1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: Dan Mitchison, Welcome to the program. 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 2: Hello Andrew. 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: So it's the big story around the worlds. What's the 4 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: reaction in the States to King Child stripping Andrew of 5 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: his prince. 6 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 2: Well, I think it's it's for royalists over here. I 7 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 2: think it's a little bit of a surprise. Others may 8 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 2: say not so much. The family has has been reacting, 9 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 2: of course, for the family, I'm talking about Virginia Jiuffrey 10 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 2: who accused the prince of sexually abusing her, and they 11 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 2: released a statement they're calling this a victory and they said, 12 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 2: you know, this is an ordinary American girl from an 13 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 2: ordinary American family brought down a British prince with her 14 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 2: truth and an extraordinary courage. But I think they're going 15 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 2: to continue to go after as you just mentioned in 16 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 2: the World Wires, now that the fact that he's still 17 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 2: going to have accommodation and he's still going to get 18 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 2: a salary that you know, I think they still want 19 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: more accountability held. 20 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: True, true, But that salary and that accommodation is provided 21 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: on the grace of the king and not from text payer. Yes, 22 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: so that's the thing. I heard some talk that now 23 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: that he is no longer a prince, there'll be even 24 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: more pressure to get him over to testify to your 25 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: politicians about Epstein. 26 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: I think there will be. I mean that that that 27 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 2: could be dragged out for years though, I mean, you know, 28 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 2: back and forth as this continues to go down, and 29 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 2: we'll see if any more accusations come out as well. 30 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 2: You know, it seems like they try to bury this 31 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 2: and then there's something new that came out. And I think, 32 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: you know, that was the hope that, you know, when 33 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,279 Speaker 2: the Queen took care of this when she was still alive, 34 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 2: that this might kind of go away. But it didn't, 35 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 2: did it. I mean, the book came out, and the 36 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 2: King has taken some you know, what some might say 37 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 2: are extraordinary measures for this to to you know, to 38 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 2: give it more transparency. 39 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: Exactly now to your King, well, you know, to yours, 40 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: your president Donald Trump. What was he really saying when 41 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: he talked about resuming nuclear testing, Because as I understand it, 42 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: that's an enormously complicated and extremely expensive and dangerous measure 43 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: to take. But what was he actually trying to do? 44 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 2: Well, I think that's what everybody's trying to read between 45 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: the lines right now, because this kind of came out 46 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: at left field. It started just minutes before he met 47 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 2: with the China's president and he posted on a social 48 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 2: media site that he had instructed the Department of War 49 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 2: to start testing are nuclear weapons on an equal basis. 50 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 2: Vice President ja d Vance got into this. He was 51 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 2: asked a few hours ago about what the President meant, 52 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 2: and he said, you know, I mean, he's going to 53 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 2: repeat what the President said. That basically said the media 54 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 2: post speaks for itself. The news outlets have been going 55 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 2: over to the White House trying to say, Okay, what 56 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 2: exactly does this mean? And the White House is only 57 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: saying that it was quote potentially the case that the 58 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 2: President was referring to testing that fits within the current norms, 59 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 2: because they said this, you know, you have to test 60 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 2: these things sometimes, you got to make sure they're functioning, 61 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 2: they're working properly. 62 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, but the only country that's been doing recently has 63 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: been North Korea. Everybody else are actually trusting their models 64 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: and trusting their systems and trusting the research that they've 65 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: already done. Because the letting off of any nuclear weapon, 66 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: presumably underground because you know, in the year, would not 67 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: actually cut it. Any of that sort of thing. It 68 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: doesn't actually prove anything, and it would actually bring you 69 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: down to the level of North Korea. 70 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: Well, it would, it would, And that's why I think 71 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: that that maybe, as we know, the President tends to 72 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: speak first sometimes and you know, think after he has spoken, 73 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: So maybe this was one of those occasions where he 74 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 2: just happened to be a little overeager and the White 75 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: House will kind of be backing off on some of 76 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 2: those comments, or at least trying to do some spin 77 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 2: controller spin damage control in the in the coming days now. 78 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: IICE I US have been asked to suspend immigration enforcement 79 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: actions for Halloween. 80 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 2: Yes, which is already today for you guys, and it's 81 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 2: tomorrow for US, and he has requested that Homeland Security 82 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 2: officials kind of back off on this starting tomorrow through Sunday. 83 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: They want to allow children to participate in Halloween activities safely. 84 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 2: And we're seeing a lot of obviously Hispanics and Mexicans 85 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 2: who have backed away from public celebrations or meetings because 86 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 2: of fear over these ice raids over here. There have 87 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 2: been a number of days like the Day of the 88 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: Dead celebration that's coming up, that's a big holiday in 89 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 2: that country. And celebrated quite a bit over here in 90 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 2: the US that are being modified because of concerns about 91 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 2: these raids. And Chicago's been a big battleground and it's 92 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 2: been a big part of a debate over immigration enforcement. 93 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: And Dana and I thank you so much.
