00:00:58.560 while a small while like an hour or whatever anyway all right with all that out of the way

00:01:02.800 that's enough fannying around isn't it that's more than enough faffing for one morning let's

00:01:07.160 just get into it what's the legacy corporate lamestream media banging on about this morning

00:01:10.540 what's that cabal of evil quite frankly evil fleet street editors lying to you about by omission if

00:01:16.400 nothing else this morning all right where's it oh okay so it's burnham and football that's what we

00:01:20.840 They're the two main stories

00:01:21.920 Two stories completely dominating the news cycle

00:01:24.040 Burnham

00:01:24.840 It'll be Andy Bumham's

00:01:27.020 King of the North's first day

00:01:28.240 No Stern and Burnham today

00:01:29.680 Tomorrow we'll get the news

00:01:31.760 Well today we'll get the news

00:01:33.400 But tomorrow morning

00:01:34.080 Tomorrow's Bo Show

00:01:34.860 We'll talk all about what the new government is

00:01:37.260 What he actually plans to do

00:01:38.860 Which he hasn't really told us has he

00:01:40.000 Not in any real detail

00:01:41.020 So Burnham and football

00:01:42.660 So for the football people

00:01:43.640 This is it

00:01:44.620 This is it

00:01:46.240 This is the last time we should be talking about football

00:01:48.760 For at least two years

00:01:50.560 So

00:01:52.360 Just a few moments on it

00:01:55.380 And then we're done

00:01:58.760 And then we're done

00:01:59.400 But it is the second biggest

00:02:00.660 Second biggest story

00:02:03.080 Today so we'll just quickly whip through it

00:02:06.240 There you go Spain won

00:02:07.320 Alright that's it Spain won

00:02:09.260 They won 1-0 in extra time

00:02:11.840 Messi's gutted and Spain are jubilant

00:02:13.960 That's it

00:02:14.380 Oh other than say on Saturday there was that

00:02:17.800 that game where the third or fourth place teams play a game no one cares about it's like a

00:02:23.540 testimonial it's like a it's like a friendly no one cares there's no pressure england v france

00:02:28.620 england won six four that's not penalties that was that was during the game six four we beat

00:02:33.920 france scored six goals past france amazing incredible really good game anyway world cup

00:02:40.720 final the game itself was really quite boring like they nearly always are last world cup wasn't

00:02:44.420 world cup final but nearly all the other world cup finals i can remember before that

00:02:48.360 pretty boring because there's so much at stake both sides are so standoffish they're scared to

00:02:52.420 do anything it's one of those so there you go cover up a little data points to say one donald

00:02:57.860 trump look that's not photoshopped the donald they haven't photoshopped the donald there he

00:03:03.060 was actually there being being it is held in america he got to be the person that walks out

00:03:08.680 with the world cup look there's the world cup there the actual physical trophy of the world cup

00:03:12.900 He gets to walk out and give it to the captain

00:03:15.800 And then they all cheer

00:03:17.100 They raise it in the air and they all cheer

00:03:18.260 And usually Donald Trump or whoever it would be

00:03:21.920 Would usually sort of exit the stage

00:03:25.280 Literally physically exit the stage

00:03:27.680 After they give them the trophy

00:03:29.140 So that all the glory is just with the team

00:03:32.240 But Trump didn't

00:03:33.140 Trump like stood there

00:03:34.080 And even like the FIFA president

00:03:37.220 Was like trying to usher him away

00:03:38.720 But Trump like refused to

00:03:40.700 So he stood there

00:03:41.780 um what was it oh there's a bit of a fight after the final whistle bit of a fight

00:03:49.740 bit of a kerfuffle bit of argy-bargy that's it there was a half-time show with madonna

00:03:55.440 and shakira that's it wayne rooney called the half-time show crap that's basically it that's

00:04:04.260 basically everything that we say awkward moment trump ignores fifa president there's a fifa

00:04:08.600 president trying to usher trump away get away this isn't your moment dude but he just refused

00:04:13.960 to awkward moment trump ignores fifa president's call to leave the stage as he joins spain world

00:04:18.620 cup final trophy lift donald shuffles off his confetti cannons fire so he didn't want to get

00:04:23.940 covered in confetti though okay that really is it there's no more football now for a couple of years

00:04:29.440 at least okay oh one last thing to say that's not even football related do you remember recently

00:04:36.120 In like the last week

00:04:38.200 Or two at most

00:04:39.180 The Donald had

00:04:42.140 Like a diplomatic

00:04:43.140 Issue

00:04:46.500 With Spain

00:04:47.500 Remember that

00:04:48.820 The NATO meeting

00:04:50.060 Like a week or two ago

00:04:50.980 He said

00:04:52.220 We're just going to cut off

00:04:53.000 We the United States

00:04:53.900 We're just going to cut off 1.00

00:04:54.720 All trading with Spain 1.00

00:04:56.480 Just end it 0.98

00:04:57.840 I'm not sure

00:05:00.660 I actually went through

00:05:01.440 With that

00:05:01.740 Or that happened

00:05:02.240 Or anything

00:05:02.560 But

00:05:02.820 So of all countries 0.99

00:05:05.320 Is not particularly welcome

00:05:07.740 In that moment would be Spain

00:05:10.100 I mean there would be other countries as well

00:05:12.340 Wouldn't there but you know Spain

00:05:13.680 So alright that is basically it

00:05:16.460 No more football

00:05:17.180 It's on more of the front pages but we'll go over it

00:05:20.300 Alright the other main story, a real story

00:05:21.960 Burnham's new era of big state

00:05:24.980 Centralised the economy more

00:05:28.440 But also simultaneously

00:05:29.600 Do more devolution

00:05:33.080 Weird

00:05:35.940 Lottery, the National Lottery

00:05:37.960 Thameswater and buses among targets for nationalisation

00:05:41.740 Apparently

00:05:42.200 We still haven't got the details, have we?

00:05:44.840 So today

00:05:45.360 Big day in Whitehall and Westminster, really

00:05:49.140 What will happen is

00:05:51.140 Starmer will come out at some point mid-morning

00:05:53.500 Before midday, I believe

00:05:54.940 At some point

00:05:55.400 He'll come out and he'll do a little speech

00:05:57.240 At that lectern in front of Number 10

00:05:58.920 Saying his final goodbyes

00:06:00.200 probably another list of all the great things he's achieved how he's leaving

00:06:04.280 Britain better and stronger and more prosperous than than it was when he came

00:06:07.640 into power so a few words like that and he'll drive

00:06:12.340 off to the palace Buckingham Palace which is only like a few hundred yards

00:06:15.420 away half a mile away at most drive down there

00:06:18.640 and see the king big fat sausage fingers Charles Saxe-Coburg Gotha

00:06:22.320 and in his resignation as prime minister and then a few minutes later

00:06:27.000 few moments later no sternum burnham and his guy liner and manscara will turn up and he'll go into

00:06:34.600 the palace and make sausage fingers and sausage fingers will ask him to form a new government

00:06:41.960 then andy burnham will that won't take too long 20 minutes half hour whatever usually

00:06:46.760 and he'll leave the palace drive back to number 10 downing street it's only like

00:06:51.400 two minute drive

00:06:53.020 this time in a prime ministerial

00:06:57.600 armoured jag

00:06:58.480 rather than a normal car

00:07:00.460 he's being prime minister now

00:07:02.240 and then he'll

00:07:06.960 the classic thing, they always clap him

00:07:10.080 whoever it is

00:07:10.920 all the staff of number 10

00:07:12.800 will clap him in as he comes in

00:07:15.180 all the paparazzi

00:07:17.280 outside number 10 clicking away

00:07:19.080 Mr Burnham, Mr Burnham, what do you plan to do

00:07:21.220 It'll go in there

00:07:22.880 They'll clap him in

00:07:23.860 He gets the nuclear codes

00:07:26.140 That's one of the very first things

00:07:27.700 Like our nuclear submarines

00:07:30.080 Typhoon submarines with the nukes on them 0.83

00:07:32.360 Gets the codes

00:07:34.760 Or he has to write letters

00:07:36.320 To the captains

00:07:38.760 Or the admirals are they

00:07:40.160 On those nuclear submarines

00:07:42.860 In the event of a nuclear war

00:07:46.600 Say Russia or whoever

00:07:50.100 nuked britain out of the blue

00:07:55.160 the commanders on those nuclear submarines need to know what they're supposed to do in case

00:08:02.680 number 10 and andy burnham is now just glass there's no leadership anymore it just got nuked

00:08:08.500 they need to know what to do without any further orders whether they're to launch back or not

00:08:13.040 okay that's one of the first things a new prime minister always has to do write those letters

00:08:16.840 whether they say and it's secret it's up to the prime minister you can say look if we get nuked

00:08:21.480 don't don't do a retaliatory strike that's not worth it what's the point of that or

00:08:26.520 yes annihilate them start a nuclear winter

00:08:34.520 yeah so they do that then you'll probably get a load of calls from all foreign uh leaders 0.71

00:08:39.400 you know probably the united states france you know germany whatever all of them china

00:08:46.840 And then he'll start picking his cabinet.

00:08:49.460 And they walk into the front of numbers.

00:08:52.460 They don't have to do it this way.

00:08:53.740 But they walk into the front of number 10, one at a time,

00:08:56.340 in front of, like, the banks of paparazzi and reporters.

00:09:00.820 One by one, they walk in so everyone can see who's being picked

00:09:04.240 and, well, who isn't, really.

00:09:07.060 The reporter's shouting,

00:09:09.100 Miss Rayner, Miss Rayner, what job do you expect to get?

00:09:14.240 Mr Streeting, Mr Streeting, what do you...

00:09:16.440 Oh no, he probably won't be there.

00:09:19.880 West Streeting may or may not get any sort of job.

00:09:24.560 We'll see.

00:09:25.360 Quite often they're brought in in sort of order of who's most important.

00:09:29.120 Not always, but usually the first person summoned to number 10

00:09:32.880 will be the Chancellor or the Home Secretary.

00:09:35.820 Anyway, all that's going to play out today.

00:09:37.720 And then Burnham will do a little speech himself

00:09:39.480 telling us for the first time really what he plans to do in government.

00:09:43.140 what a crazy way of doing things right he's actually in power

00:09:50.620 before we get to hear what he wants to do what he's going to do in any detail i mean he's given

00:09:57.420 very very very broad strokes of the brush isn't he but beyond that leaked a few things you know

00:10:05.220 leaked that he wants to entirely scrap the id card digital id card project which is nice that's good

00:10:11.540 I'll take that

00:10:12.260 Beyond that

00:10:16.560 We don't know whether he plans to

00:10:18.800 Really just keep going

00:10:21.160 Almost exactly with Starmer

00:10:22.880 And the manifesto

00:10:23.960 Not that Starmer really followed the manifesto

00:10:26.440 Not that there was much detail in the manifesto in the first place

00:10:28.720 Or whether he's going to do things

00:10:32.420 Massively different

00:10:33.420 One of the big sticking points

00:10:35.020 Everyone's waiting on tenterhooks

00:10:36.680 To hear what he's going to say

00:10:38.040 Is about

00:10:38.780 North Sea oil drilling

00:10:43.220 Drill baby drill

00:10:44.500 Over the last few days

00:10:47.320 I've seen a number of different reports

00:10:49.240 Both ways

00:10:50.300 Saying yeah Burnham plans to drill loads

00:10:52.800 And other reports saying

00:10:55.300 No no he's going to keep to

00:10:56.680 He's going to keep to the

00:10:58.080 Labour manifesto

00:10:59.800 I.e. to not drill in the North Sea

00:11:01.800 Again crazy that this man can get to power

00:11:05.560 And we don't know

00:11:08.780 You know, whether he really will nationalise

00:11:11.080 As this headline says

00:11:12.040 The Lottery, Thames, Water and Buses

00:11:13.820 Whether he really is going to nationalise

00:11:16.260 We've just got to sit there and wait

00:11:17.260 Not a great way of doing things

00:11:20.700 He hasn't got a mandate, has he?

00:11:22.740 There's one of the headlines we'll get to later

00:11:24.020 Messiah without a mandate, yeah

00:11:26.420 Just 20,000, 25,000 people in Makerfield

00:11:31.300 And 300 Labour MPs

00:11:32.700 That's not much of a mandate, is it?

00:11:38.780 99.99999% of the people he now rules

00:11:42.080 had no say in it whatsoever.

00:11:46.740 Okay.

00:11:47.860 Nandy is set to take charge of new super ministry for housing. 0.74

00:11:53.620 Lisa Nandy.

00:11:58.000 Of, was it the Runnymede Trust fame?

00:12:01.460 Her father started the Runnymede Trust.

00:12:05.080 Lisa Nandy, who's sort of completed it. 1.00

00:12:07.920 A lot of these people are idiots, aren't they? 1.00

00:12:09.260 Like Lammy or whatever. 1.00

00:12:10.960 She's one of those. 1.00

00:12:13.420 Or like Angela the Fridge Rayner, Big Bird. 1.00

00:12:15.200 Like, really quite stupid. 1.00

00:12:18.860 Or below-averagely stupid, I would say. 1.00

00:12:21.720 Completely unimpressive as a person and a politician. 1.00

00:12:26.060 And, of course, an arch-globalist, an arch-traitor. 1.00

00:12:31.320 She's set to be put in charge of a new super ministry for housing. 1.00

00:12:34.040 i thought angela the fridge reiner wanted her old housing job back we shall see wonder if there'll 1.00

00:12:41.300 be many upsets in terms of any of the big beasts not being invited back to government any new faces

00:12:48.300 no one's ever really heard of suddenly like in charge of an important department again we just

00:12:53.500 gotta wait and see okay heat pump homes face winter rationing and drive to net zero

00:13:00.520 you've got to be cold in the winter because of net zero really

00:13:06.580 johnson that'll be boris johnson mandarins to blame for boris wave really he says it was it

00:13:16.860 was civil servants in whitehall that made that happen really you're in charge of them though

00:13:23.580 Boris were in charge of them. Trying to pass the buck. This one, this was weird when I

00:13:37.920 read this. I hate this stuff. Look at this complete idiot. I've never heard of her before.

00:15:58.780 Right, the eye paper

00:16:01.600 Burnham pledges breathing room

00:16:03.480 To help UK on cost of living

00:16:04.860 As he moves into number 10

00:16:06.320 Let's read the little blurb

00:16:07.720 It's probably the best you get on Fleet Street on any given day

00:16:09.980 Andy Burnham

00:16:11.700 To promise a fresh package

00:16:14.520 to ease cost of living crisis when he makes his first speech as Prime Minister in Downing Street

00:16:19.560 today. That's one of the things I think will probably characterise his premiership. Much like

00:16:23.860 Starmer, much like a lot of the Prime Ministers we've got, we've had in the last few years,

00:16:30.120 just tinkering around the edges, just moving the deck chairs on the Titanic half a mil.

00:16:38.120 I'm going to help with cost of living by doing tiny little measures, tiny little measures. Oh,

00:16:43.080 we'll make buses free in summer, or something, for kids, something like that, we'll give 0.97

00:16:49.000 you like 120 pounds a year to help with your energy bill, you know, silly, silly little 0.97

00:16:56.420 measures like that, not having the guts, the balls to actually make big movements when 0.97

00:17:04.000 you're in power, when you're in government, just tinker around the edges when everything

00:17:09.160 goes to pot 0.96

00:17:11.260 he's such a weak man 1.00

00:17:16.020 I think he's pretty stupid as well 1.00

00:17:19.040 don't you get that impression with Burnham 1.00

00:17:22.360 he might not be quite as bad

00:17:25.100 as somebody like Lammy 1.00

00:17:26.220 who may be clinically retarded 0.96

00:17:28.380 or Angela the Fridge Rayner 0.92

00:17:34.780 or Lisa Nandy

00:17:36.620 one of those people

00:17:37.620 who seem as I say

00:17:38.740 below average your average person off the street picked at random he's not quite as bad as those

00:17:46.560 but not far off not far off i don't get the feeling of any sort of real

00:17:52.220 gravitas any weight to his intellect do you you sort of get that a bit with someone like i don't

00:17:59.040 know who like somebody like blair or brown maybe you know i don't agree with their politics you

00:18:04.680 know me I don't agree with their politics but you can tell that they've spent a lifetime reading

00:18:11.160 and learning and that they're no fool

00:18:14.640 I don't get that impression with Burnham the thing I think that most characterizes him in my

00:18:24.180 personal opinion is like student activism like a first year undergrad who's learned just enough 0.98

00:18:32.700 words just enough buzzwords to form an argument a stupid backward argument that's what he feels like 0.96

00:18:38.620 to me there's not just enough history to give the impression the veneer of the impression that they 0.99

00:18:51.260 know what they're talking about and any scrutiny of it and it will fall apart like tissue paper

00:18:55.820 Wet tissue paper

00:18:56.660 That's what Burnham seems like to me

00:18:59.080 I feel like his mind is stuck in student politics mode

00:19:04.540 Like he was told when he was a teenager

00:19:08.680 Or when he was in the 20s

00:19:09.800 That Mrs Thatcher was bad

00:19:11.240 Capitalism is bad

00:19:12.880 And that's it

00:19:13.920 He's stuck with that ever since

00:19:15.160 New PM expected to focus on domestic agenda

00:19:21.900 Arguing that political stability will be needed

00:19:24.500 To deliver tangible improvements

00:19:26.680 In people's lives

00:19:27.720 But nothing about migration I think

00:19:30.480 Nothing about the fact that your town or city 1.00

00:19:32.320 Has been colonised by foreign people

00:19:34.220 In the last 5 years, 10 years 1.00

00:19:36.560 Nothing about that

00:19:37.700 Not that tangible improvement to people's lives

00:19:40.500 No, not that Britain

00:19:42.280 Is like one of the rape 0.95

00:19:44.360 Capitals of the world

00:19:45.680 190, 200 odd rapes a day

00:19:48.600 Not that tangible improvement

00:19:50.540 To people's lives, no

00:19:51.480 No

00:19:53.600 I'm just going to nationalise the buses

00:19:58.160 Right, see

00:20:00.540 More safe and legal routes if anything eh Andy

00:20:06.840 Energy bill and bus fare caps among potential new measures

00:20:14.620 Along with cancelling digital ID scheme

00:20:17.240 Well of course I and a lot of us will welcome the cancelling of the digital ID scheme

00:20:22.400 Putting caps on

00:20:24.400 Caps I think doesn't work

00:20:26.020 Doesn't work

00:20:27.120 It never ever works

00:20:30.460 Someone else will have to pay for these things

00:20:33.080 Somewhere else down the line

00:20:34.560 No such thing as a free lunch

00:20:37.560 But that's socialist economic theory for you

00:20:42.860 Divorced from reality

00:20:45.180 And when the treasury no longer

00:20:51.640 can function properly and blame the bond with the evil bond markets

00:20:56.180 MPs who helped put Burnham into number 10

00:21:04.420 braced for cabinet reshuffle as they vire for ministerial jobs

00:21:08.000 there'll be a lot of the big beasts in the Labour Party today, right now

00:21:11.280 sitting there with fingers crossed, everything crossed

00:21:13.700 I hope Andy picks me, I hope Andy picks me

00:21:16.940 he said he would, I wonder if he actually will

00:21:21.640 Some of Andy's people have told some of my people that I might get picked.

00:21:30.200 The Guardian, eww.

00:21:39.720 Eww, The Guardian.

00:21:50.360 The Guardian. 1.00

00:21:51.640 sickening sickening filth subversive completely submersive subversive commie slop 0.97

00:22:00.440 the guardian right there shakira there's shakira doing a dance 0.98

00:22:08.180 time for uk to face up to its challenges said burnham yeah but you're not going to face up

00:22:14.740 The real challenges

00:22:16.300 Oh yeah 1.00

00:22:16.760 A demographic replacement 1.00

00:22:18.640 The sectarian nightmare 0.99

00:22:22.420 Along racial, religious, tribal lines 0.97

00:22:25.980 That challenge 0.99

00:22:29.660 The main challenge

00:22:30.940 The challenge of which everything else is downstream of

00:22:35.200 You won't face up to that

00:22:38.380 More safe and legal routes if anything

00:22:43.960 Why is the NHS under so much pressure

00:22:49.300 Why are the prisons and police

00:22:51.320 Under so much pressure

00:22:52.180 Why are school sizes

00:22:53.560 Classroom sizes gigantic

00:22:55.640 And on and on and on and on

00:22:57.540 Why is there a housing crisis

00:22:59.080 Because you flooded us with millions of new people

00:23:04.540 Somewhere between 10 and 20 million new people

00:23:07.260 Since 1997

00:23:08.160 Will you face up to that challenge 1.00

00:23:11.020 Talk about re-migration 1.00

00:23:12.520 No 0.99

00:23:13.580 Nope

00:23:14.960 Have to be a bigot or a racist 0.72

00:23:18.780 To dream of talking in such a fashion 0.70

00:23:21.380 Andy Burnham's a good boy

00:23:25.320 We won't be talking about that

00:23:29.420 Labour leader to become Prime Minister

00:23:31.700 And begin appointing cabinet today

00:23:33.480 Farage admits fraudster

00:23:36.960 Cockrell paid for filming

00:23:38.400 Until the investigation comes back

00:23:42.640 And it's sort of sure that Farage did anything wrong

00:23:45.720 As much as I'm not a reformer

00:23:48.840 I'm not going to pay much attention to it

00:23:51.640 Apparently that guy, George Cottrell

00:23:53.740 Posh George

00:23:54.500 Not only let Nigel stay at one of his homes one time

00:23:59.320 Or two times, whatever

00:24:00.980 But also paid for some social media filming

00:24:04.020 That was done before the last election

00:24:05.680 So what?

00:24:09.820 So what?

00:24:10.360 And the party

00:24:12.660 Or Nigel said

00:24:13.600 They just said

00:24:16.480 It's totally undeclareable

00:24:18.320 In every single way

00:24:19.280 I'll wait for an investigation to decide that

00:24:24.240 And it just seems like

00:24:25.500 It's just

00:24:26.680 We're not reform here at Lotus Eats

00:24:30.860 Are we? I'm not

00:24:31.660 We're Rupert Lowe

00:24:34.220 But

00:24:36.760 This just seems like sort of 0.98

00:24:40.360 Pathetic attempt to try and ruin him 0.98

00:24:42.300 Alright 1.00

00:24:42.560 Fears of stateless babies

00:24:46.500 Amid surrogacy boom 1.00

00:24:47.900 Why?

00:24:51.180 Why?

00:24:54.540 Never used to suffer from anything like this

00:24:56.980 In the 20th century

00:24:59.800 Never

00:25:00.200 It would have been an insane thing

00:25:02.320 To think that there would be any problem

00:25:04.340 With a large number

00:25:06.340 A relatively large number 1.00

00:25:08.340 Of stateless babies

00:25:09.500 in Britain

00:25:12.360 what

00:25:13.420 what

00:25:14.520 kind of perversion led to that

00:25:17.640 alright the times

00:25:21.640 the venerable times

00:25:22.720 Mariella Frostrop says

00:25:25.680 what not to say to her daughter 1.00

00:25:27.420 don't care

00:25:28.300 don't care

00:25:30.280 Mariella Frostrop

00:25:32.140 ok love

00:25:32.580 defence spending must be British priority

00:25:36.420 says US ambassador

00:25:37.700 At least a little bit more spending

00:25:41.000 But Spain won the World Cup

00:25:43.260 And there's the Donald not off the stage

00:25:45.040 We've done that haven't we

00:25:46.440 Trump booed on football's biggest stage

00:25:50.040 Trump's not particularly in favour with Spanish people is he 0.81

00:25:57.320 Bumham, my 10 year UK plan 1.00

00:26:00.060 Yeah okay

00:26:02.480 Okay

00:26:04.240 10 year plan

00:26:06.240 you sure about that yeah he's not going to be there for 10 years is he

00:26:18.900 labor leader pledges to reduce cost of living by tinkering around the edges trying to effectively 0.99

00:26:25.260 bribe people who have a little bit of money now you'll vote for me yeah pathetic 0.99

00:26:29.800 pathetic the mirror the england boys have come home 1.00

00:26:36.240 The lions have come home. 1.00

00:26:38.860 It's funny, they look like African people or Caribbean people. 1.00

00:26:41.620 They're supposed to be Englishmen, aren't they? 1.00

00:26:47.080 Weird.

00:26:50.000 First day at number 10.

00:26:52.220 Look at him. 0.98

00:26:53.180 Look at this claymation turtle.

00:26:56.120 What a weird...

00:26:57.180 Is it too much to ask for to have politicians that aren't weirdos?

00:27:05.280 Apparently it is.

00:27:06.240 Just at a glance, weirdo

00:27:09.960 Bumming ambition, sorry I misread that

00:27:17.940 Burning ambition 0.95

00:27:19.220 Bumham starts his

00:27:22.180 With cost of living and social care pledge

00:27:24.700 Our 7th Prime Minister in 10 years

00:27:27.400 Says he'll end chaos and bring hope

00:27:29.800 Really? Bring hope?

00:27:31.740 What do you mean? You're not Nelson Mandela mate

00:27:33.700 You're not Obama

00:27:34.880 What do you mean bring hope? 0.99

00:27:36.240 you're not going to talk about how we've been invaded by millions of foreign people 1.00

00:27:40.660 that mean us nothing but harm and our net and our net negative to our economy and the fabric of our 1.00

00:27:49.000 social society are we going to bring hope all right sure you are sure you are the daily express

00:27:54.920 it's a good paper you can read your express now bbc's nikki campbell apologizes for slur

00:28:01.680 I couldn't even be bothered

00:28:02.920 It probably took a two second Google search

00:28:06.720 To find out what slur Nicky Campbell had used

00:28:09.740 Couldn't be bothered

00:28:11.860 Don't care 1.00

00:28:13.880 Look at my darling

00:28:15.280 Look at the state of it

00:28:16.400 You're old love

00:28:17.340 Madge

00:28:19.160 You're knocking 70 love

00:28:21.380 You're 67 years old dearie

00:28:24.720 Stop trying to be hip

00:28:26.800 Stop trying to be cool

00:28:28.200 What are you doing? 1.00

00:28:30.940 You're a nan 1.00

00:28:31.600 stop 1.00

00:28:32.780 it's gross 1.00

00:28:34.200 Madonna

00:28:36.920 you're vaguely hip 40 years ago love 0.96

00:28:42.760 Olukemu Badenoch, the Nigerian woman 0.99

00:28:52.080 the anchor baby 0.57

00:28:53.440 who somehow finds herself leader of the opposition

00:28:55.720 calls for burden on families to be eased

00:28:59.040 and benefits bill cut

00:29:00.360 New Prime Minister has no mandate to raise taxes again

00:29:03.680 Andy Burnham enters Downing Street today

00:29:05.960 Without either a plan for government or a mandate for raising taxes

00:29:09.800 Olukemi Badenok, the Nigerian woman, warned

00:29:11.860 I mean, she's not wrong, he hasn't got a mandate, has he?

00:29:17.540 The Messiah without a mandate

00:29:19.280 Very naughty boy

00:29:21.480 It's naughty to try and rule a people without any sort of mandate, isn't it?

00:29:25.280 That's quite naughty behaviour

00:29:26.560 Okay, the Financial Times

00:29:30.380 Blows to Kiev

00:29:33.280 Yeah, Russia's launched loads more strikes against Ukraine

00:29:36.660 Burnham seeks tight grip on spending

00:29:40.660 With beefed up control centre at number 10

00:29:42.960 See, so

00:29:43.760 I moved a little bit more towards a command economy 1.00

00:29:47.620 Because Reds love that 0.99

00:29:48.500 Socialists love that 0.99

00:29:49.460 That's always their plan

00:29:51.000 Beefed up control centre at number 10

00:29:54.140 Wants to nationalise things

00:29:56.160 Bring more and more things under the purview of the government

00:30:00.980 But also end at the same time more devolution down to the local level

00:30:09.520 Isn't that incoherent?

00:30:14.160 How does that even really make sense?

00:30:16.580 Is that sort of a solid vision?

00:30:22.340 No

00:30:22.900 Again, it's sort of student politics

00:30:25.840 You don't really know what you're doing or talking about, isn't it?

00:30:31.720 You think you do

00:30:32.960 Because you've got Dunning-Kruger effect

00:30:35.020 You think you do

00:30:36.740 When you put it under the tiniest amount of scrutiny

00:30:41.160 You scratch the surface

00:30:43.200 And it's nonsense

00:30:44.660 Or there's just nothing there

00:30:46.160 First year undergrad politics

00:30:49.720 You've convinced yourself you've got all the answers 0.98

00:30:53.280 Because you're young and arrogant 0.87

00:30:54.480 You've done a tiny bit of reading 1.00

00:30:57.280 But actually you don't know your arse from your elbow 0.99

00:30:59.360 Actually 0.99

00:31:00.000 Yeah Andy Burnham, that's Andy Burnham

00:31:02.500 Less reliance on imperial treasury

00:31:06.760 What does that even mean?

00:31:08.660 Pledge to restore faith in government

00:31:10.220 Really?

00:31:14.700 And cabinet name today

00:31:15.980 Andy Burnham's going to restore faith in government

00:31:18.740 That's such a broad thing isn't it?

00:31:21.940 Going to restore faith in government

00:31:23.600 Why how? Because you wear a t-shirt sometimes

00:31:28.720 What do you mean? How?

00:31:34.760 Through the sheer force of Andy Burnham's character and personality

00:31:39.140 The sheer force of his will

00:31:43.260 The iron-like will of Andy Burnham

00:31:47.760 will give people no other option

00:31:51.320 but to regain faith in government.

00:31:56.140 Okay, all right.

00:31:59.820 I wouldn't be surprised if the left of the Labour Party

00:32:02.320 coup him out within a year or before 2029.

00:32:06.300 I wouldn't be surprised.

00:32:07.520 He won't do what they want.

00:32:10.500 It was them that couped him into power, basically, wasn't it?

00:32:14.460 It was them, the left of the Labour Party,

00:32:16.480 MPs that are much harder left than him

00:32:19.300 that forced the issue

00:32:21.920 to get him selected

00:32:23.820 in Makerfield

00:32:25.060 and then

00:32:27.540 coronated him in

00:32:28.820 so that even the Labour membership and the unions

00:32:31.400 don't get a say on it

00:32:32.240 so he's their creature now, that's what they will want

00:32:35.260 that's how they will see it

00:32:36.360 he'll be their creature, he has to do

00:32:39.060 exactly, more or less, exactly what they want

00:32:40.940 he's not going to, because he won't be able to

00:32:43.420 and he actually doesn't see the world the same way that they do he's like a wishy-washy pinko

00:32:51.380 isn't he he's a blairite rightist deviation type dude he won't do what they want a fair amount of

00:32:57.220 the time so it's civil war the way they treated starmer i undermining him and voting against him

00:33:07.360 all the time. Why did Starmer have 18, 20 plus U-turns in government? Because of them. Because

00:33:14.740 they forced him to U-turn. Will they treat Burnham in exactly the same way? Yeah. Almost

00:33:24.620 certainly, I would have thought. He wants to do something that's in our national interest.

00:33:31.100 Let's say the drilling for oil in the North Sea. It's sort of a no-brainer to do that.

00:33:37.360 Why wouldn't we do that?

00:33:39.600 Well, unless you believe the liar, the nonsense hoax that man-made CO2 drives climate change.

00:33:47.580 That 400 parts per million drives climate change of CO2 in the atmosphere.

00:33:53.840 That if Britain drills in the North Sea, all the ice caps will melt.

00:34:00.020 Unless you believe that insane nonsense.

00:34:04.840 Why wouldn't you drill in the North Sea?

00:34:07.360 It's absolutely in our national interest to do that

00:34:11.840 Of course it is

00:34:13.460 So he'll probably want to do that

00:34:17.420 Some of the noises are

00:34:18.340 Even this morning

00:34:19.180 And over the weekend that he wants to do that

00:34:21.040 Will they sort of

00:34:22.040 Because they don't want

00:34:22.740 The left of the Labour Party

00:34:23.560 Don't want him to do that

00:34:24.260 Because they have brought that silly narrative

00:34:26.020 There won't be a world left

00:34:28.960 If we do that

00:34:37.360 The green narrative and agenda

00:34:40.880 Is childlike

00:34:43.040 Isn't it

00:34:44.220 And dangerous

00:34:45.860 Not childlike in sort of

00:34:47.940 Benevolent sort of

00:34:50.420 Cute way of course

00:34:51.700 Childlike in that sort of

00:34:54.640 Backward insane way

00:34:56.200 Makes no sense

00:34:58.440 Doesn't add up

00:35:00.600 You ask one or two

00:35:02.720 Questions and it falls apart

00:35:04.320 Will they prevent Burnham

00:35:06.900 If I'm really doing anything much in government

00:35:09.320 Well, let's hope so

00:35:10.480 We can run the clock out to 29 and get a real government

00:35:55.500 25,000 voters in Makerfield, perhaps

00:35:57.840 As he enters number 10

00:35:59.700 Mail poll reveals he faces legitimacy crisis

00:37:09.880 Burnham becomes PM. Government chaos on North Sea drilling. Yeah, we're not even sure what

00:37:14.140 he exactly will do. He could come out today and say, we're going to drill, baby, drill.

00:37:18.680 Or worse to that effect. Or come out and say, no, it's the wrong thing to do. It'll destroy

00:37:22.820 the planet if we drill any anything at all more or less we've got no idea that's our system

00:40:08.220 In US jails, lawyer claims

00:40:10.680 Yeah, they're in a spot of trouble

00:40:13.380 Again

00:40:15.180 Was it in the BBC as well

00:40:17.400 I think it was in the BBC

00:40:19.380 Yeah so story is

00:40:22.240 They were in America

00:40:24.500 There you go look

00:40:25.920 Tate brothers arrested

00:40:27.480 In US as further UK charges

00:40:31.060 Take total to 59

00:40:32.780 Oof

00:40:34.940 This is the moment

00:40:37.280 Of Mr Tate's arrest 0.68

00:40:39.700 So they're in America

00:40:40.320 They just got out of their car

00:40:41.340 And then cops sweep on them

00:40:43.080 And handcuff them

00:40:44.540 He didn't put up any resist arrest or anything

00:40:47.180 Both of them

00:40:48.120 And yeah they're now under arrest being held in America

00:40:52.160 And they're looking at the talkies of extradition to the UK

00:40:56.120 To face loads of charges

00:40:58.100 Well 59 charges 1.00

00:40:59.280 Andrew more than Tristan

00:41:01.380 But still

00:41:02.320 What are the charges?

00:41:05.320 Pretty bad ones actually

00:41:06.620 Rape 1.00

00:41:09.120 Multiple, multiple counts of that 0.65

00:41:16.180 Human trafficking

00:41:17.620 Child, child pornography

00:41:22.180 Of course the Tate camp will say it's all a stitch up, won't they?

00:41:31.220 Or they do, they do

00:41:32.480 They say just give us our day in court and we'll show it's all just a stitch up

00:41:39.120 talk about this for a moment my cards on the table i think i've made it i think i've said

00:41:43.440 a number of times explicitly i'm not a fan of andrew tate i don't know anything about

00:41:48.460 tristan i've never watched any content of his andrew tate put it this way i've watched

00:41:59.760 i don't know maybe a couple of hours in total of andrew tate content over years five years

00:42:07.800 10 years whatever it is five years probably more like in total a number of clips a few dozen clips

00:42:13.540 maybe more a bit more two or three long form videos a few hours at most so far can I far from

00:42:21.280 it can I say I watch Andrew Tate or follow Andrew Tate or know loads about all his takes

00:42:27.300 but still must have watched maybe two three four hours in total over the years and I would say

00:42:34.820 I agree with maybe 20 30 percent at most 40 percent of his takes

00:42:41.980 sometimes he does a take and I'm like yeah right on yeah you're absolutely right I couldn't disagree

00:42:47.000 with you but half or more than half of the things I've seen him say I'm like that's wrong or just

00:42:55.140 what are you talking about where's that coming from that's sort of mad to me why are you saying

00:42:59.160 that it's not a very good hit ratio for me right if someone if i agree with about maybe 80 percent

00:43:07.200 of someone's takes that's really high i like i like that person 80 a good 20 i don't agree with

00:43:14.380 that's still good in my book that's still good less than half it's not like he's never said

00:43:21.520 anything good or that i agree with you know like someone like um i know maybe um owen jones or um

00:43:30.060 um some of those people off lbc what's james o'brien where it's like it's nothing they say

00:43:35.180 or like one percent under five percent of anything they've ever said i can agree with it's not that

00:43:41.280 he's not that but like a few takes he's done i remember there was one where there was going to

00:43:47.220 be some giant super mosque built in london where the chocodero is or was a super mosque and he was

00:43:53.860 thought that was great and it was brilliant and that's what britain deserves so he converted to 0.78

00:43:57.880 islam okay okay okay andrew you're no friend of mine then you're no friend of britain if you come

00:44:06.880 out with that even ironically even if he's being completely ironic which i don't think he was 0.51

00:44:14.920 sure he wasn't even if he was why do that why are you saying that you want super mosques in

00:44:21.120 britain do you do you when he came out right at the beginning of this persia war and he was in

00:44:26.820 dubai or one of the emirates with a few takes that just wrong just flat out wrong like who told you

00:44:35.760 and you take you know about the world you know about geopolitics loads of things he says about

00:44:40.900 women again maybe 40 30 percent of it i'm like yeah fair enough yeah yeah men don't put up with 0.98

00:44:45.860 a shit test from a woman stuff like that yeah okay be confident in and of yourself as a man 0.98

00:44:51.840 all that sort of thing yeah good great then a whole bunch of other stuff he says like about 1.00

00:44:56.340 women and relationships like dude that's weird that's unhealthy like what's wrong with you

00:45:00.600 what sort of relationship have you got with your mother like what is like are you mad like that's

00:45:07.680 He says some crazy stuff

00:45:11.560 Okay, with all that said

00:45:13.980 I'm not much a fan of Andrew Tate

00:45:16.920 I wouldn't say I hate his guts

00:45:18.620 I'm glad he's in prison 0.99

00:45:19.660 I hope he goes down forever

00:45:20.660 I wouldn't say that

00:45:21.620 I'd say I don't like him

00:45:23.760 If someone said

00:45:25.900 You can go and have a drink and a beer

00:45:27.920 With Andrew Tate for free

00:45:29.240 I'd be like, yeah, no thanks

00:45:31.280 Yeah, pass

00:45:32.980 Thank you

00:45:34.160 That's my feeling on him

00:45:35.820 Okay, alright

00:45:36.380 Now this though

00:45:39.920 They're legal problems

00:45:41.880 That's something different

00:45:42.980 So I've got to try and put aside my

00:45:44.480 My dislike of the Tate brothers

00:45:47.440 Or Andrew Tate anyway

00:45:48.200 Put that to one side

00:45:49.320 Let's talk about the actual legal things 0.71

00:45:50.800 He was all in trouble wasn't he in Romania 1.00

00:45:52.800 He like lives in Romania

00:45:55.460 Or spends a lot of his time in Romania

00:45:56.960 And then they were arrested there

00:45:58.320 And held on remand

00:45:59.220 Or Romania's version of being held on remand

00:46:02.220 Under like these same sort of serious type of charges

00:46:05.680 Like prostitution was it

00:46:08.360 And people trafficking

00:46:09.400 And maybe sexual assault

00:46:10.700 Maybe rape

00:46:11.180 I don't know 1.00

00:46:11.600 Stuff like that

00:46:12.420 And then they were released

00:46:15.360 From being held on remand

00:46:17.960 And were even allowed to travel again

00:46:20.780 But the actual investigation

00:46:22.520 And the cases hasn't ended

00:46:24.500 They may still have questions to answer

00:46:28.840 In Romania

00:46:30.480 Okay

00:46:32.620 Okay

00:46:34.420 again innocent until proven guilty in my book 0.88

00:46:37.600 but now they're in America and it's Britain

00:46:41.320 it's in Great Britain, the CPS, the Crown Prosecution Service

00:46:44.900 that want them

00:46:46.120 59 charges, at least in Andrew Tate's case, 59 charges

00:46:50.620 really, really serious stuff

00:46:52.820 and, well, the Feds

00:46:57.260 in the US have arrested them and they're looking to be extradited

00:47:01.440 To the UK to face

00:47:02.660 Justice

00:47:04.580 And as I said

00:47:06.840 Their team are saying

00:47:08.280 It's all to stitch up

00:47:09.260 Because he says sort of anti-establishment

00:47:12.800 Anti-globalist things 0.71

00:47:14.280 They must destroy him 0.90

00:47:15.560 You're not that important dude 0.99

00:47:17.420 You're not that important

00:47:20.900 Yeah you're an influencer

00:47:22.420 A big influencer

00:47:23.080 One of the biggest influencers in the world you might say

00:47:25.460 Certainly in the manosphere

00:47:26.980 Manosphere

00:47:28.740 uh okay you're an important voice in the world you're not that important

00:47:36.860 not that important that the global cabal need you silenced that's not what's going on here

00:47:46.420 what's going on here is that it seems you do have legitimate questions to answer

00:47:51.400 around sexual assault and prostitution and trafficking and even child pornography

00:47:58.660 according to these this report today doesn't mean you did it i'm not saying you're guilty

00:48:04.740 i'm saying the cps thinks you've got questions to answer

00:48:10.740 so okay there you go all right now back to our poll we asked you today over 1100 votes in

00:48:20.980 looking up towards 1200 are you a fan of andrew tate we gave you yes no and who

00:48:28.660 And the no's have it

00:48:31.200 It's actually quite a stonking win

00:48:32.320 I was surprised it's as strong a win as that

00:48:35.340 I feared I might lose the vote there

00:48:37.000 Because I would be ticking no if I was taking that poll

00:48:38.980 I feared I might lose

00:48:40.960 But no, the glorious band, the chosen female band of brothers

00:48:43.160 Were all on the same page 1.00

00:48:44.560 The no's have it

00:48:45.600 76% if you say no, you're not a fan of Andrew Tate

00:48:48.980 13% yes, said yes

00:48:51.520 And 11% if you said who

00:48:53.580 Okay, good

00:48:58.120 I feared it would be a lot closer than that

00:49:00.820 Or might even lose

00:49:02.080 But no

00:49:03.640 It's a firm, firm win

00:49:05.300 If that was a national referendum

00:49:06.660 You'd claim a mandate for all time

00:49:08.980 On the strength of that, wouldn't you?

00:49:10.480 76% of you

00:49:11.700 Again, knocking up to 1,200 votes

00:49:13.640 Alright

00:49:15.740 There you go

00:49:17.580 Watch your space

00:49:19.460 Again, just like Nigel and his money

00:49:21.360 I'll wait for the proper investigation

00:49:24.580 The proper verdict to come out

00:49:27.700 Before I'll start really pouring school on someone

00:49:31.400 Should be considered innocent until proven guilty

00:49:35.040 I don't know if Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate

00:49:38.360 Has done any of these things

00:49:40.180 I'm not in their inner circle

00:49:43.120 Alright, it's nearly ten to nine

00:49:46.240 Shall we move on?

00:49:47.160 What other stories were there of note?

00:49:53.900 Alright, shall we just move on to the

00:49:55.800 On this day in history

00:49:57.560 There's that fight

00:49:59.020 The Argies were a bit annoyed

00:50:00.720 That they got

00:50:01.500 That they lost

00:50:02.800 Some actual punches were thrown

00:50:07.720 Wasn't that bad

00:50:08.880 Wasn't like a massive fight in baseball

00:50:12.240 When they're actually

00:50:13.960 Really fighting

00:50:15.100 Or in ice hockey

00:50:16.720 And actually knock each other out

00:50:20.200 Wasn't that

00:50:21.220 It was one or two punches thrown

00:50:23.560 Alright on this day in history

00:50:25.240 Should we have a look at that

00:50:25.840 I quite like doing that segment

00:50:26.900 You guys like me doing that segment, I think.

00:50:29.980 On this day, the 20th of July, down through the centuries, what happened of note?

00:50:34.080 All right, we're told that on this day, in 1793, Scottish explorer Alexander McKenzie

00:50:39.040 completes the first European east-to-west crossing of America, north of Mexico.

00:50:44.660 Quite interesting.

00:50:45.540 That's before the Lois and Clark expedition, isn't it?

00:50:50.700 Mildly interesting.

00:50:51.540 I don't know about that particular expedition in a great amount of detail.

00:50:54.420 I've heard about it before but I've not read a book about it or anything

00:50:57.100 So I don't really know any real detail

00:50:58.900 There you go, it's still quite late, right?

00:51:01.180 Well, I consider it quite late

00:51:02.340 The late 18th century, the end of the 18th century

00:51:05.880 Before many people are really going out, heading out California way

00:51:09.820 Oh, we're thinking about heading out California way

00:51:12.420 Quite late

00:51:14.620 You might have thought that was done in the 16th century at some point

00:51:18.520 No, no

00:51:19.660 all right on this day 1921 congresswoman alice mary robertson becomes the first woman to preside

00:51:26.800 over the floor of u.s house representatives don't care okay they do that don't they they do that now

00:51:34.380 they find a really really obscure bit of history the first black woman to do something the first

00:51:39.140 woman to do something no one's ever heard of it before it's crazy obscure and they regurgitate it

00:51:45.060 Like it's history now

00:51:47.100 Well of course it is history

00:51:48.560 But like it's armchair history

00:51:50.900 Well known, it's a thing that everyone should know

00:51:53.140 About history now, no

00:51:54.040 No 0.59

00:51:56.160 Alice Robertson, don't care

00:51:58.660 Not important

00:51:59.740 You would only think that was important

00:52:05.060 If you did have a massive chip on your shoulder 0.99

00:52:06.780 About being a woman 0.65

00:52:07.560 Oh Alice Robertson, the first congresswoman 0.93

00:52:10.040 Is really important, no it isn't, no

00:52:15.060 On this day in 1969, NASA's Apollo 11 lunar module carrying Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin

00:52:20.620 lands on the surface of the moon, if you believe that.

00:52:24.280 I do, I do.

00:52:29.500 Is this just a footprint on an island somewhere, on a remote island somewhere in Alaska,

00:52:34.960 and they've just changed the colouring on the camera?

00:52:38.600 That's actually a footprint somewhere in Alaska?

00:52:42.900 No.

00:52:43.420 Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin land on the surface of the moon

00:52:46.920 Seven hours later, Armstrong becomes the first person to step onto the moon

00:52:50.900 At 56 minutes past 10 Eastern Time

00:52:53.580 And Aldrin joins him short after

00:52:55.560 Michael Collins, that's the astronaut Michael Collins, not the boxer

00:53:00.180 Or the revolutionary hero

00:53:03.960 There's more than one Michael Collins in history

00:53:07.140 It's a common name actually, Michael Collins

00:53:09.600 Michael Collins, not to be confused with Michael Collins or Michael Collins

00:53:12.980 Remains in orbit in the command module

00:53:15.680 And there's the famous footprint

00:53:17.220 One small step for man, one giant leap

00:53:20.860 For mankind, okay, on this day in 1976

00:53:25.120 Viking 1 lands on Mars

00:53:31.680 The first successful Martian landing

00:54:56.220 And you say in 1857

00:55:00.760 St. Jose San Giorgio

00:55:04.760 St. Jose San Giorgio

00:55:08.900 Was beheaded in Tonkin 0.99

00:55:10.800 Prompting the Spanish to invade Vietnam 0.99

00:55:13.220 On behalf of France 0.93

00:55:14.720 And that's interesting

00:55:15.580 The history of Vietnam

00:55:19.900 I'm very, very fascinated in

00:55:21.860 It's one of those things that even as a young kid

00:55:24.640 I was very, very interested in

00:55:26.820 Like World War I, the American Civil War

00:55:30.440 The Napoleonic Wars

00:55:31.800 The campaigns of Alexander

00:55:33.580 The campaigns of Henry V

00:55:35.000 By the time I'm a teenager

00:55:36.300 At one point I was fascinated by Vietnam

00:55:38.720 The American War in Indochina

00:55:41.100 In the 60s and 70s 0.93

00:55:42.660 Fascinated by that

00:55:43.820 Read lots and lots all around it

00:55:45.540 Should really do more content on it

00:55:46.920 In fact, one of my epochs

00:55:48.680 My history theme show

00:55:50.180 On lotusseaters.com

00:55:51.260 O'Day's Epochs

00:55:52.340 Do consider sign up

00:55:53.160 For this £5 a month

00:55:54.020 Bonus team membership

00:55:54.580 I've got one

00:55:55.480 Long form bit of content

00:55:56.620 On there

00:55:57.180 From only about

00:55:58.520 Six months ago

00:55:59.280 Where I talk all about

00:56:00.740 It was one of the types

00:56:02.900 One of the types

00:56:03.600 Sometimes on Epochs

00:56:04.540 It's a broad

00:56:05.420 A broad narrative

00:56:07.180 A story I'm telling

00:56:08.040 Sometimes it's like

00:56:08.660 A really tight thing

00:56:09.440 That only took place

00:56:10.060 Over a few days

00:56:10.640 This one was relatively tight

00:56:11.980 I was just talking about

00:56:13.180 The Navy Seals

00:56:14.740 In Vietnam

00:56:15.740 Just in 1967

00:56:17.100 So I'd read a few essays about that

00:56:21.100 And I thought it was an interesting story

00:56:22.980 But so if you want to know all about the Vietnam War

00:56:26.420 And the American adventure in Vietnam in the 1670s

00:56:29.800 You have to go back, don't you

00:56:31.840 To truly understand it

00:56:33.000 The French in Indochina

00:56:34.600 French Indochina 0.77

00:56:35.680 Eventually you'll end up somewhere here

00:56:39.680 So there was like

00:56:40.740 There was the second opium war going on 0.97

00:56:43.380 That's the British and the French 0.85

00:56:45.680 A little bit of Russia and a little bit of America 1.00

00:56:47.320 Mainly the British and the French

00:56:49.000 Having a war with China

00:56:51.340 The Second Opium War 0.78

00:56:54.180 And at the same time 1.00

00:56:55.340 The French think, oh, maybe we can 1.00

00:56:57.700 Take 1.00

00:56:58.420 What is today

00:57:01.260 Vietnam 0.98

00:57:02.080 It's like Indochina

00:57:05.260 Siam, Siam is sort of broadly

00:57:07.300 Thailand

00:57:08.660 Places that are like 0.98

00:57:11.340 Laos, Laos 1.00

00:57:13.080 Even 0.97

00:57:14.880 Cambodia, and Cambodia, all of that 0.98

00:57:17.780 Cochin China, it was called back then

00:57:21.260 In fact, this is called the Cochin China Campaign

00:57:24.080 It's interesting actually, Global Church History, you characterise it as

00:57:28.140 Spain invaded Vietnam on behalf of France

00:57:31.740 It was both a French and Spanish thing, but it was mainly a French thing

00:57:35.700 As I understand it, I might be wrong

00:57:37.020 As I understand it, it was mainly a French thing

00:57:39.140 They had a few Spanish troops help them

00:57:41.900 Anyway

00:57:43.140 I won't go into silly detail here right now

00:57:45.780 But that kicks off

00:57:47.360 What a

00:57:48.840 100 years odd

00:57:50.560 Of French colonial rule

00:57:52.420 On and off in various ways

00:57:54.120 In French Indochina

00:57:56.880 Which was much more than just Vietnam

00:57:59.580 As I say

00:58:00.540 Big parts of Cambodia

00:58:02.540 Thailand 1.00

00:58:03.920 Tonkin is all at the top 0.97

00:58:06.680 Of Vietnam 0.99

00:58:08.760 Places that don't exist

00:58:11.200 we don't call them that anymore but okay long story should really start if you really want to

00:58:17.040 know all about america and vietnam really want to know should at least start there i would say

01:01:11.860 on the 28th of the 5th, 2022. Thank you. I must admit that's not my quote. I was quoting

01:01:20.100 Cicero. Marcus Tullius Cicero, Tully, to his friends. That's a Cicero quote. See Matt Goodwin?

01:01:29.180 Someone that's actually done some reading can just quote Cicero off the top of their head.

01:01:32.660 They don't have to go and chat GBT and get it wrong. Do some reading, Matt.

01:01:40.880 Dr. Matt Goodwin. Really? Who gave you that PhD, Matt? You don't seem very well read. I don't

01:01:47.840 believe you've read any cicero i don't believe it i've used that quote a number of times actually

01:01:55.740 it's one of my favorite cicero quotes it's a real one matt

01:02:32.340 Quite often with regional accents

01:02:33.880 About often mundane and humorous things

01:02:36.900 And they've put the order of that

01:02:38.940 To Claymation Animals

01:02:40.740 There's one of them

01:03:13.980 Any epochs or shorthand about Chamberlain, good sir?

01:03:21.200 Hmm, I've definitely not done an epochs that concentrates on Chamberlain

01:03:25.080 I have mentioned him in passing a number of times

01:03:27.440 Me and Ed Dutton did a long-form bit of content about Churchill

01:03:30.900 We talk about Chamberlain in passing a bit there

01:03:33.500 But I haven't done anything, I haven't done anything

01:03:35.980 We talk about actually Joseph Chamberlain, not Neville Chamberlain

01:03:39.940 I certainly haven't talked to him about Joseph Chamberlain

01:03:44.220 Maybe I should

01:03:46.560 Enoch Powell wrote a book about him

01:03:48.580 Yeah, Enoch Powell was a prolific writer

01:03:50.600 On top of everything else

01:03:51.420 A great man

01:03:52.580 Very prophetic

01:03:54.940 A great man

01:03:57.160 Very, very young professor

01:03:59.660 The real deal

01:04:00.420 No, I haven't ever really talked about Joseph Chamberlain

01:04:04.700 Perhaps I should

01:04:05.700 Okay, the next one

01:04:08.700 Rodney

01:04:09.580 rod underscore knee says um from my perspective here in new zealand it seems the uk government 0.90

01:04:18.280 is working against the native people of your land yeah you've seemed to have called it correctly

01:04:23.220 yeah very similar thing going on in australia and new zealand as well i would say the way the

01:04:28.760 australian and new zealand government treated you guys under lockdown of the most egregious in the

01:04:35.160 world but no you're quite right rodney rod underscore knee you're quite right it does

01:04:40.260 seem like that doesn't it it seems the uk government is working against the native people

01:04:44.080 of your land yeah yeah it seems like that because they are yeah there's no other way 0.97

01:04:53.100 to interpret it at this point is it is there it's gonna keep flooding you with millions 1.00

01:04:58.960 of foreign people until our demographic is ruined and ultimately leads to our annihilation as a 0.98

01:05:08.660 people yeah i would call that working against the native people yeah that's exactly what i would 1.00

01:05:33.280 them no are they unbiased no way not even close so that's a fair point that is a fair point it

01:05:40.820 could well be that the the tate brothers get their day in court and are completely exonerated 0.96

01:05:45.740 could be okay the next couple are from the same person belgians are evil trust me says cps is 0.98

01:05:54.980 Alison Saunders ordered conviction quotas. 0.82

01:05:59.580 Yeah, yeah, that's insane, isn't it? 0.95

01:06:04.060 That's Soviet.

01:06:05.180 That's Stalinist, really.

01:06:07.720 Stalin would do that.

01:06:08.900 Give me a list of names.

01:06:10.100 I don't care if they're guilty or innocent.

01:06:12.260 There's not enough names on that.

01:06:14.180 Give me another thousand names.

01:06:15.700 Just find the names.

01:06:20.820 That's how Nero behaved.

01:06:22.140 People would come to Nero and say

01:06:25.180 We haven't got enough guilty people

01:06:27.720 And he would say, make them guilty 0.98

01:06:29.700 Alison Saunders ordered conviction quotas

01:06:37.840 Okay, from the same person again

01:07:42.100 good question that's a classic history nerds question in 475 though if i wrote woke up as

01:07:47.300 emperor of rome it's not okay you're in a tough spot that's not a good if i woke up in 14 ad

01:07:56.040 and woke up as roman emperor or 177 ad that would be good that would be cool you'd have options you

01:08:03.480 can play around and do stuff, manipulate the world like some sort of living God, that would

01:08:07.820 be alright. In the year 475, you're staring defeat in the face no matter what you do,

01:08:13.380 aren't you? 475, hmm. What, if you quantum leaped back to 475, but with the brain you've

01:08:24.100 got now, and you had just enough time to do research and development to sort of build

01:08:28.000 canon real quick otherwise that's not going to be fun okay and the last one here um again from 0.53

01:09:00.580 Yeah

01:09:02.440 Deeply concerning

01:09:06.960 Okay that's it

01:09:16.380 You've been the glorious band

01:09:17.300 The chosen for you

01:09:17.940 My band of brothers

01:09:18.980 And sisters

01:09:20.300 Thank you for joining me

01:09:21.740 Without you guys

01:09:22.260 it's not a thing. It just isn't. I hope you've enjoyed it. I hope you can make the best of the

01:09:26.680 day ahead. Carpe diem. Seize the day. Your time is the most valuable thing you will ever have by

01:09:31.740 orders of magnitude. You think bits of gold and gemstones, you own a big house, big property,

01:09:37.660 you think that's valuable? It's of no real value in the end. You can't take it with you.

01:09:44.000 The most valuable thing you have is your time and it's finite. It's later than you think.

01:09:48.800 If you're at liberty today to do something valuable with your time

01:09:52.260 I implore you

01:09:53.300 I implore you, try and make it count

01:09:56.120 Alright, I don't want to get too preachy about it

01:09:58.760 Until tomorrow morning then

01:10:00.220 Take care
