0:00
our us correspondent Rich Reynolds has joined us for another week how you doing sir howdy Duty you all right doing great
0:07
did you dodge those storms on the way from Valencia you know what coming from Valencia there were no storms I was very but my my car could really use a wash so
0:14
maybe going back I'll uh I'll do that we we've been getting it for the last day or so so You' probably be all right yeah
0:19
before that no we got we were kind of free of any storms just just humidity that's all we get oh I know all we yeah
0:25
it's been terrible um meanwhile as we look at the stories making the hand in the States this afternoon uh Joe
0:33
Biden has been back on the picture in recent days we'll talk about him out on
0:38
the campaign Trail shortly but first of all more importantly the headline that he said Benjamin Netanyahu is not doing
0:45
enough to free Gaza hostages and of course there's been a lot of uh bad news coming out of that story in the last
0:52
couple of days as well God knows we've been talking about it for the past six months since since I started doing the
0:58
show and uh that that situation doesn't seem to be any closer to resolving itself but from from uh every time I've
1:06
seen him do a a any sort of postm of anytime he's done a press conference he
1:11
is meaning Joe Biden is pretty much up to here with uh with Netanyahu and and
1:17
now KLA Harris has had it with him and they they feel that he isn't doing enough to move things forward get it was
1:24
an answer to a question as well he didn't come out and say it he was he was asked whether he thought Netanyahu was doing enough and he replied no um so
1:32
often you know you get the headlines from what the reporters try to get them to say or or not say as well um us
1:38
officials are working on a take it or leave it deal according to the Washington Post uh and of course as I
1:44
mentioned lots of bad news coming from the area in the past few days but he doesn't really show any signs of uh
1:51
stopping anybody that goes up against him including you know the demonstrators who were asking for a hostage deal uh he
2:00
just goes straight back at them and still says and believes everything he's doing is right well that that strike
2:06
they had in the country over the weekend where they had uh thousands of uh of people who were uh protesting and going
2:14
on strike uh shutting down their work just so they could get some movement on this thing that doesn't seem to have
2:19
taken hold at all I don't think that's had any any influence on Netanyahu at all the ball is completely in his court
2:26
as to what's being done uh as We Know and Egypt are also involved in this
2:32
they're trying to move the needle trying to get these hostages back and uh the
2:37
Hamas doesn't seem to want to get rid of them you know they they want to hold on to them as long as possible it's it's an
2:43
impossible situation but uh um it does seem though that perhaps Netanyahu is
2:49
losing the support uh not just of Biden and Harris but also locally and also
2:54
Great Britain's been in the news uh talking about uh stopping some arm sales perhaps not a great deal but some arm
3:01
sales to the area and he's been quite robust in his response to that action very much he's been basically telling
3:06
you to mind your own business but but you're right he doesn't seem to have the uh the support of the US doesn't have
3:12
the support of the UK or any of the other allies and everybody's pretty much seems to uh be ready to move on as
3:20
quickly as possible from this thing and I you know you and I have talked about this for 6 months we're just feel so
3:27
badly for the people who live in that area they can't they can't seem to get a break and you would think that that
3:34
people with uh who are well educated and people who are plugged in and people who
3:39
are compassionate can reach some sort of agreement where they can get this thing done but uh it doesn't seem to be uh
3:46
working right now the US still very much involved as well with the US National Security adviser Jake Sullivan uh
3:52
talking to us families of the remaining hostages as well and Mr Biden expected to present what they're calling a final
3:58
hostage release and CE proposal later this week that's according to the axio website but of course just like we see
4:05
in the war situation in Ukraine as well um a lot of people claim and say different things and it's generally it's
4:11
quite of often all true not all true so it's you know difficult to see whether
4:16
it'll be what the whether it will be a final uh deal or not and well we always talk every week we say hey things could
4:23
happen in the next hour or so but they never do and and so we'll see by next week maybe something will happen I don't
4:29
know know hope so okay to the United States then um big demonstration there
4:35
as well uh Sunday with the 10,000 hotel workers out what was that about it's all
4:41
about the big big hotels as well the big name hotels it's all about money it's all about uh the people at the Hyatt and
4:48
and if you've traveled everybody everybody listening knows what Hyatt and Hilton and I I believe the third one is
4:54
Sheran um they had 10,000 Hotel I apologize to sh to Marriott um
5:02
that workers in uh uh San Francisco San Diego around Canada in Honolulu Boston
5:09
Seattle Greenwich connetic Connecticut um they are on strike or they went on
5:15
strike this weekend and it was a limited strike they only went for a few days uh to protest uh that they want uh a little
5:21
bit of money apparently a lot of these hotels when Co hit they cut back on
5:27
staff but the now they their money back um the hotel housekeepers in a place like
5:33
Baltimore trying to get their wages up to 20 an hour from 162 um in Boston the housekeepers make
5:41
$28 an hour the Union's trying to get them up to $38 an hour in the next four
5:46
years so we'll see a lot of those uh contracts expire this year as well so that new four-year deal is what it's
5:53
about yeah yeah so they they want uh they want to be paid more and and as with all of these strikes it's about
5:59
money so well well I think generally the tourist industry okay while it lost a lot of money during covid it it does
6:05
seem to be in most areas back up and running yeah um perhaps not recouping all of those costs but um you know
6:12
workers perhaps shouldn't need to be still earning less than they were in 2009 all the numbers that we're looking
6:18
at say that that that the travel industry is back up at least in these hotels around 9% from the past um from
6:26
the past couple of years so people seem to be traveling and I don't know about you but when you go to a hotel do you ever see a hotel
6:33
that's kind of empty where there are no people in it no the hotels are kind of jammed with people uh the ones at least
6:39
the ones that I go to so uh I think that it's imperative that uh and and know
6:44
that they will work something out I don't know if they're going to be getting the races they're they're talking about but at a certain point U
6:51
um management is uh is Manning the Manning the Lifeboat so to speak at these hotels and that that's always fun
6:59
they should remember how to do it they should remember how to do it but sometimes they don't I I've as member
7:04
management I've uh I've covered strikes in the past where I've uh I've had to do things that uh I started doing when I
7:10
was a a beginning broadcaster and it's always very interesting at what you remember another big story that's making
7:17
the news in the States this week uh cell phones in schools now a number of
7:23
leaders are Banning them um and the question is are they a distraction or unnecessary tool we're seeing in other
7:29
parts of the world as well I don't know how they're they're looking at things in places like the UK or uh or France or
7:36
Germany or even here in Spain but uh there is a it is it is a major story in
7:42
the States because you have 50 different states and the District of Columbia whove all look look at this kind of
7:47
differently that uh places like California New York Virginia they are looking to ban all cell phone usage um
7:56
within means in other words some of them are allowing cell phones to be used during lunchtime during recess Etc but
8:02
the big question is on theal of a lot of Educators is that under people who are
8:08
underprivileged and underserved only have a cell phone that's that's their only means of
8:14
communication how do they contact their parents if if something happens uh they don't have iPads they don't have
8:21
desktops all they have is a phone so it's a communication issue and I I completely understand that but if I were
8:27
a teacher I would not want my students sitting there uh playing games online
8:32
communicating texting with each other in the classroom or even texting with my mother I I hate to say this as an old
8:39
fogy but if I needed to talk to my mother when I was in school I waited till I got home that was it you know I I
8:48
I got to believe that that there's a little bit of Truth in that now that you can wait so I think
8:54
that that a lot of these states are going to win out and I think that the uh the ban is going to be in place and in
9:01
more and more places as as you go down line don't know if you notice this cuz the uh the story that you were quoting
9:06
from was from USA Today and I L that after the third line uh there is a
9:12
little ad saying bearing in mind that we're talking about not having cell phones start the day smarter get all
9:18
your KN in you need in your inbox every morning of course I know love the way
9:23
that thing sorry a little bit little bit of um little bit of lurgy today so apologies for the odd cough um
9:29
yeah but but if you're a teacher and anybody who's a teacher out there knows about distractions in class I I think
9:36
you'll be in favor of uh of cell phones being either banned or curtailed uh you
9:42
know back in the 80s they used to have a thing about about pagers in in
9:47
classrooms and you know thank God pagers eventually went away but uh it clearly
9:52
is a distraction um and I but but on the other side I see how uh people want to
9:59
if this is your only means of communication how they want to have that at their at their finger is a different
10:04
world these days as well that kids have to travel travel home in could
10:10
be could be a little different than could I don't want to you know but anyway um I I do think that the
10:17
distraction in the classroom is not something that anybody would would want meanwhile at the polls uh Harris
10:23
widening the lead over Trump according to Reuters and ipsos well right now there are about 20 polls that are out
10:29
there on a generally basis that that at least that I'm following and right now the the latest one is from Reuters which
10:37
is a very reputable organization it's a news Gathering organization and and ipsos and last Thursday they have uh
10:44
Harris at 45 Trump at 41 but they're uh they're showing that
10:49
Harris is picking up a lot of support among women and Hispanics while Trump is continuing to do well with uh men who
10:56
have not been to college uh with white men in general blue color workers always lot of blue collor workers and there's
11:03
about a 2% Point margin of error as well we should that's right about two points so it could be she could be up by four
11:10
points she could be up by three points or two points something like that but she's definitely anybody K down um into
11:16
differing um ethnic groups it does actually show a wider division as you pointing out there well the thing that
11:23
that seems to be making the difference when she got appointed to this uh to running in replace of in place of Biden
11:32
is that uh people suddenly very became very very excited about the uh about the
11:37
campaign very excited about her there are a lot of people out there and I have friends in the states that I've talked to said yeah I'm not voting neither
11:44
person excites me I'm not going to vote and no matter how much I could stand on my head and yell you got to vote it's
11:50
really really important thing they're just not just not into it and there are a lot of people who are like that I I'm
11:56
and that's what people you're talking to in the states what about the overseas voters those that you meet up with here in Spain well the overseas voters are
12:03
kind of important um there there could be as much as a ninepoint swing if everybody in uh who
12:11
lives overseas votes so I would encourage everybody to go online and figure out how to vote it's vote from
12:18
abroad.org uh is one of the sites you go to I think there are two or three register to vote I'm registered to vote
12:24
in uh back in the States waiting on my ballot I should get my ballot in about three weeks and be enthusiastic about uh
12:31
about voting for The my the candidate of my choice but if if you're if you're listening out there and you're American
12:38
for God's sake register to vote cast your vote it's kind of your duty and and it's kind of a big thing and you and you
12:44
really your vote will make a difference even living over here interesting out of this poll some 73% of democratic
12:50
registered voters said they were more excited about voting after Harris entered the race while in March uh
12:57
polled by the same bodies writers ipsos found that 61% of respondents who
13:02
intended to vote for Biden were doing so mainly to stop Trump 52% of Harris voters in the August poll were voting to
13:09
support her as a candidate rather than primarily oppose Trump I think that even four years ago people vote for voted for
13:15
Biden because they didn't want Trump to be reelected and uh there was a quite a bit of that but now the enthusiasm seems
13:23
to have swung toward uh Harris um people seem to like uh the way Trump handles
13:30
the economy by a rate of 45 to 36% I I tend to disagree with that but
13:37
uh Harris in by contrast has a 47 to 31% Advantage on abortion and and uh and
13:46
rights like that so issues that are going to come up in the debate which we'll talk about in a moment um but so
13:51
we saw as we mentioned Joe Biden back out on the campaign Trail uh this week as well wowing voters in Pittsburgh Berg
13:59
a great American city uh seal toown USA um rallying the um uh union vote at us
14:08
steel um they have about 10,000 members at the uh 10,000 employees at us Steel
14:14
in Pittsburgh um yeah that Biden has been very forceful along with Harris on
14:21
nurturing and pursuing that union vote which Trump is not but Trump on the other hand still has stood up and said
14:28
well I've been really good toward the uh union worker myself and and we happen to know that is not true at all and and the
14:35
a lot of the union workers already know that so I I think that uh whether or not
14:40
a member of a union looks at a leader of a union says well my boss says to vote
14:46
for uh Harris I'm going to go ahead and do that that remains to be seen but but getting this vote from us steel a lot of
14:53
this has to do with a um the potential purchase of us Steel
14:59
by uh a company called nepon nipon steel uh out of Tokyo that they're trying to
15:06
buy us steel for and I know you know what the number is $4.9 billion do and
15:13
and God knows how many uh union jobs are going to be lost because of that so Harris and Biden are against that um
15:20
that merger and for the record so is Trump so a lot of people are against that so whether or not it actually goes
15:25
through that's in the hands of the FTC the Federal Trade Commission mhm and a lot of times these these big Deals they
15:31
end up getting uh getting blown up political hot potatoes they are meanwhile then tell us about the debate
15:38
when and where oh the debate it's what everybody's waiting for unfortunately is not tonight it is not this week it is
15:45
next Tuesday in Philadelphia um it will be carried live on ABC and CNN if those of you can catch
15:54
that if you anybody living over here that's it's going to be at I believe at :00 Eastern Time meaning it's going to
16:01
be on at 3:00 a.m. here 2 uh 2: a.m. in the UK um they're expecting uh like 60
16:11
70 million people to watch this it's going to be as Trump would say it's going to be huge just huge so um best
16:19
debate ever best best debate ever I'm the best debator there ever has been um
16:25
but you know whether the mics are um are are clipped between we were talking
16:31
about this last week whether the uh the person who's not speaking will have their minds dropped or not um yeah we
16:36
don't know whether that that's not been sorted even has it no they they they were debating it and whether or not it
16:42
actually goes through I I have no idea at this time where they stand with that but you know Harris just has to be
16:49
presidential and she has to be forceful and she's got to take facts got to know her facts and she's going to put him on
16:55
the spit she's going to roast him a little bit uh we know Trump is not really good with facts he's really good with opinion and and kind of pushing
17:02
people around uh but you know she was a a prosecutor so she spent a lot of her
17:08
life in a courtroom and I think she's going to uh do very very well uh he's going to really be driving the whole
17:15
thing about consumer prices because uh no matter how much the the economy is improving not only in the US but in
17:22
Spain and and other European countries the cost of living is up quite
17:27
a bit it's up at least almost 20% in the past four years and you can't turn your
17:32
back on that and so he's going to be hammering that home toward her and she's going to be talking about voting rights
17:39
and uh abortion and and issues like that so we'll see what happens next a lot to
17:45
win and a lot to lose let all be there Tuesday night um yeah okay and just the
17:50
few things that have been going on uh on the Harris Trump front uh recently the
17:56
appearance of trump at Arington uh Cemetery which is uh blown up out of all
18:02
proportion well I think this is a big story and I I think it's it it was
18:07
covered extensively by every New York and every American News outlet and that
18:13
is that that Trump appeared at the uh at Arlington Cemetery which is you know for
18:19
for not only for Americans but for everybody who visits it's sacred ground you've got 100,000 uh soldiers buried
18:26
there and you don't go in there with a photo of and he was his presence was requested by um around 12 of the me I
18:35
want to get this right 13 service members were killed that's correct they were killed when the US uh moved out of
18:43
Afghanistan three years ago so this was the third anniversary so the families of
18:49
these three servicemen asked that Trump show up from what we understand and we get conflicting information about this
18:55
they did not ask either Biden or Harris uh uh yeah Biden or Harris to show up so
19:00
Trump shows up and they they shot a bunch of pictures over gravestones with him giving the thumbs up and it was they
19:08
used it on the campaign material didn't they they used it exactly they shot a spot with it they they used it as
19:14
campaign material even though there is a sign that says no photographs allowed on this ground they still went ahead and
19:20
did it because there was also the issue about a cemetery employee who who was pushed aside um and uh she said she was
19:26
unfairly attacked and was uh she acted professionally um but yeah this is what I think caused the whole thing to blow
19:33
up out of out of proportion really you know it I'm sure that person was not
19:38
knocked to the ground and not punched and hit and that sort of thing but people do tend to say oh there was a physical
19:44
altercation um and that's been confirmed by a lot of sources but it comes to me it comes down to one thing it's respect
19:51
it comes down to should you be doing photo ops at a national cemetery I think
19:56
the answer would be no Others May agree with that but I believe that uh my
20:02
father is buried in a uh military cemetery I don't think I would want
20:07
anybody going to his grave site and and shooting photos of any kind over them apparently
20:13
a number of the uh families were happy for pictures to be taken but whether they were saying that they wanted M on
20:19
the campaign Trail I don't know and then of course there was subsequently the truth social accounts um where a number
20:25
of families were also asking kamla Harris directly why she was wasn't there but as you said at the outset Trump was
20:31
invited by the members of some of these 13 families and perhaps she wasn't um that's not made clear in any of the
20:37
stories yeah I saw an interview with one person who said well we didn't invite them that's why they were not there but
20:42
others at the at the same time said well we would love to love it if they had been there but why didn't they come so
20:49
you're getting it from both sides I'm not really sure what the truth confused with the I I have to say with the
20:54
American networks I get confused cuz I know which way they generally come down on what but but to be honest I lose
21:01
track because it's not that I get confused I get confused about what's the actual truth yeah and former president
21:07
Donald Trump said on Sunday that he had every right to interfere with the 2020 election still two criminal cases up
21:13
well yeah he did an interview with Fox and he he whenever he is interviewed by Fox News he lets it all hang out and uh
21:21
he pretty much uh agreed with the fact that he had interfered with the election and he had every right to do it he said
21:27
uh every time I interfere in something my poll numbers go up I'm paraphrasing he said but I had every right to do it
21:35
and you get indicted your poll numbers go up when people indict you your poll numbers go down that makes no sense at
21:41
all you know you know so he was indicted again last week of course um over the
21:47
efforts to overturn the loss um and he's accused to try to carry out a multipronged effort which included uh
21:54
trying to disenfranchise voters in certain States and interfering with the election results by repeatedly claiming
21:59
it was stolen even though he knew those claims were false and uh do we have a date for these now when is it going to
22:06
come it's going to be after the election right it's probably going to be after the election which point you know if he wins he could have pardon himself anyway
22:12
so well that's very very true and the big question is can he do that uh and the Supreme Court doesn't even know if
22:18
he can pardon himself it's never been brought up in 250 years nobody's ever tried to Pardon themselves but nobody
22:24
ever had a reason to one of the judges who was involved in that actually said in the week that she wished she hadn't
22:30
gone that way for you know yeah oh you know right now the the Republican Party seems and Trump seem to be more
22:36
concerned with not getting more people to vote for Trump but in voter suppression and getting people not to
22:42
vote for Harris and making it more difficult especially in places like the South places like like Georgia
22:48
Mississippi and they ask for a number of different kinds of ID uh you know you've
22:53
got to have a a certain kind of uh of driver's license and a lot of people don't drive D so in other words if you
23:00
don't have a driver's license a lot of States say lot of Americans don't have passports do they that's the only ID
23:05
they have is Dri I think they're I think a lot of the people in my family for instance don't have passports and so
23:11
they a lot of States they make it very very difficult for people especially people of color to to vote uh people who
23:19
are older who uh you know don't pay attention that sort of documentation don't carry that sort of documentation
23:25
and so it's a little more difficult so if they can keep older people educated
23:30
people uh people of color from voting they could win educated people yeah yeah
23:36
they could win um yeah I but there there bit I don't know if that's you know maybe one way of going about it I I'm
23:42
not sure um that um it will actually do them do any good there I don't know I don't think so um those generally those
23:48
people have probably been excluded in in the past anyway from that's right and for them to say they say hey and it's
23:55
well documented on uh in media this is their trick this is what they want to do so th those of you listening out there
24:01
who are American don't fall for the trick get your documentation find out what you need to have within your state
24:07
if you need a driver's license you need a passport get go get that stuff and and get out there and vote back to
24:14
Fox um and Donald Trump was telling the Fox News host that he thinks God
24:20
believes he'll straighten out the country after he survived the assassination attempt in July that was
24:26
why God maybe saved him in his own words yeah he said if you believe in God you believe that uh that I was saved from
24:33
doing this and God wants me to uh help the country that's that's a paraphrase
24:38
but that's basically what he was saying um he was saved by the Savior to uh uh
24:44
to continue and to be reelected and to uh save the United States of America God
24:50
love you okay so uh meanwhile couple of big issues at stake within the election
24:55
Trump has signaled his support for Florida's marijuana legalization that was just a day after saying they would
25:01
vote against a separate ballot measure that would expand abortion rights in Florida well we know for a fact because
25:07
he said so and I have no reason not to not to believe him that he doesn't smoke he doesn't drink and he doesn't do drugs
25:13
but now he's in favor of marijuana being uh being approved for recreational use
25:19
in the State of Florida it's also on the ballot in North Dakota and South Dakota and very very slowly uh we are
25:25
approaching a majority of states in the country where it is allowed um they have a majority right now for medicinal
25:32
purposes if you get a note from your doctor you can you can get pot but right now uh I think the number is um uh 24
25:40
States approximately have uh that's right 24 states in the U uh District of
25:47
Colombia have legalized uh the recreational use of cannabis and 14
25:52
others have approved it for medical use so those are the exact numbers um the governor of Florida Ronda Sanz
25:59
has uh who is supporting Trump is against it being legalized and and my
26:04
feeling is that saying like Republicans are divided on these issues they are divided that ISS Democrats yeah
26:11
Democrats a little bit but the fact is it's it's like a a ball rolling downhill
26:16
it's picked up enough momentum and pot's been around for an awfully long time um and so what's going to happen is it's
26:23
going to be eventually uh approved in all states it may it may take years but it's going to
26:29
happen um it's you know the what happened in Florida is Dan sanis was saying I don't want to smell pot
26:36
everywhere I go that's why I don't want it well you know I I came from Oregon where pot is legal and I can tell you I
26:42
didn't smell pot wherever I went it was places where it isn't legal you smell it everywhere anyway you know it's like
26:47
like get over it and just move on it's you know people aren't dying from it it's not not that big a deal when you
26:52
come down to it something you've picked up on is uh the uh Helmsley trust which
26:58
actually did quite a lot of good work in the health area uh of American industry
27:04
the the latest award or financial award is uh to try and help clear up the Great
27:09
Pacific Garbage Patch as it's known this is a story that that I've wanted to talk about for a couple of weeks and I think
27:16
it's kind of important but there is a huge patch of garbage floating off the
27:21
state of California it's twice the size of Texas and it's been there for a number of years and there's a group
27:28
being funded by the Helmsley group um and they are slowly very slowly
27:37
um pulling this thing apart and Hauling it back to shore where all this it's
27:43
mostly plastic by the way well actually reading through the detail a vast
27:48
majority of it is actually old fishing nets and that's right there is a lot of old fishing fishing net but think about
27:54
it it's twice the size of of a gigantic State like Texas do is they go and they they chop it apart and they only go out
28:01
once a year so they for instance they're they're I believe they're out there right now they're out there during the month of August they won't return till
28:07
next year and so what happens is they're chopping this thing apart and a lot of
28:12
times they just put a boom around it and they drag it into into uh Shore and and
28:19
it takes five days for them to to to drag it into uh into the West Coast so I
28:25
I just think it's kind of an important story it's good that something's B being done uh I mean it's amazing that it doesn't actually move because it's the
28:31
way it's caught in the currents it's pretty much in the same place which is probably a good thing it's not getting distributed you know which would be much
28:37
more difficult to um to bring in but I understand from from interviews and such and from watching videos about it that
28:44
that you can see it from space it's a it's it's it's disgusting it's absolutely disgusting but but they are
28:50
making their way chopping it apart I think they've been working on about three or four years now and uh hopefully
28:56
in the next five to 10 years it'll all be done and it it is the good news is it's not growing yeah it's not growing
29:03
it's actually decreasing in size because of the work these people okay um now
29:08
you're a big film buff yep uh films to watch in September Beetle Juice Beetle juu Mr calling it just Beetle Juice too
29:15
which is quite good and wolves I thought it was wolves but anyway yeah I I there
29:21
there a couple of you know everybody knows when the the summer movies are gone and the uh the big movie of the
29:27
summer was Deadpool but the more cerebral movies start coming out in in September o when they have all of the um
29:34
the different film festivals so you get slightly more High Bride things coming out and uh a couple of films to watch
29:41
out for we're not going to get into all of them but there's a documentary on Apollo 13 which is which is going to be
29:47

29:53
couple days um there is also as you mentioned there's a movie called wolf
29:58
which is out now and pit George Clooney and Brad Pit it's a caper movie sort of
30:04
like uh Oceans 11 and the two of them are very watchable the the reviews have been okay you know it's what I've been
30:10
reading is that it's it's a lot of fun don't expect much it's Clooney in pit
30:15
just kind of kidding around but the movie I'm excited about there are two movies and one is Beetlejuice
30:22
Beetlejuice which everybody's heard about Michael Keaton uh returning to form and the reviews have been sensation
30:28
it's Tim Tim Burton's first movie in 5 years since he did Dumbo but apparently
30:33
it's a a wonderful wonderful uh not really scary but but maob film that that
30:39
people are uh really singing the Praises of the other movie I want to talk about before we go because I know we're really
30:45
tight on time is megalopolis I was going to bring it up anyway okay what what do you know about it oh all I know is it's
30:51
something that Francis for Couer was working on for years thought it would never happen it's happened and people hate it apparently it's horrible
30:59
I was right I don't know you know it was it played at at uh I think it played at
31:04
the Venice Film Festival I think it played at may have played at Sundance uh you're right he's been working on it for
31:09
40 years uh you know we haven't heard much from him in the past 20 years and you got to give the guy some props I
31:15
mean anybody who directs three Godfather films and Apocalypse Now and he's he's
31:21
truly a great director but at the end of the day right now he's 80 I want to say 83 years old um he invested a
31:28
I think is he 85 I I I'll go with that uh $120 million of his own money with
31:34
Adam Driver sha buff Aubrey Plaza and Dustin Hoffman comes out the end of this month has gotten terrible reviews some
31:41
people did actually like you I have to say some critics film critics said they did but a lot of critics watched it and said I have no idea what I'm watching
31:48
and there are those movies where you walk out of the theater and you say what did I just see I have no no idea but uh
31:55
