I mean, now someone who knows a little bit about this, Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA founder. Charlie, it's great to see you.
Watching some of the response in the US media, CNN stated, oh, he's just teasing. What, teasing about taking over other countries? But then they said that, hey, it'd be a great deal for Americans. It'd be bigger than the Louisiana Purchase. There's no such thing as teasing when you're threatening the sovereignty of independent nations.

And I think for a lot of us, we just thought Donald sort of acted like the buffoon, but he wasn't that stupid. But here's a man who, when Putin launched his murderous war in Ukraine, praised Putin, said he was savvy, said he was a genius, and he has one of his Putin trolls taking up one of the key places in his new administration.

So his disregard for Ukrainian sovereignty sent, I think, a very, very chilly message. His attacks on Panama, his attacks on Greenland, his attacks on Canada are sending a message that he doesn't respect the international order in terms of the rights of nations. And we have to start taking that, I think, a lot more seriously.

promised to ban the AR-15. That's the weapon that was used to murder 26-year-old children at Sandy Hook. And yet on Thursday, the Conservative leader was tweeting that the government wasn't going after the AR-15, but hunting rifles. So little wonder he gets endorsed by Alex Jones, who's notorious for taunting families of children murdered by the AR-15.

So will the minister confirm, is the government going after hunting rifles, or the AR-15, or is this the Conservative leader being the, quote, real deal of disinformation for the likes of Alex Jones?

We have a couple of bulwarks to protect democracy in place that are really important. And it's one of the reasons we haven't gone so far down the mega rabbit hole. Number one is our Supreme Court is nonpartisan, scrupulously nonpartisan. allowed our judicial system to be overtaken in the way the Supreme Court in the United States has been completely turned over to the far right.

You need an independent judicial system, because the independent judicial system has called out our prime ministers in the past. In fact, the last Conservative government had numerous battles with the Supreme Court on laws that just weren't constitutional. So that's a really important bulwark that we still have. I would imagine it'll be attacked soon enough. The other is electoral financing.
