The Karl Stefanovic Show

Did we get COVID wrong?
Karl sits down with Gerard Rennick for a deep dive into vaccine mandates, mRNA science, lockdown decisions, Net Zero, and the growing distrust in Australia’s institutions.
From COVID regret to climate change skepticism, this is a long-form conversation about power, policy and the future of the country.

The death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes – better known as El Mencho – has triggered a dangerous global power vacuum. But what happens next could directly impact Australia.
Crime expert Chris Dalby joins The Karl Stefanovic Show to reveal why Australia has become a prime target for Mexican cartels, how narco submarines are crossing the Pacific undetected and why Mexico’s escalating military response may make the crisis worse.
On this episode of The Karl Stefanovic Show, Chris delves into:
Why Australia is now a ‘dream destination for cartels

The narco subs already heading for Australian shores

How corrupt politicians are controlled through terror

Why Australia’s meth crisis is tied to Mexican cartels

The global consequences of El Mencho’s death

How social media turned cartel bosses into celebrities

This isn’t just Mexico’s problem anymore.

Do ISIS brides deserve help to return to Australia?Should the Prime Minister take responsibility for Bondi?And are Australians who support One Nation really a “dark force”?Karl sits down with the Prime Minister for one of the most direct interviews of the year — challenging him on:• Whether Section 14 should be used to keep ISIS brides out of Australia
• Claims Australia is assisting returning women with schooling and resettlement
• The Andrew Mountbatten case and alleged crimes against an Australian citizen
• Trust in leadership and whether Australians believe the government understands how tough things are right now
• The cost of living crisis — and who owns it
• The Bondi attack and political responsibility
• The backlash after calling One Nation a “dark force”
• Whether frustrated voters are “far right” — or just fed up

Karl Stefanovic sits down with Big Chocky and Sam Bamford from 2WorldsCollide for a raw, unfiltered political conversation.
From Prince Andrew and the redacted Epstein files to ISIS brides, immigration policy and the radicalisation debate — they ask whether Australia has gone soft, and who’s accountable for where we are now.
They also unpack Pauline Hanson’s controversial comments, Anthony Albanese’s political strategy, the fallout from Bondi and why many believe Victoria is in serious trouble.
Plus — has the definition of “far right” shifted so far that ordinary views are now labelled extreme?
A big episode. A big conversation.
