Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Donald Trump has unleashed on our here Donald Trump's atrator.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Look at the strap, daddy's home.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Just ri I'm back in Maryland now after a WorldWind trip.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Well, speaking of Donald Trump, he has unleashed a tirade
on social media against the seeing En journalists who reported
that the strikes against Iran only set nuclear sites back
by a few months. Yeah, for more, we're john by
entertainment editor Peter Ford Pete High.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
What's he said now, Well, Daddy's not happy.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
And this is because Natasha Bertrand, who works for CNN,
had the temerity to report the information that she had
accessed from the White House, said that the strikes on
the nuclear sites in Iran did not decimate them.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
They didn't obliterate them. They were severely.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Damaged, but they're still there and as you say, maybe
only set things back by a matter of months. So
she reported that and that has set President Trump off.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
And we all know that he's a real junkyard dog.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
He gets provoked very easily and responds very strongly. In fact,
this grab I'll show you indicates how angry he is
at the moment with certain sections of the.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
Media, CNTs, scum MSD is he is scum. The New
York Times has scum. They're bad people, they're sick. And
what they've done is they're trying to make this unbelievable
victory into something worse.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Now, even they admit that it was hit very high. Yes,
so daddy's having a bad day.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
And as you can see, and certainly C and N
are sticking by their reporter. They say that she was
simply doing her job and that is exactly what she
was doing. So any suggestion from Donald Trump that she
should and these are the words that he is she
should be thrown out like a dog, and also has
gone on to say she doesn't have what it takes
to be on air anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
See, he always.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Gets personal, you know, he always goes down to gutter level,
and that's where he loses a lot of points. Can't
really present a solid valid argument, and in this case,
I don't know what it would be. Anyway, if he's
got a beef, he should be having a witch hunt
to try and find out who within his ranks, who
within the White House is leaking the information.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Don't shoot the messenger.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Basically, I don't think we're ever going to be able
to have a serious conversation about Donald Trump again without using.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
The word daddy, speaking of big Daddy's King Charles.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
That's welcome.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
No, no, no, no, no, no, he's like a king.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, no, the biggest Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
But I don't think it's yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
I'm not sure it's the way that you said it
that maybe King Charles is your daddy.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Daddy. Well, he's the daddy. I think you find it's
freaking everyone out in here.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
He's Commonwealth daddy.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
Daddy.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
He is daddy of the King's Trust. We all accept that.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Some very special guests to bucking and Palace.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeah, used to be the Princess Trust. Now of course
it's become the King's Trust. Do a lot of great
work here in Australia, of course, headed up by Jullie Bishop.
But they had a big function at bucking and Palace
and George and Lamar Clooney were there. And I guess
the funny kind of takeaway now is this obsession with
George Clooney's hair, because, of course, in the recent play
he was doing on Broadway, he had to have it died,

(03:16):
and actually had to have it died pretty badly. That
was part of the character he was playing and he
hated it, but the first thing he went and did
was get it washed out as best he could as
soon as that play closed a few weeks ago. As
you can see there at Buckingham Palace, George and Marle
course both have their own individual trusts and Miles is
for women's empowerment and they work a lot in collaboration

(03:40):
with the King's Trust on certain projects. So wouldn't we
all love to be in there at Buckingham Palace for
that one? Muscarlet Johansen has cleared the airpeede after a
kiss with a coastar when kind of viral yet, Yeah,
kissing is a funny thing, isn't it?

Speaker 2 (03:54):
And isn't it?

Speaker 1 (03:55):
And you've got to be sure that you've got access
and permission to be doing it. And then it gets
into the question of on the lips, on the cheek,
what do you do? And there have been recent photographs
of Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey, who obviously are good friends,
and they've been working together on the new Jurassic Park
movie and at the opening nights they have been photographed

(04:17):
and filmed kissing pretty much on the lips, you would say,
kind of full on now Jonathan is gay, has a partner,
a Scarlet is married, and certainly, according to Scarlett, it's
a whole lot of fuss about nothing.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
This is what she said. Is that why we keep
planning lips on them?

Speaker 4 (04:35):
He's a loverpool guy.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
What can I say? You know, I'm I don't know.
Just we're friendly people.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
We're friendly people as long as you know the other
person's a friendly person as well.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Mutual friendliness is okay. Thank you, Pete.
