In this conversation, Katter reveals how he brought down Prime Minister Julia Gillard over the live cattle export ban, explains why he left the National Party, Australia's problem with selling out, rise of One Nation and details the structural collapse he's witnessed across rural Australia. He discusses the deregulation that decimated sugar, dairy, tobacco and other agricultural sectors, and why he believes politicians today simply won't govern.

Bob Katter on Taking Down Prime Ministers, 50 years in politics & Australia Selling Itself Out

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/ff1eb192-2bb7-43f0-b6ee-b419000a86b5/transcript

John Kiriakou is a former CIA counterterrorism officer and the only intelligence official to blow the whistle on America’s torture program and ultimately pay the price with prison time.

In this revealing conversation, Kiriakou takes us inside the world of spy recruitment, from spotting targets at diplomatic parties to the devastating personal costs of intelligence work. He explains how a childhood fascination with the Middle East led to a 15-year CIA career, his role in capturing high-value Al-Qaeda targets after 9/11, and the moral reckoning that changed everything. We also explore his analysis of current geopolitical tensions, from Iran’s nuclear program to the growing risks of escalation in the Middle East. 

We also spoke about:
How the CIA recruits spies using the "spot, assess, develop, recruit" cycle
The personal cost of counterterrorism work — losing his marriage after being targeted by Greek terrorists
Leading the capture of Abu Zubaydah and witnessing the birth of America's torture programme
Why he became the sole CIA officer to publicly oppose enhanced interrogation techniques
His 23-month prison sentence for revealing torture to the American public
Analysis of current Middle East tensions and the intelligence behind Iran policy
Media manipulation and finding reliable sources in an age of disinformation
