Speaker 1: International correspondence with ens and eye insurance, peace of mind

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: for New Zealand business.

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 2: I mean, what's the lesson in that? Don't go back

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 2: to your ex and if your friend is going back

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: to the ex, stop them from going back to the X.

6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: And you never need any other example to throw at

7
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 2: them other than benefit. She tried, and look he was

8
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,799
Speaker 2: a dick. The whole way through with us now is

00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: Logan Church TV and Z one uses US correspondent.

10
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: Hey, Logan, good evening.

11
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: How good was Michelle Obama?

12
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: Well, the Republicans may have had Hogan at their convention

13
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: just over a month ago, but the Democrats, well they

14
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: had Michelle and Barack Obama, and boy, oh boy, did

15
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: they raise the roof tonight. In particular, they took aim

16
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: at Donald Trump Barack Obama talking about Trump's intentions going

17
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: into this election. But I think the biggest applause of

18
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: the night actually went to Michelle Obama. It was an

19
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: electric in there when she spoke. Now, she's always been

20
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: a bit of a somewhat reluctant campaigner over the years,

21
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: but she spoke for almost twenty minutes and spent most

22
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: of it on Trump, dealing out some absolute Zingers one

23
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: of them. She said, and I'm going to quote here here,

24
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: when we see a mountain in front of us, we

25
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: don't expect there to be an escalator to take us

26
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: to the top. That, of course a reference to that

27
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: escalator and Trump Tower that Trump arrived on when he

28
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: first entered the US election race. And that was, as

29
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: you can imagine, met by a roaring laughter and loud applause.

30
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: So really some fiery language in the arena tonight from

31
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 1: the Obamas.

32
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: I mean, given how popular she is and given how

33
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: good she is, how long before we have to wait

34
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 2: for her to do her run?

35
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: Well, she has ruled out politics and running for the presidency. Look,

36
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: you're not the first person to ask that question. A

37
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: lot of people here have been wondering if that's something

38
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama has ever thought about doing. But she's come

39
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: out publicly in the past saying, look, politics was Bragg's thing,

40
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: and I was there to support some. So no, I

41
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: don't think we're going to be seeing a Michelle Obama

42
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: run anytime soon. But look, as America is teaching, many

43
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: things changed by the minute.

44
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: So who knows how was Jacinda when you caught up

45
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: were there was she happy to see you.

46
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know about that, but she was actually

47
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: in the arena itself when the Obamas spoke, so as

48
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: you were discussing this before, she was a part of

49
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: a panel discussion at a Sideline event hosted by the

50
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: Center for American Progress, and she in many ways was

51
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: probably the star guests there, even though there are other

52
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: world leaders and dignitaries there now. In her remark, she

53
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: really drew parallels between Kamla Harris's recent rise to the

54
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: top of the Democratic Party ticker, telling the largely American

55
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: crowd about that time in twenty seventeen where, in her words,

56
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: she walked into work one day and her boss quit

57
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: then nominated her to lead the party into the election

58
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: that was just seven weeks away. And that's a story.

59
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 1: It's become very familiar in America in recent weeks now.

60
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 1: Even though in New Zealand, Jes Sindra Ja's legacy, I

61
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: think it's fair to say is somewhat complicated. You have

62
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: to remember that in America people here who knows only

63
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: two things about New Zealand that's Lord of the Rings

64
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: and Ja Cinda a dirt. She is very popular here.

65
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: She has seen as a great world leader. And it

66
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: was really Selfie's left rice and center when she walked

67
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: in the room. Reminded me of the Sinda mania before

68
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: before she was first elected as Prime minister. So her

69
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: presence here today was certainly no even though her appearance was,

70
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: as you said, at a sideshow events rather than the mainstay.

71
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: Did you get some goss from her on what she's

72
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: up to, like, is she permanently living in the States,

73
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: is she coming home? What's the story is Clark lots

74
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: this girl there.

75
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: She's currently living in Boston, so a little bit further

76
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: north than me. She's involved with a variety of sort

77
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: of think tanks and charities and organizations over here, Liberal

78
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: organizations as well, and that sort of is how she

79
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: ended up being involved in the in the convention events

80
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: here today.

81
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,200
