It's going to be one of two.

I'll probably say Daniel Lennon.

Louise Byrne, what has Bertie O'Hearn been saying about his controversial comments that were recorded on a doorstep during a canvas in Dublin Central?

Thank you very much for joining us here on The Last Word.

No, and you would expect him to be a lot more shook because this is not the first time there's been an attempt like this.

And I mean, he was doing the press conference and one journalist and it was actually a remarkable scene because all the journalists were sitting there in their ball gowns and their tuxedos.

And, you know, and fair play to Katrina and to the other journalists who immediately sprung into action and started working, by the way, because that is a remarkable, it's remarkable public service journalism and fair play to them.

But they were in the press room in the White House with President Trump.

Yeah.

And I imagine.

But he one journalist said to him and he was like, I'm not saying this in a disrespectful way, Mr. President, but why do you think this keeps happening to you?

And he was saying, well, like, if you think of all the other presidents, as myself and Fergus were saying, he actually was failing to remember their names.

But he was like, you know, Lincoln and all these people.

He was like, I'm not saying it's an honour, but like, you know, you know, it just goes to show how much good work I'm doing.

And.

You know, and anyone who there was an assassination attempt or, you know, an excess successful assassination on what we're like doing really good work.

So like, you know, it's not an honor, but so he doesn't seem moved by it at all.

And I think in a way that's actually quite scary because it just goes to show how normalized things are becoming in America.

Yeah, God love King Charles.

He's heading to the States for a state visit.
