No, no, no, Rob. No, look, we can, um... We can actually rewind the tape. Are we rolling?

Right, you have a perfectly healthy political career and then bang. Just like that. Which means former Australian Prime Minister John Howard has blood on his hands. Do you ever think about the innocent victims of your gun control?

There were no innocent victims. There were no victims at all. Yeah, that's a photograph of Rob Borbidge. He was incredibly courageous politically in supporting our laws. But politically, he's dead. Bang. Just like that. Well, he lost an election that we all do at some point.

I mean, again, just to reiterate, physically, they're absolutely fine. But it makes you think. Unfortunately, what spending time with politically dead Australian politicians made me think about was how horribly wrong we have it in America. Thanks for speaking with me, Rob. Pleasure.
