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 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business. Jan the Simpson US correspondence with 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: US Now Hello Dan, Hello, Hell yeah Trump. He's gonna win, 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: isn't he. 5 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,639 Speaker 2: Uh well, if he's oh yeah, I at this point, yes, 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 2: there's about a billion dollars a week. Was that Wait? 7 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: Well, was that you decided it was? 8 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,319 Speaker 2: Well, it wasn't because of that. It was just going 9 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 2: back and forth. If you had said two months ago, 10 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 2: I would have said it was going to be Trump 11 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 2: over Biden. Then Biden steps aside, and I was going 12 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 2: to say, okay, it's Harris. But now the odds makers 13 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 2: who bet, you know, billions of dollars on the outcome 14 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 2: of the presidential election over here have the odds of 15 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 2: Trump winning at about sixty one percent compared to thirty 16 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 2: six percent for Harris. And I mean, we're seeing a 17 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 2: rebound with his truth. Social stock that's up about sixteen 18 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 2: percent today. The dollar has served so far this month, 19 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 2: it's about three percent against a lot of other currencies. 20 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 2: So it seems like the markets at least like the 21 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 2: fact that Donald Trump may end up winning an over. 22 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: And what is it that has changed their minds. 23 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 2: That's a good question. I don't know if it's the 24 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 2: fact that Kamala Harris is giving more interviews and maybe 25 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 2: the people are not projecting what they want to see 26 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 2: on Harris, but they're actually hearing her say now she's 27 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 2: boring and yeah, and they're just like, well, Okay, she's 28 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 2: not the person that we were hoping she would be, 29 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 2: So we're gonna have to go back to the other side. 30 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,199 Speaker 1: What did I say at the start? Also, I did 31 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: thank you? And also so last night, right, so, yesterday 32 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: I was looking at I think it was the BBC 33 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: had run some ABC polling or something like that, and 34 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: when I saw the polling in the swing states, it 35 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: was yesterday when I realized he's going to win because 36 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: her margin in those seven swing states is not big enough. 37 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: I mean, the Democrats we talked about this not long ago, 38 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: about four weeks ago. The Democrats were freaking out because 39 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: she only had a lead of four to six points 40 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania. She now has a lead of less than one. 41 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: She's going to get walloped in all of these swing states. 42 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: That's as path the victory. 43 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: Well it is, and everybody keeps talking about this October 44 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 2: surprise and here we are on the seventeenth, which is 45 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 2: the eighteenth over where you are right now, and I'm 46 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: thinking they've got about two weeks to pull that rabbit 47 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 2: out of their hat or you know, they're not going 48 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 2: to have anything going into the election to be surprised about. 49 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: So how much can we blame the guy behind the 50 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: Apprentice for Trumpy winning? 51 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 2: Well, he had this. I got to tell you, this 52 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 2: kind of shocked me because this sort of came out 53 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 2: of the blue. There was an op ed piece that 54 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 2: ran in US News World Report today and he was 55 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 2: the former chief marketing guy of NBC News and been 56 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 2: in the business for fifty years, and he said, you know, 57 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 2: we created a monster that goes back to the Apprentice 58 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 2: television show. And he's talking about that basically, how mister 59 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 2: Trump had a tendency to exaggerate back then, which we 60 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 2: knew he did. I mean, I even remember when the 61 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 2: show was on here in the States, he would say, 62 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: We've got the number one show in America. And I'm like, 63 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: I'm looking at the ratings in front of me from 64 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: Nielsen right now, and it's number thirteen. And he questioned, 65 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 2: you know, the judgment, how Trump liked to pitch black 66 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 2: competitors against why And he said, you know, I have 67 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: to say that we promote television magic on this We 68 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 2: make mountains out of mole hills. And he said, this 69 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 2: was the biggest mistake that I have done in fifty years. 70 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: Well, you know, yeah, well you're gonna have to live 71 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: bit that probably again for another four years. 72 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: Now. 73 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: How much is a slice of cake at. 74 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 2: Disneyland, Well, at this place is going to be twenty 75 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 2: two dollars for slice of cake from the shop that 76 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: now it's not officially owned by Disney, but it's in 77 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: sort of another nail in their coffin because they just 78 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: announced this week as well. In addition to this, Disney 79 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: is going to start charging four hundred bucks per person 80 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 2: per day if you want to get a pass to 81 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: go to the front of the line. And you're looking 82 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: at average ticket prices at one hundred and fifty four dollars, 83 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 2: and I mean I was looking at the number of 84 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: people that come over to the West Coast from New Zealand. 85 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 2: I mean are quite a few when they do come 86 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: to California, they want to go to Disneyland. But you're 87 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: looking at food prices now that can range from fifteen 88 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 2: to sixty five dollars. You're looking at parking that's fifty 89 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: or sixty dollars, hotel and airfare. A family of four 90 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: can easily spend a thousand dollars a day at that park, 91 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: and it's just not affordable. It's just not affordable at 92 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 2: Disney is raising prices not only in its park but 93 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 2: on its streaming services, and they're cutting jobs with their 94 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 2: TV and radio divisions, and you're asking, how long can 95 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 2: this go on for? I mean, it used to be 96 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: the happiest place on our I that was a catchphrase 97 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: for decades, but I think it's become one of the 98 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 2: most expensive places for families to vacation. 99 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: Yeah quite, Dan, Enjoy the receiver weekend, and we'll chat 100 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: to you again next week and talk more about Trumpy's 101 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: looming whin.
