David Marr· Host0:33
[upbeat music] Welcome to Late Night Live, coming to you from Gadigal Land. I'm David Marr, back in the chair after a bit of a break. Very, very grateful to Tracey Holmes, a professional filling in for this amateur. Tonight, rather a lot about Donald Trump, but how can we resist as he celebrates his 80th birthday watching half-naked wrestlers wallop each other on the White House lawns? All gold indoors and all biff in the garden. Not much reported here is his grudge against South Africa, which he reckons, with no proof at all, is conducting a white genocide. They are his words.
