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

00:31:14.500 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

00:32:34.100 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

01:02:30.300 Something wickedly that Shona 0.87

01:02:32.360 Superfan Shona says 1.00

01:02:33.620 King Charlie the Muslim and Starmer 0.88

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
