It's got to be some chin was itching to even never get tired of listening to text me from now on 85058 remain up all night Abby b.c. Dot co dot u.k. Or give us a call in an hour's time for phone in order of 800. 008-085-9096 extension 93 of 4 G.'s. The Duke of York has told the b.b.c. That he absolutely categorically did not have sex with a woman who's accused him of sleeping with her when she was 17 Prince Andrew said there were many things that were wrong with Victoria Roberts's account of the evening in question on certain questions for a 1st time about the allegations Prince Andrew said he had no recollection of ever meeting her he said he couldn't remember a photograph which appears to show him with his arm around ever being taken the Duke said he had let the side down by staying with the disgraced financier Geoffrey Epstein even though he knew he had been convicted of procuring an underage girl for prostitution speaking to me mate less on Newsnight he refuted all of Gina Roberts's claims in a legal deposition 2015 she said she had sex with me 3 times once in a London house when she was trafficked in Maxwell's house once in New York a month or so later at Epstein's mansion I want on his private island in a group of 7 or 8 other girls. No no to all of all of it absolutely all of it across well and the more has been watching the programme and he I think I mean mainly said in the preamble to the interview that this was quite unprecedented to suite a member of the roll family under these circumstances about allegations like this. That's right I mean it's a very personal troubling injury for Prince Andrew here to talk about these allegations of sexual offenses against Virginia Roberts he had to talk about very personal matters like his medical condition I mean for example he said the Virginia Roberts had accused him of. Having sex with her and she said that they went to a nightclub and Prince Andrew sweated profusely and he said Well that couldn't have happened he said because at the time because he said he was shot at in the Falkland Islands he had a problem with his adrenaline levels and he didn't actually sweat so he said you know that couldn't have happened it didn't happen I he said the condition has been sorted out now and he he does what now and that sort of intimate medical detail is reflected in quite a lot of the headlines in the papers today just running through some of the reaction Sunday Times I had a a pizza alibi Mail on Sunday not one single word of remorse perhaps the most critical of the newspapers the Observer I didn't have sex with teen the Son No sweat I was at Peter express Mira No sweat and no regret perhaps I should explain why Peter Express comes up as well because he the allegation is that he had sex with Virginia some March the 10th 2001 and he says he remembers that night because he took his daughter Prince Beatrice to Woking and to the Pizza Express there and he says in the interview he didn't doesn't go to working very often he doesn't go to be searched press so he has a very clear memory of that so it's an alibi effectively for one of those sexual encounters he's accused of it doesn't sound from the headlines that you read out there that he has got the outcome from this interview that you would have imagined was the reason why he wanted to do it in the 1st place he hasn't the kind of outcome. He would have expected now I think it's fair to say that most of the reaction has been negative certainly quite a few of those those headlines reflect that I haven't seen much in the way of a positive response may be there is a response for example from the p.r. Man Mark because ski who said this was an object lesson in doing everything wrong in p.r. Terms he said he was like a man in quicksand So I think yes I think to be fair to say that most of the reaction has been negative it's interesting that we haven't yet heard from Virginia Roberts herself it will be interesting to see what she makes of it and he for now thank you very much Kris won and to move there now 2 people were injured by the fire that engulfed the student accommodation building known as the cube in Bolton last night you may remember who we reported on this the blaze gutted the top floor of the building and seriously damaged other floors the 6 Tori building is understood to have been clad in high pressure laminate cladding material Arnold Tarling is a chartered surveyor and an expert in fire safety is a member of the association and Specialist of fire protection and when we spoke earlier I asked him why when the cause of the fire is yet to be determined so much attention as already been focused on the cladding material used on the building. Because of a far absolutely irrelevant in regards 'd to the fire spread it could be deliberate it could be accidental it could be electrical It could be you know. It could be any number of things the cause of the fire is only for forensics. As to who caused us every resident irrelevant as percent of the building homes. But just looking at the planting covering isn't good enough you could actually look into the whole my cup of will when it's come to the approved documents they 'd were misleading they were ambiguous they were condemned off to the lock and. Yet nothing was done well with the experts doing a voice in the midst of what did they tell him every pick was that him to do nothing whatsoever. The current read for all of the Building Regulations is a joke it doesn't go far enough it is still confusing it is still ambiguous it still has a section in this saying that if you have a thermoplastic and its a bomb did to another material you only consider the fun of writing over that of the material what your way is grim felt it was a material it was bonded to something else and the other thing it was bonded to pulsed so you get a whole load of stuff lessons have a little thing love the only real trying just the approved documents a thing we go off to buildings above 18 Lita's that's above 6 stories now this building is 6 stories now only lots of other people in the phone industry have been saying the buildings up to 6 stories must be included but the of voices to government haven't done it Well 'd I know what you've seen of the player in Bolton. Have you been able to conclude as to why the Flies spread so quickly yes or have you what you have to do is go to Google Street View However the street behind the building which had the phone out and it finds a place which has for 2015 and they start to see the construction it was steel frame we like right steel in between into most of that you had to peel it insulates from now that's the same stuff that was on Gram fell which caused the solenoid poisoning was already to the saw not poisonings but this one isn't even as far resistant as the one Ogram Phillips kingspan Ferma which will be a clone of the oh where is the worst that you can get in for a writing. Well we all saw it there was plywood on top of that you had a product Cotto effect which is a breather membrane which is close a record we all know it by had vertical timbers and the knife is the cladding to the outside and looking at the drawings Oh I can't even see any fire stopping going a little very thickly to where the. Compartment was all horizontally where the floors are building if they were lucky that hit the top and didn't stop burning both of them because the whole of that building would have been ablaze just like we had recently and was to park where the getting the file stopping was correct who was missing what does the presence of material like fresh lemon it may Jackson fire more difficult why is it flawed Munadi to spread quickly with this kind of material Well the 1st printing behind it you know this material is almost close say IAU close to the material we you know which is the 3rd and 4th wust for a writing it's made out of a plastic resin. Filled with Piper would fall into it contributes to the fog but doesn't burn as fast as what's going on behind it so the far Pickard applying for water owning a pond over to stop in the rain the water getting through because it's right on the screen cladding is doing its job how do you follow it for what's behind it but eventually it drops off when it's cold follow it drops to the ground. On the building regulations up to 16 made has a layer of limitless amounts of smoke production and limitless amounts of science is building material dropping off the building or off the Grenfell by only fixed it so the building is about fighting metas an opportunity lost they have been 5 flies. In multi occupancy buildings yes if Bolton is the 5th the. Building a molecule the building that was on the postulate socially destroyed. You will. Is there will be moving aside some of the time a grand fellow said before grand sounding 24 train only spoke the British Standard I knew for to come from our race the issues of i.c.m. Cladding All right issue 10 backlighting raise the issue of timber balconies and if you know saying full if occupancy you are missing out there's more than. There were 2 hotels it was a there was a old people's home there was a bulking there was one thing it was to poke there were some of us were trying to get the names off that was the this one well it's because we've got all these Bolton phones a construction and despite the warnings that were given to the it's voices all of the ministers nothing was done because one of the advisers always said the number of people dying in Fuzzy's forewarning show me the bodies that was the attitude what I would want to know is what's the sniping setting the minister because that will reveal everything. Looking at the photos looking at the cause of the phone saying the things need to be Chinese that isn't where they need to be looking and they need to look at the good voices who allowed this to come to this part of spite of a fan as where we go tens of thousands of buildings property with hundreds of thousands of Paypal the high for high risks. Well it's a fight on what to play said it should be made a matter of public record I know the huge reason The yourself with the. Paul big fire in south London the yes full story Richmond house bloke in the Hamptons housing scheme fire which broke out in the early morning of the night of September had quite a lot of widespread publishing about well just because he was shocking I suppose but your reports is saying that the new building a pinhead to stick to the legend of the fire regulations and yet it was supposedly lost does that then mean a sorry you're missing Racing Form that there are things which complied with it the lack of the fun of stopping didn't comply but at that place it was compliant as far as I could say from the wreckage. Were parents with building regulations but they were breaches of the Building Regulations things were missing but a lot of it complied because the outside face all of the building was close the spread risk is what was behind it wasn't you know you can you can say here that the timber behind it complies because it's more than 9 millimeters thick and that complies but because it didn't have the 1st topping it didn't comply so with the revisions which there are very few to the new guidelines you can still occur at a building 18 meters high in the wood fire rated close to the theories and I think at one worst Let's close a which is the. Topic lighting on friends and it's still out well does this mean we will literally have to go through. The buildings have been built in the last you know well right up to the last few weeks we have to go straight back over all the buildings have been built up to now to look to see how they comply with building regulations and particularly how they comply in terms of fuzzy safety yes every single building with local s.s.s. Construction running tipping the tap and we are still building over all the areas which are for our traps of fire deaths risks because the care of the prey of documents is to allow it. There is a chartered surveyor and an expert in fire safety and a member of the Association of specialist fire protection. It's been another interesting we in the Life of Colin Kaepernick you might remember him he's the American n.f.l. Quarterback who famously refused to stand to the national anthem as was customary at sports events stateside and he did what they call took the knee he took the knee he knelt on one knee as the national anthem was being played anyway this weekend in the considering saga of his life he has rejected what would have been an opportunity from the n.f.l. Well to some extent anyway he was thought to be about to attend an n.f.l. Arrange private workout to show off his skills to the n.f.l. Franchise is because he's been a free agent ever since he was sacked as POWs from his position as a quarterback for his team has netted teams since then so it's all good about this now with our North American sports show presenter James Wickham. James good morning Arlo Dawson Yeah this is yet another extraordinary day in the life of Cullen Kappa Nick I mean just give you an idea this is a story that has been going on in American football kind of overshadowing pretty much the whole sport for the last 3 years as you know Don I mean America is a society in so many ways that is divided by race and it's favorite sport America you know football is referred to as America's game is certainly no exception to that it's kind of a microcosm really of some of the problems that you see across the country and the calling cap'n take issue came about a few years ago as you say as he and another colleague of his Eric Reed took the knee as they say to protest racism in us society now fast forward a long time calling cap and it hasn't been able to play in the n.f.l. Since 2016 he hasn't had any clubs seemingly interested. In him there have been arguments legal arguments between him and the n.f.l. That was earlier this year a suggestion of a case against the n.f.l. From calling Kappa Nick suggesting that the n.f.l. Had essentially colluded to keep him out of the league but that was settled out of court and we don't know what the details of that settlement were anyway get to today doesn't or Saturday at least and well coming up and it was shed to attend this private workout out the Atlanta Falcons complex where lots of the n.f.l. Scouts would come along have a look at him and see how he was doing he basically decided to turn that down and then go and do it instead about an hour away at a high school well let's hear what he had to say after the session. From now. With everything. Making sure we had 3 affairs you. Want to get. Him out here for no yard. 2 already here. Think you know regions where you want. 40 feet to get updates as we hear from Wayne to hear much of the n.f.l. 32 teams will let you know if we hear them wasn't there for everybody to go. Yet again just one more question in case this is too confusing for listeners that's calling care for Nick they're essentially organizing his own Chiles you know like you go for so controls for a team and this is n.f.l. Trolls and he's organizing is own trials away from the official draw Yes because essentially what he is saying to cut a very long story short is that he doesn't really trust the n.f.l. To have room this trial properly or to have done it in good faith and he was talking there about a guy called Roger Goodell he's the commissioner of the National Football League and it's kind of through him it seems that a lot of this is going to look Don he knows much more about this than I do is down woken who's a national columnist for USA Today sports he's been in Atlanta where it all happened Hello Don nice to have you back and just ask just tell us down what was the atmosphere like today and just how did it all work out. Was fairly confusing at the beginning because it dissipated. Going up to the Atlanta Falcons facility. Which is where the original work out was supposed to take place and there were you know there were a bunch of supporters and a couple protesters who are against cap or Nick who were there and you know that was fairly typical but. You just figured you were going to kind of wait the work that was supposed to be closed and you were just going to try to pick up whatever pieces you could but what happened is word started to circulate that that work out was not going to happen they were going to do it at a school that's all the way on the very southern side of the metropolitan area so it took about an hour to drive there so I got in my car and made my way there and there were about 250 people fans who also heard about it and came and you know they they made it quite the atmosphere and you know when it was all over capper Nick. He signed autographs he you know to talk to the his supporters and then he came over deliver the message that you just played it was so little bit surreal little bit strange and you know I don't think that it helped his cause of playing in the n.f.l. Again but I think certainly for the people who were fear him as a as a cultural icon it. Certainly bolstered those credentials. Down this is dos in 5 Live. The well is one of these would cuts what would you do what does would sit until what would you see what's the c.s. You could if you like well for the actual work out it's really not much to to watch you know the quarterback position in football. Certainly everyone can a lot of people can look good when there's no defense you know you're just out there throwing the football he had 4 receivers out there and it was basically just you know pitch and catch he would go in and make throws a to those guys and all the different kinds of throws that that quarterbacks make you know short or long medium middle of the field out to the perimeter but those are not real throws I mean you're just sort of looking at you know for the scouts that are there you're looking at how someone moves their mechanics you know how they deliver the ball. You know the allotted either the arc of the ball you know and that'll look good but you know any competent quarterback is going to look good playing against no defense so I'm not sure how much was was learned but it's kind of a 1st step formality when you're looking to potentially sign a quarterback just to make sure that you know that their mechanics of throwing the ball or are looking like they're proper How embarrassing is this for the n.f.l. The person who's in the media spotlight and the n.f.l. Ready been accused by him at least of perhaps me. You know. He's not getting signed by needs or otherwise how the Bears in use it for them that he goes ensued in training trials if you like Yeah well I think what happened is. The capper Nick camp was very suspicious about the whole 'd set up of this workout his agent Jeff now Ali was also with the workout and and I spoke to him today and it is now Lee said there was not a single team or general manager that requested this work out it came out of the blue it was the n.f.l. Calling up capper Knicks representation and saying we're going to put this work out together you know take it or leave it in that's not typically the way this works I mean it's the n.f.l. Office doesn't get involved in these kind of personnel decisions it's a team wanted to work cap or nick out or take a look at them they could do that at any time and no one had done that so there were a lot of suspicions about about the motives of the n.f.l. In this and one of the potential motives was to clear them of litigation responsibility. They were trying to make capper Nick signed this 6 page waiver that specified that if no team signed him that Capper Nick would not be able to to sue the n.f.l. . And he didn't want to sign that and that was one of the that was one of the. Sticking points that caused this thing to fall apart so you know it looks like it looks more more like the n.f.l. Had something up their sleeve and capper Nick didn't fall for it but given all of that Don does that mean a company can do likely not to play in the n.f.l. Or so well so yeah I think today I think today widened the gap no doubt about it I think I'm not sure anyone would have signed him anyway because it's just it's the amount of time and the issues are are big but today definitely didn't help matters . Don't Really appreciate it or regards the island 0 as we say learned.

Have you heard George's book cos there's an hour b.b.c. . This is b.b.c. Radio 5 Live available on the b.b.c. Sounds a whole fortnight was docile at a buyout of a news Rumania now with Michael Bird there's no election or presidential runoff election on the 25th November choices between the incumbent liberal class the highest and the Social Democratic former Prime Minister Hariri get down Chilla you how nice is expected to be reelected comfortably but he's a very boring elections no one's really interested and they have 0 democratic scrutiny really surprises me 1st of all that nobody's interested but why 0 democratic scrutiny surely that they are fair and transparent Karen transparent but what's happened is the president you have this refuses to debate his rival because of what he calls party's support for criminals and he claims there can be no exchange of ideas with her party at all because he says they've trampled on the rule of law you have this has also refused to give any one on one interviews to journalists preferring only one single press conference speeches and Facebook to communicate and only next week you'll have one group talk with with a group of selected journalists Ok the debate over the resists is a debate with the opposition Fair enough but what about what is here for. Trade where of in you know facing journalist who might scrutinize his policy what's the actually afraid of what's he done I think that he hasn't actually done anything and this is maybe the problem he's done nothing that's necessarily good and done nothing that's necessarily bad so the idea is that if he's open to scrutiny it might actually show that he's been a pretty benign president the last 5 years and maybe that's not the kind of scrutiny he wants opened up in general what's happened is that he's kind of trying to sleep walk the country into just voting him back because the alternative is perhaps worse but surely the country knows if a president has done absolutely Jack during the course of his tenure surely the country knows without any journalist having to scrutinize it. Well it may be the case I mean he could argue that the government has stopped him from putting any policies through but at the same time he's not really actually giving any policies he doesn't seem to have any part of the country which he's revealed to the people he's just based his entire. Campaign for reelection by saying I'm better than the other guy cause the other guy is worse than me and with the country by that you say that he's likely to be reelected yes I think the country will buy that. This is what will happen I mean I think that it in Rumania and as in many other countries many people think they will vote for the least worst evil and in this case he's sort of building his campaign on that in fact his whole campaign is built on the fact that we want a normal Rumania a boring Rumania Rumania without any real kind of you know ideas or a future but something that isn't getting worse of what basis is the president suggesting that the opposition is worse than him where he sang that the the president of the opposition party is now in prison so he's kind of building his whole campaign on the fact that I am not criminal but the other guys are criminal So that's his idea it's like saying Who do you want to lead Rumania someone who's criminal or someone who's not criminal and people are going to say Ok we don't want a criminal and that's that in a nutshell that's the campaign but they probably would also say we don't want a return to check out Cesco the former president who was of course shot before a firing squad when remaining collapse of communists remain you collabs and he's been accused by the opposition of big. A new charges. That's right I mean she's saying that he refuses debate he refuses democracy he refuses to be part of what we fought for 30 years ago this month or so. But that again is not really going to have much effect on the population it will fire up her base but it won't actually stop him from being reelected what about I don't think what about policies what the big issues that rebellions if they if they're not sleepwalking. Will want to go vote on. All the big issues that face remain as the cost of living is rising the fact that maybe 3 between 3 and 5000000 people have gone abroad and there's a huge kind of lack of people working in the country these are the kind of issues which people really want to see solutions for and so far we haven't seen any kind of ideas for this yet. Through 5000000000 people go to broad. To to work abroad yes it's a work board did you know what the percentage of the population the that amounts to . Well that amounts to probably the working age population about 25 percent 25 percent of the population is overseas working what kind of impact does that have on the country. Well on the one hand what it does is actually means that a lot of money gets sent home so that is something which is used to boost the g.d.p. But what it does mean is that there is a lot of jobs that can't be filled in the country at the moment so you have that that is a major issue at the moment is not enough doctors is not enough teachers there's not because all the doctors are going to the cafe or the teachers one at a salary so they'll work as bakers in London for example I spoke to a baker in London who was a teacher Rumania because he gets better paid has a better quality of life in in in south London leaders Rumanian it doesn't seem to have impacted on the infrastructure of the country so much were so you know in terms of the environment because remain as one of those countries is still very reliant on coal power yes that's right I mean but last month I visited the town of Robyn are in South Rumania where 12000 people live surrounded by 4 open cast mines on the edge of the town is a giant power station and which is 50 years old which is used to make electricity for 5 percent of the country and between the line in the plant belts that transport the fuel from the ground to the furnace and they run directly past people's gardens so if you can imagine your garden has sometimes 8 hours a day cold going past it sort of with folks of dust rising into the air. And. What happens is because he's an open cast mines the the giant excavators of slicing into the hills where people can walk and one no one no one resident Ned could be care who has a 62 years old it's a retired engineer said to me that the coal dust is like a drug he said Oh when you leave this place arter 4 or 5 days you get headaches and your your heart beats irregularly because you'll all can isn't is no longer filled with this crap and personally when I was there felt as though you know the inhaling the dust just when you walking down the street was like kind of smoking like a full pack of cigarettes who wants How is that acceptable within the European Union remaining as part of the European Union are before there were health and safety guidelines not to talk of environmental guidelines of the country will have to meet. This is true I mean in some ways the the the company the running is running the mind is saying that it's making these efforts to to to mitigate the amount pollution they'd open to warehouse. But I went a month after the the warehouse to deposit the coal warehouse had just been. Had just been opened and let me tell you that the place was just full of a fog of dust so for me it's quite incredible that these places can still survive I mean before I went there I was carbon neutral in terms of my point of view but now you can see that the the quinces that they grow they're cutting told us the the dogs they're cutting told us that the carrots are covered in coal dust it's a it's a very an entire city and mind intertwined is one so you have this situation whereby really it was been done to actually kind of create an environment where people can actually live. There it remain here David Wooding is from the Sun on Sunday and his 1st story is about the investigation into a peerage is for Briggs a party members the police are investigating whether to hold an investigation so it's a bit like talks about talks the trial for now a lot for the. Labor pair and the Liberal Democrats. Cold for an investigation into allegations that that the Conservative Party officials offered the Breck's a party candidates jobs or parishes to stand aside now the biggest fears being as you as you probably know in your listeners may have a following of the last couple of weeks that the press room not too far out is potentially a big. Hurdle for them. Boris Johnson the conservatives because they all the productive party will take votes off conservatives who really wants a hard breakfast and possibly cost them victory in December the 12th in the general election and they won't do a deal with the backs of party and Boris Johnson has been sending that message across that if your vote for the blacks a party you could end up with Jeremy Corbyn in Number 10 well there's been rumors about peerage is being offered in fact Nigel Farrar said he was twice offered a peerage himself. That this is all being denied by the conservatives will Charles fault and the Liberal Democrats as well have complained the police are looking at it. That they're not so it's not an investigation but it's police assessing the complaints and the nature of the allegations to decide whether it warrants a full inquiry now Michael Gove the Cabinet Office minister has said it's complete nonsense no. Peerages have been offered but again it does leave a bit of a wreak round around the whole business and they can't be good for the conservatives of this one around and they'll be hoping that the police come to a quick conclusion on this one but we'll keep an eye on that one that one could flare up and indeed who don't know what's to come yet but it's been quite a week for Dodger fans because the week started last week this is started with the insisting that he would fields break to a party candidates in all every single constituency in the country including Majority ones and then he was being attacked for. Sabotaging a possible break sit by not least his own form a sponsor in bangs the millionaire and then he said he would only ina ek member members additions that he wasn't going to stand candidates in the 2 receipts or the seats the Tories one of the last election. And would focus on you know taking on the Labor party and see if they hold which also could pose a problem for the Conservative Party because they were expecting to win some of those neighbors eat etc and then yes out of nowhere it came out of this berm show saying well look you know the Tories have been trying to get our candidates to stand down and offering them all sorts of things he's got to nag me for grabbing the headlines almost from the jaws of both the prime minister ability of the opposition Yeah well the great thing Niger Ferrars has is that that connection with with the older man and woman in the streets he speaks in the same language as ordinary people and doesn't speak in this high falutin political speak and he doesn't use political cliches he uses ordinary terminology he smokes a cigarette he drinks up tights and that's what why people connect with him and he's a very very good communicator and as a result the Bracks a party is really all about him in the same way you care was about him when when he left you can't you keep just sort of crashed and burned. The problem now that he faces is does he want to be the man who's delivered breakfast or does he want to be the man who delivers the Bracks it Party because there is a feeling that the Bracks a party is a success all it's going to do is is take it's not going to win seats it's going from a standing start so it's going to take lots of votes but in the current system we have a 1st past the post it will probably mean in the seat where the conservatives are a few 1000 ahead of Labor if they take conservative votes from people who want breakfast. Len with the conservatives losing those votes and falling behind Labor and if its constituency is different obviously but that is the fear. And that is why there is a Pop Cap some people fail well it is conceivable that some kind of office all could show legal or bribes if you like in a sort of loose. May have been made to to get candidates to stand down you know the possible police investigation notwithstanding that the headlines or the news this week will be dominated will it not by the manifesto is as they're being published Yes they're all going to come out next weekend and I suspect if it's early next week or next weekend the be lots more of the in in next week's Sunday papers we've been focusing Labor had this meeting today to close 5 meeting which they've been. Trying to stretch out what will be in the Labor policy manifesto we had some giveaways in the week the broadband for old Jeremy called in saying that everybody would have free broadband and people on the positive side was saying this is great free. That's a fantastic giveaway Well there's the critics were saying well nationalizing broadband I mean. How could how successful is that going to be you have David Wooding of the Sun on Sunday there let's catch of the headlines in The Chicago Sun Times now with Lynn Sweet from my vet and Elaine good morning and hello to you you spent your week at the Trump impeachment hearings I went to both of them and I think I read in a deposition this and I did it and one of the stories I had at the 2 columns I did this week I tried I didn't Ellison and some of the issues of what is really going on here and the growth lacks that the Republicans are throwing up to try just distract people from the matter at hand. What do I think by that well why did the focus of the demo of the Republican complaints is that the whistleblower hasn't been identified and you hear that a lot because people here whistle blower it sounds Wow Why why don't we know who this person is well. Whistleblower is a tipster it is a dramatic start to this impeachment inquiry it's a person and who has been identified as a CIA officer subtle intelligence agency but it's just one of the things that comes out of many many things to talk about from this hearing and yeah it's fascinating being in the room I like witnessing history and I covered the Clinton impeachment and I never thought I would be covering a 2nd impeachment in my my career no previous invasion had the president who was one of the witnesses was on the stand in this case the former ambassador to Ukraine him self what was a moment like when it was an electric moment now. I was as most of the reporters were hanging on their i Phones when this goes out you're multitasking tweeting taking your own notes and that was so we saw. Trump tweeted this so I wasn't surprised that it came up I was a little surprised at how soon it came up and it was dramatic because there are screens all around the room and you don't see this necessarily on the feeds if you turn it to cable or news outlets and. I don't think it was a long time after did it the least the tweet appeared on the screen so everyone could read it it was so up by the time Adam Schiff the California Democrat who's in charge of the committee started asking a question about it characterizing what the tweet was the audience who my or may not have known about it a lot of people were hanging on i Phones could read it for themself actually the only one who might not have been aware of it was. The new of it who was the witness and it was when I studied her face a few times afterwards. When I went looked at the replay. You see how her eyebrows shot up when Chef told her about this so it was it was a surprise because it wasn't surprise you brought it up but it was a surprise to have the president react in real time and the other thing just to be quick to add to observe it out well 2 men were testifying Wednesday and didn't pursue March their reputations here's this this woman who's he has already smeared he already removed she already suffered as a result of. Of getting in the crosshairs a trump and he still felt it necessary to very savagely personally attack her during the hearing it's only distracted from whatever the impeachment was about as for go well that was about was we were talking about that Ok Just on another story I see that there's been yet another the Democrats to Greece President Joe Hoeffel throw his hat into the ring Yes former governor of Massachusetts Deval Patrick it's very late some people have been running for almost a year and a 1st vote and I was about 80 days away but then you might say why did I devote a whole day to writing about him Well I've been covering him for years because he grew up in Chicago and I've been talking I saw him actually when I was in Chicago a few weeks ago when we were both at the Obama summit he said at the about a foundation board I was covering it and by the way I did not get a clue he was about to run for president he didn't bring it up and I asked what he was up to but that aside. This is a remarkable American story he was born in to a mother who was so poor and he's only 63 so this is kind of reset it he was born at home few people in America are born at home he was swaddled and put it in of and the door was open to keep warm that's how per He was so it's it is a story that is so interesting because the way he ended up in Massachusetts is because he showed promise as a student and he had a teacher in middle school who is able to line him up with a program they gave him a scholarship to a very elite prep school in Massachusetts and that led him to leave the South Side of Chicago escape poverty. Get into the elite network that led to Harvard undergrad at law school and that add to the governorship except era the other reason I'm fascinated is that in his his developing Actrix campaign consultants in 2006 were the same people David Axelrod and David Pluff who helped launch Barack Obama and his presidential campaign and were central to that so there are just a lot of things going on including just the calculus of how can anyone at this point and in the Democratic presidential race actually get organized in time to get on the ballot so it was a story that had a lot of rich aspects to it does it have it that I hate to say or does it have any hope of winning the Democratic nomination let alone be seen President Trump to give it to the keys of the White House it's such a long shot because it's more than just him he's got to have the money to get organized in the various states I forgot land of milk and honey and money money money. I don't well Money money money money pretty body of work just get organized get out the ballots the best things in life are free people for the birds and the beach was another song from your side Lynn thanks very much.
