• 0:00
  Speaker 1: International correspondence with ins and Eye Insurance, peace of mind
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: for New Zealand business. It has time to who the
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: you is, and Kate Fisher joins me. Now, good morning, Kate,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Good morning. So President Trump has confirmed he did have
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: a bit of an angry call with Nick Nahou.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this was on a podcast recording that's been released today,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: and he did say, I will not use the terms,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: but an expletive crazy. He said he did call the
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Israeli leader that in a phone call, and he said
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: that he was a little bit perturbed about Israel's continued
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: fighting with Lebanon, but he acknowledged that they do get
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: on well. He gets on well with his Israeli counterpart,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: calling them both wartime leaders. And then Benjamin Ettania, who
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: has responded and said in an interview on CNBC that
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: sometimes he and Donald Trump have what he describes as
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: tactical disagreements, but that they have common goals and do
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: agree on the main things. But I think this shows
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: just how difficult the situation is. Because Donald Trump wants
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: to see a diplomatic end to this conflict with Iran,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: but Israeli leader Benjaminettan Yahoo isn't so. Keen on that
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: and is pushing for more military action, and that could
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: mean there's a difficulty in how this all ends.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Kate primaries and several states are underway. What are the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: big takeaways? What do we know so far?
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think one of the most interesting things
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: is that one of Donald Trump's endorsed candidates did not win.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: So far this election season, his endorsement has helped end
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: the careers of two Senators, John Cornyn of Texas, Bill
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Cassidy of Louisiana, and a popular Kentucky representative, Thomas Massey
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: because he has supported other candidates. But in this election
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: for governor of Iowa, for the primary, sorry, Donald Trump
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: backed Randy Feinstra and he was beaten by Zach larn
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: And that is the first time in this election season
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: that a Senate, a governor, or a house race that
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump has intervened in has gone against his wishes,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: which does perhaps suggest there is still some pushback within
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: his Republican voting base who doesn't always agree with everything
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: he said, because he has kind of sailed to victory
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: in these other races so far.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Take Sessha, thank you so much for your time this morning.
