0:00.0	Watch the first TV debate. Between me and Boris Johnson, you've seen me hold up these
0:17.0	censored, blacked out reports. Pages and pages of censored, blacked out reports of
0:25.8	secret US and UK talks about breaking open our NHS to US corporations. He told the
0:35.8	country there was no circumstances whatsoever in which his government or any conservative
0:43.8	government would put the NHS on the table. What I have here is something I can reveal
0:50.6	to you. 451 pages of unredacted documents and information. These unscented documents
1:01.6	leave Boris Johnson's denials in absolute tatters. We've now got evidence that under Boris
1:08.0	Johnson the NHS is on the table and will be up for sale. The Conservatives said this was
1:15.4	nonsense. The documents show that we were right. In fact, negotiations have advanced even
1:22.6	further than we feared they had. So now we know direct from the secret reports that they
1:29.2	never wanted you to see. The US is demanding that our NHS is on the table in negotiations
1:36.8	for a toxic deal. Mega corporations see Johnson's alliance with Trump as a chance to make billions

1:50.0	the survival of our National Health Service as a public service free for all at the point
1:56.1	of need. So for the want of any doubt, let me give this reassurance. Labour will never
2:01.6	ever treat our NHS as a bargaining chip in trade talks with anybody. We will never let Donald
2:08.3	Trump get his hands on our NHS, because our NHS is not for sale.
2:29.8	Welcome to the Michael Brooks Show, a broadcasting live from downtown Brooklyn, USA, where we say
2:38.0	no coup anywhere with super producer Matt Leck. Yeah. Chief economist David Risco. How's it going?
2:48.9	On this week's program, big was, was the Lambray Returns, my amigo, my co-host of Wokebrows,
2:55.4	we're talking about the Irishman, why the NBA's ratings are dipping, and what Michael Bloomberg
3:02.6	and Rudy Giuliani tell you about the modern world will also probably say goodbye to Senator Harris.
