1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of mind 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: for New Zealand business. 3 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,959 Speaker 2: Yeh, the sins the US correspondence with US Now Hello Dan, Hi, Heather? Yeah, 4 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 2: how much are you loving having him out of the country. 5 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: He's still making news. He's still making news. It doesn't 6 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,959 Speaker 1: matter and whatever he does, it focuses back on him. 7 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: I mean, you got to give the guy credit. You know, 8 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: it always comes back to making him look good. And 9 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: I had a feeling he was going to be making 10 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: news on this trip, and like you just said on 11 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: the world wires, he signed several new agreements with Saudi 12 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: Arabia today, which is interesting because I mean, they've been 13 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: listed as a terrorist regime since I think it was 14 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine, nineteen eighties, so you know, these sanctions 15 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: have been a long time coming. And there's also concerns 16 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: here the other big stories this jet that they're proposing 17 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: to give that the President would use as a temporary 18 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: air force one right now, which people are saying, well, 19 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: that just comes out and shows that you can be 20 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: bought in this office a public I guess I should say, 21 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: because you know, I mean, we've been accusing politicians of 22 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: doing that for eons and eons, but this has really 23 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: gotten some pushback. 24 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 2: And how has it gone down, this plan to lift 25 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: the sanctions on Syria. 26 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: I think it's a little mixed. I mean, it's interesting 27 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: to hear the president say that that he doesn't like 28 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: permanent enemies, and then he thinks it's their time to shine. 29 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: But again, I think this is going to be something 30 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: that I don't think. I mean, it already is very 31 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: divisive down party lines at this point. And see will 32 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: anything come about of it? Maybe will his prayer, will 33 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: his successor reverse this? Possibly we'll have to see. You know, 34 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 1: who's who's in office in three and a half years. 35 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 2: Is he going to go to that meeting with Zelenski 36 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 2: and Posian? 37 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. There's been a lot of talk about 38 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: that back and forth at this point in time. It 39 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: would certainly be interesting to have the three of them 40 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: in that same room, but it's just really hard to 41 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: see putin getting together with anybody, you know, besides Donald 42 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: Trump at this point in time. I mean, he might 43 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: get together with Zelenski, but the three of them together, boy, now, 44 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: that would be a that would be a story worth covering. 45 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 2: Hey, listen, So what are the chances that these Menindi's 46 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 2: brothers actually get out shortly, you. 47 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: Know what, they're in their late fifties, I think, I mean, 48 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: there's a chance there has to be a decision by 49 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: next month, I believe to hold a hearing on this. 50 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: And a judge today basically resentenced them to fifty years 51 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: to life in prison, which automatically makes them eligible to 52 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: go before this parole board. And I mean there's been 53 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: a lot of back and forth. I mean, both apologized 54 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: in court for their actions. Again, they talked about their hopes. 55 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: They said that we want to work with sex abuse victims. 56 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: We want to help those who have been incarcerated that 57 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: have been given a second chance outside the prison system. 58 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: But I mean there's still a lot of people that 59 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: hold grudges against them, you know, murdering their parents despite 60 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: them saying that they were you know, sexually abused as kids. 61 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: And this is the reason why. But there are also 62 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: other people that are coming forward that we hadn't heard 63 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: from before right now saying, you know what these guys 64 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: have done their time, they deserve to be free. 65 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 2: Now. Talk to me about this book that has some 66 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 2: allegations about the attempts that were made to hide Biden 67 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 2: kind of slipping further and further away. What do we know? 68 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I got to I got to tell you 69 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: how the I mean, we've heard a lot of this 70 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: stuff before. What we haven't, or at least I haven't heard, 71 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: was the fact that they were they wanted him in 72 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: a wheelchair, which is I think one of the most 73 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: notable disclosures. 74 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 2: There was a wheelchair? Was it because he kept four. 75 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly a bike. 76 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 2: That's the opposite. 77 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: I know, I know, and apparently I mean it's again 78 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: I think it goes back to that close circle, including 79 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: his wife. But but they said, well, we can't have 80 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: him in a wheelchair before the election, but we do 81 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: have a plan to have him in a wheelchair after 82 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: he got elected, if he got elected. 83 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: Yes, wow, okay, Now why why did he have to 84 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 2: be in a wheelchair. 85 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: Just because of his his well not just his cognitive 86 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: but his physical disabilities. I mean, they were saying that 87 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: the evidence of aging was just overwhelming right there. I mean, 88 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: he didn't even recognize George Clooney at a fundraiser that 89 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: Clooney was hosting for or legendly didn't recognize him for 90 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: you know, for and he was one of his closest 91 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: Hollywood friends. And then they did this interview, the president 92 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: and his wife on the view a couple of weeks back, 93 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: pushing back on all these suggestions that he had this 94 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: cognitive decline, but honestly had this. This has been one 95 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: of the worst political secrets in political circles for several years. 96 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: And I think Biden and his wife will go to 97 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: their graves denying that he wasn't up for the job 98 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: or should have been pulled out of the race sooner. 99 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: Well, it was clear though, wasn't it.
