00:01:46.360 little pop at china you might have noticed i've said just explicitly a number of times i think

00:01:50.900 the ccp is uh one of the most evil cabals in the whole world by quite a long way

00:01:55.800 absolutely our enemy not just britain but like the uk or in fact anyone that isn't communist

00:02:03.820 we're only going to get a little bit of pushback or something like that someone on twitter or

00:02:09.040 i think there's one time a super chat actually someone said i can't remember who it was or

00:02:12.340 anything but they say something like why are you worried about that like how do they affect me how

00:02:17.700 They affect my life

00:02:18.640 Get some perspective

00:02:22.840 Why are you having a problem with the Chinese

00:02:25.900 They're not the enemy

00:02:26.700 Get real

00:02:29.660 Honestly, get a clue

00:02:33.420 Of course they are

00:02:42.300 Okay, the times

00:02:43.680 The times goes with

00:02:45.300 We'll get into all of those things

00:02:46.220 We'll get into

00:02:46.940 all the different elements about China stealing loads and loads and loads of data there's a story

00:02:53.220 in in the United States today as well about AI theft Chinese stealing AI related things

00:03:02.960 this story is to do with British people's DNA we'll get into it all right on the top of the

00:03:09.080 times it says swearing at civil servants simply isn't me insists McSweeney if you remember the

00:03:15.160 other day when sir ollie robbins ramona shill that he is ollie robbins said before the select

00:03:22.320 committee emily thornberry's select committee said that he was told to just effing get it done

00:03:29.340 in regards to mandelson's vetting sweeney says that doesn't sound like me

00:03:37.500 i don't do that i don't i don't swear at civil servants

00:03:45.160 yeah right well i don't know one way or another i wasn't there but i don't believe it i don't

00:03:52.500 believe that i'm just a good boy it's sort of that it's that job as well that he was doing

00:03:56.940 chief of staff at number 10 if there is someone that would act like malcolm tucker if you don't

00:04:03.140 remember malcolm tucker the character just a politico who's who bullies his way around

00:04:08.460 westminster and whitehall being ridiculously aggressive and swearing at everyone a comedy

00:04:13.740 figure

00:04:14.760 from a comedy show

00:04:18.000 what was it

00:04:18.320 The Thick of It

00:04:19.500 was it The Thick of It

00:04:21.580 or the other one

00:04:22.240 anyway

00:04:23.120 Malcolm

00:04:24.580 that's the sort of person

00:04:25.860 that would do it

00:04:26.240 Malcolm McSweeney

00:04:27.680 or the

00:04:28.660 you know

00:04:29.060 like the

00:04:29.440 head of communications

00:04:30.720 the chief of staff

00:04:31.560 at number 10

00:04:32.020 all those

00:04:32.500 all those types of people

00:04:34.260 Alistair Campbell type people

00:04:36.100 Jonathan Powell type people

00:04:38.060 if anyone's going to

00:04:39.020 sort of

00:04:39.880 go mad

00:04:40.380 and raise their voice

00:04:41.160 and or swear

00:04:41.840 at senior civil servants

00:04:43.040 It's exactly that type of person

00:04:44.460 Whether Morgan McSweeney is really nice and polite

00:04:48.000 At all times during his professional career

00:04:50.560 Who knows

00:04:51.960 I doubt it would just be the easiest thing in the world

00:04:54.380 Wouldn't it for him to just say

00:04:55.420 Oh I don't recall ever saying that

00:04:58.740 I don't recall ever swearing at people

00:05:01.280 Plus also

00:05:03.640 As I said yesterday if you remember

00:05:05.980 I'm in favour of the government

00:05:08.340 Bending the civil service to their will

00:05:12.300 Yeah, bully and browbeat them if possible

00:05:18.140 If they're not doing as they're told, yeah

00:05:19.560 Yeah, make them do as they're ordered

00:05:24.240 By their masters

00:05:26.020 The people that are elected

00:05:28.560 Rogue civil servants just doing what they want

00:05:34.680 Deciding what policy they will or won't enact

00:05:37.200 That's all kinds of wrong

00:05:41.460 civil servants should be exactly that servants to the people that have been elected with a mandate

00:05:50.660 from the people not to just pick and choose what the policy is going to be themselves hate it hate

00:05:57.580 it okay call to stop sharing data with china after breach it says entirety of uk biobank

00:06:10.620 offered for sale online

00:06:12.300 so what this is

00:06:16.560 if you've been to the NHS

00:06:18.100 if you've been to hospital and various things

00:06:19.920 over the last fair few years actually

00:06:21.700 sometimes they would ask you

00:06:23.700 would you mind if we take a swab

00:06:26.080 perhaps like the inside of your mouth

00:06:27.960 take some sort of swab

00:06:28.860 and if you sign a thing we'll actually take

00:06:31.600 blood samples from you

00:06:33.420 even urine samples and stuff

00:06:35.400 and it's just for research

00:06:37.680 we'll only do it if you okay it

00:06:39.340 it's for research we put it into this new thing called the biobank we're doing it's all good it's

00:06:44.740 all a great thing and then over years there'll be all sorts of research into into dna and

00:06:50.200 statistical analysis and it just helps medical research would you mind doesn't cost you anything

00:06:58.020 we just all you got to do is sign a bit of paper saying you've allowed us to do it and would you

00:07:03.800 So, of course, lots and lots of people, kind, good-natured, good-hearted people of Britain

00:07:10.120 said, yeah, sure, well, it'll take one second, it doesn't cost me a penny, and it will ultimately

00:07:15.380 help medical research, it might help reduce misery, human misery and suffering in the

00:07:20.840 world, or in Britain.

00:07:22.280 Yeah, sure, of course.

00:07:26.240 All that's been stolen by the Chinese now, in its entirety.

00:07:30.660 Oh.

00:07:33.800 Oh right, how does the Chinese affect me?

00:07:39.360 How are the Chinese an enemy of mine in any way?

00:07:42.280 Well exactly something like that, you do not get it.

00:07:51.960 Chinese Communist Party, I'm not saying all Chinese people.

00:07:56.120 Chinese Communist Party is evil, evil filth.

00:08:00.960 Be under no illusions.

00:08:02.080 that Winnie the Pooh fella

00:08:03.860 Xi Jinping fella

00:08:06.020 is an enemy of yours

00:08:08.380 I'm telling you

00:08:11.800 Trump science Vietnam

00:08:16.160 as he vows

00:08:18.000 not to rush with Iran

00:08:19.580 that's a big thing basically overnight

00:08:21.340 yesterday overnight in the US

00:08:24.700 Trump talking to reporters and things

00:08:26.840 we're at the moment aren't we

00:08:30.280 is in some sort of indefinite ceasefire with iran until well we don't know exactly if and when

00:08:35.780 hostilities will ever start again at least formally i mean there are still some hostilities

00:08:40.340 informally but reporters saying what are you going to do and when trump saying quite reasonably i

00:08:46.740 think might just my opinion at this point at least this moment in time just saying to the reporters

00:08:53.700 look don't rush me we've got to give the iranians some sort of breathing space to

00:09:00.260 get themselves together to get some sort of functioning government together to even be able

00:09:06.080 to start to strike any sort of deal trump wants a good deal there's no point is he this is his

00:09:13.800 argument there's no point rushing all these things through and it just ends in further further

00:09:19.320 disaster ends in basically a forever war trying to avoid a forever war here basically is what

00:09:25.300 trump's saying don't blame him that's why the poll we did the other day where it was like

00:09:32.220 has trump chickened out i said you know i i would say no not really not exactly i mean you can argue

00:09:41.820 can't you quite easily there's an element of that to it keep threatening to blow up all their bridges

00:09:46.160 and power stations and they're not you could easily argue there's an element of chickening

00:09:51.320 out to that but i would say no overall overall no no it's like it's actually trying to i think

00:09:57.260 actually trying to avoid a forever war my feeling might well be wrong right history could prove

00:10:04.760 prove me wrong we'll find out maybe years from now exactly what everything that happened

00:10:09.180 i feel like it's actually proven everyone accuses trump of being a

00:10:14.740 Not everyone, but people with TDS and haters

00:10:17.080 Haters of the US and Trump

00:10:18.720 Will say he's a madman, he's so unpredictable

00:10:20.680 Well, he's actually acting with prudence here, is he not?

00:10:26.000 Is he not?

00:10:27.720 Trying to avoid a Vietnam

00:10:28.960 Trying to avoid an Iraq-style

00:10:31.500 Near-endless thing

00:10:33.400 Or many, many, many, many years-long thing

00:10:35.480 By just trying to get the right deal

00:10:37.540 Then

00:10:39.500 Will he ever be able to make a deal?

00:10:43.180 Ever

00:10:43.440 With Iran?

00:10:44.740 But if the sticking points are things like their stockpile of enriched uranium that's buried under a mountain, or their ability, their insistence that they'll keep doing it when they can, can they ever make a deal then?

00:11:01.560 Like, what are you waiting for?

00:11:02.480 What do you need breathing space for if Iran will never make a deal?

00:11:08.440 So, it's a sticky situation, isn't it?

00:11:11.760 There's a whole thing.

00:11:13.180 See that little kid there

00:11:14.480 You might not know

00:11:15.020 That's the little

00:11:15.460 That little kid

00:11:16.340 I think he's eight

00:11:16.840 He's going to be

00:11:18.080 King of England one day

00:11:19.140 King of England

00:11:21.380 King Louis the first

00:11:24.080 It would be wouldn't it

00:11:25.440 Alright

00:11:28.980 What else have we got

00:11:31.800 The eye paper

00:11:32.560 Shoot and kill

00:11:33.900 Trump's new order

00:11:34.900 To US Navy engulf

00:11:36.220 As Iran peace

00:11:37.280 Talks stall

00:11:38.340 There you go

00:11:40.240 So that was what I was saying

00:11:41.020 Trump wanting breathing space and things

00:11:44.680 giving Iran breathing space for peace talks

00:11:47.280 or some sort of deal to be struck

00:11:48.420 it needs to be the right deal he's saying

00:11:49.880 you can also say can't you

00:11:52.800 what deal

00:11:53.920 what deal are you talking about

00:11:56.560 I can't see any feasible deal

00:12:00.140 on the horizon remotely

00:12:01.600 they've got their lines in the sand

00:12:06.840 and the US

00:12:08.060 and Israel

00:12:10.880 they've got theirs and never the twain shall meet very very difficult for them to ever find

00:12:18.800 unless one side moves massively and the us and israel are not good they're not going to

00:12:23.760 anyone's got to move their position it's kind of got to be iran hasn't it because

00:12:31.120 because israel and the united states hold all the cards militarily right that's the that's the

00:12:38.960 reality of it iran's not going to invade israel or the united states it can't

00:12:48.080 they can do that to iran in the final reckoning if they really really wanted to

00:12:54.880 so with that said with that being the reality

00:13:02.560 iran will have to move its position but i don't think it will will it is

00:13:05.280 It's showing no signs of doing that

00:13:08.020 About uranium, for example

00:13:09.940 And a number of other things

00:13:12.080 Alright, let's read the little blurb on the iPaper

00:13:15.480 It's about the best thing you're going to get out of Fleet Street on any given day

00:13:18.000 Israel's defence minister threatens to return Iran

00:13:21.640 Quote, to the dark and stone ages

00:13:24.060 President tells US military to attack Iranian ships in the Strait of Hormuz

00:13:31.700 As part of struggle to control waterway

00:13:34.420 Tents stand off as fears grow of return to conflict

00:13:37.820 With both sides hardening their stance after diplomacy stalls

00:13:41.720 US forces board another tanker carrying Iranian oil

00:13:45.520 Trump says King Charles' state visit next week

00:13:50.020 Could quote absolutely quote

00:13:52.060 Help repair his strained relations with the UK

00:13:56.120 It may be a bit Trump does get on with King Charles

00:13:59.920 And he does like the monarchy doesn't he

00:14:02.920 He always thought it was a great, great honour to go and have like a state banquet at Buckingham Palace or something with the Queen or something along those lines.

00:14:11.260 And maybe it will a bit.

00:14:14.300 But sitting down, shaking hands and having a genial conversation with King Charles is not really going to change who Keir Starmer is and the policy of his government, is it?

00:14:26.400 The May elections may change the nature of the government in the sense that we'll have a new one.

00:14:32.920 we'll see will trump get on with interim prime minister david lammy

00:14:41.700 david lammy in the past has said before that labouring government this time said

00:14:49.260 remember something extremely extremely relatively harsh things about trump before when they're in

00:14:56.660 opposition can't remember exactly what he said i paraphrase it was like stuff like trump's a

00:15:02.520 complete idiot on it was things like that like Trump can't be trusted crazy crazy dude yeah it's

00:15:10.860 coming from Lammy like the Financial Times the Financial Times there's a picture of some Iranian

00:15:18.120 people boarding a ship US accuses so here's another China story completely different to the

00:15:23.480 one where they seem to have stolen and now are selling the biometric data of loads and loads

00:15:29.760 of British people.

00:15:32.160 Separate to that, US accuses China of industrial-scale theft from AI labs in Tech's arms race.

00:15:43.800 Don't ask me again why I think China is a threat to us, ok?

00:15:48.320 Don't insult me or anyone else with that question.

00:15:55.440 Get a clue.

00:15:59.760 distillation campaign in focus okay Beijing condemns pure slander yeah the

00:16:05.540 Chinese say no we didn't uh no we didn't

00:16:09.280 Trump to meet Xi in weeks all right The Guardian

00:16:21.760 The Guardian foreign office shuts a unit tracking potential law breaches by

00:16:26.560 israel that's odd isn't it that's interesting isn't it yeah the foreign office had a unit

00:16:35.440 that was tracking potential breaches of international international law

00:16:43.440 in gaza and other places in lebanon because of cuts within the department they've just scrapped it all

00:16:54.000 okay all right

00:16:56.560 UK Biobank Health data for sale on Chinese site. Great. Great.

00:17:04.560 The Metro.

00:17:10.560 The Metro.

00:17:13.560 Here's a story where everyone involved is a douchebag.

00:17:19.560 You ever get those stories?

00:17:21.560 and literally everyone involved in it from top to bottom you don't like don't care about

00:17:28.760 get it effing right i'm not even white this story real quick don't spend much time on it because

00:17:36.680 it's so annoying shibana mahmood like the pakistani home secretary shibana mahmood

00:17:46.280 Was doing some podcast

00:17:48.340 Some live podcast

00:17:49.580 Or not live

00:17:51.020 It was being recorded

00:17:51.860 In a theatre in London

00:17:53.460 Some podcast

00:17:54.140 This guy stands up

00:17:56.980 He's like a Malaysian person

00:17:58.620 Or of Malaysian descent anyway

00:18:00.440 Yeah Malaysian

00:18:02.340 He's of Malaysian descent

00:18:03.600 He stood up and started heckling her

00:18:05.700 For being too much of a racist

00:18:07.760 For being too much of a fascist

00:18:09.340 She's not of course

00:18:10.360 She's not

00:18:11.640 She's the opposite of that

00:18:13.600 Some sort of weirdo, Islamo-socialist, traitor freak

00:18:19.220 She's the furthest thing from, like, right wing

00:18:22.820 The furthest thing

00:18:23.980 Nonetheless, this psycho

00:18:25.900 This absolute brain-dead psycho Malaysian person

00:18:29.400 Sit up and started heckling her

00:18:31.680 For being, like, an evil person

00:18:35.820 That doesn't do enough for immigrants and things

00:18:43.600 And she like hit back at him

00:18:46.440 In real time apparently

00:18:47.600 Saying something like

00:18:49.540 You're just a white liberal

00:18:51.200 Something like that

00:18:52.640 Right

00:18:54.760 The Home Secretary

00:18:55.680 Using white as a pejorative

00:19:00.260 Brilliant

00:19:01.500 Brilliant

00:19:02.820 So both

00:19:13.360 both parties here completely insane and disgusting and traitorous and evil as far as i'm concerned

00:19:18.800 so as any patriot or a nativist is concerned just foreign people destroying our country and

00:19:25.840 arguing amongst themselves about it one way or another she called him just like be quiet you

00:19:32.800 white liberal he hit back saying i'm not even white i'm malaysian

00:21:29.080 hope not hate

00:21:31.400 We'll just say it's un-British not to just give these people asylum

00:21:35.960 Not to just give them free hotels and mobile phones and money and handouts

00:21:40.620 These are invaders with bad intentions

00:21:55.640 I can't even dwell on it because it's so terrible isn't it? So terrible

00:21:59.680 i just don't accept any of the arguments from people anymore that we need to do anything other

00:22:06.960 than put the royal marines in the channel and stop those small boats at the point of an sa80

00:22:16.120 if necessary we're going to tow you back to the french beach drop you there

00:22:22.560 if the french get up to you about it we'll have a summit we'll have a meeting

00:22:29.680 and go to the hall of mirrors in versailles if you like you can do something in london if you

00:22:35.840 like sit down all the top people involved hash it out and the bottom line is we're going to keep

00:22:40.780 doing that but you're going to have a full-scale war with us france and britain are both nuclear

00:22:49.480 armed nations what you're going to have a nuclear exchange with us over it are you no you're not no

00:22:53.080 you're not so we're going to keep doing it in both britain that's what would happen day one

00:23:01.720 if i had to i'd announce some sort of emergency some sort of crisis

00:23:08.120 if that's what it requires legally and in cabinet just get the minister for defense

00:23:14.280 Go get one of your generals

00:23:17.080 To go get a colonel

00:23:19.960 Or a major

00:23:20.680 From the Royal Marines

00:23:21.900 Maybe 4-2 commando

00:23:23.020 And deploy in the channel

00:23:25.320 Right now

00:23:26.200 Right now

00:23:27.160 I'm talking today

00:23:29.040 And you're stopping

00:23:32.780 You're physically stopping

00:23:34.080 Those small boats

00:23:34.840 Now

00:23:37.100 Pretty straightforward

00:23:39.460 And let us deal with

00:23:41.760 The political side fallout

00:23:42.840 If the French government

00:23:43.860 get their knickers in a bunch about it we'll deal with that put the marines there now

00:23:50.820 we can't have what one more rape one more violent assault one more of these people just engaged in

00:24:01.560 endless organized crime one way or another it's got to stop as soon as possible as soon as possible

00:24:09.140 Sarah Cox is going to get the new BBC breakfast slot

00:24:15.780 Coxie

00:24:18.440 I've got my dream job on Radio 2

00:24:20.860 Good, well done

00:24:23.860 Daily Toregraph

00:24:27.600 There's Willsy's son

00:24:30.140 Who's going to be king one day

00:24:31.360 There you go

00:24:31.900 Herma's excessive fee for Iraq witch hunt

00:24:35.320 MOD challenged

00:24:37.540 MOD challenged £450 an hour rate

00:24:42.820 To investigate war crimes by British troops

00:24:45.400 Okay, here's a story

00:24:48.300 It's in the news at the moment

00:24:49.720 Imagine this

00:24:51.340 Imagine this

00:24:52.760 You're a British soldier

00:24:54.240 And we're another

00:24:55.940 You've been trained to follow orders

00:24:58.280 You've been ordered

00:25:02.360 You've been sent to

00:25:03.480 A theatre of combat

00:25:05.860 you've been fired upon you've been ambushed and fired upon and everything you're supposed to do

00:25:13.820 is fire back least of all to save your own life you've been ambushed and fired upon by enemy

00:25:19.940 combatants you fire back then those enemy combatants then find a lawyer from your country

00:25:29.660 and lie about it say you were just trying to murder them for no reason and your lawyers in

00:25:35.080 your own country, then launch an investigation and try and prosecute you for a manslaughter

00:25:39.320 or murder and things.

00:25:42.340 Imagine that.

00:25:43.180 You think that's a bit of a weird, unlikely set of events?

00:25:46.200 Nope.

00:25:47.760 Nope.

00:25:49.440 Happens loads.

00:25:51.080 Can you imagine?

00:25:52.200 Such a travesty.

00:25:53.900 Such an injustice.

00:25:56.140 I've got one, I've got an article here.

00:25:57.940 Here we go.

00:25:58.680 Let me read a little bit from this article that's in the mail today.

00:26:01.380 Our heroes are furious about the legal vultures

00:26:05.500 Hounding them for serving Britain

00:26:07.680 It's so bad as well

00:26:09.440 Don't think this is just one or two examples of this

00:26:12.580 It's loads

00:26:13.240 It's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds

00:26:15.140 Apparently they're spending a million pounds a month

00:26:18.900 On hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of different prosecutions

00:26:22.720 Big chunks of the SAS have retired early

00:26:27.300 Because there's a type of protest about it

00:26:31.380 Let me read a little bit from this particular article

00:26:33.880 The revelation that our Attorney General

00:26:37.260 The highest lawman in the land

00:26:39.400 The Attorney General, Lord Hermer

00:26:41.140 The revelation that Lord Hermer was part of a group of lawyers

00:26:45.980 Said to have hounded British soldiers on behalf of Iraqi hoodlums and thugs

00:26:50.140 Will surprise no one who served in Iraq or indeed in any recent British military campaign

00:26:56.080 So, just to give you quickly an overview

00:26:58.520 We'll read about it

00:26:59.520 But, again, people from Iraq

00:27:02.100 Well, it could be Syria or Afghanistan

00:27:04.100 Somehow able to get in contact with

00:27:07.980 Not necessarily Lord Palmer himself

00:27:09.980 But sometimes Lord Palmer

00:27:10.880 But other British lawyers, human rights lawyers

00:27:13.100 In fact, the human rights lawyers will go

00:27:15.240 To Iraq and Afghanistan and Syria

00:27:17.040 And try and find these people

00:27:18.200 And they just lie to them

00:27:21.500 Simple as that

00:27:22.860 Just deliberate liars

00:27:24.180 Say, yeah, it wasn't that we ambushed them

00:27:28.180 They just started firing on us for no reason.

00:27:31.080 They were just trying to murder us all.

00:27:34.420 Yeah, that's what happened.

00:27:36.580 Then the human rights lawyers go back to Britain and bring cases against soldiers.

00:27:44.460 Brave men and women that were trying to do the right thing in their minds, if nothing else.

00:27:54.180 Okay.

00:27:56.380 You think, Bo, how do you know they were lying?

00:27:58.180 Oh, of course, there's been investigations.

00:27:59.420 Years, ten years more of investigations into all this.

00:28:02.760 They're shown to be deliberately lying.

00:28:04.860 Loads.

00:28:08.620 On behalf of Iraqi hoodlums and thugs.

00:28:13.020 I speak, this is just Bob Seeley, an opinion piece in the Mail Online.

00:28:19.520 He says, I speak of many thousands of veterans.

00:28:23.260 Not like half a dozen cases, not two dozen cases, thousands.

00:28:26.140 thousands of veterans both full-time and reservists when i say that what we truly

00:28:34.300 think of hermer and his coterie of human rights lawyers is unprintable but contempt anger and

00:28:38.980 derision would be good starting places the comfortable world of solicitors consulting

00:28:42.800 rooms was a far cry from the blinding heat dust and sweat in iraq and afghanistan think what it's

00:28:48.360 like to patrol for hours weary with heavy kit on your back wrapped in osprey body armor itself

00:28:55.220 weighing 10 kilos sweat dripping into your eyes head boiling beneath a chunky helmet and then

00:28:59.820 imagine having to make life or death split second decisions under attack from iran-backed mardi army

00:29:05.380 militia in iraq or taliban fighters in afghanistan yet it was these brave british soldiers who

00:29:11.760 endured exactly such perilous conditions day after day who you can talk about the political

00:29:16.980 side of it did tony blair and george bush on the strength of life okay that's another thing but

00:29:22.080 once the soldiers are actually there okay once they're actually there and they're trained and

00:29:27.360 ordered to do to be there and to be doing what they're doing that's something different i do

00:29:33.600 have questions and reservations about the inception of those wars in iraq and afghanistan but that's

00:29:40.480 not what we're talking about here now the truth at this point now then the troops are on the ground

00:29:45.760 doing what they're told and trained to do

00:29:47.440 okay that's exactly exactly the perilous conditions after day who became who became the

00:29:55.080 target for a despicable witch hunt mounted by by lawyers from their own country now hermer's

00:30:00.400 personal role in giving legal advice to fellow lawyers at least one subsequently struck off

00:30:06.080 in a large-scale attempt to sue the ministry of defense has come to light the resulting five-year

00:30:11.800 public inquiry a 30 just one of many a 31 million pound bonanza for lawyers attempted to present the

00:30:19.240 british army as no more than a gang of marauding thugs bent on vietnam war style massacres i

00:30:24.880 suppose they're talking about the mi-li massacre there but the claims had been a tissue of liars

00:30:29.840 from beginning to end and the al swede investigation as it became known cleared the british troops

00:30:35.920 There's Lord Harmer there

00:30:38.660 Sort of an arch-traitor

00:30:43.260 An arch-enemy of the state

00:30:44.960 And the army, if nothing else

00:30:46.820 Doing everything he can

00:30:49.180 To undermine us from every possible angle

00:30:51.260 Lord Harmer

00:30:54.040 Loves the idea of giving away

00:30:59.060 The Chagos Islands

00:31:00.220 Andrew

00:31:02.560 Urgent is to be believed

00:31:04.840 maybe even made a lot of money out of trying to give away the chagos islands and just trying to

00:31:11.900 demonize and prosecute british soldiers that were just doing as they were told in order to do

00:31:15.440 lord harmer starmer's pick to be attorney general that's who that is the article continues it is

00:31:23.080 disgraceful that even today the hounding of our soldiers continues with aging northern ireland

00:31:28.120 veterans chased through the courts for actions and events of decades ago it is is it any wonder

00:31:33.780 the British army is gripped by a recruitment crisis. Special Forces soldiers are reportedly

00:31:39.660 quitting early for fears of being sued in years to come for obeying lawful orders.

00:31:44.280 The whole debacle was a repugnant play in two acts, both of which also involved Prime

00:32:00.140 Minister Sakhir Stalin.

00:32:03.320 Act 1 Lawyers campaigned to use European human rights laws to investigate and presumably

00:32:08.900 prosecute British troops.

00:32:10.520 Back in 1997, Starmer himself called for such laws to be used to investigate our troops

00:32:15.260 in Iraq.

00:32:16.260 Act 2 Starmer was instrumental in a 2007 case which extended the European and British human

00:32:21.660 rights laws to cover military operations in Iraq, opening an Aladdin's cave for greedy

00:32:27.720 lawyers to attack British forces. It is now alleged that Lord Hermer was one of the lawyers

00:32:36.780 who advised how to pursue claims against the military of defence. Advised who? Advised

00:32:43.000 other lawyers who advise Iraqi, Afghani, Syrian liars. Just tell us a whole bunch of liars

00:32:51.000 and we'll take that to court and try and put these people in prison.

00:32:57.640 that he continued to press for large payouts on behalf of vile, lying clients, even as evidence

00:33:03.300 mounted of their shameless dishonesty.

00:33:05.700 So there's enquiries into this, and they've been found that they're just complete lies.

00:33:11.640 Complete lies.

00:33:13.480 Their shameless dishonesty.

00:33:17.340 Our politicians must also bear some blame, allowing human rights legislation to be used

00:33:22.020 against our military in the first place, was an act of cowardice and stupidity.

00:33:25.980 The policy originated under the government of Tony Blair

00:33:28.620 Of course it did

00:33:30.140 Another example of his corrosive influence on public life

00:33:33.900 The truth is that Britain has always had higher standards in soldiering

00:33:37.320 Our troops, mostly during their long years in Northern Ireland

00:33:41.020 Developed a culture of intelligent soldiering

00:33:43.220 And a deep humanity for the societies in which they operated

00:33:46.520 At the close of the Second World War

00:33:48.520 German civilians were desperate to fall under British control

00:33:51.540 Rather than into the hands of the Soviet troops

00:33:53.480 now reviled in posterity by history

00:33:57.760 for the mass rape and murder of women and men

00:34:00.700 to depict British soldiers as an out of control rabble

00:34:05.080 such as the Russian army in Ukraine today

00:34:07.180 is a despicable libel

00:34:09.280 should individual British soldiers behave badly

00:34:12.480 there has always been a robust military chain to deal with them

00:34:15.900 including the courts marshal or military courts

00:34:18.520 one of the soldiers caught up in the Iraqi scandal

00:34:21.940 Lance Corporal Brian Wood

00:34:23.200 Said Herma and others had pursued a witch hunt for years

00:34:26.980 Herma said he was representing the people trying

00:34:29.940 Herma, he said

00:34:31.900 Lance Corporal Wood said

00:34:34.180 Was representing the people trying to kill us

00:34:37.060 Yeah

00:34:37.340 Pretty much as simple as that, isn't it?

00:34:40.380 People trying to kill English, British soldiers

00:34:43.580 Lord Herma and his human rights lawyers

00:34:47.700 Defending them

00:34:53.200 going with their liars after the fact

00:34:59.060 could it be more treasonous, more revolting

00:35:03.580 Lance Corporal Wood goes on to say

00:35:07.160 look at where we are in the world at the moment

00:35:09.560 and you wonder if we can trust the government

00:35:12.620 Wood was awarded the military cross

00:35:18.560 for his courage in Iraq during the Battle of Daniboyer

00:35:21.620 The name of a British checkpoint ambushed by Iraqi militia in May 2004

00:35:25.820 Similar isn't it to that Australian

00:35:29.120 Victoria Cross recipient

00:35:32.960 Who's right now I believe being held on remand in prison

00:35:36.680 In a prison cell in Australia

00:35:38.180 For human rights lawyers and stuff

00:35:42.260 Are trying to prosecute him for like what manslaughter and murder and things

00:35:46.240 When in fact he's just a war hero

00:35:51.620 this is what you get from leftist globalist governments leftist globalist people that

00:35:57.540 mean to undermine and destroy everything that's strong about your country that's what they do

00:36:03.340 at every possible angle all the time oh you've got you've got still some brave strong men like

00:36:09.980 war hero type chads you've got any super chads we've got to go after them laser like focus on

00:36:14.920 them try and put them in prison try and liable them as murderers yeah yeah yeah that's what they

00:36:20.500 That's what they are

00:36:22.260 Weak people filled with resentment

00:36:27.120 With a giant chip on their shoulder

00:36:28.660 That they're not chads

00:36:30.780 That they're not strong men

00:36:33.740 Strong, brave, noble, righteous men

00:36:36.040 That put their life on the line

00:36:38.200 Resentful of that to the point where

00:36:41.460 They would want to take down someone who is that

00:36:43.360 Crazy isn't it?

00:36:46.840 Crazy isn't it?

00:36:48.640 Yeah, the battle of Danny Boy

00:36:49.920 British troops ambushed if you fire back you're you're the baddie in this

00:36:57.040 I served in Iraq and Afghanistan not me personally I'm reading the article again now

00:37:03.720 the article says I served in Iraq and Afghanistan I remember the exhaustion at the end of patrols

00:37:10.440 gunshots over and near your patrol the rockets thrown at you missile I'm sorry the rocks thrown

00:37:16.220 at you missiles aimed at your base decisions are taken by young men and women fighting exhaustion

00:37:21.600 heat the enemy and armed with only limited situational awareness my admiration for people

00:37:27.240 like wood is boundless i am ashamed of the legal political and military classes that failed to

00:37:32.580 protect good soldiers like him one of the baleful consequences of ambulance chasing human rights

00:37:38.080 lawyers has been the effect on the ministry of defense i remember painful conversations including

00:37:42.940 an absurd one in basra in iraq in late 2007 when a ministry of defense policy advisor

00:37:47.900 tuttingly lectured me the condescension dripping from her voice like a leaky tap

00:37:53.900 of the importance of not preparing for contact contact being a firefight of some kind with a

00:38:00.940 militant on the off chance that they had an innocent explanation for carrying a rocket

00:38:05.420 propelled grenade imagine that you're a soldier in theater in country and your political overlords say

00:38:18.220 don't fire back at someone that's got a rocket propelled grenade because then

00:38:22.780 because they might not fire it at you

00:38:29.500 but they're gonna fire at you

00:38:30.620 they're not supposed to just be walking around with rocket propelled grenades

00:38:36.980 why have they got a rocket propelled grenade you can't you can't prepare for contact

00:38:42.320 you can't like see him go oh i best pick up my my sa80 let's make sure it's chambered let's make

00:38:50.920 sure it's cocks are loaded and the safety's off can't do it no that no no you might have a

00:38:55.940 completely perfectly innocent reason for walking around near a british checkpoint with a rocket

00:39:00.200 propel grenade what so fearful were we of the human rights class that that

00:39:09.560 protecting the lives of British soldiers and innocent Iraqi civilians came

00:39:14.780 second to militants rights to carry weapons you go Lord Kramer he'll lead

00:39:21.620 that charge

00:39:24.160 Okay, I've spent a bit of time on that

00:39:28.880 It goes on, it's an interesting article

00:39:31.060 But it goes on, just to sort of make the point

00:39:33.580 Including generals there

00:39:35.040 General Sir Peter Wall chipping in on it

00:39:38.180 Let's quickly read that

00:39:42.160 General Sir Peter Wall, one of the commanders in Iraq

00:39:44.820 Has said that the orchestrated claims against British troops

00:39:47.940 Following the Battle of Daddy Boy

00:39:49.220 Quote, were tantamount to treason

00:39:51.440 What does Herman

00:39:55.380 The country's chief legal advisor

00:39:56.880 Have to say

00:39:57.500 To these devastating accusations

00:39:59.700 Nothing

00:40:00.840 Just keep quiet on it now

00:40:02.000 Keep quiet on that now

00:40:03.760 Alright

00:40:05.760 I thought that was worth

00:40:25.580 Because it went super woke

00:40:28.860 And made some brown woman

00:40:30.720 Like the face of it

00:40:32.040 No one watches it anymore

00:40:33.260 Yeah, that's what that will do

00:40:38.240 Is it

00:40:38.960 One of the

00:40:41.740 Articles

00:40:43.200 There we go

00:40:43.780 BBC Axe's football focus

00:40:45.480 After 52 years

00:40:46.980 On British screens

00:40:48.340 What's her name?

00:40:49.740 Alex Scott

00:40:50.640 Football fans are not interested in Alex Scott's very, very poor grasp of football.

00:41:01.880 There's that old sketch, isn't there?

00:41:04.600 There's a Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse sketch from years ago.

00:41:11.580 Where like two football managers can be interviewed after a game by a female sports reporter.

00:41:17.420 They just ignore her, like she's not there.

00:41:18.900 Then eventually they just turn to her

00:41:21.040 And they're like

00:41:21.540 Where's the bloke love

00:41:23.700 We always talk to a bloke

00:41:25.960 This is football

00:41:26.760 Get the bloke

00:41:28.240 It's a comedy sketch right

00:41:29.540 Art imitating life

00:41:33.160 Yeah

00:41:34.340 If you insist

00:41:35.720 On making football commentators women

00:41:38.540 Not women minorities

00:41:42.360 The vast majority of men

00:41:45.140 Are not interested in that

00:41:46.900 Sorry not sorry

00:41:48.680 We don't want to hear about

00:41:52.180 The latest

00:41:53.840 Close offside call

00:41:56.740 From Alex Scott

00:41:58.220 We just don't

00:41:58.840 We don't

00:41:59.340 So no one watches it anymore

00:42:03.100 And they've got to axe it

00:42:04.020 Well done

00:42:05.020 Yeah well done

00:42:06.260 How many times does this have to play out

00:42:09.020 Whether it's like

00:42:10.060 Budweiser or Coors or whatever

00:42:13.300 Or Jaguar

00:42:14.460 Or Football Focus

00:42:16.700 All the things, like Gillette

00:42:22.160 Things that are supposed to appeal to white males

00:42:27.980 Just completely subvert it

00:42:31.460 And sort of write them out of the equation

00:42:33.480 And expect it just to survive

00:42:35.920 And do as well as it's always done

00:42:37.260 The Star Wars franchise

00:42:40.100 A million and one things

00:42:41.520 The market for that thing is white men

00:42:45.920 and you start marketing it as though white men are evil and of no importance to the thing

00:42:55.380 surviving financially i won't go broke yeah so people don't buy it people don't watch it

00:43:02.140 and the thing dies how many times does that have to play out i don't know it's funny at this point

00:43:09.220 do i care if football focus isn't on tv anymore no fine get rid of it get rid of it then fine

00:43:16.540 well done alex well done alex scott brilliant well done the the producers and directors and

00:43:26.580 top brass at the bbc well done for tanking that thing that's that's been going for 52 years

00:43:32.520 Yeah, well done

00:43:34.680 Hope you're proud of yourself

00:43:38.260 Alex Scott herself will still play a key role in the wider BBC sport realm though

00:43:48.500 There you go

00:43:50.720 No more football focus after the end of this year

00:43:53.840 This guy, look at this weirdo

00:43:57.320 He's got HIV and he's spent seven years trying to spread it to as many people as possible

00:44:01.360 Including a 15 year old

00:44:03.360 Okay

00:44:08.420 The Express, it's a good paper

00:44:10.340 Esther Anson really wants people to be able to die

00:44:12.440 Okay, does she?

00:44:14.800 Alright, Independent

00:44:16.260 It's the same stuff, Mandy stuff

00:44:19.200 The Daily Mail

00:44:20.720 Look, BBC kills off football focus

00:44:23.920 Yeah

00:44:25.140 Farage, this is reasonably interesting

00:44:27.580 Farage, I'll wage war on benefits culture

00:44:30.080 Don't believe you

00:44:30.880 He says he will, though. Reform leader tells Mao he'll face down riots, protests and strikes to cut bloated welfare bill.

00:44:38.100 Don't really believe you. Don't believe anything, Nigel says.

00:44:41.260 Don't believe anything he says, really. Simple as that.

00:44:46.700 Right, you've got a certain amount of political capital, haven't you? Any given person.

00:44:51.020 Whether they believe you.

00:44:53.380 You can make the policy.

00:44:55.240 You can get someone to write that policy on a web page.

00:44:57.460 You can even print it in real life

00:45:00.320 On proper paper

00:45:01.100 In the real world

00:45:02.100 That that's your policy

00:45:03.000 Don't believe you though

00:45:04.540 That you'll do it

00:45:05.500 And plus

00:45:06.180 Still not talk about mass re-migration

00:45:09.140 Just cut the welfare bill

00:45:11.000 But

00:45:11.240 Tours people to the right of Nigel

00:45:15.520 Restore people and stuff

00:45:17.080 As far as we're concerned

00:45:17.960 How can he ever really live down

00:45:21.180 That Stephen Edgington interview

00:45:24.880 Where he said

00:45:25.720 It's impossible

00:45:26.560 Edgington asked him

00:45:28.500 Just straight up

00:45:29.160 What about mass remigration

00:45:30.600 And he said

00:45:31.120 It's impossible

00:45:31.980 It's impossible

00:45:33.540 He then gets here

00:45:36.640 You see if months

00:45:37.360 A year later

00:45:37.980 Or whatever

00:45:38.320 To talk about

00:45:38.900 Oh no we would

00:45:39.680 We would remigrate

00:45:40.860 Quite a lot of people

00:45:41.660 As many as

00:45:42.800 400,000

00:45:44.360 Is the latest

00:45:44.880 One of the latest things

00:45:45.580 I saw out of reform

00:45:46.600 Not good enough

00:45:50.540 Millions must go

00:45:51.660 Millions must go

00:45:52.280 But Nigel's terrified

00:45:53.020 Of that isn't he

00:45:53.680 He's a political coward

00:45:55.680 political weakling, scared of Islam

00:45:57.980 terrified of Islam

00:46:01.620 that's any conclusion I can come to

00:46:03.200 Nige Al-Faraj

00:46:04.940 but you're going to go to war

00:46:07.720 on benefits culture, don't believe it

00:46:09.300 don't believe you, you've lied too many times

00:46:12.000 betrayed your own base too many times

00:46:15.500 a number of times

00:46:17.480 alright, let's have a look at our poll

00:46:21.860 what poll did we do today, it's already quarter two

00:46:23.720 Harry, if you could bring up the poll, engage

00:46:26.580 Okay, what did we say?

00:46:29.140 We asked you guys

00:46:29.900 Has there been a witch hunt against British soldiers?

00:46:36.220 I spent the last 20 minutes arguing that that is the case

00:46:39.000 Seems to have worked

00:46:39.880 Because the eyes have it

00:46:41.400 88% of you say yes

00:46:43.660 I feel like I really teed that up

00:46:45.740 I forgot that

00:46:47.400 I always forget almost immediately

00:46:49.360 What our poll's going to be every morning

00:46:51.180 Nonetheless, 88%, boom

00:46:56.540 My people, 88% say yes

00:47:00.820 Only 3% say no, and 9% say maybe

00:47:04.560 So, yeah, it seems pretty slam dunk, isn't it?

00:47:08.580 After all the enquiries and things that have gone into it

00:47:10.640 It just is the case, isn't it?

00:47:14.240 There's been a witch hunt

00:47:15.080 That 3% who put no there, you better be trolling

00:47:18.780 No, don't go

00:47:24.180 Alright, shall we have a quick look at the website

00:47:27.580 A little bit before we get on to this day in history

00:47:29.740 There's one or two stories this morning

00:47:31.360 I thought were interesting

00:47:32.180 Let's have a quick look at the price of oil

00:47:34.140 We do that on this show, don't we?

00:47:35.200 On the Bo Show, on Breakfast with Bo

00:47:36.480 We sometimes have a look at the price of crude in real time, don't we?

00:47:42.820 Just for the sake of it

00:47:44.100 So we can put in perspective

00:47:47.300 what is what it really is so it's climbed a bit in the last two days west texas is at 95 just

00:47:55.340 shy of 96 right now as of 48 minutes past eight in the a.m british summertime trading a just shy

00:48:03.940 of 96 a barrel brent crude is up 105 not cheap is it but once again not insane

00:48:16.180 it is higher

00:48:17.780 there's no way to

00:48:18.380 anything over $100 a barrel

00:48:19.820 is higher

00:48:20.340 I won't claim otherwise

00:48:22.140 I'm not trying to

00:48:22.940 I'm trying to be honest

00:48:25.280 and fair handed about it

00:48:26.300 but it's not

00:48:27.420 mentally high

00:48:29.040 still

00:48:32.000 as always

00:48:32.720 make sure to point out

00:48:34.480 there is a difference

00:48:36.540 between the price of

00:48:37.460 a barrel of crude

00:48:39.280 and what normal people

00:48:40.720 end up paying

00:48:41.360 at the petrol pump

00:48:42.200 and it's not fair

00:48:45.200 is it

00:48:46.180 that the price of crude hasn't gone spastically high

00:48:51.300 that the price of a gallon of diesel has

00:48:55.540 the governments could lower taxes on all of that couldn't they but no

00:48:59.460 no no no they'll send in riot police and the army before they do that

00:49:02.580 what am i exaggerating or am i talking about ireland i'll talk about actual

00:49:05.940 the republic of ireland right now

00:49:10.020 the irish people would you mind please lowering the taxes

00:49:14.260 that you've got on oil because it's so high nope all right well we'll start protesting well we'll

00:49:20.340 send in the riot police and on the army then oh you could just lower taxes on petrol for us no

00:49:32.340 crazy all right bbc a few stories i want to quickly get to or at least mention in passing

00:49:37.780 look epstein housed victims in london flats after met police chose not to investigate him in 2015

00:49:45.960 virginia kufri comes forward in about 2015 saying i'm a victim of sex trafficking and sexual assault

00:49:53.500 and everything this is the this is the people that did it andrew saxcoba gotha jeffrey epstein

00:50:01.880 And the police are like, hmm, interesting

00:50:05.120 We'll take down everything you're saying

00:50:06.820 Not investigate it

00:50:08.880 Great

00:50:11.380 It's documented now, that massive DOJ dump

00:50:14.220 Of documents

00:50:15.580 The Americans did

00:50:17.380 It's all there in black and white

00:50:18.680 Four different houses in London

00:50:21.520 We've even got a montage

00:50:23.760 We've even got a collage of them

00:50:25.120 There you go, look, four different properties in central London

00:50:27.440 Really nice places in like Kensington

00:50:29.160 In Chelsea

00:50:30.220 Massive townhouses

00:50:32.600 And Jeffrey Epstein

00:50:35.620 Trafficked women

00:50:37.480 The police weren't interested in investigating that at the time

00:50:44.940 Here's a story here

00:50:48.020 We've mentioned before a few times haven't I

00:50:49.580 I think it's interesting, funny

00:50:51.300 Not really all that funny ha ha

00:50:53.060 But

00:50:53.440 Funny, interesting

00:50:56.960 Remember there was all sorts of

00:50:59.320 trading spikes just before certain events would happen

00:51:04.940 like someone on the inside would know that trump's just about to attack iran say the price of crude

00:51:16.840 would probably spike on the back of that so you so you buy buy crude in some way whether the

00:51:22.620 commodities or just the equities in a company that deals with it one way now there's various

00:51:27.340 things or go on polymarket and just make a bet on that exact thing right you you know whoever you

00:51:32.960 are you somehow know that america is just about to do a special forces raid to kidnap maduro you

00:51:38.560 go on polymarket and put a bet on exactly that happening and then it does because you knew it

00:51:45.320 was just about to and you make four hundred thousand dollars u.s soldier charged after

00:51:51.660 winning is it winning winning $400,000 betting on removal of Maduro so at least they've actually

00:51:59.660 got one person for it yeah quick very quickly say a US Special Forces soldier involved in the

00:52:03.800 military operation that captured Nicolas Maduro has been arrested after he allegedly bet on the

00:52:08.880 removal of Venezuela's former leader before the information was publicly available the US

00:52:13.580 Department of Justice has charged Gannon Ken Van Dyck that's her name isn't it Gannon Gannon Ken

00:52:21.160 van dyke after he allegedly made trades on polymarket a crypto powered platform on the

00:52:26.540 basis of classified information this is clear insider trading and is it illegal under federal

00:52:33.860 law justice department official said yeah it's over four hundred thousand dollars that is cheeky

00:52:40.900 you're not supposed to do that dude hey gannon wait gannon mate not supposed to do that yeah

00:52:47.300 you know you're not supposed to do that do you yeah he's obviously not the only one though is he

00:52:53.060 but obviously one of many many many people that are doing that because that was on polymarket

00:52:58.500 that doesn't necessarily move whole markets that wouldn't like his one bet in inverted commas

00:53:05.860 on polymarket it's not going to show up on like trading trends across global markets

00:53:12.500 which some of these have so he's one of many that's doing this

00:53:17.380 many many many many many people that are doing similar things like this

00:53:27.060 he's cheeky that's an understatement it's a bit more than cheeky isn't it it's pretty gross

00:53:32.900 okay was there something on not that we've done that what was it mail online we've done

00:53:43.220 that express there was oh yeah the ayatollah we still haven't seen big strips there we

00:53:52.460 still haven't seen or heard from the ayatollah Khomeini the second have we

00:54:02.900 Well, finally, we're being told that I've seen a little bit of information about him.

00:54:08.660 They're still claiming he's not dead. He is alive, according to them.

00:54:11.740 But he's so badly burnt, he's going to need plastic surgery on his face.

00:54:18.020 Iran's supreme leader, quote, needs plastic surgery, quote, after face severely burned in airstrike.

00:54:23.480 And his lips, apparently, his face and lips are so badly melted that he's going to need plastic surgery.

00:54:27.940 He says he's had loads of operations on one of his legs

00:54:31.260 And he's currently waiting for a prosthetic

00:54:33.360 So they've had to amputate his legs

00:54:35.780 Or it was just severed

00:54:36.940 But they're insisting he is alive

00:54:40.900 They also say he has no real contact with the rest of the government

00:54:44.660 Whatever the government of Iran is right now

00:54:47.720 He has no direct contact with them

00:54:49.880 He's completely in hiding

00:54:50.860 And he sends written messages

00:54:53.120 Through a courier

00:54:54.840 And then another courier

00:54:56.000 And then another courier

00:54:56.940 so the israelis and americans won't find out exactly where he is in hiding and just

00:55:02.920 blow him up immediately because they've said they would they will they find out

00:55:06.360 so the story now believe it if you want take it or leave it is that he is alive

00:55:13.460 but he's lost a leg or at least part of his leg and his face and lips are all burnt up

00:55:21.580 and he's not actually doing any of the real business of government exactly because he's

00:55:28.720 only in contact with them through writing through a number of intermediaries he's got no direct

00:55:34.560 contact he's not having any meetings with any of the top people ever or anything like that so

00:55:38.520 okay i mean take that you can take or leave that reporting you might think all that's nonsense

00:55:45.440 you might think either that all of that is just american or israeli propaganda and in fact he's

00:55:55.400 actually fine or on the other end of the spectrum he's actually dead and this is all iranian cope

00:56:01.480 he's actually just dead already who knows who knows that's what the reporting's saying i'm

00:56:05.400 prepared to take it i've got no i've got no special intelligence of my own of course so i'm prepared

00:56:10.220 to take that this reporting on face value at this point till we find out for sure one way or another

00:56:14.800 there you go i thought that was interesting what the eye the state of the ayatollah

00:56:21.440 this grinning monster oh there's one story was there in the sun that was of mild interest before

00:56:28.380 we move on to on this day in history oh yeah maybe was it harry a little bit of harry all right a wee

00:56:35.860 spot of harry harry somehow now for some reason a ukraine shield massive ukraine shield

00:56:42.760 physically went to kiev and is just shilling on behalf of ukraine trying to wag the finger

00:56:48.560 at donald trump why don't you live up to your your obligations to give ukraine endless billions

00:56:54.620 all right mate sorry who are you again well you're a nobody that's who you are now isn't it

00:57:13.840 In your whole life

00:57:14.680 Your only job

00:57:22.760 That would be embarrassing to them

00:57:24.020 In your whole life

00:57:25.140 That was all you had to do

00:57:27.160 Right

00:57:37.940 You get a cushy life forever

00:57:39.540 All you've got to do is not maul a child

00:57:42.000 It's your only job in your whole life

00:57:44.020 His only job his whole life

00:57:47.360 Was to not tell papers

00:57:48.920 And leak to friends

00:57:50.160 That he's having arguments with his brother or his dad

00:57:52.620 Couldn't do that

00:57:53.480 Constantly leak about it

00:57:55.840 You're a scumbag mate

00:57:57.100 You're a disgusting scumbag

00:57:59.460 Don't tell me about Ukraine

00:58:31.220 Disgusting chump

00:58:33.540 It's a wrong one

00:58:35.400 Harry

00:58:36.220 Just go off and live in America

00:58:38.360 And go be friends with some people in Hollywood

00:58:40.400 Not interesting what you've actually got to say

00:58:42.840 You're a moron

00:58:44.100 You're a moron

00:58:46.320 Okay, on this day in history

00:58:51.800 Down through the centuries or millennia

00:58:55.820 On this day, the 24th of April

00:58:57.340 What happened of note?

00:58:58.420 Shall we have a look?

00:58:58.880 Okay, according to this website

00:59:01.600 I might have to change this website

00:59:03.260 I threatened that the other day, didn't I?

00:59:04.800 Might have to use a different

00:59:05.720 On this day in history type website

00:59:07.540 This one's

00:59:08.440 It's pretty good

00:59:10.180 It's usually good, but

00:59:11.480 Alright, the first one it comes up with here

00:59:14.680 It says

00:59:15.100 In 1184 BC

00:59:17.700 The Greeks enter Troy using the Trojan horse

00:59:22.080 We've got no date for that

00:59:23.340 There's no date for that

00:59:24.160 We don't even know it's anywhere near that year

00:59:28.880 It was the 24th of April, was it?

00:59:33.520 The Trojan War

00:59:34.840 is

00:59:37.500 semi-mythical. I mean, okay,

00:59:41.600 we've got the archaeology. We know

00:59:45.040 something there definitely happened. The archaeological

00:59:48.860 record shows there was something there

00:59:52.220 in modern-day Turkey.

00:59:54.040 But the literary record

00:59:58.480 The Homeric epic poems

01:00:02.360 Are literature

01:00:09.540 They're more literature than history

01:00:11.420 They come down to us through the oral tradition

01:00:15.840 They're not firm history

01:00:19.840 You can't say that on the 24th of April

01:00:22.240 1184 BC

01:00:23.900 is the day the greeks entered troy

01:00:26.500 it's a ridiculous thing to say

01:00:30.560 all right we'll be doing content at some point all about the iliad

01:00:37.800 iliad i remember first being being asked to read the iliad at a level

01:00:44.920 had to do it in extreme detail and since then going through it and rereading it a couple more

01:00:53.720 times and reading around it loads. The story of the anger of Achilles, sing goddess of

01:01:05.060 the anger of Achilles, the story of Agamemnon and his brother Menelaos against the Trojans,

01:01:17.560 Against Paris and Hector

01:01:20.620 The death of Hector

01:01:22.360 Great story, brilliant story

01:01:26.120 If you're into ancient history

01:01:27.220 It's an absolute, absolute, absolute must

01:01:30.440 You cannot say that it was the 24th of April

01:01:34.100 In the year 1184

01:01:35.560 When they finally entered Troy

01:01:38.240 In Odysseus' wooden horse

01:01:42.220 None of which is in the Iliad by the way

01:01:44.920 That's later tradition

01:01:46.360 tradition not history all right let's move on on this day in 1877 the russo-turkish war

01:01:56.540 russia declares war on the ottoman empire this is an important bit of history after the crimean war

01:02:02.160 in the 1850s where the french and the british largely stopped the russians from their aggression

01:02:08.220 against the ottoman because the english and the french loved the ottoman empire particularly but

01:02:12.940 they just saw russia was a russian empire at that point as a strategic enemy well after that 20

01:02:19.180 little bit more than 20 years later the russians go back to war with the ottomans and win that time

01:02:27.040 like what what there's loads of stuff happening like the romanians loads of sort of southeastern

01:02:34.700 eastern europe the balkans were still under ottoman control at least nominally

01:02:38.860 they've been in decline for centuries but places like bulgaria romania serbia big chunks of the

01:02:46.540 balkans and eastern europe russia sort of not exactly the right word but liberate them from

01:02:53.620 ottoman rule it's a bit generous to call it a liberation but anyway the ottoman the ottoman

01:02:59.900 rule is pushed back to constantinople itself shades of the decline and fall of the byzantine

01:03:08.260 Empire. The Ottomans, what, four or five hundred years later, get a taste of their own medicine.

01:03:15.700 History reversing itself. Interesting though, the Russo-Turkish War. Anyone who talks about the

01:03:21.060 Crimea should really be aware of the Russo-Turkish War that happened afterwards as well. Let's get

01:03:28.660 it all in perspective. Okay, on this day in 1898, the Spanish-American War. Spain declares war

01:03:36.500 After rejecting US ultimatum

01:03:38.620 To withdraw from Cuba

01:03:40.040 Bad idea

01:03:40.900 As far as Spain is concerned

01:03:42.660 Bad idea

01:03:43.160 Look, there's TR

01:03:44.220 There's Teddy Roosevelt there

01:03:45.760 Guy in the middle there

01:03:47.620 With the glasses on

01:03:48.660 If you can see that

01:03:49.320 Teddy Roosevelt

01:03:50.140 And his rough riders

01:03:55.960 His so-called rough riders

01:03:57.300 Rough riders, ooh

01:04:00.620 That war didn't work out very well

01:04:06.480 for spain there's loads to this war and in fact later today this evening i should be recording a

01:04:11.760 long-form bit of content with benjamin boys talking all about the life and times and career

01:04:15.360 of teddy roosevelt i actually know tons and tons and tons all about teddy roosevelt right now

01:04:22.720 in reading a book or two boning up about tr for the last six months or so i know tons about

01:04:31.040 roosevelt right now anyway uh he led an actual cavalry charge small one nonetheless natural

01:04:39.440 cavalry charge the spanish there was there was a there was a revolt going on in cuba america got

01:04:44.800 involved the spanish sunk an american ship and there's war net result of it long story short

01:04:52.160 net result of it is nearly all of spain's empire what's left of it collapses they're booted out of

01:05:00.080 of cuba booted out of all of the american sphere of influence booted out of the philippines

01:05:07.220 america takes over the philippines all sorts of places in the pacific

01:05:12.160 where spain had had right in centuries past a giant globe-spanning empire

01:05:18.800 it largely crumbled and wasted away by the late 19th century and in that spanish-american war

01:05:26.440 of 1898 more or less everything they've got left is just taken from them because they can't

01:05:33.320 they can't defend any of it

01:05:38.680 america goes from just an important economy and a very important regional power to after that

01:05:45.560 starting to truly span the globe starting to truly truly legitimately be a player in

01:05:52.840 in the top countries in the whole world i think oh as soon as there was the united states in 1776

01:06:00.320 they're one of the big players in the world no not at all not at all

01:06:04.920 only really after world war one between world war one and world war two when their navy becomes the

01:06:13.080 biggest navy in the world and sort of just undeniably the richest and most powerful and

01:06:17.400 All their resources are really cooking on gas, so to speak

01:06:20.720 Even earlier in the 19th century

01:06:23.540 People thought of the United States as sort of a middling power

01:06:27.500 Maybe an upper middling power

01:06:29.680 That's in the middle of the 19th century

01:06:33.200 Well this, the Spanish-American War

01:06:36.020 Puts the United States on the map big time

01:06:38.220 They're absolutely now in the top tier of countries in the world

01:06:43.680 At that point now

01:06:47.400 There you go, anyway, interesting, very interesting, Teddy Roosevelt there, that's how rough riders roll, great photograph, fascinating photograph, alright, on this day in 1916 was the Easter Rising of Irish Republicans against British Occupation begins in Dublin, right in the middle of World War I, thanks for that, thanks for that.

01:07:13.860 I was right in the middle of the SOM campaign

01:07:19.200 Great, cheers

01:07:20.420 On this day in 1967

01:07:24.340 American General William Westmoreland

01:07:26.860 Commander in Chief in the Vietnam Theatre

01:07:28.760 Says in a Vietnam News war conference

01:07:32.260 That the enemy has quote

01:07:33.980 Gained support in the United States

01:07:35.820 That gives him hope that he can win politically

01:07:38.080 That which he cannot win militarily

01:07:40.120 Not entirely wrong

01:07:42.060 William Westmoreland, in the end, replaced as overall CO on the ground in Naam

01:07:49.000 A lot could talk about Westmoreland, but we'll move on

01:07:56.720 Last one here says, on this day in 2023, India surpasses China as the world's most populous country

01:08:02.420 According to US estimates, with about 1.4 billion people

01:08:08.220 Estimated to reach 1.7 billion by 2064

01:08:13.200 China, sorry, India more populous than China

01:08:18.460 There you go, alright

01:08:21.760 Okay, shall we have a look at our rumble rents and superchats

01:08:26.580 Should we do that now, last bit of the show

01:08:29.240 Friday morning

01:08:31.940 Alright, let's have a look

01:08:34.420 We'll always start with rumble rents

01:08:37.340 there's quite a few

01:08:38.460 quite a few here

01:08:41.200 so we'll get through them

01:08:42.160 who do you think is in at number one

01:08:43.420 and still at number one

01:08:47.540 reigning, defending, undisputed

01:08:50.240 champion of Bojo rumble rants

01:08:54.040 global church history of course

01:08:55.480 you say, on this day

01:08:57.060 in 1479 BC

01:09:00.860 Hapsitshut becomes regent

01:09:02.980 to Tutmost III

01:09:03.880 yeah, Hapsitshut, a woman

01:09:06.700 Who was married to Tutmose II

01:09:10.180 Who then died

01:09:11.820 And she becomes

01:09:13.300 Queen regent

01:09:15.480 She then marries her stepson

01:09:18.420 I believe it was her stepson

01:09:19.360 Tutmose III

01:09:20.220 Anyway, eventually one way or another

01:09:23.860 She rules on her own

01:09:25.540 As a type of female pharaoh

01:09:27.500 Because you had to be a man to be a pharaoh

01:09:29.940 But more than once in Egyptian history

01:09:32.000 It was just a woman

01:09:32.960 It just fell to a woman

01:09:33.880 So she would rule as a female pharaoh

01:09:37.420 Interesting though isn't it

01:09:41.400 Because Mary Beard

01:09:42.340 According to Mary Beard

01:09:43.520 Globalist shill Mary Beard

01:09:47.800 LARPing as a historian

01:09:49.220 Leftist activist partisan

01:09:54.200 With the veneer of a historian over the top of it

01:09:58.080 Wrote a whole book about women

01:09:59.960 How women have never had any political voices

01:10:02.340 Never

01:10:02.820 Funny

01:10:06.240 Seems to me like history is littered with them

01:10:09.460 Perhaps it should have ruled on her own

01:10:13.960 As a female pharaoh

01:10:15.680 Not the only woman to have done that in ancient Egypt

01:10:18.840 Funny

01:10:22.620 Funny Mary Beard should make that argument

01:10:24.840 Thought she was supposed to be a serious historian

01:10:26.620 Oh no, that's right, she isn't

01:10:31.240 Okay

01:10:31.680 Global Church History also says

01:10:34.260 In 387 AD

01:10:37.720 St Augustine was baptised in Milan

01:10:40.840 Or that would have to be

01:10:43.680 St Augustine of Hippo

01:10:45.860 Not to be confused with St Augustine of Canterbury

01:10:49.280 Anyone doesn't know

01:10:49.940 There's two St Augustines in history of note

01:10:52.620 St Augustine of Canterbury

01:10:56.780 Which is what like the early 7th century isn't it

01:11:00.380 Late 6th century, early 7th century

01:11:03.240 Very very important for English history

01:11:05.620 Ecclesiastical history

01:11:06.580 But also perhaps more importantly

01:11:08.840 In fact more importantly

01:11:10.160 St Augustine of Hippo

01:11:12.100 An early Christian theologian

01:11:14.740 And you tell us

01:11:17.360 That he was baptised in Milan

01:11:19.500 On this day

01:11:20.620 In 387 AD

01:11:22.180 Okay

01:11:23.060 I didn't know that exact data point

01:11:25.060 But both St Augustines are very important

01:11:27.520 And worth knowing about

01:11:28.360 okay and then you said were you keen on the old fable games have you played masters of albion

01:11:36.460 i don't know what the old fable games are and i've never played masters of albion sorry about that

01:11:41.580 i don't do much gaming i play a little bit of sieve 4 occasionally that's about it

01:11:49.620 i used to play them years ago i used to like playing heroes of might and magic heroes of

01:11:56.020 might of magic 2 and 3 they're like the only sort of games in that genre i would play but they're

01:12:00.960 very very simple games they were already really old then heroes of might of magic but they're just

01:12:05.640 you know sometimes simple games are fun relatively simple but i've so these days i don't really do

01:12:13.960 much gaming at all other than the odd bit of civ 4 that really is it i haven't got enough time i need

01:12:18.900 to finish my novel i just haven't got enough time and so i don't know the old fable games sorry just

01:12:24.440 masters of albion never heard of it sounds like it would be fun sorry no all right gwff says

01:12:34.280 lawyers of london war risk premiums went from 0.2 per per vessel value per transit to about one

01:12:44.880 percent that's a five-fold increase vessel charter rates hit half a million dollars per day

01:12:51.200 Okay, those numbers don't mean too much to me

01:12:55.140 But I get the overall point you're making

01:12:56.660 That it's difficult to ensure a ship

01:13:01.940 I can't even assume you're talking about

01:13:04.860 Going through the Straits of Hormuz

01:13:06.040 Lloyds of London and other companies that

01:13:09.360 Ensure shipping

01:13:10.820 You want to use them now

01:13:13.380 They're going to make you pay through the nose for it

01:13:15.120 Yeah, because it's so dangerous

01:13:17.360 Yeah, makes sense

01:13:19.460 Makes sense

01:13:20.720 The same person, GWFF

01:13:23.420 The next one is from So You

01:13:24.700 Says

01:13:25.100 Insurers won't cover transit without military escort

01:13:28.780 When Lloyd's normalises

01:13:32.060 The crisis ends

01:13:33.320 Not before

01:13:34.220 Their point

01:13:35.140 Probably, yeah

01:13:36.540 Watch Lloyd's war risk premiums

01:13:38.920 Not rent crude prices

01:13:40.260 A good point

01:13:41.140 Probably a very good point

01:13:42.440 Yeah

01:13:43.840 An insightful point

01:13:45.580 Fair enough

01:13:48.100 Yeah

01:13:49.180 I'll take that on board

01:13:50.360 i mean i can watch both you would think crude prices are at least tangentially linked to what

01:13:59.840 lawyers are doing and saying well they will be the price on the open market will be but nonetheless

01:14:05.900 very good point absolutely yep take that on board all right 14 barber says morning all right yeah

01:14:12.260 i'm all right you're all right cheers buddy terrific saint george's day yesterday still a

01:14:18.280 bit bloated feeling now. What, do you have a couple of drinks? On the old booze. I hear

01:14:25.900 Rupert was on the telly last night, which is nice. I think telly is dead. Have a fantastic

01:14:31.460 weekend ahead. Cheers, mate. You too. Yeah, I didn't see I was completely out of the loop

01:14:36.280 yesterday evening and everything. Didn't watch any TV or on the internet at all. But yeah,

01:14:42.960 I was on the TV. I have to look back and look into that. Yeah, TV is dying, isn't it? People

01:14:48.280 watch what they want to watch when they want to watch it on the internet now don't they really

01:14:52.760 just terrestrial TV channels most people I know even older people

01:15:00.060 increasingly increasingly less inclined to just watch normal TV all right that's a random name

01:15:08.440 says I'm getting absolutely fed up with these effing traitors selling our nations and their

01:15:17.020 Peoples out for

01:15:18.080 Out to our enemies

01:15:19.680 I guess you're talking

01:15:20.760 In reference all about

01:15:21.660 The

01:15:21.920 The

01:15:23.000 The attempted prosecutions

01:15:24.800 Of our soldiers

01:15:25.400 Yeah

01:15:25.920 When we win

01:15:27.460 We will have

01:15:28.640 Nuremberg style trials

01:15:29.820 For every single one of them

01:15:31.040 They just vote

01:15:31.760 Yeah I would like to see

01:15:33.580 Some sort of reckoning

01:15:34.740 Legal reckoning

01:15:35.740 For people that have

01:15:36.780 Betrayed us

01:15:37.600 And acted as enemies

01:15:38.520 Of the

01:15:39.100 Of the people

01:15:40.940 And the state

01:15:41.860 I'd put Boris up there

01:15:44.740 Tony Blair

01:15:46.520 All the Prime Ministers since Blair onwards

01:15:48.520 All the Home Secretaries since Blair onwards

01:15:51.740 Including Breverman

01:15:54.060 Breverman did nothing wrong

01:15:55.320 Yeah, needs to be some sort of reckoning

01:16:04.060 I agree

01:16:05.600 JC Warlock says

01:16:07.480 Just simply says

01:16:08.780 Farage is a wet sponge

01:16:10.460 Where's the liar?

01:16:13.920 Scanning for lies

01:16:17.360 No lies detected

01:16:19.540 JC Warlock also says

01:16:23.480 The next viewer, all JC Warlock

01:16:24.840 You say

01:16:25.480 I'm seeing a lot more people nowadays

01:16:28.880 Talking about the death of the magnetosphere

01:16:32.680 And a potential Mars future

01:16:36.360 Why go to Mars when we can prep to have it here

01:16:40.700 Happy Friday bro

01:16:41.900 Loch Ness Castle

01:16:43.760 the death of the magnetosphere

01:16:47.820 that's generated by the spinning iron core of the earth isn't it i might be terribly wrong about

01:16:54.560 that but that's not what that is isn't it i don't think the iron core of the earth is set

01:17:00.040 to stop spinning anytime soon is it the poles might flip that could happen at any time right

01:17:07.360 suddenly the north pole is the south pole and vice versa which might screw up loads of things

01:17:11.440 satellites and all sorts of stuff on earth but the idea that the the full death of the magnetosphere

01:17:16.720 i've not heard that i've not heard about that i might be wrong but i don't think the core of the

01:17:25.680 earth is set to stop spinning anytime soon okay jesse water also goes on to say so it's bad when

01:17:33.920 we do it but when pelosi does it everything is hunky-dory seems legit i don't know exactly what

01:17:39.400 you'd be that be in reference to what would that be in reference to Pelosi

01:17:52.240 what you know what Harry do you know what you might be in reference to it's

01:17:55.780 probably everyone's probably so obvious what that's in reference to but I can't

01:17:58.780 think

01:18:02.720 oh Nancy Pelosi what does she do give Ukraine loads of money is it in

01:18:07.060 reference to that, or when her husband drink drives, it's okay when the male Pelosi, sorry
