2:05 am
words. we've all said them. >> but you have to. i think ofcom forces you to say those words. that's. >> yeah, but no, i don't think ofcom has got any remit of balance about you. you're one of the few things that we're definitely allowed to be all one sided. i think ofcom ought to stay away from me. >> that's my feeling. you know, they don't want to be bothered. you just go start the show already without him. >> all good? yes. all good. thank you. >> looking forward to whatever mess this could turn into. >> it's going to be a mess. >> it's going to be a mess. >> yeah, right. that's the chit chat. done. let's take a look at your front pages. the sunday telegraph goes with schools to wage war on putrid fake news. more on that one later, mail on sunday. security chiefs pm kept in dark by aide sue gray the observer goes with riots will set back efforts to rebuild our broken justice system , warns broken justice system, warns minister vie. says reeves eyes fuel duty hike in budget. but voters are opposed. yep, the sunday times writers face ten year terms, warns cps boss and the star. on sunday i saw the
2:06 am
ghost of lemmy riding a horse and eating a pizza , and those and eating a pizza, and those were the front pages . adam, we were the front pages. adam, we start with the mail on sunday. what they got for us? >> yes. so this is for the mail on sunday. and it says security chiefs. pm kept in dark by aide sue gray. so this is starmer's chief of staff accused of thinking she runs britain as the mos told she's blocked top level briefings . this is a very briefings. this is a very interesting funny story because it basically what it boils down to is they people are worried within government that keir starmer is not getting essential. updates about the state of the country. and this is obviously very important, very prevalent considering the riots we've had in the last few days, she's essentially acting like a prefect or a teacher's pet, saying, no, no , tell me. pet, saying, no, no, tell me. and people are concerned saying, well, actually, is keir actually is he actually getting the important updates that he needs? >> so because i read it and i was thinking more like a
2:07 am
doctor's receptionist, that vibe . doctor's receptionist, that vibe. >> right. yeah, yeah. >> right. yeah, yeah. >> bat away as many as possible about getting an appointment. >> forget about informing keir of what's going on with the country, but we don't know what the real story is. >> whenever you see a story like this, you don't know what's behind the scenes. it could just behind the scenes. it could just be a very simple thing that that sue gray is upset with. this guy named mcsweeney and mcsweeney ratted on her, and they're all afraid this is the way it is in politics. it's also it's also like saying like, if only hitler knew. if only he knew what was going on to hitler, how quickly ? going on to hitler, how quickly? >> quickest. best. yeah. >> quickest. best. yeah. >> i don't know what it is, i thought to myself, i don't care. is that is that is that that's what they're saying is that starmer needs to know he's not being told. that's why he's not doing the best job. let's starmer be starmer and that's why people are turning on him. not that the fact that he's an authoritarian, you know, hitler like type guy who was putting in. yeah twice . he's a he's a in. yeah twice. he's a he's a communist. he was he was in the czech republic. he was a communist like hitler. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> but hitler was a communist in his own words, socialist in the past. >> he let's not. that's not that
2:08 am
old classic online thing. is there a chance that this is just keir starmer using this as a great excuse, i would, but oh no.sue great excuse, i would, but oh no. sue gray just she says i can't come out to play. >> i would love that. >> i would love that. >> that's, that's also part of it. at the end of the day you are totally right. we have no idea what the truth is. there's some kind of weird games going on and we're not there because we're not allowed to. >> yeah, because it's sue gray. yeah lewis, to the observer, what have they got? >> the observer writes will just set back back efforts to rebuild our broken system, warns minister. this is this woman. she's a devout muslim. am i allowed to say that her name is shabana mahmood? she's a woman. she's 43 years old, very beautiful. and she lives in. i'm not. am i allowed to say that? i don't even know about to say she's beautiful and she's the justice secretary, and she says. >> because you can't even say christmas these days. >> the last show we did, i said, she's a very pretty girl. i didn't mean it as like, you know, she's a pretty get away with it. >> no one's. yeah. >> no one's. yeah. >> you're back. i'm so old. everybody's a girl to me anyway. the truth is, the truth is. is that because she's. she's
2:09 am
saying. because there's been hundreds. this is her. what do they call that when she's looking for a way out of the tough situation they're in? here's her excuse. why she can't improve the. >> yeah, we can't we can't reform the justice system because of the riots. >> so many so many white people. we can't improve it. >> so many so many white people. we can't improve it . okay. and we can't improve it. okay. and he's blaming the conservatives yeah. >> i mean, it's a it's a great sort of pass the buck. i mean, i'd love to hear what sort of sue gray has to say about this. i i think she'd be really good. i i think she'd be really good. i don't know , like, i think it's i don't know, like, i think it's nice. it's getting a quick win in sort of saying. right, by the way, this is going to affect us actually getting some proper work done. i don't know, maybe there's some legitimacy in this saying that, you know, if there's an influx of people now being arrested for the riots recently, this is going to delay efforts. but i think just making it official news just seems a bit of a cop out. just like just do the job. >> that's what they do. the other one said there was a $22 billion hole in the budget. that's why we can't do this. and this is this is what they do when they're elected. they they say, oh my god, they left us with even less money than we
2:10 am
thought. >> and this what's really interesting, i feel like, because when you work in an office and you've got deadlines to meet and your manager saying this, if something bad happens in the office, you're never allowed to say, well, this will affect my work directly. you're just supposed to suck it up and continue and deliver to deadlines. this is the only politics that they seem to say. anything that happens can be used as an excuse for these. why we're not going to deliver on what we promised. >> was that a humble brag that you've you've had a job? >> is that an office job i know? >> is that an office job i know? >> oh, yeah. >> oh, yeah. >> yeah, it really shows back in the day. back in the day, my heart like pitter patter. >> like, do you not think that there is. because we had the story of there's so many delays in the courts and then it's a year's worth of delays and then somehow it turns out they can get people processed over the weekend. and a lot of the narrative has been like, oh, if you can do it for them, why can't you do it for everyone? and actually, it's the opposite. by and actually, it's the opposite. by doing it for them, these delays are going to get even worse. yes, all the people who would have been processing the backlog have now been brought in on this. yeah. >> how about how about because we're doing it in a night in a few hours. we're basically throwing out the justice system by saying, well, these people are probably not getting their
2:11 am
free right. >> well, at the moment these are all ones who've pleaded guilty. so you don't have the trials yet. yeah. so the trials would be the fair. >> so they're pleaded. they're pled guilty. well, it's obvious when it's obvious. but kid who still even in america that doesn't vaping products like that. yeah, >> adam, we can look at the sunday telegraph, please. what have they got? yes. >> so this is a story from the sunday telegraph, nhs staff ask men if they are pregnant before x—ray scans. now before gawking at this story, it is kind of interesting. this basically stems from radiographers at multiple hospitals have been told they must check whether all patients age 12 to 55 are pregnant, regardless of their sex. and this is basically been born out of a particular case where a transgender person was a transgender man was basically not asked. and this caused complications. so now they've sort of like overcorrected and they've said , right, doesn't they've said, right, doesn't matter regardless of what they look like. if it's obvious or not, ask everyone if they're pregnant. and this unfortunately has led to people getting frustrated. it's upset. both men and women, biological men and
2:12 am
women, people who are seeking cancer treatment saying, why are you asking me if i'm pregnant? i'm about to die, and we've also had there's also been reports of women who've ended up being sort of in tears and crying because they're being prodded, because they're being prodded, because they're sort of barren. and it's basically bringing up sort of unnecessary memories. this is this is when a good intentioned policy is done in absolute, the absolutely the wrong way. and i think we do. well, if we reverted back to common sense, you can't revert back . you can't revert back. >> you revert to common sense, who is . who is. >> oh, that's very good. yeah. tautology. >> slam this early . >> slam this early. >> slam this early. >> oh, that's very good. >> oh, that's very good. >> very very very. >> very very very. >> i can't wait for the grammatical correction later. >> this is because you're sitting in the outsiders say, isn't it. >> this is you said. you said before the show start, you're put there because you were better than, better than me. >> just to drag us back to the story that the guy who's like, who's on the fast track cancer check stormed out without getting the tests. i don't know if i was that urgent to get a cancer test. i'd answer a few dumb questions. i think you could ask me some stupid things about, you know, where do i get
2:13 am
my hair cut? are you. >> are you pregnant, though? >> are you pregnant, though? >> am i pregnant? exactly. do you know what? no. look at that. how easy it was. now give me the damn test. >> no, but the thing is, we've got. we've been offered. all they have to do is say even. i would say that that's. i mean, i'm a. i think you have to sometimes ask men if they're pregnant because there are men now, whatever you want that they think that they're men and they, you know, you're trying to be politically correct, but you're putting it in quotes quite lot. >> yes. yeah. >> yes. yeah. >> because you have to. i don't want people to think you not like you. i don't want people to hate you. >> i don't think you need to ask at all. you just say, here's an x ray that you can't have if you're pregnant, and then you crack on and the responsibility is on the person to go, oh, sorry, then i can't have it. >> i don't think that you don't understand how hospitals work. >> yeah, you're there all the time. of course you are. yeah. >> what they could do is they could. there's a nice way of saying they say we've got rules and regulations. we've got to ask these questions. we ask everyone these questions. are you a man? no. and then they. and then you laugh. >> every time i go to the dentist, you have to tick the box. could you be pregnant just because it's the general form? and. yeah, every time you go to
2:14 am
the dentist, you have to fill the dentist, you have to fill the whole form in. i don't get upset about it because it's the way. anyway finally, lewis, better crack on and take a look at the daily star sunday what news they bring. >> i saw the ghost of lemmy. that's not lenny, lemmy. he's the guy from motorhead. he was the guy from motorhead. he was the guy from motorhead. he was the guy who's had the boyle at his face. it was like, totally gross. and that came from probably drinking too much. and he was like, i'm not going to say he was a drunk, but he seemed like one on the tv. anyway, i saw the ghost of lemmy riding a horse and eating a pizza and, what makes this news? they because he died last year. they because he died last year. they they scattered his, they were at a music festival this wacken, wacken, wacken heavy metal music fest, which is the largest open air music festival in the world. did you know that? no, i didn't know it either. i don't care because i didn't know it was related to the story. to be honest, i don't like it. so there was this woman named brocard. brocard, who's a singer or something, and she they had a seance for him. so this is, this is levels of unreality mounted on unreality. >> yeah. i was going to say.
2:15 am
surely the news here is that ghosts exist, >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and i, they don't. so i will be refusing. you don't participate in this story , but participate in this story, but it also says that horses and pizza exist. >> well, i presumed it would be a ghost horse and also a ghost pizza, which is bigger news. yeah, pizzas have souls. >> if ghost of lemmy riding a yeah, yeah, yeah . yeah, yeah, yeah. >> you see, because there's no way. because unless you have a corporeal form, you can't eat a real pizza. it's a ghost. ghost pizzas. that's the main headline. there the. >> i thought you're too good for this show. >> well, that's the end of part one. coming up in part two, riot news, just for change. and starmer is popular than he used to be. so
2:16 am
2:17 am
2:18 am
welcome back to headliners. i'm stephen allan, still joined by adam koumas and lewis schaffer and adam the sunday times. first there were protests and now there were protests and now there are anti—protest protests. i see how this could escalate.
2:19 am
oh yeah. >> no, i can't wait for the anti—protest protest. protests anti —protest protest. protests are anti—protest protest. protests are going to be following. yeah, this is from the sunday times. thousands on street and show up defines against far right. so thousands of anti—racism protesters have taken to the streets around britain to face down the far right in largely peaceful demonstrations. there's that catch phrase, largely peaceful , they basically we had peaceful, they basically we had a lot of riots recently. a lot of people were blaming the far right for it. and now we've had a lot of people coming out to sort of support unity and chanting slogans like nazi scum off our streets and things like that, you know, really getting into the nuance of it. and people wearing love choose love and, you know, being arrested for violent acts. you know, i don't know, i think if you look at it, there's parts of it like there's people acting in bad faith on both sides, i think and i think that's been that's been across all of the protests, even the sort of palestine, free palestine protests we've seen, i think the best of both. i mean,
2:20 am
i think we should be trying to as sort of balance, try to condemn violence in both sides from whether the right, yes, right and from the left. yep condemn violence. that's a good one, liz. and i think the idea of coming together as a unity, you know, it's working together is nice. but i don't know if this is really everyone working together. i think it's just seeing two sides sort of hitting off each other. you know what? >> you hit the nail on the head there is. there can be no unity. there's two sides. yeah, there's two sides to this. and for the times to call these people far right is, is horrific. these are people who just don't want mass immigration to their country. that doesn't make them not some of them are horrible, but they should be respected, which people do you think the times are calling far right thousand defiance against the far right? >> no, because you said if it's wrong for the times to call them far right. so which people do you think it should be? >> it should be in quotation marks or whatever you call it. no. >> but still, the question which people do you think? do you think it's the people going on a protest against immigration, against or far right? >> do you think it's people? do you think it's people setting fire to a mosque? nice people are out in the street. it's both, i think, when it should be nice people possibly nice
2:21 am
people, maybe nice. exactly. >> so they shouldn't call people on a protest. far right? no, no. but if protest also includes someone saying the people in the protest are far right, they they shouldn't. >> they're saying these nice, these people who are anti—racist, which is also an offensive thing , you know, what offensive thing, you know, what does that mean? anti—racist? not racist. i think, you know, i mean, i mean, i can say, i can say this stuff because i don't care about being arrested, but this country, this country is now flipped over. this is i know you know what it is. i think it's dangerous talk when you say that, when you're against mass immigration, you're automatically a member of the far right. >> and do you think that's what the time's done? >> it's saying yes it is, because yes it is. it's saying those these people who yes, it is not against people throwing stones. they're against even if they were meeting peaceably. look at how many we have and how many have you? >> you unless you're throwing stones in another country where it's considered normal, then that's a good. >> yeah, this is britain. we don't we don't we? >> and also the guy who was wearing a choose love t—shirt getting arrested. i think we can all agree that's the wrong t
2:22 am
shirt to wear when you get sent to prison. yeah, just, you know , to prison. yeah, just, you know, ill advised. oh, yeah, lewis, the sunday telegraph now. and police are looking at social media for their job. i police are looking at social media for theirjob. i have police are looking at social media for their job. i have to media for theirjob. i have to sneak to the loo with my phone to do that. yes >> thank you. specialist police hunt social media influencers who incite riots online. and when i read this, i thought to myself, socialist, socialist police. and then i said, no, no, no specialist police. i mean, the truth is, is that this country needs somebody to look after the government. they're going way and they're not going. they're going way too far. is a crime committed if a crime is committed, because what they want to do is they want to blame some influencer for convincing people they're on the phone. meet me at the corner of smith and wesson and we'll deal with this thing. the truth the truth is, is that the people of this country are really upset and they can't talk about it. and there's they can't talk about it . there's they can't talk about it. now. they're being quelched quelched . quelched. >> definitely. that's no quelched . yeah. quelched. yeah. >> is that a word? they're being quashed. >> is that a word? they're being quashed . and so what can be done
2:23 am
quashed. and so what can be done about it? i mean , they shouldn't about it? i mean, they shouldn't be looking. >> we can fighting two things though, isn't isn't it totally legal to say i'm concerned about migration in a tweet and it's illegal to say , let's all burn illegal to say, let's all burn hotels. and that's what people have been arrested for. >> it might be it might be illegal. let's burn hotels. >> but then there's the law that they were the arrested under and charged under other and the ones that have pled guilty. it's like a 1985 hate law rather. so it's not about the internet. it's not this new fangled hate speech because that's it's not even in yet until ofcom's done it. >> you know what people should be allowed to hate. i believe that they should be allowed to hate. they shouldn't be able to say, we're meeting at the corner, we're going to burn down the oh, so you agree that you shouldn't. yeah, i agree, i agree with that. but for the police to go through the thing and search for these things, they'll know when there's when it's being manipulated. they know right now they're trying to blame the russians. they're trying to blame farage. they're trying to blame farage. they're trying to blame somebody when the truth is it's in the hearts of a lot of a lot of i'm why am iwhy do of a lot of a lot of i'm why am i why do i have to speak for the engush i why do i have to speak for the english people? no you don't.
2:24 am
and the british. >> no, no, i think you're right. this story was so close to, being a good story. i think. i think if the title was that mean. so listen, i'll tell you. so i think if it was, if the title was specialist police hunt, social media influencers online, i would be like, this is a great policy . let's just get a great policy. let's just get rid of all social media influencers. they are the worst . influencers. they are the worst. just below, just above. traffic wardens and estate agents . but wardens and estate agents. but because it's influencers, it's true. yeah, you're proving my point, but yeah. so i think if that was the case, i think nobody, nobody likes this. i think if i'm being serious about this, i think people who are saying we should all rally and, set fire to random buildings , set fire to random buildings, they're bad people saying, i'm concerned about mass immigration. that's okay. then there's you've got the grey zone. if something si king this is war, we should do something but not specifying it. that's a bit of a grey zone. and obviously this is where it gets messy. >> exactly. it's a grey zone. and starmer and those people have stuck their their nose into it. i don't know how it can be stopped. it's right now it's a
2:25 am
the immigration mass migration. the fat is a huge problem. and the fact that people don't think that they can talk about it. >> adam, the sunday telegraph keir starmer isn't as popular as he used to be, so now would be a good time to call that election. rishi, what you did what? >> yes. yes, exactly. so this is from the sunday telegraph. starmer's popularity slumps after criticism of riots response. sir keir starmer has suffered a sharp slump in popularity after criticism of his handling of the riots that have hit britain. now. i guess you could say this is, you know, we think if anyone spent any time online, you'll probably be familiar with the trending hashtag two tier keir. and i think this is really interesting. there was always going to be an end to the honeymoon period, which he was voted in, and everyone was like, yeah, we kind of like him. but also we didn't have any other choice. and i think this was naturally going to happen anyway. and the way of which this has happened, because he's he's basically he addressed the riots, but he didn't actually address some of the sentiment behind it, which was people are concerned about legitimate things. he just said, anyone who's writing is bad and he
2:26 am
didn't. yes, exactly. and he didn't. yes, exactly. and he didn't and he didn't. and this has been his first real test of his leadership. i believe , and i his leadership. i believe, and i think people have basically just seen the scale of the riots across the uk. and i think he's he's a bit sort of like people want him to address the concerns on the right . and but he also on the right. and but he also needs to be tough on the protesters, which he was and which is why this was allowed to be widespread across to be tough on the protesters, you need to be tough on people who are throwing stones. >> yes. and the bad actors within protests, correct? yeah. this keir starmer is a he's a bad man. he's a he's a bad man. what he said about he basically demonised the people who do not like that. they feel their country is being taken over and you know what? i'm i part of that takeover. so i actually i'm not going to say what my side is. >> so this story is interesting because it's an opinion poll about popularity of politicians. and the actual result is he's the most liked politician out of all of the ones surveyed . but all of the ones surveyed. but obviously the telegraph didn't go with that as the headline. no, because he had a he had a popularity rating. >> the best of a bad bunch, though the popularity rating
2:27 am
went up and has gone back to down where it was before. >> yeah. and that is still higher than everyone else. he's got a plus five, whereas we've got a plus five, whereas we've got like a —30 for rishi, —19 or something. for nigel farage. thatis something. for nigel farage. that is completely pointless statistic that you have. well then why did you talk about this story? up until the bit where i brought that in, i don't, i don't know what was the question. >> you wasn't listening . no. the >> you wasn't listening. no. the point the point is, is that these everybody is hated. meanwhile, some groups are going up and the conservatives are going down and the rest are going down and the rest are going down. >> so anyway , lewis, the mail on >> so anyway, lewis, the mail on sunday claims that tommy robinson hates his own supporters, so he should get a job at the guardian. >> yes. this is, this is i was tommy in tommy robinson's inner circle. he hates his own supporters. woman who worked for edl founder claims he wanted to get as far away as possible from his army of fans, and this is this is not even news because everybody who works wants to get away from i don't want what it is. i see these people, they
2:28 am
come to, they come to the show on a on a sunday, right? they come to a show on a sunday. and you know, i'm a very friendly. haha. and then afterwards, just not even afterwards, i'm with them and i want to get the hell away from them. and that's just the way it is in work. we i, i have no work. i saw my father working and it's basically they're looking to badmouth tommy robinson. i'm no big fan of the guy and i shouldn't say anything nice about him, but he's in a really i mean, who do you think is going to lead a position about anti—immigration in a country that's been trained to, you know , to live like to, you know, to live like americans? >> and you take on this, adam. >> and you take on this, adam. >> yeah. i just there was a very interesting quick sentence that one of this woman was describing him saying, rather than hanging out with his army of fans after the protests, he just prefers to hide away at a pub for a vodka and coke. and i just thought that was very demeaning. i thought was very, very funny. >> is that demeaning ? >> is that demeaning? >> is that demeaning? >> is that demeaning? >> i just like vodka. and just sitting there with a little with a straw. just. yes. >> okay. yes. instead of saying having a beer. >> yeah. you know, a nigel farage stickers with a pint of
2:29 am
being strong if you just sit with a vodka coke. yes, it was demeaning. >> it's emasculating. but i saw a picture of the woman, and she's quite beautiful. of coui'se. >> course. >> of course. that's what we focus on. all right, that's it for part two. but coming up, elon musk goes on a non—civil war. there's war on fake news and religion, which is probably also a war story.

next. welcome back to headliners. i'm steve allen still joined by adam kumar and louis schaffer and some news and louis to the sunday telegraph. musk goes to war on advertisers. imagine that. yeah let me finish the thing. >> i'm sorry, sorry, sorry i'm so— >> i'm sorry, sorry, sorry i'm so bad at this telegraph. >> and musk goes to war on advertisers. imagine that having advertisers. imagine that having advertisers. this is my favourite one. it really fits here. it's the one place you could do that joke, >> can i just say something next time? just don't say my name. don't say my name. >> now i say it right at the start so that you don't jump in straight after it. i deliberately put your name at
2:33 am
the start and then think you know how sentences work. >> but you know what? >> but you know what? >> this is why you're in the third chair. >> i know i'm going to be out. there's going to be a fourth chair tomorrow. and anyway, this is elon musk. and he sees how elon musk dropped all pretence of civility wage war on advertising. he's not waging war on advertisers. they basically cut his advertising things. the same thing with us @gbnews. you're watching gb news got huge ratings way more than sky. we put sky practically out of business. we're doing so well. people are paying attention to us and nobody's advertising. sainsbury's is not advertising someone had a satirical take on that in the intro to this story, but i guess we'll never know what that's like now. i wasn't listening to you. i was just so upset that i. >> you're waiting for your turn to speak, weren't you? >> you didn't even wait for it. >> you didn't even wait for it. >> yeah, i didn't even wait. no, i just i >> yeah, i didn't even wait. no, ijust i know >> yeah, i didn't even wait. no, i just i know it's what you say is going to be funny, but that's why i don't have any respect for it. less? yes. >> less funny when it's walked all over. anyway. the point, the point. the point is he did say some swear words. advertisers? >> yeah. he said he told them. he told them. he told the advertisers. but the point is, this has to do with his global alliance for responsible media. it's basically a shill organisation shill. i don't know what that word means. it's
2:34 am
basically an organisation. >> you were good with words earlier , weren't you? earlier, weren't you? >> it's basically an organisation of advertisers so they can say, listen. oh, you, twitter is twitter or x is bad. gb news is bad. that's why we're not advertising in it so that they don't have to make their own decisions. they don't have to call up. they don't have to call up the i used to sell advertising space for back to the story. yeah. so he basically said , hey, you know, i mean, the said, hey, you know, i mean, the fact is he's angry because he paid too much money from it. he comes from south africa where there's like, you know, freedom of the press is not quite as maybe it's better than here, but it's still not good. and he's angry. adam, we should be angry, too. >> adam. i'm just being sold a shill is something you use to quelch something . quelch something. >> yeah, i mean, i think he did declare war because he did say, now it's war. >> i am, i am, and he killed them . he killed this group called. >> he declared he didn't commit. >> he declared he didn't commit. >> he declared he didn't commit. >> he killed them. they they said we're not in business anymore. yes, but he's suing them. >> i am losing count. the amount of times people saying now it's
2:35 am
my twitter feed is full of people declaring war on certain things, whether it's, you know, argos or something else, because you're friends with putin. >> that's war. >> that's war. >> thank you. yes. and i think but he has been put under greater scrutiny, hasn't he, because he's been like everybody. he is a huge troll, which is part of like quite admirable. like despite running all these multiple businesses, being a very objectively intelligent person, but still finding the time to almost troll people on a daily basis constantly, he has been pulled up for retweeting some sort of, some fake news. i think something about talking about detainment camps, which was a fake story, and this is true , fake story, and this is true, though advertisers do not need to advertise with people if they don't need the drama like that. thatis don't need the drama like that. that is as much as i might not agree with the advertisers not working with x, because maybe i agree with some of the things elon says. they're not obliged to advertise to anyone. they would only advertise if they see the revenue. >> and the drama comes from the oppressive other team world. people comes from jeff . yeah. people comes from jeff. yeah. >> from there not. and as much as again as much as i probably
2:36 am
agree with some of the things elon says. yeah, he's not deserved ads like advertisers are very fickle famously with people deserved it. you don't you don't just get ads because you don't just get ads because you should write that those companies are under no legal obugafion companies are under no legal obligation to absolutely no legal obligation. >> but there is a war against war. >> everyone's declaring war. you're right. >> everyone's declaring war. you're right . look, >> everyone's declaring war. you're right. look, he's just doneit you're right. look, he's just done it again. it's non—stop. >> it's not a war. it's like, yes, they don't want to be bothered, but why don't they want to be bothered? >> if he wants to move away from advertising, he basically needs to create a properly paid product. if everybody paid for twitter and had the premium version, this would be a non—issue. >> well, a lot of people are paying. i give them 100 and something pounds, >> adam, the mail on sunday olympic athletes in trouble for wearing political messages on her outfits. who does she think she is? the metropolitan police? >> yeah. so this is. yeah. from the mail on sunday. olympic, breaking athlete disqualified over her political outfit seconds into her routine as she claims she wanted to show people what was possible . and the what was possible. and the unfortunate thing, what was possible was that she'd get disqualified almost immediately. so very unfortunate. now this
2:37 am
woman, very brave. talaash real name, mansour talas, she was, she's a 21 year old, and she was competing for the refugee team in paris, a refugee team in paris, and she was basically her message, was free afghan woman. and this was, obviously a reference to taliban's return to power in august 2000, 2021, which, as we probably know, has been very bad for women, great time to be a man and to go over go over there if you do want to balance. good balance. thank you. now, what is very interesting, i'm very divided by this story. i told you this before, actually, steve, of the before, actually, steve, of the before off the air. i, i agree with this message 100% wholeheartedly, but i do think if the rules are, you shouldn't be displaying political slogans. they probably do need to stand by that, because i could be easily sitting here in this chair with a completely different political message that i'm not happy about and saying, well, that's disgusting . they well, that's disgusting. they shouldn't be doing that. so i need to sort of stand by my morals. and i think i have to
2:38 am
take the side of the taliban on this . this. >> well, unfortunately, the truth about this thing is, is that obviously the sport that she was in and the team that she was on is so inconsequential, she didn't care about losing it, losing her position in the next four years. yeah. and the other side of it is this is kind of like when the when what's his name, when the doors, when he's when jim morrison's, you know, sang that song and he was banned from the ed sullivan show in america and he just said, hey, i've been on the ed sullivan show. that's all that matters. she's gotten way more publicity, made people think about the horribleness of afghanistan. and you know, i say, i say, i say, if she was going, you know, go gaza, i might be upset, but because it was i support. >> and you didn't comment on her level of attractiveness. look at that. you're growing still tired. it's growing as a person, i was. louis, we better move on before you obviously do the sunday times. religion can bring people together to hate other people together to hate other people in other religions. >> yes. this is one of those
2:39 am
things in the sunday times about religions can move towards their duty of peace. it's all about how how it is real and is inside israel. there was a thing of palestinians and israelis getting together to talk about religion, and it's like a lie . religion, and it's like a lie. they're not palestinians in israel. they're israelis of they're arab israelis. that's i mean, they might call themselves palestinians, just as the jews call themselves palestinians . call themselves palestinians. before, before israel was founded. this is a total non—story. religion can be used for love or hate. it's and now it's a religion of hate. you can't. you're not going to stop a guy can't. you're not going to stop a guy with a machete and saying, hey, you know, i know your religion says this, but it also says it. >> yeah , you're justify things. >> yeah, you're justify things. you know, people whatever justify things . justify things. >> yeah. as like rodney king says, can we just get what did he say? can we just get a little rodney i this when i read this story it is interesting i think there's yeah it is true
2:40 am
religions can move towards their duty of peace. >> but as we all know, it's quite often the opposite, i'm taken back to a great jim jefferies bit where he's talking about he's criticising religion and he's like saying, i believe in atheism because you've never you'll never see somebody, you'll never see somebody, you'll never see a beheading video saying in the name of nothing. and then does it, it's like you would never see that. so yes, you would. >> of course you would. what do you think keir starmer is doing? there are a bunch of atheists and they're all the beheadings that he's done. >> yes. yeah. why hasn't that not been covered in the news? sue gray has been keeping it from me. >> what do you think we've done in in the ukraine? it's a form of beheading. yeah. you're not smacking the guy with a knife, but you're hitting. >> but let's not. let's not conflate metaphorical beheading to actual beheading. >> it's not this different. >> it's not this different. >> this is a 5 am. show, i think, as well. >> oh, yes . sorry. yeah. >> oh, yes. sorry. yeah. >> oh, yes. sorry. yeah. >> all right, adam, to the sunday telegraph . pupils to be sunday telegraph. pupils to be taught to spot fake news. yeah. five little ducks swimming one day. yeah, right. that duck mother was a bad parent. simple as. >> yeah. so this is from the sunday telegraph. schools to wage war on putrid fake news in
2:41 am
anti—extremism crackdown, after the riots , pupils as young as the riots, pupils as young as five will be given the critical thinking skills to identify misinformation online. now, this is very interesting because i've worked in schools before, i worked in schools before, i worked before i started doing comedy. i used to work in schools with children, of around the same age, and children as young as five struggle to use scissors. so i don't know if going out and trying to get them to know about what's true and what's not, and critical thinking. i'd be happy if most five year olds could just think rather than critically think. >> no, a very good point. >> no, a very good point. >> thank you. i'm full of them. i think the idea of, the idea of teaching people to children to critically think is very, very good.i critically think is very, very good. i think the idea to always ask questions, to always make not, you know, be aware of echo chambers. i don't know how you'd explain that to a child , but. explain that to a child, but. and also looking, learning to look for evidence. these are core principles that maybe we should be telling children throughout their life. however, what this because it's now this
2:42 am
anti—extremism crackdown. what this does lend itself to is are we telling people to actually critically think, why are we just telling people these are the wrong things? these are the wrong things, and you should believing in this. >> what do you adam, what do you think they're saying? they're saying go kill white people. that's what they're saying. they're saying they're saying, you know, if you if your parents say this, maybe you should come and tell us so we can go after your parents. that's what this is all about. it's all about police state 101. this is how they do things. it's like when you see when you . that's how you see when you. that's how they do things. at the end of they do things. at the end of the week . the week. >> but the opposite of that is don't teach any critical thinking to anyone. or we don't want people critically thinking, yeah, that's awesome. >> yeah. well, do you want to know something? that's why there should not be public schools. >> what's what's very interesting is that whatever you call whatever you call state, state owned school. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> well it's interesting. >> well it's interesting. >> well, it's the idea is that when i was younger, we were they were telling us how to build websites, and now we're telling us how to spot fake ones. so it's a very good. >> that's very progress. yeah. are you the scruffy one. somebody somebody online calls
2:43 am
you . calls one of us. the you. calls one of us. the scruffy one does that. me? no. >> it's you. with the way you've tied that tie, just the final section to go. then up next, dancing, sex raising children. i can how one leads to the
2:44 am
2:45 am
2:46 am
welcome back to the final section of headliners adam to the sun on sunday. have you seen the sun on sunday. have you seen the clip of the olympic breakdown, sir? i thought i was watching another one of those videos of someone getting tasered. >> yeah , absolutely. this is. >> yeah, absolutely. this is. yeah. so this is from the sun on sunday. breakdancer like toddler goes viral with olympic fans cringing as they say most second—hand embarrassment ever, yeah. this was basically it's a bit of a weird story, but the idea that the sport of breakdancing made its debut in the 2024 paris games was the only new addition this summer. so i don't actually know. i didn't realise this was the first time it actually featured, and i think what's happened with this dance is a is a sort of real case to sort of maybe get rid of it for future ones. it's,
2:47 am
it was basically an australian lady, rachel, gun . and she was lady, rachel, gun. and she was australia's top dancing, top dancing breakdancer. and she basically was just doing the weirdest, like, i don't even really watch breakdancing. and i couldn't tell you what great breakdancing was, but i watched the video and i thought , that's the video and i thought, that's not breakdancing. yeah, someone just doing weird shuffles . like just doing weird shuffles. like a lot of dad dancing. >> 2024 is a weird year to bring it in, because 2024 is not in the 1980s when this would have been. >> but even even then, what do they call that? when you when you, you you steal someone's culture? it's cultural appropriation. cultural appropriation. cultural appropriation. that's what it is. it's not it's not even my culture. it's it comes from the bronx originally and new york, it's american and black people. and so it's horrible. i didn't watch this . it's not a sport. watch this. it's not a sport. there's no ball involved or somebody getting shot and die. there's nothing. it's not i don't even know what the definition of a sport is. >> are you are you denying the five key fundamentals for to how judge breakdancing? top rock footwork , go downs, freezes and
2:48 am
footwork, go downs, freezes and power moves? >> i'm not denying that. >> i'm not denying that. >> what would your power move be? lewis? >> my power move? well, it depends how attractive the people are. okay, okay, >> lewis, the sunday times. how do you write a good description of sex? i don't know if i've ever managed it because they. no one ever replies to those dms, >> how to write sex scenes without making people cringe. and this is an article written by a woman who's a beautiful woman and she's. >> oh, i don't know. oh, he's got a new catchphrase now i did. oh, yeah. >> beautiful women, lovely with shakespeare. they love that. i'm looking for. and she's writing about. she goes and she , she's about. she goes and she, she's sitting at home of kids are napping for an hour or two. she goes interview the neighbour across the way who's a writer. and it's just the stupidest non—story ever. ever. no one people people don't know this. but on the weekends, the newspapers are bigger and they got space. there's not as much news, so they have to have people like this write these huge long articles and say , huge long articles and say, basically, i don't like sex. >> adam, can we answer the
2:49 am
question, what are the top tips? maybe that's part of it. yeah. >> top tips without making it. how to write sex scenes without making people cringe. i think the answer is to not write them and just remove them. i'm them . and just remove them. i'm them. yeah, just i mean, i i've never i've never enjoyed watching an excellent watching a sex scene in a movie because no matter who you're with, if you're watching it when you're younger and your parents are in the room, it's really awkward if you're watching it with a partner and you actually kind of like maybe think, oh, okay, maybe that person is quite attractive. you're getting you're getting in trouble for doing that as well. so it's a lose lose situation . i so it's a lose lose situation. i think i prefer the director like guy ritchie , who doesn't guy ritchie, who doesn't famously doesn't have sex scenes. tarantino doesn't really have any sex scenes. and if you do want to really write sex scenes , just admit you want to scenes, just admit you want to write adult entertainment. you know, don't. >> yes . yeah. >> yes. yeah. >> yes. yeah. >> because the truth is, if a woman loves you, or if a man loves you, if a woman loves you, they're going to love having sex with you. if they don't love you, they're not going to like having sex. >> and how does that pertain to movies? >> it pertains to movies. if there's love in the movie, i don't know. >> you're right. it doesn't. yeah. good point. adam the i
2:50 am
there's that new trendy phrase of helicopter parenting. and yet we're the generation where our parents bought us a chopper. >> yeah. so this is, from the i. what happens when helicopter kids grow up or don't? and this is sort of talking a bit about what we're seeing, i guess a little bit within my generation as well. you've got financial dependence and low self—esteem are just a few of the reasons why 30 something adults are still relying on their parents to solve their problems , finds to solve their problems, finds jennifer sizeland , i think jennifer sizeland, i think nobody likes people who are who can't sort of fend for themselves. there's the insult of saying, you know , that person of saying, you know, that person they sort of breastfed into their adult life or, there is this idea of if you are constantly if you're constantly coddled as a child, you sort of lack the major skills you need as an adult, whether it's problem solving skills, not allowing people to make mistakes and learn from them, we all probably all aware with the idea of victimhood and everyone saying this is not my fault, not because of my own shortcomings, but because of a societal, society working against me, i don't know , i think. is there
2:51 am
don't know, i think. is there some truth to this ? maybe, but some truth to this? maybe, but also, we don't want to acknowledge we don't also shouldn't probably not a real story. >> you spend too much time thinking about it. it's not a real story. it's another one of these stories. a woman who wants to make a little money while her kids are, you know, at home, you know, it's like she's a freelance writer. she's a freelance writer. she's a freelance writer. she's a freelance writer and say, oh, i had a situation where some some woman i spoke to some woman and her her father came and started to, you know, yell at me and so i make that an article. the truth is, every parent is worried about overdoing their kid or underdoing their kid. it's the question, have you done a good job? would you say no? i what do you think? i've done a good job. of course i haven't done a good job. but, you know, they're not. it could have been worse. that's that's the point, though. you have to look at these stories. tomorrow is. tomorrow is sunday. there's going to be. tomorrow is sunday. tomorrow is sunday. this is going to be in in the i. >> they got a lewis the observer takeaway food isn't healthy. no. does their takeaway eating bear struggle to poo in the woods. >> yeah that's exactly true . but
2:52 am
>> yeah that's exactly true. but the woman would still rather be with a bear than with a guy . with a bear than with a guy. >> that's a nice throwback to a few months ago. >> yeah, yeah . nobody. nobody >> yeah, yeah. nobody. nobody knows what i'm talking about. anyway. more than 75% of popular takeaway and restaurant food is unhealthy, the study finds. this is in the observer and they're saying salt to protein, salt , saying salt to protein, salt, sugar to big a portions are making food . the truth is, it's making food. the truth is, it's based on government guidelines , based on government guidelines, which are always wrong. it's based on the health of the health beliefs. >> so are you saying takeaway food is healthy ? food is healthy? >> i'm saying that's all. >> i'm saying that's all. >> sounds like all not 75% of it, 100% of every bit of takeaway food is the only food, 100% is more than 75%. yes, i'm saying i'm not saying none of it is. i'm saying is that the all of it, the only thing that's healthy, there's nothing you can get that's healthy. i mean, eggs, you can go to a cafe and get eggs, but they cooking it in horrible oils. >> and yeah, i don't know any take on this story. >> yeah. i think i just wanted to add saying that 99%. no, i think, you know, you're right. i just wanted to add that saying 99% of cigarettes also adversely
2:53 am
affect sort of health. nice. so any other sort of like you know what i heard? >> i heard that only 7 to 10%, something like that of the people who smoke cigarettes get lung cancer. so it's not like cigarette smoking. is that 97? >> are you in the pocket of big tobacco? >> i might be 77 only. >> i might be 77 only. >> oh 7%. look that up. it's a very interesting statistic. and so. so cigarette is that what we should be teaching our kids? you shouldn't smoke because it cduses. >> causes. >> no, you shouldn't smoke. but all takeaways are healthy for you. was your your takeaway. >> no. because cigarettes are actually much more dangerous than just getting cancer. >> if you eat those items and you can get them delivered now with delivery as well. >> sadly, as much as that's the dietary information from the show that we wanted today, the show that we wanted today, the show is nearly over. so let's take another quick look at sunday's front pages. the sunday telegraph goes with schools to wage war on putrid fake news. the mail on sunday security chiefs pm kept in dark by aide sue gray. the observer riots will set back efforts to rebuild
2:54 am
our broken justice system, warns minister. the inews says reeves eyes fuel duty hike in budget. but voters are opposed. yeah, the sunday times rioters face ten year terms, warns cps boss star. on sunday i saw the ghost of lemmy riding a horse and eating a ghost pizza. that's all we've got time for. thank you to my guests adam kubas and louis schaefer. we're back tomorrow at 11:00 pm where some other people will be doing this. if you're watching at five, stay tuned for breakfast and have yourself a good one. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb. news on. gb. news >> hello! welcome to your gb news. a weather update from the met office as we go through sunday. it's going to be a warm with plenty of sunshine turning hotter even on monday, with the risk of some thunderstorms. looking at the bigger picture, we had this waving front through today, bringing quite a lot of cloud , but high pressure will cloud, but high pressure will become more established as we go
2:55 am
through sunday. but back to tonight. we've still got a legacy of some cloud across parts of the south west, and definitely across parts of the engush definitely across parts of the english channel two. but elsewhere, clear spells developing , any showers across developing, any showers across scotland, generally fading and under the clear skies. it will turn quite fresh in rural spots, but in the south are quite muggy and uncomfortable night to come, with temperatures here holding up at 16 to 18 degrees, so through the start of sunday morning, then plenty of sunshine first thing across parts of scotland. still, with the risk of the odd shower further towards the north, across northern ireland, northern parts of england, plenty of sunshine, perhaps turning a bit hazy with some high level cloud and then further towards the south. it's still quite a bit of cloud around. should stay largely dry and as we go through the day, that cloud should start breaking up, lifting and moving back towards the coast. but there may just be some fog still lingering here. elsewhere, though , plenty
2:56 am
here. elsewhere, though, plenty of sunshine on offer and it's going to be feeling warm and humid as well, especially in the south. we could see temperatures rising here 27, possibly 29 degrees, but elsewhere even reaching up to 20 to 22 degrees as we go through monday, we've got low pressure dominating, bringing some heavy, thundery rain northeastwards , affecting rain northeastwards, affecting northern ireland and parts of scotland, so expect some frequent lightning here. elsewhere, largely dry , plenty elsewhere, largely dry, plenty of sunshine. it's going to be feeling hot and humid in the south. we could see temperatures rising up to 32, possibly 33 degrees, and then turning fresher tuesday and wednesday. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news
