President Donald Trump National Prayer Breakfast Chiki&Bella President Donald Trump National Prayer Breakfast Speech - 02-02-2017 audio English President Donald Trump sought prayers Thursday for Arnold Schwarzenegger over ratings for "Celebrity Apprentice" -- the show Trump once hosted and which he said has become a "total disaster" since the former California governor took over the franchise. Trump harkened back to his days as a reality TV sensation during an address to the National Prayer Breakfast. "When I ran for president, I had to leave the show," Trump told the audience of more than 2,000 people. "They hired a big, big movie star, Arnold Schwarzenegger, to take my place. And we know how that turned out. The ratings went right down the tubes." "It's been a total disaster, and Mark will never, ever bet against Trump again," the president said, referring to Mark Burnett, the show's producer. "I want to just pray for Arnold if we can." Burnett introduced Trump at the breakfast. Schwarzenegger responded quickly in a brief video on his Twitter Career Moments That Matter SCQuARE International Successful careers are built on a few key moments.

The Cows Are Mad BBC Radio 4 The Covid-19 pandemic has been one of the weirdest things any of us has lived through. But there was another sickness that once stalked the nation and turned things very strange for a while. In the 1990s Britain was hit by an epidemic of a fatal neurological disease in cows that also killed 178 humans. Science was split between government assurances of safety and dissidents warning of disaster. Trust in officials took a battering. Facts became blurred. And the grisly truth about our global industrialised meat industry was revealed. 30 years on, scientists and activists are still searching for answers to two big questions - where did mad cow disease originally come from and how did humans get infected? This crazy tale of cannibal cows, competing origin theories, and scientific dead ends lives on as the madness continues to spread. CityTalk:LA - A MySafe:LA Podcast.
