1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Which McCann stateside, how are you, I'm good, Mike, how

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: are you? Humbrey? Well, indeed, so Trump Harris on whatever

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: it was, ABC, CBS, NBC. So we're not doing that,

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: but we might be doing something on Fox. Do we

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: know where we're at?

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Kamala Harris isn't keen to do that. We

7
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: know how consequential. The first debate was Mike between Joe

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 2: Biden and Donald Trump pretty much ended Joe Biden's campaign.

9
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 2: But perhaps Trump realizes how much of an impact a

10
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: bad performance can have. He and Kamala Harris, or originally

11
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 2: Joe Biden, were meant to have a second debate on

12
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 2: the tenth of September on ABC News.

13
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 3: But Kamala Harris, she's a Democratic.

14
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: Nominee, she wants to do that, but Donald Trump says no,

15
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 2: it's going to be on.

16
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 3: Fox a week earlier.

17
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: So he posted on social media, I won't see Kamala

18
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: Harris on September.

19
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 3: I'll see her on September four, or I won't see

20
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 3: her at all.

21
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 2: In Kamala Harris's hit back, saying it's interesting how any

22
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: time any place becomes one specific time, one specific place.

23
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: So what's it actually matter. I mean, are the rules

24
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: different on Fox than they were on ABC or we

25
00:00:59,120 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: don't know that either.

26
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: Well, I think Donald Trump feels that he's going to

27
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: get a more friendly audience on Fox News, and Kamala

28
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: Harris perhaps wants to stay to the original date. I

29
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: don't think there's going to be any debate at the

30
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: stage because it's unlikely that Harris is going to agree

31
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: to go on Fox.

32
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: Okay, So then we come to the VP wishers. So

33
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 1: she's meeting spar as I can work out she's meeting

34
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 1: three of the five. What about the four and five?

35
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: And where do we know where she's at.

36
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: Well, there's the three favorites that we know of, so

37
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: that's Joshapiro, Tim Waltz, and Mark Kelly from Arizona, the

38
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: senator there. It's reported that she's interviewing those three in

39
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: Washington today, but she's speaking to others on the phone

40
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: from that wider group of twelve.

41
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: It's also reported by.

42
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: The VBC that these candidates have had to answer up

43
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: to two hundred quest of the questions, some of them

44
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: very personal, whether or not they can be eligible for

45
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: the vice presidency. So she's likely to name that person tomorrow,

46
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: and they got that campaigning on Tuesday together in Philadelphia.

47
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: What's the sense of the quality of the fields of

48
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: the fireble the three hot favorites, is any one of

49
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: them more than acceptable?

50
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 3: Well?

51
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: I think the favorite at this stage is Jos Shapiro

52
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: from Pennsylvania, and there is really one reason for that,

53
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: and that's because Pennsylvania holds a lot of electoral College seats.

54
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: He is very popular there.

55
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: A recent poll showed around sixty three percent people in

56
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 2: Pennsylvania had a favorable view of him, and it's widely

57
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 2: viewed that the Democrats will need to win that state

58
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: to win the election.

59
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 3: So he's the favorite at the moment. This VP peck

60
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 3: has been.

61
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: In part chosen or looked at by Eric Holder, the

62
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: former Attorney General, has law firm has been charged with

63
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 2: vitting these candidates.

64
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: So it's going to be interesting to see.

65
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: But Tim Waltz is another one kind of a lesser

66
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 2: other candidate Mike from Minnesota. It's reported that many Democrats

67
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: are in favor of him, including Nancy Pelosi, and that

68
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: Joe Biden also has a favorable view of him as well.

69
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: So it'll be interesting.

70
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: What is the vibe on Iran. Are they going to

71
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: telegraph this? We don't know when are they coming, what

72
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: do they do?

73
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: Well?

74
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: We know how the serious the US is taking it.

75
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 2: One of their National security advisors was on AB this

76
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: morning and he said they're preparing for every possibility. The

77
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: US is now sending combat aircraft and missile shooting warships,

78
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: one squadron off, twenty two fighter jets, and an unspecified

79
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 2: number of Navy cruisers and destroyers. So I think that

80
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: gives you an indication of how concerned the US are

81
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: about tensions in that region.

82
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this much, having been there a while.

83
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: You're in New York here, does it feel like the

84
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: third most expensive city in the world.

85
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: It does when it comes to rent. Mic It's interesting.

86
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: I think food's a lot cheaper here, but rent is astronomical,

87
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: particularly in Manhattan.

88
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: Oh, come on, good to catch up we see on Wednesday.

89
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: Appreciate it, Mitch mccannon. The reason I raise that is

90
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: the annual look Who's the most expensive place in the

91
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: world to live surveys come out, so they take the

92
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: cost of living rent, the afore mentioned groceries, restaurant prices,

93
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: and local purchasing power, and seven of the ten most

94
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: expensive cities in the world are in America. So we'll

95
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: go ten through one, because that's always more fun, isn't it.

96
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: Ten Chicago, nine Los Angeles, eight Seattle. Who would have thought?

97
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: Seven Washington six Recuvek. I've talked about Iceland before a

98
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: void it like the plague. Five Boston for San Francisco,

99
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: and you've got to live in San Francisco. So not

100
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: only do you have to live in San Francisco, it's

101
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: expensive to be miserable. Three New York two Zurich, one Geneva.

102
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: Would you have said that about American For more from
