Donald Trump hilariously rips into CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins in heated press conference

[0:00] Donald Trump has been taking questions today [0:02] about the conflict and he really ripped into CNN [0:06] for the network's pathetic media coverage. [0:09] The fake news would rather see us lose the war [0:13] than win the war, which is really craziness. [0:15] He's not as dumb or as weak [0:17] as not only his domestic critics think he is, [0:21] he's not dumb or weak at all. [0:23] Let's just look how the media has covered [0:25] the death of a conservative politician. [0:28] This is a queer environmental activist on the BBC. [0:31] I feel like it would go amiss to not mention the fact [0:34] that she pushed against LGBTQ plus rights. [0:37] I feel like lots of people won't be reading this. [0:40] If they're so consumed by politics [0:42] that they cannot find it within themselves [0:44] to just say the murder of a 78 year old woman [0:47] is terrible period, then I think they're too far gone. [0:52] Hello, welcome to Power Hour. [0:54] I'm Gabriella Power. [0:55] Thank you so much for joining me. [0:57] It's great to be back with you after a few weeks off [1:00] and there is plenty happening right around the world. [1:04] The ceasefire between the US and Iran is well and truly over. [1:07] America is ramping up its strikes on Iran [1:10] and the US president is warning that there's more pain [1:13] to come for Tehran after it broke the peace deal multiple times, [1:18] which was to be expected. [1:20] And Donald Trump has been taking questions today [1:22] about the conflict and he really ripped into CNN [1:26] for the network's pathetic media coverage. [1:29] Just watch this. [1:30] All they have is fake news because they have the fake news. [1:33] They'd rather see us lose the war than win the war, [1:37] which is really treasonous, which is really treasonous in a certain way. [1:41] So we're doing another very major attack tonight. [1:44] They want to make a deal. [1:46] They came back. [1:47] We made a deal two days ago and they want to make a deal. [1:49] They've been negotiating for 47 years, [1:52] but nobody's ever hit them militarily. [1:54] We're hitting them very hard. [1:55] Thank you very much. [1:56] That was Donald Trump responding to Caitlin Collins' question there. [2:01] Now, the president has been blasting the media's coverage, [2:04] which, as we know, has been essentially rooting against America [2:08] from the very beginning. [2:10] While the US and Israel have been bravely taking on [2:13] the largest state sponsor of terror, [2:15] Donald Trump also reminded CNN that it wasn't that long ago [2:19] that the Iranian regime was gunning down tens of thousands [2:23] of its own citizens just in January. [2:26] Donald Trump says that this is not going to be happening again [2:29] on his watch, and while the leftist media is just so desperate [2:33] to focus so much of its coverage just attacking the US, [2:37] attacking the US president, Donald Trump is reminding the media [2:40] just how powerful the US military is. [2:43] And then you read fake news like your network, CNN, [2:48] which is fake news, you read them, you have them say, [2:51] well, actually, aren't they doing quite well? [2:53] Let me just say, they have now inflation of over 300%. [2:57] Four months ago, they had inflation of 5%. [3:00] Now they're at over 300, could be 350%. [3:05] They made a deal, they broke it, probably 10 times. [3:10] And they killed a lot of people, they killed our people, [3:13] but the protesters, what they've done to the protesters, 52,000. [3:17] Have you ever seen any of the burial lots where they're doing, [3:20] where they're burying the protesters? [3:22] They killed 52,000 protesters. [3:25] And on my watch, they can't do any of that. [3:28] So we have them in a position that they don't have any military. [3:32] There's not a thing they can do about it. [3:34] Donald Trump, stunning reporters with some facts and some common sense once again. [3:40] And the president is also reminding journalists to have some perspective. [3:44] Other wars have dragged on for decades. [3:46] No one wants to see this happen again. [3:48] But this conflict has lasted around four months. [3:51] Before this president wrapped up his press conference with reporters, [3:55] he had this message for another one. [3:59] Well, very quickly, yeah. [4:00] Thank you, Mr. President. [4:01] Please. [4:02] Wait, wait, wait, please. [4:03] I'm not a second. [4:04] Wait, Jeff. [4:05] I'm sorry. [4:06] Be nice, Jeff. [4:07] Go ahead, please. [4:08] Thank you, Mr. President. [4:09] I have to teach him to be nice. [4:10] Joining us now is Jonathan Tobin, editor-in-chief of JNS. [4:21] Jonathan, thank you so much for your time. [4:23] We've heard from U.S. President Donald Trump, [4:25] and he said that they were hitting Iran very hard, [4:28] launching strikes for the third consecutive night. [4:30] Now, Trump has declared that U.S. forces will move to control the Strait of Hormuz [4:35] and charge all ships a 20% cargo fee for passage, [4:39] claiming that the United States will act as the guardian of the Hormuz Strait. [4:43] He posted this on Truth Social, saying the USA will be from this point forward [4:48] known as the guardian of the Hormuz Strait, [4:50] but as such and as a matter of fairness, [4:53] will be reimbursed at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped for any and all costs necessary [5:00] to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the world. [5:06] The process and formation will begin immediately. [5:10] Jonathan, how is this going to work? [5:13] Well, I'm not sure exactly how it's going to work, but I can tell you this. [5:17] Trump had had enough. [5:18] He had stopped the war in the hope of lowering gas prices in the United States [5:26] and sort of stabilizing things. [5:29] And in the memorandum of understanding that he had agreed to with Iran, [5:33] he'd basically given them a big gift, but they wouldn't play ball. [5:38] They wouldn't go along with it. [5:40] They kept, you know, treating him as if he was Barack Obama or Joe Biden [5:46] and kept doubling down and provoking and making it clear. [5:51] And it was clear, I think, to anybody who knew anything about Iran before this, [5:55] that they would never seriously negotiate. [5:57] They would not end the war. [5:59] They would not give up any of their ambitions. [6:02] And he's had enough. [6:03] And he's going to, typically in Trumpian style, when they said they would charge, [6:08] he's saying, well, you're going to charge, we'll charge. [6:12] And which is another also not only a swipe at Iran, [6:16] but a swipe at America's European allies who benefit the most from America [6:22] stopping the Iranians from interfering with international shipping [6:27] and are contributing nothing to this effort. [6:31] So he's getting even with everybody who has not done as he wanted. [6:37] Look, what does this mean for future potential talks? [6:41] Are they going to hold any weight? [6:45] Or what do things look like in terms of bringing this conflict to an end? [6:48] I think, you know, in part, this may be a negotiating tactic. [6:54] That's how Trump thinks everything's a business deal. [6:57] And he's done pretty well with that in his administration. [7:00] I'm not sure that negotiations could ever work with Iran, but what he's doing is showing them that the kind of tactics that forced America to back down under Obama and under Biden aren't going to work on him. [7:16] That's encouraging. I have to say, I think, like many supporters of the president of his policies in the Middle East, I was very discouraged by, you know, his backing down and sending J.D. Vance to sort of sign a surrender with Iran. [7:30] But, you know, they wouldn't play along. They wouldn't surrender. They sensed weakness and they acted as they always do. [7:38] But Trump is a different, you know, he's a different kind of cat than his predecessors and he's not going to put up with it. [7:44] And whether it leads to more negotiations, I'm not sure. [7:49] I think that's what he hopes. [7:52] But if not, if the Iranians continue to play the way that they have played the last month and a half, Trump will continue to hit them and to control the strait, which the United States can. [8:03] You know, he worried that, you know, this war was unpopular, which it is in the United States, and that it would hurt him in the midterms. [8:11] But I think he may have come to the conclusion that there is something that could hurt him even more. [8:16] And that is a defeat in a war rather than merely, you know, really agreeing to an unsuccessful war or a long war that is difficult and unpopular. [8:26] The United States being defeated would completely ruin not merely his brand, but would undermine everything he's been trying to accomplish in his second term. [8:37] And I think he understands that he's not as dumb or as weak as not only his domestic critics think he is. [8:44] He's not he's not dumb or weak at all. [8:46] And he's not as dumb as weak as the Iranians seem to think he was. [8:50] And he's showing that to them right now. [8:52] I think that's for the good. [8:54] And I think, you know, at the outset of this war, despite some of the rumors that the Israelis over promised or dragged him into the war, they did nothing of the kind. [9:04] In fact, my information is that they told them this would be a long, hard struggle, might take as much as a year. [9:10] And he didn't want that. [9:11] He wanted a short war because that's what Americans like. [9:14] And that's what he wanted. [9:16] But perhaps the Iranians have convinced him that the Israelis were right and that there is no alternative but to keep pressuring them to blockade their ports, which is putting tremendous pressure on their economy and the regime. [9:30] You know, America is strong despite the terms of the negotiations that they agreed to in the memorandum of understanding. [9:38] Iran is weak. [9:39] America is strong. [9:41] And that is the that is the message that he is sending to Iran today. [9:47] And all I can say is I hope it gets through and that they will give up this war and negotiate something that he and the West can live with. [9:56] But I rather doubt it. [9:57] I think this is going to have to continue until one way or the other the regime waves the white flag. [10:03] They seem to think that they can, you know, can inflict unlimited pain on the West and that they can suffer anything. [10:10] We're going to find out if that's really true. [10:13] It's interesting. [10:14] You mentioned the midterms. [10:15] Do you think that Iran really wanted to prolong this war to impact Trump politically? [10:20] And what do you make of Iran's response so far in this recent escalation that it's been hitting U.S. bases and Gulf states? [10:32] Yeah, I think they would love to prolong this. [10:34] They would love to discomfort Trump. [10:36] And it's interesting in that they're hitting all of the Arab allies of the United States in the region. [10:42] They are not striking at Israel. [10:44] And, you know, they hate Israel, you know, far more than their than their Arab neighbors. [10:49] And I think the reason that they're doing that is that they don't want to go back to all out war, because if they hit Israel, Israel will hit back. [10:57] And, you know, the the gloves will be off and we'll be back to where we were in April. [11:01] And that, you know, it isn't what Trump wants. [11:04] It's not what the American people want. [11:06] It's not, you know, but it is going to be much worse for Iran than it will be for Trump. [11:13] And again, you know, the war is unpopular. [11:17] It's it's a political liability to some extent in this country. [11:21] But, you know, bending the knee to the Iranians will be even worse for Trump and showing them that America is still strong, I think, will help him far more than it will hurt. [11:31] Yeah. And I think Donald Trump has to make that message loud and clear to the media. [11:35] Sometimes he blasted CNN today. [11:37] So much of the media's coverage seems to be favoring Iran or really just focusing its attack on the U.S. president. [11:46] It's interesting listening to Donald Trump today because he referenced the protesters that were gunned down at the start of the year in January. [11:53] And he said that that was not going to happen again on his watch. [11:57] Looking at Iran's leadership at the moment, obviously, Iran's military has been crushed. [12:04] But how much control does Iran's new leadership actually have over the IRGC? [12:09] Well, the IRGC is the new government in Iran, whatever, you know, that they may have been the minions of Khamenei, the the Grand Ayatollah who was killed at the start of the war. [12:23] But they really control Tehran now. [12:26] The military is largely destroyed. [12:28] They don't have a lot of cards to play other than trying to make things escalate and try to inflict pain on the West. [12:36] But, you know, by invoking the protesters who were massacred in their tens of thousands in January, that reminds us of what was the one of the worst elements of the memorandum of understanding that was supposedly going to end the war. [12:51] And that was a betrayal of the Iranian people, that it was going to just leave this regime in place and acquiesce and, in fact, give them the money in billions and billions of of unfrozen funds to go on not only funding terrorism abroad, but funding the oppression of their own people. [13:10] And if the United States, you know, for Trump to have said help is on the way back in January and then not to have done anything, not to have followed through and to leave them to be slaughtered, you know, that would have been a blot on his record. [13:23] If he's going to now make up for that and do the do his best to ensure that the IRGC's ability to tyrannize their own people is, shall we say, at least hampered. [13:36] And, you know, there are a lot of things the United States can do, which is sort of to unleash the Kurds, which, you know, to attack the Iranian regime in the north of Iran. [13:47] Supposedly, the United States didn't want to do that because that would have offended Turkey and its its Islamist leader, Erdogan, who Trump has been treating like his best friend. [13:57] There are a lot of cards that the United States has yet to play against the regime in Iran. [14:03] And I think anybody who actually cares about the people of Iran, which certainly the leftist protesters against the United States actions around the world, certainly the hostile liberal media, they don't give a damn about the people of Iran. [14:16] They don't give a damn about the people of the region who are endangered by this regime, not by Trump. [14:22] And we'll see whether Trump follows through. [14:25] You know, we don't know. [14:27] You know, we we walk into history going backwards. [14:29] We don't we see what's behind us, not what's ahead of us. [14:31] I don't know whether this is anything more than a negotiating ploy by the United States. [14:36] But if the but to some extent, Iran is sort of writing the Iranian regime is writing its own fate. [14:42] They could have agreed to what J.D. [14:46] Vance was giving them in Switzerland and the negotiations, but they wouldn't do it. [14:50] It's against their religion, literally against their religion to make peace with the West and to give up their jihad. [14:57] If they continue if they if the war is continuing and escalating, it's because Iran can't do anything else. [15:06] And it's leaving President Trump with only two choices, surrender and disgrace. [15:11] And on the other hand, follow this through and see if we can topple them or at least force them to give up their efforts to terrorize the region, terrorize the Straits of Hormuz. [15:23] You know, a reminder, United States Navy was founded to guarantee freedom of the seas, you know, and to deal with pirates like the Iranians at that time in North Africa in the 1790s. [15:37] President Trump, I don't think, is going to let Iran get away with doing something that his predecessors stopped a long time ago. [15:44] Look, every week on this show, we follow the money on someone else's scandal. [15:49] When something doesn't add up, someone's getting paid to keep it that way. [15:53] Your Medicare plan runs on the exact same rule. [15:56] Most agents get paid more to push certain plans, not the one that fits your life. [16:02] That's exactly why Power Hour has partnered with Chapter, the only Medicare advisers that compare every plan nationwide. [16:09] They're honest, not paid to push one plan over another. [16:14] They look at your doctors, your prescriptions, what actually matters to you to find the best plan available. [16:21] And one of my American Power Hour viewers watched his premium creep from $140 a month to $350 until he couldn't afford it and cancelled when his old carrier drafted his account anyway. [16:34] Money he needed for co-pays, Chapter's advocate team fought until he got every dollar back. [16:41] In a system this broken, you need someone truly on your side. [16:46] If you're already on the right plan, they'll tell you flat out. [16:49] And if you're not, folks who switched with Chapter last year saved an average of $1,100. [16:55] It's free and takes less than 20 minutes. [16:57] Call Chapter on 743-282-0196. [17:02] You hold your leaders accountable. [17:05] Start holding your Medicare plan accountable too. [17:08] I want to ask you about the alleged assassination plot against Donald Trump. [17:12] The US Secret Service addressed reports of an alleged Iranian assassination plot targeting Trump during his trip to Turkey last week. [17:21] And the agency told Fox News, our most important responsibility is safeguarding the president and all of our protectees. [17:29] Now, this comes after reports that Israel had shared intelligence with the US about this Iranian plan to kill US President Donald Trump, [17:38] prompting this unexpected aircraft switch ahead of Trump's trip to Turkey. [17:42] What more do we know about this? [17:45] Well, Israel has very good sources in Tehran. [17:49] As we saw during the war, they know what the Iranians are going to do sometimes before they themselves know it themselves. [17:56] And the Iranians have tried to kill President Trump. [17:59] They've had assassination plots in the United States against other figures, other Americans. [18:05] We have to assume a terrorist regime, the world's leading state sponsor of terror, [18:10] responsible for the murder of hundreds of Americans, thousands of other people around the world, [18:16] they're always doing their worst. [18:17] You know, it shouldn't be a surprise that they're trying to kill Americans or even trying to assassinate the president of the United States. [18:24] That's, you know, that's right up their alley. [18:26] That's what they do. [18:27] I wouldn't be surprised if the Israelis were able to share some intelligence about it. [18:32] And listen, they spent all of Khamenei's funeral, which was, you know, [18:37] that long television show over the last several days in Tehran, screaming that they were going to kill Trump. [18:44] I mean, why is anybody surprised? [18:46] They're telegraphing us. [18:47] They're telling us that every day, that that's what they want to do. [18:50] They consider America the great Satan. [18:52] Israel's the little Satan. [18:54] And they hate the West. [18:55] They're at war with the West. [18:56] If, as President Obama said when he was appeasing them back 10 years, 10, 11 years ago, [19:02] he said he wanted to give Iran a chance to get right with the world. [19:06] Well, they didn't want to get right with the world then, and they don't want it now. [19:10] So, you know, this is exactly what a terrorist regime does. [19:14] It commits terrorism. [19:15] Nobody should be surprised by this. [19:17] And it's not surprising that President Trump may have taken that personally. [19:23] I want to ask you about Israel's elections. [19:26] Israel will hold its next national election in October. [19:29] Now, this will be the first since the devastating October 7, 2023 terror attack on Israel. [19:37] Now, of course, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is Israel's longest-serving prime minister, [19:41] and he's already signaled his intention to seek another term. [19:45] Do you think he'll win? [19:46] I think anybody who bets against him should do so with some caution. [19:54] He's won a lot of elections, and he tends to win elections because Israel's foes, [19:59] not so much his political domestic foes, they tend to elect him. [20:03] You know, people speak of the war against Hamas or the war against Iran [20:08] as it's some personal whim of Netanyahu. [20:12] There is great division within Israel about whether Netanyahu should go on being prime minister. [20:17] He's been around forever. [20:18] I mean, like, you know, it's, there are people of, you know, people of, you know, [20:22] he became the head of the Likud in 1993. [20:25] There was a few years when he was replaced by Ariel Sharon after he lost an election in 1999. [20:32] But he's been around forever. [20:33] There are good reasons why, you know, in democracies we have some term limits or leaders come and go. [20:38] But the fact is, the policies that he enunciates about war and peace, they represent, actually, he's not a right-winger. [20:47] He's a centrist. [20:49] He is most, even his political opponents, they're calling him all kinds of names. [20:54] They like him. [20:55] They think he's, you know, they oppose him. [20:57] But the policies they're promising to implement are the same as his. [21:03] You know, so the question is, can they get a majority in the Knesset against him? [21:09] It's possible. [21:10] You know, there's a lot of Netanyahu fatigue, but there's also a lot of loyalty to him. [21:15] He's likely, the Likud is likely to still be the largest party. [21:19] It's a question of whether his allies on the right can get him to 61 seats in the Knesset. [21:25] That's a majority, as they did the last time Israel voted in 2022. [21:30] It may be, I think, right now, if you were to ask me to predict, you know, and I don't like to make predictions, [21:37] the most likely outcome right now is that it would be a draw with neither side getting a majority, [21:44] which actually happened four times from 2019 to 2021. [21:50] And in that case, Netanyahu will continue as caretaker prime minister. [21:55] It's far from clear to me that his opponents can get to a majority. [22:00] And if so, he will continue. [22:02] I mean, I don't know that he can get to a majority, but the point is, you know, he is personally, [22:08] you know, he's divisive. [22:10] People quite rightly say the, you know, that October 7th happened on his watch. [22:15] There are a lot of reasons to vote against him, but there are very few reasons to vote [22:19] for his opponents, not too many compelling ones, because they don't offer anything really [22:24] different other than a different name, a different face. [22:28] And, you know, a lot of Israelis still think he's the guy with the gravitas, with the security [22:32] experience. [22:33] And they blame the army and the intelligence establishment as much for October 7th as they [22:39] do him. [22:40] And let's point another thing about his responsibility for October 7th, which is real. [22:46] The fact is, prior to October 7th, none of his political opponents were asking for any [22:53] different policy towards Gaza. [22:55] If on October 6th, Netanyahu had said, let us go into Gaza to forestall, let's get rid of [23:00] Hamas in Gaza, let's stop this threat, nobody would have supported him, not in Israel, not [23:07] anywhere else. [23:08] So, you know, there's a lot of hypocrisy here when it comes to that issue. [23:12] OK, well, we'll be watching it very closely as we move closer towards October. [23:17] I want to get your thoughts on this final point. [23:19] Donald Trump has announced that he'd removed Syria from the U.S. lists of state sponsors of [23:24] terrorism for the first time in nearly five decades. [23:27] This is what Donald Trump said while sitting alongside Syria's interim president at the [23:31] NATO summit. [23:33] President, are you going to remove Syria from the state sponsor of terrorism list? [23:38] I think I will, yeah. [23:39] I think I will. [23:41] Why wouldn't I? [23:42] He's done a great job. [23:45] Maybe he would have brought that up in a little while. [23:49] But that's a good question. [23:51] Yeah. [23:52] Any problems with that? [23:53] I think we should. [23:54] Yeah, I will. [23:56] Can I get your reaction to this one? [23:57] Well, Donald Trump likes to, you know, have personal relationships with other leaders [24:03] and to think that he can make deals. [24:06] He, you know, his ability to work with people can transcend differences. [24:10] And there are times when that's true. [24:12] In the case of, you know, Jelani, the ISIS terrorist that is dressed up on the screen in [24:18] a suit. [24:19] I don't know that any sensible person really trusts him to be, you know, different, to be [24:23] a real U.S. ally. [24:25] Clearly, he'd like to get off the terrorist list. [24:27] He'd like to stay in the U.S. good graces. [24:30] He'd like, you know, the United States to help him in any way. [24:36] But this is not a very, this is not someone we should feel very comfortable about. [24:41] He's oppressing religious minorities within the country. [24:45] He's, you know, he's the guy that won this, you know, that landed on top at the end of the [24:50] last iteration of the Syrian civil war. [24:52] He's very unsavory. [24:54] He's very untrustworthy. [24:55] And Trump is giving him a chance, I guess you could say, to be good and to be a friend [25:02] to the United States and its allies. [25:04] I don't know that most sensible people think that that's reasonable or has much of a chance [25:10] of happening. [25:11] But I guess you could say there's a theoretical chance that he might turn out to be all right. [25:16] But, you know, I think that's, I think President Trump is probably making a mistake here. [25:22] I don't know how much damage it will do in the long run to give the Syrians a chance to, [25:28] as Obama said of Iran, to get right with the world. [25:30] But I doubt that this will have a happy ending. [25:33] OK, Jonathan Tobin, Editor-in-Chief of JNS, thank you so much for joining us on Power Hour. [25:38] Great to get your analysis. [25:40] Thank you. [25:41] Everybody's talking about weight loss injections because the results are so dramatic. [25:50] They work by lowering blood sugar and reducing appetite. [25:54] So what if you're looking to lose weight but not interested in painful weekly injections, [25:59] especially when you hear about some of those intense side effects? [26:03] That's why doctors created a weight loss supplement called Lean. [26:07] And the results are remarkable. [26:09] The studied ingredients in Lean have been shown to lower your blood sugar, [26:14] burn fat by converting it into energy and curb your appetite and cravings so you're not as hungry. [26:20] But listen, Lean is not for the casual dieter with just a few pounds to lose. [26:24] The doctors at Brickhouse Nutrition created Lean for frustrated dieters with 10 or more pounds to lose.

[26:48] Let's turn to the UK now where the investigation into the death of former Reform MP Anne Whittacombe [26:54] is being treated as potentially politically motivated. [26:58] Now police initially suggested that her death was not motivated by politics or terrorism [27:03] but they have backtracked with counter-terrorism taking over the probe [27:07] due to material found at the home of this 28-year-old suspect who is currently in custody. [27:13] Let's go now to writer and broadcaster Esther Krakow. [27:17] Esther, thank you for your time. [27:19] Bring us the latest on this disturbing story. [27:21] We know that Nigel Farage was blasted by the media for suggesting that this may have been politically motivated [27:28] and now that's being looked into. [27:31] Yes, I mean the details of this have been quite confusing because obviously this is still a live case [27:35] so there are limitations on reporting and what the public is just allowed to know. [27:39] The initial suspects, the first person that was arrested, I believe it was a 26-year-old white man [27:45] who was in sort of the vicinity, was subsequently released. [27:49] And I think, I suspect, that the police didn't really look at any political motivations for his suspected act [27:57] because apparently they found him with an item that's capable of creating blunt force trauma [28:03] so a big rod, basically. [28:05] So actually the initial rumours that were swirling was that this was a robbery gone wrong. [28:09] And it wasn't until his release and the arrest of another suspect, this 28-year-old man [28:16] that we're currently discussing now, that the argument of a political motivation came to the forefront [28:22] because it's alleged that he travelled hundreds of miles from his initial residence to Anne Whittacombe's home [28:28] and that is why he is suspected of her murder, or her alleged murder, more to the point. [28:37] So it has been a bit of a problem for the public to keep up with what's going on. [28:42] Obviously there's high levels of public interest in this case. [28:45] I knew Anne personally, and it was just horrifying. [28:49] You know, her agency, when they released the statement that she had passed, [28:52] I was actually quite surprised because anyone who knows Anne Whittacombe, [28:55] who's seen her in the studio, who has sort of actually interacted with her, [28:59] knows that she's very confident, she's very alert, she's very sure-footed. [29:02] The initial sort of details we were hearing about her death [29:08] was that she fell in her kitchen and hit her head, [29:11] which I found very strange because, again, I knew, I had met Anne on many occasions, [29:16] she was always very sure-footed, she was very confident, [29:18] she didn't give the impression of the kind of person that would stumble in her own kitchen. [29:23] I'll just put it that way. [29:24] So as more details have come to light, it's been really quite awful to learn. [29:29] But I think what I find particularly disturbing has been the reaction of many left-wing people on social media, [29:34] which I know we'll get to, but for me, I think it just shows the worst of humanity. [29:38] And I think it's important to remember that even in this heated political landscape, [29:42] we're not most of the time just arguing with people over, you know, [29:47] different visions of the world or different rights or anything like that. [29:49] You argue with people that think that you are less than human. [29:53] And in some ways, the value of your life is less because you don't hold their political opinions. [29:59] And I think it's quite horrifying to witness. [30:02] No, you're absolutely spot on there. [30:03] And it's not just people on social media. [30:05] We're also hearing some pretty disgusting language from mainstream media. [30:08] Let's just look how the media has covered the death of a conservative politician. [30:13] This is a queer environmental activist on the BBC saying that many people won't grieve for her because of her politics. [30:21] In her life, especially being 78 as well, I think that's quite a sad way to go out. [30:27] But yeah, I think there is a lot of controversy around how she lived her political life. [30:32] I'm a real believer that the values that we hold are the politics that we practice. [30:37] And I feel like it would go amiss to not mention the fact that she pushed against LGBTQ plus rights throughout all of her career. [30:45] I would also feel like it's time to say that she also said a lot of things about the victims of Harvey Weinstein during the Me Too. [30:52] She said they chose it upon themselves and she was vehemently anti-abortion, which in this country is not such a political issue in the same way that it is in the States. [31:03] So I feel like even though what's happened is absolutely awful, there are a lot of people who won't be grieving this. [31:09] So Esther, that is just some of the coverage that you get over on the BBC. [31:14] I mean, I'm quite surprised that the, I don't know how, but the BBC just keeps managing to surprise me. [31:21] And for our national broadcaster to put out this, I think it just continues to solidify this idea that our national broadcaster is too far gone. [31:29] I mean, these are the same people that tried to get us to feel sorry for Afghan fathers that had no choice but to sell only their daughters to pedophiles in order to make ends meet. [31:38] They somehow tried to spin that kind of story because apparently the rest of us have the word mugs tattooed on our foreheads. [31:45] So really, I didn't think the BBC could fall lower in my opinion, but to platform such a hateful point of view, I think really beggars belief. [31:53] There is, there should be no qualification of Anne Whittacombe, the value of Anne Whittacombe's life. [31:58] I find it actually quite disturbing when I see people talking about, oh, you know, rest in peace, even though I didn't agree with her. [32:04] Why does that matter? [32:05] Since when did the barometer of basic human dignity and the sanctity of life be whether you agreed with someone's political opinions or not? [32:12] That is the nature of politics. [32:14] Politics is a marketplace of ideas. [32:16] If you're expecting to agree with everyone or if your agreement or disagreement with someone is how you judge the value of their lives, [32:23] then you are a terrible person, regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum. [32:27] And I think this is the problem. [32:29] And I'm not surprised that many of the people that are espousing these views are left wing. [32:33] You know, 20, 30 years ago, these are the same people that would argue, you should respect my opinion. [32:38] And Stonewall used to say, some people are gay, get over it. [32:41] However, if you hold a different opinion, if you're a conservative Christian and you believe in the sanctity of marriage, [32:46] if you believe that marriage is between one man and one woman, [32:49] and that if, you know, the whole point of a marriage is not just the recognition of a couple by the government, [32:54] but it serves a deeper social purpose, then you're suddenly a bigot. [32:57] And I have a big problem with that, because how can we, how can we tend to live in a liberal society [33:01] where people cannot hold these kinds of views? [33:04] And yet these are the same people that will also somehow find a political alliance with Islamists [33:10] that would happily throw them for their sexuality off of buildings [33:13] and treat women basically like perfumed cattle to be traded and prodded and sold. [33:18] So I'm really deeply disturbed by this. [33:21] I think it shows a section of British politics and modern politics in general [33:24] that we really need to plunder and do away with. [33:27] And I think these people really need to look into themselves and find deeper meaning in their lives. [33:31] If they're so consumed by politics that they cannot find it within themselves to just say, [33:36] the murder of a 78-year-old woman is terrible, period, [33:39] then I think they're too far gone, quite frankly. [33:41] And it's a similar story over in the United States. [33:44] I mean, many people are still in shock from the sudden death of Lindsey Graham, [33:48] yet lefties and those who didn't agree with his politics are celebrating. [33:54] Absolutely. [33:55] And these people, this is why I think that they're mentally unwell [33:59] and they should probably be committed to an institution, [34:02] because I seriously cannot fathom it. [34:04] And I think it speaks to the dehumanisation of people in politics in this day and age [34:09] that people can't even identify with the fact that that could have been their uncle [34:12] or their father or their cousin or someone dear to them. [34:15] These people are not human beings to them. [34:17] They're just pawns that are supposed to have these views that they agree with, [34:21] if not they're terrible people. [34:22] And I think for politics to go down that route is extremely, extremely dark. [34:27] And I find it most disturbing that this is mainly coming from younger people [34:30] and people that are supposedly from the be kind brigade who want to make sure [34:36] that their environment is always green and everything is always hunky-dory [34:39] and that taxes just keep going up infinitely until we start paying 150% in taxes. [34:44] I mean, they hold such incoherent views. [34:47] And then to top it all off, they have such a dark, bleak view of human life [34:51] and the sanctity of human life that I really, [34:54] I feel like they do their side of the political aisle a huge disservice [34:56] and they should probably look deep within. [34:59] Yeah, no, showing their true colours, that's for sure. [35:01] Look, let's stay in the UK now. [35:03] Can you bring us up to speed on what Andy Burnham's up to, [35:05] his current tour of the UK and what he plans on getting up to, [35:09] even though, of course, Parliament is about to go into recess? [35:12] Yeah, so Andy Burnham is a bit of a giant nothing burger. [35:16] It's not a surprise because this man hasn't been in Westminster for over a decade. [35:20] When he was in Westminster, he was a largely inconsequential figure. [35:23] He's trying to tout the successes of Manchesterism as sort of a model [35:28] that we should be following nationally, [35:29] except he seems to forget that Manchester is in billions of pounds worth of debt. [35:33] The city is poorly run and nothing actually works. [35:36] It's like many other metropolitan cities around the UK. [35:39] So if he is advocating for a decline in sort of a further decline in public services [35:45] and public finances, then he seems to be on the right track. [35:49] The problem with Andy Burnham is he doesn't really have a mandate. [35:53] And as reviled as Keir Starmer was, he was elected by the British people. [35:58] He was given a thumping majority. [36:00] And he was the person that the British electorate chose to implement his agenda. [36:05] Now, however poorly he has done over the last couple of years, [36:08] he is the person that was chosen. [36:10] Andy Burnham doesn't have a mandate to do anything. [36:12] I mean, he's talking about reforming land taxes, which on some level I agree. [36:15] But again, how is he supposed to make that argument? [36:18] Keir Starmer's government couldn't even make modest changes to our welfare bill, [36:24] which is increasing exponentially to the point that we have record numbers of under 25-year-olds [36:29] not in education and not working who are basically being paid to stay home. [36:33] What mandate does he have to start tackling those sorts of issues? [36:36] So Andy Burnham is a bit of a nothing burger, which everyone is expecting. [36:41] I don't think he'll last more than a year in the job. [36:43] And then the Labour Party will continue to recycle its talentless pool of politicians [36:48] who are basically professional, useless people. [36:51] And we'll see the further decline of this country until the next general election, [36:54] it pains me to say. [36:56] Interesting. [36:57] We're already having time codes on how long he's going to last for. [37:00] Let's turn to France. [37:02] What's happening there? [37:02] Marine Le Pen is up in two polls. [37:05] She's expected to get between 34% and 35% of the vote in the first round [37:10] if an election was to take place this weekend. [37:12] This is, of course, despite an appeal court this week, [37:16] upholding a guilty verdict for embezzlement of EU funds. [37:20] So, look, a lot can happen between now and April next year, [37:24] but it's a pretty strong indication of where things are at in France. [37:29] Yes, and I think politically speaking, [37:30] it's probably the most relevant development in the Western world [37:33] that people should really pay attention to because if she is elected, [37:36] and a lot of evidence is suggesting that is the case, [37:38] despite the level of lawfare against her, [37:41] it would really shake not only the EU but the Western world more broadly. [37:45] This is a woman whose party won 10 million votes [37:47] in a population out of 70 million in the first round, [37:50] which may seem not very much. [37:52] It's only a seventh of the vote. [37:53] But you had basically a coalition of all the other parties [37:56] that banded together, [37:57] parties that really don't have very much in common, [37:59] and the Republicans, the leftists, all of these parties, [38:03] and banded together in order to basically manipulate [38:05] the second round of voting to keep the Front National out. [38:09] And despite that, and despite all the legal issues she's had, [38:11] she is still the favourite to win the presidency come next year. [38:15] We know that Macron has basically been a lame duck president [38:17] since he's had to shuffle through loads of politicians [38:20] to try and get together a cabinet. [38:22] But it really is quite telling that France is basically saying [38:26] we've had enough, [38:26] and no matter what, this is the person we're going to elect. [38:28] There are going to be huge implications [38:30] across the developed world. [38:32] And people need to pay attention, [38:33] because I think this idea that a lot of the concerns [38:36] that people have are sensationalist, [38:38] or they're being tricked by the far right, [38:40] are actually rooted in people's fear [38:43] that they're losing control of what they call home. [38:45] And I think politicians need to start taking that seriously [38:48] before disparaging people with legitimate concerns [38:50] and just blanket calling them racist [38:53] when there are real problems that people are facing [38:56] that really need to be addressed. [38:58] And if they don't do that, [38:59] then they can't really blame themselves [39:00] if people look for alternatives in the Front National. [39:03] Hey, I want to talk to you about Elliot Page, [39:05] a biological woman who has been cast to play [39:07] as a Greek male warrior in Odyssey. [39:11] Christopher Nolan was asked about this [39:13] and praised the trans actress Elliot Page [39:15] as a terrific choice and a great part for him. [39:19] Listen to this. [39:19] And I loved seeing Elliot Page from the first faces. [39:24] You see, what was it like reuniting with him [39:25] years after doing Inception together? [39:27] It was really fun. [39:29] I mean, Elliot's just terrific. [39:30] And I just thought this was such a great part for him. [39:35] And I mean, we had such a great time years ago on Inception. [39:38] It's nice to reunite with people. [39:40] I'm not 100% sure that everyone would be agreeing with that. [39:45] I mean, there's been a fair bit of criticism [39:47] and controversy over this choice. [39:50] But I think people look at it and go, [39:51] why is Hollywood doing this? [39:53] Hollywood's just so woke and it's not changing. [39:56] It's not changing at all. [39:58] I mean, the Odyssey is turning more into the oddity day by day. [40:01] If you told me a better way to set $250 million on fire, [40:06] which is what this film has cost, [40:08] I couldn't think of a better way. [40:10] I think Christopher Nolan has outdone himself [40:11] in literally blazing through hundreds of millions of dollars [40:15] in this, what is looking like a shambles of a film. [40:18] I mean, Elliot Page, this four foot 11 biological woman, [40:22] probably weighs less than a bag of cement soaking wet. [40:25] The idea that this is the best person to play a Greek warrior [40:27] is laughable at best. [40:29] The idea that Lupita Leong'o, [40:30] who is a talented actress and a beautiful actress in her own right, [40:33] is the best person to play Helen of Troy, [40:35] the face that launched a thousand ships, is laughable. [40:38] And to pretend like the audience can stretch their imagination so far [40:43] is a complete insult. [40:45] And he's talking about this idea, [40:47] well, he keeps saying that, you know, [40:48] it's not relevant, people's criticisms of his casting choices. [40:51] Well, it is relevant when you can't even break even [40:53] to a quarter of a billion dollars. [40:55] And this is what Hollywood needs to understand. [40:58] When you put all these restrictions on films that, [41:00] you know, with these big budgets, [41:01] that they can't even be nominated for an Oscar [41:03] unless they have a cross-dressing, you know, [41:05] Guatemalan producer on there. [41:07] These are the things that happen. [41:09] You stuff classic films with all these ridiculous, [41:12] you know, casting choices, [41:14] and you eventually lose out [41:16] because you sacrifice quality in favor of quotas. [41:19] And that's not how real art is made. [41:22] And I can't wait to not watch this film [41:24] because it looks terrible. [41:25] I can't wait to not give them my money. [41:27] I can't wait to not watch Lupita Nyong'o, [41:30] who is a Yale School of Drama graduate [41:32] and clearly has not read The Odyssey [41:34] or anything that Homo wrote [41:36] because she was in an interview [41:38] talking about how he would feel [41:39] about having female characters [41:40] or giving them screen time, [41:42] which if you've read The Odyssey, [41:44] women are pretty prominent in it. [41:46] So yeah, I just think this is Hollywood [41:48] shooting itself in the foot [41:49] and they need to keep going bankrupt [41:51] so that they can understand [41:52] that the audience has had enough of this. [41:54] Yeah, absolutely right. [41:55] Esther Krakou, writer and broadcaster, [41:57] thank you so much for joining us [41:58] all the way from London. [42:00] Great to speak with you.

[42:23] That math is costing you thousands. [42:26] Making minimum payments [42:27] means that debt will follow you for years. [42:30] That's why people are calling [42:32] American Financing.

[43:05] King Charles has met with Prince Harry, [43:07] Meghan Markle and their children, [43:09] marking the first time the king [43:11] has seen his younger son's family [43:13] in more than four years. [43:15] Joining us now is Louise Roberts, [43:16] Sky News contributor. [43:18] Louise, so good to see you. [43:19] Good to see you, Gabriella. [43:20] Massive royal news. [43:22] Such a big milestone, I suppose. [43:25] This meeting took place [43:27] at Highgrove House, [43:28] according to Buckingham Palace. [43:29] But it's interesting, [43:30] we don't have any photographs. [43:31] No. [43:32] I wonder why that is. [43:33] I think that's very deliberate. [43:34] I see this whole meeting [43:36] less a family reunion [43:37] and more of a test [43:38] as to whether Charles [43:40] can actually trust [43:40] his younger son again. [43:42] I don't think they'll ever [43:42] trust Meghan again, [43:43] but I think he's very keen [43:44] to build a relationship with Harry. [43:47] And the choice of Highgrove, [43:49] I think he's very significant. [43:50] I mean, this is Charles' private home. [43:52] So it's on complete lockdown. [43:54] He controls every aspect of it. [43:56] And don't forget, [43:56] this is where he used to meet Camilla [43:58] back in the day [43:58] when he was married to Diana. [44:00] So it is his private sanctuary. [44:02] So the fact that he wanted [44:03] the meeting there [44:04] and he was agreeable to a meeting, [44:05] which I think is significant. [44:06] The fact that he didn't just dismiss Harry [44:08] and Meghan and the children, [44:09] he did want to see them. [44:10] But it's a lot different [44:11] from having it at, say, [44:12] Buckingham Palace or Clarence House, [44:14] also at his disposal. [44:16] Highgrove is interesting [44:17] because the lack of photographs, [44:20] I think, is very significant. [44:21] Whether they're allowed [44:22] to take pictures on the day [44:24] themselves on their phones, [44:25] we don't know. [44:26] But given where Highgrove is, [44:28] the Royal staff [44:29] and indeed Charles and Camilla [44:30] know exactly where to stand [44:32] on that property [44:33] so they don't get photographed [44:34] by any paps [44:35] who may be nearby. [44:36] There's a public road [44:37] near the estate. [44:38] It's just outside of, [44:40] it's mainly sort of [44:41] countryside of Gloucestershire. [44:42] And if they stand [44:43] in a certain area, [44:44] they will get papped. [44:45] And if they stand [44:46] in another area, [44:47] they won't be photographed [44:48] at all if there happen [44:49] to be photographers [44:49] on the public road. [44:51] So I feel any outdoor activity [44:53] with the children, [44:54] afternoon tea, [44:55] playing in the beautiful gardens, [44:57] organic vegetable patch, [44:59] whatever, [44:59] with granddad [45:00] would have been done [45:01] in an area [45:01] where no one could see them [45:02] just to make sure [45:04] there wasn't a picture. [45:06] If there'd been any sort [45:07] of wheeling or dealing [45:08] behind the scenes [45:09] to grab her, you know. [45:10] So, I mean, [45:10] that's the prized photograph, [45:11] isn't it? [45:12] Charles with his, you know, [45:13] grandchildren he hasn't seen [45:14] for four years. [45:15] Yeah, it is very significant [45:16] that there have been [45:17] no photographs. [45:18] I suppose the question now [45:20] is what does this mean [45:21] for Harry? [45:21] Where is this going to go? [45:23] But I want to get your thoughts [45:24] on what you made [45:25] of Harry's behaviour [45:26] in the lead up [45:28] to this meeting. [45:29] There were reports [45:29] that he was demanding [45:30] accommodation and so on. [45:32] Yeah, exactly. [45:32] So this is not the behaviour [45:33] of someone who wants [45:34] to rebuild trust [45:35] with his family. [45:36] So first of all, [45:37] there was a whole [45:37] absolute schmuzzle [45:39] about him staying [45:40] at Buckingham Palace. [45:40] He was offered [45:41] the accommodation. [45:42] He did not respond [45:43] in time. [45:44] But the way his team [45:46] played it, allegedly, [45:47] is that he said yes [45:48] and then it was suddenly [45:49] withdrawn, the offer. [45:50] Now, this is not like [45:51] checking to a hotel [45:51] where you can summon [45:52] room service. [45:53] This is a Buckingham Palace, [45:55] which is a working palace, [45:56] but is having significant [45:58] renovations at the moment. [45:59] So you can't just [46:00] chop and change. [46:01] They need time [46:01] to bring staff in, [46:02] to bring food in, [46:04] security, [46:04] everything else like that. [46:05] And I think because [46:06] of the way Harry [46:07] was dilly-dallying, [46:08] whether Meghan was [46:09] part of the scene [46:10] then, I don't know, [46:11] meant that that offer [46:12] was off the table. [46:13] That became an issue. [46:14] And then, of course, [46:15] on the day that he was [46:16] at Chatham House [46:16] doing his terrific [46:18] Invictus work, [46:19] he got news [46:20] that his action [46:22] against male newspapers, [46:23] of course, [46:24] had all blown up [46:24] and he'd lost the action. [46:26] He was told that, [46:26] I believe, [46:27] just before he went [46:28] on stage [46:28] and looked rather upset, [46:30] as you would imagine. [46:31] He then blasted [46:32] that decision [46:32] as a whitewash, [46:33] which I also think [46:34] was foolish [46:35] because it's the decision [46:37] of the court [46:38] and the judge [46:38] who basically said to him, [46:40] you did not prove your case. [46:41] Yes. [46:41] End of story. [46:42] Therefore, [46:43] he'll be on the hook [46:43] for some damages now [46:44] and some illegal expenses, [46:46] I would imagine. [46:47] So, yeah, [46:48] that's not the sort of behaviour [46:49] of someone [46:50] who's going there, [46:51] A, to plug Invictus [46:53] ahead of the event [46:54] next year in Birmingham [46:55] and B, hopefully, [46:56] to see his father. [46:57] So his behaviour [46:58] in the lead up to it, [46:59] appalling. [47:00] And it'll be interesting [47:00] to see what kind of costs [47:02] he will be facing. [47:03] There are reports [47:03] that could be up [47:04] to $20 million. [47:05] That's a lot of money. [47:06] There are also reports [47:07] that the king [47:08] is said to be fed up [47:09] with Prince Harry [47:10] and some of the drama [47:12] that just always [47:12] kind of surrounds him. [47:14] And what has also [47:15] been fascinating [47:16] to kind of observe [47:17] is William's silence. [47:18] I mean, [47:18] there was no meeting [47:19] or no even really [47:21] acknowledgement [47:21] from either party. [47:22] I see William's silence [47:23] as a strategy in itself. [47:25] It was something [47:25] that was very effectively [47:27] used by the queen. [47:28] She would say nothing [47:29] except in an extreme [47:30] situation [47:31] where she would utter [47:31] a comment about a situation. [47:34] Recollections may vary. [47:35] It's the classic one, [47:36] of course, [47:36] after Harry and Meghan [47:37] did their Oprah interview. [47:39] But William is sort of [47:41] playing to what he's [47:42] always done, [47:42] which is say nothing [47:43] and move on [47:44] and be dignified. [47:45] He said nothing after Oprah. [47:46] He said nothing after Spare. [47:48] And there was oodles [47:49] of things that he could [47:50] have commented on. [47:50] Absolutely. [47:51] And even all that, [47:52] you know, [47:52] appalling narrative [47:53] about who's the racist [47:54] in the royal family. [47:55] Is it Charles? [47:56] Is it Catherine? [47:57] All while, [47:57] of course, [47:58] both were battling cancer. [47:59] He didn't go to war [48:01] with his brother [48:02] about that either. [48:03] Maybe, I mean, [48:04] Harry might have liked [48:05] some to and fro, [48:06] would have made good content, [48:07] wouldn't it, [48:07] for their Netflix deal. [48:08] But William has always [48:09] been above the grain [48:11] in that way [48:11] and doesn't say anything [48:12] because he is [48:13] the future monarch. [48:14] So Harry may have made [48:17] baby steps in repairing [48:20] his relationship [48:20] with his father, [48:21] but as far as William [48:22] is concerned, [48:23] absolutely no, [48:24] that is still frozen solid. [48:25] Yeah, [48:26] it certainly seems that way. [48:27] It seems that there are [48:28] no signs there [48:29] at the moment. [48:30] You mentioned [48:30] the Invictus Games [48:31] and there are reports [48:32] now that the Invictus Games [48:34] could get cancelled [48:36] despite the royal's [48:37] best efforts [48:37] to raise support [48:38] and money [48:39] for the event [48:40] during his visit [48:41] to the UK. [48:42] And wouldn't that be [48:42] a real shame [48:43] because I really believe [48:44] Invictus is Harry's [48:46] real legacy, [48:47] not the Netflix drama, [48:48] not the spare, [48:48] not the whinging [48:49] and complaining [48:50] and everything else [48:51] that his life [48:52] has been documented [48:53] by in recent years. [48:55] Invictus is a terrific cause [48:56] and you saw [48:57] the way he interacts [48:59] with the veterans, [49:00] the injured veterans, [49:01] the way he throws himself [49:02] into that mission [49:03] wholeheartedly [49:04] and it's a fantastic cause. [49:06] So I think he should [49:07] move heaven and earth [49:08] to make sure [49:09] he's not cancelled [49:10] if that's a threat, [49:11] a reported threat, [49:12] at the moment. [49:12] I believe one of the [49:13] main sponsors, [49:14] Boeing, [49:15] has actually pulled out. [49:16] That would be a lot of money. [49:18] The government in the UK [49:19] has pledged, [49:20] I think something like [49:21] £30 million [49:21] if they can match [49:23] the sponsorship [49:24] from elsewhere. [49:25] So that's the challenge [49:25] for them at the moment. [49:26] So I do hope [49:27] some of these [49:27] great British companies [49:28] step up and realise [49:29] what a great cause it is. [49:31] Because at the end of the day, [49:32] Harry's the ambassador, [49:33] he's the face of it, [49:34] but it's really about [49:35] the veterans and the families. [49:36] So I think that's what [49:37] they need to keep in mind. [49:39] The thing about Harry [49:41] is of course headlines are great, [49:42] they don't always [49:43] generate sponsorship. [49:44] In fact, [49:44] sometimes the wrong headlines [49:46] can deter sponsors [49:47] and that's what they really need, [49:48] good sponsors on board. [49:49] No, absolutely. [49:50] We have to talk about [49:51] Princess Catherine. [49:52] I mean, [49:52] didn't she look fantastic [49:53] at Wimbledon? [49:55] And there was a surprise [49:56] appearance as well [49:57] with Prince George [49:58] and Princess Charlotte [49:59] and of course [50:00] Prince William was there too. [50:01] But there was a cute moment, [50:03] a cute interaction [50:04] with Princess Charlotte [50:05] and of course [50:06] Princess Catherine [50:07] just looked beautiful [50:08] as she always does. [50:09] wardrobe [50:10] and hasn't Wimbledon [50:11] really become [50:11] a fashion statement [50:12] now for her? [50:13] I think, you know, [50:14] when you see her arrive [50:15] in the Royal Box [50:16] it's the marquee moment [50:17] I think of the event. [50:19] I mean, of course [50:19] seeing the finals, [50:20] the men's finals [50:21] where the family were at [50:22] minus Louis, [50:23] I noticed [50:23] on the weekend. [50:25] I always love to see him [50:26] because he's such a cheeky [50:27] little chap. [50:27] But I think Catherine's [50:29] elegance and poise [50:30] and the fact she does [50:31] get a standing ovation [50:32] when she comes into the arena [50:33] or she comes into centre court [50:34] and everyone stands [50:35] and claps for her [50:36] and she's always so [50:37] gracious and modest [50:39] about receiving that. [50:41] Doesn't want to be [50:41] the centre of attention [50:42] but she is the absolute [50:43] star of the show. [50:44] The beautiful [50:45] Roland Murray dress, [50:47] the red dress she wore [50:48] and Emily Wickstead [50:49] the green dress [50:50] and the suits [50:50] and just absolutely exquisite. [50:52] Everything will flow [50:53] off the shelves of course. [50:54] Some of it was bespoke [50:55] so I don't know [50:56] if it's for sale [50:57] or whether people [50:58] can actually order it [50:59] but yeah, [51:00] she just looked fabulous. [51:01] Stunning as always [51:02] in that green. [51:04] Finally, [51:04] before I let you go Louise, [51:05] a bit of celebrity news, [51:07] not quite royal [51:08] but maybe [51:09] a certain type of royal. [51:10] A certain type of royal [51:11] the Beckhams. [51:12] They've shared [51:13] a new family photo [51:14] as they celebrate [51:15] England's win [51:15] in Miami [51:17] but of course [51:17] Brooklyn, [51:18] nowhere to be seen. [51:19] No, [51:19] and that's the new normal [51:20] now for them, [51:21] isn't it? [51:21] To not have their eldest son [51:22] with them [51:23] when they do family events. [51:24] So yeah, [51:24] terrific England one, [51:25] 2-1 against Norway, [51:26] fantastic, [51:27] playing Argentina on Thursday. [51:28] I will be up watching it. [51:30] It'll be amazing to see. [51:31] So, [51:32] and of course Dave [51:32] David back in the day [51:34] scored some goals [51:35] which pushed them [51:36] into finals position [51:37] as well for England [51:38] and I just remember [51:39] all those beautiful photos [51:40] of Brooklyn in his [51:41] England kit [51:42] and in his Man U kit [51:43] and LA kit [51:45] and everything over the years [51:46] and it's really sad [51:47] that he's not there to, [51:49] football is their brand [51:50] really, [51:51] apart from celebrity, [51:52] that's how him [51:52] and Victoria first [51:53] got together of course [51:54] and it's been [51:55] seamlessly woven [51:56] into every part [51:57] of their family life [51:58] so it really does stand out. [51:59] A photo [52:00] which has got Harper [52:01] and her two brothers [52:03] and their girlfriends [52:04] but not her older brother [52:06] who I understand [52:06] she really misses [52:07] and who can blame her? [52:08] She's a young girl [52:09] and she would love [52:10] to have her older brother [52:10] around at those events. [52:11] It absolutely stands out.
