Auto transcription (I was curious, sharing for access. Agree this is fantastic.)
Screenshot of a transcript. It says: “Exactly right, but I want to say a couple things. One thing about cities that I found in this reporting: cities are very unfairly labeled as these problem centers by Donald Trump and others. And one thing is worth remembering: if you look at the population of well, all people in cities, particularly people who come to cities from elsewhere, but particularly homeless and other vulnerable people in cities, look at youth homeless. A pretty large chunk of those people who end up in cities were failed in some other parts of this country. Okay, in the fraction of youth homeless who are LGBTQ, whatever, pretty high. So there are a lot of families in this country who fail the first duty of family, which is to love your kids more than any other thing, and there's a lot of families in this country that look at some verse in some book, and their child's face, and choose theSecond screenshot says: “verse in the book over their child's face, and drive their children out of Nebraska or out of Florida or out of Idaho, and those kids come to San Francisco, and those kids come to New York, and those kids go to Chicago, and we have friends giving dinners with them. You live in L.A. You are surrounded by people who have those kind of stories, and so cities. Every time someone is sleeping on a subway bench in a city, the rest of America can sort of say, "Ah, look at these cities.” But we are holding a lot of your people who you fail to love and take care of.

Why the sniggering ABCBreakfast? A wealthy developer beat Albo at tennis, wow. Weak response to Albo pointing out that guy is spending big on billboards etc attacking the tax changes, rather than more to the charity involved. And stop interrupting his answers when you don't land the gotcha moments.

"Australia has no national system for tracking tobacco products through the supply chain." "Regulation is fragmented across federal, state and territory governments. Licensing arrangements and record-keeping obligations are inconsistent, while enforcement agencies lack adequate resources."

Bird flu won’t hit species equally – some can fight it while others won’t be able to. As genomics experts Kathryn Belov and Carolyn Hogg write, Australia urgently needs to chart the immune risks for our many threatened species so authorities can focus on those most at risk.
