I have to say it's 6 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,479 Speaker 2: my first time here. It's something to behold. A tiny, 7 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 2: tiny town five thousand feet up the mountain in the 8 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 2: Swiss Alps. It's not built for this, and yet they 9 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 2: come in on the helicopters. I've never seen so many 10 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 2: show for driven Mercedes Benz blackedout vehicles in my life. 11 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 2: You would think it was some sort of Oscars or Hollywood. 12 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 2: And all these random people get out and they're basically 13 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 2: the seolls who move the money around and allegedly make 14 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 2: the world go round. And I'll tell you what. Right now, 15 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 2: the vibe I got yesterday, a lot of them are 16 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 2: running scared because of one man's return. 17 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: Oh okay, of course, because he's not a globalist, and 18 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: that is for sure. And he said a lot of trade. 19 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: So how has Donald Trump, who had a glorious inauguration today. 20 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: I thought it was a great party, and he's still 21 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: going and starlight ball are still on as we speak. 22 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: How has how has he ruined Klaus's party? 23 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 2: So we were told on arrival here that there were 24 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 2: three key topics for discussion this week wars, climate change, 25 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 2: and misinformation. And very very quickly from talking to the 26 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 2: delegates and the people who are arriving and these billionaires 27 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 2: and squillionaires and soon to be trillionaires, the vibe I 28 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 2: got was there was three topics. They were interested in Trump, 29 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: trade and tariffs. So there's been very little discussion of 30 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 2: the others so far. And I guess, look, they're all 31 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 2: watching and waiting to see what will he do, will 32 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 2: the rhetoric stack up, will he actually deliver what he's 33 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 2: been saying, will he really put America first? And how 34 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: will it impact them? So there's sixty heads of state 35 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 2: here this week, and I mean this town is tiny, 36 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 2: absolutely tiny. There's no accommodation that's affordable. The locals were 37 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: telling me that some people basically go on holidays for 38 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 2: a week and let out their apartment for ten thousand 39 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 2: euros for five days and that's you know, a hell 40 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 2: of an income. And everyone seems to be running scared, 41 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 2: wondering what is Trump going to do? And where are 42 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 2: you staying? 43 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: Well, are you in a are you in a major 44 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: in a. 45 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 2: Ban I actually am, I'm staying one hour away over 46 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 2: the mountain. I'm in a tiny, tiny village. Everyone speaks 47 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 2: Swiss German, and as Laura, our producer, will testify, my 48 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 2: German is I was the premar schoolhouse when I was 49 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 2: about a ten or eleven. I think I learned German 50 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 2: in Ireland. So we've been yeah, yeah, it's easy for 51 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: you to say. So we're having wonderful conversations here in 52 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 2: the evening. I'm staying in a B and B in 53 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 2: a tiny I wouldn't even call it a village, It's 54 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: a hamlet. It's absolutely stunning, but the people extremely friendly. 55 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 2: And I'll tell you just to tell you how to 56 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 2: how January makes me struggle doing dry January and arrive 57 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: back here the other night and the family were having 58 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 2: beers in the kitchen and they invited me in, and 59 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 2: I thought and they thought I was And I'd come 60 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: back from a run and I always do dry January 61 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 2: and I respect it and it's just a little body 62 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: reset before I start running again. And I sat and 63 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 2: I had a wonderful conversation, really nice people. 64 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: This is not about you in that, but that's very fine. 65 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: True. 66 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,119 Speaker 1: They said they wanted to talk about war, and they're 67 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: gonna have to talk about war because Zelensky is arriving. 68 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 2: Yes, so he's the keynote speaker today. They have a 69 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 2: big auditorium and basically the A listers and the very 70 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 2: very serious people who come with their message, and everyone 71 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 2: will know Zelenski's message in advance. He wants help, he 72 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 2: wants money, he wants assistant and he wants weapons. And 73 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 2: regardless of whether Trump turns off the taps from the 74 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: American AID, in the next twenty four hours, Zelensky will 75 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 2: be appealing to the world to not forget Ukraine. And 76 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: it's really interesting. In all of the discussions yesterday, Ukraine 77 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 2: was not mentioned. So he's the start turned Today. Security 78 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 2: is extremely tight, so they have a police cordon about 79 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 2: nine kilometers outside of Davos. The trap sloths through a standstill, 80 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 2: and you can imagine how tight security will be today 81 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 2: with Zelenski being in a very small town. Will you 82 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 2: get in, I'll get into the auditorium, but there'll be 83 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 2: no prospect of interviewing him. I mean as much as 84 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 2: I dearly love to sit down or even grab a word. 85 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 2: I met Al Gore yesterday in the street and he 86 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 2: wouldn't speak to me, so you know he's he's not 87 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 2: a world leader, he never was. He was a vice president, 88 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 2: but he could. He basically hailed a golf buggy to 89 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: get away from me yesterday, which thought was quite funny. Well, 90 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 2: I thought, you know, just just one question about Trump, 91 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 2: and he wouldn't speak to the men. 92 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: Nana and he had call home to make sure that 93 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: everybody had turned off the lights. Now, just finally, UK 94 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: Royas are playing some US strips tomorrow next year. 95 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, So this is all about wooing Trump and 96 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 2: getting him back interested in the UK. They're not stupid. 97 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 2: They know that he was a huge fan of the 98 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 2: late Queen and the plan is a too pronged assault. 99 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 2: Next year, William was president of the Football Association in London. 100 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 2: So the Soccer World Cup will be in American next 101 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 2: year and Mexico and Canada. William would be absolutely you know, 102 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 2: it would be a no brainer to send him to that. 103 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 2: So William will head off to the United States for 104 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 2: the World Cup and the feeling is Charles may Go 105 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 2: and Mark two hundred and fifty years of American independence. 106 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 2: Apparently Charles's mother went fifty years ago when it was 107 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 2: two hundred years and Trump is a fan. Trump gets 108 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: on well with Charles, we're told. So a big year 109 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 2: ahead for the royal family wooing Trump and hopefully getting 110 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 2: some investment in the UK because it absolutely needs it. 111 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: Absolutely. Of course everybody's going to woo when you're talking 112 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: about Bezos and Zuckerberg and American businesses, the pools, you know, 113 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: and Joe Rogan and now even Prince Ave and King 114 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: Charles himself got to woo Donald Trump. What an amazing 115 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: turn of events. 116 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 2: When you read the list of things that he's dodged, 117 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 2: from bullets to jail, its got to be the most 118 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 2: extraordinary political comeback ever. I just I don't know. I 119 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 2: spent one hour yesterday waiting on a TV line to 120 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 2: go live listening to him talk. And I've never heard 121 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 2: a more rambling speech in my life. It was and 122 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 2: it was minus three celsius uper Mountain in Switzerland. So 123 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 2: it it's an hour of my life.
