1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: International correspondence with endsit Eye Insurance, peace of mind for

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: New Zealand business. Ben Midicine's US correspondent Dan Good afternoon.

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 2: Hey, good afternoon, Ryan.

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: So we've got to delay or a pause, as he

5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: likes to call it, a pause from Trump on terras

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: for Mexico and Canada.

7
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 2: We do. That's good news the stock market. I was

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 2: just checking during the World wires their futures right now,

9
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: which are up before the market opens tomorrow, which is nice.

10
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: But he did sign that executive action today, so it'll

11
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: give us about a month break on products that we

12
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: get in from Mexico and Canada. Although I've got to

13
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: tell you the President said earlier today he hasn't been

14
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 2: paying any attention to the stock market, you know he is.

15
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: And this trade agreement is between the US and Mexico

16
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: and Canada. It's the USMCA. The thing is, though, only

17
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: about fifty percent of imports from Mexico and about a

18
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: third from Canada are cover this agreement. So I wouldn't

19
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: expect a sudden rollback in prices just because of this,

20
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: this sudden halt for the next month.

21
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, elon Musk, he's been kind of putting his place

22
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: a little bit by trump new limits.

23
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did, he did. I mean, we've seen more

24
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: of him on the evening news. It seems like when

25
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 2: we have the president, and there's been a lot of

26
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: pushback about how much authority he has or power or influence,

27
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it. So the President got

28
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: together with his cabinet today and he said, you know what,

29
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 2: you're in charge of your departments, not Elon Musk. He

30
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: did say that Musk was empowered to make recommendations to

31
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 2: various departments, but he can't have the final say on

32
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 2: a policy. And Musk was in the meeting during this time.

33
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 2: And the reason I think that the president had this

34
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: was just because Musk has had so much pushback from

35
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 2: Democrats and from some Republicans, and there have even been

36
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: court filings over the actions that have been taken. So

37
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: I think bottom line, according to Trump's new guidance, Doge

38
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: and the staff will play an advisory role, and that's

39
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: what it should be, just an advisory role.

40
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: There you going. Just so everybody's clear now and new

41
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: generation is here, its name is already an insult apparently.

42
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean every generation, I guess they say has

43
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: a stigma that's associated with this. And this is Generation Beta,

44
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: which went into effect on the first of this year.

45
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: And there are people that are saying that and parents.

46
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 2: I have a lot of parents saying that this could

47
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 2: be seen as offensive because the term beta doubles a

48
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: slang for someone who's passive or weak. And I got

49
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: to tell you, Ryan didn't. I had no idea that

50
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: that was a thing before this came out today. But

51
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 2: in terms of the Greek alphabet, I mean, we had

52
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: the Alpha generation that was before this, we have the Beta.

53
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: I have no idea what they're going to call the

54
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: generation after this. It's going to have to be something

55
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 2: with a sea. But these are people that were born

56
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: between this year and will be born until twenty thirty nine.

57
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: And they say that these are our kids right now

58
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: that are going to inherit a world that's grappling with

59
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: a lot of societal changes right now that are kind

60
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: of basically going to be connected to the screen, which

61
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 2: I don't think is kind of surprising on this. And

62
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: this futurist, the guy that coined this guy by the

63
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 2: name of Mark K. Krindle, He said that, you know,

64
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: this could be one of the biggest generations that we've

65
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: ever had in the in the history.

66
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: Goodness may. But the problem is by complaining that, you know,

67
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: complaining that you don't like the name Beta makes you

68
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: sound beta.

69
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 2: It kind of does. And to tell you the truth,

70
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: I don't know when we started naming generation. I mean,

71
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 2: of course we have the greatest generation. We have Generation

72
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: Acts and we you know, and a few others that

73
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: we use in our it seems like our daily terminology.

74
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: But you're you're right. I mean, if they complain about this,

75
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: I mean, that's why we complain about the generation before us,

76
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: Generation what is Z you know, they're the ones that

77
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: we're given all the flak to. But I guess this

78
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: is going to be the ones that we end up

79
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: giving the flak to in the coming years.

80
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,720
