Tucker Puts Piers Morgan’s Views on Free Speech to the Ultimate Test
📄 Extracted Text (19,196 words)
[00:00:00] Whatever happened to Britain or the UK
[00:00:04] or England or whatever they're calling
[00:00:05] it? We can't even agree on what it's
[00:00:07] called. But England, the England that if
[00:00:10] you're over 50, you grew up learning
[00:00:12] about. The England that controlled the
[00:00:14] world. The England that ran the largest
[00:00:16] empire in human history. At the end of
[00:00:19] World War I, Britain, which is an island
[00:00:22] in a pretty unhospitable climate,
[00:00:25] controlled
[00:00:26] literally a quarter of the Earth's
[00:00:29] surface. and not controlled in the way
[00:00:31] the United States controls
[00:00:34] the rest of the world with an implied
[00:00:37] threat or with economic ties through
[00:00:40] trade, but actually controlled with
[00:00:41] administrators and people sitting at
[00:00:44] desks with eye shades counting things
[00:00:46] like actually controlled a quarter of
[00:00:49] the Earth's surface. way more than Rome,
[00:00:52] way more than the Mongols, way more than
[00:00:54] anybody ever, or maybe in the future,
[00:00:58] ever. Britain was the most powerful
[00:01:00] country in the history of the world. And
[00:01:02] then 25 years later, it was this kind of
[00:01:04] sad, soggy welfare state, which is to
[00:01:08] some extent what it still is, except
[00:01:10] maybe even a little bit worse.
[00:01:12] What happened? Well, there are a couple
[00:01:15] levels in which to think about this.
[00:01:16] first is just geopolitical
[00:01:18] and I guess they spent a lot of money in
[00:01:20] these wars and the ruling, you know,
[00:01:22] half the class of Eaton 1910 was killed
[00:01:24] in the trenches or whatever. You can
[00:01:26] think of a lot of different ways to
[00:01:27] explain what happened to Britain. The
[00:01:30] fact remains, however, they won the two
[00:01:33] biggest wars in human history. They won
[00:01:35] and yet they're still greatly diminished
[00:01:37] and to some extent humiliated. It's like
[00:01:39] what is that?
[00:01:42] So again the first can be described the
[00:01:45] first explanation can be described
[00:01:48] in economic terms. Well the United
[00:01:50] States took over. The British Empire
[00:01:51] just moved west to its child the US.
[00:01:56] They just transferred the power and a
[00:01:57] lot of the gold to this new country
[00:02:00] which had its systems and some of its
[00:02:02] customs. Okay. But there's something
[00:02:04] kind of deeper actually. If that were
[00:02:07] the whole story, then Britain would
[00:02:10] still be recognizably Britain. The
[00:02:12] English people would still be
[00:02:13] recognizably English. They would just be
[00:02:16] not in charge anymore. They would have
[00:02:18] less money and less power, but the
[00:02:21] country would be by any conventional
[00:02:24] measurement thriving, just not running
[00:02:27] the Bahamas and Hong Kong, you know,
[00:02:31] Pakistan.
[00:02:33] But that's not what's happened.
[00:02:34] Actually, after winning the two biggest
[00:02:37] wars in human history, Britain has
[00:02:40] shrunken, not just physically, but in
[00:02:43] some way that's hard to describe. Its
[00:02:45] culture has changed. Some might say, has
[00:02:48] been destroyed and it's become something
[00:02:50] completely different. And what is that?
[00:02:53] And by the way, why does it matter what
[00:02:55] it is? Well, it matters because what's
[00:02:58] happened to Britain, to England is also
[00:03:02] happening to many countries in the West.
[00:03:05] Certainly its heirs, the Anglosphere,
[00:03:09] and that specifically would be
[00:03:11] Australia, New Zealand, the United
[00:03:13] States, Canada, Ireland.
[00:03:17] It's happening to those countries, but
[00:03:18] it's also happening to the rest of
[00:03:20] Western Europe all at the same time. A
[00:03:23] bunch of different profound,
[00:03:27] never-seen before phenomenon are
[00:03:29] happening to all of those countries and
[00:03:31] again including ours here in the United
[00:03:33] States. So it's worth understanding what
[00:03:36] has happened to Britain. So maybe the
[00:03:39] best image that describes it is the one
[00:03:41] that we're about to show you. And in
[00:03:42] case there's no context in the tape,
[00:03:44] what you're watching is a woman being
[00:03:47] arrested outside of an abortion clinic.
[00:03:49] And keep in mind as you watch this,
[00:03:51] she's not being arrested for throwing a
[00:03:53] firebomb, a petrol bomb through the
[00:03:56] window of this abortion clinic in the UK
[00:03:59] or even for obstructing access to this
[00:04:01] abortion clinic. No, she's being
[00:04:03] arrested and taken to jail for praying
[00:04:07] outside the abortion clinic. Watch this.
[00:04:10] >> Before I ask you any questions about
[00:04:11] what's going on today, I have to caution
[00:04:13] you, which is just your rights, which is
[00:04:14] you do not have to say anything. It may
[00:04:16] harm your defense if you do not mention
[00:04:18] one question. something that you later
[00:04:19] on in court. Anything you do send me. Uh
[00:04:22] what what are you here for today?
[00:04:24] >> Uh physically I'm just standing here.
[00:04:26] >> Okay. Why? Why here of all places? I
[00:04:28] know that you don't live nearby. I
[00:04:30] >> think this is an abortion center.
[00:04:32] >> Okay. That's why you're is you standing
[00:04:34] here part of a protest?
[00:04:36] >> No protesting.
[00:04:38] >> Are you praying?
[00:04:39] >> I might be praying in my head.
[00:04:42] >> Um so I I'll ask you once more. Will you
[00:04:44] voluntarily come with us now to the
[00:04:45] police station for me to ask you some
[00:04:47] questions about today and other days
[00:04:50] where there are allegations that you've
[00:04:52] broken public spaces protection order?
[00:04:54] >> If I've got a choice then no.
[00:04:56] >> Okay. Well then you're under arrest
[00:04:58] suspicion of failing to comply with the
[00:05:00] public spaces protection order.
[00:05:02] >> So what is that? It's hard to argue that
[00:05:07] if your government is arresting people
[00:05:09] for praying that you're watching a
[00:05:11] political phenomenon because of course
[00:05:15] praying is not simply a nonviolent act.
[00:05:17] It's not even a physical act. It can't
[00:05:20] possibly at least in secular terms
[00:05:23] affect outcomes or harm anyone. Praying
[00:05:26] for people can never be a crime. But it
[00:05:31] is a crime in Great Britain. Literally a
[00:05:33] crime. And the woman you saw is not the
[00:05:35] only person who's been arrested for
[00:05:37] doing it. So clearly we're watching a
[00:05:38] spiritual phenomenon here. I there's
[00:05:40] sort of no arguing it once you see
[00:05:42] things like that. But what is that
[00:05:45] spiritual phenomenon and what are its
[00:05:46] effects on the people of this country?
[00:05:48] And before we go further, we should just
[00:05:50] say that if you visit the the UK as it's
[00:05:53] now called or London, its capital and
[00:05:55] completely dominant city, the first
[00:05:56] thing you'll notice is actually pretty
[00:05:58] nice. London is the nice parts of London
[00:06:00] are as nice or maybe even nicer than any
[00:06:03] city in the United States. Certainly
[00:06:05] nicer than any city in Canada or
[00:06:07] Australia. Much nicer actually. It's a
[00:06:09] great city filled with lots of happy
[00:06:10] people.
[00:06:12] But broadly speaking, this country has
[00:06:14] changed really, really dramatically. And
[00:06:16] it's changed in ways that are
[00:06:18] recognizable.
[00:06:19] And here's what you recognize. The
[00:06:22] people of Great Britain are going
[00:06:23] through a series of crises
[00:06:27] and they're all internal. Drug use,
[00:06:31] alcohol use, their appearance has
[00:06:34] changed. People are no longer as
[00:06:35] wellkept. The streets, the landscape
[00:06:39] is not tidy anymore. It's got lots of
[00:06:41] litter and graffiti in some places.
[00:06:45] And to technocrats, these are not
[00:06:47] meaningful measures of anything. Who
[00:06:48] cares if you've got graffiti? Does that
[00:06:50] affect GDP?
[00:06:52] Well, maybe, maybe not. But it's
[00:06:55] definitely a reflection of how people
[00:06:57] feel about themselves. People with
[00:06:59] self-respect do not tolerate public
[00:07:02] displays of disorder or filth or
[00:07:05] graffiti or litter because they care
[00:07:09] about themselves and their family. And
[00:07:11] they understand intuitively as every
[00:07:12] human being does that once you allow
[00:07:15] chaos and filth in your immediate
[00:07:17] environment,
[00:07:19] you are diminished. So you just don't
[00:07:21] allow that and no healthy society does.
[00:07:24] But all through the West, these are not
[00:07:26] just features, they're defining
[00:07:27] features. All western cities are filled
[00:07:30] with litter and graffiti and people who
[00:07:33] look like they didn't bother to get
[00:07:35] dressed this morning, but are instead
[00:07:36] wearing their pajamas in Walmart. It's
[00:07:38] not just in your town. It's everywhere
[00:07:41] in what we refer to as the West.
[00:07:44] The point that underlies all of this is
[00:07:48] a really obvious one that too few people
[00:07:50] say. This is the behavior of a defeated
[00:07:53] people. This is what it looks like when
[00:07:55] you lose. This is what it looks like
[00:07:57] when you're on your way out to be
[00:07:59] replaced by somebody else. This is what
[00:08:01] it looks like to be an American Indian.
[00:08:04] Now, one thing nobody in the United
[00:08:06] States ever says about the American
[00:08:07] Indians, except in the kind of pro-
[00:08:09] forma white guilt way, is these weren't
[00:08:12] just impressive people, and no, they
[00:08:13] didn't write the Constitution before we
[00:08:14] did. These were some of the most
[00:08:16] impressive people, most self-reliant,
[00:08:19] most dignified breed any account of
[00:08:21] early American settlers, people who were
[00:08:23] pushing west who came into contact with
[00:08:25] Indians and yes, were often scalped and
[00:08:27] forced to eat their own genitals and
[00:08:29] roasted over fires. I mean, these were
[00:08:31] cruel people. But even the people who
[00:08:33] were in danger of being murdered by them
[00:08:36] respected them because the indigenous
[00:08:39] Americans had a great deal of
[00:08:42] self-respect. They had what we call
[00:08:44] dignity.
[00:08:45] And now hundreds of years later, the
[00:08:48] opposite is true. The poorest people in
[00:08:51] the United States are American Indians.
[00:08:53] Why? Because the federal government
[00:08:54] hasn't given them enough. The federal
[00:08:56] government is completely in charge of
[00:08:59] the indigenous economy in the United
[00:09:00] States and has been for over a hundred
[00:09:02] years
[00:09:04] and it hasn't worked. American Indians
[00:09:07] are still the poorest. Why? Because the
[00:09:10] Irakcoy and the Navajo weren't
[00:09:11] impressive. No, they were the most
[00:09:13] impressive. Again, read the account of
[00:09:15] anyone who dealt with them. Even people
[00:09:17] who are dodging their arrows thought
[00:09:18] they were amazing people because they
[00:09:20] were.
[00:09:22] And now they are by many measures the
[00:09:24] saddest people in the United States. Why
[00:09:26] is that? Some inherent genetic
[00:09:29] predisposition to patheticness.
[00:09:32] They couldn't deal with modernity. They
[00:09:34] probably could. They were defeated.
[00:09:37] They were defeated.
[00:09:40] And in some deep the deepest way they
[00:09:44] wound up destroying themselves. And it's
[00:09:46] not unique to them. That's the point.
[00:09:47] And just to be completely clear, all of
[00:09:49] this is observed with a great deal of
[00:09:51] sympathy, not scorn. No one's mocking
[00:09:54] the American Indians. Everyone should
[00:09:55] feel bad about it for real. Again, not
[00:09:57] in a silly white girl guilty way, but in
[00:10:00] a real way. These are amazing people,
[00:10:03] greatly diminished.
[00:10:05] And the reason it's worth remembering is
[00:10:06] the same thing is happening to the West.
[00:10:09] So the beauty of Thanksgiving is that it
[00:10:10] celebrates real food. I mean, at the
[00:10:12] core of the holiday is actual food, not
[00:10:14] synthetic garbage of the kind that is
[00:10:17] almost irresistible. So, wouldn't it be
[00:10:19] nice if the country embraced, if all of
[00:10:20] us embraced actual food during the rest
[00:10:22] of the year, ditching your standard and
[00:10:24] truly disgusting American chip brands
[00:10:26] for chips that aren't terrible for you
[00:10:28] that have only three ingredients? That
[00:10:29] would be Vandy Crisps. That'd be a great
[00:10:32] place to start. Vandy is about reviving
[00:10:36] real food. The kind your grandparents
[00:10:38] ate and they look pretty spelt despite
[00:10:40] the camels they smoked. Why? Cuz they
[00:10:42] ate food that wasn't filled with
[00:10:44] garbage. And in this case, Vandy Crisps,
[00:10:47] three ingredients: pesticide-free
[00:10:49] potatoes, sea salt, and 100% grass-fed
[00:10:52] beef tallow. That's it. There's nothing
[00:10:54] in there that's weird. No seed oils, no
[00:10:56] mystery chemicals, just actual food. And
[00:10:58] they taste amazing. If you don't believe
[00:11:00] it, try the French onion flavor. We just
[00:11:03] got a new shipment which go great with
[00:11:04] our stock from Fanny's sister company,
[00:11:07] Masa Chips, which clutter our garage
[00:11:08] until we consume them, which we do.

[00:11:25] description or to make it even easier,
[00:11:27] scan the QR code for this offer. Or if
[00:11:29] you don't want to go online, just go to
[00:11:31] Sprouts Supermarket, your local Sprouts,
[00:11:34] and they have them both. Stop by and
[00:11:35] pick up a bag because they're great. And
[00:11:38] it makes you realize, especially if you
[00:11:40] travel a lot, that the problem is not
[00:11:42] necessarily the immigrants. The problem
[00:11:45] is what mass migration does to the
[00:11:47] people who already live there.
[00:11:51] They're the victims of it in a way that
[00:11:53] again is hard to measure and sometimes
[00:11:55] hard to notice, but totally real. So you
[00:11:58] walk through this city, London, and it's
[00:12:00] been completely transformed by
[00:12:02] immigration, completely. And the numbers
[00:12:03] are really, really clear. 100 years ago
[00:12:05] was 100% European white. Now it's less
[00:12:08] than 40%. Okay, that's massive,
[00:12:11] unprecedented demographic change. Got
[00:12:13] it. And the immigrant areas are
[00:12:16] absolutely poorer than the traditionally
[00:12:17] white English areas. Absolutely. There's
[00:12:20] just no question about it.
[00:12:22] But wealth as measured by the government
[00:12:26] is not the only measurement.
[00:12:28] Actually, and this is true in the United
[00:12:30] States too, lots of immigrants who have
[00:12:32] a lot less money than the native
[00:12:35] population seem a lot more balanced and
[00:12:38] happy both because this is a huge
[00:12:40] upgrade for them just in terms of like
[00:12:42] annual income and standard of living,
[00:12:43] but it's more than that. They're not
[00:12:45] defeated. They don't hate themselves.
[00:12:49] And if you have traditional nationalist
[00:12:52] opinions in the United States, I can
[00:12:53] confirm this personally, you're never
[00:12:55] going to be stopped on the street and
[00:12:57] screamed at by some Guatemalan who's
[00:12:59] like, "You are racist for having your
[00:13:00] views on immigration." No, they'll
[00:13:02] probably agree with you. Actually, the
[00:13:04] only people who ever get mad at you are
[00:13:07] the people who already hate themselves.
[00:13:08] And it's always famously some private
[00:13:11] equity wife or somebody who should be
[00:13:12] happy about how things are going because
[00:13:14] they're in the portion of the population
[00:13:15] that's benefiting from it, but they're
[00:13:17] not happy. They're angry.
[00:13:20] What is that? That exact same thing is
[00:13:24] going on in this country. Exact.
[00:13:29] And it's part of a very recognizable
[00:13:32] syndrome. And it's the most destructive
[00:13:35] of all. History is just filled with
[00:13:37] examples of people who get invaded and
[00:13:40] clubbed to death and have their women
[00:13:42] stolen from them. And they're fine.
[00:13:46] They're fine.
[00:13:48] It's the people who feel defeated inside
[00:13:51] who no longer exist
[00:13:53] and that is happening to the west
[00:13:57] and it's measurable. What other society
[00:14:02] hates its own national symbols?
[00:14:06] It's only happening in the west only in
[00:14:08] Great Britain.
[00:14:09] This is coming to be true in the United
[00:14:11] States. It's already true in Canada and
[00:14:13] Australia. What other country finds it
[00:14:15] embarrassing to fly their national flag?
[00:14:18] What are you saying if that embarrasses
[00:14:20] you? You don't hate the flag, you hate
[00:14:22] yourself?
[00:14:24] And it's obvious because people who have
[00:14:28] dignity, self-respect, who believe in
[00:14:29] their own civilization want to continue
[00:14:31] it. How do you do that? By talking about
[00:14:34] it a lot? No. By continuing it through
[00:14:37] reproduction.
[00:14:39] No one is preventing the West from
[00:14:41] reproducing.
[00:14:43] And people have come up with these
[00:14:44] conspiracy theories like, "Oh, they're
[00:14:45] doing it. They're No, we're doing it to
[00:14:47] ourselves.
[00:14:50] What else is abortion?
[00:14:52] It's not empowering for women." Of
[00:14:53] course not. That's absurd. Anyone who
[00:14:55] believes that is an idiot. Abortion is
[00:14:58] the way to stop people from reproducing.
[00:15:00] So is birth control, by the way. Of
[00:15:02] course. So is convincing people that
[00:15:04] their dumb job is more important than
[00:15:06] having kids. It's not. It never will be.
[00:15:08] Any person who can get clarity for a
[00:15:10] second will recognize that. It's only
[00:15:13] about stopping you from having more of
[00:15:15] you. And is there anything that's a
[00:15:19] clearer,
[00:15:21] crystalcle
[00:15:23] representation of how you feel about
[00:15:25] yourself than how you feel about having
[00:15:27] kids? And by the way, it's not just
[00:15:29] because they're selfish and they want to
[00:15:30] go on vacation and don't want to pay for
[00:15:31] children or they're worried about how
[00:15:33] much it might cost. Notice that none of
[00:15:35] these impoverished immigrants living on
[00:15:37] SNAP and housing subsidies, they don't
[00:15:38] seem worried about it at all because
[00:15:41] they know it'll be fine. By the way,
[00:15:44] most of the time it will be fine.
[00:15:47] They're having kids when much more
[00:15:49] affluent natives are not
[00:15:52] because they believe in themselves and
[00:15:54] their culture, their civilization.
[00:15:56] They'd like to see it continue. It's the
[00:15:57] most basic of all human desires.
[00:16:00] So here in Great Britain, which has
[00:16:02] about a 40% abortion rate, 40% of all
[00:16:06] conceived children are killed. Who's
[00:16:08] doing that?
[00:16:10] It's not the immigrants
[00:16:12] because they don't hate themselves.
[00:16:14] They're not defeated. They're ascendant.
[00:16:17] And so they can see the future. They
[00:16:18] they know that they may not live to
[00:16:20] experience it,
[00:16:23] but they're still fully human. And they
[00:16:25] know you plant the tree not because you
[00:16:27] can bask in its shade, but because your
[00:16:28] grandchildren will. This is the most
[00:16:30] obvious of all human instincts and the
[00:16:32] most basic.
[00:16:34] But the native population in Britain is
[00:16:37] not debating abortion because it's not
[00:16:38] even a debate here. Everyone agrees it's
[00:16:40] just an affirmative good of course to
[00:16:42] eliminate your own people. Absolutely.
[00:16:44] Again, no one's making them do this.
[00:16:45] They've decided to do that themselves.
[00:16:49] But now their most enthusiastic campaign
[00:16:52] is for state sponsored suicide.
[00:16:56] They've already done this in Canada.
[00:16:57] It'll come to the United States. What is
[00:17:00] that? That's an entire people saying we
[00:17:04] should exit the stage. Our time is done.
[00:17:08] It's over. Let's go. Someone else will
[00:17:10] take our place. Not the first time
[00:17:12] that's ever happened. This is what
[00:17:14] defeated people do. This is what happens
[00:17:16] when you break people inside.
[00:17:18] And maybe it'll just reach its terminus.
[00:17:21] Maybe there's no way to stop it. The
[00:17:23] great replacement theory. Yeah. A
[00:17:25] theory. Okay. No, it's it's the realest
[00:17:29] thing there is.
[00:17:31] And it's happening not because unseen
[00:17:33] hands are orchestrating it, though they
[00:17:35] are, but because the native peoples of
[00:17:38] all these countries are participating in
[00:17:39] it enthusiastically and then enforcing
[00:17:42] its rules against anyone
[00:17:44] who questions it. So, in Great Britain,
[00:17:47] if you were to say, "Wait, what the hell
[00:17:49] is this? This looks nothing like the
[00:17:50] country I grew up in." Guess who's going
[00:17:52] to arrest you? Your fellow Britain. The
[00:17:55] ones whose great-grandparents lived
[00:17:57] here. The whites.
[00:17:59] They're the ones enforcing this. They're
[00:18:01] the ones totally determined to eliminate
[00:18:05] themselves. Hate to brag, but we're
[00:18:07] pretty confident this show is the most
[00:18:09] vehemently pro- dog podcast you're ever
[00:18:12] going to see. We can take or leave some

[00:19:35] these questions in mind that we decided
[00:19:37] to sit down with Piers Morgan. Piers
[00:19:39] Morgan we known for a long time, cable
[00:19:41] news host.
[00:19:43] Had a debate with him last year, ran
[00:19:45] into him in an elevator in the Middle
[00:19:47] East and decided to sit down and had a a
[00:19:50] really spirited and interesting
[00:19:51] conversation with him in which I
[00:19:53] attacked his country with the with the
[00:19:55] the fury of someone who secretly loves
[00:19:58] the country and hates what it's become.
[00:20:00] And so we're back here in his hometown
[00:20:02] and decided to have this conversation
[00:20:04] and it follows in just a second. But
[00:20:06] before it begins, just want to be super
[00:20:07] clear about something. Piers Morgan is
[00:20:09] clearly wedded has decided to remain
[00:20:12] wedded to the neoliberal version of the
[00:20:14] world where you're not allowed to say
[00:20:15] certain things and you have to repeat
[00:20:16] certain pieties and it's all pretty
[00:20:18] embarrassing obviously.
[00:20:20] But in fairness,
[00:20:22] Pierce Morgan has single-handedly done
[00:20:24] more for free speech, which is
[00:20:25] disappearing in Great Britain, than any
[00:20:27] other Britain. He has done more for free
[00:20:30] speech than any other person in this
[00:20:31] entire country. Just want to say this
[00:20:33] out loud because it's absolutely true.
[00:20:35] And he's done it the oldfashioned way by
[00:20:37] allowing other people onto his platform,
[00:20:40] onto his show to debate, people who have
[00:20:44] no other venue to say what they think.
[00:20:47] And you may dis you may disagree with
[00:20:48] 50%, agree with the other 50%. It
[00:20:50] doesn't even matter. That debate, the
[00:20:52] real debate about issues that really
[00:20:53] matter that nobody else in this country
[00:20:55] is allowed to talk about are taking
[00:20:57] place at scale on Piers Morgan's show.
[00:21:00] So if you watch this and you think Piers
[00:21:02] Morgan has no idea what side is up, why
[00:21:05] is he defending the indefensible, keep
[00:21:06] in mind that here, and this is an
[00:21:09] authoritarian country where disagreement
[00:21:11] is no longer allowed. You go to jail for
[00:21:13] it by the thousands. People go to jail
[00:21:14] for it every year. He alone is keeping
[00:21:17] it open. So God bless Piers Morgan with
[00:21:19] that. Here's Piers Morgan. Pierce,
[00:21:21] thanks for doing this. Taking time.
[00:21:22] >> Welcome to my city,
[00:21:24] >> which I've been so mean to, including in
[00:21:26] a conversation with you last winter in
[00:21:29] the Middle East, and I'm attacking Great
[00:21:30] Britain. And I just I just want to
[00:21:32] apologize and tell you the truth about
[00:21:33] how I feel, which is I think that
[00:21:35] English culture and civilization is the
[00:21:37] highest level ever achieved by man in
[00:21:39] history. I really believe that. Um,
[00:21:42] everything about it. It's religion, it's
[00:21:44] language, it's literature. We've
[00:21:46] American society's never produced
[00:21:48] literature. I'm embarrassed to say like
[00:21:50] what the Brits produced. And so it was
[00:21:53] out of sadness and frustration and a
[00:21:55] sense of connection to your civilization
[00:21:57] that I went on the rant about how much I
[00:22:00] hate it. But it was it was it was hate
[00:22:03] born of frustrated love and
[00:22:04] >> I'm just amazed you're here alive. I
[00:22:07] DIDN'T THINK YOU
[00:22:08] >> WELL, THEY'RE SO PASSIVE now and
[00:22:09] everyone's like bisexual. What are they
[00:22:11] going to do to me? Nothing. But um so
[00:22:14] but I just want to and I know you love
[00:22:16] it. You're a product of it. What is it?
[00:22:18] How would you describe English culture?
[00:22:21] >> I I would say it's not as bad as many
[00:22:24] Americans think it is. And it's not as
[00:22:27] good as many people here when they
[00:22:30] launch impassion defenses of our country
[00:22:33] and our culture and the way things have
[00:22:34] gone would like to pretend it is. It's
[00:22:36] kind of somewhere in the middle. There's
[00:22:38] definitely been a significant change in
[00:22:41] the fabric of the country, in the makeup
[00:22:43] of the country, in the types of people
[00:22:45] who've come here, the volume of people
[00:22:47] who've come here. That's obviously had
[00:22:50] an effect on what this country is. Now,
[00:22:53] the the debate to be had is whether this
[00:22:56] has been in totality a force for good or
[00:22:59] bad. I took your views, your stride and
[00:23:01] views about it when we met in in Saudi.
[00:23:03] Um, and I and I pushed back quite hard
[00:23:05] because I live here half of the year at
[00:23:08] least, most of that time in London.
[00:23:10] >> It's always been a very multicultural
[00:23:13] city. There's no doubt about that. And I
[00:23:14] don't walk the streets as Tommy Robinson
[00:23:16] would like.
[00:23:17] >> It's not always been a multicultural. I
[00:23:18] actually pulled the numbers. It is not
[00:23:20] very recent. Yeah. Maybe right after you
[00:23:22] were born.
[00:23:22] >> In my lifetime. I was born in the
[00:23:24] mid60s. But, you know, the way Tommy
[00:23:25] Tommy Robinson who has a big following
[00:23:27] in America, the way he talks about it is
[00:23:29] not something I recognize. Having said
[00:23:31] that, as I've always said about him,
[00:23:33] there are issues that he's raised which
[00:23:35] are perfectly legitimate. The biggest
[00:23:37] one is population. You know, in the 50s
[00:23:39] with a population of just under 50
[00:23:41] million people and a lot of the
[00:23:43] infrastructure like the National Health
[00:23:44] Service, the NHS once lorded as the
[00:23:47] greatest health system in the world now
[00:23:49] has to deal with a population of nearly
[00:23:50] 70 million. That is a dramatic increase
[00:23:53] in the volume of people in this country.
[00:23:55] And the simple truth right now is our
[00:23:57] public services are creaking at the
[00:23:59] seams and in some cases like the NHS
[00:24:03] pretty well at breaking point. And that
[00:24:05] is why there is so much agitation about
[00:24:08] the simultaneous ongoing issues with
[00:24:12] immigration, both illegal with this
[00:24:15] ridiculous fast of these small boats
[00:24:16] popping up on the south coast on from a
[00:24:19] channel from France all the time. when
[00:24:21] the weather's good, they just stream in
[00:24:23] hundreds, sometimes thousands a week
[00:24:26] illegally into the country. But also
[00:24:28] legal migration and how we've abjectly
[00:24:30] mishandled that since really the turn of
[00:24:32] the century. You can chart it back to
[00:24:34] the Tony Blair years when they pretty
[00:24:36] well opened the the gates to everyone in
[00:24:38] Eastern Europe. Way too many people came
[00:24:40] in way too fast. And then after that,
[00:24:43] there's just been a complete lack of any
[00:24:45] form of control. And we now have a
[00:24:47] situation where they've had to try and
[00:24:50] put the brakes on legal migration coming
[00:24:52] in because two years ago we had a net
[00:24:54] migration in this country of nearly a
[00:24:56] million people. Now it's not racist as
[00:24:59] some people are trying to brand it to
[00:25:01] say that that is alarming. a country
[00:25:04] like ours, if you don't have an
[00:25:06] effective border, if you have 50 60,000
[00:25:09] people a year coming in as they are
[00:25:10] illegally on these boats and then you
[00:25:12] have a net migration of legal migrants
[00:25:16] coming in of nearly a million people,
[00:25:18] the already crumbling infrastructure is
[00:25:20] going to come under obviously enormously
[00:25:23] higher pressure. So, it's been a series
[00:25:26] of governments, left and right, I have
[00:25:28] to say, starting with the Blair
[00:25:30] government with what they did with
[00:25:31] Eastern Europe and then coming forward
[00:25:33] to successive Conservative governments
[00:25:35] and now uh the current Labor government.
[00:25:37] All of whom, in my opinion, have handled
[00:25:40] this so badly that inevitably we now
[00:25:42] have a lot of people in the country
[00:25:44] going, "What the hell is going on?" I
[00:25:46] wonder though, I mean everything you
[00:25:47] said is so clearly true and it was Tony
[00:25:49] Blair really the lowest probably tied
[00:25:53] with Boris but really one of the worst
[00:25:54] prime ministers leaders of any country
[00:25:56] ever. But I wonder I often hear people
[00:25:59] say well it's about the NHS National
[00:26:01] Health Service. It's about the roads.
[00:26:03] It's about you know NHS is like a very
[00:26:06] new creation. It's a post-war creation.
[00:26:08] It was never going to work. It's never
[00:26:10] worked anywhere. The Brits were so kind
[00:26:12] of pathetically proud of it but it was
[00:26:13] the whole thing.
[00:26:14] >> It did work. But for for a time there
[00:26:17] was a time.
[00:26:17] >> By the way, if you if you walk out of
[00:26:19] here and you fall over and you break
[00:26:20] your leg, you'll get treatment quickly.
[00:26:22] >> That's great. But the health outcomes
[00:26:23] were never uh were never better than the
[00:26:25] United States. It didn't actually didn't
[00:26:26] actually work. But whatever you could
[00:26:27] argue, but the cost of it,
[00:26:29] >> but what's different is that for your
[00:26:32] whole life, you've been told that what
[00:26:34] is Britain what is this project about?
[00:26:36] It's about the National Health Service.
[00:26:39] That's kind of aiming a little low. Like
[00:26:42] who cares about some bureaucratic
[00:26:43] structure? What about England? What
[00:26:46] about the culture? Like, so in my mind
[00:26:48] as a PG Woodhouse reader, lifelong,
[00:26:51] >> self-restraint, duty,
[00:26:54] >> courage,
[00:26:56] >> patriotism rooted in your religious
[00:26:58] faith, our Lord the King, a phrase that
[00:27:02] was common until recently. All of that
[00:27:04] seems to be gone.
[00:27:05] >> Well, hang on. We're still a very
[00:27:07] majority Christian country, right? Still
[00:27:10] 40 odd percent of the country are
[00:27:13] Christians, right? That's a fact.
[00:27:16] >> So when I hear America,
[00:27:17] >> whatever that means, I mean,
[00:27:18] >> well, it means
[00:27:19] >> you get arrested for praying outside an
[00:27:20] abortion clinic. That's not a Christian
[00:27:21] country.
[00:27:23] >> There are there are there are nearly 50%
[00:27:24] of the country identify as Christian. Um
[00:27:27] the the more concerning thing for those
[00:27:30] who have faith is that nearly 40% now
[00:27:33] have no religious belief whatsoever.
[00:27:35] Right. Right. Uh then we have a lot of
[00:27:37] other religions. There's a slight
[00:27:38] amplification of for example the number
[00:27:40] of Muslims in the country. There there
[00:27:42] are nearly four million Muslims in in
[00:27:44] the country and that represents about 6%
[00:27:48] of the population but 43 or 4% of the
[00:27:52] population are still Christian. So I do
[00:27:55] I do think again that the
[00:27:57] overamplification of the Islam problem
[00:28:01] as people put it or the you know the
[00:28:02] Muslim problem has been massively
[00:28:04] overstated. That's an op. Obviously
[00:28:07] >> hate the Muslims. No, I I we know where
[00:28:09] that's coming from. I don't like it. I
[00:28:11] hate it.
[00:28:12] >> In my high street alone in West London,
[00:28:15] most of the businesses would have Muslim
[00:28:17] employees there or people.
[00:28:18] >> But also, how is hate the Muslims better
[00:28:20] than hate the Christians or hate the
[00:28:22] Jews? It's all the same. No, it's the
[00:28:24] same.
[00:28:24] >> And I've heard you I've heard you say,
[00:28:25] and this is the point I come from.
[00:28:29] >> Hatred is hatred is hatred. I totally
[00:28:30] agree. It doesn't matter who you're
[00:28:31] hating. The moment you're in the hate
[00:28:33] game, then I think you're losing
[00:28:35] whatever argument is you're trying to
[00:28:36] have.
[00:28:37] >> I totally agree. And but moving off from
[00:28:39] hate and getting back to the world I
[00:28:41] live in, which is fear and distrust and
[00:28:43] gut level loathing.
[00:28:44] >> Yeah,
[00:28:45] >> it's the secular people who are the
[00:28:47] problem. I've never had an argument with
[00:28:49] a Muslim and with an actual Muslim. I'm
[00:28:51] from Bangladesh. I'm a Muslim.
[00:28:52] >> We probably agree on a lot. It's the
[00:28:54] secular self-hating whites
[00:28:56] >> that stand up from the table and leave
[00:28:58] when I'm eating with them here. Just
[00:28:59] saying. And that's true in my country,
[00:29:01] too. But but leaving that said, I'm just
[00:29:02] sort of wonder and so I'm not hating on
[00:29:04] the Muslims at all.
[00:29:06] >> Bad Muslims are bad everybody.
[00:29:08] >> I just think a country is more than its
[00:29:10] bureaucratic systems and certainly more
[00:29:12] than the NHS which I will never think is
[00:29:15] impressive. Sorry. Or your metric system
[00:29:17] which
[00:29:17] >> I do think you're wrong about that.
[00:29:19] >> May maybe I
[00:29:21] not wrong about the state of it now. I
[00:29:22] mean I I'll give an example. What
[00:29:25] wouldn't have happened in the 60s and
[00:29:27] 70s with NHS is what happened to my both
[00:29:30] my parents recently. So my mother had a
[00:29:32] heart attack,
[00:29:33] >> right?
[00:29:33] >> And ended up being put on a trolley in
[00:29:36] an accident and emergency unit but out
[00:29:39] on the corridor
[00:29:41] >> with 30 other people on trolley. It was
[00:29:43] Densian. This was like a third world
[00:29:46] country.
[00:29:47] >> And she got hardly any treatment at all
[00:29:49] while she was there. Now, when she
[00:29:50] eventually got up, and this is the apex
[00:29:53] of the NHS for me, laid bare. When she
[00:29:55] eventually got into the heart unit, she
[00:29:57] got incredible treatment on the NHS.
[00:30:00] Didn't cost her anything. She got fixed
[00:30:02] up and repaired. Turned out she had a
[00:30:04] blocked artery and she was home in 48
[00:30:06] hours and was great. My father broke six
[00:30:08] ribs recently. Again, the same story.
[00:30:11] Just kept waiting on trolley and so on.
[00:30:13] This is going on all the time because it
[00:30:15] cannot deal with the volume of
[00:30:16] >> people. We have the same problem in our
[00:30:18] country. All the community hospitals are
[00:30:19] closing, right? And our emergency rooms
[00:30:21] are unusable because of illegal
[00:30:23] immigration. I agree with you
[00:30:24] completely. I'm just saying if you have
[00:30:26] a country whose main source of pride is
[00:30:28] it's like healthare system.
[00:30:29] >> I don't think it is. I I I
[00:30:30] >> really cuz in the 50 years I've been
[00:30:32] coming here, no matter what you say,
[00:30:34] they're like, "Have you heard about our
[00:30:35] healthare system?" It's like I thought
[00:30:36] you were about the greater glory of God
[00:30:39] and like subduing the world for
[00:30:41] civilization and the English language
[00:30:42] and our literature and history.
[00:30:43] certainly think we're about Listen, we'd
[00:30:45] certainly I I checked a few stats on the
[00:30:48] way here.
[00:30:48] >> Yeah. Oh, I bet. Bet you put on the
[00:30:50] face. So did I.
[00:30:51] >> Well, this Christmas, give the gift of
[00:30:53] sleep with eight sleep. Everybody needs
[00:30:55] good rest for most of their days, but
[00:30:57] few know how to actually get it. Eight
[00:31:00] sleeps pod 5 is the answer to that. Pod
[00:31:03] 5 is a smart mattress that automatically
[00:31:05] regulates your body temperature
[00:31:06] throughout the night. It's proven to
[00:31:08] deliver up to an extra hour of good
[00:31:11] sound sleep every single night. That
[00:31:13] will change your life if you get it.
[00:31:15] Plenty of people on our staff use the
[00:31:17] Pod Five and they are very psyched.
[00:31:19] That's why they're so focused and
[00:31:21] well-rested. I can see them humming
[00:31:22] around right now.
[00:31:25] The full body feeling of comfort. That's
[00:31:29] what keeps you in the sack and fully
[00:31:31] crashed out. We recommend it strongly.
[00:31:34] Eight sleep. They're running their
[00:31:35] biggest sale of the year this month from
[00:31:37] November 10th until December 1st. That
[00:31:39] is 8.com/shucker.
[00:31:42] code is tucker 700 bucks off. There's a
[00:31:45] reason it has won the men's health sleep
[00:31:47] award. It's the best. 8.com/tucker.
[00:31:50] For example, we back way above our
[00:31:53] strength in things like music. Okay. Of
[00:31:56] the eight biggest selling artists in
[00:31:58] music history. I think I'm right in
[00:32:00] saying that five of them have come from
[00:32:02] >> I believe that from the Beatles to Elton
[00:32:05] John.
[00:32:05] >> They're very musical people as we often
[00:32:07] say.
[00:32:07] >> We're very artistic people. We're a very
[00:32:09] scientific people. We lead the world.
[00:32:11] Actually, a lot of our universities are
[00:32:13] in the top 10 in the world. So,
[00:32:15] comparative to our size, which is about
[00:32:17] a sixth of the size of the United
[00:32:19] States, maybe between maybe fifth and
[00:32:21] sixth, but comparative to our size, we
[00:32:24] continue in many areas to bat above our
[00:32:27] population strength.
[00:32:28] >> The the Brits in the Middle East, in
[00:32:30] Dubai specifically, are like one of the
[00:32:32] engines of the economy. They're amazing
[00:32:34] people. I'm actually one of them, half.
[00:32:36] So, I I agree. You'll never get me to
[00:32:38] say the Brits aren't unusual. you cited.
[00:32:40] Funny enough, I that does resonate with
[00:32:42] me.
[00:32:43] >> We have lost a lot of equalities, I
[00:32:45] think, collectively as a country, which
[00:32:48] did make this country great. And
[00:32:49] >> that's what I'm saying.
[00:32:50] >> Yeah. But I I agree I agree with you
[00:32:52] about that because I do think that it's
[00:32:54] become a bad thing to be patriotic about
[00:32:56] our country. There's a huge war about
[00:32:58] waving the Union Jack flag. I never see
[00:33:01] that war raging in the same way in
[00:33:03] America, right? There's a lot of I mean,
[00:33:04] I'm giving an example,
[00:33:06] >> but it will. That's why that's why I'm
[00:33:07] doing this interview.
[00:33:08] >> But it may well. Yeah. You know, it was
[00:33:09] very interesting when um I did Celebrity
[00:33:12] Apprentice. It's where I met Donald
[00:33:13] Trump and this was back in, you know,
[00:33:16] 2008 and uh the the organization that I
[00:33:20] raised money for because it was a
[00:33:22] charitable thing. You had to have a
[00:33:23] charity was the Intrepid Fallen Heroes
[00:33:25] Fund and they had a base down in San
[00:33:27] Antonio. So, I went down there and I
[00:33:29] remember distinctly coming off the plane
[00:33:32] and seeing a load of people with flags
[00:33:35] and I couldn't work out what was
[00:33:36] happening. I knew it wasn't for me.
[00:33:38] American flags. And it turned out that
[00:33:40] they were there greeting every single
[00:33:43] serviceman and woman who came off the
[00:33:44] planes from whichever war zone they come
[00:33:47] from because there was a big center
[00:33:49] there. A lot of military service people
[00:33:51] living in San Antonio. A lot of them
[00:33:53] also being treated for serious injuries
[00:33:54] and so on. And they were just applauding
[00:33:57] and thanking them for their service as
[00:33:58] they came off these planes. You'd never
[00:34:00] see that anywhere in the UK. That just
[00:34:02] doesn't exist as a concept to do that. I
[00:34:05] was very struck by that. And you know, I
[00:34:07] I do think America generally is a lot
[00:34:10] more proudly patriotic than we've
[00:34:13] become. We've become almost ashamed of
[00:34:15] being British in a way that I don't
[00:34:16] like. I think we should be prouder of
[00:34:18] ourselves and prouder of what we've
[00:34:20] achieved and prouder of what we could
[00:34:21] be. But one of the reasons why people
[00:34:23] don't feel that pride, I think it's
[00:34:25] because we've had a succession of what I
[00:34:27] would say are pretty hopeless
[00:34:29] politicians who dragged us into a place
[00:34:31] where people don't like it.
[00:34:33] >> I I get it. But maybe you got those
[00:34:34] politicians because the people hate
[00:34:36] themselves.
[00:34:37] >> I don't that we hate ourselves. We're
[00:34:38] just I think I don't know. I think we've
[00:34:40] had a shockingly mediocre tier of
[00:34:42] politicians.
[00:34:43] >> But I mean, the sort of increase in
[00:34:46] British massochism, which has famously
[00:34:48] been part of your sexual retinue for
[00:34:51] centuries, gain me more. Um,
[00:34:55] >> no, that's just true. As you well know,
[00:34:58] I don't know.
[00:34:58] >> Americans love a bit of spanking.
[00:35:01] >> No, not in the boarding school way.
[00:35:02] Anyway, whatever the point is, that has
[00:35:06] increased dramatically since the Second
[00:35:08] World War. And I have done a couple
[00:35:12] segments on the Second World War that
[00:35:13] have been very kind of shallow and not
[00:35:15] even really talking about the details or
[00:35:16] whatever. You're a Holocaust. Obviously,
[00:35:19] I'm not. Whatever that means. Hitler
[00:35:21] killed a ton of Jews. That's terrible.
[00:35:25] So that's been a diversion really that
[00:35:28] specific conversation from a much more
[00:35:30] important broader conversation about
[00:35:32] what that word did to the west. And I I
[00:35:35] think it's totally objectively fair to
[00:35:36] say the west by specifically by which I
[00:35:39] mean your country which is really the
[00:35:41] seat of the west
[00:35:43] has been in decline since the war. So
[00:35:45] like what is that? Do you know?
[00:35:47] >> I mean I wouldn't say it's been in
[00:35:49] decline since the war. There was a lot
[00:35:50] of recovery after the war. It was a
[00:35:52] devastating war. I mean, you know, one
[00:35:54] of the most extraordinary aspects of
[00:35:56] that war is that Winston Churchill, who
[00:35:58] many people here to this day believe,
[00:36:01] you know, pretty well single-handedly
[00:36:02] rallied the morale of the people here to
[00:36:04] help us defeat the Nazis, albeit with
[00:36:07] obviously America's help. That he in the
[00:36:10] end at the end of the war, he got thrown
[00:36:11] out of office because so many people
[00:36:13] came back to a really bad lifestyle, a
[00:36:16] lot of imp impoverishment, a lot of, you
[00:36:18] know, homelessness and so on. Well,
[00:36:20] maybe. Were there other reasons like
[00:36:21] >> No, no, it was that was why they took it
[00:36:22] off.
[00:36:23] >> Did Germany attack you first? Is that
[00:36:25] what happened?
[00:36:26] >> What do you mean?
[00:36:27] >> Did Germany attack Britain? Is that how
[00:36:28] you got into war with Germany?
[00:36:31] >> Germany attacked Poland.
[00:36:33] >> Oh, but not the UK.
[00:36:34] >> No.
[00:36:34] >> Oh, okay. Cuz that that they wanted they
[00:36:37] wanted.
[00:36:37] >> So, you voluntarily joined the war?
[00:36:39] >> Yes.
[00:36:40] >> Okay. Right. I'm not defending Hitler,
[00:36:42] of course, but it's just a fact that you
[00:36:44] weren't attacked. So when you say that
[00:36:47] Churchill saved Britain, well, Britain
[00:36:50] got into the war voluntarily.
[00:36:53] >> Well, voluntarily. One of our well, one
[00:36:55] of our neighboring European countries
[00:36:57] was attacked and it was quite it was
[00:36:59] quite clear that Adolf Hitler and the
[00:37:01] Nazis wanted to take over Europe. This
[00:37:04] was an existential threat to Europe and
[00:37:06] therefore to the UK. So,
[00:37:07] >> so you're arguing that he would have
[00:37:09] come for the UK 100%.
[00:37:11] >> Even though
[00:37:12] >> I think it's very naive to
[00:37:12] >> your politicians and he and there's like
[00:37:15] not one person who was saying that in
[00:37:17] 193940.
[00:37:18] >> No, Neville Chamberlain wasn't cuz he
[00:37:19] totally misread what was going on.
[00:37:21] Winston Churchill completely read
[00:37:23] correctly what was going on and came out
[00:37:24] of the wilderness to actually come and
[00:37:26] save us. I think without him
[00:37:28] >> I think you signed a treaty with Poland
[00:37:29] that locked you into a course of action
[00:37:31] that destroyed your country. I'm just
[00:37:33] saying
[00:37:33] >> you don't honestly think the Nazis would
[00:37:34] have stopped at Poland. I I have no
[00:37:37] idea. I'm just saying.
[00:37:38] >> Yes, you do. Okay. Come on.
[00:37:39] >> I'm Look, I I'm just going by what
[00:37:42] contemporaneous sources said.
[00:37:44] >> I have no idea. Hitler invaded Russia,
[00:37:47] so obviously that's deranged and
[00:37:49] incredibly destructive. So, I don't
[00:37:51] know. It's the truth.
[00:37:53] >> He was focused on communism. No one
[00:37:55] doubts that this was not a communist
[00:37:57] country. But I'm just saying Britain
[00:37:58] voluntarily joined the war. It was a war
[00:38:01] that you were not involved in and you
[00:38:02] got in. But my question is why did it
[00:38:06] destroy Britain? I don't understand as
[00:38:07] the victor name destroy it didn't
[00:38:09] destroy Britain.
[00:38:10] >> Well, look outside in the city of
[00:38:12] London.
[00:38:13] >> Hang on. There's Look, it's Tower
[00:38:15] Bridge. It's the Tower of London.
[00:38:16] Magnificent.
[00:38:17] >> Well, it changed London.
[00:38:19] >> Why do you look at this and see a
[00:38:21] wrecked country? I don't.
[00:38:22] >> Well, I don't see an English country.
[00:38:23] So, we're in the city. What do you mean
[00:38:25] that? What do you mean by that?
[00:38:27] >> It's not Well, people whose ancestors
[00:38:29] built Stonehenge are not here anymore.
[00:38:31] So, the city of London is 36% white, and
[00:38:33] that's happened in the last, I don't
[00:38:34] know, 40 years.
[00:38:35] >> But, but England is about 70% white.
[00:38:39] >> England. Yes. Okay. Well, it was it was
[00:38:42] 99% 1945.
[00:38:43] >> Okay. So, we've evolved.
[00:38:45] >> But you're on the way to becoming the
[00:38:46] minority in the country. So, no one
[00:38:48] wants to say that. I think you can get
[00:38:49] arrested for saying that here.
[00:38:51] >> That's not white supremacy. This is the
[00:38:53] indigenous population of the country.
[00:38:55] It's a statistical fact that I think by
[00:38:57] 2,100
[00:38:59] uh we will be a uh minority white
[00:39:02] country.
[00:39:03] >> 2063 as of today.
[00:39:04] >> Well, I read a bit later, but
[00:39:05] >> but these are dynamic numbers, so they
[00:39:07] change.
[00:39:07] >> But here's my here's my question for
[00:39:08] you. So what?
[00:39:10] >> Well, um let me refer to the beginning
[00:39:12] of our conversation when you said that
[00:39:14] the people who live in a country define
[00:39:16] the character of that country. And then
[00:39:17] you said, "Yes, all the things for which
[00:39:19] we were famous and in which we had
[00:39:21] pride, like our stoicism, our concern
[00:39:23] for others, our tidiness, the cleanest
[00:39:26] country in the world, now it's pretty
[00:39:28] filthy." All those things change when
[00:39:30] you get new people moving there. You
[00:39:32] said that. I mean, you're the racist,
[00:39:33] not me. So, I'm just using I'm using the
[00:39:36] parameters that you said.
[00:39:38] >> I did not say that that was down to
[00:39:41] >> No, you didn't say white people coming
[00:39:43] to the country.
[00:39:44] >> Well, that's who I believe that. No, but
[00:39:46] that's what you said. You said
[00:39:48] >> No, I said there was creaking pressure
[00:39:49] on public services from the increased
[00:39:52] population.
[00:39:53] >> You also maybe foolishly admitted the
[00:39:54] truth. You could get arrested for this.
[00:39:56] I know the stakes are high, but you said
[00:39:58] that when the people who live in a
[00:40:00] country change, so does the culture,
[00:40:01] which is like the most obvious. It's
[00:40:03] like when it rains out, it gets wet.
[00:40:04] That's not a controversial observation,
[00:40:06] but it's illegal here because it is
[00:40:08] true.
[00:40:08] >> And my only point is not against I've
[00:40:11] already said I like the Bangladeshies
[00:40:13] better than I like the liberal whites in
[00:40:14] your country a lot more. They've never
[00:40:15] yelled at me. I'm not attacking them.
[00:40:18] I'm just saying the things that made
[00:40:20] Britain Britain England England. Is
[00:40:22] there still in England? I have no idea.
[00:40:23] Um those are going away because they're
[00:40:25] different people living here. And if you
[00:40:27] think that those are good things in the
[00:40:28] same way that the Swedes or the Chinese
[00:40:30] or the people in Burundi and Chad, they
[00:40:33] like like their culture. It's their
[00:40:35] ancestors culture and now it's gone. And
[00:40:36] like why can't we say that's bad?
[00:40:38] >> Well, because you may think it's bad. I
[00:40:40] have
[00:40:40] >> It's good.
[00:40:41] >> I love living in a very multicultural.
[00:40:43] >> But you're rich. I mean, you're rich.
[00:40:45] You go to the white parts of London,
[00:40:47] they're exactly the same as they were
[00:40:48] when I was a child. I've been coming
[00:40:49] here for 50 years. They're exactly the
[00:40:50] same. The neighbor I'm saying is exactly
[00:40:51] the same.
[00:40:51] >> Which do you think is a white part of
[00:40:53] London?
[00:40:54] >> I'm not going to tell you.
[00:40:55] >> Well, that's a little test for you.
[00:40:56] Which which area of London do you think
[00:40:58] is white?
[00:40:58] >> The one I'm staying in right now. The
[00:41:00] one the one where my relatives live.
[00:41:02] It's uh
[00:41:02] >> where
[00:41:03] >> I'm not going to say.
[00:41:04] >> No, you don't want to say cuz you know
[00:41:05] that I'll immediately say, "Come on,
[00:41:07] there's loads of non-white people living
[00:41:08] there. There's no
[00:41:09] >> By the way, I'm not against there's no
[00:41:11] exclusively white area around.
[00:41:14] Christmas season is here and although
[00:41:15] it's a bit of a cliche, it really is
[00:41:17] important to keep Christ in Christmas.
[00:41:19] Should we focus on cookies and presents
[00:41:21] or on the reason we're doing this, which
[00:41:24] is Jesus? Obviously, the point is Jesus.
[00:41:27] That's the whole point. That's the only
[00:41:29] point. And all the decency and good
[00:41:31] cheer of this holiday comes from Jesus.
[00:41:34] The Hallow Apps Pray 25 challenge
[00:41:37] reminds us of that. It features Chris
[00:41:38] Pratt, Quent Stefani, our friend
[00:41:41] Jonathan Roomie, and many others. This
[00:41:43] 25-day challenge guides you through
[00:41:45] Advent and helps you keep your focus on
[00:41:46] the true reason for the season, Jesus.
[00:41:51] Experience the nativity story where
[00:41:52] Jesus brought peace and calm to world
[00:41:54] and chaos. That's exactly what we need
[00:41:56] right now is peace and calm and still.
[00:41:57] And Jesus is the only one who brings it.
[00:42:00] Period. Hallow was thousands of prayers
[00:42:03] and meditations and music to help you
[00:42:04] connect with God all through Christmas
[00:42:06] and after, including several Christmas

[00:42:23] not now, nor have I ever been. And let
[00:42:24] me just restate. I think I have a lot
[00:42:27] more in common with the Pakistani cab
[00:42:30] driver than I do with the average
[00:42:33] Guardian staffer who's white. I
[00:42:36] >> You're inferring. You're inferring that
[00:42:37] the more I'm not inferring anything.
[00:42:39] Well, you're you're a friend. The more
[00:42:40] multicultural that Britain has become in
[00:42:42] terms of other ethnicities coming to
[00:42:44] live here, then the worse it's got. And
[00:42:47] I'm saying those two things in my view
[00:42:50] are not automatically linked.
[00:42:52] >> There are lots of white people who
[00:42:54] behave very badly in this country.
[00:42:55] >> Well, I've met them and they yell at me.
[00:42:57] So, yes, I just for the fifth time,
[00:43:00] >> I have more in common with the sincerely
[00:43:04] religious Pakistani cab driver than I do
[00:43:06] with anyone who works at the Times of
[00:43:07] London. That is just a fact. I don't
[00:43:09] like those people. I don't want to eat
[00:43:11] with them and they're white. So, all
[00:43:13] true. All I'm saying is the qualities
[00:43:16] that made Britain the greatest country
[00:43:18] in the world were linked directly to the
[00:43:20] people who live here. And so, of course,
[00:43:22] by definition, multicultural means less
[00:43:25] of some cultures because there's
[00:43:27] delilution of the dominant culture. And
[00:43:28] you it can
[00:43:29] >> there are lots of people who are
[00:43:31] non-white who've been born and raised in
[00:43:33] this country who've contribute
[00:43:35] contributed brilliantly. I would never
[00:43:37] deny that
[00:43:37] >> success of this country who've risen to
[00:43:39] the top positions in top industries
[00:43:42] whether it's music
[00:43:43] >> so defensive. I'm not attacking the
[00:43:44] non-whites
[00:43:46] because you're worried about getting
[00:43:47] arrested. I get it. And by the way,
[00:43:48] >> worried about being arrested
[00:43:50] >> when they rush in the door with no guns,
[00:43:52] LITTLE PUPPIES WITH THEIR STICK.
[00:43:53] >> They might if they know you're here
[00:43:54] >> probably.
[00:43:55] >> I'm not worried about
[00:43:56] >> I got hassled at your airport again. And
[00:43:58] yeah, always.
[00:43:59] >> Well, for being Tucker Carlson,
[00:44:01] >> you know, we don't know. It's just it's
[00:44:03] the AI, I guess. Uh but
[00:44:04] >> No, wait. I love that. what happened to
[00:44:06] you?
[00:44:06] >> You know, I was like, go see the
[00:44:08] attendant. And by the way, the attendant
[00:44:09] was some Pakistani woman who was like,
[00:44:11] oh, we're so glad you're here,
[00:44:14] which I don't THINK I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN
[00:44:16] from the liberal white lady. So again,
[00:44:18] once again, I'm not attacking anyone on
[00:44:20] the basis of their race.
[00:44:21] >> But you're saying that our culture has
[00:44:23] changed because we've had other cultures
[00:44:25] come here. Is that your position?
[00:44:26] >> Well, it's not my position. It's a fact.
[00:44:28] And you just said it.
[00:44:29] >> I think I think our
[00:44:30] >> So it's better. So, what about British
[00:44:32] culture didn't you like and has been
[00:44:34] improved by new cultures?
[00:44:36] >> Oh, not much.
[00:44:37] >> Tell me what didn't you like before?
[00:44:38] What are you glad is gone from the
[00:44:39] Britain you grew up
[00:44:40] >> in? Let me tell you, if you came to
[00:44:41] London in the 50s and 60s, the food was
[00:44:44] crap. Absolute crap.
[00:44:46] >> Well, it was that way in the ' 80s when
[00:44:47] I was
[00:44:48] >> inedible. Right now, we have some of the
[00:44:50] best gastronomy.
[00:44:51] >> Amazing. Some of the most expensive,
[00:44:52] too. I wonder is everyone eating there?
[00:44:54] >> No, I can TAKE
[00:44:55] >> I PAID $1,000 for dinner. You're a
[00:44:58] wealthy man leading a very wealthy
[00:44:59] lifestyle. Holy [ __ ] Come with me. Come
[00:45:02] with me to Brick Lane. Come with me to
[00:45:03] Brixton. I'll give you a proper meal.
[00:45:05] >> I love it. You You and I will go to the
[00:45:07] tough parts of TOWN AND EAT STREET FOOD.
[00:45:08] But
[00:45:09] >> I can give you a great
[00:45:10] >> But are you really saying I'll take you
[00:45:12] to the top end of Portoello Market,
[00:45:14] right? You come with me if you want to
[00:45:15] risk death walking up to Portoello
[00:45:18] Market. I'll take you and give you some
[00:45:20] street food and you'll spend.
[00:45:21] >> I've been to Porttoello Market and by
[00:45:22] the way, it's a point of fact I'm quite
[00:45:25] popular there. I will say that IN HILL
[00:45:27] >> I FEEL NO FEAR AT all
[00:45:29] >> in Notting Hill.
[00:45:30] >> Yeah, I will eat
[00:45:31] >> Oh man, I
[00:45:32] >> thought they they they're so liberal
[00:45:34] there.
[00:45:34] >> Don't Don't even get me going.
[00:45:35] >> Even I get a hard time up there.
[00:45:37] >> I think they secretly love me cuz they
[00:45:39] know that they've been naughty.
[00:45:41] >> But whatever my theories aside, here's
[00:45:43] my point. What about British culture,
[00:45:46] apart from the boiled menu, which was
[00:45:50] repulsive, do you think? But the the
[00:45:52] national character and let me say it
[00:45:54] again. Tidiness,
[00:45:56] >> self-restraint,
[00:45:57] >> selflessness,
[00:45:59] >> courage,
[00:46:00] >> fairness,
[00:46:01] >> the British system was imported around
[00:46:03] the world on the basis of one concept,
[00:46:05] fairness.
[00:46:06] >> That comes from the Magna Carta.
[00:46:07] >> I think a lot of
[00:46:08] >> has this become a fairer society. It's
[00:46:09] become completely unfair. You put
[00:46:10] [ __ ] Julian Assange in prison for
[00:46:12] years without charges because the CIA
[00:46:14] told you to. We have had a massive
[00:46:15] rising issue with the suppression of
[00:46:17] free speech.
[00:46:18] >> Which is a fairness issue,
[00:46:19] >> but that has nothing to do with
[00:46:21] ethnicity or polit. So what does it have
[00:46:23] to do with do you think?
[00:46:24] >> It has to do with a very ridiculously
[00:46:28] draconian view of what free speech.
[00:46:29] >> Where does that come from? You've never
[00:46:30] had that
[00:46:31] >> governments. No, but of course, but
[00:46:34] those are attitudes that grow from the
[00:46:36] population or else you would have a
[00:46:37] revolution. This is the country that
[00:46:39] you're no wrong. The population does not
[00:46:42] want this suppression of free speech.
[00:46:44] They may not, but they keep voting for
[00:46:46] the fascists every time. Whether it's
[00:46:48] Boris,
[00:46:49] >> whether it's Boris or whether it's
[00:46:51] Boris.
[00:46:52] >> No,
[00:46:53] >> he's a buffoon. It doesn't mean he's not
[00:46:55] an authoritarian.
[00:46:56] >> He wants It's funny you mentioned the
[00:46:58] word buffoon. So I once interviewed
[00:46:59] >> I mean that's actually a matter
[00:47:01] >> doesn't know how many children he has.
[00:47:02] >> I'm going tell you why I know. Because I
[00:47:03] once I once interviewed him for GQ and I
[00:47:05] said, "Boris, this is 20089." I said,
[00:47:08] "Boris, I've always thought that lurking
[00:47:11] beneath the buffoon exterior lies a
[00:47:14] sharp, calculating political mind that
[00:47:15] wants to be prime minister." He wasn't
[00:47:17] even a a sort of politician at the time.
[00:47:19] He looked at me and he said, "Well, you
[00:47:20] must consider the the possibility that
[00:47:23] lurking beneath the buffoon exterior is
[00:47:25] an actual buffoon."
[00:47:28] >> True.
[00:47:28] >> So, so he was right.
[00:47:29] >> No, he was
[00:47:30] >> I can't say we weren't warned.
[00:47:31] >> But the point is, look, it's not like
[00:47:34] >> he's not a fascist though, Boris
[00:47:35] Johnson. He's an authoritarian,
[00:47:36] >> but it diminishes the word fascist when
[00:47:38] you say that about people. I get annoyed
[00:47:40] with
[00:47:40] >> what what is fascism actually? I mean,
[00:47:42] we're we meaning the collective west,
[00:47:44] meaning the allies, meaning Roosevelt
[00:47:46] and Churchill, meaning America and its
[00:47:49] cousins in the UK were fighting against
[00:47:50] an authoritarian system.
[00:47:52] >> It wasn't just about race hate. It was
[00:47:54] about full control of a population. We
[00:47:56] were arguing against that and fighting
[00:47:57] against, of course, we were also funding
[00:47:58] it when we sent money to Stalin, but
[00:47:59] whatever. It was never fully consistent.
[00:48:02] But that's what we tell ourselves. And
[00:48:03] now that's what you have. M
[00:48:04] >> there were three times as many people
[00:48:06] arrested in the UK
[00:48:08] >> last year for speech crimes as were
[00:48:11] arrested in Putin's Russia and you have
[00:48:13] half the population. So this is much
[00:48:15] more authoritarian than Putin's Russia.
[00:48:17] >> No, it's not.
[00:48:18] >> Well, how is how is it not? That's
[00:48:19] ridiculous.
[00:48:19] >> If you have three times as many arrests
[00:48:21] for speech crimes, it's more
[00:48:22] authoritative.
[00:48:22] >> I've not seen that stat. If that is
[00:48:24] true, it's because we have been so
[00:48:26] appalling in protecting free speech.
[00:48:28] >> Well, you're appalling. I'm not No, no
[00:48:30] debate there. I'm just saying as a m
[00:48:32] like how do you define authoritarian?
[00:48:34] >> The idea that we are living here in a
[00:48:36] more authoritarian state than Russia
[00:48:39] >> if you're no come on those are the
[00:48:40] numbers.
[00:48:41] >> You don't believe that?
[00:48:42] >> Uh look I believe in science. I believe
[00:48:45] in science.
[00:48:46] >> You think England is more authoritarian
[00:48:47] than Russia.
[00:48:47] >> I think you're more likely to be
[00:48:49] arrested for a speech crime in Great
[00:48:51] Britain. Indeed times as likely.
[00:48:53] >> What would happen if you criticize if
[00:48:54] you go on if you went on the airwaves
[00:48:56] here tonight?
[00:48:56] >> I'm an American. They're not going to
[00:48:57] mess with me.
[00:48:58] >> No. But if you went on the airwaves here
[00:48:59] tonight and you start abusing and
[00:49:02] hammering and mocking and criticizing
[00:49:03] our prime minister, which by the way
[00:49:05] many people are doing,
[00:49:06] >> I'll give you a question. If you did
[00:49:08] that, what would happen to you?
[00:49:10] >> Nothing.
[00:49:11] >> Exactly.
[00:49:11] >> But what if I said I thought gay sex was
[00:49:13] disgusting and should be illegal? And if
[00:49:15] you
[00:49:15] >> Wait, hold on. HOLD ON. THAT'S NOTHING,
[00:49:17] PRIME MINISTER. HOW ABOUT I'M OPPOSED TO
[00:49:19] SOLDERING THAT?
[00:49:20] >> I HAVEN'T FINISHED MY QUESTION. And if
[00:49:21] you went to Moscow and you went on the
[00:49:24] airwaves and you did that about Putin,
[00:49:25] what would happen?
[00:49:26] >> You'd be in trouble,
[00:49:27] >> right? So there's a difference. That's
[00:49:29] an authoritarian state.
[00:49:30] >> No, no. That's a straightforward. This
[00:49:31] one is not. That's a straightforward.
[00:49:32] >> This is a flawed democracy.
[00:49:34] >> No. This is global homo. That is No, no.
[00:49:36] This is global homo.
[00:49:38] >> It is. It's global homo. This is
[00:49:39] >> What do you mean?
[00:49:40] >> I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell
[00:49:41] you. This is a concept that you need to
[00:49:42] understand. This is the Yes, you do.
[00:49:46] >> This is the authoritarianism
[00:49:48] of the present and future. And it's not
[00:49:51] it's the feline passive aggressive
[00:49:53] female version that doesn't tell you
[00:49:54] what it is. They don't march into your
[00:49:56] town in jack boots and put a rifle
[00:49:57] against your face and
[00:49:58] >> they do that in Russia
[00:50:00] >> for sure. It's much more straightforward
[00:50:01] >> and they kill you and you fall off a
[00:50:03] building suddenly.
[00:50:04] >> Oh, you kill tons of people. You kill
[00:50:05] tons of people.
[00:50:06] >> I don't disagree.
[00:50:07] >> Oh, yeah. You do a lot. Yeah.
[00:50:09] >> Right. So, let's let's stop with the
[00:50:10] killing people because you kill tons of
[00:50:11] people. But, as you well know, cuz you
[00:50:14] know the people who do it and I do too.
[00:50:16] >> No, I'm saying there's something
[00:50:19] more offensive about an authoritarianism
[00:50:22] that will not admit what it is. So
[00:50:24] instead, people are arrested here and
[00:50:26] thrown into jail. And I've I've been to
[00:50:27] Bel Marsh prison. It's awful.
[00:50:29] >> I've been there.
[00:50:30] >> It's awful. It is.
[00:50:31] >> But you walk in
[00:50:33] >> and there are all these signs about
[00:50:34] Trans Acceptance Week.
[00:50:37] >> It is fascism wrapped in the Human
[00:50:41] Rights Campaign Rainbow logo. It's
[00:50:44] >> not any different from what we were
[00:50:47] fighting against. Arresting you for
[00:50:49] saying something they don't want.
[00:50:50] >> I certainly believe this has been my big
[00:50:52] criticism of the woke left. I wrote this
[00:50:54] book called woke is dead which is more
[00:50:55] an aspiration than a reality at the
[00:50:57] moment. But the the point I was making
[00:51:00] was that the woke left became in the end
[00:51:04] like the very fascist they profess to
[00:51:05] hate most. They literally behaved like
[00:51:08] fascists.
[00:51:09] >> Anyone that deviated from their
[00:51:10] worldview.
[00:51:11] >> I don't want you to devalue the term.
[00:51:12] >> No, no, I'm not. I'm explaining I'm
[00:51:14] explaining the I'm explaining the
[00:51:15] hypocrisy of the left.
[00:51:16] >> No, I get it. which I think we can
[00:51:18] probably agree with is if you start to
[00:51:19] behave like the very people you claim
[00:51:20] you hate most, you are a brazen
[00:51:22] hypocrite.
[00:51:23] >> It's not just the left, it's the right
[00:51:25] unfortunately. I agree. Some of the
[00:51:27] rights doing it as well. I agree. Um
[00:51:28] hypocrisy is hypocrisy, isn't it?
[00:51:30] Wherever you see it. Um, and I I do
[00:51:32] think that this
[00:51:34] the way I would categorize what's
[00:51:36] happened here is successive governments
[00:51:38] right and left have pandered to a weird
[00:51:43] sentiment driven by very vocal but small
[00:51:46] numbers of people that we have to start
[00:51:48] getting into the suppressing free speech
[00:51:50] business. And it's been a catastrophic
[00:51:52] failure which has diminished this
[00:51:54] country. What we're beginning to see is
[00:51:56] the coming out of that. And I'll give an
[00:51:58] example. When Graeme Lahan, the
[00:51:59] comedian,
[00:52:00] >> Yeah. the father Ted Genius, right? And
[00:52:02] he decided to take on this whole trans
[00:52:04] issue head on. And bit like JK Rowling,
[00:52:06] he got shamed, vilified, canceled. He
[00:52:09] lost everything. He lost his family, he
[00:52:11] lost his jobs, he lost everything.
[00:52:12] Became unemployable, completely
[00:52:13] canceled. And he ca he did some jokes on
[00:52:17] X back in April and they were Yeah. They
[00:52:21] were just like harmless, right? He
[00:52:23] talked about a trans woman coming into a
[00:52:26] into a woman's space. harmless to you as
[00:52:28] a non-trans person but genocidal to the
[00:52:30] trans community
[00:52:31] >> which again is ridiculous. So he he he
[00:52:33] did a joke about a trans woman coming
[00:52:35] into a a woman's space and he said what
[00:52:38] you should kick him in the balls, right?
[00:52:39] It was a joke. It was an earbuckle joke.
[00:52:42] If you're over sensitive, you go. Most
[00:52:45] people just laughed and took it for what
[00:52:46] it was. Some kind of joke that wouldn't
[00:52:48] even be considered remotely
[00:52:50] controversial 10 years ago. When he
[00:52:52] arrived at Heathrow airport several
[00:52:54] months later, he was arrested by five
[00:52:56] armed police officers and taken off to
[00:52:58] the cells. And I just found that utterly
[00:53:01] shocking. So, I'm not pretending there's
[00:53:03] not been a massive problem about free
[00:53:04] speech. But what was interesting and
[00:53:06] encouraging was the public backlash,
[00:53:08] hence my book title, Woke is dead. The
[00:53:11] public backlash was so ferocious that
[00:53:14] within a week the police said, "We're
[00:53:15] not going to prosecute Linen." And
[00:53:17] actually, they said further, "We're
[00:53:19] never going to prosecute anyone for this
[00:53:22] kind of thing again."
[00:53:23] >> That was a moment when I went, we're
[00:53:25] finally getting a bit of
[00:53:26] >> That's not So, the trans thing is
[00:53:28] absurd. It's so absurd that like it's
[00:53:30] easy for people to say that's absurd.
[00:53:33] >> What's actually happening here, as I
[00:53:34] think you know, is the society is being
[00:53:36] changed by its leaders against the will
[00:53:37] of the population. The population hates
[00:53:39] it. They've always hated it. No
[00:53:40] population wants radical demographic
[00:53:42] change. None.
[00:53:44] And so it's been so profound since 1997
[00:53:48] under Tony Blair that you're not allowed
[00:53:50] to note that your country is being taken
[00:53:52] from you. Okay? So you can criticize
[00:53:55] traies all you want. You cannot
[00:53:56] criticize Israel, as you know. You're
[00:53:59] not allowed to criticize demographic
[00:54:01] change, and you can't criticize the rest
[00:54:03] of the fabled LGBT community. And if you
[00:54:04] don't believe me, listen to this story,
[00:54:06] which is like it's unbelievable. This is
[00:54:07] from the Daily Mail, which is like kind
[00:54:10] of a ridiculous publication, but I
[00:54:11] >> I love the Daily Mail.
[00:54:12] >> I do too. I I there's a lot about it I
[00:54:14] like, but I mean, it's like absurd. But
[00:54:15] anyway, Elizabeth Penny from Tranmir,
[00:54:19] have you read about this?
[00:54:20] >> Go on.
[00:54:20] >> She's a mother of four. I think she's a
[00:54:22] nurse, and she gets beaten up by her
[00:54:24] boyfriend. He beats her She goes to the
[00:54:26] hospital and she texts someone, a buddy
[00:54:31] of hers, a friend of hers, a girlfriend
[00:54:32] of hers, and describes the man who beat
[00:54:35] her up and send her to the hospital as a
[00:54:37] quote [ __ ] He's a [ __ ]
[00:54:41] >> And she's arrested and convicted of a
[00:54:44] hate crime.
[00:54:45] >> The guy who beat her up is not arrested
[00:54:48] or convicted. And then she goes through
[00:54:50] this whole kabuki, which is now
[00:54:52] required, where she prostrates herself
[00:54:54] before the judge. I'm sorry. It was not
[00:54:55] a homophobic rant. By the way, you're
[00:54:57] allowed to be homophobic if you want in
[00:54:58] a free country. You can have any view
[00:54:59] you want. But no, because she used the
[00:55:01] word [ __ ] she's arrested and the guy
[00:55:04] who punched her in the face was not.
[00:55:06] That story tells you everything.
[00:55:09] >> Well, I don't know that story. If it's
[00:55:11] exactly
[00:55:11] >> Daily Mail, baby, pictures of her and
[00:55:13] everything.
[00:55:13] >> Not doubting it. I'm just saying I need
[00:55:14] to look into it. But if that is how
[00:55:16] you've told it, obviously it's
[00:55:17] ridiculous.
[00:55:18] >> Would you say the word [ __ ] on camera?
[00:55:20] >> No.
[00:55:20] >> Why?
[00:55:21] >> Cuz I
[00:55:22] >> You don't want to get arrested, do you?
[00:55:23] >> I want to be arrested.
[00:55:25] cuz it's so harmful to people. Is that
[00:55:26] like gay bashing? Like what's wrong with
[00:55:28] that?
[00:55:28] >> Actually, my whole issue with the whole
[00:55:30] trans debate, for example, is you don't
[00:55:32] need to slide into actually saying
[00:55:34] derogatory stuff about trans people to
[00:55:36] make the point that women's rights
[00:55:37] should be protected. You don't need to
[00:55:39] >> Well, I agree.
[00:55:40] >> So, so what I don't believe in I don't
[00:55:42] believe in needlessly, you know,
[00:55:44] smearing.
[00:55:45] >> I'm not smearing anybody. I just think
[00:55:46] >> But why would you use that word?
[00:55:48] >> [ __ ] I just did.
[00:55:49] >> But would you use [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ]
[00:55:51] >> Okay. But but why? And I'm using it
[00:55:52] because you're not allowed to. Because
[00:55:54] you're
[00:55:54] >> I'm allowed to
[00:55:55] >> go ahead.
[00:55:56] >> I don't want to
[00:55:56] >> say I love gay people, [ __ ]
[00:55:58] >> I'm I'm allowed to. I just choose not
[00:56:00] to.
[00:56:01] >> This chick just got arrested for it and
[00:56:03] convicted. So that doesn't have a
[00:56:04] chilling effect on your ability.
[00:56:06] >> But there are people watching this who
[00:56:08] will be offended by the use of the word.
[00:56:09] >> Surely will. I'm not anti-gay. I never
[00:56:10] have been. I can use any freaking word I
[00:56:12] want.
[00:56:13] >> By the use of the word chick.
[00:56:16] >> CHICK.
[00:56:17] >> OKAY. I WONDER HOW DARE YOU BE SO SEXIST
[00:56:20] comparing women to chicks.
[00:56:21] >> How about this? Let my life, the way
[00:56:23] that I actually live and treat people be
[00:56:25] the testament to my heart. That's how I
[00:56:27] feel.
[00:56:27] >> And if I've mistreated someone,
[00:56:29] >> I don't think you I don't believe I
[00:56:31] don't you correct me if I'm wrong. I
[00:56:33] don't believe you would call a gay
[00:56:34] person a [ __ ] to their face.
[00:56:36] >> Not in a mean way. By the way, the only
[00:56:37] people I ever hear use the word [ __ ]
[00:56:39] are gay. Ever.
[00:56:40] >> Just like the only people you ever hear
[00:56:42] use the nword are black.
[00:56:43] >> Right.
[00:56:44] >> Period.
[00:56:45] >> Right. So if you spend any time around
[00:56:47] gays and I have spent a lot of time
[00:56:49] around gays who of course I work in
[00:56:51] television. I mean half our staff was
[00:56:52] gay and they're great people
[00:56:54] >> and they're the only ones who ever SAID
[00:56:55] [ __ ] HE'S A [ __ ] and be like
[00:56:59] I have no need to say the word actually
[00:57:00] it's kind of an ugly word to be totally
[00:57:02] >> honest. You know the argument they use
[00:57:04] which is and I
[00:57:04] >> well they don't use it. They use THE
[00:57:06] WORD CONSTANTLY AND I'VE WORKED WITH
[00:57:07] THEM MY WHOLE LIFE.
[00:57:08] >> WELL I WROTE A COLUMN FOR EXAMPLE about
[00:57:10] the use of
[00:57:10] >> but I'm not allowed to use it but you
[00:57:12] are. I don't play those games.
[00:57:13] >> Listen I got to make a point. I wrote a
[00:57:14] I read a column for the Mail actually
[00:57:16] about the use of the N-word and the
[00:57:18] Washington Post did a huge report on
[00:57:20] this and said that every day on Twitter
[00:57:22] as it was then the N-word was used half
[00:57:24] a million times but almost exclusively
[00:57:27] by young African-American men.
[00:57:30] >> So it's cool.
[00:57:31] >> Well, they they would argue and I
[00:57:33] understood the argument. It's their
[00:57:35] they've reclaimed that word.
[00:57:37] >> I don't believe in universal rights
[00:57:38] either. I think certain standards should
[00:57:40] apply to certain people based on their
[00:57:41] blood and but don't apply to everybody.
[00:57:45] >> What do you mean?
[00:57:47] >> I mean THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
[00:57:48] >> NO, NO, you
[00:57:50] >> the standards have to be absolute or
[00:57:51] they're not standard.
[00:57:52] >> I was about to make my argument that I
[00:57:54] made in
[00:57:54] >> Sorry, YOU'RE GETTING ME SO WOUND UP.
[00:57:56] >> NO, NO, BUT I actually made the point in
[00:57:57] the column that I don't think that
[00:57:59] works. I don't think you reclaim it.
[00:58:01] What you actually do is you empower
[00:58:03] genuine racists to say, "Well, if
[00:58:05] they're using that word, I'm going to
[00:58:07] use it." And so I felt it was an
[00:58:09] entirely self-defeating reclamation of
[00:58:12] that offensive word. I would say the
[00:58:13] same to gay people. If you constantly
[00:58:15] use the f word uh in your own,
[00:58:18] >> what's the f word?
[00:58:19] >> You know what we've just been saying? If
[00:58:20] you want to keep saying it, you keep
[00:58:21] saying it. I'm not going to keep saying
[00:58:22] >> it's worse than [ __ ] isn't it?
[00:58:24] >> Uh to a gay person. From a straight
[00:58:26] person. Yes.
[00:58:28] >> Have from a straight person, but not
[00:58:29] from the gay person.
[00:58:30] >> That's my point. I don't.
[00:58:32] >> So I thought we I understand the
[00:58:34] reclamation argument that they put up
[00:58:36] that if they
[00:58:37] >> reclamation
[00:58:38] >> then they're reclaiming the word and
[00:58:39] they're disempowering it as an
[00:58:41] offensive.
[00:58:41] >> I don't care. I think that's kind of
[00:58:42] amusing actually. I sort
[00:58:44] >> I just don't think it works. I think the
[00:58:45] more these words get used then the more
[00:58:47] >> But is it really about words? I guess
[00:58:49] what I'm saying is I think it empowers
[00:58:51] people who are genuinely racist or
[00:58:52] homophobic to then use those words.
[00:58:54] >> Okay, they're genuinely racist and
[00:58:55] homophobic. I don't care. Why don't you
[00:58:56] pick up the trash? Okay, that's kind of
[00:58:58] how I feel. And stop letting people from
[00:59:00] countries where they can't speak English
[00:59:02] come to your country by the millions.
[00:59:03] Like,
[00:59:04] >> don't the material things matter? Don't
[00:59:06] the actual things matter? Your father
[00:59:08] lying on a cot in a public hospital.
[00:59:09] >> I do think that people when they come to
[00:59:11] a country should try and learn the
[00:59:12] language,
[00:59:13] >> of course. But no, but what I'm not,
[00:59:14] again, I'm not attacking anybody. I'm
[00:59:16] just saying the whole debate about what
[00:59:18] words are allowed and by whom
[00:59:21] >> is first of all insane because again
[00:59:23] standards mean nothing unless they apply
[00:59:25] to everyone because we believe in human
[00:59:27] rights not group rights or ethnic
[00:59:29] rights. We're against that cuz we're
[00:59:30] against the Nazis, right?
[00:59:31] >> Mhm.
[00:59:32] >> So there's that. But it's also a
[00:59:34] distraction from what actually matters.
[00:59:36] If your dad is spending hours I'm sure
[00:59:38] he was a he was a Britney. He spent his
[00:59:39] whole life here paying taxes and that's
[00:59:41] what he gets.
[00:59:42] >> It's like we should be having
[00:59:43] >> completely unacceptable. But it is
[00:59:45] acceptable. That's the problem. And
[00:59:46] instead, we're arresting that girl for
[00:59:49] saying [ __ ]
[00:59:49] >> Well, the two things
[00:59:50] >> or as we say here, the f- word.
[00:59:51] >> Yeah. Look, I like I said, I don't know
[00:59:53] that story. I'll look into it. But I I
[00:59:54] do if that is
[00:59:55] >> She look like a [ __ ] user to you. She
[00:59:57] looks too nice.
[01:00:00] >> Come on. Sorry.
[01:00:02] >> Behave yourself.
[01:00:02] >> No, I can't. I
[01:00:03] >> I know you can't.
[01:00:04] >> They're making me want to say that
[01:00:07] because it's so outrageous that you
[01:00:10] would arrest someone for a word.
[01:00:12] >> No, I agree. And like we actually have
[01:00:15] to put ourselves at risk to
[01:00:16] >> I agree.
[01:00:17] >> Yeah,
[01:00:17] >> I agree with you.
[01:00:18] >> Well, then help me now. Let's let's do
[01:00:20] let's let's have a moment of self
[01:00:22] liberation.
[01:00:22] >> I think you're beyond help.
[01:00:23] >> Hold my hand. Hold my hand. We're going
[01:00:24] to say [ __ ] together. You ready?
[01:00:26] >> No, we're not.
[01:00:27] >> Do you say gay and [ __ ]
[01:00:28] >> Huh?
[01:00:28] >> Do you say gay and [ __ ]
[01:00:30] >> I say gay. I wouldn't use the R word.
[01:00:34] >> I wouldn't. I personally wouldn't.
[01:00:36] >> Are you my choice? By the way,
[01:00:38] >> you think it should be legal to abort a
[01:00:39] down syndrome baby? I I am exercising my
[01:00:42] free speech right not to use that word.
[01:00:43] >> I totally agree. I actually don't use
[01:00:44] the nword ever because I think it's
[01:00:46] ugly. I just don't
[01:00:47] >> by your own
[01:00:48] >> I don't
[01:00:50] >> I kind of agree. I'm not even I'm mostly
[01:00:52] making fun to make a point. I actually
[01:00:54] think that
[01:00:55] >> we should not kill people because they
[01:00:56] have Down syndrome. I think they're
[01:00:58] beautiful people and I think when you
[01:00:59] get to heaven it'll probably be filled
[01:01:00] with people with Down syndrome because
[01:01:01] they are pure in spirit. I'm not joking
[01:01:03] even a tiny bit. I really believe that.
[01:01:05] But people who think it's okay to
[01:01:07] genocide everyone with Down syndrome
[01:01:08] through the alpha feta protein test are
[01:01:11] lecturing me because I'm using the word
[01:01:12] [ __ ] It's like maybe we're missing
[01:01:14] the real argument. That's all I'm
[01:01:15] saying. Does that make sense?
[01:01:17] >> It does. Although I'm pro a woman's
[01:01:19] right to choose what to do with her
[01:01:20] body,
[01:01:21] >> including
[01:01:21] >> and bear in mind
[01:01:22] >> aborting someone cuz he's [ __ ]
[01:01:23] >> Well, in this country to be clear,
[01:01:26] abortion is a very settled issue.
[01:01:28] >> George Galloway doesn't believe in
[01:01:29] >> Well, no, but honestly, it's not a
[01:01:31] contentious issue. in America. I know in
[01:01:33] America it's a ferociously contentious
[01:01:35] issue. It is simply not one in this
[01:01:37] country.
[01:01:37] >> Maybe that's part of the problem.
[01:01:38] >> I don't I don't think it's a problem at
[01:01:39] all.
[01:01:40] >> Who's having the abortions here?
[01:01:42] >> Well, a lot of people have abortions
[01:01:44] here,
[01:01:44] >> right? It's pretty overwhelmingly though
[01:01:46] people whose grandparents lived here.
[01:01:47] Have you ever noticed that?
[01:01:48] >> Who's people? Who? What?
[01:01:49] >> It's the native population having the
[01:01:51] abortions. It's not immigrants not
[01:01:52] having a ton of abortions. I mean, if
[01:01:54] you look at the numbers,
[01:01:54] >> I don't know. I don't know the
[01:01:55] demographic,
[01:01:56] >> but that's true everywhere. And I just
[01:01:58] at a deeper issue. So like what is the
[01:02:01] loss of the will to live? Why if you're
[01:02:04] not have and you're a huge exception to
[01:02:05] this. I know you've procreated as have
[01:02:08] I.
[01:02:09] >> God bless us both. But a lot of na
[01:02:12] nativeborn Brits do not have many
[01:02:16] children if any. It's also true in the
[01:02:17] United States. It's especially true in
[01:02:18] Canada.
[01:02:19] >> Well, I think I think this is becoming a
[01:02:20] massive issue and Elon Musk has been
[01:02:22] right about this. The biggest problem is
[01:02:24] not as we all assumed overpopulation in
[01:02:26] the world but underpopulation because a
[01:02:29] lot of people now especially as the
[01:02:31] changing way society has gone with many
[01:02:34] more women working and so on that the
[01:02:36] number of children that are being born
[01:02:38] actually in places like the UK and the
[01:02:41] US is reducing quite marketkedly
[01:02:43] projected for the next 50 years and
[01:02:45] you're seeing in some countries in Asia
[01:02:48] for example it's getting
[01:02:49] catastrophically low very fast and this
[01:02:51] is going to be a massive South Korea.
[01:02:53] >> Yeah, it's going to be
[01:02:53] >> there will be no South Koreans in 100
[01:02:55] years. Only be North Koreans. What does
[01:02:57] that tell you?
[01:02:57] >> Well, it's not a good not a good moment.
[01:02:59] >> No, but where's that I I totally agree
[01:03:02] with you and with Elon? And again, I
[01:03:04] feel like we've all done our part to
[01:03:05] reverse that trend. But I feel like we
[01:03:08] spend no time asking why is this?
[01:03:11] >> Well, don't you think it's as simple in
[01:03:12] most cases as the changing work
[01:03:15] practice? If you went 1950s, 1950s in
[01:03:18] the UK, most women didn't work. Now when
[01:03:20] women go out to work a lot more, they
[01:03:21] probably don't have the time to have
[01:03:24] three, four, five children as you use.
[01:03:26] >> There's no doubt. They can't afford it.
[01:03:27] Child care is more in the United States.
[01:03:30] It's more expensive than I think any
[01:03:32] other expense. But um for young people
[01:03:34] with children,
[01:03:35] >> of course, you're right. But there's
[01:03:37] also something a little bit deeper than
[01:03:38] that. It's like it used to be just
[01:03:41] axiomatic that reproducing was not just
[01:03:44] your duty, but your greatest joy. That
[01:03:46] was the way you
[01:03:47] >> create the next generation. continue
[01:03:49] your civilization and that has died
[01:03:52] since the second world war and not just
[01:03:54] in the
[01:03:54] >> no I think it's
[01:03:56] >> world but yeah so but
[01:03:58] >> that is like a profound change
[01:04:00] >> what is inargument actually look like I
[01:04:01] said the population here has gone from
[01:04:03] 50 million to 70 million since the ' 50s
[01:04:06] the the really worrying graph is what
[01:04:08] happens in the next 50 years
[01:04:10] >> but that growth in population has been
[01:04:13] almost exclusively from immigration and
[01:04:15] true in the United States and Canada is
[01:04:17] just like a completely different
[01:04:18] country.
[01:04:19] Nothing like that has ever happened in
[01:04:21] the history of the world. Why is this
[01:04:23] happening?
[01:04:25] >> Well, what in terms of people traveling
[01:04:26] around?
[01:04:27] >> No. In terms of people deciding not to
[01:04:30] pass on their genes, committing mass
[01:04:31] suicide, cuz that's what that is.
[01:04:33] >> Well,
[01:04:34] >> yeah. Our families lived in this village
[01:04:35] for 2000s, the beginning of recorded
[01:04:37] history in this country,
[01:04:39] >> unlike mine. You have a native
[01:04:40] population. You're
[01:04:41] >> because no one could.
[01:04:42] >> You're the Cherokee of this island.
[01:04:44] Okay. Yeah, I don't want to give you a
[01:04:45] history lesson, but 100 years ago, you
[01:04:47] know, we everyone travel by horse and
[01:04:49] car. There was no airplane. You couldn't
[01:04:51] leave the country. You couldn't go to
[01:04:52] other places. But rather like tribes
[01:04:55] 2,000 years ago who used to literally
[01:04:57] just sit in their little area or
[01:04:59] wherever it may be, eventually they
[01:05:01] ventured out. And so evolution before
[01:05:04] that, I'm not I would never argue
[01:05:05] against flew here actually.
[01:05:06] >> Yeah. Right. Of course. So once you're
[01:05:08] able to do that, obviously people are
[01:05:10] going to go exploring. They're going to
[01:05:11] want to try and live in other places.
[01:05:13] The question then becomes how enriching
[01:05:15] or damaging or both and in what levels
[01:05:19] is an influx of people from other
[01:05:22] ethnicities, other cultures, other
[01:05:24] countries? I would say on balance,
[01:05:26] London in particular has been almost a
[01:05:29] template actually for tolerance and
[01:05:32] cohesion and multiculturalism at its
[01:05:35] best.
[01:05:36] >> The stabbings you're talking about?
[01:05:37] >> Well, and let's talk about the
[01:05:38] stabbings. The murder rate in London, do
[01:05:40] you know what it is compared to any
[01:05:41] major city in America?
[01:05:42] >> Probably much lower, I would think. Way
[01:05:45] lower testosterone level here. I mean,
[01:05:46] you can feel it, too. That's true.
[01:05:48] Actually, every time. Oh, I'm aware. I'm
[01:05:50] aware. But look, I'm not
[01:05:51] >> You have the worst murder rates.
[01:05:53] >> Oh, I know. And by the way, we always
[01:05:55] have, which is interesting. And there
[01:05:56] are a lot of factors for that. And it's
[01:05:58] one of the saddest things in my country.
[01:05:59] I would never defend
[01:06:00] >> the violent the murder rate in London,
[01:06:01] for example. I checked before I came and
[01:06:02] saw you cuz I thought you
[01:06:03] >> you think London's a better city than it
[01:06:05] was 40 years ago, 50 years ago. Well,
[01:06:06] statistically the murder rate is is
[01:06:08] actually been plummeting in London.
[01:06:09] >> Do you know anything?
[01:06:10] >> I'm good. I tell you the problem in
[01:06:11] London, what we really need in London.
[01:06:13] >> Wait, do you think it's a better city
[01:06:15] than it was 40 years ago? For real?
[01:06:16] >> Yeah.
[01:06:17] >> You think Siddiq Khan's better than what
[01:06:18] you had before?
[01:06:19] >> I think Sadi Khan is somebody who's won
[01:06:22] two more terms after his first because
[01:06:26] actually he's not done as bad a job as
[01:06:28] people say.
[01:06:28] >> Oh, that's nor has he done as well, no
[01:06:31] nor has he done as good a job as as he
[01:06:33] would like you to believe. But certainly
[01:06:34] in things like tackling murder, I give
[01:06:36] him credit. In tackling things like the
[01:06:38] clean air, where some of the burs here
[01:06:41] were the most polluted.
[01:06:42] >> You have no factories. You don't make
[01:06:44] anything. How? All you do is banking.
[01:06:45] How could there be dirty air? What are
[01:06:47] you even talking about? There's no
[01:06:48] manufacturing. You lost automotive. You
[01:06:50] lost aerospace. You lost You lost
[01:06:53] everything. Steel. It's clean air
[01:06:55] because
[01:06:56] >> people are idle. They're delivering food
[01:06:58] to people who work at banks. There's
[01:06:59] more there is there is more there is
[01:07:02] more traffic now in London than there
[01:07:04] was even four years ago.
[01:07:05] >> I'm sure.
[01:07:06] >> Right. So that's called tourism.
[01:07:07] >> So my burough Kent and Chelsea for
[01:07:09] example, one in 12 people there was a
[01:07:11] big study on this a few years ago. One
[01:07:13] in 12 people were dying from pollution
[01:07:15] related illness. Right. I had a lot of
[01:07:17] issues which I thought were allergy
[01:07:19] issues. Eventually I was told right
[01:07:21] here's what you should do. Check your
[01:07:23] air quality app every morning. When it's
[01:07:25] really high don't go out and shut the
[01:07:26] windows. Secondly, get air purifying
[01:07:29] machines in your house for the rooms you
[01:07:31] use. I did both. Guess what? I've had no
[01:07:33] problems since and I didn't have any
[01:07:34] allergies.
[01:07:35] >> Well, that's amazing.
[01:07:36] >> And all it cost was the total
[01:07:37] destruction of your economy. So, why do
[01:07:40] you think the air was polluted before?
[01:07:42] Because people were burning.
[01:07:43] >> Economy has not been destroyed. We're
[01:07:44] still one of the biggest economies in
[01:07:45] the world.
[01:07:45] >> What What is the economy here? What's it
[01:07:47] based on?
[01:07:48] >> What do you mean?
[01:07:49] >> Like, what what's the British economy? I
[01:07:50] say I I look at the economy of I don't
[01:07:52] know Wales in 1900 and it's like it's
[01:07:55] coal. They mines. They did coal. people
[01:07:56] burn it. That's what their economy is.
[01:07:58] Look at the economy of Sheffield or
[01:08:00] Birmingham 100 years ago. Well, of
[01:08:01] course, it was steel making. What's the
[01:08:03] economy?
[01:08:04] >> There's still a lot of manufacturing in
[01:08:05] the UK. A lot of
[01:08:06] >> But as as a percentage, your
[01:08:08] >> percentage of manufacturing could be a
[01:08:09] lot less.
[01:08:10] >> A lot less. It's almost non-existent,
[01:08:12] right? So,
[01:08:13] >> we still have one of the biggest
[01:08:14] economies in the world now.
[01:08:15] >> But what is that economy based on?
[01:08:17] >> A lot of things.
[01:08:18] >> Okay. What's the main one?
[01:08:19] >> Well, under the city, there's a lot of
[01:08:20] manufacturing.
[01:08:21] >> That's the main one.
[01:08:22] >> Well, there's a lot of technology stuff
[01:08:24] going on. There's a lot of scientific
[01:08:25] stuff going on. It's a lot of all sorts
[01:08:26] of industries.
[01:08:27] >> You haven't you haven't mentioned the
[01:08:28] biggest one by far.
[01:08:29] >> Well, go on.
[01:08:30] >> Was lending money to people. It's
[01:08:32] banking.
[01:08:33] >> Banking. Yeah.
[01:08:34] >> OKAY.
[01:08:35] >> THAT'S NUMBER WE'RE IN THE CITY OF
[01:08:36] LONDON RIGHT NOW.
[01:08:37] >> How many things are being made in the
[01:08:39] city of London other than debt?
[01:08:40] >> It's one of the financial hubs of the
[01:08:41] world. We're right in the city here. I
[01:08:43] >> I know we're sitting in the city of
[01:08:44] London right now. Run by city con.
[01:08:46] >> Right.
[01:08:47] >> Um
[01:08:47] >> but again, it's not as bad as people
[01:08:48] think it is.
[01:08:49] >> But but hold on. Is that really an
[01:08:50] economy? If your economy is real estate,
[01:08:54] that's London's other big economic
[01:08:56] >> center, is buying and selling and
[01:08:58] leasing pieces of property again and
[01:09:00] again to different people.
[01:09:02] >> Nothing's being created.
[01:09:04] >> But that's not true. That's not true. We
[01:09:06] are creating things here. A lot of
[01:09:07] things
[01:09:07] >> like what?
[01:09:08] >> There's a lot of money.
[01:09:08] >> Bara. Okay. Yeah, there's a lot of
[01:09:10] course there's a lot of money because
[01:09:11] people around the world stash their
[01:09:13] money here because it's a system based
[01:09:15] on there's a lot of manufacturing. Not
[01:09:17] as much as there was 80 years ago.
[01:09:19] >> How much is in London, man? your biggest
[01:09:21] city, the
[01:09:21] >> I don't know the percentages, so we'd
[01:09:23] have to check.
[01:09:24] >> Pretty much unless you're talking about
[01:09:26] like burritos being manufactured or
[01:09:29] whatever. I I don't think there's really
[01:09:30] any.
[01:09:31] >> The bigger problem for us is not what
[01:09:33] economy we're doing. It's how we manage
[01:09:35] the economy.
[01:09:36] >> So, it doesn't matter where the money
[01:09:37] comes from.
[01:09:37] >> No, it does. But successive governments
[01:09:39] have dragged us to a place where we have
[01:09:41] almost zero growth. Without growth, you
[01:09:43] can't have a successful thriving
[01:09:45] country.
[01:09:45] >> That's not true. Have you been to Japan?
[01:09:47] It's like the most successful thriving
[01:09:48] country in the world. that has had no
[01:09:50] growth for a long not real growth. And
[01:09:52] we've gotten these lectures from the
[01:09:53] bankers for like 30 years. Japan is
[01:09:55] dying. You ever go to Japan? You get
[01:09:57] there four-year-old girls in the subway
[01:09:58] alone. There's not one speck of litter
[01:10:00] in all of Tokyo. And it's one of the
[01:10:02] biggest cities in the world. 12 million.
[01:10:04] It's an incredible society. It's the
[01:10:06] opposite of New York, London,
[01:10:09] >> Baltimore, Detroit. It's incred. I know
[01:10:12] you've been there and I know you've had
[01:10:13] these naughty forbidden thoughts like,
[01:10:14] "Wait a second. I thought we dropped a
[01:10:16] bomb on them. How are they so great?"
[01:10:17] >> No, no, no. I like I like going to
[01:10:19] Tokyo, but
[01:10:19] >> no growth. How'd they do that with no
[01:10:21] growth? I was assured by libertarian
[01:10:23] ECONOMICS IF WE HAD NO GROWTH THINGS
[01:10:24] WOULD BE BAD. WELL, LOOK AT THIS.
[01:10:25] >> I LIKE going to Japan, but I wouldn't
[01:10:27] swap it for London,
[01:10:29] >> right? Fair. You're you're English.
[01:10:31] That's kind of the point, right? This is
[01:10:32] your homeland.
[01:10:33] >> I genuinely do love London.
[01:10:35] >> No, I bet you do.
[01:10:35] >> When I lived in America full-time, I
[01:10:37] really missed a lot of the
[01:10:38] >> I hope so. This is where your ancestors
[01:10:40] are from. I get it. That's the whole
[01:10:42] point. That's the whole argument I'm
[01:10:43] making. It matters where you're from.
[01:10:45] The culture really matters. It's not
[01:10:47] about growth. It's not about any of this
[01:10:49] crap. It's about do I am I on the same
[01:10:51] page with my neighbor? Do we have
[01:10:52] something in common? Do we have the same
[01:10:54] gut instincts about things? Those are
[01:10:55] the most important questions there are.
[01:10:57] >> But economic prosperity raises all the
[01:10:59] ships.
[01:11:00] >> Is that has that been true here?
[01:11:01] >> It should be true.
[01:11:02] >> Is there more poverty in London now than
[01:11:04] there was 40 years ago?
[01:11:05] >> There's more child poverty.
[01:11:07] >> Yes, I know.
[01:11:08] >> In fact, the child poverty rate is worse
[01:11:09] here than it is in America.
[01:11:11] >> A lot worse.
[01:11:12] >> The general poverty rate.
[01:11:13] >> So, how is this so great? Even though
[01:11:14] they have
[01:11:15] >> child poverty rate is actually uh lower
[01:11:17] than it is in America, but child poverty
[01:11:19] specifically.
[01:11:20] >> Is there anything that matters other
[01:11:21] than child poverty? I mean, not really.
[01:11:24] So,
[01:11:24] >> I agree.
[01:11:25] >> Look, I'm not slagging on I love your
[01:11:27] country. I really thought a lot about
[01:11:28] this since I was so mean.
[01:11:31] >> During that conversation, I was just
[01:11:33] wounded because I feel like the
[01:11:35] destruction of Britain has effects on
[01:11:38] our entire Anglo civilization.
[01:11:40] >> Did you actually look out and see a
[01:11:41] destroyed country?
[01:11:42] >> No, this is beautiful. I mean, this is
[01:11:44] again, this is the rich part of town.
[01:11:46] >> I could take you I could take you to
[01:11:47] Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow,
[01:11:50] Cardiff. I could take you to
[01:11:51] >> How they doing?
[01:11:52] >> They're all doing great. Much better
[01:11:54] than you think. Honestly, Tucker, you'll
[01:11:56] walk around. You'll see the pubs packed,
[01:11:58] the restaurants packed, the theat's
[01:11:59] packed. You'll see people having a great
[01:12:01] time. Go out on a Friday night in
[01:12:02] London. Go to go to the Devonshire in
[01:12:05] Soho, the best Irish pub in town. Four
[01:12:08] deep in the streets. Everyone having a
[01:12:09] great time.
[01:12:11] 20,000 pints of Guinness being sold
[01:12:13] every week.
[01:12:14] >> I could say that there are so many
[01:12:16] things about London I really like. I've
[01:12:18] been here 3 days again visiting
[01:12:19] relatives who
[01:12:20] >> genuinely feel threatened walking
[01:12:22] around.
[01:12:22] >> No, not at all. AGAIN, WHAT'S WHO'S
[01:12:24] going to do anything? Pakistanis are all
[01:12:26] super nice to me and the whites are all
[01:12:28] kind of craving and sad. No, you're
[01:12:30] totally safe here, man. It's not that at
[01:12:33] all. It's just that it's dirty.
[01:12:35] >> It's what?
[01:12:36] >> It's dirty.
[01:12:37] >> Oh, come on. American cities aren't any
[01:12:39] cleaner than London. They're dirtier.
[01:12:40] They're dirtier. And it's one of the
[01:12:42] great tragedies. And I can't get anyone
[01:12:44] to care.
[01:12:45] >> Nobody cares any.
[01:12:47] >> So that to me, if I went to your bedroom
[01:12:50] right now, I
[01:12:50] >> Sorry.
[01:12:51] >> I'm not going. I'm not going. Especially
[01:12:52] after the whole [ __ ] thing. It's like
[01:12:54] I'm uncomfortable. I get it. I get it. I
[01:12:56] get it. And you said you were so
[01:12:57] liberal. But um but if I went to your
[01:12:59] house unannounced, I bet I would find it
[01:13:01] tidy and clean.
[01:13:02] >> And I bet I would find that not just
[01:13:03] because you have a housekeeper. I don't
[01:13:04] even know if you do, but because you
[01:13:05] care. Because you have self-respect.
[01:13:07] >> That's why you shave. But I agree with
[01:13:09] that point. I think the self-respect
[01:13:11] part, I totally agree with you. We've
[01:13:12] lost that. We've lost the I think the
[01:13:14] British.
[01:13:15] >> We're legendary for our politeness, our
[01:13:17] manners, our calm that has gone. We've
[01:13:20] really
[01:13:20] >> That's everything.
[01:13:21] >> No, but I totally agree with you. So
[01:13:23] when you talk about the cultural stuff
[01:13:24] that I really regret that has gone out
[01:13:26] of fashion, if you like, it is things
[01:13:28] like that. It's things like, you know, a
[01:13:30] British person used to speak well and
[01:13:32] open doors for women and things like
[01:13:34] that. Now that's frowned upon, right?
[01:13:36] They're kind of screaming. Radical
[01:13:37] feminists have made it almost a taboo
[01:13:39] thing. Young men in particular do not
[01:13:41] know how to behave. When I'm out with
[01:13:43] them, I notice they don't stand up when
[01:13:45] women walk into a room or to a table.
[01:13:47] They don't open doors for women and
[01:13:48] stuff because they've been conditioned
[01:13:49] to think this might be toxic masculinity
[01:13:51] and all this [ __ ] That kind of
[01:13:53] stuff really worries me.
[01:13:55] >> Do you ever wonder where it comes from?
[01:13:57] >> Um cuz I know the answer, but I'm going
[01:13:59] to let
[01:13:59] >> Well, you're going to say it's
[01:14:00] multiculturalism, but a lot of the other
[01:14:02] cultures that have come here actually
[01:14:04] have far more politeness. I agree. I
[01:14:06] agree completely.
[01:14:07] >> So that's the Yeah,
[01:14:08] >> that's exactly my point is that the cost
[01:14:11] >> is to the invaded.
[01:14:13] >> You're being invaded. You already said
[01:14:14] they're both showing up uninvited.
[01:14:16] That's called an invasion. It's happened
[01:14:18] a lot through history.
[01:14:19] >> And it's the people who are conquered,
[01:14:22] who are vanquished, who suffer. The
[01:14:23] immigrants all seem kind of happy. It's
[01:14:25] better than Bangalore, you know, or
[01:14:26] wherever.
[01:14:27] >> You don't feel conquered.
[01:14:28] >> Well, you but you are though. I mean, if
[01:14:30] people are showing up in boats in your
[01:14:31] country, know I don't know what to do
[01:14:33] about them. Well, how about sink them?
[01:14:35] What? Just put
[01:14:36] >> to put it in to put it in perspective.
[01:14:38] >> Lord Nelson would put
[01:14:39] >> put it in perspective. In the last 5
[01:14:41] years, we've had about 200,000 people
[01:14:43] come over our southern border. In the
[01:14:45] last 5 years in America, until Donald
[01:14:47] Trump got a grip of it, you had
[01:14:49] apparently 10 million come over the
[01:14:51] southern border.
[01:14:51] >> Oh, more.
[01:14:52] >> Right. So, I'm afraid there is no
[01:14:54] comparison. We have a little problem.
[01:14:56] You had a gigantic problem.
[01:14:58] >> Let Let me add an amen. as we say in the
[01:15:00] black church that I totally agree and
[01:15:02] that's why Britain is so interesting
[01:15:04] because for two reasons. One, the people
[01:15:06] who are being invaded and replaced are
[01:15:09] the native population. They're the
[01:15:11] Irakcoy of the British Isles. They've
[01:15:13] been here forever. Their ancestors bones
[01:15:15] are at Stonehenge. There's no debate
[01:15:16] about that, though. They pretend
[01:15:18] otherwise, but that's just a fact. So
[01:15:19] eliminating indigenous populations is
[01:15:21] like kind of a sin, I thought, but it's
[01:15:23] happening here and in Ireland and in
[01:15:24] Scotland and in Wales.
[01:15:26] A B
[01:15:27] >> Hang on, they're not being eliminated.
[01:15:29] Of course they are. Look at the birth
[01:15:30] rates. What are their birth rates?
[01:15:32] >> That's not an elimination.
[01:15:33] >> Of course it is. Over time it is.
[01:15:35] >> But that is people taking a decision
[01:15:36] about their own lives and not having
[01:15:37] enough children or as many as they used
[01:15:39] to have.
[01:15:40] >> Well elimination.
[01:15:43] No one's forcing them. No.
[01:15:44] >> No one's telling the white population of
[01:15:46] this country you can't have more than
[01:15:48] one child.
[01:15:48] >> Well, that's kind of the point that I'm
[01:15:49] making.
[01:15:50] >> No, they're not the
[01:15:52] >> Well, whatever they're doing, I mean,
[01:15:53] they're they're certainly encou they're
[01:15:55] aggressive. They're aggressively
[01:15:58] encouraging homosexuality. Use the f
[01:16:00] word and you go to jail. No. WHAT? WHAT
[01:16:02] IS THAT?
[01:16:03] >> YOU CAN'T. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO'S IN
[01:16:04] CHARGE, WHO CAN'T YOU CRITICIZE? You
[01:16:05] can't USE THE WORD [ __ ]
[01:16:07] >> NO one's aggressively encouraging
[01:16:08] homosexual in jail FOR USING A NAUGHTY
[01:16:11] WORD ABOUT GAYS. DUDE, THEY'RE not
[01:16:12] encouraging IT. WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT
[01:16:13] IS?
[01:16:14] >> What's wrong with homosexuality?
[01:16:17] >> Well, if you encourage it and the rate
[01:16:20] goes up, people have fewer kids. I don't
[01:16:22] know. You did you do biology? So, just
[01:16:24] to be clear, most gay people don't have
[01:16:26] kids.
[01:16:27] >> That's the point I'm making. They don't.
[01:16:28] >> So, if all of a sudden you have more
[01:16:30] people being gay, which you do a lot.
[01:16:33] >> No, you don't. People don't pretend to
[01:16:35] be gay.
[01:16:35] >> Do you have the internet?
[01:16:36] >> Huh?
[01:16:37] >> I don't know. I'm not saying they're
[01:16:38] pretending. I'm saying you've got way
[01:16:40] more.
[01:16:40] >> Yeah. You're gay, right?
[01:16:42] >> Well, you know, we used to say that, but
[01:16:44] >> You don't think so?
[01:16:45] >> Well, I used to think that, but all of a
[01:16:47] sudden you're
[01:16:48] >> getting lots of people putting their
[01:16:49] hand up saying they're trans. That's a
[01:16:50] different issue.
[01:16:51] >> Oh, IT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT. IT'S NOT
[01:16:52] PART OF the continuum. It's not like
[01:16:54] gender isn't real. I can pretend
[01:16:58] >> it's if you're gay, you're gay.
[01:17:00] >> Well, you know, we were told that and I
[01:17:02] believed a lot of things.
[01:17:03] >> Do you not believe that?
[01:17:03] >> Well, it's it's demonstrabably not true
[01:17:05] because science tells us that.
[01:17:06] >> You think people are making it up?
[01:17:07] >> I don't think they're making it up at
[01:17:08] all. So,
[01:17:09] >> what's your point?
[01:17:09] >> I think that you can be moved in that
[01:17:12] direction through propaganda and
[01:17:13] pornography.
[01:17:14] >> Oh, come on, Vic Tucker.
[01:17:15] >> Well, then then how do you explain?
[01:17:17] >> Is there anything that would make Could
[01:17:19] I make you gay?
[01:17:21] How hard do you want to try?
[01:17:23] >> Not hard. I can tell you.
[01:17:24] >> That's the spirit, Pierce. There's a
[01:17:26] limit. EVEN AN OPEN-MINDED MAN LIKE YOU,
[01:17:28] YOU KIND OF HATE THE GAYS. I MAKE YOU I
[01:17:29] MAKE A LITTLE GAY JOKE AND YOU'RE LIKE,
[01:17:30] "OH, I'M NOT GOING TO BE GAY." OH, NO.
[01:17:33] >> WHY ARE you using a gay slur? That's
[01:17:34] fine. It
[01:17:36] >> Well, first of all, it the context
[01:17:37] matters. I, as I've told you, I mean,
[01:17:39] that's like coffee table conversation
[01:17:41] between the gays. I work with that fox
[01:17:43] [ __ ]
[01:17:44] >> So, if it's okay with them, it's okay
[01:17:46] with me. It's just it it's sort of like
[01:17:47] it's sort of like racism. Only the white
[01:17:50] think people can be persuaded to be gay.
[01:17:52] >> Well, then why don't you explain the
[01:17:55] two-fold or three-fold increase in
[01:17:57] self-identified homosexuals in the
[01:17:58] United States?
[01:17:59] >> I can. They used to be repressed. It
[01:18:00] used to be illegal in this country until
[01:18:01] the mid-60s. You literally went to jail.
[01:18:04] So, all through Hang on, hang on. You
[01:18:05] literally were put in a prison cell if
[01:18:08] you were openly [ __ ]
[01:18:09] >> That was more here actually. You guys
[01:18:10] did Oscar Wild. We didn't. But you also
[01:18:13] absolutely shocking.
[01:18:14] >> Yeah, it was terrible. you you ruled the
[01:18:15] world um at the time and now you're a
[01:18:17] joke dependent on four known banks
[01:18:20] because everyone's gay so it's like a
[01:18:21] great trade
[01:18:21] >> allowing so allowing allowing gay people
[01:18:23] to be openly gay is is why we recommend
[01:18:26] >> blocking masculinity is the fastest ways
[01:18:30] to servitude
[01:18:32] any Pakistani that's why I like the
[01:18:33] Pakistan you talk to a Pakistani cab
[01:18:35] driver and you're like why are you gay
[01:18:37] and they will start laughing because
[01:18:38] they've watched the video and they're
[01:18:39] like I'm not gay I'm a man
[01:18:42] ask a single Britain why are you gay
[01:18:43] they like well I'm gay, but it would be
[01:18:45] okay if I was.
[01:18:46] >> And it's like there's no masculine
[01:18:48] self-respect at all.
[01:18:50] >> You're sounding quite homophobic.
[01:18:52] >> I'm not afraid of gays at all. I'm just
[01:18:54] asking actually.
[01:18:55] >> You don't even We don't actually think
[01:18:56] they really exist by the sound of it.
[01:18:58] >> Well, they exist.
[01:18:59] >> No, but are they real? Do is their
[01:19:00] sexuality genuinely sleeping with dudes?
[01:19:03] >> Are they well and women? Are they
[01:19:05] attracted to members of the
[01:19:07] >> dude? The lesbian thing is way
[01:19:08] overblown.
[01:19:08] >> Actually, there are a lot of lesbians.
[01:19:10] >> How many?
[01:19:11] I haven't counted recently this
[01:19:13] conversation.
[01:19:14] >> Not recently.
[01:19:14] >> This is so great. You're going to get so
[01:19:16] [ __ ] arrested after this. It's going
[01:19:17] to be unbelievable.
[01:19:18] >> No one's arresting me.
[01:19:19] >> Okay.
[01:19:20] >> No one's arresting me, but I'm just
[01:19:22] curious whether you think that gay
[01:19:23] people let me let me let me
[01:19:25] >> actually are gay or whether you think
[01:19:26] they've been somehow turned.
[01:19:27] >> Well, for the third time, I think it's
[01:19:29] completely sincere,
[01:19:30] >> right?
[01:19:30] >> Completely sincere. The question, not
[01:19:32] saying you have a problem with it. I'm
[01:19:34] merely saying you get fewer children
[01:19:37] when more people are gay.
[01:19:38] >> You don't.
[01:19:39] >> Well, actually, you do. People aren't
[01:19:41] gay. Just more people are gay. Wait,
[01:19:44] hold on. You don't get fewer people.
[01:19:46] Stop. Okay. Was it like 30% of the
[01:19:48] population always like in Roman times?
[01:19:50] About 30%, would you say?
[01:19:52] >> I'm just saying.
[01:19:53] >> No, it was like this is
[01:19:54] >> the falling birth rates have nothing to
[01:19:56] do with
[01:19:56] >> If you have more if you have more gays,
[01:20:00] >> do you have fewer children?
[01:20:01] >> We don't have more gays. We have way
[01:20:04] more gays.
[01:20:04] >> No. No. We have more people who are not
[01:20:06] afraid to say they're gay.
[01:20:08] >> They're letting their freak flag fly.
[01:20:09] They are actually gay, Tucker. They just
[01:20:12] haven't been able to admit it.
[01:20:14] >> So why isn't that the case like in Asia?
[01:20:17] >> What do you mean?
[01:20:18] >> I don't think there's no Asian country
[01:20:20] and they're not all like putting gays in
[01:20:22] jail. Malaysia might be. Korea's not.
[01:20:25] South Korea. Why? Why is their
[01:20:27] self-described homosexuality rate so
[01:20:29] much lower than yours? Japan, same.
[01:20:31] >> Because culturally it is not a thing.
[01:20:34] >> So it's genetic. You think it's genetic?
[01:20:35] >> No, it's cultural.
[01:20:36] >> No. No. People become gay. the last
[01:20:38] World Cup. How do you become gay?
[01:20:40] >> Let me give you the World Cup is coming.
[01:20:42] The World
[01:20:42] >> Talk about soccer.
[01:20:43] >> I'M I'M TELLING YOU WHY.
[01:20:44] >> TALK ABOUT THE GAY THING.
[01:20:45] >> I'm telling you why.
[01:20:46] >> How do they become gay? WHY ARE YOU GAY?
[01:20:48] >> ONE IN four countries in the last World
[01:20:50] Cup actually uh outlaw being homosexual.
[01:20:54] It's criminal offense. Do you think
[01:20:55] that's right?
[01:20:56] >> I don't care.
[01:20:57] >> We should care.
[01:20:58] >> Okay. I really care.
[01:20:59] >> You've had people arrested for using the
[01:21:01] word [ __ ] That's who I feel sorry
[01:21:02] for. This chick from Britain.
[01:21:03] >> So, do so. Right. So, you feel very
[01:21:05] exercised about that. She's in Great
[01:21:07] Britain. She's not in some primitive
[01:21:09] theocracy.
[01:21:09] >> Are you not as exercised about people
[01:21:11] being arrested and putting a prison cell
[01:21:12] for their sexuality if they're gay?
[01:21:16] >> Why do you feel as angry about that?
[01:21:17] >> Cuz it's not my culture. It's not my
[01:21:19] country. It's not.
[01:21:20] >> Come on.
[01:21:21] >> Why don't I'm not for arresting any I'm
[01:21:23] for arresting very few.
[01:21:24] >> You think people should be arrested for
[01:21:25] their sexuality?
[01:21:25] >> OF COURSE NOT.
[01:21:26] >> WHY DO YOU AGREE with me?
[01:21:28] >> You're talk about Okay. I will not as a
[01:21:30] also a talk show host. You're not going
[01:21:32] to get me off my path. And my path leads
[01:21:34] to this question. How do people become
[01:21:38] gay? Why
[01:21:39] >> they don't become gay?
[01:21:41] >> Why are they born gay?
[01:21:42] >> Yes.
[01:21:43] >> How does that work?
[01:21:45] >> They're born gay.
[01:21:46] >> How?
[01:21:47] >> They have a sexual attraction. I
[01:21:49] understand the manifestations. The
[01:21:50] symptoms.
[01:21:51] >> The symptoms.
[01:21:52] >> Yeah. The symptoms. The symptoms. The
[01:21:53] symptoms of my
[01:21:54] >> They're born gay.
[01:21:56] >> Okay. So, that means it's
[01:21:57] >> You may not want to. No. No. That means
[01:21:59] that.
[01:21:59] >> No. I'm I'm just asking how it works.
[01:22:01] So, there's a gay gene.
[01:22:02] >> You said you worked with lots of gay.
[01:22:04] >> Hold on. Hold on. There's a gay view.
[01:22:05] >> You had this conversation with actual
[01:22:07] gay people.
[01:22:07] >> Yeah. A lot of them say, "I got
[01:22:08] molested. That's why I'm gay." In fact,
[01:22:10] a really good friend of mine who's gay.
[01:22:11] So, I got molested. That's why I'm gay.
[01:22:13] >> All gay people are gay because they got
[01:22:14] molested.
[01:22:14] >> No, I don't think that,
[01:22:15] >> but I am wondering. I don't know the
[01:22:17] answer,
[01:22:18] >> but I was
[01:22:19] >> I would say the absolute majority of gay
[01:22:21] people are gay because they are actually
[01:22:24] attracted to members of their own sex.
[01:22:26] >> No, no, but again, that's a manif
[01:22:29] thing.
[01:22:29] >> You're not. Let's Let's just do science
[01:22:30] for 30 seconds. Of course, you're right.
[01:22:33] That's the definition of gay. I'm
[01:22:34] attracted to someone of my of my same
[01:22:36] sex.
[01:22:36] >> Believe that.
[01:22:37] >> Do I believe that they're attracted to
[01:22:38] people from their own sex?
[01:22:39] >> Yes.
[01:22:39] >> Well, obviously they have sex with them.
[01:22:40] So that's what attract.
[01:22:41] >> So what's the big deal? Why do you care?
[01:22:43] >> My question because the self reported
[01:22:47] incidence of it has risen. So we were
[01:22:49] told 30 years ago and I I have a good
[01:22:51] memory. It's about 10%. But the actual
[01:22:53] self
[01:22:53] >> because people were being mer listen
[01:22:56] listen then but the self-report rate was
[01:22:58] like 5% then it's 10% now it's like 30%.
[01:23:00] >> So my question is were they all born
[01:23:02] that way? 30% of a population is born
[01:23:06] homosexual. As an evolutionary matter,
[01:23:08] you tell me how that works. How do you
[01:23:10] reproduce?
[01:23:10] >> It's not 30% of the population
[01:23:12] >> in the United States. In a lot of
[01:23:12] places, it is 30%.
[01:23:14] >> IT'S NOT 30%.
[01:23:16] >> WAY HIGHER HERE BASED ON THE VIBE.
[01:23:18] >> What is way higher is the number of
[01:23:19] people compared to where does it come
[01:23:21] from? 30 years ago.
[01:23:22] >> Is it genetic? And where's the gene?
[01:23:24] >> 30 years ago, gay people were
[01:23:25] persecuted.
[01:23:26] >> I know. I've heard the story. WE WERE
[01:23:28] COMMEMORATING STONEWALL THE OTHER DAY AT
[01:23:29] MY HOUSE. You know, I'm on board with
[01:23:31] all of this stuff. Yeah, the candle
[01:23:33] light vigil. We always do it every year.
[01:23:34] Every February 9th, we I arrest my kids
[01:23:37] in this kind of mock Stonewall thing.
[01:23:39] >> What do you do if one of your kids
[01:23:40] >> THEY SAY, "I JUST WANT TO BE FREE." AND
[01:23:42] THEN I UNLOCK THE HANGERS.
[01:23:43] >> WHAT HAPPENS if one of What happens if
[01:23:44] one of your kids says they're gay?
[01:23:46] >> I love my kids no matter what. I love my
[01:23:47] kids no matter what they do. They're my
[01:23:50] children.
[01:23:50] >> Would you think someone had turned them
[01:23:51] into a gay person or would you accept
[01:23:53] them as
[01:23:54] >> I'm a journalist, so I actually want to
[01:23:55] know what the real answer is, not the
[01:23:56] [ __ ] propaganda answer.
[01:23:58] >> What would you say to them?
[01:23:59] >> I I don't know. That's why I'm asking
[01:24:01] you. You say people are born gay what
[01:24:03] you would do.
[01:24:03] >> You don't want TO ANSWER BECAUSE YOU
[01:24:04] don't have an answer because YOU KNOW
[01:24:06] YOUR ANSWER IS MY [ __ ]
[01:24:07] >> NO, MY ANSWER IS CORRECT
[01:24:08] >> THAT THEY'RE BORN THAT way and they're
[01:24:09] born gay.
[01:24:10] >> Then is there a gene for it? And you
[01:24:12] know there isn't. So tell me a gene.
[01:24:15] It's it it it's the code that determines
[01:24:18] your physical and emotional
[01:24:20] characteristics. You have blue eyes
[01:24:21] because you have a gene for blue eyes.
[01:24:24] >> If someone is gay, then there should be
[01:24:26] a gene that we can isolate and say it's
[01:24:27] the gay gene. And science has been
[01:24:28] looking for the gay gene for a long
[01:24:30] time. And my question is, where is it?
[01:24:31] I'm waiting on my gay gene. I ordered a
[01:24:33] gay gene and IT HASN'T ARRIVED. WAIT,
[01:24:35] WHERE'S MY GAY GENE?
[01:24:36] >> Doesn't mean like you might be.
[01:24:38] >> Yeah, I'm waiting for my gay gene. And
[01:24:39] if there isn't a gay gene, then it's
[01:24:41] totally within bound. It's not
[01:24:42] homophobia. It's not hate. I don't want
[01:24:44] to arrest people in Liberia or whatever
[01:24:46] the hell you're talking about.
[01:24:48] >> I just want to know what is this? And no
[01:24:50] one will answer the question. And I
[01:24:52] don't know why. It's weird, right? Why
[01:24:54] can't we have a non-emotional
[01:24:55] conversation with why are you gay? as
[01:24:58] they say in Nigeria. Why are you gay?
[01:25:00] And no one will answer it.
[01:25:01] >> Well, in Nigeria, it's a criminal
[01:25:02] offense to be gay. I
[01:25:03] >> I don't know.
[01:25:04] >> You think there aren't gay people in
[01:25:05] Nigeria? I haven't been there in a
[01:25:07] while.
[01:25:07] >> Of course there are gay people in
[01:25:08] Nigeria.
[01:25:09] >> Where does it come from? And you can't
[01:25:10] answer the question.
[01:25:11] >> But if they admit they're gay, they get
[01:25:12] put in prison.
[01:25:14] >> That can't be right. Right. You're a
[01:25:15] guy.
[01:25:17] >> Putting someone in prison because he
[01:25:18] says he's gay. Of course, I'm against
[01:25:19] that. I mean, please.
[01:25:20] >> Not because he says he's gay. To an
[01:25:22] extreme third world.
[01:25:24] >> You guys don't bring Nigerians here, do
[01:25:26] you? There were a lot of Nigerians here.
[01:25:28] >> What?
[01:25:29] >> You import gay haters into your country?
[01:25:31] I thought you were for the gays.
[01:25:33] >> NO, I'M SERIOUS. WHY WOULD YOU IMPORT?
[01:25:35] You're just telling me that the
[01:25:36] Nigerians are bad and you said you
[01:25:37] basically hate Nigerian.
[01:25:38] >> As you know, Tucker, there are lots of
[01:25:39] countries around the world with
[01:25:40] different laws to hear different
[01:25:42] >> But why would you import them if you
[01:25:43] love the game? Why would you import
[01:25:45] people?
[01:25:45] >> Because when they come here, they have
[01:25:47] to abide by our laws. That's how it
[01:25:49] works.
[01:25:49] >> And your values. So, what are those
[01:25:50] values?
[01:25:51] >> No, actually, you don't have to come
[01:25:52] here with our values. Oh,
[01:25:54] >> you have to come here and abide by our
[01:25:55] laws
[01:25:57] >> and your laws include not using the word
[01:25:59] [ __ ] That's against the law.
[01:26:00] >> I just think why would you do that and
[01:26:02] just be offensive for the sake of it?
[01:26:03] >> I I totally agree with you. I never use
[01:26:05] that word. I'm just being honest. I
[01:26:06] never use that word ever.
[01:26:08] >> I think it's maybe the first time I used
[01:26:09] it since the 80s.
[01:26:10] >> But it's not a matter of custom. It's a
[01:26:12] matter of law because this woman, mother
[01:26:14] of four, w in prison for it.
[01:26:17] >> So if that's going to be the law,
[01:26:20] >> it's obviously like the most import. so
[01:26:21] important to you that people not insult
[01:26:23] gays in any way. You can insult
[01:26:25] straights.
[01:26:25] >> You can insult gays as much as you like.
[01:26:27] >> Well, no, you can't. You get arrested.
[01:26:29] You
[01:26:29] >> I don't know that story. I'm going to
[01:26:30] look into it. But as I said to you, I'm
[01:26:32] going to hand it to you right here. Here
[01:26:33] it is.
[01:26:34] >> I don't think people should be arrested
[01:26:35] for using words like that. I agree.
[01:26:37] >> There should be social disapproval.
[01:26:38] >> You should be allowed to be hateful
[01:26:40] under freedom of speech.
[01:26:42] >> I totally agree.
[01:26:42] >> You know, if you're not actually
[01:26:43] inciting violence against people, which
[01:26:46] is a different thing.
[01:26:47] >> We should agree. If you if I say go and
[01:26:49] stab Tucker Carlson and he's staying at
[01:26:51] this hotel right now, it's a criminal
[01:26:53] offense. There's already a law and
[01:26:54] statute in both our countries for that.
[01:26:56] >> So, I can tell that we were both born in
[01:26:57] the 1960s cuz we totally agree on the
[01:26:59] underlying human right, which is the
[01:27:02] core human right, which is the right to
[01:27:04] conscience and self-exression. And both
[01:27:06] of us are on exactly the same page.
[01:27:07] Where I lose you is your whole world is
[01:27:10] crumbling around you. I'm worried that's
[01:27:12] going to happen in my country, which is
[01:27:13] why I'm hassling you.
[01:27:14] >> My whole world's great. In fact, it
[01:27:16] couldn't be better. The restaurants are
[01:27:17] better. I totally get it. That's what
[01:27:18] matters.
[01:27:19] >> If I'd known you in town yesterday, I'd
[01:27:20] have taken you to the Emirates Stadium
[01:27:22] to watch my football team Arsenal beat
[01:27:24] our North London rival. It was the most
[01:27:26] joyous, magnificent experience
[01:27:29] imaginable. You would have seen a
[01:27:31] multicultural crowd roaring as one.
[01:27:36] Jews, Muslims, white, black, gay,
[01:27:40] straight, all joined as one as Arsenal
[01:27:43] fans. It's what the church used to be
[01:27:44] except they charge you admission. I get
[01:27:46] it. I know what bread and
[01:27:47] >> circus actually the church used to
[01:27:49] charge you admission in the old uh
[01:27:52] >> we we had Martin Luther for that and we
[01:27:53] were trying to fix that and Henry VII
[01:27:55] played along. So God bless you for that.
[01:27:56] But here's the point.
[01:27:59] >> No, but here's my point. If I took you
[01:28:00] to the Devonshire for a pint of
[01:28:02] Guinness, you'd love it. If I took you
[01:28:03] to Arsenal to a massive multiculture
[01:28:06] fans, you'd love it. 60,000 people, no
[01:28:09] trouble, no aggravation.
[01:28:10] >> I'm here voluntarily. I love it. I just
[01:28:12] don't want it to evaporate into
[01:28:14] >> It's not evaporating.
[01:28:15] >> Okay.
[01:28:16] >> Why aren't you more panicked that
[01:28:18] thousands of people thousands
[01:28:21] >> by their own admission, the admission of
[01:28:22] the of the British government arrested
[01:28:24] every year for saying words, not
[01:28:26] threats. Words.
[01:28:27] >> I am. I've expressed my
[01:28:28] >> So why doesn't someone try to overthrow
[01:28:29] the government? I don't understand. How
[01:28:31] can they treat you like slaves?
[01:28:32] >> They carry on down that road.
[01:28:33] >> Well, they are carrying it out. It's
[01:28:34] thousands a year and it's getting more
[01:28:36] >> and they will be voted out of office. I
[01:28:38] see him. Yes.
[01:28:39] >> That's how
[01:28:40] >> is that what Winston Churchill would
[01:28:41] say? I think Winston Churchill said,
[01:28:42] "Even if a strong man tries to take
[01:28:45] Poland, a country we've got nothing to
[01:28:46] do with, not even close to here, we're
[01:28:48] going to risk the lives of our citizens
[01:28:51] to liberate Poland."
[01:28:53] >> Poland is closer to here than your home
[01:28:55] is to New York.
[01:28:56] >> Yes, that's true. That's true.
[01:28:57] >> So, it's all relative. So, if
[01:28:59] >> Well, it's a tiny little Lego Europe. I
[01:29:01] get it.
[01:29:01] >> If Maine got attacked, would you expect
[01:29:02] people in New York?
[01:29:03] >> Poland has nothing to do with
[01:29:04] >> Maine got attacked, would you expect
[01:29:06] people in New York to help you?
[01:29:07] >> It's the same country. Okay, but you're
[01:29:10] actually
[01:29:10] >> kind of a big distinction. My country is
[01:29:13] quite large.
[01:29:13] >> We were part of Europe, the same
[01:29:15] continent.
[01:29:15] >> We were not part of I call [ __ ] on
[01:29:18] that. In 1940, you were not part of
[01:29:20] Europe.
[01:29:20] >> You don't think Well, of course, we're
[01:29:21] on definitely not part of the continent
[01:29:23] of Europe.
[01:29:24] >> You are not on the continent if you're
[01:29:25] an island, dude. Off the continent,
[01:29:27] separated by a body of water. Do you
[01:29:30] know what it's called between you and
[01:29:31] France? It's called the English Channel.
[01:29:32] You are not part of Europe. That is not
[01:29:34] true. My ancestors lived here. You were
[01:29:36] not You were England. part of Europe.
[01:29:38] >> France was considered exotic and crazy.
[01:29:40] That's where the prostitutes and the
[01:29:41] cheese eaters lived. It's only the
[01:29:43] brainwashing of Tony Blair and all these
[01:29:45] technocrats since have convinced you
[01:29:46] European. You're way better than
[01:29:48] European. You're an ancient Germanic
[01:29:51] Celtic people who ruled the world. Do
[01:29:53] you remember that in your wooden ships?
[01:29:55] Anyway, but the point is
[01:29:58] >> the point
[01:30:00] serious
[01:30:02] some crap sometimes. Anyways, it's
[01:30:05] totally come on
[01:30:06] >> with the mask from Maine, White Pines.
[01:30:08] But the point is,
[01:30:10] >> your country went to war to preserve
[01:30:13] human rights in another country you had
[01:30:15] nothing to do with, but human rights are
[01:30:17] evaporating in your own country and it's
[01:30:19] cool because you have soccer games with
[01:30:21] foreigners at them and good barata. And
[01:30:23] I'm just saying maybe something about
[01:30:25] the heroic British spirit has been
[01:30:27] diminished with time. That's all I'm
[01:30:28] saying. But there is a very lovely
[01:30:29] quaint notion being built up in the
[01:30:31] United States driven by people like
[01:30:33] Tommy Robinson here.
[01:30:34] >> Who's Tommy Robinson?
[01:30:35] >> You know Tommy Robinson?
[01:30:36] >> He seems like a fraud to me.
[01:30:37] >> Well, he's not even Tommy Robinson. His
[01:30:39] name's Steven Yaxley. It's not even his
[01:30:41] real name. He's also convicted of
[01:30:43] multiple crimes, thuggery, fraud.
[01:30:46] >> I don't even know anything about him,
[01:30:47] but he doesn't seem like he's that
[01:30:48] >> into we would call him a little [ __ ]
[01:30:51] stirer, right? However, yes,
[01:30:52] >> but the real people here, the actual
[01:30:54] Britain,
[01:30:55] >> this idea that that he's driven that
[01:30:57] we're on the verge of some sort of civil
[01:30:58] war here. Do you feel that when you walk
[01:31:00] around?
[01:31:00] >> No, because that's my POINT. YOU'RE SO
[01:31:02] PASSIVE. THEY take your human rights
[01:31:04] away and you're like, "Oh, defending
[01:31:06] Ukraine is so important. We're so proud
[01:31:07] to have defended Poland's territorial
[01:31:09] integrity 80 years ago." It's like,
[01:31:11] great. I'm so glad.
[01:31:12] >> I'm very proud of that. I apparently,
[01:31:14] but it's all a kind of displacement
[01:31:16] where you're taking your own
[01:31:17] frustrations with yourselves and your
[01:31:19] own cowardice and sort of living in this
[01:31:21] Walter Midi world. We're like, "No,
[01:31:23] actually, we're brave. We're going to
[01:31:24] defend Ukraine." It's like, "What about
[01:31:25] defend yourselves against the monsters
[01:31:28] defending Ukraine?"
[01:31:30] >> It's like eighth on the list. Defend
[01:31:32] yourself. Defend your human rights. They
[01:31:34] can't put you in jail for saying naughty
[01:31:35] words.
[01:31:36] >> Sure.
[01:31:36] >> Period.
[01:31:37] >> I agree.
[01:31:37] >> So march on the capital. Get these
[01:31:39] people out. Scare them.
[01:31:40] >> Yeah. do to them what you did to the
[01:31:43] Germans in Poland which you would like
[01:31:45] to do to the Russians and
[01:31:47] >> but the way we are a democratic society
[01:31:50] with a democratic government
[01:31:51] >> how is it democratic nobody wants
[01:31:53] >> when if a government overreaches and I
[01:31:56] think on free speech they've lost the
[01:31:57] plot if they do they will get I can
[01:32:00] guarantee you voted out of
[01:32:01] >> when was the last time Britain's voted
[01:32:03] for millions of foreigners to come to
[01:32:05] their country
[01:32:06] >> well you don't you vote for a government
[01:32:08] that makes
[01:32:08] >> well you don't ever vote for that so the
[01:32:09] biggest thing that And what happened in
[01:32:11] your history? Nobody voted for people.
[01:32:13] People flag up what their policies are
[01:32:14] going to be. But actually what it's been
[01:32:16] is a systematic failure to control our
[01:32:19] borders going back I would say 25 years.
[01:32:21] That's really what's happened.
[01:32:22] >> Just all I'm saying is it doesn't seem
[01:32:24] democratic. It doesn't seem that's what
[01:32:25] the people want at all.
[01:32:27] >> I agree. It's now become a massive
[01:32:29] issue. And the big issue actually is
[01:32:32] because they put a lot of these
[01:32:34] so-called asylum seekers and many of
[01:32:35] them are not. They're economic seekers
[01:32:38] who want a better life. I don't blame
[01:32:40] them. It's a great country to come to.
[01:32:42] But a lot of them are being put in
[01:32:44] really nice quality hotels and they're
[01:32:46] while they're being processed sometimes
[01:32:48] for 2 years, 3 years, they're living a
[01:32:51] very comfortable, luxurious life in
[01:32:53] neighborhoods where there is real abject
[01:32:56] poverty. And that is what is causing a
[01:32:58] lot of unrest. And I get that. And I
[01:33:00] have great sympathy with the people who
[01:33:02] live in those areas who are really
[01:33:04] struggling to feed their kids who are
[01:33:05] seeing these people coming in on the
[01:33:07] boats illegally and being put in f fancy
[01:33:10] hotels. That has to stop. And you also
[01:33:12] have to process these people a lot
[01:33:14] quicker for their sake and for the
[01:33:16] countries. Are you a genuine asylum
[01:33:17] seeker? I never want this country to be
[01:33:19] a place that rejects genuine asylum
[01:33:21] seekers. Why?
[01:33:22] >> Well, because actually I believe that we
[01:33:24] have a duty to take care of people who
[01:33:26] are genuinely free.
[01:33:27] >> How about your own people? What about
[01:33:28] fleeing war torn countries where we
[01:33:30] started the war? What about people
[01:33:31] >> stop starting worse? You're doing it
[01:33:33] again.
[01:33:33] >> Okay, but one of us opposed the Iraq war
[01:33:35] at the time and it wasn't you.
[01:33:37] >> I've been atoning for it ever since. I
[01:33:39] was one of the worst.
[01:33:40] >> I led the campaign here against the Iraq
[01:33:42] war. Cost me my job in the end. But I
[01:33:44] led the I led a front page assault on
[01:33:46] that.
[01:33:47] >> You should stick with that. You should
[01:33:48] stick with that.
[01:33:48] >> Well, I agree. I I take a lot of I I
[01:33:50] like to look at each war in isolation.
[01:33:53] Well, I do. I get it. I get it. Pers, I
[01:33:57] know you've got a job. You've been so
[01:33:58] gracious in defending your country.
[01:34:01] >> By the way, I meant to start with this
[01:34:05] until today. I had no idea that you
[01:34:08] appeared on Dancing with the Stars.
[01:34:09] >> I didn't. That's AI.
[01:34:11] >> Somebody tweeted the clip today with two
[01:34:13] friends of mine. Len Goodman, sadly no
[01:34:16] longer with us. Bruno Tonioli, ripping
[01:34:18] you a new one.
[01:34:19] >> Of course, your dancing. I got TO
[01:34:22] >> I DON'T I DON'T REALLY think there had
[01:34:23] their attacks had much to do with my
[01:34:24] appearance stars. I'm just suspecting.
[01:34:27] >> Well, you are many. Well, I got to be
[01:34:29] there was a point. You didn't really do
[01:34:30] much dancing. And as Bruno put it, the
[01:34:33] problem started when you actually
[01:34:34] danced.
[01:34:35] >> You know, honestly,
[01:34:36] >> has your dancing improved?
[01:34:38] >> My dancing is pretty good. I have a
[01:34:40] little trouble taking instruction, but
[01:34:42] you know, I would just say what they
[01:34:44] always say when the nude pictures of the
[01:34:46] porno tape emerge years later. I was
[01:34:47] young and I needed the money. Okay.
[01:34:51] Pierce Morgan, ladies and gentlemen,
[01:34:52] thank you for spending all
[01:34:53] >> Welcome to my country. It is it is a
[01:34:56] lovely country. Actually, I just have to
[01:34:57] say that.
[01:34:58] >> Go and have a walk out of there. Go and
[01:34:59] have a pie in the Devonshire. I'll take
[01:35:00] you to the next Arsenal game. You'll
[01:35:02] love it.
