Hello, I'm Hugo Rifkin, and now we're going to be unpacking the politics of the day,

from deciphering what Donald Trump means, from what he says,

to Nigel Farage's cryptocurrency venture with quasi-quartang,

and where the TV has run out of good ideas.

And with me today, two people who never run out of good ideas, it says here, they are Charlotte Ivers. Hello, Charlotte. Hello, Hugo. Good to have you here. And James Merritt. Hello, James. Good morning. Good morning. You sure it's a good morning? You seem unconvinced. Yeah, I'm just boning up on the global oil crisis. Right. So I'll be full of bright ideas for you. Well, I'll give you a second or two. No time like the present to get on top of the news, I would say.

Exactly.

If you could affirm those opinions up in the next, ooh, 25 seconds, that'd be fantastic. Ask Charlotte first in this instance. Charlotte, how much TV have you watched this week so far? Actually, non so far. Really? Yeah, I was writing about TV yesterday. Oh yeah, big time, Big time. Ask me anything about global oil crisis, though, and I'm all over it.

No, they, well, what happens is, I don't know how you did it when you were doing this job, but you file on Monday, and then you spend all of Tuesday waiting for them to tell you what's on TV this week.

So if anyone's listening from the TV TV TV, and it's sort of a bit awkward when you've got a bunch of new colleagues to start making demands. So maybe I'll do it now because this radio show plays in the lifts at work.

So if anyone's listening from the TV team, I don't know when you get the TV shows in, but I'd like it a bit earlier. My scheduling was different. I think I got a peek ahead to what the next week's TV was on Friday, and I filed on Wednesday. So this is either great inside the newsroom, you know, how their sausages made stuff, or people are just going, why.

Let's hear James Murrayriott about global oil prices. James, global oil prices, your thoughts. It's a very chaotic situation, Hugo. Let's start, and we're going to get to that, but let's start with Donald Trump. This is how he responded overnight to questions about how the war is going and when it could end. We're going to have a much safer world as soon as it's finished and it's going to be

finished pretty quickly. But everybody said the same thing. Make sure you win. We will.

We've already won in many ways, but we haven't won enough.

No, I don't want to brag. But, you know, they've said this about a lot of things. No other

president could do some of this shit I'm doing.

Trump can be funny.

His speeches can sometimes be entertaining.

I think people sort of like, you know, downplay that a little bit because when they hate
