00:01:37.880 power or something like that because again the papers don't they're not interested in any of

00:01:41.520 that stuff corporate mainstream media not interested in talking about that at all

00:01:46.580 at all so i'll mention it though i'll mention though normal people that experience the world

00:01:53.840 in a normal way all right should we get into it what are the what are the fleet street what's the

00:01:58.720 papers what's the british print media banging on about this morning what are they trying to tell

00:02:03.400 you is or isn't important what are they lying to you about by omission harry can you bring that up

00:02:07.940 on the screen there you go lovely high production values here at load seaters no expense spared

00:02:14.420 trump's expletive laden tirade and u.s airman's got gun miracle escape like top gun got gun

00:02:26.920 not a great word play okay trump's expletive latent laden tirade i think he might have

00:02:36.700 deleted it off truth social i had a quick look for it this morning on truth social like live

00:02:41.280 in real time and i didn't see it but anyway obviously people saved it and screenshotted it

00:02:45.580 so we'll have a look at that all right the guardian oh the guardian first thing oh too early

00:02:52.660 for that supposed to be a time of a day of remembrance and relaxation and stuff you don't

00:02:58.480 want to the guardian oh oh dear all right trump threatens to unleash hell on my signal unleash

00:03:06.460 on iran in expletive laden tirade so just get into it that's a picture is that in tehran or is

00:03:14.860 that in israel i can't remember i think that's it i think oh no that's a university in tehran

00:03:19.220 that's now in rubble okay so trump on truth social trump said and i'll keep it clean because

00:03:27.680 this is the bow show if you ever watch state of politics state of politics mother show with

00:03:32.840 nate history uh mr h reviews nate um that's uncensored i don't mind a swear word myself

00:03:41.000 i think they're quite often funny if they're dropped at the right place at the right moment

00:03:44.660 can be very good i think but on the bow show we keep it clean super clean so i won't tell you the

00:03:49.680 exact words trump put but he said on truth social um open open the effing straight is what he said

00:03:59.740 Like directly talking to the Iranians 1.00

00:04:02.220 Open the effing straight you crazy bees 1.00

00:04:04.860 You crazy bee 0.99

00:04:06.760 Studs 0.99

00:04:08.800 You get it

00:04:09.600 That's what he said

00:04:10.740 Fair enough isn't it I suppose

00:04:14.500 I mean it's not very

00:04:16.040 Statesman like but

00:04:17.780 It's like their last warning

00:04:20.760 He's said hasn't he a number of times

00:04:22.160 At first like he gave them a

00:04:25.560 Like a

00:04:27.060 48 hour window

00:04:29.140 To open it

00:04:30.560 And then he said

00:04:31.080 Because there might be peace talks going on

00:04:33.560 Maybe through Pakistan 0.99

00:04:34.740 I'll give you another 10 days

00:04:36.700 Now that 10 days is up

00:04:38.720 So this is like

00:04:40.380 That feels like his last last threat

00:04:42.660 Basically

00:04:44.000 Like your last chance

00:04:45.980 Do it now

00:04:46.600 Otherwise well

00:04:47.840 Otherwise he will unleash hell

00:04:49.080 He will make their lives a living hell 0.94

00:04:51.000 Or you'll be living in hell 0.60

00:04:52.380 That's what he said 0.55

00:04:52.940 You will be living in hell 0.99

00:04:54.440 You crazy bees 0.98

00:04:56.700 um so the other indication is that it will be on tuesday 8 p.m tuesday 8 p.m eastern time 0.90

00:05:08.040 8 p.m like new york time or whatever eastern standard time which is like 1 a.m british time

00:05:16.180 for example so because he also tweeted that he just put 8 p.m tuesday so very very the wee hours

00:05:25.020 of Wednesday for us Brits. Hell is going to be unleashed. He calls it power plant and

00:05:33.900 bridge day. It's going to blow up all their power plants and bridges. So escalation, just

00:05:44.100 escalation, no de-escalation, because it doesn't look like, there's no real, I don't think,

00:05:49.340 real possibility that Iran is going to fold or capitulate to any of this. In fact, if

00:05:54.940 quickly go to... Harry, can you bring up my thing again?

00:05:57.900 Yeah, if I quickly go to, I think, ITV News,

00:06:01.460 their top story... Yeah, so their top story is

00:06:03.940 Iran rejects Trump's foul-mouthed demand to reopen straight-and-form news.

00:06:09.120 The essential oil waterway will, quote,

00:06:11.500 never return to its former state, especially for America and Israel,

00:06:15.940 Iran forces have said.

00:06:18.020 So, Iran are unlikely to, like,

00:06:22.800 Even though Trump's used the F word and the B word on Truth Social

00:06:27.300 The Iranians are not 1.00

00:06:29.880 They're not going to capitulate to that

00:06:33.080 It doesn't look like, does it?

00:06:36.880 So starting 8pm Eastern on Tuesday

00:06:40.180 Expect loads more things to blow up in Iran 1.00

00:06:43.820 And the whole region, of course

00:06:45.300 Alright, so that was the exclusive laden tirade

00:06:50.880 okay oh a bit of story about yay mr west kanye west pepsi drops sponsorship of kanye west led

00:07:02.820 event so there's like a music festival takes place in london what is it the wireless festival

00:07:08.460 i think it's in hyde park or is it finsbury park or green park i think it's hyde park anyway

00:07:15.140 every year there's like a relatively large well depends you know it's nowhere near the size of

00:07:20.660 glastonbury or reading or something but there's a i think 50 odd thousand people go to this like

00:07:24.620 wireless festival every year in a park in london and yay was supposed to be there or has been

00:07:30.780 booked for it and pepsi was like the main sponsor um the drink pepsi not pepsi out of pepsi and

00:07:39.180 shirley and um they've pulled they've pulled out because kanye is a nazi remember

00:07:50.660 he's not is he a German national socialist workers party Kanye he did

00:08:01.460 release a song called Kyle Hitler oh didn't he didn't he Harry is that right 0.86

00:08:05.040 because I don't follow Kanye I don't buy Kanye West's music did it that is right

00:08:09.420 Isn't it

00:08:10.320 Right

00:08:14.280 It's what

00:08:17.500 Oh

00:08:21.780 Oh okay

00:08:22.880 Well there you go

00:08:25.680 And I do remember he went on

00:08:29.180 He went on someone's podcast

00:08:31.080 Was it Alex Jones maybe

00:08:33.100 He went on some podcast or other

00:08:35.320 And he was talking about

00:08:36.480 Talking about the Nazis

00:08:38.660 And Hitler and things 0.75

00:08:39.900 Was he

00:08:40.240 I think he had a pop

00:08:41.660 Netty

00:08:42.180 Didn't he come out

00:08:42.880 With like a little net

00:08:43.860 Like a little child

00:08:44.680 Do I remember this

00:08:45.480 Is this

00:08:45.800 Is this a crazy fever

00:08:47.000 Dream of mine

00:08:47.620 Or did he go on a podcast

00:08:48.680 And have like a little

00:08:50.060 Kiddy's fishing net

00:08:51.720 And start talking about

00:08:53.200 Netty

00:08:53.660 Meaning Netanyahu 0.90

00:08:54.680 Netanyahu

00:08:55.220 Netty

00:08:55.640 He did that didn't he

00:08:56.800 Harry

00:08:57.740 Do you recall that

00:08:58.760 Do you know that

00:08:59.260 Yeah

00:08:59.900 You did some

00:09:01.220 Okay yeah right

00:09:04.700 But it's all

00:09:07.460 perform I would have thought it's all performative he's not actually you know I doubt he's like read

00:09:12.900 Mein Kampf I doubt he's read anything I doubt he's read Mein Kampf I doubt he's steeped in the history

00:09:19.540 of the interwar years of Germany like yeah he knows all about the Freier Corps for example

00:09:25.540 yeah right I doubt it seems all performative to me I doubt he knows anything of the history

00:09:32.140 is truly an actual like neo-nazi highly doubt it anyway he claims he went on an apology tour didn't

00:09:40.780 he a little while ago not a tour but he just apologized saying oh i'm really sorry i was

00:09:46.540 going through you say his defense was that he was going through some sort of bipolar episode

00:09:51.740 and he deeply regrets everything he did during that period and he's sorry

00:09:56.140 Anyway, that's apparently not enough

00:09:59.900 Pepsi drops their sponsorship

00:10:03.560 Loads of people from Keir Starmer

00:10:06.400 The Prime Minister's chiming in on this

00:10:08.260 It's terrible, he shouldn't be allowed in the country

00:10:11.380 And he shouldn't be allowed to

00:10:12.700 You shouldn't platform him anymore

00:10:14.780 Ed Davey jumped on it

00:10:16.260 Loads and loads of people jumped on it

00:10:17.920 Of course, I don't know if it was the actual Board of Deputies

00:10:20.780 But various Jewish groups

00:10:22.180 All like, yeah, no

00:10:23.880 You know, cut him out

00:10:26.460 Don't allow him to perform

00:10:28.400 You know, he shouldn't really 0.61

00:10:29.980 He's just an anti-Semite

00:10:32.240 And he shouldn't be allowed to 0.87

00:10:33.680 Perform anymore or something

00:10:35.860 So, okay

00:10:37.260 The Kanye West fallout

00:10:41.680 There you go

00:10:44.060 That's what happens

00:10:45.700 Alright, let's have a quick

00:10:48.600 Keep going

00:10:49.440 Harry, can you bring in

00:10:50.540 Thanks

00:10:51.800 Okay, what else have we got?

00:10:53.760 the times the venerable times pregnancy deaths in the NHS at highest level for

00:10:59.640 two decades that's weird isn't it because we keep giving loads and loads

00:11:03.540 and loads more money to the NHS keep importing loads and loads and loads of

00:11:07.620 the third world to be our doctors and nurses and that's a great thing

00:11:11.520 according to the globalist paradigm there's no way the NHS could survive

00:11:15.480 without that and yet the care people get is getting worse and worse

00:11:23.760 So you invest hundreds of millions more, so it's billions, invest in billions, endless nurses from Nigeria or wherever, because that's the best thing to do, pregnancy deaths at the highest for two decades.

00:11:39.340 all right all right heaven forbid we could suggest that all these people we've got from the third

00:11:47.340 world to work for the nhs are basically incompetent can't say that that would be racist would it that

00:11:53.060 would be that would just be bigoted that would just be that would be nazi may as well be Kanye 0.91

00:12:00.460 West okay new Trump deadline to open straight or face hell presence tirade is

00:12:08.620 US colonel rescued from Iran okay that's the other big story this morning we've

00:12:12.040 got to talk about the E&E escape escape and evasion of a downed F-15 fast jet

00:12:22.140 pilot was wasn't the pilot it was the it's the two-seater one isn't it strike

00:12:32.740 expert dude and he was he was on the run in iran for like a while like what 36 hours odd

00:12:41.320 but then they eventually the america both the iranians and the americans are trying to capture

00:12:46.760 him save him rescue him um well the iranians capture him and the americans rescue him

00:12:51.460 and the americans did rescue him first just about there's loads to the story it's really

00:12:56.600 interesting we'll talk about it a bit later in a bit more detail because I think it's a really

00:13:00.800 interesting story so a bit later perhaps when we get to the website so talk about it in in more

00:13:05.500 detail but that's basically in a nutshell what happened a downed pilot the Iranians nearly got

00:13:12.320 him sorry not pilot the Iranians nearly got him but didn't okay all right and there's um there's

00:13:22.220 There's the Prince of Wales, William

00:13:24.000 And his wife, Catherine

00:13:26.520 And their kids

00:13:27.660 Going to an Easter service yesterday

00:13:30.000 Kate there, looking radiant as ever

00:13:34.340 Alright, the mirror

00:13:35.540 Radiant Kate

00:13:37.620 Look, George is growing

00:13:40.260 Look, George is quite tall now

00:13:41.900 He should be king one day

00:13:43.940 You would have thought, right?

00:13:45.960 That kid, King of England

00:13:48.120 Right

00:13:49.660 President hits new low, unhinged

00:13:52.600 This is the media, before the MAGA crew 0.97

00:13:54.880 Before the pro-Trump American people bite my head off

00:13:58.020 This is the mirror's words, not mine 0.96

00:14:00.100 Unhinged

00:14:01.640 He's hit a new low

00:14:04.280 Trump fires F-word tirade at Iran chiefs 0.99

00:14:09.380 He threatens crazy leaders with living hell 0.90

00:14:12.140 War crimes warning on US missile targets

00:14:15.360 one thing i will say about that that that the the f and the b word truth social post

00:14:23.720 it's sort of it is a bit your job really isn't it isn't it when you're a leader even if you're

00:14:30.500 just the ceo of a company let alone like a national leader let alone the leader of the free world

00:14:36.300 isn't it part of your role to be to keep your call isn't that a big part of it like sort of

00:14:44.940 at all times like you're above losing your cool at all times aren't you not not that i personally

00:14:51.440 but this is just me personally i don't think that using the off the odd f-bomb is losing your cool

00:14:56.280 but a lot of the world do think that right a lot of the world are going to say that the optics of

00:15:01.960 it people are just going to say that it's like you're unhinged right let's see what the mirror

00:15:05.200 go with oh you use the f word right unhinged it's not really is it but that's what they're going to

00:15:10.320 say. Oh, he's dropped an F-bomb. He's lost his mind. Anyway, that's what they're going

00:15:21.660 to say, aren't they? But there you go. I do think if you're the President or the Prime

00:15:27.080 Minister or the Chancellor of Germany or whatever it is, it is part of the role to seem above

00:15:35.540 it a lot all the time all the time really so but that's who trump is right if you haven't got it

00:15:42.900 by now he shoots from the hip i've said it a number of times he's a new york rich kid

00:15:49.700 property tycoon dude he's gonna drop f-bombs right he's gonna he takes them he takes the

00:15:57.620 mick out of here he's a wise guy he's like a new york wise guy really i don't you don't know that

00:16:01.940 about trump yet how don't he's unhinged no he's just being trump

00:16:09.460 that's what that's what i think i think the mirror

00:16:13.460 just well they've got tds haven't they the mirror is actually in my opinion one of the more tds

00:16:19.860 sufferers of the tabloids and that's saying something right their tds seems slightly worse

00:16:28.820 than a lot of the others perhaps not as bad as the metro or something but all right the daily

00:16:34.580 mail complete globalist slop trying to pretend to you that they're not trump drops f-bomb on iran

00:16:44.900 now the real bombing can begin 0.95

00:16:50.820 oh lovely cup of tea but that's done now all right move on to my backup water

00:16:56.340 Trump drops F-bomb on Iran

00:16:59.800 After dramatic airman rescue

00:17:01.660 Unhinged president issues foul-mouthed ultimatum

00:17:04.720 See? 0.95

00:17:06.580 You know that's what they're going to say

00:17:07.900 But then, Trump's got to appeal to

00:17:10.820 Americans first and foremost, right?

00:17:15.620 Trump shouldn't, and doesn't, care

00:17:17.980 What editorial line the Daily Mail goes with

00:17:21.140 If he wants to appeal to

00:17:25.840 israelis or pro-war americans then they're gonna like they're gonna like him getting tough and

00:17:34.760 dropping an f-bomb aren't they they're gonna be like yeah go for it he cares about that way more

00:17:41.900 than what what some writer and editor at the mirror or the mail are gonna write doesn't he

00:17:48.580 david beckham and posh spice there for some reason don't care okay the financial times

00:17:54.900 uh trump renews iran threat in bid to reopen hormuz strait power plants and bridges in u.s

00:18:03.580 sites ultimatum after f-15 airmen rescued okay we'll talk about the airman thing i promise you

00:18:10.060 in a bit because i want to do a little bit of detail actually a little bit rather than just

00:18:14.040 mention it in passing easter prayers tehran residents seek solace in ritual and refuge

00:18:57.320 Stabs him in the side

00:18:58.480 Which is actually a mercy

00:18:59.820 Right

00:19:00.980 Some people might think

00:19:04.020 I remember thinking

00:19:04.800 When I was a kid

00:19:05.380 Oh it's one last

00:19:06.680 One last horrible bit

00:19:08.740 Of torture and pain

00:19:10.420 For a Roman soldier 0.98

00:19:12.360 To stab Jesus 1.00

00:19:13.620 in the side. But no, that's a mercy. You'll bleed out quickly and die quickly. Because 0.99

00:19:18.920 if you're up there being crucified, it could be days before you die of exposure or hypothermia

00:19:25.980 or suffocation, like suspension trauma. Being crucified. The real, real reality of a crucifixion

00:19:32.380 is a horrifying, terrifying method of execution. Terrifying. You could be up there for days,

00:19:39.540 Possibly 0.82

00:19:41.100 So if someone just stabs you 0.69

00:19:44.660 And you like bleed out 0.91

00:19:45.840 Within a few minutes

00:19:46.660 They're doing you a favour

00:19:48.100 Right

00:19:48.600 So anyway

00:19:49.780 That's Friday isn't it

00:19:51.140 They put him in the tomb

00:19:52.940 Roll the big stone across

00:19:55.580 In fact some people

00:19:58.720 Argue about that stone

00:19:59.920 Whether it was truly like

00:20:01.900 Because quite often

00:20:02.460 It's depicted as like a big

00:20:03.640 Like

00:20:04.960 Round circle thing

00:20:06.840 But anyway

00:20:07.880 Anyway

00:20:08.200 I won't get into the details of that

00:20:09.400 He's waiting a tomb and it's covered up and all of Saturday they're just mourning that Jesus of Nazareth is dead.

00:20:15.720 And then on Sunday, they find the stone to the tomb moved and Jesus isn't in there.

00:20:26.640 And if you believe in miracles, he came back to life.

00:20:30.860 I'm afraid I can't. That's one of the main reasons why I can't count myself as a practicing Christian.

00:20:36.320 I was raised Anglican and I totally accept the Christian history and heritage of my country

00:20:43.040 Said it on Friday didn't I

00:20:44.960 I love walking around an abbey or a church or a cathedral

00:20:49.000 I absolutely love it

00:20:50.440 Christian art and iconography

00:20:52.160 Love it

00:20:53.340 The history of it

00:20:54.680 Fascinating

00:20:55.520 I can't bring myself to believe in miracles

00:20:58.620 I just can't if I'm honest

00:21:00.040 It's just me

00:21:01.240 Anyway let's not get into that

00:21:03.740 Jesus rose from the dead

00:21:06.580 And then on Monday

00:21:07.820 An angel comes down and tells them

00:21:12.420 That he's risen from the dead

00:21:13.980 On Monday

00:21:14.680 He's seen, Christ is seen alive again

00:21:18.360 You know, a couple of disciples walking along the road

00:21:22.000 Suddenly some guy sidles up to him

00:21:24.180 It's only Jesus 0.95

00:21:27.140 It's only bloody Jesus 0.51

00:21:28.420 And okay, and okay

00:21:31.560 And on and on and on

00:21:32.560 Jesus walks there through another 40 odd days

00:21:35.320 You know, people doubt it

00:21:38.160 Like doubting Thomas

00:21:39.160 But then

00:21:40.600 Jesus is like, look, I'm here, I'm real

00:21:42.860 You know, you can touch my wound

00:21:44.760 Where Long China stabbed me and stuff

00:21:46.120 And then after 40 days

00:21:49.100 He does disappear off into the sunset

00:21:51.780 Literally, almost

00:21:54.540 The book of Luke is probably

00:21:59.000 The gospel of Luke is probably

00:22:00.760 Probably the best on that

00:22:02.980 But on all that stuff

00:22:05.180 So okay

00:22:06.240 And this day

00:22:07.100 Easter Monday is like continuation

00:22:08.800 Often it's sort of talked of

00:22:11.140 Like that continuation day

00:22:12.140 It's that

00:22:12.540 Not only did Christ come back to life

00:22:15.160 But he now walks with you

00:22:17.020 Continually

00:22:18.920 Sometimes you're walking down the road

00:22:22.020 And you don't know that

00:22:23.340 Christ is with you

00:22:24.420 Literally at your side

00:22:25.440 But he is

00:22:26.460 That's what they say

00:22:28.280 That's the whole thing

00:22:29.500 So okay

00:22:30.380 None of that

00:22:32.440 Easter used to be

00:22:33.480 Easter used to be

00:22:36.220 The most important thing

00:22:37.520 In the calendar

00:22:38.300 In medieval times

00:22:39.500 For example

00:22:39.920 Or pre-modern times

00:22:41.000 Like Christmas was big

00:22:42.880 Right

00:22:44.140 But Easter was

00:22:46.600 The main focal point

00:22:49.080 Of the year

00:22:49.800 Really

00:22:50.440 Far more important

00:22:53.000 Than Christmas

00:22:53.580 Easter used to be

00:22:55.020 And now it's lost

00:22:58.960 You know

00:22:59.940 it's not as big a thing is it we focus more on Christmas and presents and the Christmas tree

00:23:05.160 far more than than Easter don't we usually I mean it depends what household you're putting

00:23:09.840 but I mean it's a general rule it's a general rule Easter was a big one anyway changing times

00:23:17.140 I thought I wanted to talk a little bit about Easter seeing as it's as it's Easter Monday

00:23:22.040 okay all right all right let's move on then because the papers don't talk about it

00:23:28.240 Miliband's net zero drive fails to cut fossil fuels.

00:23:32.880 So the whole thing's a joke, isn't it?

00:23:34.220 The whole thing's pointless.

00:23:35.380 A bad joke, of course. 0.87

00:23:37.200 The whole thing's crazily pointless and mental, really.

00:23:40.560 We need to rework our entire economy

00:23:42.580 so that Ed Miliband can feel good about himself

00:23:46.600 that we're not burning many fossil fuels.

00:23:51.040 Don't worry about how many fossil fuels

00:23:53.220 like India or China are burning.

00:23:55.320 even if we were burning fossil fuels as much as we possibly could it'd be a drop in the ocean

00:24:00.880 compared to what india and china are doing man-made co2 doesn't drive climate change

00:24:09.040 i don't believe really don't okay we got him again that was a trump true social we got him

00:24:17.280 us airmen rescued in daring raid okay jobless families handed six thousand pounds in benefits

00:24:24.920 tax bomb hits middle class yeah that's uh there'll be a reworking of the of the tax rules in various

00:24:31.240 ways in britain starting i think it starts today um like they're scrapping the two child cap

00:24:37.540 benefits cap and uh people getting benefits will get a bit more than they were before

00:24:42.940 and of course taxpayers or the middle class have to pay for it all

00:24:48.020 or the government just has to borrow more money

00:24:51.840 they can barely afford to pay the interest repayments on the borrowing they've already done

00:24:57.320 okay I mean Rachel Reeves doesn't seem to particularly care or understand about any of that

00:25:03.800 doesn't seem to

00:25:04.880 okay that's leftist socialist economic theory never ever works never ever adds up

00:25:12.040 always ends in misery and penury and ultimately starvation.

00:25:17.380 All right, The Sun, Kate looking radiant.

00:25:20.380 Trump hails miracle escape, got gun.

00:25:25.860 That's poor.

00:25:26.640 Sometimes the puns are funny, I think, right?

00:25:28.900 Sometimes they're funny.

00:25:30.580 Sometimes they're so absurd that they're funny. 1.00

00:25:33.020 Sometimes they're just pathetic. 1.00

00:25:34.280 I think that one's pathetic. 1.00

00:25:35.460 Got gun. 1.00

00:25:38.840 Got and top barely rhyme, do they?

00:25:42.040 Got gun 1.00

00:25:44.060 Stupid 1.00

00:25:48.240 Airmen rescued by elite forces 1.00

00:25:50.500 Injured hero hid in rock crevice

00:25:54.380 Shall we talk about it now?

00:25:56.600 I was going to save it for a bit later

00:25:57.600 But let's talk about all the details of it now shall we

00:25:59.280 And one thing I would say here

00:26:01.260 Is if in the coming days

00:26:03.860 Or weeks or years even

00:26:05.460 Some of the details I'm about to talk about

00:26:07.560 Prove to be incorrect

00:26:09.580 Well I can only apologise

00:26:10.980 the details are only really emerging now like the exact details so if this age is what i'm

00:26:17.860 about to tell you ages poorly well so be it i can only tell you what we know as of the morning of

00:26:22.420 the sixth all right so there was an f-50 oh there's two airplanes actually but the main one the one

00:26:28.820 we're important we're interested in is an f-15 quite an old fast jet really an f-15 strike eagle

00:26:34.900 what they like designed first designed in like the 70s 1970s weren't they

00:26:39.500 and used a lot well well until this day to this day cool jet by the way i think f-14s f-15s f-16s

00:26:48.100 they're all really cool looking in my opinion super cool anyway f-15 strike eagle gets hit

00:26:54.200 it was flying over southern iran uh got hit by iranian missile missile and apparently see these

00:27:02.300 are the sorts of details that might later prove to be incorrect or just not quite exactly what

00:27:05.880 happened but anyway so far we think that the iranians had some sort of missile system a new

00:27:10.920 semi-advanced one which the f-15 wasn't able to see or register like nothing went off in their

00:27:20.220 cockpit saying you're being painted missile incoming or anything they didn't know it just

00:27:23.520 hit them sort of out of nowhere okay i mean one way or another that happened one way or another

00:27:28.760 An F-15 got shot out of the sky by the Iranians 1.00

00:27:31.360 Above the skies of southern Iran

00:27:32.960 Two people in it

00:27:35.640 The pilot himself

00:27:36.440 And then the other dude

00:27:38.000 The navigator weapons expert dude

00:27:40.180 And they both eject

00:27:42.820 And survive the initial thing

00:27:45.760 The pilot gets rescued very quickly

00:27:50.500 By the Americans

00:27:52.280 But the other guy

00:27:56.480 He's actually a colonel

00:27:57.840 I believe he's a colonel.

00:27:59.240 Call sign Dude44.

00:28:01.940 That was his call sign.

00:28:04.920 Dude44 is now in the grips of, you can only imagine,

00:28:11.780 a sort of terrifying E&E experience.

00:28:15.100 Escape and evasion.

00:28:16.400 That's what that is now.

00:28:17.660 You're deep behind enemy lines.

00:28:20.320 All you can do is try to escape and evade.

00:28:22.900 He's only got a pistol.

00:28:24.080 That's all he's armed with.

00:28:27.840 Of course, the Iranians themselves would love to capture him, ideally alive.

00:28:32.600 What a great military and, more importantly, political boon that would be for them.

00:28:36.280 They can then parade him on their TV and say, 1.00

00:28:38.760 look, the Americans are so weak and stupid, look, we've got one of their pilots, look, look, look. 1.00

00:28:45.080 It would have been a political nightmare for the Americans on some level. 1.00

00:28:49.060 Well, not exactly a nightmare, but...

00:28:50.800 I mean, in Vietnam, in all sorts of wars,

00:28:53.980 you're going to have downed pilots that get captured by the enemy.

00:28:57.440 I'm surprised that we haven't had more already

00:28:59.460 I'm surprised it hasn't happened already in this conflict

00:29:01.660 The amount of fast jet sorties and stuff

00:29:04.340 Not even fast jets

00:29:05.000 The amount of airplanes going over Iran

00:29:08.640 The fact that some haven't been shot down and captured yet already is remarkable

00:29:12.940 I can only imagine there's loads of special forces dudes all over Iran to be quite honest

00:29:17.160 The fact that none of them have been captured and paraded on Iranian TV yet

00:29:21.380 Quite remarkable

00:29:22.080 I think the Americans are doing a good job on that front

00:29:26.300 At some point it will probably happen

00:29:28.020 At some point it will probably happen

00:29:29.320 So okay

00:29:31.780 This colonel, dude 44, is on the run

00:29:34.360 Inside Iran

00:29:35.560 Apparently he injured his leg as well

00:29:38.160 He's got like a wounded leg in some way

00:29:39.900 And

00:29:41.920 And the story is

00:29:44.740 It's emerging that apparently

00:29:46.140 He

00:29:46.640 In the Iranian countryside he's swarming with 1.00

00:29:50.180 Iranians trying to find him

00:29:51.920 And he climbs up

00:29:54.300 Some sort of cliff

00:29:55.160 He climbed up some mountain or some steep ridge line

00:29:59.720 Like 7,000 foot high ridge line

00:30:02.480 Somewhere in what the Zagros Mountains, I don't know exactly

00:30:05.400 And he finds a little nook, a little crevice in the mountainside

00:30:10.840 And just hides in there for I think all of Saturday more or less

00:30:15.160 And he's got some sort of beacon, some sort of electronic device

00:30:22.440 where he can you know let the americans know where he is sort of exactly and um apparently

00:30:30.600 they did know kind of where he was more or less exact more or less exactly more or less most of

00:30:34.700 the time but he's he's deep deep deep behind enemy lines he's in the middle of iran almost you know

00:30:40.300 so okay so the race is on for the americans and the iranians to try and get him they both want

00:30:47.500 him really bad the americans no expense spared no expense spared um to get him and they launched

00:30:53.380 a massive effort to get him try and save him and uh you know no man left behind all that stuff

00:31:01.000 and they sent in some reports were saying thousands i think it's either either hundreds

00:31:08.360 high hundreds or low thousands of of servicemen were called in to try and save this dude dude 44

00:31:19.020 and like seal team six were involved in it i think hundreds of special operators

00:31:24.660 well what they did the americans flew in you know those big c-130 gunships the big

00:31:30.460 they're like the size of uh an actual airliner sort of and they flew in a couple there's like

00:31:36.720 A makeshift desert airstrip

00:31:38.360 And they flew in more than one of those

00:31:40.620 At least two of those

00:31:41.500 A whole bunch of helicopters

00:31:42.620 All sorts of stuff

00:31:43.840 Loads of special forces dudes

00:31:45.000 To try and capture him

00:31:45.920 Okay

00:31:46.440 And yeah

00:31:47.540 He managed to hide

00:31:49.400 For quite a long time

00:31:52.500 High up on this Iranian mountain ridge

00:31:55.840 Eventually

00:31:56.540 Long story short I suppose

00:31:57.600 He is rescued by the Americans

00:32:00.620 And then on their way out

00:32:04.120 or either on their way in or on their way out again the details are only sort of just emerging

00:32:09.340 two of the those c-130 gunship big airplanes were hit or damaged in some way by iranian fire

00:32:17.120 so when dude 44 and all his rescuers need to just bug out get home get safe

00:32:25.680 um they had to blow up a couple of their own i think the big i think the big c-130

00:32:33.260 airplanes had to blow them up and a couple of helicopters as well their own

00:32:37.760 helicopters were sort of damaged to the point where they probably wouldn't make

00:32:40.860 it out so they fly in more more aircraft to get everyone out and the damaged ones

00:32:46.520 that are left there they blow up themselves to stop the Iranians getting 1.00

00:32:49.700 them. Long story short everyone gets out alive no American personnel were killed

00:32:55.820 in all of this quite a remarkable success then

00:33:01.700 ultimately from their point of view

00:33:03.220 so there you go that's the story we'll see if any of those details over the coming hours or days or

00:33:11.700 years even prove to be different but that's what we're being told at the moment

00:33:16.620 colonel dude 44 is safe and well there we go injured hero hid in rock crevice

00:33:26.440 i wonder if he'll ever write a book all right harry should we uh can you there you go thanks

00:33:34.480 um just say i'm interested in all sorts of special forces raids on um epochs of the lotus eaters

00:33:41.140 my history theme show behind the paywall on lotus eaters.com considering

00:33:51.580 do you consider becoming a bronx team membership for as little as five pound a month there i've

00:33:55.780 got all sorts of history themed content just about special forces raids i did one on like

00:34:00.600 the saint nevaire did one on the iranian embassy siege did one on um when the nazis rescued

00:34:07.380 mussolini from that italian mountaintop did one all about the seals in vietnam in 1967

00:34:13.380 i'm gonna do more in the future um the various stories of um in world war ii and vietnam

00:34:23.660 Of downed pilots

00:34:26.120 All over the place

00:34:27.580 And their stories of

00:34:29.300 Escape and evasion

00:34:31.080 Later we might talk about

00:34:32.700 There's an article on the Daily Mail

00:34:34.220 We might mention

00:34:34.800 Talk about

00:34:35.260 Famous

00:34:36.420 Bat 21

00:34:38.000 An American pilot in Vietnam

00:34:40.460 Shot down over South Vietnam

00:34:41.840 They made a film about it

00:34:43.200 With Gene Hackman

00:34:43.920 If you've ever seen that

00:34:44.980 But a true story

00:34:46.500 Guy spent 11 days

00:34:48.760 Doing an escape and evasion

00:34:52.000 real life exercise but eventually was successfully rescued there's loads of stories like from world

00:35:00.040 war ii you're not always downed in or you might be down to deep behind enemy lines in enemy

00:35:05.080 territory but you're not necessarily sort of immediately fleeing from the enemy

00:35:09.980 you might be downed in like the philippines or something and you don't have to necessarily

00:35:16.640 worry about japanese soldiers or something you just have to survive in the jungles you're in

00:35:20.880 middle of nowhere and stuff surviving the jungles now it might be that endless stories of not endless

00:35:28.480 but quite a lot of stories like that as a history nerd and a military history fan i'm only a fan of

00:35:35.200 history um fascinated by all that stuff fascinated by all that stuff i wonder if this guy will ever

00:35:41.200 write a book i'd read it if he did or someone else writes a book about it anyway okay let's

00:35:46.720 move on the daily express it's a good paper being sarcastic there it's not a good paper is it it's 0.82

00:35:53.200 ridiculous it's kind of a ridiculous rag okay there's there's kate looking radiant two future 1.00

00:36:02.160 kings there all right survivor hits out at the crown prosecution service over decisions it took 0.99

00:36:10.560 Vile Betrayal of Grooming Gang Victim

00:36:14.420 Yeah

00:36:15.080 So this one particular grooming gang survivor 0.99

00:36:18.580 Who said she was sexually assaulted or raped by Pakistanis 0.94

00:36:23.440 Between the ages of 12 and 15, repeatedly 0.97

00:36:26.180 Multiple times a week

00:36:28.060 They'd get her blackout drunk 0.98

00:36:29.540 Threaten her with a gun if she said anything

00:36:32.220 A time when our Prime Minister, Keir Starmer

00:36:38.100 Was head of the CPS, the Crown Prosecution Service

00:36:40.560 The Crown Prosecution Service

00:36:42.800 Did not seem interested

00:36:44.200 In prosecuting these people

00:36:46.520 At the time

00:36:47.160 She talks of the vile betrayal of grooming gang victims

00:36:50.720 Yeah

00:36:51.000 And to this day

00:36:52.840 They're extremely reticent, aren't they

00:36:55.080 Extremely reticent about getting to the bottom of it

00:36:57.780 Put Jess Phillips in charge of it 0.92

00:36:59.440 And make it about a general purpose inquiry

00:37:01.400 Into sexual crime

00:37:02.540 Really? Really?

00:37:06.080 Rupert Lowe do an inquiry about it

00:37:07.620 Pour cold water on that

00:37:09.040 Play that down

00:37:10.760 Don't talk about that

00:37:12.040 Or even ridicule it

00:37:13.240 Yeah

00:37:14.040 A vile betrayal

00:37:15.080 Yeah

00:37:15.640 Yeah

00:37:16.920 Can't talk about that they're Pakistanis 1.00

00:37:19.160 That would be racist

00:37:19.840 I mean it is

00:37:20.400 That's literally on the front page there

00:37:22.420 A group of Pakistanis

00:37:28.580 Government not interested in that

00:37:29.740 Keir Starmer not interested in that story

00:37:32.220 That narrative

00:37:32.900 Shedding any real light on that

00:37:35.840 Getting to the bottom of it

00:37:37.000 a full hangout, rip the band-aid off, rip the plaster off, let's look at it, properly,

00:37:43.580 no, no, that would be racist, the star, Leeds win classic, cup classic, I support West Ham

00:37:53.240 United football club, don't I, Leeds beat them on penalties yesterday in the FA Cup quarter

00:37:58.460 final oh well oh well uh bookie is preparing for a big bashing one billion pound betting bonanza

00:38:08.900 just to say there's the grand national i think next weekend i think next saturday

00:38:12.320 is the grand national the biggest horse meat biggest horse race of the year of course the

00:38:17.680 grand national and despite everything that's going on in the world the daily star talks about that

00:38:24.320 Lots of people are going to bet money on that

00:38:26.340 That's news

00:38:28.680 That's the front page news according to the Star

00:38:32.060 That the Grand National is going to happen

00:38:34.660 And that people bet money on that

00:38:36.540 Wow

00:38:37.600 Wow, thanks for that the Star

00:38:40.000 Okay, they're the front pages

00:38:41.520 They're the increasingly absurd, absurd front pages

00:38:46.140 Let's look at our poll, what poll did we do?

00:38:48.740 I can't even remember what poll we did Harry

00:38:50.100 I always forget in that first half hour, 40 minutes

00:38:52.600 What we said

00:38:53.760 Okay, we asked you guys, will Trump's new offensive succeed in opening the Strait of Hormuz?

00:39:02.960 27% of you say yes, 49% of you say no, and a big chunk, 25% of you say maybe.

00:39:11.080 I mean, it's one of those polls, isn't it?

00:39:12.520 It's one of those days where the real answer, the correct answer, is a maybe.

00:39:20.720 We don't know, do we? No one knows.

00:39:22.140 if i was honest with myself and i was taking that poll i probably would have clicked maybe

00:39:26.660 not to deliberately sit on the fence not because i haven't got a clue

00:39:30.800 but because it is a maybe still the nose win it right the nose win it 49% say no

00:39:40.440 i'd probably that'd probably be my second choice is a no it doesn't look like unless the regime

00:39:48.040 completely collapses which could happen any day any hour but if it doesn't and I

00:39:53.540 suspect it doesn't I say if it collapses any day any moment I don't think it

00:39:58.480 probably will now at this point but if it did there'd be yes but I suspect not

00:40:05.040 at this point so the nose win it the nose win it with 40 and just click down

00:40:12.400 49 percent okay nearly a thousand votes all right there you go i did see trump i think about three

00:40:21.300 days ago doing a dress to the to the work to the nation and the world and then he said almost in

00:40:28.120 passing he said we never talked about regime change so no you did dude you did you did in

00:40:36.600 that first eight minute little video you did from mar-a-lago on that saturday morning when the war

00:40:40.680 started like four or five weeks ago now you definitely did all right but then he says three

00:40:50.840 days ago we never talked about regime change you you you did you did that's the thing i think most

00:40:58.960 normal people resent most about politics and politicians is when they try and tell you your

00:41:06.280 own memory is wrong. Like Big Brother. What you remember, what you saw and heard with

00:41:15.500 your own eyes and ears, that was wrong. You didn't. Normal people hate being treated like

00:41:25.580 that. They hate it. They hate it. You're rather that a politician was honest and it makes them

00:41:32.700 look bad that they got something wrong than that I'd much I personally much much more respect a

00:41:41.940 politician who said I said something a few weeks ago or two years ago or 10 years ago I was wrong

00:41:48.500 I've changed my mind I now think this my position is now this which might be 180 to the thing I

00:41:54.180 said before but things have changed I've changed my thinking has changed reality in events have

00:42:01.780 change things rather than pretend you didn't say what you said no I didn't say that or you

00:42:07.940 misunderstood what I said when I said that no no don't don't do that please please please please

00:42:12.740 it's embarrassing for both of us to do that don't do that all right all right all right let's have a

00:42:21.560 look at the websites Harry can you can you bring up my thing okay okay let's have a look at the

00:42:29.160 websites bbc what have we got oh yeah artemis artemis the 40 minutes when artemis crew loses

00:42:36.680 contact with the earth so that's tonight british time anyway it's nearly been about midnight

00:42:43.780 british summertime the apollo 2 capsule i'm sorry the artemis 2 capsule will be going around the

00:42:55.660 dark side of the moon if you believe it's real which of course i do uh we'll lose contact radio

00:43:02.220 silence radio contact for like 40 odd minutes while they go around the dark side of the moon

00:43:07.020 um yeah the furthest humans will have ever been from earth setting the new record a new altitude

00:43:14.140 record effectively right in a way um yeah and we hopefully will get a a cool new 2026 vintage

00:43:24.400 earth rise that is when you come out from the dark side of the moon you will see

00:43:29.040 the the earth rising above the lunar surface like a sunrise but it's earth rise right the classic

00:43:38.300 apollo 8 image of that is iconic isn't it and we'll get a like a super hd brand new hd version

00:43:46.720 of that it should be good looking forward to it looking forward to it looking for slightly

00:43:52.260 looking forward to how the space deniers and flat earthers are gonna how they're gonna spin it how

00:43:57.080 it's not real they'll find one pixel out of place it's not real there you go all right so yeah that's

00:44:05.420 tonight again about midnight british time that will be happening okay all right what else have

00:44:13.300 we got let's have a quick look uh well there was let's just jump ahead to uh was there something

00:44:20.540 on sky sky news going with quite a bit of uh space stuff oh loads of moon mission things

00:44:27.820 loads of moon mission stories on the daily mail there was one interesting story i thought

00:44:33.580 just to build on the downed pilot dude 44 and his escape and evasion ordeal um let's see if i

00:44:43.980 can quickly there we go here's the story here oh it's a big gamble they're saying it's a big

00:44:49.840 I suppose it is, it always is, because you might just lose

00:44:51.920 the special operators

00:44:54.160 and the pilots that go in to rescue

00:44:55.800 you

00:44:57.700 dude 44 1.00

00:44:59.180 they could just get killed

00:45:01.900 or captured themselves, right?

00:45:03.540 it could be a self-perpetuating cycle

00:45:05.700 of fail, if you're not careful

00:45:07.600 I think this is the scene where

00:45:09.860 the Americans had to blow up their own 0.99

00:45:11.620 helicopters and

00:45:12.880 transport aircraft

00:45:14.820 that got damaged

00:45:16.660 so the Americans themselves blew it up to

00:45:19.500 To prevent it from falling into the hands

00:45:21.740 Of the Iranians 1.00

00:45:22.540 Alright and in this article they talk about

00:45:25.900 Just a small number of

00:45:28.000 Other historic examples

00:45:30.000 Of such things

00:45:31.460 Daring do behind enemy lines

00:45:34.500 They talk of that Scott O'Grady

00:45:37.880 In Bosnia in 1995

00:45:39.240 That's the dude

00:45:40.540 There's that Owen Wilson film

00:45:42.240 Isn't there

00:45:44.000 I've seen that Owen Wilson film

00:45:45.240 I can't remember what the film's called

00:45:47.240 But I've seen it a couple of times

00:45:48.520 Is it just called Behind Enemy Lines

00:45:54.980 Is that what it's called

00:45:55.740 Anyway

00:45:56.060 That's a true story

00:45:57.180 That's the true dude

00:45:58.180 He's got a great deal

00:46:01.420 A US pilot

00:46:02.120 Yep

00:46:04.960 Interesting fascinating

00:46:05.780 Oh yeah

00:46:06.380 Back 21

00:46:06.900 I mentioned Back 21 didn't I

00:46:08.180 In Vietnam

00:46:10.060 He was an older gentleman

00:46:13.560 Was he

00:46:13.800 Yeah he's 53

00:46:14.540 He was 53

00:46:16.340 And he was hit at

00:46:17.780 28,000 feet, took him 16 minutes to parachute to the ground, anyway, yeah, survived behind

00:46:24.500 enemy lines for like 11 days, something like 11 days, there was a giant rescue mission

00:46:32.040 to save him, rescue him, and they did, many, many such cases, loads in World War II, Bravo

00:46:39.960 two zero don't really get so i know bravo two zero inside out i've read andy mcnab's account

00:46:47.260 of bravo two zero like a weird number of times was a little bit obsessed with it when i was like

00:46:51.720 a young teenager when i was like 14 or whatever re-read it re-read bits of it like multiple

00:46:57.380 multiple multiple times some of it may not be perfectly accurate but they weren't rescued

00:47:04.800 Chris Ryan

00:47:06.680 Was the only one that got away

00:47:09.300 I mean he writes a book called

00:47:11.020 The One That Got Away

00:47:12.000 So Chris Ryan

00:47:14.740 Rescued himself

00:47:15.840 By just walking to Syria 1.00

00:47:18.240 A remarkable feat

00:47:20.840 Of human endurance

00:47:22.340 Absolutely superhuman

00:47:24.640 Insane escape and evasion story

00:47:26.660 Chris Ryan

00:47:27.240 But Andy McNabb

00:47:30.080 Three of them were killed

00:47:32.540 In action

00:47:33.200 Chris Ryan gets away

00:47:37.980 And the other four

00:47:39.440 The other four are captured

00:47:41.280 Including Andy McNabb himself

00:47:42.800 And spend time in Iraqi prisons

00:47:46.580 Until they're eventually released

00:47:47.780 At the end of the first Gulf War

00:47:49.240 Yeah there are

00:47:52.980 There's a picture of them

00:47:53.760 Three dudes whose faces aren't

00:47:56.780 Blacked out

00:47:58.780 Because they didn't survive

00:48:00.420 legs laying there oh anyway anyway um okay i don't know why they've included this in

00:48:10.140 sort of rescue mission uh an article about rescue missions no one was rescued chris ryan rescued

00:48:16.200 himself so okay all right operation barra sierra leone brilliant story that's the brits again

00:48:22.980 in sierra leone a bunch of soldiers got surrounded and captured in sierra leone

00:48:27.820 held by just like sierra leone rebels in the jungle we mount a rescue mission classic got

00:48:37.500 them all home i think all i think did we get them all home nearly all of them anyway

00:48:42.520 classic story brilliant story an afghanistan one where um they were trying to just retrieve the

00:48:52.320 body there was some lance corporal chap oh yeah matthew ford had been killed in action and um

00:49:01.460 some marines british marines strapped themselves to the outside of an apache helicopter gunship

00:49:07.160 flew in to to get his his remains out crazy story amazing story in tebe it's an israeli one

00:49:17.760 there's like an airplane hijacked flew to Uganda

00:49:21.680 EDR means Uganda

00:49:22.960 over 100 people on board, civilians and stuff

00:49:25.960 the Israelis send special forces chaps 0.99

00:49:29.200 to the airstrip in Uganda

00:49:31.840 and rescue nearly all of them

00:49:33.920 I think 2 or 3 or 4 of them were killed

00:49:36.240 but they rescued nearly all of them

00:49:38.980 so again sort of an example of a near perfect

00:49:44.020 special forces rescue

00:49:46.400 that is more like basically more like a rescue or hostage situation anyway

00:49:49.280 Benjamin Netanyahu's older brother was killed in that

00:49:52.600 the Israeli special forces chaps only lost one dude

00:49:55.520 and it was Bibby's older brother

00:49:57.760 alright

00:50:03.960 interesting though, again if you're a history military or any sort of history nerd

00:50:08.960 special forces operations and raids

00:50:11.360 fascinating, the sun's leading with it

00:50:14.700 The greatest escape

00:50:15.720 The best escape

00:50:17.140 The greatest escape

00:50:18.220 American escape

00:50:19.900 Yeah

00:50:21.640 This dude

00:50:22.360 People were shoplifting in Waitrose

00:50:24.840 He worked in Waitrose

00:50:25.840 People were stealing Easter eggs

00:50:29.880 He confronted them or even tackled one

00:50:31.880 He gets sacked

00:50:32.660 Alright

00:50:33.660 Waitrose just want people to steal from them, do they?

00:50:44.700 Okay, something about Andrew and Edward. Do not care. Kate looking radiant again. Look, big giant mobs of black and brown kids going absolutely berserk. Cops trying to deal with it. 1.00

00:51:01.180 Or we're not allowed to notice 0.70

00:51:03.840 That they're nearly 99% black and brown kids

00:51:06.080 We're not allowed to notice that 0.89

00:51:07.140 We're just going to call them feral youths

00:51:09.700 Hooded youths 1.00

00:51:11.920 That they're barbarians

00:51:15.240 That they're at odds with civilisation

00:51:17.120 If you go round in giant mobs

00:51:18.820 Smashing things up, stealing everything you can get

00:51:21.860 And just relying on the fact

00:51:23.960 That there's not enough police

00:51:25.120 That's sort of

00:51:27.880 At odds with civilisation itself isn't it

00:51:30.100 With the rule of law itself

00:51:31.800 With law and order doing that

00:51:33.920 Just safety in numbers

00:51:35.260 Just safety in a giant mob

00:51:36.620 Or go around causing criminal damage and theft

00:51:40.160 On a giant scale

00:51:41.100 Oh if anyone tries to stop you though 0.99

00:51:44.360 You'll smash them up as well 0.99

00:51:46.500 Great 0.98

00:51:47.120 Brilliant

00:51:47.820 That's Britain now 0.84

00:51:50.480 That's the Britain we live in now

00:51:52.200 They do that

00:51:53.220 Lucy let me be worried

00:51:54.460 She's going to get killed in prison 1.00

00:51:55.780 Okay 1.00

00:51:59.680 Some eccentric squatter

00:52:03.280 Is living on the front porch

00:52:05.140 Of a 200 million pound

00:52:07.040 Townhouse in London

00:52:08.480 Okay, alright, let's just move on

00:52:11.360 Oh great, it's knocking 10 too

00:52:13.180 Shall we just have a look

00:52:14.820 Oh, there's one thing in Le Monde I thought we'd look at

00:52:16.960 Le Monde

00:52:17.660 The French newspaper

00:52:20.780 Top story on Le Monde

00:52:22.680 Says, on immigration 1.00

00:52:24.700 Spain moves against

00:52:26.900 The tide of its European neighbours 1.00

00:52:28.640 He says, citing economic and moral arguments, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's socialist

00:52:38.720 government is preparing to grant legal status to 500,000 undocumented workers, most from

00:52:46.620 Latin America. The plan brings hope to 840,000 foreign nationals living without papers in

00:52:54.160 Spain.

00:52:58.640 and make their way across the Pyrenees and to Calais if they want now

00:53:05.480 well, if and when they get documentation

00:53:08.040 or even before that

00:53:09.460 let alone

00:53:12.700 how can the Spanish people 1.00

00:53:16.100 be voting for this

00:53:17.820 is that what they

00:53:19.800 wanted when they voted in

00:53:21.580 their socialist government

00:53:23.060 Sanchez's socialist government, is that what they really wanted

00:53:26.140 They wanted something like knocking a million foreign nationals living in Spain

00:53:33.200 Just to be given Spanish citizenship and the right to remain 1.00

00:53:36.420 Is that really what they wanted?

00:53:38.100 I mean, if it is, it's suicidal, isn't it?

00:53:40.800 It's suicidal

00:53:41.560 And damages the rest of Europe as well, of course, ultimately 0.71

00:53:46.560 A socialism for you

00:53:50.700 They mean to destroy your country

00:53:53.020 Wherever you are

00:53:54.600 They want to destroy it

00:53:57.120 Be in no doubt

00:53:59.660 Be in no doubt

00:54:00.620 Alright, let's have a look at this day in history

00:54:04.040 What happened on this day in history

00:54:05.220 Down through the centuries, what happened of notes

00:54:06.720 Have a look, 6th of April

00:54:07.940 Nothing about the resurrection of Christ

00:54:12.400 Or the continuation

00:54:13.200 Or anything like that

00:54:14.980 Because the liturgical dates aren't set in stone

00:54:18.700 Easter week, Holy week

00:54:21.640 moves around depending on various things it's not always the same day so that's why it's not

00:54:28.640 included here but okay let's have a look on the on this day in 46 bc battle of thapsus

00:54:34.120 that's when julius caesar defeats uh metallus scipio not to be confused with any of the other

00:54:40.440 scipios metallus scipio and cato cato the younger battle of thapsus big one it's not the complete

00:54:48.020 end of Caesars Civil Wars but it's it's very nearly he's largely got it done

00:54:56.420 after Thapsis I mean Harry 0.96

00:55:05.180 what's the betting do you think I've got long-form content all about the career

00:55:09.980 of Julius Caesar and the life and career of Cato the Younger on Epochs do you

00:55:17.340 think i have you bet your sweet ass i have i think some of my best content among my best content out 0.88

00:55:28.200 of 200 knocking 260 odd videos now all long form hundreds of hours of content some of my best ones 0.97

00:55:34.500 i did i think it's a three-part series on kato kato the younger those three videos are among

00:55:39.580 my best ones i think i think the story of kato the younger is absolutely fascinating he's he

00:55:45.420 might be my favourite character from the age of Caesar and Pompey. He's infuriating and brilliant

00:55:52.520 all at the same time. Cato the Younger. Love it. So I actually talk about The Back of Thapsus

00:55:57.240 more than once on Epochs. I mean, I've got a load of stuff on Pompey as well. So certainly in the

00:56:03.320 Caesar one, I've got a giant series on Caesar. What was it, 15 part, 20 part, 30 part? I can't

00:56:09.560 remember. Stupid number of episodes just about Caesar. So I'll talk about The Back of Thapsus 0.99

00:56:15.400 there and of course the cato one because cato loses isn't killed on the battlefield

00:56:23.880 retreats back to the city and then kills himself commit suicide so caesar can't grant him clemency

00:56:30.840 so that's the end of cato the younger after the battle of thapses that was his last chance

00:56:35.960 his side needed to win that and they didn't all right okay could talk all about that on and on

00:56:42.440 Harry, can you bring up?

00:56:44.900 There you go, thanks

00:56:45.660 Okay, on this day in 1453

00:56:48.960 Turkish forces under Sultan Mehmed II

00:56:51.320 Mehmed the Conqueror 0.97

00:56:52.360 Begin the siege of Byzantine Empire's capital 0.89

00:56:55.400 Constantinople, now Istanbul

00:56:56.920 Which falls on May the 29th

00:57:00.160 The Ottomans have been trying to take Istanbul for centuries 0.94

00:57:04.320 Centuries

00:57:07.040 And always failed

00:57:09.500 Because the walls, the Theodosian walls

00:57:11.940 were just a bit too good people say walls don't work in a number of ways physically militarily

00:57:16.580 and politically they do they nearly always do they're really good if your walls are good enough

00:57:21.340 they'll keep you safe four centuries well in the pre-modern age anyway maybe it brings up some

00:57:28.720 massive guns massive massive guns and anyway eventually it does fall but we talked about it

00:57:35.680 before, didn't we? A week or so ago. 1453, giant turning point in history. There's various

00:57:42.220 things to anchor in your mind when you're trying to learn history, trying to get a chronology

00:57:47.020 of everything that went on. There's various anchor points, right? 1588, the Spanish Armada,

00:57:54.180 or 1945, the end of World War II, or whatever it is. 1453 is a big one. Did something happen

00:58:01.700 in the Middle Ages, which side of 1453 does it fall? And you can start piecing together things

00:58:10.380 in your mind. Okay, giant turning point in history, when Mehmed the Conqueror eventually takes 0.80

00:58:15.960 Constantinople, ending the Byzantine Empire. Okay, on this day in 1652, the Cape Colony,

00:58:22.440 the first European settlement in South Africa, is established by the Dutch East India Company.

00:58:27.860 there you go that's why there's such a big sort of dutch influence in or was in south africa

00:58:37.140 because they actually got there first there you go okay on this day in 1917 the united the united

00:58:45.060 states declares war on germany and enters world war one on the side of the allies so we talked a

00:58:51.040 bit about that the other day as well didn't we um like that that mexican communique remember we're

00:58:56.100 talking about that where the germans said to mexico look come into the war on our side

00:59:00.660 and we'll help you reconquer places like texas and arizona parts of the united states which

00:59:09.760 used to belong to mexico it's like a while ago it was like 70 odd years before that but

00:59:15.440 i mean just about within living memory not really within living memory i would say

00:59:19.400 but the british intercepted that communique and just immediately told the americans

00:59:24.440 and that swayed American opinion apparently Woodrow Wilson was like right that's the final straw

00:59:30.020 we're getting involved in World War One now all right on this day in 1994

00:59:36.580 a plane carrying the Rwandan president and the Burundian president is shot down by a surface

00:59:43.700 to air missile, pardon me, a surface to air missile, I do beg your pardon, may my eyes

00:59:57.400 water that, pardon me, the Rwandan president and the Burundian president are shot down

01:00:08.980 by surface to air missile abruptly ending negotiations peace negotiations and sparking

01:00:15.140 the rwandan genocide those responsible were never identified the rwandan genocide

01:00:21.640 crazy crazy thing i remember going i remember when it was years ago now probably 15 20 years

01:00:28.220 ago deciding at one point i need to know exactly what happened there i need to know the details

01:00:32.700 of exactly the chronology what happened in what order who did what and said what

01:00:36.840 who didn't do what how it all went down long complicated story can't go into it here just

01:00:42.360 simply haven't got time but very very dark of course of course stating the obvious there it's

01:00:48.360 very very dark but um well where to begin i just i just can't go into here it's not a history show

01:00:55.240 but okay one of the spark points was that that airplane was shot down that was sort of a lot

01:01:02.140 of people say that was sort of the final it had been bubbling away for years years and years and

01:01:09.100 years and in the months leading up to it sort of coming simmering up coming to the boil a rolling

01:01:15.560 boil and then that happened and it it happened the genocide happens crazy thing all right okay

01:01:26.260 should we have a look at our rumble rents and super chats should we do that should do that

01:01:30.960 Harry. All right, let's have a look. What have we got? Monday the 6th of April, we've got our

01:01:36.280 Rumble Rants. We always do the Rumble Rants first, don't we? All right, what have we got? Global

01:01:40.200 Church History in at number one, reigning, defending, undisputed champion of Bosho Super

01:01:48.000 Chats. Or Rumble Rants, rather. Global Church History says, on this day, in 1320, the Declaration

01:01:54.700 Of Arbroath is signed

01:01:56.100 That's when the Scottish 0.86

01:02:00.360 Barons and magnates

01:02:02.500 Appeal to the Pope

01:02:04.500 Isn't it?

01:02:06.400 To say we're our own thing

01:02:07.680 Scotland's its own thing

01:02:09.280 1320 so that's going to be the age of

01:02:12.740 Edward II

01:02:14.900 Edward II is it?

01:02:17.600 Must be

01:02:17.940 I think

01:02:18.600 Yeah the Declaration of Arbroath 0.85

01:02:21.960 Scotland because everyone was still Catholic back then 1.00

01:02:24.400 There'd been no Protestant Reformation or anything

01:02:27.060 So the Scottish saying

01:02:28.940 Hey, the Pope

01:02:30.780 Recognise us as our own sovereign thing

01:02:33.160 Please

01:02:33.900 Okay, where else did you say

01:02:37.120 In 1722

01:02:39.560 Jacob

01:02:42.060 Roggeveen

01:02:44.120 Discovers Easter Island

01:02:45.580 That's interesting, the story of Easter Island

01:02:47.720 Again, a fascinating thing

01:02:48.820 When Europeans first went there 0.56

01:02:51.660 The people

01:02:54.060 on easter island descended from um descended from the native peoples of the pacific islands

01:03:03.640 somehow they'd got to easter island which is fantastically remote tiny tiny spot speck of land

01:03:11.200 in the in the uh western pacific ocean crazy that when europeans got there there was anyone there

01:03:17.120 it's crazy that it wasn't uninhabited but it wasn't people went there found it briefly was

01:03:23.100 just like oh this is a thing okay moved on nobody went back there for quite a while like a generation

01:03:28.840 or quite a few years anyway no one returned europeans returned i mean and then when they did

01:03:33.340 they found that the entire culture that was there and sort of imploded and destroyed itself in

01:03:38.320 various ways and changed their religion and culture in loads of ways because that first

01:03:45.300 landing sort of blew their mind they thought they were the only people in the world they thought

01:03:49.880 their little easter island was the only bit of land in the world they'd lost contact with the

01:03:54.120 rest of the pacific islanders because easter island is that remote they thought they they

01:03:59.160 were the only people in the world and it blew their mind when they realized they weren't and

01:04:05.500 in fact they were way behind in terms of technology and stuff it blew their mind

01:04:10.600 their whole ancestor worship culture seems to have suffered a big hit they started doing some

01:04:18.360 birdman culture thing instead anyway again can't talk about here the story of easter island

01:04:24.100 absolutely absolutely fascinating i love it in fact i need to brush up on it it's been a few

01:04:28.520 years since i brushed up on all the details of it okay all right i'd love to go there myself

01:04:33.880 it's difficult to get to though really difficult you have to basically go to probably go to chile

01:04:38.740 and then charter a plane or something it's expensive and very difficult to get to but

01:04:45.500 I'd love to visit it.

01:04:47.340 All right.

01:04:49.060 Oh, you also say, on this day,

01:04:51.160 was the first abdication of Napoleon.

01:04:53.340 Napoleon I.

01:04:54.560 The Napoleon.

01:04:55.940 Bonaparte.

01:04:56.800 In 1814.

01:04:59.920 Because, of course,

01:05:01.280 we had to make him abdicate twice, didn't we?

01:05:05.800 The first time the Russians get to Paris, 0.99

01:05:08.380 he abdicates, we put him on Elba,

01:05:09.740 he escapes from Elba,

01:05:11.520 has another whole campaign, 100 days,

01:05:13.520 eventually defeated at Waterloo.

01:05:15.500 and then sent to Helena, forced to abdicate for a second time,

01:05:18.960 sent to St Helena, where he never escaped from there.

01:05:21.860 All right.

01:05:22.480 Interesting.

01:05:23.080 Thanks, Global Church History.

01:05:24.600 Nearly always, if not always, brilliant Rumble Rant or Superchurch you send in.

01:05:29.200 Really appreciate it.

01:05:30.100 Thank you, sir.

01:05:31.460 Fortean Barber says,

01:05:32.640 Morning, Beau.

01:05:33.360 Hope you had a fantastic weekend.

01:05:34.940 Yeah, it was good.

01:05:35.340 Thank you.

01:05:35.600 It was great.

01:05:36.280 I did until I saw more solar panels on good farmland.

01:05:39.940 I did see

01:05:41.900 I did see we're going to pull out some gas

01:05:46.040 But that's not oil

01:05:47.120 We need that more

01:05:48.580 Okay

01:05:50.880 I mean

01:05:51.540 Yeah, Britain needs to start

01:05:54.240 Drilling baby drill

01:05:56.360 Drill baby drill

01:05:58.220 We need to use the North Sea reserves, don't we?

01:06:01.700 It's obviously

01:06:02.780 Our way out of this

01:06:04.940 Few countries have even got an option

01:06:06.840 To do something like that

01:06:07.980 the fact that we've got that option

01:06:11.140 and aren't doing it

01:06:12.300 is bizarre

01:06:13.860 thanks for the super chat though

01:06:16.680 for Tim Barber

01:06:17.380 Fallen Firebird says

01:07:17.800 You've just got to let it heal

01:07:20.640 On it's own

01:07:21.180 Okay best of luck

01:07:23.280 Best of luck to you

01:07:24.220 For tea and barber

01:07:26.880 Last rumble rant says

01:07:28.060 Oh I forgot

01:07:29.100 Oh I forgot

01:07:30.840 have you read josephus who wrote briefly about jesus i've read bits of josephus yeah yeah yeah

01:07:37.420 you have to it's ancient because i did ancient history as an undergrad um they're gonna give

01:07:43.900 you passages from josephus that you've got to read yeah if you don't include the gospels

01:07:49.540 as sort of firm history uh some do some don't i mean even the earliest one is it mark is the

01:07:56.080 Earliest gospel, I can't remember, anyway

01:07:58.040 They're all a fair bit after

01:07:59.900 The age of Jesus is supposed to have lived 0.99

01:08:01.940 I think the earliest gospel is something like

01:08:03.460 80 years after the age of Jesus

01:08:06.180 And then mostly 100

01:08:07.860 Or more years after

01:08:09.500 So

01:08:10.260 So it's not like the

01:08:12.840 Okay, historians, historiography

01:08:15.500 The study of history itself

01:08:17.680 Say that the gospels

01:08:21.100 Are

01:08:22.480 Slightly shaky as a true historical

01:08:25.680 source others completely disagree with that and say there's just everything in that in them is

01:08:30.840 perfectly accurate okay if you don't include the gospels then what evidence is there of jesus well

01:08:38.220 you've got bits of the odd bit from the romans and you've got josephus

01:08:42.480 so it seems like i'm one of those people i think jesus was a historical figure some people argue

01:08:50.200 he wasn't some people say he's entirely fictional i don't think so i think the preponderance of

01:08:55.180 Evidence is that there

01:08:57.160 Was somebody in Judea

01:08:59.440 At that time

01:09:00.160 Whether it's exactly as described in the Gospels

01:09:03.060 Who knows

01:09:03.920 Some argue he's not real at all

01:09:06.860 I think he almost certainly was

01:09:08.160 But anyway, the historicity

01:09:13.300 Of Jesus, that's a whole thing, that's a whole discipline

01:09:15.240 People arguing over

01:09:17.420 The real

01:09:19.340 Real historical facts of Jesus

01:09:21.340 Nazareth's life 0.99

01:09:22.480 One end of the spectrum

01:09:25.160 Everything that's in the Gospels

01:09:26.340 Even though the four Gospels don't agree on everything

01:09:28.040 That's all 100% historical fact

01:09:31.100 And others

01:09:31.980 Jesus is a complete fiction

01:09:33.700 I'm somewhere in between myself

01:09:37.580 But there you go

01:09:38.480 Okay, yeah, Josephus

01:09:39.640 You have to read a bit of Josephus

01:09:41.020 If you're going to be into ancient history

01:09:44.240 Can't avoid it

01:09:45.180 Alright, interesting, interesting to me

01:09:48.120 I'd like to chat to

01:09:49.240 I'm going to do a chat soon

01:09:50.840 With Metatron

01:09:52.900 A great history YouTuber

01:09:54.580 That is going to happen

01:09:56.460 Hopefully, fingers crossed

01:09:57.380 We've been in contact

01:09:58.200 We're working it out

01:09:59.320 I believe he's just welcomed

01:10:01.720 A new baby into the world

01:10:02.980 So obviously that takes priority

01:10:05.760 Over little old me

01:10:06.840 I wouldn't mind discussing

01:10:08.100 Because he's a Christian

01:10:08.860 Italian or Sicilian Christian man

01:10:10.920 And he's talked about

01:10:12.680 The historicity of Jesus before

01:10:14.360 The real, real reality

01:10:16.480 Of the real life

01:10:17.980 Of the historical figure

01:10:19.140 Jesus of Nazareth

01:10:20.220 He's talked about that before

01:10:21.580 I wouldn't mind picking his brain

01:10:22.960 At least for a while about that

01:10:24.540 Like what do you think about this

01:10:25.980 Like what do you think about this passage from Josephus

01:10:28.160 What do you think about this brief mention

01:10:30.360 Somewhere else in Testus or something

01:10:32.020 Or not Testus, I don't think Testus mentions Jesus

01:10:34.500 Anyway, anyway

01:10:35.840 Alright, let's move on, let's move on

01:10:37.480 Chat about the historicity of Christ all day

01:10:40.540 What have we got here

01:10:41.760 It's the Super Chats, YouTube Super Chats

01:10:44.560 We've got

01:10:46.840 We've got

01:10:47.460 Abdullah Shiraj says

01:10:50.500 What does the Talmud say about Jesus?

01:10:54.900 What does the Talmud say about you?

01:11:01.000 Just going to move on from that

01:11:02.360 I don't know what the hell you're going on about there

01:11:04.100 I don't know

01:11:04.500 What are you trying to do?

01:11:06.080 What are you trying to say?

01:11:09.120 Okay

01:11:09.560 Emasonate

01:11:12.580 Emasonate?

01:11:14.680 Emasonite

01:11:15.160 Says 0.93

01:11:16.120 on the balancing scales of monarchist versus republican where do you sit

01:11:21.620 rupert spirit animal is cromwell do you see us moving in that direction

01:11:26.200 what i've said before i'll say again i'm a very lukewarm monarchist

01:11:30.800 i like the history and the tradition of our constitutional monarchy i think the the concept

01:11:38.240 and the um the institution of monarchy has served us very well i wouldn't throw the baby out with

01:11:44.060 Bathwater I'm not a Republican although I'm not a strong monarchist I don't like King Charles

01:11:50.940 I'm not I wasn't a big fan of Queen Elizabeth II even you can dislike the actual person of the

01:11:58.160 sovereign but still be a monarchist I'm a very very lukewarm monarchist the fact that commies 1.00

01:12:05.840 and socialists hate the monarchy makes me want to preserve it for all time the fact that our

01:12:12.340 our modern constitutional monarchs have very very little power very very little power that sits well

01:12:18.360 with me i like that i don't like the idea of having an absolute monarch an all-powerful king 0.52

01:12:22.580 because they may or may not be stupid or mad or something so that's not ideal i do like having a

01:14:00.100 Because she doesn't know what she's doing or talking about

01:14:03.140 and Cole did some sort of countersuit against her

01:14:06.660 for wrongly bringing a suit against him in the first place

01:14:10.240 and he won that

01:14:15.380 what she was doing or talking about

01:14:16.840 someone had convinced her she could get a bit of money

01:14:19.700 out of some British fascist
