Former President Donald Trump it would be worth facing potential jail time in order to ‘Make America Great Again’ by winning the 2024 election – and also insisted that President Biden can no longer talk.

The former president, 77, sat down with Kelly for a SiriusXM interview aired on Thursday that saw him sharing insight into many of the issues he faces ahead of the 2024 election. 

Kelly said the former president’s indictments in four separate cases were ‘very scary’ for him due to ‘left-wing judges’ and ‘left-wing juries’ and asked him if he could see himself going to prison.

‘I have a great attitude, it doesn’t affect me at all because I’m fighting for the country, I’m fighting for the people,’ before talking about how good his poll numbers were and that ‘the people know it’s all fake.’

He ultimately said, however, it was worth facing both the indictments and jail time in order to ‘Make America Great Again,’ arguing that ‘our country’s going to hell.’ 

‘Our country’s going to hell. Our country’s going to down. The country, I believe, has one last chance, this is the most important election we’ve ever had.’ 

The former president also was melancholy about the notion he might never visit his many famous properties across the globe, citing his golf club in Scotland.

‘Would I like to be at Turnberry in Scotland right now or the many places I have… I may never see those places again. But I think this is very important. I think we’re gonna win the election.’ 

Trump was last indicted in Georgia for his alleged roles in trying to overturn the 2020 election, with prosecutors using statutes normally seen in mob trials and accusing the former president of being head of ‘a criminal organization’. 

He is facing three other criminal cases: one, on federal charges relating to election interference; another federal case related to the mishandling of classified documents, and one in New York federal court for alleged hush money payments to Stormy Daniel. 

Trump then pivoted to President Biden, whom he said ‘can’t talk’ when asked by Kelly if he thinks Biden will go the distance to 2024.

‘I can’t imagine,’ Trump said. ‘I saw him yesterday, he can’t put two sentences together. It’s not an age thing, it’s a competence thing. He can’t talk!’

Trump also cited a Washington Post op-ed written Wednesday where David Ignatius wrote with a headline: ‘President Biden should not run again in 2024.’

‘He has to debate, I guess. I hope he’s gonna debate, I guess. The people want a smart president.’

Trump also noted he ‘doesn’t see’ himself debating any of his Republican Primary opponents, suggesting he didn’t want to debate someone he was ‘like 60 points ahead’ of.

Kelly even begged him to do one just before the Iowa caucuses, with Trump saying no.

Elsewhere in the interview, Trump said while he thinks Joe Biden is ‘grossly incompetent,’ he does not feel he is too old to be president.

With just three years separating the two 2024 frontrunners, many are concerned over the increasing age of presidential candidates – as well as other leaders in Congress.

Polling shows that more than three-fourths of Americans feel that Biden, 80, is too old to serve another four years in office.

But Trump, 77, told Megyn Kelly that age isn’t the issue.

‘I have many friends that are in their 80s. I have friends… that are in their 90s and they’re sharp as a tack. Just, I mean I would say, just about what they used to be. No, not old. He’s incompetent,’ Trump said of Biden.

If Biden was reelected he would break his own record for being the oldest-ever inaugurated U.S. president at 82 years old.

Trump is the second-oldest president following Biden. He was inaugurated at the age of 70. He beat former President Ronald Reagan by just about a year.

‘Age is interesting, because some people are very sharp and some people do lose it, but you lose it at 40 and 50 also,’ Trump told Kelly. ‘But no, he’s not too old at all. He’s grossly incompetent.

‘You look at some of the great world leaders, they were in their 80s and they did— I mean, Churchill, so many people. They were phenomenal in their 80s. You know, there’s a great wisdom if you’re not in a position like him, but if you go back 25 years, he wasn’t the sharpest tack either.

He also shared insight into both Melania and his youngest son Barron, 17.

‘I think part of the beauty is that mystery,’ Trump said when asked what people misunderstand about his wife of more than 20 years, before comparing her with Hollywood legend Greta Garbo.

‘She was a great actress, But she was very reclusive, never did an interview. I don’t see Melania as like that, but she’s introspective, and she’s confident… She doesn’t need to be out there [to get interviewed],’ he explained.

‘She has confidence. She has a lot of self confidence.’

Trump also gave an update on Barron, saying the teen is doing ‘really well’ and is a ‘very good athlete.’ 

‘Barron’s very tall – about six eight. And, and he’s a good kid. He’s a good looking kid. He’s a great student, very good student…we’re thinking about [college] right now,’ he added. 

It was a productive conversation for Trump and Kelly, who have a notoriously rocky history.

Trump claimed she had ‘blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever’ during the the August 2015 primary debate she moderated. 

But it seems the feud is now water under the bridge as Kelly released Thursday morning clips of her sit-down interview with Trump. 

Kelly had expressed her enthusiasm, assuring viewers that the interview would be nothing short of captivating. 

‘I’m really looking forward to this,’ she said in the video. ‘It’s going to be great, it’s going to be spicy, and it’s going to be tough, but it’s going to be good and hopefully, we’re both going to enjoy it.’

More than 80 per cent of the mammals and reptiles in Australia are unique to the country. 

This makes it a bucket-list destination for animal lovers, with wildlife experiences on offer that range from cage diving with great white sharks to meeting Tasmania‘s most famous resident – the Tasmanian devil.

Here we present the best wildlife tours to experience in Australia, many of which help to raise money to further the conservation of the country’s astonishing animal kingdom…

DIVE WITH GREAT WHITE SHARKS – SOUTH AUSTRALIA  

In the 1960s, Adelaide man Rodney Fox survived a near-fatal great white shark attack that left him with 462 stitches in his chest, right hand and arm. But after recovering from the incident, rather than fearing these fascinating creatures, he decided to devote his life to researching them.

He established the Fox Shark Research Foundation, which identifies and catalogues great whites, as well as Rodney Fox Shark Expeditions, a tour operator that sends travellers into the deep in shark-diving cages off the coast of South Australia’s Neptune Islands. 

Those brave enough to go diving with these apex predators have two cage types to choose from – the first is a ‘surface cage’ that sits at the waterline as great white sharks are seen ‘effortlessly gliding around and below the cage’.

Those who have a scuba diving license can go in an ocean floor cage, which descends approximately 20 metres (66ft) ‘into a world that will captivate and spell-bind – a blue aquarium of rocky outcrops teeming with reef fish, white sand and swaying sea-grasses’. The website notes: ‘The great white that appears out of the blue and sweeps gracefully towards, over and around the cage. It is amazing!’

SEE THE OUTBACK WITH CAMELS – SOUTH AUSTRALIA 

Camels were first introduced to Australia from the Canary Islands in 1840, the Australian tourist board reveals, with a population of more than one million camels now calling the continent home. 

Allowing travellers to get to know these beautiful hump-backed mammals, Camel Treks Australia offers a variety of excursions with a caravan of camels, spread over several days, in the Gawler Ranges National Park of South Australia.

Guided by modern-day cameleers – people who lead camels through the outback – travellers can choose to either ride a camel through the desert terrain, or simply walk alongside them. The tour’s website notes: ‘Guest trekkers are often amazed by the depth of personality camels have. They can feel and respond to kindness and love, with some even seeking out people for such contact.’

Nights are spent camping in campsites equipped with private toilets and ‘deluxe’ tents with thick mattresses.

WHALE WATCHING – WESTERN AUSTRALIA 

Each year, whales congregate in the waters above the Bremer Canyon, a 5,000m- (16,400ft) deep sea cleft that lies off the coast of the tiny town of Bremer Bay, southeast of Perth. 

This makes it one of the world’s best whale-watching hotspots – you might spot orcas, long-finned pilot whales, sperm whales and dolphins cutting through the water on a wildlife-watching boat tour with Naturaliste Charters. 

Expect to see researchers on board your boat, as the Naturaliste Charters team is involved with acoustic monitoring of whales and several environmental programs in the area.

In a recent review of the tour, Tripadvisor user ‘Lesley M’ described it as a ‘fantastic experience’, adding that it ‘felt like we were in a David Attenborough documentary’.

DIVE WITH WHALE SHARKS – WESTERN AUSTRALIA 

The Ningaloo Marine Park – which lies halfway up Western Australia’s coastline – is one of the world’s longest fringing (close to shore) reefs, stretching an incredible 240km (149 miles). And it spans 2,435 sq km (940 sq miles).

The World Heritage Listed site is ‘home to deep under-sea canyons, diverse colourful sponge gardens and rich fish communities’, the country’s national parks site notes. 

Eco-tourism operator ‘Exmouth Dive and Whalesharks Ningaloo’ takes travellers around the marine park’s waters so they can swim, snorkel or scuba-dive with Ningaloo’s underwater residents – which notably includes whale sharks, the world’s largest fish, known to stretch up to 15m (49ft) in length. 

Other sea creatures you might spot include dolphins, manta rays, turtles, and humpback whales. These tours also double as a data-collection exercise, with the team contributing to environmental studies and scientific research to ensure the longevity of the reef.

THE WILDLIFE WONDERS TOUR – VICTORIA  

The Wildlife Wonders animal sanctuary offers guided tours with a conservationist through the magical Otways bushland, which surrounds its location near the coastal town of Apollo Bay, on the renowned Great Ocean Road driving route.

As you walk, you’ll learn ‘the secrets of the bush and the plants and animals’ in the region, the refuge’s website says. It adds: ‘It’s almost certain you will see koalas, but you might also be lucky enough to spot a potoroo, bandicoot [ both marsupials] and many other amazing Australian animals that call Wildlife Wonders home.’

Wildlife isn’t the only lure – the tour takes in some epic scenery too, revealing eucalypt woodlands and spectacular ocean vistas. What’s more, you give back with your visit – 100 per cent of the profits generated go to support conservation efforts to protect Australia’s threatened species.

MEET TASMANIAN DEVILS – TASMANIA  

For some, a trip to Tasmania might feel incomplete without sighting the state’s most famous resident – the Tasmanian devil.

Get acquainted with the marsupial at the Devils At Cradle sanctuary, a breeding and conservation facility on the edge of the Cradle Mountain National Park World Heritage area that works to ensure the survival of healthy numbers of Tasmanian devils in the wild.

With tours available day or night, visitors can observe these curious creatures up close, learning about their life cycles and the threats they face with talks from the refuge’s expert team. Tasmanian devils aren’t the only marsupials the sanctuary protects – there are also spotted-tail quoll and eastern quoll to be encountered.

HAVE BREAKFAST WITH A KOALA – QUEENSLAND 

This experience makes breakfast the most exciting meal of the day.

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary in the Queensland city of Currumbin offers visitors the chance to have breakfast with koalas, sitting down for a ‘gourmet’ spread in the refuge’s ‘Koala Habitat’.

During the meal, visitors can chat with the koala keepers, ‘enjoy a koala cuddle’ and get their photograph taken with the creatures. Once breakfast has wrapped, they can set off to explore the rest of the sanctuary, home to 27 hectares of Currumbin rainforest and animals such as kangaroos, echidnas (a spiky mammal) and possums.

The sanctuary’s Currumbin Wildlife Hospital is one of the busiest wildlife hospitals in the world, treating more than 140,000 creatures over the past 20 years. All the money you spend goes to conservation projects, making sure more animals can be cared for in years to come.

VISIT A WILDLIFE REFUGE – NORTHERN TERRITORY 

The Kangaroo Sanctuary Wildlife refuge for rescued orphaned baby kangaroos and adult kangaroos lies near the outback town of Alice Springs.

It runs guided tours in the late afternoon each day, just when their kangaroos are starting to wake from their daytime sleep. The sanctuary’s website notes: ‘Our Kangaroo Sanctuary is a place to celebrate the beauty of the red kangaroo – an Australian icon… our mission is to educate and encourage people to rescue and care for kangaroos and other wildlife.’ 

The refuge has something of a cult following – a TV docuseries, Kangaroo Dundee, was made about the kangaroos it cares for, with the show airing in over 90 countries worldwide.

SPOT KANGAROOS BY THE SEA – NEW SOUTH WALES  

Blend seeing stunning scenery with wildlife spotting in New South Wales, where a number of beaches and bays are prime locations for kangaroo sightings. 

Keep an eye out for eastern grey kangaroos at beautiful Diamond Head Beach in Crowdy Bay National Park on the Barrington Coast, a three-and-a-half-hour drive north of Sydney.

You might spy more wild kangaroos as you tackle the short hiking trail at the Look At Me Now Headland in the Moonee Beach Nature Reserve. ‘All year round, you can see eastern grey kangaroos nibbling on the grass,’ the national parks website notes. 

And whilst you’re paddling in the waters of Depot Beach and Pebbly Beach in Murramarang National Park, north of Sydney, look to the grassy clearings around the shore – kangaroos are often seen hopping along nearby. 

CROCODILE SPOTTING – QUEENSLAND 

Dating back to the 1930s, Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures has long been an institution for tourists in far North Queensland.

The first place in Australia to breed crocodiles in captivity, the focus at the wildlife centre is on crocodile conservation. Its website notes: ‘Documentaries produced at Hartley’s helped arouse public interest and sympathy for crocodile conservation, leading to the protection of wild crocodiles in 1974.’

Travellers can see crocodiles getting fed as they take a boat ride around the centre’s croc-filled lagoons, with expert guides sharing facts about the lives of these fascinating reptiles throughout the tour. ‘Getting up close and personal with these impressive creatures was amazing,’ declared Tripadvisor user ‘LeisuremanVic’. 

Crocodiles aren’t the only creatures at the centre – there are also snakes, cassowaries (a large bird), lizards and kangaroos.

NRL Immortal Andrew Johns has dramatically quit the SEN radio network as the fallout from his on-air feud with brother Matthew Johns continues to fester.

The footy siblings – who often don’t see eye to eye – have failed to patch up their differences following a heated on-air debate ahead of the State of Origin series opener last month.

Fox Sports identity Matthew Johns, who hosts the Morning Glory program each Friday, praised the coaching abilities of Queensland mentor Billy Slater, which got under his younger brother’s skin.

Andrew Johns is also a member of the NSW Blues coaching staff.

SEN station boss Craig Hutchison was confident the siblings would soon be on the same page – possibly once the Origin series is finished – but it is believed a fired up Andrew Johns has declared he won’t be back on the airwaves in 2023.

On June 9 – for the second successive week – Andrew failed to show at SEN’s Walker St studios in North Sydney.

Matthew Johns stated in the lead up ‘I’m just going to leave the studio door open,’ and if ‘he walks through the doors at one minute to nine then he does, if he doesn’t we will just have to make do.’

Johns and respected sports journalist Andrew Webster then failed to address the elephant in the room.

Matthew’s comments on Slater incensed young brother Andrew, who is as passionate as they come when it comes to the Blues.

‘Mate, I’m sick of you rapping Queensland, that’s what I’m sick of,’ Andrew, who is widely regarded as the Blues’ best ever player, fumed on live radio last month.

‘Put your Maroon jersey on, you should have some at home.

‘Just because you played four games and lost all four doesn’t mean you need to s**t bag NSW.’ 

Earlier this month, Matthew Johns confirmed the former NSW Blues halfback still wasn’t prepared to smoke the peace pipe.

‘Houston we have a problem, it’s official my brother is completely off me,’ Matty told listeners.

‘There were rumours he might not come. I thought the last three weeks of him not returning phone calls was laziness.

‘He is off me. This is nothing new for me and Joey (Andrew). We were forced to share a bedroom for 19 years.

‘We’ve had a fill of each other. Every six months we have a blue like this.’

While Matthew’s Origin career was relatively short, his brother played 23 times for the Blues, including a legendary man-of-the-match performance in Game Two of the 2005 series.

The pair have often clashed over the years, with most of their run-ins good natured.

Last July, Matthew used a radio debate about State of Origin as an opportunity to take a savage swipe at his brother over his love life.

The NSW side is known for dropping stars from their team with regularity – often when fans think they don’t deserve to be shown the door – whereas Queensland are regarded as showing more loyalty to their players.

Matty used Andrew – who is in his third long-term relationship – to sum up the Blues’ selection process.

‘It’s very NSW. I want people to know….be extremely concerned. Don’t marry anyone from NSW because we fall in love with new acquaintances very easily,’ he said on SEN.

‘What you do, is you just get rid of them. Just bring someone else in.

‘I mean, the best example is our best ever player, Andrew Johns, I think he’s onto his third wife.’

Establishing the difference between Great Britain, the British Isles and the United Kingdom can cause confusion even among Britons.

The region, off the northwest coast of mainland Europe, has a collective history with a long list of terms to refer to different areas, both geographically and politically.

Scroll down to learn more about what differentiates them – and never mistake Britain for the UK again!

UK vs Great Britain (or Britain)

Great Britain, or simply Britain, is not a country but an island made up of England, Scotland and Wales.

It is referred to as ‘Great’ because of its size, being the largest island in the British Isles according to Historic UK.

Like Great Britain, the United Kingdom comprises England, Scotland and Wales, with the addition of Northern Ireland.

However just to confuse matters, the term Britain is sometimes used to refer to the UK as a whole, as noted by Britannica.

Is the UK a country?

The UK Prime Minister’s official site describes the UK as ‘countries within a country’, as shown by the National Archives.

To break this down, the UK is an independent ‘island country’ which is made up of four nation countries – England, Scotland and Wales (also known as Great Britain) and Northern Ireland.

The UK is also referred to as a sovereign state where Parliament has ‘supreme legal authority’ to ‘create or end any law’, according to the UK Parliament website.

‘For Americans, the best analogy would be that the UK is like the USA, whilst its four consistent countries are like states,’ says Historic UK.

British Isles

The British Isles is a geographical term used to refer to a collection of more than 6,000 islands.

‘The group consists of two main islands, Great Britain and Ireland, and numerous smaller islands and island groups, including the Hebrides, the Shetland Islands, the Orkney Islands, the Isles of Scilly, and the Isle of Man’, Britannica says.

‘Some also include the Channel Islands in this grouping,’ it adds (more on this below).

British Isles – an Irish perspective

‘Although the term British Isles has a long history of common usage, it has become increasingly controversial,’ Britannica explains.

This applies ‘especially for some in Ireland who object to its connotation of political and cultural connections between Ireland and the United Kingdom’, it adds.

The Irish government has not supported the use of the term ‘British Isles’ since September 2005.

Speaking at the time, then Foreign Affairs Minister Dermot Ahern said: ‘The British Isles is not an officially recognised term in any legal or inter-governmental sense. It is without any official status.’

Mr Ahern’s famous comments are quoted by Sean Moncrieff in his book ‘The Irish Paradox: How and Why We Are Such a Contradictory People’.

England vs Wales vs Scotland

The UK Parliament – made up of the House of Commons and the House of Lords in London – is ‘the supreme legal authority’ that can ‘create or end any law’, according to the UK Constitution.

However, Wales and Scotland both have parliaments with a certain level of autonomy. And though the English and Welsh legal systems are bound together, both Wales and Scotland can create their own laws.

For example, the drink-drive limit and the legal hours for buying alcohol are stricter in Scotland than in England and Wales.

Arson and manslaughter do not exist as offences in Scotland, where they are referred to as ‘wilful fire raising’ and ‘culpable homicide’ retrospectively, according to the Scottish Parliament.  

Ireland vs Northern Ireland vs Republic of Ireland

Ireland is an island located to the west of Great Britain, which is separated by the North Channel.

The island is the second largest in the geographical area of the British Isles, after Great Britain.

It is made up of two countries – Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Northern Ireland forms part of the UK, which is no longer a part of the European Union.

While the Republic of Ireland is its own independent country and remains one of 27 members of the EU bloc.

All of the island of Ireland was part of the UK from 1801 to 1922. 

Where do the Channel Islands fit in?

The Channel Islands have been ‘dependencies of the British crown’ since 1066, according to Britannica.

Located off the coast of France, they are not a part of the UK and are self-governing with their own customs and laws.

The four main islands are Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark.

Some say the Channel Islands are a part of the British Isles including the official website of the British Royal Family, which refers to them as ‘self-governing possessions of the British Crown’.

While others argue that they are not included because they are physically a separate archipelago from the rest of the isles.

The Channel Islands were the only British territory to be occupied by the Germans during World War II, Britannica adds.
