1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends and eye Insurance, peace of mind

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: for New Zealand business so two away from.

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: Five and Jonathan kurksy our Ubas correspondence with that's hello, Jonathan.

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: They're always good to talk to you. In the listeners.

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 2: So did Elon Musk not turn up to the big meeting?

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: Invited but did not attend? Yes, the man who was

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: in charge of DOGE was invited to the tech get

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: together if you like. And the new look Rose Garden

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: which is effectively now a concrete garden if you like.

10
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: That mimics more Mari Lago's background than the rose Garden

11
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: of prior. But it was a tech meeting full of

12
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: the likes of Sam Altman from chapt It was full

13
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: of the likes of Mark Zuckerberg. The Google CEO was there,

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: the Microsoft CEO was there. Bill Gates was there but

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: very notable absentee. And Elon Musk himself, the man who

16
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: was Donald Trump's right hand man is right hand no longer.

17
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 2: Yeah too, Right now, listen this business with the Venezuelan

18
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: fighter yets. I mean, this is this is a provocation,

19
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:56,319
Speaker 2: is it?

20
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: Well? This is this is actually really serious and it's

21
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: getting into a very serious situation. Earlier this week, we

22
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: saw the Department of Homeland Security essentially say it was

23
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: in the US interests to fire on what they said

24
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: was a drug cartel boat. They killed eleven people they

25
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: said were gang members. It had supposedly come from Venezuela.

26
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: The Trump administration released footage of that strike on that

27
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: drug cartel boat, and they said the US President will

28
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: continue to track down that. In fact, Donald Trump is

29
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: pretty forceful himself on it. But today we've heard from

30
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: the US Department of Defense that says, just a matter

31
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: of hours ago to Venezuelan military aircraft flew near a

32
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: US Navy vessel that, yes, was in international waters. But

33
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: this is clearly a message that is being sent by

34
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: Venezuela to the US administration essentially trying to say, you know,

35
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: back off from our territory a little bit. So you've

36
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: got somewhat of a standoff here, But the next move

37
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: from the US administration is going to be very very interesting. Indeed,

38
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: the Department of Defense essentially is saying that it strongly

39
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: advised Venezuela not to pursue any further effort to obstructor

40
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: to or interfere with what they say count and narcotic

41
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: and canter terror operations carried out by the US military. So, yes,

42
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: a standoff between the United States and Venezuela. Somewhat of

43
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: an acceleration by Venezuela in this not exactly conflict, but yes,

44
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: a standoff that is going to be raising concern over

45
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: the coming days.

46
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 2: Now, can you explain to me why the US wants

47
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: to stop the Iranians from buying things at Costco?

48
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: Ah? Yes, welcome to the World of United Nations High

49
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: Level Week, where not only has the US decided that

50
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: the Palestinian leader Makworta bas is not welcome, but yes,

51
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: they are going to be restricting the movements of a

52
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: number of delegates will be making their way into the

53
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: United States for the UN week that is seen around

54
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: the world. And yes, the Iranians have been told that

55
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: they will not be able to go to shopping centers,

56
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: including mass outlets like Costco. So there'll be no giant

57
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: purchases of humus or olives or anything of the like

58
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: that you may be able to get at Costco. Maybe

59
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: they could get some barbecue wings. I mean, I don't

60
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: know how there are Maybe the United Nations would work

61
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: better if they all had a multicultural cookoff and decided

62
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: to ease the tensions with a multicultural food festival in

63
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: New York City.

64
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: Why why stop as the point, why stop them from

65
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 2: going to costco.

66
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: Well, because essentially they're trying to restrict their movements.

67
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: Stopping them from it's restricting their movements to trying to

68
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 3: keep them in the heart of New York City itself,

69
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 3: basically saying they can't go out, they can't move around freely.

70
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 3: They're here essentially for one purpose and one purpose only,

71
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: and that is to attend the United Nations.

72
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: They're not here to act as tourists. They're not here

73
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: to gather for catering functions. They're not here to you know,

74
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: live up the American lifestyle if you like. They are

75
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: here for official business. And that is the United Nations

76
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: High Level Week. It is a week that is taken

77
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: very seriously. It'll be held at the end of September,

78
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: from about the twenty second to the end of that week.

79
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: Donald Trump will speak on the Tuesday of that week,

80
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: it is expected and you will hear from a number

81
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: of world leaders. You can imagine Russia, Ukraine will be

82
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: a focus Willy's role, and Gars have given them so

83
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: many nations, including one just across the sea from you

84
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: in Australia declared that yes, they will be formally identifying

85
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: Palestine as a as a nation. And this has been

86
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: a move by a number of Western countries, so it

87
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: is taken very very seriously. As I said, the United

88
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: States already barring Palestinian officials from turning up and now

89
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: they're looking to bar Iranians from going shopping.

90
