8:05 pm
is it. because it does look a bit like we're drinking coffee. but no, it's the real stuff, right.7 and we're kicking off. >> you look like you enjoyed that that much. i must say, it looked like a kid having his first. his first party. >> oh, don't start struggling to get it down. >> don't start this right. okay. look, i was just in a mug, though. that's what i'm saying. no, i'm not struggling with it. i'll get through it quite quickly. anyway, we're kicking off with ask the five. nick in nottingham has a question about president trump and brexit. >> i have a nickname for labour's top three politicians kier starling, angela ranter and rachel thieves. what's your favourite nickname for these three? >> could you guys hear that? yes. oh you could. yeah. i thought that's a bit of difficulty there. so that was william best nicknames. well, let's never hear keir isn't there. that's an obvious one. well you had a few good ones earlier with the farmer starmer. the farmer farmer. >> well this is the thing is that one of many weaknesses as a politician is that his name is
8:06 pm
just so incredibly rhymable. yeah. but it's actually somewhat unfortunate for him that you can actually use it in so many different derogatory ways. yeah. >> because you had when you had rishi, what was it? i mean, there's dishy rishi. rishi was that was complimentary. >> yeah. and he didn't really pick rishi. rishi good ones. that was the only good one i quite liked. >> jeremy hunt had an obvious one. but we won't go there, will we? who else? >> rachel, the granny killer. >> rachel, the granny killer. >> well, i mean, that's a bit. >> well, i mean, that's a bit. >> that's a bit dark, i think. christ, they're meant to be fun, i think. >> i think she took away winter fuel allowance. old people will die. >> yeah, well, i think there are better ones for rachel reeves. if you really want to know. rachel. from accounts. rachel. accounts. rachel, the temp, i think are quite funny. i mean, those have come from those come from labour mps as well as politico reported. so, you know, you're allowed to say it. >> have we got any trump nicknames for the labour politicians yet? has he tagged them? >> i don't think so. >> i don't think so. >> it's a shame. >> it's a shame. >> but he has pioneered this hasn't he. this this nickname of your political opponents. and he's so, so good at it. >> and when other people try and do it, you can tell it's a
8:07 pm
phoney. it's a bit like ai do it, you can tell it's a phoney. it's a bit like al or something. they don't have the sort of whatever that i wouldn't even call it magic, you know, whatever that craziness is, he does have that. oh, he definitely does. have you not seen that video where he's dictating his own tweets or whatever you call them to his aide? and so she'll sit there on the laptop like this and he'll go, well, i think, and she'll just literally verbatim renee, you must see it. >> i imagine it's what it would have been like watching da vinci paint the mona lisa. he was just, i mean, absolute genius at work, you know, george washington and all these figures in history. >> and then there's this guy we're always led to believe, aren't we, that these people are not really behind their tweets, that it's someone else doing it? >> you could always tell with trump that it's him. he was a master of the tweet format, and he still is one of the best posters in history. i think he was made for this age of social media tidbits, secretly admiring him. i you can't underestimate trump. and people have done it again and again and again. and if the left continue to do that,
8:08 pm
then you know we're out of office for years and years. >> i think it's now out. it's beyond doubt that he is the most influential political figure of the 21st century. >> yeah, well, with this second victory, right. it's interesting what it does to biden's legacy as well, because now he's kind of like a footnote in between the two. it's like it's the trump era where there was four years where you had this guy who couldn't quite speak, and then trump came back again. i'm going to move on slightly. i know we're because we're slightly short of time, but i've got a question here. linda says question here. linda says question for the five. how did will's date with the lefty girl go last week? >> i didn't know about this. >> i didn't know about this. >> right, here we go. >> right, here we go. >> i think i yeah, i might need another beer, so i don't know if the audience is aware of the term ghosting. so ghosting is basically a sad, modern thing where a bloody thing or, well, you know, everything bad seems to arise from gen z. i wouldn't rule it out. i got ghosted, so oh man, it was going really well, the messaging. and then i said friday morning, you know, hey, are we still on for
8:09 pm
tonight? and you know, i've got saturday five on saturday. so friday is an important social night for me. yeah. didn't hear from her. >> this was because to put it into context for the viewers, if they didn't watch it, this was because you went on to a show the night before and she sent you a message saying she was concerned about some of your my political views, your political. >> you're cancelled. so this is what happens. you get cancelled. this is for this. but this is the thing. >> she was a guardian reader and you know, she was a massive lefty. and i'm going, you know, i want to reach across the aisle and i want to find consensus. and i'm going to do that through my dating life. but these lefties just refuse to do it. like, you know, i'm sorry, but they are. they're awful. >> if there's any righties out there, will is >> if there's any righties out there, willis in >> if there's any righties out there, will is in there. >> yeah, i'm just saying. and, you know, the good news is you're getting some more beer soon, so you'll be fine. nick in nottingham has a question about president trump and brexit. i read this out before that mistake. nick actually is asking this question now. so here it is. here he is. >> hello i'm nick simon from nottingham. my question with talks of a comprehensive us—uk trade deal being discussed. can
8:10 pm
president donald trump save brexit? >> can he save brexit? interesting. i mean , it does interesting. i mean, it does feel like it's being dragged back into the consciousness in a way that everyone hoped it wouldn't, regardless of what side you were on. i thought we'd put this to bed a little bit, but now here we are again. renee. >> i think that europe are going to be very worried about trump in many ways, and i think they're going to do their best to embrace keir starmer, who's not going to resist. let's face it, he's going to be a puppy rolling over saying, scratch my belly, please. and they're going to try and pull us so far in that trump can't pull us back out. but if we're sensible, we'll let him. >> anyone else want to jump in on that one? >> it's a good question because, you know, lots of the sort of growth stuff that the government's been coming out with in the last few weeks are tinkering around the edges, things like going to the regulators and asking for their growth plans. how absurd. but the one thing that stood out to me was the growth. exactly. but the one thing that did stand out is this idea that you're
8:11 pm
essentially going to trump and trying to sort of supercharge what the uk needs to be doing. and if they succeed in doing that by having maybe a closer relationship to the us than europe, if they make that decision consciously, then that could be a boon for the uk. >> labour government very obviously doesn't want to do that. they hate trump. they hate what he was going to say. >> like this question is almost we need to be asking that later on after we have actually reconciled. and yeah, perhaps some apologies, perhaps some apologies from certain mps. >> i was going to ask tony, what's what was it like on the campus when trump won? because i remember i was at bristol university when he won the first time. and honestly, it was like there was like a funeral. state funeral was going on the streets. >> yeah, i can i wasn't there, but from what i was told, the bar that was streaming the election was very quiet and there was only like one table celebrating and they were getting some very odd looks. >> well, good on them. it sounds like a good table. yeah. you
8:12 pm
know, at least showing a bit of fun, right? you wanted to be there. >> that was the cien. >> that was the cien. >> yeah. you know what? i'm actually going to be on monday. we're hoping for gb news to be at a at the republican overseas event celebrating having, you know, they're going to be celebrating at least the inauguration, watching it live. so that'll be interesting to see what that's like. yeah, it's like 4 or 5:00 at times. it's not actually that bad, you know. yeah. we can watch it and see how it all goes down. right. well, i need more beer. actually, i'm going to read out a couple more on my. it's not very professional, but it's the it's the extra it's the bonus houn it's the extra it's the bonus hour. so it's all like it's all cool and fine. so i have no idea. basically my laptop has run out. anyway, what's interesting to you about the person sitting across from, well, tatiana's over there and i've got connie here and i've got renee here sitting across from you or next to you. so we'll go around what's interesting, what's what's what interests you about the person? no one's interested in anyone else in this? on this. it's completely. >> i'm constantly interested by kyrees ridiculous views. and i
8:13 pm
wonder to myself every week when i go home, does he truly believe what he has said tonight? >> but and you mentioned your mum earlier, you've defended me to your mother. who says, who says, oh, she comes out with the most ridiculous things. and you said, you know, he's nice, we get on offer, but you're, you're willing to come on air and know you're going to get some stick from some people in certain dark waters. absolutely. and we violently disagree. >> yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. >> i'm interested in connie's political progression. so, you know, there's that old churchill quote that if you're not a liberal at 20, you've got no heart, you're not conservative at 40, you've got no brain. and i feel like connie is playing out that quote. but on warp speed as opposed to over a 20 year period, she's condensed into about six months, which is fantastic. if you can short, short serve that fantastic. >> but unlike some of you guys, i feel like you've come across very nuanced in what you've said today. and, you know, not just sort of, you know, for your trump example, you know, you're not not not all in on trump like these guys. >> i'm very cautious of
8:14 pm
committing myself to any particular point, because i've seen how drastically my views can change on one topic. so i don't want to say that i'm one way or the other. i'm obviously not left wing, but i'm not going to say that i love nigel farage and that i think reform should be the next government, because i don't want to be sucked into another echo chamber after just escaping one. >> we've also moved into this new era where you can only support somebody if you agree 100% with everything. >> yeah, yeah, that's a nonsense in the in group, but also the people. >> but people can't change their minds. i think we need to become much more open and both the left and the right do this. they disavow people about because of what they believed. >> years ago when connie was disavowed. >> yeah, well, maybe i'll accept this. maybe there may be inconsistencies in what i say. that was that was that was that was years ago. a different show entirely. >> it's the it's the sport ification of politics. we now just we support the jersey. we don't support the underlying principles that the jersey
8:15 pm
should denote or should should embody. >> it's also very rare that you ever absolutely believe and concur with everything a person that you meet. i mean, you and i are good friends, but there will be things we disagree on your mad libertarian sometimes. that's fine. >> you're a fair weather freedom fighter. you you like freedom when it suits you. and then very, you know, authoritarian in some other mish. >> conor, do you ever get i mean, we touched a little bit on this earlier. do you ever get messages from people saying, i secretly kind of agree all the time. >> i can't commit, even within my social groups at uni, i've had people only after it was on an otley run. actually, halfway through the otley run, someone came up to me and whispered don't tell anyone else after they'd had a few beers. yeah, we built up the eight pints. three. yeah. >> so it takes eight. it took eight pints. >> it takes eight pints. you can build up the courage to reveal your actual political beliefs. interesting. well, we'll see what happens, i suppose. >> polarise this because people really were in camps over covid and vaccines, weren't they? i mean, i've got family members who just still to this day think
8:16 pm
i was absolutely crazy. and i know people that lost family members, you know, they don't talk to them anymore. >> it's interesting. i mean, because i was at university just before covid, i left in 2020 and i would have said, actually a lot of the conversations we're having, they were heading in that direction anyway. maybe, maybe covid exacerbated it in some corners. but i feel like we were going this place, going towards this place anyway, i think. when did this really start? there's lots of examples. >> social media has to be with the rise of facebook i reckon, is the is the turning point right. polarisation. and for tribal politics, i don't know, i think i think well, yes, in general, but for my generation i think it came at brexit. >> so i was 12 when we left the eu and an assembly, we had an assembly and the teacher said so everyone here, if you would have voted to remain in the eu, put your hand up. bearing in mind it was a bunch of 12 year olds, nearly everyone put their hand up.and nearly everyone put their hand up. and then he said, now who would have voted to leave? and i don't remember this, but apparently i was the only one
8:17 pm
who put my hand up. so even then i was a contrarian, obviously. >> yeah. wow. yeah. >> yeah. wow. yeah. >> there are these big cleavage points. >> you know, we were we were sort of given this impression that, okay, so the majority of people here, they're sort of normal. of course, that's what people should think. and you know, you know, we were told, you know, people might disagree with you. remember to be kind to those you disagree with. but it was kind of pushed that a text message on the morning of brexit result from my son telling me i had ruined his life, and that his grandma should not have been allowed to vote. >> wow. >> wow. >> there are all these big moments, what we've had, and i think will's right in that since the age of social media, the big political moments since all that kicked off have divided families and communities. you think about the independence referendum in scotland that was massively and families completely splitting about that brexit. i think you're right. trump in america massive. so all of these moments have become so much bigger and amplified. >> well, i'll let you just jump in there and then we're gonna go to a break. >> allow me a quick attack on
8:18 pm
the left, because i think i've changed. on the left is now you're not merely if you disagree with them, you're not merely wrong. you are a bad person. there is a moral dimension to the way that they think about these debates, which makes it very difficult to have good faith conversations. >> there we go. so in a moment, we'll hear from gb news owen gb news owen. that's one bit we'll hear from gb news owen bev turner. she's in washington, d.c. ahead of donald trump's inauguration. she will join us
8:19 pm
8:20 pm
8:21 pm
extra. on monday. president elect donald trump will officially be made the 47th president of the united states of america in his inauguration ceremony, and for the first time since 1985, it will be held indoors. those cold temperatures is expected to peak at minus
8:22 pm
six. i've seen some forecasts putting it even lower than that. that's celsius, by the way. it's not fahrenheit now. well, someone who has been braving the ice cold weather is our very own bev turner. bev, good to see you. is it still chilly there? it looks a little bit wintry. >> hi, guys. yeah, it is cold. it isn't terrible here today, to be honest. there isn't a breath of wind. the sky is quite blue, but it is definitely cool. and when the sun goes down this evening in about an hour or so, it definitely gets very cold here. but obviously the decision has been made that monday will be much colder, and i think this decision has been taken as much from a kind of safety point of view of the crowd as much as anything. yes, there will be former presidents who are elderly would have been sat outside, but there would also have been hundreds or thousands of people stood outside here in washington, d.c. so the decision has been made. there's 30 miles of fencing which has been
8:23 pm
erected around the city to effectively keep the crowds in certain areas. that is now all to some extent not really needed, but you can see the capitol hill building behind me. this is where the inauguration would have taken place on the steps of the building. it will now happen indoors and a logistical headache for the organisers, because they have to work out which couple of hundred people are sufficiently important to be in that room. you can imagine some of the conversations which must be going on will be really, really difficult. but the atmosphere here in the city is actually quite calm. i would say. today there was a huge protest, the people's march, it was called a lot of people. i've just seen them as i was walking here now that were making their way away. lots of pink hats, lots of pink clothes, lots of pink hair actually, as well. but a lot of those people were protesting for women's rights. that seems to still be a sticking point for people with president trump. a lot of the women are thinking that he isn't in support of them, despite the fact i would argue that he's elected some
8:24 pm
rather powerful, strong women to rather powerful, strong women to rather senior roles in his administration. so who knows, maybe those people can be convinced in the next few years that trump doesn't hate all women and that actually he very much loves this country and wants to do everything that is right for america, and particularly in the health space as well. of course, make america healthy again has been one of his slogans in collaboration with robert kennedy jr. so there's going to be a huge time of change. obviously, for america, it feels very much like a divided city. it feels like a divided country, though. today the sun is coming out, guys, just for gb news. and it is. it is going to be fascinating this weekend to see how it all goes. >> now, beth, what can you tell us about the party that nigel farage held in that city last night? was it the stars and stripes party? what happened there? >> that's right. it was the stars and stripes and union jack, and it was held in probably the best location in
8:25 pm
dc, with an incredible view across the white house. there were probably a couple of hundred people there, all sorts of public faces from the uk, particularly from the reform party, of course, because nigel farage was effectively the host. so nick candy, the property investor who's now also backing reform, was there. he had ant middleton with him, of course, from celebrity sas, who talked to me about the fact that he might run as london mayor for the reform party. that was a bit of a shock. who else did i talk to last night? we had. can you tell i'm a little blurry from my late night at the party, steve bannon we've got we've got dnnksin bannon we've got we've got drinks in front of us. american commentator. oh, lucky you steve bannon of course. was there a big supporter of donald trump but not a supporter of elon musk? and he spoke to me about the fact that he doesn't believe that elon musk is the right person to be on board with trump. but it was a fantastic evening. and there's this special relationship, of course
8:26 pm
there is between the uk and the usa. liz truss was also there last night working, you know, working the room and representing the country. so there's a real sense of optimism, obviously, from trump supporters about the how the world may change, not just this country, but the ripple effects of his policies and how they may change across the world, particularly making their way over to the uk, where it's going to jump in with a question shortly. >> but i just wanted to ask your plans on monday. where are you going to be? what are we going to see from you guys on the inauguration day itself? >> well, my understanding is that we've got michelle dewberry and martin daubney who are going to be in the studio in london. we're going to take as much of the ceremony as we possibly can. we have
