00:01:07.240 let's get on with the show that's what you're here for all right what's in the legacy corporate

00:01:10.540 mainstream media this morning what's the front pages of the uh fleet street the print media

00:01:14.960 talking about in britain today let's have a look all right we've got burnham's 10-year mission

00:01:20.240 andy bumham king of the north no stern and burnham wants 10 years in power

00:01:25.760 Okay bro

00:01:28.680 He's going to need 10 years to

00:01:30.780 Fulfill his mission

00:01:32.320 To destabilise and undermine our society

00:01:35.900 Needs 10 years for that

00:01:37.080 Okay

00:01:37.820 Might be nice to call a general election straight away then

00:01:41.180 To actually have a mandate

00:01:42.440 Maybe

00:01:43.580 Alright

00:01:45.300 And princess in peaks condition

00:01:48.700 Princess of Wales

00:01:50.560 Is in peak condition now

00:01:52.760 Because she got over cancer

00:01:53.660 She beat cancer

00:01:54.660 And she's climbed three of the highest peaks in Britain

00:01:57.880 So princess in peaks condition

00:01:59.800 We'll get to it, we'll get to it

00:02:01.180 A little bit of sport today, I'm afraid, can't avoid it

00:02:03.400 A little bit of football, it is in the front pages

00:02:05.080 I'll keep it to an absolute minimum

00:02:06.100 You know me, I try to be a river to my people

00:02:08.860 I know you guys don't care about it

00:02:10.040 It's also Wimbledon, Wimbledon starts today

00:02:11.660 So again, very very briefly, just because it's on the front pages

00:02:14.380 Alright, let's start then, let's get straight into it

00:02:17.080 The Financial Times

00:02:17.880 Golf strikes, US and Iran in peril truce

00:02:24.660 again so if you remember they signed that memorandum of understanding which gave themselves

00:02:31.940 60 days to come to full-blown proper proper peace deal

00:02:38.260 well over the weekend last few days uh iran and the us exchanged strikes again

00:02:45.380 so iran fired things at u.s bases in kuwait and bahrain apparently none of them hit any of the

00:02:55.440 targets no one was killed and nothing was damaged like the drones or missiles or whatever were shot

00:03:00.360 out of the sky before they hit anything nonetheless the americans say they did the

00:03:05.160 iranians did that and then the americans hit back on targets inside southern iran

00:03:10.320 you know with fast jets and stuff but then they've both decided to stop that or iran also

00:03:18.700 fired something or other a cargo ship in the straits of hormuz

00:03:22.540 according according to reports i wasn't there i haven't seen any of this with my own two

00:03:28.180 eyeballs lotus eaters has not verified i'm just telling you what's in the news in fact

00:03:34.620 should we have a before we go on should we have a quick look at that a touch more detail

00:03:38.520 let's have a look yeah look um u.s says it has agreed with iran to stand down after trading

00:03:46.240 strikes reports say just a quick update i think a lot of people a lot of people are getting um

00:03:53.740 like burnt out with the iran thing they don't seem to care a great deal at this point i mean

00:04:01.060 as oil let's have a look at oil actually west texas just shy of 70 dollars a barrel 69.6 dollars a

00:04:09.380 barrel rent rent crude down 72 dollars and lower significantly or well certainly lower than it was

00:04:20.780 at the start of the war all right uh the us and iran have agreed to stand down following an exchange

00:04:29.020 strikes over the past few days media reports say citing a u.s official it comes after several

00:04:33.260 attacks in and around the straits of hormuz culminating both nations accusing each other

00:04:37.500 of violating the ceasefire isn't that the story of the last at least the latter part of this war

00:04:43.580 both sides accusing each other of violating their ceasefire

00:04:49.260 how many times have we had that play out now quite a few isn't it

00:04:51.740 Quite a few

00:04:55.800 But Iran hasn't just walked away from the negotiating table entirely

00:04:59.840 Nor has the US

00:05:01.120 Okay

00:05:04.600 It goes on to say basically what I already told you

00:05:09.280 Over the weekend the US retaliated with a series of strikes on Iran

00:05:14.220 Hitting multiple targets in what the US Central Command, CENTCOM

00:05:17.780 called a direct response to the quote continued aggression against commercial shipping there you

00:05:23.660 go all right that's that's sort of the update on that the 60-day thing is still ongoing about two

00:05:31.200 weeks into it now they exchanged fire or i suppose the other element to it is hezbollah and israel

00:05:39.480 like hezbollah said they're just not going to stop you know it's part of iran's one of iran's

00:05:46.360 red lines in the sand is that they're going to need Israel to stop attacking Hezbollah

00:05:51.220 in order for Israel to stop attacking Hezbollah. Even the hope, the outside scant hope of that

00:05:58.240 happening means that Hezbollah has to stop attacking Israel. Because whenever Hezbollah 0.98

00:06:05.540 attack Israel, Israel are going to respond. The leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group

00:06:13.560 has rejected the agreement and accused the beirut government of undermining lebanon lebanon

00:06:18.800 sovereignty also due to ongoing fighting between israel forces and the iranian backed hezbollah

00:06:23.800 in southern lebanon that's ceasefire also looked shaky so yet on sunday yesterday two days after

00:06:32.100 the agreement was signed uh the israeli army said it had struck a 200 meter long tunnel used by

00:06:37.760 hezbollah in southern lebanon which you said contained hundreds of weapons so basically

00:06:41.300 the us and iran need israel hezbollah to stop fighting each other and neither of those two

00:06:47.040 parties are prepared to do that it seems at this point in time okay all right that's where we are

00:06:59.460 with that can anyone stop either hezbollah or israel doing within reason whatever they like

00:07:08.900 Or whenever they like

00:07:09.660 Can Tehran or Washington do that?

00:07:15.300 Not very likely is it

00:07:16.500 Alright, let's move on

00:07:18.120 There was that giant earthquake in Venezuela as well

00:07:21.740 We'll talk about that in a bit

00:07:22.860 Burnham sets out a 10 year mission

00:07:25.480 To raise living standards nationwide

00:07:28.900 Okay, what's his plan?

00:07:31.000 So one thing I'll say about this is that he's set to do a speech

00:07:33.840 His first big sort of keynote speech all about policy today

00:07:36.800 so everything that's being reported about today is we expect burnham to say it's thought that

00:07:42.060 mr burnham will say xyz he hasn't said it yet he's going to today so probably tomorrow it'll

00:07:49.860 be all over the front pages again another burnham day of what he actually said so yeah again this

00:07:56.480 morning it's just this is what we think this is what has been leaked policy pitched by a pm in

00:08:02.440 waiting to happen later today echoes of starmer and johnson bid to balance uh northern emphasis

00:08:10.300 echoes of starmer and johnson is just like you know when a leader comes into power they promise

00:08:16.120 the earth don't they i am going to do xyz it's going to be all singing all dancing

00:08:21.400 and everything's going to be better it's a new dawn

00:08:23.740 And then they get into power

00:08:30.700 And their own party and quangos

00:08:32.360 And the markets don't behave exactly how they want them

00:08:34.780 And need them to

00:08:35.500 Yeah so part of Burnham's

00:08:38.960 Idea is more devolution

00:08:40.920 Even more devolution

00:08:43.360 Taking more and more powers away from Westminster

00:08:46.300 And putting them in the hands of local authorities

00:08:49.460 And according to Burnham

00:08:54.360 What Burnham's expected to say

00:08:56.420 His Manchester model

00:08:57.680 That's better for the country

00:09:00.860 They'll be able to cut

00:09:02.540 Welfare spending

00:09:04.840 More easily that way

00:09:06.160 You sure about that?

00:09:11.940 You sure about that?

00:09:14.420 And in loads of different ways

00:09:16.120 It'll just be better

00:09:17.200 A better way of

00:09:18.060 better form of governance according to no stern and burnham

00:09:21.420 hasn't worked so so it hasn't worked very well so far has it the devolution experiment ever

00:09:29.140 since the blair years i wouldn't say

00:09:32.400 in both britain we've reversed nearly all probably all devolution it just makes us weaker

00:09:40.360 simply makes us weaker in my opinion all right what else have we got here

00:09:47.240 The Toregraph, the Daily Telegraph

00:09:49.860 Oh, as I say, Wimbledon starts today

00:09:54.220 There's that British ace 0.99

00:09:56.580 Emma Raducanu

00:09:58.960 Sorry, Raducanu

00:10:00.200 I always say Raducanu, don't I?

00:10:01.640 He was a football player from the 90s, early 2000s

00:10:03.840 Raducanu

00:10:04.540 The half Chinese, half Romanian, Canadian-born girl

00:10:08.900 That is apparently British now 0.73

00:10:10.340 And she's a bit pretty 1.00

00:10:12.560 So they always often put her on the front pages of the paper 0.99

00:10:15.320 Or in the paper

00:10:15.840 she's actually quite um she's a really average player well she's not even going to be in

00:10:20.860 wimbledon because she's injured she's got a stress fracture there you go i'll play through the pain

00:10:25.560 that's out of date all the other uh all the other papers are saying no she's she's out she's just

00:10:30.440 injured she's not going to do it at all all right bum ham give me 10 years to fix britain yeah right

00:10:36.620 bro sure incoming prime minister sets out his stall to boost economy through devolution to me

00:10:44.640 That feels like a contradiction

00:10:45.740 I'm going to boost economy through devolution

00:10:48.480 Really?

00:10:52.040 Really?

00:10:53.920 Apparently there's no real talk of

00:10:55.320 Sort of cutting taxes for the high street and things

00:10:58.000 If anything there's all sorts of talk of

00:10:59.900 Taxing the middle classes more 1.00

00:11:02.100 People that might own small businesses 1.00

00:11:05.040 Type of people

00:11:05.880 Tax them more if anything

00:11:07.300 You're going to boost the economy 1.00

00:11:09.620 You're going to talk about remigration 1.00

00:11:11.500 You're going to get rid of the 10 million plus people here 1.00

00:11:13.640 That are a sponge on our society 1.00

00:11:15.240 No

00:11:15.580 I'm not going to boost the economy that way

00:11:18.480 Oh

00:11:18.820 Oh, okay

00:11:20.520 They're going to radically cut taxes

00:11:25.600 And spending

00:11:26.360 Of course not

00:11:30.180 He's a leftist

00:11:31.520 Ben Stokes, tiny bit more sport

00:11:33.660 I'll keep it very minimal

00:11:34.800 Ben Stokes, who was until fairly recently

00:11:37.080 The captain of the England cricket team

00:11:39.720 He's not resigned

00:11:42.400 He's retired from the sport

00:11:43.580 He says, mid-game as well

00:11:45.460 That's weird, never heard of that before in my life

00:11:47.760 He had an innings

00:11:49.860 Got out

00:11:50.840 And then while the match was still going on, announced his retirement

00:11:53.600 Okay, that's all I'll say

00:11:55.600 Trump fears new PM

00:11:57.440 Will fall short on defence

00:11:59.240 Yeah

00:11:59.520 Trump's obviously been briefed about no Stern and Burnham

00:12:03.300 That he's just a Keir 2.0

00:12:05.760 Just the same man

00:12:07.460 As Keir Starmer, basically

00:12:08.820 Perhaps with slightly more

00:12:13.480 charisma and but slightly more to the left but all intents and purposes as far as someone like

00:12:19.160 the donald is concerned it's like the same guy

00:12:21.420 and burnham was already signaled hasn't he that he's not going to spend tons more on defense if

00:12:29.880 any more at all the government finally came to the conclusion that although the army desperately

00:12:34.340 needs absolute minimum something like or a navy needs something like 18 billion he's like no we'll

00:12:39.100 Gave you 13.5 billion

00:12:40.680 Bumham has already said

00:12:43.380 Yeah we're going to stick with that

00:12:44.680 That's good

00:12:45.460 Stand with that

00:12:46.460 So that doesn't make the White House happy does it

00:12:50.680 Yeah the few things

00:12:53.840 A few comments Trump has made about Burnham

00:12:56.140 Are like

00:12:56.960 Things like

00:12:58.140 Isn't he just the mayor of some city

00:13:00.360 Something like that

00:13:01.020 Like quite very

00:13:01.700 Well I say quite very dismissive

00:13:03.220 Of him

00:13:03.980 He's just the mayor of some city somewhere right

00:13:05.700 Who is he

00:13:09.100 who is he um sort of a sort of a comment almost 20 000 from foreign criminals avoid deportation

00:13:18.140 okay okay

00:13:23.180 this argument that labor is actually based in some way because the immigration figures came

00:13:28.460 down slightly from the peak of the boris wave of the rishi years they're somehow based no

00:13:35.100 Nope

00:13:36.920 That was always a pretty subversive take

00:13:40.500 In my opinion

00:13:41.180 That was always bananas

00:13:45.860 Of course not

00:13:47.000 Of course not

00:13:48.340 There we go

00:13:51.540 Shabana Mahmood

00:13:52.500 Shabana Mahmood

00:13:56.520 A cuckoo in the nest 1.00

00:14:04.080 Let's 20,000 criminals avoid deportation 1.00

00:14:09.520 Talking about foreign criminals

00:14:14.500 One bit that's in the news, some news today

00:14:17.800 Well, not really in the corporate mainstream media news very much

00:14:21.940 Certainly not front and centre

00:14:23.320 But people are concerned about

00:14:27.120 Is this story, a classic case of

00:14:29.340 The rest of the world is interested in a certain story

00:14:32.020 But the legacy corporate mainstream media

00:14:33.840 Try and either completely ignore it

00:14:36.020 Or report it

00:14:37.080 And then try and memory hold it

00:14:38.940 As quickly as humanly possible

00:14:40.440 Man charged with rape and murder

00:14:45.240 After girl's death

00:15:11.780 I'm not just being flippant

00:15:12.440 For the sake of it

00:15:12.980 We'll get to that

00:15:13.380 That's on the front pages

00:15:14.300 We'll get to it

00:15:17.540 We'll get to it

00:15:29.940 Right

00:15:31.260 Okay

00:15:34.020 Is there anything more barbaric than that

00:15:37.400 Other than multiple two year olds

00:15:39.200 Or it being a one year old

00:15:41.880 Is there anything

00:15:42.540 Is there anything more barbaric than that 1.00

00:15:44.120 What was this Congolese French person 1.00

00:15:47.540 Doing here

00:15:49.660 And if I saw one report

00:15:54.880 Hopefully I'm not getting this wrong

00:16:41.940 And that yacht, and what Jeffrey Epstein actually was

00:16:44.560 His giant blackmailing machine

00:16:46.300 Don't mention that, yeah, got it, cool

00:16:47.580 a daily mail pure subversive filth globalist filth trying to pretend it's something other 0.88

00:17:05.100 than that there's that raducanu who's injured heartbreak for injured emma as she pulls out 0.99

00:17:15.540 wimbledon okay she's never going to do very well in it because she's not that good at tennis 0.96

00:17:22.980 that's too harsh i mean she's good enough to uh be placed in it to even be able to enter it

00:17:28.500 she wouldn't win it you know nowhere near she's slightly pretty so all right messiah without a

00:17:35.620 mandate remember that's andy burnham isn't it because he wore sandals that one time and someone

00:17:41.380 yelled at him you're not the messiah he's now the messiah without a mandate that's his name now

00:17:47.940 tax raids on middle classes in burnham's 10-year plan would be pm to unveil left-wing mission

00:17:53.700 well that is a left-wing mission isn't it

00:17:58.180 to destroy rich people and then once they're all destroyed or have fled

00:18:04.740 you then move on the eye of sauron no stone and burnham's eye of sauron moves on to middle class 0.97

00:18:09.860 people and once they're destroyed it will be working class people that have anything and then 0.95

00:18:16.580 then well then you'll be working in a you'll be living in a workers utopia at that point 0.98

00:18:21.380 once everyone has nothing that's utopia isn't it

00:18:29.540 the means of production are in the hands of the workers except it isn't and it never is ever

00:18:39.860 tax raids on middle classes, yeah of course, of course

00:18:43.860 any middle class Labour voters

00:18:47.860 well done, well done, then a lot of them are

00:18:51.860 self-loathing aren't they, a chip on their shoulder, oh no I'm slightly middle class and I get to go

00:18:55.860 on holiday 3 or 4 times a year, oh no, I won't actually give up any of my

00:18:59.860 money though, I'll just virtue signal

00:19:03.860 by voting Labour

00:19:07.860 Alright, The Guardian

00:19:09.980 The Guardian

00:19:15.740 Are you kidding me?

00:19:18.820 Is this a joke?

00:19:19.660 Is this some sort of bad joke?

00:19:21.840 The Guardian

00:19:22.500 Okay

00:19:27.440 Ben Stokes retired from cricket

00:19:29.160 Alright

00:19:29.440 Alarm raised over growing role of private equity firms

00:19:33.560 Exclusive

00:19:34.660 Governments 24.4 billion pounds

00:19:37.840 contract part of financial pandemic

00:19:40.240 Burnham set to promise growth in all postcodes

00:19:47.220 US and Iran strikes threatened fragile peace

00:19:52.640 The times, the venerable times

00:19:55.360 Wimbledon begins today

00:19:56.500 They've got an essential guide for you

00:19:58.480 If you've never heard of tennis

00:20:00.220 Anyone for tennis?

00:20:04.040 Public to decide asylum appeals

00:20:06.240 As Mahmood Jettison's judges

00:20:08.060 Yeah this is

00:20:08.540 I mean

00:20:09.920 So it's not set to come in until the end of the year

00:20:13.840 So hopefully Andy Burnham will come in

00:20:16.260 And change this

00:20:16.940 Whether we will or not

00:20:17.660 God knows

00:20:18.140 But the Home Secretary

00:20:19.520 The Cooker in the Ness

00:20:20.180 The fifth columnist

00:20:21.240 Home Secretary we've got

00:20:23.520 Shamana Mahmood

00:20:24.360 Says that the appeals system

00:20:27.840 For failed asylum seekers

00:20:29.140 So you get told

00:20:29.980 No your asylum claim has failed

00:20:32.040 You can appeal it

00:20:33.380 There's an appeals board

00:20:34.960 Type of appeals board 1.00

00:20:36.080 She wants to overhaul that 0.99

00:20:37.840 So instead of actual judges

00:20:39.520 It'll be done by basically normal people 1.00

00:20:41.540 She's trying to recruit hundreds of normal people 1.00

00:20:43.860 Is that completely insane 0.95

00:20:47.560 Or is there actually

00:20:49.340 Some sort of method to the madness of that

00:20:52.380 Well a lot of local magistrates

00:20:55.400 Are normal people

00:20:56.360 They're not necessarily people that have been

00:20:58.260 Barristers or solicitors

00:20:59.580 And then they've been trained to be a judge

00:21:02.200 A lot of local magistrates

00:21:03.620 Not sort of crown courts

00:21:04.740 But local magistrates are normal people basically volunteers

00:21:07.300 There's an argument to be made

00:21:11.820 You know, because some people

00:21:12.720 Some judges that have spent a lifetime in the law

00:21:15.520 Make terrible decisions, don't they?

00:21:18.040 Absolutely insane decisions

00:21:19.460 Like letting convicted rapists leave the court

00:21:22.980 Without a custodial sentence and things

00:21:24.860 Whether the asylum appeals body 0.94

00:21:31.820 Would be better or worse served 0.99

00:21:33.900 By essentially normal people staffing it

00:21:36.740 I don't know, it depends what the people are like, doesn't it? 0.98

00:21:40.400 Depends if they've got like tribal

00:21:43.580 Ethnic and religious allegiances of their own 0.86

00:21:46.880 If they bring that to the table or not, doesn't it?

00:21:53.240 How they're selected will be the key to it all, won't it?

00:21:56.120 Like a jury, like a jury trial

00:21:57.560 Well, often the key to a jury trial

00:22:00.860 Is in the jury selection, isn't it?

00:22:03.900 We'll see, on the face of it, it doesn't sound good

00:22:07.200 It doesn't bode well

00:22:08.120 But who knows

00:22:10.800 Alright

00:22:12.640 King Bumham

00:22:15.600 I want mayors to help cut benefits bills

00:22:18.240 Bill, will they? 0.99

00:22:19.620 No

00:22:19.760 PM in waiting will vow to lift Britain back up

00:22:23.360 Really?

00:22:24.640 Really?

00:22:25.340 By not addressing the demographic decline

00:22:27.120 And our open borders though

00:22:28.240 By not really, well not at all 0.99

00:22:33.380 Addressing the slippery slope we're on towards a sectarian nightmare 1.00

00:22:38.000 We're going to lift Britain back up 1.00

00:22:40.140 By devolving more power away from Westminster

00:22:43.340 How does that make sense?

00:22:48.060 Church told its ableism is harmful to meek priests

00:22:52.320 Okay 0.91

00:22:56.760 The first paragraph of this is

00:23:01.240 Sort of bizarre

00:23:03.640 Tells you where we are as a country, as a society

00:23:06.520 The pressure on vicars to be loud and proud

00:23:12.100 Are you not meek?

00:23:17.220 Didn't Jesus Christ say that the meek will inherit the earth?

00:23:19.920 The pressure on vicars to be loud and proud 1.00

00:23:21.960 Is making life difficult for neurodivergent priests

00:23:26.880 The Church of England has been told

00:23:31.240 Neurodivergent

00:23:33.360 Priests 0.97

00:23:34.820 Sometimes it does feel like living in

00:23:45.360 Idiocracy, the film Idiocracy

00:23:47.020 Where everything is bizarre

00:23:50.760 And absurd

00:23:52.980 Okay, the eye paper

00:23:55.900 Let's just read this

00:23:57.080 Vernon vows to lift Britain back up with biggest ever power transfer

00:24:01.260 Making us weaker, in my opinion

00:24:04.240 In key leadership speech today

00:24:07.380 He warns it will take 10 years to reset UK

00:24:10.260 Yeah, right, they all say that

00:24:11.520 That's sort of the holy grail of power, isn't it?

00:24:15.560 To become, first of all, to become Prime Minister

00:24:17.440 The slippery pole to the very, very top

00:24:21.060 And then stay there for something like 10 years

00:24:23.420 Tony Blair, Maggie Thatcher style

00:24:25.200 that's what they all want isn't it so that your name is really cemented into the annals of history

00:24:31.000 will burnham survive the next general election doubt it highly doubt it all right it says

00:24:41.240 labour front runner to replace starmer says there must be a change in how britain is governed

00:24:47.320 and wants power pushed out of of whitehall to regions and local communities i mean obviously

00:24:54.800 I rail against Whitehall all the time, don't I?

00:24:57.700 The civil service, it's not that they're perfect, far from it.

00:25:01.200 But will it be better if even less, even less competent civil servants run things?

00:25:11.020 Burnham sets out vision of good growth in every postcode,

00:25:14.840 driven by his Manchester model,

00:25:17.720 and reforms in education and business partnership that focus on British jobs.

00:25:21.460 we'll see we'll see about that business partnerships

00:25:27.540 is there any better example of a marriage made in hell than public private partnerships 0.89

00:25:36.360 the worst of both worlds in my opinion mayors may be given power to reduce benefits dependence

00:25:46.420 and cut surging welfare bill right but will they okay you can give them the power

00:25:51.120 but then once they've got the power will they do that though or will there not be like councils

00:25:58.200 and mayors that are just like no my tribal allegiance is to my people whatever they be

00:26:02.680 bangladesh is in tower hamlets or whatever pakistan is in manchester or whatever in birmingham

00:26:08.120 they'll be like all right thanks for giving us all that power yeah we're just going to spend it 0.95

00:26:13.300 on us is ultimately ultimately this isn't our country we don't care if it goes to pot

00:26:22.660 will that dynamic play out or will king bumham the first vision work perfectly

00:26:34.340 don't know poll for the eye paper reveals voters trust him more on economy

00:26:40.180 than starma or farage really really okay don't believe that like how they'll do a poll is 90

00:26:52.160 of parents uh want censorship for their kids for the whole country do they i trust that do i trust

00:26:59.600 that poll okay according to the eye paper he will trust burnham on the economy more than starma or

00:27:06.460 Farage

00:27:07.000 But they want him to deliver on

00:27:10.420 Suggested tax cut

00:27:11.600 And take utilities into public

00:27:14.580 Control

00:27:15.020 They want a return to the 40s

00:27:18.400 Or 70s

00:27:19.600 Of labour nationalising things

00:27:22.040 What happened there

00:27:23.860 Let's see if we can recall

00:27:26.280 What was the ultimate

00:27:27.460 Ultimate results of those

00:27:29.580 The net result of all those things

00:27:30.820 Oh complete disaster basically

00:27:32.780 Complete disaster

00:27:36.460 Look how Attlee

00:27:38.580 When he nationalises like steel

00:27:40.580 And coal

00:27:42.000 The coal bald

00:27:42.960 The steel bald

00:27:44.160 All those sorts of things

00:27:45.420 We haven't got much of

00:27:48.680 Or any of a coal or steel industry anymore

00:27:50.660 Have we?

00:27:54.360 We'll nationalise the railways

00:27:56.240 Aren't our railways

00:27:58.400 A laughing stock around the world?

00:28:04.960 Okay

00:28:05.600 They trust to burn him on the economy

00:28:08.360 But they want him to cut taxes

00:28:11.160 That's exactly what he won't do

00:28:16.320 Isn't it?

00:28:20.360 That's the last thing he'll do

00:28:21.980 Because he's tax big, spend big

00:28:25.900 Lefty, classic lefty

00:28:27.780 If you want your taxes to be cut

00:28:30.800 Don't vote for the left

00:28:31.980 almost speechless almost all right the metro

00:28:40.820 what's that what's that gross thing

00:28:52.340 Number 10 1.00

00:28:57.800 A bigger navy

00:28:59.660 We need more drones 1.00

00:29:01.300 All hands on deck

00:29:02.700 Replacement warships are axed from defence plan

00:29:06.200 As tactics evolve

00:29:07.660 Billions to be spent on high tech kit 0.73

00:29:09.800 To combat Moscow threat

00:29:11.460 Apparently what they're saying

00:29:13.180 According to this report

00:29:14.180 Is that our frigates

00:29:17.520 The Type 42 or 45 are they?

00:29:20.060 Frigates, they cost a billion pounds a piece

00:29:22.100 and then of course constant refurbishment and maintenance and everything but a billion pound a

00:29:29.380 pop and for what they are they're good they're cutting edge what they are but that's too

00:29:36.180 expensive that's too expensive um so they're gonna make budget versions they're gonna make

00:29:43.780 much much much cheaper versions i suppose a bit like it's not a great parallel but

00:29:50.580 america made the f-22 raptor didn't they like the best fighters best best fast check going

00:29:56.740 they were just insanely expensive weren't they like a billion dollars each or something i don't

00:30:01.680 know maybe not quite that much but they're insanely expensive so they sort of made the f-35

00:30:06.240 it's like a cheaper version of it so they can have hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them

00:30:12.420 or thousands of them instead of just a few dozen anyway all right so apparently we're going to make

00:30:17.260 Design and make budget versions of them

00:30:19.540 And the money that's saved

00:30:22.000 Spends more on drones and drone technology

00:30:24.160 Because that's the future according to them

00:30:25.960 Might not necessarily be insane

00:30:29.400 That might prove to be a sort of strategic

00:30:31.600 Like correct call

00:30:34.000 Maybe, who knows

00:30:35.380 Because they were saying

00:30:37.000 We need to focus on Russia

00:30:39.480 We need to gear everything that our military is 0.95

00:30:42.120 Army and Navy and Air Force 0.98

00:30:43.220 Gear it all towards a possible conflict with Russia 0.98

00:30:47.260 bit of a throwback isn't it if he stopped poking Putin in the eye with a dirty stick

00:30:53.800 constantly then why would we need to worry about Russia particularly

00:30:59.140 there you go for some reason the blob the establishment the deep state

00:31:05.800 is hell-bent on antagonizing Russia because he's got his eyes set on conquering Belarus and Poland

00:31:13.780 and estonia latvia lithuania maybe finland has he though has he 0.54

00:31:20.300 because you're saying that is just true we must constantly antagonize russia and gear all of our

00:31:30.220 military towards possibly going to war with them all based on the assumption that putin is like

00:31:36.240 stalin or khrushchev and is just waiting to invade eastern and central europe and and the

00:31:42.580 baltic states yeah but is he though but is that right though is that true is that a correct

00:31:47.860 assessment because if it's not if it's not it might be i don't know what's in putin's mind

00:31:54.500 but if it's not then don't all the other calculations downstream of that look like nonsense

00:32:00.020 okay the star here we go the princess princess in peaks condition she's both in peak condition

00:32:13.180 having beaten cancer and she's in the peaks so there's a thing called the um the three peak

00:32:20.220 challenge i think it is where the idea is within 24 hours you go to snowdon in wales north wales

00:32:27.020 the biggest mountain in Wales you climb that you walk up that and then you drive quickly to

00:32:33.580 Scarfell Pike in northern England the highest peak in England climb that and then you drive to

00:32:40.380 Scotland you drive to Ben Nevis the Ben and walk up that you do all of that within 24 hours

00:32:47.480 and you've completed the three-peak challenge

00:32:50.660 all right and uh catherine middleton princess of wales to be queen of england

00:32:58.580 does she look radiant even at the top of she's at the top of ben there the ben

00:33:03.380 at the top of ben nevis it's windswept and rainy but still she's looking radiant

00:33:09.420 this is quite literally the sun and quite literally put like an angelic halo around her

00:33:17.640 royal highness kate completes three peaks challenge to help hospitals where she was

00:33:24.800 treated for cancer and explore life beyond diagnosis so she did it for charity to raise

00:33:29.420 money for charity like literally glowing with some sort of like a divine radiance

00:33:36.840 all righty all righty a little bit of football i'll keep it to uh i'll keep it to an absolute

00:33:45.880 minimum because i know the glorious band the chosen for you don't care about a sports ball

00:33:48.600 three lines do do do come on and do the congo

00:33:53.720 for anyone who might not know i don't know if black lace is global there was a song from the

00:34:01.720 80s by a band called black lace and it's called come on come on and do the conga

00:34:06.920 yeah anyone who's british will know this

00:34:10.320 You form a conga line

00:34:13.560 You put your hands on the hips of the person in front

00:34:15.840 Someone behind you puts their hands on your hips

00:34:17.800 And you form a long train of people

00:34:19.520 And you dance around the dance floor

00:34:21.400 At a wedding or a birthday bash or whatever

00:34:23.520 And the song goes

00:34:26.180 Come on and do the conga

00:34:28.200 You form a conga line

00:34:29.280 Okay

00:34:30.660 Many foreign people might not know that

00:34:32.720 Might not have heard of that

00:34:33.540 Everyone in Britain will be aware of that I'm sure

00:34:35.460 Come on and do the conga though

00:34:39.700 you see the clever wordplay clever very clever there uh because we're gonna play congo in the

00:34:47.560 in the sports ball at the world cup england won their last game 2-0 and in the next round

00:34:54.340 we're gonna play congo that's it that's it i'll move on that's all it is come on and do the congo

00:35:37.580 well not the exact same one

00:35:39.500 that the sun have added to it

00:35:41.320 isn't it funny

00:35:47.760 isn't it really really clever

00:35:49.060 what they've done there

00:35:50.040 okay

00:35:51.340 okay 0.99

00:35:52.740 is this not treating you like you're a buffoon 0.99

00:35:57.640 could report on anything 0.98

00:36:00.760 and in any way they like

00:36:02.760 and they're choosing to be sort of, I was going to say lowbrow.

00:36:11.740 It's not exactly lowbrow, is it?

00:36:15.000 Just be as vapid as possible.

00:36:17.940 How can we dial up how vapid we are?

00:36:22.180 How hollow, how sort of paper thin we are?

00:36:29.800 Don't be serious.

00:36:31.080 Don't use it.

00:36:31.720 No gravity.

00:36:32.760 To it

00:36:33.280 Don't talk about the invasion

00:36:37.000 That we're being invaded

00:36:38.780 Or have been invaded

00:36:39.680 Don't talk about the endless crimes

00:36:41.920 Going on against us

00:36:43.060 And our demographic decline

00:36:44.120 And what would need to be done

00:36:46.340 Don't talk about any of that

00:36:47.640 Do a black lace pun about football

00:36:51.180 Okay

00:36:53.460 Okay

00:36:54.920 The Daily Express

00:36:58.160 Or

00:36:58.520 It's a good paper

00:37:00.820 You can read your Daily Express now

00:37:03.560 There's the Princess of Wales

00:37:06.020 At the top of Ben Nevis again

00:37:07.520 They've got a slightly different story here

00:37:09.260 Failing NHS Trust blew fortune 1.00

00:37:11.620 Defending right of transmedic 0.99

00:37:14.340 To share female nurses changing room 0.95

00:37:16.120 Maddening 1.00

00:37:17.980 Is the quote

00:37:18.560 A peer

00:37:21.000 A female peer 1.00

00:37:22.820 Described it as maddening 0.99

00:37:24.620 That £1.25 million was a waste of taxpayers money

00:37:28.120 Where 1.00

00:37:28.920 There was a male to female transgender person

00:37:32.280 Working in, where was it?

00:37:33.760 It was in Durham, County Durham

00:37:35.020 Up north

00:37:36.320 A man 0.99

00:37:39.440 Who wanted to use 1.00

00:37:42.320 The female changing rooms 1.00

00:37:44.000 Nurses female changing rooms

00:37:45.940 And

00:37:47.720 The NHS themselves

00:37:49.860 Spent £1.25 million

00:37:51.300 Trying to make that happen

00:37:58.920 that obviously to say that money could have should have been spent on health care for people

00:38:05.940 that are unwell shouldn't it have been yeah what a disgrace all right

00:38:13.940 that tea's done i'll move up to my backup water people the other day saying why are you drinking

00:38:19.920 water out of a mug or a cup rather than a glass like what a barbaric thing that is

00:38:24.600 um fair point i suppose but not the end of the world doesn't really matter does it

00:38:33.560 i just got the logo on it so

00:38:39.160 buy these mugs if you want off the merch store all right they're the front pages there you go

00:38:44.520 that's today's news should we have a look at our poll today we usually have a quick look at our

00:38:49.240 poll at this point of the show don't we harry can you bring that up for me what did we do what did

00:38:54.280 we say right we asked you guys over a thousand votes in here we asked you guys is devolving

00:39:00.320 power away from Westminster in Britain's interest I made it clear didn't I on the show today that I

00:39:06.000 think no and the no's have it 66 just ticked down from 67 66% of you say no and 34% if you say yes

00:39:15.600 so not an absolute overwhelming stonking win but a win nonetheless if that was a national

00:39:20.980 referendum you would claim a mandate for all time off the back of that wouldn't you two to one

00:39:25.680 34% of you though say yes very very different idea of what makes a strong country then I suppose

00:39:37.060 what else can I say so the city has just ticked up to 67% 67% of you well done that's the correct

00:39:44.820 answer in my opinion all right all right let's have a look at what else have we got in uh stories

00:39:54.680 of note before we move on to the history section the rumble ramps and the super chats we've got

00:40:00.480 what was there oh i thought this was interesting there you go pakistan launches oh the old

00:40:07.560 headline said, Pakistan launches deadly strikes along Afghan border, Pakistani strikes kill

00:40:15.860 dozens in Afghanistan, so this is one of those things in the world that's going on in the world

00:40:21.740 that largely gets ignored or overlooked, actually is of reasonable import as far as I'm concerned,

00:40:29.880 the war between Afghanistan and Pakistan, of course they share a big long border, you might

00:40:35.480 think oh pakistan's sort of a firmly staunchly islamic country and the taliban in afghanistan

00:40:41.540 are sort of you know hyper islamic in various ways surely they're like uh obvious brothers

00:40:48.960 in arms obviously they would they would work together and pull in the same direction against 0.86

00:40:53.760 their myriad enemies in the world nope they hate each other they absolutely despise each other at

00:41:00.560 the end of last year or towards the end of last year they were doing all sorts of strikes against

00:41:04.020 each other both accusing the other side of being the aggressor and things

00:41:09.940 that pakistan will strike because pakistan is much stronger

00:41:14.660 bigger population got industry got nuclear bombs if you believe that 0.89

00:41:19.700 and uh they're much much more sophisticated bigger military um sometimes pakistan will

00:41:26.980 launch something into afghanistan and do some damage and when afghanistan say this unprovoked

00:41:32.180 aggression will not stand man and all sorts of stuff like that and pakistan's like no no you 0.91

00:41:36.020 you the afghanis you're training terrorists and sending them into pakistan and blowing stuff up 0.78

00:41:40.820 so we're responding to that and afghanistan's saying no no you started it if that's happening 0.99

00:41:45.860 at all it's not even happening but if it is happening it's not us you know sort of it in

00:41:51.380 a nutshell basically anyway they've uh had a truce for the last few months a few months they've

00:41:57.620 stopped attacking each other but it started again at the weekend

00:42:02.820 there you go it's saying at least 100 people have been killed or wounded including civilians

00:42:08.180 the taliban said pakistan's information minister said 29 militants were killed in strikes

00:42:17.380 so you go i just think it's worth remembering that there is that war going on as well

00:42:21.220 okay

00:42:24.720 a lot of it's about bum ham

00:42:28.340 his double chins

00:42:31.100 his moobs and his guy liner 0.75

00:42:33.580 his man scara he wears

00:42:36.220 he goes jogging a lot though don't you know

00:42:39.960 yeah right

00:42:41.920 that's not the cheekbones and jawline of a man

00:42:45.820 that does cardio regularly

00:42:47.200 believe me

00:42:49.000 You know, the Venezuela thing

00:42:52.280 A few thousand, at least

00:42:54.520 A few thousand are dead

00:42:56.660 Loads, loads more wounded

00:42:58.860 And homeless

00:42:59.720 And when stuff like this happens

00:43:02.400 You've got a few days

00:43:03.820 To try and rescue people that might be stuck in

00:43:06.520 A pocket

00:43:07.520 Underneath a building

00:43:11.440 But you die through lack of water

00:43:14.220 Quite quickly, two, three days

00:43:16.160 A human has got

00:43:17.480 don't have water within about three days you die it's kind of simple as that so

00:43:23.620 they might be able to have pulled out a few people a small number of people but three four five six

00:43:32.480 days go by a week goes by there will not be any survivors basically unless there's like the odd

00:43:37.820 case where someone is trapped in under a building and there's like somehow a trickle of water near

00:43:43.080 them from a burst pipe and they're able to get a bit of liquid and they can survive for longer but

00:43:47.240 Other than

00:43:49.060 Outlier cases like that

00:43:51.820 Four or five days go by

00:43:53.840 That's it, you won't get any more survivors really

00:43:56.900 Okay, and it happened on Wednesday

00:43:59.700 So

00:44:00.420 We're already, it's sort of in that place

00:44:03.560 That window

00:44:05.380 Yeah, but Sky decides to go with this as their top story

00:44:09.280 Number of killed in Venezuela earthquakes nears 1500

00:44:13.020 As time runs out to find survivors

00:44:15.820 rim horrible isn't it um look there we go uk to replace fleet of destroyers with

00:44:23.900 quote budget warships great great

00:44:28.140 okay prince harry let's not even talk about prince harry don't care about prince harry

00:44:36.200 and his his obnoxious wife and the fallout he's had with his own father and brother

00:44:41.640 I really don't care 0.85

00:44:43.240 Alright

00:44:43.640 Oh this was one thing I'll quickly talk about

00:44:45.940 Did we talk about it on the Beau show?

00:44:47.580 Sometimes I forget what I've talked about on the Beau show

00:44:51.480 And what I've talked about on the state of politics

00:44:53.360 But there was this guy

00:44:55.980 Geoffrey

00:44:56.520 What was his name?

00:44:57.120 Geoffrey

00:44:57.640 Donaldson

00:44:59.980 Was the head of the DUP

00:45:01.740 The Unionists in Northern Ireland

00:45:03.840 And he was convicted of multiple counts of sexual assault

00:45:09.660 He was convicted last week of 18 sexual offences

00:45:12.960 Including one count of rape against two women when they were children

00:45:16.420 He's convicted of that

00:45:19.580 He hasn't had his actual sentence yet

00:45:20.900 But he was convicted of that

00:45:21.760 And this story just says that

00:45:23.280 Of course, being Northern Irish Unionist

00:45:25.620 He would be very, very, very staunchly

00:45:27.960 I mean, Protestant 0.84

00:45:29.240 Staunch 0.88

00:45:30.660 Christian

00:45:32.680 And it was saying that

00:45:35.560 He described homosexuality as sinful

00:45:39.760 But at the same time, literally like the same time

00:45:44.160 Or within a week or something 0.99

00:45:45.360 He went to like a gay massage parlour 1.00

00:45:48.120 Okay 0.99

00:45:52.860 The BBC Northern Ireland Spotlight documentary

00:45:56.100 Due to air tonight will reveal how Donaldson

00:45:58.660 Was observed by two former policemen

00:46:01.260 Entering Chariot's sauna

00:46:03.160 Near the Houses of Parliament in 2006 0.97

00:46:05.620 Which apparently is a gay sauna 1.00

00:46:08.380 Okay 0.99

00:46:12.820 Alright

00:46:14.420 Let's do on this day in history shall we

00:46:19.120 I quite like doing that

00:46:24.040 You like doing that

00:46:24.620 It's already quarter two

00:46:25.340 Shall we have a look down through the centuries

00:46:26.900 On this day in history

00:46:28.640 What happened of note

00:46:29.420 Have a quick look

00:46:31.480 June the 29th

00:46:32.820 What have we got?

00:46:34.420 Oh, Globe Theatre Fire.

00:46:35.860 Yeah, so on this day in 1613,

00:46:39.220 Shakespeare's Globe Theatre on the South Bank in London

00:46:43.840 burns down during a performance of Henry VIII,

00:46:46.740 which is one of Shakespeare's last plays.

00:46:48.860 And I remember when the Globe Theatre was rebuilt.

00:46:52.440 It was rebuilt, what, in like the 1990s?

00:46:58.040 Was it Zoe Wanamaker or Zoe Wanamaker's father involved in it?

00:47:01.240 Anyway, when I was born and when I was a kid

00:47:03.140 There was no Globe Theatre

00:47:04.260 There wasn't one

00:47:06.000 The one that stands there today is just a replica

00:47:08.820 Apparently it's a very, very authentic replica

00:47:14.020 It was only rebuilt at the end of the 20th century

00:47:18.380 Or was it even finished in the early 21st century?

00:47:20.460 Anyway

00:47:20.680 The original one burnt down in a fire

00:47:23.200 And that happened on this day in 1613

00:47:25.600 Okay

00:47:28.600 on this day in 1900 the imperial chinese court issues what is essentially a declaration of war

00:47:34.500 against foreigners in china blaming them for hostilities and giving license to the boxers

00:47:38.600 for even greater ferocity i've threatened to do a thing all about the boxer rebellion before

00:47:44.040 the boxer rebellion big thing it's like this is the last few years of imperial china

00:47:48.440 there's not long left before the chinese imperial royal family is deposed by nationalists in the

00:47:56.140 first instance the communists didn't get into mao until after world war ii but the uh the

00:48:01.900 nationalists got in long before that um the boxer rebellion a massive thing loads and loads and

00:48:07.300 loads and loads of people died in the boxer rebellion and they were just chinese people

00:48:13.600 that called themselves the boxers something to do with actual queensby rules 50 cuffs uh called

00:48:19.140 themselves the boxers and um one of the things that they said was that exactly as it says there

00:48:25.740 that foreign people are the problem all sorts of people japanese brits germans french portuguese

00:48:35.700 anyone that's foreign americans they're destabilizing and subverting our country 0.81

00:48:42.900 there's an element of it's more there's more than an element of truth to that 0.97

00:48:47.120 at the very end of the 19th century early 20th century china was in

00:48:52.620 real danger of just being broken up and just just broken up there won't be one massive country of

00:48:59.860 china which would be broken up in taken into all the other more powerful countries mainly the west

00:49:06.920 and japan would break it up and um have it as their colonies like big chunks of africa like 0.50

00:49:13.240 the race for africa will be a race for china anyway boxers said uh we're not going to have that

00:49:18.180 And one of the first things we'll do 0.99

00:49:19.960 Is physically hunt down any foreigner and murder them 1.00

00:49:24.160 Which they did do, attempt to do 0.99

00:49:34.740 Based on this day in 1939

00:49:37.020 Ford introduces the revolutionary Ford Ferguson 9N tractor

00:49:41.500 Incorporating Harry Ferguson's three-point hitch system

00:49:44.380 Don't know anything about that

00:49:45.420 I don't know about the history of tractors, I'm afraid

00:49:47.600 Or the technical side of tractors

00:49:50.320 That's a funny little factoid for them to include here

00:49:53.500 I couldn't tell you any more detail about that

00:49:55.420 Other than apparently that happened

00:49:57.080 Okay

00:49:58.440 On this day in 1941

00:50:00.100 6,000 Jews are murdered in a pogrom in Bucharest, Romania

00:50:03.680 That's a shame

00:50:04.700 On this day in 1964

00:50:06.600 Civil Rights Act 1964

00:50:08.220 Passes the US Senate

00:50:09.940 After 600 working day filibuster

00:50:12.660 By southern senators

00:50:14.660 Yeah, quite a lot of problems in the United States

00:50:17.420 You could argue and some do

00:50:19.280 Stem from the Civil Rights Act

00:50:21.280 On this day in 1966

00:50:22.600 US planes bomb North Vietnam's capital

00:50:25.640 Hanoi and the port city of

00:50:27.460 Hai Phong

00:50:28.080 For the first time in the Vietnam War 0.94

00:50:32.100 I mean that's very close to the beginning

00:50:33.580 1966

00:50:34.880 That's right near the beginning of the Vietnam War

00:50:36.940 The formal part of it anyway

00:50:38.820 And yeah as I understand it

00:50:41.380 They bombed Hanoi badly in that

00:50:43.720 Not just a few bombs scattered

00:50:45.760 But like

00:50:47.420 Kind of flattened it, or at least over the coming months.

00:50:52.280 Really sort of raised Hanoi. 0.64

00:50:56.860 It only galvanised the communists, really.

00:51:01.800 Made the guerrilla war more intense, if anything.

00:51:06.620 Okay, on this day, 1994, U.S. reopens Guantanamo Naval Base to process refugees.

00:51:13.740 You know, Gitmo Bay.

00:51:14.540 Of course we all know that after 9-11 in 2001

00:51:18.540 It was used to house a lot of alleged terrorists

00:51:24.260 Special renditions, all that sort of thing

00:51:27.000 Things you might not be able to get away with

00:51:28.960 On the mainland of the United States

00:51:30.500 Because of a little thing called the Bill of Rights

00:51:32.580 And the Constitution 1.00

00:51:33.540 Well, if you just do it on foreign soil somewhere

00:51:39.720 Like Guantanamo Bay on Cuba

00:51:42.120 It's on Cuba if you don't know

00:51:43.240 Maybe you can just do

00:51:45.240 Things there

00:51:48.060 That the Constitution

00:51:50.320 Wouldn't allow

00:51:51.060 Alright

00:51:51.500 Let's have a look at our Rumble Rants and Super Chats

00:51:55.800 Let me do this with my mic so I can see

00:51:57.900 The left hand side of my screen for the Rumble Rants

00:51:59.740 We do the Rumble Rants first, is Global Church History

00:52:01.700 Going to be in at number one

00:52:02.580 And he is, okay

00:52:05.140 It's a good day

00:52:06.180 Global Church History usually gives us a couple of fact words

00:52:09.800 We've got here

00:52:11.140 On this day in 66 AD 1.00

00:52:14.160 The Persians and their Avar allies 1.00

00:52:16.700 Besieged Constantinople 1.00

00:52:18.400 Alright yeah so 0.82

00:52:20.520 626 AD

00:52:22.920 So

00:52:23.380 That's just before the 1.00

00:52:26.700 Islamic 1.00

00:52:27.280 So Muhammad 0.95

00:52:28.420 That's during the age of Muhammad himself 1.00

00:52:30.780 But the Islamic hordes are still in Arabia 1.00

00:52:34.300 They haven't pushed up as far as

00:52:36.720 Modern day Turkey

00:52:39.200 Anatolia, Constantinople

00:52:40.840 the bosphorus and all that so this is pre that these will be persians and avars yeah right

00:52:47.260 so but the walls of theodosius were already built they were built in like the fifth century weren't

00:52:52.060 they the walls of theodosius almost impenetrable not quite in the end ultimately but for a thousand

00:53:00.100 years were impenetrable so the persians and the avars failed to do that and the other one

00:53:08.460 Global church history gives us says

00:53:10.020 And on this day in 1644

00:53:12.460 King Charles the Martyr

00:53:14.320 Won the battle of

00:53:16.040 Cro-Preddy Bridge

00:53:17.420 Oh King Charles

00:53:19.440 Charles I, Charles Stewart

00:53:21.120 You called him King Charles the Martyr

00:53:23.260 King Charles I, yeah if I recall

00:53:26.200 Gosh

00:53:26.640 There's the big famous battles aren't there

00:53:29.760 Of the civil war, the English civil war

00:53:32.340 But if you actually look at a list of all of them

00:53:34.260 There's loads, isn't that the one

00:53:36.580 i think that's the one where king charles had made his wartime capital in oxford because the

00:53:43.580 parliament controlled london so he made a secondary capital in oxford which actually

00:53:48.560 the scheme of things isn't very far from london um they tried to capture him so william waller

00:53:55.060 tried to capture him at oxford and failed if that battle had gone differently perhaps the civil war

00:54:00.620 would have ended a lot sooner and there would have been less problems in general but

00:54:05.520 The Royalists won that one

00:54:07.980 Yeah, yeah, won the battle of it

00:54:10.960 Yeah

00:54:11.140 Okay, there we go

00:54:13.040 At some point

00:54:13.660 Once I've finished

00:54:15.060 Once I do Henry VIII

00:54:16.560 And get on to all the Tudor successors 0.97

00:54:19.640 And then the Stuarts

00:54:20.700 Eventually

00:54:22.160 Hopefully later this year I suppose

00:54:23.920 Perhaps early next year at the latest

00:54:25.580 We'll start talking all about the Civil War 1.00

00:54:27.700 And I plan to do that

00:54:28.860 In lots and lots and lots of detail

00:54:30.500 Silly detail 0.74

00:54:31.160 There's a few things on Epochs I've done in silly detail 0.60

00:54:33.520 Like the life and career of

00:54:35.520 julius caesar one about henry the fifth one about napoleon one about the voyage of magellan

00:54:41.340 decided to do it in granular detail almost as much as i possibly can i think i want to do that

00:54:46.800 about charles charles the first and oliver cronwell and the civil war period i think that's

00:54:52.420 what i might do i make it a 10 20 30 40 part thing i think that's what i'm gonna do it's worth

00:54:59.200 it i think okay thanks global church history all right the next one gwff said says

00:55:05.300 ladies and gentlemen in the blue corner hailing from every oh ladies and gentlemen boys and

00:55:10.640 girls children of all ages in the blue corner hailing from every nation and century the number

00:55:17.880 one undisputed heavyweight champion of faith and history of the world global church history history

00:55:26.320 yeah first name global christian name global first middle name church surname history

00:55:34.100 okay great thanks gwff jeffrey farno says hello bo happy monday oh happy monday to you

00:55:45.040 i'm not going to start singing a happy monday song come on there's enough of singing for one

00:55:50.260 day where do you stand on the michael jackson debate oh do you think he did it or do you think

00:55:58.420 he was set up. Hmm. I think he did it. Maybe not everything he's accused of, but had this

00:56:07.280 out with Conor, Conor Tomlinson once. Well, a little bit anyway. Conor Tomlinson insists

00:56:12.220 that Michael Jackson didn't do anything wrong and he was all set up and stuff. When you

00:56:17.900 look at the details, remember, I'm old enough to have lived through this stuff in real time.

00:56:21.020 When you look at the details

00:56:22.800 At the very least

00:56:26.340 You can say it's weird and suspicious

00:56:28.300 At the very least

00:56:28.880 Because there was that first kid in the 90s

00:56:30.720 Was it Jordan something

00:56:31.580 Jordan Chandler Bing

00:56:33.780 Not Bing

00:56:34.680 Jordan Chandler

00:56:35.740 You know

00:56:39.100 Maybe

00:56:39.640 It's weird

00:56:40.220 It's certainly weird

00:56:41.020 And then

00:56:42.380 But the other one

00:56:43.200 The second one

00:56:44.040 That he went on trial for

00:56:44.920 And was found not guilty

00:56:46.220 Gavin something

00:56:48.420 Gavin Avizo

00:56:49.600 If you look at the actual details of that

00:56:52.760 What came out in court

00:56:54.180 Really

00:56:56.720 Look at it, read it

00:56:57.460 Why would you say

00:57:01.020 There's nothing there

00:57:02.040 Why would you say it's a set up

00:57:03.800 They seemed to have been in a relationship

00:57:08.460 Whether it was fully consummated

00:57:10.660 Or not

00:57:11.880 Kevin Avizo says it was

00:57:13.360 He was like 13, he's not like a little kid

00:57:15.040 He's not like 7, he's like 13

00:57:16.880 And he said yeah

00:57:18.740 we were we were in a relationship a sexual relationship yeah and there's loads loads

00:57:26.740 and loads of other evidence largely circumstantial but still evidence that they were together

00:57:34.340 all right he was found innocent in that trial

00:57:38.660 but there's just loads of loads of other evidence just like

00:57:41.300 loads of the bashing like michael jackson just admit to stuff like you know like sharing his

00:57:46.260 bed with boys it's like no don't be ignorant there's nothing there's nothing weird about that

00:57:51.360 um it's the it's the best thing you can do to share your bed with someone yeah but why boys

00:57:56.720 though why pre-pubescent or just pubescent boys are you doing that with you're not sharing your

00:58:02.700 bed with a 60 60 year old tramp are you michael who knows who knows i suspect there's no smoke

00:58:14.240 without firing that with michael jackson but who knows some people a lot of people insist it was 0.93

00:58:23.080 all fake and phony and set up to destroy him it may be it may be i don't know but that my feeling

00:58:29.480 is he's a wrong one on some level but perhaps not all right let's move on luke stewart st luke

00:58:38.800 LukeStreet91 says, G'day Bo, ah, g'day mate, and everyone, g'day Bo and everyone, hope you all

00:58:44.980 had a lovely weekend, you too, dumb question, what's wrong with devolved government, you mean

00:58:52.180 sort of, um, devolved, devolved government, what's wrong with it, you hate, I'm kind of a fan of the 0.91

00:58:57.600 city-state model, left power in, left power in the central government, um, there's a number,

00:59:05.420 There's a number of problems with it. The city-state thing barely worked in the second century BC.

00:59:12.620 You're dealing with a modern state that's larger than one city and a few kilometers around it,

00:59:21.580 then that model doesn't work. Again, it was sort of out-of-date, outmoded in antiquity.

00:59:26.940 there's a number of things wrong with devolved government in my opinion loads and maybe i

00:59:37.100 should make long-form content about it okay it's like a fundamental thing we'd have to spend ages

00:59:44.780 talking about it to give it justice okay next one says again from luke says any word on the

00:59:51.540 scottish stabber haven't heard anything about it for a while now as quickly as he can he sort of

00:59:57.500 disappeared because he was because he was white and you think they'd be parading him around town

01:00:03.100 going yee oh is that the the the white scottish stabber yeah i don't know they've decided haven't

01:00:11.400 they've decided to memory hold that largely as well perhaps if i'm being kind as they need for

01:00:17.760 me to be perhaps perhaps they don't want to prejudice any case against him by rampant um

01:00:23.780 speculation or like like everything else they're just scared of any backlash i would have thought

01:00:29.820 it's probably that they don't want to give anyone any ideas so they'll just memory hold it probably

01:00:36.880 that isn't it we'll see oh we've got a second one from global church history today says uh most

01:00:42.980 Priests I've met

01:00:44.000 Are somewhat

01:00:44.560 On the autistic

01:00:45.660 Spectrum

01:00:46.260 Usually quite

01:00:47.880 Significantly so

01:00:48.900 That's why

01:00:49.680 They catalogue

01:00:50.360 So many bugs

01:00:51.280 In the 19th century

01:00:52.460 Pure autism

01:00:53.540 Oh right

01:00:53.920 Okay yeah

01:00:54.320 Quite often you get

01:00:55.060 Sort of a priest

01:00:55.800 Scientist 0.77

01:00:56.560 In like the

01:00:57.780 17th, 18th

01:00:58.760 19th century

01:00:59.420 Don't you

01:00:59.740 Yeah that's quite right

01:01:00.380 Yeah

01:01:00.960 The one or two

01:01:01.800 Priests or vicars

01:01:02.840 Anglican vicars

01:01:03.760 I've met

01:01:04.240 And never spoke to

01:01:05.140 Have been weirdos

01:01:06.440 Yeah

01:01:06.760 You say autism 0.87

01:01:08.540 I'll just say weirdos 0.87

01:01:09.800 Yeah

01:01:10.200 Odd that isn't it

01:01:12.980 It's just my lived experience

01:01:16.000 Okay, Luke again says

01:01:19.540 I beem loud

01:01:23.320 If you've misspelled something

01:01:25.940 I beem loud

01:01:27.860 And proud minister

01:01:30.780 Is causing half of problems in the church 0.99

01:01:33.220 You know the neurodivergent priest

01:01:35.700 They follow the word of the bible

01:01:37.960 And the current ministers we have

01:01:39.780 Okay just

01:01:43.340 Maybe you're supposed to put

01:01:45.140 I blame loud and proud ministers

01:01:47.340 For causing half the problems the church have these days

01:01:50.180 Yeah I mean

01:01:50.740 It's just completely infected isn't it

01:01:53.140 By the woke mind virus

01:01:55.180 And that you'll get 1.00

01:01:57.940 Female priests 0.97

01:01:59.420 Wearing rainbow coloured things 0.99

01:02:01.760 And holding up a sign saying we're all Muslim

01:02:03.780 Yeah 0.97

01:02:09.020 Come and invite an Eid celebration

01:02:12.980 In their cathedral

01:02:14.140 Yeah

01:02:15.020 Weird

01:02:16.780 Right Fortien Barber

01:02:19.560 Next to a Fortien Barber

01:02:20.880 You say

01:02:21.480 Morning sir you alright

01:02:22.540 I'm alright thanks

01:02:23.180 Hope you're alright

01:02:23.780 You put

01:02:24.580 Max was definitely the best part

01:02:26.280 Of the Austrian go yesterday

01:02:29.260 You must be talking about

01:02:30.660 Max Verstappen

01:02:31.660 At the Austrian Grand Prix

01:02:33.360 Which

01:02:34.920 Jules Russell for Mercedes won didn't he

01:02:38.320 It should be funny if he managed to win the title this year

01:02:41.740 Hope you have a good week ahead

01:02:43.160 Thank you sir

01:02:43.720 Yeah I think one of the mercs are going to win it

01:02:46.500 Aren't they

01:02:46.940 Probably

01:02:47.700 Probably Antonelli

01:02:49.960 Okay it would be interesting though

01:02:52.180 I've had enough of Max

01:02:53.520 I've got Max

01:02:54.160 What's the word

01:02:56.700 When you're just sick of them

01:02:59.840 Like I'm sick of Schumacher winning everything

01:03:02.480 Sick of Lewis winning everything

01:03:04.000 I'm sick of Max winning everything

01:03:05.620 When you're sick of Vettel winning everything

01:03:07.440 I'd like to see someone else with it

01:03:09.300 Okay

01:03:09.720 14 Barber says

01:03:11.300 I don't really want mayors and devolutions

01:03:13.460 But I'm actually up for Devon and Cornwall being

01:03:16.480 Being a desperate country

01:03:19.560 Probably is that

01:03:20.420 Probably meant separate country

01:03:22.200 But you've put being a desperate country

01:03:23.800 From the UK at the moment 1.00

01:03:25.180 Bring the based in

01:03:26.600 And let all the lefties go 0.94

01:03:27.940 To the UK

01:03:29.720 Right make a 0.63

01:03:30.500 Make a based

01:03:31.560 Cessation thing in

01:03:33.880 In Devon and Cornwall

01:03:34.960 i'm a cornish man actually i know my dna came back i was more cornish than anything else by

01:03:41.160 quite a long way so um yeah all right the next whole few are luke again i'll read them out in

01:03:49.400 one go if you like because it's already gone nine you've said to be honest most of the destruction

01:03:54.240 done to manufacturing steelworks and the like is because of free trade the hell can be complete

01:04:02.720 against countries that use child labor and no environmental laws i mean that's a part of it

01:04:09.060 isn't it yeah like globalization again globalization which is much much much much much much much

01:04:13.700 much cheaper to import manufactured goods from somewhere in the world where it costs pennies on

01:04:18.780 the pound to make rather than make it here true but that's all it's all part of it isn't it

01:04:27.440 that we knew that in the 40s 50s 60s and 70s that that's part of it rather than trying to address

01:04:33.680 that do something about it work around it in some ways no just do it just get rid of all of our

01:04:39.380 manufacturing could have been handled a different way could have been you can says wait harry had an

01:04:46.460 argument with James Hewitt. Oh, Harry, Prince Harry. And James Hewitt, because there was

01:04:58.500 a suggestion that Harry's father isn't King Charles III.

01:05:07.480 there's suggestion isn't there

01:05:12.520 that Major Hewitt was a captain Hewitt the polo player gentleman actually bedded Lady Dyer

01:05:25.780 Harry's mother Lady D and he is in fact he's passed away now isn't he Hewitt

01:05:33.340 um he's actually harry's father who knows they won't do a dna test okay luke said

01:05:42.560 i wish we could edit edit super chats bloody autocorrects autocorrect likes to to stuff them

01:05:50.080 up i think that was fun i think that was deliberate obviously meant to hate likes likes to stuff them

01:05:55.100 up yeah autocorrect yeah just double check what you're right before you press send i guess

01:05:58.940 next one also Luke says I mean to say less power not left power in central government

01:06:05.780 that's okay all right and the last one here Fallen Firebird says in the modern managerial state

01:06:12.080 devolution is just another excuse like the quangos for the central government not to do

01:06:17.100 what the actual British people want yeah that's true good take definitely true oh we can't like

01:06:23.440 quite oh we can't that's a devolved power yeah right yeah we tried to do something about it but

01:06:28.520 The devolved power won't let us do it

01:06:31.900 We tried to do something about it 0.85

01:06:32.800 But the quango, the courts 1.00

01:06:33.960 You control the 0.99

01:06:35.960 Ultimately if you want to 0.99

01:06:37.460 If you want to control the quangos 1.00

01:06:39.360 And the devolved bodies

01:06:40.880 And the courts

01:06:41.800 If you really wanted to

01:06:42.760 If you had the political will to do it

01:06:44.600 You take those powers back

01:06:46.940 Or pass Acts of Parliament

01:06:48.160 To control them properly

01:06:50.340 But you don't want to

01:06:50.980 Again it's as Fallen Firebird says

01:06:53.420 It's a very convenient excuse

01:06:55.600 Oh we can't

01:06:56.940 Our hands are tied now

01:06:57.880 You tied your own hands

01:07:00.240 I think we didn't realise

01:07:03.880 I think we can't see

01:07:04.680 I think we don't have any memory 1.00

01:07:06.060 I think we're just idiot children 1.00

01:07:08.260 Alright 1.00

01:07:10.380 That's the last one we're at

01:07:11.780 Let's have a look at the superchats

01:07:12.760 Harry you need to bring up the YouTube superchats for me if you could

01:07:15.300 Could you make it so

01:07:16.580 Engaged

01:07:18.100 There they are

01:07:18.560 Okay good

01:07:19.040 Alright

01:07:20.240 There's a

01:07:21.420 Ten or a dozen or so

01:07:22.980 Let's see what we've got

01:07:24.300 Tatum2733 says

01:07:26.500 part of the ceasefire is israel leaving lebanon so if hezbollah keeps shooting it's not a violation

01:07:32.740 the idf is in violation by still invading yeah you can look at it that way sure yeah

01:07:38.480 well i want to play defense on behalf of israel benjamin netanyahu in the idf but

01:07:48.440 just you know obviously well you already know but they would just use the argument that we have to

01:07:52.880 invade for our own safety we have to invade southern lebanon because because of hezbollah's

01:07:57.120 aggression yeah i mean yeah you're yeah what can you do what can you say you're right 0.95

01:08:07.520 but then hezbollah will say well you're you're attacking us we need to respond

01:08:14.880 okay david betts 1180 says

01:08:18.320 Had first fleeing

01:08:21.520 Venezuelan families arriving here 0.94

01:08:23.840 In

01:08:24.660 Bucaramanga

01:08:27.220 Colombia, sorry if I'm mispronouncing that

01:08:29.980 Bucaramanga

01:08:33.220 Bucaramanga

01:08:34.180 In Colombia this weekend

01:08:35.860 Been heartbreaking speaking to them

01:08:38.280 While giving out food and water

01:08:39.760 Give your loved ones a hug and be grateful

01:08:41.900 Yeah

01:08:43.100 That's a good sentiment

01:08:45.340 You never know

01:08:47.920 What's going to happen

01:08:48.880 There's someone out there

01:08:53.880 You hold dear and love

01:08:55.140 And you haven't let them know in a while

01:08:56.320 Do let them know

01:08:57.120 Because you never know what can happen

01:08:59.700 Life can change on a dime

01:09:02.740 And often does

01:09:05.340 Out of clear blue sky

01:09:07.200 Very often does

01:09:08.500 Tatum again says

01:09:09.880 Jesus Christ chased people with a whip

01:09:12.720 That's what you said there 0.68

01:09:15.260 Is that in the temple

01:09:17.820 Turning over the money lenders thing in the temple

01:09:19.880 Is that that bit, if I recall

01:09:21.740 Is there any other bit in the Gospels

01:09:23.700 Where you could be referring to

01:09:24.840 Okay

01:09:28.040 Mr Dickie Bingo, how are you sir?

01:10:05.760 Yeah I believe so 0.58

01:10:06.780 I fear so

01:10:07.520 Mayor's councils will grab more resources

01:10:10.760 Since it is in their interest

01:10:12.700 And they can adult patronage

01:10:15.080 Chicago

01:10:16.500 Yeah

01:10:18.720 You'll get mayors and councillors

01:10:20.940 That have got their own racial, religious

01:10:22.820 And tribal and ethnic

01:10:24.060 Allegiances 0.58

01:10:26.040 Which aren't to those of the native British white people 1.00

01:10:29.480 And they'll rinse the system 1.00

01:10:39.100 Is that lifting Britain up, is it

01:10:40.880 F Google

01:10:44.320 2 again says

01:10:45.720 Why are so many politicians

01:10:47.840 Light in the loafers

01:10:49.220 Are you suggesting that

01:10:52.080 Mr Burnham is a bit

01:10:53.040 Fruity, a bit musical

01:10:55.080 Of the musical persuasion

01:10:57.880 Okay, is he married

01:11:03.640 Or in a relationship with a woman

01:11:08.120 That we know of, I don't know, I don't even know

01:11:09.600 You never really see him

01:11:11.140 With a wife or a partner, do you

01:11:14.320 i don't know we don't know is he light in the loafers

01:11:20.640 psycho hobo says we need to see who the three presidents of the eu are connected to

01:11:26.160 and who is funding the kalergi plan

01:11:30.480 the three presidents of the eu which three presidents do you mean i'm not sure exactly

01:11:36.960 what you mean there yeah but no who's funding it all yeah yeah who's funding it all very good

01:11:43.440 question pertinent question salient oh harry my super chats just disappeared from the screen

01:11:49.760 i don't know if i click something or you click something or something can you bring them back

01:11:53.120 one second second people hold tight oh they're okay they're back all right we've got three more

01:11:59.760 just three more today uh pope john edgar the fourth that's their name at pope john edgar

01:12:06.400 the fourth says mj didn't die he just changed color again he's actually on a double-decker bus

01:12:18.400 on the far side of the moon with elvis and bruce lee he's still alive and the real paul mccartney

01:12:26.480 okay amazing disgrace 9-1-1 i i like that i like that name always like that name amazing disgrace

01:12:32.560 it says history is useless without original source material the difference is crucial a very good

01:12:38.960 point oh absolutely very good point i mean my undergrad was nominally in ancient history that

01:12:43.600 was the name of the degree just ancient history but what it really was the bulk of it was

01:12:48.940 historiography really was looking at the nature of history itself you had to read a lot of the

01:12:54.220 history and sometimes do essays about what happened in history but largely it's looking

01:12:58.780 At the sources, looking at primary

01:13:00.760 Sources, talking about primary and secondary

01:13:02.500 Sources, historiography, the nature

01:13:04.940 Of what history is itself

01:13:06.140 You're quite right, history is useless

01:13:08.700 Without original source material, yeah

01:13:10.260 I don't know what that was in reference to

01:13:12.500 Exactly, but you're quite right

01:13:14.540 Of course then you have to

01:13:16.420 Scrutinise primary source

01:13:18.700 Material as well though

01:13:19.680 Of course they would have had their biases

01:13:22.280 And things, but yeah

01:13:24.340 To never ever return to primary

01:13:26.820 Source material is wrong

01:13:28.760 Isn't it

01:13:29.180 That's what I say to people

01:13:30.160 Often

01:13:30.940 Quite often

01:13:31.780 People say

01:13:32.280 Have you got any book recommendations

01:13:33.420 I'm interested in ancient Rome

01:13:34.760 Or something

01:13:35.160 What do you recommend

01:13:35.880 I don't usually recommend

01:13:38.360 I do often say Gibbon actually

01:13:40.040 Don't I Edward Gibbon

01:13:40.740 I don't usually recommend

01:13:42.300 A modern book

01:13:44.240 I will say

01:13:45.160 Go back and read

01:13:46.120 Some of the lives of Plutarch

01:13:47.820 Go back and read Tacitus

01:13:48.960 Or Suetonius or something

01:13:50.180 Maybe read an essay about

01:13:53.320 Tacitus and Suetonius as well

01:13:55.080 Or Plutarch

01:13:56.240 Or whatever

01:13:56.760 Yeah, read the original source material

01:14:00.600 Do you want to know about Alexander the Great?

01:14:05.320 Read Arian 1.00

01:14:06.120 Don't read Michael Wood 1.00

01:14:09.140 Or do both, do whatever you like

01:14:11.060 I don't like to preach to people and tell them what to do or not to do

01:14:15.040 But yeah, the original sources, you can't beat it

01:14:17.040 I was having a conversation with someone at Makerfield

01:14:19.580 And they were talking about Arthur, King Arthur

01:14:21.380 And they had all sorts of kind of odd ideas about it

01:14:26.760 And I said, well, wait, what about the original, where are you getting that idea from,

01:14:31.480 that odd idea, apart from the Arthurian legend?

01:14:33.720 Why don't you go back to the original source material?

01:14:36.020 You know what the original sources are, right?

01:14:41.740 Jeffrey, someone like Jeffrey of Monmouth, or Christiane de Troyes, or something.

01:14:47.820 They didn't know.

01:14:49.340 They just heard of, or read, or someone else had read, and told them about some secondary material they'd read.

01:14:55.480 And it's just Chinese whispers at that point 0.99

01:14:58.020 I go back to the horse's mouth 0.83

01:15:00.000 And then come talk to me

01:15:01.220 And then we can have a proper conversation about it

01:15:02.780 Okay

01:15:04.940 Okay
