Justin Webb

Because he had pivoted pretty quickly in what he was saying in those clips that we heard there. And this was him talking about an hour after he'd been whisked out of the ballroom in the Hilton Hotel. And he's talking about his own ballroom again, which has been controversial. Many Americasters will know the east wing of the White House was knocked down, which came as a surprise to a lot of people, so that he can build this really large ballroom, which many people think swamps the White House. It's out of scale with the rest of the building. And it seems to get bigger every time...

ja uusia tehtäviä tulee. Se on hyvin kontroversiaalista. Ja turvallisuus on käytetty aina syy, miksi hän täytyy tehdä tätä. Hän laittaa turvallisuuden ympäristöön. Hän sanoo, että turvallisuus ja sotilas edistävät, että presidentti on paremmin vahvistunut tilanteesta ja asioita ympäristössä. Ja nyt hän on voinut sanoa, että hän ei tarvitse mennä Hiltonissa tai muissa hotellipalveluissa, jos hänellä olisi oma palvelu. Hän alkoi käyttää tätä hyvin nopeasti, jotta hän voisi tehdä poliittisen argumentin omaa rakentamistaan.

Yeah, and it's hard to know whether it does genuinely increase the danger to them and motivate people to want to do that, or whether both things are happening at once. Because Donald Trump is such a polarizing figure, people are using very extreme language about him when they talk about him, and some people seem to be motivated to try.

koska kuten sanoimme, tämä on kolmas todellinen yrittäjä elämässä hänen elämänsä vähemmän kuin kaksi vuotta. Yksi asia, joka mielestäni oli erittäin vaikuttavaa, oli se, että Erika Kirk oli tässä tapahtumassa, ja hän oli todella näkymättömänä tästä, ja hän on Charlie Kirkin tyyppi, oikea-arvoinen influenssari, joka meni Turning Point USA,

bringing young people to the MAGA movement. And he, of course, was assassinated at a university event in Arizona, guess what, just less than a year ago or so. And no wonder, you know, she was very, very shaken up by that. She had seen on television her husband being assassinated by a gunman. But it does bring home to you, yes, that actually the threat in American life at the moment does seem to be against right-wing figures, rather than as you maybe more traditionally think.

that it would be people on the right who have access to guns and who might try and assassinate political rivals. There is a very, very unfortunate trend of any political violence, but it does seem to be being directed at right-wing figures right now.

Well, yes. And I think, you know, we are living in a time of particular turmoil that is inspiring some people towards violence. And of course, we have discussed many times the access that there are to guns in America. The fact that it just does feel like a fundamentally more violent society, that people are more motivated to take things into their own hands, to take some kind of action, whether it's against senior political figures or whether it's against people in their own neighborhoods. We've seen people being shot at protests, all kinds of ways in which political violence resists.

Mutta se ei ole aivan uutta. Minä olin reflektoinut siitä, että sinä tiedät, Justin, koska sinä elit Washingtonissa pitkän ajan myös. Tämä erityinen Hilton-hotelli, jossa White House-korrespondentin yö on aina olemassa, on yksi monista Hilton-hotellista Washingtonissa, joten se on koko ajan kutsuttu Hinkley-Hiltonin. Se on se, mitä me aina suosittelemme, ja se on kutsuttu sellaiseen.

John Hinckleyin, joka tappoi Ronaldin Reaganin, kun hän jäi tuohon hotelliin vuonna 1981. Ronald Reagan oli juuri syötynyt, hän ei ollut väärin syötynyt, vaikka hän pitäisi olla otettu syötyyn myöhemmin. Ihmiset ovat olleet syötäneet amerikkalaisista presidentista melko pitkän ajan. Se on se, mitä Donald Trump teki, kun hän sanoi, että se on vaikeampaa kuin olemaan rauhassa tai rauhassa.

olisit enemmän todennäköisempi, koska se on ollut pitkällä aikavälillä yksi työtä, kuten Abraham Lincoln.

And he's been amazing actually. He's very brave actually. And he's a friend of mine for a long time. So he's coming and we're going to have a great time. And he represents his nation like nobody else can do it. Interestingly, when I was in Washington last week talking to people about the arrangements for this, and they said it's going to be more secure around the king than he will be used to, because at public events he and the queen are used to getting much closer to the public than any American president is ever allowed to by the

secret service, so they're planning some events in New York, in Virginia, where he will be able to meet people much more closely than he will be when he is with President Trump, because a lot of that will happen inside the White House, inside the secure grounds there.

Ja vielä yksi mahdollisuus Donaldun huomioon, että hänellä ei ole valmistelua, koska heillä on paljon pienempi valtioalue, kuin hän olisi halunnut, jos he olisivat kaivaneet alueelle. Yleisesti White Housella, jos haluaa olla iso valtioalue, he laittavat markkia, mutta presidentti Trumpi ei anna antaa valmistelua alueelle, joten heillä on valmisteltava valtioalue alueelle.

Throughout which he will complain that it would be much, much better if he had his big, beautiful, secure ballroom. I'm sure the king is looking forward to it all. With that, Sarah, we'd probably better go. Bye bye. Bye.

How do you think the President's criticisms of the Pope will affect his support in America and polling in the midterms?

Taking this a step further, J.D.

Vance is a Catholic and his faith is very important to him.

If things between the White House and the Vatican continue to deteriorate,

Who do you think Vance will side with, his political or his spiritual leader?

And when it comes to him and his way of governing, and we've been using the word chaos, does that matter to them?
