smoking gun i mean is that. you know the seems to be even if you know how many of these can of mala propositions is he going to do before he becomes like ok we've done that or we have to do something else but the smoking gun made me laugh before chris you know you don't think donald trump people asked what does drives donald trump them. apart from six to seven of course but is it perhaps he's trying to provide material for for you could he as well who will be are related he is in the cloud let's not forget when his mum scottish in his home was made of the clothes substitute from the highlands from stalling i think it will she go back to reception as an economic migrant and to the united states of america could make the twenty six the new seem to be getting nothing that's a pretty i've never been good at figures but you know i'll agree on that when they're yes amazing that we go away we got this fantastic company called alex rose provide us with us kind of amazing donald some sort of you peer on and do the you know get the expressions and you know do the whole bronzed look and how you came

you go things the stars look but we can see that we're going to i thought provoking to alex but friends are going oh no it's because you're related you don't get too much into character you know the pushing buttons or anything particularly red once you know. when i started doing some i think i saw him to do a bit like alec baldwin in the movie playing got to go and ross you know that sort of may have attention had your attention for a moment because you're a bitch about what some silly shot actually i figured well and when we really had to study his voice because he was running for president we decided that or i'd come up with the idea well if he wins this he's not going to be talking to twenty thirty thousand people every day he's going to be you know as the barbara walters what made you do it donald i realized i was the only guy for the job and it was a more intimate trump and then there's the inauguration trump with the words drag. and i don't know i just i think the more you do that like. the voice i listen

to and presentations impressions i did years ago listen to them know and i think what he's saying is not unlikely but what do you do before taps so many people and i now i detect no menu no matter what i was. thinking i was the thing about barack obama was it was how do you make this really cool guy funny and two friends of mine two brilliant writers julian dutton and duncan was b. came up with this speech and watched them form it will it's sort of became this it was we're fighting the flames of despair with the cooling waters of hope and courage. of the winds of truth and i've used that which gives you stand up but does he talk about that breakfast or fourth the golden flicks of charge we have a guard our south i guess the paths of hunger but when trump came along the gifts of comedy were already there. and it was it was easier to write for him because he writes for himself and solace to tell the truth in the twenty sixteen presidential

election did you find yourself a told conflicted no no one hundred for the security of the planet it was probably a good idea if hillary clinton won a no hand for the security if your kid he donald trump was a godsend but a lot of people asked me that you must be the only person is happy if he gets reelected but i remember the evening he was he won and i was with john raven's and there was a very dull misfit in dover and i remember going home and i reflected that he does hillary clinton that's right yeah best hillary clinton and the best he's a may as really extraordinary when she does you know it's a these are you minimum you know slowly. in the voice but and she looked like hillary again the makeup was phenomenal to the voice was stunning and yeah that was i remember that the gettysburg address that he did when i really thought he might do this and i got very nervous and. but i guess it will be what it is and we've got great writers who tend to give us the material. you know what i'm doing

really well right there is because he's awful of you who is well suited for you think i should interview the president they feel deigned to come on the show but who should not be interviewed you think well i wouldn't wish on the part of the pope or all of the all right good another can go for their shop to save a name again i love that we shouldn't say many. have your permission or if and if you did to be just do you do the impression in front of them no i glove to a bit sean connery i you know that's one of my heroes you know well enough yeah and just get yourself a set of clubs and off the life of. my your golf game between short and the president i mean that would be him. he's the intercourse champion well i will be good to see if it's really cool the football or you know i did meet one another he was billy connolly once in fact i played a sketch where i was sean connelly with a look at billy connolly but the voice of children caught me but i met billy after

one of his concerts and that this guy really was saying you know i graphs and i said here billy i think you should have you know in your news channel and i said b.c. and billy connolly does that work and you say when i did it good. i had the music opportunity of meeting showing back in twenty fifteen when he was in the order introduction for alex inspect the team shall never die and the bahamas. why chant the consummate professional he had a phone conversation a couple of days before we would discuss what was going to be doing and of course we never before and we would i was on holiday with the family and did you see tosh we decided to teach me just the way you should use it which is like it was about you we were going to parse. but to use that word secretive before because my kids to get fixated on voice that i write is amazing place about how ms ms wonderful wife me should be and everyone was in a box to do a folk play it was a wonderful experience i will never forget by kid cudi how to create the what was it you put a compass a figure once between sean connelly and the lakota. well that's right now it was

for a show back and i guess i was only one thousand nine hundred ninety eight called up to something and it was ken phillips of this brilliant sketch where it was sean connery the voice of sean connery but look at billy connolly hello. so he's doing the show and it was always our hero who you know back in my day the neighbors you know were fantastic we used to leave our front and back doors open all day you know like no bush told everything we. did either see the sure oh as or what we will we've shared the radio show many years ago and i'm going to talk about that because that was a see this off the ball a scottish football still running cover the fantastic twenty five years colt series and you played a lot of them by an up and coming young dashing scottish politician. alistair darling. i wonder who that could be well that's right i played alec many times in

fact he told me i think it may have been an off the ball don't know or a function kind of number way years ago that shawn was in fact a big fan of the show it was he thought it was me you see. you're too kind of sean connery. program which pretty good. it was show usual joy and show us the less the complete deal to two off the ball but the two to fight the fight that my team is hot that will not start and there have been wins and losses i don't know maybe but this over the twenty five years of house one more than helps i don't know i like when i was a bit like up with cook it was tough go for lots of losses and then we got the few . fighting that was what next for you listen yeah well the new year with guard well became excited the. radio four of them got a new cd is a dead ringer starting and running and corner playing milan had some against

against. might be quick good luck for hoping to do some some projects together with . who knows what a lot of work i feel of voiceover work when i get asked to do trailers in a world that's my day job which i love you know i want the option to fight first question to stay here and london well quit while you are amazing really if i mean i made the move in one thousand nine hundred five and and fight when your guest was my it was she was my launch she was the sponsor hot in london and ninety five one hundred twenty pence in the bank so yeah i mean you've got to make a move though and i commute a stoke up to scotland but you know that's to me a i thought i would have been seeing you and panto you know playing on a great day out of with a great level of well i think trump might be a great billet in the pan tilt of the pond to one of the dining room many years ago the great dad in the rue free pass of tights to me i was wishy washy oh yeah.

what happened ok nothing to change if you can be sure you got enough how did the president react to the entire feat of booing and everything to make a monster that showed enough care about the hey let's come up. you ask a lot of stupid questions. you know you mentioned a few minutes ago that one of our guests of this christmas show was someone used to board with you a struggling young comedian. coming up after the break was that great these two lads up we've asked that people whose interviews created a create impression movie was wonderful i just debbie arnold and former local m.p. lembit to pick joined us a. show. when our mind when the coma tempo or mind. changed there are.

some of the level of the physiology that is at the level of the brain the brain as a form of plasticity can rewire itself and not just the brain but also the rest of the body respond to. welcome to unique addition of crosstalk we answer questions from you the viewers some of the sentiment very interesting question. for people feed the economy because they buy scratch tickets scratch off lottery tickets they you know when i was living in the ghetto in new york you know the red apple grocery store uptown had the highest prices in town and liquor stores are open and you'd buy you know more expensive in the ghetto and that's how you build an economy it's always built on the backs of the poor america was built on the slave market america was built on prison labor. day the good times of america the

ne'er do wells it's all very well that's over we got to go back to basics. welcome back and welcome to the show of debbie arnold lead or pick her joining us is still with us did you have a good christmas that was all right i suppose if you like that kind of far stuff you know. the longer the live there we could be cheerful no ok well i've changed my mind it was great christmas lights and sirens fashionable i love quest christmas i'm a real christmas bunnies of course debbie you are on the shore on the set just over the are a few months ago when we were commemorating a marking holocaust memorial day you told the wonderful story a moving story about your family and let's take a quick look at that clip she remembers sitting on her papa's knee and him saying

to her if you hear yes i know you're in england so she knew those words in english then she said that you remember going to the station and she was really excited to go and see a train in the station and she was with mom this was from vienna this is from vienna she was holding her mother and father's hand on her and she was there as well and she was skipping towards the train loads of people at station then she turned around and her mother had gone her father had gone and she was holding hands with her auntie and she was looking around for mom or pop or a bearing in mind she was this high and then the next thing she knew she was pushed on the train and turned around and her auntie was gone and then she started to get frightened and started to cry and she couldn't see over the so the window so you know the train was here and my mother couldn't see out of the window so she just started to cry that of course got a tremendous reaction from so many who watch the show and what are you doing now i was at the scene is it so sad when you think of that little girl my mom and there are hundreds and thousands of children now that we just can't seem to rescue safe

passage or trying to rescue these kids but in the last two years they've only rescued twenty when you think the kinda transport in ten days they got something through the government and within ten months they rescued ten thousand children why eighty years later is this happening again and we can't help the children and i'm so passionate about this and safe passage and little. you know we've got it we've got something going on we're trying to get more children out but it just doesn't seem possible doesn't this go above politics isn't this humanitarian she says is it makes me so so sad we make a good point because the year it's been taken over by bricks that and very much almost the things are being put in the back garden which are really important and impacting our children are living in fields they're dying you know three thousand people have died this year trying to get to this country i'm talking about little children like my mother who have just been left little children are left to to die left being raped i mean it's it's the most awful thing and why can't we just bring unaccompanied children to this country this isn't about immigration this is nothing

to do with immigration this is helping people that need help nor mother is going to put her child in i don't need to get across thousands and thousands of miles of ocean seas and lace is a safer option yes and wish and that's why the charity is called safe passage we are trying to bring people over i mean the government pledged to bring over three thousand children they didn't even bring over three hundred i mean the law was appealed i mean what is going on here i mean how can we say that we're going to divorce breaks and there's going to be fifty billion pounds to do that and we can't get the money together and help these children they need help well enough a break that there was enough it's not my fault i was there and the truth actually helped set up the holocaust memorial day and it's amazing how the difference between what you're talking about as compared to what's been happening in politics i don't know about you mr sama but i don't miss parliament because as a single issues things are very different to my life it's really been quite an

extraordinary you know times of the journey that i've. learned that there was a clip which had a big feel reaction because it was a program about how people overcame set books and politics and you talked a bit when you lost your seats a member of parliament lot less of a look at a clip i was on. the morning. after i'd lost they booked me beforehand expected me to pull out but of course that was the subject of humor your laugh at the time being not laughing inside and over time i lost that momentum and i lost direction if you like i lost my narrative i had been an m.p. i expected to be an m.p. and i was nothing and i had no role to victory in my area i looked out the window and thought what do i do next. but she went on to say that we've rebuilt a life and commenting on politics and other things a well so i was not doing as a commentator as opposed to a practitioner will sing that clip reminds me it was very honest conversation i had with it was actually quite emotional i thought about it afterwards you have to

basically reinvent yourself there's no sympathy when you leave it site resort he lost by your history it took me really about seven or eight years to do that now i'm director of communications public affairs for the motorcycle action group and i suppose that is part of the tickle but it's not party political and i'm actually in politics again as well i'm chair of the parliament of a scar that is up the us i hope how do you know this varies nation let's try this with a super you are a p one of one of your notable campaigns was i'm there for being in imminent danger from asteroids of thought jex to be well i thought that i was donald trump the best of a sort of great guy. i'm not coming back this subject of adversity and of course i talk about can be far from becoming to london as it presents struggling to make their career how did you live with meat we met he was playing germany cricket and sure he was long and he was green and he was very very strange but my ex-husband

said this guy's a genius thirty bright thing he's ever said in his life but i would say yes and lewis basically said oh i'd yes i'd love to come on the other thirty two p. in the abbey national and i said are you going to come and live with us and he said no i can't really we can drag him down here in the kind of rest is history come to live with me so i had a grown up child of twenty five and a daughter of two and one of seven and he became my son and it only had an impressionist as well right yeah yeah yesterday and also my father was rational i'm absolutely shocked of the you were using i mean national not something you'd see what i might as well as the right. i don't know about it ever said that you have only got this as you are a child that is pretty much well. some of the way yet which is you know and listen to the national building helpline social media which impacts on what's happening in politics around the world of course could have quite

a negative impact on young people yes i think so and the national body helpline a fantastic i mean they've helped so many people east and it's not just kids you know it's adults that get bullied in the most you know important what places in the world and people are terrified to go back to work because of what's been happening with their bosses this isn't me too this is just bullying in the workplace i didn't realise it was so bad you know as as that says you know we have you know we have a great life or whatever but i've known a lot of actresses and actors new must know this is well being afraid to go to work because people weren't very nice to them on the set you just think over that's something we've dealt with it but then as you get older you realise that it's just it's actually it's not right to treat people like that. yet over there i mean you. let go when you were in parliament there must've been some things that you were able to achieve in the time that you were there that really meant something to you yeah the biggest single thing i did was the northern ireland peace process i was the only mainland politician who was there from the beginning of it to the end the whole ten years it was frightening you sitting in rooms with people who hadn't

maybe killed people they definitely done it in a couple of occasions they've actually attempted to kill people i knew that was really strange it was frightening but at the same time it lead to results saving lives as well probably the best thing i did and then there's the not so special stuff as well and i don't miss what's turned into a single issue parliament at the moment is the diversity of chucked out a lot of the seat but the diversity i've got now i do it out of a claim well i think three of us that they stop by in comment are you know if you think. despite the signal issue parliament the current tools of north quite quickly where was this just a couple of old fogies looking by to say things will be better. even if time davis kind of comes on not as a life we all judge of the audience as sort of mind of how lively things used to be comics of us i think the congress is being pushed on because it's just not worth the convo risking being a big carrot and then being lambasted by the media not being able to get the

message across and just having the whole optimism corroded i think that's what's happened so lucifer for lacking some courage for some five of us is bad news for you have in previous generations your might yob would deadness helium to pave heave harder wilson very easy to pass big recognizable figures are you struggling for figures to us naval history homes right here while harvey got you. black belt. that is really is the. maybe it was just an opposite of that. yeah yeah. yeah yeah i see it is where i was attorney. george galloway was with george doing let me be perfectly good with. many guises oh yeah. sitting days and but i wouldn't you know i would be by but let me i will be a bike you know i. still. care about i love baseball.

but look a closer loved one yes a big i guess a brag. that you probably lost lots of but i'm sure our viewers that fed up with back then thank you all so much for making it all thanks so much and this special fees now show me how that is talking about appreciation for you coming here some gifts for you from a right lish you made my dream come true the stuff of the program isn't going to give you something. this is a quick look at the list but perhaps what they would be the delicious whisk in the quick and then round your clothes for only scotch of course you do the autos for cost so much as i think there's a lot you know that you know people have said i needed to see question a. for years this is great if i were a bit edgy puffed up and. you have course amazing thank you so much and when you've got a house i got another one let's have a good in your presence very heavy that is good but i thought i never put this on expenses and i think ultimately to forgive me you can't look forward to so much for

economic salvage or for making such a classical start to our festival dishes i will hope you have a wonderful new year nothing to health happiness joy all the things you could i actually think that you still need to be the one final face the thoughts before you all go coming back by popular demand and given it the season to be jolly he does it over and i enjoy really have a wonderful you're. below . the spin a hell of a you. know it really has been one hell of. many among us facing enormous challenges and a new mobile difficulties for endless isolated lonely facing eviction this christmas so we almost feel sympathy for police on me

i must sell was fortunate enough to receive a christmas card from number ten. i have a supplicated this yuletide gesture imagine my disappointment in my car. not knowing that this address but enough of politics. as the prime minister should have concluded some time ago it should even announce a sense. my fortunes in the sporting arena did not go well that's lost you. in the golden breaking end of the nomination of. masel and father mcginty drew a lot steamy resident chaplain to the men's and women's and of national football sites. result as mcguinty is relishing two weeks in june at the finals with scotland's all conkling women's team and gay party. meanwhile i'm looking

forward to two days in vladivostok in the zembla as the men say them buck on yet another quest for qualification. but we still have a lot to be thankful for and i like to maintain a cheerful disposition. as ever this christmas my focus is on the ordinary people. i prefer my for the shepherds to my three kings of the audient but take with since i've never encountered go. or frankincense or any denomination higher than oppose it and the watch night service collection plate. early in the year i took my jolie jones even jellicoe crusade company on. the highways and byways of scotland the highlands and the lowlands up glennon don't deal to housing schemes streams and matey of us. largely because the

this doesn't mean the one percent. we can all middle of the room six. million more you'll need to really follow. what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to be. that much of the right to be crossed it's like before the tree in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. first sip.
