00:02:14.240 done I don't think so let's just crack straight on with it right this show is about what's in the

00:02:20.380 corporate legacy lamestream media on any given day what's on the front pages oh and Harry get

00:02:27.340 that get that poll up if you can all right what have we got today what's that cabal of evil quite

00:02:33.020 frankly evil fleet street editors trying to tell us is or isn't important are they lying about by

00:02:37.240 omission if nothing else let's have a wee look see oh yeah okay it's a royal day what I decided

00:02:41.900 i'm gonna whip through it really quite quick one of the mild criticisms this show gets is

00:02:48.780 why are you covering slop well actually watch the show i keep it to a minimum don't i if there's

00:02:53.420 something about the beckhams or the royals or just some nonsense about about j-lo for example

00:02:59.820 i don't dwell on it do i go on and on about it at all in fact i just call it slop and move on don't

00:03:05.660 i try and keep it as i'll try keep the slop to as much as minimal as possible okay that's what the

00:03:14.060 show is is the front page of what's in the what's in the news cycle on any given day so because it's

00:03:19.420 again it's a bit of a royal day sort of like 50 60 royal day yesterday whipped through it quite

00:03:24.460 quick didn't i today similar similar so i'll go through it i'll tell you what it is so you're

00:03:30.780 aware of what it is and then just move on so hopefully i'll get through the front pages

00:03:35.340 quicker than usual and we'll talk about some other stories i'll spend slightly longer on

00:03:40.220 the history stuff or the rumble rants and super chats okay so today we've got giddy king

00:03:46.220 king charles was apparently giddy with like joy or elation when diana died according

00:03:53.260 to her brother the earl spencer that's what that means giddy king he was giddy

00:03:57.660 okay and war of words over earl spencer books so the same thing the same story

00:04:02.300 all right it starts with the star starts with the sloppiest of the sloppy serving us up a real

00:04:09.660 sloppy joe slapping it in our face jenny from h block why has jolo done something criminal don't 0.93

00:04:14.780 care okay do you remember the show prisoner cell block h about a female prison this is like in the

00:04:22.220 late 70s or certainly by the 80s wasn't it prison cell block h i never really watched it don't care

00:04:27.180 um he's australian wasn't it anyway jenny from h block like jenny from the block

00:04:33.980 prisoner cell block h you get it okay giddy feud royal feud latest giddy king elated

00:04:39.900 like lotto winner after dire death says her brother

00:04:49.500 hey look wayne rooney and his wife colleen

00:04:52.860 or does it collect no colleen they've obviously gone somewhere where you do where you do this

00:04:59.020 it's not news is it it's really not news okay most of it is the royals we'll whip through it

00:05:06.680 earl's astonishing claims alleges charles was like a lottery winner in a call after diana's death

00:05:12.380 says his sister had planned to take her own life a number of times

00:05:16.240 believes only love for her sons stopped her from ending it all war of words

00:05:21.980 Yeah they hated each other by that point

00:05:26.580 I mean even if I was

00:05:27.940 Divorced from someone and then they died

00:05:30.420 I doubt I'd be giddy about it

00:05:32.080 Depends how much you hated them

00:05:35.060 That's not my style

00:05:36.380 I can't imagine myself being giddy

00:05:38.620 Like a lottery winner

00:05:39.600 That my divorced wife had been killed

00:05:42.940 In a car crash

00:05:43.880 Some people are much

00:05:47.800 More cold hearted

00:05:50.660 Aren't they

00:05:51.980 okay let's just let's just move on the daily mail the daily mail your slop yeah they go with it as

00:05:57.460 well starting today the book so raw and revealing it sparked a bitter war of words between the king

00:06:03.320 and l spencer queen offered to restore down as hrh after she died her royal highness you know

00:06:08.800 like the formal designation as being a royal because she was she was stripped of it after

00:06:12.720 she divorced uh charles wasn't she probably the queen offered to restore it after her death okay

00:06:18.260 that's it don't care about it right the express pure slop your globalist slot charles charles

00:06:24.660 was emphatic we respect diana's memory backing for king after l spencer's claim claims he made

00:06:33.060 we'll forget her soon remark so yeah there's a bit of a backlash from pro-royal people saying no

00:06:38.740 if you were there if he was in and around charles in 1997 he was devastated by it all

00:06:44.340 And really really upset

00:06:47.380 And what Neil Spencer is saying right now

00:06:49.780 Is rings hollow

00:06:51.140 Don't care

00:06:53.360 Let Dan Wharton deal with all of that

00:06:54.660 No shade at Dan Wharton, I like Dan Wharton

00:06:56.520 The times, the venerable times

00:06:58.460 Right

00:07:00.800 Chancellor faces inflation and interest rate

00:07:03.400 Squeeze, bank warns, Bank of England

00:07:05.260 Bit of a natural story

00:07:06.540 Just basically what it says

00:07:09.520 On the tin

00:07:09.880 The Bank of England

00:07:11.780 and certainly won't lower rates.

00:07:15.580 There's stories actually from all around the world

00:07:16.840 because the Fed raised its interest rate,

00:07:19.960 base rate, whatever you want to call it,

00:07:21.820 by a quarter of a percent.

00:07:23.800 Was it yesterday or the day before?

00:07:25.660 And apparently Japan are doing the same thing,

00:07:28.700 and perhaps the European Central Bank

00:07:30.560 is looking at doing the same thing.

00:07:31.820 And anyway, the Bank of England

00:07:32.800 says they'll almost certainly have to do the same thing

00:07:36.140 relatively soon.

00:07:38.060 It's trying to deal with inflation,

00:07:39.560 but there's only so much central banks can do by lowering and raising the base rate there's only so

00:07:45.320 much that can do it doesn't it doesn't ultimately i mean the head the chairman of the fed said this

00:07:52.440 the other day ultimately it doesn't change how much like shipping costs ultimately it doesn't

00:08:00.140 change how much it costs for the producer to produce bananas or whatever it is say you live

00:08:08.440 in a country where you have to import most of your food like oh I don't know off the top of my head

00:08:11.820 Britain where we don't grow a fantastic amount of the foods actually here and if you go in a

00:08:19.680 supermarket and there's a fantastic array of food and it comes from all over the world right

00:08:24.180 lemons bananas strawberries in winter whatever it is most of the stuff in Sainsbury's or Tesco's

00:08:31.360 whatever it has to be shipped in flown in or shipped in the bank of england's base rate doesn't

00:08:40.000 doesn't really affect well it does affect work it can't really control the price of all of that

00:08:46.720 not really so okay central banks can twiddle around the edges of things

00:08:54.640 look there's kate middleton isn't she radiant radiant in brown

00:08:58.320 radiant in brown she's so gorgeous

00:09:03.600 i don't even know if i'm being sarcastic anymore i guess i guess i'm not i sort of say it

00:09:08.160 sarcastically but she is pretty uh i don't simp i just don't simp apart from for kate middleton

00:09:17.040 she's so radiant

00:09:18.000 okay charles was elated after diana dyer's died all claims all right we got it okay

00:09:27.940 archbishop strips cleric of priors over bin laden jibe what's this that's an actual story

00:09:32.460 in fact it was in one of the other the other uh yeah here we go here's a bit more

00:09:40.620 what an odd picture this is what are we looking at here what's going on here

00:09:45.280 Okay, well, this freak

00:09:50.240 This weird individual

00:09:53.720 Who looks like Tubbs from League of Gentlemen

00:09:57.080 That's actually the Archbishop of Canterbury

00:09:59.900 The head of the Anglican Church, the Church of England

00:10:03.840 The Archbishop of Canterbury

00:10:05.600 Where are they standing? They're standing in Lambeth Palace

00:10:08.480 Lambeth Palace has historically been the seat of the Archbishops of Canterbury

00:10:12.360 For centuries

00:10:13.900 yeah very very venerable place the archbishop of canterbury and who are these people don't

00:10:22.400 know who that is don't care this guy is a muslim pakistani muslim cleric it's an odd

00:10:30.100 word cleric why they always call them clerics i don't know anyway and that's his wife who's

00:10:37.220 unnamed what's this bit of paper what's going on here what's what's tubs and this terrorist 0.85

00:10:45.540 sympathizer doing oh don't oh don't shoot me for calling him a terrorist sympathizer

00:10:50.580 you can't take me to court or anything for defamation i think because it's simply a statement

00:10:54.340 of fact that's a statement of fact because that's actually what this dude is that's the story in

00:11:02.420 fact that he praised bin laden years after 9-11 uh he praised bin laden

00:11:15.060 he said 0.87

00:11:18.500 he said a number of things actually he said it was it was okay for muslim countries to butcher

00:11:23.620 nato troops what did he say a number of other things just all the things the things like that 0.94

00:11:28.420 He obviously has got his wife in some sort of niqab 0.81

00:11:33.160 Some sort of full face 0.99

00:11:34.400 Is that the actual niqab? 0.84

00:11:36.040 People always get fedora tipper about the exact type of face and head covering, don't they?

00:11:41.760 Anyway 1.00

00:11:42.020 Yeah, he's a scumbag 1.00

00:11:43.660 An actual scumbag 1.00

00:11:44.940 Anyone know Salman Rushdie? 1.00

00:11:48.820 Like, Zoomers probably don't know Salman Rushdie

00:11:51.160 Salman Rushdie was

00:11:53.640 Or he is, he's not dead actually, is he? He's not dead

00:11:55.360 He wrote a book ages ago

00:11:58.620 Was that in the 80s?

00:12:00.120 Very early 90s

00:12:00.960 I think the late 80s

00:12:01.940 He wrote a book called Satanic Verses

00:12:04.200 A novel

00:12:05.900 A novel

00:12:06.560 A work of fiction 0.76

00:12:08.200 But the Muslim world found it blasphemous

00:12:11.340 Well to them it was blasphemous 1.00

00:12:12.920 To the rest of the world

00:12:14.340 It's just a novel

00:12:15.460 It's just a work of fiction

00:12:16.480 The Satanic Verses

00:12:18.420 Where he questioned

00:12:20.980 Things about Islam

00:12:23.560 Tenets in Islam 1.00

00:12:24.860 Okay 1.00

00:12:25.660 The Islamic world 1.00

00:12:29.780 Or was it 1.00

00:12:30.120 I think it was

00:12:30.660 I think it was the mullahs of Iran actually

00:12:32.420 I might be wrong about that

00:12:34.240 I apologize if I'm wrong about that 1.00

00:12:35.120 Somewhere in the Islamic world

00:12:36.760 One of the leaders

00:12:37.800 Put a full blown fatwa on him

00:12:40.900 I.e.

00:12:42.140 It's your job as a good Muslim 1.00

00:12:43.420 To murder Salman Rushdie 1.00

00:12:45.940 If you can 0.95

00:12:46.540 And in fact

00:12:48.100 Wasn't one of his translators

00:12:49.280 Actually murdered

00:12:50.060 And Salman Rushdie

00:12:52.260 Had to live in hiding

00:12:53.160 For years

00:12:53.780 Decades

00:12:54.280 for publishing a novel

00:12:57.740 at some point in I think

00:13:00.860 like 2005 or 2007

00:13:03.500 he largely

00:13:05.580 came out of hiding by that point

00:13:06.960 and he was given

00:13:09.600 a knighthood

00:13:10.300 he was made, he is now

00:13:12.880 Sir Salman Rushdie

00:13:14.220 right

00:13:14.900 instantly

00:13:17.440 he's still alive and he's old now but instantly a few years ago

00:13:21.400 he was on a stage, I think he was in America

00:13:23.020 A picture somewhere in the United States

00:13:24.580 He was on stage at some book sign or some lecture

00:13:28.460 Some Q&A type deal

00:13:29.900 You know, there's a little audience

00:13:31.500 And two or three people on stage

00:13:33.300 And they just talk about things 1.00

00:13:34.380 Some crazy Islamist rushed on stage 1.00

00:13:38.460 And stabbed him a bunch of times 1.00

00:13:39.940 One time in the eye 0.97

00:13:41.240 And he lost an eye

00:13:43.240 Was there a

00:13:46.080 There was a picture somewhere of it

00:13:50.300 Anyway

00:13:52.540 There's a picture of Salman Rushdie with his eye patch

00:13:56.480 I guess not

00:13:57.940 Alright, so

00:13:59.000 So that's Salman Rushdie, right

00:14:01.400 This guy

00:14:02.100 This guy was so butthurt

00:14:04.940 That Salman Rushdie was made a knight of the realm

00:14:08.660 That he decided the best thing to do 0.77

00:14:11.360 Was to bestow a similar title on Osama Bin Laden 0.72

00:14:17.640 So he just unilaterally on his own

00:14:21.820 decided to say bin laden call him like the sword of islam or something like that 0.92

00:14:27.660 as well as loads of other crazy islamist um takes on all sorts of stuff okay that's who he is so 0.89

00:14:33.900 what's he doing in lamb of palace being awarded something by tubs 0.94

00:14:41.340 what's that about well what's it what it is about is that the archbishop of canterbury is a 1.00

00:14:48.060 stupid or evil person one or the other it's got to be one or the other there's no other explanation 0.99

00:14:54.380 for it either she's completely and utterly subversive she cares more about islam than 1.00

00:15:05.100 christianity it's either that or she's really dumb doesn't know what she's doing and just gets 0.99

00:15:11.820 trotted out like keir starmer or like joe biden here you go try out stand there hold this bit of 0.98

00:15:17.100 paper and she doesn't know what's going on at all it's got to be one of those two things one of

00:15:22.220 those two things oh this is an award by the way it was an award for like interfaith some sort of

00:15:30.300 nonsense interfaith award thing

00:15:35.340 him yeah this guy anyway quite a lot of people came out and said straight away like a tory mp

00:15:43.020 and all sorts of other people, people that have worked for anti-terrorist organizations

00:15:49.340 or all sorts of pro-Christian organizations, they came out straight away and they said,

00:15:53.380 what is this? What is going on?

00:15:55.820 Like, doesn't he advocate for the suppression and repression of Christians in Pakistan? 0.99

00:16:04.940 Well, he does. He does. 1.00

00:16:08.240 He's going to talk about Salman Rushdie and blasphemy, and yet in Pakistan,

00:16:11.900 if you're a christian you can get in real trouble for blasphemy but tubbs is giving him an award

00:16:20.220 in lambeth palace

00:16:22.140 all right this is the problem isn't it with sort of liberalism globalism

00:16:32.580 tolerance endless tolerance to the point of your own destruction 0.99

00:16:37.260 that's the problem with it isn't it is you end up with someone who's either evil and or retarded 0.94

00:16:45.240 giving an award to her enemy that's what you end up with don't you an absurdity like that 0.88

00:16:54.680 what is she doing what is she doing well story is now after a few people said

00:17:02.700 That's odd, why are you doing that?

00:17:05.360 Oh, she's withdrawn the award now

00:17:07.020 She's withdrawn the award

00:17:08.960 Why did you do it in the first place?

00:17:12.460 Do you not know what you're doing?

00:17:14.880 What's her name?

00:17:15.760 Mulally, isn't it?

00:17:16.980 The Archbishop of Canterbury, that's her actual name, isn't it?

00:17:19.740 Dame Sarah Mulally 1.00

00:17:21.100 Oh, you stupid love 1.00

00:17:24.180 That's a question directly to you 1.00

00:17:26.240 Of course you won't watch this

00:17:27.400 Nonetheless

00:17:28.680 Sarah

00:17:45.460 In her case, in this particular case

00:17:47.560 I feel like it's less out and out

00:17:49.540 Manivalence 0.99

00:17:51.380 And it just is being dumb 0.99

00:17:54.100 I mean look at that haircut 1.00

00:17:56.260 It's just being dumb 1.00

00:17:59.440 Or being led around 1.00

00:18:01.340 Like a Joe Biden figure

00:18:02.560 Just led around

00:18:03.720 Like the people around her

00:18:04.780 The Archbishop of Kensbury

00:18:06.020 Will have all sorts of

00:18:06.840 A team around her 1.00

00:18:07.740 A manager

00:18:08.160 A publicist

00:18:08.860 An agent

00:18:09.280 All sorts of things

00:18:10.460 All sorts of things

00:18:11.120 Even ecclesiastical

00:18:13.120 Helpers

00:18:14.340 And a team around her 0.93

00:20:28.880 old to get that one older than me even that's a reference to a James Callaghan line

00:20:33.840 anyone you ever watch state of politics

00:20:37.740 they'll know that I've been doing a Sunday afternoon series one video a week one 15 20

00:20:48.160 25 minute video a week all about um post-war british political history starting with clem

00:20:55.760 attley starting straight after world war ii when a surprise shock churchill didn't win an election

00:21:02.800 that was held straight after world war ii and clement attley for labor got in everyone thought

00:21:07.360 surely churchill will win re-election in 19 in late 1945 surely he's the great war leader

00:21:14.320 Great British public said

00:21:17.360 We're done with that

00:21:17.900 You know 0.91

00:21:18.380 Well done for winning the war

00:21:19.560 Winnie

00:21:19.840 Cheers

00:21:20.360 But we're going with

00:21:22.400 Something different now

00:21:22.960 Anyway

00:21:23.260 Starting with Clem Attlee

00:21:25.440 Done all the Prime Ministers

00:21:27.920 At the moment

00:21:29.540 We're up to Thatcher

00:21:30.340 This Sunday

00:21:32.280 There'll be a video

00:21:32.960 About the middle Thatcher years

00:21:34.460 83 to 87

00:21:35.640 The miners' strike

00:21:36.620 All that

00:21:37.060 Anyway

00:21:38.680 James Callaghan

00:21:40.420 Was the Prime Minister

00:21:41.600 Just before Thatcher

00:21:42.620 Between what like

00:21:44.260 when Wilson quit in, like, what, 76, 76?

00:21:55.720 And James Callaghan took over.

00:21:57.540 Most people don't remember.

00:21:58.600 If you're not old enough to remember him,

00:22:00.880 most people have never even heard of him, James Callaghan.

00:22:04.000 Anyway, there was a massive crisis in the country

00:22:06.180 since the end of his time as Prime Minister.

00:22:08.920 Massive crisis.

00:22:10.580 Like, the country was grinding to a halt.

00:22:14.260 like bodies were going unburied

00:22:16.260 I'm not even making it up

00:22:17.240 bodies were going unburied

00:22:19.320 that's how

00:22:19.720 that's the degree to which

00:22:21.300 the country was grinding to a halt

00:22:22.820 something approaching

00:22:26.520 systems collapse

00:22:27.740 it seemed

00:22:28.700 it felt like

00:22:29.320 anyway

00:22:30.720 at a Labour Party conference

00:22:33.160 it must have been what

00:22:34.360 1978 or 1979

00:22:35.820 James Callaghan said

00:22:38.580 and the hubris of it

00:22:40.200 he said

00:22:40.560 crisis

00:22:41.500 what crisis

00:22:43.020 there's a massive crisis jim james canahan people called him jim there is a massive crisis jim

00:22:51.840 you're going to try and pretend there isn't is that what's happening here you're just going to

00:22:56.640 try and pretend it fake it till you make it sort of thing if you just bluff it out if you just

00:23:00.420 brass it out hard enough people might buy it no one bought it there was a vote of no confidence

00:23:06.080 in his government and it collapsed and maggie got in for over 10 years off the back of that

00:23:10.180 crisis what crisis okay bit of an obscure late 1970s reference there

00:23:15.600 but that there is an element of that too is it look there's a massive crisis in the monarchy

00:23:20.960 four or five different things right from prince andrew on down all different stuff

00:23:25.960 and now the old spencer dog piling on top

00:23:29.460 we'll we'll uh we'll try out kate we'll try out radiant kate

00:23:35.820 and we'll get her looking radiant

00:23:40.080 and hopefully people won't realise

00:23:44.240 that the monarchy is in a state of crisis.

00:23:49.460 That's it, it's pretty straightforward, isn't it?

00:23:51.000 There's not much more to it than that.

00:23:52.000 Okay, The Telegraph, Daily Toregraph, 0.62

00:23:54.320 Zionist, German-owned Zionist, 0.67

00:23:57.240 anti-British nativist, slop.

00:24:01.440 Globalism.

00:24:01.880 You can't have a country 1.00

00:24:05.560 But Israelis can 1.00

00:24:06.740 That's the Daily Telegraph for you 1.00

00:24:08.220 That's who they are 0.99

00:24:09.400 Radiant Kate 1.00

00:24:11.320 They're playing a game

00:24:13.400 All a game to them isn't it

00:24:16.920 Labour's tax rate on holiday cottages

00:24:19.740 Sure why not

00:24:20.640 Yep

00:24:21.460 There's something good and wholesome

00:24:24.020 There's some sort of internal economy

00:24:25.520 The Fabians, the socialists

00:24:27.100 Want to ruin it don't they

00:24:28.340 Of course

00:24:28.780 Plan to treat tourist rentals

00:24:31.280 as second homes as far as tax are concerned would also punish pubs and small businesses yeah

00:24:36.820 it is odd isn't it well maybe it's not odd maybe it makes perfect sense when you look at it through

00:24:43.240 a certain lens it seems odd out of all the different bits of the economy the bit they

00:24:49.440 want to ring hardest ring every last drop out of crush it flat under a jackboot until the pips go

00:24:57.900 squeak will be internal tourism. The industries like restaurants, pubs, hotels, even holiday

00:25:15.360 rentals, B&Bs, all that stuff. Oh, you want to go on holiday somewhere else in the world?

00:25:21.620 No, not unless you're very, very rich

00:25:23.380 No

00:25:24.080 Well, okay, we'll take a little break in Skagness or something

00:25:28.760 No, that's going to be very, very, very expensive now

00:25:32.360 You actually have to be at least middle class to afford that

00:25:35.220 Oh, thanks

00:25:37.880 RNLI station halts rescues over migrant protest abuse

00:25:46.260 Little story

00:25:48.640 It's not quite as bad as that headline makes it sound

00:25:51.340 It was just the one in, um, Portsmouth

00:25:54.760 It was Danny Tomo and his, and his SIOP

00:25:59.520 I mean, uh, Patriot Platform

00:26:01.580 Um, caused some disruption at Portsmouth

00:26:06.040 And just that Portsmouth depot of the RNLI

00:26:09.840 Are sort of pausing their operations there for a while

00:26:12.980 To do some sort of risk assessment

00:26:14.360 That's all that is, that's all that is

00:26:15.760 Alright

00:26:20.240 All right, what else we got? The Financial Times. There's Mark Carney, globalist Mark Carney. He's really happy that Trump is slightly displeased about closer connections between Canada and Europe.

00:26:38.240 I do think it's sort of 0.98

00:26:42.040 Profoundly pathetic 0.98

00:26:43.920 To have your whole identity 1.00

00:26:47.200 Based around

00:26:48.580 Hating something else

00:26:50.600 Or someone else

00:26:51.200 Like Trump

00:26:52.700 If we can make Trump

00:26:56.920 Even remotely annoyed

00:26:58.340 For a split second

00:26:59.580 That's a win

00:27:00.380 Isn't that what his whole career

00:27:04.220 Well not his whole political career

00:27:05.380 But his current renaissance

00:27:07.220 as a leader of Canada, out of nowhere, suddenly he's the leader of Canada, okay.

00:27:14.560 And a lot of it is based around being anti-Trump. Be pro-something first, then be,

00:27:22.720 I could say that about right words or about me, but you're really anti-migration, your whole

00:27:30.820 thing's about anti-migration. No, first and foremost, I'm pro-English, and then pro-British,

00:27:36.600 And that first

00:27:37.720 A consequence of which is being

00:27:41.140 Anti-migration 0.95

00:27:42.400 Anti-third world rapists and murderers 0.62

00:27:45.600 McCartney doesn't seem like a massive Canadian patriot 0.94

00:27:49.800 Does he?

00:27:50.480 Doesn't seem like

00:27:51.120 He's not been in the public eye for years and years and years

00:27:55.500 Banging the drum about how brilliant Canada is

00:27:59.820 Particularly, is he?

00:28:01.640 When he was governor of the Bank of England

00:28:03.440 It was always just a side note

00:28:05.320 Oh, he's a Canadian person

00:28:06.500 you know like having a foreign manager of the england football team oh and by the way he isn't

00:28:12.580 actually english he's like one of those things and then finally point about him he's actually

00:28:17.300 a canadian person didn't see him banging on and on and on about canada canadian natives

00:28:27.220 canadian patriotism none of that

00:28:30.420 well there you go he's on the left so there you go bank of england warns of higher rates ahead

00:28:40.020 to tackle rising inflation you can try to tackle rising inflation sure at the expense of people

00:28:46.500 that save money at the expense of everyone else yeah this is quite an interesting story i thought

00:28:52.480 this morning turkey freezes trade liquidates funds and loosens uh lira to throttle market run

00:28:59.440 So I hadn't heard anything about this until this morning

00:29:06.560 Apparently in Turkey, their equivalent of the FTSE

00:29:12.160 Or the Dow Jones or whatever, their stock exchange

00:29:16.160 Had a massive tumble over the last day or two

00:29:20.660 Massive, massive giant sell-offs

00:29:22.380 And it's sort of almost collapsing

00:29:25.160 Or not collapsing, but just a massive turmoil on the Turkish boss

00:29:28.800 can you call it that i just did the turkish boss yeah it's in all sorts of problems and the

00:29:36.140 turkish government has had to step in to just prevent some sort of complete

00:29:42.160 implosion type event going on in turkey there you go who knew who knew that sort of thing is a worry

00:29:50.800 though because it can sometimes be a house of cards type thing one country's economy implodes

00:29:56.120 if it's big enough and important enough integrated enough into sort of global markets and then

00:30:01.100 another country like it turns out again like who knew i make i'm making the next making up the next

00:30:07.200 bit but just for as a an example maybe just maybe it turns out there's some other country that's

00:30:12.380 also reasonably important like italy or spain i am making that up but just say turns out they had

00:30:20.520 giant, giant sort of institutional level investments in Turkey. Turkey's economy collapses,

00:30:26.840 Italy's economy nearly collapses, and you get it, and the snowball, on and on and on.

00:30:32.280 It's a bit worrying. Turkey are not nobodies. It's not like Tajikistan, is it?

00:30:37.180 Turkey, it's reasonably important. Well, there you go. Watch that space, I suppose.

00:30:43.380 Oh, here's a story. We talked yesterday, didn't we? We talked yesterday about the,

00:30:49.040 Well they forced us to talk a little bit about

00:30:51.560 The Putney pusher

00:30:52.480 Someone was jogging across Putney Bridge

00:30:56.680 Years ago

00:30:57.280 Was it like 2017 0.95

00:31:00.300 And pushed some woman

00:31:03.780 Nearly under a bus

00:31:05.020 And then

00:31:07.120 All the papers were saying

00:31:08.600 It was this guy

00:31:09.480 And now he's been found dead at home

00:31:12.360 Probably suicide

00:31:13.620 Well

00:31:15.400 The story coming out now

00:31:17.520 Is that his family are saying

00:31:18.700 it wasn't him it's not even him the police accused him of it and i think perhaps he was

00:31:25.700 going to go on trial for it but they they insist it wasn't him

00:31:28.960 i suppose the cctv footage is grainy you certainly can't clearly see the person's face

00:31:36.640 so i think it's only fair to sort of bring you that because yesterday because i was only

00:31:44.200 reporting what I'd read papers did call him suspect rather than convicted like criminal

00:31:53.260 but there's a question mark over whether it's actually him at all so I think it's only fair

00:31:59.480 that I mention that and say that today it may or may not have been this dude at all but either way

00:32:05.920 is now no more all right a bit of a horrible story even more horrible than it first seemed

00:32:14.280 okay reforms millions in tax breaks for crypto investors

00:32:28.140 hmm haven't i said i won't be the only one haven't i said all along

00:32:33.120 i haven't got any real problem with crypto billionaires or anyone

00:32:38.940 giving reform loads and loads and loads of money

00:32:41.980 as long as there isn't you know some sort of obvious quid pro quo

00:32:49.700 at that point it would be

00:32:55.400 more than frustrating

00:32:58.880 at that point

00:33:02.140 it would be a real problem

00:33:05.020 i would stop giving the benefit of the doubt

00:33:10.260 i will stop saying well it is what it is

00:33:15.200 if this is true and it's not definitely 100 true at this point it is still a bit

00:33:21.700 a bit like sources suggest it may be the case that

00:33:27.320 the headline here from the independent reforms millions in tax breaks for

00:33:31.580 crypto investors farage's party to hand hundreds of millions in capital gains relief to currency

00:33:37.320 financiers including two mega donors as institute of fiscal studies says there is no feasible

00:33:44.140 rationale for policy well if that does become reforms policy and if they do win power and then

00:33:53.380 enact that policy that will be really bad that would be really well it would it would be quite

00:34:00.840 an obvious case of corruption wouldn't it there's not really any other word you could use for it at

00:34:05.320 that point and nigel claims he can't be bought even though he had a cameo account and quite

00:34:13.160 literally could be bought for like 70 quid a pop uh nigel farage says he can't be bought well if

00:34:18.440 that happens if they do capital gains things for currency financiers which directly benefits those

00:34:23.080 big donors they win power and then enact that policy well then he has been he has been bought

00:34:28.040 then if all that plays out if it hasn't yet so i'll withhold you know a rant or you know real

00:34:38.040 school if that plays out now not like reform and nigel the first politicians ever to do such a

00:34:47.240 thing of course we'll see we'll see about that we'll see about that what how this all plays out

00:34:58.040 The Institute for Fiscal Studies says there's no feasible rationale.

00:35:02.320 Well, other than corruption, other than that Ben Dello and Christopher Harbaugh and whoever else sit around a table having lunch somewhere, having dinner somewhere, going to a gentleman's club, you know, cigars and balloon glasses of brandy after dinner, sitting around in big leather armchairs, saying,

00:35:26.940 Nigel, old boy

00:35:28.900 wouldn't be terribly good enough, would you

00:35:32.860 to

00:35:33.140 posh George as the broker

00:35:36.760 wouldn't be

00:35:38.220 wouldn't be good of you, old boy

00:35:39.640 to just give us

00:35:41.760 millions of pounds worth of capital gains tax relief

00:35:44.700 if you were to find yourself in power

00:35:46.880 now just saying, well

00:35:49.880 maybe, could do

00:35:51.860 I'll probably need a bit of

00:35:53.420 probably need a bit of bunts myself

00:35:56.820 to sort of make that happen.

00:35:59.500 They're like, oh, really?

00:36:02.100 We can do that.

00:36:03.480 If we've got anything, it's loads of money.

00:36:06.060 So we can do that.

00:36:08.460 Is that what happened?

00:36:09.460 Is that what played out?

00:36:10.400 I'm only asking.

00:36:13.180 Is it a story as old as time, though?

00:36:15.100 Not that that excuses it.

00:36:17.420 Isn't that what all politicians, nearly all,

00:36:20.020 nearly all politicians do?

00:36:22.080 Things like that.

00:36:23.640 Okay, The Guardian.

00:36:24.380 Oh, look, there's Salman Rushdie with his eye patch.

00:36:26.820 When Islamist got up on stage and stabbed him in the eye, tried to murder him, 0.60

00:36:31.240 stabbed him in other places as well, but Salman Rushdie, an old man there. 0.60

00:36:37.660 When that happened, it wasn't that long ago, it was only a few years ago, was it?

00:36:40.320 Three, four years ago, I can't remember exactly, not that long ago.

00:36:42.820 He was already an old man at that point.

00:36:44.620 The factoir on him had already been issued decades before.

00:36:49.320 When that happened, was there a massive, massive outpouring of support and alarm

00:36:55.320 and things in the legacy corporate mainstream media no it wasn't exactly memory hold but nearly

00:37:01.960 they talked about a little bit for a few news cycles and then nothing

00:39:18.500 Is that all part of the PSYOP?

00:39:26.100 Who knows?

00:39:27.160 Not everything's a PSYOP

00:39:28.340 I think everything's a PSYOP

00:39:32.540 I think it's really clever

00:39:33.400 To think that everything's a PSYOP

00:39:35.180 That you know best

00:39:36.260 That you understand everything

00:39:38.420 And no one else does

00:39:39.340 Yeah, right

00:39:42.220 All right, then increasingly absurd and frustrated front pages.

00:39:47.920 There you go.

00:39:49.680 All right. 0.94

00:39:53.240 Let's quickly have a quick look at crude.

00:39:54.900 We have a look at crude most days, don't we?

00:39:56.620 I like checking in with crude on a daily basis.

00:39:59.960 Let's reload it.

00:40:00.460 What have we got?

00:40:01.200 Okay, it's down a bit from yesterday.

00:40:03.720 Rent trading at $102 a barrel.

00:40:06.400 West Texas, a shade under $100 a barrel.

00:40:09.400 It's coming down a touch.

00:40:12.220 hovering around that $100 a barrel mark

00:40:15.160 alright, shall we do our poll today

00:40:19.820 I think we did something different on our poll today, didn't we?

00:40:25.840 what did we do?

00:40:26.660 right

00:40:26.880 so, okay, so today was one of those days where

00:40:30.400 I said, let's do something just completely different

00:40:33.180 let's do something out of left field

00:40:34.660 right, I said something about Diana

00:40:37.640 let's do something completely different

00:40:40.480 so I said to Harry, little Harry

00:40:42.040 i said do something like zoomers do something zoomer give me a question that zoomers would

00:40:50.580 like or be interested in and that people that aren't zoomers might not even get do that and

00:40:55.380 we'll talk about it and he started telling me little harry started telling me something about

00:41:01.480 the zoomer thing he had and i just didn't get it and i was like okay i don't get it so do that

00:41:06.000 that's what i want and we'll talk about it and see if we can unpick it what on earth it is

00:41:10.200 So

00:41:12.560 So

00:41:17.620 I really don't get it

00:41:20.200 Alright

00:41:21.980 The question is

00:41:23.360 Who is your favourite

00:41:24.820 And then it's a bunch of

00:41:27.280 Bunch of gobbledygook words

00:41:29.920 I think that's the point though isn't it

00:41:32.120 Tongue tongue tongue sake

00:41:33.540 Is that how you say it little Harry 0.99

00:41:35.200 Tongue tongue tongue so ho

00:41:37.160 Okay 1.00

00:41:38.760 okay

00:41:40.480 Bambardino

00:41:42.640 Crocodillo 1.00

00:41:43.420 Zoomers are so dumb 1.00

00:41:47.020 Little Harry 1.00

00:41:47.940 what is it

00:41:50.380 Cappuccino Assassino

00:41:52.320 Assassino

00:41:53.380 explain to us what on

00:41:56.880 earth

00:41:57.780 that is

00:41:59.760 back when

00:42:02.960 AI image generation started

00:42:04.840 getting big

00:42:05.540 Zoomers really hated that

00:42:08.100 because it's slop so they sort of made these like so zoomers hated ai generated images yeah yeah

00:42:16.060 all right where's that i thought they would dig it the most just because it's slop it's like it

00:42:20.420 takes um but it is what it is you can make something sloppy out of it or you could make

00:42:24.220 something really cool and artistic out of it though yeah what you make of it isn't it i think

00:42:28.300 people just prefer the uh you know you get like artists and stuff fair enough no fair enough so

00:42:33.020 was like a critique of that of uh some of like the the weird esoteric facebook posts that were made

00:42:39.400 with uh ai generation they made all these like characters and and just basically poked fun at

00:42:45.620 the whole thing and it's become such a big thing that you can find these characters in like shops

00:42:51.540 and stuff they have their own trading cards now right by like tops like actual trading it's really

00:42:57.080 word right okay so i think i'm getting it that it is tongue-in-cheek it is sort of um it is

00:43:05.120 parody they're not trying to be something new and cool and interesting and sort of of value in its

00:43:10.720 own right for real it is a piss take yeah right okay okay right right mainly direct ironic they're

00:43:17.360 being ironic yeah yeah okay okay directed at like corporations using ai generation that basically

00:43:24.380 save money um which is even more ironic because now it's owned by a big corporation

00:43:32.240 classic classic of course yeah why not yeah they co-op the thing yeah okay so these are various

00:43:39.800 characters yeah like cappuccino assassino that's quite a cool sounding name if nothing else i've

00:43:48.020 never heard of any of these um they're characters ai generated characters that are a parody of ai

00:43:55.820 generated characters yeah yeah give us some images of yeah give us some images of what we're talking

00:44:00.060 about here oh yeah here we go right but they've entered the mainstream insofar as you can actually

00:44:08.920 like buy a toy of them or whatever yeah yeah right okay okay i get it

00:44:18.020 why not why not they're as good as any other sort of silly character aren't they one's a

00:44:26.980 world war ii era bomber with the crocodile as a as a as a face yeah yeah so that's bombadino 0.66

00:44:33.140 crocodilo oh that's that is that is bombadino crocodilo dillo yeah that's reasonably cool

00:44:40.340 That's cooler than a Teletubby

00:44:43.760 Who's this weird

00:44:46.220 Thing with a baseball bat 0.97

00:44:47.560 So that's Tung Tung Tung Soho 0.98

00:44:49.660 Oh that is the Tung Tung Tung

00:44:52.280 Sakhir 0.99

00:44:53.060 Triple T 1.00

00:44:54.160 Okay

00:44:55.520 It's kind of terrifying

00:44:57.560 Alright

00:45:00.060 So this was supposed to be an exercise

00:45:01.840 In finding out a little bit of something 0.96

00:45:04.280 About Zuma world 0.98

00:45:05.240 So there you go 1.00

00:45:09.140 Oh, that's a little thing that Zoomers do and are interested in. 1.00

00:45:13.900 I've literally never heard of any of this before now, so now you know. 1.00

00:45:19.860 Do you know what it makes me think of, though?

00:45:22.020 Do you know what it makes me think of?

00:45:24.000 Don't take this too hard, Harry.

00:45:25.160 It's not a pop at you at all.

00:45:26.060 Or Zoomers at all, actually. 0.86

00:45:27.420 It's not a pop at Zoomers.

00:45:27.980 But this is what it made me think of.

00:45:31.260 Most generations...

00:45:33.140 pour a bit of scorn on the younger generation coming up

00:45:39.380 that's the way it's always been

00:45:41.880 the way it's always been

00:45:43.660 going back to ancient times

00:45:45.000 you'll find old man Nestor in the Iliad

00:45:47.740 pouring scorn on the younger lads 1.00

00:45:49.760 you're all stupid and silly and frivolous 1.00

00:45:53.600 and weak and effeminate 1.00

00:45:55.260 back when I was a kid 0.96

00:45:56.940 men were men, women were women 0.99

00:45:59.580 that's in the ancient world

00:46:02.520 I think of maybe the generation that fought in World War I, or the middle-aged generation

00:46:10.900 in World War I, they saw the up-and-comers in the 20s and the 30s, and they were like,

00:46:15.000 oh, you're all weird, I don't understand you, you're all weird and different and subversive 0.99

00:46:19.640 and pathetic and stupid and weird. In the 20s and 30s. And you've got maybe the greatest 1.00

00:46:28.140 generation, generation that fought in World War II, look at the beat generation of the 0.60

00:46:31.960 1950s. You're all weird and degenerate and long-haired and stupid and you don't know 1.00

00:46:36.860 what you're doing. They look at the kids of the 60s and 70s, same thing. The boomers look 1.00

00:46:47.480 at the kids of the 1990s or the early 2000s. You're weird and lame and pathetic. Our generation 1.00

00:46:55.540 was good the way we did it was great and makes sense and our music's good and your music's

00:46:59.860 terrible same thing here somebody like me gen x or a millennial i think myself much more as gen x

00:47:08.300 although i'm technically like the youngest and millennial can be or oldest anyway anyway

00:47:13.460 my generation in mid 40s my mid 40s because no our photoshops and our ai generated stuff is good 1.00

00:47:21.240 Yours is silly and stupid. 1.00

00:47:24.460 That's the way it goes. 1.00

00:47:25.400 That's the way it's always going to be.

00:47:27.140 That's the way it's always going to be.

00:47:28.900 And the younger generation, looking to the older generation,

00:47:31.580 it's like, pipe down, old man.

00:47:33.160 You don't get it.

00:47:34.300 You can't get it.

00:47:35.520 You're not hip.

00:47:36.320 You can never be hip.

00:47:39.380 That will almost certainly always be the case.

00:47:42.960 Well, in 2026, it's Bombardino Crocodillo.

00:47:51.160 all right isn't that a bit of a harsh indictment of our society now

00:47:57.560 a little bit concerning all right let's just move on sorry do you need to tend to

00:48:07.020 should we just go straight on to on this day in history i quite like doing that bit you guys seem

00:48:11.500 to like me doing that bit on the 18th of september um the 18th of on the 18th of september down

00:48:20.120 through the centuries what happened of note let's have a little look see what have we got okay on

00:48:23.920 this day in 1811 the british east india company uh a british uh east india company force led by

00:48:31.680 baron minto conquers java right down in southeast asia uh then part of the dutch east indies

00:48:37.700 and uh stanford raffles is appointed lieutenant governor so yeah that's all part of all wrapped

00:48:43.920 up in like the Singapore story, isn't it? Well, first of all to say, 1811, what was

00:48:50.640 going on in 1811 in Europe? Anybody? What was going on with Holland and the Dutch in

00:48:54.800 1811? Anybody? Pop quiz? Well, it's the Napoleonic Wars, getting towards the end of, but the

00:49:00.800 Napoleonic Wars. So, if Britain could go around the world taking foreign possessions off

00:49:09.800 of the Napoleonic Empire, because Napoleon had conquered the Dutch. 0.65

00:49:17.380 Well, he was conquering Spain, trying to conquer Spain, the Potential War.

00:49:20.940 It wasn't going well for him by 1811.

00:49:22.560 Anyway, Britain could go around the world, because after the Battle of the Nile and Copenhagen

00:49:31.820 and Trafalgar, which was many years before this, the Royal Navy controlled the oceans.

00:49:37.500 The French Navy was not non-existent, but the back of it was completely and utterly broken.

00:49:43.400 So the British Empire was at liberty to sail around the world,

00:49:47.740 taking things effectively off of Napoleon, off of his map. 0.80

00:49:53.100 The Dutch East Indians were parts of it, Java.

00:49:56.460 Stanford Raffles was one of the guys that he founded Singapore, didn't he?

00:50:01.600 Yeah, it was just an empty peninsula when we got there, Singapore.

00:50:05.300 There was like this great city and civilisation of Singapore that the British came over and just completely conquered it and just oppressed all the people of Singapore.

00:50:14.880 No, no, there was nothing there. We created it from scratch.

00:50:20.500 Some people still argue to this day that it was evil colonialism.

00:50:23.060 Anyway, the East India Company down in Southeast Asia, Java and all of that stuff.

00:50:30.520 Okay, on this day in 1812, the Great Fire of Moscow.

00:50:46.200 It burns out after five days, destroying 75% of the city and killing 12,000 people.

00:50:53.120 Great Fire of Moscow, is that a picture of… that looks like Napoleon again.

00:50:58.920 Wait, Napoleon, with sort of the Kremlin in the background, on fire, what's going on there?

00:51:07.240 I thought Napoleon was French.

00:51:10.980 Well, Napoleon decided by 1812 that his entente with the Tsar, Tsar Alexander, couldn't stand anymore. 0.60

00:51:22.520 If he was to be truly master of Europe, there was one big, massive power still to take out Russia.

00:51:31.340 So he gathered together half a million men, maybe as much as 600,000 men, a grand army.

00:51:38.260 He called it Le Grand Dormais.

00:51:40.660 And promptly invaded Russia.

00:51:44.260 Schoolboy error. 0.77

00:51:49.120 That's one of the classic blunders.

00:51:52.520 Classic blunder, number one, never get involved in a full-blown land war in Asia, the Russian steppe 1.00

00:51:58.300 Two, never trust a Sicilian, especially when death is on the line 0.97

00:52:02.360 So Russia tries to, sorry, Napoleon tries to invade Russia 0.98

00:52:08.340 Never really meant to go as far as Moscow, apparently

00:52:12.000 He got to Smolensk, the Russians, the Tsar, just doing a tactical retreat the whole way

00:52:16.900 A fighting retreat all the way back into the endless hinterlands of Russia

00:52:21.280 a couple of big battles

00:52:23.460 one at Borodino, a big one

00:52:24.720 anyway, Napoleon just keeps going 1.00

00:52:27.320 because the Russians are not giving up 0.60

00:52:28.640 the Tsar's not giving up

00:52:29.920 gets to Smolensk, keeps going

00:52:32.180 decides, has to make a decision

00:52:34.280 are we going to go all the way to Moscow?

00:52:37.580 and he does

00:52:38.340 Napoleon and his Grand Arme

00:52:41.060 goes all the way to Moscow 0.62

00:52:42.700 they get to Moscow

00:52:44.800 and in fact the Russians themselves 0.98

00:52:46.760 burn Moscow down because it's part of their strategy

00:52:49.100 part of the Tsar's strategy 0.57

00:52:50.440 to sort of leave a scorched earth policy behind him. 0.96

00:52:53.920 There's one thing we can do, the Russians,

00:52:55.760 there's one thing we, the Russians, can do,

00:52:57.400 is try and prevent the French army from being able to forage.

00:53:01.880 Because the way Napoleon nearly always did it,

00:53:03.920 was he didn't bring loads and loads of provisions and fodder and food with him,

00:53:07.780 he just let his army steal all their food along the way.

00:53:11.740 Pillage and plunder.

00:53:12.980 Well, if there isn't much pillage and plunder and food and fodder for them,

00:53:17.080 it does mean wasting your own country 0.64

00:53:21.300 but that's what Tsar Alexander

00:53:23.180 chose to do, anyway Napoleon gets all the way

00:53:25.420 to Moscow

00:53:25.960 Tsar only burns down Moscow

00:53:29.360 to prevent it from falling 0.94

00:53:31.320 into, prevent

00:53:32.280 it from

00:53:33.860 being a help to Napoleon

00:53:37.080 Napoleon will probably have to winter

00:53:38.820 in Moscow, because it was just that 0.94

00:53:41.280 time of year

00:53:41.780 can't really winter in a city that's burnt out

00:53:45.380 75% of the buildings haven't got a roof on them or whatever

00:53:48.120 So

00:53:49.400 Harsh and brutal as it was 1.00

00:53:51.560 That's what the Russians decided to do to their own city 1.00

00:53:54.300 And 1.00

00:53:55.860 Strategically

00:53:56.920 It really did ruin Napoleon

00:53:59.000 Because Napoleon realised he had to retreat

00:54:02.060 Back to

00:54:02.740 Eastern Europe, Central Europe 1.00

00:54:05.280 And he did

00:54:07.500 And he had to do it through winter

00:54:09.260 The Russian winter 0.87

00:54:10.200 General Winter turned up

00:54:13.260 And

00:54:14.800 well long story short ultimately only a handful small percentage of all the men that entered

00:54:21.240 Russia left was it something like 40,000 odd men is it something in that ballpark ended up getting

00:54:27.800 home safe from that after out of half a million some say 400,000 some say 500,000 I've seen as 0.93

00:54:35.580 high as 600,000 and only about I think about 40,000 ever made it out so and that broke Napoleon

00:54:43.280 forever napoleon was never the same again in fact the whole next year 1813 was the opposite one long

00:54:50.320 fighting retreat of napoleon back in the end all the way back to paris and in the end the czar and

00:54:56.620 his armies got to paris watering their horses in the seine and napoleon had to abdicate that's not

00:55:05.340 the end of the story is it anyway this isn't a podcast all about napoleon if you want to know

00:55:10.180 all about that. Do you think, do you think I've got long form content behind the paywall on

00:55:18.000 lotuscees.com on my own show, my own history themed show, Bode's Epochs? It was like this

00:55:22.660 £5 a month for a team membership on lotuscees.com. You could get access to hundreds, quite literally

00:55:27.020 and without exaggeration, hundreds and hundreds of hours of history themed content by me.

00:55:31.600 Body of work built up over five years, over more than five years.

00:55:35.040 I've got a long series about Napoleon. I think it's like a nine part series.

00:55:40.180 Nine part series. Each one's like an hour, an hour and a half, two hours.

00:55:44.320 There's a small audio book worth of detail about Napoleon and his adventures.

00:55:49.020 It's not me telling you that story.

00:55:51.120 They're in conversation with Carl Benjamin, actually, as well, those ones.

00:55:53.240 They're early ones. They're early ones, they are.

00:55:55.600 Do I know all about the campaign of 1812?

00:55:59.400 Oh, I'll see it going over there, checking it out.

00:56:03.340 All right, what else have we got?

00:56:04.320 On this day in 1873, government bond agent Jay Cook and co

00:56:09.800 collapses causing panic on wall street and the start of the panic of 1873 and the long depression

00:56:15.680 on my own channel history bro there you go on that channel history bro there's no paywall there

00:56:25.020 as well everything's completely free i've got a long-form bit of content about grant ulysses s

00:56:30.060 grant i'll make it into you might have to go over to benjamin boyce's channel for that actually

00:56:35.460 i keep meaning to make it into a video and i don't think i have yet anyway on the internet

00:56:39.740 you can find a long conversation I think it's really long I think it's like three hours long

00:56:44.020 or something with me and Benjamin Boyce good old Boyce talking all about Ulysses S. Grant his early

00:56:50.560 life the civil war of course and then later his later political career becoming president

00:56:55.080 and everything else well when Ulysses S. Grant was president there was a massive financial collapse

00:57:02.480 people called it the depression right now if you say the depression

00:57:07.380 you're referring to the wall street crash of 1929 and the early 30s 1930s aren't you that's

00:57:15.340 the depression well until before that happened there was already a depression and it was this

00:57:21.680 now they call it the long depression in order to make it clear which depression you're talking

00:57:26.400 about. Yeah, in the 1870s, there was a massive, there was like a Wall Street crash type thing

00:57:32.480 happened. It wasn't quite as bad. And it sort of marred, it sort of marred Ulysses S. Grant's

00:57:41.620 presidency in some way. It wasn't his fault, Ulysses S. Grant. He hadn't personally mismanaged

00:57:46.740 things particularly. All right, there's more than one depression, Great Depression. Well,

00:57:54.960 This one, the Long Depression.

00:57:56.760 It was really bad when you look into the details of it.

00:57:58.660 The standard of living for loads and loads of Americans

00:58:00.500 went way, way, way down.

00:58:03.420 For like a whole generation or more.

00:58:06.240 All right, what else have we got here?

00:58:07.440 On this day in 1914,

00:58:08.800 Irish Home Rule Bill receives Royal Assent.

00:58:11.320 I've said it a number of times.

00:58:11.920 We've talked about this a number of times, haven't we?

00:58:13.180 I've said it before.

00:58:13.960 It's about a century too late.

00:58:15.860 More, even.

00:58:19.020 Anyway.

00:58:20.000 On this day, 1931,

00:58:21.480 the Muckden Incident,

00:58:22.900 which was to create a pretext

00:58:24.860 for Japan, for the invasion of Chinese Manchuria.

00:58:29.400 Japanese forces detonate a small quantity of dynamite

00:58:31.960 near a railway line owned by Japan's South Manchuria Railway.

00:58:36.100 Yeah, a false flag incident.

00:58:37.440 Classic example of a false flag incident. 1.00

00:58:41.100 The Japanese do something to themselves, essentially. 0.99

00:58:44.200 They go, look, look what the Chinese Manchurian terrorists have done. 0.97

00:58:47.800 We have to go to war to protect ourselves and our interests. 0.99

00:58:51.740 Might put an incident.

00:58:52.380 And some people say that, some scholars argue, that's the beginning of World War II.

00:58:59.320 Usually, classically, it's 1939 when Mr Hitler invades Poland and Britain declares war on Germany.

00:59:07.920 That's the beginning of World War II.

00:59:09.820 Well, other people, if you zoom out and look at the whole world,

00:59:13.640 say, well, in a sense, you could argue World War II had started long before 1939.

00:59:22.380 If you want to argue that.

00:59:25.340 Okay.

00:59:26.720 On this day in 1947, Central Intelligence Agency

00:59:29.060 officially comes into existence

00:59:30.560 after being established by Harry S. Truman in July.

00:59:34.960 Because before the CIA, there was the OSS,

00:59:38.320 the Office of Strategic Services, the OSS,

00:59:41.760 all through World War II.

00:59:42.700 It's not the CIA.

00:59:44.020 It's the OSS.

00:59:46.560 But after World War II, the decision was made,

00:59:50.560 It was thought that they needed something a bit better

00:59:54.560 A bit bigger

00:59:55.280 A bit more sort of formal if you like

00:59:59.500 Than the OSS

01:00:00.720 The OSS was a little bit cobbled together

01:00:04.420 A little bit out of date

01:00:06.300 They needed something bigger and better

01:00:09.840 The Central Intelligence Agency

01:00:12.820 Because before then it had all been like

01:00:15.960 Wild Bill Donovan

01:00:17.580 It was all a bit

01:00:20.560 It's all a bit cowboy stuff, the OSS, really.

01:00:23.080 It's much more romantic.

01:00:25.760 I won't say romantic, you know, espionage and murder and stuff,

01:00:28.720 but you know what I mean.

01:00:31.780 Anyway, the CIA formally starts in 1947.

01:00:35.640 Alan Dulles isn't the leader of it right away.

01:00:40.360 Anyway, on this day in 1976,

01:00:43.280 the Chinese Communist Party chairman Mao Zedong,

01:00:46.480 his funeral takes place in Beijing, China.

01:00:49.100 yeah people were really sad everyone cried everyone was forced to cry otherwise the

01:00:56.720 party might put you in a stressed position

01:00:58.480 again on my on my own channel history bro it's not behind the paywall

01:01:06.600 i've got an 18 part series about chairman mal yeah each one's like an hour long or 45 minutes

01:01:15.100 Oh no wait

01:01:15.680 I think

01:01:16.100 Each one of them is only about half hour

01:01:17.920 Maybe a bit more

01:01:19.080 So it's still like

01:01:20.180 Nine hours

01:01:20.880 Ten hours

01:01:21.560 All about Mao Zedong

01:01:23.880 Everything from his childhood

01:01:25.280 Through to his death

01:01:26.420 No paywall

01:01:28.280 If you want that

01:01:28.940 If you want me

01:01:29.460 If you want nine hours of me

01:01:30.940 Telling you about the life and times

01:01:32.760 And adventures 0.86

01:01:33.780 Of Mao Zedong 0.96

01:01:35.320 Over to history bro

01:01:39.500 It's free

01:01:40.060 Alright

01:01:42.920 What else we got

01:01:45.080 It's now time to do our Rumble Rancor Super Chats.

01:01:47.720 Is Global Church History going to be in at number one?

01:01:50.060 Do-do-do-do-do.

01:01:50.860 Do-do-do-do-do.

01:01:51.740 Do-do-do-do.

01:01:52.880 Ba-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.

01:01:59.020 Yes.

01:02:00.420 Yes, today's a good day.

01:02:02.000 Global Church History is in at number one.

01:02:04.120 That's his real name.

01:02:04.900 That's on his birth certificate and his passport.

01:02:07.120 His Christian name's Global.

01:02:08.200 His middle name is Church.

01:02:09.100 And the family name is History.

01:02:10.680 That's his real name.

01:02:12.100 He says...

01:02:13.380 He says...

01:02:15.060 today in 96 AD Nerva was made emperor oh yeah Nerva I'm a fan of Nerva he's a good one one

01:02:21.580 of the good ones he comes straight after Domitian right so Domitian was one of the terrible ones

01:02:27.060 he's the second son of Vespasian he ruled for a long time and he was a bad one Domitian he's like 0.53

01:02:32.600 Caligula Nero Caracalla he's like a tyrant murderous tyrant he turned the whole of Rome 0.63

01:02:38.980 into some sort of informal society some sort of horrible horrible thing in the end he was murdered 0.82

01:02:44.240 by his own people classic of course he was in the end though finally murdered and they got an old

01:02:50.940 man an old one of the senators who'd managed to survive the reign of domitian they got him him

01:02:57.800 in as some sort of benevolent like marcus aurelius before marcus aurelius type philosopher dude and

01:03:04.720 everything's going to be cool and good again oh that's the picture that we've got from the likes

01:03:09.540 of Tacitus

01:03:11.100 Nerva is supposed to be a good one

01:03:14.480 supposed to be like a kindly old magic grandad

01:03:17.500 type emperor, you know

01:03:18.540 Nerva, okay

01:03:21.360 second factoid from Global Church History is

01:03:24.300 on this day in 324

01:03:27.300 Emperor St. Augustine the Great

01:03:30.140 sorry, St. Constantine the Great

01:03:32.420 or just Constantine the First

01:03:33.900 the equal to the apostles

01:03:38.300 as Global Church History characterises it

01:03:42.460 defeated the evil Licinius

01:03:44.740 over the last few weeks

01:03:50.760 not the last week

01:03:52.560 because I think we had a Godfrey Bloom interview

01:03:54.240 but before that I've got like

01:03:56.220 a four, five or six part series

01:03:58.700 the most recent epochs

01:04:00.520 I think it's at least a six part series isn't it?

01:04:04.180 the most recent epochs

01:04:05.460 is all about

01:04:06.800 diocletian and the and the tetrarchy in the rule of four emperors and then constantine the great

01:04:13.320 becoming the sole emperor all on his own again defeating all comers at one point there were

01:04:20.180 six emperors six roman emperors at one point and over the course of a generation it took

01:04:25.240 20 odd years or more constantine from the extreme northwest of the roman world from britain

01:04:31.900 basically conquers everything, conquers everyone. The last one, the last big domino to fall 0.98

01:04:37.900 was the Emperor of the East, Licinius. There was one big final civil war in the Roman world

01:04:45.120 after a whole series of them of 20 years. It was Constantine versus Licinius, and at

01:04:50.480 stake was the entire Roman world. Well, of course, Constantine wins. 0.79

01:04:54.840 there you go if you want me talking about that in again sort of audiobook level detail

01:05:02.300 it's five pound a month you can get it all it's a great story it's a great great story

01:07:26.200 What is going on?

01:07:27.260 I mean, yeah, that's a good question.

01:07:28.820 What is going on?

01:07:30.800 Seems like Mark Carney just decided

01:07:33.020 he's going to do anything and everything

01:07:34.240 to annoy Donald Trump,

01:07:36.320 whether it's in the interests of Canada or not.

01:07:39.840 Seems.

01:07:42.200 Doesn't it?

01:07:43.920 maybe he's just decided for purely for political reasons he's more likely to get re-elected

01:07:52.500 if he is the the anti-trump guy even if it damages the canadian economy and stuff

01:07:59.060 canadian jobs i don't know is that the calculation he's made don't know does seem a bit odd doesn't

01:08:05.300 it all right buzz all gin buzz all gin the drink says buzz all gin says and what have we lost by

01:08:16.620 importing everything from abroad skills purposeful jobs quality of life diminished uh socializing

01:08:24.940 down the tube was it worth it or no what what mass migration and sort of globalization was it

01:08:35.000 worth it no importing everything from abroad well okay yeah there's lots of things if you want them

01:08:43.460 you would have to import from abroad though right like pineapples if you go if we're talking about

01:08:49.920 is that in reference to like you go into asda or morrison's or sainsbury's and all the food that's

01:08:57.860 there or loads of it like lychee you want to be able to go into one of those supermarkets

01:09:04.340 Yeah, is it worth it?

01:09:05.780 Yeah, not really, no.

01:09:06.900 Yeah, no, you're right.

01:09:08.700 Is it worth it?

01:09:11.780 Yeah, I could do without strawberries in the winter months.

01:09:14.500 I'm sure I'll live.

01:09:16.500 Yeah.

01:09:21.140 Do we really need, like, imported Chef Boyardee products or whatever?

01:09:27.960 Do we really need Lay's crisps from Europe?

01:09:31.040 No.

01:09:31.240 So you ask the question, was it worth it?

01:09:34.520 Yeah, no, almost certainly not

01:09:35.440 But you would have to go without, wouldn't you?

01:09:38.260 People don't like that

01:09:39.400 Lots of people don't like that

01:09:43.460 They're like, oh no, I'm used to like my imported cheese

01:09:48.140 I really like the really expensive cheese

01:09:52.040 That comes from this one place in Italy or something

01:09:54.420 I really like that really, really, really high quality lamb

01:09:59.800 That comes from Argentina

01:10:00.940 or whatever

01:10:01.920 globalism's bad

01:10:06.280 but I do like

01:10:07.060 my prosciutto

01:10:07.940 or whatever it is

01:10:09.400 yeah

01:10:09.800 that's a good question

01:10:11.560 Buzz Aldrin

01:10:12.180 you're right

01:10:12.880 okay next one

01:10:13.600 Acidhelm

01:10:14.120 says

01:10:15.260 on a more serious note

01:10:16.560 if you were PM

01:10:17.960 who from the LE

01:10:19.520 including tangentially

01:10:21.420 related people

01:10:22.360 e.g. Connor

01:10:23.360 Professor Dutton etc

01:10:24.360 would you have

01:10:25.280 in your cabinet

01:10:25.840 and in what roles

01:10:28.820 love the show

01:10:29.860 thank you sir

01:10:30.920 we've done that before we we had um we did a lads hour once where we just talked about this

01:10:36.780 a bit i think yeah we did a whole lads hour like who would who would be what

01:10:41.420 i think did we decide that like we wanted harrison pitt to be prime minister i can't

01:10:48.440 remember what we decided exactly i think i think we said harrison pitt as prime as pm

01:10:54.160 oh you're saying if i'm prime minister though okay i am prime minister god i don't know i'd

01:11:00.380 have to think about that to give like I can't just list loads of names off the top of my head

01:11:03.480 who I'd pick in cabinet I haven't thought about it that much but it's a funny and good question

01:11:07.160 maybe maybe we should do another lads hour about it where each one of us picks their own fantasy

01:11:13.200 cabinet who they would have it is an interesting one it's the sort of thing you could sit down the

01:11:18.000 pub and talk about for a whole evening isn't it what I want I would want an absolute monster of

01:11:25.240 a person to be Home Secretary. He's like one of the most badass, uncompromising people.

01:11:32.680 I would want someone with a wheel of iron and the thickest skin you can imagine

01:11:39.000 being the Home Secretary. Put them in charge of a giant program of mass remigration. 1.00

01:11:46.440 Maybe I would take that on. I'd be Prime Minister but also take on the portfolio of the Home Secretary. 0.99

01:11:51.000 sometimes prime ministers have done things like that in the past

01:11:55.500 okay i don't know good question i haven't really got time to go into that i mean i could sit here

01:12:02.460 for sort of 20 minutes just thinking and giving names then going oh no no wait i've got a better

01:12:07.040 idea i've got a better idea for foreign secretary i think i said in that lads hour that i would like

01:12:13.780 to be the foreign secretary i don't know if i really would in the real real reality of that job

01:12:17.760 I just like the idea that you get to sort of jet around the world a bit

01:12:22.060 And get treated like a foreign

01:12:24.240 You get treated like a dignitary

01:12:26.120 You get to go to the White House and be treated like royalty

01:22:35.240 Okay.

01:22:36.980 Yeah, no, our current monarchs are, well, they're the House of Hanover, aren't they?

01:22:41.620 They're the House of Hanover that were brought over in the 18th century.

01:22:45.400 So yeah, the House of Stuart

01:22:47.180 You're saying you're a descendant of the House of Stuart

01:22:50.240 Okay

01:22:52.760 Fair enough, fair enough, alright

01:22:59.040 Siglestone, again, the last one from Siglestone says

01:23:01.240 You burned part of the White House until God intervened

01:23:04.940 And scattered your army with a microburst

01:23:08.200 And given the current state of the state

01:23:12.560 We won and Canada will yet be ours

01:23:15.720 Okay

01:23:19.160 If you say so

01:23:21.300 It would be funny if

01:23:23.560 Imagine if the United States did

01:23:26.860 Actually

01:23:27.900 Invade Canada 1.00

01:23:29.780 Like Iraq 2003 style 0.98

01:23:32.800 Invasion, fully 0.99

01:23:34.560 Did away with the Canadian state

01:23:37.820 And all of that land

01:23:39.940 Was just

01:23:42.560 Well, you'd have to make new states of the United States, wouldn't you?

01:23:46.140 Go from 50 states to 60 or whatever.

01:23:49.240 70-odd, whatever it is.

01:23:53.940 Well, you guys have tried it before.

01:23:59.020 Well, the British Army wouldn't turn up this time to help them, would it?

01:24:02.220 The Royal Navy wouldn't turn up this time to help.

01:24:06.580 Okay, Merrick Mel says, 1.00

01:24:09.520 they buy industries, let's talk about Indians again, I suppose,

01:24:12.560 They buy industries because they have massive conglomerates

01:24:15.780 spanning multiple sectors.

01:24:19.200 Meanwhile, Europe keeps breaking conglomerates up.

01:24:22.520 So when one business becomes unprofitable, they need to sell.

01:24:26.240 It's a concern, isn't it? It's a worry, yeah.

01:24:27.720 It absolutely is.

01:24:30.000 It absolutely is. 1.00

01:24:32.080 Although the way Indian big conglomerates like Tata Steel

01:24:34.960 have mismanaged things so often, 1.00

01:24:36.660 I think European countries are becoming wise to it.

01:24:42.560 It's like, no, it's just not in our interest to do that.

01:24:47.800 Anyway.

01:24:48.880 And the last Rumble rant today, there was loads today.

01:24:51.240 There wasn't that many yesterday, was there?

01:24:52.300 And there's loads today.

01:24:57.860 Why would I use UK time? 0.98

01:24:59.480 It sucks. 0.96

01:25:00.040 All right. 0.99

01:37:02.520 Tatum2733 says

01:37:04.660 Bo

01:37:05.660 If the whole western world

01:37:06.900 Was in one empire

01:37:08.060 Would you run for

01:37:09.540 A senate seat?

01:37:11.060 Be a historian 1.00

01:37:11.920 A court flatterer 1.00

01:37:13.140 A writer 1.00

01:37:13.620 A news anchor

01:37:16.080 Tell me now

01:37:16.880 Well I would

01:37:20.400 I would

01:37:20.780 De facto

01:37:21.720 Without even trying

01:37:22.700 Find myself as hegemon of that whole thing

01:37:25.280 Wouldn't I

01:37:25.660 I'd almost certainly be

01:37:27.180 By popular acclaim

01:37:28.420 Be the king of it

01:37:29.240 Be the emperor of it

01:37:30.380 Wouldn't I

01:37:30.840 No I don't know

01:37:34.640 If there was a whole western world empire

01:37:36.860 Well in all honesty

01:37:38.700 I'd probably be doing what I'm doing

01:37:40.100 Wouldn't I probably

01:37:40.620 I'd be 1.00

01:37:41.580 Part of the chattering classes 1.00

01:37:44.340 I suppose 0.55

01:37:45.040 Sort of a sarcastic

01:37:48.220 Sort of

01:37:50.300 Semi-urbane

01:37:51.580 Commentator

01:37:53.620 I suppose

01:37:54.280 I suppose I'd be doing exactly what I'm doing now

01:37:59.080 Would I try and get involved

01:38:01.720 And run for a senate seat

01:38:03.040 Yeah maybe

01:38:12.120 The US tried globalism once

01:38:14.520 Didn't work

01:38:15.140 So we swapped to capitalism

01:38:16.700 I wonder what exactly he's talking about

01:38:21.360 He's talking about maybe the early 20th century mass migrations to the United States

01:38:25.280 Or late 19th century, early 20th century

01:38:28.260 Where, like, bring me your masses, that period of US migration

01:38:33.520 Is that what you mean?

01:38:37.100 Interesting comment

01:38:37.940 I'll put a bit more meat on that

01:38:40.780 I'd be interested to know exactly what you mean

01:38:42.600 I guess that's what you mean

01:38:43.700 Okay

01:38:44.380 I mean, Mr. Gently Benevolent says

01:39:22.960 If there's any place that's truly my

01:39:24.460 Where I should be, where I belong

01:39:26.340 In terms of like, ethnicity and DNA 0.94

01:39:29.060 It would be Cornwall

01:39:30.280 You've got to deport me from Wiltshire to Cornwall
