rich rles is here as I mentioned our us correspondent uh plenty for us to talk about this afternoon we'll recap on some
0:06
of the things we were talking about last week as well first off uh to the big international news story of the day uh
0:13
senior White House figures have privately uh said that the US would
0:18
support Israel's decision to ramp up military pressure against Hezbollah that was even as the Biden Administration was
0:25
publicly urging the Israeli government to curtail its air strikes with we we've seen that uh uh turn again today and it
0:34
doesn't look like there's any stopping of the situation it just seems to grow um and the
0:40
US not quite able to do much about it it seems no there there doesn't seem to be much policy involved there's not much
0:47
where uh the Biden Administration says we're definitely going to help them out we're not going to help them out uh I
0:53
think that from from all that we're reading it came as a surprise that uh that the attack was was going to come
1:00
and then it finally did and it was pretty brutal so where this ends uh I know I say this every week but nobody
1:06
really knows well me at the moment the headlines are that Iran is now preparing to launch a missile attack on Israel
1:13
according to sources in the United States after Israel invaded Southern Lebanon so very pretty much a very fast
1:18
moving story and and every time we talk about this we say like we hope it ends soon and we hope it doesn't escalate but
1:25
it just seems to keep doing that well on top of that the the the the US government doesn't seem to have any
1:30
strong policy about that uh where they can prevent Netanyahu from doing anything because he pretty much does
1:35
whatever he wants to do and it is his country so uh you know uh the fact that
1:41
he's not really listening to the US or any of any of the Allies as far as uh how to proceed so big problems see you
1:48
next week indeed big problems at home this week for the uh United States
1:53
hurricane Helen and we were talking about each time these hurricans come along they seem to be bigger uh and bad
2:00
than before over 120 dead a million without power the cleanup uh is just
2:05
beginning but um Devastation uh everywhere North Carolina most particularly North Carolina and what happened is this thing hit hit the the
2:12
bend in Florida What's called the Big Bend in Florida and uh and just went up and kind of tore through uh Atlanta and
2:19
tore into the Carolinas and really kind of stalled right over Asheville North Carolina which is a very trendy very
2:26
neat little town and did a lot of damage and they the uh the folks at Homeland Security say that there could be as many
2:33
as 600 deaths when this is all done uh a lot of those people live in uh mobile
2:38
homes they live out in the country and so they haven't gotten to them yet so if I I pretty much can guarantee there a
2:45
lot of bodies well power lines are down you know the mobile network down and of
2:51
course they can't get through to people even if they they can't even reach them well they flew in the National Guard and and and you know the government is in uh
2:59
uh is is throwing a lot of money in that direction but you know thing is money is only going to take you so far right now
3:04
they need people to come in and they need the Red Cross to come in and provide water and food and and mainly
3:09
shelter for these people who have lost their homes because you've got the Federal Emergency Management agency we hear a lot about FEMA uh but
3:17
um the the lead administrator was saying uh that uh it was historic in in North
3:24
Carolina historic flooding which is kind of a way of saying we can't really do much about it right once every Thousand
3:29
Years is what they said unfortunately these Thousand-Year floods and fires are coming along way too much uh this one
3:36
estimate is that um the the hurricane inflicted about between 145 and 160
3:44
billion dollar worth of damage and I don't know how you recover from that and you know FEMA just so everybody knows
3:50
FEMA is that's Federal money that goes in there and another way of doing it is
3:55
is there's State money and there's money that the town has so gradually they're going to be able to
4:02
build back but it's just it's it's going to take a long time what can they do to to prevent this sort of Devastation from
4:08
happening though that do there's nothing they can do there you can't do anything against when water hits you one of the
4:13
more interesting uh things I saw in uh in a a story in it was in I believe it
4:19
was in Atlanta um a hospital there built essentially a dam around the hospital so
4:26
it was made out of uh it wasn't out of plywood but it was like a a tall fence about 8 or 9 ft tall and they built this
4:32
thing completely around everything else flooded but the dam held and the water did not come into
4:38
the hospital it was truly amazing thing it wasn't sandbags it was anything it was a fence that they built it was it
4:45
was uh it was pretty amazing but there's there's one thing I want to talk about before we moved on and that is it's it's
4:52
important for people to consider what the impact is not just on the Southeast and the people who lost their homes and
4:57
everything else you and I and people in the US are really
5:03
affected by this because what time of year is it it's harvest time and this is
5:09
an area of the country that grows a lot of vegetables and you know they grow
5:14
like that area is known for peaches pecans peanuts uh cotton so what's going
5:21
to happen here is the cost of t-shirts blue jeans uh peanut butter God help us
5:27
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups which are delicious they're going to go up fresh fruit on top of that another thing
5:34
that's happening is that that uh a lot of the farmers a lot of Dairy Farmers
5:39
are there they can't get to the cows to mil they don't they don't have electricity they can't milk their cows they can't get to all these cows to to
5:46
milk them by hand and so a lot of these cows are going to get sick a lot of them are going to die because they can't be
5:52
milked it's it's it's a whole domino effect it's really going to Cascade down
5:58
and uh uh uh it's it's just going to get worse before it gets better a long time
6:03
uh for Recovery as well then in that situation meanwhile economy is being hit
6:08
in the states about 45,000 workers have begun their strike at us ports that breakdown in union talks they didn't
6:16
could do anything about it they're out today aren't they no5 billion dollar a day is what this is going to cost them
6:21
they only went on strike in midnight tonight uh so we can only hope that
6:26
they're going to negotiate uh Biden was asked whether or not the US government is going to step in and kind of stick a
6:33
is that something they would normally do in a situation it's done very very rarely they did it in the case of the
6:39
air traffic controllers back in the 80s when they struck because it really was shutting down airports and involved
6:44
safety but in this particular case uh the president said no he's not going to get involved he said let everything take
6:50
its course there's collective bargaining that's how they're going to deal with it uh and he is a very pro- Union president
6:57
more so than than most and uh it this is going to affect everything that comes into the eastern US everything from
7:04
Maine all the way down to uh down to Florida U it's it's going to be really
7:10
pragmatic the current wages uh under the contract that expired yesterday range from $2 an hour to the top wage of $39
7:18
an hour now the SE of the Union are after 77% over a six-year contract so
7:23
that would make a top rate of $69 an hour by 203 did get fig you get a 77%
7:30
raise last time you know I'm not going to comment neither did I so it's yeah
7:37
those CH but but that's over they'll do that over the next five or six years but still a lot I mean imagine getting a 20%
7:44
raise every single year from your job it's it's just someone who has been in a union job
7:50
and someone who has been in management it seems a trial unrealistic but I think they'll probably compromise you you it's
7:58
all about money and whatever they want and uh certainly the country and the world cannot be without uh people to
8:04
unload goods for very long so I you get that backlog of ships ships then in the
8:10
wrong places not getting anywhere else in the world we know what happened when that when that Supply when that whole supply line thing happened a couple
8:16
years ago and it just it brought the whole world to a stop for a while because of Co but uh and other things so
8:23
yeah we'll get to the politics incidentally but uh meanwhile uh two astronauts um are uh are safely back are
8:32
they back yet no they're not back yet it's it's the SpaceX crew that have got to the space station They're bringing back the two stranded astronauts so what
8:39
happened was remember those those Boeing took those two astronauts up and then they said I'm sorry they're bit worried
8:45
about we're not bringing you back so the spaceship came back empty and and uh a
8:51
real black eye for Boeing as if they needed another black eye so what happened was uh uh an American and a
8:57
Russian uh astronauts flew up on a ship that could hold four people so they had
9:04
two empty seats they flew up to the space station and they got off and they're all they're all tucked into the
9:10
space station for the next few uh uh few months and early in 2025 the four of
9:15
them are going to get back on and and come back to earth but no they those two that were stranded up there they're not
9:21
coming back for another another at least three or four months okay yeah when it cost quite a bit to get people up there
9:26
and bring them back so uh yeah certainly but it's been capturing the headlines all the time hasn't it right um on the
9:34
politics Trail then let's look at the Biden Administration uh Asylum restrictions at the southern border
9:40
they've got to be seen to be doing something because Mr Trump keeps on going on about it well he goes on about
9:45
a lot of stuff but he certainly this is his number one issue and what's happened here is that it took the Biden
9:52
Administration a couple of years uh for one reason or another because they had uh they had uh uh
10:00
they had several bills that were blocked by the Republicans and from from uh
10:06
being instituted and and Biden and Harris finally said look this is what we're going to do and so what they did
10:12
is they Capp the amount of people that could come into the country um the daily numbers have to average below, 1500 a
10:19
day for these restrictions to be lifted anything over 1500 and the restrictions
10:26
are going to be uh in place and so they started this on Monday and hopefully
10:31
this is and it has since June it's really slowed down the amount of people coming into the country they're trying
10:36
to get people to come in Legally uh those the whole idea of people pouring in through Brakes in the fence and and
10:43
let's face it the fence only covers like 25% of the border with Mexico but that being said uh quite low numbers that
10:50
1500 low numers and there's a change on the administration of children as well because it was only migrant children
10:56
from Mexico that were cing before now they're celing all children yeah yeah so it's that the number of people coming in
11:02
illegally is down the amount of total people coming into the country is down so uh you know the problem is the number
11:09
before that over over the previous two years was very high it was uh in the millions and uh you people were just
11:17
absolutely pouring in over the border and uh but it seems to be under control now so that's uh that's a good thing for
11:24
the for the Biden Harris uh Administration yeah actually uh CA was at the Border in the South wasn't she
11:30
Arizona she went down yep yeah okay Mr Trump met president zalinsky in the
11:36
United States earlier in the week he said it's time to end Russia's War he
11:41
keeps on saying how he's a mate of President Putin as well he says Putin's
11:46
his friend but he said he likes zilinski initially he didn't want to meet zalinski and zalinsky didn't want to
11:51
meet him but uh you know he said we both want this to end we want to see a fair
11:57
deal mean he keeps bringing up deals as if he's buying a company and and that's not the case I mean he's dealing with a
12:03
tyrant uh he's dealing with a guy who whose country was attacked and so you
12:09
know I've said this many times before I think the people in Ukraine are are
12:14
tough I think they're resilient I think I I don't they're not going to give up their country ever ever they're going to
12:21
be there until they're going to keep fighting back until uh this thing is an end it was one of those meetings where they kind of went in saying the same
12:27
thing and came out saying the same thing without giving us anything new really no there was nothing there is absolutely
12:32
nothing new that came out of this thing but you know zilinsky was quoted by as saying that Trump does not understand
12:39
the situation and he oversimplifies the conflict and I think that that he said he learned a lot from the meeting Trump
12:45
did admit that actually he did oh that part I didn't I didn't he said he learned a lot from the meeting didn't say what it was that he learned but he
12:51
you know but he but he always says I'm you know if I'm if I can do this I'm going to create a deal and everybody's
12:57
going to be happy he never says what the deal is because he doesn't understand the situation and you you know he's
13:03
friends with Putin let's put it that way yeah a little bit more unified though I I'd have to say I think Trump and zinsky
13:09
following that meeting another loss to the music industry of the US of a and
13:16
recounting various uh stories every week we get a different one from our us
13:21
correspondent Rich Reynolds she's been talking about talking to Sammy Davis Jr but I'll have you talk if you would
13:27
first about Chris Christopherson my I I I don't really have any Chris Christopherson stories I
13:34
know you probably haven't met him no no I've never and now I have no chance I got no shot no shot at meeting him uh
13:41
but no I don't I don't have any uh I have some stories about about a lot of
13:47
their songs but not about him in general yeah so number and number ones Billboards um on on the US top 100 that
13:54
he had but not not his own versions they were written by him but if you but but
14:00
I've been reading a lot about him ever since he passed and there's been so much
14:05
about what a rich life he had and about the fact that he got a master's degree at Oxford he was a poet he was a writer
14:14
uh and and that he the stuff that he wrote the songs when he started out he
14:19
right this is right before Bobby McGee this like 67 68 which he wrote Of course
14:25
and then he uh he he had trouble selling these songs and apparently a lot of it
14:30
was because he didn't speak in a Common Language he was very well educated and
14:35
he he tended to use correct grammar and that sort of thing so he didn't sound like the redneck you might have thought he might be he might yeah and and if you
14:42
if you look into it this guy was as far from redneck as you can get I mean he was he was cultured he was an art
14:49
collector he was a a great musician but most of all he wanted to be known as a great writer and I I think he succeeded
14:55
and you know this whole thing about playing Cowboys and playing truck drivers and that sort of in the movies
15:01
yeah he did in the films he he could pretty much do anything but but a great actor according to those who know that
15:07
you know acting a bit of an activist as well
15:13
because um I remember hearing about when in the eulogies but they were talking about him being interviewed uh and
15:19
saying that he was in Nicaragua with the sandinistas um argued for Leonard Peltier mum Abu Jamal and the United
15:26
Farm Workers have been a radical for a long time he said really yeah I don't think I knew that story many stories
15:32
that have been coming out this week so yeah things that you you didn't know um but multifaceted a multi-talented
15:38
chronically interesting guy yeah I like that okay uh continuing our look at us
15:44
politics and okay it's the debate that's on everybody's lips it's not the second
15:50
CA uh trump it is Vance Waltz the vice presidential debate which apparently
15:56
could change the course of the election are some different polls that say that that there are it could be 10 or 15% of
16:03
the people who are not decided I don't know how you could be undecided at this point I mean these guys have been
16:08
running well he's been running for two years and and you know we know who she is um you know we don't know much about
16:15
JD Vance compared to the other two or about uh uh Tim Waltz
16:21
but I read one estimate that said uh 75 they could be doing a 75 share Tonight
16:27
meaning 75% of all people watching television are going to be watching this
16:32
I don't I that number sounds awfully High to me because the the number there were the final numbers on the
16:38
presidential debate was like 51 52 million somewhere up in there I don't think this is going to be quite as high
16:43
well only well 30 35 days so just mon to go till the election so we're getting
16:48
closer uh and as you keep on saying it is a long campaign of course oh my god um but neither of these guys were around
16:55
at the beginning of it all so um that's very true what uh what we expecting why are they saying that it might change the
17:02
uh the way that people vote those that perhaps still haven't made up their mind why would it change the course of the
17:08
election I think because people think that both of these guys are kind of going to come out tonight with guns blazing we know that that JD Vance is
17:16
kind of a loose cannon that he's liable to say some really crazy stuff looking forward to that yeah yeah and that's
17:22
going to make it kind of interesting and he's he's probably try going to put try to put Tim Waltz on the defensive you
17:29
know Tim Waltz is kind of a he's quite a clever cookie though isn't he he's a smart guy and he I I think he's uh Vance
17:36
is it it was quoted as saying I'm not doing any special prep yeah but but but others have said
17:43
where W was where's Waltz was doing a lot of prep uh and and he both of these
17:50
guys know and can take a page off of Joe Biden's book to say this is what it looks like to be completely humiliated
17:57
on national television and in a lot of ways on International television cuz people over here are watching this too
18:03
well it's 3:00 in the morning um today or so tomorrow morning um that's 9:00
18:09
p.m. Eastern right for those that are listening in the United States um and and you know I I'm quite interested in
18:16
fact a little bit more interested than than I was at the very first debate to be H yeah it's going to be like a like a
18:21
pinata it's both of them are going to have a bat in their hands and be swinging away at each other and I think
18:27
I think at the very least neither of them are going to be very very conservative in in what they're saying I think it's going to be very interesting
18:34
uh I I think it's going to be well worth the time for people to tun in think they might cover a load of subjects like we have probably more more than theer and
18:42
um Donald did I suppose yeah I think so yeah okay um right to the polls then and
18:47
there have been various since we even that were coming out um just as we finished speaking last week um and in
18:54
the latest uh we're looking at uh a slight lead 3% or so but that's within
19:01
marginal what do they call it the margin margin of error yeah margin of error isn't it for for kamla Harris
19:09
well uh uh this past week of course there are like 19 or 20 polls out there right now so every week if all you have
19:15
to do is Google latest presidential polls and they come up so the the numbers right now 35 days out is that uh
19:22
are that uh uh Harris is doing well nationally Trump has seen a real surge
19:28
in a lot of out of the uh swing States yeah we were seeing some of the Democrats um people in those swing
19:34
States coming out and saying oh you really got to vote because we're worried that um perhaps we're not seeing exactly
19:40
what's going on here and we're worried that um you know people need to get out and vote and don't sit at home um that
19:47
does happen though doesn't it do start to get wor and they do it on purpose because they want to make sure that everybody gets out vot and and what's
19:53
happening is that the the big swing seems to be in Hispanic uh voters um
19:59
in the past Joe Biden did really well with Hispanics to say the least uh um
20:04
Obama did well with his Hispanic voters and uh so did Clinton but it has those
20:10
numbers are down like 30 or 40% with with Harris and I think a lot
20:16
of them they just don't know Harris maybe that's it we we all have to keep in mind she's been running for only
20:21
about 30 days um so we'll see what happens with that the what happens is
20:26
that the Democrats do extremely well with with people who are college educated and people uh the Republican
20:33
candidates do well with those who have high school education or less that you
20:39
know that's that's a general blue collar workers yeah that that seemed to be uh strangely as it seems because the
20:45
Democratic party is really very pro-union Pro worker pro- middle class uh there's still a lot of people who are
20:52
in that demographic who are not uh voting for Harris or say they're not going to vote for Harris so if they can
20:58
get some of those Latino voters back I think the Democrats will be kind of happy because right now those numbers
21:04
are down down down much much farther than they would like to they still have a lead over Trump but it now it's like
21:11
15 16% where it used to be 60% so why uh
21:16
then have we seen the headlines where which have said that uh why is Harris distancing herself from Biden's record
21:24
allegedly running away from good news it doesn't make any sense to me because infl has been tamed uh illegal
21:30
immigration is down violent crime is down um she seems to not want to take
21:39
credit for that she you know people there's no question that people are still bothered that after covid that
21:46
that there was there was inflation and it went up things were up about 20% in the US and uh she they keep reminding
21:54
her of that uh I saw a report this week on American tele where they uh they went
22:00
around to people in a small town I think it was in Minnesota and said could you describe the state of the economy with
22:07
one word and most of them said bad or or used other words a lot of them said
22:13
improving a lot of them said uh uh uh the economy is good but but the feeling
22:19
is that the economy still is in very bad shape because people are still paying more for eggs and butter and and cereal
22:26
one reason why she could be staying away from it then that's why things are definitely better but at the end of the
22:32
day they're still up a little bit from where they were uh even the stock market is way up I mean we those of us who are
22:39
invested in the market know that the market has been going great guns for the past couple of years and so that is
22:45
something good to talk about I think she needs to be talking about this a little bit more but she's not taking my calls I
22:53
I don't know you know so that's just just my opinion there's a lot of good
22:59
there's a lot of good news out there there was that that she was trying to distance herself in because she wanted
23:04
to be you know the new the new choice you know so very much a new and younger
23:10
candidate um in the mix after of course the the previous uh the first debate which reflected very badly on Joe Biden
23:18
suddenly from that uh then Donald Trump became the older person in the mix so that's right know um but yeah that's
23:24
certainly the way that thing she wants to be seen she wants to be as a new candidate but she herself has been part
23:31
of this great stock market and great retrieval and great um uh revitalization
23:38
and and Improvement on the on the border um you know whether it's too little too
23:44
late that that remains to be seen but she's part of that and and and it's it's a good story to tell and I think you may
23:51
see her telling it more and more um at least uh I would hope that apparently now uh Prince fans comp part Like It's
24:00
1999 with the Airbnb Purple Rain house no way this um
24:06
it's probably going to be booked up for years ahead isn't it yeah but I think you're can only stay for one night I get I get that I get that feeling even
24:13
though Prince to be really clear Prince never uh lived in the house he owned it
24:19
and they the one that was in the Purple Rain film was in the movie right and it's going to be hosted by Wendy mvoy
24:25
and Lisa Coleman who were in the revolution princess bad right and and they have a guitar Dr a piano you can
24:32
sit and play and pretend pretend pretend that you're uh that you're in the band
24:38
do you wear your purple high heels I guess you have to I I'll have to wear them what I'm looking for is how much is this oh no we we don't know that okay uh
24:46
SPAC is available for 25 separate one night stays for up to four guests can be booked on Airbnb submit your request
24:52
book between tomorrow and the 6th and uh stat are available from the 6 of October
24:59
until the 14th of December it will cost each guest get this $7 to stay is that right well it's his
25:07
favorite number wasn't it so I see what they're doing there seven I like that go imagine that that's going to be like
25:12
more subscribed than Oasis tickets really I'm sure let's say they don't have that
25:18
price um what you call it where it increases on demand um right let's move
25:23
back to the uh politics and uh uh joh TR been under the c a bit for some of the
25:29
things that he's been saying been calling out called out by a number of networks as well about the facts and
25:35
it's good to see it last because we kept on bringing it up and and there was only some places that were saying oh you fact
25:41
checking that was wrong now it seems to be everybody is um but he really um kind of scraped the pale as you would say uh
25:49
by claiming that Cala CA Harris was mentally disabled in the past week and he keeps saying it he said it a number
25:54
of times on the campaign Trail he said how how could she do some of the things she does and not be mentally disabled
26:03
and then he said Joe Biden was mentally disabled and finally mentally impaired mentally impaired you're right you're
26:09
right and how can you uh how can you say stuff like that I mean it's it's a slap
26:15
at anybody who has any sort of disability and uh you know in Joe Biden's case he's 81 years old and and
26:22
you know Trump himself is is almost 80 himself so and he says he says far
26:27
stupider things than than anybody else but he is he is only wants to dominate
26:33
the news cycle so he'll say anything that he can to get uh um anybody um well
26:40
his runninges his running mates admitted that um he would do anything to uh to take over the news copy of the day they
26:46
they saying but but but Lindsey Graham who is his number one Defender from South Carolina and he said you know it's
26:53
uh it's not fair he shouldn't be saying stuff like this and he had a a bunch of uh Trump
26:59
supporters um who said that uh he ought to back off from this it's it's a little too much there was there was some
27:05
something else that was quoted um this week apparently he said at a conference something like you know you'll be slain
27:12
by a foreigner in your kitchen um you know if you don't vote for me yeah he
27:18
also said that if you don't vote for me we'll have World War II um in fact yeah that's the CNN fact check the 12
27:24
election lies Trump is using to set the stage to dispute a potential 2024 defeat
27:30
that we making the headlines yeah we're not we're not going to go into all of these no we're not because it's pages and pages but is 12 of his Greatest Hits
27:38
like uh that the only way that KLA Harris can win is if she cheats and the fact is that voting by non-citizens is a
27:45
widespread problem in US election completely illegal to to vote if you're not a citizen and and there's there's
27:53
constant uh California's vote counts are dishonest that was one and there's
27:58
nothing that that will prove that this is uh correct so we are not going to go over any of these uh the US Post the
28:07
fire poorly poorly run it is okay okay granted it takes a long time to get to
28:12
get your mail no matter what country you you live in but but the US Post service is not corrupt and and they're not
28:19
nobody's out to get you when you when you there there's likely to lose a trump ballot as they are a uh a ballot and I
28:26
come from a vote by mail State I've never I haven't voted at a poll since I was in since I was in my early 20s you
28:34
know uh the state of Oregon Washington California all completely vote by mail so you would sit in your house with like
28:39
a like a magazine and read all about the candidates and go oh this is the person I want and then you mail it in or you
28:45

29:56
she said that her campaign not unlike Sabrina Carpenter sub expresso the lyrics are vague but the Vib slap that
30:03
absolutely that wish I wish have thought of that before absolutely the case yeah brilliant so good to see um that it's
30:09
back okay meanwhile we need to mention this uh Jimmy Carter and his hometown of
30:15
PL celebrating the 39th president's 100th birthday happy birthday Mr Carter
30:21

30:28
in history and um today is his 100th birthday and he's uh um he was not
30:35
always considered a great president he made a lot of mistakes um but he is an
30:40
outstanding human being and through his uh a lot of his Charities um he's he's just a great man
30:47
the most famous headline I remember when he was voted in you know for people in Britain who didn't really know who he was oh yes he used to be a peanut farmer
30:53
yeah he was a peanut bter and and still is he still has you know he's in Hospice right now is as most people know he's uh
31:00
he doesn't make any more appearances and you know unfortunately he lost his wife about 6 months ago um Jimmy Carter an
31:07
outstanding human being and uh and worthy of it a 100th birthday and a
31:13
number of other people who have passed in the past week we mentioned Chris christon earlier Maggie Smith of course
31:20
of D Abby and Harry Potter dying at 89 uh which was covered quite heavily in
31:26
the US AA yeah she had a good run I mean she's she's made most of her films are are uh have been made in England and and
31:33
and for uh uh overall uh uh consumption and uh she's uh truly going to be missed
31:40
she was a great actress and boy she worked right until the end didn't she she was in in uh in dtown Abbey for what
31:47
was it at least five or six years maybe more uh you know making the movies prob right you have not seen the not I went
31:56
back after it had been on for years everybody was talking about the show and finally I said okay I'll watch the show
32:03
and I started watching it and I I started in the beginning and I start watching I go well this is a pretty good
32:08
show it is I I do like period drama but I prefer it to be more on the period than the drama if yeah I know I know I I
32:15
can I can understand that but you know she's she's she's always good you know when they put some good lines in her
32:20
mouth she was really great at you know zinging uh zinging people and and um
32:27
yeah I thought I thought I think it's a real somebody who somebody who European audiences might not know Pete Rose Major
32:34
League Baseball's alltime hit King dying at the age of 83 now here's some stories
32:40
that you've got about him quite quite the icon so for those of you who are are
32:46
not big Baseball fans out there who don't know much about the sport it's uh uh he Pete Rose is maybe one of the 10
32:53
greatest baseball players of all time um they don't know what he died of uh he was in living in Las Vegas at the time
33:00
but he had a sensational career as a player uh started around 1964 played for
33:06
24 seasons so he played until he was 40 I want to say like 46 years old so he
33:11
played a good long time got more base hits which is a good thing people don't
33:17
know baseball it's a good thing um got more base hits than anybody in the history of the game but the problem was
33:24
in the last few years of uh of his uh career he was a player manager and he was
33:30
betting on baseball which is it's a no no complete no no highly illegal not
33:35
just betting on baseball being a manager but betting on his own team he bet on his own team to lose right yeah uh yeah
33:41
he says he didn't but there's there's a refutable evidence there's evidence that he did bet on his team to lose and so he
33:48
said no no I never did that no no and yes I bet but I didn't bet on basball no no I didn't bet on any games that I was
33:54
playing and then when he got caught he said okay yeah maybe I did but it wasn't
33:59
a lot and I didn't make a lot of money he made a bunch of stuff up and so consequently he's not in the Baseball
34:05
Hall of Fame which a star studed player who's not actually in the Hall of Fame he is and he he's one guy and it's very
34:11
polarizing a lot of people think he ought to be in but you know he knew what the rules were he still violated the
34:16
rules uh I'm I'm really interested to find out how he passed away but he was a
34:22
a great player and an interesting guy always a great interview but every interview he ever gave was all about me
34:28
me me I I I I'm a victim you know I should be in the Hall of Fame and he used to wear a baseball cap that said
34:34
hit King on it so it's anything so anyhow we we will miss uh Charlie hustle
34:39
that was his nickname uh Pete Rose a great baseball player uh dead at 83 what
34:44
do you reckon national basketball sorry Baseball Hall of Fame this year coming up yeah there they new players coming in
34:51
this year uh I'm I can't remember off the top of my head who shoe in to go in but they'll release two or three that'll
34:58
that'll come in this year that and would he be there you know somebody's going to nominate him somebody will nominate him
35:04
and he's going to be nominated every year and I I bet eventually he gets in but it's sad that it didn't happen in his lifetime Rich Reynolds our us
