1 00:00:06,415 --> 00:00:09,135 Speaker 1: You're listening to Amma mea podcast. 2 00:00:14,135 --> 00:00:18,334 Speaker 2: Hey, I'm Taylor Strano. This is mumumms twice daily news podcast, 3 00:00:18,415 --> 00:00:22,855 Speaker 2: The Quickie. It was a meeting nine months in the making. 4 00:00:23,255 --> 00:00:27,575 Speaker 2: Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi and US President Donald Trump 5 00:00:27,615 --> 00:00:31,135 Speaker 2: have met face to face leader to leeda at the 6 00:00:31,135 --> 00:00:35,055 Speaker 2: White House and for the most part, it went off 7 00:00:35,135 --> 00:00:36,015 Speaker 2: without a hitch. 8 00:00:36,255 --> 00:00:40,775 Speaker 3: Australians love America and I think Americans kind of like 9 00:00:40,854 --> 00:00:44,774 Speaker 3: Australia to we do. And as we go forward, I 10 00:00:44,775 --> 00:00:48,374 Speaker 3: think that today we'll be seen as a really significan 11 00:00:48,534 --> 00:00:50,254 Speaker 3: day in our relationship. 12 00:00:50,974 --> 00:00:54,175 Speaker 2: But what was actually achieved in this meeting and what 13 00:00:54,295 --> 00:00:58,335 Speaker 2: happens now? Amelia Lester has all the details, But before 14 00:00:58,335 --> 00:01:00,895 Speaker 2: we get there, here's Claire Murphy with the latest from 15 00:01:00,935 --> 00:01:04,215 Speaker 2: the Quickie newsroom for Wednesday, October twenty two. 16 00:01:04,615 --> 00:01:07,895 Speaker 4: Thanks Taylor Arras. Prosecutor says crown jewel stolen in a 17 00:01:07,975 --> 00:01:11,055 Speaker 4: dramatic weekend louver heist are worth an estimated one hundred 18 00:01:11,095 --> 00:01:14,055 Speaker 4: and fifty seven million dollars Australian, but that the monetary 19 00:01:14,135 --> 00:01:17,535 Speaker 4: estimate doesn't include their historical value to France. Around one 20 00:01:17,615 --> 00:01:20,415 Speaker 4: hundred investigators are currently involved in the police hunt for 21 00:01:20,415 --> 00:01:23,615 Speaker 4: the suspects and gems after Sundays there from the world's 22 00:01:23,615 --> 00:01:26,895 Speaker 4: most visited museum. The French prosecutors said they hope the 23 00:01:26,895 --> 00:01:29,455 Speaker 4: thieves don't break them down to sell the jewels, separately 24 00:01:29,855 --> 00:01:32,495 Speaker 4: asking them not to destroy them without rime or reason. 25 00:01:32,895 --> 00:01:36,175 Speaker 4: Questions have arisen about the Louver security and whether security 26 00:01:36,215 --> 00:01:39,455 Speaker 4: cameras might have failed after thieves rode a basket lift 27 00:01:39,575 --> 00:01:43,095 Speaker 4: up the Louvers facade, forced a window, smash display cases, 28 00:01:43,335 --> 00:01:46,655 Speaker 4: and then fled with the Napoleonic jewels on Sunday morning. However, 29 00:01:46,695 --> 00:01:49,655 Speaker 4: the French Culture Minister says the Louver security apparatus did 30 00:01:49,655 --> 00:01:52,655 Speaker 4: not fail and cameras were working, but didn't mention how 31 00:01:52,695 --> 00:01:55,575 Speaker 4: the thieves managed to carry out the heist without anyone 32 00:01:55,615 --> 00:01:59,375 Speaker 4: being able to intervene. US President Donald Trump is considering 33 00:01:59,455 --> 00:02:02,855 Speaker 4: fast tracking the delivery of nuclear submarines to Australia after 34 00:02:02,895 --> 00:02:06,175 Speaker 4: his successful meeting with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese this week. 35 00:02:06,455 --> 00:02:08,975 Speaker 4: The meeting could lay the groundwork for the President to 36 00:02:08,975 --> 00:02:12,215 Speaker 4: pull additional levers to speed up Australia's acquisition of nuclear 37 00:02:12,215 --> 00:02:14,935 Speaker 4: powered submarines, the first of which it will buy from 38 00:02:14,935 --> 00:02:18,135 Speaker 4: the US early next decade. Asked if the submarines would 39 00:02:18,135 --> 00:02:21,495 Speaker 4: be delivered to Australia, Trump replied, oh, no, they're getting them, 40 00:02:21,615 --> 00:02:24,695 Speaker 4: saying we're just going full steam ahead building and suggesting 41 00:02:24,735 --> 00:02:27,455 Speaker 4: the US might fast track delivery of the vessels without 42 00:02:27,455 --> 00:02:31,255 Speaker 4: giving any definite timeline. Some experts so are questioning whether 43 00:02:31,295 --> 00:02:33,895 Speaker 4: the timeline of the Orchest deal is viable given the 44 00:02:34,015 --> 00:02:36,975 Speaker 4: US is struggling to meet its own targets for submarine production. 45 00:02:37,735 --> 00:02:39,855 Speaker 4: Millions of ossies are being worn to brace for a 46 00:02:39,895 --> 00:02:43,775 Speaker 4: potentially record breaking October heat wave this week. Queensland, New 47 00:02:43,815 --> 00:02:46,695 Speaker 4: South Wales and South Australia have already posted their hottest 48 00:02:46,695 --> 00:02:50,215 Speaker 4: October days on record yesterday, with the Mercury hitting forty 49 00:02:50,255 --> 00:02:52,975 Speaker 4: six point one in Birdsville, forty four point eight in 50 00:02:53,055 --> 00:02:56,375 Speaker 4: Burke and forty five at Moomber Airport. Sydney is forecast 51 00:02:56,375 --> 00:02:58,495 Speaker 4: to swell to through and expected top of thirty eight 52 00:02:58,535 --> 00:03:02,415 Speaker 4: degrees today, with Newcastle hitting thirty nine and Woollongong thirty six. 53 00:03:02,855 --> 00:03:05,215 Speaker 4: Relief from the heat is expected to arrive across New 54 00:03:05,255 --> 00:03:08,174 Speaker 4: South Wales and Southern Australia on Thursday, but those in 55 00:03:08,215 --> 00:03:10,655 Speaker 4: the North won't be so lucky, with temperatures tip to 56 00:03:10,655 --> 00:03:14,415 Speaker 4: remain high on Friday and into the weekend. Meanwhile, Victorians 57 00:03:14,415 --> 00:03:16,735 Speaker 4: have been told to brace for destructive wins and a 58 00:03:16,815 --> 00:03:20,375 Speaker 4: risk of thunderstorm Masma conditions, with damaging winds forecast to 59 00:03:20,455 --> 00:03:23,575 Speaker 4: hit Victoria's west this morning, reaching the States east by 60 00:03:23,615 --> 00:03:26,735 Speaker 4: this afternoon. Captain Sam Kerr is said to make her 61 00:03:26,775 --> 00:03:30,055 Speaker 4: long awaited Matilda's return against Wales in Cardiff on Saturday 62 00:03:30,055 --> 00:03:33,935 Speaker 4: local time, before facing European champions England in Derby four 63 00:03:34,015 --> 00:03:36,495 Speaker 4: days later. The thirty two year old last played for 64 00:03:36,495 --> 00:03:40,015 Speaker 4: Australia in November twenty twenty three, having endured a twenty 65 00:03:40,095 --> 00:03:43,135 Speaker 4: month rehamb from an ACL tear she suffered in January 66 00:03:43,215 --> 00:03:46,735 Speaker 4: twenty twenty four. Kurz Matilda's teammates are determined not to 67 00:03:46,775 --> 00:03:49,775 Speaker 4: put any pressure on the superstar striker to perform as 68 00:03:49,775 --> 00:03:52,975 Speaker 4: they relish her return to the international stage, but goalkeeper 69 00:03:53,015 --> 00:03:55,975 Speaker 4: teague In Mike admits Kur's return is a confidence boost 70 00:03:56,215 --> 00:03:58,535 Speaker 4: as they start to feel both excitement and a sense 71 00:03:58,575 --> 00:04:01,255 Speaker 4: of urgency less than five months out from the Asian Cup, 72 00:04:01,575 --> 00:04:03,535 Speaker 4: saying we understand she's been out for a long time 73 00:04:03,575 --> 00:04:05,495 Speaker 4: and for us, we just really want to get her 74 00:04:05,655 --> 00:04:08,135 Speaker 4: back to it. Enjoying football and I think the goals 75 00:04:08,175 --> 00:04:09,055 Speaker 4: will just come with that. 76 00:04:09,455 --> 00:04:16,695 Speaker 2: Thanks Claire. Next, when Anthony met Donald, there was a 77 00:04:16,735 --> 00:04:21,375 Speaker 2: lot riding on Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi's visit to Washington. 78 00:04:22,095 --> 00:04:25,735 Speaker 2: After getting off relatively scott free from Trump's new tariff cover, 79 00:04:26,055 --> 00:04:30,654 Speaker 2: Australia was hoping to keep diplomatic ties strong, so when 80 00:04:30,695 --> 00:04:33,214 Speaker 2: the PM finally got the call up to the Oval Office, 81 00:04:33,335 --> 00:04:37,415 Speaker 2: there was a bit at stake politics, policy and politeness. 82 00:04:38,335 --> 00:04:40,735 Speaker 2: After all, we didn't want to repeat of when the 83 00:04:40,775 --> 00:04:43,695 Speaker 2: South African president visited Trump earlier this year. 84 00:04:43,815 --> 00:04:45,775 Speaker 3: Would allow them. 85 00:04:45,735 --> 00:04:46,575 Speaker 1: To take land? 86 00:04:46,975 --> 00:04:48,935 Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, do allow them to take. 87 00:04:49,295 --> 00:04:52,255 Speaker 1: Nobody can take where they take the land, they killed 88 00:04:52,255 --> 00:04:54,895 Speaker 1: the white farmer. And when they killed the white farmer, 89 00:04:55,295 --> 00:04:57,135 Speaker 1: nothing happens to them. 90 00:04:57,255 --> 00:05:00,535 Speaker 2: All that infamous meeting when the US President hosted Ukraine's 91 00:05:00,615 --> 00:05:02,055 Speaker 2: Vladimir Zelenski I. 92 00:05:01,975 --> 00:05:08,015 Speaker 3: Said, we gave you, through the stupid president, three hundred 93 00:05:08,055 --> 00:05:11,775 Speaker 3: and fifty billion dollars week for your military equipment. 94 00:05:12,615 --> 00:05:15,215 Speaker 2: So in an effort to avoid addressing down from the 95 00:05:15,295 --> 00:05:19,455 Speaker 2: leader of the free world, one must come prepared. Luckily, 96 00:05:19,935 --> 00:05:23,815 Speaker 2: albows tacked was different. We know Trump loves a deal. 97 00:05:23,975 --> 00:05:26,295 Speaker 2: In fact, he wrote a whole book about it. So 98 00:05:26,495 --> 00:05:28,935 Speaker 2: with that knowledge in his back pocket, our leader came 99 00:05:28,975 --> 00:05:31,975 Speaker 2: bearing gifts in the form of a rare earth steal, 100 00:05:32,735 --> 00:05:35,815 Speaker 2: both men having to the eight point three billion US 101 00:05:35,855 --> 00:05:38,935 Speaker 2: dollar deal, meaning Australia will speed up its delivery of 102 00:05:39,015 --> 00:05:42,375 Speaker 2: rare metals to the US and in return, our production 103 00:05:42,455 --> 00:05:46,495 Speaker 2: and processing industries will be rapidly scaled. At the moment, 104 00:05:46,535 --> 00:05:50,415 Speaker 2: Australia is the fourth largest producer of rare earth minerals, 105 00:05:50,495 --> 00:05:53,455 Speaker 2: so this deal will help US rise to challenge China's 106 00:05:53,455 --> 00:05:56,775 Speaker 2: dominance on the market. The other thing weighing on Australia's 107 00:05:56,815 --> 00:06:00,815 Speaker 2: diplomatic mind heading into the meeting is, of course Orcis. 108 00:06:01,375 --> 00:06:04,175 Speaker 2: Earlier this year, the Pentagon announced a review into the 109 00:06:04,215 --> 00:06:07,534 Speaker 2: pact made between a Street, the United States and the 110 00:06:07,655 --> 00:06:11,935 Speaker 2: United Kingdom, just checking on their investment. But despite the 111 00:06:11,975 --> 00:06:15,335 Speaker 2: ongoing review, Trump's given Orcus a thumbs up. We're giving 112 00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:18,375 Speaker 2: the US billions of dollars and in return, well, we're 113 00:06:18,415 --> 00:06:21,654 Speaker 2: still under review, but with a recommitment to being delivered 114 00:06:21,655 --> 00:06:27,535 Speaker 2: at three submarines. Right, So, rare earth deal and reassurance 115 00:06:27,575 --> 00:06:31,695 Speaker 2: on Orcas, the meaning's going pretty well right now. This 116 00:06:31,735 --> 00:06:34,695 Speaker 2: would have been a home run, except Kevin Rudd was 117 00:06:34,735 --> 00:06:38,294 Speaker 2: in the room. And if you're thinking, but Taylor, former 118 00:06:38,295 --> 00:06:41,414 Speaker 2: Prime Minister k Rudd is the Australian ambassador to the US, 119 00:06:41,535 --> 00:06:45,294 Speaker 2: why wouldn't he be there. Isn't that a good thing? Well? 120 00:06:45,975 --> 00:06:48,135 Speaker 2: Trump had some strong words to say. 121 00:06:48,855 --> 00:06:53,094 Speaker 3: I don't like you either, and it probably never will. 122 00:06:53,935 --> 00:06:56,214 Speaker 2: Now. Look, that's pretty brutal on its own. The leader 123 00:06:56,255 --> 00:06:59,055 Speaker 2: of the United States has personally called you out. The 124 00:06:59,095 --> 00:07:01,414 Speaker 2: only thing that could make it worse is if Kevin 125 00:07:01,455 --> 00:07:05,055 Speaker 2: Rudd was being torn down to his face, which he was. 126 00:07:06,015 --> 00:07:08,255 Speaker 2: This all comes off the back of Rudd's now deleted 127 00:07:08,295 --> 00:07:12,455 Speaker 2: tweets criticizing Donald Trump to give us a full debrief 128 00:07:12,535 --> 00:07:15,415 Speaker 2: on all things Elbow Trump meeting. We are joined by 129 00:07:15,495 --> 00:07:20,415 Speaker 2: mummum is US correspondent Emelia Lester. Amelia who came off 130 00:07:20,455 --> 00:07:22,775 Speaker 2: best in this meeting. Would you say it was a 131 00:07:22,775 --> 00:07:24,055 Speaker 2: win for both leaders? 132 00:07:24,295 --> 00:07:27,895 Speaker 1: I think that both can feel like they got a 133 00:07:27,895 --> 00:07:31,415 Speaker 1: bit of what they wanted. So Trump got critical minerals, 134 00:07:31,415 --> 00:07:33,495 Speaker 1: which is his favorite thing. It's been very much a 135 00:07:33,535 --> 00:07:36,735 Speaker 1: through line of his foreign policy. Peace steal Satara threats. 136 00:07:36,775 --> 00:07:39,535 Speaker 1: What he wants to do is secure more critical minerals 137 00:07:39,575 --> 00:07:42,775 Speaker 1: for the US to break China's monopoly, so he got 138 00:07:42,775 --> 00:07:47,935 Speaker 1: some critical minerals. From Albanizi's perspective, I think his biggest 139 00:07:47,935 --> 00:07:50,895 Speaker 1: win was being able to confirm that Orcus is safe 140 00:07:50,935 --> 00:07:54,175 Speaker 1: for now. And Trump did make a commitment that the 141 00:07:54,335 --> 00:07:57,855 Speaker 1: US would send Australia the nuclear powered submarines that are 142 00:07:57,855 --> 00:08:00,175 Speaker 1: meant to be delivered by twenty thirty two. That's been 143 00:08:00,215 --> 00:08:01,295 Speaker 1: in doubt a lot lately. 144 00:08:01,575 --> 00:08:03,815 Speaker 2: Asigh of relief for US. It is still safe. However, 145 00:08:03,855 --> 00:08:06,455 Speaker 2: it is still subject to a Penn review. He didn't 146 00:08:06,495 --> 00:08:07,615 Speaker 2: make any mention of that. 147 00:08:07,935 --> 00:08:11,055 Speaker 1: I don't think he knows that a Pentagon review is happening, Taylor, 148 00:08:11,135 --> 00:08:13,615 Speaker 1: But yeah, I agree that we can't say that it's 149 00:08:13,655 --> 00:08:17,055 Speaker 1: like safe forever. That Pentagon review, led by Elbridge Colby, 150 00:08:17,095 --> 00:08:20,295 Speaker 1: who is a very influential isolationist voice in the Trump regime, 151 00:08:20,495 --> 00:08:24,255 Speaker 1: is still going on. I think in Trump's vibespace foreign policy, 152 00:08:24,295 --> 00:08:27,535 Speaker 1: he's feeling warmly towards Australia, and he's going to feel 153 00:08:27,535 --> 00:08:30,175 Speaker 1: even more warmly now that he has access to West 154 00:08:30,175 --> 00:08:33,815 Speaker 1: Australia's gallium reserves. Gallium is a critical mineral that I 155 00:08:33,855 --> 00:08:36,455 Speaker 1: had to look up today. Is used in led devices 156 00:08:36,495 --> 00:08:37,295 Speaker 1: and smartphones. 157 00:08:37,855 --> 00:08:40,895 Speaker 2: So yeah, some of those outcomes obviously good for both leaders. 158 00:08:40,975 --> 00:08:44,415 Speaker 2: The Rare Earth and Critical Minerals deal, it feels like 159 00:08:44,535 --> 00:08:48,335 Speaker 2: that is in part good as part of Trump's America 160 00:08:48,415 --> 00:08:51,495 Speaker 2: First agenda, But we've also sort of benefited from it. 161 00:08:51,575 --> 00:08:52,135 Speaker 1: Right, We're going to. 162 00:08:52,135 --> 00:08:55,415 Speaker 2: Get this huge cash injection, the industry is going to scale. 163 00:08:55,935 --> 00:08:58,375 Speaker 2: Do you feel like though we've just benefited as a 164 00:08:58,375 --> 00:09:00,575 Speaker 2: bit of a side effect of Trump really just wanting 165 00:09:00,615 --> 00:09:01,975 Speaker 2: to stick it to China a little bit? 166 00:09:02,495 --> 00:09:04,574 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Trump does want to stick it to China. 167 00:09:04,655 --> 00:09:08,495 Speaker 1: I found Arthurs Sinadinus's criticism that China won't like this 168 00:09:08,655 --> 00:09:10,815 Speaker 1: kind of beside the point. The whole point is that 169 00:09:10,895 --> 00:09:13,335 Speaker 1: China won't like this. China is not surprised that the 170 00:09:13,455 --> 00:09:15,735 Speaker 1: US is doing it. China has been cracking down on 171 00:09:15,775 --> 00:09:18,055 Speaker 1: its export controls for critical minerals, so none of this 172 00:09:18,215 --> 00:09:21,055 Speaker 1: is completely out of the blue. On the United States side, 173 00:09:21,135 --> 00:09:22,895 Speaker 1: what I would say about this deal and why it 174 00:09:22,895 --> 00:09:25,215 Speaker 1: gives me a little bit of pause, is, yes, the 175 00:09:25,335 --> 00:09:28,655 Speaker 1: US is investing in Australian mining, which I suppose is 176 00:09:28,695 --> 00:09:32,215 Speaker 1: a win for the mining industry, but Australia in return 177 00:09:32,375 --> 00:09:36,295 Speaker 1: has to invest in US defense contractors. It's not just 178 00:09:36,375 --> 00:09:40,015 Speaker 1: simply going one way the investment, and so Australia is 179 00:09:40,054 --> 00:09:43,895 Speaker 1: further tethering itself to the American military industrial complex and 180 00:09:43,935 --> 00:09:47,295 Speaker 1: spending a lot of money to essentially get a guarantee 181 00:09:47,375 --> 00:09:50,535 Speaker 1: of ORCUS something that is meant to happen down the line. 182 00:09:50,735 --> 00:09:54,055 Speaker 2: Now, it can't all be friendly and tension free. Obviously, 183 00:09:54,095 --> 00:09:56,855 Speaker 2: there was a moment there where Trump expressed some feelings 184 00:09:56,895 --> 00:10:00,615 Speaker 2: about Kevin Rudd returning the favor forsm now deleted posts 185 00:10:00,655 --> 00:10:05,015 Speaker 2: on the X platform. Rudd since apologized, though after the 186 00:10:05,135 --> 00:10:08,095 Speaker 2: meeting sort of wrapped up, he was seen apologizing to Trump. 187 00:10:08,095 --> 00:10:11,695 Speaker 2: Pigs at all was forgiven. Penny Wong has brushed this 188 00:10:11,775 --> 00:10:14,375 Speaker 2: off our foreign minister as sort of tongue in cheek 189 00:10:14,415 --> 00:10:17,335 Speaker 2: and a little bit playful. How much does Rudd actually 190 00:10:17,415 --> 00:10:20,415 Speaker 2: matter in terms of Australia US relations. He is our 191 00:10:20,455 --> 00:10:23,335 Speaker 2: ambassador over there and it's clear that he and Trump 192 00:10:23,455 --> 00:10:25,775 Speaker 2: don't like each other. Should we be worried about that? 193 00:10:26,335 --> 00:10:29,615 Speaker 1: Look, I think it's not ideal. I think Trump runs 194 00:10:29,655 --> 00:10:33,895 Speaker 1: a very personality driven foreign policy. He feels very influenced 195 00:10:33,895 --> 00:10:36,334 Speaker 1: by the last person he spoke to. He feels very 196 00:10:36,415 --> 00:10:39,935 Speaker 1: influenced by people who he thinks are sufficiently respectful and 197 00:10:39,975 --> 00:10:43,814 Speaker 1: deferential to him. I don't think it's ideal that Australia's 198 00:10:43,855 --> 00:10:47,295 Speaker 1: person in Washington is someone who Trump said today that 199 00:10:47,455 --> 00:10:49,615 Speaker 1: he does not like Amelia. 200 00:10:49,655 --> 00:10:51,895 Speaker 2: What have some of the other reactions been to this 201 00:10:51,975 --> 00:10:54,455 Speaker 2: meeting as a whole. We've hailed it a success, the 202 00:10:54,535 --> 00:10:57,015 Speaker 2: US have hailed it as success. Is that sort of 203 00:10:57,095 --> 00:10:57,775 Speaker 2: the going rate? 204 00:10:58,375 --> 00:11:00,895 Speaker 1: I just don't know whether this is the slam dunk 205 00:11:00,975 --> 00:11:04,655 Speaker 1: success that the Australian media is portraying it as. Yes, 206 00:11:04,855 --> 00:11:08,495 Speaker 1: the U aware is putting a huge cash influx into 207 00:11:08,655 --> 00:11:12,815 Speaker 1: Australian critical mineral mining, but on the other hand, there's 208 00:11:12,855 --> 00:11:14,975 Speaker 1: no such thing as a free lanch. Trump is really 209 00:11:15,054 --> 00:11:17,335 Speaker 1: good at driving a hard bargain and getting what he 210 00:11:17,415 --> 00:11:19,775 Speaker 1: wants for the most powerful, rich country in the world. 211 00:11:19,895 --> 00:11:22,934 Speaker 2: All right, Amelia, where to from here? Then? Who knows? 212 00:11:22,935 --> 00:11:25,815 Speaker 2: If it'll be another nine months before Albanese and Trump meet. 213 00:11:26,054 --> 00:11:27,895 Speaker 2: What should the focus be going out. 214 00:11:27,735 --> 00:11:31,214 Speaker 1: Of this meeting? I think Australia continues to watch this 215 00:11:31,495 --> 00:11:35,415 Speaker 1: Pentagon review of ORCUS. The national security establishment in Australia 216 00:11:35,535 --> 00:11:38,175 Speaker 1: very much wants that to work, but it's still unclear 217 00:11:38,215 --> 00:11:40,775 Speaker 1: who's going to win the day. Which camp in the Pentagon. 218 00:11:40,815 --> 00:11:44,655 Speaker 1: You've got the isolationists, You've got the China hawks. Today, interestingly, 219 00:11:44,695 --> 00:11:47,255 Speaker 1: Trump wanted to downplay the China threat. He said that 220 00:11:47,455 --> 00:11:49,815 Speaker 1: he didn't think we'd see much trouble from them. That 221 00:11:49,935 --> 00:11:53,015 Speaker 1: suggests to me that right now he's listening to isolationists 222 00:11:53,015 --> 00:11:55,455 Speaker 1: in the Pentagon, and it suggests that Orcus could be 223 00:11:55,535 --> 00:11:57,935 Speaker 1: in danger if those voices ultimately went out. 224 00:11:59,215 --> 00:12:01,295 Speaker 2: Thanks for taking some time to feed your mind with 225 00:12:01,375 --> 00:12:04,255 Speaker 2: us today.
