1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance Peace of Mind

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business.

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 2: Jean Mitchinson, US correspondent with US Now, Hello, Dan, Hi there, Hey,

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 2: Elon's in.

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: He's got his job.

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 3: Well he is. Well, you know, I don't know if

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 3: it's going to be a job or not. I mean,

8
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 3: what he's going to do is he's going to lead,

9
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 3: along with the former GOP candidate of the Vikramaswami, He's

10
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 3: going to lead the Department of Government Efficiency. So these

11
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 3: guys can keep their real jobs at pay a gazillion

12
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 3: dollars and still have influence over policy and you know,

13
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 3: maybe run again in four years. I mean that's certainly

14
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 3: for a vake. I mean, he's going to keep his

15
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 3: finger in the political pot. We know that.

16
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: So does it sound to you like it's not official?

17
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: I mean, the fact that they've been appointed to lead

18
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: the thing sort of suggests that they will actually be

19
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: hands on managers. But are you suggested it's more of

20
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 2: a consultancy role or something.

21
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 3: I think so, I think it's going to be more

22
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 3: of a remote thing. I mean, I can't see these

23
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 3: guys moving across country to take a job that's going

24
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 3: to pay you know, probably one hundred thousand, maybe a

25
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 3: couple of hundred thousand dollars a year when they're making

26
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 3: you know, big millions and millions of year. But basically

27
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 3: their job is going to be do what mister Trump said,

28
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 3: dismantled the government bureaucracy of bureaucracy and slash all these

29
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 3: regulations that are going on and cut wasteful expenditures and

30
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 3: restructure a lot of the federal agencies. So we've also

31
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 3: got Mike Huckabee, who they announced he ran for president

32
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 3: of years back for more Arkans, but uh picked to

33
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 3: be the ambassad at Israel. I mean, he was just

34
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 3: coming out, well all kind of Marco Rubio, he's likely

35
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 3: to be the Secretary of State. Now that'll put him

36
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 3: on track to be the first Latino to serve in

37
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 3: this role. So, I mean, these are these themes were

38
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 3: just coming out one after another today.

39
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: What about the Fox News host?

40
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, this is going to be interesting. A guy

41
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 3: by the name of Pete Pigsith, who is a military veteran,

42
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 3: a Fox News host. He's going to be the Defense secretary.

43
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 3: And you know, I mean, if you watch Fox, you

44
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 3: know a little bit about him. If you don't. Uh,

45
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 3: you're gonna learn a lot more about him, I think.

46
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 3: I mean, Trump says he's smart, and he's tough, and

47
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 3: he's a believer in America first, so I think he'll

48
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 3: be picking a lot more people from these you know,

49
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 3: I mean, we we've had people from Fox News that

50
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 3: have gone into to politics before, for both the Republicans

51
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 3: and even Democrats in the past, so this isn't a first,

52
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 3: but it's a it's a very high position.

53
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: Obviously, does he continue to be a Fox News host

54
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: or does he does he?

55
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, no, he's going to have to

56
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 3: give up that that position.

57
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 1: Definitely what a pay cart.

58
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: Probably, yes, probably, But he's doing it for his country.

59
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: And then after a couple of years or whatever, when

60
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 3: when Trump gets tired of him, he'll he'll probably go

61
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 3: back on the cable rounds and you know, write a

62
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 3: tell all book and make a heck of a lot

63
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: more money than he's making right now.

64
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: Nobody ever does anything for their country, dan They only

65
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: do it for their own personal their own personal.

66
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: Ambition, don't they.

67
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 3: True?

68
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: See Like, suddenly I know who this guy's and I

69
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: didn't know beforehand. Okay, the delay in the sentencing over

70
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: the hashmaney stuff for Donald Trump. It's only is it

71
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: only delayed until November nineteen a win, is it?

72
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, just just for the time being, for a

73
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 3: short period of about a week or so. And this

74
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 3: goes back to the faults to find the business records

75
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: and store me Daniels. So the judge today said, Okay,

76
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 3: we're going to put a stay on this all the

77
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: deadlines five months before he did where he takes office,

78
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 3: and this will allow mister Trump to avoid the maximum

79
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 3: sentence of up to four years in prison. So we're

80
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 3: going to find out what happens in the next week

81
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 3: or two. And you know, this has been back and

82
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: forth too, because we had the Supreme Court over the

83
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: summer said that the president should enjoy immunity from criminal

84
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 3: prosecution for most of the actions. So yeah, it'll be

85
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 3: interesting to see what this judge decides in about a

86
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 3: week or so.

87
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: What's Milania's problem with Jill Biden?

88
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 3: I don't know, isn't this kind of this is kind

89
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 3: of interesting too, because I mean she's not going to

90
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 3: the meeting tomorrow. I mean, this is going to be

91
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 3: sort of a hand off between President Biden and mister

92
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: Trump right now. And you know, Jill, I mean, Biden

93
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 3: had authorized the FBI to snoop around, you know, in

94
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 3: down in Florida, and people were saying, well, you have

95
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 3: to meet Joe Biden, and Milania supposedly said no, I

96
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: don't have to. So this is kind of awkward. And

97
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: now they're saying, well, the reason behind this no show

98
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: is because she's got media conflicts because of this new book.

99
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: There's this new memoir that she has out, so she's

100
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: had to turn down this offer of meeting President Biden's wife. Awkward, Yes, petty,

101
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 3: maybe in the big scheme of things, you know, it's

102
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: not me, it's not huge, but it's just it's very awkward.

103
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 3: I think.

104
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dan, thank you very much appreciated, Dan Minchins and

105
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 2: you as correspondent. Anybody get the feeling that Malaney just

106
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: wishes the circus was all over it and want to

107
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 2: be part of it.

108
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,000
