- 'You have enormous levels of certainty built on absolutely nothing...'
'The fact that everything you've said has fallen apart and crumbled won't have dented your certainty one iota will it?'
James O'Brien engages in a heated debate with caller Neil who alleges that the UN 'funds Hamas' building their tunnels - yet, when James presses him on it, Neil struggles to validate his point.

It's mind boggling that someone can be so unknowingly genocidal.
Not unknowingly, these were the same people calling for the Iraq war based on what they believed and were fed, not what they know.
That’s how genocides can occur. Cognitive dissonance is a real thing.
He knows he just doesn't care.
He's been reading about Hamas.
I am sorry but it looks like it is knowingly .
This is how journalism should be! To put goons in their places. Thank you James! One of my most favourite interviews.
💯🎯❤️
@@IanRubenwere you the person on the phone to james 😂😂😂😂
Not like piers the wasteman.
Piers Morgan must learn from this guy..Irish go boy
you are talking a bout the caller right?@@IanRuben
That caller was a stunning example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect. So little knowledge about a subject yet is so confident in their knowledge about said subject.
It's more an example of Israeli Psychological Operations operating on Western Media to garner support for their Rhodesia on Med "democracy".
I wish this were true. But he is just spouting Hasbara
We saw a lot of this during the pandemic. Source: Trust me bro, l did my research on fb.
@@Britz1393exactly 😂he was so ashamed to cite : my Facebook group
Freddie Kruger is better.
This is how a journalist should tackle a poorly informed hater.
Not poorly informed but a propagandist
He is not poorly informed, he is just VERT poorly trying to hide his racism.
Poorly informed but absolutely certain of his own beliefs absent any evidence. The worst kind of know-it-all. I don't mind a know-it-all if they have facts to back it up.
@@truevulgarian Certainly 'told' what to think by the media. Gullible for sure. Still, hopefully, he will go away and think at least a little about sources, reliability, verification, and triangulation. It took me time to become more critical of sources - realization must be followed by application and understanding.
@@Non-Doctors-Music Exactly. This is what happens when you primarily surround yourself with like-minded people. These assertions get drilled into your head, but you're unable to have a productive debate because you've never been exposed to differing viewpoints. As soon as someone counters or asks you to cite a source, you're a deer in headlights.
Caller: "I have my reasons and my beliefs of what I've seen."
James: "Everyone does at Christmas."
Brilliant.
Sensational 🤣
I laughed so hard 😂😂😂😂😂😂💀
@@sheikhqh716 James he's WASTING YOUR TIME and significant callers time deliberately....
Not really. There was nothing wrong with the statement.
😂😂😂😂😂
James: “Source?”
Caller: “Trust me bro”

Israewl ever narrative !
This is what I’d call “getting a spanking live on radio”. Well done James
yah
Absolutely delicious.
I so hope he told his friends and family to listen.
James, you've renewed my confidence in British journalism.
Give over he's no journalist hes just a rude radio hack .
👍👍👍
LBC is an exception. MSM is mostly just propaganda to brainwash the masses.
Nice bit of interviewing there.
Why is Assange in a British jail then?
Maybe the caller should ask Benjamin Netanyahu how Hamas is funded???
Hamas is funded by Charlie and the chocolate factory, the Oompa Loompas have been building rockets for hamas way before man walked the planet.
The donations USA sends to i$rael.
😂😂😂
@@jamesbriton5545 An emergency 60,000 tank shells have been rushed from the US to Israel at the same time as the UN was voting for a ceasefire..
Hamas is funded by Israel! 😊
The worst bit is the fact that after having his argument completely dismantled he is totally unwilling to re-evaluate his own beliefs 🙈
Too dull to realize his own inadequacies.
Individuals who make unfounded claims rarely do.
Because it’s not based on rationality.
Yes, that's worrisome. Limited ppl refusing to learn
Right! What happened to admitting your wrong and learning from it.
Thank you James for putting this caller on a hot seat? Very few journalists dare to ask questions like you do.
Ignorance is our biggest enemy!
Or the biggest Israel Ally!
❤❤❤
Lies n hypocrisy is worse
Neil was so sure of himself when he called in, but by the end of the interaction was pacing the room in dispair. This was one of James' best demolitions of all time.
I wondered if he was angrily chopping carrots in the background! 😂
Catharsis is an understatement
Neil sounded like he was pacing on a wooden floor in high heels!
James has no first hand knowledge of what is going on in the middle east it is all from external sources that also have no knowledge or are just wanting to spread false propaganda
Yes . Neil was in there like swim wear. Outta there like nasal hair :)))
Man, you can give American journalists and commentators lessons on how this is done. Well done indeed.
Mehdi Hasan is the only one that comes to mind and he lost his show for not being sufficiently deferential to his interviewees.
The biggest war we are fighting is the propaganda war!
@@erikt454I’ve seen Medhi Hasan say during an interview he thought a man flew to heaven on a winged horse. This is not a man who craves the truth 😂😂😂
@@nick260682whoops straw man.
Evil is real people and we are listening to him on the phone.
My goodness me this is scary stuff!
The lack of human compassion in some people is frightening!
Death blow - 'You have enormous levels of certainty built on absolutely nothing.'
That is the grimiest line I've heard this month. I'm stealing it!
Neil woke up and first thing he thought of was to call LBC and making himself sound like a fool.
He made a fine job of it too.
He doesn't sound like one, he is one
Not sounding like he is actually making himself so foolish its beggars belief!!!
He couldnt be that unsure could he ! He reminds me of that comedy show Some mothers do have them.
What is really scary is that there is a percentage of people out there who are exactly like Neil!!!
True
There are thousands of them! Scary!
* James: Your source?
Simple Jack: I have my reasons and my beliefs…
James: I mean, everyone does……at Christmas *
I died 😂😂
I’m very impressed with a REAL interview and no BS… straight to the point.. bravo ✅
Spot on James. this caller is a disgrace to humanity. No shame no heart. They Always want to play victim.
They are victims... discriminated against from being the "chosen"...worthy of supernatural title deeds...
I love how James obliterates these ignorant callers.
He’s the one working in the media not the callers.🤡
It's incredible that people like that caller is so ignorant and at the same so confident.People like that stopped evolving the minute they were born.
Listening to people like this in Europe and the State is very insightful. Now I fully understand how people could have stood by and done nothing and or supported slavery not too long ago. Utterly disgusting these fellows.
James O'Brien is brutal! He dismantled arguments that have no substance
Hardly very difficult with a caller like this!
So effortlessly too...
Am giggling my head off, I can hear him pacing up and down. He is crushed 😊

I love when these people call in. It shows how ridiculous and basic their (non)arguments are
Obrian doesn't provide a single source besides literally hamas.
So casual as he announced “40 million” was absolutely chilling to hear.
He meant it…💔
If this represents the British public please increase immigration from anywhere.
Sadly I’ve met people like that caller. I’ve never had the patience to do what James did. Well done to him. 👏👏👏
"I have my reasons and beliefs...and I've seen things"
Best argument ever
Source, trust me bro
I'm surprised he didn't start talking about having seen attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion...
@@alaninsoflo he doesn`t sound like a replicant 🤔
I`ve seen things !! I want to know where he scores his drugs from !!!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
those who believes various crazy rightwing stuff just want it to be so. Facts have nothing to do with it
BBC would have aired his claim and made it look as genuine fact and given James O'brien caller as on the ground source.
✌️🏼one of the Best journalists 2023... History never lies 🕊👍🏼
It’s hilarious how James summed up everything at the end calling out his ignorance and he still said he’s not changing what he’s thinking. One of the biggest problems with people is they have the strongest opinion on a topic yet know very little about said topic
There is actually a scientific name for it, its called Dunning-Kruger effect and is part of human learning, The less you know the more confident you are and as your knowledge grows your confident lessens !
James is wrong though, they have been more than a few main stream media reports, witnesses statements and video footage of aid being found in possession of hamas being used. It's why alot of aid is material goods instead of money but they still take it e.g infrastructure bulding materials used to make tunnels and rockets from pipes etc. Theres even been a few defectors that have said the same.
It's hilarious how James knows the guy is right so trys to argue with no facts and nothing statements and when he is shown up he threatens to cut them off. And it goes on and on with every caller that shows him up.
@@thegameisriggednwo1099 Sure!!!! my little Biased one!! 🫡
@@leosword7142 you can't hide from facts even though that's what you do to defend terrorists. However the keyboard left wing warrior that you are. You would never act like this in the real world.
The caller accurately represents most people's opinions that are made up without the basis of knowledge. Most people have more opinions than knowledge.
The caller's unfounded claims that Ecuador supports anti-Israeli groups are hilarious.
Web sites and far right propaganda...his daily intake of both is frightening...
The caller is israeli or agent for
It does seem that we have a country split between those that form an opinion and then ignore all facts, and those that check the facts and then form an opinion.
As the referendum and the 2019 GE showed.
@@jungbolosse3034 what a ridiculous notion, your Jew conspiracy leads you down as bad a rabbit hole as himself.
Ive provided evidence in my thread
How is that man allowed a bank card?
I hope Neil's missus plays this back to him regularly whenever he gets on his high horse until he finally understands the difference between opinion and fact.
It is instructive to see the monumental levels of stupidity that so many people are extremely eager to put on full public display. It is depressing to imagine how many "Neils" there are out there.
If they were simply arguing about whose football team is the best, it wouldn't matter, but.....
I applaud the interviewer for the calm brilliantly conducted way in which he destroyed the trash spoken by the caller
James has an intellect the size of a planet. If you are going to argue with him you had better know what you are talking about.
@@nicholasmartin297no he moves the goalposts till the callers capitulates
Urmm... No. He asks the same question again and again, until the person actually answers it, not exactly moving the goalposts is it? If only they do that in PMQs.
@@anonomous8719 Pillock!
the interviewer has no first hand knowledge he is just forwarding propaganda and lies...
Neil gives a perfect example of why England keeps voting against its best interests. Faced with facts that disagree with opinions, opinions win every time these days.......
Its called Dunning-Kruger effect. The less people know the more confident they are. Doesn’t bode well for humanity !
I didn't listen but seems like the bullfighter got the bull. How was your day in the colloseum?
The same rigid dichotomy in Canada, facts versus opinions...
It's not an England thing, fake news is sweeping the planet and many are being taken in.

Amazing air head called in. Wow.
Well done Mr O'Brien, you earned my respect as you are not afraid to question people who come on the radio with BIG lies.
How do you know there are no Hamas underground infrastructure tunnels
@@achandler6583 no one said there isnt.

@@achandler6583Mate. Israel admitted they built the tunnels.
Get a new angle man.
It terrifies me that people will watch, and accept as factual, videos from goodness knows what sources, made by people with dubious agendas. Truly worrying and terrifying.
Yes they watch BBC news.
@@makeithappen1952😂yes indeed
People choose to believe what they want to believe whatever on both sides. And they are often culpable in prolonging this conflict.
because those people have no critical thinking skills and never question authority.

- Lie of Babies being Beheaded
- Govt claims can be believed
- Govt claims can't be believed?
Thank you James for you humanity. Thank you for trying to save the children of Gaza. 😢
Gosh, that was depressing.
That was painful and delightful to watch 😂, no backed information whatsoever and he wanted to challenge him. Current main stream media in a nutshell, amazing job James O’Brien 👏👏
This is brutal, you can hear him coming in with all the pomposity and self righteousness, and thinks hes going to rip James a new one, and it gets turned so brutally on its head. Its delicious!
Absolutely - pompous!
Why does it sound like the caller walking around in high heels ?
@6:29 - best description of many People these days:
"You have enormous level of certainly built on absolutely nothing " 6:32
I can't believe the ignorance of that caller.
Its not ignorance. Its just baseless claims
The scary part is there are millions like him
Sounds like an average Brit
Unfortunately I can 😬
there are so many like him supporting this conflict unfortunately
This is really kind of sickening to hear that their is this kind of people living amongst us.
True. Also getting into relationship with such people is alarming
Definition a Jew
@@ashtonbailey3970100% jew!

One of the only stations who are brave a enough to speak up
As long as the journalist does not directly confront an Israeli govt. spokesperson.
Why can’t journalism always be like this?
Man, I am in shock on the transparency level and great neutral honest journalism LBC has and hats off to James O' Brien for his professional and neutral (no BullS**t) journalism. Love u guys. Keep up the great work. Would rather pay LBC than BBC for my TV license.
Lol
Jokes aside as I feel really bad about what is happening in Gaza.
This caller thinks it’s a comedy show
He’s not the only one…what are we up to now 21400?
This guy embarrassed himself like crazy
What is the banging in the background?😅😂😂😂 Classic James O'Brien. A national treasure.
Great interviewing skills James … if we had proper journalism like this around the world - we’d be in a better place
So true!!
The tunnels under the hospital were built in the 80s by Israel during their time there. They said so themselves. They said that's the reason why they are so sure they exist.
Crazy that you can just Google it but people listen instead of research what the listen to
Yeah I saw that interview on CNN
@gabsie.wrong Israel built shelter room under Hospital not Tunnels.
@@wernersidler5775 the former Israeli prime minister said by on live tv that they build tunnels not shelters , what more evidence do u need ?! 😂

How you can wake up someone when he pretends that he is asleep?
This is how to take down people that spill lies and conspiracy theories.. A great interview.. thank you..
Lol I enjoy him get checked 😂😂😂😂
True but the idiot walked away from this thinking he won
The callousness in his voice spoke more truth about his mind than his words ever did, and he did not even try to hold back.
There's alot of callousness on both sides.
I am afraid I have to disagree with your statement strongly. There is no "bothsidesim" or "whataboutasim" that can be applied here. There is one clear fact; 2.2 million people are being slaughtered, starved, and maimed right before our eyes by a force so unhinged, so devoid of humanity with the most advanced and devastating weapons' systems known to man. It is so gruesome that the entire world is aghast in horror. To describe it otherwise, is the very 'banality of evil'. @@chatham43

Goodluck in trying the us media to do any critical thinking it is beyond them.

Thankyou James O’Brien. This IS the kind of questioning needed. We must all do what we can no matter how overwhelming the forces arraigned against humanity and truth.
