00:00:50.580 Um
00:00:51.940 A small piece of, uh
00:00:57.120 Housekeeping.
00:00:58.640 A few moments ago, I trapped my finger in the door.
00:01:02.780 It's actually bleeding a bit.
00:01:06.260 Sorry about that.
00:01:07.620 I fiddle with it a bit.
00:01:09.880 It's distracting.
00:01:13.180 Doesn't hurt all that much, but it is bleeding slightly.
00:01:17.200 I'm human.
00:01:18.540 If you trap my finger in a door, do I not bleed?
00:01:24.260 The show must go on, dear boy.
00:01:26.400 Sorry about that
00:01:30.000 Again I'm human
00:01:31.600 One day I'm going to have like a sneezing fit
00:01:33.940 Sometimes especially in
00:01:35.700 In
00:01:37.060 Hay fever season
00:01:39.280 Especially in the mornings
00:01:40.820 Sometimes I'll sneeze like 20 times in a row
00:01:42.800 That will happen on camera one day
00:01:45.500 I'll get hiccups
00:01:46.920 One morning I'll get hiccups like the whole show
00:01:49.760 So okay
00:01:52.960 This morning I've cut my finger
00:01:54.520 There you go
00:01:55.160 Hashtag pray for Bo
00:01:59.120 That really isn't enough fanning about now
00:02:03.600 Let's have a look
00:02:05.800 What have we got
00:02:06.340 My mouse finger as well
00:02:08.560 Alright
00:02:09.560 It's not that bad 0.99
00:02:10.460 You're such a wuss about it 0.99
00:02:13.160 Alright 1.00
00:02:14.760 It's a waltz-waltz-dama day
00:02:16.220 So after the elections
00:02:17.940 Which we'll get into
00:02:18.800 There are the results
00:02:20.060 Boom
00:02:20.440 But before we get into that
00:02:23.060 Just the overview
00:02:24.240 The grand overview
00:02:24.940 later leadership rival circle and golden boys of BAFTA red carpet it was the BAFTAs
00:02:30.420 the BAFTAs yesterday very very minimal coverage on the bow show about that sort of nonsense
00:02:35.060 okay but yeah just look at the websites look Starmer Starmer Starmer Starmer even more Starmer
00:02:46.260 so okay you get it let's have a look at the front pages the fleet street the print media
00:02:53.640 What's the legacy corporate mainstream media
00:02:55.260 Banging on about this morning
00:02:56.580 It's that evil cabal of Fleet Street editors
00:02:59.660 Trying to tell you it's important
00:03:00.940 Like the Guardian, ugh
00:03:02.040 Cut finger and Guardian first thing
00:03:07.140 There's better ways to start your Monday morning
00:03:09.800 No, there's no better way to start your Monday morning
00:03:13.860 Than with the Beau show, Breakfast with Beau
00:03:15.720 Beau's Breakfast Club, hashtag the real BBC
00:03:19.780 What are you going to do, watch Mike Graham
00:03:23.480 And his stale old reform-tard takes
00:03:25.720 Get real 1.00
00:03:26.340 Get real
00:03:27.920 Jeremy Kyle
00:03:28.500 Is he still going?
00:03:29.500 Is he even still going?
00:03:31.580 The Guardian
00:03:32.360 Ugh
00:03:32.820 Revolting 1.00
00:03:34.140 Revolting commie slop
00:03:36.120 Labour leadership rivals circle
00:03:38.400 As Starmer tries to cling to power
00:03:39.820 So part of the big news
00:03:41.520 Today
00:03:42.400 Is that he's going to do a speech
00:03:45.000 Starmer that is
00:03:46.560 Going to do a speech
00:03:47.320 And it's sort of his
00:03:49.380 They say he's like
00:03:50.540 Part of his last chance
00:03:51.840 there was reports last night i think from gb news one or two other places saying that in that speech
00:04:00.660 he's going to resign or set out a timetable for his resignation but now at least this morning from
00:04:05.720 what i've seen an hour and a half two hours worth of reading this morning is saying that that's not
00:04:10.960 what he's going to be in the speech he's going to say um i'll never quit sort of thing so we'll see
00:04:17.260 It may or may not be his quitting speech this morning
00:04:21.920 But I think it looks like
00:04:24.700 Might be proven wrong in a few hours time
00:04:26.680 But it looks like he'll just cling on
00:04:29.200 He'll say no I'm doubling down
00:04:30.480 I mean it's the King's speech on Wednesday
00:04:31.900 I.e. the opening for Parliament
00:04:33.060 A new Parliament
00:04:33.600 A new round of governing
00:04:38.660 They set out what they mean to do over the next year
00:04:40.700 And that's written by the government
00:04:44.920 It's not what King Charles wants
00:04:46.160 He just reads out a speech that's been written for him
00:04:49.400 By number 10
00:04:50.020 And there's nothing in that
00:04:52.840 And it always, as a matter of course
00:04:54.880 Is essentially leaked beforehand
00:04:56.580 It's not like a state secret
00:04:59.200 Sort of a thing or anything like that
00:05:00.400 And there's nothing in there
00:05:01.520 Certainly there's nothing in there about
00:05:04.200 Not that they would anyway
00:05:06.500 But there's nothing in there about
00:05:07.300 We intend to hold a leadership election
00:05:09.400 Or we feel like we might have to go to the public again
00:05:13.760 For a general election or anything like that
00:05:15.160 So I suspect
00:05:16.960 Starmer will just
00:05:17.760 Clean onto power 1.00
00:05:18.320 Just do that thing of
00:05:19.500 I've got a mandate
00:05:20.740 From the people
00:05:21.400 You know
00:05:23.700 There's no reason
00:05:24.300 For me to go
00:05:24.900 I must do better
00:05:25.780 The buck stops with me
00:05:27.020 The buck stops with me
00:05:28.420 And will just keep
00:05:29.560 Ploughing forward
00:05:30.200 Regardless of anything
00:05:30.940 Regardless of being
00:05:32.020 The most unpopular
00:05:33.760 Prime Minister of all time
00:05:34.720 Okay
00:05:39.460 So yeah I've said before
00:05:44.960 Well, I think Starmer's like that old school, old school red.
00:05:50.680 Where he would never, never give up on power.
00:05:52.840 There's no sense of shame. 0.83
00:05:55.900 You know, probably as a younger man, red Lenin. 0.78
00:05:58.920 And the idea of clinging to power is everything. 0.76
00:06:02.480 Never, ever give up power.
00:06:03.700 Never walk away on the game of politics before it throws you under a bus.
00:06:09.300 Wouldn't dream of it.
00:06:09.900 I think that, I was saying that about Starmer before he was even Prime Minister.
00:06:13.320 I think that's the type of person he is.
00:06:14.960 i think he would have to be removed okay it says there scores of mps including burnham
00:06:21.020 burnham backers call on pm to set date to quit like it's tony blair and gordon brown
00:06:27.500 in 2007 2006 2007 whatever it was it's a whole different thing all right a little bit about the
00:06:37.180 baftas super quick so that remember that show adolescence that really subversive show was
00:06:43.140 broadly broadly based on when a black boy stabbed a white girl they made broadly broadly based on
00:06:49.620 that they made a tv trial but they race changed the black boy to be a white little white kid 0.86
00:06:55.060 made it all about general male toxicity remember that and all the left guards and traitors and 0.78
00:07:03.940 commies loved it and everyone normal thought it was sickening well it's done really well
00:07:08.660 the baftas cleared up he's had a growth spurt that's the little lad in it
00:07:16.260 of a growth spurt
00:07:19.380 i know uh graham is it uh what's his name stephen graham i know he's a tiny little
00:07:27.140 scouser commie tiny little freak of a man but um he certainly had a growth spurt any of that lad
00:07:33.700 all right that gives you a measure of the baftas doesn't it just um 0.99
00:07:40.980 whatever's disgusting and woke and subversive 0.99
00:07:47.780 you know like nearly all love is they they go for that they lap that up of course they do
00:07:55.220 all right that's enough of that iran peace laureate on her prison ordeal okay all right
00:08:01.860 let's get through to the eye paper because the blurb on that really gives us everything we need
00:08:04.740 to know about the starma issue the mail quickly do the mail an utter globalist slop trying to 0.54
00:08:14.820 wear the skin suit of something that isn't that but it is never be fooled by the mail
00:08:20.740 even to this day leftists and labor types cling to the idea that the mail is right leaning that 0.60
00:08:27.620 That the male is something other than globalist slop.
00:08:34.540 It is.
00:08:35.260 It's completely on their side, as all the print media is, basically.
00:08:40.640 Basically.
00:08:41.960 With the exception, sometimes, of The Telegraph.
00:08:45.800 Sometimes.
00:08:47.540 50-50, though, even in The Telegraph.
00:08:50.740 Okay.
00:08:51.300 Labour leadership bloodbath.
00:08:52.900 It's a bloodbath.
00:08:53.900 Streeting and Rainer ready for Starmer's fall.
00:08:56.080 Well
00:08:57.740 Angela the Fridge Rainer
00:09:00.960 Big Bird
00:09:01.420 Is still embroiled in a
00:09:04.180 Revenue and Customs
00:09:06.340 Ordeal
00:09:06.800 Where it said she didn't pay 0.89
00:09:10.080 40 grand stamp duty 0.68
00:09:11.960 On her 800 grand
00:09:13.580 Flat in Brighton or Hove
00:09:15.940 That's still all going on
00:09:18.300 Pretty sure that despars her 1.00
00:09:20.220 From a leadership campaign 1.00
00:09:21.800 Until that's resolved 0.71
00:09:22.760 Assuming it's resolved in her favour 0.86
00:09:25.440 And they don't find that she
00:09:27.500 Broke the law 0.89
00:09:29.440 We don't know
00:09:33.260 So
00:09:35.320 It's not in Burnham or Rainer's interest at this moment
00:09:39.820 To have a leadership
00:09:40.620 Election
00:09:42.140 Race 0.98
00:09:43.500 Because they can't be in it 1.00
00:09:45.440 Does that just leave the doors open for
00:09:49.300 The right honourable
00:09:51.620 Mr. Wesley Streeting
00:09:53.980 He's going to lose his seat in the next general election
00:09:57.140 Almost regardless
00:09:58.140 Would have thought
00:09:59.060 Have the stars aligned for Wesley Streeting
00:10:04.020 Okay
00:10:07.660 PM on the brink as Rebellion could
00:10:10.040 Seal his fate today
00:10:11.360 I doubt it
00:10:12.660 I doubt it
00:10:13.940 There was this other backbencher
00:10:17.980 Catherine West
00:10:19.100 Looks a bit like Rose West
00:10:21.400 She said 0.99
00:10:23.480 She was on the news
00:10:24.760 The Sunday morning political news cycle stuff
00:10:28.680 She was openly saying
00:10:31.760 I'm prepared to sort of
00:10:33.060 You know
00:10:33.280 Trigger a leadership contest
00:10:35.420 You know
00:10:37.980 Rainer and Burnham won't
00:10:39.600 Or want that
00:10:40.200 It's like it's not yet
00:10:40.840 Not yet
00:10:41.220 We're not ready
00:10:41.860 We want to win that
00:10:44.060 And we can't if you do it right now
00:10:45.600 Okay
00:10:46.300 Rainer blasts PM record
00:10:48.180 And signals a Burnham alliance
00:10:51.280 He's not an MP at all
00:10:53.600 Still
00:10:55.480 All this may just save Starmer
00:10:59.840 Because
00:11:00.200 The biggest beasts
00:11:02.540 Haven't got all their ducks in a row
00:11:04.440 Streeting's bid is poised
00:11:07.160 To rival parties hard left
00:11:09.200 People say that Rayner and Burnham
00:11:11.100 Should they somehow become the leadership of the party
00:11:13.280 Between them, the dream ticket
00:11:14.380 Would draw the party to the left
00:11:16.600 Well they would, they would
00:11:18.140 They're absolutely further to the left than Starmer
00:11:21.280 And streeting, not so much
00:11:23.100 So, you go, they're your choices
00:11:25.520 If you are in the Parliamentary Labour Party
00:11:30.380 Or indeed just a member
00:11:31.320 Or one of the unions that gets to vote on that sort of thing
00:11:33.640 Do you think the country wants to go further to the left than Starmer?
00:11:41.120 They've been travesting local elections because of that
00:11:43.360 Or spineless wedge streeting
00:11:47.420 Who's going to lose his seat next time anyway
00:11:49.220 They're your choices, basically
00:11:50.560 The Mirror
00:11:53.460 A bit more about the BAFTAs
00:11:55.500 Don't care
00:11:56.000 Election fallout
00:11:57.240 Change before it's too late
00:11:58.880 Says Angela The Fridge
00:12:00.040 Rainer Big Bird
00:12:00.700 Rainer in stinging swipe
00:12:03.260 At PM's record 0.99
00:12:04.200 She
00:12:04.920 She made an intervention
00:12:06.760 She released a thousand word statement 1.00
00:12:10.580 The other day
00:12:11.480 Sunday I think
00:12:12.180 Just saying
00:12:16.080 Just saying
00:12:17.660 She didn't explicitly say
00:12:19.060 Starmer should step down
00:12:21.000 But
00:12:22.600 Without explicitly saying it
00:12:24.560 That was sort of
00:12:25.240 What's in it
00:12:26.180 And that
00:12:27.220 It was a mistake
00:12:28.260 Like what was the various things in it
00:12:29.320 Off the top of my head
00:12:29.760 It was a mistake to not select
00:12:31.720 Burnham
00:12:32.600 For that Gunton and Denton
00:12:33.820 By-election
00:12:34.380 You may still have lost it though
00:12:37.200 But anyway
00:12:37.560 So that's a mistake
00:12:38.320 We need our best talent
00:12:39.700 In Parliament
00:12:40.400 I thought they were saying
00:12:42.940 They needed their best talent
00:12:43.760 To be mayors
00:12:44.440 When he ran for mayor
00:12:45.700 First
00:12:46.920 Years ago
00:12:47.840 Anyway
00:12:48.520 she's now saying we need our best talent in parliament meaning burnham loads of leftist
00:12:53.780 things you know like the rich people are the problem trickle down economics is the problem
00:12:58.720 we need like privatization private ownership of things is the problem 1.00
00:13:04.020 just all leftoid crap she's an idiot she's a full-blown idiot doesn't know what she's talking 1.00
00:13:14.000 about okay the story graph treating i'm ready to be pm are you now it seemed like a silly little 1.00
00:13:24.400 boy larping as an mp never heard anything of real substance or vision from west treating never
00:13:34.960 have you
00:13:38.960 does he feel like a leader of men
00:13:44.000 No.
00:13:46.160 Seems like a bit of a pansy.
00:13:51.960 Klanski falsely claimed he worked at the Ministry of Defence. 0.85
00:13:54.660 Sure, why not?
00:13:55.760 He falsely claimed loads of stuff, hasn't he?
00:14:00.200 Loads and loads of things.
00:14:02.860 Turns out he wasn't actually a hypnotist.
00:14:04.440 Turns out he didn't actually ever work for the Red Cross.
00:14:06.680 Turns out he wasn't living exactly where he said he was
00:14:09.280 for council tax purposes.
00:14:11.940 Loads of things.
00:14:12.420 It's just a chance, isn't it
00:14:14.120 To say anything that he thinks might be in his interest
00:14:16.120 In any given moment
00:14:16.940 Don't worry about further down the line
00:14:18.740 If it all adds up
00:14:19.680 Apparently he'd claimed
00:14:25.660 That he'd worked for the Ministry of Justice
00:14:28.260 Like a while ago
00:14:30.520 When he was running to be the Deputy Leader
00:14:33.140 Of the Green Party
00:14:34.160 He'd claimed that
00:14:34.820 It's just not true
00:14:35.840 I don't know how people do this
00:14:40.440 Particularly if you're in public office
00:14:42.380 but even if you're not just claiming outright things that are just completely untrue not just
00:14:47.740 like spinning the truth a bit not just like exaggerating something a bit or omitting
00:14:52.020 something strategically are just a full-blown liar just completely false from top to bottom
00:14:58.700 and then you want to be in the public eye where people are going to go through what you've said 0.93
00:15:03.700 With a fine tooth comb
00:15:04.520 Mad
00:15:06.540 But then he is mad
00:15:09.840 Isn't he 0.99
00:15:10.180 A disgusting 0.98
00:15:12.140 Little subversive 1.00
00:15:13.180 Degenerate freak
00:15:13.980 Of a man
00:15:14.400 Isn't he
00:15:14.760 Alright
00:15:18.800 What else have we got
00:15:19.560 What else have we got 0.99
00:15:20.180 A bit of Iran 0.82
00:15:22.560 We'll talk about that
00:15:23.140 Later
00:15:23.560 It's not really on the front pages
00:15:24.740 Of the British print media
00:15:25.780 But it is all in the news
00:15:26.920 Mr Trump's war
00:15:27.680 And Iran
00:15:28.100 And all that sort of thing
00:15:28.740 There's been some movement
00:15:29.900 On some movement
00:15:31.100 At least diplomatically
00:15:32.280 On that
00:15:32.560 We'll talk about that in a bit
00:15:33.420 The Times, PM fights to save his skin after Rainer Ultimatum, okay, Ex Minister Rainer, demand shift to the left, his rival circle, Lucy Punch there, there you go, at the BAFTAs, Lucy Punch, okay, the iPaper, today or never, to save your job, Labour MPs tell Starmer, the blurb says, about the best you're going to get from Fleet Street,
00:16:02.300 Keir Starmer needs to deliver the speech of his life this morning
00:16:05.960 To seat off an attempt to kick him out of number 10
00:16:09.640 Less than two years after winning a landslide
00:16:11.860 The PM is due to promise he will put the UK
00:16:15.020 At the heart of Europe
00:16:16.980 In a bid to appease furious Labour MPs
00:16:21.120 By signaling a move towards a softer Brexit
00:16:23.140 So a classic example of putting party before country
00:16:27.540 sam's calculation is if the party want burnham and rayner i.e the left of the party
00:16:35.220 want them he'll try and steal their support by going further left himself
00:16:41.320 even though it's not what the country want the country at large wants
00:16:46.040 i mean i can point to the brexit referendum
00:16:52.420 can point to the trouncing you got at the local election a few days ago actually we take this
00:17:00.980 moment well let me finish reading the blurb then we'll look at the election results because they
00:17:04.640 weren't all in on friday morning last time i spoke to you were they let's finish up the blurb here
00:17:08.180 it says the race to replace pm has been thrown into disarray after little-known backbencher
00:17:14.780 catherine west launched a leadership bid plunging the government into crisis she didn't she's that's
00:17:20.860 that's not exactly what's happened she said she was going to launch a leadership race
00:17:29.120 not a bid herself there's no question that she was wanting to be the leader but you need something
00:17:37.480 like 20 of the parliamentary party to vote for that they've got something like just over 400
00:17:43.220 mps was it 403 406 something like that 20 of those the magic number is 81
00:17:50.680 they need 81 Labour MPs
00:17:52.960 one MP stands up and says
00:17:54.360 there's a vote of no confidence
00:17:56.100 you need 81 others to agree to that
00:17:59.320 she was saying she would start that process
00:18:03.400 but then perhaps
00:18:05.360 it might even be after this went to print
00:18:07.260 she said oh actually no
00:18:08.660 I'm going to wait to see what your speech on Monday says first
00:18:11.140 it's slightly incorrect reporting there
00:18:15.180 to say that she has launched it
00:18:16.660 she hasn't
00:18:18.340 maybe she will today
00:18:20.280 Depends if she's convinced 0.99
00:18:23.460 By what Sir Queer Starling 0.98
00:18:25.220 Says in his little speech 0.97
00:18:26.360 There's nothing he can say
00:18:30.920 To undo the last two years
00:18:32.280 Is there
00:18:32.600 Or indeed his entire life
00:18:34.600 In politics
00:18:35.720 West Streeting and Angela Rayner
00:18:40.120 Are set to play a key role 1.00
00:18:41.580 In any political leadership race 1.00
00:18:43.240 Well she can't at this stage 1.00
00:18:46.080 If it starts happening
00:18:48.180 In the next few days or weeks
00:18:49.360 unless HMRC miraculously just finished their investigation
00:18:54.320 and she's completely exonerated in the next few days.
00:19:00.200 Yeah, so Rainer and Streeting set to be potential leadership race people
00:19:04.300 with Andy Burnham desperate to return as an MP so that he can run.
00:19:09.460 Yeah, I bet he is, yeah.
00:19:11.120 One senior minister tells the iPaper,
00:19:13.080 Starmer no longer enjoys the support of all the members of his cabinet
00:19:16.100 But Caution's
00:19:19.080 Be careful what you wish for
00:19:20.880 Some of the last ditch
00:19:24.100 Attempts, last ditch angles
00:19:26.320 From the Starmer people
00:19:27.300 Is the classic
00:19:29.200 Don't change horse midstream
00:19:31.520 Don't change pilot mid-flight
00:19:33.500 Like you might not like Starmer
00:19:36.060 You might not be happy but
00:19:37.040 It would be worse if
00:19:39.320 David Lammy became Prime Minister
00:19:41.480 Or Angela Fridreiner Big Bird 0.76
00:19:46.100 it's a little bit of a pathetic last last ditch argument isn't it i'm really terrible sure but
00:19:56.800 there's even more terrible options out there a great argument is it you're hoping it would be
00:20:02.180 a positive optimistic here's why i'm the best here's why you should stay with me because of
00:20:07.340 positive things no just it would be worse it could be even worse all right so let's have a look at
00:20:14.300 the election results because on friday morning last time i spoke to you only about a fifth or
00:20:18.260 quarter of them were in so they're all in now and boom there they are there it is so it's largely
00:20:26.560 almost exactly the trend that we already saw on on friday morning but not quite so let's start
00:20:33.820 down this end when we were looking at it friday morning the independents were down a little bit
00:20:37.720 well they actually ended up up a little bit actually the thing that this portrays is that
00:20:42.780 A lot of them are Muslim ones
00:20:44.200 Usually independents 1.00
00:20:47.300 In the good old days
00:20:48.100 An independent 0.77
00:20:49.560 In local elections
00:20:51.880 Was just like a local person
00:20:54.660 That everyone knew and liked and trusted
00:20:56.540 More than
00:20:57.680 More than their actual
00:20:59.280 Normie party
00:21:02.220 Counsellors
00:21:03.100 And a handful of them would get in
00:21:05.920 Well
00:21:06.480 Although that is still the case
00:21:10.320 A lot of those 1.00
00:21:12.360 Would just be Muslims 0.81
00:21:13.720 In a really really heavily Muslim area 1.00
00:21:16.580 Might be long before there's like you know 0.99
00:21:20.260 Some sort of Muslim party of Britain
00:21:21.660 Muslim alliance of Britain or whatever
00:21:23.480 I wonder if that party
00:21:26.240 Will end up having to split down Sunni Shia 0.98
00:21:28.140 Lines 1.00
00:21:28.820 Alright so independence
00:21:32.080 Up a little bit
00:21:32.980 Not much though I mean in the scheme of things that's not much
00:21:35.900 But they are up 1.00
00:21:36.540 Greens up a fair bit 0.97
00:21:40.080 Alright
00:21:41.040 no no doubt about that there's no point trying to pretend that's nothing it's not nothing
00:21:46.760 but it's not gigantic though is it also let's be fair let's be honest it's not gigantic
00:21:54.180 some thought some were saying because of the gaunton and denton by-election result
00:21:57.820 and because uh zach polanski real name dovid paulden was doing okay in the polls until
00:22:04.320 recently until a week or two ago um that the greens might you know storm to victory
00:22:10.620 In this local election
00:22:11.900 And then in the next general election
00:22:13.260 That they're like the new great hope
00:22:15.780 That they'll usher in a society
00:22:20.680 Of hope and progressiveness
00:22:22.480 And that millions and millions
00:22:24.500 Of people up and down the country
00:22:25.640 Want that, really, really want that
00:22:28.140 No, not so much
00:22:30.100 No, so if you see there
00:22:34.100 Labour, a stonking loss
00:22:36.300 That's not quite as big
00:22:38.380 As some said, some said it might be
00:22:39.660 1700, 1800, 2000
00:22:41.460 still
00:22:42.220 a bit of that has gone to the left
00:22:45.600 gone to the Greens
00:22:46.560 but not
00:22:47.760 not a tidal wave to the left is it
00:22:51.840 Tories down more lovely
00:22:53.500 lovely jubbly, love to see it
00:22:55.420 nobody really likes
00:22:57.640 Olukemi Badenoch 0.86
00:22:59.820 the Nigerian woman 1.00
00:23:00.720 do they 1.00
00:23:01.700 I see some cope
00:23:07.520 some sort of Tory boy cope
00:23:09.100 On like Twitter and stuff
00:23:11.820 Saying it's not that bad
00:23:12.940 It's actually in the scheme of things
00:23:14.200 It's like some sort of win
00:23:15.200 Could have been a million times worse
00:23:18.780 I mean it's true
00:23:19.600 It could have been worse
00:23:20.200 That is true
00:23:20.960 But
00:23:21.480 If you look at it from this certain angle
00:23:24.380 From this certain
00:23:24.980 If you huff enough copium
00:23:26.420 It's actually a win
00:23:27.600 In some sense
00:23:29.820 No
00:23:30.400 Of course not
00:23:31.160 Of course not
00:23:31.900 Nobody wants 0.65
00:23:35.960 Ollie Kemi Badenok 0.91
00:23:36.960 Who not many years ago
00:23:38.220 was just a staunch open border person gloating in parliament on camera in parliament gloating
00:23:43.980 about getting loads of student student visas for foreign people that's who she really is i mean now
00:23:49.740 she calculates it's best for her and her party to pretend to be really based
00:23:56.140 no one buys it no one really buys it
00:24:00.780 so the toy party would love to see the conservative party 0.65
00:24:03.580 Destroyed and annihilated utterly
00:24:06.720 Lose all its funding 0.91
00:24:08.480 And just not be a thing at all
00:24:10.380 I would love my country
00:24:12.480 To just not have the Conservative Party
00:24:15.160 It doesn't exist
00:24:16.040 Zero seats, zero funding
00:24:20.900 They had their chance 0.71
00:24:27.000 And they flooded this country 1.00
00:24:29.340 With foreign rapists and murderers 1.00
00:24:31.140 That's what they did 1.00
00:24:32.240 Ruined the economy
00:24:33.800 Gloated about it
00:24:36.360 They don't deserve to exist anymore
00:24:41.120 Lib Dems, kind of flat
00:24:42.780 Up a bit
00:24:43.600 I'm not pretending they're not up a bit
00:24:45.380 But in the scheme of things
00:24:48.140 That's sort of flat
00:24:48.960 It's kind of positive
00:24:50.640 If they were down 155
00:24:53.780 That would be a different story
00:24:57.320 So they have picked up a bit
00:24:58.320 A little bit of the Labour support
00:25:00.260 Drained away
00:25:01.080 To the Greens and Lib Dems
00:25:03.940 But that's not a great deal
00:25:05.980 In the scheme of things, is it?
00:25:08.260 For the Lib Dems, as far as they're concerned
00:25:09.780 So the biggest story is
00:25:11.660 Mostly, I mean, look at those numbers
00:25:14.460 They're similar
00:25:15.160 Basically a giant, giant
00:25:17.380 Swathe of voters
00:25:20.200 Moving away from Labour
00:25:22.880 Straight into the reform column
00:25:25.220 And reform doing really well
00:25:27.600 As I say, we chucked loads of shade
00:25:29.840 at Nigel and Reform here.
00:25:31.560 We restore people.
00:25:36.080 I can't deny it.
00:25:37.220 I wouldn't begrudge them.
00:25:40.300 I'm not sort of...
00:25:41.280 I'm not sort of...
00:25:42.360 I'm not sort of so mean-spirited
00:25:46.380 that I'm going to begrudge them anything here.
00:25:49.460 Well done.
00:25:49.880 I mean, they are the most important player now,
00:25:53.300 aren't they,
00:25:53.740 in terms of local governance.
00:25:58.660 So well done.
00:25:59.300 I mean, well done
00:26:00.120 We'll see how they run their councils 0.76
00:26:06.300 That doesn't mean that a reformer actually control loads and loads of councils
00:26:14.240 Although they will control quite a lot
00:26:15.600 We'll see how they manage that
00:26:18.260 Whether they're able to, because of course they don't control government
00:26:21.700 They don't control the Home Office or the Treasury
00:26:26.120 So they don't hold the purse strings
00:26:27.940 and they can't ultimately dictate what, in the grandest sense,
00:26:33.380 what councils can or can't do and things.
00:26:37.340 So maybe an analogy is they've got one hand on the rein of power
00:26:43.240 in terms of local governance.
00:26:45.240 We'll see how they do what they do, how based they actually behave.
00:26:52.860 We'll see. We'll see.
00:26:54.360 And of course
00:26:56.160 Rupert Lowe
00:26:58.320 Restore
00:26:59.120 Sorry
00:26:59.440 Not Restore
00:27:00.460 Great Yarmouth first
00:27:02.240 You go on Twitter and say
00:27:04.500 Restore have done XYZ
00:27:05.860 And some people go
00:27:07.740 It's not Restore
00:27:08.880 It's Great Yarmouth first
00:27:10.220 Restore didn't win anything
00:27:11.460 Yeah yeah yeah
00:27:12.940 Yeah okay alright
00:27:13.940 We know
00:27:14.280 Alright
00:27:15.120 Well pointed out
00:27:16.160 Fedora tipper
00:27:17.080 Do you buy your fedoras wholesale
00:27:21.080 Or do you just buy them one at a time
00:27:24.360 All right, it's not technically restored, it's Great Yarmouth first.
00:27:27.700 Everyone knows what we're talking about.
00:27:28.780 Anyway, they did get a clean sweep of all nine.
00:27:32.440 The gang of nine. 0.60
00:27:34.580 Rupert's Rough Riders.
00:27:37.580 As I say before, keep it in perspective.
00:27:41.700 It's only a small corner of East Anglia, a small bit of Norfolk.
00:27:47.780 Nonetheless, as a trend.
00:27:49.720 For a party that's so new, it's actually quite a remarkable political achievement.
00:27:54.360 Considering their margins of success were massive,
00:27:58.320 100%, 200%, beating out the next person, nearly always reform,
00:28:02.740 by loads, it's not close, in all nine, in all nine, not even close.
00:28:06.880 I mean, it is Rupert's backyard, and he is sort of a beloved local MP,
00:28:10.420 constituency MP, largely, in Great Yarmouth, I think that's fair to say.
00:28:15.420 There you go, could that play out on a grander scale?
00:28:18.180 We'll see next year, when there's more local elections.
00:28:21.520 I'm sure Restore will be fielding loads more people at that point.
00:28:24.360 And ultimately the big day in 2029
00:28:26.980 If Starman doesn't call a general election before then
00:28:29.480 We shall see
00:28:30.360 We shall see if the message
00:28:31.380 The store's message truly resonates
00:28:33.100 Okay
00:28:35.620 So
00:28:36.180 They're the results
00:28:37.840 Let's get back to the front pages
00:28:39.780 The Financial Times
00:28:42.260 That thing I mentioned it once or twice in passing haven't I
00:28:44.740 There was a boat
00:28:46.440 A cruise ship
00:28:47.780 Where some sort of virus broke out
00:28:50.620 Hantavirus they call it
00:28:52.220 To do with
00:28:54.360 mouse or rat, urine and or faeces, faeces, um, makes human sick, that some people died,
00:29:01.600 actually died of it, anyway, that's in the news a bit, that some people have been evacuated
00:29:05.160 from that death ship, or whatever, but, okay, move on from that, Starmer faces fight for
00:29:12.920 his survival as threat of leadership challenge mounts, PM to deliver, quote, last chance,
00:29:18.440 quote, speech, Rainer calls for switch to the left, broad descent in the world,
00:29:24.360 labor ranks okay himco warns iran's iran could trigger rate rises as u.s voters sour on economy
00:29:31.920 himco is a large um like investment firm okay not one of the biggest in the world but
00:29:39.680 they've got a fair few trillion in assets under management they're not a tiny player
00:29:43.480 um i believe over the weekend some employment news came out of the united states which wasn't
00:29:49.400 too bad or it wasn't it wasn't quite as bad as expected
00:29:52.680 let's have a look at the price of oil we do that on the show don't we
00:29:57.720 on the low ceasers breakfast club hashtag the real lbc some of the headlines or some of the
00:30:04.640 things are saying oil has spiked the price of oil has spiked again yeah not really a little bit
00:30:10.480 it's hovering about the same isn't it west texas bang on 100 bucks a barrel right now
00:30:16.540 at this moment
00:30:18.060 these are real time
00:30:18.840 prices
00:30:19.560 rent
00:30:20.980 $105 a barrel
00:30:22.720 so
00:30:25.660 there you go
00:30:28.360 higher
00:30:29.620 higher than it was
00:30:31.400 in the beginning of February
00:30:32.540 but not astronomically higher
00:30:36.320 as I keep saying
00:30:38.140 alright
00:30:38.460 we'll move on from that
00:30:40.860 the express
00:30:41.700 oh it's a good paper
00:30:43.120 The Express
00:30:47.560 Pretty much the same as the mail really
00:30:49.880 Well
00:30:52.220 Sometimes they do say
00:30:53.580 Kind of based things
00:30:55.020 Kind of based articles
00:30:57.020 Opinion pieces
00:30:57.780 But still ultimately in the final reckoning
00:30:59.940 Globalist slop
00:31:01.500 The Express 0.96
00:31:03.980 Beligured Starmer to ditch EU red lines 0.52
00:31:06.720 As Rainer Stokes Labour Civil War
00:31:09.520 Okay
00:31:10.900 We get it right
00:31:12.020 How dare he
00:31:14.500 PM plots to rip up Brexit
00:31:16.260 How dare he
00:31:18.460 There's a picture of Alan Carr
00:31:21.240 Winning some sort of BAFTA
00:31:22.980 Again a complete degenerate 0.99
00:31:25.880 Freak weirdo 0.99
00:31:27.720 That the TV have decided 0.96
00:31:30.740 Is like important
00:31:32.000 And needs to be on TV all the time
00:31:33.680 Again it's the measure isn't it
00:31:36.680 Of TV and the entertainment business
00:31:38.920 And the BAFTAs
00:31:40.780 Now, if anyone in the world, anyone in the world they can sort of promote for overexposure,
00:31:48.480 they pick a freak like Alan Carr.
00:31:56.640 Hardly watch TV ever nowadays.
00:32:01.720 I've got my Columbo box set.
00:32:03.380 I'm happy with that.
00:32:04.680 I'll go back and just re-watch Columbo.
00:32:06.460 It's fine.
00:32:09.080 I'm not joking, either.
00:32:10.000 right the metro
00:32:11.020 ugh
00:32:11.380 ugh
00:32:13.020 the staying hand one

00:32:19.600 pressure polls on PM
00:32:21.560 after election disaster
00:32:22.620 fight or go
00:32:23.600 challenger tells Starmer
00:32:25.040 look
00:32:25.660 look at this
00:32:26.720 Catherine West
00:32:28.040 lefty Labour backbencher
00:32:30.200 ugh

00:32:34.100 gross
00:32:38.720 We'll move on
00:32:41.240 The Sun goes with something a bit different
00:32:43.540 Strictly Come Dancing 1.00
00:32:45.540 If anyone isn't British
00:32:46.880 Think once or even twice
00:32:48.680 Because they put it on the paper as a fair bit
00:32:50.520 I've mentioned to you
00:32:51.320 There's a show, Strictly Come Dancing
00:32:53.380 Where celebrities and a professional dancer
00:32:56.960 Dance
00:32:58.500 And then some judges
00:33:00.920 Judge how well they danced
00:33:02.880 And that gets massive, massive ratings
00:33:07.860 Completely vapid isn't it
00:33:11.440 Completely vacuous
00:33:12.620 It couldn't be more sort of bread and circuses could it
00:33:15.380 While the country burns 0.95
00:33:17.520 While we're getting demographically replaced 0.68
00:33:22.400 Industrial scale sexual assault against our native women
00:33:28.200 Atrocity after atrocity
00:33:32.680 Socialist government tanking our economy in real time
00:33:37.360 You just watch these pretty people dance 0.85
00:33:40.880 Okay
00:33:44.500 Well Tess Daly 0.99
00:33:45.940 That woman
00:33:47.100 Who's broken up with Vernon Kaye instantly 1.00
00:33:50.000 Used to be the host 1.00
00:33:51.760 These two women used to be the host 1.00
00:33:54.640 And now they're not 1.00
00:33:55.500 And they've replaced her with Emma Willis 1.00
00:33:57.080 This woman 1.00
00:33:57.520 Okay that's the front page of The Sun 1.00
00:33:59.700 Willis to sign as host of dance show
00:34:02.480 Mum of three, fifty
00:34:03.860 But look they wrote that
00:34:06.320 Emma Willis, mum of three, 50.
00:34:08.600 Alright.
00:34:12.600 She was alright for 50, didn't she?
00:34:15.480 Mum of three will be new to study. 0.63
00:34:17.440 That's the most salient thing about her.
00:34:20.900 The very, very first thing you use to describe her in any way
00:34:24.420 is that she's a mum of three.
00:34:31.280 Strictly, it's Emma.
00:34:32.720 Okay, don't care. 0.99
00:34:33.700 The star, let's move on.
00:34:34.540 the star oh the star goes for something completely different that's a slop maybe not entirely slop
00:34:42.040 maybe it might cause the death of loads and loads of people at some point later in the year i doubt
00:34:46.280 it but they say the big the big stadium in mexico city because there's the world cup this summer
00:34:53.300 isn't it it's been jointly hosted by america and mexico and is it also canada definitely the united
00:34:59.280 States and Mexico, hosting the World Cup, Football World Cup, or soccer, if you're an
00:35:07.440 American, their massive stadium is a massive stadium, it's sort of subsiding or sinking
00:35:14.620 in some way, World Cup Stadium shock, they sink it all over again, I think I must have
00:35:21.640 mentioned at least once before, they love this pun or wordplay, in 1966 in the World
00:35:27.960 cup final right at the end when england beat west germany 4-2 we're winning 3-2 right at the end of
00:35:36.300 the game seconds left to go before the final whistle some fans started running on the pitch
00:35:42.280 literally seconds to go and then um west ham player scores another goal making it 4-2
00:35:47.860 the commentator goes they think it's all over the fans they think it's all over
00:35:51.280 it is now okay they think it's all over and the star goes with they sink it's all over do you
00:36:00.620 get it do you get the clever clever wordplay it's probably absolutely nothing isn't it but
00:36:06.840 well if that stadium did collapse with tens of thousands of people in it or a portion of it
00:36:11.520 that would be a absolute terrible disaster saying they're saying there's big
00:36:15.900 Quote, big chunks of concrete dropping off
00:36:19.180 Bit of a worry, isn't it?
00:36:23.860 Bit of a worry
00:36:24.860 Okay, those are the papers
00:36:26.260 Those are the headlines of the front pages of the papers
00:36:31.100 Shall we have a look at our poll?
00:36:34.360 Harry, you'll have to bring that up for me
00:36:35.820 On my screen
00:36:36.940 Make it so
00:36:38.640 Engage
00:36:40.680 Oh, you've done it, there you go
00:36:41.520 We asked you today
00:36:44.380 do you think trump should start bombing iran again we haven't talked about much about iran
00:36:50.620 we'll do that now then but we asked you do you think he should like he's actually the
00:36:56.240 at this point let's not talk about whether he should have started the war
00:37:00.760 at all but now we're here now we're at this point in history is it actually the right thing at this
00:37:07.440 point now to start bombing them again very very split almost perfectly down the middle
00:37:15.360 do you think trump should start bombing iran yes 49 no 51 with over 1100 votes cast so
00:37:28.360 perfect almost perfectly split down the middle isn't it so should we talk a bit about that why
00:37:33.800 we ask that question specifically what's going on with with uh with trump and iran we've got
00:37:40.200 an article here here we go look trump calls iran response to u.s proposal to end war totally
00:37:46.180 unacceptable so what it is there's been this ceasefire hasn't there except it's not even a
00:37:53.780 ceasefire they've exchanged fire a bit between each other but at least on the american side
00:37:59.700 Exist and Rubio and Trump
00:38:01.440 Insisting there is still a ceasefire in place
00:38:04.080 Despite
00:38:05.120 Actual kinetic weapons being fired
00:38:08.260 Between them
00:38:08.860 They're insisting there is a ceasefire
00:38:11.380 So that some diplomacy can be done
00:38:13.020 Trump wants an off-ramp
00:38:15.340 Wants an end to the war
00:38:17.060 He said even just over the weekend
00:38:19.360 Only a few days ago anyway
00:38:21.380 This war will be over quickly
00:38:23.160 He doesn't want to be
00:38:24.860 He really doesn't, does he? I believe that
00:38:26.180 He doesn't want to be a forever war guy
00:38:28.620 and so there's been back and forth and with the Pakistanis being mediators the Americans had this
00:38:36.780 is just an overview there's a lot more to all of it but just to give you an overview Americans had
00:38:41.580 a one-page memorandum sort of I think a 14-point memorandum all the points they need Iran to agree
00:38:46.460 to Iran spent a few days or over the weekend mulling that apparently and finally gave a
00:38:52.540 response which i'm not sure is fully published but the americans have seen it trump and the
00:38:58.800 state department everything have seen it and trump said no it's totally unacceptable
00:39:04.600 because apparently what it said or what it did say the iranian response to america's 14 point
00:39:12.980 memorandum was that no we still insist on having we iran still insist on having full sovereignty
00:39:19.060 full control over the straits of homus you need to stop your blockade we need to be able to sell
00:39:25.380 our oil like straight away immediately your embargoes on us need to be halted for at least
00:39:31.460 30 days uh and and we don't give up our right to keep enriching uranium we're not just going to give
00:39:40.980 up the stockpiles we've got even if they are buried under a mountain or whatever so may all
00:39:45.780 the main points that the united states and more importantly perhaps israel are insisting on
00:39:52.740 iran still just not budging over them so trump says it's totally unacceptable
00:39:59.140 okay so we're at a bit of an impasse then aren't we we're a bit of an impasse
00:40:06.020 the americans and the israelis have got their line in the sand
00:40:08.740 the things they're insisting upon and iran just won't budge
00:40:12.340 So what are you going to do
00:40:15.720 Mr Trump
00:40:18.460 Mr Rubio
00:40:19.180 Mr Hexist
00:40:19.900 What are you going to do
00:40:20.440 Again
00:40:23.560 Let's not talk about
00:40:24.440 Let's not worry about
00:40:25.220 Whether 0.95
00:40:25.520 The war was a prudent thing 0.91
00:40:28.280 To do in the first place 1.00
00:40:29.120 I mean we can
00:40:30.040 Historians will
00:40:30.960 You can of course
00:40:31.820 But
00:40:32.300 I'm just talking about
00:40:33.420 We're here now
00:40:34.460 Okay
00:40:35.240 Just what now
00:40:36.180 Well 0.98
00:40:40.240 Iran have called your bluff 1.00
00:40:44.460 Haven't they basically 1.00
00:40:45.160 They have called your bluff
00:40:46.220 You keep saying
00:40:47.380 You're going to 0.93
00:40:48.480 Destroy all their
00:40:49.680 Power plants
00:40:51.040 And bridges
00:40:51.940 If they don't do it
00:40:53.280 Or as you said
00:40:54.420 You wipe them off
00:40:55.140 The face of the earth 1.00
00:40:56.040 You wipe them off the map 1.00
00:40:56.920 You send them 1.00
00:40:58.200 Send them back to the stone age 0.96
00:40:59.900 Various
00:41:01.380 Iterations of that
00:41:02.860 Sentiment
00:41:03.760 And they've just called your bluff
00:41:06.240 Haven't they
00:41:06.880 They've just said
00:41:07.420 Go on then
00:41:07.840 we're not giving up the key things
00:41:12.160 we're not going to what now so i mean what now i i don't know the poll is does reflect my feeling
00:41:21.120 i don't know i don't know i mean from a purely if you were if there was no real human life at stake
00:41:29.000 there was nothing really like you were just playing a strategy game right
00:41:32.840 It's just a game
00:41:35.680 You would start bombing them again, wouldn't you?
00:41:38.800 Because
00:41:39.080 That's sort of
00:41:42.440 Like from a completely emotionless point of view
00:41:45.120 That would be the only real strategy
00:41:48.940 At this point, wouldn't it?
00:41:52.160 The avenues of diplomacy seem to have been exhausted
00:41:54.740 Seem to have been
00:41:55.900 You've threatened loads
00:41:59.940 To keep bombing them 0.73
00:42:01.200 If they don't make a deal
00:42:02.240 and they haven't made a deal.
00:42:05.600 So, I mean, watching things like Fox News, for example,
00:42:12.580 a lot of them have been saying all over the weekend,
00:42:15.140 all right, well, you know, they're hawkish, aren't they?
00:42:17.420 They're like, all right, well, yeah, 0.70
00:42:18.520 we need to start bombing them again now.
00:42:21.160 We need to try and change,
00:42:22.240 we need a bigger, newer effort 0.97
00:42:23.680 to bomb the hell out of them, 0.93
00:42:27.460 hopefully get a regime change, 1.00
00:42:28.940 hopefully bomb them so much 1.00
00:42:30.800 That the people of Iran can rise up 1.00
00:42:32.740 And all that stuff again
00:42:33.660 I don't know, but would that work?
00:42:39.260 Can that work?
00:42:42.140 Who knows
00:42:42.580 It's very interesting, it's over 1,200 votes now
00:42:45.980 On our poll
00:42:46.440 Still, 49-51
00:42:49.000 Yeah
00:42:50.300 It's a bit of a sticky wicket, isn't it? 1.00
00:42:53.400 As far as the Americans and the Israelis are concerned 1.00
00:42:55.180 Their overall plan
00:42:57.540 Their overall strategy
00:42:58.600 Aren't they kidding?
00:43:04.840 We'll see
00:43:05.500 Will the taco mean
00:43:07.460 Trump always chickens out
00:43:09.240 Will that play out?
00:43:10.660 Will that be vindicated? 0.99
00:43:14.940 Or will the madman of New York 1.00
00:43:17.180 Unleash hell? 0.99
00:43:20.340 At Trump's signal
00:43:21.460 Unleash hell
00:43:22.220 No
00:43:24.580 I feel like he doesn't want to do that, does he?
00:43:27.100 I feel like his natural inclination is to not do that
00:43:30.500 But I feel like he has painted himself into a corner a bit on that
00:43:36.840 He's got fewer and fewer and fewer options
00:43:40.620 People say, you know, he's not dealing with a particularly rational actor in Iran 0.88
00:43:48.180 A more normal government would have realised they'd beat militarily
00:43:54.460 And conceded a bunch of things to the United States by this point
00:43:58.000 Wouldn't they?
00:43:59.080 But they're just not
00:43:59.840 They're just refusing to
00:44:01.800 So, alright
00:44:05.260 Alright, you get it
00:44:07.420 That's a bit about Iran
00:44:08.220 That's the latest on Iran
00:44:09.360 Yeah, the Waterwall Starmer stuff
00:44:13.380 A slightly interesting story here
00:44:16.420 Slightly interesting story
00:44:18.400 This guy, what's his name? Gibbons
00:44:22.240 Glenn Gibbons
00:44:24.140 A restore councillor
00:44:26.240 Who won a council seat
00:44:27.380 On Thursday
00:44:29.000 Said
00:44:31.920 What did he say 0.99
00:44:33.820 He said Nigerians should be melted down 0.78
00:44:36.700 To fill potholes 0.99
00:44:37.740 That's spicy
00:44:40.480 I've never said anything that spicy
00:44:43.300 On Twitter
00:44:45.480 Or in real life
00:44:46.560 Or in an article or anything
00:44:48.300 Anyway he said that
00:44:49.920 And the story here is a bit odd 0.87
00:44:53.000 Because it's saying, like, Ticey Dicey, Dick Tice, moral, political coward, Richard Tice
00:44:59.200 Like, refused to condemn him
00:45:02.920 But not really, though, because the party, Reform, have suspended him
00:45:07.720 Or investigated him, so, I mean, what do you want, ITV News?
00:45:13.580 They're trying to dunk on Reform here, but they have suspended him, so what do you want?
00:45:23.000 All right, I mean, I don't think, I don't want to speak for what was in Mr. Kibin's
00:45:29.740 mind, but I suspect that's like just a really dark humour joke, I doubt he genuinely really
00:45:38.520 wants to physically melt down Nigerians, in order to fill potholes, it's just really
00:45:48.740 really spicy humour isn't it, I would have thought. 0.93
00:45:53.000 Maybe not
00:45:54.140 Maybe he really wants to do that 1.00
00:45:56.260 For reals 0.99
00:45:56.680 He doesn't does he
00:45:57.480 Come on
00:45:58.120 Come on
00:45:58.880 But that's where we are now
00:45:59.720 You can't make really dark jokes
00:46:01.840 Can't do that
00:46:02.820 And want to be in office
00:46:04.380 Can't do it
00:46:05.480 It's not allowed
00:46:06.380 Well
00:46:07.680 All the mainstream parties anyway
00:46:10.140 We'll see if Restore
00:46:13.120 Will allow such things
00:46:14.300 Hopefully
00:46:16.700 Maybe
00:46:17.340 Who knows
00:46:18.020 Alright
00:46:18.840 Relatively small story there
00:46:23.000 Oh, it's already nearly 10-2
00:46:25.840 Gone past, called past
00:46:27.160 Alright, shall we have a look at On This Day in History
00:46:29.460 You like that section, I like doing that section
00:46:32.320 On This Day in History, the 11th of May
00:46:34.140 Down through the centuries
00:46:35.060 What happened of note? Let's have a look
00:46:38.240 Okay, On This Day in 330 AD
00:46:40.380 Newly built city of Constantinople
00:46:42.620 Or in Latin, Byzantium
00:46:44.840 Dedicated to Emperor
00:46:46.720 Constantine the Great, Constantine the First
00:46:48.680 Becomes the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire
00:46:50.960 I mean, there already was a settlement there
00:46:52.600 There's been a settlement there
00:46:53.700 Since time immemorial
00:46:54.920 It's a really, really obvious place
00:46:56.280 To build a settlement
00:46:57.240 Even in the days of Xenophon and stuff
00:47:03.380 Anyway
00:47:04.000 Constantine
00:47:05.260 Great bit in Edward Gibbon's
00:47:07.420 Decline and fall of the Roman Empire
00:47:10.480 Great few chapters
00:47:12.980 All about that
00:47:14.380 How Constantine decided
00:47:17.840 That Rome itself
00:47:19.540 In sort of the middle of Italy
00:47:21.900 isn't best placed strategically to govern a giant empire
00:47:26.420 that stretched from Scotland to the Euphrates.
00:47:32.380 A much better spot for it is Constantinople.
00:47:36.060 Or it's modern-day Istanbul.
00:47:37.860 Byzantium, Constantinople, Istanbul, it's all the same place.
00:47:42.640 He moved loads of the elite, sort of induced, 0.67
00:47:46.760 perhaps coerced loads of the Roman elite
00:47:49.200 to move from Rome to Constantinople.
00:47:51.900 Bring loads of the jewels, bring loads of the great statues with them.
00:47:57.740 A massive shift in the Roman world towards the east during the reign of Constantine the Great,
00:48:04.120 or the latter part of the reign of Constantine the Great.
00:48:09.120 Some great chapters in Gibbon, if you're interested in that.
00:48:11.880 In the year 1189, on this day, the home of Roman Emperor Frederick I Barbosa and 100,000 Crusaders
00:48:18.980 Depart Regensburg
00:48:20.800 For the third crusade
00:48:22.460 The third crusade is that one
00:48:23.700 With Richard the Lionheart
00:48:26.220 The Coeur de Leon 0.99
00:48:26.820 Versus Saladin
00:48:27.820 Barbosa never got there though
00:48:31.640 On the way he fell off his horse
00:48:33.220 And drowned in a river
00:48:34.140 He was wearing heavy armour
00:48:36.460 The counts differ on exactly what happened
00:48:38.320 But one way or another
00:48:39.460 He fell in a river
00:48:41.080 And either got swept away
00:48:42.140 Or just drowned
00:48:42.740 A little bit suspicious
00:48:44.400 No one there to save him 0.89
00:48:48.980 really important one of the most important players in in europe there only roman emperor just
00:48:56.280 accidentally quote-unquote accidentally drowned all right on this day in 1751 pennsylvania hospital
00:49:04.700 is founded in philadelphia by dr thomas bond and benjamin franklin don't know a great amount about
00:49:12.260 that particular hospital but i have got all sorts of content about the founding fathers and benjamin
00:49:16.620 Franklin Benjamin Franklin fascinating dude I'm a big fan of Benjamin Franklin not everything he
00:49:21.200 ever seen ever said and did but very very very interesting person Benjamin Franklin
00:49:25.680 fascinating if you're interested in the founding fathers and the war of independence and the United
00:49:34.140 States of the late 18th century start with Benjamin Franklin if you're interested in the
00:49:39.720 Elizabethan age start with the person of Elizabeth the first learn all about her and then you can
00:49:44.880 build out around her i think for the american war of independence a good place to start is
00:49:50.680 benjamin franklin learn all about him and his life and then start building around that that's
00:49:57.180 my advice okay on this day in 1812 the british prime minister spencer percival is assassinated
00:50:04.720 by john benningham in the lobby of the house of commons london it says ironically descendants of
00:50:10.740 Both later stand for the same seat in Parliament at the same time,
00:50:14.200 but neither wins.
00:50:15.080 That's not important.
00:50:15.980 Okay, there's the only Prime Minister ever to be assassinated
00:50:18.280 whilst in office, Spencer Percival.
00:50:21.760 1812, you might think, oh, is this to do with Napoleon in some way?
00:50:29.100 The 20 years, almost World War, to do with Napoleon,
00:50:35.000 or perhaps to do with the United States.
00:50:37.260 And the war of 1812
00:50:39.440 Or the looming war of 1812
00:50:40.920 No
00:50:41.160 No
00:50:42.340 John Bellingham was just some sort of
00:50:45.180 Psycho dude
00:50:45.920 He had nothing to do with
00:50:47.000 Global events at all
00:50:48.300 1812, a massively pivotal year 0.99
00:50:50.160 Oh, it's the year Napoleon
00:50:52.620 Attempts to invade Russia, isn't it?
00:50:57.360 Massively, massively pivotal year 0.94
00:50:59.320 For world history
00:51:00.240 1812
00:51:01.500 John Bellingham
00:51:02.400 Nothing to do with any of it
00:51:03.620 He was just some dude
00:51:06.300 Who had to
00:51:07.000 he owed the russians loads of money and got himself into debt and back in those days you 0.56
00:51:13.460 go to prison for debt they had whole debtors jails you got in too much debt you would put in prison
00:51:19.860 not a bad way of doing it actually those actually maybe not these prisons were pretty bad anyway
00:51:28.360 he went to prison for something like five years because he got in so much debt
00:51:31.440 And he thought that the British government
00:51:34.560 Should bail him out for that
00:51:37.080 Or help him out in some way
00:51:38.880 Or at least sort of clear his name in some way
00:51:42.180 And they didn't
00:51:42.880 And he was so
00:51:45.160 Hurt by that 0.85
00:51:47.420 That he decided he was going to murder the Prime Minister
00:51:51.100 And did
00:51:51.600 There you go
00:51:55.680 Alright, on this day in 1934
00:51:58.520 The Great Dust Bowl
00:51:59.960 They've mentioned the Dust Bowl more than once
00:52:02.600 Haven't they on this website
00:52:03.420 Whoever does these
00:52:05.320 Is obviously fascinated by the Dust Bowl
00:52:07.840 The great Dust Bowl storm
00:52:09.260 Sweeps across the American and Canadian prairies 0.70
00:52:12.420 Travelling as far as the east coast
00:52:14.940 We've talked a little bit about that before
00:52:17.760 Haven't we in passing
00:52:18.600 Right in the middle of the depression
00:52:21.880 Towards the end of the depression
00:52:23.000 Just an extra piece of bad luck really
00:52:26.580 The climate conditions
00:52:29.420 Caused a few terrible harvests
00:52:34.520 And giant dust storms
00:52:36.760 The last thing America needed
00:52:39.780 After the years of depression
00:52:41.420 Five odd years of depression
00:52:42.720 Terrible
00:52:44.660 Okay, on this day in 1995
00:52:47.240 More than 170 countries agreed to extend
00:52:49.860 The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
00:52:53.980 Indefinitely and without conditions
00:52:55.980 To prevent the spread of nuclear weapons
00:52:59.000 yeah not a bad thing surely the doctrine of mad mutually assured destruction is a bit mad
00:53:08.720 some say it's prevented many conventional wars since then and they may well not be wrong well
00:53:17.480 they're not wrong it's good that mad is good and bad isn't it it's you can make the argument both
00:53:23.280 ways but nonetheless most countries agreed to not even ever really start a nuclear program
00:53:31.440 it's insanely expensive anyway you need loads and loads and loads of raw materials all of your own
00:53:36.440 because the big players probably won't let you do it won't sell you what you need so you need to be
00:53:41.440 a massive country to begin with probably and very very rich so the vast majority of countries could
00:53:46.540 I just can't really dream of it anyway.
00:53:50.300 Okay, I'm interested in the history of nuclear weapons
00:53:54.440 and the attempt to ban them.
00:53:58.720 Okay, on this day in the year 2000,
00:54:01.440 India's population officially reaches 1 billion.
00:54:05.860 Great.
00:54:07.060 All right, shall we have a look at the Rumble Ransom Super Chats?
00:54:12.800 It's nearly the top of the hour.
00:54:14.180 let me do this with my mic boom so I can see the left hand side of my screen
00:54:17.840 where my rumble rants are, alright, we've got two, who's in at number one, come on
00:54:22.440 reigning, defending
00:54:25.960 and still the king
00:54:30.340 of Bosho rumble rants, Global Church History, you've got to get up
00:54:34.320 quite literally early in the morning to beat this guy, thanks buddy, I appreciate it
00:54:38.780 you've got to respect the grind, Global Church History says
00:54:41.720 on this day in 973 AD
00:54:44.860 King St Edgar the Peaceful
00:54:47.960 and Queen Elfgifu
00:54:49.920 oh you've written it
00:54:51.320 Ethel Rith
00:54:52.220 celebrate the first recorded English coronation
00:54:55.780 okay
00:54:57.020 what do you reckon the chances are
00:54:59.400 that on my history show
00:55:01.720 Bodade's Epochs
00:55:02.700 Bodade's Epochs
00:55:05.880 my own history show behind the paywall
00:55:08.060 on lotusseeds.com
00:55:08.940 do you consider and sign up for as little as £5 a month
00:55:10.740 the Bronx team membership, over 260 episodes, only hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of
00:55:15.200 hours of me talking about history. What do you reckon I've talked all about the Anglo-Saxon
00:55:19.840 world? Loads. For hours and hours and hours. You reckon it's there? Behind the paywall?
00:55:26.080 You bet your sweet ass it's there. Yeah. So Edgar, St Edgar the Peaceful, what was he? 0.99
00:55:35.180 God, off the top of my head now. He's the father of Ethel Red the Unready, isn't he?
00:55:40.740 correct me if i'm wrong i think i think that's right i'm sure that's right
00:55:44.520 so we're in like this almost the twilight of the anglo-saxon
00:55:49.680 period now i mean it's got another 90 odd years
00:55:52.300 it's towards the end of the anglo-saxon period the viking invasions started
00:55:58.200 200 years before that right like the first raid on lindisfarne is in the 790s
00:56:05.520 But I think Edgar the Peaceful's reign
00:56:09.820 Was peaceful
00:56:11.840 Because there were no Viking raids
00:56:14.000 Or very few Viking raids
00:56:15.360 During that 20 odd years
00:56:16.820 20, 30 years
00:56:17.680 So that's why his reign's peaceful
00:56:20.460 But they came back
00:56:22.360 It was only sort of a lull
00:56:24.040 Well in the end
00:56:26.660 You've got like the St Bryce's Day Massacre
00:56:28.260 Or 1003
00:56:29.340 And then Sven Falkbeard comes over
00:56:32.640 Conquers England 1.00
00:56:33.900 A Viking conquers England 1.00
00:56:35.240 You're like 1013 1.00
00:56:36.560 Then you've got Canute 0.55
00:56:38.260 King Canute, a Viking 0.90
00:56:39.800 The King of Norway is now the King of England 1.00
00:56:42.280 Get rid of him, eventually 1.00
00:56:45.860 Get Anglo-Saxons back 1.00
00:56:50.480 Ethel Red the Unready and stuff 0.98
00:56:51.920 Anyway, in the end
00:56:53.480 St Edward, the Confessor
00:56:58.300 Finally dies
00:57:01.280 Harold Goodwinson tries to take over
00:57:03.160 And then you've got the Norman invasion
00:57:04.300 that's the end of that's the end of the anglo-saxon world so you might argue that the reign of edgar
00:57:10.940 the peaceful and his queen elf gifu or f ethel with as you've put their classic anglo-saxon name
00:57:18.620 um might be one of the last sort of quiet periods relatively quiet period
00:57:23.420 of anglo-saxon rule throughout what the 960s 970s 980s
00:57:30.060 all right and the other thing you've said there is and in 1502 christopher columbus embarked on
00:57:38.740 his fourth and final voyage yeah there you go you said yeah i often like to mention that if ever
00:57:44.240 christopher columbus comes up just to mention he did it more than once as soon as he did it pretty
00:57:49.220 much as soon as he crossed the ocean blue people just realized oh it totally can be done as long
00:57:54.740 you've got enough water and biscuit and enough balls you can just do that so people start doing
00:58:00.780 it loads he himself did it four times okay all right interesting the only other rumble rant
00:58:07.720 we've got this morning is from 14 barbara thank you sir he's a uh super fan appreciate it thank
00:58:14.260 you morning sir you're all right i'm all right cheers hope you're doing well hope you had a good
00:58:19.640 weekend. Have you read The Prince by Machiavelli? Yeah. Yeah. Got content on it. In conversation
00:58:32.000 with one Mr. Carl Benjamin, got a long-form bit of content on it. Read it more than once.
00:58:35.780 Listen to it on audiobook more than once. It's a must. You say, have I read it? If so,
00:58:42.320 any good. I doubt that Starmer will quit, but I imagine some Labour MPs will join reform
00:58:47.100 and make the government smaller so uh is it any good yes it's fascinating if that's your sort of
00:58:53.420 thing i mean is what is 15th century italian a 15th century italian thing it's like dedicated
00:59:01.820 to the medici but if you're interested in sort of well well politics grand the grand view of
00:59:12.460 politics and power then yeah it's not the easiest thing to get into it's not as simple as reading a
00:59:16.940 Dan Brown novel you've got to get your ear in you've got to get used to it and he references
00:59:21.780 loads of things that he doesn't explain so if you're not familiar with 15th century Italian
00:59:27.040 politics you might have to stop a fair bit and read up who's that you know what's that a reference
00:59:32.660 to what does he mean when he's saying that there's a bit of that to it but perhaps if you get one
00:59:37.140 where there's loads of footnotes and it will tell you what he's talking about um definitely worth a
00:59:45.320 read definitely worth a read i would say some of the things he says are timeless absolutely timeless
00:59:52.560 like don't allow yourself to be invaded by foreign people don't try and create a mercenary army of
00:59:59.040 foreigners loads of things keep your eye on the prize power is all important yeah loads of things
01:00:05.820 that absolutely ring true to this day and almost certainly always will whilst the human condition
01:00:09.880 whilst humans are the way they are will remain true is it good yes it's good it's worth a read
01:00:16.500 okay you say i doubt the starmer will quit yeah me too but i imagine some labor mps will join
01:00:21.920 reform and make the government smaller labor mps joining reform one or two maybe
01:00:26.320 the staunch starmer rats in cabinet won't be doing that will they but um yeah maybe a few
01:00:33.540 Maybe a few 0.85
01:00:34.680 I think there has been
01:00:37.380 There's been talk of
01:00:39.800 Labour MPs
01:00:41.120 Probably crossing the aisle
01:00:42.560 And some other councillors
01:00:45.880 I think there's been Labour councillors
01:00:47.840 That have effected to reform
01:00:49.440 Haven't there
01:00:49.960 But we'll see
01:00:51.780 We'll see if reform will accept them
01:00:54.980 Probably would wouldn't they
01:00:56.860 I wouldn't
01:01:00.800 I wouldn't dream of it
01:01:01.840 okay
01:01:03.840 Nigel's a funny one isn't he
01:01:07.380 funny one alright let's have a look at the
01:01:11.180 YouTube superchats there's a few of these a dozen or so let's whip through them

01:02:36.720 The Barnacle 1.00
01:02:38.060 Yeah
01:02:39.340 Yeah
01:02:41.120 King Charles III is weirdly
01:02:44.880 Islamophile, isn't he? 0.99
01:02:48.260 Oddly 1.00
01:02:48.680 Really, really, really
01:02:52.140 Subversive and weird for the King of England
01:02:54.040 The head of the Church of England
01:02:55.600 To essentially be
01:02:57.000 Overtly and expressively
01:02:59.220 Over the top
01:03:00.800 So 0.99
01:03:01.260 Pro-Islam 1.00
01:03:02.900 What a freak 1.00
01:03:04.300 What a disgusting 0.95
01:03:05.200 Sausage fingered 1.00
01:03:06.180 Half German
01:03:07.380 Half Greek 0.88
01:03:08.160 Freak 1.00
01:03:08.880 And Starmer the Barnacle
01:03:12.320 Yeah he just won't
01:03:13.040 Won't give up
01:03:13.600 Stubborn
01:03:14.680 Clinging on stubbornly
01:03:16.680 Yeah good call
01:03:18.220 Shona again says
01:03:19.500 Big Bird had a personal photographer
01:03:22.560 maybe there's been a few
01:03:27.460 there's been a few
01:03:28.660 photoshops done
01:03:31.680 or AI images generated
01:03:33.100 where I've called her Big Bird
01:03:34.680 I was the first one to say that
01:03:37.720 that's just me
01:03:38.200 a few people on Twitter last night
01:03:40.280 posted some pictures
01:03:42.500 adding me in a few pictures
01:03:43.620 where they've put Big Bird legs on her 1.00
01:03:46.140 get a fridge
01:03:47.620 put Angela Rayner's face on it
01:03:49.660 and put Big Bird from Sesame Street's legs on it
01:03:51.860 how's that not funny there's no way that's not going to be funny to me
01:03:56.500 okay thomas tyne says you know what would be great is if here in the u.s we could get people
01:04:06.620 to vote for some new party instead of freaking red and blue forever and ever yeah yeah yeah
01:04:11.060 that'd be great wouldn't it to break the two-party system in the united states would be great
01:04:14.840 it's even more difficult there than it is here it's very very difficult here but it's even harder
01:04:19.540 there because they've got it sewn up in all sorts of different ways occasionally the libertarian
01:04:24.320 party have sort of just about a look in don't they you have to get to a certain level before
01:04:29.680 you're even sort of allowed to take part in tv debates and all sorts of things aren't there
01:04:34.620 there's sort of quite a high threshold but that would be great yeah when there's a two-party
01:04:39.960 system and it's so sewn up like that it's almost like a one-party system isn't it it's basically
01:04:47.260 a one-party system in all but name isn't it you might get a maverick like donald trump
01:04:53.180 he still has to operate within that paradigm doesn't he so i couldn't agree with you more
01:04:58.940 i would love to see the two-party system broken in the united states that would be great
01:05:05.740 they will do everything in their power to prevent that shona again says uh there's a war in britain 0.66
