1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: Mitch McCann is a US correspondent, Mitch, Joe Biden sending

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: the Harris campaign into not quite meltdown, but certainly into

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: damage control.

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, Good morning, Ryan. At this stage of

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 2: the campaign, it really isn't time to be making major

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 2: mistakes now. At that Trump rally here in New York,

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 2: which I attended on Sunday, the campaign received a huge

8
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 2: amount of backlash for the comedian who suggested that Porto

9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 2: Rico is a floating island of garbage. So in some

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: ways that's a win politically for the Democrats. However, Joe

11
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 2: Biden has managed to create what has become a bit

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: of a pr mess over here when responding to those

13
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 2: comments on a Zoom call last night. This is what

14
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: the current president had to say in response to suggestions

15
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: that Porto Rico is a floating island of garbage.

16
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 3: They're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see

17
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 3: floating out there is his supporters. His demonizational STIs I'm constable.

18
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, the only garbage I see out there are his supporters.

19
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: He's been criticized saying that the White House says he

20
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: was describing the racist language as garbage. Not Trump supporters,

21
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: and Kamala Harris has even distanced herself from those comments,

22
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: saying she disagrees with any criticism of people based on

23
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: who they vote for. Storming a teacup Ryan maybe, but

24
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: not helpful.

25
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: No, And I can remember the twenty sixteen election when

26
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton said this, and it was went down like

27
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: a cup of cold sick.

28
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: You could put half of Trump's supportors and doing what

29
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: I called the mass of Lauras.

30
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: You know.

31
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 3: It was.

32
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: It was funny to the supporters who were there, but

33
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: most Americans, particularly those swingers, felt that that was a

34
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: disgusting thing to say. So it'd be interesting to see

35
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: how this plays out. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has closed her

36
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: We'll not quite closed the campaign, but she's given her

37
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: closing address.

38
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. She took to the same stage in

39
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: Washington last night where Democrats say Donald Trump and cited

40
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: those riots on the Capitol in twenty twenty one. She

41
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: called it her closing address. Her campaign sees the crowd,

42
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: it was seven twenty five thousand people. She said on

43
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: day one, if elected, Donald Trump would walk into the

44
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: Oval office with an enemy's list. When elected, I will

45
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: walk in with a to do lit and Trump's campaign

46
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 2: has responded by say Kamala Harris is lying, name calling

47
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: and clinging to the past. And with six days to

48
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 2: go now, Ryan, the polls are extremely close. Trump and

49
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 2: Harris are making their final swing through the Swing States.

50
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: At the moment, she's visiting three today. Will He'll be

51
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 2: in two match.

52
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,040
