Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dan Mitchison, UIs correspondent is with us?
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Now, Hey, Dan, can I just say real quick that
I'm a little nervous this time around because a couple
of days ago I was just talking to plan old Heather,
But today I'm talking to the broadcast lame yeah, and
I am graduate.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
You know what your lameness comes from, such a nice
part of your heart. I just love it so much.
Thank you. Incidentally, incidentally, I apparently haven't grown up at
all according to this text, OMG, hither you do come
across as childish at times? Is it really necessary that
you get baited by during an award or Noah, warn
you're not cool?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Well whatever, don't ever stop being who you are?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
What makes you special?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
That's right, you hear that text out? Thank you, Daniel. Wonderful. Now,
speaking of childish, who's going to win this? It's going
to be Elon, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
You would think so. I mean, it's hard to believe
I was thinking about this before we went on that,
you know, a decade ago, to think that we'd be
talking about something that's like a schoolyard fight, a name
calling fight right now instead of the two most powerful
people in the world so must today is saying that
President Trump would have lost the election without his support.
Trump saying he is disappointed, as you just heard on
the world wires with criticism of the new bill. And
(01:10):
then you had the former White House official Steve Bannett
who said President Trump should investigate Musk's immigration status and
get him out of the country.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
He's just trying to become involved as an East like
he's trying to.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Keep himself into this. Yeah, yeah, I think he's just
trying to write on the coattails, get a little FaceTime
on the on the evening news. And then of course
Musk comes out just a short time ago and says
President Trump has highest to the whole Jeffrey Epstein the situation,
and I mean this gets personally. I mean, he went
on X he said, time to drop the really big bomb.
He said Trump is in the files and this is
the real reason they haven't been many public So, oh
(01:43):
my gosh, I mean, you just this is the way
we're ending the week.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Do you think this is fair? If that is not,
If what he has said about Trump being in the
Epstein files is not true, then Donald will sue. And
if Donald doesn't sue then it's true.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yes, one would think so, although even when something is true,
one finds that the president wants to go after whoever
it is that's making the accusations just because it deflects
a lot. But boy, you're right. I mean, if this,
if there is even a little bit of smoke on this,
there's gonna be a lot of fires we get into
the weekend shows the.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Thing that the thing that I can't decide is I
don't I don't think Trump wins this. So either Elon
wins this or it's mutually assured destruction. And I wonder
if it's the letter, and I wonder if that's what
the Tasla shareholders are seeing here.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I think you're right, because I mean the shares have
just dropped tremendously. I mean they're down, you know, thirty
forty fifty percent or so. And that's why the board
members have been saying, hey, you've got to get back.
You know, eyes on the prize right here. This is
where the money's being made. But you know, this isn't
just about Tesla. This is also about the space program,
and these two are just going to nobody's going to
come out a winner in this, I think you reckon.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
So do you think it's mutually assured destruction?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I think I think it is. I mean, somebody will
come out and say they're a winner. Actually both of
them will come out and say they're a winner at
the end of the day. But it's it's hard to say.
I know, really, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Okay, now, how's this gone down? This travel band that
Trump is doing as well?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Well, depending on how you look at it. I mean,
it could be straightforward. You've got twelve countries, mostly African
and Middle Eastern, and he says that that the goal
is to block terrorism and target those who overstay their visas.
But then you have a lot of people who are
saying that, okay, we don't understand a lot of the
fine print here. This is going to be harder trying
to get a straight answer. A lot of questions about
extended stays and the visas, and the immigration rights groups
(03:29):
say they're going to sue over this, and they're going
to lose because they say this this ban is actually
stronger than the last ban the President Trump put into
effect during his first term.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Hey have you ever had your Walmart shopping delivered by drone?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I will never have my Walmart shopping delivered by a drone.
I cannot imagine having. I can't imagine having anything. I mean,
five pounds is the maximum right now, at least that
they're allowed to do. And they're doing this in Dallas
Fort Worth, and they're rolling this out to one hundred
maybe two hundred stores in the next year, right, Yeah,
And you've got people in a factory and in a
matter of minutes, they're going to have these things shipped
(04:04):
out and they can be to your place in thirty
minutes or less. Question I'm asking Heather, is you need drones,
You need drone pilots. All of this adds up. So
the question is ken these become a truly profitable business. Well,
I don't know if they can.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
In time. In time, everything becomes cheaper, right, so possibly
in time it might.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah, it might. I mean I just can't see a
bunch of these things flying overhead, and you know, somebody's
going to drop something on someone and there's going to
be a massive lawsuit. Yeah, everybody's going to be looking
up and they should be looking straight ahead.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It's America, after all. Hey did you cry when you
went to Coldplay?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I did? Cry. I cried a lot.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, oh, thank you for the recommendation. Yes, very good.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Is it, as I said to you, one of the
best concerts you will even go to in your whole life.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I am still listening. When I go to a concert
that I like, I just get I get home and
I start listening to the music over and over again
and reliving it. And you're right. It's probably one of
the top two or three concerts I've ever been.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Pretty amazing at. It's pretty nicy. Dan, Thank you so much.
