John Howard | A Post-Covid Australia | Conversations

[@ross7668]

I’d almost forgotten how sensible a true leader could be. It took a few years for Mr Howard to gather steam...but to hear his sensibility, is so refreshing... even for an old codger. Thank you.

[@jetnavigator]

Gun laws, dependence on China, rampant immigration, spiralling housing costs, the collapse of manufacturing, sacrificed at the altar of golbalism are what come to my mind of his legacy. Apart from that he was a stellar P.M.

[@nicolaiitchenko7610]

You don't think that the Mandarin spouting KRudd sold us out to his dream home of China and his dream governmental system which he is still, to this day, defending? Not to mention the lying bovine who never won an election selling out our entire defense potential to the same Communist Masters that have owned the Labor Party for ever.

[@jetnavigator]

@@nicolaiitchenko7610 but muh Krudd. This is about Howard. Same arse. Different cheeks.

[@comradesomo]

Don't forget having a fire sale on our gold reserves.

[@petahagan1782]

Wonderful interview Johns. You deserve all the respect for your work as Australian leaders.

[@sandracoombs2255]

What a tragedy for Australia that we no longer have leaders like Howard in this country.

[@highendbutthurt2781]

Honestly this is the reason he was around for as long as he was, what an amazing man

[@paperclip612]

And John Anderson, a very good interviewer who let's people talk without incessantly interrupting.

[@AnthonyTolhurst-dw1nc]

And don’t forget the media, Hawke and Keating lambasted John for years before the dumb voter listened to him. To the point of ridicule.

[@jurisranger]

I was brought up in a household that hated John Howard and it no doubt influenced that way I grew up thinking he was terrible but as I look back now I realise how great a leader he was for our nation. We need leaders like Howard for such a time as this. Thanks for the great interview John.

[@craigball2732]

Another terrific interview John. Thank you. It’s always a welcome relief to listen to a conversation that is filled with common sense, rattan than the woke nonsense that the world is currently being subjected to.

[@Brian-dq2jc]

God Bless Australia🇺🇸❤️🇦🇺

[@thinkbeforesaying244]

At one time I might have agreed with John Howard about Australians not like being told what to do, but as a Victorian under Dictator Dan, I am shocked at how compliant everyone is and how much they defend Daniel Andrews tactics or just can't see through them, even to the point of being angry at someone who disagrees.

[@Mike-br8zt]

I tend to agree with you on this point but I also think fear played an important part.

[@jimbrown5268]

I really wish we could have these two Johns back in the halls of leadership in this Country

[@larrys5509]

Outstanding chat gentlemen. John, keep these long form conversations going as I find them far more interesting than anything the media here has to offer. Rogan is the long term proof.

[@elizabethblackwell5702]

Welcome back, John. Best news the country has had in ten years. I'll do anything to help.

[@googlesamsung545]

I came to Australia in 1997 and initially not very impressed by the appearance of John Howard😀but over time, I was fully convinced by his leadership and wisdom...I could only wish one thing that he could have done better---i.e., left the primary minister role to Peter instead of hanging on the power until he was defeated...

[@simonwallace699]

I'm sure he regrets his decision to hold on for too long, because yes, it was the wrong decision. And yes, if he'd handed over in early 2007 they probably would have retained power, but coulda/woulda/shoulda. No point wondering about it any more.

[@jenniferwilson5358]

Such an inspiration and insight. John Anderson is a great interviewer and this was a gold interview.

[@BlinkyBillNo1]

The two Johns are national living treasures.

[@Roadrunnerz45]

thank you for having mr howard on. we need his views on things before he steps back into retirement. i hope he will be around a while yet.

[@christopherrobbins9985]

Great discussion. John Howard is sharp as a tack at 81. Nobody better than John Anderson doing these kinds of civil interviews. Australia should be proud of the way its handled the COVID pandemic. I (American living in Sydney 5 + years) think the Aussie hybrid public/private healthcare system is a model for the western world.

[@bayblues5623]

Brilliant! Wish I was an Australian!

[@JC-oy9ou]

John Howard may you live your remaining years with dignity.

[@chrisdraper5067]

Love your videos John. As a Kiwi who has lived and worked both sides of the Tasman for decades - I would love to see you examine that special relationship. The media love to focus on superficial sporting rivalry and differences of opinion, but our bonds run much deeper of course. What does the long term look like from the constraints of leadership, geopolitics and alignment of trade objectives with the wider world?

[@dadbosworth6838]

will never forgive Howard for the gun laws lowest of the low

[@zakblue]

and yet not one fuck is given by Howard

[@HappyAccident06]

I was born around the time they were banned. I harbour a great deal of resentment for the generations who let it happen. A time will come in this century that we will wish for a means to protect ourselves.

[@krankywitch]

A very enjoyable hour listening to The Two Johnnies 😄 Thank you. I do think QEII was a bit mean - should be Sir John by now

[@HappyAccident06]

Both disappointing and insightful. I suppose I was naive to think that 2 career politicians would speak their mind about the sickness that is festering in our society and the hard times to come. Regardless, thank you John. These conversations are more value than anything that comes through the Tele.

[@mattt6355]

Overall a great government. I wouldn’t put high levels of immigration as an achievement. That was their biggest failing.

[@BlinkyBillNo1]

John Howard looks like everyone's favourite uncle. He was a very good Prime Minister too.

[@bosse641]

Covid ? How about you have a talk with Jon Rappoport about that, John ? The whole world has fallen for the pathetic lies.

[@Xylos101]

Trump isn't done. He will continue to be the most influential personality of the early 21st century.

[@rafal5863]

I agree. Twitter should reinstate his humanity rights.

[@stevenlyhne1]

Great to hear from John Howard again. I agree with 99% of what he says, but the US election wasn’t transparent.

[@peterkarras8523]

I read in the newspaper of a 30 year cabinet documents release that the Heysen tunnels through the Adelaide Hills was to be scrapped

[@hubris9167]

Brilliant.

[@thinkbeforesaying244]

The cooperation between the government & the business sector has been enforced, as opposed to cooperative. As a result, many lives have been hugely impacted by the collapse of small businesses in particular. I just have to go down to my local shopping strip to see the consequences!

[@skeletorrobo]

Very illuminating.

[@NH-vo7ch]

He was a great leader. He certainly went against the tide, we in the UK had New Labour who spent money like a drunken sailor, the state massively expanded, immigration went unchecked. Fortunately for them their incompetence was hidden by a housing bubble and credit boom that filled the coffers but when the inevitable bust came we were left totally exposed, and Labour conveniently scapegoated the 'Bankers'. Truth is we have never recovered from that disastrous period economically or societally and probably won't. Had we had someone like Howard in charge I am certain we would be in a much better place.

[@nicolaiitchenko7610]

What are the views of yourself, Mr. Anderson, and perhaps several of your recent Australian guests - especially Mr. Howard, to issues like the Bradfield water for Queensland (and the agricultural assistance to the rest of the country that this would bring) and more interestingly, the suggested plan to build two major steel producing plants one on each northern coast, with a rail corridor feeding iron ore one way and coal the other? Would these be viable and - more importantly - could the government bodies get out of the way enough to allow private enterprise to create these schemes? Finally - with all evidence now becoming clear - do you believe that there will be a time 'post covid' when we see governments in some places in Australia, taking more advantage of this crisis than the freedoms we enjoyed in the time of Mr. Howard should allow?

[@BlinkyBillNo1]

Good questions.

[@bobbebbington5356]

These questions are fundermental to the success of Australia.

[@icey35]

40:30 - The standard boomer "but muh 12% interest rates in 1991" argument, as if 12% of a 3x single income mortgage is even remotely comparable to 5% on 10x a two earner household income mortgage. Come on guys, you're not that dumb, don't act like we are.

[@nytm3559]

hi john, good to hear that you are back to politics rather than to have a luxury lobbyist life with ccp's money.

[@shaneemanuelle6243]

I’d be interested to know what the two Johns would think about some sort of coalition against China that includes nations like Australia, Vietnam, Japan, India, and even Russia.

[@hayekfriedman9078]

Cricket reference snuck-in in under an hour. Well done!!

[@ronti2492]

John Howard's middle name says it all- Winston. Mr '18 percent' came back from the almost political dead, never gave up, never quit, and persisted, just like his namesake.

[@DouglasHPlumb]

A free society would not have a department of health. Doctors would be allowed to be doctors rather than ahents of public policy. Germ theory is an article of faith not a fact of science. Terrain theory has been suppressed.

[@md8590]

I like John, but just want to say, who cares if China is authoritarian, that system works for them. Let's maintain good friendly business relations with China and keep our existing military alliances healthy and seperate from our economic partnerships (if the USA allows us to)

[@harrybarber4391]

Excellent

[@hayekfriedman9078]

John, Sky News tells us that you are considering a return to politics. Please. Please. Do so. I'd campaign for you in a heartbeat.

[@australiasindustrialage689]

Excellent discussion with some common sense, I agree, though we draw people from all parts of globe, we should unite behind common values, Australia should have one flag, not be a federation of cultures.

[@malhenning1608]

thanks for recognising that fixed asset prices are hidden inflation

[@AlI-zk6em]

Too much of unjustified praise makes me take all the words this gentleman says with a grain of salt, especially on how he described Australia handled covid. This country implemented the most draconian measures towards its citizens. For a more balanced overview of covid in Australia, one should refer to the interview with Jordan Peterson and John Anderson

[@zel3888]

The issue with the French submarines wasn't just that they were contracting on a submarine design that had yet to be built in France ... it was also that they were basing it on an original French nuclear design but asking the French to transpose that to an diesel-electric design for Australia. So in effect - a completely different submarine.

[@AnthonyTolhurst-dw1nc]

The LAST Prime Minister with any nouse. The idiots’ parade since 2007 leaves much to be disgusted with; Elbow and Bowen being a class act. 😢

[@Andrew-mv2qb]

I miss level headed thinking

[@Roadrunnerz45]

35:00 - inflation has now come back very strongly. and we need to get on top of it. wages have not increased except for the top end so most people are as a result going backward.

[@mrj3nk044]

Note the tendency of both speakers to frame topics like 'our oil', 'our income', 'our exports', 'our resources' etc in nationalist-collective terms. This is collectivism with a disregard for private property- its in name only. You own nothing unless the group, the nation, gives you approval to own it, to trade it, to make a profit on it or to dispose of it. They view the nation state as primary. Then they both uturn and pay lip service to the advantages of individual liberty and freedoms. A bet both ways.

[@Jopacob]

John Howard at 40.33. You were paying a higher interest rate on your Mortgage. Yes but, paying 2.5% on $500,000 is going to take longer than $250,000 at 7% at the same dollar level

[@bobbebbington5356]

I used to be John Howards biggest fan until Port Arthur happened. When they put the blame on Martin Bryant when it was blatantly obvious it was a false flag and he did not do it, I lost faith in government and the law in this country.

[@Michael_Mears]

Gun laws, little Johnny. If your lips are moving, you're telling porky pies. What a weasel.

He also nearly caused outright war in Indonesia, certainly risked civil war, you both also banned weaponry for self defence, both of which are deep disgraces you perpetually ignore.

[@pacifiststormtrooper8839]

Two things, the population at large does not has not and in my estimation will not agree that immigration is a good thing. GDP per capita has been falling for some time, congestion and overcrowding not to mention dilution of Australian culture and values, it takes time absorb an immigrant and localise them, the rate at which they are/were brought it far exceeds the countries ability to fully digest them. Secondly, inflation is non existent? Honestly? Measure it properly along with unemployment then have the debate, I think you would find from any credible pollster that for many years now the general consensus is living standards are falling and those at the bottom disproportionately feel it the most.

They talk about their high immigration and say it is great but the people have to assimilate. Well vast numbers of them just haven’t. They have come with different values and have largely maintained their own values and cultures. What was the Australian identity is now on an unassailable path to being lost.
