Richard Arnold: US correspondent on Donald Trump's crude remarks about legendary golfer Arnold Palmer

Former President Donald Trump's crude remark of legendary golfer Arnold Palmer is raising eyebrows.

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are on the home stretch to election day in under three weeks.

US correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking Trump has spent time talking about the late golfer's genitalia during a visit to Pennsylvania.

And Elon Musk's daily voter lottery is gaining attention.

The tech billionaire is giving away US$1 million a day to a registered voter in the key swing state of Pennsylvania until election day in November.

Musk has emerged as a Trump supporter over the past few years.

Arnold says the winner will be chosen at random from those who sign a pro-constitution petition.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Right I State signed Richard morning to you morning. How
these leak documents? What are they showing about?

Speaker 2 (00:05):
As well?

Speaker 3 (00:07):
Quite a bit A couple of documents involved here in
the US government is investigating how this came about. These
describe satellite surveillance of Israeli plans to attack Iran. They
appear to indicate Israeli rehearsals for an attack in response,
of course, to the Iranian missile firings at the start
of the month on October the first, that Israeli reaction

(00:27):
could come at any time. The second document shows how
Israeli is shifting the placement of its own missiles and
weapons in case Iran responds again with more strikes of
their own. Mike Johnson, the US Speaker, says, the leak
is troubling.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
The leak is very concerning. There's some serious allegations being
made there. Investigation underway, and I'll get a brief in
on that in a couple of hours.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Well, these documents are the supposedly super secret National Security
Agencies Domain and the USDAA, the satellite agency. They were
marked top secret, So was this material league by someone
inside the US intelligence community. This information was sharable within
the Five Eyes Group, the Intelligence Group which includes the US, Britain, Canada,

(01:09):
Australia and New Zealand. Or was the information hacks That
is another possibility. Speaker Mike Johnson says the US should
be backing Israel to the max in his view, in
its face off with Tehran.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
We can't appease Iran. Now is the time for a
maximum pressure campaign against the head of the snake.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Of course, the Biden administration serves Israel to take advantage
of the killing of the Hamasla ya Ya Sinwa the
other day to press for a ceasefire in Gaza. Instead,
we've seen Israeli tax on Gaza today with an account
of eighty people killed in that. Biden has been increasingly
at odds, it seems, with Israel's PM Netanyahu. Kamala Harris
has said little read the Middle East catastrophe, while the

(01:49):
Israelis are saying nothing zip about this secret document's leak.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
And then we come to the election Ni times.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Seems that way, doesn't it. Final spread at Shure seems
to be fun and games. Yeah, the Trump rallies are
increasingly weird. He spent a deal of time in his
latest event in Pennsylvania at the Annold Palmer Regional Airport.
This was because the late golfer was born in that state.
But praising the golf champion's penisile.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Palmer was all man. And I say that it all
due respect to women, and I love women, but this guy,
this guy, this is a guy that was all man.
When he took showers with the other pros that came
out of there and they said, oh my god, that's unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
They paused for a moment here. Yeah, so that's the
camp paid focus right now. Although I suppose, you know,
crude humor appeal to the bros and the group, I
don't know. Meantime, Kamala Harris has been joined by a
series of music lip Lizzo was alongside as she spoke
in Detroit, they stay at.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Kamala Wins, then the whole country will be like Detroit.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Usher and Stevie Wonder, a rosted for the Harris campaign,
says Harris.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
We don't want to have any regrets about what we
could have done these next seventeen days. So yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Elon Musk now has, as if vindicated, swapped his black
Mega hat for a golden Mega cap literally and set
up this sort of Trump supported lottery. Anyone who attends
a rally headline by eline, must sign that petition quote
in favor of free speech and the right to bear
arms end quote. Not at the rally, of course. And
Musk is pledging each day a one million dollar prize

(03:38):
to the latest winner of the Musk Trump Lotto. Some
random person, he says, is that legal. Wonder's Pennsylvania Governor
Josh Shapiro of the move.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
When you start flowing this kind of money into politics,
I think it raises serious questions that folks may want
to take a look at.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, yeah, heck, outside money in these elections has topped
a billion dollars on a puny million bucks. But Professor
Ricassan says, no way, is this election lot illegal. Maybe
the US Supreme Court could consider that, or you know,
maybe not.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Okay, So you went to Richard Arnold State, so I
just before we lived. By the way, it's the great
tobacco debate in this country. At the moment of heat,
the tobacco products in case of castello and all that
stuff steps out over the weekend. In the States, tobacco
use has fallen to a twenty five year low among
middle and high school students. E cigarettes are the big go.

(04:28):
Zim's a big go at the moment as well, but
fewer and fewer people using it, which is encouraging.
