00:00Whenever Donald Trump makes a comment that is ridiculed, it always turns out to be true.
00:03I refer that to the cats and dogs. And I find your line of attacking those who believe
00:10that there are sometimes divine interventions, that actually there are people out there that
00:14believe in God and believe that sometimes they get spared. I find that line of yours
00:19very cynical. Do you know something? I was in an aeroplane that crashed into the ground in 2010.
00:25I was smashed to pieces. I shouldn't have survived. I've no idea why I did, but who knows,
00:30maybe even I believe that at times there is a higher intervention that can work in your favour.
00:35I doubt that you would say that God wants you as MP for Clacton in the way that Donald Trump
00:40said that he thinks God wants him to be President of the United States. That's my point.
00:46You know what? British armies for centuries have fought saying God is on our side.
00:52People need to believe in something. And if you were facing the prospect of walking out of your
00:56front door and someone might shoot you every day because it's happened twice in the last two
01:00months, the fact that he has a religious faith maybe is what's giving him the strength to continue.
