1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: People seem to think Karmala Harris made a fool of

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: Trump in the debate last night, but the real fall

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: was US New Zealand. Within twenty four hours of that debate,

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: we got news of two hundred and thirty jobs being lost,

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: in part because of an energy crunch caused by moral

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: grand standing on climate change. That's two hundred and thirty jobs,

7
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: but up to one thousand people once you take into

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: account families. That's half the population of Datahi and o'kerney.

9
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 1: Shane Jones calls this the hollowing out of regional New Zealand,

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: and wait for it, there is more to come. We

11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: also got last night news method X is consulting on

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: mothballing indefinitely, one of its two remaining plants. Why you

13
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: guessed it in part moral grandstanding on climate which we'll

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: get to in a second. But first back to the debate.

15
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: Listen to the most left progressive political leader in America

16
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: right now boasting about fracking.

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: I will not band fracking. I have not bannd fracking

18
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: as Vice President United States, and in fact I was

19
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: the breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act, which opened

20
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: new leases for fracking.

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: And here Karmena Harris bosets about record domestic oil production

22
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: while she and Biden are in charge.

23
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: We have had the largest increase in domestic oil production

24
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: in history.

25
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: Drill, baby, drill. Meanwhile, we're basking in nuclear free moment

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 1: bliss down here at the bottom of the Pacific. Aren't

27
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: we sending manufacturing jobs and regional jobs off to the slaughterhouse?

28
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: And yes, climate change is real, and yes we have

29
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: to do something about it. But why would we cut

30
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: our noses off despite our faces when the most progressive

31
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: climate conscious contender to run the world's largest economy and

32
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: biggest user of oil is boasting about drilling for it.

33
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: Sitting watching that debate yesterday, it wasn't Trump that I

34
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: thought looked stupid.

35
