9:06 pm
by his son eric, the brilliant ben leo spoke to him in scotland this afternoon. and in my take, at ten in an hour's time, you won't want to miss this. this is box office tv, folks. the huw edwards scandal shines a light on establishment media and the efforts of some of the country's highest profile broadcasters to defend the now disgraced bbc star, along with the sun. we called it out here on this program a year ago, and i'll be giving my final verdict on a story which has shocked a nation and rocked our national state broadcaster. and rocked our national state broadcaster . plus, the and rocked our national state broadcaster. plus, the most important part of the show your messages. they come straight to my laptop gbnews.com/yoursay and this show has a golden rule we don't do boring. not on my watch. i just won't have it. a big two hours to come, including that big trump interview. but we start with my big opinion .
9:07 pm
start with my big opinion. kamala harris has replaced joe biden in the race for the white house in november. so let's start with the politics. the positives. i should say this is a woman that doesn't have severe dementia or suffer from shocking cognitive decline like her predecessor. so kamala harris's brain works fantastic. but that's about it. while joe biden's actions were becoming increasingly confused and indecipherable, there is no ambiguity about what kind of president kamala harris would be as the person responsible for the us southern border, in which over 10 million people have entered america illegally since 2020. she will clearly pursue an effective open borders policy in the united states. now, why would that be.7 is the united states. now, why would that be? is it an attempt to gerrymander american democracy and flood the country with so many migrants that the democrats stay in power forever? is it incompetence with the
9:08 pm
biden administration having simply failed to protect their national boundaries, or is it philosophical? perhaps kamala harris believes that borders are a bad thing . if so, that's fine. a bad thing. if so, that's fine. but understand that is communism. welcome to the parallel universe that kamala harris inhabits. now it's patently obvious to anyone with eyes and ears that joe biden has not been running the country for the last four years, but whoever has has enjoyed the unquestioning support of harris as vice president, she owns the eye—watering inflation, which has made misery for ordinary americans . she owns the money americans. she owns the money printing, which has seen us debt spiral to the point where this once great nation is approaching bankruptcy . she owns the wokery bankruptcy. she owns the wokery in america's public institutions with primary school kids being told they're racist because of their skin colour , or asked
9:09 pm
their skin colour, or asked which of 100 genders they think they might be today. if harris becomes the president, she will becomes the president, she will be the wokeist president in history. don't take my word for it. here she is in action. >> i am kamala harris, my pronouns are she and her. i am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit. >> may god help us. her strange self—help guru act of incoherent ramblings is also enough to make you want to slash your wrists. take a listen. >> i don't know what's wrong with you. young people. you think you just fell out of a coconut tree ? coconut tree? >> but in our country , we need >> but in our country, we need you to be mamala of the country. >> and i eat no, for breakfast. >> and i eat no, for breakfast. >> 316 when you're in the mirror, you see, you think you just fell out of a coconut tree .
9:10 pm
just fell out of a coconut tree. >> mamma mia. and then there is the random and quite unnerving laughter. >> you think you just fell out of a coconut tree ? you exist in of a coconut tree? you exist in the context . the context. >> terrifying. if she wins , >> terrifying. if she wins, harris will continue the forever war against russia. now, don't get me wrong. the invasion was profoundly wrong. but trump, for all his faults faults, has made it very clear that he will seek a peace deal with putin. no such words have comfort from the belligerent harris. it's almost like there's an industry in america that profits from war. probably just a conspiracy theory now , i'm no cheerleader theory now, i'm no cheerleader of donald trump. i doubt that he's fit for high office, to be honest. he's erratic. he's. well, got a strange relationship with the truth and probably has a mild personality disorder. and i do wish that america had an option. like the heroic florida governor ron desantis, who refused crazy lockdowns and mask
9:11 pm
and vaccine tyranny during covid, keeping his state free and open with the same or better outcomes than places like california that locked down hard for the duration. plus, ron desantis calls florida the state where woke goes to die. my dream. but in life, you have to work with what you're given and the choice between the wokeist president in history, kamala harris, and the flawed but ideologically sound and economically sensible donald trump will be a no brainer for millions in november. why does all of this matter to you and me here in the uk? well, because the us president is our president too. given that whoever occupies the office is the leader of the free world and britain's closest military, diplomatic and economic ally, now mark dolan tonight will feature two interviews with donald trump's son, eric, part one at 930 and part two at 1030,
9:12 pm
just after the papers. and it's been conducted by my excellent colleague ben leo. now, we'll look forward to that. like father, like son. it's a cracking interview. i admired barack obama as a statesman. yes, i did, so shoot me. probably shouldn't say that. and bill clinton had his talents when he wasn't chasing tail. like hillary said, he's a hard to dog keep on the porch. but in this race for the white house, donald trump is the lesser of two evils by a significant margin. you see, donald trump wants to make america great again, or kamala harris will do is make america break again . is make america break again. your reaction? what is your opinion of kamala harris? do you like the idea that she might be the next us president ? the next us president? gbnews.com/yoursay reacting to my big opinion, a very old
9:13 pm
friend of mine, white house correspondent john christopher bucha, live from washington jcb good to see you , you're a wise good to see you, you're a wise man. i'm sure you're worried about president kamala harris as much as i am. >> i am i am absolutely ecstatic about kamala harris. she is a brilliant she is very forthcoming. she was a fabulous prosecutor. she was the attorney general for the state of california, where she went after people like donald trump felons and put them away. she is has travelled the world. she is respected worldwide. she is actually , the same generation as actually, the same generation as as your as your prime minister. and i think they will get along. i know he was over here a while ago. yeah. he's pretty woke to the white house when he when he sat and talked with, joe biden and i think we are we are thrilled that she has taken over the mantle and that joe biden. as much as i knew him, as you say last week, i'm a good friend, but i am. i love him
9:14 pm
dearly. but he did the right thing, the patriotic thing. he passed the torch, as jfk would say, to a new generation of americans. and kamala harris, who represents so much positivity, women, women's health, people of colour. and we do know what people of colour means. we don't have to make it up like trump says, oh, she black now? now she's black. oh, good. he's pathetic. his son, i have to say. it seems that stupidity doesn't fall far from the tree. he was very unimpressive on that golf course. and i know it's a good get for you. and i think the world of you and i love being on your show, and i'll never really give you a tough time because your hair is so god darn cute. anyway, we're happy to be with you.the anyway, we're happy to be with you. the weather here is 100 f, and i know over there it's not very good. so why don't you come on over, spend some of the election time with us, mark, and we'll go out and have a good one. good. a few good ones together. >> well, perhaps we can go to the hairdressers together. and
9:15 pm
you can mimic my style. but jcb, i will. the bottom line is here i. you know, i had a bit of a fight with former trump aide sebastian gorka just a couple of weeks ago. it was actually a video that went viral. it broke the internet because gorka said that kamala harris is only there because she's black and has. and i quote, a vagina. now. i called him out on that. i said that was sexist and deeply offensive. i was shocked by his remarks. so look, kamala harris is an accomplished person. as you say, accomplished person. as you say, a top lawyer. and she's now the vice president of the most successful country in the history of the world. so i will give you that. but let's just say one example. she was charged with policing the southern border in the united states last year alone, 3.5 million people entered america illegally. that's a fail. >> let's let's stop right here because i have too much respect for you to let you get away with saying something wrong. she was not charged with the border. she was not the border tsar. she was sent to south american
9:16 pm
countries, central american countries, central american countries to work with them to get issues in their country. >> how's that going? >> how's that going? >> capable of making it? making issues here. and what did trump do ? he stopped the legislation do? he stopped the legislation in congress where all these things must go through, because it would have been a benefit to joe biden. that's villainous. and he also throws out his epithets, the epithets he called kamala harris, the vice president of the united states, a bum. i know you british people don't use those kinds of words. you're respectful and i respect you. and i think that was just villainous. and i think what what gorka said is i won't even touch that . touch that. >> okay. well, yes, i wouldn't touch it if i were you. not if you were not. if you've got any sense on you , stay with us. if sense on you, stay with us. if you can, please. jcb because with me in the studio is a man that has shaken hands with a trump today. does eric has have his father's presence. >> he's very tall, let me tell you that. i'm six foot two. yeah, but eric towers over me . yeah, but eric towers over me. >> and did he give you a trump
9:17 pm
style handshake that you couldn't get out of? >> no. he was no, he's quite firm. he was a solid handshake. but no, he's a great presence . but no, he's a great presence. he very much looks like his father, although he's very eloquent and much more a softer aura than his his dad, but still very intelligent, very sharp on the ball, passionate. >> now, we don't want to give away too much because the interview is going to go out two interview is going to go out two in parts, around 930 and around 1030 straight after the papers . 1030 straight after the papers. but but tell me about some of the aspects of the chat that you're quite excited about. >> so i was trying hard to draw some behind all the maga stuff. and you know, he's going to be the best president in the world. i was trying to draw some emotion out of him. i was trying to drill down into the person and the father and the grandfather behind the political, you know, machine that we see on the news and in the media and he gave some touching moments about the, the, the incidents. he found out his father had been shot at the rally a couple of weeks back. he gave some great colour about how he was. i won't spoil it too much, but sitting at home with his children and he was watching it unfold live on tv. wow, he
9:18 pm
spoke about the loyalty of nigel farage, the friendship and how much his father appreciates that friendship, and keenly , j.d. friendship, and keenly, j.d. vance, his vice presidential pick. i said to him, did your father make a mistake picking jd vance? because this is the man who once called your father america's hitler. he gave some great background into the pick and also, very crucially, the comments from not just david lammy. our foreign secretary now, but a dozen of the current cabinet members who in the past have spoken very disparagingly about donald trump calling a racist a neo nazi sympathiser, a ku klux klan friend and so on. and so on. i read out some of those comments directly to eric trump, and he addressed them to me in the interview. >> oh brilliant stuff. listen, before you go, what's great about the interview? there's some political scoops in there, but also we see the sort of human side of donald trump through his kids, don't we? do you have the impression, having met eric, that he loves his dad, that he's fond of his dad, that he's proud of his father? >> i think donald trump is a
9:19 pm
hero to his kids, eric and don jr and ivanka and the others . jr and ivanka and the others. and i said to eric, it's a testament to someone's character, how their kids have been brought up , eric gave some been brought up, eric gave some colour about their childhood. he said again, i'm not going to spoil it because you can see in the clips. but he gave some information on how he was raised. the advice he gave him as a child, and how he's now grown up to be a very solid, hard working, passionate man who in his own right does very well. this guy isn't just donald trump's son, you know. he's a multi—millionaire businessman himself . yeah. himself. yeah. >> most definitely. well, look, congratulations on a fabulous interview, which i cannot wait to air at 930. and also 1030. here are some of eric trump's remarks about the subject of my big opinion tonight. >> kamala harris it's funny, the media was mocking her. they spent the last four years mocking her. and then all of a sudden you know, biden's forced out and all of a sudden she walks on water. it's really an amazing thing. and but generally speaking, in our country, you
9:20 pm
know, people don't trust the media anymore. they don't, you know, for the last three and a half years, they've talked about how joe biden was a vibrant, articulate, well—spoken, healthy man. he walks out on stage at a debate, and everybody realises that that's just not true. and they knew it wasn't true. but he walks on the stage and it just reinforces the fact that it wasn't true. they really realise two things that kamala harris was lying to them and that the media was lying to them. >> john, christopher birx, back to you in the united states, your reaction to what eric trump had to say about kamala harris, your new best friend ? your new best friend? >> well, i do have to say this. i live very closely to ivanka and her husband and my traffic for the secret service will warrant that. we couldn't get through our streets. and, you know, we're happy for her. i have to say something. you know, i'm a i'm a i'm an ordinary man. henry higgins. i'm a i'm a i'm an ordinary man. henry higgins . and i have to henry higgins. and i have to say, i feel for eric trump . i say, i feel for eric trump. i feel for him because he's got nowhere to go and he's wrong. he's supporting his dad, which
9:21 pm
i'm glad he is. but he's supporting someone where there's no he has no brain , no heart and no he has no brain, no heart and no he has no brain, no heart and no soul. and it's becoming very, very clear. and now the maga people are starting to turn the rock ribbed republicans, you know , the, the, the nixon ike know, the, the, the nixon ike republicans . they got rid of him republicans. they got rid of him a long time ago. and now with his rants, he goes on and on and says the most ridiculous things . says the most ridiculous things. i pity this country. and if this project 2025 ever gets through and trump is president, we are we you will never recognise this country again. and i feel for all of us, including you, because you have so much love for the united states . for the united states. >> well, i do, and we have skin in the game. and i want you to thrive as well. john christopher burr of course, project 2025 is a contested idea. the republicans are saying nothing to do with us. gov. it's a very sort of christian right conservative agenda which trump has rubbished. but look, you're entitled to flag it up. jcb because you're concerned that's what will happen if trump is re—elected. john christopher
9:22 pm
burr will catch up soon. stay awesome. coming up next in the big story , did the prime big story, did the prime minister, sir keir starmer, do more harm than good in his reaction to the appalling riots in southport? i'll be joined by a retired senior cop who will be laying down the law about just why we are seeing chaos on britain's streets. and by the way, how many of those protesters are, in inverted commas, far right? find out
9:23 pm
9:24 pm
9:25 pm
next. well, let me tell you a big reaction to my big opinion. if you think joe biden is bad , you think joe biden is bad, kamala harris will destroy america. she is, of course , his america. she is, of course, his vice president and is now the nominee to run for the democrats in november. she might even win. may god help us. but the emails
9:26 pm
coming in thicker , faster. mark, coming in thicker, faster. mark, who is a gb news member, has said, good evening mark. kamala will be a disaster for america, gene. will be a disaster for america, gene . good evening gene. how are gene. good evening gene. how are you? gene says mark, mark, mark obama is a smooth talker, but he institutionalised the deep state and weaponized governments. when anyone says all of government effort, which is an obama invention, then run for the hills. thank you for that gene . hills. thank you for that gene. diane is also a gb news member. so many gb news members right now, the numbers are quite amazing. she says, mark, what's the point of yvette cooper and starmer saying that they're giving the police more powers to make arrests during the riots and disorder, when we all know that they can't go to prison because they're letting all of the prisoners out of prison as the prisoners out of prison as the prisons are overcrowded, the rioters and the thugs know this too . diane gb news member i want too. diane gb news member i want you to be our home secretary listen, let me tell you that i'm genuinely concerned by keir
9:27 pm
starmer's approach to this crisis. obviously, it's a headache for a new prime minister to see civil disobedience , disorder, violence disobedience, disorder, violence on the streets. we all condemn the riots in no uncertain terms because let's be clear that a riot is not a protest . if you riot is not a protest. if you broke the law, then you lost the argument. i'm crystal clear about that. so it's horrific . about that. so it's horrific. and there are elements of the far right that are infiltrating these protests , hijacking them these protests, hijacking them for their own ends. and starmer's right that they're spreading hate, that they're toxic individuals who are very damaging and bad for the country. but, but but starmer has taken the path of least resistance by labelling anybody concerned about illegal and legal net migration as far right. and it's got to the point where just literally a matter of days since he made that speech, which i think he'll come to regret, people are now mocking him online. people are going on twitter saying , i'm far right, twitter saying, i'm far right, i'm far right. you know, i want
9:28 pm
to have borders. i want to have safe streets. i don't want people running around with machetes. does that make me far right? so i've got to say that when they laugh at you politically, you're in trouble. i think this is a major headache for the prime minister. but let's speak to a man who knows a lot about how to police the streets. i'm delighted to welcome former top cop and a legend in his own right. we spoke , didn't we, just a couple spoke, didn't we, just a couple of weeks ago about his new book and his amazing life story. so greg, what's he called ? there greg, what's he called? there you go. actually, there you go. let's just roll this back. can i correct myself? live telly folks ? correct myself? live telly folks? senior lecturer in policing at staffordshire university adam greenslade mr greenslade thank you so much forjoining us. what's your appraisal of sir keir starmer's response to these riots ? riots? >> well, mark, the book's not out yet but give it a couple of weeks and it'll be with you. but thanks for the plug, so, yeah, in terms of the riots, well, you know, it , unfortunately, you
9:29 pm
know, it, unfortunately, you know, it, unfortunately, you know, he's very, very, limited, isn't he? in what terms? he can do very challenging circumstances that we're seeing here. and it's the first well, major disruption that we've seen here in the uk for, for several years, at this scale, probably going back to 2011 when we saw , going back to 2011 when we saw, disruption across the uk. after the, the outbreak of riots in london following mark duggan shooting. >> yeah, most definitely. it's a difficult situation that the prime minister finds himself in. as i've said, there are some thugs, there are some agitators, can we estimate what sort of percentage of the troublemakers, for example, in southport would have been from an organised far right group on tuesday? can can we ascertain how many were troublemakers and how many were just protesting? >> well, i think that's going to be the work that the police are going to be engaged in as we speak. and in the weeks and days that come ahead, again, if we cast our mind back to 2011 and what we saw there is very
9:30 pm
similar pattern emerging now where you see an outbreak of violence in relation to a specific incident. and then we see further , dare i say, copycat see further, dare i say, copycat incidents across the rest of, of the uk. shocking scenes we're seeing now on, on the screen in front of us. and of course, again, you know , it has to be again, you know, it has to be remembered that that the police now, are quite challenged in terms of resources and, their ability to to, cope with, with violence on this scale, big time. >> does britain have a problem with two tier policing? do you think ? think? >> i think there's a there's issues, of course. you know, we have to remember we're seeing , have to remember we're seeing, following the austerity we've seen the last government have had a massive increase in police recruitment , the boris 20,000 recruitment, the boris 20,000 uplift to try and increase police numbers. and of course, let's remember that's led to a large amount of police officers being relatively inexperienced, quite young in service. and they'll have certainly never
9:31 pm
experienced organised, violence on this scale in their careers. >> indeed. well, let me tell you, it's been a privilege to have you on the show. adam, is there a book in the works ? there a book in the works? >> it will be now, i think after after after this plug. >> so consider it commissioned. listen, i wish we had longer. we'll speak at greater length in the future. but thank you for your wise input on this very complex and troubling subject. my complex and troubling subject. my thanks to senior lecturer in policing with staffordshire university, adam greenslade. interesting conversation. next up, eric trump. the interview part one. an assassination attempt on his and the role of the secret service.
9:32 pm
9:33 pm
9:34 pm
next. at exactly 10:00, i will be deaung at exactly 10:00, i will be dealing with huw edwards and the media elite who circled the wagons to protect him. that's my take. at ten, i recommend that you tune in for that one, but
9:35 pm
part one of our interview with eric trump, son of donald trump, ben leo, flew up to the trump international golf links in aberdeenshire, where one of the most concerning issues came up, the attempted assassination on his father . his father. >> mr trump, thank you so much for having us today at this beautiful course. it's my first time here and it really is. you know, you've mentioned before how glorious it is and true to your word, it is fantastic, tell us about the new course that's being built . how's how's it being built. how's how's it going? how does it look? >> so we want so obviously trump property and trump scotland. we want to have the best 36 holes on planet earth. and that's what we already have. the first course which we built about ten years ago. it's you know, tops the charts all over the world, golf digest, everyone you know, it's one of the best courses on planet earth. and the second course is going to be right there with it. and i keep telling everybody i go, i promise you, trump, scotland will be the best 36 holes on on earth. the construction is coming along great. it'll be open next year, middle of next yeah open next year, middle of next year. and it's, you've got to see it. the view's the biggest dunesin see it. the view's the biggest dunes in scotland. the biggest
9:36 pm
coastal dunes in the world. it's spectacular. >> is your your father going to come here and grace the opening of the new course? >> you better believe he'll be here. he loves it. he built the whole first course. i'm building the second course. obviously, he's slightly busy. these days, right? with, you know, trying to not only win the presidency but save the free world and, you know, get us out of the mess that this the whole western world, frankly, is in. but, now he's incredibly proud of it. he knows every blade of grass on this piece of property. he loves scotland. my grandmother's scottish. we obviously built turnberry as well, which is, you know, many say the greatest course on earth. and, we're, we're incredibly proud of everything we've done in this country. >> well, speaking of your father, of course, we're weeks off the back of that now infamous assassination attempt. how is he? how are you? how's the family? yeah, he's doing great. >> he's tough as nails. we need more tough guys like him. i mean, he's really amazing. and, you know , it was a scary moment. you know, it was a scary moment. i mean, i almost saw your father executed on national tv and the former president of the united states, and, you know, very well likely the future president of the united states. and you know, that's a that's a moment that no one wanted. but he's remarkable.
9:37 pm
you know, he hopped off that floor. he's bleeding. you know, he you know, fight, fight, fight. and, the guy's incredible. you know, i've seen that my entire life. and, you know, i think the whole world witnessed it, certainly over the last eight years. but they certainly witnessed it in that moment. and, you know, that's one of the probably most courageous acts of any political figure in modern history. and i was proud of him. i mean, they should never happen. it's crazy that it was allowed to happen. and you know, i'm proud of him and i think he's going to go on and i think he's going to go on and i think in, you know, november, he's going to win the presidency. >> of course, you always knew he was tough. >> yeah , but it takes a moment >> yeah, but it takes a moment like that. >> you know, when you're millimetres from death to really see what someone's made of and that now iconic picture with the flag waving behind him, his fist in the air, you knew he was tough, but did you know he had that in him? >> yeah, i knew who he was. extremely tough. i think when you when you're talking bullets versus words, that's a, you know, it's kind of a different, barometer. maybe you want to call it, but, you know, he's the toughest guy i know, and i've always said that. and i said
9:38 pm
that before he entered politics. and i think politics, frankly, only made him tougher and only showed his resilience more. i mean, they attacked him on everything. they tried to impeach him. they tried to take him down. they tried to destroy our families. what? you know, it's politics is nasty. it's. and what he's faced is beyond nasty. i think when you see all of a sudden blood running down the side of somebody's face and you know, he's on the ground because somebody tries to take his life. no, that's a different level of toughness. when you pop up and you keep going, right? fight, fight, fight. and he called me the next day. yeah, he called me the next day. yeah, he called me the next day. yeah, he called me an hour later and he goes, listen, nothing changes. we're going to the rnc in milwaukee. nothing changes. we're not getting there. a minute later than anticipated. nothing changes. minute later than anticipated. nothing changes . and, i have nothing changes. and, i have tremendous respect for him. not only was he a great father, not only was he a great father, not only is he, you know, my closest friend, not only are we inseparable, not only do i run on, you know, our entire family company and our assets around the world, and, you know , have the world, and, you know, have been entrusted to do that. but he's truly just a remarkable, strong guy with incredible perseverance and backbone and,
9:39 pm
and dedication to what he believes in. and that's making america great again. >> where were you when you heard of the assassination attempt? >> yeah, i was, i was on my couch with my kids , and, they're couch with my kids, and, they're sitting they were watching on live tv and i looked at on my computer for a second. i was working on something, and i hear the shots, and i'm very familiar with shooting world. i, you know, did a lot of that stuff competitively for a long time. and i instantly knew what it was. and i go, that's not good. and, you know, obviously the rest is history. >> how did you feel? >> how did you feel? >> oh, horrible. i mean, you know, aside from the fact that we knew he was bleeding for the side of the face because you could see it. you know, when you're wearing a dark suit, you can't see if somebody took a took a round in the torso. i mean, you would never be able to tell, right? it's everything's dark and then also there's a bunch of people around him. so we didn't know if he had gotten hit in the stomach. we didn't know if he got hit in the chest. we didn't know where it went in in the head and, that's a that's a horrible feeling. it changes your perspective. it changes what they think is important. what they don't think is important. people still are fragile, right? you know, people's lives can be expunged like that. and you're not
9:40 pm
invincible. and, you know, i think that certainly weighs on on him. and, you know, it certainly weighs on all of us. and. yeah, i think there probably was a different aura after that shooting. at the same time, he's he's more , you know, time, he's he's more, you know, kind of shows everything that's wrong with the system . if you wrong with the system. if you want to know the truth. right. the constant attacks, the relentless attacks, the problems that we have in the united states, problems the western world has. you have the same problems over here. and, he's damn committed to fighting those problems , to solving those problems, to solving those problems, to solving those problems, and to making sure that the west stands on its own and the united states remains a superpower of the globe . superpower of the globe. >> were you emotional? i mean, did you cry during the news? i mean , yeah, i cry your father. mean, yeah, i cry your father. >> i'll, i'll, i never i've never seen him cry in my life, i've never seen him cry in my life. i mean, obviously, i was, you know, it's a it's a punch to the stomach. there's no question about that. right? you're sitting there with your infant children on your lap, and, you know, they watch the nearest assassination of their their grandfather. you know, i watched an assassination of my father. you know, the country watches
9:41 pm
the near assassination of a person that they absolutely love, right? i mean, he got the most, most votes of any, you know, republican candidate in the history of our nation, and these are people who would walk to the end of earth for the man. i mean, they love him. they adore him, you know? >> so i mean, let's talk about the secret service. do you think they wilfully let your father be shot that day? because there was a piece in the new york times saying that one of the counter snipers was communicating by text with the local, police who said that they knew of this guy at least 100 minutes before the first shot was fired. >> secret service was with me for five years. they're incredible people. i know many of them personally. i've been to their weddings. i know their kids. i know their wives. i know you know, one of the females on the stage in that famous picture. she was with me for three years. she's incredible. she would have died for him in that moment, hands down, you know, no doubt about it, she'd do anything for me. there's no question she would have died for her, for my father. somebody really let that team down. that team showed up a couple minutes before the rally went up on stage. somebody really, really
9:42 pm
let them down, and they better. they better damn get to the bottom of it. i'm mad. i think a lot of americans mad. thank god for the people on that stage, but there's no question that somebody in the periphery made a big mistake. and almost led to the unthinkable. >> who do you think at this point? i mean, are you happy to give any thoughts or ideas? what does your father think about it? >> i don't know, all i know is, again , i told you i did a lot of again, i told you i did a lot of competitive shooting. you allowed somebody on a rooftop at 130 yards with a modern day rifle. that's like. that's like me making. i know we're standing on putting green right here, but that's like me making a four inch putt, right? this is not a hard shot. you can do what, a thousand out of a thousand times. if you're even remotely competent with a rifle. and, again, it almost cost america a former president. it almost cost me a father. it almost cost my kids their their grandfather, it can't be allowed to happen. could you imagine a president being here and not having the fortitude to guard that roof just. of course. of course you would. i mean, a boy scout would have figured this out . all have figured this out. all right, this doesn't take professionals to figure out. a small child would have figured this out, that, hey, you may as well have somebody up on that roof and they didn't. and, and
9:43 pm
we almost lost, a great, a great person because of it. >> just just final question on that. do you think it's incompetence or something? maybe a bit more sinister? >> well, certainly gross negligence. i mean, it's absolute incompetence. and negligence on behalf of somebody. and i'm not talking about the agents on the stage and i love those guys. right. they did the they acted immediately and they did the right thing. do i think it was incompetence to allow a guy to unger incompetence to allow a guy to linger around for an hour with a high powered rifle 100 yards away from a rally by the way, if my father wasn't on that stage, it would have been incompetence. i mean, you have 20,000 people and the guy's walking around with a rifle. yeah. that's incompetence. yes, that's. it's gross negligence. and, you know, they're going to get to the bottom of it, but i hope it's not something worse. i mean, truly. >> donald trump's son, eric, in the company of ben leo, part two of the interview, just after 1030, following the papers in which he'll be talking about sir keir starmer, david lammy , also keir starmer, david lammy, also nigel farage, his friend and harry and meghan. but next up, my mark menzies guest is one of

10:05 pm

10:06 pm
with a swedish accent. she's never been to sweden, she tells her extraordinary and moving story . so a packed hour. the story. so a packed hour. the papers donald trump's son kinsey schofield, by the way, talking about us news. but first, my take at ten. there's trouble in paradise, folks. another major star brings the bbc into disrepute following horrific revelations in the past about jimmy savile, rolf harris and stuart hall. it's now time for the bbc's face of news, huw edwards, to turn out to be a wrong'un, quite rightly, given that they are remunerated via a pubuc that they are remunerated via a public tax. bbc talent have to reveal their salary, but perhaps it might cut out the middle man if they also have to regularly hand over the contents of their phone and give auditors access to the hard drives of their computers as well. the huw
10:07 pm
edwards story is deeply chilling , edwards story is deeply chilling, and primary focus should be with the victims featured in the vile footage and imagery of which edwards was in possession a sick, depraved and wicked crime. the only silver lining to this very dark cloud is the squirming and discomfort of edwards high profile mates in the media, who circled the wagons to defend him a year ago, when the brave and bold sun newspaper and myself on this channel were actually doing our jobs, you know , journalism, our jobs, you know, journalism, i devoted six separate monologues to this story. no less. and i got dogs abuse for doing it . but less. and i got dogs abuse for doing it. but other so—called journalists like jon sopel and emily maitlis, stars of a podcast called the news agents, which is basically a retirement home for ex bbc lefties. well, they were absolutely furious about journalists being journalists here. is sopel doing the rounds in a set of interviews that will likely make
10:08 pm
for uncomfortable viewing this evening . evening. >> we now know there was no illegality . so what are you left illegality. so what are you left with? someone's private life has come under scrutiny who is now unwell . i come under scrutiny who is now unwell. i think it would be a crying shame if this is the last we see of huw edwards on television, when the allegations have turned out to be not that much , not that much. much, not that much. >> wow . maitlis much, not that much. >> wow. maitlis and sopel much, not that much. >> wow . maitlis and sopel were >> wow. maitlis and sopel were raging at the sun newspaper for reporting things about a powerful multi—millionaire broadcaster. something tells me that if it was a gb news presenter facing similar allegations, they would be asking the sun to do their worst. but there was particular embarrassment for a journalist that you may not have heard of, but who had a big job in the past. david yelland, the former editor of the sun newspaper, who not only objected to his former employer's pursuit of the edwards story , for which they've edwards story, for which they've been entirely vindicated , but he
10:09 pm
been entirely vindicated, but he seemed to indulge in a strange huw edwards love in at the time. these tweets are from july of last year . these tweets are from july of last year. first of all, he tweeted. well done huw edwards for all the work, all the service, all the years , these service, all the years, these grim days will pass . how lovely. grim days will pass. how lovely. what about this one? also in july? today is not the end for hugh. it is the beginning and the tweet finishes with love, hearts . how romantic. the tweet finishes with love, hearts. how romantic. but this one is my favourite. i wish huw edwards well. the sun inflicted terror on hugh despite no evidence of any criminal offence . evidence of any criminal offence. this is no longer, he says, a bbc crisis. it is a crisis for the paper. not really the fearless sun editor victoria newton has been doing the rounds on the radio this week , and on the radio this week, and rightly so. she has been very bold and very brave. yellen's argument was that there was no
10:10 pm
evidence of criminality at the time. well, of course he's right. but the vulnerable youngster at the heart of the story has slammed the star today, telling the mirror newspaper he felt groomed by edwards so yellen's staunch support for edwards has aged more badly than joe biden. he finishes with this zinger again from july, the end of his tweet. he says social media also needs speedy reform. so in maitlis and sopel speedy reform. so in maitlis and sopel, you've got journalists who are uncomfortable about journalism and you've got a former national newspaper editor who seems unhappy with the free, unregulated and democratic nature of social media. well, the man has form on this. after all, he participated in a highly unbalanced newsnight discussion about this very channel gb news, in which it was argued without challenge at all that gb news
10:11 pm
should be shut down. yelland, for his part, described gb news as dangerous, i guess dangerous , as dangerous, i guess dangerous, like the sun newspaper asking important questions about well—paid stars who, it turns out , well—paid stars who, it turns out, consumed material that involved the worst category of abuse of children. if that's dangerous, then i'll be dangerous. better safe than sorry. it must be painful for these figures in the smug, pampered media elite to see one of their own fall like this, and how they must regret inhabiting an echo chamber which saw them object to the idea of a famous , object to the idea of a famous, rich, powerful man on the public payroll being accountable in the face of very serious allegations which, by the way, were never denied. still, there is one plus side, given that they're clearly so fond of the guy, they will have every opportunity to visit him in prison.
10:12 pm
have every opportunity to visit him in prison . now, let me tell him in prison. now, let me tell you that david yelland has responded to these historic tweets, just this week. he has sent this message to the world via x. he said, i criticised my old paper's investigation into huw edwards but editor victoria newton is vindicated by the fact that he has pleaded guilty to , that he has pleaded guilty to, albeit totally unconnected, charges . there were issues with charges. there were issues with her attack, but the sun has had a mighty victory, one which makes children safer. well, there you go . mr yelland has there you go. mr yelland has been on quite the journey. i'm delighted now to introduce two thans delighted now to introduce two titans of uk media, former bbc executive and presenter roger bolton and john mayer, former producer and author of five books about the future of the bbc, including his latest, which is out now. how do we pay for the bbc? after 2027? john i
10:13 pm
would wonder whether some of my viewers and listeners will be reluctant to pay that licence fee, given the behaviour of one of its biggest stars. >> maybe, maybe, i mean, the bbc is damaged by this. they put the mental health of a presenter in front of the reputation of the bbc, and the reputation is lost, i'm afraid, on this one. i've never met huw edwards. i haven't circled any wagons around him. i don't intend to. i think the bbc has handled this incredibly badly. i will declare an interest. roger was my boss 45 years ago, so, you know, we may disagree, but, you know, we were once colleagues. so, yeah, the bbc has acted stupidly. look, the answer is very simple. once the answer is very simple. once the cops told him he'd been arrested, they should have got huw edwards and his lawyer together and said, look, we've had this information. what's your answer to that? and he would say, yes or no or or no comment. and what you then do is create a suspense account and put all of his salary into that suspense account until until the
10:14 pm
case came to court. and if he if he was guilty, he lost the money. if he was innocent, he got the money. but he didn't do that. they kept it secret. they kept on paying him and paying him extra money. that was pretty stupid. now my trouble is that, tim davie doesn't have a flat catcher. most big bosses have a flat catcher. margaret thatcher had willie whitelaw. you know, mark thompson had mark byford, as far as i can see. tim davie has nobody. it's a solo act. he doesn't have a journalist who can who can read the room and say, no, you don't do that, don't do that, don't do that. and as a result, i think tim will suffer as a result of this. >> roger bolton, a delight to have you on the show. thank you for your time. do the case at the bbc have a case to answer for their handling of the huw edwards scandal? >> well, they have a case to answer, but you have a case to answer, but you have a case to answer for the way in which you introduce this item. you didn't make a distinction between two separate events. one, the latter is the revelation that huw
10:15 pm
edwards was looking at child pornography of the most disgusting and disgraceful side. we didn't know that. the bbc didn't know that. so that's a separate instance. there is the incident earlier about with involved in the sun. as you know, the bbc suspended huw edwards, who then had a mental breakdown, who then went into hospital . and the problem we all hospital. and the problem we all have with this, if you're in the bbc, is when somebody is arrested , they may not be arrested, they may not be charged. what do you do? you have to work on the principle. they're innocent until proven guilty. on the second question about why didn't he summon or why the director general didn't summon huw edwards into the office and say, look, is it true or not? my understanding is that huw edwards was uncontactable because of his mental state and because of his mental state and because he was in a clinic. so the bbc is in this great difficulty. does it say, because someone is charged right off you 90, someone is charged right off you go, or do they say, actually there's somebody here who's been charged , may be guilty, may not
10:16 pm
charged, may be guilty, may not be is in a very difficult medical state. what do we do as it happened and as you know, the bbc suspended him and then they curtailed his contract and he was, the rest of his contract. it wasn't paid. now, is the bbc culpable ? i what i think it culpable? i what i think it probably is culpable about is not early enough laying out all that happened. but remember when it was told by the police in confidence that huw edwards had been arrested , not charged, it been arrested, not charged, it was told in confidence and the police asked the bbc not to say anything . the only thing we anything. the only thing we might finally say about this, i think , is that if you watch bbc think, is that if you watch bbc news over the past few days, their journalists have been just as tough as any other. the stories run at the top. i can't think of another organisation in the world that would investigate their own bosses in the way bbc news has done, and also the other final thing to say is there are a number of people who want to get rid of the bbc, who
10:17 pm
seize on issues like that, to this, to try and claim that the bbc as a whole in some way is full of people who are awful or whatever and etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, which is absolutely ridiculous. it's full of good people. it's some bad people, it's flawed. but it does try and tell the truth and represents a range of viewpoints, which on the whole, your channel does not. >> well, first of all, we can come to that at the moment. roger but i suspect the bbc may not have a case to answer in regards to its handling of the huw edwards scandal, because they were in a contractual bind and of course, as you said, he had health issues, mental health issues, which made it more difficult for them to proceed. however, the central point of my opening take at ten monologue is that high profile friends of huw edwards circled the wagons to protect him and condemned the sun for pursuing the story. do you agree with them that the sun were wrong in exposing these allegations around huw edwards, the face of bbc news and
10:18 pm
somebody on the public payroll? >> well, i'm not a friend of huw edwards. i have not met him directly, so i'm not one of those.i directly, so i'm not one of those. i think the problem with the sun's initial, initial story was, first of all, that they didn't specify the charges. so there was this general suggestion he'd been involved in something, but it wasn't specified. it didn't go to him to get an answer. the person involved, the young man involved, the young man involved, said that at that stage, anyway , that there was no stage, anyway, that there was no case to answer. the police then said there was no criminality involved. friends understandably, perhaps, want to defend friends . but nobody, i'm defend friends. but nobody, i'm sure the friends not his wife, not his daughters, not his children , rather knew about what children, rather knew about what he was doing, you know, in the room by himself with computer on social media. so to blame friends for not knowing something is difficult. and maybe they're naive. maybe they're naive , but it's not
10:19 pm
they're naive, but it's not dishonourable to stand up for a friend. now they have to acknowledge that what he was involved in was disgusting, and indeed, he deserves to go to prison. whether he's in a mental state to do so is another m atter. >> matter. >> well, indeed. well, i went, john.i >> well, indeed. well, i went, john. i went after the story hard with six separate monologues. i was encouraged by the fortitude of the sun in pursuing the story, the reason being that a he's the face of bbc news, he's on the public payroll, he's a rich and powerful man. plus, those allegations against him a year ago were never denied . ago were never denied. >> yes. i mean, i hate to disagree with roger, but i think the bbc obviously had an internal report on that £35,000 case. and i think they should pubush case. and i think they should publish that. they should have published it at the time, because if they found no evidence, they should have said, look, we found no evidence. the cops found no evidence. so it didn't go to any criminal charge. so that should be published. any other internal reports on huw edwards should be published. it's as simple as that. be transparent. don't hide these things because that's not what the bbc should for be
10:20 pm
management or journalism. >> okay . >> okay. >> okay. >> briefly. roger. >> briefly. roger. >> well, just separate these two things. the first instance is that sun's story is disconnected from the other revelation, the investigation. all on the first one led to huw edwards suspension and then leaving the bbc with no payoff and no thanks. that should be borne in mind. >> okay , listen, thank you to >> okay, listen, thank you to both of you for your time. first of all, we have the former bbc producer john mayer, whose new producerjohn mayer, whose new bookis producerjohn mayer, whose new book is out now. how do we pay for the bbc after 2027? and also the former bbc executive and presenter roger bolton, roger i do hope that you will return to the show, if no other reason than to help us achieve editorial balance, because let me tell you, mark dolan tonight is the home of diverse opinion and i welcome all of your thoughts this evening. okay folks , lots more to get through. folks, lots more to get through. next up, harry and meghan's first tv interview the oprah . we'll get
10:21 pm
reaction
10:22 pm
10:23 pm
10:24 pm
next. it's time now for us news with the queen of american showbiz, royal and political reporting , royal and political reporting, kinsey schofield and kinsey. good to see you harry, harry and meghan's first major tv interview since the oprah interview. what happened ? interview. what happened? >> i'm sorry, i have to hijack your show for three seconds. mark, do you mind if i respond to john christopher bupa about what he said about eric trump? nice. >> definitely. now he's of course he's a democrat supporter. he's a big old lovable lefty and he doesn't like donald trump or eric trump. so what's your reaction? >> i just have to say what a pathetic little dried up prune of a man. i don't know what gutter you found him in, but he sits on twitter and kisses the clinton family's butts like they are the arbiters of political morality. and i know i don't have to remind you of what jeffrey epstein's friend bill clinton did in our white house with an intern and a cigar. i don't know what delusional land
10:25 pm
bupa lives in or what he's smoking, but i bet hunter biden is familiar with it. >> like i said, this show is nothing if it's not balanced. let's take a listen. actually, to what eric trump had to say about harry and meghan . take listen. >> what i can tell you is my father had so much respect for the queen, as did i. my mom knew so many of them for years. i think you probably know that had a great relationship with diana and everyone else. and, you know, that's a very sacred kind of institution. and, you can happily have those two back. we'll happily send them back from america. you can have them back over here. but i'm not sure if you guys want them any more than we might not want them anymore. they feel like they're on a little bit of an island of their own. but listen, you can always have bad actors in anything. you can always have spoilt apples and in every orchard. but the institution of the royal family is, is beautiful. and, it's something that's really actually admired by, by a lot of americans. and, and i think they should be protected and, what's your reaction to what donald trump, his son, just had to say there ?
10:26 pm
his son, just had to say there? >> look, we saw prince harry criticise donald trump when he took a call from a prankster thinking it was greta thunberg, saying that donald trump had blood on his hands. that was years ago . we saw meghan markle years ago. we saw meghan markle described donald trump as divisive during an interview with comedy central . we saw them with comedy central. we saw them skip a meeting with donald trump, not once, but twice, when he was there in the uk. to visit the queen. i think that trump is a lover of tradition. we know that he has a history with the family, but harry and meghan have also been very verbal about their disdain for trump during the times 100 abc special encouraging people to vote for change, encouraging people really to vote for biden because trump was in the white house. that's change. so i think that, eric was very pc there. he was very politically correct. there was a kindness in his tone and in his explanation. but at
10:27 pm
the end of the day, i don't i don't know what harry and meghan thought , trying to go head to thought, trying to go head to head with donald trump, who is much a much more intelligent individual than both of them , individual than both of them, are harsh words, but many would agree . agree. >> what about the couple? the sussexes appearing in their first major television interview since the oprah interview . how since the oprah interview. how did it go? >> look, they are they're campaigning to have a voice when it comes to the online conversation, online bullying and how children should navigate social media. i don't know what qualifies prince harry to be a mental health expert or a first responder. as he says in this interview, he specifically told oprah winfrey that despite being a patron of multiple mental health charities, he felt powerless and was at a loss when his wife approached him and told him that she was having a mental health issues. i don't know what has happened since march 2021, but i can tell you that it's not a master's degree in counselling psychology or social work . if psychology or social work. if harry and meghan want to stop
10:28 pm
bullying online, they should start with their fan base, who spent a significant amount of the year bullying the princess of wales about her illness, >> absolutely right. i couldn't agree more. listen, before you 90, agree more. listen, before you go, john christopher bucha has direct messaged me. he wants your number. can i share it? >> absolutely not. i'd rather die in a fire. >> oh, my goodness, kinsey, we'll see you in a week's time. please don't do that. my thanks to the queen of us. showbiz, royal and political reporting. kinsey schofield. next up, tomorrow's papers. and in part two of our interview with eric trump, donald trump's son, we'll be hearing about his father's views on sir keir starmer, david lammy , nigel farage and harry lammy, nigel farage and harry and meghan. so donald trump's son eric next. and the papers don't go
10:29 pm
10:30 pm
10:31 pm
welcome back. now in just a few minutes time, very excited about this. i'll be speaking to a lady who had a health episode and suddenly had a swedish accent.
10:32 pm
she's never been to sweden. it's an extraordinary and very moving story. it's real. it's not a wind up . she's with me at 1045. wind up. she's with me at 1045. but first, tomorrow's papers . we but first, tomorrow's papers. we start with the sunday telegraph. i am a woman, says gender role boxer and also 24 hour courts to tackle rioters. courts will sit for 24 hours to fast track sentencing under government plans to crack down on far right's riots that swept britain today. ministers were tonight in talks with senior members of the judiciary about bringing in emergency measures after clashes in major cities that left police injured. well, of course, the prime minister certainly well qualified to handle a law and order crisis. as the former director of public prosecutions and a top lawyer, as he mentioned more than once or twice during the election campaign. what i don't know is what his father did for a living. labour war on landlords will make it harder to evict
10:33 pm
tenants, labour is plotting a renewed crackdown on landlords with plans for stricter rules on evictions and requirements for costly eco refurbishment, let's be hospital suffered outbreak of bacteria that can kill babies. the neonatal unit where lucy letby worked suffered an outbreak of bacteria lethal to babies, according to a leaked report in august last year, letby was convicted of the murders of seven newborns and the attempted murders of six other infants. a retrial in july also found her guilty of the attempted murder of another child. let me tell you that the telegraph had done some interesting work on lucy letby, and there are a couple of journalists there that think she may be the victim of the biggest miscarriage of justice in history. no evidence for that that i've got access to. but i think, greg, we might pursue that story and speak to the journalist that thinks that there's more to that than meets there's more to that than meets the eye. the observer now, writers will pay the price as wave of violence sweeps uk sunday mirror tv stars grooming
10:34 pm
victim bbc chief should quit over huw edwards sunday express . over huw edwards sunday express. secret agents hunting down far right rioters and daily star sunday. how about this britons are out there, brainiest on the bog. well, i'm always saying that to mrs. dolan. i'm. can i say i'm a genius on the loo? life changing decisions on the toilet, says the paper, more creative than in the office. it says your reek are brilliant stuff. thank you to the daily star for some much needed levity. it's time now for part two or our interview with eric trump. he, of course, is donald trump's son. the brilliant ben leo flew to scotland to one of the trump golf courses, the international golf links in aberdeenshire, to ask him about his thoughts on our new prime minister. the foreign secretary, nigel farage and harry and meghan enjoy . meghan enjoy. >> did you hear from our new prime minister, sir keir starmer, or did your father hear
10:35 pm
from him in the days after that event? >> you know what i haven't asked him. it's a great question. i'll report back. well, i've been over here building golf courses. >> you've been so busy i never i never asked a question, but, my father has tremendous respect for this country. >> he loves. he loves you know, the uk in general. he loves scotland. we've done so much here. and, you know, there have been times where he's been treated horribly and there's been times that he's been treated so incredibly well. and, you know, he's put his heart and soul into this nation, and i can tell you, you know, from a kind of presidential standpoint, you will not have a person who will be a greater ally to the uk than my father. >> the reason i ask about sir keir starmer is particularly his new cabinet. i'm not sure if you've seen or your father's seen, but around a dozen members of his new cabinet in recent years have made some pretty disparaging remarks about your dad. >> yeah, welcome to politics. >> yeah, welcome to politics. >> right. welcome to politics. >> right. welcome to politics. >> not least our foreign secretary, david lammy. he said he was a neo nazi sympathising racist sociopath and so on. has
10:36 pm
your father spoken to david lammy ? has your team spoken to lammy? has your team spoken to him at all, and how do you think you'll manage that going forward, knowing the things that he said? >> yeah, i don't think my father gives a damn. i don't think he cares one bit. you know, my father was saying it to win the presidency of the united states. he's in it to, you know , restore he's in it to, you know, restore america to the greatness it deserves, i'm over here building the greatest golf course on earth. you know, it's. i do wish that the uk would once in a while say thank you. you know, there's a lot of people who stay away from the uk because it's hard to do business in. and when i say hard to do business in, like punitively hard to do business in compared to other areas of the world, you know, we've built some of the greatest assets in the world. we saved turnberry, which you know better than anybody. it kind of fall into disrepair. we saved it. we put hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars into the economy. and then you have jokers that come out and say things like that, right. it's i can't possibly take that seriously, but i can tell you, he's not losing sleep over, over any comment. and politics is nasty. and you have nasty people in politics, so i take it all with a grain of salt. i truly
10:37 pm
do. >> yeah. i'm sure you and your family and your father definitely have thick skin. i guess the concern is from the british side. people who admire your father and obviously, of course, love our own country. if and when your father does win a second term at the white house we want that relationship to be strong and solid . and we're strong and solid. and we're concerned not about your father, but more about people like david lammy and yvette cooper, the home secretary, who have made all these awful comments in the past. >> i think irrespective of what a bunch of politicians say, you know, which they think will benefit them for about three seconds and get them headlines and the fact, you know, you're talking about this guy because he made some outlandish comments. had he not made that outlandish comment, you wouldn't be talking about it right? by the by default, he's winning because we're even talking about him right ? because we're even talking about him right? it's my father doesn't give a damn. long after david lammy. long after all these people you know are mark on on scotland, our mark on the uk. will will exist and will be very proud of that. he's the greatest guy with the biggest heart. unbelievable visionary. tough as nails, every single one of us turned out, well, hard
10:38 pm
workers. no games, no drugs, no nonsense. because he's a guy. so i'll just give you a little story. i went into his room every single day as i went to school and he always looked at me. he goes, eric, no drinking, no drugs, no smoking. okay, let me say that again. no drinking, no drugs, no smoking. you better do well in school. right. and so that's how we always went off. but he still calls us, you know, my boy. my boy. right. and he's like, i know he's a 40 year old who runs a seven, eight, $10 billion company. but he's still my boy, right. he might be old. he might have grey in his moustache. but, you know, he's still my boy. and, now he's an incredibly loving guy. >> how's your your father's ear, by the way? >> it's healing. it's doing much better . better. >> much better. >> much better. >> what do you make of all the nonsense online saying especially some sort of militant leftists who are saying he wasn't shot. it was shrapnel, you know, rubbish like that. >> it's infuriating. yeah >> it's infuriating. yeah >> it's infuriating. and then you have google that scrubs the search terms. you type in trump assassination. it doesn't even come up, you want to talk about a corrupt , awful world where a corrupt, awful world where they're trying to hide that because they think somehow that that hurts them or benefits
10:39 pm
somebody else, or whatever it may be. it's awfully sick. i mean, when, when you when your media is being censored like that, when google searches are racing history and, you know, kind of, you know , propagating kind of, you know, propagating revisionist history, the whole world sees it. everybody in this country sees it, everybody in the united states sees it. >> i did it yesterday. >> i did it yesterday. >> i did it yesterday. >> i went, i mean, elon musk tweeted about the fact if you type in trump rally into google, all comes up as kamala harris, you know how she's her reinvigoration from a militant leftist into , you know, this god leftist into, you know, this god that can't be touched. i saw it myself first hand. >> you know, it's funny. >> you know, it's funny. >> the media was mocking her. they've spent the last four years mocking her. and then all of a sudden, you know, biden's forced out and all of a sudden she walks on water. it's really an amazing thing. and but generally speaking, in our country, you know, people don't trust the media anymore. they don't, you know, for the last three and a half years, they've talked about how joe biden was a vibrant, articulate, well—spoken , vibrant, articulate, well—spoken, healthy man. he walks out on stage at a debate, and everybody realises that that's just not true. and they knew it wasn't
10:40 pm
true. and they knew it wasn't true. but he walks on the stage and it just reinforces the fact that it wasn't true. they really realise two things that kamala harris was lying to them and that the media was lying to them. the entire media and the distrust of the mainstream media in the united states is the biggest it's ever been, and that's why we have so many independent journalists who have been doing so well . yeah, you been doing so well. yeah, you know, people with their own voices. hey nigel's a great example, and i consider nigel a friend, but people with their own voice, who can just be honest. >> talking of nigel, of course, he's an mp now. he just won a seat in our parliament. he's still got a show on gb news. when was the last time you spoke to him? did he manage to speak to him? did he manage to speak to your father after the shooting? >> i saw nigel at the convention in milwaukee. >> i also saw him in iowa. i believe it was iowa. during the primary process. and, he's fantastic. last year he was at trump turnberry doing a great interview that was seen around the world. and so everybody remembers that interview was amazing. beautiful sunny day looking over kintyre. and, ailsa craig and, you know, obviously the most incredible panorama. have you ever seen. but, no, nigel has been a great friend
10:41 pm
and he's been a warrior and he's somebody we have a lot of respect for. >> yeah, i think he was, you know, back in the early days, 2015, maybe 16, when your father was running during the primaries. it was nigel who was putting his head above the parapet and, you know, trying to trying to tell people , you know, trying to tell people, you know, this guy is isn't what the media is portraying . and your father, is portraying. and your father, i guess, has recognised that . i guess, has recognised that. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> he's quite big on loyalty. your dad, isn't he? >> he's big on loyalty. >> he's big on loyalty. >> absolutely. he's big on loyalty. he's also big on people that have backbone. and very few people i've come to realise actually, really, truly have backbone. >> just quickly on nigel. he's just won a seat in parliament, so i'm not sure whether this could happen, but would you or your father like to see him? maybe in some sort of position or as an intermediary between your administration and maybe the uk labour government ? the uk labour government? >> yeah, well, i'm sure my father would love that in some way, shape or form. i'm sure my father would love that. but listen, i think irrespective, i go back to the relationship and, you know, forget about the comments you were mentioning before in terms of, you know, some random minister who says something nasty to get, you know, clickbait. my father, as
10:42 pm
commander in chief of the united states, there will be no better ally in the united kingdom , than ally in the united kingdom, than donald trump. i truly mean that . donald trump. i truly mean that. he loves this nation. he loves this country , he loves this part this country, he loves this part of the world, we're here all the time. we employ people in it. as i said before. and, he adored the queen as you mentioned before, he knows the king very well. he's. we've known the king for years, and, and, i'm telling you, he's going to be the greatest, the greatest president for the west. the uk has ever seen. >> just on the royals, of course . >> just on the royals, of course. harry and meghan, you've you're sort of taking custody of harry at the moment, joe biden apparently was protecting the release of his visa information. i'm not sure if you're familiar with the row that was going on where whether he lied or not about taking previous drug use on his visa, and joe biden was accused of protecting the release of that visa. if and when your father is re—elected, will he be open to pushing for the release of that visa? and if it is found he was lying on his
10:43 pm
application, prince harry, would he be happy to have him in the country still? >> well, i said, i don't know. i don't i don't want to get into the royals and, what i can tell you is my, my father had so much respect for the queen, as did i, my mom knew so many of them for years . i my mom knew so many of them for years. i think you probably know that had a great relationship with diana and everyone else. and, you know, that's a very sacred kind of institution. and, you can happily have those two back. we'll happily send them back. we'll happily send them back from america. you can have them back over here. but i'm not sure if you guys want them any more than we might not want them anymore. they feel like they're on a little bit of an island of their own. but in terms of what that institution looks like in terms of, the palace, buckingham, one of the most incredible places i've ever been. i've been to a few state dinners there, and it's beautiful and it should be cherished by this country because it's something that has such elegance and, and history and longevity , and it's such and longevity, and it's such part of the brand of really what the uk is. and, and i do think it should be cherished and i think it's beautiful. and
10:44 pm
listen, you can always have bad actors in anything. you can always have, you know, spoilt apples and in every orchard. but, the institution of, of the royal family is beautiful and, it's something that's really actually admired by, by a lot of americans and, and i think that should be protected. >> mr trump, thank you. thank you so much. >> good to see you, my friend. cheers. thanks. thanks. >> my thanks to ben leo for a cracking interview with eric trump, donald trump's son. a brilliant stuff . well, more brilliant stuff. well, more papers to come. the mail on sunday and the times. plus a very unique interview. a lady that had a health episode and suddenly started speaking with a swedish accent. never been to sweden. an extraordinary story that,

edwards scandal. alan, who is a gb news member, says the bbc so—called stars salaries are just a joke and we're paying them for what exactly? and their pensions? well, alan, you're absolutely right, pensions? well, alan, you're absolutely right , because pensions? well, alan, you're absolutely right, because huw edwards wasn't only just paid almost half £1 million a year at £200,000 of which was paid after he was suspended. but he's got a gold plated pension as well, which is reportedly worth. are you ready for this 300 grand a year for the rest of his life? who do you think's going to be paying who do you think's going to be paying that? it's you and me. we really are mugs, aren't we? for the privilege of owning a television set, how about this? the bbc need to do more background checks on their employees like the nhs does. dbs checks. i totally agree, you get a presenter on the bbc, you're going to have to scan their phone, do a full search of the hard drive, go through their whatsapp and just hope there's nothing nasty in there, how about this? let the bbc stand on its own two feet and not rely on the licence fee, says alan, we

also have, oh my goodness , let's also have, oh my goodness, let's have a look at this. huw edwards was caught out, so he played the mental health card is a comment from adrian. now, adrian, i don't have evidence for that. but you're entitled to make that comment. so a big response also to roger bolton, who suggested that the bbc was not balanced. this from jenni. sorry jean, i should say. jenni, it's jenni who's a gb news member. hi mark, that ex bbc executive obviously hasn't watched much of gb news saying it's not balanced , just saying it's not balanced, just spouting the bbc narrative that gb news is biased . it most gb news is biased. it most certainly isn't. far too many lefties get airtime, it's just that the nonsense they spew is challenged. rightly so. well, jenni, let me tell you the mantra of this show is, first of all, as you know , we don't do all, as you know, we don't do boring. i just won't have it. not on my watch, but the other mantra is that mark dolan tonight is the home of diverse opinion, and i love it when we debate stuff. and i love it when we don't agree, because it's more interesting, it's more educational. hang out with

someone you don't agree with. you might learn something if only they got the memo at the bbc, itv and sky. okay, a couple of other messages before we get to the papers, gary says i read the sun , so does that make me the sun, so does that make me dangerous? and far right now i will wear those badges with pride . i do will wear those badges with pride. i do think will wear those badges with pride . i do think that will wear those badges with pride. i do think that keir starmer is in a bit of a corner now politically , because he made now politically, because he made that speech after the appalling, disgraceful riots in southport on tuesday . disgraceful riots in southport on tuesday. but it disgraceful riots in southport on tuesday . but it strikes me on tuesday. but it strikes me that he's taken the path of least resistance by suggesting that all this trouble is the far right and is just horrible extremists and all we've got to do is have a police state and clamp down on them and slam them into the back of a police van. i don't think that fixes the problem. i think that what you have to do is understand why lots of people in this country are angry about legal net migration. we know the figures 700,000 in a year. the a city the size of leeds in a year and
10:51 pm
illegal immigration. people entering the country coming off boats sometimes running for the hills. okay, if you think that's acceptable, i can't help you. i don't agree with you. that is deeply wrong. people are angry about it. so in terms of far right reform uk, this is the mainstream . this is a mainstream mainstream. this is a mainstream political party. now led by nigel farage. 4.1 million people voted reform. are they all far right? i have my doubts. okay folks, listen, we're waiting for the papers. but i'm delighted to say that i'm joined now by a very special lady who has an extraordinary story. georgina gailey is pleading for help after she developed a swedish accent. despite never having visited the country. georgina's speech changed during a phone call with her sister three years ago and after rushing to hospital fearing she'd had a stroke, doctors diagnosed her with the very rare condition of foreign accent syndrome. i'm delighted to say that georgina joins me now. georgina, thank you for your courage and bravery coming on the show and talking
10:52 pm
to me. lovely to meet you. what is your good evening? what is your original accent? where are your original accent? where are you from? georgina >> i'm actually from hillingdon , >> i'm actually from hillingdon, middlesex. and so i've very much got a london accent. yeah, well, i did have . i did have. >> was it, was it like, was it was, was it a sort of queen's engush was, was it a sort of queen's english or a little bit of cockney london. >> what was, what was your accent. no i think it was very much queen's english, >> so, but it's nothing like that now. i can't tell you . that now. i can't tell you. >> when did you notice a change in the way you were speaking, georgina? >> well, it was after when they suspected me having this stroke and, i started to just speak. so differently, and, lots of pronunciations and are not as they, they were. so, you know, as time has gone on, it's become more acceptable where friends

and family , but people still and family, but people still just think i'm from another country. so, you know, i have to go day by day, but it is actually , there is some link actually, there is some link there with, f and d , which is there with, f and d, which is a functional neurological disorder. and it, it is not just the voice that has changed my, my, my coordination. everything has changed as well. and there can be, days when i have hardly no mobility whatsoever. there can be days i have no speech, but up to about 4 or 5 days. so ihave but up to about 4 or 5 days. so i have no speech. there is no, recognition of shapes of words. and as my speech goes slower, my mobility goes along with it, as does my thought path with my brain. it is much slower. >> and this must. >> and this must. >> yeah. georgina this, this, it must really get you down. can
