Shut up, losers. The Donald is rambling now. This week, I have once again proved why I am your all-time favorite president ever. Who cares about getting the Nobel Peace Prize for stopping 10 terrible wars? Because I actually got the more prestigious FIFA, FIFA. Peace Prize for stopping 10 terrible VARs. What an epic week it's been for the Donald. Unbelievable. First I reversed the red card from America's Bosnia game. Then I reversed the ceasefire from America's Iran game. And now it's straight to penalties and a shootout in the Strait of Hormuz. But the football red card was easy to reverse. Easy. Because the Donald's very good friends with the FIFA boss, Mr. Infantino. Infantino. I knew him when he was just a coffee.
I called him up, it was a perfect call actually because I'm an expert on soccer, or as they call it in Europe, hockey. But then Belgium, nasty Belgium, they won the game 4-1, totally rigged result. The worst steal since the 2020 election. JD Vance tells me Sleepy Joe Biden was the referee. And Crooked Hillary was on VAR. They're scum. We are now at war with Belgium. My secretary for hangovers, Pete Hegseth, has launched Operation Epic Tintin. We have proof Belgium's president, Mr. Hercule Poirot, has developed a nuclear-enriched chocolate waffle. capable of being delivered anywhere across the globe within 15 minutes. Let's find out if the Islamic State of Belgium has a soft center.
Dead ringers.
You're listening to The World at One with me, Sarah Montagu. Look, it's hot, you're working from home, but you could at least put some trousers on. Nigel Farage has stunned Westminster by standing down as MP for Clacton. Mr Farage joins me now.
No, no, no, let me resign.
Yes, yes, you have resigned, Mr Farage, but only so you can trigger a by-election at which you're going to stand.
Oh, here we go. Why must I be constantly scrutinised by you lot over every single little thing that I do?
Little thing? This is quite big news.
Ah, there we go. You had to bring my family into it, didn't you?
I didn't say anything about your family.
No, no, no. Let me wallow in victimhood. LAUGHTER You vultures in the media always go after the one thing Big Nige treasures more than anything else.
Are we back on your family again?
No, love.
How does the episode open with Trump’s mock press bragging about overturning decisions?
My money. What did it ever do wrong? That sweet, innocent money. All it ever wanted was to live away from the spotlight of constant media attention, but you lot in the mainstream media wouldn't allow it. The only people who can judge Big Nige are the good people of Clacton in this by-election.
Your £5 million donation was reported to the National Crime Agency, so I'm sure they can also... No!
Only the people of Clacton and a by-election can judge me.
I don't think that's how it works.
Well, you would say that, wouldn't you? Bloody BBC! You're blatantly biased towards Count Binface. He's on the BBC all the ruddy time, whereas I am never on it!
LAUGHTER
Mr Farage, thank you.
There you go. Bringing my family into it again for no reason, you total bastards! Hello, I'm Gary Lineker and welcome to The Rest Is Football on Netflix. And no, I can't believe that no-one's told me this goatee makes me look like I run a Bangkok ping-pong bar yet either. England are gearing up for their quarter-final showdown with Norway, and I'm delighted to be joined by the England manager, Thomas Tuchel.
Hello once more, Gary.
After that thrilling win against Mexico in the last round, I'm beginning to think this could be our year. Aren't you, Thomas?
No, Gary. The year 2026 cannot belong to us in any meaningful way unless by us you mean those who follow the Julian calendar and you are trying to distinguish us from, for example, Zoroastrians.
What I mean is your team's got a date with destiny because they've got three lions on their shirts.
