2:04 am
whole big extradition thing. and then he he came across as being a winner. >> that you haven't really explained the story. >> he was celebrating this victory. you got to find out who the guy is. if he's somebody, don't you have to explain who the guy is? >> i think we've got the gist of who he is. what's now he. >> he he won his court case in america. yes. and then he was on a yacht in the mediterranean? yes and there was a waterspout, or, as we would call it in america, a tornado . and 80% of america, a tornado. and 80% of all, of all waterspouts and tornadoes are in america. did you know that? >> i did not know that. so this is a wreckage. nick, do you have anything to add? maybe. >> yeah, i mean, there's an element of conspiracy because he was in this multi—billion dollar fraud case. his co—defendant, defendant was this guy stephen chamberlain. he died being hit by a car out jogging, which , to by a car out jogging, which, to be fair, i'm not making any claims. it's one of the most house of cards. sort of dodgy ways to go, isn't it? but a lot of people do die that way. >> i mean, well, people are saying because this guy dies on a yacht at the same time as that people, people are asking
2:05 am
questions on the internet and, you know, they will do inevitably, though, won't they? i mean, there's pretty much nothing that can happen these days that isn't put to down conspiracies. >> well, you know, being hit by a car, you first of all, the guy was running and you should not running. it's totally unsafe even if you're not hit by a car, especially if you've just been in a massive multi—billion fraud case and that you've just won and you're probably just so happy, why would you go running anyway? >> well, let's move on before lewis takes us down. a particularly deep rabbit hole, we're going to go to the front page of thursday's guardian. nick, what have they got? >> they've got uk police threaten extraditions to tackle sextortion criminals. >> what is sextortion? it's this horrible thing where you trick, for example, teenagers into sending intimate pictures of them and then you blackmail them of themselves and you blackmail them. >> yes. and in two cases, people have actually killed themselves related to this, or probably many cases. but they mentioned two here. so it's absolutely disgusting. and what they're saying is a lot of this happens in west africa, but they're saying you're not safe from prosecution because we're going to try and extradite you if you keep doing this. and actually this is good. and normally, you know, the guardian's rubbish, but this is actually good
2:06 am
because something needs to happen because it is a horrible , happen because it is a horrible, horrible thing. >> and it must be tricky to track down these people. i suppose they can do it through the ip address and that kind of thing, but it still must be quite tricky. but this is a very common thing now, isn't it? people sort of manipulating and tricking people into sexual activity online or whatever it might be. >> i think it's always it's always been this way. but i think the worst thing about it is, and i don't nick hasn't really pointed it out. it's just the government of this country now, the labour government, they want to go to everywhere in the entire world, and they want to go everywhere and just and just arrest you. >> yeah, but this is for an actual crime. i mean, the government we're talking about, we're going to tackle people like elon musk for, for supposedly stirring racial hatred on the basis of very little evidence, as far as i can see. but that's different. that's them trying to police the world's language. but this is about an actual crime. this is people killing our teenagers. >> a guy in south london, it was a guy in dunblane. these are foreign people tricking teenagers into killing themselves. so it's a very different proposition. i'm not saying. >> i'm not saying i'm against it. i wouldn't be against it if they they treated if they
2:07 am
weren't doing what they're doing. keir starmer is the is one of the most malevolent forces, one of the one of the most malevolent forces. >> you see my tweet i've done a whole. you don't think. >> you don't think it's incompetence rather than malevolence. no. >> well, you know what ben shapiro always says? you've got to believe it's incompetence. first you go with incompetent, first you do. >> i think that's right. >> i think that's right. >> i think that's right. >> i don't think he is. i think he's i think he's a commie. >> well, i mean, he is a trotskyist. he is stalin. there's no there's no getting around that. yeah, yeah. okay. well, let's move on to the i haven't read i haven't read it. >> nick's tweet. you should. >> nick's tweet. you should. >> it's many people are talking about it. >> well, let's not let's not publicise tweets at the moment because i did a very good one about a daschund. the other day. oh let's move on, though, to the cover of the telegraph on thursday. >> what we got, alzheimer's, wonder drug is given the go ahead and this is in the telegraph in the daily telegraph, which is, which is not the times. the times is the is the country's largest drug pushen is the country's largest drug pusher. and there they want to pusher. and there they want to push drugs. this is a $26,000 a year drugs to eliminate or to reduce the amyloid proteins in the brain. >> but this is a news story,
2:08 am
lewis, about the break this breakthrough drug. yes. any allegation that you're suggesting that the drug company has paid the telegraph to promote this is just simply unfounded? >> no, i'm not saying that. i didn't say that they're paid to it. i think i think, well, you insinuated quite strongly. no, i think they're all in it together. they all. they're all the whole thing. the press. >> well, that's all right, then. no, it's just a massive conspiracy. >> yes, i would say this is a conspiracy. yeah, they're all in it together. this is. >> they're all in it. >> they're all in it. >> isn't this just rather good news? if there is a drug? because alzheimer's is a horrible condition , and if there horrible condition, and if there is a drug that could potentially help people in this terrible situation, it's not good news. >> why? because number one, first of all, any of these drugs are not good news. this drug has side effects of brain swelling and bleeding. it costs 26. have side effects. yes, exactly. which is why there should be no drugs. this should. i'm sounding it right. you know what? i'm so mad. >> should there be. no. you're so mad at me. what are you mad at me? >> you're mad at me by like no other. no other house asks the questions like you're asking. they don't get to the bottom of
2:09 am
it. they just go, oh, lewis is being funny. and then they let it go. but. so i'm making a mistake by probing a little too much. >> yeah. you don't like being probed? >> well, i didn't say that. >> well, i didn't say that. >> why do you think his adverse reactions to drugs came from? >> well, there we go. there we go. but then, nick, you know, alzheimer's does affect a lot of people. it's really horrible, of coui'se. >> course. >> and there's a 27% decline it showed in sufferers. so that's massive. and yeah, the brain swelling didn't sound great. but if it can make a difference horrible disease. so yes i think it is actually good news. >> it's one of those things isn't it, that you do take the risk. you know, if there are risky side effects, if you have a condition of that severity. yeah you do. >> people are put off by the obscene pushing of this sort of questionable vaccine during covid. but, you know, i think it doesn't mean all medicines don't work, which is lewis's position. well, lewis , lewis, but can well, lewis, lewis, but can i just say you also say you shouldn't wash your hair or brush your teeth . brush your teeth. >> i don't think you should know. you don't need to. when you eat an all meat diet, you don't need to brush your teeth. well, some would disagree. some well people who you're not. no kisses for you tonight. the point. oh no. the point is, is, is that nick says it's a 27%
2:10 am
decrease. yeah. and is it a 27%. is it a 27% from the relative risk or whatever the other risk is? we don't know what the real you're thinking. 27%. that's huge. but it could be just an ever so slight like with the way cholesterol drugs work, which is minor 27% sounds like quite a lot, i know. well, that's what they do. it's probably a lie. i think it's £26,000. >> sounds pretty good to me. we're going to move on to this. this is the daily star. utter nonsense as usual. >> well, it's python bit my goolies. while i was on the bog. but now i'll get to the story, which is which. i hate these stories because you . as long as stories because you. as long as you try and forget them, as long as you remember them, you can't actually go to the loo because you're thinking about a python coming out. >> but what country is this in? because it's some exotic country where it could . where it could. >> well, they they have pythons in scotland. >> you don't think they're pythons in inverness or is that a monster in inverness? >> is it actually say it because it's on the. you haven't got the whole story. we don't know what the story. >> the thing is, pythons do not
2:11 am
unger >> the thing is, pythons do not linger in toilets. they wouldn't enjoy that. >> well, i think they would drown. are they under water? >> it's in and out and it's not lingering. it gets in and out. it does the job. >> but are they underwater? the toilet is in the water. >> this is one of the oldest urban myths that there are snakes and crocodiles in the toilet and that kind of thing. the daily star must really be desperate at the moment. just recycling these. >> you know what i believe this way more than i believe anything in the daily telegraph. this actually makes sense to me . actually makes sense to me. >> well, there we go. those are our front pages. done. but do join us after break. we're going to talking about robert f
2:12 am
2:13 am
2:14 am
with. >> welcome back to headliners. your first look at thursday's newspapers i'm andrew doyle i'm still joined by the nation's mad uncle louis schaefer. and the nation's middle child, nick dixon. we're going to kick off with thursday's mail. and we've solved the issue of prison overcrowding. we're giving up on arresting people. >> yeah, well, i think no, i
2:15 am
don't think we're giving up arresting people. we're just giving up on arresting some people. police fear further action to tackle prison overcrowding will leave them. the police, unable to make arrests if they basically what's happening ? happening? >> operation brinker. >> operation brinker. >> operation brinker is the is arresting people who've just spoken their minds. they're supposedly so basically they want to free up all this space in the prisons for people who've sent mean tweets, write 100, 1000 of them, whatever. i mean, the prison system is so minuscule in this country. i think it's 89,000 places, maybe 100,000. in america, they've got 2.5 million, but they make money off of it. >> why don't they just put all the people who've sent mean tweets on an island or something, like that? >> yeah, call that island britain and say there's freedom, but they're not. >> they're not going to do that, louis. they're not mad. nick, are you troubled by this? >> i'm very troubled by it. i mean, maybe if you want to solve the prison problem, don't have political prisoners would be a good start. i remember a while ago, i made a i said a phrase that became famous on the show. the apotheosis of anarcho tyranny. but i spoke too soon because we've reached whole new levels of tyranny. what starmer
2:16 am
is doing, as we all know, he's putting enemies of the regime in prison for absurd lengths of time, these three year sentences and so on. no suspended, go directly to jail and he's letting out criminals. it's operation joker, they should call it. it's what the joker or bane would do in batman. let's let out the criminals put in the political prisoners. it's obscene. >> you know what's troubling about this as well? you know, i've spoken to americans about americans don't get this. they don't get why, even if you say some really horrible and offensive, why on earth would the police be knocking on your door? it just doesn't fit in their mindset. and it shouldn't fit in ours either. you know, we're meant to be a free society. and yes, these people are saying horrible things, but the idea of them and the other thing about this is they're not pleading guilty because they know that, sorry, they are pleading guilty. they're pleading guilty. they're pleading guilty. they're pleading guilty because they know they'll be on remand for heaven knows how. >> they'll end up serving less time. >> and so it'll be quicker and until someone pleads not guilty and takes it all the way to the higher courts, this will go on and on. but a lot of these people are economically under under privileged and they can't afford to do that. >> what are they? what do they call that? when you put somebody in prison, say, we're not
2:17 am
letting you out until you admit that you've done it? yeah. people don't want to be in prison. whatever is. that's a tyranny. yes, it's called tyranny. yes, it's called tyranny. it's called tyranny. i can say this because i don't care about 617. i don't care about my career. but this guy, keir starmer and the labour party, this is the most evil thing the country is. >> what i would say to that, louis, is that this these laws have been on the statute books for quite some time. the tories did absolutely nothing, but the tories were supportive of this kind of hate speech law, and they were supportive of clamping down on protests. you know, this is not a partisan issue. i just think that labour is taking all of the tories worst ideas and ramping them up to 11. >> i agree with you. and someone should call in, you know , it should call in, you know, it should call in, you know, it should go to the supreme court. this is a first amendment violation and people have the second amendment here so they can. >> but we have a supreme court that was set up by new labour, which doesn't necessarily have the what about the first amendment? we don't have it . we amendment? we don't have it. we have a uncodified constitution thatis have a uncodified constitution that is based on precedent. >> what does that mean? >> what does that mean? >> being very uncodified right now, if it's uncodified, it means this country does not. at an earlier period. you're dominating too much, lewis. in
2:18 am
an earlier period in an earlier penod an earlier period in an earlier period of the neocons, they would send in troops to try and install democracy in this country. don't you think your country. don't you think your country would send in people? let's say you need to try and get democracy in this, because starmer is completely anti—democratic, as we know. >> it's very, very sad . okay. >> it's very, very sad. okay. we're going to move on now to thursday's telegraph. and nick is there a bulge in the taxman's pocket or is he just happy to see you? >> that's quite funny. so tax man pockets record 3 billion from nhs backlog i don't think it's an individual man andrew, but it's basically what it is there. there's these insurance premiums on private healthcare and they attacks and people don't necessarily realise how much their tax is called a hidden in plain sight tax because they're not realising they're paying 12% on health policies, with a higher 20% rate for other types of insurance. and people are doing this, of course, because of the obscene backlogs, which has got to 7.6 million in june. and the problem with this is now labour may, which probably means will, because they're not going to not take more tax money. there's fears that labour may raise the rate of this ipt, which is insurance premium tax . and the
2:19 am
insurance premium tax. and the problem is with that is people will then come out of private and they'll put pressure on the nhs. right. >> lewis, what do you think. >> lewis, what do you think. >> well, 95% of all medical treatment is unnecessary and could be. >> oh, i knew you were going to say that. >> well, i think it has to be said. >> can't you focus on the story rather than your crazy lewis theory, basic heuristics that just solve almost everything? >> yeah, well, i've seen it myself. people are watching. look at how great i look. i look amazing. you should have seen me seven years ago. five years ago it was a i was like, fat and bloated. i had diabetes and gout. >> one of those adverts late at night. i was fat and bloated. i had diabetes, but now i don't brush my teeth. >> you don't brush your teeth. your cholesterol is through the roof. you're only eating the corpses of livestock. that's all you eat water, dehydrated livestock. you're not even cooking the livestock . you're cooking the livestock. you're not even shaving the livestock. >> you're just eating your diet is the same as gollum's. yeah, you are wriggling fish. >> you're like, well, maybe there's a reason for that. and you're you're. i don't even want to tell people you're a vegetarian because it's so nasty. it is. you're nasty. you're not a vegan though.
2:20 am
>> it's actually worse. >> it's actually worse. >> it's actually worse. >> it's worse. no, it's not worse. yeah. it's worse. you just don't like the sight of me munching on pac choi because it's not healthy. >> i do no exercise. feel the muscles. >> we know, we know that. look at how. >> well, now that lewis has completely derailed that. so he actually forgot about the story we were meant to be covering. we're going to move on to thursday's times. lewis and snp are sick of your your kind. >> well, i'm sick of snp . i was >> well, i'm sick of snp. i was sick before they started hating the jews. anyway. brother of scot killed by hamas. hamas accuses snp. >> why do you say it like that? hamas that sounds like the musical of it with an exclamation mark. >> he's talking about what you eat, andrew, with your carrots, hummus, hummus. that's hummus. >> now look. so this is so this is a guy whose brother, very sadly and tragically, was killed. murdered, i should say murdered by hamas psychopaths. and hamas is psychopaths. well, yeah. that's right. and humza yousaf did go to the funeral. he's now accused him of jew washing that this was like a pr stunt to cover up what? i mean, do you think that's fair?
2:21 am
>> do i think it's a jew stunt? i don't know, i don't like that term juicing because it's even i don't understand it, but i can understand it. >> this was his. this was his stunt. this was his phrase. >> because, because, because the truth is, is that is that the guy he hates? he hates everybody. he's scottish. i've been to scotland. there's not enough sun. there's it's too much rain. yeah, it's a vitamin d deficiency . d deficiency. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and when their diet is horrible. so probably he's filled with hate. the fact is people hate the jews. that shouldn't that shouldn't bother the people who are watching out . the people who are watching out. they don't care if they hate the jews because you're not jewish. so don't care. of course they're coming. >> well, i, i dispute that. i mean, i don't nick doesn't. so, you know, there's two already. >> do you want to know something i don't think i don't think you do. but i think the fact is he's not sure about me. i don't know, but the problem here is he's got a problem with the snp's policy in terms of israel. >> that's the thing. well, firstly, i thought jew washing was what lewis schaffer does once a week. can i make that joke? it's a terrible joke, but or a month? not accurate. he doesn't once a month, once a yeah doesn't once a month, once a year. but it is queen elizabeth
2:22 am
the first. it's a comedy show and we're friends. it's a serious story, though. of course it's a horrible story, and it must be very frustrating, to say the least, to see, you know, politicians having these sort of photo ops when your brother has been killed. i mean, it's unimaginable really. and as he points out here, there was no there's no similar thing for other nations. you know, he goes, i didn't hear any such calls for his resignation with when they met, when they met the turkish, the guy from turkey , turkish, the guy from turkey, he's basically saying he doesn't care about turkey's oppression of kurds. he doesn't care about china. we should clarify this is israel. >> this is the snp suspending diplomatic relations with israel. and that's what he's upset about. and that's why he's saying retrospectively, the fact that you were at my brother's funeral, it was a kind of and now you're suspending the thing. yeah. exactly. right. so that's that's you can understand obviously, his grief and you can understand his scepticism, but i don't think we can be secure in saying that the snp have an anti—jewish stance. i think that's unfair. >> i think we can i think there's something very wrong about the snp. >> i would agree with that. >> i would agree with that. >> and whatever subject they
2:23 am
touch, you've got to i don't think i think jewish people would have to think very carefully about voting for any left wing parties. >> i mean, starmer has made it safe for sort of muslim gangs to roam around and doesn't treat them. the same as other people. i think the left has made jewish people less safe. >> okay, we're going to move on to the eye news now, nick and a dangerous communist government are going unchecked and so are china . china. >> yes. sadly true. funny but true. yeah. treasury and foreign office resisting crackdown on china. influence in uk. so there was this policy. tom tugendhat was this policy. tom tugendhat was very keen on it and it was to make china in the enhanced tier, which was a thing recommended by m15. so they would be seen as the highest level of security threat, which would mean that you'd have to give if you were working for the chinese government, you'd have to sign up for this , this first to sign up for this, this first thing, which is foreign influence registration scheme. but what labour apparently want to do is kind of reduce the threat to just political influence level, which is sort of a less severe level. and it's kind of it's a bit of a strange it's like a softening on china, which as your link sort of
2:24 am
implies, maybe it's not surprising because apparently she wants to meet up with starmer for some tips on how to oppress his people. >> yeah. very funny. lewis i think we should be concerned about china, but there are much more dangerous people who are living right in this country that we should be concerned about. >> we should be concerned about china. yeah. even me, you could say me. i'm on. i'm on your tv saying horrible things. i'm sorry for that. yeah, that. and you could tweet me if you want to tweet me and tell me i'm saying horrible things so you could agree with me. lewis schaffer at lewis schaffer. >> what a what a place to get a plug. i know in. you know, we're talking about china chinese politics. and you talk about your twitter account because because at the end of the day it's china. >> and china. >> and china. >> you're making no sense , >> you're making no sense, lewis. we're going to move on to this. this is a story about a kennedy potentially back in the cabinet. interesting yeah. >> so this is this is a change i think people have seen the democratic. anyway. trump will consider cabinet role for robert f kennedy jr if he drops out of the race. he's been running for president as an independent. yes. and he hasn't gotten a bit
2:25 am
of leeway because people people people like another chance . but people like another chance. but that's not the way american politics. >> well, there was a rumour, wasn't there, that he was thinking of supporting kamala harris at one point. so this could go either way. but there was also that leaked recording of donald trump phoning robert kennedy jr and sort of saying, you should come on board. that got accidentally leaked by kennedy's team. and he did apologise for that. but, nick, this would be interesting, wouldn't it? i mean, if he if kennedy does join trump's ranks, if trump rewards him with a place in the cabinet, yeah, that would be a huge boost for the trump campaign. >> massive boost and trump will win. i've already i already believe trump will win unless they rig it and this will be a massive boost, especially as kamala harris is so weak. and what was really interesting so nicole shanahan, who's rfk jr's running mate, did a video on this. she did an interview on a podcast and she talked about the attacks from the democrats and how none of the attacks have come from republicans. it's all come from republicans. it's all come from republicans. it's all come from the dnc. and she said they use lawfare against them. they sue them. they put plants into their campaign. she said this was a clear choice. they called. they spent millions on taking out rfk jr. and she even
2:26 am
went as far as saying the democrats have corrupted our fair and free democracy. so she's completely disillusioned by the behaviour of these corrupt democrats, as she puts it. so now this. corrupt democrats, as she puts it. so now this . so now they are it. so now this. so now they are naturally thinking about switching. and because they don't want to, they it's whether rfk jr can win , which basically rfk jr can win, which basically he can't. so he doesn't want to block trump. they take more votes from trump than they do from the democrats. so they're very concerned about these sort of horrendous corrupt democrats winning and turning america communist. i'm paraphrasing there. so they're going to back trump. and i've heard rumours he could be attorney general. i don't know if that will happen, but some sort of role with trump. >> of course we've had this before haven't we, louis? we had an independent run and sort of split the vote. this is there's always an independent. >> it always takes votes away and people make a conscious decision. so you can't this guy is mr king democrats brother. no king democrats. brother kennedy son. yes. his father was robert f kennedy. and the democrats you hate you know, whatever you think about the democrats, they're murderers. is that kind of i mean, i think that's a bit
2:27 am
much. >> it would be interesting to see the cia practically admitted that they killed kennedy in 1963. >> they absolutely did not admit rfk. you can check that we can we can say is that rfk jr believes the cia were involved in his father's murder. >> he does say that. he does say that. >> but trump and rfk get in and release the files. i mean, they both they both better get extra security. that's all i'm saying. >> i mean, this is very, very interesting because trump has said he will. well, last time trump was in, he said he would release the files and he didn't. now he said that he will. i just think that needs to be put to bed, you know, obviously. but you know, we do have to emphasise the cia absolutely have not admitted to that. i mean, that's just a lie. >> it's like what? that isn't the lie. >> well, where did they admit this in your mind? >> i, donald trump told me on a tv, i don't know, i don't remember, i don't take what i say. i'm just as we would say a schmo on the tv is that is that is that the democrats and i of i was a democrat. i the first person i ever voted for was jemmy carter. jemmy. >> that's how old he is . no, i >> that's how old he is. no, i thought it was abraham lincoln. jemmy carter was jemmy carter. no, he wouldn't he didn't vote for lincoln. >> he didn't like his beard.
2:28 am
>> he didn't like his beard. >> although he probably was killed by the cia. >> yeah, i think lincoln was killed by the cia. i think we can say that quite conclusively. >> 1960. they orchestrated it. lyndon johnson orchestrated a win for the democrats , 1960 win for the democrats, 1960 1963. the kennedy thing, 1968. this is dodgy , the whole thing, this is dodgy, the whole thing, 1968. but the whole thing is these these people are dodgy. you just got to watch the dnc all right, well, if you want to learn more about american history, just check out lewis's twitter account. >> no, that's the end of part two. but do come back for part three. we're going to be hearing about anti—feminist video games and children
2:29 am
2:30 am
2:31 am
right. welcome back to headliners, your first look at thursday's newspapers. we're going to jump straight back in with the guardian. and a man in pakistan has been charged with spreading false claims as if was his name, i believe, as if.
2:32 am
>> as if. yes, it was his name. no, it's not exactly as is. it's is it as if as if. yeah. as if. and this is as it is. that's very funny. that is funny. i thought it was going to be a joke about me and my outrageous things that i said. >> no, no, it's a joke about someone's name in pakistan. >> as if that matters. of course they got funny names anyway. man charged in pakistan for alleged roles. role alleged role in spreading false claims before uk riots . there's a guy in pakistan riots. there's a guy in pakistan who said that he announced the name of the pack of the guy who supposedly killed those three little girls in southport, and this was the this was the big thing because it was a it looked like a news site and it was called channel three now. >> yeah. and this is where this false claim that this was an asylum seeker who was on an m16 watch list and all the rest of it, but it wasn't true. none of it, but it wasn't true. none of it was true. and it got spread all, in fact, a name was even named. and it caused. in fact, some people have gone to prison for repeating the misinformation. >> one woman who is a muslim name. so people in this country
2:33 am
thought it was a muslim, but this was actually some guy in pakistan doing it allegedly. >> right. >> right. >> and he was been he's been arrested by the pakistanis , arrested by the pakistanis, right? yes. and the pakistanis are arresting him on behalf of the english, because the english want to arrest everyone around the world. >> here's a problem i've got with that. obviously, that kind of misinformation is really dodgy and hugely irresponsible. you still can't arrest people for making things up because otherwise you'd be there all day. you'd have to arrest everyone, politicians, media, you know? where do you where do you know? where do you where do you where do you stop? >> yeah, i agree, but i also think it's fascinating that the british people were blamed and the so—called far right was blamed for spreading misinformation. but it comes from pakistan. so that is actually significant. it's a bit like the euros where there's always remember the euros where it was all that it was all racism and all that, and it turned out to be coming from foreign accounts. yes. so that is interesting. so we've got are people going to apologise and say, oh it wasn't just but they are they are actually extraditing this guy. >> i mean, you know, they're doing something but this is this is the minor issue. >> the issue is really bad. we shouldn't be going. we british
2:34 am
people shouldn't be going around the world arresting people and doing, you know, clearly if you go and set fire to a building or attack a mosque or something, those are the people you arrest. surely not that bill, not someone who tweeted something out. if that building is like grenfell, which is basically tiled in fire in really inflammable stuff , which is what inflammable stuff, which is what this country is, people are so upset about the mass immigration without their consent . they without their consent. they they've seen their country. >> you still have to hold people to account for illegal activity. >> foreign influences were trying to create problems in our country. i think i've got more sympathy for cracking down on those people, but yes, cracking down on english people who've just posted something bad. well, it's horrific. >> the woman who went to prison actually posted. if this is true at the start of the tweet and then named for that. yeah, she got prison sentence i think. yeah. yeah. >> so it's scary point is it's the government of this country which refuses to take responsibility as part of the part of well, that's a different conversation, along with the useless tories, for letting anybody know. >> final word for the regime are terrified about musk's x because it is a massive threat to them. >> they can't control it. even musk can't control it. it's a
2:35 am
radical new thing. it's like the gutenberg press. it's like the internet itself and the regime are terrified. yeah. >> and maybe and maybe the last point there, they're upset. they're upset with what's going on in pakistan because they give pakistan so much money. they can control pakistan. they're not going to be able to control america. when donald trump is there. he's going to give them he's going to tell him to. >> louis has to have the last word. you know, this nick thing, it's sorry because this is such an important i forgot what it was like. >> this is the end of the world. andrew. >> sorry. few minutes. >> sorry. few minutes. >> is it? is it? >> let's not fall out over it. let's just. >> let's not fall out over it. let'sjust. let's just >> let's not fall out over it. let's just. let's just deal with it. move on now to the times . it. move on now to the times. chinese video game has denounced feminism . so what's going on, nick? >> i don't really know. it's china's global hit video game. says yes to fun, but no feminism. why are you why is your knee touching my knee? that's not allowed in the touching nick's knee. so this game is called black myth. wukong and wukong, i believe is a monkey king and this is apparently a huge game, right? >> this is a huge game . massive. >> this is a huge game. massive. >> this is a huge game. massive. >> totally huge. great numbers. and it's, it's the monkey king and video games which once bore the stigma of digital heroin,
2:36 am
can now be seen as a carrier of culture and knowledge. so it's whether china's kind of embracing it, but it comes with a strange list of requirements or sort of suggestions from the people making it which say, enjoy the game . they say do not enjoy the game. they say do not include politics, violence, nudity, feminist propaganda. >> what do they mean by that? >> what do they mean by that? >> they're sort of they're sick, andrew, of feminist propaganda in their video game . i've got no in their video game. i've got no idea. but yeah, i think we're all sick of feminist anything that's in the dnc they're sick of. >> this is just this is just china's attempt to get a brand. they're a useless sorry. is that china? what are you going to say there, luke? i was going to say something bad about china. it's a lovely country. but the truth is, the communist regime is turning into uselessness. they had a bit of opening. i think you're perfectly entitled to criticise the communist regime, the ccp. >> but i don't think you can say china as a country is useless. >> why can't? well, i'm saying they have no brands. this is the first bit of branding and it's not going to last. okay, well name a china andrew. you're smart. name a chinese brand, a
2:37 am
chinese brand of what? >> of anything. alibaba. that's massive. >> alibaba one thing and they're just sailing past the chinese. no but you haven't you haven't named like there's no chinese car. there's no chinese. >> oh i see what you mean. there's nothing about confucius. >> that's a person isn't it. >> that's a person isn't it. >> yeah. doesn't he get a brand? >> yeah. doesn't he get a brand? >> i think he's a brand because he's so often quoted. >> yeah, he's so often quoted. exactly. he probably gets some money every time he's quoted, you know. >> well, i haven't seen him. is he around maybe. >> yeah, he's probably in vegas. he's probably got a residency. >> he china is in trouble. this is what people shouldn't be afraid of because chinese are about to go. >> but it's not the chinese people's fault. the so—called lao beijing, which i love because it means old hundred names. they're the kind of populist people. that's the every every man in china. it's the oppression of the ccp. that's the issue. yes it is. >> well, let's move on to the telegraph now. and our taxes are funding chinese opera. finally, a policy i can agree with. >> yeah. this is this is in the telegraph taxpayers fund. chinese opera has foreign aid handed to overseas regions ncher handed to overseas regions richer than parts of the uk. this was done by the institute of economic affairs and i think
2:38 am
they just want to they just want to say that we're wasting our money. britain is no longer a rich country. britain is one third poorer than america, or maybe 50% poorer than america does. >> these stats that we are poorer than the poorest state in america, which is mississippi. and we're poorer than all of it. >> and that's really bad. that's really bad . really bad. >> think of mississippi in little huts, chinese opera that sounds to me like a decent investment, though. >> what do you make? >> what do you make? >> no, no. they supported an all female yue opera. and you look at it and you go, we're still giving 8 million a year. china. although it's gone down from 82,000,000in 2019, even though they've got way more money than us, it's absolutely insane. the second largest economy. >> but is even that even if the country is rich, why are we giving them the money? why are we giving them money? they're our enemy. wake up! >> we're poor here. we're dirt poon >> we're poor here. we're dirt poor. look at most of the country. dirt poor. one reason, people, it's not the sole reason. immigration is the main reason. immigration is the main reason. but one of the reasons for unrest is people are poor. their wages haven't gone up and we're giving money to cycle lanesin we're giving money to cycle lanes in mexico and road schemes in malaysia. and this is where the third world, where almost the third world, where almost the third world country, if you speak to poor people, people on the poverty line, they will be
2:39 am
pleased that money is going to chinese opera because they recognise the value of that medium. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> don't you think? i think people at your poverty line and my poverty line does. >> i think it's money well spent. let's move on to the independent now. and this is quite a disturbing story about a pr disaster. who's got this? >> yeah, zara's latest pr disaster. i know we're all big fans of zara shows a much more disturbing high street chain trend. so what it is, it's zara is a shop. >> it's a shop that sells female clothes. >> is that what they call them? >> is that what they call them? >> female clothes? >> female clothes? >> i'm calling them female. the clothes themselves wish to identify as female. i've been on holiday, all right? i'm not making. i'm making still more sense than louis schaefer, but not as a woman. >> garments woman. >> garments woman. >> yeah, yeah, i don't know. we all we all women here feminine attire for different reasons, but we all have our reasons for staying away from women. >> so what what does zara done? >> so what what does zara done? >> they've done some actually quite gross. >> they had clothes for children and they're going around saying the perfect snack or take a bite and they show two halves of a cut strawberry. it is disgusting. >> well that's the that's the logo on the shirt. we should say it's a child's shirt to pull the item. >> it's much like balenciaga where it's brought in that kind
2:40 am
of disgusting satanic stuff. it's always this push towards sexualising children, which is disgusting and we should resist. >> are you sure that's what they were doing? because, i mean, they're saying, look, it was just a picture of a strawberry saying, take a bite, take a snack. it's about how fun it is to eat strawberries. i mean, that's not necessarily sexual. i mean, i would agree that there have been some clearly sexualised things for girls in various stores, even the fact that marks and spencer's had a huab that marks and spencer's had a hijab for girls at the age of three. i mean, that implies that there's something sexual about three year old girls, doesn't it, if you're covering their. >> no, no, i mean, i think you should take that back because whatever they whatever is being doneis whatever they whatever is being done is fine. and anyway, i don't even know that just for balance. i don't even know why we're worried about this. soon everyone's going to be wearing whatever. >> but zara are saying that it wasn't deliberately sexualised, but they understand why people have interpreted it as being. >> we've all seen that i remember i was in, first of all, i know all about this because my father was a patent and trademark lawyer. >> okay, on that note, we're going to go. we've got one more section to go, please do come after the break to
2:41 am
2:42 am
2:43 am
2:44 am
welcome back to headliners, your first look at thursday's newspapers. we're going to jump straight back in with the mirror. this piece of history is shrouded in mystery. oh, okay. >> this is massively significant. it's atheists who tried to prove shroud of turin was fake, becomes christian after alarming evidence. and this is david rolfe, who made a whole film about it, thinking, oh, i'm an atheist. i'll prove this nonsense wrong. and in case you don't know what the shroud of turin is, it's the shroud that was allegedly on jesus in the tomb . and it's peter put the tomb. and it's peter put linen on him. it's there in luke 2412 from memory. >> and there was a test, wasn't there, of some of the fabric which determined that it was from the middle ages? yes. >> however, that proved false. that proved that that was just that piece of the fabric had been repaired and reconditioned by nuns or something. the actual shroud of train goes back 2000 years. it would be correct to
2:45 am
the time of jesus and you can't recreate it. it gives you a kind of a photo negative. you can't. it's a bit complicated and there's no way that it could be done. there's no trace of dye or pigment. and no, the guy has actually said, i'll give you $1 million if you can recreate this. no one can recreate it. yeah. >> i mean, there's been a lot of books and essays written about this and a lot of youtube videos on it. yeah. i mean, it's very interesting. i mean, there's one theorist who says this couldn't have been produced unless the individual in question was was dead , was. and so this is these dead, was. and so this is these these wounds and things are they markings match. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> they match precisely the stigmata and all the rest of it. where do you stand on this, lewis? >> well, since i studied under samuel. samuel from the university of cincinnati, i think something is that many, many years ago, we learned we learn a little bit about this stuff. it's all it's all bs. there were millions of i don't want to say anything bad about christianity because christianity, what a surprise. >> you're you're poo pooing jesus. no one saw that coming. >> jesus . but i mean, whatever >> jesus. but i mean, whatever it is. >> but does this, does it
2:46 am
matter? i mean, i would have thought that people who have faith in christianity, they don't require this kind of evidence for that , do they? evidence for that, do they? >> this guy, this guy, this guy, they didn't want to believe. yeah. and those are the people who are the most likely to fall for this kind of stuff. >> do you believe that ludicrous sophistry people, the sceptic atheists are the people most likely to believe those people. >> people who don't believe in those hypnotism. people who don't believe in hypnotism are the most easily hypnotised. well, you can look that up. >> well, look, we can't get inside his brain. we don't really know. but it's an interesting story nonetheless, lewis, the express now. and to quote shakespeare, all the world's a stage. but which way to the dressing room? >> yes. it's funny . >> yes. it's funny. archaeological breakthrough is doorway to shakespeare's dressing room, found in norfolk, this is in king's lynn, which. and norfolk is one of the largest, largest . is it a largest, largest. is it a county? i guess county in britain. and there's actually shakespeare's theatre at 600 years old. >> and the oldest is saint george's guildhall. kingsley. it's the oldest uk theatre uk
2:47 am
theatre. >> and they took and they and shakespeare has been there and they think so. they took down some old stuff and there was a passageway so they said if shakespeare was here at the time, he probably went, shakespeare was here. >> i mean, he's a bit i mean, they , they think that they, they think that shakespeare's theatre company was here during the plague years because obviously they were outside of london at that time and would have performed here. that being the case, i mean, the headune that being the case, i mean, the headline says a doorway to shakespeare's dressing room . shakespeare's dressing room. that's a bit misleading. yeah, it might have been a passageway to the place where the players would have got changed. yes. >> so it's not really big news. this is a non—story. it's like in america, every single town on the east coast has has a building that says george washington slept here even. >> well, i mean, you know, in fact, in oxford at the pizza express, they think shakespeare stayed there because it used to be a hotel at the time, or an inn at the time that he was around. but that's so speculative. people love to do this sort of stuff. it is. >> and, you know, it was. >> and, you know, it was. >> this was an actual theatre, though. >> shocking thing. tim fitzhigham, do you know that
2:48 am
name? no isn't he a comedian from. we know this guy. >> do we? yes. i've never met this guy. >> i've mispronounced it, >> i've mispronounced it, >> nick. but this is. you know, it's interesting, archaeologically speaking. you know, the fact that they found a hidden passage in an old theatre. that's interesting. >> yeah. they're always trying to debunk stuff about shakespeare, though, aren't they? like that ridiculous claim that he didn't write any of the plays? >> yeah, that is insane. >> yeah, that is insane. >> they're always finding something new. >> what i love about that is when they say the earl of oxford wrote it, even though he died in 1604, which meant that he couldn't have possibly written any of the later plays or unless he did it dead. >> you're kind of an expert on shakespeare, aren't you? yeah. you just mentioned all the world's a stage speech. that speech is based on the saint augustine's idea of something like it's called the sixth age or something. the idea that the culture is gradually declining. well, getting worse. and then jesus comes back at the end. and if the shroud of turin is true, that means we are in. he's correct. we're in a linear progression towards jesus. >> knew you'd get the shroud, whereas if he's wrong, then it's the cyclical mode of history where we have fall, we have collapses, and then it goes up again, am i right anyway, about what i just said about shakespeare? >> well, although he gives it to jack, right? if jack is a
2:49 am
malcontent character, so it's actually he might not be meant to agree with jack. sorry, i got into it more more details on can i attack christianity? >> people are going to be watching this and saying, lewis shaver's anti. i'm not pro—christian, but christians, our team, this country are we just now? >> no longer focusing on the story. we're just that story. >> i didn't know what to say about that story. they found a bit of they found a room. there was nothing to say about it. so i thought, i'll go into some things i've been reading. no. >> fair enough. we're going to move on to the telegraph now, nick, people are abusing self—checkout machines. i always thought in the supermarket. you're asking for trouble, aren't you? because you're tempting people to be criminals. >> to quote lewis schaffer, this makes me so angry. this is self—checkout. shoppers admit they use tills to steal and they're saying, look, yeah, people weigh things. they weigh the wrong item. they lie about it. do they? though? apparently they do. but apparently it's adding at least £0.06 to every store transaction that people say. but the problem is now people now have to steal to keep up, you know, because now they're going to price things more because people are steal. so it's a chicken and egg. >> i'm shocked by this. it says
2:50 am
1 in 8 adults do this. yeah, yeah. do they put the wrong item in the self—scan hire some staff, then you knew this was going to happen. >> do you know what really annoys me now in sainsbury's you're not allowed a bag. you're not allowed a bag. that would be two. you've got to punish you and make you not. so you have to abandon your till walk miles to try and find a bag. then someone tries to start using your till and they're saying they have to scan the bag themselves, which is inherently saying i'm going to steal, which i find insulting because we're in a low trust society now. >> that's the key phrase, isn't it, lewis? are we in a low trust society? i mean, why can't we have self—checkout without people, you know, resorting to thievery? well, 1 in 8 is not very high. it's pretty high. >> seven, seven aren't stealing. that's quite good. >> i would like to see 1 in 800. yeah, people as a minimum. >> they're not thieves in this country . at least they're real country. at least they're real engush country. at least they're real english people. but they are thieves. this is a country based on thievery. >> make your mind up. what are you talking about ? you talking about? >> okay. fair play. country in the world. we're known for it. across the world. yes, the british empire. >> i guarantee you, every engush >> i guarantee you, every english person has a. >> i know, lewis, don't you think it's depressing that
2:51 am
people can't be trusted not to steal from supermarkets? i think it's outrageous. >> no, i don't think it's outrageous. i think i think because they're supermarkets, you know, they're not owned by one guy. it's not mrs. mrjones behind the counter or whatever. and so they feel that they can i mean, i think i think it is you stole that suit. >> you did steal that suit. you were boasting about it earlier. anyway. look, the show is nearly oven anyway. look, the show is nearly over. let's have another look at thursday's front pages. the daily mail leading with superyacht hope lost as divers find five bodies. the daily telegraph has got alzheimer's . telegraph has got alzheimer's. wonder drug is given the go ahead.the wonder drug is given the go ahead. the front cover of the guardian is uk police threaten extradition to tackle sextortion criminals. the eye has got labour has no real plan to fix uk sewage crisis . and the times uk sewage crisis. and the times divers find five bodies in wreck of super yacht and the daily star. that nonsense about the python, which we discussed earlier, i apologise for that. that's it for tonight's show. thanks ever so much to my guests, lewis and to nick. headliners is back here tomorrow at 11:00 with leo kearse and paul cox and kerry marx. and if
2:52 am
you're watching the 5 am. repeat, then do stick around because now it's time for breakfast. >> i'm sorry andrew. >> i'm sorry andrew. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news >> hi there, time for the latest forecast from the met office for gb news, an unsettled 36 to 48 hour period to come for many parts of the uk. a series of low pressure systems queuing up to arrive from the atlantic, one heading towards iceland, another one containing the remnants of hurricane ernesto. that means, although it's a fairly typical area of low pressure that we see in the north atlantic at this time of year, it does contain air of tropical origins and a lot of moisture. all that moisture will be dumped over western scotland, northwest england , parts of wales and england, parts of wales and northern ireland overnight, and the winds will pick up as well, with gales 50 to 60 mile per hour wind gusts around the irish sea coast first thing thursday, as well as the hills of north
2:53 am
wales northern england and southern scotland could cause some transport disruption during the thursday morning period. dner the thursday morning period. drier towards the southeast a lot of cloud around and a breezy start to the day, but the wet weather pushing into south—west england, wales and northwest scotland and having dumped 100 to 150mm of rain over the hills of western scotland, there's the risk of disruption during thursday morning, risk of disruption during thursday morning , even risk of disruption during thursday morning, even as that clears away the risk of localised flooding. now brighter skies do return to scotland and northern ireland, although with a scattering of showers moving in from the west, whilst the frontal system pushes south eastwards as a weakening feature , eastwards as a weakening feature, no more than a few dribs and drabs of rain by the time it gets to south—east of england on thursday afternoon. otherwise sunshine late on across wales, the midlands and northern england. but the same can't be said for friday. a very unsettled start to the day. wet and windy once again as another low moves across the uk. it does
2:54 am
pull through quickly and brighter skies once again into the afternoon, but with further showers coming into the north—west. and that sets the scene for the bank holiday weekend. now for england, wales and northern ireland, it is a bank holiday and we can expect a mix of sunny spells and showers, a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on
