1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of Mind 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: for New Zealand business. Jan mentioned some UIs correspondents with 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: correspondent is with US. Hello, Dan, Hey, Heather. So why 4 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,159 Speaker 1: did she get the sick? Oh gosh, why didn't she? 5 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: I mean political liability. I think mismanage of money, like 6 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: you were just talking about one hundred and seventy something 7 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 1: million on jets, that ad campaign, personal scandals, power struggle, 8 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: immigration policies. I mean, the list is, you know, as 9 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: long as my arm right now. And it looks like 10 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: President wants a Senator Mark Waynemullen, who is from Oklahoma, 11 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: to take over a job. And she's going to be 12 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: shuffled off to something where I guess she's still going 13 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: to be collecting a pickcheck. What do we know about 14 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: this chep taking over from her? Trump supporter, a Republican 15 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: out of Middle America, very humbled about the position. He 16 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: was asked about what he thought about it, and he said, 17 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: you know, this is pretty humbling. He says, I'm a 18 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: little kid from West bill Oklahoma, and he says, I 19 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: get to serve in the president's cabinet. And he said 20 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: that's pretty neat, which is a phrase you don't hear 21 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: very often, well, at least not since the nineteen fifties 22 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: around here. So we'll see if he makes it through 23 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: the process and if he sticks around a little bit 24 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 1: longer than she did. All right, So on the war, 25 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: Donald Trump wants to say, and who takes over and around? 26 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: Does he? Well? He does. And this is going to 27 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: be interesting too, because at first we thought it was 28 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: going to be the son of the former leader. He 29 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: appeared to be the leading candidate to succeed his father, 30 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: but the President said he was quote an unacceptable choice. 31 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: And he spoke of the White House today now and 32 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: not only that, but he was thanking Israeli partners, and 33 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: he was going on again about how the US was 34 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: destroying Iran's missiles and drone capability every hour, and they 35 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: don't have a navy anymore, and they don't have an 36 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: air force defense and all their airplanes are gone. So 37 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: you know, these these quote news conferences, I think are 38 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: more of a an opportunity for him to do a 39 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: little bragging, which he you know, clearly enjoys, and I 40 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: think a lot of Republicans do. But I think there 41 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 1: are also a few that are getting a little well, 42 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: perhaps overwhelmed by the what's going on right now? What's 43 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: the feeling in the States on the ground invasion by 44 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: the Kurds. I think that's been kind of overshadowed by 45 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 1: everything else that's been going on right now. I think 46 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: that's something that's we're going to hear more of in 47 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: the in the coming days, I think. Right now, and 48 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: I hate to say this, but I really the the 49 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: party politics between the Democrats and the Republicans seem to 50 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: be taking up a lot of the time on the 51 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: local news and in print as well. It seems to 52 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: be more of the fighting going on between Republicans and 53 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: Democrats that than it is about that, which is of course, 54 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: you know, very important as well. And you know the 55 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: fact that the President has said no boots on the ground, 56 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: which I think is you know, is very important to 57 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: a lot of people over here. Yeah. Now, Brittany's be 58 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: is do we know? I mean, because we know she's 59 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: been a rected. We don't know why, but we think 60 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: it's a driving under the influence, do we Yeah, yeah, yeah. 61 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: She was arrested last night, she was released earlier this 62 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: morning here and I guess she was called in by 63 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: another driver who saw her car going all over the place. 64 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: But you know, there's been a lot of concern over her. 65 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're on social media at all, you 66 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: see these videos that she's been posting on x and Instagram, 67 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: and they show her dancing by herself. Sometimes she's dancing 68 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: with knives. Sometimes she's you know, flashing her chest out, 69 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: and it's just this never ending stream of videos and 70 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: these social media diary entries, and they're be mocked online 71 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: and people are saying, you know, she needs some help. 72 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: There's definitely something mental going on with her. In fact, 73 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: her Instagram account looks like it was taken down earlier 74 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: this morning too. But you know, things like this tend 75 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: not to have a very good ending. But let's hope 76 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: there's going to be some kind of intervention with Did 77 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: you say she's dancing with knives? Yes? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 78 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: she's she's just she's she does these weird videos where 79 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: she's she's had knives before, she's had uh, where she's 80 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: kind of like taking her top off a little bit, 81 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: you know, and kind of flashing the camera and you know, 82 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: it looks like her face is all red and the 83 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: makeup's running and she looks like she hasn't brushed her 84 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: hair in three days, and it's just it's not it's 85 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: not a good thing. Are we starting to understand why 86 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: she might have been under that conservative ship then yes, 87 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: and summer wondering if she should be back there under 88 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: that conservatorship.
