00:01:27.800
little harry how are you this morning good sir morning yeah i'm all good great should we get
00:01:32.720
straight into it i'll talk a little bit about easter halfway through the show when we do our
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
00:04:56.700
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?
00:06:03.940
Iran rejects Trump's foul-mouthed demand to reopen straight-and-form news.
00:06:11.500
never return to its former state, especially for America and Israel,
00:06:22.800
Even though Trump's used the F word and the B word on Truth Social
00:06:40.180
Expect loads more things to blow up in Iran
1.00
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
00:09:07.460
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
00:10:08.260
It's terrible, he shouldn't be allowed in the country
00:10:17.920
Of course, I don't know if it was the actual Board of Deputies
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
00:12:26.960
eagle f-15 two dudes in it one's a pilot one's like the uh the uh navigator or the weapons
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
00:13:54.880
Before the pro-Trump American people bite my head off
00:14:09.380
He threatens crazy leaders with living hell
0.90
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
00:16:50.820
oh lovely cup of tea but that's done now all right move on to my backup water
00:17:01.660
Unhinged president issues foul-mouthed ultimatum
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
00:18:18.920
from daily bombardment so yeah easter talk a tiny bit about easter now
00:18:27.320
tiny bit about easter okay so it's easter monday there you go there's radiant kate and her daughter
00:18:32.440
princess charlotte going to an easter ceremony easter service rather so because the papers don't
00:18:40.120
talk about it just a quick few minutes talk about it it is easter monday right
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,
00:20:09.400
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
00:20:44.960
I love walking around an abbey or a church or a cathedral
00:21:18.360
You know, a couple of disciples walking along the road
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.
00:23:37.200
The whole thing's crazily pointless and mental, really.
00:23:42.580
so that Ed Miliband can feel good about himself
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
00:25:04.880
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.
00:25:30.580
Sometimes they're so absurd that they're funny.
1.00
00:25:57.600
But let's talk about all the details of it now shall we
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
00:28:04.920
Dude44 is now in the grips of, you can only imagine,
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
00:28:53.980
you're going to have downed pilots that get captured by the enemy.
00:28:59.460
I'm surprised it hasn't happened already in this conflict
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
00:29:22.080
I think the Americans are doing a good job on that front
00:29:46.640
In the Iranian countryside he's swarming with
1.00
00:29:55.160
He climbed up some mountain or some steep 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
00:32:04.120
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
00:33:03.220
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
00:34:52.000
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
00:36:15.080
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
00:36:38.100
Was head of the CPS, the Crown Prosecution Service
00:36:47.160
She talks of the vile betrayal of grooming gang victims
00:36:55.080
Extremely reticent about 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
00:38:28.680
That's the front page news according to the Star
00:38:41.520
They're the increasingly absurd, absurd front pages
00:38:50.100
I always forget in that first half hour, 40 minutes
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.
00:39:12.520
It's one of those days where the real answer, the correct answer, is a maybe.
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
00:46:17.780
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
00:48:00.420
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
00:49:46.400
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
00:50:03.960
interesting though, again if you're a history military or any sort of history nerd
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
00:51:18.820
Smashing things up, stealing everything you can get
00:52:14.820
Oh, there's one thing in Le Monde I thought we'd look at
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
00:52:58.640
and make their way across the Pyrenees and to Calais if they want now
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
00:53:41.560
And damages the rest of Europe as well, of course, ultimately
0.71
00:54:00.620
Alright, let's have a look at this day in history
00:54:05.220
Down through the centuries, what happened of notes
00:54:14.980
Because the liturgical dates aren't set in stone
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
00:55:05.180
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
00:56:52.360
Begin the siege of Byzantine Empire's capital
0.89
00:57:00.160
The Ottomans have been trying to take Istanbul for centuries
0.94
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
01:02:21.960
Scotland because everyone was still Catholic back then
1.00
01:02:24.400
There'd been no Protestant Reformation or anything
01:02:54.060
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
01:05:15.500
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.
01:05:24.600
Nearly always, if not always, brilliant Rumble Rant or Superchurch you send in.
01:05:36.280
I did until I saw more solar panels on good farmland.
01:05:58.220
We need to use the North Sea reserves, don't we?
01:06:36.640
okay it's very demoralizing yeah yeah i know yeah i feel for you i feel for you
01:06:44.500
chin up though chin up you should you should get better you will get better
01:06:47.880
but epox and your other stuff is getting me through it cheers my brother oh cheers
01:06:53.240
if i can help in any small way in any tiny tiny respect great yeah there's tons of epox
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
01:07:59.900
The age of Jesus is supposed to have lived
0.99
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
01:09:00.160
Whether it's exactly as described in the Gospels
01:09:13.300
Of Jesus, that's a whole thing, that's a whole discipline
01:09:26.340
Even though the four Gospels don't agree on everything
01:10:25.980
Like what do you think about this passage from Josephus
01:10:32.020
Or not Testus, I don't think Testus mentions Jesus
01:11:02.360
I don't know what the hell you're going on about there
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
01:12:29.760
constitutional monarchy i mean if if if there was bows britain if i found myself like complete
0.91
01:12:38.560
autocrat of britain and i could just do away with the monarchy if i wanted to i wouldn't i don't
01:12:43.140
think i would but britain did flourish in various ways under cromwell's republic various ways we
01:12:51.920
were made stronger lots of people don't like to accept that lots of people hate cromwell but
01:12:56.620

Because she doesn't know what she's doing or talking about
01:14:03.140

01:14:06.660
