00:00:26.700 I don't particularly hate Mondays
00:00:28.980 it's funny you mention that though there was a story in the news probably won't bother getting
00:00:33.260 into it but it was about that girl that girl who shot a load of people it was in the 70s or maybe
00:00:38.420 very early 80s some young girl shot a load of people outside of school she's mad of course
00:00:44.800 she was asked why'd you do that and she just said i hate mondays
00:00:48.440 like garfield all right it's monday it's just ticked past eight in the a.m british summertime

00:01:06.940 the best people on earth
00:01:08.020 basically
00:01:08.560 tuning in live
00:01:09.600 to the Bo Show
00:01:10.240 Breakfast with Bo
00:01:11.560 there it is
00:01:16.120 Breakfast with Bo
00:01:16.780 the Bo Show
00:01:18.140 Bo's Breakfast Club
00:01:20.480 hashtag the real BBC 0.74
00:01:22.020 Lotus Eaters Breakfast Club
00:01:24.220 hashtag the real LBC
00:01:25.720 I'm joined by my producer, Little Harry
00:01:28.320 As always, Harry this morning, good sir
00:01:29.660 Morning, I'm all good
00:01:31.200 Good, good
00:01:32.580 Shall we jump straight into it then
00:01:33.880 With no further ado
00:01:34.900 Let's stop faffing about
00:01:36.280 Jump straight into it, shall we
00:01:38.700 Alright, what's the legacy corporate mainstream media?
00:01:42.760 What's Fleet Street banging on about this morning?
00:01:45.060 What are they lying to you about by omission, if nothing else?
00:01:48.240 Alright, we've got
00:01:48.920 PM refuses to join blockade
00:01:52.760 Mr Trump has declared a blockade of the Straits of Hormuz, a US one
00:01:56.700 So Iran and the US both blockading it
00:02:00.980 It's due to come in force today
00:02:03.200 10am Eastern Time
00:02:06.200 Which is 3pm British Summertime
00:02:08.840 Starmer's not interested in joining that
00:02:12.360 Although there are reports that World Ovi is going to send
00:02:15.940 At least one or two mine-sweeping type ships
00:02:20.400 so largely the policy is still it's not our war we're not interested we're not going to help
00:02:25.860 but also might do a bit but okay PM refuses to join blockade and Hungary enters new era
00:02:33.620 Viktor Orban of Hungary has lost an election after 16 years of ruling Hungary so that's in
00:02:41.920 the papers quite a lot this morning so we'll talk all about that we'll talk all about that
00:02:45.380 all right let's kick off with the torey graph the daily telegraph uh there's some sort of
00:02:50.500 olivier awards for acting and things the royal albert hall and um that absolute despicable 0.98
00:03:00.740 obnoxious cretin rachel zegler won an award apparently there you go i think hollywood's 1.00
00:03:09.460 not really interested in casting very much anymore because she's so difficult to work with 1.00
00:03:13.540 which is a way of saying you're unbearable 0.98
00:03:17.540 absolutely unbearable and her politics are insane okay p.m refuses to join blockade of
00:03:30.140 Hormuz this is the thing a reoccurring theme we'll have today trump to deploy us navy to straight
00:03:36.100 but britain will only supply minesweepers so there you go the idea that it's just a blanket
00:03:40.700 it we're not getting involved in anything not quite the case i mean largely largely but look
00:03:48.040 as you see there britain will supply minesweepers whether we will whether we'll try and sail them
00:03:53.580 there and they'll break down before they get there like hms dragon into the dragon
00:03:58.160 tried to sail to cyprus and broke down before it got there it's only a mild breakdown it will get
00:04:07.040 there but anyway okay so that's a big thing is we'll talk about that more as we go through the
00:04:11.580 hour mr trump's blockade all right because well one of the things one of the key points just to
00:04:16.980 say is that iran are talking about aren't they help iran are talking about how they uh are going
00:04:25.280 to charge a toll anyone that goes through the straits of homoos will have to pay them the
00:04:30.420 iranians a load of money i was gonna say two million dollars that's the number that gets 0.99
00:04:36.540 bandied around you might see a lot reported two million dollars but but who knows what
00:04:40.360 they can charge whatever they like can't they trump's trump in the state department no no no
00:04:45.180 telling everyone for a start don't pay that if you pay that to them you're in trouble with us now
00:04:50.920 you've got our answer to us now so don't pay that that's a ridiculous thing we'll we'll blockade it
00:04:56.980 we'll we'll open it up by force now if needs be because that's we can't have that we can't have 0.94
00:05:02.360 Iran doing that okay a little bit of the geography quickly to say there's the Straits of Hormuz there
00:05:14.240 right that waterway between the promontory of land that sticks out from the south which even
00:05:20.040 though it's the UAE is the United Arab Emirates all the way along there the final promontory bit
00:05:24.820 of land I believe belongs to Oman not the Emirates anyway there's that side of the straits
00:05:30.700 the sort of western or southern side of the strait and that's where all around there that's
00:05:36.940 where iran have laid mines sea mines in other words if you can imagine if you do want to pass
00:05:44.440 through the strait you can't do it on that side of it it's too dangerous no one will ensure your
00:05:50.520 ship to do that so if you do want to pass through it you've got to basically skirt right along
00:05:54.780 the northern or eastern side of it are you right very very very close to iranian territory the
00:06:02.280 iranian shore so that if they want to stop you or blow you up it's simplicity itself for them to do
00:06:09.280 that because even though it's a quite narrow waterway it's not that narrow what is it 10 15
00:06:14.780 20 miles at its narrowest so i still no still not insignificant stretch of water in width
00:06:23.020 but now it's effectively been narrowed massively though by the mines all right the u.s are gonna
00:06:30.320 saying they're gonna clear that area of mines and they've got as you can imagine the u.s military
00:06:37.940 they've got everything they need and contingencies on everything they need they've got
00:06:42.180 they've got whole parts of the u.s navy that are just for that just for that just ready to rock
00:06:48.620 and roll with that i saw one report i think they're based in like carolina or something the
00:06:53.140 carolinas anyway guys specially trained ships specially outfitted to do that and um according
00:07:00.960 to some reports it will only take a few days i asked that question to the ether a few weeks ago
00:07:08.420 i wonder how long it takes to clear an important enough area of the straits of hormones of sea
00:07:15.760 minds whether that takes just a few hours or whether that's a process that could take months
00:07:20.980 or years you know like clearing the French and Belgian countryside of munitions from World War
00:07:28.180 One it's still not finished to this day still not done or whether like I say you do a couple of
00:07:34.780 back and forths on the ships and it's and it's clear well anyway a report I was watching over
00:07:40.220 the weekend very interesting guy ex-navy guy obviously seemed to know exactly what he's
00:07:44.060 talk about says it takes a few days it'll take a few days you know maybe maybe as much as a week
00:07:50.180 or something but in other words most important most insane thing about all of that is that
00:07:55.100 it won't take months and months and months or years so 0.78
00:07:58.260 we'll see how it all plays out if Iran's missile and drone capability you know it'll test that
00:08:12.440 wasn't exactly how depleted it is because Hegseth and the Pentagon say it's massively they keep
00:08:18.300 saying decimated and obviously they're using it in a much more sort of colloquial sense aren't
00:08:24.360 they because technically a decimation is only one in ten Hegseth says Iran's missiles and drones
00:08:32.740 have been decimated what so they've still got nine tenths of everything surely you mean more 0.87
00:08:36.360 than that I think you mean more than that don't you Pete I think he does I'm sure he does so when
00:08:41.420 they say decimated they just mean massively massively depleted don't they well if the united
00:08:47.960 states start sending big chunks of their navy in there in around there sit sitting ducks effectively
00:08:54.440 we shall see won't we we shall see how depleted how decimated iran's missiles missile and drone
00:09:04.720 arsenal is won't we we should see i would have thought the united states wouldn't that's why
00:09:09.560 they've held off on it for so long it's because they're sort of waiting for it to be truly sort
00:09:15.480 of almost completely wiped out why haven't they sent us navy ships through there up there before
00:09:21.560 now well almost certainly because they're not completely convinced completely happy with the
00:09:28.520 level of uh depletion but now you would think they they are otherwise they wouldn't be doing this
00:09:33.960 you would think but we'll see stuff might start going down today 10 a.m eastern 3 p.m bst
00:09:42.340 u.s ships getting hit by things maybe like this afternoon don't know
00:09:50.600 we'll see we'll see how it all plays out okay let's move on another big story perhaps the
00:09:58.280 second biggest story on Fleet Street is EU rules to be imposed on Britain under Labour plans.
00:10:10.940 Starmer and his government want to take us closer to Europe again, don't they? They always hated,
00:10:17.760 despised Brexit, didn't they? Hated it with a passion. Did everything through the kitchen sink
00:10:25.980 Trying to not make it happen
00:10:27.460 Even the Tories
00:10:28.180 Right
00:10:28.480 Even the Tories 1.00
00:10:29.080 Theresa May sort of 0.91
00:10:31.400 Couldn't get it done 0.99
00:10:32.300 And then Boris gets
00:10:33.580 Some crappy half deal
00:10:34.860 And then everyone
00:10:36.100 From then onwards
00:10:36.960 Still didn't really
00:10:37.940 Implement it properly
00:10:39.620 Never leant into it
00:10:40.900 Never really got behind it
00:10:42.400 And of course Labour
00:10:43.040 Of course the Labour government
00:10:44.000 Do everything they can
00:10:46.180 Politically
00:10:46.780 To undo it
00:10:47.900 Unravel it
00:10:48.540 In various ways
00:10:49.540 I'm sure
00:10:51.440 If he thought he had
00:10:52.140 The political capital
00:10:53.020 Or the backing of the country
00:10:54.360 He'd just entirely undo it
00:10:55.820 well he's made the calculation that doing that is not exactly possible but what he will do
00:11:01.660 is just in a sneaky underhanded dirty way under do undermine it in any way you can
00:11:08.120 so here we're talking it's mainly about um the single market the rules that govern the single
00:11:15.660 market in the eu which don't apply to us now that's the whole point of brexit the whole point
00:11:20.260 It was one of the main things, of course
00:11:22.180 Other than immigration
00:11:25.360 But we still got the Boris wave anyway, didn't we?
00:11:27.740 That'll be in the news
00:11:28.500 That's in the news
00:11:29.180 We'll talk about that in a moment
00:11:29.960 But this is more economic things
00:11:33.920 The single market
00:11:35.620 Starmer wants us, Britain
00:11:38.140 To abide by all those rules
00:11:40.980 Then what was the point of it all?
00:11:48.260 It's so bizarre to me
00:11:49.900 how you wouldn't want your country to be sovereign it's so bizarre people in parliament don't want
00:11:56.700 parliament to be sovereign make that make sense that you want foreign courts that you have no
00:12:04.260 say over who sits on those courts that you want those to set precedent for your laws
00:12:10.060 why would you want that well unless you hated your country and yourself unless you wanted that
00:12:17.340 what else explains it
00:12:20.640 what else explains it
00:12:22.500 so to be clear for Brexit people
00:12:25.220 this is still only plans
00:12:27.720 so to every part of that Parliament
00:12:31.200 I want those plans
00:12:32.420 it's only in the planning stage
00:12:35.500 so it's not like
00:12:37.360 it's just happened
00:12:38.620 we're now effectively back in the single market
00:12:41.260 it's not that
00:12:41.860 they're plans and they'll have to go through Parliament
00:12:44.720 so it's still
00:12:45.560 not happened yet and we know sir u-turn sir chris starlin the u-turn master extraordinaire
00:12:54.580 perhaps enough pressure can be put on him from his backbenchers from the opposition from the
00:13:01.620 country at large he just from the media that he just does a u-turn does that a lot doesn't he
00:13:06.720 enough pressure and he collapses like a house of cards but nonetheless they've shown their hand
00:13:13.380 they've shown their true colours. I see a true colour. He hates this country. And the
00:13:23.860 popular will that we aren't a part of the single market and don't belong to Europe.
00:13:29.900 We're not in the pocket of Brussels and Strasbourg. He's a scumbag. Absolute scumbag. Okay, here's 1.00
00:13:39.580 story about the nhs nhs patient survival rates among worst in developed world right okay
00:13:49.740 it's actually slightly worse in the united states actually
00:13:54.060 one of the worst in the whole developed world don't tell me it's been underfunded
00:14:00.460 don't tell me it's about funding it's not is it it's not about funding we fund that thing
00:14:06.300 massively to an absurd degree it's funded
00:14:12.380 like it's strapped for cash particularly i mean it could always do with more it's a type of thing
00:14:20.440 that could always do with more just an endless ravenous mouth gaping more for cash endlessly 0.94
00:14:29.000 okay it could have more money but don't tell me it's like crazily stupidly underfunded and that's 0.98
00:14:33.920 why patients die no no we spend so much money on it that it will it will and is beginning to 0.96
00:14:41.580 ruin us as a nation that's how much
00:14:44.700 what is it 200 250 billion a year something insane like that
00:14:52.280 something insane like that so why is it why is it that the actual survival rates because that's
00:15:00.220 the ultimate litmus test isn't it that's a proof of the pudding how well patients recover and
00:15:07.580 survive after getting treatment from the NHS well poorly poorly why is that is it because it's
00:15:15.440 massively mismanaged there you go it's probably one of the worst voice breaks I've had pardon me
00:15:25.920 My throat's still recovering from the live show
00:15:28.280 Oh we did the live show didn't we
00:15:30.000 I met a load of you guys there
00:15:31.900 Met a load of you guys there
00:15:35.240 The glorious band The Chosen Few
00:15:39.460 Great people
00:15:40.960 Great people
00:15:42.520 It was a great evening
00:15:44.760 It was a great evening I thoroughly enjoyed myself
00:15:47.060 Yeah my voice was a bit repped yesterday
00:15:52.280 It's only sort of just recovering now
00:15:53.840 might even sound might even hear it's a bit croaky a little bit croaky okay the NHS
00:16:00.860 it's because it's mismanaged isn't it badly mismanaged and because a lot of the actual 0.91
00:16:09.040 doctors and nurses are terribly trained people from the third world is that just a far-right
00:16:18.400 fancy is that just a bigoted small mind thing to say no you go to an NHS hospital and you'll find
00:16:24.100 a first generation Nigerian nurse who doesn't speak English perfectly or something 0.99
00:16:30.860 I think I'm making it up anyone that's used the NHS in the last 10 15 20 years knows exactly what 0.99
00:16:39.960 I'm talking about the doctor someone from the Middle East or something or Bangladesh or wherever 1.00
00:16:48.400 oh they botch 20% of all the operations they do oh oh 1.00
00:16:54.000 mad it's mad meanwhile we've got so many uh young doctors and nurses that they all go
00:17:03.820 a lot of them then can't get a job on the nhs they have to go to australia or something
00:17:10.200 or somewhere else in the world because the quotas of diversity in the nhs have to be filled up by
00:17:15.620 foreign people for some reason for some insane reason because dei because i don't know i don't 0.53
00:17:23.580 know what horrible isn't it horrible okay let's move on the eye paper should we read the bit of 0.94
00:17:31.340 the blurb i mean a bit of the blurb on the eye paper inflation warning for britain as trump
00:17:40.580 threatened shipping blockade in revenge for failed peace talks okay so all this over the weekend
00:17:46.220 haven't talked about it over the weekend a whole bunch of stuff a whole bunch of stuff happened
00:17:49.960 jd vance was dispatched to islamabad in pakistan for peace talks with the iranians they sent there
00:17:57.700 that dude that's the speaker of the iranian parliament he seems like the de facto leader
00:18:05.200 in some way well it seems like doesn't it who is the leader of iran they're still claiming they've
00:18:10.460 got an ayatollah the old ayatollah's son still hasn't been seen loads of reports is that he's
00:18:15.980 sort of half blown up isn't it missing a leg in a coma who knows what he hasn't been seen
00:18:19.600 and beyond that they've got their foreign minister who you know released that statement
00:18:27.620 about the ceasefire and they've got the speaker of their parliament those two guys seem to be
00:18:35.840 one way or another it's probably well i'm sure it's a very very low resolution view what i just
00:18:40.860 said there it's probably loads more to it but from what you can tell they seem to be
00:18:45.220 between them in some senses the de facto leaders when it comes to actual policy and
00:18:51.320 things they seem to be able to speak on behalf of the iranian regime at least so in islamabad
00:18:56.900 that guy and jd vance sat down for like 20 21 hours of talks didn't come to anything it could
00:19:05.260 they've both got lines in the sand red lines that the other could not would not accept so it came
00:19:11.320 to nothing what a surprise right Iran saying Israel has to stop fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon
00:19:20.860 Neti's not going to do that simply not going to do that I don't think
00:19:25.700 I might be wrong about this but I don't think Trump and Rubio can make him
00:19:28.960 They could threaten to stop giving billions of pounds
00:19:33.980 Billions of dollars of military aid to Israel every single year
00:19:37.080 But they're not going to do that are they 0.84
00:19:38.740 To please Iran 0.97
00:19:40.560 They're not going to do that are they 1.00
00:19:42.080 So okay
00:19:42.900 Iran wanted all the economic sanctions lifted off them
00:19:47.820 I don't think the State Department are prepared to do that 0.95
00:19:51.700 Are they
00:19:52.100 Iran wants just complete sovereign control of the Straits of Hormuz
00:19:58.020 Clearly Trump is not going to have that
00:20:01.800 America
00:20:04.180 And Israel 0.83
00:20:05.700 But America
00:20:06.520 Are insistent that Iran
00:20:09.180 Doesn't have any sort of program
00:20:11.940 Domestic program
00:20:12.860 That can enrich uranium
00:20:14.260 Okay 0.89
00:20:15.820 Iran still 0.71
00:20:18.400 Even now at this point 0.94
00:20:19.640 Insisting that they must
00:20:21.820 They must be able to domestically 0.99
00:20:25.440 All on their own
00:20:26.720 in rich uranium they say don't they they claim it's for peaceful purposes it's for fuel in
00:20:37.920 nuclear power plants and for you know like x-ray machines in hospitals and things
00:20:43.540 for years now 10 years maybe more
00:20:47.100 the rest of the world have said to iran look if that's really true that's honestly true
00:20:53.620 you don't need weapons grade enriched uranium like 90 you only need 20 30 40 percent enriched
00:21:01.620 uranium for fuel and for x-ray machines and such other things various other things all sorts of
00:21:06.560 actually all sorts of uh various uh industry if that's true then we'll sell it to you russia's
00:21:16.080 got a giant industry doing that russia will sell it to you and it cut cut cut prices give you a
00:21:23.300 deal if that's all you need enriched uranium for we'll sell it to you and you can stop enriching
00:21:29.060 it for yourself and everyone's happy we'll stop we'll stop being worried that you're trying to
00:21:33.540 make a nuclear bomb yeah deal if you're being honest about it deal yeah iran have always said
00:21:41.220 nope no deal we want to be able to enrich our own uranium it's not for web it's not for a weapon
00:21:48.340 then let us sell it let us sell you enriched uranium which isn't weapons grade no
00:21:56.120 so what other conclusions can you come to so even now at this point right you get the point
00:22:03.480 i'm laboring it a bit at this point still
00:22:07.240 iran are insisting on that so trump was sent not trump advance was sent on
00:22:17.920 an impossible task right
00:22:20.400 they were never really going to be able to make a deal
00:22:25.160 on most things
00:22:27.420 but now at least the Americans can say
00:22:31.040 look we tried
00:22:32.380 we sent the Vice President of the United States
00:22:36.820 the highest level talks the United States and Iran have ever had
00:22:40.540 since 1979
00:22:41.540 ever
00:22:42.960 we the Americans pulled out all the stops
00:22:46.140 we sent the second most important man in the country to personally talk with you and you
00:22:52.620 threw it back in our faces that's what the americans are saying obviously both sides
00:22:55.740 accusing the other of negotiating bad faith and but the politics of it right it does it does look
00:23:03.140 like the the americans the u.s the white house can make the argument that that we tried and it's
00:23:09.500 iran that's rejecting it's iran that is making this war go on all right so all that happened
00:23:18.400 jd vance is now back it collapsed and so now it's on trump saying he doesn't he doesn't from
00:23:24.680 this point on he doesn't care if iran want to talk anymore i think is it on the itv news yeah
00:23:30.320 there you go on the itv news us to blockade ports iranian ports as trump says he doesn't care if
00:23:38.580 iran returns to talks doesn't he says he doesn't care enough he says either way we win that's what
00:23:43.540 he said when people are like what about talks what about going forward what about diplomacy what now
00:23:47.260 what now and he's like i don't care about it i don't care about that now i don't care about any
00:23:51.140 of that now um we win whatever happens is his position at this point that's when he says the
00:23:59.700 blockade which u.s central command said would be quote enforced impartially against vessels of all
00:24:05.560 nations quote is due to begin today 3 p.m uk time okay there you go at least leaves options open now
00:24:18.820 i think for if the u.s did want to occupy that carg island it puts that back on the table now
00:24:27.520 i imagine because if and when the u.s navy open up the strait of hormuz well then well you know
00:24:34.520 after that's swept of mines and is controlled entirely physically by the u.s navy then the
00:24:42.040 whole persian gulf is open so to speak and onwards and onwards to karg island which is right obviously
00:24:50.180 right at the top much nearer much nearer kuwait than it is to the uae you know you've probably
00:24:56.200 all seen maps all right so will we see will we get an appearance from the 82nd airborne and the
00:25:03.900 US Marine Corps after all it's looking more likely to me so who knows all right let's quickly read
00:25:15.100 the front of the eye paper inflation warning for Britain as Trump threatens shipping blockade in
00:25:20.220 revenge for failed peace talks Starmer refuses to take part in US action in Strait of Hormuz
00:25:25.500 Britain faces a dire new economic warning after Donald Trump announced he would block the world's
00:25:31.420 most critical shipping lane in revenge for peace talks breaking down with iran after negotiations
00:25:36.880 in pakistan collapse the us president says the us navy will quote blockade any and all ships quote
00:25:42.460 trying to enter or leave because tehran quote is unwilling to give up its nuclear ambitions end
00:25:49.260 quote i do think it's odd to me that at this stage iran wouldn't give up their their dream
00:26:04.140 of enriching uranium for themselves do they not believe that the pentagon will go all out
00:26:14.100 Do they still think they've got a chance of
00:26:18.180 I don't know, it seems crazy to me
00:26:22.860 If I was in their position I would sort of
00:26:26.440 Conceive that at this point
00:26:28.300 It seems like the main sticking point 0.87
00:26:30.540 That Israel and the United States
00:26:32.380 Just cannot, will not
00:26:34.300 Give in on
00:26:36.160 That's their true true red line isn't it
00:26:39.960 That
00:26:40.220 Is it worth it? 1.00
00:26:44.100 How are the Iranian regime not asking themselves 1.00
00:26:48.080 Is it worth it 0.99
00:26:48.940 Because even if they are able to
00:26:51.980 Strategically quote unquote win this war
00:26:54.200 Against the United States
00:26:56.220 I.e. their country is in rubble
00:26:58.720 But the regime itself is still in place
00:27:00.680 Do they not think that somewhere down the line
00:27:04.840 5, 10, 20 years from now
00:27:07.660 That something like this will happen again 0.99
00:27:10.320 Even if it's just Israel on its own
00:27:12.100 to prevent them from enriching uranium.
00:27:16.160 The very, very powerful forces in the world
00:27:19.280 seem hell-bent on preventing them from doing that.
00:27:23.260 Do they not get it?
00:27:24.320 They obviously don't.
00:27:26.160 I mean...
00:27:28.100 Okay.
00:27:29.320 The iPad continues saying,
00:27:30.700 Chancellor to fly to Washington.
00:27:33.200 Is that our Chancellor? 1.00
00:27:35.140 Rachel Thieves.
00:27:35.960 Rachel from Accounts. 0.64
00:27:38.540 Chancellor to fly to Washington 0.81
00:27:40.260 to help reopen Channel
00:27:43.060 as Treasury says,
00:27:46.840 this is not our war.
00:27:50.820 The absurdity of that.
00:27:52.760 So Rachel Reeves, 1.00
00:27:55.060 a complete moron 1.00
00:27:56.260 who nobody respects. 1.00
00:27:57.880 A joke.
00:27:59.140 Shorthand for...
00:28:02.920 Can you imagine Rachel Reeves 0.80
00:28:08.520 going to the White House 0.99
00:28:09.360 and trying to talk about international affairs.
00:28:15.600 It's crazy.
00:28:16.680 It's like David Lammy is home as Foreign Secretary.
00:28:20.300 Completely absurd.
00:28:21.480 Someone who doesn't know really anything of any import.
00:28:28.260 And they're supposed to be conducting affairs on the global stage.
00:28:34.400 barely anyone in their own party respects them or buys into the concept that they're a statesman
00:28:43.880 a stateswoman with gravitas with a great intellect a towering intellect who knows what's going on
00:28:51.760 nobody really in their own party buys that about rachel reeves
00:28:55.280 let alone in the wider country let alone in the united states
00:28:59.780 Can you imagine most people
00:29:03.060 In the United States 0.95
00:29:04.060 Like who is this woman 1.00
00:29:04.920 Who is this woman sorry 1.00
00:29:06.320 She's the Chancellor 1.00
00:29:09.140 Of the Exchequer
00:29:10.020 From Great Britain
00:29:10.720 Oh my god
00:29:13.160 What an embarrassment
00:29:15.220 What an embarrassment
00:29:17.180 Rachel Reeves 1.00
00:29:19.920 With her stupid face 1.00
00:29:21.020 Going there 1.00
00:29:21.640 Trying to talk about
00:29:22.520 It's just
00:29:23.220 Mad
00:29:26.660 Mad to me 1.00
00:29:27.340 She's going to try and tell 0.74
00:29:31.180 What state department officials
00:29:33.760 And generals
00:29:34.960 You need to 0.76
00:29:37.040 You need to open the streets of Hormuz 1.00
00:29:38.860 They'll be like 1.00
00:29:41.180 Go away
00:29:41.760 Get lost 0.82
00:29:43.420 Who are you
00:29:43.960 Who are you
00:29:44.560 Oh you are actually the Chancellor of the United Kingdom
00:29:47.440 Still
00:29:47.780 Be gone
00:29:49.400 Be gone 0.99
00:29:50.380 Silly 1.00
00:29:52.660 Silly little woman 1.00
00:29:54.260 Stop laughing at someone important 1.00
00:29:57.780 You're obviously not
00:29:59.100 I said it before 1.00
00:30:01.840 I think she's like under qualified 1.00
00:30:03.400 To be the manager of a suburban 1.00
00:30:06.300 Tesco
00:30:07.900 Laughable
00:30:12.540 It's a bad joke though isn't it
00:30:14.300 If it weren't so tragic
00:30:16.240 It would be laughable
00:30:17.620 Okay finally it says
00:30:20.140 Economists issue
00:30:21.980 Pardon me
00:30:22.920 economists issue fresh warnings that inflation will rise as uncertainty over oil prices deepens
00:30:31.320 leaving uk households increasingly exposed to rising energy costs and interest rate shifts
00:30:37.800 all right should we have a look at the price of oil
00:30:41.320 it's just over a hundred bucks a barrel
00:30:45.560 i shouldn't joke really because the price at the pump is super high
00:30:53.380 okay west texas ever so slightly higher than brent $104 a barrel right now for west texas $102
00:31:04.660 for brent so again as i say all the time just above that psychological ultimately arbitrary
00:31:13.680 but that psychological barrier of a hundred dollars um nowhere near all-time highs sometimes
00:31:21.320 it'll go above a hundred dollars a barrel just random not randomly but it's not random but
00:31:26.000 sometimes it will pop above a hundred dollars a barrel here or there for no giant reason there's
00:31:31.300 not there's no like massive conflagration like we've got in the middle east and it might make
00:31:36.320 a tiny headline in the ft like page five oh noticed crude's gone over a hundred dollars a
00:31:42.260 barrel nobody makes a great big deal out of it but now of course they talk about it loads
00:31:48.120 remember it was about 78 dollars a barrel when this thing started so it's not like it was 40
00:31:52.820 dollars a barrel and now it's 104 no it was like 78 and now it's like 102 104 so it's just unfair
00:32:02.720 isn't it really unfair particularly for people that drive a diesel car how much it is just at
00:32:07.780 the pump now
00:32:08.400 okay
00:32:12.120 let's continue on the financial times
00:32:15.360 oh so Hungary
00:32:17.240 have we not talked about Hungary yet
00:32:18.920 we haven't even talked about Hungary
00:32:20.620 so Hungary had a general election
00:32:22.780 and Orban lost
00:32:24.140 Victor Orban
00:32:26.180 who's been in power for like
00:32:27.800 I keep saying that they
00:32:29.320 16 years
00:32:30.820 he lost
00:32:32.900 Orban's out
00:32:35.420 A new guy, Magyar
00:32:38.460 A guy called Peter Magyar
00:32:40.480 And his
00:32:41.360 Tizer party
00:32:44.520 Interesting whether they'll be
00:32:46.940 They're described as conservative
00:32:48.560 With a small c of course
00:32:50.060 Conservative and centre-right
00:32:52.800 But
00:32:54.920 Is he really
00:32:56.720 I think he's to the left of Orban
00:32:59.180 And although he's
00:33:01.160 Conservative and centre-right
00:33:02.560 He's actually really pro-EU
00:33:04.740 wants to have much much much closer ties with the eu that's not very conservative or center right is
00:33:10.460 it apparently he's saying they talk about how he's tougher on immigration if anything than orban
00:33:15.920 we'll see about that how can you be both those things how can you be really pro-eu and tougher
00:33:20.540 on immigration than victor orban that doesn't make sense that doesn't add up does it to me
00:33:24.100 But we'll see
00:33:25.480 We'll see 1.00
00:33:27.160 Immigration over land 0.99
00:33:32.060 Not obviously
00:33:34.440 Not including aeroplanes and ships 0.67
00:33:36.420 If you're just someone from Asia 1.00
00:33:39.400 Wherever it is
00:33:41.540 Central Asia
00:33:42.240 The subcontinent of India
00:33:43.980 Even in some ways from
00:33:46.860 The Middle East
00:33:48.480 And Arabia 1.00
00:33:50.360 If you come round from North Africa 0.98
00:33:52.060 Up through Levant
00:33:53.520 into europe just simply over land you quite often a lot of those get funneled just the way the
00:34:02.480 geography is mountains and things and it's the way it's always been thousands and thousands
00:34:08.160 and thousands of years you get funneled into hungary towards the hungarian plains
00:34:13.640 it's been the case for thousands of years many many many many migrations over the millennia
00:34:20.820 from asia into europe going back to the the yamna going back to various steppe peoples and
00:34:30.840 scythians all the mongol invasions very very often all get funneled towards hungary so having
00:34:41.380 hungary as a stool worked against that as some sort of caulk in the bottle to some degree 1.00
00:34:47.120 Of course there are other routes
00:34:49.120 It's not the only thing
00:34:49.980 Don't get me wrong
00:34:50.900 There are other routes
00:34:51.780 Much more northerly routes
00:34:53.160 There's more than one way
00:34:55.180 Into the Balkans and stuff
00:34:56.360 But still 0.63
00:34:57.500 If he opens their borders 0.97
00:35:01.340 If Hungary goes full
00:35:02.460 Open border madness 0.62
00:35:03.900 It'll be a nightmare 0.60
00:35:06.020 For all of Europe
00:35:07.880 It'll be terrible
00:35:08.540 It'll be ridiculous 0.71
00:35:09.700 So we'll see what he does 0.82
00:35:11.720 Some noises are saying
00:35:13.020 That he's harder on immigration
00:35:14.880 Than Orbán
00:35:15.760 Well we'll see
00:35:16.260 we'll see how it plays out but that is in the news today victor orban is out and victor orban
00:35:22.460 was sort of pro relatively anyway not entirely but pro-russian much more pro-putin than he was
00:35:28.480 pro-zelensky and i think this new guy is much more pro-ukraine pro-zelensky we'll see what he does
00:35:36.700 apparently his manifestos or his platform
00:35:40.960 all his policies are quite vague
00:35:44.680 you know how before Starmer got into power
00:35:48.480 they didn't really have a massively fleshed out manifesto
00:35:52.100 it would be deliberate
00:35:52.880 that would be very deliberate
00:35:54.480 so you don't have to keep
00:35:56.100 one way to not keep all the political promises you've made
00:35:59.800 is to not make them in the first place
00:36:02.400 gives yourself a much more free hand when you're in government it's difficult to win elections
00:36:08.400 that way but it can be done of course look at starmer and this guy apparently this guy's a
00:36:12.100 similar thing he hasn't got some sort of giant manifesto that he's going to try and stick to
00:36:16.520 you know you can just do what you please so in other words everyone has to just watch with
00:36:21.080 bated breath what's he going to do okay trump declares blockade on hormuz after iran talks
00:36:28.560 fail to yield a peace deal we've talked all about that haven't we navy to halt toll paying ships
00:36:33.180 the americans really don't want ships paying millions and millions and millions and millions
00:36:37.120 of dollars to iran every single day they're not going to have that tehran uh speaks of mistrust
00:36:43.080 yeah both sides deeply mistrust each other don't they fears for oil price it's just over a hundred
00:36:49.560 global economy dented that's one way to characterize it isn't it all right the times
00:36:57.140 the venerable times starmer seeks to adopt eu rules by using henry the eighth powers well that's
00:37:04.440 just one of the things i said that starmer wants to have much much closer ties with e the eu
00:37:10.360 particularly the single market on in terms of the single market and instead of putting it through
00:37:15.740 parliament because he may well fail to do that there are various mechanisms various ways you
00:37:21.540 can get things through Parliament sometimes with extremely old powers, extremely old rules
00:37:29.360 and laws, where you can sort of force things through sometimes. I mean, Henry VIII, obviously,
00:37:36.100 is the 16th century, isn't it? Henry VIII ruled as something of an autocrat, not a true,
00:37:43.440 true 100% autocrat, he had parliaments and things, but they were entirely under his thumb
00:37:48.360 I mean, at various points.
00:37:52.720 I use Thomas Cromwell sometimes to manipulate parliaments
00:37:56.680 to just do exactly what he wanted.
00:38:00.300 Harry.
00:38:02.140 Harry.
00:38:07.340 You think I haven't got long-form content about Henry VIII and Thomas Cromwell?
00:38:13.940 Of course I have.
00:38:16.380 Of course I have.
00:38:17.100 Check it out.
00:38:17.700 I was like, it was £5 a month
00:38:19.180 Bronze tier membership
00:38:20.660 LotusCities.com
00:38:22.860 Alright, but at the point, at the moment
00:38:25.220 As I said earlier, it's still just sort of
00:38:27.260 Their plans, they want to do
00:38:29.000 It's not sort of imminently going to become law
00:38:31.080 Or anything
00:38:31.600 Okay, there's Rosamund Pike
00:38:34.740 She got an award for something or other
00:38:37.900 She's an actress 1.00
00:38:39.640 So, don't care 0.97
00:38:41.080 Trump, US blockade
00:38:43.680 To end straight extortion
00:38:45.240 Navy, US Navy
00:38:47.180 quote locked and loaded quote after peace talks founder so i think i think it's looking more and
00:38:54.200 more likely there will be much more action whether it's naval engagements or boots on the ground to
00:39:02.100 a limited extent even if it's only in some of the islands the on the iranian side of the persian gulf
00:39:08.340 actual some actual boots on the ground whether they're special forces operators or
00:39:13.920 you know like the actual marine corps or the 82nd airborne whatever it is

00:44:27.360 story anything to declare mr. generic he vows to cut flight tax after accepting
00:44:33.820 40,000 pound donation from airline owner so what is it the mirror the mirror
00:44:39.120 having a proper generic there reforms generic who used to be tory and let thousands of thousands 0.75
00:44:46.340 of afghans into our country without really telling anyone sort of secretly who went on to commit
00:44:52.380 loads of course have gone on to commit loads of sex crime and murders his name is wayne broadhurst 1.00

00:45:07.040 Treasury spokesperson, that's his title
00:45:10.620 Form UK's treasury spokesperson
00:45:13.360 Talking about cutting
00:45:14.640 He wants to make flights cheaper for ordinary people

00:45:35.960 Alright
00:45:36.640 the daily express so it's a good paper as nurse suspended for misgendering
00:45:45.340 paedophile gets payout campaigners say the NHS needs to cure itself of its 0.95
00:45:50.140 gender madness another picture of Rosamund Pike there okay so this nurse 0.54
00:45:58.600 this is a quick story a nurse called a man he
00:46:09.160 right a paedophile i think i think convicted paedophile 0.64
00:46:13.000 a transgender paedophile so a man claiming to be a woman 0.99
00:46:17.160 is also a sex criminal the nurse called him 0.99
00:46:20.760 he and the nurse got in trouble for that and uh 0.65
00:46:25.240 fired briefly or you know put on leave and after there was some sort of tribunal to find out exactly
00:46:31.480 everything that happened she's been reinstated they decided she hasn't done anything wrong
00:46:34.960 after all so why was she put on leave in the first place they decided she's not on leave anymore she's
00:46:41.780 got her job back and that they've got to pay her loads of money an undisclosed amount of money
00:46:46.300 so in other words the nhs the the gender weirdos like the progressives somewhere in the 1.00
00:46:55.100 management of that particular hospital did entirely the wrong thing the mad thing
00:46:59.980 and so anyway she's vindicated surely surely at this point she's completely vindicated 1.00
00:47:06.200 and the express say the NHS need to cure itself of its gender madness yeah the whole of society
00:47:12.700 needs to cure itself of any sort of gender madness I think we're largely there aren't we 0.78
00:47:16.840 I think we're largely over that hump I like to think 0.97
00:47:19.800 The idea that just a transvestite 0.99
00:47:24.260 Let's not call them transgender 0.97
00:47:25.740 Transgender is someone that's actually got an intersex condition 0.98
00:47:29.400 Or something, isn't it? 1.00
00:47:30.700 No, just a man that just puts on some women's clothing 1.00
00:47:32.940 That's a transvestite, isn't it? 0.99
00:47:34.980 It's not transgender, that's a transvestite 0.99
00:47:37.020 Like Eddie Izzard 0.99
00:47:38.000 He's not transgender, is he? 1.00
00:47:39.740 He's a transvestite 1.00
00:47:40.480 A man who enjoys wearing women's clothes 1.00
00:47:44.180 That's all that is 0.99
00:47:45.080 So I'm not going to call you by your female name

00:48:09.580 Yeah this is the last one for the day
00:48:10.440 The Daily Star
00:48:11.160 What are they talking about?
00:48:12.540 Oh Eamon Holmes is stroke
00:48:14.000 Fine
00:48:14.880 Alright
00:48:15.480 That's the front pages
00:48:18.460 should we have a look at our poll
00:48:20.720 we did a poll didn't we today
00:48:22.120 alright let's have a look at our poll
00:48:25.020 we asked you guys
00:48:26.060 just shy of 1300
00:48:28.900 votes there
00:48:29.820 not a bad cross section
00:48:31.560 we asked you
00:48:32.860 will the US blockade bring Iran to its knees
00:48:37.300 20% of you say yes
00:48:40.780 59% of you say no
00:48:43.200 so clear win for the no vote
00:48:44.700 and what 21%
00:48:47.000 of you say maybe
00:48:47.860 Decent chunk of maybe that is, isn't it?
00:48:52.080 Decent chunk of maybe
00:48:52.580 Still, clear win for the no vote
00:48:54.320 Yeah, I mean, who knows
00:48:57.620 I would probably have
00:49:00.720 I would have clicked no or maybe
00:49:02.440 Myself, on that one
00:49:03.680 It might do
00:49:07.580 It may well do
00:49:08.520 I don't think the people that have clicked
00:49:10.980 Yes, just clicked down to 19%
00:49:13.360 I don't think you're completely insane
00:49:15.240 I'm not going to ask you to get out
00:49:16.880 or anything you may well be right this may be one of the last things that truly topples that
00:49:26.580 iranian regime after the u.s navy enters the persian gulf entirely takes out karg island and
00:49:31.900 whatever it might be i don't i don't think it's i wouldn't put money on it but it might be
00:49:37.080 it just might be the thing that finally sort of helps to crumble the regime entirely
00:49:42.900 we shall see, alright, that was the vote
00:49:47.320 should we have a quick look at the websites
00:49:48.780 it's actually already 10-2, so should we have a quick
00:49:50.980 quick, quick look at the websites
00:49:52.820 what have we got, there was something
00:49:54.920 on the mail

00:50:00.600 back-to-back
00:50:02.280 any few people in history have ever done that
00:50:04.480 back-to-back
00:50:07.300 alright, only people who care
00:50:11.320 about that. This story, Britain's population would skyrocket by 4.4 million under the Green 0.60
00:50:20.740 Party. It may well have been more than that. Zach Polanski, real name Dave Paulden, is
00:50:26.940 an insane person, an insane subversive, who means to speedrun us off a cliff if he was 0.98
00:50:34.540 in power absolutely insane person in my opinion his policies are mental mental anyone that wants 0.96
00:50:44.940 the best for this country wouldn't dream of voting green wouldn't dream of it it's not about
00:50:49.880 environmentalism anymore anyone out there watching this that thinks the green party is about 0.97
00:50:53.280 environmentalism wake up wake up come on it's about communism and islamism some weird disgusting 0.99
00:51:02.520 nexus of islamism and communism it's not about solar panels it's not about putting your rubbish 0.98
00:51:09.660 in the right bin all right wake up god's sake madness all right in the express something about 0.58
00:51:20.060 fury is every uk household faces 20 000 pounds a boris wave disaster bill
00:51:28.860 that all the people that Boris let in
00:51:33.720 during the Boris wave, the millions of people
00:51:35.880 while he put you under house arrest 0.96
00:51:37.640 and said you can't go visit granny
00:51:39.300 you can only go to the park for a little bit of exercise
00:51:42.680 one hour a day like you're an actual prisoner
00:51:45.280 and even then you've got to wear a mask 0.98
00:51:46.760 Boris Johnson, arch traitor
00:51:50.800 first person in the dock in Bowes Britain
00:51:53.000 to answer for his treason
00:51:55.100 We're told
00:51:58.400 That over the next few decades
00:52:02.100 While all the people he let in 0.74
00:52:03.300 Live out their lives in Britain 0.98
00:52:05.100 Will cost the state 0.96
00:52:07.360 Will cost taxpayers
00:52:08.340 Was it way over £600 billion
00:52:11.780 In other words
00:52:15.060 A cost of something like £20,000 each
00:52:18.500 The crime that Boris Johnson committed
00:52:23.920 during covid and the boris wave and in ukraine etc this person boris johnson
00:52:31.220 anyone out there you do see one or two on twitter still defending him
00:52:36.780 wanting him back i honestly he would be first arrested and put on trial for crimes against 0.84
00:52:45.000 the people crimes against the nation a despicable a monster 0.98
00:52:50.900 I think Boris Johnson is something of a monster 0.99
00:52:55.020 Makes me sick 0.99
00:52:59.160 He'll probably get away with it for his whole life
00:53:02.080 Live out his life at liberty for the rest of his life
00:53:04.360 Almost certainly I would have thought
00:53:06.180 Not if I would have anything to say with it
00:53:09.580 Not if I was Lord Protector
00:53:10.860 Alright, The Sun
00:53:12.980 Here's another story, it's interesting
00:53:14.480 Chagos U-Turn
00:53:16.760 Britain was going to give away the Chagos Islands
00:53:20.380 and one way or another the americans put the kibosh on it
00:53:25.200 we had to get sort of formal legal acceptance from the state department from the u.s because
00:53:33.160 they've got a giant base on that island diego garcia the basis diego garcia the americans had
00:53:41.360 to sign off on it and say okay all right we formally are going to let you the united kingdom
00:53:46.000 give sovereignty of the chagos archipelago islands to mauritius and america refused to do that
00:53:52.080 and there's not enough time left in this parliament to sort all that all of that out
00:53:57.080 and it looks like starman's government in the next parliament later in the year this year
00:54:02.180 after sort of their summer break spring break uh doesn't look like they're going to bring it up
00:54:08.100 again so it might just be all over we're just not going to give away the chagos islands mauritius
00:54:15.560 might then take us to court because we signed something with them like 18 months ago or two
00:54:19.440 years ago they might take us to court and get all annoyed about it but looks like it may not happen
00:54:24.320 after all after everything all right it's already 5-2 and i'd like to see a little bit of this day
00:54:31.400 in history and of course the rumble rants and super chat so let's just move straight on to
00:54:34.680 on this day in history down through the centuries what happened on this day in history of note
00:54:38.360 i like ending the show with that you guys seem to like it all right what have we got in on this day
00:54:44.220 the 13th of april in the year 1250 the seventh crusade is declared is defeated in egypt and king
00:54:52.240 louis the ninth of france is captured interesting all the crusades after the third crusade we could
00:55:00.300 argue were failures or the fourth crusade depending on how you measure certainly the seventh and
00:55:06.720 eighth crusade were absolute failures king louis the ninth of france wanted to go and retake
00:55:11.140 jerusalem or shore up the crusader kingdoms in the levant failed got himself defeated and captured
00:55:20.720 by the muslims in egypt that had been a strategy for a long time invade egypt first take out all 0.96
00:55:27.060 of egypt and then move north so you haven't got any sort of muslim armies behind you but he got 0.91
00:55:32.320 defeated in egypt straight away well not straight away but very quickly got himself ransomed got
00:55:38.640 himself out of captivity quite quickly stayed in the homeland for a while a few more years
00:55:44.020 eventually went back to france eventually launched and the eighth crusade which was also
00:55:50.600 an abject failure well also a bit of a failure okay on this day in 1598 the edict of nonce
00:55:58.260 grants the political rights to french huguenots so this is what henry the fourth of france not
00:56:05.740 henry not henry bolingbroke not henry the fourth of england henry the fourth of france
00:56:09.100 the wars of religion in europe the wars of religion in france in the 16th century
00:56:14.140 protestants fighting catholics and he was raised a catholic but was sympathetic to
00:56:22.560 protestants and tried to end or did sort of end the wars of religion kind of well actually not
00:56:29.440 really but anyway he was like a conciliator type so he makes catholicism the full religion of
00:56:37.780 france sort of undisputedly but also gives well as you say it gives political rights to the huguenots
00:56:44.240 um trying to end the wars of religion and does at least for a bit to a limited extent
00:56:50.880 eventually assassinated by catholics him in the fourth of france very very important very very
00:56:56.820 interesting figure
00:57:01.500 so cool about it on epochs at least a bit at least a bit okay on this day in
00:57:10.060 1860 the first Pony Express rider reaches Sacramento in California talked
00:57:14.160 all about this before didn't I at one time when a few weeks back this website
00:57:18.840 talked about how the Pony Express is first started well one of their riders
00:57:23.460 A few weeks later
00:57:24.500 Gets out all the way out to California
00:57:26.020 Heading out California way
00:57:27.600 For some reason
00:57:30.540 The people that compile this stuff
00:57:31.940 On this particular website
00:57:33.060 On this day in history
00:57:34.360 They're interested in the Pony Express
00:57:37.040 Don't blame them
00:57:38.620 It's an interesting thing
00:57:39.720 Okay
00:57:40.520 On this day in 1868
00:57:42.320 The Abyssinian War ends
00:57:43.860 As British and Indian troops
00:57:45.160 Capture Magdala

00:57:47.900 Of Magdala 0.78
00:57:50.200 And Ethiopian Emperor
00:57:51.860 tuodoros the second commits suicide you might think oh oh evil british colonialists
00:58:00.080 land grabbing in ethiopia just because they wanted to just because some gentleman at whites
00:58:06.140 twiddling their moustache in pure evil wanted to invade ethiopia no no that emperor of ethiopia
00:58:13.380 kidnapped loads of our missionaries and government officials to extort us into helping him
00:58:19.100 fight loads of wars
00:58:20.500 that he was embroiled in
00:58:21.560 and we had to go there
00:58:25.560 we said that we didn't have to
00:58:26.440 but the decision was made
00:58:28.080 we'd go there and rescue them
00:58:29.320 it was basically a giant rescue mission
00:58:31.660 really is what it was
00:58:32.740 of course we defeat him
00:58:34.180 because they're no good at war
00:58:36.740 at that point
00:58:37.580 and we were great at war
00:58:39.280 at that point
00:58:39.960 so yeah
00:58:41.160 led by Napier
00:58:43.120 was it Charles Napier or
00:58:46.240 I'm not sure if it was actually Charles Napier
00:58:50.920 Anyway
00:58:52.280 The whole epoch's all about the life and career of Charles Napier
00:58:57.200 If you're interested in that
00:58:59.060 Oh yeah
00:59:00.000 It's all there
00:59:01.380 Okay
00:59:02.480 On this day in 1970
00:59:03.980 Apollo 13 announces
00:59:05.440 Okay Houston we have a problem here
00:59:07.660 After one of their oxygen tanks explodes
00:59:10.780 Fascinating stuff if you believe any of it's real
00:59:14.000 i watched a video not that long ago funnily enough about that um probably about two months
00:59:20.300 ago i found a really long form video on youtube where someone was going through all nearly all
00:59:26.840 the audio communications between apply 13 and houston a lot of them probably not all of them
00:59:33.440 a lot of them are recorded and saved and you can listen to them and they went through them
00:59:38.660 with a fine tooth comb
00:59:41.000 from launch all the way back to
00:59:44.300 just telling the whole story of Apollo 13
00:59:46.380 the real real story
00:59:47.300 in extremely long form detail
00:59:49.940 fascinated by that
00:59:51.600 had that in the background
00:59:53.960 while I was doing chores
00:59:54.880 great stuff, great listen
00:59:56.920 ok, that's the main part of the show
01:00:00.560 it's just past 9am
01:00:02.560 shall we do the
01:00:04.580 Rumble Rants and Super Chats 0.96

01:00:36.180 me there, bro. Deep in the Dark Ages. Scandinavian history, deep in the Dark Ages. That's too
01:00:41.600 obscure for me, I'm afraid. I can't make comment on that. I'll try and look it up, though.
01:00:48.260 Sounds interesting. Maybe you probably should know about it. Okay, on this day, 1204, the
01:00:54.060 Fourth Crusade took Constantinople. More than once is one of the few topics I've returned
01:01:01.720 to on epochs the fourth crusade twice long-form content various aspects of things all about the
01:01:08.040 fourth crusade very very very pivotal thing when constantinople was first really destroyed by
01:01:14.440 christian knights largely the final final fall of constantinople isn't it 1453 by um mehmed the
01:01:25.740 conqueror mehmed ii the ottoman but it was massively massively weakened first burnt down
01:01:31.080 The whole city, well not the whole city
01:01:32.760 Most of the city completely destroyed and burnt down
01:01:35.360 In 1204
01:01:36.580 In the 4th Crusade
01:01:38.260 Absolutely pivotal thing in history 1.00
01:01:41.120 Covered on epochs of the Lotus Eaters 0.99
01:01:43.580 More than once
01:01:45.480 Cool, alright
01:01:46.520 Oh you also say, on this day in 1640
01:01:49.700 The Short Parliament began
01:01:51.120 That's the one where Charles I, Charles Stuart
01:01:53.780 Charles Stuart
01:01:54.700 Opened a parliament to get more money
01:01:57.320 Almost immediately realised
01:02:00.020 that they weren't going to give him loads more money unless he granted them loads and loads and
01:02:02.940 loads of power so he just shut it down shut it down we'll try and make do without then
01:02:08.520 you know john pym various people yeah he'd open the pandora's box though
01:02:17.500 okay the short parliament fascinating stuff i'll get into all of that in as much detail as i can
01:02:24.720 must have really when i get up to the civil war period in epochs trust me bro going to do it in
01:02:32.400 stupid detail love it i love it clarendon i'm going to be reading largely from clarendon okay
01:02:39.160 um on this day in 1829 george the fourth that's the prince regent prinny 0.98
01:02:45.800 Signed Catholic Emancipation
01:02:50.160 Right 0.77
01:02:51.680 I.e. the Catholics 0.99
01:02:53.380 In Ireland as well
01:02:57.060 Well there's so much to it
01:03:00.560 I can't even begin to go into it
01:03:01.820 It's not a history show
01:03:02.460 Okay
01:03:02.920 For Tim Barber
01:03:03.880 Morning Bo
01:03:05.120 Hopefully a good one ahead
01:03:06.420 Is there much chance of Lotus Eaters
01:03:09.160 Live
01:03:10.020 Going on tour
01:03:11.240 I doubt it
01:03:12.880 I'd probably
01:03:13.340 Well tour in Britain
01:03:14.680 Somewhere else in Britain
01:03:15.680 maybe London but not abroad oh I met I met you didn't I there so it's nice to shake your hand
01:03:22.240 shame about Orban looks like they're about to have a little shock for a bit successful Artemis 0.62
01:03:28.820 mind oh yeah Artemis landed safely in the ocean exactly where it was supposed to the heat shields
01:03:36.140 held and they're back they're all safe back alive if you believe they went to the moon
01:03:41.100 they're all back safe
01:03:42.420 well they're certainly
01:03:42.880 all back safe
01:03:43.380 that's a matter of fact
01:03:44.520 whether they went
01:03:46.100 anywhere or somewhere
01:03:46.680 or something else
01:03:47.580 of course I believe
01:03:48.420 they do
01:03:48.760 but a fair amount
01:03:49.920 of you don't
01:03:50.480 okay
01:03:51.440 yeah it was nice
01:03:52.380 to meet you
01:03:53.200 for T and Barber
01:03:54.860 yeah going on tour
01:03:56.360 I mean
01:03:56.680 there will be more
01:03:59.480 I'm pretty sure
01:04:00.520 hopefully there will be more
01:04:01.340 it's the idea
01:04:01.800 to do more
01:04:02.300 Lotus Eaters live events
01:04:03.360 like one a year
01:04:04.560 maybe
01:04:04.880 maybe slightly more
01:04:06.240 than one a year
01:04:06.680 I don't know
01:04:07.140 I've got nothing
01:04:08.260 to do with that
01:04:08.580 I just turn up
01:04:09.180 on the night
01:04:09.620 and talk
01:04:10.240 i really have nothing to do with the organization but it is difficult and it does cost a lot the
01:04:15.520 overheads are way more big than people think um okay but hopefully there will be more
01:04:22.720 maybe in london i mean london's the obvious thing if you if you want you need numbers you need
01:04:28.300 numbers otherwise you don't make any money and then you can't do it again
01:04:32.160 maybe london maybe more in the exact that exact same theater in swindon
01:04:36.820 I don't want to speak for Carl
01:04:38.900 But I think he likes the idea
01:04:40.680 Of that
01:04:41.880 Because the logistics of it
01:04:45.160 Are already difficult
01:04:46.080 So to make that
01:04:48.580 As least difficult as possible
01:04:50.820 I'm getting a thumbs up
01:04:54.080 I'm getting a thumbs up about what I'm saying
01:04:55.840 In real time
01:04:56.780 From people that know
01:04:58.000 From people what they're talking about
01:04:59.220 Okay so there you go
01:05:01.920 If you want to come to a live event
01:05:06.340 Start getting in the mindset
01:05:08.620 That you might have to travel to Wiltshire
01:05:10.980 And Swindon
01:05:12.400 Okay
01:05:15.100 Apologies for my slightly ripped throat
01:05:18.460 And vocal cords this morning
01:05:20.300 Alright
01:05:22.820 That's a random name says
01:05:24.520 I met you as well didn't I
01:05:25.540 That's a random name says
01:05:28.180 In the Swindon station
01:05:31.240 Waiting for a train to Paddington
01:05:32.840 Oh like you're saying that right now
01:05:34.540 that you're in the swindon station waiting for a train to paddington holy f the train tickets are
01:05:39.840 expensive yeah i know tell me about it you could literally get an airplane to turkey and back for
01:05:45.040 less well nearly it's in that ballpark i had to sell an effing kidney to get on crying face yeah
01:05:54.120 yeah he's not joking it's mad it's sort of mad how much it is if it's if it's not super off peak
01:06:01.080 if it's just, you know, like rush hour times. 1.00
01:06:04.280 Yeah, it's stupid, stupid money. 1.00
01:06:05.980 It doesn't make sense. 1.00
01:06:07.240 How could it possibly cost that much to go from Swindon to London?
01:06:11.020 If anyone doesn't know, not a fantastic distance.
01:06:15.220 50, 55 minutes, an hour on the train.
01:06:18.020 Not a super fast bullet train.
01:06:19.440 It's not that far in the scheme of things.
01:06:21.900 Fallen Firebird says,
01:06:23.040 Louis VII is the ultimate aura loss.
01:06:27.660 He gets defeated, captured, and then subsequently,
01:06:29.700 Eleanor of Aquitaine leaves him for Chad
01:06:31.920 Richard
01:06:33.840 the Lionheart
01:06:34.620 who frame-mogs him
01:06:37.560 permanently
01:06:38.300 truly embarrassing
01:06:40.660 so she left him for Richard the Lionheart's
01:06:43.980 father, Henry II
01:06:45.220 Richard the Lionheart is her son
01:06:47.280 okay
01:06:49.560 but
01:06:50.020 do you honestly think
01:06:53.880 I haven't got loads of long-form content
01:06:55.880 about the
01:06:57.800 second crusade a whole one all about Eleanor of Aquitaine on her own one all about Henry the
01:07:03.700 second more than one all about Richard the Lionheart and his brother John one all about
01:07:08.400 William Marshall one all about Thomas Beckett yeah it's all there it's all there hours and
01:07:18.640 hours and hours and hours talking about that generation of Louis VII and Eleanor of Aquitaine
01:07:26.760 and Henry II and Richard the Lionheart.
01:07:30.240 It's all there.
01:07:31.740 All right, Fallen Firebird again says,
01:07:33.040 oh, you've corrected yourself.
01:07:34.980 Your next rumble rant says,
01:07:36.680 I meant Henry II, Beau.
01:07:38.660 Cool, cool, cool, cool.
01:07:41.660 I have historically embarrassed myself there
01:07:44.200 and suffered oral loss.
01:07:45.140 Don't worry about it, bro.
01:07:46.020 Don't worry about it.
01:07:47.420 Please forgive my sheer foolishness.
01:07:49.140 You're forgiven.
01:07:52.560 You're forgiven.
01:07:54.160 Okay.
01:07:54.600 that's the last one right, let's do the superchats, Harry you have to bring up the YouTube superchats for me if you would
01:08:01.340 he's just doing that now, engage, alright, here they are
01:08:05.620 there's quite a few, I'll have to whip through them a bit if you don't mind, I can't help myself making comment
01:08:11.420 can I, sort of can't help myself if it's interesting, I'll need to whip through them a little bit here
01:08:16.880 alright, let's start at the top
01:08:18.000 Pixel Rick, Pixel Rick says
01:08:23.280 Arsenal bottle
01:08:25.540 Tottenham going down
01:08:27.900 A hammer's dream
01:08:29.240 Okay yeah
01:08:31.780 There's football
01:08:32.180 Football
01:08:32.700 Yeah
01:08:33.700 I can't remember
01:08:34.440 I don't even remember
01:08:35.320 Exactly what happened
01:08:35.900 Did
01:08:36.100 Is it that
01:08:38.800 Chelsea are closing in
01:08:40.260 On Arsenal
01:08:40.740 For the title
01:08:41.700 Imagine if Tottenham went down
01:08:43.580 Oh that'd be so good
01:08:44.760 I wouldn't be able
01:08:47.280 To stop myself
01:08:47.780 Talking about it
01:08:48.460 A little bit
01:08:49.020 And gloating about it
01:08:50.860 If Tottenham went down
01:08:51.720 I know most people
01:08:52.760 Watch this
01:08:53.220 And not into football
01:08:53.960 But I'd at least mention it
01:08:56.340 I'd at least mention it
01:08:58.600 And I think gloating is a bad
01:09:00.060 Look I try not to do it
01:09:01.220 Hardly ever
01:09:01.640 Sometimes you can't help yourself
01:09:02.480 Can you
01:09:02.780 But I would just lean into it
01:09:04.800 For a couple of minutes
01:09:05.540 If that happened
01:09:06.240 Unapologetically
01:09:08.600 Anyone who's not a Tottenham supporter
01:09:12.600 Hates Tottenham
01:09:13.360 Yeah
01:09:14.820 Okay
01:09:15.500 Erwin Romulus
01:09:18.380 I met you
01:09:18.960 I met you at the live event
01:09:20.220 For sure
01:09:20.700 Because that's a very memorable name
01:09:22.480 so erwin romano it's nice to meet you sir thank you for the 10 quid there you say morning bo
01:09:28.380 what a belter of a night saturday was i walked in fairly optimistic about the future of this
01:09:33.200 country and i walked out confident that we can win yeah aim higher vote low millions must go
01:09:38.880 from zoomers to boomers it's the best option it's the best option so yeah 0.98
01:09:47.200 their momentum is with us 1.00
01:09:50.620 I do believe that
01:09:52.960 a large
01:09:54.740 a large chunk of the electorate
01:09:56.500 have felt themselves completely
01:09:58.720 disenchanted, disenfranchised
01:10:00.820 and now there's some sort of option
01:10:04.740 genuine option for them with Restore
01:10:06.880 not Reform, not like Matt Goodwin
01:10:09.080 not like some sort of
01:10:11.020 Nadim Zahari
01:10:12.260 Suella Breverman
01:10:14.580 weird Tories 2.0 1.00
01:10:16.720 Tons and tons of foreign people 1.00
01:10:19.380 Fifth columnists in their ranks
01:10:21.320 Don't want Zia Yusuf as a Home Secretary
01:10:25.460 I may as well stay at home
01:10:27.820 Well, now you've got Restore
01:10:30.200 Okay, good
01:10:32.920 Brandon Lucas says
01:10:35.420 Interestingly, this is the case
01:10:37.920 This is the case where Hegsif is uncharacteristically correct on the terms
01:10:43.220 Iran's strategic arsenal is reportedly reduced by 90%
01:10:47.880 You're saying that Pete Heggseth meant the inverse of decimation
01:10:53.620 Not that he's taken out 10%
01:10:56.740 But that there's only 10% left
01:10:58.800 Okay, that would make much more sense
01:11:00.940 That's not what it means
01:11:02.120 For something to be decimated is that you've taken out 10% of it
01:11:07.960 That's what that means
01:11:08.860 But if he meant the opposite of that
01:11:12.240 The inverse of that then
01:11:13.200 Okay that would make sense
01:11:14.300 Fair enough
01:11:17.120 Erwin Romulus again says
01:11:18.880 It was an honour and a privilege to meet you
01:11:21.660 To meet your fine self
01:11:23.160 And all the other patriots in attendance
01:11:25.140 By God's will we'll have our home again
01:11:28.200 Yes lovely sentiment
01:11:29.360 Absolutely lovely sentiment
01:11:30.620 It was very nice to meet you
01:11:32.540 Great sentiment yes
01:11:34.500 Optimism 1.00
01:11:36.560 None of this Duma nonsense 1.00
01:11:38.940 I can't stand 1.00
01:11:41.720 Doomers
01:11:42.320 Doomerism 0.94
01:11:43.800 Is there anything lamer than being a Doomer
01:11:49.660 Absolutely despicable
01:11:54.080 Not just be a Doomer in and of yourself
01:11:55.820 In your own heart and mind
01:11:57.320 But you spread it out
01:11:58.700 To everyone you know
01:12:00.500 Spread it all over the internet, all over Twitter
01:12:03.540 Revolting
01:12:04.640 Revolting
01:12:06.520 Alright, Brendan Lucas again
01:12:08.760 says, since 1997, private healthcare expenditure has doubled from 24% of health to 46%, with
01:12:20.620 critical intervention moving from 600,000 in 2016 to 1 million now. Right, yeah. The
01:12:30.700 NHS isn't particularly underfunded. That's one thing they would always say, or will always
01:12:34.900 say oh we just need to throw more money at it this doesn't seem to be the case so not necessarily
01:12:41.500 one of those things where you just throw more money at it and now it all works perfectly
01:12:45.360 doesn't seem to be the case does it okay brenda loose again for another 20 bucks cheers appreciate
01:12:52.660 that very generous say um ironically three of the ugly ducklings of the usn considered failures
01:13:03.200 namely independence liberty and Zumwalt classes have the best draft oh you're talking about
01:13:13.080 ships you're talking about ships the US Navy okay different classes of ships okay
01:13:18.740 they have the best draft and best speed to actually escort ships through the straits
01:13:26.920 and not to be hit by mines cool very interesting you seem to know your stuff
01:13:32.080 seems absolutely you know your stuff so i'll just accept everything you've said there
01:13:36.400 yeah we'll see how it goes down i think there will be action today by the end of today british
01:13:44.260 time by lunch time american time eastern time we may well be seeing footage and images of
01:13:51.900 us navy ships getting hit by something we might not we may not but if such images were to come
01:14:02.000 out it might be now around now today we'll see we'll see you can only imagine that the
01:14:10.380 the americans are going to do everything in their power of course to prevent any of their ships from
01:14:16.200 getting hit have the skies full of countermeasures okay brendan lucas says uh again says uh after
01:14:29.500 being effectively banned by orban eu ngos that no one can ever vote for will return to hungary
01:14:36.420 and never leave and quietly influence hungarian civil society what a great day for democracy yeah
01:14:42.040 the last sentence there is obviously sarcastic what a great day for democracy yeah
01:14:46.300 yeah once the eu gets the eu gets its tentacles into you it's difficult to remove them good point
01:14:52.720 good point the cayman live says proper gutted i couldn't make it saturday we'll have we'll have
01:14:59.160 other ones will you guys do another live maybe even up north for fans like me who knows it's
01:15:05.720 not entirely it's not entirely up to me it would be probably quite difficult to do one other than
01:15:09.860 either swindon or london or somewhere else in the south probably quite difficult okay but maybe who
01:15:17.820 knows who knows if they become sort of a roaring success and we can be guaranteed anyway it's not
01:15:23.020 to me i don't make any of those sorts of decisions okay kirch's top guy kirch's turk kirch's top guy

01:15:44.380 next one when it happens cool yeah hopefully hopefully too nice to meet you brendan lucas
01:15:50.620 He says, the argument for the failure of democracy in Hungary is that Orban controlled the media and the courts.
01:15:56.440 But prior to this day, Hungarians could access more of the internet than UK residents could.
01:16:04.980 Interesting. 0.63
01:16:06.240 I wonder to what extent Orban did control media and the courts.
01:16:16.980 I don't know about Hungarian civil society in fantastic detail.
01:16:20.620 i just don't but interesting what you say there nonetheless brendan lucas says also for the pro
01:16:27.740 eu crowd it's a bit of a low resolution that if we rejoin we'll keep out of schengen and euro
01:16:34.460 uk is so in debt that joining euro will frankly end the country people are nuts yeah i agree with
01:16:40.940 that yeah it's not in our interest to join to have the euro absolutely yeah

01:18:30.140 mr dicky bingo met you as well it was a pleasure to shake your hand mr dicky bingo not dinky bingo
01:18:37.580 It was a nice drive from Wolves to Swindon
01:18:41.460 Wolverhampton
01:18:42.300 Yeah, some of the countryside
01:18:45.120 Up there
01:18:46.780 Whenever I've been up there on the train
01:18:48.620 Some of the countryside out the window
01:18:50.380 Lovely, lovely, it was a pleasure to meet you sir
01:18:52.860 Okay, Azzy again says
01:18:55.260 Let's have a white pill
01:18:57.000 Where's your favourite place to visit 0.97
01:18:58.580 In merry old England or Britain
01:19:00.860 For me, I love Ely Cathedral
01:19:02.940 It's a masterpiece in my opinion
01:19:04.920 Ely Cathedral is lovely
01:19:06.920 Lots of the cathedrals are wonderful
01:19:09.420 I mean what's my favourite place
01:19:11.600 There's a number of places
01:19:12.760 I personally think that Westminster Abbey
01:19:15.160 In the middle of London
01:19:16.680 Literally across the road from
01:19:18.040 Westminster Palace and the Houses of Parliament
01:19:20.820 For me
01:19:21.980 Westminster Abbey is
01:19:24.420 The heart of England
01:19:26.800 Then there's loads of places
01:19:29.460 There's loads of places that aren't necessarily historical
01:19:31.740 They're just
01:19:32.300 Like the Lake District, the Peak District
01:19:34.680 Various parts of the coast
01:19:36.760 even parts of the coast in East Anglia and Essex and Kent
01:19:40.120 lots of the south coast, places in Devon and Cornwall
01:19:44.460 absolutely lovely, the Brecon Beacons in Wales
01:19:47.600 the Cairngorms, the Scottish Highland
01:19:51.620 remarkable, unbelievable scenery
01:19:54.720 then there's all sorts of history places aren't there, like various cathedrals or something
01:19:58.720 visiting Stonehenge, Salisbury Plain, there's a million and one things
01:20:03.240 I think the most remarkable space I've ever been in is Westminster Abbey.
01:20:10.480 Been there, obviously, many, many, many, many times.
01:20:14.360 It's still remarkable to me.
01:20:18.580 Westminster Abbey, nothing comes close.
01:20:20.160 St Paul's Cathedral, get real.
01:20:23.580 St Paul's Cathedral is a Johnny-come-lately-nothing burger compared to Westminster Abbey.
01:20:31.460 Okay
01:20:33.300 Last couple here
01:20:34.620 Lammy is my Kang 0.98
