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.
