Speaker 1: It's the reform it.
0:15
Speaker 2: Tonight, Donald Trump blasts Britain's Prime Minister Kstarma for blocking
0:19
Speaker 2: his war effort. This is not Winston Churchill, but Sarma boasts,
0:27
Speaker 2: is not helping Trump. He boasts to Muslims at a
0:30
Speaker 2: Ramadan dinner, the once mighty British Empire and bad news
0:35
Speaker 2: for Iranians. The new Supreme leaders reportedly this man a
0:38
Speaker 2: cleric even worse than his assassinated father. Will show you
0:41
Speaker 2: some of the reaction from Tehran. And Penny Wong is
0:45
Speaker 2: under fire for lousy travel advice, showing how badly Australia
0:50
Speaker 2: has been cut off, a cut out of the loop
0:52
Speaker 2: by America. But first I'm going to play you a
0:56
Speaker 2: shocking video, an example of why Pauline Hanson, by the way,
0:59
Speaker 2: is getting so much support now. Two days ago our Senate,
1:04
Speaker 2: only the Greens and Labor voted to censure the One
1:07
Speaker 2: Nation leader for saying this.
1:09
Speaker 3: I've got no time for the Radical Islam. Their religion
1:14
Speaker 3: concerns me because what it says in the Qur'an. You say, oh, well,
1:18
Speaker 3: there's good Muslims out there. Well, I'm sorry, how can
1:21
Speaker 3: you tell me there are good Muslims?
1:25
Speaker 2: Now? As Hanson said in that same interview, she was
1:27
Speaker 2: not saying there are no good Muslims, as I've shown.
1:31
Speaker 2: She meant to say, how can you tell who will
1:35
Speaker 2: be good and who will be bad? Very important at
1:37
Speaker 2: the borders in particular, and we have now seen exactly
1:41
Speaker 2: that problem. We have seen that play out because of
1:46
Speaker 2: how some mosques and our mourning the death of Iran
1:49
Speaker 2: Supreme Leader Atola Ali Kamenei is a terrorist, the mass murderer,
1:54
Speaker 2: a jihadist, and these mosques mourning this man's death, some
2:01
Speaker 2: of them are funded by labor governments. Now a dozen
2:05
Speaker 2: or more Islamic mosques and centers are holding ceremonies the
2:08
Speaker 2: morn Komenae, who was assassinated last week in in American
2:12
Speaker 2: and Israeli bombing. Now bear in mind and caution, I
2:15
Speaker 2: am going to show you some disturbing images they really
2:18
Speaker 2: paint this guy's character. Bear in mind that this comin
2:22
Speaker 2: Ae in just the past two months massacred up to
2:25
Speaker 2: thirty six thousand Iranians protesting against this rule. He has
2:30
Speaker 2: executed political prisoners, He has had women arrest that a
2:33
Speaker 2: beaten for not covering their hair. He has also hanged
2:37
Speaker 2: gays from cranes declared death to America and funded terrorist
2:42
Speaker 2: groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah, and ordered hundreds of
2:45
Speaker 2: deadly attacks on Israel and on US soldiers. Yet Sydney's
2:50
Speaker 2: Masjid a Rahman Mosque, for instance, called for Muslims to
2:54
Speaker 2: come pray for this tyrants. Pure soul of the Sydney
2:59
Speaker 2: mosque has speaker who painted Kamine's assassination as an attack
3:03
Speaker 2: on Islam. The kind of inflammatory message we've learned already
3:07
Speaker 2: is potentially deadly in this age of jihad. In fact,
3:11
Speaker 2: the hussey At Sayida Zeinab nonprofit Muslim center got so
3:16
Speaker 2: excited that it posted this slick video praising the Hesbela
3:21
Speaker 2: terrorist group which Kamina had funded to kill Jews. Now
3:31
Speaker 2: I find this video shocking. It's promoting a terrorist group
3:37
Speaker 2: which is actually banned here. It's saying that Hesbella's victory
3:41
Speaker 2: will be coming. It's it's just a praise of terrorists
3:46
Speaker 2: of all kinds. Now, this Hesbala, of course, is a
3:52
Speaker 2: terrorist group actually banned in Australia. Promoting it is banned
3:56
Speaker 2: in Australia. This Muslim center has now deleted it, but
4:01
Speaker 2: this screenshot of its Instagram page taken by the Australian
4:04
Speaker 2: Jewish Association shows it was there. But there's more Sidneys
4:09
Speaker 2: Alzara Mosque had a shake praising Incoming as the embodiment
4:14
Speaker 2: of everything we wanted in a leader helping Muslims to
4:18
Speaker 2: fight imperialism, fight Zionism.
4:22
Speaker 4: We lost one of our biggest scholars, Islamic scholars. He
4:28
Speaker 4: was very well respected from everyone, and.
4:32
Speaker 2: As I showed last night in Victoria, the grief of
4:35
Speaker 2: Dan Long's Taha Foundation was so great that a singer
4:38
Speaker 2: broke down in tears for kaming.
4:40
Speaker 5: As I've got all of us.
4:56
Speaker 2: As I also showed last night that Taha Foundation was
4:59
Speaker 2: actually promised six hundred and seventy thousand dollars of your
5:03
Speaker 2: money by the Albanizi government to renovate and extend their
5:06
Speaker 2: headquarters and pay for youth programs. What a craven bribe
5:11
Speaker 2: for votes using taxpayers money. But how many of the
5:15
Speaker 2: other mosques Morning Come and A have been funded by labor?
5:20
Speaker 2: Now the Masjedo Rahman Mosque that I mentioned, it's also
5:23
Speaker 2: held a commemoration ceremony for three killed Hesbalah fighters, yet
5:29
Speaker 2: it has been given thirty three thousand dollars by the
5:33
Speaker 2: New South Wales government, including this novelty check for twenty
5:37
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars of that with a signature on it
5:40
Speaker 2: of local Labor member front bencher Sophie Costas Kotsis, as
5:44
Speaker 2: if she was donating her own money and not yours.
5:49
Speaker 2: As for the Alzara Moss that I also mentioned, it
5:52
Speaker 2: shares an address and a board member with the Alzara College,
5:56
Speaker 2: which in twenty twenty four got nearly ten million dollars
5:59
Speaker 2: in federal government funding plus two point four million in
6:02
Speaker 2: state government funding. Now, of course, when all this came
6:07
Speaker 2: to light, the Minister of Multicultural Affairs, Anne Ali, who's
6:11
Speaker 2: a self a Muslim, she now claims she takes this
6:14
Speaker 2: use about the Tahau Foundation in particular, well, that is,
6:17
Speaker 2: she takes it very seriously, she says, and she's now
6:20
Speaker 2: canceled late this afternoon the six hundred and seventy thousand
6:24
Speaker 2: dollars grant. But like I've asked before, why was this
6:30
Speaker 2: money given in the first place? Well, the government argue
6:35
Speaker 2: that I had no idea. It was funding what Pauline
6:37
Speaker 2: Hanson would call bad Muslims, or at least Muslims who
6:42
Speaker 2: worshiped an Iranian a Toller responsible for mass murder in
6:45
Speaker 2: his unending jihad. Fair enough, I mean, really, let's be frank,
6:52
Speaker 2: how could anyone have told Labor these weren't so called
6:55
Speaker 2: good Muslims that was handing your money to which is
7:00
Speaker 2: exactly what Hansen was trying to say when Labor and
7:04
Speaker 2: the Greens in the Senate screamed her down. And it's
7:08
Speaker 2: what every government should be in mind when deciding which
7:10
Speaker 2: immigrants we let in. Now'll give you the latest on
7:18
Speaker 2: the war in Iran a little later. There some big
7:21
Speaker 2: developments there, including the new leader. It's staying with local news.
7:26
Speaker 2: Two things in particular. First, more than a thousand Australians
7:30
Speaker 2: are still stuck in the Middle East after Iran, far
7:32
Speaker 2: more than a thousand missiles and drones of Katar and
7:35
Speaker 2: the unaded Arab Emirates closing their airports. Now two hundred
7:41
Speaker 2: Australians are now being flown home. But all this is
7:44
Speaker 2: highlighted how out of touch Foreign Minnicipenny Wong is, how
7:48
Speaker 2: cut off from any good intelligence from the US and Israel,
7:52
Speaker 2: leaving her unable to give proper travel warnings. She was
7:56
Speaker 2: asked today why she'd told diplomats astraining diplomats to get
8:00
Speaker 2: their families out of Israel and Lebanon, but didn't tell
8:03
Speaker 2: civilian travelers the same.
8:05
Speaker 6: Really, the opposition needs to get their facts straight. We
8:09
Speaker 6: have a very strict no double standards policy, a very
8:11
Speaker 6: strict no double standards policy, which means what is directed
8:15
Speaker 6: by the Department to their people is what is made public,
8:19
Speaker 6: and that is what occurred.
8:20
Speaker 7: That's the first point.
8:22
Speaker 6: The second point I would make is our directions were
8:25
Speaker 6: in relation to Israel and Lebanon and some voluntary departures
8:28
Speaker 6: as well, all of which was made public. Now I
8:31
Speaker 6: don't think you know, we certainly did not know that
8:35
Speaker 6: Iran was going to hit ten countries in the region.
8:39
Speaker 6: And you know, for those who are criticizing, if they
8:41
Speaker 6: think they knew that, then they probably should have told us.
8:46
Speaker 2: Didn't know, had no insight. And even now Pennyonong hasn't
8:49
Speaker 2: talked to Donal Trump's Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, and
8:52
Speaker 2: that's because Australia now under this government, is so irrelevant
8:55
Speaker 2: to our allies, We're so unreliable. But to the other
8:59
Speaker 2: big news and this is much better for Australia and
9:02
Speaker 2: the government. National growth figures today showed a big jump
9:07
Speaker 2: in growth from two point one percent to two point
9:10
Speaker 2: six percent for the year. The Treasurer was very very
9:14
Speaker 2: happy with that. Today joining me is the political panel,
9:16
Speaker 2: Cameron Milner Form which you've staffed, the labor leader, Bill
9:18
Speaker 2: Shorten now Director of GXO Strategies, and Michael Costler, former
9:22
Speaker 2: New South Wales Labor Treasurer. There's a lot to discuss here,
9:26
Speaker 2: and Michael, let me start with you with the growth figures.
9:28
Speaker 2: Two point six percent. That sounds quite good.
9:32
Speaker 1: Well, it would be.
9:33
Speaker 8: Good Andrew in normal circumstances, but we're not in normal circumstances.
9:37
Speaker 8: If we didn't have an inflation crisis, you know, we'd
9:39
Speaker 8: all be crying about this. But look, those figures show
9:42
Speaker 8: exactly what the problem is with government spending. You know,
9:46
Speaker 8: we've got the private sector growing, and that's the good
9:48
Speaker 8: part of those figures.
9:50
Speaker 1: That's where you want growth.
9:52
Speaker 8: That's what generates the wealth and it also generates the
9:54
Speaker 8: bulk of taxation revenue, so that's the good site. But
9:57
Speaker 8: at the same time, there has been no cut back
10:00
Speaker 8: on government spending and that is a major problem and
10:05
Speaker 8: means effectively you've got the RBA trying to control an
10:10
Speaker 8: inflation environment with the federal government spending more money than's
10:15
Speaker 8: required to keep its mandate of full employment. So we've
10:19
Speaker 8: got a major problem here. And I don't think that
10:22
Speaker 8: Jim Chalmers should crow. I noticed that by the way
10:25
Speaker 8: he was trying to set up for the inevitable rate
10:27
Speaker 8: rise by blaming what's going on in Iran at the moment.
10:32
Speaker 1: That's absolutely not nonsense.
10:34
Speaker 8: You always have exogenous factors when you're doing a budget
10:37
Speaker 8: or an economy, and what you need to do is
10:40
Speaker 8: keep your basics economic budget position in a position where
10:44
Speaker 8: I can handle that. That means he should have cut
10:46
Speaker 8: back on spending twelve months ago.
10:48
Speaker 1: He didn't.
10:49
Speaker 8: He's put us in a very difficult situation and the
10:51
Speaker 8: Australian public is going to face a rate increase.
10:53
Speaker 1: It has to.
10:57
Speaker 2: In fact the price hugs from the Iran war. They're
11:00
Speaker 2: yet to feed into all this that will be coming
11:02
Speaker 2: over the next few weeks. Cameron Milner, what do you
11:05
Speaker 2: make of this?
11:08
Speaker 9: Well, look, as as Michael said, a good number in
11:11
Speaker 9: better times, but they're not. I mean, inflation's back is
11:14
Speaker 9: a huge problem for US. Interest rates are going up,
11:16
Speaker 9: cost of living's back on everyone's agenda again and yes
11:19
Speaker 9: to Michael's point, exactly right, Michael, this wasn't about Iran.
11:22
Speaker 9: It's not about what's happened the last five days. It's
11:24
Speaker 9: over the last five months. You know, this is a
11:26
Speaker 9: government that's out of control in terms of its spending
11:28
Speaker 9: and the RBA is trying to put on a diet
11:30
Speaker 9: and this goes back getting thirds at the spending drop.
11:33
Speaker 9: That's the problem. They're out of control and that's what's
11:36
Speaker 9: fed into inflation. And so the growth number would have
11:38
Speaker 9: been great Michael and Andrew, but not with inflation at
11:41
Speaker 9: three point eight and ugitate's going up.
11:46
Speaker 2: Now. Me and while the government seems totally over the
11:48
Speaker 2: loop with this war, not worn beforehand, not getting the
11:51
Speaker 2: heads up even now, unable to have proper travel warnings,
11:55
Speaker 2: unable to predict where the war is going. Michael Costa,
11:58
Speaker 2: it seems to me that we're just in irrelevance in
12:02
Speaker 2: all this. We are not and how there's promised anything,
12:05
Speaker 2: that's been looked for, for anything. We're just sitting on
12:08
Speaker 2: the sidelines with the government as clueless as most other Australians.
12:14
Speaker 8: Well, that's true, and would you actually a few of
12:16
Speaker 8: the US or Israel give an early warning to the
12:19
Speaker 8: Aberzi government.
12:20
Speaker 1: I wouldn't, of course not you wouldn't.
12:23
Speaker 8: Given some of the composition of the parliamentary Labor Party,
12:26
Speaker 8: they probably would have.
12:27
Speaker 1: Linked it by now.
12:28
Speaker 8: Look, the problem is for this government is that there
12:32
Speaker 8: is irrelevant and to be fair, we should be irrelevant.
12:35
Speaker 1: This is in the Middle East in one sense.
12:38
Speaker 8: I've got to also say I thought Alberie, as weak
12:40
Speaker 8: as he was, at least did a lot better than
12:43
Speaker 8: Starma did.
12:43
Speaker 1: And I note that Trump had a go at him today.
12:46
Speaker 8: Starma that is about not being a Winston Churchill made
12:49
Speaker 8: his worse than that.
12:51
Speaker 1: You know.
12:52
Speaker 8: The reality is that this is going to play out
12:54
Speaker 8: independent of us. In terms of the travel warnings, I
12:58
Speaker 8: have a bit of sympathy for the government on this.
13:00
Speaker 8: I don't know how you give travel warnings when it
13:02
Speaker 8: was a surprise attack. The decision was made on Saturday morning,
13:06
Speaker 8: our time. They weren't going to let people know because
13:09
Speaker 8: it would leak out. Having said that, I mean we
13:11
Speaker 8: should show more support for our allies and more support
13:15
Speaker 8: for the values that have embedded in this action.
13:20
Speaker 2: Well, I must say that it wouldn't have been a
13:23
Speaker 2: surprise at all to Scone News viewers. This is your
13:27
Speaker 2: This is what you're getting in return for your subscription.
13:30
Speaker 2: We told you a month and more ago this war
13:33
Speaker 2: was coming. We told you last week it might be
13:35
Speaker 2: well this weekend or last weekend. All that's happened. So
13:39
Speaker 2: keep your subscription up and you too will not be
13:41
Speaker 2: stuck in the Middle East. Cameron Penny Wong. I don't
13:45
Speaker 2: think she's been a star performer in this episode.
13:51
Speaker 9: She has an inn. So she's the friend of her asked,
13:53
Speaker 9: and a friend of Palestine. And why would Washington trust her?
13:56
Speaker 9: I mean, it's on a need to know basis this
13:57
Speaker 9: sort of information, and she clearly didn't need to know
14:00
Speaker 9: because you can't be trusted Tony Burt couldn't be trusted
14:02
Speaker 9: with information around the National Cabinet table clearly. So no,
14:05
Speaker 9: I mean, look, Israel and America have done a great thing,
14:08
Speaker 9: a great thing in taking down Iran's initial thing. They've
14:11
Speaker 9: got to finish the job. But for goodness sake, if
14:13
Speaker 9: we've got Orcus, we've got a week Elbow and never
14:18
Speaker 9: Chamberlain like Starmer in the Aucust thing, and we've got
14:20
Speaker 9: Donald Trump, thank goodness.
14:21
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what Aucust looks like now.
14:23
Speaker 9: Week Labor in Australia Week, labor in London and a
14:26
Speaker 9: strong Trump in Washington.
14:30
Speaker 2: That's two mentions already. A Keith Starmer from you two guys.
14:35
Speaker 2: He'll be on the griddle in the next segment. Don't
14:38
Speaker 2: you worry about that government funding ex mosques and It's
14:41
Speaker 2: centers that turned out to be pro the Iranian leader
14:45
Speaker 2: who funded the world's worst terrorist group. Michael Cossa, how
14:48
Speaker 2: could this happen?
14:50
Speaker 1: Well, anything can happen, mate. We're funding all sorts of
14:54
Speaker 1: silly things.
14:55
Speaker 8: And this is a government, a federal government that can't
14:58
Speaker 8: cut back expenditure.
14:59
Speaker 1: But on this one.
15:00
Speaker 8: That's particularly agreeious given you know, the sorts of views
15:03
Speaker 8: that these people have.
15:04
Speaker 1: And I just want to make a point here.
15:05
Speaker 8: This is not about their right to mourn their so
15:09
Speaker 8: called spiritual leader. It's the fact that the Commonwealth government
15:13
Speaker 8: is funding these people who have got a track report,
15:16
Speaker 8: are supporting organizations that are prescribed in Australia. Now, you know,
15:21
Speaker 8: this comes back to the point, and you know, I
15:23
Speaker 8: don't agree with this thing about good Muslims and bad Muslims.
15:25
Speaker 8: This is about bad Islam, you know, and the fact
15:29
Speaker 8: of the matter, there are problems in Islam and unless
15:31
Speaker 8: there's a reformation, we're going to get constantly these types
15:34
Speaker 8: of events occurring in this country. It's about Islam that
15:37
Speaker 8: we need to focus on the reformations on coming. The
15:40
Speaker 8: Islamic Council of Clerics has done nothing to mitigate against
15:44
Speaker 8: these sorts of positions, and this is the result you see.
15:46
Speaker 8: But the federal government shouldn't be giving them one cent
15:49
Speaker 8: or the state's giving them one cent.
15:52
Speaker 2: Well, you call for a reformation. The Reformation in Christianity
15:57
Speaker 2: was where people went back to the Bible to see
15:59
Speaker 2: what it actually is said. I think Paul Hanson's message
16:03
Speaker 2: here is that we don't want that reformation. We do
16:06
Speaker 2: not want people going back to what the Quran really says,
16:09
Speaker 2: because that is the problem. And that's why she says,
16:12
Speaker 2: how can you tell it be a good Muslim? Because
16:14
Speaker 2: you don't know how many will take what's in the
16:17
Speaker 2: Quran literally enact upon it. That's the problem. What did
16:21
Speaker 2: you think of all this Cameron, the funding of moss
16:24
Speaker 2: and Islamic centers. I mean it's such a you know,
16:27
Speaker 2: a rowt really pleading to I think communities the least
16:32
Speaker 2: assimilated and get the most money. It's a reward for
16:35
Speaker 2: not assimilating. And I think it's a pure roart. Oh
16:41
Speaker 2: it is.
16:41
Speaker 9: It's buying votes, isn't Andrew. I mean this is just
16:44
Speaker 9: throwing money to the Muslim extremists in the community hoping
16:47
Speaker 9: they'll vote Labor, just like you did a deal on
16:49
Speaker 9: isis Bride to say, Watson, that's what Tony Burk Whitton
16:51
Speaker 9: did and just hand out money. He hand out Isis
16:53
Speaker 9: brides as well. No, this is a labor party with
16:56
Speaker 9: a gross double standard. He'll stand there at the Bondai
16:59
Speaker 9: memorial putting down flowers, but won't do anything about the
17:02
Speaker 9: hate preachers that have been in these mosques in Western
17:04
Speaker 9: City now and Danny Noong and the people who are
17:06
Speaker 9: out there celebrating the life of a terrorist leader such
17:10
Speaker 9: a Komane. I mean, this guy reigned death in the
17:13
Speaker 9: Middle East from Hesibla, hoodies and hamas, and yet he's
17:17
Speaker 9: being celebrated in terms of his death by some of
17:19
Speaker 9: these people our community. That's not acceptable and for goodness sake,
17:22
Speaker 9: not one single dollar of Australian money should ever go to
17:24
Speaker 9: these groups ever.
17:25
Speaker 2: Again, Yes, Sir Tony Burke actually went down to the
17:30
Speaker 2: airport and personally welcomed Palestinians from terrorists in Gaza that
17:35
Speaker 2: had given tourist visas to unbelievable Michael Costa, Cameron Milner,
17:39
Speaker 2: thank you very much to you both. After the break,
17:42
Speaker 2: he runs clerics choose the country's new leader. But he
17:45
Speaker 2: spells disaster and will show you how it's been greeted
17:47
Speaker 2: in the streets in Tehran and to the latest in
17:55
Speaker 2: the war. Well after four days, it seems Iran's ability
17:58
Speaker 2: to fight back has been crippled. The Institute of the
18:01
Speaker 2: Study of War and the Pentagon Boath say it's firing
18:04
Speaker 2: many fewer missiles now. That's because hundreds of its missiles
18:07
Speaker 2: and particularly missile launchers have been taken out.
18:11
Speaker 10: They have no navy, it's been knocked out. They have
18:14
Speaker 10: no air force, has been knocked out, they have no
18:17
Speaker 10: air detection, has been knocked out, their radar has been
18:19
Speaker 10: knocked out, and just about everything's been knocked out.
18:26
Speaker 2: The US and Israel, though, are now virtually bombing at will,
18:30
Speaker 2: and they've destroyed a building where HERUNS Council of Experts
18:33
Speaker 2: was supposed to be meeting to choose a replacement for
18:35
Speaker 2: around supreme leader. I told Ali Kamenai who's killed on
18:39
Speaker 2: the weekend. In fact, the council met virtually and reportedly
18:42
Speaker 2: chose as Kaminai's successor his second son, mosh Harbor, even
18:47
Speaker 2: though he is not actually a senior cleric shouldn't actually qualify.
18:51
Speaker 2: But what he is is a hard liner backed by
18:54
Speaker 2: the country's powerful and hard line Revolutionary Guard Corps, which
18:58
Speaker 2: is bad us for Iranians. Well, and they let that
19:03
Speaker 2: be known. In Tehran. People were calling out for the
19:07
Speaker 2: new guy's death and were shot at. So this war
19:25
Speaker 2: will keep going, as Trump has promised. I don't know
19:27
Speaker 2: how much longer this new come and a will live.
19:32
Speaker 2: Trump has meanwhile, stepped in there to clean up a
19:35
Speaker 2: dumb thing and a rare dumb thing that was said
19:37
Speaker 2: yesterday Bo's Secretary of State Marco Rubio, implying that America
19:41
Speaker 2: attacked Iran because Israel stampeded it's adjoining Israel and destroying
19:47
Speaker 2: the regime. Rubio apparently carved into pressure from leftist politicians
19:52
Speaker 2: journalists claiming this war is illegal because there was no
19:55
Speaker 2: imminent threat. Yes there was. Rubio said this threat that
20:00
Speaker 2: the round would strike back if Israel attack first. The
20:02
Speaker 2: US had to preempt that.
20:05
Speaker 11: We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action.
20:07
Speaker 11: We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces,
20:11
Speaker 11: and we knew that if we didn't preemptively go after
20:13
Speaker 11: them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher
20:16
Speaker 11: casualties and perhaps even hire those killed. And then we
20:19
Speaker 11: would all be here answering questions about why we knew
20:21
Speaker 11: that and didn't act.
20:24
Speaker 2: That's the gift to anti Israel conspiracy theorists, and Trump
20:28
Speaker 2: cleaned it up, saying as if I would let another
20:31
Speaker 2: country panic me into doing.
20:33
Speaker 10: This, based on the way the negotiation was going, I
20:36
Speaker 10: think they were going to attack first, and I didn't
20:40
Speaker 10: want that to happen, So, if anything, I might have
20:43
Speaker 10: forced Israel's hand.
20:46
Speaker 2: Now, the fact is have demonstrated before Trump and his
20:49
Speaker 2: team of playing this war four months. General Jack Keane
20:52
Speaker 2: told us he more than a month ago was coming.
20:54
Speaker 2: And one added reason to attack now that I haven't
20:59
Speaker 2: told you yet is that Iran was rapidly building up
21:01
Speaker 2: his missiles and its drones. Iran's foreign minister even boast
21:04
Speaker 2: in November that Iran now had more missiles than it
21:07
Speaker 2: did in the twelve day war with the US and
21:09
Speaker 2: Israel last June, and that spelled huge danger for Israel
21:14
Speaker 2: in the US if Iran got too many missiles that
21:16
Speaker 2: could simply overwhelm their missile defenses, exhaust their stock, and
21:20
Speaker 2: leave the US with too few to defend itself against
21:24
Speaker 2: a Chinese attack should one come. And it seems that
21:28
Speaker 2: is one big reason for the attack happening now. Meanwhile,
21:32
Speaker 2: Israel has moved back into southern eleven On to clean
21:34
Speaker 2: out Hesbela. Terrorists there have been paid in armed by
21:37
Speaker 2: Hesbla and have fired rockets into Israel to help defend Iran.
21:42
Speaker 2: Joining me is Aylon Levy, a podcaster and former spokesman
21:45
Speaker 2: for the Israeli government during the first year of the
21:48
Speaker 2: Guards of War. It's such a pleasure to see you.
21:52
Speaker 2: I've long admired how you've stuck her to very aggressive journalists.
21:59
Speaker 2: I've enjoyed that Marco Rubio gave anti Israel conspiracy theories. Yeah, well,
22:05
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe you should burnish my reputation for
22:09
Speaker 2: being even handed by giving me a blast in some way,
22:11
Speaker 2: gentle blast, but give me one. Marco Rubio gave anti
22:15
Speaker 2: Israel conspiracy theories A lot of ammunition there in that clip.
22:19
Speaker 2: I just showed you saying America joined the attack on
22:22
Speaker 2: around because Israel was going to anyway that made look weak.
22:25
Speaker 2: What did you make of that?
22:28
Speaker 12: You know, people didn't watch the full clip. Secretary of
22:30
Speaker 12: Rubio was very clear this operation was going to happen
22:33
Speaker 12: sooner or later because the Iranian regime was approaching a
22:36
Speaker 12: point of strategic invulnerability. I'll explain. The Iranian regime, which
22:41
Speaker 12: he says is run by religious lunatics, wants to build
22:44
Speaker 12: a nuclear weapon. In order to build a nuclear weapon,
22:47
Speaker 12: it wanted to build enough ballistic missiles and drones that
22:51
Speaker 12: no one would be able to stop it. Now the
22:53
Speaker 12: regime was building one hundred missiles a month, fortifying its
22:58
Speaker 12: underground ballistic missile factories, and acquiring strategic weapons from China
23:02
Speaker 12: that would be a game changer. The Iranian regime was
23:05
Speaker 12: close to the point of having enough firepower that no
23:09
Speaker 12: one would be able to stop it. The military option
23:11
Speaker 12: would not be viable, and if it chose to go
23:14
Speaker 12: and build nuclear weapons, no one would be able to
23:16
Speaker 12: stop it. The negotiators, Steve Whitcoff told us, walked into
23:20
Speaker 12: the room and told the Americans, we have enough nuclear
23:23
Speaker 12: material for eleven bombs. That is our starting position. And
23:27
Speaker 12: Rubio said, if the US Israeli coalition, the two most
23:31
Speaker 12: powerful air forces in the world, did not act, now,
23:34
Speaker 12: we would have reached a point of no return where
23:37
Speaker 12: no one could touch the Iranian regime. So for those
23:40
Speaker 12: saying it's too soon, it's always too soon until it's
23:44
Speaker 12: too late.
23:47
Speaker 2: That's a very good point. And don't forget it is
23:49
Speaker 2: wider implications than just an Iranian attack, bad as that
23:52
Speaker 2: would be. I mean, Ukraine is depending on American missile
23:57
Speaker 2: defenses to defend itself from Russia. In America is freaking
24:01
Speaker 2: what will it have lift if China does go to
24:05
Speaker 2: war ed it is threatened to do. China hasn't expended
24:07
Speaker 2: a single munition in years, while you know, America seems
24:11
Speaker 2: to be finding everything. But now Israel now is going
24:14
Speaker 2: into southern Lebanon again. Why is that?
24:18
Speaker 13: Yeah?
24:18
Speaker 12: First of all, just on this point on China, this
24:20
Speaker 12: is critical to understand what is happening in Iran in
24:23
Speaker 12: a global context. The Chinese, Russian, Iranian North Korean axis
24:28
Speaker 12: is trying to bleed the West dry. It is manufacturing
24:32
Speaker 12: ballistic missiles and drones far faster and cheaper than the West.
24:36
Speaker 12: Can manufacture interceptors. So it is a global danger if
24:40
Speaker 12: the Iranian regime has eight thousand ballistic missiles as it
24:43
Speaker 12: was planning, because there's just no way to suit them
24:46
Speaker 12: out of the sky. And that is a way for
24:47
Speaker 12: China to try to bog down the West and the
24:50
Speaker 12: moderate Arab states, and for Russia as well as they
24:54
Speaker 12: seek expansion beyond their borders. So this is a global danger.
24:57
Speaker 12: Lebanon Hezbola, RAN's proxy army in Lebanon has joined the
25:02
Speaker 12: war on the side of the Iranian regime. Two nights ago,
25:05
Speaker 12: they fired ballistic missiles and drones at northern Israel. Yesterday,
25:11
Speaker 12: for the first time in sixteen months, they fired a
25:13
Speaker 12: ballistic missile at Tel Aviv and we all had to
25:17
Speaker 12: run for shelter, and Israel is saying enough is enough.
25:20
Speaker 12: The last war with Hezbola ended with a diplomatic solution.
25:23
Speaker 12: That's what world leaders wanted, right, a deal that the
25:26
Speaker 12: Lebanese government has to disarm Hezbala.
25:29
Speaker 2: They didn't.
25:30
Speaker 12: They chickened out of a fight, chickened out of a confrontation,
25:34
Speaker 12: didn't confront Hezbola, allowed Hesbala to re arm position forces
25:38
Speaker 12: along Israel's border and We're not going to allow Iran's
25:41
Speaker 12: proxy army in Lebanon to rain missiles and drones an
25:45
Speaker 12: anti tank fire at the communities along the border. So
25:48
Speaker 12: Israel is now operating forcefully against Hezbola to remove the
25:53
Speaker 12: threat of rocket fire and drones against our communities and
25:57
Speaker 12: make sure they can no longer attack Israeli civilians. To
26:00
Speaker 12: try to save the Islamic Republic.
26:04
Speaker 2: You know, Israel's got much less than half Australia's population.
26:09
Speaker 2: Mimhi is fighting on three frants in Gaza, still really
26:15
Speaker 2: in Lebanon and in Iran. There must be some sort
26:18
Speaker 2: of exhaustion setting in here or the blood and the
26:23
Speaker 2: money that's being expended on this. How long do you
26:25
Speaker 2: think before the Isralian public think enough what's going on?
26:29
Speaker 2: What's the support for this?
26:31
Speaker 12: Oh, resolve in Israel is very high, because we want
26:35
Speaker 12: to finish the job. Since October seventh, twenty twenty three,
26:39
Speaker 12: we have been under attack on seven fronts Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria,
26:46
Speaker 12: the West Bank, Iraq, Iran. It has been over two
26:50
Speaker 12: years of a multifront wall waged by the Iranian axis
26:54
Speaker 12: against Israel to try to destroy our country, and that
26:58
Speaker 12: has backfired spectacular in the face of the Iranian axis.
27:02
Speaker 12: Every single terrorist leader who plotted and was involved in
27:06
Speaker 12: October seventh is now dead. Sinhwa Death, Nasralla Jamenai all gone.
27:12
Speaker 12: So Israelis now don't want ballistic missiles. It's scary, it's stressful,
27:17
Speaker 12: you have to run to the shelter. But we can't
27:19
Speaker 12: afford for the Iranian regime to get nuclear weapons. We
27:22
Speaker 12: can't afford for them to build thousands of ballistic missiles.
27:25
Speaker 12: We want to eliminate the threat once and for all
27:28
Speaker 12: of a fundamentalist, fanatic regime that has invested billions in
27:33
Speaker 12: the vision of death to Israel. So if it means
27:36
Speaker 12: running into the bomb shelter a few more times, a
27:38
Speaker 12: few more days, a few more weeks, that's the price
27:40
Speaker 12: that Israelis are willing to pay in order to remove
27:43
Speaker 12: this existential threat to our national survival.
27:48
Speaker 2: And and let me just tell you, there is no once
27:50
Speaker 2: and for all in history. There's always going to be
27:53
Speaker 2: someone else. But yes, I think Israel will be safer now.
27:56
Speaker 2: Once Iran it is the fang that it has been
27:59
Speaker 2: since the creation of the state a very quickly amount
28:02
Speaker 2: of time. But I just know he quicker view from
28:05
Speaker 2: you on this the hatred of the left here for
28:07
Speaker 2: Benjamin Naho, you know, the demonization of him. It's not
28:10
Speaker 2: as here too, you've worked for him. What's he really like?
28:15
Speaker 12: I think the Prime Minister is the ultimate foreign policy realist.
28:19
Speaker 12: He sees through the ball of all the jog and
28:24
Speaker 12: talk of international community and understands that we live in
28:28
Speaker 12: a dangerous region, and in a dangerous region you need
28:30
Speaker 12: to be creative. You need to be forceful because our
28:33
Speaker 12: enemies are not playing by the rules, and you have
28:35
Speaker 12: to be smarter and faster and stronger than them if
28:38
Speaker 12: you want to survive in a dangerous region.
28:42
Speaker 2: Hellen Levy always great to talk to you, howe to
28:45
Speaker 2: have you back very soon. Thank you so much for
28:47
Speaker 2: your time. After the break, the pathetic, the humiliating, the
28:52
Speaker 2: absurd and dangerous decline of Britain. This Prime Minister boast
28:56
Speaker 2: the Muslims is not helping the US war and Iran,
28:58
Speaker 2: and Donald Trump trolls him.
29:01
Speaker 10: This is not Winston Churchill.
29:08
Speaker 2: We've seen for a while now how weak the West
29:10
Speaker 2: has become, how strong its enemies, except of course, two
29:14
Speaker 2: leaders of the West are strong and are now confounding
29:18
Speaker 2: those enemies of the West Benny Minette, Yahoo and Donald Trump.
29:23
Speaker 2: In fact, Trump today blasted one of the weakest leaders
29:26
Speaker 2: now of the west Bridge Preme Ministers, the Keiths Starmer, who,
29:30
Speaker 2: out of colonial guilt, has wanted to give away the
29:34
Speaker 2: Chagos Islands to Mauritius, a country two thousand kilometers away
29:40
Speaker 2: which never owned them in the first place, and is
29:42
Speaker 2: doing this even though the Chagos Islands are home to
29:45
Speaker 2: a critical military base, Diergo Garcia, which is used not
29:50
Speaker 2: just by the UK but by the U S. And
29:52
Speaker 2: Keith Stamer has told Trump he couldn't use this base
29:56
Speaker 2: for this war with Iran. Trump blasted him overnight.
30:00
Speaker 10: It's taken three or four days for us to work
30:04
Speaker 10: out where we can land. There would have been much
30:06
Speaker 10: more convenient landing there as opposed to flying many extra hours.
30:09
Speaker 10: This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with.
30:15
Speaker 2: Johnny is Rondina fro In, chief of The Spectator Australia,
30:18
Speaker 2: host of Outsiders every Sunday at nine am and host
30:20
Speaker 2: of his own show at Fridays at seven pm Rowan.
30:24
Speaker 2: This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with. That's
30:26
Speaker 2: criticism and English Prime minister. That is so devastating, it's
30:30
Speaker 2: all over the British papers. What do you make of this?
30:34
Speaker 13: Well, not surprising, isn't Andrew? I mean it is the
30:36
Speaker 13: ultimate insult. Not Winston Churchill. He could easily have said,
30:41
Speaker 13: not Maggie Thatcher. He could probably have said a few others. Yes,
30:45
Speaker 13: probably applies to several British Prime ministers of recent years.
30:49
Speaker 13: But Kirsteiner is definitely the absolute worst, weakest, most pathetic
30:52
Speaker 13: prime minister that the UK has ever had. His background
30:56
Speaker 13: is the human rights lawyer, which basically says it all.
30:59
Speaker 13: But what we have here is the absolute example of
31:04
Speaker 13: where wokeness has destroyed the West, and the whole issue
31:08
Speaker 13: around Diego Garcia and the Chagos Islands is what happens
31:12
Speaker 13: when you let the woke brigade get their way. Diego
31:15
Speaker 13: Garcia is regarded as the unsinkable aircraft carrier for where
31:20
Speaker 13: it is positioned for US and UK forces, it gives
31:23
Speaker 13: them extraordinary strategic advantage equidistant between the Middle East, Asia
31:30
Speaker 13: and so on. So it's been invaluable in all the
31:33
Speaker 13: previous incursions into the Middle East that certainly the Americans
31:37
Speaker 13: have had to fight or chose to fight, and what
31:41
Speaker 13: happened was basically the International Court of Justice. The same
31:45
Speaker 13: mob or similar to the same mob people who are
31:48
Speaker 13: running around trying to put Benjamin Ettanyahu in jail and
31:52
Speaker 13: all sorts of other things. This woke brigade decided that
31:55
Speaker 13: they had to decolonize Diego Garcia and the Chagos Islands,
32:00
Speaker 13: take it away from Britain. It's been with Britain since
32:02
Speaker 13: the Napoleonic Wars. That it was a French leper colony.
32:06
Speaker 13: I think the British probably made more use of it
32:09
Speaker 13: than maybe the French did. Before that, it was a
32:11
Speaker 13: Spanish Portuguese colony going way back to the fifteen hundreds,
32:15
Speaker 13: so it has been colonized for five hundred years or so.
32:19
Speaker 13: You may as well start trying to decolonize the Islamic world,
32:22
Speaker 13: for instance, or decolonized parts of where China has moved.
32:26
Speaker 13: But no, the woke brigade decided, we're going to decolonize
32:29
Speaker 13: Chargos and the Diego Garcia, give it to Mauritius, as
32:33
Speaker 13: you said, which is nowhere near the place, has never
32:35
Speaker 13: had it. And this is all done to satisfy the
32:37
Speaker 13: woke human rights judges and of course Keir Starma is
32:40
Speaker 13: an ex human rights judge, so he gave the whole
32:43
Speaker 13: thing away. Not only that, he then offered to lease
32:45
Speaker 13: it back for billions of dollars from Mauritius, who couldn't
32:48
Speaker 13: believe their like they said, yeah, Rat, okay, we'll take it.
32:51
Speaker 13: And yeah, sure you can lease it back for billions
32:53
Speaker 13: of dollars. Donald Trump much of my astonishment Andrew right
32:57
Speaker 13: at the beginning of his second term, and I went, oh, yeah, okay,
33:01
Speaker 13: whatever sounds like You've got a good least stitched up
33:04
Speaker 13: one hundred and forty year least. Presumably he was basically
33:06
Speaker 13: told by the Brits that don't worry, it's all perfectly safe.
33:09
Speaker 13: Nothing what could possibly go wrong? And then he realized
33:13
Speaker 13: us soon afterwards that would kiss Starmer in control anything
33:17
Speaker 13: and everything can possibly go wrong. And Andrew, it's an
33:20
Speaker 13: absolute train.
33:21
Speaker 2: The first test, the first test, Rowan, the first test
33:24
Speaker 2: has gone wrong with this war. He can't even land
33:27
Speaker 2: his planes there. I mean, really, if I just can't
33:30
Speaker 2: believe it, I don't know that this deal is going
33:32
Speaker 2: to go through after this, and look to compound it.
33:35
Speaker 2: Rowan to compound at Starmer yesterday even assured and I
33:40
Speaker 2: would say, he boasted to British Muslims at a Ramadan
33:44
Speaker 2: event that he'd never helped Jewish Israel attack Muslim Iran.
33:50
Speaker 2: Here he is and what more do you make it clear?
33:54
Speaker 2: The UK was not involved in the offensive stripes of
33:57
Speaker 2: the US at Israel remains the place that is so
34:04
Speaker 2: telling Roan.
34:05
Speaker 13: Absolute you know, that is the definition of a pusillanimous,
34:09
Speaker 13: absolute cowardice in again in the face of wokeness. So
34:12
Speaker 13: here we have a British Prime Minister so terrified of
34:14
Speaker 13: the Muslim votes that he's got to say to them, well,
34:17
Speaker 13: look at us. And he said it not once, but
34:19
Speaker 13: he said it twice a couple of days earlier. Oh no, no,
34:21
Speaker 13: this attack on Irans nothing to do with us, nothing
34:23
Speaker 13: to do with us. It is absolutely pathetic. Innock Power
34:27
Speaker 13: worned that there would be, you know, a civic strife
34:30
Speaker 13: and so on if immigration got out of control on Britain.
34:33
Speaker 13: But I don't think even Enoch Power could have foreseen
34:36
Speaker 13: a day when the British Prime Minister would be so
34:39
Speaker 13: scared of the Muslim vote that he would be prepared
34:42
Speaker 13: to not only disavow his US allies, but not allowed
34:46
Speaker 13: but allow the great relationship and friendship, the special relationship
34:50
Speaker 13: between Britain and America to be absolutely thrown on the dusty.
34:54
Speaker 13: It's an absolute disgrace. Where's James Bond when you need him?
34:58
Speaker 13: I mean, he'd have sorted all this out, But of
34:59
Speaker 13: course time all woke and this is the result of it.
35:05
Speaker 13: They are a pathetic country compared to what they once were.
35:08
Speaker 13: The decline of the British Empire is an absolute tragedy
35:13
Speaker 13: and just one of the most tragic events of our lifetimes.
35:19
Speaker 2: Well you mentioned I think Admiral Nelson wouldn't recognize what's
35:24
Speaker 2: going on here, or any British admiral of what was
35:28
Speaker 2: once the world's most powerful maritime force until I think
35:32
Speaker 2: World War One. It had the navy that ruled the
35:36
Speaker 2: waves all around the world. But this time, with this war,
35:39
Speaker 2: it didn't have a single ship in the Mediterranean to
35:44
Speaker 2: defend Cyprus and its base there from an Iranian drone attack.
35:48
Speaker 2: The base airport was hit. It is now sending out
35:52
Speaker 2: one ship called the Dragon, which does have missile defense.
35:56
Speaker 2: It's not its best ship, but so many of the
35:59
Speaker 2: other destroyers are stuck in port for repairs or whatever.
36:03
Speaker 2: I mean. Britain and Europe generally is now pathetic.
36:07
Speaker 13: Rowan pathetic Whatever happened to rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves.
36:12
Speaker 13: I mean that was the history of Britain, was the
36:13
Speaker 13: domination of the seas, the defeating of Napoleon, to show
36:16
Speaker 13: that the world that Britain was the greatest maritime force
36:21
Speaker 13: and empire the world had ever known. And how quickly
36:24
Speaker 13: the Brits have just handed it away and let it
36:27
Speaker 13: all disappear. And we're all the poorer for it. Because
36:30
Speaker 13: nothing good I can promise you will come out of
36:34
Speaker 13: the way Kirstarmer is treating Britain's defenses, Nothing good will
36:38
Speaker 13: come out of it. And as for apologizing and dismantling
36:41
Speaker 13: or trashing the American relationship like that, Australia should be
36:46
Speaker 13: worried as well, because this impacts really badly on alcus
36:49
Speaker 13: Our Orchesteal if we can't rely on Britain to be,
36:53
Speaker 13: you know, the reliable partner in the in the threesome.
36:59
Speaker 2: There's such a big change going and makes Donald Trump
37:02
Speaker 2: look all the more startling and in some ways welcome.
37:07
Speaker 2: What a change, What a difference for how do the
37:09
Speaker 2: ordinary that man is compared to what you're seeing.
37:13
Speaker 13: The greatest president in our lifetimes.
37:15
Speaker 2: Now you did tell the road. Being on that note
37:22
Speaker 2: as a seer, thank you so much. See you next
37:27
Speaker 2: week after the break, the biggest bust up in radio history.
37:30
Speaker 2: Just being nasty no longer pay? Can the news be
37:33
Speaker 2: that good? The Liberals have a new federal leader, but
37:42
Speaker 2: they've still got traitors and backstabbers. And this is a
37:45
Speaker 2: serious Some unlinked the party's internal report into how the
37:48
Speaker 2: Liberals lost the election, and the party decided to keep
37:52
Speaker 2: a confidential give new leader Angus Stale and his deputy
37:54
Speaker 2: Jane Hume, clear air so they can attack the government
37:58
Speaker 2: and not talk for about the past. And also because
38:02
Speaker 2: the report was predicted and does attack decisions they also
38:06
Speaker 2: made in the last campaign, bad decisions. Now, whoever lickd
38:10
Speaker 2: that report did Labor a huge favor and we know
38:14
Speaker 2: that because the Prime Minister himself got a copy the
38:17
Speaker 2: report and tabled it in Parliament yesterday so that every
38:19
Speaker 2: journalist could report it. Joining me Gemontonini colonists and communications
38:23
Speaker 2: consultant Caroline Drusso, commentator and President of the West Australian Liberals.
38:27
Speaker 2: Caroline who in the Liberal Party would help labor like
38:30
Speaker 2: that and should they be fired, hunted down like dogs
38:34
Speaker 2: and sacked.
38:35
Speaker 14: Oh oh, now, now look disappointing obviously, the lack of discipline.
38:41
Speaker 14: I'm not going to relitigate that on national television. But
38:45
Speaker 14: the point that you make about the Prime minister here
38:47
Speaker 14: is really interesting because there's so much going on in
38:50
Speaker 14: the world, Andrew. There's so much going on economically here,
38:54
Speaker 14: obviously domestically Iran and the Isis brides and a whole
38:59
Speaker 14: number of other things that the Prime Minister doesn't want
39:01
Speaker 14: to talk about because he doesn't want to be accountable for.
39:04
Speaker 14: And you only have to listen to a few snippets
39:07
Speaker 14: out of what he had to say on ABC seven
39:11
Speaker 14: thirty the other day, and there was a lot of
39:13
Speaker 14: wriggling around. So I think the most important thing, Andrews,
39:17
Speaker 14: the blowtorch goes back on the government and we stopped
39:20
Speaker 14: talking about this distraction.
39:24
Speaker 2: Well you say that, but Jem, I mean in Parliament today,
39:27
Speaker 2: you know it's clear that the blow torches have been
39:30
Speaker 2: given by the Albany's A government to the coalitions in
39:33
Speaker 2: Shadow Treasure Tim Wilson. Because I obviously see him as
39:36
Speaker 2: a threat, but I have to say I liked Tim
39:39
Speaker 2: Wilson but he helped them when he put this question to
39:43
Speaker 2: them in parliament today.
39:45
Speaker 1: Do do do do? Do do do? The treasure did
39:49
Speaker 1: start the inflation fire.
39:50
Speaker 12: The inflation's burning while the treasurer is squirming.
39:54
Speaker 2: The treasure did.
39:55
Speaker 1: Start inflation fire. Yes, it nice crime to fuel.
40:03
Speaker 2: Jim Tonini or the communications consultant communicate and consult on
40:07
Speaker 2: this one.
40:08
Speaker 15: Well, look, I don't like giving advice for free Andrew,
40:11
Speaker 15: but I will in this instance. Don't do that, Tim,
40:13
Speaker 15: don't do that. Don't do that again ever. But can
40:16
Speaker 15: I just can I just circle back and shoot me
40:19
Speaker 15: for you using that phrase? But can I just go
40:20
Speaker 15: back a second to the Liberal Party report because I
40:23
Speaker 15: don't want to say two things. I don't think anyone
40:25
Speaker 15: outside of the parliamentary bubble, the Liberal Party, Labor Party bubble,
40:30
Speaker 15: cares about it. There's a cost of living crisis. There
40:32
Speaker 15: is a national security crisis and a war in the Middle.
40:35
Speaker 7: East that is significant.
40:37
Speaker 15: Nobody cares about that except people in the political bubble.
40:39
Speaker 15: That's the first thing. Second of all, for.
40:41
Speaker 7: My sins, Andrew, I read it.
40:43
Speaker 15: It's publicly available now because it's ready to handsard. It
40:46
Speaker 15: reads like missus Mangle's gossip column from neighbors from Ramsey Street.
40:51
Speaker 15: It's not a particularly well written report. It's not a
40:53
Speaker 15: particularly salacious report. It's actually, in my professional view, not
40:57
Speaker 15: a particularly robust report. I wouldn't I wouldn't wager a
41:00
Speaker 15: bet my learned friends are not allowed to say anything,
41:02
Speaker 15: but I wouldn't wageerr a bet that they kept it
41:05
Speaker 15: quiet because the report was a bit embarrassing. It's not
41:07
Speaker 15: particularly well written. I don't think the Australian public cares.
41:09
Speaker 15: I think they care about the cost of living and
41:11
Speaker 15: they care about national security.
41:15
Speaker 2: I read one page in particular that it might come
41:17
Speaker 2: back to tomorrow that struck me as particularly inane. To
41:21
Speaker 2: be honest, Caroline, no, it does. Essentially the advice is
41:27
Speaker 2: treat Australia like a hotel because it's changed character will. Honestly,
41:32
Speaker 2: that's the advice of one nation is going it is, Caroline.
41:38
Speaker 2: We've just seen the explosion of the most expensive team
41:41
Speaker 2: in Australian media history, and this is probably one reason
41:44
Speaker 2: why so many journalists are gloating about a lot of
41:47
Speaker 2: chardon freud are going on here. KISSFM signed up presenters
41:51
Speaker 2: Carl Sandalan's and Jackie O for about one hundred million
41:54
Speaker 2: dollars each over ten years. But after just two years,
41:58
Speaker 2: Sandalan's gave Jackie spray, which is made in out pull
42:03
Speaker 2: the plug. Here's just some of it.
42:05
Speaker 16: Every one you can see has had something over the
42:08
Speaker 16: last month. It doesn't have to be this big thing here.
42:11
Speaker 16: It's not great. It's just a fact. I'm not lying
42:15
Speaker 16: to her to make her feel bad. This is actually
42:18
Speaker 16: what people have said to me. I've got no issue,
42:21
Speaker 16: but it is affecting everything else, not tip a toeing
42:24
Speaker 16: through this book for another couple of weeks. This is constant.
42:27
Speaker 16: You don't know what all the time because you're looking
42:29
Speaker 16: at that phone playing in the stars, and it's ridiculous.
42:34
Speaker 2: Checkie was a stretchous walk to Sandlers was suspended. He
42:37
Speaker 2: must show causeway it shouldn't be sacked. How big a
42:40
Speaker 2: deal is all this?
42:43
Speaker 14: Well, in a country that is more interested in mass
42:46
Speaker 14: than what is going on in parliament, this is actually
42:48
Speaker 14: probably a pretty big thing. I think more people are
42:51
Speaker 14: reading about this in the Daily Mail than anything else. Look,
42:55
Speaker 14: I find Kyle's behavior pretty abrasive, and you know, it
43:01
Speaker 14: apparently seems to work, but I think maybe he may
43:04
Speaker 14: have just crossed the line this time. Again, I can't
43:08
Speaker 14: believe that we've had this massive commercial relationship blow up
43:13
Speaker 14: over someone's use of astrology and that someone else thinks
43:16
Speaker 14: it's stupid. So look, I mean, they're part of the
43:20
Speaker 14: legacy media. You wonder what happens after this, Andrew, Did
43:23
Speaker 14: they go start a podcast each to make a whole
43:26
Speaker 14: heit more money?
43:29
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think they got paid over
43:31
Speaker 2: the odds. The station had to sack loss of staff
43:33
Speaker 2: to pay for it. They're bombed in Melbourne, and I
43:36
Speaker 2: think the station is privately glad that they can rip
43:39
Speaker 2: the contract up. But Jemma, what is the moral to all?
43:44
Speaker 2: This is being mean now not quite as lucrative as
43:49
Speaker 2: it used to be.
43:50
Speaker 15: Look, I've never been a fan of the shock jock thing, Andrew,
43:53
Speaker 15: so I feel a little bit unqualified, But it's never
43:55
Speaker 15: stopped me before, So why not answer the question?
44:00
Speaker 7: True story?
44:01
Speaker 15: One must be acquainted with one's weaknesses.
44:04
Speaker 7: I don't.
44:05
Speaker 15: I'm an employer, as you know, and taking that out
44:08
Speaker 15: of the context of that radio show and into any
44:10
Speaker 15: other place of employment, his behavior, in my view and
44:14
Speaker 15: my experience, would have been untenable.
44:15
Speaker 7: Is it sackable? Depends on your contract.
44:17
Speaker 15: But publicly abusing a co worker and publicly telling your
44:21
Speaker 15: coworker that everybody in the office essentially hates them. I
44:24
Speaker 15: don't think that would fly in many workplaces, if any.
44:26
Speaker 15: And also it's just not I don't know if people.
44:29
Speaker 7: Want to listen to that.
44:30
Speaker 15: There's so much negativity in the world anyway, do people
44:33
Speaker 15: really want to listen to that.
44:34
Speaker 7: You've mentioned that they bombed in Melbourne.
44:36
Speaker 15: I saw something on the Beltow Times just before coming
44:39
Speaker 15: on air. And for those who are uninitiated, it is
44:41
Speaker 15: a West Australian gem get amongst it and it's a
44:44
Speaker 15: satire account obviously, and the headline read new report confirms
44:48
Speaker 15: that West Australians continue to cease caring about Kyle and
44:51
Speaker 15: Jackie O. I don't even think they're broadcast in WA.
44:54
Speaker 15: They've never been a thing, so look, I don't I
44:58
Speaker 15: don't know that I would have spent one hundred mil.
45:00
Speaker 7: On those two over ten years. I wouldn't have done that.
45:05
Speaker 2: Well, I'd just say that JACKIEO enabled him and went
45:09
Speaker 2: along with him being mean to a lot of other people.
45:11
Speaker 2: But now that he's been mean to her the whole
45:14
Speaker 2: the joke's over anyway, So there it is. Iranians, Caroline,
45:19
Speaker 2: Iranians are celebrating the assassination of an unsupreme leader and
45:24
Speaker 2: even cheering the attacks on his Islamus regime by Israel
45:28
Speaker 2: and America. But meanwhile, here at home, we've seen the
45:32
Speaker 2: Greens and the ABC and you know, people who have
45:35
Speaker 2: never had to suffer from anything that the Iranian regime
45:39
Speaker 2: has done to them, never had to suffer, they're attacking
45:44
Speaker 2: these attacks. It's a very interesting dichotomy. You explain that,
45:47
Speaker 2: please by, the Iranians are happy and the Greens and
45:50
Speaker 2: the ABC here are sad.
45:54
Speaker 14: Well, it's inexplicable when you think about this rationally. But
45:58
Speaker 14: the ABCA and Greens, all, they've been raving over authoritarian
46:03
Speaker 14: dictators for a very long time. So it doesn't surprise
46:06
Speaker 14: me that they're upset about this or that they would
46:08
Speaker 14: necessarily criticize someone who had suffered under this regime. I mean,
46:13
Speaker 14: for the sorts of people that talk a lot about humanitarianism,
46:16
Speaker 14: and you know, but it's all very convenient. It's when
46:20
Speaker 14: that is convenient to them, it's when it suits. And unfortunately,
46:24
Speaker 14: when things like this happen, and we know that this
46:27
Speaker 14: has been a very very brutal regime. We know people
46:29
Speaker 14: have been leaving there over the course of almost the
46:32
Speaker 14: last fifty years to escape persecution and the like. The
46:36
Speaker 14: fact that the ABC can carry on like this, well,
46:39
Speaker 14: it's just another example, Andrew, of the hypocrisy, the lack
46:43
Speaker 14: of understanding, and the tone deafness that we've come to
46:47
Speaker 14: love about the National Broadcaster.
46:51
Speaker 2: It's interesting in a gentlemen leftist hero Bill Clinton Bond Serbia,
46:57
Speaker 2: no problem, I mean Barack Obama bomb that Libya lefted
47:00
Speaker 2: a smoking ruin over run by militias, with Maham mc
47:05
Speaker 2: gaddafi murdered in the most so have seen away. I
47:09
Speaker 2: can't even describe it. Not a problem. But when Donald
47:12
Speaker 2: Trump overturns this regime or tries to, oh, suddenly it's
47:17
Speaker 2: evil personified.
47:18
Speaker 7: Well, the simple fact for this cohort we're talking.
47:20
Speaker 15: About is that they so despise the liberators that they
47:25
Speaker 15: would deny freedom to the people.
47:27
Speaker 7: Who are oppressed.
47:28
Speaker 15: And it's perverted and it's twisted, and it makes no
47:32
Speaker 15: objective sense. It certainly makes them not students of history
47:35
Speaker 15: because they seem to they seem to forget the circumstances
47:39
Speaker 15: under which the Iotola stole power back in nineteen seventy nine,
47:45
Speaker 15: and the fact that he flew in on an Air
47:47
Speaker 15: France jet after having lived very happily in France, enjoying
47:51
Speaker 15: all of the freedoms of the West. And might I
47:53
Speaker 15: remind our friends at the ABC and other places that
47:56
Speaker 15: many of the children of mostly than our ceased, I
48:00
Speaker 15: should say, leadership of the IGC in the Iranian regime
48:03
Speaker 15: live in Western countries, live and study abroad in Western countries,
48:07
Speaker 15: dressing like young the same young Westerners that the constitution
48:13
Speaker 15: of the Iranian regime swears to do away with. Death
48:16
Speaker 15: to America, death to Israel. I don't understand why we
48:20
Speaker 15: have a cohort of such illiterate, historically illiterate people presenting
48:26
Speaker 15: themselves as experts. And I can tell you what the
48:29
Speaker 15: one divider is, Andrew, and the one line in the
48:31
Speaker 15: sand is you ask yourself this question.
48:33
Speaker 7: And I asked this to.
48:34
Speaker 15: Those learned friends down at the National Broadcaster. Would you
48:37
Speaker 15: be happy for your daughter to go live under that regime?
48:40
Speaker 15: Would you be happy for your wife or your mother
48:42
Speaker 15: to go live under that regime or your son? And
48:44
Speaker 15: if the answer is not absolutely, I'll find the ticket tomorrow.
48:48
Speaker 7: Then you're nothing but a hypocrite.
48:50
Speaker 2: I got to go how true gem and toon Nini, Carolindarusso,
48:54
Speaker 2: thank you so much, Sherry Marxen up next good night,
