1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: Jonathan Kursley, US correspondenters with us ALO Jonathan Hea. 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 2: They're always good to talk to you and the listeners 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 2: on the other side of the Pacific. 4 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: And you, mate, So what's going to shut down at five? 5 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 2: Well, mate, you're going to see parks and services shut down. 6 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 2: You're going to see a whole range of government services 7 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 2: shut down. We are, as you said, less than half 8 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 2: an hour away, twenty three minutes away from a shutdown 9 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 2: coming into effect, and unless something drastic can be done 10 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 2: within the course of the next little while while, then yes, 11 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 2: will be a historic shutdown for the United States of America. 12 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 2: When it comes to things like airports, well they won't 13 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 2: completely grind to a halt, because what they are going 14 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 2: to do is airport workers and air traffic controllers they're 15 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 2: going to be deemed essential workers, so they will be 16 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 2: allowed to operate. But essentially every other federal service you're 17 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 2: looking at the military there, You're looking at issues around 18 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 2: museum staff and park staff. 19 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 3: This is going to be monstrous. 20 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: Bureaucrats right across the board are going to go without pay. 21 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 3: And this happens in America almost every six months. 22 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 2: We seem to get to this point of government shut 23 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 2: down talks looming, but this time around it has not 24 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 2: going to be averted at the eleventh hour, and we 25 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 2: are going to be going into a shutdown. Both sides 26 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 2: of politics essentially blaming each other. But at the end 27 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 2: of the day, what is going to happen is people 28 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 2: are going to wind up not having their paychecks. That's 29 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 2: going to tend the economy. We already heard the American 30 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 2: President essentially say today that if they do go down 31 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 2: this path, then he will be allowed to do things 32 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 2: that are irreversible. Now that could well mean shutting down 33 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 2: elements of government departments. It could mean down departments altogether 34 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: and laying off what he views as an overstocked bureaucracy. 35 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 2: It is going to be a fundamental next twenty four 36 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 2: hours to see how this furlough process, how this process 37 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 2: goes for those heavily involved in the federal workforce. 38 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: Was that one of the weirdest speeches ever given to 39 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: US military leaders? 40 00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 2: If you're talking about the one earlier today, that was 41 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: perhaps the most eyebrow raising speech to military leaders I 42 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 2: think I have heard in my entire journalistic career, which 43 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 2: is almost some twenty years. Pete Hegseth had called military 44 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 2: leaders generals from around the world to gather in Virginia, 45 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 2: and none of them seemed to really know what was 46 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 2: actually going to transpire. What did transpire was in a sense, 47 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 2: a Donald Trump megapolitical rally, but in front of generals 48 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 2: who didn't exactly have the same sense of humor that 49 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 2: perhaps he had. We heard Pete Hegseth, the now Secretary 50 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 2: of War saying that he did not want to have 51 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: beard os. Yes you heard that, correct, beard os not 52 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 2: weirdos in. 53 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 3: The military, and he did not want to have. 54 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 2: Fat people roaming the halls of the Pentagon. He's trying 55 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 2: to strike an image here. And then the speech from 56 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 2: the Commander in chief himself, well, it was extraordinary, ranged 57 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 2: from talking about military issues and war issues to domestic 58 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 2: issues and Joe Biden and his predecessor. There were little 59 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: laughs from the audience, and you would not have expected. 60 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: Many military generals are stifled at the best of times. 61 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 2: Perhaps the only sniggers that did come may well have 62 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: been from the President and the Secretary. 63 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 3: Of War Zone staff. It was just it was an 64 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 3: extraordinary speech. Yeah, it really was. 65 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: Now, Nicole Cadman, what's going on? 66 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 2: Here. 67 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: Has he been having an affair. 68 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 2: Well, it doesn't seem as though there's been something nefarious 69 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 2: going on, but it certainly seems as though from the 70 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 2: divorce papers that have been filed, in the reports that 71 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 2: are out through entertainment website TMC in the United States, 72 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: that he may well have found somebody else to be 73 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 2: romantically involved with, or at least somebody else to be 74 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 2: involved with. Round about thirty six hours ago we heard 75 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 2: these rumblings that there was a separation, and now you 76 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 2: know that time period on. 77 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 3: Well, it is Nicole who has filed for divorce in Nashville. 78 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 2: They're already talking about how they're going to divide up 79 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 2: their time as co parents. Nicole will get the children 80 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: three hundred and six days a year, and it seems 81 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: as though Keith will. 82 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 3: Get them for the remainder. 83 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: So read between the lines on this, and I think 84 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 2: you can see that Nicole very clearly is not very 85 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 2: happy with the situation as it is as it stands now. 86 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: Yesterday the reports that she was trying to save the marriage. 87 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 2: She wanted to salvage it. Today though it is they 88 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 2: are headed for divorce after some nineteen years or so 89 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 2: of marriage. 90 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 3: It is it stunned Hollywood? 91 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: To be honest, Heather, I mean they were seen as 92 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 2: somewhat of the Golden Couple here. It was said when 93 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,799 Speaker 2: it came to love that there was nothing like Nicole 94 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 2: and Keith. 95 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 3: And now they are headed their separate ways. 96 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 2: I mean, the divorce sadly happens to so many couples 97 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 2: right across the world, and now it's happening to one 98 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 2: of the biggest entertainment names in America. 99 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: Yeah too, right, Jonathan, Thanks very much, Jonathan Kursley, US correspondent. 100 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: I guess, I guess brace for the Daily Mail to 101 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: reveal within the next I don't know, God knows how 102 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: long it'll take them.
