00:00Running a flag outside a village hall in Norfolk, you sort of think, what's the big deal?
00:07What's the big deal? Be considerate. No, be considerate, guys. You can do it.
00:10I know you finished your segment, but you... Amen, I'm not going to let you get away with that one.
00:14Be considerate. Be considerate of other people's beliefs and views.
00:17If you are considerate and empathetic of everyone else and how they perceive the world,
00:21you might just find yourself leading with equality, just so you know. I'll finish it there.
00:25Can you say something? Please. You don't have to lecture me.
00:27No, I have to, when you say things like that, with all your respect.
00:30Because I sit in the middle trying to see both sides of things.
00:33But did you finish with mine? Did you finish with mine? You finished with race.
00:36And this is a right-wing channel. You interrupted again. I finished with everyone.
00:39I'm trying to say you did not... And then you finished with validating his point, not mine.
00:44You did not grow up in Northern Ireland. You're right, I didn't.
00:46Where a flag represented something political and anti to a certain religion in Northern Ireland.
00:52You're right. I did. I had to live with it.
00:54And just like with black people, you're not black, sir, and I understand racism more than you.
00:59Give me a break. Give me a break.
01:01So you're right. For a white person.
01:04So you're right, I haven't experienced racial discrimination or prejudice or bias in regards to being white.
01:10But what I have done is experienced it being white.
01:12Do you know who I'm asking?
01:13Ayman, we're the same, babes.
01:16Famously centrist BLM over there.
01:19Not the communists and not the Marxists.
01:21Let's go to the break.
