Transcripts For GBN Headliners 20240702

Given to infected blood victims for the most urgent cases, while the final scheme becomes operational. Since the 1970s, 30,000 people were infected with hiv and hepatitis through contaminated blood products and transfusions. Around 3000 have transfusions. Around 3000 have since died , and a conservative since died, and a conservative mp has spoken to gb news about his battle with sepsis, admitting hes extremely lucky to be alive. Craig mckinley is returning to parliament for the first time tomorrow after suffering a life threatening episode of sepsis in september, which led to the amputation of his hands and feet. The mp for south thanet has spoken out about his road to recovery and wants to be known as the first bionic mp. Bionic mp. Everything was starting to shut down, it was quite serious and my wife was told that theyd very rarely see people who have this amount of illness in the hospital and perhaps prepare for the worst, maybe they could have saved a bit of a foot. But my surgeon said , you are better off surgeon said, you are better off having them off because you can have prosthetics and youll walk far better than having a partial foot. Im hoping people might give me the benefit of the doubt and say, that mans been a fighter for himself. Hes damn well going to fight for me. Im going to give him my support. The bourbonic mp. Bionic mp is what i want to be. And for the latest stories, sign up to gb news alerts by scanning the qr code on your screen or go to gb news. Com slash alerts. Now its time for headliners. Headliners. Thank you. Sofia. Hello and welcome to headliners. Your run through the next days newspapers with three comedians. Im leo kearse and tonight im joined by steve and alan from the mash report and louis shaffer, whose mash report would you say the carbohydrates in mashed potato will kill you. 7 how mashed potato will kill you . How are you both doing . Are you both doing . I appreciate the blast from the past as well. Thats it was a long while ago. I had that career. Yeah, those were the i had hair. Yeah but it was something. At least youve been on the tv. Ive got a focus. Youre on it now. Tv right at this instant. Tv right at this instant. Lewis, what more do you want . I want to be on. I want to be on the bbc. I want to be on the bbc. Well, good luck with that. Yeah. Hurry up. Well, it still exists anyway. Lets have a quick look at wednesdays front pages. The daily mail leads with nightmare at 37,000ft. The telegraph has. Ive lost my hands and feet to sepsis, says mp. The guardian leads with alarm over big increase in under 40s with diabetes. The times has make fewer arrests to help jails. Police told the i has brit charged with spying for china found dead in maidenhead park and the daily star has rats. An apology and those were your headunes. An apology and those were your headlines. And lets have a headlines. And lets have a closer look at those front pages, starting with the daily mail. Steve, theyve got nightmare at 37,000ft. This is a tragic story. Im sure many people have seen the pictures or the video of the plane that suddenly drops because of turbulence. This is a british grandfather who died on the storm lashed passenger jet. The storm lashed passengerjet. It says here and its thought that he had a heart attack, although other people on there also received the trauma of being hit by the plane as they fly up to see some of the injuries as well. This was the Singapore Airlines who was making its way out of heathrow. And it just it just shows how frail we humans are and we put ourselves in these situations. I suppose flying is its not what we were evolved for, is it . So it seems like we are tiny in comparison. A little bit of turbulence comes along and it can just do this to us. It also makes me realise the next time im on a plane and they say, keep your seatbelt on during sitting down and you think, yeah right, whatever. I think ive learnt a lesson from this. I think im going to keep the belt on. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, the turbulence must have come on quite quickly, louis, because i mean, i saw a video from it and, you know, suddenly everything just hits the ceiling, drinks, you know, somebodys walking down the down the aisle. Yeah. What are they what are they supposed to say to people . You know, were not going to have this happen. They cant say it because but it happens. And people like you say, it just shows how frail humans are. No, it just shows how amazing we are. Were putting aeroplanes in the sky that are flying 37,000ft. And this is this is news because it doesnt happen very often. I dont know what more do you want from these people, but it goes wrong. And it was a it was a boeing plane. Of course, boeing have been under theres been a lot of scrutiny of boeing recently because theyve had a lot of accidents. But i guess this cant be they cant be blamed on the plane. The door stayed on. If theres one take home message from this story, the doors were still attached when it landed. Half of all planes that are flying are probably boeing planes, so give those guys a break, okay . I also buy boeing. Sometimes i also buy boeing. Sometimes theyre actually boeing. Thats why its called boeing because thats how they make planes. Okay, moving on to the guardian lewis. What have they got in the front cover . Has the guardian says alarm over big increase in under 40 with diabetes. This is like this is news that people have got that everybodys getting diabetes. What is diabetes. Its diabetes. What is diabetes. Its i didnt even i did i almost had you i got you calling this a non story. This is i looked at this and thought, of course theyre giving it to lewis. This is going to be right up your street. It is right up my street. And i know exactly, but theyre saying its caused by people eating bad food. What is bad food . Fat fat is an essential. You need fat. Ive not said that in here. Theyre blaming on sugar. Look on the bottom. Look on the bottom. Yeah, sugars got to get a people are people are becoming fat. People are much more. Theres much more prevalence of obesity than there used to be. And thats causing thats driving diabetes. Diabetes. No, thats not what theyre saying. Theyre saying we adverts for cheapo unhealthy food. The foods that on our shelves that are increasingly high in fat, salt and sugar. Yeah. So stuff like salted caramel ice cream i mean you can hardly youre going to tell me thats healthy. Im not going to eat it. But that does because i cant eat two because youll eat too much of it. You can eat any of anything or you need fat. You dont necessarily need that much salt and you dont need any sugan salt and you dont need any sugar. We can produce our own sugan sugar. We can produce our own sugar, but its not going to i, im im saying this. Im saying this comes from the Diabetes Research uk. Research uk. Theyre not attacking your steaks though. You can calm down that kind of fat. Its when they inject fatty things. Inject sugarin inject fatty things. Inject sugar in things. Yeah. Put some sugar in things. Yeah. Put some sugar on top, some salt on top and then go. There you go. No thats what they are doing. Louis. You had you had diabetes or you were pre diabetic. I was at 5. 9 when in this country, 6. 0 kwasi is youre basically basically diabetic. Basically basically diabetic. And now im 5. 8, right . No, im saying they are attacking meat because theyre saying fat is no good. Theyre saying salt is no good. Theyre saying salt is no good. Its saying sugar is no good. Added do not say added. Added do not say added. Read the thing right there. Yeah didnt you just yell at me before the show . Maybe you could read some of the articles increasingly high in fat, salt and sugar. Yeah. Theres something to be fat in all of those three. Its not your steak. Calm down. They let you. They let you eat your steak . No theyre not. Theyre against eating steak because its got high. I guess the sort of traditional diet advice that comes from our bigwigs and quangos has been , like lewis quangos has been, like lewis says, its been to eat lots of carbohydrates , lots of carbohydrates, lots of vegetables, seed oils and eat a tiny amount of steak because it will give you diabetes. Yeah, well , they will say that. Well, they will say that. But that was the main story in the 80s, wasnt it, when everyone was like, eat less fat, to be less fat because it was a simpler system . We didnt understand how sugar works. But since the 2000, since atkins was a thing, remember those days weve known the roles of sugar and that theyre bad as well . Ill admit at the moment, this is something you could. You were saying this, this is this. This is like saying this. I read the atkins book in the 2000. You know what you did, but the rest of the people still dont believe this thing. And even and even people like diabetes uk, which i would never trust for any information. But do you think also part of the problem is that weve now got a Permissive Society that says, oh, fat is beautiful, you should be, you know, if you want to be fat, youd be fat. You know, goblin mode. You know, maybe we need to bring back shame. At the moment, were trying to stop fat shaming. And maybe its the one thing keeping people from getting diabetes. The problem is, though, when shamed fat people feel upset, they go home and eat more. So they go home and eat more. So i think thats the problem. And im not saying that in a, you know, thats thats my response. If i have a bad gig on the way back, i will buy chocolate and i dont use my club card because i dont use my club card because i dont want it on my permanent record. So, yeah, well, i just dont think you can sugar coat the message to them because then delete it as well. I dont agree with you. No, i dont think thats what it is, what i think, what the problem, why people are fat today is because, were eating bad food. Yeah, too much sugar , too yeah, too much sugar, too much, too much, too much nonsense. Were eating too much food. Okay, were moving on. Weve got the eye. Steve. What have they got in the cover . Brit charged with spying for china. Found dead in maidenhead park. Its amazing how two things can happen without any link between them. This is who would have thought this . So, six days after he appeared in court, we covered the story here. Of the three people that we talked about who were accused of spying for china, this, matthew trickett, he stood out from the rest. He looked, different. And rest. He looked, different. And he was deep undercover. If this is a chinese spies put it this way. Because youre saying he wasnt chinese. He wasnt chinese. He was a white guy from england. Now hes a dead one. Now hes a dead one. Thats the takeaway from this story. Yeah, but the people that say takeaway, its not our audience for this story. The people who are watching this, steve, its like 11 00 at night. Try to keep things simple. So this guy is dead. It says of unknown causes. The cause might have been being a spy. Just saying. Yeah. Just saying. Yeah. I mean, its we have seen before spies being killed. Although he did tell two separate custody sergeants that he was. He would kill himself. So this this could just be a tragic suicide from a man who saw that, you know, this, the problems he was he was in is, you know, ending his career. The truth is. Is that china . The truth is. Is that china . I hate to say it because they love a lot of lovely people. And i like their food, but theyre theyre britains enemy. Theyre theyre britains enemy. Theyre the worlds enemy. They want to be the number one country in the world. And the problem with china is, is that theyre on the way down and nobody even knows it. And theyve got a theyve got a cult mentality with xi, the president there, jinping. And hes, hes hes on the way down. And this is what they do when theyre on the way down. They like russia did this for years and spies and william, weve seen, you know, Chinese Secret Service agents harassing people, openly harassing people evenin people, openly harassing people even in the centre of london and, you know, been implicated and, you know, been implicated and involved in assassinations in other countries. So its not beyond the realms of possibility that this is the long arm of xi jinping. I would say that thats what this is, which is, i hate to say it. I know people are watching. Im not that interested in this kind of stuff. Okay, well, youre on the right show then. But no carbs. No the entire story. Theres lots of stuff thats interesting , but. But chinese interesting, but. But Chinese People killing chinese spies. People killing chinese spies. But its in our. Its our land. This is exactly what happened with the novichok thing. The salisbury thing. Its shocking that it happens in the uk. Yeah, and the uk cant protect its borders not only from not only from, you know, people who want to come over in small boats, but also from any malicious , outside interference, malicious, outside interference, you know, any russian or chinese agents that want to come over and assassinate people on our, on our soil. Its. Well, so what are we going to do about it . I mean, who what are we going to what what is britain going to do about it . Britain needs to stand up and fight for itself. Yeah, well, weve said said that before. Anyway, lets finish with the daily star. Lewis, what have they got on the cover . Oh well good news. Oh well good news. Rats and apology. Justice for rodents. This is this is the star, which is fantastic newspaper. Ive been reading it more and more. Its, its a 95 piece, so its not that expensive, but it says basically after 676 years of taking the blame for the bubonic plague , blame for the bubonic plague, theyre saying it isnt the rats. Its. What are these . What rats. Its. What are these . What do they call humans for . Humans . Its fleas on humans. Its fleas on humans. I dont think whatever it was, i a few years ago, they were blaming gerbils. Yeah. Yeah. So now theyre theyre blaming head lice. Before that, they were blaming rats. I mean, this is this has gone through more origin stories than the covid virus. I dont think they were blaming the rats back then, rebooting that this newspaper every single day. Every single day. It says proud to live animals and my word. They mean it today. Dont they . Theyre taking the rat side. Yeah. Thats quite the leap. But its believable as well because whilst rats were around, we also werent that much of a clean species at the time. I watch things like time. I watch things like britain. Its a bit of a tangent, but watch bridgerton, whatever. Cleaning of teeth wasnt around, people wouldnt have snogged like that. Yeah, have snogged like that. Yeah, thats because were not clean. Unless you really go to town. Were not a clean animal. Thats not true. I have ive got a feeling bridgerton isnt the most historically accurate , the most historically accurate, depiction of. And it is. And it is. Its supposed to be so thats wrong. And the truth is, is that people didnt brush their teeth back then. They didnt need to brush their teeth because they ate a very low carb diet. If you dont eat carbs, you dont eat the brush, your teeth, your teeth. I do not brush my teeth, okay . Not a dentist does not brush his teeth. Thats the front pages dealt with. But coming up, the bbc is in hot water over an obituary. Weve got racist bees. And europe finally decides to close its welcome back to headliners. Im leo kirsten. Im still here with leo kirsten. Im still here with Steve N Allen and Louis Schaefer. And we are hosting a night with the headliners live. Its stand up. Its not this show. And you can join us for this evening of stand up comedy with andrew doyle, simon evans, josh howie and me, leo kearse. For more information, scan the qr code on screen or visit gbnews. Com. And now back to the show. Weve got the guardian with news of compensation for victims of the infected blood scandal. I think theyre still going to be some bad blood, though. Steve. Yeah, in fact, the blood victims could get compensation payments of over 2. 5 million. Terms and conditions apply. One of them is theyve still got to be alive, which is part of why this is so bad. So well go through the details. I mean, what they cant get is rid of the diseases. Is the whole point about perspective. How much is this money worth . It seems like a big figure. This was announced the day after the damning report that blamed the nhs, and the government called them culpable. Culpable is not quite covering it though, because culpable makes you think, oh, that mistake was their fault. Yeah, but then wheres the word that describes the cover up . The managing to kick this down the road, the not even wanting to have an inquiry and when you know what youve done shortens peoples lives. Waiting is the peoples lives. Waiting is the biggest crime because i mean, theyre already thousands whove died. It wont be receiving money if you now if you die between now and the compensation being paid out, it will be left to your estate. Oh, thatll cheer up. None of this makes up for it. And the. I think the impressive thing here is that itv one didnt have to do a drama about it. They actually finally got around to it. Maybe there is some hope for this nation. Payments of £210,000 will be made pretty soon to try and get the ball rolling on this, because of how long itll take. Follows up a £100,000. But there was a story in yesterdays papers which, you know, this not the job of this show about a guy who received some, some blood, got hiv, passed it to his pregnant wife within a couple of years of that point, all three were dead. Oh, my god. So 2. 5 million gunshot wounds means no gunshot wounds. You know what, steve . You know, you the way youre sounding it, just you. We. This story is so deep. And what the way theyre presenting it as if its a done deal. The fact is, we dont know how. First of all, Everybody Knows that blood is bad. Other peoples blood is bad. Other peoples blood is bad. But the. But what these people have done is so much, well, no blood can save peoples lives. My life. My life was saved by a blood transfusion. I cant remember, like nine pints or something. It was ridiculous because it was coming out. They had to keep pumping it back into me. Yeah, but the you know, now or then that was in the 90s. They screened it and they made sure the infected blood inquiry, they were getting blood from america that they knew, you know, because in america you get paid for your blood. So you know, heroin addicts, people like that, sell their blood. But obviously theyre more likely to have diseases such as hepatitis, blood can say, listen, let me finish my point. While i, while im thinking of it now, blood can save peoples lives. Yeah, but at the peoples lives. Yeah, but at the same time, its super dangerous to be doing all this. What . This report shows the unbelievable faith that people have in the nhs and in mainstream, in mainstream medicine. I dont think its faith if youre a haemophiliac, its not about faith, its about needing. The fact is that the people who who needed help, they needed a blood transfusion. They were definitely sick people. Okay. Yeah, some of them died from this and i agree with you. But some of them, some of them just said, you know, haemophilia is not an instant death sentence. Yeah. Sometimes, death sentence. Yeah. Sometimes, you know, it was, the case that the diseases they got were far worse than the diseases they were being treated for. We dont know that. I mean, we dont know that. I mean, we do know. We do know that. We do know it. Yeah. All right, look, can i just defend this . Because this. Ive gotten off on a really bad. This is the. This is my worst show ive ever done. You opened with blood is bad for you. Is blood is bad for you. And an emergency. It has to be done. Yeah. Its not good. You know what it takes . I dont want your blood put into me. I regularly donate just because it makes me more pious. Yeah and. And thats exactly right. But the truth is, is that theres a deep belief in, like, this little germ theory that hiv causes disease, that that hepatitis c is caused by one kind of virus. Its i dont i dont believe in any of it. And you know what . Im not going to say that id have to read this. I have to cut short your conspiracy theorist rant there, louis. Yeah, because weve got to do other stories cutting. Mike. Mike. Weve got the telegraph now and has the internet criminal court gone walking, gone broke as britain joins the criticism. Louis okay, this is a slightly better story. Sunak slightly better story. Sunak criticises ix, which is the International Criminal courts deeply unhelpful effort to arrest netanyahu. And there and arrest netanyahu. And there and maybe youve heard whats happening in gaza. I dont know a lot of people maybe havent, but theres arrest warrants have been instituted in gated onto netanyahus, the Prime Minister of israel , netanyahus, the Prime Minister of israel, and rishi sunak is against it. The guy whos doing it is the prosecutor. Hes a scottish dude. Hes a muslim scottish dude. Hes a muslim scottish dude. Hes got a muslim name. I dont know whether hes muslim or anything, but the truth is, is that this is not it isnt helpful because i think british people have forgotten what a war is and a war is bad. Its really bad. Whats happening . Its bad if youre a palestinian , you did nothing palestinian, you did nothing wrong and youre being pummelled by the israelis. Its bad. But by the israelis. Its bad. But what happened to the israelis and potentially happening is also bad. So this guy should mind his own business, his own. But i mean, this could be a watershed moment for the icc because, you know, britains a signatory to the to the rome statute or something. Its called its a signatory to the icc, basically. So if netanyahu did visit britain, which, you know, is likely to happen at some point and this, arrest warrant was out for, for netanyahu , britain would be duty netanyahu, britain would be duty bound to honour their agreement and arrest netanyahu, which we obviously wouldnt do, although it does link in with the front page of the times. You mentioned earlier where were being told to make fewer arrests. If they could overlap those two stories and say, well, just maybe not do this one and then we get away with it, for then we get away with it, for the arrest warrant details here are the crimes, wilful killing, murder, starvation. Now, if you take starvation as a separate one, those first two are very much also what happened on october 7th . It seems like that would be a weird arrest to make. Theres questions to be asked about the starvation early on, claims that it would be used, but maybe nows not the time to look into it. War crimes can also be investigated after the war, rather than make it harder for the war to end. And the problem with this is it implies moral equivalency when there isnt any. And the problem with implying moral equivalency is then if you disprove the equivalency, it looks like youve disproved the claims. Yeah. No what happened . The two sides are not equivalent, but they can be wrong on both sides. Keep them separate so you can look into them. Yeah, i think what has been disproven is the legitimacy of the icc. I think its yet another institution that thats going to fall , another institution that thats going to fall, after overstepping itself. Anyway, weve got the telegraph now and the bbc are under fire for saying the dead iranian president had a mixed legacy when he forced women to dress modestly and murdered thousands of socialists. But he probably did some bad things as well. Steve the bbc, slated for absurd obituary of butcher of tehran. And ive got to be honest, that would be a brave business title if you were going into halal meats butcher of tehran. But maybe theyre not going to do that now. The bbc, facing criticism after saying that irans hard line president died in a helicopter crash. He had a mixed legacy. There were good people on both sides, i believe, as someone once said in the obituary, they said that he was loved by hardliners of the Islamic Republic of iran. So hardliners, other butchers loved him. On hardliners, other butchers loved him. Oh yeah. Other i mean, hardliners. I think sounds like a spin off of this show, like a podcast. Only one. Youd be on it. Lewis would be on it. Id never get invited, the bbc noted his leadership helped to reform the process of the sorting out the process of the sorting out the backlog of court cases. Now, to be fair, since , 2021, the to be fair, since, 2021, the regime executed 1844 iranians, including a huge number of dissidents, religious minorities, mostly in sham trials. Yeah theyre not going back proven executions. Theres thousands more missing that were clearly killed as well. Yeah, thats theyre not in the courts anymore. So theres a backlog sorted. Also, do you know how how much more efficient a sham trial is than a proper trial. So well done, bbc, you found a good spin, but its also the bbc. Its the Bbc World Service that put this thing and theyre not really almost even part of the bbc. Theyre so out there and they dont even represent they dont represent this country. Theyre like they do. Theyre like they do. Theyre like they do. They explicitly represent this country around the world. Its pretty much the sole purpose. Why are you interrupting me . Why are you interrupting me . Because youre wrong. Are you talking about blood . I am saying yes. Theyre part of this thing and theyre part of this thing and theyre part of that thing, and. But theyre not. But they dont think of themselves as part of this thing. They dont think of. Well, they used to be funded by the. Yes, i know you. You cant interrupt me because im going off on places i dont even know where im going. So its not like i can get back to that place easily. The fact is, the fact is its the bbc which which has no place in a democratic country. Because i have that on my bingo card. They are basically the state. I guess theres some equivalence there between, you know, iran, state media and the uks state media. Ken loach is one example. I mean, hes not as credible as he used to be, but hes hes compared there. Hes compared the say the bbc is basically state propaganda. But what i mean, just to you know, play devils advocate for the bbc, i mean, what i love about the butcher of tehran is that he marched side by side. The islamists in iran march side by side with a leftist, the leftist help them into power, much as the green party are doing now in this country. And then afterwards they turned around and locked them all up and then, you know, later slaughtered them. This you know, exposing them. This you know, exposing the utility. You dont have to tell me that. You tell the people who are watching this thing that they have that when you join with these people who are anti israel, youre basically putting a death sentence to britain. Yeah. And in this case, in irans case, it was on your own head. Yeah. In their own head. Yeah. In their own head. Yeah. In their own head. So, i mean, if only socialists were capable of learning lessons from history, they wouldnt be socialists. Theyre not. Weve got the express now , and europe has express now, and europe has decided to protect its borders, but only against russian missiles. Lewis . Yes. The eu urged to build £3. 4 billion iron dome to defend against Vladimir Putins attack. Suddenly, not suddenly, but the last couple of years, the europeans are like interested in like war coming from russia. I dont think its going to happen, but it might that russia wants a lot of land in order for them to be happy. But theyre they want to have a similar thing to israel. What israel has with this sky dome, which patriot missiles, i dont know whether theyre going to build, build it themselves or whether theyre going to use probably get some chinese and russians in here to do it. Right. Trust the russians. But the truth is, is thatis russians. But the truth is, is that is that europe is indefensible. What is indefensible. What is indefensible , and the only way indefensible, and the only way to smash the russians or prevent the russians from doing this is to attack the russians. Well what i dont understand, steve, is the if its possible to build an iron dome of missile protection. So, you know, russian Ballistic Missiles and drones cant attack europe. Why didnt we do it, like, for, like, six decades ago when they first built, you know , icbms that can built, you know, icbms that can carry Nuclear Warheads over to us and destroy the west . Yeah. Us and destroy the west . Yeah. I mean, some of the technology i imagine is better now. Yeah. But to try and now. Yeah. But to try and compare it to the, israeli iron dome, the land mass is the issue, isnt it . So much easier to have an iron dome over a smaller area than a huge continent . I smaller area than a huge continent . I think smaller area than a huge continent . I think that smaller area than a huge continent . I think that might be the problem here, but i mean, why not go for it . 3. 4 billion . Thats way less than the amount of covid money that went missing that the government never looked for just from one nation. So it forjust from one nation. So it seems very affordable. Its a bit keynesian economics as well. Get around to building some of this stuff. Itll keep the economy going and hopefully means if you look, well keep rocket scientists busy , which is rocket scientists busy, which is a good idea. Its not rocket science. That phrase there must be sick of it. They deserve more money. It seemed like no amount of money. £3. 4 billion. It didnt seem like a real number. It seems like you cant build anything. Theres nothing you can build. Hs2 was way more than theres no money for anyway. Were at the half way point, but join us in a moment. For a tory mp under fire for comments about British Values, scotland loses its religion and Scarlett Johansson loses her rag over an imitator. Welcome back to headliners. And just a quick shout out to anna at my daughters nursery. Theyre all lovely there, but, but anna watches the show. Shes a big fan, so. Yeah. Hello, anna. Anyway weve got the times now, and Scarlett Johansson is furious that an ai has copied her voice. Well, imagine how furious i am every time i hear groundskeeper willie voice. Louis, tell us more. Louis, tell us more. Hey, Scarlett Johansson shocked and angered over chat gpt sound alike. And thats the openai. I dont know how this thing works. I actually have one, but can they open . I one, but can they open . I confirmed that the actress behind the sky voice was not Scarlett Johansson, but pulled the voice anyway. She they the voice anyway. She they pulled. The point is, is that, okay, openai has been using her voice and shes upset about that because she would like to be paid, but they have to use her voice or it sounds like. Are you interrupting me . Well, in the story, because, you know, i just want to get to the facts. It was a bad thing. It was a bad thing. It was a bad to get to the facts. Basically, what happened was they wanted Scarlett Johansson to do the voice. Scarlett johansson said, no, they got somebody who sounds like Scarlett Johansson. Is that the same as copying Scarlett Johansson . No, i think she just needs to get over this. As much as it might sound like, oh, thats not fair. This is the way its going to be, i people will be able to find who sounds exactly like you, if not, just create that voice, sample it, and make it a bit more like you. Its just the way its going to be. It isnt the way. Now, can i, can i now, just for context, say, remember the adverts with, the guy who sounded like Morgan Freeman . The more than insurance. It wasnt Morgan Freeman. He sounded. He was doing an impression thats happened in adverts for forever. It has happened. But theres been lawsuits, including the bette midler thing, which he sued sony films because they they actually went to her and asked her to sing the theme song, and she wouldnt sing it. So they got someone to imitate her and that she won like nine, or she won like tons of money, like £1 million. And so she successfully and she won. And thats whats going to happen. Thats whats going to happen here. They basically went to her. They asked her, will you do it . She said, i loved you in the film. Her in 2013. This is the guy, sam altman, and she said, no. And they did it anyway. And they have proof of this. So it isnt like. Well, it sounds like thats like saying like, you know, i dont know. Its like you cant get the mercedes that you want. So you go and buy, you know , a ford go and buy, you know, a ford that looks like the mercedes. Its like youre not defrauding mercedes. Yeah, yeah. Mercedes. Yeah, yeah. I also just say about the fact that that he wanted to copy the film her. Why do these people who are making ai copy films where ai is not a good thing . They go, oh, well make it into a robot. Lets make one that looks like the terminator, because people love that. No, learn from films. Okay, weve got the telegraph now in british, bees are scared of asian hornets. Dont these bees know that diversity is strength . Steve, we need to send them on inclusivity training, be british bees. Too scared to go out because of asian hornet threat. It turns out theyve threat. It turns out theyve been reading the daily mail and they, you know, these asian hornets are coming over here in very small boats across the channel and to be fair, the daily star normally calls them killer asian hornets , which even killer asian hornets, which even puts me off. I dont like anything with killer in its name. Killer whales. I dont even have 1000w just in case. So it turns out that these bees sense the threat of a predator around so they stay in a bit more. Which makes sense. If you werent a bee, which means they dont actually store up enough food to get them through the winter , then they just die out. Winter, then they just die out. So its a bit sad like that. The British Beekeeping Association has told us what we should do if we see an asian hornet flail your arms, cry, ruin the picnic for everyone. I didnt say that. Thats just my guess. But yeah, the headlines are still. Oh, sorry. This is the most important bit of the story, it says the animals pose no threat to human life. But the headlines are still. Theyre coming over here with the martial arts. Yeah, crazy. And i dont i dont understand who the killer bees. If they dont pose a threat. But but, i mean, this has happened with other animals, like red squirrels. Red squirrels have squirrels. Red squirrels have been, you know, driven out of most of the uk by by, you know, larger, more aggressive grey squirrels from, i think canada. Yeah. Or you could say, or you could say that, the anglo saxons came to this country and it posed a threat to the atari. This is this is the way things are. Maybe the maybe the asian hornets were coming over here, whether humans were here or not. And theres nothing we can do about it. Why do we have to control the entire world . On the other hand, i think we need to control the entire world. Bees bees are very important. From what i know. Maybe theyre not that important , but i think that important, but i think theyre very important. Hes doing so good with balance tonight. Yeah, yeah. Pollination. And also making honey, which contains your favourite thing. Sugar. Anyway, weve got the. Weve got the guardian. Now with the news that scotland is the land of freedom, but only from religion. I assume youve got an rem joke about this, steve. Oh, i didnt think of that. Oh thats a good one. Sadly, its not. Any majority of people in scotland have no religion. Census shows. They dont believe theres a god which with their diet, theyll find out soon enough, data from the 2022 scottish census shows that secularism has increased. Its now from 36. 7 up to 51. Good. Can we atheists finally get a National Holiday . Every other religion seems to get one. I want a day off as well. But what should the church of scotland do about this . The reverend david cameron, not that one, said our reforms of recent years have sought to address what the church is today, and theyve come up with Different Things theyre going to do, which includes running debt support initiatives, Substance Use and dependency recovery services. Talk about never going out of business in scotland. That is a business in scotland. That is a great way to move obe louis. Does this worry you that scotland has become less religious . Religious because weve seen in other places that when religion goes new religions such as gender ideology, critical race theory, social justice theory come in and people get indoctrinated with them. Instead, theyre still scottish people. Ive been married to a scottish person, so i dont like them, and maybe they dont like me and they dont like me, but so am i. Am i afraid of this . I mean , the problem with religion mean, the problem with religion is at some point they go after the jews and you want to get them when theyre not going after the jews. The time theyre not going after the jews is right towards the end of the thing. But at the moment its atheists that are going after jews because, you know, theyre the ones marching right, right towards the end. I didnt say theyre at the end. Oh, right. The people at the end. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Well, weve got the times now with the news that more than half of young people have forgotten the lessons of World War Two. Yeah, it kind of worked that out from the anti semitism. Yeah thats quite interesting. Its, this is a study that was done on behalf of the commonwealth. I guess the commonwealth. I guess the commonwealth. I guess the commonwealth. I dont even know who you can never tell with these newspapers where studies were done. Who said it . You know were done. Who said it . You know why its important. But this is they quoted the commonwealth war graves commission. They said that people that only 58 in the uk know what d day stands for. I dont even know what d day, what is the d and d day . Is the d and d day . Dunnett. Dunnett. Dunnett. Dunnett. Yeah. What is the d and d . What is the d and d day. Why dont they change the name they call it like nazi invasion day 1944. And then people would know what it was. People would know what it. People would know what it. Remember that scene from saving private ryan . Yeah. Well, they could say private ryan day, call it that. Thats not a bad idea. Its private ryan day, d day is the worst name for this thing. But, steve, i feel like, you know, as we forget as a nation, we forget the lessons of history particularly, you know, really important ones like World War Two, were more at risk of you know. Yeah. Falling into them again. Definitely. We should remember the lessons from world war ii rather than just celebrate the days we can sit here at our age and think its ridiculous. Of course, people should want to commemorate this, but its our right to think. Its like we dont have that much detail in our head about the boer war. Just because of generation x, you can look at the gaps. The generation zs wont care as much. As much as we could sit here and go, its terrible. Its going to happen. Theyre going to stop commemorating these things. But youre right. The message, the lessons from world war ii should be remembered, which is , given be remembered, which is, given the world, things we do have students waste is the best. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. And thats what the problem with d day is. We were fighting against the germans, and the germans are now theyre the leader. They were the leaders of leader. They were the leaders of team world. They are team world. Theyre the founders of team world. And we, according to our great leader rishi sunak and the other horrible people who are in charge of everything , we have to charge of everything, we have to be nice to the germans. We should be. Its interesting the germans did so well out of World War Two because, you know, i guess the rest of the west didnt want to recreate the after world war i. They had to pay reparations and, basically bankrupted them so badly that, you know , they badly that, you know, they turned to hitler to sort of rebuild the country and become aggressive again. So, you know, the west didnt want that. So they helped they invested in germany and helped them become this economic powerhouse. This economic powerhouse. Yes. Yes. But now the germans won until until lately. And theyre not quite winning as much , but they quite winning as much, but they still want us to be part of their thing. They want us to not be part of brexit. They want us to join with germany and france and fight everybody else. And these some of these people dont want that to happen. I dont want that to happen. I dont want it to happen. Okay. Well weve got the express now and a tory mp is under fire for blaming fly tipping on immigrants. Its ridiculous. Ive travelled extensively in the developing world and its always spotlessly tidy. Steve tory mp blames immigrants without British Values for fly tipping i mean, the parts of this story make the asian hornet ones seem like sensible xenophobia. Conservative mp marco longhi told his separate they put it in here separately, told his staff not to deal with asylum seekers, then into the next bit of the fact, now says the immigration is having an Environmental Impact in dudley. Theyre causing fly tipping. I mean, maybe they are. Maybe they arent. Fly tipping already existed and he does this long thread he posted on the birmingham live website saying that saint thomas ward is the most littered and fly tipped area in dudley. Tallest dwarf issue there, i imagine , however, issue there, i imagine, however, this was not always the case. A few decades ago, people had pride in the area. Whats changed . Someone else posted like the £122 million cut for dudleys budget. So there are many factors going off here. You cant just pin it on like, oh, more people have turned up and now this place is a mess. Yeah, well, and also hes saying its people with their different values, lewis. You know, values that i guess in britain we tend to, you know, put litter in the bin rather than dump lots of fridges down an alley in birmingham. Back in the day they didnt have litter in this country. There wasnt anything you couldnt go to a restaurant and eat. There was nothing to eat. The truth is, the only reason this is actually a truth, a true thing which is people who do fly tip probably are immigrants because theyre the people who are working. Youre trying to get an english person to pick up your rubbish. Its not going to happen. Okay. Okay. Well, thats you cant argue with that logic. Weve got the telegraph now with a job advert looking for a criminal. Is this just a very lazy police sting operation . Operation . This is very theatre. Seeks chief executive from from criminal class or underclass in job advert. And this is. Its a camdens peoples theatre. What they what theyre looking for a new chief executive. Theyre looking for someone who has. Who wants to encourage applications from individuals without a formal education or who identify as working class , benefit class, as working class, benefit class, criminal class under class, and, its just, its i criminal class under class, and, itsjust, its i read this criminal class under class, and, its just, its i read this and i was, i was against it completely because im a im on gb news. But then again, i saw that they were they were open to jewish. Well, you just have to go in next something if you just do some shoplifting. Lewis, then id have two more categories. Id have two categories. Id have two categories. If you did shoplifting, no one would catch you or press charges. You wouldnt technically be a criminal, you might want to do some other crimes, because we all know posh people never do crimes. Its not like theres any kind of tax evasion. Thats why posh people are so great. Yeah. Yeah. So there theres only the criminal class that does crimes, apparently, which is going to be shocking to some people. No, it is offensive. As someone from a working class background, i dont think its the same as criminal class. Youre working class . Youre working class . Yeah. Somebody checked my laptop. Yeah, im from mansfield. Yeah, im from mansfield. Ive probably got your laptop. What does that mean . There are no more working class than you. Im even scottish. Im even scottish. Thats. Im scottish. Thats. Im scottish. Not only that, i had to come to london. I had to come to england to find out. Im working class in scotland. I thought i was middle class. Yeah, yeah. Theni was middle class. Yeah, yeah. Then i came down here. Everybodys using cutlery. Anyway, thats it for part three. But stay with us for the final section where well have donald trump the movie, and the police find a man over his welcome back to headliners. Weve got the guardian now with a film about donald trump. If you cant wait for it to come out, i guess you could just watch the news. Steve. Yeah. Trump movie the apprentice. Good title. I dont apprentice. Good title. I dont think its a movie he would dislike, says director. Think its a movie he would dislike, says director. Might have a good point here. Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival about this controversy. New film about this controversy. New film deliberately done so, i suppose. Of course its going to get talked about, especially as its happening during the Trump Campaign and the trump court cases, people from the Trump Campaign said it belongs in a dumpster fire. This film sounded bonng dumpster fire. This film sounded boring enough until the trump people went in on it saying , people went in on it saying, its ridiculous, hes going to sue, and i think im going to watch it now. Hes more fun. But in it, in the apprentice, the protagonist had a bully, a liar, a con man and a rapist. He, rejects his sick brother and, well, its just the life and times of things that have been accused. Although the accusation of rape was was retracted by his first wife, although theres a bit in the film where hes told hes given advice by his mentor. Attack at all times, deny everything, never, ever admit defeat. Thats great advice. Lewis seems to fit, isnt it . Well, its worked for him and you know what . He. I agree with you. He got all excited when people started attacking the film and he started attacking the film and thats what he wants. He just he all donald trump wants to summon to Pay Attention to him. Hes like me. Im you know, i just want people to Pay Attention to me. I dont have anything. Could i just say we did spend the entire break with lewis saying, why arent you talking to me . Why are you looking at, look, why are yadda . Yeah, this is better. The people are watching this. If you get a two shot on this, this is far more interesting. Well, lewis, i mean, if you want attention, if you want attention in about, you know, 40 years time, youll be old enough to run for president , the metro to run for president , the metro known a crime victim was found by the Russian Police because they didnt like his haircut. But itll make sense when you hear what his haircut was. Lewis . Yes. Lewis . Yes. This guy, this dude. His name is stanislav. This is in the metro. Stanislav nemchinov. And metro. Stanislav nemchinov. And he was 25 years old in moscow. It is not. it is not. Thank you for looking at me. Its not even like local news. He goes into a Police Station in moscow to report his phones being stolen. And it led to. You just get ignored or you have to wait for 1000 hours. Yeah, or you get arrested for tweeting a limerick about the scene as transphobic. Or you get, you know, arrested for being openly jewish. Thank you. So he he was basically he was fined because his hair was was orange , was yellow blue and orange, was yellow blue and yellow, blue and yellow, which is the colours of the war, the enemy of the people that the russians are fighting. Well, not the people, not the not the russian people, but the enemy of putin. We dont know that. No, i think the i think the people dont like the they dont like them either. I guess a lot of them either. I guess a lot of the people. What do you think theyre just doing it on their own. Is that what youre thinking . Yeah. Youre missed. Youre missed the ukraine. Yeah. Im mr ukraine and for the sake of the show, im mr, mr russia. Russia. Okay, well good luck with that. I feel sorry for the guy because i looked at the pictures and yep, theres blue. Yep. Theres yellow running. So hes green. Hes just got a colourful head and yet theyve just focused on two and going how very dare you. And getting arrested for it. And also in the story he says hes had his hair dyed like that since like 2017, right . Oh, you picked a wrong time to get your phone nicked. Yeah. They they find him. Hes just been mugged. The one time he cant pay the fine is when hes not got his wallet on him. And tell him how much the fine is. Its unbelievable. £435. £435. Thats a fortune in that country. Yeah, its a fortune here, too. Weve got the telegraph now with evidence that the dalai lama and Louis Schaefer are the same person. Same person. Same person. Steve, ive never seen them in the same room at the same time. Good point. Dalai lama told cameraman. I wont do the accent. Youre fat. You need to accent. Youre fat. You need to go on a diet. This is according to channel 4 news, cathy newman was on a podcast and she said, i met the dalai lama. And at the end of the interview, he said to a cameraman, does he say his name, graham, she says, who sadly died not many years afterwards , that he was very afterwards, that he was very fat. Well, maybe he should have lost some weight. Maybe this wasnt the dalai lama doing a dig. Yeah, its in touch with god or something. Hes well, not god. You can see the future. You can see the diabetes. He was saying, lay off the pies a bit. Try, get yourself some salads in there. And then she says, cathy newman says , i thought it cathy newman says, i thought it was hilarious. Oh, so fat shaming is okay now is it, cathy . Oh, thats very interesting. Yeah. The fact is, is that. Dont be fat, lose weight. I know, i dont know whether i seem thin or not, but ive lost like six. I lost £60 and i feel i feel better. And thats the way to not get diabetes. So you approve of the dalai lama message . Lets quickly squeeze this one in the independent now with the terrifying news that an area of internet the size of wales is lost every two weeks. Louis. Yes, its. This is a thing that was in. It doesnt like all these newspaper common crawl. The do do research. This is an american thing. Says the 25 of all, internet pages are lost within ten years. According to this, at least. And so if you think things are going to stick around forever, my all my career, my, all my tv appearances have been like, basically cut off all my main shows on nbc and cbs. Shows on nbc and cbs. Im sure theres like, preserved in a vault somewhere for humanity. I dont think so. I was making a joke. Okay, this story just says the reason they found that the links dont work is it was crawled by a thing that archives the internet. So were not losing the internet. Its already been archived. Its just when it gets checked again later, the links dont go anywhere. Oh, so the original isnt working, but they are archived somewhere. So if you want to go and find lewiss stand up. In fact, yeah, your stand up is amazing. I recommend going, going and finding it wherever you can, very much like myspace or whatever it was put on. Anyway, the show is nearly over, so lets take another quick look at wednesdays front pages. The daily mail has nightmare at 37,000ft. The telegraph has. Ive lost my hands and feet to sepsis, says mp. The guardian leads with alarm over big increase in under 40s with diabetes. The times has make fewer arrests to help jails. Police told the i has brit charged with spying for china found dead in maidenhead park and the daily star has rats. An and the daily star has rats. An apology and those were front pages and thats all we have time for. Thank you to my guest, Steve N Allen and lewis schaffer, and were back tomorrow at 11 pm. When simon evans will be joined by nick dixon and josh howie. And if youre watching at 5 am, stay tuned for breakfast. But until then, goodbye. Then, goodbye. That warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. Hello. Good evening. Welcome to your latest gb news weather update. Its going to be another cooler day on wednesday with some very heavy and persistent rain for some of us. We do have weather warnings in force for a large swathe of the uk throughout wednesday. Thats as this weather front approaches from the south and east, wrapped around an area of low pressure through this evening. So some very heavy rain to come through this evening across southeastern areas of england in particular. We could also see some thunderstorms for the first few hours of this evening across the west as well. But that rain will become more confined to the east coast just throughout tonight. Coast just throughout tonight. It will turn a little bit drier elsewhere, but there will be a lot of cloud around by tomorrow morning, so it will be another fairly mild start to the day. But some drizzly rain will start to affect parts of the east coast, just as that weather front starts to approach, the east coast of scotland could see quite a lot of low cloud around, but the north west of scotland could see some brightness first thing, but that rain will arrive later on in the day across northern ireland. Some showery rain, but its not expected to be as heavy as it has been through today, but its across parts of north wales, the midlands, North Eastern england in particular, where the rain will be the heaviest first thing and that will continue to persist throughout the day. So as the day goes on, i think any impacts from the rain will become more likely as more weather warnings come into force. As that rain pushes up into scotland , weve got another into scotland, weve got another weather warning in force for scotland. We could see up to 100mm, perhaps more, fall over the 24 hours between wednesday and thursday, particularly across parts of north wales into Northern Areas of england. So that could bring some major travel disruption. And temperatures are going to be disappointing for the time of yean disappointing for the time of year, with plenty of cloud around rain continues into thursday, particularly across the north and west. Its thursday, particularly across the north and west. Its this north area of wales where theres the most potential for some disruptive heavy rain, but it will turn more showery as the day goes on, and across the south it will start to turn a little bit brighter by the afternoon. A mix of showers as we head towards friday, and by saturday a chance of some sunshine and temperatures climbing towards 20 degrees. Looks like things are heating up.
