Well hello Tina, it's good to see you! Hi Adam, it's good to see you as well. Yeah, so a quiet week in America then, I gather. Not likely. Yeah, it's the opposite of that. well, well what's been happening to you then? Well, as you probably heard from across the pond there, we've had ourselves a presidential election finale. Yeah. behind you it says Trump 2024 take America back. Well and if you took it back. I think we took it back plus some. What do think? I well, I saw the map and I was stunned if you just got rid of California and a bit of the East Coast where New York is. I think that's the end of it, wouldn't it? The rest is red. So the Democrats took a terrible beating then, didn't they? I'd say that's an understatement. Yeah, I think they had it handed to them. But didn't everybody say they were going to win? And it was a foregone conclusion. Yeah, I think that's what they want you to think. You know, they try to mind meld you into that. Well, it's quite funny because Vicky watches, I'm not sure what the channel is or whatever, but some series she watches, she has to watch from an American television link. So she uses a VPN on it. And she said the only thing she's been served up with over the last three months is Kamala Harris adverts. mean, much did they outspend Trump by? Well, so to to win here, you have to win by 270 electoral votes. Trump got 312. Yeah, and Harris got 226. So and usually, you know, I don't know how many people over there watch, but usually, you know, the candidates only usually win by one state. You know, it's like six or seven or maybe 12 votes or something. I mean, he almost got a hundred over her. So what does that say about the way Americans were feeling then? Yeah, I think it's a it's a big message. I think it's loud. I think it's clear. I think that, you know, we're saying, hey, we're done with this. We're taking it back. Your way doesn't work. In fact, it's destroyed a lot of stuff. And I think that the United States is alone in that statement. I think that it's every country has seen the United States performance in the past four years. And I think everyone's disgusted by it and they're concerned about it. And I think that it spoke volumes about the concern of where the United States was as a whole. While I was defending it, you saw the photograph I'd sent you. I've got your flag flown outside my house on the flagpole at the vote, which is going great with the people in the village, I must say. I don't think they're very impressed. mean, wasn't it a shock? I went, no. I said, I've been in America however many months over the last year and it was no shock. I mean, I didn't meet anybody that said they were going to, well, I met one group of people that said they were going to vote Democrat, but they're... Yeah. left wing of our Labour Party, so that must put them on bordering on hardcore communists, I would imagine. So yeah, no, I'm, you know. United States going to communism and it was like, I think that if you look at the map of the red and blue states now, and even more so if you go into each state and look at the state map, even New York only had several counties that voted blue. And so, you know that I'm sorry, but like if it doesn't speak volumes to you about where we're at mentally. you know, with the state of mind we're in, I don't know what does. I mean, there was only 12, I would say, I think it was 15 states voted blue overall. That's 35 states that didn't. I mean, 35 states are red and 15 are blue. It's so funny, I had a council meeting on Thursday and one of the Greens who was trying to, you know, get us to butcher our economy completely to save the planet when nobody else is doing anything at all about it or even interested, it would just kill us completely, was saying how terrible it was that Trump had been elected and how awful it was. And I turned around and I said, yeah, democracy is a dreadful thing, isn't it? Nice. the public actually vote for who they wanted as leader. I'm sure if you got in power, you'd change that really quickly. And it was just the irony of it and the arrogance of the people in the UK saying, this is terrible. This is terrible. Well, it isn't. It's democracy. Get it. Yeah. Yeah. And I think that if you are thinking that way so far left, so far blue, and those are the thoughts in your head at this point, if you haven't seen clearly, it's like, do you have a mental problem or are you living in a cave or like, are you just completely checked out? Like, where are you? You you live on some island in the middle of the ocean. You're not getting tuned in. Like, what's happening? So I think they're just completely checked out or or the media is so corrupt that it leads you to believe things that aren't true and they're all corrupt and it's all one-sided and they're bought out. Yeah, but that comes on to my mate, doesn't it? I mean, who turned it around for Trump? Who have I been talking about for about the last 12 months? Elon! Elon! Iron Man! The man of the moment. I mean, you talk about media. This is the guy that's taken what a 20, 30 billion hit or his investors have anyway in Twitter just to get free speech. And now Twitter's suddenly becoming the number one news avenue. Across the world. It's not just in america across the world. What an inspired move by both of them I just I looked at it and I thought what a play by musk really. I mean, you know and he was doing in Pennsylvania? He was wasn't he giving a million pounds a day away as well? Yeah, mean if you can't be don't join them. Yeah how much were the Democrats spending? 10 million a day to pump a load of policies that nobody was interested in? Yeah, if not more. Democrats didn't like Kamala, you know? I mean, I tell you what, what strikes us over here and I don't know whether you can answer the question because when I'm explaining this to everybody I said, well a lot of the Americans they see Trump and they think well he's making decisions but they see Biden and they see Harris and they say who's making the decisions? Where's the money come from? Who's pulling the strings? And in Biden's case that's probably absolutely true but really who are the people behind the Democrats? that are actually saying I'm giving you all this money and you're going to do this because it isn't the people that they got the front of the party. Correct. Yeah. And I think that the answer to that is the Obamas. I think the Obama administration is still in somewhat type of control. I think the Clintons, you know, I think there's some big name Democrats that are still, you know, got their hand in the money pot of supporting, you know, that agenda. who? I mean, we know who's funded Trump, but who's really putting the money behind the Democrats? yeah, I don't know. That's a great question, isn't it? well, I think for the Americans as well, because I think I think probably the raw appeal of Trump with the floors apart because we all know he's got floors. He's very similar to Boris Johnson in the UK, but he hasn't Boris hasn't got the strength that Trump has to just let them keep going at him. But for him to just keep pushing forward, you know, he just. him out. Yeah. Well, what have they done? They've tried to do it legally, they've tried to do it through assassination, they've tried to do it through character assassination. I mean, honestly, nothing's stuck and now he's got four years of immunity and the opportunity to make sure he's innocent of absolutely everything afterwards. And I mean, they must be thinking all the money that's been spent trying to lock him up and get him banged up and everything else as well. And they've just blown it. What a waste of time. You know, somebody asked me, how do you know that Trump's the right guy? And I said, that's a very simple question to answer, because if all of your enemy foreign leaders don't want him to be your president, that's your first sign that he should be. Right. I mean, that's number one. Right. I mean, this isn't rocket science people. Right. And they have tried to take him out. If he wasn't a threat to them, they wouldn't want him gone. And so that's your second cue, right? I I think it's obvious, you know, and he is not scared. I mean, is he a pompous windbag? Sure. You know, do I like listening to everything he says? Not all the time. You know, he's got flaws. We all do. But at the end of the day, that's who gets the job done and that's who's going to do it. Well, you nearly ended up, I mean, if you've got the Democrats, you've ended up, well, I doubt whether it would have been as close to a communist government that we've got here at the moment. But our government is imploding faster than you could ever imagine. They are absolutely, they are hated by everybody within months. I mean, the first thing they did is over here, a lot of our pensioners, our state pension is quite low and a lot of our pensioners aren't particularly well off. So one of the first things they did was remove the, we have this thing called a winter fuel allowance, which is just a 300 pounds, which is what, $400 top up for pensioners at Christmas to allow them to heat their homes. So Labour took it away. Why? They want him to freeze to death? What? Well, I'll tell you what I think. I think most of the pensioners are the ones that vote and they tend to vote conservative. So they took it away because they felt that most pensioners vote conservative. And that's why I think they've done it. But they've doubled down on that. They've taxed private education. So they've put a 20 % tax on private education with VAT and removed the relief from business taxes from the educational things. And in this country, if you privately educate your children, you lose the state aid that you would have got, if you know what I mean. So in the UK, costs about 6,000 pounds a year to educate a child. And the state pays for that. So if you don't draw that benefit and you pay yourself, then the state is saving 6,000 pounds. But because of their politics of envy and their belief that most of the conservative leadership came from private schools, they've decided to tax it. So what that means as a council is we haven't got enough school places as it is. People are coming out of the private sector because they can't afford it anymore and they've hit them. So you think, well, that's pretty... So straight away, when I'm up for election in May, I've got the pensioners to talk to and now I've got the people that have gone to private schools. But worse than that... Worse than that, and this will resonate with you coming from a farming background, they've decided in the UK if you own a farm, because they wanted the family farms to be handed down year after year after year, there was no inheritance tax to pay on death. And now all of a sudden they've brought inheritance tax in to be paid on the death of the person that owns the farm, but it doesn't come in till April 25. So what that basically means is if I had a pharma phobia up this week whose mother's like 84, 85 and basically she's got the choice that if she commits suicide before April 25 they don't have to pay inheritance tax. I see where this is headed. Mm-hmm. mean, so I was talking, I've been talking to some interesting leaders really that would never really support a sort of right of centre agenda in any way, shape or form. And we came to the view that this policy is bordering on evil. So this is what you could have had if you'd have voted Democrat. And then the best bit is you said about world leaders hating it. You want to hear some of the things that our government have said about Trump. You just wouldn't get your breath. I mean, it is unbelievable in terms of the way that they've gone. I mean, this David Lammy, the Foreign Secretary, called Mr. Trump in 2017 a racist and Ku Klux Klan, stroke neo-Nazi sympathizer. That's what he said. And then he's just gone and had dinner with Trump. I mean, how Trump didn't throw him out of a Putin-esque out of the top floor of Trump Tower, I shudder to think. I mean, doesn't that show the character of the bloke that he's letting me through the door to even meet him? And then it just goes on. The deputy prime minister, Angela Rayner, is as thick as two short planks to be perfectly honest, tweeted after the Capitol Hill riots, she said, the violence that Donald Trump has unleashed is terrifying and the Republicans who stood by him have blood on their hands. Now these are the people you're going to be dealing with. So when I'm trying to get a trade deal, this is what we're up against in the UK to build this relationship with the UK. And our health secretary, and these are the top positions in government, Wes Streeting, called Trump an odious, sad little man. Yeah? And the idiot of the hour in this country, because he thinks we're all going to actually be able to power our homes from wind and solar when the sun doesn't shine in this country other than for poor. months of the year and after time the wind stops blowing. It's not like Florida where you get a hurricane coming and you can do it. This idiot is having us to try and cure the earth's woes on the back of our economy and energy costs that are off the scale. And he said, and you will love this, the idea that we've shared values with a racist, misogynistic, self-confessed, groper beggars belief. So that's what our government thinks. of the leader of America. And I'm thinking here, I have got a cunning plan. I have a cunning plan and I need your help, Tina, and the help of the American public to get this in place. Because I frankly don't want to be in this country with this government. And you've got loads of Democrats who have come out, all the stars and all the film stars who've said, I'm leaving if Trump gets in. Is there a swap deal we can do? now we're onto something. your left-wing Democrat stars and we can come over as right-of-center conservatives and help grow the American economy and do the trade deals that we need to do. Can we get some sort of swap deal going, you know, pro rata? Because I tell you now, I'll be on the first plane over. You can trade me with anybody. I'm not really bothered who you want to send. Who would you send over? I mean, who would be the first person? I mean, there's that many of them, isn't there? Yeah. your country? probably Taylor Swift. yeah, she'd do really well here. My daughter's queued up for ages to get the tickets. We've bunged them loads of cash. She could fit in with the... The problem is, though, the problem is, would she be able to cope with actually having to pay tax? I don't know if she didn't, if she couldn't pet her cat at the same time. You know, I don't know. If she can bring her, okay. Well, she can bring her cat. really feel that would be an equal match. Me for Taylor Swift. You might have to lower your lower lower it down a bit really in terms of where you're going. boyfriend, Travis Kels with her. That would be fine. Okay, perfect. Yeah, not many because, you know, he needs to go party and get drunk. So, you know, you couldn't expect a lot of him probably. You know who else I could send you? Oprah Winfrey. You know, we could send her. Yeah, you can have her if you want her. we've got we've got quite a few right wing chat show guys that we could actually send in in return for Oprah. Yeah. So I think I think that's it. So I think between you and me, that's what we've got to do. You've got to swap Democrats with Brits who are like minded and like America. You know, look, well, you've got to I've got the flag flying outside. I've sent you the photograph. You've got the evidence. I'm prepared to put myself at risk in the village by flying the American flag. that's right. Do it. as they walked past. The one came past today and he looked up at the flag, there were some walkers and he turned around and he says, you were Republican then. I said, I am this week. Yep. I said, I am this week. So, no, so it's absolutely brilliant. But what a mess. Well, you know, I saw somebody had posted on Facebook that said, you know, the day after the election, they said, please, everybody in America, do us a favor. Do not fly today. Do not schedule any flights. We're trying to reserve as many seats for the Democrats and psychopathic Californians that want to leave the country. We just don't want them to have to wait on a seat. Okay? So if you don't have to fly today, please don't. We've got a lot of people trying to leave the country. I've got stock in BA. I might lobby BA to let them come over for free if I can go back the other way. Do you know what I mean? Fair exchange. Fair exchange is no robbery, you know. So yeah, we definitely we definitely need to do that. We definitely need to do. I'll take Adam Kent and family and you can have whatever star out of Hollywood, left coast California that you want. all the policies are the same. We've got massive problems with illegal immigration. I want to send them back. Donald can tell us how he's going to do it. I love Elon saying he's going to take two trillion out of the state. Our state is so... Do you know what? They've raised in errands tax. They've loaded us with capital gains tax. But anybody that works for the public sector gets a free pass. So the people that don't do the bloody work most of the time. Well, in fairness, there's some that work very hard, but there's plenty that don't. Again, in rewarded. And I saw Angela Reina supporting a four day week for people that just don't work. So I mean, I just added. I think that people said, well, what do you think was the one thing that got Trump elected this this year? And I said, well, he won last time. You just cheated to make him look like he didn't. Right. I mean, to be to be frank about it. And then two was the immigration. mean, they it wasn't that people were coming to the United States. That's not the problem. If you want to come to the United States and you want to be a citizen, that's OK. We'll take you even if you're a Democrat, but do it legally. And that's the problem is that we had illegal immigration coming to our country. And then when they got here, they would do hit and runs because they don't have driver's license. You know, they don't have legal forms of identification. They would commit rape, murder, hit and runs, you know, all this stuff. And then there's no penalties for them because they don't exist here. You know, and then we can't We can't penalize them and then our country's having to fit the bill to pay all of those things and we've got our dead citizens. And so now what do we do? You see? See the problem? absolutely mirrored here. We've got boatloads of them coming across the English Channel every day, and they're all single men. There's a few families, but very few and far between. We had a big problem with Albanians coming over, and they're all running the drugs trade. I mean, honestly, it's horrendous. And I look at the problems that you're facing, and I look at the problems we're facing, and they're very, very mirrored. And I think America's sort of had its Brexit moment, really, because... You've had that rude awakening now. And I think it's coming back to the UK. The problem we've got at the moment in the UK is the right of centre is split between two parties, which has meant this bunch of muppets that we've got of Labour have got a huge majority, really, in default. There was only 20 % of the British public voted for them who were eligible. So they've won because we split the vote. So if you imagine if all of Trump's votes were halved, That's the effect that we've got in the UK. Nobody's elected the government we've got. I don't want the American public to penalise us and think that we've made a democratic decision to put these idiots in power because we haven't. Only one in five of the eligible voters in the UK voted for them. The problem was the right-wing vote was split between Farage and his bunch and the Conservatives. So really, they've got to bang some heads together and work out what they're going to do and sort it out. Otherwise we could end up with this communist government all the time. But I was going to ask you, because you just mentioned about the democratic votes or whatever else, where did they all go? Because all of a sudden, have you got to give ID at the moment in the states to vote, have you now? well, not in California. Not in California. They put out saying no identification necessary. Right. Exactly. I mean, but you know, doesn't California march to the beat of their own drum out there, you know, and that's why on the left coast, nothing, you know, everything goes on the left coast because there's no rules, you know. everybody, everybody, I mean, I this is the thing, and I suppose this is the thing that Trump and his team have got to think about with the UK. The British population didn't elect these idiots we've got in. So please, please, please don't punish us for the muppets that are in power. It was a blip and a dangerous blip. But there's a huge opportunity now because we're being taxed to extinction of small business owners and the entrepreneurs and the wealth creators. Yeah. eager to leave. So we're quite happy to swap places with those Democrats. So what I would say is if we're running our businesses and we're going to come over there and we're going to create wealth and we're going to be rewarded for doing it, then we want in. You know, we want in. And if he was to do a policy that made it easier for British people to come over and invest in America, then that would help with the growth he wants within the economy and everything else as well. And if at the same time you get shot of a few of your lefty Democrats, then it's the perfect plan, isn't it really? Yeah? Yeah, I think we've got to do it. I mean, I think really, I think this is that sort of moment because we've always been a bit delicate in terms of the politics on the podcast. But I've thought, no, not anymore. Let's put it out there, Tina. Let's make it really clear. yeah, you have to say the truth about stuff, right? Because, you know, we don't want anybody to get the false impression that we're part of that, you know? I mean, look, we met at a rocket launch, so let's put a rocket up the people in Britain and let's make sure that those people in America really do understand we didn't elect these idiots. We're ashamed about what they've said about your president. I think it's horrendous. I do want you to find a way to punish him or punish the government, but don't punish us. You could punish the government by making it very easy for the wealth creators to leave Britain and come and create wealth in America. So are you allowed to buy land in the United States as a British? honestly, to be honest, I've got more chance of getting in to the United States if I fly to Mexico and cross a river. The Rio brand, yeah? You're coming over, huh? Well, you got about 34 days or something. to change pretty quickly, but isn't that ridiculous? I'm here wanting to invest and grow a business and well I am growing a business in America, I'm selling stuff in America, but for me, know, politically I'm homeless in this country at the moment, I'm politically homeless, but there's a lot like me that would really love to come and invest, but it's very difficult, it is hard. for us to do it, you know, so somebody's got to loosen the strings, but I think it'd be quite funny actually for Trump to do that. would really, yeah, if he turns around to start, I'm gonna say, it's part of the trade deal. We're gonna let all of your wealthy business creators and those that are gonna create jobs come to America and do it here. That'd be just brilliant, it? Yeah, I'd love it. he I'm curious to see how he executes this mass deportation. I mean, I've got front row seats. I've got popcorn ready. You know, I can't wait to see, you know, how he executes this mission of his, because we're all going to cheer for it, you know. I saw something, I read something about the policy actually. It was quite interesting because I think you've got the right to claim asylum or whatever it is. And then you've got a right to see the judge. And the minute they say no, then you're going. That's it. You're going. And I mean, we've got the same thing here, except we're just too weak and where are we going to send them? We just haven't got the bottle to get rid of them, you know. Yeah, I mean, there's a couple of Trump's policies where I'm like, all right, you know, like, let's let's reel it in. You know, let's not get greedy here. You know, stingy. But but I think that just overall, you know, he's his vision moving forward for the country is just so on point that everybody just wants to be behind it. They want to be a part of it. And they they believe him. And if nothing else, he owns up to everything he says he's going to do. He always. follows through and that's not something we've seen with Biden or Harris or anyone and these are people that have had decades in the White House to invoke change and they're sleeping on it and you know and Trump comes in for four years look at all he did in four years he was here and he doesn't make idle promises right he has the best follow-through rate that I've ever seen anyone have And someone and the noise in the atmosphere, just the air is so thin now, you know, I mean, you could just feel a cloud lift, you know, and one of our we had gone on a walk the night of the election and one of our neighbors, I said, you're not at home watching the election results come in. And they said, it'll be weeks before we hear anything. And I said, no, it'll be tomorrow morning. And they said, no, not that soon. I said, yeah, America's done with this. And And usually it is, you know, we have to wait. But he flipped every single one of our, you know, battleground states. Every one of them. Everyone. That's never been done. wasn't a win. It was a hammering for the Democrats. They got absolutely hammered. But, you know, it... yeah. And nobody's really been respected as a president in this country really since, well, I mean, everyone loved Bush, but not since Reagan, you know? And so, I mean, this goes back to the 80s when Reagan was in office and people were saying, you know, Trump's kind of like Reagan. He's got the respect of Reagan. And like, yeah, he's got follow through is what he's got, you know? the thing is because he's in charge of his money. Nobody's going to say to Trump, I'll give you the money, but you've got to do this because he'll just tell him where to go. He knows what he wants to do. Whereas with the Democrats, you're thinking it's like you said, is it the Obamas? Is it the Clintons? Is it the Clintons backers? Is it the Obamas backers? Where's the money coming from? I'd love to see a proper analysis of where the Democrat funds came from. China, maybe I think I think if we're being honest, China. think it's really interesting. I had another conversation with somebody who said, well, you know, it's really terrible. I said, you are joking, aren't you? He's going to sort all these conflicts out. Well, how is he going to do that? I said, well, to be honest, Putin is probably going to think this is a guy that will do whatever he says he's going to do. And he's now got an out. He's now got an out, really, because if Trump turns around and says, this is what you're going to do, otherwise, I'm going to do this, then Putin's going to have to think about it. That's right. wouldn't have thought about it with Biden or Harris. There would have been no follow through. It's just not within their psyche to threaten, well, know, do you like Red Square? Do you want to see it go? You know, I could just imagine the conversation. Now, this is what's going to happen. And he's going to say to Zelensky, I've got all the time in the world for that guy because he's fighting for his country and what he's done is unbelievable. But there's got to be an end to it. You can't keep having people on both sides dying all the time. mean, it. I presented a wreath at the remembrance ceremony for the Second World War over the weekend. And one of the things I said was, can you believe in a modern world where we're resolving all of these conflicts by killing each other still? I mean, it's going back thousands. I mean, what a base ridiculous situation that we're in, that we resort to murdering each other just because we can't agree. So I think really Trump has the power to do it. And I said, I said, you can just imagine he's going to put them in their place. He's going to sort it out. So my prediction is Russia ends up with Crimea. Zelensky did the right thing by invading a bloc with Russia. So he's got part of Russia at the moment. They end up trading it quid pro pro. And you end up with peace. And thank the Lord for that, you know, in terms of it. Thank the Lord for that. And then I could just imagine the conversation with Kim Jong-un, his mate that he went to see in North Korea. Is it you really want me to give South Korea all these new brilliant missiles we've designed, or do you think you're going to ask your troops to come home? And he's going to go, well, well, let's see if we can work out a softly way that I can do it. I'm glad to see the peace process is going so all the troops are going to come home. So that's that's play two, I think. And play three is coming back to the one that you said about China. Well, that's easy, isn't it? Hello, China. How much money will your economy lose? when I put 100 % tariffs on every product that is imported into the US. And they're going to go, And I think, well, China, I think you can stop supporting Putin. And I think Taiwan can be left alone now, can't it? yes, Mr. Trump, sir. And there you go. And there's your problem solved. Trump, sir. And that's it. You just said it. Trump, sir. Because it's the respect that he demands to have. And that's not something we've seen from Biden. Biden doesn't know he exists, right? I mean, he's in a coma somewhere. We don't even know. I mean, we didn't even hear from him until, the next day after the election? He was like, at least he acknowledged they lost because where Kamala Harris went, I've got no idea. I thought Elon had put her on one of his Rothkitz as the first American citizen to go to Mars because to be honest, that's probably where she wishes she was. Probably. You know and and there's a piece of me, a fraction that feels bad for her because I do feel like she was used. You know I was like you were just part of the puppet show. I mean they put her out there as a little puppet on a string to do a little dance and say a bunch of stuff that she was unfamiliar with, didn't have the knowledge or ability to do. And then when she was asked questions, she would just giggle like a bimbo because she didn't know the answer. And so, you know, she laughed her way through that entire campaign, didn't she? She just giggled. why on earth did they... I mean, I don't... What is it with the Democrats? I Hillary Clinton, Biden... I mean, you know, did they just... no idea. What? How many people live in America? Is that the best they could do? bought out? It's like, who are we going to put up here to do this? Who's going to be the puppet show? Who's going to have mud on their face? And not a lot of people want to raise their hand for that. I think the comment puppet on the string. mean, I've said it loads of times in this podcast today, but where is the money coming from? Where is the money coming from? of a few different sources and they pull together and they, you know, and they they try to buy out the media because I mean, if you look at it as a whole, who controls America's or just everyone's mindset? It's media. It's because you believe what you see. And most people are visual learners. And so if you're watching TV and people are telling you these things, it's audio, it's visual and they're they're believing things because they're seeing it. And so they're like, what must be true was on TV. It's on the news. Well, and unfortunately, that's a lot of the way human beings think. it was on the news. It must be true. And you're like, whoa, who owns the network? Who put that out there? Who controls the media? And that's the source, know, whoever's controlling the media source. And so that's why Elon, I if you saw this, said, maybe I'll buy CNN. You know, he's like, maybe I'll, yeah, maybe I'll buy this, maybe I'll buy that, and then I'll be in control of it. And so, you know, then you can't spread your fake news. honestly think this campaign for freedom of speech is the most... I'm a member of an organisation in the UK called the Freedom of Speech Union and basically as a politician, I pay them and they've helped me in the past with defending me against specific things and other things really to defend the freedom of speech. And I think that's something that's been lost. And here in the UK at the moment... I mean, we saw somebody get a three year present sentence for something they said on Twitter. mean, do you remember that old, yeah, no, seriously. I mean, the law's over here now. I can't say a lot of things. I mean, you know, you could have offended somebody. Well, grow a pair, you know? I mean, for crying out loud, it's like we're protecting people from themselves. I mean, there was that old nursery rhyme, I think, what is it? Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Well how on earth has that changed? Because the words seem to be causing me too much emotional damage and I can't cope with them anymore. Well, I'm sorry. Get a life. Yeah. You know this morning, know today in America it's Veterans Day and you know we're celebrating our veterans and we had some neighbor friends down for breakfast this morning and we kind said something similar to that. I When did the entire universe become so offended by everything? You know, and why is everybody having quote anxiety, you know, like just you're just having a bad day tomorrow. I'll be different. Get up and live again, you know, and it's like what? When did we just stop loving everybody for who they are and not who we want or need them to be for ourselves? When did that happen? You know, because I remember as a child growing up, my parents loved everyone. We shared food with everyone, we brought things to people, we all came together from both sides of the aisle, different religions. I mean, I love Democrats, I love Republicans, I love white people, black people, Asian people, Mexican people, Hindu, Buddhist, and no matter what religion you are, if you're Baptist, you're Methodist, you're Catholic, you're whatever, you're atheist, I love everybody for who they are. not who I want or need them to be for myself. And so when did that stop? You know, I think that's the question that the world should be asking. I think, I mean, look, it's a massive subject and ironically, you'd have laughed because, you know, I went to church yesterday. So that should be my visa set in stone now, shouldn't it really? I'm like, well, he gets an American visa because he went to church. Yeah. Yeah. because it was a remembrance ceremony and as a counselor, counter counselor, as I said, it was our remembrance parade for the for the wars and everything else, first and second World War. And so presented a wreath for the for at eleven o'clock yesterday, the war memorial, but went to church in the morning. And I spent a few few hours afterwards talking to a couple of the church leaders. And it was quite funny. One of the guys approached me, said, Is this your first day at church this year then Adam? I said, I think I've been to a few others. He said, what was that for? I said, funerals mainly. But I said to him, he said, and it's quite interesting because I'm trying to promote this. It's what you were talking about. Just it's about, I think there's a societal breakdown of a particular segment of the population and in the UK and I don't know how different it is in the US, but you've got predominant religions or ethnic groups that have got a very big family culture. Yeah, and there is a big family thing. So when they have problems within the family, the family all pull together. If somebody's parents were really ill and a child needed somewhere, the aunt or the uncle would take the child and whatever. But in the UK now, particularly since COVID, it seems everybody seems to believe it's the state's responsibility to look after them. and do everything that they need. And predominantly in the UK, you know, sometimes certain segments of the population do believe that it's the state's responsibility now, not the family and the community. And the area that I represent in Withall has a brilliant, brilliant community. Vicki is chair of the Memory Cafe, which looks after elderly people with dementia and memory loss and everything else. And it's hugely attended. But there's loads of other groups within Withall where there's a really strong community and that's something I'm trying to do is to develop that community spirit. But it's certainly been lost across the UK. Everybody thinks it's the government's fault. know, the government should sort it out. It's the government that should do it. Well, no, it's not. It's you and your family and your friends. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. mean, just like this Thanksgiving, you know, we're not just having ourselves and our kids. mean, a family from church that didn't have a place to go for Thanksgiving, they're going to come here and I don't even really know them. They're coming to our house for Thanksgiving. Maybe some of our neighbors are come down. People we've just met a couple of years ago that moved here from California. We took them in. I mean, we're kind of having a commune. We kind of took them in. at the local church but you're actually having people from California in. That's big for you, is. You sure? Have you got evidence of that? don't have evidence. gosh. But they were confused by our voting system here in the state. So we had to work that out. So anyway, they're like, why do y'all do that? And I'm like, because we're not psychos, you know, that's the reason. So, you know, we just, we have everybody here, you know, and we just tell everybody, hey, we don't care what color your skin is. We don't care what your religion is or. whatever, we don't even care the way you vote, but just love everybody that's in this house, be kind to everybody, and we'll agree to disagree and have dinner together and we'll go our separate ways. But just be nice to people. It's just not hard. Kindness is free and you can do it. Well, as I was saying, so this church leader, turned around to me and said, is this your only day in church? I went, no, no, I've been there a few times, whatever else. And then, but I was talking about what was doing with the community. He said, well, that's completely as it is in the Bible. I said, which Bible? And he said, well, this our Bible. I said, is that that Bible or this Bible or that Bible? And he went, no, this Bible. I said, listen, you've got to look at it from my point of view. I represent an area where there's probably. 13, 14, 15 different churches just in my small area that I represent as a councillor. If I go and join one of those churches, none of the others are going to like me. I said, whereas if I play the Ricky Gervais playbook on this, really, it is, it is, if I'm not a member of all of those churches, you're all going to like me. You're just doing, you're taking one for the team. You know, I mean, really. You're... and how do I choose which church to join in Whipple? How would I choose? What are they gonna do? They're gonna all pitch to me? Are they gonna say, well, this is how we differ from them? I mean, really, no, you shouldn't have the competition. So what I'm doing, I'm playing the community thing. I'm here for the whole community and all of the churches. And if I was a member of one, then I would be biased. Absolutely. So I think I've got the perfect world. I... I am absolutely doing it from the Ricky Gervais playbook when somebody can convince me of the 357,000 religions which one is actually dead right and fine but at the moment I'm with Elon Musk and Mars. Yeah that's it for me. Yeah I want to occupy Mars. I've got two of the t-shirts I should have worn it today. Yeah I've got two of the t-shirts. Occupy Mars. I'm up for that. I'd definitely get on the flight. No doubt about it. Yeah as long as he's not taking any Democrats or Labour Party members. you gotta draw a line somewhere, you know? no Labour Party members. Yeah, and I'd go. have gotten on that ship that went under that submarine? Would you have done that? Okay. So you'll go up, but not go down. Got it. Yeah. more than I trust those people. Why do I want to go and look at it? I can't believe you mentioned that because I watched that two days ago and we haven't talked about it. I sat there, why would I want to risk my life to go down two and a half miles to the bottom of the ocean to look at a ship that's sunken rotting? Yeah, the noises alone would just terrify me. Yeah. yeah. No. how people live on the edge that they could do it? There's no way you'd have got me in it. But I wouldn't hesitate to get in a rocket to go to Mars. Now, what is that? Yeah, but Mars is like, wow! You know, we were having this conversation. We were driving home from Nashville last night is what is there? How you know, I said, how how do you choose the guy? You know, when you say that there's 12 people that go to Mars, how do you choose which one does what? Because at first, things first, somebody's in charge of oxygen, right? So it's like, OK, you're the guy that's in charge of the oxygen. You're the guy that we're you know, we've elected to be the doctor, you know, because this planet's unsafe, clearly. You're the person that's in charge of the psycho when they lose their mind because they realize they're in Mars and you've got to strap them down to a rock and talk them down. Who do you choose? Who's going to do what when you send the first 12 people to Mars? Right? tell you, Elon's got it. I saw a presentation that he's given to NASA where he's worked out how to get gigabit ethernet connections or broadband on Mars. I mean, the guy's already worked it out. Yeah, yeah, he has. mean, you know, he's already worked it out. So I don't think oxygen isn't going to be a problem. Water won't be a problem. I mean, we've all watched the Martian with What's His Name? So we all know how to grow potatoes, you know, so. So I don't need to take. though. I'm not happy about that. I'll go as long as he can assure me there's no Democrats, there's nobody from the Labour Party and I don't have to live on potatoes alone. So I don't need to go to my local Academy store and buy bottles of oxygen and load them into a backpack and put them in my survival doomsday. Okay work out a way. There's a way to create oxygen, isn't it? Don't you just, you just grow a load of potatoes and it'll create oxygen, won't it? Because the plants eat the carbon dioxide and create the oxygen. I mean, look, self-fulfilling, isn't it? There's no way it wouldn't work it out. But, you know, this is a plea really. I mean, there's a few things here, but come on, Americans, don't penalize us for the idiots we've got running our country. Nobody wanted them. We don't want them now. and if you can work out a way to get rid of them please crack on but in the meantime Elon you've got to give me one of these tickets to Mars you know I want to go I want to be the first British guy that's fled the UK because of the Labour government and goes to Mars because it's the only way to get away from them I mean if that's the price I have to pay then I'll train as an astronaut but you know You know, you gotta start watching the movie Armageddon right now, over and over and over. all the time but I'm not going up to some flipping, you know, asteroid. I'm not having any of that. You know, Mars is fine. that's riding, you know, the nuclear warhead, you know? And he's freaking out. and Blair actually, which is probably why we've got such a big problem with immigration in this country, because if they hadn't gone and interfered in other countries, which is a bit out the Trump playbook, isn't it? I look at us. I mean, look at what our governments have gone. They've destroyed Iraq, they've destroyed Syria, they've destroyed Libya. You know, I mean, honestly, you know, what are we doing really? But that's it. That's rant over, you know, but. I have a, I have an, I don't know, maybe a, an idea or foresight, foresight that maybe your country is going to see what our country does under, you know, for the next four years under the Trump administration and see the change and maybe they'll follow suit. there's no... I mean, you could do it now. The problem we've got at the moment is Farage is a Marmite character. It's a bit like if you ask your kids to do a Christmas list of what they want for Christmas. There'll be 37 things on this Christmas list and you'll go, yeah, we want all of these things. Yeah, a Ferrari, exactly. I would put a Ferrari down. Now, effectively, that's the manifesto that they've produced. And we all look at it go, yeah, it's great. It's really attractive. But how on earth are you going to deliver it? you haven't got it. And the problem that we've got in this country is we could easily do exactly the same because we did it with Boris Johnson and then all the backbiting Tory MPs stabbed him in the back because they all wanted to be prime minister and destroyed our own government on the back of Covid and everything else. So we've been there. We did it before you, but we cocked it up. So my message is don't screw it up, America, the way we screwed it up in this country. Yep. be quite clear that he's got the power. That anybody in that Republican party toes the line. Do you know what I mean? Because the overall vision, because they'll be thinking, he's going to slip up and I'm going to step in and then I'll be president and whatever else. No, don't do it, America. Back the guy. You've got a democratic situation. He can't stand again. Suck the four years up and make it happen and work together to make it happen. Exactly. it in this country. We had our moment. We blew it. But I tell you now, it's coming back and it's going to be coming back quickly. The farmers and others in this country are absolutely appalled by what this Labour government is doing. Yeah, in Pennsylvania, guess who were the people that showed up to vote more this year in that state? The Amish. I love the Amish. I mean, Vicky had a lovely story. I tell you. they had pictures on the news traffic jam and it was horses and buggies and they showed up and showed out in Pennsylvania. Yeah, who doesn't? They're wonderful. at a... we actually stopped at... I can't think where we were. I'm going to sneeze on it. no, I lost the sneeze. Isn't that the worst thing ever? Anyway, I was in... I stopped at Trump's hotel in, think, Miami because we were going to Miami on work and unfortunately it was during the art fest or whatever. So we couldn't get a hotel on the beach, on South Beach. So the first night, because the first night we were there was the last night at the art festival in Miami. So the hotels were all solidly booked out. So the only hotel that was available was Trump's Hotel in Miami on the golf course. So we stopped there for the night, but I'd got a flight to Chicago in the morning or something. So I left Vicky at the hotel and the Amish were staying there. There was loads of them. I I mean, it was weird. mean, you know, they were just going in the swimming pool with all their clothes on. I couldn't quite work it out. mean, I, were not doing that. the hotel rooms where they tried to dry all these clothes in the hotel room. But if they're stopping at Trump's hotel, does that mean they get to use the television? Because they're not allowed to use the television today. Or do they take them all out of the rooms? But they actually voted. I mean, that is surreal, isn't it? And there's hundreds of thousands of them, isn't there? Didn't I see like 400,000 or something or whatever? yeah, they had to. And I mean, I think that just tells you, you know, that just goes to show like just the desperation that we were in for change, you know, is the type of people, you know, different areas, you know, different lifestyles, you know, that showed up, you know, to vote. and they and they came out in force didn't they really but anyway, so yeah I think it was just a sign for the future too. Like, hey, you know, like you we we let y'all have it for a minute and you gave it a go. I'm sorry, you stole it for a minute and you gave it a go. But now, you know, we're going to put our our our big fat red foot down and you're not going to do this anymore. You know, it's a big sign. Well, you've just got to make sure you don't let anybody stab him in the back. He wanders around in a bulletproof enclosure. literally, yeah, that is and that's what my husband said is. Yeah, yep. I said to you earlier, we popped over to Rome for the weekend as we can do in this country, really. And it was such a pleasure. We landed at Rome Airport. And it's quite funny because since Brexit, everybody's been moaning that it's very difficult to get through customs now because we haven't got European passport access anymore. So anyway, I get into Rome and I love the Italians. I mean, they're second on my list after Americans, you know. Interesting. and there's actually a line in in in in Rome Airport when you land there it's for British passports and American ones and the Europeans get to queue So it's straight through this line there's like five people in the line there's this huge queue with the EU passport because they've got loads of people coming to try and sell tat on the streets from other European countries in in rome you know what mean all the all the mickey mouse european countries and we sailed it and then we spent a load of time at the coliseum at the forum and i absolutely adore the history but you wander around you look how advanced the romans were like you know in terms of drainage and sanitation and water supplies they'd even got water pipes then and then and then they lost all of that to like like you know the whole Roman Empire collapsed but but it was quite funny when you're looking at the history most of the senators or the or the emperors or whatever were assassinated by other people that wanted to be emperors or senators and it's the same playbook you've got to look after your man really but you know shows, you know, tells us things, you know, and if you look at the history, you know, people are greedy and they are jealous. And, you know, when somebody wants something, my dad always told us growing up, there is nothing more dangerous than a desperate person. And whether that desperation is fed by money or food to feed your family or leadership, know, or control. Desperate people are dangerous people. And so when they are desperate for Trump not to be in power, they will stop at nothing to relieve him of that. And so I said to my husband, they better make sure that whomever is going to be his security detail and in charge of all of that secret service. they better be the best of the best of the best sir because they are going to have their job cut out for them because they have already and it's just going to be it's going to be a very taxing detail in my opinion. show you what a brave person he is though? I mean, really in terms of knowing the danger. And I mean, it's just horrendous really to think that you want to put your life, mean, literally I suppose over the weekend, I've been looking at the Remembrance Service and I suppose really we've got all those soldiers go and fight for their country and for the right, for doing the right thing. And the American people have given him the democratic right to go and fight for them really. And to think of the danger that he's actually under is quite frightening really in terms of when you're trying to do the right thing. So, yeah. sure that whoever would succeed you is just as good or better than you are. know, and that's, mean, same thing. Well, I think that you know who I think it should be. President Will, President Eula. he be president, though, I suppose? Isn't he immigrant or whatever? I mean, I can't. I don't know. I mean, but we'll wait for him. We'll wait for him. We'll wait for him. I'm happy to come and serve. I'll sit on the Senate. I've got no problem at all. Just work the paperwork. I suppose Trump could just pass a law and that would the end of it, you know. Yeah. Who? Ron DeSentius and he's the governor of and I, you know, I don't know. He's good in the blood. Yeah. When the waters rise here, he shows up. Yeah, that's right. really, because we had a load of flooding in my patch again. So I just what's new? Yeah. Yeah, what are you doing about that? no, no, no. mean, no, was where the area where I represent there was a flash storm. yeah, again, we had it was all right though. It wasn't as bad as it could have been, but it was pretty close. So no, it was a bit of a worry at the time, but yeah, so no, we'll just have to see. So I was going to ask you actually, because I was on a meeting earlier today and somebody said they'd put their Christmas tree up and I was just like, I mean, it's November. It's November. What the hell is going on? But what did you say to me? You've got what? said I have three Christmas trees, large, large ones, and one of them stays up year round in our, no, it's right there. I think you can see it. Yeah, yeah, it stays up year round. You know, it's Christmas, you know, and, It's so it's in our mother-in-law suite and it's so our mother-in-law suite is a giant room above our garage and it's yeah, it's a giant room. No, Lord help me. No, no, I can't be dealing with that. She stays in it on occasion, but she couldn't live here, honey. So it's a it's a big room. I know it's okay. She knows that she couldn't live here. It's okay, but it has a kitchenette. Yes, she does. But I mean, she couldn't live in this room. Yes. No, there's when we have fake presents under it for decoration. But it's a Christmas tree and it stays in the room and all the Christmas decorations stay in this room. And this is our Christmas room of joy. And, you know, we just come up and watch movies in here. And, you know, if you're feeling sad, you just come up and watch a Christmas movie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. feeling really bad you go and sit under the stairs like Harry Potter stuffing your face with candy. Chips. Yeah, chips. hmm. Yeah. Here, baby. Just have some chips and it'll be fine in an hour. Whatever you've got going on, you know, just it'll be fine in an hour, you know, to have a bag of chips. And if that doesn't cure you go up to the mother-in-law suite and we've got popcorn and you know, the 26, I think the 26th. Is that right? November. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's the day. believe that's the day or is it the 28th? It's the 28th, 28th. It's the 28th this year. That's a date that changes. The election. You know? Yeah, just everybody's health and happiness and election results and Just a good, you know, years moving forward and just thankful for, you know, the kids and for you Adam Kent and all of your people in the Kent household and really just the country and I got a job. I'm thankful for my job. I know it's a miracle. I don't know. Weird things are happening. A J-O-B, that's right. Yeah, I got a job. Full time, full time. They gave me a government job. I can't believe it. You're in the system. You're part of the system. Elon's going to terminate you. too good he'll be like give me her she's honest well you say? Is it secret? Are you a spy? It's not no no no you know don't really know my official like title pretty much. I'm this Yeah, it is. It's pretty much. We'll summarize this It's I'm being the chief to or the secretary to the chief of the Department of Public Works so so public, powerful position. It sounds better than it probably is. I think I'm just a glorified secretary for the chief of this place. Yeah, I think so. did you have to have to get the job? let's see. Well, I only interviewed once for this job and I knew when they interviewed me, I knew when they when I left the room, they were I knew when I entered the room, they were going to hire me and when I left the room, I thought well, they'll probably call me tomorrow and give me this job because I knew I had the job when I left the room. Yeah. No, because you know, I have to do security clearance background, you know, they're not just, you know, yeah, I mean passports, you know all that. Yeah, I'm fine. Yeah. never even had a speeding ticket. I'm like, you know, so the joke in the house, I guess not, I'm boring. You know, the joke in the house is that I'm so squeaky clean that they're going to flag my security clearance because, because they're gonna be like, this is too clean, this is suspicious, this is sus. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got a job. I know and. going to be appalled. I mean, I can't, I can't talk about your job hunting anymore. You've got it. So when do you start? So when do you think you start? I don't have a start date. I suspect in two weeks or so, you know, because we've had the holiday weekends and all that and you know, it's been a big couple of weeks in America. So yeah, I think, I think that, you know, like I said, I've got to finish my background and security clearance and all that. And so that takes a little bit. And so I think in a couple of weeks and... I'm intimidated by the position to be honest. Well, I know. you could run the country, Tina. I don't think the Public Works Department's going to be a problem. I think the only person that's going to be a bit concerned is the chief, that you'll take his job. Maybe. I'll tell you how the interview went and then you can tell me what you think of it. So I had the interview. I showed up 30 minutes early just because on an installation, you know, the building numbers can be a little weird. And so was like, you know, wonder if I'll find my way. And so I showed up 30 minutes early. They called me back. I had my bag with me and I had my computer, highlighters, pens, pencils, three different notebooks, you know, because I had notes written down. And I had the job description printed out, my resume printed out, had everything highlighted. So I showed up. I was like, I'm sorry I'm early. And they're like, no, that's great. We were all just kind sitting around the table. Just come on back. And I said, OK. So I go back and they said, OK, you're going to it was a very long conference table situation. So yes. And there were four of them and one of me. So obviously I'm getting defined. Yeah. even worse that is, it? That's terrible. it was a very long rectangular table. And I'm at one end and they're at the other. And I thought, my gosh, this is seen out of New York City law, you know, situation. And so I'm at one end, they're at the other and they said, just make yourself comfortable. And you know, we'll start in a minute. And I was like, okay. And so I'm sitting, so I pop open my laptop. I'm at, you know, got all my highlighters out and my, all my papers and I'm all prepared, getting prepared. And they're sitting and I look up and they're all staring at me. They think you've got OCD. Yeah, I was like, I was like, I'm sorry. I'm just like, I wanted to be organized here. And they're like, no, no, it's just that we've never seen anyone do that. And I was like, well, that's scary. And and so then they said, OK, we have a series of nine questions. And I said, OK. And so they asked me the first eight questions and I just, you know, popped them off. knew all the answers. Gave them very clear and concise answers for those. And then she said, OK, last question, question nine is. do you have any questions for us? And I said, actually I do. I was like, I have nine. And they were like, And they were like, I've never, that's has never happened before. You have nine questions? And I was like, yeah, is that too many? I'm so sorry. And they were like, no, it's fine. Okay. And so I was like, okay, question one. And I was like, do you provide training for this particular position? And if so, where is the training held and in what capacity is held in? And I was just like, da da da. And they all kind of looked at each other and they're like, do we have this? Yes. And they were like, do we have that? And they all just like discussed it among themselves. Right. And they're like, I don't know. And she looks up at me, she goes, I don't know the answer to that question and I'm sorry for that. And she's like, I would tell you that I would. get back to you, but I don't think I can. So do you have another question? And I was like, yeah. And so we went on and they were like, holy crap. and I was like, do you have monthly meetings in regards to article dash seven dash nine dash 14 dash seven? And they were like, do we? I don't know. Should we? Is that a thing we should have? And I was like, I think they're all going to be sat there thinking you're after their job. I think it's brilliant Tina. Absolutely brilliant. So you got a job? by Excel because a lot of it is Excel. I don't like it. Google it. I know what you're gonna say, ChadGBT. I knew you were gonna say that. Yeah. Yeah. it will actually create the Excel spreadsheet for you. So you say, I'm gonna, you go into it, you just say, create a spreadsheet for the public works board that covers off XYZ in the context of ABC and it'll produce the spreadsheet and you'll say, no Microsoft, that's not quite right. I need you to include this and then they'll create the spreadsheet for you. So there you go. I go. What I would do before you start that job is learn all the artificial intelligence modules. Note Builder's a great one with Google. There's some stunning things you can do and you will probably take over the Public Works Board. I think you will. And you will prove once you've got the artificial intelligence sorted, you'll probably be able to do all the jobs yourself. Maybe so, I think that the fact that I know I'm gonna show up on time and give 100 % and not leave any stones unturned is probably gonna land me in a good position, I think. I think they probably had not met someone like me before. I doubt that. I doubt that. But no. used to the millennial generation we have today. I don't know. yeah. Sorry. Cuss word. Yeah. Yeah, we have. out there enjoys listening to this because I've had a huge amount of fun with it. Honestly, it's there's a lot of serious stuff in there, but it is it's it's the world is changing. There is now hope. So on that note, Tina, good night. God bless. And it's been great to talk to you. Good to talk to you too.
