1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,599 Speaker 1: Specific interest to us, this dreadful case of the keeping woman. 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: What can you tell us in California. 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is truly just such a distressing story, Mike. Sadly, 4 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 2: it appears to be simply a case of a wrong place, 5 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 2: wrong time. The sixty nine year old woman was simply 6 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,959 Speaker 2: standing outside a bookstore with her husband in Newport, California, 7 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 2: when she was approached by at least three armed men 8 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 2: who robbed her. They then ran over her in their 9 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 2: getaway car, all while opening fire on bystanders. It is 10 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 2: just a shocking, shocking act. It all happened, you know, 11 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 2: only a matter of minutes. It happened in broad daylight 12 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 2: around three point thirty pm this attack occurred. Police say. 13 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 2: The suspects continued to fire their weapons as they drove away. 14 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 2: The attack initiated a police pursuit where speeds reached nearly 15 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty kilometers an hour. Finally, those men 16 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 2: were arrested. I do want to point out, Mike that 17 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 2: authorities keep insisting this type of thing doesn't happen in 18 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 2: places like Newport, California, But the fact is we are 19 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 2: hearing more and more of these awful armed robbery type 20 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 2: crimes happening right out of the country. Certainly California appears 21 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 2: to be a hot spot for this sort of crime. 22 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 2: And really, this is just an awful incident that sadly 23 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 2: has claimed the life of this New Zealand woman. 24 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: Exactly. I'm hearing a lot of ed reports about Los 25 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: Angeles these days, Washington, Biden, how much pressure. 26 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 2: Yes, we're talking of bad reports. The news is just 27 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 2: getting worse and worse for the Democrats and Joe Biden 28 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 2: in particular. Of course, we've had so much talk about 29 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 2: that disastrous debate against Donald Trump, but things now finally 30 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 2: seem to be getting serious. Texas Representative Lloyd Doggett has 31 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 2: become the first Democrat to break ranks and publicly call 32 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 2: for Biden to step aside. And this comes after with 33 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 2: her just NonStop persistent rumors of panic amongst the Democrats, 34 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: talk of private meetings between high ranking party members all 35 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: desperate to work out what to do about their Biden problem. 36 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 2: We have just heard today that part of their renewed 37 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: effort to calm the public is that Biden has agreed 38 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 2: to an interview with ABC News tomorrow night. To be honest, Mike, 39 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 2: it's hard to see what that's going to do. At 40 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 2: this point. He's also set Yeah, he's also set to 41 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: meet Democratic governors in Washington next week in person. They 42 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 2: have demanded an in person meeting. But this is all 43 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: happening is We've got new polls out today showing Donald 44 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 2: Trump taking a three point edge over Biden in battleground states, 45 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 2: a two point edge nationally. That's not actually a huge 46 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 2: shift in terms of the numbers, But what is interesting 47 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 2: is that we're now hearing from that poll that Democrat 48 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: voters feel less motivated to actually go out and vote 49 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 2: as a result of Biden's disastrous debate, And of course 50 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 2: voting is not compulsory thing it so that is a 51 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 2: massive problem for the Democrats and as at this stage, 52 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 2: it's just really hard to see this ending well for 53 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 2: Biden or the party. 54 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: Well one a's a pleasure, Catherine, ketchup next week.
