And thank you to everyone who I saw at the University of Buckingham over the weekend. I was there for the third consecutive year at the Margaret Thatcher Centre Freedom Festival. Very, very, very special weekend. Lots of freedom fighters there.
Starting point is 00:02:44 What was great is it wasn't party political at all. So there were conservatives. There were members of Reform UK and Restore Britain. And I hope to be sharing some of that conversation with you. in the weeks to come. Breaking right now, three suspected Iranian terrorists are on the loose incidented Khan's London today after a shock terror attack this morning on Jewish ambulances left the disunited kingdom rocked again by invader violence.
Starting point is 00:03:26 An IRGC terror group in the UK called Ashshab Aliameen has taken responsibility for the attack in Golders Green. There's the announcement of that, yet all we're getting from slippery Stama and all of the other politicians is the usual platitudes and crocodile tears, while his regime quite literally empowers Islamists for purely political reasons. Tisemitism has no place in our society and it's really important that we all stand together at a moment like this. Every decent person in this country needs to stand up and speak up against this vile anti-Semitic hatred. And the UK remains a pressure cooker with things on the scene incredibly tense as Jewish locals try to drive out the Islamist news network Al Jazeera. Behind me is Al Jazeera, who has been just spouting out anti-Semitic content for months.
Starting point is 00:04:29 I cannot believe they have the temerity to show up to this event, right. Now you can go. Take your briefcase, go take your Al Jazeera equipment and go. No one needs Al Jazeera. No one wants Al Jazeera over here. Meanwhile, the elite class in MSN want to shut down genuine and necessary conversations about the Islamas takeover of the disunited kingdom, despite shocking scenes like this Mass Eid prayer event expressing domination in Birmingham. Allah Allahabad.
Starting point is 00:04:59 You've made a point saying that there are sections of Islamists who want to take over the country. And I am saying what about those on the far right who also threaten and want to take over the country who expounds dominance? What about your fears about them? The horrific truth about the UK terror threat in my digest next and the latest on this attack in North London. Then Leo Kurs is here for analysis. Also coming up on the show today, Katie Hopkins sparks fury from the Islamist left. after suggesting that Iran should bomb Muslim Bradford following her London comedy show
Starting point is 00:05:39 attended by ex-prime minister Liz Tross. British leftist attempt to cancel football legend John Terry after he backed Restore Britain and Rupert Lowe and CNN's ludicrous bid to make it star-presenters Anderson Cooper and Jake Tapper fake podcast hosts has been exposed. You're going to love this video. Then we move over to Substack for the Royal Uncanceled After Show. Big News today, Princess Metrises, marriages on
Starting point is 00:06:04 Marriages on the Rocks after she stood by her father, Andrew Mountbatten, Windsor, and Sarah Ferguson shamed for her sick TV bid to clone the late Queen's Corgis. That's not a joke. We're going to team up with the Royal News Network for all the latest on those astonishing stories. You can watch at www.outspoken.live. It is also the first Greatest Britain and Union Jackass of the week we will reveal the winners at the end of the show. But here are your nominees. You can vote for the winner right now in the live chat.
Starting point is 00:06:34 right. He's been nominated by Leo today for shutting down criticism of Islamism on LBC. Leo has also gone for Louis the Roo for focusing on the manosphere while ignoring Islam. And my nominee today is Wes Streety for his crocodile tears over today's terror attack while trying to appease Islamists. So a similar theme, you can see a similar theme to all of our nominees today. Get voting. Keep your comments coming on throughout the show. I will share the best before we go today. But now, let's go. Save me your fucking crocordial tears, slippery Stama with Streeting Sadiq Khan and all the other Labour politicians,
Starting point is 00:07:14 who have spent months appeasing Islamist terrorists on UK soil for blatantly political reasons, and then act all horrified every time there is a very predictable new attack. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard cause, the Muslim Brotherhood and Kud's Force are not even prescribed terror organisations in Britain. So last night's undoubted terror attack on Jewish ambulances in North London was a very dangerous yet completely foreseeable situation. And when you see these explosive videos,
Starting point is 00:07:52 I hope you agree that it was a miracle that ordinary Brits were not injured or killed. No, no, no, say that no, no not no, I'm going to flake it, fee ambulance is flakered. China is there. Take it so. Oh my gosh. Now it didn't take a genius to work out which country is likely behind that attack, but the Daily Telegraph was the first to reveal Israeli fears that Iran was responsible.
Starting point is 00:09:04 They reported the firebombing of four ambulances owned by a Jewish emergency service had the hallmarks of an Iran-backed attack. That was according to Israel. Israeli embassy sources. It has raised concerns that Iran is mounting a concerted campaign attacks across Europe following similar incidents in recent weeks. Now, two Iranians, you'll remember, were charged last week with spying on Jews in London for Tehran. A separate Iranian man will appear in court on Monday after he and accomplice allegedly tried to enter Britain's most important nuclear base. But in this attack, you can see there the men lighting multiple cylinders
Starting point is 00:09:44 inside the four ambulances, which were set on fire and then exploded. It smashed windows in an adjacent block of facts. As I say, a miracle that no one was injured, given it took until 306 a.m. For the fire to be brought under control, with nearby houses evacuated as a precaution and road closures remaining in place. The ambulances were owned by Hatzollah North West, a Jewish charity that provided free emergency medical care and hospital transfers. It has operated in Golders Green, home to one of Britain's largest Jewish communities since 1979. And the area has more than 30 synagogues and nearly half of its residents identify as Jewish. That is according to the 2021 census. And there you can see those suspected Iranian terrorists got away and are still on the loose.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Sure enough, within hours Iran had claimed responsibility via a group operating in the UK. This was the video that Ashab al-Yamin posted, with police soon admitting they were looking into the claims as the terrorists remained uncaptured. And you can see from this video, they have been. multiple angles showing exactly what went down last night. As Britain is broken put it, we have imported millions of people who hate each other. Now we are paying the price. Remigration now. Tommy Robinson, who was raising awareness of the issue in the US, was horrified. Reform UK's London mayoral candidate, Leila Cunningham, almost immediately declared that this is an act of terrorism on our Jewish community. YouTube, according to Taz posted, yet all we will hear
Starting point is 00:11:31 is Islamophobia. The Jewish community is in real danger in this country. It is no longer safe for them. I fear far worse will happen given the current trajectory we are on. It's like a ticking bomb and no one's doing anything to stop it. But sure enough, the crocodile tears from slippery Stama soon came. This is belonging to the Jewish emergency service that's been attacked or sit on fire in the attack on London Synagogue. Do you have any comment on this appalling attack? and have police found or caught the perpetrators? Well, this is a horrific anti-Semitic attack. And, of course, my thoughts, I think all of our thoughts,
Starting point is 00:12:13 will be with those in the vicinity, the residents who are understandably very concerned, a Jewish community across the country deeply concerned. I've already been in touch with community leaders this morning and will continue to do so during the day. but anti-Semitism has no place in our society. And it's really important that we all stand together at a moment like this. Oh, really, Stama.
Starting point is 00:12:40 As Peter Lloyd responded, after months of praising Muslims, Stama feigns outrage over the arson attack against Jewish community ambulances. Trump supporter Laura Luma posted directly to the Prime Minister. This is what happens when you allow the UK to be totally taken over by Muslims And Reform UK commentator Chris Rose added, instead of repeating copy and paste statements after every anti-Semitic attack, he should do something useful by prescribing the IRGC and the Muslim Brotherhood. Then the health secretary, where's Streetie,
Starting point is 00:13:13 who spends every waking moment appeasing Islamists because he knows they're going to kick his ass in his seat at the next election. Remember, he admitted it in those leaked messages to Peter Mandelson. He turned up at the sea. Mr. Strait of Lucy Manning, BBC News, what do you say to the Jewish community who feel that they have been protected and these attacks have been ongoing and have been stopped? There is no doubt that what this attack was designed to do is to strike fear into the heart of Jewish people here in Golders Green, but also across the country. And as a member of Parliament who represents a significant Jewish community further east in London, I know that what's happened here will be felt. painfully and acutely by all Jewish people across our country. The aim of these attackers is clear.
Starting point is 00:14:04 They want Jewish people in this country to live smaller lives, to live less Jewish lives, to be less visible as Jewish people, to fear going about Jewish life, whether that's attending school with their kids, sure, with their families at weekends, or providing the services and support that makes the Jewish community one of the most resilient, strong and proud communities in the country. I know that the Jewish community will not be cowed by this despicable act of evil, but it is the responsibility of the rest of us not to be bystanders. Every decent person in this country needs to stand up and speak up against this vile anti-Semitic hatred. Oh really? Well, this was you at the recent Westminster FIFTAR.
Starting point is 00:14:53 In recent days, it's age-old racism that I thought we had consigned to the 1970s and the 1980s, basically saying that if you don't look like me, even if you were born here, you can't really be British. That is just about the most un-British thing I can think of. How dare people in this country fly our country's flag, whether it's the St George's flag of England or the Union flag of the United Kingdom, and say that that part of the flag belongs to people who look like me, but not people who look like a home secretary of our country, but there in this city or many people here this evening.
Starting point is 00:15:39 But after that speech, Wes decided to wind up those who were concerned about his Islamist sympathies. Posted on X, this speech has annoyed all the right people. So to wind them up further, this gay, Bible-bashing Christian, which is all Muslims here and across our country Ramadan, Mubarak. But perhaps it's because of scenes such as this one, why he shouldn't be so eager to make fun and play games for political point scoring. Indeed, today he was heckled at the scene. What are you going to do, West Street, team?
Starting point is 00:16:17 Then the Islamist mayor of London had the nerve to come out and pretend he cares about the fears of Jewish people. Watch. are volunteers who come together to provide a public service for everyone. The idea that somebody who attacks somebody because they're Jewish or that attack Hatzrilo is perverse. And that's where all of us needs to be aware of how scared Jewish people are. But I'll tell you this. There is no honour in remaining silent.
Starting point is 00:16:45 If anybody knows anything, please report it to the police. You can anonymously report it to crime stop because it's really important, those responsible, I held to account. Oh yeah. If you cared, Khan, you wouldn't have displayed this gross act of domination in the capital just last week as Islamists took over Trafalgar Square. And as the day went on, locals in Golders Green at the scene of today's attack got more and more angry, including trying to expel Islamist news network Al Jazeera from reporting on the scene. Behind me is Al Jazeera.
Starting point is 00:17:48 who has been just spouting out anti-Semitic content for months. I cannot believe they have the temerity to show up to this event right now, this horrible morning that is probably to do with what they voucherhenits. Al Jazeera off our streets. Al Jazeera off our street. Al Jazeera off our street. Al Jazeera off our street. Al Jazeera off our street.
Starting point is 00:18:20 They love it. They can see they love all this. Now you can go. Take your briefcase, go take your Al Jazeera equipment and go. No one needs Al Jazeera. No one wants Al Jazeera over here. You don't decide. No one wants out.
Starting point is 00:18:35 So don't attack me. Yeah, but your people who you work for. Don't attack me. Don't attack me. I don't know who you work for. I don't know about you. I don't know about you. A lot of course
Starting point is 00:18:45 Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. We represent an entity that has questionable motives. And by association. This is a complete mess.
Starting point is 00:18:57 We have foreign battles taking place every single day on the streets of the United Kingdom and slippery Stama and his mob trying to appeal to the Islamists are responsible. Of course, the Slaver government has been an embarrassment since this conflict broke out, literally covering up the fact that Iran attacked the British Army base at Diego Garcia, which poses terrifying questions about the total lack of defense of our homeland. Watch.
Starting point is 00:19:32 One of the things we hear a lot about in these conflicts is an escalation ladder. And when Iran fired the intermediate range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia that Trey mentioned 4,000 kilometers from Iran, that was an escalation that not only stunned the U.S., but the entire way. world because Iran had not publicly stated that they had anything that could go more than 2,000 kilometers. And yet here now we know they have two 4,000 kilometer range intermediate missiles that fortunately did not impact anything, but it's a warning. It's a message that they have these capabilities that they didn't publicly state.
Starting point is 00:20:15 In fact, under President Obama's JCPOA, there was no restriction on Iran's missile capabilities. They said they weren't building it. Now we know. And what is the danger? Why is the world unnoticed? Because look, from Rome, Munich, Paris, London, Berlin, Oslo, all now within this radius, these capitals, in many of these capitals in these countries, do not have the missile interceptor technology like we have and like Israel has. So should a nuclear-tipped intermediate range ballistic missile be fired at one of these capitals, it could change the trajectory of humanity, as we know it. But do you want to know all we got from our toothless
Starting point is 00:20:57 foreign secretary of Eck Cooper this weekend? Watch. Whether you like it or not, is the UK being dragged into this war? Well, as the Prime Minister has made clear, we will provide defensive support against these reckless Iranian threats. But we have not been, and we continue not to be involved in offensive action.
Starting point is 00:21:18 And we want to see the swiftest possible resolution as he's made clear we will not be drawn into a wider conflict because we think we need to see as swift as possible resolution in the UK national interest, but also to support regional stability, security and the economy as well. As the mail's columnist for Labour, by the way, Dan Hodges responded, this is an incredible statement from a British foreign secretary
Starting point is 00:21:44 literally acknowledges our interests, allies, global partners, global shipping and the wider Middle East are under direct attack from a hostile state. It emphasizes we will not take offensive action to deter it. Now compare her rhetoric to that of the US Secretary of War Pete Hegset, who is prepared to talk openly about the Islamist threat to Western civilization. In Afghanistan, name the Islamist enemy whether they are Sunni or Shia, because this is a Shia regime, Sunni or Shia, and Iran's been willing to harbor them as long as that
Starting point is 00:22:19 group is willing to try to kill Americans. So the enemy of their enemy has been their friend as well in the Islamist world. So Iran, whether it's Iraq, whether it's Afghanistan, whether it's around the world, has been targeting Americans. And what they wanted in this context and what President Trump would not tolerate is a regime of that nature being closer and closer to nuclear capabilities. No wonder we're in the truly surreal situation where Donald Trump literally shared on truth social overnight, a skit from the first episode of the Uber Woke sky debut of Saturday Night Live
Starting point is 00:22:55 UK, where our Prime Minister was mocked, even by the left, for being completely toothless about this situation and saying things in regards to Trump like that scary, scary, wonderful president, I'll do anything except take a stand, I just want to keep him happy, you don't understand him like I do. And what is becoming clear is that Stama cannot cope with this. The pressure is getting too much. The cover-up is becoming too significant. Indeed, in the past few hours, he has just lost it
Starting point is 00:23:28 over perfectly reasonable questions about our security during a select committee hearing. Watch. The chiefs of staff are saying, we need to be ready for war. So when are we going to be prepared and prepared for what? We are finalising the investment plan.
Starting point is 00:23:48 That sits with the Strategic Defence Review. This smacks of an enormous complacency. Well, this smacks of the fact that for years there was underinvestment by the last government and the stripping out and following out of our armed To vote. I'm not making a part of the good point. I agree with Ben Wallace.
Starting point is 00:24:04 I agree with Ben Wallace. Forty years of underinvestment, 18 months of a Labour government. But take drones, for example. We're picking up the underinvestment of the York. And all of this really comes down to the fact that this corrupted Labor government will not take any stand about the Islamist takeover of our country because they are so scared of losing the Muslim vote. In another obvious show of domination, I want to show you this scene of Eid from Birmingham. As Basil the Great argued, Keistama is lying to you. The Islamic colonisation of the UK is well underway.
Starting point is 00:25:43 And Reform UK MP, Sarah Pochin, the one who the left is currently trying to cancel, added recent mass iftar events in Trafalgar Square and large-scale Eid prayers in Birmingham and elsewhere cut sharply against our principle that Britain is a tolerant nation. That should never mean failing to defend our own traditions or allowing them to be dominated for fear of causing offence. Mass prayers in iconic public locations by religions whose traditional interpretations conflict fundamentally with Western values such as equality for women, gay rights and democratic freedom
Starting point is 00:26:24 do not accord with British values. Public displays of religion on this scale are not in keeping with that balance. They risk appearing as a show of dominance that excludes and divides. Now, this situation is so extraordinary and things are changing so fast that you know I've been tracking the fact that John Cleese, yes, a national icon as a result of the creation of Faulty Towers, but obviously late, let's be honest, pretty dodgy left-wing Lib Dem supporter, has now seen the light. And I'm celebrating him seeing the light because he has entered full on warfare on this issue, including directly against London's Islamist mayor over the weekend, where he posted on X, Deer Sadiq Khan, I think some of the prejudice to do with singling out Muslims,
Starting point is 00:27:20 is to do with their stated intention to kill. infidels, especially the bit about beheading them. You see, the other religions don't promise that. That prompted Islamist commentator Medi Hassan to inaccurately argue who knew that John Cleese was actually the racist Basil Faulty character he played on screen. But Lawrence Fox rightly reminded him and this is a point that infuriates me. Islam isn't a race, Medi. In the same way, Islamophobia isn't a word. People have just got bored of Islamist. cry bullies massacring innocent people whilst proclaiming how peaceful their religion is. And I have to say that this weekend nothing summed up the suicidal empathy of our elite class
Starting point is 00:28:08 and our mainstream media more than a quite astonishing and yes deranged exchange between the truly repulsive leftist broadcaster Matthew Wright, whose awful views mean that he's still allowed to fill in on LBC every now and then, and Connie Shaw of the Free Speech Union. Well, I think that Nick Timothy has every right to express the view that he did, and I think it's quite extraordinary to see Labour calling for Kemi Badoe to sack him from the front benches, particularly considering how knowledgeable and well-read Nick Timothy is on this topic, and the brilliant work he's done to stop the way that... We found a real fan girl.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Yes, I am. There are some Islamists, as we'd refer. to them who are very interested in political dominance. There's also some on the far-right that are interested in... No, but it's a discussion, conic. No, no, stop to flexing. We're here talking about Islamism. No, we're talking about free speech at the moment. I've been asked to come on LBC to comment on Nick Timothy's comments.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Right. And I'm here to have a discussion with you. So if you want to have a monologue, do it on a podcast. I can't explain my point and you can't have me on the point. You've made a point saying that there are sections of Islamists who want to take over the country. Yes. And I am saying, what about those on the... the far right, who also threaten and want to take over the country, who expounds dominance.
Starting point is 00:29:29 What about your fears about them? I also have concerns about them, but it would be helpful if I could talk about this topic that I've been invited to talk about. And now Leo Curse is here to respond. Leo, so we just saw it there in that extraordinary exchange between Matthew Wright and Connie Shaw that he doesn't even want to allow this type of discussion. Yeah, and she wasn't saying anything remotely controversial or anything that would be denied by the majority of Muslims or by Islamists themselves. There are a lot of Islamists who openly state that they want to take over.
Starting point is 00:30:13 I mean, Islam is a religion. It's a bit more than a religion. It's a form of societal and political organization as well. That's hell bent on conquest. How do you think they've taken over, dominated and conquered so much of the Middle East and Asia? Why do you think we had to fight the Crusades? I mean, this isn't new stuff and this isn't hidden away. This is all, this is all very, very open.
Starting point is 00:30:38 And Islamists will openly admit that, you know, there are sections of Islam that want to, want to dominate, want to take over. So what Connie was saying, you know, isn't, isn't in any way controversial or debatable, disputable. But Matthew Wright finds it upsetting because he is, he prescribes, he, he's a proponent. of a different religion. He's from the religion of wokeism. He's a far-left ideologist who believes that multiculturalism is a panacea, diversity is a strength. And these are things that cannot be questioned. Because they're ideologies, the idea must be protected. So Matthew has to protect the idea that multiculturalism is fantastic by denying and deflecting anything that Connie says about any problematic aspects of Islam, because it does mesh with Matthew's religion. So he
Starting point is 00:31:34 deflects and basically silences, silences Connie Shaw. And he's no doubt emboldened in the silencing of Connie and this silencing of any questioning of Islam by the government's new non-statutory Islamophobia rules. So the government brought through these rules. And they're not an official law, But they're kind of more dangerous than an official law because an official law is subject to much more scrutiny and debate and, you know, has to go through all the democratic processes to make a new law, whereas the government's new non-statutory Islamophobia rules are basically guidance, guidance for any for any public body or charity or police force or anything like that. And for broadcasters such as Matthew Wright. And they give him the carte blanche. They say he's doing the right thing. If he shuts, down any criticism of Islamism, because Islamism must be protected according to the left. And it's nonsensical. And the way he deflects to say, well, what about the far right? Man, when have the far right ever been a serious problem? Like, tell me the last time a far right activist went into a pop concert in Britain and blew up, you know, 28 girls who are enjoying
Starting point is 00:32:51 a pop concert. You know, let me know the last time the far right had a huge rally, a huge display of dominance in Trafalgar Square. You know, just show me. Show me where the far right are. We've probably got about maybe 200. Trust me, if that ever happened, they would never shut up about it. They would never, ever, ever shut up about it. The person responsible would be as famous as Adolf Hitler.
Starting point is 00:33:14 These incidents do not exist. They do not exist. And even the official government statistics for a failed organization like the prevent, group, which is meant to prevent terror, but actually never does, makes it incredibly clear that the vast majority of referrals that they look at are to do with Islamist extremism. But then, Leo, we see those scenes from Gold is Green today, and I'm a bit like, this is not Britain. Do you know what I mean? Orthodox Jews, who quite rightly feel completely horrified and unhappy about what has happened with foreign accents, fighting against Islamists over a false.
Starting point is 00:33:55 foreign news organization like Al Jazeera. We have imported these battles onto our streets, and I feel deeply uncomfortable about it. Yeah, absolutely. Me too. I mean, this is, I used to live in Stanford Hill, just on the edge of the largest ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Europe. And, you know, I've got to be honest, they weren't the friendliest people. They kept themselves themselves, but I never had any problem. You know, if I lived there and I had daughters, I wouldn't be worried about my daughters. This is, I mean, this is an attack on not just, not just the ultra-Orthodox, not just the more, you know, the more hardcore Jews.
Starting point is 00:34:36 This is an attack on just your regular Jews who are absolutely, you know, intertwined with British life and fit in and, you know, put their Britishness first and foremost. If you go to, if you go to a synagogue, when they're doing their prayer, they start with a prayer to the king and the countries. So, you know, they really embed Britishness at the heart of their faith. They're not Jewish first and British second. You know, they really love this country. And I'm not sure you could say the same for other parts of Islam,
Starting point is 00:35:08 for parts of Islam that refer to us as kaffar or infidels or say that, you know, the West is decadent and must be converted into a caliphate. You know, we're not seeing that. And it's incredible to see, you know, the IRGC. bomb these ambulances and then claim, they admitted, they claimed these bombings for themselves, and there are still people on the left who are denying, they're denying that this could have happened. They're saying that this must be some sort of false flag. This is Jews doing it to themselves to try and be, to try and be victims. One person even claimed that it's, that it was for
Starting point is 00:35:47 insurance purposes, which is just laughable, you know, when the IRGC, when the Iranian state has actually claimed these attacks itself. And then we see that scene of the mass prayer for Eid, you know, another display of dominance. And I'm just looking here at the live chat on YouTube. And as Zoe 355 points out, where were the women? Where were the women? Leo. Nowhere to be seen, just like in Trafalgar Square, right?
Starting point is 00:36:22 nowhere to be seen. And where were the trans genders? Where were the gays? You know, where were the... It's like Sadiq Khan said that the prayer in Trafalgar was all faiths coming together. It's like, no, it wasn't. It was just one faith.
Starting point is 00:36:35 It was obviously just one feet. I did not see one white face. Actually, maybe I saw one, one. But by the way, this is always my point, though. It's where Medi Hassan gets this so wrong. You're not an ethnic group. I have just as much problem with the white... Islamists who are equally extreme.
Starting point is 00:36:58 We've seen the white Islamists do things like they've beheaded that school teacher in France. You know, we've got guys from the Balkans who've got some very extreme views, guys from Russia, Muslims from Russia with very extreme views, who pose just as much of a threat. So, you know, how is it, how is it a racial thing? You know, these are white guys. The other thing that isn't allowed under Islamist law. in the increasingly Islamist United Kingdom is comedy. Because these hard left Islamists now want to cancel and take down Katie Hopkins. The comedian, and yes, the right-wing provocateur, it is fair to say,
Starting point is 00:37:44 for making a very obvious joke on X. When she wrote to the new Ayatollah of Iran, Dear Mr. Cahony, here are the coordinates for Bradford. Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter, Katie Hopkins. Now, Katie, of course, a little bit tongue-in-cheek, because Bradford is increasingly one of Islamist Britain's hot spot. Very, very soon, you will be in a minority if you are white or you are Christian in Bradford. And look, this is a joke. Of course it's a joke. But luckily, increasingly, more and more,
Starting point is 00:38:33 the elite class are realizing that Katie Hopkins is also speaking the truth, pointed out by the fact that Liz Truss, the former British Prime Minister, attended her comedy show in London on Friday. Watch. Big warm-up show here in the West End, so Common Garden. I wanted to say, a couple of things. Thank you to former Prime Minister Liz Truss for coming to join us this evening. Liz was just here in amongst the crowd. People didn't necessarily realise she was here, but it was very meaningful to me that we had a former Prime Minister in our audience to the police officers who come and join us, the NHS workers, the teachers, all the people who every single
Starting point is 00:39:22 day of their lives have to keep their mouths shut and not say, what they really think, coming along to the show is just to have a night off, to forget all of the rules that they have and just to feel at home. And what's so amazing, we have people coming along on their own, single brinkles. And then just seeing everyone at the bar afterwards, just having a lovely time because everyone fits. Yeah. And that's why they want to destroy her. That's why they want to shut her down. So this joke about Bradford, like everything Katie Hopkins does, posted with tongue firmly in chief,
Starting point is 00:39:56 but making a serious point because trust me, what has happened to Bradford, and you just have to look at these pictures of Bradford to know that it is tragic. It's absolutely devastating. So that's why the Islamist leftists are now trying to cancel her. Again, the problem is, once you've already cancelled us, it's quite hard to do it again. We're in a new world. We don't rely on the mainstream media. We don't need their money.
Starting point is 00:40:21 We don't need their gigs. Ayyub Khan posted sick woman. Can someone get her help? Bush Rishikh. Jail for you, inshāla. Vile Islamophope. Lock her up and throw away the key. She also copied in the metropolitan police,
Starting point is 00:40:42 literally advocating for Katie Hopkins to be arrested for a joke, a comedian to be arrested for a joke. When Bushra Sheikh post-support of arming Iran with new. nuclear bombs by the day. I don't want her to be locked up. Remigrated, maybe. That's a joke.
Starting point is 00:41:03 Narenda Kaur added, can you imagine if a brown or black woman asked for a predominantly white city to be bombed? This is utterly disgusting. Leo Kirst, you are a top social commentator, but also one of Britain's first cancelled comedians. Firstly, can we discuss the joke? Leo, can we discuss the joke? Like, is that allowed? Are you allowed to joke about Iran bombing Bradford? Like, is that fine if Ricky Javais doesn't and it's just not fine if Katie Hopkins does?
Starting point is 00:41:40 Yeah, I mean, a joke, a joke is a joke. This is a joke. Just because it's also a good idea, it doesn't mean that it can't also be funny. And a lot of people have made jokes like this. I'm kind of upset that, you know, Katie Hopkins is getting all the attention because I've been I've been saying on TV, I've been saying on Twitter, I've been saying in my live shows, that I'll get a tattoo of the Ayatollah on my butt if he actually, you know, pulls the trigger and nukes London. You know, depending on, depending on where he hits, you know, if he takes out, if he takes out certain sections of London, this could, this could be fantastic for the country. So, you know, people have been making these jokes. People have been making these jokes.
Starting point is 00:42:13 It's gallows humor. But it's also, you know, it points out that, you know, Iran has been firing these missiles at all these Muslim population centers and the gulf. Now that they've got missiles that can actually hit Britain, we've got a lot of Muslim population population centers here. We've got Birmingham, Bradford, lots of places, London. So, yeah, I mean, it's a, it's a serious, it's a serious thing. And, you know, people have been making, making jokes about this. I'll be making jokes about this on tour. My tour starts this, this Friday. And the 27th, I'm coming to Rotherham, which is, you know, is appropriate. Leo. Yeah, it's one of these places, man, you go to these northern towns. And you think, who was it in the 60s and 70s?
Starting point is 00:42:54 It was like, you know what this place needs? They're like, there's such beautiful places. It's like, why did you bring the entirety of like a valley in Pakistan and just airlift them into this, into this town? It just doesn't make any sense to me. Why you'd want that massive demographic change and all the upheaval and conflict that would then entail. It's ridiculous. You know what Narinder said? Narinder said, imagine if Katie Hopkins or imagine if a Muslim had said this about a majority white city.
Starting point is 00:43:22 imagine how upset people would be. Like, number one, like, I've seen that said about lots of places. You know, it's not like no Muslim commentator has ever, you know, has never wished any harm on the West. But also, the point she's making, like, there are no majority white cities in Pakistan that we could say, oh, why don't you bomb there? There are no majority white cities in Pakistan.
Starting point is 00:43:45 There are no majority Christian cities in Pakistan. In these Muslim countries, once Islam has the upper hand, other religions, other creeds are crushed, forced into exile, executed. It's insane. So, you know, the fact that we've got Muslim cities in this country shows, you know, are we heading in the right direction? Is this really a good idea? You know, I'd be much more comfortable with Muslim cities in Britain if there were Christian cities, British cities, white cities, in Saudi Arabia, in Pakistan, in Iran. Of course, which we know
Starting point is 00:44:23 it's never going to happen because Islamists are all about not just preservation, but spreading, colonising. Now, can we talk about Katie Hopkins and the fascinating journey she has been on, Leo?
Starting point is 00:44:38 Because of course, at one point, she was absolutely smack bang in what was considered the accepted mainstream media space in the United Kingdom. I mean, I remember I was a colleague of Katie's
Starting point is 00:44:51 Back at my time at the Sun newspaper, we were both columnists there. Katie did have an acrimonious departure from the newspaper because she wrote a column about using gunships to shoot cockroach migrants crossing the channel. She wasn't sacked immediately, but it was sort of like, oh, you know, we're just going to ease her out. But she still had a show on LBC. She then moved to the Daily Mail to be a columnist. all of a sudden it was like decided that she was not just persona on gratis. This was a woman who had to be destroyed. She had to lose everything. She couldn't have a house. She couldn't have a bank account. She couldn't even have her liberty. The way that Katie Hopkins was turned on by the British deep state was truly barbaric. And as one of the most horrendous cancellations I have ever witnessed,
Starting point is 00:45:51 up close. Now, something's changed, Leo, because of course, what people are realizing is actually all of those views that Katie Hopkins used to express, by the way, on Wokai TV's This Morning Show, do you remember she was one of their favorite guests and she'd come on and she'd do a debate? I mean, as mainstream as you get, people are realizing that those views are just the same as they always were, supported by the majority of the country. And to me, even though she has been canceled in some ways herself, it still felt significant that you have Liz Truss, a former Prime Minister, turning up to a Katie Hopkins comedy show, something that would have been unthinkable even a couple of years ago. Yeah, absolutely. And I think we've seen a lot of people sort of come in
Starting point is 00:46:37 from the cold, not just Katie Hopkins, but people like Tommy Robinson, he's had a real sort of rehabilitation of his public image. And I think it's because, like part of it's because the Overton window, the sort of window of accepting public discourse has greatly shifted and greatly widened. But also because just situations, the situation the country is in is forcing a lot of people to realize that we're not on the right track. And it's not, people think that, you know, people get radicalized into being conservative or right wing by going on Twitter and seeing some tweets and it's all because of Elon Musk, it's not at all. It's from reality. If you walk down the street in London, if you walk down the street in a lot of British towns, you know,
Starting point is 00:47:27 mostly English towns, but increasingly in Scotland as well, you can see, you can see the pace of demographic change and you can see the negative impacts. You open any newspaper and they can't hide the what's really going on. Even if they try to, you can see the images. You can see the images. see the pictures of the mug shots and you know that these guys can't trace their lineage back to the Magna Carta. You're seeing, you know, like the Somalian guy in Scotland who stabbed people and then and then hid in a block of flats. You know, he's one of the new Scots that have been welcomed in and we're seeing that, you know, a lot in England as well. You know, Axel Ruda Cabana, people like this. Obviously, those are the most extreme cases. But even just the feeling of,
Starting point is 00:48:14 demographic change in a place. You go to small towns like Bambury, High Wickham, and people are walking about sometimes feeling shell-shocked. And I'm not just talking about, you know, white people, white British people. I was talking to a guy who's, I'm not actually sure what ethnicity is, but, you know, Pakistani or Indian or something originally, British, now born in Britain. I was talking to him in B&Q. And he was telling me that he's shocked by it and he's worried about it. He doesn't want, you know, he's a supporter of Tommy Robinson, and he doesn't want to see, you know, his sort of wave of migrants who, who integrated and worked hard, being dragged down by, by association with, you know, this new open borders policy that lets,
Starting point is 00:49:02 that incentivizes, you know, the worst people from around the world to, to come and raid our shores. So because of that, because of that shift, we're seeing Katie Hopkins, because she's stuck to her ideas. She's now being proved correct and she's now being resurrected in the public opinion. And she's a, you know, she's a great public speaker, great comedian. You know, I don't know, I'm not, I'm not saying I'm better just because I've got, you know, 20 years of being an actual stand-up comedian. You know, you can get tickets from a tour at leo-cairce.com and you can judge for yourself. I probably don't shift as many tickets as her, to be honest. But yeah, she's great. And you're well done on her for sticking to her guns. No, indeed. And I'm glad you mentioned Tommy
Starting point is 00:49:38 Robinson too, because I just played you that video. which was him at Mara Lago over the weekend, which is quite incredible, as Ben on Wine posted after everything he's been through. And the years and years of abuse and persecution, Tommy Robinson ends up at Mara Lago watching a live performance of the US National Anthem in front of Donald Trump while that's some journey, not bad for someone who's been written off. And there was another really significant moment this week in regards to Tommy Robinson.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Ion Herssey Ali, who is of course one of the real first Camber. campaigners on the horrors of Islam spoke out publicly, totally endorsing Tommy for the first time. She posted on ex-Tommy, I can't thank you enough for your sacrifice and courage. You saw all of this and you dedicated your life to show in your country what was going on. I wish they had listened to you still. It is not too late. And he was incredibly grateful for that and said, we have moved the Overton window so much. that they have to call it out now about time.
Starting point is 00:50:45 That in reference to the fact that Kemi Badernock was accusing Kirstama of sucking up to Muslims to see off the threat from the Green Party. I mean, I think it's been amazing to see Tommy Robinson embraced by MAGA and actually even more widely than that, Leo Kirst, because it shows the mainstream media, the political class, the elite class in this country that they got him. so, so wrong. They've gone so wrong
Starting point is 00:51:15 and I think the establishment is almost giving a tacit seal of approval to Tommy Robinson now because they know that he's actually not a bad guy. He's, you know, he's very civic nationalist, he's built a multiracial movement. He's a powerful guy. He can get, you know,
Starting point is 00:51:32 hundreds of thousands of people out onto the streets and he resonates with a lot of people who've been ignored. So if they ignore Tommy, if the establishment ignores Tommy or condemns him, somebody who's genuinely malevolent could step into the breach. So, you know, I think that's why, that's why, you know, Tommy and people like Katie are being given some, some breathing space. One thing that worries me is we could see, it's not inconceivable that we have a green party or a far-left coalition government in the
Starting point is 00:52:10 UK over the next few years. And in America, you know, it's quite possible that the Democrats return to power. And in that case, censorship could return to the internet. And a lot of people could be crushed, their voices crushed, and the people themselves harassed and jailed and targeted with lawfare, like Tommy has been. Yeah, we would probably not even be having this conversation if it wasn't for Elon Musk purchasing X and Donald Trump winning the White House. So I really hope that by the time we do have those hard left influences, the idea of censoring the internet just feels so insane. But we're already seen it here with the Labour Party and it is something really chilling. They're actually trying to cancel John Terry now.
Starting point is 00:53:01 Can you believe that? They are trying to cancel John Terry. And you'll understand why. as soon as I show this to you, even though I think it is utterly brilliant, because as inevitable West pointed out, the England legend Don Terry has endorsed Rupert Lowe's plans to ban the burqa and ensure that London stations use only the English language. The finest of England is uniting.
Starting point is 00:53:30 And you'll see that it was specifically in regards to this post on Instagram where Rupert Lowe said this picture was taking. Bacon in London, Restore Britain would ban the Berker. And you could see John Terry liked and responded to that with three clap emojis and an English flag. You can imagine the left-wing reaction, though. Even the mainstream media has acted as if John Terry has just committed some type of crime. No, John Terry is a patriot. I want to hear more from him.
Starting point is 00:54:05 I want him to be platformed on politics now because trust me, every single left-wing footballer is given that platform from Neville to Linneka and every single one of them in between. Why are we not allowed to hear from John Terry on politics when we are allowed to hear from those other goons? And what's great is that Rupert Lowe, who has very much welcomed this tacit endorsement from John Terry, is making the point that actually,
Starting point is 00:54:37 these bods in the mainstream media who used to control the conversation cannot do so anymore because cancel culture is dead. This was the post that Rupert made. He said, cancel culture is dead because enough of us say so. Reform and Farage tried to send me to prison
Starting point is 00:54:54 for pushing to deport foreign child gang rapists. They failed. The mood is rapidly changing. I have never been more confident that Restore Britain will win the next. election. So Leo Kirst, this was amazing to me because John Terry, I think, is one of those great folklore figures. And yes, his career was full of scrapes, right? During my days in tabloid newspapers, we filled a lot of front pages with John Terry. But he was never someone
Starting point is 00:55:28 who lost the respect of the British working classes. He was never someone like David Becker who, let's be honest, while an icon got far too big for his boots, lost his sense of what it meant, I think, to remain a working-class English lad. And so the fact that we have someone very famous, like John Terry, supporting Rupert Lowe's positions, has terrified and sent to chill through the mainstream media, which is why they are trying to shame him into silence. I desperately hope it doesn't work, because I would argue that John Terry. is rich enough, famous enough, and has a big enough support base to say, fuck them.
Starting point is 00:56:11 I don't care that the Daily Mail and the Athletica saying that I'm a scumbag for supporting Rupert Lowe, I'm going to keep speaking out in the same way that Neville and Linnaker and Ian Wright and all of my compatriots from that era on the left are allowed to do. Yeah, and isn't it interesting? I mean, the word shame that you used there, that's such a key word, because they have. tried to do that. If you looked at the athletic, the football outlet that the release details of this, that, you know, I've had the scoop that John Terry has liked to tweet. John Terry has some opinions that are a lot like a lot of other people's opinions. The way they wrote it was a real
Starting point is 00:56:54 attempt at a sort of character assassination takedown as if, you know, I think 10 years ago, if they'd done that, it would have worked and there'd be this huge pile on and people calling for John Terry to be defenestrated and have all his gold trophies taken off him and sent to the Gulag. Now, people just don't care. People are just, most people are like, yeah, you know what?
Starting point is 00:57:16 Like, I agree with John Terry. You know, I mean, how can it be seen as controversial to want to ban the burqa? It's been done in a lot of other European countries. It's been done in some fairly progressive, left-wing European countries. I think Denmark and France, They've both banned the burqa.
Starting point is 00:57:35 These aren't, these aren't, you know, redneck states or anything or whatever Owen Jones would call them. And the reason for banning the burqa is because it's a symbol of female oppression. And it's used by the patriarchy, the Islamic patriarchy, to subjugate women and remove, raise them from society visually and also, you know, remove their voice. So, you know, for somebody to stand up for banning the burqa is actually quite a progress. thing. And the people who want to keep the burqa, who want to keep women in sacks, they're the ones who aren't progressive and the ones who need to give their heads a wobble. And what I loved about this is I think it does show how much the conversation and the debate is changing in part because of what we were discussing in terms of that lack of censorship. Now,
Starting point is 00:58:24 this debate didn't happen on X. Do you know what I mean? John Terry's not like you or me, Leo, someone who's sort of doom scrolling through the news. news and you know it is a particular portion of the population very engaged in what's going on that that lives on musk's platform this was on instagram you know this type of conversation is spreading to parts of the population that are not necessarily massively engaged in politics yeah and instagram it's interesting going on instagram because you know probably like you I thought that Twitter was really, you know, where the more extreme, not extreme, but, you know, people feel sort of unencumbered. They really say what they mean on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:59:15 And sometimes they might go a bit too far for a lot of people's tastes. But actually, you go on Instagram, and it's the Wild West now. Oh, my God, it's insane. I mean, I don't know if the algorithm just knows what I like. But you see some insane stuff on there, some insane opinions and insane commentators. So it's really spreading. And I think, you know, Elon Musk buying Twitter has led to a sort of relaxation of the rules, of the sort of self-imposed rules across all of tech. Because for so long, it was really tightly controlled by a small cabal of hardcore left-wing tech gurus and also the Democrats.
Starting point is 00:59:53 They worked in concert with the Democrat Party in America. So now that that's been broken, Elon Musk has come in. And also, you know, people like Mark Zuckerberg are also feeling a bit more relaxed about everything. And they're maybe a bit freer. Mark Zuckerberg himself is a bit freer to sort of be the based right-wing individual he always secretly was. We're seeing a lot more freedom across these other platforms. And yeah, who would, I mean, to see these people come out and see, like especially footballing publications, come out and be like, oh, look what John Terry's done.
Starting point is 01:00:27 Oh, mess, mess. John Terry did a bad thing. like they're running to teacher. It's like, why I'm to football publications that used to be about football and having fun and masculinity and testosterone? What I'm to that? How come football has turned into such a cesspit
Starting point is 01:00:40 of like just pusification? Yes. Woke wet, pusification. I love it. And look, there was big news for Restore Britain over the weekend. Rupert Lowe announcing that they are now a registered, serious national political party
Starting point is 01:00:56 with a realistic chance of winning the next general election that will ban halal and kosher slaughter on day one Restore Britain. The party then posted that huge numbers were joining today. However, the conspiracy types who want to believe that Restore Britain's growth is being propelled by like foreign bots or something. This is something that, you know, Alex Phillips, a Reform UK supporter and talked TV host have said for a long time was wrongly pushed over the weekend by a piece of fake news,
Starting point is 01:01:39 just totally made up ironically by an account that has been set up specifically to bring down restore Britain with lies. But what was so concerning to me is that Alex actually went on talk TV today and repeated what was a complete made-up lie. That's been confirmed, by the way, by Connor Thominson and the Electoral Commission, live on air. Watch this. And actually on the other side, Restore Britain, I've done my research into them and I can tell you right now. Actually, there's a story out today, a letter to the Electoral Commission saying, okay, so you've now signed them up as a political party. but 60% of the so-called membership are all foreign. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:30 It's, you know, when you look at things like the promotion of Zach Polansky and how the Green Party is suddenly rocketed to prominence, I don't think it's being organic. No, it's, I think that there are hostile states playing games. Oh, yes, they are, and it's called Iran. They've been doing this. I mean, first thing, I find it so depressing, by the way, that all of the arguments that were previously used by the hard left
Starting point is 01:02:51 against people like Alex Phillips when they were in the Brexit party, Do you remember all of the crazies, the byline times, the Carol Cudwallas, who said, this rise is only supported because of Russian election interference and foreign bots? And how saying exactly the same thing about Restore Britain? It wasn't true then about the Brexit Party. It's never been true about Nigel Fras. It's not true about Rupert Lowe and Restore either. But the problem is, despite having done her research,
Starting point is 01:03:20 Alex was relying on a piece of genuine fake news, a made-up ex-post that did go viral. Basil the Great pointed out completely false allegation towards Restore Britain, started by a fake email on Talk TV. I assume that Alex will be retracting this publicly now it's been debunked. The Electoral Commission does not comment on party members in this way. It was all made up. And Rupert Lowe, clearly unhappy, adding this is an outright large, from Alex Phillips on Talk TV, this needs to be urgently corrected. Well, it hasn't been yet, Leo.
Starting point is 01:03:59 And I'm not only disturbed by the fact that this piece of fake news was able to find its way onto Talk TV, I think it does show you actually that Talk TV is one of these reform propaganda outfits. But it's more the fact that people on the right are now using the tactics of the left to cancel people who should be allies. I mean, Alex Phillips and Rupert Lowe were both Brexit Party MEPs. They were colleagues together. This is wrong.
Starting point is 01:04:32 Yeah, and it doesn't really pass a Saints check. I mean, I've got huge respect for Alex Phillips. You know, she's a friend and, you know, normally I agree 100% with her. But this 60% of restore members being fought. Lauren, I mean, if anything, that's a defense for Rupert. He can be like, well, what a diverse party we've got. You know, we've got so many Pakistanis. We've got so many Bangladeshis and Somalians in Restore.
Starting point is 01:04:59 I don't know. I get the feeling when I see Restore members talking on Twitter, not many of them are from the Horn of Africa. I get more of a sort of, you know, Connor Tomlinson by from most of them. They feel classically British, classically English. So, yeah, I mean, maybe maybe this was, maybe, maybe, this was something that was misinterpreted in good faith. But I know there is a, there is a, there's not good blood between reform and restore. And a lot of people enjoy the soap opera between
Starting point is 01:05:31 them. I think like you, I just wish to settle their differences. I know it's, I know it's been tough. I know, I know Rupert doesn't feel that he's been treated well. What with the, what with all the allegations of what was it bullying? And he had to, his guns were taken away from him and all this kind of stuff. His view is that Zia Yusuf and Nigel I've literally tried to lock him up, and that is pretty unforgivable. And then it's quite interesting where Gb News fits into all of this too, because over the weekend, and this was summarised this way by Basil the Great, the reform chairman David Bull appeared to admit that Rupert Lowe is banned from GB News.
Starting point is 01:06:10 He put up this post for less than five minutes before deleting it. David claimed the ban is an editorial decision, and Basil the Great asks, Why is the Chair of Reform UK saying this? Because Farage has banned Rupert Lowe. That's why. And this was the exact conversation where Rupert Lowe added, I used to come on Michelle Drewbree show all the time. I enjoyed it.
Starting point is 01:06:39 Then Farage banned me pathetic. Now, Leo, I'm not going to put you on the spot because I know you are a sometimes. contributed to Gb News, but I can talk to you about a conversation I had this weekend at the Freedom Festival, the Thatcher Freedom Festival, where the organizers, I don't know if they were playing some type of cruel trick on me, but at dinner, you know, you turn up and you don't get to choose where you sit. And sort of right next to me on the right hand side was Leila Cunningham, the woman who I had said
Starting point is 01:07:16 I won't vote for as mayor of London because she's Muslim well she didn't show she didn't show up maybe because she knew I was going to be there I don't know but right to the right of her not politically was my former colleague at GB News
Starting point is 01:07:31 Tom Harwood and I was like oh god okay well I talk about him on the show got to have to be up front let's just have a conversation and I did keep saying to him why is Rupert Lowe banned? Like, why are you not allowed to have Rupert Lowe on your show?
Starting point is 01:07:50 And he's like, well, it's not my show. Legally, there is an executive who is responsible for the output of that show, and I don't get to say which guests I have on. And I thought, okay, maybe that's fair enough. But at the same time, surely you should be arguing for that. You should be pushing for that. And I just don't believe that there isn't a channel-wide ban, given you have Rupert Lowe saying very openly to the G.B. News presenters, I want to come on. I want to talk to you about this. And how can you say that Rupert Lowe is not a significant figure, given his party, or given he's a sitting MP, and his party now has more members than the Conservatives? Yeah, but there's a long queue. I mean, I also want to be on GB News. So Rupert's in the queue behind me.
Starting point is 01:08:41 So you got to, you got to be this, this level, this standard, Rupert, if you want to get on GB News. Feel free to defend them, Leo, because I, you know, it's not often I have people defending GB News on. Feel free to defend them here. Oh, yeah, no, I'll absolutely defend GB News. And, you know, I don't think there's any, there's any secret that, you know, they've certainly given reform a platform that other channels haven't. I mean, you've got, Nigel Farage's got his own show on there. And I think it's been great.
Starting point is 01:09:12 What we've got to understand, because I mean, I really feel that the next election might be the last chance to fix this country, to change the direction of this country so that we can save it. I think things are that bad, unless you want to live in some sort of, you know, Islamified communist dystopia where, you know, eventually your grandchildren are going to end up wearing burkas or being executed in stadiums. And that's by the leftists, you know, I mean, that's never mind what the Islamists will do. I think this next election is the last chance we've got. And Nigel Farage, I'm sorry for everybody else out there. Nigel Farage is the man out there with the electoral recognition to get into power. And he's carrying, he's doing that difficult job of carrying the vase across the floor without dropping it, without breaking it. And, you know, Rupert, as much as I love Rupert and agree with him.
Starting point is 01:10:02 And I wish, man, I wish Rupert was still in reform. I just wish, and Ben, I'm Bipa, I wish they're all still in reform. I think not that there's many flaws with what the reform have done, but this instant sort of throwing out of people who challenge or any talent. I think you've got to build a broad church. You can see what, you know, Keir Starmor did with Labor. He didn't, I mean, he did actually strip out a lot of the far left elements. But still, you've got to build a broad church.
Starting point is 01:10:34 And I think reform would be stronger if it still had Rupert and Ben. inside that tent. And it's a real shame they're not there. But Farage is the guy who's going to be elected prime minister and the next election. I think that's just that's just a fact. Maybe the electoral cycle after that, maybe then Rupert can can step in. And, you know, I think restore and advance and the other parties, they've got, they've got a part to play, you know, holding reform in position and making sure reform don't, you know, become too, too, too. lefty, two centrist, and also, you know, developing policy that can then be used by reform. But Nigel Farage is going to be the next prime minister. And so I can understand why people
Starting point is 01:11:21 who want to see that happen will also do things that perhaps limit the opportunities of other parties. By the way, someone did actually take a picture. It was Lucy Connolly took a picture of one of my clashes with Tom Harwood during. dinner. And I feel sorry for this guy in the middle, right? Great guy. He's Jonathan Brown, and he runs the Centre for a Better Britain. But you know, he used to be the chief operating officer of Reform UK. And he was one of the people who was sacked by Zia Yusuf. But I think Jonathan was just quite shocked by Tom Howard and I just ranting at each other. Because we have lots of different views about things. And it was very funny because, you know, I've focused quite a bit on this show
Starting point is 01:12:08 about the tensions between Tom Harwood and Nana are queer on their GBI News show. And then Nana showed up and found that she was sat to the other side of Tom Harwood, which she wasn't happy about. So it was very amusing, very amusing time at the Margaret Thatcher Freedom Festival. But we were all there for the greater good. And the thing that I should say about the Thatcher Freedom Festival, it is not connected to any political party, which you know is something really important to me.
Starting point is 01:12:38 So there were people there who were obviously old school conservatives and thatch rights, Reform UK people like Layla Cunningham, who didn't show up to dinner, maybe because she didn't want us the next to be, but also people who are supporters of Restore Britain and Advance. And one of the panel discussions was actually about how can the right be united in Britain? I think at the moment that is a tough ask. So can I just tell you, this microphone is. real, okay? This microphone actually works. And the reason I'm in a studio like this and not a posh TV,
Starting point is 01:13:20 you know, big, you know, sweeping desk with all of the Rasmataz behind me is because I was cancelled from that mainstream media. I was sacked because I wasn't prepared to go along with the narrative. So it's quite fascinating for me sitting back and watching mainstream media organisations, which are backed by billionaires, which literally have hundreds and millions of dollars of revenue coming in, but also have millions and millions of viewers switching off, try to fake being podcasts in order to win over a new audience. because the thing that I have to tell the mainstream media is that people aren't watching podcasts like Outspoken because of this microphone or because of my homely little studio. They're watching podcasts like Outspoken because we have the conversations that you refuse to have.
Starting point is 01:14:28 We have on the guests who you have long cancelled. And because we talk without scripts. without auto queues, without billionaire, nefarious figures pulling the strings, we talk from the heart. And that's my preface to tell you about what CNN is doing in America. But by the way, it's not just CNN that has been faking it. I mean, you know I've been speaking on the show over the past few weeks about this flop TV host in the United Kingdom called Vanessa Felt, who has a Channel 5 talk show, but look at this. Sorry, this cracks me up so much. That microphone is fake. It's totally fake. So she's actually wearing a real TV microphone on her lapel. But they put in a fake
Starting point is 01:15:20 microphone because it's like, oh, we're going to pretend that this is a podcast. It's ludicy. And now CNN, the CNN, you know, once the most storied news organization in the world, once the place that all of us would turn, no matter where we were on the political spectrum, if there was a major terror attack like 9-11, or we wanted to see the start of the war in Iraq, or we wanted to watch the overnight election results of Gore versus Bush and 2000 drag-on for 23 days.
Starting point is 01:15:53 We would turn to CNN, right, but we don't anymore. And we never will, because we know that CNN, like all mainstream media organizations, are run by partisan shills, trying to push a message rather than tell the truth. But CNN, which has been in a death spiral now for years and has had various corporate ownerships which have been unable to save it from almost certain irrelevance, has now decided that its solution is to stop using the TV studios, which have cost them literally tens of millions of dollars in a field,
Starting point is 01:16:32 the most astonishing technology and plant their hosts in their offices or in the newsroom without a tie and with a microphone like this because that's the way that they're going to get the viewers back by effectively faking it, pretending to be a podcast. As Dylan Byers of Pucked revealed, CNN has been experimenting with new formats this week, including Anderson Cooper in rolled-up sleeves, massive desk microphones and a physical mask. channeling early Edward R. Murrow era broadcast. Experiment will continue today with Jake Tapper broadcasting from his office. Now the post-millennial reported that Tapper said that the move to the office was an experiment with the new format, but it comes as CNN has been falling in the ratings
Starting point is 01:17:23 with analysis revealing that it experienced a month-to-month decline in viewership in the month of February by 3% overall, with adults 25 to 54, while Fox News and the recently renamed MS Now, formerly MSNBC, have increased gains in viewership. Now, Anderson Cooper, I found it weird, I'm not going to lie, but I can sort of see why it works. They're saying, this is for the war, so we're going to go to the heart of the newsroom. watch this. So you're probably wondering what's going on, why we're in... But with this attack, that calls all of that into question.
Starting point is 01:18:08 Why do you think President Trump would say to, according to the reporting, to say to the Israelis to stop going after these kind of facilities? So I think, you know, at the end of the day, we want to free up the streets of Hormuz for navigation and traffic just to get the oil and gas back out. And if the infrastructure is destroyed on the back end, then there is no oil and gas to export, even if the straits are opened up. So I think the president was comfortable. Okay, like, whatever, it's not going to save you, but fine.
Starting point is 01:18:33 You don't want to use your Flash Studio. Can you donate it to me? Because, like, I would very happily be in there. But the one that was fucking bonkers, right? Like, totally insane. Was Jake Tapper, a weirdo who has pretended not to be a partisan shill for the last decade while pushing deranged anti-Donald Trump rhetoric on? who decided to bring viewers into his office, which is just the weirdest office I have ever seen in my life.
Starting point is 01:19:07 Like the office of a man who clearly had serious personality flaws. Watch this. So you're probably wondering what's going on, why we're in my office for the first hour of the lead today. So it's an experiment. This is my actual desk where I do my actual work, not the desk in the studio, and we thought we would bring you into the space where me and my team do our actual journalism and plan the show every day. So here we are giving it a shot. You might also be wondering about the decor, the posters and the kerchiefs and such on my wall. Well, the theme is these are all losing presidential campaigns. And this hobby started 26 years ago after I covered my very first presidential campaign in the year 2000. Campaining and hopping from bus to
Starting point is 01:19:52 plane to bus to plane, I collected the lawn signs and posters of all the candidates I covered. And by the end of the election. I had a really great collection of, well, losers. And there's an autographed Gore Lieberman won from 2000. So anyway, this all became a hobby. Here, come back to me here. You'll see, this is one of the grand achievements in my collection. It's an Al Smith poster. He lost in 1928, Democrat to Herbert Herbert. Republicans, too, on the wall here. and from the modern era, there's autographed Romney and Ryan from 2012, autographed McCain, Palin from 2008. The oldest one in the corner there, 1844, that's Henry Clay of the Wigs.
Starting point is 01:20:35 And beneath that, you have the 2000 butterfly ballot voting booth and a Jake Tapper Muppet from a viewer. Okay, so Leo Curse, who was also in this new podcast world, first thing we learned, Jake Tapp is a weirdo, not necessarily a major surprise, but it's like they've totally missed the point, haven't they? It doesn't matter if you've got the same content, the same MSM guests, the same TDS, all broadcasting from an office outside the very posh and fancy studio. It makes no difference. It's the content that matters, not the optics, not the fact that you've got a microphone like this,
Starting point is 01:21:17 than a lapel. Yeah, this feels like, you know, when a corporation, a big food corporation has some sort of food product that's mass produced in some concrete warehouse, and then on the picture, on the box, they decide to put a picture of a farmyard and, you know, like has authentically been made on the knees of a, you know, a maiden. And it's not, you know, that pizza you're getting from farm foods was made in a warehouse on the outskirts of Birmingham. It wasn't, you know, it hasn't been flown in from the French Alps. You know, the mozzarella wasn't lovingly sprinkled on by some authentic, rustic,
Starting point is 01:21:56 old chef or whatever. And this feels like they're trying to rebrand what they've got. And what they've got is, you know, a multi-million dollar funded mainstream media, media colossus. You know, it's, you know exactly what it's going to be spouting. You know exactly who it's affiliated with, you know, we're talking about channels being affiliated with the reform. Well, we know that CNN is, you know, in lockstep with the, with the Democrats. But they've got to try and make it seem more authentic and trustworthy. So the way you do
Starting point is 01:22:27 that is to strip away all the big shiny studios, the big shiny floor studios and all the lights and everything. And you make it seem like it's just like, hey, it's just some guy, some authentic guy who's broadcasting from his garage that, you know, he got some, he got some wood paneling off of B&Q and, and has stuck it off. up on the wall. He's got a light from Argos and stuck it there. And look how rustic and authentic this pizzeria is. And no, man, this is the same. This is the same mass produced slop with an absolute agenda. There's full of things that are going to be very bad for your political health. Oh, very, very bad. But what I think is great is that no one buys this. It's certainly not
Starting point is 01:23:11 going to work, but it's just going to be very enjoyable to what? Because, you know, very soon, you know, Tom Bradby will be out of the ITVs. You know, you'll see Susanna Reid in her dressing room. This isn't going to work. It's not going to work. No one's going to buy it. But we are going to see it happen. And all of a sudden, these protected individuals who have relied for years on being surrounded
Starting point is 01:23:39 by 50 people who write their scripts and book them limousines and take their dry cleaning in are actually all of a sudden going to be exposed to the real world. And I think it's a great thing. I think it's a great thing. So I'm laughing. I'm laughing basically, Leo. But look, do stand by because we're about to reveal today's greatest Britain and Union Jackass. But first, I just want to get to some of your feedback.
Starting point is 01:24:00 14 barbers says on John Terry, maybe he could be the defense minister. See what you did there. I like that. He's, of course, supporting restore Britain. Helen Knoad says, Slippri Starmer & Co, telling people to calm down is really like taking fire safety. Advice from an arsonist well put on the terror attack in North London. Mirror 893 says this is IRGC. They were saying they would attack cold as green. And of course the IRGC, as I said at the top of the digest today, not a prescribed terror organisation in the United Kingdom, just like the Muslim Brotherhood is not. On these mass displays of domination throughout the United Kingdom by Islamists on Eid, Zoe 355 says, where are all the women? Take note women. Salarian Unlimited says these are mass
Starting point is 01:24:52 public congregations of faith and yet single person standing in silent prayer are arrested outside termination clinics. You couldn't make it up. And Darren Holmes makes the very good point that Pakistanis and Lancashire and Yorkshire were also doing their public prayers in public. It is not just London and Birmingham. And absolutely it's not. This is the point that I'm making. This Islamist takeover is coming. to where you are if you are in the United Kingdom, and that is what is so terrifying about it. And the mainstream media can ignore it, or they won't, all they want. But soon, it will be showing up in their street. A reminder of today's Union Jackass nominees, Matthew Wright, nominated by Leo
Starting point is 01:25:34 for shutting down criticism of Islam. He's also gone for Louis Theroux for focusing on the manosphere while ignoring Islam. And I've gone for wed streeting the House Secretary for his crocodile tears over today's terror attack while trying to appease Islamists. And the results are in. In third position, Louis Theroux with 15% of the vote. The runner-up, Wes Streeting with 38% of the vote. But congratulations, Leo. Today's union jackass with 47% of the vote. I do endorse this heartily though. Matthew, right. I mean, he is first, you know, I used to have to work with this guy, Leo. He is the worst person I ever had to work with at talk when it was talk radio. And he used to not allow me to enter the studio even once his show had finished. And it was very, very weird. So he's a very weird guy. And do you
Starting point is 01:26:26 remember as well when he grew that rat's tail? I think we've got a photo of it. It was during COVID and he ended up having this very long rat's tail off the back of his head. Yeah. Yeah, like that. Oh, that is, that looks like he's going to sell an eight the weed outside Camden Station. Yes, absolutely. So now, I fully endorse this. Leo Kirst, thank you so much. When does your tour open and where can people buy tickets? So the tour starts this Friday in Rotherham,
Starting point is 01:26:53 and I'm also coming to Dudley, Stafford, lots of places, Gosport, places I don't even know where they are on the map, but you can get tickets at leo-kirs.com, and it's a killer show. I'm genuinely a good comedian, not to blow one trumpet, but, you know, I've been reviewed five stars and stuff. I've also been cancelled lots. So there's going to be stuff I can't get away with online,
Starting point is 01:27:12 live. I have seen Leo Curse live and it is quite something. So I heartily recommend the tour. Leo, good luck. We will speak to you very soon. Thank you so much for being here today. But today's Greatest Britain is a sad one, actually, because we lost her over the weekend. Dame Jenny Murray. And much of what has been said about this broadcasting Titan by the mainstream media and the leftist elites over the past few days has been totally disingenuous because it has erased why Dame Jenny Murray, the Women's Hour Legend, was cancelled from the British Bashing Corporation. And of course, she was cancelled because she stood up for the rights of biological women. And Dame Jenny Murray has a very special place in my heart too. Because when I was launching GB News, I can't tell you how difficult it was to get
Starting point is 01:28:11 people on the show. I mean, now, anyone on the right and the political establishment and reform and the Tories and everything, they line up to go on GB News. But when we first launched, it wasn't like that. GB News was treated as a bit of a joke. And I tried every single day, just like I do without spoken, to get the right people on and interesting people on and people who had something to say on. And one of the first people who committed to the show, and she actually became one of my favorite regular guests was Dame Jenny Murray because that meant a lot to me at a time when G.B. News was being criticized, when I was personally being criticized, and yet here she was this absolute veteran legend of broadcasting. And so to celebrate Dame Jenny Murray today, given that so many of
Starting point is 01:28:59 her eulogies have erased this very important chapter of her life, in some ways I would argue the most important chapter of her life. The fact that she put her career to one side in order to stand up for biological women. I wanted to play you part of one of our interviews where she explained why she was so ready to do that. What had made me so cross at this whole question of what is a real woman, you know, is a trans woman, a woman? And then the whole language, started to change and it was suddenly chest feeding and not breastfeeding and I thought hang on a minute no you know they can't change the language that we have lived with for years and that's what really made me cross at the beginning and as
Starting point is 01:29:56 things have gone on I have got crosser and crosser and more and more surprised because none of us have been horrible about trans people we've said You know, as J.K. running said, absolutely clearly at the beginning, you know, love who you want, go to bed with who you want, if they'll have you. We don't care about that, but do be clear that there is a difference between sex and gender and stop trying to ease us, women, who've fought so hard for our rights, out of our safe spaces. And this campaign has the most brilliant title. I think I've ever heard. Whoever thought that up was a genius. Respect my sex if you want my ex.
Starting point is 01:30:48 In other words, my ex on the ballot paper. Dame Jenny Murray, you legend. And thank you so much for supporting my show when you really didn't have to admit the world to me. What a loss. Gone far too soon. I think she was... 74. Yeah, far too soon.
Starting point is 01:31:12 Okay, we're going to move over to Substack now for the Royal Uncanceled After Show Princess Beatrice's marriage on the Rocks after she stood by her father, Andrew Mountbatten, Windsor, as Sarah Ferguson is shamed for her sick TV bid to clone the late Queens Corgis.
