Before we go any further, I realise that many of you must have been listening to this podcast thinking,

I really like this. I really like the sound of the New European, but I'm not quite sure I want to

spend loads of money to find out if I do like it. So I have got a proposal for you, a whole month

of the New European for one pound. If you like it, you can carry on paying five pounds a month.

That's a little more than a pound a week. But if you've been sitting there thinking I'd like to get

the New European, but I'm not sure I really want to spend the money, now's the time to go for it.

Just one pound and it's yours for a month. Go to the new European.com.ukuk

forward slash two mats. This offer is the best you'll get anywhere and it's exclusive to two

mats podcast listeners. And you can cancel any time you like. So it's an unrepeatable offer to

dip your toe into a whole new world of

journalism. Well, Matt, it's been quite the week. It has. And we're back for another election

podcast, but just not our election. Just not the UK election because I think it's fair to say

that the world's eyes have been turned towards America

since Saturday evening when the Republican nominee Donald Trump was shot at in Pennsylvania

at a rally and that horrible event in which someone died has kind of focused and refocused

and already fraught presidential race. And as we speak,

the delegates at the Republicans convention are meeting in Milwaukee. It's an amazing couple of

days. It is. And as we were getting ready for this podcast, there came through the news that in the Florida case, one of the many indictments against Trump, the judge Eileen Cannon, who is a Trump appointee, has dismissed the whole case.

Yeah.

So, I mean, just to stay momentarily on the legal stuff, he's pretty much got a free run now. I mean, he's the sentencing in the New York Cush Money case where he was convicted on 34 counts has been delayed indefinitely. The Georgia racketeering case, which was the strongest, has been delayed in limbo and certainly won't, I think, start this side of the election.

And now this, the grounds on which the judge in Florida has, this was the unauthorized removal of classified documents and they'd ended up in Marilago.

Yeah.
