00:02:19.300 And I'm fannying about for one morning.

00:02:21.040 I think it is.

00:02:22.540 If we just get straight into it.

00:02:24.400 Right, what have we got today?

00:02:25.220 What's that cabal of evil Fleet Street editors?

00:02:26.860 Quite frankly, evil Fleet Street editors

00:02:28.640 banging on about this morning.

00:02:31.000 Oh!

00:02:32.940 Russell Brand.

00:02:33.960 It's a brand day.

00:02:37.340 Brand's going to have to be rebranded

00:02:39.060 as a convicted rapist.

00:02:42.000 I can say that now.

00:02:43.120 It's wall-to-wall brand.

00:02:44.160 Nearly every single front page,

00:02:45.320 I think bar one, maybe two,

00:02:46.940 is Russell Brand.

00:02:49.920 so let's get into it it's by far the biggest story in this news cycle so i guess i'll spend

00:02:56.480 15 20 minutes on it or so tell you my little anecdotes of meeting mr brand

00:03:01.760 i met mr brand twice both brief things he never touched me down there um it's not funny it's not

00:03:12.240 funny all right so let's start let's start all right the mirror okay

00:03:18.080 there were signs but some chose to look the other way

00:03:22.720 there was science yeah first thing i'll say first thing i'll say and and to be fair this

00:03:29.280 doesn't count for anything because it's rumor that it was rumored

00:03:33.440 that he was going to get me too'd and that he'd done various bad things sex crimes for years and

00:03:42.920 years and years and years he's roughly from the same part of the world as i'm from he's from

00:03:45.880 sort of thorough grays which is not very far from where i was born and raised and lived nearly all

00:03:50.540 my life very close like one bus drive away he's an essex boy he's an essex boy yeah and uh people

00:03:58.900 said for years i mean going back to the early 2000s it was like you know russell brands this

00:04:03.260 is all just rumour so i'm just going to start with the rumour the scuttlebutt the rumblings

00:04:06.800 oh yeah there was rumblings right chris dangerfield oh good old dange my mate dange

00:04:13.840 you would always say yeah just wait and watch you just wait and see just wait and see leo

00:04:18.680 kursk leo kursk he's in the known here a little bit he's like those like celebrity circles much

00:04:24.220 more than i do he would just flat out say yeah no he's he's he's he's gonna be in trouble at

00:04:30.300 some point all right so let's put let's get that out of the way because really that doesn't count

00:04:34.900 for anything but i'm just saying like people would rumor about all sorts of stuff okay

00:04:40.300 now now right the facts of the case he has been found have i just poisoned the well there

00:04:46.880 he has been found guilty he was up on nine charges three of full-blown rape three of

00:04:55.020 sexual assault and three of like a more minor sexual assault right okay and he was found guilty

00:05:01.900 of four you know so found innocent of five of them but one of the one rape anal rape i believe

00:05:11.340 and three of the sexual assault ones okay he's gonna get sentenced on monday the judge in the

00:05:18.060 case said he can expect a lengthy jail term most people are saying he's probably looking at something

00:05:24.220 between maybe 8 and 15 years, something like that, quite a long time, he's 51, so he's

00:05:33.740 probably almost, well he will spend a fair few years in prison, even if you get out after

00:05:38.360 half of that. Say he's sentenced to 15 years, he's looking at 6, 7, 8 years in prison. Will

00:05:45.980 he ever be able to rehabilitate his reputation? No, he'll be a convicted rape, well unless

00:05:51.420 he wins on appeal unless it goes to appeal in any wins and the convictions overturned that seems

00:05:55.280 quite unlikely but might happen i mean there have been people that have been rapists that have then

00:05:59.960 got over it like mike tyson mike tyson was convicted of rape wasn't he he went to prison

00:06:06.720 for like three years and then now people still some people he's on podcasts and people don't

00:06:13.260 really talk about it much and he's a person again if you know what i mean okay so the thing i'll say

00:06:19.440 about this thing i'll say about this it's actually quite a contentious thing it's interesting what

00:06:25.540 the internet decides is or isn't a contentious thing i'm just looking at the chat there um

00:06:34.820 it's funny i get i've got uh i've got a lot of stick or a lot of pushback on topics you might

00:06:41.760 not think would be the ones so like get a little bit of pushback on my stance on israel panel

00:06:47.320 Einstein, for example, a little bit of pushback on Russia, Ukraine, for example, but not that

00:06:51.540 much, just par for the course. One time I did a video about Thomas More, Sir Thomas More,

00:06:57.960 St. Thomas More, sorry, the martyr, the Catholic martyr. I did a video on that once, just simply

00:07:03.540 talking about the historical fact, got loads of pushback on that from Catholics. Loads,

00:07:08.640 like more than almost anything else ever, that, Sir Thomas More, the historical memory

00:07:12.840 of Thomas More, that. Another time I did a video with Big Josh Firm, the Firminator,

00:07:18.500 all about Adventism, the Seventh-day Adventists, and that siege in Waco back in the early 90s.

00:07:29.160 Again, I thought I was being extremely fair-handed, just talking about the facts,

00:07:34.440 sort of the undisputed facts. But there's a little bit of opinion thrown in there.

00:07:39.380 got loads of pushback on that some people didn't like that so anyway i did a video about russell

00:07:44.140 brand like a couple of weeks ago now on state of politics say of politics and we go to the

00:07:49.100 same camera quick

00:07:49.820 say politics my other channel i do with mate nate aka mr h reviews um talking about it was about

00:07:57.700 four or five days into the russell brand case where a lot of the defendants had given their

00:08:02.020 the testimony there was a little bit of cross-examination from brands defense

00:08:05.220 lawyers barristers and um again thought i was being very very fair-handed just saying that

00:08:11.740 these are simply the facts of the case here's a little bit of rumor that's always swelled around

00:08:15.300 him i wasn't there in any of these instances i don't know so there you go that's it it was

00:08:20.040 basically that both sides of the spectrum russell brand is completely innocent it's all a stitch up

00:08:25.060 it's all the deep state globalists and of course he's a sex criminal what you're talking about of

00:08:29.880 course obviously he is both sides so this so the russell brand story i'm gonna do the same thing

00:08:39.140 again i'm gonna do the same thing again even though a court has convicted him of it i'm gonna

00:08:44.120 say i don't know i wasn't there in any of these instances oh there was some the one side will say

00:08:50.360 bo women lie oh sweet summer child you know women liar they waited 20 years to come forward with it

00:08:56.020 women lie this is a stitch up is it though i mean it might be i'm not saying isn't it might be but

00:09:01.620 do you know that that's the case no you don't you went there for example for example even this

00:09:10.560 morning just quickly going through twitter a little bit you've got someone like uh history

00:09:15.880 debunked simon webb who i like i've interviewed on here go back to on lotus eaters there's an

00:09:20.980 interview me and simon webb from the early days of lotus eaters like five years ago whatever

00:09:24.320 history debunked. I quite like him. I don't agree with all his takes, but I quite like him.

00:09:28.160 His take is, of course Russell Brand's guilty. Of course he is. Look at how he answered interview

00:09:37.260 questions. He said to his, he basically did the old no comment in all his four police interviews.

00:09:46.040 Simon Webb says, well, that's proof of guilt. It's not proof of guilt. It's suspicious though,

00:09:50.740 isn't it he did a version of I'm not answering any questions he reads out a

00:09:55.480 statement at the beginning of all the interviews saying I have never engaged

00:09:58.780 in any non-contextual sexual contact and I was very promiscuous in my youth did

00:10:04.360 it and I'm not gonna answer any of your questions in this interview but all the

00:10:08.520 questions you do ask I'm gonna go away when we talk to a solicitor and when in

00:10:13.420 the next interview I'll answer those questions a version of a version of no

00:10:20.020 no no comment okay so someone like Simon Webb and lots of other people lots of

00:10:25.020 other people I watched a video just half hour ago of a body language dude I quite

00:10:29.800 like body language videos and like nonverbal cue videos what is this person

00:10:35.500 saying just without what they're actually saying or the exact tone and

00:10:40.360 intonation of what they're saying what does that really say about about them

00:10:43.420 and what they're doing and all that and that one video one video was a big

00:10:48.460 channel but that one video saying this is this is a guilty person okay that's

00:10:52.720 that end of the spectrum on the other end of the spectrum we've got loads of

00:10:56.320 people I think like oh I don't really name any names but well I don't care

00:11:01.480 well like Keith woods or nativist concern both of whom I really like and

00:11:05.620 respect so this isn't a prop at them I want to make that clear this is just an

00:11:10.240 example of people saying people saying this is obviously a stitch-up it's

00:11:16.540 obviously stitch up they the women spent ages before they came forward the exact

00:11:20.360 details of the sexual assault I like really suspicious it basically wasn't a

00:11:25.460 sexual assault it's like they went there consensually knowing they were there

00:11:29.260 for sexual contact and and and it's just a woman make it like reimagined as 0.99

00:11:36.100 Russell Brand said just reimagining the incident years later

00:11:41.480 okay well so there you go you've got those ends of the spectrum

00:11:46.540 what I will say is I was never there and I don't know

00:11:51.400 and a court has found him guilty.

00:11:55.840 That's the final reckoning, isn't it?

00:11:57.400 That's how the law works.

00:12:00.540 Well, he'll have an appeal, I'm sure.

00:12:03.520 If that fails, then that's it.

00:12:05.560 For the rest of his life, he is a convicted sex criminal,

00:12:08.500 convicted rapist, for all time, in fact.

00:12:11.440 The historical memory of Russell Brand 200 years from now,

00:12:14.340 if anyone wants to look him up.

00:12:15.240 convicted rapist, Russell Brown.

00:12:20.120 I said this on State of Politics as well, and I'll say it again here, though.

00:12:25.940 I think, in my personal opinion,

00:12:29.840 it's quite easy not to get convicted of rape,

00:12:34.340 whether the allegations are true or not.

00:12:37.120 It's relatively easy not to find yourself in the dock for sex crime.

00:12:41.700 that crazy take

00:12:45.260 just don't do anything

00:12:48.220 that's even close to that

00:12:49.600 I mean Russell Brand

00:12:51.460 would accept

00:12:52.260 has accepted

00:12:52.780 absolutely

00:12:53.220 has said a number of times

00:12:53.960 that he had loads

00:12:55.060 and loads and loads

00:12:55.780 of sexual encounters

00:12:56.560 with people he'd just met

00:12:58.080 probably don't do that

00:12:59.440 probably don't do that

00:13:01.540 because you don't know

00:13:05.700 who they are

00:13:06.860 how mental they are

00:13:07.720 what they might make up

00:13:08.800 just lean into

00:13:09.940 the nativist concern

00:13:10.920 Keith Woods

00:13:11.380 end of the spectrum yeah they might do that to you yeah so probably don't do that if you are having

00:13:17.140 an experience with someone that you might not necessarily have met just met but you um there's

00:13:24.060 some sort of experience and there's any hint any hint whatsoever that they're not entirely

00:13:29.900 consensual immediately stop it's one way to guarantee you don't wind up in the dock charged

00:13:39.460 with sex crime isn't it because the the rape he's was convicted of was that she went there

00:13:46.400 consensually knowing what was going to happen they were having normal sex and then he decided

00:13:53.040 to go for the back door shall we say this is a kiddie show we've got to try and keep it as

00:13:59.640 clean as possible still already we've crossed that line haven't we and and that was what she said was

00:14:05.800 was rape

00:14:09.460 maybe have a conversation about that before you just do it maybe i oh god i don't know oh my god

00:14:16.520 oh my god

00:14:19.200 what can you say opinion is split both that he's obviously done it and that it's a complete

00:14:29.040 stitch up and he's obviously obviously not oh there you go i feel like i shouldn't have poisoned

00:14:36.440 well at the beginning with all the rumour bit then all the rumour thing about surrounding it

00:14:40.520 but then this well i mean it's just just a fact by justice there you go of course the papers

00:14:47.320 uh all just sort of gloating that he's in his guilty that he's been found guilty

00:14:52.280 there you go in the mirror justice brand found guilty of raping one woman and assaulting three

00:14:57.560 others sick predator he's a sick predator now he was their darling not too many years ago when he

00:15:03.000 And he was advocating on behalf of Ed Miliband and having a pop at people like Nigel Farage, who was their darling then.

00:15:09.100 But now he's a sick predator, set for years in jail and could face more rape charges.

00:15:15.440 That's one of the stories that there's another ongoing investigation into him now.

00:15:19.520 Two more women come forward, one who's 16 years old.

00:15:24.660 Is all that just a further stitch up? I don't know. 0.65

00:15:27.640 The Daily Express. It's a good paper. You can read your Express now.

00:15:31.360 predatory brand faces jail for sex crimes star guilty of one rape and three sexual assaults

00:15:38.160 after using fame to offend police confirm they're investigating further rape claims from two other

00:15:44.000 women okay one of the headlines talks about the political side of it let's read because most of

00:15:51.880 these headlines are the same thing basically let's get to that the daily telegraph the daily

00:15:55.460 torograph zionist uh german-owned zionist stop bbc enabled rapist brand that's one at one other

00:16:00.940 before i get onto that like stories that like a bit like jimmy savile that produces people higher

00:16:09.660 ups at the bbc just knew that's why i mentioned the rumor thing at the beginning like danger

00:16:16.460 leo kursk everyone knew for years for a long long time or knew i say knew everyone had heard the

00:16:25.180 rumors okay but now you can re-spin that re rebrand that as that the bbc enabled it well the

00:16:35.580 torograph are doing exactly that aren't they comedian faces lengthy jail sentence after being

00:16:40.380 found guilty of rape and sexual assaults broadcaster and bosses under pressure over tolerant attitude

00:16:45.900 to star's behavior two more charges being investigated by met including one related to a

00:16:50.060 a 16-year-old. I mean, if you're going to fly close to the sun the way Russell Brand

00:16:58.300 definitely did and completely admitted to, then maybe something like this is in your

00:17:02.720 future. Let's just say, for argument's sake, it is a stitcher. If you're going to fly that

00:17:08.400 close to the sun, then something like this may well happen to you, mightn't it? I mean,

00:17:15.660 i'm prepared to say i think russell brand was amoral there was a stand-up bit there was a

00:17:23.700 stand-up bit back back in the days when he used to do a bouffant back combed hair giant hair

00:17:28.000 there was a stand-up bit he did and it was a bit talking about how he was having sexual relations

00:17:35.560 with on a regular basis with a married woman and part of the bit was don't doesn't he feel

00:17:43.560 guilty about the husband and Russell Brand was like no that was not supposed to be the comedy

00:17:47.960 that was supposed to be funny the audience laughing he's like no I don't know him I don't

00:17:52.640 care about him if he'd had his relationship in order she wouldn't be sleeping with me

00:17:56.320 don't care about him ha ha ha ha pretty immoral pretty amoral in my opinion in my opinion am I

00:18:06.740 being, am I being over the top Puritan? I don't think so. There was one show he did,

00:18:14.080 it was one where he was travelling across America. I don't know if you ever saw that.

00:18:18.780 It was a show where he was travelling across America and it being documented. There was

00:18:22.980 one bit where he was trying to chat up a woman in a bar. And she's reasonably responsive 1.00

00:18:31.360 and flirting a bit back with him. But then he won't leave her alone. And after a while

00:18:35.780 she's like trying to almost get away from him and then there's like a clip where he's outside the

00:18:40.760 bar at the end of the night and she's sort of trying to get into a car trying to get into a

00:18:44.640 cab and he's like pleading with her no don't go come on come on love come on come back to my hotel

00:18:48.680 whatever that sort of thing come on come on come on i'm not saying that's that's not a crime is it

00:18:55.480 that's not certainly not a sex crime to do that to act like that it's a bit off though in my

00:19:02.620 opinion. This is my opinion. Again, am I being a Puritan? I'm not saying that's a sex crime for

00:19:07.080 those that are saying it's all a stitch-up branding or anything wrong. I'm just saying

00:19:09.540 it's a pattern of behaviour. This isn't one woman one time. It was nine different women over years

00:19:15.200 and years and years. It's a pattern of behaviour. And if you listened to the witness testimony 1.00

00:19:19.720 or read about it, it is a case of he said, she said, largely or entirely. No real physical

00:19:29.440 evidence um but again a pattern of behavior russell brown never claimed he didn't know

00:19:34.880 these women he's never met them he's just saying no these things happened in a toilet or something

00:19:41.920 but it was consensual as far as i was concerned as far as i remember

00:19:45.760 if they're reimagining it as non-consensual well that's on them but i didn't it wasn't

00:19:51.120 that was his defense for these things

00:19:52.480 Well

00:19:55.680 I would say to men out there

00:20:02.500 Just don't behave like that

00:20:03.940 Just don't behave like that

00:20:06.600 It's a bit

00:20:09.600 It's a bit gross

00:20:11.160 I think

00:20:12.880 Well

00:20:14.440 Well he has been convicted

00:20:16.720 By the court of law

00:20:18.960 if his appeal fails that's it he is a rapist

00:20:26.000 it reminds me and this is what i think so you've got a full-blown classic example of

00:20:37.120 just a completely evil rapist someone that maybe hides in the bushes in a park at night

00:20:43.080 grabs a random woman and then rapes her against her will like that

00:20:46.840 then you've got on the other end of the spectrum of how brutal it could be

00:20:51.860 something a bit more like brand or mike tyson's conviction the detail of mike tyson's conviction

00:20:56.880 roughly i won't get into the real real detail of it was that a woman consensually went back

00:21:02.100 to his hotel consensually went up to his hotel room consensually was ready mike tyson takes a

00:21:08.700 minute to go to the bathroom he comes out of the bathroom and just sort of jumps on her and does 0.75

00:21:13.960 what he's going to do real quick and then tells her to get out.

00:21:16.740 They're the details of the case.

00:21:18.640 She said that was

00:21:19.900 rape. Mike Tusser was like

00:21:21.940 what?

00:21:23.720 Okay, it was pretty, it was kind of brutal

00:21:25.800 and rough, but

00:21:26.680 how is that a rape?

00:21:31.360 Okay. 0.97

00:21:34.200 Some of the Russell Brand,

00:21:35.940 a lot of the Russell Brand testimony

00:21:38.000 was stuff like that, not exactly

00:21:39.960 that, but stuff like that. 0.99

00:21:41.500 She was really flirty, I asked her to go

00:21:43.840 like in a toilet with with me briefly or somewhere real quick or come around my house

00:21:48.160 and then i did something she wasn't ready for it's like that

00:21:58.960 don't behave like that i would say

00:22:04.240 being like normal wait till you're really really 100 sure she's up for stuff before you do stuff

00:22:14.620 It's a pretty good rule to live by.

00:22:19.660 Anyway, I'm sure that in the comments to this,

00:22:21.640 I'll get some stick on both sides.

00:22:25.100 Beau, why are you defending a sex criminal?

00:22:29.440 Or the other way.

00:22:31.400 Beau, why are you poisoning the well

00:22:33.180 and trying to paint him as a sex criminal

00:22:34.560 when he's obviously not?

00:22:36.800 I'll say it again.

00:22:37.980 I wasn't there.

00:22:38.820 I don't know one way or another.

00:22:40.180 the fact of the matter is a court has found him guilty and he'll probably face quite a few years

00:22:46.740 in prison all right it's gone 20 past is that enough about brand should i tell you a couple

00:22:54.360 of quick anecdotes of when i met him once once i remember oh no let's talk about the political

00:22:58.640 side actually something about stonewall gross stonewall worked with ministers to help draft

00:23:03.100 chilling trans law when they want to make it illegal for parents to try and talk their kids

00:23:06.160 Out of being trans

00:23:06.940 Stonewall

00:23:08.260 Urgh

00:23:08.960 In Bowes Britain

00:23:09.640 I get rid of Stonewall

00:23:10.440 Get rid of it

00:23:11.120 Along with the

00:23:12.200 Run of Media Trust

00:23:12.860 And Hope Not Hate

00:23:13.420 And all that stuff

00:23:13.920 Get rid of them 0.52

00:23:14.540 A blight on our society

00:23:15.960 Rapist Brand

00:23:17.820 More victims

00:23:18.700 Let's find the one where

00:23:20.240 Brand faces a significant term

00:23:21.800 Of rape

00:23:22.260 For rape and sexual assault

00:23:23.640 At the times

00:23:24.160 Brand found guilty of rape

00:23:25.360 The Mail

00:23:26.620 Yeah

00:23:26.940 Is it

00:23:27.680 Yeah

00:23:29.140 Yeah

00:23:29.480 In the Mail

00:23:30.040 In the Daily Fail

00:23:30.820 Look

00:23:31.720 Brand the Rapist

00:23:35.700 facing many years in jail

00:23:37.280 financial ruin

00:23:38.200 and new charges

00:23:39.140 downfall of the swaggering

00:23:40.540 sex predator 0.98

00:23:41.220 fawned over by the left 0.71

00:23:42.820 let's talk about this

00:23:43.540 quick five minutes on this

00:23:44.420 so

00:23:45.780 some say

00:23:46.920 don't they

00:23:47.380 that

00:23:49.340 because he came out

00:23:51.900 in the last handful of years

00:23:53.380 as

00:23:54.460 well

00:23:55.480 Christian

00:23:56.320 let's not talk about that element so much

00:23:58.420 I think that's entirely phony by the way

00:24:00.340 but who knows what's in his soul

00:24:01.740 politically

00:24:04.060 Over the last few years, a handful of years

00:24:06.820 Five years, more is it?

00:24:08.300 Maybe more like ten years

00:24:09.180 He's come out as, not as much as ten years

00:24:11.420 Last few years

00:24:12.100 He's come out as anti-globalist

00:24:14.700 Certainly anti-establishment

00:24:17.740 Heavily anti-establishment

00:24:19.260 So not really left-wing

00:24:22.740 The left are the establishment now, aren't they?

00:24:26.160 Anti-corruption

00:24:27.040 Some fairly pretty based stuff

00:24:30.740 Muscle brand, last few years

00:24:32.400 Before that though

00:24:34.020 He was hard

00:24:35.700 I won't say hard left

00:24:36.800 Sorry

00:24:37.020 That's not fair

00:24:37.500 He was very left

00:24:39.100 Very liberal

00:24:39.720 Let's say that

00:24:40.280 Very very liberal

00:24:40.900 Back in the very early 2000s

00:24:45.680 He did a documentary

00:24:46.440 As part of the Rebrand series

00:24:48.300 With Mark Collette

00:24:49.940 You know Mark Collette

00:24:50.920 Of

00:24:51.260 Patriotic alternative fame

00:24:54.220 I quite like Mark Collette

00:24:56.340 I haven't got a bad word

00:24:57.560 To say about Mark Collette

00:24:58.300 He's alright in my book

00:24:59.280 And he was

00:25:00.720 He was

00:25:01.500 At the time

00:25:02.480 Sort of the head of

00:25:04.020 around that time anyway, I don't know the exact chronology.

00:25:06.820 He was the head of the youth wing, the youth bit of the BNP, British National Party.

00:25:14.100 And Russell Brand did a documentary with him, like a half hour or hour long thing,

00:25:18.260 where, of course, of course, it's just an absolute hit piece on Mark and nationalism.

00:25:24.980 Russell Brand's the poster boy for Don't Be a Nazi.

00:25:28.820 I think the episode was actually called Nazi Boy.

00:25:34.020 Russell Brand was the ultra liberal, someone like Mark Collette is like an evil figure.

00:25:50.080 And was it Channel 4, or the BBC, sent him there to do a character assassination thing

00:25:55.580 on Mark Collette.

00:25:56.580 Okay, do you remember around the time Ed Miliband was running, was Ed Miliband running

00:26:03.340 against Cameron that one time.

00:26:07.520 Russell Brand was doing the trues,

00:26:09.520 if you remember that.

00:26:11.920 And he said, don't vote, don't vote.

00:26:13.900 And then at last minute,

00:26:14.880 Ed Miliband visited him in person.

00:26:18.060 And then a few days before the general election,

00:26:19.720 Russell Brand went on social media,

00:26:22.200 his large, very large social media following,

00:26:24.240 and said, no, actually, you should vote Labour.

00:26:26.340 Vote for Ed Miliband.

00:26:29.700 This is before his turn to the anti-establishment.

00:26:33.340 loads of other things remember he went on news night that time was it news night no question

00:26:38.360 time sorry question time nigel farage was on there and he called him what did he call him

00:26:43.360 like a poundland hitler or something i can't remember the exact phrasing he called him like

00:26:48.660 he called him like an ersatz nazi i'm definitely paraphrasing there that weren't those weren't the

00:26:53.780 words he used he called him a poundland something like a poundland ss or something i can't remember

00:26:58.740 what it was. He was just attacking Nigel as being completely beyond the pale and far,

00:27:03.260 far, far right. He's not using Nigel. Nigel's milk toast. It's far too right for Russell

00:27:12.720 Brand at that point. At that point. Okay. Since then, so he's very, very, very, very

00:27:18.280 liberal and lefty, Russell Brand. But then, since then, he had a, well, the male characterised

00:27:27.520 him as that he was formed over by the left if you remember yeah anyway in the last few years

00:27:35.340 decided both to go the was he actually born again did i see him get an adult baptism

00:27:41.300 anyway anyway whatever his stripe of christianity was i feel like that was performative but again

00:27:48.120 i don't know what's in his heart and soul uh who does uh he became quite anti-establishment was

00:27:55.480 talking about epstein and stuff talking about corruption across the world talking about

00:28:01.160 global cabals and all sorts of things quite based things and so now some people are saying

00:28:06.680 all of this is a stitch up in response to that that the deep state the establishment the swamp

00:28:13.640 the british swamp the global swamp need to take him down because it's too much for a dangerous

00:28:19.960 voice same sort of thing they say about um same thing they say about um andrew tate andrew tate's

00:28:27.240 just too much of a powerful man is just his voice and what he says is just too powerful for the

00:28:33.280 global elites to to stomach so they must destroy him i'm not sure i buy any of that certainly not

00:28:41.060 in the case of andrew tate i'm not sure if i buy any of that with russell brand maybe though maybe

00:28:48.020 not saying it's complete nonsense

00:28:50.220 and I know for a fact

00:28:51.240 that's not what's going on

00:28:52.360 no

00:28:52.700 but I don't think so

00:28:54.460 I think the reality of it

00:28:59.100 I'll just give my final opinion

00:29:00.080 I think the final reality of it

00:29:03.520 is that he was just

00:29:04.840 an aggressive womaniser

00:29:07.380 really aggressive

00:29:12.180 to the level of crime

00:29:14.320 don't know

00:29:15.760 the court decided yes

00:29:17.180 I think it's fair to say actually

00:29:20.300 I shouldn't couch it in such terms

00:29:23.100 It's pretty reasonable to say isn't it

00:29:26.040 That he was an aggressive womaniser

00:29:28.780 Did he do anything truly criminal

00:29:34.180 Don't know

00:29:34.860 I wasn't there

00:29:35.840 A court have decided yes 1.00

00:29:37.820 I doubt these women are making it up 1.00

00:29:40.840 Out of whole cloth 1.00

00:29:41.680 I doubt they are

00:29:42.560 Why'd they leave it 20 years

00:29:43.920 Loads of reasons why

00:29:44.920 There's loads of reasons why

00:29:47.180 oh they're just on the make they're just trying to destroy a rich man and get loads of his money

00:29:56.620 it's a criminal case not a civil case so what are you talking about that doesn't make sense

00:30:00.100 they're not they're not suing him for millions of pounds it's a criminal case

00:30:05.580 all right there you go all right well there you go there you go the downfall of a swaggering

00:30:14.340 sex predator not my words the son brand is guilty of string of sex assaults predator predator in

00:30:25.120 cells two more charges loom yeah so he was held on remand he might have got bail it was in the

00:30:31.600 judge's discretion i believe to allow him to go home on bail until his sentencing which is on

00:30:38.920 Monday set to be on Monday but the judge said no no no bail you'll have to go to the cells right

00:30:45.300 now and stay there so Brand is in prison right now and will stay there for probably between 8 and 15

00:30:54.300 years okay okay there you go just anyone's only listening to this just the giant headline on the

00:31:05.820 son just says rapist nothing else just rapist giant picture of brand giant letters rapist

00:31:12.640 be careful men be careful don't do anything with a woman unless you're a hundred percent sure

00:31:24.180 that she's she's consenting to it that's the world we live in now probably for the best is it

00:31:33.100 probably for the best the metro rapist brand caged he's been caged

00:31:41.280 star faces years in jail after guilty verdict to quickly tell the anecdotes of

00:31:45.540 when I when I mean once oh this is in the very early 2000s the first time he

00:31:49.900 was ever on TV but I was aware of I think he had a bit part in the bill

00:31:54.080 before that everyone had a bit part in the bill or not everyone not me most

00:31:59.880 people that go on to be famous you end you start with a bit part in East End

00:32:02.960 or the bill um first time i saw him on tv was mtv dance and what he would do weird this is weird

00:32:12.000 anyone remember this he would go to a club a nightclub in the late 90s early 2000s and he'd

00:32:18.560 go up to people that are clearly high probably on ecstasy pills clearly high wide-eyed jaw going

00:32:26.240 High as a kite

00:32:28.000 He'd go up to them with a mic

00:32:29.800 In the nightclub

00:32:30.540 And like gish gash them

00:32:32.760 You know gish gash

00:32:33.380 When you just talk really really fast

00:32:35.020 At someone bamboozlingly fast

00:32:36.800 With all sorts of funny weird concepts

00:32:39.580 Like Russell Brand

00:32:41.240 That's what Russell Brand was good at

00:32:42.360 Wasn't it gish gash

00:32:43.140 Just boom boom boom boom boom

00:32:44.280 So fast

00:32:45.300 With funny and even absurd things

00:32:50.540 And then put the mic in the face

00:32:52.540 Of the person that's high on ecstasy

00:32:54.240 In the nightclub

00:32:54.820 Who's not expecting that

00:32:55.940 And it just blows their mind

00:32:58.000 They can't handle it

00:32:58.660 They're just like

00:32:59.140 And they'll take the mic back

00:33:01.800 And do it again

00:33:02.240 It's kind of funny

00:33:03.540 It's kind of funny

00:33:05.040 That's the first time

00:33:05.700 I was ever aware of Brandy

00:33:06.760 Would do that

00:33:07.320 And anyway

00:33:08.420 Around that time

00:33:09.120 I was walking through

00:33:10.180 Where was it

00:33:11.040 Covent Garden

00:33:13.420 Was it Covent Garden?

00:33:14.580 I was walking near Covent Garden

00:33:15.940 And I just see him on the street

00:33:18.020 Interviewing

00:33:19.440 Some weird

00:33:21.320 Tall black tranny person

00:33:23.420 On the street

00:33:24.360 i don't know if it was for mtv dance i think it might have been a bit for rebrand that was coming

00:33:29.560 up soon so it must have been like 2001 2002 and as i walked by him i was with a girl as well

00:33:35.720 and as i walked by him i was like i didn't even break step but as i walked by interrupting what

00:33:40.800 he was saying i was like i know you you're mr mtv fast talker aren't you mate like that

00:33:44.820 in the middle of him trying to interview someone on camera and he just stopped what he was saying

00:33:50.620 i was like come over here mate come back come back i didn't stop walking he's like come back

00:33:53.820 come back i'll talk to you i'll talk to you i was like over my shoulder i was like no you'll make

00:33:57.460 me look stupid mate that's what you do and he's like no no i'll make myself look stupid come back

00:34:01.500 come back but i didn't want to do that because i was with a girl and he probably would make me

00:34:04.820 look stupid didn't want to look stupid in front of a girl when i'm like 20 years old

00:34:09.160 so that was the first my first interaction of two with mr brand was that a second time uh i was

00:34:19.060 working in london near oxford street and i saw just on the internet this was many years later

00:34:23.400 This must have been like the early 2010s at some point, I don't know.

00:34:27.200 Sometime around then, can't remember at all really.

00:34:29.420 And I just saw on the internet that morning that he's going to be at HMV on Oxford Street,

00:34:34.540 the giant HMV on Oxford Street.

00:34:36.360 I don't know if he's still there even.

00:34:38.340 And he was going to be there doing a signing.

00:34:40.320 He had like a new, I think a new stand-up show, like signing DVDs.

00:34:44.540 And I was like, oh, I quite like Russell Brand because I did think he was quite funny.

00:34:48.020 I'm not doing anything at lunchtime.

00:34:50.720 Like that's like 200 yards away from where I work.

00:34:52.960 i'll go down and see if i can why not rather than just sit at my desk eating a sandwich

00:34:58.660 i'll go down see if i can see russell brand literally nothing else to do at the lunch hour

00:35:03.860 so i went down there and there was two queues right to see him he's sitting at a desk at the

00:35:10.940 front and uh there's two queues one of all women and one of like about honestly about half a dozen

00:35:17.940 maybe 10 men that want to queue up to get your dvd signed by russell brand so i joined the queue

00:35:25.380 of the men and i got to the front really quickly within like three minutes suddenly i'm standing

00:35:31.760 before russell brand and uh he's a west ham fan as well isn't he and i'm west ham fan essex boys

00:35:39.100 east london essex i said something about west ham i can't remember if west ham were doing well or

00:35:43.940 bad probably bad i was like west ham are doing crap aren't they russell or something like that

00:35:47.400 And he's like, yeah, mate, yeah.

00:35:49.920 I said something to him like, if I recall, I can't remember the exact words.

00:35:54.200 I said something to him like, quite a pretentious thing to say,

00:36:00.320 but you're talking to Russell Brand, he's going to respond to me.

00:36:02.880 I said, if you found yourself king of the world, would you be just

00:36:06.720 or would you be a tyrant?

00:36:08.020 Something like that I said to him.

00:36:10.660 Trying to be clever.

00:36:14.040 I do remember his response, though.

00:36:15.720 I remember him, like, taking a moment to think about it.

00:36:17.940 Instead of immediately going boom, boom, boom, boom, like he does,

00:36:21.400 he, like, went...

00:36:24.400 And he thought, like, quite literally think, like,

00:36:26.400 performatively thinking about it for a few seconds.

00:36:29.900 And then he said something like,

00:36:32.300 I don't remember the exact words, but roughly something like,

00:36:35.180 yeah, I think I would be just.

00:36:36.760 I think I would be a just ruler, just king, or something like that.

00:36:40.340 And that was it.

00:36:40.740 And then you rush it off, and they get some woman up next.

00:36:43.400 It was an interaction of, like, one minute.

00:36:45.720 maybe 90 seconds they're the two times i met russell brand there you go there you go

00:36:52.780 and now unless his appeal is successful he will go down in history as a convicted

00:37:02.040 sex criminal rapist okay let's move on let's talk about some other stories

00:37:07.520 i've spent the whole show so far on this right rubio marco rubio the foreign secretary

00:37:13.120 sorry secretary of state the americans call it don't they the equivalent of a foreign secretary

00:37:17.840 rubio on resignation watch from trump cabinet after election route i was on the main podcast

00:37:24.080 of low seated yesterday wasn't i i did a section all about the finger pointing now after the

00:37:28.100 midterms people saying hegseth must go people enemies political enemies of trump and the

00:37:33.460 trump administration and the republican party saying you must fire hegseth trump going i'm

00:37:38.140 not going to fire hegseth so you must fire susie wiles trump going i'm not going to fire susie

00:37:42.100 wiles now it's rubio you've got a fire rubio jump come out say i'm not gonna do that

00:37:46.660 but look according to the independent rubio is on resignation watch

00:37:53.980 okay the eye paper here's one i think is it the only front page

00:38:00.660 i think there's only two that aren't full brand godfather of ai warns humanity it's all hurtling

00:38:09.820 out of control, he says. Nobel Prize winning scientist Jeffrey Hinton says humans soon won't

00:38:17.800 be the apex intelligence on earth. We're going to, this is him speaking now, we're going to have to

00:38:23.180 share the planet with something smarter than us. They're going to take over. They are a much better

00:38:28.640 form of intelligence. Very dangerous to let tech firm, to let tech chiefs Sam Alton, Elon Musk and

00:38:35.920 mark zuckerberg be responsible for the safety of this frontier technology he warns

00:38:41.440 nobel prize winning scientist jeffrey hinton warns they all seem to believe in tech feudalism

00:38:47.360 i wouldn't buy a used car from any of them hinton rejects comparison with atomic bomb creator

00:38:54.060 oppenheimer but regrets that he did not foresee how fast super intelligence would arrive i should

00:39:00.380 have thought about safety sooner, he says. Benefits could include curing diseases and

00:39:06.040 inventing new materials to harness solar energy. There you go, that was all from the iPaper

00:39:13.280 there. Superintelligence, we're not there, the technical definition of superintelligence,

00:39:20.460 but at some point, well, if you've ever watched the Beau show before, or Breakfast with Beau,

00:39:27.460 or the state of politics or the various things I do and I'm on other people's channels from time to time.

00:39:34.040 You'll know my feelings about AI.

00:39:35.960 I find it deeply concerning, deeply worrying if history is anything to go by.

00:39:43.140 If nothing else, even if it doesn't get out of hand and become dangerous in and of itself,

00:39:49.400 under the supervision and auspices of people like Sam Altman, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg,

00:39:54.820 At some point, it may well fall into the hands of people that are way more unscrupulous than them, if not out-and-out malevolent.

00:40:05.800 Then what?

00:40:07.180 What happens when some sort of truly evil and or malevolent actor is able to release a terribly destructive AI agent onto the internet?

00:40:21.920 And then who knows what?

00:40:24.820 It's almost inevitable, isn't it?

00:40:29.640 Is that not almost inevitable?

00:40:33.320 Well, don't say Uncle Bozy didn't warn you.

00:40:39.200 Okay, the Financial Times.

00:40:41.580 Bomb hoax, there's been more bomb hoaxes on aeroplanes in Europe.

00:40:45.800 Threats blight more planes.

00:40:49.400 Tech stocks plunge after the midterms.

00:40:54.820 oh and that's it that's it they're the papers they're the papers today there you go all right

00:41:01.940 should we have a look at the poll we do a poll on this point of the show don't we

00:41:06.900 little harry right 1600 plus 1600 and a half thousand votes 16 and a half thousand

00:41:14.820 1 650 plus votes roughly and climbing today we asked you do you think russell brand's

00:41:22.900 conviction is a stitch up let's see what the glorious band the chosen few have said the

00:41:30.260 results are the eyes have it you think it is it is a stitch up 48 of you say yes it is a stitch up

00:41:38.320 only 18 say no it's interesting a solid 33 say don't know if i was taking that poll i would

00:41:47.480 have clicked don't know. I would have hovered over yes and put don't know. Because I don't

00:41:52.980 know. It's the real truth, isn't it? It wasn't there. Nonetheless, 48% say yes it is. People

00:42:06.900 have strong feelings about this one way or another, don't they? They really do. I try

00:42:13.440 be fair-handed when it comes to fact what is or isn't fact the fact of the matter is i wasn't there

00:42:25.680 so don't know that's what the study of history is about that's my first training my undergrad is

00:42:34.080 history historiography the nature of history the nature of the study of history itself

00:42:40.480 historiography is this source a good source or not because you could say about all of history

00:42:46.400 wasn't there you weren't there you don't know yeah right exactly yeah yeah don't know how do

00:42:50.720 you know anything from history you've got to evaluate the sources how reliable is any given

00:42:57.520 source that's what the study of history is really historiography how reliable is herodotus

00:43:05.680 is Clarendon

00:43:09.860 is Edward Gibbon

00:43:12.380 how reliable is Suetonius

00:43:14.900 Tacitus

00:43:16.000 how reliable are these women

00:43:19.280 in the Russell Brand case 0.60

00:43:21.080 well

00:43:24.100 how reliable is Russell Brand

00:43:26.820 Russell Brand's version

00:43:28.240 because none of us were there

00:43:32.440 alright well okay

00:43:34.640 there you go

00:43:35.460 48% of you say it is a stitch up

00:43:37.640 Maybe

00:43:41.480 All I know is my gut says maybe

00:43:44.920 Alright

00:43:47.880 Okay it is now already quarter two

00:43:50.340 Let's move on to doing

00:43:52.260 On this day in history

00:43:53.480 I quite like doing that bit

00:43:55.100 We'll just have a quick look at some of the other stories

00:43:56.920 See if there's anything of note

00:43:59.320 What was there?

00:44:00.880 I thought I saw one or two stories

00:44:02.240 That was worth just mentioning in passing

00:44:04.800 It's water wool brand today

00:44:09.140 It's brand day

00:44:10.440 And we'll get it again on Tuesday no doubt

00:44:12.580 Because it's due to be sentenced on Monday day

00:44:16.220 Which means on the papers on Tuesday morning

00:44:19.460 It'll probably be water wool brand again

00:44:21.920 So be prepared for breakfast review on Tuesday

00:44:26.340 To be talking about brand again

00:44:28.220 I won't do the whole show about it like I did today

00:44:30.220 I'm not going to do that

00:44:31.840 No

00:44:32.680 Be prepared for his sentence

00:44:36.280 Okay, let's have a look on this day in history

00:44:39.260 Down through the centuries

00:44:40.600 What happened of note

00:44:41.540 Have a look, the 6th of November

00:44:44.220 The 6th of November, what have we got?

00:44:47.260 In the year 1813

00:44:48.740 The Mexican Congress declares independence from Spain

00:44:52.980 Yeah, that's interesting

00:44:55.540 Note that year, 1813

00:44:58.260 What was going on with Spain in 1813?

00:45:02.380 Anybody? Beulah? Beulah? Anybody? Pop quiz. In the Peninsula War, isn't it? Napoleon.

00:45:10.780 Napoleon and the French fighting, well, the Spanish, the Portuguese and the British in Spain.

00:45:18.000 So Mexico, Mexico think, of course, they don't like, they never liked Spanish rulership,

00:45:26.580 spanish hegemony anyway by 1813 they're like yeah we like spain at the moment kind of isn't even

00:45:33.220 really a thing almost you know i'm talking about their whole country is just in complete this way

00:45:38.500 they haven't even got a monarchy yeah we're just going to declare independence there's literally

00:45:43.860 nothing spain is going to do about it can do about it their country is in in complete chaos

00:45:49.940 well they've got um the abdications of bayon had already happened hadn't they that's earlier that's

00:45:56.180 what 1808 to 1809 think i've got long-form content about the peninsula war on my history

00:46:05.420 thing show bow day's epochs uh behind the paywall low seaters.com do consider sign up for as little

00:46:09.460 five pound a month bonds tier membership a body of work built up over more than five years

00:46:15.100 lit quite literally without exaggeration hundreds and hundreds of hours do you think i've got i

00:46:18.620 think i did a three in my long series about napoleon i think i spent three episodes long

00:46:23.320 form episodes just talking about the peninsular war and i've threatened for a long time to do go

00:46:27.120 revisit the peninsular war and do it in loads of detail 10 20 30 episodes just about the

00:46:33.480 peninsular war i'd love to do that i might do that at some point um by like 1808 is it 1809

00:46:40.900 you have what's called what history is remembered as the abdications of bayon

00:46:45.320 which is where napoleon goaded the spanish royal family most importantly the king and the

00:46:53.040 heir to the throne. What was it? Charles IV and Ferdinand. Ferdinand VII. He tricks them

00:47:02.820 into going to France, southern France, Bayon. He tricks them to go there where he's going

00:47:08.300 to talk to them. There'll be some sort of summit and they'll talk about French-Spanish

00:47:11.820 relations. And then he's just like, you're just prisoners now. You didn't trust old

00:47:17.240 napoleon did you schoolboy error never trust napoleon you're just you're just my prisoners

00:47:23.200 now that's the end of that there is no more spanish monarchy really effectively in fact

00:47:28.460 by 1813 joseph bonaparte is the king of spain napoleon just installs his own brother as that

00:47:36.720 he's the king of spain now so yeah mexico are like right we're yeah we're not going to be

00:47:44.200 Spanish anymore. We're our own thing. Thanks. Thanks. But by 1813 the tide has turned against

00:47:51.880 Napoleon and his marshals in the peninsula. The peninsula is Spain and Portugal. Already

00:47:59.180 was it like the Battle of Victoria? A number of things. By 1813 already what we've had

00:48:05.560 And like the siege of Badios and Cied Rodrigo and Britain, along with the Spanish and Portuguese

00:48:16.340 allies, is already winning in Spain by 1813.

00:48:20.380 It's not over yet.

00:48:26.480 But...

00:48:26.920 Okay.

00:48:28.660 What else we got?

00:48:30.040 Spent too long on that.

00:48:31.200 Don't give me a chance to talk about the Peninsula War.

00:48:33.280 I'm going to ramble on.

00:48:35.360 Okay, on this day in 1860, Republican Abraham Lincoln of Illinois,

00:48:41.540 the Illinois rail splitter, Honest Abe,

00:48:43.740 is elected as the 16th president of the United States of America.

00:48:49.360 Precipitating the Civil War.

00:48:51.140 Because everyone knew that Lincoln was going to be the president

00:48:56.980 which would not stand for secession.

00:49:00.120 the southern states seceding

00:49:02.980 from the republic

00:49:04.860 everyone knew that ahead of time

00:49:08.280 so his election

00:49:11.080 meant it was some sort of civil conflict

00:49:14.960 whether it was going to be a years long civil war

00:49:17.420 which ended in a few million people dying

00:49:20.540 a few million men died in this American civil war

00:49:23.780 everyone knew that the election of Abraham Lincoln

00:49:27.220 was going to tip the republic over some sort of precipice.

00:49:33.300 Okay.

00:49:34.780 On this day in 1913,

00:49:37.540 Indian civil rights activist Gandhi, the great Mahatma,

00:49:42.440 is arrested for leading an Indian miners' march in South Africa.

00:49:46.240 Yeah, oh yeah.

00:49:47.860 Meddling solicitor Mahatma Gandhi.

00:49:50.920 I've called him that in the past.

00:49:52.880 Meddling solicitor Mahatma Gandhi.

00:49:54.660 He lived in South Africa and was in South Africa

00:49:57.600 For a big chunk of his life

00:49:58.780 Fomenting unrest and being a pain in the arse

00:50:05.120 To the authorities wherever he went

00:50:06.700 Also like to sleep with his child niece

00:50:16.540 What?

00:50:21.520 That's a matter of record

00:50:22.800 He talked about it openly

00:50:24.540 Oh, and beating his wife up.

00:50:26.940 Openly talk about how, yeah, oh yeah, if your wife gets out of hand,

00:50:29.840 yeah, you knock her down.

00:50:31.460 Yeah.

00:50:33.260 Nice guy.

00:50:36.860 When I say sleep with his niece, like 12, 13-year-old niece,

00:50:39.720 I do mean sleep as well, not sex.

00:50:41.660 He said, this is weird.

00:50:42.600 How weird is this?

00:50:44.820 The rationale for that was, look how pure I am.

00:50:48.540 I can sleep next to a 13-year-old and not do anything to her.

00:50:52.540 That's proof

00:50:53.600 How pure and good I am

00:50:55.100 I shouldn't have said that

00:50:55.940 In the first person

00:50:56.540 Should I

00:50:56.900 Gotta be careful

00:51:00.620 Saying things in the first person

00:51:01.920 Gandhi argued

00:51:05.040 That he could sleep

00:51:06.760 Next to

00:51:07.180 It's too late now isn't it

00:51:08.400 That he could sleep

00:51:10.500 Next to a 13 year old

00:51:11.360 And not do anything to her

00:51:12.520 And isn't that proof

00:51:13.520 Of how good he is

00:51:14.520 Weird bro

00:51:16.140 Weird

00:51:16.840 Weird

00:51:18.160 Yeah also 1.00

00:51:20.820 Knocked his wife about

00:51:21.720 also argued such a pacifist

00:51:25.260 that he argued that Britain

00:51:27.080 specifically Britain as well

00:51:28.400 should just let the Nazis invade

00:51:31.420 in the long hot summer of 1940

00:51:32.940 we shouldn't fight back

00:51:34.880 just let them invade

00:51:35.760 and if they do anything wrong

00:51:37.200 and oppressive and evil

00:51:38.160 and murderous to you

00:51:39.320 well the universe will judge them

00:51:41.980 as the baddies in all of this

00:51:43.320 but you should just open your doors to them

00:51:45.380 how about no Gandhi

00:51:47.460 you psycho

00:51:48.480 how about no freak

00:51:51.060 Okay, moving on

00:51:54.800 I'll put a statue up to him in Parliament Square, why not?

00:52:00.760 Okay, on this day in 1917

00:52:02.580 the Bolshevik Revolution begins

00:52:04.260 with the bombardment of the Winter Palace

00:52:06.300 in Petrograd during the Russian

00:52:08.880 October Revolution

00:52:10.380 Petrograd is

00:52:11.560 Petersburg

00:52:13.020 St. Petersburg

00:52:14.680 St. Petersburg

00:52:14.780 St. Petersburg

00:52:16.780 St. Petersburg

00:52:17.180 Leningrad

00:52:18.780 Leningrad

00:52:19.660 It's all the same place

00:52:21.720 If I ever visited Russia, I'd like to visit St. Petersburg.

00:52:25.760 I'd go there rather than Moscow.

00:52:27.400 If I only got one trip to Russia, I'd go there.

00:52:29.340 I'd love to see the Winter Palace, a Tsarist palace,

00:52:32.400 which is now the Hermitage, and it's now like a museum.

00:52:35.520 Very few people died, actually, in the October Revolution.

00:52:38.680 I mean, a few. I mean, a few dozen or a few hundred, even.

00:52:41.540 But as far as revolutions go, toppling the regime of a giant country like Russia.

00:52:48.780 Well there you can see

00:52:51.220 I'm not saying there was no casualties

00:52:52.900 You can see in that image

00:52:54.000 I'm not saying there was no casualties

00:52:55.440 I'm saying relatively speaking

00:52:56.960 Well there was a civil war straight after

00:53:00.640 That lasted until like 1922 or something

00:53:02.820 In which millions of people died

00:53:05.400 Between 7 and 12 million odd

00:53:07.560 Something like that

00:53:08.040 No one really knows the numbers

00:53:08.880 Millions and millions of people died in that civil war

00:53:11.040 But the October revolution itself

00:53:14.000 Not that bloody in the scheme of things

00:53:17.260 because they're not overthrowing the czar are they they're overthrowing the kerensky government

00:53:22.460 two very different things the czar had abdicated earlier in the year like the february revolution

00:53:27.460 there's two revolutions in 1917 do you think i've got long-form content about this

00:53:30.980 do you think i've got long-form content about all this sort of stuff oh yeah of course i have yeah

00:53:35.220 so the czar is already gone and his regime is already gone there's now a provisional supposed

00:53:41.360 to be provisional civilian government led by a man called kerensky and that was shaking

00:53:47.200 and topple because kerensky didn't end world war one that's what the russians really wanted

00:53:51.440 and end to world war one when kerensky didn't do that so the bolsheviks and lenin come along saying

00:53:59.680 well the things we promise you are bread and peace basically didn't say the other stuff he was going

00:54:07.200 going to do. All right, got long-form content about the end of the Tsar, about the end of the

00:54:16.100 Tsar, about Russia in general, about World War I in the East, and about Lenin. I've talked about

00:54:21.420 it more than once. Fascinating little bit of history. Obviously, a massive pivotal turning

00:54:27.920 point, an axis upon which the fulcrum of history has turned. You should know about it, really.

00:54:37.360 It's one of the things, even as a younger man, or a child, a teenager, it's one of the things

00:54:42.800 I was fascinated in, the Bolshevik revolution. All right, and the last one here, on this day,

00:54:49.760 1978, the Shah of Iran, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, places the country under military rule,

00:54:56.160 allowing General Golan Raza

00:54:59.420 Azhari to form a government.

00:55:02.300 So if you notice there,

00:55:04.300 we're in November 1978

00:55:06.000 and the Islamic Revolution,

00:55:08.020 I believe, is February 1979.

00:55:09.600 So it's a last-ditch attempt

00:55:11.820 for the Shah

00:55:13.760 to keep control of his country.

00:55:17.640 If you look at the details of it,

00:55:19.680 the actual historical details,

00:55:23.340 it was a long time coming.

00:55:25.220 Not necessarily a full-blown Islamic revolution

00:55:27.620 Like Shia

00:55:28.560 It's the Shia, aren't they?

00:55:30.400 Yeah, Shia Islamic revolution

00:55:31.580 But some sort of giant social upheaval

00:55:35.860 Was long in the making in Iran

00:55:39.440 Persia as was

00:55:40.540 Okay, the Shah tried to hold on to power

00:55:46.700 In the last ditch effort

00:55:47.800 By placing the country under military rule

00:55:50.240 Didn't work, ultimately, did it?

00:55:55.220 Okay, some people to this day want the return of his son, don't they?

00:56:00.200 There's another Pahlavi, the old Shah's son.

00:56:05.760 But when it came to it, do you remember earlier in the year

00:56:08.600 with this new war in Persia, people saying, to Trump even,

00:56:13.880 what about the old Pahlavi, get him?

00:56:19.900 Because people said, if the regime does fall in Persia,

00:56:23.180 you've got to have something to replace it, right?

00:56:24.420 You're not going to do a Saddam Hussein 2003 thing

00:56:27.220 and just have a power vacuum, are you?

00:56:28.900 What plan have you got for the next regime

00:56:30.660 if you want to remove this regime?

00:56:32.980 They're like, oh, well, we're looking at options.

00:56:35.820 People say, what about Pahlavi, Pahlavi Jr.?

00:56:39.020 And Trump was like, Trump was very,

00:56:40.640 and Rubio were very, very standoffish about that.

00:56:43.700 They didn't say, absolutely not under any circumstances

00:56:46.240 he's not Al-Ghaya.

00:56:47.280 They didn't say that, but they were like, maybe.

00:56:50.400 They said things like, we're not sure,

00:56:52.080 we don't think he's necessarily the best option.

00:56:54.000 they would say stuff like that they didn't rule it out categorically but they were pretty

00:56:58.640 cold on it they were pretty like not really i don't think so actually

00:57:04.160 all right all right that's on this day in history let's look at uh our rumba rants that's next up

00:57:10.800 isn't it on the completely arbitrary order of battle i've made up for myself on breakfast we

00:57:16.720 next thing we do every morning is the is the rumble rants is global church history going to

00:57:26.320 be in at number one mr. history first name global middle name church is it going to be a good day

00:57:32.480 yes and still raining defending undisputed global church history in at number one today's a good

00:57:44.700 day okay he usually gives us a couple of uh history factoids on this day in history stuff

00:57:49.480 doesn't he uh and what have we got here okay he says today in 335 ad saint athanasius arrives in

00:57:57.160 tyre where he would be cleared of heresy but found guilty of treason and exiled

00:58:01.980 bo surely you don't know about some random guy from 335 ad called athanasius of alexandria who

00:58:11.860 was sent to time surely you're not going to claim you know all about that yeah i am yeah

00:58:16.260 yeah i know all about that it's right out my alley in fact classic stuff in fact well i've

00:58:23.520 done a uh long form a few series episodes about constantine constantine the first constantine

00:58:29.180 the great i think what i might do is follow edward gibbon's lead and then talk about the

00:58:35.040 religious aspect in the fourth century the christian religion aspect of the roman empire

00:58:41.040 in the fourth century AD. Big part of that, giant part of that, is what's known as the

00:58:47.940 Arian Controversy. There was one guy, a bishop, I think he was a bishop of Alexandria as well,

00:58:54.680 wasn't he? Anyway, Arius. There's the Arian Controversy. And Athanasius was his arch enemy,

00:59:03.160 arch rival. What is the Arian Controversy, you ask? It's over the nature of Christ,

00:59:10.620 basically is christ a man he's just a human man he's not human he's divine he's some sort of divine

00:59:19.740 more than human being but not actually god he's not actually the same thing as god one and the

00:59:29.180 same substance as god or he is jesus christ in the form of a human man came down to earth but

00:59:37.980 is god he is god arguing about that that's the arian controversy arian arias arias said no he's

00:59:48.460 he's not god he had he had a beginning and he's not the same substance as god

00:59:57.580 someone like athanasius says no that's wrong he is he is constantine the great says look we're

01:00:03.500 We're going to all come together, sort this out at Nicaea, the Nicaean creed,

01:00:07.080 where they decide, well, the Nicaean creed,

01:00:10.900 Jesus and God are one and the same thing.

01:00:13.500 They're the same substance, they're the same thing.

01:00:17.840 So Arius doesn't give up the argument.

01:00:24.140 He doesn't care that Constantine and the Nicaean creed says he's wrong.

01:00:27.560 well Athanasius was his arch enemy his arch rival theologically he's Athanasius is pro

01:00:36.740 the Nicene Creed anyway over the next few decades the controversy just goes on and on and on because

01:00:42.480 even though Constantine has said this is the one correct answer people across the whole world

01:00:47.960 ancient world just didn't all agree on it all at once

01:00:53.160 there you go anyway the life of athanasius himself is one of those lives that is fascinating

01:01:04.800 really long he lived to be quite old and where different emperors came along like constantine

01:01:10.300 i'm sorry constantius ii constantine's son the next emperor after constantine

01:01:15.340 and then what you've got uh what have you got julian the apostate and then what valens anyway

01:01:22.680 You live so long that the controversy keeps going on and on.

01:01:27.500 To this day, you can find people, theologians,

01:01:29.760 arguing about the Aryan controversy.

01:01:32.100 To this day, you can find people arguing about it.

01:01:35.120 Okay, so in the 4th century AD,

01:01:37.540 it wasn't just immediately settled and everyone agreed.

01:01:41.160 And different emperors had different ideas about it.

01:01:43.860 And so Aryan and Athanasius sometimes were

01:01:46.440 either at the pinnacle of the early church

01:01:49.980 and extremely powerful, like a patriarch of Alexandria or something,

01:01:54.680 or they're on the run for their life.

01:01:56.860 They're in exile and they're branded as heretics,

01:01:59.840 and if they were caught, they may well just be executed by the state and stuff.

01:02:03.140 That's the story of Athanasius.

01:02:04.520 For 17 years on and off, he's sort of hiding,

01:02:08.260 then going back to the heights of power,

01:02:10.340 and then going to hiding again, fleeing for his life.

01:02:15.920 Sometimes just getting really close to being caught,

01:02:18.240 but just not getting caught.

01:02:19.980 fascinating life athanasius the chapter or chapters in edward gibbons the kind of

01:02:26.860 fall of the roman empire on that uh it's a great yarn it's a great story okay that's enough about

01:02:33.900 the arian controversy of the fourth century for for now that's enough theology for one morning

01:02:37.900 isn't it the other factor global church history gives us says in 1153 the treaty of wallingford

01:02:44.060 ended the anarchy. Or the Treaty of Winchester, you might call it.

01:02:53.300 Do you think that on my own History Channel, History Bro, I've got long-form content talking

01:02:57.180 about the anarchy? Yeah, it's there. What is the anarchy? What anarchy? What do you mean

01:03:01.240 the anarchy? Well, in England, in the 12th century, there was a period of anarchy. After

01:03:09.840 henry i dies who's the youngest son of william the conqueror after he dies without a male heir

01:03:15.120 he did have a male heir but that male heir died in a boating accident the white ship a ship is

01:03:21.360 crossing the channel from normandy to britain and the ship sunk and most people couldn't swim in

01:03:25.120 those days and it was dark and a storm anyway and he died so henry the first only had a daughter

01:03:30.240 who could inherit the throne people didn't take kindly to female monarchs in the 12th century

01:03:36.560 anyway her name was matilda or mauled depends if you want to anglicize the name or not 0.81

01:03:42.320 she'd been married to the holy roman emperor briefly before he died of natural causes

01:03:46.400 but after he died she still styled herself an empress anyway she was supposed to be the

01:03:53.120 queen of england after henry the first dies he did die of course she becomes the empress matilda

01:04:00.160 a stroke queen of England, and the powerful men, the powerful magnates of the time are

01:04:08.140 like, nah, I don't think so. We've got one of your cousins, Stephen, Stephen of Blois

01:04:13.220 in France. We're going to bring him over. He's going to be king. King Stephen. Yeah,

01:04:18.500 there's been a King Stephen of England. Only ever been one. But she did have a powerful

01:04:24.860 faction of people that were loyal to her. And he had quite a powerful faction of people

01:04:29.520 loyal to him and so there's basically a civil war for ages as well 15 20 years 20 years there's

01:04:36.260 basically some sort of civil war a slow burn civil war that's gone down in history as the anarchy

01:04:42.180 because it was largely anarchic those people starving to death the fields not being tilled

01:04:47.880 and so people starve to death all sorts of stuff that's the anarchy it was finally resolved when

01:04:54.760 and one of Matilda's sons, a Henry.

01:05:00.020 Was he a son?

01:05:01.020 Yeah, he was a son, wasn't he?

01:05:02.420 Yeah, Henry.

01:05:03.200 Henry II, Henry Plantagenet, Henry of Anjou,

01:05:08.820 comes over to England and wins.

01:05:11.040 In the end, basically, just long story short,

01:05:13.000 wins for her faction.

01:05:15.620 She's not going to be queen anymore.

01:05:17.720 She's sidelined.

01:05:18.260 He's going to be the king.

01:05:20.520 Henry Plantagenet,

01:05:21.320 beginning the the the angevin empire i think i've got long form content all about that he's the dad

01:05:28.340 of he's the father of richard the first richard the lionheart the coeur de lion and prince john

01:05:32.900 king john he's their dad so the treaty of wallingford yeah that's where they sat down

01:05:40.860 they did a treat they said look stephen you can still be king until you die but your sons

01:05:46.320 like William and Eustace

01:05:48.480 we're going to disinherit them

01:05:50.400 you can still be king until you die

01:05:52.240 but after that I, Henry II

01:05:54.360 Henry Plantagenet, Henry of Anjou

01:05:55.740 are going to be the next king

01:05:57.080 that's how this is going to work

01:05:58.300 they signed it

01:06:00.600 disinheriting Stephen's sons

01:06:02.420 and Stephen gets to be king

01:06:05.740 for as long as he lived

01:06:06.860 quite suspiciously died

01:06:09.500 within about a year

01:06:10.560 of natural causes

01:06:12.620 he had some sort of stomach complaint

01:06:13.860 or he was poisoned by the monks of Dover

01:06:16.220 Who knows

01:06:17.480 What happened to Eustace

01:06:20.660 Maybe poisoned by some monks

01:06:23.880 Don't know

01:06:24.420 But he died quite quickly

01:06:25.680 And that's the end of an anarchy

01:06:29.280 And a new golden age

01:06:30.520 Of Andrevin Plantagenet rule

01:06:32.320 Do you want much more detail?

01:06:35.400 Do you want like an hour and a half

01:06:36.260 Or more detail of all that stuff?

01:06:38.780 Go on my channel History Bro

01:06:39.680 Check it out

01:07:05.440 and it's very easy to move it between one screen and another,

01:07:08.300 but somehow my boomer hands can't always do it properly.

01:07:12.400 Anyway, I'm good now.

01:07:12.980 All right, next one.

01:07:14.100 That's their name, says...

01:07:45.160 Posted in comments

01:07:47.200 Okay yeah

01:07:49.260 Not so obvious

01:07:50.680 Mark he's a friend of the show

01:07:51.760 And he's been on

01:07:52.200 I've met him on other times

01:07:53.040 He's a great lad

01:07:53.620 Lad?

01:07:54.740 Full grown man

01:07:55.320 Probably older

01:07:55.920 He's about my age

01:07:57.000 Maybe a bit younger actually

01:07:58.480 Anyway he's good

01:08:00.000 I like him

01:08:00.400 I really like him

01:08:01.080 Yeah I really like him

01:08:02.540 And the Basket Weavers

01:08:03.600 Is a great thing isn't it

01:08:04.760 A great thing really

01:08:06.040 Okay

01:08:07.800 Just trying to get people together, IRL.

01:08:10.760 Holson, great.

01:08:13.920 I'd have Not So Obvious on the breakfast show if he wants to come on.

01:08:17.240 I'll DM him later, ask him if he wants to do that.

01:08:20.480 You're a great bloke.

01:08:22.840 Bloody great bloke.

01:08:25.560 Okay, the next two are from Pigdog5150, who says,

01:08:30.380 Brand may have repented of his sins.

01:08:32.800 That's between him and God.

01:08:34.860 My arse, he hasn't committed some sex crimes.

01:08:37.760 However, dot, dot, dot, it's definitely a political prosecution.

01:08:42.500 Establishments see him as a traitor.

01:08:44.340 Yeah, I mean, maybe all those things you've said there are right.

01:08:47.280 Quite possibly.

01:08:50.180 It's both the case that he has acted in poor judgment

01:08:55.800 and it's a political prosecution.

01:09:00.880 Yeah.

01:09:03.820 Okay, the next one is from you again.

01:09:05.560 and you've said that's the balance view in my opinion yeah me too i guess yeah yeah same with

01:09:11.560 waco david oh i'm going to talk about waco again david koresh was a sex pervert and rapist

01:09:17.760 terrible cult however a terrible cult full stop however u.s fed agents are murderers

01:09:25.020 koresh should be despised but so should the feds yeah that's reasonable that was what i was saying

01:09:30.760 in my long form bit of content about waco i was that's what i was saying people didn't like it

01:09:34.420 though. I guess the Adventists, the Seventh-day Adventists, didn't like any criticism. There's

01:09:40.560 no doubt David Koresh was a wrongun. No doubt. But also, it does seem like the FBI and the

01:09:49.320 ATF acted like psychos. Yeah, both those things. Yeah. Yeah. Piktok 5150, the voice of reason

01:09:59.700 this morning and most mornings okay next one and end anti-whitism says i don't believe rape

01:10:07.920 accusations anymore whatever

01:10:10.800 okay russell was targeted for turning for turning into a conservative and challenging the system

01:10:19.960 conor mcgregor also wrongly accused by lucy goosey modern women liar yeah modern women do

01:10:27.440 liar not just modern all people of every stripe and gender and age liar that doesn't mean

01:10:37.200 though does it that some sometimes might not be you're saying all modern women are incapable of

01:10:44.640 telling the truth always well no no who knows you weren't there were you dude you weren't there nor was i 1.00

01:10:57.440 Maybe these women in this case are just lying. 1.00

01:10:59.560 Yeah, maybe.

01:11:00.200 I'm not ruling that out.

01:11:01.100 I won't rule that out.

01:11:03.060 Nor am I going to rule out that they're not.

01:11:06.320 They might not be.

01:11:07.540 Sex crime is a real thing. 0.97

01:11:09.180 You say no woman can ever be the victim of a sex crime.

01:11:11.760 What are you saying?

01:11:12.740 I don't believe rape accusations anymore.

01:11:15.020 Whatever.

01:11:17.360 Think about what you're saying a bit there, mate.

01:11:20.340 I don't have a problem.

01:11:20.940 I'm not trying to have a go at you.

01:11:22.080 I'm talking to all the people that are saying this effectively.

01:11:24.020 are you saying they're never capable of telling the truth nothing bad ever happens to them

01:11:29.640 i don't think that's a reasonable position all right let's move on pig dog 5150 says basically

01:11:37.620 christian morals get married to one person and only have sex with them and be kind and consider

01:11:42.860 and loving simple really yeah straightforward straightforward i think it's very easy not to

01:11:49.820 find yourself in the dock accused of sex crime in the final reckoning all right the next two

01:11:55.000 also and end anti-whitism who says feminism and this pathetic western modern gynocentric 1.00

01:12:01.120 feminocracy feminarchy have overly empowered women that so far that's relatively reasonable 0.89

01:12:09.960 thing to say they can falsely accuse men of sex assault after one regret two changing their mind 1.00

01:12:15.780 Three, feeling revenge or anger

01:12:17.700 I mean, that's true

01:12:18.420 That's a reasonable thing to say

01:12:20.540 I think

01:12:21.860 Earlier on where you just said

01:12:24.320 I don't believe rape accusations anymore

01:12:27.900 Full stop 1.00

01:12:28.360 Modern women lie, full stop 1.00

01:12:31.080 That's a bit too far 1.00

01:12:32.520 But what you said there

01:12:33.460 You're right

01:12:34.920 You can falsely accuse men

01:12:37.980 Just because you regret what you did

01:12:39.520 Or you've changed your mind

01:12:40.320 Or you've got anger and revenge in your heart

01:12:42.520 That's true

01:12:43.060 That's true

01:12:45.520 all right and the next one is my friend's ex claimed rape one week after their breakup because

01:12:51.800 and then you've got air quotes he didn't ask for consent even though there were many non-verbal

01:12:57.920 cues that said yes it was pure feminine rage and revenge period well that's an unfortunate

01:13:03.440 situation isn't it if all of that's true and i'm not saying it's not that's bad and really

01:13:09.820 unfortunate. That doesn't mean, though, does it, that some other women are actually raped,

01:13:16.100 does it? You can't extrapolate that out to every woman that makes any accusation, can

01:13:28.500 you? That's not reasonable. That's not fair. It's not right. All right. Next one is, that's

01:13:36.440 their name again who says re-sexual assault allegations making sure it's certain when my 1.00

01:13:41.360 parents divorced my mum used sa and domestic violence as a futile attempt to win even marriage

01:13:48.820 wasn't enough to avoid sa accusations yeah i'm not saying it's not prevalent false accusations 0.99

01:13:54.560 okay two more from end anti-whitism who says who says ever noticed this phenomenon of women

01:14:05.860 falsely accusing men is predominantly white women it's almost as if anti-whitism has ruined our

01:14:10.980 western norms ruined the natural order and ruined female femininity another another thing i would

01:14:17.060 agree with broadly speaking yeah yeah i'd agree with you there final one from end anti-whitism

01:14:23.940 this morning says anti-whitism is an attack on western norms it makes men feminine and weak and

01:14:31.220 white-guilted and makes our white women combative, unruly and not feminine. White men, stop submitting

01:14:36.840 to women. It's pathetic. You don't allow yourself to be browbeaten by anyone, man or

01:14:42.120 woman. Don't have other people tell you what to think and what to do and what to say.

01:14:50.640 Okay. Belgians are evil, trust me. That's their name. Act Belgians are evil, trust me.

01:14:55.380 The next four, the last four, are all from you. So if I whip through them, it's already

01:15:00.480 quarter past nine you've put cps putting quotas for sa case under alison saunders yeah that's

01:15:06.580 ridiculous isn't it that's ridiculous that's terrible quotas mad and then you put idea is

01:15:14.160 easy to avoid sa accusations is actually not accurate i don't think so same woke poison that

01:15:19.520 led to henry novak death is also affects sa prosecutions that's true i think it is easy to

01:15:26.600 have wed them in my experience in my okay all right next one is from you again says speak to

01:15:34.700 any family solicitor and if honest they will tell you about the extreme rate of false sa and other

01:15:39.260 claims against fathers ex-husbands to maximize child custody decisions and divorce settlements

01:15:44.320 for dollars yeah that's also a thing isn't it yeah yeah yeah i'm not going to say that's not

01:15:54.360 true you're making that up because you're not are you true yeah okay then you put essay cases in

01:16:01.880 uk do not require corroboration unlike other crimes they specifically legislated to make

01:16:07.300 essay convictions easier legal system is not fair at all especially when political targets are

01:16:11.980 selected yeah i believe that's true as well these are statements of fact um and then last one says

01:16:18.860 Brett Kavanaugh was a choir boy

01:16:20.900 And look what Christy Bleasley Ford alleged

01:16:23.220 Trump forced to pay nearly

01:16:25.280 A hundred million dollars to insane attention seeker

01:16:27.740 And UK gives lifetime

01:16:29.220 Anonymity and compensation

01:16:30.600 So financial incentive

01:16:32.260 Yeah those things are true as well aren't they

01:16:33.940 But that one with Trump

01:16:37.540 Do you remember the details of that

01:16:38.740 That's a good example of blatantly

01:16:41.000 Seems like a blatantly false allegation

01:16:43.200 Where it was like

01:16:45.580 Trump was like I don't think I've ever met you

01:16:47.780 Or if I have, it's in passing at some book signing in a bookshop

01:16:50.460 I certainly didn't do any sex crime against you

01:16:54.840 But the courts, that's a stitch-up

01:16:56.780 They're like, yes, you did

01:16:57.520 You can't really prove you didn't, so we're saying you did

01:17:01.100 That's a civil case

01:17:03.560 Now you pay up

01:17:04.600 I'm not saying false accusations aren't a thing

01:17:11.640 I'm not

01:17:12.280 What I'm saying is to take that to the extreme

01:17:16.440 as end anti-whiteism did earlier,

01:17:20.080 then he just simply doesn't believe any rape allegations.

01:17:24.080 That's taking that too far though, isn't it?

01:17:26.540 Isn't it?

01:17:28.140 All right.

01:17:30.060 Okay, let's have a look at the Rumble Rants.
