00:00:00.000 morning you all right it is monday morning the 5th of january in the year of our lord
00:00:11.800 2026 and it is the inaugural breakfast with beau
00:00:16.300 the beau show
00:00:19.480 so welcome welcome aboard if you're here watching this live or indeed later today
00:00:29.420 then you're part of a glorious band the chosen few to be here from the beginning for something
00:00:37.540 it's probably going to be pretty special isn't it let's be honest i'm joined by my uh producer
00:00:43.480 harry say hello harry good morning that's little harry and he's not very little he's like six foot
00:00:51.960 six one how tall are you harry uh 5'11 i think oh is it oh well still not that little not little
00:00:58.500 but little compared to the other harry in the office harry robinson who is a giant let's be
00:01:03.480 honest um so poor little harry who's not even little uh but there you go that's what he gets
00:01:09.180 called uh well he's like my uh my comedy dave my sidekick simon my um young jamie and you are quite
00:01:17.320 young aren't you harry you 90 or you 20 now i'm 20 now okay so you go a babe in arms so uh if i do
00:01:24.860 like 80s references he's not going to get them and i do a fair bit of 80s references i can't even
00:01:30.240 help myself they just slip in there all right so let's get started uh everyone's back to work today
00:01:36.040 uh you know millions of people across britain or across the world i would have thought uh back to
00:01:41.640 work back to school um and so usually what i plan to do in the normal course of events is jump
00:01:47.060 pretty much straight into the news that's what this show is a roundup of the day's news what's in
00:01:51.960 the news cycle today for people that haven't got time during the day to just be constantly
00:01:56.840 checking the news constantly on twitter if you've got an actual job a normal job where you can't do
00:02:00.400 that you're not allowed to do that um it would be good i think a lot of people do get sort of a news
00:02:05.560 hit in the mornings so lotus leaders wanted to offer you something like that um and um i always thought
00:02:11.760 it's something i could do i'd like to do so uh we're going to do that but usually most days i'm going
00:02:16.580 to jump straight into that but because it's the first episode i'll just do a little bit of
00:02:20.260 of preamble just to let you know what we're going to do um and this this will probably change over
00:02:25.500 the first few days weeks even months probably tweak it here and there things that don't really work
00:02:29.760 will drop and start trying new things see what people like see what people don't like see what
00:02:33.880 i'm comfortable with but to begin with we'll go through the papers the front pages of the papers
00:02:39.640 in britain then we'll have a look at a few different websites you know bbc channel 4 the mail online
00:02:45.740 whatever all those sorts of things but then go around the world you want to go around the world
00:02:50.600 world world world look at um look at things like le monde look what's going on in france look at build
00:02:56.480 the germans you know maybe have a look at what's in um like the the preeminent russian news organ
00:03:03.940 the the biggest indian chinese ones uh go from from west to east go around the world
00:03:11.740 and uh look at and then look at america you know look at the la times look at the new york post
00:03:18.020 the washington post new york times washington post stuff like that uh so yeah uh i think that will
00:03:24.060 feel an hour well it will uh but if it doesn't we've got other little things that sort of and finally
00:03:29.480 topics like science i'm interested in science science news so if there's time on any given day
00:03:36.440 we'll have a quick look at that um and also possibly things like uh on this day in history
00:03:41.780 there's a few different websites that like on this day in history because you know every single day
00:03:46.080 there's loads of things that happened throughout the centuries that could be mentioned so it's sort
00:03:49.960 of an and finally segment and then if we've got time uh you know comments um anything in the chat
00:03:55.640 that was particularly good or super chats things like that um and as i say as we go on we may tweak it
00:04:01.720 and change it over the coming days and weeks um all right so another thing to say before we jump in
00:04:07.480 is that obviously some days are going to be quite slow news days where there's nothing seismic
00:04:15.160 has particularly happened uh and and all the papers will go with all sorts of different things
00:04:20.620 and um the news cycle will be sort of all over the shop and then some days it's going to be
00:04:28.140 dominated by one thing you know if there's one massive thing that happened the previous day
00:04:32.060 obviously the news cycle in that morning will be dominated by the thing and today is one of those
00:04:37.040 days um and i suspect um those days will probably be slightly rarer so we're starting off with uh
00:04:44.680 perhaps um an anomaly i don't know we'll see um but the big news of course is the venezuela thing
00:04:52.720 the maduro affair donald trump throwing his weight around in south america the the don row doctrine
00:05:00.720 do you get that harry a take on like the monroe doctrine do you get that reference okay
00:05:06.620 the mon the monroe doctrine was uh the idea that america the america's fit in broadly speaking
00:05:13.120 um the sphere of influence in central and south america it's like you know the united states won't let
00:05:18.720 anyone else dominate that area you know they're they're neighbors basically in the region um
00:05:24.780 and donald trump said that perhaps with the venezuela thing it's like the don row doctrine
00:05:31.720 it's a bad pun all right it's a bad pun okay all right so let's kick off then let's start let's have
00:05:36.360 a look so the bbc uh do do a web page which shows you the papers uh there we go i don't know harry if
00:05:44.260 you're uh you flick to that if it's up on my little screen i don't see exactly what you get to see on
00:05:49.280 on the internet so i'm just trusting harry's got it all in hand yeah all good getting the thumbs up
00:05:54.700 all right so yeah the bbc have a web page like this that shows the front pages of the papers
00:05:59.480 um so let's just go let's just uh kick off let's see what we got so first of all the financial times
00:06:06.860 you know one of the more eminent newspapers in britain although to be honest in the last few years
00:06:12.920 it does still come out with a bunch of woke crap a fair amount of the time but still um not this
00:06:19.300 ever particularly based but it's slightly more based than most of the others okay the financial
00:06:24.080 times trump piles fresh pressure on venezuela white house retains uh optionality to use further to use
00:06:33.280 further armed force if needed so that was one thing so i watched donald trump's uh and rubio's
00:06:38.680 uh press conference yesterday and a couple other bits and bobs since he i saw trump talking on air
00:06:44.080 force one and a couple other things he did another interview um with was it with the atlantic um yeah
00:06:50.300 and they said look what if this doesn't work you know you sort of cut the head off the the serpent
00:06:56.940 if you like but what if it proves to be a hydra and it just goes it all goes belly up iraq style
00:07:03.760 are you going to be prepared to put boots on the ground i mean more than just a special forces team
00:07:10.700 you know would you send in the marine corps would you send in like the first armored division or
00:07:15.960 whatever and his response was yeah if needs be
00:07:19.240 you know he doesn't want to say i don't want to i don't think i'll need to
00:07:23.940 but don't think i'm afraid to was his response which is both sort of um pragmatic a little bit
00:07:33.500 chilling you know but i mean what else could you say if you're if you're prepared to pull the trigger
00:07:39.200 on this thing you've got you've got to go whole hog i suppose if needs be because people are saying
00:07:44.220 it's like oh it's another forever war trump uh promised he would be like the anti-war president
00:07:49.440 and in his first term and so far in this term uh is largely is uh almost entirely is i mean not
00:07:57.380 entirely it's one of those things if you're president of the united states even if you're
00:08:01.120 like jimmy carter i.e you know not very warlike a much more dove than a hawk you still find yourself
00:08:08.380 embroiled in military things abroad right still going to happen there's no way to avoid it i would
00:08:14.660 have thought at some point as president of the united states even if it's small limited things
00:08:21.840 um not that this is limited i'm not saying that but you know it's going to be impossible to be a
00:08:27.040 truly truly 100 peaceful president of the united states um i remember once actually dan carlin said
00:08:34.600 if you want to be like a leader of men you want to be the president of the united states
00:08:38.800 or you want to go down in history as a caesar or a napoleon or a george washington type figure
00:08:44.120 well be prepared to kill loads of people
00:08:46.400 whether whether you know justly or not if you're not prepared to do that
00:08:53.100 you already almost certainly won't be able to sort of sit in those top seats
00:08:58.140 anyway trump has shown himself hasn't he of the years that he is prepared to pull the trigger on
00:09:02.900 various things remember that quassam soleimani iranian general guy that he just droned to bits
00:09:09.820 in baghdad airport remember that um when he bombed um when he bombed iran uh last year
00:09:16.300 uh with the b2 the stealth bomber you know so trump isn't afraid to use force when he feels he needs to
00:09:24.520 despite being the i get why some mega people uh or maybe quite a lot of mega people were a little
00:09:30.720 annoyed with trump so i thought you were the peace guy i thought you're the guy that didn't start wars
00:09:35.260 well it just it just is what it is i suppose um if you're going to make big plays on the
00:09:42.580 international stage it's going to require if not like you know full-blown iraq 2003 style invasions
00:09:49.640 at least like special forces raids right again i think of jimmy carter like it's impossible
00:09:55.840 it's kind of impossible i would have thought to completely be a peaceful president but okay what is
00:10:01.000 maduro uh due in new york court today after dramatic weekend abduction yeah so that's the
00:10:07.960 other thing people have said and i think i agree with them that it's basically an illegal action
00:10:14.460 what he did you know the the the united states are saying that it's a police action you know it was
00:10:20.920 the dea that have arrested him because he's up on criminal charges it's a police action we may have
00:10:27.000 used delta force and like the u.s navy and the air force and whatever to sort of apprehend him abduct
00:10:32.840 him but it's actually just a police action you know rubio's like we're not at war uh but let's be
00:10:37.800 clear we're not at war with venezuela uh but nonetheless you know uh it is a kidnapping
00:10:46.200 right i mean it is it is um the idea that maduro has to answer to criminal charges in the southern
00:10:57.500 district of new york well that's not a thing is it he's a venezuelan person in venezuela
00:11:03.260 but nonetheless there you go police action didn't eisenhower call the whole korean war a police action
00:11:11.100 so there you go call it what you want might is right and i'm not saying it's fair i'm not saying
00:11:18.600 it's particularly just or righteous i think it is kind of righteous because i hate maduro he's a
00:11:25.300 communist ruined that country made lives of misery for loads and loads of nearly all venezuelans an
00:11:31.420 absolute misery tank the economy you know i think he's a bad guy uh but it's still kidnapping right
00:11:37.520 it's still you know at odds with international law but you go might is right and once again i'm not
00:11:43.440 saying it's fair it's not fair is it you know like when putin will just like poison uh the leader of
00:11:51.640 like uzbekistan or whatever not that he did that but you know he does things like that it's like well
00:11:56.380 who's going to stop him you know when xi when that winnie the pooh fella over here in beijing
00:12:01.300 when he just like illegally arrests and detains a bunch of people from nepal or something
00:12:06.240 oh the tibet rather sorry tibet something like that loads of chinese dissidents just disappear it's
00:12:12.160 like well he's got the power what are you going to do if you can't physically stop someone from
00:12:19.780 doing something you know that's the end of the story really isn't it i mean if you look at america
00:12:24.480 and how they've well not just america but you look at how big powers in the world of sort of flouted
00:12:30.540 international law over the years uh yeah this is nothing particularly new i think of noriega for
00:12:37.460 example when they go after someone like el chapo or um escobar right the dea just murdered escobar
00:12:45.500 on a rooftop in colombia right so things like you know things like this happened so
00:12:51.940 you know it is what it is the united states i remember what was it when uh the league of nations
00:12:57.300 came out woodrow wilson's uh baby the league of nations when it came out like a new product
00:13:03.140 remember when the league of nations came out remember that um and then the u.s senate and
00:13:07.740 congress say no we're not doing that forget that we're not going to be bound by that or like the
00:13:12.880 un how many times since world war ii have the un said to one country you can't do that don't do that
00:13:19.720 and the country's just like nah we're going to do it anyway screw you you can't stop us
00:13:26.020 this is one of those things isn't it it is what it is um okay sorry back to the financial times
00:13:34.540 i think they're in a lot of trouble that's a quote i think they're in a lot of trouble
00:13:39.000 rubio issues threats against cuba so there's another thing a bit on the story isn't it is that
00:13:44.840 it it does send a message to other countries that trump you know or will can just do stuff
00:13:54.240 right there's this thing nixon would talk about richard nixon um that the rest of the world is
00:14:01.060 really talking about the soviets at that point it's the 70s still late eight late 60s early 70s
00:14:05.920 it's still the cold war um that he as president of the united states his enemies need to think of him
00:14:12.260 or need to know really that he's some sort of mad dog that that will do violent things so don't
00:14:21.940 mess with him again it sort of is what it is that's power isn't it when there's a bunch of big cabals in
00:14:30.340 the world big powers governments if you're going to dominate them for sure will on them then they've
00:14:37.460 got to know that you're for real that you really will do it so yeah it's uh it is a message isn't
00:14:42.860 it to places like cuba um trump was has been always quite vocal and was in the press conference
00:14:50.680 yesterday that he would think about doing something against cuba if they don't sort of fall in line a
00:14:55.980 bit more uh colombia the colombia guy a few weeks back was it a month or two back when someone asked
00:15:03.460 trump about um colombia the colombian leader trump said he better watch his ass
00:15:09.180 trump trump said they better watch his ass and uh in the press conference yesterday someone said is
00:15:15.120 that still the case and he was like yeah yeah it is look out like stop playing games
00:15:21.200 if you f around you may well find out may well find uh delta force knocking at your door i mean
00:15:30.320 yeah or greenland not that you need a delta force to sort of do any raids in greenland but you know
00:15:38.280 trump has made it very clear he's got designs sort of grand strategic designs on greenland he thinks
00:15:44.580 it's in the united states national interest to sort of fully control or annex greenland i don't know
00:15:50.700 the exact plan i don't know if anyone knows the exact plan but you know it's got designs on greenland
00:15:54.440 which belongs to denmark basically little old denmark denmark cannot stop donald trump from
00:16:01.100 taking greenland if he decides he's just going to use executive action maduro style suleimani style
00:16:08.300 just to take greenland no one can stop him so yeah it is it is and loads of other countries like iran
00:16:15.660 you know look out iran look out mr ayatollah is is what this says doesn't it and anywhere else in the
00:16:23.680 world on twitter a lot of people joking a lot of brits joking come and do it to starma i don't want
00:16:29.760 that to be clear um not that i like the starma government of course i don't uh but i don't think
00:16:35.780 i don't i don't want that i haven't advocated for that but it's a funny thing to say isn't it i think
00:16:40.800 i saw even some french people saying come and uh come and do come pull a maduro on macron for us
00:16:47.300 mr trump um i hope i hope all joking aside i hope that the venezuelan people um will be relieved of
00:16:55.260 some of their misery and financial ruin right that would be nice wouldn't it to be let up from uh the
00:17:04.220 stranglehold of socialism which is to be fair pretty much ruined their country it was a prosperous
00:17:10.120 it used to be a prosperous and uh you know wealthy ish for south america country and now they're now
00:17:18.840 it's you know so hopefully hopefully history will show fingers crossed that um this was actually
00:17:25.840 a good use of a little bit of sort of surgical violence and it was violent you know if anyone saw
00:17:33.760 the the uh images a few bombs going off in caracas right the skyline with u.s helicopters black hawks
00:17:42.220 flying across the skyline apparently there's something in the order of between 30 and 40 odd
00:17:47.900 venezuelan whether they were army guys or just maduro's sort of personal security but something
00:17:53.880 in the region of 30 plus dudes got killed by delta force that wasn't entirely bloodless
00:18:01.060 no delta force guys died apparently a couple apparently a couple were injured shot but
00:18:06.100 have survived one u.s helicopter apparently was damaged but was still able to fly
00:18:12.380 was still able to get back to the aircraft carrier or whatever it was just off the coast
00:18:17.520 so i mean in terms of special forces raids uh a smashing success just purely in terms of that
00:18:26.080 operation um i'm fascinated by special forces raids uh this this week on epochs my show on epochs
00:18:35.140 i'll give it a quick plug is that out of lines out of order i mean it's behind you harry's also uh
00:18:42.880 helps edit my or does all the editing really for um the epoch show on the website if you're watching
00:18:49.500 this on youtube or something later there is the lotus teachers website and if you go on there
00:18:54.100 there's all sorts of free content like the daily podcast but there's also uh some paywalled content
00:18:58.920 dan dan tubb does a show luca johnson does a show i've got a show my history thing show called epochs
00:19:05.060 long form me just talking about history things 244 episodes now is it so a few hundred hours
00:19:13.460 of me talking about history last and they always come out on a sunday last sunday's one yesterday's
00:19:18.040 one was about a special forces raid the sas in the iranian embassy siege in 1980 saving a load of
00:19:25.480 hostages all but one hostage and killing all but one terrorist and apprehending the like the other
00:19:31.000 terrorist so i'm fascinated by uh special forces raids it'll be interesting to see if and when they
00:19:36.520 make some sort of tv show or movie about about delta falls in caracas on saturday um yeah crazy crazy
00:19:46.140 stuff all right uh oh no sorry let's go back sorry uh so the fuck we had the financial times
00:19:52.800 what else have we got here we got the the guardian oh
00:19:56.280 the guardian okay what's the guardian say uh trump warns of quote warns of quote big price to pay
00:20:05.540 if caracas fails to toe line yeah so when if you take away the head of state the obvious question
00:20:11.580 is well who's head of state now who's the leader now you know because the problem is the worry is
00:20:19.200 is that just like in iraq the spectre of iraq 2003 is if you just remove a strong man or any leader
00:20:27.580 actually if you just remove them literally just cut the head off the snake um then you're either
00:20:34.800 going to have a power vacuum and power vacuums are always bad history shows power vacuums are nearly
00:20:41.180 always bad that's the problem with true true true hardline libertarianism is that it's like power
00:20:48.100 vacuums nearly always get filled by somebody somehow anyway won't get into the nature of
00:20:53.100 libertarianism but you either have a power vacuum or you have factional infighting and that can quite
00:20:59.340 quickly quite often descend into a nightmare sectarian bloodbath nightmare exactly what happened in iraq so
00:21:07.720 no one wants that no one wants that for venezuela right so who's the lip so the question remains who
00:21:13.980 who's the leader then um so they've got the deputy leader that woman uh rodriguez uh she was uh sort
00:21:24.120 of it was they made it clear the venezuelans themselves made it clear um pretty quickly you
00:21:29.060 know by the afternoon on saturday that she was you know the interim leader the provisional leader
00:21:34.340 um but well because she's the vice president so that is sort of the legit
00:21:38.780 you know line of succession if if maduro died of a heart attack in his sleep on saturday night
00:21:45.120 it it would pass to her so that seems reasonable and fair enough um the thing is where trump has done
00:21:53.440 this and is now claiming that the pentagon and the state department are just gonna run venezuela and
00:22:01.640 that was the quote they're gonna run it someone on twitter i thought was quite funny said what's he
00:22:05.520 talking about it's not a football team like running venezuela that was that was the terminology that
00:22:10.440 was the word he used not governing ruling but run it we're gonna run venezuela okay um so the question
00:22:20.940 is where does the the the the the seat of power really lie who's really pulling the the levers of
00:22:27.960 power the uh the cockpit where where does all real big policy get decided is it with this
00:22:34.100 rodriguez lady or is it with trump and rubio essentially well trump has said it's with them
00:22:41.740 and he's got the power he's got the power right um so to make it clear to her he has said a few things
00:22:50.320 like you better it's basically i'm paraphrasing but basically do as you're told or will maduro you
00:22:57.180 right fall in line you better bloody well fall in line otherwise it's curtains for you one way or
00:23:04.320 another he said there you go big price to pay the quote there was another quote so he said um you know
00:23:10.180 you you'll find you basically said you'll find yourself in the same position as maduro or worse
00:23:14.460 because in the first few hours she came out and said
00:23:19.140 uh all stuff like we will never be slaves we'll never be enslaved again
00:23:24.260 you know that we won't put up with colonialism all that sort of thing
00:23:27.960 defiant in other words fairly reasonably defiant um but then she's come out since then
00:23:36.160 like on sunday basically saying oh no we do want cooperation with the u.s uh actually we are prepared
00:23:42.320 to completely uh cooperate with the u.s and we're happy to welcome uh any assistance they can you know
00:23:48.460 so so she changed her tune pretty quickly um you know like any politician who isn't a mad dog
00:23:55.380 you've got to realize what's possible right that is what politics is the art of the possible
00:24:02.040 um so she's obviously realized she doesn't want to end up in a new york jail either and then what
00:24:10.140 ultimately a supermax prison in colorado i mean because she's been around since the chavez days
00:24:16.820 she's absolutely part of this whole thing the regime as well so trump has said he wants to hold
00:24:23.280 elections have elections free real elections in venezuela kind of as soon as possible or as soon
00:24:30.400 as it's sort of practicable um and i guess they'll just i guess the state department will just sort of
00:24:37.040 force that rodriguez lady to sort of do that and sort of make that happen so okay um trump sort of
00:24:44.780 playing is kind of playing hardball i'm sorry you kind of got to you got a ball by the horns now
00:24:48.940 right you've got a tiger by the ears you've got you sort of got to play hardball there's a okay the
00:24:56.240 times um there's a picture the picture's coming out of maduro's of the maduro thing is uh crazy really
00:25:04.760 i mean i mean that's the way the world used to be when you look back at like world war ii and before
00:25:10.020 i mean you look back at the the 19th century the 18th century countries used to behave like this
00:25:15.820 much much more often i.e making fairly big plays like to us this is like a big play isn't it it's
00:25:23.160 like a big thing like a seismic thing has happened um i think we're just used to like the the 1980s
00:25:30.040 90s and the 2000s or 21st century actually that's an exception to the rule where these things don't
00:25:37.020 often happen in history things like this you know reasonably big moves being played by bigger powers
00:25:45.580 they just happened all the time all the time um so if you're a bit more familiar with history it's
00:25:52.740 not as shocking something like this isn't quite as shocking as um some people i think seem to think
00:25:59.720 um nonetheless it's still sort of it's sort of a bit a bit shocking is it quite a big play all right
00:26:07.380 so uh what's the times coming the times used to be thought of as pretty not necessarily right leaning
00:26:13.400 but right of center conservative with a small c not so much anymore i mean it's not as bad as the
00:26:19.460 guardian or the metro or something but um they do still come out with a bunch of woke crap a lot of
00:26:25.120 the time these days trump issues warning to venezuela's new leader yeah yeah basically saying
00:26:31.160 um do as you're told she doesn't have much choice does she the telegraph the tory graph
00:26:39.040 again um actually that the telegraph is one of the few that does still print based things sometimes
00:26:47.100 um people on the left think the telegraph is really right wing it's not it's just not as
00:26:55.780 ridiculously left wing as again something like the spectator or the or the metro or something
00:27:01.540 um sometimes they they print all sorts of globalist anti-white crap every now and again in fact to be
00:27:09.280 fair to them they do also print based stuff as well sometimes one of the last ones really to do it
00:27:15.100 um okay they've gone with uh trump set sights on greenland that's their headline so yeah they've
00:27:21.820 they're obviously going with the angle that um that you know if if trump can and will do this to
00:27:29.100 somebody like maduro because venezuela is not a small country i mean it's relatively small but what
00:27:34.920 i mean is in the scheme of things if you're gonna rank all countries you know venezuela is sort of a
00:27:40.880 middling one isn't it it's not absolutely tiny it's not it's not insignificant i mean it's oil
00:27:45.240 as i haven't even talked about the oil angle of it yet um but um they've got like what is it a fifth
00:27:52.620 of the world's oil or a seventh of the entire world's crude oil is in venezuela so it's not a tiny
00:27:59.680 player right it's not bhutan um so if trump can do it to maduro
00:28:06.500 he could easily do it to greenland you literally need to send in like one platoon of marines
00:28:13.680 not even special forces just normal marines
00:28:17.300 to take out greenland take it out you know do a regime change there okay that's the telegraph
00:28:26.640 um what have we got next we've got are the independent don't really like the independent
00:28:33.000 but they go with uh we are not at war u.s insists as it claims control of venezuela
00:28:38.800 um there you go secretary of state marco rubio denies there is war between the two countries as
00:28:45.020 military leaders in caracas call for the release of their president nicholas maduro set to appear in a
00:28:50.220 manhattan court today yeah where was the venezuelan military
00:28:54.720 during all this thing or you know there's there was obviously gunfire like i said already there
00:29:02.420 was there was gunplay but you know broadly speaking the venezuelan military didn't really
00:29:09.340 turn up did they they didn't put up much of a of a defense i mean i and i and i'm not blaming
00:29:15.980 them actually i'm not blaming them i'm not just trying to throw shade on the venezuelan military
00:29:20.840 for the sake of it for triumphalism that's not what i'm trying to say here um you know america had
00:29:26.680 uh carrier groups uh off the coast of venezuela for like weeks now they imposed a no-fly zone over
00:29:35.160 all of venezuela like a few like before christmas the u.s was somehow able to turn off all the power
00:29:42.200 in caracas that night so it seems to me what i'm trying to say here is it seems to me that
00:29:48.640 america this it was just a final final pushing over a house of cars to actually grab maduro
00:29:54.520 physically already loads of things were in place it seems already loads of venezuelan infrastructure
00:30:00.840 and military capability was already taken care of it seems were some of them even in on it who know
00:30:07.260 who knows that's pure conjecture i don't know about that but you know you you might you might think
00:30:12.100 that they'd they'd seen the writing on the wall and sort of rolled over just be like i don't want
00:30:20.180 to go up against many many black hawks full of delta false dudes that's a death sentence for us
00:30:27.600 for me so uh just let them do what they're going to do bro kind of thing i don't know i don't know
00:30:34.180 but um they're saying that they're calling for the release of their of their president
00:30:38.120 isn't that's not happening that's not happening when when you've been arrested by the dea
00:30:43.380 at the hands of uh delta force and the state department and the president of green lit it all
00:30:50.000 and you've been flown post haste to the southern district of new york to face prosecution
00:30:56.820 pam bondi and the doj have got a laundry list of crimes they're accusing you of they're not letting
00:31:03.600 you go they're not he's not he's not gonna let go i mean some people have said that it's all trumped
00:31:11.000 up charges was that pun intended trumped up charges i don't know uh that it's trumped up charges because
00:31:17.160 what he's been accused of is a whole list of things uh gun charges and drug trafficking um the big big
00:31:24.740 crimes many many of them um and some people said oh that's just that's trump that's not that's all fake
00:31:30.820 um that's just america making stuff up for their so that they can achieve sort of more broad strategic
00:31:38.300 goals maduro didn't do nothing well we'll see because he's going to be put on trial
00:31:44.260 in america so we'll get to see we'll get to hear the evidence according to the department of justice
00:31:51.720 um the evidence is massive and overwhelming
00:31:55.500 but who knows i mean we shall see i suspect they're not lying about that that's what i suspect
00:32:02.980 i don't know i'm not in maduro's inner entourage so i don't i obviously don't know but i suspect
00:32:09.440 when it goes to trial it will be shown that he sort of was acting effectively as the head of
00:32:15.680 like a drugs cartel or more than one or whatever um i suspect that would be the case but you know
00:32:23.400 watch your space we shall see right the daily mail pm faces revolt by labor's maduro apologist so this
00:32:31.020 is a bit of a fallout uh in britain is the uh our leader sakir starmer sort of was interesting for a
00:32:40.160 that he didn't get a call from the state department or from the white house either before or after the
00:32:46.440 fact usually it used to be the case all through the cold war and things that the uk and the us
00:32:52.920 talked to each other massively about what they planned to do use each other's intelligence services
00:32:57.860 and and even military sometimes to work in unison for all sorts of stuff certainly it used to be the
00:33:03.660 case even back in like the blair years you would have thought that the president would ring up
00:33:08.620 tony blair shortly after very shortly after something like this and just have a quick word
00:33:13.080 like literally like a two minute five minute call with him for appearances sake if for nothing else
00:33:18.320 for like you know the special relationship the closest of allies sort of thing but no they didn't
00:33:22.780 even they didn't even call him so but and off the back of that um starmer is like not condemned it
00:33:30.400 not overtly said this was a terrible this is some sort of international war crime it's terrible it's
00:33:34.880 illegal he used to like sort of keeping his powder dry and so lots of people in the labor party or
00:33:41.420 maduro apologists as the daily mail describes them um are annoyed with him about that
00:33:49.020 well what are you going to do it's interesting is it how the everyone that is annoyed by this they're
00:33:55.440 either leftists or you know either actual socialists or communists because their boy one of their
00:34:01.620 leaders has sort of got his comeuppance the other lot i must say that i don't seem particularly happy
00:34:08.580 with this are those that seem to think that israel and netanyahu are behind the whole thing
00:34:13.060 um i i don't see that i must say um because maduro was very vocally and an anti-zionist anti-israel
00:34:23.100 and netanyahu shot back and and said that he was very very anti the the maduro regime
00:34:29.660 and some said that that netanyahu is the case that netanyahu visited trump just a few days ago
00:34:36.120 and sort of told him to do this that doesn't make sense trump's had uh had a beeline for maduro ever
00:34:42.720 since his first term the military had things in place for days and days and days before this they
00:34:48.080 were just waiting for a window of the weather it's not the case that netanyahu went to trump and said
00:34:52.900 do this and trump said yes sir that's not what happened now it is the case that it's something
00:34:59.020 netanyahu would want but okay so me as an anti-socialist and anti-communist something i want
00:35:06.560 or would like to see think makes the world better happens to line up with something netanyahu wants
00:35:14.040 well it's just the way it is um what what can i say i think to be fair i do think trump
00:35:23.160 i think it's certainly the case to say i don't think this is a mad take that trump gives netanyahu
00:35:29.420 and the israelis far too much influence over him and that's putting it mildly right far too much
00:35:34.920 far too much why is he doing that but does bibi actually give him orders
00:35:38.860 no i don't i don't think so i really don't think so maybe i'm wrong maybe get a bunch of crap in the
00:35:46.220 comments for that one for that take but there you go that's what that's my feeling all right the paper
00:35:51.300 the eye paper rather says uh starmer plots calls for a softer brexit as a leadership rival circle okay
00:35:57.080 so this is another a different story for once the first paper that's not going with it um and i
00:36:02.560 realized you're already 35 minutes in so i have to hurry along a bit here but uh this story is about
00:36:07.580 that there's people that want to uh supplant secure starmer as the prime minister namely west
00:36:13.400 streeting and andy burnham and both of those are a lot more left-leaning or a lot more ramona a lot
00:36:19.000 more romaniac than um than starmer or the conservative party or reform or whatever um and so to undercut
00:36:26.980 them it seems is the political calculation from from keir starmer to undercut them he's becoming even
00:36:34.560 softer on brexit brilliant you know screw what the majority of the british people voted for and want
00:36:42.840 you know screw that what's more important to starmer is his position it seems that's that's that's that
00:36:49.880 in a nutshell the daily express fears starmer is plotting a full-blown brexit betrayal so yeah again
00:36:56.780 that's the same thing that he's talking about i won't get into the detail here but um talking about
00:37:01.300 that the the freedom of movement he said he's not going to introduce reintroduce the freedom of
00:37:07.320 movement from the eu but they might have a closer um um just close to economic tires with with the
00:37:14.300 european bloc um and he said it's in our national interest to do that it's not it's not europe as a
00:37:22.640 whole is a sort of a shrinking economy or certainly growing slower than the uk economy which is growing
00:37:29.000 really slowly but there's he's growing even more slowly so i don't you don't get how it's in our
00:37:33.360 national interest it's not um and yet that's the sort of noises keir starmer is making because he's
00:37:38.420 a weak fool of a man the daily star anyone who isn't british just let you know the day star is a bit
00:37:44.520 uh a bit more sensationalist a bit more slop a bit more sort of national enquirer level
00:37:50.500 although to be fair actually to be fair sometimes they break an important story
00:37:55.580 occasionally i've seen the star break an important story that the rest of the mainstream media are
00:38:00.820 afraid to touch uh but anyway they are a bit more sort of sensationalist and
00:38:05.420 pardon me they've gone with uh aj's pain for lost brothers
00:38:10.940 that's anthony joshua the nigerian boxer pretending to be british um was in a car crash if anyone saw
00:38:20.900 he had a fight with jake paul didn't he the other day broke his jaw broke jake paul's jaw in two
00:38:26.020 places pretty bad injury used to be not that long ago uh heavyweight champion so um yeah anyway he was
00:38:35.240 in a car crash where two of his mates died they're not literally his brothers that's why they're in
00:38:39.500 brothers is inverted commas there uh but yeah he was in a really bad car crash where two people died
00:38:45.660 and he is like mildly injured it seems um obviously not too badly because there's a picture of him
00:38:52.420 there but um yeah he escaped with his life just about wow that's a crazy thing isn't it um
00:38:58.900 all right the sun the sun the proper tabloid this proper british tabloid the sun they've decided to
00:39:07.700 go with with uh joshua's story as well aj aj's pledge to families of brothers um yeah okay the
00:39:16.900 mirror uh the mirror what an embarrassment on this day they've decided the most important story to go
00:39:24.840 on their front page is uh that that jesse nelson from little mix there's a really shit girl bad
00:39:33.080 i shouldn't swear carl doesn't like swearing there's a very poor girl band called little mix
00:39:39.980 of which this bird was in it and she's got two babies two twins and they're really ill and might
00:39:46.920 not they grow might may grow up not to be able to walk which is obviously a really sad story
00:39:52.080 is it front page news on the 5th of january 2026 no obviously not but there you go that's the
00:40:01.660 mirror that's the mirror for you all right so let's have a quick look then at just some of the
00:40:07.620 websites quick whip round bbc news website obviously going with trump nearly all of these will just be
00:40:11.920 going with the trump thing uh and the venezuela thing so if there's if there's i'll sort of because
00:40:16.980 i've talked about that a fair bit haven't i already now if there's any other stuff i'll sort of try and
00:40:20.320 focus on that well teen girl educated in uk confirmed to have died in swiss bar fire yeah
00:40:25.740 that was bad wasn't it just see that over the weekend or was it right at the end of uh it was
00:40:29.940 at new year's wasn't it so um yeah a bar in swiss an underground bar in switzerland uh a fire started
00:40:38.840 and there was only one way out this is only one stairwell out of there a fire started and loads of
00:40:44.980 people burned to death 40 plus was it mostly young people celebrating uh new year so that's
00:40:51.240 obviously a terrible horrible tragedy there was one clip i saw on twitter uh apparently the way it
00:40:57.860 started they had champagne bottles with um sparklers in them right a bit of a bit of a weird thing not
00:41:05.040 really seen that much before but that's what they were doing and people were holding these up and
00:41:08.700 playing around with them and there was something on the ceiling some sort of not sure whether it was
00:41:15.020 cladding or some sort of decorations on the ceiling anyway the ceiling sort of caught fire and as it's
00:41:21.520 beginning to spread well it's already sort of going fully going there's clips on twitter of loads of
00:41:29.000 people in the bar many of them subsequently burnt to death in the next few minutes filming it on their
00:41:35.940 phone cheering and dancing around and jumping around and weeping it up an incredible clip really
00:41:42.860 very very sad clip but incredible because why would you act like that you're either so drunk you don't
00:41:52.060 really realize the danger in or you're a complete idiot you don't know you don't realize what danger
00:41:57.460 you're in if you're ever in a confined space a crowded confined space with only one exit and a fire is
00:42:04.960 breaking out you're in extreme danger at that moment um probably don't get your phone out and just
00:42:11.800 stand there filming it and even laughing and joking and weeping it up mad a mad clip but um anyway okay
00:42:20.920 the swiss fire is sort of in the news cycle all at the moment all right let's see what it was itv news
00:42:27.240 um what they're going with people with healthy bmi using ai to get weight loss jabs
00:42:34.040 okay much more venezuela things what have we got channel 4 news anyone who doesn't know channel 4
00:42:42.800 news is the wokest of the woke it's up there with the guardian or whatever it's like a hyper woke
00:42:48.960 so they're going with when they go with the trump stuff their angle their take is of course these you
00:42:54.560 know it's the most terrible worst thing ever you know no mention of maduro's crimes his manifest
00:43:01.060 crimes no real mention of stuff like that just it's terrible and illegal that's their angle on
00:43:07.220 everything uh because of course it is because it's the channel 4 news well they've gone with an iran
00:43:12.240 story here iran supreme leader uh calls for talks with protesters while insisting they quote must be put
00:43:18.960 in their place quote so that's another big thing in a new circle at the moment all across iran there's
00:43:25.240 uh all sorts of protests again against the regime um not uncommon now uh and they're pretty big
00:43:33.280 protests pretty serious ones people die in them like two people here five people there
00:43:38.660 die in these protests uh you know it's not like just a few mums holding a placard up
00:43:44.700 outside a government building it's not like a tommy rally right it's it's real the real deal
00:43:50.540 life and death type protests um across iran and um well they say the ayatollah says they must be put
00:43:59.320 in their place the other thing trump has said recently over the weekend or was it at the end of
00:44:03.060 last week he said if iran starts killing people i mean they are already killing people but i suppose he
00:44:11.120 means if they start killing them on mass like tianaman square style massacres and things if they
00:44:16.500 start doing that he trump is prepared to stand up for the protesters you know what that really means
00:44:22.880 who knows exactly what that means but so again iran in a bit of persia in a in a bit of strife
00:44:30.140 as has kind of nearly always been the case since ancient assyrian times
00:44:36.480 there you go um all right let's see what else we've got sky news sky news very very woke
00:44:44.640 didn't always used to be back in the 90s i never really got the feeling that sky was particularly
00:44:50.200 subversive or woke but they are now they've gone with their sort of top story at the moment is a
00:44:55.780 14 year old girl and a man are in this hotel that's a quote from somebody a 14 year old girl and a man
00:45:00.800 in this hotel how police are stepping up to protect children yeah right you found one story
00:45:09.040 yeah again anyone who doesn't know who's been living under a rock the police it's great manchester
00:45:17.060 as well the irony the police have historically absolutely failed to protect hundreds of thousands
00:45:22.420 of children haven't they okay blizzard conditions forecast an amber warning in force as uk returns
00:45:30.100 to work and school oh yeah that's the thing so the weather in the uk at the moment is really bad
00:45:33.940 uh my walk here this morning a couple of hours ago it was a bit frosty but it wasn't absolutely
00:45:41.420 freezing it was cold but it wasn't absolutely baltic there was no snow but across in all sorts of parts
00:45:46.840 of the uk there are uh snowstorms blizzards and it's set to be more um so yeah i say everyone's
00:45:53.860 back to work and at school i saw some other headlines saying that there's quite a few schools closed this
00:45:58.080 morning if you're watching this it may be that you're sitting at home with your kiddywinks
00:46:02.120 and they're not in school this morning because the school's closed because there's too much snow
00:46:06.260 so that's the thing um i'm in the king's guard there's one thing the public does that annoys us
00:46:13.360 most don't care okay with a lot of these i'll look at the web page look at the biggest stories and then
00:46:20.320 at some point it will get to look sort of a stupid story stupid insignificant flippant story that i
00:46:25.920 don't care about and uh or no one really should care about and i'll just move on from there all right
00:46:30.160 the daily mail uh obviously going with uh the trump venezuela stuff uh keir starmer faces revolt by
00:46:37.620 labor's maduro apologists okay same same thing as they had in what's this arctic freeze grinds britain
00:46:43.300 to a halt andrew neil
00:46:44.880 disgusting fat globalist chill andrew neil says emperor trump's narcissistic imperial ambitions

00:51:51.580 about their own war of course i put this link in in in india uh the indian express and i had a quick
00:51:57.940 look through this website and it was clown shoes it was nonsense it really was nothing of any real
00:52:02.900 interest to anyone outside of india so i'll move on from it um what's this the japanese one uh kyodo
00:52:10.380 news japanese wire um and they're talking about all sorts of different things as well um obviously
00:52:16.920 you know their government it says end of japan's 26 year ruling coalition um they're saying there's
00:52:24.560 some sort of new year's eve auction which seemed to be a big thing in japan if anyone's japanese watching
00:52:30.380 this or just knows loads about japan let me know about what this the new year's auction is because
00:52:35.640 there's more than one story about it um uh yeah like the selling of cherries and how much they went
00:52:42.300 for at this auction thing it's like it's national news there what's that about let me know um
00:52:48.540 the la times the la times obviously pretty woke u.s forces uh u.s forces sees venezuelan leader
00:52:58.220 um but and they say uh oh there's things about the the weather in california and things about
00:53:05.440 american football or just football as americans call it um
00:53:10.120 or is it the new york the new york times they they run with trump says u.s is quote in charge quote
00:53:19.320 of venezuela while rubio stresses coercing it
00:53:24.580 okay um venezuela's new leader calls for dialogue and coexist quote coexistence with u.s
00:53:34.140 yeah she realizes which she realizes how to stay out of an american jail
00:53:39.640 uh trump suggests u.s could take action against more countries
00:53:43.900 i mean i don't want i don't want to line up with like neocon hawks
00:53:51.440 i really don't want to the actual like the actual um george bush jr era
00:53:58.300 uh neocons were a disgusting bunch of criminals as far as i was concerned
00:54:04.440 but nonetheless sometimes what they wanted do line up with things i would like to see
00:54:11.600 like i personally i would love to see delta force and the u.s military
00:54:18.320 stomp a mud hole clear through the mexican cartels
00:54:23.260 i would bloody love that they are the scum of the earth they are the worst of the worst
00:54:29.020 but then something like that a foreign intervention like that a lot of mega people wouldn't want like
00:54:35.760 to see would be annoyed for me for even saying that people say oh you're lining up with the
00:54:40.260 you're lining up with the neocons are you well you know sometimes what you want on your views do line
00:54:47.440 up with people that you wouldn't necessarily want to be a bedfellow with politically um
00:54:52.180 i don't know will trump do more stuff like this
00:54:55.160 what do you think will trump go into mexico colombia or wherever cuba greenland iran
00:55:03.460 who knows okay uh what have we got the uh we've got the washington post yes the washington post
00:55:11.420 they run with u.s plan to quote run quote venezuela
00:55:17.380 their plan is clouded in confusion yeah it's a bit isn't it i mean that's fair i mean the washington
00:55:23.260 post is obviously super woke but that is fair to say isn't it is a bit clouded in confusion
00:55:27.560 it's not clear i said on the state of politics my other channel that i do with mr h reviews
00:55:33.320 state of politics t sop uh i said there venezuela hangs in the balance doesn't it it's teetering on
00:55:41.160 the edge it could fall one way or the other who knows will it end up some sort of terrible iraq
00:55:45.760 bloodbath nightmare or will they quite quickly with loads of american boots on the ground and
00:55:52.680 it's another forever war or will it quite quickly you know sort itself out hold free elections and
00:55:59.700 get on with it get their economy out of the doldrums and there's no need for any u.s
00:56:04.080 further u.s intervention whatsoever because venezuela in iraq let's be fair are very very
00:56:09.620 very different beasts very different beasts right maduro wasn't like saddam wasn't holding together
00:56:19.200 murderous religious sectarian factions that were just ready to massacre each other that's not the
00:56:26.760 case in venezuela is it and then it's a much more civilized country than iraq ever was they've got a
00:56:33.280 civil society haven't they used to so the hope is the hope is that though it is still clouded in
00:56:43.360 confusion at the moment that those those clouds of confusion will clear quite quickly and venezuela can
00:56:49.140 can start start over again in some news way okay so i thought i'd have a quick look at twitter there's
00:56:56.760 a million and one different sort of news accounts on twitter aren't there and so i won't use the same
00:57:02.060 one every single day but it's worth looking at twitter um or you know because a lot of people
00:57:07.900 get their news just from twitter now don't they usually things break on twitter first don't they
00:57:13.300 i've seen things big things breaking all over twitter hours before the legacy corporate mainstream media
00:57:21.460 run with any of it hours sometimes um so what are they saying here obviously they're going with the
00:57:28.120 maduro thing um there's that there's that lady delcy rodriguez
00:57:34.380 been part of the problem for years when when uh on the news conference with trump yesterday
00:57:43.040 someone said to him have you spoken to the opposition leaders there were various opposition
00:57:49.240 leaders um in venezuela uh more than one one's a guy one's a woman anyway they said trump have you
00:57:57.880 spoken to them and he's just like no and that was it there's basically it was just like basically
00:58:01.520 no anyway next question what else there was no real there was nothing there it didn't seem like
00:58:09.500 so again we'll see what we'll see what happens uh here talking about there's a petition to dissolve
00:58:17.380 parliament and call a general election now hundred thousand signatures on that of course
00:58:23.720 sir queer starmer uh will do no such thing um because he's like an old school red really
00:58:34.340 certainly a pinko he will hold on to power to the last possible moment there's no way for all his
00:58:41.580 weakness the one thing he's not weak about is holding on to his own position classic leftist
00:58:48.720 that's it god damn socialist um what's this greece has closed its airspace with all flights to and
00:58:57.280 from the country cancelled following a reported technical failure that knocked out key air traffic
00:59:02.100 control radio frequencies according to initial reports okay that's news to me i was reading that
00:59:07.580 in real time for the first time there so greece uh stelios is stelios back in today harry do you know
00:59:14.100 i'm actually not sure yeah so i wonder if stelios is uh trapped in greece because he's gone home to
00:59:21.840 greece for the holidays so it may well be that stelios our lotus eater stelios is is trapped in
00:59:29.700 greece i don't know okay we're coming up to the hour so thank you harry yeah no it was good
