Will racist jokes get the voters out for Trump?

Trump has achieved a lifetime ambition and played Madison Square Gardens, NYC. Throughout the night the stage was filled by supporters, surrogates and comedians making a variety of racially offensive gags - including calling Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage. Trump's fans are split into those who think they warmed up the stage nicely, and those who think they've lost him a crucial minority vote. Later, the billionaires buying into Trump. First he won over Elon Musk. Now it looks like Jeff Bezos has been bought. The Amazon owner is also the proprietor of the Washington Post - that stalwart of a free thinking press. This weekend he overturned the editorial line the paper wanted to take and refused to endorse Kamala Harris. What does that tell us about the future of the free media if Trump wins? And Tommy Robinson has been jailed for contempt of court after he spread misinformation about Syrian refugees. Because that's how the rule of law works.Editor: Tom HughesExecutive Producer: Louis DegenhardtProducer: Natalie Indge Digital Editor: Michaela WaltersSocial Media Editor: Georgia FoxwellVideo Production: Rory Symon, Shane Fennelly & Arvind BadewalDigital Journalists: Michael Baggs & Jacob PaulDon’t forget you can also subscribe to our other News Agents podcasts via the link below:https://linktr.ee/thenewsagents You can listen to this episode on Alexa - just say "Alexa, ask Global Player to play The News Agents"And you can grab your News Agents merch, including t-shirts, hoodies and water bottles at the link below.https://store.global.com/collections/the-news-agentsThe News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/
