1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,759
Speaker 1: State side Center of the World rich and anold morning

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: good what he makes. Can you hear the clock ticking? Eh?

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 2: Oh? I hope. So final pictures and final polls being made,

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: and as you say, it's still a deadlock. There are

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 2: some surprises though. One is that with two days till

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: the official polling start, more than seventy five million Americans

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 2: already have cast their ballots, voting early and in huge,

8
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: huge numbers. That has led to what you were just

9
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 2: talking about, that surprising Iowa poll showing that Kamala Harris

10
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: has picked up support in Republican read Iowa to lead

11
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: Trump Donald Trump in a state he has worn twice before.

12
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: According to the state's leading newspaper, the Des Moines Register,

13
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: Harris leads by forty seven to forty four percent, however,

14
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: still within the margin of ra Trump calls this a

15
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 2: fake poll by an enemy, same Polly out he praised

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 2: a few months ago when he was up. So there

17
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: is still no clear indicator of The New York Times

18
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: Siena battleground poll show Pennsylvania remains even, and that Pennsylvania

19
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: number is one reason why Harris candle last minute trip

20
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: to Detroit last night to make it cameo appearance on

21
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: snel's Saturday Night Live comedy show. She did a brief

22
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 2: bit with Maya Rudolph, who plays Harris in the show's sketches.

23
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 2: As Rudolph looks through a dressing room window at the

24
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 2: real Kamala Harris, who equipped this advice to her alter ego,

25
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: I'm just.

26
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: Here to remind you you got this because you can

27
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: do something your opponent cannot do.

28
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: You can open doors, yeah, referring to the trouble Donald

29
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: Trump had the other day when he tried to get

30
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 2: into his rented gabbage trup to tract to score a

31
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: point against Joe Biden, but missed the door handle as

32
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 2: he tried to get him. Harris also made herself the

33
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:46,919
Speaker 2: butt of a joke with the comic I don't really

34
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: laugh like that, do I?

35
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: A little bit?

36
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: The top Republican commissioner on the Federal Communications Commission blasted

37
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: Harris's SNEL appearance as a quote blatant effort to evade

38
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: the government's equal time rule. Fair point you might think

39
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: as a sketch end of the two women stood signed

40
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: by side as Rudolph declared she was going to quote

41
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: vote for us in quote great said, Harris, any chance

42
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: you registered in Pennsylvania. Meantime, Donald Trump was having some

43
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: microphone trouble at a couple of rallies, including one in

44
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: Milwaukee where he threatened to quote knock people out, while

45
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: he also had my trouble in Michigan and called for

46
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 2: the contractor not to get paid. That's where he spoke

47
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: about shooting Republican Liz Cheney, just joking folks, and started

48
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: playing with his Mike stand in a way that, shall

49
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: we say some as sexually suggestive. More directly, he said this,

50
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: I didn't need this. I didn't need to be with

51
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: you today.

52
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: Actor a bit at a gorgeous beach in lots of places.

53
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: Trump then told of some unnamed person who he said

54
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 2: had praised him as the greatest ever.

55
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: They said, he's the greatest president that we've ever had.

56
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 2: I said, does that include George Washington and Abraham Lincoln? Yes, sir,

57
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: it does.

58
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: I said, That's okay.

59
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 2: I'll take it, and modest too. Harris, meanwhile, has been

60
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: bringing in the star power with John bon Jovi and

61
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: Alicia Keys at her latest events are so neck and

62
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: neck down to the wire.

63
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: And in the middle of all of this is Jerome

64
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: Powell and what he does.

65
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is possibly just as interesting whoever wins. The

66
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: Federal reserves expressing confidence at least in the short term.

67
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: With inflation continuing to cool, the Fed is indicating that

68
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 2: they are set to cut interest rates for second time

69
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: this year. Economists expect a quarter of a point rate

70
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: cut in December. That'll be a huge relief to most everybody,

71
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: especially ordinary folks. The Fed made its first half a

72
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: point cut back in September. You recall, once it does

73
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: settles over the presidential election, however, the Fed likely will

74
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: take another look at things. Some economists have been saying

75
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: the imposition of high tariffs on imported goods and mass

76
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: deportations of illegal immigrants could send inflation spiking again. Even

77
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: Elon Muskim Trump has said he would in charge of

78
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: a government efficiency commission sort of cost Cutters says that

79
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: process would quote necessarily involve some temporary hardship. So if

80
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: that's how it plays and you want to make some investment,

81
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: maybe early early next year it might be the window.

82
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: See your election day. I appreciated Richard Arnold State Side,

83
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: speaking of money investments, the betting markets Jail Partners there's

84
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: a move against Trump at the moment. Arizona still likely Trump,

85
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: Georgia likely Trump, Michigan's now a toss up, Nevada's leaning Trump,

86
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: which is not as good as likely, and it was likely,

87
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: North Carolina likely Trump, Pennsylvania leaning Trump, and Wisconsin a

88
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: toss up for Trump. The numbers, once you crunch them

89
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: all and run through all your algorithms and work out

90
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: the various scenarios, he still runs at about sixty two

91
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: to sixty three, which means he's got a two and

92
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: three chance of winning, as opposed to Cardwell Harris, who,

93
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: according to the market, has got a one in three

94
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: chance of winning.
