very glad to welcome Rich Reynolds back into the studio how you doing Rich hey I guess I'm the international right you
0:05
absolutely are absolutely you you you told me last time that you enjoyed it you you being an American abroad I do
0:13
like being it it's it's uh it's really unique it's really unique being uh being
0:20
uh uh an English speaker in a Spanish speaking country it's absolutely yeah but you you speak good Spanish though don't you I do I'm I'm at like a B1 B2
0:27
level something like that but I'm never going to be I'm never going to be fluent I mean it's that's a lot to ask for what's the hardest thing you found
0:33
coming from America to live in Spain I think the the hardest thing is to is the
0:39
fact that uh a lot of the stores open when they want to open and they would
0:45
rather be closed if it were up to me I would want to make some money and for
0:50
instance when Co happened I thought wow this is going to be great because when we come back this the the the the store
0:56
down the street that is closed from 2: to 5:00 all of a sudden they're going to be open a little bit more more because they need to make back all this money no
1:03
I don't think so you know I don't making money nah not on my radar it's important
1:08
to have a good lifestyle as well Rich have a good lifestyle so yeah I think I think that's it everybody does
1:13
everything on their own time and uh the fact that in the States you know you have stores that are open 14 16 hours a
1:20
day and here you're lucky if they'll give you a good eight lot of the supermarkets in Britain the 24 hour these days yeah that's true you know
1:26
just that's that's no life you got some good super well yeah you're right about that you're right got to take some time
1:32
and kick back a bit listen to me just come back off holiday you know I know I know and welcome back by the way thank
1:38
you so plenty been going on since we spoke a couple of weeks ago Stateside uh
1:44
the main story over the last couple of days about the three US troops who have been killed in that drone attack on the
1:50
American base in Jordan um a very difficult situation for America a very
1:57
difficult situation for Joe Biden who was we pre talked about what we were
2:02
talking about today was um what would the response be and actually he's just spoken as if on Q as we've come on air
2:10
uh saying that uh we don't need a wider war in the Middle East and uh we know
2:15
that it was an Iran backed militia group that claimed responsibility for the attack and dozens were injured along
2:21
with the three people that were killed of course uh he's not detailed what the action would be obviously you don't do
2:26
that in a situation like this because what would be the point in telling people exactly what you're going to do he's pished a very consequential
2:33
response and obviously the US not looking to have that conflict in the Middle East spiral very very tough
2:40
situation all around and what are they going to do I mean what are the responses who who where do you go do you
2:48
do you bomb Iran is that where you go that's one of the options obviously that that is there or do you just strike the
2:55
uh Iranian support the the bases the Allied bases and commanders or of course
3:01
there's the other one which Mr Trump would love would be for Joe to do nothing yeah uh because that way he
3:08
looks strong because he is saying that uh one of his quotes where there's a 100% chance that there will be a major
3:16
terrorist attacked in the US so many attacks maybe it's because of what's happened in the past three years and
3:21
he's blaming Joe for everything which is of course unfair but everything comes
3:27
down to him wanting to look strong I'm a strong uh person he said uh uh quote we
3:34
would uh have peace right now throughout the world if I were president instead we're on the brink of World War I well
3:41
we know the sort of response that he would do or give to Ukraine he would effectively uh shake hands with Vladimir
3:48
Putin and say he can keep the parts of Ukraine that he's already taken that would be his that would be his idea he
3:53
said he would be able to sort it out in 24 hours but that would be how he would sort it out I mean that's not really a solution is it you know it would beour
3:59
enaging Russia and kicking the can down the road surely I you know I don't know what they're going to do but I if I were
4:04
to guess I would say I think there're going to be some specific Target bombings on bases I don't think they're
4:10
going into they certainly would be it would be crazy to go into any of the major cities and start dropping bombs
4:16
killing women and children that that makes no sense but I uh you know crazier things have happened
4:23
but I think that they're going to be looking at all the bases in the area and you're right I think they're looking at
4:28
Iran as one of the one of the targets that I think they're going to be uh uh
4:33
facing down as well as in Syria and Jordan and a lot of those other uh
4:39
countries over there but certainly he has to do something I mean they this is the uh one of a 160 attacks that have
4:47
happened over the past few weeks clearly as a country we're being provoked clearly they want us to do something and
4:54
unfortunately they're going to do it the question last time you were here we were talking about the response to the bombing of for shipping and and and that
5:01
was happening as we were speaking that again we saw us and and UK uh ships
5:08
bombing hooti Rebel held areas uh in Yemen
5:14
and does it make a big difference has it made a big difference do you think it doesn't seem to have deterred them at all and it doesn't seem to have stopped
5:20
Iran from agitating the the whole situation no because I think it's in uh it's something they want to do they want
5:26
to poke the bear as much as they can and take it as far as they can take it and then and if you let them do it I'm not
5:32
advocating for a full-blown War but if you keep doing that and you don't respond they're going to keep doing it and that's that's kind of how they're
5:39
built and so I think that uh that's something that needs to be uh taken into
5:44
account I think Joe needs to do something I think he's smart and not telling anybody what he's going to do
5:49
only a fool would be out there and say you know if I were you I know I know who would be telling people what he was
5:55
going to do I know I know but it's but it's not what you in this situation obviously but I'm sure I'm sure as we
6:02
speak he's talking to Congressional leaders and trying to do things you know the only big problem that the country has right now and the way the Senate is
6:09
built is that the Republican party and I don't want to pick on Republicans per se
6:14
but the way they build bills is that they will include uh let's use the big one the
6:21
case in point you know the situation at the Mexican border uh tied up with aid for Ukraine and aid for Israel right and
6:28
they're folding that all in together if you want money for the Border you'll vote for this and and the the Democratic
6:35
party is saying no or the Democrats in power saying no you know we I want to
6:40
separate this out you can do that I mean we're talking about a lot of money here but uh I think folding this in is is
6:48
different I think a lot of the uh I know a lot of the Republican leaders are looking
6:55
to uh retaliate full boore who want to go in with with guns blazing
7:02
I saw that yeah and and of course they're bringing in they'll bring in uh the Brits and they'll bring in the
7:07
Canadians and they'll bring in the swedes and they'll bring in you know Netherlands have also been supporting some of that action against the hoo of
7:13
course of course and the Australians and New Zealand and and all of the allies and and then it becomes a big thing so I
7:20
I I I'm glad I'm not in that position so believe that Iran are really after the
7:26
wider conflicts in the Middle East what what purpose would that serve I suppose to to to mess up us interests everywhere
7:34
well they do have nuclear weapons they do and we all we they've had them for a number of years so I I just think
7:40
they're you know it's like a dog chasing a car you know when you catch the car what do you do with it I think that's
7:46
the case I mean you you could say they're picking a fight and I don't know what's going to happen uh they don't
7:52
know what's going to happen if there is a fight they don't apparently they they know that we're still smarting from
7:58
Vietnam there is a big big thing in the country about about do we want another
8:03
Vietnam it comes up all the time and and that's why it was really hard to jump
8:08
into the Gulf War in 91 tough to jump into the Gulf War in in 2001 I mean that
8:14
was a different circumstance but it was you know but but at that point whenever there's a conflict we look around and go
8:20
do we want another Vietnam and the answer is no we don't but you know do
8:26
you want to be weak I don't think Joe Biden is being weak I think he's being strategic tradition traditionally
8:32
America is the world's polican so I know um and I don't know that that that's not something that the uh the guy who wants
8:38
to be president again would would want to be and he certainly said that last time we'll talk a bit more about him after the break what about the situation
8:46
in the Middle East because it's just got worse since we spoke two weeks ago it has gotten worse and I think it's going
8:51
to continue to get worse I think as long as these attacks continue uh you know I
8:57
I wonder about the the the the the shipping containers going through the Suz canal and saying oh we got boarded
9:05
by by these people who had guns and I go you're in the biggest boat you're in
9:11
these gigantic boats you don't have guns you don't you have nothing you don't have i' drop rocks on their heads I
9:18
don't know I don't know what I would do you think you'd think they would have a bit more security certainly you know the
9:24
the places where I went to at times there was on on the flights there was even that sort pretty heavy security you
9:30
know people with loaded weapons you know yeah um so why they I guess they
9:36
probably do on the ships but maybe they're overwhelmed I don't know um they don't seem to be able to stop it anyway
9:41
um but um more specifically uh there doesn't seem to be any agreement close
9:47
between the US and Israel either on how to end what's happening in Gaza no it's
9:53
a it's a real conundrum I don't know how that thing is going to end but it the shooting has got to stop there's no
9:59
question I don't care what party you belong to I don't care what your belief is you you can't keep killing each other
10:05
and I I believe that that this is my own personal opinion that that the Israelis
10:11
had every reason to respond the way they did but you know now we're at a point
10:17
where maybe there needs to be a ceasefire I mean there these people have nothing these people have they have no
10:23
food they have no water they they have no ammunition we're down to women and children and how much how far do you
10:29
want to take this and I know we all want to see the hostages come back everybody who is not in Hamas wants to see that
10:36
happen then I wonder how long you take that and and when do you do that Netanyahu seems to be uh right or wrong
10:43
uh dug in he's he's not going to change his tune uh unless it's his interest as well unless unless the country changes
10:50
it for him yeah and I don't know and I do not know and I'd be interested to know what a lot of Israeli people think
10:57
you know whether or not he's in the right or he's well there is there is some W you know we've seen that over the past few the past week or so you know
11:04
certainly in Israel there is a weld for this to to find a way to solution and certainly for the killing uh to stop you
11:11
know nearly 27,000 Palestinians uh and and 66,000 27,000 killed and 66,000 wounded
11:19
uh in that action since the 7th of October I mean those are horrific and huge numbers and you have to think that
11:26
um you know Israel saying it killed around 9,000 enemy combatants well well hang on women and
11:32
children are those that are being killed more than anybody else um and they're not really Hamas are they let's face it
11:39
no no and do you want to continue this do you want this to be your legacy is killing women and children uh forever
11:46
whatever your your platform is I mean the answer to me is no you do not want to be doing this but how to get out of
11:52
it that's always it's always tough it was talking about Vietnam it was Nixon's problem he didn't know how to get out of
11:58
Vietnam it was a thing called uh uh you know uh what did he call it honor uh
12:05
Victory With Honor M you know how do how do I how do I back out of this you know I've caught the car how do I how do I
12:12
get out of this thing and save face well you know that's a big problem we're talking about famine now in the area and
12:19
you know and it's I don't know because if we knew the solutions we'd we' be better people than those that are trying
12:24
to find them at the moment um but yeah so the latest that that we have uh from Joe Biden he said he has decided how to
12:31
respond on the Drone strike that killed three US troops and injured dozens in Jordan he uh has said to reporters
12:39
leaving the White House today that uh he has decided but hasn't elaborated on exactly what uh decision he has come to
12:46
or how that response will be but I would imagine that he said that you know they made a decision we'll see what that'll
12:52
be in the next 24 hours or so uh Rich Reynolds is with us talking us politics
12:58
this afternoon which obviously as we've been just hearing spreads right across the planet um but we'll look a little bit more closer to home and the campaign
13:05
Trail there's another uh primary on the way um and we'll talk talk about what's
13:10
been happening in recent days as well you're listening to Bay radio Bay
13:18
radio International with the Miracles love machine just been talking about the merits of American music which oh you
13:25
see I've left some in there you know doing this there is the Superstar as well you
13:30
know I got to tell you that's right in my wheelhouse those songs I love them that's when I was first on the air Rich
13:35
Reynolds is with us here talking us and uh we we were not going to get very far
13:41
without mentioning Mr Trump in fact we were going to save him until this segment and he came in already anyway uh because he's just about all over
13:48
everything at the moment isn't he so where are we with Mr Trump most recently
13:54
back in court again um man he has to pay quite a lot of cash uh to the for former L writer uh e Carol 83.3 million that
14:03
defamation ruling he's going to appe that's a nice PD he's going to appeal isn't he obviously he's going to appeal
14:09
and he's going to lose I mean there was a they'll appeal to a higher court and we'll see how it goes he he's always
14:15
talking about the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court doesn't see cases like this it's all the Supreme Court doesn't
14:21
want anything to do with this so this was the federal court in New York a federal court right that's that's the notch below the Supreme Court that's as
14:29
you can get but he's in he's got three more trials coming up he got to pay attention to that but if you look at the
14:34
fact that that he they they've looked at his money at how much money he has actually on hand
14:42
he has I think the the estimate is like $250 million he does not have the money
14:48
that he tells everybody he has no he does not have two or three billion doar he does but he has if you have if you
14:55
can take this out of your head $250 million this is onethird of of all his money is going to
15:02
go to this woman you know and and I feel badly about for her but uh boy this is
15:08
this is GNA really smart and you know he doesn't help by storming out of the court I guess he thinks this is I'm
15:15
going to just show Everybody by being a baby you know what this is because it's what it is it's like being a big baby I
15:20
mean I I wouldn't like to lose a court case but you know that's that's kind of it doesn't seem to trouble because he
15:26
actually makes it worse he does but he then he raises money off that then he was he was uh he was on social media
15:33
that night saying you can help me out by by donating to my campaign and well that
15:38
folks when you donate to his campaign it's going to his legal fund you know if that's where you want to send your five
15:44
your $10 your 20 go ahead and do it but that's where it's going and by the way if he's a billionaire why does he need
15:50
your money why does he need your $5 $10 there been quite a few I just raised the question indeed I don't know why people
15:57
would want to give him money it's rhetorical there have been a number of Articles this week about the possibility of not
16:03
not not him just becoming the nominee to become the next president or to return to the presidency but um to actually
16:10
beat Joe Biden in a showdown to become the next president of the United States
16:15
Europe's worried well certainly Europe's breasts are concerned there's been a lot of colum inches about it this week
16:22
really well they should be because a lot of Americans are worried about it but not enough that we know but I have I
16:28
have a lot of friends who are Trump supporters and I got to tell you and family members this thing is going to come down to the end we talked about
16:34
this before didn't you between you and your brother polls apart on politics which is unusual for the state let alone
16:39
we we never talk politics but I know he's a trump supporter and he's uh you know and I love him to death but uh we
16:46
we we are on opposite ends of of this thing and it it doesn't get between us but I can tell you that this thing is
16:52
going to go down to the wire it's going to be that night it's going to be that close and it's whoever campaigns the
16:58
best you know the real problem is is this I think you and I talked about it two weeks ago is that the whole idea of
17:05
age is is like a a a snowball running down a hill because once you start it's taboo and nobody says anything about it
17:12
at the moment but but Trump will say anything that's right but once you start talking about it it it just picks up
17:17
speed it picks up momentum going down the hill it's like when somebody says whatever you do don't look at an Gus's
17:23
wart she's got a wart on her nose whatever you do don't do that and then you can't see anything but the ward on
17:29
ank's nose it's like this you can't whenever you talk about Joe being too
17:35
old you know every time he trips every time he looks a little sluggish he's having a bad day you look at it and go
17:42
you know worry about his speech but of course as you highlighted before he actually did as a child had a speech
17:48
problem he did he he had he he's very been very uh uh uh public about he had a
17:54
stuttering problem as a child but yeah I don't really see him do you know as a real problem I you know I I just think
18:00
he's done a great job as president and and I support him but but the Trump thing there are a lot of people that
18:06
love him and they love him because he seems strong and is that it because he's a strong man a strong man who is who's
18:13
going to go to prison and is guilty of felonies and that but people don't care and I don't know you've never had a a
18:20
president that's been a criminal well we have there been a convicted criminal we have back in the
18:26
1800s and so but none of that have gone to jail but a lot of them have been convicted and we had like Warren G
18:33
Harding getting a long long way back back when I was a boy living memory Nixon possibly but oh Nixon
18:39
absolutely uh but but you know the the the point is that that you know he's
18:45
seen as a strong man he's a strong leader but when you come down to it he doesn't have I know I'm tipping my hat
18:50
on on which way I lean but but I I think that if you
18:57
have if you have convictions against you if all these people are suing you and
19:02
you're seen as a con man who just happens to be very strong anybody can be strong by making pronouncements but I'm
19:08
I'm kind of waiting to see what your policy is what were your policies those four years he's not specific is he what
19:14
did you what did you do what did you accomplish I'm not could you write those down because I'm not I'm not seeing well
19:20
it was Revolution on Capital Hill oh there was that but they don't hold that against him you know that was a bunch of
19:26
people out for a vacation somebody really said that you know people somebody said that that was they out for
19:31
vacation they just out for on on vacation and it got a little hang on wasn't there a court case against oh my God him for inciting the trouble God so
19:40
anyhow so what what's he been saying about Nikki Haley then because you know she could well the idea is that she
19:46
might become the nominee instead of him but it doesn't look very likely it doesn't look very very likely but she's
19:51
still out there swinging for him and and you know before before the Iowa caucuses she was
19:57
very careful she didn't say anything against him well maybe he's maybe he's losing his mind maybe he's not she would
20:03
say things like that but now she's coming out swinging a little bit because she's got he's she's not going to be his
20:09
vice president she's not going to be in his cabinet it's not she's burned that bridge what was it you were telling me before we came on air about what he was
20:16
saying about anybody who even uh gave one dime to her campaign if you give a dime to her campaign or support her in
20:23
any way you're out of the Maga Universe the Maga Universe Maga Universe was his
20:28
make America great again is what it stands for so his acolytes basically isn't that what a baby says if you can't
20:34
if you don't give me candy I don't want to be I don't want to be your son anymore in Europe we hear what he says
20:40
and the way that he says it and and exactly that my mom would say exactly what you say but a lot of Americans
20:45
don't seem to see that no well a lot of them don't I mean you you believe what you believe what you want to believe we
20:50
we have all had candidates that we have supported in our lives whether in the UK
20:55
or in France or in Spain or it doesn't matter but hey I once supported somebody sent me to an illegal War so there you
21:01
go what can I say what do I know oh I I remember that but but uh there are
21:06
people that you there are candidates that I have supported where they they've turned out that they were just not good
21:13
people and then you know yeah yeah yeah and there are people that while they were running for office I looked at him
21:20
I go oh we don't want to support this guy anymore I mean I had when I was living in Chicago my congressman was a
21:26
convicted felon he went to jail for for male fraud so he goes to he goes to jail
21:32
and he's up for election right and my wife my wife said I said who did you vote for and she said I voted for him I
21:38
said well I couldn't do that I I couldn't vot did you vote for the Republican I said well no I just didn't vote in the in the category I wasn't
21:45
going to vote for a convicted felon but uh there are those those choices that
21:50
that that we face but you know there's there are people that you you that you as an adult that you you
21:58
support and you go well that I like the GU the cut of that guy's jib I like him he's energetic he's forceful he's blah
22:05
blah blah blah and then you find out he's a crook it's okay it's okay to step
22:10
back and go H maybe I'm not going to support this person because that's not what's happening with Trump people are
22:16
still supporting him it's not it's building up it's almost like Badges of honor and he and he and he wears them as
22:21
such you he does he does and every time there's another and Americans know this
22:27
every time there's another lawsuit he gets more powerful and nobody can figure it out nobody can figure but but the
22:34
point is that that I didn't even know what the point is I'm running out of steam here so there's no nobody really
22:40
is going to is is going to be able to challenge him so he will become the nominee he will be the nominee but it's going to take a few weeks and the next
22:46
one the next uh campaign the next uh primary is Nevada I think you said Nevada and it's a caucus does I don't
22:53
know if your audience knows what theau we were trying to get to this last time you were here so way the caucus the way
22:59
the way uh the way a normal primary works is you have two parties a third
23:04
party candidate would not have a would not have a a any sort of they could be on a ride in but they you know they can
23:11
get on a ballot but they would not have a whole campaign uh what what happens is
23:17
in a state like New Hampshire you would go to a polling place and at the polling
23:24
place like in any other country you would vote for that person and whoever wins wins at a caucus you would go to a
23:30
high school most of them are high schools and there would be maybe a 100
23:36
or 200 high schools and you would collect it would be you and your neighbors you would all get together and
23:42
talk about that and then you would take a vote in that room looking at each
23:47
other it's not a secret ballot it would like really oh yeah it it's all you sit there and you go what does Cal think
23:53
what does Rich think you put your hand up and you go one vote for Cal one vote for Rich and and you put that in that's
23:58
how the caucus works and so and and and they then what win that state for that person you win that District that's
24:04
right when you collect all the all the days all the dist together but it's a it would be like everybody in your town
24:10
your hometown getting together and voting for a candidate but we kind of know that's how America Works doesn't it
24:17
because each town or state effectively is one or the other it's a it's a
24:23
country it's a small each state is like a small country so they you know the're Democrat or the Republican so you know
24:28
and they always have been and always will be there's not that doesn't really change very often they're what they call swing States aren't they so they're the
24:34
ones that could go either way that that depending on the election they go either way there are certain States like where I came from Oregon Oregon is a very very
24:42
blue State becoming more red but it's a blue State then they're what they call Purple states which are swing States
24:48
meaning Michigan Ohio uh a lot of a lot of states in the midwest they could go
24:54
either way um uh Arizona which used to be a very Republic Republican state is becoming a swing state but States like
25:00
New York Massachusetts the whole New England those are all very very Democratic states but the Deep South
25:08
Midwest becoming more and more purple so we don't know where I mean there's a
25:13
famous story about about Hillary Clinton in 2016 that uh she had she was neck and
25:20
neck with Trump in the polls in Michigan and she was told by by her
25:26
campaign and by her husband pretty smart campaigner saying go to Michigan whatever you do you got to go to
25:32
Michigan she goes now pass it I'm ahead go to if she had gone if she had won Michigan she would be president she
25:39
would have been president but she passed up on she ran in my estimation she ran a really bad
25:44
campaign uh but she didn't win a lot of states that she should have won that she didn't win um but it didn't didn't quite
25:52
go that way all right we'll stay on top of things as we head towards the US elections with us correspondent rich
25:59
rynolds and we'll talk a little bit of sport I think before we wrap things up today because we know what's or who is
26:05
going to be contesting the next Super Bowl you're listening to Bay radio
26:12
celebrating all things American today with our us correspondent Rich Reynolds uh who is back with us talking about all
26:19
things Stateside and the big news this week in the sporting world of the United
26:25
States is that Super Bowl 58 is decided San Francisco 49ers great uh set to uh
26:32
uh play against the Kansas City Chiefs it's a big rematch uh Super Bowl and it
26:37
could go either way they could uh they they played against each other a couple years ago and Kansas City won uh they're
26:43
both what I would call Legacy franchises they're both dominant teams neither of them are surprises if you look at them
26:49
you don't go well why is this why are they in the game they're both really really good football teams the one thing
26:55
I will tell you that's interesting about this game is that the quarterback as those of you follow
27:01
football American football even in the slightest way the quarterback is the centerpiece of the team and if you don't
27:07
have a good quarterback you're not going to win any games there a guy named Brock pie Brock pie was the
27:14
224th uh player chosen that year out of 224 he is what they call Mr Irrelevant
27:22
so it's one of these things where you draft all these players and they have seven rounds of drafts so have they have
27:28
32 teams choosing choosing uh um all these players he was the last guy Chosen
27:35
and now he's a quarterback in the Super Bowl pretty amazing because when they when they picked him was like he was
27:41
like the fourth string quarterback why do we even have this guy you and you know he was basically warming the bench
27:46
getting the Gatorade that's all is it because he's been so good or been there so many injuries there it's a combination of both I mean you can't
27:52
you're not going to you're not going to send unless there are injuries you're not going to he's not in practice and they go wow he's really good I'm glad
27:58
we're paying him X number of dollars you know it we're glad that the San Francisco 49ers are actually in the
28:04
Super Bowl because they that they own they own lead United which of course is my team and any money they make if they
28:10
make big money then obviously a bit of it's going to come our way in fact actually Steve's already messaged me saying we talking about that marching on
28:18
together which is you know one of the leads mantras San Francisco 49ers so um yeah so we we're looking forward to that
28:24
but of course there's a big Love Story involved there as well pardon the P why you tell me about it if you pardon the
28:30
Pug it's not just been about the Taylor AI pictures on the internet this week it's been about the Super Bowl Love
28:36
Story uh isn't it well she and and Travis Kelce they they seem to be the real thing at least now I don't know
28:43
where things are going but the big discussion on American TV is is she going to fly from Tokyo to Las Vegas to
28:51
see the game is she gonna make it in time because she's playing in Tokyo the night before and they're going let's see
28:57
the show starts at 7 thre hour three hour show then she's got to get on the
29:02
plane blah blah blah and it's it's I don't know how long it takes because she was but she was on the field wasn't she
29:08
after that win against Ravens and already already we're hearing the political push on that as well where uh
29:15
right-wing pundits and social media are saying that it was staged part of a scop strategy designed to manipulate people
29:21
into voting Democrat yeah that that's a that is a real stretch these football
29:27
players don't really care about politics I I I I would never I've never been a professional athlete but I mean I can't
29:33
see that being true at all we know what her politics are she's a she's a chronic anti-trumper but but uh and I don't I
29:40
don't know what his politics are but I can tell you he is a great great capital
29:45
G football player well he got a touchdown in that game we talking he's Sensational he's got a great Pair of Hands he's got a great quarterback in
29:52
Mahomes uh San Francisco also has a great great uh great great team team
29:57
it's going to be a sensational game now that being said that is usually not the best game of the year Usher is the is
30:04
the halftime show that's what a lot of people go for a lot of people go for the sales that these artists um have after
30:11
they've appeared in one of these uh shows is I I don't know what the numbers are the numbers just they just escalate
30:17
they just they're huge if you get that show as an artist it's just the one of the best things going to happen to your
30:23
career because you know you you you sell so much after but you were running through before we were on air about
30:28
actually the costs of of of AD space within these games as well I don't think
30:33
and the number goes up by about a million dollar a year and I remember uh when it cracked a million
30:39
dollars and it was about I think six or seven years ago a 302nd commercial in the in the Super Bowl was a million
30:46
dollars it is now $6.5 million 30 seconds 30 seconds and
30:52
and a lot of analy busers would love some of that oh my God isn't that what they Char these
30:58
spots no no it's not that it it it last year's game was seen by 115 million
31:04
people that's just in the US and I know it's been seen by more around the world uh um one thing I can tell you though
31:13
that a lot the game is on at what time did I write down 12:30 in the morning it
31:19
begins here in in Spain um coverage there of the game starts at 6:30 but the
31:25
pregame starts at around 8:00 in the morning so for four for 10 hours this is
31:32
there's Super Bowl coverage 10 hours the full play as my mom calls it's every angle it's like every oh here's a guy
31:39
who's played one down in the whole season well let's talk to his mom we say it's covering the game from every
31:45
possible angle it's like it's and I'm a football fan but I'm watching these games going why don't you call me when the game starts I am not going to watch
31:52
any more profiles and then the games on air rotate from Network to networking
31:57
this year CBS has the game NBC had it last year so next year it's either fox or ABC so they don't have to pay big
32:04
money to have the game you just get it as a matter of course you get it as a matter of course but it's tied into your to your licensing agreement when you you
32:11
do a deal like every five years every 10 years I think used to be five now that's probably 10 years so but you're pay I
32:18
mean you're paying big money to have that it's like the Olympics you're pay incredible amount of money to do it but
32:23
uh but every media buyer that I've talked to and everything I've read says it's worth it at6 and5 million dollar
32:29
it's worth it got to be coming up on the 11th of February at Super Bowl 58 and
