1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of Mind 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business. 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,719 Speaker 2: Jan Missions and US Correspondent with US Now Hi Dan, Hi, Heather. 4 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,559 Speaker 2: I mean, he was pretty fiery in that speech as 5 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 2: he quelled any concerns. 6 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 3: No. I mean, it's interesting because normally when you get 7 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,959 Speaker 3: leaders like this together, we'd be talking about what they're 8 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 3: talking about. But in this case, well, I mean it 9 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 3: would have been Ukraine and Russia obviously, but this week, 10 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 3: I think it's more watching President buying to see if 11 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 3: he's capable to run the country for another four years, 12 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 3: and that's what everyone's talking about over here. I think 13 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 3: he was speaking a little better today. He had a 14 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,200 Speaker 3: little more energy, it felt like from watching him. But remember, 15 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 3: I mean this speech was read from a teleprompter, it 16 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 3: was from prepared remarks. It wasn't off the cuff, and 17 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 3: you don't take questions in the situation. So we'll see 18 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 3: how this works out later in the week. I think, 19 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 3: you know, by the weekend early next week, we're gonna 20 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 3: have a better idea if he's got the support that 21 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 3: he needs to stay in this race, not just from 22 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 3: world leaders but here at home. 23 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the thing about about his performance is 24 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: that it is so hits and miss, right, and we 25 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: have seen him go from being really really lackluster to 26 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: being really energetic, and so having an energetic performance once 27 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: off is not really convincing, is it. 28 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 3: No, No, you're right, it's hit and miss. I mean 29 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 3: the night after the debate he was pretty good. When 30 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 3: he was out on the campaign trail. A couple of 31 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,199 Speaker 3: days later he was eh. Today he looked he sounded 32 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 3: real good too, And I think they're really working on 33 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 3: him to, you know, to stay the course and every 34 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,839 Speaker 3: single day and I mean every single day counts between 35 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 3: now and the next week or two, I think, fair. 36 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: Enough, how's it going for Alec Baldwin. 37 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 3: Well, I mean they've got a jury that's been selected, 38 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 3: so opening the arguments are scheduled for tomorrow. It looks like, 39 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 3: I mean, if things go as planned, this is going 40 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 3: to be a fairly quick case. I mean, closing arguments 41 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 3: are expected next week sometime I think around the nineteenth. 42 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,919 Speaker 3: And he did score a little bit of a victory, 43 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 3: I guess when the judge ruled that prosecutors can't introduce 44 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,559 Speaker 3: evidence of his status as a producer on this movie, 45 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 3: which he was as well as you know, starring and 46 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 3: then that you know, it was kind of interesting too 47 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 3: because his attorney took a minute or two to remind 48 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 3: the jurors today that bald when it was or is 49 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 3: quote a real person and then asked everyone if they 50 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 3: had seen Baldwin in a movie or a comedy show 51 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 3: that they didn't like, and would they hold that against him, 52 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 3: because some jurors obviously would. He doesn't have the best 53 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 3: reputation in the public. 54 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, how are they having a film festival in the prison? 55 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 3: I love this? And to give you a little background, 56 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 3: San Quentin State Prison is a maximum security correction facility 57 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 3: for men. It's located here in northern California. It's near 58 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 3: San Francisco. You've probably seen it a million times and 59 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 3: didn't even realize it on TV shows and movies. And 60 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 3: so they're holding the first ever film festival inside a prison. 61 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 3: They just named the jury today, which includes actors like 62 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 3: Jeffrey Wright who played oh Felix Leider in the Bond movies, 63 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 3: and Mary Louise Parker and a lot of other actors 64 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 3: and actresses too. This is going to take place on 65 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 3: the tenth and eleventh inside the prison. They're going to 66 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 3: have short form films and pitches from people who are 67 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 3: currently locked up, who were formally locked up. They're going 68 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 3: to have a separate jury that's inside people that are 69 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 3: currently incarcerated as well as the actors. And you know, 70 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 3: this is the first kind of a film festival that's 71 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 3: ever been held here. But they already do a lot 72 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,399 Speaker 3: of media works inside this place too. I mean, they've 73 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 3: got a podcast that they produce that's listened to all 74 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 3: over the world called Ear, Hustle and Uncuffed, and they 75 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 3: also have a little sort of in house bulletin too, 76 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 3: So I guess it's just giving the people in there 77 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 3: sort of another resource when they get out, if they 78 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 3: get out. 79 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 2: Interesting.
