our us correspondent Rich Reynolds with
0:02
us this afternoon at Bay radio
0:03
International 12 minutes past 4 Mainland
0:06
Spain how you doing well I'm iGo good to
0:09
be here you're good y so what you been
0:11
what have you been doing for the past
0:12
week I'll tell you I think there may
0:14
have been a convention on the A and I
0:16
was watching a lot of that and I was uh
0:18
driving my poor wife crazy watching
0:20
convention coverage and stuff on YouTube
0:22
and whatever I could find and you know
0:24
I'm a junkie what can I say I'm addicted
0:26
to it so I I kind of enjoy it there's
0:29
it's almost like
0:30
you can't get out of the way of it it's
0:32
everywhere and it's on every Network all
0:35
the time so 10 weeks to go till the
0:38
election and I'm already addicted yeah
0:40
you are addicted are you don't you wish
0:42
you good vote and all that nonsense I
0:44
guess but I mean it's just it's just I I
0:47
just can't the Cutthroat way that um
0:50
American politics works is just
0:52
astounding well compared to UK politics
0:55
which is very seems to be very civil to
0:57
me and generally I I fig that sort of
1:01
through the pandemic it was but
1:03
subsequently not so much but wow when
1:05
you get to American politics it's um it
1:07
really is quite harsh it's brutal and
1:09
you know people have said oh this is a
1:11
one of the worst campaigns in history
1:13
it's the way they go at each other and I
1:15
said this is nothing compared to the
1:17
1830s 1840s around the time of slavery
1:20
when Lincoln was President oh my well
1:22
divided the country they thought about
1:23
it it was awful it was just they were
1:25
just shredding each other and and lying
1:28
about each other and that sort of thing
1:29
so it's kind of an American tradition to
1:31
lie cheat and uh and win elections all
1:35
right we'll come to that shortly first
1:36
of all the development the other day
1:39
about the telegram founder being
1:42
arrested in France this is hard coverage
1:45
right across the planet Pavel durov I
1:48
got told off the other day by number of
1:50
Ukrainian and Russian speakers who said
1:52
your pronunciation is rubbish I'm still
1:54
working on it it's still not that much
1:55
better anyway the Russian founder of
1:57
telegram who's arrested in Paris um now
2:00
depends where you look where you read
2:01
some people feel very differently about
2:04
the reasoning behind this uh it said he
2:06
has nothing to hide and it's absurd to
2:08
hold an owner responsible for abuse of
2:11
the messaging and social media platform
2:13
that's what telegram have said in a
2:15
statement of course it was founded in
2:17
Russia he Russian but he no longer lives
2:19
there he left because the government
2:21
wanted to curtail and and and stop what
2:23
he was doing uh and control it and so he
2:26
left so that he would be free in the
2:28
Free World and Med vev out of Russia
2:30
today has been saying we told him we
2:32
told him they wouldn't let him do it in
2:33
the west either um well they closed him
2:36
down in 2018 and they brought him back
2:38
in
2:39
2021 so he's like a like a a bad Penny
2:43
he keeps coming back but uh I don't know
2:46
if everybody out there knows about
2:48
telegram it's it's similar to Whatsapp
2:50
if you like similar to Whatsapp yeah it
2:51
is I I'm I'm a member of it but every
2:54
once in a while when I'm when I'm
2:56
calling a call center or something like
2:57
that or or a chat bot or something
2:59
something like that they'll always say
3:01
we're on telegram follow us on telegram
3:03
so I don't I don't have any friends I
3:05
don't how in in in the Russian
3:08
Federation in Ukraine and in countries
3:10
of former Eastern block lots of users
3:12
but uh as you and I were speaking off
3:15
air uh I I think we're in agreement that
3:17
the that telegram is liable for uh what
3:23
their memb say I mean well it's weird
3:25
because the EU have kind of distanced
3:27
themselves from France in this and the
3:28
EU just brought in some strong and heavy
3:31
rules and regulations regarding
3:33
platforms like this but they're they're
3:35
sitting back at the moment and um it's
3:37
all about cyber crime according to the
3:39
inquiry there some of the 12 crimes
3:41
according to French prosecutors uh that
3:44
um they are alleging that Pavel durov is
3:48
responsible for and they include
3:51
complicity in possessing disseminating
3:52
child pornography and administering an
3:54
online platform to allow organized crime
3:57
acquiring transporting or offering n Nar
3:59
otics so where is it you know why is an
4:03
online platform such as telegram or
4:06
Whatsapp or whichever one you'd like to
4:08
mention different from Radio TV
4:12
newspapers all have a standards to
4:14
uphold in in in countries that they
4:17
broadcast or that they print uh or or
4:19
whatever it is that they do why should
4:21
media platforms be any different well uh
4:25
a phrase that they use in the states all
4:26
the time is it's like the wild west you
4:28
have an amendment for this we Haven
4:30
that's right that's right it is Free
4:33
Speech but uh you know the thing you
4:36
know R you've worked in radio your whole
4:38
life I worked in radio and television my
4:40
whole life and you are accountable to
4:44
Federal organizations you there are
4:46
certain things you cannot say there are
4:47
certainly things you cannot do there are
4:50
a lot of things you shouldn't do but
4:52
that but people will still do them but
4:54
the problem
4:56
is in in those you're not getting input
4:59
from aill people here everybody is free
5:03
on Facebook on on Instagram blah blah
5:05
blah they they're free to speak their
5:08
mind and and input but where's that
5:10
information where's that where's that
5:12
line drawn and apparently the line there
5:14
is no line nobody knows where the line
5:16
is and that's the that's a big problem
5:18
that's what the EU has been trying to
5:20
control with certain platforms and and
5:23
of course it has uh strong connections
5:27
with other things that have been going
5:28
on we've just seen the P of somebody who
5:30
was locked up for uh putting a lot of
5:33
information out on the platform haven't
5:35
we um that's right so so the the big
5:38
question is what are they going to do
5:39
are they going to close down telegram
5:41
you going to close down a a site that's
5:42
got a billion people using it I don't
5:45
know that that's a financial decision so
5:48
I don't I don't know what's going to
5:49
happen in this but but you know you're
5:52
right in that everybody's got to be
5:53
accountable for what they say and the
5:55
people that they let in the door you
5:57
know it's like a like a nightclub or a
5:59
store I mean you're you're responsible
6:01
for those people that you let in what
6:03
gets me is the people on social media
6:04
hide behind the keyboard the call you
6:06
know so-called keyboard Warriors they
6:08
say and do things uh that they would not
6:11
come up and say to you or do in the
6:12
street and so there is a line there's
6:15
there is a line isn't there you know in
6:16
most civilized society there's a a line
6:19
on on what's acceptable and what isn't
6:21
um but it's how do you police it I guess
6:23
and and whether that really is going to
6:24
be what it comes down to with
6:27
investigation here that line is very
6:28
different in Russia than it is in in the
6:30
UK or Spain or North Korea North Korea
6:33
yeah or the US you know where um like
6:35
you say with the amendment free speech
6:37
is slightly it's it's it's different
6:39
isn't it you know well when Zuckerberg
6:41
was called in front of Congress well he
6:43
was saying today that they they were
6:44
trying to get him to um to to not talk
6:46
about covid in in in a particular way or
6:49
vaccines and so on or or people on his
6:51
platform um and all you have to do is
6:53
stand up and say Free Speech Second
6:55
Amendment uh F I'm sorry First Amendment
6:57
Second Amendment is uh gun
7:00
a gun right to bear arms first first
7:02
amendment I should say but uh yeah it's
7:06
it's a it's a it's a door that's got to
7:09
uh that's got to swing both ways yeah
7:11
really does yeah lots of commentary on
7:13
that on social media anyway we thought
7:15
we would just start with that one um but
7:18
um of course as Rich was alluding just
7:21
before uh talking about what has been
7:24
going on in the United States recently
7:27
and the democratic convention uh um had
7:30
a surprise guest actually before we get
7:32
into the
7:33
nitty-gritty well the one they didn't
7:35
have a surprise guest they did not have
7:37
Beyonce as a surprise guest and
7:39
everybody thought be I had I had even
7:41
read that it might be Beyonce and uh
7:44
Taylor Swift that's right maybe even
7:46
together the same time yeah I had heard
7:48
that that would have been a surprise to
7:49
both of them but uh Taylor Swift I guess
7:51
was at her mansion in Road Island
7:53
watching the whole thing from from
7:55
everything I've read um but they had but
7:58
they had pink and they had lots of other
8:00
interesting people who showed up and
8:02
performed and it was I'll tell you it
8:04
was a 4-day rock show it was just as
8:06
somebody who was has watched dozens of
8:09
these conventions over the years I got
8:11
to tell you they theyve really put on a
8:12
show they put on a party they rolled out
8:14
the big guns they rolled out they rolled
8:17
out uh the Obamas and the clintons and
8:20
uh uh they had actors and actresses
8:23
speaking and they had a DJ any of you
8:25
that would like to see the roll call you
8:27
can call it up on YouTube it's the DNC
8:30
roll call where every state uh comes in
8:33
to view and and offers how many it was
8:36
great DJ Cassidy Rock the conven and
8:38
each each of them had their own song or
8:41
even actually some of them stole two
8:42
songs didn't they and actually that was
8:45
the link with what I was saying about a
8:46
little bit earlier on because I made it
8:48
made it all flow today the last song in
8:49
the first hour Timberland the way I are
8:52
uh in the last hour as well with sex
8:54
machine from James Brown both of those
8:56
songs used in that playlist for the
8:59
state as they went through and yeah it
9:01
was it was quite a good way to do it I
9:03
think when they're basically what
9:04
they're doing is they're saying how many
9:05
votes from each state right right each
9:07
state uh the each state I think the
9:10
total number is uh
9:12
1,70 uh I could be off by a few but
9:15
around 1,270 and um that's how many
9:19
delegates they had and and so what
9:20
happens they pledge the delegates and
9:22
the state says from the great state of
9:23
Montana we pledged 35 delegates blah
9:26
blah blah and uh and the person says
9:30
Montana 35 votes and that's just tallied
9:32
up and that's how the Republicans do it
9:34
that's the way it's been done in the
9:35
past it's just somebody usually the
9:37
governor uh lieutenant governor you know
9:40
some policy wonk here they had actors
9:43
doing it the state of Indiana had uh
9:46
Shan Aston who played Rudy in the movie
9:49
about Notre Dame Michael Jackson Don't
9:52
Stop Till You Get Enough for that that's
9:53
right that's right in fact Kansas that
9:55
we just played before carry on my way
9:57
was obviously Kansas some of them tied
9:59
them in didn't they like Idaho With
10:00
Private Idaho the b52s but others were
10:03
were you know just in fact even there
10:04
was a current track Missouri you
10:06
Chappelle rone current number one on the
10:07
bay radio top 10 good luck babe as well
10:09
so that's a brand new song so it wasn't
10:11
just all the classic I was wondering I'm
10:13
glad you said that because I lived in
10:14
Missouri for almost 10 years I did not
10:17
recognize that song I am not a we've
10:19
been playing it quite a bit in fact I've
10:21
just played it the last hour as well
10:23
just not a contemporary guy I am just
10:25
not but there were some Taylor songs
10:27
there were blackeyed peas House of Pain
10:28
of course Bruce Springsteen was New
10:30
Jerseys MH but yeah good way to do it um
10:34
right it was fun it was just a weekl
10:35
long party it was fun and and now the
10:38
hard work get done and now we're down to
10:40
69 days in counting as you said seven 10
10:43
weeks 10 weeks to go till the election
10:45
right uh from today 10 weeks uh from
10:47
today and overall you were happy with
10:50
the uh I was really happy you know I I
10:52
really love what they did I I really
10:54
liked uh the the words that were being
10:56
said they they kind of rang true uh
11:00
I like the the people who were speaking
11:02
I thought uh I thought the the party
11:05
came out of it looking really good and
11:07
in really a good space and the fact that
11:10
in according to one poll and I'm sure
11:12
we'll get to this later she's up by
11:14
seven points nationally when Joe Biden
11:17
had them down by 10 or 12 and things are
11:20
looking really bad for the Democratic
11:22
party things are looking L Rider right
11:24
now and it seems to have had an effect
11:26
on Mr Trump as well again which we'll
11:27
come to in a little bit and Mark's just
11:31
pointing out that he thought Obama was
11:32
great brilliant comic timing uh but a
11:35
lot of people thought Michelle was
11:36
better than him she was great and and
11:38
she had a different speech than he did
11:39
you know she spoke to women and slightly
11:41
different than the way she normally goes
11:42
as well because she doesn't normally
11:43
attack people individually but because
11:45
Trump had been doing it she did it this
11:46
time yeah she was great now she's uh
11:48
she's a great speaker and so is he you
11:50
know he's great I thought Bill Clinton
11:52
was a little looked a little fragile
11:54
that's just my opinion he's uh he's he's
11:56
a little bit older than you he's getting
11:57
up there yeah yeah yeah and usually he's
12:00
he's like having a superstar for the
12:03
Democratic party he's always a great
12:04
speaker but his his speech was a little
12:06
a little frail but I thought um but but
12:09
good and solid lot of good points okay
12:12
so plenty of Co plenty of covid
12:15
apparently a lot of people got covid at
12:17
that convention so they went to see
12:19
Beyonce they came home with Co that that
12:21
apparently was a problem without seeing
12:23
Beyonce without seeing Beyonce but uh
12:26
yeah apparently Co is uh uh becoming a
12:28
big thing in the states it's back with a
12:31
vengeance and I know we're going to be
12:32
talking about that a little bit later
12:34
but um yeah there was a quite a few
12:37
people got Co coming out of the uh Arena
12:39
which holds about 20,000 people so if
12:42
you're interested you can go to
12:44
Democratic National Convention or DNC
12:46
2024 roll call on Spotify and it'll
12:49
bring you up the full list thought we'd
12:51
do this one the tune that was chosen by
12:53
the Democrats abroad to announce there
12:56
uh how many did they have did did you
12:57
know what did they say the Democrats AB
12:59
how many they had there I think it was
13:01
like a half a dozen or so they may have
13:02
had a few more than that you know some
13:04
of those some of those delegations were
13:06
small California had 450 something like
13:09
that that was in insane but uh you know
13:12
I know I'm going I know I'm going to
13:13
hear from the da people when I'm off the
13:15
but I think it I from what I heard that
13:18
it was like six or 10 people something
13:20
like that but all right back to business
13:22
U the new covid vaccine is out in the
13:24
States but um maybe you don't want to
13:26
get it just yet well what they're saying
13:29
saying is that that yeah there is a new
13:30
vaccine um the the amount of covid cases
13:35
are on the uptick right now um that
13:39
2,000 people in the states died during
13:42
the month of July that's a lot of people
13:44
it's uh however uh
13:47
25,700 died in 2020 the you know the
13:50
year that the Year of Living Dangerously
13:52
that we all live through but um what
13:55
they're saying the the the people in uh
14:00
in charge is that you may want to wait
14:02
to get your vaccine not because it's
14:04
untested not because it doesn't work but
14:06
because flu season in the states is as
14:09
it is most places is October November
14:12
December that's that sort of thing and
14:14
if you get it now uh it may wear off or
14:18
may be less effective than course then
14:19
Co mutates through time as well so
14:21
you're more susceptible you want to get
14:23
it for the winter season really you know
14:24
the problem is just convincing anybody
14:26
to do it because uh as you remember and
14:29
a lot of people who are listening and
14:31
live over here know we were all dying to
14:34
get the vaccine back in uh in 202 we
14:37
couldn't get it yeah yeah I'm dying
14:40
literally dying a thousand people a day
14:42
justtin Valencia were dying I know that
14:44
and and and and we're a medium-sized
14:46
City terrible numers in Madrid also
14:48
horrible just horrible but but the thing
14:50
is every people in the states got it
14:52
people in the UK had it and we were I
14:54
don't know if we could say we're one of
14:56
the last countries to get it but
14:57
certainly one of the one of the yeah it
14:59
just seemed like all all of a sudden in
15:01
Europe Italy had it and then everybody
15:02
else straight away that's right that's
15:04
right so a lot of it to do with
15:06
reporting so on but but but right now uh
15:08
you know people in the states are very
15:10
nonchalant about it if I get Co I've got
15:12
the figures from the wh right the World
15:13
Health Organization for the seven days
15:15
to the 20 to to the 11th of August this
15:18
year uh
15:20
1,351 and I'm guessing that's per
15:22
100,000 is it look of it I don't know
15:25
yeah um no no that's just the numberal
15:28
that's the total number 351 at Europe
15:30
meanwhile
15:32
36830 36,000 in Europe yeah so we and we
15:36
know that Spain um recently has been
15:38
struggling we we do report regularly on
15:40
the news if there's a spike in numbers
15:42
but um you know we're in the summer
15:44
period And I think that's been a lot of
15:45
traveling people moving about that's um
15:47
that's caused that and of course like I
15:49
say we're not in the winter season yet
15:50
but um a lot a lot but I haven't sorry
15:53
to interrupt but I I I haven't seen a
15:55
lot of chatter you know uh in Europe
15:58
about getting your shots and getting
16:00
that done because that's you know
16:01
obviously four years ago that's all we
16:03
talked about they have standard programs
16:04
for places like Spain I know that my mom
16:06
a lot of her friends they just called in
16:08
and so they they had both the flu and
16:10
the covid some of them at the same time
16:11
they do yeah yeah so so if we go to to
16:13
our local Health Center if you're if
16:15
you're over a certain age which I
16:17
believe is something like 60 um then you
16:20
you you're entitled well I I you know I
16:23
don't think either of us are any were're
16:25
not it's been a while since I've been to
16:26
medical school which was never ever but
16:30
but going to say that yeah okay I don't
16:32
want anybody to go when was it that you
16:34
went uh but it it was uh it's a case
16:38
where I believe in vaccines and I I'm
16:40
going to get mine and I know it helped
16:41
out and you know I got I think I had
16:44
ended up getting what three shots over
16:47
the over those four years yeah I mean
16:49
like I said earlier I know it mutates
16:51
but um you know some people who who
16:53
prefer not to have the vaccines may have
16:55
had it may have not got I know somebody
16:56
who only just got it recently and and
16:57
never got it all the way through the
16:59
pmic but you know um as as things go on
17:02
you build up anti antibodies you know
17:04
the that her um immunity that they were
17:07
talking about um improves um so you know
17:10
it's up to each and everybody on their
17:12
own if they want to get it or not uh
17:14
meanwhile I've seen a couple of um news
17:16
stories and we've not really talked
17:17
about this on the bay radio
17:19
international news uh because it's been
17:21
happening south of Spain West Nile uh
17:24
virus but that has actually come up in
17:26
the news in the states uh not least
17:29
because it's quite a famous person that
17:30
contracted it Dr fouchy Who was the big
17:33
covid guy for he was our he was our Co
17:36
Zar for the entire time under the Trump
17:38
Administration and he came down with
17:40
little westnile and uh he was he's
17:44
combined he's on the upswing right now
17:46
apparently and he's he's combined to his
17:48
home but uh he got it really really
17:51
badly and he got hospitalized yeah yeah
17:53
very much so and you know when he was
17:55
asked how he got it he said I think I
17:57
got it in my backyard I know like he
17:59
traveled somewhere exotic with his job
18:01
you know just in his backyard and where
18:03
where's he from uh I believe he lives in
18:06
New York right right but he is uh 83
18:09
years old so he's got to be really
18:11
careful about that and there's uh but
18:13
but God bless him he's on the upswing
18:15
right now and and um really feeling good
18:19
about that and and that's not something
18:20
you get a vaccination for you can't go
18:23
to my knowledge you can't it's not
18:24
preemptive I don't think you can go to
18:26
your doctor and say could I have a a
18:28
West Nile and I don't I haven't seen for
18:31
me personally uh mosquitoes are not a
18:34
big problem I know they they can be but
18:36
I haven't seen as big of a problem the
18:39
states and those there are people in the
18:41
in the United States who live in places
18:42
like Minnesota oh I'm reading where
18:45
they're the size of of of hummingbirds
18:47
I'm reading a a historical book now and
18:49
it's right at the very beginning of uh
18:50
of American European history if you like
18:54
uh and they are actually focusing quite
18:55
a lot on that on on insects and the like
18:58
I knew they were bad in Canada but I
19:00
didn't realize that it was so much uh
19:01
you know in the United States and the
19:03
southern the Southern United States Al
19:04
also very much because they breed they
19:06
breed in water and a lot of people had I
19:09
remember when I I was living in Oregon
19:10
we had uh uh we used to have a an
19:14
infestation of U of uh mosquitoes from
19:17
from time to time and we had a we had a
19:21
I don't know like a little fountain in
19:22
the back and sometimes the fountain ran
19:24
sometimes it didn't if we plugged it in
19:26
and we had to be careful about that
19:27
because the you know as everybody knows
19:29
the mosquitoes breed in in still water
19:32
and you got to clean those out okay
19:35
we're probably going to run out of time
19:36
if we carry on this way we are today um
19:38
let's move on to uh an Coulter um bit of
19:42
a backlash after uh the posting at the
19:45
convention about Tim waltz's son really
19:50
wrong thing to say uh at the wrong time
19:53
I got to tell you there's something
19:55
wrong with her she ain't right you know
19:57
it's as they say in the South it's you
20:00
know she was anybody who saw the the
20:03
convention uh Tim Waltz the the vice
20:06
presidential candidate his son is 17
20:09
years old and he's special needs he's
20:11
got um uh he has some some issues that
20:15
he's dealing with and ADHD ADH
20:19
anxiety you know a number of things
20:21
non-verbal learning disorder I think the
20:23
correct way to to say it these days so
20:25
so he doesn't speak much but what he
20:27
could say was that's my dad up there
20:30
yeah but he was balling at the time he
20:31
was crying me he was was quite emotional
20:33
he loved his dad so much and he was out
20:35
there crying going oh I love my dad
20:37
that's my dad up there as any of us
20:39
would do not the way that uncult to
20:40
portrayed it no no she she called him
20:43
weird uh can you believe it look at that
20:46
it's it's a weakness and the Democrats
20:49
have done it again blah blah blah and
20:51
I'm I'm going how callous are you to
20:53
make fun of some someone special needs
20:55
kid and really she did get a pce s
20:57
before it she did she's gotten there's
20:58
been a lot of blowback on social media
21:00
she shouldn't have said it and being an
21:02
couter and being a real
21:04
hardnose she didn't back down on any of
21:07
it she doubled down and said well he's
21:09
he's a weird kid so that's and she's
21:10
moving on she was just switching that
21:13
weird Monica back as well from the
21:15
Republicans to the Democrats yeah so
21:17
yeah you know you just don't make fun of
21:19
people who have special needs kids it's
21:21
not sure how much you had to do in the
21:22
polls um but um as you mentioned Harris
21:25
leading Trump by seven points in the
21:28
latest poll which came out Friday right
21:31
yeah yeah she's doing really quite well
21:33
and of course those numbers are going to
21:35
vary up and down depending on the poll
21:37
you look at there's one uh that uh
21:40
that's called a rasmason poll it leans
21:42
heavily Republican so when they they
21:45
they did a poll last week the rasmuson
21:47
poll said Trump is in the lead but it's
21:49
the only one I've seen where where Trump
21:51
is in the lead on anything so everything
21:53
is as I said before is trending upward
21:56
for uh
21:59
and walls um yeah this seven points is
22:02
the largest spread I have seen so far so
22:06
uh I think it's going to change now the
22:08
RFK throwing his support behind Trump
22:12
that may move the needle a little bit
22:14
either way we've got that on our agenda
22:15
a bit later in have we or not at all I
22:17
think it was there and then I'm not sure
22:19
if we've left it in but um I think yes
22:21
we did um uh that was the headline
22:24
wasn't it a UK um site actually Sky News
22:27
saying a sad ending to to a sad story uh
22:30
this was Kennedy's family criticizing
22:31
RFK Jr wasn't it because he endorsed
22:33
Trump and said that obviously he was he
22:35
was uh going to try as an independent uh
22:38
and now has decided to throw his weight
22:40
behind Trump in those states where he
22:42
thought he was going to do quite well
22:43
but of course he he doesn't come from a
22:45
republican family to say the least to
22:49
say the least you know you know his his
22:51
dad was running for president his uncle
22:53
was JFK and and for him to to back a a
22:56
Republican and and he's a little cuckoo
22:59
for Cocoa Puffs you know but he's he's
23:01
run for president now three times 2016
23:04
2020 and now uh on no none of those
23:08
times will he be uh inaugurated as
23:11
president so he threw it behind Trump
23:13
because he's he's he's trying to be a
23:15
rebel but I think he also feels that
23:17
he's going to get a decent position
23:19
following Trump's election where he to
23:21
be elected there you go and and there
23:23
was a lot of talk between between him
23:26
and the Trump camp that he wants to be
23:29
the the uh Secretary of health health
23:32
and human services can you imagine he's
23:35
a non vaxer he has no medical training
23:37
he has no interest in that but why is it
23:40
that particular position is just the
23:41
most innocuous that they can give
23:44
him it's because of his stance on vacc
23:49
yeah that way he can get it through and
23:51
I don't know because he he's a firm
23:53
believer that vaccines cause autism and
23:56
that's the that's what he's been spewing
23:58
for a number of years that's his
24:00
position that's all he has to stand on
24:03
and so for that he's he's angling for
24:06
because he talked about the US
24:08
government's use of vaccine uh mandates
24:11
uh it was basically even in Hitler's
24:12
Germany this is the quote you could
24:14
cross the outs into Switzerland you
24:15
could hide an attic like an Frank did uh
24:17
today the mechanisms are being put in
24:19
place that will make it so none of us
24:20
can run and none of us can hide pretty
24:23
interesting coming from a guy who's who
24:25
comes from in interminable wealth and
24:27
and you know this guy this guy has never
24:30
wanted for anything but he's he's been
24:32
positioning himself as an outsider that
24:34
he's somebody who uh he's not in the
24:38
mainstream like Trump although Trump is
24:40
not on the mainstream he's not on the
24:42
mainstream like Biden and so he can
24:44
offer a little bit more but the most he
24:47
was polling was I heard somebody say
24:49
almost 20% I don't believe that for a
24:51
bit in some states yeah I don't know
24:53
what it was somebody said I saw his
24:54
polls highest 20 IO nah the highest poll
24:57
I ever saw with him is 12 now he's down
25:00
to below five so the big question is are
25:03
his supporters going to go to Trump or
25:05
are they just not going to show up you
25:07
know a lot of these people are just
25:08
going to say I'm not going to vote I'll
25:09
vote for the the senator from Vermont
25:12
I'll vote for my Governor from Iowa
25:15
whoever uh whatever state I'm in but I'm
25:17
just not going to vote for president and
25:19
if that's the case I don't know who it's
25:21
going to hurt
