1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Let's go stateside now. Dan Mitchison, our US correspondent, Dan

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: Good afternoon. Hey right, very young, twenty seven years old,

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: the new White House Press secretary, laying down the Laura

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: in her first day. How'd she do? Ah?

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 2: Well, I guess it depends who you ask. I mean,

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: she's smart, that's for sure. I Mean, what we know

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: about her is she ran for a seat in Congress

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago on a pro Trump gun

9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: ownership platform. She lost, but she's been a Trump fan

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: since her high school days. She is very gen Z style.

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: Given a shakeup at the at the podium earlier today.

12
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: I mean, she opened the room to TikTokers and she

13
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 2: has created a seawash and I should say she but

14
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 2: she and Donald Trump for new media. So that's you know,

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: that's sort of a part of the overhaul that I

16
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: think Trump wants in this in this new cabinet.

17
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: Does that? I mean, how's that gone down with, you know,

18
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: with the reporter types in the in the journalist because

19
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: it's a reality that those more traditional you know, I mean,

20
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: ce and INA's laying off hundreds of staff right now,

21
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: and the podcasts and all that stuff are taking off.

22
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: So does it. Does it make sense?

23
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: I mean that's a good question too, because you've got

24
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: old media and new media right now. I mean, reporters

25
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: obviously start putting up their hands right away, and she

26
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: started with the new media, I mean like Axios and

27
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: Breitbart and before going to the traditional news organizations and

28
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 2: a lot of the right wing outlets on this. So

29
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: I think that's sort of giving us a clue about

30
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: where they're headed. Like you said, CNN, it just laid

31
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: off two hundred people. But what they're doing is they're

32
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: going to their parent company and they're going to use

33
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: that money and they're putting that into digital and new media.

34
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: So some of those people are probably going to be

35
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 2: applying for those jobs, I would think, But it's it's

36
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: you know, will she be around though, that's the question

37
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: six months from now. You know, we had Sean Spicer

38
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: during Trump's first term here, and then we had three

39
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: other spokespeople that followed followed Spicer as well, So we'll see.

40
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: Sure runway. Google Maps is going to rename the Golf

41
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: of Mexico to the Golf of America.

42
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: I find this fascinating today. This has been something that

43
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: I've been talking about with a lot of colleagues too.

44
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: How you can go ahead and do something like this. Now,

45
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: the thing is, when you get into the weeds of this,

46
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: Google will see, okay, the location's name will appear differently

47
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: depending on where you are. So in the US, we're

48
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: going to see it as I guess the what President

49
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: Trump wants to call it, the Gulf of America. Around

50
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: the rest of the world, you're going to see it

51
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 2: by the name used by the country where you're accessing

52
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: the map. So you'll see the Gulf of Mexico, and

53
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: you all may see right next to it, to the

54
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: Gulf of America. And you know, the federal government will

55
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 2: formally reference the golf in this mountain they want to

56
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: change over here back to Mount McKinley in the new names.

57
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 2: But I mean just just think about the history books

58
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: and and and the maps that are printed out for

59
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: I mean, you can't go back and forth with something

60
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: like this, now, can you.

61
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: Why is stobots stopped getting a panic buss.

62
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: Because they're not allowing people just come hang out like

63
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: they used to. You know, people wanted to just go

64
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: in and use the restroom or hang out in the store.

65
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 2: So this is kind of a reversal of their their

66
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 2: and door code. And why this is If you go

67
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: back to twenty eighteen, they had a couple of African

68
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: American men who were arrested in Philadelphia and a Starbucks there.

69
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: They were waiting for a business meeting to start. They

70
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: didn't buy anything. So you flash forward to today and

71
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: the new CEO says, no, we don't want people just

72
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: hanging around here. So they've seen some pushback on this.

73
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: Some stores are going to have these panic buttons that

74
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: will prevent more people from coming in. Employees are getting

75
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 2: some kind of training on how to de escalate confrontations.

76
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: And you understand both sides. I think. I mean, it's

77
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: nice when you're caught short and you want to run

78
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: into a Starbucks to use the bathroom there, but you know,

79
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 2: you see a lot of teens and homeless hanging out

80
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: all day taking up space, and this is you know,

81
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, a business bottom line

82
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: is the company's there to make money and they need

83
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: the seats free for people that want to buy something.

84
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,000
