Speaker 1: New Zealand business Jonathan Cares.

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 2: The US correspondence with US Jonathan.

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: Has the world ended, Heather? It is?

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 3: I just lost you a bit there, but my word,

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 3: the United States is, and much of the rest of

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 3: the world. I think we can call today Swift Kelsey Day.

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 3: Is the wedding bells.

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: Have been set.

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 3: The two year romance is heading down the aisles.

11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: Everybody can get excited.

12
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 3: There's an album out and there's a wedding coming out.

13
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: It's all happening for Taylor Swift.

14
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 2: You know what, I knew that you'd be into this.

15
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: How much airtime is getting. There's this getting in the US.

16
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 3: It's dominating airtime and it dominated right across all facets.

17
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 3: There was the US Open Tennis was taking place. As

18
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 3: she took to social media to make the announcement. The

19
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 3: commentary was interrupted to declare that Taylor Swift was engaged.

20
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 3: Television news stations broke into a momentary excitement TM website

21
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 3: and their newsroom went into essential meltown, and likewise, in

22
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 3: our newsroom, we jumped full into gear to get all

23
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 3: into the Swift Kelsey action. As She essentially announced the

24
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 3: world that yes, it is happening at even interrupted Donald

25
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 3: Trump's marathon four hour a cabinet meeting where he was

26
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 3: asked himself for his own views. I know that your

27
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: Prime minister has opened up New Zealand's doors, opened up

28
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 3: the borders and said come on in, have the wedding,

29
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 3: have the honeymoon there. Maybe if it's not the United

30
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: States or Europe or New Zealand or Australia, who knows

31
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 3: where it could be. But if it is in New Zealand,

32
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 3: maybe they just renamed the country swift Kelsey for a week,

33
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: a bit of tourism plug.

34
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: For the nation.

35
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 2: Look, we'll take all the ideas. I mean, I hate

36
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 2: that idea, but you know, all ideas are welcome.

37
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 3: Thank you, Jonathan.

38
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: What did we get out of this marathon cabinet meeting

39
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: four hours?

40
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 3: What we got was a lot of praise from Donald

41
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 3: Trump's cabinet secretary.

42
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: So, I mean it was four hours. They were all

43
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: in the room together at the White House.

44
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: The press were in there for about three hours and

45
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 3: seventeen minutes of it, I think, And it took probably

46
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 3: more than two and a half hours for him to

47
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: get around each and every one of his respective secretaries,

48
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: and he.

49
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: Does this every single time.

50
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 3: And essentially what they spend these five or ten minutes

51
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: each each heaping praise on him and on his leadership

52
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 3: in terms of substance, Well, what we got out of

53
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 3: it with some stuff on Russia and Ukraine, some expressions

54
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 3: of frustration with Vladimir Putin, particularly around Moscow's criticisms and

55
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: attacks on Vladimir Zelenski. He used the BS word to

56
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 3: describe that what he said was posturing. Clearly he is frustrated.

57
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 3: It is now almost two weeks since that summit in

58
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: Anchorage in Alaska. He wants this conflict to come to

59
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 3: an end. He said he could resolve it in a day.

60
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: And maybe, just maybe he's realizing he can't trust Vladimir

61
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 3: Putin as far as he can throw it.

62
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 2: This business about of Vladimir doesn't want to meet with

63
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: Vladimir because he doesn't like Vladimir. That sounds like Trump

64
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: is already making excuses for Putin, doesn't it.

65
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, look it does, because what he wants is these

66
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: two leaders to sit around table first, because it seems

67
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 3: as though that was one of the strictest conditions post

68
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 3: anchorage that the two leaders would meet and then maybe

69
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 3: he would come into play after those two men. Now,

70
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 3: the Kremlin essentially has dodged every single element of the

71
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: question about whether this will actually take place, saying that

72
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 3: talks will continue out high range and they're working to

73
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: make the conditions right and saying what the Kremlin normally

74
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 3: says in these circumstances. You've also got to try and

75
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: understand the idea that the Kremlin essentially half offered an

76
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: invite for Voladimir Zelenski to go to Moscow.

77
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: Well, that's not going to happen.

78
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 3: So clearly there is very little movement in terms of

79
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: these two leaders meeting. Now, if there's not movement in

80
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 3: terms of those two leaders meeting, well where is their

81
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 3: movement in terms of peace?

82
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: And then what is Donald Trump's next move?

83
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: Because he's essentially seen himself as a peace maker, he

84
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: wants a Nobel Peace Prize, he wants the feather and

85
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 3: his cap as having resolved this conflict.

86
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: It is far from resolved.

87
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: And essentially, I think what you're seeing is Vladimir Putin

88
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: is playing a very long form game chess, as he

89
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: has long always done, particularly with Donald Trump and particularly

90
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 3: now with this war.

91
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,760
