Starting point is 00:00:00 This is more good on censored. Knife crime and shoplifting are at epidemic levels. How do we tackle the deadly breakdown and respect for authority? Bambi's on ice because of, yes, snowflakes, Disney's remake of the cartoon classic, could cut its famous death scene because, you guessed it, it's too triggering for sensitive young modern audiences. But isn't exactly the kind of pandering that makes everyone so sensitive in the first place? We'll discuss.
Starting point is 00:00:26 Plus the superstar power lifter, April Hutchinson, Faye's has been kicked to out of her sport because she had the audacity to complain about competing with biological men. Tonight she's speaking out, she joins me live. Live from the news building in London, this is Pearce Morgan Unsencent. Well, good evening, you in London. Welcome to Pierce Morgan Unsense. We spend a lot of time in this country wringing our hands about American gun violence. How can this be happening in 2023? We asked repeatedly, tragedy after tragedy, why does it seem like nothing ever gets done? Well, guns aren't widely available in Britain.
Starting point is 00:01:05 but knives are, and we increasingly have a deadly and terrifying recurring problem of our own. Last week, 15-year-old Elian Andham was stabbed to death at a bus stop in Croydon, London. She was just trying to get to school. Last week, there were two other stabbings of that one tiny corner of London, and yet, clearly the capital has a specific and serious problem with knife crime. It's not just London. A 16-year-old boy was stabbed to death in Luton last week. Five teenagers were wounded in two shocking knife attacks there on the same day.
Starting point is 00:01:35 This weekend, there was a triple stabbing in Halifax. Two young people are dead. One, 21, the other just 19. Two members stabbed a death in Leeds. Barely a day passes without more of this bloodshed. And this is the kind of response we get every time. My number one priority, and I think that keeps me up at night, is the safety of Londonness. So it's not just about policing.
Starting point is 00:01:58 It's not just about stop and search. So that's fantastically important. It's also about wrapping your arms around the kids and putting them on the right track. The death of anyone through an act of violence is an appalling tragedy. I want to say how shocked and saddened I am that three people have lost their lives.
Starting point is 00:02:18 It's just words, isn't it? Just word salad, putting arms around them. Is that going to stop kids stabbing each other? It's not, is it? We all know that. For all the condolences and the talk of getting tough. The fact is the people who want to hurt us and longer fear the consequences if they do.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Police numbers are down, budgets have been slashed, they've stopped taking everyday crimes even remotely seriously. When the Home Secretary announced last month that police must investigate all thefts, it was supposed to be a huge innovation. My question would be, what the hell were they doing before? Shoplifting is now out of control in Britain. Stores thefts are more than doubled,
Starting point is 00:02:52 and they're only getting worse. In America, it's the same issue, emboldened by absurd policies on not prosecuting minor offenders, shoplifting, especially of the steaming variety with dozens and dozens of shoplifters entering a store at one time, has become an epidemic. It's little wonder that Donald Trump got an ovation over the weekend for saying this.
Starting point is 00:03:12 And we will immediately stop all of the pillaging and theft. Very simply, if you rob a store, you can fully expect to be shot as you are leaving that store. I don't think shooting shoplifters is the right response. I don't think guns are the right response, but there does need to be a response. We're dealing with a systematic breakdown of fear, respective authority at the very same time as a failing economy
Starting point is 00:03:36 means desperate people are more willing to risk more. The result is chaos, fear and tragedy. It's got to stop. So the question is how? We're joining me now, this my pack, talk to if you contributor to Esther Cracker, the socialist author Grace Blakely, political journalist Ava Santina. And for the US perspective, the former wrestler and Fox News star, Tyrus, well, welcome to all of you. Taras, let me start with you.
Starting point is 00:03:59 What is causing all this? In America, young people, invading stalls with total impunity because they know there's no real consequence. Here we have an endemic now of knife crime, young kids stabbing each other. America has obviously ongoing huge gun violence problems. The common theme in all of them is there is a, in my opinion,
Starting point is 00:04:22 a smaller and smaller estimation by the people carrying out all this stuff that there will be any real accountability for it. Well, and you're brilliant as always, but here's the thing. We got two things in common. We have knives in England and we have guns in America,
Starting point is 00:04:40 two very different violent weapons. But what we have in common is we have awful people. We have horrible parenting. Grandparents are afraid of their grandchildren. A complete breakdown of our consequences for our children which starts at home.
Starting point is 00:04:54 We've got the bulldozer parents in America where if a kid does something at school, they want the teacher fired, not the child punished. And you can see that when they're growing up and now you have no consequences. When they are arrested, they're released in America. If you steal, I think it's like $500 to $900 to $900 American, it's not considered a crime anymore. So that's the biggest problem is that we have to start realizing it's not the weapons
Starting point is 00:05:18 and the utilities they use. If we took knives away in England, they'd probably use trucks and cars or bats. It's horrible people. We have awful people in this first world that we, and they have so many things they can do. They don't have to work hard for anything. And there's no consequences. These are first world problems coming back to bite us in countries that are successful. Because in third world countries and things like that, when you steal, when you do horrible things, there are real consequences. You steal a lot. You lose a hand in some cases. So just the idea of that will refrain people. But right now, our kids across the sea in America basically feel they can do whatever they want. And there's no parenting. It's horrible parenting. Right. All right,
Starting point is 00:05:59 Grace, I can see a lot of facial expressions going on there. There have always been horrible people. You know, it's very easy to look at this situation and say, oh, it's just because we've suddenly been giving birth to loads more horrible people. That obviously isn't the case. If we look at this, you know, just objectively, if we look at the facts, if we look at the statistics, the studies on what causes violent crime, the single biggest predictor across the board of levels of violent crime
Starting point is 00:06:21 across time and space is inequality. Why? It's not just because people are poorer and they want, you know, to access more stuff. That is a problem. it's because in a society that denies particularly young men access to advancement, then violent crime becomes something of a status symbol. This is born out across sociological studies across time and space. It becomes, you know, there's an incentive to kind of steal, kill someone to steal their trainers because it becomes a status symbol.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Because we haven't got those roots for advancement of the young men. I mean, Tyrus touched on a point in saying that in third world countries, you don't necessarily have this problem because there are actual social consequences, which I think is an important point he touched on. When I was a kid growing up in Ghana, if you stole something in our neighborhood, it doesn't matter who finds out, whether it's your neighbor or someone else, once your family gets to know, there will be consequences. Sometimes your neighbor might discipline you.
Starting point is 00:07:07 The issue here is a breakdown of legal and social consequences, and that's what we're missing. I agree, actually. There has to be ostracization and actual social consequences for stealing, but there also has to be legal penalties, real ones are actually telephying. I mean, I've got to say, I've come around. I mean, Tara's talked about third world countries. You look at someone like Singapore or Hong Kong,
Starting point is 00:07:26 I've walked the streets of these places at midnight, right? You just don't get this kind of stuff there because the penalties, if you do, are severe. And I keep being told by the wishy-washy brigade, Ava, look, you know, you can't be too tough on these kids, you've got to be... Actually, why? Why don't we just say, right, the next time a young kid is caught with a knife on the street, they get 10 years in prison?
Starting point is 00:07:50 I can tell you, it would soon stop. And it may sound like I'm... I've morphed into a right-wing heckbanger. I can assure you most people in this country would share that sentiment. So why aren't we doing tougher things like that? Well, I don't know. The extreme of your argument is we turn into Saudi Arabia and then we just throw away anyone who might, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:07 look like they're committing a crime or then we execute them. I'm not saying that. I'm talking about people carrying a knife with intent to use it, not for cutting up their cheddar cheese. And then on your point there, about 10 years, well, we've got a prison system at the moment that doesn't work. It doesn't rehabilitate people. And at the moment, we are turfing people out.
Starting point is 00:08:22 Sorry, we're throwing them into prison and they're coming up the other side. and they're not rehabilitating. They're going back to commit more questions. How are you going to stop the kids stabbing? I think it goes back to what grace is. I think it's a social issue. I think that we've got to really tackle inequality.
Starting point is 00:08:35 We've got to look at this long term, rather than thinking, what's a short-term solution and lock everyone up and throw away the key? Hang on, hang on, hang on. I'll come to a lesson. Look, inequality seems to me, with great respect, one of those vacuous generic terms, like a sort of catch-all excuse for what is going on here.
Starting point is 00:08:53 I know lots of kids who come from poor backgrounds who do not go around stabbing people because their parents, and this can apply, by the way, to lower class people, to middle class people, to so-called upper-class people. I went to a fee-paying school until I was 13, then-state comprehensive school. I've seen all manner of people, right?
Starting point is 00:09:14 And parents, the common theme of kids that behaved well or at least felt shame and accountability if they were caught doing bad things was strong parents. Right? Teachers, yes, and authority, yes, but actually strong parenting. I've just explained to you the... But that's not about equality. No, it is. It's about the mechanism through which equality, inequality affects violent crime.
Starting point is 00:09:37 It's not about equality. You can say, for example, you know, not every kid who's been in institutional care is going to end up on the streets. But we know, statistically speaking, that children who've been in institutional care are much more likely to end up on the streets. Are you promoting strong families? What I'm saying is there is a clear... and causal link between the things that happened to you as a child. That accounts for things like whether or not you're in a strong community, whether or not you're in a strong family,
Starting point is 00:10:01 but also supporters of something, you have you, and what happens to you when you're a dog? I would say things like successive governments, Labour and Conservatives selling off playing fields by the dozen, right? Cutting back on sport, cutting back, I did a documentary on hoodies, right? Kids that wear hoodies and commit a lot of crime. And a lot of these kids, when I interviewed them,
Starting point is 00:10:21 said, well, there are no, like, youth clubs anymore, right? just shut them all down. So there's nothing else to do. They get bored. But it's also the internet, isn't it? Like, I don't want to sound like some sort of like draconian figure. But, you know, it is the rise of social media. And if you were in an algorithm and you're on TikTok or Instagram
Starting point is 00:10:34 that is promoting violence to you, you do sit in an echo chain. Let me bring in Taurus, because you've been listening to this, Taurus. I think you want to add some more on this. Hey, let me just say this again. She has absolutely no idea what she's talking about with all due respect. Which one? Because it could be one of course. I think you're talking about me.
Starting point is 00:10:53 You've got to narrow it down here. It's the community. That's what has broken down. They're spoiled. Everyone spends all their time on social media and Facebooks, and they say, oh, it's in quality. I grow up in Lynn, Massachusetts, ghetto slum USA. But you know what? We had strong families and parents, and we were poor, but we didn't act poor. We worked hard. We paid our dues, and we got things together. Now, everyone makes excuses. If your kid's bad, he's not a bad child. You're not a bad parent. He has something wrong with him that you can't correct. So it has nothing to do with inequality. That's just a good answer from First World Virtue Signalling Elis to say, because you can't fix that. Everyone is an important. I'm going to say, Taras, probably long overdue that Grace Blakely was called it. Every woman on that ban had some form of inequality. It's ridiculous. I agree with you.
Starting point is 00:11:39 It's bad people being raised by lazy people. I agree. It's high time Grace Blakely was called a First World Elite as well. It's not been waiting for that taunt. Look, I've got to say, I agree with Tyros. No, simply saying it's just saying it's inequality. It's so much easy. How do you explain? Lock them up, throw away the queen.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Look how tough I am. How do you explain? Grace. Cut of your hand if you. I can give you easy. How do you explain? It's not a little sure of reason. How do you explain if it's all about inequality that so many people who have very little in life in this country do not commit these crimes?
Starting point is 00:12:13 Because it is about a whole set of factors that determine, you know, the way in which you were raised and then the kind of characteristics you have where you grow up. Look, again, it's the same thing. It's what I just said. Let me give you an example. that children who grow up in institutional care are much more likely to then go out onto the streets, end up on the streets, end up homeless, end up, taking drugs, end up interacting with the criminal justice system.
Starting point is 00:12:32 That isn't to say that every kid who has a, you know, who is in institutional care is going to end up that way. But we know that if you don't experience love, community support, that is the biggest point here is culture, because I can paint two different pictures here. If we look at the black community in the UK, you actually look at the sort of the rates of criminality amongst black African children
Starting point is 00:12:51 compared to black Caribbean children, and there's a huge disparity. And one of the biggest reasons is because of culture, because some kids in one particular group grew up with church-going families with strong values. You know, if you go and carry a knife around and your Nigerian mother finds you, you will probably get slapped across the face.
Starting point is 00:13:07 And you have the other side of the spectrum that don't actually have that. And you can see huge disparities there. So it actually comes down to culture. I don't disagree with you, but the question is how do we then build supportive cultures? You have to change. You have to actually build communities.
Starting point is 00:13:20 It means investing in communities. I agree. We've just said the same thing. Public health issues. But you also have to penalise criminality in a very severe way. There is no reason why someone should be able to carry a knife on the street
Starting point is 00:13:33 and they get a slap on the wrist. What happens when they come out the other side and they find themselves homeless and they don't have any money? What do they do? Next time you're not going to carry around a knife then, are you? No, but you are going to commit another crime? I mean, in the US, you can get literally shot
Starting point is 00:13:44 or asphyxiated just for failing to stop for police cars. There's still the epidemic of knife crime here. It can, but you know what worries me about the knife crime? It's getting worse here and they're acting with more impunity and more kids are carrying knife. So at some point, we've got, as a society, yes, we can lecture the Americans about their gun violence, and I've done that many times. And there's just gun violence, it's police violence.
Starting point is 00:14:03 I think it's nuts, they don't do more. I also think it's nuts, we don't do more about knife violence here. I mean, look, the Americans literally give police forces so much money. They give them, like, assault rifles, these massive weapons, you know, weapons that are used in literal states of war, and yet that isn't solving the problem. Because you cannot just solve the problem. They're not threatening to kill people. All right, let's move on to another active uncontrollable violence. So Bambi is being re-done.
Starting point is 00:14:29 And it's after the break, apparently. We're going to talk about Bambi and why the death scene, Bambi's mom cops it, is now being written out because you guessed it, people are going to get triggered. Little sensitive snowflakes can't deal with an actual death. God help them. What would they do in the real world when people actually die for real? Anyway, we'll debate that after the break.
Starting point is 00:15:02 We're joined again by Jordan Peterson. I get a sense of somebody quite angry with the state of the world. I'm absolutely appalled that the globalist, utopian elitists, would sacrifice the poor to save the planet. This war on the patriarchy, what are your thoughts on that? Females who are antisocial use reputation, savaging, bullying, and exclusion to gain their narcissistic pathway forward. How do you feel about that influence that you have?
Starting point is 00:15:27 You better be careful. We're coming for your children there, buddy. Let's just get it on the table. Do you believe in God? I don't think that's anybody's business. For some reason, you're reluctant to say. It's too complicated an issue to be dealt with like that. Now, you did it again, you got me again.
Starting point is 00:15:43 What could be worse than dying? Being a prison guard at Auschwitz. How much sex is optimal? Depends on how the date goes, man, you should know that. This is so interesting. Maybe it's worth sticking around for and trudging through the misery just to see how it ends. Welcome back to Pierce.
Starting point is 00:16:08 That is a brilliant interview with Jordan Peterson. It was a year ago I first interviewed him, but it airs tomorrow night and Wednesday night. It's a double header. The first half is me and Jordan one-on-one. You just saw some of the clips from that. It's fantastic with the most brilliant mind, really, and fascinating mind and a challenging mind.
Starting point is 00:16:27 So whatever you think of him, tune in, and you'll be surprised. And then his daughter joins. She's become a huge star as well, Michaela. And part two on Wednesday night will be the two of them together. And what's really interesting about that is the way they interact with each other. So a two-parter, the Peterson's, two of the most famous and influential people in the world right now. And on Thursday, another surprise and we'll tease that a little later in the program. Well, Disney's Bambi is led his victim of the Woke Wall on Culture,
Starting point is 00:16:55 a screenwriter hired to remake the classic, says the movie's most famous scene in which Bambi's mother sadly dies could be scrapped as this triggering for modern-day parents and their children. She elaborated in this interview with Collider. What's interesting about Bambi to me is it absolutely is a classic. It's such a gorgeous film. It's a little bit different tempo than I think modern audiences are used to. And I also think there's a treatment of the, not to spoil the plot, but there's a, there's a treatment of the mom dying that I think some kids, some parents these days are more sensitive about than they were in the past. And I think that's one of the reasons that they haven't shown it to their children.
Starting point is 00:17:35 But our take on it was, did give a little bit more of a scope to it. And I just think that to be able to bring it to life for kids these days in a way that maybe they relate to a little bit more would be of service to the original. How should you get a fear when I order venison from my dinner tonight? Children are facing an epidemic of anxiety apparently. Maybe because we feel the need to protect them so ridiculously much all the time. Now from Bambi to discuss this. I'm joined by Outkick host, Tony Lairn, the author for the case for Council Culture.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Ernest Owens, welcome to both of you from across the pond. All right, Ernest, you've defended the indefensible a few times on this program, but come on, for goodness sake, we're going to try and airbrush the reality of Bambi's mom getting slotted. What's the matter with you? Well, there's nothing wrong with me. I think that the reality is that as society evolves, we should also think about, you know, the impact. You know, we are in a different type of world now. You know, there's a lot of violence on TV.
Starting point is 00:18:37 There's a lot of groteseness. And I think that this classic film should be seen with a different perspective for kids. I think that the death scene isn't necessarily the thing that they should be fixated on. I think there's something to be said about how, you know, children deal with death and deaf scenes compared to adults like you and I. And I think that this is a very smart move. I think it's a move that is considerate. I think that it shows progress. And I think, to be honest, you know, I think some parents would wrap.
Starting point is 00:19:06 have that conversation with their children and privacy of their home, rather than having these films, you know, kind of traumatized. Ernest, what's next? You're going to remake jewels and make sure these sharks doesn't eat anyone? Okay, someone's triggered and can't go swimming. It's nuts. Tommy, this is just nuts, isn't it? It's nuts, and I would also like to say,
Starting point is 00:19:27 I wish they would stop remaking Disney classics. We talked about this. I think a couple months back, this remake, the Snow White, they have to make it for woke audiences. Does Disney really not have any other ideas? Can they not come up with anything new that they have to remake all the classics? So that's my first point on it.
Starting point is 00:19:44 And second of all, I believe in protecting children. I just find it quite interesting that the same woke liberals that are worried about this hunting scene in Bambi have no problem exposing children to gay porn and LGBTQ themes, telling them that they are born in the wrong body, encouraging them to be non-binary.
Starting point is 00:20:03 I mean, really, I'm waiting for this Bambi remake to have Bambi, as a trans deer or maybe the mother died from climate change. So again, the things of the left and the liberals are triggered by always astounds me. I think that there are far worse things you can expose children to that the left is exposing children to than a hunting scene that's actually a reality of life, especially here in the United States with a lot of hunters love it or hate it. That is a fact of where we are in this country.
Starting point is 00:20:31 And I think in many places around the world. Do you know what, Ernest, I think you've been persuaded by that argument. I can see you nodding away, fear of it. I think this is ridiculously homophobic and transphobic. I think, for starters, I'm gay, and me being here talking and exposing children to anything. But if I was to pull out a gun as a hunter and shoot a deer for a kid to see,
Starting point is 00:20:52 I think that's going to cause more harm to a child than just me just basically existing and living my life. Honest, honest, honest. I think it's ridiculous to make that conflation between, you know, gay porn to a deer being killed, when in reality, no one is. is actually promoting gay porn. No one from the left is encouraging that for children.
Starting point is 00:21:11 And to conflate those things in that way, it's intellectually dishonest and immature and problematic. Ernest, we literally had Snow White and the Seven Dwarves redone recently, and the air brushed all the dwarves out of the movie, right? Because apparently, they wanted to be inclusive. The people that didn't include were the actual dwarves who then now are out of work.
Starting point is 00:21:29 You can watch the old version. You know what you could do? You could, rather than whining about new things, you can just go and stay stuck in 1939, and watch the Disney animated film on Disney Plus. You could do that. I would love to, and other people can watch. And other people can watch...
Starting point is 00:21:43 I would love to. And then I can watch my Disney films... Because that's what we have. But Ernest, then I can watch my Disney films without people like you ruining them, right? I'm trying to pretend that some kids... Can't watch... Bambi's mom being killed.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Peers. I hear that... Pierce, I missed the old Pierce Borg, and I used to interview Beyonce and hang out with the Liberals in Hollywood and be nice. But now I have this new Pierce one that's unleashed. And guess what?
Starting point is 00:22:05 There's value in both. for some people. No, I'm one of the... We can have two things at the same time. I'm one of these ostracized liberals where I used to think I was liberal, and then the woke left came along, and I realized actually, by their yardstick,
Starting point is 00:22:19 I'm right of Attila the Hun. Because I think everything they do wrecks society. I really do. And when you go back and remake a Disney classic, and you presume that kids can't deal with the death of a deer, I think you've all gone mad.
Starting point is 00:22:33 But, peers, you're... No, peers, you're proving my point. Things evolve, right? And so there's a new version of you that you think has evolved. And this creator who's creating the Bambi film thinks this can evolve. And there's going to be people that say, I missed the Oatios Morgan. No, Ernest, you're missing the point. I want the old show in the CNN days.
Starting point is 00:22:48 No, I think that's the point. We can let two things exist. Just to be clear, I haven't evolved at all. I'm exactly the same as I always was. It's just the people I used to agree with have broadly gone mad. Tommy, the problem with this is it's a real slippery slope, I think. Once you start going after every classic, It's a bit like every historical figure.
Starting point is 00:23:07 They're all flawed. There's no American president in history who won't be cancelled by this yard state. There's no founding father that won't be canceled. There is no film that won't be canceled. They're dead. Hang on, Ernest. They're dead. Hang on, Ernest. This is a fictional film.
Starting point is 00:23:21 It doesn't know. Bambi's mother's dead, Ernest. Wake up. Tommy. This is for Tommy. They're dead. They're dead. I know they're dead. So is Bambi's mom. And she should stay dead.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Every time you watch the movie, Tommy. I also think, I also, tell me. I think that there are, you know, more problematic things to have to explain to children besides the death of animals. I think that that is the circle of life. I think we learned that in the Lion King. We learned that from a lot of Disney classics. But, you know, in the last segment, you were talking about the looting and the rioting and the shoplifting. Kids are exposed to that every single day, certainly in the United States.
Starting point is 00:23:58 And I don't hear liberals worried about them being exposed to that. They call that justice, right? but they're worried about a scene in which Bambi's mom dies? I mean, the priorities, again, to me, are so astounding. Yeah, I completely agree. The reach. The reach, the reach. The reach. You're conflating looters to people who don't want a Bambi scene.
Starting point is 00:24:20 Like, this is a reach. You should be stressed. Let's leave it on a reach. Ernest, always good to catch up with you. Tommy, great to see you too. Thank you both very much indeed. All right. You were sort of convulsing the three of you.
Starting point is 00:24:33 about this debate. But, Ava, at the heart of this debate lies my basic belief that we are, we're covering our kids in so much cotton wool, they are woefully ill-prepared for the real world. And I'll explain why. When we brought in participation prizes
Starting point is 00:24:49 for Sports Day, right? All that means is kids do not learn what losing involves, what not winning involves. You don't get participation prizes in the real world. You win, you lose, you lose a job, you get a job, whatever. there's no reality to this.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Now all the films are being sanitised because apparently kids can't deal with his... I'm fine. I watched all these films. It didn't turn me into some corrupted mass murder or make me flake out. It was a film that had that sad moment and your heart goes like that when you watch it.
Starting point is 00:25:22 What's wrong with allowing kids to watch the reality? Well, I don't agree with your first bit because we actually do have participation prizes in life and that is just not being best. We don't. That's not being number one. At not all times, are you number one? I can tell you, in this game you don't,
Starting point is 00:25:38 in the media you don't. No one gives you a prize of coming eighth or last. Maybe I would like one. No, no. The British Press Awards, for example, nobody, no newspaper gets an award for coming last. But can I say on your second point there, we actually already did soften these fairy tales.
Starting point is 00:25:52 You know, these all originate from Grimm's fairy tales. I like the grim version. But hang on, but you look at the Little Mermaid and that was Hans Christian Anderson, and it was a really gruesome tale. You know, we already did soften it down. I like gruesome tales. Yeah, but we already did soften them down.
Starting point is 00:26:04 So now when we're talking about, can I say? My daughter's nearly 12. She writes like really quite full on gruesome stuff, right? And it's fascinating. You've got a very creative mind, very febri-mine, very, you know, all over the place. But she writes really riveting things. But it's often based on fantastical stuff, right? This is what we all grew up with.
Starting point is 00:26:22 I just want to say, why are we trying to pretend the real world is a little thing. Someone at Disney is a marketing genius. Because they are in the news every week, every month. We've remade this show and the character is a different race, or we're cutting this scene, and it's going to really annoy Pierce Morgan, and it's going to be all over his show for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks. And even though he hates it,
Starting point is 00:26:45 Pierce Morgan is going to go to the cinema and he's going to watch that film, and everyone who watches his show is going to watch that show, is going to know that Bambi's coming out again, and it's going to make us tons and tons of money. If I can't watch Bambi's mother being killed, I'm not going to watch it. Esther? Horror story. Look, I wasn't a fan of Snow Bage and the Southern Gender
Starting point is 00:27:02 widgets or whatever it turned out to be. But, but, but, but I do think the overarching point is make new stories, for the love of God. Stop remaking them and just making them, you know, yellow and green and, you know, having one-legged Chinese trans person or whatever. Just make new stories.
Starting point is 00:27:18 And it's interesting to me, that Ernest was convinced that I have evolved to a new place on this stuff, right? I haven't. I'm exactly the same person. I've always been. But the sort of, the world that I thought the liberal world was about has changed so dramatic this woke stuff is completely mad most of the time.
Starting point is 00:27:36 I don't agree. I don't think you would have read your children the Grimm's fairy tales. Yes, of course I would. I'd gone for the nice softened version. Of course I would. You would have gone for the nice, because you'd like the soft version. And my kids, if we play sport, we played a win, right? I've never given them an inch. Now, the older ones beat me. Okay, good. They've learned the joy of beating their dad because I didn't let them ever win when they were kids.
Starting point is 00:27:57 I'd rather beat them 10-0 and let them win or score a goal. I mean, part of the problem with what we were discussing before this, whole knife prime epidemic is actually we do have this society that consistently tells people they're either winners or losers. It's on how much money they earn based on whether or not they have a good car and there are the same people who end up consistently on top as winners, the same people who end up consistently on top as losers
Starting point is 00:28:16 and the people who feel like they are losers because there are no paths for them to change their lives or to change anything about themselves end up basically taking their revenge either on themselves or on the rest of society. That is what you have when you have a society that is structured basically by telling people you're worth something and you're not working. So in your world, everyone's a winner.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Even if they're lazy, work-shy, don't put the shift in, they're still winners in your rights. No, my world is a world in which people are different and cannot be compared by weird little league tables that tell you if you have more money than you're a better person. I think money's got nothing to do with it. But it does. You know, we live in an incredibly material society. There are, for example, there are brilliant nurses where money is not... And they get paid nothing because we don't value them because we tell them that what they're doing isn't worth them. Money is not a comparative thing in a hospital. It's not. It's about how good you are as a nurse.
Starting point is 00:29:00 Why do you think people like Andrew Tate are up there being like, oh, I have. have loads of guns and loads of raindrovers and loads of women. And that makes me a good man. Andrew Trey has become hugely popular with young men because he is out there. He is out there for better or worse, and I think there are equal doses of both of him, for better or worse, he is a voice defending young men
Starting point is 00:29:19 when actually every other voice out at the moment attacks. Andrew Tate is a voice speaking to men with status anxiety, telling them, society tells you you're a loser because you can't get a job and you don't have any money. Buy a load of guns, abuse women, get a rangerover, and then you'll be worth something. And that's so dumb. Like, that's not how you create a good man.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Some of us just need the participation medal. That's just what we need. Some of us just need it, you know? You're not going to get one either. Inequality in society, I think there'll always be winners and losers, and I think it's the way we handle it. To say that actually, we need a society
Starting point is 00:29:49 that doesn't have winners or losers is quite funny. It's not that we need a society that don't win a loser. It's never going to be the case. Unfortunately, I now win because I get to stay on the show. You three lose because you're being removed from the show. And yet you'll invite us back anywhere. You know what?
Starting point is 00:30:00 Against my better judgment. Yes, I want. Well, lovely to see you all. Unsett's the next powerlifter, April Hutchinson, faces losing her career for speaking out on trans competitors in women's sport. Powerlifting. She's live in the studio next. Will I get a better interview roughing you up a bit?
Starting point is 00:30:28 Will I get the real Zlatan then? You want to play with fire? I will bring you fire, but I will burn you. When I say I am God, you think I'm joking or not? You tell me? I'm not joking. I can see you playing a Bond villain. I would smash Jane's Bond.
Starting point is 00:30:40 I'm very expensive. I don't work for free. Pet Guariole. You called him a coward with no balls. You said when you buy me, you're buying a Ferrari. I bring my f***a Ferrari. When you score a goal, is it better than sex? Sex is better.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Whoever thinks different, he has a problem with his sex. He should get help. Why have you never asked your partner, Elena, to marry you? I have. Amina Ryola, who died last year. It was a big loss because he was not only agent for me. He was everything.
Starting point is 00:31:05 I still missing. We're all missing. There's only one thing you got wrong. I didn't go to Arsenal. I don't do trials. No, no, you don't understand. I don't do trials. I'm the best. His own sensor.
Starting point is 00:31:16 B-Ick the rest. Welcome back to Uncissive. That is an unmissable exclusive interview. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, one of the most charismatic and best strikers that football has ever seen. Retired several months ago. This is his first big interview since then we had two hours together. We'll run the highlights of that in a special on Thursday night. And then the whole thing will be available after that.
Starting point is 00:31:45 It is a riveting watch. What a character. Well, a week ago, I interviewed two former. angling stars who quit the England women's team over a transgender teammate. They thought it had an unfair advantage. The sports international governing body has now ruled that male-born competitors cannot take on women because their physical power gives them an unfair advantage. So some common sense, again, prevailing in the world of women's sport.
Starting point is 00:32:08 But the fight continues in many other women's sports. Canadian power lifter April Hutchinson has taken a stand against trans women in her sport, facing a backlash for doing so. Well, now our videos emerged of her rival Anne Andrews and male a female trans athlete who holds the women's record in Canada, appearing to mock women for being weak. Why is women's bench so bad? I mean, not compared to me. We all know that I'm a training freak, so that doesn't count. And no, we're not talking about McKenzie Lee. She's got little T-Rex arms and she's like 400 pounds of chest muscle apparently. I mean, standard bench in powerlifting competition for
Starting point is 00:32:50 I literally don't understand why it's so bad. Well, Team Canada Powerlifter, Abeloterson, joins me now. Well, welcome to Pierce, thank you for coming to the studio. Anne Andrhus, who is a biological male who's transgendered, currently holds four of the five provincial records, the highest deadlift of all ages in Canada. If Anne Andrews competed with males, then she would place around 6,000.
Starting point is 00:33:19 There right there is the inequality, the unfairness that we're seeing in many sports, but particularly a sport like yours. Yeah, so you have powerlifting, which is pure strength sports. Males have an advantage of 60 to 70% advantage over females. You hear Anne talking about the bench press. Why is bench press so weak for females? We're not designed for bench press. We don't have the right muscle of ass for bench press, so therefore we will be weaker.
Starting point is 00:33:47 When you hear her mocking, really, the whole situation, how does that make you feel? I mean, it's, it's, the whole thing is disgusting. It's disgraceful. It's disheartening. It's even more disheartening that the Federation allows us to happen. I am the one being punished for speaking truth, yet he can mock females and say, you know, call me a bigot, incite hate, and nothing's being done about that. But I'm the one being silenced by my Federation. What is going to happen to you?
Starting point is 00:34:18 Well, most recently, I've been threatened with suspension. Two weeks ago, I received a letter from my Federation stating that you cannot call Anne a biological mail that goes against the Code of Ethics, because in their policy, they do ask that we use pronouns. They don't force you to, but they ask also. But she is a biological male. I mean, I'm perfectly prepared to call her Anne,
Starting point is 00:34:42 her name that she prefer to be called us fine, but she's a biological male. a transgender athlete who's now destroying female competitors in women's sport. I mean, to me, again, but particularly in this powerlifting, it's so obvious that if someone would come 6,000 competing against men, but is winning against women, there's the problem. Exactly. Now, just recently, the Strongman Corporation in Canada, we spoke out against they had a transgender athlete.
Starting point is 00:35:14 they actually change their policy to create a separate category. So simple. And that's all we've been asking is for a separate category. To me, it's very simple. What should happen is you either compete against your biological sex. So if you're a trans woman, you would compete against biological males, as most of them have done before in sport, massively less successfully, it should be noted. Or you have a completely new category.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Easy peasy. Yeah, you think it'd be that easy. Yes. Because there are far more people now identifying as men. men or women, different to their biological sex, these categories would be quite well, I would imagine, well, stopped with people, right? There'd be lots of people wanted to do it.
Starting point is 00:35:53 No, exactly. Well, my Federation, actually, I think they've gone rogue. They've done their own thing. They've created an inclusion policy. So you could identify as a female tomorrow up here, take all the records, crush it in the women's category, and then go back to being a man the next day. I mean, that's something Martina Ivato Lova said very early on,
Starting point is 00:36:10 and she was accused of being a bigot, One of the biggest LGBTQ advocates probably ever in sport, she was accused of being bigoted. I mean, this is the sort of, I don't know what you would call it, but it's the instant reaction. Every time anyone in your position or Martina or whatever they raise a concern about this obvious unfairness, if I would call it cheating, I mean, it's cheating.
Starting point is 00:36:33 To me, it has the same effect as doping, right, in the sense it gives somebody an unfair advantage. We all know this, but people like you, brave enough to put you heard of the parapet, you get shot down and cool, bigoted, transphobic, and so on. Well, exactly. I mean, I've been called that word. I don't know how many times now. It's not transphobic to ask for fairness in women's sports. It's a word they use to silence you. Well, I'm not going to be silent. Do you have any problem with transgender people? No, not at all. Not at all.
Starting point is 00:37:00 I have a problem with transgender athletes going into women's sports or a.k.a. biological men, picking women's podium spots, sponsors, medals. And you never see it the other way around with trans men. Exactly, never. It doesn't happen because trans men actually have an inferior disadvantage when they compete against biological men, obviously, because they're biological females. So there's a reason, I always say it's a reason the Olympics, you split the genders up. If you didn't, if you made it gender neutral, the next Olympics, women would win about two gold medals if they were lucky in the entire tournament.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Well, there's a reason why there's categories. I'm in the master, so I compete between 40 and 50 years old. There's people from 50 to 60. There's juniors. Like I could identify as a junior tomorrow and go crush the juniors. Right. Exactly. And if you had to compete in your category of 40 to 50 masters
Starting point is 00:37:49 against only biological males who identified now as women but had competed in powerlifting in that category, how would you get on? Oh, well, I think the answer is for itself, not well. I mean, you wouldn't win anything, right? No, nothing. So your chances of being able to be successful in your sport are massively eroded simply because people with an unfair physical advantage
Starting point is 00:38:13 have come along and decided they want to be you. Exactly. And this particular person, Anne, I mean, he's taken records that basically people that have been training for 10 years haven't even touched a number. Like a deadlift of 573 pounds is unheard of, especially by a 40-year-old. Are you going to sue the Federation? Well, I do have an attorney that's in the works right now. I do have to respond to their letter of disciplinary,
Starting point is 00:38:39 but it is in the works, yes. And I'm actually raising money right now for legal fees to pay the lawyers. I think it is ridiculous. People like you are put through this hell for spelling out the bleeding obvious. I do think it's ridiculous. And we keep hammering this on this program
Starting point is 00:38:54 because I think most right-minded people know how ridiculous it is and how unfair it is. But thank you for coming in. I wish you good luck. And we will keep hammering this drum until common sense prevails in every space. Yes, for sure. And I just want to give you this as a gift because it is Women's History Month in Canada. Ah!
Starting point is 00:39:13 So I made this shirt for you. Keep female sports female. Let's make this global as well. You know what? I will happily endorse that T-shirt because they should be. And women's rights to fairness and equality should trump stupid allegations of being transphobic. I've no problem with any trans people. I wish them all the very best. I want them to have fairness and equality in their lives. Absolutely. But not when it arose women's rights to fairness and equality.
Starting point is 00:39:40 That is just unfair and unequal. Thanks for coming in. Unsense to the next, the unsolved murder of Tupac Shakur has been the subject in speculation within 30 years. Police have at last arrested and charged a man for the shooting in Las Vegas in 1996. Next to speak to DJ Vlad, a man who may have helped uncover the truth by interviewing the suspect. Welcome back to Piers's book with Uncensored. It was a question that gripped the world.
Starting point is 00:40:20 who killed Tupac Shakur, the 25-year rapper, considered one of the most influential artists of all time, was gunned down in Las Vegas in 1996. Well, on Friday, D. Davis was indicted on one countermur with a deadly weapon in relation to the killing. DJ Vlad, a major commentator in the hip-hop industry for years, admitted the police in Las Vegas asked him to help their investigation after he interviewed Keefe D. for his own show.
Starting point is 00:40:46 And DJ Vlad joins me now. And you said that Tupac pulled out a gun. It looked like he was reaching, yeah. Yeah, it did. Okay. Yeah. Did you actually see a gun? No, I said, once you got the region, I got the ducking.
Starting point is 00:40:59 So someone from your car starts shooting at Tupac and shook. So Orlando shot across Drey? He leaned over on the window. We rolled down the window. Popped. They were throwing them outside. I would have popped them. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:41:18 But they was on the other side. Right. Well, DJ Vlad joins me now. Thank you very much, Dee, for joining the show. Absolutely. Thank you for having me. I know you've studied this case for so long. And these interviews that you did with Keefe D. They've turned out to be extremely significant in this investigation,
Starting point is 00:41:40 leading, in fact, to him being arrested and indicted. When you heard that news, how did you feel? Well, I mean, the goal wasn't really to get anyone arrested. It was really just to get the truth of the matter. The story about Orlando Anderson killing Tupac. I've known since around 2007. So this was essentially at the worst kept secret in L.A.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Everyone knew about it, but there were no arrests, there was no convictions, there was no anything, there was no actual proofs, there was a lot of conspiracy theories around it. So around 2008, when I first heard the Keefey confession tapes that Greg Kating got, then I found out there was a book that was about to come out.
Starting point is 00:42:20 I got a hold to Keefe D. and his co-writer, and we scheduled an interview, and we just went from there. I mean, he appears to have incriminated himself in this interview, the last one. Did you believe he was doing that as you interviewed him? Well, I think that he believed that he had a level of immunity when he did the proffer agreement. I also, I think at the time, he was saying that he had cancer, so maybe he didn't think he had much time to live.
Starting point is 00:42:50 So he was just kind of letting it loose at that point. But, you know, it was a little bit crazy that he actually sat down and we did everything. and when I asked him about it, sometimes he would try to dodge certain questions, but ultimately I use the book as a blueprint. So whenever a question wouldn't get answered, I said, well, the book said, X, Y, and Z.
Starting point is 00:43:11 And then at that point, he kind of went along with what was written in the book. It's been reported that you have resisted efforts by the police to hand over all the unedited tapes. Is that true and if so, why? Yeah, it's true. I mean, ultimately, people that we have on our show, So we don't turn around and cooperate against those same people with the police.
Starting point is 00:43:37 For me, just in terms of business-wise and my ethics and so forth, I just feel that's something wrong. So when Las Vegas police reached out to me multiple times, I just never responded. I think what they did ultimately want was the raw footage. That was an email that they sent after a couple of phone calls when unanswered. Ultimately, if you know the style of our footage, everything that we film gets released. So I think there's a little bit of a barking up the wrong tree situation, but maybe they thought there was a gotcha on there in the footage that was unreleased, which I'm not aware of it since everything did get released. But ultimately, we don't cooperate with the police. And, you know, we've had situations where police have tried to get footage from us, and we've had our lawyers step in and actually block it.
Starting point is 00:44:24 Are you concerned? I mean, you know, I've done many interviews, including crime interviews, actually, over the years. There's always a certain element of concern as an interview when you stray into that kind of territory about repercussions from people involved. I mean, given there's now been an indictment here, are you worried about repercussions against you? I don't worry about doing my job. I've been doing Vlad TV for 15 years now. We've covered a lot of very serious issues. We've interviewed, like, mass murders, like Sammy the Bull and so forth.
Starting point is 00:44:56 So I don't really worry when it comes to doing my job. My job supersedes any level of concern or fear or anything else like that. And ultimately, you know, if I ever feel there is a situation where there might be some danger, I always move with armed security. You're famously a very big fan of Tupac's, of course, millions of people were, and it remained one of the great mysteries about this. If it turns out that your interviews have helped lead to solving this mystery, Will you feel a sense of closure for Tupac and his family?
Starting point is 00:45:31 Well, I mean, for me, the closure came four years ago when I did the interview. There was a lot of conspiracy theories when it comes to Tupac. There was that, you know, Shug had him set up. There was the government did it. There was the first responder. Had a body that he switched. Tupac is living in Cuba somewhere. There's a lot of crazy theories out there.
Starting point is 00:45:52 So for me, when I did the interview four years ago, and we went through the entire story, you know, really Keefe D's entire life story, but really leading up to what happened from Orlando getting jumped at the mall, to, you know, the next few steps, to them going to Vegas, to what happened, you know, during the fight, to what happened afterwards. That essentially told the story. I've been saying for years that I solved the Tupac murder. You know, when it comes to the family, I've had various family members reach out through people to say they're very happy about it. But the thing about it is, you know, I know people that were very close to Tupac's mother, Afini Shakur, and they all told me that while she was alive, she did not care about the police solving this case. The Shakur family had a very, you know, you know, bad relationship with the police.
Starting point is 00:46:43 We've run out of time. I'm really sorry. I'd love to have done more of this. Thank you very much for a great interview. I've been following you for a long time, and you're great at what you do. And I congratulate you on this. Thank you very much indeed. up to you keep it uncensored good night
