I mean, this is a this is the sort of late night, you know, comedian type beat where, you know, pretty much all bets are off and they make jokes about all sorts of things.

And and this was him talking before actually the White House dinner.

But in the in the light of it, they've kind of.

gone after him uh as they have done a number of those late night people um as opposed to just ignoring it really which is probably what you should do because it's late late night comedy i mean kind of who cares um but she she's really she's really amplified that it's it's interesting um

If you look at the footage from Saturday night, it clearly had an impact on her because you can see how shocked and sort of horrified she was before they were dragged under the table and dragged off the stage.

So it's obviously had a bit of an impact on her, hasn't it?

Do you know, it's interesting because, you know, on the one hand, you've got a lot of people, in a sense, correctly saying, look, the system works.

They got this guy before he actually did any damage.

You know, in that brutal sense, the people who are meant to take the bullets took the bullet.

In other words, the Secret Service, that is literally their job is to take the bullet.

if they have to.

But on the other hand, people are saying, and also it's worth saying that the chief of staff in the White House is convening a bit of a meeting this week with the Secret Service to try and review and to look at security when the president is at various events.

And again, this also happened after Butler kind of prays for the secret service, then also what the hell went wrong kind of thing.

You get both sides of the coin.

And I think that I think in some ways that's right, because, you know, I mean, it was immediately on my, you know, on my question on my lips on Saturday, you know, what on earth, you know, after everything we've learned, how does this man get within

I mean, 50 metres with two guns and a bunch of knives.

I mean, I just kept thinking, imagine there'd been three of them, right?

One of them would have got through those doors and it was down four or five steps and you were into the middle of a room, right, where there were two and a half thousand people and we were all crashing.

crammed together, right?

Absolutely crammed together.
