1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: Already and this this is the Daily This is the Daily. 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: Ohs oh, now it makes sense. 3 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 2: Good morning and welcome to the Daily OS. It's Wednesday, 4 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 2: the third of July. 5 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:19,799 Speaker 1: I'm Zara, I'm Sam. 6 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 2: The US Supreme Court has ruled that American presidents cannot 7 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 2: be prosecuted for crimes committed while performing official duties. Now, 8 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 2: it's a pretty complex topic, and I know that we 9 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 2: are on day two of talking about the US, but 10 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: it is a big story. So in today's deep Dive, 11 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 2: we're going to discuss how this decision came to be 12 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 2: and why it is so important. Before we get there, though, Sam, 13 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 2: it's making headlines. 14 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: Queensland has announced it will open the state's second permanent 15 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: pill testing site this week. The drug testing facility on 16 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: the Gold Coast opens tomorrow and will also offer testing 17 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: services every Thursday. It comes after the Queensland government launch 18 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: the state's first pill testing facility in Brisbane in April. 19 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: According to Health Minister Shannon Fentsmen, more than half the 20 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 1: drugs tested at the site have led to users voluntarily 21 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: discarding their substance. Fentman said, while there is quote no 22 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: safe way to take illicit drugs, pill testing educates people 23 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: quote to reduce harm and help them make informed choices. 24 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 2: Budget Airlines BONSA has officially gone into liquidation after it 25 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 2: entered voluntary administration earlier in the year. An external accounting 26 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 2: firm was appointed to wind up business operations back in May, 27 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 2: and last month over three hundred employees contracts were terminated 28 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 2: after the firm failed to find a buyer to potentially 29 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 2: bail out the airline. Bonza workers are now eligible for 30 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 2: compensation under federal fare work entitlements. The Transport Workers' Union 31 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 2: estimates the employees are owed nearly eleven million dollars in 32 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 2: wages and redundancy payments. 33 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: At least thirty nine people have been killed during violent 34 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: protests in Kenya. Riots broke out last month in response 35 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: to the government's plans to introduce new tax legislation. More 36 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: than three hundred and fifty people have been injured in 37 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: protests since that's according to Kenya's National Commission on Human Rights. 38 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: The government has since scrapped its plans to raise taxes. However, 39 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: the violence is still continuing. The Human Rights Commission said 40 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: over six hundred people have now been arrested, and it 41 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: called on Kenyon lawmakers to quote facilitate the rights of 42 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: protesters while ensuring law and order. 43 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 2: In today's good news, researchers have discovered evidence of an 44 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 2: ancient First Nation's ritual within a limestone cave in Victoria. 45 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 2: Traditional owners and archaeologists found two buried mini fireplaces and 46 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 2: wooden sticks smeared with what could be kangaroof at dating 47 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: back twelve thousand years to the last Ice Age. The 48 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 2: findings could be evidence of the oldest culturally transmitted ritual 49 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 2: ever recorded. So Sam, when we were thinking about what 50 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: to do for today's pod, there was a bit of 51 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 2: resistance to day two of American politics. 52 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: It is rare that we do the same kind of 53 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: area of the news two days in a row. 54 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 2: It is, but you can't really skip this story like 55 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 2: we were looking at the other stories. There were some 56 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: really interesting ones, but no story I think today is 57 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 2: bigger than this one, which is about a Supreme Court 58 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 2: decision in the US and essentially the highest court in 59 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 2: the land has ruled that American presidents cannot be prosecuted 60 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 2: for crimes committed while performing official duties. Now, the decision 61 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 2: in the Supreme Court means that Donald Trump is unlikely 62 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 2: to face charges for allegedly attempting to overthrow the twenty 63 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 2: twenty US election. We'll get into that a bit later. 64 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 2: His lawyers argued that the former US president was entitled 65 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 2: to presidential immunity during his time in office, and that 66 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: is this protection that shields individuals from legal action. And 67 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 2: it's been this whole big hooha, and here we are. 68 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: And the first thing I think about when you outline 69 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: this story is actually Survivor on television, because I have 70 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: in my whole life. So they have an immunity necklace. 71 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: And if you have that necklace on, you can't be 72 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: voted off. 73 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 2: Amazing. Does Donald Trump have a necklace? 74 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: Well, that's kind of my question to you, is in 75 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: this context, what do you mean when you're talking about immunity. 76 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 2: Look, I didn't have written here an example from Survivor, 77 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 2: but I will upcate my notes. I instead had examples 78 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 2: of immunity that apply to people like diplomats or government officials. 79 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 2: Like immunity, this idea of protection or being shielded from 80 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 2: the law is not, by any means a novel or 81 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 2: a new concept. It's just traditionally not been applied in 82 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: the US. So if we take another example, King Charles Third, 83 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: who is, of course the Commonwealth's head of state. He 84 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 2: is immune from civil and criminal proceedings. But in the 85 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 2: US Constitution there is no such explicit immunity granted for 86 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 2: its head of state, the president, so no president had 87 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 2: the same immunity that someone like King Charles would have. 88 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 2: Since the US broke away from British rule in seventeen 89 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 2: seventy six, courts and Congress have debated at various points 90 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 2: where the presidents should be immune from legal proceedings and 91 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 2: whether they should have those same protections as the Commonwealth 92 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 2: affords their head of state. 93 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: And it's not a particularly frequent discussion because it's not 94 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: particularly frequent that you do have a president who has 95 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: committed crimes, and that discussion almost isn't necessary in most 96 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: presidential terms. With Donald Trump, it's a bit different, though. 97 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 2: It is so as we've spoken about a number of 98 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 2: times on this podcast before, Donald Trump is currently facing 99 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 2: a number of different criminal charges. So there are four 100 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 2: separate sets of criminal charges that he's currently looking at. 101 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 2: One case relates to secret White House documents that were 102 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 2: allegedly found in his Florida home mar Lago earlier this year. 103 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 2: He was found guilty of falsifying business records to cover 104 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 2: up hush money paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels, 105 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: and will throw a link to an episode we did 106 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 2: that story in today's show notes. The other two cases 107 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 2: that Trump is facing at the moment relate to his 108 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: alleged efforts to overturn his twenty twenty election loss, and 109 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: that was of course to Joe Biden. Now, I just 110 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: want to zero in on those two cases for a second, 111 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 2: because those are the important ones for the sake of 112 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: this podcast. So as a refresher. After losing the twenty 113 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 2: twenty election, Trump was accused of spreading false claims and 114 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 2: obstructing the transition of power to President Joe Biden. 115 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 3: I know that everyone here will soon be marching over 116 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 3: to the Capitol Building to peacefully make your voices heard. 117 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 3: Today we will see whether Republicans stand strong for integrity 118 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 3: of our elections. 119 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 2: Now, Trump's lawyers said that he was immune from criminal 120 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 2: prosecution because he was president at the time that he 121 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 2: committed these alleged defenses. Not everyone agreed, and the matter 122 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 2: was ultimately escalated to America's highest court, the Supreme Court. 123 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 2: And that brings us to now, when the Supreme Court 124 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 2: handed down its decision on this. 125 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: Issue, and the time lag between January six happening and 126 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: all of the legal dramas and now makes a lot 127 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: of sense when you think about how complex the US 128 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: judicial system can be. It takes a while for things 129 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: to get to the Supreme Court. But now it's here. 130 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: What was the decision? 131 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 2: Essentially, what the Court found was that presidents have what's 132 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 2: called presumptive immunity for official actions, but not for unofficial actions. Now, 133 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 2: when we're talking about official versus unofficial, this is kind 134 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 2: of the big contentious point, but unofficial actions is considered 135 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 2: things like personal matters or private behavior. Now, it is 136 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 2: a bit tricky here to understand if this presumptive immunity 137 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 2: will actually apply to Donald Trump. Because of this difference 138 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 2: between official and unofficial, it's not one hundred percent clear 139 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 2: whether that applies in this case. So what will happen 140 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 2: now is that Donald Trump's case, as I said, is 141 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 2: still in front of the courts, and it's now up 142 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 2: to the judge who is overseeing that case to determine 143 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 2: whether the acts that Trump is accused of in the 144 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 2: indictment are official or. 145 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: Not because they're quite subjective terms, right, Like, I know 146 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: that you and I are judges, but it's going to 147 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: be an interesting one as they try and weigh up 148 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: what does professional actually mean. 149 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, there's not a whole lot of precedent 150 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 2: here to be expected, but it will form a huge 151 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 2: precedent in the courts and it will have very wide 152 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 2: ranging implications. If the judge on the case does decide 153 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 2: that this does count as official and therefore Trump is 154 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 2: protected by this presumptive immunity, it will be fascinating in 155 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 2: terms of what that actually means. I know, everyone's minds 156 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 2: are on the election, So legal experts do say that 157 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 2: the decision will likely delay Trump's trials further, and that 158 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 2: could mean that if Trump does win the US election, 159 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 2: he could eventually just force the charges against him to 160 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 2: be dropped. 161 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: Right, So there are some pretty major implications in terms 162 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: of the timeline that's now ahead of us up to November. 163 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. So there's now this new doctrine that's been 164 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 2: introduced by the Supreme Court in its decision, and that 165 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 2: could mean that the decision gets pushed back and push back, 166 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 2: and of course post November it's anyone's game. 167 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: He could be president again, but I just want to 168 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,839 Speaker 1: stick with this decision. So how did the court vote here? 169 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 2: Yees? So it's always important to discuss the makeup of 170 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 2: the Supreme Court. I think it's always quite a foreign 171 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 2: concept for US Australians to understand the political and the 172 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 2: kind of politicization of the Supreme Court. So the Supreme 173 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 2: Court's decision was split six ' three between conservative and 174 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 2: liberal justices. Now always important to note who those people are. 175 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: So three of the six conservative justices were appointed during 176 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 2: Trump's presidency and on the flip side, one of the 177 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 2: liberal justices was appointed under President Biden. Now, obviously the 178 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 2: majority voted in favor, and there is this conservative leaning 179 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 2: in the court. So it does follow that usually in 180 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 2: this case now decisions will skew towards a conservative outcome, 181 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 2: as we've seen with Roe v. Wade and a number 182 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 2: of other issues. But on the other side of it, 183 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 2: we had those judges who dissented, people like Justice Sonya 184 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 2: Sodomayor who voted against the presumptive immunity and she said 185 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 2: the president is now a king above the law, very 186 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 2: strong quote there. She noted, the US president is possibly 187 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 2: the most powerful person in the world. And said when 188 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 2: he uses his official powers in any way, he will 189 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 2: now be insulated from criminal prosecution orders to assassinate a 190 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 2: political rival, Immune organizes a military coup to hold on 191 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 2: to power. Immune takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon. Immune. 192 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: That's some really strong language from the U. S. Supreme Court. Now, 193 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: of course, you can understand because the stakes are really 194 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: high here because he is running for president again. Did 195 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: we hear any reaction from the current president, President Biden, 196 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: his opponent yesterday? 197 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 2: We did so. Biden held a press conference shortly after 198 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 2: the decision was handed down, and I'll just play a 199 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 2: little bit of what he said. 200 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: America people must decide they want to entrust the presidency 201 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: to Donald Trump now, knowing he'll be more emboland to 202 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: do whatever he pleases whenever he wants to do it. 203 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure I know the answers to this one. 204 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: But did Donald Trump come out and say anything after 205 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: the decision as well? 206 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 2: He did so. He posted two truth social which is 207 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 2: his social media platform, and he called the ruling a 208 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 2: big win for our constitution and for democracy. 209 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: I can't help but remember a comment that you and 210 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 1: I made on this podcast A couple of months ago 211 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: where we described the upcoming election as legal. It's a 212 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: legal election, and it's uncharacteristic for a US election to 213 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: be so dominated by these legal issues and by how 214 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: many times we probably will talk about the court system 215 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,359 Speaker 1: in the run up to this election, and it introduces 216 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: a really interesting dynamic into the race. 217 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 2: It does. I think the thing that keeps coming back 218 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 2: for me, though, is that you can still run as 219 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 2: president with criminal charges held against you, and even if 220 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: you are convicted, you can still run. And I think 221 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,359 Speaker 2: that you know, all of this kind of legal fanfare, 222 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 2: to me, that is the prevailing thought that no matter 223 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 2: what happens, even if you know he's not immune, he 224 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 2: is still able to run for president. And I find 225 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 2: that a pretty remarkable feature of the US political system. 226 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a pretty remarkable year 227 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 1: in the US political system.
