship between the leaders, which is what we should
• 16:21
  Speaker 10: always have.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Well, let's hope so that will be the case. It
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: remains to be seen. There's not a lot of confidence.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Just very quickly, there is a report out today revealing
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: the News Upweld Liberal Party is considering adopting these US
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: style primaries while selecting election candidates, and this plan reportedly
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: is increasing has got increasing popularity, including from senior Liberal
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: figures like Julian Lisa and Angus Taylor. Even the former
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: News Upwell's premier, Dominique Pete, has advocated for primaries.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: What's your view on this?
• 16:54
  Speaker 10: Yeah, look interesting, Caroline. I mean, obviously I'm a mad
• 16:56
  Speaker 10: I'm not a lib so I have to preface it
• 16:58
  Speaker 10: with this. We have done in the past is nationals.
• 17:02
  Speaker 10: We've called them community pre selections. We had a community
• 17:05
  Speaker 10: pre selection here in my patch for a state seat once.
• 17:08
  Speaker 10: I thought it worked really well. I mean the community
• 17:10
  Speaker 10: literally start to own the candidate. You could not even
• 17:13
  Speaker 10: be a member of the party and come along as
• 17:15
  Speaker 10: a member of the community and pre select the Nationals candidate.
• 17:17
  Speaker 10: We had a good turnout for that. It went quite well. Look,
• 17:21
  Speaker 10: and I think it's the answer for every seat, every election.
• 17:23
  Speaker 10: But look, I you know, if the Liberal Party embraced
• 17:26
  Speaker 10: that as an idea to try, I think it's not
• 17:28
  Speaker 10: a bad idea. As I said that we as Nationals
• 17:30
  Speaker 10: have done it for a number of state seats in
• 17:31
  Speaker 10: New South Wales are ready and I thought it was
• 17:33
  Speaker 10: a healthy process.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe you guys can show them how to do
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: it that, Kevin Hogan, thank you so much for your
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: time this evening. Now, as I spoke about at the
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: top of the show, Benjamin Natanya, who has nominated Donald
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize, making the surprise revelation
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: during their meeting in the White House.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Here again was that moment I want to present to.
• 17:53
  Speaker 11: You I was president, the letter I sent to the
• 17:56
  Speaker 11: Normal Prize Committee you for the Peace Prize, which is
• 18:01
  Speaker 11: well deserved.
• 18:02
  Speaker 13: And you should get it.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Thank you very much.
• 18:06
  Speaker 11: This I didn't know.
• 18:08
  Speaker 12: Well, thank you very much. Coming from you in particular,
• 18:13
  Speaker 12: this is a very meaningful.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Of course, the focus of the meeting remains on securing
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: a seasfire deal between Israel and Jimas. Here was the
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: White House Press secretary making that clear.
• 18:25
  Speaker 18: Today the President is focused on today and to get
• 18:30
  Speaker 18: the Hamas to agree to this ceasefire. I don't want
• 18:32
  Speaker 18: to comment on the details of the arrangement out of
• 18:34
  Speaker 18: respect for these negotiations, but a agreeable and appropriate ceasefire
• 18:39
  Speaker 18: proposal has been sent to Hamas, and I can also
• 18:41
  Speaker 18: tell you Special Envoy Witkoff intends to travel to Doha
• 18:45
  Speaker 18: later this week where he will continue to engage in
• 18:47
  Speaker 18: these discussions. And the Kataris and the Egyptians have been
• 18:50
  Speaker 18: incredibly helpful partners in mediating these negotiations and discussions to
• 18:55
  Speaker 18: bring peace to this region and end this conflict once
• 18:57
  Speaker 18: and for all.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Joining me now is Executive Council of Australian Jury CO
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: CEO Alex Ripton. Alex, It's always great to see you.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: What is your take on today's events, this nomination for
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: a Nobel Peace Prize and what are your expectations out
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: of this potential ceasefire deal.
• 19:17
  Speaker 19: Well, look, I think President Trump deserves credit for upending
• 19:21
  Speaker 19: the way many people think about Middle East peace already,
• 19:24
  Speaker 19: and he did that in his first term with the
• 19:26
  Speaker 19: Abraham Accords, which totally contravene conventional wisdom in Washington that
• 19:31
  Speaker 19: the only way that could happen would be with a
• 19:33
  Speaker 19: prior agreement to when the Arab Israeli passed in conflict,
• 19:38
  Speaker 19: so he's a circuit breaker. He does things in an
• 19:41
  Speaker 19: unconventional way, and I think he deserves credit for it,
• 19:44
  Speaker 19: but I think we're still a way off praising him
• 19:46
  Speaker 19: absolutely for achieving Middle East peace, and a key plank
• 19:51
  Speaker 19: to that is, of course, the removal of Hamas. President
• 19:53
  Speaker 19: Trump has designs on a wider regional engagement. That's talk
• 19:57
  Speaker 19: about Syria joining the Abraham Accords. Of course, the Saudis
• 20:00
  Speaker 19: are a huge prize there as well, but that can
• 20:03
  Speaker 19: really only happen when Hamas is removed. If Hamas remains
• 20:05
  Speaker 19: in power at the end of any end of conflict
• 20:08
  Speaker 19: between Israel and Hamas, they will keep dragging the region
• 20:11
  Speaker 19: back into war because that is what they are, that's
• 20:13
  Speaker 19: in their DNA, that's what they're all about. So whether
• 20:16
  Speaker 19: it's by militarily defeating Harmas in its entirety or exile
• 20:20
  Speaker 19: in their remaining leadership, or whatever the arrangement is, we
• 20:23
  Speaker 19: can't have a situation where Hamas remains a factor in
• 20:26
  Speaker 19: Gaza any longer because that will keep pulling the region
• 20:29
  Speaker 19: back into war, which nobody wants to see.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't think Israel whatever agree to any
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: terms where that would be a reality. Meanwhile, back home,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Tony Abbott has called for what he's labeled these weekly
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: pro Hamas protests to be banned, saying it's the only
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: way for government to show they're serious about cracking down
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: on anti Semitism.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Do you agree, Well, look all.
• 20:51
  Speaker 19: The way through we've opposed these protests in terms of
• 20:55
  Speaker 19: their tone, their tenor their impact on social cohesion and harmony,
• 21:00
  Speaker 19: but we've never called for them to be banned because
• 21:01
  Speaker 19: we respect and defend the right of free assembling, the
• 21:04
  Speaker 19: rights of protest. But I think there comes a point
• 21:06
  Speaker 19: where we have to realize that these protests aren't ordinary
• 21:10
  Speaker 19: public gatherings. And when you have, increasingly these gatherings support
• 21:14
  Speaker 19: for terrorism, chance for interfata, which is now being brought
• 21:17
  Speaker 19: into our synagogues and into our restaurants and into our CBDs,
• 21:21
  Speaker 19: When you have praise for terrorist leaders, when you have
• 21:24
  Speaker 19: the sorts of things that we're hearing on a regular basis,
• 21:27
  Speaker 19: calls for death, you have to realize you're not dealing
• 21:30
  Speaker 19: with an ordinary situation anymore, and you have to treat
• 21:32
  Speaker 19: it with extraordinary ways. Increasingly, these rallies are a tool
• 21:36
  Speaker 19: for incitement and radicalization, and we're seeing the consequence of
• 21:40
  Speaker 19: that in our synagogues, in our streets and throughout our cities.
• 21:44
  Speaker 19: So something more has to be done.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Clearly, I'll take that as a very tentative.
• 21:48
  Speaker 16: Yes.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Perhaps mister Albanezy was pressed on how he was handling
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: the anti Semitism crisis, and this is what he had
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: to say today.
• 21:57
  Speaker 20: What we're doing is working with the Special Envoy on
• 22:00
  Speaker 20: anti Semitism, and we'll have more to say.
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: About that incoming days.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I appointed a special Envoy.
• 22:07
  Speaker 20: That was something that came from the community that request.
• 22:12
  Speaker 20: Jillian Siegel has been doing a terrific job and the
• 22:16
  Speaker 20: coming days we'll have more to say there. But of
• 22:19
  Speaker 20: course we have responded substantially.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Alex, he still refuses to adopt the fifteen recommendations
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: you put forward at the sky Newese Executive Council of
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Australian Jury Anti Semitism, Somemit.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Earlier than this year. So is all of this good enough?
• 22:37
  Speaker 19: Well, look what the Prime Minister said today is that
• 22:40
  Speaker 19: he's engaging, as we heard there, with a Special Envoy,
• 22:43
  Speaker 19: Jillian Siegel, who has the complete confidence of the Jewish community,
• 22:47
  Speaker 19: and she shares many of the same views as the
• 22:49
  Speaker 19: CJA in terms of how to deal with this crisis
• 22:52
  Speaker 19: in the sort of policy colibration. We need to get
• 22:55
  Speaker 19: beyond this point of crisis. So we'll see in the
• 22:58
  Speaker 19: next few days. The Prime Minister said that there are
• 23:00
  Speaker 19: announcements to come. The Education Minister has spoken about the
• 23:03
  Speaker 19: need to enhance anti Semitism education and augment the curriculum
• 23:07
  Speaker 19: in terms of how it deals with the Holocaust. So
• 23:10
  Speaker 19: we'll wait and see. But what everyone realizes is that
• 23:12
  Speaker 19: we have to move beyond retric and we have to
• 23:14
  Speaker 19: have action. The action plan is there. The fifteen points
• 23:18
  Speaker 19: remain really the key to dealing with this crisis and
• 23:22
  Speaker 19: rooting it out in terms of where it takes hold
• 23:24
  Speaker 19: in the campuses, in the cultural sector, reforming the Migration Act,
• 23:28
  Speaker 19: dealing with social media where so much disinformation occurs. That
• 23:32
  Speaker 19: remains the blueprint. But we're confident that in the coming
• 23:34
  Speaker 19: days the Prime Minister, through the endvoid, will announce some
• 23:38
  Speaker 19: form of policy setting that will actually deal with the
• 23:42
  Speaker 19: situation that we all find ourselves in.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Well, let's hope for Alex is desperately needed.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Alex Ripchin, thank you, as always for your time today.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: A shock decision by the RBA to keep interest rates
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: on hold at three point eight five percent. The Reserve
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Bank was expected to announce a quarter of a percentage
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: point rate cut after inflation fell back within the bank's
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: target rate. Joining me now is Dimitri burst In from Eminence.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Eminence advisored Dmitri, great to have you on.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Were you surprised by.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: This decision and what do you think prompted the RBA
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: to remain so cautious in deciding to hold rates.
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: Well, thanks for having me on your show, Caroline. Yes,
• 24:26
  Speaker 9: I was surprised by the announcement, but I actually think
• 24:29
  Speaker 9: it was the correct one. If you followed some of
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: the news that flowed from the following the meeting the announcement,
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: it was a six to three decision to maintain the
• 24:41
  Speaker 9: rate at where it currently is. The statutory obligation of
• 24:45
  Speaker 9: the RBA is not to compensate for poor government policy
• 24:48
  Speaker 9: compressing economic growth. Its obligation is to maintain full employment
• 24:54
  Speaker 9: and maintain price stability through inflation. The trimmed mean A rate,
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: which is the RBA's preferred rate, is two point nine.
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: It's it's on the high side of target. Unemployment is
• 25:08
  Speaker 9: four percent. There was really no argument I could see
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: for the for the RBA to cut rates. I think
• 25:14
  Speaker 9: the market got ahead of itself. And if you have
• 25:16
  Speaker 9: a look at the inflation rate, it's you know, the
• 25:20
  Speaker 9: it's two point nine interest rate is three point the
• 25:23
  Speaker 9: official interest rate is three point eight five. That means
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: the real interest rate is below one percent. That's a
• 25:29
  Speaker 9: that's a low rate. And so I can understand the
• 25:32
  Speaker 9: caution of many of the members of the of the
• 25:34
  Speaker 9: Central Bank.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: It will be obviously a disappointing decision from many people
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: watching at home. Is this also an indictment on the
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: labor government and it's handling its economic management?
• 25:47
  Speaker 9: Do you think I'll beyond the shadow of a doubt?
• 25:49
  Speaker 9: I mean, the Treasurer has come out and pointed out
• 25:52
  Speaker 9: that other countries are cutting interest rate while Australia. Australia isn't.
• 25:56
  Speaker 9: But other countries haven't got a productivity problem, you know,
• 25:59
  Speaker 9: cause by you know, huge government spending, you know, more
• 26:04
  Speaker 9: taxes and more regulation than the I can see. Of course,
• 26:08
  Speaker 9: you know, the RBA's job is not there to compensate
• 26:10
  Speaker 9: for bad government economic policy. Its job is price stability
• 26:14
  Speaker 9: and full employment. If the Treasurer wants interest rates and
• 26:18
  Speaker 9: a healthy economy. He should actually do something about it
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: and pursue a productivity agenda.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Well, Dimitri Burstein, we really appreciate your analysis tonight. It's
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: been a shock upset for many people. Appreciate you coming
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: on now. Coming up a one point five million dollar
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: taxpayer bill for seventy five public servants to attend a
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: climate change summit that mind blowing climate insanity is up next.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Plus welcome back, a one point five million dollar taxpayer
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: bill for seventy five public servants to attend the UN
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Climate change summit and average cost of twenty grand ahead.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Sound crazy, it is, but that's exactly what the total
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: came to for our bureaucrats to go to this summit
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: in Azerbaijan. Joining me now is the Daily Telegraphs Tim Blair. Tim,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: it is always great to see you, but this takes
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: climate insanity to a whole new low or should I
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: say hi as in a high cost to us the taxpayer.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: I just love this scam and I hate myself for
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: not getting on this bandwagon.
• 27:32
  Speaker 11: It is.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: It's so beautifully composed. You know, they've decided, you know
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: that a variable system called the weather is going to
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: keep being variable, and until it's not variable, they need
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: to study this, they need to go to all these great,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: great overseas things, and they need to be paid a
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: lot of money until it stops being variable, which will
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: never happen. The weather is never going to be fixed
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: in ways that they that they wish it would be.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: It's just going to keep the weather, because that's what
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: weather is. In the meantime, the money just keeps rolling in.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: But also the irony they're flying there, presumably on a plane.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: I mean they're not taking a rowboat over and all
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: these carbon emissions. They're certainly not helping things, if these
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: climate alarmists are to be believed.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: No, well that's the The other thing about our climate
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: alarmist friends is that when they're not flying, they're living
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: in their mansions, which are typically on the coasts. Earning
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: our Gore, the grand daddy of them all, has got
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: a mention in California, which is right on the coach.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Kevin Mudd, Julia Gillard, those famous Australian climate activists. They're
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: not living in the inland away from the rising seas.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: They're right there helping us, maybe protecting us from the
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: rising borders.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's very selfless of them.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Really, Timmy wrote an unmissible piece in the Daily Telegraph
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: called her masslid media complied media spin on October seven.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Massacre puts Jewish lives at risk. And now I personally
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: lost count of the number of times the media has
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: quoted har Massa's own figures and statements on critically, even
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: when they defy plausibility entirely. Why do you think there
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: is such a gullibility there.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: It's a willful gullibility, isn't, Caroline. It gives credibility to
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: a bunch of psychopathic lunatics who are who kill and
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: rape and kidnap and slaughter people. And then they turn
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: around and say, well, let's hear what these guys have
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: to say about their own death thoughts. No, they're insane degenerates.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: This will be the equivalent in the World War Two
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: of taking the propaganda of say a Tokyo Rose, for example,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: and running that on the front page as an acceptable source. No. No,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: it should be easy for the media to make a
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: value judgment here and put har Maas's words at least
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: put a few question marks around them and express some
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: out about the source.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: You know, I also played an example earlier in the
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: show of how Channelmine platformed this radical protest leader, Mohammed Shara,
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: but they called him a leader of anti genocide marches.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: That's how they referred the pro Palestini marches, and that
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: they were mostly peaceful. Meanwhile, the guys are waiting trial.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: We can't talk about it too much obviously legal issues.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: For kidnap and assault.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: He's made some very objectionable statements calling for death on
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: the streets of Melbourne. I mean, there's a lot to
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: be said about how the media also treat these pro
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Palestinian marches happening.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: Here and some of the leaders behind it.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's all you know, freedom and liberty, and
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: you know it's all couched in terms that everyone would
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: find acceptable. We all like freedom. But it's the fact
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: that drill down even the millimeter into the details here
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: and it's a little bit of a different story. Drill
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: down a few more millimeters and you get to the
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: dons of the gathera where we still have kidnap victims.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: So yeah, no respect, no credibility to them.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: It's always they find this sudden respect for freedom of
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: speech when it's on their side of politics.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: And their views.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Now before I go, I just had to get your
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: thoughts on Robert Irwin's dine and dash that's breaking the internet.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: The crop Hunter's son, now twenty one years old, forgot.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: To pay for his salad. Here's his explanation.
• 31:33
  Speaker 21: They got the salad super fast. I made sure, I said,
• 31:36
  Speaker 21: hight absolutely, everyone cheers, thanks so much, have a good night,
• 31:39
  Speaker 21: see you later. And then the next morning I wake
• 31:41
  Speaker 21: up and realize I never paid for my salad. I
• 31:46
  Speaker 21: just did the old dine and dash and I didn't
• 31:48
  Speaker 21: even realize i'd done it. I felt terrible, so, you know,
• 31:51
  Speaker 21: reached out, do you want me to give you my
• 31:53
  Speaker 21: credit card details? And they said, oh, I love what
• 31:55
  Speaker 21: you do. It's all good, you know, sorry for the
• 31:56
  Speaker 21: mix up. Just leave us a good review. So I said, guys, Pavilion,
• 32:00
  Speaker 21: I got to do you one better. There are eight
• 32:02
  Speaker 21: million of you guys on here, so you know what
• 32:05
  Speaker 21: to do.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Tim.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Have you ever walked out of a joint and unintentionally,
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: of course, forgot to pay.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: I have walked out of a supermarket with several bags
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: of groceries and then horrified, run back in and paid
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: for everything, and express my great shame. But this was
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: a great opportunity. I missed opportunity for the young Irwin boy.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: He should have said, you should have said, in the
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: great meme tradition, what is the crime? I ate a salad,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: A succulent restaurant salad. He could have gone with the older,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: the old meme from a few years ago.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: There was a bit of a talon in the succulent
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: though it's not it's not an Asian meme, an Asian meal.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: As you referred to in that famous craft. It's a salad.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: What can you say?
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: But of course, I, like most of us, we don't
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: have Instagram followers or TikTok with eight millions, so I
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: guess they won't give it to us for free. In
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: the end, Tim Blair, thank you. Always always fun to
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: have a chat up. Next, it's the divorce that keeps
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: getting more and more bitter. Elon Musk's plan to form
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: a third political party isn't.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Something its former power is to impress by.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Plus Kamala Harris's laughable advice finally revealed after that disastrous
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Biden Trump debate.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: We'll discuss that next.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Welcome back to the US now, and in a tragedy
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: of deeply devastate, devastating scale. The death toll from the
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Texas flash flooding has now surpassed one hundred, including twenty
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: eight children. Skynese Australia contributor Kristen Tate joined us earlier
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: from Boston, telling me President Trump is expected to make
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: his way to Texas.
• 33:52
  Speaker 22: Yeah, he's going to be seeing the damage there and
• 33:55
  Speaker 22: helping the people on the ground. And I have to say,
• 33:57
  Speaker 22: these Texas floods hit hard for me person. I spent
• 34:01
  Speaker 22: over a decade as a proud Texas resident, and I
• 34:04
  Speaker 22: currently have family living in Texas, including my brother. We've
• 34:08
  Speaker 22: seen many people die in these horrific floods, including children
• 34:12
  Speaker 22: at a girls camp. Of course, Texas is prone to
• 34:15
  Speaker 22: these crazy weather anomalies. When I was living there a
• 34:19
  Speaker 22: few years ago, we got in Houston an ice storm
• 34:22
  Speaker 22: that knocked all the power out in our house for
• 34:25
  Speaker 22: days on ends. They are prone to these kinds of things,
• 34:29
  Speaker 22: flash floods like what happened here. This was just a
• 34:32
  Speaker 22: totally unpredictable freak weather event. So Trump is going to
• 34:37
  Speaker 22: go there to help the people on the ground. The
• 34:39
  Speaker 22: administration is fully activated, but of course the Democrats in
• 34:43
  Speaker 22: the United States right now are using this tragedy to
• 34:46
  Speaker 22: blame Donald Trump and express their glee over the pain
• 34:51
  Speaker 22: that people are feeling, and to try to just score
• 34:54
  Speaker 22: political points. It's really disgusting.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: How are these floods being politicized by the end Trump left.
• 35:01
  Speaker 22: Well, they're trying to blame doge elon Musk's effort to
• 35:05
  Speaker 22: cut government funding. However, the National Weather Service did issue
• 35:11
  Speaker 22: many alerts leading up to these floods, including you know,
• 35:14
  Speaker 22: flash flood warnings. Unfortunately, some of those were sent overnight. However,
• 35:19
  Speaker 22: the National Weather Service did do its job in this case.
• 35:24
  Speaker 22: They're also saying that, you know, Trump has said in
• 35:28
  Speaker 22: the past that he wants local authorities to have more
• 35:31
  Speaker 22: control over how they respond to weather events because you know,
• 35:35
  Speaker 22: people on the ground tend to have a better idea
• 35:37
  Speaker 22: for the geography and the people living there. That is true. However,
• 35:41
  Speaker 22: it's still the case that in this tragic event, the
• 35:44
  Speaker 22: National Weather Service did do its job. This is just
• 35:48
  Speaker 22: one of those things that it happened so fast, it
• 35:50
  Speaker 22: was unpredictable up until a very short time before the
• 35:54
  Speaker 22: floods happened, and it's really just disgusting to try to
• 35:58
  Speaker 22: politicize this. Also, want to say, Caroline, when when Biden
• 36:02
  Speaker 22: was in office and we had weather events, they would
• 36:04
  Speaker 22: always blame the local authorities, never President Biden. If you
• 36:08
  Speaker 22: look back at the tragedy the fires in California that
• 36:13
  Speaker 22: happened right before Trump was inaugurated, nobody on the left
• 36:16
  Speaker 22: wanted to blame Gavin Newsom. I'm sorry, nobody wanted to
• 36:19
  Speaker 22: blame Biden for that. They all looked at the state officials.
• 36:23
  Speaker 22: But now that a Republican is in power, that's all reversed.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Pretty reprehensible double standards to Elon Musk. Now he wants
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: to form a third political party.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: Trump has called that ridiculous.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: How is Musk's idea being received by Americans.
• 36:40
  Speaker 22: There's not a whole lot of hype around this idea, honestly,
• 36:45
  Speaker 22: because the very announcement of the idea is off putting
• 36:49
  Speaker 22: to Trump's entire base, who will remain loyal to Trump
• 36:52
  Speaker 22: no matter what. And leftists they've already decided that they
• 36:55
  Speaker 22: can't stand Elon, so they're not going to join his
• 36:57
  Speaker 22: movement either. I've always thought Elon would be much better
• 37:01
  Speaker 22: suited to try to influence the GOP from inside the party.
• 37:05
  Speaker 22: In fact, I wrote for Sky News that these two men,
• 37:09
  Speaker 22: Elon Musk and Donald Trump really need to bury the
• 37:11
  Speaker 22: hatchet for the good of the party in the country.
• 37:14
  Speaker 22: They both bring something unique to the Republican Party and
• 37:17
  Speaker 22: it's a real shame that they have ended up in
• 37:20
  Speaker 22: this spat. It really threatens to fracture the GOP. But
• 37:26
  Speaker 22: right now, what we're seeing with this announcement for Musk
• 37:29
  Speaker 22: is the strength of Trump's support in relation to Musks.
• 37:33
  Speaker 22: You have, you know, some people who are online, the
• 37:36
  Speaker 22: very online, young people who love Elon Musk. Some of
• 37:39
  Speaker 22: those people would probably support a third party, But by
• 37:42
  Speaker 22: and large, most Republicans are sticking with Trump.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: It doesn't sound like too much of a threat. Meanwhile,
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Kamala Harris's message to Democrat Governor zov to last is
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: train wreck. Boden Trump debate, which was just gaff upon
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: gaff has been revealed.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: What did she tell them?
• 38:01
  Speaker 23: Well, she essentially just through She told all of the
• 38:07
  Speaker 23: people who were doubting Biden that they needed to line
• 38:10
  Speaker 23: up and support President Biden because democracy.
• 38:14
  Speaker 22: Was at risk. And she used some foul language in
• 38:18
  Speaker 22: that statement as well, in order to defend Biden. But
• 38:22
  Speaker 22: look at the time, everybody knew the Biden campaign was
• 38:24
  Speaker 22: in free fall. Many people were starting to realize he
• 38:28
  Speaker 22: would not be the nominee, and that includes Kamala Harris.
• 38:31
  Speaker 22: She had to show her loyalty in that moment. But
• 38:33
  Speaker 22: of course she was glad that Biden was failing because
• 38:37
  Speaker 22: she knew she would be the one to step in
• 38:39
  Speaker 22: and that's exactly what happened. But she had to appear loyal.
• 38:43
  Speaker 22: So after that debate she was telling everyone, you need
• 38:46
  Speaker 22: to support Biden to defend our democracy. It's literally about
• 38:50
  Speaker 22: democracy being.
• 38:51
  Speaker 9: On the line.
• 38:52
  Speaker 22: It was all a lie. She was very excited at
• 38:55
  Speaker 22: his debate performance because she was the one who benefited
• 38:58
  Speaker 22: from it.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: After the break, the details of Airbus albos trip to China.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: He'll travel to Beijing, China, Shanghai and Chengdu from Saturday
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: and could have become compulsory to spend three hours.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: A day with your dog. That's next. Welcome back.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Joining me now is Suzi O'Brien from the Herald Sun
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: in Melbourne and Stevens Sennachi and Poe Radio two CC
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: host in Camber.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: Welcome to both of you. Now, it's been.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: A very big and very serious news day today, so
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: what better to start on than Prince Harry being relentlessly
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: mocked by a puppet.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: Let's take a look.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: It is a dog laugh well chachos.
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: Oh perads, you cracked me up, and not that sort
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: of crag obviously. I mean, not that I would have
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: or not that I wouldn't, but I just went like,
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: you made me laugh with or without stuff. You know,
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: nada will Chad Jel, that's your grease. I'm here to
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: tell my truth and toine money out to podcasting as
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: I don't have any discernible talent.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: Susie.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: It was very funny, and I mean not exactly undeserved.
• 40:11
  Speaker 24: Oh look, come on, I think we should leave the
• 40:13
  Speaker 24: Global Humanitarians alone. I mean they didn't you hear them?
• 40:16
  Speaker 24: Plea for privacy and now million dollar Netflix podcast.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know.
• 40:22
  Speaker 24: Harry's talking in this, I mean it's a very very
• 40:24
  Speaker 24: funny clip. He's talking about how he's going to get
• 40:26
  Speaker 24: an accountability coach because he wants to be more open
• 40:30
  Speaker 24: and transparent, and.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: Then he goes, oh my god, just don't tell Meghan.
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: I don't think I've told her.
• 40:34
  Speaker 24: Yet, so well, yes, I think this pair deserve.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Everything they get. Really honestly, don't they. Oh they do, Steven.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: It just gets worse and worse for Harry and Meghan
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: though they're truly just a punchline now and this proves it.
• 40:49
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 40:50
  Speaker 17: Look, I think it's a little bit sad, particularly the
• 40:53
  Speaker 17: line where I've got no discernible talent, because the reality
• 40:55
  Speaker 17: is that Harry, he's a great soldier and a great
• 40:58
  Speaker 17: military man, and the work that he's done with the
• 41:00
  Speaker 17: Invictors Games, I think he has been absolutely fantastic. But since
• 41:03
  Speaker 17: he decided to become the Duke of Montecito, it's all
• 41:06
  Speaker 17: gone downhill from there. And you know, you've got a
• 41:09
  Speaker 17: copy on the chin. I mean, if you live in
• 41:11
  Speaker 17: the public life, you know. And he keeps saying that
• 41:13
  Speaker 17: he wants privacy, but he keeps putting himself out there.
• 41:15
  Speaker 17: This is the kind of thing that happens.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, they only do it to themselves, don't they.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: An And you're right, he had done some great work
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: for veterans. But really I think the turning point was Megan.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: I have to say, look back here at Home, Premier
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: just into Alan is flashing out the details of her
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: new anti hate task force after Friday's disgraceful anti Smitic attacks.
• 41:40
  Speaker 25: We are seeing too much hate, too much hate anti Semitism,
• 41:44
  Speaker 25: but hatred against other groups. We need to crack down
• 41:48
  Speaker 25: on this, but we need to also do it in
• 41:50
  Speaker 25: a way that understands that we have such a strength
• 41:54
  Speaker 25: in our multicultural, multi face society here in Victoria.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Susie, this is your home city or home stage. Is
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: this task force enough?
• 42:05
  Speaker 11: Well?
• 42:05
  Speaker 24: You wonder why it's taken so long to get to
• 42:07
  Speaker 24: this point. I mean, this is certainly not the only
• 42:09
  Speaker 24: weekend of anti Semitic attacks we've had in Victoria. I mean,
• 42:12
  Speaker 24: we saw on Friday just an awful at a fire
• 42:15
  Speaker 24: at a synagogue where twenty people had to go run
• 42:19
  Speaker 24: for their lives essentially. Also, also on the weekend, we
• 42:25
  Speaker 24: had some people attacked at a Israeli owned restaurant.
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: And these are people.
• 42:31
  Speaker 24: I mean, when it gets to the point where people
• 42:33
  Speaker 24: are just sitting there having dinner on a Friday night
• 42:36
  Speaker 24: and people are breaking windows and knocking over tables, you
• 42:40
  Speaker 24: would have to say that the Jewish people in this
• 42:43
  Speaker 24: town do not feel safe, and that's what they've been
• 42:45
  Speaker 24: saying for a long time. So this is a good thing,
• 42:48
  Speaker 24: but long overdue.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: I would say, yeah, I mean they've been saying it,
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: You're right for a long time.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: It's been almost two.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: Years now of this across Melbourne and Sydney in particular. Steven,
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: what do you think it's going to hate to tackle
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: this crisis? We heard today Tony Abbott say we need
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: to ban these protests.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: Would you be on board with that?
• 43:08
  Speaker 11: Yeah?
• 43:08
  Speaker 17: Absolutely, I mean we've got to use the laws that
• 43:10
  Speaker 17: are available to us. The point the problem with this
• 43:12
  Speaker 17: task force is when you look at the detail, there's
• 43:14
  Speaker 17: just going to be a bunch of people sitting around
• 43:16
  Speaker 17: once in a while having a coffee. I mean they
• 43:18
  Speaker 17: don't need to actually examine what the problem is here.
• 43:20
  Speaker 17: We know what the problem is. We've got a bunch
• 43:22
  Speaker 17: of anti Semitic thugs out on the streets of major
• 43:25
  Speaker 17: cities in Australia and they're not being arrested. Now, we
• 43:28
  Speaker 17: need to let the police do their job. We need
• 43:30
  Speaker 17: to take the shackles off our law enforcement, stop them
• 43:33
  Speaker 17: from or stop holding them back. And when we have
• 43:36
  Speaker 17: people in the streets chanting for death, they need to
• 43:39
  Speaker 17: be arrested. These protests need to be shut down and
• 43:42
  Speaker 17: this task force I think is unnecessary because the laws
• 43:45
  Speaker 17: and the response the responses are already there, we're just
• 43:47
  Speaker 17: not doing them because we've got governments like the Allen government.
• 43:50
  Speaker 17: We've got merely mouthed responses from the federal government. The
• 43:53
  Speaker 17: New South Wales government's not much better either, and then
• 43:56
  Speaker 17: we have even in a statement there it's oh we've
• 43:58
  Speaker 17: got too much hate, oh in a bit of any
• 43:59
  Speaker 17: semism as well. I mean they can't even be equivocal
• 44:03
  Speaker 17: about their condemnation of it. They've got to be merely
• 44:06
  Speaker 17: mouthed every time they front a camera. That's got to stop.
• 44:09
  Speaker 17: We need some leadership.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no more platitudes, just get on with it. I
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: do note that I've read a report just before coming
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: on that three people have now been charged over the
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: protest at miss Non restaurant. So that's promising news. But
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: we'll see what happens with them. Look, let's move on now,
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: and we're getting more concrete details about Albanese's trip, his
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: second in two years, to China. He's going to Beijing,
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: Shanghai and Chengdu from Saturday. But the denials that he's
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: prioritizing China over the relationship with the US.
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: Continue.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Is he prioritizing Beijing over Washington?
• 44:51
  Speaker 13: Bearing in mind that he's met shooting being more than
• 44:53
  Speaker 13: Donald Trump.
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: Not at all.
• 44:57
  Speaker 7: We're acting as a government that's responsible and acting in
• 45:00
  Speaker 7: the best interests of Australians. China's our largest trading partner,
• 45:06
  Speaker 7: so of course we're going to seek to ensure that
• 45:10
  Speaker 7: we strengthen the markets that Australian goods can access.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: Susie.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: No meeting with Trump, not even a phone call since
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: the threat of looming tariffs was raised.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: Yet he's off to Beijing to be a handsome boy.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: Yet again. Well, it's interesting. I'm pretty sure he'd meet
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: with Trump.
• 45:30
  Speaker 24: If Trump picks up the phone, he will be there
• 45:32
  Speaker 24: in a flash. It's probably not his doing that he's
• 45:35
  Speaker 24: not meeting with him.
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: He's probably just.
• 45:37
  Speaker 24: Not at the top of the list of priorities. This
• 45:39
  Speaker 24: China trip is very important though. It's the first since
• 45:43
  Speaker 24: the much more civilized relationship between our two countries, and
• 45:46
  Speaker 24: of course biggest trading partner, twenty five percent of our
• 45:50
  Speaker 24: inputs and all the good stuff you know, like bali, lobsters, wine.
• 45:56
  Speaker 24: So this is a really really important trip. But you know,
• 45:59
  Speaker 24: the government as always has to kind of tread a
• 46:01
  Speaker 24: very fine line with China. I mean China really wants
• 46:04
  Speaker 24: to see non interference from Australia and they have been
• 46:09
  Speaker 24: very clear about that, although of course they call it
• 46:11
  Speaker 24: pursuing our common destiny. So that's just the typical sort
• 46:15
  Speaker 24: of language that we get from that government. But you know,
• 46:19
  Speaker 24: this is a very key Trump or no Trump, this
• 46:21
  Speaker 24: is a very key meeting.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: Indeed, just quickly steven a fascinating story out of your state.
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: Under proposed laws there, pet owners would.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: Be legally required to spend at least three hours a
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: day with their dog, compulsory dog hours.
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: Where does this come from to.
• 46:40
  Speaker 17: Well, here in the left wing utopia of Canberra, we've
• 46:43
  Speaker 17: got a government that has handed down the worst budget
• 46:45
  Speaker 17: in its history. And that's a high barta set too,
• 46:48
  Speaker 17: let me tell you. And they need every distraction they can.
• 46:50
  Speaker 17: So they've issued a draft proposal for welfare of animals
• 46:54
  Speaker 17: and if you own a dog, they're going to try
• 46:56
  Speaker 17: and mandate that you have to spend at least three
• 46:57
  Speaker 17: hours a day with Fido, whether he likes it or not.
• 47:01
  Speaker 17: How they going to police this, I don't know. We're
• 47:02
  Speaker 17: gonna have people going and peering through people's windows to
• 47:05
  Speaker 17: make sure that they're on the couch cuddling with their dogs.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: Moderate extra Stephen, I've got to cut you off there now.
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: That's all the time we've got for tonight. Stay tuned.
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: Peter Kradlin is up next.
