you a little. So naturally, when they announced

they'd be raising their prices due to inflation,

0:52

we decided to deflate our prices due to

0:54

not hating you. That's right! We're cutting the

1:18

Hello. Hello. You alright?

1:21

Yes, I'm very well. You were scooping. Yes,

1:23

but I can't tell you about that yet. I'll

1:25

tell you about that tomorrow. Although I did be

1:28

speaking to Nancy Pelosi, very big famous American politician,

1:30

although she's quite little actually. So she's not a

1:32

big famous politician in the true sense of the

1:34

word. We'll hear a bit of

1:36

that later and we'll talk to our chum James

1:39

Landale in Jerusalem about his scoop today. But

1:41

yesterday we were talking a lot about Scotland

1:43

and I'm sure we'll talk a lot about

1:46

that tomorrow. But

1:48

we had an episode where

1:50

in good old-fashioned newscast style

1:53

I ended up talking for a long time in the back

1:55

of a taxi. Which got

1:57

everyone wondering was the weirdest place broadcast.

2:00

have broadcast from so

2:03

I have done bikes. Bikes?

2:06

I'm on bikes. That's not safe.

2:09

Boats and beds.

2:12

Bed? I have. Are you

2:14

the Tracy Emmen of Radio 4? I am

2:16

actually in a way because I am in many ways

2:18

the Tracy Emmen of Radio 4 but a very good

2:20

place to get a good

2:22

soundproof environment is under the

2:24

duvet. Oh I see I don't

2:26

know what you were saying there a very good

2:29

place to get... Oh okay

2:31

well that's true. Yes I've done that too with a

2:33

scarf and a blanket. I had

2:35

a big scarf that I always used to take with me

2:37

on trips for that very purpose. So you were sitting in

2:39

the back of a plane or a train with

2:41

a big blanket over your head getting some strange

2:43

looks from fellow travellers. Yes well okay

2:46

so look that's the answer to the

2:48

question we were broadcast from and we

2:50

had an emergency edition of Newscast on

2:52

Scottish Politics because it's kind of like

2:54

Game of Thrones time in Scottish Politics

2:56

at the moment. That's a good description.

2:58

So we've basically got a very fast

3:00

moving news weekend and that reminds us

3:02

that basically one of the biggest stories

3:05

in the world is connecting all the

3:07

world leaders together and it's making headlines

3:09

and there's been a sort of BBC

3:11

story which is very important this weekend.

3:13

And we're going to start with

3:15

that on today's episode of weekend

3:18

Newscast. Newscast from the BBC.

3:20

Hundreds of bald men scrapping over

3:22

a single broken tone. He's not

3:24

a leader he is a human

3:27

weather vane. Two cheeks of the

3:29

same backside. No politicians are listening

3:31

to what's happening. We essentially need a

3:33

bigger physique. Why do you always think

3:35

that the way you live is better

3:38

than the way we live? The AI

3:40

will be able to do everything. The appalling

3:42

Willy Wonka experience gets paid for life. So

3:45

the BBC is reporting this weekend that

3:47

British troops could be used to deliver

3:50

aid from American landing craft on a

3:52

new pontoon being built in Gaza. They

3:54

are not being authorised but they could

3:56

be authorised. That is the story that's

3:58

making the headlines. So I'm pleased

4:01

to say joining us from Jerusalem is

4:03

our diplomatic correspondent James Langale. Hello James,

4:05

tell us more than about this intriguing

4:07

story. Hello guys. Yeah,

4:09

well greetings from a very warm Jerusalem.

4:13

Basically what happened was early this week

4:15

the Pentagon had a briefing about this new

4:18

maritime aid corridor that's going to open up

4:20

into Gaza and they went through in huge

4:22

amount of detail about what they're doing but

4:25

they left a massive great gap and

4:27

that was who on earth is going

4:29

to drive these aid trucks off the

4:31

landing craft onto that floating pontoon jetty

4:33

pier, everybody's got a different name for

4:35

it, onto the beach and there was

4:38

a big gap there. They just said,

4:40

well it'll be an unnamed third party,

4:42

it'll be a significant partner

4:44

of the US. They confirmed

4:46

it wouldn't be some sort of private military

4:48

contractor, it would be a nation that would

4:50

be providing the troops to do it. So

4:53

there was a sort of big gap there and I

4:55

just heard from my own sources that the UK

4:58

was considering filling that role. Considering

5:00

they haven't decided yet and it hasn't reached the Prime

5:02

Minister's desk but it was definitely an

5:04

option they were looking at. Can I ask you, when

5:06

you say the Prime Minister's desk, it's

5:09

going to be him who gives the green light or the

5:11

red light? Yeah, I think that's likely.

5:14

Any decision to deploy British troops in

5:16

harm's way is, you know,

5:18

it's a core decision of whoever is Prime Minister

5:21

of this country and the key point is that

5:23

these people would be in harm's way. They would

5:25

be on the beach in Gaza,

5:28

yes they would be operating in

5:30

a very secure distribution zone

5:32

that the Israelis would have a huge

5:34

amount of protection for. There

5:36

would be a lot of US and other aircraft in

5:38

the air, there would be lots of ships on the

5:40

coast. So it would definitely be one

5:42

of the safer areas of Gaza but

5:45

there's no such thing as absolute security.

5:47

There's always the possibility of something going

5:49

wrong and if you're on a beach

5:51

in Gaza you're closer to Hamas than

5:55

many people would want to be. And James, what kind

5:57

of statement would it make also if British forces...

6:00

Actually, I. Physically. Out

6:02

there during that kind of work is often

6:04

with these things. They come around politically and

6:06

in the end. The. Numbers that you

6:08

hear of might be absolutely tiny. You

6:10

know that my is it system specialists

6:12

in one country providing particular assistance to

6:14

another country in the developing world somewhere.

6:16

But what kind of symbolism would it

6:18

have to think of British. Troops as

6:20

he ended up. Look, I'm I

6:22

think they'll be symbols. I'm positive

6:24

and negative across the peace. the

6:26

positives would be okay. This is

6:28

the Uk preparing to take some

6:31

risks to step up. To

6:33

do something the Americans were prepared to

6:35

do. ah and see the some people

6:37

say okay that's a good thing in

6:39

the and and getting aid in our

6:41

is a good thing. I'm so it

6:43

would earn the Uk a few sort

6:45

of diplomatic brownie points. But on the

6:47

other hand, remember there's a huge amount

6:49

of historical baggage. Arm.

6:51

They're all mutt so Palestinians allies

6:53

to have negative memories of British

6:55

colonial history Arm of the way

6:57

the British forces operated, particularly during

6:59

the Arab Rebellion in Nineteen Thirty

7:01

Six arm and the fact that

7:03

the British forces were still on

7:05

the grub so much and Forty

7:07

Eight when his Roka i'm good

7:09

as independents are And so the

7:11

idea of the of British forces

7:13

big bats. Are in might be

7:15

something that triggers negative members are among some

7:17

some Palestinians are thinking that that there suddenly

7:19

risks in this kind of cool for it's

7:21

it's a big decision To the thing is

7:23

that doesn't have to be made quite quickly.

7:25

Can drive these trucks to the American say

7:28

the things. going to be up and running

7:30

a boy early next month and smoke in

7:32

a my boss tells me it's the twenty

7:34

seventh. Yeah had that. We've been really appreciating

7:36

your reporting from Jerusalem. This is a new

7:38

front if you like in every sense but

7:40

as as the information which on to get

7:42

and in terms of using the sure to

7:44

take the. Aid and but I want to

7:46

take you to the land to take

7:48

the laid at the at to take

7:50

that a Aid And because I spoke

7:52

on Radio Four Yan Egeland who's one

7:54

of the people who came closest to

7:56

signing peace in Oslo He said look

7:58

guys are you Israel. Open the

8:00

crossings. Open the other crossings. You

8:02

control them. You can put a

8:05

sharks in. There is no other

8:07

way to describe what has be

8:09

fallen on the three hundred thousand

8:11

people who live in the ruins

8:13

of the North. And. Know haven't

8:15

had really any aid for a

8:18

very long time. Because Israel

8:20

is not opening the border crossings

8:22

from where we could have had

8:24

hundreds and hundreds of trucks to

8:26

feed the women, the children, the

8:28

families the in innocent. So James

8:30

one, how much is Israel blamed

8:33

by the internet community for not

8:35

getting aid in and to when

8:37

the eighties coming in? Where's it

8:39

coming in from? So you're absolutely

8:41

right. There is a blog big

8:43

post called as. Don't just a

8:45

few miles north of Gaza in Israel.

8:48

And Ah, that's a perfectly good post.

8:50

The age could be delivered that you

8:52

don't need to have a big maritime

8:54

operation, floating platforms, and all the rest

8:56

of it's Ah. So Israel is facing

8:58

a lot of criticism from the international

9:01

community for not doing enough for they're

9:03

just being too many logistical hoops to

9:05

get through. Ah, Israel claims that in

9:07

recent days it has on on occasion

9:09

got four hundred trucks through. The aim

9:11

is five hundred the American said on

9:14

Thursday their latest. Data was on average

9:16

about two hundred and twenty trucks. They're getting

9:18

three by land studies the Un and the

9:20

idea is is is that that's clearly not

9:22

enough because of the humanitarian need. In the

9:24

last few days has been a really big

9:27

heat wave in this part of the world.

9:29

Are ads in I'm in A in Tel

9:31

Aviv. That's mean there's been lots of whether

9:33

stories but have stay cool in Gaza. People

9:35

have died as a result of that heat.

9:38

So does a really big problem. The age

9:40

is getting through primarily from the South. Ah,

9:43

the Israelis have opened up a new

9:45

routes in the North, but we simply

9:47

don't know how much he's getting through

9:49

this because we're just not guessing the

9:52

data. Occasionally they'll be Israelis were published

9:54

and picture say who they are so

9:56

some trucks are getting through, but the

9:59

enjoys in the. In you and make

10:01

very clear it's simply not enough. And

10:03

just to back to year skate today

10:05

James about. The possibility of British troops going to

10:07

provide wet beats a hard to call it is one

10:09

and I saw I've never heard that and. Save Military

10:11

times! Wet boots on the ground. Grant.

10:14

Shapps to defend seconds. He was asked in

10:16

parliament by John Mcdonnell whether. Or not the

10:18

could be Uk boots on the. Grand. This is

10:21

what he says. From Researchers Break survives

10:23

mister Saddam be no deployment to

10:25

put his troops on the ground

10:27

in Gaza, Israel or was fine

10:29

without the approval to spouse. Was

10:33

a d isn't going to be

10:35

Asia deployments i know to father's

10:37

house so. Branch out serving

10:39

as specifically. Not will they ever

10:41

go. But if they got sent would there

10:43

be a votes? Do you think it would have

10:45

to be a vote on something like this? If

10:47

the premise sir Doug think does think it's ago

10:49

or James would. I think this is

10:51

the possibility in the option is there

10:54

because this is not an emergency deployments.

10:56

Ah, it's not something that has to

10:58

be made late at night by the

11:00

Prime minister with his closes National Security

11:02

Advisor to respond to a fast moving

11:04

developing situation where there is risk and

11:06

you need to move fast. This is

11:08

a strategic deployments. It's something that ah

11:11

you know could be done. On

11:13

know judiciously and so it the

11:15

option of asking parliament to supports

11:18

it or is certainly there whether

11:20

or not the prime minister would

11:22

have to take hits. I

11:26

get there. a lot. Different views about

11:28

this are the fact that this is

11:31

not Earth and aggressive deployments. A full

11:33

said is not there to ah far

11:35

at things, moves, things, attack things. it's

11:37

there in a humanitarian wrote. Some people

11:39

might say in a different way but

11:42

it opens up an interesting question. I

11:44

think about whether you once legitimacy and

11:46

support from parliament's do it yeah loose.

11:48

It opens up another question which I've

11:51

raised with Laura before which is you

11:53

can't and franchise are you will Foreign

11:55

Policy to Benjamin. Netanyahu. We're in a

11:57

position where you're telling me there's

11:59

a fruit question him parliament about

12:01

dispatching British military assets to Gaza

12:04

within ten feet of hammers. And

12:06

as a this is because of

12:08

the way that Benjamin Netanyahu is

12:10

pursuing or not pursuing peace talks.

12:12

That seems to me James as

12:14

an active conversation among Western leaders

12:16

is is my foreign policy being

12:18

run by Benjamin Netanyahu. I. Think

12:20

I think the government would dispute

12:22

that because they would say look,

12:25

you know we're doing our thing

12:27

and some of all things are

12:29

Benjamin Netanyahu does not like I'm

12:31

The Israelis have been incredibly discomfited.

12:33

By the way. for example, Lord

12:35

Camera Foreign Secretary has been pretty

12:37

punchy about the treatment of civilians

12:39

in Gaza, the lack of access

12:42

for humanitarian aid. I'm in that

12:44

there's been a lot of political

12:46

backlash against David Cameron over that.

12:48

Ah, I think the truth. Actually.

12:50

Is that the West is and

12:53

have not outsource their foreign policy

12:55

to the Israeli government? The Israeli

12:57

government is just largely ignoring Western

13:00

foreign policy. Ah, the only really

13:02

big moment when the Israelis. Actually,

13:05

Suddenly change policy. They had a cabinet meetings

13:08

and said right, we are going to shift

13:10

to this on this and get more aid

13:12

into Gaza was when there was a tough

13:14

conversation between President Joe Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu

13:17

and Job. I'd basically said look if you

13:19

do not allow eighteen and yeah this was

13:21

after the the death of those humanitarian workers.

13:23

Ah, we are going to change or Us

13:26

policy and that was the moment when that

13:28

was at least half of blink by the

13:30

Cabinet here in Israel where they said okay,

13:32

we're going to chase but mostly. These

13:35

ready com is just doing its own say

13:37

yeah and is driven by internal pressure is

13:39

rather next and well, opposite discipline. Another disagrees

13:41

it seems to be there are dangers for

13:43

the prime minister here as well as there

13:45

are you know decision as to be taken

13:47

at James. thank you for briefing us on

13:50

the heat wave have been painted A sufficient

13:52

attention to that. your story know about. Use.

13:54

a british troops as a possible outcomes

13:57

for the american aid mission thank you

13:59

very much joining us on this episode

14:01

of Newscast. My pleasure, it's always

14:03

good to come on. Thank you James.

14:05

Can I just ask you as you're still there, what's

14:08

the weirdest place you've ever done TV or radio from

14:10

because we were talking about it a few minutes ago?

14:13

The weirdest, do you mean lives or

14:16

just, the weirdest place

14:18

was Aung

14:20

San Suu Kyi's garden in

14:24

Rangoon with

14:27

David Cameron on the

14:29

fourth day of a five nation

14:32

Asian tour and I

14:34

was so catatonically exhausted I

14:37

could hardly speak, let alone

14:39

write, let alone broadcast and

14:41

my soul memory was sitting there

14:43

thinking I'm sitting next door to David

14:46

Cameron, the Prime Minister, Aung San Suu

14:48

Kyi then this great iconic figure next

14:50

to me is this great lake which

14:52

had a historical sort of importance

14:54

because of the time she'd spent in

14:57

house arrest there and all

14:59

I could think was I'm so exhausted

15:01

I can appreciate none of this and

15:04

I'm trying to tap out a

15:06

very very simple report for the

15:08

telly and it was

15:10

just you know a source of huge

15:12

frustration in an extraordinary place. It's like

15:15

a sort of correspondence Cluedo, it's James

15:18

Langdell with David Cameron in Aung San Suu Kyi's

15:20

garden I think

15:22

that was quite a show-offy one actually

15:25

really I mean I was expecting you

15:27

know people saying car parks you know

15:29

public loo's because there was nowhere else

15:31

where there weren't people milling around Aung

15:33

San Suu Kyi's garden is quite a

15:35

high level one as befitting our diplomatic

15:38

correspondence James Langdell. So

15:47

Just as we've seen on the

15:49

streets of the Uk, the impact

15:51

of the war between Israel and

15:53

Hamas in Gaza has reverberated around

15:55

the world onto the streets. That's

15:57

right, and particularly from streets onto

15:59

American Universities. The campuses A went

16:01

election year. In an election year

16:03

and enough ferry see Brian political

16:05

environment from top to toe and

16:07

east west And these protests seem

16:09

to started at Columbia University in

16:11

New York, but it's spread nine

16:13

to Georgia to Texas to Ohio

16:15

to some campuses in California. There

16:17

have even been some arrests. odd

16:19

the republican speaker of the house

16:22

and Congress suggested that the National

16:24

Guard should be sent in. If

16:26

this is not contain quickly and if is

16:28

be threats and intimidation are are not stop

16:30

there isn't appropriate time for the national Guard.

16:32

We have to bring order to these campuses.

16:35

We cannot allow this to happen around the

16:37

country. We're better than this, We're better than

16:39

this and I'll have to prevent to do

16:41

that and also members into so. Clearly this

16:43

has become very see briles. They've been

16:45

hundreds of s an arrest nine students

16:47

accused of trespassing says here from one

16:50

of them Sarah a protest or was

16:52

a student in City College of New

16:54

York and see is a Palestinian American

16:56

place. He was hit say. Sitting.

16:59

Here and faculty years or not. Scared of

17:01

anything, they're willing to risk their careers, their

17:03

to risk their school as their personal lives.

17:05

They know that there's a restaurant, they know

17:07

there. there's risk the suspense sense, but they're

17:09

willing to stand here and risk it all

17:11

for Palestine. Meanwhile some Jewish students have

17:13

been saying they feel frightened coming to

17:15

school which is over. See their word

17:18

for college like this one from Columbia

17:20

University in New York City. When you

17:22

walk by you hear things about like

17:24

Intifada and it's terrifying The here of

17:26

people who I go to class with

17:28

one group projects with women clubs with

17:31

chanting for that It's like a personal

17:33

attack and it's a threat to me

17:35

and my friends. So for news cast

17:37

guess what Laura has been speaking to

17:39

the form of famous Speaker of the

17:41

House. Of Representatives Nancy Pelosi When

17:44

this will be bread and butter

17:46

politics First. He absolutely and if you

17:48

don't you want to buy it has. He

17:50

has been one of my senior politicians in

17:52

the U S for a long time. She's

17:54

a close ally and friend of the President

17:56

President Biden, and she's one of these people

17:59

he said as. You know, seen it

18:01

all done. it. Oh she is I

18:03

think in her early eighties and see

18:05

has been a prominent figure at the

18:07

forefront of democratic politics in the U

18:10

S. Facing away, battling

18:12

away sees the Nancy that Donald

18:14

Trump and his supporters called crazy

18:16

Nancy during his time in office

18:18

Hearing all the toxicity See those

18:20

who: the politician whose husband was

18:22

attacked very seriously by someone who

18:24

identified themselves with that whole make

18:26

a Guy America Great Again movements.

18:29

I'm see somebody with a lot

18:31

chopped rights as she's also seen

18:33

much of this before student protesters

18:35

the Nineteen sixties of with the

18:37

she was. Part of the Civil Rights

18:39

movement with old the tensions both across

18:41

the states. And also within the last about

18:43

tactics and to be sat down with her

18:45

yesterday the American Embassy in London and she

18:48

was really interesting on this because she has

18:50

no sound as Benjamin Netanyahu by we know

18:52

that America politicians tend to support Israel, but

18:55

she is no fan of Netanyahu and she

18:57

is appalled by what is going on in

18:59

Gaza. But she also.

19:01

Had a message for protesters saying

19:03

that you cannot just object to

19:06

what Israel is doing. You.

19:08

Must also call light the had renders

19:10

activities of Hum us when this all

19:12

started nuts over the seventh. This is

19:14

said, how can you ever criticized demonstrations

19:17

on campuses? That's a way of life

19:19

for us and our country though. We.

19:22

Would like to see some of

19:24

that than susie as I'm recognize

19:26

Hamas as a terrorist organization that

19:28

is a barbaric saying. And Israel

19:30

on Oct Seven. So I lived in

19:32

New York for ten years and covered

19:34

American poses as an intern in D

19:37

C as a young man. And I

19:39

use the word young man because I

19:41

got to see first hand. American students

19:43

are plus size. they are and they

19:45

they. It's not fair to think they

19:47

all from the last. There's a very

19:49

big politicized campus feelings and they're living

19:52

their best life. Is world's richest democracy

19:54

and they're full of optimism in better

19:56

times that they can go all the

19:58

way to the presidency. Analysis: You

20:00

know, I can't become head of state,

20:02

but as a young, vigorous political student,

20:04

we will have them listening now to

20:07

newscast. You can dream to

20:09

go all the way to the top.

20:11

You can dream to be the state

20:13

governor. You can dream to be the

20:15

senator. You can dream of fabulous democratic

20:17

jobs. And guess what they're doing? They're

20:19

going to take this war to the ballot

20:21

box in six months time. So this

20:23

campus protest has got the potential to

20:25

swing the vote for the White House.

20:27

It does. And it's one of the

20:30

things that the Democrats in America have been contemplating,

20:32

processing, having to deal with. President

20:35

Biden is helping Israel in this war.

20:37

We talked about it a couple of weeks ago

20:39

with American forces alongside some British forces giving

20:41

Israel military support on that

20:44

night when there's 300 drones

20:46

and missiles went into Israel.

20:49

And yet he has a big caucus, to

20:51

use the American word, inside

20:53

the Democratic Party, particularly tipped towards younger voters

20:55

that is very, very anxious about what they

20:57

see here. And it's mirrored in a sort

20:59

of smaller way with the travails that Keir

21:02

Starmer has had with the Labour Party. But

21:04

I think this is a bigger

21:06

deal. And seeing students protesting like

21:08

this, some of the pictures have been really, you

21:11

know, some of the hardcore. It's

21:13

the thing and it seems to be building, I suppose. That's

21:16

the point. That's a good point for this

21:18

episode. Can I ask you, because you spoke to one of

21:20

the word, the word is veteran. And every time you ask

21:22

a veteran, they say, you're calling the old. You

21:25

really did speak to a remarkable woman.

21:27

She's remarkable. Absolutely amazing. I'm so jealous.

21:30

Congratulations. But did you

21:32

get a feeling that this is an

21:34

age wedge issue? Is this like a

21:36

youth quake issue where young Democrat voters

21:39

might not vote for it, not go

21:41

for Biden, something like that? I

21:43

think it is a symbol of something that

21:45

was already present. I see things often are.

21:47

So if you think of somebody like AOC,

21:49

you know, those sort of superstar

21:52

New York Senator who has a

21:54

really big youth following. And

21:56

she is definitely on the sort of radical

21:58

edge of the democratic. party, not

22:01

outside, inside the party. But I think

22:03

this is a sort of symbol and

22:05

maybe is exaggerating that sense of a

22:07

divide inside the democratic party. In the

22:10

same way, if you rewind a bit

22:12

here, we had youth, young people in

22:14

the Labour Party, young people attracted to

22:16

the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn, whereas

22:18

many of the sort of malcontents were

22:21

people who were anxious about his level

22:23

of radicalism were, you know, more traditional,

22:25

read older Labour voters. It's interesting

22:27

that you say youthquake because that was one of these things that were

22:29

sort of written about the time. And then

22:31

actually some of the political boffins afterwards

22:34

said, Oh, it didn't really happen. But

22:36

it was a kind of felt like

22:38

a phenomenon. So I think at this

22:40

point, it's probably too early to say

22:42

if this is going to be something

22:44

that is really going to create huge

22:46

problems for the democratic party. But

22:49

the democratic party has got a lot of problems.

22:51

And this is certainly one of them. So I

22:53

suppose I'm both proving and disproving, disproving

22:55

the argument here. Yeah, because there's another thought

22:57

which we won't get to in this. But

22:59

I'll lay it on the line so that

23:01

perhaps newscasters can get to me if they

23:03

think I'm wrong here. There's actually a sort

23:06

of disadvantage to incumbency. You could

23:08

argue that this is difficult for the Conservative Party

23:10

in the UK after 14 years, everything that's going

23:12

wrong, we get them in our studios and we

23:14

say, Well, what happened in the 14 years

23:17

when you were running immigration that's now got to

23:19

this position where you want to reboot? And if

23:21

you are the US President, you're meant to have

23:23

this relationship with Israel and the global leadership in

23:26

your pocket and you haven't, you haven't got it. And

23:28

it's tricky, isn't it? And I think one of the other

23:30

things talking to Pelosi is she is worried about

23:32

the sort of state of democracy worldwide.

23:34

She's worried about the tie ups between

23:36

Russia, China and Iran. We've talked a lot

23:38

about in the last few weeks, she's worried

23:41

about the impact for democracy. If Trump is

23:43

on his way back to the White House,

23:45

she told me very confidently that Trump won't

23:47

win. But I suppose she has to say

23:49

that doesn't she? But she has a very

23:51

strong view about his what she

23:53

sees as his unsuitability for office.

23:56

But it was really fascinating to talk to somebody who's got

23:59

such a long view of politics

24:01

and you can see more of the

24:03
