Are they aware of how they come across to everyday people?
18:07
I don't think so.
18:09
And listen, I am an actor, right? So take this as you will.
18:13
I think that normal people don't become actors.
18:17
And I mean that in all seriousness.
18:19
Like, you know, I think that I grew up without a dad and I think that there was something missing in my life.
18:26
And what it did, like some people can collapse and go into themselves and other people will say, you know what, I'm going to go out.

20 MINS LATER

38:32
I have nothing.
46:14
What do you think when you see this play out and what's the warning, I would say, to America?
46:20
Well, I mean, there's absolutely a warning to be heeded here, watching what is going on in the UK to what is going to happen over here.
46:29
It's quite simple in this case is that we've known for a long time, Grant, that the accusation of racism is, or it used to be anyway, the worst thing you could possibly...
46:41
And now it's just weaponized.
46:43
And it was weaponized in this case, I believe, because immediately this individual said, oh, there was you heard the call that, you know, this is a racial attack.
46:53
So immediately the police just forgot.
46:57
Well, I presume they forgot all their training and just thought, you know, white man bad and went after the kid that was literally black.
49:19
What is up with him? This guy was all sensitive for George Floyd and nothing for Henry Novak.
11:13
What do you think when you see this play out and what's the warning, I would say, to America?
11:19
Well, I mean, there's absolutely a warning to be heeded here, watching what is going on in the UK, to what is going to happen over here.
11:28
It's quite simple in this case, is that we've known for a long time, Grant, that the accusation of racism is, or it used to be anyway, the worst thing you could possibly... be called and now it's just weaponized and it was weaponized in this case i believe because immediately uh this individual said oh there was you you heard the call that you know this is a racial attack so immediately the police just forgot well i presume they forgot all their training and just thought you know white man bad and went after the kid that was literally stabbed to death on the floor and didn't give any kind of aid they didn't even handcuff uh the two other men that were there it's absolutely staggering and the brits are very very slow to anger as you've probably seen this isn't the first time there've been a number of attacks a number of stabbings one in my hometown actually a young woman by the name of rihanna white was stabbed on the steps of this train station by an Afghan, murdered.
12:37
And it's almost like, you know, after the 50th time this happens, we're not going to take it anymore.
12:41
But the irony of all this is it is suicidal empathy.
12:47
It is, for the longest time, the Brits being very understanding and saying, look, you know, we are accepting people here.
12:55
And we don't want to be called names.
14:17
What is up with him? This guy was all sensitive for George Floyd and nothing for Henry Novak.
5:37
Uh, Sir Matthew, why don't you-- why don't we start with you? Who are you? What do you do?
5:40
I'm Matthew Marsden, and um, I'm a recovering actor.
5:43
[laughs]
5:44
Used to be in Hollywood for a number of years until they didn't like me anymore because of my views, and then just out doing some other things, doing a little bit of YouTubing, coming on the, this great show.
12:22
You agree with me, you liked the Frankenstein movie?
12:23
Oh, uh, I thought it was great, but I, I think that they made a mistake and Netflix didn't put it out.
12:29
I mean, they did a limited release for the Oscars, for Oscar, Oscar consideration, but they didn't...
12:34
I think that that would have had legs if they would have put it out, because it's a really fantastically made film, and I would have gone to see it, to see it at the cinema.
12:43
Uh, but I really, really enjoyed it.
12:46
Uh, and I think that it's one of those things where if you just keep the politics and the agenda out of the material, people will go and see it.
12:55
So it'd be interesting to see the numbers on Netflix, like what they did with that film, 'cause it's got to be the biggest movie, um, that they've done in, in quite some time.
15:12
I mean, by the time my kid's old enough, that, that's gonna be 30-something, 40-something years old.
