The Rest Is...Trump, The Assassination Attempt, & The Power Of The Media
This week, Jacki and Lyle discuss the event that has shocked the world over the last week - the attempted assassination of former US President Donald Trump. Jacki and Lyle discuss the immediate aftermath of the assassination attempt, as well as how the respective teams of Biden and Trump have responded. Jacki analyses the impact the image of Trump standing up after being shot might well have on the upcoming Presidential election, whilst Lyle discusses the contrasts between Joe Biden and Donald Trump when it comes to reacting to significant moments in the campaign. This is all discussed through the lens of the power of the media and, crucially, the power of words, with Biden having spoken of 'putting Trump in the bullseye' merely days before the attempt on his life. Jacki uses the excellent example of the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard trial as an example of how words and emotions can drive a narrative, before Lyle asks her about her own experience of jury duty here in the UK. There's time for Lyle to demonstrate his accent skills before he embarks on an upcoming touring production, and the episode threatens to derail over a few impromptu gags!Artwork & music by Lyle FultonGet in touch via lyle@dimoso.com or info@therestispr.comMore information at www.therestispr.comFollow us on Twitter - @TheRestIsPR Hosted on Acast.
