Hello and welcome to the podcast to the Lotusitas for the 15th of July 2024 this is podcast number 956 coming up to that

one thousand slowly I am with bow and kal who is back from America and I have some announcements to make.

Thank you very much to Chris Williamson for sending us in some of his new tonic.

He doesn't pay us to do this. He's just nicely sending them in and you know he's a friend of the show and I won't

endorse anything in us I genuinely believe it and they're lovely that one particularly

is really really delicious so we're not being paid to say it but we're just trying to be nice. So if you

want some energy drinks that are supposedly more good for you, I don't know anything

about it. Think about those. And also we're carrying on with a rumble rant thing.

So if you want to send rumble rants

and have them read out at the end of the segment

rather than when we read out the comments,

then do so please but anyway I suppose we may as well address the

elephant in the room and that is the Trump assassination so there are a few events that will go down in the history books I think regarding

American politics. There's the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, the 2008

financial crisis, the election of Donald Trump in 2016,

the COVID pandemic and the lockdowns of 2020 onwards.

And then there was the 13th of July 2024 when former President Donald Trump was giving a speech in Butler, Pennsylvania at least near it.

And then an assassin tried to kill him and he got away with his life by the skin of his

ear I suppose you could say and I'm going to play the full video.

This is coverage from NTD, I believe.

Supposedly, this is the best you can find,

and it's certainly the best I've been able to find
