0:00
we're heading towards a US election as generally most people would know by now
0:05
uh we'll get to that shortly meanwhile let's take a look our immediate Affairs and news today from Israel uh saying
0:13
that air strikes have revealed hezbollah's $500 million stash under
0:19
Beirut hospital I think the quote was something like they could have used this to rebuild Lebanon instead they used it
0:25
to rebuild Hezbollah yeah and clearly they're using the the hospital and they they had continued to do this whether it
0:31
was uh uh down that Hamas has done the same thing down south and this is just
0:37
using it to kind of Shield all the money they've got and all the money they've got has come from Iran and Iran is uh
0:43
given them this cash that they are they are just flush with money apparently not anymore yeah what are the US doing about
0:51
the situation here because there was a leak over the weekend wasn't there about perhaps what the plans might be about
0:58
the expected strike on and we're not quite sure they weren't saying where that leak came from but the US are quite
1:04
worried about it yeah it's something they absolutely should be uh should be aware of and be afraid of but uh clearly
1:12
um that was not a good thing that that information got out ahead of time so uh I don't know I you you could run you
1:18
could run down this information all you want and I don't think you're going to really necessarily find out what the leak is but uh but you know clearly um
1:28
you know they're you know worse things like the uh uh the Islamic State now having a foothold in the US and things
1:36
gearing up that way well the headline from that story is you are next these
1:41
are online posts showing the Islamic State interest in attacks on the United States ahead of the election this is
1:47
internet chatter and an arrest I think in Oklahoma wasn't it yeah Oklahoma City they they found a guy named Nasir toii
1:55
who is 27 years old and he admitted to investigators that he was expiring that
2:00
on Election Day He was going to create all sorts of mischief and uh we're not really sure what that is but there were
2:06
going to be Isis attacks on uh on the west but the um uh the FBI and the CIA
2:12
found out about it and but both organizations are concerned that this is going to continue to happen and that Ian
2:20
Isis is kind of back baby you know in a in a bad way this is an incident obviously they've discovered but they
2:26
know there's plenty of chatter elsewhere right across all of the what they call the chat boards and encrypted apps as
2:31
well um but let's hope that they manage to stay on top of that information uh because the last thing we need is that
2:38
sort of chaos involved uh at the same time as the elections and whatever Fallout that brings um also uh lots of
2:46
different things being picked up by both candidates to beat the other with um
2:51
abortion rights have been a big uh part of this and news released that in the
2:57
year and a half following the Supreme Court do decision that revoked the federal right to an abortion hundreds
3:02
more infants died than expected in the US this is not something that I think they they thought their way through they
3:08
just said well we're going to we're going to cut back on the amount abortions we're going to be pro-life we're going to be uh we're going to stop
3:15
all this nonsense so we should point out then that the vast majority of those infants that died had congenital
3:21
anomalies or birth defects uh and perhaps that could have been or would have been avoided under the previous
3:26
rulings that's that's right uh so they found that their there were a lot of uh children that that were born with
3:34
diseases that they uh they absolutely couldn't get over they couldn't be they couldn't be healed and um but the
3:41
journal the Journal of of of the American Medical Association said that that infant mortality rates for those 18
3:47
months following the dobs decision um caused the the amount of infant
3:53
mortality to raise about 7% higher than uh typical uh leading to an average of
3:58
247 more infant deaths than in any of those months that that that's a lot of
4:05
kids to to have died and I think this is something that that is going to heat up quite a bit as this information gets
4:12
digested and gets mold around a little bit well it's got to filter through to the campaigns for both candidates at
4:18
some point one would think speaking of which dead Heats across swing States
4:23
according to the latest Washington Post poll Harris and Trump are well can't be
4:30
can't be really separated on the main polls no and every time you look at a different poll it's a it does it matters
4:36
which poll you you look at but the average person and that would be you and that would be me looks at this and we
4:42
don't know the difference between a lot of these polls which one is democratic which one is Republican conservative or
4:48
liberal but what happens is right now they're there and and we've said this for how many weeks now a couple of
4:54
months they're in a dead heat uh she leads in Georgia by a little bit uh he leads in North Carolina now and um
5:03
according to yesterday's poll uh they are neck and neck in seven of the Battleground States so we would tell
5:09
everybody all the expats out there and anybody who is listening who is American who is in maybe listening back in the
5:16
States for God's sake get out there and vote no matter who you vote for get out there and make sure your uh your voice
5:22
is is heard because it it is going to be a a a pot boiler I'm telling you aside
5:28
from the main poles like who would you vote for you get the other side ones like where the most recent one on the
5:34
economy who do you think is going to be able to handle the economy better and actually CA Harris came out ahead on
5:39
that one but as you said we're never quite sure whether it's a democrat or a republican poll so I know and and she
5:45
you're right when we talked about it last week she came out being a lot higher that she would handle the economy a little bit better uh a lot of people
5:52
have have selective memory where they say oh when Trump was President the economy was good one point it was he was
5:59
doing okay but I got to tell you right after that came covid and that and the economy almost completely tanked well
6:06
that happened pretty much everywhere everywhere absolutely everywhere and so uh but right now the economy seems to be
6:12
on an upswing it's a matter of convincing people some good news today actually coming out of that economic meeting in the states as well um
6:19
particularly for Britain and we'll cover that in the last hour of the program in our in our business news rather than try and fight our way through uh stuff as
6:25
it's breaking at the moment but some relatively good news for the economy coming from the international monetary
6:31
Fund in the States today uh meanwhile it gets worse and worse there are nasty
6:37
turns every step of the way with the way that the campaigning is going and um a
6:43
third of Americans agree with Trump that immigrants quote poison the blood of the
6:48
US now forgive me before we go anywhere else but I thought a lot of Americans were
6:54
immigrants um probably 75% of all Americans are either immigrants or or
7:00
going back to or three generations are immigrants I'm my point I'm the child of
7:05
I'm a I'm a second generation American um my wife's family goes back three or 4
7:11
hundred years but outside of that and Trump has German Heritage amongst others he does he does but he by using the term
7:19
poisoning the blood that is a as you know it's a Nazi term it's a term that M
7:25
it was it's in there it was in minec and exactly and uh it's it's absolute Nazi re rhetoric and
7:34
uh Trump was was talking about this at a rally in New Hampshire uh LA or late
7:39
last year and continues to use the term blood poisoning which is so divisive and
7:44
so wrong what I don't get though is that he's still trying to gain the votes of
7:50
people who have been more recently immigrants into the United States and and and there was one quote from a
7:56
Latino voter who said we don't feel that he's talking about us I know and the fact that any Latino
8:02
voter would vote for him is is kind of dis disheartening to me because that's
8:07
who he's talking about and uh he is he is in fact and as he's clarified I'm
8:12
talking about illegal aliens who have come into the country but there's so many legal aliens who' have come in and
8:19
they they become American citizens and they've done everything the right way um you know there's a there's a blacks for
8:25
Trump movement as well though isn't there yeah that's that's equally comedic you know that's that's hilarious but you
8:33
know he's and he's he's got more people uh that uh black voters who seem to be
8:38
uh leaning toward him and wanting to vote for him this time than Jo you think because of yeah perhaps for Joe Biden
8:43
but of course the difference is now uh that it's uh a woman of black and Indian Heritage who is trying to become the
8:51
next president of the United States so what we're saying here is then that some black men would rather vote for Trump
8:57
than white vote for a woman under black Heritage yeah people as is that's that's
9:03
worrying I think that I think people in general don't like women there are a lot of people who just flat out don't don't
9:09
like women they they wouldn't uh vote for a woman that was another headline this week wasn't it misogynistic vote very misogynistic about that I mean I'm
9:16
you and I aren't two of those people but we are uh there are a lot of people out there that would rather vote for somebody that hates them than than to
9:23
vote for a woman and I I you know just indulging oursel with things from the American billboard chart Years Gone by
9:30
74 raspberries and overnight sensation not one of the bands that you roded for I did Ro for them you did I did I told
9:38
you I know I told you I I WR I roted for the uh I think I did three or four you
9:43
were cutting up oranges for these guys or was that else no yes yes I was yes I was cutting up oranges for yes and I did
9:50
roie for I did roie for uh for the rasb just a couple of concerts around Ohio when I lived there but they were the
9:57
boys out of Cleveland they were just a bar band they had just all they had was go all the way at the time and then this
10:02
came a little bit later so uh yeah they treated me well yeah excellent to hear it I think I made all the two and a half
10:09
bucks an hour or something like it's not bad back in the day is it really let's face it 74 that sort of era not too bad
10:14
at all okay back to the US election and uh lots have been has been said about
10:22
the project 2025 and they lead up to the election it seems the Trump team saying
10:28
now they'll Blacklist project 2025 people uh in a sign of the plan's toxicity now we've talked about this a
10:34
few times already uh but uh previously it was being Trump was backing it we
10:39
were we were actually way ahead of this thing we've been talking about it for about six months and um Trump was it's
10:46
not that he personally said he was in favor of it he kept saying I don't know anything about this I he said but if I
10:54
did know something about it I'd be against it which was incredibly stupid of him to say it that way but but that's
11:01
kind of trump speak and that's you know that's the way in a sentence it's about a big plan to overhaul the US government
11:07
right it is it's a matter to essentially to overthrow the US government and take anybody who disagrees with Trump and
11:13
this is all by the way in in case Trump wins if Trump wins the plan is to dis to
11:20
do away with the Department of Education Department of Homeland Security uh and
11:25
have only people who agree with Trump to be put in into positions of of authority
11:31
um forgive me for saying this but his eldest son Donald Jr is is actually putting together the list of people are
11:37
going to be B is oh good lord so how can he not know anything about it let's put the fox in charge of the hen house while
11:44
we're out of it but but but now he's talking about blacklisting so he's gone the other way from from uh I only want
11:51
people having a negative effect on the campaign baps no I think people are going to kind of see through that I I really believe they they are I mean
11:58
every I mean how how many every single week that we talk how many things do we come up with for you to dislike this man
12:04
and and people still support him and his numbers maintain a strength but I don't think anything position he takes on
12:10
Project 2025 I don't think the people out there that support him are actually reading project 2025 they don't know
12:17
about it they don't care about it the list that Donald junor is putting together actually is the staffers in the Trump Administration who are working on
12:23
Project 2025 soorry that's slightly the wrong way around but it's still a big worrying concern that um there was this
12:31
project 2025 um which seemed to be part of the Trump Camp seemed to be something
12:36
was going to be implemented uh if he got back into Power immediately and uh it's now looking too toxic for him to even be
12:43
in in in in charge or in touch with in charge of well now he's saying that that
12:48
he wants nothing to do with it and anybody who is part of that is not going to be part of his campaign but in effect
12:56
uh 18,000 Republicans and 100 think tanks have had some involvement in to to
13:02
put this whole thing together Trump himself Trump is not putting this together it was a bunch of people who are like-minded who are basically saying
13:10
I mean the last time it's a Manifesto the last time he went in he did actually turn over this staff at a record rate
13:16
anyway he did he had he had how many secretaries of State he had three or four he had three or four Attorneys
13:23
General he had uh yeah he he had a huge amount of basically if they tried to
13:29
reain him in they got the sack that's exactly what it is that's exactly what it is okay whilst we're on the subject
13:34
of the former president of the United States perhaps soon to be the next let's
13:40
go uh to the big photo op of the week and uh he was in McDonald's do you want
13:47
friiz with that yeah a lot of people saw him in McDonald's in this we don't know what he
13:54
has about McDonald's well we do it took a while for him to get this opportunity together but you remember was talking
13:59
about saying that kamla had never worked at McDonald's after she said that she had and number said they remember cuz
14:05
they were there yeah why would she why would somebody say they worked at McDonald's who didn't work at McDonald's nobody would he keeps on bringing it up
14:11
so obviously bugging him he's obsessed he totally refutes the fact he says that she never did so anybody that has not
14:16
seen the video should go on YouTube and look at the video of of MC of of trump
14:22
working the French fry line at McDonald's so we also say that it was a closed McDonald's closed to Stage the
14:28
whole thing people were picked they only picked Beautiful People which as he said he remarked on how beautiful he found
14:34
the family in the car so he goes out there and these people are stopping and he's complimenting them oh what a
14:40
beautiful family where do these beautiful people come from you're you're paying them that's where they come from
14:45
and the the the McDonald's in Pennsylvania it was in uh um I'm I'm not sure where feille yeah
14:54
feille that's right it doesn't roll off the top of my tongue but but uh they stage the whole thing and and he said I
15:01
could do this all day I could do this all day he said this is a great job and and people really
15:07
work hard in these jobs which they do oh but he was asked about the minimum wage and he dodged it no that's true that's
15:14
very very true he was he's not going to he's not going to jump into that but um yeah he he he decided he wanted to be
15:21
every every day every day of the week There's a different costume it's a different that's politics that's
15:26
election campaigning isn't it but but but don't see her pretending to be a clown or a barista or she's not she's
15:33
not joining the circus and she's not uh being a ventriloquist she's very much
15:39
who she is but he's always playing a part it's always pandering pandering each to their own I'm glad we've got
15:44
slightly different candidates it' be boring if they were the same wouldn't it all right there's that it would be okay
15:49
with you little so let's focus a little bit more on campaigning then um what's
15:55
been happening in in the meat of everything apologies for that own a phrase um where um the Stars been
16:02
turning out for kamla Harris Trump got a bit tied up talking about um well Arnold
16:08
Palmer's Anatomy at one stage yeah he went to latro Pennsylvania which is Arnold Palmer's Hometown and he he he
16:16
gave a speech on the runway and I think everybody out there knows where this is going and every everybody's aware of
16:22
what what he's doing but he started talking about Arnold Palmer being a real man Arnold Palmer uh other men uh uh
16:31
commenting on his Anatomy when he had his towel off and saying oh boy what a guy you know and and that sort of thing
16:37
and and uh truly truly off color I mean I I don't know why he would even get
16:43
into this because in the conversation he said oh I shouldn't say it but I'm going to say it and you know why why would you
16:51
ever say anything like that so he he commented that he embarrassed that and and and well it's rather ludd and that's
16:57
not something that generally goes down very well in the US at all no it has not gone over well with with the people that
17:04
I've talked to and the people that I've read uh Waltz was straight back at him as well wasn't he he did he absolutely
17:09
did uh and she was saying this is not becoming a president of the United States and she's I I believe she's
17:14
absolutely right I mean uh it it turns out that that from what we've read I I
17:20
read a quote from uh Palmer's daughter who was in her late 60s and she said uh
17:27
he was a big supporter of Trumps but but I felt this was inappropriate for you know someone in that position so but she
17:34
also Shrugged It Off by going n what are you going to do you know she's just going to let it let it roll which I
17:39
think probably it's going to it's just going to leave the news cycle within the next day or two but you know in the in
17:44
the a couple of days since we've been off the air it's uh it's always something isn't it well it is uh
17:50
meanwhile K Harris is is looking for some big names to help her support her campaign and um Dick Cheney's daughter
17:57
was amongst part of that of course um from the other side yeah uh she is uh
18:02
she's really stepping up to to campaign for her and and I know that she's got the support of her father who is the
18:09
most conservative right-wing Republican in the country I mean she's right behind
18:14
him but I I confess there's got to be a cabinet position in this for her you know because she has she has kind of
18:20
sprinkled around I'm going to have Republicans in my in in my cabinet that's what I want you know to have
18:26
another voice and blah blah blah and boy if this if this is not wreaking of they
18:32
they have some sort of a deal if she wins she's going to be Secretary of State or Secretary of the Interior home
18:39
would be a big one for somebody from the other that would be you know Secretary of States usually don't last two terms
18:45
in the old days they used to but there's there's so much fing I mean Anthony blinkin this this poor guy I mean he's
18:50
spending all his time in the Middle East he's spending uh all his time trying to uh settle this Israeli U uh help this I
18:58
I should say help to settle this Israeli dispute he's pretty good on guitar as well who would want that job who would
19:05
want that job I mean that's that's got to be the worst job um right uh this is one that has passed at the moment the
19:12
mainstream media outside of the United States in fact really the mainstream media in the states as well CA Harris
19:17
promising full marijuana legislation I don't know if that's just happened overnight uh but certainly you would
19:23
have thought in Britain that would have been picked up pretty big style it was in other elections around Europe in like
19:28
German for instance so why not in the states if she's saying she's going to legalize marijuana why is that not
19:34
suddenly become the story I don't because it's been it's been covered it's
19:40
been covered over I should say by the Trump story in in Pennsylvania by basic
19:46
campaigning but but clearly that that story it's a fresh story it's like in the past so we expected to 48 hours I
19:52
think it's going to grow a little bit um I don't think you can go out there and say I'm going to legalize weed and have
19:57
uh no coverage of this thing it got covered by the Cannabis time well exactly it cannabis culture I'm thinking
20:03
well that's why I was thinking like hang on why haven't I seen this on any of the other networks so far I don't you know so yeah expect it to expect it to blow
20:10
up in your face I would say and I don't think and I don't think Trump is going to be against this at all I don't think you're going to see him coming out
20:16
against this I don't think he's got as we say a dog in this fight I don't think he has an opinion one way or another but
20:22
the fact that something like 55% of all the states in America already have
20:29
legalized legalized pot and and I have I can tell you from coming from one of those States it's not a big deal I mean
20:36
everybody in these other states I remember talking to somebody who's from South Carolina and they were going oh
20:41
it'll never happen here we would never allow that and I go oh it's happening it's going to happen you know eventually
20:47
maybe 20 years but it's going to happen it's you know once once that so not such a big thing in the states not it's you
20:53
know once a Genie's out of the bottle it'll be fine I mean I'm not it's not something that appeals to me but it is
20:58
something that a lot of people like and you know when people start to really like you know it's like prohibition you
21:04
know they tried they tried prohibiting that stuff and see how the well that worked so uh no I think this is going to
21:10
be a bigger story I think you're going to see more and more people coming in and saying you know she's going to get
21:16
the pad vote yeah I mean there was a quote actually and um obviously this is from the Cannabis culture um website and
21:24
I'm not so I'm not quite sure exactly because they've not quoted it um she said but as part of her pledge she would
21:29
take steps to ensure that black men disproportionately incarcerated and disenfranchised by the War on Drugs
21:35
would stand to profit from the industry well that also has something to
21:41
do with what Biden said Biden also said that he he was pardoning people who had
21:47
cannabis infractions and and letting them out of jail I mean there's so many people in jail in the states just
21:53
because they they used a little weed and now he's trying to get them freed and so
21:59
consequently it's uh uh there is a lot of that uh to it I mean in that uh a a
22:06
huge amount of the people who are incarcerated are black and they are in for drug violations and not hard drugs
22:13
or they're in for just possessing weed smoking weed and so she's hoping to do
22:18
that and and get exactly and get all those people out of jail and get them back to their families and and you know
22:24
back to might create a b of a bigger problem further down the line I didn't know because obviously there's a school have thought that um that leads on to
22:30
harder drugs but that's somewhere else on another day us correspondent Rich Reynolds is with us this afternoon so
22:36
Donald Trump criticized his rival CA Harris for not attending during his speech at the Al Smith Charity Dinner in
22:42
New York Harris did appear in a pre-recorded skip for the event with actress and comedian Molly Shannon in
22:47
which she lightly mocked Trump the event of course historically features the exchange of Jabs between presidential
22:53
candidates who would also typically poke fun at themselves will get a little bit of a listen to what both candidates were
23:01
saying and get Rich's reaction after the two candidates for president are supposed to exchange good natured barbs
23:07
is there anything that you think that maybe I shouldn't bring up tonight um well don't lie Thou shalt not bear false
23:13
witness to Thy Neighbor indeed especially thy neighbor's election results I understand the real reason
23:20
that she's not here is she's hunting with her running matate spending a lot of time
23:26
hunting in any event to say weird weird weird weird you know the word weird
23:32
maybe don't say anything negative about Catholics I would never do that no matter where I was that would be like
23:37
criticizing Detroit in Detroit there's a group called white dudes for Harris have
23:43
you seen this white dudes for Harris but I'm not worried about them at all because their wives and their wives
23:50
lovers are all voting for me just so you know there will be a fact Checker there tonight oh that's great who Jesus if if
23:58
you really wanted vice president Harris to accept your invitation I guess you should have told her the
24:04
funds were going to bail out the looters and riters in Minneapolis and she would
24:10
have been here guaranteed she would have been here guaranteed does it bother you
24:15
that that Trump guy insults you all the time because it really bothers my friends and me oh Mary Katherine it's
24:20
very important to always remember you should never let anyone tell you who you are you tell them who you are I didn't
24:28
like very much and now I like him quite a bit you know it's and now I say
24:34
that she's much worse than him he was a much better candidate than her actually
24:39
and when we hopefully win dispose of her I like her a lot but right now I can't
24:45
stand ER can't stand so it's a little bit more vitriolic than um generally we
24:50
get at the Charity Dinner surely yeah this thing has been going on for almost a hundred years Al Smith was a governor
24:55
of New York back in the 20s and when I was a boy and so uh I I I remember him
25:02
distinctly but she the usually the barbs are very very gentle and he took some
25:08
real shots at Hillary back in 2016 and he got booed off the stage and uh people
25:14
walked out of the room he did the exact same thing this time and people applauded and people laughed you saw you
25:20
heard all the laughter and people really were digging it I mean they they they they kind of loved her and and it is
25:26
just my opinion that I think she screwed up by not attending this dinner um because not only uh was she not there
25:33
and the from what I I've read the the tap piece she did with Molly Shannon fell kind of flat in the room yeah I
25:40
mean especially because that raises millions of dollars for Catholic charity so actually bringing you know maybe one
25:46
thing to gauge the room and and make that comment while you're there but to try and do it on video and then it it
25:52
not work it's not great no she I think she should have made the effort I don't know what her schedule looks like I imagine they said she was campaigning
25:57
but I think that they should have missed that really I wonder whether it was they just want to put her in the same room I
26:03
don't know I don't know it was It was kind of important it was a little bit of a faux by not showing up Mia showed up
26:09
though of course which she's not really been on the campaign Trail has she no no but she was there no she was there she
26:14
didn't look very happy to be there but but she never looks happy to be with him so but but thing is he was very
26:19
vitriolic about her and said some very nasty things and there was some swearing and which uh I I probably would have a
26:27
problem in front of the that was highlighted um yeah it was um but well there we go that's what we come
26:33
to expect of the current incumbents on the uh election campaign and um if
26:39
you're having a bit too much of it all and uh basically can't wait for the next
26:44
two weeks for it to be over uh with five ways to take care of your mental health in election season go on this is called
26:52
election anxiety and it appears to be a real thing and I need to give my hat is off to my my beautiful wife who called
26:59
attention to this and she said do you know about election anxiety I said no I didn't she goes well I'm I'm reading this thing about it and it's all about
27:06
how prior to an election especially one like this that is very very uh vitriolic
27:12
and very closely contested that people are not buying houses they're not buying cars uh they're not getting married
27:19
they're not making Investments they're all kind of slowing down to kind of see how things are we know the stock market
27:24
does not like um change and they don't like uh anything that they can't see
27:30
coming down the track and so uh it's it's run through some it's a bit of it's
27:36
a slump the first thing you have to do is understand what's fueling your symptoms uh it's the uncertainty right
27:42
that's right another way to exercise control is to limit how much news you consume always a good idea uh do things
27:48
that are meaningful to you I mean outside watching what's going on on the election find other healthy ways to cope
27:55
I guess there are plenty of options uh your choice of Sports uh and stay socially connected
28:02
don't just sit on social media uh really good luck with that yeah
28:07
absolutely well you know it's a it's it's a lot worse for the people in the swing States people living in Michigan
28:12
and uh and in Pennsylvania and Nevada and uh uh and to a certain extent in
28:18
Florida because they're being bombarded with this and you have to remember they're being bombarded not just with Trump and Harris heads are being
28:24
bombarded with their local Congressman their Lo remember in con Congress they run every two years so the congressmen
28:33
and congresswomen are running con all the time they're running every two years and senators and and uh and governors
28:40
and that local judges and that sort of thing it's absolutely insane it's like every break you're having Le four or
28:45
five spots in a break and it's absolutely insane it almost stops having any impact I would imagine under those
28:51
circumstances of course of course I find that that uh when I am watching American television which which happens a lot um
28:58
there's so many political ads that I have to mute it during the whole time I know I know who I'm voting for and I
29:03
just you know I I I just don't want to hear anymore Britain know who they want to win the US election a ugv Paul found
29:10
almost 2third of those asked wanted CA Harris to win in November are you
29:16
surprised at that I'm not no why not um I think I I guess Americans are because
29:24
they the way that they are they're either Republican or Democrat and grow up that way and stay that way don't really change I think Brits have a
29:31
little bit more of an open mind and of course it's not our election anyway um but um I I don't think that um Donald
29:38
Trump pulls the wool over very many Brits eyes I guess i' like I'd like to believe that I guess that's probably why
29:44
I don't know I mean we certainly know we have them in the building so there are people there are Brits who support Trump you know so there are a lot of people
29:50
and I think there the the way I've expressed it is when you look at him from 30,000 ft went like like an airplan
29:58
coming in You' go you see his personality in this very large personality it's kind of like the way the Americans saw Boris Johnson it's one
30:05
of these things he was very gregarious well maybe it's a cultural thing could be you know because that that that would certainly explain it but 18% of Voters
30:12
have a favorable opinion of trump compared to 77% of Brits asked who regarded him
30:18
negatively I knew I love Brits I knew that okay on the other side a majority
30:24
60% of those pulled viewed Harris favorably while nearly a quarter 23% regarded her negatively and and I guess
30:30
you know a lot of people would probably be thinking about how it might impact them so how would right would would
30:36
which of the candidates might be better for Britain and economically for the world therefore for us perhaps I don't know but there you go no AB absolutely
30:43
and also Nigel farage splits the vote as well in the UK and of course he's a
30:49
close Ally of trump so that may well also had something to do with it y I think okay right okay a few more stories
30:56
to come we're really rattling through them at I'm glad that we are um this is rather scary though it's a late change
31:02
as well uh the Stark before and after pictures revealing the dramatic shrinking of major Amazon Rivers this up
31:09
came up on CNN today MH yeah for about two years now the the river going into the Amazon and that gets uh uh they're
31:17
they're going through their worst drought in since 1950 and that's when they started collecting records um it's
31:24
Brazil's second straight year of extreme doubt and nearly 60% of the country is affected with some cities including
31:32
Brazilia uh enduring more than 140 consecutive days without rain lungs of
31:37
the planet and and those of you out there who may have seen this it the
31:42
photos are quite disturbing and the one thing I I I would draw a comparison to
31:47
is how those of you that may have followed that that the state of California and and to a great extent uh
31:54
um Nevada and uh Arizona had h 10year drought they did not get much rain for
32:01
10 years and the and the reservoirs had dried up and the Rivers had all but
32:06
dried up and they got to the point where you wonder if they were ever going to get rain and then they got deluged and then they got floods which of course
32:12
causes its own issues as well because then the land's so dry um but those pictures 21 to 24 um just side by side
32:20
really really rather scary we've just got time uh to uh to do the one thing that we have to do uh the final thing
32:26
and that is we know who is in the World Series well the American series to the
32:32
rest of us but Ram frit you know those of us who are New York Mets fans we we've been suffering for 63 years and uh
32:39
I followed every single game and they came up a little bit short on La and so it's the Dodgers against uh the Yankees
32:47
for the first time in a number of years and uh I'm picking the Dodgers in this one and they've got great shirts both of
32:53
them I mean basb shirts F you and I got to tell you these are two St sted teams
32:59
they have sh Otani they got Aaron judge and even if you're not a big baseball
33:04
fan this is two great baseball teams are going to be facing off and uh um first
33:10
time in 43 years 81 was the last time right and they always play play well
33:15
together and these are the the number one one ranked teams in each of the divisions so it's it's kind of fitting
33:21
that they play each other and uh again I'm I'm picking the Dodgers in six
33:32
