Speaker 1: Now this is a stratio urbanized with pat Panetta.
Speaker 2: Then the garlic, who the Pharaoh? It sounds now war
Speaker 2: is declared, a battle come down? Done the garlic to
Speaker 2: the unworld command of the cover y bye the girl
Speaker 2: done the garlic that don't look at us, phony Biddlemania,
Speaker 2: it's burnt us. Then the darling. See we ain't got
Speaker 2: the swing except for the ring of the concert things.
Speaker 1: I see, yes, some Australia not Peppina for Tony McManus.
Speaker 1: And we're going to a UK report now and the
Speaker 1: Brady's on the line, did I Ender?
Speaker 3: Good morning, past, good to speak again.
Speaker 1: Great to have you back on the program. Of course,
Speaker 1: Kistama bringing forward Trump's state visit to September. But this
Speaker 1: is not what Charles wanted there Ender, No.
Speaker 3: This is really interesting today. So Trump is in your
Speaker 3: he has been to the NATO summits in the Netherlands,
Speaker 3: and the timing of this it's all about pleasing President Trump.
Speaker 3: So the UK government moving mountains on this one. We
Speaker 3: were initially told that when this second state visit for
Speaker 3: Trump to the UK was being offered, that it would
Speaker 3: be maybe mid twenty sixth, possibly early twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 3: And now we're being told it's going to happen in September.
Speaker 3: President Trump wanted it to happen as soon as possible,
Speaker 3: and he's getting his way now. The King had initially
Speaker 3: said that he would like President Trump to visit for
Speaker 3: maybe lunch and a visit to Balmoral in Scotland at
Speaker 3: some point this year and they could sit down and
Speaker 3: hammer out the detail of the full state visit that
Speaker 3: the King wanted to take place in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3: And now we're hearing it's going to happen in September.
Speaker 3: And President Trump, he's a very kind of instantaneous kind
Speaker 3: of guy. He likes a deal done quickly. He's going
Speaker 3: to get his way. So let's see what's sort of
Speaker 3: a reception he gets from the King, because of course
Speaker 3: Charles is very very fond of Canada, where he is
Speaker 3: of course the King too.
Speaker 1: Yes, wow, very interesting. And Trump's style of to the obvious,
Speaker 1: of keeping everyone in their toes means that at NATO
Speaker 1: you had nations moving with the spind on defense and
Speaker 1: now this move as well, as you say, the date
Speaker 1: being shifted just to keep mister Trump on side. Because
Speaker 1: of this style where you just never know what's coming
Speaker 1: next precisely.
Speaker 3: Look, we know he's a transactional US president the likes
Speaker 3: of which we've never seen before, and it's all about
Speaker 3: the deal. So he's getting his way. He's got his
Speaker 3: way in Europe today, cracking the whip and telling people
Speaker 3: to spend five percent of their GDP on defense, and
Speaker 3: they're all rowing in in line. They're falling over themselves
Speaker 3: to do Trump's bidding and to be seen as on
Speaker 3: his side. So it's quite something to watch.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, the UK report on Australia ever night within the
Speaker 1: Brady and the UK to spend millions on buying US
Speaker 1: FIA jets that can carry NU killo weapons. Tell us
Speaker 1: more about this one.
Speaker 3: Yes, So again this is kir Starmer and the UK
Speaker 3: government taking sides with America and doing everything Trump wants
Speaker 3: of them. He's all about the deal. The UK is
Speaker 3: going to buy a dozen F thirty five A fighter jets. Now,
Speaker 3: these can be equipped with nuclear weapons if needs be.
Speaker 3: Currently the United Kingdom, while it has a supply of
Speaker 3: nuclear weapons, they can only be launched from submarines, so
Speaker 3: this will widen out the armory. It's pretty much a
Speaker 3: kind of two fingers up to Russia doing the deal
Speaker 3: with the Americans. It's obviously a multi billion dollar contract.
Speaker 3: And again, you know, just shaking hands with Trump, keeping
Speaker 3: him on side, and Kier Starmer clearly is doing everything
Speaker 3: in his power to make sure what the Brits have
Speaker 3: always called a special relationship remained special.
Speaker 1: And as you know, our Prime minister was struggling to
Speaker 1: even get a meeting. I know they had to leave
Speaker 1: the Trump left the G seven quite quickly. We wanted
Speaker 1: to meet with Trump. All this Elbow did regarding the
Speaker 1: Orcus agreement. I think there was a review there, well,
Speaker 1: there was a review there. So interestingly, our prime minister's
Speaker 1: finding it hard to sort of get his hands on
Speaker 1: Trump and have a meeting. But Keys Starmer is making
Speaker 1: more progress in that front. To state the obvious.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's been fascinating to watch actually past
Speaker 3: in all honesty Starmer and Trump. You know, Starmer is
Speaker 3: a human rights lawyer, He's a humanitarian, he is a
Speaker 3: big legal brain. He's not massively charismatic, his critics say,
Speaker 3: but I think, you know, for a studious guy who
Speaker 3: is ultimately a socialist leader, leader of the Labor Party,
Speaker 3: he has played a blinder. I mean he gets on
Speaker 3: with Trump. He did that UK US trade deal the
Speaker 3: other week. Starmer, I think, as he approaches his first
Speaker 3: anniversary in the job, which will follow the end of
Speaker 3: next week, he is playing a blinder and a lot
Speaker 3: of other leaders are looking and just wondering how can
Speaker 3: they get time with Trump? And Starmer's doing it the
Speaker 3: right way, you know, offering him things. It's all about
Speaker 3: the deal. He is a transactional president. He wants deals,
Speaker 3: he wants stuff, he wants shiny things. So you just
Speaker 3: got to think of what can you offer America.
Speaker 1: So Keith Stamer obviously, as you say, playing a blind
Speaker 1: a very clever. It's not easy to get the attention
Speaker 1: to Trump and to get him on side that way.
Speaker 1: So maybe there's a very subtle art there to Kiyostama,
Speaker 1: is what you're saying. He must be a strategic and
Speaker 1: playing it very clever to make sure that, you know,
Speaker 1: as PM of the UK, he's keeping that relationship solid.
Speaker 1: So he's doing a good job on that front.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you could not have predicted this from
Speaker 3: Starmer came into power because he's not massively effective speaker.
Speaker 3: He's not a brilliant communicator, and you know he spent
Speaker 3: all his life in law. He is a lawyer prior
Speaker 3: to becoming a politician. He only entered politics in his fifties.
Speaker 3: He was head of the Crown Prosecution Service, which deals
Speaker 3: with criminals and who to go after. And his whole
Speaker 3: life up until going into labor politics was law, law
Speaker 3: and prosecutions. And now he suddenly is the one man
Speaker 3: in Europe who has Trump on speed dial, and Trump
Speaker 3: does listen.
Speaker 1: En de Brady on Australia ever night. The UK Report
Speaker 1: and Wimbledon to commission a statue to Andy Murray for
Speaker 1: its anniversary one hundred and fiftieth anniversary in twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1: And now you're a fan of Andy Murray and I
Speaker 1: guess this is good news.
Speaker 3: I think he's brilliant, but he has achieved how many
Speaker 3: young people he has inspired, certainly in this country to
Speaker 3: go and learn tennis. His brother as well, and not
Speaker 3: forgetting his mother Judy, who pushed the two of them
Speaker 3: and you know, took them out of the UK system,
Speaker 3: took them to Spain where they learned from the absolute
Speaker 3: best in Europe. Andy Murray will have a statue in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty seven at Wimbledon The only British player previously
Speaker 3: to have one male player is Fred Perry, who won
Speaker 3: US I think in nineteen thirty six, and he was
Speaker 3: a legendary old English player and he was the last
Speaker 3: man to win Wimbledon's men single championship until Andy Murray
Speaker 3: came along and of course won it for Scotland and
Speaker 3: the United Kingdom. So two Wimbledon titles, a US Open,
Speaker 3: so that's three slams in total, and two Olympic gold
Speaker 3: medals on top of all the other matches and tournaments
Speaker 3: he won along the way. Andy Murray will have that statue.
Speaker 3: I think it's brilliant. I think he's such an inspiring guy.
Speaker 3: He gets a lot of grief in England because he
Speaker 3: cracked one gag on the radio years ago when he
Speaker 3: was being interviewed about a soccer World Cup and he
Speaker 3: asked him who would he be supporting, and he jokingly
Speaker 3: replied any one but England. People if not like that,
Speaker 3: and it still gets brought up. It just goes to
Speaker 3: show you the power of radio.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's right, and you make ones to the statement
Speaker 1: and sometimes that out of context you can sort of
Speaker 1: see if you're sitting there, Yeah, there's a joke and
Speaker 1: he's sort of poking a bit of fun, stirring it up,
Speaker 1: but obviously it just took the wrong momentum. Wonderful. Great
Speaker 1: to talk to you in the week as a feeling
Speaker 1: for Tony Mac. I guess we'll talk again on the weekend.
Speaker 1: Always love having you on You enjoy your Thursday and
Speaker 1: Wednesday or whatever it is there. I think it's Wednesday
Speaker 1: when you are enjoy you the rest of your week
Speaker 1: and we'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 3: Thanks, Nder, look forward to it. Pat, thanks for having
Speaker 3: me
