Speaker 1: You're listening to The buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everybody, welcome to
Speaker 1: another episode of The buck Sexton Show. Very pleased to
Speaker 1: be joined by first time on this program, Leilani Doubting.
Speaker 1: She is a UK based commentator. You see her on
Speaker 1: gb News. Her Twitter game is fierce. She's also formerly
Speaker 1: from the Real Housewives of Cheshire, which I hope I
Speaker 1: am pronouncing correctly. Leilani, thank you very much for being
Speaker 1: here with us. Appreciated. Thank you for having me on it.
Speaker 1: So I first became aware of your commentary, your punditry
Speaker 1: during COVID when many of us were locked away. I
Speaker 1: don't know where you were in the UK during and
Speaker 1: I was in New York City in Midtown in the
Speaker 1: middle of the abject lunacy. I saw the hospital ship floating,
Speaker 1: floating by my window, literally saw it as it was
Speaker 1: going up the Hudson because I was living in midtown
Speaker 1: Manhattan and everything was, you know, lockdown at the end
Speaker 1: of the world. And then there were some of us
Speaker 1: who were saying, hey, guys, this is a really crazy idea,
Speaker 1: This whole lockdown thing, right, and you were very early
Speaker 1: in that. What's it like now as you look around
Speaker 1: the UK? I wanted to fast forward to the current
Speaker 1: moment when you look around and all these people who
Speaker 1: did all this stuff, are any of them? Sorry? Do
Speaker 1: any of them come up to you and say you
Speaker 1: were right? Like? How is it from your perspective? Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the craziest thing. No one has ever apologized
Speaker 1: to me and said sorry. And I've lost so many friends.
Speaker 1: I mean literally, I had just moved back actually, at
Speaker 1: the time of lockdown, I had just moved back from
Speaker 1: Los Angeles to England, so I was in the middle
Speaker 1: of the country in Staffordshire. So I had a lot
Speaker 1: of friends in Los Angeles who was seeing my posts
Speaker 1: who were really angry at me. They were so angry
Speaker 1: at me. I've kind of lost touch with them. No
Speaker 1: one's ever reached out and said anything, the UK is
Speaker 1: really free now. I feel like I lost a lot
Speaker 1: of friends, But then I also made a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of new friends. And those are people that didn't want
Speaker 1: to lockdown, refuse to lock down, and kind of very vocal.
Speaker 1: I met them at a lot of the protests that
Speaker 1: were going on and so and forth. And the strange
Speaker 1: thing is is that in the Uki seems very different
Speaker 1: to Los Angeles, and right now everyone just is like,
Speaker 1: we'd never do it again, but yet no one's actually
Speaker 1: apologized for it. It's it's astonishing at what point for
Speaker 1: you was at the beginning, because now here we are
Speaker 1: and it's they just had Karine Jean Pierre. I'm sure
Speaker 1: you see stuff going on with US politics. Karine Jean
Speaker 1: Pierre in the White House was just reminding everybody, hey,
Speaker 1: COVID's not over. And some of us want to just
Speaker 1: jump up and scream. We're like, well, what does that
Speaker 1: even mean? I mean, the common call is also not over.
Speaker 1: The flu is not over. You know, your vaccines don't
Speaker 1: stop the spread, they don't work. What is really you know,
Speaker 1: maybe they work as well as a flu shot and
Speaker 1: a good year, maybe for about two months at best.
Speaker 1: So we're sitting around, Okay, what's really the situation? I remember,
Speaker 1: for me, the hard break with the consensus or the
Speaker 1: apparatus was when all of a sudden, Fauci went from
Speaker 1: masks don't work to on no masks are essential. And
Speaker 1: that was like April of twenty twenty, right, exactly. So
Speaker 1: there was that, and the masks were going on in America,
Speaker 1: I think way before they were in the UK. They
Speaker 1: became mounta Tree in the US a lot sooner. And
Speaker 1: it was all very strange to me. My friend's ninety
Speaker 1: year old grandma who wasn't in a care home, she
Speaker 1: was being looked after her in her own home. She
Speaker 1: had cancer, she has Alzheimer's and she got COVID and
Speaker 1: she got better. And to me, I was like, hold
Speaker 1: on a minute, this is supposed to be the most
Speaker 1: vulnerable and she's got better from it. So what is
Speaker 1: going on? I need to step back from what the
Speaker 1: media were telling me. I need to step back from
Speaker 1: like this death count that we're seeing on the news
Speaker 1: every day, and I need to look at what's going
Speaker 1: on around me and to see a lot of vulnerable
Speaker 1: people that I knew, or people that would be in
Speaker 1: that kind of category, get COVID and be better. In
Speaker 1: addition to no advice on being getting healthy, doing everything
Speaker 1: kind of opposite to what a normal healthy person would do,
Speaker 1: Like you know, in the UK, they were saying we
Speaker 1: could only leave the house for an hour a day, right,
Speaker 1: that makes no sense to me. How do you get
Speaker 1: your vitamin D, how do you get like sunshine, fresh air?
Speaker 1: Like you need all of that right to be a
Speaker 1: healthy person. So it was all very very counterintuitive to me,
Speaker 1: and I was like, hold on. And in addition to that,
Speaker 1: I was watching and I always have watched alternative doctors,
Speaker 1: so like doctor Basha Batar sorry, and then oh doctor
Speaker 1: is it doctor Shiva? I was watching right at the start,
Speaker 1: so I was seeing these other people have a different
Speaker 1: view and kind of saying like when you when there's
Speaker 1: viruses around, you need to take these vitamins or these
Speaker 1: And then obviously vitamins and minerals were then an spiracy theory,
Speaker 1: and you were like some far right conspiracy theorist if
Speaker 1: you thought that taking supplements would ever be good for
Speaker 1: your health and a fresh air and sunlight or any
Speaker 1: of these things were good for you. And so we
Speaker 1: all just none of it made sense. It all just
Speaker 1: made zero sense at all to me. And that's kind
Speaker 1: of when I said, let's hold on a minute. You know,
Speaker 1: what is what is going on here? Did you have
Speaker 1: the same level of craziness with you in the US
Speaker 1: we had. I remember it was the playground that was
Speaker 1: right near my house. You know, the park had some
Speaker 1: sports field things like that, they padlocked it. They pulled
Speaker 1: the rims off of basketball courts so that nobody could
Speaker 1: go out and shoot hoops by themselves or in a group.
Speaker 1: They created little circles in the ground and told people
Speaker 1: if you go to the park, if we happen to
Speaker 1: have a park that's open at some point, this is
Speaker 1: where you have to sit for social distancing. We had
Speaker 1: little foot pedals in elevators where you were in an elevator, right,
Speaker 1: so this would be like foot pedals in a telephone
Speaker 1: booth because you know, it's not like there's a lot
Speaker 1: of room, you know, And did you have all of
Speaker 1: that stuff too, I mean, I'm just wondering. Obviously I
Speaker 1: couldn't travel during COVID, so I couldn't see how it
Speaker 1: was elsewhere. But in New York it was you did
Speaker 1: have that. Yeah, we did. So we had arrows in supermarkets,
Speaker 1: so you had to go a certain way around the
Speaker 1: aisles so that you were never going in the opposite direction.
Speaker 1: The playgrounds were all fenced off, even park benches, so
Speaker 1: there was a weird rule that you could go for
Speaker 1: a walk, but you weren't allowed to sit down with
Speaker 1: a friend or anybody. You weren't allowed to sit down
Speaker 1: on a park bench, and you weren't allowed to take
Speaker 1: say a coffee with you or a cup of tea
Speaker 1: because that even though it was cold, it was like
Speaker 1: freezing cold. You weren't allowed to take a coffee or
Speaker 1: a cup of tea because that would class as a picnic.
Speaker 1: And you weren't allowed to have picnics. You could only
Speaker 1: have exercise walks. So this is how stupid it got.
Speaker 1: And I laughed now because I just at the time,
Speaker 1: I was so like, physically it wasn't COVID that was
Speaker 1: what scaring me. It was the controls that was scaring me.
Speaker 1: And I got physically ill from it, and I felt anxiety.
Speaker 1: Um it was it was. It was a physical feeling
Speaker 1: that I felt right from, like this authority just closing
Speaker 1: in on us. And and I want, I want to
Speaker 1: ask you how much of this do you think ties
Speaker 1: into you know, in the US A lot of the
Speaker 1: time when we debate healthcare in any respect, people on
Speaker 1: the left here will say, well, we should just have
Speaker 1: what the what the British have with the National Health
Speaker 1: Service because everything is free and it's amazing and that's
Speaker 1: the line, and my understanding is one that's not particularly true.
Speaker 1: But also, how much of of of the lockdown do
Speaker 1: you think was pushed by or possible? Because your government
Speaker 1: and healthcare service ours are very much intertwined, more than
Speaker 1: people realize, but yours are one and the same. I mean,
Speaker 1: the government is the NHS and the NHS is the government,
Speaker 1: right right, And so it was persh And then we
Speaker 1: had this thing where at eight pm on a Thursday night,
Speaker 1: people would come out and they would clap for the NHS. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: the NHS doctors and nurses we're making TikTok videos. You know,
Speaker 1: they were supposed to be overrun in the hospitals and
Speaker 1: so busy, but they had time to make all these
Speaker 1: like TikTok videos and these dances, and people would couses
Speaker 1: and clap for them. And meanwhile they were stopping cancer
Speaker 1: patients from getting their treatments. They were people were too
Speaker 1: afraid to go into the hospitals because of all the
Speaker 1: fear being pumped out. So but having lived in both countries,
Speaker 1: I would say, obviously, private healthcare it's going to be
Speaker 1: a lot better than the NHS. Like the waiting list
Speaker 1: here are crazy what happens if I want to get
Speaker 1: in if i want to get knee surgery, and I'm
Speaker 1: living in the UK, I'm just like an everyday guy.
Speaker 1: I need to get knee surgery. What's that? Like? How
Speaker 1: long do I wait? Well? Okay, So first of all,
Speaker 1: you need to try and get a doctor's appointment, right,
Speaker 1: and even now it's so impossible. There's like so many backlogs.
Speaker 1: You have to call up at say nine o'clock in
Speaker 1: the morning or eight o'clock in the morning, stay in
Speaker 1: line to try and get an appointment over the phone
Speaker 1: because a lot of doctors still won't even see you, right,
Speaker 1: This is the craziest thing. Yeah, and then there's and
Speaker 1: then you know, and then people can't get their appointments.
Speaker 1: So what they then do is they go into emergency care.
Speaker 1: So like you know, your eer, people will go into
Speaker 1: the emergency care because they're not feeling well. So then
Speaker 1: that's overrun, right, So then they've also sacked I think
Speaker 1: they've sacked forty thousand care workers, so not necessarily nurses
Speaker 1: and doctors, but the care workers that care for people
Speaker 1: want they leave hospital, which is then bedlock bedlock the beds,
Speaker 1: so they're filled with people that could go back to
Speaker 1: their house but can't. And this is because of the
Speaker 1: vaccine mandates, right, And that was the only sector actually
Speaker 1: the did vaccine mandates because there were so many protests
Speaker 1: in the UK that they never got round to actually
Speaker 1: mandating it for doctors and nurses. So it is a mess.
Speaker 1: But the one thing about the UK, unlike Canada, is
Speaker 1: you can get private healthcare as well if you want to,
Speaker 1: which you know a lot of people do. So I
Speaker 1: want to ask you about where it all stands now
Speaker 1: because you started to get into that, like how is
Speaker 1: the situation when it comes to COVID in the UK.
Speaker 1: I mean here it felt like we were almost about
Speaker 1: to get masks back on planes again and then they
Speaker 1: backed off of it. But we know it always it's
Speaker 1: always in the back background because these people are lunatics.
Speaker 1: But something else aline it's very important for your health
Speaker 1: is a good night's sleep, and you've got to have
Speaker 1: excellent pillows and sheets to achieve that. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: to send an overseas. I think we'll send you and
Speaker 1: your husband some my pillows and some Geeza dreamsheets. The

Speaker 1: It's phenomenal. You've got a great NiFe sleep, which is
Speaker 1: good for your health. By the way, and back to health, Leilani,
Speaker 1: what's going on over there now? Do you guys still
Speaker 1: you know Novac joke? Bitch? You and I are both
Speaker 1: been watching the tennis. I saw you tweeting about it.
Speaker 1: I'm a rafa guy personally. A tennis is one of
Speaker 1: the few sports you know, my co hosts on radio
Speaker 1: loves like all professional sports, tennis is one of the
Speaker 1: only ones I panny attention to. I love Rafa Nadal,
Speaker 1: but I do think that maybe Djokovic is just gonna
Speaker 1: have to be crowned the greatest of all time. He
Speaker 1: may win all three majors this year leading into the
Speaker 1: US Open. He's still cannot actually attend the US Open
Speaker 1: because he has not been vaccinated and the US requires
Speaker 1: non citizens to be vaccinated before they come in. How
Speaker 1: crazy and stupid can things get before they have to relent?
Speaker 1: What do you think? I don't know. I have no
Speaker 1: idea what Biden's thinking, Oh the administration. I have no
Speaker 1: clue what is going on, and it blows my mind. Luckily,
Speaker 1: I'm a dual citizen, so if I want to go
Speaker 1: back to America, I can. But to think that so
Speaker 1: many of my friends can't, and a lot of them
Speaker 1: can't leave Los Angeles because they can't get back in.
Speaker 1: They can't, you know, they can't go home and see
Speaker 1: their parents. They haven't seen their families in you know,
Speaker 1: three years. A lot of my makes pat phones out there.
Speaker 1: They can't get back into the country. So it's it's
Speaker 1: so insane to me, and to think that this is
Speaker 1: all supposed to be about health. You know, this is
Speaker 1: like the fittest guy on the planet and probably and
Speaker 1: he can't get into America. It's it's madness. But here,
Speaker 1: like I said, so tell me, tell me what's going
Speaker 1: on in the UK with regard to these policies. Do
Speaker 1: they still have some lingering COVID lunacy? So there's no mandates.
Speaker 1: They actually never got round to doing vaccine mandates for
Speaker 1: any jobs other than the care the care workers because
Speaker 1: of all the protests that went on, because there would
Speaker 1: have been massive strikes in the NHS and all sorts,
Speaker 1: and as I said, the NHS is like really overloaded,
Speaker 1: so they didn't do that. You do see some people
Speaker 1: still wandering around in masks, and it blows my mind.
Speaker 1: And usually they're kind of very unhealthy looking people, and
Speaker 1: I think to myself, God, you know, you've had three
Speaker 1: years to take care of your health, but you choose
Speaker 1: a mask instead. But a lot is coming out in
Speaker 1: the newspapers as well. Just today it's been announced that
Speaker 1: apparently they had sections of the army actually looking at
Speaker 1: the social media of people they considered lockdown skeptic or antibaxes.
Speaker 1: So you know, like kind of the Twitter files, how
Speaker 1: your government was involved. Our army is being said to
Speaker 1: be involved, so obviously that's the government, the seventy seventh
Speaker 1: Brigades fighting disinformation. So this is astonishing. So your military
Speaker 1: intelligence in the UK was looking at COVID dissidents as
Speaker 1: a possible I assume health and therefore safety threat. And
Speaker 1: wasn't Peter Hitchins, the brother of the late Christian Hitchins,
Speaker 1: on that list. Yes, yes he was, Yeah, he was,
Speaker 1: which is weird because he writes for the Daily Mail.
Speaker 1: And I actually had a really bad hit piece done
Speaker 1: on me by the Daily Mail, and a journalist called
Speaker 1: me up and she asked me my thoughts on Jock
Speaker 1: Fitch when this was like a year ago, right when
Speaker 1: he wasn't going to be allowed into Australia or he
Speaker 1: was going to be deported, and I think the word
Speaker 1: refuse nick was going round, so I called myself a
Speaker 1: proud refuse nick and she asked me about it. That night,
Speaker 1: my Instagram got taken down, which is probably where you
Speaker 1: saw me because prior to it being taken down, I
Speaker 1: was mainly on Instagram and not Twitter. But yeah, the
Speaker 1: night that she called me for a quote, my Instagram
Speaker 1: went down, So I think there were journalists kind of
Speaker 1: ratting out people as well. So yeah, it's amazing. They're
Speaker 1: supposed to be standing athwart the power of the state
Speaker 1: and standing on the side of the people against concentrations
Speaker 1: of power. We saw throughout COVID in all Western societies
Speaker 1: the exact opposite of that that the journalistic enterprise, journalistic
Speaker 1: apparatus was used entirely as really with a few exceptions,
Speaker 1: but as an enforcement mechanism. And I mean I've had
Speaker 1: I had hit pieces written on me too about things
Speaker 1: like I actually had a hit piece written on me
Speaker 1: by a political fact checking organization because I said that
Speaker 1: masks outside outside or I mean side as ridiculous too,
Speaker 1: but outside you're completely out of your mind. They're like, no,
Speaker 1: they're still dispute about this. It's not true to say that.
Speaker 1: And what's amazing because no one ever goes back and
Speaker 1: changes or corrects any of this, So it really does
Speaker 1: have kind of a Soviet feel. I mean the Daily Mail. Wait,
Speaker 1: the Daily Mail came out, I would assume the Guardian
Speaker 1: would come after you, but I expect more from the
Speaker 1: Daily Mail. Yeah, no, it was the Daily Mail, the
Speaker 1: Mail on Sunday, which is part of the Daily Mail.
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I think they did it about a
Speaker 1: few people. Actually it was the people on social media
Speaker 1: have a presence that apparently we're causing vaccine hesitancy and
Speaker 1: we're causing people to die. Basically how the article went, yeah,
Speaker 1: you were killing grandma. It turns out I over here
Speaker 1: in the US was killing grandma as well when I
Speaker 1: was pointing out that telling people to stay home for
Speaker 1: a finite period of time before they have to go
Speaker 1: back to some semblance of normal life, and also only
Speaker 1: telling about thirty percent of people who work that they
Speaker 1: should stay home while everybody else is essential, so they
Speaker 1: keep going to work and getting sick and spreading the virus. Anyway,
Speaker 1: this was an idea that was beyond lunacy. And what
Speaker 1: one thing that I find has been troubling Leilate is
Speaker 1: that they were wrong about everything. And yet I feel
Speaker 1: like everybody who pushed the stuff, they act like everything's fine,
Speaker 1: like they got it right and we just move forward.
Speaker 1: And I'm seeing here, I'm still pissed off. I have
Speaker 1: not let this go at all. Maybe that's no, I
Speaker 1: agree with you. I mean when you see people like,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if you know who Pierce
Speaker 1: Morgan is out, Yeah, viewers right, so he was their
Speaker 1: trial that came out his mouth like he was an
Speaker 1: establishment mask foucy guy, wasn't he. I'm sure Piers just
Speaker 1: evil and he just went, well, you know, when the
Speaker 1: facts changed, my opinion changed, as though I was like,
Speaker 1: hold on a minute, Pierce. Facts don't change. Opinions always change.
Speaker 1: Science changes. That's the whole thing. Like you know all
Speaker 1: these people that say I trust the science. Science is evolving.
Speaker 1: It's not like mathematics where it's set right. So it's
Speaker 1: like what Piers Morgan says, when the facts change. No,
Speaker 1: facts are facts. Facts don't change. You just never had
Speaker 1: the facts right and you weren't prepared to listen to
Speaker 1: the facts. And that's the thing. And it's all coming out.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like it's it's change because it's all
Speaker 1: dripping out in little bits. And I don't know whether
Speaker 1: that's because they have to do it that way, because
Speaker 1: if everyone finds out that if the people that you
Speaker 1: know believed what the mainstream were saying and believed what
Speaker 1: our politicians were saying, if they've found out the lies
Speaker 1: that went on all at once, I don't know what
Speaker 1: would happen. You know, it would just be so explosive
Speaker 1: that I think they have to like just drip feed
Speaker 1: out these little bits and bobs. I have said that
Speaker 1: to friends, by the way that I am. One argument
Speaker 1: that I don't think is I think it's partially correct.
Speaker 1: Is that a full accounting for how wrong the CDC
Speaker 1: and how honestly useless and even counterproductive. It was the
Speaker 1: only argument I could have or I can listen to
Speaker 1: against basically tear it down to the studs and it's
Speaker 1: a complete disaster. Is you know the CDC does you know,
Speaker 1: provide funding for some you know, for you know, HIV research,
Speaker 1: and it does things that that are are worthwhile and
Speaker 1: when it tells people to uh, you know that there's
Speaker 1: some health aspects that it shares, not very many, but
Speaker 1: that are good. Basically, what I'm saying is I worry
Speaker 1: that people won't believe the CDC now on almost anything right.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the only argument against doing a full
Speaker 1: breakdown of everything that got wrong is then people won't
Speaker 1: listen to them about anything, including some of the things
Speaker 1: that they say are are true. I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's a feeling you have in the UK too, But
Speaker 1: because the CDC here was an an abject disaster, I
Speaker 1: mean absolutely, the Centers for Disease Control got everything wrong,
Speaker 1: especially the vaccine stuff. And that's the funny thing, isn't it.
Speaker 1: It's like people. I think they depend on people forgetting
Speaker 1: and the short memory people have. So you know, it
Speaker 1: was within like six months of Biden saying literally Biden
Speaker 1: said this will stop the spread. It will stop the spread,
Speaker 1: Rachel Matter was saying, the virus will stop here. That's it.
Speaker 1: Take the vaccine, the virus stops. Then next thing, like
Speaker 1: six months later, it's like, no one said it stops
Speaker 1: the virus. It just makes your symptoms less. It's like, no,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, But they did say that, and they
Speaker 1: kind of said that was going to be our only
Speaker 1: way out of lockdown. And so they depend on people
Speaker 1: forgetting a lot of it, and you know, forgetting their
Speaker 1: anger as well that they had. Yeah, I think and
Speaker 1: I think you're right, and I think you're right as well.
Speaker 1: I think that it will make people really skeptical. I
Speaker 1: mean there's people now that are going to be skeptical
Speaker 1: of the old fashioned vaccines, not the mRNA vaccines. There
Speaker 1: are people that are going to be skeptical of all
Speaker 1: vaccines now because they pushed this one so hard. There's
Speaker 1: going to be people that are going to be very,
Speaker 1: very skeptical of big farm and probably you know rightly
Speaker 1: so to some extent that they don't believe everything that
Speaker 1: they get told in the future. Yes, I think the
Speaker 1: medical establishment also is suffering from and this is really
Speaker 1: I think a bigger problem than even the CDC or
Speaker 1: what you'd see with the NIH and the credibility of
Speaker 1: the entity that the medical field is in a point
Speaker 1: now where I think out of either habit or hubris.
Speaker 1: I don't really know what the mentality is. It's pushing it.
Speaker 1: Doctor's office is, for example, in New York City, where
Speaker 1: I spend a lot of my time and where I'm from,
Speaker 1: originally they require you to wear a mask. Still, you
Speaker 1: can't go into any doctor's office in New York City
Speaker 1: without a mask on our. Same thing with hospitals. And
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here saying, guys, this was all crap, right,
Speaker 1: you know this, And apparently they don't or they're unwilling
Speaker 1: to admit it's it makes no sense. And it's a
Speaker 1: year round rule too. It's not even like a seasonal
Speaker 1: flu covid thing. They're just like, no masks, we all mask.
Speaker 1: Now that's what health means. Are you sick? Yes, they're
Speaker 1: so shocking to me because, like you said, going back
Speaker 1: to India, now, I feel like people, although they won't apologize,
Speaker 1: they see that it's complete enough to madness. And so yeah,
Speaker 1: it's rare that you see anybody in a mask anymore. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like in America it got very political. It
Speaker 1: was like it was so political. It was a sign
Speaker 1: of who your affiliation was with politically by wearing one
Speaker 1: or not. It was so it was so strange. Yeah,
Speaker 1: did your devotion in America to the mask? I mean,
Speaker 1: first of all, there were people who literally were wearing
Speaker 1: I voted for Biden masks and things like that or
Speaker 1: being a Biden twenty twenty so, and it was all
Speaker 1: you Democrats were very pro mask. It became an entirely
Speaker 1: political bifurcation which side of this are are you one?
Speaker 1: And that that was troubling to me. But but also
Speaker 1: I was saying for on Twitter, guys, just give it time.
Speaker 1: There Fauci's gonna say, actually, we need a double mask
Speaker 1: because the data will be so clear that cloth masks
Speaker 1: are worthless. And sure enough, and then I was retweeting
Speaker 1: my tweet from three months because saying, hey, I don't
Speaker 1: have a medical degree, but how did I know that
Speaker 1: they were going to say that double masking was necessary
Speaker 1: because obviously there was a failure, and there was a
Speaker 1: point there was a brief moment where they started talking
Speaker 1: about goggles. I don't know if you saw this, but
Speaker 1: they were say yes, because the virus could go in
Speaker 1: your eyes. Like, I remember all this stuff, and yet
Speaker 1: I still come across people. A lot of people on
Speaker 1: planes in the US will still voluntarily mask. And the
Speaker 1: thing about them that bothers me, I'm actually I'm contemptuous
Speaker 1: of it. I don't I'm not like, oh, that's okay. Live.
Speaker 1: Because we went through the they didn't want to live
Speaker 1: and let live. If they could, and the Biden administration
Speaker 1: had the power here again, they would reinstitute the mask
Speaker 1: on plane rule for everybody, which is crazy, not only
Speaker 1: because masks don't work. The CEOs of the airlines in
Speaker 1: this country have all come out to say our hepiphiltrations
Speaker 1: on planes go down to the level of virus particles.
Speaker 1: The cleanest air that people are breathing anywhere in their
Speaker 1: life in a congregate setting, as fout you would say,
Speaker 1: is on airplanes. So the place with the most concentration
Speaker 1: of masking scientifically for a place where there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people, so bars, restaurants, workplace is the safest place,
Speaker 1: and that's where they wear a mask. And I just
Speaker 1: feel like that's a perfect encapsulation of the madness. I
Speaker 1: lost friends over this too, by the way, did you yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: it's crazy. I lost I think I lost half my friends.
Speaker 1: I really, it's so mad. But I've got to say,
Speaker 1: we didn't have the double masking in the UK. So
Speaker 1: when I saw it, I did take a trip about
Speaker 1: to Los Angeles and I saw it for the first time.
Speaker 1: I was just like I had to take a picture
Speaker 1: and send it to my friends and back in the
Speaker 1: UK and say, oh my gosh, this is really real,
Speaker 1: Like people are walking down the street double masks. And
Speaker 1: I mean in the UK, so people would only have
Speaker 1: to wear them in the shops. You never actually had
Speaker 1: to wear them outside on the street. And you could
Speaker 1: also self exempt yourself. So I gave myself an exemption.
Speaker 1: I was just and I didn't even have to prove it.
Speaker 1: I could go into a shop and say I'm exempt,
Speaker 1: and they had to accept that as an exemption. But
Speaker 1: there were so You'd see people and they would pull
Speaker 1: out a dirty mask from their purse, put it on,
Speaker 1: walk around the shop, take it off, shove it in
Speaker 1: their bag, and it's it was so stupid, and I
Speaker 1: laugh about it now. I was so, like I said before,
Speaker 1: I it made me physically ill. I got such anxiety
Speaker 1: from it. And I've never been an anxious person, but
Speaker 1: I always know that, you know, you've got to listen to,
Speaker 1: like your gut and your intuition, and it was just
Speaker 1: telling me the whole thing was wrong. Right, So I
Speaker 1: laugh about it now, and I'm glad I can laugh
Speaker 1: about it now, because the whole thing was just so absurd.
Speaker 1: It was just so ridiculous. I'm so absurd, and none
Speaker 1: of it made sense. I went to a restaurant at
Speaker 1: one point in New York City and I sat down
Speaker 1: with a friend and you had the rule, and again
Speaker 1: I don't know if you had the same The rule
Speaker 1: was you had to wear the mask, for the trip
Speaker 1: from the door of the restaurant to the table, and
Speaker 1: then take the mask off for the whole meal. You
Speaker 1: did not have to mask up between bites during the meal.
Speaker 1: But I sat down at this restaurant, and this is
Speaker 1: maybe June of twenty twenty one, I would think something
Speaker 1: like that. I sit down in this restaurant and the
Speaker 1: manager comes running over and says, excuse me, sir, could
Speaker 1: you pull your mask up? And I said, well, but
Speaker 1: I'm sitting like this is the rules are? You know?
Speaker 1: I can't eat through a mask? So the rules are
Speaker 1: I'm sitting and he goes, no, no, no, here, we
Speaker 1: request that until you've ordered your until you've at least
Speaker 1: ordered a drink or food, you continue to mask at
Speaker 1: the table. And I'll never forget. I pointed there was
Speaker 1: a glass of water on the table already, and I said,
Speaker 1: that's a drink, isn't it. And his face was just,
Speaker 1: you know, cannot compute. Yeah, so the water doesn't count.
Speaker 1: I order a beer and that's okay. The COVID won't come,
Speaker 1: but the water does it. People. I it changed my
Speaker 1: you of humanity, honestly, and it's in a pretty scary way.
Speaker 1: And with the vaccines the same thing. I mean, you
Speaker 1: had people that were cheering for folks to get fired
Speaker 1: from their jobs for something that was that was a
Speaker 1: complete failure and that never worked the way that they
Speaker 1: told us it would it would work, and none of
Speaker 1: them seem sorry. I've seen one guy, he's actually an
Speaker 1: Australian fitness influencer who did a true Maya Colpa like,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to all my fans. I was way too
Speaker 1: trusting and got all this wrong. Have you seen anybody
Speaker 1: who's really come out and said, look, I was a jackass,
Speaker 1: my bad. No, do you know what? Actually I had
Speaker 1: not seen anyone publicly in the public eye do it,
Speaker 1: but I think it was last weekend. I had my
Speaker 1: first person say somebody that. It was a friend of
Speaker 1: mine's husband and we'd go out for dinner and he'd say,
Speaker 1: I just want every unvaccinated person in my company fired,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, and I had to hold my tongue
Speaker 1: because I thought we're going to blow up and have
Speaker 1: a huge argument in a restaurant and this is so
Speaker 1: inappro So he actually messaged me and he said, you
Speaker 1: know what, I've listened to this podcast and I've been
Speaker 1: doing a bit of research and I've done a completely
Speaker 1: Nutter one eighty and I complete again. So that was
Speaker 1: the first one. That's my first one. But that wasn't
Speaker 1: a friend I lost. It just became like we stopped
Speaker 1: kind of hanging out as helps anymore because it just
Speaker 1: got really awkward. But it's it's kind of good. So
Speaker 1: that was my That's my first one. But nothing. I've
Speaker 1: not really seen anyone publicly, although actually I'm wrong. There
Speaker 1: was a there was an MP who came out and
Speaker 1: said that he's now vaccine injured. And he came out
Speaker 1: and he said, I think we should have a halt
Speaker 1: in a suspension of the vaccines until we find out
Speaker 1: what's going on. And he actually said this is the
Speaker 1: craziest thing. He actually got suspended because he said, and
Speaker 1: he quoted in this quote, he said, I think this
Speaker 1: is one of the worst crimes against humanity since the Holocaust.
Speaker 1: Now he didn't compare it to the Holocaust. He didn't
Speaker 1: say it as bad as or worse than, he just
Speaker 1: said since And so he got called anti semitic. They
Speaker 1: said that's an anti Semitic slur, and he's got suspended
Speaker 1: from his job as an MP. As name as Andrew Bridging,
Speaker 1: so and he was actually just quoting somebody, so this
Speaker 1: is the most So there is still insanity going on
Speaker 1: in the UK, but he was somebody that came out.
Speaker 1: I mean, actually, there's a doctor, a Sema Holtra who
Speaker 1: I think on the early days advised people to take
Speaker 1: the jobs who father died after having one. And he's
Speaker 1: done a peer reviewed study and all sorts and he's
Speaker 1: come out and said it. So there's there's maybe a
Speaker 1: little handful of people. So we'll come back to this
Speaker 1: in just a second. I want to ask everybody out

Speaker 1: you tell us a little bit about Jilo. Where did
Speaker 1: you grow up in the UK? I know you ended
Speaker 1: up being on you know your you're a public person,
Speaker 1: right you now do GB News and you've done you
Speaker 1: were in the Real Housewives of Cheshire, which I assume
Speaker 1: is a very part The Real Housewives shows in the
Speaker 1: US are wildly popular, so I assume in the UK
Speaker 1: a lot of people watch it too. You know, give
Speaker 1: us a little bit of your backstory. How did it
Speaker 1: come to be? I mean now I see you on
Speaker 1: GB News, you're talking Vax Ukraine, you're talking whatever. How
Speaker 1: did you get to do you know what is so weird?
Speaker 1: I don't know how it happened. It was I've moved
Speaker 1: back to back to the UK from Lau. My fiancee's
Speaker 1: a musician, so we were moving to an area called Cheshire,
Speaker 1: which is where he's from originally. Job he's not just
Speaker 1: he's not just a musician. You could you could tell everybody,
Speaker 1: can tell the folks he's not a guy who's like
Speaker 1: playing at you know, at the bar for tips. Tell
Speaker 1: everybody who he is. And so it's Billy Duffy from
Speaker 1: the Cults. Um he wrote the songs. He's the guitar
Speaker 1: player from the car. So I never know who who
Speaker 1: knows him on because I mean I didn't when I
Speaker 1: met him. I had to, like I did do a
Speaker 1: Google search. So when Lego Marcus said she didn't google Harrys,
Speaker 1: we both googled each other. Right, So, um, yes, I
Speaker 1: never know who knows or not is a very excellent,
Speaker 1: very excellent band. But so ok, how do you like
Speaker 1: living in la by the way? Um? Well, I well
Speaker 1: I would think I was. I was there eighteen years.
Speaker 1: I got to do the math on this, but I
Speaker 1: think I was like twenty two twenty three when I
Speaker 1: moved out there. Originally, um and at the time I
Speaker 1: was young, I loved it, and UM then to me,
Speaker 1: I started I just started to hate it. I think
Speaker 1: maybe it was about eight or nine years ago I
Speaker 1: started to hate it. I thought, if I stay here,
Speaker 1: I'm going to remain single forever. Um. A lot of
Speaker 1: my friends had moved back to England, got married, had children, UM.
Speaker 1: And I just went to see my sister one day
Speaker 1: and just kind of long to that lovely, quiet, peaceful
Speaker 1: life that she had, just the normal, wholesome life, and
Speaker 1: I was like, right, that's it. I want to move
Speaker 1: back to the UK. And luckily my fiance is English.
Speaker 1: But I did meet him out there, but we kind
Speaker 1: of both decided to come back at the same time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: even though I'm sorry, it's kind of weird because I've
Speaker 1: made up in my mind if I stayed in LA
Speaker 1: I'd be single forever. But I actually met him in
Speaker 1: LA so kind of doesn't make sense. I always get
Speaker 1: told by people that you find you find the person
Speaker 1: when you're not looking for the person. So maybe also
Speaker 1: when you're like, I'm never going to meet someone in
Speaker 1: this town, it's when it actually happens. I think for
Speaker 1: a lot of people, that's a story that I hear.
Speaker 1: Pretty yeah, no, it's true. I like in my mind,
Speaker 1: I was like, right, I'm going back to England. That's it.
Speaker 1: And so maybe that took the pressure off when we,
Speaker 1: you know, on our first few dates, I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm like, so, so, how did the real
Speaker 1: housewives of sure Thing come together? And what's that like?
Speaker 1: What's it like to have them, you know, have the
Speaker 1: cameras and all that stuff around? Is that does it
Speaker 1: take some Like I've gotten used to having a microphone
Speaker 1: or phone me all the time. I'm not really I
Speaker 1: don't like cameras as much. I just like microphones, but
Speaker 1: you know, I have to we do the things for
Speaker 1: the media. Did you enjoy being on that show? What
Speaker 1: was that? Was that a trip? What was it like? Now?
Speaker 1: You know what? It's funny. I did kind of enjoy
Speaker 1: it at the time. But there was a lot of arguments,
Speaker 1: which obviously they want drama, right, So I'm not saying
Speaker 1: it's stage because none of it was stage. I had
Speaker 1: genuine arguments and resented a couple of people and didn't
Speaker 1: get on with a couple of people, But they also
Speaker 1: wanted you to actually like make up. It doesn't look
Speaker 1: good if there's this constant conflict, and I just I couldn't.
Speaker 1: I was really different to a lot of them, not
Speaker 1: materialistic the way they were materialistic. When I saw the
Speaker 1: final edit of it and they cut out stuff that's
Speaker 1: important to me, they cut out saying like my walks
Speaker 1: with my fianc and my dogs. They cut out my niece,
Speaker 1: they cut out my sister, they cut out me with
Speaker 1: my horses. I was just like, you know what, I
Speaker 1: don't don't want to I don't want to stay in this.
Speaker 1: They filmed so much, but they really really like just
Speaker 1: keep like the worst, nastiest, horrible bits. And actually I
Speaker 1: feel like it's a good analogy for a lot of
Speaker 1: the news that goes on, you know, when you watch
Speaker 1: the BBC or something, and especially during COVID, I'm like, gosh,
Speaker 1: there's like all these good things going on, there's all
Speaker 1: these great stories of people getting better, and they're just
Speaker 1: really focusing in on like the worst thing and the
Speaker 1: death rates, not you know, the ninety year old grandma
Speaker 1: who's a lot better so to me, you know, I
Speaker 1: think there was a lot of parallels I saw in
Speaker 1: that as well, when I was doing The Housewives, and
Speaker 1: then once I'd left it and was back and going
Speaker 1: just like it is. Actually, I guess TV and the
Speaker 1: news is like a reality show just picking the worst
Speaker 1: out of people. Well, you know, with the with the Internet,
Speaker 1: there's something we'd talk about a lot, particularly in conservative
Speaker 1: media here, the places like CNN, which back in the
Speaker 1: in the nineties and the eighties to some extent, I
Speaker 1: forget when CNN first came online, but back in the nineties,
Speaker 1: it was a news ticker, right, so you could turn
Speaker 1: on CNN to get the news, and so that was
Speaker 1: its value. It was just hey, you know, this is
Speaker 1: what the stock market's doing, and you know, this country
Speaker 1: is some kind of a conflict and it could be.
Speaker 1: It always had a perspective and it was it was
Speaker 1: Democrat leading, but it was presenting news. But now because
Speaker 1: of the Internet and there's a million news sites and
Speaker 1: it's instantaneous, and then there's also social media and the
Speaker 1: sharing of news there, some of these news entities have
Speaker 1: had to just go more and more into the outrage
Speaker 1: machinery and essentially propaganda and manipulation of emotion just to
Speaker 1: draw audience. Right, So this is where you got into
Speaker 1: commentary really in place of news at a lot of
Speaker 1: places entirely. And it's also why I think people who
Speaker 1: watch the news too much. And I work in the news,
Speaker 1: but I always say I tell people listen to my
Speaker 1: podcast and then go for a walk in the park.
Speaker 1: Like people who do too much of this, it is
Speaker 1: designed to make them unhappy, and it is warring propaganda
Speaker 1: machines for the most part, so it's like you need
Speaker 1: some of it, but not too much of it, right,
Speaker 1: And I think I'm in the US as well, it's
Speaker 1: not as bad as in the UK because the UK
Speaker 1: have this like governing body called Offcom and they're supposed
Speaker 1: to you know, usually Offcom as well. People write to
Speaker 1: them if someone's wearing something a little bit too skimpy
Speaker 1: on like our equivalent of you've got is it dancing
Speaker 1: with the stars? You have? And you know, so we've
Speaker 1: got like dancing on ice strictly come dancing and if
Speaker 1: something someone's wearing something too skimpy, like people in and complaint.
Speaker 1: But what's also happened is that people will do that
Speaker 1: if they don't like what's being said about the vaccines,
Speaker 1: or if they don't like what was being said about lockdown.
Speaker 1: They'll be like this is really dangerous, and then they've
Speaker 1: flood places like gb News with all these complaints and
Speaker 1: then people kind of get investigated and it's just this
Speaker 1: whole long drawn out process. So instead of being like this,
Speaker 1: you know, regular literary body that is balanced it's all,
Speaker 1: it's become part of this like misinformation machine. And then
Speaker 1: you see like the chief executive of Offcom then is
Speaker 1: going to Davos and speaking to the w EF. So
Speaker 1: it's like hold on a minute, like this is also
Speaker 1: intertwined with the British media. It's very it's it's yeah,
Speaker 1: it's very different from the US. I think, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I don't think you guys have obviously you don't have
Speaker 1: a constitution, but I don't think that they're the same
Speaker 1: legal protections for speech, right, I mean, if someone says
Speaker 1: something that is essentially disturbing the piece in some capacity,
Speaker 1: meaning that it says something that upsets enough people. I
Speaker 1: always see these articles in the Daily Mail, which by
Speaker 1: the way is a new site that I read a lot. Well,
Speaker 1: the cops will come knock on the or bobbies do
Speaker 1: we call the bobbies? Right? Okay, I don't know, we
Speaker 1: don't do it so much anymore. Yeah, but you know
Speaker 1: what I've noticed, actually we're picking up a lot of
Speaker 1: the American terms because it used to be police and
Speaker 1: cops used to be so American, but now everyone says
Speaker 1: cops here. So yeah, it is. It is a quick
Speaker 1: and easy, easy shorthand. By the way, since since we're
Speaker 1: talking linguistics for a second here, so would your accent
Speaker 1: be considered. I'm fascinated by British accents. I've talked about
Speaker 1: this on radio because they like, first of all, whenever
Speaker 1: there's a historical piece, So if we're setting a show
Speaker 1: or a movie an ancient Rome, even if it's made
Speaker 1: by Americans, we need them all to have British accents,
Speaker 1: which we just kind of right because they would have
Speaker 1: been speaking Latin, so why they have to have British
Speaker 1: accents of the first American accents never but we just
Speaker 1: think like, oh, fancy historical British. But then you also
Speaker 1: have there's like fancy accents up here. Well, oh, I
Speaker 1: do a lot of things you know that you have
Speaker 1: the the you know, the like, so the soldier, the
Speaker 1: everyday soldier is going to have more of I guess
Speaker 1: a Cockney accent, and so is your accent men Cunian
Speaker 1: or what what would yours be considering? No, okay, so
Speaker 1: mine is really messed up. So I'm from the south
Speaker 1: of England, um, so I would think it would be
Speaker 1: considered quite hosh. But then I went to live in
Speaker 1: London for a bit and I don't know, my accent
Speaker 1: just seems to keep changing all the time. And then
Speaker 1: I moved to America, where everyone thought I was Australian
Speaker 1: because I started to pick up this twang. And I
Speaker 1: think when English people moved to America they start to
Speaker 1: sound Australian. Um. And I don't know how that is,
Speaker 1: but that that does kind of happen. You get before
Speaker 1: you sound America and you start to sound Australian. Then
Speaker 1: I moved back and my fiance is from Manchester, so
Speaker 1: he's man Keunian. So then I pick up these northern bits.
Speaker 1: But now I actually live in the middle of the
Speaker 1: country from Birmingham. I don't know if you've ever watched
Speaker 1: Peaky Blinders. Oh it's one of my favorite shows. Yes,
Speaker 1: So it's that kind of act. So mine is just
Speaker 1: is a mess And depending on who I speak too,
Speaker 1: I somehow pick up little twangs of things. It's very strange.
Speaker 1: It's very strange. I've got a weird accent. And also
Speaker 1: so can you. This would be kind of fun because
Speaker 1: most people listen, so we were people watching on videos
Speaker 1: so they can see you, but most people be listening
Speaker 1: to this on audio only. So if you were going
Speaker 1: to tell me in an American like, speak for me
Speaker 1: in an American accent, your version of the most American
Speaker 1: accent you can do about um? Why you know, did
Speaker 1: you spend much time in New York too, or only
Speaker 1: Los Angeles? No, just la Los Angeles. Tell me tell
Speaker 1: me something about being you know, your favorite things about
Speaker 1: Los Angeles in an American accent. I just want to
Speaker 1: hear it because I always found it funny when these
Speaker 1: British actors are cast in American roles and they all
Speaker 1: so could you guys all complain about how our accents
Speaker 1: so terrible? We all shound like, you know, we use
Speaker 1: this thing right, and you all the Brits all make
Speaker 1: fun of us. But I see all these guys that
Speaker 1: come over and they try to do the American accent
Speaker 1: and they all kind of talk like like their face
Speaker 1: is really tight. They're like yeah, Now I'm American, you know,
Speaker 1: so what is your do you an American accent? About
Speaker 1: Los Angeles living for the audience per second, I'll just
Speaker 1: have to do it like I'll have to ask with
Speaker 1: something can I have some water please? And can I
Speaker 1: have some butter? And then it was basically because when
Speaker 1: I used to say water, can I have some water?
Speaker 1: That'd be like hot and then you'd have to go
Speaker 1: like water and like yeah, so it was it was rich.
Speaker 1: So oh, I think I get some bread. I'd say
Speaker 1: can I have some buttered? Place? And then it's a
Speaker 1: huh oh, oh butter? Can I have some butter? Okay?
Speaker 1: Did you find that's funny because your American kind of
Speaker 1: actually sounds like a valley girl, which I'm sure you're
Speaker 1: familiar with that concept from Los Angeles and girls who
Speaker 1: are from the you know, the valley near la um Uh?
Speaker 1: Did you find that Americans? And like, did you get
Speaker 1: tired after a while if people all being fascinated by
Speaker 1: because Americans are still fascinated by British accents, like we
Speaker 1: hear one, We're like, oh that's so cool. You know,
Speaker 1: we don't get that anywhere, Like we don't go to
Speaker 1: Canada and they're like, oh, speak more in your in
Speaker 1: your American accent for us A like they don't care
Speaker 1: at all. So was that something that was a common
Speaker 1: place for you in La or people just were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's La. Yeah. No, I think it was norm when
Speaker 1: I would go to other places or i'd leave La
Speaker 1: and go to somewhere else that people would say, Oh,
Speaker 1: I'll say that again, say that again. I'll speak a
Speaker 1: bit of things. So well, they try and do my
Speaker 1: accent pretty badly. But yeah, does anyone do Are there
Speaker 1: any American actors that you've seen who you're like that
Speaker 1: one that man or woman really pulls it off? Well,
Speaker 1: you know, like Angelia and Jolie went through a phase
Speaker 1: or she was always trying to do British roles. It
Speaker 1: seems you know some of them. Is there anyone here
Speaker 1: like that person really nailed it? Oh gosh, I don't know. Actually,
Speaker 1: I was watching UM I was coming back from holiday
Speaker 1: and I watched Gangs of New York and I thought
Speaker 1: Leonardo did a good Irish accent, but that's obviously not English.
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I can't think because usually if
Speaker 1: they're that good, it doesn't stand out because I think
Speaker 1: they're I think they're English until they speak, So let
Speaker 1: me do you can you tell right away? I mean
Speaker 1: so as an American when I hear somebody, if I
Speaker 1: hear somebody from Boston, from the South, from the Midwest,
Speaker 1: it's a little harder actually with California unless they have
Speaker 1: kind of a prototypical and there's actually a Florida accent.
Speaker 1: I'm done in Miami now, so there's a it's a
Speaker 1: Miami accent, not a Florida accent, but there's a very
Speaker 1: specific Miami speech and cadence that people have which feels
Speaker 1: almost like a Latin like has almost like a more
Speaker 1: of a English Spanish crossover, a Latin rhythm to it.
Speaker 1: Can you tell, like when someone speaks, are you like
Speaker 1: that person's from Birmingham that can you tell right away?
Speaker 1: Or is it a little bit hard oh in England? Yes, yeah, definitely,
Speaker 1: you definitely can tell. Sometimes. The weirdest thing is that sometimes,
Speaker 1: or when I was living in America, I would get
Speaker 1: mixed up between Irish and Scottish just because I hadn't
Speaker 1: heard them for so long. But you can definitely tell,
Speaker 1: I think between like Liverpool Birmingham from down south Cockney,
Speaker 1: the ones I struggle with a kind of like the
Speaker 1: Yorkshire and Sheffield, the Yorkshire and Sheffield and Manchester a
Speaker 1: little bit to some extent because when I met Billy,
Speaker 1: I thought he sounded like Ned Stark from Game of Thrones.
Speaker 1: He's like Yorkshire or Sheffield. And he's like, I don't
Speaker 1: sound like him. I'm from Manchester and he's from like Sheffield.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, you're northern. You all kind of
Speaker 1: sound the same to me, but there's Newcastle sounds very different,
Speaker 1: like I can almost not even understand what they're saying
Speaker 1: and need a translator and they speak so strangely, but
Speaker 1: like you can definitely tell Liverpool and Birmingham. And yeah,
Speaker 1: and I know you have you mentioned this briefly and
Speaker 1: from uh, you know social media. I know you love horses.
Speaker 1: Has that been a lifelong thing? Or do you do?
Speaker 1: You do? You do you ride? Do you do you
Speaker 1: want to breed horses? Like what's the do you show them?
Speaker 1: What do you do? So? I show jump a little bit,
Speaker 1: but just for fun, like I'm not, you know, not
Speaker 1: professional or anything like that. Um, and I have I
Speaker 1: have three horses here at home now. Um and I
Speaker 1: did start I started to ride out that I loved them.
Speaker 1: When I was a little girl, I was like absolutely
Speaker 1: obsessed with them. I had little, my little ponies, and
Speaker 1: then I got a little my dead parents got me
Speaker 1: a little pony because in the UK, back in the
Speaker 1: day kind of it was a thing. There's loads of
Speaker 1: land that you know, there's a lot of space if
Speaker 1: you don't live in London, loads of fields, and we
Speaker 1: just had a little I had a little pony. I
Speaker 1: probably stopped riding when I was about sixteen, and then
Speaker 1: back in la when I got fed up with you know,
Speaker 1: kind of going out and all of that, I ended
Speaker 1: up buying myself another horse. So I was probably about
Speaker 1: had him ten years now, So I was about thirty four,
Speaker 1: and I got myself a horse out there, and then
Speaker 1: just the love of it all came back, and I
Speaker 1: think I just wondered to myself, I wonder what would
Speaker 1: have happened if I had carried on riding at like sixteen,
Speaker 1: if I would even have gone to America, because I
Speaker 1: think horsey people are a little bit obsessed. And my
Speaker 1: fiance away says, I'm completely in Nataline saying, because I
Speaker 1: had one horse and then I moved back to England.
Speaker 1: I got another horse, and then as soon as we
Speaker 1: had we moved to a place where I could have
Speaker 1: them at home. There was a spare stable. I decided
Speaker 1: I needed to fill it by getting another horse. And
Speaker 1: you said dogs too, right, so give us what's the
Speaker 1: hole menagerie here, we've got three horses, We got some
Speaker 1: dogs and two dogs. Both my dogs are fifteen now.
Speaker 1: So I got them when I was living in America,
Speaker 1: and yeah, they came back with me. One of my
Speaker 1: horses came back with me, um, and then got two
Speaker 1: horses here. Yeah, so it's all swim across the Atlantic.
Speaker 1: That horse must be in really good ship. Slew he
Speaker 1: flew a fancy horse by a shipping container. But apparently
Speaker 1: he flew. That's very cool. So yeah, no, no, it's
Speaker 1: it's it's crazy. They have like um, I think it's
Speaker 1: it's klm. They have like a whole um half a
Speaker 1: section I think for animals that are being transported. So
Speaker 1: they do have like the shipping container for three horses,
Speaker 1: and it is usually race horses or something that go
Speaker 1: on that ship to Europe. But I do have to
Speaker 1: give you a film recommendation that is near and dear
Speaker 1: to my heart for a few reasons. Have you seen
Speaker 1: the documentary about the horse whisperer called Buck, Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I have seen it. I love it. I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: I think it is great, not just because it's a
Speaker 1: great name, but it is great because the guy is
Speaker 1: really he's amazing. I mean, that was a very and
Speaker 1: for anyone who's listening or watching if you haven't seen,
Speaker 1: it didn't get a ton of like a lot of press,
Speaker 1: I feel like, and it was really really good for
Speaker 1: what it was. And I actually I'm supposed to with
Speaker 1: my fiance I'm supposed to watch Sea Biscuit in the
Speaker 1: next week. We've talked about watching Sea Biscuit for one
Speaker 1: of our movie nights coming up, so you know, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so I have to. Can you see that? Actually I
Speaker 1: think it wasn't here a little race horse apparently a
Speaker 1: very good Yeah, yeah, very good. But I think he
Speaker 1: was small. I might be confusing him with an oh yeah, no,
Speaker 1: we need a little engine that could story here, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It needs to be a David
Speaker 1: and Goliath thing. I'm sure he's probably the horror. They're like, Oh,
Speaker 1: he's just gonna be carrying like you know, moving a
Speaker 1: card around or you know, he's worthless, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden he kicks all the other horses asses Like.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it, I don't even know the story,
Speaker 1: but I have a feeling that's probably probably where this
Speaker 1: is going, right. I mean, I don't think see biscuit
Speaker 1: ends up like smoking cigarettes and not meeting his full potential.
Speaker 1: So I think that's a that's a good thing for sure.
Speaker 1: So where should people go? Leilani defined more of both
Speaker 1: your commentary, your GB news stuff is great over in
Speaker 1: the UK. Um. I know you're doing stuff with Mark
Speaker 1: Stein over there, right, So where should people follow? Yes? Yeah, so, um,
Speaker 1: I have got new Instagram it's Lanie doubt. You can't
Speaker 1: I can't use my full name still, so don't grasp
Speaker 1: me up to Instagram, will report me um and Twitter
Speaker 1: it's Leilani Doubting. And I also am hosting a show
Speaker 1: on a channel called Iconic Um. It's a subscription channel,
Speaker 1: but some of the shows go out on Rumble and
Speaker 1: YouTube um, and it's it's kind of it's talking about
Speaker 1: what's in the news. But because we're not on TV,
Speaker 1: we're not governed by offcom and we can just speak
