Rich Reynolds is back hey boss how you
0:03
doing good to be back well well what a
0:06
time for you to go on holiday last my
0:08
goodness it was a bad time to go away
0:10
did I miss anything no well I'm not
0:12
quite sure really did I miss nothing
0:13
very much was going on to be honest
0:15
really you um wow uh yeah I mean you
0:18
know you were in France but I'm guessing
0:20
everywhere everybody was wowing over the
0:24
events scene in the United States no it
0:26
was crazy and so what I missed was so
0:28
when I left uh England uh had a
0:31
different prime minister and a different
0:33
government Spain hadn't won the Euro Cup
0:36
a British cyclist won the Tour to
0:39
France yay uh in the US the Republicans
0:43
anointed Donald Trump and a guy who's
0:45
who says he's a hillbilly as vice
0:47
president as his candidate and
0:49
everything looked great for them after
0:51
their convention in Milwaukee and it
0:52
looked like they were going to kind of
0:54
roll and then uh Joe Biden got Co
0:57
dropped out of the race and appointed uh
1:00
uh KLA Harris as his uh uh in uh his uh
1:05
President elect in Waiting um so Harris
1:08
so everybody might know this is a she's
1:11
a mixed race woman of of a black father
1:13
and an Indian mother and so they're
1:16
going to face off in November in the
1:17
world's most famous misogynistic bigot
1:21
so let's go well the last time he had to
1:24
go up against a woman it was Hillary
1:27
Clinton and um he wasn't very nice to
1:29
her was he no and it's going to get it's
1:31
going to get really nasty we think uh
1:34
and there's going to be a ra a lot of uh
1:37
uh a lot of racial stuff and a lot of
1:39
things about her being a woman and and I
1:42
I hope they keep it kind of keep it
1:43
clean but it you know the smart money
1:45
says no it isn't going to be it's going
1:47
to be kind of nasty but I think she's up
1:49
to it I mean she was a prosecutor she's
1:51
pretty it's the prosecutor against the
1:52
Felon I've seen that in a lot of
1:54
American headlines it is and I'm telling
1:56
you and she is she is one tough bird and
1:59
I uh and and uh I know we're going to
2:01
get into it now but I'll tell you the uh
2:04
uh the the whole Democratic party has
2:07
just been lifted up by this um because a
2:10
decision was finally made because it was
2:11
clear that Joe was uh not up to the test
2:14
you know when it when they said he had
2:16
Co I was thinking this is going to be
2:17
the one they're this is how this is how
2:19
they're going to do it I know I know but
2:22
you know we had some some severe doubts
2:24
whether Trump got even got shot I have a
2:25
friend who's a makeupart there are those
2:28
there are those theories well we I have
2:30
a friend who's a makeup artist in
2:32
Hollywood and worked on some really
2:34
really big series and and big movies and
2:37
my wife contacted her and said does that
2:40
blood on his ear look kind of fake she
2:42
goes I was thinking that too it looks
2:45
absolutely fake if I was doing work like
2:47
this I'd be fired so I don't know he he
2:50
was probably shot but uh a little quite
2:54
a good act to then because he didn't
2:55
seem to be well pooing his pants when he
2:58
was on the ground and then but then when
2:59
he came up you know and and did the
3:01
T-shirt yeah and then he asked where his
3:03
shoes were how was that was that how
3:05
that look stage that I don't know a
3:08
little bit on the phony side but we'll
3:10
give him the benefit of the doubt and
3:11
what about yesterday we were hearing or
3:13
we we'll get to that a little bit
3:14
further down the line won't we um you're
3:17
you're steering the ship yeah yeah okay
3:19
all right she's looking forward Cela
3:22
Harris to uh accepting the Democratic
3:24
nomination um we hadn't got Nancy Pelosi
3:27
until late last night she's now on board
3:30
I didn't quite understand what her
3:32
advisers were saying she didn't want to
3:33
be king maker so she waited yeah what
3:36
she was waiting to see she was exactly
3:39
that that that's a little disingenuous I
3:40
think she just she just wanted to see
3:42
which way the wind was blowing and and
3:44
you know with with Chuck Schumer who was
3:46
the the uh in in charge in the Senate
3:50
and and um a lot of the other people who
3:53
were very high up in the party she just
3:54
wanted to make sure if you hadn't hadn't
3:56
said anything at that point Gretchen
3:58
Whitmer hadn't pulled out either that's
4:00
right and the Obamas didn't say straight
4:02
Obama really he hasn't endorsed anybody
4:04
no he hasn't no but I think he's well
4:06
there maybe a lot of people are hoping
4:08
well maybe Michelle will go for it but
4:10
she's always said she wouldn't well she
4:11
doesn't need the money she's got more
4:14
she's got more money than God why would
4:15
you do that to yourself who wants that
4:17
job right now she does what she wants
4:19
she goes where she wants you know and
4:21
she's got a lot of money you know and
4:23
she's producing movies in Hollywood yeah
4:26
I'm I'm think I'm there's got to be some
4:28
kind of democratic process I think that
4:30
that's where we're we're heading I don't
4:32
want to jump in and do all of our
4:34
stories all in one go of course but but
4:36
it's but this has never happened before
4:37
and so that's why everybody's kind of
4:39
feeling around because it is the last
4:41
time this happened politics anywhere in
4:42
the world this you know it's all new
4:44
everything keeps happening that's never
4:45
happened before I know isn't it I know
4:47
and they really didn't didn't know what
4:49
to do and now the Trump campaign is is I
4:51
I know we're going to get to this in in
4:52
a little bit Trump C it was frantic
4:54
because their whole it was all geared up
4:57
everything was geared up to how old Joe
4:58
was and now the old old man in the race
5:01
is Trump indeed so uh we're going to
5:04
we'll we'll see what's happening as we
5:05
go through this thing but uh right so um
5:07
she will accept the Democratic
5:09
nomination should it come she's got
5:11
enough delegates supporting her now she
5:13
does she's got about uh almost 2200 and
5:16
she needs uh I think she needed uh 16
5:19
around 1,600 to to be and they did it
5:21
all by I I guess they did it by phone or
5:23
by Zoom or something something like that
5:25
but everybody that was committed to
5:27
Biden is now committed to Harris so it's
5:30
it's a it's pretty much a a layup okay
5:33
so what happens at the Democratic
5:35
Convention in well next month isn't it
5:38
well it's a coronation what happens
5:40
effectively yeah effectively it's a
5:41
coronation Min primary yeah well you
5:43
know yeah but what they do is is uh the
5:46
first couple of days it's four days the
5:48
first couple of days is a bunch of
5:49
speeches about how great she is and by
5:51
then she will have announced the vice
5:53
president uh and how great he or she is
5:57
and then the vice presidential cand
5:59
candidate gives a speech on the third
6:01
day and on the fourth day they take the
6:04
vote and it's pretty much a great a
6:06
given thing it's a great American
6:08
tradition it's they go around the great
6:10
state of Montana cast five State you
6:12
know five votes for you know and
6:14
everybody applauds and then they do this
6:16
50 times more than 50 because they are
6:19
territories like Puerto Rico but they go
6:21
around the room and and uh and then they
6:23
finally say and so by unanimous this
6:26
person is going to be Harris is going to
6:28
be our nomin
6:30
and then she comes out and she gives a
6:31
big speech and that's the end of the
6:32
conference they drop a bunch of balloons
6:34
so it's so that's it she is the
6:36
presumptive she's presumptive
6:38
presumptive she'll be presumptive until
6:41
uh August mid August okay but it's but
6:43
it's it's it's kind of interesting how
6:45
everybody is rallied and you know I have
6:46
a lot of democratic friends huge amount
6:48
of money as well in 24 hours $250
6:51
million in 24 hours that's unprecedented
6:54
that's Bay that's that's B that's Bay
6:57
radio money that is yeah we'd all be
7:00
anyway let's not go no that's another
7:02
thing no and that isn't that you know
7:04
that sort of money has never been raised
7:06
before in the presidential campaign I
7:07
don't think so it hasn't absolutely
7:09
hasn't think in that short a period I
7:12
think everybody is uh everybody on the
7:14
Democratic side is just excited about
7:16
having uh a candidate who's got a lot of
7:18
energy who's really sharp there were a
7:20
lot of size of relief weren't there I
7:22
think a lot you know because it just got
7:24
worse and worse didn't it you know ining
7:27
president zalinski as President Putin um
7:30
you know and when actually calling Kam
7:32
vice president Trump as well you know I
7:34
mean it's sad and every time you saw him
7:36
awful he looked worse worse he looked
7:40
robotic and and like his hands were
7:42
Frozen and uh uh that being said I I
7:45
need to go on record as saying I think
7:48
he's been a great president I think he's
7:50
done a wonderful job he's accomplished a
7:52
lot the infrastructure is better there
7:54
you know he he couldn't do much about
7:55
inflation it was it was bad but you know
7:58
what as I point out to everybody my
8:00
friends back in the States and anybody
8:01
listening back in the States you know
8:03
what inflation was bad in in Spain in
8:06
France in Germany post pandemic every
8:08
everywhere everywhere jobs are back jobs
8:11
are back and I remember you know talking
8:13
to my brother and one time and he goes
8:15
well you know gas is like 350 a gallon
8:17
here and I go gas is $6 a gallon here so
8:20
shut up you know it's like like it's all
8:23
relative it's all right Joe Biden did
8:25
not create inflation it's not his
8:27
problem he didn't he didn't do that I
8:29
think were concerns about his legacy and
8:31
this was the time I suppose to to
8:33
protect and preserve his legacy uh for
8:36
future years it to to to go now I mean
8:38
he couldn't really it wasn't it was
8:40
getting to the point where he either had
8:41
to do it or or not and you have to have
8:43
push on which absolutely you know what
8:45
would have happened then anyway it's I
8:47
like I said mostly size of relief I from
8:49
what I can imagine um amongst Democrats
8:52
so of course there is another battle to
8:55
go another thing to be sorted out and
8:58
that's running mate is isn't it yeah
9:00
there are a lot the good thing about uh
9:03
the Democratic party right now is that
9:05
uh they have a lot of Ben strong
9:06
contenders very strong contenders but I
9:09
think when you look at it it's going to
9:10
be I mean I have somebody that I think
9:13
is is going to be the candidate it's not
9:15
the person if you remember what what
9:17
happened when Obama needed a running
9:19
mate he chose Joe Biden you know the
9:21
elderly white Statesman yeah um because
9:24
eventually he became the first black
9:26
American president you know Cala now has
9:29
you know you would say a lot against her
9:32
in some people's eyes because she's a
9:33
woman because she has Asian and um and
9:36
black American uh uh parents and and so
9:39
her Heritage might be against her unless
9:42
you get I'm sorry to say this in this
9:43
way but it's it's absolute truth you
9:45
know unless you get a strong um senior
9:48
white Democrat male in as the running
9:51
mate yeah I think that's the way it's
9:54
going to shake out I think you you're
9:55
saying it's not it's not who you would
9:57
perhaps go for because probably is a
9:58
better contender however under the
10:00
circumstances I'm a I'm a big fan of of
10:02
of a couple of the people who are in
10:04
line and one of them is Gretchen Whitmer
10:05
from theate a couple weeks ago really
10:08
sharp really really sharp person but the
10:11
chances of two women being elected is is
10:14
in my lot of Americans who won't vote
10:16
for a woman we know that from that's
10:17
right you know that's right and and but
10:19
when I look at at two women running I'm
10:22
going I don't think they're I they want
10:24
to be the Democrats want to be bold when
10:26
they chose Obama that was a really bold
10:28
Choice come Harris was a really bold
10:30
choice I don't know how bold they want
10:32
to be there's a guy named Josh Shapiro
10:34
who's the governor of Pennsylvania which
10:36
is a swing state meaning it could go
10:39
anyway and he's very popular but the
10:41
problem is Josh Shapiro is a Jewish man
10:44
I don't know how bold they're going to
10:46
be because there might be that bias uh I
10:49
think there uh another smart money and
10:53
he came out of nowhere is a guy named
10:54
Mark Kelly who is a former astronaut and
10:57
he is uh he's a I believe he's still a
11:00
junior senator from Arizona he's been
11:02
Senator about five or six years really
11:04
sharp guy uh probably around 50ish or so
11:08
um really really you know sharp as
11:11
attack but I I believe the ultimate
11:13
choice is going to be a guy named Andy
11:14
Basher who's out the the governor of
11:17
Kentucky who's very popular Kentucky is
11:19
not a swing state it's very red but he
11:22
is a he is a liberal governor in a in a
11:26
conservative State he's very popular and
11:28
he's you know he's not an elder
11:30
Statesman he's only 46 but he's really
11:33
well-liked and uh actually amongst the
11:35
leading names that have come out there
11:37
isn't really an elder Statesman amongst
11:39
them I wouldn't have thought I mean
11:40
there are some seasoned people who have
11:42
held office transport secretary you know
11:44
Pete big he he's um he's perhaps the
11:47
most well-known I would imagine for uh
11:49
listeners outside of the states yeah
11:52
there's a um there there is a a guy
11:54
named Roy Cooper from North Carolina
11:56
that people are high on but I believe 67
11:59
he's 67 and I don't think she's 59 and
12:02
but she I think I think KLA Harris plays
12:05
young I don't think she looks 59 I think
12:08
she's very energetic and very sparkly
12:11
and uh she's very charismatic and I as
12:14
as you
12:15
know whether it's in the UK or it's in
12:18
the US Car Charisma wins every time if
12:21
somebody is smart charismatic the John F
12:23
Kennedy types the Barack Obama I mean
12:26
Obama just swept the country you know
12:28
you may not have voted for him but one
12:30
kind of a cool guy you know if you get a
12:32
chance you vote for a cool guy or a cool
12:34
woman uh and I believe that uh that's
12:38
going to that's going to play in uh in
12:40
his so so you mentioned that perhaps the
12:42
running mate isn't going to be who you
12:44
would prefer who would gret and Whitmer
12:46
would be my choice but I don't know if
12:47
it's her time I think Andy Basher is
12:49
going to be the choice whether the the
12:51
Democrats or or the country would accept
12:54
that there are two women um in those
12:56
strong positions of power we we have to
12:58
talk about things you know I don't I
13:00
don't care about whether it is or isn't
13:01
too you know these are real facts and
13:04
these are things that voters look at and
13:06
these are issues that are part of this
13:08
uh campaign well we're talking about
13:10
people's biases and the and the way
13:12
people feel in general we're not these
13:13
are not our opinions our yours in my
13:15
opinion or not this person would be good
13:17
or not it's that this is who we think
13:19
would be uh possibly in the seat but you
13:23
know you know it's always said that uh
13:26
nobody ever voted for a uh for for a
13:29
vice president it's not it's not going
13:31
to it's not going to tip it it's but if
13:33
you look at it and you make a bad choice
13:35
that person becomes fod for the late
13:37
night talk shows and everybody will
13:40
everybody will laugh at them and it's
13:41
you you don't want someone who's a
13:42
liability like Sarah before we go to the
13:45
break though you know you have to
13:47
remember that um pretty much before
13:49
early on you know when when Cala did
13:53
come become vice president she didn't
13:54
get an easy ride there a lot of people
13:56
accused her of Disappearing not really
13:58
saying very much really doing very much
14:00
and then when she did come out and say
14:01
things she was accused of word salad and
14:03
all the she does like to string a long
14:05
sentence together she does she's a
14:06
talker she does you don't always know
14:08
what she talking so and those those are
14:11
some of the the negative sides but um I
14:13
think in certainly what we've seen in
14:15
the last couple of days just lapped into
14:17
it and running away with it yeah she's
14:20
very Dynamic I think and she said so far
14:23
in her what three days of running for
14:25
office she's she said all the right
14:27
things let's see what happens in day
14:28
four day five and day 35 not a bad start
14:33
then for kamla Harris but um it's a bit
14:36
of a big big step uh to get all the way
14:39
isn't it so there's a lot to do well
14:41
she's been yeah she's been she's been
14:43
running a couple of days now we'll see
14:44
what happen she's got Netanyahu coming
14:46
to town today he's speaking to Congress
14:49
I believe tomorrow yeah there aren't any
14:52
meetings today for some no no meetings I
14:54
guess maybe it's he's got jet lag or
14:56
something like that but but I think also
14:58
he's trying to meet Trump TR too that I
15:00
read that oh I didn't hear that not
15:02
today but at some point while he's there
15:04
um yeah and we're not sure about any
15:05
meetings with kamla haris either we
15:08
certainly know that that's not going to
15:09
happen today because she's doing
15:10
something else you know she's uh she's
15:13
uh making a speech at a sorority at a
15:15
university uh somewhere I don't I don't
15:17
know where but uh this is I guess that
15:19
was booked before this right it would be
15:22
unusual for her to be like that you know
15:24
she probably should have cancelled that
15:25
and met with the president of of uh of
15:28
uh the prime minister of Israel but I
15:30
think that things are going to be kind
15:31
of kind of uh little wonky over the next
15:34
couple of months since she's running Joe
15:36
is not he's running the country she is
15:39
not so when dignitaries come to town who
15:41
do you talk to well you're get that
15:43
diary he's a yeah he's a he's a lame
15:45
duck now so that's going to be uh uh did
15:48
they use that term in the UK L we
15:49
understand absolutely what you mean it's
15:51
normally it's normally is applied to a
15:52
lame duck president but um and and the
15:54
Republicans as we understand it are
15:55
probably going to have a go at that the
15:59
thing that's being passed around thanks
16:01
to Mike Johnson who is a a complete tool
16:04
I got to tell you he says if he can't
16:06
run for office he can't run our country
16:08
so he believes and now he's pushing a
16:10
lot of people in the Republican party to
16:12
push Joe Biden out saying they Ming the
16:15
W to here because he'd be gone by by
16:16
January anyway exactly exactly but he
16:18
wanted what he wants to do is I think he
16:19
wants to get it into the courts get get
16:22
get in front of a judge of course it'll
16:24
take forever but getting a judge and
16:26
getting lawyers working on this thing so
16:27
it costs money and and uh the fact that
16:31
that you know you don't think Joe Biden
16:34
has proven conclusively that he's a good
16:36
president that he is that he's able to
16:39
handle the job it's the campaigning
16:41
that's a problem it's it's looking four
16:43
years down the line that's the issue
16:45
that's the complete issue for the party
16:47
right now is where is he going to be
16:48
four years from now and what about what
16:50
about this American uh view then in
16:53
Washington that a presidential candidate
16:55
will never have a better day than the
16:56
one that follows their announcement is
16:58
it going to get difficult for Kam down
17:00
the line I think it's going to get
17:01
Wicked and I I you know hopefully there
17:03
won't be a lot of gaffs in there and
17:05
hopefully every she'll have all her
17:06
disciples out there uh running from uh
17:10
uh campaigning for her on different on
17:12
different platforms but yeah I think
17:14
this is going to get it's going to get
17:15
harder before it gets easier right now
17:17
she's in her honeymoon um she never had
17:19
a honeymoon before because uh you know
17:22
she lost she was running against Joe for
17:25
the for the chair and uh as we know did
17:27
not um did not win the big prize but uh
17:31
yeah she's it's going to be it's going
17:32
to be kind of interesting it's going to
17:34
be a real a real slugfest because as we
17:36
know Trump trump after the after the
17:39
Republican convention felt he had this
17:40
whole thing locked up well I mean it
17:42
would like it was you know it was almost
17:44
Divine you know right to become the next
17:47
president following the assassination
17:49
attack that's certainly the way it went
17:50
down at the convention well yeah here's
17:52
a guy who got shot or did he he got
17:56
shot all people walking around with
17:59
those with the pillows on their ears
18:02
weird what you know the the I guess what
18:04
would you call it the the sympathy Act
18:06
of wearing a bandage of when he showed
18:08
up at the convention and and we were
18:11
sitting there going oh no look at this
18:14
guy you know that because that's the
18:16
first we had seen him right and and he
18:18
kept showing up at the convention to
18:19
make sure everybody was saying nice
18:21
things about him and I thought what a
18:23
guy what what a what a human being this
18:25
guy is but uh he's you know he's now
18:29
he's complaining on Truth social that
18:31
that Biden dropping out is unfair to the
18:34
Republican party it's unfair because
18:36
yeah it's unfair because now they have
18:37
to face a new opponent everything they
18:40
had all their guns were aimed at Biden
18:41
and now they've got to aim it at
18:43
somebody else and they weren't prepared
18:44
for doing that and and as you have may
18:47
have mentioned KLA was not I've got i'
18:49
just got to this is what he what he said
18:51
goad the Democrats pick this is quote
18:53
quotes Okay the Democrat speaker
18:55
candidate crooked Joe Biden he loses the
18:57
debate badly then panics and makes
18:59
mistake after mistake is told he can't
19:01
win and they decide they will pick
19:03
another candidate probably Harris uh
19:05
this is what he posted on Monday they
19:06
stole the race from Biden after he won
19:08
it in the primaries a first these people
19:11
are the real threat to democracy what a
19:14
guy there you go that's what he wrote on
19:15
TR so genuine sore loser so we'll see
19:19
he's rattled then he it does appear that
19:22
he's a little bit rattled and uh you
19:25
know they had all the momentum coming
19:26
out of Milwaukee and now going into
19:29
Chicago in in about 3 weeks the
19:31
Democrats are going to have looks like
19:32
everything will have been shifted toward
19:35
uh toward the Democratic party and maybe
19:37
back and forth and away we go and uh
19:40
we'll see how it goes but it's it's a
19:42
whole new ball game and you know in the
19:44
beginning I thought I wonder if the
19:46
party can get it together for the next
19:48
in in a 100 days you know they've been
19:50
campaigning Joe Biden's been campaigning
19:52
for almost two years and now uh she's
19:56
got a 100 days to to pull it together
19:58
but this is the sort of stuff she's
19:59
going to have to come up against though
20:01
this is more of Truth social written by
20:04
uh former president Trump it's not over
20:06
tomorrow crooked Joe Biden's going to
20:07
wake up and forget that he dropped out
20:09
of the race
20:10
today
20:12
ouch now that may be true I don't know
20:16
probably not but uh yeah that's that's
20:18
it's going to get really really
20:20
interesting before it gets
20:22
uninteresting okay yeah certainly a huge
20:25
job ahead of CA Harris there's plenty of
20:28
issues that she'll be needing to deal
20:30
with uh not least you know ethnicity the
20:33
fact that she's a woman and all of the
20:34
political issues as well um so we'll see
20:37
how it goes and we'll we'll keep a
20:39
breast of things uh between now and well
20:41
it's just we haven't got long to wait
20:43
have we till the Democratic Convention
20:44
we don't it's a just a couple of weeks I
20:46
think it's uh August 12th I want to say
20:49
somewhere around there right what about
20:51
this uh visit then from benam Netanyahu
20:53
what are we are what are we expecting
20:54
he's definitely going to be received by
20:56
Joe Biden and I W have to to expect
20:59
certainly at some point it would have
21:00
happened anyway that he would have met
21:01
the vice president yeah he he's going to
21:03
talk to Biden we know that privately
21:05
there's no I would think that he talk to
21:06
the two of them together so they're so
21:08
they're singing off the same Himel but
21:10
apparently not so he well actually if
21:13
you think about it um that hasn't always
21:14
happened anyway with Ukraine because
21:17
Harris has made quite a few trips a
21:18
number of trips to UK right on her own
21:20
you're right about that but in this case
21:22
she's going to talk to Netanyahu
21:24
privately she is more of a hardliner
21:27
than Biden is I mean she really believes
21:29
that the Palestinian people should be
21:31
treated a little bit better she believes
21:32
that that she's with a lot of other
21:34
people there she is with a lot of other
21:36
people and and the people in especially
21:38
places like uh there's a a city in
21:40
Michigan called Dearborn that you've
21:42
probably heard of huge Palestinian uh
21:45
presence up there a lot of Palestinians
21:47
uh and people who are Muslim live up
21:49
there and uh she is singing their tune
21:52
and we need to perhaps talk a little bit
21:53
more about the Republicans as well uh we
21:56
we touched on JD Vance who since were
21:58
last in the studio has been nominated as
22:01
uh Trump's running mate um what do we
22:04
know about it we don't we as Brits we
22:06
don't really know very much about him
22:07
well he's a junior Senator so meaning
22:09
he's only been in the senate for two
22:10
years he represents Ohio which is now a
22:13
red State used to be a swing state is
22:15
now a red State um he is 39 years old um
22:20
he completely subscribes to everything
22:22
Trump says he is he is a disciple
22:26
previously he wasn't no oh he hated
22:27
Trump go go back look go on YouTube look
22:30
up JD Vance and Trump and he goes this
22:32
guy's an idiot I wouldn't do anything
22:34
with him I wouldn't let him babysit my
22:36
dog blah blah blah blah blah and then
22:37
all of a sudden he goes I love
22:38
opportunity to be I love you so much
22:41
I've never loved you more and uh the
22:44
thing is his he authored a book that I
22:47
don't know where how it's sold around
22:49
the world but in the in the states it
22:50
was made into a movie that Ron Howard
22:52
directed so that's pretty big ticket
22:54
stuff called hly elgy so he was quite
22:57
Young when he wrote that is that right
22:58
well I wasn't aware he was 16 but no no
23:00
it was 2016 when 201 wrote it yeah so in
23:03
the book he talks about how he Glen
23:05
Close plays his mother he talks about
23:07
how he was he was raised by hillbilly
23:10
parents in the Appalachians and stuff
23:12
here's the problem okay as they're
23:14
frequently is he's from Middletown Ohio
23:17
which is near Cincinnati it's between
23:19
Cincinnati and Dayton I used to live
23:21
about 100 miles from there that is not
23:24
Appalachia Appalachia is over by West
23:26
Virginia and uh the Western of Virginia
23:29
and Kentucky and and that whole area
23:31
over there North Carolina it is not even
23:33
close to the state of Ohio well it it is
23:35
it's on the other state side of Ohio but
23:37
it's at least 200 miles away he is not a
23:40
hillbilly he was educated uh at Yale he
23:43
is uh already his stories are starting
23:46
to unravel so I think the heat is going
23:48
to be on this guy I think uh he he said
23:51
I'm I'm very disappointed I wanted to uh
23:53
I really wanted to uh uh debate kamla
23:57
Harris really
23:59
I thought he I'd heard that he actually
24:00
didn't want to debate I thought he
24:02
pulled out of being but at one time I
24:05
heard him say I'm disappointed that I
24:06
can't do it maybe he said that
24:07
afterwards but no certainly before I
24:09
know where we are on the timel would
24:11
shred him on the timeline before before
24:13
Joe Biden pulled out of the race he he
24:16
he had he had been asked and he he
24:18
didn't want to debate CA Harris so now
24:20
he can say it because it's not going to
24:21
happen is it because she's going to
24:22
debate Trump that's right unless she
24:24
wants to debate both of them if she gets
24:26
it yeah um yeah so yeah and this book
24:29
actually was relying on the sort of
24:31
stereotypes as well and that's that's
24:33
also something that's already started to
24:34
come back at him um for for the way that
24:37
he portrayed people from that area um
24:40
yeah I don't know we'll see what happens
24:42
though yeah I think that's going to come
24:44
back to bite him you know whenever
24:45
you're talking about you know when you
24:47
write a book like Christy NM writing
24:49
that book about shooting her dog yeah
24:50
whatever you put in that book is Gospel
24:52
and that is going to be something that's
24:54
going to chase you around uh every
24:56
single period every comma every fact you
24:59
put in there the moment you put your
25:00
head above the pedestal and into a
25:01
position of power in politics anything
25:03
that's happened in the past I'm not
25:04
raing any book I'm not doing it well you
25:06
could write the book I I write a book
25:08
nobody's going to buy it you don't have
25:09
to be the running mate for the next
25:11
president of the United States unless
25:12
you'd WR unless you'd like to be you
25:14
kind of fit the Bell you can you imagine
25:17
can you just
25:20
imagine oh for the love of God no get
25:23
yourself over get yourself ticket to
25:24
that convention you never know no buo
25:28
all right let's have a look at something
25:30
apart from American politics and
25:32
something that basically crashed the
25:34
world's computers on Friday crowd
25:36
strikes defective
25:38
update well tell me what's what's what's
25:41
happened there you know all Airlines and
25:43
train stations in the world were crashed
25:46
Del Del Delta Airlines right now this
25:48
morning they haven't recovered they're
25:49
still and we had a house guest who was
25:52
uh flying and at luckily on km but we
25:55
you know you know sometimes they move
25:57
you around at an airport I just hope
25:59
that she didn't get moved over to to
26:01
Delta but I mean Delta is one of the
26:02
largest airlines in the world for God's
26:04
sake and you're not up and running and
26:05
they had to cancel 4,000 flights
26:08
yesterday uh you know 5,000 they've
26:11
canceled since since the the oh since
26:13
that okay fix that's an update um
26:17
but we are so close to you know
26:21
Armageddon in scenario like this it
26:23
could have been a whole lot worse as it
26:25
was it was the worst we've seen so far
26:28
um wson you know done by 's what am I
26:32
going to what do you call it by somebody
26:34
who wanted to to do to Bear ill if you
26:36
know what I mean yeah and and it wasn't
26:37
a terrorist attack we know that we know
26:39
that it was just uh just just a screw up
26:42
single piece of code single piece of
26:44
code that's that's what took the entire
26:46
system down and uh we are well we all
26:49
know this I mean I'm preaching to the
26:51
choir here that this is we are all um
26:55
absolutely uh at the mercy of of the
26:58
Geeks we were just talking about what
27:00
you know people not taking the blame and
27:02
not actually accepting responsibility
27:04
well Microsoft have basically blamed the
27:05
European Union for really yes absolutely
27:08
how does that work well it didn't happen
27:10
at Apple did it right it didn't happen
27:12
at Apple didn't happen at Apple uh
27:14
because they have a different system
27:17
they closed ecosystem not affected by
27:20
the update because they other companies
27:23
don't have access the same level of
27:26
access that other compan due to
27:28
Microsoft which Microsoft say is because
27:31
of them having to agree with the
27:33
European Union uh the 2009 agreement
27:36
gives makers of security software the
27:38
same level of access to Windows that
27:40
Microsoft gets this deal was intended to
27:42
counteract Microsoft's monopolistic
27:44
position so they didn't have Monopoly
27:46
particularly in web browsers and a
27:48
micros Microsoft spokesperson said that
27:50
that was the reason uh the fact that
27:53
another company had that access it
27:54
happened to them but it didn't happen to
27:56
Apple
27:58
however well how how did that everybody
28:00
that how did that make everybody feel
28:02
who were sleeping in the with their kids
28:03
and their dogs in the in the airports
28:06
yeah so um or missed operations or
28:09
operations you know um but uh that
28:12
basically said that um this is the
28:14
response from the European commission uh
28:16
that uh Microsoft has Never Ever Raised
28:19
any concerns about security with them
28:20
either before or after the incident um
28:23
so it may be just somebody in isolation
28:25
speaking don't know but buffed
28:28
immediately by the European Union uh
28:31
it's not their fault and you know what
28:32
we're out of time um but we have to
28:34
mention Mr Springstein he's doing okay
28:37
he's doing more than okay he's now a
28:42
billionaire we love him good to see um
28:44
and the fact that he still gives value
28:46
for money at his gigs playing for three
28:49
hours or more I'll tell you those of you
28:50
who have never seen him go see the boss
28:52
he's the greatest he is and he's the
28:54
great a billionaire also he's a
28:55
billionaire Rich Reynolds us
