the political temperature deeds to all pennsylvanians . to all pennsylvanians. >> my message to all americans is to be firm in your beliefs, to believe what you believe, to advocate for what you believe, and to be engaged in the political and civic process, but to always do so peacefully . to to always do so peacefully. to remember that while we may be democrats or republicans, above all else, we are americans . all else, we are americans. >> well, the fbi has now confirmed the alleged gunman, thomas matthew crooks, was shot at the scene. donald trump's wife, melania, has branded the 20 year old a monster. we now know he was a registered republican who had also donated to a democrat supporting organisation, though his motive at this stage remains unclear. we're expecting to hear from president joe biden live from the white house following last night's attack. we'll bring that to you live when we get it. until then, here's joe biden earlier addressing the attempted assassination of his political opponent. >> there's no place in america

for this kind of violence. it's sick. it's sick at. the bottom line is that the trump rally was a rally that he should have been able to be conducted peacefully without any problem. but the idea, the idea that there's political violence or violence in america like this is just unheard of. it's just not appropriate. we everybody , appropriate. we everybody, everybody must condemn it. >> well , here, prime everybody must condemn it. >> well, here, prime minister sir keir starmer is among world leaders who've condemned last night's attack. he says he was appalled at the news in the us. vice president kamala harris says she's relieved that trump is not seriously injured and billionaire elon musk says he will continue to fully endorse the former president and hopes for his speedy recovery and reform. uk leader nigel farage has said trump's assassination attempt is another example of what he is calling liberal intolerance. >> you left liberal elite have this sort of form of intellectual superiority where they believe they're better

human beings than those on the centre right , human beings than those on the centre right, and that is what's run through media education. and thatis run through media education. and that is at the heart of this problem , liberal intolerance. problem, liberal intolerance. and i did say to him, if i hadnt and i did say to him, if i hadn't been elected to parliament, i'd be with him this weekend . so i would have been at weekend. so i would have been at that rally, if i, if i decided to not stand for parliament. but i've now decided, tom, in the light of what's happened, that i will fly out to america this week, i will go and see my friend and i'll do it. you know, i'll listen to his acceptance speech at the convention on thursday, and i'll do it. not just as a friend, but i'll do it because we have to for stand up democracy. we have to stand up for people to be able to campaign. if we don't, we're absolutely sunk. >> nigel farage there, speaking to us earlier regarding the incident in pennsylvania last night. well, here at home, the mother of missing teenager jay slater says she is aware of vile conspiracy theories surrounding her son's disappearance. debbie duncan's released a statement as

it now approaches. a month since the 19 year old went missing on the 19 year old went missing on the island of tenerife. he was last heard from on the 17th of june. he told a friend he'd missed a bus. he was lost and had cut his leg. excuse me.7 and finally, because the football is so exciting, a first major men's football title almost six decadesin football title almost six decades in the making is within england's grasp in tonight's euro 2024 final standing in their way, a spain side who have won every game they've played in the tournament so far. these are the tournament so far. these are the live scenes in berlin, where thousands of fans are now gathering outside the stadium, waiting for that unprecedented what could be an unprecedented moment , a what could be an unprecedented moment, a moment of a lifetime ahead of the big game, sir keir starmer has praised england's footballers , saying they've made footballers, saying they've made the country proud and in a letter to gareth southgate and the team, the prime minister emphasised their graft and hard work, wishing them the very

best. gareth southgate and his players. as i say they are hoping to win england's first trophy since 1966. >> i'm not a believer in fairy tales, but i am a believer in dreams and, we've had big dreams, we've felt the need and the importance of that. but then, you know, you have to make those things happen . those things happen. >> those are the latest gb news headlines. for now. i'm sam francis . up next it's back to francis. up next it's back to steve and free speech nation for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . forward slash alerts. >> welcome to free speech nation. i'm stephen allen sitting in today. my comedian guest this evening are leo kearse and louis schaffer. two

people who also don't care about football or you'd rather invoice than watch football. >> i love football, but but i love money. yeah. >> fair enough . and he doesn't >> fair enough. and he doesn't believe in fairy tales. he doesn't believe in dreams . what doesn't believe in dreams. what happens if you dream a fairy tale.7 he's got himself on the horns of a dilemma there. >> only leo, i don't know, but yeah, i don't really like football. i just like proper sports. like, you know, the one where you slide a rock across the mice. oh, yeah. scotland is good at. yeah >> curling. sweet. well, let's get some questions from our audience . our first question is audience. our first question is from john. where's john? good evening. >> our first question is straight off the top of the news. what does the attempted trump assassination tell us about the state of free speech? >> what does the attempted trump assassination tell us about the state of free speech? well, 10% of americans support violence to stop trump's re—election, according to a study that was carried out back in june by professor of terror terrorism at the university of chicago. louis, i'll turn to you. what have your thoughts been on the

implications for free speech, >> i don't know if this is like a free speech issue. they've always been killing people in america. they kill people everywhere. this has nothing to do with free speech. it is. it has been baited . what the has been baited. what the problem is, the problem is, is that there's we haven't divided the country into two teams completely yet. so there's people in the middle who are they're confused about the assassination attempt. so when it happened, they said this is inappropriate , but there are inappropriate, but there are quite a few people like that. at least 10% on one side are going, yeah, go for it. it deserves to be done. yeah. well it's interesting, there's 10% of the american public support, political violence or violence to stop donald trump being re—elected. >> so there's obviously not any republicans in that. so really it's a quarter of democrats. i mean, at least a quarter of democrats think it's okay to use use violence. and what's interesting is the democrats always say, oh, the far right. the far right are so violent,

far right violence. they're so mean and nasty and violent. you know, they're always talking about the far right being violent, but we hardly ever see any far right violence. we saw months and months and months of antifa and blm riots. and then there was one. there was one riot, the january sixth protest. and that's, you know , been blown and that's, you know, been blown into this. i mean, it was basically a stag do that got out of hand, but it's been blown into this, you know, huge epoch defining attempt to bring down the government, even though, you know, it was little old ladies with flags and you know, guys with flags and you know, guys with jamiroquai hats against the biggest, you know, military or. no, there was no way it was a serious attempt at a coup. i mean, america's got a lot of experience in coups, and they always involve tanks and helicopter gunships and things like that. so. so this, this wasn't that. and even after that, they're talking about stochastic terrorism, which is when they say that the right sort of demonise a group or demonise a person, that makes it more likely that that person is going to get hurt or that group

is going to get hurt. what have they been doing to trump? they've for the last few years, they've been demonising trump, a quarter of them think it's okay to kill trump to stop him becoming president. so now we're seeing the you know, the left are everything they accuse the right of. but that's this is a temporary phenomenon. >> this thing there's been right wing violence that's been going on for years. it's the same thing. what's interesting about this is when i was a kid growing up in new york and, and i remember thinking about the nazis and thinking, if hitler was here, i would kill the guy. we're always thinking we were. everybody was thinking of that. i was. i everybody was thinking of that. iwas. i shouldn't everybody was thinking of that. i was. i shouldn't maybe say that i was thinking of that, but i was thinking you was thinking, i'm going to kill hitler. if hitler were here. i remember thinking about the russians flying over great neck, and they. what would you do if the russians. so basically, i agree with, with leo because, i mean, he's bigger than, you know, that's horrible. that that horrible guy, joe biden . sorry. horrible guy, joe biden. sorry. you hate to say it because he's losing it, but, he's basically

promoted this thing . and i think promoted this thing. and i think they're thinking if we kill the top guy , then the whole house, top guy, then the whole house, nobody will follow. >> okay, well, let's move on to our next question, which comes from mike. what have you got for us? mike? hi steve. >> is it, is it is it is it going to happen that we need to increase the safety of our politicians in britain? do we need to increase the safety of our policies? >> interesting. you know, should we increase the safety of the politicians in britain? following on from what we've seen in many things, we tend to copy america. some st giles' obesity. is this another thing that we might be following on from? >> yeah. and i don't think we even need to look at america to see that we need to increase the safety of our politicians. i mean, if you look at, david amess jo cox. mike freer, there have been a number of people that have dropped out recently from politics because of death threats and because of actual violence against them. mike freers offices were were firebombed, and a lot of these threats are coming from one

particular section of society. i'm not going to mention, because i don't want to get death threats either. but surely you already do know i already get enough. but, but yeah, i think , you know, we either need think, you know, we either need to look at this whole we've got this whole idea and we've had this whole idea and we've had this for a while now that, oh, diversity is an enormous strength, when in fact, if you look at the evidence of lebanon, of the balkans, of many places around the world, diversity frequently leads to sectarian strife, particularly when it's not managed well, when people aren't integrated and people don't, you know, abide and sign up to a common set of values. >> it's not just that, though. i think there is something in the fact that our politics now which probably should be ideally about policies is about who do you hate the most? and there's a there's an economy in there, isn't there. like newspapers work by saying who do you hate? well, i'll sell you a copy of my newspaper and it'll make you feel right for how upset and angry you are. instead of being based on like, facts, it's about

emotions. and this ends up being the end game of that, doesn't it? if you're going to make it just on who do you hate the most? >> violence eventually follows, but i don't think that's that's the case. and i don't think that's, you know, if that is the case, i don't think it's increased or changed since the, you know, the politics has always been pretty binary in this country because the two party system and everybody that i know that was voting reform, which was pretty much everybody to be honest, was voting reform out of positivity. you know, they saw policies that they they wanted to be enacted and they thought would save this country. >> and they had nothing bad to say about starmer and a roll of eyes and go, well, that's just labour for you. >> well, yeah, i mean, obviously people, people, people are like, well yeah, labour are just more of the same. but nobody was like labour or more, more of the same. and i hate them and i want to crush their bones into the ground. >> do you reckon we need to worry about our security over here? >> i think you always do, i think, and more and more, because it's so easy. much easier to kill people. back in the day, you couldn't get a gun. i've tried, but you couldn't get

a gun. and now people can get guns. and we're in a we're in a state of war. i say this every single time. i was the first person to say it. we're we're we're like a peacetime war. i've said it years ago is that there's a war between between there's a war between between the british nation state and europe, between europe and russia. you've got the you know, the islamic peoples coming up and wanting a piece of everything. and people are being mixed in through open immigration policies. so it's a mess. i don't know what you can do about it. i don't know. >> what was really funny was that when jess phillips, because a lot of labour candidates got a lot of hate from, from, muslim groups who, who were campaigning primarily on the issue of gaza and, and a few, you know, top labour people at jess phillips and wes streeting nearly got unseated, like wes streeting only won by, i think, 528 votes, down from a majority of over 10,000. jess phillips as well. so a majority of over 10,000 come all the way down to just the hundreds. and jess phillips had this all this really harsh harassment and abuse, a tire slashed and her campaigners cars. and then when she and she

was heckled when she accepted the, accepted the vote count and then afterwards she, she said, this this is nothing to do with sectarianism. this is nothing to do with islamism. this is this is because of men . like finding is because of men. like finding the one segment in society you're allowed to blame things on. it's like whether christian men in that group of men shouting abuse were the jewish men were there zoroastrian men? no, i don't think so. yeah, it was. >> you're being so ridiculous because you're saying if there were no es, you know, this islamic situation going on right now , we'd have peace. the fact now, we'd have peace. the fact is, the entire world is at war right now. if. no. >> but that's a nonsense, because i mean, look at look at lebanon. it was a it was a prosperous, stable country when it was a majority christian country. >> and times change and things do change. yeah. i'm not saying i'm not saying that having having millions of people come in who might hate, hate with you is not good, is not peace. but we it's like what's happening in america. there's a revolution ,

america. there's a revolution, 6, america. there's a revolution, a, you know, a civil war coming. and it's not a muslim. i mean, that's involved. you just have to take responsibility that we go through periods of war and people start killing each other, and you can't say, oh, if we get rid of these people, we'll be in peace, because sometimes you just have war. >> we'll move on to the next question. but i like the fact that you predicted the current problems 25 years ago. if you just if you just wait long enough, eventually you'll be right. that's well, you know what? >> people don't see it. but every 20, 30 years, there's a major war. sometimes it takes a bit longer. >> it's like the quote they had about vince cable. he correctly predicted eight of the last two recessions, our next question is from gavin. what have you got for us? yeah. >> good evening. this is probably more for lewis than anybody else. oh, there you go. yeah, i don't know how well you know this person, but, do you think george clooney should be involved in the presidential election? >> well, it's very interesting. >> well, it's very interesting. >> let me reset this up, george clooney, because he authored an 0p clooney, because he authored an op ed in the new york times last week that called for biden to go. >> clooney had said that he had

seen biden at a democratic fundraiser in la, and he said it wasn't the same man he means like metaphorically. or maybe it means it's not the same man. there's stuff online about that that he's been cloned or something. so now we've got all the conspiracy theories out there. now we can go to you, lewis. >> well, thank you for thank you very much for that, the truth is, i made a movie with george clooney, and, without coffee, i don't i don't remember where i was. i was in a big arena at a big posh university out in gloucestershire or something, and it was quite. it was quite good. and i never he was dressed. i don't want to say anything bad about the way the guy looked in real life, but lewis shafer, let's be honest, looks amazing, but what is what was the question? >> is he dressed as batman at the time? >> that's the kind of film i think you should have been in. were you? >> were you robin? >> were you robin? >> he was dressed like he was dressed like a guy. he's basically my age or a bit youngen basically my age or a bit younger, but, but he was dressed, wearing, like, american style blue jeans. it was sad. >> anyway, so that's the question, though. do you think he should get involved in, like, he should get involved in, like, he should get involved in, like, he should stand? >> he's younger than biden. >> he's younger than biden. >> yeah, he is younger and i

think people might like him. his team would like him. that's the problem with biden. biden's biden's lost it, but his belief system is followed by at least possibly half of the population of britain, of america. so and, you know, they just need somebody else in there to, to get those votes after people forget how horrible they were to donald trump. so i would say i would i the president doesn't do anything as much as you think he does. >> so clooney would be good for that. >> well, what i found interesting about the clooney op ed was he came out and said, yeah, the fundraiser. biden wasn't the man. he was, you know, even even a couple of years ago, which shows, you know, clooney said he's got he's suffering from horrific cognitive decline . but we've cognitive decline. but we've just had months and months and months of all the fact checkers saying, oh, this is all a far right conspiracy theory. there's nothing wrong with biden or this has been selectively edited. this is a cheap fake. this is, you know, you're being deceived to you're being tricked to

imagine that biden is losing his marbles, which is obviously nonsense. and we knew it. nobody trust fact checkers anymore. but it's great that now that now clooney has come out and said this and it's like, now are all those fact checkers going to come out and fact check themselves and say, actually, we were talking absolute nonsense. >> now they're going to they're waiting for the script to come in from obama. >> which of the two obamas, though ? that's the question. we though? that's the question. we will talk more on that topic later in the show with an author who's written extensively about that. so find out more. but our final question for the moment is from jane. >> all right. thanks, mate. >> all right. thanks, mate. >> right. i'd like to ask, should you be sacked for ripping up books? >> this is not specifically about me. this is about waterstones . a book influencer waterstones. a book influencer was sacked by claiming that she would enjoy tearing up a book of a gender critical author. this is tillie fitzgerald , who had is tillie fitzgerald, who had built up a 90,000 strong online following, and then she was sacked by waterstones after stating online in a post that she would enjoy tearing up the books of gender critical author,

is this the way of all things? now this is , you know, the now this is, you know, the culture wars are over. they ain't, are they? >> yeah. well, i mean, this this isn't so much culture wars. it's just not abiding by your firm's social media policy, which i admit, i don't abide by gb news one either. so, you know, i'm not i'm not one to, you know, throw the first stone or anything, but i think, you know this tillie fitzgerald, tillie loves books. she posts us on social media. she's obviously in an echo chamber where all she hears is this, you know, pro trans, you know, sterilising and drugging and maiming children is saving them somehow. i'm not entirely sure how that works, but this is all she hears. and anybody who tries to stop it is some evil bigot who's trying to stop these children , you know, stop these children, you know, fulfilling their dreams of being incredibly upset adults. so it just shows that, you know, she's she's in this echo chamber when she's in this echo chamber when she's then stepped outside her echo chamber and projected her views to the world, they're not acceptable to everybody. >> yeah, this is a bookshop. saks person who's meant to plug books for saying wants to

destroy books. should we be surprised? >> it was like it was like at my synagogue, they had a woman working in the in the office there who hated jews. i mean, it was a bit it was a, well, just you. i just made that up. that's not a true story, but but that's the sort of thing, is it? is that she believes something. i mean, a lot of the people here don't know what gender the term gender critical means. i hope they don't know because i had to google it myself. and every time ihear google it myself. and every time i hear it, i got to figure, is that good or bad? is that on our team or not on our team? is that people? you shouldn't say that. the people you're you're trying to help make money that you don't support their job. that's bad. bad. if you're an employee, i would not suggest that. well next on free speech nation will be debating whether the political discourse in the us is to blame for the assassination attempts on former president donald trump. >> don't go away.

welcome back. political violence has returned to america. donald trump shot during an attempted assassination at a rally in pennsylvania. here is the moment shots rang through the rally and trump was quickly yet defiantly pulled off stage by secret service. >> if you want to really see something that said, take a look at what happened over. >> trump, now released from hospital and at home, is said to be doing well in a statement, he said he felt the bullet ripped through his ear and that it's more important than ever that we stand united, adding that we will fear not. well, joining me now is the chair of republican overseas , greg swenson, who is overseas, greg swenson, who is in milwaukee for the republican national convention and us political analyst and democrat supporter. nomiki konst joins

us. greg, i'll turn to you first. is this a symptom of the state of political discourse in us? >> well , steve, it's a great >> well, steve, it's a great question. i think so, but i can't say it with 100% confidence because we just don't know enough about the gunman who attempted to assassinate president trump. so. but but i'd have to say it feels that way. it feels that the, the rhetoric has gotten elevated to a point where it could get dangerous, you know, using language like , you know, using language like, you know, using language like, you know, using language like, you know, we have to put a bull's eye on trump that came from biden. you know, we must stop trump. trump is a, you know, a dictator or he's a, you know, a dictator or he's a, you know , a he looks like hitler or know, a he looks like hitler or he acts like hitler . you know, he acts like hitler. you know, these things are are probably not a good idea in a, in a, an environment that's already elevated is the problem that it seems to work. >> it's too successful politically , politically to have politically, politically to have the angry argument rather than the angry argument rather than the facts based or the, the policy based. one. >> yeah, i think there's definitely merit to that , steve.

definitely merit to that, steve. and i think, you know, we i'd like to focus on policies and decisions and outcomes rather than, you know, personal hatred. and there's surely plenty of that. and perhaps on both sides, i wouldn't argue that, you know, there isn't some of that on the right, but but i think that, you know, this, this election has been the election of personalities or, you know, personalities or, you know, personal anger as opposed to talking about, you know, again , talking about, you know, again, issues and outcomes. the american people prior to yesterday cared about the open border and inflation and, and bad foreign policy decisions. they, they they don't really care. you know, for comparisons to, to dictators . so i think to, to dictators. so i think that i would like i would hope that i would like i would hope that this will bring the temperature down, maybe get away from some of the hateful rhetoric and start focusing on on policies. and if you disagree with your opponent, that's fine. i'm sure people disagree with trump on his policies, but i'd rather stick to that . rather stick to that. >> yeah, namiki, even if i'm

just slightly caveating the question, presuming you might bnng question, presuming you might bring this up, even if the republicans have done some of this, do not democrats have to address the tone that they've used? if you want to be the adults in the room, surely you shouldn't demonise someone. because if you demonise someone, look, what can happen. >> i mean, donald trump is the manifestation, the icon, the prototype of the worst form of rhetoric. our politics has produced. so to disconnect this from trump's rhetoric and make it about both sides is not really fair. i mean, donald trump literally said, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. the republican party platform and project 20, 2025 are incredibly violent. it's a violent platform. but when you put all this mixed in with modern politics, that is very much driven by right wing leaning algorithms , extremist leaning algorithms, extremist dnven leaning algorithms, extremist driven algorithms, you have a problem. i mean, gabby giffords, when gabby giffords former congresswoman was shot, you know, 13 years ago, that was as the internet was, was was

blowing up, an extremism was rising online. there is a lot of data now that correlates the rise of extremism and misinformation and conspiracy theories with how these tech companies have been able to facilitate these incredibly unequal algorithms that are based off of hate takedowns, attacks on women, attacks on people of colour. so much so that google even fired the person who was there to investigate it. once she reported that google's algorithm was sexist and it was racist. so we have a problem in this country that has always existed, right? there's always extremism . right? there's always extremism. but now politics is being funded by online extremism, meaning the more outrageous you are, the more outrageous you are, the more likely you're going to raise money. look at marjorie taylor greene. look at lauren boebert, you know, look at donald trump . every time there donald trump. every time there is an online fight or a public fight , they're raising money, fight, they're raising money, the tweets are growing and the conspiracy theories are going up. so yes, it's a little bit of human nature, but it's amplified by this tech system that we're

just not taking on so much. so that there are prime ministers across the country who've stepped down the former leader of japan was assassinated by an onune of japan was assassinated by an online extremist. this is an onune online extremist. this is an online extreme issue . online extreme issue. >> okay. let me bring greg back in. and you can you two can discuss this between yourselves, because to address that point of effectively, donald trump is the icon of the thing. we're talking about, the rhetoric that causes problems. >> no, i mean, i think a lot of donald trump's rhetoric is impolite and unfiltered , but i impolite and unfiltered, but i don't think it's terribly hateful. and, you know , calling hateful. and, you know, calling someone again, he doesn't call biden a dictator. and tell people that biden has to have a bull's eye on them. so and look, but i don't disagree with some of this online, the activity that might foster some of this. and i think we saw that with steve scalise when he was with the attempted assassination of steve scalise, when he was shot dunng steve scalise, when he was shot during a republican baseball game back in back in 2017 by a bernie sanders supporter. you know , i don't know, you know,

know, i don't know, you know, where both right and left gets this stuff. but but it is troubling. and i think it's something that, you know, that should be discussed for sure , mickey. >> i mean, listen, you're going to have extremists everywhere there have been since the beginning of time. i mean, this is we've had several assassination attempts and assassinations in our country's history. it'sjust assassinations in our country's history. it's just amplified now. and when the ecosystem, the political ecosystem is built off of outrage and anger, every single, you know, time there's a debate, every day i open my emails and it's republicans and democrats saying, did you hear what so and so said, give $50 now so we can take them on. >> don't you have to have the responsibility to lower that temperature yourself? then or at least your side to lower it? i mean, both sides at the moment from what we see over here, are making this an election about the end of democracy. that's not lowering the temperature. >> and i think that's a very serious thing to keep in mind. women's rights have been completely reversed in the last 45 years. i mean, project 2025 literally wants to imprison women. i mean, this is this is outrageous. we are reversing ourselves and we're becoming a plutocracy. i mean, this is not

about when we say it's an end of democracy. i'm in europe right now. i was at a political conference last week with world leaders of all different backgrounds who were extremely concerned about the state of democracy and stability in the united states, and the implication across the world. yes, it is about democracy. you had brexit. you know what the ramifications were when the right wing, the far right, is being funded by foreign interests that are against the i mean, i with respect to my colleague here, who i do think is fair minded, you have a problem in your party. you know, there are people who are cosying up to dictators around the world. donald trump wanted to rip apart every single bureaucratic entity in our country. he couldn't staff the state department. he put austerity on, on every different. you know, he wanted to eliminate public schools. this is the end of democracy. yes, it is democracy. >> well, thank you very much to both of you, greg swenson and naomi katz. thank you for that. we'll talk more about that later. next on free speech nafion later. next on free speech nation billboard, chris, the activist and canadian father known for wearing a sandwich

us. so what's going why does he need to step up and defend australian free speech? >> well, no child has ever been born in the wrong body. and this is a message that billboard chris has been committed to for some time. so much so that he even straps it to his body and walks around the streets engaging in conversation, because this is fundamentally one of the most important conversations we're having in our era. right. and so, billboard, chris has been engaging in this for a while, and he took to twitter recently to express concern because the w.h.o, in to express concern because the who, in setting guidelines on w.h.o, in setting guidelines on transgender care around the world, had appointed experts to a panel, including a very specific transgender activist who the daily mail had reported was engaging also in promoting inappropriate things like bondage and bestiality and things that are not appropriate for a who expert in chris's opinion. let me say in chris's opinion. let me say in chris's opinion and chris's opinion. opinion. let me say in chris's opinion and chris's opinion . and opinion and chris's opinion. and so chris tweeted his opinion, as many of us are prone to do on the social media platform x, he's a canadian using an american platform to tweet to engagein american platform to tweet to engage in his free speech. but somehow the australian government heard about this

tweet and their esafety commissioner asked twitter to pull it down. and twitter initially said no. after receiving an order to do so. they've temporarily geo blocked it in australia, so no australians can hear chris's message. and a court case has ensued with both x and billboard chris fighting for a free speech in australia because australians deserve the right to be discussing this fundamentally important issue about the future of our children. >> because it was, i think it was just this week, wasn't it? when elon was interviewed and he said the only time free speech is important is about when someone is saying something you disagree with, because obviously someone says something you agree with, then of course you think you like that free speech. everyone laps that one up. but this is not even necessarily about the topic, is it? there must be many people who disagree with what billboard chris is saying, and they have the right to disagree with it. how are they going to know what they're disagreeing with if they never get to read it? well, exactly. >> and i think what makes this case more sinister is this isn't a casual case of cultural cancellation. this is a state authority telling a citizen not

even of their own country, that they are not allowed to express an opinion about an important topic and be about a policy making body that is going to be affecting governments around the world. and we're seeing this as with adf international, we're seeing a trend of this across western countries with governments interfering in what is peacefully expressed. opinion on twitter . is peacefully expressed. opinion on twitter. in finland, we have another case where a grandmother and politician is at the supreme court later this year because she tweeted a bible verse and expressed concern about her church's involvement in a pride parade . obviously a parade. obviously a controversial topic, but not one that should be shut down by the state. over in mexico, we're supporting two individuals, two politicians who misgendered a colleague on twitter and have been convicted of gender based political violence and a court authority ordered them to apologise twice a day for 15 days online as part of their punishment. and we're supporting them in seeking justice after what happened. but we can see across the world again and again

in countries that we don't. we expect to be upholding human rights, upholding free speech for the world to see. we're seeing increasing censorship, increasing blasphemy laws, really against the popular opinions of today. >> the fact that you could be sentenced to having to tweet things. i mean, it's like giving someone lines, isn't it ? yeah. someone lines, isn't it? yeah. use tweetdeck, you can schedule the tweets, get it all over and that's probably not really the point, is it? i mean, for ages people said of the internet, it's the wild west, it's uncontrollable. and that was what we thought. like it would be a place where there can't be restrictions. and yet suddenly we're hearing all of these news stories. how legally is it happening? >> well, it's the new public square, isn't it? it's the in olden times, it would be conversations that happen in pubuc conversations that happen in public squares and meeting places and markets and now these voices are much more exposed or amplified because anyone can see amplified because anyone can see a tweet and therefore any government can see a tweet. and we're seeing not only the government of your own country might disagree with you, but the government of another country. and this is putting immense pressure on social media platforms like x and others like facebook, who, when it comes to

the european commission, for example, are constantly getting into trouble with how they're supposed to manage this. it's meeting the expectations of governments and yet allowing free speech to continue online. and it's just an an unsolvable dilemma. i think governments obviously have to allow for free speech, allow for criticism, even if it makes them uncomfortable. >> i mean, in the old days when people used to say what they thought in town squares, there were some governments that would shut that down. well, exactly. they probably aren't the governments we want to be. >> no. >> no. >> yeah. how are things looking for this, though? so, you know, you're taking on the case and hey ellen, money has got to be buying some good lawyers. but does this look like it's going to be a fruitful endeavour. >> well, x's case and chris's case are similar but not entirely joined. so if people want to contribute to our cause, there's ways you can do that on there's ways you can do that on the adf international website. but they will have a hearing likely in early fall, and we'll hear more about that then as the case progresses. as this fight for free speech continues. and i think it will gain a lot of

worldwide attention. so i'm sure we'll hear more about it soon. >> you say it will get worldwide attention. i imagine it'll be one country that tries to geobacter, and you're quite right. >> they might get away with it. >> they might get away with it. >> they might get away with it. exactly. but i think the important thing is for all of us outside of australia is to be talking about this, raising attention to these cases, whether it's australia or mexico or finland or nigeria or any place around the world who have blasphemy laws or hate speech laws or who are bringing them in, like in scotland and ireland, and who are considering bringing in this legislation which will suppress free speech not only in person but online, and show this to these governments before this legislation is passed and say, look what can happen. look where we can end up so that we can turn this tide around and stop this censorship across the west. >> thank you very much for coming in and telling us all about that. that's, lois mcclatchey miller from adf international. so next on free speech nation. it's coming home. is it does it remember where it lives? our reporter anna o'reilly is live in the frantic fan zone. next. don't move a muscle.

welcome back to free speech nation. and of course, the countdown is to on the euros final, where england will face off against spain. very shortly. gb news reporter anna riley has been to talking the fans watching in hull, where the atmosphere. what's it like there? anna too busy at the bar? no can't hear anything . she's no can't hear anything. she's literally getting paid to watch the football and drink. someone made the right choice about what to do today, didn't they? and anna. all right, well, why don't you eventually get her when she's been served? do let me know. but meanwhile. so, like, as a as a scottish person, leah. and i believe you are one scottish woman. yes you are. yeah you self—identify she slash

her. what what's higher for you. england winning. beating the spaniards . which one? what do spaniards. which one? what do you like the most? >> what's. what's better. what's better? reform winning or, spain winning. ten nil. it's hard. it's hard to tell. no, i think i think there's always been that sort of rivalry between england and scotland. it used to be a fun thing, and now it's become a serious. we talk about political discourse like, now, you know, the scots are i think i blame the scots are i think i blame the scottish national party. they've like fomented this whole xenophobic racism at the, you know , during covid. they're know, during covid. they're actually scottish people who went down to the border with england wearing like hazmat suits. and because there was rumours spreading that english people were bringing covid up to scotland and so they stood at the border, like on the motorway , the border, like on the motorway, telling english people to turn round and go back home. and, you know, i mean, i'm pretty sure that's a bnp policy, never mind snp. >> i thought you were going to say they went to the border and just coughed. no, i think i

might have it. let's try and see if we can get into newcastle following wind. you never know. yeah >> no, i mean scottish people aren't the healthiest at the best of times. you can understand why they're scared of covid and i mean, look, i mean, i don't want to be the one to say it, but. >> oh, we're the underdogs. statistically, it's not looking great like spain haven't lost a match, have they? during the whole thing so far. well yeah. all right. you self—identify as you say. you've lived it every time we mentioned britain. >> i don't consider i'm not british and i support the british and i support the british team. that's good. whatever it is, i support the engush whatever it is, i support the english team. i mean, this is the thing about scottish people is they forget. it's like it wasn't used to be cuddly and friendly. i seen the movies. the movies are like people hacking each. oh, yeah? >> yeah, i was talking to. >> yeah, i was talking to. >> i was talking about 15 years ago. >> not 15, not the 1700s, because they'd never seen an engush because they'd never seen an english person before. >> i mean, that's why they didn't have the hostility. but now, because they've been brainwashed by the internet. no, it's of course, scotland. >> you sound like that democrat woman. >> yes. >> yes. >> we need to shut down the internet so that scottish people don't hate english people. >> and we'll get more on this

later. anyway, let's crack on now. apologies to lower the tone as if it's even possible normally on this show, but would you sign up for a kink in the workplace training? it's not me asking. this is it's the outrage. is it ? as outrageous as outrage. is it? as outrageous as it sounds? there's a social commentator and writer, james essay joins us now. i'll. james, i'll let you explain it, because i'll let you explain it, because i'll blush if i try and get into details. what's it all about ? details. what's it all about? >> good evening. i mean , look, i >> good evening. i mean, look, i feel very sorry for my wife because i force her to sit through these weird and wacky things that i get sent by concerned members of the public, even if it means a lifetime of therapy for me, but this is training being delivered by a hypnotherapist and a life coach , hypnotherapist and a life coach, andifs hypnotherapist and a life coach, and it's supposedly how to bring kink and bdsm practices into the workplace. it's meant to be for aspiring middle managers. so i forced myself to sit through a few modules of this, and i can tell you that it was neither kinky nor was it beneficial for

the workplace. it was flat out bizarre. >> the look, we've all got bosses who've been a bit like that, but was there any part of it that was useful? i mean , i it that was useful? i mean, i don't know how much you could give us the details of the kind of stuff you learned at this time of day on the on the tv. but what was it all about? >> well, it was it was taking very basic workplace concepts and then trying to kind of kink ify them. so for example, it talked through how to use workplace risk assessment. but rather than johnny tripping over a cable or sue spilling some hot tea on her lap, it was about what happens if you whip somebody with a flogging strap in the wrong part of the body, causing them an injury. or, for example, instead of talking about engaging with stakeholders, it talked about how to best engage with your gimps. this is word for word what is contained within this training. and you know, he's charging £80 a pop for this. and it gets even more bizarre because one would think for workplace training, you know, someone would want to celebrate that, maybe go and tell their

manager, i've just undertaken this brand new training, but not this brand new training, but not this training, because users are told that if they want to use a discreet payment label to appear on their bank statement, that that's on offer to you . so what that's on offer to you. so what is meant to be workplace training sounds more like hiring a prostitute or purchasing some pornography. it's very strange indeed. >> and that's more the kind of thing you do in the house of commons. but, the look i mean, would you put it on your cv? what kind of did you fall for a prank is what i'm thinking here. theidea prank is what i'm thinking here. the idea that there's a training course that teaches you how to use kink at work, but clearly you can't, because hr would surely have a word with you straight away. is it just about getting the £80 out of. i can't say the word perverts, but you know what? i'm talking about. >> well, we're living in a world in which we're meant to indulge and even celebrate people's weird practices, fetishes , weird practices, fetishes, sometimes even perversions, i think that this individual is taking people's hard earned money, you know, and at the end of the day, these individuals

want to be affirmed. and this this affirms them to, you know, but i think it's very bizarre because there's something quite, i'd say, unethical, actually, about going to the workplace and viewing your colleagues through a lens of, of bdsm. but, you know , we joke about some of the know, we joke about some of the content of this, but i've come across other very, very dangerous training taking place in the united kingdom. so, for example, there's a therapeutic organisation called the college of sex and relationship therapists. it's an accredited body and they recently did a webinar for the members , webinar for the members, essentially justifying bestiality. they call it animal play. and they say this because of things like beauty and the beast, that this is already normal within our culture, this idea that human beings might want to shack up with animals and they they attempt to try and justify this and bear in mind this is training being delivered to therapists who are then going to therapists who are then going to offer this to vulnerable clients. they even go to on say that sleep, play. in other

words, people who have a sexual fantasy of having sex with people who are unconscious, that thatis people who are unconscious, that that is okay on the basis that we have a film called sleeping beauty . beauty. >> okay. is anyone going to step in and regulate this at any stage because it feels like someone should ? someone should? >> well, precisely. but i think culturally things have almost gone too far, you know, we think about lgbtq+ and this is now being used as an umbrella to catch all of these weird, you know, perversions. and historically, you know, we were taught as a society to be tolerant, to be accepting . but tolerant, to be accepting. but now we're told that we must celebrate. you know, that's why we've got drag acts going into kindergartens to perform for children. that's why we've got, you know, london police parading next to men in fetish gear at last last week's london pride festival. so i don't really know how we roll back from this, but we certainly need to, because i sincerely worry for the future

of humanity. >> but at least you've done the training course now so you can definitely put it on your cv. you never know, you might get hired. thank you very much for that. james s, who's, fully trained. i'll tell you what. i'm going to go and watch beauty and the beast again and think differently. it's the end of the first of our free speech nation. don't go anywhere. there's lots more to come between now and 9:00. i'll see you in a few minutes. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb. news >> hello there. good evening . >> hello there. good evening. this is your gb news weather update provided by the met office . many of us are ending office. many of us are ending this weekend on a reasonably calm note. we do have some clear spells around, particularly across wales, central, southern areas of england, northern ireland and western scotland . ireland and western scotland. also seeing a dry start to the night. there is a bit of rain and drizzle around though for the north eastern areas, particularly developing and pepping up particularly developing and pepping up across the firth of forth into edinburgh, where dunng forth into edinburgh, where during the second half of the night many of us, though seeing temperatures hold up around 11 to 13 c. for your early morning

rush hour, then on monday there will be a little bit of cloud around, certainly for the north—east of scotland. some drizzle underneath all of that, perhaps some misty, murky conditions, particularly around some coastal areas, but generally further towards the west . there will be some quite west. there will be some quite bright sunshine first thing. still, though , that drizzle still, though, that drizzle perhaps lingering through the central belt, northern ireland getting off to a pretty fine start for this new working week. some sunny spells in there and also for parts of northern england. it will be much brighter compared to recent days that we have seen feeling a touch better here. for the far south though, it is this area of rain that we have our eyes on. this will be turning very heavy, very quickly as we head throughout the morning with some thundery downpours possible. torrential rain there could certainly be some difficulties on the roads and travelling, so do take care here. and there is a rain warning in force for south west england and wales throughout much of monday that will steadily push its way northwards, perhaps skirting into eastern areas as well. feeling a little cool underneath that rain. 1819 c. but the northern half of the uk faring quite well, around 20 to 21 c here, just with an ice or shower to watch out for into tuesday.

that area of low pressure that's bringing the rain to the southwest will just sort of slowly grind to a halt across some central areas, so it is still with us. the band of rain will be swirling its way around first thing on tuesday for parts of wales, the midlands into parts of yorkshire and lancashire as well. behind that we'll start to see some sunny spells and showers developing again. some of those will be on the sharp side at times when they they look like it could be a slightly drier day for many of us, but there is further rain on the cards towards the end of the week. by by that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb. >> well .

>> now welcome back to free speech nation. loads to come. but first let's get more questions from our lovely studio audience who've kindly chosen to spend such a momentous sunday evening with us and hopefully not by accident, our first question in this section. barbara, what have you got for us, our trump allies, right to blame the biden campaign for the assassination attempt, our trump allies right to blame the biden campaign for the assassination attempt? top allies of donald trump quickly accused president biden and his supporters of using rhetoric that led to the shooting. the central premise of the biden campaign is that president trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. his one take on it, leo, is that the rhetoric to blame? is that what causes this, or is it people who aren't necessarily all there in the head and guns? >> no, man. that's i mean, this is one instance that the democrats actually haven't called for gun control after because they've seen the guns . because they've seen the guns. are there one way to stop donald trump? instead, you saw that that democrat woman just a moment ago that you're

interviewing saying, oh, we need to we need to shut down. we need to we need to shut down. we need to restrict social media because there's all this, sexist, far right propaganda being shared on, on social media. so she follows you. trump wasn't trump wasn't killed because of, because of sexism or because of, you know, stuff being shared on social media. trump was killed because of it wasn't killed, by the way. >> oh, that's a good point . good >> oh, that's a good point. good for you. >> that's a good point. trump wasn't shot at. trump wasn't, people didn't try to kill trump because of conspiracy theories shared on social media. trump, people somebody tried to kill trump because of conspiracy theories shared by the mainstream media and by the democrats and by everybody on the left. and i think we need to we need to look at that. and i know you're looking at me. you're giving me that whole left wing. >> no, i was a good question. >> no, i was a good question. >> he answered. >> he answered. >> no, that's not why i was going to say. i was like, it's not the only side that's been coming up with conspiracy theories. we'd think of qanon would think of a pizza place

with a basement that didn't have a basement being where all the paedophiles are. >> listen, the difference between right wing conspiracy theories and left wing conspiracy theories is that right wing conspiracy theories come true about two weeks afterwards, and left wing conspiracy conspiracy theories are clearly nonsense, but it's not true that the democrats dnnk not true that the democrats drink the blood of babies from a basement of a pizza place that doesn't have a basement. >> yeah, but that one's not come true. are you just waiting for that? >> that'll be fact checked on snopes, and it'll be completely false. it's actually the house next door . next door. >> okay, lewis, your take on that, you can answer my question how. >> now. >> bad things happen from bad from everybody. everybody's involved in this bad thing. but you can't blame joe biden for if joe biden weren't here and somebody else was in charge, the exact same thing would happen. this is what we're in a war. and when you're in a war, you say your enemy, the leader, is really bad guy. >> but using that phrase like it's >> but using that phrase like wsfime >> but using that phrase like it's time for the bull's eye to be on him, you can pick, you know, it's a nation that's definitely shot at some presidents before. yeah, maybe you don't say stuff like that, right? >> you don't. but i don't think

the bulls i don't think he's thinking we're going to shoot the guy. and but i think what they are saying is that this is a life and death situation for , a life and death situation for, for his group of people, which are basically , you know, are basically, you know, pro—abortion, pro covid things, pro—abortion, pro covid things, pro mass immigration. this is so they have a this is what they're saying. they're saying we're going to we're going to make sure that our side is taken care of. >> i don't know if all the words for biden to get right, our next question is from stuart. what have you got for us? stuart? >> hello, is it right to ban clothes? promoting cultural appropriation? is it right to ban clothes for promoting cultural appropriation? >> this is wireless festival. organisers have banned dozens of items from this year's three day event at finsbury park. they include clothing, garments, items which promote cultural appropriation. doesn't specify which items we're talking about, raising questions over whether could it be sombreros again? are they going the way of, every time there's a mention of a sombrero upset someone, doesn't it, >> yeah . they're not very tasty.

>> yeah. they're not very tasty. >> yeah. they're not very tasty. >> you're thinking of a solero. oh, okay. >> is, is like, i don't know what is cultural appropriation. everything's cultural appropriation. when i see somebody doing stand up comedy in this country or any country, i think they've stolen from the jews. so maybe they should. they shouldn't be allowed to do it. people's cultural appropriation is good. when you see somebody wearing clothes, you go up to them and say, where'd this come from? and they say it's from peru or something. and you've learned a bit about peru. so what are we supposed to wear? the same clothes? we've the idea of a lapel like this comes from another country. so we should not be allowed to wear this. >> i mean, you say everything's cultural appropriation. the flip side would be nothing's cultural appropriation. it's just having ideas on this planet. >> yeah. no, absolutely nothing should be cultural appropriation. i think as white people who invented, like, a lot of stuff, you know, a lot of stuff that people like. i mean, you enjoying those wheels? you enjoying those chairs? you enjoying those chairs? you enjoying antibiotics? like, we're not going to be like, oh, no. slapping the antibiotics out of a sub—saharan african

doctor's hand because they're culturally appropriate in the famous. >> no, we're like, we're happy that you've got these and it makes you happy. >> that's why i'm happy. stewart is dressed like an african prince. this is this is why cultural appropriation is a good thing. it breaks down barriers between people. >> it doesn't. >> it doesn't. >> there's no such thing as appropriation. we're using other people's stuff because it's more efficient. the guy's wearing an american baseball hat because it was sunny outside today. so it makes sense. it's there's no i'm not. nobody's appropriating anything. they're just saying this. this works for me at this moment. >> yeah, they're saying i like this stuff and it's great, to be honest that it's happening at wireless festival. and i'm sure everybody going to wireless festival is a tedious guardian reading lefty, so i'm glad i'm glad they get they get the joy ground out of them when they're walking in, because they brought some pocahontas beads with them , some pocahontas beads with them, i think. >> can i say something about that? >> well, the pocahontas beads definitely is. >> that is that they it's part of this war thing, which is that team hates themselves and they

hate the idea that we're having a good time and we haven't really paid for it legitimately ourselves. we basically stole it from slaves that our grandparents had or something. and so that's that's what this is all about. it's about like you say , making people feel bad . you say, making people feel bad. yeah, yeah. >> but there's no there's no details on this. but there's also the, the keffiyeh headscarves, which on the issue of cultural appropriation, one factory making them said no, no, this is absolutely fine. and it's interesting that when you're selling stuff, you're probably less likely to think people should be banned from wearing it. yeah. >> i mean, because you want people and there's lots of good feelings around the, you know , feelings around the, you know, the, the, the gaza head scarves because now that the situation is like all over down there and the hostages have been freed. so i'm against that too. what was i in favour of it before? >> i can't remember you do flip flop. it's good. our next question is from meta >> good evening. isis it question is from meta

>> good evening. is is it time for transgender men in boy bands? >> is it time for transgender men in boy bands? well, it's simon cowell that got us thinking about this. reportedly ianed thinking about this. reportedly invited transgender men to apply for his to search find the next the nation's next big boy band, or big boy band. depends which way that goes, the music mogul recently set out on this quest, and plans for the to search appear on a netflix documentary called the midas touch. however, the first round of auditions in liverpool failed to draw a crowd, with onlookers saying that only 40 people turned up, which we take as a big audience . which we take as a big audience. but, leo, what's the thinking here? is it just like, what's a great way to get in the daily mail? >> yeah, i mean, it's probably just an attempt to get publicity, but i mean, never mind transgenderism. why can't they have trans ageism? so, you know, me and lewis could identify as 18 year old heartthrobs. and getting this band. i mean, it might not be one direction, it might be lack of erection, but it would still, you know, i think that's the that's the trans we want to see

in this industry. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean, is there any other reason other than just publicity? i mean, it is simon cowell thinking a netflix documentary called the midas touch, which is a sidebar people misquote what midas. it was a bad thing. it ruined midas life. people go like, oh, i love the idea of everything i touch, including my wife turning to metal. well apparently, yeah, but good metal. >> i mean, it's better than the zinc touch. but, what happened was, was that your sync, didn't it? yeah, yeah. no rusting, no rusting around me. but, what happened with, he was holding auditions. only 40 people turned up to one audition, which i thought, you know, you get enough people for a boy band from that alone, but not for simon cowell . simon cowell. >> so for blazing squad. >> so for blazing squad. >> yeah. so i think, yeah, he wants to get in the paper. so he said, yeah. what about, you know, transgender dolphins. you know, transgender dolphins. you know, they're in hamas and you know, they're in hamas and you know people are writing about it. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> but it's weird because it's like 40 is a i mean, how many? first of all, what is a transgender guy? it means that there's a band, there's like four guys and they say, we're

looking for a girl who's transitioning into a boy, right? who wants to see that? i do, yeah, i mean, that's why that's why this whole i want to see it. >> imagine if you had a whole boy band of trans men and they all, like, synchronised their penod all, like, synchronised their period and they got angry at the same time. that'd be amazing. >> that'd be the most manly thing. >> you know what? he's taken it too far. oh, that was too far. that was too far. mentioning the audience is shocked by that. is thatis audience is shocked by that. is that is that. no. first of all, when i, when i heard this story, |, when i, when i heard this story, i, whenever i read the story, i first thought simon cowell is he the transgender guy? because he's had tremendous work done to him. have you seen what he. >> oh, yeah, he's transitioned from like a human being into a badly stitched sofa. >> yeah . so he he looks like, >> yeah. so he he looks like, well, why would you want to put somebody in your band? that's that. i'm not i'm not saying it's a bad thing. what did i say? did he. i don't know , say? did he. i don't know, whatever leo said. >> you were saying the opposite. just for consistency. >> yeah, basically, yeah, because he's he's he's right most of the time. but it's he doesn't make friends from it. >> and our final question in

this section is from stuart . this section is from stuart. >> hello again. hello. should we punish or should scotland be punished for not supporting england? >> should we punish scotland for not? i mean, not just not supporting england, but a scottish newspaper was criticised last night after publishing a front page in support of spain ahead of their european championship final, with england under the headline time for revenge. i won't do the accent, but he will in a minute, pro—independence. the daily the national urged the spaniards to save us from an england win, or we'll never hear the end of it. they've got a point about that. it's not as if we won't bring it up from every every so often two world wars, one world cup. no. >> explain what it is. you didn't explain the story well enough for you, did he? >> totally. >> totally. >> he totally explained it. and they also showed a picture of they also showed a picture of the front page. just it was about spain. >> it was about about the problems that english people have wrought on the. >> yeah, they have this blurb that says, spanish people , these that says, spanish people, these are the reasons you should hate engush are the reasons you should hate english people too.

>> and they say, you know, they come to your they come to your country, they drink your beer. it doesn't mention the fact that engush it doesn't mention the fact that english people pay for that been english people pay for that beer. thus stimulating the spanish economy, economy. and also it says stuff like, oh, they come. they basically basically says they come over to your country and are a drain on pubuc your country and are a drain on public services and clog up your cities and, and it's like, wow, this sounds like the most far right thing i've ever read. somehow it's like they can say it about the english people, but if somebody says it about anybody coming over to the uk, then the same people, the national people don't know they're seeing this on tv. >> whatever. it's, it's they're saying it's a scottish paper saying it's a scottish paper saying to spain , this is the saying to spain, this is the problems that the, that the engush problems that the, that the english people have in spain. it's not even like it's not even has. it's not even the fact that scottish people hate the english. there's nothing about that. yeah. >> so that's it's mixed in there. a bit a bit. sure. >> they mention no it's not what people think it is. >> scotland knows that this is so the national. it's not really a newspaper, it's the, the sort

of the sort of house magazine for the scottish nationalist party, which is you know, just as i said before, it's just the same as the british national party. so kind of kind of worse because they're uglier and more scottish. but the, the, they basically they push all this xenophobic, anti—english , xenophobic, anti—english, anti—english narratives. and this is just, this is just part of it. i mean, it was launched at an snp rally. this is not an independent newspaper. >> i know, but it isn't what people think it is. and i don't support it because i don't like them. these scottish people and. >> how to win friends. >> how to win friends. >> and this has been my worst show ever. i think this list. >> can we just check with stuart worse shows than this. i will you stuart. >> will you be supporting england ? i think carefully england? i think carefully before you answer, bearing in mind that the exit is nearer us than it is you. >> i'll report back. i'll tell scottish people what you said. >> i'm not really a football fan, but i wish them all the best. no. >> oh, non—committal.

>> oh, non—committal. >> until he gets back over the border. ask him then. yes. >> keir starmer is what he's doing. but also, i mean, the flip side would be if this wasn't in the running order, no one in england would have cared about that front page. it's i don't think anyone's offended. >> probably nobody cared in scotland either. but i agree with you. we should be nice to each other. the problem is, is that scotland is becoming independent again. they want to be independent. >> they don't. >> they don't. >> a lot of them do . enough of >> a lot of them do. enough of them do. maybe they don't. but them do. maybe they don't. but the fact that a vote is it. this is part of the big issue. we are trying to become independent from germany and france and europe. right? we are and well, we're trying to become more you know, we can fit one more in final question, in this section, jane, what's your question? >> all right. >> all right. >> should journalists be saying they're attracted to the pm the way that you said that, jane? >> oh, i felt something go up my spine, should journalists be saying that they're attracted to the pm? a slurry of female journalists have declared that keir starmer gets them hot under

the collar in the times, caitlin moran wrote in, wrote that the prime minister had turbocharged her arousal levels , and zoe her arousal levels, and zoe strimpel also declared in the spectator that she would consider a saucy affair with keir starmer. you might need to ask him first learn about consent. but, lewis, is it all right to find the older man greying, attractive, even if he absolutely begs for his approval on twitter? all the time? sorry, i'm thinking about you. i've got confused. >> yes, i think it is. and i think you should. everybody, everybody considers everything. if i say to you, if i say to you, would you do keir starmer? you you'd say no. that's considering it. you've considering it. you've considering it. you've considering it for me and i'm well, whatever the fact that you're thinking about it means you're thinking about it means you're considering it. would she do it? i know this woman. would she do it? probably, i don't know, i don't actually don't know, i don't actually don't know her, but but i wanted it is your worst show. >> you're right. i doubted you when you said it. >> no, the first half was really goodin >> no, the first half was really good in this. never doubt. you again section was just really bad. i don't know what the point

is, is that he's good. he's he's better looking than the guy. better looking than corbyn. and his wife is hot, so. and he's just won an election. so that's why women like they like good looks. they like power and power. so of course she's liking him now. later on they like power. >> that's why they call it a mandate. yeah, somehow on a date with a man. yeah, but, i mean, the flip side of this would be if it was a female prime minister and male journalist. you know, nick robinson was going , oh, you know, nick robinson was going, oh, look at her fancy bit of that. that would not be okay. >> no, absolutely. >> no, absolutely. >> because, because apparently we're not all equal, but yeah, i think this just shows the lack of options on the left. like everybody on the left is just sort of fat and skinny at the same time, has no testosterone, and is a wheedling little sort of, you know, pretend nice guy trying to, like, nice. his way into some women's underpants. actually, probably you know, i don't know, they've probably just given up on sex altogether. i think the left invented incels before they had anything to do with the right. so whereas all the real men , the real men who

the real men, the real men who have calluses on their hands, can chop down a tree, can fix a bike or anything, really, the incels have calluses on their hands as well . all all the, all hands as well. all all the, all the, all the real men are right wing. so, you know, caitlin moran knows that she can't get the sexual satisfaction she desperately wants , from from a desperately wants, from from a left wing person. >> so who in what's left of the tory party would you say should be the one floating the boats of the ladies? >> it is dominic raab still in there? no. look at that guy. look at that guy. he's, like, made out of muscles. he looks like he's gonna burst through some french windows and save you because he does karate. >> he's a karate man. >> he's a karate man. >> he's a karate man. the >> he's a karate man. the best, most effective fighting system. >> you can't ask a man what a woman wants. you can't ask a woman wants. you can't ask a woman what a woman wants. women don't know what they want. >> jane, we can ask you, keir starmer. what are you thinking? low candlelight is a meal. guitar doing that? >> we don't know. maybe maybe i'd like to have a meal with him

and that would be about it. >> just there for the free meal. well, we've all been on dates like that, haven't we? >> exactly. >> exactly. >> splendid. all right, next on free speech nation. it's coming home. is it, though? our reporter, anna o'reilly is at a fan zone in hull. will update us next if she can hear

us. all right. welcome back to free speech nation, we're talking football. will they do it ? the football. will they do it? the current score. i'm about to tell you the current score. so if this is going to ruin it for you, i'm going to give you the latest current score. look away. now. you'll still be able to hear me. the current score is nil. nil. fascinating. imagine the thrilling football you've been missing. we will keep you up to date with that low score as it continues. but will england bring it home? is the question that everyone's saying,

you know it's coming home. does it remember where it lives? do we stand a chance like, statistically spanish team, they've not lost a match through they've not lost a match through the tournament. yeah. it's not who you want to be up against. >> they're probably good at football, but we've got to remember this isn't the real proper one. this is like the commonwealth games of football. this is the euros. it's not the world cup. the world cup. you go up against argentina proper countries with good footballers, but we might end up losing this one. >> so we definitely wouldn't do a world cup. >> we still came second. i say we obviously not me. >> yeah, you and, i mean lewis , >> yeah, you and, i mean lewis, your take on this look, we can actually now see some various fan zones where there have been watching it. >> i mean, look, they've certainly got a sell out audience . they're excited about audience. they're excited about this nil nil fest that they're currently watching. most of them still seem to be sober for it. well because they remember the last game. >> what was the other the semi—final where they where we were. >> oh, that's wembley, that's there. that's wembley right now. >> yeah . but the point there. that's wembley right now. >> yeah. but the point is remember is it. it looks remember is it. it looks remember the meme .

remember the meme. >> yeah. it's not the stadium. it's just outside the tube station. >> it's the wembley wembley coffee shop . coffee shop. >> only place we could get a camera, but i mean look, we as much as you're about to say negative, you're, you're a proper kind of man. you're going to rain on our parade. no i'm not. we managed to get all the way through to the final playing football. good football, bad football. good football, bad football . it's up to you. football. it's up to you. >> and it could end any moment. and. and that's why i'm here. it could end . i'm not going to put could end. i'm not going to put any more investment into it. if the english team wins. i'm so happy for them because it means so much to the people i got spanish people who are my neighbours next door and they are like, i, they asked me who i was rooting for and i said, england, because you have to root for england because it means so, so much. >> you literally are the metropolitan elite. look at you living next door to spanish people. yeah, with your ass in my ex—council house, i would hardly think it's such a i like it. >> you call it an ex—council house? >> well , my house? >> well, my mine is ex—council as they come and take it away

from me, >> look, it is something that people care about. i guess we don't. we're in a room that. odds are, if you were going to turn up to this show tonight, you're not really that bothered about football. but i kind of understand why there is a nation mood that goes with it. a national mood for england, i guess, but it's a little bit. it's a whiff of reminiscence about 1997, you know, you get a new labour government and music was good. if they win , starmer was good. if they win, starmer will be all over this, wasn't it? trying to make it seem like there's some sort of positive vibe? >> this was a labour policy. >> this was a labour policy. >> winning football tournaments was a labour policy didn't happen under a rishi and it's the only successful one they'll get through, but no, i mean i don't know, i think i think yeah it's good. it's, it lifts the nation's mood, i see that, but i know for a fact that i'm going to try and get an uber later on tonight after doing headliners and i won't be able to get one. it will cost six times as much and there will be a lot of vomit and there will be a lot of vomit and empty cocaine wrappers in that uber. >> there always is. >> there always is. >> when you use an uber and that's just what they it's on

your that's why your scores so low, but there is look there's also the problem in terms of how two emotional we get to it. last time we got through to a final, someone famously put a firework up their bottom in a place where even guy fawkes didn't end up with a firework. yeah, and we. not me. some blokes, if we're honest, take it too far. there's always that risk. >> absolutely. although what's interesting is i bet you couldn't get a sniper on the roof of whatever stadium it's being played in. but somehow you could get a sniper on the roof of, like, the only roof overlooking trump's rally last night. so, you know, sorry to bnng night. so, you know, sorry to bring it back to something that's actually interesting, but, it's just it blows my mind . but, it's just it blows my mind. that almost blew trump's mind. that almost blew trump's mind. that the secret service allowed that to happen. and people have been saying, oh , this shows that been saying, oh, this shows that it's a command from up on to high allow the sniper to get into position and take the shot. i don't think it is that i think it's diversity and equity and inclusion. it's the effect of that. they've had this massive hiring spree to make sure they

get rid of all the pale, stale males and just, just hire, you know, non—binary, overweight women. and as a result, you know, man, like , this is this is know, man, like, this is this is what we've got basic competence in complex systems is breaking down before you do. >> louis, i should apologise just for the turn of phrase might have upset some people, given that someone died the turn of phrase might be considered, a little bit too close to the bone, that would also. i know you're going to do that. i didn't want to finish the sentence because i knew you'd pick up on that. i now need to apologise for that one. as well, louis, your take on this, what was the question? >> i can't remember, he basically, he's like me. he's not answering the question. i'm answering. maybe i'm answering the question. is that what what's what was your question? what is the question? >> well, you kind of got a choice. you can either steer it back to football. but there is it is interesting. the two main news stories in this country at the moment, as you as you see the moment, as you as you see the front pages tomorrow, which i'm sure we'll talk about on headliners, tune in from 11, but

it's, it's this weird thing about football that people seem to care about and maybe gets the emotions going, but as as leo says, it's effectively pointless. you've got big stories about the way that our political system is ripping apart, and potentially with assassinations. that's the other main story. >> well, people like they like bread and circuses. that was from the roman times. so you can't say what they blame. the football, the euros on the internet that people wouldn't have gotten that worked up on the on the euros if it wasn't for the internet. i think i think leo was is right about this, you know, how do they not know i agree with you how do they not know they saw the guy up there. everyone's going, there's a guy up there with a gun. so that is right about that. but this is this is football. it's a very simple game. it's a fantastic game. as a baseball fan, my entire life in new york, football is the best actual game because it's, you know, when something good happens until they take it away. but they know when something good happens, you know, when the game's over. it's a it's a fantastic game. it's a very simple game. and if we lose the game, you could pretty much tell why we lost. there's no like,

weird thing. they should have done this and they should have done this and they should have done this. it's pretty weird that, yeah, they'll talk a lot about it after. >> then again, if we lose there are likely to be some outbreaks of violence. i'm from mansfield, and one of the things that we were kind of famous for is that whenever you lose, we get you get far enough. anything beyond a quarter final and the england lose. there's little outbreaks of violence in city centres and always in mansfield. i don't know why cars get flipped over. you just basically park somewhere else when it happens. >> yeah, because i can. i don't know if mansfield is that way. maybe it's because it's so close to loughborough. is that where it is? nottinghamshire nottinghamshire? >> the good thing is that these electric cars, like teslas, they're so heavy because the battery, it actually stops football hooligans flipping them oven football hooligans flipping them over. is that true. so yeah. or the wrenching their backs. >> who'd have thought you'd end up being pro ev in this bit? amazing how far you can travel when people who don't know about football are asked to talk about football. but we next on we travel further. >> let's let's say we support england. >> yeah, let's do that next on free speech nation. is the media to blame or not for reporting on joe biden's physical and mental

decline accurately ? should the decline accurately? should the attempted assassination of donald trump not have been so much of a shock given our political landscape, or the one in the in the us and american? so academic and authorjonathan turley joins us next as we'll be getting some interesting thoughts on that topic. don't go

>> mark dolan tonight is your weekend dose of news, debate and entertainment. this sounds like a wild conspiracy theory. don't miss my big opinion. a wild conspiracy theory. don't miss my big opinion . mark meets miss my big opinion. mark meets and my take at ten. democracy is and my take at ten. democracy is a funny old thing. and we don't do boring. not on my watch . i do boring. not on my watch. i just won't have it. go and get another glass of that bubbly. you've earned it. that's mark dolan tonight saturday and sunday, 9 to 11 only on gb news. the people's channel, britain's news channel . news channel. >> welcome back to free speech

nation. is the media to blame for sweeping joe biden's physical and mental decline under the rug, and should the attempted assassination of donald trump not have been so much of a shock given the political landscape in the us? these are the thoughts of academic and authorjonathan academic and author jonathan turley, who has written a book called the indispensable right free speech in an age of rage . free speech in an age of rage. and i'm delighted to say jonathan joins us now. so, jonathan, let's take the biden side of it. first of all, i presuming, given you've written the book, it's not that much of a surprise to you, but how much blame should we be laying? >> well, it's not a surprise. while this is not our first age of rage, it may be the most dangerous, and the president has contributed to that. you know, we've had what i call in the book rage rhetoric, which we've had a struggle with since the founding of the country where rage rhetoric often turns into a type of state rage as the government cracks down on political dissidents and groups. the president has contributed to

that environment. i mean, he has really stoked these groundless fears that this will be our last democratic election, which is absolutely perverse and absurd, he has called the president trump supporters enemies of the people. he suggested that we would be going back to the confederacy, you know, and his supporters have ratcheted up that rhetoric even further. we had someone on msnbc, rachel maddow, say that a recent decision means that trump can order now death squads to roam our streets, others have said that if trump is elected, gaze and reporters will be disappeared. that's the level of rhetoric . and most people hear rhetoric. and most people hear that and they go, come on, but there's a certain percentage that hears that, and they, they hear not a warning, but a license to do whatever they need to do to stop trump. >> is there some validity in

looking at the other side, the people making claims of unfair elections, fixed elections also, that being another way to end your democracy ? your democracy? >> look, i think there's criticism on both sides. i've said that in my book that rage rhetoric doesn't have a singular home. i mean, both the left and the right have engaged in it in many ways. donald trump really sort of introduced a type of retail rage. he knew that many people in this country felt disenfranchised , disconnected, disenfranchised, disconnected, and he really was able to harness that, in 2016, i think he's doing it again. you know, i didn't feel like 2020 had that feeling , but didn't feel like 2020 had that feeling, but it didn't feel like 2020 had that feeling , but it does now, you feeling, but it does now, you know, before he was elected, i wrote a column for usa today in 2015 saying this guy could win because everywhere i was going, people were talking about donald trump. many of them said he didn't like them, but they still wanted him to be a president.

you're sort of getting that feel again that the anti—establishment, sentiments are rising. >> is there any way back from this? if you if the graph that you've effectively plotted in words, there is that it's getting worse because it's successful ? would it take both successful? would it take both parties, both sides of the debate to lower the temperature? but it would be more successful for just one of them to flip and get all rage filled again. are you doomed ? basically? you doomed? basically? >> well, that, of course, is the problem is that rage often is met with rage. you know, there's a actually an interesting comparison, in the 2024 election to the 1800 election, i draw this comparison, in the indispensable right. and it was indispensable right. and it was in 1800 that thomas jefferson ran against john adams. he ran on a platform of free speech. john adams had proven to be a terrible hypocrite, he essentially replicated the british, prosecutions for sedition, against speech . and

sedition, against speech. and thomas jefferson ran against him on that basis. but we had the very same hyperbolic and inflammatory language on from both parties, newspapers that were aligned with one side or the other . this were aligned with one side or the other. this is very similar to that. in addition , one of the to that. in addition, one of the issues was the criminalisation of politics. you know, jeffersonians said, with some grounds, that adams was using the criminal justice system against his opponents and that is being repeated today. the other similarity is joe biden is arguably the most anti—free speech president since john adams. i mean, we have had the establishment and i go into this in the book of an unprecedented system of censorship. one federal judge referred to it as orwellian , it's massive. and it orwellian, it's massive. and it the reason that this is such a dangerous time for free speech is that we've never had this alliance of government corporations , academia and the

corporations, academia and the media of all the periods i go through in the book that has never come together, because the book sort of talks about the personalities and periods that have helped shape our understanding of free speech, but we've never had this profile in terms of an opposition to free speech. >> yeah , interesting. i mean, >> yeah, interesting. i mean, you say that joe biden not particularly great on free speech. people would have watched the debate and might think he's not great on speech, does he seem like he's got the mental faculty to be orchestrating all of the things you've just said, or who else is behind? it would be the other question. >> well, it's very hard to say. he obviously has diminished mentally . his staff has for mentally. his staff has for three years kept him from situations where he could be asked spontaneous questions. even today, when he said , i need even today, when he said, i need to speak to the to the people twice, he just had a press conference and will do another speech from the oval office. they specifically wouldn't allow any questions, so they've gone back to this type of bunker

campaign where they will sort of wheel him out, have him read from a teleprompter, and then wheel him back in. that's not going to convince many citizens. >> yeah. so the events of what for us was last night. well, that shock your nation into what you're trying to say. you know, the issue about free speech and how important it is and how rage is the opposite of the light that you wish to shine on things. yesterday's events, will they actually be a wake up call for america? >> i hope so , yeah. i've written >> i hope so, yeah. i've written two columns saying that we need to look at this. this is directly out of the book. this is a this is a continuation of the pattern. i describe in the book. and the book is really about what i call rage rhetoric and how it leads to political violence, how it leads to state rage, and the interesting thing, though, is that the anti—free speech movement in the united states came from higher education. as i have a long chapter on higher education in

the book, i also talk a lot about england, both historically and in a contemporary sense, free speech isn't a free fall in england, great britain has gone the way of criminalisation of speech. we even had a judge not long ago. convict a guy who they said had toxic ideology, as if you can have a thought crime. it's distressing to see a country that we inherited so much from, to go down this path, but it's now reached our shores. we've been watching this wave build in europe, and it's now hitting our shores. and it came out of higher education. it's now metastasised into the media, and the democratic party is now wholeheartedly in favour of censorship and blacklisting. i have been a lifelong democrat. i come from a liberal, politically active democratic family in chicago. i don't know what happened to my party. it used to be the democratic party was the

party of free speech. now i've testified repeatedly in congress and the democrats sound like joe mccarthy. they accuse people who are fighting for free speech. one one demo cratic senator said they were putin lovers and others have said , you're you're others have said, you're you're an insurrectionist sympathisers. i mean, it's right out of the mccarthy period. >> jonathan, thank you for that. author jonathan turley, who's written a book called the indispensable right free speech in an age of rage, next on free speech nation, we'll bring you more blunders in the name of the best social media sensations that you might have missed this week, plus your unfiltered dilemmas. see you in a few

right. it's time for social sensations. the part of the show where we look at what's been

going viral over the last week on social media. and first up is a video of clive lewis deciding to protest, taking the oath of allegiance to the king as parliament opened. >> i take this oath under protest and in the hope that one day my fellow citizens will democratically decide to live in a republic. until that time , i a republic. until that time, i do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm that i will be faithful and bear true allegiance to his majesty. king charles, according to law , kind charles, according to law, kind of feels like some of those words he couldn't have meant. >> yeah, yeah, absolutely. >> yeah, yeah, absolutely. >> and this shows the duplicity of politicians and how they'll say something that's politically expedient for them to achieve their aims. what you should really do, if he doesn't believe in giving an oath to the king and giving an oath to the monarchy is not do it, but instead he does it and provides some sort of lily livered caveat. what an absolute. this is disgusting. this is like when

you know michael sheen and all these people receive their obes and then hand them back like two years later, as if suddenly decided they're disgusted by them. it's like, how about you don't accept it and don't have that party and don't have all that party and don't have all that congratulations in the first place? >> or how about how about us being stronger and saying, you said you don't believe in the oath, so it's not a real oath. so go yourself. yeah, that should be done. the truth is, is that the royal family is the worst thing about this country. >> and that's a lie. there's lots of terrible things . lots of terrible things. >> you've never been to milton keynes. >> maybe it's not the worst thing. it's one of the worst things. it could be the worst thing. i don't like it as an american, but i've been trained not to like it. but i don't like it. and a lot of people don't like it. and maybe there should be, you know, but they but people have voted, which is what makes it a republic or whatever it is that they voted to have a king and they have to go along with it. how that works. >> well, if you don't, if you don't like the king, you'll love the next video. next up is a

video of king charles blending in with the west indian cricket team, bumping fists with batsmen. michael lewis, where he is the. bit of a height difference, i tell you. >> the cricket, dressing rooms and facilities are amazing, because it wasn't it was a good joke. that a good joke? >> i mean, you left it late in the show to do one, but whatever. >> we'll edit that in. we'll put it in the front. is that. is that who is that guy? really? he's the king. i know you say it like it's all the all the royal family in this country is kim il jung plus 400 years or. or if saddam hussein had stayed in power for another 400 years, that's all it is. it's just some guy - that's all it is. it's just some guy . they just make this guy and guy. they just make this guy and he actually longer than. and the worst thing about it is and people are going to listen to me and i hope they don't hate me for this. he's not on our team. he's not on team britain. he's fighting for the europeans. he's fighting for the europeans. he's fighting for the europeans. he's fighting for whatever, joe biden, because he's posh. because whatever his no. there

are rich people who support the other side, but he's not supporting you, i think. >> i think he's right to fist bump that game. what's he supposed to do? like lick his fist like you know, i don't like shaking hands anyway, why would i want to rub the part of my body that makes sandwiches with against the part of your body that you do unmentionable things with? >> but finally, we have this video. take a look. this video again . one, two, three, four again. one, two, three, four katherine forster i can't understand, but i can up again . understand, but i can up again. >> so get your one year stamps appeared . appeared. >> he's enjoying it. >> he's enjoying it. >> he's enjoying it. >> he really does look like gareth southgate. >> yeah , yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> anybody on radio? that was a police officer who looks exactly like gareth southgate. yeah. >> which is an option in case things don't work out well later on. nil nil. >> you can become manager of the england football team fair enough. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and for like 8 or 10 years

boyfriend's family for the first time this week. he insists that i should call his stepdad sticky ricky . this seems a little ricky. this seems a little inappropriate to me, but if i don't go along with it, i'm worried i will look uptight. what's the best way forward? what's the best way forward? what would you do in this situation, louis? >> well, she's saying to call my call my stepdad. right. sticky ricky . yeah. ricky. yeah. >> sticky ricky is his stepdad. >> sticky ricky is his stepdad. >> well, considering i never get anyone i'm going out with to do anything that i want them to do, i don't know what i would say. i don't i wouldn't say anything because i think you do. >> we've got seconds. >> we've got seconds. >> it's obviously a trick. don't call the stepdad sticky, ricky. i mean, at least wait and see what other people refer to him. and then you know, go with whatever they say, see if he's sticky. >> makes sense. well thank you for joining us for free speech nation. this was the week when the new government declared an end to the culture wars, with no evidence of that whatsoever. the ruler of the free world mistook president zelenskyy for putin. oh, an england football team. well, to be continued , thank you well, to be continued, thank you to my panel, leo kearse and louis schaefer. and to my

temperatures hold up around 11 to 13 c for your early morning rush hour, then on monday there will be a little bit of cloud around, certainly for the north—east of scotland. some drizzle underneath all of that, perhaps some misty, murky conditions, particularly around some coastal areas. but generally further towards the west. there will be some quite bright sunshine first thing still, though, that drizzle perhaps lingering through the central belt. northern ireland getting off to a pretty fine start for this new working week. some sunny spells in there and also for parts of northern england. it will be much brighter compared to recent days that we have seen. feeling a touch better here for the far south though, it is this area of rain that we have our eyes on. this will be turning very heavy very quickly as we head throughout the morning with some thundery downpours possible. torrential rain there could certainly be some difficulties on the roads and travelling so do take care here. and there is a rain warning in force for south west england and wales throughout much of monday. that will steadily push its way northwards, perhaps skirting into eastern areas as well. feeling a little cool underneath that rain. 1819 c. but the northern half of the uk faring quite well, around 20 to 21 c

here, just with an ice or shower to watch out for into tuesday, that area of low pressure that's bringing the rain to the southwest will just sort of slowly grind to a halt across some central areas, so it is still with us. the band of rain will be swirling its way around first thing on tuesday for parts of wales, the midlands into parts of yorkshire and lancashire as well behind that we'll start to see some sunny spells and showers developing again. some of those will be on the sharp side at times when they they look like it could be a slightly drier day for many of us, but there is further rain on the cards towards the end of the week. by by. >> looks like things are heating up boxt boilers sponsors of weather on
