You're a traitor, you're a grafter, you work hard, you know a deal when you see one
0:04
Of course, yeah. What do you see when you look at President Trump? I like, the thing that I like about President Trump is he says it exactly how it is
0:14
Now, I think we've got a problem in this country, and we've had it for a long time, that politicians don't always do what they say
0:21
They sort of say something to get you on the side, and yet you go down the road and it doesn't happen
0:26
And that upsets a lot of people because they put their trust and their faith into politicians. yet with Trump, he says it and it happens, you know
0:33
and that's quite refreshing to see, I suppose. I don't think he cares either, does he
0:39
Do you know, he doesn't care if he ups... You know, it's Trump's one, and that's how it's going to be
0:44
And he does show, whether you like him or whether you don't
0:47
he shows a lot of power, do you know what I mean? And he shows the world that... Do you think we need to do a bit more of that, yeah
0:52
Yeah, I think, yeah, listen, how can we go from being the greatest country in the world
0:58
to a little bit of a laughingstock sometimes, you know? Like, as much as I don't want to dig Keir out on a telly
1:05
but, like, you wouldn't want him if he's having a fight in a pub. Do you know what I'm saying
1:10
You need someone with a little bit who's going to stick up for you. Do you know what I'm saying? He's going to try and prosecute you
1:14
Yeah. You just want someone, you know, that he was going to kick off
1:17
that got your back. Yeah. Well, no, I get that. Now, also, I couldn't let you get going without asking
1:23
you met J.D. Vance when he was in the Cotswolds. Is that right
1:27
I did, yeah. Well how did that come about and what was that like Mate so um a little bizarre Obviously I a market trader and got a message off of the Vice President of America
1:40
on my Twitter basically saying, look, fan of your videos. Love the positivity you're spreading to the world
1:47
I'm coming to the Cotswolds. I'd love to meet you if you're available
1:51
And I thought, wow, look, this is the Vice President. He's the second most powerful man in the world
1:55
He's messaging me. So, I'm going, oh, look, this out, the other. and look, whether you agree
2:02
whether you're a Republican or not, you agree with their politics or not
2:07
you're not really ever going to get asked by someone to go and meet you for a barbecue
2:12
You've got to say yes. And I was like, wow, this is a bit of a big opportunity. You know what I mean
2:17
I feel a bit privileged. He's asked me. Everyone, he's asked me. So I took my wife and my kids down to Blenheim Palace
2:24
Beautiful walk round the gardens. Middle of the sun, beautiful, had a lovely day out. Goes back to the hotel
2:28

2:34
we've got to get something to the vice president. So we got a big bottle of Lauren Perry rose champagne
2:40
lovely box of chocolates, and she bought a massive tub of water bombs for his kids
2:44
because his kids were here. So as we're going down to the Cotswolds to see him
2:49
