It's 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 2: been fascinating because they've trucked in a number of people. 7 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 2: The hockey team was one, gave the Presidential Freedom Medal 8 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 2: to one of the members of that. He's trotted in 9 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 2: other people and identified them, and the audience and the 10 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 2: House has stood up. The Republican side of their house 11 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 2: were like yo, yo's up and down throughout the speech, 12 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 2: applauding this wonderful man, but being Donald Trump, it was 13 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,639 Speaker 2: more about the great things he's done since he's been 14 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 2: given the job for a second time ever. Listened to 15 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 2: this man who is so clearly proud of himself. 16 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 3: What a difference a president makes. A short time ago 17 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 3: we were a dead country. Now we are the high 18 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 3: This country anywhere in the world that is our country 19 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 3: is winning again. In fact, we're winning so much that 20 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 3: we really don't know what to do about it. People 21 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 3: are asking me, please, please please, mister president. We're winning 22 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 3: too much. We can't take it anymore. We're not used 23 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 3: to winning in our country until you came along. We're 24 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 3: just always losing. But now we're winning too much. 25 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: And the big story was. 26 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 3: How Donald Trump called the economy correctly, and twenty two 27 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 3: Nobel Prize winners in economics didn't. They got it totally wrong. 28 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 3: They got it really wrong. It's saving our country. The 29 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 3: kind of money we're taking in peace protecting many of 30 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 3: the wars I settled was because of the threat of tariffs. 31 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 2: I wouldn't have been able to settle him with a 32 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 2: so he so we've helped him with our tariffs, solving 33 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: the wolves that he solved. 34 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: I'm quite sure, Berry. I just want to board you. 35 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 4: No, I want to take a moment to applaud you, 36 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 4: because you know you. You have chosen to respond to 37 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 4: the speech with laughter all the ways, which I think 38 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,279 Speaker 4: is a healthier response than the usual rage. 39 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 2: Honestly, psychologically, can't get over a man who stands up 40 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 2: there and beats his own chest says I'm the best 41 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: thing that ever happened. 42 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: To this warry. There are some there are there are 43 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: some corporate courses that would encourage you to reflect on 44 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: whether what is what is triggering about his behavior is 45 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: perhaps something that you find irritating in your own self. 46 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: I mean, no, look, there is some there are some 47 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: there is some theory about that that I think you. 48 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 2: Could possibly get that mind. What do you make of 49 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 2: these road rule changes? Well, I think some of them 50 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,399 Speaker 2: are very good. I'm surprised that parents worry about their 51 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 2: little kids riding their bikes on the footpaths. I mean, 52 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 2: you know that you couldn't put them on the road 53 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 2: when they're young. 54 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: No, parents don't worry about it. 55 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 2: Some of them don't know about it that it's illegal 56 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 2: to be on the on the footpoint. 57 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: No, we do know that. Well just ignore it. 58 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: Well, yes we do. But they're going to make it 59 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 2: so that it isn't illegal, and I think that's great. 60 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 2: You know, there are a number of things that are 61 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 2: out there now for discussion and you can make submissions 62 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 2: on it. Are the things that really annoy you buses 63 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 2: pulling out in front of you while there's going to 64 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 2: be changed to the law apparently if we'll agree to it, 65 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 2: that to give a bit of space and give the bus. 66 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: The right away where they where they are. 67 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, so it will clarify a lot of the law. 68 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: And there's you know, there are plenty of laws on 69 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 2: the statute books that we we don't adhere to and 70 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 2: don't know about. And this hopefully will clarify what you 71 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: can and can't do on the road. 72 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: Now, what is what is the what's going on with 73 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: rough sleepers for you today? 74 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: We'll see that immediately twigged to me the new rules 75 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 2: and the foot paths that you can have bicycles on 76 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 2: the footpaths, so you'll be able to once the rough 77 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 2: sleepers are gone, much more comfort riding down the street. 78 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: But sound like more of an entitled boomer right now. 79 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 2: No, no, no, excuse me.
