1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Barry Sober, senior political correspondence with US NOW. Barry, Hello,

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: good afternoon, Heather. So I gave a pracee just before

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,319
Speaker 1: of why you think Kamala Harris is going to win,

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: which is just you got the vibes.

5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 2: No, no, it's not. It's look if you can vote,

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 2: if you're a human being. And you look at two

7
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 2: people at the podium. One spends forty minutes winding up

8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 2: music to dance like a board to and particularly YMCA,

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: which is a gay national anthem, and he thinks it's

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 2: the one of the best songs that he's ever heard

11
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 2: and pokes his fingers in the air. And this man

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 2: wants to be the president of the United States again.

13
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, it's your argument.

14
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: I don't get it.

15
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: Well, I just think, are you saying.

16
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: Nobody could possibly vote him in as president?

17
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: Well, see, I never understood. I've got to say the

18
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: first time why he was voted in. And I just

19
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: can't understand having watched it all today. Kamala Harris's final

20
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: speech speech today, it was the significance of where she

21
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 2: gave it. I think that she delivered a speech that

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: reminded her of her audience of the end of the

23
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: Trump presidency.

24
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: Listen, we know who Donald Trump is.

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 3: He is the person who stood at this very spot

26
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: nearly four years ago and sent an armed mob to

27
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 3: the United States Capital to overturn the will of the

28
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 3: people in a free and fair election, an election that.

29
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 1: He knew he lost.

30
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 3: Americans died as a result of that attack, And while

31
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 3: Donald Trump sat in the White House watching, he was

32
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 3: told by his staff that the mob wanted to kill

33
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: his own vice president, and Donald Trump responded with two words,

34
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 3: So what, America, that's who Donald Trump is.

35
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: Well, and it's true. I mean they said that they

36
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: wanted to hang Mike pens and Trump was told that

37
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: by his staff. I went back to check it out,

38
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: and look, the man is, to me unbelievable as a

39
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 2: candidate for the United States presidency. Of course, you played

40
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: that clip earlier on of him saying that he wanted

41
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: the death penalty for all immigrants who killed any Americans. Well,

42
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: for his knowledge, many of the millions of Porto Ricans,

43
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 2: for example, who have now gone to the United States,

44
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 2: they are American citizens. So I don't know what he's

45
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: talking about.

46
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: He's not having a crackit. I don't want to be

47
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: defending the guy, but he's not having a crackt perto Ricans.

48
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: The comedian had a cracked Porto Ricans is a.

49
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: Chap called Tony Hunchcliffe's. Trump hasn't denied it, they were

50
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: apologize for it. He used crass language, joking that Latinos

51
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: love making babies and then went on to make that

52
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: remark that sparked the immigration turmoil.

53
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 4: It is absolutely wild times, it really really is. And

54
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 4: you know, there's a lot going on. Like I don't

55
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 4: know if you guys know this, but there's literally a

56
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 4: floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean

57
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 4: right now. Yeah, I think it's called Puerto Rico.

58
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. And the thing is that the Puerto Rico is

59
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: a protected protectorate of the United States. All its citizens

60
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: are American citizens, and you know, for Trump not to

61
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: distance himself from that, to me is sort of unbelievable.

62
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: So you think that he's not going to be president

63
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 1: because no one could possibly elect this man. Well, yeah,

64
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: but look, I know.

65
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: You're going to say that, And I just wonder where

66
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: Americans heads are at when they look at it a

67
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: man like Donald Trump and say that he's a serious individual.

68
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: I mean you have to be joking a remember rocket

69
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: man from North Korea. You know, he had us on

70
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: the brink of nuclear destruction. Then with Kim Jong On

71
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: threatening to fire missiles. I mean, this man, I think

72
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 2: is an absolute danger.

73
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: To the world. You've got to protect your heart.

74
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 2: If I was an American would be most concerned that

75
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 2: this man is even standing.

76
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: Again, should Candice Owens be allowed into the country or not? Ah?

77
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 2: Yes, I believe so. And it's the old story. I mean,

78
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: if New Zealanders don't want to engage with owns, don't

79
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: turn up to see her, I mean, I don't care

80
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: what she's got to say. She can say what she likes.

81
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: I mean, she has questioned ridiculous things. I mean, she's

82
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 2: as bad as a former incumbent that we've been talking

83
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 2: about in the White House. She questioned, criticizes feminism, she

84
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 2: criticizes the Black Lives Matter movement and trans people. So

85
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: what I mean, that's that's her entitlement. She's not running

86
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: for office though, she's simply giving her views. I'm going

87
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 2: to tell you what. She's got a lot of followers.

88
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 2: She's got two point eight million subscribers to her YouTube channel,

89
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 2: and that's got over nine hundred videos that have been

90
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 2: viewed viewed three hundred and forty nine million times, so

91
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: she's got a following out there. I don't think i'd

92
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: go along to listen to her, but you know, if

93
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: people want to pay fifteen hundred dollars a table, let

94
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 2: them do it.

95
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,400
