Speaker 1 (00:00):
Bad inquiry of Trump and Florida.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You have not had a public campaign event for nearly
a week now. Tomorrow you'll be in Montana, which is
not ast wing state. Some of your allies have expressed
concern that you're not taking this race seriously. Particularly had
a steady question where there is enthusiasm on the other side,
why haven't you been campaigning this week?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Because I'm leading by a lot, and because I'm letting
their convention go through, and i am campaigning a lot,
I'm doing tremendous amounts of taping here. We have commercials
that are at a level I don't think that anybody's
ever done before.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Staid so much mccam.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Morning, Mike, Morning, Mike. How are you?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
You got your eye on it. Let's say we've got
a book running at the moment. Semi says, this is
going to last fifty seven minutes. How long you Rickon's
going to go?
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Well, if it's anything like his convention, it'll be an
hour and a half. This is Donald Trump's Well. He
called a general news conference, Mike. He called it last
night to happen today. It started about forty fifty minutes ago.
He's come up with a number of one liners. He sees,
we have a very sick country. We have a lot
of bad things coming up. We could end up in
a depression of the nineteen twenty variety. He said it's close,
(01:08):
and he also said World War three is close. Mike.
He took aim at Tim Wohls, the new vice presidential
candidate for the Democrats, and he said, quote, he's heavy
into the transgender world.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Okay. Just one of the things he did early on
was he announced debates. He's claiming they've got three sorted
fourteen and twenty five September. Is that a lock in
or is he just made that up?
Speaker 4 (01:30):
I don't believe it's lock and I think that's what
he is hopeful for. Kamala Harris hasn't, as far as
I've seen, agreed to the Fox News debates. But one
of the criticisms of Kamala Harris here that Donald Trump's
really been honing in on is the fact that she's
really done no sit down interviews since she got this nomination,
since she took over from Joe Biden at the top
(01:50):
of the ticket. So I think one thing on his
side is that pressure is actually starting to build on
Kamala Harris to sit down and face some sort of
hard policy questions.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Did you see jd Vance walk over to the press
corps by her plane yesterday?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I did, and jd Vance walked over, and I remember
he said something like, I've just come to look at
the plane I'm about to take over in a few months.
And I think a little bit upset about the media
coverage of the Democratic campaign so far. And you can
almost understand why, because it has been saturating the TV's
over here for the last three days. We've watched cable
(02:24):
news basically show entire speeches and entire rallies of Kamala
Harris and kind of talking about the vibe. So you
can understand why the Republicans are unhappy about that.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Is she going to need to come up with something
more than I know his tape, I know his type.
I mean I've heard that about nine hundred times.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Now.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Well, this is interesting because the question really is how
long can this honeymoon period last for Kamala Harris. And
the other thing I'm thinking about is while she's in
this honeymoon glow, at the moment with Tim Wolls, the
polls are still locked at a dead heat when no
one's talking about Donald Trump. She might be just ahead nationally.
For the company that does the polls for Reuters has
come out six hours ago this morning saying this, the
(03:04):
states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, and
Nevada are in a dead heat for the presidency and
it's those swing states, Mike, as we know where this
thing is likely to be decided.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
The good news is, Mitch, this morning, I have just
enough time for you to tell us about the California
pan today, of which it is today.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
This is very, very exciting, Mike, and if you are
interested after the show, you can watch it on live stream.
Yun Chuan and Jinbao are the first giant pandas to
enter the US in twenty one years, though at San
Diego Zoo, and they're on loan from China after Jiji
Ping suggested it would be good for the friendship of
the US and China.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
No stuff, all right, you go, well, well, kept up.
Next week, make Mitch McCann out of the States. And
of course Trump has just been asked about whether he's
going to accept the result this time.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Can you just respond to President Biden basically seeing that
he doesn't think or he fears that there wouldn't be
a peaceful transfer of power if you lose the election.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Well, he actually said it two ways. First, he said
it in correctly, then he corrected himself. Do you agree
with that right? You know, if you watch it, he
said it to the comment But I'm asking you for
I mean, he said it to us because he doesn't
really know what he said. Why didn't he bring it
up at the debate. You know, he had a chance
for ninety minutes to bring it up at the debate.
He could have talked about that at the debate, and
he didn't do it. Everyone said, oh, he said this,
(04:18):
and he said that he's just you know, they give
him something to read off. He read it very badly
because he actually said at the opposite. Then he had
to go back and correct himself. He said the opposite.
He should have brought this up at the debate if
he had a problem. Of course, there'll be a peaceful transfer,
and there was last time, and there'll be a peaceful transfer.
I just hope we're going to have honest elections. That's all, okay.
