1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,439
Speaker 1: It is time to turn the page on the drama

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: and the conflict, the fear and division. It is time

3
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: for a new generation of leadership in America.

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: That's the message from Kamala Harris, who's just delivered her

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: closing presidential picture was a thirty minute address from the

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 2: same spot that Trump stood prior to the Capitol Rights

7
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 2: Jack Taymee was in the crowdeds with us. Now, hey Jack, Hey, Now,

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 2: she spent a lot of time talking about Trump. But

9
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: did she actually spend enough time talking about the things

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: that voters really care about, which is the economy and

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 2: the cost of living crisis.

12
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's what they say they care about, right,

13
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 3: But I think it's just impossible to have an election

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 3: with Donald Trump that isn't at least in some significant

15
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 3: way about Donald Trump. But yeah, looks at she kind

16
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 3: of split it into two parts. So she did the

17
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 3: first part focusing almost entirely on Trump, prosecuting Trump, talking

18
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 3: about how he kind of betrayed the American democracy. And

19
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 3: then in the second half she tried to lay that

20
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: layout an alternative vision again, you know, taking a few

21
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 3: points to attack him. But she you know, she laid

22
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 3: out various tax quits that she supported, and things to

23
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: make sure that insulin prices would remain low. Presumably things

24
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 3: that are you know, that her team think are important

25
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 3: to American voters. But yeah, like I say, it's kind

26
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: of hard to imagine that any election but Donald Trump

27
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 3: doesn't have some of the personal stuff involved.

28
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: Why was she delivering a closing address when there are

29
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: still a week to go in the campaign.

30
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 3: Well, I think because they're worried about momentum, that's my theory.

31
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 3: And you know, it was really interesting tonight, like that

32
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: the symbolism was everything. It wasn't really the message that mattered.

33
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 3: It was a symbolism. It was an amazing set, as

34
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 3: you say, right there at the ellipse, directly in front

35
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 3: of the White House, so anyone tuning in on television

36
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 3: would have seen Kamala Harris coming out, beautifully lit with

37
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 3: the White House directly behind her. You know, it was

38
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: that the classic quality that American political commentators always talk about,

39
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 3: you know, the effort to look presidential. Well, I don't

40
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 3: think anyone could deny that she looked presidential. But my

41
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 3: sense is that the Democrats are a little bit nervous

42
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 3: that they have been slipping the polls over the last

43
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 3: few weeks. They're trying to reclaim some momentum. But yeah,

44
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 3: it's hardly like this is. It might be her closing argument,

45
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 3: but it's not going to be her closing speech. The

46
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: elections a week away. She's going to be addressing crowds

47
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 3: every day right up until election day and presumably giving

48
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 3: the same message. But I think they really tried to

49
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: tried to seize a bit of momentum backetting.

50
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: Into the last week, but overshadowed by Biden's faux pad.

51
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: Do you reckon Biden was calling? Was he causing? Was

52
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: he calling Trump supporters garbage? Or was he actually calling

53
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: the guy the comedian garbage?

54
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: The way I just watched it without having read anything first,

55
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: the way I interpret it when I watched it was

56
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: that he was calling Trump supporters garbage. That's the way

57
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: I interpret it. So it seems crazy that they'll put

58
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 3: them put themselves in a position where he would say that.

59
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 3: That being said, I can't imagine there are any really

60
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: really die hard supporters have been planning on voting for

61
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 3: Trump right up till now, but were put off because

62
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: of the commit mobilizes them. The other day, mobilized no, no, no, no, no.

63
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: I think I think it's more likely there are some

64
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 3: marginal voters in Pennsylvania, potentially Puerto Rican, who might have

65
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 3: been dissuaded from voting for Trump. But I don't think

66
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 3: Trump's keenest supporters are going to be turning on them

67
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: over those comments, and Biden is unlikely to affect much

68
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: for that very same reason. Right Like it may.

69
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 4: Maybe the bearf you put Puerto Rican voters in Pennsylvania

70
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 4: who were a bit annoyed at Trump the other day

71
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 4: and are now a bit annoyed at Biden, But I

72
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 4: don't know, we're maybe stretching along vote maybe.

73
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: So Hey, Jack, thanks very much, really appreciate it. Jack

74
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: tame Q and a present to host of Saturday Mornings

75
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: on z BE. Probably the biggest problem is that Carmela

76
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: wanted everybody to be talking about Carmela. But now they're

77
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: talking instead, not about Carmela, but about Joe Biden, aren't they?

78
