1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning. What's surreal images we

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: saw yesterday with the American President Donald Trump. As we

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: were on air esterday about this time yesterday, he was

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: making a speech in the Rose Garden at the White House.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 1: Then he walked across the road to a church that

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: has huge historical influence and repercussions. Abraham Lincoln has prayed there.

7
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: All presidents have prayed in that church, and it was

8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: on fire during the previous week. What we didn't know

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: was that before he walked across that road, and we

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: now know is that peaceful protesters had tear gust, were

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: tear gast, had rubber bullets fired at them. Australian journalists

12
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: were whacked. Did you see them? Storage of them being

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: whacked with baton was trying to get out of the way. Extraordinary.

14
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: But so this was all of this took place so

15
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,639
Speaker 1: that the president could have a photo opportunity. And when

16
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: you see the footage, it is like watching a dictator.

17
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: It's like watching Kim Jong un. It made no sense.

18
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: So there he was with a phalanx of people walking

19
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: across the street to a church. He asked for no

20
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: permission to be there. The bishop of that church said,

21
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: I don't approve of the church being used as a

22
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: photo opportunity prop here. So he stands in front of

23
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: the closed, shut it up church, holds up a Bible,

24
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: has a photo taken, and walks back across the street

25
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: to the White House. Again. It was the most ogreish,

26
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: strange thing. It looked like President Snow from Hunger Games.

27
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: And the cynicism of is he a religious man? This

28
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: is the thing. He doesn't strike me as a religious man.

29
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: He the cynicism of him holding a Bible, because he's

30
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: claimed a number of times in the past how important

31
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: the Bible is to him. But have a listen to

32
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: this interview grab from twenty fifteen. I think he's probably

33
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: running for the presidency at this point where he was

34
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: asked about the significance of the Bible.

35
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: You mentioned the Bible. You've been talking about how it's

36
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: your favorite book, and you said, I think last night

37
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: in Iowa, some people are surprised that you say that.

38
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 2: I'm wondering what one or two of your most favorite

39
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 2: Bible verses are.

40
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to get into it, because to me,

41
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: that's very personal.

42
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: You don't want to talk about the Bible.

43
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: It is very personal, so.

44
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: I don't want to get into versus. I don't want

45
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: to get into It means a lot to you that

46
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: you think about her site the Bible means a lot

47
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: to me. But I don't want to get into specifics,

48
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: even to site of verse thing. I don't want to

49
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: do that. Every old Testament or Testament probably equal.

50
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: I think it's just an incredible The whole Bible is

51
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: an incredible eye joke very much. So they always hold

52
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: up the art of the deal.

53
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: I say, my second favorite book of all time.

54
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: But I just think the Bible is just something very special.

55
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: And he means the out of the deal, that's the book. Yeah,

56
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: And he makes jokes that that's my second favorite book.

57
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: He's obviously never ever read the Bible, which is fine,

58
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: but don't pretend then that it has the significance to you.

59
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: And when he held up the Bible outside that church yesterday,

60
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 1: someone called out, is your Bible? And he said it's

61
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: a Bible. Seriously, he said, it's a Bible. We are

62
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: watching America collapse before our very eyes. Man, don't we

63
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: down my back and tell me it's Hollywood A Donald No,
