Speaker 1: On scorns Australia. This is the Wider Panalty Show.
0:09
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Riata Panekey Show. Coming
0:11
Speaker 2: up tonight. Fresh polling shows only one in three Victorians
0:15
Speaker 2: support the state based treaty. The panel will be here
0:18
Speaker 2: to discuss that and much more. Brittany Higgins drops her
0:22
Speaker 2: defamation appeal against former Liberal Minister Linda Reynolds. Chris Merritt
0:27
Speaker 2: will be here to explain the latest.
0:29
Speaker 3: C J.
0:29
Speaker 2: Pearson will have all the US news, including what Americans
0:33
Speaker 2: made of our politicians and our media pack and later
0:37
Speaker 2: in the hour, the Great propsy in Pimer will explain
0:41
Speaker 2: what the new rare minerals deal means for Australia and
0:45
Speaker 2: Left He's losing It has an extra dose of Hollywood lunacy,
0:50
Speaker 2: including Robert de.
0:51
Speaker 4: Niro, Gables of the Cabinet, Stephen Miller. He's a Nazi, yes,
1:00
Speaker 4: and he's Jewish.
1:02
Speaker 2: But first to grow in questions over the suitability of
1:05
Speaker 2: Kevin Rudd as Australia's ambassador to the US after he
1:09
Speaker 2: was humiliated on the world stage yesterday by President Donald Trump.
1:14
Speaker 2: Even the Prime Minister was laughing at him.
1:17
Speaker 1: Whereas you said.
1:22
Speaker 5: Bad before it took this position to president like you.
1:33
Speaker 2: But the Albertiezi government says that Trump's slap down of
1:37
Speaker 2: Kevin Right was just him having a bit of fun
1:39
Speaker 2: and Right is still perfectly suitable for the role he is.
1:43
Speaker 2: What Foreign Minister Penny Wong had to say.
1:46
Speaker 6: He basically told Kevin Rudd he'll probably never like him.
1:50
Speaker 7: Does that make his position.
1:52
Speaker 8: Kevin Rudd's as ambassador to the US a bit untenable?
1:54
Speaker 2: Look, I think anyone looking at that knows that was
1:56
Speaker 2: tongue in cheek. We heard the laughter.
1:59
Speaker 8: We know that we had a very successful meeting, and
2:02
Speaker 8: full credit to Kevin.
2:05
Speaker 2: They were laughing at Kevin, they weren't laughing with him.
2:09
Speaker 2: Penny and Anthony Albernezi has followed up with this earlier today,
2:14
Speaker 2: again pretending like all is okay, it's perfectly normal to
2:18
Speaker 2: have an ambassador who has made horrendous comments about the
2:21
Speaker 2: sitting US president. Nothing to see here.
2:25
Speaker 9: Well, thanks so much, Kevin, and thank you for what
2:28
Speaker 9: you do and outstanding. If there's a harder worker ambassador
2:33
Speaker 9: on the hill, then please let me know and get
2:36
Speaker 9: them care because Kevin works his guts out and he
2:41
Speaker 9: seems to know everyone in the US.
2:45
Speaker 2: System joining me now to discuss. There's Sky News contributors
2:50
Speaker 2: Louise Roberts, and we've got a Dony Media founder Lisa Goddard. Louise,
2:55
Speaker 2: I'll start with you. Is the PM right, is Kevin Rudd?
2:59
Speaker 2: Say houses He's working his guts out for Australia in
3:03
Speaker 2: his current role, and isn't good for Australia to have
3:07
Speaker 2: someone in there who the Trump administration obviously has some
3:11
Speaker 2: issues with.
3:12
Speaker 6: Yeah, so, hi reader, So look, Kevin Rudd is Donald
3:15
Speaker 6: Trump's punchline.
3:16
Speaker 2: That much is evidence.
3:17
Speaker 6: We've seen that, the whole world has seen that this week.
3:20
Speaker 6: And is he safe in his job? Well, yes, because
3:23
Speaker 6: the PM might sack him because he will lose fates,
3:25
Speaker 6: he'll look like he's made the wrong decision in appointing
3:28
Speaker 6: him in the first place. But that doesn't mean that
3:31
Speaker 6: Kevin Rudd is effective. I mean Petty Wong was saying
3:34
Speaker 6: that he was working very hard behind the scenes to
3:36
Speaker 6: make this meeting happen, and of course himself has endorsed
3:40
Speaker 6: him one hundred percent overnight. But we have no proof
3:43
Speaker 6: of any of this actually happening behind the scenes at all,
3:46
Speaker 6: And what we have is a complacent diplomatic situation here,
3:50
Speaker 6: and what we need is an envoy who is respected
3:53
Speaker 6: on both sides of US politics, not someone who's a
3:56
Speaker 6: punchline in a joke. And there must be you know,
4:00
Speaker 6: many other candidates would be more suitable for this role.
4:03
Speaker 6: And we spoke about this in July, didn't we. And
4:05
Speaker 6: I wrote a column saying that if you know Kevin
4:08
Speaker 6: Rubb was serious about building and maintaining a strong relationship
4:11
Speaker 6: with the US, he should resign his position. And I
4:14
Speaker 6: haven't changed my mind from that because clearly he's not
4:17
Speaker 6: going to be fired, is he.
4:20
Speaker 2: Well, Lisa, Kevin Rud's always for Kevin Rudd. I think
4:24
Speaker 2: that much is pretty clear to me anyway what he
4:28
Speaker 2: has said. There's been plenty of people who have said
4:32
Speaker 2: unkind things about Donald Trump, unwise things about Donald Trump,
4:36
Speaker 2: but Kevin took it one step further. And I do
4:39
Speaker 2: wonder whether the Prime Minister and his government are worried
4:44
Speaker 2: about what Kevin Rudd will say if they do remove him,
4:47
Speaker 2: If is he going to go on another rampage posting
4:49
Speaker 2: all sorts of things on Twitter and on his other platforms.
4:56
Speaker 2: We'll read it.
4:57
Speaker 10: Firstly, I think we were all expecting to have the
4:59
Speaker 10: popcorn because we thought it would be Albanesi that we
5:02
Speaker 10: were sitting here and shaking our heads out and possibly
5:04
Speaker 10: laughing at But the tables were turned and it ended
5:06
Speaker 10: up being rudded. So that's where we were sitting eating
5:08
Speaker 10: our popcorn. But look, what it all proved is that
5:11
Speaker 10: you can't take Donald Trump as a village idiot, and
5:13
Speaker 10: I think that is.
5:14
Speaker 2: What Rada did.
5:15
Speaker 10: He was absolutely humiliated there. But then today we've seen
5:19
Speaker 10: that Albanezi come out and defend him. As you said,
5:22
Speaker 10: you played the clip from Penny Wong. What they're painting
5:24
Speaker 10: this as now in their damage control is that Kevin
5:27
Speaker 10: Rudd is somehow the hero. Kevin Rudd is the person
5:29
Speaker 10: who has made all of these announcements, it's all of
5:32
Speaker 10: his success. So my question is, by the time Albanese's
5:36
Speaker 10: feet land back in Australia, how do they then spin
5:40
Speaker 10: that so that he is the hero because they want
5:42
Speaker 10: him to be the person who had the great relationship
5:45
Speaker 10: with Trump, who made aucas happen, who made the critical
5:47
Speaker 10: minerals deal happen. But at the moment they're trying to
5:50
Speaker 10: protect Rudd and say he's a success story.
5:52
Speaker 2: So I think there's a lot of.
5:53
Speaker 10: Messaging and spinning to happen behind the scenes to try
5:56
Speaker 10: to repair this, and I think he's as safe as houses.
6:00
Speaker 2: Well, again, it's all about Kevin, instead of focusing on
6:04
Speaker 2: this deal like yek you're said, instead of focusing on
6:07
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister and the relationship is rebuilding with the
6:11
Speaker 2: Trump administration, We're all talking about Kevin, and surely that
6:16
Speaker 2: is not good for either the Albanesi government or for
6:18
Speaker 2: the country. So I'm surprised for the good of the
6:21
Speaker 2: for the good of the government, he isn't stepping down.
6:24
Speaker 2: Surely he knows his position. There is an issue. Now,
6:28
Speaker 2: let's talk about local issues here in Victoria. There's been
6:32
Speaker 2: some polling done by the Institute of Public Affairs and
6:36
Speaker 2: it shows only thirty seven percent of Victorians support the
6:40
Speaker 2: Allen Labor government's indigenous treaty, forty two percent say they
6:45
Speaker 2: oppose it, and we've got twenty one percent who are
6:47
Speaker 2: still undecided. Lisa, the fact that you've got twenty one
6:52
Speaker 2: percent undecided, I think is an indictment on the media,
6:56
Speaker 2: but even more so it's an indictment on the Liberal
6:59
Speaker 2: Party not leaned into this issue. It is an enormous
7:03
Speaker 2: issue the scope of this legislation is huge, and yet
7:07
Speaker 2: the Lips seemed to be running scared. Yeah, I was surprised.
7:12
Speaker 10: It was last month when this was first announced, and
7:15
Speaker 10: on that night I watched both the opposition leader and
7:17
Speaker 10: the Aberdeal affairs spokesperson for the Liberal Party here on sky,
7:21
Speaker 10: and neither of them, when their feet were held to
7:23
Speaker 10: the fire, could come out hard and say they were
7:25
Speaker 10: against this treaty. That they could come out and say
7:28
Speaker 10: this is what the Liberal Party will do. And I
7:30
Speaker 10: think that is what they're lacking across many different policy
7:33
Speaker 10: areas in Victoria. They're not offering up an opposition at all.
7:36
Speaker 10: And now nearly five six weeks later, they finally come
7:39
Speaker 10: out and said, well, it's not that we'll repeal the treaty,
7:42
Speaker 10: but we will then put in our own advisory body
7:45
Speaker 10: or advisory council or whatever nice word they've put around it.
7:48
Speaker 10: So they're not saying, no, we are not going to
7:51
Speaker 10: divide and be divisive in Victoria. They're saying they're still
7:54
Speaker 10: going to cowtail down and push ahead with some sort
7:57
Speaker 10: of indigenous group. When you've got what fifty eight percent,
8:01
Speaker 10: I think of fifty five percent of Victorians said no
8:04
Speaker 10: to the voice, So I'm not surprised by those figures.
8:09
Speaker 1: Yep.
8:09
Speaker 2: Victorians didn't vote for a state based voice or a
8:12
Speaker 2: state based treaty, Luise, but we've got one. It's going
8:16
Speaker 2: to be enormously costly, but even more importantly than that,
8:20
Speaker 2: it's going to be enormously divisive and the powers it has,
8:23
Speaker 2: the influence it will have. Again, Victorians didn't vote for that,
8:29
Speaker 2: and we need the Liberals to actually give people a choice.
8:32
Speaker 2: We need them to stand up and fight these consequential issues.
8:37
Speaker 6: Yes we do. You're absolutely right. And the figure being
8:39
Speaker 6: managed around is what's seventy million dollars and what is
8:42
Speaker 6: that for? To create another bureocracy, I mean, which we
8:45
Speaker 6: clearly don't need.
8:46
Speaker 2: And moreover, Cinderella.
8:48
Speaker 6: Needs to focus on one thing Victoria, Law and order.
8:51
Speaker 6: That's the only thing people are talking about, and the
8:53
Speaker 6: only thing residents are really concerned about. They don't want
8:56
Speaker 6: a treaty, they don't want any sort of legislation which
8:58
Speaker 6: is sort of dressed up as a Voice two point zero,
9:01
Speaker 6: and they don't feel that even Aboriginal Australians don't feel
9:04
Speaker 6: this is a good plan for Victoria. So while she's
9:08
Speaker 6: pushing ahead with it blindly is an absolute mystery to
9:10
Speaker 6: me when there are so many critical things she could
9:13
Speaker 6: be focused on.
9:14
Speaker 2: Now it's been revealed that the woman accused of the
9:17
Speaker 2: horror stabbing of sushi shep Wan Lee in Melbourne, CBD,
9:21
Speaker 2: is facing almost sixty criminal charges and including failing to
9:25
Speaker 2: comply with sex offender reporting obligations and breaching bail conditions.
9:31
Speaker 2: They accuse. Lauren Durrell front at court yesterday where her
9:35
Speaker 2: lawyers told the magistrate that her bid to be let
9:38
Speaker 2: out on bail yet again had been withdrawn. Oh Lisa,
9:43
Speaker 2: she acted bizarrely in court. Reporters said they were disturbed
9:48
Speaker 2: by her antics and I've got to say, I, for one,
9:51
Speaker 2: I'm thankful she didn't apply for bail again.
9:55
Speaker 10: But you're not surprised that they were going to apply
9:57
Speaker 10: for Bailey gain and then defense decided a, actually, you
10:00
Speaker 10: know what, we should probably withdraw that. So you would
10:03
Speaker 10: think that before they even got to that point, they
10:05
Speaker 10: would say, look, she is not somebody who is considered
10:07
Speaker 10: to be an acceptable risk to be out in society.
10:10
Speaker 10: That was where they failed the first time and the
10:11
Speaker 10: time before that, in the time before that. But it's
10:14
Speaker 10: no surprise to me that she sat there smirking and
10:16
Speaker 10: smiling and playing along to the camera.
10:19
Speaker 2: That was being beamed into the court. Because why on
10:21
Speaker 2: earth would she have any.
10:22
Speaker 10: Respect for the court room when the judiciary system has
10:26
Speaker 10: just been putting her back out there. She's on this
10:27
Speaker 10: revolving door that we see so often in Victoria and
10:30
Speaker 10: in other parts of this country.
10:31
Speaker 2: She has no.
10:32
Speaker 10: Respect for the court, she has no respect for the process.
10:34
Speaker 10: The only good news is that she is now in
10:36
Speaker 10: a cell in maximum security now.
10:39
Speaker 2: Victorian Premier is Into Alan lashed out at Queensland Premier
10:42
Speaker 2: David Chris of Fully after he said his state offers
10:46
Speaker 2: Victorian's a place where they won't get stabbed. He was
10:49
Speaker 2: obviously referring to that particular case. Just Into Alan was
10:52
Speaker 2: not impressed.
10:53
Speaker 9: But I'll tell you another thing I can offer if
10:54
Speaker 9: they live in Melbourne, they've got a place in stealing
10:56
Speaker 9: with youth crime.
10:57
Speaker 7: I won't get stabbed, Premier.
11:00
Speaker 2: That anyone gets his pre cline.
11:02
Speaker 10: Well, it was an incredibly poor taste attempt at a joke,
11:08
Speaker 10: and I know to the Queensland Premier has apologized as
11:11
Speaker 10: is appropriate.
11:13
Speaker 2: It's a little bit rich from Justin to Alan Lloy's
11:15
Speaker 2: and I don't know why David grizz A fully apologized.
11:18
Speaker 2: What he said wasn't so much a joke as something
11:22
Speaker 2: that actually had plenty of truth in it.
11:24
Speaker 6: Absolutely, and it's whatever Australians thinking and for her to
11:27
Speaker 6: sort of focus on the apology rather than the issue
11:30
Speaker 6: at hand law and order in Victoria. And I think
11:32
Speaker 6: that what's in poor taste is the fact that people
11:35
Speaker 6: in Victoria, particularly in Melbourne, are thinking is it Burk
11:37
Speaker 6: Street Moore or is it the bronx that don't feel
11:40
Speaker 6: safe to walk around the city at night and don't
11:42
Speaker 6: feel safe going to work in the morning as we've
11:44
Speaker 6: seen with that poor chef who got stabbed. So again,
11:47
Speaker 6: it's all the smoking Maror's distraction that de Cinta Bellen
11:50
Speaker 6: comes out with rather than addressing the issue at hand.
11:53
Speaker 6: And I agree he should not have apologized.
11:55
Speaker 2: For that, or no, he shouldn't have. Lisa is going
12:00
Speaker 2: to be a huge issue leading up to the state
12:03
Speaker 2: election here. Tough law and order policies, having bail conditions
12:10
Speaker 2: tightened even further. Youth crime is a significant issue here.
12:14
Speaker 2: It was a big issue in Queensland. But the Chris
12:17
Speaker 2: of Fully government actually brought in some fairly dramatic changes
12:21
Speaker 2: adult Crimes adult Time, and it's had quite an impact.
12:28
Speaker 10: Yeah, you're right. Instead of just sent to Alan trying
12:30
Speaker 10: to gain some political mileage out of this over Chrysophil,
12:32
Speaker 10: you know what you should do, should actually pick up
12:35
Speaker 10: the phone and say, hey, David, I actually need some
12:37
Speaker 10: help down here. Melbourne is helen a handbasket at the moment.
12:40
Speaker 10: You've managed to turn youth crime around. I just looked
12:42
Speaker 10: at the most recent figures and it's down serial repeat
12:46
Speaker 10: youth offenders. The numbers down seventeen point five percent, I
12:50
Speaker 10: think it is, and if you look at areas on
12:51
Speaker 10: the Sunshine Coast now around thirty six percent. So you're right, reader.
12:55
Speaker 10: You put in adult crime adult time. He showed that
12:57
Speaker 10: the government was serious about it. Thankfully, the courts seemed
13:01
Speaker 10: to be doing their job and following along and putting
13:04
Speaker 10: these people behind bars as opposed to on this book,
13:07
Speaker 10: which I was saying before this revolving door. So she
13:09
Speaker 10: should just be calling him and saying, you have started
13:12
Speaker 10: to fix this problem, how do we get it?
13:14
Speaker 8: How do we help.
13:15
Speaker 2: Absolutely and he's done it with about ten months. So
13:18
Speaker 2: he only put these policies in place. I think it
13:21
Speaker 2: was December last year, and already the crime stats they
13:24
Speaker 2: came out a couple of weeks ago show a dramatic
13:28
Speaker 2: reduction in the number of victims of youth crime. So
13:31
Speaker 2: there's around I think ten thousand Queenslanders less in this
13:35
Speaker 2: ten months compared to last year, who are not been victimized,
13:39
Speaker 2: who have not become a crime statistic Lloyd's Roberts Lisa
13:42
Speaker 2: got thank you so much for your time tonight. Now
13:45
Speaker 2: Brittany Higgins has dropped her defamation appeal against former Liberal
13:49
Speaker 2: minister Linda Reynolds. Higgins had filed the appeal in the
13:52
Speaker 2: West Australian Supreme Court a month ago on the last
13:55
Speaker 2: stay she was legally able to do so. She had
13:57
Speaker 2: attempted to ward off a three hundred forty thousand dollars
14:01
Speaker 2: damages award in addition to legal costs which could reach,
14:05
Speaker 2: perhaps even surpass two million dollars. Joining me now is
14:09
Speaker 2: Legal Affairs contribute out the Australian newspaper Chris Merit Chris.
14:14
Speaker 2: There have not been too many winners out of this
14:16
Speaker 2: political legal saga, but there have certainly been plenty of losers.
14:21
Speaker 11: So lovely, I must say, the fact that this chapter
14:27
Speaker 11: has drawn to a close will be great news for
14:29
Speaker 11: Linda Reynolds who suffered a measurable damage health damage, mental
14:34
Speaker 11: health damage, and career wise.
14:38
Speaker 3: The fact that this chapter is over as good. But
14:41
Speaker 3: this entire saga has still got a long way to run.
14:47
Speaker 3: We're still waiting, for example, for the verdict in the
14:51
Speaker 3: appeal by Bruce Lherman in his successful defamation case which
14:57
Speaker 3: determined that on the balance civil balance, that he did
15:00
Speaker 3: in fact rape Miss Higgins.
15:04
Speaker 7: So we're still waiting on that appeal at count and
15:08
Speaker 7: Fianna Brown, the woman who was really suffered a measurable damage. Look,
15:14
Speaker 7: she's lodged compensation proceedings with the Commonwealth, which look as
15:19
Speaker 7: though they're going to finish up in the Federal court.
15:23
Speaker 7: Just compare this.
15:24
Speaker 5: To the one day mediation which led to Britney Higgins
15:28
Speaker 5: getting a two point four million dollars in proceedings that
15:34
Speaker 5: were infected, according to Justice Leer the Federal Court by untruths.
15:39
Speaker 7: So that we've got those two things that have still
15:42
Speaker 7: got a long way to go. But at least Linda
15:44
Speaker 7: Reynolds is moving slowly towards getting some compensation. It'll depend
15:51
Speaker 7: on the outcome of bankruptcy proceedings. I think against Higgins
15:56
Speaker 7: and Charraz, her husband, but the will to turning.
16:01
Speaker 2: You're right about Linda Reynolds and staff for Fiona Brown.
16:04
Speaker 2: They've both been vindicated, but they have paid a heavy price.
16:09
Speaker 2: Linda Reynolds has spoken about spending millions on her legal defense,
16:14
Speaker 2: and she's probably going to be out of pocket because
16:18
Speaker 2: how much money is there left for Britney Higgins to
16:22
Speaker 2: pay Linda Reynolds. Is she even going to be able
16:25
Speaker 2: to cover the damages, let alone the legal costs.
16:29
Speaker 12: I suspect you you're right, But in terms of fairness,
16:34
Speaker 12: at least the people responsible for causing the damage to
16:39
Speaker 12: Linda Reynolds will be made to divest themselves of the
16:45
Speaker 12: gains that they that they made, that Higgins made anyway.
16:50
Speaker 7: As a result of the full sect or the defamatory
16:53
Speaker 7: and full accusations they made against her. So in terms
16:57
Speaker 7: of justice, we're getting close to ads outcome. In terms
17:02
Speaker 7: of financial recompense, you're right. I think Linda Reynolds will
17:07
Speaker 7: never be fully financially compensated, but she couldn't sit on
17:13
Speaker 7: her hands and allow the continuing campaign of defamation to
17:18
Speaker 7: proceed so she had to do something about it. It's
17:23
Speaker 7: incredible when you think about it. Chiraz and Higgins desisted
17:30
Speaker 7: from their social media campaign against Linda Renolds. There would
17:35
Speaker 7: have been no defamation proceedings. Higgins would have still had
17:39
Speaker 7: the two point four million dollars, there wouldn't be bankruptcy proceedings,
17:44
Speaker 7: and they'd probably still have a nice little house in
17:46
Speaker 7: the south of France, which.
17:50
Speaker 2: They sold at a loss about a year after purchasing it.
17:54
Speaker 2: Now to another issue, Senator just into Nampa gym for
17:57
Speaker 2: Price is being sued in the federal court over a
18:01
Speaker 2: media release or office distributed in July last year. It
18:04
Speaker 2: claimed Central Land Council Chief Executive Leslie Turner lost the
18:08
Speaker 2: support of his counselors and was no longer fit to
18:11
Speaker 2: serve as CEO.
18:12
Speaker 1: Center.
18:13
Speaker 2: Price is defending the case on the grounds of qualified privilege,
18:17
Speaker 2: arguing her media release was in the public interest, but
18:21
Speaker 2: Chris Leslie Turner says Senator Price's comments were untrue and
18:25
Speaker 2: harmed his reputation. How unusual is it to have a
18:28
Speaker 2: sitting politician sued like this?
18:32
Speaker 12: That's not unheard of, But most sitting politicians, when they
18:36
Speaker 12: want to say something even slightly contentious will take advantage
18:40
Speaker 12: of parliamentary privilege. The problem for Senator Price here is
18:46
Speaker 12: that it looks as though she made the mistake of
18:49
Speaker 12: relying on somebody else's press release. This is all about
18:53
Speaker 12: an internal dispute in the Central Land Council. One of
18:57
Speaker 12: the parties issued a press release. Senator Price appears to
19:01
Speaker 12: have relied on that and issued her own press release,
19:05
Speaker 12: not making a she didn't make a statement in parliament
19:08
Speaker 12: a privilege forum. So now it looks as though what
19:11
Speaker 12: she's got to do under the defense of qualified privileges
19:17
Speaker 12: is argue that this was a reasonable thing for her
19:19
Speaker 12: to do, that it was reasonable for her to rely
19:23
Speaker 12: on the veracity of this press release. The counter argument,
19:28
Speaker 12: which will be familiar to everybody in the media, is
19:31
Speaker 12: that she didn't check her facts. That's the argument from
19:34
Speaker 12: the other side, that she should have ecked every ence
19:38
Speaker 12: and every verb and every noun before she issued her
19:41
Speaker 12: own press release. But it's the bottom line here for
19:45
Speaker 12: politicians used parliamentary privilege, it's there for a purpose.
19:51
Speaker 2: Yep, take advantage of it. Chris Merritt, thank you so
19:53
Speaker 2: much for her time tonight. Still to calm the Left
19:57
Speaker 2: is losing it. Pass all the latest US news and
20:00
Speaker 2: learning what Americans made of our politicians and media packs. C. J.
20:05
Speaker 2: Pearson is up next. You're watching the Reader Panekey Show,
20:19
Speaker 2: and it's time for Left. He's losing it and the
20:22
Speaker 2: celebrity class continue to make ask clowns of themselves. It
20:25
Speaker 2: really is an epidemic, and Martin Sheen seems extra keen
20:29
Speaker 2: to elevate himself to the top of the pile with
20:32
Speaker 2: this asinine contribution.
20:35
Speaker 13: So the big guy in the White House, if he
20:37
Speaker 13: would take some personal advice. You've got to realize, sir,
20:41
Speaker 13: that you are the biggest nothing in the world. And Sarah,
20:51
Speaker 13: you stop there, You stop listening to all these people
20:53
Speaker 13: around you, these sycophants.
20:55
Speaker 2: Sickophant Martin. You mean, like this loopy lady side you
21:00
Speaker 2: at MISSNBC anchor Nicole Wallace be clowning herself, laughing along
21:05
Speaker 2: to your sad little attack. You know, it's clear listening
21:08
Speaker 2: to this rant from Martin Sheen that he should never
21:11
Speaker 2: ever speak in public without the aid of scriptwriters. He
21:15
Speaker 2: was quite erudite when he was playing the US President
21:19
Speaker 2: in the West Wing, but left to his own devices
21:22
Speaker 2: and meager brain power. He comes out with this.
21:25
Speaker 13: Who are encouraging you to be your non human self?
21:30
Speaker 13: Get in touch with that humanity. Stop fussing with your
21:32
Speaker 13: hair and don't worry about your card and stand up
21:36
Speaker 13: straight and speak clearly, not from your throat, speak from
21:39
Speaker 13: your heart, and start being human. That's what you were
21:42
Speaker 13: made for, not golf. So there you are, mister president.
21:47
Speaker 7: We'd all due.
21:48
Speaker 14: Respects to.
21:51
Speaker 2: Listen to Nicole Wallace. Cackle likes some deranged witch there.
21:56
Speaker 2: So Trump is not human and he should stop playing golf.
21:59
Speaker 2: Profound words there from Martin Sheen. Now wonder The MSNBC
22:03
Speaker 2: anchor was beside herself with excitement. I mean, imagine how
22:06
Speaker 2: fringe dwelling left you have become when teds sufferer Charlemagne
22:12
Speaker 2: is calling you out.
22:13
Speaker 7: I'll never forget when MSNBC did that to me.
22:16
Speaker 5: MSNBC said I was running, I was repeating Maga messaging.
22:20
Speaker 14: I was like, damn, that means that y'all really are
22:23
Speaker 14: not paying attention to your constituents.
22:25
Speaker 2: Now to another once great of Hollywood, who has shown
22:29
Speaker 2: himself to be a seriously unwealth individual in need of
22:32
Speaker 2: some professional help. Here is Robert de Niro, losing the
22:37
Speaker 2: plot again and calling a proud Jewish man a Nazi,
22:41
Speaker 2: among other things.
22:43
Speaker 4: He will not he we see it, we see it,
22:46
Speaker 4: we see it every we see it all the time.
22:48
Speaker 7: He will not want to leave.
22:50
Speaker 1: He set it up with his.
22:53
Speaker 4: I guess he's the gabbles of the of the Cabinet,
22:57
Speaker 4: Stephen Miller.
22:58
Speaker 7: He's he's a Nazi, Yes he is, and he's Jewish.
23:03
Speaker 7: He should be ashamed of himself.
23:05
Speaker 2: The only one who should be ashamed of himself is
23:08
Speaker 2: that you, Robert de Niro. But you are so ushually
23:11
Speaker 2: broken and bitter and so full of hate and bile
23:15
Speaker 2: that you have lost sight of just how to range.
23:17
Speaker 2: You have becoming really is rather sad. Talking about sad,
23:20
Speaker 2: let's check in with actress and alleged comedian Margaret Cho
23:23
Speaker 2: who had this to say about best selling author Jack Rowling.
23:27
Speaker 2: Shut up, JK.
23:28
Speaker 15: Rowling, shut up.
23:29
Speaker 2: You're a joke.
23:30
Speaker 15: That's why your name is JK. Because you are a joke.
23:34
Speaker 15: You're anti trans rhetoric.
23:37
Speaker 2: Makes me sick.
23:38
Speaker 1: You are despicable.
23:40
Speaker 15: I hope that when you face menopause you have to
23:43
Speaker 15: take a lot of gender affirming care, as I do,
23:47
Speaker 15: and when you're taking these hormones. They make your pubes
23:49
Speaker 15: grow out so thick and hard, it's.
23:52
Speaker 2: Like steel wool. Gosh, where does one start there? I
23:57
Speaker 2: think you should keep details of your private issues yourself, Margaret,
24:00
Speaker 2: don't think that is a widespread problem. And Jackie Rowling
24:04
Speaker 2: is sixty years old, she probably has already gone through menopause.
24:07
Speaker 2: And good of you to mention menopause. You know who
24:11
Speaker 2: doesn't go through that? Men pretending to be women because
24:15
Speaker 2: they're still men. Now, just when you think the leftist
24:18
Speaker 2: mastery media cannot sink any lower, along comes MSNBC. Listen
24:24
Speaker 2: to this vile, vile woman claim that JD. Vance doesn't
24:28
Speaker 2: really love or protect his own family, his own wife
24:31
Speaker 2: and children.
24:33
Speaker 16: He is married to a woman of Indian descent, he
24:36
Speaker 16: has mixed race children. So to all of the MAGA
24:39
Speaker 16: voters out there, if this man will not defend his
24:42
Speaker 16: wife and will not defend his kids, do you think
24:47
Speaker 16: he gives a crap about you or anything to do
24:50
Speaker 16: with you.
24:50
Speaker 2: That was the contemptible Jennifer Welch on the Lunatic Asylum
24:55
Speaker 2: masquerading as a news network at MISNBC. And Welch, what
24:59
Speaker 2: an awful name that is? Well, she had more to
25:01
Speaker 2: say about race. Listen to this diatrict.
25:04
Speaker 16: I'm a white woman that has lived in a red
25:06
Speaker 16: state my entire life, and I can tell you when
25:09
Speaker 16: I'm around white people, they test the racist water they
25:13
Speaker 16: tested on people like you all all the time, and
25:17
Speaker 16: they'll try to say off color things. I put my
25:20
Speaker 16: hand up. It absolutely happens, and you're fortunate that maybe
25:23
Speaker 16: you're having a differentiation.
25:25
Speaker 2: And it's time for a CNN trigger warning because they
25:29
Speaker 2: again had some sobering news for their permanently outraged audience.
25:33
Speaker 2: The Schumer's shutdown is not hurting Donald Trump. Take it away, Harry.
25:39
Speaker 17: In twenty eighteen slash twenty nineteen, Donald Trump's not approparating
25:43
Speaker 17: was already falling. The shutdown was eating and it was
25:46
Speaker 17: popular support. It was down three points already at this
25:49
Speaker 17: particular point and would fall considerably more. It was very
25:51
Speaker 17: much on the decline. You come over to this side
25:54
Speaker 17: of the screen. This shutdown hasn't eaten and the Donald
25:56
Speaker 17: Trump support it all. Isn't that a prole rating is
25:59
Speaker 17: actually the upper point in terms of in terms of
26:03
Speaker 17: his popular support. So the bottom line is this the
26:05
Speaker 17: first shutdown during Trump's first term twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen
26:08
Speaker 17: was hurting Donald Trump.
26:10
Speaker 1: This one is not hurting him at all.
26:12
Speaker 2: No, the shutdown is not hurting the president in the polls,
26:15
Speaker 2: and that's because most people don't blame him for the shutdown,
26:19
Speaker 2: despite the best efforts of the media.
26:21
Speaker 17: Blame Trump for the shutdown A great deal. In twenty
26:24
Speaker 17: eighteen slash twenty nineteen, sixty one percent, more than three
26:27
Speaker 17: and five Americans blame Trump a great deal for that
26:30
Speaker 17: particular shutdown. You come over to this side of the screen,
26:33
Speaker 17: look at this. It's a different world. It's a different world.
26:36
Speaker 17: Forty eight percent of Americans blame Trump a great deal
26:39
Speaker 17: for this particular shutdown.
26:40
Speaker 1: So it's more than three and five. Back in twenty eighteen.
26:43
Speaker 17: Slash twenty nineteen, it's less than half a drop of
26:45
Speaker 17: thirteen points. Again, it's no real wonder that Donald Trump
26:49
Speaker 17: at this point, looking at the shutdown, says, you know what,
26:51
Speaker 17: it's not actually harming me politically, in large part because
26:54
Speaker 17: he's getting less of the blame.
26:56
Speaker 2: Let's bring in political advisor and commentator Cjpeerce and CJ.
27:01
Speaker 2: The shutdown in term two is being seen differently by voters.
27:05
Speaker 2: But then again, so much of this second term is
27:09
Speaker 2: dramatically different to what we saw in term one.
27:13
Speaker 18: You know, you're exactly right, and the American people are
27:15
Speaker 18: seeing through the bs the Democrats are spewing. They know
27:17
Speaker 18: that Chuck Schumer and his colleagues own this shutdown.
27:21
Speaker 1: They know that the.
27:21
Speaker 18: Reason there our military service members are not getting paid
27:24
Speaker 18: is because of Chuck Schumer and the Democrat Party being
27:27
Speaker 18: held hostage by the progressive left wing. President Trump has
27:30
Speaker 18: done everything he can do to reopen this government. There
27:33
Speaker 18: have been vote after vote the United States Senate to
27:36
Speaker 18: reopen this government, to fully fund its programs, to fully
27:39
Speaker 18: fund the men and women who work in our federal government,
27:42
Speaker 18: many of them public servants, and the Democrats have stood
27:45
Speaker 18: in the way of that.
27:46
Speaker 1: So no, the American.
27:47
Speaker 18: People are smaller than the Democrats believe them to be,
27:50
Speaker 18: and they know that this is a Democrat shutdown and
27:52
Speaker 18: President Trump has nothing to do with it.
27:57
Speaker 5: Now.
27:57
Speaker 2: On Monday, applied footage of this hideous woman mocking Charlie
28:02
Speaker 2: Kirk's murder. This happened at a No King's protest. Just
28:06
Speaker 2: a vile, vile piece of work, and sadly, CJ she
28:11
Speaker 2: is a teacher. Those early reports were accurate. That thing
28:15
Speaker 2: is teaching young children. That's Lucy Martinez, teacher at Nathan
28:21
Speaker 2: Hale Elementary School, CJ Elementary School, you know. And the
28:27
Speaker 2: sad thing is, and Jesse Kelly's talked about this. As
28:30
Speaker 2: soon as I saw that footage, I thought, I bet
28:33
Speaker 2: you that's a teacher. And it's sad that I think that,
28:36
Speaker 2: But it's just happened too many times. Whenever I see
28:39
Speaker 2: footage like this of someone behaving in some reprehensible manner,
28:45
Speaker 2: you think, is it a public servant or a teacher?
28:47
Speaker 2: Too often it's precisely.
28:49
Speaker 1: That You're right.
28:51
Speaker 18: It's disgusting and vile in a truly alarming pottern like
28:53
Speaker 18: these are the people that are, you know, leading the
28:56
Speaker 18: future generation of leaders here in America. And imagine if
28:59
Speaker 18: this is what she able to do in public, imagine
29:01
Speaker 18: what she's doing in the privacy of a classroom. It's
29:04
Speaker 18: truly truly alarming, and I hope that the school district
29:06
Speaker 18: takes immediate action to terminate her employment. And that's not
29:09
Speaker 18: canceled culture. That's called consequence culture. And free speech is
29:13
Speaker 18: free in America, but you are not free from the
29:15
Speaker 18: consequence of those actions, and that you know is just
29:17
Speaker 18: beyond the pale.
29:18
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable to see.
29:20
Speaker 18: But I think that this entire episode, following the death
29:22
Speaker 18: of Charlie Kirker's exposed a very very real problem that
29:25
Speaker 18: we've already talked about a lot, actually in higher education,
29:28
Speaker 18: but now we see clear eyed and we can no
29:31
Speaker 18: longer ignore there is a deep, deep sickness and higher
29:34
Speaker 18: education in this country, but also too in the teaching
29:37
Speaker 18: colleges and the teacher schools that are actually you know,
29:40
Speaker 18: giving you know, the these teachers their educations. And so
29:43
Speaker 18: I'm not surprised. I am disgusted, but surprised, not at all.
29:49
Speaker 2: And what did you make of the no Kings protest
29:52
Speaker 2: across the country? Huge numbers took part. Do you think
29:57
Speaker 2: they have any impact in can vincing undecided voters or
30:02
Speaker 2: independent voters or is it the rusted on Democrats TDS
30:06
Speaker 2: sufferers who have taken to the streets again, you.
30:09
Speaker 18: Know readA I'm going to have to remember when you know,
30:11
Speaker 18: those in the left would accuse me of being a
30:12
Speaker 18: member of the Party of old white guys. But it
30:14
Speaker 18: seems as if there must be some role reversal here
30:16
Speaker 18: these days, because all I saw at these protests were
30:19
Speaker 18: elderly white people who were probably out in the streets
30:23
Speaker 18: living out their hippie days just a few decades ago.
30:26
Speaker 18: And so it seems to be the case that a
30:28
Speaker 18: lot of young people are starting to see through the
30:30
Speaker 18: bs of the left. They're coming over to our side.
30:32
Speaker 18: A lot of black people are, you know, obviously seeing
30:34
Speaker 18: through the bs of the left. They're coming to our side.
30:36
Speaker 18: And this is the best. They have a lot of
30:38
Speaker 18: delusional people who are just shouting at the sky and
30:41
Speaker 18: are saying, get off my lawn. But you know, no
30:43
Speaker 18: one's actually paying them any mind, because you want to
30:46
Speaker 18: know the deal here. And it's actually really interesting to me.
30:49
Speaker 18: If you can protest and engage in a no king's rally,
30:54
Speaker 18: you don't have a king. It is not rocket science.
30:57
Speaker 18: Tried doing that in North Korea. Tried youba, and see
31:02
Speaker 18: what happens. These people are so delusional and they need
31:05
Speaker 18: to be medicated. They need to be medicated. I hate
31:07
Speaker 18: given a big form of money, but these people need
31:10
Speaker 18: to be medicated.
31:13
Speaker 2: I think we need to make asylums great again, reopen
31:16
Speaker 2: the asylums, in fact, reopen all of them. Uh Now,
31:19
Speaker 2: this week our Prime Minister Anthony ALBERNIZI finally got a
31:24
Speaker 2: face to face meeting with the president, and that meant
31:27
Speaker 2: Americans were treated to members of the Australian media. Here,
31:31
Speaker 2: I are a couple of examples.
31:35
Speaker 1: Where do you come are from Australia?
31:37
Speaker 14: Who are you?
31:38
Speaker 1: Sidney Morning Herald?
31:39
Speaker 14: Wow? N go ahead?
31:41
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, I'm just kind to ask questions.
31:45
Speaker 2: And here is the second example. This cringe worthy question
31:50
Speaker 2: had social media ablaze. You have meet in your power,
31:54
Speaker 2: the most powerful man on earth. Why don't you just
31:57
Speaker 2: enable Ukraine to finish this for tomorrow?
32:01
Speaker 17: Well, if you knew anything about what you were talking about,
32:03
Speaker 17: you'd be able.
32:04
Speaker 1: You do.
32:04
Speaker 3: I don't.
32:05
Speaker 1: I don't think you do. Really, I don't think you
32:07
Speaker 1: do it because it's a little more complicated than that.
32:09
Speaker 1: But it sounds easy. We're in the process of trying
32:12
Speaker 1: to make a deal. If we make a deal, that's great.
32:15
Speaker 14: If we don't make a deal, it'll be uh, A
32:18
Speaker 14: lot of people are going to be paying a big price.
32:22
Speaker 2: Oh dear, so rude, embarrassingly ignorant question. If you didn't
32:27
Speaker 2: call it that stage, Hi, what did you make of it?
32:31
Speaker 18: Well, the first thing I made it is that we
32:32
Speaker 18: needed you in that press conference, actually to ask some
32:35
Speaker 18: real questions that people actually give a damn about. And
32:37
Speaker 18: maybe you could teach your colleagues a little you know
32:40
Speaker 18: thing or two about foreign policy. President Trump has an
32:43
Speaker 18: incredible record to stand on when it comes to leadership
32:46
Speaker 18: on the on the world stage. Look at just what
32:48
Speaker 18: happened just a few weeks ago as it relates to
32:50
Speaker 18: Palestine in Israel conflict. This is a man who has
32:53
Speaker 18: made himself the president of peace and will continue to
32:57
Speaker 18: pursue that all across the world. You know, if I'm
32:59
Speaker 18: your putin, respects him. If he doesn't respect him, he
33:01
Speaker 18: certainly fears him. And Zelenski knows that at the end
33:04
Speaker 18: of the day that President Trump is who he actually
33:07
Speaker 18: needs to deal with. And I think that he is
33:09
Speaker 18: working hard to stay in the President's get graces. Even
33:12
Speaker 18: show up to the White House in a suit this
33:14
Speaker 18: past week, and I think that's an indication that he
33:16
Speaker 18: realizes that's how important in his relationship with President Trump
33:19
Speaker 18: is going to be. And so, you know, the media
33:21
Speaker 18: can do what they do and commentate and you know,
33:24
Speaker 18: do whatever they will, but President trub will continue to
33:27
Speaker 18: lead from the front and not from the back.
33:29
Speaker 1: This is no longer the.
33:29
Speaker 18: Biden White House. This is the Trump White House. Is
33:31
Speaker 18: the deal maker. This is a peace seeker and that's
33:34
Speaker 18: exactly what we will get.
33:37
Speaker 11: Now.
33:38
Speaker 2: We had this memorable moment when Sky uses Andrew Connell
33:42
Speaker 2: made the President aware of some of Kevin Rudd's comments
33:45
Speaker 2: about him over the years, even.
33:49
Speaker 1: Things he invests the shit about you in the post.
33:51
Speaker 1: He's trying to invest in him.
33:52
Speaker 18: I don't know anything about him, and if he said bad,
33:55
Speaker 18: then maybe he'll like to apologize.
33:57
Speaker 14: I really don't know.
33:58
Speaker 9: Did an invest citization?
34:01
Speaker 1: Don't tell me where is he? Yeah, you said that.
34:10
Speaker 14: This position.
34:11
Speaker 1: I don't like you either, and it probably never will
34:15
Speaker 1: go ahead.
34:19
Speaker 2: What I loved most about that was the current Australian
34:22
Speaker 2: Prime Minister just sitting there laughing at his own ambassador
34:26
Speaker 2: being humiliated. That was the President's exchange with former Australian
34:31
Speaker 2: PM and the current ambassador, Kevin Radd. What did Americans
34:35
Speaker 2: make of that?
34:37
Speaker 18: I think it would affirm the fact that you know
34:40
Speaker 18: exactly where you stand with this president at any given time.
34:42
Speaker 18: He does immense words and so I don't know how.
34:45
Speaker 18: If the Australians are smart, maybe they'll get rid of
34:47
Speaker 18: this ambassador pretty soon. It sounds like he may be
34:49
Speaker 18: on his way out. Prime Minister didn't seem too eager
34:52
Speaker 18: to offend him in that room yesterday, so I guess
34:57
Speaker 18: we'll see. Maybe this story is still developing.
35:01
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, we think then it may be, though the
35:04
Speaker 2: Prime Minister has today come out and expressed his support
35:07
Speaker 2: for his ambassador again.
35:09
Speaker 1: Now, CJ.
35:10
Speaker 2: The two allies did sign an agreement to develop supplies
35:13
Speaker 2: of rare earths and critical minerals. This is going to
35:16
Speaker 2: be combating China's dominance of that market, and Beijing is
35:21
Speaker 2: not too happy about that. China is the world's leading
35:24
Speaker 2: producer of rare ertz and it's in a trade will
35:27
Speaker 2: with the US right now, CJ.
35:30
Speaker 1: You know it is.
35:31
Speaker 18: But I think this underscores again President Trump's commitment to
35:33
Speaker 18: America first leadership all throughout the world. And so you know,
35:37
Speaker 18: we're not here to play kate China. We're not here
35:39
Speaker 18: to play you know, second fiddle to them. We're going
35:41
Speaker 18: to continue to lead from the front. And again I
35:43
Speaker 18: understand why this is. So, you know, I guess just
35:46
Speaker 18: combiny leading to the Chinese because they dealt with folks
35:49
Speaker 18: like Joe Biden for four.
35:51
Speaker 1: Long, long years.
35:52
Speaker 18: But there is a new sheriff in town, and President
35:54
Speaker 18: Trump has made that clear, and he's going to work with,
35:56
Speaker 18: you know, our global partners all throughout the world to
35:59
Speaker 18: achieve exactly what he ran on and what the American
36:02
Speaker 18: people gave him a mandate to achieve in this past
36:04
Speaker 18: year's election.
36:07
Speaker 2: Now, sticking with trade and tariffs and the efforts of
36:10
Speaker 2: the Trump administration to bring manufacturing back to the US,
36:14
Speaker 2: let's hear from Nvidia's CEO Jensen Hung.
36:19
Speaker 1: This last week was a historic week.
36:23
Speaker 19: We manufactured the most advanced AI chips in the world,
36:28
Speaker 19: in the most advanced fab in the world here in
36:31
Speaker 19: America for the first time. All of this started with
36:34
Speaker 19: President Trump wanted to re industrialize the United States. His
36:38
Speaker 19: terrorst was a pressing agent in making this possible at
36:44
Speaker 19: the speed that we're doing, and now just shortly after
36:49
Speaker 19: less than a year, we're now manufacturing the most advanced
36:52
Speaker 19: chips for AI here in the United States.
36:56
Speaker 2: What of the impacts are you seeing from these tariffs?
37:00
Speaker 2: Has it seen inflation jump up dramatically? Have we seen
37:04
Speaker 2: some of the consequences the so called experts told us
37:08
Speaker 2: what was going to happen almost immediately, No.
37:11
Speaker 1: We haven't seen that.
37:12
Speaker 18: But what we have seen is the experts, again, as
37:14
Speaker 18: you just point out, be disproven yet again. I don't
37:16
Speaker 18: know why we continue to call these people experts anymore.
37:19
Speaker 18: I think we need to come up with a new
37:20
Speaker 18: word for them. I'm inclined to use the word liar,
37:23
Speaker 18: but you know, I like to be polite. I'll tell
37:25
Speaker 18: you what we are seeing as a result of President
37:27
Speaker 18: Trump's bold economic policy.
37:29
Speaker 1: We're seeing record job creation.
37:31
Speaker 18: We're seeing incredible investments, not just domestically from American companies,
37:35
Speaker 18: but international country saying I want to bet on America
37:38
Speaker 18: because America is in good hands under this president. And
37:41
Speaker 18: of course you hear from incredible business leaders like the
37:44
Speaker 18: CEO of Navidia and many others who are lauding President
37:47
Speaker 18: Trump for his leadership on this front. And so, you know,
37:49
Speaker 18: while the writers of you know, random publications and in
37:53
Speaker 18: the media who are betting on President Trump's failure, I
37:56
Speaker 18: actually want to remind them of a quote from President Obama.
37:58
Speaker 18: To root for the failure of a president is to
38:00
Speaker 18: root for the country's failure. And so maybe they would
38:03
Speaker 18: be wise to I don't know, just hope that President
38:05
Speaker 18: Trump knows what he's doing, because if history is any
38:08
Speaker 18: judge of what lies ahead, I'm pretty confident in his
38:11
Speaker 18: ability to deliver for the American people in the future
38:13
Speaker 18: and for many years to come.
38:16
Speaker 2: Well, I hope you're right, And let's end on some
38:18
Speaker 2: good news. The woken woeful Cincinnati Police Chief Terry Thiji
38:24
Speaker 2: has been placed on administrative leave and there's going to
38:27
Speaker 2: be an eternal investigation on the effectiveness of her leadership
38:31
Speaker 2: in the Cincinnati Police Department. She of course, came to
38:34
Speaker 2: national prominence after a number of white people were bashed
38:39
Speaker 2: in what is alleged to be race based hate crimes. Essentially,
38:44
Speaker 2: the footage was absolutely shocking, and yet the police chief
38:48
Speaker 2: had this to say about it.
38:51
Speaker 8: Social media and journalism and the role it plays in
38:54
Speaker 8: this incident.
38:55
Speaker 1: And yes, guys, that's you. That is you social media.
39:03
Speaker 8: The post that we've seen does not depict the entire incident, talk.
39:09
Speaker 2: About shooting the messenger, see Jay. She just seemed to
39:11
Speaker 2: be more upset about these clips going viral and some
39:15
Speaker 2: attention being brought to these horrendous crimes acts of violence.
39:19
Speaker 2: Then the fact that that actually happened and you had
39:23
Speaker 2: mobs of people attacking a couple of victims, so we're
39:27
Speaker 2: left with serious.
39:28
Speaker 1: Injuries exactly that.
39:31
Speaker 18: You know, she's asking us to just completely ignore what
39:34
Speaker 18: we all just saw with our own two eyes. It's
39:36
Speaker 18: actually insane to even think about. But this is exactly
39:40
Speaker 18: why President Trump and so many people on the right
39:42
Speaker 18: have gone after DEI. You know, these people don't know
39:45
Speaker 18: how to lead. They did not earn it. That is
39:47
Speaker 18: actually what DEI should stand for. But beyond that, it's
39:50
Speaker 18: exactly why President Trump has sent the National Guarden of
39:52
Speaker 18: many American cities because what I just saw in that
39:55
Speaker 18: video looks like a third world country that has no
39:57
Speaker 18: business happening in the States of America. And if folks
40:00
Speaker 18: like this police chief won't stand up and lead, then
40:02
Speaker 18: President Trumpell Andtervene and I got to tell you the
40:04
Speaker 18: people of Cincinnati will welcome it, and I believe the governor,
40:08
Speaker 18: the Republican governor of Ohio would also welcome it. Because people
40:11
Speaker 18: want to feel safe, they want to be safe in
40:12
Speaker 18: their communities. That's not something far fetched to ask for,
40:15
Speaker 18: not something crazy to demand. It's an expectation, and it's
40:18
Speaker 18: a very reasonable one. C. J.
40:22
Speaker 2: Pearson, thank you so much for your time tonight. Thank
40:25
Speaker 2: you still to comet what the new rare minerals deal
40:29
Speaker 2: means for Australia. Professor In Primer has the details. Welcome
40:44
Speaker 2: back joining me now is a steem geologist and author.
40:47
Speaker 2: Professor Ian primer I. Let's start with the thirteen billion
40:51
Speaker 2: dollar critical Minerals deal signed by the Prime Minister and
40:55
Speaker 2: President Donald Trump yesterday. It's highly lucrative deal that is
40:59
Speaker 2: designed to chatallenge China's dominance of the industry. But in hasn't.
41:03
Speaker 2: The Albanesi government presided over a decline in Australia's critical
41:08
Speaker 2: minerals industry, driven largely by soaring energy costs and well
41:13
Speaker 2: the Albanesi government's obsession with net zero.
41:18
Speaker 14: Well, the Albanzi government is anti mining, anti cheap energy,
41:22
Speaker 14: and anti farmers, and this has come across very quickly.
41:28
Speaker 14: The world needs rare earth elements. The mining and processing
41:32
Speaker 14: of rare earth elements is controlled by China, and these
41:37
Speaker 14: are strategic military and electronic metal and President Trump wants
41:41
Speaker 14: to take it out of China's hands. Now. One of
41:44
Speaker 14: the best places in the world to find rare earth elements,
41:48
Speaker 14: which are not rare, but it's very rare. To have
41:50
Speaker 14: them concentrated is In Australia, we have an operating mind
41:56
Speaker 14: a future mine stockpiles of rare earth element minerals from
42:01
Speaker 14: mineral sand mining, and these need to be processed into
42:06
Speaker 14: the rare earth element oxides, and there are fifteen of them,
42:10
Speaker 14: and this is a proprietary process. It's very very slow,
42:14
Speaker 14: it's very very expensive, and President Trump wants to make
42:17
Speaker 14: sure that what we have in Australia doesn't get processed
42:20
Speaker 14: in China. So this is strategically a very very good
42:24
Speaker 14: move because these rare as elements control military guidance systems,
42:29
Speaker 14: they control every mobile phone, every microelectronic instrument, everything uses
42:35
Speaker 14: these rare earth elements. Now, there's about four hundred thousand
42:39
Speaker 14: tons of rare earth element metals produced every year. That's
42:42
Speaker 14: not very much compared with the two point three billion
42:45
Speaker 14: tons of iron ore that's produced every year, but it's
42:48
Speaker 14: a lot compared with another strategic metal, say urenium, which
42:52
Speaker 14: is only seventy five tons a year. And renium is
42:55
Speaker 14: used in turbine blades of jet fighters that if you
42:58
Speaker 14: have a little bit of enim in there, he can
43:00
Speaker 14: spin them much faster and fly the jet faster than
43:02
Speaker 14: the opposition's jet. So President Trump has telegraphed what he's doing,
43:08
Speaker 14: change the Ministry of Defense into the Ministry of War.
43:11
Speaker 14: He is chasing the metals that are needed to run
43:15
Speaker 14: a military government, and Australia fulfills this role. We have
43:20
Speaker 14: an outstanding geology for the metals that the military world needs.
43:27
Speaker 2: Now, how do you see Kevin Rudd's position? Is it
43:30
Speaker 2: untenable or is he safe now that the deal has
43:33
Speaker 2: been struck and the Prime Minister has reaffirmed his support.
43:39
Speaker 14: Well, I think President Trump doesn't forgive lightly. I think
43:43
Speaker 14: mister Rudd was quite prominent behind the scenes in getting
43:47
Speaker 14: this deal on rare with elements, but he was dealing
43:49
Speaker 14: with bureaucrats. He wasn't dealing with the President. And I
43:52
Speaker 14: think the best thing that mister Rudd can do is
43:56
Speaker 14: to retire into the grandstand and clap the other players
43:59
Speaker 14: on the feat. He is a total dead loss for
44:03
Speaker 14: pushing the interests of Australia while we have this presidency
44:06
Speaker 14: and probably his administration after the next election.
44:14
Speaker 2: Now. Janet Orbrickson has written in The Australian about Donald
44:18
Speaker 2: Trump's influence on the ASX following its decision to get
44:22
Speaker 2: rid of its governance Council, which had been weighed down
44:26
Speaker 2: by the agendas of vested interests Janet Rights, who said
44:31
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's takedown of corporate wokedom wouldn't resonate in Australia plenty.
44:36
Speaker 2: In fact, the latest moves by the Australian Securities Exchange
44:39
Speaker 2: suggests the Trump effect is alive and kicking here and
44:44
Speaker 2: this is good news. Any decline in ESG requirements and
44:49
Speaker 2: obsessions has to be a positive.
44:52
Speaker 1: Well, it's great news.
44:53
Speaker 14: THEX is a small market worldwide, but the AX had
44:57
Speaker 14: gone terribly work. It's very much anti the junior companies,
45:02
Speaker 14: especially the junior expiration companies who actually find our avroth elements,
45:06
Speaker 14: who actually find things which are the big companies develop
45:09
Speaker 14: And they have been for a long while attacking small
45:13
Speaker 14: companies and trying to get them off the register because
45:17
Speaker 14: they do not fill the woke requirements of the AX.
45:21
Speaker 14: And a junior company can't do what a big company does,
45:24
Speaker 14: and they can have a woke department and it doesn't
45:27
Speaker 14: cost them very much compared with the grand scheme of things,
45:29
Speaker 14: but a junior company it'll cost them a huge amount
45:32
Speaker 14: of money. And among them dads investors and small self
45:38
Speaker 14: managed insurance funds and super agent superannuation funds invest in
45:44
Speaker 14: the juniors on the AX, and so I think the
45:47
Speaker 14: AX does have to have a major revision. It's not
45:51
Speaker 14: a market where you want to raise capital. You raise
45:54
Speaker 14: capital elsewhere. The AX lost it ten years ago. I've
45:58
Speaker 14: been a director of many AX company, They've been the
46:00
Speaker 14: directive TSX companies and own companies in London. It's a
46:04
Speaker 14: very very difficult market in Australia compared with elsewhere in
46:07
Speaker 14: the world, so that to me is wonderful news.
46:12
Speaker 2: Now the Northern Territory government has announced major energy reforms.
46:17
Speaker 2: The MID warnings the territory is on the brink of
46:19
Speaker 2: frequent life threatening blackouts without massive investment in its power grid.
46:24
Speaker 2: Deputy Chief NT Minister Jared Malee told the NT News
46:28
Speaker 2: we inherited a system that simply wasn't up to scratch
46:31
Speaker 2: and in action is a cost we simply cannot afford.
46:34
Speaker 2: It literally could become deadly vulnerable. People rely on air conditioning,
46:39
Speaker 2: rely on medical equipment. We need to make sure the
46:43
Speaker 2: energy system is going to be reliable in can they
46:46
Speaker 2: turn it around.
46:49
Speaker 14: Well, they can turn it around a number of ways.
46:51
Speaker 14: The NT is a big producer of gas, it's a
46:53
Speaker 14: big producer of oil. It's not on the Eastern or
46:56
Speaker 14: West Australian grids. It's isolated. The most important thing is
47:01
Speaker 14: that most of Australia's uranium that's produced goes through the
47:04
Speaker 14: Port of Darwin, and that would be the perfect place
47:08
Speaker 14: for a reactor, using Australian uranium and giving the Northern
47:13
Speaker 14: territory independence from the rest of the country and generating
47:16
Speaker 14: excess power. Now you need that in the wet season,
47:19
Speaker 14: when people go tropo, you need to have good air conditioning.
47:23
Speaker 14: It's just a horrible climate. In summer time, you just
47:27
Speaker 14: want to keep out of it. So they have energy,
47:29
Speaker 14: They have a lot of fossil fuel energy. They don't
47:31
Speaker 14: have coal, but they certainly have gas and oil and
47:34
Speaker 14: they could use this if they ignore the absolutely stupid
47:38
Speaker 14: situation that we put ourselves in this country where we
47:41
Speaker 14: have cheap, reliable energy which we export and we don't use,
47:44
Speaker 14: and a lot of that is exported to the Port
47:46
Speaker 14: of Darwin. So they could do something very quickly.
47:50
Speaker 2: Now in after years of inaction, how much time will
47:54
Speaker 2: they need to turn things around.
47:57
Speaker 14: Well, this inaction is mainly from labor governments and if
48:00
Speaker 14: they shipped in a gas turbine linked into the gas
48:04
Speaker 14: hub in Darwin, they can actually have gas driven electricity
48:08
Speaker 14: by Christmas.
48:11
Speaker 2: It could be that quick. So some of the states
48:15
Speaker 2: that we know have got severe energy issues, like including
48:19
Speaker 2: right here in Victoria, if the government has the will,
48:23
Speaker 2: you believe they could turn things around that quickly.
48:27
Speaker 14: As long as there's a federal government or bureaucratic interference,
48:30
Speaker 14: it could be done before Christmas.
48:34
Speaker 2: Well, that's good news for state like Victoria, because we've
48:38
Speaker 2: got an energy crisis on our hands here. Despite the
48:41
Speaker 2: fact that we sit on rich reserves of gas, we've
48:45
Speaker 2: got coal, we should not have any sort of energy.
48:47
Speaker 2: We should, in fact have the cheapest energy anywhere in
48:50
Speaker 2: the world, and we do not. We have some of
48:52
Speaker 2: the most expensive. Professor and plymath, thank you so much
48:55
Speaker 2: for your time tonight, and that's it from me. Don't
48:59
Speaker 2: go anywhere. Night is up next. I'll see you at
49:01
Speaker 2: eleven tomorrow night
49:08
Speaker 14: M HM.
