1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Dan Mitchison US correspondence with US Hello.

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 2: Dan, Hello Heather.

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: What do we know about Pam Bondy.

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: Well, we know that she was sure nominated very quickly

5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 2: after Matt Gaez said that he was withdrawing. Ope, I mean,

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 2: I thought this was going to take a little time,

7
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: and then about two hours later, boom, Trump announced her

8
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 2: as his new choice. And she had served as Florida's

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: attorney general. Big Trumper Trump says, she's really big against

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: trafficking and the drug issue down there, and she had

11
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 2: worked on the commission focusing on any opioid crisis. And

12
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 2: you know, she was also involved in the efforts to

13
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: overturn the results back in twenty twenty and she said,

14
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: you know that the whole election thing was rigged and

15
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 2: he won Pennsylvania. So definitely somebody that I think Donald

16
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: Trump will get along with. And interesting that after this

17
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: stuff with Gates came out a couple of days ago,

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 2: you know, you started seeing the smoke and then boom,

19
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, today it was all about the fire. Now.

20
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 3: The fact that it was announced that she was announced

21
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 3: so soon after at gates withdrawals suggests that Matt Gates

22
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 3: was was either pushed out or had come to that

23
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 3: conclusion with Trump.

24
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think so. I think they saw

25
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: the handwriting on the wall. And you know, Trump issued

26
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 2: a statement on his social media site shortly after, saying,

27
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: you know, he's he's a great guy. He looks forward

28
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 2: to seeing what Gates is going to do in the future.

29
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: But you know, he was putting the party over his

30
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 2: personal opportunity. And yeah, I just think that with all

31
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 2: these accusations that we're coming out and I'm sure we're

32
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: going to have more in the future too, they thought

33
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: this is gonna this is going to take away too much,

34
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: and we just got to get somebody new on there.

35
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: Is she gonna?

36
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: I mean, being quite a few of his appointments have

37
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 3: been pretty controversial and have raised some eyebrows.

38
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: How about her?

39
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think she is. I think we're going to

40
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: see a lot more too. I mean, every every time

41
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: you get a new president, and there's usually one or

42
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: two people that that sort of raise a few eyebrows

43
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: or sometimes have to step aside because of their their past.

44
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: With Donald Trump, sometimes we see a few more of

45
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,639
Speaker 2: those people, and we'll likely see a few more between

46
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: now and next January.

47
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: Now, Ellen degenerous, she's left the country already.

48
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: I well, you know, it's interesting because she lives in Monacito,

49
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: which is this flashy part everybody in Hollywood seems to

50
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: own a place. It's about ninety miles north of Los Angeles.

51
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 2: And she had said that, you know, if Donald Trump

52
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 2: wins the election, I'm out of here. Apparently she's made

53
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 2: the move already to the Cotswolds, which is in south

54
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: central England. She's her listing her place in Montcito that

55
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: she bought back in twenty nineteen. And you've got a

56
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: slew of other celebrities. I think Sharon Stone was another

57
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: one cher who have said, hey, we want to leave

58
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: this country following the election. But I'll tell you what, Heather,

59
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 2: nobody does really, or very few people do. I mean,

60
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: it's all talk and nobody holds them accountable. When you're like,

61
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: well hold it, wait a minute, you're still here three

62
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: years later. Yeah?

63
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 3: No, Ellen, though, I've got questions about this because you know,

64
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: I mean, when was your election. Wasn't it only two

65
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 3: weeks ago?

66
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: Wasn't it three?

67
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah it was, it was it was just a

68
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago.

69
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. Cama and she.

70
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 3: Didn't buy the house and the Cotswolds in the last

71
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 3: three weeks, did she No?

72
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: No, I think she's one of I think she's been

73
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: thinking about this ever since her her career got sidetracked

74
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: and she did this Netflix special and saying, hey, nobody

75
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: wants to hire me anymore. I think this is just

76
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: her way of getting out of the country and getting

77
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,839
Speaker 2: out of the limelight. But it sounds good because she's

78
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: very much to the left and as we know, mister

79
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: Trump's very much to the right.

80
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 3: Yep, it's a good yarn, but it's probably not accurate. Hey,

81
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 3: so you guys aren't loving being at work, are you?

82
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: Well?

83
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 2: Hold it now now when you say you guys, there

84
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: is this poll right now, Yeah, and it finds that

85
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: a third of employees, only a third are engaged. Now

86
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: when you look at it, when you take the global

87
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: view right here, there's only about twenty seven twenty eight

88
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: percent of people who say that they're happy with where

89
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: they are, only nineteen percent. So they're satisfied in the

90
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: place they work. So look around your studio right now.

91
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: Count yourself, Count your producer, count your text director. One

92
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: out of three of you is not engaged and with this,

93
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: I wasn't going to say as.

94
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: It could be the German, it could be the German.

95
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, no, can't possibly be her.

96
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: Germans never do anything pie, They're always excellent. She's playing

97
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: her phone, he says, no, it's her.

98
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so we've found out we've found out one

99
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: third who's yours.

100
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know a lot of people would point

101
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: the finger at me, I suppose, but so I guess.

102
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: But you know, it's funny because we get these polls

103
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 2: all the time, and I guess more and more too,

104
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: especially since the pandemic. They're saying that people aren't happy

105
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: because they're not getting the recognition for the work that

106
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 2: they do, and others say that they have a supervisor,

107
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 2: a coworker who don't care about them at work. So

108
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: I think what this poll is finding is that workers

109
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: who are engaged for a number of reasons find that, hey,

110
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: we're going to do that if if if it's if

111
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 2: we're getting the recognition that we want right now, if

112
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: it's a well being to us as well as to

113
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: the company.

114
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I suppose it's probably sure. Hey, Dan, thank you,

115
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: I appreciated. Good luck with getting your engagement up. That's
