1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends at Eye Insurance, Peace of mind

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: for New Zealand business.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 2: You f correspondent Miss McCann is, whoever's now kyoda?

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, Jack.

5
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 2: So, more than two hundred people are now known to

6
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: have died as a result of Hurricane Helene, and up

7
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: to one thousand active duty soldiers are going to be

8
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: joining the North Carolina National Guard.

9
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is still a developing situation, Jack. Joe Biden,

10
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: the President, actually traveled to Florida today and Georgia to

11
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: surveying the damage from Hurricane Helene, a major disaster in

12
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: which you said two hundred and fifteen people have now died.

13
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: Helene is the second deadliest hurricane to hit the US

14
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: mainland in fifty years, after Hurricane Katrina, and the scenes

15
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 1: of devastation, particularly in places like North Carolina, are horrendous.

16
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: Joe Binding acknowledged in his words, he said it was

17
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: a situation where residents have been through hell. Right now,

18
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: hundreds of people are still missing and many still remain

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: without power.

20
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, obviously this is a humanitarian crisis, but

21
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: there is political risk with all of this as well,

22
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: with an election so close.

23
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's very much the case. Both presidential candidates Kamala

24
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: Harris and Donald Trump have been in these states in

25
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: the last couple of days, and Donald Trump has actually

26
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: seized on this for political gain. He posted on social media, Jack,

27
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are universally being given Paul

28
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: grades for the way they are handling the hurricane, especially

29
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: in North Carolina. However, there has been bipartisan support actually

30
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: for the way Joe Biden has handled this, with many

31
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: Republican governors praising him.

32
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 2: Speaking of the campaign trail, Milania Trump has signaled her

33
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 2: support for abortion access.

34
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, very interesting. Donald Trump boasted about his role in

35
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: overturning Roe v. Way, that is, the women's constitutional right

36
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 1: here in the US to an abortion. He's been calling

37
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: it a miracle in previous months, but recently he's been

38
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: dodging questions over abortion, frequently referring to it as an

39
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: issue for the states, not the federal government. However, it

40
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: seems that may be it odds who has views generally

41
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: on abortion with his wife, Milania. After The Guardian published

42
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: a paragraph from her new book, which is about to

43
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: come out, Millennia Trumps he's restricting a woman's right to

44
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: choose whether to terminate an unwonted pregnancy is the same

45
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: as denying her control over her own body, So it

46
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: might be some interesting conversations in the trumb household.

47
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, CNN has reached out to Millennia Trump's book publisher

48
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: to try and get an interview. Obviously, CNN and the

49
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: Trump campaign are usually pretty antagonistic towards each other, and

50
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: they got an interesting response.

51
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 1: They certainly did. They said they've been talking for weeks

52
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: or CNN said that they've been talking for weeks about

53
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: an interview with Millenia Trump, and then they revealed that

54
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: last week the publisher sent them an agreement to sign

55
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: that said CNN shall pay a licensing fee of two

56
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand dollars. That's a very expensive interview

57
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: jack for days later, when CNN followed up looking to

58
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 1: do a potential story on this, they said, neither Millennia

59
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: nor anyone from her team knew anything about this, and

60
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: the document it was sent it was an internal miscommunication,

61
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 1: So a bit of a backdown there.

62
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: All right, Hey, thanks for that, Mitch, We appreciate it.
