Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business. Jan Mchison, US correspondence with US.

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: Hello, Dan, did you know Tom Cruise just brought the

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 2: rights to that story? By the way, what to make

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: a movie out of it? Yeah? Yeah?

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: Are you taking the mickey?

7
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: I am?

8
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: I was like, how is you?

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 3: I don't know, jeez, you're a dad, aren't you? Because

10
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 3: immediately I started thinking, okay, like is it really that interesting?

11
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 3: And how are we going to who are we going

12
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 3: to cast as the lead monkey?

13
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: And anyway, I don't know. It is one of those

14
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: stories that just won't die over here anyway.

15
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: It's not say, hey, what do you make of Robert F.

16
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: Kennedy Jr.

17
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: Kind Of an interesting choice, isn't it, especially when he's

18
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: such a big vaccine skeptic to lead the Department of

19
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 2: Human Health Services. I mean, this is a guy that

20
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: is going to be in charge with the you know,

21
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 2: the health experts right here and administering all this health

22
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: insurance and approving drugs and medical supplies here. And you know,

23
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: I mean he he had said, Okay, I'm not going

24
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: to run for president. He dropped out back in August

25
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 2: which we knew he didn't really stand a chance back then,

26
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: but he wanted to win a spot in the Trump administration,

27
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 2: and he said, you know what, pledging to fight chronic

28
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: disease is going to be his signature cause right here.

29
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: But I think you've got a lot of people that

30
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: are already saying, oh, this is not going to go

31
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: over too well with a lot of people.

32
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 3: Okay, So his view, what is the most egregious thing

33
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 3: that he has said about vaccines?

34
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: He just he's just anti vacs. He just doesn't believe

35
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: in it. For for for COVID. He he feels it

36
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: a lot of the federal agencies over here having done

37
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 2: enough research on the shots that hundreds of millions of

38
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 2: us have received for whether it's flu, which you know,

39
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I.

40
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 3: Mean, I mean it's obviously, you know, slightly problematic to

41
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 3: be in that position with that view, But that's cool

42
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 3: that that's his view.

43
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: What's he has he articulated what he plans to do.

44
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: Is he planning to ban the COVID vaccine? What's up?

45
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's going to be able to

46
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: do anything like that. What he wants to do is

47
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: though he says that he has studied the response for

48
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: a lot of these things. He has a better idea

49
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: for it. He feels that the the the Health Administration

50
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: is too powerful at this but he's going to have

51
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: to go through all kinds of his nomination, is going

52
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: to have to go through this Senate Finance Committee. And

53
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: I mean, so's he's still got an uphill battle on this.

54
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: So we'll have to wait and hear what he has

55
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: to say.

56
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: And then is he seriously wanting to take floride out

57
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: of the water.

58
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 2: That's what he says. Yeah, that's what he says. And

59
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: that's an interesting thing because every couple of years that

60
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 2: pops up over here, and you've got states right here

61
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: that want it out and that don't have it. You

62
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: have other states that say, no, we need it in

63
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 2: here because kids need it, you know, to to prevent

64
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,279
Speaker 2: cavities and so forth. And then you have the conspiracy

65
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: theorists that say the governments just poisoning us with the

66
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: floor in the water.

67
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: M Okay, we'll see how this one goes.

68
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 3: Just actually, one follow up question on that, so Gates

69
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 3: met Gates may actually not happen because in the attorney

70
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 3: general position, because he is so controversial.

71
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: Is the same true of Kennedy.

72
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: I think Kennedy's more likely to make it through the

73
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: gates is at this point in time. But I mean,

74
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: anything can happen, especially, but it's going to be it's

75
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: hard to imagine that with the Republicans basically controlling everything

76
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 2: right here for him not to get through.

77
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 3: Okay, So what's going on with X and all the

78
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: people leaving? Why are they leaving all of a sudden?

79
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 3: The place is it's been a well think for ages.

80
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: You know it has, and you know the media is

81
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: making a lot of this that everybody's flooding to apps

82
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: like blue Sky and Instagram's threads, and you've got people

83
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: like The Guardian that just said, hey, we're not going

84
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: to be using X anymore, and and social influencers like

85
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 2: Don Lemon, who used to be a CNN said we're

86
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: not going to be on here. And they've had about

87
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: a million people that have left in the past week

88
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 2: to join other platforms. But what's interesting too, and X,

89
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: by the way, is not giving us numbers how many

90
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: people have left the platform, but starting tomorrow, when you

91
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 2: sign on to X, which is actually today down where

92
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 2: you are, you're going to be agreed to let them

93
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: use whatever you post to help feed artificial intelligence AI,

94
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: so they can they can take video, they can take

95
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: what you're saying, they can take pictures, and that is

96
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: going to be used for whatever purpose they want to do.

97
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: You may find your image being used somewhere on this

98
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: platform as well. And that's what got a lot of

99
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: people saying, wait a minute. If that's the case, not

100
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: that they're not already doing that, that they're just not

101
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: interested in.

102
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: Well, exactly I was going to say, isn't that what

103
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 3: shouldn't we be assuming that absolutely everybody's doing that anyway?

104
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 3: You should be assuming that that meta on Facebook and

105
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 3: Instagram is doing it and everybody else.

106
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 2: Right, absolutely, Yeah, whatever you put out there, it's not

107
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 2: going anywhere. It's going to be out there.

108
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 3: For If you're getting it for free, it ain't free.

109
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,080
