1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Stateside, Richard Morning mording Mic I'm ready are you?

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 2: I don't know, but ready or not? This might be

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 2: the critical moment in the seemingly endless presidential campaign. Here

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 2: is the two contenders come Ala Harrison Donald Trump face

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 2: off in a few hours. Here the big debate. They

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 2: have never been in the same room before. Now they

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: will be standing what only meters apart in a tiny

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: space in Philadelphia for their first and likely only debate.

9
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: Encountered.

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: The polls much as they were at the start of

11
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 2: the week when we spoke. Trump is up by a

12
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 2: couple of points in Arizona and Florida. Harrison Trump attired

13
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: in Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina. Harris is up by

14
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: three points in Michigan. Also in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. So

15
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: those last three are what is sometimes called the blue wall.

16
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: If Democrats can win these states and always all these poles,

17
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 2: of course, are within the margin of error. So this

18
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 2: debate in a few hours is critical. It is ninety minutes.

19
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: There will be no audience. Mike's are on only when

20
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: the candidate questioned is speaking, Otherwise they muted. Only the

21
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: moderators can ask questions. There will be no opening state monce.

22
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: Trump won the coin toss, so he gets to speak last.

23
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,279
Speaker 2: So Trump says he has not been preparing for the debate,

24
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 2: But yes, he has been doing debate prep. Just I

25
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: don't call it that, folks. One interesting dynamic is how

26
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: Trump deals with a woman. He debated Hillary Couldn't Course

27
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. Here is a brief moment from that.

28
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 3: She doesn't of the look she doesn't have the stamina.

29
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: I said, she doesn't have the stamina, and I don't

30
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 3: believe she does have the stamina. Believe me, she has

31
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: tremendous hate in her heart.

32
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 2: Poor little females right, don't have the stamina, and boyd

33
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: I don't have the law, says Trump. Well, how will

34
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: that play at a time of growing gender gap? Here

35
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: here is Harris's take on Trump right now. There is

36
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 2: no floor for him in terms of.

37
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: How low he will go, and we should be prepared

38
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: for that.

39
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 3: We should be prepared for the fact that he is

40
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,279
Speaker 3: not burdened by telling the truth.

41
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: Republicans arranged a Capitol Hill memorial today for the thirty

42
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: US troops who were killed in that suicide bombing that

43
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: hit the Trouble departure from Afghanistan three years ago, so

44
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: is the politics in the time of this event, three

45
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: years on to the day. Harris is bringing two former

46
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 2: Trump officials as debate guests for the Spin Room later tonight.

47
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: One is Anthony Scaramucci, who served for ten days coundam

48
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: as Trump's communications chief, About as long as an expired

49
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: ham sandwich, says a Trump Aid. Now. Other former Trump officials,

52
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: appear in Democratic campaign commercials now meantime, Trump said this

53
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: bit of complete nonsense at his last rally.

54
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 3: Tarmelers support states being able to take minor children and

55
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: perform sex change operation, take them away from their parents,

56
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 3: perform sex change operation, and send them back home. Can

57
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 3: you imagine you're a parent and your son leaves the

58
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 3: house and you say, Jimmy, I love you so much,

59
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: go have a good day in school, and your son

60
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 3: comes back with a.

61
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: Brutal operation rubbish, of course, But then the Internet never lies.

62
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: Right ah, for God's sake. Then we get to Nevada,

63
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: where the Murdoch story is going to be fascinating. To

64
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: see how this plays out.

65
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 2: Well, it's succession the sequel, isn't it you thought? The

66
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: saga of azillionaire's kids fighting furiously to control the media

67
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: empire when he's dead is done with the end of

68
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 2: the HBO mini series Sink Again, Folks in Nevada. Today,

69
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: a court case begins where ninety three year old Rupert

70
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: Murdock I still kick in trying to overturn a long

71
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: standing family trust, which was put in place when Rupert

72
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: split from his second wife Anna. The idea what these

73
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: children would have equal shares in the Murdoch empire. Latterly, though,

74
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: Murdoch has favored his right leaning son Lachlan and stepped

75
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: aside to give him a sway a Fox News, Wall

76
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: Street Journal, New York Post and so on. Now, three

77
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: other Murdoch offspring, James, Elizabeth, and Prudence, are suing to

78
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: prevent a move to quash the original family trust. Rupert

79
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: arguing that only Lachlan can maintain his empire's commercial all value.

80
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: He's trying to keep the legal proceedings under ramps, but

81
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: outlets including The New York Times, Washington Post, AP Reuter's

82
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: are demanding access to the hearings over the thirty two

83
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: billion dollar in New Zealand Murdock Empire. Meantime, horror of

84
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: horrors for Rupert and his fifth wife, for Elayner Zakova

85
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: or whatever her name is. But his son James has

86
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: just endorsed Kamala Harris.

87
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: Oh no, all right, mate, we'll see you Friday. Appreciate

88
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: it very much, Richard unlouded states RFK. I thought this

89
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: was sorted, but it wasn't. I told you that he

90
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: was stuck on the ballot in various swing states after

91
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: withdrawing in supporting Trump. So I thought he was stuck

92
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: because they couldn't do anything about it apart from go

93
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: to court. They went to court and they won, and

94
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: so then he was off the ballot. But then the

95
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: people in Michigan decided they needed to go to court again,

96
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: so they went to the Supreme Court and the Supreme

97
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: Court rule five to two, overturning the appeals court decision

98
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: that had removed him. And the Secretary of State got

99
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: involved in this, So anyway, he's back on. So we'll

100
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,799
Speaker 1: keep you post for more from the Mic Asking Breakfast.
