Then, well, he 7 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 2: took the truth social even essentially before it started, saying 8 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 2: that he believed that Chijing Ping, Vladimir Putin, and Kim 9 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 2: johng Wan were conspiring against America. He wished them a 10 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 2: glorious day to celebrate what China sees at their is 11 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 2: the eightieth anniversary at the end of its involvement in 12 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 2: the Second World War, defeating Japan, and essentially hit out 13 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 2: at the three dictators in chief if you like, and 14 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 2: the images are going around the world, Vladimir Putin, Chijing Ping, 15 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 2: and Kim Jong Wan essentially standing inside Tiannaman Square, the 16 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 2: Great Hall of the People, looking out over the parade 17 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 2: of Chinese military. You spoke about some of the armor 18 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 2: were there. It was an extraordinary display of military might. 19 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: Undersea vehicles, high tech aircraft, unmanned drones, unmanned planes, unmanned 20 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: almost everything you can imagine, and then the loyalty of 21 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: the Chinese army on. 22 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 2: Absolute full display. It was a message that the President 23 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 2: of the United States would have been watching very very closely. 24 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 2: No doubt we'll hear a little bit more from him 25 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 2: on his full reaction to it tomorrow, but at least 26 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 2: his initial reaction was to say, you three, you're conspiring 27 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 2: against me. 28 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 1: He thinks it's funny people thought he was dead. 29 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 2: Ah. Yeah. He seemed to sort of pretend as though 30 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 2: he had absolutely no idea what the online speculation was, 31 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 2: and places like x and Facebook were filled with speculation 32 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 2: over the weekend. He wasn't well that perhaps he may 33 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 2: have even passed away, and he was asked this question today. 34 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 2: The exact wording of the question was how did you 35 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 2: find out you were dead? And he kind of responded 36 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 2: by sort of suggesting, oh, I never really heard about that, 37 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 2: and that said, yeah, I did hear about it, but look, 38 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 2: you know, I'm perfectly fine. He says he was very 39 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: active over the weekend, says he went to his club, 40 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 2: that he was very active on truth social which of 41 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 2: course he was, but largely it was fueled by a 42 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: public absence, if you like, and the longest public absence 43 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 2: for him of this term in front of a television camera. 44 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 2: It was a week ago. He fronted cameras for three hours, 45 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: seven eight minutes or so at a cabinet meeting and 46 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 2: then seemingly disappeared. And the online twitter aati or exirati 47 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 2: or facebook arati, whatever you want to call them these 48 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: days seemed to do what the internet does, and that 49 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 2: is fuel the speculation, and he sort of really hosed 50 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: that down today. Now, we were joking with you about 51 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 2: how much you love Taita and Travis, Oh yeah, but 52 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: oh the world loves her, doesn't I? 53 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: It will? Yeah? 54 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 2: But am I right? And did you meet him? Ah? Yeah, 55 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: we might have had a little large association, if you like, 56 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 2: with Travis Kelce. A couple of days ago, I was 57 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 2: in Kansas City, Missouri, to cover an Australian football playing 58 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: college football and were standing inside Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium, 59 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 2: the home of the Kansas City Chiefs, and sure enough 60 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 2: in walked Travis kelseium off alongside his brother Jason, asked 61 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 2: him a question how he was doing, wished him congratulations, 62 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 2: tried to talk to him about whether he might consider 63 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 2: Australia or even perhaps New Zealand as their destination for 64 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 2: the wedding. But yeah, it was a very very brief 65 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 2: conversation between Travis and I. He swiftly moved on. I 66 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 2: was almost pumped into his brother Jason, and then up 67 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 2: Travis proceeded to the corporate suite to sit alongside his 68 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 2: new fiancee Taylor Swift, who was there. Were all smiles 69 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: for most of the game, or at least part of 70 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 2: the game anyway, and I have no doubt that they'll 71 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 2: be back at Arrowhead Stadium in a couple of weeks time, 72 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: when Travis takes to the field himself, this time for 73 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs against the Philadelphia Eagles. Jonathan, everything 74 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 2: you've ever lived for, Thank you. It's like we were there. 75 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 2: I really appreciate that. Jonathan Keresley, Channel nine US correspondent. 76 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 2: Do you just feel like you were in that room 77 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 2: with them, almost bumping into Jason.
