Speaker 1 (00:00):
Slight side. Richard Arnold, good morning, Good morning, Mike, Cats
(00:04):
and dogs and blotch.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Right, yeah, we have only a statement from the Trump
campaign on the latest development. You just mentioned that there
were gunshots fired within the vicinity of the former president
in Florida. He was just leaving his Florida golf course.
Secret Service said to be responding because we have learned
much about the botched Secret Service security at the July
the thirteenth event in Pennsylvania, haven't we where Donald Trump's
(00:29):
e was grazed by a bullet and date Trump audience
member was killed. Meantime, another bomb threat has been delivered
in the small town of Springfield in Ohio, has forced
the town's two hospitals to shut down, while some government
buildings and two elementary schools also were evacuated. All this
leading city officials in the town to call on the
leading politicians to stop these wild and baseless claims about
(00:53):
Haitian immigrants eating dogs and cats. To claim that the Trump,
of course raised in the presidential debate after his running
mate j. D. Vance spoke of Ohio Governor Mike DeWine says,
all this eating dogs and cat stuff is quote a
piece of garbage, simply not true, he said a short
time ago.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
These discussions about Haitians eating dogs and cats and other
things needs to start.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Well. Trump has been repeating all of this out on
the campaign, and he said of the bomb threats in Springfield.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I don't know what happened with the bomb threats.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Bumb threats? What bomb threats? While his deputy JD. Evans
was all over the TV talk shows today, including CNN
whereas you've been hearing, he doubled down Trump style and
called the host Dana Basher's questions disgusting and spoke of
her as being a Democratic propagandas quote unquote, they spent many,
many minutes attacking each other. And here's just a teeny
(01:45):
part of it.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I agree. You don't want to talk about policy.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
No, what I want to talk about?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
What I want to talk about instead of about the fact.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Senator, your distraction you were the one you started talking
about and that led to would he follow on interviewee
Pennsylvania's Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro, remarking this that was Bonker's Yeah. Not.
The only unusual thing is his campaign seems to be
on the skids. The former president invited a nine to
(02:13):
eleven conspiracy theorist to the nine to eleven memorial at
Grand Zero as you know last week, drawing criticism from
a number of Republicans. She called the attacks quote an
inside job, and fluted the event on Trump's plane and
spent a deal of time with him. Later, Trump claims
no knowledge of her racist, sexist, conspiratorial rants on ex
where Elon Musk had reinstated her or her description of
(02:36):
Islam as a quote cancer, while Trump himself was fixed
on other issues of our time, issues of moment, writing
on his social media site in all caps that he
hates Taylor Swift and we.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Got the nine to eleven responder speaking for the first time.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, boy, this is a moving story. Speaking of September
the eleventh, Kevin Schaffer saw the attacks in the World
Trade Center from a Pedagon command site, and then of
course the Pentagon was hid, and Schaeffer was right in
the line of attack. He says, the blast set him
on fire and around him with the bodies of all
those in the plane and of one hundred and twenty
five others who were killed inside the Pentagon itself on
(03:12):
that day. Shaffer says he struggled to move and clawed
his way out in the darkness, where he found a
sergeant who was alive, and he cried out to this
man for help. He says his injuries were extensive.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
The pain of the burns was beyond description. They I
likened them to the color of white and white hot
pain is really the only way to describe it.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Where almost half of his body was severely burned, and
that included some internal organs which were treated eventually by
experimental methods.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
They really had to introduce some novel techniques to break
down the infection of my lungs and fight them off with.
But they essentially used live maggots that they had bred
in laboratories to be sterile to eat the infections off my.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Range, novel maggots to eat the deadly bacteria. That's pretty
remarkable stuff. Somehow he came through it all, and he
joined the CIA and wound up in the very small
unit that actually tracked down a summer bin Lada. He
and his mates watched the assault on the bin Laden
compound in the same way that we saw in those
famous photos of then President Obama and his team watching.
He saw bin Laden's body being taken out, and when
(04:12):
he got home that night, he sat with his wife
to hear the presidential announcement.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
She was on my hand and we didn't say a word.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
No words.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
As Kevin schaff has been laden, Sago reached full circle.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
So went so mate pre shore at Richard Arnold, Stateside.
Just I alluded to the Tesla's semi crash. They've been investigating.
This happened back in twenty seventeen. So when I say
a semi, a big truck, so it's a Tesla battery truck.
So the National Transportation Safety Board has been investigating the
cause of this particular crash and more importantly fire for
a number of years, and they released their report over
(04:43):
the weekend. Anyway, the fire closed a majortary of California's
into State eighty for fifteen hours because when evs blow
up and burn, they burned big time, and the first
responders Kel Fire used fifty thousand gallons of of water
over fifteen hours to put this thing out. The only
(05:04):
other ironic thing was the company's battery factory. Isn't a
place called Sparks in Nevada.
