1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Jobs with Jonesy and Amanda. 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 2: What a weekend. I've been very emotional, watching speeches, watching parties. 3 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 2: It's like a door has opened and a fresh breeze 4 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 2: is washing through. Hugh Rimington obviously has been on the 5 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 2: streets of Washington. He's still there. 6 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 3: I say, he's our man, he's our man. I know 7 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 3: he's with aligned with Channel ten, but I feel that 8 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 3: we're a sidebar. Would that be fair to say you, hello. 9 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 4: You look. I think that's true, And you're quite right. 10 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 4: I'm still on the streets because then you're paying me. 11 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 4: That's where I live at the moment. I under a tree. 12 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 2: It does seem from here that there's this huge celebration. 13 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 2: If someone had said to me, people will take to 14 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 2: the streets, I would have been anxious that it was 15 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 2: going to be a negative energy. But it's it just 16 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 2: seems joyous from here. 17 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 4: Well yesterday and Washington. I mean, you've got to take 18 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 4: this into account, that is that the big cities and 19 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 4: particularly inner cities of the United States overwhelming be both 20 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 4: Democrats and the Republican you know, energy and support of 21 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 4: which there is an enormous amount lies broadly speaking elsewhere. 22 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 4: So if you go to any of the big cities 23 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 4: New York, Downtown New York, if you go to Philadelphia, 24 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 4: to LA to Washington, you're going to see big celebrations. 25 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 4: And that is exactly what we saw. In fact, as 26 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 4: the news came through yesterday, I was watching on CNN 27 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 4: and they called it, and I think at the same 28 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 4: time CBS and others were calling it. Roughly at the 29 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 4: same time. It's suddenly you heard out the window car 30 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 4: honks and people yelling, and I'm only a few blocks 31 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 4: from the White House and I just trotted down there. 32 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 4: People were just starting to gather and they literally I 33 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 4: was still there at what is at four o'clock in 34 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 4: the morning, there still people dancing outside. There was just 35 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 4: phenomenal and people can downce it mate. 36 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 3: So how do the Republican supporters go with this? They 37 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 3: are they taking it well. 38 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 2: Or because there's still a lot of them. 39 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 3: There's a lot of them. 40 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 4: It's an enormous amount. 41 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: I mean, there's been a couple of isolated instances that 42 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: have sort of broken onto news that we're aware of of, 43 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: sort of punches thrown and a bit of push and 44 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: shave and some soundness and this sort of stuff going on. 45 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 4: It's a bus country. It's got a lot of people. 46 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 4: They're a seventy minute voted for Donald Trump. He's got 47 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 4: the second largest number of votes ever accrued by any 48 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 4: presidential candidate and lose them. It's a bit like winning 49 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 4: the world record becoming second in race. They're breaking them 50 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 4: world record. But so you know that will be as 51 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 4: people always are when your candidates los as you feel better. 52 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 4: But there's another element to it. And you've got so 53 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 4: many people here the way the media works, who only 54 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 4: watch outlets, which a sense you reflect back to them, 55 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 4: are kind of a trumpest view of the world, who 56 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 4: only know people vote for Trump, who have no other 57 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 4: concepts of it, and they simply cannot believe. They just 58 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 4: don't believe that people vote Democrat. And so quite easy 59 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 4: just to for the president in a sense, to say 60 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 4: I won the election. And they're telling you other liss 61 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 4: because they stole the election, and that there many of 62 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 4: them are kind of torn in this world. Is he 63 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 4: right or do we have to accept it? You know 64 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 4: that I don't think there's a lot of denial going 65 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 4: on at the moment. 66 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 2: It's extremely unpresidential, isn't it that this is how the 67 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 2: handover looks like it's going to happen. Is it unprecedented 68 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: to not have a concession speech. I heard it was 69 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 2: Jared Kushner's job to tap him on the shoulder and say, hey, 70 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Donald, Are you going to have to it's over, mate? 71 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, there has to be someone, almost from within 72 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 4: his family because others. He has such a sense of 73 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 4: loyalty and demands on people's personal loyalty that if you 74 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 4: feel someone's been disloyal, he can bear a grudge. And 75 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 4: because he's still going to remain a powerful figure, you 76 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 4: know he can. He can, you know, just with a tweet, 77 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 4: just with an angry word, destroy someone's future career within 78 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 4: the system. So there's qreat nervousness about going up to 79 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 4: the White House. Congressman, senators, you know they happen with Nixon. 80 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 4: Ultimately it was senior conservatives when did to Nixon's sense 81 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 4: of time is up and that's what he knew as 82 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 4: time was up. No one's doing that to him. But 83 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 4: we hear a report that Milania Trump has started to 84 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 4: condition him to the fact that he lost the election. 85 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 4: He's going to have to move on. But at the moment, 86 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 4: there is no concession. There's no modern precedence for that 87 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 4: for one person to claim it and to start working 88 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 4: on the transition, building his COVID task Force, all the 89 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 4: stuff that Joe Biden's doing while he's still got another 90 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 4: guy in there tweeting out I won the election. Yeah, 91 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 4: it's weird. Wow. 92 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 2: And as you say, he still has a long time 93 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: to go. He can do a lot of damage in 94 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: the next couple of months. 95 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 4: Yes, I mean, he is still the president and he 96 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 4: remains the commander in chief of the military. What will 97 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 4: happen though, in practical terms, is that there will be 98 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 4: if he does anything like there is a sort of 99 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 4: a caretaker period that everyone would acknowledge. If he was 100 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 4: to do something that wasn't justified by say external event, 101 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 4: if there was God forbidden another attack on the Trintaws 102 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 4: or something like that, he would have to respond to 103 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 4: that as the president. But there will be other restrictions 104 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 4: on him, you know, because politicians are smart about this, 105 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 4: to stop him doing something completely ridiculous, you know, you know, 106 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 4: raiding the treasury, you know, going back to a gold 107 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 4: standard all this. Whatever it might be that he wants 108 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 4: to it probably won't happen, but he does remain the 109 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 4: president until January midnight on January the nineteenth. 110 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 3: What'd you have better check the curtain rods and Steve, 111 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 3: he doesn't put some raw prawns or something. That's what 112 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 3: I'd be doing doing well, Hugh. It's always a treat 113 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 3: to talk to you, and we love you. Being aligned 114 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 3: with us. 115 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 4: Well, that's fabulous. I do have to report a little disappointment. 116 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 4: I've been on the hunt for your French magnets and 117 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 4: I can't find a single one joke. We'll we'll see. 118 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 3: What about some wine. We'll send you some jams. 119 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 4: No, no, I can't be bought, but I can't get 120 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 4: I'll get you a few badges. I'm still on the 121 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 4: hunt for the French magnet. 122 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 2: I'd love a badge. 123 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 4: All right, we'll work on it. 124 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 2: Thank you, Hugh. 125 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 4: You Amanda,
