Speaker 1: This is the reform It.
0:14
Speaker 2: Tonight, Big Show, Bunaby, Joyce, Patrick Christie's the Panel and more,
0:18
Speaker 2: including a terrible admission of failure about our federal treasurer.
0:23
Speaker 2: Plus something I think that's important, that is special. You
0:27
Speaker 2: hear so much panic about this war in Iran, you
0:30
Speaker 2: will be ruined. Trump's got no idea what he's doing.
0:32
Speaker 2: It's a disaster. Well, tonight you'll hear what's really going on,
0:36
Speaker 2: what the plans really are, from a man who was
0:40
Speaker 2: consulted by Donald Trump, brief by the Israelis. This might
0:44
Speaker 2: change your mind, But first you know, it's no wonder
0:49
Speaker 2: that one nation is on the rise. What we're seeing
0:52
Speaker 2: right now is a failure of the political class. The inflation,
0:56
Speaker 2: the cost of living crisis, terrible growth, mass immigration out
1:00
Speaker 2: of control, and now this panic about petrol. Well, the
1:04
Speaker 2: premise of today got the premiers together for a national
1:06
Speaker 2: cabinet to look at that, to look like he was
1:09
Speaker 2: at least doing something about it, and he came out
1:12
Speaker 2: to announce that the shortages you see are actually your fault.
1:16
Speaker 2: In fact, there are no petrol shortages at all. Nevertheless,
1:20
Speaker 2: it was still appointing of fuel Tar to fix it.
1:23
Speaker 3: He said Australia had enough fuel, But how can you
1:26
Speaker 3: say that when petrol stations are running out?
1:29
Speaker 2: That can't be true.
1:30
Speaker 4: There is not less fuel in Australia today than there
1:32
Speaker 4: was three weeks ago. This is an issue has been
1:36
Speaker 4: an issue of increased demand.
1:40
Speaker 2: Now there's something interesting about this fuel tar. It's Anthea Harris,
1:44
Speaker 2: whose career has actually been built on getting rid of
1:47
Speaker 2: fossil fuels like petrol, not getting more of them, but
1:53
Speaker 2: perfect choices.
1:54
Speaker 4: Albanizi, So I can't think of anyone better with more experience,
1:59
Speaker 4: more knowledge, as well as that experience in a state
2:03
Speaker 4: government to be able to coordinate these efforts.
2:10
Speaker 2: Really, Harris is actually a global warming bureaucrat who for
2:14
Speaker 2: more than a decade has told us to emit less
2:18
Speaker 2: to save the plant from a global warming. She's somehow
2:20
Speaker 2: convinced as a terrible threat. Here she is back when
2:24
Speaker 2: she headed the Climate Change Authority, telling Australians cut your
2:28
Speaker 2: emissions even harder.
2:30
Speaker 5: But it's very much in Australia's national interest to support
2:35
Speaker 5: international efforts to try and limit warming to two degrees
2:38
Speaker 5: above pre industrial levels. Australia to do more than its
2:42
Speaker 5: minimum five percent.
2:45
Speaker 2: Here is Harris again six years ago, which was working
2:47
Speaker 2: for Victoria's socialist left labor government charged with slashing emissions
2:53
Speaker 2: caused by terrible fossil fuels like you.
2:55
Speaker 5: Know, petrol, And I'm very happy to be here to
2:59
Speaker 5: tell you that the Victorian government takes the issue of
3:02
Speaker 5: climate change extremely seriously and is actually taking a lot
3:06
Speaker 5: of action to try and deal with it.
3:12
Speaker 1: Now.
3:12
Speaker 2: That action she was praising there included tough restrictions on
3:17
Speaker 2: petroleum exploration and a permanent ban on unconventional techniques like
3:22
Speaker 2: fracking to drill for it, with Harris right into politicians
3:26
Speaker 2: warning some studies appointed to high potential for greenhouse gas
3:30
Speaker 2: emissions from unconventional gas extraction. Look, of course, this mess
3:36
Speaker 2: is not a fault. It's competent, and maybe she'll even
3:40
Speaker 2: do a good job. I don't know, but look where
3:43
Speaker 2: we are now, especially with this war blocking gas and
3:48
Speaker 2: oil exports from the Persian Gulf. We're freaking none of
3:52
Speaker 2: oil and gas for ourselves. None enough refineries to turn
3:55
Speaker 2: oil into petrol, not enough gas kept for ourselves to
3:59
Speaker 2: turn into not enough cheap electricity to make stuff ourselves,
4:03
Speaker 2: instead of depending on what we can ship in through
4:05
Speaker 2: any blockades or whatever.
4:08
Speaker 1: But don't worry.
4:09
Speaker 2: The government's now switching a global warming bureaucrat from getting
4:14
Speaker 2: rid of fossil fuels to finding more for you, which
4:19
Speaker 2: might think is rather ironic or perhaps actually symbolic. You know,
4:26
Speaker 2: I hear climate activists just say, oh no, no, but here, look,
4:29
Speaker 2: people like Anthea Harris and Anthony abern Easy and the Greens,
4:33
Speaker 2: they were right, We've got to get rid of fossil fuels.
4:36
Speaker 2: And then it wouldn't matter if there was no oil
4:38
Speaker 2: coming in from the Gulf except for this. Of course,
4:41
Speaker 2: you get rid of it every single petrol car in
4:44
Speaker 2: the country.
4:44
Speaker 1: Imagine that we did bang all gone.
4:47
Speaker 2: As Aiden Morrison the Center for Independent Studies points out,
4:49
Speaker 2: that would simply cut out all use by just one quarter.
4:53
Speaker 1: We still need diesel for our miners and for our farmers, an.
4:58
Speaker 2: Aviation fuel for our place because let me know whether
5:01
Speaker 2: there's going to be an electricity you know, electric tractor
5:04
Speaker 2: or an electric plane. And of course if we did
5:08
Speaker 2: all that, we all drove electric cars. Would need a
5:12
Speaker 2: lot more gas and coal for all that extra electricity
5:15
Speaker 2: for those electric cars. And Anthea Harrison Anthony Albanezi have
5:19
Speaker 2: worked so hard.
5:21
Speaker 1: Against getting that.
5:25
Speaker 2: But oops, what arepalling timing when we need more coal
5:30
Speaker 2: for all these electric cars or whatever. The new South
5:32
Speaker 2: Wales labor governments are about to ban new coal mines
5:36
Speaker 2: on new sites, greenfield sites, ban as sinful a cheap
5:42
Speaker 2: and reliable source of energy. I mean, how mad is
5:45
Speaker 2: that we're banning everything that could make us an energy superpower.
5:49
Speaker 2: We could tell the rest of the world, you know,
5:51
Speaker 2: go jump, We're banning coal and gas and oil and nuclear.
5:56
Speaker 2: We can't use these things. They're all sinful. And now
5:59
Speaker 2: banning these new minds when we're seeing right now how
6:03
Speaker 2: dumb we've been to deny ourselves more oil and the
6:06
Speaker 2: refineries that turn it into petrol ideas of consequences, and
6:12
Speaker 2: we're now living through just one consequence of the global
6:16
Speaker 2: warming madness that has for so long possessed our political class,
6:20
Speaker 2: both Labor and the liberals. I've said One nation is
6:28
Speaker 2: on the rise, and on Saturday we'll see how real
6:31
Speaker 2: that rise of the polls is. We'll see it in
6:35
Speaker 2: South Australia in the state election. There will these one
6:39
Speaker 2: nation sports actually turn up. Will they get the preferences
6:42
Speaker 2: to tip some of these seats that they're leading in
6:45
Speaker 2: into actually a victory, because if you don't get the preferences,
6:49
Speaker 2: you won't get it. Poulin Hansen was there today again
6:53
Speaker 2: campaigning for One Nation, which is now second in the
6:55
Speaker 2: polls behind labor.
6:58
Speaker 6: Health is the biggest issue facing the state. Of course,
7:01
Speaker 6: are accommodation, housing, rental accommodation. Mass migration does have an
7:06
Speaker 6: issue here because you can't get rental accommodation. You've got
7:09
Speaker 6: aiding percent of the children in the state living in poverty.
7:12
Speaker 6: That's disgraceful, so so many things. Let's try and get
7:18
Speaker 6: the hospital sorted out in the ramping.
7:22
Speaker 2: I thought it was interesting that Labour Premier Peter Melanowska
7:24
Speaker 2: is even seeing today to be treating One Nation as
7:27
Speaker 2: his biggest rival, not the Liberals. He attacked Hanson today
7:31
Speaker 2: with one of those typical labor cheap shots, you know,
7:34
Speaker 2: going personal, trying to make a big deal of Hanson
7:37
Speaker 2: using a plane loan to her by mining billionaire Geena
7:40
Speaker 2: Renart to fly around the state meeting voters.
7:44
Speaker 7: Pauline Hanson is traveling around on the private plane of
7:48
Speaker 7: the richest person in Australia, and that says to me that,
7:52
Speaker 7: you know, it's not really sincere about the whole thing
7:55
Speaker 7: being for battlers. But these hypocrites flying around on private
7:58
Speaker 7: planes owned by the richest people in the tree.
8:01
Speaker 8: That's that's one thing.
8:02
Speaker 7: But having actual no plan or policy for the future
8:05
Speaker 7: of the state, that in my assessment, that's unforgivable.
8:10
Speaker 9: Yeah.
8:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, bloken sharp suit representing labor voters here, how hypocrite
8:16
Speaker 2: is it? Hypocritical is supposed to be hitching a free ride?
8:19
Speaker 2: I mean, seriously, joining me is our regular Thursday commentated
8:23
Speaker 2: One Nation MP Bunnaby Joyce the form of Dippley Prime
8:26
Speaker 2: Minister Bunnaby Joyce, great to see you again, Pauline hands
8:29
Speaker 2: and being flown around in a jet loaned out by
8:30
Speaker 2: Gena royan Hart now the premier record today. Oh that's
8:34
Speaker 2: that's terrible your response.
8:37
Speaker 10: Yeah, Gina Reinhart. The biggest taxpayer in Australia by far
8:41
Speaker 10: actually leaves pays tax in Australia. And I suppose Peter
8:46
Speaker 10: malnow because when he flies around, whose plan does he
8:50
Speaker 10: fly around on our recordless the taxpayers playing? He's happy
8:53
Speaker 10: to put it on your jet. He's quite happy to
8:57
Speaker 10: bang the price on to the taxpayer. Now, if a
9:00
Speaker 10: private individual who's the biggest taxpayer in Australia wishes to
9:04
Speaker 10: fly another individual around and save the taxpayer money. Where
9:09
Speaker 10: lies the problem with that? Apart from jealousy, you know?
9:12
Speaker 10: And you know I thought melan Archus was bigger than this,
9:15
Speaker 10: but he's you know, it's all like, oh, one nation's
9:18
Speaker 10: a bit of a threat. So I'll go, oh, they're rich,
9:21
Speaker 10: and you know, I'm with the working man. I mean,
9:23
Speaker 10: have a look at him, the working man, for God's sake,
9:26
Speaker 10: I mean this. You know, he's a good looking guy,
9:29
Speaker 10: isn't He's give baby?
9:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know, but this is the patty
9:35
Speaker 2: that's given us labor millionaires like Paul Keating and Bob
9:38
Speaker 2: Hawk and you know Kevin Rudd one of the richest
9:41
Speaker 2: men politics.
9:43
Speaker 1: Back by Andrew Forrest.
9:45
Speaker 11: It's just it's it's so pyile, you know.
9:50
Speaker 10: But you know, if someone must say money, I'd say
9:53
Speaker 10: good luck to them.
9:56
Speaker 2: What's the minimum result you're looking for on Saturday? Do
10:00
Speaker 2: you think for you to say, look, one nation has
10:04
Speaker 2: passed the test?
10:07
Speaker 10: Okay, well, I think the proportionality test will be in
10:10
Speaker 10: the Upper House in South Australia. So let's see how
10:13
Speaker 10: many seats I get there. Obviously in their House representatives
10:16
Speaker 10: in their lower House. What you're going to see is
10:19
Speaker 10: a whole heap of people preferencing against one nation. Why
10:23
Speaker 10: do they preference against one nation because they're fearful of
10:26
Speaker 10: one nation?
10:26
Speaker 1: They don't like one nation.
10:28
Speaker 10: One nation is an alternative, and it's an alternative that
10:31
Speaker 10: has grown organically, not so much from Paul en Hanson
10:34
Speaker 10: or in a lesser way myself, from the Australian people
10:37
Speaker 10: and the South Australian people themselves. They are they're over it.
10:42
Speaker 10: Australian people are over it. They're sick of it. We've
10:44
Speaker 10: got energy crisis and electricity crisis.
10:47
Speaker 8: The people are poorer.
10:48
Speaker 10: They're paying through the nose for power, and then they
10:50
Speaker 10: double up. Now we're paying through the nose for petrol.
10:53
Speaker 10: Why because we've kind of save the planet, don't we
10:57
Speaker 10: stop the carbon emissions, closed down your refineries, the safeguard mechanism.
11:02
Speaker 10: And then of course you've got by reason of that,
11:04
Speaker 10: you've got pensioners who are driven from you know, destitution
11:08
Speaker 10: into absolute poverty.
11:10
Speaker 1: And this is this is no good.
11:12
Speaker 10: People are unhappy about this, and they're they're showing their
11:16
Speaker 10: unhappiness by changing their vote.
11:19
Speaker 11: We're really we're clear on my thing.
11:21
Speaker 8: Get rid of the.
11:21
Speaker 10: Climate Change Department, get rid of all this climate policy
11:25
Speaker 10: that has made Australians so much poorer.
11:27
Speaker 12: We haven't changed that.
11:29
Speaker 10: We really haven't have a lot. It's about where we
11:31
Speaker 10: left it.
11:32
Speaker 1: But you're poorer.
11:34
Speaker 10: You're a lot purer now. And when we try to
11:37
Speaker 10: get those cattle you can't see them, but they're after
11:40
Speaker 10: the wolbook stampede tomorrow from this place to the Saleyards,
11:46
Speaker 10: to the feed likes in Avatoire, to your shelf, so
11:49
Speaker 10: you can eat it. It's now going to cost a
11:51
Speaker 10: lot more money. And so when you were able to
11:55
Speaker 10: afford I know, I do why bone steaks? I know
11:58
Speaker 10: a m I've been high in the hold and go yourself,
12:00
Speaker 10: run stak t bone steak. And then he went down
12:03
Speaker 10: to mince. But you're on your way to check peas
12:06
Speaker 10: and our falphabones.
12:09
Speaker 2: Look, I gotta cut you off because your animals are
12:12
Speaker 2: telling you clearly you haven't fed them.
12:15
Speaker 1: You should have done it before we went on air.
12:17
Speaker 2: I'm hearing a cacophony of animals saying, feed me, barnaby,
12:20
Speaker 2: feed me. Why are you back on the farm instead
12:24
Speaker 2: of in South Australia helping.
12:27
Speaker 1: Okay, that's right, you in South Australia helping the win.
12:32
Speaker 10: Because the biggest issue in my local district for me,
12:34
Speaker 10: for our family this weekend is the Woolbrook Stampede. It's
12:37
Speaker 10: a camp draft and it's a bushman's basically a bushman's
12:41
Speaker 10: festivals predominantly for people who work on the land rather
12:45
Speaker 10: than the big professionals. Our family provide the majority of
12:49
Speaker 10: the stock that he works on the stalls up there.
12:53
Speaker 10: We've already been cutting firewood for him. And this is
12:56
Speaker 10: for my local district and all politics as locals the
12:59
Speaker 10: big thing. I'll tell you what, if I want to
13:01
Speaker 10: lose a heap of votes, this is how I do it.
13:04
Speaker 10: Whilst at the Woolbrook Stampede they turn on the television
13:07
Speaker 10: and see me in South Australia. There goes a lot
13:11
Speaker 10: of votes and yeah, I love it. This is how
13:13
Speaker 10: our family support. That sounds good, Dannaby. Yeah, but you
13:20
Speaker 10: worrying about the local votes. Tell me you haven't shut
13:22
Speaker 10: off the option.
13:23
Speaker 2: After all, you said you're going to run in the
13:24
Speaker 2: Senate in the next selection, and maybe you want to
13:27
Speaker 2: stay where you are and win this seat. If one
13:29
Speaker 2: nation's vote holds up the federal government. I'll tell you
13:34
Speaker 2: what the Energy Minister Chris Bowe this afternoon said, you've
13:37
Speaker 2: got petrol retailers series release some of their reserves for
13:40
Speaker 2: the country outlets, especially here.
13:42
Speaker 3: He is.
13:46
Speaker 13: We would release around twenty percent of our petrol and
13:49
Speaker 13: diesel reserves on the condition that those companies that are
13:54
Speaker 13: required under law to hold the reserves in Australia work
13:57
Speaker 13: with the government to ensure flow of that petrol and diesel,
14:01
Speaker 13: in particular to the regional areas that are experiencing particular shortages.
14:06
Speaker 13: On Please to say now that five hundred and nineteen
14:10
Speaker 13: medion leaders of petrol and diesel has now been released
14:13
Speaker 13: and being directed into regional Australia.
14:17
Speaker 1: Look, Barnaby.
14:19
Speaker 2: On the face of it, I would be supportive of that.
14:22
Speaker 2: But then the release of twenty percent of the fuel
14:24
Speaker 2: that we keep for a rainy day, this is further
14:29
Speaker 2: going to drain the tiny reserves we keep under this government.
14:32
Speaker 2: When you look at the reserves held by comparable economies,
14:34
Speaker 2: you got the Netherlands on top of a year's worth plus,
14:38
Speaker 2: You've got Japan six months worth of fuel. You've got
14:41
Speaker 2: Germany about four months of fuel. Right at the bottom,
14:44
Speaker 2: there's Australia just over eight months worth of fuel for
14:48
Speaker 2: a rainy day. Do you support releasing twenty percent of
14:51
Speaker 2: that reserve now?
14:52
Speaker 1: Given that all that, well, not.
14:55
Speaker 10: Even that, I mean they're giving you the I think
14:57
Speaker 10: it's the MOB figures, the International A, the agency figure's
15:01
Speaker 10: about twenty four days and it's gone down a lot
15:03
Speaker 10: since then. What we've seen Australia has oil. Your nation
15:07
Speaker 10: has oil. You have oil, and we're not allowed under
15:11
Speaker 10: green legislation to basically take it out of the ground,
15:13
Speaker 10: as so many regulations. And then you're not allowed to
15:16
Speaker 10: refine it because because the kiddies come home and say
15:19
Speaker 10: you'll instantaneously combusted. And so now what you've got up
15:22
Speaker 10: in Walker three bucks a letter for diesel up at
15:25
Speaker 10: Walker today and that all goes on the price of
15:28
Speaker 10: those cattle, which goes on the price of your food,
15:30
Speaker 10: make no mistake about that, and the price of electricity
15:33
Speaker 10: on the way through.
15:34
Speaker 1: We have not been prepared for this.
15:36
Speaker 10: We as a nation should be more blessed than anybody
15:38
Speaker 10: else to wide this one out was always going to
15:40
Speaker 10: be a crisis.
15:42
Speaker 8: Let you go away.
15:43
Speaker 2: Your cattle are making a run for it your cattle
15:46
Speaker 2: have given up on you feeding them that Hey, barnaby,
15:49
Speaker 2: they're making a stampede for the next door neighbors, so
15:52
Speaker 2: you better, you better go and get them back before
15:55
Speaker 2: you got nothing to send to the market.
15:57
Speaker 1: Bataby Joyce, thank you so much, indeed for your time.
16:02
Speaker 2: That is about the noises interview I've.
16:04
Speaker 1: Done for a while. Next time we'll make sure it's
16:07
Speaker 1: fed the cows for you.
16:08
Speaker 2: After the break, Israel kills another top Arrangian official, But
16:12
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk to an insider who knows what's
16:14
Speaker 2: coming next. I mean people telling you there's no plan,
16:18
Speaker 2: and alban easy today saying let this war be over now.
16:21
Speaker 2: They have got no idea. Iran hasn't actually hit a
16:29
Speaker 2: ship in the straight up the moors for seven days now.
16:32
Speaker 2: But even so, virtually no oil tankerdes goes go through
16:35
Speaker 2: that channel that used to carry twenty percent of the
16:38
Speaker 2: world's all exports treasure. Jim Charms thatday, reckons that even
16:42
Speaker 2: if this keeps, if this keeps going, even if oil stays,
16:46
Speaker 2: then are just over one hundred dollars a barrel for
16:48
Speaker 2: a few months where it is about now inflation. He
16:51
Speaker 2: is going to jump to four and a half percent,
16:54
Speaker 2: and if the oil price goes higher, inflation could even
16:56
Speaker 2: hit five percent. Yet Australian the rest of the refused
17:00
Speaker 2: to help the US in Israel protect shipping in that
17:04
Speaker 2: strait Upromus to let that oil flow again. So I
17:08
Speaker 2: have to give Australian journalist Latika Burke huge credit for asking.
17:13
Speaker 2: I think it's the question of the year, actually asking
17:16
Speaker 2: it of Finland's President Alexander Stood, a golfing partner of
17:20
Speaker 2: Donald Trump.
17:22
Speaker 14: Just falling on from that and your point about indulging
17:24
Speaker 14: in real politic, Now, why doesn't you go to Trump
17:29
Speaker 14: and say, if you want assistance in the golf, here's
17:32
Speaker 14: what we want you to do on Ukraine.
17:37
Speaker 2: Stip said that was an excellent idea actually, and he
17:40
Speaker 2: asked for Latika's phone number not to date it for
17:43
Speaker 2: more such great ideas, and he said, it's going to
17:45
Speaker 2: raise it.
17:46
Speaker 1: Can you believe it?
17:48
Speaker 2: But the stakes are so high and so much coverage
17:52
Speaker 2: of this war is so negative that I think you
17:54
Speaker 2: are owed a deep insight into what's really going on,
17:58
Speaker 2: because I tell you, I don't think that Prime Minister knows. Now,
18:02
Speaker 2: I can tell you some of the latest news like
18:04
Speaker 2: Israel now assassinating a third senior leader in Iran in
18:08
Speaker 2: two days. This time the intelligence chief, like Israel bombing
18:12
Speaker 2: arounds massive South Pars gas field is a warning to
18:15
Speaker 2: Iran to quit attacking the oil and gas fields of
18:18
Speaker 2: its neighbors. Two can play that game. But none of
18:22
Speaker 2: this gives you a clear picture of what's really going
18:25
Speaker 2: on so tonight. The bottom line from a top general
18:28
Speaker 2: is a confident of Donald Trump, who has been consulted
18:31
Speaker 2: on the US war plans, who has been briefed on
18:34
Speaker 2: the Israeli war plans, is General Jack Keane, who's a
18:37
Speaker 2: former Advice Chief of Staff the United States Army, who has,
18:39
Speaker 2: by the way, just been appointed to America's Commission on
18:42
Speaker 2: the National Defense Strategy, appointed by Congress, appointed by the Senate,
18:46
Speaker 2: really which advises the US Congress on coming military threats
18:50
Speaker 2: and how to meet them. I spoke to General Keen earlier.
18:53
Speaker 2: You won't get a better insight into this war anywhere.
18:58
Speaker 2: General Jack Keane, thank you so much much for your time.
19:01
Speaker 2: There's a lot of media doom preaching, as you know,
19:03
Speaker 2: about this war. A lot of people, including journal seem
19:06
Speaker 2: to be subsisted with Trump hatred or whatever that they
19:10
Speaker 2: want the US to fail. So it seems to me
19:12
Speaker 2: at any rate you have actually been privy.
19:14
Speaker 1: To the war plans. How do you assist progress so far?
19:19
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, we're pretty much on message and on target
19:24
Speaker 9: here in terms of what we're trying to achieve, you know,
19:27
Speaker 9: for our audience to understand, yes, I am familiar with
19:30
Speaker 9: the planning on the US and the Israeli side, as
19:33
Speaker 9: well as the execution on both and we're acting as
19:37
Speaker 9: a combined force. And for our audience to appreciate this,
19:41
Speaker 9: this is the first time in many decades in the
19:44
Speaker 9: United States has had an equal partner, and by that
19:46
Speaker 9: I mean a partner and that doesn't is not only
19:49
Speaker 9: willing to participate, but brings full capability as a proven
19:53
Speaker 9: combat force. These are the United States military and the
19:57
Speaker 9: Israeli military, the two most proven militaries operating in the
20:01
Speaker 9: world today. And we're doing this together. And so when
20:06
Speaker 9: I say together, I mean working together every hour of
20:09
Speaker 9: the day, making certain that we're well coordinated.
20:14
Speaker 8: So what is happening here?
20:15
Speaker 9: The United States objectives are to take away all of
20:20
Speaker 9: the Iranians defensive and offensive conventional military capabilities and also
20:28
Speaker 9: as well as their nuclear capability the defensive is was
20:33
Speaker 9: taken away early on, in the first twenty four to
20:35
Speaker 9: thirty six hours. We have been systematically stripping them of
20:40
Speaker 9: their storage of ballistic missiles, their launchers, as well as
20:44
Speaker 9: their drone storage and drones themselves being defeated in combat.
20:50
Speaker 9: The progress are measured by the amount of retaliation they
20:54
Speaker 9: can muster, and it has gone down some ninety percent
20:59
Speaker 9: since the since the war started, for both ballistic missiles
21:03
Speaker 9: and drones, and we're very confident about their nuclear enterprise
21:10
Speaker 9: and what is happening to it and what will happen
21:13
Speaker 9: to it. The other thing that's very noteworthy, Andrew, is
21:17
Speaker 9: that we have submissed systematically with the Israelis, have destroyed
21:23
Speaker 9: their manufacturing capability for all offensive and defensive weapons. We
21:29
Speaker 9: are about at the end of that task, and the
21:32
Speaker 9: mission from the beginning is not only to destroy their
21:34
Speaker 9: current capability to attack the United States, to attack Israel,
21:39
Speaker 9: to attack partners in the region, but also their future
21:44
Speaker 9: capability take that away from them for years to come.
21:47
Speaker 9: The second thing that's happening is what the Israelis are
21:50
Speaker 9: doing exclusively, and that is because of the human intelligence
21:55
Speaker 9: that Mossad has, they are much more capable of doing this,
22:00
Speaker 9: and that is the destruction of the organizations that are
22:04
Speaker 9: sustaining the regime, the IRGC, the BASM militia, which is
22:09
Speaker 9: actually repressor force to kill and torture the Iranian people,
22:15
Speaker 9: the law Enforcement command as well as the police national infrastructure,
22:20
Speaker 9: killing leaders to be sure, but even much more so
22:22
Speaker 9: than that. They have killed hundreds of the Bassi militia
22:26
Speaker 9: who have been operating at checkpoints intents in various cities,
22:31
Speaker 9: and that task is going on every single day. What
22:35
Speaker 9: the Israelis are doing, the mission they have assigned themselves
22:38
Speaker 9: here is to set the conditions by doing what I
22:41
Speaker 9: just described for the regime to eventually collapse. So we're
22:47
Speaker 9: working hand in glove together to accomplish those tasks, and
22:52
Speaker 9: the progress has been quite excellent in the doing of it.
22:58
Speaker 2: Is there any sign that you can make out of
23:01
Speaker 2: these security agencies like this paramilitary group losing control over
23:06
Speaker 2: the population and any sign of internal division.
23:11
Speaker 9: Yeah, I haven't heard a report like that. I haven't
23:14
Speaker 9: asked a question either, But what I do know there
23:18
Speaker 9: are cracks and the leadership of these organizations that sustain
23:22
Speaker 9: the regime. There are specific morale problems in these security
23:26
Speaker 9: forces to include the Bazi militia, particularly when you get
23:30
Speaker 9: down to literally killing hundreds of them that are operating
23:33
Speaker 9: on the streets. It would not surprise me in the
23:36
Speaker 9: least that Basi militia w or industries have come under
23:41
Speaker 9: fire from locals, and it would depend on where they
23:45
Speaker 9: are at. So yes, certainly we may see in the
23:50
Speaker 9: future activity by the Kurds who are operating. They are
23:58
Speaker 9: part of the infrastructure and population that exists in Iran
24:03
Speaker 9: as well as the Azaris, and they both have armed forces.
24:08
Speaker 9: I mean not exactly an army, to be sure, but
24:11
Speaker 9: a paramilitary force, and it would be likely at some
24:14
Speaker 9: point I would think that we would see them engage
24:18
Speaker 9: to try to.
24:19
Speaker 8: Take a local town.
24:22
Speaker 9: And welcome the people in the town into the streets
24:26
Speaker 9: as a result of it. And if the IRGC or
24:28
Speaker 9: a military force tries to retake it, believe me, Israeli
24:33
Speaker 9: and US air.
24:33
Speaker 8: Support will be there to deny them that.
24:36
Speaker 9: So these are all movements in the right direction, but
24:39
Speaker 9: the affirm at least some of what you suggested. Crackston leadership,
24:43
Speaker 9: to be sure, morale problems, to be sure, somewhat chaotic
24:47
Speaker 9: in their decision making we are witnessing because a lot
24:51
Speaker 9: of the decision makers are killed, and I can state
24:54
Speaker 9: for a fact there's going to be a lot more
24:57
Speaker 9: that are also being targeted.
25:00
Speaker 1: Interesting.
25:01
Speaker 2: The major problem, though general, for the US in Israel
25:05
Speaker 2: is the Strait of Humus, breaking the uranium blockade of
25:10
Speaker 2: the Persian Gulf and that narrow strip of water so
25:13
Speaker 2: that twenty percent of the world's oil exports can flow. Again,
25:17
Speaker 2: do you see the US managing to clear that straight?
25:23
Speaker 1: And how.
25:26
Speaker 9: Yeah, Well, we have plans in place. First of all,
25:30
Speaker 9: the major plant itself solves the problem with the straits
25:32
Speaker 9: of the Moose because we take away systematically all of
25:36
Speaker 9: their retaliation capability period in terms of offensive capability, and
25:42
Speaker 9: obviously that would pertain to the Straits of the Moos.
25:45
Speaker 9: What the Iranians would welcome us to do is just
25:48
Speaker 9: focus principally on the Straits of the Moos because of
25:51
Speaker 9: oil prices, and go toe to toe with them and
25:55
Speaker 9: be and distract from all the other missions that we
25:58
Speaker 9: have assigned ourselves in terms that are total takedown of
26:03
Speaker 9: their military capability and what the Israelis are doing with
26:06
Speaker 9: their organizational takedown. We're not going to do that, but
26:10
Speaker 9: obviously we will give straits of a moose some attention
26:13
Speaker 9: to be sure, and we solely understand what's happening with
26:17
Speaker 9: the oil prices. But it takes time to eliminate a
26:22
Speaker 9: drone threat, not only going against the Golf States. And
26:26
Speaker 9: look at the Golf States are right where the straits
26:29
Speaker 9: of a moose is located.
26:31
Speaker 8: Anybody looking at a map would know that.
26:33
Speaker 9: So we have to take down ballistic missiles, cruise missiles.
26:37
Speaker 9: This is done with the straits of a mouse, drone
26:40
Speaker 9: threats as well artillery in the area, whatever seaborne threat
26:47
Speaker 9: that they may have on the surface or underneath the surface,
26:50
Speaker 9: to make certain that that's all dealt with and we
26:52
Speaker 9: are systematically dealing with that. We're well over one hundred
26:57
Speaker 9: ships that that sunt patrol boats and mind laying capability,
27:03
Speaker 9: et cetera. So time, it takes time to do this.
27:09
Speaker 9: We're on plan here. We're not going to be diverted
27:11
Speaker 9: from a plan. The President has asked for some assistance.
27:15
Speaker 9: You know, there's so people understand the United States wants
27:19
Speaker 9: some help here because just think of it this way,
27:22
Speaker 9: there's hundreds of ships, not a few, not twenty or thirty,
27:26
Speaker 9: hundreds of ships that pass through this daily, and we
27:31
Speaker 9: to move those ships through the straits of a Mouse.
27:34
Speaker 9: Likely to move a ship or two ships at one
27:37
Speaker 9: time takes two Navy ships, one in front, one in
27:40
Speaker 9: the rear at a minimum, and you don't exactly take
27:43
Speaker 9: them through the straits of the moves and go back
27:44
Speaker 9: and get two more twenty minutes later. So we have
27:48
Speaker 9: warships in the area that are conducting offensive operations. We
27:52
Speaker 9: have other ships in the area with defensive missile systems
27:56
Speaker 9: that are conducting defensive operations to protect israel spaces on
28:00
Speaker 9: the Gulf States, and we're asking from some assistance to
28:04
Speaker 9: help escort ships through the straits of a Moves. We
28:07
Speaker 9: can obviously do this ourselves to a certain degree, but
28:10
Speaker 9: we don't want to sacrifice the offensive and defensive missions
28:14
Speaker 9: that we assigned ourselves. So we went to our allies
28:18
Speaker 9: who are impacted by this oil prices and the shutdown
28:24
Speaker 9: of the straits of a Moose to see if they
28:26
Speaker 9: would assist us, and a number of them, to include
28:30
Speaker 9: your country, have said no. I think a number of
28:34
Speaker 9: the Europeans are going to change when they understand and
28:38
Speaker 9: I think there was some initial misunderstanding about that they
28:41
Speaker 9: thought we needed to help immediately. We don't, but we
28:44
Speaker 9: want to put together a plan in terms of what, how,
28:47
Speaker 9: when will we do this. So there are some discussions
28:50
Speaker 9: going on beyond just US support. But it is disappointing
28:56
Speaker 9: to see when you're asked for help, which would be
28:59
Speaker 9: in the interests of the countries involved that we're asking
29:02
Speaker 9: because they dependent on the oil coming out of there,
29:05
Speaker 9: and they stiff.
29:06
Speaker 8: Us and say no, you know, we're not going to
29:09
Speaker 8: do We're not going to take the risk.
29:13
Speaker 2: Very short sighted, driven a lot by hatred of Trump
29:16
Speaker 2: and also an eye to the domestic politics on exactly that.
29:21
Speaker 2: General Jack Keane, fascinating Rundown, Thank you so much indeed
29:24
Speaker 2: for your time.
29:26
Speaker 8: Yeah, great as always talking to me Andrew, thank you.
29:31
Speaker 1: After the Great Treasure.
29:32
Speaker 2: Jim Chalmers admits through a disastrous failure and finally Australia's
29:36
Speaker 2: worst premier looks like getting the sack and she lashes out.
29:45
Speaker 1: Had to play show you something.
29:47
Speaker 2: Something really bothered me about two of the grabs I
29:49
Speaker 2: played you earlier, the Prime Minister. Let's have a look
29:52
Speaker 2: at one of them because this really annoyed me. You've
29:56
Speaker 2: got the Australian flag hidden behind the Prime minsig almost
30:00
Speaker 2: not visible at all, and the two tribal flags, the
30:03
Speaker 2: Vision flags on either side of him. It's like what's
30:06
Speaker 2: most important is hidden and what's most divisive is in
30:10
Speaker 2: your face. I mean, seriously, this three flags, Prime Minister,
30:16
Speaker 2: that's this has got to change, the Australian flag front
30:19
Speaker 2: and center and the rest get rid of them. And
30:22
Speaker 2: the hits I've got to say, kept coming today. I mean,
30:24
Speaker 2: unemployment figures up to four point three percent now, Immigration
30:31
Speaker 2: also up up again under this incompetent government, and amazing
30:35
Speaker 2: half a million people net arriving in the pasty half
30:38
Speaker 2: a million all needing a home that's on coming in
30:41
Speaker 2: a permanent, long term basis, all needing a home. Meanwhile,
30:44
Speaker 2: Treasure Jim Charmers slipped in an admission today Australia's terrible
30:47
Speaker 2: productivity would not lift to what he claimed was the
30:50
Speaker 2: usual trend growth and still bad one point two percent.
30:54
Speaker 2: One point two like that was great, won't reach that
30:57
Speaker 2: for another five years now, not the two promised.
31:01
Speaker 15: While Treasury will retain its long term productivity assumption in
31:05
Speaker 15: this budget, it will make some near term adjustments. For example,
31:09
Speaker 15: previously it expected productivity to return to trend within two years.
31:14
Speaker 15: Now it expects that convergence to take closer to five,
31:18
Speaker 15: in line with other key long run assumptions.
31:23
Speaker 2: What do you expect from a government's choke productivity growth?
31:26
Speaker 2: The reviews for Chalmas performance today have been damning.
31:30
Speaker 1: Chickens are coming home to roost.
31:32
Speaker 16: He has done nothing to generate productivity in this economy,
31:35
Speaker 16: and he's done a lot to hold it back. So
31:40
Speaker 16: I think he'll be known as a great economic deformer,
31:43
Speaker 16: not a reformer.
31:46
Speaker 2: Now in Victoria, more signs of at least one stream
31:50
Speaker 2: states simply falling apart socially as well as economically. Record
31:54
Speaker 2: crime in Victoria, particularly from the feral young. But this
31:58
Speaker 2: time at least there will be accountable accountability. Labor polling
32:02
Speaker 2: suggests the Victorian government could lose as many as twenty
32:05
Speaker 2: seats in the election.
32:06
Speaker 1: In November.
32:06
Speaker 2: The Herald's on newspaper says we spoke to more than
32:09
Speaker 2: a dozen seeing your labor figures, and talks were now
32:11
Speaker 2: on to dump premierge Center Allen, who reacted angrily before
32:15
Speaker 2: realizing she was sending up the right via the wrong
32:18
Speaker 2: vibes and should, perhaps you know, be nicer.
32:21
Speaker 17: They're worried about how do they pay their fuel bill,
32:24
Speaker 17: their grocery bill, their energy bill. And that's what I'm
32:27
Speaker 17: focused on, and not anonymous gossip, not anonymous gossip that
32:31
Speaker 17: I could be from a few scaley wags out there
32:34
Speaker 17: that might need a bit of a cuddle. Yes, I've
32:36
Speaker 17: got great support from my strong and united labor team.
32:42
Speaker 2: I've got no support from these scalely wags. It turned
32:45
Speaker 2: out to be more than a dozen senior labor figures anyway,
32:48
Speaker 2: joining me, Sconnish host jameson Ferson, Gun host jameson Ferson
32:53
Speaker 2: and communications consultant Christy McSweeney, who's worked for coalition prime
32:56
Speaker 2: ministers and premiers.
32:58
Speaker 1: James.
32:59
Speaker 2: Look, it's really hard to avoid the impression that Australia's
33:01
Speaker 2: falling apart, and certainly, well certainly Victoria, Am I being
33:05
Speaker 2: too pessimistic?
33:06
Speaker 11: No, I don't think you are, Andrew.
33:08
Speaker 18: In fact, my friends and I are so pessimistic that
33:10
Speaker 18: when we get together we don't shake hands anymore, we
33:12
Speaker 18: shake heads.
33:13
Speaker 11: That's how pessimistic we are.
33:15
Speaker 18: Everywhere you look, whether it's the economy, whether it's social conditions,
33:20
Speaker 18: things just seem to be falling apart. So you think,
33:22
Speaker 18: what'll I do. I'll go to the football and get
33:24
Speaker 18: some escape. You can't even go to the AFL and
33:28
Speaker 18: pay tribute to those killed in the Bondai terror attack.
33:30
Speaker 18: With your sporting organization politicizing that. There's no escape from
33:36
Speaker 18: what seems to be decline everywhere in our country right now.
33:40
Speaker 18: And I've always thought the problem is always leadership, and
33:43
Speaker 18: the solution is always leadership. But wherever you look, whether
33:47
Speaker 18: it's in families, whether it's in the education system, the
33:50
Speaker 18: civil service, or our political parties, there's an absolute dearth
33:55
Speaker 18: of leadership. The only leader on the horizon appears to
33:58
Speaker 18: be Pauline Hansen, but sadly she's got buckleys of becoming
34:01
Speaker 18: Prime minister.
34:03
Speaker 11: So it leaves us in a.
34:04
Speaker 18: Really precarious situation where it seems like we are sleepwalking
34:08
Speaker 18: towards the abyss with no exit ramp. I don't think
34:11
Speaker 18: you're too pessimistic at all.
34:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Christy also, you know when the politicians don't
34:17
Speaker 2: do what they promised. You know this government is going
34:20
Speaker 2: to slash the mass immigration that's really ticking people off.
34:25
Speaker 2: And yet we see the latest figures half a million
34:28
Speaker 2: people arriving on a long term basis in the past
34:30
Speaker 2: year alone.
34:31
Speaker 1: I mean, this is exactly the kind.
34:33
Speaker 2: Of stuff feeding the rise and rise of our nation.
34:35
Speaker 1: Isn't it.
34:37
Speaker 8: Well.
34:37
Speaker 3: Of course, the government promised to cut immigration figures and
34:41
Speaker 3: they have done some immigration reforms, but it's been a
34:44
Speaker 3: little by little by little, and we still have significant
34:48
Speaker 3: growth in people arriving. But what's actually driving the growth
34:51
Speaker 3: is that people don't want to leave, so departures it
34:55
Speaker 3: down and I don't blame them.
34:57
Speaker 1: Of course.
34:58
Speaker 3: We saw immigrant and skilled migration rise to a peak
35:03
Speaker 3: in about twenty twenty three after the COVID shutdown. It's
35:07
Speaker 3: below that, but it's way higher than what it should be.
35:11
Speaker 3: In terms of bringing it down post COVID. The government
35:15
Speaker 3: can't hide behind the COVID ramifications forever. It's five years
35:21
Speaker 3: on now and we know that a lot of things
35:23
Speaker 3: take time to stabilize, but this excuse is wearing a
35:26
Speaker 3: little bit thin in terms of delivering for Australians what
35:30
Speaker 3: they said that they were.
35:31
Speaker 1: Going to do. Yeah, I know.
35:35
Speaker 2: In fact, one of the busiest the challenges for people
35:40
Speaker 2: trying to stay here is now from people on student visas.
35:43
Speaker 2: We let them going to your point, we let him
35:45
Speaker 2: in student visas and now they're trying to use the
35:47
Speaker 2: courts to stay here.
35:48
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what's happening.
35:50
Speaker 2: Thereni women's soccer team, James Is the arved back home,
35:54
Speaker 2: hailed as heroes. They walked out with Garlands, walked out
35:57
Speaker 2: on stepping on the American flag in the sign of contempt.
36:03
Speaker 2: They included the five members who asked for asylum here
36:05
Speaker 2: but then change their minds, apparently after threats.
36:08
Speaker 1: Of their families.
36:09
Speaker 2: But it's all One of the players, Zora zof Ghani
36:12
Speaker 2: Ghani say that this wasn't true. The players felt secure
36:18
Speaker 2: and happy, the girls weren't traitors. Does her word reassure
36:23
Speaker 2: you that it was all a horrible misunderstanding and Iran
36:26
Speaker 2: is safe for them.
36:27
Speaker 18: Andrew put a gun to my mum's head or my
36:29
Speaker 18: father's head. I'll say anything you want me to say.
36:32
Speaker 18: And I think that's what's happened here. Clearly they were
36:36
Speaker 18: intimidated into giving up asylum in Australia and returning to Iran.
36:41
Speaker 18: And now they're being intimidated clearly to say how great
36:44
Speaker 18: the Ayatolla and the Iranian regime is. So you would
36:47
Speaker 18: put no stock at all in what they are saying.
36:50
Speaker 18: Clearly they are being manipulated and put in a very
36:54
Speaker 18: difficult position where they have to say these things.
36:56
Speaker 11: I think that's pretty obvious to everybody.
37:01
Speaker 1: What do you think, Christy?
37:03
Speaker 3: I think these women unfortunately have become politicized as a
37:09
Speaker 3: propaganda tool to use by the Iranian regime who are
37:14
Speaker 3: using them as a tool to say, look, we've beaten
37:16
Speaker 3: the Australian government, we have beaten Donald Trump.
37:19
Speaker 2: The girls who all.
37:20
Speaker 3: The women have returned home and they're very happy to
37:24
Speaker 3: be returned home. It turned into such an international issue
37:29
Speaker 3: and in my opinion, probably wasn't helped by Tony Burke
37:33
Speaker 3: standing up there taking photographs with the woman with the women,
37:37
Speaker 3: and that leaned into the propaganda. I think that was
37:43
Speaker 3: put forward by the regime representatives of it on Iranian
37:47
Speaker 3: state television who politicized this issue and that was really
37:52
Speaker 3: tragic for these women. And as James said, well, if
37:55
Speaker 3: your family was threatened, you would say anything.
38:01
Speaker 2: I'm almost out of time, but I've just got to
38:03
Speaker 2: get a quick program from you both on this one. James,
38:08
Speaker 2: your tip for the South Australian election. Labour's obviously going
38:10
Speaker 2: to win, but one nation are we going to Saturday
38:14
Speaker 2: and Night' say one nation was a flop or one
38:16
Speaker 2: nation is a force.
38:17
Speaker 18: I think we'll say that one nation is a force,
38:20
Speaker 18: though I think many people will be disappointed with their
38:23
Speaker 18: inability to translate popular support into seats in the Parliament.
38:28
Speaker 18: Hopefully they'll get two, maybe three in the Upper House
38:31
Speaker 18: in South Australia.
38:32
Speaker 11: Remains to be seen.
38:33
Speaker 18: What happens in the lower house, but I think they're
38:35
Speaker 18: definitely a force, but it may take.
38:38
Speaker 11: Some time for that to translate politically, I believe.
38:43
Speaker 1: Chrissy, what do you think?
38:46
Speaker 3: Well, I'm more interested in this is the first time
38:49
Speaker 3: we'll have data in terms of how many votes one
38:51
Speaker 3: nation is taken from Labor. Labor has refused to run
38:55
Speaker 3: in Farrah. Why would they despite Bob Carr's urging for
38:59
Speaker 3: them to do so as moral obligation. They don't want
39:02
Speaker 3: any results electoral data out there demonstrating that one nation
39:07
Speaker 3: is also taking votes from them. This will be the
39:09
Speaker 3: first time we will see it, and I think there's
39:12
Speaker 3: a possibility in areas like Gaula and Elizabeth, those socially conservative,
39:18
Speaker 3: almost right wing union areas in Adelaide. So let's see,
39:24
Speaker 3: it might be in for a shock for Labor.
39:29
Speaker 1: That's interesting.
39:30
Speaker 2: I just was looking at pole figures before I came
39:32
Speaker 2: an air and it seems, you know, the further the
39:34
Speaker 2: way you are from the capital city from the center
39:36
Speaker 2: of power, the more likely you are to vote for
39:38
Speaker 2: one nation. So the vote eighteen percent or so in
39:42
Speaker 2: the in the inner urban, higher in the outer urban,
39:46
Speaker 2: and very high in the country which the countryside, which
39:48
Speaker 2: suggests to me they could pick up some seats at
39:52
Speaker 2: Bush where most journals aren't watching, where their primary is
39:55
Speaker 2: nearly forty percent, which is extraordinary. They wouldn't need to
39:59
Speaker 2: win too many preference to win some of those seats.
40:02
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for you both, James the First
40:04
Speaker 2: and Christa McSweeney. Very nice to talk to you both.
40:06
Speaker 2: After the break, it was the Mayor of London turns
40:09
Speaker 2: Trafalger Square into a place of Muslim prayer. Now you
40:18
Speaker 2: can tell there really is a war on because both
40:21
Speaker 2: Belgium and Italy have called out the army.
40:23
Speaker 1: It's that serious.
40:25
Speaker 2: But Belgium they called out the army to protect synagogues
40:28
Speaker 2: and schools from an Islamic gang now attacking Jewish targets
40:32
Speaker 2: in Belgium and the Netherlands. In Italy, same story, soldiers
40:36
Speaker 2: are being used to defend Jewish targets from the enemy within.
40:41
Speaker 2: Join me from London is Thursday regular Patrick Christie's star
40:44
Speaker 2: presenter at gb News. Patrick greater to see you again. Look,
40:48
Speaker 2: is this why European countries have refused to join the
40:51
Speaker 2: US in Israel their war with Iran? That they're actually
40:55
Speaker 2: too busy fighting islam As back home.
40:58
Speaker 19: The short sense of sta is devastating. New polling that
41:01
Speaker 19: emerged yesterday showed that fifty percent of the Muslim population
41:05
Speaker 19: in Britain think it was wrong to bomb Iran and
41:08
Speaker 19: that presumably would mean killing the eye of Toller. Muslims
41:11
Speaker 19: in Britain are five times more likely to support Iran
41:15
Speaker 19: than the wider British population. They're also, by the way,
41:18
Speaker 19: much more supportive of Russia and China than they are
41:21
Speaker 19: of America, which is of course our greatest ally. And
41:24
Speaker 19: yesterday two Iranian nationals in Britain were charged with terrorism
41:28
Speaker 19: offenses doing reconnaissance of Jewish targets on behalf of Iran. Now,
41:33
Speaker 19: for years, people like you and I have been saying
41:35
Speaker 19: that allowing people in with a very different ideology will
41:38
Speaker 19: radically shape our foreign policy, and now it's happening. But
41:42
Speaker 19: just to say on this, another uncomfortable truth, Andrew, is
41:46
Speaker 19: that currently the state of the British military is insufficient.
41:49
Speaker 12: Specifically our navy.
41:51
Speaker 19: Hez Bilar attacked to British base on Cyprus, we only
41:54
Speaker 19: had one warship available that we could deploy that still
41:58
Speaker 19: hasn't arrived reports on the has follow attack. I then
42:01
Speaker 19: went on holiday to the Mouldies for eleven nights. I
42:04
Speaker 19: came back three nights ago and our warship still hasn't arrived.
42:11
Speaker 2: Gee gee, and you would know they went to defend
42:14
Speaker 2: Cypress Lander your father's. But anyway, mate, I guess they're
42:19
Speaker 2: going to Nixon. But what the next going to ban
42:21
Speaker 2: Rule Britannia, will they? Because you know when it's sound
42:24
Speaker 2: like a fraud singing Britannia rules the waves no longer?
42:29
Speaker 8: Well quite?
42:30
Speaker 19: I mean this is that we've already banned Winston Churchill
42:32
Speaker 19: from our bank notes. I suppose the next step is
42:33
Speaker 19: to ban rule Britannia. Although by the way, can I
42:35
Speaker 19: just say that that is already frowned upon. You're already
42:38
Speaker 19: not really supposed to sing Rule Brittannia in Britain anymore
42:41
Speaker 19: because of our colonial past and supposed links to the
42:44
Speaker 19: slave trade, so that has actually already been counseled.
42:50
Speaker 2: Well, so much for that joke, then, my god, the
42:53
Speaker 2: reality is steaming ahead of me. Related to all this, Patrick,
42:58
Speaker 2: is that the Muslim Mirror of London Lynn Muslims in
43:02
Speaker 2: Prayer are one of London's most famous tourist bosors Trafalgar Square,
43:06
Speaker 2: right outside the splendid National Gallery, where you can see
43:10
Speaker 2: one of the magnificent works of John Peter Russell, an Australian,
43:14
Speaker 2: one of the great impressioners. Them taking over Trafalgar Square.
43:19
Speaker 2: Is that a religious ceremony or is it a political one?
43:22
Speaker 19: Yeah, there's been a huge controversy over this because several
43:25
Speaker 19: prominent political figures are saying that this is actually.
43:27
Speaker 12: A show of domination.
43:29
Speaker 19: The largest Iftar Ramadan event in the Western world took
43:33
Speaker 19: place in Trafalgar Square and a part of that they
43:36
Speaker 19: blared out in Arabic. Obviously there is no God but Allah,
43:40
Speaker 19: and Muhammad is his messenger.
43:43
Speaker 12: Several times.
43:44
Speaker 19: Kirstarmar Prime Minister also held an Iftar event in Parliament
43:47
Speaker 19: where he met with the Palestinian ambassador and actually gave
43:50
Speaker 19: him a massive hug and they played out the call
43:53
Speaker 19: to prayer around the Houses of Parliament. And the reality
43:57
Speaker 19: now is Andrew, that it's impossible to separate the religion
44:01
Speaker 19: of Islam from politics in the current British political landscape.
44:07
Speaker 19: And there's no real counter to that, right, there's no
44:10
Speaker 19: kind of political Judaism parties, there's no real political Christian party.
44:14
Speaker 12: So that's kind of where we are at the moment.
44:19
Speaker 2: So well, maybe there's an innocent explanation. Maybe you don't
44:23
Speaker 2: have a mosque in London and the poor chaps have
44:27
Speaker 2: to pray in the street. I mean, is that what
44:30
Speaker 2: they're reduced to in this terrible racist country of yours.
44:34
Speaker 12: Not entirely, Andrew.
44:35
Speaker 19: No, there are about three hundred mosques around the London area,
44:38
Speaker 19: so there is enough space if they wanted to. Now, look,
44:42
Speaker 19: I'm not against anyone, you know, displaying their faith in public.
44:45
Speaker 12: I think it's generally speaking a good thing.
44:47
Speaker 19: I'm a Christian myself, and you know, I like the
44:49
Speaker 19: idea of public prayer, but I suppose it's the messaging
44:53
Speaker 19: that goes with it. And like I said, it's the
44:55
Speaker 19: fact that currently in Britain you cannot disassociate politics from
45:00
Speaker 19: the religion of Islam, and we are literally seeing that
45:02
Speaker 19: play out at by elections, at local elections and with
45:06
Speaker 19: political movements.
45:06
Speaker 12: I mean, it's just a fact, right.
45:08
Speaker 19: So so that is I suppose the added connotation to
45:12
Speaker 19: what you're seeing there the biggest if t A in
45:14
Speaker 19: the Western world in central London.
45:19
Speaker 1: Well, I'm finding a bit strange.
45:21
Speaker 2: You know, all these people on the left who are
45:23
Speaker 2: so obsessed with the colonization has spening out colonizations, colonial
45:28
Speaker 2: studies and you know about how wicked colonization is. They
45:31
Speaker 2: have nothing to say about this very obvious form of
45:34
Speaker 2: colonization happening right in front of their eyes in their
45:36
Speaker 2: own city. This week, Israel assassinated the de facto leader
45:41
Speaker 2: of Iran since the Iatola was killed.
45:44
Speaker 1: That was the security.
45:45
Speaker 2: Chief Ali Lara Jani, who ordered the mess murder of
45:49
Speaker 2: thousands of Iranian protestss just last January. But veteran BBC
45:53
Speaker 2: correspondent John Simpson posted I've met Ali Lara Johanni several
45:57
Speaker 2: times over the past year.
45:58
Speaker 1: Over the years, yes.
46:00
Speaker 2: He was a top figure in a nasty regime, but
46:03
Speaker 2: he always seemed clever and reasonable, the kind of person
46:06
Speaker 2: you might want to negotiate a peace deal with. Is
46:10
Speaker 2: it a good idea for Israel to take out people
46:12
Speaker 2: like him. How did that post go down?
46:15
Speaker 19: Patrick, Well, it went down like a cup of cold sick.
46:18
Speaker 19: It went down like a fart in a lift. I mean,
46:20
Speaker 19: you can see it now, can't you? Flash back to
46:22
Speaker 19: nineteen thirties or nineteen forties Germany, John Simpson pops up Gebels.
46:26
Speaker 12: Yes, he was a figure in a terrible regime.
46:29
Speaker 19: But I did have a nice glass of red wine
46:31
Speaker 19: with him over dinner, and I thought, that's the man
46:33
Speaker 19: I can do business with, you know. I mean, the
46:34
Speaker 19: BBC has long been accused of doing propaganda for various
46:38
Speaker 19: different terrorist organizations, whether it's refusing to talk AMOS a
46:41
Speaker 19: terrorist group, or calling ISIS the so called Islamic Stay
46:45
Speaker 19: or indeed platforming, raging anti Semis, you name it, the
46:48
Speaker 19: BBC has done it. So it's actually really quite par
46:51
Speaker 19: for the course. And President Trump has actually come out
46:54
Speaker 19: a couple of days ago and said that he thinks
46:55
Speaker 19: that the BBC basically wants.
46:57
Speaker 12: Him to lose this war with it.
47:00
Speaker 19: And you know what, I think the Trump derangement syndrome
47:02
Speaker 19: that's going on, and I'm not backing everything that Trump's
47:05
Speaker 19: done here, don't get me wrong. But the Trump derangement
47:07
Speaker 19: syndrome that's going on, I think he's.
47:09
Speaker 12: Probably right about that.
47:10
Speaker 19: I think it would play into the BBC's hands if
47:13
Speaker 19: indeed somehow the US and Israel lost this war with
47:16
Speaker 19: ire At.
47:20
Speaker 2: Yes, I thought it was also interesting and the company
47:23
Speaker 2: you keep. Another person thinking it was a bit sad
47:26
Speaker 2: that Larry Journey was killed by the Israelis was Vledimir Putin,
47:33
Speaker 2: who sent Iran a condolence message. What a loss, he said,
47:37
Speaker 2: what a loss. It just shows you where the alliances
47:40
Speaker 2: are going. Patrick Christie's thank you so much for your time.
47:46
Speaker 2: Now Saturday, of course we're going to have the coverage
47:50
Speaker 2: here on Sky with a really top cast of the
47:53
Speaker 2: election in South Australia. I think it's actually going to
47:56
Speaker 2: be really big. I mean for South Strais obviously, but
48:02
Speaker 2: the result is actually quite obvious, but also big for
48:07
Speaker 2: the future of one nation.
48:09
Speaker 1: Now.
48:09
Speaker 2: I don't expect the whole Swagger seat, although I suspect
48:12
Speaker 2: they'll get enough enough in the Lower House and also
48:15
Speaker 2: in the Upper House with Thiss Corey Benardi and this
48:18
Speaker 2: will I think must really wake up the Liberals into
48:23
Speaker 2: where they are and this holding their nose about one
48:26
Speaker 2: nation and all that, and one nation voters that has
48:29
Speaker 2: to end politics.
48:30
Speaker 1: As of Monday
48:31
Speaker 2: Could be extremely different from what we've had up next
48:34
Speaker 2: Sherry markson good Night
