1 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: The Rural Report on Heather duet. 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 2: About Jack Tame, forget about Dan Mitchinson, forget about all 3 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 2: of those US correspondents who think they know what's happening 4 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 2: on the ground. Jamie McKay has just come back from 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 2: the States. He's got the good oila Jamie. 6 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you can forget about water cronkite while you're 7 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: on it. 8 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly right. So who's going to win there? 9 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: Oh? Look, I mean I spent we spent two weeks 10 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: and they're all on the eastern seaboard, New York, Boston, Philadelphia. 11 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: Not much to do there apart from run up and 12 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: down the Rocky Steps and Washington will be fair to say. 13 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 1: I mean, that's true Blue country. I didn't meet that 14 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 1: many Trump voters. I did send you a picture, mind you, Heather, 15 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: of Michael, the pro Trump uber driver who's got Trump 16 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: plastered all around the inside and the outside of a 17 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: zuber in Boston. And in fact, he's got a Trump 18 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: sort of cutout stuck to the windowscreen. And the interesting 19 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: thing was Michael kept us entertained for the five or 20 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: ten minutes he took us to get us from our 21 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: hotel to the train station. I said, how do you 22 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: get on when you pull up in this car and 23 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: there's a Democrat standing on the sideline? He said, well, 24 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: it actually makes me a lot of money because they 25 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: don't get in. I wait for them five minutes and 26 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: then they've got to pay. So maybe there's maybe this 27 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: method to his maideness. And I also sent you a 28 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: pick Heather of a bloke riding his bike with a 29 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: big flag or several big flags on the back of 30 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: his bike, right in front of the Washington Monument in 31 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: the middle of the Washington Mall there with Harris and 32 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: Waltz on that one. So look, it's flip of a coin. 33 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: But I think the seven and I've heard you talking 34 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: about this as well, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin. 35 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: The seven swing states Trump's ahead, and five of them 36 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: at the moment. I've got a sneaking suspicion, which might 37 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: not be good for New Zealand, that Trump's going to 38 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: win this. 39 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I suspect. So, I suspect this. What's going to happen? 40 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: Are people talking about because and the other thing that 41 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 2: kind of swings things in his favor is that he 42 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: is perceived to be stronger on the economy, and the 43 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 2: economy is what's weighing on people's minds. I mean, is 44 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 2: that the vibe that you were getting over there, that 45 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: this is the thing that's plaguing people the most. 46 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they all accept that Trump is a 47 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: flawed individual, probably a very flawed individual, but at least, 48 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 1: and I'm certainly not pro Trump, but at least when 49 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: he speaks, he kind of says something. And Carmal is 50 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: probably a wonderfully nice person. And I'll get in trouble 51 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: by the liberal left for saying this as well. But 52 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: I've watched a lot of her on the US cable 53 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: channels while I was over there, and her biggest problem 54 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: is she doesn't actually say anything a three minute words. 55 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: She's annoying. Whereas Trump, you know, he makes all these promises, 56 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 1: but at least she kind of he's put a peg 57 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: in the sand. And yes, I do think to your 58 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: point that the big issues are the cost of living, 59 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: the economy, and don't underestimate the migrant issue. That's the 60 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: one that people were talking to me about. We're going 61 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: to vote Trump because he's going to build a wall. 62 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: They're going to stop these migrants coming in to our 63 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: sacrifice cities. And they're going to stop these criminals coming 64 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: in and murdering Americans. And I think the migrant issue 65 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: might get him across the line, even if it doesn't 66 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: mean many illegal Mexicans will get across the line or 67 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: the border. And one final word from me here that 68 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: just on that. I read a really interesting story in 69 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: the New York Times about the big dairy farms in Idaho. 70 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: It's their biggest dairy farming state, all run by Mexican labor. 71 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: A lot of that labor is illegal or not certificated 72 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: or whatever you call it. Trump says on day one, 73 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: I'm going to send them all home. No one will 74 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: be left in the United States to do the hard yards, 75 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: just as the likes of the Filipinos do here in 76 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: this country with our dairy industry, because Kiwi's and Americans 77 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: are getting lazier by the day and don't want to 78 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: do the hard yards. 79 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, very interesting. You know what you didn't see me 80 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 2: was the picture of yourself with the old Trump hat. 81 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: Well, that was nanda there. I mean, that was like 82 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: a private joke. It was legal to me. 83 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 2: You've got you've got the orange hair sticking out the top, 84 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 2: and what does the hats It's just like a Trump 85 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 2: like a Trump visor type things. 86 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: It Well, look, I no know, it's actually a Trump 87 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: caf with the orange hair on top. I bought it 88 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: for my son, who has some real issues and his life. 89 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: One of them. He's a mad gen Trump supporter, So 90 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: I bought it for him and I just tried it on, 91 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: took a poke coourse and he took a pack and 92 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: next thing I know, it's on Facebook. So you've just 93 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: got to be careful in this day, this and this 94 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: day and age, Heather. That should have never have been 95 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: That should never have been leaked to you if I 96 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: was in the state, So I'd be suing you right now. 97 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, too right, And you know you know what would happen. 98 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 2: Simon Wilson at the Hero will see it and be like, 99 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 2: why did Jamie McKay endorse Donald Trump? That's what that 100 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 2: would become. Jamie mackay, Thank you, Nice to have you 101 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 2: back Host of the Country.
