1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Richard Arnold, morning to you. What anyway, fresh after the

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: label weekend, ready to go? You got some numbers for us? Yeah,

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: I want to look in some of the details. Of course,

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,159
Speaker 1: Labor Day over here is the holiday that signals the

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: end of the northern Some of this is the point

6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: where US presidential campaigns typically reached the realm where they

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: wind up on election Day. Here's how Politiico, the political website,

8
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: puts it today. This campaign is like a knife fight

9
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: in a phone booth. Didn't know we had phone booths anymore,

10
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: but that's that's the idea. It's a toss up. Kamala

11
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: Harris didn't get much of a post convention bounce, did she. Instead,

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: the Dems got a pre convention bounced because of Joe

13
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: Biden's departure. So that's different. But seven states have emerged

14
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: as battlegrounds, and Harris leeds in three Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,

15
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: only by small small margins. In North Carolina, Trump is ahead,

16
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: but again by the smallest smallest margin one percent. We're

17
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: talking in the other three Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada. The

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: numbers are so close. Different poles give different results, so

19
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is saying it's going to.

20
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: Be a tight race to the very end, so let's

21
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: not pay too much attention to those polls.

22
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: Well, what can be said for Harris is that just

23
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: forty six percent have a favorable impression of her, but

24
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: for Trump the number is thirty three percent fifty three

25
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: percent c Harris has qualified to be present compared to

26
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: forty seven for Trump. While the gender gap is huge

27
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: and growing, Kamala Harris leads among women by thirteen points,

28
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: which is up by six since the Democratic Convention. Trump

29
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: is up by five points in that period among men,

30
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: fifty four to forty one percent. So again, women and

31
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: men completely different worlds politically, even more so this go round.

32
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: So in this week before the presidential debate, Harris and

33
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: Kowe are setting out on what they're calling a reproductive

34
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: rights campaign to us, since abortion is an issue where

35
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: they have a clear lead. They also plan to unveil

36
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: more details of the economic program in the coming days

37
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: where Trump leads. Of course, it was the abortion question

38
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: that hurt Republicans so much in twenty twenty two, wasn't

39
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: it When there was all that talk about a red

40
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: wave the likely Republicans. That didn't happen. So Trump has

41
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: been flip flopping on abortion. Of course, Trump rags about

42
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: naming the three Supreme Court justices who tipped the balance

43
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: and allow the overturning of the abortion rights law Roe v. Wade.

44
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: Then he signaled support for a Florida plan to allow

45
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: abortions in his home state for at least six weeks,

46
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 1: a period in which many women, of course don't even

47
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: know if they are pregnant.

48
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: Well, I think the six week is too short. This

49
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: has to be more time. And so that's and I've

50
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: told them that I want more weeks for your vote

51
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: in favor of the amendment. I'm voting that I am

52
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 2: going to be voting that we need more than six weeks.

53
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: So can you have it both ways? That led to

54
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 1: an anti abortion backlash against Trump, with Right to Life

55
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: as saying they could no longer trust Donald Trump, who

56
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: were then flip flopped again, are.

57
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 3: You going yes or no?

58
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 4: On amend and four in Florida? So I think six

59
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 4: weeks you need more time than six weeks. I've disagreed

60
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 4: with that right from the early primaries when I heard

61
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 4: about it. I has disagreed with it. At the same time,

62
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 4: the Democrats are radical because the nine months is just

63
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 4: a ridiculous issue where you can do an abortion in

64
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 4: the ninth month, and you know some of the states

65
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 4: like Minnesota and other states have it where you could

66
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 4: actually execute the baby after birth.

67
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 1: Well that's a lie. But in terms of allowing abortions,

68
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: what he would support abortion if there was more time,

69
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: but he wouldn't support it if there was less time.

70
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: So he's anti abortion but could be pro abortioned if

71
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: there was an earlier ban or a later Who knows

72
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: right to simplematters?

73
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 3: The Middle East?

74
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: Where are we at?

75
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Biden Harris has been meeting with the National security

76
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: folks today to consider laying out a final take it

77
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: or leave it plan to try to win release of

78
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: the Israeli hostages still held in Gaza and find a

79
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: cease fire. Of course, we've heard this story before many times,

80
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: have we not? This after the execution by Hamas of

81
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: six hostages and the biggest anti Netnia who protests we've

82
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: seen in Israel just huge. Biden says nothing. Nettanna, who

83
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: is not doing enough to gain release of the hostages,

84
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: who include a number of Americans. Netnio, who has just

85
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: apologized to families of the hostages.

86
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: I told the families, and I repeat and say this evening,

87
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: I'm asking for your forgiveness that we didn't manage to

88
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: bring them back alive.

89
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: But he says there can still be no concession to

90
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: her master, especially on policing the Egyptian border zone. Those

91
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: Israeli protests have been intense. The mother of the Israeli

92
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: American killed, Rachel Goberg Pollen, took part in her son's

93
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: funeral services, saying, in part.

94
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 3: Finally, my sweet boy, finally, finally, finally, finally see I

95
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,119
Speaker 3: will love you and I will miss you every single

96
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: day for the rest of my.

97
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: Life, while Hannah Siegel, whose Israeli American uncle still is

98
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: being held, says.

99
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 5: This there has been a deal on the table that

100
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 5: Natanyahu has refused to take for months now, and we

101
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 5: are devastated and scared.

102
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: So this is just excruciating. Yes, it is all right,

103
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: Richard c u won food. I appreciate it very.
