1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: Together due to see Ellen. Let me tell you, there 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: was absolutely no surprise to me to see my Facebook 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: friends melting down over Trump winning the election last night. 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: Whoa are they going? Crazy? Boy? Boy? Have there been 5 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: some hysterical predictions about how now that he's won, the 6 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,159 Speaker 1: world is going to end. My absolute favorite one was 7 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: from my husband who told me last night Trump is 8 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: bad because Trump is going to take us the world 9 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: to the brink of war. Hello. Hello, the world is 10 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 1: already at war. We don't even be taken to the brink. 11 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: We're already there. We've got two significant wars underway in 12 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: two of the most worrying parts of the world, which 13 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 1: is Europe in the Middle East. Neither of them are 14 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: because of Trump. They started under Biden. So anyway, it 15 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: got me thinking, I think we need a little bit 16 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: of perspective here, geez. I mean, people are really losing 17 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: their minds over this. We cannot predict what is going 18 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 1: to happen in the future, right, but we have the 19 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: past to guide us. So why don't we compare the 20 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: last time Trump was president with the most recent period 21 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: under Biden and see who who wins as being the 22 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,639 Speaker 1: real crazy one here? As far as I can see 23 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,839 Speaker 1: Biden is the one who's been far worse for New Zealand. 24 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: I mean, look, sure, Trump introduced the steel tariffs on 25 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: US and started a trade war with China, but I 26 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: checked with Winston Peter's office. It doesn't look like Biden's 27 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: removed those steel tariffs from US, and he hasn't ended 28 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: the trade war with China. So as far as I 29 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: can see, they're basically exactly the same as each other 30 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: on that. Under Biden, two new wars started, both of 31 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: which have pushed up prices that we pay here in 32 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: New Zealand. Under Trump, no new wars were started. Now 33 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: my husband counted that with who But we remember when 34 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: he met with Rocketman. Oh, North Korea nearly did start 35 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: a war, Yeah, but they didn't. Did They might and nearly, 36 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: but they didn't. Nothing happened despite all of the warnings. 37 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: And that's because Trump is too much of a crazy maker. 38 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 1: Other world leaders don't know how far they can push 39 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: it with him. They suspect they can't take it very fast, 40 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: so they don't try it all. That is why Putin 41 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: invaded Georgia under Bush, invaded Crimea under Obama, invaded Ukraine 42 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: under Biden, and pulled his head and did no invasions 43 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: under Donald Trump, but under Biden, never mind the threat 44 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: of North Korea may be doing something. Two things actually 45 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: did happen. Two wars actually did happen, They did start, 46 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: and they are worse than anything that North Korea might 47 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: have done under Trump. The withdrawal from Afghanistan was orderly. 48 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: Under Biden, it was a complete unmitigated disaster which he 49 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,519 Speaker 1: was at the center of, that completely undermined America's credibility. 50 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 1: So before we get too hysterical about all the bad 51 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: things that Trump could do, how about we just remind 52 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: ourselves all the bad things that Biden did do, get 53 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: a bit of a grip, ask ourselves, what would Trump 54 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: actually have to do in the next four years to 55 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: be worse than what Biden was And why aren't we 56 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: as hysterical about Biden and how bad he is or 57 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: is this just this hysteria just something we reserve for 58 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: Donald Trump.
