00:01:10.160 from all over the world people from slovenia the east coast the west coast of america all over the

00:01:16.200 place all right there's plenty of faffing about though for one morning isn't it need really for

00:01:23.580 that fannying around let's just get straight into it this show is all about what's in the uh

00:01:28.620 what's in the ye olde news cycle on any given day so let's have a look what have we got what's the 0.81

00:01:33.740 legacy corporate lamestream media banging on about this morning what's that cabal of evil fleet

00:01:37.180 street editors trying to tell you is or isn't important we've got tourists to end social

00:01:42.700 housing for foreigners you had 14 years to do something like that didn't you now you're getting 0.87

00:01:48.220 based about it are you don't trust them don't believe them and bottoms down you know sometimes 1.00

00:01:58.600 if you have a drink someone might say bottoms up the bottom of the glass up bottoms up drink up

00:02:02.820 finish your drink well there's a story that at least i think in westminster specifically

00:02:08.280 westminster council just one bit of central london talk that they might want to try and put some sort

00:02:14.780 ban on standing at the bar ordering drinks at a bar and standing at the bar and drinking

00:02:22.060 don't understand the rationale the reason why would you anyway bottoms down you've got to sit

00:02:28.780 down to drink bottoms down you get it you get you get it you get it okay the daily telegraph

00:02:34.540 the torograph pretty much pure slop um you remember that story about that black cambridge

00:02:40.300 professor that's just completely disgraced and now resigned because he seems to be a complete 0.99

00:02:43.500 Walter Mitty, just a complete liar on many, many levels. Or they have to fly in another

00:02:49.100 black person to give his take on it. The irony of that is a symptom of the left's corruption 0.97

00:02:55.500 of excellence. Tommy Werr Orlade tells us. Yeah, okay, okay, okay mate, okay mate. Right.

00:03:06.460 Is to end social housing 1.00

00:03:08.340 For foreigners

00:03:09.120 More than 230,000

00:03:12.440 Face eviction under Badenoch's

00:03:14.460 Plans to end quote cash machine

00:03:16.320 UK quote well 0.98

00:03:18.020 She's nowhere near power both in terms 1.00

00:03:22.420 Of time and sort of 1.00

00:03:24.160 Electoral support so they can say whatever

00:03:26.380 They want I've said it before it's a classic thing

00:03:28.380 I remember hearing Tony Blair talk about it

00:03:30.400 Once

00:03:30.820 And when someone says it you're like oh yeah of course

00:03:34.280 Yeah now you say it

00:03:36.460 It's like, if you're in opposition, what you say doesn't really mean all that much.

00:03:43.020 It doesn't really mean anything, actually.

00:03:45.880 You can sort of say anything.

00:03:49.840 There's no pressure on you to deliver.

00:03:52.740 Nothing like that.

00:03:55.000 The difference between being in government and even being the formal opposition,

00:03:58.380 i.e. the second most important party, let alone one of the smaller ones,

00:04:01.660 even just being the formal opposition,

00:04:03.580 you can just say stuff, just throw out policy ideas.

00:04:06.460 You don't really

00:04:08.780 You don't have to

00:04:10.380 Fund them properly

00:04:12.580 They don't even have to make full stage

00:04:14.400 You just throw it out there

00:04:15.400 Whereas if you're in how, if you're in government

00:04:17.960 Well it's a whole different kettle of fish isn't it

00:04:19.640 So they're just saying that now

00:04:21.120 In fact was it on the express

00:04:22.680 Yeah on the express

00:04:25.280 Website

00:04:26.800 Tories unveil

00:04:29.160 Bombshell plans to bar foreign nationals

00:04:31.960 From social housing 1.00

00:04:32.860 Existing non-EU tenants would be required

00:04:35.760 to leave within six months under a major overhaul of housing policy now don't get me wrong in

00:04:41.140 principle i'm up for that even more go further than that in a number of ways so it's not that

00:04:46.560 i've got a problem fundamentally with that policy not at all not at all it's exactly the sort of

00:04:51.100 thing i'd like to see but do i trust do i believe the choice james cleverly do i trust james cleverly

00:05:00.120 No, I don't. I absolutely don't. I think I've said it yesterday and I know I've said it a number of times

00:05:08.060 If I were to draw up a list of traitors, enemies of the people that in the last generation or so

00:05:13.880 have committed unspeakable crimes against this nation

00:05:17.940 James Cleverley would be near the top of the list

00:05:20.080 He'd be the Prime Ministers first, from Blair on down

00:05:23.440 And then their Home Secretaries, including this gentleman, Mr Cleverley MP

00:05:29.740 James didn't you oversee us getting invaded

00:05:38.260 You did didn't you

00:05:40.540 What did you do about it at the time

00:05:42.680 Nothing

00:05:43.560 Were you talking about 1.00

00:05:45.880 Removing social housing from foreigners 1.00

00:05:52.160 When you actually had power 1.00

00:05:53.900 No you weren't were you

00:05:55.220 But now you're in opposition

00:05:57.220 And it effectively doesn't matter

00:05:58.800 Now you're talking about it

00:06:00.560 Don't trust them

00:06:03.160 I have no faith

00:06:04.820 That the Tory party will do anything like this

00:06:07.460 They had their shot

00:06:10.640 They had their shot

00:06:17.180 To do things like this

00:06:19.000 Along these lines

00:06:19.700 And they absolutely failed

00:06:22.220 An abject failure

00:06:23.440 How someone like James Cleverley can sleep at night

00:06:31.360 Let alone go out in public

00:06:33.340 And pretend to still be

00:06:35.220 A sort of

00:06:36.640 A politician who

00:06:38.520 Can be trusted in any way

00:06:40.940 Can be taken seriously in any way

00:06:42.600 Oh look, but look, look

00:06:46.420 They've got a picture of him looking serious

00:06:48.020 Stern, serious person

00:06:53.420 Wants to do the best for this country

00:06:56.560 No, no, no, no

00:06:59.240 We spent all that political capital a long time ago, James

00:07:03.660 Alright, there's a picture of Zendaya and her husband

00:07:08.620 Yeah, these two are married

00:07:09.560 It's that Spider-Man kid, isn't it?

00:07:12.360 Was it Tom?

00:07:13.480 It's there, Tom Holland, yeah

00:07:14.760 Not to be confused with the historian Tom Holland

00:07:17.500 There's two Tom Hollands in the world

00:07:22.560 One is a lefty shill historian

00:07:26.960 The other one's a lefty shill actor

00:07:29.160 So they already got married, didn't they?

00:07:32.580 Pretty sure it was on the front page of the papers

00:07:34.860 Like a few weeks ago

00:07:35.740 Well, they seem to have had another

00:07:37.820 Marriage ceremony in England this time

00:07:40.560 So

00:07:42.240 Here's an interesting story from the Telegraph

00:07:45.780 Get a load of this

00:07:47.380 This is a sort of

00:07:51.040 A lamestream media

00:07:52.640 Equivalent of

00:07:53.580 Spurging out

00:07:54.440 I think

00:07:55.180 The headline says

00:07:56.500 Restore's co-founder

00:07:57.880 Suggests Farage

00:07:59.440 Bought by Jews 1.00

00:08:00.560 I'm talking about 1.00

00:08:02.420 Charlie Downs

00:08:03.300 Our Charlie

00:08:05.420 Yeah

00:08:07.480 It's sort of

00:08:09.620 The equivalent of

00:08:10.240 Spurging out

00:08:10.720 Because

00:08:10.980 Do you remember yesterday

00:08:11.940 There was an article

00:08:12.880 By

00:08:13.360 Alistair something

00:08:15.420 Alistair Heath

00:08:16.160 Right

00:08:17.260 having a bit of a little bit of a pop at Restore and Rupert, part of the course, and there was a

00:08:26.240 whole bunch of backlash on Twitter, like he retweeted his article, and underneath it was

00:08:32.320 just loads and loads of people ripping him a new one, including Charlie and Rupert and loads and

00:08:38.760 loads of people in this sphere, I went on there as well, I clipped out, I got clipped out my tiny

00:08:44.660 little like two minute rant about it yesterday i clipped that out and put that on there what now

00:08:49.680 anyway anyway

00:08:51.340 that obviously annoyed the powers that be at the telegraph because this article today

00:08:59.260 is the equivalent of spurging out because it's not like a clear argument it's just like a list

00:09:07.860 like a laundry list of oh oh and restored it and also restored it this and charlie and charlie

00:09:13.040 And one time on Charlie he said this

00:09:15.060 And then the other day Rupert also did this thing 0.98

00:09:17.760 Sort of pathetic 0.91

00:09:21.420 Co-founder, they're calling Charlie a co-founder 0.98

00:09:24.020 Okay, I mean he was in the video

00:09:27.300 That first video with Rupert

00:09:29.180 But okay, they're calling him a co-founder

00:09:31.340 Does that mean Charlie might be a shoo-in to be

00:09:34.800 The deputy leader of the party?

00:09:38.880 Mr Lowe, do you think you might be prudent to actually name

00:09:42.900 An heir apparent

00:09:44.120 A deputy leader

00:09:45.980 Could it

00:09:49.120 Should it be Charlie Downs

00:09:50.780 Isn't he the obvious choice

00:09:52.900 Methinks

00:09:54.340 Anyway it's up to Rupert

00:09:56.640 So here they say

00:10:02.460 That he

00:10:05.100 Charlie

00:10:06.220 Had responded to some sort of

00:10:09.020 Farage tweet

00:10:10.000 Where Farage had said

00:10:12.420 I can't be bought

00:10:13.300 I'm above

00:10:14.340 I'm above corruption

00:10:15.920 I am Nigel

00:10:17.140 Al Farage

00:10:18.140 Cannot be bought

00:10:19.520 At any price

00:10:21.600 Um

00:10:24.260 Oh

00:10:26.140 Alistair

00:10:27.380 What's that thing called

00:10:28.460 Cameo 1.00

00:10:28.840 That's it

00:10:29.140 Sorry

00:10:29.340 Sorry I remember now

00:10:30.080 Oh you can be bought on Cameo though

00:10:31.540 You were bought on Cameo

00:10:32.640 For like very small amounts of money

00:10:34.140 Anyway

00:10:34.440 Regardless of that

00:10:35.980 Charlie

00:10:36.620 I didn't even see this

00:10:37.520 I didn't know it was a thing

00:10:38.340 I think it's a while ago

00:10:39.780 I don't think it's like yesterday

00:10:40.680 This happened

00:10:41.260 But

00:10:42.420 Anyway, Charlie apparently posted some sort of picture of Nigel standing in front of something to do with the Jews or Israel

00:10:53.280 Whether it was like an Israeli flag or whether it was like Reform have got a Friends for Israel group

00:10:57.620 A lot of the main parties have, still haven't actually

00:11:00.420 A lot of the main parties are like Labour's Friends for Israel or Conservative Friends of Israel

00:11:05.420 Think Reform, apologies if I get any of these details ever so slightly wrong

00:11:09.200 I've only had like about 45 minutes or an hour this morning

00:11:12.640 To read the papers

00:11:13.940 Slightly rushed this morning

00:11:15.700 I think there's like a Reform for Israel group

00:11:20.440 Something like that

00:11:21.760 There's a picture of Nigel standing in front of it

00:11:23.960 Something like that

00:11:25.400 And Charlie reposted that

00:11:26.760 I think these are the details

00:11:28.540 Anyway

00:11:29.360 Responding to a tweet where Nigel says I can't be bought

00:11:33.280 Anyway

00:11:37.160 That's too far for the telegraph

00:11:39.320 This is anti-semitism

00:11:40.560 Anti-semitism

00:11:43.140 It's the oldest smear about money and influence

00:11:46.840 Delivered as a picture

00:11:48.200 So it couldn't be quoted back

00:11:50.220 I wonder why it's the oldest smear

00:11:56.880 Absolutely no reason for that, is there?

00:12:01.220 Go back to the ancient world

00:12:07.160 anti-semitism oh also Rupert also Rupert said something about the king

00:12:12.040 someone else Rupert about the king and he didn't give like the perfect answer as

00:12:15.720 far as we the telegraph are concerned also also it just goes on like that

00:12:21.560 it's spurging out it really is spurging out

00:12:25.480 so Charlie Downs did something else one time

00:12:30.200 it's just it's just sort of a little list of like just the current things

00:12:35.320 current little attacks they're trying to do on Restore.

00:12:40.200 Yeah, also Charlie went on Julie Fartley Pooh the other day and expressed

00:12:45.660 concerns about our about our demographic decline.

00:12:50.040 Yeah, so good. That's the thing like literally like that bit of it is like it

00:12:56.040 just says something like Charlie also went on Fartley Pooh and expressed

00:13:01.060 Expressed concerns about a demographic change

00:13:07.020 And then that's it

00:13:08.620 And then it moves on to the next thing

00:13:09.660 It's like, what's wrong with that?

00:13:12.400 Isn't that the most existential problem of our age?

00:13:16.500 You've just said it as though it's intrinsically bad

00:13:19.260 As though what Charlie's done there

00:13:21.180 Is sort of intrinsically evil or something

00:13:23.460 No, it's brilliant

00:13:24.680 It's exactly what's needed

00:13:26.600 Actually, the telegraph 0.97

00:13:29.580 Pathetic 1.00

00:13:34.540 Absolutely pathetic 1.00

00:13:39.680 And then on another day 0.99

00:13:41.600 The Telegraph will try and pretend

00:13:43.860 That they're nativist

00:13:45.140 Or patriotic in some way

00:13:46.780 Or right of centre in some way

00:13:48.500 And try to have a pop at lefties a little bit

00:13:52.180 No, no

00:13:55.260 No

00:13:57.300 They despise reform

00:14:00.040 And Tommy even

00:14:01.680 Let alone restore Charlie Downs

00:14:04.460 Despise them

00:14:05.940 They've got their globalist agenda

00:14:08.260 They've got their globalist project 1.00

00:14:10.680 Anti-white

00:14:11.900 Anti-British

00:14:12.940 Anti-Anglo project

00:14:14.200 And that's it 0.51

00:14:16.540 That takes precedent over everything else

00:14:18.500 Including reason

00:14:19.400 Filth

00:14:21.900 The people I went to dinner once with

00:14:29.380 With Edgington in London

00:14:31.180 That worked for the Telegraph

00:14:33.260 Seemed like completely reasonable 1.00

00:14:35.040 Pretty based young men in real life 1.00

00:14:37.240 Think about what you're doing 1.00

00:14:38.180 Think about who you're employed by

00:14:39.480 You really want to be part of a globalist machine

00:14:43.160 Think about it

00:14:44.920 Think about it boys

00:14:46.300 Alright

00:14:47.600 Fear of Burnham tax rise prompts

00:14:50.200 It's £1.6 billion stock market sell-off.

00:14:55.760 That's what you get when socialists just raise taxes, raise them and raise them and raise them and raise them.

00:15:00.340 In the end, anyone and anything, any individual or company or organisation that's got the ability to just leave, will.

00:15:08.620 It's quite simple.

00:15:12.420 Again, the cause and effect of that is very, very straightforward and sort of linear.

00:15:20.200 So you get like that Gary Stevens or whatever, Stevenson, I can never remember his surname, I don't watch him

00:15:25.480 People like that, people like Burnham or Reeves or whatever

00:15:31.140 They seem to somehow conveniently forget or just fail to understand

00:15:36.080 And even when you say it directly to them they sort of dismiss it a bit and move on

00:15:39.940 But you won't get more money for the state purse, for the treasury

00:15:45.440 If you just keep taxing people

00:15:47.380 It's like a bell curve, right?

00:15:49.120 At a certain point

00:15:50.140 Over a certain threshold

00:15:51.360 The overall

00:15:52.880 Sort of net revenues

00:15:54.100 You get in

00:15:54.780 Fall down

00:15:55.340 Because so many

00:15:56.500 So many people

00:15:58.000 Are leaving

00:15:58.460 And organisations

00:15:59.420 Capital flat

00:16:02.580 They just don't want

00:16:03.840 To hear about that

00:16:04.500 They just think

00:16:05.380 The more we tax

00:16:06.520 The more money we get

00:16:07.420 No

00:16:08.340 No

00:16:09.340 Really straightforward stuff

00:16:11.720 Sort of week one stuff

00:16:13.280 In an economics A level

00:16:14.540 Or something

00:16:15.000 Well this economic

00:16:18.140 Leftist

00:16:18.880 economic theory for you within one week of a normal economics course you realize it's nonsense

00:18:18.200 With our day appointment

00:18:20.140 Don't care anymore

00:18:20.800 I've moved on

00:18:21.320 We've moved on

00:18:21.880 I don't care

00:18:22.380 Milburn

00:18:24.980 Alan Milburn

00:18:25.700 Blast from the past

00:18:26.480 Do you remember he was back in the 90s

00:18:28.120 Back in the Blair years wasn't he

00:18:30.080 Milburn

00:18:33.000 He's back in government though

00:18:36.240 Do you remember when we did

00:18:37.240 When

00:18:37.560 No Stern and Burnham

00:18:38.920 King of the North

00:18:39.560 Got in

00:18:40.840 We had a look at his cabinet

00:18:42.520 Alan Milburn was in it, brought back from the dead

00:18:45.100 He says we should spot pupils at risk of joblessness

00:18:50.220 We're going to get a colour chart out, are you?

00:18:58.080 Okay

00:18:58.560 Toxic pollution in every body of water in England

00:19:04.100 It's on one of the other front pages, maybe we'll get to it in a moment

00:19:06.600 Yeah, it said, a report said

00:19:08.840 That nearly every waterway

00:19:11.900 River, canal, stream

00:19:13.660 On some level is polluted

00:19:15.540 With like microplastics and various chemicals

00:19:17.500 Anyone going to be held to account for that ultimately?

00:19:27.200 If true

00:19:28.000 The star on this

00:19:31.980 Just to let you know this isn't us

00:19:33.260 This is blurred

00:19:34.520 This isn't our fault

00:19:35.460 This isn't a technical issue with lotus eaters

00:19:38.140 The image that the BBC website

00:19:41.120 Has actually uploaded is blurred

00:19:42.600 Not that it matters really

00:19:44.600 Because it's the star 1.00

00:19:45.520 And it's stupid stupid slop 1.00

00:19:47.900 They go with the bottoms down 1.00

00:19:50.380 So bottoms down

00:19:51.220 No standing up in pubs

00:19:52.980 Madness 1.00

00:19:53.600 There's a picture of Suggs 0.99

00:19:54.600 I think that one's Suggs

00:19:56.140 You know from Madness

00:19:57.420 Madness

00:19:58.940 I won't sing

00:20:01.020 I won't sing Madness 1.00

00:20:02.680 Yeah a picture of Suggs

00:20:06.300 With a pint

00:20:06.840 Has he got a half?

00:20:08.140 And I think it's just Westminster Council

00:20:13.300 A relatively small bit of just central London

00:20:16.820 A bit like in the Covid era

00:20:20.760 What can we get away with?

00:20:23.340 How can we curtail people's sort of individual freedoms and civil liberties

00:20:27.500 Even in a really really petty way

00:20:30.560 Like you can't go up to a bar and order a drink

00:20:34.540 You have to sit at your table and let someone come on over to you

00:20:36.920 We'll pass some sort of law to that effect

00:20:39.320 You can't stand at the bar

00:20:41.360 Even if it's an empty bar

00:20:42.240 You can't stand there and have your drink

00:20:44.120 You have to go back to your seat and sit down

00:20:45.980 Well, get lost, get away from me

00:20:49.600 What are you doing, why are you

00:20:50.720 What's it got to do with you

00:20:52.540 The government, local government

00:20:54.660 Tells you if you can stand or sit

00:20:57.460 A massive overreach

00:21:00.540 Massive overreach

00:21:01.660 I want as small a government as possible

00:21:05.540 my libertarian leaning is coming up all right the metro

00:21:11.800 really the metro you're going to carry on day after day doing this are you

00:21:21.460 you know we see you know normal people see what you do every day see what you are 0.71

00:21:27.980 a seditious rag 0.99

00:21:33.480 An agent of chaos 1.00

00:21:38.580 Very often

00:21:39.360 Revolting

00:21:41.960 Sitting room only at pubs

00:21:45.560 Alright we get it

00:21:46.220 They've got a very funny little

00:21:48.040 Cartoon as well on the front

00:21:50.400 Very very funny

00:21:51.960 The Financial Times

00:21:53.360 Moldly interesting story here

00:21:55.760 Flying school

00:21:56.780 Colombian narco fighters 0.79

00:21:59.020 Seek drone warfare lessons

00:22:00.800 On Ukraine battle front

00:22:02.640 Interesting

00:22:04.040 The way drones

00:22:05.360 There's a guy there

00:22:06.980 Colombian narco fighter

00:22:09.300 Anti-narco soldier

00:22:11.640 Paramilitary dude

00:22:12.660 Whatever he is

00:22:13.600 Got a little drone there

00:22:15.060 See that 0.87

00:22:15.560 On the little cod ones

00:22:17.300 More like a toy one isn't it

00:22:18.760 But

00:22:18.920 Drone warfare on the battlefield

00:22:22.560 Whatever that battlefield might be

00:22:24.460 It does seem like that's the future doesn't it

00:22:27.460 Alright

00:22:30.180 The eye paper

00:22:31.680 they go with the waterways and the rivers thing

00:22:34.920 every river and lake in England polluted with toxic chemicals

00:22:38.360 all rivers, lakes, reservoirs and canals in England

00:22:42.040 polluted with forever chemicals

00:22:44.100 microplastics, ammonia and phosphates

00:22:47.360 according to a Land Mike report

00:22:48.860 first evaluation in six years reveals only 14% are in

00:22:55.760 quote good ecological health

00:22:58.480 with many poisoned by sewage

00:23:00.720 revealing no progress has been made since 2019 the environment agency has pledged that 75 percent of

00:23:08.580 england's 4658 bodies of water will be safe by 2027 but campaigners warn this will not happen

00:23:16.360 the higher papers save britain's rivers campaign calls on the government uh to set roadmap for

00:23:22.900 achieving its legal targets if all that data is to be believed no reason not to by the way just

00:23:31.760 to be clear if all that's true not just sort of alarmism or something that's sickening is it it's

00:23:37.120 horrible i have you know me if you watch the boat show enough i don't buy the climate hoax thing

00:23:43.460 don't buy the man-made co2 in the atmosphere drives climate change on the global level

00:23:49.480 but i do i am deeply concerned about pollution often in a lot of people's minds it's just all

00:23:55.580 one and the same issue it's just all one and the same thing it's they're not at all they're not at

00:24:00.300 all so while i don't buy that 200 maybe 250 275 parts per million co2 in the atmosphere man-made

00:24:09.540 that drives climate change and the ice caps are going to melt and sea levels are going to rise

00:24:14.080 massively and we'll all be underwater and there won't be an earth left to save if we don't act

00:24:17.980 now all that's crazy nonsense to me but pollution like measurable pollution man-made measurable

00:24:25.280 pollution which could be stopped and reversed yeah that's a massive really really important

00:24:28.800 thing i really really care about that yeah how is i'm sure there's reports and books and things

00:24:36.640 written about it but how this has been allowed to happen there's that much sewage and ammonia

00:24:42.960 and phosphates and forever chemicals, whatever that really means, in all of our rivers, lakes,

00:24:49.600 reservoirs and canals, all of them. Who exactly is responsible? How exactly did that come

00:24:56.420 to be? What organisations are responsible for that exactly? And who was at the top making

00:25:03.540 the decisions in those companies during this time frame who exactly

00:25:08.540 we're not a bigger country right it's not like we're canada

00:25:16.680 or australia or the united states or whatever or china where oh there's a region where that's the

00:25:24.720 case isn't that terrible isn't that bad let's try and do something about it still we've got

00:25:29.100 almost endless other rivers and lakes and reservoirs that are pristine still

00:25:36.140 no we've got a very finite number of them and they're all polluted saying there

00:25:43.020 can't people be people should be held to account they should be very very stiff

00:25:49.180 penalties for all this sort of thing

00:25:55.020 i saw an interview with the the head i don't know if it's the ceo or the president or something

00:25:59.100 of thames water i think it's thames water the other day going around twitter

00:26:03.500 and he was just basically saying there's nothing we can do it's not our fault

00:26:07.660 various various things as well that there's shortage during hot spells hose pipe bans during

00:26:13.740 hot spells the amount of leakage the amount of water is wasted before it ever gets to anyone's

00:26:18.780 tap or hose pipe the amount of sewage that gets released into lakes rivers reservoirs and canals

00:26:27.740 and the sea it's sort of like and it's not our fault we couldn't help it it's not it doesn't

00:26:32.180 work like that you don't understand it's not we try our best with what we've got and it's just

00:26:36.140 not our fault no don't buy it not good enough it's your responsibility and it didn't it wasn't this

00:26:43.820 this wasn't the case that long ago right a generation ago or less this wasn't the case

00:26:49.620 So what's happened? What's changed?

00:26:54.380 Well, the iPaper, I salute their, what do they call it?

00:26:58.300 The Clean Rivers, Save Britain's Rivers campaign.

00:27:01.960 Well, I support that, 100%.

00:27:04.420 100%.

00:27:06.260 It's depressing, isn't it?

00:27:12.380 Alright, the sun.

00:27:14.340 Slop, what sloppy joe are they trying to cram down our throat this morning?

00:27:18.780 Oh, Zendaya and Tom.

00:27:23.420 It's always odd to have your bird taller than you, innit?

00:27:28.940 It's not ideal, is it?

00:27:34.500 I only ever went out with a girl once who was taller than me.

00:27:36.860 Well, it was about the same height. 0.99

00:27:38.260 If she put heels on, she appeared a little bit taller than me.

00:27:42.060 Not happy with it.

00:27:44.380 Don't look right, really.

00:27:45.460 well if they're all joking aside if they're happy good luck to them seriously good luck to them

00:27:51.300 so they got married again i think i think it was is it yeah again look tom and zendaya tie knot

00:28:17.220 crap films though. Ivy Web. Clever, clever, clever wordplay. Alright. The Mirror. Ugh, 0.99

00:28:28.880 The Mirror. Ugh. Look at this burnt out old Karen. TV Nadia. Nadia Swahala. Swahala,

00:28:36.400 Whatever her surname is 1.00

00:28:37.520 I'll sue ITV over loose women 1.00

00:28:40.660 How the stars had an easier ride 1.00

00:28:42.900 So anyone who's foreign 1.00

00:28:44.240 Who might not know

00:28:44.740 There's some TV show 1.00

00:28:45.680 Called Loose Women

00:28:46.960 On like morning TV 0.98

00:28:48.620 Or daytime TV

00:28:50.020 It's a little panel 1.00

00:28:51.260 Of just middle aged women 1.00

00:28:52.980 There's an American equivalent 1.00

00:28:57.540 Is there with Whoopi Goldberg on it

00:28:59.200 You know the thing 0.99

00:28:59.840 Just a bunch of menopausal 1.00

00:29:03.460 Middle aged women 1.00

00:29:04.260 Nattering about nonsense 1.00

00:29:05.620 exposing the fact they don't really understand much that day after day right she was on it

00:29:12.520 and then she got fired in fact is there a story there was a story somewhere about

00:29:17.820 she got fired and uh oh there we go look it's on itv news nadia swala threatens itv with legal

00:29:25.880 action over loose women removal she said it was to do with her support for palestine 1.00

00:29:30.920 Because she's a little bit brown

00:29:32.820 I don't know what her actual ancestry is 0.94

00:29:35.260 But Nadia Swahala 0.85

00:29:36.840 She's got some sort of foreign ancestry

00:29:41.160 I don't even know what it is 0.76

00:29:42.480 And then the Swahala sisters 0.60

00:29:44.380 Wasn't one of them the daughter in Abfab

00:29:48.260 Was it her or one of her sisters 1.00

00:29:49.900 Anyway, don't care 1.00

00:29:51.120 They're middle age now

00:29:53.940 And she's sort of openly

00:29:57.140 But not on Loose Women

00:29:58.860 Not on Loose Women

00:30:00.540 But in other ways 0.79

00:30:01.500 Openly very very pro-Palestine 0.80

00:30:03.360 Look she's wearing one of those 0.99

00:30:04.860 Sort of near eastern Palestine 0.98

00:30:06.700 Chemarg things

00:30:07.660 Whatever they're called

00:30:08.300 Completely performative

00:30:10.240 Of course

00:30:11.560 Completely and utterly performative

00:30:13.340 Is this at Westminster?

00:30:14.560 Is this just outside the gates to Parliament?

00:30:16.460 It looks like it doesn't it?

00:30:17.860 So she's in other words 0.89

00:30:18.620 Very openly pro-Palestine

00:30:20.980 Although

00:30:22.460 Not that I've ever really watched Loose Women

00:30:25.340 Hardly oh I'm not home in a day

00:30:26.760 Let alone

00:30:27.640 Even if their clip goes around Twitter

00:30:29.160 I'm like oh no I'm not interested 1.00

00:30:30.360 apparently she never talked about it on loose women but nonetheless she got fired 0.94

00:30:36.500 and she claims it's because of that because of her open support for palestine

00:30:41.260 and that that's not fair now she's going to take them to court all right okay i'll move on i'll

00:30:46.340 move on i can't believe i spent that much time talking about that nonsense don't care

00:30:52.040 okay another story some of the tabloid more tabloidy ones are going for

00:30:56.500 Do you remember a story

00:30:58.540 A few weeks ago

00:31:00.840 Maybe was it a couple of months ago

00:31:02.380 I can't remember

00:31:02.700 Do you remember

00:31:02.940 This story where

00:31:05.840 Some actual sort of nutter

00:31:09.360 Had gone to

00:31:11.860 One of the royal estates

00:31:15.380 Where Andrew was living

00:31:16.200 I can't remember which one he's on now

00:31:17.360 Which one they've allowed him to live at

00:31:19.200 Balmoral

00:31:21.380 Anyway one of them where he was

00:31:24.900 And

00:31:25.740 This like a crazy dude 0.52

00:31:28.500 In fact look there's a picture of him 0.86

00:31:30.600 I guess that's the dude

00:31:31.400 He chased

00:31:33.260 Physically chased Andrew out

00:31:35.440 He sort of waited for the right moment

00:31:36.920 So Andrew was sort of out of his car

00:31:38.300 Or something or other

00:31:38.980 Some sort of

00:31:39.880 I don't know the exact moment to moment details of it

00:31:41.840 But

00:31:42.060 He chased

00:31:44.280 Did he have a gun or threatened

00:31:45.560 Suggest that he had a gun

00:31:47.480 Anyway

00:31:47.820 He chased Andrew around a bit

00:31:50.360 Didn't hurt him

00:31:51.080 And Andrew got away

00:31:52.800 And I guess his guard

00:31:54.740 and or the police in some way separated them and okay so andrew my stalker ordeal caught his

00:32:03.340 evidence from disgraced ex-royal so that's just a story that if you remember a month or two ago

00:32:07.980 that happened well now that case has come to court and and there's a little picture of the dude

00:32:12.360 I mean

00:32:19.020 Ultimately it's nothing

00:32:22.460 Because Andrew wasn't harmed or touched in any way

00:32:25.040 But really it's not nothing is it though

00:32:27.760 It could have been

00:32:29.120 It could have been an assassination couldn't it

00:32:32.760 If that guy did have a gun or something

00:32:34.420 He was close enough to Andrew

00:34:39.000 There was an article yesterday

00:34:41.080 With a list of at least a few of them

00:34:43.480 So some sort of loophole

00:34:44.960 It didn't apply to some

00:34:46.000 For some reason

00:34:46.740 So some are being let out early

00:34:48.640 Good old Maggie Oliver saying

00:35:05.160 Why are you doing this?

00:35:08.880 There's a number of other policy options

00:35:10.700 You could go with

00:35:11.660 Before just letting out

00:35:13.740 Child rapists early

00:35:15.760 A number of different avenues

00:35:18.780 Or measures you could look at

00:35:20.160 Or do before you choose

00:35:21.860 To do that

00:35:26.140 They hate us, don't they? They hate us

00:35:29.820 Okay, that's Melanie Sykes

00:36:22.160 You'll find some random, almost a random black guy that's doing a PhD 1.00

00:36:27.460 That's it, that's all he was essentially

00:36:30.820 A black dude that's doing a PhD 1.00

00:36:33.520 Oh the light's gone off 1.00

00:36:36.380 Technical issues, we are live, there you go

00:37:16.880 This guy's doing a PhD

00:37:18.240 Don't worry about if his PhD is any good

00:37:21.080 Or whether it's plagiarised

00:37:23.200 Don't worry about anything else he's lying about

00:37:25.400 About his entire existence

00:37:26.540 Don't worry about that

00:37:27.400 Just make him a professor

00:37:29.560 And tell him he's the best in the world

00:37:32.820 Are you kidding me?

00:37:35.360 The best in the world

00:37:55.180 Why do you? No you don't 1.00

00:37:56.620 Why do you?

00:39:27.020 Again, very straightforward

00:39:30.540 Very, very straightforward

00:39:32.420 Number 10 aides

00:39:35.440 Show Blokey Burnham the red card

00:39:37.860 This is what you get 0.98

00:39:39.720 With the feminisation of politics

00:39:41.260 Apparently, Andy Burnham

00:39:43.220 Has been told by a number of his aides 1.00

00:39:44.920 And you can only imagine they are women 0.97

00:39:46.320 And if not women, soy boys 0.57

00:39:48.700 In his sort of social media department 0.98

00:39:52.120 In sort of the

00:39:52.840 It's like the

00:40:19.460 He's just bought into that

00:40:22.780 Weird

00:40:24.980 Like 0.81

00:40:25.520 Feminisation 0.95

00:40:28.600 Of like toxic masculinity 0.99

00:40:30.800 Any masculinity

00:40:32.120 Is toxic 0.96

00:40:33.600 Even if it's just Burnham and his moobs

00:40:36.600 And his dad gut

00:40:37.480 Jogging or something

00:40:40.180 Mentioning football

00:40:41.900 Even that is too much

00:40:43.740 That's toxic masculinity or something

00:40:45.120 Andy Burnham's not overly macho is he?

00:40:50.220 He's not doing that Putin thing, riding a wild horse shirtless, is he?

00:40:56.900 Chopping wood in the forest.

00:40:59.060 He's not really doing that, is he? 1.00

00:41:01.000 He's too blokish, though. 0.96

00:41:03.260 What is there that's too blokish about Burnham? 0.98

00:41:05.060 I really can't think of anything other than once in a while he'll mention football. 1.00

00:41:11.340 That's like the most blokish thing about him, isn't it? 1.00

00:41:14.400 sort of his masculinity isn't particularly front and center 0.99

00:41:22.400 not like sort of dial it down andy we get it we get it you're an alpha okay okay that's a bit

00:41:28.920 much it's not it's not that is it it's really not that but according to the number 10 aids

00:41:35.860 And like communication experts 1.00

00:41:37.480 It's too blokish 1.00

00:41:39.280 It's the politics of the left 1.00

00:41:44.200 In the 21st century isn't it

00:41:45.860 Utterly subversive in other words

00:41:49.760 From top to bottom

00:41:50.640 Completely and utterly subversive

00:41:52.800 At every angle at all times 0.99

00:41:55.560 Disgusting 0.98

00:41:57.380 It needs to be rejected 0.98

00:41:58.240 Alright there are the front papers

00:42:00.680 Front papers

00:42:02.040 They're the front pages of the papers

00:42:03.940 On British Fleet Street this morning

00:42:06.040 Increasingly infuriating

00:42:08.760 And absurd and sloppy

00:42:10.260 Front pages

00:42:11.460 Alright, about this time of the show

00:42:13.600 We do our poll

00:42:14.920 I think Alistair picked it today

00:42:18.220 So we're going with

00:42:19.920 What we're going with

00:42:20.660 Let me do this with my mic

00:42:22.380 Can you bring it up for me

00:42:27.400 Alistair, was it

00:42:28.320 Oh there it is, ok

00:42:30.040 We asked you guys, or Alistair asked you guys

00:42:33.240 If you had to pick

00:42:35.000 Would you rather live in Wales or Scotland

00:42:37.340 Oh there's something a bit out of left field

00:42:38.920 Interesting one, why not

00:42:41.260 Sometimes we do really serious ones

00:42:43.520 Don't we, sometimes we do

00:42:44.800 Completely silly ones, absurd ones even occasionally

00:42:47.120 Don't we, sometimes we ask you something just about films 0.77

00:42:49.160 Or whatever, so this isn't in the news

00:42:51.220 Or whatever, we just ask you

00:42:52.680 Yeah, would you rather live in Wales or Scotland

00:42:55.360 And

00:42:56.380 Wales has it, it's quite close though

00:42:59.400 53% of you say

00:43:01.200 Wales

00:43:02.160 47% of you say Scotland

00:43:04.100 Just shy of about

00:43:06.300 A thousand people

00:43:07.040 Voting on that

00:43:07.700 That's interesting

00:43:08.800 That's interesting

00:43:10.240 What would I put

00:43:12.600 I don't know

00:43:13.180 Depends what part of Scotland

00:43:14.560 Like in

00:43:15.100 We talk about

00:43:17.200 A really lovely cottage

00:43:19.020 Up in the Highlands

00:43:20.240 Or we're talking about

00:43:21.780 Some sort of

00:43:23.340 Slum in Govan

00:43:24.640 Oh Scotland 1.00

00:43:27.660 If I had endless money

00:43:29.900 And could live anywhere

00:43:30.660 In Scotland

00:43:31.120 Or Wales

00:43:31.720 I guess if that's

00:43:32.680 If that's the scenario

00:43:33.540 They've both got some

00:43:35.820 Absolutely lovely

00:43:36.760 Lovely places

00:43:37.940 Haven't they

00:43:38.320 Some parts of the

00:43:40.100 Scottish Highlands are

00:43:41.200 In my opinion

00:43:41.900 Remarkably beautiful

00:43:43.480 It's not like the

00:43:44.720 Brecon Beacons aren't

00:43:45.580 Or anything

00:43:45.940 Again

00:43:46.700 Would you live in a

00:43:47.660 Massive lovely

00:43:48.920 Plush

00:43:49.840 Like a

00:43:51.860 Giant sort of estate

00:43:53.100 In the Brecon Beacons

00:43:54.460 Or

00:43:55.620 In a slum in Swansea

00:43:57.840 Both Wales aren't they 0.89

00:44:01.120 Imagine it's a nice place in Scotland or Wales 0.85

00:44:03.420 Ooh, I guess I'd go Scotland 0.98

00:44:06.800 But Wales won it

00:44:09.060 I'd have to think carefully about that

00:44:12.440 It's interesting that it's quite close

00:44:14.040 That is interesting

00:44:15.600 People are not overwhelmingly pro-Wales or anything

00:44:18.920 But, anyway, that's an interesting poll

00:44:21.380 Slightly interesting poll

00:44:22.440 Alright

00:44:23.300 Shall we have a look at what else we've got

00:44:26.060 In some of the other stories

00:44:27.120 Before we move on to On This Day in History

00:44:28.540 And all that sort of thing

00:44:29.320 Oh, here's a thing, story

00:44:30.620 it's not making it onto the front pages because of course it wasn't it's not part of their

00:44:34.920 narrative but in Thetford which is in Norfolk over a few nights now two or three nights

00:44:42.980 there's been unrest about migration there's certain houses in Thetford which are being used

00:44:52.580 To house invaders

00:44:56.040 Stop calling them migrants

00:44:57.540 Invaders

00:44:58.300 Invaders

00:44:59.200 And that people weren't happy with it

00:45:01.580 And they've had to bus in a whole bunch of police

00:45:06.300 To try and prevent normal people from protecting their own communities

00:45:10.220 But people outside the particular house

00:45:15.080 Or whatever they think is

00:45:16.260 Or is, or just is 1.00

00:45:17.280 Housing invaders 0.87

00:45:19.840 but the police don't like that they won't have that

00:45:24.720 some windows were broken

00:45:28.320 so the police have to come in mob-handed absolutely swamp the area and the home office

00:45:36.960 will say if you do if you do anything at all will come down on you like a ton of bricks

00:45:42.000 if you don't accept being invaded in the first instance and then those invaders smeared out

00:45:48.280 Into every corner of Britain

00:45:49.840 If you've got any problem with that

00:45:51.520 You're the problem now

00:45:54.260 The police will come down on you

00:45:56.600 If you dare voice any real opposition to that

00:46:00.900 This is globalism

00:46:05.640 It's very very deliberate

00:46:07.960 They're not accidentally doing this are they

00:46:10.520 They're not accidentally allowing us to be flooded

00:46:13.560 By between 10 and 20 million foreign people

00:46:16.000 Over the last 20, 30 years 0.99

00:46:17.780 And then accidentally

00:46:19.880 Repeatedly failing to deport them 0.99

00:46:22.560 And then accidentally smearing them out 1.00

00:46:25.100 Across into every corner of the country

00:46:26.940 And then accidentally using state power

00:46:29.580 To come down on you

00:46:30.480 If you've got an issue with any of that

00:46:31.880 It's not incompetence is it?

00:46:35.640 It's deliberate

00:46:36.140 Completely and utterly deliberate

00:46:39.660 And evil

00:46:40.680 Crime of unprecedented severity

00:46:43.160 Here's a story that only happened

00:46:46.420 I think three or four hours ago

00:46:47.620 So it wouldn't have been on the front pages of the papers

00:46:50.340 In Thailand there's been another school shooting

00:46:53.480 There was one earlier in the year wasn't there

00:46:56.120 This time a 14 year old boy

00:46:58.260 Shot six other people dead and then himself

00:47:00.860 With a handgun apparently

00:47:03.400 In a secondary school in Thailand

00:47:05.440 Just outside Bangkok or in Bangkok

00:47:07.360 We'll sort of dominate the news cycle today in some way

00:47:13.660 But it didn't happen that long ago

00:47:16.420 This morning, like an hour or so ago

00:47:19.420 A bit more

00:47:20.720 I said it only happened a couple of hours ago

00:47:22.840 At that point, so it's sort of breaking

00:47:24.500 Kind of a breaking thing

00:47:26.060 Alright

00:47:29.440 The Zuck's in trouble

00:47:30.680 You can't cut the Zuck

00:47:32.260 Well, a court in New Mexico can

00:47:34.360 Find him nearly a billion dollars

00:47:37.960 900 and something million dollars

00:47:39.760 A judge in New Mexico found the company Meta

00:47:42.340 To be a public nuisance

00:47:44.720 I mean, that's just the opinion of a judge

00:47:46.300 nonetheless and ruled that most of the money this like 900 and something million dollars

00:47:51.580 will be used for treatment services for young people over child safety failings

00:47:59.280 Meta the owner of Facebook Instagram and WhatsApp has been ordered to pay 567 million dollars which

00:48:10.240 is 451 million pounds but that's on top of other rulings how to get to that number of a billion

00:48:16.300 I'll explain it

00:48:17.900 to address the harm caused to children on its platforms

00:48:20.900 the ruling handed down by a US judge in New Mexico

00:48:25.320 stipulates that the bulk of the money

00:48:27.280 will be used for treatment services for young people

00:48:30.600 while the rest will go towards awareness and prevention

00:48:34.220 screening services and other costs

00:48:37.180 over the next five years

00:48:39.900 the new penalty is in addition to

00:48:43.000 375 million dollars metal is ordered to pay in damages uh not too long ago earlier this year

00:48:49.300 i believe okay so the grand total is nearly a billion it probably won't stop there the total

00:48:55.700 amounts to 942 million dollars and it probably won't stop there because there's now lots of

00:49:00.760 legal precedent for it isn't there like people can say my child me or my child we've been

00:49:07.300 psychologically damaged by Facebook Facebook being like too addictive to

00:49:13.520 keep scrolling down through and it's ruined my life in some way ruined my

00:49:16.140 mind in some way find the right judge in the right state and they're like yeah

00:49:21.140 you're right mark Zuck come here give this person millions and millions of

00:49:27.640 dollars 0.99

00:49:29.980 I mean, shan't shed a tear for bloody Zuck 0.90

00:49:33.860 Still, a little bit of a worrying precedent in my mind 0.78

00:49:39.260 Just simply in terms of the grander thing that's going on here

00:49:45.640 The grander concept that people aren't responsible for themselves

00:49:50.260 You know, like Mark Zuckerberg is responsible in some way

00:49:54.940 Or his company is

00:49:55.800 Is responsible for somebody else

00:49:58.340 Who can't stop scrolling

00:49:59.560 Or whatever it is

00:50:00.440 No, it's your responsibility

00:50:02.540 Isn't it?

00:50:03.860 Your life and your well-being

00:50:05.180 Is your responsibility 0.69

00:50:06.120 Not meta's

00:50:07.180 Again, not that I want to play defence

00:50:09.420 Not that I'm going to bat 0.92

00:50:10.380 On behalf of meta

00:50:11.200 But just the principle of the thing

00:50:14.120 The principle of the thing

00:50:14.900 It's like, oh, I keep stabbing myself

00:50:18.700 With this knife

00:50:19.420 I best take the company

00:50:20.740 That manufactured this knife to court

00:50:22.500 It's their fault

00:50:23.840 Is it?

00:50:24.460 Is it?

00:50:25.800 I walked out in front of a car and got run over by a Mercedes

00:50:34.320 Right, I'm taking Mercedes to court for that

00:50:36.400 Wasn't it you who walked out in the road, though?

00:50:41.260 Anyway, that's my feeling on it

00:50:42.400 Oh look, here's actual evidence of people setting fires, setting wildfires 1.00

00:50:50.840 I thought he was all a flaming moron 1.00

00:50:52.980 He's only 12 years old as well 1.00

00:50:55.800 I thought it was all just climate change. It was man-made CO2, causing all the wildfires.

00:51:02.800 It's quite often just people, scumbags. 0.99

00:51:09.800 Alright, on this day in history, I like doing that bit. You guys seem to like me doing that bit. 0.99

00:51:14.800 Down through the centuries, what happened, I've known.

00:51:17.800 On this day in history, the 7th of August.

00:51:21.800 On the first one here, I don't know much about

00:51:24.440 I've said before a number of times, freely admit

00:51:27.160 A bit of a dark spot in my knowledge is Chinese history

00:51:33.760 Other than a few bits, a few famous bits

00:51:36.080 Some of the Mongol invasions, the first Chinese emperor

00:51:38.760 Qin Shi Huang Di

00:51:42.160 Got long from content about him

00:51:44.100 Spent time researching, Alistair

00:51:47.120 Spent time researching and reading all about him

00:51:50.040 But something like this

00:51:51.160 15th century Chinese history

00:51:53.800 I don't know much about

00:51:54.520 Anyway, we're told on this day in 1461

00:51:57.080 Ming dynasty Chinese military general

00:51:59.300 Chow Chin

00:52:00.220 I think Qin is pronounced Chin 0.97

00:52:01.900 Stages a coup against 1.00

00:52:05.380 The Chiansang Emperor 0.99

00:52:07.120 Can't really tell you much more detail about that

00:52:09.680 Okay, on this day in

00:52:11.420 1714, the Battle of Gangut

00:52:13.340 The Russian navy wins its first

00:52:15.440 Major victory during the

00:52:17.300 Great Northern War against Sweden, I know much more

00:52:19.320 about that um yeah we talked about it before didn't we a few days ago or a week or two ago

00:52:25.900 where sweden in in the late uh 18th century still sweden was a big power

00:52:32.820 and russia was nowhere big as big of a power as it became relatively soon after that so you might

00:52:40.680 think sweden versus russia that's not really any sort of contest well it was relatively close you

00:52:48.280 who controls sort of the baltic sea really all right on this day in 1782 commander of the

00:52:55.340 continental army george washington the george washington creates two honorary badges of

00:53:01.100 distinction and a badge of military merit now known as the purple heart anyone that gets wounded

00:53:05.920 in any way you get a purple heart um and it's the first time military awards are presented

00:53:11.300 to common soldiers that's interesting i wonder if that's the first time military awards are

00:53:15.800 presented to common soldiers anywhere in the world or just in the u.s military

00:53:20.800 that'd be i would assume that just means in the u.s military not anywhere in the whole world

00:53:27.240 anyway anyway i think you actually get a purple heart even if it's not like a combat injury

00:53:34.600 right pretty sure like people in vietnam like you can like you get some sort of terrible 0.70

00:53:41.480 Jungle infection

00:53:42.720 And you get shot

00:53:44.920 You get two purple hearts

00:53:47.140 That was the case

00:53:49.640 Anyway

00:53:51.880 On this day in 1933

00:53:54.700 The Iraqi government forces

00:53:56.400 Slaughter over 3,000 Assyrians

00:53:58.480 In the village of Simeli

00:54:00.180 Simeli

00:54:01.260 I don't know how you pronounce that

00:54:02.900 In northern Iraq

00:54:04.680 Commemorated as a Syrian Martyrs Day

00:54:07.480 I've heard about that incident before

00:54:09.200 But I don't know the exact details of it

00:54:11.480 exactly what went down how and why sort of the day-to-day moment-to-moment details of that i

00:54:16.200 have heard about it um i guess it's sort of iraqi um sunni muslims and the assyrians sort of as

00:54:28.360 ancient assyria is the same part of the world isn't it were these quote-unquote assyrians

00:54:34.680 were they not the exact same faith i'm not sure i should know more about that actually interesting

00:54:40.760 that is interesting i should look that up it's exactly the sort of thing where if i'm a slight

00:54:46.360 loose end for a moment i'll be oh what's that thing yeah i should know more about that okay

00:54:50.920 on this day in 1955 tokyo telecommunications engineering the precursor to sony begins

00:54:57.240 selling its first transistor radios in japan again not much more to say about that but

00:55:04.600 mildly interesting very very mildly interesting okay and on this day in 1990

00:55:09.160 us deploys troops to saudi arabia beginning operation desert shield i know a great deal

00:55:15.160 about that that's iraq war one you know the liberation of kuwait from saddam's army i know

00:55:22.200 loads about that it's one of the things when i was sort of in my early teens even mid-teens

00:55:29.240 it was one of the things in history that i for whatever reason decided i'm really fascinated by

00:55:33.960 about that I really want to know exactly because I remember it I remember it myself literally

00:55:39.540 Desert Storm well Desert Shield and then Desert Storm I was like 10 or whatever I remember watching

00:55:46.640 it on TV and then by the time I was sort of 14 or 15 I'm like I actually want to know all about

00:55:50.360 that in as much detail as possible I have basically studied read more than one book I suppose if you

00:55:57.420 want to call that studying about Desert Storm and Desert Shield anyway what it was real quick just

00:56:02.580 to say saddam invaded kuwait for its oil resources if nothing else in order because he almost tanked

00:56:12.420 his own economy trying to fight iran for 10 years not getting anywhere and um a lot of the west well

00:56:21.020 particularly the u.s jules bush senior poppy decided this aggression will not stand oh and 0.52

00:56:28.900 And Saddam was threatening Saudi Arabia and Israel

00:56:31.500 So they deployed

00:56:33.220 George Bush Senior decided to deploy

00:56:35.080 Loads of the army

00:56:37.380 And marines

00:56:38.260 And navy and air force and everything else

00:56:40.260 To the region

00:56:41.360 Started with Operation Desert Shield 0.62

00:56:44.580 Which was to protect Saudi Arabia

00:56:47.140 The fear, the worry was

00:56:50.240 Saddam's legions 0.92

00:56:51.680 Might sweep straight on 1.00

00:56:53.800 Through Kuwait City and into Saudi Arabia

00:56:56.260 George Bush Senior couldn't have that

00:56:58.900 so first and foremost set up an operation to protect Saudi from any such thing

00:57:03.220 Operation Desert Shield and then that turns into or was always going to be

00:57:08.300 the amassing of the US forces and other forces coalition forces the Brits were

00:57:14.760 involved as a few others coalition of the winning type deal

00:57:17.520 Operation Desert Shield becomes really amassing forces on the Iraqi-Kuwaiti

00:57:24.580 border ready to bounce across and then they did and then they did like a few months later

00:57:31.120 in 19 the very the end of 1990 the winter of 1990 into 1991 there's a storm where he liberate

00:57:40.680 kuwait massive pins and not pins movement a massive wheeling movement around the top of

00:57:47.540 kuwait to cut off a load of saddam's army not pushing all the way up to baghdad or anything

00:57:53.020 like that that's later 13 years later but anyway anyway storming norman the co on the ground for

00:58:00.640 the yanks i find all that sort of thing fascinating is it yeah anyway for some reason for some reason

00:58:07.220 you know what it's like when you're a history nerd there'll be some little corner of history

00:58:10.240 and only not only you but most people are not particularly interested in it i think it's a bit

00:58:14.920 of a footnote in history but for you you're sort of endlessly fascinated by it anyway

00:58:19.520 Desert Storm is one of those things for me

00:58:22.180 Alright, that's the

00:58:24.040 On this day in history bit, shall we do our Rumble Rants

00:58:26.100 And Super Chats

00:58:50.980 It's a good day

00:58:51.560 What have we got?

00:58:52.620 You've said, he gives us a couple of factoids

00:58:54.940 On this day in history factoids, doesn't he?

00:58:56.600 We've got

00:58:57.020 Today in 626 AD

00:58:59.720 The Avars abandoned the siege of Constantinople 0.54

00:59:02.480 Reportedly when St Michael appeared to their Kagan

00:59:07.760 Now celebrated as a feast day

00:59:10.400 St Michael, the archangel Michael

00:59:13.320 Yeah, the Avars

00:59:17.480 The Avars are sort of

00:59:19.000 Nomadic horsemen people, weren't they? 0.99

00:59:21.700 Like the Pannonian Avars 0.97

00:59:23.240 And the Cappadocian

00:59:24.360 Capetian

00:59:26.740 Not Capetian, that's France 0.97

00:59:28.620 Caspian

00:59:31.020 Is it Caspian Avars? Anyway

00:59:32.440 They're sort of Central Asian 1.00

00:59:34.780 Central Steppe 1.00

00:59:35.640 Type

00:59:37.480 Horse 1.00

00:59:41.160 Nomad people

00:59:42.280 Not likely to ever get inside 0.89

00:59:44.560 The Theodosian walls of Constantinople

00:59:47.020 Were they? Well they didn't

00:59:48.640 They abandoned the siege pretty quickly to be honest

00:59:50.920 They're like oh wait

00:59:52.620 Oh wait

00:59:53.200 These defences are completely impenetrable

00:59:56.760 Even if you had

00:59:58.760 A long long time

00:59:59.880 Years

01:00:00.920 And highly advanced siege

01:00:04.080 Battery equipment

01:00:05.380 It would still be a massive massive task

01:00:08.280 And we the Avars haven't got any of that

01:00:10.800 We've got some horses

01:00:12.700 Interesting though

01:00:16.360 Walls of Theodosius 0.67

01:00:17.940 And the second one

01:00:19.480 Global church history says

01:00:20.600 In 936

01:00:24.180 Otto I was crowned king of Germany

01:00:26.840 It's interesting

01:00:28.480 I know a lot about that

01:00:29.780 Otto I, Otto the Great

01:00:31.820 One of the seminal kings for Germany

01:00:35.420 It's not truly a Germany as we know it

01:00:37.880 In the 10th century

01:00:39.080 But nonetheless

01:00:39.760 So this is after the age of Charlemagne

01:00:44.080 He's up there, arguably, with Charlemagne

01:00:48.140 Not as important, but after Charlemagne dies 0.98

01:00:50.800 He splits his empire into the East and the West Franks

01:00:54.580 Anyway, the Eastern Frankish kingdoms 0.60

01:00:57.260 Otto becomes a Holy Roman Empire 0.67

01:01:01.020 Again, the Holy Roman Empire was already a thing 0.52

01:01:04.980 So he becomes king of the Holy Roman Emperor 0.66

01:01:09.800 Then he invaded Italy, northern Italy at least 0.55

01:01:13.520 Takes Rome

01:01:15.680 As one of his seats of power in Rome

01:01:20.320 Important, important guy 0.99

01:01:23.040 If you're German, he will be sort of

01:01:26.000 In your top ten, top five even, most important

01:01:29.360 Early medieval figures

01:01:31.460 A lot of people who aren't German, maybe never heard of him 0.97

01:01:34.900 anyway thanks for that global church history that's a good one all right next one pig dog 0.71

01:04:30.600 And we're going to keep pushing them on you

01:04:32.200 Why?

01:04:35.340 Now sometimes they'll do that, the media, less Hollywood but more the media

01:04:38.180 They'll pick usually like a model or something

01:04:41.340 Do you remember a few years ago 1.00

01:04:43.540 It was that Cara Delevingne

01:04:45.000 Do you remember that just for example

01:04:46.060 Just one of many

01:04:47.080 Don't know why that one randomly popped in

01:04:49.340 But for a while there a few years ago 1.00

01:04:51.200 The mainstream media decided Cara Delevingne

01:04:54.120 They would put her on the front page all the time 0.52

01:04:56.580 She hasn't done anything 0.99

01:04:57.400 She's in New York at the moment

01:05:01.220 She's gone out to the corner shop 0.95

01:05:02.720 To buy us some milk 0.61

01:05:03.800 Sometimes literally that

01:05:05.360 Or who played Hermione in Harry Potter

01:05:09.820 You know

01:05:11.340 Alistair

01:05:13.640 Emma Watson

01:05:16.400 Yeah, like Emma Watson 0.60

01:05:17.280 Oh look, you brought up some pictures of that Cara Delevingne 0.99

01:05:19.560 Yeah, a few years ago now 1.00

01:05:20.960 She doesn't look quite that stunning anymore

01:05:24.700 But anyway, yeah 0.98

01:05:25.600 Or, yeah, they'll pick someone

01:05:27.620 They'll be like, this is

01:05:28.320 You really need to care what they're doing at all times

01:05:30.820 And the latest thing

01:05:31.960 The latest minutiae of what's going on in their life

01:05:34.580 Do we?

01:05:36.800 Or Zendaya now 1.00

01:05:41.540 We have to cast her in everything 0.98

01:05:43.360 And follow her real life 0.99

01:05:45.220 What's going on

01:05:46.260 Nah

01:05:49.440 That's weird

01:05:51.860 That's weird

01:05:52.860 Alright

01:05:55.660 Pigdog again says

01:05:57.780 Read water pollution

01:05:59.200 Illegal drugs

01:06:00.580 Legal pharma

01:06:01.460 Pharmaceuticals

01:06:03.940 Especially antidepressants and birth control

01:06:06.940 Massively pollute the water

01:06:08.420 Yeah, I have heard that 1.00

01:06:09.200 Wasn't it turning the frogs gay? 0.85

01:06:14.080 Lefties want drugs legalised and clean water 0.96

01:06:16.640 You can't have both

01:06:17.680 And then you put animals all higher

01:06:20.460 But, yeah

01:06:21.960 That's a fair point

01:06:23.860 Lefties want drugs legalised and clean water

01:06:26.380 You can't have both

01:06:27.220 Yeah, it seems that way on some level

01:06:28.620 Was it, yeah, the whole 0.97

01:06:33.940 The whole thing of turning the frogs gay. 0.89

01:06:37.860 If there's loads of, like, birth control chemicals, 0.52

01:06:41.080 even, like, sort of trace elements,

01:06:43.020 in, like, the broader water supplier,

01:06:46.320 then maybe amphibians, for real,

01:06:49.600 like, are very, very, very susceptible to something like that.

01:06:53.180 It damages them real quick.

01:06:57.960 Yeah, what a travesty that all our waterways are polluted to some level, to some degree.

01:07:01.620 That's my soul

01:07:05.340 This country

01:07:12.100 Alright the next few 1.00

01:07:14.320 Fair few are all from

01:07:16.020 That's a random name

01:07:17.180 So I'll quickly whip through them if you don't mind

01:07:20.040 Or you yourself have named them part 1 of 2

01:07:22.000 Part 3 or 4

01:07:22.660 The next 4 are all you

01:07:23.900 So you've written

01:07:25.480 I've come to realise that what links the various evildoers

01:07:30.320 that are afflicting our society is that they all deny their agency and use that as an excuse for

01:07:36.460 their evil deeds whether it's the people polluting our rivers women aborting their children in

01:07:41.860 hundreds of thousands politicians blaming the system for their treachery or even the savages

01:07:46.760 on our streets it's never their fault because they have no agency you want something here yeah 1.00

01:07:52.080 an irresponsible woman somehow has less agency than her unborn child politicians somehow have 0.99

01:07:59.100 an agency have no agency despite their actual power yeah migrants just can't help but commit 0.99

01:08:08.020 the most heinous crime on and on and on to evildoers life just happens that's why they 1.00

01:08:13.880 try to destroy us for pointing evil out because we recognize human agency absolutely absolutely

01:08:21.780 Couldn't agree more with what you've said there

01:08:24.720 That's a random name, yeah

01:08:26.460 Yeah

01:08:28.260 That's how the left

01:08:30.760 Traitor subversives

01:08:33.940 A whole lot of them 1.00

01:08:36.080 Globalists 1.00

01:08:37.960 That's sort of one of the rationales

01:08:42.800 One of the key rationales they use, isn't it?

01:08:45.380 Yeah

01:08:45.500 You can't blame

01:08:48.340 Foreign invaders

01:08:50.780 For coming here 1.00

01:08:52.380 Stealing from us

01:08:53.920 Committing sex crime

01:08:55.560 And sometimes mass casualty murder events

01:08:58.660 Up to including the slaughter of innocent children

01:09:01.440 You can't really blame them for it

01:09:03.240 It's the system

01:09:03.960 They had no agency

01:09:05.200 You know like the meta thing

01:09:07.460 It's not my fault

01:09:09.400 I can't stop scrolling through Facebook or something

01:09:14.580 It's not my fault

01:09:15.320 It's Mark Zuckerberg's fault

01:09:16.680 Yeah

01:09:19.500 You're right, yeah

01:09:22.200 The whole question about agency, human agency

01:09:24.240 Quite right, yeah, good point

01:16:40.940 Okay, MQs says

01:16:44.900 Donating a studio candle for better lighting

01:16:48.540 I think, yeah, something just clicked off

01:16:51.760 I don't know what it was

01:16:52.460 I don't know what it was

01:16:53.800 Hopefully we're moving, changing studio

01:16:56.180 Before too long

01:16:57.640 And the building we're in right now

01:17:01.940 In a way it served us very well

01:17:03.900 In another way

01:17:04.780 A bit of a pain in the eye

01:17:06.780 It's not an amazingly good

01:17:10.220 But you know

01:17:10.660 The number of power cuts we've had

01:17:13.820 Not just the last

01:17:16.240 Not just the two in recent months

01:17:18.120 For the Bo Show

01:17:18.760 But other times as well

01:17:20.280 It was in the middle of a podcast once

01:17:22.940 Fire alarms goes off sometimes

01:17:25.580 Even though we've told them not to do it

01:17:28.400 We've requested not to do it

01:17:29.260 And they say they won't

01:17:29.940 It does anyway

01:17:30.480 The cooling and the heating system isn't great

01:17:34.860 Sometimes the electrics, if it's not a full power cut

01:17:37.180 Will just be a little bit unreliable

01:17:39.540 All sorts of stuff

01:17:42.920 The windows, they're like from the 19th century

01:17:46.860 They're not of course, but they feel like it

01:17:49.260 Brilliant building, anyway, we're going somewhere else soon

01:17:53.500 A little bit of a peek behind the curtain there

01:17:57.520 We should be moving to a building

01:18:00.120 Which isn't a joke

01:18:01.260 Alright

01:18:02.800 Let's have a look

01:18:05.060 What else have we got

01:19:26.300 Okay. Mr. Gently Benevolent says, incorrect take, Bo. Zendaya is brown, and even given that drawback unpleasant, your best Spice Coal status is being called into question.

01:20:17.940 King of coals minions

01:20:19.320 King of the spice coals

01:20:21.440 The most based one basically

01:20:25.140 Lotus Eaters is the Bo Dade experience

01:20:29.920 Featuring the other hosts

01:20:31.660 Okay

01:20:34.340 Thomas Glover 92 says

01:20:36.500 Morning Bo

01:20:37.260 Is King Charles British?

01:20:41.280 Oh yeah

01:20:41.640 yeah yeah yeah i mean his father um the duke of edinburgh the late duke of edinburgh he was greek

01:20:52.120 but of sort of i believe i believe he wasn't he of he's greek but of north west european descent

01:20:59.560 and then his mother um the queen late queen elizabeth ii was ultimately of basically of

01:21:06.760 sort of hanoverian descent but there was all sorts of other blood mixed in there as well

01:21:13.880 and i mean they're at least at least mostly northwest european depends how

01:21:19.400 depends doesn't it how deep down you want to drill into it i mean i'm happy to call him

01:21:24.200 i'm happy to call him british it'd be interesting to see if they actually did a living dna or um

01:21:30.360 ancestry.com if they were to do a dna breakdown and actually see exactly what it was

01:21:36.760 perhaps we as the people can demand that of our sovereign

01:21:41.480 it'll be interesting to see um because do you have to be a hundred percent like dan tubb

01:21:50.760 like i've done my dna and i wasn't 100 i was 89 british isles well according to uh living dna

01:21:59.400 or was it ancestry i can't remember i did them both i was like 89 i had other bits like a little

01:22:04.120 a little bit of Scandinavia, on one of them a little bit of French,

01:22:07.620 on the other one there was no French.

01:22:09.820 One of them said I had like 1.8% Basque from the Basque region in northern Spain.

01:22:17.340 Am I British?

01:22:19.000 Can I no longer claim to be British because I've got 1.8% Basque?

01:22:24.000 Where do you draw the line exactly? 1.00

01:22:26.760 Some would say, wouldn't they?

01:22:27.960 No, you've got to be 100% like Dan Tubb,

01:22:30.660 who won't disclose how much of his was actually Irish.

01:22:34.120 Anyway

01:22:36.780 Jeff, be 100% for your climate

01:22:38.880 Well, if that were the case

01:22:40.660 Then this current royal family won't be that

01:22:42.700 I'd bet my money it's not that

01:22:44.200 Well, it isn't that, is it? It won't be

01:22:46.060 If they're not British, what are they? 0.99

01:22:52.520 German? Greek? 0.71

01:22:54.760 It'd be interesting, genuinely interesting 1.00

01:22:56.720 For them to do a DNA breakdown

01:22:58.680 Why not?

01:23:01.560 Alright

01:23:01.920 Last three here

01:23:04.200 Oh no, four now

01:23:05.860 Rodney again says

01:23:07.760 Basically on the opposite side of the planet

01:23:10.020 Here in New Zealand

01:23:11.040 Between 11 and 13 hours ahead

01:23:14.180 Depending on daylight savings

01:23:15.620 Yeah, literally the other side

01:23:31.860 really really honestly sort of blows my mind a bit appreciate it keifer brown 1337 says

01:23:40.660 uh gently b is correct that gently benevolent is correct wales is a psyop by amon

01:23:48.800 the whole of wales was created as a psychological warfare exercise by amon holmes

01:24:01.240 oh okay okay if you guys say so get well seen Eamon all joking aside

01:24:09.620 get well seen Eamon, hope he does

01:24:13.120 poor completely innocent Eamon Holmes he's just a man he's just an innocent man

01:24:21.500 okay Tatum2733 says 1453 defenders you get arms and armor no I don't want to do it how would I feel

01:24:31.240 i'll be terrified i'm defending constantinople in 14 in 1453 yeah that's terrifying i'm going to get

01:24:39.240 butchered even with arms and armor what was your original question what if you awoke in the sea

01:24:46.200 well if i woke as a defender in the siege of constantinople i would be petrified and terrified

01:24:51.640 and try and look at swimming the bosphorus to get away or something that's what i'd do

01:24:57.160 horrible i guess that's the answer okay last two here mr gently benevolent says um 89 dna dot dot

01:25:08.980 unclean i think the other one was a bit higher because i did two i did living dna and i did

01:25:16.940 ancestry.com one of them came out at 89 the other one i think was 91 or 92 but it wasn't 100 a little

01:25:26.220 bit of scandinavia it'll be the viking invasions wouldn't it one of them said i had a little bit

01:25:29.800 of french north western french that'll be the normans won't it a little bit of norman in there
