So, when are you going to get Russell Brand on?
Guys, really appreciating the shows. Have you heard of Rita Panahi? She was interviewed by The Sun recently.
Maybe Camille Paglia?
Athelstan Edwardson That’s disgusting and I strongly disagree
good stuff guys
I think it says a lot that this guy is considered right wing in Scotland
See my other comment in this thread. I felt the same as he debuted in Edinburgh.
Right wing is an economic position. Left wing is too.
He wants less taxes and smaller government spending. That's right wing.
This guy is as woke as they come and blames everything on the alt right being aggressive without acknowledging it’s the woke left who are the most extreme in the bullying everyone who doesn’t agree. It’s the reverse of McCartyism era and most of the woke belong as religious zealots in the play “The Crucible”
@Chris Sennwood they're not "vague definitions". Those are _the_ definitions of left and right - economic positions. And they are _precise._ When anyone else reads other vaguely similar positions into left-right as you want to do (i.e. social positions which are only sometimes correlated with some economic left-right positions), that's where the terms become meaningless.
Oh boy.
If you think the police killed him because he’s black, please watch the Tony Timpa video. Who’s that you might ask?
My point exactly.
No one is suggesting they killed him becuase he was black, but the fact he was black was a factor in how he was treated which led to his death.
@@richardwilliams3308 you clearly have not seen the death of Tony then have you?
richard williams you keep parroting this without evidence. Please explain how you can know this.
Daniel Shaver and Kelly Thomas as well
@@richardwilliams3308This is not verifiable
Listening to this guy solves for me the mystery of how the S.N.P. got elected into Government in Scotland.
Because we want Independence?
@@savagemcflurry9082 independence under the SNP sounds horrendous.
They get in to power because they are promising indipendence, even though we already voted on that, and everyone in favour of democracy splits their support between the other parties.
@@davidkelly499 it’s the “free” stuff they are promising to scots and lets face it, a lot of people up here are scumbags who leech off the system to more “free” stuff is a guaranteed vote.
He clearly hasn't seen the way people reacted to JK Rowling and her very mild and even handed response to transgenderism if he thinks it's ok to be "transphobic".
It is..
think about the alleged trans kids. i was trans my entire childhood and thankfully my mother refused to give me hormones. now i have 4 beautiful children. they are abusing children with trans treatment. it should only be allowed for adults to transition.
Guys....might as well had Hillary Bloody Clinton on....seriously!!
Having watched Kearse’s brilliant comedy, I was surprised by his views. He is semi-woke himself. Also repeats the same shit as the woke lot without question, e.g George Floyd’s murder was racist.
I've had the biggest struggle with this one recently; trying to get a response to "tell me exactly how the murder was racist". Haven't had an answer yet.
Demyitra the irony is people are racially stereotyping the white cop.
Agreed no evidence of racism... the fact that Chauvin has an Asian wife and his Asian brother in law was with him when George was killed and no mention of the Latino officer that was on his back...
yeah was just thinking this. Still a good comic though and seems like a genuine bloke in any case.
Also when he said that "trans people are one of the only groups that its seen as OK to be shitty towards." This is complete nonsense. Trans has rapidly risen to the top of the victimhood hierarchy. All we hear about now is "transphobia"
For such a funny and quite edgy comedian he repeats a lot of the left-wing mainstream talking points seemingly without question.
That's just what I was thinking. I've gone off him now.
What murder of George Floyd? A court has not decided that yet.
Well, if it was murder, then it was a weird sort of reverse suicide-by-cop, wasn't it? What sort of human being deliberately kills someone in full view of several people in this day and age of ubiquitous cellphone cameras? In my view, either Chauvin was on drugs or he is so "criminally" stupid he should never have been hired by any law-enforcement agency.
Thats a good point as assuming its murder could prejudice the trial.
Neil Mo
No evidence for your claim.
Are you blind? Did you watch the video?
"Trans is a women's rights issue".. no.. it's a human rights issue. There are some men and boys who don't want the opposite sex in their private spaces too, you know?
Right wing Comedian definitely not RW.
Right and left are economic positions. He mentions his right wing economic positions.
2:15 what exactly is he suggesting here? That the cop with his knee on Floyd's neck saw all the cameras on him as he was doing it and in that moment was aspiring to become the most notorious psychopathic murderer in human history? I hear this view repeated a lot lately. This seems unbelievably, insanely unlikely, and it is VASTLY more likely that he was so ignorant and incompetent he didn't even know he was killing, or even capable of killing, Floyd in that moment. Which is why the newly elevated charges of second degree murder against the cop, which require proving intent to kill, are very likely to result in an acquittal, and then when that happens 6 months from now the entire nation is going to explode in rioting and violence the likes of which the previous month's unrest do not even give a hint of.
I completely agree. Also when people assume the cop was racist, nothing that I have seen suggests that.
This is why the 'defund the police' chant is so misguided. They need more training and more funding if anything. Having to wonder at every incident whether the perp is armed must be terrifying.
Yup I think he had just got into the the mind set, of he was Alpha male. More focused on the crowd saying get off and trying to prove to them he was in control then what was going on with Floyd.
"Which is why the newly elevated charges of second degree murder against the cop, which require proving intent to kill, are very likely to result in an acquittal"
My cynic me thinks he will not get acquitted because the jury knows what will happen if. Imho there is no way this cop can get a fair trial.
I have loved every single Triggernometry interview but hated this guy telling me that everyone is racist
everybody has "pride in their tribe"
so everybody is -too an extent - racist/bigoted
it depends how much you actually allow it manifest
except I didn't say that
@@LeoKearse You did assume that "systemic" racism is a thing; I don't think that there is any evidence to support that. Also you assumed that the George Flloyd killing was racially motivated which is a huge unfounded assumption.
@@edwardburroughs1489 systemic racism can exist; I'm an ACPO accredited criminal intelligence analyst and I worked with the Met post Stephen Lawrence so I'm not blithely basing this on a Guardian op-ed. Which specific words of mine did you interpret as assuming that the killing of an unarmed and restrained black man by a white police officer was racially motivated?
@@LeoKearse Im not saying systemic racism cant exist, I'm saying there is no evidence for it in the areas that BLM claims that it does exist. You said about 2 mins into the interview that the murder of George Flloyd was "a clear symbol of the racism inherent in the police". That is an assumption based on no evidence at all and it does nothing but take the spotlight of cases like that of Tony Timpa and Kelly Thomas. If you watch the video of the murder of Kelly Thomas I'm sure you'll agree that George Floyd was treated with relative compassion as strange as that may sound. The question i'm left with is why are cases like the two aforementioned almost completely unknown?
I don’t know why you’ve titled this right wing comedian, his views are left wing
El Matadores yeaaa, but he also seems to buy into quite a few woke arguements, could just be a case of lack of knowledge in those areas
Because thats what he called his show. Its a quote. Its a joke.
Yeah agreed brother, fucking bloke is a turd, how could any sane person confuse him for a comedian, let alone a right winger. Christ, I'm watching to expand my knowledge on random topics, this man is clearly a hardcore leftist extremist / a few steps away from an eco terrorist. This episode saddened me.
I can find no humor in a situation without first knowing the
gender, race, preferred pronoun, ethnicity, national origin,
religion, skin color, skin shade, attitude, social media opinion,
level of wealth, sexual preference, political leaning, age, weight,
economic class, police record, connections, family, circle of
friends, speech impediments, celebrity support, level of
intelligence, and public opinion of all persons involved. So don't
start telling "so called" jokes without first telling me
all of the really important information.
Signed, Tolerant Ted.
Please tell me all of these things about you so I know if I can laugh at this comment.
Hi - You forgot to mention the North south divide and my Northern privalage 😃
All humor has context.
😅😃😂🤣😀😄😆😁😊
Nomecaddies...... Brilliant👍
"Far right".... why is nobody defining this? Here's my interpretation. You are "far right" if you do not agree with the Woke narrative/Labour party/politically correct brigade/Common Purpose morons. The minute anyone makes that reference, it's a dead giveaway. If I keep hearing that phrase on here and on Spiked, I shall withdraw my support. I don't want to do that because I enjoy your broadcasts but perhaps you need to do a live feed on the definition of "far right" and let's debunk a few myths eh?
We talked about this quite a bit with Jack Buckby. He definites it pretty accurately. There is such a thing as the far left and also the far right. We shouldn't pretend they don't exist.
@@triggerpod I agree FF but I have been to hell and back just for voting to Leave and labelled "far right", "racist", "homophobic" etc just for being part of the Leave campaign. All this even though throughout the campaign I spoke to people of all colours and sexual preferences who were voting to leave. I've been "cancelled" - a few years ago before ever this all happened. I am accepting of everyone as long as they are a decent person but I've never been "far right". I've been labelled "far right" because I disagree with BLM! Do you see where I'm going with this?
@@triggerpod I love your broadcasts and you have some fantastic guests and I'm not usually "triggered" but that phrase really does my head in because in my opinon, far right and far left are one and the same - bigoted, intolerant, bullying morons who don't have a clue what they're talking about.
@@triggerpod I will watch the broadcast you mentioned. I have not seen all of them yet. Time constraints. Sorry, I'm sensitive because I have literally been to hell just for being white, female, conservative (small c) and because I like to look feminine. Hence my profile on here being bland.
That's exactly what they are. You must know from watching our content that we don't think Brexit voters are far right! But that doesn't mean there isn't a nasty fringe that genuinely are far right.
Is he keeping the door open for the remote possibility of a B B C payday?
Wrong Think - “Leo, if you tone down the sarcasm and kowtow to BLM, we will give you a spot on Mock The Week”.
Now, wtf else would this guy fly back from Aus to lockdown GB?
@@sirrathersplendid4825 And if he refused they'd blacklist him and he'd probably never work again.

"This is an Inclusive space, you have to leave." 😅🤣
How do you sneak a lefty on Triggernometry, you find a lefty with a single centrist view. Well done guys. "A nods as good as a wink to a blind bat"
Yeah right wing!!!! He’s the new Bernard Manning 😂
....or the new Roy Chubby Brown, lol!
LOL
What exactly is right wing about this comedian? 🙄 The only right wing he's ever held is out a KFC bucket. The guys practically an SJW.
Paul Brown He’s most likely a fiscal conservative, but clearly very socially liberal. Would have been more accurate to describe him as a “libertarian” comedian, as he isn’t particularly right-wing.
You know they have problems getting lefties on. This is their clever way of getting lefties on.
@@donlogan83 I'm not sure. Stalin was fiscally conservative but he certainly wasn't a classical liberal 😂 I don't think anyone who is that misinformed about political issues and swallows the media narrative on societal issues can, in all seriousness, define themselves as a libertarian. Lol, if sum1 says they're a libertarian they've seriously thought about politics and researched it enough to identify with a very specific type of political discourse. This guy, for me, fits the left wing criteria perfectly; misinformed, nauseatingly 'right on' and probably has female genitalia. Ok maybe not the last one but defo the former two.
@@jeffsmith2283 haha 😂😂 I wish that were true it would be so funny. Leftists refuse to debate anyone most of the time. Especially a politically informed person who insitsts on presenting facts and data and holding them to a standard of logic that they absolutely hate having to abide by. I want Michael Eric Dyson to debate sum1 again and watch him be proved wrong over and over all the while refusing to accept 'facts' as real. Facts, according to Dyson, are racist and right wing which is why he says they're always against him 😂😂🇬🇧
@roohit lal is it really? Can you give me an example? And the joke is actually; anyone right of Karl Marx is a fascist these daya. It's not witty or funny to swap some words around and pretend you made a good joke. It's pathetic actually. Also, I was being sarcastic which I think is quite obvious by the tone of the message. It's called hyperbole. The difference is leftists are the well known neurotics and label makers it's practically in their DNA it fits to say it about the left because it's a persistent trait. Right wing actors are usually defending inappropriately being labelled and not being the ones making them and dishing them out. And Ben Shapiro is a terrible example to use as he is not an extremist. The joke hinges on picking someone so far off on the political spectrum that it would not be a commonly held position and therefore being right of Marx is basically every normal person with a brain. It's an attempt to illustrate the illogical thinking of leftists. Ben Shapiro is only a conservative therefore what are you trying to say? Most people left of Ben Shapiro ARE SJW types as you only have libertarian and centre left between them. And they're not so common nowadays. So indeed, most people left of Ben Shapiro ARE SJW's. Well done numpty 👌
More like self proclaimed “edgy” comedian in an avocado shirt doesn’t realise he’s woke, just like the rest of ‘em
He's full of sh!t.
Yes, Master Mundi.
What's with this group think? Are you also one of free speech and free thinking? Maybe there are some elements of 'woke' that people can adapt without becoming part of the virtue terror brigade. Jeez.
There's a difference between being woke & just a reasonable libertarian! I knew he'd piss off the racists who camouflage themselves among us genuine free-thinkers who're sick of the ideological offspring from neo-Marxism & postmodernism currently infecting Westen culture.
@@dohlecarnett1866 Read your comment after posting my own similar opinion...absolutely!
Well done, you finally DID manage to get an SJW on; and he certainly didn't disappoint with his fluent wokespeak, bigoted arrogant attitude, and wild assertions. Couldn't you just have interviewed the brilliant Zuby twice?
Right wing? He sounds like every other wokeist.
This guys immediately demonstrates how woke he is with the clear systemic racism comment, then tries to act like hes not one of those woke people. how bout you actually WAKE up!
Yeah, likewise with the people demonstrating to protect statues being "Neo nazi's" then later on saying social media amplifies the extremes? the mainstream media always conflate anti woke with racist or nazi's, I didn't see nazi salutes, only the newspapers portraying people with their arms raised as nazi salutes when those images come from video that shows this is a lie. A sheep in wolves clothing.
This guys ideas and assertions should’ve been challenged more throughout this interview. One of the worst guys. Very disappointed.
The guy is 100% woke. His starting point is to say the police are racist, and he goes on from there. Pathetic, a terrible guest.
Made some good points, but assuming the killing is racially motivated is a bad assumption, no evidence of that yet
"This is an inclusive space. You have to leave."
Fascinating. I found this guy more reasonable than most of the other people on Triggernometry. But so many people in the comments go against him for not being 'not right enough'. This dude has his own opinion, uses free speech and he is under attack for that by people who allegedly want you to have your opinions and free speech. Fascinating².
@@robbya1037 Well, at other corners in these commentary section I had discussions about that already. I'd just say that he has some positions that are right-leaning enough: He wants as less state as possible, he's for free speech. The more interesting question seems to be why his position makes him so anti-right wing? I mean, he questions stuff and he has values? Not every right-leaning character needs to be your average Red Piller, anti SJW anti woke dude. You get me?
He's Woke AF.
Just a complete and utter idiot, I don't think even he knows what he stands for.
@@robbya1037 Triggernometry are trying to brush all this over, by saying he's the funniest person they've ever had on. Clearly, they don't read their comments section. I swear to God, if they ever put such another peanut again on their channel, I will walk away forever.
I only recently became aware of Leo, but even just based on the small amount of comedy of his that I've seen, I was surprised to hear him make so many assertions of the kind you'd hear from the further reaches of the left, with regards to things like systematic bigotry and people being 'far-right', and also his unironic use of what could be considered some fairly woke terms.
I'm not interested in policing anyone's language or opinions, so people can say what they like, but I was struck by the dissonance by how he appears to see himself sociopolitically, and much of what he actually seems to believe.
He's all over the place, I get the distinct impression even he doesn't know where he stands, and I don't find him funny at all either.
@@k9killer221 Well, like I say, I don't know much about him, so it's possible that's he's just waking up to a lot of this stuff and might change some of his stances over time.
This interview actually reminded me of the one they did with Fin Taylor, another person who on the face of it would seem to broadly be on the anti-woke side of the culture war, but didn't really appear to understand what was actually going on based on many of the answers he gave during his episode.
Like most people, he can have a wide ranging conversation without being able to be pigeon holed into any narrow tribe, as so many people here want to be.
Guys, life isn’t a series of opportunities to check for particular phrases,and then name-call.
@@sisiphas
Who is name-calling?
So you think people can say anything they like?
Good to see that even right wingers have become fannies too...
This guys clearly a left wing comedian
Bloody hell 3 comedians tiptoeing round is not what i came for. Lets get back to asking the experts who voice opinions and challenge the narrative.
Listening to his left wing english gave me a headache
Seems like a lefty to me
You guys know that Derek Chauvin is in jail facing murder charges for killing George Floyd, right?
Been stabbed 21 times despite being totally innocent given the new (actually not new...it had just been suppressed) evidence. Mind you, what do you expect from a nation that found OJ innocent just to appease the expedient Left & the salient "vested interest" demographic?!
Who is this lemon?
Once he mentioned the lefty code word 'Systemic racism' I knew he wasn't right wing lol..in saying that he seems like a decent stand up and guy..
I agree and I like your name
You know they have problems getting lefties on. This is their clever way of getting lefties on. "A nods as good as a wink to a blind bat"
@@jeffsmith2283 I don't think that it is a 'clever way'. It just highlights more the fact why 'the Lefties' as you call them suppose to have a dominant stand on culture yet not their own youtube channels and stuff?
Thought this guy might be the second Frankie Boyle. But, like Boyle he’s been at the PC Coolade. What a great shame.
I think he might be a Far Left troll who's selling himself as a "Right Wing" comedian, lol!
I'm not sure why he thinks that transgender people are descriminated against when the only thing anyone really cares about is that women don't want people with penises in our private spaces. He clearly isn't prepared to have a feminine male in the men's toilet, why not? We also don't want to compete against males in sport, that's it, nothing crazy.
It sounds like common sense to me.
@roohit lal I think yes.
I like Leo a lot but his critique of the Floyd killing needs work. To me it seems more likely a result of the poor selection and training of police officers and specifically in the Floyd case pre existing enmity between the people concerned. As a general point it's a sad fact of life most violent crime takes place in the poorer communities of the world irrespective of colour meaning the police, also irrespective of colour, will have disproportionately more contact with those communities. In a heavily armed society such as the US these interactions are likely to be violent where an understandable precautionary principle leads to heavy handed tactics on the part of the police. A very difficult job.
What modern comedy needs is a meter connected to the sphincter of every audience member.
Paul Stuckless - “connected to”. Sir, surely you mean “inserted into”?
Not a good bit of publicity here for him. He's going to lose fans not gain any.
Starts the interview with “systematic racism”. Really. Come on Leo I thought you pushed back against this crap.
As a huge James Bond fan, I don't understand why people keep saying Idris Elba would be so perfect for the role. For starters, he's 20 years too old - especially when you consider that a Bond actor should potentially have to return to the role for the next 10 years. Also, the established character of Bond comes from a very specific background; he's from the British upper class, went to public school, and has a Scottish heritage. Something tells me there aren't a great deal of black British people that fit that mold. The thing about having a white English-speaking actor from a non-British country play Bond is that they can convincingly pull off that type of character. If you decide to change that about him, then why not just change everything else - at that point you could just call it a completely different person.
Honestly, if I was making a Bond movie or series I would definitely set it in the 1950's and '60's; characters often work best when depicted in their era of origin (such as Sherlock Holmes in the 1890's), and only become increasingly dissonant to the current period as time moves on. These past eras also hold a certain appeal to modern audiences; see the popularity of Mad Men or Peaky Blinders.
The race-swapping of established characters has become much more prevalent in recent times, and it seems many studios and producers feel it's a trendy thing to do; or at least it drums up some controversy and then backlash against said controversy (in turn increasing publicity for their project). In this way, they can push their politically-correct agenda through relatively cynical methods. Apologies for the ramble, but it's a topic that many people don't seem to think through.
I'm a Bond fan from Germany and I'd say that Bond just needs to fit to criterias: male & spy. Everything else is debateable.
That being said, I don't have any need to see this one or that one in the role. I just want it to work and don't go woke for the sake of it.
'he's from the British upper class, went to public school, and has a Scottish heritage. Something tells me there aren't a great deal of black British people that fit that mold' Correct. So what does that tell you?
The problem isn't James Bond being race-swapped, it's that it's a one-way street! There's zero from-black-to-white race-swapping going on!
Switched off after 4 minutes
Me also.
Very wise . It was merde .
Fascinating people? Wait are they backstage? XD
Leo is so funny that he pretty much turns two comedians into his straight men!
I had a dream.
In my dream, police were arresting actual criminals. Regardless of skin color or political views.
And lawyers and judges were sending them to jails.
Then I woke up.
@8:10
I am a black Cambridge graduate and such comments irk me. I’m from a “low” socio-economic background/area and had an average state school education. I managed, however, (thank God) to end up at Cambridge.
Now the path after graduation is difficult, but when you have people assuming because you’re black (or any other non-white group) and went to Oxford or Cambridge that you’re now somehow part of the “gatekeeper club” or the status quo with a “different skin colour” defeats the point and is ignorant.
This type of attitude could potentially lower aspirations as well. Black students might as well go to a top London university, than go to Oxford and Cambridge, May be then they won’t be stereotyped as being part of the “establishment”.
“Reverse snobbery” at its best and I’m not even a “snob”. I guess it’s the “tainted” by association rhetoric at play.
The point is all the conversations on diversity of people and thought are full of nuances and those nuances need to silver through the various echo chambers.
That’s all.
Peace.
By ticking a box. Come on, even Alex Scott knows that she got her Football Focus job through affirmative action. Well done though - now you need to make the most of your combined good luck & hard work.
Pointless conversations with ignorant guests!
This guy's opinions are all over the place and I don't think he's really thought them through. Very little insight into anything.
He has improved in these departments?
He may have dropped his frequent reference to the 'far right' as he has the label attached to him more over time.
The point for all the people in the comments is that compared to the sjw, leftie, pandering comedians that we have to suffer on the BBC - he has opinions and jokes that are deemed right-wing. If you are right wing you won't find him right-wing , the point is you will struggle to find one of them for a reason - they won't get to talk shite on Mock The Week or The Last Leg.
The analogy of woke withe Roman Catholicism is spot on.
The liberal left are the direct descendants of protestant puritans. See David Starkey.
Or any religion. I attended a Protestant church for many years where the people CONSTANTLY tried to OUT CHRISTIAN one another. They saw DEVILS everywhere (drinking/smoking/dancing/ dressing up for Halloween, etc.) and would proudly proclaim it evil. If you disagreed - you were rebellious, if you could not honestly see the devil (and believe me some of the things/actions being accused of being evil were laughable) you were a HERETIC and did not REALLY love God. It took awhile, but I realized I would NEVER be good enough for this group. I walked away. They ask me when I'm going to come back, to which I reply, "when I'm good enough to be in your presence ".
Having said all that, I'm realizing God Himself is completely accepting, though He does have rules for us to live by that essentially prevents us from hurting ourselves and others.
Disagree - woke is Puritanism with no forgiveness. At least Catholics recognise you can grow and change without being held to account for positions taken young and stupid.
It has been proved the heroic black guy and the white guy were a plant!
leo, you had me at the dead sea turtle joke.
Anyway.....I can't wait to see Neil Oliver on your (terrific) show.
'Wait , wait Martin...'I also had a dream. I was riding a giraffe with the cheeky girls''. Hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha
January 2022 :: It's interesting to watch this conversation 18 months after it was first aired, now that Leo has become more high-profile and has done a stint as a talking head on the Lotus Eaters. I was confused by his Lotus Eaters appearances because he seemed to be very unaware of current affairs; this could be regarded as a bit of a disadvantage, given that he was supposed to be commenting on current affairs. But this Trigger conversation leads me to the conclusion that Leo isn't a very deep thinker and just gloms onto the news headlines for many of his opinions. That said, his standups (the ones I've seen on RUclips, at least) are genuinely funny where he sticks to observational stuff and avoids politics.
Errr..this woke guy lives in fantasy land.
To this day my ex is shown as a feminist man on all social networks, he owes me our son's alimony for a year and was more abusive than shit. Never trust a "feminist" men!!!
For a sec I thought its Taika Waititi is on the show...
I don’t think Leo is woke, he’s just center-right. The problem with people here is that anyone who is not far right is woke by definition, which is the same as the lefties calling anyone not woke a Nazi.
No way is he center-right, the Overton window hasn't shifted that much.
I'm a Canadian with plenty of Scottish heritage and I have to say, a Scotsman could tell an otherwise dull story but with that accent it will be hilarious anyway. (I hung out with a Scott while backpacking in Australia and he had me in stitches without trying to be funny.)
That’s my pet theory about Kearse. As a Scot all I hear is an averagely funny, not very thoughtful pub bore. Maybe I’ve been spoiled.
"If you say hateful stuff at a comedy club it wont work"... That describes most of the comedians on the BBC though.
You can tell he still gets work. Not because he's funny but because he goes along with the woke narrative without seemingly knowing he is.
Was hoping Leo would bring out Pun Guy in this Triggernometry interview. Something like "Is it cos I am tan?" would have been baller! That's it for me. Heading back to my cot.
He isn't right wing. He speaks Woke as well as the rest of them
Like what?
*This interview was pretty much a complete failure.* Leo Kearse is a comedian who's occasionally funny, but he isn't "Right Wing" by any stretch of the imagination. Moreover, he's utterly uninformed on subjects he offers opinions on, e.g. there is no evidence whatsoever that the George Floyd case was racially motivated.
He's just completely full of it. Terrible interview.
If you read the title of the interview, it doesn't mean necessarily that he himself is right wing or needs to be. They specifically talk about 'right-wing comedy'.
He himself then later gives some more right-leaning positions like free speech or liberatarian views. Of course this is all perspective if you think about that free speech was always more a left wing issue.
@@dohlecarnett1866 I've seen Kearse's bits before (Comedy Unleashed) and watched his interviews. By US standards, he's a Lefty (just not a member of the Evangelical Left); by UK standards, he's Center Left. A libertarian favors very limited govt and few drug laws but equally advocates for private gun ownership and unflinching state respect for property rights. Does any of that sound like Kearse's positions? I didn't think so.
@@censorshipbites7545 He talked about as less state as possible and council's just there for the bins. That is basically the essence of Libertarian fews. If you want to put him in a box - sure, you can get more Libertarian than that. But also a lot less.
@@dohlecarnett1866 _He talked about as less state as possible and council's just there for the bins. That is basically the essence of Libertarian fews._ No, it's not; if you think so, you don't know what libertarianism is. What you're describing is libertarian-tinged leftism, which is akin to mass produced American beer aka beer-flavored water. Abolishing the NHS, BBC, the UK's nanny state health and safety rules, and eliminating welfare would be an actual libertarian's first priorities; you think Leo's on board for that?
Is that a shirt with avocado 🥑 print, fucking controversial, legend 🤣🤣🤣👏🏻🥑
I’ve just realised I’d LOVE the guys to interview Jerry Saddowitz. Haven’t seen him in so long.
Isn’t the joke that you don’t have to do a whole lot to be considered right wing now!? Leo is clearly a nice guy and I enjoyed this one for what it was, some comedians having a laugh. The bloke never claimed to be up on everything so a couple things missed the net but pfft, I thought he was fun! As was seeing KK’s sphincter tighten when he mentioned CC 😂👍🏻
Robby A chill out bud, it’ll do you good 😉
I wish Triggernometry would have the balls to have Tommy Robinson on the show instead of them or their guests repeating the same old mistruths about him.
Jon Evans KK stated on one of the recent streams that he wouldn’t interview him. I don’t like TR, but I would be interested to watch an interview in which his views are challenged without the usual hyperbole
donlogan83 yeah, would be interesting. But it would take some balls, like I said. I suspect that like most people KK and FF have not actually listened to things TR has said, only what people say about him. Hence being afraid to even touch him with a barge pole.
“ This is a tolerant, inclusive, welcoming space! Get out! We will not tolerate your lack of inclusiveness! You are not welcome here!”
That George Floyd "He was egregiously murdered" consensus aged well given the rest of the footage & the revelation that the use of the knee for extremely violent offenders is a practise specified in police training.
its not a 'narrative' it is reality.
This guy has no idea what he's talking about.
THERE we go, @francisjfoster! PERFECT 80s softcore soundtrack for your bedroom!
It's not like I infinitely respect every person I meet or know of on the right, but I don't believe I've ever met one I've been so instantly disappointed with.
He's not even aware his 2D opinion on systemic racism is against the grain for the right, does this guy actually know what Conservative values are? Does he just suck at comedy and this could be his "niche"? Is he a poorly dressed up Leftism gateway drug for malleable people (or youths) on the right to think "well even a right wing comedian thinks this, so...."
Spike Milligan did a sketch of the Cock-o-nees as a David Attenborough.... Where would he be now?
Any more "brilliant guests" like this one and I shall have to unsubscribe: which would be a pity.
Me too. I think they should take down this interview.
@@karlp8484 Why's that? Because you can't deal with this opinion? But wasn't this channel always about different opinions? You want to create another filter bubble? It's one too much already...
Hilarious. I found this guys point of view interesting. The title says he is right wing but from some of his comments I would say he probably is but he is ill informed regarding the ideological side of the movement. I don't think he has been versed in Critical Race Theory and is hence unaware of the nature of the term systemic racism or institutional racism.
@@dohlecarnett1866 He starts out by saying the police are racist, that's not only totally wrong but about as "right-wing" as the Mayor of Seattle. And he's about as funny as a lockdown too. So he's not "right-wing" and also not a "comedian".
@@karlp8484 Well, yes - but the title is about 'ring wing comedy' and not about himself alone.
So are British indigenous people included in poc now?
How about getting some environmental practitioners and thinkers on to Triggerometry or people such as Liam Halligan talking about other issues other than comedy censorship and wokeness etc - I get this is the issue you're most worried about, have had personal experience from etc, but I'm sure are other issues that confront other people, problems that need resolving. A 'project' might be when you ask 'What's the one issue we're not talking about, that we really should be taking about?' Perhaps get the best expert you can on that issue and keep that going for a few episodes (I don't know a pattern of five - comedian/musician/actor/writer/etc-other issue-issue-issue-issue, then return to comedian/musician/actor/writer/etc). Perhaps this might show people that there are other concerns and worries. Still, good show. Keep up your good work.
We have had Liam on the show. Twice!
@@triggerpod I know, I've watched both. I just meant people like Liam rather than specifically Liam. #LostInTranslation.
43:56 - Who's the well known comedian Francis mentioned but wouldn't name?
Ahhhh, Leo mentions at 47:04 Chris Coltrane and Russell Brand, I wonder if it is really one of those.

I saw this chap as he debuted at the Edinburgh festival. Tried to pay him £20 for his efforts but his el chipo card machine didn't work. Glad to see he's got a good profile. He wasn't very right wing though.
KK dealt with the trans point v well. V impressive. He is often glib, but appreciated his take on this issue.
Anyone remember the -
"Even if you're not racist, you're racist" claim from the left?
I'm sure 'you must.
Francis and Konstantin made that claim recently about a man who lives in a country which is ethnically different to his, who also happens to date outside his own race.
"You shall know them by their deeds"
Apologies to Poon Poon for eyeing up FF in that sexy boudoir ad.
Eight years studying gender doesn't give you 'good' opinions, quite the opposite.
Yeah I thought exactly the same when he said that. He is 100% wrong on that.
Wouldn't say he is necessarily right wing. He just had a comedy show called right wing.
I love his avocado-themed shirt!
Can't understand why Glinner is speaking out? Come on, this is a cop out. Would love to see this guy actually engage fully in debate.
a year an a half later … all the worst predictions have come true.
2 years later...everything has been resolved. We're now living under Sharia.
@@ph8077 XD landing strip one has fallen!
Someone explain to this man there's no such thing as Systemic Racism.
Again, I hear Tommy referred to as 'far right'. I don't think he is. He criticises an ideology, an ideology that is misogynistic, homophobic, anti-democratic and (pertinent at the moment) advocates the taking of slaves. Surprised, want to jump to islams defence? First, read the Koran, and get cognisant with the hadith, and you will see that my statements are correct. Ask a muslim as well, but be aware of the term 'Taqiya'. Tommy does not say anything stronger than what Richard Dawkins wrote in 'The god Delusion' or Christopher Hitchens in 'god is Not Great', or in Ayaan Hirsi Ali's 'Infidel', Sam Harris's 'The End of Faith', Yasmine Mohammed's 'Unveiled' and Hamed Abdel-Samad's 'Islamic Fascism'. Not once have I heard Tommy say anything that differs from those books I have just named, books that I bought from my local branch of Waterstones. So, is it free speech for some, and not free speech for others? Did Tommy have to go to Oxford or Cambridge to acquire the 'correct' accent? Or is he too working class, too proletarian? Are the authorities afraid of the great unwashed knowing what they and Tommy knows? I think we are getting pretty warm there. He's made mistakes, he admits that, but his learning curve is steep, and when his family are threatened with acid attacks, murder etc, and an independent journalist gets a group of people to scare Tommy's family when he is out of the country, then I suppose his learning curve is going to be steep. Mark Twain once said 'In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned, When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.'
