00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: Dan Mitchinson US correspondence with US.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 2: Hello, Dan, Well, that's one last person I'll have to

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 2: talk about as we get closer to twenty twenty eight,

4
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:08,040
Speaker 2: I guess.

5
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: And I think it's wise for him to have dropped out. Hey,

6
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: how bad is the air travel and the delays? With

7
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: you guys?

8
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 2: It is terrible. If you're thinking of flying out of

9
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: one of the airports here in the US, if you're

10
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 2: thinking about coming over from New Zealand for a holiday,

11
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: you may want to think twice because there's this pause

12
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 2: still on funding for the Department of Homeland Security, so

13
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: that means the TSA agents are not getting paid. The

14
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 2: people will get you through security, and most of them

15
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: are not showing up for work, so that means weight

16
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 2: times can last for three or four hours. The website

17
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 2: app was paused last month. Jet Blue and a number

18
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: of airlines are issuing warnings saying that your wait time

19
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,959
Speaker 2: could for pre check customers could be two or three

20
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: hours or longer. And it's happening at an awful time

21
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: heather around here, because spring break is happening over the

22
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: next couple of weeks for families, and a lot of

23
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: those kids in college are trying to get home, and

24
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: they may have to find another way if they don't

25
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: want to waste a good chunk of their time.

26
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,639
Speaker 1: Hey, listen, what have they found by going into Epstein's ranch?

27
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 2: Well, that's what we're trying to find out. Apparently included

28
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: in the millions of files that were released by the

29
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 2: Justice Department back in January was one email from twenty

30
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: nineteen that was received by a local radio host and

31
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: it alleged that quote somewhere in the hills outside of Zorro,

32
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: this area there two foreign girls were buried on orders

33
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: of Jeffrey. And now that allegation is unverified, but it's also,

34
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: I guess not clear to what extent it had been

35
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: investigated originally, And now there's renewed interest in Epstein's So

36
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: the criminal investigation is now looking into possible illegal activities

37
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: surrounding the time of the ranch before he died in

38
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen and he owned it.

39
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: Does it feel to you, I mean, I realized that

40
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: there's some of the stuff that has gone on here

41
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: is clearly illegal. Some of the stuff is clearly quite serious.

42
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: But it feels to me like we are taking absolutely

43
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: every allegation on the same level. Some of them just

44
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: sound like they might be a bit nutty.

45
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: I agree.

46
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: You know, like every email has the same way as

47
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: every other email, do you know what I mean?

48
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: Right? No, No, I do. And you keep thinking, well, Okay,

49
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: something's going to come up this, there's allegations, there's new

50
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 2: batch that's going to be dropped, and we're going to

51
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: hear something that's really solid and you can get your

52
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: teeth around and then you realize, well, this is just

53
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: sort of hearsay again, or this is something that they're

54
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: looking into, or it's something that we've talked about already,

55
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: but they've decided to reopen the investigation. So it seems

56
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: like this has just been dragging on awful long time.

57
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you very much, Dan, appreciate your time as always,
