9:37 am
actually at her concession speech in washington, and it was, you know, it was it was pretty hard . it was, you know, pretty hard. it was, you know, there was a lot of very upset people there, as there always is. you know, one side is always going to win. one side is always going to win. one side is always going to win. one side is always going to lose an election. and those who voted for trump are feeling pretty good. those who didn't are feeling pretty rough. >> so pablo, what do you make of the reaction following the election result in the us? i was there over the last few days and i was watching the view, which is this very liberal. it's our version of loose women. if anyone at home doesn't know what it is, and they were saying, why did all the latinos , for did all the latinos, for example, in texas, vote for donald trump? you know, he's racist. he's this he's that. he's a misogynist. and they said, well, it must be because the latinos are racist and misogynistic as well. what would you make of that kind of reaction ? reaction? >> i don't think anyone that voted for donald trump is racist or sexist, but i do think that they decided that it wasn't a deal breaker. and i think we have to confront that, and we have to confront that, and we have to confront that, and we have to we have to confront what that means. there is a lot of people who voted for donald
9:38 am
trump , despite everything that trump, despite everything that he had said and done. you know, in his first term and since 2016, but also on this campaign trail , some 2016, but also on this campaign trail, some of the things that happened, you know, were quite extraordinary. and you know, there is an awful lot of conversation about, you know, maybe kamala harris didn't have the right policies, or maybe donald trump had more of this or less of that. and, you know, kamala harris did talk about her economic plans whilst trump was raving and masturbating a microphone stand. so i there are a lot of questions that we need to sort of grapple with on both sides of the debate. i don't think it's as simple as just saying, well, this group of people felt this way or are or are not racist. there are an awful lot of soul searching that needs to be done in america. but this is, of course, the second time that america has rejected an overqualified woman. and i you know, i find that profoundly disappointing. >> oh, come on, pablo , listen, >> oh, come on, pablo, listen, i've heard a lot of people say it's because she's black or because she's a woman. black males voted for donald trump in their droves. lots of black women voted for donald trump . women voted for donald trump. it's nothing to do with it, i think. do you not think that
9:39 am
perhaps they looked at the state of the united states and the fact that they were they were almost hoodwinked, or they tried to hoodwink them with joe biden and thought, we don't want the same again . when i listened to same again. when i listened to reports, i hear people talking about the economy literally as the first thing. i don't hear them say. it's because she's black or because she's a woman. but do you genuinely believe that? >> again, i think it's a i think it's a mix. i think i think it would be a real mistake to pretend that there is not both racism and sexism at play here, but if it had been michelle obama, no doubt. >> but if it had been michelle obama, the democrats probably would have won. >> well, i mean, we don't know that. and she's made it very clear she's never going to run. >> yeah, but what i'm saying is politics. yeah. but what i'm saying is to your point that she's black and a woman, i would say and i would say this categorically, i know that a lot of americans would have voted michelle obama. and i think that had she won, had she run, she may have won. so i don't think it's because she's a black black and she's a woman. >> well, in 2016, when hillary clinton lost, there was a lot of conversation that was basically, you know, just not that woman.
9:40 am
she's establishment and she's this and she's a bit cold and she's that and okay, fine. so not hillary clinton. here we are in 2024. well, kamala harris didn't have enough policy or she was you know, she laughed too much. i mean an extraordinary attack on her laugh, you know okay. so not kamala harris. so who is the woman that we're going to be to happy elect hillary clinton? >> maybe it will be the woman who who can present policy, can talk without a teleprompter , talk without a teleprompter, doesn't throw woke nonsense at the american electorate. okay, well, maybe if it was a republican woman, you'd probably not see a female republican president. >> so in 2016, hillary clinton was attacked for being too cold, not emotional enough. you're not showing, you know, her true self and being too policy heavy. she was always attacked sort of saying, oh, you know, go to hillaryclinton.com slash policy 105. okay, fine. kamala harris now attacked not having enough policy and laughing too much . so policy and laughing too much. so what is the problem here? i think i'm not saying that it is exclusively sexism, but there is respect. >> respectfully, i think you're i think you're overthinking it. i think you're overthinking it. i don't think it's that deep. it's just that you had two
9:41 am
democratic female candidates and people didn't want at that point, democratic presidents . point, democratic presidents. that's it. >> you know. >> you know. >> but donald trump, do you not think that there might be an issue if when we have two extraordinarily overqualified women like hillary clinton and kamala harris and they weren't very good, hillary clinton, donald trump? >> yeah, hillary clinton had thatissue >> yeah, hillary clinton had that issue with the emails , that issue with the emails, remember? and that didn't look good. and the bottom line is kamala harris as a, you know, i'm black. i watched her i would not have voted for her if i were in america simply because she a i couldn't bear the constant laughing at things that were quite serious. laughing at things that were quite serious . and also b quite serious. and also b i didn't really like the way she handled san francisco. i've been to san francisco when it was amazing, and under her guidance , amazing, and under her guidance, it's, well, it's a hellhole, as you well know, so. and also under the democrats, have you seen the state of the us? we have a similar thing in this country. so, you know, i don't really think i think people are too quick to jump on. oh, it's because she's a black and because she's a black and because she's a woman. without acknowledging that america, you know, was very profitable and successful under donald trump.
9:42 am
>> i don't think that it was exclusively the reason that she lost there is there is no doubt that there are other factors at play that there are other factors at play here. but i do think that we have to acknowledge that, because if we never acknowledge that we're going to continue going down this path of blaming absolutely everything else and the, you know, the campaign from donald trump's side had a lot of outside help. i mean, elon musk was running a horrendous set of adverts. he would target muslims, saying that kamala harris was too pro—israel and target jewish people, saying she was too pro gaza. you know, there were a lot of factors at play there were a lot of factors at play and p&o kamala harris did did two separate rally speeches in michigan and one elsewhere in pennsylvania, one supporting israel and one more in support of gaza. >> so they're all doing the same thing. you can't just archewell identifies musk for that , identifies musk for that, because she's in favour of a two state solution, because she wants to bring peace to the peace to the region. >> that's very different to running attack ads directly targeting both groups of people saying that she is true pro the other side one one thing is also had lots of like that and the
9:43 am
others just say that she's in favour of a two state solution. but she also had lots of celebrity endorsements as well, which put a lot of people off because it's a load of people spouting out a load of nonsense when they're not affected by any real changes at all. >> and i think that was quite off putting for the electorate who were suffering under the democrats. and let's not forget the hoodwinking by, you know, constantly palming them off with joe biden . joe biden. >> i mean, the celebrity endorsements is, is for me neither here nor there. i mean, i do i do think that american politics is very personality led. and so that plays into that. >> well, i'm only just saying that in response to you saying that in response to you saying that in response to you saying that in the uk. sorry, pablo, i'm just saying that in response to you saying that donald trump had the help of people like elon musk. so i'm just saying that, on the other hand, on the democrat side , they had lots of democrat side, they had lots of celebrity endorsements. so if that's now neither here nor there, then neither is the endorsement of elon musk. >> but but it's not it's not the endorsement of elon musk. that is the problem. it was the amount of money and campaigning that he i mean, at one point he was literally bribing people to get registered to vote and to vote for donald trump. i mean, there's a slight difference between lady gaga saying, actually, were you making the
9:44 am
same the same complaints when ofwat elon musk did ploughing money, were you making the same complaints when george soros was funding all these das across america ? america? >> he spent billions, tens of billions, much more than elon musk. were you raising the same concerns then? >> i would always . well, i mean, >> i would always. well, i mean, firstly, i would always raise concerns about the money spent in american politics because i think the fact that we're that we're talking about, i mean, literally billions and billions , literally billions and billions, tens of billions, i do think is frankly unethical. but again, there is a difference. you're talking about elon musk, who was bribing people to get registered to vote. well, he was running attack ads that were just simply not true. i mean, it was just fake news. there's no hold on. >> you're saying that he was bribing someone? that's quite an allegation, really. the bottom line is people did not. you know, he's not here to defend himself with that. i mean, that is a big thing to say on tv that somebody like this is bribing people. so let's take that back because you don't 100% know and it isn't really on to be saying that. but the bottom line is this the democrats lost. and that's the way it goes. that's
9:45 am
9:48 am
hello. welcome back. 948 ben and nana with you on britain's newsroom only on gb news. >> well, prince william has opened up about this years being the hardest of his life. his wife, the princess of wales, and her father, king charles, have both been battling cancer. >> he admitted this year has been, quote, brutal . while in been, quote, brutal. while in cape town meeting royal watchers . cape town meeting royal watchers. >> well, commentator and author claudia joseph joins us now. claudia, thank you very much for joining us. let's let's talk about prince william . it is about prince william. it is clear that this has been a very tough year, and probably one of the toughest, as you said of his life . what do you think was the
9:49 am
life. what do you think was the sort of motivation for talking about this, that particular thing now? >> well, i think people asked him the question, and william seems to me fairly open about his life. obviously, he's not going to reveal what is wrong with kate or his father, but he certainly does connect with people and answer questions. and i think now is the time we're starting to see kate go out and about again. charles has done his first overseas tour since his first overseas tour since his diagnosis, so i think that there's a feeling that they're on the road to recovery. >> it's when you consider william's background, of course. he grew up seeing his mother die at a young age. he's had to deal with the aftermath of that, describing this last year as one of the most brutal in his life. and when you consider that context as well, i mean, it must have been pretty tough for him these recent months . these recent months. >> i think it's been horrendous. i think it's a build up. i mean, you know, he went through such a
9:50 am
tough time with his mother's death and that as such a small boy and then he gets married, you know, he has children. and suddenly his wife is diagnosed with cancer again at a very young age. and then his father's diagnosed with cancer in the same year. and, you know, all the people he loves and cares about the three most important people ultimately in his life , people ultimately in his life, apart from obviously harry. and we all know about that at the moment. you know, these people are very important to him. and, you know, he he's powerless in a way. he just has to be there for them. but he can't actually do anything to help. really. >> yeah. very difficult as well, because obviously harry would have been at some point you know, they were best friends in a sense as brothers . just moving a sense as brothers. just moving very quickly to harry. do you think harry should be concerned now because donald trump is in the white house? and of course, there's questions over his visa and what he actually said on the application. >> well, i think the rumour is that that's why they bought a bolthole in portugal. so they
9:51 am
did have to leave the states quickly and where they would go, obviously they can't really come back to britain at the moment, especially as harry is you know, in this constant battle with the home office over his security. i it's difficult to know because you know, we all want to know what's in that file and what harry declared on his visa application. and whether donald trump will release that or not. i mean , he's notoriously thin i mean, he's notoriously thin skinned, and meghan's made some quite cruel comments about him. so watch this space. >> yeah. claudia, final question. there are some people online, a minority, who are suggesting just going back to prince william, who are saying that this admission that the last year has been the most brutal of his life comes a week or so after those revelations in the sunday times about the duchy of lancaster and the rents they get from various properties. are they just being putting two and two together? they're suggesting
9:52 am
it's a bit of a bit of a pr spin. >> i think that the monarchy's decision is always to keep calm and carry on, and they don't really reply to allegations of, you know, talking about money and things like that, that there will be discussions obviously going on behind the scenes . but going on behind the scenes. but i think that i don't think personally the two are connected. i think william was just talking off the cuff. really? >> yeah. great. okay. thank you so much forjoining us, claudia. appreciate it. >> yeah, sure. thank you. >> yeah, sure. thank you. >> oh, we've just had some breaking news. claudia. actually, buckingham palace confirmed the princess of wales is to attend both the remembrance sunday services at the cenotaph , cenotaph and the the cenotaph, cenotaph and the festival of remembrance at the royal albert hall on saturday. this is good news. breaking news. i mean, she's she's obviously a lot fitter, better . obviously a lot fitter, better. >> well obviously we saw her at trooping the colour and wimbledon but two events in one weekend you know watchers must be very pleased and you know ,
9:53 am
be very pleased and you know, it's great that she's up and about and able to do so . about and able to do so. >> yeah. good. good news. great. claudia, thank you very much . claudia, thank you very much. really good to talk to you. thanks. really good to talk to you. thanks . lovely to talk about that. >> it's nice. »- >> it's nice. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> sort of getting back into the swing of things. >> yeah. claudia joseph there. she's a commentator and author. yeah. lots of you have been getting in touch as well with your thoughts . and he says that your thoughts. and he says that and we're talking about america. we're talking about trump a lot in this hour. and he says farage is the special relationship between the uk and trump. i think keir starmer needs to consider doing giving farage some sort of role, don't you ? some sort of role, don't you? >> or could they stomach it? could you imagine labour giving nige a position? i think it would make. look, i'm not just saying this because nigel works here or, you know, i'm friendly with him. i think it makes sense for britain's interests. you know, he is the one person he negotiated that meeting between lammy , starmer and trump's team lammy, starmer and trump's team back in september. so he has already been doing, you know, some efforts. >> well, well listen, still to come, we will bring you the latest from amsterdam where israeli football fans have been attacked in what appears to be

9:55 am
bit of drizzle here and there . bit of drizzle here and there. temperatures will be a little lower than recent times, parts of eastern england in particular, staying in single digits with a bit of brightness. in northern scotland, though, we could again climb into the teens. so another fine day by and large here, certainly across the mainland of northern scotland, the northern isles likely to be fairly cloudy and certainly a lot of cloud through central and southern scotland. some holes in the cloud over parts of northwest england. quite a great day for northern ireland again. some light rain and drizzle here and there and there will be some of that too, over the southwest, particularly over the southwest, particularly over the southwest, particularly over the moors . but over the southwest, particularly over the moors. but most, just as i say, dry and cloudy, but slightly chillier than the past few days. not a great deal of change overnight. the cloud continuing to thicken out west, and some spots of drizzly rain will push in, turning misty and murky on some of the higher routes. clearer skies across northern scotland will allow temperatures to dip down here well into single figures and maybe not far off, freezing in a few spots . but most places keep few spots. but most places keep the cloud and so keep the temperatures in the high single digits into the weekend. and
9:56 am
it's again on for saturday most places, dry and cloudy, and perhaps a bit more in the way of light rain just creeping into wales, southwest england, northern ireland, later into western scotland. but again the highlands favoured for a bit of sunshine, otherwise sunshine and short supply and temperatures again struggling to 9 or 10 celsius looking a little brighter for all of us through sunday and more particularly monday , we can expect clear monday, we can expect clear skies leading to a light and warm day ahead i >> -- >> lovely solar

let's see what you've been saying. lucia says lucia bell she says trump's victory had nothing to do with race or colour. i saw legit immigrants being interviewed on sky this morning who said that they had to jump through hoops to legally stay and work in america. they said they voted for trump because they were fed up with thousands upon thousands of illegals being freely let in by kamala harris. see, my mum is so angry because. what? and these people, they're coming in on their boats and all this when all i had to do. if i'd known this, my parents really, you know, because they came here in the 60s and they had to have a certain amount of money, they had to have a job and this and that, and they met that criteria. >> and also it's making the i mentioned at the top of the show, i was speaking to migrants in new york, latinos, hispanics , in new york, latinos, hispanics, the jewish community. they were saying, as you said, we've come here legally through the proper processes, maybe spent a lot of money trying to do so. and what happens is, aside from the fact that these illegals are coming in willy nilly, the quality of
10:09 am
life is being reduced as well. so the illegal migrants who are there, they're seeing their quality of life diminish and everything's just going to going down the pan. so that's why they've got a problem with it. there was some breaking news overnight. there was a reform uk council win. so nigel farage very clear that their target for the next year or so is to really smash those local council elections next year. there was a by—election in march will in wyre council county council last night. borough council. sorry where reform won with 38.6% of the vote, overturning a labour majority who lost 15 points. labour they were down 15%. the conservatives were down 27% and reform won the seats with 38.6% of the vote, so reform gain from the tories. >> yeah, well, listen, you know and well, susie sent a message in with regard to nigel and reform and she said nigel doesn't need to help starmer. why should he let starmer and crew carry on making their own mistakes as they have been? i'm
10:10 am
just waiting for them to implode. that's what's going on. but with regards to all of that, in terms of wales reforms, the welsh conference is taking place in newport today. >> yes. and ahead of that, nigel farage's speech a bit later on the reform uk leader said his party will target the 2026 senate election. >> he flew back from mar—a—lago, especially after his friend donald trump won an undeniable victory in the united states. >> adam cherry is on the ground in wales now. adam, it's been a long old week for nigel, hasn't it? mar—a—lago palm beach in florida, back to the uk. did his show last night, and now this big welsh conference. >> that's it. yeah, very, very busy week for him. you can see behind us. they're just setting up for the reform wales conference is going to kick off in about an hour's time. i'm joined now by reform's only member of the london assembly. this is alex wilson. alex, thanks for joining us this is alex wilson. alex, thanks forjoining us on gb thanks for joining us on gb news. we're quite away from london. what are you doing here in wales today? >> well it's fantastic to be
10:11 am
here in wales in newport for the launch of our welsh conference, which i'll be speaking at later on. but i've come straight from london where yesterday had a very interesting meeting of the london assembly, and i'm sure that's what we're going to talk aboutin that's what we're going to talk about in a minute. >> what happened there? what did they tell you? what did you say to them? >> well, so one of the things was that the labour party put forward a motion where they wanted the taxpayer to pay for free travel across london for asylum seekers and illegal migrants. so this was something that was supported by the labour party , by the liberal democrats party, by the liberal democrats and the greens, the tories, they abstained. they took the coward's way out. they didn't even engage in the discussion. they didn't want to talk about it. so i was the only voice of reason, standing up for hard working british taxpayers, the only voice of reason on that assembly i spoke against, i voted against, and the response i've had since then has been phenomenal. i've had lots of people across london getting in touch with me, saying thank you for being the voice that we elected you to do. they elected me to break the cosy consensus, and that's what i'm trying to do. >> is that enough? because here in wales, as in london, you would say there are traditional labour strongholds. so you have some support there. but is that going to be enough to turn into
10:12 am
votes, particularly here in, in wales, which has always voted labour for a very long time in wales we've got a fantastic opportunity with the senate elections in 2026, elected by proportional representation as the london assembly is, which is how i got a position earlier in may, in may, earlier this year. >> but in a year and a half's time, these elections are absolutely crucial for us as a party. the polling is putting us in a very strong position. we could win 18 to 20 seats. we could win 18 to 20 seats. we could really form the balance of power , potentially even becoming power, potentially even becoming the official opposition. the tories are going to come fourth. we're definitely going to come third. we're really challenging for positions here and i'm very much looking forward to those elections. and that's why i'm here to support the campaign here to support the campaign here in newport. >> so is that the intention here? is it more to become the opposition you're not looking to win outright here. you just want to put pressure on labour. >> we want to get at every level of government, whether that's in parliament, whether that's in the senate, in london, in scotland, in the holyrood elections, which are at the same time as the senate in 2026, and in local councils right up and down the country next year, we're looking to get a stronger voice as possible, because there are people out there that need
10:13 am
their voice to be heard. we are offering something different from all the main parties. the conservatives have really let britain down. we know that from how they behaved in government, and we're seeing that now, how they're behaving in opposition, they're behaving in opposition, they're not providing the real challenge, the real opposition to labour. that's what reform is doing and that's what we're looking to capitalise on. >> alex, thank you very much for joining us here on gb news. i'm sure we'll hear from you later, guys. the main speeches will kick off in about an hour , as kick off in about an hour, as i said, and nigel farage will be speaking to members in at about 5:00. so much to happen still here later on today, and we'll be speaking to you later throughout the show. >> all right. adam, lovely to talk to you. that's adam cherry. >> well, i wonder if reform are buoyed by what we saw in the us this week. you have to imagine they would have sat there watching the results of trump. farage, of course, was at mar—a—lago. but you must have thought they'd been watching all that kicking off and thinking, yeah, things are looking for good us in the uk over the next coming years. >> well, especially, you know, with the relationship with nigel farage and donald trump in particular, if you look at the state of things with keir starmer and of course, david lammy coming out with those
10:14 am
ridiculous comments, even though it was in 2018, i think as well, or 2017 or whatever, it's still, you know , he is still he's still you know, he is still he's still an elected official. and i think politicians need to think seriously about some of the language that they use when referring to other politicians. fancy calling someone a neo nazi sympathising sociopath? i mean, it's just that's not in my vocabulary to even say that to anybody, ever. and for somebody who's been elected in high to office be. >> yeah, it's just it's just so exaggerated. i mean, i was thinking, though, do you think, do you think the likes of lammy and angela rayner settle these comments because they thought they'd never they would never make it to power labour or that trump would never return, which was it? i think it had to be one of them or they wouldn't have said it. >> well, i just think it's the level of arrogance, actually, because of course level of arrogance, actually, beca
