Chris, 7 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: thank you for that, appreciated, Dan Mitchison, US correspondence with 8 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: US Now Hey Dan, Hey, Heather. Okay, so the security 9 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: agreement on the g S even sidelines this is a 10 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: good one, isn't it? 11 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 2: Well? I think so, I think so. I mean President 12 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 2: Zelensky appeared pretty optimistic that his country would retain the 13 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: support of the Biden administration or actually any administration, no 14 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 2: matter who the president is. I think that is going 15 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 2: to be kind of interesting because I think that is 16 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 2: a big butt here. I mean, you know, Joe Biden 17 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: makes the commitment right now, but if he's not re 18 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 2: elected in November, can that commitment be fulfilled? Will Donald 19 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 2: Trump change that if he gets into the White House? 20 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: And what's Donald Trump saying? 21 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 2: Not lot, but in the past he has said that 22 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 2: he doesn't think that this amount of money should be 23 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 2: spent over there, and while this group of seven leaders 24 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 2: reached the agreement to loan the money. And like you 25 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 2: said in World Wires, you know it's profits from all 26 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 2: these Russian investments. We know the relationship Donald Trump has 27 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 2: with Russia right now. So I think that's going to 28 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 2: play a play into this whole scenario if he gets 29 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 2: into the office in. 30 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: Noment Hey, how does Maton go with the House Republicans. 31 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's a cliche to say if I 32 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 2: was a fly on the wall, But if I was 33 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 2: a fly in the wall, I think this would have 34 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 2: been interesting. Today. It's like it was more of a 35 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 2: gripe session to tell you the truth and anything else. 36 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 2: This was the first time mister Trump had been back 37 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 2: to the Capitol campus area since he left office after 38 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 2: the riots in January of twenty twenty one, and he 39 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: held a meeting where he apparently just complained about everything 40 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 2: and anything, his legal challenges, he was attacking his critics, 41 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 2: he was attacking Taylor Swift so a House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, 42 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 2: and he warned of Republicans also not to be afraid 43 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: of of a number of hot button issues. At the 44 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 2: top of his list was abortion. He talked considerably about 45 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: Roe v. Wade, and it just seemed like there were 46 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 2: a number of moments where he went off topic and 47 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 2: it was just more of a get together with a 48 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 2: bunch of guys in a lounge, and it was a 49 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 2: formal meeting of GOP leaders. 50 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: And there is hey on Elon Musk. How long is 51 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: he going to have to waite to get his hands 52 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: on the dollars? 53 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 2: Well, that's that's a good question, because this is over 54 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: fifty I can't even say this fifty six billion dollar 55 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 2: pay package. And this was avoided by a judge a 56 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 2: few years back, but he won the backing of shareholders today. 57 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 2: In fact, he was pretty sure he was going to 58 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 2: get this and when it was announced in Austin, Texas, 59 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 2: the crowd cheered after the announcement. But the judge who 60 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 2: struck down the compensation earlier this year is likely going 61 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 2: to ask to rule again whether this vote is fair 62 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 2: under the state's business laws. And last week we had 63 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: a different shareholder here that was involved in another case. 64 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 2: He filed a new law suit arguing that the second 65 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 2: vote should be ruled invalid. So would he like to 66 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: get his hands on the money? Yeah? Does he need 67 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: it right now, he's probably doing okay. How long is 68 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 2: it going to take? I mean that's really going to 69 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: be up to the judge and how long it takes 70 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,119 Speaker 2: for this judge to rule. 71 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: I think very interesting stuff. Dan, Thanks for talking us 72 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 1: through an Enjoy your weekend, mate.
