Speaker 1: Lately the general.
0:02
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Late Bay.
0:07
Speaker 3: Well, thanks for joining us on this historic night. I'm
0:10
Speaker 3: James Macpherson with Liz Storer and Caleb Bond.
0:13
Speaker 2: Well, against all odds, I.
0:15
Speaker 3: Mean, they tried to bankrupt him, they tried to jail him,
0:18
Speaker 3: they even tried to kill him, not once, but twice,
0:20
Speaker 3: and yet Donald Trump has been elected the forty seventh
0:24
Speaker 3: president of the United States. I can imagine those on
0:28
Speaker 3: the left have already started epic meltdowns. Will bring you
0:32
Speaker 3: some of the hilarious hysteria in just a moment. But
0:36
Speaker 3: of course, Trump not only won the electoral College, he
0:39
Speaker 3: also won the popular votes. So for all those who
0:42
Speaker 3: were upset by the result, there were far more who
0:45
Speaker 3: were thrilled when the announcement came through. That's not exactly
1:08
Speaker 3: the way the result was communicated, but you get the idea.
1:11
Speaker 3: And now we're going to go live to the US
1:12
Speaker 3: in just a moment. But first, Caleb, you're getting into
1:15
Speaker 3: the spirit of the evening.
1:16
Speaker 4: Mate, why not? What a time to be alive? What
1:20
Speaker 4: a day in history. Seriously, if of all the days
1:25
Speaker 4: to celebrate, this is absolutely one of them. Because you
1:28
Speaker 4: know what, like the left said, like Oprah Winfrey. All
1:31
Speaker 4: these people are saying democracy was on the ballot, and
1:34
Speaker 4: you know what, Americans chose democracy today and I love it.
1:39
Speaker 2: And Liz, of course, you are very very happy with
1:41
Speaker 2: this result.
1:42
Speaker 5: This is every Christmas, every Birthday rolled into one and
1:47
Speaker 5: presented with a bow. But I've got to say, my
1:50
Speaker 5: Trump hat dates back to twenty twenty.
1:54
Speaker 6: You're new to the fault.
1:56
Speaker 5: I've had more people spit in my coffee.
1:58
Speaker 2: Shopped on the last moment. Unbelievable.
2:01
Speaker 3: All right, let's go live to the US where our
2:04
Speaker 3: guest is political commentator Stephen Hendrix, who's a former public
2:08
Speaker 3: official and diplomat with the Obama, the Trump and the
2:11
Speaker 3: Biden administrations. Stephen, thanks so much for joining us tonight.
2:16
Speaker 3: I just want to get a sense from you. I mean,
2:18
Speaker 3: this is no ordinary election result, is it. Many people
2:22
Speaker 3: are saying this is perhaps the most incredible political comeback
2:27
Speaker 3: of all time. Is that exaggeration or is that pretty accurate?
2:32
Speaker 1: Well, I think we were on a knife sedge fifty
2:34
Speaker 1: to fifty for a number of months. This could have
2:37
Speaker 1: gone either way. And when the Biden campaign, when Joe
2:44
Speaker 1: Biden had his presidential debate that was so disastrous I
2:50
Speaker 1: think the Democrats did. They scrambled, they substituted candidates, and
2:57
Speaker 1: they made a run for it. But you really have
2:59
Speaker 1: to chip your hat to Donald Trump. He came through tonight.
3:02
Speaker 4: How much of this do you think comes down to
3:04
Speaker 4: those shy Trump voters? Because, of course, as we were
3:08
Speaker 4: talking about I was talking to you on Sunday night,
3:10
Speaker 4: you know, the polling was showing that things were very close,
3:13
Speaker 4: but it was all within the margin of era. The
3:15
Speaker 4: result you've seen today winning not only the electoral College
3:20
Speaker 4: but the popular vote, which is of course not even
3:23
Speaker 4: what happened to Trump in twenty sixteen. How much of
3:26
Speaker 4: that comes down to people who perhaps weren't open about
3:30
Speaker 4: the fact they were going to support Trump, but when
3:32
Speaker 4: push came to shout, they thought, no, I have to
3:35
Speaker 4: do my bid for the country.
3:37
Speaker 1: Well, the shy Trump voter was a theory in the
3:42
Speaker 1: Hillary campaign, and it came about because the pollsters theorized
3:49
Speaker 1: after the fact that people might have been embarrassed to
3:52
Speaker 1: say that they were supporting him because of racist ideology,
3:56
Speaker 1: because of whatever, and that they came out. I think
4:00
Speaker 1: this time around, people weren't shy about their support for him.
4:05
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure it was the shy voter. I
4:09
Speaker 1: think partly it was that Kamala Harris was the candidate
4:14
Speaker 1: of the status quo. Her campaign slogan were not going back.
4:18
Speaker 1: But Trump was the candidate of change. And I think
4:23
Speaker 1: a lot of the voters saw that the economy was
4:27
Speaker 1: not where they want they wanted it to be. Inflation
4:29
Speaker 1: was too high, gas prices, the grocery bill, the malaise
4:36
Speaker 1: on the southern border, of the immigration issues. They wanted
4:41
Speaker 1: to see some change and they came through. In particular,
4:46
Speaker 1: it was the Latino vote that really came through and
4:49
Speaker 1: the youth vote that really came through. For President Trump.
4:52
Speaker 1: You have to tip your hat to his organization and
4:55
Speaker 1: to the grassroots organizations that he brought together in a
5:00
Speaker 1: coalition to drive this home. Kudos to his team. Whatever
5:05
Speaker 1: side of the debate you're on, you have to tip
5:08
Speaker 1: your hat to the guy that came up with a
5:10
Speaker 1: successful campaign. And this was a victory for all Americans
5:15
Speaker 1: in that we went to the polls, we voted, We
5:19
Speaker 1: have a result, and congratulations to the.
5:23
Speaker 5: Winner, Stephen, Congrats on once again being in a red state.
5:28
Speaker 5: About twenty minutes before we came to air, Wisconsin was
5:31
Speaker 5: called for Trump. You were blue yesterday, you read today.
5:35
Speaker 5: I'm sure you can still feel the equality of life
5:38
Speaker 5: just going through the roof as that announcement took place.
5:41
Speaker 5: But what's the vibe like there on the ground. Obviously,
5:45
Speaker 5: Wisconsin is more historically a blue leaning state. Have you
5:49
Speaker 5: begun to see the Democrat melt down there in Wisconsin?
5:55
Speaker 1: Well, writes previous, a former chief of staff for President
5:59
Speaker 1: Trump from Wisconsin. Tommy Thompson, our famous Republican governor here.
6:07
Speaker 1: So we've had a long line of great tradition on
6:14
Speaker 1: both sides. The Republican Party began in Rippon, Wisconsin. But
6:20
Speaker 1: we also have the long tradition of the progressive movements
6:23
Speaker 1: which inspired Teddy Roosevelt and others. So this is a
6:28
Speaker 1: very political state. It has great traditions on both sides.
6:34
Speaker 1: I think the mood in the state is it's five
6:37
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning and most people are asleep. When
6:42
Speaker 1: the polls closed last night. Here in Wapaca, Wisconsin, we
6:49
Speaker 1: as a community we went to an ecumenical church service
6:54
Speaker 1: at the local Episcopal church and prayed for America and
6:59
Speaker 1: our leader ship. At that time we did not know
7:02
Speaker 1: who it would be, but as a community, Republicans Democrats,
7:06
Speaker 1: we still got together and prayed for the well being
7:10
Speaker 1: of our country.
7:12
Speaker 3: Steve, and I have to ask you, how are the
7:13
Speaker 3: Democrats going to explain this result? Because for months now
7:17
Speaker 3: they've told us Trump is Hitler, and yet it seems
7:20
Speaker 3: like Hitler increased his share of the Jewish vote, the
7:23
Speaker 3: Black vote, and the minority vote.
7:25
Speaker 2: How did the Democrats explain that?
7:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's going to be some recriminations and
7:31
Speaker 1: soul searching in the DNC for some time now. We
7:35
Speaker 1: got into our country, got into this situation by with
7:41
Speaker 1: Joe Biden being the incumbent, and we really didn't have
7:44
Speaker 1: a open primary process. That will not be the case
7:49
Speaker 1: for you from now. The Democrats will have an open
7:52
Speaker 1: field and on the Republican side, I suspect the same
7:58
Speaker 1: because Trump will have exhausted is two terms of office,
8:03
Speaker 1: and so I think this will be an interesting time
8:07
Speaker 1: for both parties to come up with a new set
8:10
Speaker 1: of candidates for four years from now. But that's a
8:13
Speaker 1: long time in the future. Right now, I think we
8:17
Speaker 1: savor the moment. This was a civic party, if you will,
8:23
Speaker 1: a time for all Americans to come together at the
8:25
Speaker 1: polling stations. When I went to vote, I saw my
8:29
Speaker 1: neighbors and friends in line voting from both parties. We
8:33
Speaker 1: all shook hands, we talked a little bit as we
8:37
Speaker 1: were waiting in line. And it's a magic moment in
8:41
Speaker 1: a democracy when we have that privilege, when.
8:44
Speaker 4: We talk about that minority votering. Harris Scott on the
8:48
Speaker 4: current numbers, fifty six percent of the Hispanic vote compared
8:51
Speaker 4: to sixty three percent for Biden. And you would have thought,
8:55
Speaker 4: you know, Donald Trump, the man who wants to stop
8:57
Speaker 4: people coming over the Mexican border, that they would have
9:00
Speaker 4: rushed to Harris. But of course that didn't happen. But
9:02
Speaker 4: I thought it was so interesting. Of Course Harris did
9:05
Speaker 4: not come out and address her crowd at HQ tonight
9:10
Speaker 4: or overnight your time, mercing someone else to say, sorry, lads,
9:15
Speaker 4: go home, we'll come back and have a conflag tomorrow.
9:18
Speaker 4: What was the strategy there? Did the Democrats actually think
9:23
Speaker 4: they were going to win and were so blindsided by
9:26
Speaker 4: the fact that it didn't happen that they didn't quite
9:30
Speaker 4: know how to react to the result.
9:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, there may be an element of that, but there
9:36
Speaker 1: also may be an element to the fact that it
9:39
Speaker 1: was late at night. You want to be on national television.
9:42
Speaker 1: You want to be able to speak to all Americans,
9:45
Speaker 1: and people in Wisconsin aren't bad at midnight, they're not
9:49
Speaker 1: watching their television. Also, remember, I think if you look
9:55
Speaker 1: back four years ago, the results were not announced till
9:58
Speaker 1: Friday or Saturday. So I don't think people really anticipated
10:03
Speaker 1: that the results would be out that same night. That
10:08
Speaker 1: wasn't the most likely scenario. And you want to have
10:13
Speaker 1: You also want to be able to thank your partisans
10:16
Speaker 1: who have worked so hard on your campaign and have
10:19
Speaker 1: them together in the room when you give a speech
10:22
Speaker 1: like that. This has to have been absolutely exhausting for
10:27
Speaker 1: both presidential and vice presidential candidates and their core staffs.
10:34
Speaker 1: Taking a few hours to go home, have a good
10:37
Speaker 1: night's sleep, and come and address the nation properly. That's fine.
10:43
Speaker 5: Stephen Trump now has ten thousand staffer positions to fill. Famously,
10:49
Speaker 5: in twenty sixteen, during the first Trump administration, he was
10:53
Speaker 5: an outsider. He wasn't supposed to win in the first place,
10:56
Speaker 5: and there was quite a scramble for him to feel
10:59
Speaker 5: those saints.
11:01
Speaker 6: Where's the sense.
11:02
Speaker 5: That you get the majority of those will be filled
11:06
Speaker 5: by now? I imagine most of them are already spoken for,
11:11
Speaker 5: carved up by the power brokers.
11:14
Speaker 1: Well, you're right. In twenty sixteen, I think there was
11:18
Speaker 1: a very different approach. Trump did bring in quite a
11:22
Speaker 1: few loyalists that filled the ranks of those positions, but
11:29
Speaker 1: particularly at Defense, at State, some of those other key
11:32
Speaker 1: national security positions. He tried to bring in really grandees
11:37
Speaker 1: of the party, and that in the end didn't work
11:40
Speaker 1: for him. He ended up cleaning house on a lot
11:44
Speaker 1: of those positions. I suspect this time he'll have more
11:47
Speaker 1: settled loyalists with experience from the prior campaign. Also, you
11:52
Speaker 1: have organizations like the Heritage Foundation that have been vetting candidates. Now.
11:58
Speaker 1: I know that Trump is disavowed the Project twenty twenty five.
12:03
Speaker 1: That was probably good politics for the campaign, but ged
12:08
Speaker 1: Vance was one of the authors of that. So obviously
12:12
Speaker 1: the party and the team around him was very much
12:16
Speaker 1: involved with the Heritage Foundation in Project twenty twenty five,
12:20
Speaker 1: and that vetting process for thousands of candidates has been
12:25
Speaker 1: ongoing for some time.
12:28
Speaker 3: Well, Stephen Hendrix, I know it's very early in the
12:30
Speaker 3: morning there. We really appreciate you joining us here tonight
12:33
Speaker 3: our time. Thanks so much for your insights. Well, I reckon,
12:37
Speaker 3: we should have a look at the meltdowns because it's
12:40
Speaker 3: already begun. And why do we start with CNN. This
12:44
Speaker 3: made me laugh when I saw this. You know, the
12:46
Speaker 3: problem wasn't policy, It wasn't millions of people coming across
12:51
Speaker 3: the southern border. The problem for Kamala Harris is well,
12:54
Speaker 3: Americans just didn't know her well enough.
12:57
Speaker 2: I have to listen to this.
12:58
Speaker 6: Donald Trump hasn't runing for two years.
13:01
Speaker 7: Kamla Harris has been running for one hundred and seventy
13:03
Speaker 7: one hundred and seven days.
13:05
Speaker 6: So one of my.
13:06
Speaker 7: Big questions is, particularly with her candidacy, is whether that
13:11
Speaker 7: was just enough time to introduce herself to the country
13:16
Speaker 7: and to candidates who weren't so on running voting for
13:20
Speaker 7: a Democrat, weren't so sure about him, or whether she
13:23
Speaker 7: could have used a little bit more time.
13:27
Speaker 2: Guys, I had to laugh at this.
13:28
Speaker 3: I mean, she'd been vice president for four years, but
13:31
Speaker 3: even more than that, she could have gone for three
13:34
Speaker 3: hours on Joe Rogan and introduced herself and people could
13:37
Speaker 3: have known all about her. But she preferred a ninety
13:40
Speaker 3: second skit on Saturday Night Live. She avoided every opportunity
13:44
Speaker 3: for the American people to get to know her.
13:46
Speaker 5: And we saw this during the Fox interview that she
13:50
Speaker 5: did with Brett Bayer where he got to the very
13:52
Speaker 5: end of it, one of the only long form sit
13:55
Speaker 5: down interviews that she did, and he said to her,
13:58
Speaker 5: I would have really loved him more about you. You've
14:02
Speaker 5: just talked about Trump the entire time. But of course
14:06
Speaker 5: CNN is already very busy trying to come up with excuses.
14:11
Speaker 5: It's not that her policy platform was non existent and
14:14
Speaker 5: she always just kept referring people to a website saying
14:18
Speaker 5: I've got over eighty pages of policy for you to
14:20
Speaker 5: read there. It's not that she has barely a single
14:24
Speaker 5: firing neuron, and it's very obvious every time.
14:26
Speaker 6: She does open up her mouth.
14:28
Speaker 5: It's not like every single time she speaks at a
14:31
Speaker 5: ratie it is rally. It is copy paste what she
14:34
Speaker 5: said the last time and the time before that, and
14:37
Speaker 5: even mainstream media's traditionally on side for the Dems, has
14:41
Speaker 5: been pulling her up. It's not got anything to do
14:44
Speaker 5: with that. It's that people didn't have enough time to
14:48
Speaker 5: find out who Kamala truly was, and if they'd only.
14:51
Speaker 6: Known, she would have could have should have won, Kayla.
14:55
Speaker 4: You know, she's not like she was vice president for
14:58
Speaker 4: nearly for you. And the funniest part about all of
15:02
Speaker 4: this is odd, you know, did she have enough time
15:04
Speaker 4: to introduce herself to the electorate. Is that if they
15:07
Speaker 4: had done this properly, that is, get rid of Biden
15:11
Speaker 4: before the DNC, long before the DNC, and gone through
15:15
Speaker 4: a primary process.
15:18
Speaker 2: The candidate.
15:18
Speaker 3: So so you say, if they had known her, she
15:22
Speaker 3: would have done even worse.
15:23
Speaker 4: Exactly exactly she would have not had in the change.
15:26
Speaker 6: Did you know her? She didn't get a single vote twenty.
15:30
Speaker 4: Precisely, she dropped out so early in the race and
15:33
Speaker 4: then basically guilted Joe Biden into saying that she should
15:36
Speaker 4: be VP because she acused him of being racist. But
15:38
Speaker 4: you mentioned CNN Jake Tapper, of course, you'll remember from
15:42
Speaker 4: the first debate with Biden and Trump have listened to
15:46
Speaker 4: him reacting to the news that Kamala Harris outperformed Joe
15:52
Speaker 4: Biden in zero states. Apparently we don't have that to
15:56
Speaker 4: grab for you just yet. But he was asked, all
15:58
Speaker 4: they bring up the map, right, and they're going through
16:01
Speaker 4: every county in the United States that has where Kamala
16:05
Speaker 4: Harris has outperformed Joe Biden, and literally, I think we've
16:09
Speaker 4: got the grab for you. Now take a look.
16:13
Speaker 8: Are there any places that the vice president is overperforming
16:16
Speaker 8: Joe Biden in twenty twenty, So we could show you
16:17
Speaker 8: that as well.
16:18
Speaker 6: We just bring that out here. Harris overperforming twenty twenty.
16:21
Speaker 1: Holy smokes, there you go.
16:23
Speaker 6: So let this go away and see if there's anything in.
16:25
Speaker 2: The East Side.
16:25
Speaker 3: There literally nothing, literally nothing, literally not one county by
16:30
Speaker 3: three percent or more.
16:32
Speaker 4: Imagine his shot literally nothing. No, Lively can't believe it.
16:38
Speaker 2: He can't believe it.
16:39
Speaker 4: Maybe Joe Biden could have won this election.
16:41
Speaker 2: But see it in so love the Democrats.
16:43
Speaker 3: That surely slipped out of his mouth before he realized
16:46
Speaker 3: what he was saying.
16:47
Speaker 2: That that was smoked.
16:49
Speaker 6: There was a genuine inflammation.
16:51
Speaker 2: He couldn't help him exactly.
16:53
Speaker 5: But check out these Democratic strategists and names. Asha Mills
16:57
Speaker 5: once again on regime media, saying, well, of course Trump's
17:01
Speaker 5: playbook one, because this is how evil it is.
17:05
Speaker 6: He's just fool people.
17:08
Speaker 8: You're talking about the propaganda campaign and the playbook of Trump.
17:12
Speaker 8: This is not new, this is not surprising. This is
17:15
Speaker 8: directly out of Hitler's playbook. This is out of an
17:18
Speaker 8: Autocrat playbook.
17:21
Speaker 5: And as a Democratic strategist, how's your strategy going, Asia?
17:26
Speaker 6: I mean, they.
17:26
Speaker 5: Still can't admit maybe this guy gave a voice to
17:31
Speaker 5: the disenfranchise. Maybe this guy kept batting it out of
17:36
Speaker 5: the park where the Democrats simply spoke about abortion, endlessly,
17:40
Speaker 5: told a pile of lies about how they're going to
17:42
Speaker 5: clean up immigration, going to build a wall on the border,
17:45
Speaker 5: all these nonsense things that people knew. You haven't done
17:49
Speaker 5: anything in four years. You're not going to do anything now.
17:51
Speaker 5: Trump speaks to what mensies here in Australia called the
17:55
Speaker 5: forgotten people, and those even those who hated him back
17:59
Speaker 5: in the day, remember that life was better under Trump.
18:04
Speaker 5: What we saw today in this red wave wasn't necessarily
18:07
Speaker 5: an Antikamala wave. I've seen so many different testimonials from people.
18:12
Speaker 6: Saying I don't like Trump as a person.
18:15
Speaker 5: I actually despise the guy that I am voting for
18:18
Speaker 5: him because my quality of life has deteriorated so significantly
18:24
Speaker 5: over the last four years. This is what I'm doing now.
18:27
Speaker 5: I feel like I have no choice left.
18:29
Speaker 4: And that was her problem. I think ultimately is that
18:31
Speaker 4: she tried to say that, you know, she was the
18:34
Speaker 4: new face of the Democrats, but being the VP, and
18:37
Speaker 4: I think the Dems will come to rue the day
18:40
Speaker 4: that they ever thought she would be the right person
18:42
Speaker 4: to put up for the job. Obviously they did it
18:44
Speaker 4: because they thought of all the people they could have
18:46
Speaker 4: put forward, she probably did have the most brand recognition
18:49
Speaker 4: available to them, but she was inextricably linked to Biden.
18:53
Speaker 4: I mean what you saw today was a repudiation of Bidenomics.
18:57
Speaker 4: It didn't work. People know it didn't work because they wallets,
19:00
Speaker 4: they look at their power bills. They know how they're
19:02
Speaker 4: doing now compared to four years ago and how they
19:05
Speaker 4: did under Trump up to eight years ago. That's what
19:08
Speaker 4: they voted against today. And Kamala could not get away
19:11
Speaker 4: from that, like she was Biden with a black female
19:16
Speaker 4: fight space.
19:16
Speaker 2: But I mean back to that grab we showed.
19:18
Speaker 3: For Democrats strategists to fall back on the Hitler story.
19:22
Speaker 6: It's done right after the election.
19:24
Speaker 2: I mean that's just shameless.
19:26
Speaker 3: And right through the election they were telling us, you know,
19:29
Speaker 3: Trump is a threat to our democracy, and someone very
19:32
Speaker 3: cleverly used AI to change all these news reports where
19:36
Speaker 3: instead of them saying our democracy through AI, they were
19:39
Speaker 3: made to say what we all knew. They really meant,
19:41
Speaker 3: our bureaucracy. It changes everything when you see it from
19:44
Speaker 3: that point of view.
19:44
Speaker 2: Have a listen.
19:46
Speaker 8: If the Democrats fail, it might be the end of
19:48
Speaker 8: American bureaucracy.
19:49
Speaker 6: Our bureaucracy really is in fundamental peril.
19:52
Speaker 7: The foundations of American bureaucracy under attack.
19:55
Speaker 6: They want to destroy our bureaucracy. We are a bureaucracy
19:59
Speaker 6: and danger.
20:00
Speaker 5: Watching an election where people are on the ballot openly
20:03
Speaker 5: advocating the end of bureaucracy.
20:05
Speaker 1: That's what Republicans are doing, attacking bureaucracy.
20:09
Speaker 3: I love that so much because they were saying our democracy, but.
20:13
Speaker 2: We were all hearing your bureaucracy.
20:15
Speaker 3: We knew exactly what was happening, and people voted accordingly, Liz.
20:19
Speaker 5: And scenes of tiery Democrats across the country was replicated
20:25
Speaker 5: at each and every watch party.
20:27
Speaker 6: They have.
20:28
Speaker 5: These watch parties they get together. It's supposed to turn
20:31
Speaker 5: into a party as you see your candidate obviously raking
20:35
Speaker 5: in the votes in each of the seats, and you're
20:37
Speaker 5: celebrating each winners at unfolds. Check out some of this
20:41
Speaker 5: footage of these completely deflated people as instead of the
20:46
Speaker 5: joy has.
20:47
Speaker 6: Left the building.
20:48
Speaker 5: Ladies and gentlemen, look at the despondency as the realization
20:52
Speaker 5: grows amongst the Democratic voting masses, we have actually not
20:58
Speaker 5: only lost this but by a landslide. Even the most
21:03
Speaker 5: avid Trump fan never saw such a comprehensive win coming.
21:09
Speaker 5: We've talked about the red wave. It finally arrived. But
21:13
Speaker 5: of course you're always going to have certain very passionate
21:17
Speaker 5: Harris Waltz fans that are completely losing their minds to
21:21
Speaker 5: learn that they have woken up in a new Trump presidency.
21:26
Speaker 5: But when it comes to guys who simply can't handle
21:29
Speaker 5: this fact, I think this fella takes the cake.
21:35
Speaker 2: Okay, you're gonna win this good day of Jesus Christ.
21:40
Speaker 4: I'm shake missed off.
21:43
Speaker 6: God damn it. Cry harder, Liberals, ry harder.
21:51
Speaker 5: You've met the forty seventh President of the United States
21:54
Speaker 5: of America and he's going to make America greater for
21:57
Speaker 5: you too.
21:58
Speaker 6: But you've got to love it.
21:59
Speaker 5: These scenes. We're gonna have countless scenes. We could probably
22:02
Speaker 5: do an hour long show just of the meltdown that
22:06
Speaker 5: is going to follow on the dawn of tomorrow.
22:08
Speaker 4: When I find out whoever removed the tissue box that
22:11
Speaker 4: usually sits next to me here at the desk, I'm
22:13
Speaker 4: going to give him a slap across the chops, because
22:15
Speaker 4: you know, I just want to pull about my eyes
22:18
Speaker 4: off for these poor people. And because it's not just
22:21
Speaker 4: in the United statey No, No, it's here at home.
22:25
Speaker 4: I mean, in fact, in some cases it's even worse
22:27
Speaker 4: here in Australia because because Australians are obviously just some
22:31
Speaker 4: to be removed from what's going on in the US.
22:33
Speaker 4: A lot of people don't actually understand why Trump wins, right,
22:37
Speaker 4: I mean they just look at go the Orange Man
22:39
Speaker 4: bad and they hear the hitless stuff and whatever, and
22:41
Speaker 4: they're literally like, what is wrong with America? Are they
22:44
Speaker 4: all crazy over there? How could they possibly vote for
22:46
Speaker 4: Donald Trump? Because they're not living through what Americans are
22:49
Speaker 4: living through our own. Adam Bant, the leader of the Greens,
22:52
Speaker 4: I mean, he is just off the reservation. Haven't listened
22:56
Speaker 4: to what he tweeted. He said, my heart is with
22:59
Speaker 4: every person in the USA and around the world who
23:02
Speaker 4: feels justifiable terror. Tonight, hold your luck ones close. Tomorrow
23:09
Speaker 4: we pick ourselves up and we continue the fight hate
23:13
Speaker 4: will not win. Hold your loved ones close, as though
23:17
Speaker 4: they're now under some sort of existential threat. Because Donald
23:21
Speaker 4: Trump has been elected, and we talked about democracies on
23:25
Speaker 4: the ballot, how was this one from the Sydney Morning Herald.
23:28
Speaker 4: Peter Harpscher wrote to this column. The headline says, if
23:33
Speaker 4: George Washington was the father of America's democracy, donald Trump
23:38
Speaker 4: is its undertaker. Hang, okay, let's just go back a
23:42
Speaker 4: few steps. Donald Trump just won in near enough to
23:48
Speaker 4: a landslide, a democratic election. He won the electoral college vote,
23:54
Speaker 4: and he won the popular vote. So the dude who
23:57
Speaker 4: was democratically chosen by his power, unlike Kamala Harris, I mean,
24:02
Speaker 4: democratically elected by his nation, is now going to be
24:06
Speaker 4: the undertaker of democracy. Make it make sense?
24:09
Speaker 3: It makes no sense. It never does when it's coming
24:11
Speaker 3: from the left. But you mentioned Adam Bant saying hold
24:14
Speaker 3: your loved one's close because it's such a terrifying result.
24:19
Speaker 6: Fiably terrified.
24:20
Speaker 3: He's nott the only one with scared children. Get a
24:22
Speaker 3: load of this tweet from Christina Applegate, the actress. She's
24:25
Speaker 3: got a thirteen year old daughter. Just bear that in
24:27
Speaker 3: mind when I read this tweet. Her daughter is thirteen
24:29
Speaker 3: years old. She tweeted, why give me your reasons why
24:33
Speaker 3: my child is sobbing because her rights as a woman
24:37
Speaker 3: may be taken away? Why and if you disagree, please
24:40
Speaker 3: unfollow me. She's referring that to abortion rights. Is she
24:45
Speaker 3: not thirteen year old? Is sobbing because her thirteen year
24:49
Speaker 3: old may not be able to have an abortion in
24:51
Speaker 3: the future, and based on.
24:52
Speaker 5: An absolute lie because Trump has repeatedly said that is
24:55
Speaker 5: a state matter. The Feds have got nothing to do
24:58
Speaker 5: with it. Why you're looking at me when it comes
25:01
Speaker 5: to the subject of abortion, period.
25:03
Speaker 6: But it gets funnier. Jill Biden, who until.
25:07
Speaker 5: Today was flotus, was the first.
25:10
Speaker 6: Lady of America.
25:12
Speaker 5: War read to go and vote, Jill war or read
25:17
Speaker 5: to vote as the wife of a Democrat politician. Well,
25:20
Speaker 5: he's actually president. There's no way she doesn't know how
25:23
Speaker 5: this looks. Biden and Jill are pissed. It's, as we've
25:28
Speaker 5: noted several times now, it certainly looks like the current
25:32
Speaker 5: president n first lady.
25:35
Speaker 6: We're actually batting for Team Trump.
25:37
Speaker 5: Every time Biden came out on the campaign trail, he
25:40
Speaker 5: said something completely ridiculous to suck the oxygen out of.
25:43
Speaker 6: What Kamala was trying to do at the time.
25:46
Speaker 5: He absolutely ruled and ranged to the point that we
25:49
Speaker 5: haven't seen him since Saturday. Where is the President of
25:52
Speaker 5: the United States of America.
25:54
Speaker 6: Nobody knows.
25:55
Speaker 5: They've chofed him off, not to be heard from again
25:58
Speaker 5: even on the campaign.
25:58
Speaker 4: Drail be at Harris's HQ. I mean, what does that
26:03
Speaker 4: tell you? Looks was there. President would need.
26:06
Speaker 3: Class And like I said, Jill Biden got dressed this morning,
26:09
Speaker 3: she knew exactly what she was doing.
26:11
Speaker 2: We're going to take a break when we come back.
26:13
Speaker 3: Some big news in Australia, particularly around the government's detainee policy.
26:18
Speaker 3: It's an absolute mess after a new High Court ruling.
26:21
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that in just a moment. Welcome back.
26:26
Speaker 3: We'll get some more response and reaction from the US
26:30
Speaker 3: a little later. But there's some big news locally, primarily
26:33
Speaker 3: around the government's failed non citizen detainee policy. You remember
26:38
Speaker 3: some time ago two hundred and fifteen detainees were released
26:41
Speaker 3: from detention after the High Court rule they could not
26:44
Speaker 3: be held indefinitely. Now, the government responded to community concerns
26:49
Speaker 3: about safety by insisting that detainees should have ankle bracelets
26:53
Speaker 3: so they could be tracked and should be subject to curfews.
26:56
Speaker 3: That gave some comfort to the community, though, and then
27:00
Speaker 3: there were all sorts of problems around those ankle bracelets.
27:02
Speaker 2: Some had them, some didn't, etc. Et cetera. Now the
27:06
Speaker 2: High Court has ruled.
27:07
Speaker 3: Its unconstitutional for the government to insist detainees wear ankle
27:12
Speaker 3: bracelets or be subject to curfews, because it's the job
27:16
Speaker 3: of a court, not the government, to impose punishment on people.
27:21
Speaker 2: So now the government are.
27:23
Speaker 3: Rushing to create new legislation to try and deal with this.
27:27
Speaker 3: Bear in mind, back in December, they rushed legislation through
27:32
Speaker 3: parliament preventative detention, they called it, so that they could
27:36
Speaker 3: put many of these people back into detention to keep
27:40
Speaker 3: the community safe. And we find out they've not used
27:43
Speaker 3: those laws even once to put one of these people. Remember,
27:46
Speaker 3: some of them were sex offenders, some of them were murderers,
27:50
Speaker 3: some of them had committed kidnappings and bombings. Not a
27:53
Speaker 3: single one has been placed back into detention, despite the
27:57
Speaker 3: government making a big deal about the special laws rushed
28:00
Speaker 3: through And now we find their laws around curfews and
28:04
Speaker 3: tracking devices, well, they weren't even legal in the first place.
28:08
Speaker 4: Look, I mean, ALBERNIZI may want to take a look
28:10
Speaker 4: at the United States and see what happens to governments
28:13
Speaker 4: that are week on migration.
28:15
Speaker 6: Orders cautionary sale issues.
28:17
Speaker 9: Right.
28:18
Speaker 4: I mean, they have bungled this from go to woe.
28:22
Speaker 4: I mean, seriously, could you find a worse job of something? Again,
28:26
Speaker 4: we know that the government was warned months before the
28:30
Speaker 4: High Court canded down their decision that it was likely
28:33
Speaker 4: in the Mzyquks that it would be found that the
28:36
Speaker 4: detention was unconstitutional, so they could have come up with
28:40
Speaker 4: a different law that would have allowed them to be
28:42
Speaker 4: sorted out. Then they came back and came up with
28:45
Speaker 4: some emergency laws a few days later quote unquote emergency
28:49
Speaker 4: which was so bad that the coalition then had to
28:52
Speaker 4: amend all of it, which Labor was going to oppose
28:54
Speaker 4: until the last minute when they realized that the stuff
28:57
Speaker 4: they'd come up with was rubbish, so they then got
28:59
Speaker 4: on board with the amendments. Then they said, we'll come
29:01
Speaker 4: up with some more stuff to redetain these people. As
29:04
Speaker 4: you just pointed out, none of them have been redetained.
29:07
Speaker 4: And one of the only things they could come up
29:09
Speaker 4: with which was to put ankle monitors on them, which
29:11
Speaker 4: many of them just didn't bother go and get anyway,
29:14
Speaker 4: and they weren't recharging them at night, so we didn't
29:17
Speaker 4: even know where they were. Was unconstitutional, So it started
29:21
Speaker 4: with a constitutional issue. That's how we landed in this
29:24
Speaker 4: mess in the first place. And then they bugged it
29:27
Speaker 4: up constitutionally again. Like it is such a comedy of
29:31
Speaker 4: errors comedy, well I say it comedy, it's actually not
29:34
Speaker 4: an holody. It's more of a tragedy really. But it
29:37
Speaker 4: is so pathetic to think that they had enough warning
29:41
Speaker 4: to come up with something that was water tight, but
29:44
Speaker 4: they ignored it for so long that what they then
29:47
Speaker 4: came up with was illegal again.
29:49
Speaker 5: And how disconcerting is it to learn yet again our
29:53
Speaker 5: law makers don't know the law.
29:56
Speaker 6: I mean, you're.
29:56
Speaker 5: Writing out the law and you didn't know or actually
30:01
Speaker 5: this is constitutionally invalid. How many people do you have
30:06
Speaker 5: working in these departments advising you on the writing of
30:10
Speaker 5: legislation and you just can't get it right, even when
30:14
Speaker 5: it's regarding something that is affecting the well being and
30:17
Speaker 5: safety of Australian citizens at the hands of criminal ex detainees.
30:23
Speaker 5: I mean, this is something that I'm glad it's back
30:27
Speaker 5: in the headlines because before the election, in the lead
30:31
Speaker 5: up to the election, which is what roughly five to
30:33
Speaker 5: six months away now, people cannot be allowed.
30:37
Speaker 6: To forget this debarkle.
30:40
Speaker 5: And despite this, check out this headline from last night,
30:44
Speaker 5: Alban Eaz he's telling his Labor mp is not only
30:48
Speaker 5: does he think he's going to get a labor government
30:52
Speaker 5: come that election, hey reckons he's going to have a
30:55
Speaker 5: bigger majority than he does now wely barely has a majority.
30:58
Speaker 5: But he thinks that wear flogs. He thinks that despite
31:03
Speaker 5: currently only being known as the Prime minister who was
31:07
Speaker 5: the architect of a failed voice referendum, lied about two
31:12
Speaker 5: hundred and seventy five dollars off our power bills getting
31:17
Speaker 5: freebies from Quantas while he ousted Qatar, which would have
31:21
Speaker 5: given us all cheaper airline fees. Then we've got the
31:25
Speaker 5: recent acquisition of his clip top mansion.
31:28
Speaker 6: I mean, have I missed anything?
31:31
Speaker 5: This guy has got nothing as well as this detainee debarcle.
31:36
Speaker 6: Quite obviously has he got a single win on his list.
31:40
Speaker 5: And there he is caught out telling his mates not
31:43
Speaker 5: only am I going to win at the next election.
31:46
Speaker 5: I am going to win it by a bigger margin
31:49
Speaker 5: than we're even holding naw.
31:52
Speaker 3: Well, I think the one thing he's succeeding in is
31:55
Speaker 3: he's making sure any rivals for the leadership are absolutely
31:58
Speaker 3: nowhere to be found.
32:00
Speaker 2: Should there be a challenge.
32:01
Speaker 3: Giles is obviously for sona non grata, and now Tony
32:04
Speaker 3: Burke is in charge of the Immigration portfolio.
32:07
Speaker 2: He's got to fix this mess.
32:08
Speaker 3: Of course, they've given Shadow Immigration Minister Dantean a free kick.
32:12
Speaker 2: This is what he had to say.
32:14
Speaker 9: Well, the government needs to reassure the Australian people that
32:18
Speaker 9: they have a planning place to keep them safe. But
32:21
Speaker 9: the sad reality is every time we get a decision
32:24
Speaker 9: like this, the government shows it's a sleep at the wheel.
32:27
Speaker 9: And once again we're seeing that the government is asleep
32:31
Speaker 9: at the wheel. Are they going to use preventative difiction
32:34
Speaker 9: order regime? Are they going to get the Removals Powers
32:37
Speaker 9: Bill through the Senate? What are they going to do
32:40
Speaker 9: to keep the Australian community safe?
32:44
Speaker 1: Yep.
32:44
Speaker 3: The problems just keep on mounting up for the Albanzi government.
32:48
Speaker 3: The problems keep on mounting up for the AFL as well.
32:50
Speaker 4: Klen, incredible is it? Because remember a few weeks ago
32:52
Speaker 4: there were some players as your team Gwsaaws who were
32:57
Speaker 4: caught out in some meta inappropriate dress up at their
33:01
Speaker 4: Mad Monday celebrations. Now it's an AFL umpire. Now, look,
33:04
Speaker 4: Donald Trump may well have taken a bullet and it
33:07
Speaker 4: didn't kill him, but I'm hoping that Donald Trump being
33:09
Speaker 4: elected president again today means he fires a fatal bullet
33:13
Speaker 4: at political correctness, because seriously, right, this case may be distasteful,
33:19
Speaker 4: but honestly, did it hurt anyone? An AFL umpire turned
33:23
Speaker 4: up to their postseason celebrations. He's a South Australia decorated
33:28
Speaker 4: South Australian umpire. He's unpired in something like six Sandful
33:32
Speaker 4: Grand Finals down there. He joined the AFL a few
33:35
Speaker 4: years ago. He's umpired nearly two hundred games in the
33:38
Speaker 4: AFL and the theme of this party was characters from
33:43
Speaker 4: the two thousands. So he turned up dressed as Osama
33:46
Speaker 4: bin Laden and yes, you might go okay in bad taste,
33:51
Speaker 4: but for that he's now been suspended for a match.
33:54
Speaker 4: It was a private event, right, a private event. He
33:58
Speaker 4: turned up dressed up as Osama. Have been louden Does
34:01
Speaker 4: anyone really care? Honestly?
34:04
Speaker 1: Are we?
34:05
Speaker 4: Are we that fragile that you can't turn up as
34:09
Speaker 4: a dead terrorist? I mean, let's not forget though some
34:12
Speaker 4: have been loud, and is not you know, raigning terror
34:14
Speaker 4: on anyone anymore. We actually got the dude. What does
34:17
Speaker 4: it matter if he turned up dressed up as osam
34:19
Speaker 4: have been loud? Just move on.
34:21
Speaker 3: But before we get to that, can I just point
34:22
Speaker 3: out you missed the biggest mystery of this story an
34:26
Speaker 3: AFL umpires end of season party. Could you imagine what
34:30
Speaker 3: kind of party the umpires have. It's like, I imagine
34:33
Speaker 3: a group of accountants. Accountants look like Bigi's compared to
34:36
Speaker 3: a bud of AFL the most boring party you've ever
34:41
Speaker 3: been doing.
34:44
Speaker 4: Because my accountant, my accountant used to be a football upire.
34:52
Speaker 3: But I mean this guy getting suspended for a week.
34:55
Speaker 3: We've got people dressing up as terrorists and protesting through
34:57
Speaker 3: the streets of our CBD every weekend and they get
35:00
Speaker 3: no penalty at all. This guy dresses up, you know,
35:03
Speaker 3: for a bit of a lark. As you said, private event.
35:06
Speaker 3: The AFL only became aware of it because someone sent
35:09
Speaker 3: a photograph to someone at AFL headquarters, and so they've
35:12
Speaker 3: suspended him just in case. But I love this, Liz,
35:14
Speaker 3: You'll enjoy this. The umpire has been sent to education.
35:18
Speaker 3: Stop the umpires as he is reflecting on his choice mate,
35:22
Speaker 3: I don't know how low reflects, it gets worse. And
35:25
Speaker 3: then the AFL Umpires Association says, at all times he
35:29
Speaker 3: has cooperated fully and transparently with the investigation. He was
35:34
Speaker 3: wearing an Osama bin laden mask. What sort of cooperation
35:38
Speaker 3: or transparency or investigation said?
35:41
Speaker 5: All these dress up parties, you've got a pile of lads.
35:45
Speaker 5: This guy actually did it in September before my team,
35:49
Speaker 5: my great amazing team were brought into disrepute because they
35:53
Speaker 5: too had.
35:54
Speaker 6: A dress up party. You've got a pile of lads.
35:57
Speaker 5: Of course they're going to dress up as baddies.
36:00
Speaker 6: I mean, is there a rule against it?
36:02
Speaker 5: No, So, like Caleb said, you can say, oh it's
36:05
Speaker 5: in bad taste, Oh I disapprove, But suspensions and fine
36:10
Speaker 5: simply because they picked a costume that you don't like.
36:15
Speaker 5: Check this out from the suspended AFL umpire lee House
36:19
Speaker 5: and he says.
36:20
Speaker 6: I made an error of judgment. I am sorry. I
36:22
Speaker 6: never intended to offend anyone. We know you didn't. Lee.
36:27
Speaker 5: It was a jolly dresser party, it was a private event,
36:31
Speaker 5: and for some strange reason, you chose to dress up
36:34
Speaker 5: as a dead terrorist. But okay, then we've got the
36:38
Speaker 5: AFL head of Umpiring, Stephen mcburniey letting us all know
36:43
Speaker 5: that this man has been disciplined. He says, Lee understands
36:48
Speaker 5: the inappropriate nature of his costume.
36:50
Speaker 6: He has reflected on that choice.
36:52
Speaker 5: We will support Lee to make his return to umpiring
36:55
Speaker 5: AFL football following this suspension.
36:59
Speaker 6: I mean, you'd think the guy was Osama bin Laden.
37:03
Speaker 5: The way these guys are carrying on, where I think
37:06
Speaker 5: the line keeps being drawn here is they think.
37:09
Speaker 6: You're dressing up as someone.
37:11
Speaker 5: Therefore you're hero wizing them, you're celebrating them somehow.
37:15
Speaker 6: That's not true.
37:17
Speaker 5: You're simply going You said, dress up as someone who's
37:21
Speaker 5: very well known in the two thousands. I know someone
37:25
Speaker 5: and nobody else will come in this costume. That's all
37:28
Speaker 5: he's done.
37:28
Speaker 3: The mistake he made was to dress up as Sama
37:31
Speaker 3: bin Laden with a name like Lee Hassan, he should
37:33
Speaker 3: have gone as Saddam Hassan.
37:36
Speaker 4: Finally, if I mentioned before about my accountant being a
37:40
Speaker 4: former football lumpire. He's just sent me a text and
37:42
Speaker 4: said he's going to the next umpire's reunion dressed as
37:45
Speaker 4: Donald Trump.
37:47
Speaker 5: He gets see how many clients you keep?
37:50
Speaker 6: After that?
37:50
Speaker 5: For a to Queensland now, where Stephen Miles is embracing
37:54
Speaker 5: his new role as leader of the opposition.
37:57
Speaker 6: Despite losing at least fifteen seats.
38:00
Speaker 5: The party's decided to keep the guy because I think
38:03
Speaker 5: nobody wants that poison chalice. At the moment, he's burnt
38:06
Speaker 5: all his political capitals, so they're like, hey.
38:08
Speaker 6: You can stay and.
38:09
Speaker 5: Be the pincushion, but get him here. He is visiting Townsville,
38:15
Speaker 5: all smiles, saying, don't worry.
38:17
Speaker 6: That's all behind me. Now.
38:19
Speaker 5: I'm setting my sights on the next election.
38:23
Speaker 10: My first day in the job as opposition leader, and
38:25
Speaker 10: I'm spending it here in Townsville talking to locals about
38:29
Speaker 10: what they wish we'd done better in the last term
38:31
Speaker 10: of government and what we can do to both ensure
38:34
Speaker 10: that the new government delivers for Townsville and also to
38:38
Speaker 10: win back their trust and support between now and twenty
38:41
Speaker 10: twenty eight.
38:43
Speaker 5: This guy all smiles, as you can still see giggles.
38:47
Speaker 5: Miles is still giggling. He has embarked on a post
38:50
Speaker 5: election listening tour. Of course, the question Queensland's one answered
38:56
Speaker 5: are where was the pre election listening tour? Because it's
39:01
Speaker 5: only just now he's telling people in Townsville, you know what,
39:06
Speaker 5: when it comes to the whole crime issue and being
39:09
Speaker 5: at an old time high in the state of Queensland,
39:12
Speaker 5: I guess we did move too slow.
39:15
Speaker 10: We were too slow to respond to the concerns about crime,
39:19
Speaker 10: particularly in Townsville. And when we did respond, even though
39:24
Speaker 10: that plan was effective, people particularly in Townsville, I think
39:27
Speaker 10: had already made up their mind.
39:30
Speaker 6: Oh you reckon, you reckon.
39:33
Speaker 5: This has got to be the cheeriest leader of the
39:37
Speaker 5: opposition following quite a wipe owl historical, pretty historical for Queenslanders.
39:44
Speaker 5: And he still just all smiles, being like, I'm embarking
39:47
Speaker 5: on this pre post election listening tour seeing what people
39:51
Speaker 5: think we could have done better. It's a bit late now, buddy,
39:55
Speaker 5: and just talking about the next election already, like heck,
39:58
Speaker 5: it's only four years away.
40:00
Speaker 6: We're on our way.
40:01
Speaker 3: To see him standing on the beach in Townsville in
40:04
Speaker 3: the sun. It's my first day as opposition leader. It's
40:06
Speaker 3: like it's first at at school.
40:07
Speaker 2: He's so proud of the.
40:08
Speaker 3: Fact in government anymore, I'm the opposition leader.
40:11
Speaker 2: This is so much fun.
40:12
Speaker 3: And he's in Townsville where, of course they lost three seats.
40:15
Speaker 3: That's all the seats in Townsville. He's there to hear
40:18
Speaker 3: what they could have done better? Well, I think Townsvillians
40:21
Speaker 3: will answer that question with just one word, Caleb everything.
40:25
Speaker 2: They could have done everything better.
40:26
Speaker 3: And as for we're a little late, how long were
40:29
Speaker 3: labor in power?
40:30
Speaker 2: Was it nine eighty years?
40:32
Speaker 4: Exactly?
40:32
Speaker 2: How long does it take?
40:33
Speaker 3: And just one more thing, sorry, he says we were
40:37
Speaker 3: slow to put in our measures.
40:40
Speaker 2: They weren't slow at all. They put you never watched
40:42
Speaker 2: me from the beginning.
40:43
Speaker 3: They did exactly what they intended to do and it
40:46
Speaker 3: just didn't work.
40:47
Speaker 2: Crime just kept increasing.
40:49
Speaker 4: Well, they say that hindsight is twenty twenty, but I
40:51
Speaker 4: think in this case, hindsight is fifty one thirty six,
40:55
Speaker 4: which was how many seats the LMP one and to
40:58
Speaker 4: what Labour won? Right, I mean, imagine having the gall
41:01
Speaker 4: to actually stand there with I going to say straight face.
41:05
Speaker 4: It's not even a straight face. A greening face say, oh,
41:08
Speaker 4: look how good I've managed to hang on as opposition leader.
41:11
Speaker 4: How he's managed to do that, I don't know.
41:13
Speaker 3: From his dear Well have you seen the people around him,
41:16
Speaker 3: Cameron Bick, but he.
41:18
Speaker 4: Should not be opposition leader. Like if they don't want
41:20
Speaker 4: to have any chance of winning an election in four years.
41:24
Speaker 5: Oh they're bouting they'll boot him before then. But these
41:27
Speaker 5: am politics is what we call the pincushion candidate. No
41:31
Speaker 5: one after such a comprehensive defeat is going to be like,
41:35
Speaker 5: oh we'll win it that next term.
41:37
Speaker 6: Highly unlikely. Sure it's a fully will do a great job.
41:40
Speaker 5: So nobody wants the job of being the flog facing
41:45
Speaker 5: as I'm leader of the opposition for goodness knows how
41:48
Speaker 5: long they're like, you've burned all your political capital.
41:51
Speaker 6: I'm keeping my gunpowder dry. But one hundred.
41:54
Speaker 5: Percent minute they know they have a chance at winning
41:57
Speaker 5: the next election.
41:57
Speaker 6: Whichever election that is gone, run from premier.
42:02
Speaker 4: It would be a bit late Kamala Harris in four
42:05
Speaker 4: years time trying to have another shot at a Democratic nomination.
42:09
Speaker 2: I would love that. That would be great, It would
42:11
Speaker 2: be so into day.
42:12
Speaker 4: But the people of Queensland, instead of giving them a full,
42:16
Speaker 4: flat out proper apology. We were a bit slow to act.
42:20
Speaker 4: I mean you could have just acted at all to
42:23
Speaker 4: begin with. It's a bit late to be coming up.
42:26
Speaker 3: The other statement I loved from the Deputy Labor Leader
42:29
Speaker 3: Cameron Dick, who.
42:30
Speaker 2: Said, I think we lost the trust of Queenslanders. He
42:33
Speaker 2: says that twenty four.
42:34
Speaker 3: Hours after it was revealed the hydro plant they'd promised
42:37
Speaker 3: at twelve billion dollars has come in at thirty six
42:40
Speaker 3: billion dollars. I think we lost the trust of Queensland
42:44
Speaker 3: as I can't imagine why we're going to go to
42:46
Speaker 3: a break. When we come back, we'll look at how
42:48
Speaker 3: tomorrow's papers will be reporting Donald Trump's historic victory that's
42:52
Speaker 3: coming up in just a moment. Well, as you would expect,
42:57
Speaker 3: Trump's victory is going to be across all of the
42:59
Speaker 3: papers tomorrow. So let's have a look at how they're
43:02
Speaker 3: going to report it. Caleb, you've got the Daily Telegraph.
43:04
Speaker 4: Indeed, they are calling it the Maga miracle. Don pulls
43:08
Speaker 4: off the greatest political comeback of all time, it says
43:12
Speaker 4: Trump Towers. Donald Trump last night pulled off the most
43:15
Speaker 4: astonishing comeback in political history, sweeping back into the White
43:18
Speaker 4: House with a thumping victory that left Kamala Harrison her Democrats'
43:22
Speaker 4: hopes in tatters. In a win that defied polls, in
43:25
Speaker 4: a divisive Democrat campaign that cast him as a modern
43:28
Speaker 4: day Hitler, mister Trump vowed Dasher in a new golden
43:32
Speaker 4: age for America. I wish, speaking of Trump Towers, that
43:36
Speaker 4: we've seen him come down the escalator again like he did.
43:40
Speaker 4: How good would that have be?
43:41
Speaker 5: That was absolutely to the Herald's son now similar headline,
43:46
Speaker 5: He's done it again. Trump pulls off incredible victory in
43:51
Speaker 5: US election. Come back King, and what a comeback it was.
43:56
Speaker 5: I gotta say it was the moment I saw the
43:59
Speaker 5: arm coming out to vote for Trump in the state
44:03
Speaker 5: of Pennsylvania.
44:05
Speaker 6: That was the moment for me.
44:06
Speaker 5: I was like, we've got it in the bags. It
44:08
Speaker 5: reminded me of when the trees the ants decide to
44:12
Speaker 5: go to battle in the Lord of the Rings, the
44:14
Speaker 5: Twin Towers.
44:16
Speaker 6: That was incredible.
44:18
Speaker 5: That is, when before anyone had called anything, I was like,
44:21
Speaker 5: you've got the Amish out voting for you.
44:23
Speaker 6: That's nineteen more electoral votes. We're done here, all right.
44:27
Speaker 3: The Adelaide Advertiser they've gone with your rehired, pointing out,
44:32
Speaker 3: of course the fact that Donald Trump, I think, is
44:33
Speaker 3: only the second president in US history you have come
44:37
Speaker 3: back for a second term after losing office. But they've
44:40
Speaker 3: also gone for a religious theme. Donald Trump stormed back
44:44
Speaker 3: to the White House in emphatic style on Wednesday and
44:46
Speaker 3: declared God had spared him from an assassin's bullet to
44:50
Speaker 3: save his country. Here's Donald Trump talking about that when
44:54
Speaker 3: he made his victory speech earlier this evening.
44:59
Speaker 11: Many people are told me that God spared my life
45:04
Speaker 11: for a reason, and that reason was to save our
45:12
Speaker 11: country and to restore America to Griddis. And now we
45:17
Speaker 11: are going to fulfill that mission together that we're going
45:19
Speaker 11: to fulfill that vision.
45:22
Speaker 3: What a contrast, just a couple of days ago, Kamala
45:24
Speaker 3: Harris telling some Christians there's an event down the road
45:27
Speaker 3: for you guys. Donald Trump tonight crediting God with saving
45:30
Speaker 3: his life.
45:31
Speaker 4: And the Australian has gone with a very similar headline, Trump,
45:34
Speaker 4: You're rehired, It says Donald Trump has promised a golden
45:37
Speaker 4: age for America as he delivered a crashing victory over
45:39
Speaker 4: Kamala Harris in the US presidential election, rking a dramatic
45:43
Speaker 4: revival of his mega movement and delivering him a second
45:46
Speaker 4: term in the White House. One of the greatest political
45:48
Speaker 4: comebacks of history. And it also notes up the top
45:51
Speaker 4: there Latinos and young men helped deliver emphatic win. Isn't
45:55
Speaker 4: it great when the.
45:55
Speaker 5: Latinae his sorry kais for the Republicns with the Blacks,
46:01
Speaker 5: the Hispanics and other minorities. Only Trump could do it,
46:05
Speaker 5: and he did. But of course you've got to have
46:07
Speaker 5: one sook. And that's what we count on the camera
46:10
Speaker 5: times for their headline reads President of the United States
46:14
Speaker 5: or the Anxiety. I'm sure this message is approved by
46:19
Speaker 5: Adam Bant.
46:20
Speaker 6: They are sooking all over the place.
46:24
Speaker 5: Republican candidate Donald Trump has claimed a shock comeback to
46:28
Speaker 5: the American presidency. Of course, most people on the ground
46:31
Speaker 5: in America weren't shocked, because after the conditions that they've
46:35
Speaker 5: suffered for four years, everyone was coming out in force
46:39
Speaker 5: to vote for this man. Hence, the red wave was
46:42
Speaker 5: big enough to overwhelm all of the dodgy tactics the
46:46
Speaker 5: dem had organized to play out during the very outlay
46:50
Speaker 5: of this election.
46:51
Speaker 2: We are going to go to a break.
46:53
Speaker 3: But when we come back, you'd think if you're going
46:55
Speaker 3: to be hit by a vehicle, and you'd probably want to.
46:58
Speaker 2: Be hit by an ambulance.
46:59
Speaker 3: Right, No, No, that's the worst thing that could happen
47:01
Speaker 3: to you. Will explain why in just a moment. Well,
47:05
Speaker 3: an incredible story from Oregon in the US. Seventy one
47:08
Speaker 3: year old William Hosch was out riding his bicycle when
47:12
Speaker 3: he got hit sideswiped by an ambulance. It's pretty bad
47:16
Speaker 3: getting hit by a vehicle, but I guess at least
47:17
Speaker 3: it's an ambulance. It can take you to hospital, which
47:20
Speaker 3: it did, only to then issue with him with an
47:22
Speaker 3: invoice for one.
47:24
Speaker 2: Eight hundred dollars for the trip.
47:26
Speaker 3: It's reported that the Oregon cyclist was struck by an
47:29
Speaker 3: ambulance that made a right turn into him, fracturing his nose,
47:33
Speaker 3: leaving him with scrapes and other injuries across his body.
47:36
Speaker 3: And now he's filed a lawsuit against them, not just
47:39
Speaker 3: for damages, but for the fact they charged him for
47:41
Speaker 3: taking him to the hospital after it was their fault
47:43
Speaker 3: in the first place.
47:44
Speaker 4: Honestly, what happened to the fair go that is absolutely pathetic.
47:49
Speaker 4: He who does it should pay.
47:51
Speaker 6: Now.
47:51
Speaker 4: Look, we know that Kamala Harris, through Joe Biden under
47:55
Speaker 4: the bus in order for her to run for the presidency.
47:57
Speaker 4: We know how will that win. Spare a thought for
48:00
Speaker 4: her campaign coach here, who she also threw under the
48:04
Speaker 4: bus today to tell her supporters that Harris HQ that
48:07
Speaker 4: she wasn't coming out to say hello.
48:11
Speaker 10: We will continue over Nate to fight to make sure
48:15
Speaker 10: that every voter's counted, that every voice has spoken.
48:21
Speaker 1: So you won't hear from.
48:23
Speaker 4: The Vice president to Nate, but you will hear from
48:28
Speaker 4: her tomorrow. I mean, can you imagine when he was told, Okay,
48:34
Speaker 4: you've got to go out and tell all these people
48:35
Speaker 4: who volunteer and donated, they want to hear from rugs.
48:39
Speaker 4: You've got to go out and tell them that she's
48:41
Speaker 4: not even going to come.
48:42
Speaker 5: He's basically saying go home, she's not coming out. Keep
48:46
Speaker 5: in mind, this was at twelve forty five a m.
48:49
Speaker 6: So they already knew. It wasn't much.
48:52
Speaker 5: Long later that Trump came out and was like, yeah,
48:55
Speaker 5: I won.
48:56
Speaker 6: Thanks. But so at this point she could have at
48:58
Speaker 6: least come out.
48:59
Speaker 5: And thank you to all the participants without conceding. But instead,
49:04
Speaker 5: wouldn't even make an appearance.
49:06
Speaker 2: Cowardice, that's it from us.
49:08
Speaker 3: But stick around here is Rita penhe
