00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Dan Mitchinson, US correspondent with US Now. Hello Dan, Hi

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Heather Well, oh, mate from the Secret Service didn't last

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: very long after saying that she was going to stick

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:08,319
Speaker 1: it in the job.

5
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 2: Noh, Kimberly Cheetle. I thought she was actually gonna kind

6
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 2: of hang around for a little bit longer, to tell

7
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 2: you the truth. She resigned today in the aftermath of

8
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 2: that assassination attempting on former President Trump, and she said

9
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: she takes full responsibility for the security lapse. She sent

10
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: out an email to everybody. She said, in light of

11
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: what happened in recent events, I've made this difficult decision

12
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: to step down as your director, when only days ago

13
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 2: she said I'm not. And the minute you have somebody

14
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: in a position like hers that says I'm not going anywhere,

15
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: I'm not stepping down, you know that they're going to

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: get the sack or they're going to resign within forty

17
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 2: eight or seventy two hours, don't you.

18
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. It's the thing that they say until they

19
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: finally resigned. But does this actually solve the problems? And

20
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: they got the scalp that they wanted, but the problem

21
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: is obviously still. I mean, they're still understaffed.

22
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it is, and this is in the last

23
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: that we've heard from her or about the situation. I mean,

24
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: you've got lawmakers on both sides of the isle, Republicans

25
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: and Democrats, who have promised more investigations because you know,

26
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: that's what they love to do, and the Inspector General

27
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: probe and an independent bipartisan effort that's been launched by

28
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 2: President Biden that's going to keep the agency, I think,

29
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: in the spotlight, especially now that you've got Kamala Harrison

30
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: the race and that you've got the election coming up

31
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: in November. Right now, with these two candidates criss crossing

32
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: the country, you know, at a record pace.

33
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dennison, I don't think that bump in the poll

34
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: is enough for Kamala Harris.

35
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 2: You know, it's not what's interesting. I mean, like you

36
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 2: said it was in World wires, it was a two

37
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: percent bump. What is interesting, though, I think, is the

38
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: fact that Donald Trump didn't get a bigger bump coming

39
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: out of the Republican election. And what's even more impressive

40
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: is the fact that Kamala Harris has been able to

41
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: raise one hundred million dollars in twenty four hours I mean,

42
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: that's an unprecedented heather amount of money for her campaign

43
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: after Joe Biden said that he was stepping down. So

44
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: if I was the Trump campaign, that's what I would

45
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: be worried about, because the money is going to be,

46
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: you know, used obviously to make her more visible and

47
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: get her message out there, and that's what it's all about.

48
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: You. Yeah, look, I think I mean, the money is

49
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: obviously really impressive. I suspect though, that it reflects just

50
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: you know, that that relief that they're feeling over Biden

51
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: being gone. But that bump in the poll is not enough,

52
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: right because she needs she needs a two point lead

53
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: just to be within the chance of winning. So this

54
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: is basically level pegging with him. She needs much more

55
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: than that. And if that's all that she's going to

56
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: get from the honeymoon period that she's in right now,

57
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: that's not enough.

58
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 2: No, No, you're right, I mean, that's that's that's a

59
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: perfect analogy to say. Right now, I mean, she needs

60
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: to be seven, eight nine points ahead of value Trump

61
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: in this thing, and we need to see this not

62
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: just today or tomorrow. We need to see if this

63
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 2: the momentum is going to continue a month from now

64
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: at campaigning.

65
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: So when she shows out and starts her word salads

66
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: and everybody goes, oh, geez, she's not as cool as

67
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: we thought, she is just going to go down.

68
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right again. I think it's something I think

69
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: we try to project on people that we don't know

70
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: a lot about, And when you're the vice president, you

71
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: know a little bit about them, but you don't know

72
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 2: a lot. And the more she speaks, the more we're

73
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: going to learn. And that's going to be what decides

74
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 2: whether or not she's in this for the long haul

75
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: and she has a chance against Trump.

76
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: Hey, listen, what's the deal with the reusable cups in California?

77
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: I don't Well, you know, it's starting in a city

78
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: that's between San Francisco and Santa Rosa, a place called Pedaluma,

79
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: and they're kicking this off in about two weeks. It's

80
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 2: going to run for several months. And these cups are

81
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 2: purple apparently, so everybody can see them, and you're going

82
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 2: to be served beverages in them, hot or cold, and

83
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: when you're done with your cup, you just return them

84
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: to any return bin around town. And if you don't

85
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: know where they are, you can go on a website

86
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: and the cups are going to be professionally washed and sanitized,

87
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: and then they're going to be put back into use.

88
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 2: And businesses are hoping that this is going to cut

89
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: down on a lot of the waste. I mean, we

90
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: throw away something like fifty billion paper coffee cups every

91
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: year here in the US, and maybe that will help

92
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: save these places money. The question is, would you use

93
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: a cup that somebody else's lips have already been on,

94
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: even if you're told it's been clean and it's smart.

95
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: Talking about you do that every time you go into

96
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: a restaurant to drink glass glass of.

97
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: Water, I use a straw.

98
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: What what?

99
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: I use a straw? Why am I? Well? That way

100
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: and my lips don't have to touch the glass or

101
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: the cup.

102
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 1: What about when you have a beer in a pub?

103
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 2: I don't.

104
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: You don't have a beer in a pub because for

105
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: the same reason.

106
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: Well, I'm more of a teetotaler there. I just don't

107
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: like the taste of beer, to tell you the truth.

108
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: But you know it all joined and you have a

109
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: cup of tea.

110
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: I okay, you got me there, all right? I do

111
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 2: I do, I do use these But the fact is

112
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: I just don't think about it, Die, I don't think

113
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: about it that much, and I think I'd be okay

114
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: using these cups. But the question is will the general

115
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: public be okay using these cups?

116
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: Dan, You're always a fascinating man. I really appreciate it
