Weekend Variety Wireless - Hour 3 - 05/08/18

Graeme Hill is joined by John Dybvig for his take on the latest news of the week from the United States. First up does Ivanka know anything about her mother? The presidents daughter spoke out this week about her mothers immigrant status. She discussed how she is the child of an immigrant, but her mother was a legal immigrant. However, in Ivana Trumps new book she discusses how she made it into the country through a sham wedding, thus making her an illegal immigrant. In the words of Dybvig she obviously hasnt read the book. Then the pair take a look at a shooting that occurred this week. An unarmed man was shot for parking in a disabled parking spot and not being disabled. Following the shooting it was revealed that the man was in possession of a disability pass. How Stupid is America?This week every important agency (CIA etc.) gathered for a press conference at the white house. They stated at said press conference that Russia is meddling. Trump came back later that day and disregarded the conference entirely, telling media that it was a hoax. Warning: John does always try to contain himself, but there are a few swear-words used, so listen to this week's Letter from America at your own risk. Then Graeme gives us a tour of the 2018 NZ Pie Awards. Weekend Variety Wireless with Graeme Hill, 8pm - midnight Saturdays and Sundays, on RadioLIVE and streaming live to the Rova app on Android and iPhone.
