out to get rid of his out his to get rid of his support for israel. they're basically the that wants basically the party that wants the jews to die. can i ask pretty they are? pretty much what they are? >> i well, i mean, i'm >> well, can i well, i mean, i'm sure would deny that, but sure they would deny that, but can that? nick can i ask you about that? nick because lot of because biden's getting a lot of flak are saying flak from people who are saying he's . we have the he's too pro—israel. we have the same labour same thing with labour politicians of politicians in this country. of course, we're actually getting threats for not calling for a ceasefire. do think that ceasefire. do you think that could that really could be the thing that really scuppers i i scuppers him? no, i don't i think enough to think it's enough people to really yeah, really scupper him. but yeah, it's left , they it's impossible. the left, they can left enough a can never be left enough for a certain left. we can never be left enough for a certai this, left. we can never be left enough for a certaithis, but left. we can never be left enough for a certaithis, but then left. we can never be left enough for a certaithis, but then he'sft. we can never be left enough for a certai this, but then he's alsoa know this, but then he's also going alienate people going to alienate other people if so yeah, if he goes anti—israel. so yeah, he can't can't win that he can't win. he can't win that one. necessarily the one. i don't necessarily the main population main issue, the population of the that are the us that are that are promoting economy a promoting this, the economy is a much . you know, much bigger issue. you know, trump's looks like much bigger issue. you know, trump'might looks like much bigger issue. you know, trump'might win looks like much bigger issue. you know, trump'might win a looks like much bigger issue. you know, trump'might win a lot ks like much bigger issue. you know, trump'might win a lot ks the trump might win a lot of the black they're just black vote because they're just saying, the economy way saying, well, the economy is way better. latino better. and he's winning latino votes, which he's never had before, black and latino votes. so to a big so that's going to make a big difference democrats difference unless the democrats can import enough illegal immigrants, of course. but basically, i think the economy is bigger issue is going to be much bigger issue than is an than israel, though it is an issue pointed and issue as you pointed out. and he's of flawless he's also run a kind of flawless campaign. think about it, campaign. if you think about it, trump's and trump's just got bigger and

bigger other bigger this campaign. the other person vivek. person that did well was vivek. and argue haley has and you could argue haley has increased though and you could argue haley has irdon'ted though and you could argue haley has irdon'ted actually»ugh and you could argue haley has irdon'ted actually likes i don't know who actually likes her. all the rest of her. but then all the rest of them, christie and all her. but then all the rest of them,people hristie and all her. but then all the rest of them,people are tie and all her. but then all the rest of them,people are justnd all those people are just so forgettable. obviously and forgettable. and obviously and obviously he obviously desantis went lost. he lost face. >> so trump supporters also want the anti—abortion element of to be put in the constitution. yeah, they don't just want a law. they want constitutional law. >> well, not all trump supporters, that's a certain side of it. supporters, that's a certain sid

mail. more and more people going private for health care. nick. yes, the great rush go yes, the great rush to go private number brits ditching private number of brits ditching nhs all time as nhs soars to all time high as ailing hospitals battle eternal winter. get ready for eternal winter. get ready for eternal winter. it does feel like that in this country. isn't that like game of thrones? yeah yeah. >> winter's coming. >> winter's coming. >> eternal, it >> well, no. if it's eternal, it wouldn't would wouldn't be coming. it would just wouldn't just always be here, wouldn't it? right. it it? was there. right. but it will guardian that will save the guardian that headune will save the guardian that headline nhs headline every year of nhs crisis because it's crisis this winter because it's every there's every winter anyway. so there's a on the previous record a 7% jump on the previous record of seeking private of people seeking private health. it's 664,000. in the first nine months of 2023. and one shocking factor is that we're 15 years behind countries in terms of cancer survival rates, in terms of other sort of similar comparable countries , similar comparable countries, which is absolutely shocking. and the biggest increase here is actually business health care plans. it's people realising our employees are going to need something because we're like america so got to america now. so you've got to have plan. and have a health care plan. and that's it's coming that's where most of it's coming from. self—funded from. where self—funded admissions things bum admissions of things like bum lifts down lifts have actually gone down because are going to because people are going to other. this is in the article to

other. this is in the article to other countries. so not other countries. so it's not actually self—funding actually people self—funding so much you're much as businesses saying you're going to need some sort of plan as incentive. there as an incentive. i mean, there are aren't they, are advantages, aren't they, to going private, but there are also very clear disadvantages. money, mean , this is really money, i mean, this is really about, know, people can about, you know, people who can afford about, you know, people who can afforican't negatively. i'm >> i can't speak negatively. i'm seeing and. seeing my doctor tomorrow and. right, talk about right, we're going to talk about my health plans. so i my future health plans. so i think this works pretty well actually. >> people massive hypochondriacs need health so i'm need private health care. so i'm not going to say we i'll say we so we can get scans like immediately the next day. otherwise go mental. can immediately the next day. csaywise go mental. can immediately the next day. csay ones go mental. can immediately the next day. csay one moreio mental. can immediately the next day. csay one more cutiental. can immediately the next day. csay one more cutientiwaiting an immediately the next day. csay one more cutientiwaiting .n i say one more cut the waiting. the waiting is absolutely appalling.mean, it's 7.6 waiting. i mean, it's 7.6 million now in the nhs queue. and can i just one more and can i just say one more thing? just on the and can i just say one more thinthat, just on the and can i just say one more thinthat, jeremy just on the and can i just say one more thinthat, jeremy hunt on the and can i just say one more thinthat, jeremy hunt described day that, jeremy hunt described the biggest the nhs as the biggest reason most to be most people are proud to be british. really a socialist, failing system is failing health care system is the biggest reason. well, you say shakespeare, the empire , it say shakespeare, the empire, it was anything else. >> i think the nhs is british is britain's proudest moment, think. >> but you're not even english, aren't even british? why are you even here? they saved your life. let me your visa . what is this? >> no, i'm italian their

>> no, i'm italian and their health is health care system is. is comparable, but not as good. i think pretty well here. think it works pretty well here. if given the chance. if if given the chance. and if funded properly. >> on. are you even >> well. hang on. are you even british? no one's british here. so, are british? i because so, are you british? i because i'm. i want to know who's actually of the nhs actually the proudest of the nhs as i'm as a british person. i'm certainly i do certainly not. are you? i do support i think it's support the nhs. i think it's great. is it the thing you're most proud of? it's not the thing most proud. i think thing i'm most proud. i think shakespeare would beat it. but i think is that idea think the point is that the idea that who's that someone who's on the poverty get poverty line can go and get treatment for free is a thing to be i the idea, be proud of. i think the idea, yeah, yeah , the concept is great. >> you know, i came over >> you know, i first came over here, hurt myself and i was here, i hurt myself and i was living in greenwich, and i walked to walked down the street to the nhs and they repaired everything, for id nhs and they repaired evergave g, for id nhs and they repaired evergave me for id nhs and they repaired evergave me medication id nhs and they repaired evergave me medication andid nhs and they repaired evergave me medication and it and gave me medication and it was all free. >> yeah. and as an american, that i was that would be shocking. i was really. shocked. yeah, really. i'm still shocked. yeah, yeah. on to yeah. okay, let's move on now to a story about drones going to take police . i mean, take over our police. i mean, that's a bit robocop, is that right? >> well, it is, yeah. and it's strange. it seems it seems predictive by cinema from 20 years ago, but it's actually happening drones will be

happening that drones will be sent out for 999 calls instead of to speed up of police officers to speed up response times. and this is particularly for things like , particularly for things like, theft and robbery, not for violent crime. >> yeah , but what would they do? >> yeah, but what would they do? like, so the drones fly in and i guess they've got their lights and they're pretty scary. >> do when >> what did they do when my husband was mugged beaten in husband was mugged and beaten in front two front of our building, two police they police officers came along. they took they wrote took all the details. they wrote them left. and then them down, they left. and then two later, they told two months later, they told my husband fault he husband it was his fault that he that he solicited the violence. so i think drone could so i think a drone could probably that. and the probably manage that. and the drones, them with lasers. >> they going @—- >> are they going to kill them instantly it's kind instantly? they taser. it's kind of them. of like incapacitates them. yeah. no , i'm making yeah. they do, no, i'm making that but but but would that up. but but but that would actually of actually be effective. some of the china during the drones in china during lockdown they lockdown in shanghai, they buzzed and said, give up buzzed around and said, give up your thirst for freedom. wow. they that. could , they could do that. they could, like, give up thirst to like, give up your thirst to live country or live in a safe country or something no, what something like that. no, what they could say, they could do is they could say, put down. have put the weapon down. you have 20s that in 20s to comply like that guy in robocop. would i robocop. that would work. i think pretty scary. think they can be pretty scary. drones. very quickly, drones. they move very quickly, you is the you know. oh yeah. this is the future dystopian future of future as a dystopian future of london. utopia in
