• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So Keir Starmer's resignation has come as no surprise to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: those who listen to this or pretty much any show
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: on this station. But what should worry us, I think
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: is why. Sure he was a dud, Sure he was
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: a bit bit of a goofball, he wasn't cool at all,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: But on immigration he was at least trying. Illegal crossings
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: were down eighty five percent off their peaks. Crime was
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: falling in the UK, the economy stumbling but not fallen.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Over the Times newspaper now that I reckon with the
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: headline panicking politicians addicted to iPhones, ourster prime minister. That's
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: basically what happened here. In ten years. They've had Cameron,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: that have had May, they've had Johnson, they've had Trust,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: they've had Sooner remember that Starma, and now shortly burn him.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: He'll probably end up just as loathed and hated as
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the bloke who went before him. I don't think this
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: is just a politics thing, and certainly not just a
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: British thing, although they do like to wing. We humans
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: are undergoing an evolutionary metamorphosis into impatient and petulant children,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: all of us. Yesterday, research has reported that kids can't
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: watch movies these days because their attention spans are too short,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: and movies are meant to be fun. Musical albums are
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: a thing of the past. Even the idea of sitting
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: down and listening to an entire song is foreign to some.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: A few seconds or hooks of a chorus on TikTok
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: passes as easy listening these days. Forget reading a book
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: for goodness sakes, Is it any wonder? The world is
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: chewing through political leaders like there's no tomorrow, and consuming
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: more content than the world.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Has ever in its history, Yet somehow end up dumber
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: than beforehand. You notice that, and the irony of Ai,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the Great Savior of the universe, the technological equivalent of
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Andy Burnham, will save us time, will give us more
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: time to read and to watch movies, and to switch
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: political leaders. What on earth will we do with it all?
