1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: This is the fitting in Whipper with Kate Richie podcast,

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: Every headline around the world fits as you would have seen.

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: Biden is out of the race, guys. Just before four

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: am this morning, announced that he would not be challenging

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: for the White House role. That is it done, dusted.

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: The baton changed to Kamala Harris. She takes over in

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: the presidential range.

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 2: Too young, way too I thought Joe was just starting

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: a hitty strap, isn't it just it's a basket case.

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 2: It's an absolute basketcase because we're only a few months

11
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: out from the election.

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: I mean he could have I wonder if he stepped

13
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: back and he looked at the numbers and thought, well,

14
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: Trump's going to win, so what does it matter.

15
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 2: Who do you think would have been the person that

16
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: would have got him over the line, because he has

17
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: pushed back the whole time, saying I'll be okay, this

18
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 2: just get me to the election.

19
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 3: I'll be fine.

20
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: Do you think it was a barma? Was Obarber the

21
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: one that had to pull him aside and say Joe,

22
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: come on.

23
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: Would have been would have been a major role. But

24
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, his wife,

25
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: I think she would have turned to him, or he

26
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: turned to her and he got her name wrong, and

27
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: that's what she said. Let's just put the feed up

28
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: and what's a little bit of Bidall's Dallas or something,

29
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, that's if you don't need to do.

30
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is so Kamala Harris. I mean, it's just

31
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 2: I cannot believe that everything is just pointing in the

32
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: direction that Trump is going to become president.

33
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 3: Even more could if you wanted Nelly.

34
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: Unbelievable, just the turn of his head, he could his

35
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 2: life could have been gone. Now he survived that. Joe

36
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: Biden's pulled out of the race a few months out

37
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: from the election.

38
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: Things happened in Free though, Ryan James, what will be

39
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: the third major event in the lead up to the Poles?

40
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: That is actually a fair call.

41
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: What will have to happen next.

42
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 3: It's a historical moment. Joe Biden is not going.

43
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: To be the Democratic presidential nominee.

44
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 4: President Biden is now endorsing his vice.

45
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 3: President Kamala Harris to be the nominee of the Democratic Party.

46
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 4: It has completely changed this twenty twenty four campaign less

47
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 4: than four months out from the election.

48
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: Amazing to see two Trump statement on what has he

49
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: had to say crooked Joe Biden was not fit to

50
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: run for president, and that is fit to serve.

51
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 2: Was coming from it like he's just been convicted, what

52
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: with thirty six charges?

53
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 4: I know, how can he throw the word around crooked?

54
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: Makes me laugh is when Joe Biden comes on the TV.

55
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: Even my kids at the age of seven and eight go,

56
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: there's sleepy Joe. What's sleepy Joe up to?

57
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: Doesn't it? So if you've waken up this morning press

58
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: release he started it with my fellow Americans, you know

59
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: he's gone.

60
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 3: So Joe is out.

61
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: He's fully endorsed Kamala Kamala Harris, and we need to

62
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 2: find out what's happening over in the US. One man

63
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: he knows all about it is Channel seven US Bureau

64
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: Chief David Would.

65
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: David, what is the.

66
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 2: Mood like in the US at the moment this morning?

67
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 3: Well, I can Taylor. It's a mood of scrambling fever

68
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: at the moment within Democrats circles, they now have to

69
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,839
Speaker 3: go back to the drawing boards, back to square one.

70
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: They now have to go back through that primary process.

71
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: We know that Joe Biden has now thronty support behind

72
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 3: his deputy. The CEP picked Kamala Harris in this in

73
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 3: this race now and she has now accepted that nomination.

74
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: But of course they have to go to the convention

75
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 3: floor next month, so just a few weeks away. It's

76
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 3: not done dusted just yet. Guy, It's really quite a

77
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: chaotic moment, Dave.

78
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: You've been working a bum off over there by the way, too,

79
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: so we've enjoyed the coverage that aside. Kamala Harris, can

80
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: you give me the general vibe on her? Is there

81
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: a lot of support for her?

82
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 3: It's hard to tell. Look, she definitely has her supporters

83
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 3: and she most certainly has her detractors as well. If

84
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 3: that we've seen that the Republicans just over the past

85
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: week or so really pivot towards attacking her as well.

86
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: She's not like within conservative circles for a number of reasons,

87
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 3: but she really does have her supporters, and look, Poland

88
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: has some kind of neck and monks in a lot

89
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: of those swing states with Joe Biden as well, so

90
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 3: there's an argument there that she's going to take this

91
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 3: fight up to him now. But of course, with all

92
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 3: that additional money, she's still got to her own VP

93
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: now and get her to get ready. The Democrats now

94
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 3: believe that they at least have a fighting chance with her,

95
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 3: which is what they just didn't have with Joe Biden.

96
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 4: And where does Joe go now? I don't really know

97
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 4: how these things work. When you step down like this,

98
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 4: is that it's all over Red Rover, you go on

99
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 4: a holiday and leave it to everybody else.

100
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 3: Well, he's still got to see out his term, right

101
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: So right now he's in Delaware. He's at home isolating

102
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 3: the COVID which is just like looking at the optics

103
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 3: of this are pretty bad for jo and he's trying

104
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: to tell everybody's getting ready to go and he's sort

105
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 3: of stuck in bed at the moment with the sniffles

106
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 3: with COVID nineteen. We're expecting him back out on the campaign.

107
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 3: Trailing will certainly now be healthy Tamala Harris in that

108
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: process as well. But he will see out this time

109
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 3: now in the White House, the one term US president,

110
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 3: and he will throw his support behind her. But he's

111
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 3: going to stay in the White House, not resigning to

112
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 3: President David.

113
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: Let's be honest. I mean, it's all pointing to another

114
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: re election for Donald Trump. You've spent a lot of

115
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 2: time over there, David, you've been to a few rallies.

116
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: Can you tell us the popularity that this man has,

117
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: Like when you go to these rallies, what's the feeling

118
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: like for an everyday punter like yourself, David, when you're

119
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 2: at these rallies.

120
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 3: Well, these guys that go to those rallies, they won't

121
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 3: be convinced either way, right, So Donald Trump can't do

122
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: anything wrong in their eyes. They are so rusted on

123
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 3: and locked on with him. I mean, the guy's criminal,

124
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: he's a sex offender, he's so many other awful things,

125
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 3: and yet he is still garnering a lot of support

126
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 3: from that space. So there will be people within that

127
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 3: Republican movement as well that they didn't want to vote

128
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 3: with Joe Biden. They didn't see that as a viable option.

129
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 3: But now they might be thinking. They might say, oh,

130
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: there's someone out that I can now vote for. They're

131
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 3: a little bit younger. We'll have to see what her

132
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 3: ticket looks like. Maybe they will have a more popular

133
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: Democrats sort of running in those circles. It imagine it

134
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 3: to be someone from one of those rough felt states

135
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 3: that a lot of that is actually essential for both

136
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 3: candidates to now win if they are to take this

137
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 3: victory in November, So who knows. I don't know which

138
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: way it's going to go. You sort of can't call

139
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 3: it now. I know that the Pulses will be furiously

140
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 3: trying to get those numbers out.

141
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: There, and Dave, we needby for the assassination attempt.

142
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 3: I was actually watching it from Milwaukee, so we just

143
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 3: arrived for the Republican National Convention. We were watching it live,

144
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 3: and I just had that moment of like abject confusion

145
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 3: and horror as the rock was unfolding as we were

146
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 3: watching it there and then we're on live on air

147
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 3: for the next eighteen hours. But yeah, a huge moment.

148
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 3: You can't believe that these these instances, in these circumstances

149
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 3: now unfolded in such rapid succession in such a small

150
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 3: period of time orundly one hundred or so days out

151
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: now from colection race. So it's just the most consequential

152
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: race really really in New Its history.

153
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: Interesting, you adopted the ear patch as well. It looks

154
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: silly on the TV, but it looks quite bulk as well.

155
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: So when Whippets doesn't stop talking, we wear ear patches

156
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: as well. Here in the studio. Sometimes that's different.

157
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: Dave. We love your work. Thank you so much for

158
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:29,840
