1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Richard Arnold morning, what do you, Mike? So what we

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: got to the bottom of this? Is this an accident

3
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: or something else.

4
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 2: It's going to take a little while, but yeah. Toxic

5
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 2: fumes cobon monoxide is being initially considered a possible cause

6
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 2: of the death of the legendary two time Oscar winning

7
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: actor Gene Hackman. His wife Betsy had one of their

8
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 2: three dogs. The gas company has been called in NAOS.

9
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: Officials say investigations are ongoing. Gen Hackman was ninety five,

10
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: his wife was some thirty years younger. They were in

11
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: different rooms when their bodies were found. They had really

12
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: been seen in the last couple of decades after they

13
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 2: quit Hollywood and moved to saut A Faith. Yet it

14
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: would be hard to think of actors apart from Hackman

15
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: who appeit in so many well loved movies. He was

16
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: someone with a forty year career where he was nominated

17
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 2: for five Academy Awards and a host of other honors,

18
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 2: and won two Oscars for The French Connection and Unforgiven

19
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 2: but favored. Hackman performances would have to be linked to

20
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: the time you're thinking about right. One of his first

21
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: roles was Clyde's crazy brother in Body and Clyde wogle

22
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: Esels a Time Ooh. In earlier days, he had volunteered

23
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: for the Marine, saying he wanted some real life adventure.

24
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: When he returned to California, he did some plays with

25
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 2: a group in Pasadena, Pasadena, where he was friends with

26
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: few people except for Dustin Hoffman, who also was there

27
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: at the time. In some ways he seems to draw

28
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: from movie stars of the past, where they weren't models

29
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,639
Speaker 2: or young Celevswat drew from a wider background. In nineteen

30
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: seventy one, he appeared as detected Jimmy Doyle in The

31
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: French Connection, one of the most famous car scenes ever.

32
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: You would have to say he would.

33
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: Go right down the street without any crowd control and

34
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: it was really scary.

35
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. And an early film I remember is the conversation

36
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: about invasion of privacy. That film quite dramatic.

37
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,639
Speaker 1: One surefire rule that I have learned in this business

38
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: is that I don't know anything about human nature.

39
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about curiosity. But the gene happening.

40
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: Movie list goes on and on. He said he loved

41
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: doing this work. He played well a lot of bad guys,

42
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: like his role opposite Christopher Reeve in Superman Great Superman.

43
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: Hackman had fun with all this on screen and off.

44
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: He said, have little kids come up to you on

45
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: the street and say.

46
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: You're the evil guy, and it's kind of fun.

47
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: Even when he was playing the coach in Who'sias, there

48
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: was energy behind his rallying of the team. If you

49
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: put your effort and concentration and the plan to your

50
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 2: potential to be the best that you can be, I

51
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: don't care what the scoreboards says at the end of

52
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: the game. In my book, we're going to be winners.

53
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: Well Mississippi burning Royal ten inbounds, per sudden Adventure, and

54
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: on we go. There is so much to remember in

55
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: the work of Gene Hackman.

56
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: Indeed, so he's just arrived literally moments ago. Pressures on

57
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: him to deliver something on Ukraine.

58
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: I guess, I guess would be the underline. Right. The

59
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: meeting between Trump and Starma is ongoing without the arm wrestling.

60
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 2: As you mentioned, a handshake that was a part of

61
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: the American President's session earlier in the week with the

62
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: mccronan seems to be a statter for those two. The

63
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: mcrons session was marked by the French leader publicly correcting

64
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: Trump over his country's financial contribution to the defense of

65
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 2: Ukraine and the Russian invasion. Not clear that Starma will

66
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: get any further. Starma has an outid increase in British

67
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: defense spending, as we've been noting in recent days. Trump

68
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: has welcomed that, with the British cutting back there overseas development,

69
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 2: a justice Washington is doing at the urging of Elon Musk.

70
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: Of course, Stamer says the US should not make mistakes

71
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: with Putin by agreeing to a cease fire without any

72
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: measures for a longer term piece. But you wonder whether

73
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: Trump is interested in any of that. He appears already

74
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 2: to have floated US responses to most of the things

75
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: that the Russians want, So will any of that or

76
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: the meeting coming up with Ukraine Selensky later in the

77
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: week work to underpin the fading post war US European alliance.

78
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: Yes, tomorrow's you're going to be watching that with a

79
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: great deallement was thank you, Richard C You next week

80
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: the gold card deal, by the way, five million, one

81
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: of the most expensive in the world. But I think

82
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: it's going to go gangbusters. Interesting developments this morning. You

83
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: would not if you pay your five million, that's US.

84
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: And when you say five five minuses, you're not giving

85
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: it to Trump. You're investing in America, of course, but

86
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: you get the green card type operation anyway, you would

87
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: not be subject to taxes on your overseas income, which

88
00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: is interesting and is there interest in this?

89
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: You bet?

90
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: The risen Singapore interest has gone up two thousand, four

91
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy three percent due by twelve hundred and

92
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: forty percent, Japan fourteen hundred and fifteen, Candida eight hundred

93
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: and thirty percent, Germany four hundred and forty seven percent,

94
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: the UK, Indian and Australia a notable increases as well,

95
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: two hundred and three, one thirty eight and ninety percent respectively.

96
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:18,839
