Hello my friend and welcome to Catch Up with Louise Makshari. This is the podcast where I do my best to keep you caught up with everything, every single thing that's going on in the world. No, I try and keep you caught up with the things that might come up in conversation with your friends or when you're out in the world, because let's be honest, life is busy and the news can be depressing and sometimes you just don't have time to be paying attention to everything. That's what I'm here for, my friends. I'm here to keep you posted, keep you up to date. I have an insatiable need to know what's going on. And along with my crack team of friends, I try and put that need to work and make it useful uh for you.
So there you go. Today is Monday, so we are talking news and there is a lot to discuss. Obviously, Donald Trump was in the country, so let's get into it. Good morning, Carl Kinsla. How are you?
Morning Louise. I'm not too bad. I have a head cold, but otherwise I'm fine.
Oh no, that's very annoying.
No. And particularly on such a busy week of news, there's so much to discuss.
There is so much to discuss. Um yeah. Did you have a good weekend or were you just sick?
I was sick really for all the weekend, but I did go to the circus last Thursday, so that was cool.
Okay. What prompted that visit?
I saw a sign for it in the chipper and I was like, Do you know what? I'd like to go well, specifically it was a Daredevil circus and they had like a monster truck and motorcycles and things. Did you enjoy it? Look for thirteen euro, yeah, me and a friend went. It was worth the evening out, you know what I mean?
Yeah. I took my kids to the Vegas circus or circus Vegas or whatever last year and um I really enjoyed it. Like they had that thing with the guy, I'm sure they had it at that circus too, if it was a Daredevil circus where they have a guy, excuse me, on like a motorbike inside like a metal sphere.
Yes. That was kind of the that was almost the pièce de resistance of the whole thing. Very impressive.
Very impressive
indeed. And they put a woman in there and they were driving around the woman on the motorcycles. It looked dangerous.
Why does the woman always have to be the one in danger?
No, so true.
Um, okay, well, look, we do we have a lot of news to talk about. So I suppose we'd be able to go we oh my god. Apparently my speaking abilities haven't kicked in yet this morning. Sorry guys. I was also at an event last night. I was at this amazing Dolly Parton event in the workmen's. Um I was speaking on a panel and it was just so magical. And so I didn't get as much sleep as I might have on a normal Sunday night. Um, but anyway, Donald Trump was here, and that is probably the biggest news story. It there were things that happened that we would have predicted and there were things that happened that we would not have predicted. How do you think it went overall, Carl?
Well, I certainly think Donald Trump will come away from it feeling pretty pleased. I mean, there was I mean, obviously there were protests in Dublin, pretty wide scale protests, but there was also that footage of him walking through Dunbeg, you know, through the members bar, um, down at his golf course and the chance of USA and four more years. So he will have feel felt pretty good about that. You know, he was there. It's so
embarrassing.
What happened during Donald Trump’s visit to Ireland?
Can we just acknowledge how embarrassing that video is?
Yeah, it's painful. Um, you know, obviously he was nominally here to um watch the Irish Open and Shane Lowry won. And during Shane Lowry's big kind of crowning moment, Donald Trump stole the limelight and announced that he would be removing tariffs on Irish whiskey. So, you know, that'll definitely be regarded by the likes of Michal Martin as a pretty major win for Ireland. Um obviously the big headline of Donald Trump's visit, and it's funny because last week. Louise, like you and I were kind of talking about what kind of visit it would be and whether there would really be all that much to say about it. We kind of knew like Joe Biden's visit will with all the pyrotechnics and going to all the different, you know, ancestral homes and stuff.
