00:01:33.260 god i remember being at school and writing 1990 stuff in the top right hand corner 2026 when did

00:01:39.200 that happen well that's the future isn't it that's the far-flung future skynet should have gone live

00:01:45.240 years ago at this point shouldn't it well that's enough faffing about though isn't it

00:01:52.020 It's quite enough fannying about for one month.

00:01:53.960 One thing I will say, a little bit of housekeeping.

00:01:56.120 Where I was on holiday, not only was I not, I didn't take my laptop,

00:02:01.140 not only was I not on Twitter, for most of the holiday,

00:02:04.760 I just didn't even, my phone, the battery died and I left it dead.

00:02:09.040 I wasn't looking at my phone at all.

00:02:10.600 I was completely out of the, completely.

00:02:13.280 Real old school living without even a phone.

00:02:17.580 Brilliant.

00:02:18.960 Loved it.

00:02:20.240 Loved it.

00:02:20.860 just living your life sort of moment to moment almost hour to hour the only thing you've got

00:02:25.720 to worry about is where what restaurant you're going to go to for the next meal or whatever

00:02:29.060 brilliant just don't care about the daily do cycle at all just let it that was like so i say that

00:02:36.080 because if and um i think there might be if there are details where i'm apparently not aware of

00:02:43.380 what's happened over the last like four days ago or something well yeah i'm still getting up to

00:02:47.920 speed this time 12 hours ago I was still in Rome so I've only had about three four hours sleep

00:02:53.100 this morning last night in the wee hours so if there's one or two details where it's like

00:02:57.760 how doesn't Bo know that well I'm still getting up to speed only in the last few hours the last

00:03:04.700 three hours or so with the odd tidbit while I was on holiday hearing about the odd tidbit somehow

00:03:09.760 um so apologies if there's anything that's like really obvious that I sort of miss or don't seem

00:03:15.700 to know about but i'm pretty sure having done like what two two and a half three hours worth

00:03:21.020 of reading this morning like usual um i seem to be up to speed with most of it i think so

00:03:27.460 just one small caveat there if there's anything i missed all right that's certainly enough

00:03:31.280 i think about though isn't it that's certainly enough fannying about for one morning let's get

00:03:34.420 into it what have we got okay what's that cabal of evil fleet street editors quite frankly evil

00:03:38.080 fleet street editors banging on about this morning what are they trying to beam directly

00:03:42.640 Into your brain box

00:03:43.340 What are they lying to us

00:03:44.200 About by omission

00:03:44.840 If by nothing else

00:03:45.480 What have we got

00:03:45.860 On Fleet Street

00:03:46.420 The print media

00:03:47.540 We've got

00:03:48.000 Neats crisis

00:03:49.520 Is a moral failure

00:03:51.040 You know 1.00

00:03:51.820 Young people 1.00

00:03:52.340 That aren't in education 1.00

00:03:53.340 Or employment

00:03:54.240 Or training

00:03:55.240 Neats 0.97

00:03:56.300 The lost generation 1.00

00:03:57.820 That's a moral failure

00:04:00.400 According to Andy Burnham

00:04:02.300 No mention of

00:04:05.360 The millions

00:04:06.560 Of unskilled people

00:04:07.880 That they've allowed 0.63

00:04:08.660 To come here 1.00

00:04:09.260 Over the last generation

00:04:10.280 Or so

00:04:10.580 No mention of that

00:04:12.640 No mention that the crisis, quote-unquote, to do with young people's education and employment

00:04:20.780 and training has got anything to do with millions of foreign people you've allowed it to flood

00:04:25.200 us with.

00:04:26.200 No, there's no talk of that.

00:04:27.920 That's just not an element to it, apparently.

00:04:29.460 Okay, but it's a moral failure though.

00:04:32.400 Okay, sure.

00:04:34.320 And credit crunch, not in like the 2007-2008 style credit crunch, they actually talk about

00:04:38.820 like breakfast cereals.

00:04:40.980 Or the sun is.

00:04:41.980 Sun can't help but be sloppy as all hell, can it?

00:04:45.320 Pure sloppy Joe.

00:04:46.680 Okay, credit crunch, we'll get to that when we get to the sun.

00:04:51.340 First of all, then the times, the venerable times.

00:04:53.540 Something about Arsenal football, don't care. 0.71

00:04:55.360 Okay, Iranian linked to UK attacks uses code words to plot from US jail. 0.91

00:05:01.860 Interesting, interesting.

00:05:03.880 This is a story about someone called Saidi, Saidi, that's his surname,

00:05:08.600 Mohammed

00:05:10.220 Saidi

00:05:12.700 What is it? 0.97

00:05:15.880 Mohammed

00:05:16.360 Bakr

00:05:18.120 Saeed

00:05:19.380 Dawood

00:05:20.420 Al Saidi

00:05:21.300 An Iranian person

00:05:24.520 Who's currently in a US jail 1.00

00:05:27.040 Apparently has been directing all sorts of

00:05:30.920 Terror attacks

00:05:32.160 All over Europe

00:05:33.980 Largely

00:05:34.700 Targeting Jewish people

00:05:38.080 that's what the fbi are saying the the times have seen documents that the fbi have released

00:05:45.580 saying this this one guy is directed a lot of that or that he's even admitted it apparently

00:05:50.640 towards the end of the article said he even he's admitting to it that he's part of he's directed

00:05:55.460 from tehran full-blown spy game stuff shouldn't they put him in like a much more secure facility

00:06:06.540 where you don't get to like make loads of phone calls and you don't get the ability to do that

00:06:12.360 but okay if you believe it at all if you believe it at all okay okay so there's that

00:06:19.560 france i suppose france is the biggest thing isn't it over the last week and over the weekend 0.98

00:06:29.560 a weekend of violence in france where all the black and brown kids largely are going berserk 0.95

00:06:35.600 burning stuff down looting rioting or and a black block of antifa that usually aren't all that 0.98

00:06:42.520 black and brown are they the antifa types macron rails against quote ultra left as riots lead to

00:06:50.800 2400 arrests is that the full story the ultra left i'm not saying the ultra left aren't involved they

00:06:56.220 obviously are from what relatively little i've seen they obviously are like black block antifa

00:07:01.420 traps is that the full story though it's not the full story is it macron and of course the legacy

00:07:12.360 corporate lamestream media almost immediately pivot to moaning about the far right this morning

00:07:18.680 on sky news watch a little bit of sky news usually catch up with bbc 24 on sky news just a little bit

00:07:24.300 um they were immediately mentioned tommy robinson real name steven yaxley lennon

00:07:29.040 Tommy had tweeted about it,

00:07:30.440 going, look at the state of this, basically.

00:07:32.580 They were like, so this is happening in France

00:07:34.300 and here's a tweet from Tommy Robinson.

00:07:38.500 He's like, what?

00:07:39.760 What?

00:07:41.440 It's not like Tommy Robinson isn't really the far right, is he? 0.87

00:07:43.320 He's a pro-Israeli Sivnat. 0.68

00:07:45.980 So he's not the far right.

00:07:47.340 Tommy's not the far right.

00:07:49.060 He's not the problem in any of this, is he?

00:07:52.120 Tommy's crime in all of this is noticing, isn't it?

00:07:55.300 It's difficult not to notice at this point, though, isn't it?

00:07:58.220 Sort of difficult not to notice.

00:08:01.220 Look, she's having a good time. 1.00

00:08:02.360 I guess it's a she. 1.00

00:08:03.100 Might not be. 1.00

00:08:05.000 She's laughing it up.

00:08:05.980 Look, all smiles.

00:08:07.400 Brilliant, yeah.

00:08:08.000 France is burning, looting.

00:08:09.400 Yeah, great. 0.98

00:08:10.180 Good one.

00:08:11.760 They burnt down Limoges City Hall.

00:08:17.040 And one thing I've noticed, they pivoted the story slightly.

00:08:19.320 It's not just about students and the fact that they love their education so much

00:08:23.740 and their butt hurt that the funding isn't there,

00:08:26.200 they've got some manky old moldering old textbooks there wasn't enough funding to put the

00:08:32.060 the air con on during the heat waves in the summer it's not just that now it's also uh

00:08:37.480 the cost of living it's also the cost of living right is it it's just it's just the ultra left

00:08:45.080 the the far right and noticing and uh students and uh the cost of living

00:08:51.860 yeah okay that's what it is yeah definitely not a sectarian nightmare along racial religious

00:08:58.340 ethnic and tribal lines definitely not that whatever it is it's not that and if you were

00:09:03.440 to suggest it was you may as well be a member of an actual nazi party

00:09:10.860 that's a legacy couple of mainstream media angle isn't it you may as well be a card

00:09:18.940 i remember of the national socialist german workers party of the late 1920s if you if you

00:09:24.680 notice that it is a sectarian nightmare okay okay sure yeah that paradigm is going to last isn't it

00:09:32.180 that works that makes sense sure it does all right more on that later i mean it's a big part of the 0.91

00:09:39.260 of the news across channel 4 look there's limoges a beautiful old building historic building burnt

00:09:48.680 down, burnt down. Are you sure it's not an attack on the Republic itself, French Republic

00:09:57.640 itself? Are you sure it's not a sectarian nightmare along racial, religious, tribal 0.78

00:10:03.480 and ethical, tribal religious lines? Methinks it is. France burns down. Macron, oh, the 1.00

00:10:16.840 interior minister of france offered his resignation oh i've dropped the ball here

00:10:21.380 and macron says no i'm not i don't accept your resignation

00:10:24.680 macron's not going to be in power for much longer when is the next french presidential

00:10:30.860 presidential election is next year is it january or february i can't remember exactly march at the

00:10:36.000 latest anyway he's only got a few months left in power macron whatever happens i mean literally

00:10:40.760 whatever happens because he can't run again you know like in the united states there's limits

00:10:45.180 Macron cannot be president again

00:10:46.960 So, whatever happens, he won't be in office for much longer

00:10:49.680 You know

00:10:51.540 There we go, the mail

00:10:53.300 Mayhem in Europe

00:10:54.460 Oh yeah, it's not just in France now

00:10:56.320 Street supplies in France and luxury stores looted

00:10:59.020 As ministers admit police lost control

00:11:01.720 Another night of chaos

00:11:03.080 Yeah, so looting

00:11:05.720 It's difficult not to notice

00:11:08.880 Who's doing the looting

00:11:12.620 I mean you'd have to

00:11:15.300 Willfully

00:11:16.220 Fail to

00:11:17.660 Pretend you don't notice

00:11:18.940 Don't you

00:11:20.480 Looting

00:11:22.000 Oh it's the cost of living

00:11:23.860 Sure

00:11:24.520 Sure it's the cost of living

00:11:26.500 Yeah yeah yeah

00:11:27.040 Yeah yeah yeah

00:11:27.940 It's just the far left

00:11:31.140 That's what it is

00:11:32.800 And the real problem here

00:11:35.980 Is the far right

00:11:36.780 Who might notice it

00:11:37.820 Sure

00:11:40.140 That's what's going on

00:11:41.560 Alright

00:11:41.880 What else have we got

00:11:43.980 The Prime Minister

00:11:44.660 Neat's crisis

00:11:45.540 Is moral failure

00:11:46.700 Burnham

00:11:49.620 Promises plan

00:11:51.040 To tackle

00:11:51.600 Economic catastrophe 1.00

00:11:52.820 Will mean young people 1.00

00:11:54.480 See benefits 1.00

00:11:55.340 As a backstop

00:11:56.780 Not a starting point

00:11:57.960 No mention of the millions

00:12:01.740 Of unskilled workers 0.99

00:12:02.560 You've crammed into the country

00:12:03.540 No

00:12:04.080 And in some places

00:12:05.680 Like it's hundreds of people

00:12:06.980 Unskilled people 0.56

00:12:08.460 And or young people 0.70

00:12:10.060 Without you know 0.97

00:12:10.980 A decent CV

00:12:11.700 under their belt, applying for the same job.

00:12:15.760 Not going to talk about that, no?

00:12:17.600 You want to talk to us about a moral failure?

00:12:20.080 A moral failure?

00:12:21.460 You're not going to talk about the open borders policy

00:12:23.200 we've had effectively since 1997?

00:12:26.000 Not that moral failure, no?

00:12:29.660 No, okay.

00:12:33.420 Sure, there's been a moral failure somewhere.

00:12:36.920 Let's not get into the weeds of who's responsible

00:12:39.920 for what moral failures at what point there's just been one and now there's like a million

00:12:45.540 young people at least perhaps more like two really million that will struggle to ever build

00:12:52.860 a decent cv and therefore you know get on the property ladder etc etc etc and become more 0.58

00:12:59.180 affluent than their parents there's been a moral failure somewhere along the line and let's not

00:13:04.080 look too closely at what really what happened. Something happened starting in 1997 and now

00:13:11.340 there's a generation of young people whose prospects are ruined. Okay. Okay, Andy. You

00:13:19.980 say so. The Metro. Gross. The Metro. Revolting. Absolutely.

00:13:34.080 disgusting the metro postcode lottery is real british kids in chaos oh something about tay

00:13:42.360 tay don't care right british kids in chaos report names the toughest and best places to grow up

00:13:49.400 damning findings of children's commissioner the story says that like yeah of course of course

00:13:55.320 the postcode lottery is real postcode like for america it's like a zip code basically a shorthand

00:14:01.160 way of saying depending on where you live and grow up your prospects are more or less better or bad

00:14:07.860 like if you're young and you live in like Blackpool

00:14:11.780 your chances of getting on in life are much worse than if you live in Lambeth of all places in South

00:14:21.800 London or Wiltshire or Richmond-upon-Thames yeah there's more affluent places than others yeah

00:14:31.160 yeah what did you think what did you expect when you create enclaves of people all around the 0.94

00:14:36.120 country what did you expect or again you've got like this this crazy leftoid socialist champagne

00:14:42.680 socialist idea that a country should be completely uniform the the equity the equity of society should

00:14:50.760 be completely uniform regardless of where you live no that's never ever been the case

00:14:55.080 almost certainly never will be the case whenever governments have tried to force that into reality

00:15:01.160 It ends in chaos and human misery and starvation, ultimately.

00:15:06.720 Like Cuba, I don't know, off the top of my head, North Korea, Bolshevik Russia, Maoist China, etc, etc.

00:15:14.940 Yeah, postcode watch is a real thing.

00:15:17.880 Yeah.

00:15:19.480 Alright.

00:15:21.280 The Toregraph.

00:15:23.020 The Toregraph.

00:15:23.920 Oh, look, Macron's not happy.

00:15:27.500 Ooh, leftist experiment is failing.

00:15:29.620 the experiment in socialism fails again okay the telegraph oh look boy george has chimed in

00:15:41.380 let them hate me boy george won't stop backing israel oh well i'm sure netty is over the moon

00:15:47.420 i'm sure old bb can sleep well at night now boy george is on his side problem solved

00:15:54.640 i remember i think it was after 9 11 i think dave chappelle did a was it dave chappelle someone

00:16:02.580 did a stand-up bit about jar rule that the news agencies would get jar rule a rapper

00:16:08.880 get jar rule on cbs or cnn for his take on 9 11 in the immediate aftermath i think it was

00:16:15.720 like oh we won't know what to do or what to think until we get the political analysis of jar rule

00:16:21.580 it's the same with boy george isn't it oh there's trouble in the middle east the arab-israeli

00:16:29.040 conflict we need to know what side of the fence boy george is standing on

00:16:34.320 boy george all right the tory graph german-owned zionist slop who hates britain hates nativism

00:16:43.540 in britain hates it it's vile politics that's beyond the pale if you want demographic security

00:16:50.740 in your one and only ancestral homeland.

00:16:52.700 Are you concerned that demographics are destiny?

00:16:54.940 Are you?

00:16:56.380 Do you think millions must go

00:16:58.060 in order to make sure we don't become a hated

00:17:00.280 and marginalised minority in our one and only ancestral homeland?

00:17:03.160 Do you think that?

00:17:04.300 According to the Telegraph, you're beyond the pale. 0.96

00:17:06.820 Again, you're basically a Nazi. 0.90

00:17:08.640 Do you think that?

00:17:10.360 The vile politics of division.

00:17:12.680 That's the Tory graph now.

00:17:15.040 Am I wrong? Am I exaggerating that at all?

00:17:17.200 Is that an exaggeration? One iota?

00:17:19.100 No, no.

00:17:20.740 That's what The Telegraph is.

00:17:25.040 Globalist subversive slop, in other words.

00:17:28.420 Look, Macron to ban public gatherings after riots.

00:17:31.880 All right, yeah, just crack down on it now, after the fact, yeah.

00:17:35.420 Good one.

00:17:36.220 Good luck with that.

00:17:37.800 Good luck with that.

00:17:39.680 People that burn down a town hall like Le Mouche,

00:17:41.860 are they going to care that the Elyse Palace has said,

00:17:44.940 you shouldn't gather in public?

00:17:47.780 They're going to be like, oh.

00:17:48.280 yeah right yeah i've got a jerry can of petrol and some matches here

00:17:52.800 these town halls aren't going to set fire to themselves

00:17:56.980 like they care what macron says of course they don't that's the nature of it isn't it

00:18:04.000 okay it's quite an interesting story bbc suspends use of embedded civil service

00:18:10.140 Fact checkers

00:18:11.360 Alright

00:18:11.800 Okay

00:18:14.420 Is this a surprise to everyone

00:18:17.100 That the BBC

00:18:17.740 Including BBC Verifier

00:18:19.240 The arbiters of truth

00:18:21.060 Remember

00:18:21.320 The self-appointed

00:18:22.700 Arbiters of truth

00:18:24.000 Are you concerned

00:18:25.080 What is or isn't

00:18:25.980 Misinformation or disinformation

00:18:27.180 Well

00:18:27.540 BBC Verifier will be the judge

00:18:29.600 The ultimate arbiter

00:18:31.740 Of what is or isn't

00:18:33.000 Misinformation and disinformation

00:18:34.180 Oh

00:18:34.440 Turns out

00:18:35.100 That

00:18:35.880 They're susceptible to 1.00

00:18:37.860 Bias 1.00

00:18:38.580 Along with everyone else 0.74

00:18:39.820 In fact, more than most.

00:18:42.440 The story is, in a nutshell, that the BBC, including BBC Verify,

00:18:49.140 have been using civil servants for research and fact-checking.

00:18:56.620 And lo and behold, wouldn't you know, surprise of surprises,

00:19:02.220 it's sort of bias analysis.

00:19:04.360 Yeah

00:19:06.760 From all sorts of departments

00:19:09.100 From the Home Office to the Department of Justice

00:19:10.980 So much so, so obviously so

00:19:13.600 But the BBC themselves

00:19:15.260 Have suspended their programme 1.00

00:19:17.460 Where they get civil servants

00:19:19.480 To tell them what is or isn't going on

00:19:21.880 Themselves

00:19:23.480 The BBC have suspended that, stopped that

00:19:25.060 Because it's just

00:19:25.800 It's like it's not impartial enough

00:19:30.180 There'll be a conflict of interest

00:19:31.580 Yeah

00:19:32.480 They won't stop anyway, effectively

00:19:36.100 It'll just be more behind closed doors

00:19:37.960 Because the BBC is

00:19:40.380 And in fact always has been

00:19:42.520 The public-facing media arm of the British establishment

00:19:46.700 That's what the BBC is

00:19:51.340 When the British establishment have a certain angle

00:19:54.300 They want to peddle

00:19:55.160 Like, I don't know

00:19:58.040 We're building the Millennium Dome now

00:20:00.940 We're slaughtering all the cows now 0.88

00:20:03.140 Because of mad cow disease 1.00

00:20:05.580 Or Ukraine are the goodies 0.99

00:20:08.340 And Russia are the baddies now 0.85

00:20:09.880 Whatever it is

00:20:10.520 We must go to war with Saddam now 0.81

00:20:13.120 Whatever it is 0.87

00:20:14.400 BBC will just peddle that

00:20:16.800 They're absolutely in bed

00:20:22.640 They are part of the establishment

00:20:25.800 Okay, alright

00:20:27.040 Noisy commuters to receive £1,000 fines

00:20:29.800 I wonder if anyone will ever be, like you're on a train or a bus

00:20:34.040 and you deliberately fail to use ear buds or earphones or headphones.

00:20:38.960 You're very, very deliberately not using that.

00:20:41.540 You've just got your phone on loudspeaker playing music, whatever.

00:20:46.360 They want to make it so that you can be fined up to £1,000 for that.

00:20:50.100 That almost certainly will never, ever be enforced, will it?

00:20:59.800 all right what else have we got rubio says u.s not to blame for for starlink slowdown this one

00:21:06.140 was news to me this morning i don't know if there's a great deal to the backstory to this one

00:21:10.300 apparently there's a slowdown in starlink and um rubio saying it's not the u.s's fault

00:21:15.640 i wouldn't have to read more about that that's interesting to me i have to read up more of the

00:21:21.100 details the backstory to that if there's much of a backstory burnham puts ai at heart of eu embrace 0.99

00:21:28.980 yeah because he's evil because he's a stupid and evil person so yeah why not of course that's his 0.99

00:21:35.720 take let's join rejoin the eu even though it's dying even though it's a dying beast 1.00

00:21:42.380 and germany and france may well back away from it slowly like coma backing into the hedge

00:21:50.140 unblinking meanwhile we're going to rejoin it or want to rejoin it or our government our elite

00:21:56.600 wants to the Labour Party wants to and I throw in throw on top of that AI right because Tony Blair

00:22:05.700 wants it weird freaks who shouldn't be anywhere near governance all right the eye paper

00:22:14.440 Blunkett leads Labour backlash against Burnham's pledge to change UK voting at first blush you

00:22:22.800 think oh oh okay oh good oh david blunkett blind david blunkett is actually on the right side of

00:22:30.000 history ah ah andy burnham wants to sort of change the game in labor's favor and that's just sort of

00:22:41.520 wrong and uh underhanded gross in all sorts of ways and blunt hits come out on the right side

00:22:50.240 of history uh no no that's not what it is no he's moaning that it might help the the right

00:22:58.240 okay let's read the blurb adopting proportional representation in british politics

00:23:02.480 could result in smaller parties with quote outlandish views or nativist views that we mean

00:23:08.800 nativist views it could help them um calling the shots says lord blunkett

00:23:16.240 in warning to electoral change zealots.

00:23:22.440 Several MPs tell the iPaper that they oppose the Prime Minister's surprise promise

00:23:26.300 to include Westminster voting reform in the party's next general election manifesto,

00:23:31.140 exposing splits within Labour.

00:23:34.500 Burnham could end up being, quote,

00:23:36.100 the last ever Labour Prime Minister of a majority Labour government, quote,

00:23:39.580 said one Redwall MP,

00:23:41.320 with another describing a move to PR as a terrible idea.

00:23:46.920 Blunkett warns of Israeli-style politics,

00:23:49.560 saying, be extremely careful what you wish for.

00:23:53.660 So they're actually only criticising Andy Burnham

00:23:56.800 because it might actually benefit smaller parties.

00:24:01.480 Classic Labour, not just Labour, classic lefties.

00:24:04.720 Whatever it takes.

00:24:06.600 This is how they operate, isn't it?

00:24:08.360 Whatever it takes

00:24:10.240 By a fair means or foul

00:24:12.680 Whatever it takes to stop

00:24:16.100 Real patriots and or nativists

00:24:18.180 Having a voice

00:24:19.180 Whatever it is

00:24:21.560 Fair means or foul

00:24:22.720 Always

00:24:23.520 At every turn

00:24:24.380 That's all they know

00:24:26.400 That's all they know

00:24:28.000 David Blunkett

00:24:31.260 The Lord Blunkett

00:24:32.360 Isn't it time you just shuffled off into obscurity now Blunkett

00:24:35.840 Didn't you do enough

00:24:37.900 weren't you home secretary during the some of the blair years

00:24:41.360 yeah i think you've done enough in fact i think you should answer for some of your crimes against

00:24:48.080 the people but now you're gonna pipe up make sure smaller parties with outlandish views don't ever

00:24:54.360 have a voice you piece of blanket get lost the sun okay bit of a sloppy joke here so

00:25:07.860 We'll do it real quick.

00:25:08.680 Sloppy joke.

00:25:09.180 Look, something about Tay-Tay. 0.98

00:25:10.020 Don't care. 1.00

00:25:10.940 Nanny State Fury. 0.99

00:25:11.800 Credit crunch.

00:25:15.880 It's not a crunch in the international credit markets.

00:25:18.700 They're actually talking about brand flakes and things.

00:25:21.940 That sort of crunch.

00:25:22.800 Captain Crunch type crunch.

00:25:25.280 Labour's rule brands good foods unhealthy.

00:25:28.800 Price of brand flakes, porridge and juice to soar.

00:25:32.600 I'm not even going to go into any more details about that.

00:25:34.840 That's what the sun has decided.

00:25:35.940 other than say that's what the sun has decided is the most important thing today on the front page

00:25:41.700 front and center could talk about in essence anything going on in the entire world

00:25:48.180 they're going to talk about the price of bran flakes

00:25:56.420 right

00:26:00.500 the independent is that the arc the triumph is it

00:26:05.940 I'm not sure if it is, actually. Isn't the architecture of much bigger?

00:26:07.800 Is that one of the other triumphal arches in Paris?

00:26:10.660 Anyway, there's a picture of Paris.

00:26:12.920 France cleans up after a weekend of violence and destruction.

00:26:16.600 It's just general purpose violence and destruction.

00:26:20.700 Not even linking it to youth and education reform

00:26:23.940 or the cost of living crisis.

00:26:27.680 Just general violence.

00:26:30.780 Don't notice who's actually doing it by and large.

00:26:33.100 I don't notice who's actually doing it

00:26:36.960 What their motivations might be

00:26:39.960 The Independent

00:26:43.660 Pure subversion

00:26:45.200 The Independent

00:26:46.260 Like all of them

00:26:47.480 Like every single one of them

00:26:49.660 Spinning reality

00:26:52.420 Every day

00:26:55.580 Without fail

00:26:58.100 Without fail

00:26:59.260 to try and not give any oxygen to right-wing politics

00:27:05.880 or nativist concern.

00:27:09.520 That's their modus operandi, isn't it?

00:27:11.360 That's their main agenda,

00:27:13.220 is to try and stop us from noticing.

00:27:17.280 Every single day, every single story, every time.

00:27:22.460 Okay.

00:27:23.460 Major new report says UK has to rejoin the EU.

00:27:26.440 Says who? Sorry.

00:27:28.180 What?

00:27:29.260 Being part of the European Union has now become imperative in the light of Russian aggression and Donald Trump's unpredictability, warns leading think tank, the Institute of Public Policy Research.

00:27:40.960 Oh right, so that's not an objective truth or anything, that's just what one globalist left-leaning think tank says.

00:27:50.060 It's not objectively true, is it?

00:27:54.260 But yeah, there you go, that's the independent, that's who they are, they'll put that front and centre.

00:27:59.260 and report on it as though it's just a fact major new report says it just says it's just a statement

00:28:05.740 a fact that uk has to rejoin the eu oh no no we don't no we don't not a dying eu a project that

00:28:14.940 has helped ruin europe and is in fact itself dying slowly we have to rejoin it no we don't

00:28:22.780 the institute of public policy research again i think historians

00:28:26.300 I really do think historians will look back at sort of the late 20th century, the early 21st century, and wonder a bit about how Europe, the strange death of Europe, how Europe found itself in a sectarian nightmare along racial, religious, ethnic and tribal lines.

00:28:50.420 How did that happen?

00:28:53.000 The origins of World War I, how did it happen?

00:28:55.440 The guns of August, suddenly all the monarchies of Europe

00:28:57.980 descended into a bloodbath one day in August 1914.

00:29:03.420 What happened?

00:29:07.120 They'll look at the early 21st century, what happened?

00:29:10.020 And you can point to individual people and what they did and said.

00:29:14.220 You can point to something like the Institute for Public Policy Research.

00:29:18.320 and say, look, we've got the documentation.

00:29:21.260 This is what they published.

00:29:22.560 This is what they said.

00:29:24.920 That's how.

00:29:31.860 You can look at what people like, you know, Michael Gove said,

00:29:35.140 what Tony Blair said, whatever.

00:29:40.160 OK, The Guardian.

00:29:41.440 Oh, what is that disgusting smell?

00:29:46.560 It smells like a charnel house.

00:29:48.320 am I going to get ill

00:29:51.280 from just the smell

00:29:52.460 am I going to get typhus or cholera

00:29:54.840 just from the smell of the Guardian

00:29:57.240 it's possible

00:29:58.280 it's that rank

00:30:00.180 have a word for yourself

00:30:03.880 the Guardian, alright

00:30:06.080 alright, what's the Guardian got for us

00:30:08.120 what globalist subversion have they got

00:30:10.760 Macron condemns

00:30:12.840 unbridled violence of huge

00:30:14.960 French riots

00:30:15.780 yeah, there you go

00:30:18.300 can we see that

00:30:21.860 ok

00:30:23.600 2000 arrests

00:30:26.100 as public buildings burned

00:30:27.880 and hundreds of shops looted

00:30:29.400 by who exactly

00:30:32.280 you're not going to talk about that are you

00:30:33.520 they might mention

00:30:35.200 I think on the BBC

00:30:36.660 at one point they mentioned

00:30:39.880 some of this is happening in the more diverse

00:30:42.400 cities of France

00:30:43.920 that's it, that's about as far as they're prepared to go at this point

00:30:48.300 And then anyone that mentions who they really are,

00:30:52.320 oh, no, no, that's now,

00:30:54.520 oh, now you're in the territory of the far right noticing things.

00:30:58.980 Can't have that.

00:31:01.520 Protests spread across Europe

00:31:03.760 as tensions over cost of living crisis.

00:31:05.940 It's the cost of living.

00:31:07.660 It's not tribal sectarianism, racial sectarianism.

00:31:12.000 It's not that.

00:31:12.580 No, no, no, no, no.

00:31:13.620 It's the cost of living crisis.

00:31:15.400 spreading to milan and other places oh and it's in the post for everywhere else

00:31:20.620 it's in the mail for spain germany britain all over the place sweden whatever everywhere

00:31:26.400 everywhere switzerland even everywhere oh yeah it's in the post it's in the mail don't say we

00:31:32.640 didn't warn you if nothing else i actually think that's a lame thing to do to have called something

00:31:37.440 ahead of time especially something really bad and destructive and horrible to call it ahead of time

00:31:42.640 And then when it happens, just say, see, I called it, aren't I the smartest?

00:31:47.760 I'm the smartest, you should listen to me more, because my takes were prescient.

00:31:52.140 I think that's lame, really lame.

00:31:56.540 But still, don't say, not just me, I'm not just saying me,

00:31:59.940 that the right, in general, didn't warn you.

00:32:05.700 I mean, it's pretty obvious as well, isn't it?

00:32:07.500 It's not like some sort of great insight.

00:32:10.240 It's obvious.

00:32:12.640 You flood your country with millions and millions of people that hate you,

00:32:17.360 then, yeah, you'll get sectarian problems. 0.54

00:32:20.940 Yeah.

00:32:22.860 All right.

00:32:23.860 The mail, the daily fail.

00:32:32.620 The daily fail. 0.91

00:32:34.480 True cost of labour migration dithering.

00:32:37.860 at least 200,000 people

00:32:41.440 given right to remain

00:32:43.400 since Crackdown Promise

00:32:44.640 official figures show

00:32:46.400 that's odd 0.90

00:32:46.840 I thought they were going to put Woke away

00:32:47.980 that's odd

00:32:48.800 I thought

00:32:49.680 that this new Labour government

00:32:51.800 was so good at playing 4D chess

00:32:54.380 that they would actually curb things

00:32:55.860 no

00:32:59.020 the story is

00:33:00.760 something like 5,000 people a week

00:33:03.140 is it a day or a week

00:33:07.860 a week every week at least 5 000 more people are given indefinite right to remain so just

00:33:15.800 and you can bring over your family's chain migration you can use the nhs and you can

00:33:20.620 claim benefits forever forever 5 000 more a week and that number is only set to rise because of

00:33:26.100 the boris wave the boris wave which is knocking five years ago

00:33:30.640 when all those people get the indefinite right to remain

00:33:34.820 we need an actual nativist government don't we aim high vote low millions must go from 0.96

00:33:45.080 zoomers to boomers vote low we'll strip them of that we'll strip them of their citizenship 0.87

00:33:51.600 oh oh you can't strip people of british british citizenship yes you can yeah you can particularly 1.00

00:33:56.780 first generation immigrants yeah you definitely can definitely yeah it was wrong talk about a 1.00

00:34:04.340 moral failure it was wrong for those people to be ever allowed to have an indefinite right to

00:34:10.980 remain they came here legally oh but they came here legally you can't strip them of their citizenship

00:34:16.200 yes you can yeah yeah they've got a country of origin they can go back there because they're 1.00

00:34:21.620 ruining our country not just financially although that as well um ultimately ruining our demographic 0.99

00:34:32.120 Which is destiny 1.00

00:34:33.720 Making us a hated and marginalised minority 1.00

00:34:37.400 In our one and only ancestral homeland 1.00

00:34:38.780 It can't be allowed to stand

00:34:40.340 It will not stand

00:34:41.460 Can't do

00:34:42.960 It just depends how dark and brutal it gets

00:34:49.660 Before that's reversed

00:34:50.580 That's all

00:34:51.080 It's the only thing in question

00:34:53.080 Right

00:34:54.780 The Express

00:34:55.840 It's a good paper

00:34:56.920 You can read your Express now 1.00

00:35:02.120 If you're a credulous moron. 1.00

00:35:05.340 The Express. 1.00

00:35:06.100 Wearing the skin suit of something that's patriotic or nativist. 0.90

00:35:14.760 It cares about England.

00:35:15.780 No, it doesn't.

00:35:16.860 It's trying to subvert our very way of living and ruining us in our own ancestral homeland.

00:35:23.200 That's what The Express really is.

00:35:25.500 Pretending it isn't doing that. 0.99

00:35:28.080 Disgusting. 0.98

00:35:28.880 Exclusive. 0.93

00:35:29.360 desperate farmers call on Andy Bumham

00:35:41.980 whenever they

00:35:42.740 an old farmer dies

00:35:45.160 and the land

00:35:47.480 the farm passed down

00:35:49.440 through inheritance to the next generation

00:35:51.580 a big tax on that

00:35:55.120 the inheritance tax on that, specifically that

00:35:57.200 you need to axe it now

00:35:58.960 otherwise it's going to ruin what small amount of farming we've got in this country that's left. 0.94

00:36:06.560 But, the thing is, leftist champagne socialists, Fabians,

00:36:15.920 weirdo crypto-communists like Andy Burnham, their mind is still in the 1980s,

00:36:21.080 where Mrs Thatcher is evil, Fabianism is perfectly good. 0.84

00:36:25.820 They hate any sort of inheritance

00:36:29.560 Don't they? Any

00:36:30.260 Particularly land

00:36:32.560 They hate old money

00:36:33.780 It's one of the things you'll be indoctrinated with

00:36:36.720 If you've ever been indoctrinated with leftism

00:36:38.880 One of the biggest evils

00:36:42.860 Is old money

00:36:44.780 Passing down land and wealth through the generations 0.89

00:36:48.880 Because that's unfair

00:36:50.140 Remember everything's about fairness

00:36:52.660 Equality and equity

00:36:53.880 That would be unfair

00:36:55.560 so it must be destroyed

00:36:57.660 that's what leftism is

00:37:02.320 that's what it is really

00:37:04.580 the politics of resentment

00:37:07.180 anyone that's got money

00:37:10.720 wealth

00:37:12.520 you're the problem according to them

00:37:14.960 and once you've got rid of the truly wealthy

00:37:18.220 well then you keep going down the line

00:37:21.160 down the stack

00:37:21.780 till you get to kulaks 0.97

00:37:23.160 till you get to working class people 0.99

00:37:25.160 that have got anything at all. 1.00

00:37:27.740 And even they will be stamped out. 1.00

00:37:29.700 Filthy kulak. 1.00

00:37:32.740 Not exaggerating. 1.00

00:37:33.780 That is what it always boils down to.

00:37:35.220 Always.

00:37:38.280 Okay, the Financial Times.

00:37:39.780 Look, France is in turmoil a bit.

00:37:41.460 Okay, I guess we got it.

00:37:43.140 The AI bubble, baby bursting.

00:37:45.120 Okay.

00:37:46.680 The Mirror.

00:37:47.520 What slop have we got?

00:37:48.920 Yeah, just a few seconds then

00:37:49.980 because it's so sloppy.

00:37:51.100 Anyone even remember Ellie Goulding? 0.99

00:37:53.220 This woman was a recording artist

00:37:55.300 She did a few songs, didn't she? 1.00

00:37:58.460 She got a bit OTT on the Botox

00:38:00.560 Anyway

00:38:00.840 Ellie Goulding 0.81

00:38:02.520 Has been accused of hypocrisy 0.99

00:38:04.120 Because she's like an eco-campaigner 1.00

00:38:07.420 But then she's also wearing 1.00

00:38:09.340 Jewels, diamonds 0.99

00:38:11.700 That come from one particular Australian

00:38:14.020 Diamond mine

00:38:15.280 Which is a pollution horror

00:38:19.280 That's it

00:38:21.680 That's what the Mirror has decided 0.99

00:38:23.160 is the most important thing today the most important thing is that ellie goulding is guilty

00:38:28.140 of a small amount of hypocrisy she probably wasn't even aware of i know i'm not trying to

00:38:33.400 play defense on the heart of bloody ellie bloody goulding but that's not news is it that's not 0.92

00:38:38.700 news at all let alone national news front page national news what okay the star proper sloppy

00:38:48.680 joe this so just one or two seconds in fact you see the last one this is the last one just one

00:38:52.280 or two seconds. Pete Doherty. Anyone remember Pete Doherty? Rocker Pete Doherty ate a big

00:38:59.700 breakfast. Yeah. There was some sort of big breakfast challenge, like 8,000 calories.

00:39:07.240 Look, you see a picture there. Some sort of giant brekkie. And he ate it all because he's

00:39:13.400 fat body now it seems and uh he said he said it was important look he said polishing off the 8 000

00:39:25.720 calorie breakfast felt important it's not mate it's not you're not that's it i'm not going to

00:39:31.720 spend more than one second on that that's that it's almost funny wasn't it if if europe and

00:39:40.600 and the world wasn't going to hell in a handbasket one way or another, 0.72

00:39:43.840 it would be funny, wouldn't it?

00:39:47.920 Not funny.

00:39:49.300 It's deadly serious.

00:39:52.640 Alright.

00:39:53.480 Shall we look at our poll?

00:39:55.680 We'll look at our poll about this time of the day,

00:39:58.320 don't we, on the Bose Breakfast Club.

00:40:01.740 What did we ask you guys?

00:40:03.640 Oh, just shy of 2,000 votes.

00:40:05.800 That's nice.

00:40:07.580 That's nice.

00:40:08.200 We'll probably tick over 2,000 votes in a minute.

00:40:09.680 right we asked you guys is france truly descending into a sectarian nightmare i think i've made my

00:40:16.680 feelings clear on that over the last 40 odd minutes and the eyes have it

00:40:23.060 to the tune of a cool 81 we gave you the options of yes no maybe i don't know yes no maybe

00:40:31.540 i don't know can you repeat the question anyone remember malcolm in the middle i quite liked

00:40:39.540 Malcolm in the middle

00:40:40.120 Rhys was my favourite one 0.78

00:40:43.680 anyway

00:40:44.820 yes

00:40:45.780 the yes

00:40:46.180 the eyes have it

00:40:46.860 81%

00:40:47.580 4% of you say no

00:40:49.580 11% of you say maybe

00:40:51.120 which is actually

00:40:52.200 fair enough

00:40:52.960 and 5% say

00:40:55.480 5% say I don't know

00:40:56.740 which is also fair enough

00:40:57.620 if you're honest

00:40:58.440 the 4% of you

00:41:00.800 that said no

00:41:01.620 what are you smoking

00:41:05.640 what planet are you living on

00:41:08.520 get out

00:41:09.560 This isn't the podcast for you, is it?

00:41:10.880 Clearly, you're in the wrong place.

00:41:12.420 What do you mean, no?

00:41:13.300 You better be trolling me.

00:41:14.420 Go on, just get out.

00:41:16.000 Go on, jog on.

00:41:17.800 You're not welcome here.

00:41:18.640 Don't go, though.

00:41:19.420 But don't go.

00:41:19.860 That was a joke.

00:41:20.540 I'm joking.

00:41:21.140 Baby, baby, don't leave me.

00:41:23.320 Please.

00:41:24.140 I was mucking about.

00:41:25.720 Don't leave.

00:41:26.160 Don't go.

00:41:26.820 We can still make this work.

00:41:30.400 Right.

00:41:30.920 Okay.

00:41:33.760 All right.

00:41:34.920 Let's do On This Day in History.

00:41:36.600 I quite like doing that bit.

00:41:37.620 that's a segment we do on this show don't we on both breakfast club don't you forget about me

00:41:42.080 on this day in history start rounding out the show on this day the 19th of october down through

00:41:48.340 the centuries nay the millennia what happened of note all right 19th of october what have we got

00:41:54.040 let's have a look-see on this day in the year 202 bc ah the battle of zama hannibal that's

00:42:01.240 Hannibal Barker, not Hannibal the Cannibal, Hannibal Barker and the Carthaginian army are

00:42:07.300 defeated by Roman legions under Scipio Africanus, ending the Second Punic War. Do you reckon I've

00:42:15.380 got loads of long-form content about the Second Punic War? On my History Things show, Behind

00:42:22.380 the Paywall, on LotusEaters.com, consider heading over to LotusEaters.com if you're not already

00:42:26.700 watching this streaming on the website consider heading over to lowseaters.com for as little as

00:42:32.480 five pound a month you can become a bronze tier member and that gives you access to all the pay 0.70

00:42:37.680 world content it's not just my show faras has got a show hasn't he dan tub big danny t's got a show

00:42:44.380 stelios did a show luca's got a show even old josh firm the firminator all his old contemplations

00:42:51.860 My show alone, knocking up towards 300 episodes, all long form, so quite literally without exaggeration, hundreds of hours of just history-themed content, because that's my actual true love.

00:43:05.400 My undergrad is in classical civilisations. A lot of it is ancient and medieval history, not all of it, but most of it is.

00:43:11.560 I think I've got long form content all about the second Punic War.

00:43:15.760 Do you think also on my own channel, History Bro, consider checking that out, also long form content.

00:43:19.940 I think I've got five hours of me and Carl Benjamin.

00:43:22.340 You know Carl Benjamin, don't you?

00:43:23.580 That saga of a cad fella.

00:43:25.260 You know him. Of course you do.

00:43:26.700 I think I've got five hours of me and him not behind the paywall

00:43:29.900 chatting about Hannibal and the Second Punic War.

00:43:33.280 Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

00:43:34.900 So anyway, Zamo is not the final chapter,

00:43:38.480 but nearly the final chapter.

00:43:40.900 Eventually, after Hannibal crossed the Alps famously with his elephants,

00:43:45.680 ransacked Italy for the best part of 20 years,

00:43:49.060 eventually was forced back to North Africa 0.98

00:43:51.200 that's where Carthage is

00:43:52.160 and was followed by Scipio Africanus

00:43:55.280 they finally had a big showdown

00:43:57.280 on the plains of North Africa

00:43:59.260 just outside Carthage

00:44:00.880 well not just outside Carthage but

00:44:02.460 in North Africa

00:44:04.120 Battle of Zama

00:44:05.420 where the Romans won

00:44:08.480 that broke the back of Carthage

00:44:11.240 and Hannibal

00:44:13.180 not physically broke his back

00:44:15.360 but he escaped actually

00:44:16.920 later to be hunted down.

00:44:21.660 Anyway, it's a long story.

00:44:23.260 Do you want hours and hours of it?

00:44:28.280 Me telling you the story in sort of silly detail

00:44:31.260 with all sorts of quotes from what, like,

00:44:33.880 Plutarch and Livy and all sorts of stuff.

00:44:36.700 Oh, yeah, it's content.

00:44:37.760 All right.

00:44:38.640 The Surrender at Yorktown.

00:44:41.380 Yeah, we've got all sorts of content

00:44:42.520 about the American Revolutionary War.

00:44:44.120 A fair few in conversation with Benjamin Boyce.

00:44:46.220 you know Benjamin Boise

00:44:47.200 well alright isn't he Boise

00:44:48.120 I love Boise

00:44:49.900 here we talk all about

00:44:51.640 the Revolutionary War

00:44:52.260 a couple of different times

00:44:53.120 one about George Washington

00:44:54.180 long form

00:44:54.720 really long form

00:44:55.420 more like 3-4 hours

00:44:57.100 sort of long form

00:44:57.760 talk about George Washington

00:44:58.900 talk about Jefferson

00:44:59.900 we've got one about

00:45:00.980 talking about Alexander Hamilton

00:45:01.860 anyway

00:45:02.220 Yorktown

00:45:03.000 on this day in 1781

00:45:04.640 British forces

00:45:05.340 under General Charles Cornwallis

00:45:07.560 signed terms of surrender

00:45:08.900 to George Washington

00:45:09.780 and the Comte

00:45:11.020 to Rochambeau

00:45:12.680 the Comte de Rochambeau

00:45:14.240 at Yorktown

00:45:15.420 at 2pm

00:45:16.000 Effectively ending the American Revolutionary War

00:45:18.380 Yeah 0.94

00:45:18.900 The French almost, well, kind of did bankrupt themselves 0.96

00:45:23.040 In order to help the US colonists defeat the British Empire 0.99

00:45:28.960 Oh, okay

00:45:31.340 1781, how'd that work out for you, France, in the end?

00:45:36.360 How'd that work out for you?

00:45:38.280 Alright

00:45:38.520 Yeah, well done

00:45:40.840 The government of Lord North at the time

00:45:43.180 In the government, the British government

00:45:44.780 collapsed when that news got back to London.

00:45:49.080 They were like,

00:45:49.840 uh, it's not over, we'll send another army.

00:45:52.560 Will you? You sure about that?

00:45:54.580 Yeah, it's over.

00:45:56.680 British troops didn't actually leave for years.

00:45:58.440 I think there was still a garrison on, like,

00:45:59.860 Manhattan Island until, like,

00:46:01.600 1788 or 1789 or whatever.

00:46:04.020 The US Constitution and things wasn't ratified

00:46:05.820 for many a year, but

00:46:07.020 the hot war was effectively over

00:46:09.920 at that point.

00:46:11.860 Fascinating stuff? It's a much more nuanced

00:46:14.120 and deep story than most people think.

00:46:16.900 It started in 1776, there was a war,

00:46:19.520 ended in 1781 at Yorktown,

00:46:21.000 and that's it, you've just got the United States now.

00:46:23.520 There's a lot more to it than that.

00:46:26.480 A lot more to it.

00:46:27.700 And it's a fascinating story.

00:46:28.980 All right, on this day in 1943,

00:46:32.740 Streptomasin,

00:46:34.620 am I pronouncing that incorrectly?

00:46:36.380 Almost certainly.

00:46:39.740 Streptomasin.

00:46:41.620 I'm not a doctor, you might have guessed.

00:46:44.120 The first antibiotic remedy for tuberculosis is isolated by researchers at Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey.

00:46:55.160 That's interesting. I always find that interesting, that antibiotics isn't old.

00:46:59.820 1943.

00:47:02.220 You could die of any infection before then.

00:47:06.180 In fact, if I remember, one of the first times they ever tested it.

00:47:10.680 I think he was

00:47:12.460 I apologize if I get any of this wrong

00:47:14.400 I read this somewhere, heard it somewhere

00:47:16.720 I think he was a postman

00:47:18.480 when he was delivering a letter one day

00:47:20.440 he walked through someone's gate

00:47:21.960 and a rose bush at sort of head level

00:47:24.560 a thorn from a rose bush

00:47:27.220 nicked his cheek, tiny little nick on the cheek

00:47:29.360 and it got infected

00:47:32.500 and he was going to get blood poisoning

00:47:35.400 septicemia or whatever and he was going to die

00:47:36.920 his body wasn't fighting it off

00:47:40.360 and you're going to die.

00:47:42.340 And they gave him antibiotics

00:47:43.620 and he recovered.

00:47:44.660 They were like,

00:47:44.980 oh, this is a wonderful drug.

00:47:47.980 But imagine living in a world

00:47:49.060 not that long ago

00:47:49.920 within living memory

00:47:50.880 where any time you cut yourself,

00:47:54.320 any tiniest thing,

00:47:55.020 like a tiny nick from a thorn,

00:47:57.180 if your body didn't fight it off

00:47:58.680 on its own, you die.

00:48:00.780 What a much more precarious world that is.

00:48:04.600 You've got a little baby

00:48:05.720 and it gets a lung infection

00:48:07.040 and it kills it.

00:48:07.940 there's nothing you can do about it or very little infant mortality through the roof compared to

00:48:16.100 modern day imagine living in that world if you weren't physically strong you don't make it to

00:48:24.280 adulthood i probably would have died in infancy if it wasn't for antibiotics i got bronchitis like

00:48:30.380 half a dozen times or something when i was a kid i may well have died in infancy how many of you

00:48:36.380 out there, hand on heart, know that that was probably, may well have been the case for you.

00:48:43.280 Okay. Antibiotics. An incredible thing. Truly civilizational level changing event. The discovery

00:48:53.660 of antibiotics. All right. On this day in 1983, US Senate establishes Martin Luther King Day.

00:49:01.520 Yeah, well done.

00:49:03.660 As a federal holiday observed on the third Monday in January,

00:49:07.280 on or near his January the 15th birthday.

00:49:09.840 Well done. Yeah, well done.

00:49:12.100 Don't look at Martin Luther King in any detail.

00:49:14.000 His life and what he was really like and what he really said and did,

00:49:16.780 who he really was.

00:49:18.920 Just accept the low-resolution liar that he's some sort of great hero.

00:49:25.060 I think Harry, Big Harry Robinson at LotusEaters.com, you know him, Big Harry.

00:49:28.640 I think he's got long-form content talking about Martin Luther King, hasn't he?

00:49:35.420 Alright, not quite as squeaky clean as you might think, Martin Luther King.

00:49:40.260 Alright, on this day, 1987, Black Monday.

00:49:43.620 Stock markets around the world crash, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average,

00:49:48.800 which falls 508 points, 22%, over 20%, 4.5 times the previous daily record.

00:49:56.120 Yeah, that's more than happened on the Wall Street crash.

00:49:59.480 The Wall Street crash was in at around 12%.

00:50:03.120 The credit crunch of 2008 or whatever was like 8%, just shy of 8% or something.

00:50:11.620 22% Black Monday.

00:50:14.060 Significantly worse than the Wall Street crash.

00:50:15.660 Well, I say he's significantly worse.

00:50:18.460 Was it, though?

00:50:20.220 Because there's different types of crashes.

00:50:21.600 I've got long-form content with Dan Tubb, who's an actual economist.

00:50:26.120 I've got long-form content talking about various historical crashes and bubbles from the South

00:50:34.200 Sea bubble, the 18th century South Sea bubble, the tulip mania in Holland in more like the 17th

00:50:41.360 century, the Wall Street crash, Black Wednesday, all sorts of ones. Some of them have more or less

00:50:49.260 lasting effects like the wall street crash had massive massive generational long lasting effects

00:50:56.380 well you got the great depression right whereas this one black monday interestingly although it's

00:51:02.280 the biggest to this day the biggest ever one day fall in stock prices the markets rebounded very

00:51:09.940 very quickly. I mean, the US market for the year 1987 to 1988 grew slightly. And then

00:51:21.480 in 1989, it grew slightly, quite a lot. So Black Monday, as bad as it is, again, the

00:51:28.580 all-time one-day fall, it was sort of more like a trader's panic rather than like a true

00:51:39.700 economic, the harbinger of a true economic depression. Interesting, these bubbles and these

00:51:46.600 crashes, each one's got a slightly different flavour to it. Interesting, none of this, Black 1.00

00:51:51.940 Monday. Okay, and on this day in 2015, scientists from the University of California find evidence

00:51:58.320 that life on earth may have begun 4.1 billion years ago, 300 million years earlier than previously

00:52:04.540 thought. Well, I could sit here and talk for an hour without exaggeration, it's not a humble brag,

00:52:08.980 could sit here and talk for an hour about the early earth the conditions on the early earth

00:52:13.340 and what it requires like to the genesis of life and all that sort of thing and geology and what

00:52:19.000 scientists now think and I would love to do that but don't have the time it's gone 10-2

00:52:26.100 fascinating nonetheless how old the earth really is when exactly life began was it transpermia

00:52:36.000 did it come from another world or an asteroid a comet or did it begin actually here on earth

00:52:43.580 did god do it all those questions all right let's that's the last uh on this day in history factoid

00:52:51.620 let's go over to our rumba rants and super chats we do that at this point in the show let me do

00:53:35.320 he says this

00:53:36.080 on this day in 2018

00:53:39.800 Leonid

00:53:41.120 Ravinsky bought a 75%

00:53:43.680 share in OnlyFans

00:53:44.860 turning it from a site where individuals

00:53:47.060 shared hobbies and skills

00:53:48.420 into a site predominantly for pornography

00:53:51.100 and lewd displays

00:53:52.760 and the second one you've put

00:53:54.580 today OnlyFans makes a global turnover

00:53:57.100 of 8 billion dollars, bloody hell does it 0.94

00:53:59.120 eight billion dollars apparently a year and is an avenue for millions of young women to realize 0.92

00:54:05.860 their dream i detect a hint of sarcasm their dream all thanks to one talented jewish businessman

00:54:12.360 exclamation mark ah before now i've wondered because global jewish history this person

00:54:21.700 um couches their stuff in in sarcasm obviously but so well that i've questioned even wait are you

00:54:29.820 are you actually sort of pro-jewish or are you just being really sarcastic i i believe now 0.97

00:54:34.660 it's pretty clear it's sarcasm yeah gross only fans gross gross are you a young lady out there 0.90

00:54:42.960 who's physically attractive and considering having a career that's just doing only fans don't do that

00:54:48.320 don't do that get a personality maybe do some reading become a well-rounded individual

00:54:55.660 because your looks won't last forever love yeah only fans gross yeah gross although one thing i

00:55:02.860 would say i've got some libertarian leanings i am not a libertarian i would not describe my

00:55:07.980 overriding political view as libertarian but i've got some libertarian leanings certainly

00:55:12.600 is it only fans itself the site that is the problem or is it a more general malaise

00:55:20.720 among society that allows something like only fans to flourish

00:55:25.220 is it that

00:55:29.360 all right got a fair few of these so let's whip through them a little bit

00:55:35.960 we've got that's their name that's what this person's called himself that's underscore their

00:55:40.920 underscore name that's their name says

00:56:39.080 scheduling okay secondly japan is meant to be hit worse than us by the iran war why is there fuel

00:56:47.740 around 75p a litre compared to two pounds i mean that's a complicated question there's so many

00:56:54.040 factors to that um actually dan tarban for us would probably be better to answer that question

00:57:03.480 but i mean i can give you a few things but it's just so in fact we usually look at the price of

00:57:07.780 crude but the link isn't there this morning but um usually we do look at the price of crude

00:57:12.400 nearly every day don't we check in with it on the lotus seaters breakfast club hashtag the real lbc

00:57:18.240 um okay that's just a very that's actually a very very complicated question if you even want to

01:01:10.620 rants, ranting about the traitors. Firas was impressive. Firas is impressive. There's no 1.00

01:01:17.560 one at Lotus Eaters that's weak in terms of general knowledge and understanding of their

01:01:22.980 field. I would say Firas is particularly strong. He knows his stuff. Really knows his stuff. I'm

01:01:31.620 not saying that anyone else doesn't, but you can pick his brain on stuff more and more into more

01:01:36.540 and more fine detail and you don't really find the bottom of that like apostolic majesty like

01:01:42.840 furious pertinex like a number of like tom rosell their depth of knowledge is very very very good

01:01:50.740 fras is one of those anyway he said fras was impressive he sounded he sounded totally

01:01:55.600 unimpressed with the news it was funny he wouldn't respond to my fed posts then you've

01:02:01.600 put out a bunch of laughing and crying emojis.

01:02:05.760 It's not everyone's cup of tea, is it?

01:02:06.920 Responding to Fed posts.

01:02:10.300 I quite like pig dogs, Fed posts, if anything. 0.51

01:02:13.260 Okay.

01:02:15.100 Merrick Mel says,

01:02:16.740 not sure if you've noticed the new India-Canada trade deal.

01:02:20.900 I've never seen anything like it.

01:02:22.360 It signals full alignment,

01:02:24.500 giving Indian corporations carte blanche 0.92

01:02:26.400 over Canada's oil, uranium and minerals.

01:02:29.760 Is that true?

01:02:30.660 I'll have to look inside.

01:02:31.340 I'll have to research that, for sure.

01:02:33.080 If that's true, remarkable.

01:02:35.700 Well then, you don't have control over your own minerals,

01:02:38.940 particularly Canada, which is insanely resource-rich Canada.

01:02:43.180 We don't even know how much untapped minerals and resources

01:02:47.980 they've got in Canada. 0.95

01:02:49.600 They've just given carte blanche to India. 0.98

01:02:52.700 If that's true, and I'm not saying it's not, 1.00

01:02:54.100 if you say so, I'm prepared to believe you.

01:02:57.000 That's bizarre, suicidal, and wrong.

01:03:02.040 Terrible, really.

01:03:03.160 Okay, TomRat247 says,

01:03:06.860 what's FWIW, Little Harry?

01:03:11.120 What's that stand for?

01:03:11.740 I feel like I should know that.

01:03:17.600 Oh, yeah, that's right, yeah.

01:03:19.460 So you've put,

01:03:19.860 For what it's worth, PR, proportional representation,

01:03:23.260 electoral reform,

01:03:25.020 is trading the current gradual then sudden epochal change

01:03:28.760 for mildew leftist

01:03:31.360 coalitions till collapse

01:03:33.580 it's not a bad, it could

01:03:35.380 well be a fair point, and you've put 0.98

01:03:37.380 a kefir smothering your 0.99

01:03:41.520 face forever

01:03:42.160 maybe, yeah, I'm not

01:03:45.500 going to say that's a terrible wrong headed

01:03:47.560 take, maybe

01:03:49.380 yeah, I hope

01:03:55.260 you're wrong, I hope that take

01:03:57.340 proves to be just incorrect but it may well not be it may well not be oh god all right all right

01:04:54.960 of innocents yeah no absolutely i 100% agree with that 100% that's what it will end up being won't

01:07:42.860 hardly anyone would use it right yeah yeah something like OnlyFans is just it's a symptom

01:07:51.740 isn't it it's not the actual disease you know luke gets it all right that's their name again

01:08:40.560 noted okay pig dog again next one says i was kicking off last night at reform voters saying

01:08:47.020 some nonsense about jenric and other tories aren't traitors and they shouldn't be given 0.84

01:08:51.760 second chances and all this nonsense flipping mental people yeah one of the one of the thing

01:08:56.520 that reform tards do when they try and accuse restore and rupert lowe of being like some sort 0.95

01:09:04.340 of tory plant it's like oh take a look in the mirror bros oh it's restore which is some sort 0.97

01:09:14.500 of Tory plant, is it? Yeah, right. Yeah, sure. It's not reformed. It's literally got the

01:09:22.840 likes of Braverman and Nadim Swahari, that fella, and Robert Jenrick. Yeah, sure. It's

01:09:30.200 not reformed at the Tory 2.0, the Teal Tories. It's not reformed in that. It's restore. Sure 0.97

01:09:36.460 it is. Sure it is. You retards. You pathetic retards. Right. Luke again. Next one says,

01:09:42.920 the only way I could see proportional representation working for you guys is if you had mandatory

01:09:48.200 voting like we have in Australia. Maybe I'm not for mandatory voting. I'm not for it.

01:09:54.280 No. If I want to not vote, I should absolutely have the right to not vote. Mandatory voting,

01:10:00.420 what do you mean? Isn't that some sort of tyranny via democracy? It's not even proper

01:10:09.940 a real democracy is it it's all a bit of a stitch up ultimately in the final reckoning isn't it

01:10:14.100 you're going to be forced to do what you're going to find me or put me in prison if i don't vote

01:10:19.420 no no no i reserve the right to not vote if i don't want to vote that's my feeling that's my 0.80

01:10:24.180 feeling on it okay the final one here pig dog says these reform voters do not understand the

01:10:31.660 level of treachery and incalculable damage that has been done by these ex-tories yeah

01:10:37.900 Someone like Swearer Brevard and Robert Jemmick

01:10:39.660 Should be put on trial for their crimes

01:10:41.080 Against the people and the nation

01:10:42.360 Yeah

01:10:42.640 Enemies of the state

01:10:44.320 Absolutely

01:10:45.260 Yeah

01:10:45.700 Then you put

01:10:48.240 We don't have enough space

01:10:49.640 For all the traitors out there

01:10:50.740 Yeah 0.65

01:10:50.940 And one last rumble rant

01:10:54.020 I'll read this one

01:10:54.820 And then I'll move on

01:10:55.600 Even if more tick in

01:10:56.500 Because they could just keep ticking in

01:10:58.100 So last one for today 1.00

01:11:09.820 Yeah, I saw that last week, yeah.

01:11:11.860 At or in the direction of police.

01:11:17.800 By this standard,

01:11:19.020 10,000 people in France

01:11:20.500 should be jailed for an average of 150 years.

01:11:22.840 Yeah, right, good point, yeah.

01:11:25.360 What a crazy thing that is.

01:11:26.680 You get actual rapists

01:11:28.500 that get off without a custodial sentence

01:11:30.680 sometimes, don't you, in this country?

01:14:13.600 Megam0, don't know how to pronounce that.

01:14:48.140 You may as well not bother with that because this is coming for you there. Globalism, leftism,

01:14:56.440 wokeism, whatever you want to call it, all these things. Anti-whitism is coming for you there.

01:15:21.080 politically

01:15:22.820 for your

01:15:30.060 go back to France brother

01:15:36.440 Kipper 388 says

01:16:26.400 I was lying about going to Italy.

01:16:28.400 I went to my real ancestral homeland, Mexico.

01:16:31.400 For anyone who doesn't know what the hell I'm blathering on about,

01:16:34.400 it's all an in-joke.

01:16:36.400 i'm not mexican it's funny though okay thundercook 2028 says can i debate faras on uk on ukraine on

01:16:48.580 your show one day uh not the breakfast show no you know well i say that get in touch with faras

01:16:56.200 um there was always there was always talk of that the bow show would have some sort of phoning

01:17:03.980 an element to it and i'm not completely against it maybe one day we'll sort that out and look

01:17:08.520 into doing that and if we did have it at least to begin with it wouldn't be just a phone in for

01:17:14.780 anyone it would be trusted super fan type people probably gold tier lotus eaters.com gold tier

01:17:22.720 members first and then maybe silver or bronze tier ones and then just maybe people that are

01:17:27.420 super fans showing themselves to be super fans maybe one day we'll start doing something like

01:17:32.000 that we haven't got any imminent plans for it but as for getting for rass on for you to debate him

01:17:37.300 on the breakfast show that's unlikely it won't happen anytime soon but never say never who knows

01:17:43.220 who knows do you follow for us on twitter probably best way to get in touch with him would be

01:18:19.900 amon holmes of the crimes of hugh edwards terrible blooper probably the worst blooper i've done on

01:18:23.760 the whole show ever since then it's been an in joke about amon holmes is guilty of things he

01:18:48.220 either way it's reasonably funny

01:18:50.580 minced goat preserve on friday
