we can welcome our us correspondent Rich
0:02
Reynolds back to the studio yabo here we
0:05
go best day of the week oh right it
0:08
certainly is okay and plenty for us to
0:10
talk about over the past seven days in
0:13
those United States as you called them
0:15
on the advert for this uh Israel first
0:18
of all accepting what's being known as a
0:20
bridging proposal for a ceasefire deal
0:22
Anthony blinking the US Secretary of
0:24
State has been busy he looks like he
0:26
might be getting somewhere or is this
0:28
just to pacify those that need to be
0:30
pacified perhaps you know how many times
0:32
have we talked about this how many times
0:34
have we said hey they're really close to
0:35
a deal they really should be doing
0:36
something and blinking has said we're
0:38
really really close and whether they are
0:40
or not I don't I don't really know I
0:42
just know that they have to get
0:43
something done 40,000 people dead I mean
0:47
uh and it's not his fault it's certainly
0:49
not the US's fault but um clearly uh
0:52
Netanyahu is dug in and he wants the
0:55
deal that he wants but there there are
0:57
an awful lot of people was it over
1:00
people 111 people are still being held
1:03
uh captive and clearly something's got
1:06
to be done but I don't know specifically
1:09
what the uh what the deal points are
1:11
they're they're keeping them pretty much
1:13
uh wrapped up aren't they the exact
1:15
detail yes I mean overall Loosely uh it
1:18
would hold up a ceasefire and release
1:20
the hostages held by Hamas and Gaza but
1:23
the moment Hamas haven't even agreed uh
1:25
or even responded to this um so you know
1:29
and I'm quite not quite sure what a
1:30
bridging a bridging between what what
1:32
happens after that I don't know but but
1:34
but he got on a jet and he's heading to
1:35
Cutter now and then to where else to
1:37
Egypt and uh I I guess to talk to them
1:40
and get their opinion but uh he's talk
1:44
about a guy that's hustling like crazy
1:45
to to get something done well it is in
1:47
the interest of the democratic
1:49
Administration to get this done before
1:52
the election certainly isn't it well
1:55
it's it's the thing we're going to talk
1:56
about next if the economy improves and
1:58
we get inflation down the stock market
2:01
continues to rise and then uh the
2:05
hostages are returned there's a lot to
2:08
talk about um but uh up until that one
2:12
can only hope certainly as well of
2:14
course the situation of those hostages
2:17
as well um you know you you can't really
2:21
uh have people held for that amount of
2:24
time um and as we know some of them have
2:26
died in recent days okay let's look at
2:29
what you just mentioned and you know if
2:31
you're Trump trump constantly saying he
2:34
put me in charge of this I'm going to
2:35
get this done in 5 minutes it'll all be
2:37
freed everything will be great that's
2:39
I'm not sure quite how he thinks
2:41
everybody will be freed but you know
2:42
what what has been um what is thought
2:45
that he would do would be just to let
2:47
Netanyahu do what he wants yeah
2:49
certainly he and Netanyahu have a a lot
2:51
better relationship than he then
2:54
Netanyahu has with Joe Biden who who
2:56
pushes back quite a bit and and Kamala
2:58
really does push back back on him so
3:01
we'll we'll see what happens in the next
3:02
we'll talk a little bit more about that
3:04
shortly but um yeah the Federal Reserve
3:06
as you mentioned are they going to be
3:08
cutting rates as early as September
3:10
everything looks like it's okay isn't it
3:12
as Steady As She goes Yeah and and the
3:15
thing is that uh so to to clarify to
3:18
everybody who's who's not from the US
3:20
and there the the Federal Reserve which
3:22
is just called the FED uh is the chief
3:25
lending uh the chief financial
3:27
institution in the country and it the
3:29
central bank Bas the central bank and
3:31
they set the rates for for home loans
3:33
for auto loans and that sort of thing
3:35
and those numbers have been incredibly
3:36
high for the past three years but
3:38
inflation has been coming down inflation
3:40
is now at under 3% which still high but
3:44
but really better than it's ever been in
3:46
the past uh couple of years so what
3:48
happens now is If the Fed can drop rates
3:51
even by a quarter of a point which
3:53
they've threatened to do for the past
3:55
year and uh they they could have done it
3:58
a few weeks ago and they didn't and what
4:01
happened is we had that bump didn't we
4:03
that Spike rather that Spike and it was
4:06
it happened right before we went on the
4:07
air and I I I remember saying oh my God
4:10
we everybody was losing so much money in
4:11
the stock market well the market has
4:13
rebounded pretty much you weren too sure
4:15
how long it would take I told you
4:16
wouldn't be too long no it turns out it
4:18
was about a
4:19
week and that's about it but right now
4:21
so you were poor for a week basically
4:23
yeah that's that's right so what happens
4:25
if the if the I'm poor all the time and
4:27
so what happens if the if the Fed drops
4:30
rates a quarter of a point the Market's
4:31
going to suddenly take a huge Spike up
4:34
because of anytime the market sees
4:36
anything that's confident anything that
4:38
makes people feel good it's a very
4:40
reactive thing uh you know when when
4:44
camel Harris receives the uh the
4:46
nomination the Market's going to spike
4:48
again even though it's not a surprise so
4:51
that and the uh I I I can't think of
4:54
anything because the the the uh current
4:57
rate is I around I want to say five and
4:59
a half per Ballpark and dropping it down
5:03
to like 5.25 and then drop it down in
5:05
October and maybe November a couple
5:07
times before Chas that has been spoken
5:09
about maybe two or three even uh times
5:12
uh and the reason it does matter is
5:13
because that that phrase of course you
5:16
know uh if America sneezes the rest of
5:18
the world catches a cold financially and
5:20
it does affect the rest of the planet so
5:22
what about the makeup of the Federal
5:24
Reserve then are they are they what are
5:28
they are they made up of of Democrats
5:30
and Republicans or are they just
5:32
neutrals or yeah and and the head of the
5:34
FED uh only answers to the president the
5:36
president is the only one who can
5:38
replace the head of the Fed so there's
5:40
not the FED does not answer to Congress
5:43
or anything else it's an independent
5:44
body and the members of the FED are very
5:47
closely guarded it's I don't think
5:50
everybody knows who compris I I can't
5:52
tell you if it's five people six people
5:54
100 people somebody out there might know
5:57
Jerome Powell's the man isn't he Jerome
5:58
Powell is the man and the secretary of
6:00
the uh of the treasury Janet Yellen she
6:03
was the previous uh head of the FED um
6:06
so we you know I I look at it this way
6:08
we've got we've got some pretty smart
6:10
people involved and I like the direction
6:12
that things are heading I like the fact
6:13
that interest rates are coming down
6:15
inflation is getting a bit a little bit
6:17
lower um things are are I think heading
6:21
in the right
6:23
[Music]
6:25
direction Beyonce with Kendrick Lamar
6:28
and freed that is kamla Harris's
6:31
campaign song I didn't think much of it
6:33
at the beginning but actually then you
6:34
know as it carried on we got the hook
6:36
and we got the the lyrics yeah I think
6:38
that works for her got got all our
6:40
albums are they still called albums yeah
6:44
LPS as well if you
6:45
like um yeah so the uh the Democratic
6:50
Convention underway and uh we'll talk a
6:54
little bit in a moment about how we
6:55
weren't expeced to see her but basically
6:57
last night was meant to be all about Joe
6:59
the way they work it out is that uh this
7:02
time it's they they had Joe last night
7:04
they had a bunch of uh Lieutenant
7:06
Governors on uh and a couple of senators
7:09
and you got to remember this all starts
7:10
like 3: in the afternoon some pop stars
7:12
waiting in the wings pop stars waiting
7:14
in the that's right they had I don't
7:15
know if anybody this was written about
7:18
much but James Taylor was supposed to
7:19
come on after Biden and sing a couple of
7:21
tunes and they bumped him so Mr Fire and
7:24
Rain Mr You've Got a Friend adios
7:27
muchacho That was cuz Biden went on for
7:29
a bit too long he went on a little bit
7:31
put him on at 11:30 10:30 at night he
7:34
was back on form there wasn't he yeah he
7:36
was on fire he did a he did a really
7:37
nice job last night and if you ever get
7:40
a chance go to YouTube or something like
7:42
that and uh see if you can uh watch the
7:44
whole speech he was very very forceful
7:47
very good so and tonight uh tonight we
7:51
have uh the Obamas both of them are
7:53
speaking and uh a bunch of other people
7:56
again bunch of senators the the second
7:59
gentleman who is uh kamla Harris's um
8:02
husband he will be speaking tonight Doug
8:05
uh
8:06
so and um quite a lot of endorsement
8:09
coming through Alexandria acasio Cortez
8:11
tell me about her AOC AOC is a
8:14
congresswoman from the state of New York
8:16
I I believe she's in her second term uh
8:19
might be her third but it's second term
8:21
um very very popular very polarizing in
8:24
Manhattan um but very young uh in her
8:28
late 20s Chicago loves her and it was a
8:30
very fiery speech I thought she was
8:31
great um but as she is very polarizing
8:34
she's got some very definitive uh
8:37
thoughts about things and as you and I
8:39
were talking off air a former bartender
8:41
that's what she was doing before she got
8:43
this job she she was tending bar in
8:45
Manhattan and said well maybe I can do
8:47
this and she ran against a heavily uh
8:50
favored incumbent another uh Democrat
8:53
and ended up winning the seat a couple
8:54
years ago so AOC is a real real uh Power
8:59
of very powerful uh person very powerful
9:01
voice in the uh in the Congress and it
9:04
seems to have been going well hasn't it
9:05
really the uh the two Democratic
9:09
nominees have been clean cleaning up
9:11
around the country they all seem to be
9:13
doing really well they uh the the the
9:15
momentum seems to be having shifted
9:17
toward toward the Democrats um whether
9:20
that's a honeymoon phase whether that's
9:23
just an additional shine on the Apple
9:25
because things are are new and fresh and
9:28
different where Joe is not new and fresh
9:30
and different I I don't really know for
9:32
sure we'll know in a couple of weeks but
9:34
right now the polls are all going in the
9:35
right direction everything is up um Joe
9:38
left right after the speech he's not
9:40
coming back so he went back to
9:42
Washington so he will not be taking a
9:44
Victory lap with them this is her
9:46
convention now yeah why was she why did
9:48
she show up yesterday because that's not
9:50
normal is it I mean the headlines were
9:52
quite um easy on her by calling it a
9:55
surprise uh but you said his bad form I
9:58
I this is just my opinion I thought it
10:00
was bad for for her to come out because
10:03
uh she's going to have the spotlight on
10:05
Thursday it's all going to be about her
10:07
what happens on Tuesday uh there's some
10:10
more speeches tonight on
10:12
Wednesday uh Tim walace is going to
10:14
speak and his wife will come out and
10:16
talk about how great he is it's all very
10:18
formulaic you know uh last night uh
10:21
Steve Kerr the basketball coach of the
10:23
Olympic basketball team came out also
10:25
was from Chicago uh he he was played
10:28
there when I I I lived in Chicago for a
10:30
number of years and uh he's very very
10:33
popular there and what happens on
10:36
Thursday that's when they take the vote
10:39
that's when they
10:40
determine uh legally that she's going to
10:43
be the nominee and then she comes out
10:44
she gives a speech her husband comes out
10:47
they wave to the crowd but for her to
10:49
show up when this is Joe's big moment I
10:51
don't know you know you could have
10:53
pulled him aside you could have gone
10:54
backstage and said you know thank you Mr
10:57
President blah blah blah uh I I think
11:00
she kind of stole the Spotlight by
11:01
walking out during his speech but that's
11:03
just me other people say may say hey uh
11:07
it it's just a weird circumstance it
11:09
might have been pre-arranged because
11:11
like thing but Hillary Clinton was about
11:14
as well Hillary Clinton came out and
11:16
gave a really really good speech
11:19
however however this is this is my
11:22
thought and nobody nobody else has
11:24
shared this thought before and I've
11:26
shared it with my wife numerous times
11:28
and that thought is that if Hillary
11:31
Clinton who ran a in my estimation a
11:33
really crappy campaign in 2016 a really
11:37
lazy campaign that didn't Inspire well
11:39
and truly beaten by Trump then truly
11:41
truly if she had run a great campaign if
11:45
she had been elected there would be no
11:47
more Trump he would not have been
11:49
elected he would not be a have run in
11:51
2020 he certainly wouldn't be around in
11:54
2024 so for us to say oh Hillary you're
11:57
so wonderful you're so great what a
11:59
great great speech I'm saying where were
12:00
you in 2016 when we needed you you know
12:03
you ran this lazy campaign thinking that
12:06
she was going to walk into the oh you
12:07
think that's what it was she just
12:09
thought she was going to walk in she
12:11
didn't really pull out a finger I I
12:12
think so in matter of fact the last week
12:15
her husband had told her you had better
12:17
get to and we know this for a fact this
12:19
is all written down you had better get
12:21
to Michigan you better get to uh
12:24
Wisconsin uh you know right before
12:27
election day you me one last po get out
12:29
there and she said no no I'm
12:31
good you wasn't good and you didn't
12:33
carry either State Joe Joe Biden said
12:37
that the people demonstrating outside
12:40
the uh Democratic National Convention uh
12:43
they were demonstrating of course
12:45
because of the situation in Gaza he said
12:48
they've got a
12:50
point well they thought they were going
12:52
to be about about could have been 40,000
12:55
people protesting but he knows that he's
12:58
been trying to solve this he and blinkin
13:00
have been trying to solve this problem
13:01
for what seven months now or eight
13:04
months and it hasn't gotten done but for
13:07
them for for people to protest the all
13:10
the 40,000 people who have died over
13:13
40,000 people it's legitimate and for
13:15
him to turn around and say ah well you
13:17
know we're all we we only back the
13:19
Israelis because because they're our
13:22
Ally it would have been a little
13:24
disingenuous because he himself has
13:27
expressed concern for all these people
13:28
who have
13:30
who have died who are displaced who are
13:33
hungry and thirsty they don't have
13:34
clothes on their back so that's that's
13:36
what he was saying is that you know I
13:38
kind of get it that these people are
13:40
upset now whether you he's in the power
13:43
to do anything this is not the US War
13:47
it's not the UK's War it's you know at
13:49
the end of the day without the us though
13:51
you'd have to think that perhaps it
13:53
wouldn't be going the way that it is
13:55
that's right well everybody would agree
13:57
with that that's that's absolutely I was
13:59
trying to be diplomatic no I know so
14:02
actually yeah you were saying they were
14:03
expecting 20 to 40,000 actually in the
14:05
end only a few thousand people were
14:06
there yeah and they were overall a
14:08
couple people I think they said four to
14:10
10 people got arrested quite different
14:12
than 1968 when the city of Chicago was
14:15
completely on fire with at that
14:17
convention and saw a few stories about
14:19
that prior to the event yeah yeah so
14:21
that's what they were afraid of and so
14:22
they guarded against it and matter of
14:24
fact the protesters didn't get any
14:26
closer than about a mile from uh United
14:29
Center um so we'll see what happens
14:31
tonight I think the protesters are going
14:33
to stay out there but overall it seems
14:35
like they were very well behaved there
14:37
were no rocks thrown and nobody hurt and
14:39
you know couple people just wouldn't
14:41
move on or they broke through the
14:42
barricades and they were taken off to
14:43
jail so quite a decent bill tonight
14:45
though isn't it really if you think
14:46
about it um Barack and Michelle Doug
14:49
mhof coming up on the bill for this
14:52
evening do you stay up watching or do
14:53
you catch it in the morning no I catch
14:55
it on the reruns I do it's it's the
14:58
middle of the night tonight I'm not I'm
15:00
a political junkie but I'm not I'm not
15:02
going to stay up and do that I'm of I'm
15:04
I have I am of
15:05
nobody's uh no worth at all at 3:00 in
15:09
the morning I'm not I'm not staying up I
15:11
see it just as well I get up at 7:30 I
15:13
watch it and on repeats and uh I I get
15:16
the gist of it really really Qui also on
15:19
the bill Illinois governor I don't know
15:20
very much about the Illinois governor
15:23
yeah um but apparently a future
15:25
presidential hopeful yeah JB pritzker's
15:27
uh um uh governor of the state of
15:31
Illinois you know where Chicago is based
15:33
of course so they had to give him some
15:34
time speaking and he is very very
15:37
popular in the state of Illinois he is a
15:40
billionaire he's the F boy I want to I
15:43
want to say he's he's from the he's got
15:45
Hyatt money from the Hyatt Hotels might
15:48
be Hilton I think it's Hyatt uh but he's
15:50
got some Hotel money behind him but
15:52
despite the fact he's very very uh
15:56
congenial really interesting guy in the
15:59
uh and he's been quite vocal because
16:01
there been a national issue illino
16:03
recently with the black woman who was
16:05
fatally wounded um after she called 911
16:09
yeah last month and uh he's calling for
16:11
the resignation of that the sheriff
16:13
whose Deputy wounded the black woman so
16:15
uh yeah he's uh he's he's not one for
16:18
standing in the shadows is he no and and
16:20
we haven't talked about that story a
16:22
whole lot but that was very very
16:23
unfortunate for those people who don't
16:25
know what we're talking about a a woman
16:27
called the police
16:30
because uh there was a disturbance at
16:32
her house nobody was in the house she
16:33
was in the house alone the police came
16:35
and knocked at the door and and she she
16:37
said oh I'm glad you're here and you
16:39
know after a few seconds they shot and
16:41
killed her and she was the one who
16:43
called the police so it was very very
16:45
very unfortunate um should never have
16:48
happened but you're right he's been very
16:50
outspoken about that he's a very
16:52
sympathetic person and I I think you
16:55
could be hearing from him for a long
16:56
time usually you I find the p
16:58
politicians who break in who are
17:00
billionaires and they have a lot of them
17:02
run as Republicans but they they have
17:06
it's unusual for them to have this much
17:08
empathy you know so it's it's kind he's
17:10
kind of an interesting guy and we
17:12
haven't really mentioned him in too much
17:14
detail so far today but obviously we're
17:17
not going to get away without mentioning
17:19
uh Donald Trump and uh he's well been up
17:23
to a number of shenanigans recently the
17:25
counterprogramming as you called it
17:27
continues yeah he he um excuse me he uh
17:30
was countered he was counseled by his
17:33
people to just take the week off during
17:35
this convention because yeah it lay low
17:37
because the Democrats were going to get
17:39
all its attention this was their time
17:41
and I don't think uh um the Democrats
17:45
did much during the Republican
17:46
convention they sort of took the week
17:47
off and and to kind of uh get their act
17:51
together but Trump is out there he's in
17:53
uh how old Michigan today and I don't
17:55
know what part of the State Michigan
17:56
Michigan is a very big state where that
17:58
is is and uh also in kosha Wisconsin so
18:02
he's he's hitting some of those um some
18:04
of those states that could go either way
18:07
yeah Battleground stat Battleground St
18:08
the purple States as we call them um but
18:12
U he he's been uh at his old up to his
18:16
old tricks talking about the way people
18:18
look and talking about how much better
18:20
looking he is than K haris he's still
18:22
going on about that he hated that Life
18:24
Magazine cover he's still talking about
18:26
it still talking about it talked about
18:28
how beautiful she looks and how much she
18:30
looks like Melania which she doesn't and
18:33
one commentator said she looks like
18:34
Melania if she were just another human
18:37
person yes they looked alike but yeah
18:39
he's he's really really uh bothered by
18:42
that and uh so the ways he's his his
18:46
handlers have told him talk more about
18:48
policy if you talk about inflation if
18:50
you talk about the border and and ways
18:52
that you separate yourself from from
18:54
Democrats you're going to be good and
18:56
then he launches off and the way she's
18:59
not good-looking she's not smart you
19:01
know I don't you may differ with
19:03
somebody but I think somebody who is a
19:05
former prosecutor has was a lawyer and
19:08
is a senator and was a uh an attorney
19:12
general they're pretty smart you may not
19:13
agree with them of course there are
19:15
there have been headlines that accuse
19:16
her of not being that smart that um you
19:19
know go against that thought um so
19:21
obviously he's trying to play to that
19:23
and as we know where people only sit in
19:25
their own internet or Facebook bubble
19:28
then they they're like-minded people
19:31
knowing like-minded stuff about what
19:32
everybody else knows about the things
19:34
like that right did you did you see any
19:36
of the footage of him in the and the
19:37
McDonald's and the oh so a lot of a lot
19:41
of you out there may have seen it what
19:42
he did was he called a press conference
19:45
one day and he came out I think this was
19:47
at maralago he comes out and he had set
19:50
up two two giant tables filled with
19:53
grocery items and just talked about how
19:57
things were more expensive than they
19:58
were when he was president and there was
20:01
a McDonald's story wasn't there the past
20:03
week as well about about how much more
20:06
expensive they are so perhaps that's
20:07
where they were coming from with that
20:08
but but but a lot of this was but you
20:11
know how milk milk used to cost this
20:12
much eggs used to cost this much bread
20:14
used to cost this much and the Laughing
20:16
part uh that the the Press had was if we
20:20
doubt that anybody doubts that he is
20:22
ever shop for milk or eggs and we know
20:24
he's never been in the grocery store to
20:26
buy that's always the thing isn't it ask
20:28
a politician how much price upon of milk
20:29
is well they did that to George George
20:31
Bush Senior when he was in office he
20:33
said by the way do you know how much
20:34
milk costs and he go I don't know $10 go
20:38
no that's not what that's not what milk
20:41
cost so uh but but he was going on and
20:45
on about Tic Tacs and how and about
20:47
shrinkflation which everybody knows
20:48
about and this is
20:51
a container of tic taacs this is the the
20:54
TIC taacs are smaller on the container
20:56
exact container then he said I've never
20:59
heard of this before so they you've
21:01
never heard of tic tac he never heard of
21:02
tic tac that's what he said so anyhow
21:05
kind of like that the gates the whole
21:06
reason for doing it I don't exactly but
21:09
but he's uh clearly uh looking for
21:14
something to talk about he's grasping at
21:15
straws and this past week it was it was
21:18
the cost of things which by the way is
21:21
coming down things are still little
21:23
expensive but yeah they need to
21:24
capitalize on it while they can perhaps
21:26
you know um and there has been some
21:28
fakes around as well one Taylor Swift
21:31
the subject of that um and his mate
21:33
musky and kamla Harris well they know
21:36
that there have been quite a few
21:39
Graphics turned out and put on X and put
21:42
on Facebook and put on Instagram that
21:44
are shots of of swifties for Trump and
21:50
Taylor Swift and her people came out and
21:52
said no we don't endorse that we don't
21:55
think our people endorse Trump and you
21:57
need to stop doing this and and you know
22:00
using any sort of likeness of her to put
22:02
on T-shirts it's all a deep fake it's
22:05
all being created by the Trump campaign
22:07
and they admit it it's not illegal in
22:09
the states to do that
22:13
well yeah I guess it we should just add
22:16
it to the other might be it's got to be
22:19
illegal I don't know if it is I don't
22:21
think I think going to call call the
22:23
police and say hey people are putting me
22:25
on putting my face on t-shirt well we've
22:27
had this with songs haven't we where
22:29
where people don't want their songs
22:30
associated with particular politicians
22:32
Trump included um and you would have
22:34
thought that actually you know given the
22:36
way the Cy right generally is quite
22:37
strong for music artists that it
22:39
shouldn't be too much of a problem to
22:41
say cease and assist really yeah whether
22:43
they do or not who knows uh but but I I
22:46
I guess if anybody has has good lawyers
22:48
it's Taylor Swift she and she and
22:51
Beyonce have hopefully hopefully the two
22:53
of them are going to show up at the
22:54
convention that's the rumor that's the
22:56
rumor that either one of them or both of
22:58
them are show up at the convention for
22:59
Joe but but in the meantime Trump really
23:02
believes that he's got the endorsement
23:04
he wants the endorsement of all the
23:06
swifties and all the Beyonce's listeners
23:09
and if he can get that good luck to you
23:12
that that ain't happening what about the
23:14
musk supporters as well after their
23:16
Bromance uh oh my God I don't know I
23:20
don't know why anybody want his support
23:22
but um Trump loves him and and musk
23:25
loves Trump I don't want to fly in any
23:27
of his Rockets I mean I don't want to
23:29
I'm not going to buy a Tesla and I'm I'm
23:31
certainly choosing not to go to space on
23:33
any of his rcks not right now no at
23:36
least not next next not next week okay
23:39
um another Republican front has been to
23:41
accuse Joe Biden of impeachable conduct
23:44
uh but there's not very much evidence
23:46
behind this story is there well that's a
23:48
story coming out of the coming out of
23:50
Congress that a lot of people are not
23:51
paying attention to because it doesn't
23:54
have much validity that there are a
23:56
handful of Republicans now now that
23:59
dislike Joe Biden so much that they're
24:01
trying to come up with articles of
24:04
impeachment saying that because of his
24:06
relationship with his son and because
24:09
his son got
24:10
convicted um and was uh had a problem
24:14
with drugs that that they're saying that
24:16
Joe Biden is this reflects on him and
24:19
that there's a good reason to believe
24:22
that he should be impeached for the
24:24
actions of his son and it makes no sense
24:28
it's not getting any traction there
24:30
they're always it doesn't matter whether
24:31
you're in the UK or Germany or Japan
24:34
there are always going to be those
24:35
people who are conspiracy nuts who go
24:37
out there and say yeah we're gonna yeah
24:40
he needs to go well you're not going to
24:42
push him out five months before the end
24:45
of his term um especially when he's been
24:48
a a very I I I've said this before I
24:51
think he's a very good president and
24:52
he's been very very strong and he's
24:54
certainly not uh a traitor and actually
24:57
this n the first time because we've
24:59
we've seen there's been a a trait of
25:01
this from the Republicans trying to
25:03
impeach him for various different things
25:05
but they they've all fallen short no it
25:07
hasn't gotten any traction so I I don't
25:08
think there's much to talk about uh in
25:10
this I think this thing is just going to
25:12
go away by itself in the next couple of
25:14
weeks meanwhile JD Vance goes from
25:17
strength to strength with some of his
25:20
quotes and uh he was speaking on Fox
25:23
News what did he say he said giving
25:25
Camala Harris control over inflation
25:27
policy it's like giving Jeffrey Epstein
25:30
control over human trafficking policy
25:32
the American people are much smarter
25:35
than that they don't buy the idea that
25:37
kamla Harris represents a fresh start
25:39
quotes
25:41
unquote well I think you need to uh when
25:44
you're a politician and you're looking
25:45
for votes you need to invoke the name of
25:47
Jeffrey Epstein and Adolf Hitler as much
25:49
as you possibly can people really like
25:52
that I don't know what I don't know what
25:54
this guy is smoking I don't know what
25:55
he's thinking to to uh uh to talk about
25:58
stuff like this
26:01
um I think he's just G grasping at
26:03
straws to try to find something to talk
26:05
about to get to get people talking about
26:07
this and this is this is a dog whistle
26:09
this is just red meat that you're
26:11
throwing to the fox audience he would
26:13
never have said this on CBS NBC ABC BBC
26:17
he wouldn't have said Shannon bream
26:19
didn't really shoot him down on it did
26:20
she though it's um no but they wouldn't
26:22
expect that I suppose no she drinks the
26:24
Kool-Aid we all know we all know how
26:26
things go there right I'm just going to
26:29
have a quick check okay we we need
26:31
there's a couple of things for us to
26:32
wrap on here let's talk first of all
26:35
then uh about the uh icon Phil donghu
26:40
died at the age of 88 perhaps not as
26:42
well known in the UK I want to talk
26:44
about this just for a second only
26:45
because I used to work I I met met Phil
26:48
donu a number of times and uh um I
26:51
certainly didn't get to know him well
26:52
but I work for the same company that he
26:54
did and uh I joined the company in 1984
26:58
and his his show was the biggest thing
27:00
on daytime television so he was kind of
27:01
the first person to deal with real big
27:04
issues in daytime daytime TV and this
27:06
was back in the mid Jeremy Kyle or
27:08
something exactly and he was the first
27:10
one to ever take questions from the
27:11
audience so normally and he was doing
27:14
things on incest and rape and he was
27:17
doing things on uh homelessness and
27:21
mental illness and that sort of thing
27:23
nobody nobody ever dealt with that sort
27:25
of stuff before and he got to the point
27:27
where if he
27:29
didn't didn't have much else to say he
27:32
would go into the audience I remember he
27:33
would say there's a lot of wisdom out
27:35
here and he would go out with his
27:36
microphone and he was the very first one
27:38
to ever do that and and God love him the
27:40
show ran for about 30 years and uh Oprah
27:43
paid tribute to him um talking about how
27:47
you know it weren't for donu it was in
27:50
fact Oprah it was because of Oprah that
27:53
donu went off the air because Oprah
27:56
became so popular she became so
27:58
uh
28:00
incredibly smart and so
28:03
incredibly um ubiquitous she was
28:06
literally everywhere that Donahue after
28:08
a couple years just kind of folded his
28:10
tent he had been on the air for 30 years
28:11
so I mean everybody everybody has their
28:13
expiration date and his just came and
28:15
went uh good guy smart guy great
28:19
broadcaster you're right he was not not
28:20
a big thing outside of America but those
28:22
of you who are Americans uh who have
28:25
watched him for years and years and
28:27
years uh he will be missed and he was uh
28:29
as you said 88 years old okay just to
28:31
wrap then what would you do if somebody
28:32
came up and tried to sell your house who
28:34
had nothing to do with you but just put
28:36
your house on the market well it would
28:38
be a hunka Hunker burning low a woman's
28:41
been accused of trying to auction off
28:42
Alvis Presley's former home graceand and
28:45
defraud the singer's family out of
28:47
millions of dollars how I mean what well
28:51
well a woman claims that uh that the
28:55
people who own um Grace tried to um try
29:00
to uh I don't know tried to defraud her
29:04
and and she turned around and says well
29:08
I I now own a piece of graceand I own
29:10
part of a graceand so I'm going to sell
29:12
it and it's all kind of a crazy story
29:15
Bonkers uh 2.8 million it was on the
29:17
market for I
29:18
thought that's a good price yeah yeah
29:21
that's a good price I'll do it okay but
29:24
yeah it's obviously not going ahead this
29:26
so if anybody tries to sell you land
29:28
don't buy it okay uh Elvis's ghost lives
29:31
there and you don't want to deal with
29:32
that I think Lisa Marie still has quite
29:33
a lot more to say about it really to be
29:35
honest so which means we'll
29:38
wrap oh yes we are uh us correspondent
29:41
rich rold is with us every Tuesday thank
29:43
you buddy see you next week
