but a wild card in british politics is a wild card i'd be willing to play when you've got little more than a busted flush. for you bill wild card just self a number of times level thank you for appearing once again on the alex salmond show . my pleasure. the liberal democrat leadership contest the stake in place against the back cloth of a global pandemic of necessity it has been a virtual contest of a son vince cable as professionally frank when he says that even the different circumstances the been difficult to sustain much excitement after all the liberals have been through 3 bruising general election contests in quick succession the last of what's that much themselves to provoke have a politics is always changing the great low. but old revival has been forecast many times since lloyd jones left office a century ago but rather like the holy grail it's been difficult to find and even more difficult to retain equally the opposite suggestions of the imminent demise of also being greatly exaggerated. but not dead yet and in politics where those any life a tall there's always hope and so from the myself and all of the s

given y. a cot a clean bill of health the industry's biggest players are accounting firms deloitte price waterhouse cooper ernst and young or in y. nowadays and k p m g the wild card scandal is especially painful for you why it had been why a cons regular order to since 2009 but failed to identify fraudulent money palatial the balance sheets until this year. it's a scandal of unprecedented proportions. as wire card shares slumped with billions of euros wiped off its market value many questions arose chief among them if a company that became a favorite among investors posted fraudulent accounts for years on end why did nobody notice isn't that what auditors are for in this case the why formerly ernst and young man can do this you know it's impossible to understand how there could be a comprehensive audit saying everything is ok except nothing was ok. the why has to explain that gap but i can't imagine how they possibly could i mean clearly a lot of things went wrong sometimes you know. was it incompetence negligence a conflict of interest or perhaps lucrative consulting contracts. this is here and this is one piece of the puzzle we have auditors in this case the y.

bill clinton was the last. that was the wild ross perot year. this is trump versus biden but the coronavirus is the wild card. will the virus look as tough for the country in a month or two as it does right now? that's one calculations. as biden prosecutes the case against him. the other thing is to use every moment to your opportunity because go back through the races, right? john kerry came a lot closer than most people remember but he couldn't get there. that was 2004, the first election after 9/11. mitt romney at times looked competitive and didn't turn out that way in the end but there were moments in the end of the race romney looked competitive. can joe biden put together the electoral map to defeat an incoi incumbent president? some of them are very close. they will get tighter but at least biden has the advantage going in the challenge for this convention is to maximize that advantage. that's why rally the african american base, especially your most reliable voters and try with kasich and christie whitman and other republicans to try to recreate the collision from 2018 that made nancy pelosi speaker.

bill that has far less what the public needs? >> house speaker nancy pelosi previously negotiated deals with the secretary of the treasury steve mnuchin. by the wild card meadows, the new chief of staff. nancy pelosi takes offense and feigns ignorance of his name. >> this is a conversation only to respect the fact that the president's representative, not even the lead negotiator, that would be steve mnuchin, we consider whatever his name is, what is his name? meadows as staffing mr. minh nguyen. >> if there is a deal, it would be a chance for a big build government shutdown one a month from now, or you have no coronavirus bill and a government shutdown during a pandemic. dana. >> dana: people need help while they bigger, thank you, chad. steve bannon us had to go to trial next spring on fraud charges, he is accused of using money meant for the border wall on himself. aishah hasnie has more on this from news york -- new york. >> yes, set for may 24th pending any covid concerns, all four codefendants have been arraigned and pled not guilty. and of course bail has been set at the lead defendant to retired air force veteran brian coppage at $500,000. steve

bill. >> good sunday morning. so we have these two storms. marco is going to make landfall sooner, in two days or a day and a half. and laura is the wild-cardura is the one that concerns me most. actually looks amazingly impressive being over the top of 8,000- to 10,000 mountain peaks. marco could become a category 1 hurricane today. it could make landfall. we expect that to be sometime on monday around 1:00 p.m. notice how narrow that cone is. we have a very good idea where we think the storm is going to go. it should weaken as it approaches. by then, hardly any rain left with it and a very weak storm. so i think marco for southern louisiana standards is going to be a minor event. we have the hurricane warnings along the louisiana coast, tropical storm warnings, and as far as storm surge goes, it's vulnerable, 3 to 5 feet. most of the properties are built for that. we'll have to see how that plays out. it is a minor concern. but with a category 1 storm, kendis, we do not expect a lot of evacuations. with the covid concerns, that shouldn't be an issue. as far as the computer models go, they're all sort of southeast of louisiana and taking c

campaigning has no modern precedent making it a potential wild card in november especially in a close race. do you value the face-to-face stuff, billdo. i think that's important for a candidate to get out there. also when you are out face-to-face you can gauge the reaction of people better. what they respond to, what they don't respond to. i think it's very important. like why a lot of actors prefer theater to the silver screen in many ways because it's a more intimate relationship. but look, i think the larger point you just said, this is unprecedented territory. there are so many different things that could make a difference. the debates could be more important. if people calculate that joe biden is not up to it or weak it may put more attention on his vice presidential pick. from history we know vice presidents don't really help you that much but they can hurt you. so i think there is a myriad of factors that could change the script this year. >> trace: i think the overlying point here is that when you are only coming public a few times a week or a few times a month everything is magnified and amplified. good to see you as alway
