That Trump is like, yeah, they're welcome, but I mean, we can't protect them.

Why would I thought that's a fairly big part of the undertaking of hosting security?

I mean, listen, they'll probably get killed, says Trump.

Two days after Infantino said it's all good.

It's a mess.

Yeah.

Um...

Oh, yeah, there's one on running shoes.

This kind of comes up all the time.

I'm riding after running in the... I'm not going to identify the race, if that's OK, Emmett.

I just don't identify them.

It was a 10 mile race last Saturday with seven lads having run at a very respectable four minutes 30 per kilometre.

I only came seventh out of eight.
