1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: Dan Mitchison US correspondence with US.

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 2: Now, hello Dan, or you can just call me the

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 2: yank whatever you want.

4
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: Right, why not? But it's not even the it's not

5
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: even the it's just like yank like just to really

6
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: really be as offensive as possible. Hey, Dan, So do

7
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: we actually think that the cease fire deal is going

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: to last? I mean, to get to them to this point, right,

9
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: and this has been going on for ages to get

10
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: them to this point, suggested.

11
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 2: It might do well. It might. But you know, there

12
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: was a reporter who I was reading one of the

13
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: blogs earlier today and I jotted this down because I

14
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: think it sums up things to a tea. It said,

15
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 2: tactical battlefield success in absence of political or diplomatic arrangements

16
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: cannot bring lasting security. And you're, well, hold it. What

17
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: does that mean? I think we're going to have to

18
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 2: wait and see. I mean, is this going to bring

19
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: Trump the showman who comes in and takes over from

20
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: Joe Biden in six seven weeks and tries to extend

21
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: this agreement, or is it going to be Trump the

22
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: diplomat who brings in people with more experience to try

23
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: and negotiate something that will last, because honestly, I mean,

24
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: there's still so much bad blood between these two. I

25
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: mean it's to imagine this thing lasting for any length

26
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: of time.

27
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: It feels very much like Biden has got a spine

28
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: only because Trump is coming in. Does it not feel

29
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: like that to you? Yeah?

30
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. I mean I think this is

31
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: you know, as he said, he wants to renew is

32
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 2: push to try and secure a ceasefire in a hostage

33
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: deal there, and I think this he'd like this to

34
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: be part of his legacy. But as we mentioned, and

35
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 2: you just heard of the world wires right there, the

36
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: caveats from what I understand, I mean, Israel forces won't

37
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: pull out immediately, They've got some two months or something

38
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: like that. And second, we don't know how Israel's going

39
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: to respond if there's violations to this. I mean, both

40
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: Israel and Lebanon, can you know, have they retain the

41
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: right of self defense under international law?

42
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: Yeah? But on the Biden thing, I mean, I'm fascinated

43
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: by this because the minute that Trump wins, all of

44
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's okay for Ukraine to start firing American

45
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: made missiles into Russia, when that was not okay this

46
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: whole time, last eighteen months, and now all of a

47
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: sudden he's managed to get a cease fire. Where was

48
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: the urgency beforehand?

49
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think I think Biden's been trying

50
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: for some time, but I think he had a step

51
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: up his game, especially with net and Yahoo and Trump

52
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: having this relationship that they've had on and off recently.

53
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: And you know, Trump has said that he was going

54
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: to come in and he was going to solve the

55
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: Mid East crisis day one of his administration. But of

56
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: course he said that about a number of things. It's

57
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 2: going to be a busy, a busy day one for

58
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: him when he when he gets in office in January.

59
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: Now, speaking of Trump, what's Mexico ahead to say about

60
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: the straights of the tariff CIEs today?

61
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: Oh boy, they're not happy with this. I mean, Mexico

62
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 2: isn't happy, China is not happy, Canada is not happy.

63
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: I mean, if you look at California where I'm based

64
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: right now, we've got the fifth biggest economy in the world,

65
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 2: and you've got Mexico and China and Canada ranking as

66
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: the state's top three export markets, not to mention importing.

67
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: So if this continues, and you hike up the prices

68
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: by twenty five percent or more. I mean, are people

69
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 2: going to stop buying? Our country is going to stop

70
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 2: sending things are away? Are we going to have to

71
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: go and find somebody else to trade with right now?

72
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: Especially with Mexico? And you're dealing not with just clothes

73
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 2: and food that's coming across the border, but electronics and

74
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: cars too.

75
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: Yeah. How bad is it for Rudy? What's up?

76
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: Oh boy? Speaking of money? Uh? Not good? I mean

77
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: he was in court again today and part of this

78
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: case is collecting. I mean, this goes back to the

79
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: Georgia election workers that he famed when he was challenging

80
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: the election results a few years back. He owes one

81
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: hundred and forty six million dollars in this judgment case,

82
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 2: and he said, I'm broke. I can't pay my bills.

83
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: I don't have the cash, I don't have credit cards.

84
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, how are you going to

85
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: pay one hundred and forty six million dollars back? Ever?

86
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 2: Let alone, you're you know, eighty something, and everything's been

87
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: tied up by the courts, and the judge says, I'm

88
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: not having this. He says, you can change attorneys. You

89
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: can try stalling about this, but he says you've had time.

90
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: He says, you haven't brought papers in for your car

91
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: or your five million dollar home right now. And you know,

92
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: I mean in the meantime, the man who he backed,

93
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, has been awfully quiet. Well, this has been

94
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: going on him. He's been keeping his distance and Giuliani.
