1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast

2
00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,453
Speaker 1: from News Talks.

3
00:00:11,453 --> 00:00:14,693
Speaker 2: A'd be Elon Musk might have a new job in

4
00:00:14,733 --> 00:00:17,613
Speaker 2: a few months, as though he needs onef Donald Trump

5
00:00:17,893 --> 00:00:21,453
Speaker 2: wins the presidency. Our textbook Paul Stenhouse is here with

6
00:00:21,533 --> 00:00:25,213
Speaker 2: the details. Paul, what gig does Elon maybe have?

7
00:00:25,733 --> 00:00:27,413
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just trying to count them up. He's got

8
00:00:27,613 --> 00:00:32,013
Speaker 3: X formerly Twitter, SpaceX Tesla and that's just kind of

9
00:00:32,013 --> 00:00:32,693
Speaker 3: the big ones.

10
00:00:32,813 --> 00:00:33,173
Speaker 2: Yeah.

11
00:00:33,213 --> 00:00:35,893
Speaker 3: So now he could also be heading up a committee,

12
00:00:36,293 --> 00:00:40,373
Speaker 3: a federal government committee to audit the federal government.

13
00:00:40,973 --> 00:00:42,733
Speaker 2: Oh okay, how would that work?

14
00:00:42,853 --> 00:00:46,413
Speaker 3: If I could pick any job for Elon Musk to

15
00:00:46,453 --> 00:00:51,013
Speaker 3: help the federal government with a committee to audit what

16
00:00:51,373 --> 00:00:54,533
Speaker 3: apparently is going to be about fraud and improper payments,

17
00:00:54,653 --> 00:00:57,373
Speaker 3: would not be it. But that's all we know so far.

18
00:00:57,533 --> 00:01:00,013
Speaker 3: So Donald Trump has said that he's going to Elon

19
00:01:00,173 --> 00:01:03,573
Speaker 3: is happy to take on this role, and they The

20
00:01:03,653 --> 00:01:06,133
Speaker 3: only thing we really know is that within the first

21
00:01:06,173 --> 00:01:09,133
Speaker 3: six months they are going to develop a plan to

22
00:01:09,213 --> 00:01:12,893
Speaker 3: eliminate fraud and improper payments. But that's it. And I

23
00:01:13,053 --> 00:01:16,533
Speaker 3: do think that there are probably some really interesting things

24
00:01:16,533 --> 00:01:19,773
Speaker 3: that he could work on, Like you know, improving the

25
00:01:19,933 --> 00:01:23,413
Speaker 3: online services, for example, of the government. I would put

26
00:01:23,493 --> 00:01:25,293
Speaker 3: him straight into something like that. Wouldn't it be nice

27
00:01:25,293 --> 00:01:28,133
Speaker 3: if you could, you know, do your taxes online in

28
00:01:28,173 --> 00:01:30,573
Speaker 3: a really simple way instead of it being an absolutely

29
00:01:30,653 --> 00:01:33,893
Speaker 3: horrible process. But I can I point out one thing, Jack,

30
00:01:33,973 --> 00:01:36,933
Speaker 3: for those who may not know, you know, Donald Trump's

31
00:01:36,933 --> 00:01:41,293
Speaker 3: make America Great Again came from Ronald Reagan, who also

32
00:01:41,453 --> 00:01:45,653
Speaker 3: happened to have a thing and audit committee during the

33
00:01:45,693 --> 00:01:48,453
Speaker 3: eighties called the Grace Commission. Ah, so it is yet

34
00:01:48,533 --> 00:01:51,533
Speaker 3: another Donald Trump Ronald Reagan parallel.

35
00:01:51,653 --> 00:01:55,213
Speaker 2: I about to see, Well, you know, it might be

36
00:01:55,213 --> 00:01:59,293
Speaker 2: a parallel in name, but I think the differing qualities

37
00:01:59,333 --> 00:02:03,653
Speaker 2: between the two men. Anyway, Hey, Apple's support for USB

38
00:02:03,853 --> 00:02:06,293
Speaker 2: A could be ending soon. Apple's got its big law

39
00:02:06,533 --> 00:02:07,493
Speaker 2: jeven coming up right.

40
00:02:08,013 --> 00:02:10,733
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so the chance of us getting a new

41
00:02:10,773 --> 00:02:16,453
Speaker 3: iPhone is about ninety nine point nine percent. So let's

42
00:02:16,493 --> 00:02:18,933
Speaker 3: just wait until we see what that looks like. But yeah,

43
00:02:18,933 --> 00:02:22,133
Speaker 3: I'm interested in the Mac Mini because the reporting is

44
00:02:22,133 --> 00:02:25,213
Speaker 3: is that USB A support could be being dropped from

45
00:02:25,213 --> 00:02:29,573
Speaker 3: the Mac Mini, which doesn't seem kind of like a

46
00:02:29,693 --> 00:02:32,653
Speaker 3: hugely interesting thing on the surface. But the Mac Mini

47
00:02:32,733 --> 00:02:35,453
Speaker 3: really hasn't changed a lot since it was released. In fact,

48
00:02:35,453 --> 00:02:38,453
Speaker 3: it's still basically got the same form factor. And so

49
00:02:38,533 --> 00:02:41,173
Speaker 3: the fact that they're now started a form factory like

50
00:02:41,213 --> 00:02:46,053
Speaker 3: it's it's sorry, it's look, it's yeah, it's yeah. And

51
00:02:46,093 --> 00:02:48,093
Speaker 3: so the fact that they're now taking something away from

52
00:02:48,133 --> 00:02:52,173
Speaker 3: it makes me think that maybe USB A is just done.

53
00:02:52,253 --> 00:02:55,173
Speaker 3: And I think that's good because I don't know how

54
00:02:55,213 --> 00:02:58,413
Speaker 3: many times I've had to crawl under things, around things

55
00:02:58,693 --> 00:03:00,933
Speaker 3: to try to work out which way the plug is

56
00:03:00,933 --> 00:03:02,613
Speaker 3: supposed to go. You put it in the first time,

57
00:03:02,613 --> 00:03:04,653
Speaker 3: it doesn't fit. You turn around, you put it in,

58
00:03:04,733 --> 00:03:06,853
Speaker 3: it still doesn't fit. How when you turn it over

59
00:03:06,893 --> 00:03:09,293
Speaker 3: again it does fit. I don't get it. So I'm

60
00:03:09,573 --> 00:03:12,293
Speaker 3: good riddance to USB A USB C.

61
00:03:12,693 --> 00:03:13,653
Speaker 1: It's so much easier.

62
00:03:13,693 --> 00:03:17,653
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So for anyone who's confused between USB a's

63
00:03:17,693 --> 00:03:20,653
Speaker 2: and c's, A is just the like when we say USB,

64
00:03:20,893 --> 00:03:24,013
Speaker 2: that's what we think of, right, That's what we think, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

65
00:03:24,013 --> 00:03:29,293
Speaker 2: the classic. So I've got an Apple MacBook ear and

66
00:03:29,293 --> 00:03:32,013
Speaker 2: that doesn't have this that just goes yeah, that just

67
00:03:32,053 --> 00:03:34,253
Speaker 2: has the C has the new one. So I suppose

68
00:03:34,253 --> 00:03:37,093
Speaker 2: I suppose we're kind of hitting this way. Okay, Hey,

69
00:03:37,093 --> 00:03:39,253
Speaker 2: thank you very much, Paul, appreciate your time as per

70
00:03:39,613 --> 00:03:42,893

71
00:03:42,933 --> 00:03:44,613
Speaker 2: I'm going to try and slip that into my language

72
00:03:44,613 --> 00:03:47,053
Speaker 2: when I get home to the same might see my wife.

73
00:03:47,053 --> 00:03:48,573
