Sharri | 17 March

Why on Sky News this is Sharry Good Evening tonight.

Gas lighting on a national scale exposed. What did the Albanezy government downplay the state of anti Semitic violence for election purposes? My thoughts in a moment, and I'll speak

Well, it was a.

Week ago today that police stood up at a press conference and claimed that a spate of anti Semitic attacks was not in fact anti Semitism. They told Australia this Vilellan spree was the work of organized crime and not

Yes, Zionists.

The Daily Telegraph reports he was arrested in twenty twenty one with trying to import a commercial quantity of drugs. If found guilty, they say Aka could be facing life in jail, but he fled while on bail and a warrant for his arrest was issued in September twenty twenty three, and according to The Telly, he's been traveling between Asia and Turkey ever since.

Now.

As you know, police claimed that anti Semitism wasn't a motivation, that it was simply to get a more lenient sentence. Yet major revelations in The Australian over the past few days that Akka, who is Muslim, has a history of making extremely anti Semitic remarks. The OSRA ports that in one post, Aka claims that Hitler was only washing earth they made him out to be evil. On Facebook, one of Aka's Facebook friends named Ronnie, posted a picture of

Now.

Aka's comment was in response to a post about a German fire right party becoming the second strongest party at the time. Now The Australian reports that separately, Aka posted I ain't racist, I have a jew disorder and in twenty eighteen, Aka wrote on the New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies facebook page, how did six million die when only three point two registered Jews in Europe.

At the time?

And The Australian reports that the very next day, in response to a story about Vandal's targeting the Jewish community by spraying swastikas on cars, Akka responded zig Hale.

In twenty sixteen, Aka.

Blamed Zionism for being the root of terror. He wrote, rip to all those innocents that have died in Aleppo and around the world in the hands of terrorism, and I mean from the root of terrorism America and the Zionists taking out these people like Saddam bin Leyden and Gaddafi.

Look what it started. He also wrote, you.

Still think nine to eleven was not an inside job to start this money making and Muslim massacre process, delete yourself now. So clearly a deeply disturbing anti Semitic ideology behind the criminal who police allege was targeting the Jewish community. Now the Australian newspaper has done a terrific job exposing this over the.

Past few days.

Yet police publicly claimed a week ago today that anti Semitism was not a motivating factor. The AFP Deputy Commissioner Chrissy Barrett said the motivation was organized crime and a reduced sentence, not anti Semitism. She spoke about wanting to give comfort, her words comfort to the Jewish community, and she used words like fake.

And criminal conjob.

Here were some of those remarks from Chrisy Barrett that we now know were misleading and irresponsible.

It's absolutely reprehensible that criminals would be taking advantage of the current environment when we know there is already a lot of fear and a lot of anxiousness in the environment to be leveraging that for their own benefit.

At that press conference, New South Wales police backed up the view of the AFP.

But you were saying that they were being carried out by people within a so many views, so peop led by criminals.

Correct, And.

You don't have any evidence that he is being driven by I hate you say that it's allege that.

It's organized crime.

Correct, that you're saying that they weren't being carried out by people within a Semitic view, so being led by criminals.

Correct.

Okay, And at no point did the AFPs Chrissy Barrett disagree with any of those assessments. That was a joint press conference New Southereles police reinforced the view yet again in that press conference that anti Semitism wasn't behind the spate of attacks.

So just a question on the arrests that you'd made. You said that you didn't believe anti semitism or an ideology.

For any of those arrested.

Do you also believe that anti Semitism was not an ideology for anyone higher up pulling any industries on any of the incidents.

I think what these organized crime heads have done is play to vulnerabilities in the community. Obviously there have been anti Semitic attacks of lower nature and a lot of anger and angst within the community. We've seen that since October seventh, twenty twenty three.

Now, Dave Hudson later admitted in budget estimates, and that was Dave Hudson, the New Southwales Police Deputy Commissioner. He later set in budget estimates that he didn't actually know what the motivation was because it was the AFP who'd been handling the informant. But this was a major joint press conference between the AFP and New South Wales Police and make no mistake, antisemitism was categorically ruled out as

So whilst it was a folks a hoax and the motivation was about criminal activities and not related to those issues, the fear that it created was very.

Real, wrong, wrong, wrong.

So, as I said, the sense is that this has been a confected and fake crisis, and you think about that word fake. Well, the AFP Deputy Commissioner Chrissy Barrett use the word fake seven times in her opening remarks.

Well, we are confident these tip offs were fake. There were several people who had different levels of involvement in this fake terrorism plot. A number of people have been identified as part of this fake terrorism plot. Regardless of the motivation of those responsible for this fake plot, those creating fake terror threats face being charged for creating fake plots. High powered weapons for a fake terror.

Plot, fake, fake, fake, and that word fake has cut through the city. My herold's David Crowe attacked Peter Dutton, writing why was he so quick to create a confected crisis out of a criminal plot? A nine News reported that the entire antisemitism crisis was a hoax.

So I d Massoui is one of fourteen people arrested after the Dural Caravan investigation uncovered the wave of antisemitism across our city was a criminal.

Hoax, and the ABC suggested that maybe the understanding of antisemitism should be revised down.

Do we need to revise down our understanding? The number of genuine anti Semitic attacks that have taken place.

And now there's a whole movement in New South Wales Parliament to overturn Premier Chris Mins's hate speech laws. Now, there had been political pressure from the Albanese government on the Joint Police Task Force to state publicly that this wasn't a terror attack, to push the narrative that it was a hoax. I told you this on Thursday Night's program, and so Tony Burke was ready to go with his attack lines against Dutton right after the police press conference.

Either the AFP did know about.

Akis anti semitism and then misled the public, or the AFP didn't know about his social media commentary, in which case this is an appalling indictment on the lackluster investigative efforts of the AFP. How could journalists at the Australian uncover these remarks but not the AFP. Now I asked the AFP these questions today. I also asked whether they will be apologizing to Australians for their dangerous messaging that has in fact exacerbated this crisis. But the AFP would

Of course, both things can be true.

Now, Alex Riftrin has spoken powerfully about the devastating impact that press conference has had. He said it's exposed dangerous failings by authorities, political leaders and public figures who chose to characterize the fire bombings that hit Jewish targets as a hoax or conjob unconnected to anti Semitic ideology, and

It's on the eve of an election.

Australia's leaders, entrusted with all of our safety and all of our national security, have showed cowardice an indifference on this crisis from the.

Very beginning and now right before the election.

Law enforcement positions a state of very serious and violent attacks as a hoax, as fake, a fake threat, despite the fact lives could have been lost and it's lucky they weren't.

This entire saga is not over.

There is more to come and we will not allow those in control to bury the truth. Okay, I'm going to be joined by Alex Rifchin in a little bit to speak about that. But now let's bring in Liberal Senator Holly Hughes and Sky News contributor Joe Hildebrand.

Welcome, here.

I'm going to come back to that topic, but I want to get through or talk about some of the other big stories today because tonight the Prime Minister is being condemned as tone deaf yet again. Aaron Patrick in The Nightly reports that the Prime Minister attended one hundred thousand dollars fundraising dinner with super donors at the Elite Ariat restaurant and you can see here photographs of the Prime Minister arriving. Pretty extraordinary. They were there to capture

Well, I think it's the fact that they were attacking Peter Dutton for attending to a fundraiser.

The night before.

In fact, it was supposed to be on the same night. It turned out that they moved this function in the area by one night. I wonder where Murray Watt is today. He was sent out as the yapping dogs last week to attend to attack Dutton. And we have a major day with CFMU News and he is workplace Relations and he was the attack dog sent out to attack Dutton for attending a fundraiser. And they're very quiet today. I mean, the thing about this Labor government, if they didn't have

Joe is very rare for.

Media to actually capture images of peace arriving for such a small elite fundraising dinner like this. But look, you've got to admit it's not a good look. This is a very fancy restaurant.

You know, their.

Bottles of champagne go up to ten thousand dollars.

Two hundred and fifty.

Dollars would be paying literally one thousandth of that for my plank. Yeah, look at fundraisers are never a good look. Both parties have them in the lead up and especially so obviously in the lead up to elections. It never looks particularly well, I don't think. And you know, good on the you know, good on the Nightly forgetting the yard that's great, but I don't think the two are comparable.

Four days topical psycho.

Tropical low Alfred. But that followed Peter Dutton criticizing the PM and saying he would be tone deaf if he called an election. So it was just a process of tit for tat.

But it's also on the back of Albaneze skipping out of Parliament going up to Far North Queensland for the floods because he had to go early in the morning, and it turns out he had to go early in the morning, not stand up for the people of Australia, not answer questions in question time, which is his job.

Though it was fired by Peter Dutton when he basically boxed elbow into a corner and said, if you call an election during this.

Emergency event which have just.

Downplayed to be fair Joe treasure Treasurer Jim Chalmers was also telling the Prime Minister behind the scenes the election.

I was saying it would be a terrible idea as well. But Peter Dutton was clearly making a bit of political hay with it.

Right, let's let's keep let's have a look at some of the other stories tonight. Dutton has hinted that income tax cuts could be on the agenda and the Coalitions, pointing to research showing that the average Australian had to pay three and a half thousand dollars more intacts last financial year compared to before Albanizi became Prime minister.

Holly, what are you hearing about?

Obviously he can't announce it, al buter, what are you hearing about the possibility that the Coalition is lanning to announce income tax cuts.

Well, the election hasn't been called yet and we're not going to be pressured into making announcements just because the Labor Government wants to jump up and down or the ABC wants to jump up and down. But Australians are being slugged considerably more in income tax. And you know, you can argue whatever you like, and we all know everything's gone up. We know standard of livings have gone down, we know all of the cost pressures that Australian families

I'm speaking to just Enterprice about that a bit later in the show. Now, you remember at the last election, Albnezi made a big song and dance about having an anti corruption watchdog, Well, what is.

It actually done in the past three years?

Same as your two hundred and seventy fivevial reduction.

There is serially in reports today that there are even calls to replace the Commissioner, Paul Brereton. Joe.

This has been operating for you know, yeah, it hasn't.

I always thought this was a really stupid idea and there was always going to tell kind of administrative wide elephant there is. There has not been any real wholesale evidence of endemic corruption at a federal level, and people said, oh, that's because we haven't had a watch dog to exit.

It's so different from SATs.

The opportunities just don't exist. I'm sure they don't be in and up to their next.

In the wrong level of.

There's plenty of corrupt conduct going on. I say that as a journalist, but we haven't heard.

The sort of the sort of correct. It's not just they're all squeaky clean and moral cure. What's obviously everyone is on the labor side. The others I can't speak for, but.

Yeah, that always works very well out for you, Joe Hey, come on the right.

But the way they've kept me, the opportunities.

For corruption are much much, much greater in state and local government than they are in federal government. It's just harder to be corrupt in the federal system because you have to do things like, you know, giving out giving out tenders to.

You for curemens.

The fact that the agency hasn't had many corruption findings doesn't mean the corruption's not happening. It means they've been ineffective or a truthless tiger. There is one hundred percent.

Well, we saw a two point four or two point three million dollar payment made to Britney Higgins in warp Speed.

Saying that was referred.

But that's been referred and there's been nothing done say that.

Okay, you could say that's inappropriate, or it's excessive, or there wasn't enough you know, transparency or due diligence. But is anyone seriously saying that, you know, the Attorney General took a kick back to hand out that money. Of course not.

But the political pain is creating a whole.

Lot of problem.

But that is the sort of stuff that the state corruption watch dogs look into. People taking money in exchange for political decisions, that is the definition of it. And there is just no real evidence that there's any kind of widespread there. There might be a decisions you disagree with, and there might be people.

It's again, it's more that we haven't seen them take any action. It's not the fact that that behavior isn't there in the first place.

It's just not the case.

But anyway, it's hard to know in what way it could be.

All right, Joe Hildebrand Holly Hughes A. Right, let's return to our top story now, the bombshell findings around the trove of Andy Semitic slurs by the alleged caravan Terra plot mastermind. And let's bring in Executive Council of Australian Jury co CEO Alex Riftin.

Thanks so much for joining us once again.

Look, what's your reaction to the fact that police came out a week ago and said anti Semitism wasn't a motivating factor and now we see all this evidence in the Australian Well, it.

Was really disappointing, Shrry because the police, we know, want to keep us safe. We know they've devoted immense resources and manpower to hunting these people, to solving the crimes. We know they want to keep the Jewish community in wider society at peace and harmony. We know this, and they did fantastic work in making arrests and investigating these five bombings and the Dural incident as well. But they seem to have undone that fine work with their communication.

On of all that, you now have.

Hardened criminals hanging off lowly hoodlands to set fire to our buildings and cars and set out streets ablaze with reckless disregard for what happens. And it's a miracle that

I mean, do you think it's similar to the gas the Jews commentary when police again took something that was so vile on the steps of the opera house and said there was basically no issue because the words were kill the Jews, not gas the Jews.

Well, you know, in contrast, I think the gas the Jews incident now looks trivial and like a mere peculiarity. Given the magnitude of this announcement and the words they used in this case, I think the implications have been far greater.

With gas the Jews. Where's the Jews?

I thought that was a dubious thing for the police to do, to effectively try to exculpate those who are chanting those words and bold us down in a dispute about whether it was where's the Jews or gas Jews, as though one was better than the other.

That was peculiar.

But this has really broken the momentum in terms of trying to actually fight anti Semitism and deliver solutions to the anti semitism crisis and a national security crisis. And as I mentioned, it's allowed negative actors who have tried to downplay this whole time to now galvanize and to try to dampen all the momentum and the enthusiasm for actually solving this problem.

So it's really incredibly disappointing.

And now there's a push to repeal hate speech laws in your South. I was parliament Alix, you and your organization have been calling for tougher laws for years, and in fact, your organization has had to take civil action because the current laws are so inadequate.

That's right, and it didn't begin on October seven. For many years, we've seen on occasion extreme clerics and others trying to effectively revive medieval hatreds and bring fign conflicts to our streets, inciting their followers to menace the Jewish community and to commit acts of violence.

And for a long time.

We've advocated for stricter laws against incitement of this sort. It's not about speech, it's not about the exchange of ideas. We're talking about words that are intended to incite hatred and violence in our communities.

That's something extremely serious.

And after October seven, we of course saw a whole series of clerics again glorifying the Hamas attacks, encouraging the followers to do likewise, speaking specifically of Jews in the most violent hatred terms imaginable, and there's no real remedy criminally, and so my organization was forced to be reaction under secuity in SEID the Racial Discrimination Act, which really for the sources of grave incidents that we're seeing is not the adequate remedy.

And these laws.

Again, it's a byproduct of the language used by the police in discounting antisymptism as a motive, because now we're seeing these attacks on the Premier of New South Wales, he's being accused of rushing through these laws as a knee jerk reaction to duel, when in fact these laws have been brewing for many, many years and are badly needed.

Indeed they are now.

Alex, I want to ask you about the outcomes from our anti Semitism summit a few weeks ago.

Now now you.

Wrote to Peter Dutton, he's publicly said that he would commit to every single one of the action points that do have that fall under federal remit. Now you've also written to the Prime Minister Anthony Albanezi. Have you heard back yet about whether he'll implement the action plan?

Not as if yet and we eagerly wait that response because, particularly in light of what's happened in the last week or so, with the diminishing of antisemitism as a priority issue, I think it's incumbent on the Prime Minister to respond to those fifteen points, which are all reasonable, which deal with both the short term and the long term issues that give rise to antisemitism, which will restore societal harmony

Yeah.

Well, hopefully we do get an answer from the Prime Minister because, as you said, that action point is still desperately needed despite the current attempts to downplay this whole crisis. Alex, thank you so much once again for your strong advocacy. Now after the break, a million dollars in taxpayer funds spent on decolonizing breastfeeding Australia's next doge potentially if they win the election, just into Nampijibber Price would join me

That must be a tough struggle for him.

But he said it was so he can run a global business from Australia and still be a constantly present dad. Now, Barnaby Joyce has gone on air calling him a total and other hypocrite. Let's bring now our panel to see what they think. Headline Advisory Director Andrew Carswell and GXO Strategies Director Camerine Milner. Welcome to you both. So Andrew, what is this? Carbon emissions are bad Unless it means you can be a good dad, then don't worry about the environment.

Oh look, char if.

We're talking about, you know, the most amusing story of the year so far, and this one's going to be top three. I mean, this is a billionaire that's effectively gone out in the street wearing sackcloth and pouring ashes on his head and asking forgiveness for buying a private jet. I mean have you ever seen someone so sad about buying a seventy million dollar private jet. It's got to

Indeed, Andrew.

But Cameron, I mean, I don't know the exact figures, so I could be wrong here, but you'd imagine that, you know, one return trip from here to the US would probably be the equivalent climate admissions that an average family in western Sydney would spend.

In a whole year.

And yet he lectures everyone else about you know, effectively paying more.

Don't you love hypocrisy?

Writ Large?

I mean when you have a proselytizing climate change bid in air, preaching to working class people. We've got to drop everything off like this and you know, and return to sackcloths. But it's okay for his Boeing private jet that he agonizes agonizes over Sharik. Which one thing I love though is he has a green stripe down the side of it. Yet you've got a green stripe pain down side of it, obviously, because that obviously makes it better that he's jetting around the world in this thing. Now, look,

No, indeed completely agree and seriously being a good doubt, come on, get off.

You can be a good dub.

Without the project the children, Yes, exactly. Now, for the second week in a row, Malcolm Turbull has intervened in the political debate. Today he criticized Orcus. You've probably heard the comments by now. He's also condemned Peter Dutton for refusing to support Albanezi and offering up a peacekeeping force.

Our troops in Ukraine.

Now, Andrew Turnbull just can't stay away and we're probably going to see more of him in the when the election campaign kicks off, because the last thing Turnbull once is Dutton his enemy becoming prime minister.

Yeah, I mean, this man is a dick to seeing his own name in newspapers and on TV. He's addicted to giving deep and moaningful interviews on ABC radio and TV. We've got to remember, as you said, he views Peter Dutton with enormous suspicion and holds him ultimately responsible for his downfall as Prime minister. It was Peter Dutton that initially made the moves against him exactly, so he sees

And when we at the time just reported the news that Dutton was considering a leadership challenge against Turnbull, all of Channel nine and Turnbull and everyone blamed NewsCorp just for reporting the story. Now, ca we've seen Turnbull's intervention. But what about your old boss, Bill Shorten, Because here came out on Friday with some comments, some advice maybe for alban easy about trade tariffs. So are we going to see more of Bill Shorton as well in this election campaign?

Look?

I think we are, and I think Bill's got a very big role. Obviously it's a vice chance for a significant university and it's up to him to make public comment. But let's make the difference here. I mean, Malcolm Turble is always about Malcolm. Bill's point was that tariffs have to be on the table, and that's what Keis Starmer said, It's what every other Western nation has said. And response to Trump only weak elbow only week Albo has said, oh no I won't touch tariff's. I won't touch it.

Let's have a look at the new polling today.

Freshwater polling shows the L and P head of Labor still on the two party preferred metric. That's fifty one to forty nine. It shows the Coalitions re vote slipped slightly. It's now thirty nine percent. Labour's is thirty one percent. Andrew, you worked with Scott Morrison when everyone thought he'd lose the twenty nineteen election.

Do you think there's some similarities now? What do you think of Peter Dutton's prospects?

Well, certainly, if there's an election this weekend, Shari, then you would see a Labor minority government, and probably a deep one at that. Look, clearly Labor has some momentum back.

Finally.

They spent the last three years trying to get momentum by all manner of different things, but they've actually got a bit momentum now. A little bit of that is from interest rate, a little bit of that is from the medicare policy they had, but most of it has come through a concerted effort to bring down Peter Dutton, whether that be through earned media hit jobs or a two million dollar paid advertising blitz against Peter Dutton. Peter

There's also the budget which we now are going to have. You know, the government at Albanezi certainly didn't want to have. He wasn't planning for it.

Cameron.

We heard the Treasurer to say, We heard the treasure today say that the impact from ext tropical cyclone Alfred it'll be around one point two billion dollar hit to the budget bottom line. So is this softening the ground for the budget position being worse than expected?

Well, I think if you look at my EFA which Jim Chalmers brought down December, the numbers aren't going to get any better Shahi in March for the full budget. And it's certainly certainly the case that Alba want to avoid a full budget all costs. But I think it's

What do you think about that?

Andrew Carswell is at a fair characterization flake for Angus Taylor?

No, it's not, and the Coalition will have more to say on their economic policies as a little ection draws closer. The thing about Jim though, he's got it. He's usually very good salesman, but he's got He's got a budget that is absolutely covered in reading to sell that there are no goodies in this budget.

Beyond a little.

Bit of help with energy bills, there's deficits to near eternity. There's record government spending which the public are becoming suspicious with. So it's really selling the unsellable. And yes he might be the best salersman of the government, but it's a very very tough sale heading into a campaign.

All right, Andrew Carswell, Cameron Milner, great to see you as always for our political panel on a Monday now after the break law, students told they could fail exams if they're welcome to country is underwhelming, or if they refuse to acknowledge traditional owners, plus the absurd projects funded by your taxpayer dollars. Just into Namber jimper Price would joined me after this quick break.

Welcome back or just into Namba. Jimper Price could potentially be the.

Next Doze of Australia, our nation's answer to Elon Musk, and such a role is unfortunately needed. The Sunday Telly reports that your taxpayer dollars are finding over a million dollars on decolonizing breastfeeding nearly nine hundred thousand dollars on the mouth as an expression of racial injustice. Over three hundred grand on subverting souvenir teatowers and eighteen thousand dollars on a drag experiment. We're joining us now to discuss

It just is so absurd.

Look, it is absolutely absurd.

And again it goes back to this concept that somehow First Nations people, Indigenous Australians have to be treated differently to the rest of the country and for some reason the concept of breastfeeding has been colonized and needs to be decolonized. I mean, I don't know why we're not supporting programs that take an approach to support mothers in general in terms of how to take care of their children with breastfeeding and those sorts of issues and concerns.

They've been doing a rafter work. They're about twenty one grants.

That they have found that have been identified and sub got to my attention and to the Coalition's attention. The Prime Minister needs to explain why he thinks these grants are a valuable spend of tax payers money because where I'm sitting, I'm just scratching my head at the moment.

I know the examples of waste are so absurd, and yet we have seen Peter Dutton and you as well face criticism when you've announced your plans to look at the waste and to actually cut the public service. Gise, I just want to ask you about this report in Today's Australian that revealed law students at Macquarie University Law School may fail an exam if they perform an underwhelm acknowledgment of country or even refuse to acknowledge the traditional aborage or owners at all.

What's your view of this.

It's quite disgraceful.

I think you know, the whole concept of welcome to country is a reinvention of culture if you like the fact that it is being imposed upon university students in their educational institutions, especially when it's being implanted into courses that actually don't have anything to do with indigenous culture, history or anything like that.

This is pure indoctrination. It's not education. It's something that we as a coalition have a plan to ensure does not go ahead. And I know that my wonderful colleagues Sarah Henderson is doing a rafter work in this space.

As we know when we've been looking at anti semitism also within universities, that we can't continue to push these ideals onto.

Students, and they should be there if they're right to have an education and not be indoctrinated.

I hear so many examples of the parents of university students telling me that their kids know that they have to give what is seen as the right answer when it comes to taking a particular position in a subject essay, no matter what the topic, because otherwise they'll get marked.

Down for it.

And at the end of the day, the students are there to get good marks, to succeed and get a job. So, you know, the idea that university is are stifling freedom of thought is very disturbing.

You just mentioned Yeah, go ahead.

Sorry, I was just going to say, I mean, I'm also hearing from students as well.

I think this is really just the tip of the iceberg, and we will.

Probably uncover a lot more than just this in terms of what universities are subjecting students to exactly.

That's why we do need a oral commission into it today.

Peter Dutton committed thirty five million dollars if he wins the election to restore the adasses Or Synagogue in Melbourne, which was firebomb last year.

Here he was today.

Coalition government would provide funding of up to thirty five million dollars to provide support to build back. As James pointed out before, this synagogue, this center, and this wonderful contributor to life here in the local community.

We want to bring it back to life.

Jisinda.

I was actually quite shocked in the past few months to see that the Albertezy government hasn't made an equivalent promise.

No, well, actually I'm not terribly shocked in terms of this government's actions.

Albanesi has failed at a number.

Of levels to address anti Semitism in our country. You know, Peter Dutton came out when we saw what was happening on October seven and the horrible things that occurred on the Opera House, and ever since Peter Dutton has on a line clearly in the sand that we do not accept anti Semitism, terrorism and that level of violence within our country.

The Prime Minister. It is shameful that the Prime Minister has failed to.

Even make any kind of commitment towards restoring the synagogue or any other commitment toward tackling anti Semitism with any real depth or a way that's going to be to ensure that our Jewish community feels like they can be safe in Australia in twenty twenty five.

Well, I don't have the exact figures at hand, but I think he's committed something like two hundred thousand dollars, but nowhere near in the scale of thirty five million that died in did today just send to really appreciate your time as.

Always, Thank you so much.

All Right, Despite overwhelmingly bad media coverage, Donald Trump hits his highest approval rating ever.

I'll talk about that with Kosher Gada.

Next, all right, and to finish up, let's have a look at the US and Skynese contributed Koshagada joins me. Now, Kosha, two hundred and fifty accused migrant gang members have been deported to Ol Salvador.

But this could be illegal.

It is illegal, that's in contravention of the federal judges ruling against Trump on this.

Will there be any ramifications.

You know, legally, Shari, It's hard to see that there will be, because what the Trump team's argument is, in terms of the narrow legal question that the judge's ruling was talking about, is jurisdictional. The executive order that the Trump team based this on is basing it on some statue from the eighteenth century that the judge is challenging

If only we could deport violent criminals here as well. Coach should tell us about this polling, because most of the media cover each that we see about Trump is pretty negative, but we hear that he has had his highest approval writing ever, movod is saying the US is on the right track than any time in the past twenty years.

Tell us about this poll.

Yeah, so that poll about just the country overall is headed in the right direction wrong direction is one of the seminal polls in US politics. I think it's been measured since nineteen thirty six or something like that, and that's always like a great heartbeat of just where the country stands, even above and beyond the president. And these

Yeah, it's pretty pretty extraordinary. And I think a lot of that will hinge on where Russia Ukraine ends up, because he said he was going to solve this crisis. Let's see, all right, Koshagada, appreciate your time and thanks everyone for your company tonight. I'll see you tomorrow at eight, looking forward to it.

And here's Paul in the man Cave.
