1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: Mitch mccannon doing the business in the States. Mitch, how

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: are you?

3
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 2: I'm well, Mike, how are you?

4
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: I'm very well. Indeed, where are you?

5
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 2: I am in New York, New York, the Empire State

6
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 2: right now.

7
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: Fantastic And is the ReVibe on the street if I

8
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: go down, you know, the Upper East side of people

9
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: talking about it? Are they fizziting? Are they excited about

10
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: all this or not yet?

11
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 2: I think from a lot of Americans that I speak to,

12
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: they are concerned and they are anxious at which way

13
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: this is going to go. Some American friends really don't

14
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: want to talk about it, but it's kind of the

15
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: elephant in the room right now with only twelve days away.

16
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: Okay, so we've got a couple of poles out this morning.

17
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: We've got the WSJ one and we've got the CNBC one.

18
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: There's a theme here in Trump's winning.

19
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. These are significant because if these are

20
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: the first poles in the last couple of weeks where

21
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 2: Donald Trump has edged ahead by a couple of points.

22
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: So if we look at the Wall Street Journal one,

23
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: Trump is ahead forty eight to forty six against Kamala Harris.

24
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: When the Wall Street Journal last conducted this poll in August,

25
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: it was Harris who was ahead by two points. And

26
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: the journal kind of has this theory as to why

27
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is taking over. They believe that has negative

28
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 2: ad campaigns, which, by the way, everywhere are working, and

29
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: they possibly believe because of all the media appearances she's

30
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: doing there having a couple of shaky interview answers. I

31
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 2: know last night she was on CNN as part of

32
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: this town hall David Axelrod, who is of course Obama's

33
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: former campaign manager. He described one of her answers as

34
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: a word salad. And this is one of the themes

35
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: that's kind of coming out from all these interviews she's

36
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 2: trying to do at the moment. So at the moment

37
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: in some of these polls, Trump is ahead, but as

38
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: you know, Mike, national polls don't really matter. It comes

39
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 2: down to the battleground states where they are pretty much tied.

40
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 2: I know that Harris is a hid in around four

41
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: battleground states, maybe Trump bo three, but they are all

42
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: within the margin of era.

43
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: I think the problem they got much. I don't know

44
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: if you saw the scene anything yesterday, but I did.

45
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: It's the more you see of her, the more troubled

46
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: you become. Some guy stands up in the audience and

47
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: he literally asked them the price of groceries too, Hi,

48
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: what are you going to do about it? First of all,

49
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: she didn't answer it. She moved on to property development.

50
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: Then she moved on to storm damage, and it took

51
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: minute after minute after minute, and at no point did

52
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: she say, I'll tell you one. And that's her problem.

53
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: She doesn't say anything.

54
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think she has an issue with trying to

55
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 2: do so many interviews so people know her get to

56
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: know her better, which is a problem for her. But then,

57
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: as you say, the more she does, the more she

58
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: might get tangled in some of these answers and people

59
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: get sick to see more of what they don't like.

60
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: But Rist assured Mike for those Kamala Harris fans, she's

61
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 2: rolling out the big guns in the next couple of days.

62
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 2: She's holding a rally today with Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen,

63
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: who has endorsed her, and then tomorrow it's reported she's

64
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: going to rally with Beyonce Noles who might be singing

65
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: we don't know, and Willie Nelson and Houston. So the

66
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 2: Alst's lives coming out for kamala ah.

67
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: I love it. Now, what person in their right mind

68
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: turns down thirty five percent.

69
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a lot of money, but they want forty percent.

70
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: This is in relation to boeen who, as we know,

71
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 2: it's been a disastrous well, it's been a disastrous year,

72
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 2: not just a couple of years. In January, of course,

73
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 2: a piece of fu uselage blew out of an Alaskan

74
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: Airlines flight Mike, and then a plane had to turn

75
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: around and land in Japan after a crack was found

76
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: in the cockpit window. Sheer price has taken a hit

77
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: at CEO is left and Boeing workers have been on

78
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: strike since the thirteenth of September here in the US,

79
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: demanding higher wages and better benefits. Now, hours after the

80
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 2: company announced a six point one billion dollar loss, union workers,

81
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 2: more than thirty thousand of them, have rejected this pay

82
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: increase of more than thirty five percent. So it's back

83
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: to the drawing board for Boeing. As well as that loss,

84
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 2: it looks like they're going to have to fork out

85
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: a lot of money for these wages. When they finally

86
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: come to an agreement.

87
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: You go, well make good to catch uppreciate it, Mitch,

88
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: we can in New York the real telltale sign yesterday

89
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: out of that town hall because it was on CNN.

90
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: They had one of those massive CNN panels that only

91
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: CNN can do with about eight hundred and three people

92
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: on board. Is even they and they love Harris more

93
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: than any other network. Even they had to admit that

94
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: what she was saying made literally no sense half the time.

95
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: And then you're going to ask the question, if you

96
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: turn up with Bruce Springsteen and Beyonce and Willie Nelson

97
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: as much as you love their music and we do,

98
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: does that make you vote for it? What does that

99
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: make you look? Desperate?
