Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now in the Brady UK correspondence with that's allo Inda,
Hey Heather, how are you? You'll have a bmive around nineteen,
won't you.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I actually don't know what it is. I know what
my v O two max is and that's the best
measurement of fitness. That's fifty eight. So I think I'm
doing okay there. But look, I'm forty nine, I'm six
foot three and away eighty five kilos and I'm a
happy man.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
What's a VO two max.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
It's the amount of oxygen. It's the maximum amount of
oxygen that your lungs can use in a minute while exercising.
And just as a guide, the guy who won the
Tour de France would maybe hit seventy nine to eighty yep,
and I'm fifty eight, soh anyway, let's see how many
marathon medals he has.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Well, that's right, that's right, Indi. You just be happy
with you now, Okay, what did you think of Milania's outfit?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Do you know what? I would love to meet this woman?
I wouldn't I wouldn't mind interviewing her. Obviously that's probably
never going to happen, but I'd love to just have
a beer with her or a glass of wine and chat.
I think she has seen everything, knows everything. She is
one of the most intriguing women in the world. The outfit. Yeah,
I hear arguments for and against, but I think it
(01:05):
has all gone swimmingly well so far. Today's the big test.
Why press conference? So if you notice President Trump has
not been exposed to any members of the press or
the public yet. He's met nobody apart from soldiers and
the royal family. That's it. And I'm guessing servants at
Windsor Castle and some Americans in the American embassy. He
(01:27):
has not been exposed to the British press yet. So
today is a big, big day. There's bilateral meeting with
kir Starmer at checkers out in buckingham Shire, so that
will all be about trade deals and whatever little crumbs
off the American blanket we can hoover up here and
then there will be a news conference and that's when
it's going to get interesting.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
But this will be tightly controlled, won't it, In the
way that it often is with visiting dignitaries. You get
about three questions and that's about the extinct of it.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I think they'll do their absolute best to control it.
I think they'll keep it super short, like they did
with the Putin press conference in Alaska after that meeting
with Trump. But you know, this is the UK press
that President Trump is going to be exposed to first,
and foremost people will be asking questions about Peter Mandelsson
and Jeffrey Epstein, and then I think if people wanted
(02:15):
to be really troublesome. Trump is very good friends with
Nigel Farage and he is running away with the polls
at the moment, and I think it would be really
awkward if someone were to ask him a question and say,
mister President, do you think your friend Nigel Farage will
be Prime Minister here in four years time? That could
get interesting because he clearly likes Forage. They get on,
(02:36):
there is a relationship, and Forage actually fancied being the
UK ambassador to the United States when Trump won, and
obviously that was never going to happen. And now for
Age's ambitions. He's not going to be happy with being
an ambassador. He wants to be in number ten. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Interesting, Okay, how's the public feeling about how thick Stama
is laying it on.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I think it's sticking a little bit for a lot
of people because it's just so much, you know, it's
the biggest state visit ever. We're told in living memory.
More music, more military, more soldiers, more aircraft, just more
and more and more. And it's like someone typed into
AI what would Trump like when he comes to England,
and that's what they've done. It's just like off the scale.
(03:21):
So I think the average person thinks that, you know,
perhaps it's a little bit too much. But I think
if you look at the relationship, look up where the
UK is right now, absolutely desperate for trade deals, no
growth in the economy whatsoever. Brexit has absolutely destroyed this
country and Britain is very much afloat on the edge
(03:41):
of Europe. France is on the brink of going bust,
the Germans have no growth whatsoever. Starmer's doing his absolute
best and I think this was the UK's trump card,
no pun intended.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Okay, Now on the recognition of the Palestinian state. That's
happening this weekend is it as.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Soon as Trump leaves. So that's not happening today. It's
being very carefully core choreographed this weekend time wise, So
there's the UN General Assembly next week and as soon
as the Trumps are out of town tomorrow tonight and
then there will be work on this tomorrow expecting announcement
Saturday afternoon. Keir Starmer is going to recognize Palestinian statehood
(04:19):
and this is huge. Next week so you will have Britain, France,
Canada and Australia all heading to the UN General Assembly
and recognizing Palestinian statehood. This has never happened before in
the UK. I think there's such feeling on the streets
now that Israel has just done so much damage and
killed so many people in Gaza, and yes the hostages
have to come home, but the scale of the response
(04:42):
has just been so disproportionate that people will back this.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yeah, Inda, thank you so much. Appreciate you time, mate,
look after yourself. That's into Brady, our UK correspondent.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
For more from hither, Duke Lassy Alan Drive listen live
to news talks it'd be from four pm weekdays, or
