1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends and eye Insurance peace of mind 2 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: for New Zealand business. 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 2: Right, Well, Donald Trump's been pretty confident, hasn't he That 4 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 2: he's got the selection in the bag in the last 5 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 2: few days, and it looks like it might be panning 6 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 2: out that way for him today. Scott Brown was the 7 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 2: US Ambassador to New Zealand. He was appointed by Donald 8 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:19,440 Speaker 2: trumpet he's with US now. 9 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: Scott Hello, Well, hello stranger. How are you. 10 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 2: I'm very well, thank you. It's very good to talk 11 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 2: to you. Is this an evening that you were enjoying 12 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 2: so far? 13 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it's been good, certainly, something that I'm used to. 14 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: It seems very similar to twenty sixteen. I've been obviously 15 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: doing the analyzing and making calls like everybody else. And 16 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: the thing that's different about this one is that he 17 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 1: has brought a broad base, the pop the Latino votes, 18 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: Hispanic votes, Black American male votes, female votes, Black American 19 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: female votes. They're all up dramatic, and she's underperforming in 20 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: a lot of those so called blue wall states. And 21 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: Iowa was just called and you know, the Iowa newspaper 22 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: had him down like thirteen. They just called it. So 23 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: I believe he's going to win North Carolina soon and 24 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: then Georgia, and I believe he'll win Pennsylvania too, and 25 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: then it's really it's pretty much over. Then she would 26 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: have to just go and win everything. And it doesn't 27 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: look at presidents up in Wisconsin as well, and I 28 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: it's even close in New Mexico. 29 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 2: Do you think, I mean, do they call Pennsylvania tonight 30 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 2: or is that a tomorrow thing? 31 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: You know, they learned from last time that people aren't 32 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: going to wait weeks. I think it'll be earlier in 33 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: the morning. But things seem to be moving along pretty well. 34 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: There's been very few problems because everyone is getting a 35 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: little bit fed up. You have, for example, here in Florida. 36 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: I'm actually at our place here in Florida. I mean 37 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: they have they've processed the votes, was but three or 38 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: four million votes in an hour and a half. And 39 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: yet you have other states that, oh, it's going to 40 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: you know, Arizona and others, Oh, it's going to take 41 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: you know, at least a week. Why why hire more people? 42 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: Just that's where the confidence in the vote with people 43 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: is really a problem. They don't trust the process. If 44 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: they could just do it right, it would be great Scott. 45 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 2: So what's gone his way? Why is it explain to 46 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 2: me how it is that everybody appears to have been like, well, 47 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 2: this race is really tight, when actually right now it 48 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 2: doesn't look tight at all. 49 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: Well, if you go to the if you're a better 50 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: you go to the betting site, sees that he started 51 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: out of fifty two percent, he's up at ninety one percent. 52 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: Even the New York Times has him winning it as well. 53 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: Bottom line is, you know she came in late. People 54 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: don't like what they did to Joe Biden, whether you 55 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: like them or not, you know, they forced them out. 56 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: And she didn't any vote. She was one of the 57 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: She didn't even get to two percent when she was 58 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: running for president. And I think her biggest problem, and 59 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: I've said for months now, is that she didn't take 60 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: a tough interview except for Brett Bher and I thought 61 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: she did fairly well there, and she wasn't She wasn't 62 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: ready for prime time when it came to actually answering questions, 63 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: you know, what are you going to do about the economy? Well, 64 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: let me just stop by this. You know, I'm from 65 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: the middle class. A big deal that doesn't that's not 66 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: that's not how you're going to do it, And so 67 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: avoiding interviews really not having any answers. I'm not doing 68 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: a thing on the border, letting fifteen million people into 69 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: our country who don't belong here, giving them free stuff 70 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,399 Speaker 1: all over the place, over our bed. 71 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 2: Explain to me how, once again, people, and talking specifically 72 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 2: about commentites in the media, how did they not see this. 73 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: Coming because they're blind. They don't listen to the people. 74 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: They're in their high towers and they don't come down 75 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: and actually go to the local diners or or you know, 76 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: speak to people who had under President Trump, you know, 77 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: a couple of thousand dollars of savings in their pocket 78 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: and the event of emergency. Now they don't have any 79 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: Their credit card are over leveraged, their mortgages are underwater, 80 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: they're a stack of bills on there on their table. 81 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: That some of our cities are unsafe. We have gangs 82 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: taking over housing complexes in Colorado? Are you kidding me? 83 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: Is just upside down, And that's why, quite frankly, she's 84 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: not going to win. 85 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 2: Hey, Scott, So if your man wins, do you get 86 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 2: another cool job? 87 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: Yeah?
