0:00
I said earlier Tuesdays used to be sort of Me no real identity to Tuesdays it's not hump day or anything but nowadays we
0:06
have Rich Reynolds in our us correspondent and he is here this week as well good afternoon yeah man good afternoon welcome back in now the thing
0:13
is so happy to be here I'm usually here I I'm I'm sort of filming you and Cal having your chat being the producer the
0:19
way it's worked out this time around is that I'm sitting here presenting the show and I'm making out like I know what
0:25
I'm talking about yeah you'll be great cal cal FES his way through through it
0:30
well if that's one of the skills you learn along the way is to make it sound like you know what you're talking about even if it's just the basic facts but um
0:37
you very hopefully this morning sent us a big list of things and it's not all the political stuff as well it's some
0:42
stories from around the world but so because there are big holes in my us political knowledge I remember that that
0:48
that they really had it for that Spyro agu guy back in the day but um and I've heard of one it's a way back one or two
0:55
since but um yeah we'll be able to touch on you know what you're the holes in what you know is equal to or a lot less
1:00
in the holes of regarding me and if I had to answer questions about Parliament and procedure and that sort of thing and
1:06
I wouldn't I you know I don't even understand why that your judges wear those wigs I I haven't gotten into that
1:13
I I still think that ought to be abandoned but I know that's sacrilege so
1:18
well it's obviously um tradition that they've hung on to but also I think there's a sense of you know that's very formal and kind of you know um not not
1:25
all inspiring but they it's kind of in what's the word I'm after um you know if the criminals there it looks
1:32
very serious this is is up against the judge intimidating intimidating I can't say yeah yeah so they keep it on and
1:39
then you see some of the courts around the world which are brand new buildings it just looks like that's a court yeah that's true that's not what I'm used to
1:45
that's true the UK they give good Court yes very intimidating the way it's laid
1:50
out and you've got your defendant over here and and and the uh uh and the judge
1:56
sitting up a lot higher it's very very intimidating MH so okay well we'll get into some uh bits because today or later
2:02
on tonight it is the presidential debate right um yeah big doings big doings
2:07
that's that's all that American Media is uh talking about today and and actually yesterday and the day before and the day
2:14
before that I mean uh it doesn't matter what whether you lean to the left or lean to the right that's all everybody's
2:20
talking about who's got the advantage whether it's uh vice president Harris or
2:25
or Donald Trump it's it's going to be uh I don't know if it's going to be free for- all but it is going to be very
2:32
spirited and very uh potentially nasty um today at tonight at 3:00 a.m. um
2:40
Spanish time yes that's the way it works out yeah 3:00 a.m. Madrid time yeah but you can all but you can all pick it up on watch it on YouTube the way a lot of
2:46
people do and that's that's generally what I'm going to be doing when I get up tomorrow morning yes and I mean this
2:52
this sort of stuff that you know you sent me a load of stuff over this morning because you love it political junk I do I kind of get I'm a political
2:58
junkie there's no question I worked I've worked news most of my life and have really really enjoyed it and I like all
3:03
the discussion but I realize it's all kind of tilted one way or another and you can you can interpret it no matter
3:09
how how you want and I I know that that that's what I do but uh it's I I like a
3:15
nice Fierce discussion I like it when people answer the question when somebody says you know did you do this and they
3:20
don't try to avoid it and say no I didn't um it's it's uh that's when the
3:26
discussion gets good is when things are real and things are very very much on point and spirit and I think that's what
3:32
we're going to see tonight yeah I I don't enjoy those debates at all especially when there's more than two because it's just still talking over
3:38
each other shouting over each other it needs a good moderator in it's on ABC right it's on ABC tonight right but all
3:44
the network CBS uh CNN and uh and fox and uh uh uh and NBC they're all going
3:51
to be carrying it so it's just that ABC gets kind of the credit because it's their two moderators but but you're
3:57
right about the one thing it can become kind of overwhelming I remember when they were two years ago four years ago
4:03
uh the Republicans this is when oh that I'm sorry that was eight years ago when Trump was first running there were 18
4:11
candidates and they had like 14 on stage and each person got to answer one question and it was kind of crazy and
4:17
you were they say well who had the advantage who had the disadvantage and you know it was one of these things where if you were placed on the far end
4:25
of the uh of the yordas was on as far away from the center as you could get you didn't get to answer anything a lot
4:31
of those people never they never went farther than uh than the uh uh that debate but also if it's coming down to
4:38
just the two of them on this later on tonight do you think they change anybody's Minds yeah I think they will
4:43
you do I do I do I believe that I believe about 40 40% maybe 45% of the
4:50
people they're voting Democratic they're voting for kamla Harris the other 40 45
4:55
are going to vote for Donald Trump they like the cut of his jib they like the fact that he is he's energetic and he's
5:01
verbose and he's he they say he he tells it like it is and in in effect he kind
5:06
of makes a lot of stuff up which which is a bit of a problem but I think you got about 10 20% of the people who are
5:12
out there and they they haven't made they've made their mind up but they're easily dissuaded you they could you know
5:19
they may like Trump but they don't love him and if K har Harris comes out looking pretty good they could be pushed
5:25
to the side one way or another and you know vice versa so yeah I think I think you got about you got about 20% of the
5:31
people which could be uh 30 40 million people could be in play tonight right
5:38
yeah because there are key swing states of course um five or six of those and
5:43
focusing you know I don't know if a lot of the people who are not Americans don't understand what swing states are and and in short a swing state is a
5:50
state that that depending on the person depending on the election they can go either way sometimes they're called
5:55
Purple States uh the red blue thing by the way we only started to be using about using about uh uh 19 uh excuse me the
6:03
year 2000 uh the guy at NBC coined the use of red state blue State and uh and
6:10
after that it became purple State there are uh you know I I came here from Oregon which is a very blue state
6:16
California is very blue the whole West Coast very liberal very blue the east coast of of the US Northeast
6:23
specifically very blue but that middle of the country red red red it's very conservative you know and then you have
6:30
places like Michigan and Pennsylvania which can go either way and those are the states those poor people there you
6:36
got two candidates who are stumping in those in those six or seven states for
6:41
the next two months Georgia in play as well Georgia's in play North Carolina uh
6:46
Nevada um and also um um Wisconsin
6:52
Wisconsin of course on the list I think I know why they they started the red and blue thing as well because it's
6:57
completely the opposite of how it is in UK and because the Americans have to do that they got the date in the month the
7:03
wrong way right the Daye in the month you know how you do that I heard that I was watching a newscast one time and they said red and blue and yeah cuz the
7:09
reds are the left the Socialist side um blue is conservative that makes sense yeah completely the opposite I can't
7:14
tell you why because the guy that the guy that came up with the idea in the states a guy named Tim russer who sadly
7:20
isn't with us anymore uh and he was uh he had a white board and he had a red marker and a blue marker and he just
7:26
started fiddling with them and said this is how I see it and he would hold it up to camera it was very low Tech but it
7:33
was very indicative and this is the year that George Bush beat uh Al Gore in the year 2000 so that's where that all comes
7:40
from so they're not long Associated colors with each party no no only the past couple years but I have no doubt
7:46
that that the UK invented this and and we and we stole it yeah it was the red the red keep the red flag flying it's
7:52
Labor's Anem oh yeah yeah that makes sense um so just some other bits on the list I mean you sent me the thing about
7:58
the Wildfire so that's kind of an ongoing thing isn't it around La yeah the summertime is a is a bad time
8:03
especially if you live out west um the American South gets a lot of rain for some reason in the and and hurricanes
8:10
like there's a there I didn't bring it up here and I didn't send it to you but there's a hurricane that's heading into
8:15
Texas right now and into Louisiana so they're getting a lot of rain they're getting uh flooding and very high winds
8:22
in the South but the west coast is just baking right now and they the temperatures are like 43° C 100 110°
8:30
fahit and uh it just there's no letup it just they can't they can't get ahead of
8:36
these fires fast enough and they're wildfires meaning they're not they're not started by people uh with matches or
8:42
anything like that they're just they're just they start by way of heat heating up uh brush brushes and not getting rain
8:49
for a long time a lot of these places in California they don't get rain for for N9 or 10 months no we're kind of used to
8:55
it here um actually we had very much like Spain it wasn't with you it was um we had some of the volunteer firefighters from just up the road here
9:02
in and it was interesting because he said it can be started by like a glass bottle which magnifying glass so once
9:08
the sun gets on it m that'll get hot enough and it'll set the uh set the the brush on fire really dry dry ground
9:14
there but but yeah but you're right the American West is getting hit Reno Nevada's got it and they've got a bad fire in Los Angeles and but it's it's
9:22
the way it's going isn't it because like see I've seen Mark Marin who I'm a big fan of do a bit about it's become a
9:27
season now that was Fire season begun ready or is it fire season's got it should be over by by October it starts
9:34
it starts to cool off you don't you think of Los Angeles you don't think you think oh it's hot all the time it isn't they did have some rain they did quite a
9:40
bit of rain not that not that long ago about a year ago they got they got all they hadn't had they hadn't had rain to
9:45
any to speak of in about 10 years can you imagine that 10 years without rain and all of a sudden they got it in in
9:51
about a month or two months and they got now the reservoirs are all filled up and they're in good shape but but but you're
9:57
right the fires just come and brush prior season used to be like oh it's just it's it's August we need to be kind
10:03
of careful now it's like May June July August all the way into October yeah yeah it's crazy yeah and of course
10:09
there's some big old properties around there so I think um once it reaches National National Forest as well it's uh
10:16
that could be it for them unfortunately sadly sadly as well sometimes well there mean there are a lot of people who have
10:22
houses there and I don't I would hesitate to buy a house in areas like that I think that you uh you're running
10:28
a great risk it doesn't matter whether it's 10 years ago or this year and a lot of these people have lost their homes
10:33
there's a there's a town there in California Called Paradise and and about two years ago three years ago the whole
10:40
town was wiped out everybody lost their house and a lot of people they mve back they they buil houses
10:46
again it's happening to them again they're all in that fire zone I'm thinking what what are you doing here
10:53
why would you move in a fire zones like like my house my house may have been wiped out by a flood and people move
10:58
back and they a house in a flood plane what don't you what don't you get about I mean I'm used to it because you
11:04
know I'm very familiar with Canada and it's it's there are big areas there but some some of it is a natural renewing of
11:10
the ground it's like a cyclical thing so they do have fires naturally and then it grows back it just clears it clear areas
11:17
it does grow back you know except for the houses I mean you don't you don't have to feel too badly about all these forests because they do grow back and
11:25
and like a year later all of a sudden there's there's new growth and and uh it all works out and Canada is is starting
11:32
to get really heat up much more than it has in the past and they they are very suceptible to wildfires up there
11:39
especially places like Calgary and Edmonton and up in the and that's a vast area as well across Canada of course of
11:45
uh Wilderness a lot of it and British Columbia and PC yes of course but um I
11:51
mean from some of the stories you've sent me said it's not all although you could argue it is political um but
11:56
another school shooting unfortunately but there was let's start with the one on the the roadside there what was that
12:02
guy well that was around Kentucky what happened was a couple couple of days ago there was a guy on I75 which is you know
12:09
the interstate the motorway one of many in the country goes between Detroit and Miami so it kind of goes through like
12:16
the Heartland and at this point in Kentucky near the state capital of Frankfurt they a guy had an AR-15 a high
12:23
powered rifle sitting in the bushes on the side of the road just shooting at cars just he didn't kill anybody luckily
12:30
he injured somebody hit somebody in the face but I think the latest count is there were seven people injured really a
12:36
dangerous situation this is the same thing happened about 10 20 years ago uh I think it was in DC U where uh they
12:44
eventually caught the guy but this guy he drove his own car and then he left
12:49
his car so he he took off on foot now he's still at large he's still somewhere in the Kentucky area I would assume he's
12:57
uh everybody is out looking for this guy but he is uh he left his car left the
13:02
bullets left the gun dropped everything and kind of took off uh this is right on
13:07
the back end of the uh of the school shooting in uh uh in Georgia where two
13:13
kids two 14year olds and two teachers were killed and it's uh you know that
13:20
that nonsense continues in the States you know and it's it's insane it's truly
13:26
insane all these you know that your child is going going to school and never comes back because he been killed by a
13:33
classmate um and it but the thing is it becomes like oh another school shooting it's almost not like Front Page News
13:40
anymore you know it would be locally but um it's not you know you're absolutely right and and in this particular case
13:48
the child's father had and the the the kid doing the shooting as
13:54
14 uh they're going to try him as an adult and I don't I don't know how I feel about that he at the end of the day
13:59
he was a a very troubled and depressed 14-year-old and I think anybody
14:05
listening out there who was ever 14 knows what that was like is not exactly a fun age to go through for any of us
14:11
but uh his father had given him the gun for Christmas boy yeah so he gave him a
14:16
high-powered rifle for Christmas and so it was illegal it was it's it was it's illegal to buy a gun at
14:23
14 in Most states I believe in all states I can't be quoted on that but uh
14:29
I believe in all states it's uh it's illegal to buy a gun that young but it's not illegal for you to shoot a gun so if
14:35
your father gives you the gun that's that's okay you just can't buy one um in this particular case uh the the kid's
14:42
mother called the school and grandmother called the school and said he's on your he's on the way we've seen some stuff
14:49
that's really leading us to believe he's going to try something different and uh and he didn't he started to shoot up
14:55
shoot up this classroom wow yeah I mean sure I mean this obviously I guess this leads us into the the gun debate and how
15:03
outside of se you must see you must know how anyone outside of the US can look at
15:08
it and think it's just insane you know it is insane you know you it's kind of
15:13
you you maybe grow up with it and a l Americans do not everyone obviously is in favor of it but we can't even imagine
15:20
being able to just I can sort of see the argument for having a little handgun in the house I don't know depending where
15:26
you on the area but to be able to go in and buy whether it's a cool off period
15:31
or not semi-automate AR-15 um you could buy a bazooka yeah you you could buy you could buy a hand
15:37
grenade you could buy a land mine yeah they're for sale and there's a Most states have a cooling off period where
15:43
you go in and you and you buy the you buy the gun whatever kind of gun it is even if it's a even if it's a pistol and
15:51
you have to wait a couple of days before you can pick it out so I think that's kind of smart but Most states do not
15:56
have background checks Most states you can be under 21 to buy a gun I don't think 13 14y old kids ought to be
16:03
walking around with high-powered rifles that's just my feeling no and the amount of school shootings that have come up where it's been a fellow student um
16:09
they've they've got it from home it was probably the fathers to say um and but but but but looking at the statistics on
16:16
this recent statistics 80% of the people who have guns really say they like
16:21
having guns they like shooting guns they like guns in general and you know it's in our constitution it's a second
16:27
amendment and and whenever somebody says well you know we need to dial back who can get them and they'll and people will
16:34
who like guns will hold up their hands and say now wait a minute it's in the Constitution we can't dwell it it what's
16:40
institution is called the right to bear arms because we had a militia you know
16:45
to fend back I don't I don't I can't remember who we were fighting in 1776 but well how else you're going to keep
16:51
king of England's armies off your front lawn yeah quite it would have been Geor yeah George thei and the red the red but
16:57
there are a lot of people just flat out like guns and and I and I get that I myself I've never owned a gun so I I
17:02
have a slightly different attitude I did work at my last job when I was uh back
17:08
in back in Oregon I worked with a bunch of guys and half of them more than half
17:13
of them own guns and they would talk all the time about going shooting on the weekend and a lot of them went hunting
17:19
they'd go because there was a lot there were a lot of hunters where I lived and they would go out and shoot small game they would shoot pheasant and and even
17:27
raccoons and you know and deer and that sort of thing deer season is in the in the fall and and I used to ask that
17:34
question why do you own guns and he go cuz they were really proud he'd say oh you know I bought I bought three new
17:39
guns this week and this guy could barely feed his family but he was out buying guns he said he goes I like shooting guns and you know it's my right and I
17:46
said you're not worried about all these kids that are being killed well it's my right to do this and and I like that and
17:52
he says well what about protection he goes I said what about protection he goes well somebody's going to break into
17:58
your house I said by the way has anybody ever broken into your house you said uh no but nobody needs and nobody outside
18:05
the military needs an AR-15 in their home um they don't and and the thing is
18:10
the argument is well if you ban guns criminals will still be able to get hold of them yes criminals might but these 14-year-old they're not hardened
18:16
criminals they don't know people in the street they haven't got under underworld contacts they just wouldn't be able to get hold of them no that's very true uh
18:23
you you take a place like New York and and people who visit New York think it's unsafe and in fact New York is one of
18:29
the safest cities in the world it's because there are a lot of cops uh has very strict gun laws people are not
18:35
running around New York carrying guns on the street they are not one time I was in Texas visiting a friend I'm walking
18:41
through a grocery store and a guy had a rifle yeah he was carrying a rifle in
18:46
the butter section what what are we doing and I really did a double take I walked by and go oh my God oh my God it
18:54
was just crazy I wasn't expecting to see anything like that but very acceptable in in parts of Texas and I guess the
19:01
vast majority don't harm anyone no you know any humans but they can get into
19:07
the wrong hands as we know no no that's very true I mean I I have to be really clear about that the people that I know who own guns and there are a lot of
19:14
people I know who own guns they're very responsible a lot of them keep them in their nightstand or they keep them locked up or they keep them in the top
19:20
of their closet away from their kids and they're very very responsible human beings matter of fact most of the people
19:25
I know who are responsible I've never ever had had a conversation about guns I've never said hey do you own a gun it
19:32
just doesn't come up in conversation but I guess if it did a lot of them would and I'd say huh I'm kind of surprised
19:38
because you're like a really responsible guy uh and it is mostly mostly men who have them statistically yes and I think
19:46
um we were talking about it during the song there if we being honest a lot of men particularly do like the idea of
19:52
firing a gun it's the way but you know in a controlled condition you go to a range or you do something like you you
19:59
you fired a oh yeah I did some CL pigeon shooting SK shooting yeah I was actually really good at it I just I think I good
20:06
at darts I've got a good aim for some reason but but that was great and that was on you know controlled thing you're in fields you know with the protection
20:13
around they show you how to hold it and not pointed at people when it's even when it's um it's empty but
20:19
um things can get into the wrong hands as we know I know and there are a lot of people who are not responsible but but
20:25
taking taking high-powered weapons and giving them to your kids I don't know about that that's that's he bought him
20:32
it for Christmas is just you can't as I say looking outside looking in you just can't comprehend but perhaps people
20:38
within the states can't even imagine it as well I know it's just you know for us it's it it it's kind of embroiled in the
20:45
culture it's I I don't remember when I was a child ever hearing about anybody getting shot that didn't happen in the
20:52
6070s even in the 80s and it it's become a problem as the guns have become more powerful and uh there are more everybody
20:59
knows is there are more guns in the US than there are people there are like 3 400 million guns out there right now and
21:05
you never know who's packing and to the point where if you're on a on a on a Interstate or a Motorway or something
21:11
and you and you have a problem with somebody you don't get out of your car and you know that the guy that guy in
21:16
that car next to you who's cut you off he's probably packing you know he's you know he's there's a good chance he's
21:22
going to point a gun to you and I I've never had a gun pointed at me so I don't really know but uh I I would be scared
21:29
out of my mind in case somebody did that so it it wouldn't make me uh go out there and buy a gun to to counter that
21:34
I'm just you know I'm not I'm not afraid in that way no not I remember um I think
21:40
his reaction was it Donald Trump said that talked about arming teachers which he did yeah he did with a straight face
21:46
I'm go let's arm teachers that's a good idea and there are and you know what and there are states in the country who have done that but you can't expect teacher
21:53
that's not what they signed up for um and if they had to shoot somebody that's them that's in their head for the rest of their lives
21:59
that's right you know and it's right and who are you going to shoot and how do you know if the kid comes in you know unless he's carrying a gun how do you
22:05
know that kid is the one who is shooting anybody go ahead shoot the child that's a great idea yeah and if you miss yeah
22:11
plus I you know teachers obviously do a great job at teaching but I I think I knew one in my whole time going through
22:17
any school that would have been capable of pulling a gun on someone and he was ex-military uh they're just not generally not built like that teachers
22:24
but then why should they be you know it's not no that's you're right that's you put it the right way that's not what
22:30
they signed up for um teachers have have enough to do right now and they
22:36
right I figured after everything we've been talking about it's one of those tunes that just cheers everybody up some
22:41
turtles Happy Together Turtles seen live by Rich Reynolds our us scor I I did see
22:47
them live they were excellent this is um Flo and Eddie Howard kin and vman right was later on much later on supporting
22:54
Fleetwood Max this was back in the 70s late 70s early 80 something like that oh
22:59
it was Lindy bucking and Fleetwood M with Ste oh wow yeah and and both bands were great but the turtles are particularly great that dates me a
23:06
little bit no they're great pop tunes I mean that's 67 that one so they' yeah been doing it for a while they were in
23:11
Frank zapper band of course those two I don't think I knew that yeah they were in the Mothers of Invention yeah yeah
23:18
yeah H yeah and then I should have known that this is my job full time you're
23:23
doing your job full time which is to keep an eye on going on ahead off the presidential C de tonight then so um I
23:31
don't know what time is in all the different time zones in the US but say 3:00 9 p.m. in Philadelphia uhu and uh
23:39
300 p.m. Madrid time um big doings it's it's probably going to be the only
23:44
debate that these two ever have it turns out they have never met they have never been on the same stage together they've
23:51
never even said hello because he debated Joe Biden last time she was vice president when they
23:57
ran and ran against uh a guy named Mike Pence a lot of people know and you know
24:03
she debated him but she's never de debated Trump she's very analytical she's a former prosecutor as everybody
24:09
knows and she's she's incredibly sharp and he's kind of you know he's very
24:14
trumpy you know he's all over Donald Trump is very Donald Trump yeah he really is and and and we're going to
24:19
come down to whether or not she can light him up because that's going to be the big thing cuz it just changed overnight didn't it he thought he got it
24:26
all sewn up Donald Trump he did have it all he did when it was still Joe Biden and suddenly oh yeah thr a spanner in
24:32
the works unfortunately every Democrat that was watching this we were we were sitting there watching uh you know Joe
24:39
slipping in the polls to where it was looking like he's never going to recover from this because people blame him for
24:45
the the economy you know the economy is up uh cost of everything up around 20% in the states starting to come down now
24:52
uh cost of gasoline is coming way down in the states and that's a that's a good thing for everybody and it's coming down
24:58
here too I've noticed um and you know the the problem is Joe is getting blamed
25:03
for that and she uh uh you know she was sitting there on the sidelines watching
25:09
this happen but then he had that disastrous um debate debate yeah a couple of weeks ago um a little over a
25:16
month ago that uh that caused him to kind of step away but um yeah this should be really interesting the the
25:23
analytical woman against the bombastic uh former president I mean she's kind of revitalized that campaign just in every
25:29
way because he did you know there was no denying Joe Biden he presented as old he's only three three years older than
25:35
Trump but um seemed older yeah Donald Trump doesn't present as old where Biden
25:40
was you know I I I I I I've told the story before but you know because we have to we see everything delayed over
25:47
here because we it happened in the middle of the night I my wife and I got up uh early on it was a Wednesday
25:53
morning and and uh I said oh let's watch a debate from last night and I'm
25:58
watching this analysis going Joe did this and Joe did that and will this damage his thing and I go I'm thinking
26:05
what did he do you know this is before I watched the debate and I I started to watch it before she came in the room and
26:10
I said she goes well how's he doing meaning Joe and I go wait till you see this it's so it's so horrible it was
26:18
like watching a train wreck and it was just uh well we know how it how it played out so sure um where are we in
26:25
the polls because you'll be up to date with the latest sort of well right now nationally we're at about
26:30
5050 uh and there are about there at any given time there about 20 polls that are
26:36
being taken by different organizations and they don't each one doesn't take one every week but there is a poll at least
26:42
every week and right now um uh it's it's 50/50 it's going to come down to a
26:49
couple of votes in each district in the swing States um the seven or so swing States and uh you could look at at
26:56
certain ones like she's she's ahead in Michigan he's ahead in Pennsylvania by
27:02
uh 1% but the margin of error is like 2 to 3% so it it really is going to come
27:07
down and this brings me to something I I I want to mention to everybody who's listening who lives in Europe and lives
27:15
around the world and is American if you can get your ballot and vote because
27:20
it's estimated that that 8% of all the people who vote are
27:26
living abroad and and so this could really swing the election for either candidate so make sure you get your
27:33
ballot from your state or register from Ab register from abroad.org
27:39
and uh and vote and and do do your duty get it done because uh you know
27:44
otherwise as I said you you can't complain if you don't if you don't cast your vote 5ifth of November it is the election date November 5th yeah and but
27:52
the ballots are going out now I I'm a registered voter in uh in the state of
27:57
South Dakota and our ballots go out get mailed out on the I want to say 26th of
28:03
September so you you see seem to be from a different area every time I hear you
28:08
on this one time you're in Oregon my I know we are we did live in Oregon for 21
28:13
years and uh a couple of years ago we officially became residents of South Dakota okay for uh for different reasons
28:20
and uh that's a very red state but we'll be casting our blue votes somehow it
28:26
you're very right you're very student picking I'm in here say I'm in here every time old I that I was born in New York and
28:34
lived in California and I've lived in I lived all over the country well that's good though because you got a broad you know sort of view
28:40
of different states and the like I'm on the run these people think that of me
28:46
police no no one listen to this time afternoon um were there any other things actually yeah just we'll mention this
28:52
because it's kind of a fun thing to end on not necessarily uh us or you know political but hel
28:58
of the mayonnaise fame um launching a fragrance so as in something you'd wear
29:04

29:10
radar so to speak and that helman's mayonnaise is launching the first ever mayonnaise fragrance fragrance so I do
29:18

30:09
you go it does remind me this I this story I spotted at the last knockings um last couple of days when I knew you
30:14

30:20
former Republican who was on with Jimmy Kimmel yeah live saying um youbody have Donald Trump
30:25
smells some of it is regular body OD but the rest is sort of ketchup and makeup I
30:30
suppose the makeup is understandable yeah there's an old I had heard that but no one no one wants to bring it up in
30:36
front of him no one will talk about it I had heard and read in some articles that he has an odor yeah you know I've I've
30:41
never met him so I wouldn't know but I had heard that he's got a little bit of Bo going there sure yeah
30:48
yeah now now I want to smell him now they don't like yeah perhaps he's ketchup and makeup if he loses this this
30:55
yeah there's another line for him how American yes mon did so did he still do his Stakes I don't know he he's done
31:00
