1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Damn Mitchison from the United States of America just in

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: time for the election. You get a hostage deal.

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 2: We do. And they just touched down and landed just

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 2: a short time ago at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.

5
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 2: The President was there. Vice President Kamala Harris was there.

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: Mister Biden said he was absolutely convinced he could get

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 2: the job done. And he said that, you know, the

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 2: hardest part of this, or the toughest call, was likely

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: not for the US but for the Allies, because he

10
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: asked them to do some things that were against their

11
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 2: immediate interest, particularly Germany and a couple of the other

12
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: countries that were involved in this. And he said it

13
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: basically boiled down to trust in relationships, and that's how

14
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 2: they got this done.

15
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: Very good. But I say that Trump is arguing that

16
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: Biden gives away too much when he does these deals.

17
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, as soon as this happened, he said, you know,

18
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: I could have gotten this done. And earlier in the

19
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: at the White House, you know, Joe Biden just said, okay,

20
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: well he was president, why didn't he? Which is, you know,

21
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: tooche a good point right there. I mean Republicans in Congress,

22
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: you know, issued a statement earlier saying hey, this is

23
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 2: encouraging news. But then they went on to side the

24
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: cost the hostages and the diplomacy, just like you were

25
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: mentioning before the world wires there. So again it gets

26
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: back to the whole political bickering and not the focus

27
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: is where it should be on these hostages that are

28
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: now free, you know, some of them that have been

29
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 2: held for several years.

30
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: And how did Joe look, because you know, the burden

31
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: of the whole of lations we lifted from from his shoulders.

32
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: He's got to spring in his stip he does.

33
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: I think in this he seemed he seemed a little

34
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: more energized earlier today when he was making that call

35
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: that we just heard from the Oval office. And again

36
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: he's in Maryland right now and the prisoners just touched

37
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: down about forty five minutes ago, and he looked, I think,

38
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: very touched. And Kamala Harris, I think, you know, took

39
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: a step back in this and said, hey, this is

40
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: all Joe Biden. This is something that's been working on

41
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: for four or five years right now, and it was

42
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: really him, along with the allies that got this this

43
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: job done. So I think this is a fact in

44
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: the President's had.

45
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: Now keeping with politics and Donald Trump. Now, the problem

46
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: with that she's promoting the fact that you're a very

47
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: successful businessman is that people are always looking at just

48
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: how rich you and then they're making stories about whether

49
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: you've got rich or poor. And apparently Donald Trump has

50
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: got poorer.

51
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: Well he has not just since his trial, but also

52
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 2: since what happened last you know, a week and a

53
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 2: half ago, with with Biden stepping down and Kamala Harris

54
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 2: stepping up. Right now, the value of his truth Social

55
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 2: has has plummeted. I mean it's down about twenty three percent.

56
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: We're seeing the value of his personal stake that was

57
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 2: I think around four billion dollars in the middle of

58
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: last month is now about three point one. And honestly, Andrew,

59
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: part of this is because truth Social just isn't gaining

60
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: any traction over here. I mean, I don't know anyone

61
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 2: who's on this side personally. A lot of people talk

62
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 2: about it, and they're unique visitors tumbled by you know,

63
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: more than the third year over year in the listener.

64
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: So that's the third month that we've seen this platform decline.

65
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: And you know, Elon Musk has got to be sitting

66
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 2: over there going, you know, I was, I was worried

67
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: about this, but maybe not so much now when this launch.

68
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: But that's diminished as well. And yeah, I do miss

69
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 1: Donald Trump in the Twitter. It was a match made

70
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: in heaven. Britney Spears. She wrote quite an interesting book,

71
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: quite a regulatory book as well, The Woman and Me,

72
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: And apparently it's going to the big screen.

73
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: It is. It's being developed as a bio for her life,

74
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: and the gentleman who directed Crazy Rich Asians is going

75
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: to be directing this. He also is coming out with

76
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: a movie that a lot of people are looking forward

77
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: to over here called Wicked, which is sort of based

78
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: on the Wizard of Oz. And Spears has been very

79
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: open I think about her childhood and her relationship with

80
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: her family or lack of so I think there's going

81
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: to be some curiosity when this comes out. Her book

82
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: was the best seller. Her audio book was a hit

83
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: on Spotify. But the question is, Andrew, if you're a

84
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 2: fan of Spears and you've gone out and you've bought

85
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: the book and you've listened to it on tape, and

86
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: we've seen most of her life play it out in

87
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: front of the TV cameras of the paparazzi. Are you

88
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: willing to pay ten or fifteen dollars to see this

89
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: on the big screen? Guess a lot is going to

90
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: depend on who ends up playing her.

91
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: It's a big role and I thank you so much.

92
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,920
