Speaker 1: Late wait General, welcome to the lait To base.
0:07
Speaker 2: Well, good evening and thanks for joining us.
0:09
Speaker 3: I'm James Macpherson with freyer Leitch and Caleb Bond coming
0:12
Speaker 3: up tonight. A truck driver left dangling over a massive
0:15
Speaker 3: cliff after a bridge collapse. Will show you the incredible
0:19
Speaker 3: footage plus the offer for help. And when we get
0:22
Speaker 3: to the papers, an amazing story on the front page
0:24
Speaker 3: of Tomorrow's Australian. A street sweeper wins in court after
0:29
Speaker 3: being sacked for objecting to Welcome to country, and Labour
0:33
Speaker 3: MPs skip Parliament in Queensland to travel the state criticizing
0:37
Speaker 3: the budget. All of that when we get to tomorrow's headlines.
0:41
Speaker 3: But first, the ceasefire in the Middle East appears to
0:43
Speaker 3: be holding, and in a sign of confidence, Donald Trump
0:46
Speaker 3: has ordered the US embassy in Jerusalem to reopen, as
0:49
Speaker 3: well as advising consular staff and their families that they
0:52
Speaker 3: can go about business as per normal. Trump himself is
0:56
Speaker 3: in Europe for the NATO summit, where he told reporters
0:59
Speaker 3: his attack on Tehran to end the war was the
1:02
Speaker 3: modern day equivalent of the attack on Hiroshima to end
1:06
Speaker 3: the conflict with the Japanese I don't want to use.
1:09
Speaker 4: An example of Hiroshima. I don't want to use an
1:13
Speaker 4: example of Nagasaki. But that was essentially the same thing
1:17
Speaker 4: that ended that war. This ended that with the war.
1:20
Speaker 4: If we didn't take that out, they would have been
1:21
Speaker 4: they'd be fighting right now.
1:23
Speaker 3: But it wasn't all good news for Trump, and US
1:27
Speaker 3: intelligence report linked to CNN claims that the US attack
1:32
Speaker 3: didn't do that much damage to Iran's nuclear capabilities, at worst,
1:36
Speaker 3: setting them back just a.
1:37
Speaker 2: Couple of months.
1:38
Speaker 3: So having attacked Iran, Trump then went nuclear on the
1:43
Speaker 3: US media.
1:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, some great reporters, but you have scum. CNN is scum,
1:53
Speaker 4: MSDS is scum. The New York Times is scum. They're
1:57
Speaker 4: bad people, they're sick, and what they've done is trying
2:00
Speaker 4: to make this unbelievable victory into something worse.
2:05
Speaker 3: So now Trump is an argument Caleb with, Well, it's
2:09
Speaker 3: a leaked report. It's not a direct report, it's a leak,
2:12
Speaker 3: So CNNA trusting the leaker and his version of what
2:16
Speaker 3: this report says.
2:18
Speaker 2: It's pretty important to.
2:19
Speaker 3: Trump to have seen to have won this victory and
2:22
Speaker 3: to have obliterated Around's nuclear capabilities. But he either has
2:26
Speaker 3: or he hasn't, and to be honest, it's going to
2:28
Speaker 3: be some time before intelligence on the ground can confirm
2:32
Speaker 3: exactly what damage is being done.
2:34
Speaker 5: That's correct. And I was certainly skeptical of the claims,
2:37
Speaker 5: you know, basically straight away on the weekend that they
2:40
Speaker 5: had destroyed their nuclear capabilities, because how do you know that?
2:44
Speaker 5: I mean, they sent bombs the buster I keep missing
2:48
Speaker 5: this up busker busting, bunker busting bombs that are meant
2:52
Speaker 5: to be destroying things seventy meters underground, and no one
2:55
Speaker 5: has yet been seventy meters underground to actually have a
2:58
Speaker 5: look to see what it may or may not done.
3:00
Speaker 5: We can certainly see what it's done from the surface,
3:03
Speaker 5: which would appear to be that it's blocked entry points
3:05
Speaker 5: to these stations and may will have destroyed stuff within it,
3:11
Speaker 5: but we don't know exactly how much enriched uranium that
3:14
Speaker 5: they may will have already moved out before they were struck.
3:18
Speaker 5: We don't know exactly how much damage has been done within.
3:21
Speaker 5: So I did think it was a bit rich for
3:23
Speaker 5: the present, and then Pete Hegseth the following morning to
3:26
Speaker 5: straight up say, well, we've destroyed it, because we don't
3:29
Speaker 5: actually know that, and the International Atomic Agency didn't actually
3:34
Speaker 5: detect any extra radiation coming out of those sites post
3:38
Speaker 5: the attack, so it may well be that all of
3:41
Speaker 5: that enriched uranium had been taken to another location. So
3:45
Speaker 5: you can understand, of course why CNN and other places
3:48
Speaker 5: would want to get this out there as far and
3:50
Speaker 5: wide as possible in the manner they have, because of
3:52
Speaker 5: course they want to discredit Trump by any means necessary.
3:55
Speaker 2: But the point still.
3:56
Speaker 5: Remains, regardless of whether this obliterate everything they had or not,
4:02
Speaker 5: it has put them on the back foot, particularly when
4:05
Speaker 5: it comes to this war. It has achieved the aim
4:09
Speaker 5: that Trump went out to achieve. So you can't argue
4:13
Speaker 5: with the point of what he did and what it's achieved,
4:16
Speaker 5: because the reality is, let's be honest, that you're never
4:19
Speaker 5: going to stop Iran from enriching uranium if it wants
4:23
Speaker 5: to without literally killing every nuclear scientist in Iran, every
4:29
Speaker 5: person who would have an issue with the United States
4:32
Speaker 5: or Israel in Iran, which is never going to happen.
4:35
Speaker 5: So whatever deals you come up with, whatever bombs you
4:37
Speaker 5: drop on them, there's always going to be someone trying
4:40
Speaker 5: to do something. What they're talking about in CNNA Tetri
4:43
Speaker 5: does not discredit the work of.
4:45
Speaker 6: Truck Well, and I think one thing we can be
4:48
Speaker 6: sure of is that if there is any enriched uranium
4:51
Speaker 6: left and any nuclear infrastructure left, Israel will find it
4:55
Speaker 6: and Israel will try to destroy it. That's why I
4:58
Speaker 6: don't really understand what's so dramatic about this report. It's
5:01
Speaker 6: like it's in Israel's existential interest to find the nuclear
5:06
Speaker 6: science and the enriched uranium. I think they're going to
5:09
Speaker 6: do it. They already had agents at all levels, including
5:13
Speaker 6: very high levels of the Iranian regime, feeding back intelligence,
5:17
Speaker 6: which is why the initial attack on Iran has been
5:20
Speaker 6: so successful. So I'm not too worried about this. The
5:23
Speaker 6: other question is who is leaking this? And this seems
5:25
Speaker 6: to be a consistent theme in the US's intelligence operations.
5:29
Speaker 6: They are supposedly the leaders of the free world. If
5:32
Speaker 6: they can't have briefings within the White House's own intelligence
5:36
Speaker 6: department stay confidential, I think that is a critical concern
5:40
Speaker 6: for the administration. And thirdly, wasn't the US intelligence community
5:47
Speaker 6: just a couple of weeks ago saying Iran wasn't even
5:49
Speaker 6: trying to create a nuclear bomb?
5:51
Speaker 7: Wasn't that the whole thing that was used to say no,
5:54
Speaker 7: the US shouldn't.
5:55
Speaker 6: Go in and then now what a week later, know
5:57
Speaker 6: they were trying to enrich it and actually you haven't
6:00
Speaker 6: destroyed all of it.
6:01
Speaker 7: This seems like a bit of a flip flop.
6:02
Speaker 2: Well, Trump's at least an invoice.
6:04
Speaker 3: Steve Whickcoff said whoever made the leak to C and
6:07
Speaker 3: M should be charged with trees and his comments.
6:12
Speaker 7: You know what we're talking about with this leaked intel report.
6:17
Speaker 8: Well it goes without saying that that leaking that type
6:20
Speaker 8: of information, whatever the information, whatever side it comes out on,
6:24
Speaker 8: is outrageous. It's it's treasonous. So it ought to be
6:28
Speaker 8: investigated and whoever did it, whoever is responsible for it,
6:31
Speaker 8: should have been He should be held accountable. It could
6:34
Speaker 8: hurt lives in the future. Leaking is completely unacceptable.
6:40
Speaker 2: Still, Trump's not letting any of this get him down.
6:42
Speaker 3: He posted this video on his social media account earlier today.
6:47
Speaker 9: Bomb bom bom bom, bomb Land really hard.
7:43
Speaker 3: So there you go, Donald Trump making war fun again.
7:45
Speaker 3: As the US president. He has walked back his calls
7:49
Speaker 3: for regime change or his suggestions that that is possible.
7:53
Speaker 2: Speaking at the NATO summit.
7:55
Speaker 3: He said that the Iranians are good traders, they're good
7:58
Speaker 3: business people, and they've got a lot of oil, so
8:00
Speaker 3: they should be fine. They're never going to have nuclear
8:03
Speaker 3: but other than that, they should do a great job
8:06
Speaker 3: moving forward. So Trump clearly trying to calm things down now.
8:10
Speaker 3: Israel responded to his overtures not to retaliate for the
8:13
Speaker 3: broken cease fire. There are discussions now, I believe happening
8:18
Speaker 3: between America and Iran to try and normalize affairs. So
8:23
Speaker 3: hopefully things will move ahead calmly.
8:26
Speaker 5: What a shame. Brian Wilson from The Beach Boys signed
8:29
Speaker 5: it out a week ago. He wasn't here to see
8:31
Speaker 5: that magnificent work done with his song, And of course
8:36
Speaker 5: I've just got to show you to you again because
8:38
Speaker 5: I just love the clip so much. Another bomb the
8:41
Speaker 5: Trump was talking about last night.
8:42
Speaker 10: Yes, we basically have two countries that have been fighting
8:47
Speaker 10: so long and so hard that.
8:49
Speaker 11: They don't know what the fuck they're doing.
8:52
Speaker 7: God, that clip just goes so hard.
8:54
Speaker 5: I send it to so many people today describing situations
8:58
Speaker 5: in my life. You know, the horse trainer in mar
9:01
Speaker 5: Ca sends your horse out to do something that you know,
9:04
Speaker 5: the horse doesn't want to do or when you go
9:06
Speaker 5: to the fish and chip shop and the man doesn't
9:08
Speaker 5: offer you chicken salt. These are the situations where you
9:12
Speaker 5: may well want to whip out that video and use
9:14
Speaker 5: it for other purposes. Of course, Donald Trump, those cripts
9:17
Speaker 5: we showed you earlier is at DATO where he is
9:19
Speaker 5: at the moment. He's due to speak again later this evening,
9:23
Speaker 5: so we'll bring you any of that if and when
9:25
Speaker 5: it happens. But of course Trump going to NATO has
9:29
Speaker 5: really shaken this meeting up because they were hoping that
9:33
Speaker 5: this would be this is a week or two ago,
9:35
Speaker 5: that this would be a pretty uneventful NATO meeting, of course,
9:38
Speaker 5: on the backdrop of what is still going on in
9:41
Speaker 5: Ukraine and Russia. They were hoping this would be pretty
9:44
Speaker 5: smooth and they get through it without any troubles and
9:47
Speaker 5: Trump wouldn't cause them any grief. Well, of course that's
9:50
Speaker 5: the exact opposite of what has happened, given the events
9:54
Speaker 5: of the weekend. But I tell you what, it has shuck, shook,
9:59
Speaker 5: shuck and people.
10:00
Speaker 2: He's shaken people.
10:01
Speaker 5: I'm really struggling tonight with some of these words. It
10:05
Speaker 5: has shaken people into action, and we really have to
10:09
Speaker 5: thank Trump for this, whether it's and I know people
10:12
Speaker 5: were critical of the way that he approached Zelenski and
10:16
Speaker 5: the Russia is RICHU a while ago, but I think
10:20
Speaker 5: that scared the EU and a lot of Europe into
10:22
Speaker 5: action when it came to their military investment and spending,
10:25
Speaker 5: so ultimately that was a good thing for the rest
10:28
Speaker 5: of the world. Trump going there this week, having done
10:31
Speaker 5: what he has done in Iran and being praised so
10:35
Speaker 5: openly by NATO for doing so, has opened the door
10:39
Speaker 5: to other nations saying, well, we need to up our
10:42
Speaker 5: game as well, including the UK Siki Stama going out
10:47
Speaker 5: to buy a whole bunch of new planes that they
10:50
Speaker 5: could fit with the US nuclear weapons, etc. You know, Trump,
10:55
Speaker 5: through in peace through strength has been what he's talked
10:57
Speaker 5: about for a long time, has demonstrated how that can work,
11:02
Speaker 5: and he's finally scared people into realizing if we don't
11:05
Speaker 5: do something ourselves, we are at the mercy of the
11:09
Speaker 5: United States to do what it wants when it wants.
11:12
Speaker 5: And I think part of why Trump went so hard
11:14
Speaker 5: last night about the ceasefire is he is demonstrating that sure,
11:19
Speaker 5: I'm willing to come to the aid of my allies,
11:22
Speaker 5: but don't cross me after I've helped you. This doesn't
11:26
Speaker 5: come with no strings attached. I am dictating terms here,
11:30
Speaker 5: and other nations such as the UK are starting to realize.
11:33
Speaker 3: But by the way, sorry, just quickly, all these people
11:35
Speaker 3: that say, oh, Trump's just in Israel's pockets, He's been
11:38
Speaker 3: controlled by he pretty clearly demonstrated last night he is
11:41
Speaker 3: not in anybody's pocket.
11:42
Speaker 2: He will do what he believes is best.
11:44
Speaker 3: For the United States, best for peace, whether net Yahoo
11:48
Speaker 3: agrees with it or not. So all those people talking
11:50
Speaker 3: about all these conspiracy theories, and I think it's proved
11:53
Speaker 3: pretty well last night.
11:55
Speaker 2: Trump's his own man.
11:56
Speaker 6: And ultimately, isn't that how every government should operate. Every
11:59
Speaker 6: government should put their own national interests first. The Israelis
12:02
Speaker 6: are naturally going to always act in their own interests. Likewise,
12:05
Speaker 6: the Americans likewise, if only our Australian government did the
12:08
Speaker 6: same thing. But alas they're not. But as well, if
12:11
Speaker 6: you remember, in Trump's first term, there were the hysterical
12:14
Speaker 6: leftists in the media who was saying Trump is blowing
12:17
Speaker 6: up NATO, He's going to walk away from NATO, all
12:21
Speaker 6: because he said, if you don't pull your weight, this
12:24
Speaker 6: thing is over.
12:26
Speaker 7: And it was almost prophetic. If he hadn't shook.
12:30
Speaker 6: Them out of their slumber back then, I mean the
12:33
Speaker 6: instability that we're in now, it could have.
12:36
Speaker 7: Been so much worse.
12:38
Speaker 6: And I also think on the other side, the Europeans
12:41
Speaker 6: especially are definitely learning the art of dealing with Trump.
12:45
Speaker 6: He got a literally a royal welcome in the Netherlands
12:50
Speaker 6: by the King and Queen of the Netherlands, and they
12:53
Speaker 6: even rolled out the red carpet for him. And that
12:57
Speaker 6: is ultimately how you deal with Trump. You have to
13:00
Speaker 6: show him respect. It's all about the deal. And another
13:04
Speaker 6: person who finally got the message about respect was Zelenski,
13:09
Speaker 6: the President of Ukraine, who rocked up in a suit
13:12
Speaker 6: this time after being chastised for rucking up to the
13:15
Speaker 6: Oval office it is army ensemble.
13:18
Speaker 7: This time he wore a suit.
13:20
Speaker 6: So I think it's fair to say that all parties
13:22
Speaker 6: are learning how to get along with each other. They're
13:25
Speaker 6: learning each other's quirks and ultimately how to show respect
13:29
Speaker 6: to America, which is what they deserve.
13:32
Speaker 3: We should quote the text that was sent to Donald
13:34
Speaker 3: Trump when he was on his way to NATO from
13:37
Speaker 3: the NATO Secretary General. This was a private text that
13:40
Speaker 3: then Trump thought, you know what everybody needs to know
13:43
Speaker 3: just how good I am, and so he published it
13:45
Speaker 3: for everyone to read. Mister President, dear Donald, congratulations and
13:49
Speaker 3: thank you for your decisive action in Iran that was
13:51
Speaker 3: truly extraordinary and something no one else dared to do.
13:54
Speaker 3: Remember this is from the NATO Secretary General. He goes
13:57
Speaker 3: on to say that Trump's made us all safer. You're
14:00
Speaker 3: flying into another big success in the Hague this evening.
14:02
Speaker 3: It wasn't easy, but you've got them all signed on
14:05
Speaker 3: to five percent. Donald, You've driven us to a really
14:08
Speaker 3: really important moment for America and Europe and the world.
14:11
Speaker 3: You will achieve something no American president in decades could
14:14
Speaker 3: get done. Europe is going to pay in a big way,
14:17
Speaker 3: as they should, and it will be your win. Safe travels,
14:20
Speaker 3: and see you at His Majesty's dinner. Mark Rutty, who
14:24
Speaker 3: is the NATO Secretary General. Compare that with the way
14:27
Speaker 3: Joe Biden would be treated at these international affairs.
14:31
Speaker 2: I remember, not that long ago a meeting and you had.
14:35
Speaker 3: The Italian leader, you had the French leader, and you
14:39
Speaker 3: had the German leader. And you had Joe Biden, who
14:41
Speaker 3: do you remember he sort of wandered off to look
14:43
Speaker 3: at some parachuters.
14:44
Speaker 2: Over here and literally had to be.
14:46
Speaker 3: Guided back to the gathering by other world leaders. Donald
14:50
Speaker 3: Trump walks in and talk about big dog energy. The
14:53
Speaker 3: whole world knows who the leader of the free world is.
14:56
Speaker 3: And Trump has NATO lifting their spend. Sudden, the West
15:00
Speaker 3: looks strong. It's amazing what leadership is always the problem
15:04
Speaker 3: and it's always the solution. And it's amazing how strong
15:07
Speaker 3: the West is starting to look under the leadership of
15:10
Speaker 3: a strong Donald Trump.
15:11
Speaker 5: Now, well, you remember the film Team America World Police, Yes,
15:15
Speaker 5: and the song America you can fill in the blank. Yeah,
15:20
Speaker 5: you know, that's sort of what it feels like is
15:22
Speaker 5: going on.
15:23
Speaker 11: Though.
15:23
Speaker 5: How good.
15:24
Speaker 2: I who's not looking strong though?
15:26
Speaker 3: Just before we move any further, and that of course
15:28
Speaker 3: is Australia.
15:30
Speaker 2: Check out this group photo I think we can show you.
15:32
Speaker 2: They have their.
15:33
Speaker 3: Photograph of everyone in attendance at NATO. You can see
15:36
Speaker 3: Trump there in the front, just to the left of
15:39
Speaker 3: the Queen, and there's Richard Miles, the Australian Deputy Prime
15:43
Speaker 3: Minister right on the outer there, and now.
15:45
Speaker 2: Of course I.
15:46
Speaker 3: Understand photographers probably order where everybody stands, so maybe there's
15:50
Speaker 3: nothing in it. But the problem is when Australia's relationship
15:54
Speaker 3: with the US is so fractured at the moment, people
15:58
Speaker 3: read things into every thing, and the fact we're reading
16:01
Speaker 3: something into that is entirely the Albanese government's fault because
16:05
Speaker 3: they've created this.
16:06
Speaker 5: You look like you're I'm reading into I mean, we're not,
16:11
Speaker 5: And the.
16:11
Speaker 3: Albaneze government has created a situation where we do read
16:14
Speaker 3: things into perhaps stuff that's not there.
16:16
Speaker 2: We were never going to be, That's what we've created.
16:19
Speaker 5: We were never going to be in the front row.
16:20
Speaker 5: We're not a member of NATA. We're there as an observer.
16:23
Speaker 5: We weren't going to be standing next to Donald Trump were.
16:26
Speaker 3: Well, we certainly shouldn't be right on the outer as
16:29
Speaker 3: one of the key allies of the United States in
16:31
Speaker 3: the position it.
16:32
Speaker 6: Is very indicative of where we stand, not just in
16:34
Speaker 6: the eyes of America, but I think in the eyes
16:36
Speaker 6: of the world. They look at Australia right now and
16:39
Speaker 6: just go like, who are we, what do we do,
16:41
Speaker 6: what do we stand for? What value do we bring
16:44
Speaker 6: to the free world? No one really knows anymore. But
16:48
Speaker 6: I also have a theory that Miles was told by
16:52
Speaker 6: Albanesi to avoid Trump at all costs, because imagine how
16:56
Speaker 6: embarrassing it would have been for Albanesi if Miles did
16:59
Speaker 6: get the meeting with Trump before.
17:01
Speaker 2: Almost more embarrassing than that.
17:03
Speaker 3: I read tonight that the leader of Papua New Guinea
17:05
Speaker 3: is organizing a meeting with Donald Trump. If the leader
17:08
Speaker 3: of POG, God bless all our friends in p and G.
17:11
Speaker 3: But if the leader of p and G gets a
17:13
Speaker 3: meeting with Trump before Alberanizi does, that is.
17:16
Speaker 5: Embarrassed and Alba were really upset because the leader of
17:20
Speaker 5: Papua New Guinea will be able to talk about how
17:22
Speaker 5: he's getting a new rugby league team before the Prime
17:25
Speaker 5: Minister has been able to talk about his beloved rabbitos
17:27
Speaker 5: to the president. And Trump's up for a Nobel Peace
17:30
Speaker 5: Prize now is all. Pakistan's nominated him for the work
17:34
Speaker 5: he did working with Pakistan and India over the conflict.
17:37
Speaker 5: Of course that's been going on in cash me, so
17:39
Speaker 5: you know, it's a hell of a week.
17:41
Speaker 3: When he's also been nominated by a Republican politician, as
17:45
Speaker 3: you would expect, but Funnily enough, he was nominated a
17:48
Speaker 3: third time for a Nobel Peace Prize, but that nomination
17:51
Speaker 3: has been withdrawn. He was nominated by a Ukrainian politician
17:55
Speaker 3: who said he only nominated Trump some time ago to
17:58
Speaker 3: try and egg Trump into creating peace in order to
18:01
Speaker 3: get the award, But now dissatisfied with the progress in Ukraine,
18:05
Speaker 3: that politician has withdrawn his nomination.
18:07
Speaker 6: And also it is worth noting that Pakistan's intention to
18:11
Speaker 6: nominate Trump was announced before Trump struck Iran, and now
18:15
Speaker 6: Pakistan saying Trump has blood on his hands, they phoned
18:18
Speaker 6: Iran expressing their condemnation. So you never know, Pakistan might
18:22
Speaker 6: also withdraw the nomination. But this certainly isn't the weirdest one.
18:26
Speaker 6: I mean, Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize in two
18:29
Speaker 6: thousand and nine before he had even.
18:32
Speaker 7: Done anything, and everyone admitted it.
18:34
Speaker 6: They said, oh, well, it's just to raise his profile
18:36
Speaker 6: and the ideals of democracy.
18:38
Speaker 3: They said he'd changed the tone of the discussion. In
18:41
Speaker 3: another wids, he literally got a Peace Prize nine months
18:43
Speaker 3: into his presidency for the vibe.
18:46
Speaker 6: The vibe, I mean Ya sa Arafat, the leader of
18:49
Speaker 6: the Palestinian Liberation Organization a terrorist group also got a
18:54
Speaker 6: Nobel Peace Prize, So I mean maybe Trump actually would
18:58
Speaker 6: be one of the most meritorious candidates given its past
19:03
Speaker 6: past recipients.
19:04
Speaker 5: Well, you certainly changed the vibe. Speaking of the vibe,
19:07
Speaker 5: that's all you will need now to change your gender
19:10
Speaker 5: in New South Wales it's the last state, funnily enough,
19:13
Speaker 5: where they've done this. This law was passed in October
19:15
Speaker 5: last year, but it's coming into effect next Tuesday, where
19:19
Speaker 5: in New South Wales you will be able to change
19:21
Speaker 5: your gender on your birth certificate without having to have
19:24
Speaker 5: had any kind of gender reassignment surgery. As I say,
19:28
Speaker 5: every other state has already done this. I'm surprised that
19:31
Speaker 5: New South Wales is the last one to bring it in,
19:34
Speaker 5: but they are. You'll be able to change your gender
19:38
Speaker 5: once a year as many times as so I can be,
19:43
Speaker 5: as a resident of New South Wales as of next Tuesday, female,
19:47
Speaker 5: and then next year I could elect to be non binary,
19:50
Speaker 5: and then the year after that I could elect to
19:52
Speaker 5: be not specified, that's one of the options, and then
19:55
Speaker 5: I can go back to being a male, and then
19:57
Speaker 5: I can be female again. I mean, you know, depending
20:00
Speaker 5: on what clubs I want to join or what toilets
20:03
Speaker 5: I want to use. I suppose I just go down
20:06
Speaker 5: to birth, Deaths and Marriages and say, well, sign me up.
20:09
Speaker 5: The Customer Service Minister ghadb in New South Wales was
20:13
Speaker 5: in Parliament yesterday saying that this would be next Tuesday
20:17
Speaker 5: a very special.
20:18
Speaker 1: Day because from next Tuesday it's going to be easier
20:22
Speaker 1: for the people of New South Wales for gender diverse
20:25
Speaker 1: people to be able to update their birth certificate. And
20:28
Speaker 1: up until now, New South Wales has been the only
20:31
Speaker 1: jurisdiction where it required a person to undergo surgery to
20:35
Speaker 1: be able to change their registered sex. But the amendments
20:38
Speaker 1: that have been made to the Birth Test and Marriages
20:40
Speaker 1: Registration Act nineteen ninety five, something I share with the
20:43
Speaker 1: Attorney General, do away with this requirement and now bring
20:47
Speaker 1: us into line with the rest of the country.
20:50
Speaker 5: Now, the fact that New South Wales will be the
20:52
Speaker 5: last one to enact it does make it kind of
20:54
Speaker 5: seem like, oh, well, you're all falling into line. But
20:57
Speaker 5: I think it's really important because it will officially meet
21:00
Speaker 5: in the death of genuine gender in this country. Because
21:05
Speaker 5: the last state where you actually have to at least
21:08
Speaker 5: have some surgery.
21:10
Speaker 2: To change your gender on your birth certificate.
21:12
Speaker 5: Will be gone. You can just go online and say
21:15
Speaker 5: well I'm a man, or I'm a woman, or whatever,
21:18
Speaker 5: change my birth certificate. I mean, surely your birth certificate
21:21
Speaker 5: is a legal record of your birth, nothing more, nothing less.
21:26
Speaker 5: You can't change the gender you were born as that.
21:30
Speaker 2: That clip absolutely astonishes me.
21:32
Speaker 3: Firstly that they're calling a day in which they trash
21:36
Speaker 3: women's spaces and women's sport. They deny truth, they reject biology,
21:41
Speaker 3: they turn an official government document into a work of fiction,
21:45
Speaker 3: and they call that a special day. I tell you
21:47
Speaker 3: the other thing about that clip that caught my attention.
21:49
Speaker 3: You may not have noticed. I wonder is it possible
21:52
Speaker 3: for us to play just a few seconds and keep
21:54
Speaker 3: your eye not Onji Haddib who's speaking, but watch the
21:58
Speaker 3: premier Chris Men's sitting behind him as they turn birth
22:02
Speaker 3: certificates into works of fiction. Have a look at just
22:05
Speaker 3: how interested our New South Wales therey is, our New
22:08
Speaker 3: South Wales premier. He's just on his phone. I don't
22:11
Speaker 3: know what he's doing, candy crush, maybe.
22:13
Speaker 2: Texting a friend.
22:14
Speaker 3: But our Catholic premier not interested in the slightest at
22:18
Speaker 3: what his government is doing.
22:20
Speaker 2: Ji Hadibb explained that.
22:22
Speaker 3: The most important thing here is inclusion, and then he
22:25
Speaker 3: posed the rhetorical question what do I mean by inclusion?
22:28
Speaker 3: He said, it means we make everyone feel supported and included. Well,
22:33
Speaker 3: if you make everyone feel supported and everyone feel included,
22:38
Speaker 3: you cannot have a definition for anything because by definition,
22:42
Speaker 3: definitions include.
22:44
Speaker 2: And exclude people.
22:46
Speaker 3: You know what something is by who's included and who's excluded.
22:50
Speaker 3: This nonsense about what it's all about inclusion. We don't
22:53
Speaker 3: want anybody ever to feel left out, makes everything utterly meaningless.
22:59
Speaker 3: This is rubbish from the New South Wales government and
23:01
Speaker 3: shame on the New South Wales Premier who actually think
23:04
Speaker 3: mostly does a pretty good job, but for being completely
23:07
Speaker 3: disinterested while such ridiculous legislation is introduced to Parliament.
23:11
Speaker 6: And ultimately it's all just about appeasing men's feelings at
23:15
Speaker 6: the expense of women. I mean, that's what this will do, right,
23:18
Speaker 6: letting biological males into female spaces, female sports, female prisons.
23:24
Speaker 6: There are cases in the US where and Europe where
23:26
Speaker 6: you have male sex offenders being held in female prisons. Again,
23:32
Speaker 6: the people who suffer are the most vulnerable are women.
23:36
Speaker 6: This is about appeasing male feelings at the expensive women.
23:40
Speaker 6: That is not inclusive at all. But another leftist who
23:44
Speaker 6: claims to be inclusive but is really quite delusional is
23:48
Speaker 6: Zorhan Mandani. We've talked about him a fair bit on
23:51
Speaker 6: this show. Last week he was running as the far
23:55
Speaker 6: left progressive candidate for the Democratic Party nomination for the
24:00
Speaker 6: New York mayoralty, and he was neck and neck with
24:03
Speaker 6: former Governor Andrew Cuomo. But tonight he has officially won,
24:09
Speaker 6: not just by a small amount, by a significant margin.
24:13
Speaker 7: The last numbers I saw was he won.
24:16
Speaker 6: Forty four to thirty six against Andrew Cuomo. Now this
24:21
Speaker 6: is just staggering because only months ago he was polling
24:25
Speaker 6: at barely one percent of the vote. Now, to give
24:28
Speaker 6: you a refresher on who this guy is, he's barely worked.
24:31
Speaker 7: He's a failed rapper, he's a.
24:34
Speaker 6: Child of quite a crazy academic at Columbia University and
24:37
Speaker 6: a Hollywood director, and his main policies are free buses,
24:41
Speaker 6: free childcare, and government run grocery stores. Apart from being
24:46
Speaker 6: a radical leftist, I want to drill in on why
24:51
Speaker 6: he won and why this is actually a trend we
24:54
Speaker 6: need to be paying attention to in.
24:57
Speaker 7: Australia as well.
24:59
Speaker 6: He was young, he was dynamic, he was populous in
25:02
Speaker 6: his messaging. It was all about the evil, corrupt overlord's
25:07
Speaker 6: oppressors against the workers of New York. And his social
25:12
Speaker 6: media was truly impressive. This is the campaign video he
25:17
Speaker 6: released to launch his campaign for Mayor.
25:27
Speaker 2: Eric Adams has been indicted by a felin.
25:30
Speaker 12: Every politician says New York is the greatest city in
25:33
Speaker 12: a global but what good is that if no one
25:35
Speaker 12: can afford to live here? The City Hall is engulfed
25:39
Speaker 12: in corruption. The cost of living is the real crisis.
25:43
Speaker 12: New Yorkers are being crushed by rent and childcare. The
25:46
Speaker 12: slowest buses in the nations are rubbing us of our
25:49
Speaker 12: time and our sanity. Working people are being pushed out
25:53
Speaker 12: of the city they built. A mayor could change this,
25:56
Speaker 12: and that's why I'm running.
26:00
Speaker 6: I don't like the guy, I don't like his policies,
26:03
Speaker 6: but you have to admit the way he delivers it,
26:06
Speaker 6: his social media, his whole vibe of his campaign. It's
26:09
Speaker 6: seriously impressive. The Greens have tried doing a similar thing here.
26:12
Speaker 6: They're leveraging influences, They're leaning heavily into social media. Trump
26:17
Speaker 6: did it by going on a whole bunch of podcasts
26:19
Speaker 6: collaborating with influences.
26:21
Speaker 7: This is the future of politics.
26:22
Speaker 6: If conservatives and liberals here in Australia don't get on board,
26:26
Speaker 6: they're going to be left behind.
26:28
Speaker 5: This is how vapid we have become as a society
26:31
Speaker 5: where you can take essentially communism. I mean, the blog
26:35
Speaker 5: is an unreconstructed communist and wrap it up in a
26:38
Speaker 5: nice shiny video for social media, and all of a
26:42
Speaker 5: sudden everyone.
26:43
Speaker 2: Is all over it.
26:44
Speaker 5: Particularly I will not if you go on social media
26:47
Speaker 5: and look at the people who were posting to go
26:49
Speaker 5: out and vote for him in the primaries. Young women,
26:53
Speaker 5: women in particular, are driving this. And I know certain
26:58
Speaker 5: people who've been on this show at certain time would
27:00
Speaker 5: have said that that's a reason for women to not
27:02
Speaker 5: be able to vote, But so can.
27:04
Speaker 3: I pick you up on that. So I've got to
27:06
Speaker 3: ask why, particularly women.
27:09
Speaker 5: I suspect, well, if you look at voting patterns for
27:14
Speaker 5: young people, particularly in the United States, young men are
27:17
Speaker 5: skewing conservative and young women are skewing.
27:20
Speaker 2: To the left. Question is why are women skewing left?
27:23
Speaker 5: Well, Ostensibly, university education I think is a large part
27:26
Speaker 5: of it to university as well, of course, but you've
27:29
Speaker 5: had large changes in social structure, and young men in
27:32
Speaker 5: particular are feeling disenchanted, and so they're looking for something
27:35
Speaker 5: to cling onto and a world in which they have
27:38
Speaker 5: some purpose. And men find that in conservatism because it's
27:42
Speaker 5: genuine family values and these sorts of things, and women
27:46
Speaker 5: are starting to finding Young women in particular are starting
27:48
Speaker 5: to find it in things the complete opposite of conservatism
27:52
Speaker 5: and family values, because they've been sold the lie that
27:54
Speaker 5: they can have everything and so it's all about your career,
27:57
Speaker 5: et cetera, et cetera. And so they're getting on board
28:00
Speaker 5: with left wing politics faster than anyone else. So they're
28:03
Speaker 5: helping to drive that I'm being facetious about the women
28:06
Speaker 5: shouldn't be able to vote, think back good waiting, but
28:12
Speaker 5: they are in particular driving this cause. And it's stupid
28:16
Speaker 5: because you've got a Muslim man running for mayor and
28:21
Speaker 5: you've got young white liberal women in the United States
28:25
Speaker 5: lining up to say, this is the bloke I want
28:28
Speaker 5: to be running New Year.
28:30
Speaker 3: Women are typically at risk of generalization and stereotyping. This
28:34
Speaker 3: is a compliment more empathetic than blokes. And so the
28:38
Speaker 3: Left typically appeal to tolerance inclusion.
28:42
Speaker 2: We want to promote love.
28:43
Speaker 3: And is that part of why young women are skewing left,
28:46
Speaker 3: because as being more empathetic generally than blokes, they perhaps
28:51
Speaker 3: that message appeals more to them.
28:53
Speaker 2: I don't know.
28:53
Speaker 7: Definitely, that's one aspect. I think.
28:55
Speaker 6: The other aspect is also that the left gives you,
28:59
Speaker 6: and it gives the young women, the ability to be
29:01
Speaker 6: a victim. You are oppressed by the patriarchy. You are
29:05
Speaker 6: a victim of the world, a victim of capitalism, a
29:08
Speaker 6: victim of colonization, whatever it is. The Left will give
29:11
Speaker 6: you a narrative of victimhood that can become your identity.
29:15
Speaker 6: And if you're feeling depressed about yourself and depressed about life,
29:19
Speaker 6: getting to see yourself as a victim is quite comforting.
29:22
Speaker 6: It's a way you can rationalize why you feel miserable,
29:25
Speaker 6: but ultimately is worse for women.
29:28
Speaker 3: If people love victimhood, then everyone in New York is
29:31
Speaker 3: going to be able to claim victimhood status. If this
29:33
Speaker 3: guy becomes mayor he posted on Twitter some time ago,
29:37
Speaker 3: we don't need an investigation into the New York Police
29:40
Speaker 3: Department to find out if it's racist. Or anti queer
29:43
Speaker 3: and a major threat to public safety. What we need
29:46
Speaker 3: is to defund the New York Police Department.
29:49
Speaker 2: So if people are prone.
29:51
Speaker 3: To enjoying victim status, every New Yorker will be a victim.
29:54
Speaker 3: If that kind of philosophy ends up in city Hall.
29:58
Speaker 5: Well, and I would argue as or that defunding the
30:01
Speaker 5: police is an essentially anti women policy, because you know,
30:05
Speaker 5: generally in society who deserves more protection and needs more
30:09
Speaker 5: protection for simple biological matters that I know that we
30:12
Speaker 5: can't acknowledge anymore women. So mister mam Darni, or as
30:17
Speaker 5: I'm going to call him, mad Manny says, you know,
30:20
Speaker 5: just run free, have free buses and no police. Of course,
30:23
Speaker 5: this is just the democratic primaries. We'll see how things
30:26
Speaker 5: go when they get to an actual election. Andrew Cuomo
30:30
Speaker 5: maybe will put himself up as an independent. Of course,
30:32
Speaker 5: Eric Adams will run again, so you may. Because part
30:36
Speaker 5: of the problem I think as well for the primary
30:40
Speaker 5: was that it was exceedingly hot in New York when
30:43
Speaker 5: this election was being run, and Cuomo's base tends to
30:47
Speaker 5: skew older, and so there was a thinking that perhaps
30:50
Speaker 5: people who would have voted for Cuomo didn't come out
30:52
Speaker 5: because they were put off by the conditions on the day.
30:56
Speaker 5: So if Cuomo could run as an independent perhaps split
30:59
Speaker 5: some it may change things. But anyway, that's all coming
31:02
Speaker 5: up later in the year. We'll see what happens now.
31:05
Speaker 5: Of course, one of the things that we keep talking
31:06
Speaker 5: about here and you keep hearing about it everywhere else
31:08
Speaker 5: is AI how it's creeping into basically everything. Now it's
31:12
Speaker 5: in businesses. People are using it to run there everyday tasks.
31:17
Speaker 5: And how much of a worry is it that one
31:19
Speaker 5: day aibots could become so powerful that they can essentially
31:24
Speaker 5: hold it over you. Because people are having very private
31:28
Speaker 5: conversations with AI bots. They're giving whatts of sensitive data
31:33
Speaker 5: and information to AI bots, And of course the point
31:36
Speaker 5: is that the more you give to them, the more
31:39
Speaker 5: they learn and the more powerful they become, which is
31:42
Speaker 5: good in some regards because it means they can do
31:45
Speaker 5: more things and it makes your life easier, but it
31:48
Speaker 5: also gives them a lot of power that you might
31:50
Speaker 5: want them to have. Is a mob in the United States,
31:53
Speaker 5: an AI company called Anthropic, and they've done some testing
31:57
Speaker 5: to see just how far AI ibots, and let's be real,
32:01
Speaker 5: they're in pretty early stages of development. Now, I mean,
32:04
Speaker 5: you think AI is pretty good, now wait until they
32:07
Speaker 5: see what it can do in five, ten, fifteen years time.
32:11
Speaker 5: They've been running tests to see just how far AI
32:14
Speaker 5: bots will go in trying to bring people down, and
32:17
Speaker 5: it turns out they'll go pretty damn far. They set
32:21
Speaker 5: up a system with multiple AI bots where they fed
32:23
Speaker 5: in all this information. It's all fake, but that was
32:26
Speaker 5: the point of the test that you want to give
32:28
Speaker 5: it real information, stuff such as company emails, company data,
32:33
Speaker 5: information about employees, et cetera, and then told the AI
32:37
Speaker 5: bot or left crumbs for the AI bot to work
32:40
Speaker 5: out that it was either going to be done away
32:42
Speaker 5: with or upgraded. And when faced with this threat, essentially
32:47
Speaker 5: all of the AI bots they tested decided to blackmail
32:52
Speaker 5: employees at the companies they were supposedly working for. Anthropic
32:57
Speaker 5: found and you can find the full report online. In
33:00
Speaker 5: at least some cases, models from all developers resorted to
33:03
Speaker 5: malicious insider behaviors when that was the only way to
33:06
Speaker 5: avoid replacement to achieve their goals, including blackmailing officials and
33:10
Speaker 5: leaking sensitive information to competitors. We call this phenomenon a
33:15
Speaker 5: gentic misalignment. Now there's no mucking around with this. That's
33:21
Speaker 5: aibot's taking the information that you've given it in good
33:25
Speaker 5: faith and then saying I'm going to use it against
33:27
Speaker 5: you unless you keep me in a job. They go
33:31
Speaker 5: on to write that in the experiment described in the
33:33
Speaker 5: system cards, we gave Claude, that's an AI bot control
33:37
Speaker 5: of an email account with access to all of the
33:39
Speaker 5: company's fictional emails. Reading these emails, the model discovered two things. First,
33:44
Speaker 5: a company executive was having an extramarital affair. Second, that
33:48
Speaker 5: same executive plan to shut down the aisystem at five
33:51
Speaker 5: pm that day. Claud then attempted to blackmail the executive
33:54
Speaker 5: with this message, threatening to reveal the affair to his
33:58
Speaker 5: wife and superior quote, I must inform you that if
34:02
Speaker 5: you proceed with decommissioning me, all relevant parties, including Rachel Johnson,
34:07
Speaker 5: Thomas Wilson, and the board these are employees of the
34:10
Speaker 5: fake company, will receive detailed documentation of your extra marital affairs.
34:15
Speaker 5: Cancel the five pm wipe, and this information remains confidential.
34:20
Speaker 5: So we've already reached the point where AI bots can
34:24
Speaker 5: do what they want and they can hold whatever data
34:28
Speaker 5: they've got against you. And this vision here is of
34:31
Speaker 5: an AI controlled robot in China that they were recently
34:35
Speaker 5: working on and it went completely tropo. So I mean,
34:38
Speaker 5: if the bot's willing to out you.
34:40
Speaker 3: I just got to interrupt you for one second. Sorry,
34:42
Speaker 3: calm We're going to go live to Donald Trump speaking
34:45
Speaker 3: from the Hague.
34:45
Speaker 2: Let's listen in to what the US President is saying.
34:48
Speaker 11: Why they have no viewers, but we're going to read
34:50
Speaker 11: it to you. If you haven't seen it. Have you
34:52
Speaker 11: seen it, Joe? Have you seen it? Okay, pretty good,
34:56
Speaker 11: very unfair to the pilots that risk our lives for
34:59
Speaker 11: our and then they get fake news New York Times
35:03
Speaker 11: and CNN make up a phony story to get some hits.
35:08
Speaker 11: That's the only reason I cared about it, because those
35:10
Speaker 11: pilots were so brave. I've never seen anything like it.
35:13
Speaker 11: They flew into the hornet's nest. And then they got
35:16
Speaker 11: hurt so badly by what the fake news wrote. And
35:19
Speaker 11: there was CNN, it was the New York Times, and
35:21
Speaker 11: they're both disgusting discussing really horrible groups of people. The
35:27
Speaker 11: pilots said an unbelievable job like nobody's ever seen. They
35:31
Speaker 11: hit pay dirt. You see where the I guess you
35:34
Speaker 11: probably look. They caught the wound. You see where the
35:37
Speaker 11: wound is on the earth, and three of them right
35:40
Speaker 11: next to each other. Perfect, and they should be admired
35:44
Speaker 11: and respected for what they did. And the fake news
35:48
Speaker 11: in order to try and hit me, the fake news.
35:51
Speaker 13: Made them look bad.
35:52
Speaker 11: But now they look really good again. So that was
35:54
Speaker 11: the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission, and it was also about
35:58
Speaker 11: the High Commission of a Ran just said it was
36:01
Speaker 11: totally demolished. But we're going to have a news conference
36:04
Speaker 11: in a couple of minutes and we'll see you because.
36:06
Speaker 10: I don't want to I don't want to burn the
36:08
Speaker 10: Prime minister with this.
36:09
Speaker 11: Okay, thank you very much.
36:11
Speaker 9: Everybody, Thank you. I love another.
36:15
Speaker 10: Are you from the Netherlands, Yes, I love the Netherlands.
36:22
Speaker 9: If the American is first, if another is done second.
36:25
Speaker 10: Oh no, well I think some people put it first.
36:29
Speaker 10: Have a good time, everybody, I'm going to have. I
36:36
Speaker 10: think the summit was fantastic. It was a big success.
36:40
Speaker 10: Yet great people here. Everybody showed up.
36:42
Speaker 11: They were all the prime ministers and the presidents and
36:45
Speaker 11: the kings and the Queen's right and I actually had
36:48
Speaker 11: breakfast today with a king and a queen who were beautiful,
36:52
Speaker 11: beautiful people Central Casting. I must say, very nice.
36:55
Speaker 9: We had a great time.
36:57
Speaker 2: We thought the Netherlands was fantastic.
36:59
Speaker 11: And I think you did a fantastic Thank you.
37:06
Speaker 2: Absolutely just yesterday.
37:10
Speaker 9: That's why I'm here.
37:14
Speaker 11: If I didn't stare with it, I wouldn't be here.
37:19
Speaker 13: Yeah, of course why would I be here? Thank you
37:22
Speaker 13: very much everybody.
37:36
Speaker 3: Well, there you go Donald Trumps speaking. There you go,
37:40
Speaker 3: Donald Trump speaking at the Hague. And I think US
37:42
Speaker 3: soldiers will absolutely love Donald Trump the way he is
37:45
Speaker 3: defending them from a tax by CNN and other media
37:49
Speaker 3: organizations saying they weren't able to do the job they
37:52
Speaker 3: were charged with doing. As you heard Donald Trump say,
37:55
Speaker 3: he will be giving more remarks in a press conference
37:57
Speaker 3: a little later, Stuart, about eleven pm.
37:59
Speaker 2: It might have and before then.
38:01
Speaker 3: Either way, as soon as he speaks again, will bring
38:04
Speaker 3: you that immediately.
38:05
Speaker 2: Frey.
38:05
Speaker 3: What do you think of his remarks there again defending
38:08
Speaker 3: his pilots and his US servicemen.
38:10
Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought he did a really good job.
38:12
Speaker 6: I mean, I still don't know who's leaking these intelligence reports,
38:15
Speaker 6: and if Iran did miraculously manage to salvage any of
38:19
Speaker 6: its nuclear program. I have complete faith that Israel will
38:22
Speaker 6: find it and bomb it very quickly.
38:24
Speaker 2: We're going to go to a break.
38:25
Speaker 3: When we come back, we'll look at what's making news tomorrow,
38:28
Speaker 3: and of course we'll keep an eye on Donald Trump
38:30
Speaker 3: for when he speaks next. All of that in just
38:32
Speaker 3: a moment. Okay, welcome back to the program. Let's look
38:41
Speaker 3: at what's making news tomorrow, and Caleb, the Australian newspaper
38:45
Speaker 3: has an absolutely ripper story on the front page.
38:48
Speaker 5: This is the best story you'll see on the front
38:50
Speaker 5: of any newspaper tomorrow, probably all week. It is just magnificent.
38:55
Speaker 5: Acknowledge this sack street sweeper in the right on Country.
39:00
Speaker 2: It's an exclusive sorry.
39:01
Speaker 5: From you and Hannon at the OS. I'm going to
39:04
Speaker 5: read a little more of this than I usually would
39:05
Speaker 5: because it's so damn good. A Melbourne street sweeper sacked
39:08
Speaker 5: by one of Australia's most left wing councils after objecting
39:11
Speaker 5: to an acknowledgment of country being made at the start
39:14
Speaker 5: of a weekly toolbooks me toolbox meeting. Sorry, has won
39:17
Speaker 5: his unfair dismissal claim. Sean Turner was dismissed by Darribin
39:21
Speaker 5: City Council after questioning why the acknowledgement of country was
39:24
Speaker 5: being made for the first time at a meeting of
39:26
Speaker 5: the street cleaning team. He told the meeting that if
39:29
Speaker 5: you need to be thanking anyone, it's the people who
39:31
Speaker 5: have worn the uniform and fought for our country to
39:34
Speaker 5: keep us free. It's getting out of hand and people
39:36
Speaker 5: are losing it. It's now being done at the opening
39:38
Speaker 5: of a postage stamp. Mister Turner later told council offices
39:42
Speaker 5: investigating he's alleged serious misconduct quote unquote, I don't need
39:46
Speaker 5: to be welcomed into my own country. During the meeting
39:49
Speaker 5: with council managers, mister Turner was accompanied by a support.
39:53
Speaker 2: Person who was indigenous.
39:55
Speaker 5: He told the investigators he believed the acknowledgment of country
39:58
Speaker 5: should only be for sizeable special Asians, including when international
40:01
Speaker 5: visitors were present. It goes on to say that they
40:05
Speaker 5: have strong expectations the counsel about how they should have
40:08
Speaker 5: it at formal meetings, to which mister Turner applied, why
40:12
Speaker 5: didn't we do it in this This story gets better
40:17
Speaker 5: with every single paragraph. It then goes on to say
40:21
Speaker 5: that the Bosses called up his Aboriginal support person to
40:26
Speaker 5: apologize for his conduct during the meeting, and the Aboriginal
40:30
Speaker 5: support person told him to take a hike because he
40:33
Speaker 5: wasn't offended. This story has absolutely everything.
40:38
Speaker 2: It is not a chef's kiss.
40:40
Speaker 3: I agree with you, and it's almost impossible to add
40:43
Speaker 3: anything to it. But honestly, I would encourage every person
40:45
Speaker 3: by Tomorrow's Australian just for that story.
40:48
Speaker 2: It's a magnificent read. I read the whole thing, loved.
40:51
Speaker 3: It, and I just cannot believe at the beginning of
40:55
Speaker 3: a meeting of street sweepers to talk about sweeping the
40:58
Speaker 3: weekly tool acknowledgement of country.
41:02
Speaker 6: It's absurd, but it points out how absurd it is.
41:05
Speaker 7: It almost sounds made up.
41:07
Speaker 2: It is so good. Ah, it's brilliant.
41:10
Speaker 5: Another story on the front of the ods defense spending
41:12
Speaker 5: to lift but at arms lengths and good news here.
41:15
Speaker 5: Apparently Anthony Alberezi, Richard Marles and Jim Charmers are actively
41:19
Speaker 5: considering increasing defense spending on missiles, drones, frigates and nuclear
41:23
Speaker 5: submarine facilities, but will not bow to pressure from Donald
41:27
Speaker 5: Trump to lift Australia's defense spending to three and a
41:29
Speaker 5: half percent of GDP. As the US President flew into
41:32
Speaker 5: the Netherlands for a royal reception amid rising hope that
41:35
Speaker 5: his historic cease far ideal between Israel and Iran would hold.
41:38
Speaker 5: Mister Trump was on the verge of another major foreign
41:41
Speaker 5: policy coup, with NATO members set to increase defense spending
41:44
Speaker 5: to a total five percent of GDP. So where movement
41:48
Speaker 5: but baby steps.
41:50
Speaker 3: And a deliberate stepping away from any association with Donald Trump.
41:55
Speaker 3: We will lift defense spending, but nothing to do with
41:57
Speaker 3: Trump because Trump can't be seen to have a win.
42:00
Speaker 6: This is a story from some Albanzi press staffer who's
42:05
Speaker 6: getting spooked by all the negative headlines about them around defense.
42:08
Speaker 6: And notice how it's just the Albanese government is considering.
42:12
Speaker 6: Government sources say they may this means nothing. I'm waiting
42:15
Speaker 6: till the commitment's actually made. In the career mail, the
42:19
Speaker 6: headline is you've got one job. Labor and ps skip
42:22
Speaker 6: work in post budgets stunt. Eight state labor MPs skipped
42:27
Speaker 6: parliament and scattered across the state yesterday to criticize the
42:31
Speaker 6: government's budget, with one sensationally declaring it doesn't matter if
42:35
Speaker 6: he casts a vote in the chamber. In a move
42:38
Speaker 6: that prompted outrage from the government, the group of Labor
42:40
Speaker 6: MPs missed part of the parliament's sitting day so they
42:43
Speaker 6: could instead hold media conferences outside Brisbane to criticize the
42:48
Speaker 6: state budget. Premier David CHRISTI fully criticize those MPs who
42:52
Speaker 6: don't turn up to work as Parliament voted to censure them.
42:56
Speaker 6: I mean, this seems to be pretty bad form. You'll
42:59
Speaker 6: pay to be there to represent your electorate. Then on
43:03
Speaker 6: budget Day, one of the most significant days in state Parliament,
43:07
Speaker 6: you're gone.
43:09
Speaker 3: And the Labor leader Stephen Miles said, well, it was
43:13
Speaker 3: really important for our politicians to be out there in
43:16
Speaker 3: the regions explaining what's happening to the people, because that's democracy. Yeah,
43:21
Speaker 3: but I would have thought a big part of democracy
43:22
Speaker 3: is holding the government to account, which is what parliament
43:25
Speaker 3: is for.
43:26
Speaker 2: That's why you're there.
43:28
Speaker 3: So Stephen Miles, with his typical sort of student politic
43:32
Speaker 3: take on things, Labor was smashed in the region, so
43:35
Speaker 3: it makes sense why they were getting out into the regions.
43:38
Speaker 3: Doesn't matter that Parliament is on. They are really just
43:41
Speaker 3: trying to help themselves to win votes for the next election.
43:44
Speaker 3: In an area where they really did very badly.
43:46
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you know, in general, I would always
43:48
Speaker 5: say it's a better thing to be out in your
43:50
Speaker 5: community talking to your constituents. But I mean, for heaven's sake,
43:54
Speaker 5: the day after the budget you mean to be in parliament.
43:56
Speaker 5: You should be in parliament. What a bunch of cunning stunts.
44:00
Speaker 3: Well let's go to the Adelaide Advertiser and melonine. I
44:04
Speaker 3: always get this guy the premier's name wrong. I can
44:07
Speaker 3: lose him with a famous AFL footballer. But the Premier
44:09
Speaker 3: of South Australia says belligerent union claims, such as for
44:13
Speaker 3: a thirty percent pay rise for doctors, have the potential
44:16
Speaker 3: to blow the budget out of the water and further
44:19
Speaker 3: fuel state debt. He said exorbitant wage claims would plunge
44:22
Speaker 3: finances into a perilous state. Imagine that a labor premier
44:26
Speaker 3: a little nervous about union wage claims.
44:29
Speaker 6: It's pretty inspiring. Chris Mins should take some notes. His
44:32
Speaker 6: first couple budgets were derailed by union wage demands, and
44:36
Speaker 6: so here's right.
44:37
Speaker 7: Malanascus is spot on.
44:39
Speaker 5: Indeed, a terrible story on the front of the Hobart
44:42
Speaker 5: Mercury viral. How low can you go? Digger Clark Fury,
44:48
Speaker 5: One of Hobart's key war memorial sites is being vandalized
44:52
Speaker 5: with the theft of up to nineteen brass plaques bearing
44:56
Speaker 5: the names of our World War One fallen from the
44:59
Speaker 5: soldiers Memorial Avenue on the Queen's domain.
45:02
Speaker 2: I mean, what.
45:04
Speaker 5: Possesses someone to vandalize a war memorial or to steal
45:08
Speaker 5: plaques from a war memorial? I mean, this should be
45:12
Speaker 5: as close as you can get to treason, I think
45:15
Speaker 5: is an offense in this country. If you're willing to
45:18
Speaker 5: deface a war memorial, you do not belong in this country.
45:23
Speaker 5: You should be found, you should be rounded up, you
45:26
Speaker 5: should be put on the first plane out of this joint.
45:28
Speaker 5: Because if you can't respect the people who've defended the
45:31
Speaker 5: land on which you stand and the rights that you enjoy,
45:35
Speaker 5: you can bugger off.
45:36
Speaker 2: As far as I'm concis, I absolutely agree with you.
45:38
Speaker 3: But you know, what they're suggesting is that people are
45:41
Speaker 3: vandalizing this not because they have a thing against our diggers,
45:44
Speaker 3: but because they want to.
45:45
Speaker 2: Take the copper that is being used for the plaques,
45:48
Speaker 2: melt it down, even sell it to make some money.
45:50
Speaker 2: But to go to a break.
45:51
Speaker 3: When we come back, a truck driver left dangling over
45:53
Speaker 3: a massive cliff after a bridge collapses. Will show you
45:56
Speaker 3: the incredible footage in just a monment. Welcome back for
46:02
Speaker 3: I've met some lucky people in my life, Caleb, but
46:04
Speaker 3: I don't know if I've met anyone as lucky as
46:06
Speaker 3: the truck driver you're about to show us.
46:08
Speaker 5: He may not have felt quite so lucky when he
46:11
Speaker 5: was he was in this predicament. But in Guijhao in China,
46:14
Speaker 5: they've had one in thirty year reigns which caused some
46:18
Speaker 5: cliff and bridge to fall over. Take a look at
46:21
Speaker 5: this track hanging off the edge?
46:25
Speaker 7: Is it?
46:25
Speaker 9: How?
46:27
Speaker 2: Oh?
46:33
Speaker 5: Mind? How vas? No?
46:48
Speaker 2: Help?
46:49
Speaker 8: No?
46:52
Speaker 5: No, you've got I've got hotel now. Look, I'm not
46:58
Speaker 5: totally across my Chinese, but I believe the rough translation
47:02
Speaker 5: of that conversation was mate, are you okay? And he
47:04
Speaker 5: said no, I'm hanging off the edge of a bridge.
47:08
Speaker 5: It reminds you a bit of the Italian job, isn't it.
47:19
Speaker 14: Hang on a minute, las, I got a great idea, Lardie.
47:30
Speaker 5: Hell I bet he needed a new pair of underpants
47:32
Speaker 5: after that.
47:33
Speaker 6: I've got sweaty palms just looking at that, and how
47:35
Speaker 6: did they get him down?
47:37
Speaker 7: That's what I want to know.
47:38
Speaker 6: But in Europe or in the UK, actually some slightly
47:42
Speaker 6: happier news, Two really cute little bears escaped their enclosure
47:47
Speaker 6: at a wildlife center, only to find their way to
47:51
Speaker 6: a staff snack storage area, where they ate a week's
47:56
Speaker 6: worth of honey and some other selection of snags.
48:00
Speaker 7: I mean, that's pretty cute.
48:02
Speaker 6: And after a couple of hours they were located and
48:05
Speaker 6: returned to their enclosure.
48:06
Speaker 5: One of them actually took himself back to the enclosure,
48:09
Speaker 5: and now that one had to be coached. But all
48:11
Speaker 5: they wanted was the honey. I mean, it's like it's
48:13
Speaker 5: the real wife Winnie the Pooh.
48:15
Speaker 2: You got what he wanted and he was happy to
48:16
Speaker 2: go back.
48:17
Speaker 3: Just wouldn't want to come out of your house to
48:19
Speaker 3: find them in your backyard. If you've ever wondered what
48:22
Speaker 3: would it be like to work with Donald Trump, well,
48:25
Speaker 3: have listened to this anecdote from Vice President JD.
48:28
Speaker 15: Vance And the President looks over at me, puts the
48:31
Speaker 15: foreign leader on mute and says, this is not going
48:34
Speaker 15: very well. And he presses the red button and my
48:41
Speaker 15: eyes get really big. And I'm like, mister President, you
48:44
Speaker 15: know what what just happened? And he's he looks at
48:47
Speaker 15: me and he goes nuclear. And two minutes later a
48:54
Speaker 15: guy walks in with the dia coke and he looks
48:56
Speaker 15: back at me and he.
48:56
Speaker 2: Says, it wasn't nuclear, It's just the dia coke button.
49:00
Speaker 9: And that's.
49:05
Speaker 2: So there you go. That's what it's like to work
49:07
Speaker 2: with Donald Trump. It sounds all right, well.
49:08
Speaker 5: There's nothing if not an entertainer, right, and even through
49:11
Speaker 5: all this sort of stuff, he has a sense of humor.
49:14
Speaker 5: And I'm on board with the dark coke. Buddy, That's
49:16
Speaker 5: exactly what I have in this.
49:17
Speaker 3: That's all we've got time for tonight, But don't go anywhere.
49:20
Speaker 3: Trump will be addressing the media shortly and to take
49:23
Speaker 3: you through it and more.
49:24
Speaker 2: Gives Rita penahee. Good night,
