helen lewis, have you read michael lewis's body of work, the big short moneyball? what's your take on those books? i've read a fair few of them. i haven't read all of them because he's been writing for quite a long time now, and i think he has got a brilliant style. he picks his stories incredibly well and he picks his protagonists incredibly well. and i think, you know, the big short is a very classic example of that. it is a very smart way to look at the financial crisis through all the people who saw it coming, you know, the cassandras who saw it coming. and i think i would probably say that's my it's my second favorite, all his books, my favorite of all his books is the undoing project, which is about daniel kahneman and amos persky and the work they did in behavioral economics. and that is a beautiful portrait of two people who revolutionized an academic field, essentially going to economics and saying, you're assuming that everybody is a rational actor, but actually people are irrational. people act in ways that they really shouldn't do in terms of their best

>> guest: it was -- by michael lewis.sam bankman-fried, and it's about him as the. >> idea withd of a kind of cryo whiz kid, this guy from outside the financialys system, you kno, bringing a really wig challenge the to it. -- big challenge to it. thatat is classic michael lewis territory. his book the big short was with turned into a successful big film. , he's written a lot about mavericks. the twist here is the guy who wass tragedying d challenging bg finance, it turned out to be a mirage. he was convicted of lending money from one part of his business to a another and not being able to cover, essentially, a run on the bank. and that's the why-interesting because michael lewis always slightly falls in love with his subjects, and he was, i thought, pretty soft on sam bankman-fried and swashed -- squashed him into that narrative of the maverick when, in fact, o it turned out e was a con man, essentially. >> host: and the headline and sub-headline of your review is "the journalist and the fallen billionaire in going infini

well, lewis , lewis, but can well, lewis, lewis, but can i just say you also say you shouldn't wash youror brush your teeth . brush your teeth. >> i don't think you should know. you don't need to. when you eat an all meat diet, you don't need to brush your teeth. well, some would disagree. some well people who you're not. no kisses for you tonight. the point. oh no. the point is, is, is that nick says it's a 27% decrease. yeah. and is it a 27%. is it a 27% from the relative risk or whatever the other risk is? we don't know what the real you're thinking. 27%. that's huge. but it could be just an ever so slight like with the way cholesterol drugs work, which is minor 27% sounds like quite a lot, i know. well, that's what they do. it's probably a lie. i think it's £26,000. >> sounds pretty good to me. we're going to move on to this. this is the daily star. utter nonsense as usual. >> well, it's python bit my goolies. while i was on the bog. but now i'll get to the story, which is which. i hate these stories because you . as long as stories because you. as long as you try and forget them, as

i'm looking at lewis schaffer. no i'm a lewis schaffer hating jew. >> i'm not.'m not. i don't hate jews. >> it's the other way round. yeah, but the point is, it's arguably an offensive thing to say. she then talks about how she says, i don't didn't know without question. i didn't know jews like that. then sadly , i do jews like that. then sadly, i do now. it's not if she said it about any other ethnicity, i think the furore would be even greater . do you? greater. do you? >> sorry, lewis, do you think if it was a black person saying black and vile , if you were a black and vile, if you were a non—black person saying, are you supposed to say that? wouldn't you get you'd get pulled in for being like a white saviour and that sort of thing. so do you think maybe that was what kirsty was saying or was kirsty just not care about the jewish? >> well, she didn't talk about it. >> she didn't talk about it. and i think people listened to it. i think i think what makes it here's the point. the point is no, jews are vile. that's what makes this sentence so wrong for her to

lewis, do you know musk said. lewis, do you know something?re giving elon musk a bit too much credit. this is the thing. it's it says elon musk should face arrest if he if heinched musk should face arrest if he if he incited uk rioters, says ex twitter chief he wasn't the twitter chief he wasn't the twitter chief, he was just a vice president of something. and even everybody out there knows there are a million vice presidents. >> and when you say ex twitter, that's it means formerly twitter, formerly rather than which means i don't know what the history of the guy is, but elon musk probably fired the dude. >> so i'd be upset too if i was fired. 1 know what it's like. so he's fired elon musk and he he actually, you know, he represents the left wing, horrible ex twitter that prevented information from getting out. >> and this guy and also twitter under you know the previous regime they did a lot of misinformation of their own. >> so the hunter biden laptop story, which is a perfectly valid story that could swayed the election that was that was b

anyway, moving on, lewis, what have the or sorry , lewis, what have the or sorry, paul lewis, what have the or sorry, paul, what have the mirror got? >> yeah, really serious story, actually. terror swoop saved thousands. so thousands of taylor swift fans escaped death when an austrian terror plot was foiled by the cia, cia chiefs. and thank god for that. obviously, when we're thanking god in this story, we're thanking the christian god. but it's . it's. >> just tell him you're kidding. >> just tell him you're kidding. >> tell him you're kidding. i'm kidding. of course i'm kidding, this is my job. my job is to try and make this stuff amusing in some way. but this is harrowing . some way. but this is harrowing. i mean, quite clearly, the cia did foil a plot here where thousands of young people , kids thousands of young people, kids included, and parents of those children would have been slain at an event which should have been a celebration for them. >> and we've seen it happen before. the ariana grande concert in birmingham. and it's kind of disturbing that, you know, we're seeing so man

>> it was by michael lewis. >> it's about the rise and fall of sam bankk then freed. it's about the idea of him as a crypto g whiz kid that brings a big challenge to it and that is classic michael lewis. his book was turned into a successful film and he's written a lot about maverick's mavericks challenging big finance. the twist near the guy that was challenging big finance turned out to behe an illusion. he was convicted of lending money from one partin to another and not being able to cover the run on the bank. that was the interesting book for me to review because he falls in love with his subjects and he was also i think pretty soft on sam brinkman freed and that maverick taking on the establishment when as it turned out he was a con man essentially. >> the headline and the sub headline of your review is the journalist and fallen going infinite, michael lewis gets close, too close to sam brinkman freed. one of my favorite pieces of literature is about the idea that they inevitably betray their subjects and in a way the problem here was he didn't betray his subjec

lewis.ld quit over, run over , chief should quit over, run over, over you over run. over you over run. >> over you over run. >> i don't know how over you you the guy was. he was looking at some bad pictures and he he had previously, which i thought this was the worst that he had done. paid a guy 30, a young guy who was. i think he was i don't know how old the guy was, but he paid him £35,000, which is about $40,000 maybe for sex pics. and they say that this guy, tim davie, who's the head of the bbc, should be kicked, kicked out because this is just a run. they have so many bad people in the bbc. the reason why people care about the bad people. the bbc is because we're forced to pay bbc is because we're forced to pay for it. >> we would care about it even if we weren't paying. in this particular case, if you saw that someone on telly, well, we all cared about scofield, which is not the same as this case. i'm just saying it's not that we're angry just because it's the bbc. >> it's not just bec

was pj foley the instigator and was robert lewis guilty on the big picture, robert lewis was innocent until proven guilty. he was and is an innocent man. whether or not he committed the offense legally, you know, there's a difference between being legally responsible, criminally and then actually committing offense. you can commit an offense but not be held criminally liable. o.j. simpson's example, he was found not guilty on a criminal trial where the burden of proof is high. but on civil trial, where the burden is much lower, he's found liable for wrongful death. so you you know it could it can be witnessed. and there have been cases where people have been acquitted of murders. and then afterwards the murderers go, yeah, that they can't tried again. double jeopardy applies. so it does happen. it's rare. on june 22nd, 2022, the 130th anniversary, something that i didn't think would ever happen. a historical marker was erected and dedicated at the site of the lynching it was done in cooperation with a group called the friends of robert louis, who had been getting together for a few ye

lewis rees—zammit for the try.n understatement when, having never played the sport before, he decided to pursue a career in american football in the nfl. commentator: lewis - rees-zammit on the return. physically gifted, without a doubt, but he'd have to relearn to catch, tackle and even adapt his running style in a completely different game. how surprised are you that lewis rees—zammit hasn't made the main squad? to be completely honest, i am not surprised. i think that it was great for him during this preseason to be able to function in multiple different roles, but ultimately the plan going into it was never that he was going to necessarily make the 53 man roster. fast tracked through a special programme for international players, lewis rees—zammitjoined two—time defending champions the kansas city chiefs. however, the odds were always against the 23—year—old. no british rugby professional had gone on to play a competitive nfl game. christian wade is among those who tried. there's a load of things that come into
