this is headliners. but before tomorrow's news, let's go to tonight's headlines with sam francis. >> very good evening from the newsroom. the top story tonight. well, russia's president vladimir putin has apologised to azerbaijan for a christmas day plane crash that killed, sadly, 38 people. but he stopped short of admitting that russia was to blame. the aircraft, reportedly hit by shrapnel from russian air defence systems, crash landed in kazakhstan after being forced to divert from chechnya. ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy has also accused moscow of spreading disinformation, saying the damage did resemble a missile strike. us officials have also said russia is responsible, while azerbaijan believes the crash was caused by external interference. investigations are now underway, with various teams examining the
11:01 pm
crash site. nigel farage says that elon musk is an absolute hero to young voters, and claims he'll help reform uk to win them oven he'll help reform uk to win them over. in an interview with the telegraph, the reform uk leader hinted that mr musk could make a reasonable sized donation, insisting it would be legal and above board. it comes as farage has demanded an apology from kemi badenoch after she accused reform of faking membership numbers. the tory leader says reform online tally overtaking registered tory members, she says smells of fakery. farage, though, has denied those claims, calling them baseless. heavy fog has continued to cause delays and cancellations at some of the uk's busiest airports today. the majority of flights at gatwick and stansted were affected this afternoon, and delays are predicted late into the night. a number of other delays were also reported at manchester and birmingham airports, with dozens of flights delayed at heathrow. while the knock on effects from friday's delays also meant
11:02 pm

11:03 pm
reforms by mid january. it follows figures that show the uk economy flatlined between july and september. labour, though, says it is pulling every lever to deliver the highest sustained economic growth in the g7. but the conservatives blame the government's policies for stalling progress. gb news can reveal today that 1300 migrants have now crossed the english channel since christmas day, as hundreds more crossed today. it comes as the home office confirmed 305 people arrived yesterday in five small boats. shadow home secretary chris philp has blamed sir keir starmer for scrapping conservative measures like the rwanda plan, saying that labour's approach is an insult to the british people. the prime minister, though, has promised to smash the gangs. but that comes as more than 22,000 people have so far arrived since he took office, up 25% on last yeah took office, up 25% on last year. those are the latest headunes year. those are the latest headlines for now. i'll be back with you in an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your
11:04 pm
smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code or go to gbnews.com/alerts. >> hello and welcome to headliners, your first look at tomorrow's top stories with three comedians. before we dive in, let's have a look at tomorrow's front pages. we can start with the mail on sunday. kemi's fury at tv chiefs favouring farage. more on that later. i imagine sunday express uk's £4 million pledge to find putin's cruel war criminals, the observer patients at risk as nhs urgent repair costs triple in decade. the sunday telegraph has families face £8,000 new year raid. the sun on sunday apprentice stars in hotel romp could be about donald trump. maybe we'll find out more. and daily star sunday goes with rise of killer robot fridges. all right, josh, let's start with
11:05 pm
the mail on sunday. i mean, before we get into the meat of it, it's a good joke that cruz beckham does, isn't it.7 >> yeah. jesus was a nepo baby. yeah. nice. >> yeah, it's a good it's a bad day to do that joke because the story next to it is so big it's going to take. >> i don't know why he's been mocked. yeah, yeah. fair enough. good, good. good for you, mate. i shouldn't say nailed it. >> if talking about jesus. anyway, sorry, i do apologise. >> move on. kemi's fury as tv chiefs favouring nigel farage. and this is. it's like we're in the news again. our boss is in the news again. our boss is in the news, so we have to be obviously very careful what we say here. and i just want to say that i side with our boss very strangely. >> so brave. >> so brave. >> i like kemi badenoch, but supposedly she met up with our ceo before christmas and said, are you giving nigel farage a lot of airtime? but that's because nigel farage works here. that might have something to do with it. and also it might be that he's actually really good at stunts and things, you know, like like, for example, putting the numbers up onto tory hq,
11:06 pm
things like that. they're clever like that. >> you mean politics? politics? oh, yeah. >> there's a word. >> there's a word. >> even just politics. i mean, there is a level of intelligence about the way they play the system. like when the prince andrew spy h6. we ended up talking about reform because it was richard tice who said he might be using parliamentary privilege to name him. right. so this is a story that is so far away from politics, and yet they get themselves on the front pages. >> two guys in manchester. >> two guys in manchester. >> it's clever. yeah, exactly. get a court case which is putting you on the front page again. >> i think it's i think kemi is being a bit harsh. i mean, yeah, nigel farage on his own show may be a touch biased towards nigel farage. it's possible i'm going to allow that possibility. >> he's not self—hating like us, is he right? >> i'm a fair man, but i don't think there's a particular bias against kemi. i happen to favour jenrick over kemi. but. but if farage does something i don't agree with, i'll say that as well. and actually one of the strongest criticisms against farage recently came from a gb news us interview from steven edgerton. and farage got quite a lot of blowback off that interview for stuff he said about immigration policy. so i don't think it's the case. lots of people have been very pro.
11:07 pm
kemi andrew doyle was very pro kemi, so i've been critical of it, but i think people just give their opinion. i don't think there's an anti kemi conspiracy. >> no i know i'm pro kemi and but she made a mistake here. >> it seems like which mistake coming for gb news. >> no. the two mistakes are to jump >> no. the two mistakes are to jump into this thing saying accusing them. obviously someone said to her this information that this basically for anybody who's not up with the story, they, they reform have got now over 150,000. that's another part of the story is because this has become such a big story, they've got an extra 20,000 people over the last few days, members, and they put their little clicker up on a projection on the tory hq. and then because it happened in like then because it happened in like the middle of christmas day, there was not very much news on christmas day. so suddenly that becomes the big story. and she said, no, it's all fake because the clicker was too automatic. but actually, it turns out it wasn't most likely. and nigel farage has said, well, no, you can come and look at our numbers. and so and the second part of the story is that she
11:08 pm
has then apologised. yeah, that's the other part. >> so he they've revealed the code behind the ticker to, i think the telegraph, sky news. i'm just sat here like a, like a spare wheel. anyone else? another news channel might want to see the code. i should have brought it in with you. do you know there's another criticism? but do you not think that what kevin did wrong. she's not playing politics very well at all. it's fake. that's. well, you've gone all in then. and then he'll say, well, sue us or we'll sue you. whereas farage would have played it more clever with questions like, well, i'm not saying it's fake, but why is it going up in the middle of the night? he could have done it like that. just questions that. he then says, well, i'm not saying it's fake. >> yeah, i'm only going to go into because it's on the telegraph in the next story. do you want to do it there? >> let's go. move on. >> yeah. well because the telegraph has, has that it has must slaps fake label on badenoch online post as one of their stories. now this is quite misleading because musk doesn't really do this. actually, a guy called lee harris did it. he put a community note up, and then that's rated by the group of people who rate these things. and it's meant to take a sort of independent people of different,
11:09 pm
if not people of different views agree with it. that's how the community notes are rated. so it's a bit weird to say musk slaps fake label. but what happenedis slaps fake label. but what happened is there was a community note put on it, so it's not gone very well for kemi in that regard. anything else you want to say on that one? >> well, just i just think it's a bit silly to argue about this whether, oh, whether it's a thousand more or less and getting bogged down in these little details. the fact is the on the positive side for reform, if you're going to say they're going to go, yeah, we've got like an engaged membership and our numbers have gone up and we beat the tories. on the negative side of that, if you want to do some criticism, let's go for criticism of that. what does that membership mean. is it actually a membership at all because it's i believe it's like you're signing up to a private company. it's not it's not membership like a membership, like traditional membership parties where you might have things like a vote in the leader, things like that. so that's there we go. that's some criticism of reform, isn't it? we've done our job. >> you'd have to be really certain. you were right. and it seems like she probably wasn't unless she comes back with like, other data and it's like, no, look at my data. but it seems
11:10 pm
like a big mistake, a big mistake. it's a mistake for legal reasons. >> it says here a gb news spokesman. oh, we've got a spokesman. oh, we've got a spokesman said that a meeting took place without any acrimony and was very constructive. >> okay. who was the gb news spokesman? >> i don't know. >> i don't know. >> who was he? >> who was he? >> i can't. hello. >> who's not acrimonious around here? >> who did they find? all i can say is the meeting went well. guys. >> that's all i want to say. one more thing on the story, in that the reason why it looked like it might be suspicious was because 29 people signed up between 3 am. and 4 am, and what they don't understand is this is what the kids are doing nowadays. they're getting it. they're hooking up with their mates. it's three in the morning and they drop the price. reform drop they drop the price. reform drop the price for a tenner. people are sitting around, they're smoking. they're like, you know, this joy, this joy that reform, you know. and that's what that's what happened. >> what accent was that again? >> what accent was that again? >> that's the way that people, young people speak. >> reform voter. >> reform voter. >> xl bully reform voter. i'm sure that's exactly how it happened. yeah, that makes insomniacs all total. it's the new. it's what all the kids are doing on tiktok. >> is it all right, josh? on to the next one we've got. what's
11:11 pm
the next one we've got. what's the front page of the observer? >> oh, the observer, yes. although there is something on the telegraph story a bit more about families face £800,000 new year tax rate. so this is middle class families and but the way they're talking about middle class families is they're going, well, you know, they're going to have to pay another this many thousand to their private school. and i'm going really? so that sounds more posh than middle class 7% isn't it. >> people going to private schools. >> private schools. yes. but essentially we're all paying a lot of tax. and even people who aren't middle class, it's based on two adults with a salary of 55 grand each. >> yeah. can't be. many of them left in this country can. you've got a stable family and you're making that much money. it's got to be about ten of them. and there's also. >> and there's a pill possibly coming to the nhs for alzheimer's, which is a really big deal because i'm going to get that for sure. >> all my family got it and it was developed in aberdeen. yeah, yeah. aberdeen. yeah. >> same for me with both my parents. i mean, everyone who's older than me in the family has
11:12 pm
basically had alzheimer's. so i'm just fingers crossed i've been born at the right time for these drugs to come in. yeah. otherwise it does feel like the train's coming down. >> no, it's really good because it's already become a test subject. well, it's just there are already a couple of drugs that have been shown to work that have been shown to work that have been turned down by the nhs. so this is this is a big deal. and i'm hopeful. anyway. other news first pill to slow alzheimer's could be coming to the nhs. i had to i had to do it. it's the oldest joke in the classics at christmas. oh old school. all right. observer patients at risk as nhs urgent repair costs triple in decade. this is the bills basically urgent repairs to hospitals. they're getting behind on them. and the more they get behind the more appointments get put off. but on top of that, the more it's going to cost them to do the fixing when they finally get around to it. so that's obviously not great. >> yeah, i was in the hospital just before christmas. i had an x ray of my face. my face doesn't quite fit itself. apparently. it looks good to me. yeah, it looks i think it looks alright. >> i think it looks better. >> i think it looks better. >> jaw—jaw is misaligned, apparently. so what have you
11:13 pm
been doing? well, just chewing on one side, but they're trying to gnaw away at the restraints. look at the look on your face. >> i've got to have an x ray. >> it wasn't a sexual reference. >> it wasn't a sexual reference. >> no no no, no. just fascinated. go on. i want to know more about your face, stephen. so does the nation. yeah. >> it doesn't, it's not. it looks all right, doesn't it? and that's all you need from a face. that's what i'm saying. but the hospitals just look like they were built in the 70s and not improved since. >> yeah, that's what that's what it is. yeah. >> they're running windows xp and rubbish like that aren't they? >> you're saying i'm nhs isn't the envy of the world, steve. that's what it sounds like to me. >> how dare i love how it's the computer system that's really got your goat. i was standing there and i was looking at her and she was typing it in. i was like, that's xp. >> are you not more angry about the incinerator? look, anger at plans for 41 dirty incinerators. oh, dirty. which is perfect because it sounds like an insult. and it is because they're saying, well, you don't want them because they're dirty in all senses. >> take your rubbish away to burn it. i'm going to smoke it up and create power. >> whoa. it's not the kind of dirty i normally google for, so i've not really read the details on that story. on to the next one. what's the next front page?
11:14 pm
>> fine, it's the sunday times. oh, there's so many stories. i don't know which one to start with. how about this one? it's more interesting. farage could take 67 seats from labour suggests polls so more in common than a poll puts reform. not that we're biased, of course. kemi could get some seats as well, but actually it does put conservatives on 222. labour on 228. so we've got that to look forward to. lib dems 58 ed davey sort of theme park strategy not paying sort of theme park strategy not paying off in this poll, and snp at 37. so this is just a poll, of course, but reform do very well in this theoretical poll. >> yes. it is interesting to see that also that they're focusing on that part of the seats that are taken away from labour. of course, the conversation at the moment, certainly today is tories reform, but they do also have an impact on on labour as well, don't you think? >> i mean, it's so far out that who knows what the playing field would be like when we get to another election. but surely it's a case of let labour implode and then take on the tories. if you were reform and i'm not, and stop talking about reform. >> it's great you love me, i love kemi, i heart kemi is what
11:15 pm
i've got tattooed. >> but that would be the strategy wouldn't it? because laboun strategy wouldn't it? because labour, the way things are going, they're tanking themselves in the polls. so you want to attack the tories right now? that's how you win. >> i mean, but this is the thing about polls, isn't it? the elections four and a half years away potentially. so this is all about if this could this be part of his plan, labour's plan. and then we have the upswing in a couple of years. we'll see. but at the moment they've not had a great start obviously. >> and they've also i suppose our main story is middle class support , vat on private schools, support, vat on private schools, says phillipson. so bridget phillipson very objective on this policy. and she says people love it. middle class parents have largely been priced out of private schools, and that's why there's such support for our policy. >> so she thinks we're providing any evidence for that particular theory. >> this is biased as nigel farage being pro nigel farage. how dare they? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> it's ridiculous. >> it's ridiculous. >> i'm going to get in trouble. do you want to do the assad story? because there's also dump files show families spiralling each other in assad's surveillance state, and people are even, you know, there's all sorts of families were spying on each other, including children. people were going to prison. it
11:16 pm
sounds like starmer's uk is just horrific. so sorry. i had to say that you've had a fun christmas then. >> yeah, that's what i'm taking from that story. and anything a bit lighter. >> if we had daily star, daily star, rise of the killer robot fridges and this is just a classic ai coming in to, you know, make our food cold when we want it. >> not that classic, is it? because, like, the terminator wasn't a fridge famously was. >> well, i'm surprised they haven't actually done a kind of killer fridge type movie. yeah, or your appliances kind of coming against, you know, an update on disney, you know, with mickey when he was. yeah, yeah. and all that. but do it with these killer appliances. yeah. >> doo doo doo doo doo doo. i've not even been given a star. which is classic anti—nuke sentiment that's rife on this channel. it's a haven for can we see a generic guy just get on board with the kemi? >> let's speak to the gb news spokesman. i think a woman could be a woman here. lots of women work here as well. it's not though, is it? >> find out. to be fair, coming up, that's all because the front pages are sorted on the way. what we all think of 2025 elon
11:17 pm
11:20 pm
i'm steven alan still joined by josh howie and nick dixon. you can get involved by going to gbnews.com/yoursay. we've got one that comes from andy that says badenoch wah wah sob sob sob. what a toddler. and for balance, i'll just find one that's pro kemi. it's going to be one down here somewhere. the nick to the sun and the story of a royal prince, an american billionaire. but this one doesn't end up in a woking pizza express. >> great point steve. it's trump to make history with second state visit to uk hosted by king
11:21 pm
charles after loving with handsome wills. not a literal one, i believe. and the handsome thing is quite funny actually, because trump said some people look better in person. it's a weird compliment. it's like, am ihappy weird compliment. it's like, am i happy about that? you're saying i look rubbish in all my media appearances and, you know, would you like, would you, would you rather look better in person or. yeah, it's a good question, isn't it? i think you'd rather look better in person, but would you rather be told it? i don't know actually. for me, probably on camera, because no one ever sees me in person. i only live on on screen. your eye. so. but just to just to get to the main point, basically there's not much of a point really. trump. the fact is trump's coming over again and he'll be the first ever elected politician to be hosted for a second time by the royal family. so there you go. obviously the late queen. he seemed to get on well with it. he loves the royal family. we need to make the most of this and get our trade deal. but i think it's a good thing because trump just loves britain, because his mother loved britain. he's got the golf courses, he loves the queen and he actually gets on with charles. it seems, despite their ostensible differences on things like the climate, because trump wants to drill, baby, drill. and ihear wants to drill, baby, drill. and
11:22 pm
i hear that's not charles's favourite thing, you know. >> yeah, he's want to drill babies. it seems there's very little oil available in a baby. yeah, i've looked into it. >> well, what question number one is will there be protests like they were last time baby oil just realised? >> i'm wrong about that. it's literally a type of oil. >> sorry. which was the big inflatable baby there. so is there going to be protests again? yes. well as you know, i went to the protests there. i would not go again. things have changed a job. well, i don't know if i maybe i go reporting this time, but there are some interesting things i would like to say about the story. number one is benedict cumberbatch. he also looks better in real life. >> oh, i thought we were just saying random access. i thought the alzheimer's drug and number two is i think that prince william hear me out should possibly offer his services, intimate services. >> if it gets us a free trade deal >> if it gets us a free trade deal. yeah. and i think in that case, that would win over a lot
11:23 pm
of republicans to monarchy, to royalists. i, i'm just throwing i'm throwing out there. >> you can get these two nations back together. we could claim a lot of back tax. imagine the amount they owe us now. and we could just be in charge of america again. >> i'll tell you who has the vision and diplomacy to solve this. kemi badenoch. >> she's good. >> she's good. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> you got us out of a hole there, josh. the sunday telegraph bad news. brits think 2025is telegraph bad news. brits think 2025 is going to be even worse. good news. at least we can spot a trend. >> yeah. so yeah, britain's believed 2025 will be worse than 2024. in a blow for starmer. i don't know how much of a blow blow it is. like all of these polls, anything that really happens, it's just it's immaterial. nothing is going to get him to not be the prime minister for however many years now for the next 3 or 4 years. but there are two things that are kind of revealed here. first of all, two thirds of people don't think that labour are going to sort out the boats crisis or the nhs, certainly within the next year. and they may be right. but whether these
11:24 pm
steps will be able to be developed during this year and we'll see some growth, we'll see. but the main thing is that people are a bit pessimistic about this country, and i think thatis about this country, and i think that is that is maybe one of the biggest mistakes that they have made coming in, focusing on this, the black hole and just being very sort of pessimistic as opposed to coming in like change and hope and tony blair and things can only get better. and obama and coming giving that vibe because i think people are just down on the country now. >> he literally said, things will only get worse. i mean, it's yes, people are concerned about immigration, both legal and illegal nhs waiting lists, but you've also got low wages. look at how wages compared to america, you've got high bills, of course, housing problems, censorship and narco tyranny crimes. you've got prisoners release, you've got low birth rate, general western decline. starmer himself being miserable. and, as josh says, offering no vision of hope. you've got world war iii looming. so yeah, people are just incredibly miserable. i mean, it's not really a rocket
11:25 pm
science, is it? and starmer has not offered anything to help us with that. he's made it worse. >> all of the things on that list, if you'd have put low birth rate at the end, it would have made sense. like, yeah, of course no one's going to feel in the mood to get frisky with all that stuff on your mind. of course, you can't focus on the job. >> no, exactly. unless you're, you know, prince william, nick, the sunday telegraph and america's visas for highly skilled migrants have been defended by checks, notes. >> an overachieving south african. go figure. >> yeah, well, this is massive. so this is elon musk threatens war with maga republicans. and if you've missed it, it's all been kicking off on actually, ironically, elon musk's own platform, twitter x for a long time. it's about the h—1b visa. and it's a kind of civil war in the trump movement. so on the musk side, he's claiming that we need these visas to bring in the top talent. he calls it the top 0.1% of engineers into america. and he says he's come in this way and he's been in favour of it. and against that is the kind of argument. no, it's about american jobs first. and in fact, these visas don't even work because you have like,
11:26 pm
accountants coming on these visas and all sorts of things. so the system is a scam anyway, is the counter. and philosophically, america is a nation, not a sports team. so musk has compared it to a sports team saying we have to compete with china and so on by having the best people in tech. i, you know, manufacturing stem, basically, and the counter is no, no, it's about america first. that was the movement. but trump sort of musk has arguably the movement. and you see steve bannon has been criticising musk very strongly on this. and that's almost like the original vision of maga 2016 versus 2020 for maga, which is this libertarian musk thing that's very, very different. and just to sort of breaking thing was just this evening in the in the uk, trump has offered this comment on it because the key thing was which side is trump going to come down on? he's spoken to the new york post and implied that he likes h1—b visas, and all his people in his mar—a—lago have them. but some people are saying, hang on, is that even true? he's talking about temporary visas. he's not he's not talking about tech. so we have to wait and see if trump really meant that, because occasionally he says something that's not completely on message. so this is this is the
11:27 pm
question which side will trump and vance come down on. >> so some of his wives have been imports. so surely he's in favour. yeah. >> look it of course like any of these things they're open to loopholes and exploitation. and yes, it sounds like this visa isn't designed to bring over accountants. it is meant to be bringing over the. it makes sense if we want to let's we'll take we'll take all those super brainboxes who are going to create the next tesla and make a billion, trillion pound company that will create lots of work and taxes and pay lots of taxes and taxes and pay lots of taxes and whatnot. so but the element that's sort of not been mentioned here is there is a racist element. you're not going to be this on the right. and part of this comes down to like them literally saying on twitter and these different saying we don't want any foreigners here. and they're particularly referencing skin colour as well. and it's and he is coming out and that's what he's saying. he's saying they're hateful, unrepentant racists, which there are on the right now. there are people on the right who aren't and just want to make america great again for everybody. but there are some racists on the
11:28 pm
right, believe it or not. and let's not pretend that those people aren't there. and he is calling them out and saying he's going to go to war with them because that's what they seem to think. oh no, let's keep basically for them, it's like, let's keep america white, essentially is what they're trying to say. and there is that part of the story. >> what's quite amusing about thatis >> what's quite amusing about that is musk himself, who's and by the way, musk has been awful on this because whatever you think to the actual argument, his tone, he's basically called americans stupid repeatedly on twitter. and it's an extraordinary tone for the richest man in the world to take. it really does feel like punching down, to use that phrase. and it's really tone deaf. and he's not he's not speaking as a politician here. he's speaking as someone who runs factories and needs cheap workers who will come over and won't have the same rights as americans, will be paid less, you can work them to the bone. and that racist comment is quite funny. he says that republicans need to kick out hateful, unrepentant racists, and i do think some people will be a bit bored of having had eight years being called racist by the left, and now musk come in immediately calling them racist. i mean, it's an upgrade. the richest man in the world is now calling it racist, but are you genuinely saying there is no racism on the
11:29 pm
right? >> is that really what you're saying? >> i don't the word racism is so overused. >> there are people saying we don't want brown people here. that's literally what they're saying. >> well, there's also the bannon wing against musk. no, no. but the bannon wing you're framing it as a racial argument. look at what bannon is saying. he's saying it's about working class americans of all races black, latino, white who are the trump base. >> that's bannon. >> that's bannon. >> but there's musk is saying no no we want high school. he just wants a global. he wants his feudal overlord tech thing, which that's the difference. it's a difference in it's about class. >> well, i mean there are you know bannon may be saying that, but the point is there are other people who are properly racist who are saying racist stuff, and he is calling them out. >> and that's not the core of people who annoy. the core of people who annoy. the core of people who annoy. the core of people who are annoyed are the non—racist, ordinary american base who voted for trump, who now see this guy come in, who like. >> we're talking about we're talking about 65,000 people maximum. it's capped off there. so i mean, it's a tiny number. and if these people i agree close the loopholes, fine. but if they want to bring over the best of the best, the brainiest
11:30 pm
people in the entire world, whatever their country are, whatever their country are, whatever their country are, whatever the colour of their skin or ethnicity or anything like that, and they're going to come over and make billions for this country. it seems ridiculous to reject them based on their ethnicity. do you know what? >> we haven't had this much falling out on the show since someone tried to make sense near lewis schaffer. amazing. still to come. why is trump defending tiktok? what biden regrets and why your dog is racist standard. this is headliners only on gb news.
11:33 pm
11:34 pm
last night, steve looks like he's been eating nachos and he's gone really orange around the mouth. next week you look like that terrorist who's suing that pub and you'll have an orange beard. cheers. thanks for that. let's just do a recap of the front pages. the mail on sunday has kev's fury at tv chiefs favouring farage who would do such a thing. sunday express uk's £4 million pledge to find putins war criminals, the observer patients at risk as nhs urgent repair costs tripling decade sunday telegraph families face £8,000 new year raid sun on sunday. apprentice stars in hotel romp and the daily star sunday rise of the killer robot fridges nick the observer biden thinks he could have beaten trump. i don't want to be ageist, but he's so frail he looks like he could be eaten by a trump. >> nice, sir biden reportedly regrets ending re—election campaign and says he would have defeated trump. oh, hindsight, sweet hindsight. yes, he's arguing here to beat trump. and he also said that he was. it was a mistake to choose merrick garland as attorney general, because he didn't prosecute
11:35 pm
trump early enough for january 6th. so yeah, i mean, it's biden's claim. it's absurd. i mean, trump won a crushing victory. the senate, the house, the popular vote, he wouldn't have won. i do believe, personally, he'd have done better than harris. but there's also the harris camp who say, no, no, the problem was you waiting too long before withdrawing, which is also a valid argument, but i feel that it was just a bad scene. no, no democrat want to get involved? no, it's hillary didn't get involved and michelle obama didn't get that involved. and gavin newsom, i just think they all knew, oh, let's give it to kamala and she'll lose. i just think they knew it was a loser either way. and it was just trump's time. >> yeah. the way he presented himself during the 2020 election was as this kind of holding a hold over president, he would like hand it up. the fact that he didn't do what he said that he didn't do what he said that he would do is a betrayal of the democrats. they should be incredibly angry with him. he left it way too late, left it in a position that really she was the only alternative at that point. she was rubbish and but but then she was awake. so that was the advantage of her.
11:36 pm
>> so it's not sober but awake. yeah. but from his perspective, they probably mistreated him. he you could see he felt mistreated towards the end. that's how you felt because he was wearing maga caps and stuff like that. so they probably, you know, and nancy pelosi saying you can go the easy way or the hard way. allegedly not great. >> yeah. but you say he left it too late. give him a break. he's going to be forgetful. did you see the guy? he's lucky if he's wearing trousers, let alone remembering to line up a replacement. >> yeah. no. and you know what? and the democrats themselves should be shamed because they should be shamed because they should have pushed them earlier, and they were just too weak. >> so to the sunday mirrors. >> so to the sunday mirrors. >> and on top of that, he, you know, trump was selling a better vision. so he deserved to get in. >> yeah. well no wonder he was wearing the hat then. josh sunday mirror a story about tiktok for our older viewers, i should explain. that's an app and not what you say to a childless 39 year old woman. >> yeah, donald trump in major tiktok ban move as he makes special requests of the supreme court. so this was something
11:37 pm
that was put through. basically, tiktok was to be banned, even though tiktok then had sort of taken it up through the court system, up to the supreme court to fight it, because saying that and the argument was at the time that and still is that china owns part of it. and are they going to be using that data, particularly the data about the young? are they taking that information back to china? and on top of that, it's about the cultural influence that it has , cultural influence that it has, because as leo kearse, our colleague, points out many times, rightly so, chinese tiktok is not the same as as western tiktok. chinese tiktok is about creating citizens who are useful and read books and do things like that. and here it's about dancing. so trump is basically he's obviously about to get into power and he's saying, and the dates coincide just before he does. and he says to the supreme court, actually hold off. but the way that they he says, hold off, the way that the person released this information to the court is the best part of it, because it's just saying it's saying consistent with his commanding
11:38 pm
presence in this area and that he is president trump alone possesses the consummate deal making expertise. so someone's just written a load of really good bumph about trump to the supreme court. yeah, exactly. >> i wonder if there's a few things going on. one, trump does well on tiktok, so he got all the young people doing the dance right. so it does well for him, so you might want to keep it. he's probably spoken to barron. he's probably spoken to barron. he's like, we love barron. i ask barron. he was always asking barron. he was always asking barron about the young people. they love tiktok, so that's probably part of it. also, the chance to just make bring money to the us or keep money in the us with a trump esque deal, as you've suggested. but also, did the tech bros convince him? you know, he's got people like musk and vivek being very influential now, as discussed in the earlier story, that they're the competitors, though, isn't it tiktok? but but don't they just aren't tech bros just like big on tech in general? i mean, they're competitors to x. yeah, that's true, but those type of people i mean just want them in the country. yeah. and restrictions like they're less hawkish on it whereas the less hawkish on it whereas the less hawkish on it whereas the less hawkish on china. whereas bannon's group is very anti—china or the ccp anyway.
11:39 pm
and the other groups are more sort of libertarian type. people are like, let's bring in all the technology. >> yeah. and also restriction on social media might start with tiktok, but then you worry which other network if he's missed a free speech now. >> but he did try to get it banned during his first presidency. >> so i mean, when they say banned, i understand why it's written like that in the headline, but it actually was just sell off the american arm so that there is no like corporate line that goes from tiktok to the chinese government that can demand information. you sever that. and that did make sense. >> it does make sense. yeah. >> it does make sense. yeah. >> so against it now we'll see. >> so against it now we'll see. >> we'll see if he makes a deal with his big hands. >> the observer nick. and is it true that you go anti—woke you go anti broke if that makes it is correct steve. >> it's anti—woke dog food and pro—america lipstick. usc's rise in right wing stores and it mentions a couple of particular brands mammoth nation and public square. and it's all about brands that are selling general products. but the company aligns with the values of maga rather than the values of woke. and of course, we're bound to see more of this. i'm surprised it hasn't been more. there's daily wire we've seen making their own razors and their own chocolate.
11:40 pm
and because the problem is in the current regime we have, there's no morally neutral institutions. so you have these companies like bud light, and they take a weird stance with this dylan mulvaney thing. and every your phone company has got a view on your politics. so of course there's got to be a backlash of companies going the other way. what would be ideal is to be apolitical. in theory, you'd make the most money. but but companies can't do that now. they're staffed by woke people who have to prove their woke credentials and get their next job at some other woke company. so there's all these perverse incentives to be woke, even though customers don't like it and shareholders don't necessarily like it. but so now this backlash is inevitable. the question is, when does it flip? and maga become the new mainstream so that your phone company is suddenly maga? but at the moment it's more it's splintered into these. it's splintered into these. it's splintered into these two groups. >> yeah, it's a lovely bit, i think. i think it's interesting in there. i hadn't occurred to me before that the reason they do it, or one of the reasons they do it, it's so much easier to say, oh, we agree with you than to sell the properties of your product. you don't have to mention you don't have to address any flaws. oh no, we're like, you buy this thing.
11:41 pm
>> yeah, that's exactly what it is. and actually you can be an inferior product, but then you can feel like, oh, well they, they're, they're what i'm about as well. we have the same values. i don't know if this these right wing places that pubuc these right wing places that public square. i don't know if they sell contraceptives. be cunous they sell contraceptives. be curious to see where their cut off point is. >> it's nice to see them branching out because before that, if you look at a right wing podcast, it's always just drive food and guns like you'll you'll eat this food for years when it all kicks off and your basement, it's like, guys, we need some other things to sell here. >> so now they've got chocolate as well. but is that exactly as nick says? this idea that it's polarised is ridiculous. the idea that you have to be woke or right wing, just get on with selling your goods. yeah. so ridiculous. yeah, yeah. they're saying it's oh it's increasing. it's really hard to make these two groups happy. just make a good product and sell it based on that. >> but if you do want to survive and you want to buy stephen allen's patented bone broth, it is available still to come. >> bum bum bum bone broth. >> bum bum bum bone broth. >> alex jones did the livestream. the bone broth. it makes broth from bones for men.
11:42 pm
what's wrong with crocodile dundee? that's coming up next. and why are easter egg hunts getting too easy? this is headliners only on gb news. bone broth. bone broth? >> you're looking happy. >> you're looking happy. >> well, the forecast looks good. >> so you've sorted the travel insurance, then? >> allclear travel insurance sponsors gb news travel destinations forecast. >> hello there. welcome to your latest winter sun forecast. as we see at 2024, it's going to remain fairly unsettled for parts of cyprus and greece. the area of cloud and rain continues to linger here, but for much of italy, spain and portugal, a fairly quiet couple of days with some late winter sunshine here, a few showers for madeira, maybe just creeping into canaries. but as we approach new year's day itself, it should be fairly fine and dry across the canaries. >> allclear travel insurance sponsors gb news travel
11:46 pm
>> welcome back to headliners. you can get involved, go to gbnews.com/yoursay and reform uk.chns gbnews.com/yoursay and reform uk. chris says kemi called. she said your bone broth tm is fraudulent. i have given the recipe to sky and to the telegraph, not to gb news though for some reason still weird innit? josh the independent and easter gets earlier every year. i mean how can you tell who knows when easter is meant to happen anyway? >> yeah, well, i'm not up on my easter stuff. i know it involves eggs and chocolate and confusion as easter eggs hit the shop shelves before new year's eve, even some in christmas eve, which is a very. which came first? the chicken or the egg situation? >> turkey. we have turkey. >> turkey. we have turkey. >> yeah. now i can understand why people are concerned about this , because it could be that this, because it could be that they were just really a rubbish supermarket and they were super late. that could be the other
11:47 pm
element, you know, trying to get rid of those easter eggs. but i'm happy for two reasons. number one is cadbury's creme eggs are my favourite. i love them, i'm always happy when they come out and that's it. actually, that was another argument. there's no other. but yeah, it is slightly ridiculous. yeah, it is like easter is getting christmas is getting good earlier every year and then easter, and now it's just going to go into a new cycle. what do you think. >> yeah. well i don't have any very, very strong views on it. i mean as you say it's slightly ridiculous. >> what do you think, nick? >> what do you think, nick? >> i mean, i have i have strong views that this is about the. no. we should focus more on the resurrection of jesus than the early. early. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> emergence of eggs. >> emergence of eggs. >> but to be fair, though, the cadbury's creme egg is a great snack and my favourite thing that ever happened is when they went from six in a box to five in a box, because five is a prime number, so like six, you'd have to share it if you had two people there or three people there. the only way you have to share a box of five is if you've got four friends, but do not have four friends. >> yeah, but it's a dozen eggs in it. it's half a dozen eggs.
11:48 pm
>> yeah, but it's awkward if you turn up and there are other people. oh, why don't you have two and say, here's five eggs, maths. >> the autistic take on it. >> the autistic take on it. >> they should only be boxes as you is in prime numbers. that's not autistic. >> you give yourself diabetes. >> you give yourself diabetes. >> you're going to blame your diabetes on your prime diabetes, which is the best one. >> and for the tweeting people. i love autistic people. that was a joke. i get the tweets you do get, i get the tweets. >> i'm really looking forward to seeing my tweets today. >> you should see yours say next sunday. >> they love me on your say they love. >> yeah, they're not loving my hugh. apparently the sunday express could trump end the conspiracy? the conspiracy about jfk? | conspiracy? the conspiracy about jfk? i mean, how could a bullet travel like that considering that the earth is flat? >> great point, that the earth is flat? >> great point , steve. great >> great point, steve. great point and dark secret that could make donald trump regret. key pledge is the headline. yeah. and trump basically said he'll release the files, the kennedy files, you know, and i thought that was a great thing to say. but be careful because people keep shooting at you already. and for some of the campaign, he was stood next to a kennedy. do you know what i mean? it's like who's who's dad was of course killed as well. it's like allegedly, allegedly. well, he certainly was murdered. that was
11:49 pm
definitely happened. >> i don't know, allegedly. >> i don't know, allegedly. >> rfk is bobby. he was killed. his the question is who is the only allegedly. that's what oliver stone says. >> i don't know if i agree with that. >> a guy works down the local saying he's still alive somehow. >> that's the bigger conspiracy. >> that's the bigger conspiracy. >> i don't know, i don't know. >> i don't know, i don't know. >> kennedy is alive would be a bigger conspiracy. >> the point is that's i'm a i'm a conspiracy leaver. i'm a liar. fair enough. >> i'm a little i agree, i agree with flat earth. i'm like steve. but the point is, would you say it before the election? i'd say i'd wait till i was in. i'd wait till i was like, maybe nearly dead. anyway, here's all the files. you know what i mean? because i'm just. i'd be worried, that's all. yeah. >> don't teach people to be better assassins when you are being shot at. >> we want, we want. i also want the ufo files. that's just release it all. we want area 51. get in there. find out. i'm surprised he didn't do it last time. he did. he revealed some files last time, but there's still like 3000 that aren't. the big thing that will probably come out is that the cia knew about lee harvey oswald. and they basically because at the time they were like, we've never who is this person? so harvey oswald, that's probably the big reveal. not that it was like a personal a grassy knoll or
11:50 pm
whatever. yeah, yeah. sorry. no. >> well, josh, mail on sunday. is crocodile dundee two offensive? i mean, it already sounds anti—scottish. >> yeah. i never thought about that. yeah. oh, snap. how channel five ripped 80s classic crocodile dundee to shreds so it could air it pre—watershed with viewers calling literally two viewers calling literally two viewers calling literally two viewers calling it a rehash, a bloody woke crap. is that am i allowed to say that i was an australian accent? all right. no. >> you sound like one of those young people you did earlier. >> oh, well, there we go. so yeah, they cut about 10% off. they cut the best bits out. which are the first of all, that ain't a knife. this is a knife. that ain't a knife. this is a knife. they did the thing about the. what tribe are you from, mate? i'm from the harlem. whatever. and they cut where they go. are you? she thinks it's a transvestite or trans. yeah. and he goes, sheila. and then he does it again. so you've got the great callback later on when it's the woman from the golden girls. yeah. >> an australian film without violence or racism. what is the point? what are you watching for? yeah, it's mad, but they always used to do it. not to
11:51 pm
defend them. but tv is always edhed defend them. but tv is always edited films, weirdly. you'd watch any movie, you just, you know, and then you'd watch on tv going, where's it all gone? even back pre world. yeah, but no, but now it's even worse. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> but like now it's way worse. >> but like now it's way worse. >> they edit swear words and stuff which i cpih mother fool. >> yeah i remember watching that on itv. >> but to cut out these like big moments in the film is ridiculous. yeah, insane. it's disgusting. >> absolute shame. >> absolute shame. >> sickening. >> sickening. >> well, i guess i'll put it to you both . you both. >> how bad it was. >> how bad it was. >> the in terms of getting rid of the woke storylines, though of the woke storylines, though of crocodile dundee, why don't they should just like they could reshoot it these days. they've done you know they do that with all this stuff don't they. make it a spoon instead of a. >> yeah, that had a spoon. this is a spoon. >> grabs the package and goes, well done. i respect your work. >> oh well done. i respect your work. >> on very nice. yeah. that's how i do it. that's very good. >> that will be available on my youtube channel. if you go there, you can buy an awful lot of bone broth. that's what's going on. well, the show is nearly over, so let's take another quick look at sunday's front pages. we can start with the daily mail. the mail on sunday kemi's fury at tv chiefs
11:52 pm
favouring farage. there'll be more in the inbox soon. sorry, kemi sunday express uk's £4 million pledge to find putins cruel war criminals. the observer says patients at risk is nhs urgent repair costs triple in decade? the sunday telegraph families face £8,000 new year raid. on merry christmas and the sun on sunday. apprentice stars in hotel romp. and judging by the picture, that's not donald trump. who would have been an apprentice star. the daily star sunday rise of the killer robot fridges. its front pages sorted. thank you for my guest tonight. we'll be back tomorrow at 11 with some other people who'll be sat here doing roughly the same job. if you're watching at five, stay tuned for breakfast. if you're watching earlier, stay tuned for longer for breakfast and have a good one. by kemi. >> there will be a light breeze in the morning leading to a warm front. boxt heat pumps sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello there, welcome to your
11:53 pm
latest gb news weather forecast. well, as we see at 2024, the weather certainly turning much more unsettled across the country as we approach new year itself. potentially be very windy for some of us. but before we get there, we still have this area of high pressure hanging on across the south, so maintaining the rather murky conditions here. but this cold front will continue to sink its way southwards. introducing something a little bit clearer. but for most of england and wales it is going to be another murky night. if you do have any travel plans, do allow some extra time for your journeys further north we have this band of rain across scotland that will be fairly heavy and persistent in places, and for most of us, it's not going to be a cold night by any means. temperatures not much lower than about 3 to 5 degrees. so we start sunday off on a fairly wet note for scotland, especially for western scotland. some heavy and persistent rain here, accompanied by a fairly keen breeze as well. maybe a few glimmers of sunshine for northern ireland, but especially so for northern england. some some brightness here from the word go. north wales also seeing
11:54 pm
some sunshine, but further south across the rest of england and wales. it's going to be another fairly murky start to the day, with again some mist and fog around, but i'm hopeful as we go through the course of sunday that will begin to lift and break and more of us seeing some brighter skies. but unfortunately for scotland, that rain continuing to pile in and starting to turn a little bit colder across the very far north. so some of that rain could well turn to snow, especially across the high ground, but with more in the way of brightness further south being a little bit less cold. could see highs reaching 10 to 11 degrees. then looking ahead to monday, further rain and also some snow for scotland. warnings are in force here, so some very tncky are in force here, so some very tricky conditions as we go through the course of the day. a little bit quieter further south with some brightness. but as we approach the all important new year period, all of us seeing some unsettled weather, but especially so across the north where it could turn very windy for a time. >> we can expect clear skies
