@@mrelba9176 You're over thinking my comment. This isn't a claim that every single guest or interview is an example of an echo chamber. Just this... "I don’t think two elitists whinging about how everyone on the “Far Right” is mean to them counts as some hard hitting interview, lol."
To repeat the usual comments...only recommended by UA-cam now. What an absolutely fascinating man. One can't help but be drawn in by these distinguished gentlemen. A bringing together of two very insightful men. Excellent.
My admiration for James O'Brien and John Bercow, has only increased. Wow ! Finally, a politician that actually answers questions and does not just give pre-prepared statements. John Bercow actually, going back to answer questions, to ensure EVERY question was answered. Very impressive, indeed. A man with integrity. No wonder he has enemies. Few others can look him in the eye.
@@JohnJones-wo1bc Not at all. We can only speak as we find. I always found John Bercow most amenable. He is almost singularly the only politician that ever answered my correspondence. Even my own MP can't be bothered to do that.
I have no problem saying I still admire this speaker. No he wasn't perfect but the modernization of the speaker role he accomplished and his ability to answer and not duck questions is refreshing
That’s the only thing I know about him as well, the way he delivers “ORDER!” is next level. And I agree, Parliament sessions seem more like slam battles.
Really? Have you not read the many accusations of his bullying and which he refutes with "there's no video evidence of that" .. i guess all accusers are liars. I was really beginning to like James's strong interview style, however he is a patsy here!
James: Oh thank you for delay brexit for as long as you did. John: oh yes of course. James: and here’s that unrelated suitcase of money I owe you. John: ah thank you very much.
I admire his very careful use of language He is extremely eloquent and intelligent. I followed his interactions with parliamentarians with great pleasure. He was robust and fit for the position of House speaker.
Aah how sweet. James O'Brien has met his hero, it would seem and become rather captivated by Mr Bercow. I will though wait for another time, when John Bercow is asked some proper questions.
That moment at 11:58 when he says "why can't we all just live happily together?" really cut me deep. You can still see the childhood glint, and subsequent pain in his eyes when he says that. We've all got deep-lying emotions that can come to the surface at any time.
Hypermarlin Some people have the capacity to listen to opinions they may disagree with and then make an informed decision to like or dislike the content. It’s seems odd to me that anyone would publicly declare wasting their time to click onto the video, just to register a dislike.
Hypermarlin No one is saying you should listen to this in one 40 min chunk, and while I wholly respect you right to express an opinion, I just personally question your credibility of that opinion when you’ve just “added a dislike and (apparently) left.” It leaves little to debate.
i can well imagine this man has his detractors but he must be given enormous credit for his intellectual honesty and his sense of urgency when it comes to being seen as having integrity and indeed his clarity of thaught. very likely we are fortunate that the majority of folk have perhaps a more easy going sense of values and convictions but Bercow stands out for his zeal and his egalitarian value system. like him or not he is indeed most formidable and one has to admire his courage. because of the enormous talent cultivated within the body politic for "double speak" this mans veiws are refreshing for the convictions that frame his utterances. add to this his pride in speaking the mother tongue with such extraordinary flair one is left to muse that this man really was far too clever to ever get to the top !!!!!!!!!
Superb interview subtley led by the wordsmith James and matched beautifully by the eloquent John. No stone unturned, no questions avoided, refreshing and transparent, the way politicians should behave.
Your obviously in need of Medical help if you think the little Hob Goblins eloquent. A condescending Gob $hite yes ! but eloquent, absolutely NEVER in a billion years.

@@elsnapo6062 That's entirely untrue, he was accused a few years before he left.

Wish he was still at Parliament. Parliament sounds boring now.

"I'd probably find more conservatives willing to support Enoch Powell these days" A rare occasion when James is bang on, if understating... I, along with a lot of people today, would vote for Powell in a heartbeat. I understand this was also the case back then for the majority if they'd been given a chance. But as always... We were never asked.

Not really a grilling. Briefly touched on his appalling views,but didn't really hold him to account. Treats other guests differently. How does he decide which ones to treat which way?
If this was a grilling then I needn't buy a George Foreman as I can apparently have instead a friendly chat with my steaks to achieve the same results. Interesting interview, but by no means a "grilling"

Fantastic interview. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment.
Compelling interview.... Intelligent questioning and honest, articulate answers.... Great radio.
GRILLS?! 😂😂😂
I don’t think two elitists whinging about how everyone on the “Far Right” is mean to them counts as some hard hitting interview, lol.
It is however, a perfect example of what an echo chamber is.

I've seen raw chicken that has been grilled more than Bercow was in this interview
As an American, I am officially adopting Bercow's "swivel-minded" adjective into my lexicon.
Swivel-eyed.
"As an American," I'm not at all surprised you misheard it.
This is just awful from LBC. O'Brien has to go.
James is a wonderful presenter.
@@axelwitsel4258 Hilarious.
They aren’t going to get rid of James O’Brien, he’s their most popular presenter! 😂
Thank you a great interview John a strong and caring person.
Ask the three women he bullied
I just popped into comment.
Two of the most dispised men in Britain.
@TittyTwister yeah I'd say so. That's probably why he's so bitter towards brexiteers.
@TittyTwisterwell he is definately provocative so that must get some publicity for lbc.
and boring
Will Gibbons you mean Gollum on his soap box , and the poison dwarf why are my wife and cousin so friendly it’s perfectly innocent, honestly 😂

Except the matter of his wife, who allegedly demeaned him, to his total delight…..🫤🫤🫤🫤🤔
Bercow did make a statement on his wife in the House of commons. This is a matter of public record.
Great interview. His impression of Maggie T was hilarious!!! 04:55
I absolutely adore John Bercow. His English is perhaps the best I've ever heard. Such a phenomenal speaker!
As an American, I know guy as the Order!!! Order!!! Guy. Wish our house and senate were as entertaining to watch as your Parliament.
That’s the only thing I know about him as well, the way he delivers “ORDER!” is next level. And I agree, Parliament sessions seem more like slam battles.
What a refreshing interview. John seems a very human person. How we miss him now!
Bay missed.
Do you like bullies
Really? Have you not read the many accusations of his bullying and which he refutes with "there's no video evidence of that" .. i guess all accusers are liars. I was really beginning to like James's strong interview style, however he is a patsy here!
Two rejects !!
This was an amazing Disclosure, the former speaker has astounding experience.
James: Oh thank you for delay brexit for as long as you did.
John: oh yes of course.
James: and here’s that unrelated suitcase of money I owe you.
John: ah thank you very much.
He is loving every minute being able to talk about himself.
James one of your best interviews ever and John bercow what a lovely man
Bully
Great interview, love them both 👏 👍 ❤️
Changed my mind about Mr. Bercow in a positive way, apart from the Tory bit.
Weird innit. It seems he should be left wing.
He defected, he’s labour now. A much missed speaker & thoroughly eloquent gentleman. Hoyle can’t hold a candle to him.
@@louiseemery9478 i agree Hoyle does nothing for me as speaker of the house
I wouldn't have Bercow in my yard as a garden gnome.
no one would nick him only kick him
He is the right size for a garden gnome
Yard?
Lefty on lefty action again.....no thanks, just came to dislike.
I love John Bercow, what a character
And a bully
And a liar…
and an obnoxious Gob $hite
Grills ?????? You mean flirts with

OMG feel sick at the sight of these two muppets. Enough is enough can’t listen to them
Just clicked on to dislike this one. Nothing he has to say interests me at all, bye !
Me too!
Me also bye bye.
@@lillylilac3831 .Count me in.
And me
Same here out before the add ends
Great interview. I don't agree with John Berkows politics but he seems a very nice man.
Brilliant interview, Get me on next!
If you are the real thing, then yes, you should go on. Then there would be three cvnts in a room that we could all ignore
Lol!
John Bercow 🤍 what a treat
James O’Brien has the look of a man whose entire world view is crumbling around him.
Is that why he seems to try to find something to eat between his toes all the time?

Limp
I’m going to be sick
I take it your from London
@@lawrencew3703 No, and it's you're*.
Ah you are probably and Austrian living in Germany then
Excellent!
An excellent Interview!
The best Speaker the House has ever had in the modern age.....history will prove this against all the small minded detractors and bigots.
I am sorry, Betty Boothroyd was the best speaker the house ever had in the modern age in my opinion
Betty Boothroyd...that is one of the most British sounding names I have ever heard
I went to woodside pk north Finchley, but not the posh grammer but the state one, same teachers though, very stuck in a time warp
More James with John please....both interesting men... Don't have to watch them individually then.
Great episodes mate!
Legend!
Love John Bercow. He is much missed as Speaker.
Openly biased though.
Like a toothache.
The Thatcher impression was so on point! 😂
Order!
True diamond
Public speaking and politics are two different things, by the way !
James should do more interviews like this
Added a dislike and left. Seriously, who's got 40 minutes to listen to this?

A truly grovelling interview by O'Brien. But then again that's what happens when you have your chief "Remain" buddy with you.
brexiteers are the most pathetic, whining "winners" in politics aside from herr trump and his gnat witted cultists.
🙄

No stone unturned! Really???
I'm a big fan of both. I love their elitism, wit and eloquence.
You sure 😀
Bercow has given me great pleasure with he's sharp wit and brilliant use of English. South African politics is rather crude and parochial
And puerile

this was great. knew very little about him outside his speaker role. I like him quite a bit.
Who was the MP now senior minister who sat and hollered?
John demands some respect!
FFS NOT MORE OF THESE TO CXXTS
Grills 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌👍
Not convinced
A brilliant of a brilliant subject
This is exactly the type of Conservative that I’d gladly share a glass of wine with.
He's Labour now
I’m going to be sick
Pathetic
Only if I've spit in their glass first
He loves tennis ? I always thought he was batting for the other side.
Thats "racketing", but Im getting your point......
one bully meets another !
Love how lefty's push their agendas ??? And these two clowns are the best .
LOL.
What's on a 'leftys agenda' then?
Because the right-wing never push their agenda?! 😂😂😂🤦🏻♂️
My father had a lovely expression 'Don't take Umbridge when high on dudgeon'

You're clueless.
It’s nice that these bullies are friends.
I thought those on the right were tougher
Can I pay for more thumbs downs?
AS O'Brien certainly knows who to cozy up to, that old saying, show me your friends and I will tell you what you are as never be so apt.
So it appears that it IS possible to be conservative and a human being with emotions. Unlikely, but possible.
Ich liebe Rammstein: Really?
The policy to sell off council housing, was first proposed by Tony Benn.
Great interview wished it was longer.
Never seen james go so easy on any guest before
Peas in a pod. Two bullies.
Bernie came so close to pulling off James’ agenda.

Is there a hairbrush shortage in Britain?
First time lbcs had a one on one interview where I hated both of them
Please come to the US and be our President, Mr. Speaker.
I miss this man. His democratic view shone out in the dark chambers. Thank you John.
Abuse of power on public desplay.
Goodbye johnny. Back under your rock

Guy is a legend
1st class interview with a 1st class subject!
I look forward to hearing from O’Brien now !
I have never heard so huge a blow hard. Not in my life. Cant wait for the 2, 000 page memoir.
But charming. He missed his calling: Restoration comedy.
Bercow give us a break and stop whinging
Never been to weston
You can tell the genuine ones from the disingenuous ones.
The same people who worship this guy call Priti Patel a bully..O Brien is definitely creaming himself here..
She was investigated and found guilty of bullying.
I dont need to watch this to know that it will NOT be a "grilling"
We need this man back in parliament !
I don’t like the captions , this wasn’t a grilling …
King of Chutzpah!
🙏🏻🌹🙏🏽
Bercow has now been rejected by Labour - what do you say to that James. His arrogance shown as Speaker was despicable.
I miss Bercow, Hoyle is terrible. I voted Brexit and still think he was far better.
In this country why does class matter ?
This guy should be Labour Leader. Starmer doesn't cut it but John would. By miles.
What about tennis? Oakleighpark club? Which nayionality? Michael Chang?
