[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] IT'S THAT TIME!
IT'S TIME FOR THE NEWS!
AND OF COURSE, PRESIDENT BIDEN IS ON HIS WEEKLONG TRIP TO
IRELAND.
IT DOES WHEN HE MET WITH U.K.
PRIME MINISTER RISHI SUNAK IN BELFAST.
THEY DISCUSSED ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES, TRADE
PARTNERSHIPS, AND HOW CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU
WALKS AROUND LIKE HE'S A TEN BUT HE'S REALLY A SEVEN, AT BEST.
WE'VE GOT A PHOTO OF THEM HERE FROM THE MEETING.
AND WHERE DID THEY HOLD THE MEETING?
MAYBE THE BREAKFAST CUFF A OF A COURTYARD MARRIOTT?
LIKE CAN YOU BELIEVE THE CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST AT THIS
PLACE.
TWO TYPES OF ORANGE JUICE.
PULP AND NO PULP, IT IS UNBELIEVABLE.
OF LOOK AT THE CARPET OF THAT PLACE.
I LOVE A CARPET WHERE YOU CAN DROP SPAGHETTI MEATBALLS ON THE
FLOOR.
DON'T WORRY, BLENDS RIGHT IN.
OTHER POLITICAL NEWS, DONALD TRUMP GAVE HIS FIRST
INTERVIEW SINCE HIS ARRAIGNMENT SITTING DOWN WITH FOX NEWS'
TUCKER CARLSON.
AT ONE POINT TRUMP SAID THE POLICE OFFICERS AND COURT
OFFICIALS WERE VERY EMOTIONAL SEEING HIM IN COURT.
>> I'LL TELL YU, PEOPLE WERE CRYING, IT'S A TOUGH TOUGH
PLACE.
THEY WERE CRYING.
THAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY CRYING.
AT LEAST SAID, I'M SORRY.
>> James: YEAH, THEY WERE CRYING.
THEY WERE CRYING BECAUSE THEY WERE TERRIFIED THE BUILDING WAS
GOING TO BE ATTACKED AT ANY MINUTE BY HIS SUPPORTERS.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] PEOPLE WERE CRYING.
LIKE IF YOU'RE GOING TO LIE, JUST DON'T STOP THERE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
OF THE WHOLE WAY, GO ALL IN.
REALLY GO FOR IT AND BE LIKE AN EAGLE JUST CAME AND LANDED ON MY
SHOULDER.
AND THEN THE EAGLE, THE EAGLE WAS CRYING.
THE EAGLE WAS CRYING.
YOU KNOW, THE EAGLES ARE STRONG, BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS,
NEVER CRY, NEVER SEEN AN EAGLE CRY AND THEN SAID TO ME, HE SAID
MR. TRUMP, YOU'RE VERY TALL AND WHISPERED IN MY EAR, YOU HAVE A
BEAUTIFUL SINGING VOICE.
I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYBODY PEOPLE SAY, THOSE ARE JUST REGULAR
SIZED HANDS.
BEAUTIFUL.
TRUMP ALSO -- TRUMP HAD THIS T SAY ABOUT MEETING CHINESE
PRESIDENT XI JINPING.
>> I'M NOT ALLOWED TO SAY IT BECAUSE IT'S VERY IMPOLITE AND
VERY POLITICALLY INCORRECT.
A BEAUTIFUL FEMALE INTERPRETER.
[LAUGHTER] >> James: I'D ALMOST
FORGOTTEN -- I'D ALMOST FORGOTTEN WHAT IT'S LIKE WHEN
TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT, YOU KNOW?
THE GUY COULD START WORLD WAR III BECAUSE HE GETS TO
HORNY ON TELEVISION.
>> WHEN I SAW THAT VIDEO AND HE WAS LIKE HE HAS A VERY
BEAUTIFUL -- I DON'T THINK I'M ALLOWED TO SAY IT BECAUSE NOT
POLITICALLY CORRECT.
I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO COMPLEMENT HIS ASS, LIKE WHY
DOES HE SAY THIS STUFF?
>> James: HE'S LITERALLY FACING CHARGES INVOLVING AN
AFFAIR WITH A PORNSTAR AND NOW HE'S TALKING HOW HOT THE WOMEN
ARE OF XI JINPING'S OFFICE.
TRUMP ALSO HAD SOME VERY NICE THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THE CHINESE
LEADER HIMSELF.
>> PRESIDENT XI IS A BRILLIANT MAN.
IF YOU WENT ALL OVER HOLLYWOOD TO LOOK FOR SOMEBODY TO PLAY THE
ROLE OF PRESIDENT XI, YOU COULDN'T FIND HIM, THERE IS
NOBODY THAT.
THE LOOK, THE BRAIN, THE WHOLE THING.
>> James: THE MEASURE OF ANY GREAT LEADER.
WHETHER OR NOT A HOLLYWOOD ACTOR CAN PORTRAY THEM IN A FILM.
[LAUGHTER] COULDN'T FIND SOMEONE TO PLAY
PRESIDENT XI.
I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SAY THIS EVER.
I THINK DONALD TRUMP IS CALLING FOR MORE DIVERSITY IN HOLLYWOOD.
IT IS THAT WHAT HE'S DOING?
IS THAT WHAT HE'S DOING?
I'M NOTICING A MISSING -- >> I AM TOO.
>> James: LOOK AT THAT, SCOTTY, CAN YOU SHOW THAT POLITE
SPACE.
WHERE IS HE?

FILL ONE IN.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO THAT HE POSTED.
>> YOU'RE WELCOME.
THIS IS CRAZY, WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS HOLD TO BE
CLOSED.
>> James: HOW DID HE EVEN NOTICED THE POTHOLE?
DOESN'T ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER DRIVE A TANK?
HERE'S THE THING ABOUT THE STORY, THIS IS TRUE.
IT TURNS OUT IT WAS NOT A POTHOLE, IT WAS A SERVICE TRENCH
RELATED TO ACTIVE WORK BY A UTILITY COMPANY IN THE CITY SAID
HE MADE A MISTAKE.
IF ONLY ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER HAD SOME SORT OF EXPERIENCE
WORKING WITH THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT.
IT WOULD HAVE MADE HIM REALIZE HIM SOONER.
BUT THAT'S A BIG MISTAKE AND ARNOLD SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT,
BUT IT TURNS OUT THE WHOLE THING WAS JUST TO PREPARE FOR HIS
UPCOMING MOVIE ROLE "CONAN THE CIVIL ENGINEER."
AND THAT IS THE NEWS!

IT WAS A WONDERFUL MOMENT AND FRIEND TO FRIEND AND THEN YOU'RE
GOOD LUCK BECAUSE THEN I GOT CAST.
I DO THINK IT'S PARTLY DUE TO THE, OF THE TEXT.

YOU MUST FIND YOURSELF GETTING GREAT FEEDBACK FROM FRIENDS AND
FANS ALL THE TIME RIGHT?

YEAH COME ON TOP OF THE PANDEMIC WE FILMED TWO EPISODES OF SEASON
FOUR AND THEN THE PANDEMIC SHUT DOWN THE WORLD AND THEN WE WERE
TOLD WE WOULD NEVER BE COMING BACK.
IT'S SO BRUTAL.

FAR BECAUSE USUALLY A PRESS TO HER AS AN ACTRESS IS PLAYING
