You can listen to the Front on your smart speaker every morning to hear the latest episode. Just say play the news from the Australian. From the Australian, Here's what's on the Front. I'm Claire Harvey. It's Thursday, September twelve. Thirty three people were arrested following violent demonstrations outside a Landforce's military hardware conference in Melbourne. Police will allege demonstrators hurled paint, horse manure and acid at offices, while also
blocking roads and committing arson. Fifty four days to go and the US election has kicked into another gear, with Carmala Harrison Donald Trump facing off in a fiery debate. In today's episode, the best bits from a vice president hoping to make history and an ex president with nothing to lose.
They have abortion in the ninth month. In other words, we'll execute the baby.
Well, I think this is so rich, coming from someone who has been prosecuted for national security crimes, economic crimes, election interference.
Ten weeks ago, a presidential debate saw Donald Trump hailed as unusually disciplined and Joe Biden ended his political career. This time around, Trump was determined to hold the discipline and Kamala Harris needed to prove she can match the Donald.
I probably took a bullet to the head because of the things that they say about me.
I'm going to end in fight. You to attend one of Donald Trump's rallies because it's a really interesting thing to watch. He talks about fictional characters like Hannibal Lecter. He will talk about wind mills cause cancer. And what she will also notice is that people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom.
Abortion, immigration, healthcare, gun control, Ukraine, Israel. On all the big topics. The candidates were prepped and ready to go.
This is a radical left liberal. She wants to.
Confiscate your guns and she will never allow frakkin in Pennsylvania.
Tim Walls and I are both gun owners. We're not taking anybody's guns away. So stop with the continuous lying about this stuff.
She hates Israel.
If she's president, I believe that Israel will not exist within two years from now.
This debate was on commercial network ABC, and the rules had been the subject of FeAs negotiation beforehand.
No topics or questions have been shared with the campaigns. The candidates will have two minutes to answer questions, two minutes for rebuttals, and one minute for follow ups, clarifications or responses. No pre written notes allowed. Their microphones will only be turned on when it's their turn to speak. There is no audience here tonight.
That last one. The rule about speaking in turn, was introduced following this disastrous display between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump in twenty twenty.
I'm not going to answer the question because to answer that, because the question, the question was just this rational left?
Would you shut ups? Who is on your list?
Joe?
Who is on your right? Gentlemen?
I think on Wednesday it was Harris who couldn't stop interrupting women.
But he would have been sitting in Moscou Quiet, please, he would have been sitting in Moscow.
I'm talking now, you don't mind? Please? Does that sound familiar?
Harris the former president? Or Donald Trump or you? And spent most of the debate looking at her opponent.
I have traveled the world as Vice president of the United States, and world leaders are laughing at Donald Trump. I have talked with military leaders, some of whom worked with you, and they say you're a disgrace.
Trump called Harris she or her, but didn't glance in her direction.
She's worse than Biden. In my opinion.
I think he's the worst president in the history of our country. She goes down as the worst vice president in the history of our country.
Harris tried to take it to character.
I fired most of those people, not so graciously. They did bad things or a bad job.
I fired him. They never fired one person.
Donald Trump was fired by eighty one million people, and clearly he is having a very difficult time processing that.
But it was only Trump who wanted to talk about Joe Biden.
Kid yourself, David, we're playing with World War three and we have a president that we don't even know.
If he's Where is our president? We don't even know if he's a president.
And just a clarify, he threw him out of a campaign like a dog.
We don't even know is he our president? But we have a president president doesn't know he's alive.
You're not running against Joe Biden, You're running against me.
Illegal immigration is the issue Donald Trump likes best, and on Wednesday, he went straight to what he characterized as an uncontrolled crime wave by millions of illegal immigrants.
In Springfield they're eating the dogs, the people that came in, they're eating the cats, they're eating the pets of the people that live there.
One of the moderators, David Mullir, sought clarification.
ABCDS did reach out to the city manager there. He told us there had been no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed, injured, or abused by individuals in the immigrant community.
I see people intellivilet me just say this is the people on television say my dog was taken and used for food. So maybe he said that, and maybe that's a good thing to say for a city manager.
I'm not taking this from people or television.
Say dog was eaten by the people that went there. You talk about extreme.
You know. This is I think one of the reasons why in this election, I actually have the endorsement of two hundred Republicans.
Trump doubled down.
On top of that, we have millions of people pouring into our country from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums, and they're coming in and they're taking jobs that are occupied right now by African Americans and Hispanics, and also unions.
Unions are going to be affected very soon.
They are taking over the towns, they're taking over buildings, they're going in violently. These the people that she and Biden led into our country, and they're destroying our country. They're dangerous, They're at the highest level of criminality, and we.
Have to get them out. We have to get them out fast.
Illegal border crossings reached a record high during the Biden administration until tighter controls enacted in June reduced the inflows. Harris was appointed by Biden to reform the border, but there was no progress for the first two years of their term. It's a sow point.
She was the borders are. She doesn't want to be called the borders a because she's embarrassed by the butterfact, she said at the beginning, Oh, I'm surprised you're not talking about the border yet. That's because she knows what a bad job they've done.
Abortion is the issue that Democrats think will mobilize women across ideological and state lines. Trump appointed judges to the Supreme Court who threw out Roe versus Wade. In the debate, Trump went for Harris's vice presidential candidate, Tim Walls.
They have abortion in the ninth month. The Democrats are radical in that, and her vice presidential pick, which I think is a horrible pick, by the way, for our country because he is really out of it. But her vice presidential pick says abortion in the ninth month is absolutely fine. He also says execution after birth, it's an execution, no longer abortion because the baby is born is okay. And that's not okay with me. Hence the vote.
For fifty two years, they've been trying to get Roe v.
Wade into the States, and through the genius and heart and strength of six Supreme Court justices, we were able to do that. Now, I believe in the exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother. I believe strongly, and it Ronald Reagan did also. This is an issue that's torn our country apart for fifty two years.
Lindsay, divis interveined.
There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it's born. Man and Vice president want to get your response to President Trump.
Donald Trump hand selected.
Three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Roe v. Wade, and they did exactly as he intended. And now in over twenty states there are Trump abortion bands, which make it criminal for a doctor or nurse to provide healthcare. In one state, it provides prison for life. A survivor of a crime a violation to their body does not have the right to make a decision about what happens
to their body next. That is immoral, and one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree. The government and Donald Trump certainly should not be telling a woman what to do with her body.
Coming up from Israel to Ukraine and all the way back around. The best analysis and reporting on the US election is at the Australian dot com dou join our subscribers now to make sure you're always the first to know. The conflict in the Middle East is an issue where around the world politicians are trying to walk a line between two passionate sides, but in America, the president is expected to actually solve this situation.
Israel has a right to defend itself, we would, and how it does so matters because it is also true, far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed, children, mothers. What we know is that this war must end. We need a cease fire deal, and we need the hostages out.
President Trump, how would you negotiate with Netanyah who and also Hamas in order to get the hostages out and prevent the killing of more innocent civilians in Gaza.
If I were president, it would have never started. If I were president, Russia would have never ever. I know putin very well, he would have never There was no threat of it either. By the way, for four years have gone into Ukraine and killed millions of people. When you ended up far worse than people understand what's going on over there. But when she mentions about Israel, all
of a sudden she hates Israel. She wouldn't even meet with net Yahoo when he went to Congress to make a very important speech.
It is absolutely well known that these dictators and autocrats are rooting for you to be president again because they're so clear they can manipulate you with flattery and favors. And that is why so many military leaders who you have worked with have told me you are a disgrace.
Trump said he'd be able to solve the other conflict raging out of control, Russia's war in Ukraine.
That is a war that's dying to be settled.
I will get it settled before I even become president if I win. When I'm president elect, and what I'll do is I'll speak to one, I'll speak.
To the other. I'll get them together. That war would have never happened.
I believe the reason that Donald Trump says that this war would be over within twenty four hours is because he would just give it up. If Donald Trump were president, Putin would be sitting in Kiev right now. Putin would be sitting in Kiev with his eyes on the rest
of Europe, starting with Poland. And why don't you tell the eight hundred thousand Polish Americans right here in Pennsylvania how quickly you would give up for the sake of favor and what you think is a friendship with what is known to be a dictator who would eat you for lunch.
Trump was asked about January Sikhs the riot, where as he refused to concede Joe Biden had won the twenty twenty two election. A mob stormed the Capitol Building.
Peacefully and patriotically, I said during my speech, not later on, peacefully and patriotically, and nobody on the other side was killed.
Ashley Babbitt was shot by an out.
Of control police officer that should have never ever shot her.
It's a disgrace.
Is there anything you regret about what you did on that day?
Yes.
I had nothing to do with that, other than they asked me to make a speech. I showed up for a speech. I said, I think it's going to be big.
I was at the Capitol on January sixth. I was the vice president elect. I was also an acting senator. I was there, and on that day, the President of the United States insided a violent mob to attack our nation's capital, to desecrate our nation's capital. On that day, one hundred and forty law enforcement officers were injured and some died. So for everyone watching who remembers what January sixth was, I say, we don't have to go back.
Let's not go back. We're not going back. It's time to turn the page.
Clearly, I am not.
Joe Biden, and I am certainly not Donald Trump.
This is a crooked administration and they're selling our country down the tubes.
