00:03:39.440 front pages the day before and the day after an england game a lot of the front pages particularly

00:03:44.080 the tabloids the sun the mirror the star it will just be football there'll be there'll be stupid

00:03:49.580 stories like some england fans were aghast at how much a burger costs or something that'll be the

00:03:56.580 front page stuff like that like they've got an octopus or a sheep to predict the results

00:04:04.560 that'll be the front page stuff like that okay okay and especially if england do well

00:04:16.160 they do do well you know get to quarter final semi-final it will be it'll be water wall but

00:04:23.660 I'll keep it to a minimum

00:04:24.340 Alright

00:04:25.200 The biggest story today is

00:04:26.980 John Healy

00:04:28.240 The Defence Secretary

00:04:29.620 Just to give you an idea of that

00:04:32.720 Oh and his second in command

00:04:35.300 The second most senior minister

00:04:36.900 At Defence

00:04:37.900 Al Cairns

00:04:40.040 Cairns

00:04:40.960 Al Cairns

00:04:41.660 Cairns

00:04:41.900 He's also quit

00:04:43.440 So there he is

00:04:44.180 In the BBC

00:04:44.940 ITV News

00:04:46.120 Channel 4

00:04:47.240 Sky

00:04:48.440 The Express

00:04:50.540 Oh no not The Express

00:04:51.420 The Sun

00:04:52.400 thanks but no tanks you know because because the word tanks and thanks rhyme thanks but no thanks

00:05:05.280 thanks but no tanks you get it you get it it's very very clever wordplay you could be forgiven

00:05:10.240 for not getting it i think you get it i can't not be sarcastic can i okay healy torpedo superior and

00:05:20.300 game on all right the telegraph the daily torograph pretty much complete

00:05:24.680 slop

00:05:27.980 still ever so slightly less sloppy than like the mirror but not far off most of

00:05:33.420 the time they're the one that goes with with the torpedo imagery

00:05:39.200 this is defense secretary again again very very clever of them right defense

00:05:47.040 Secretary quits in funding Rao and accuses PM of failing to meet moment. You have been

00:05:53.460 unable and the Treasury unwilling to commit resources we need. That's his words, of course.

00:06:00.080 Karns resigns as Armed Forces Minister, accusing Sir Keir of failing the military.

00:06:05.320 So this is just one more blow to Keir Starmer's government, obviously.

00:06:11.160 Quite a big one. I mean, arguably the biggest so far, maybe.

00:06:17.040 The most eminent

00:06:19.220 The most important ministers of state

00:06:21.340 Are the Chancellor of the Exchequer

00:06:23.280 It's fair to say

00:06:25.500 I think the Chancellor is the second most important

00:06:27.420 Person in the country politically

00:06:28.780 Let's not include the King or something

00:06:31.480 But it's the Chancellor

00:06:33.420 And then I would say the Home Secretary

00:06:35.840 Then the Foreign Secretary

00:06:38.080 Home Secretary and Foreign Secretary on a par

00:06:39.480 I would say

00:06:40.060 And then it's probably Defence

00:06:42.280 I don't know of any other

00:06:45.600 Department that's higher than Home Office, Foreign Office, the Treasury

00:06:48.460 And then it's probably Defence

00:06:51.600 Like the Health Secretary

00:06:52.940 So

00:06:54.200 Have like your fourth most powerful

00:06:59.000 Minister

00:07:00.720 Fourth most important person in government quit

00:07:03.600 And his second in command as well quit

00:07:05.700 That's bad

00:07:10.280 In normal times

00:07:11.500 That would be

00:07:15.600 it could spell the end of a government it might it could do but of course we're not in normal

00:07:20.160 times keir starmer as we know has been tottering on the brink for for ages talk about legacy i

00:07:30.320 think that's one of the things keir starmer will go down in history for being the most

00:07:33.520 unpopular prime minister of all time being a car crash of a leader being a complete weak

00:07:39.120 nothing man an empty shirt with no trousers uh just just a robot weirdo man with no vision other

00:07:48.880 than what undermines and destroy britain destroys britain fastest other than that if he has any sort

00:07:53.680 of legacy it was that he was able to teeter on the brink of a cliff for so long i think

00:08:00.480 doing that balancing act with all 10 toes over the edge of the cliff

00:08:04.480 in your center of balance just on the edge of toppling over but not for months and months and

00:08:11.920 months quite a remarkable performance really uh if no stern and burnham and his eyeliner

00:08:21.440 win that seat up in wigan and there's a leadership contest

00:08:28.400 and starmer wins that imagine that happening could happen looking less likely now

00:08:34.480 But if that happened, again, Starmer right on the precipice,

00:08:39.640 but not falling down and in.

00:08:43.760 Of course, it's a terrible thing to be remembered for, though, isn't it?

00:08:47.820 Being a failure all the way up to the very moment of collapse,

00:08:51.700 but not quite collapsing.

00:08:54.200 It's not a great thing to go down in history for, is it?

00:08:59.700 All right.

00:09:01.660 It must be horrible as well.

00:09:03.120 I mean not that I've got any sympathy for Sir Queer

00:09:05.360 He's an enemy of the people

00:09:07.260 An enemy of the state as far as I'm concerned

00:09:08.880 So I've got no sympathy for him

00:09:10.420 However it must be horrible to be in that position

00:09:12.800 Whether it's you know an actual head of government

00:09:15.080 Or whether you're just like the head of a

00:09:16.780 You're a CEO of a big business

00:09:18.540 Or even a small business

00:09:19.360 And you know that most people don't want you there

00:09:23.020 You know that everyone's sort of

00:09:25.340 Gunning for your demigres

00:09:26.820 Sort of just waiting for you to fail

00:09:29.060 And crumble entirely

00:09:30.080 Must be a horrible feeling

00:09:33.640 I've always

00:09:35.560 Whenever I've been in any sort of situation

00:09:38.340 Even remotely like that

00:09:39.700 When you know that's the case

00:09:41.360 No one wants you there

00:09:42.340 Wherever it is

00:09:43.200 Maybe you're a party or a barbecue

00:09:45.900 And you just realise most people don't like you

00:09:49.780 Or don't want you there or something

00:09:50.580 Just leave

00:09:51.060 You're in a relationship

00:09:52.640 And you know they don't really want to be with you anymore

00:09:54.560 Just leave really

00:09:57.500 Right

00:10:00.080 You work for a small company and for some reason you've alienated yourself somehow and no one wants you there, really.

00:10:06.040 Probably leave.

00:10:08.260 I don't know.

00:10:10.840 He's the type of person that would never do that, would he?

00:10:13.220 Never, ever do that.

00:10:14.640 He's like an old school red, like Ceausescu.

00:10:17.860 No, you should have to remove me, really.

00:10:20.640 I don't care how much I'm hated or failing.

00:10:23.160 That doesn't matter.

00:10:26.740 Weirdo.

00:10:27.180 Okay, so I read his letter.

00:10:30.080 Mr. Healy's letter

00:10:30.860 It was quite a long letter actually

00:10:32.020 To be honest

00:10:32.760 Sometimes resignation letters

00:10:35.660 Are very very short

00:10:36.620 Sometimes they're just one line

00:10:37.840 I no longer feel

00:10:38.940 I can continue in post

00:10:40.220 Your sincerely

00:10:41.120 Sometimes it's just that

00:10:43.300 Often it's you know

00:10:45.900 A paragraph or two

00:10:47.000 It's been an honour

00:10:48.060 To serve with you

00:10:48.940 We've achieved such great things

00:10:50.340 But because of something or other

00:10:52.320 I feel like I can no longer continue

00:10:54.680 Best wishes

00:10:55.860 This was quite long

00:10:57.140 This was like two pages

00:10:58.020 Best part of two pages

00:10:59.140 And the vast majority of it was

00:11:02.400 Not an attack

00:11:04.800 Right

00:11:05.660 The vast majority of it was

00:11:07.060 This is all the things we've achieved together

00:11:09.060 This is all the things we've achieved in two years

00:11:11.600 And

00:11:12.500 You have shown good leadership

00:11:14.880 And you have made good decisions on XYZ

00:11:16.980 Right

00:11:18.720 But then there was a few lines in there

00:11:21.000 And sort of the main one that everyone's picked out of course

00:11:23.220 Is where he says

00:11:24.560 You have been unable

00:11:26.780 And the treasury unwilling

00:11:28.160 to commit the resources we need so that's the thing they've they've done this uh sort of

00:11:35.760 strategic defense or defense review paper and it said they were going to increase spending up to

00:11:42.440 three percent of gdp which is still not enough according to trump and nato but okay i said

00:11:50.400 they'll increase it up to three percent by 2030 um and before then here's like the incremental

00:11:57.160 increases we're going to do to get there and so okay and then when it came to crunch time what

00:12:05.660 a week ago on on monday or not that long ago it came crunch time to do that and the treasury

00:12:14.180 starmer and reeves effectively sort of reneged on it basically they only increased it by

00:12:20.740 well some of the numbers i'm reading they increased it by 0.08 percent so hardly anything i don't

00:12:26.540 anything it's supposed to go up a good sort of 0.1 or 0.2 percent or something and they only put

00:12:32.120 it up by a very very very very slim margin well it seems like that was that was beyond the power

00:12:40.200 for Healy because later in the letter towards the end he just basically says I'm paraphrasing now

00:12:45.620 but he basically says I can't do my job I can't do my job you're asking me to do something

00:12:51.560 But what you're now asking me to do

00:12:56.040 Is basically put us in danger

00:12:57.460 It's not enough

00:12:59.980 You said you would do

00:13:00.900 What you said you would do

00:13:02.500 And now you're just not doing it

00:13:04.860 So okay

00:13:07.340 On face value

00:13:09.240 In the letter

00:13:11.340 It's just all about spending

00:13:13.000 And Mr Healy's ability to do his job

00:13:16.840 But there's something else going on isn't there of course

00:13:23.080 It's that by late summer

00:13:27.420 Or within

00:13:29.640 A couple of months even

00:13:32.180 Keir Starmer could be out of a job

00:13:34.480 And somebody else will be sitting in number 10

00:13:36.240 That's highly possible isn't it

00:13:39.180 And so anyone in the parliamentary Labour Party

00:13:43.220 Who's ambitious

00:13:44.060 We'll be looking at that, won't they, thinking about that

00:13:48.020 Making plans for Nigel

00:13:49.740 Not Nigel Farage

00:13:51.180 They'll be making plans, won't they

00:13:53.260 Making plans for Nigel

00:13:56.900 Young people won't know that song

00:14:00.700 So, he is obviously

00:14:05.740 There will be a calculation in there, won't there

00:14:09.540 From the Right Honourable Mr Healy

00:14:11.560 That

00:14:12.680 he wants to be able to position himself it's all about his own career

00:14:17.940 position himself so that if and when no sternum burnham becomes prime minister

00:14:23.740 he can present himself as i'm the defense guy you would imagine it might be a slightly different

00:14:29.700 but i am the defense guy i'm the best principled guy you really want me back in cabinet don't you

00:14:36.080 it will be something like that won't it all right we've done a fair few minutes on that so it's on

00:14:45.320 all the front pages but that's basically the story it is a massive blow to the prime minister's

00:14:50.520 authority that's how they always say isn't it that's how they always phrase it a blow to his

00:14:54.400 authority he hasn't got any authority again think about this think about this that giant majority

00:15:00.920 they've got i can't even remember what it is it's over 100 isn't it 100 odd majority

00:15:07.400 in the normal course of events

00:15:11.880 basically nearly every single person in that parliamentary party would be dying to be in

00:15:16.920 that government will be doing anything and everything would be ultra ultra loyal wouldn't

00:15:21.960 dream of defying the whip that's not what we've got is it that's really not what we've got i

00:15:30.040 I wonder if there's been a party with as big a majority that's so unruly.

00:15:35.380 I wonder if we've had that before.

00:15:37.040 Certainly not in my lifetime.

00:15:38.120 Probably have at some point.

00:15:39.360 Maybe in the 19th century or something.

00:15:42.720 It really shouldn't be the case when you're a powerful government.

00:15:45.580 On paper, Starmer's government is very, very, very powerful.

00:15:48.640 On paper, they should be able to do whatever they want.

00:15:51.680 Like the early Blair years.

00:15:53.200 Just de facto masters of the universe.

00:15:58.600 Right?

00:15:59.000 and so to be a part of that government you actually get to be a powerful minister

00:16:03.220 right because there's one thing to be in power isn't there to be in government there's another

00:16:07.360 thing to actually wield power unlimited power um uh people should be falling over themselves

00:16:16.620 for just the mere the merest whisper of being invited into government not resigning from it

00:16:23.600 left right and center people just resigning from it left right and center jess phillips the first

00:16:28.280 whiff of something going well i'll resign shows how weak it is doesn't it how terribly terribly

00:16:35.380 weak what a house of cards keir starmer is sitting at the top of all right should we move on a bit

00:16:43.340 let's have a look at the guardian something about 20 years of tay tay harry maybe bring yeah 20

00:16:51.380 years of tay tay don't care all right helix shock resignation leaves starmer on the brink kind of

00:16:57.640 not really he's not going to go anywhere no one's going to launch a leadership bid until the

00:17:03.300 no sternum burnham king of the north andy bumham until that's resolved

00:17:07.760 so he's not really on the the real brink brink you know like hours away from being forced out

00:17:19.120 of office or anything but in terms of his authority being eroded further well yeah absolutely apparently

00:17:26.340 they didn't really see it coming I mean some insiders had heard that John Healy was unhappy

00:17:30.620 and might be considering resigning at some point but apparently according to the Westminster people

00:17:36.200 that really keep their their ear to the ground and know all the scuttlebutton room and it goes

00:17:42.060 on on a day-to-day basis most of them didn't see this coming apparently

00:17:46.840 they're supposed to be in Swindon today I heard as well Starmer himself and John Healy were

00:17:54.980 supposed to be in swindon today launching some sort of new something to do with drones some

00:18:00.440 military thing to do with drones that might be built in swindon or something rather of course

00:18:06.460 that's all off the table now they're not doing any of that all right okay shakira it was the

00:18:14.120 opening thing of the world cup opening ceremony thing like the opening ceremony of the olympics

00:18:19.060 It's like this whole big choreographed thing of utter nonsense

00:18:24.440 I always find those things

00:18:26.120 Maybe I'm just being a bit of a Debbie Downer

00:18:30.900 A bit of an old man

00:18:31.720 A bit of a grumpy old man

00:18:32.820 But I always find those opening ceremonies

00:18:34.540 Like the opening ceremony of the Olympics

00:18:36.020 I always find them a bit grotesque really

00:18:38.140 The Super Bowl halftime show

00:18:43.860 Not to my taste

00:18:49.060 okay lots of other people seem to like it Shakira there is you know she's she's

00:18:55.160 not that young anymore is she I think she's in her 50s now all right Shakira

00:19:00.420 all right let's just move on oh the opening game was what Mexico versus

00:19:05.380 South Africa Mexico 1-2-0 right Iran strikes off again as Trump says a deal

00:19:11.480 is close uh the ongoing everything so if you remember over the last two days america has been

00:19:22.760 hitting iran because there was stuff between israel hezbollah iran attacks israel israel

00:19:30.000 attacks iran iran downed a helicopter in the u.s helicopter in the straits of hormuz

00:19:34.920 the crew were rescued uh america's striking iran iran struck like kuwait i think in bahrain or u.s

00:19:42.340 bases in kuwait and bahrain and america for two nights straight was smashing iran up a little bit

00:19:50.300 and there was going to be a third night trump says it's going to be the biggest night of all

00:19:53.400 we're going to take karg island we're actually going to take it what i don't know what was like

00:19:57.820 The Marines

00:19:59.080 The 82nd

00:20:02.180 You're finally going to send in the 82nd Airborne

00:20:04.660 And the US Marine Corps

00:20:05.700 And then he's going, oh no we're not

00:20:07.980 No we're not and there's a deal

00:20:10.280 We're going to make a deal, it's very close

00:20:11.860 He's gone back to that

00:20:12.760 Not that I'm hawkish

00:20:18.220 Not that my natural inclination

00:20:19.820 Is hawkishness

00:20:21.180 But Trump's gone back to that

00:20:24.300 Two nights of bombing and then

00:20:25.720 Oh no we're going to stop that

00:20:27.280 A deal's really close

00:20:28.560 Perhaps as close as this weekend

00:20:30.820 We're going to send J.D. France to Europe

00:20:32.820 To sign the deal with the Iranians

00:20:35.480 As early as this weekend

00:20:37.580 Maybe

00:20:37.940 What do you mean like tomorrow even

00:20:40.180 Maybe the following weekend anyway

00:20:42.180 The Iranians come out

00:20:45.400 And go no

00:20:45.880 We're nowhere near making a deal

00:20:48.760 Where was it

00:20:50.600 I think on BBC

00:20:53.040 Let's have a quick look here

00:20:54.020 yeah yeah trump claims deal to end iran war near as tehran as tehran says nothing finalized

00:21:10.540 so trump saying there's a deal again and the iranians saying not really again

00:21:15.960 a return to that

00:21:18.160 all right that tea's dead

00:21:27.700 i'll revert to my backup water again i saw someone in the chat saying why have you got

00:21:33.460 two cups of tea this is a water

00:21:36.900 my backup water all right okay so that's what's going on in persia at the moment

00:21:48.160 there's going to be a ufc event at the white house isn't there i hope i haven't got the

00:21:53.040 details wrong but they've set up like a outdoor or semi-outdoor arena like literally on the lawn

00:21:58.560 of the white house and there's going to be a ufc event there interesting to see people throwing

00:22:06.640 hands getting knocked out and choked out and there's like in the background is the white house

00:22:18.160 a little bit idiocracy isn't it i mean i've got no problem with it i think it's funny but

00:22:23.600 there's shades of idiocracy about that isn't there

00:22:26.540 anyway i like ufc so i haven't actually got a problem with that all right the daily express

00:22:33.180 oh it's a good you can read your daily express now starmer blasted for quote falling well short

00:22:42.960 quote on armed forces spending as two ministers resign prime minister's defense plans could make

00:22:49.480 us less less safe i mean could is does there you go shakira again yeah in the letter he said look

00:23:03.660 if you want to keep you want to keep uh pretending that we can defend ourselves

00:23:11.020 much less sending stuff abroad you've got to spend money on it dude

00:23:16.800 but you've committed to if and when was it like the paris agreement or something

00:23:21.900 if and when there is peace in the donbass it's got to be when hasn't it they can't

00:23:27.680 won't come forever forever ever uh when there's peace in the donbass we've committed to some

00:23:32.520 troops there loads of countries have not just us loads of countries like a peacekeeping force or

00:23:36.260 something if you want to do that or you want to keep sending men to estonia or finland or whatever

00:23:43.300 or the arctic or whatever if and when we need to send our aircraft carrier somewhere for whatever

00:23:48.500 reason if you want to do any of that if you want to actually have uh aeroplanes in the in the skies

00:23:54.620 over the north sea if you want to be able to scramble fascias it's quite straightforward if

00:23:59.600 want to be able to do anything militarily you're gonna have to spend money on it

00:24:06.960 not difficult is it the concept of it i mean it's not difficult but no

00:24:13.200 starmer and reeves are committed to spending loads and loads of money on welfare and net zero

00:24:21.440 both things that aren't in our interest the interests of the native people

00:24:29.940 are they that's a triple whammy stop spending things money on things that keep us safe

00:24:36.620 and spend that money on things that are to our detriment great

00:24:41.620 no wonder your government is a house of cards and you're the most unpopular prime minister of all

00:24:47.720 time yeah you're doing it wrong you're supposed to work in our interests and you're not doing

00:24:54.060 that are you right yeah pardon me the eye paper prime minister failing to defend nation claims

00:25:03.060 uk defense secretary quickly read the blurb we've already gone through it but this will be the last

00:25:07.620 time government loyalist resigns in despair so again there's another thing actually to mention

00:25:12.320 that john healy has been as known as something of a starmer loyalist

00:25:18.520 sort of a staunch type loyalist you would have thought he's one of those guys that would

00:25:25.380 would stand by him to the bitter bitter end

00:25:28.180 but no so maybe he does feel like really is that he can't do it maybe really really is

00:25:35.980 standing on his principles rather than just maneuvering for a burnham government it's

00:25:40.600 probably a bit of both isn't it all right John John Healy says Keir Starmer's

00:25:44.860 unable quote unable and Rachel Reeves quote unwilling to fund defense all right

00:25:49.440 we've done it we've done it let's just move on let's just move on all right The

00:25:52.780 Daily Mail pure slop wolf in the sheep's clothing pretending it's not

00:25:57.740 utter utter slop Britain left defenseless I won't even read the blurb but there you go

00:26:03.280 God help us God help us Rachel Reeves what is it about her

00:26:10.600 sort of screams ineptitude sort of screams out of her depth is it just some sort of innate

00:26:20.920 misogyny of mine i don't think it is because some women don't necessarily exude ineptitude

00:26:30.760 like that like yvette cooper doesn't or i don't feel like she does right

00:26:35.160 Olukemi Badenoch, the Nigerian woman

00:26:38.120 Doesn't necessarily

00:26:39.600 Sort of at a glance

00:26:42.800 Look, or every time you hear her

00:26:44.620 Within moments, sound

00:26:45.740 Completely inept

00:26:47.320 I'll give her that

00:26:49.820 Right

00:26:51.340 Liz Truss

00:26:54.180 Didn't

00:26:55.040 Well, actually Liz Truss did a little bit, but not too bad

00:26:57.920 Theresa May didn't, did she?

00:26:59.980 You know, Mrs Thatcher didn't

00:27:01.900 There's something about Rachel Reeves

00:27:03.580 I don't think it's just a

00:27:04.840 as i say an innate misogyny of mine i'm pretty sure it's not there's something about her that

00:27:10.440 is just obviously you're the wrong person to be chancellor of the exchequer

00:27:20.600 just some basically an idiot career politician that's been given

00:27:27.960 the keys to the kingdom the purse strings mad mad again starmer's

00:27:34.840 judgment his sort of political judgment his political acumen

00:27:41.080 terrible he hasn't got any has he really hasn't really got any all right the times the venerable

00:27:47.320 times trump scraps third night of airstrikes after iran approves deal that's what trump said

00:27:52.840 iran's approved a deal and we've just got to cross the t's dot the i's give me another couple of days

00:27:59.320 we'll send vance over we'll get it done it's all good

00:28:04.840 Iran, someone in Iran, whether you can believe them or not

00:28:07.760 Because their leadership is so unbelievably fractured

00:28:10.120 One of the, I think their foreign office spokesman on Iranian TV yesterday said

00:28:15.800 No, there's no, no

00:28:17.080 Trump's just saying that, we're not agreeing to anything

00:28:20.520 If you have a look at the price of oil though

00:28:25.300 The market's quite liked it

00:28:29.040 Look at this, West Texas, 85, just shy of $86 a barrel

00:28:34.540 Brent crude

00:28:36.320 $88 a barrel

00:28:38.300 Again, when this war started

00:28:43.600 Roughly speaking

00:28:44.360 It was about $78 a barrel

00:28:46.220 I mean, not much higher than that

00:28:49.980 Isn't it remarkable?

00:28:52.560 I even for the first time

00:28:53.860 Saw someone on TV this morning

00:28:57.240 Football Legacy Mainstream Media TV

00:28:59.180 Finally, the first person I've seen

00:29:02.720 in this whole war so far say an actual analyst person say isn't it remarkable the price of crude

00:29:09.920 is as low as it is still isn't that what i've been saying all along basically even when it was up at

00:29:16.160 like 110 115 dollars a barrel 120 dollars a barrel that's still not too bad you could have expected

00:29:25.600 it to be at all-time highs you could expect it to be 150 180 200 a barrel

00:29:35.280 in february you said the us and israel are going to go to war with iran it's going to last months

00:29:40.080 and months and months the straight-form news is going to be blockaded from both ends

00:29:45.120 what do you reckon the price of oil is going to be i'd say well probably all-time highs

00:29:49.360 nope not much higher than when the war started at this point

00:29:52.400 85 88

00:29:56.240 shame it doesn't translate into uh what we all have to pay at the pump

00:30:05.680 all right cash rail costs pm his defense ministers right yeah

00:30:12.900 shakira doing a silly choreographed dance you're a bit old for all that ain't you love

00:30:17.660 I do think choreographed dancing is silly

00:30:23.140 Again

00:30:24.280 I guess I'm just a curmudgeonly old man

00:30:26.800 At this point

00:30:27.400 You ever watch like a boy band or a girl band

00:30:30.720 Or any sort of thing where there's

00:30:32.360 Choreographed dancing

00:30:33.860 And you mute it

00:30:35.160 And just watch them

00:30:37.960 Watch the spectacle of it

00:30:39.240 You know that sort of professional dancing

00:30:42.740 Where every movement has got like a snap to it

00:30:44.800 You know

00:30:45.060 I think it's a weird

00:30:48.580 I think it's dumb

00:30:49.780 Weird and dumb and gross

00:30:51.260 People like it, don't they?

00:30:59.480 Seals clapping for it

00:31:00.940 Mexico

00:31:03.300 Because it's a go, isn't it?

00:31:09.840 Mexico

00:31:10.400 Alright

00:31:11.140 Eli Leeds, Ministry of Defence Mutiny

00:31:14.540 thanks but no tanks yeah brilliant brilliant

00:31:20.340 Shakira again and Burner Boy

00:31:25.040 Burner Boy really I've never heard of Burner Boy

00:31:32.520 Harry Harry as a zoomer as a bona fide a real life zoomer

00:31:37.040 yeah have you ever heard of Burner Boy is he super famous

00:31:40.460 no no no you've never you've never heard of him

00:31:44.700 no okay okay it's not just me then so again when you see something like the uh the super

00:31:51.340 bell halftime show or something or other and they'll get some some black rapper dude

00:31:56.940 i will never have heard of them now that may be like jay-z i've heard of jay-z you know right okay

00:32:03.500 often it'll be someone like this a little something like lil burner boy something like no

00:32:10.700 oh no boy okay good one good one end game nears for starma as ministers quit over forces clash

00:32:25.220 end game nears i mean nothing's going to profoundly change in terms of government

00:32:30.740 until the bum ham affair has been resolved

00:32:35.820 I would have thought

00:32:39.400 Streeting

00:32:40.060 Streeting's not gonna

00:32:41.220 It's not gonna do anything

00:32:43.580 He hasn't got the testicular

00:32:47.540 Fultitude to go out on his own

00:32:49.840 He hasn't got the numbers

00:32:51.500 I would have thought

00:32:51.940 Otherwise he would have done it by now

00:32:53.000 He would have thought

00:32:54.420 Alright the metro

00:32:55.220 Metro

00:32:58.420 Gross

00:33:02.220 As World Cup begins

00:33:06.880 PM's tactics under fire

00:33:09.080 Our defence is in crisis

00:33:12.260 Alright, you've got it

00:33:13.220 You understand

00:33:14.100 The Financial Times

00:33:15.040 Are we going to get a bit of Elon and SpaceX?

00:33:18.180 No?

00:33:18.860 Alright, well that's one of the other big stories

00:33:20.160 I'll talk about it in a moment

00:33:21.020 Again, that opening ceremony

00:33:23.640 Absurd

00:33:24.740 Absurd and grotesque a bit, I think

00:33:27.000 These things

00:33:28.480 Alright

00:33:32.060 heliquids over defense budget right gold hit six six month low it's at all-time highs

00:33:40.700 broadly speaking but for the six months low as investors are spoilt for choice on next big thing

00:33:47.000 that's at least alluding to the fact that spacex the ipo the initial public offering of spacex

00:33:54.220 is going out there

00:33:55.740 do you want stocks in spacex do you want to buy a piece of elon musk

00:34:05.300 well you shall be able to 135 bucks a share it's going to cost you

00:34:10.760 apparently um i believe again apologies if i get any of this wrong but i believe

00:34:16.680 um the ipo was like a fixed price they don't usually do that they usually throw it out on

00:34:23.380 the market and the market dictates what it's worth but i guess elon personally decided i don't know

00:34:29.700 i guess to put it at a fixed price 135 dollars um because it's such a great piece of like

00:34:38.140 immediately blue chip isn't it immediately obviously somewhere 80 of everything the

00:34:43.140 us puts into albeit it's done by spacex right and spacex also like elon musk's ai stuff actually

00:34:51.660 Comes under the umbrella of SpaceX as well now

00:34:53.800 Do you remember that, when you did that?

00:34:55.400 So, it's not just space

00:34:56.860 It's also AI, all in one

00:34:59.180 They've got giant contracts, SpaceX

00:35:03.240 With the US government

00:35:05.480 Giant, as I say

00:35:06.500 The vast majority of everything they put into orbit is SpaceX now

00:35:09.760 It was sort of a bit too big to fail

00:35:12.960 If somehow it was starting to fail

00:35:14.720 You can only imagine the US government would bail it out and stuff

00:35:21.660 um so do you want a piece of that action do you think that's a good investment and you diamond

00:35:29.180 hands it hold on to it forever nearly probably yeah seems like a no-brainer right a bit

00:35:36.000 all the institutional investors right not just normal people like you or i have got a little

00:35:41.660 bit of money to play with institutional if you know if you run a fund like run a jp morgan fund

00:35:48.440 Goldman Sachs fund

00:35:49.440 Barclays Bank

00:35:50.520 Whatever

00:35:50.900 BlackRock

00:35:52.260 Jupiter

00:35:53.640 You run a fund

00:35:56.220 Or a hedge fund

00:35:57.180 Or whatever

00:35:58.060 Pension fund

00:35:59.020 You're like

00:36:00.100 We need a bit of that

00:36:01.020 In our fund

00:36:01.620 We need a bit of that

00:36:02.840 That's as good as gold

00:36:05.400 You say look

00:36:06.320 People are fleeing gold

00:36:07.480 To buy

00:36:08.000 Well

00:36:09.000 SpaceX

00:36:11.660 It's as good

00:36:13.980 If not better than gold

00:36:15.180 Like a sure

00:36:16.140 Almost like a sure thing

00:36:17.740 all right 135 bucks there you go all right the star the joy of mechs

00:36:25.440 a pun on the joy of sex

00:36:27.920 what's the joy of sex got to do with football but okay they've done a very very clever bit

00:36:35.940 of wordplay there joy of mechs

00:36:38.020 the Shakira there all right

00:36:42.500 and they're the front pages there you go they're the front pages for today

00:36:46.780 should we do our

00:36:49.860 poll

00:36:51.800 we usually have a quick look at our poll at this point in the

00:36:53.880 show don't we

00:36:54.900 what did we do, oh it's a football thing

00:36:57.700 I'll keep it quick, I'll keep it quick, I know you guys don't like it

00:36:59.980 can England

00:37:03.760 win the world cup, not will they, can they

00:37:06.040 we gave you the options of yes

00:37:07.880 no don't care, the don't cares have it

00:37:10.080 so that's the second or is it even the third time

00:37:14.020 I've gone out to the

00:37:15.760 glorious band the chosen few to ask you do you care about football or even any sort of sport

00:37:20.580 really and you've resoundingly come back with a no so don't care wins in 47 nearly half just don't

00:37:28.460 care um okay it's not as bad as i thought actually when i first instructed harry to do that this

00:37:34.320 morning i thought it might come back like 80 don't care still 40 47 don't care no 34 percent

00:37:45.760 not will they can they and only 19% say yes

00:37:53.040 well the correct answer is yes i'm not saying will they they probably won't can they yeah they can

00:37:59.580 i think they're third favorite spain france england in that order right and then the rest like all

00:38:08.060 the classic ones. Netherlands, Portugal, Brazil, Argentina, Germany. Italy didn't qualify.

00:38:22.580 I think England are third favourite, so they certainly can win it. Here's my prediction.

00:38:27.380 It's the last I'll talk about football this morning. Here's my prediction.

00:38:33.220 England get to the quarterfinal, possibly the semi-final, play someone really good,

00:38:37.960 Like Argentina or Portugal and lose

00:38:39.900 That's my prediction

00:38:42.560 Why do I think that?

00:38:47.080 Because that's what always happens

00:38:48.720 Maybe get knocked out in the second round

00:38:52.560 Play someone really good in the second round

00:38:53.960 Like Brazil or Germany

00:38:54.900 And lose

00:38:57.000 That's what always happens

00:39:00.400 Okay let's have a quick look at our

00:39:02.100 Any of the other websites

00:39:04.300 Oh there was something on Daily Mail

00:39:06.000 I thought was interesting

00:39:07.020 Oh yeah, a hit piece on Rupert and Restore

00:39:09.580 Classic

00:39:11.820 It's afraid

00:39:13.280 It's afraid

00:39:15.720 Guy Adams is afraid

00:39:18.680 Guy Adams got the memo

00:39:20.580 He got a call on the blower from the editors

00:39:23.400 Attack, Restore

00:39:25.900 Rupert and Restore are not in the club

00:39:30.040 They haven't signed off on the WEF blob

00:39:32.880 They haven't signed off on the insane globalist project

00:39:37.300 To destroy the country

00:39:38.380 So they must be attacked from a wag

00:39:41.680 Classic one

00:39:42.500 Classic one, just splitting the vote

00:39:44.500 Bringing up anything

00:39:47.240 Literally just a list

00:39:48.460 It's quite a long article, relatively long article

00:39:50.220 Just bring up every little thing

00:39:51.400 Steve Laws

00:39:52.080 Mention Steve Laws in there

00:39:53.860 Yeah

00:39:54.660 Mention John Terry

00:39:56.880 John Terry was once accused of racism

00:40:01.120 And he liked a Rupert tweet once

00:40:03.260 You know, stuff like that

00:40:04.400 Just the whole nine yards

00:40:05.200 Whole nine yards

00:40:06.580 There's one bit that's funny

00:40:10.940 The team, Restore

00:40:12.940 The Restore team

00:40:13.860 Some of whom are said to affectionately refer to their boss

00:40:16.960 As Grandpa Simpson

00:40:18.260 All I'll say is

00:40:25.560 Right, I'm not in the party of course

00:40:27.680 Not beyond being a member

00:40:28.900 I'm a fully paid up member

00:40:30.400 Beyond that, I've got no capacity whatsoever for a store

00:40:34.140 But am, of course, friends with nearly everyone in it

00:40:39.360 Know them, right?

00:40:40.920 I've had Lewis and Charlie on the show

00:40:42.500 Hopefully getting Harrison in next week

00:40:44.000 Harrison Pitt

00:40:44.700 Yeah?

00:40:46.440 Had Charlie on a couple of times

00:40:47.360 Had Rupa on, didn't I?

00:40:49.400 We interviewed Mr Logue himself on Breakfast with Beau, didn't we?

00:40:55.680 Right?

00:40:56.160 So I have never once heard anyone call him Grandpa Simpson

00:41:01.200 Not once

00:41:02.520 That's the God's honest truth

00:41:04.020 I've never, ever, ever heard that

00:41:05.540 It's weird what the tabloids, what the corporate mainstream media just make up

00:41:10.280 Just conjure out of thin air

00:41:13.860 Grandpa Simpson, okay

00:41:19.360 Alright

00:41:20.340 Yeah, and they'll just bemoaned that he's got a big online following

00:41:25.020 But it's got 800,000 plus on X

00:41:27.540 90,000 on TikTok

00:41:29.300 That they're able to raise half a million quid

00:41:36.780 I didn't actually know that

00:41:37.620 Able to raise half a million quid in crowdfunding

00:41:40.180 For the grooming gang appeal

00:41:41.440 Somehow bad

00:41:43.920 Whoever wrote this

00:41:45.680 Whoever

00:41:46.080 Cretin

00:41:47.280 Whoever globalist shill wrote this

00:41:49.440 Guy Adams

00:41:50.200 Okay Guy

00:41:51.300 Okay yeah

00:41:52.600 You keep doing the bidding of your evil overlords

00:41:57.000 Good job

00:41:57.920 Just anything

00:41:59.060 Just anything

00:42:00.020 Like you once told Isabel Oakeshott to piss off

00:42:03.620 Just nonsense

00:42:08.000 Just nonsense

00:42:08.840 Alright, there you go

00:42:11.280 Thought I'd bring that to you

00:42:12.400 It doesn't stick

00:42:14.260 It really doesn't stick anymore

00:42:15.620 You're anti-Semitic

00:42:18.360 You're racist

00:42:19.540 Steve Laws

00:42:20.740 It's all just to do with egos and vindictiveness

00:42:26.360 And

00:42:26.740 No one cares

00:42:30.240 We want our country back

00:42:31.360 He's a politician and a party

00:42:34.820 That is talking about that millions must go

00:42:36.740 If millions need to go, they need to go

00:42:38.440 Talking about yesterday, just yesterday tweeting about

00:42:43.100 How those that are responsible

00:42:46.920 For flooding us with foreign barbarians

00:42:49.400 Will need to be held to account

00:42:51.080 Put on trial

00:42:51.900 That's the sort of thing

00:42:53.760 A lot of people in this country want

00:42:55.920 That's the sort of thing

00:42:56.800 That half the electorate that don't vote

00:42:58.600 That are so disenfranchised

00:43:00.020 So disenchanted

00:43:01.800 That's the sort of thing they want to hear

00:43:03.740 Right

00:43:05.600 Not just more weak-wristed

00:43:09.000 Containment globalist nonsense

00:43:11.140 From Nigel

00:43:12.640 Like you can't alienate Islam

00:43:14.540 That he doesn't care about demographic change

00:43:16.900 Right

00:43:19.400 He's not even a populist

00:43:20.900 All that stuff

00:43:21.780 Not interested in that

00:43:23.860 We want a leader that's going to save us

00:43:25.600 From a sectarian nightmare

00:43:27.260 Right

00:43:29.360 So you can throw all

00:43:30.460 You can sling all the crap at us you want

00:43:33.640 And none of it's going to stick in

00:43:35.840 In fact if anything

00:43:36.840 It'll just serve as a Streisand effect

00:43:38.500 Because we want our country back

00:43:41.740 And at the moment Rupert Lowe is the only

00:43:43.420 Reasonable realistic option for that

00:43:49.400 i don't care about splitting the vote in in makerfield or anywhere don't care about that

00:43:55.520 no we're going to vote for what we want we've had generations of don't split the vote don't let the

00:44:01.400 other side win you've got to vote for something you don't actually want that won't actually act

00:44:04.840 in your interest because you can't let the other side win that's marginally worse no we're done

00:44:08.600 with that no no no that paradigm left us where we are staring down the barrel of a sectarian

00:44:16.680 nightmare no we're going to vote for and if it means what burnham gets in at the expense of

00:44:21.300 robert kenyon so yeah i don't care about keir starmer's career oh we're supposed to help keir

00:44:27.820 starmer's career somehow we're supposed to help nigel farage's dreams of going to number 10 no

00:44:34.940 i don't think so no no no i'm going to vote for a party that's got policies that will try

00:44:38.940 that are in our interest the only party out there realistic party that's got the nativist

00:44:46.580 interests at heart yeah i'm going to vote for that and come what may

00:44:51.460 we'll die now on reformers tears if need be

00:44:56.420 okay

00:45:00.740 okay let's do on this day in history i like that bit you guys seem to like that bit

00:45:05.620 down through the centuries on this day the 12th of june what happened of note

00:45:08.740 on this day in 1770 a patent for the spinning jenny the first multiple spinning machine

00:45:16.860 that revolutionizes cotton spinning is granted to english weaver james hargreaves yeah

00:45:21.400 anyone who doesn't know you know cotton grows in a field a bit of cotton on top of a stalk

00:45:28.460 basically it always used to be you had to hand pick and there's little bits in it

00:45:32.920 little like seeds or whatever in it little bits or even insects or anything

00:45:37.480 you had to by hand someone had to sort of tease it out

00:45:40.720 until it's just perfect just just the cotton and then spin it into make it into threads and so on

00:45:50.920 and so on and that had to be done by hand and it was relatively slow and the the textile industry

00:45:58.640 Were massive

00:46:00.560 Still are to this day

00:46:01.520 Textile industry

00:46:02.360 Giant, giant thing

00:46:03.680 Well

00:46:04.860 Someone

00:46:06.160 Not someone

00:46:06.620 James Hargreaves

00:46:07.700 Invented the spinning journey

00:46:09.000 Just a machine

00:46:09.760 Very, very simple mechanism

00:46:12.600 A machine

00:46:13.180 Where you can put multiple

00:46:14.400 Like spools of cotton

00:46:16.640 On this thing

00:46:17.860 And a big wheel

00:46:18.440 And one person operating this machine

00:46:20.760 Can just

00:46:22.300 Tease out the pure cotton

00:46:24.060 Many, many, many times

00:46:26.840 Orders of magnitude faster

00:46:28.420 than one person doing it i completely revolutionized that

00:46:32.260 might not sound like much why am i going on and on and on about that well

00:46:38.380 it was it was a big deal it really really was a big deal

00:46:42.320 lots of people out of jobs for example also revolution you know we're in the industrial

00:46:50.520 revolution people are thinking oh that's a good idea that worked insanely well what other things

00:46:58.400 could we do where at the moment it's just a hand-made bespoke one-off thing

00:47:06.800 whatever it is like making bottles or something

00:47:10.800 it's one artisan making something can we make some sort of machine or mechanism

00:47:16.780 that can just make loads of them way more quicker

00:47:20.500 something people thinking

00:47:24.660 mass production of things of everything that's one of the things i think is interesting to note

00:47:32.740 that in our modern world nearly everything around you and i do mean that nearly everything you see

00:47:40.000 in your house right now is mass produced it's rare that you've got a one-off handmade bespoke

00:47:47.600 piece of artisan thing you might have one piece of objet dar in your home like a piece of art maybe

00:47:54.960 nearly everything else everything you see imagine a world before that imagine a world where

00:48:02.960 it's the exact opposite everything you use and see is a one-off handmade artisan thing

00:48:09.840 what a different world it is right really different world okay the spinning jenny plays a big part

00:48:16.080 in all of that i'll move on on this day in 1830 beginning uh beginning the french colonization of

00:48:24.240 algeria that wasn't good 34 000 french soldiers land 27 kilometers west of algiers at sidi farouche

00:48:37.040 yeah the french adventure in algeria

00:48:40.080 not good i mean it's a very very long story very long story can't get into it here and now

00:48:48.560 everything from annexing it saying that that bit of land is actually part of france

00:48:53.840 it's as much like a department of france as anything else to getting completely kicked out

00:49:01.160 like a disastrous utter failure in the end of a colonial project

00:49:06.720 For France

00:49:08.440 Such a long saga

00:49:10.220 Can't go into it here

00:49:11.300 But okay

00:49:12.380 On this day in 1830 it begins

00:49:14.380 Alright

00:49:16.560 On this day in 1864

00:49:20.280 The Battle of Trevelyan Station

00:49:22.720 The bloodiest and largest all-cavalry battle

00:49:25.840 Of the American Civil War

00:49:27.040 Ends with a confederate tactical victory

00:49:29.360 And a Union successful retreat

00:49:32.180 In Louisa County, Virginia

00:49:34.420 so that's right near the end of the war isn't it 1864

00:49:39.440 i've heard of this one before but i must admit i don't know about it in great detail i'm i'm a

00:49:45.420 i'm a big fan weird thing to say weird way to phrase it but i'm a big fan of the american

00:49:49.480 civil war i've read loads and loads about it over the years my first ever ever ever video

00:49:54.840 on history bro was all about the civil war um but this will be this will be right near the end isn't

00:50:03.760 it um but an all cavalry battle interesting interesting not usual not common kind of ever

00:50:13.940 let alone in the 1860s but okay the confederate cavalry did usually show more dash and elan

00:50:25.260 in the face of the enemy didn't they usually didn't really have much other choice

00:50:30.100 The confederates are

00:50:32.880 Sort of had to rely on

00:50:35.400 Dash and Elan

00:50:36.900 Because they didn't have the resources

00:50:39.560 And men

00:50:40.160 That the union had

00:50:42.740 They just didn't

00:50:43.900 By 1864

00:50:44.960 They're being starved and blockaded into submission

00:50:48.460 Or is it June 1864

00:50:51.440 It's right near the end isn't it

00:50:53.240 Like it's not long before

00:50:56.940 Richmond falls

00:50:58.060 The writing had been on the wall for a while for the confederacy by that point

00:51:03.560 Alright, on this day in 1931

00:51:06.120 Al Capone is indicted on 5,000 counts of prohibition violations and perjury

00:51:11.540 Al Capone

00:51:16.280 I know to some he's like a folk hero or whatever you think he's cool

00:51:19.600 I think he's a complete scumbag

00:51:20.960 Complete murdering scumbag

00:51:23.600 Hate, I kind of hate Al Capone

00:51:25.480 All these gangsters, I mean hate

00:51:27.220 they are sort of romantic not in the carnal sense they are romantic figures aren't they

00:51:32.400 very very interesting i made some content about lucky luciano with connor once

00:51:36.700 talking all about the early mafia going back to the moustache pete's the 19th century ones

00:51:42.520 um they are interesting i don't put these people on the pedestal yeah they sent him to prison in

00:51:48.260 the end got him on famously on um tax violations like oh they can't really prove they couldn't

00:51:53.820 really prove that he was like ordering people to be murdered and things which of course he was

00:52:00.220 they could sort of show prove that how come you've got untold millions of dollars

00:52:05.740 alfonso capone how come where does that come from

00:52:12.140 and if nothing else shouldn't you have paid like income tax on that you haven't paid income tax

00:52:18.780 Right, off to Alcatraz you go

00:52:20.320 There's actually multiple, multiple trials

00:52:23.040 The story of Alcatraz is interesting

00:52:25.260 Alright

00:52:25.920 On this day in 1942, Dutch schoolgirl Anne Frank receives her diary as a birthday present in Amsterdam

00:52:31.760 Yeah, her and her father wrote in that diary

00:52:35.480 Okay

00:52:37.880 On this day in 1964, Nelson Mandela is sentenced to life in prison for sabotage in South Africa

00:52:44.800 Sabotage

00:52:45.560 Sabotage

00:52:47.140 That's what you're going to call it

00:52:50.860 That's the thing

00:52:52.580 Nelson Mandela

00:52:53.180 There's a statue of Nelson Mandela

00:52:54.560 In Parliament Square in England

00:52:56.540 Why?

00:52:57.740 He's a terrorist

00:52:58.340 The man was a terrorist

00:53:00.060 He went to

00:53:01.200 He's sentenced to 27 years

00:53:02.780 For sabotage

00:53:04.180 Yeah?

00:53:05.280 Okay

00:53:05.660 That's how you're going to characterise

00:53:07.520 Being the head of a murderous paramilitary

00:53:10.840 Blowing people up

00:53:17.140 Along racial and ethnic lines

00:53:21.320 Blowing white people up

00:53:22.480 Blowing white people up

00:53:24.640 All white malls in South Africa

00:53:28.060 Go and blow women and kids up

00:53:30.560 Nelson Mandela

00:53:32.360 Poor Nelson Mandela was in prison for 27 years

00:53:34.940 He deserved the death penalty probably

00:53:36.580 Why did they put poor, innocent, brilliant

00:53:40.340 Done nothing wrong Nelson Mandela in prison for 27 years

00:53:43.860 Free Nelson Mandela

00:53:45.280 No, he was the head of a violent, bloody paramilitary

00:53:50.260 On this day in 1991, Boris Yeltsin wins Russia's first presidential election

00:53:58.680 With 57% of the vote

00:54:00.760 Interesting, Boris Yeltsin

00:54:03.140 He's quite an interesting man

00:54:05.340 If it wasn't for him

00:54:08.980 Well, Gorbachev

00:54:10.760 But even more Yeltsin, really

00:54:12.360 If it wasn't for him

00:54:13.760 Perhaps the Soviet project would have

00:54:16.020 Lingered on longer than it did

00:54:18.020 Of course a terrible alcoholic as well

00:54:24.420 But an interesting, quite funny character

00:54:27.380 Quite a funny man

00:54:28.120 Okay, on this day in 2018

00:54:30.060 The Singapore summit between North Korea leader Kim Jong-un

00:54:33.240 And US President Donald Trump

00:54:34.880 The first time a North Korean leader and a sitting US President meet

00:54:38.680 Yeah, that was interesting, wasn't it?

00:54:41.900 I remember when all that was happening

00:54:43.080 i was watching that very closely very very interesting to me um when they both threatened

00:54:48.520 vaguely to nuke each other i mean not quite but i think trump called him when there's like a battle

00:54:55.560 of words trump called him like a like i'll send that little fat man back to the stone age or

00:55:03.200 something something like i can't remember you know what trump's like he's like oh he's got a button

00:55:08.760 has he the nuclear button nuclear button oh he's got a nuclear button has he well so have i mine's

00:55:14.200 bigger classic they did meet didn't they there and they did shake hands and one way or another

00:55:23.460 it does feel like doesn't it does seem that trump managed to sort of defuse kim jong-un to some

00:55:29.960 degree like the north queens don't seem to be crazily belligerent do they at this point in time

00:55:37.260 They're not constantly threatening

00:55:40.420 To nuke Tokyo or Seoul

00:55:41.980 Are they

00:55:42.680 I still think it's a

00:55:48.420 Disgusting throwback to North Korea

00:55:50.140 A disgusting

00:55:52.160 Pimple on the face

00:55:54.260 Of human civilisation

00:55:55.420 Kim Jong-un himself

00:55:58.240 A revolting

00:55:59.980 A revolting piece

00:56:02.340 Of

00:56:02.620 Human detritus

00:56:05.600 A gross weirdo freak

00:56:08.120 1950s throwback

00:56:09.680 Degenerate monster

00:56:12.220 Have I said too much? Have I gone too far?

00:56:19.080 Alright

00:56:19.560 Alright, let's do our Rumble Rants and Super Chats

00:56:22.080 It's about that time of the show, shall we?

00:56:25.340 Do you reckon

00:56:26.100 Global Church History is in at number one?

00:56:28.600 It usually is, isn't it? A couple of factoids

00:56:30.240 Let's have a quick look

00:56:32.580 Let's have a look here, what have we got?

00:56:34.840 Yes, it's a good day.

00:56:35.660 Global Church History, number one.

00:56:37.340 Reigning, defending, and still.

00:56:44.960 Global Church History.

00:56:45.820 He says, on this day in 1442, the crown of Aragon took the kingdom of Naples.

00:56:52.120 Right, yeah, so what's that?

00:56:53.480 Oh, God.

00:56:55.020 One of the Alfonso's, won't it be?

00:56:57.340 What, Alfonso V, if memory serves?

00:57:00.000 And remember the Kingdom of Naples

00:57:01.960 Is half of Italy

00:57:04.140 It's not just the city of Naples

00:57:06.320 And the immediate environs

00:57:08.460 The Kingdom of Naples is

00:57:10.340 Everything from Naples

00:57:12.080 Down of Italy

00:57:13.860 I mean the southern half of Italy is

00:57:15.620 Even to this day, but certainly back then

00:57:18.120 Was much more

00:57:18.940 Rural, much more

00:57:22.200 The industries and big cities

00:57:26.640 Are all in the centre and north of Italy

00:57:28.280 Nonetheless, the Kingdom of Naples was much more than just like Naples

00:57:32.200 The Kingdom of Naples controlled

00:57:34.180 I'm not sure if at that point they controlled Corsica and Sardinia

00:57:38.020 But it's no small thing for the crown of Aragon

00:57:41.140 Spain

00:57:43.660 Not quite Spain, but nearly

00:57:47.440 Okay, okay, that happened in 1442 on this day

00:57:51.160 And on this day in 1665

00:57:52.560 New Amsterdam became New York

00:57:54.960 Right, 1665, so this will be

00:57:58.060 The Anglo-Dutch Wars

00:58:01.240 Old days

00:58:10.500 I've got a really long

00:58:12.580 Form piece of content

00:58:13.440 All about the Anglo-Dutch Wars

00:58:14.740 There were three

00:58:15.420 Arguably four

00:58:16.320 In the 17th century

00:58:17.980 Largely naval engagements

00:58:19.380 Between the Dutch

00:58:21.200 And the

00:58:22.240 The English

00:58:24.660 As well as still the English

00:58:26.460 At that point

00:58:26.960 Not British and English

00:58:27.820 And when those wars

00:58:32.620 It was a bit of a back and forth

00:58:34.100 They won some, we won some

00:58:35.240 I don't think the New York thing

00:58:39.820 Was actually directly part of those wars

00:58:43.000 But it was during that time

00:58:44.080 It was during that period

00:58:44.960 I believe we took it off them

00:58:46.980 Not sort of bloodlessly

00:58:47.980 It was a Dutch colony

00:58:50.880 You know, at the mouth of the Hudson

00:58:53.420 And New Amsterdam

00:58:55.360 And we, one of our captains

00:58:57.700 Turned up with a flotilla

00:58:58.980 And we were like

00:59:00.920 This is ours now

00:59:02.040 Thank you very much

00:59:03.320 I think it was

00:59:04.120 Memory serves

00:59:06.020 It was briefly taken back by the Dutch

00:59:08.680 At some point in the 1670s

00:59:11.940 I believe

00:59:14.580 But then at the end of one of the wars

00:59:16.240 We had with them

00:59:17.060 In the narrow seas

00:59:18.860 In the North Sea

00:59:20.880 They had to cede it back to us again

00:59:24.060 and then we didn't lose it until 1776 or later actually i believe the very very last garrison

00:59:32.400 of british troops in the new world was on manhattan island i think if i got these details

00:59:39.240 wrong i think if memory serves this is all just from memory i think the very last british troops

00:59:44.120 didn't leave manhattan until like the 1780s at some point okay there you go all right interesting

00:59:53.760 alright what else have we got

00:59:55.480 Matthew C

00:59:56.080 super fans have shown

00:59:56.780 how are you Matthew

00:59:57.460 hope you're good

00:59:58.540 you say

00:59:59.060 best thing about the World Cup

01:00:00.640 is knowing that

01:00:01.320 by the time the next one

01:00:02.340 rolls round

01:00:03.460 Rupert Lowe will be

01:00:04.500 Prime Minister

01:00:05.040 aim high

01:00:07.740 vote low

01:00:08.060 millions must go

01:00:08.700 from zoomers to boomers

01:00:09.540 mass deportations

01:00:10.980 will be underway

01:00:11.640 and the death penalty

01:00:12.880 will be back

01:00:13.560 fingers crossed

01:00:14.860 fingers crossed

01:00:16.200 yeah

01:00:16.580 for all those things

01:00:17.820 absolutely

01:00:18.600 absolutely

01:00:20.200 Luke Street 91

01:00:23.560 St Luke

01:00:25.660 It's Luke Stewart

01:00:27.920 Says

01:00:28.220 G'day Bo

01:00:28.780 G'day mate

01:00:29.440 Oh yeah

01:00:30.500 How good

01:00:31.000 G'day Bo

01:00:32.380 And everyone

01:00:34.960 Hope you're doing well

01:00:36.060 Much prefer the AFL Aussie rules

01:00:38.460 To soccer

01:00:39.000 And too bad

01:00:40.480 Queer Starmer

01:00:41.260 Didn't actually get hit

01:00:42.800 By a torpedo

01:00:43.500 YouTube wouldn't let me send this

01:00:45.660 So that's a rumble rant

01:00:46.860 He says rumble rant

01:00:47.580 Can't condone the idea of

01:00:52.420 Keir Starmer getting hit by a torpedo

01:00:55.600 Prank caller, prank caller

01:01:00.120 So you're talking about

01:01:04.580 You prefer Aussie rules football to soccer

01:01:07.240 Don't agree

01:01:11.800 But

01:01:12.160 For me, Aussie rules football is like

01:01:16.920 Rugby or the NFL

01:01:19.340 Insofar as

01:01:20.460 i don't mind watching compilations of like that season's hardest hits or hockey ice hockey

01:01:29.620 actually i do quite like american football i do watch a bit of american football when it's on

01:01:35.080 to be quite honest i don't mind it uh but aussie rules football the classic one guy jumps in the

01:01:40.940 air and the other guy knocks his legs out um from under him while he's while he's in the air

01:01:44.920 Condemning him to land on his own head

01:01:47.660 Possibly get knocked out

01:01:49.300 Do a tackle that's a little bit higher by accident

01:01:53.340 And actually you're just elbowing him in the face

01:01:55.920 I was thinking rules football is pretty brutal isn't it?

01:02:01.280 Yeah

01:02:01.440 Okay

01:02:02.100 So if you get on the next few are all Luke

01:02:04.900 So I'll whip through them if you don't mind

01:02:07.480 It's already gone nine

01:02:08.200 You say

01:02:08.760 I saw a clip and apparently one

01:02:10.600 And apparently one way they had been cooking the numbers

01:02:13.520 for this percentage is they also include pensions for veterans welfare not military hardware and new

01:02:20.020 troops question mark yeah they cook the numbers on everything on everything there's new government

01:02:25.820 figures about unemployment about welfare about the nhs about the military they would have been

01:02:31.620 cooked and manipulated and measured in all sorts of very very very specific ways to try and make

01:02:36.700 it seem as best possible for the government and in fact the real reality like immigration or something

01:02:41.140 The real reality of it is much worse

01:02:43.260 They just decided that they won't count this

01:02:47.780 Or they will count that

01:02:49.620 It's all spin

01:02:52.040 It's all spin

01:02:53.160 You also say

01:02:54.960 Can we just nuke them and be done with it?

01:02:57.840 I don't know who you're talking about perhaps

01:02:58.940 Iran

01:02:59.640 The World Cup opening ceremony

01:03:04.380 It worked when they had to deal with Japan

01:03:08.880 I guess you are talking about Iran

01:03:10.120 who knows maybe the maybe the iran might have their own version of hello kitty and anime if

01:03:17.940 we drop a couple of nukes on them um i don't advise dropping nukes on almost entirely innocent

01:03:30.460 civilians japan in world war ii was a very just a very different thing to iran isn't it

01:03:40.060 It's just a whole different context

01:03:42.180 It's not great to incinerate

01:03:47.320 100,000 people in an instant

01:03:48.940 Is it?

01:03:49.560 When most of them are

01:03:50.500 A lot of them are women and children

01:03:52.060 Most of them are completely innocent

01:03:54.380 Especially if the government

01:03:56.900 The Iranian government

01:03:58.240 The IRGC

01:03:59.320 Might not even surrender then

01:04:02.560 Right?

01:04:05.960 Japan didn't immediately surrender

01:04:07.900 After the first nuke

01:04:08.920 in fact after the second nuke didn't immediately surrender

01:04:11.740 the government wasn't going to surrender

01:04:14.300 it took the intervention finally of the emperor

01:04:16.460 to say enough is enough

01:04:18.320 maybe drop a nuke on like an empty bit of desert

01:04:30.320 just as like a warning to show the

01:04:32.420 it's not a good idea

01:04:37.100 it's a Pandora's box isn't it

01:04:38.420 once you start using even tactical nukes.

01:04:44.280 The Chinese or the Russians might feel like,

01:04:47.440 oh, that's a thing now.

01:04:50.440 We can start dropping tactical nukes.

01:04:53.940 Can we?

01:04:56.320 Slippery slope.

01:04:57.340 All right, next one you say,

01:04:58.600 to be honest, if he just lets us buy the odd rocket,

01:05:02.640 oh, I guess you're talking about Elon Musk and SpaceX,

01:05:05.780 we can have our own space program,

01:05:08.420 anywhere rather than spending billions on developing the same thing everyone else has

01:05:12.860 just everyone else has just get a working rocket okay i get the sentiment of what you're saying

01:05:18.800 there yeah i wonder if britain could buy a sort of uh the way we buy a trident off of the united

01:05:26.140 states we just buy a space program off of elon like you're mass producing those engines

01:05:33.060 and the fuselage you're already mass producing them can we buy them

01:05:40.220 yeah why not we were going to have a space program or the beginnings of one under boris johnson they

01:05:46.820 were very very seriously looking at making a space pool in cornwall it was going to be i believe

01:05:51.300 and then they realized oh no we just haven't got the money for that effectively

01:05:57.000 very very expensive a space program even in this modern age where someone at SpaceX can do it for

01:06:04.200 a fraction of the old prices still extremely expensive okay pigdog5150 says we only want

01:06:15.980 what's best for him Nigel just needs this helping hand what exactly is that in reference to we only

01:06:25.340 want what's best for him, Nigel just needs this helping hand. What's best for him? Are

01:06:33.200 you talking about Nigel or Rupert? Okay, sorry, I'm afraid I'm not entirely clear exactly

01:06:42.900 what you're referring to. Okay, Luke again, the next few are all Luke again, coming in

01:06:48.600 saying, or make it to the finals, I guess to England in football, but instead of having

01:06:53.720 A component white player

01:06:57.120 Scored the winning goal

01:06:58.180 They decide to do the whole

01:07:00.980 Diversity is our strength crap

01:07:02.520 And puts a shitty brown player in

01:07:05.100 And misses

01:07:05.820 At the last big tournament

01:07:11.400 For some reason

01:07:13.640 Gareth Southgate decided to put in

01:07:15.500 A black penalty taker

01:07:17.880 Who isn't a natural penalty taker

01:07:19.400 And he missed didn't he

01:07:20.120 Or more than one of them

01:07:20.880 Okay

01:07:22.600 Okay, Luke again

01:07:25.240 I keep thinking the quote everyone's being saying

01:07:28.240 After the Henry Novak, you're a racist

01:07:30.100 Don't think so, mate

01:07:31.340 Yeah

01:07:31.980 Yeah, don't think so, mate

01:07:36.520 We've got to use that a bit more

01:07:37.720 Trump called him Rocket Man

01:07:41.280 You've just said that, that's the next one

01:07:43.040 What, Elon Musk, Rocket Man

01:07:44.600 Oh no, no, no, Kim Il-Yung

01:07:46.640 Kim Il-Yung, didn't he, called him Rocket Man, that's right

01:07:48.620 Rocket Man

01:07:51.840 a rugged man all right busted brian says even old new york was once new amsterdam

01:08:03.840 why they changed it i can't say people just liked it better that way

01:08:08.160 new york new york so good they named it twice and the final rumble rant luke says that's why i love

01:08:15.980 Aussie rules for the hits

01:08:18.000 Soccer they tap each other

01:08:19.820 And they have a big cry about it

01:08:21.640 Yeah

01:08:21.800 Aussie rules is pretty

01:08:25.060 Funny when you see Americans and they watch

01:08:27.840 Rugby or Aussie rules for the first time

01:08:29.960 They're like what they're not even wearing

01:08:31.320 Crash helmets

01:08:32.420 What they're doing the hits that are basically

01:08:35.560 Almost as hard as American football but they're not wearing

01:08:37.780 Body armour and crash helmets

01:08:39.560 But yeah

01:08:42.420 Yeah

01:08:43.060 Yeah

01:08:44.360 Yeah

01:08:45.860 Like this season's

01:08:47.480 Like knockouts

01:08:48.820 From Aussie rules

01:08:49.880 If someone gets smashed so hard

01:08:51.840 They're actually completely unconscious

01:08:52.940 Complation

01:13:14.480 but the small number that do worth it it's worth it okay um

01:13:22.320 shona again something wickedly says maybe we should bring the middle east here question mark

01:13:29.920 yeah let's not let's not do that yeah kick you in the throat that's their name

01:14:08.040 Cheers, cheers

01:14:08.920 Tatum says

01:14:13.720 It's so humiliating having Trump as Prez

01:14:18.220 Not my words

01:14:19.720 All the MAGA crew out there

01:14:21.220 You say anything against Trump

01:14:23.860 And you're suffering from insane TDS

01:14:25.900 Trump bashing, these aren't my words

01:14:27.820 Blame Tatum

01:14:29.420 Tatum says

01:14:32.880 It's so humiliating having Trump as Prez

01:14:35.720 i'd love having low here he's totally betrayed us standard of limit of living plummeting

01:14:43.120 and he says he doesn't care

01:14:46.780 i did see i did see i've seen once or twice um where the first time was a couple of weeks ago

01:14:56.100 maybe a month ago or so someone asked trump about the price of petrol at the pump for the average

01:15:01.720 person and he said i don't care about that he did say that he just said i don't care i care about the

01:15:07.320 fact iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon okay that is important isn't it that iran doesn't get a

01:15:14.060 nuclear weapon yeah it's certainly more but it's not really politic is it it's not good optics

01:15:18.560 it's not a good sound bite say i don't care about the price of petrol well i think just the other

01:15:23.840 day i think just yesterday or maybe two days ago or so someone asked him about inflation and he

01:15:29.740 said something really odd. Like, I love inflation or something. He said something like that.

01:15:36.680 Okay. I do know lots of people. There's still lots and lots of pro-Trump people, lots and

01:15:40.960 lots of pro-Mega people, but increasingly more people who were pro-Mega, who were pro-Trump,

01:15:50.220 have decided they don't like him as much. They feel betrayed by him in various ways,

01:15:56.620 exactly as Tatum says there

01:15:58.540 he's totally betrayed us

01:16:01.100 you say

01:16:01.980 yeah

01:16:04.580 in a number of

01:16:07.020 couple of ways sure

01:16:08.380 okay kick you in the throat again says

01:16:30.060 Who's that?

01:16:31.500 That rings a vague bell

01:16:32.680 I'm sorry

01:16:37.260 That only rings a vague bell

01:16:38.400 I probably should know about that

01:16:39.440 In much much more detail

01:16:40.860 But

01:16:41.160 Sounds dodgy doesn't it

01:16:44.380 Okay

01:16:46.260 Shona again says

01:16:48.140 I've heard of Dean Martin

01:16:51.100 That's it

01:16:51.780 The Rat Pack

01:16:53.620 What is that in reference to

01:16:54.860 I don't know what that's in reference to

01:16:57.520 I've heard of Dean Martin

01:17:00.260 That's it

01:17:00.820 Was I talking about the Rat Pack or something

01:17:03.200 Again I feel like I'm being dumb

01:17:04.860 It's kind of obvious what you're talking about there

01:17:06.380 But I don't know

01:17:07.240 Okay

01:17:08.100 Got to whip through

01:17:09.320 There's still quite a few to go

01:17:10.200 I'm going to whip through them a bit faster I'm afraid

01:17:11.720 If I don't immediately get it

01:17:13.700 What anyone's saying

01:17:14.400 I'm just going to move on I'm afraid

01:17:32.540 Yeah

01:17:32.680 We've got a fair few players who are

01:17:35.720 Of ethnically African origin, haven't we?

01:17:39.360 Shona again says

01:17:40.180 RFC only team not to take the knee

01:18:16.040 yeah absolutely yeah he's talking the language of a lot of people who are completely disenfranchised

01:18:22.180 don't think any of the other main globalist containment wef uni party parties including

01:18:30.040 reform but none of those speak for them even remotely they've got no faith that they will do

01:18:37.280 What's in our interest

01:18:38.880 And Rupert is

01:18:40.800 Okay

01:18:42.640 Shawnee C says

01:18:44.280 I like your little beard

01:18:46.960 Oh thank you

01:18:47.940 Does need a bit of a trim

01:18:50.740 That definitely needs a bit of a trim

01:18:52.740 Thank you

01:18:54.480 Thank you

01:18:56.480 Little

01:18:58.700 It could be bigger I suppose

01:19:01.140 It's not bad

01:19:04.720 I give it a 6

01:19:05.580 It's not brilliant

01:19:07.840 Lewis Brackpool's beard is much much better than mine

01:19:10.660 I'm jealous of his beard

01:19:13.260 It's a 6

01:19:14.620 It's not so bad that

01:19:16.060 People immediately at a glance

01:19:18.580 Would say

01:19:19.100 Why are you trying to grow a beard dude

01:19:21.740 You can't grow a beard

01:19:22.720 Have a shave

01:19:23.300 So

01:19:23.900 If it's not in that category

01:19:27.460 I'll take it

01:19:28.980 Alright

01:19:30.260 Getting a little bit Uncle Albert though isn't it

01:19:32.500 A little bit unruly

01:19:33.320 Should have a trim

01:19:34.480 Thank you though nonetheless

01:19:35.480 That's enough talking about me.

01:19:37.020 It's so vain.

01:19:39.040 Stop being so vain, Bo.

01:19:40.600 It's not all about you.

01:19:45.480 It is.

01:19:46.080 It's a one-man show.

01:19:46.820 It is all about me.

01:19:47.820 OK.

01:19:50.120 RestoreMaxer69.

01:19:51.260 Great.

01:19:51.660 It says, I also like your little beard.

01:19:58.420 I accept compliments here at the Bo Show.

01:20:01.980 I'm a man who knows how to accept compliments.

01:20:05.480 Kick you in the throat again says

01:20:07.040 Black historical revisionists

01:20:09.300 Will be glad to tell you

01:20:10.740 That the spinning jenny

01:20:12.000 1754

01:20:12.820 Was helpless until

01:20:16.320 Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin

01:20:18.440 1793

01:20:19.700 And then a laughing smiley face

01:20:22.000 Yeah

01:20:23.000 Yeah classic

01:20:25.500 Black revisionist historians

01:20:29.380 They just do do that don't they

01:20:31.300 They invented everything

01:20:32.480 The computer

01:20:34.720 okay Erwin Romero said I used to watch football in the 90s gave up on it when the amateur

01:20:44.600 dramatics took over it's unsportsmanlike and womanish do you ever watch the rugger

01:20:50.260 that's rugby um no very rarely occasionally again if the rugby world cup comes around

01:20:57.120 and England are in the later stages of it I watch it but just normal run-of-the-mill club

01:21:02.080 national level rugby not really not really sometimes but not i certainly don't want to

01:21:08.900 follow it yeah football is much more womanish than it used to be sometimes you look back and

01:21:14.640 you look at old matches from the 80s or before look at matches from the 60s and 70s like when

01:21:20.000 bobby moore and um jeff hurst and um um just look at a football match from the 70s

01:21:28.420 And they are smashing into each other

01:21:31.540 And the ref just lets it go on

01:21:32.740 No, that's no foul

01:21:34.000 You've absolutely booted him in the air

01:21:36.380 Got nowhere near the ball

01:21:37.540 Sliding tackle from behind

01:21:39.200 Almost crippled the dude

01:21:40.720 Play on

01:21:41.180 Not only is that not a red card or a yellow card

01:21:45.080 It's not even a foul

01:21:45.900 Carry on

01:21:46.660 And now the tiniest thing

01:21:49.560 Honestly, the tiniest thing

01:21:50.820 Is a foul

01:21:52.140 Yeah, I mean, you're not wrong

01:21:55.500 You're not wrong

01:21:56.600 Alright

01:21:58.000 see george best people try and destroy george best from doing a brilliant

01:22:04.840 a brilliant run a brilliant bit of dribbling and they're just trying to break his legs basically

01:22:11.980 play on play on all right anyway you don't you guys don't like football mostly so i'll carry on

01:22:16.900 tux034 says bo i'm concerned about your lack of tea to get you through the show

01:22:22.640 here's some money to buy a thermos mug to keep the whistle wet and the tea warm

01:22:27.960 oh thank you very much appreciate it appreciate that super chat that's what

01:22:30.840 karl does that's what a couple of people do they've got they come in with a cup of tea

01:22:33.800 and a thermos flask full of tea so when they finish their first cup

01:22:39.560 the thing that ever so slightly annoys me is that on air with the mics on you're like pouring it out

01:22:47.720 and you can hear like the the trickle dribble sound i know it's not a big deal but

01:22:53.880 It's alright, one cup of tea and a cup of water pretty much suffices me perfectly

01:23:00.020 I've considered the idea of buying, somehow getting a proper china or porcelain teapot

01:23:09.660 And a proper porcelain cup and saucer

01:23:14.900 And having a teapot, brewing a whole pot of tea before the show starts

01:23:20.880 And then when I finish my first cup

01:23:22.900 Pour another one

01:23:24.820 It's a bit more classy isn't it

01:23:26.000 An actual proper porcelain teapot

01:23:28.300 Probably won't do either of those things anyway

01:23:32.760 Okay

01:23:33.780 Solis Seraphis

01:23:36.960 Says

01:23:38.260 SpaceX

01:23:40.640 SpaceX based

01:23:43.340 SpaceX based

01:23:45.480 At

01:23:46.220 Saxavord

01:23:48.820 Question mark

01:23:49.860 I don't know what you're talking about.

01:23:52.660 Saxavord.

01:23:53.100 Is that a place in Scandinavia?

01:23:56.000 I don't know.

01:23:57.660 Thanks for the super chat, though.

01:23:59.100 But I don't know exactly what you mean.

01:24:03.100 Saxavord.

01:24:03.740 Okay.

01:24:07.480 BrutLife2314 says,

01:24:09.720 A lack of Belfast in the headlines this morning.

01:24:12.540 Yeah, that's interesting, isn't it?

01:24:14.160 Yeah, very interesting.

01:24:17.520 That cabal of evil Fleet Street editors.

01:24:19.160 hey guys we've decided the calculation is just squash the belfast stuff just don't talk about

01:24:26.700 just a hundred percent lie about it by omission it's all that's just not a thing now starve it

01:24:32.840 of oxygen yeah good yeah all right and the last few here oh three more and they're all from tatum

01:24:43.680 says this back and forth on the war huge insider trading hmm that's cynical of you to say and yet

01:24:54.040 and yet are you wrong

01:24:59.540 probably not almost certainly not twitter again says deported barely more people than obama he

01:25:12.480 liars. Oh, you're talking about, yeah, the Bannon wing of MAGA, of which if I was actually

01:25:19.760 a United States citizen and lived in America, I would be on, I would certainly be on the

01:25:24.380 right of the MAGA movement. Even Bannon isn't good enough for me, isn't hard enough for

01:25:29.000 me. Not particularly happy with how many Trump has deported. He's done very well on

01:25:37.800 the southern border in terms of stopping the bleeding, hasn't he? Very, very few people

01:25:41.760 cross that southern border at the moment, he asked for deporting millions and millions

01:25:46.480 and millions that have entered illegally during the Biden years and before, he hasn't done

01:25:51.940 as much as many would have hoped, including you, I'm sure, Tatum. Deported barely more

01:25:58.620 people than Obama. Okay, next one. Regardless, aim high, vote low, cheering from here. Thank

01:26:09.520 you thank you yes Rupert Rupert he's our man if he can't do it no one can okay

01:26:15.980 and one more just popped in there just now from Solis Seraphis again says

01:26:22.940 Saxavard is a radar station and launch site in Scott in Scotland oh okay okay

01:26:30.400 well cool that would be cool yeah imagine if we did a deal with Elon say

01:26:34.540 we the British government did a deal with Elon it's like here's enough money

01:26:39.520 Just build us a space program in Scotland.

01:26:44.120 There's an old radar station up in Scotland.

01:26:47.660 That's yours, go.

01:26:48.880 Here's a few billion.

01:26:52.700 Make that happen.

01:26:54.800 That would be great.

01:26:55.440 I'd love it.

01:26:56.160 Love it.

01:26:57.820 And one last rumble rant that's just come in.

01:27:00.720 Luke again.

01:27:01.500 I think it's...
