1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: Richard Arnold is in the United States of America. Good morning,

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Good morning, mind. What are we voting for this week?

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: Key week in politics here. Yeah, the government shutdown is

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: really starting to bite things, carooning towards the longest shutdown

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: in history, So watch out for that. Food benefits being

6
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: cut for millions of folks. While at airport's more and

7
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: more air traffic controllers are staying off work since they're

8
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: not being paid. That's delaying or canceling a lot of

9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: flights as well. Yeah, voting this Wednesday, your time sees

10
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: the first electoral test for Trump. It's the off ye

11
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: elections with governor's races in mostly left leaning states Virginia

12
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: and New Jersey, plus Becous, the New York mayor's race,

13
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: which has been getting a lot of attention, and the

14
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: fight over a ballot measure in California which would redraw

15
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: a number of seats here to favor the Dems in

16
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: the same way that the Republicans just did in Texas.

17
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,959
Speaker 1: So a lot of attempt at cheating going on. And

18
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: what's the vibe. Well, there are some new polls out

19
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: this day, as you will have seen, and the ABC

20
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: Washington Post Pole has over six in ten saying Trump

21
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: and the Republicans are out of touch. This pole blames

22
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: Trump for quote going too far in try to expand

23
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: the power of the presence. He's sixty four percent, so

24
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: that no time though for the Dems to tread water.

25
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: It's a pox on both their houses. Sixty eight percent

26
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: in this pole say the Democrats are out of touch.

27
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: So that's more than turned thumbs down on Trump at

28
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: sixty three percent and the Republican Party itself on negative

29
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: sixty one. So Obama is out campaigning in some of

30
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: the governor's races, and California's Governor Newsom, who seems to

31
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: have been prepping his own presential bid for months, months

32
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: and months now, is slamming Trump.

33
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 2: In every core category. He's underwater, and he's Ago who

34
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: promised to make us wealthier and healthier. We're poorer and sicker.

35
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 2: Across the board, people are starting to realize that not

36
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: only is our coffee more expensive, their beef is more expensive,

37
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 2: but the cost of an automobile is more expensive since

38
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: he became president, the cost of utilities, all the things

39
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 2: he promised to solve day one, he hasn't solved.

40
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: So those costs are a key. People here are just

41
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: getting their health insurance for renewals as well, and these are skyrocketing.

42
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: A friend of mine whose daughter has a serious ailment,

43
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: says his insurance now has an out of pocket potential

44
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: payout of almost get this, sixteen thousand dollars New Zealand

45
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: per year, while this woman says her basic insurance has sword.

46
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: This is more than quadri board and cost for me.

47
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: So it's just straight out there's no way I would

48
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: be able to afford this next year meantime, but shut down.

49
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: An NBC poll out today says forty two percent blame

50

Speaker 1: the Democrats for all, fifty two percent blame Trump and

51
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: the Republicans. Trump's Treasury Secretary, Scott Besstt was just pressed

52
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: about on when food ate for the poor will resume.

53
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: He was questioned by CNN's Jake Tapper about all of this.

54
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: It could be done by Wednesday, could be okay, could

55
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: be and five Democratic Senators could cross the aisle and

56
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: open the government by Wednesday.

57
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: You do it. No, you do it, The Democrats leader

58
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: in the House of Kim Jeffrey says, dip into emergency

59
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: funds and do so now. The Trump administration needs to

60
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: release these benefits. They have the funds for a contingency situation. Really,

61
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: people need to eat instead. Later from Camp Trump is

Speaker 1: has just redone his white House bathroom in white marble.

65
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,240

Speaker 1: the Dodgers slowly pulled back. Who knew what was going

76
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: to happen. The game was sent into extra innings and

00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: MVP pitcher Yamamoto was brought back after pitching the night before.

78
