Speaker 1: Why on Sky News This is.
0:04
Speaker 2: Shari Good Evening.
0:07
Speaker 3: Full coverage tonight on Israel's war with Iran as it
0:11
Speaker 3: enters its fourth day. Former Commander Richard Kemp will join
0:15
Speaker 3: me live from Israel after an American embassy was damaged
0:19
Speaker 3: in Iranian strike. Will this draw the United States into
0:22
Speaker 3: the war? Plus Benjaminette and Yahoo claims that Iran tried
0:26
Speaker 3: to assassinate a President Donald Trump twice, and leading Israeli
0:31
Speaker 3: Tvanka Litaloshamesh will be here in studio to discuss how
0:35
Speaker 3: Iran is deliberately targeting civilian families, appoint the international community
0:42
Speaker 3: has been silent on. Also on the show, Ray Hadley
0:45
Speaker 3: joins me on whether he thinks the coalition should abandon
0:49
Speaker 3: Net zero. But first residential buildings in the heart of
0:54
Speaker 3: Tel Aviv were hit today and over the weekend in
0:57
Speaker 3: other parts of Israel, with families bearing the brunt of
1:01
Speaker 3: the Islamic Republic of Iran's retaliation. Israelis have never experienced
1:07
Speaker 3: this before, major missiles from Iran, the volume so great
1:12
Speaker 3: that the Iron Dome.
1:13
Speaker 2: Has been unable to handle the onslaught.
1:16
Speaker 3: Israelis are famously resilient, but they're usually confident in the
1:20
Speaker 3: knowledge their air defense systems will protect them.
1:25
Speaker 2: But we've seen the Iron Dome and other systems.
1:28
Speaker 3: Simply can't intercept hundreds of incoming attacks simultaneously. Now, Israel
1:35
Speaker 3: is trying to destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities on behalf of
1:39
Speaker 3: the entire world, and it's Israeli families who are paying
1:44
Speaker 3: the price. And there's hardly enough gratitude from international leaders
1:48
Speaker 3: towards Israelis for this. CNN is reporting that so far,
1:54
Speaker 3: twenty four lives have been lost and more than five
1:57
Speaker 3: hundred and ninety two people injured in Israel. One father
2:01
Speaker 3: told of how he couldn't get his family to safety
2:05
Speaker 3: in time when the missile hit their property on Saturday night,
2:10
Speaker 3: his daughters and wife dying. A young mother's baby dropped
2:15
Speaker 3: from her arms in the bomb blast. Thankfully, the tiny
2:18
Speaker 3: bub is now okay.
2:25
Speaker 4: Shown you know, do not get the fly Maya die
2:35
Speaker 4: o GOODSONI Pijama and.
2:55
Speaker 3: Three children, an eight year old girl, a ten year
2:57
Speaker 3: old boy, and an eighteen year old boy were killed
3:01
Speaker 3: in a separate Iranian missile attack. It's understood these children
3:06
Speaker 3: were Ukrainians who escaped the war in their hometown, only
3:10
Speaker 3: to be killed in another war.
3:13
Speaker 2: Their little bodies are being sent.
3:15
Speaker 3: Back home to Ukraine now several times a day, even
3:20
Speaker 3: in the middle of the night. Parents are waking and
3:24
Speaker 3: bundling their children up and rushing them to the safe room.
3:28
Speaker 2: Israelis are in a state of.
3:30
Speaker 3: Lockdown, with disrupted sleep, panic, destruction and death. Iran's onslaught
3:37
Speaker 3: is having a devastating impact on civilians, and we have
3:41
Speaker 3: to remember that this is a fight Israeli is having
3:44
Speaker 3: on behalf of all of us. They are paying with
3:48
Speaker 3: their lives and that of their loved ones. And as
3:51
Speaker 3: tough as it is, they acknowledge that it's essential to
3:55
Speaker 3: tackle Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile threat because as Israeli
4:00
Speaker 3: Prime Minister Benjroinettiyah who said, if this isn't done, there
4:04
Speaker 3: won't be a next generation. Now, there've been conflicting reports
4:09
Speaker 3: about where exactly Iran was up to in its nuclear development. Well,
4:14
Speaker 3: Netanyahu today revealed that the Islamic Republic had developed in our.
4:19
Speaker 2: Uranium for nine bombs.
4:22
Speaker 3: He said Iran was working on a secret plan to
4:25
Speaker 3: weaponize the uranium and they were going to achieve a
4:28
Speaker 3: test device and possibly a real device in.
4:31
Speaker 2: As little as a few months.
4:33
Speaker 3: He said he finally took action against Iran at.
4:37
Speaker 2: What he described as the twelfth hour.
4:41
Speaker 5: I think we have excellent intel in Iran. I think
4:44
Speaker 5: we've proven that, and that is something that we couldn't
4:47
Speaker 5: possibly accept, whether it would be six months or twelve
4:50
Speaker 5: months or thirteen months as immateial. Once they go that route,
4:54
Speaker 5: it's too late and we will not have a second Holocaust,
4:58
Speaker 5: a nuclear holocaust. We already have one in the previous century.
5:02
Speaker 5: The Jewish state is not going to have the Holocaust
5:04
Speaker 5: made it on the Jewish people. It's not going to happen.
5:07
Speaker 2: But this isn't just about Jews in Israel.
5:10
Speaker 3: The weapons Iran is developing, both nuclear and ballistic, are
5:14
Speaker 3: a threat to Europe, the United States, even Australia. Iran
5:19
Speaker 3: is on a mission to make atomic bombs, and it's
5:21
Speaker 3: also ramping up production of its ballistic missile arsenal, building
5:26
Speaker 3: three thousand, six hundred new weapons a year. And Nettaya,
5:30
Speaker 3: who told Brett Bayer at Fox News that that's ten
5:33
Speaker 3: thousand new ballistic missiles in three years, each waighing a ton,
5:39
Speaker 3: and that it'd be twenty thousand in six years, he
5:42
Speaker 3: rightly said that no country could survive.
5:45
Speaker 5: That our brief pilots are over the skies of Tehran
5:50
Speaker 5: and we're targeting military sides, nuclear sides.
5:53
Speaker 6: That's what we're doing to take out those two threats.
5:56
Speaker 5: Unlike the Iranians, who were a reporter said correctly, they're
5:58
Speaker 5: targeting our civilian Yeah, they're bombing our civillians. So that's
6:02
Speaker 5: a difference. They're a terrorist regime. We can't have Iran
6:06
Speaker 5: have nuclear weapons. And by the way, our intel shows
6:10
Speaker 5: that they intend to give these nuclear weapons to their
6:13
Speaker 5: Huti proxies and others, and that's nuclear terrorism on a
6:17
Speaker 5: global scale. It threatens everyone. And the last thing is
6:21
Speaker 5: they have plans to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles right now
6:25
Speaker 5: eight thousand kilometers very soon, just at a little distance,
6:29
Speaker 5: and they can reach the eastern seaboard of the United States.
6:32
Speaker 3: And he said, the world's most dangerous regime can't have
6:36
Speaker 3: the world's most dangerous weapons. This is why Israel's operation
6:40
Speaker 3: in Iran can't only be a campaign of delay. It
6:44
Speaker 3: can't simply set around back a number of years on
6:48
Speaker 3: its quest to build a nuclear weapon. Israel needs to
6:52
Speaker 3: entirely destroy the nuclear sites, and to do this it
6:56
Speaker 3: needs America's involvement, and right now, Erica is helping defend Israel,
7:03
Speaker 3: but it's not yet attacking Iran. And I'm just going
7:06
Speaker 3: to repeat that because it's a really important point. America
7:09
Speaker 3: is helping, but it's helping Israel defend itself. It's not
7:13
Speaker 3: yet directly attacking Iran. It's a crucial distinction. Now, Trump
7:18
Speaker 3: gave the green light to net and Yahoo for the
7:20
Speaker 3: nuclear strikes, and it's been a discussion the pair have
7:24
Speaker 3: been having for years. Right now, American pilots are helping
7:29
Speaker 3: to shoot down drones headed for Israel. There's also the
7:32
Speaker 3: third missile batteries that are helping to defend Tel Aviv,
7:36
Speaker 3: and there's.
7:37
Speaker 2: Critical intelligence sharing.
7:39
Speaker 3: But several US officials have warned Iran not to attack
7:43
Speaker 3: its officials or its embassies in the region, and they
7:46
Speaker 3: warn that if.
7:46
Speaker 2: Iran does that, America will intervene.
7:50
Speaker 3: Well tonight, US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee has confirmed
7:55
Speaker 3: that an Iranian missile has caused what he says is
8:00
Speaker 3: minor damage to the US embassy and Tel Aviv. So
8:03
Speaker 3: the question remains whether Trump will directly help.
8:07
Speaker 2: Israel to finish the job.
8:10
Speaker 3: Now, Trump indicated he was considering getting involved, although his
8:15
Speaker 3: later comments were less encouraging.
8:19
Speaker 7: Well, I hope there's going.
8:19
Speaker 8: To be a deal.
8:21
Speaker 1: I think that's time for a deal, and we'll see
8:23
Speaker 1: what happens.
8:23
Speaker 9: But sometimes they have to fight it out.
8:26
Speaker 1: But we're going to see what happens. I think there's
8:28
Speaker 1: a good chance you'll be a deal.
8:31
Speaker 3: I think Trump needs to be encouraged in the strongest
8:35
Speaker 3: possible terms to seize this once in a lifetime opportunity
8:39
Speaker 3: to destroy Iran's nuclear program and eliminate this grave threat
8:46
Speaker 3: to America and the West. It would also give Iranians
8:49
Speaker 3: the chance to reclaim their country from the Islamist extremist
8:54
Speaker 3: regime that has implemented a cruel reign of terror and
8:57
Speaker 3: impose Sharia law across the nation. Now, as I said,
9:01
Speaker 3: this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and Trump
9:04
Speaker 3: shouldn't miss it. Netanyahu has done ninety percent of the
9:09
Speaker 3: heavy lifting, but the US needs to step in with
9:13
Speaker 3: the more powerful weapons and destroy the secret nuclear and
9:17
Speaker 3: military sites that are almost impenetrable. They're deep underground or
9:23
Speaker 3: within mountains. Now, the Wall Street Journal has been making
9:27
Speaker 3: this case extremely persuasively in a series of editorials, I
9:31
Speaker 3: recommend you read them, and the Wall Street Journal editorial
9:34
Speaker 3: board says that a neutral US means a longer war.
9:38
Speaker 3: They say, the biggest question about the air and sabotage
9:41
Speaker 3: campaign is how much of Iran's nuclear program Israel will
9:45
Speaker 3: be able to destroy. The US has the bombers to
9:49
Speaker 3: carry deep penetrating.
9:50
Speaker 2: Bombs that Israeli jets can't.
9:53
Speaker 3: This will be a missed opportunity if some of Iran's
9:56
Speaker 3: uranium enrichment capacity survives, when U participation could have made
10:02
Speaker 3: a difference, and it's a message influential entrepreneur and investor
10:07
Speaker 3: Bill Ackman repeats, he urges we should not less let
10:12
Speaker 3: this opportunity pass. But Israel does not have the equipment
10:16
Speaker 3: and ornaments to complete the job we do, and it.
10:19
Speaker 2: Does not require boots on the ground.
10:23
Speaker 3: The war Israel has been fighting has been on behalf
10:25
Speaker 3: of all of us. Let's help them finish the job.
10:30
Speaker 3: And Lindsey Graham is also publicly urging Trump to help,
10:33
Speaker 3: saying that if a deal can't be done, then America,
10:37
Speaker 3: the greatest power for good on Earth, should be all
10:41
Speaker 3: in to help Israel finish the job. Now Trump is
10:45
Speaker 3: aware that he's getting a nickname Taco, which stands for
10:50
Speaker 3: Trump always chickens out. He talks a big game, but
10:54
Speaker 3: when it comes to taking action, he hasn't been as forthcoming.
10:58
Speaker 3: Perhaps he's being influenced by the isolationists in the MAGA
11:02
Speaker 3: movement like Pulsi Gabbard, jd Vance, and Tucker Carlson. Or
11:08
Speaker 3: it would be a shocking outcome if Iran continues to
11:13
Speaker 3: develop an atomic bomb because of these narrow minded individuals
11:17
Speaker 3: who pander to a racist audience.
11:21
Speaker 2: The point is that right now the United.
11:24
Speaker 3: States is leaving it up to the only Jewish nation
11:26
Speaker 3: in the world, a comparatively tiny country, to defend all
11:32
Speaker 3: of democracy. Yet gratitude from international leadership has been thin.
11:37
Speaker 2: On the ground.
11:39
Speaker 3: I've barely heard a word of thanks, on any meaningful
11:42
Speaker 3: recognition at the price Israelis are paying. Israel is single
11:48
Speaker 3: handedly saving the world from Iran's buildup of lethal weapons
11:52
Speaker 3: capable of mass destruction. And when I say Israel is
11:56
Speaker 3: saving the world, I mean the brave young Israeli men
12:00
Speaker 3: and women who are fighting this war. It's the young
12:04
Speaker 3: generation of mostly Jews who are saving the world.
12:08
Speaker 2: Or trying to.
12:11
Speaker 3: Some are embedded deep undercover in Tehran, some are flying
12:15
Speaker 3: planes over enemy territory. They're all taking grave risks and
12:20
Speaker 3: putting their lives on the line in defense of Western civilization. Meanwhile,
12:26
Speaker 3: international leaders like Kiirs, Stamer, Anthony Albanezi, Penny Wang and
12:31
Speaker 3: others can't bring themselves to say thank you. Natiyahoo today
12:38
Speaker 3: referenced Winston Churchill's warning of the slumber of democracies, and
12:45
Speaker 3: it's true. The British Prime minister who defeated Nazi Germany
12:49
Speaker 3: often spoke of the dangers of democratic complacency in the
12:54
Speaker 3: face of totalitarianism. And this is precisely what we're seeing
13:00
Speaker 3: left leaning in different politicians who are sleep walking, unarmed
13:05
Speaker 3: and unprepared toward a future where our enemies are heavily
13:09
Speaker 3: militarized and intent on our destruction. Israel's ambassador to Australia,
13:15
Speaker 3: Emir Maimon, put Penny Wang and her like minded in
13:19
Speaker 3: their place when he said that Iran isn't hiding its intent,
13:24
Speaker 3: it declares it, he said, Yet some still urge diplomacy
13:30
Speaker 3: as if words can stop warheads.
13:34
Speaker 2: He says, this is how the conflict began.
13:36
Speaker 3: Israel cannot afford the illusion that existential threats are empty
13:41
Speaker 3: words well said, and furthermore, Pennywog and others are calling
13:47
Speaker 3: on both sides to show restraint, as if there's any
13:51
Speaker 3: equivalence between an evil terror regime and a democracy searching
13:55
Speaker 3: for peace, and she fails to acknowledge that only one.
13:58
Speaker 2: Side is targeting civilians.
14:01
Speaker 3: It's another example of double standards at play when Israel
14:05
Speaker 3: is involved and Israel, as you know, is only going
14:10
Speaker 3: after surgical targeted strikes on nuclear and military sites to
14:15
Speaker 3: try and neutralize an existential threat, while Iran is showering
14:21
Speaker 3: missiles down on innocent families. It's a simple statement of
14:26
Speaker 3: fact to say that the young Israelis fighting Iran right
14:30
Speaker 3: now have more courage and bravery in their bones than
14:35
Speaker 3: leaders like Albanisi and Kiir Starmer and Penny Wong will
14:38
Speaker 3: ever have. The young Israelis are coming face to face
14:42
Speaker 3: with an enemy that's only theoretical for the weak need
14:46
Speaker 3: leaders of the West. The Israelis are risking their lives
14:50
Speaker 3: for all of us, and they're on the right side
14:53
Speaker 3: of history. Let's hope the world wakes up and gives
14:57
Speaker 3: Israel the arsenal it needs to win, because Israel is
15:02
Speaker 3: fighting for a future that we can all.
15:04
Speaker 2: Agree on one of peace. That's all.
15:08
Speaker 3: Israelis want to live in peace and security without its
15:13
Speaker 3: neighbors trying to destroy it and that.
15:16
Speaker 2: Shouldn't be too much to ask.
15:23
Speaker 3: Okay, And as I say, we've got Richard Kemp coming
15:26
Speaker 3: up shortly, Littel schamesh coming up later, but right now,
15:29
Speaker 3: let's bring in our Monday panel Sky News host Steve
15:31
Speaker 3: Price and Joe Hildebrand evening.
15:35
Speaker 2: Steve, I mean you look at these international leaders.
15:37
Speaker 3: They can't distinguish between a rogue, evil regime that funds terrorism,
15:42
Speaker 3: that was behind the October seven attacks to begin with,
15:45
Speaker 3: and a democracy. Do you think in Australia this is
15:48
Speaker 3: all about the politics of Western Sydney and afar left ideology.
15:56
Speaker 7: I think that's where it started. I mean we saw
15:58
Speaker 7: that during the lead up to the election campaign, didn't
16:01
Speaker 7: we with the seats in Southwest Sydney, in particular that
16:05
Speaker 7: a Labor Cabinet minister's hole Tony Burke and others Chris Bowen,
16:10
Speaker 7: and they did not want to upset their constituency.
16:13
Speaker 1: But the time for that's gone now.
16:15
Speaker 7: I mean, I think what you've said at the start
16:17
Speaker 7: of the show is outstanding and you just wonder, don't you.
16:21
Speaker 7: You know, when Anthony ALBANIZI wanders in to this one
16:25
Speaker 7: on one meeting with Donald Trump, and Donald Trump asks
16:27
Speaker 7: him what he makes of the Israeli action to get
16:32
Speaker 7: rid of Iran's capability to build a nuclear weapon, what's
16:35
Speaker 7: Anthony alban is he going to say?
16:36
Speaker 6: Is he going to say?
16:37
Speaker 7: Well, as my Foreign Minister Penny Wong has been saying,
16:40
Speaker 7: this is all about diplomacy. We need to get the
16:44
Speaker 7: diplomats talking to each other to try and stop what's
16:46
Speaker 7: going on. Well, it's the time for that has passed. Sadly,
16:50
Speaker 7: it's past. And as you point out, the response from Iran,
16:53
Speaker 7: it's just showering rockets down on Tel Aviv, whereas the
16:56
Speaker 7: Israelis have gone in there with precise bombs, taking out
17:00
Speaker 7: these weapons manufacturing plants. Plus we should never forget taking
17:04
Speaker 7: out the leaders of their military, the nuclear scientists, the generals,
17:08
Speaker 7: the people running the Islamic Guard. I mean, Israel is
17:11
Speaker 7: the best at doing this of anyone in the world.
17:15
Speaker 7: And you know, no matter what you think of Benjamin
17:17
Speaker 7: nittn Yah, the bloke's got the guts to carry out
17:19
Speaker 7: what he knows has to be done exactly and.
17:22
Speaker 3: By the way, I think he's a brilliant and courageous
17:25
Speaker 3: leader who and I just feel like I have to
17:28
Speaker 3: say that because all.
17:28
Speaker 2: You ever hear is criticism of him.
17:30
Speaker 3: I mean, he is prepared to have the courage to
17:32
Speaker 3: defend his people and strike Iran.
17:35
Speaker 1: Joe.
17:35
Speaker 3: I think it's getting to the point where the Albanizi
17:38
Speaker 3: government can't actually acknowledge that Israel ever does anything right.
17:43
Speaker 10: I think what you're saying is them just trying to
17:45
Speaker 10: be diplomatic and sort of making these motherhood statements, you know,
17:48
Speaker 10: urging restraint, which I know gets a lot of people's
17:50
Speaker 10: back up. And I think you're absolutely right when you
17:52
Speaker 10: say that it's one thing for everyone to urge restraint
17:55
Speaker 10: when you're not the one who has the nuclear warhead
17:57
Speaker 10: pointed directly at you.
17:58
Speaker 1: When you know when it's a question of that's right, well,
18:02
Speaker 1: perhaps we will.
18:03
Speaker 10: But I suppose when you know that, if you know
18:06
Speaker 10: the hypothetical question or the academic question of whether or
18:10
Speaker 10: not Iran has nuclear weapons capability, that moment you find
18:16
Speaker 10: that out is when there is a nuclear warhead headed
18:19
Speaker 10: straight for Tel Aviv and Jerusalem that wipes Israel off
18:22
Speaker 10: the face of the map, and so I think the
18:24
Speaker 10: rest of the world needs to understand that that is
18:27
Speaker 10: how Israel's seeing it and is acting on that basis,
18:30
Speaker 10: and I think it is absolutely right to act on
18:32
Speaker 10: that basis. The other thing I think is that the
18:35
Speaker 10: Iranian leadership is in a whole world of trouble at
18:39
Speaker 10: the moment. I think I was listening to an Israeli
18:43
Speaker 10: commentator saying just the other day that actually Israel and
18:48
Speaker 10: Iran have a common enemy, the Iranian government. The Iranian
18:51
Speaker 10: people despise the regime. I remember seeing a bumper sticker
18:56
Speaker 10: just after the nineteen seventy nine revolution in my home
19:00
Speaker 10: in moments said Ayatola as a whole, and I think
19:04
Speaker 10: that that actually still sums up the mood on the ground.
19:06
Speaker 10: I know Iranians fat to flee from the previous Green Revolution,
19:10
Speaker 10: and again we need to say it doesn't really matter
19:12
Speaker 10: what the Australian government says or does. What matters is
19:15
Speaker 10: what Donald Trump and the Americans say and do. And
19:19
Speaker 10: if Israel needs more military capability to finish the job,
19:23
Speaker 10: than I think the Americans should give it to them,
19:24
Speaker 10: whether they do it covertly or openly or not very good.
19:28
Speaker 7: Well, the problem is the Australian government saying nothing. I
19:31
Speaker 7: mean they're not saying anything, Joe. Where are they around
19:37
Speaker 7: talking about diplomacy? I mean, for goodness sake, I mean
19:40
Speaker 7: I have to have the courage to stand up and
19:42
Speaker 7: be honest about it. It is embarrassing we look weak.
19:46
Speaker 7: And Donald Trump's going to look at Alban Easy on
19:49
Speaker 7: Wednesday morning and whenever it is our time, and he's
19:51
Speaker 7: going to see a weak man. I mean, you can't
19:53
Speaker 7: back away from what they've been saying, Joe. They're not
19:55
Speaker 7: strong enough.
19:56
Speaker 2: No, exactly any nose.
19:57
Speaker 1: He's a weak matter warheads, not words.
20:00
Speaker 10: As the Israeli Foreign minister said, is what's important.
20:03
Speaker 3: He did it, so my good friend and Mia all
20:06
Speaker 3: right well. Alban Easy held a press conference with the
20:08
Speaker 3: Amazon Web Services chief executive Matt Garman on the weekend,
20:12
Speaker 3: and Jeff Chambers from the Australian asked the Amazon boss
20:15
Speaker 3: about nuclear energy. But what's extraordinary is that the Prime
20:19
Speaker 3: Minister try to stop him asking the question.
20:22
Speaker 11: Have a look, is nuclear in addition to renewables something
20:27
Speaker 11: that will be needed to ensure that humanity can get
20:31
Speaker 11: to those next levels?
20:32
Speaker 7: I think to be fair, Jeff asking the US CEO
20:36
Speaker 7: about domestic.
20:40
Speaker 2: Energy policies.
20:41
Speaker 1: It's about data.
20:44
Speaker 12: I'm okay, look, I think you know definitely, the explosion
20:50
Speaker 12: of AI requires a lot of power, and so that's
20:53
Speaker 12: one of the things we're thinking about. I think here
20:55
Speaker 12: in the United States we see nuclear as part of
20:57
Speaker 12: that portfolio.
21:00
Speaker 3: I mean, this is extraordinary, Steve, because now the Prime
21:03
Speaker 3: minister's against free speech, trying to shut down questions.
21:09
Speaker 7: Well, what he didn't want to have, obviously, was a
21:11
Speaker 7: debate about the amount of energy you need to run
21:13
Speaker 7: those massive data centers. And anyone who's followed this at
21:16
Speaker 7: all knows that if you're going to be able to
21:20
Speaker 7: world leader in terms of AI, you need these massive
21:23
Speaker 7: data centers, and we don't have the energy to run them.
21:26
Speaker 7: And if we're going to go net zero and rely
21:29
Speaker 7: on wind turbines and solar panels for our power, we're
21:32
Speaker 7: never going to be able to do that. And you know,
21:34
Speaker 7: the bloke from Amazon could have quite rightly have said
21:37
Speaker 7: right there, well, we do need nuclear to run the
21:40
Speaker 7: sort of energy projects that we want to run. But
21:44
Speaker 7: Anthony Albaneze, he's red lights went off, sien started going
21:48
Speaker 7: off around the room, and he just tried to shut
21:50
Speaker 7: the journo up and hope that the conversation would go
21:53
Speaker 7: in another direction.
21:55
Speaker 3: And luckily the Amazon boss still said what he thought,
21:58
Speaker 3: irrespective of whether Abnezy would like the answer. But Joe,
22:01
Speaker 3: there's also been criticism about labor awarding public contracts to Amazon,
22:05
Speaker 3: and we've read in the paper today that there's a
22:07
Speaker 3: number of labor and peas even ministers who've raised concerns
22:11
Speaker 3: about this.
22:11
Speaker 1: Yeah.
22:12
Speaker 10: Absolutely, and sound MPs as well. So sensible MPs like
22:15
Speaker 10: Tony Sheldon, who is a former National secretary of the
22:19
Speaker 10: Transport Workers Union and Deb O'Neill, who is a very
22:22
Speaker 10: wise woman who is a very strongly connected with the shoppies.
22:27
Speaker 10: The shop distributed of an Allied employees union and that's
22:29
Speaker 10: no coincidence. So you've got transport workers and warehouse workers basically,
22:33
Speaker 10: and they have been copying a really rough time from Amazon.
22:36
Speaker 10: There've been a lot of complaints. They've been claimed that
22:39
Speaker 10: they are managed with an interest for their lives. Absolutely
22:42
Speaker 10: everything they do is timed as their work practices are
22:45
Speaker 10: run by an algorithm to make sure that they're constantly working.
22:49
Speaker 10: They describe having to always be walking or even sort
22:52
Speaker 10: of trotting jogging.
22:54
Speaker 1: Around the warehouse.
22:56
Speaker 10: Some said they don't have time for toilet breaks. They're
23:00
Speaker 10: all casual workers, and of course unions hate that and
23:03
Speaker 10: because that there's a lot of there's no security in
23:07
Speaker 10: that kind of work, and so that the employees are
23:09
Speaker 10: often scared that if they comply and I'll speak up,
23:11
Speaker 10: they just don't get the next shift.
23:13
Speaker 1: Shame.
23:13
Speaker 10: Same as this new Amazon app that the drivers use
23:16
Speaker 10: where it's basically like Uber, so it's just you driving
23:18
Speaker 10: around in your own car and if you've got a
23:20
Speaker 10: few spare minutes, you become an Amazon driver for an
23:23
Speaker 10: hour and a half. Yeah, this is a new thing.
23:25
Speaker 10: So they're upset about that as well. So that is
23:28
Speaker 10: what their complaints are. I'm an Amazon user, I buy
23:30
Speaker 10: stuff from Amazon, and of course all of this is
23:32
Speaker 10: so they can get you that package the next day
23:35
Speaker 10: as they promise, and they brag about yeah, that's right,
23:38
Speaker 10: so that this and they say they brag about being
23:40
Speaker 10: totally cussomer focused, but that does come at the expense
23:43
Speaker 10: of really punishing their workers. That's why the Labyrinth piece
23:46
Speaker 10: are upset.
23:47
Speaker 3: I mean, we've been criticizing the Prime Minister tonight and
23:50
Speaker 3: I really don't want to cover him on the show
23:51
Speaker 3: so much because it annoys me every time I have
23:53
Speaker 3: to watch him speak. But nevertheless, we're going to cover
23:56
Speaker 3: best story that we learn that he's now paid more
24:00
Speaker 3: than Donald Trump, Mark Carney, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel mccron and
24:04
Speaker 3: Christopher Luxen. The Prime Minister has given himself a two
24:08
Speaker 3: point four percent pay rise and his salary is now
24:10
Speaker 3: going from six hundred and seven thousand dollars to six
24:14
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty two thousand dollars, says thanks to the
24:17
Speaker 3: Remuneration Tribunal. So Steve, Donald Trump's on about six hundred
24:23
Speaker 3: and seventeen thousand Australian dollars. But Steve, what I want
24:26
Speaker 3: to know is what is the Prime Minister actually paid for?
24:30
Speaker 2: Is it to make our life worse?
24:34
Speaker 7: Well, I'm going to sound very naive here, but this
24:36
Speaker 7: Renumeration Tribuan it came up with a two point six
24:39
Speaker 7: percent pay rise for every politician, all of them.
24:42
Speaker 1: From the most useless.
24:43
Speaker 7: Backbencher sitting up in the back row whose name you
24:47
Speaker 7: don't know. They're never going to do anything useful in
24:49
Speaker 7: their whole life except sit there and make up the numbers.
24:52
Speaker 7: They all get two point six percent plus we're paying
24:55
Speaker 7: on top of that their superannuation. Plus Anthony Albanzi when
24:59
Speaker 7: he leaves the office is going to have a lifetime
25:02
Speaker 7: pension in six figures. His superannuation is going to be
25:06
Speaker 7: worth over three million. But that's not going to get
25:08
Speaker 7: touched like the rest of the people who are.
25:09
Speaker 1: Going to get touched.
25:10
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm being naive here, but how about a
25:13
Speaker 7: leader who says to the Renumeration Tribunal, we hear what
25:17
Speaker 7: you say, two point six percent, guess what for this
25:21
Speaker 7: term of parliament, we're not going to take it. You
25:23
Speaker 7: keep it, We're not going to take it. We're not
25:25
Speaker 7: going to take that pay rise. I mean, people would
25:28
Speaker 7: fall down in the street of people said if a
25:30
Speaker 7: politician said that, it wouldn't it be a wonderful breath
25:34
Speaker 7: of fresh air to say, we know there's people sleeping
25:36
Speaker 7: tonight in their cars, homeless, people who can't eat their
25:40
Speaker 7: you know, are freezing to death on the streets, we're
25:43
Speaker 7: not going to take your pay rise. Leave it, come
25:46
Speaker 7: back and talk to us in three years time.
25:49
Speaker 2: That would be a good move, wouldn't it.
25:50
Speaker 9: Yeah?
25:51
Speaker 10: I agree, Christ, that's exactly right. I think we want it.
25:53
Speaker 10: You know, if you pay peanutsy get monkeys. So we
25:55
Speaker 10: want our politicians to be rewarded well enough that it's
25:58
Speaker 10: worth their while to cop all the the flak that
26:00
Speaker 10: they do. But yes, I think in times if the
26:03
Speaker 10: rest of the country is suffering, it's just not a
26:05
Speaker 10: good look, even if the actual amount of money isn't
26:07
Speaker 10: huge compared to big spends like Orcus or whatever you want.
26:11
Speaker 10: I think just the look of, you know, of pocketing
26:14
Speaker 10: the pay rise when other people don't even know if
26:16
Speaker 10: they're going to be able to pay their next Morganville
26:18
Speaker 10: is a really bad one. And I think just from
26:20
Speaker 10: a pr perspective, it would just look really good. I'm
26:23
Speaker 10: pretty I think I think the Men's government did.
26:25
Speaker 3: Maybe you should tell Albert to give up some of
26:27
Speaker 3: his folks chosen as you're good made to them, right.
26:30
Speaker 3: We don't hold it against you though. No, thank you
26:32
Speaker 3: around Steve Price, thank you both so much. Well, let's
26:35
Speaker 3: return to Israel's war on Iran's nuclear programs, and it's
26:39
Speaker 3: incredible how incisively Israel carried out the initial strikes using
26:44
Speaker 3: undercover operatives inside Tehran and spy agency Muzard also smuggled
26:49
Speaker 3: in drones and missiles deep into enemy territory. Iran was
26:54
Speaker 3: caught off guard and this element of surprise was crucial.
26:58
Speaker 2: Let's bring it now to.
26:59
Speaker 3: Discuss former British commander Richard Camp who laid British bosses
27:05
Speaker 3: in Iraq and Afghanistan. And Richard Camp is now live
27:08
Speaker 3: from Israel. Colonel, thank you so much for your time.
27:11
Speaker 3: Once again, look what impressed you about Israel's attack and
27:16
Speaker 3: has the nuclear program been damaged enough or our further
27:22
Speaker 3: strikes required.
27:25
Speaker 6: It's a real pleasure to be with you, Shari again.
27:28
Speaker 9: And I should tell you also I've got a bit
27:30
Speaker 9: of an Australia day to day because I've been speaking
27:33
Speaker 9: just now to a large group of Australian young professionals
27:38
Speaker 9: who are visiting Israel to volunteer, which is something that's very,
27:41
Speaker 9: I think, very impressive. As far as the Israeli operation
27:47
Speaker 9: against Iran is concerned. I think it's probably the most
27:51
Speaker 9: impressive military operation that has taken place, probably since the
27:57
Speaker 9: Second World War. It's an extraord which I don't think
28:01
Speaker 9: any other army could have achieved in terms of both
28:04
Speaker 9: the intelligence the long term intelligence preparation for this operation.
28:08
Speaker 9: None of this could have been done without very very
28:10
Speaker 9: successful intelligence penetration of Iran. Secondly, the incredible operational planning
28:16
Speaker 9: that went into it, so that as going into it
28:19
Speaker 9: all the time. I mean, you can imagine how many,
28:21
Speaker 9: how much coordinations, think chronization, it takes to organize multiple
28:27
Speaker 9: daily repeated strikes from the air at such a distance.
28:32
Speaker 9: Of course, all these planes have to be continually refueled
28:35
Speaker 9: and re armed and fly very long distances to achieve it.
28:38
Speaker 9: Just that alone is an amazing achievement. And then, of
28:41
Speaker 9: course the operations on the ground that you mentioned, the
28:45
Speaker 9: phenomenal operations that have been clearly in place there for
28:49
Speaker 9: a long long time, ready to be given the word
28:52
Speaker 9: to initiate. I think the damage that's been done, we
28:57
Speaker 9: none of us know this. It's only really the IDEA
29:00
Speaker 9: that can assess the extent of their damages, and they'll
29:02
Speaker 9: be using all their sources available to be able to
29:06
Speaker 9: make an assessment of how effective it's been.
29:09
Speaker 6: I think they can. You know, they will gauge.
29:15
Speaker 9: The future of this operation on their battle damage assessment,
29:19
Speaker 9: and that means we can't really say how long.
29:21
Speaker 6: It's going to go on for.
29:22
Speaker 9: I don't think even the chief of staff of the
29:25
Speaker 9: IDEF would be able to do now how long it
29:27
Speaker 9: will last.
29:28
Speaker 3: I think this is the critical question, and I know
29:30
Speaker 3: you say it's impossible to know. But the question is
29:33
Speaker 3: whether Israel does need American involvement to completely destroy around
29:38
Speaker 3: nuclear program, and the question of whether Trump is prepared
29:41
Speaker 3: to get involved. What you're hearing on the latest thinking around.
29:45
Speaker 9: This, Well, the first thing I say is I think
29:49
Speaker 9: that the United States and Israel are absolutely lockste over
29:52
Speaker 9: this campaign. Many people want it to be different, many
29:54
Speaker 9: for many people in the US and some in Israel,
29:57
Speaker 9: probably I hope.
29:58
Speaker 6: Very few in Israel who would lo.
30:00
Speaker 9: Like to kind of pretend that the division between the
30:03
Speaker 9: US and Israel is the risen. Israel and President Trump
30:08
Speaker 9: are in lockstep, and the United States has been doing
30:10
Speaker 9: a huge amount of help. Without the United States assistance,
30:14
Speaker 9: Israel would have found it very difficult to launch this
30:17
Speaker 9: operation and keep it going. And for example, in American
30:20
Speaker 9: provision of anti aircraft systems which have shot down a
30:24
Speaker 9: lot of the ballistic missiles coming into Israel, the assistance
30:29
Speaker 9: with munitions daily munitions flow into Israel from the United
30:33
Speaker 9: States intelligence.
30:36
Speaker 3: But to finish the job, America does need to become
30:38
Speaker 3: directly involved.
30:39
Speaker 6: Yes, I'm not one hundred clear on that.
30:45
Speaker 9: I think it would probably make it much more effective
30:47
Speaker 9: if America came in, and I think America might well
30:50
Speaker 9: come in.
30:50
Speaker 6: I don't think we can exclude that possibility.
30:52
Speaker 9: They might after the brunt of the work has been done,
30:56
Speaker 9: they might come and deliver the coup de graphs through
30:58
Speaker 9: bunker busting bomb. But I do believe that Israel, even
31:02
Speaker 9: without that, Israel can set back at least set back
31:05
Speaker 9: this nuclear program by let's say, at least ten years
31:09
Speaker 9: by its actions. But of course US assistance would maybe
31:13
Speaker 9: make it even a much greater effect than the modern
31:17
Speaker 9: Israel can do.
31:18
Speaker 3: I'm hearing different things about Iran's remaining capabilities. They reportedly
31:22
Speaker 3: have the larger stockpile in the Middle East, with over
31:25
Speaker 3: three thousand missiles, but others tell me that there's only
31:29
Speaker 3: several days left that Iran can sustain this onslaught against Israel.
31:34
Speaker 2: Do you know what's correct?
31:40
Speaker 9: I think it's again it's an answer a question that
31:42
Speaker 9: can't really be answered, because, of course, a lot of
31:44
Speaker 9: it depends upon not just on the expenditure rate of
31:48
Speaker 9: missiles from Iran, but also the rate of destruction of
31:51
Speaker 9: missiles by Israel. Both on the ground and in the air,
31:54
Speaker 9: particularly on the ground. I know a lot of efforts
31:56
Speaker 9: gone into that, but I don't think we should look
31:59
Speaker 9: upon this as an on stoat against Israel, because I mean,
32:01
Speaker 9: I've been in numerous in Tel Aviv, particularly in the
32:04
Speaker 9: last two or three nights, when attacks have taken place,
32:08
Speaker 9: fire rom ballistic missiles fired, and of course it's devastating,
32:11
Speaker 9: people going, spending hours in their shelters, tragically, a number
32:16
Speaker 9: of people killed, a lot of destruction of buildings, but.
32:21
Speaker 6: That and I know every single death is tragic.
32:23
Speaker 9: But it's been a relatively small number of deaths, and
32:26
Speaker 9: with the exception of three people, as I understand it,
32:28
Speaker 9: all of those deaths have been people who have not
32:32
Speaker 9: gone and taken shelter when they were in structed to
32:34
Speaker 9: do so.
32:34
Speaker 6: And that doesn't make it any easier.
32:35
Speaker 9: But I think the fact that such a small number
32:39
Speaker 9: of people have been killed during this war so far,
32:41
Speaker 9: it does tell a story about Iran's weakness. And let's
32:46
Speaker 9: hope no more are killed, and you know, we could
32:49
Speaker 9: be facing some devastating situation in the future, but so far,
32:54
Speaker 9: I think one thing that struck me about Iran is
32:56
Speaker 9: how weak it is in its response.
32:58
Speaker 3: And as well report that are unverified that the Ayatola
33:03
Speaker 3: and the leadership have gone into hiding. We don't know
33:06
Speaker 3: quite whether that's true. All right, Colonel Richard Kemp. Always
33:10
Speaker 3: appreciate your insights in the program. Thank you very much.
33:13
Speaker 3: Now still to come leading Israeli News, Anka letelschamesh will
33:16
Speaker 3: join us here in Studio plus Radio. Legend Ray Hadley
33:20
Speaker 3: is back on the desk to talk Net zero, Mark Speakman,
33:24
Speaker 3: Chris Bow and alban Esi and more.
33:26
Speaker 2: He's after this quick break, welcome back.
33:33
Speaker 3: Well after leaving him hanging, President Trump has finally agreed
33:36
Speaker 3: to a meeting with Anthony Albanzi. I'm joined now by
33:40
Speaker 3: broadcasting legend Ray Hadley.
33:42
Speaker 5: Ray.
33:43
Speaker 3: I think it's a bit like a guy who doesn't
33:45
Speaker 3: text back a girl and.
33:47
Speaker 2: Then eventually he's like, all right, all right, let's go
33:49
Speaker 2: on a date.
33:50
Speaker 1: Yeah.
33:51
Speaker 13: I don't think that at the current time that Anthony
33:54
Speaker 13: Albanezi at the G seven in Canada is high on
33:57
Speaker 13: the list of President Trump's priorities.
34:00
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a very short meeting.
34:02
Speaker 13: He'll ask for at action in Taris, he'll talk about Orcus,
34:07
Speaker 13: and I think there are other world leaders in far
34:10
Speaker 13: more prominent positions that all want a bit of the president.
34:14
Speaker 1: I think that's where he'll go.
34:15
Speaker 3: And the President's likely to say to Albanezi that he's
34:18
Speaker 3: got to increase Australia's defense spending as a percentage of GDP.
34:22
Speaker 3: This is something that Albanze is just childishly refusing to do,
34:25
Speaker 3: even though native countries have committed to five percent. You know,
34:29
Speaker 3: we're out of step with the international community now.
34:31
Speaker 1: Well, it's like the.
34:32
Speaker 13: Labor government of pretending what's happening in Israel and Iran
34:35
Speaker 13: isn't happening.
34:36
Speaker 1: I heard you comments lately.
34:37
Speaker 13: With Stephen, particularly about Penny Wong, and you've got to
34:43
Speaker 13: be my generation, or probably before my generation, to remember
34:47
Speaker 13: Neville Chamberlain. He made three visits to Germany in nineteen
34:53
Speaker 13: hundred and thirty eight, between September fifteen September thirty he
34:56
Speaker 13: went there three times, and he came back convinced that
35:00
Speaker 13: Adolph wouldn't do the wrong thing, and in fact announced
35:03
Speaker 13: to the British public, we'll have peace for our time.
35:07
Speaker 13: Five months later, Adolf Hitler invaded Poland and we had
35:10
Speaker 13: the carnage of World War two because of that madman.
35:15
Speaker 13: So Penny Wong must have read some biography about Neville.
35:19
Speaker 13: Chamberlain thought that's a good way to go. Let's decide
35:22
Speaker 13: that the Iranians are really good people, and this business
35:25
Speaker 13: about her contacting her counterpart, the foreign Minister, she'd be
35:29
Speaker 13: blatantly aware, given where she is in life, that homosexuals
35:33
Speaker 13: will put to death. In Iran women can't go out
35:36
Speaker 13: without a kneekab or a he jab on and if
35:39
Speaker 13: they do or show any part of their body from
35:41
Speaker 13: their neck to their feet, they can be put to
35:45
Speaker 13: death effectively, which they are. Homosexuals are frequently hung. And
35:52
Speaker 13: how do you deal with madmen? How do you pick
35:54
Speaker 13: up the phone and say, now, look, we'd like you
35:56
Speaker 13: to consider just pulling back a bit.
35:58
Speaker 1: I mean, you're dealing with ra lunatics. Why waste the call?
36:03
Speaker 3: And also so offensive that she has the call with
36:05
Speaker 3: the Iranian foreign minister before speaking to israel I mean ways,
36:09
Speaker 3: and it has the same message for both sides of
36:12
Speaker 3: the size restraint.
36:14
Speaker 13: From the very first day of all of this, Penny
36:17
Speaker 13: Wong has been on the wrong side of the argument.
36:19
Speaker 13: And one of the great I guess ironies is that
36:22
Speaker 13: this mob weren't punished at the last Federal election for
36:26
Speaker 13: I mean, Israel should have been a really big talking
36:28
Speaker 13: point for the Liberal National Party and the treatment of
36:30
Speaker 13: Israel by people. And I mean, I'm not blaming Pennywang
36:36
Speaker 13: that she's got this perception that everything Israel does must
36:39
Speaker 13: be wrong. It's a perception that's right through the world
36:42
Speaker 13: for some particular reason for.
36:43
Speaker 1: The minority of people as if.
36:46
Speaker 13: I mean, whether it's Sydney University or some other campus
36:49
Speaker 13: across this country, or in the United States of America
36:51
Speaker 13: where young people who have no idea of what happened
36:54
Speaker 13: prior to nineteen ninety nine. You know, A'm marching on
36:59
Speaker 13: the streets. They don't know what's going on. It's so infuriating,
37:02
Speaker 13: I'll tell.
37:02
Speaker 2: You what I mean.
37:04
Speaker 3: This government is so hostile towards Israel and the Jewish
37:07
Speaker 3: that I actually find it hard to live in the
37:09
Speaker 3: country at the moment.
37:10
Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard to deal with it.
37:12
Speaker 13: Well, you're reflecting what many people of the Jewish faith
37:15
Speaker 13: have said to me. The Jewish Board of Deputies, when
37:19
Speaker 13: I was still on air up until December last year,
37:20
Speaker 13: would constantly contact me. And it's not some sort of
37:24
Speaker 13: you know, idle observation that their children don't feel safe.
37:29
Speaker 1: They don't feel safe, their schools.
37:31
Speaker 13: Are under guard, and then you've got the lunacy of people,
37:35
Speaker 13: you know, with the graffiti attacks and Nazi symbols and
37:37
Speaker 13: the rest of it. I mean, it's not the Australia
37:40
Speaker 13: I grew up and I was born in nineteen fifty four,
37:42
Speaker 13: seventy years ago. This is a great country. It's a
37:45
Speaker 13: wonderful place. But we're being let down by minorities who
37:48
Speaker 13: are raving mad.
37:49
Speaker 3: And our leadership are also raving mad. As it turns out,
37:52
Speaker 3: the political leadership, Ray, I want to ask you about
37:54
Speaker 3: the Coalition. They haven't even really begun the debate about
37:58
Speaker 3: net zero. I mean they keep saying and there's going
38:00
Speaker 3: to be a review.
38:01
Speaker 2: It's like they're pushing it off. How are they ever
38:03
Speaker 2: going to revive at a position and what do you
38:05
Speaker 2: think it should be.
38:06
Speaker 13: Take a lead from the New South Wales Nationals. They
38:10
Speaker 13: had a meeting in Coffs Harvat last week. Last Thursday,
38:13
Speaker 13: there was a motion put forward forget about net zero
38:16
Speaker 13: twenty fifty and it was carried by a vast majority.
38:20
Speaker 13: There was cheering and clapping when they carried it. So
38:22
Speaker 13: David Little Proud needs to look at what happened with
38:24
Speaker 13: And this wasn't Googal Saundas making the decision. This was
38:27
Speaker 13: the members of the National Party, the rank and file.
38:31
Speaker 13: And look, I'm not some sort of climate denier, but
38:35
Speaker 13: we can't get where they want to go in the
38:38
Speaker 13: next ten years. We probably can't get there in twenty years.
38:41
Speaker 13: But who knows what happens in twenty five years, twenty fifty.
38:44
Speaker 13: There will be different forms of power we haven't even
38:46
Speaker 13: thought of. I mean, I grew up in the media
38:48
Speaker 13: without a mobile phone. When I first started in the
38:50
Speaker 13: nineteen eighties, there were no computers. We had people writing
38:53
Speaker 13: up news bulletins on typewriters, old fashion type.
38:56
Speaker 2: Ruter so Google.
38:57
Speaker 3: I remember going down to the library and NewsCorp in
38:59
Speaker 3: the basement to look up to get folders on things
39:02
Speaker 3: for the senior journalists.
39:03
Speaker 13: Well, I mean most broadcasters, particularly those notable ones, had
39:07
Speaker 13: a set of Encyclopedia Britannic Are in their office to
39:10
Speaker 13: go and have a look at what happened at varying stages.
39:13
Speaker 1: Now you press a button and you get it all.
39:14
Speaker 1: So the world has evolved. In the forty years old
39:17
Speaker 1: was in the media.
39:18
Speaker 13: And it'll evolve in the next ten and so will energy.
39:21
Speaker 13: It'll all evolve. And this panic at the moment. And
39:24
Speaker 13: there's a story that you haven't touched on. And if
39:27
Speaker 13: I can just take a minute, it's about these electric
39:30
Speaker 13: scooters and bikes. Now, we had a bit of a
39:34
Speaker 13: blitz last week by police and BONDI finding people for
39:37
Speaker 13: no helmets.
39:37
Speaker 1: Speeding and all the rest of it.
39:39
Speaker 13: And everyone thinks that they're wonderful things because they're an
39:42
Speaker 13: affordable made of transport and the kids twelve year old double,
39:46
Speaker 13: their siblings and their friends and all the rest of it.
39:48
Speaker 13: Then they take kind of lifting battery and plug it in.
39:50
Speaker 13: If you live in Sydney, the power comes from coal
39:53
Speaker 13: fired power stations, and so does the power that powers
39:56
Speaker 13: the Tesla's.
39:57
Speaker 1: I mean it's it does my head in I know anyway,
40:00
Speaker 1: we're touching on it. I digress as I often.
40:03
Speaker 3: I've often spoken about the difficulties of cyclists on the road.
40:08
Speaker 2: But story for another day.
40:11
Speaker 3: Next we'll be on to recycling that it'll be on
40:13
Speaker 3: my pet.
40:15
Speaker 13: We'll be in taptit agreement about everything, boy or anything
40:19
Speaker 13: between you and mood.
40:20
Speaker 3: Now, Ray, I can't go before you tell us about
40:22
Speaker 3: the Golden I mean you are being credited with personally
40:26
Speaker 3: raising an extraordinary amount of money with the touching story
40:32
Speaker 3: of little Ola.
40:33
Speaker 13: It look it's very kind of people who have said
40:35
Speaker 13: all of this over the course of the weekend.
40:38
Speaker 1: For those of you in other parts of Australia, they.
40:40
Speaker 13: Have a gold in the annually where they've raised tens
40:43
Speaker 13: of millions of dollars for the Sydney Children's Hospital network,
40:46
Speaker 13: being Westmead and ram With and they break a record
40:50
Speaker 13: this year with eighty three point four million dollars in
40:54
Speaker 13: one night. I did the auction. There were four lots
40:57
Speaker 13: that brought incredible money. There was generality you've never seen before.
41:01
Speaker 13: I'd just give you one example of the generosity. Christina clearly,
41:05
Speaker 13: the CEO, the former premier, gets up and says, right
41:07
Speaker 13: HEO for five hundred thousand dollars, this is what you'll
41:10
Speaker 13: do for one of these children's hospital. Could be a thea,
41:12
Speaker 13: there could be something very important in terms of technology.
41:16
Speaker 13: So people put their hands up. And I walked up
41:18
Speaker 13: to this lovely young lady, a lady of Chinese birth obviously,
41:22
Speaker 13: but an Australian citizen, and I put the microphone to
41:25
Speaker 13: her and said, what would you like to do. She said,
41:27
Speaker 13: I'd like to give five hundred thousand dollars. Wow, I
41:29
Speaker 13: know you fell over, so I said, that's.
41:31
Speaker 1: Most kind of you. What's your name?
41:33
Speaker 13: And she identified herself, and then the young lady sitting
41:35
Speaker 13: next to her, obviously her friend tapped me on the
41:37
Speaker 13: arm and I said, yes, I'd like to give five
41:40
Speaker 13: hundred thousand dollars as well, I mean. And that set
41:42
Speaker 13: the agenda for the rest of the night. And corners
41:46
Speaker 13: were very generous. There's a club in southwestern Sydney, also
41:49
Speaker 13: on the northern beaches, also on the central coast called
41:51
Speaker 13: Mounties thirteen and a half million dollars.
41:53
Speaker 1: They gave such.
41:54
Speaker 3: Wonderful generosity and for you wouldn't find a more worthy cause.
41:58
Speaker 1: Rate one hundred percent.
41:59
Speaker 2: So much your time, Thanks a lot, See you next time,
42:01
Speaker 2: next time.
42:02
Speaker 3: All right, So to come the shocking political assassination of
42:05
Speaker 3: an American politician. We'll talk about this with Koshergata plus
42:09
Speaker 3: Israeli news anchor Litel Chamesh will speak about.
42:12
Speaker 2: Life under Iranian assault. That's next. Welcome back.
42:19
Speaker 3: We'll joining me now live in studio is Israeli news
42:22
Speaker 3: anchor Littel Chamesh, who is currently in Australia and Littel,
42:27
Speaker 3: you're here on holiday when the war hit, so you
42:30
Speaker 3: obviously can't go back home at the moment.
42:31
Speaker 2: The airport's closed.
42:33
Speaker 3: Obviously all of your friends and family colleagues are in Israel.
42:37
Speaker 2: This is unprecedented for Israelis.
42:39
Speaker 3: Having the Iron Dome not able to intercept all of
42:43
Speaker 3: the missiles. How is Israel coping without emotionally.
42:47
Speaker 8: Speaking, Yeah, it's I have to say, it's hard to
42:50
Speaker 8: be here whilst my friends and family are over there
42:54
Speaker 8: experiencing the war. And as you said, the Iron Dome
42:56
Speaker 8: is not intercepting all the missiles because Iran is barraging
43:02
Speaker 8: fifty rockets at a time, sixty rockets at a time,
43:04
Speaker 8: and obviously the Arundom cannot intercept that amount. And yeah,
43:09
Speaker 8: we've seen twenty four Israelis were mortared so far from
43:13
Speaker 8: those rockets. We're talking about direct heats into highly populated areas, buildings.
43:21
Speaker 8: Over six hundred wounded people were wounded in those targeting,
43:25
Speaker 8: So yeah, it's very sad to see.
43:28
Speaker 3: We've been speaking tonight about whether America will get involved
43:32
Speaker 3: and whether it's essential that they do in order to
43:34
Speaker 3: completely destroy around nuclear program.
43:37
Speaker 2: What's your view on this.
43:38
Speaker 8: I think at the end of the day, America has
43:41
Speaker 8: to step in in order to completely destroy the nuclear
43:46
Speaker 8: facilities of Iran. And we're talking specifically about the four
43:49
Speaker 8: Doah facility, which is eighty ninety meters underground, and Israel
43:56
Speaker 8: doesn't have the necessary bombs in order to take down
44:01
Speaker 8: that nuclear facility. America does. We're talking about shelter bomber shelter.
44:08
Speaker 3: But Israel did hit photo today I read, but we
44:12
Speaker 3: just don't know the extent of the damage to it.
44:15
Speaker 8: We don't know the extent, and we need the specific
44:18
Speaker 8: thirteen tons bombs in order to reach that facility. So
44:23
Speaker 8: I think America would have to step in at the
44:26
Speaker 8: end of the day. Iran is threatening, not just Israel,
44:29
Speaker 8: threatening America and threatening the free world basically.
44:32
Speaker 3: Indeed, look, there's also the question of regime change, whether
44:36
Speaker 3: this is something that's possible.
44:38
Speaker 2: Of course it would be welcome.
44:39
Speaker 3: But Netanyahu today in his interview with Fox News made
44:42
Speaker 3: the point that ultimately that is up to Iranians.
44:45
Speaker 8: That is up to Iranians. And I think it's not
44:48
Speaker 8: just israel interest to see revolution in Iran. It's the
44:53
Speaker 8: Uranian people and the free world. We remember around the seventies,
44:58
Speaker 8: Israel had a peace agreement with Iran, had an embassy
45:01
Speaker 8: in Iran, women had equal rights, women were liberated, and
45:06
Speaker 8: I'm really hoping for the Iranian people to see a
45:10
Speaker 8: different regime, to see a liberal regime. This whole war
45:17
Speaker 8: started where Iran decided to orchestrate it October seventh. Iran
45:23
Speaker 8: is the one orchestrating. Managing is what happened in October seven,
45:28
Speaker 8: funding Hamas in the Gaza strip, managing Isabella up north,
45:33
Speaker 8: the Yemens, the hoodies in Yemens are firing rockets at
45:37
Speaker 8: Israel at the moments. Or Israel is fighting all those
45:40
Speaker 8: battles not just for the sake of Israel, but for
45:43
Speaker 8: the sake of free world people who want to live
45:46
Speaker 8: in prosperity, democracies, who want to flourish. And I think
45:50
Speaker 8: the word should just speak grateful for what Israel is
45:52
Speaker 8: doing at the moment.
45:54
Speaker 3: When you look at Israel's strategy militarily in this war,
45:58
Speaker 3: I mean, it's been.
45:59
Speaker 2: Very clever, hasn't it.
46:00
Speaker 3: They dealt with Hermas first, Hesbela, and then when Iran's
46:06
Speaker 3: proxies were taken out. It's only now that they're dealing
46:09
Speaker 3: directly with Tehran, and if they hadn't have taken out
46:12
Speaker 3: the proxies, it would be a much more difficult fight
46:14
Speaker 3: because you'd have Hesbela sending missiles and rockets across as well.
46:19
Speaker 3: So saneta Ya who and his advisor is the strategy here,
46:22
Speaker 3: I think has been really smart.
46:24
Speaker 8: One percent, one hundred percent. And at the end of
46:27
Speaker 8: the day, we had to strike the nuclear facilities aver
46:30
Speaker 8: i Wan because Iran was just weeks from reaching those
46:34
Speaker 8: bombs who could have eliminated the straight of Israel and
46:37
Speaker 8: what we're seeing now in this war would have been
46:41
Speaker 8: ten times one hundred times worse if Iran would get
46:45
Speaker 8: nuclear heads. So Saudi Arabia and the Emirates baherin America
46:51
Speaker 8: are now thanking Israel for what Israel is doing in
46:54
Speaker 8: Iran at the moment.
46:56
Speaker 3: All right, little thank you so rach AND's so wonderful
46:58
Speaker 3: to have you here in and even though of course
47:01
Speaker 3: you're desperately missing your family, so great to meet you
47:05
Speaker 3: in person.
47:05
Speaker 8: Thank you so much.
47:06
Speaker 3: Now, coming up, the man arrested over the assassination of
47:09
Speaker 3: an American politician. That's with Kosher Gada next, welcome back, Well,
47:18
Speaker 3: let's bring in now Sky News contributor Kosher Gada. Kosher
47:22
Speaker 3: police have arrested Advanced Bolt. He suspected a fatally shooting
47:26
Speaker 3: state Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband and wounding Senator
47:30
Speaker 3: John Hoffman and his spouse in a separate attack. Now
47:33
Speaker 3: it's alleged he dressed up as a police officer to
47:36
Speaker 3: gain access to the homes.
47:37
Speaker 2: Kosher, What more do we know about this?
47:42
Speaker 14: So fats are still obviously unfolding pretty rapidly here, but
47:46
Speaker 14: there are some curious ones that emerge. So one is
47:49
Speaker 14: he did dress up and impersonate a police officer, So
47:51
Speaker 14: it sounds like a lot of premeditation and nefarious planning. Allegedly,
47:56
Speaker 14: there is a notebook that was found in his possession
47:59
Speaker 14: that has a target list of other leaders potentially that
48:02
Speaker 14: he had in mind as going after that. Those names
48:05
Speaker 14: have not been officially released right now, but I understand
48:07
Speaker 14: they're being reported to those individuals privately. And also what's
48:11
Speaker 14: curious is the target This person that he did assassinate
48:14
Speaker 14: the state senator from Minnesota and her husband. Just hours
48:17
Speaker 14: before that, she sort of gave a speech about voting
48:20
Speaker 14: for a bill and she was the one lone Democrat
48:22
Speaker 14: who voted on the side of Republicans against holding back
48:25
Speaker 14: free funding and different things for immigrants in that community,
48:27
Speaker 14: which is a hot button issue right now. So who
48:29
Speaker 14: knows that it is politically motivated. Who knows if it
48:31
Speaker 14: was specifically that issue or something else. But he sounds
48:34
Speaker 14: like a very disturbed individual, And sadly, these kinds of
48:37
Speaker 14: political attacks really seem to be on the rise.
48:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just so terrible to say that these keep happening.
48:44
Speaker 2: Kosher.
48:45
Speaker 3: The US had another wave of protests over the weekend,
48:47
Speaker 3: the No Kings protest aimed at Trump.
48:49
Speaker 2: Amid the military parade.
48:51
Speaker 3: I mean, Kosha, what exactly were these protests over and
48:54
Speaker 3: did they reign on the parade so to speak?
48:59
Speaker 2: I don't think I think they did.
49:00
Speaker 14: They kind of look a little bit sort of sad
49:02
Speaker 14: and lackluster compared to just the magnanimous nature of the
49:06
Speaker 14: parade and the might of the US military and all
49:09
Speaker 14: that that was celebrating. I think it was sort of
49:11
Speaker 14: a hodge pot of different issues, but they all ultimately
49:14
Speaker 14: do the common vector that they train in on is
49:16
Speaker 14: Trump and his policy agenda. No King, meaning, you know,
49:20
Speaker 14: the parades happened to coincide with Trump's birthday, and so
49:23
Speaker 14: some take the view that it's a very self aggrandizing
49:25
Speaker 14: thing for him to do, and they're trying to push
49:27
Speaker 14: back on that. Some of them are protesting immigration policy,
49:30
Speaker 14: mass deportations, you know, various things that he's doing. But
49:34
Speaker 14: I think, you know, it's a very divided country right now,
49:36
Speaker 14: and his agenda, while very popular, does have a very
49:40
Speaker 14: strong opposition to it, and so it makes sense that
49:42
Speaker 14: these types of protests are going to spill out and continue.
49:45
Speaker 2: To All right, Kosha, thank you so much tonight. I
49:47
Speaker 2: really appreciate it. And that's all we've got time for today.
49:50
Speaker 3: I'll see you tomorrow at eight o'clock and it's going
49:52
Speaker 3: to be another big show. Obviously, the war Israe's war
49:56
Speaker 3: against Iran continues. I'm going to have more big guests
49:58
Speaker 3: on tomorrow nights, so don't miss it.
50:00
Speaker 2: And he is Pomari
