8:05 pm
broadcaster, lawyer and futurist andrew eborn surprised you're not in a spacesuit. and the comedians ryan mcdonnell and albert and ella, you've had quite an interesting day. >> i've had an okay day, you know, just went on. went on a bike ride. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> what was interesting about this bike ride, ale. >> you know, there was quite a few people there. yeah. >> anything else? >> anything else? >> not many clothes on. >> not many clothes on. >> yeah, we've got some pictures here. >> which it was the world naked bike ride. >> it's the world naked bike ride. naked bike ride and fell off. i saw you on this team. i was driving along this road with my hood. >> that's you. >> that's you. >> and i yelled out the window. >> and i yelled out the window. >> i was like, hey, how's it going? >> and my wife just thought i was shouting at a random naked woman, which i would have done anyway. so fair enough, anyway, let's start off the show. it's now time to go through the winners and losers of the week in caster blast. now, winners and losers of the week in caster blast . now, when winners and losers of the week in caster blast. now, when you go to a comedy gig, you expect there to be a punchline or two. but not a punch up, hopefully. but not a punch up, hopefully. but this poor comedian's jokes clearly didn't go down well.
8:06 pm
let's take a look. so this is spanish comedian jaime caravaca being punched by alberto pujol . being punched by alberto pujol. nato. that name actually sounds like it is spanish. >> gelato is there, isn't it? it's got to be good. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> so we can't, you know, due to due to regulations, we can't show the actual punch landing, but it does take quite a quite a wallop to the side of the head. while i wouldn't normally approve of a comedian being threatened and punched in the head, wait until you hear what head, wait until you hear what he did. so alberto, the attacker is described in the media as far right, which probably means he's a regular guy. he posted a picture of his baby on social media, and the left wing comedian jaime posted horrific sexualised comments underneath. now ryan , you've been performing now ryan, you've been performing for years, have you? have you been threatened or punched on stage at all? >> i mean, i've been threatened. >> i mean, i've been threatened. >> i've also witnessed other people being punched, but weirdly, i've never been punched, what i liked well, weirdly, weirdly, i mean, you work with me all you understand. and there was two things about this that i really loved, right? first of all, i was watching
8:07 pm
this on the way in on the train, listening to it on my headphones, and it was a bit loud and i genuinely thought that that was glaswegian to begin with, because i could not. right. the second thing is there are two brilliant laws in work here. one is the right to free speech. he gets to say whatever he wants. the second one is mess around and find out the laws of consequence. exactly, exactly. yeah.i consequence. exactly, exactly. yeah. i mean, you say stuff like that, you get a dick in the head. that's that's the way that it has always been and the way that it should always be henceforth as well. speaking as a father, that's just the way it goes down, isn't it? yeah, absolutely. >> and i mean, andrew. yeah. they've now sort of made up, they've apologised. but the only thing oh what a shame you don't want them making up. >> i mean this had all like it had all of the delicious measurements of things like chris rock and will smith. you remember from the oscar thing, you got all that sort of. but they had a much bigger audience. i was watching the video. they had an audience of two in this sort of thing. so he obviously he doubled his audience as a result of this guy coming along because he waited, didn't he? he posted well, actually abhorrent comments. they were horrible
8:08 pm
comments. they were horrible comments. they were horrible comments. the first thing they weren't funny, but also it was just stupid. it was about a kid. and so on and so forth. awful. but about a baby. so completely wrong. but for him to go along to this gig and i should say he doubled the audience, it really was just two people in the audience and to suddenly slap him. but it wasn't in the same way as will smith and that sort of stuff, because i think that that sort of got headlines around the world. this guy, he did sound glaswegian. i think you're right, but this is legion as well, punching, you know, going to a stage performance and punching somebody on stage. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> but like, did you see the way he, he went up on stage and this was the guy who was fronting it all out, acting the big man on social media, away from everybody. and then as soon as he came up and he didn't even punch him, it was just an open handed slap, and he cowered in the corner like a coward for the whole time as well. >> pathetic. >> pathetic. >> yeah, yeah. have you seen any violence on stage? it's interesting. andrew brings up the will smith slap because i thought, you know, considering will smith has played muhammad ali. yeah, he's pretty weak slap. >> oh it was. yeah it was a terrible slap wasn't it. barely any take your wife's name out of youn any take your wife's name out of your. exactly that sort of stuff. it was extraordinary. wasn't yeah. i think his wasn't it. yeah. i think his wife would have done more damage. i think she would have done actually. but he got a ten year ban. and i think that's two years ago. it was. and so he's not allowed to go there. and receive any awards that he might
8:09 pm
otherwise a result it. otherwise win as a result of it. no more oscars , no more oscars. no more oscars, no more oscars. >> they've got to post the oscars in a jiffy bag. >> that's what's going to happen. so i wonder what's going to happen to guy who to happen to this guy who nobody's ever heard of beforehand. know you're in the beforehand. i know you're in the comedy circuit as much as anything. we've never heard of this guy. this will go all over the place. >> now, maybe you should come and punch me when i'm on stage. >> do that? >> yeah. should we do that? >> yeah. should we do that? >> should just staging >> should we just start staging it for the stage? >> why not do it? no. leave on her, all right? >> i mean, it's called a showdown , right? come on. showdown, right? come on. >> i should be worried about the consequences. >> i don't know if i could take it back. >> no, i think you should be scared. i mean it. >> well, it didn't launch. he was obviously amazing, but jim jefferies famously got smashed. the comedy store in london, and that really propelled him to stardom. yeah, yeah. good work. >> i think it really depends on what the material is and what the reason is. i mean, jim jefferies, i think he was just punched by somebody who was angry about his material, and it was good material. so, you know, that obviously, you know, gets attention and people are on jim jefferies side . i think if you jefferies side. i think if you post comments on social media that sexualised comments about a baby, man, nobody's going to be like buying a ticket for that show. >> i think it's so justified.
8:10 pm
like, i'm not i'm not a parent. but if anyone said that about my nephew, yeah, online, fine. i mean, yeah, i would i'd time that. i'd be going to the show. i'd be getting ready to punch someone because it's about kids. yeah, yeah. and when it's about kids and it's not just material and because it is online, you don't actually know if they are going to do anything. yeah. do you mean it's kind of like they're hiding behind the wall. thatis they're hiding behind the wall. that is the internet. so then when you take that wall that is the internet away and you go, well, oh look, real life mess around and find out. >> the great advantage is the great advantage. it gives me a chance to use. the line i always use on this show is that if you want to draw a crowd, start a fight. that's a pt. barnum . you fight. that's a pt. barnum. you get that click, you get the t shirt and get it sorted. well doctor anthony fauci is under fire over his part in covid guidance. >> doctor fauci told a us house subcommittee the six foot guideline just sort of appeared and there was no science behind it. he also admitted in the january interview that there was little science that backed requiring children to wear masks in public and at schools for
8:11 pm
almost two years. i mean, this would have been considered a conspiracy theory not long ago. theidea conspiracy theory not long ago. the idea that doctor fauci was just making these things up, just making these things up, just like the covid lab leak or vaccine harm or lockdowns being bad for us, or natural immunity being effective, or ppe fraud, these were all considered conspiracy theories. at some point i think we're at the point where i consider conspiracy theories just to be spur boiler alerts. now, remember, we were told to follow the science. it turns out these guys were just making it up. i mean, andrew, it seems like we shut down the economy and our lives based on wins. >> it is scandalous and it never let the truth stand in the way of a good story. they work on that sort of basis. but but the reality is this is that if the science wasn't there and we're so reliant on experts and actually people should question everything and all those who turned out and think about conspiracy theory, it's always used as a phrase just to dismiss an argument, isn't it? i was a conspiracy . go away. the reality conspiracy. go away. the reality is, conspiracy theorists only need to be right once. yeah, and you look at that sort of stuff, and now it's all coming.
8:12 pm
unpacked apologies are due all round. no we didn't. it's made of cheese. we don't want to go up there. it stinks. are you work on that sort of answer? no, but people should apologise now . but people should apologise now. all the people who stood up and been a lot of people on this channel as well, have been speaking up vocally about it for years. they were all shut down and that's wrong. >> i mean, surely if it says anything it says that we shouldn't let people people were having youtube channels taken down because they discussed things like this that later turned out to be true. maybe we should just allow freedom of speech. >> but this, the thing . it's >> but this, the thing. it's always comes down to freedom of speech. but then someone does something and then they want to cancelit something and then they want to cancel it again. so i think we all just need to agree the fact we're going to have freedom of speech and you're going to get upset and people might get punched in the face. yeah >> so yeah, this is another guy who just hates children . who just hates children. >> just mask the mask all the time. but on a very wide a global scale anyway, president biden appears to have struggled again at another major event, this time at a d—day celebration i >> -- >> the 46th president, who actually looked older than the veterans who stormed the
8:13 pm
beaches, appeared to try and sit down when no chair was present, was present and couldn't quite work out what to do . looking work out what to do. looking rather uncomfortable, there was fierce speculation that may have soiled himself. let's take a look . look. >> distinguished guests , please >> distinguished guests, please welcome the honourable lloyd j. austin >> and we cut. we cut there for some reason, but. >> well, that was fairly obvious. that's the evidence, my lord. thank you. absolutely. well, great. there well done. >> he bends over in the full and the full video went over for a long, long time. does everybody's kind of looking at him being like , you know, him being like, you know, because obviously whenever he can be hidden, he's his handlers hide him and keep him away from from the from those sort of mostly his handlers were right behind him and they got pebbled ice. >> so that's why we had to cut that one. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> so i mean, do you think biden's going to make it to the next election? hell, it feels like i mean i mean , as an alive
8:14 pm
like i mean i mean, as an alive person at this point, as an alive person , like forget alive person, like forget everything else. >> like being the in charge of the most powerful country in the world. yeah is he going to live? yeah. that's what we've got to look at him staring into space as well. whether he's pooed himself like we shouldn't be discussing whether we like the leader of the free world, i did, air quotations, but i'm not on camera. so you didn't see it. and has poured himself. yeah, that's what we've got to. and i don't think we should be discussing that. i think we should be discussing serious things that the president's doing, not whether we, you know, needs to change his. >> i still say he's got to use the best. the best thing joe biden can use is the anagram. i keep saying he still hasn't done it. so the anagram in the world's most divided things, wars all over the place, joe biden is an anagram of be joined. and that should be his thing on the t shirt, together with the other bits and pieces. and he could be out there and doing that. that could be his message if he can get the words
8:15 pm
out. and i think work on that. sir davey be joined. come on. that's a great thing. >> i mean, he's trump's greatest asset at the moment. i mean, people, if either of them, if either of them were replaced by somebody else , they, you know, somebody else, they, you know, the representative parties would see a huge jump in the polls. and i think, you know, trump is going to definitely win against joe biden. do you think, you know, the democrats should really be thinking about how they can take him out? i know they've got some history. i hate to go back to conspiracy theories, but, you know, somebody on a grassy knoll, but, you know, do you do you think they need to, you know, get him to stand down somehow? >> i mean, standing down was the issue that he suffered from . issue that he suffered from. >> standing down and staring into space, i mean, what do you think, andrew? do you. i think that trump's going to. >> i predicted this years ago. what i love is that even if he doesin what i love is that even if he does in jail, the rules of the constitution basically say you only have to be over 35. well, he'd done that, double that at least 77. you basically have to have lived in the states for 14 years, and it doesn't matter. and you need to be a us citizen. it doesn't matter that you're a convict and actually, it was eugene vie betts, i think it was
8:16 pm
who actually served in the 1920s. who actually served in the 19205. a bit who actually served in the 1920s. a bit of facts here. he was basically in jail. he had a ten year jail sentence, was basically in jail. he had a ten yearjail sentence, and he ran for president. then he got about a few of the votes about 3 million people, 1 million people or whatever. pretty good. >> good. that's not bad. well coming up, following a spate of stabbings and milkshaking, we will take a look at the attacks on politicians across europe. but on a lighter note , after the but on a lighter note, after the break, i'll show you what happened when this horse riding lesson got a little bit weird
8:17 pm
8:18 pm
8:19 pm
>> on mark dolan tonight, i'll be dealing with the shocking hypocrisy and double standards of comedian stephen fry in the big story. what has happened to missing bbc star michael mosley? i'll be asking one of the country's top detectives and my mark menzies guest is blue peter and most haunted presenter yvette fielding . plus the papers yvette fielding. plus the papers and my top pundits. we're live at nine.
8:20 pm
>> welcome back to the saturday night showdown. now we will discuss the increase in attacks on politicians in a moment. but first, i promised i would show you what happened when horse riding got a little bit weird. let's take a look . let's take a look. >> nagatomo volviendo de la corrida. obviamente con me, amigo y bueno. no . amigo y bueno. no. >> no, it's a dog riding a horse, i thank you a usual saturday night, isn't it? >> they're in a stable relationship. we work on that basis. fantastic. hey hey hey, come on sir, i thank you . we're come on sir, i thank you. we're here all night. >> pause for laughter. >> pause for laughter. >> yes. very good. >> yes. very good. >> you thought they could just go on skateboards and surfboards? >> they could do everything they could do . horses. what i love. could do. horses. what i love. this is the first time ever i've done this show with you forever. ever since the first started. it's the first time there hasn't been a personal injury lawyer on the phone. because the clips are always people get injured. so this is lovely to see dogs on the stuff and we're going to be cats on skateboards next and
8:21 pm
that sort of stuff. >> you don't know what happened to that dog. >> i don't know what happened to the dog because nana and also there's a body count in the next section . section. >> so in recent times, there's been a spate of assaults on politicians across europe. and what is becoming a worrying trend . just this week we've seen trend. just this week we've seen attacks on the danish prime minister, german politicians and of course, our very own nigel farage. nigel was milkshaked by a young lady outside a pub. it turned out she was just doing it to promote her onlyfans . maybe to promote her onlyfans. maybe she just wanted to see someone else covered in sticky fluid. or maybe she was jealous that the reform party, as a father figure . speaking of which, i'm launching a service for women like her called only dads. you can pay me £7.99 a month and i'll dress up as your father and tell you i'm proud of your life choices. of course, the milkshaking was cheered on by leftists who momentarily forgot to be kind and instead called for political violence. when jones said it was art, although he was a bit less ecstatic when he was a bit less ecstatic when he was a bit less ecstatic when he was the target of political violence. stand up to racism a far left mob headed by diane abbott also cheered it on. they
8:22 pm
don't seem to understand that encouraging political violence could come back to bite them. these attacks are serious, though a stabbing spree at a political rally in germany last week left a policeman dead , and week left a policeman dead, and it's not long since tory mp david amess was tragically murdered. and we've also seen just stop oil this week disrupt the duke of westminster's wedding at a ceremony at chester cathedral , so wedding at a ceremony at chester cathedral, so an nhs nurse and a care worker have been arrested after setting off fire extinguishers filled with orange smoke. it's kind of dangerous to fill fire extinguishers with stuff that doesn't put out fires. i'd have thought. i mean, apparently they had waited in position since the early hours of the morning and hid their fire extinguishers in a shopping trolley, which i didn't get, but it must have been one of those. there must have been a pillow long one. the pensioners have not like a wire one. >> yeah, because you can see it. >> yeah, because you can see it. >> it's like the worst disguise even >> it's like the worst disguise ever. so there's a fire extinguisher in that wire trolley. why have you got a load of rubbish? >> have you got. seems to be a trolley in the first place. and also, why are there two fire extinguishers? and yet they filled them with, with orange
8:23 pm
smoke. >> how do you do that? >> how do you do that? >> they might if there was a fire at the cathedral and somebody was like, oh, thank god we've got a fire extinguisher, then all you do is you let off some orange smoke that doesn't even put out fires. >> the orange fire on to orange fire. so, so orange. >> nobody, nobody even got suspicious when they had to carry the trolley in because the wheels had locked. because it got too far away from you. >> yeah, but it is sickening. the attacks on politicians, whatever it is. because and to talk about david's amundsen obviously he had jo cox and so on and so forth. people are standing now because of threats to themselves and to their families. that is disgusting . families. that is disgusting. yeah. and we should absolutely call that out and actually just stop oil. just stop, because what they're doing is despoiling all sorts of things , whatever all sorts of things, whatever their cause, whatever people want to try and do, all they're doing is alienating people. is it how how do you get that? how do you get that , though? that's do you get that, though? that's my point. they're alienating people . there you go. people. there you go. >> like the idea, right? stop oil. we want a greener planet. all of these things. i mean, i've been cycling around london naked today. yeah. >> is there a joke there? >> is there a joke there? >> it was fun. it was nice. you have a little beep and what was it like? >> you have a little beep.
8:24 pm
>> you have a little beep. >> who did you. >> who did you. >> did you genuinely say it's good crack . good crack. >> it's good crack. >> it's good crack. >> how was your live in rehearsals. >> and we came back right. >> and we came back right. >> and we came back right. >> and can i also just say that. yes. stand up to racism was rubbish, by the way. it was nowhere near as good as stand up to cancer. i didn't see romesh hilton's furious. >> are they linked organisations ? >> ?i >> it 7- >> it must 7— >> it must be. sam em 7 >> it must be. it must be. >> it must be. it must be. >> they've both got stand up in them. well yeah. >> that's it. although i suppose like it's probably easier because cancer isn't going to take the hump and then come and target you afterwards. is it . yeah. >> yeah. no. absolutely. but yeah we have seen, we have seen a huge rise in political attacks. i mean, yesterday the danish prime minister was was pushed to the ground. yeah. >> no it's awful. these sort of things . it's >> no it's awful. these sort of things. it's not >> no it's awful. these sort of things . it's not funny. >> no it's awful. these sort of things. it's not funny. i mean the reality is the increase in varne people you can disagree with. people do it vocally, george. or not. world war, fighting people and attacking them physically is wrong. yeah and you've got to work on that sort of premise. i think it's got to be stopped. and they should call it out. >> and also it shows that you've lost the argument if you've got
8:25 pm
to, if you've got to, you know, become violent instead of, instead of debating, instead of arguing your points and getting getting people to agree with your points and building a, you know, a popular following, then you've obviously you don't have much of an argument. >> oh, we couldn't agree more if your argument is to just it's funny that we say this because we've just been talking about the guy that got punched in the face for saying stuff about the kids, but i think that's completely that's completely different . different. >> you don't need to argue against that. >> it's a loophole, isn't there? like saying things, saying inappropriate things about kids get a smack in the face, right? yeah. but if you're just a politician going about your day to day life, you've got an opinion that someone might not agree with or this that or the other. right? you don't deserve to get a milkshake to the face, or be stabbed or be attacked or anything like that. because again, with the milkshake, it could have been acid. yeah. like there's so many different elements and that is what quality control is like at mcdonald's. so i think i've had acid at the times however, had a great cartoon when they were talking about the reform and the rise that they've had in the two
8:26 pm
two points. >> they basically said they had a picture of nigel with two pints, and they're working on that sort of basis. so two pints as opposed to two points we always love a pun is better. the pun is mightier than the sword. so they work on that sort of principle. but it's absolutely wrong and you need to call it out. and i think that's important. politicians should not live in fear. nobody should live in fear of holding opinions and speaking out. >> oh, absolutely. we absolutely condemn, you know, all the all the violence , even the even the the violence, even the even the comedian getting punched in the head. well, is there a link here, though? >> because i think that the rise in popularity of social media gives people false confidence. so there is this narrative and this reality that isn't real life. and then people get too confident and they have the right they feel to say whatever they want. and then that spills into reality. and that's what we're seeing manifest as violence . violence. >> absolutely. and social media is almost like road rage. you know, how people, when they're sitting in their cars, they're in the sort of isolated little bubble. so they shout and rant and rave and get angry. and they would if they were just walking down the street, you wouldn't shout at somebody like that if you're just like, you know, six feet away from them. >> but it's also cowardly because what they hide behind this anonymity, so they have little names like little doris and that's like radiohead . but
8:27 pm
and that's like radiohead. but you work on that sort of i'm sorry, but you're right. they hide behind this sort of stuff, so they feel as though they can post any revolting thing, which actually they're not brave about coming up and doing anything in real life because they won't come on and say it. people's faces, they'll hide behind the anonymity and post whatever . anonymity and post whatever. that's that's not good in this society, is it? >> yeah. no, absolutely . and >> yeah. no, absolutely. and last week in mannheim, an islamic extremist went on a stabbing spree at a political rally in mannheim. sorry, said mannheim twice in germany. where was it? policeman. >> so where? >> so where? >> where is it? mannheim. just stop oil. want to stop oil? a policeman who intervened was tragically killed before the attacker was shot dead last year saw 86 violent attacks on representatives of germany's right wing afd party. that's more than on any other party. but there have been a lot, several dozen other parties as well. according to statistics, the perpetrators often endorsed left wing extremism or islamism , left wing extremism or islamism, and the way these attacks are reported in the media is notable to the sky news headline said police officer stabbed during
8:28 pm
attack at far right rally, dies. so anyone reading that would think that someone from the far right was responsible for the attack, i mean, andrew murray, that this is going to put good candidates off from entering politics. we've already seen that over the last. >> they absolutely. and people have said they're not standing as a result of the threats to themselves and their families. >> was it make it was exactly, exactly what he said. >> he came up. i'm not i can't do it because they're not having a p0p do it because they're not having a pop up. my family and things like that. it is wrong . it a pop up. my family and things like that. it is wrong. it is so wrong. absolutely. freedom of expression. talk about disagreeing with people's views. but as soon as it degenerates into violence , that has got to into violence, that has got to be wrong. and we've got to call it out. and people around the world are being attacked. we're heanng world are being attacked. we're hearing all the time people being shot or stabbed and so on and so forth. it is so wrong and they need to step down. but you're right, the reporting of it is wrong. where was that place in germany really? is that right? but you you work on that sort of principle. so we have to and actually it's important that we do that in the media, turn on and say we absolutely abhor that behaviour. yeah. >> no, it's shocking. and, yeah, i mean i think we need good
8:29 pm
candidates. like we're just not seeing people. people used to go into politics. they they had respect. it was a respectable profession. now, you know, i feel like people aren't paid enough people. i mean, i know a lot of people on the left say they get paid too much. i think if you're if you're somebody like, sajid javid. for example, he took a 98% pay cut to become a politician . so, you know, a politician. so, you know, you've got these opportunities, that just look more appealing than, you know, running the country and then getting, you know, milkshakes chucked at you and punched in the face. yeah. >> i mean, it's a really i can't speak. >> i mean, it's a really i can't speak . it's a really tricky one. speak. it's a really tricky one. >> you should be a politician. yeah, i'd vote for you . yeah, i'd vote for you. >> with people like richard rishi sunak , i always call him rishi sunak, i always call him richie rishi sunak. i don't understand why he is a politician. yeah, but that's the kind of people that we get at the end. someone who just goes, do you know what? it's kind of like ? he's got nothing else like? he's got nothing else better to do. >> i feel like it's just another slot in his cv rather than something that's a passion. >> yeah, he doesn't need to do
8:30 pm
it. like, if i was rishi sunak, i'd be sitting in a villa somewhere with people fanning me all day long. i'd be. he does that as well. do this to on ice. i'd be having a lovely time. just like, step aside. rishi and give someone who's actually going to do the job properly and someone who's got conviction. >> and maybe because it's the conservative party, maybe an actual conservative would be nice for a change. >> yeah. instead of somebody who just thinks it's good crack. yeah, yeah. >> or somebody who'd be, you know, at home in the labour party. i mean, the parties seem indistinguishable. >> i think the reality is , >> i think the reality is, actually, most politicians do this for a vocation. and i think it's rather than a professional politicians now, they are . politicians now, they are. absolutely. and i don't think they do. they certainly don't do it for the money. a lot of people actually, they would earn far more in business and so on. and so forth. so i actually do think that and to be fair, on all sides, i think they do it for good reasons. and if you look at that sort of stuff, there are those who are obviously power hungry and that's what they do. and it would work terribly well. but the reality is people on all sides actually do do it because they want to make a difference .
8:31 pm
they want to make a difference. and i know it's naff to say that it's naff to claim it, but i think the reality is that and so give them a chance. i think rishi is doing it for good reasons. and i also think keir starmer is and so on and so forth. that's the reality we need to call out when people abuse that position is what we're very good at. >> absolutely. well, next on the saturday night showdown, we've got a culture corner pride special. plus, i'll show you what happened with these builders . tried to shift a big builders. tried to shift a big pile of sand. >> here we go. hello
8:32 pm
8:33 pm
8:34 pm
>> welcome back to the saturday night showdown. a culture corner pride special is coming up next. but first, i promised i would show you what happened when that builder tried to move a pile of sand. let's take a look. at here it goes, here it goes . no. is it it goes, here it goes. no. is it gonna work? oh, it turns out. it turns out a really coarse mesh
8:35 pm
net isn't good for picking up sand. >> who'd have thought that guy must work for the council, that is, he's paid me. >> he's. i think joe biden had been there earlier . been there earlier. >> we're all trying to laugh at that, because that's the second time we heard that joke. >> and it's funny when you hear some twice. >> there's nothing like a well rehearsed ad lib. that's what that's what i love about this sort of stuff. it's got to be good. >> i know this is like erections. >> you just can't waste one. >> you just can't waste one. >> absolutely. he's got one of them as well. we'll show that in them as well. we'll show that in the final section anyway. increasing we see many of our big corporations getting involved in pride month. but to what end should these corporations be using these events in part to promote their businesses? and so they seem to these corporations seem to turn into gay rights activists for pride month , with rainbow logos, pride month, with rainbow logos, rainbow flags and special rainbow flags and special rainbow products such as the marks and spencer's lgbtq belt. but a few people have noticed that this activism only happens in the west, in countries where lgbtq people are accepted in
8:36 pm
society and protected by law . society and protected by law. but in places such as the middle east, where lgbtq people are still killed by many governments, these corporations tone their pride celebrations down a bit. one person asked bmw about this, saying , how come you about this, saying, how come you don't proudly display your logos pride colours on your middle east? photos post? sorry, bmw replied saying this is an established practice that the bmw group, which also takes into consideration market specific legal regulations and country specific cultural aspects. so these corporations aren't campaigning where they'll actually make a difference to gay people. they're just calling for acceptance where they're already accepted. these activists are just pushing at an open door. it's almost as if corporations is flying the pride flag, don't care about lgbtq people at all. but just want to sell more stuff. i mean, i was just shocked by the by the sort of the blatant sort of, two tier system where they have the pride flag . in the
8:37 pm
system where they have the pride flag. in the uk, system where they have the pride flag . in the uk, where it's all flag. in the uk, where it's all accepted, where, you know, the battle's been won, and in the middle east, you know, they they don't at all. >> well, i'd quite like to see queers for palestine. they should do like a holiday over there in mid pride month. queers for palestine. let's all get together , jump on an aeroplane. together, jump on an aeroplane. let's go to gaza or somewhere in the middle east and then find out what it's actually about. yeah, that's why they're not doing it over there. and everyone knows why they're not celebrating. pride in the middle east is because they'll be killed . yeah, because it's killed. yeah, because it's illegal. they're going to get stoned to death. >> apart from in israel, which all the woke progressives who love pride month seem to hate for some reason. >> israel has a pride. yeah, and they're all for it is basically london in the middle east. yeah. but they go no, not israel . but they go no, not israel. we're going to support everyone else. that would kill us. it doesn't make any sense. yeah, but they they've gone way too over the top of pride like i've got so many gay friends. i think i collect them like they're pokemon cards. i don't know what i'm doing and they're sick of it. like they're just like, do you know what? we're just gay. we wanted. we want to be able to
8:38 pm
love the person that we want to love. that's it. it's easy. that's what you teach people. and then it's just rammed down our throats every june. like, literally . literally. >> well, i think you're right, though, like, i think it's gone more nefarious than just trying to support something in order to sell, because now that's not going to get you any sales. yeah. it's the fact that if you don't be seen to support it, then you will stand out by exception, and that will adversely impact you instead. >> so wouldn't it be great? wouldn't it be great to have a society where it's not necessary to do all of that, where everybody's just respected? i think from that point of view, it's great. these corporations do it. i do get it, though. culturally, they're not going to do it in countries where it's illegal and so on and so forth. and to call it out because it's about the brand, it needs to be done. >> that's what people need to make your apps. and the way, the way they're set, it strident about it, you know, saying, oh, we're inclusive. and it's like, well, why don't you be inclusive all around the world? >> i understand why people are cynical about it in the same way as colonel tom parker he used with elvis. he would sell the i love elvis badges, and he would also say, i hate elvis badges. and what happened? he was all
8:39 pm
said, well, the reason i do that because i make money from both of them. so you work on that sort of premise, but it's good to call it out. it's good to call out prejudice, and it's good to get respect all around. that's the thing. >> i mean, i think corporations have almost hacked the left because, you know, in the 90s, growing up, i was i was a, i was a left wing, you know, really young person. yeah. i was stupid when i was young. i'm still stupid. but, you know, now i'm just a different kind of stupid. but growing up, we were very suspicious of corporations, very suspicious of corporations, very suspicious of corporations, very suspicious of the government. so corporations have gone away and they've thought, how can we trick these people into buying ourice trick these people into buying our ice cream? and they're like, you know, now they put like pride logos or whatever. it's all the left wing people, all the socialists are like, oh my god, this ice cream aligns with my values. it's like, no , my values. it's like, no, they're just selling the badge like the colonel tom parker. exactly. >> so you work on that sort of base, which i understand why it's cynical. there is a really good reason, and i hope we get to the stage, hopefully in our lifetime, where it's totally irrelevant what sexuality, what religion and what colour and so on doesn't matter. that's what we need. and then because i think we have gone the other way and this is the problem, because it then starts to backfire and people resent it. yeah, absolutely. >> and not everyone loves pride
8:40 pm
month, including this guy at an adele concert. someone shouted pride sucks at our show in las vegas. now have we got we might have a clip of it. yeah we do. so there's so. yeah. so he went to the concert , shouted out to the concert, shouted out pride sucks! this is a clip of someone else. and then she she came up and said, said, you know, what are you doing ? know, what are you doing? shouting out pride socks at my concert because i mean, she's got i think there were a few more expletives in than that. >> i've seen the clip. it was effing and blinding like only adele can do with these sort of places, but actually, she's right to call it out. she she's totally supporting that sort of stuff. that's what she does on the other side. work el tel i work on that sort of principle. so it was wrong. you know, people should not shout out these sort of things. and adele wasn't he wasn't shouting out that gay people suck or anything like that. >> he was shouting at the pride sucks. and i think, you know, he might have a point. pride has become a sort of corporate virtue signalling event, and it also pushes ideas that are like gender ideology . so we actually gender ideology. so we actually saw lesbians getting thrown off a pride march in in wales. so they didn't offend trans people
8:41 pm
that were on the march. >> wow. well, this is the entire society eats each other. so it used to just be part of the march as well. >> that's right. and also gay people definitely do suck just while we're on it. >> can i say anything without you two turning it into a filthy pun ? but like, it used to just pun? but like, it used to just be pride . and we had the rainbow be pride. and we had the rainbow flag and everyone was happy with that. and it was inclusive and that. and it was inclusive and that covered everyone. >> hamas weren't happy with it, but no , israel were. but no, israel were. >> yeah, but then people weren't happy anyway . we won't go into happy anyway. we won't go into that. it was all good. we had one flag, one pride, and it was just like you do you boo? and that was it. that was basically what it was. and then they had to have all these subsections of flags and different meanings like so the flag is no longer just the rainbow. it's now got that little triangle in the corner and you've got flags for people like asexuals . people like asexuals. >> so asexuals are marching as if they've been oppressed. when if they've been oppressed. when if asexual people ever been oppressed, like there's dads out there being like, listen, when you're in my house, you can have
8:42 pm
sex. >> i mean, this is an absolute nonsense. asexual people are just doing what all religious bigots have ever wanted people to do, which is not have sex. >> yeah. or any married person. >> yeah. or any married person. >> yeah, yeah , exactly. >> yeah, yeah, exactly. >> yeah, yeah, exactly. >> or people. people who dress up as dogs saying that they get oppressed. >> it was one of the horse. if only you had a video . it's got only you had a video. it's got to be good. >> the only way people who dress up as dogs are oppressed is that they're not allowed in the couch. >> it's ridiculous. >> it's ridiculous. >> and there was a very concerning display by kids at primary school in scotland. so pupils at john logie baird school in helensburgh held up placards saying gay by birth , placards saying gay by birth, age doesn't matter and age is just a number. i mean, it's a number that says how old you are and if it's a under a certain limit, then it's illegal. so this, i mean this this worries me. age doesn't matter . age is me. age doesn't matter. age is just a just a number like lgbtq issues are about sexuality. and i don't think kids should be involved in it at all. no, no no no . no. >> yeah. you need to provide. >> yeah. you need to provide. >> it's coming back to the kids. like just leave the kids alone. and i don't know why. we've got
8:43 pm
to say this so many times. and they're using lgbt as like a trojan horse to basically get to the children. yeah. and i really it makes me so uncomfortable . i it makes me so uncomfortable. i don't like it. but then you call it out and you say, well, why? why are we teaching? and it's not just like we should have sex sex education. when we're children, we should have that. we should learn about the birds and the bees. we should know where babies come, but it needs to be age appropriate. >> and what you're teaching . >> and what you're teaching. wow. absolutely. what you're teaching is about respect it and that sort of side and absolutely should be age appropriate. and the whole thing is it's fine. whatever people do and that's fine . you don't need to wear it fine. you don't need to wear it on your sleeve and ram it down people's throats without the gags. you work on that sort of principle. i think, you know. yeah, but you work on that sort of principle. but if you have respect, teach respect for people, teach about how you deal with people and recognise people are different. yeah. >> just tell, you know, teach the kids some some kids have got two mommies. some kids have got two mommies. some kids have got two daddies. absolutely. that's fine. you don't need to be teaching them sex stuff. anyway. next on the saturday night
8:44 pm
showdown, we've got the wonderfully weird clown world. plus, they'll show you what happened next. when one climate change activist slashed the tires on the tractor . it doesn't tires on the tractor. it doesn't go well for them
8:45 pm
8:46 pm
8:47 pm
welcome back to the saturday night showdown. coming up, we will be clowning around with clown world. but first, i promised i would show you what happened when one lady came to blows with a tractor. let's take a look. >> nervous ? >> nervous? >> nervous? >> so the tractor one. that's one nil to the tractor. no no points to the climate change activist. so i mean, that's. i've seen a few videos of people, slashing tires, and the tire explodes in this. >> it does . >> it does. >> it does. >> but what do they think is going to happen? well, i think some tires, like my tire got slashed when i was in leicester. and that's why you shouldn't go
8:48 pm
to london. >> that's why you shouldn't go to leicester. but also i didn't see, you know, a knocked out climate activist next to the car. so i think some tires you can you can do that with but not tractor tires. they're obviously they're obviously at a high pressure for going across the turnip field. >> yeah . yeah. >> yeah. yeah. >> yeah. yeah. >> massive full of air. anyway we've seen the queers for palestine , climate change palestine, climate change activists for palestine, the latest one for palestine is fatties for palestine. let's have a look . have a look. >> hello. >> hello. >> are you fat ? are you >> are you fat? are you pro—palestine ? boy, do i have pro—palestine? boy, do i have a shirt for you. hey, look what i just got . isn't it beautiful, man? >> she looks like she ate palestine. queers for palestine are mocked because hamas killed gay people by throwing them from rooftops. but i guess fatties for palestine are safe. nobody's getting them up. six flights of stairs , so, i mean, you you're stairs, so, i mean, you you're talking about, you stairs, so, i mean, you you're talking about , you know, stairs, so, i mean, you you're talking about, you know, colonel tom parker. yes. and i just feel like. i mean , there are no merchandising. >> well, there certainly are. and it's a very large t shirt. you go camping in it, couldn't
8:49 pm
you?i you go camping in it, couldn't you? i mean, but the reality, i think for good them. you know, i love the video that you showed a few weeks ago where you basically had somebody who was they had all these larger ladies , and there was this really skinny guy saying, i identify as fat. do you remember that one? i think they work on that sort of bafis. think they work on that sort of basis . so it think they work on that sort of basis. so it was a zoom call. do you remember that extraordinary stuff. so i think good for them. if they do that they sell a bit of merchandise. i'm not quite sure why you need to make it into individual groups. i mean, we all support appropriate things and we all support peace. and i think slapping labels on people is not good. we are pro—peace rather than pro either side. >> i don't like peace now. >> i don't like peace now. >> that wasn't supposed to be a t shirt. i think that was supposed to be a tent for a refugee camp. >> yeah, i mean, trying to equate genocide to being made fun of for being fat is exactly why she needs to be made fun of for being fat. >> yeah, that's a great point. that's a great point. and speaking of, speaking of great points, this next thing isn't a great point. what's the latest thing to be called far right, according to zoe williams writing in the guardian, getting fit can turn you into a right wing jerk. according to the
8:50 pm
guardian, having personal responsibility and working hard to better yourself may make you less of a fat leech who blame society for all your problems. indeed, might not be the point you're trying to make there, zoe.so you're trying to make there, zoe. so he claims that taking accountability for your own life and improving it may make you judgemental about other people and self—righteous. although of course i'm sure no left wing person has ever been self—righteous or judgemental. self—righteous orjudgemental. i mean, this this just makes being far right look good. it's, you know , if you go to the gym, you know, if you go to the gym, you work out, you take responsibility for your life. that's a far right thing to do, apparently. >> well, i just don't know what the other option is. go right. look after yourself , take look after yourself, take responsibility, be far right or just stoop to a level that you just stoop to a level that you just don't care about yourself. >> go goblin mode. >> go goblin mode. >> yeah, and blame it on society. >> but that's exactly it. >> but that's exactly it. >> it's like fitness far left or sorry, far right. and then you've got fat for palestine. far left. you can't win there somewhere in the middle. i don't know, you've got the beer belly. >> who knows? yeah, but. >> who knows? yeah, but. >> but zoe does . and i know zoe >> but zoe does. and i know zoe very well. i've shared many a studio with her, and she loves.
8:51 pm
she does it, but she's wrong to politicise it. but there are people who do go to gyms. and what a rub it in your face. look there. there they go. nice and exercise and they want to show off their great bodies and stuff like that. and they are. it's nothing to do with politics, though. it'sjust nothing to do with politics, though. it's just to do with the individuals and as she says, it makes them into jerks. some people, doesn't it? >> yeah, that's not really a right wing thing. yeah. no. for some people, this is a time to celebrate pride. but other people are celebrating pride in a man who stood up against the government with his home made armoured bulldozer . let's take armoured bulldozer. let's take a look. making my way downtown . look. making my way downtown. >> walking fast. faces pass and i'm homebound . i'm homebound. >> yes. the 20th anniversary of killdozer a komatsu d355. a bulldozer fitted out with armour plating by marvin heemeyer , who plating by marvin heemeyer, who then destroyed several buildings following disputes with local authorities . obviously we don't authorities. obviously we don't condone destroying buildings with an armoured bulldozer you've made in your garage. but nobody died in the incident apart from him. he took his own life. it's really not the light
8:52 pm
hearted story. i was hoping it was gonna be, but, i mean, we don't condone this, but as marvin himself said, sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things. he'd been in various disputes with, with the local authorities. and i think sometimes about what they want, you know, you're on a helpline for eight hours. they won't answer emails. sometimes you've got to build an armoured bulldozer and then single handedly, the best thing to come out of this is a certain online outlet released a commemorative bulldozer . bulldozer. >> amazing, amazing. >> amazing, amazing. >> but marvin , john he marvin, >> but marvin, john he marvin, john heemeyer he was basically a muffler. that's what he did. that was his job. he took a great job as a muffler, and he had lots of disputes with the local council and various other things, and he was so frustrated. that's how he took it out. it did actually end tragically because he was killed as a thing . so it's quite sad. as a thing. so it's quite sad. and it was the 4th of june, i think, in 2004. so the 20th anniversary on that sort of stuff . but yes, i anniversary on that sort of stuff. but yes, i think anniversary on that sort of stuff . but yes, i think what he stuff. but yes, i think what he did, that glorious clip was fantastic , the sad thing behind fantastic, the sad thing behind it. but the fact is, a muffler i
8:53 pm
think should be mentioned more. >> and when andrew says muffler, that's not, an occupation in the porn industry, that is a fixed car's fixed. the exhausts on cars , i believe. cars, i believe. >> i know it's the porn industry. i know it was automobile that was what it was. it's a muffler. >> i guess this is, you know, just stop oil. do their own. you know, they break the law. they have their own direct action. this is, you know, the other side. this is, you know, when conservatives do direct action, they, they spend, you know, years building an armoured bulldozer. >> they just do it the other way round . yeah. just stuff i was round. yeah. just stuff i was trying to stop and he's like, no, no, i'm going to go full in, build an armoured bulldozer and just take people out of it, build a not take anyone out, did he? >> he didn't . he? >> he didn't. no, he didn't kill anybody. >> so he did some damage to some buildings to laugh about it and some cars. >> and i'm sure if you're a car you'd be very annoyed. and if it got scratched by that bulldozer. but up next it's mark dolan tonight. what have you got for us this evening, mark, well, listen, joe biden, we're being gaslit. >> this guy shouldn't be president. it's time to impeach him on health grounds. also, what has happened to the tv star michael mosley? i'll be joined
8:54 pm
by a top detective. and in my take a ten. the arrogance and double standards of stephen fry. i won't be pulling my punches. >> sounds amazing . and just >> sounds amazing. and just quickly, do you think that do you think that joe biden did actually do a little poop in his pants? >> well, i do wonder he can't control a country . i doubt he control a country. i doubt he can control his bladder. >> well, thanks to my brilliant panel tonight, we've had andrew eborn albert and ryan mcdonnell . eborn albert and ryan mcdonnell. hopefully see you again next week. and don't forget headliners as well tonight at 11 pm. i'll be on that as well. p.m. i'll be on that as well. see you later. see you next week. bye >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello. here's your latest weather update from the met office for gb news. the weather stays rather mixed across the uk over the next few days. a mixture of sunshine and showers and staying quite chilly for the time of year two. the cool conditions are all to down a northerly airstream low pressure anchored towards the north—east of the uk , high pressure out of the uk, high pressure out towards the west and that's generating that northerly flow
8:55 pm
across all parts. so looking at things in more detail for this evening and through the overnight period, we'll see showers towards the north and northwest of the uk , quite northwest of the uk, quite blustery winds. so many of those showers are rattling through quite quickly , the rain giving quite quickly, the rain giving way to more persistent outbreaks as we head into the early hours of sunday, particularly across northern ireland and the south—west of scotland. whereas across england and wales the cloud tends to melt away , so it cloud tends to melt away, so it will turn quite chilly here by sunday morning. in fact, in rural spots we could see temperatures into low single figures giving a touch of grass, frost in 1 or 2 places. pretty unusual for this time of the year. looking at things in more detail for early on sunday and towards the north—east of scotland, we'll see a mixture of sunshine and showers. quite a brisk north westerly winds. then we run into an area of more persistent rain across northern ireland, southwest scotland, parts of north—west england , parts of north—west england, whereas elsewhere across england and wales it's set for quite a chilly start . but there'll be chilly start. but there'll be plenty of sunshine around and we hold on to some sunshine here, certainly through the morning on sunday, before cloud starts to increase from the north, whereas across northern ireland we hold on to outbreaks of rain on and off through the day. and that rain slipping its way south eastwards across southwest
8:56 pm
scotland into northern england and eventually parts of north wales too . further north, it's a wales too. further north, it's a case of sunshine and showers towards the far north—east of the uk and staying chilly here with quite a brisk northerly breeze. temperatures generally no better than 12 to 14 celsius up to 20, though in london that's 68 in fahrenheit. as for monday, we'll see an unsettled picture across england and wales, certainly through the morning , outbreaks of rain morning, outbreaks of rain gradually clearing away to the south and east, giving way to a mixture of sunshine and showers across all parts of the remainder of the day . and with remainder of the day. and with that northerly breeze still in place, it's staying quite chilly for the time of year two. we hold on to a shower picture into the middle part of the week, and temperatures stay quite disappointing for the early part of june as well . of june as well. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar , sponsors of weather on
