Show Notes and Transcript June Slater is someone who saw the dangers of uncontrolled immigration and spoke out.  She is an accidental media voice who now speaks common sense to her 121 K followers on X and delivers truths on GB News.  The problem is that many of us see the collapse of our communities and societies but keep quiet.  But June is someone who cannot hold her tongue and says what many of us are thinking but too afraid to say.  She joins us to look at our failing institutions and ask, can we ever trust them again?  Parliament and Police, local government, courts and education have always held our country together.  But when they mock and ridicule the public and play them for fools then that balance and trust collapses.  June highlights the areas in which our previously trusted institutions have failed us and asks whether we can ever put our faith in them again. June Slater is a retired businesswoman who lives in the North-West of England.  June has been campaigning for Brexit since 2016 when she joined Vote Leave's campaign in Blackburn.  Since then she has built a huge following as a social and political commentator on her social media channels.  Her no-nonsense, straightforward approach is a refreshing and invigorating change to the uni-party Westminster Politics.

No, not at all. It's always good talking to people. Actually, the fun part is talking to people who you don't really know and you see online, you see on TV, and of course people can follow you @JuneSlater17 is your Twitter handle. And certainly you popped up on my feed a lot. Maybe for the viewers, certainly for our US viewers who may not have come across you, June, you're UK based obviously and being on GB News, it may not cross over the pond stateside. Do you want to just give us a minute, just your background or how you've got to where you are and then we'll get on to the topic, which is can we ever trust our institutions again, but tell us a little bit about yourself first. Okay, I'm a retired businesswoman and my only intention was after retirement when I was about 47 was to fill my house with rescue dogs and just have a nice time. Running a second home in Austria, travelling there with the dogs, that was it. I knew nothing about politics, never took any notice of it, didn't affect my business life. I just got on with what I wanted to do. And then we got attacked a couple of times at the Channel Tunnel with migrants. When I say attacked, not directly, they were trying to break into trucks, and we ended up in a wrong queue in our rather low -slung Mercedes CLS, which seemed to be dwarfed by these huge trucks. And a guy jumped off the back and came towards the car, and I was mesmerized for a minute. He was huge and he had something that looked like a crowbar in his hand trying to get in the truck, but it didn't work. He was angry and we were next in line. And I just said to Dave, Jesus Christ, get up the hard shoulder, just go. And as he came towards the car, I had a particularly noisy dog. I had four little dogs in the back, Westies, but one sounded bigger and they were blacked out windows so he couldn't see them. So I let the window down a little bit and my dogs kicked off and he backed away. But as he approached the car, he went up to my passenger window and he went, hey, blondie, he did that? So we drove off up the hard shoulder, which you're not supposed to do, got ourselves together and I wondered who the hell it was. And he said, who do you think it is? And I had no idea about the migrant crisis, hold my hand up. my husband was pretty well versed on what was going on in the world, I was naïve completely. Then another time...  How long ago was that?  2015.  Okay. Then we were traveling on Christmas Day and we did the crossing when we got out the other end at Calais. The whole of the six lanes of motorway was cordoned off. We just drove out sat in a queue and it was on fire with a barricade that the migrants had made with tires and wood and whatever they could find. There was at least, I think, about 80 police vans, riot police. It was terrifying. So again, I just thought we've got to get out of this. We're sitting ducks because these maggots were kind of spreading out and throwing rocks. So we went, we used an entry road for an exit and we just got off the motorway the wrong way and went on the back lanes. I was that nervous, I couldn't fathom me sat nav out to avoid motorways. It kept taking me back to the motorway and obviously we were very nervous about coming across them again. So we drove for about 60 miles without stopping to make sure we're out of the way and that's when I started taking it seriously because I thought this is peacetime. I'm in Europe, I'm just going from my home to my holiday home in the Alps in Austria. I'm going to ski in winter and swim in summer, what the hell's going on? So I started investigating it, lamely at first, then I got more stuck and more stuck in and as I'd always said to my husband, don't involve me in politics because I am like a dog with a bone, I won't let go. So I got more stuck in and I realised that this was a deliberate attempt to disrupt Europe. And it sounded a bit far -fetched. I was in denial when I first found out and I even came off Facebook for a couple of days. I couldn't handle it and then I thought people should know because there were more people like me than like my husband who knew what was going on. He wasn't politically active, he just knew what was going on. He knew something was wrong. So I started telling my friends on Facebook. I have about 1,000 friends on Facebook from real life events working for me or friends from school and I started telling them and I started finding out more about it and then I decided to... I thought Brexit was a good idea to get away from the EU legislation that was allowing them in because the only thing the EU legislation has ever done has been a gateway for cheap labour. It's not free movement of people, it's free movement of cheap labour for Tory backers. Having always voted Conservative, that probably sounds a bit odd, but anyway. So I joined Vote Leave as a volunteer and went out at the weekends and I could see that this business of campaigning with leaflets was a bloody old hat, it wasn't moving with the times and I thought I'm quite a good communicator. I used to have a driving school with a high pass rate because I could communicate information well and I'm quite good at putting complex stuff into simple terms. So I thought, I'll have a go, I'll have a go, because it seemed to me the political bubble deliberately spoke their own language to keep ordinary people out. So I started explaining what Brexit was really about. It wasn't about the pet passport, it wasn't about the e -hicks card, it was not about easy travel, it was certainly not about free movement of people. It was about creating an entity to get everybody roped into it until they were linked like the United States and couldn't get out of it. And then they would come down with the tyrannical version of events because as you know the EU is autocratic not democratic it's anti -democratic it's not just not democratic it's anti -democratic. Because they're creating laws all the time, their MPs, I don't know if your American viewers realise their MPs are told how to vote, they do not get a free vote, they're given a list, votes going every day, they create it a bit like the Roman Empire describing something out every day to you know there's legislation to follow all the time, where democratic societies have generally run with a list of basic requirements, don't murder people, don't rob, don't rape, don't do this and get on with your life. Sadly we seem to be following suit even though we have voted for Brexit. So I turned my page over to public, which scared me to death and I got quite a lot of abuse and I was going to pack up, because Dave said we don't need this in our life, which we didn't, And something, I don't know. Something drove me on because I could see millions of people wanted to know what Brexit was about. So I organised, people kept messaging me, new people I didn't even know, June what does it mean? Because I don't think this EU's any good. So we'd have meetings, I'd say, right, well, you know, little factory workers on the lunch hour or hairdressers, people within, you know, in an engineering shed. So they'd have their sandwiches, get a computer, and we'd have a meeting at like 12 o 'clock, half past 12. So I had little groups of people where I told them what Brexit was really about, and these were people that weren't even going to vote at all in the referendum. And I'm quite proud to say, I think I probably encouraged, I thought it was about 5 ,000, but I think it's more like 15 ,000 people, to vote to Brexit. And that was just, I'd only just started, I'd only had 4 ,000 followers. I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't intend to get a load of followers, I've never asked anybody to follow me, I've never made any money out of it, I've never took a penny off anyone. Twitter give you a bit of money now, 38 quid I've had, so I haven't dined off Twitter, I can assure you. I didn't even touch Twitter because it scared me to death, it looked like a bloody bear pit. So I didn't start Twitter properly till last July, Not this July, just gone the one before because it just looked like a load of aggressive people with avatars and no sodding names. Having a go at each other, I thought I can do without that. Anyway, I just retweeted other people's stuff from 2019. And then I thought, sod it. I didn't know whether my style of vlogging would go down very well with my little short videos that I do, two minutes here and three minutes there. So I did a couple of videos about issues and they were getting 300 ,000 views, one at 900 ,000 views, another had a million. So all of a sudden I went around on Twitter and I'd gone from 6 ,000 followers to 19 ,000 followers to 22 ,000 to 36 ,000 and it grew and grew quite quickly in 12 months. I'm at about 120 I think now. Baring in mind, I'm not a celebrity. I haven't been a former dancer or a football player. I'm just a mush that sees the world is going to hell in a handcart and if we, the people, don't do something about it, we won't get a choice in it soon. Currently we have a choice and that's why I keep going. So that's my background into this. I'm basically a fun -loving person who only joined social media to run a fun group with jokes on. I don't know where that ended up. Now you've become an online voice of reason and GB news, all of that. It's interesting because I knocked on so many doors, did all of that with UKIP and with vote leave. Immigration, obviously, this is a massive failing in our Parliament, which is one institution which I traditionally believed in, accepted, and now many of us are the opposite opinion. But not only immigration, but the COVID tyranny has woken a lot of people up to what is happening in Parliament in Westminster. We've just had the, well, we have the public inquiry, which seems to be the biggest waste of time. But what were you, because immigration, but then you've obviously seen, lived, spoken about the the COVID tyranny and there's no apology, there's no parliamentarian saying we got it wrong, oops, it's just same old, same old. There's one politician, normally the British Parliament has a government and opposition party, that's all part of the government, it's the King's opposition, the King's government. We haven't had any opposition and that always struck me as odd. How come a Labour party is backing up a Tory party? Easy, it's easy to work it out, they're not Tories. Anybody out there who's thinking of voting for the Tories to save them from Labour, you're dreaming pal, you are absolutely dreaming. Oh but Labour are worse, the Tory party have ended up in power in this country for 13 years on the back of a threat that Labour are worse. They're the same, it's the uni-party, nobody's offering anything any different, all roads lead to Rome, the WEF, the W -E -F. Let's just cut the crap about the WEF as some spooky sinister organisation. It's not. It's just a basically glorified chamber of trade that's for the upper echelon in society. It's like your local chamber of trade but for really big hitters. So politicians gravitate towards this set of comedians because if they ever lose their seat, and many of them will. They've somewhere to go, they've rubbed shoulders with people and swapped business cards and, you know, like Chuka Amunna, he's ended up with a top -flight job because he went to the WEF. Sadiq Khan, that atrocious man, he hangs around there like a bad smell in a gent's toilet. He's always there. Boris wouldn't allow his ministers and MPs to go to the Davos conference. Strange bloke, Boris, very strange. I think what we've got to look at is, don't be afraid of them. The only difference between the WEF and you and me, they have more money. That's it. They are not smarter, they are not cleverer. Some of them have ulterior motives, many of them have, and a lot of it boils down to one old favourite, profit. Now, some weirdos that are part of the WEF want to control humanity. Well, the Nazis tried that in two world wars and there's lots of rumours about a lot of overhang from that. The European Union was basically a Nazi plan devised after the Second World War to take over Europe through the banking system because President Eisenhower stitched Germany up into to an agreement, a treaty, that doesn't expire until 2099. And that is, they're not allowed to have an aggressive army. They can only have a peacekeeping force. It's a treaty. They're a vassal state to the US. And a lot of things that are going on, everything that's happened since Black Lives Matter is interconnected. Every single event, I don't care what it is, it's all interconnected, to disrupt and destabilize. Because it seems strange to me in America, all the states that have the disruption with Black Lives Matter were basically Democrat states. And lots of property deals have been done since in these areas that got trashed. And a lot of people have made money. I mean, basically, you seem to have four crime families running in America. Good God, how can these people even get up in the morning and show their faces? And I'm sorry, some of you may be offended by this, but if any of you in the States are actually thinking Joe Biden won an election, I think you should change your tablets, because there's absolutely no way that man won. Absolutely no way he won. He fiddled it. That's my opinion and currently I'm allowed to have it, but sometime in the future I'll probably won't. So my worry for the future is, wow, if the leaders of the free world, can engineer an election, where a dribbling man who can't string a sentence together, who has to hold a cue card up to talk to someone who he's interviewing. If the free world can end up in those hands, what hope is there for the rest of us? Because it seems to me, the only thing I can work out is it's like the Clinton, Obama cabal behind it, because no way Joe Bedridden, that's my name for him, is running America. Absolutely no sodding way. So all of a sudden America's... Trump, it doesn't matter whether you like him, people sadly still judge him on his comb over and his tan. I mean, I get that. So he didn't want to go to war with anyone. He had Jews talking to Arabs. He even got North Korea down off the shelf. What was your problem with that man? He increased manufacturing in the US. Hello, are you listening to all this? This is a list of stuff and he never even took a wage. Now you've got a crime family who's got a a coke snorting son who's been in and out of bed with underage people. That's what it looks like on some places, I could be wrong, happy to stand corrected. Who's had everything bad that he's done covered up. They're dealing with Ukraine, where money laundering, organ harvesting, and Christ knows what else is going on. And this is the family that's running America. Wow, you are in a mess. You are in a serious mess. Buddy-ing up to China, and then you've got Russia. This is what kills me. Russia. Oh, be afraid of Russia. Oh, scary. Bogey man. Bad man. Russia man bad. Zelensky good. Bollocks. Bollocks. Absolute bollocks. Zelensky won his ticket on a peace agreement. He said he'd signed a peace agreement with Russia. That's what Russia expected. And what's he called? Robert Kennedy. He tells you quite openly in one of his interviews that once Zelensky got in, the neo-cons nobbled him. We don't know how, but they nobbled him and he changed tack. There should have been a peace agreement, the Minsk accord. It was never signed. And then what they did after the war broke out, they got Boris Johnson like a sodding lapdog to go across and scupper the peace talks for the Minsk Accord too, which was basically going to stop war again. What I've noticed with warmongering people like the Biden administration, they'll risk anybody's son but their own. They're always fighting on someone else's soil and it's always their people. It's their nation that'll get ripped to shreds. It's their people that are dying on their own soil. it's disgusting what's going on. So we're all told this is a great war saving democracy and freedom and if you can't see through the fact that during a war this lunatic has never been out of khaki clothing yet never been to a battle. You've got Richard Branson turning up for a visit in the middle of a war dressed in white. You've got Boris Johnson going. you've got celebrities, you've got Vogue magazine going with a full film crew, hello, that isn't what happens in war. Usually people are too scared to go to a country that's at war. You've got refugees coming here that are paid for by the Department of Work and Pensions, paid to go home when they want to sort things out, like one was going home because she had a bad tenant in her house. So I'm thinking to myself, hang on a minute, if you've got a tenant in your house back in Ukraine, weren't you in your house? What are you doing over here? You've got a tenant in, you're making money out of it. So obviously the house is standing. This doesn't detract from genuine grief, genuine injury and genuine death that's going on in Ukraine right now. They're using that country. It's a patsy country run by corruption from outside forces. That's my opinion. Again, happy to stand corrected if I'm wrong. So we've got all this going on. And you've got a set of people in the British Parliament, the mother of all parliaments, who are rancid in corruption. It's a den of vice as far as I can see it. There are people there, there's an MP whose sister is vaccine injured, she's got Guillain -Barre syndrome. You've got two male MPs that have vaccine injured wives. You've got three that have minor vaccine injuries and nobody's saying a word. Shh! Don't say anything. Don't complain about it. So you've got a Parliament and this is how people have got to wake up. In Britain we have the National Health Service. It's atrocious. It's not fit. It's not fit. It's absolutely... You go on about the tiered system in America. Oh my God, you should see the NHS in Britain. How can the public roll the sleeve up, accept an injection that's brand new on the back of the government are bothered about you, the government really care? How can they do that when during that period the very self -same government took 5 ,000 beds away in the NHS, there aren't enough ambulances, there aren't enough paramedics. People are sitting in a hospital after they've gone because of an episode, whatever's gone on, serious episode, sat in soiled pyjamas in corridors waiting to be seen. And yet they can find an interpreter to come immediately for someone who needs attention, that can't speak English. That's a side issue. The real issue is common sense people never lose sight of that. You can't go to university for it and all you need to do is question the obvious. Right, if the government cared about us, surely in a growing population the best they could have done, even for a pandemic, would be to grow our national health, to have more doctors, to have more beds, not take 5 ,000 away when you've already taken 15 ,000 away from us in 2017. That doesn't add up to me, that isn't care, that is cost cutting. Yeah, following on from that, because we've seen, and the one MP that is standing up is Andrew Bridgen, we've had him on here twice, I think, before, but not only on what's happening with COVID on vaccine harms, but also his latest 10 minute bill is on the WHO pandemic treaty, looking at that, and that seems to be a follow on from COVID. Everyone is scared to death, therefore this is now the solution. And it is, again, it is, when you say unbelievable, at one point it would been unbelievable to think our politicians would hand over power but they did it with Brussels, with the EU and the WHO, the UN body, I guess is another step in that process of handing all power over. Well basically it's muted any benefit we could have had from Brexit because they're just taking power away, they're taking sovereignty away from us now through the back door. They tried it with the EU and we voted to leave. You see two things happened that should never have happened. Trump won and, Brexit won. So I got a lot of stick because I said that Agenda 2030, Agenda 2021, 2021 being the century not the year, were nothing to worry about when I was blogging at the time and people said oh you got that wrong, you got that wrong. No I didn't, no I didn't get it wrong because at that point we got Trump in and we got Brexit. So those two issues should never ever have affected us because as a country we were ring fenced with our own sovereignty to say back away from the vehicle we don't want this shit in our lives, we're not interested in your depopulation, we're not interested in your smart cities, we're going to get on with being the best we can be. We're British, we've got the greatest global reach of any member state of the EU, people forget that, we ski down the ski slopes, we sit on their beaches, we buy their wine, we drive their cars, we wear their clothes. What do they buy from us? Not very much. We are their best customer and they have basically treated us appallingly. Nothing needed to change. No legislation. They could have eased us out of there. We all trade the same. The fact is they didn't want us to. They didn't want Brexit to be made easy because other people would want to leave. And now it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter about Brexit. The only saving grace we've got with Brexit is that during the tyranny of the last three years as they forced 40 ,000 care workers out of their job in an industry, may I say, that's already short -staffed, that has malnutrition in British care homes, malnutrition, and they forced 40 ,000 people out of their jobs that hadn't done anything wrong other than say, I don't want the vaccine and then the together declaration Alan Miller's lot, and which I'm a kind of ambassador for which means I don't know I speak out for them and, nurses 100 ,000 lobbied the government to stop the same happening to the NHS. The government were already shipping people in from abroad that can't speak English. Nurses, how do we know how they're trained? They're coming in from far -flung places to treat people. There's a geriatric hospital where people are wandering around with useless face masks on, where elderly people who are already confused with Alzheimer's and God knows what else, who also are in there with ailments. I've got foreign nurses who don't even know what a bedpan is. Dear God Almighty what's happened to this country. So we've got that going on in the background but we fought back, now had we been in the EU we couldn't have fought back, would have had to do what the EU said and I know this from my neighbour in Austria and in the Alps. We'd sold our house in 2019 but still in touch because we were very very good friends and they had to get vaccinated but to be fair they did have a get out clause if you could prove you got positive antibodies from having the infection you didn't need to have the vaccine so you could go around your business for six months and then you needed another blood test because my neighbour did that. Now the thing is that's quite a good option. But it's not such a good option when you think, in Europe, after the Second World War, they opted for a system where you had to show your papers to get in a restaurant, to get in a supermarket. They could stop you on the street. When is somebody going to wake up and say that that is really seriously bad news? So unfortunately or fortunately I should say we're not in the EU so we could say, no we're not having it, we don't want this and we had a pivotal moment, you know the Tiananmen Square where the guy stood there a little single man in front of the tank, we have that in Britain people didn't notice it, but that's what we had and we had a doctor, a lung and heart specialist, who was Dr, I can't remember his name now, Stephen, I'd seen him in WhatsApp groups, I can't remember his surname. He was live on Sky TV, they couldn't edit it, with Sajid Javid, the then Health Minister at the time, where he said, have you had your vaccine? And he said, no, I don't need it, I've had COVID. And he said it quietly. Stephen James, Dr. Stephen James, that was a Tiananmen Square moment because they couldn't edit it. Because the big thing that's happening to us now is that media, the stuff isn't getting out. So you have to come on places like this and you have to go on my channel, you know, Twitter page. And it's not enough because there are millions of people out there who only trust news from the telly. It has to come from the telly. If it hasn't come to in the house from the telly, it's not news. So when that happened, whoa, that didn't half put the brakes on and it made Sajid Javid look like the uninformed twit that he is on health issues. He's a banker for God's sake. We've got a doctor, Liam Fox, why didn't they make him health minister? He knew that what was going on was wrong. He would have been a much better candidate. Don't get me going on, please don't get me going on Matt Hancock. No, no, no, we'll not even go Matt Hancock, it's a programme series in themselves. There's Parliament absolute collapse, public trust, an old -time loan institution and people no longer give a damn who, and you're right, red and blue is just the same difference. But I'm curious to have your thoughts on the monarchy because I grew up as a monarchist and our American friends will maybe mock the monarchy but I always saw as giving stability and the Queen being certainly a rock in terms of faith and that privacy, never seeking the fame. Complete change with King Charles, obviously tight connections with the WEF and I also read that he's going to give the opening COP28 speech which is the UN climate change body. How do you, again I think a lot of people have lost faith in that institution with that huge change. What are your thoughts on the role that King Charles now plays? Well he's not his mother. His mother kept out of everything and generally speaking in a democracy if you've got a constitution, with a royal family that's the head of the constitution, it's usually a safer place to be and it has been. That's changed. That stopped when she died because he came to power. You want to go look what's happened with him. He's a climate junkie anyway, so that all depends. You know, these people are pampered. They've got gout. They've got things wrong with them. They read what they want to read and they read what Lord Fauntleroy has put in front of them, so it all depends what he chooses to read. So yeah he's really close with the way the WEF want to do things and he called COVID a window of opportunity for a great reset. How? How is the virus everybody basically recovered from, the death rate gladly didn't have enough people in it and a lot of them were elderly anyway, the average age of people dying from COVID was higher than the age you're expected to live anyway, it's 85. How can that be a window of opportunity? For what? We're all locked down, we can't get together, we can't complain, we can't get access to information. So while we're all in that position, let's just bring some tyranny out. What a good idea. No, sod off. Prince Charles, for me, is completely untrustworthy and the monarchy has ended and all that's happening now, these sad, chinless wonders are trying to keep a 1300 year old brand going. We've got Jacinda Ardern, Mr Ed from bloody New Zealand, who's now the right hand monkey of Prince William and his, I always say a money shot, that's porn isn't it? Disgusting. What's it called? Earthshot. He's brought her in, she's left, she's now come to work for him as his right hand. Oh read the writing on the wall people, just because he's got a fit wife that looks nice in really expensive clothing doesn't mean these are nice people. These are not nice people, these are not people that you can trust your future with and that parliament of ours, 650 eunuchs now. Once that WHO pandemic treaty is signed, we have 600, well 649 because Andrew Bridgen's fighting against it. I speak to Andrew quite a lot. He's ruined his own life for this, do you know that? And there's idiots out there saying, oh he's controlled opposition. Don't talk like a canary. He's not controlled opposition. He's apologised four times now, as I've seen it, for joining in the rollout, recommending it, and recommended that the NHS should have it. He's seen the light, he's vaccine injured himself, he's fighting back hard, he's doing his level best, it's ruined his life, his kid's getting bullied, nobody speaks to him at work, they won't sit with him, they're stonewalling, they're horrible, these people are horrible, the power junkies, they're out for themselves, they are not there to represent us. That's what they're supposed to do, but they're not. They've now got to this stage where, you know, Brandon Lewis has turned around and thinks it's a good idea for migrants so we can't even prove where they're from. Open up your homes because we're not happy with the hotel bills we've got for it. Are you mental? Have you got some sort of deranged disorder that, oh yeah, what a good idea, we don't know where they're from, they don't like us, they don't speak English, let's open our homes up and let them live with us. You, I'll tell you what, you fill your homes up first and we'll follow suit. How about that? So this is where these people are absolutely bonkers because once that WHO pandemic treaty is signed, that's it. They control farming, they control agriculture, livestock, the weather, they control whether or not you will be able to see your nan in a nursing home, they will control whether or not you can go to work. You can sit there in Osset Whistle in Lancashire and someone in Geneva can tell you whether or not you can go to work, even though you've got a and even though you're fit and healthy and even though you're not ill, there'll be some reason that they can cause a lockdown and you'll have to do it because the MPs that we pay, £170 million a year for will say it's not us, no no no it's not us, it's the WHO, we have to. Anybody in their right mind only needs to look at the planet to see the planet runs differently in different places. There's a Sahara desert and there's a mountain range called the Himalayas. There's sea and there's land. There's tropical weather and there's warm balmy weather. There's living in the North Atlantic in a set of windswept islands like the UK that gets plenty of water and there's drought in other places. How one body of people can decide what the whole world does to approach anything, be it weather or health, is bad news. It's wrong, it won't work, it will cause death and destruction and we have got 11 MPs we're not allowed to know the identity of that are overseeing this. I showed the WHO pandemic treaty to my solicitor who does a lot of my land deals. I said what do you think of this? And he had, you know, left it a couple of days and he got back to me and went, good God, he said I didn't even know this was, I said well yeah that's what's. He was shocked, he's not politically active. And he said, if this was an agreement for you personally, I'd tell you to not sign it, run a mile. So, we, the wording, people generally, they might buy one or two houses in their life, they never see any legal documentation. That's what they're relying on. I see a lot of stuff. I see a lot of leases. I see a lot of contracts. And I see the wording and over the years, I've got savvy with it where you think, hang on, That actually doesn't mean that in that sentence, that's legal terms for something quite different. That thing is full of it. That despicable piece of legislation is full of traps so that we've got nowhere to hide and nobody on this planet has the right to rule the planet because it's all so varied. The farmers in Holland are having compulsory purchase orders of their farms for less than what they're worth, so that they can stop growing food. Holland grows most of the food for Africa. And what has always amazed me, we're getting down to the bones of it now, I think they've played their hand too soon. They really have played their hand too soon with Covid, because guess what? Loads of us didn't get vaccinated and we're all still alive. Hard luck. And we're all still here banging on about it. So at the beginning, they've not engineered this right. At the beginning, they had the nation on their side. You were granny killers if you were talking like me, etc. Now we're not. Now we know we're not. And the old people's home, you see, everybody has skin in the game. It's not just the politicians. It's everybody connected. they all have their reason for the way they react to legislation. The nursing homes, you can't visit. It's easier to run a nursing home without visitors. It's a lot easier to run a nursing home without visitors. Keep them out, they're a bloody nuisance. Wow, that's easy. Or it's Covid, it's Covid, you can't come in, it's Covid. Yeah right, it's a damn sight easy. And then what happens in a lot of UK nursing homes, regular visitors from loved ones bring them food in because some of them, if they've got mental health issues as well as being infirm, they forget to eat and they get their breakfast tray served, a shift changes, a new girl comes on, takes her breakfast tray away, hasn't noticed the old person hasn't eaten it, or a younger person even. So I had a friend who's got a person in a care home and she took food every day, then she couldn't, and her daughter lost weight. Two Stone! She's only 20 odd. And they were all given DNRs. Do not resuscitate. Who's got the right to do that? Because some bum head politician like Matt Hancock decides that he hasn't got enough insight to think of his own idea. So I'll copy what Jeremy Hunt said when he was Health Minister, which is if there's a, they do these for pandemics, what to do, right, don't let the NHS get overrun, shut the hospitals down. That was the procedure, if they were overrun. He locked them down, the donkey. Not because they were overrun. You get a hospital with 10 wards, one ward open, that's not overrun. That's not a virus running rampant. That's bad administration. We were never overrun. Cardiff Hospital, 94 ICU beds, never had more than 45 of them open. That's not overrun, that's bad management. Bed blocking they call it, when they can't send old people back to the care homes because of Covid. So they keep them in hospital longer, so they can't put new people in. Bad management, that is not a virus, that is not a natural virus that's running through the country, creating a health hazard. The people running the country are the hazard. Bad decision making.  And with the NHS, Nightingale Hospital, supposedly open for that demand, were never used. I just want to finish on one thing that's current. We could go through the collapse of the court system, schools sexualising children, local government, 15 minute cities, that level of control. But I just want to finish just to touch on the armed forces. We've got Armistice day coming up, when the nation stops to remember those who have fallen traditionally in the First and Second World War. And we've never had such a tight connection with our military as maybe our friends across the water in the States do. But I guess it's that public view that we now have police and guards around the cenotaph and some of the monuments to protect them from being attacked and defaced. And that's something that, again, if you go back years, you would never have thought of protecting those because there was that respect. How has that kind of collapsed, that respect, from sections of the public for our armed forces? Because this section of the public don't care about this country. This section of the public only care about what they can get for this country. I think, was it Kennedy who said, don't ask what your country can do for you, what can you do for your country? There's nobody with that ethos or thought process out on the streets of Britain today demonstrating. I'm absolutely floored by what I've seen and I covered what was going on with Syria at the time because I got quite good with a tech guy who was really good at sourcing fake videos and fake footage and he found out about the White Helmets staging these atrocious gas attacks in Syria. It was nothing of the sort. They were faked. I watched them. I watched them make it. I watched the video of them getting a wind machine like a Hollywood movie set, big bag of cement and then that blew it in and then they added the sound effects, going on all the time. It's happening now and I'm not getting into the debate of the Middle East, I'm not interested in it. What I'm bothered about is what happens in this country and in this country you can demonstrate, you have the right to protest, fine, you've got that right but you don't have to do it on the one day of the year. We've become, We don't even respect any other holiday. We just about close our shops for Christmas Day and then, wow, we're opening, we must get those people spending. We have one day, one day a year that means something to a lot of people. We have cenotaphs in villages and towns. We have that one day a year where we should be able to honour our dead because I'm old enough, I'm 65, I'm old enough to have parents who fought in that war, who served in that war, a mother forced to go in a munitions factory as my dad was sent to war at 17. So I know all about it because they talked to me about it because they didn't want to ever see it happen again. And I'd got uncles who were injured in the war. One was in Burma in a prisoner of war camp, came home a neurotic wreck, a skeleton. And all these things happened. Rationing, do these young people out on the streets with the big full bellies and the big fat faces waving the flags realised that people came home from war and then had another 10 years of rationing food where they didn't even get enough food to eat once they served the country. They've got no idea what we went through. I'm sick of being looked at as though it's all right for us because we're in the West and we've got everything. We work for everything we've got. We have put the effort in. We have paid the taxes. We have suffered the losses to get our country to a good standard and their countries are still fighting to get what they want and that does not give you the right to desecrate a day that should be just left untouched. This weekend, Saturday and Sunday, leave it alone. Just give us some breathing space. Do it another day. You're getting plenty of media coverage. I don't know where you're getting your flags from, but they all seem brand new. You're out there. I look at these young faces, a lot of them student types. Well, that's if you can see the face, because the men seem to prefer to cover them up. If I felt so strongly about something, I'd have my face showing and my name showing, as I do on my social media. So I am absolutely appalled, as are many other people. And it's not just happening in London, it's happening in Blackburn, Burnley, Accrington, Darwin, Huddersfield, Manchester. All these people have come out from the woodwork. They're not from this country that they're on about. Half of them don't know what's going on properly. And they don't have the right to desecrate this weekend and chuck our poppies off. Our cenotaph, no flags, no poppies on. It's bad enough on Remembrance Sunday that we have to watch people like Tony Blair and what's he called, the other fella that sold us out to Europe after Maggie.  Gordon Brown. Gordon Brown as well, yeah, but the other fella. He was having an affair with Edwina Currie. What's he called? Mr. Grey.  Oh, John Major. John Major, yeah. It's bad enough watching people like that at the cenotaph with the fake somber attitude and the crumbies on. It turns my stomach that these days of the people that put the effort in, you know, these people are the ones that cause the bloody wars. These are the ones, wars are caused by people in suits and uniforms, but they're fought by people who seldom have them on. They're fought by people told what to do, and they have the audacity to bring these characters out as though they care. They don't care. These are soulless characters in my view. And to have to, all right, we'll stomach that because it's how it is, but we don't have to stomach this lot. We don't have to stomach these angry, entitled, opinionated, and you know what Briton's lack, what Britain has too much of, ingratitude. People come to this country, we print everything we've got in 23 languages so you can understand it and settle in better. We share our school, we share our housing, we share our healthcare, we share everything that we've built up, we share with you. And on this one day, back off, shut up and give us our day. That's what I think, because I am sick of people who have come to this country, and this is not racist, I wouldn't go to your country and expect so much. It's ingratitude. We've given everything we've got to give. Everything we've got to give has been handed over on a plate to people who've never paid a penny in and we're still getting it wrong. We're still told we're not doing enough. Apart from self -flagellation, I don't know what else we can do. You're 100 % and it is that. We welcome people in and haven't had that agreement of what it means to come here in that level of respect because I guess it was expected but you can't assume in this day and age. June, love having you on. So good. As I said, love following you online and great to have you on in person chatting to you. So thanks so much for your time today.  Thank you.

Camilla Shand a 24 ans quand elle rencontre en 1971 le prince Charles, à Londres, dans le quartier huppé de Belgravia. Le fils aîné d'Elizabeth II, principal héritier au trône, est à l'époque un cœur à prendre et le meilleur parti d'Angleterre. Aussitôt, le charme opère entre les deux jeunes gens qui fréquentent les mêmes cercles très fermés et confidentiels de l'aristocratie britannique. Seulement, Camilla n'est pas vraiment la fille qu'attendent les Windsor…  Dans cette mini-série de 4 épisodes, on vous propose de revenir sur le sulfureux destin de la femme de Charles III.

"翻译夏洛特·丘奇许多年前,有人问一位德国歌剧经理,为什么他的许多女主角都长得不好看。他回答说:“长得像马的人唱得像夜莺,反之亦然。”当然,好嗓子不一定配得上漂亮的外表。但在我们这个媒体形象盛行的时代,美貌似乎非常重要。夏洛特·丘奇12岁时录制了她的第一张专辑。歌名是《天使之声》每个人都认为这个小女孩有一个非常大的声音。他们很高兴夏洛不仅听起来像个天使,而且看起来也像个天使。她甜美的学生模样和迷人的微笑是她成功的部分原因。1986年2月,夏洛特·丘奇出生于威尔士的卡迪夫。音乐和歌唱在威尔士文化中非常重要,夏洛特一家都喜欢音乐。虽然威尔士是英国的一部分,但威尔士人对自己的语言、历史和传统感到非常自豪。现在威尔士在卡迪夫有了自己的议会,威尔士文化得到了更有力的推广。夏洛特用威尔士语演唱她的一些歌曲。夏洛特在婴儿时期就开始跟着收音机唱歌,到三岁时,她已经能唱一些流行歌曲了。她九岁时开始上歌唱课夏洛特于1997年初首次出现在电视上。这导致了许多其他的电视和音乐会的亮相。1998年,她与索尼公司签约录制五张专辑。自从夏洛特的第一张专辑发行以来,她花了很多时间进行巡回宣传。因为她是一名女学生,所以她的两位家庭教师和她一起旅行。《天使之声》是在威尔士卡迪夫用五天时间录制的。所有的歌都是夏洛特已经知道和喜欢的。其中包括“派耶稣”、“主祷文”、“耶路撒冷”和“丹尼男孩”。这张专辑于1998年11月9日发行,几周内就登上了流行音乐排行榜的第四位。1999年,她录制了第二张专辑《夏洛特教堂》(Charlotte Church)。旅行包括为音乐行业和媒体人士做“展示”。这是为了鼓励人们推广你的音乐。夏洛特还参加了包括大卫·莱特曼和杰·雷诺在内的许多美国脱口秀节目。她发现自己一遍又一遍地被问到同样的问题。除了媒体名人,夏洛特还见过许多重要的公众人物。因为夏洛特是罗马天主教徒,所以见到教皇特别兴奋。这是在她受邀在梵蒂冈的圣诞音乐会上演唱之后发生的。1998年,她还受邀在查尔斯王子50岁生日派对上演唱。1999年,当她在威尔士国民议会的正式开幕式上唱歌时,她再次见到了王子。伊丽莎白女王和菲利普亲王也和她交谈过。那年晚些时候,她在华盛顿的福特剧院为比尔·克林顿和希拉里·克林顿演唱。人们喜欢夏洛特·丘奇的一点是她没有被名声宠坏。许多演艺圈的孩子大声、傲慢、吵闹、粗鲁。但是当她离开舞台时,这位年轻的歌手和她的家人和朋友过着正常的生活。即使在电视上,她给人的印象也是一个普通的青少年,但却非常好。夏洛特的声音总是得到评论。对一个小女孩来说,声音太大了。很少有青少年像她那样有一副强有力的歌剧嗓音。有些人很难相信这真的是夏洛特在唱歌。在很大程度上,她喜欢她的成功。她喜欢旅行和结识新朋友。洛杉矶是她最喜欢的城市,她喜欢美国和加拿大。但她总是很高兴回到威尔士的家,和朋友们在一起。目前,她在一所女子学校上学,所以她不经常见到男孩。但是,在15岁的时候,对男孩的兴趣很可能成为她生活中的一个因素。夏洛特现在已经录制了三张专辑,我们预计在2001年将会有第四张专辑。她还为她所有的粉丝写了一篇关于她生活的文章。它的标题是“天使的声音:我的生活(到目前为止)”。

Did you miss Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour or Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour? Fear not Swifties and fans of Queen Bey as they both have concert films due out soon. Concert films are nothing new. Since "Woodstock" in 1970 — and even some earlier films that The Beatles did as they slowed and stopped touring — films have captured important festivals and tours, and provided insight into bands as well as the fans during specific time periods. And even acclaimed directors have gotten into the act. Martin Scorsese has directed some of the most notable concert and musician biopics of all-time when not busy with gritty dramas. Crank up the volume as co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz talk about their favorite concert films of all time, discuss the marketing genius that is Taylor Swift, and share additional stories and thoughts as well.  Where to watch "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour" in theaters Oct. 13 "Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé" in theaters Dec. 1 "Woodstock" (1970) "One Direction: This Is Us" (2013) "The Last Waltz" (1978) "No Direction Home: Bob Dylan" (2005) "George Harrison: Living in the Material World" (2011) "Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese" (2019) "Michael Jackson's This Is It" (2009) "Diana Ross" Live in Central Park" (1983) "The Song Remains the Same" (1976) "Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day" (2012) "A Hard Day's Night" (1964) "Help!"

We want to hear from you! Email questions to podcasts@lee.net and we'll answer your question on a future episode! About the show Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, a longtime entertainment reporter who is now the editor of the Sioux City Journal in Iowa and Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer for Lee Enterprises based in Madison, Wisconsin. Episode transcript Note: The following transcript was created by Headliner and may contain misspellings and other inaccuracies as it was generated automatically: Terry Lipshetz: Welcome, everyone, to another episode of Streamed and Screened an entertainment podcast about movies and TV from Lee Enterprises. I'm Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer at Lee and co host of the program with our band leader Bruce Miller, editor of the Sioux City Journal and a longtime entertainment reporter. So if you're John Lennon, does that. Bruce Miller: Make me Ringo? No Paul McCartney. Oh, I'mccartney you get to be the big one. Why not go for the good one, right? Terry Lipshetz: Exactly. Taylor Swift's concert film is coming out next week Terry Lipshetz: So music. Taylor this is the week. Bruce Miller: This is the week. Did you know this? If you were a Swiftie, you would know these kinds of things, and that is that Taylor Swift's movie is coming out in the next week, and it's based on her era's tour. What I like to look at this as those of us who couldn't afford or get tickets to her tour will be able to see it without having to really bust a hump. Terry Lipshetz: That's the best part to me about concert films is that it's a great way to get you to the show, if you can't get to the show, because sometimes some of these tour stops and, I mean, you're in Iowa, so for you, how often does I mean, you'll get shows. Sure, come to Iowa, but not something this big, right? Bruce Miller: Yeah. Terry Lipshetz: You got to travel. You got to go to Chicago or, Minneapolis. Bruce Miller: I had friends tell me they spent $12,000 to see Taylor Swift. Terry Lipshetz: Holy cow. Bruce Miller: $12,000. Someday this will sound like I'm, absurd thinking that that's a lot of money, but in this day, it's a lot of money. It factors in the price of the tickets, the cost of getting there, the hotel room you have to have. I mean, it's like, I don't know that there's anybody on this earth that I would spend $12,000 to see. Terry Lipshetz: I don't have that kind of spending cash. Bruce Miller: But knowing that it is coming out on film, on DVD, I'm sure eventually all those kinds of things, it's an opportunity for all of us to enjoy whatever it was that was put out there and then maybe be even a little more critical about what they saw. Because I think they were all caught up in the enthusiasm of the moment. So I don't know. Maybe it isn't that good. Maybe 44 songs is too many. Who knows? Terry Lipshetz: It sounds like, from what I've heard, it's a really good show. I've seen a lot of clips of it. If you like Taylor Swift, I think it's definitely a show you want to see. I keep hearing 44 songs, but it's not like she performs them in full. There are some snippets here and there, and she kind of goes through the eras. No word if there is ranch dressing involved. Did you hear about no, no. So she's dating or at least seeing Travis Kelsey from the Kansas. You can't escape. Bruce Miller: Right. Terry Lipshetz: So every little thing she does now gets dissected, and on social media. They were looking when she was at the Chiefs game in her luxury suite, somebody spotted a picture of her with a chicken finger on a plate with what appeared to be ketchup and then a white substance that was labeled as seemingly ranch. Seemingly ranch. So ranch dressing companies, are like, running with it. Taylor eats ranch dressing. Bruce Miller: Who knew that she had such clout? Right. Terry Lipshetz: Right. It's crazy. Bruce Miller: Anything she does when she was here, she did play here way back in the early, early days when she was considered a country artist, if you dare say that. And, the thing I found most amazing about her is that she didn't do her t shirt in one style. She did the look of it in like five different colors. So these fans would want all five of them. And I thought that is a brilliant marketing decision by somebody that you weren't just getting the tour shirt, you were getting all of them. Because, if I'm going to get one, I got to have them all. What color do I pick? How do I pick? What am I going to do? So marketing genius. I think she's far more skilled at selling herself than she is at anything else. And that is not a diss. That means that she is just a genius at it. She should be teaching this at Harvard. Terry Lipshetz: Well, you know, with me, I'm, a record collector because you've seen my music collection and stuff in the background. Taylor. It extends to releasing physical media. So with the, album, actually, all of her recent albums, she'll release it on vinyl on a standard black edition. Limited. Limited, but well, the black is always that's standard. You can get that anytime you want. But then there is a different colored version that you can buy at Target. And then you can buy four different versions with four different album covers on four different colors through her website. And she puts them up at these intervals, like for the next 48 hours, only you can buy this one. And then it goes away. And then people freak out because they're like, you're making me buy it multiple times and you're charging me shipping multiple times. Why can't you just put it all up? But people will do that. I've seen people on social media sharing out. She's only got it's not like she's got 35 albums. She's got a solid catalog of a dozen different albums or so. But each one has like five or six or ten variants. Like you could literally have a, ah, collection of 200 Taylor Swift records. And it's just like a dozen albums. Bruce Miller: At this point, which is kind of unreal. That is crazy. Terry Lipshetz: And people buy like Taylor's army. They will buy it. And it's like, as I said, I'm a record collector. I do have multiple copies of certain albums, but it's less about like, I need a black version and I need a green version and a red version. It's like I've got the original pressing, an early pressing of Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen. I have a Japanese copy. I have a UK copy. They're pressed in different places, so the sound might be a little bit different. Bruce Miller: Are they unplayed? Do you keep them so that nobody touches them? Terry Lipshetz: No, I play them. And that's a little bit of the difference with some of the Taylor Swift fans is they might play one copy, but then they've got 13 that sit on a shelf or they hang on a wall or something. Bruce Miller: That could end up being the Beanie Babies of our era. It's going to be, should I say eras? Terry Lipshetz: eras. yes, Beanie Babies of our so. But yeah, like shameless self promotion. Beyoncé's film drops after the end of her tour Terry Lipshetz: Bruce, if you do want to check me out on social media, my Instagram handle is at vinyl underscore Terry. And you can just see what music I'm listening to. Bruce Miller: I will look. That's great. Check it out. The Beehive is also or the Beehive, I should say, is going to have its film in. Know, she's once she sees what Taylor does, she's got to do one better. Terry Lipshetz: well, and her strategy is a little different. So with Taylor, she's a little bit on hiatus at the moment. She's taking a small break in her tour. Right. Well, she goes I think in another month she heads down to South America. She's going to do like, Argentina and all that. So her film is going to drop October 13, I believe. And then, with Queen Bey, her tour is over. So she's going to drop hers on, I believe it's December 1 and it's going to air in theaters on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for about four weeks. So it's going to be like a limited run month of December. But her tour is done. So it's not like right. You either saw it and want to relive the moment or you missed it and here's your opportunity. Whereas with Taylor, this is just kind of just another opportunity to see her. And then you can fly off to South America or you can wait for her to circle back in North America next summer. Bruce Miller: We've got to spend $12,000 and follow her around. Terry Lipshetz: Yeah. Bruce Miller: And then go to all the, Chiefs games to make sure that we see that in case she happens to wave to the audience from the skybox. You know how it is. Well, I must tell you, I have followed these kinds of films for know going Back to Woodstock was probably the first good concert ish film because it did give you a sense of it and made me glad I never went there because I don't think I could have withstood Mud and all that kind of whatever crap was invited. I was in California one summer and I was invited. I think it was summer. It either was summer or January, but it was the, preview of, One Direction's film. One Direction had a film called this Is US. I think it is. This is us. Terry Lipshetz: Okay? Bruce Miller: And they were having this sneak in the Grove, which is a kind of upscale shopping center in Los Angeles, okay? And somehow the word got out that this was going on and all these little girls who were fans of One Direction gathered there. They were outside this theater like you couldn't believe. It was like the scene in Frankenstein where the villagers are going to storm the castle because they want in. And they had heard that One Direction was going to be there. That they were going to turn up for, this screening that they weren't invited to that they couldn't get into. And so I'm sitting in the theater, right? And we get the manager of the theater looking just really whipped and he says, whatever you do, do not leave your seat. If you leave your seat and you leave the theater, you will not get your seat back. Because if somehow they break in and they start sitting in the seats where there aren't people, we can't kick them out, huh? We have no way of doing it. So please do not leave your seat. And we heard people pounding at the door outside and this made news. You'll find if you want to go back and look it up, pounding at the door, insistent that Harry Styles was in there somewhere and we were keeping them from meeting him. It was unlike any situation I've ever been in that's, a preview of anything. Was the movie okay? I have no clue. I was worried that I was going to be beaten by a twelve year old at some point because I was in there sitting and watching this movie that meant so much to them. Terry Lipshetz: But they weren't well, they, didn't show up, right? Bruce Miller: They were out there, but the cops came and the cops kept them and got them out of the theater. So they were not in the theater at all. And then when we walked out, you could see that there was like you who was in there? Who was in there with you? Did you see Niall? Was he in there with were the kids were real questioning. I thought they could kill people. I think they really could kill people. Terry Lipshetz: They probably could if you're determined. If you're determined. Bruce Miller: And so then I said, oh, it was wonderful. You've got to see this film. It's just so yeah, yeah. Scorsese directed a documentary about Bob Dylan's 1975 concert tour Terry Lipshetz: Woodstock, though. That's probably the first concert film I had ever seen. It was actually one I'm trying to think when my dad let me see it because it's a know, there's some language in it, there's some drug use in it, there's definitely some nudity in it. And it may have even been the first movie I had seen with nudity. But it's really a fascinating look at what went on. I think my dad always had a real connection with it too, because he bought tickets with friends to Woodstock. Yeah, he didn't get to it. He got stuck on the New York State throughway and eventually had to turn around because they left a little too late on whatever day it was. And by that time it was crazy. People had stormed the grounds. It had become a free concert. And he was angry. So he did what any other person who bought a ticket tickets? No, he sent it back and got a refund. And he regrets it. he regretted it for the rest of his life because he wished he could have had that ticket stub of like, I actually bought a ticket and I couldn't get there. But yeah, it was all of his favorite bands were playing. It's an incredible thing. So I think he always wanted us to, my siblings to really feel that connection with him, with Woodstock. But it's a fascinating film too, because Woodstock, up until that movie, was just a financial disaster. And it took that movie to kind of help them break even, basically. Bruce Miller: Well, and it showed you how acts that they weren't counting on turned out to be the stars really made their fortunes for them. Whereas other ones that they were counting on, it's like, well, not so sure here. This is not necessarily the star. Terry Lipshetz: Yeah. And you know who, not a director of the film, but one of the film editors of it. Do you know what famous, director Scorsese was? One of his earliest, works was as a film editor on Woodstock. Bruce Miller: See what happens see what happens when you're available and you can get to that place. Terry Lipshetz: Right. Bruce Miller: Only but he wouldn't have gotten a t shirt because he probably weren't selling any. Terry Lipshetz: yeah, but Marty, and we know Martin Scorsese by Marty because we're. Bruce Miller: He'S one of our pals, right, right. Terry Lipshetz: But he's got a long history in doing movies, documentaries, know musicians. He directed The Last Waltz, which was the final concert of the Band. He did, ah, no Direction Home, which was the documentary about the early life of Bob Dylan. They captured him leaving Minnesota and then going to New York and kind of rising through the folk scene. And then it kind of ended, when he plugged in. He did a documentary on, George Harrison. did you ever see the one he did called, Rolling Thunder Review a Bob Dylan Story. Do you remember that one? Bruce Miller: No. Terry Lipshetz: So he directed this and it was the most bizarre thing. So it's based on Dylan's concert tour during I think it was 1975, it was a transitional stage in Dylan's career. But he went out with this huge group of people. It was like 20 people on stage. It was almost like a circus dylan painted his face. He had like white makeup on every night and wore a big hat. And it captures a lot of those performances. But the film that Scorsese did was almost part fiction because it plays into the myth that is Dylan. And it talks like, I think Sharon Stone was in it and she talks about how she was a groupie during but she wasn't, she wasn't on the tour with Dylan at all. But they added in, for whatever reason, different moments of fiction to what was actually supposed to be a documentary of his tour of the mid seventy s. So it's kind of a crazy oh, my crazy thing. Yeah. Bruce Miller: One that I am fascinated by is the Michael Jackson one. Supposed to be about his last concert tour. And they kind of created it into that tour. I mean, if you were there, you would see all of the numbers that they were planning to do, but you realize in the course of that somewhere, there was no way he was going to be able to produce this every night. He couldn't. He didn't have the energy, he didn't have the stamina. I mean, it was fascinating when they did each number, but you'd think somebody's got to go get some oxygen at some point because it's just way too much. And it's telling because it shows how talented he was, but also how old he was. And the idea that you can do that maybe past your prime is unreal. But if you haven't seen that one, please watch it because it's unbelievable. Terry Lipshetz: This is it, right? Yeah. And that came out in 2009. I remember watching that one and it was really fascinating because it took you inside of the prep for the tour. But it was also really sad too, because you were seeing his decline basically too at the time. Obviously, in retrospect, when you see it, you're like, well, okay, that makes sense. But at the time you probably didn't even realize that he was nearing the end of his life. Bruce Miller: Right? Well, I think it's one of those things where he thought, too, I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to be able to do this. This isn't going to happen. Instead of doing it once and doing it for film it and then you never have to do it again, why know, right. Do you remember when HBO was real big about doing these live, specials? And there was a Diana Ross one live from Central Park, and it started to rain, and it was like the worst rain ever. And not as bad as the one they've had recently, but it was bad so that the people were like, well, she just kept on going. She was the bunny and wouldn't let it up and come on, everybody, sing with me. And it's like, wow, this is real. But I think they like that document of their time because it is a way to mark certain hallmarks of their career. And then also it's a way for fans to say, you know what, she or he really was that good. Terry Lipshetz: Yeah, I won't watch every concert documentary out there. But if it's a musician that I at least either like or respect, I like to check it out. Because it's always a good time capsule to kind of see what happens. Led Zeppelin's concert films bookend two eras Terry Lipshetz: An interesting one for me is, The Song Remains the Same, the documentary concert film, about the, Led Zeppelins tour from 1973, where they filmed it at Madison Square Garden. And here is that band at, really the height of their popularity, right? It's middle of their career. Things are crazy. And it captures the moment. And that came out in 76. And then years, years later, they did another concert film. And it's called Celebration Day. And that came out in 2012. Now, this is after John Bonham had died. And after John Bonham died, the band broke up. And they swore, we're never getting back together. And there were little things here and there, like Robert Plant and Jimmy Page did a side project together. But they never really went back out. I think they had that one off, like at Live Aid, where they came together and played. But they never again really did any sort of tour or anything. They swore we're never going to reunite. But then they ended up doing, a benefit concert at the Two Arena in London. And it was just a one off. And they said, we're going to do it. We're doing this benefit. It's for one of their early managers or promoters. So that's the only reason we're going to do it. And it's sold out in minutes. And the cool thing about it, though, is that they brought in Jason Bonham, who is John Bonham's son, to play on drums. And I always thought it was cool watching that concert. Know, you knew that this is know, you're not going to be able to see them again. They're never going to get back again. But they opened it up with the song Good, Times, Bad Times. And it was very much like a drum driven song. So we're going to open it up. We're going to let Jason Bonham kind of take center stage in honor of his dad kind of thing. And then they kind of tore through like 16 songs after that. So it was a really nice moment. And there's a band that kind of had two ends of the spectrum. Like one at the height of craziness in the we're like grandparents now. But this is us. We're going to get back to one more time. We're going to honor a friend of ours and do it one more time. And I thought that was pretty cool. Bruce Miller: Well, and we look at the Beatles really did concert films too. They just did them more like music videos, right, with all of their kind of help and you name it, Let It Be, all that kind of stuff. Had a moment. They never really sat it down and did, something that we're seeing a lot of, but so we still have that kind of record of their time on earth. The Rolling Stones, however, had, give me shelter. Terry Lipshetz: And do you? Bruce Miller: That was like, wow, yeah, those times. I don't know that I would have been eager to go to those concerts at the time. But in retrospect, as an older person with more hopefully smarts about what I'm doing, I can appreciate it much more than I would have at the time. I would have been worried about getting out. Are we getting out time? Ah, is the parking going to be bad? Do I have to worry about all that? You know what I mean? Now it's a lot of fun to watch it, and especially when they're still performing. I'm sure every move they make now when they're in concert is photographed somewhere, somehow. We didn't have social media back in the day, so everybody wasn't holding a phone up and, recording it. They were just appreciating what it was at the time. Terry Lipshetz: The Beatles, it's an interesting example because they had several movies that are still popular to this know, like A Hard Day's Night, and there were concert elements within the film, but it was more of a traditional film. But it captured Beetlemania, ah, at the height of Beetlemania. So if you weren't there in the experience, Beetlemania, even though it's kind of a light hearted film, you still got the essence of it. And then you got some of the goofiness with help and all that. But it's really a shame with them because they stopped touring in the mid 60s because they couldn't hear themselves. And if you ever get a chance, I have like a bootleg DVD of their Shay Stadium concert. And it's the craziest thing. It's like a 25 minutes concert. I mean, that's all their concerts were back there. They would do 20 songs in 25 minutes and then they were done. Bruce Miller: Wow. I've been to the theater, the Ed Sullivan Theater, where they did their big performance on television, the first one. And the place is small. It's really small. And I remember seeing people in the balcony, like they were jumping up and down and were so excited that they thought it was going to come down. And you realize, wow, we were really kind of duped back in the day thinking that it was just this huge Madison Square Garden kind of experience. And it was just a small you know, the cameras made it look like it was much bigger than it actually was. Terry Lipshetz: If you ever get a chance in New York City, you take the NBC Studios tour and they usually will take you to a couple different sets, including it's like they always do Saturday Night Live, and then they'll give you like, one or two. And I remember when I took the tour one time we went to the Saturday Night Live set, and you're just kind of blown away because you realize you actually can't see some of if you're in that studio audience. Because of the way they have to arrange the floor. They might be filming part of it off to the side where the audience can't actually see it. And you have to watch it on monitors. You just see where they come out for the monologue and you see where the band performs. But then some of the other configurations are all over the place. And then we also went out to, I think it was Conan O'Brien's when he was still it was before he the Tonight Show, and he had that late, night program. And I remember going there and we saw the Max Weinberg drum kit sitting out there and Conan's desk. But it's tiny. It's a tiny little. Bruce Miller: Sneaky. Yes. Bruce Miller: you mentioned Saturday night. I was lucky enough to have been there during the early years. I saw an episode that, I don't know if you remember any of these things, but there was a dance that Gilda Radner and Steve Martin did and they were, like, going all around the whole area and they came near me, and I was able to get on camera at some point with them. So if you ever have access to that, go back and look. But it was fascinating because you could not see all of the skits. There could be a skit right down below you, but, you can't lean in and look at that. And so you'd basically get to see a couple and that's about it. But, the flurry of activity that's going on between the skits is just amazing. And then the sound is really good for, the guest artist, whoever is singing that week or whatever. It's really good. a couple of times I've gotten to go to Saturday Night Live. It's like the most impossible ticket to get because, at best, you're going to get a rehearsal ticket at this point because they do a rehearsal before they do the final show, right? And, somehow they'll let people in there. But you really need to know somebody if you're going to go to the actual show itself. So put that on a bucket list. It's really worth it. Bruce Miller: You had mentioned back a little bit earlier about the two this huge venue in London, and, every year, it seems they're rerunning this on PBS. And that's the Les Miz anniversary special. And it's just unbelievable. I love the show. Les Miz arabla. As a musical, it's wonderful. But this they combined a whole bunch of old stars, people who had been in it before, made this kind of masterful thing. And then you saw these people walking up the aisles of this show and it was like, oh my God, I can't believe this. And those are those once in a lifetime experiences that somehow need to be captured on film. But The Two is a place where they all play at some point. Look at all the things they did when Prince Charles and, when Queen Elizabeth had her anniversary. You name it, they did something there. And it's a place I'd love to go to just to see what it's like in person. Terry Lipshetz: Yeah, that would be a fun one. And then you think about entertainment destinations now, too, with The Sphere in Las Vegas with U Two and U Two, because U Two is such a visual band that they're able to utilize the interior. I mean, that's just amazing. It's just a giant Led screen, basically. But they had a concert film as well. I don't know. Do you remember Ratle and Hum? Bruce Miller: Oh, yes, I think we got them. And get it free. If you had like, some Apple product, they gave it to you. Terry Lipshetz: I don't know, you might have, but no, I think that might be something else. But Ratle and the Hum came out in, I think it was 1988. And it was a combination, album. It was like a live album that came out after The Joshua Tree. And it also had a companion film that went with it. The companion film. Some people love it, some people hate it. I don't know if there's very many people that are kind of like in the middle on this one. It's really bizarre. So on one hand, you get a lot of performances from the Joshua Tree tour, which is really at that know, they had a few earlier albums that did were critically acclaimed, but they didn't necessarily explode commercially. But The Joshua Tree exploded commercially and they had huge hits. So they documented parts of this tour and they shot a lot of it in black and white. But then near the end, they went into color. But then they had these intermittent weird side journeys where they went to Graceland and they talked about their love for Elvis and they met with BB. King and they did this. And it was just kind of a strange document of the time. I would have been happier with. Just give me 25 songs of a straight YouTube concert. If you got to take a few performances from a few different shows, so be it. But, I don't know. I could probably have done without the side commentary. Yeah, exactly. Because I love you two and I've seen them in concert and I have all their albums. But Bono has a certain way about them, I guess is a way of saying it. And it's just like they're a little bit too over the top sometimes, even for me. I think Rattle and Hum really, it sums up that time, at least, even though. Bruce Miller: All those little pop stars. Anna Montana, right? bieber had one. I think it was 3D. Katy Perry, you name them, they all get these movies at some point. And it's somebody saying, you know, here's how we can make the budget on that tour. That didn't go so well. We'll put out a movie, and then we'll make up the difference that we lost in, know, having that big set piece that you had. There was a great mockumentary about Madonna's tour. Remember how Madonna had the cone bra and all that? And Julie Brown. Not the Julie Brown that you remember from MTB, but a different Julie Brown who was a comedian, did her spoof of was. So I think she called herself Medusa or something. Terry Lipshetz: Okay. Yeah. Bruce Miller: But if you ever get to see that, it is such a hoot. It makes fun of these in the best way. The best way. And Madonna had to have loved it. And she's another one who should look at those things and say, I'm glad I have this document. I really am. Because I don't know that her tours now are as iconic as they should be. Gaga she has done things. She's done films or specials, but I don't know that she's done one of these kind of big movie things that would have told all or showed all or whatever. And maybe she's ripe for one. Terry Lipshetz: Maybe. You know which one I really like, too. And this was an opportunity because I couldn't get to New York, and I'm a huge Springsteen fan. And then this is like my other Broadway. Yeah. In my other shameless self promotion, I have another Instagram account called at Bruce Springsteen Collection, where I document all of the Springsteen albums in my collection. And I'm not just talking about the regular stuff. I've got some things that were not officially released that I show off on this thing. Bruce Miller: But does Bruce know? Terry Lipshetz: He knows this stuff is out there. Bruce Miller: Okay. Terry Lipshetz: but, yeah, no, I'm a huge hardcore. I've seen him in concert 1314 times at this point. Bruce Miller: Why didn't you go to the Broadway show? Come on. Terry Lipshetz: Yeah, I mean, I really wanted to, but the cost for tickets, I got to travel from the Midwest to the city. Yeah, it's an expensive show. So, when Netflix made the deal to air, know, one of the performances of Spring Scene on Broadway, it was a really good opportunity. And I would have loved to have gone to the Walter Kerr Theater to see it live. But I think in this type of setting, the way they filmed it, you felt like you were right there. Terry Lipshetz: It was a very well done documentary, know, whatever you want to call it. it captured the know, it was kind of like, with Hamilton, because if you couldn't see the original cast, you at least got to see it on Apple TV. And I think that was a good second opportunity. And I think that's what this is. Bruce Miller: I told you my story about Hamilton, right? That I was determined to see Hamilton no matter what. Terry Lipshetz: No, I don't think I heard this one. Bruce Miller: Oh, do you mind if I go ahead. Story. The thing about me is I have to see the original cast. I have to see the original actor in a Broadway show or I don't feel like if it's a big thing sure. And I knew that Hamilton was going to be a big thing even before Hamilton was a spark on anybody's radar. And then it got out there and I thought, I've got to go, but when am I going and how do I get tickets? And it was like this whole thing where I couldn't get the tickets. The tickets were just outrageous. And I decided I was going to go on StubHub. And so StubHub I went on, and it was like, 1000 something for the tickets, and am I going to spend $1,000? And then I start rationalizing all these things. Well, life is short. You're not going to be around that much longer. You want to see it, you should go. The original cast was breaking up after that. I was rationalizing. Terry Lipshetz: Right. You played it out, like, 15 steps and you're like, I'm on board. Bruce Miller: And it got down to the point where it was $777. Terry Lipshetz: Oh, you got to do it. Bruce Miller: And I did it. I jumped. And then I was at a hotel and we had to add, you know, how this thing is where you print out the tickets, but you're not really sure about all this, and you think, oh, they're going to take money to the cleaners and I'm going to lose $700, and it's going to be just the worst, right? Terry Lipshetz: Yes. Bruce Miller: And so I went to the business office at the hotel and they said, yeah, these are pretty good. You should be all right. You shouldn't have a problem. But if I were you, I'd get to the theater early, because if somebody sold this ticket twice, which could happen, you won't be the one who gets in. It'll go the one who got in before you. I made a beeline to that theater as fast as I could. And when I heard that M of the ticket, it was like, yes. So I get to my seat, and the seat was really good. And I'm talking to the people next to me. And there was a family from Los Angeles who came because the daughter had been listening to the album all along and wanted to see this. Right. This was her goal. And they gave up going to any other shows. They weren't going to any kind of theme parks. They weren't doing anything but Hamilton. And they spent $10,000. And they were sitting next to me. And we talked to people, like, in the row before us. They spent nothing. Somebody handed them tickets at the theater. So there were all these kind of stories that were going around among the people, and you felt lucky. You felt like, I have won the lottery. I am here. And then you hear and you think, this is, like, the most unbelievable experience I've ever been in my life. It was everything. And then a little bit more. And I'll tell you an, intermission. I ran to the merchandise table and bought $200 worth of crap just because I wanted to prove that I had been to Hamilton, right? So it was my thing. And I realized, you know what? It was money well spent. It was really money well spent. Now, when I saw the Apple version of or I mean, the Disney version, disney plus version of, Hamilton, it was perfect. It lived up to all of the things that I remember, because after that cast, the original cast left. I did go see it again, and it did not live up to the hype. But having seen the original cast and then seeing the original cast do the filmed version of Was, if you want to know how good it was, watch that. It was very good. And I think they did a great job of capturing that whole moment. But, yeah, that's cool. My Hamilton story. So for the next year after that, I got more Hamilton crap from people because they said, well, you're the one that really likes Hamilton, don't you? Here's a hamilton. Whatever. But I had talked to Lin Manuel Miranda before he was even writing it. He was on a TV series as, like, a third stringer. And I said, well, what are you working on? Because he had done some other stuff for the theater. And that if you know anything about me, I'm just a hardcore theater person. I live for that. And he said, well, I'm working on a little thing I call the Hamilton mixtape. It's a show about Alexander Hamilton, but it's done with rapid hip hop and that kind of stuff. He says, we'll see where it goes. And I'll look where it went. Terry Lipshetz: We'll see where it goes. It may pan out. Who knows? Bruce Miller: It's a fascinating story. And then to even take it further, while he was doing Hamilton, he was writing the songs for Moana. He would do zoom calls with the directors of Moana, who one of them happens to be from Sioux City. And he would tell me about how yeah, he'd come after before they start the show or during an intermission or whatever, and they would like, work well, this song needs to be this, and this song needs to be that. Okay, I'll work on it, and I'll get you another one. And then he'd go out and do the show. Terry Lipshetz: That's crazy. Bruce Miller: Yeah, it's weird, but there's your $0.02 worth on those kind of direct to the screen versions. Bruce Miller: But you know what? I think these are ways for all of us to enjoy entertainment that we maybe don't have the access to. Terry Lipshetz: Absolutely. Bruce Miller: It's an affordable way and you still get all the bells and whistles. And even if you had a bad seat at the show itself, if you did go, here's a way to see things that maybe you didn't see. Terry Lipshetz: Yeah, and it's a cool way too, because it captures the moment of the time. So if you're like me, who I'm in my later forty s and I was born after Woodstock. I can see what m people of my parents age looked like and acted like ah, as youngsters and realized that some of the things that they yelled at me for, they were doing them also back in. Bruce Miller: As someone who was around, I will tell you they were just as bad, if not worse than we see kids today. Terry Lipshetz: Yeah, exactly. And then I look back at something like 1991, the film The Year Punk Broke, which looks at bands like Sonic Youth and Nirvana when they exploded in the early ninety s. And I watched those and I'm like, oh, did I really dress that way in high school? Yeah. Oh man. Bruce Miller: No, it's fascinating. I was talking to a college student today, and she was doing a project for one of her design classes. And she says, I am going back to the I'm trying to kind of conjure all those things that were big in the some of these things that you're coming up with weren't in the little careful, because I don't remember this stuff. And I remember the 70s like nobody. Terry Lipshetz: You do. Yeah, you absolutely remember them. So again, we've got October 13, Taylor Swift's, the Era's tour film, coming out. Beyonce has her film coming out in December. And check out some of these films that we talked about opportunities like Woodstock, Ratle and lot of like Scorsese has done a lot of if you're into like like you know, he's got a lot of things besides, the gangster films. He loves music and it plays into all of his films and he's done quite a few, so a lot of good things. And he's got a new movie coming up and then we have another episode coming out next week. You have an interview with that, right? Bruce Miller: With Goosebumps? Yeah. Get ready. We're getting closer to Halloween and they've rebooted Goosebumps. They had a series where they would do a different book for each episode. Now they've created a kind of a mashup where they put the characters together and they're telling stories from four or five different books in the course of a season. And you'll get a chance to hear the producers talk about why they did what they did with this. And it's a little more adult than you may remember the Goosebumps book being. So look for that. That's next week when we come back on Streamed and Screened. Terry Lipshetz: Sounds good. So we'll talk about Goosebumps and we'll talk about maybe some other family friendly ish kind of Halloween things that we can dive into if you must. Bruce Miller: If you're not we're talking about saw. Terry Lipshetz: I will tap out. If we're talking horror movies, I am tapping out before we get started. We won't do saw. None of that stuff. I like to get a solid night's sleep, Bruce. I don't need horror things flashing through my head. That stuff's scary. I don't like scary things. Bruce Miller: Yeah, we'll play the Springsteen white noise machine, and you'll be able to go to sleep. Terry Lipshetz: Sounds good. All right. We'll be back again next week with another episode of Streamed and Screened.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we head to London, and to 1981, as we explore the mysterious disappearance of 8-year-old Vishal Mehrotra. On 29 July in 1981, as the world waited in anticipation for the fairy-tale wedding of Lady Diana Spencer and Prince Charles, the Mehrotra family made their way into central London to join in with the celebrations. Dad Vishambar worked in a tall office building in the City and knew this would be a great vantage point from which to watch the royal procession. Daughter Mamta, son Vishal and nanny Joannita watched in awe as the crowds gathered below and the newly married couple passed by in their glass carriage.  What started as a day of celebration and excitement, ended in despair however, when Vishal disappeared on the way home.  Just what happened to this little boy? And who was responsible? Join us as we attempt to answer these, and many other, questions.

From Kate perfecting her work uniform to Meghan's return to the sartorial spotlight at Invictus, we cover it all. Also in this episode, so many thoughts (had to!) on Queen Camilla's fashion in France, Sarah Burton's departure from Alexander McQueen, the mouth-dropping final sale price of Princess Diana's sheep sweater and so much more.

Hi Felicity, The next time you go to Tegucigalpa, consider flying out of the Denver Airport. Why, you ask? Because we know what you really want is to be met with frightening horse statues with glowing eyes and murals simultaneously celebrating Pride and The Third Reich. Werk.In our penultimate episode of #REACTEMEBER, Quill & Audrey close out the discussion on conspiracy theories. If you thought Melissa was crazy, wait till you hear about the lizard people under the Denver Airport. But in all seriousness, make sure the conspiracy theories you're consuming aren't anti-semitic and science-denying
