00:00:56.900 Iran fires 0.99

00:00:58.040 Missile barrage

00:00:59.160 It's a fragile ceasefire though

00:01:01.720 Didn't you know

00:01:02.200 It's a fragile ceasefire

00:01:03.280 Iran fires

00:01:04.760 Missile barrage 0.51

00:01:05.760 And the Israelis retaliated 0.95

00:01:07.920 And

00:01:08.740 New Ericsson Hill

00:01:10.180 That's a football player

00:01:11.800 Christian Ericsson

00:01:13.180 Had some sort of

00:01:14.680 Minor heart attack

00:01:15.360 We'll get into it

00:01:15.900 We'll get into it

00:01:16.440 We'll get into it

00:01:17.540 Alright

00:01:17.740 Let's have a look then

00:01:19.000 The Telegraph

00:01:19.600 The Daily Toregraph

00:01:20.480 the torograph something about that emma was at radicani tennis player there's no real story

00:01:28.800 she's just turned up for a training session but they've decided she's pretty she's the

00:01:35.120 favourite flavour of the month from time to time she's british don't you know

00:01:42.320 i mean her dad's romanian her mom's chinese and she was born in canada but she's british

00:01:46.000 she's british now she's as british as you or me she's more british than churchill if anything

00:01:50.480 all right iran fires missile barrage into israel making a bit of a mockery of mr hegseth's ceasefire

00:02:00.560 isn't it okay tehran retaliates after israeli defense force the israeli army strikes on beirut

00:02:07.780 and warns of further extensive attacks that's odd i thought we were told that their ability to

00:02:16.100 fire any missiles have been massively depleted if not entirely depleted

00:02:19.920 okay so i suppose this is one of the main stories what is sort of the main story today

00:02:32.600 have a quick look on some of the some of the websites look yeah live israel hits iran with

00:02:38.160 airstrikes after tehran fires missiles into northern israel it's a fragile ceasefire it's

00:02:43.980 Fragile, fragile ceasefire

00:02:45.280 Iran bet it can push for peace and return to war 0.84

00:02:49.820 That was not the plan

00:02:50.820 It has been a ceasefire in name only

00:02:53.220 For weeks now

00:02:54.300 And overnight any semblance of peace was lost

00:02:58.240 As Iran and Israel trade missiles

00:03:00.640 Say the ITV news

00:03:02.400 And for Israel strikes terrorist headquarters in Beirut

00:03:07.680 That's what the Israelis said

00:03:08.700 There was a terrorist headquarters

00:03:10.160 Hezbollah headquarters in Beirut

00:03:11.820 Which they blew up 1.00

00:03:13.980 I mean, it may well be, I'm not saying that's wrong

00:03:16.820 They're lying about that, it may well be

00:03:18.360 It's not what Trump wanted, was it?

00:03:22.520 Trump's stern warning to Netanyahu goes unheeded

00:03:25.380 That's the bottom line, isn't it, really?

00:03:27.200 So, a few days ago, at some point last week

00:03:29.800 Maybe it was a week ago now

00:03:31.340 No, it was longer than a week ago, sorry

00:03:33.460 Trump and Netty had a telephone call

00:03:35.660 And Trump sort of

00:03:37.900 Trump sort of had a go at him a bit in that one

00:03:42.420 According to reports 0.95

00:03:43.420 He called him effing crazy 0.98

00:03:45.780 Trump called Nettie effing crazy 0.98

00:03:49.140 He said look we're trying to make a deal here

00:03:52.140 We're trying to make some sort of peace here

00:03:53.660 Can you stop blowing stuff up

00:03:56.240 Can you stop saying you've got a ceasefire in Lebanon

00:03:59.580 And then just still blowing stuff up 0.98

00:04:01.560 Would you mind

00:04:02.620 We're trying to do diplomacy here

00:04:05.020 Once that reporting came out

00:04:08.580 Both sides sort of played that down

00:04:09.820 Tried to play it down

00:04:10.520 Say oh it's just a tiff between family members

00:04:14.620 You know what it's like

00:04:15.400 You know what it's like

00:04:17.640 But this ceasefire thing

00:04:21.920 It's not a ceasefire is it

00:04:23.060 It's just not a ceasefire

00:04:24.580 And Trump after

00:04:26.200 Well in this last most recent exchange

00:04:30.820 Between specifically Israel and Iran

00:04:33.440 Iran fired on Israel first over the weekend

00:04:37.060 Was it even just yesterday

00:04:38.080 In retaliation for Israel doing stuff

00:04:41.240 Against Hezbollah in Lebanon

00:04:43.120 Or in Beirut even 0.99

00:04:44.280 So 0.96

00:04:45.440 Iran fired first if you like 0.69

00:04:48.620 In this last exchange

00:04:50.120 And

00:04:52.440 Trump apparently got on the blower

00:04:55.500 Got on the old blower

00:04:57.540 To Bibi 0.89

00:04:58.180 Saying don't retaliate

00:04:59.560 Don't retaliate

00:05:00.240 Look we're trying to make a deal here

00:05:01.960 Don't do anything 0.98

00:05:04.440 Bibi ignored that apparently 0.80

00:05:07.720 Well he did, he blanked that 0.54

00:05:09.720 He was like no deal, no dice

00:05:11.700 With friends like these

00:05:19.740 So yeah

00:05:21.920 After Trump's term all in net

00:05:24.420 He just does what he wants anyway

00:05:25.560 Anyone surprised by that?

00:05:28.780 I mean

00:05:29.620 Alright

00:05:31.380 There it is

00:05:34.680 This is quite interesting

00:05:36.020 Trump's plan to buy Chagos Islands

00:05:38.760 Anyone remember?

00:05:41.120 Surely you remember

00:05:41.860 If you've been watching the news

00:05:43.520 Over the last couple of years

00:05:44.540 At all

00:05:45.160 You probably know

00:05:46.200 Probably know all about that saga 0.59

00:05:49.400 Where Britain tried to give

00:05:51.280 Sovereignty of the Chagos Islands

00:05:52.620 Away to Mauritius 1.00

00:05:53.740 Who is a proxy of China 0.92

00:05:55.620 In various ways 0.96

00:05:56.660 Even though they're a Muslim country 1.00

00:05:59.260 We want to do some sort of deal 1.00

00:06:03.220 Lease the Chagos Islands

00:06:05.060 off to mauritius and pay them rents of like 100 million pounds a year but there's a u.s base on

00:06:13.960 the chago sons isn't there the diego garcia base i think it's a joint uk us base but it's basically

00:06:21.080 a u.s base and anyway the u.s had some sort of veto power over all of that and even though trump

00:06:26.320 had um denied and it's not a bad deal i'll let the bits do it if that's what they want in the

00:06:29.900 was like no i'm just i'm just vetoing that no no no you can't do that well now they're talking

00:06:35.580 about and it is just talk at this point talking about buying it themselves there's something that

00:06:41.420 senator kennedy talked about ages ago like a year ago 18 months ago more he said to the senate in

00:06:49.820 front of the senate but speaking to starmer said just let us buy if you don't want it anymore if

00:06:57.260 If you can't afford it

00:06:57.980 Or you don't want it

00:06:58.540 Or whatever

00:06:59.000 Whatever the political calculation

00:07:00.240 In your mind is

00:07:01.100 You want to give it to

00:07:02.160 Get rid of it 1.00

00:07:03.260 Give it to Mauritius

00:07:04.720 Or whatever

00:07:05.020 Well don't do that

00:07:05.800 We'll buy it

00:07:06.360 We the United States

00:07:07.360 Will buy it

00:07:07.980 It's crazy what you're doing

00:07:10.880 So anyway now

00:07:11.560 The Trump administration

00:07:12.980 Apparently is talking about

00:07:15.180 They'll just buy the thing

00:07:17.080 Because if you look at the map

00:07:21.480 Where those Chagos Islands are

00:07:25.100 In the Indian Ocean

00:07:25.980 is sort of massively strategically important it really is you might think oh it's just some tiny

00:07:32.400 little archipelago in the middle of the indian ocean who really cares one way or the other it's

00:07:37.340 not a big deal it is a big deal the ability to uh refuel and re re uh rearm ships an airstrip

00:07:49.560 for even sort of long range strategic bombers all sorts of things that was suddenly off the map as

00:07:55.900 far as the pentagon is concerned that would change all sorts of calculations that would

00:07:59.780 that would reasonably significantly dent the u.s ability to project its power abroad in various

00:08:07.820 ways they could work around it but it's just far from ideal from the united states point of view

00:08:15.320 seems to me i found it difficult to view this from the british point of view from the starmer

00:08:21.280 government's point of view it's difficult to view it as anything other than just trying to

00:08:25.640 undermine britain and the united states just weaken them why would you why would you allow

00:08:31.800 this to be on the table at all release the chagos signs to mauritius who are absolutely in the

00:08:41.100 pocket of china weird it's almost as if you're following orders from beijing isn't it it's

00:08:47.380 almost as if that it seems like that doesn't it all right what else have we got police boss

00:08:52.800 DEI has not gone far enough

00:08:54.940 It is not just any old police boss

00:08:58.020 It's a particular police boss 0.94

00:08:59.140 A black police woman 0.99

00:09:01.080 Who's the head of some sort of policing 1.00

00:09:03.000 Body that's all to do with DEI

00:09:06.420 It's in the wake of the

00:09:09.840 Henry Novak murder

00:09:11.300 People are questioning DEI

00:09:14.880 Specifically in the police

00:09:17.520 Has it gone too far?

00:09:19.640 It's nonsense from top to bottom

00:09:20.920 From start to finish

00:09:21.820 of course it's gone too far one tiny tiny slither of it is too far but no she says it hasn't gone

00:09:28.660 far enough all right she wants to reverse racism not kick racism out not get rid of racism across 0.97

00:09:35.980 the board for everyone no reverse it right all right okay psycho absolute psycho 0.90

00:09:45.980 Tim Stanley 0.90

00:09:50.180 this little boy

00:09:51.080 that seems to

00:09:51.980 be one of the

00:09:53.140 most important people

00:09:53.840 at the Telegraph

00:09:54.400 for some reason

00:09:54.920 seen their podcast

00:09:56.260 with that

00:09:56.660 that woman he does

00:09:57.760 talk about 0.83

00:10:01.580 milk toast takes

00:10:02.720 talk about

00:10:05.420 establishment

00:10:06.160 shilling 0.71

00:10:07.360 cretinous little twerp 0.77

00:10:12.840 although

00:10:13.800 this take isn't too bad

00:10:15.220 he says

00:10:15.520 for some reason we must remain calm about Henry Novak's death you know suggesting

00:10:21.540 no there's no reason to pretend it's not a problem of course it's a problem all right Ericsson

00:10:28.580 collapses in match for second time I know you guys don't care about sports ball but real quick

00:10:32.960 to say because it's in the headlines there's always Danish isn't he Ericsson Ericsson used to

00:10:39.420 Played for Tottenham, Man United, both.

00:10:44.580 And he had a heart attack on the pitch years ago, in like 2020 or 2021.

00:10:49.640 He had a heart attack. He's an older football player. He's in his early 40s, I believe now.

00:10:54.180 He had a heart attack on the pitch and collapsed a few years ago.

00:10:57.760 They put some sort of, like, little, some sort of version of a pacemaker in his chest.

00:11:02.760 He's only back playing football.

00:11:06.660 I'd say give it a rest, mate.

00:11:09.420 must be a multi multi-millionaire just it's time to stop running around isn't it

00:11:14.860 so yeah you know in a friendly yesterday i think or over the weekend there's a friendly denmark

00:11:20.220 versus ukraine and uh 65 minutes in he collapses clutching his chest yeah time to stop christian

00:11:30.540 just stop but um they abandoned the match he was able to walk off the pitch but then went

00:11:36.940 to hospital lost consciousness apparently he's regained consciousness and he's all right okay

00:11:40.860 well not all right he's obviously got a very very serious heart condition isn't he uh there you go

00:11:46.700 justin ericsson collapsed on the pitch didn't die but time to retire in it mate okay uk national debt

00:11:54.700 rises fastest in the whole world other than botswana only botswana national debt is going up

00:12:03.740 faster than the uk's a bit worrying isn't it

00:12:12.860 that's a concern is it not 0.57

00:12:19.660 well our government and chancellor are insane socialists who don't seem to 0.89

00:12:23.580 understand anything about the most simple economic theory

00:12:26.300 ask her to write an essay on like quite an easy essay question at undergrad level about

00:12:33.800 political economy it would just be a stream of nonsense wouldn't it she doesn't i don't

00:12:38.320 think she knows what she's doing really don't the guardian

00:12:45.840 the guardian

00:12:49.340 Guardian

00:12:53.820 Okay

00:12:55.060 One of their little headlines is

00:12:58.500 A driver of political violence

00:13:00.360 How AI fuels anti-tech

00:13:02.360 Tech attacks

00:13:03.180 They can't make up their minds can they?

00:13:06.060 The left

00:13:06.580 Whether they're completely in love with AI

00:13:10.040 And it's the best thing ever

00:13:11.080 And you'd have to be some sort of weirdo freak

00:13:13.860 Boomer Luddite to want anything other than

00:13:16.180 Full bore towards AI

00:13:17.640 Or 1.00

00:13:18.960 crapping themselves at every tiny thing that ai does

00:13:24.380 that that they don't like i can't seem to make up their mind can they

00:13:29.820 okay iran fires waves of missiles at israel in response to strikes on beirut

00:13:40.280 we've done that a bit haven't we so you get it

00:13:44.820 in the fields the body's burning as the war machine keeps turning oh lord yeah 0.92

00:14:22.080 he is on the steps with uh so queer starlin there you go there's actually quite a fair few of um

00:14:29.600 the leaders there was like uh mertz was there and uh macron all at number 10 for like some sort of 0.73

00:14:35.360 summit sort of important talks with ukraine they're gonna keep giving ukraine endless amounts

00:14:41.200 of money and support against the evil mr putin all right okay oh yeah jd vance jd vance and david

00:14:54.640 lammy in a bit of a spat jd vance was it right at the end of the uh right at the end of the week

00:15:01.160 yesterday or or over the weekend jd vance came out and said didn't he well the state department

00:15:06.480 Came out and said

00:15:07.420 The immigration is really bad

00:15:10.160 For Britain and the West 1.00

00:15:12.620 In fact

00:15:13.040 Civilisational level crisis

00:15:15.000 And the killing of Henry Novak

00:15:17.560 Was a disgusting thing

00:15:19.900 They said way more than our home office

00:15:21.980 Or government even really

00:15:23.860 Actually talking about immigration

00:15:25.640 J.D. Vance said

00:15:27.320 He said an invasion

00:15:30.160 Of mass migration 0.91

00:15:31.620 Is to blame here 0.79

00:15:33.120 And David Lammy went on the Sunday

00:15:36.340 morning shows whether it was trevor phillips or laura coenings i think it's trevor phillips

00:15:40.180 went on and said no j i've had a phone call i've been on the blower to vance i've had a phone call

00:15:46.100 uh we're all friends we're all friends here but i did tell him he was wrong about that

00:15:53.860 but david has let me david lammy has said he told the us vice president jd vance

00:16:00.740 he was wrong to blame the murder of the british teenager henry novak

00:16:06.340 on mass migration.

00:16:09.820 Was he wrong? 1.00

00:16:11.840 Didn't that Diggwa family come over here in like 1995 or 1996, 1.00

00:16:16.080 something like that? 1.00

00:16:19.420 Or David Lammy laughing about it, smirking about it,

00:16:23.740 in response to Vance's comments.

00:16:27.360 He said, well, Vikram Diggwa was born here.

00:16:31.040 He was a British citizen.

00:16:33.140 Like literally smirking and smiling about that. 1.00

00:16:36.340 Okay

00:16:39.580 Just means the conversation has to go on to legal migration

00:16:42.500 Doesn't it? 0.99

00:16:42.980 And denaturalising people that may well have been born here 0.85

00:16:45.940 Doesn't it?

00:16:52.880 Yeah, that family only came here in the 90s

00:16:54.840 So if that hadn't have happened

00:16:58.040 Then Henry Novak would still be alive, wouldn't he?

00:17:01.880 So it is to do with migration, isn't it?

00:17:04.240 David

00:17:04.720 The Deputy Prime Minister

00:17:10.160 Said he had spoken with Vance

00:17:12.380 In a phone call

00:17:13.280 On Saturday

00:17:14.860 And told him

00:17:16.180 Our democratic

00:17:17.940 Our democratic process

00:17:21.120 Is working well

00:17:22.400 And that he was wrong

00:17:28.860 In his comments

00:17:29.900 About the murder

00:17:32.680 That's so smart

00:17:34.060 I can barely read it

00:17:34.820 Okay

00:17:35.020 Just David Lammy

00:17:37.780 You know

00:17:38.320 As you can imagine

00:17:39.160 Obviously

00:17:39.760 Playing defence

00:17:43.120 On behalf of

00:17:43.960 The invasion

00:17:45.260 That has happened

00:17:46.020 To this country

00:17:46.540 Over the last few decades

00:17:47.540 Of course

00:17:50.200 You know

00:17:51.180 Obviously

00:17:52.060 How many murders

00:17:53.120 How many rapes

00:17:53.720 There is no upper limit 1.00

00:17:54.640 Is there

00:17:54.920 There is no number

00:17:55.540 When he was asked

00:17:58.860 Do you think

00:17:59.420 People should take the knee

00:18:00.800 In solidarity

00:18:03.600 With Novak

00:18:05.300 He just said no

00:18:07.200 Of course he was massively into taking the knee during BLM

00:18:10.220 And George Floyd, of course he was

00:18:11.620 Try and pour scorn

00:18:13.640 On people that didn't

00:18:14.780 But for Novak, no

00:18:17.040 He tried to bevaricate

00:18:19.900 And then when pushed, just said, I think no

00:18:21.920 Oh, well there you have it

00:18:24.580 There you have it, it's all you really need to know

00:18:26.520 Isn't it

00:18:26.880 You go to the Oxford Union and talk

00:18:30.280 A lot, all about

00:18:33.600 Reparations

00:18:34.900 Britain owes reparations more now still

00:18:39.340 Despite we were one of the first

00:18:43.780 To have an abolitionist movement

00:18:48.140 And spend untold energy and time and money

00:18:50.580 On trying to end the slave trade

00:18:52.280 In the 19th century

00:18:53.940 Okay we owe reparations

00:18:55.640 Sure we do

00:18:56.260 Alright the Financial Times

00:18:59.120 They're going with

00:18:59.980 In some of the financial news this morning

00:19:02.600 going with the oil prices have spiked you might see that frosted all over the news in various

00:19:09.920 various ways the oil price has spiked should we have a look have a look at that where is it

00:19:17.260 my tab isn't there okay well i'll just tell you it hasn't

00:19:23.220 when i looked this morning probably about an hour ago or so um west texas was at something

00:19:28.800 like 95 dollars and brent crude was something at 97 dollars so about the same it was all last week

00:19:35.520 there you go that's the mainstream media though for you isn't it

00:19:42.200 they're not particularly interested in reflecting reality very often are they they've got their

00:19:50.120 narrative the owners of these things tell their editors what the narrative will be and the editors

00:19:56.100 Pick the right writers

00:19:57.380 Tell the writers to write

00:19:58.480 What they're going to write

00:19:59.080 Doesn't necessarily have to map onto reality

00:20:02.280 All that closely

00:20:03.100 Alright

00:20:09.160 What else have we got

00:20:11.680 The IR paper

00:20:12.440 A bit about Burnham

00:20:13.480 Shall we read the blurb on the IR paper

00:20:14.800 It's usually about the best you get

00:20:15.760 Most days on Fleet Street

00:20:16.700 We've got Burnham

00:20:17.840 Set to challenge Starmer

00:20:19.380 Within two weeks

00:20:20.280 If he becomes a Member of Parliament

00:20:22.660 The Greater Manchester Mayor

00:20:24.480 Is expected to launch

00:20:25.500 a leadership bid as soon as possible after returning to parliament if he wins the make

00:20:30.360 a field election cabinet sources tell the eye paper some recent polling i saw is that reform

00:20:35.900 have overtaken labour so it's kind of a big if all right um i wouldn't be surprised if he moved

00:20:43.640 extremely quickly perhaps as soon as a fortnight a cabinet minister says with preparations already

00:20:49.460 underway in parliament to prepare a challenge you can imagine the scuttling going on behind

00:20:54.000 the scenes, can't you? In the Labour Party. The scuttling around, the backroom talks and

00:21:01.820 deals over lunch and over drinks of an evening. In various gentlemen's clubs. Or actually

00:21:11.140 a lot of them are women, aren't they? Okay. So Keir Starmer tells allies he will fight 1.00

00:21:19.060 any attempt to oust him, with a cabinet loyalist saying the Prime Minister feels his achievement

00:21:24.000 In winning the 2024 general election

00:21:26.420 Is quote

00:21:27.540 Constantly underpriced

00:21:29.160 David Lamme came out

00:21:30.760 On the Sunday shows as well

00:21:32.900 Saying he backs Starmer

00:21:34.540 He will back Starmer to the hilt

00:21:36.840 Yeah that the Prime Minister's

00:21:39.860 Achievement in winning the 2024 general election

00:21:42.840 Seem to remember

00:21:45.880 That election was absolutely

00:21:49.360 Dominated

00:21:50.580 By the desire

00:21:55.440 From almost everybody

00:21:57.300 Simply to punish the Tories

00:21:59.980 For 14 years of misrule

00:22:01.340 Not because they loved

00:22:06.080 Starmer or Labour

00:22:07.100 Or the Labour Manifesto

00:22:08.400 Which was extremely thin

00:22:10.240 Anyone remember the Labour Manifesto

00:22:13.720 Going into the 2024 general election?

00:22:15.840 No, I bet you don't

00:22:17.200 I bet hardly anyone read it

00:22:18.380 It was extremely thin

00:22:21.240 On the ground in terms of policy

00:22:25.700 Firm, clear, well written out, deep policy

00:22:30.160 Hardly anything

00:22:31.240 He gave himself, to Chris Starling

00:22:35.840 Gave himself as much wiggle room as you could possibly imagine

00:22:39.120 Basically not really committing to much at all

00:22:41.500 Certainly not in any detail

00:22:42.920 So his achievement of winning the 2024 general election

00:22:48.800 Please, please

00:22:49.680 That's laughable

00:22:50.760 That's risible

00:22:52.060 It was just to oust the Tories, wasn't it?

00:22:54.660 We were done with Rishi

00:22:56.000 You remember when

00:23:01.660 That whole period of when Liz Truss became Prime Minister

00:23:06.520 And then an actual

00:23:09.660 Sort of an actual

00:23:11.200 WEF

00:23:12.620 bloodless coup d'etat took place

00:23:15.580 I would characterise it like that

00:23:19.460 a WEF coup d'etat

00:23:21.420 to oust Truss

00:23:23.160 and put in their man

00:23:25.440 Rishi

00:23:25.960 people saw that 0.92

00:23:29.580 it's pretty blatant, pretty obvious

00:23:31.680 they didn't like it really did they

00:23:33.080 zero seats

00:23:35.540 and all that jazz

00:23:36.520 oh but

00:23:38.180 but Starmer wants

00:23:40.620 wants more credit for that achievement starmer's achievement was it

00:23:46.700 it's constantly underpriced well it's not worth anything what do you mean underpriced

00:23:52.440 it's of no value he was default he was the default

00:23:55.880 selection reform weren't sort of big enough at that point

00:23:59.400 nigel left it to the last moment to rejoin as leader and start campaigning

00:24:06.480 Only then because he saw that he would almost certainly win

00:24:11.160 If he stood in Clacton

00:24:12.180 Just destroy the career of the candidate

00:24:14.060 That was already selected there

00:24:15.260 Just one more political career on the pile

00:24:19.500 And so

00:24:23.860 Labour were just sort of the default

00:24:26.260 They couldn't fail to win

00:24:28.540 In the 2024 election

00:24:30.220 Starmer's achievement

00:24:32.300 Okay, okay

00:24:33.400 Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy

00:24:35.360 said he would backstab in a contest.

00:24:37.540 I'm sorry, there you go.

00:24:38.600 Describing the Prime Minister as, quote,

00:24:42.040 the most resilient person I have ever met.

00:24:46.060 When you say resilient, you mean robot-like.

00:24:49.420 And arguing he should, quote, serve out his mandate, quote.

00:24:52.880 I suspect Lambie doesn't really know what the word mandate means.

00:24:56.980 He's one of those people.

00:24:59.440 Isn't he?

00:25:02.500 Okay, he's heard someone else say that.

00:25:05.360 So he said that.

00:25:08.080 I've heard people say that a few times about Keir Starmer.

00:25:10.280 He's super resilient.

00:25:11.340 He's so resilient.

00:25:13.000 Well, there you go.

00:25:13.480 The most resilient person I have ever met is resilient.

00:25:20.040 He's never really faced true political adversity, has he?

00:25:26.000 Sorry, I've said it before.

00:25:27.020 The things they say about politicians,

00:25:29.300 if only you knew them behind closed doors.

00:25:32.640 I've mentioned it before.

00:25:33.160 People used to say, like George Bush Jr.

00:25:35.360 Behind closed doors

00:25:36.620 He's actually really eloquent

00:25:38.060 He's actually really urbane and witty

00:25:40.480 And doesn't stumble over his own words

00:25:43.760 And full foul to malapropisms

00:25:45.840 And just get things wrong all the time

00:25:48.120 Behind closed doors

00:25:49.980 Yeah right

00:25:51.160 Well that's not true is it

00:25:52.440 I don't believe that

00:25:53.160 Or Gordon Brown

00:25:56.700 Behind closed doors

00:25:57.660 Is actually really really affable

00:26:00.280 And nice and warm

00:26:01.300 no he's not he's obviously not why are you saying that no one's believing that

00:26:09.060 yeah Keir Starmer is actually really resilient is he I doubt it I highly doubt it again just

00:26:18.180 robot like is that resilience or is it just you don't know anything else you just dig your heels

00:26:24.180 in whenever you're confronted with anything any sort of opposition just double down and double

00:26:29.760 down is that really resilience would you characterize that as resilience or is it just

00:26:35.600 like having no imagination not really being particularly human

00:26:44.880 not really reacting to the world as a normal human would

00:26:50.160 oh but we're going to call that resilience okay okay okay david okay mr lammy if you say so

00:26:56.560 The times, the venerable times

00:26:59.160 There's Chris Eubank playing a bit of tennis there

00:27:02.200 Oh sorry, it's Serena Williams, sorry

00:27:03.980 Yeah, she's come out of retirement

00:27:06.320 She's in her 40s, 44

00:27:08.180 It's only the doubles

00:27:09.700 It's only the mixed doubles

00:27:11.700 Okay

00:27:12.600 Starmer ban on harmful social media for children

00:27:17.520 Under 16s could access safer sites under plans

00:27:22.320 Probably won't happen, don't worry about it too much

00:27:24.920 Anything the government, anything Starmer and the government are talking about

00:27:27.580 That they want to introduce, they plan to introduce

00:27:29.940 All that sort of things

00:27:31.060 Don't worry about it for a while

00:27:33.320 Don't worry about it at least until this

00:27:35.440 Makerfield election is over

00:27:37.140 And if Burnham wins it, the leadership election is over

00:27:39.840 Only after that, and if Keir Starmer wins that leadership election

00:27:43.240 Only after that start taking seriously anything they're saying

00:27:45.920 About government and future bills of parliament

00:27:49.000 Acts of parliament

00:27:49.860 Until then

00:27:54.860 Until then the business of government

00:27:59.400 Will be effectively on hold

00:28:01.460 Basically

00:28:02.100 All the Labour backbenchers

00:28:04.760 Somebody in the chat said

00:28:06.960 That's racist

00:28:07.560 What my comment about

00:28:08.720 I genuinely thought that was Chris Eubank

00:28:11.420 Sorry

00:28:12.820 Prove I didn't genuinely think that was Chris Eubank

00:28:20.680 Alright so

00:28:21.600 The under 16s bill

00:28:23.440 Don't worry about it

00:28:23.960 Don't worry about it.

00:28:25.160 Starmer will get defeated, even if he got it through.

00:28:27.200 He still, even after all of this, after the Burnham thing plays out,

00:28:30.440 and Starmer succeeds, and he's still Prime Minister,

00:28:33.480 let's say that, in that scenario.

00:28:39.500 He will still face the hundreds of backbenchers

00:28:42.880 that mean to oppose him at every step of the way.

00:28:45.740 That won't have changed, will it?

00:28:49.780 Okay.

00:28:50.260 Trump hits out at Israel after Iran fires missiles

00:28:53.920 Alright we've done that a bit

00:28:55.080 Yeah Trump's annoyed with both sides actually

00:28:57.600 With both sides

00:28:58.500 It's getting away from him a bit though isn't it

00:29:01.460 Unless he makes some big moves

00:29:03.820 Really big moves

00:29:04.920 History defining

00:29:07.060 Probably almost certainly military moves

00:29:10.000 It's just slipping away from him isn't it

00:29:11.920 It's just like neither side are doing what he wants

00:29:14.320 Isn't it

00:29:17.060 That's what's going on now

00:29:18.160 Iran just not 0.67

00:29:20.260 Coming to the table, over the weekend as well, Iran made more statements about dealing with the U.S. is crazy, we can't really do it, we don't trust them, they don't trust us, we don't trust them, it's like playing snakes and ladders, they said something like that, they said, trying to deal with the Americans is sort of a nonsense because the only thing they understand, it's a bit rich isn't it, coming from the Iranians, but the only thing they understand is force and power. 0.76

00:29:45.940 They're nowhere near a deal 0.84

00:29:50.460 Even the beginnings of a deal

00:29:53.840 Let alone a final deal

00:29:55.100 So Iran just simply aren't doing

00:30:00.900 What the White House and the State Department

00:30:03.020 And the Pentagon want them to

00:30:04.600 Just refusing to

00:30:07.880 And now Israel as well

00:30:10.460 Trump can call him up

00:30:13.120 And shout at him

00:30:14.780 ball him out rip a strip off him doesn't make any difference is it basically well not much

00:30:22.500 difference net is still just going to do whatever he wants to do seems so it's like being a teacher

00:30:31.160 or a parent in the classroom or your kids just sort of refusing to accept your authority

00:30:37.880 shouting at them wagging your finger at them threatening them with detention or an early

00:30:45.320 bedtime they're like okay i'm just gonna keep doing whatever i want to do what now

00:30:50.300 all right the mail daily mail the mail group complete and utter subversive slot trying to

00:31:00.180 pretend it isn't kim kardashian kim k was at the formula one at monica yesterday i know you guys

00:31:05.340 don't particularly like sports so i'll say it real quick it was the monaco grand prix yesterday

00:31:09.780 kimmy antonelli a 19 year old won it mad he may well be champion this year youngest champion of

00:31:17.280 all time imagine being 19 years old we'll probably be 20 by that point being the youngest ever formula

00:31:22.060 one world champion imagine being basically the best driver in the world when you're 20

00:31:27.260 crazy anyway kim kardashian goes out with lewis hamilton now he came second actually

00:31:32.760 quite good result for him i think it's his best result for ferrari um loose hampton drives for

00:31:38.140 ferrari now anyway he's going out with kim isn't he kim k lewis and kim they're an item so she was

00:31:45.000 at monaco she was on the grid walk um martin brundle goes up to her the legendary martin

00:31:51.980 brundle don't worry about it legendary x-formula one driver who always does the grid walk and

00:31:56.100 talks to people celebrities on the grid he went up to kim k and tried to ask her some questions

00:32:02.100 and she just completely blanked him like he wasn't there.

00:32:07.560 It rude.

00:32:09.300 As Labour rail threatens to derail boost to military,

00:32:12.140 ex-NATO chief's chilling warning,

00:32:13.760 spend now on defence or we will pay a cost in blood.

00:32:19.620 Britain faces a blood cost.

00:32:21.640 If Labour keeps dithering on defence,

00:32:24.580 Keir Starmer was warned last night,

00:32:26.380 former NATO chief, General Sir Richard Sheriff,

00:32:29.320 and said the country would suffer

00:32:33.080 catastrophic costs

00:32:34.620 unless the wrangling over a treasury raid

00:32:39.900 designed to free up resources

00:32:42.040 to part fund a strategic defence review

00:32:45.700 completed more than a year ago

00:32:48.820 again sorry the writing got smaller and smaller there

00:32:51.380 like an actual eye test

00:32:52.520 the writing got smaller and smaller

00:32:53.800 okay

00:32:54.440 yeah they're saying

00:32:59.320 Look, you did this strategic defence review, which came to the conclusion we need to spend money on our armed forces.

00:33:07.180 So, and that was all finished with and done with.

00:33:10.620 All the I's dotted, all the T's crossed, like a year ago or whatever.

00:33:13.820 So, you're going to spend the money, right?

00:33:16.860 You're going to let the Treasury release that money, right?

00:33:19.220 At least begin to, right guys?

00:33:22.360 Well, as we know from the latest Epstein document dump, or sorry, Mandelson document dump,

00:33:28.420 um the treasury rachel weaves and rachel reeves and starmer of course as well the buck ultimately

00:33:36.520 stops with him are only interested in how they can spend as much money as humanly possible on

00:33:42.720 welfare i'm paying for the welfare of people that are invading us and demographically replacing us

00:33:52.240 that's the government we've got right now that's the type of government we've got they're not 0.70

00:33:55.440 interested in whether we're safe whether there will ultimately be a cost in blood

00:33:59.900 don't care about that just make sure the people invading us have got hotels

00:34:04.960 and mobile phones and handouts and if they anyone tries to deport them spend money on their legal

00:34:13.160 aid if they go to prison spend loads of money on them in prison and then not deport them

00:34:18.320 they need an insane amount of money to do that there's no money left for our defense

00:34:24.500 Alright, the Metro

00:34:29.400 The Metro

00:34:40.660 US warned to stay out of migrant debate

00:34:44.440 Warned

00:34:44.980 David Lammy's going to warn J.D. Vance

00:34:48.100 Is he?

00:34:50.020 Yeah

00:34:50.240 like the foreign office is going to warn the state department is it thanks but no yanks

00:34:58.040 because get it because thanks rhymes yanks and thanks rhyme thanks but no thanks thanks but

00:35:04.260 no yanks you get it it's very clever wordplay but you get it lammy tells vance you were wrong

00:35:09.780 after white house leaders line up to blame mass invasion for tragedy they're just not wrong are

00:42:19.760 Very very

00:42:20.560 Pivotal person

00:42:21.680 In history

00:42:22.300 On this day

00:42:23.500 In 793

00:42:24.640 Vikings land in longships

00:42:26.680 From modern day Norway 1.00

00:42:27.960 And plunder 0.99

00:42:35.000 The first of many 1.00

00:42:36.580 I think that was the first one

00:42:37.440 I'm pretty sure 0.99

00:42:37.800 that's the first one this is basically the beginning of the viking invasion period 0.70

00:42:41.940 it's actually viking invasion scares all the way up to the age of henry ii which is like the 12th

00:42:49.960 century there weren't any big ones after the 10th century or early sorry early 11th century

00:42:58.980 but it starts here the first the first attack on lindisfarne in 793 before that there hadn't

00:43:07.380 really been or rather the the record doesn't there's no records that survive literary evidence

00:43:12.440 at least that people come from across the north sea to raid england what is today england

00:43:21.600 then the vikings did they realized it was a soft touch wait a minute there's this little island

00:43:29.820 with a monastery on it that's filled with golden things and it's entirely undefended 0.87

00:43:34.760 well we've just got to slaughter a few monks that are like barely armed and certainly not

00:43:40.560 warriors in any sense so it's just there for the taking well you're telling me there's an island 0.76

00:43:45.680 it's just full of golden things completely undefended oh okay well we are yeah we're

00:43:50.620 going to go raid that yeah that's in our culture we've done that for centuries yeah that's that's

00:43:54.000 our bread and butter sure sure and then after that oh they've sort of restocked it refilled

00:44:00.020 it with gold and things again gold and silver and stuff and it's still undefended i will go raid it

00:44:05.580 again then we end up with forkbeard in like what the early 11th century completely invading and

00:44:16.820 taking england entirely making himself king of england in the end a couple hundred years later

00:44:22.940 That whole process plays out over a couple of hundred years

00:44:25.880 Alright

00:44:28.700 On this day in 1191

00:44:31.320 King Richard I

00:45:24.120 Almost single-handedly a couple of times 1.00

00:45:26.060 At one point him and just a small number of knights

00:45:28.160 Just running through the streets of Acre

00:45:30.980 Occupied Acre, enemy-occupied Acre

00:45:33.300 Just running through, just smashing everyone in their way

00:45:36.240 Like a bowling ball through pins

00:45:39.700 Just unstoppable

00:45:40.980 Pretty badass

00:45:43.420 Pretty badass

00:45:44.960 Okay, on this day in 1783

00:45:49.980 The Laki volcano

00:45:51.440 Laki volcano

00:45:53.120 In southern Iceland

00:45:54.420 Begins an 8 month eruption

00:45:56.620 Killing 10,000 people

00:45:59.900 And causing widespread famine

00:46:02.080 Throughout Europe and Asia

00:46:03.820 Yeah, that's one of those ones

00:46:05.940 Where it was such a giant eruption

00:46:09.260 Like, people have estimated

00:46:11.780 It's like a whole square kilometres

00:46:14.500 worth of material or kilometers cubed worth of material thrown into the atmosphere and not only

00:46:21.060 did 10 000 people die on iceland but it screwed with the whole world's weather systems

00:46:28.460 to the point where it sort of blotted out the sun to some degree

00:46:33.280 and like the next summer there was just sort of not really a summer and like loads of crops

00:46:40.140 failed in france in europe in the united states yeah even across to asia the whole world's weather

00:46:46.000 system was disrupted by this this one volcano that's happened a number of times throughout

00:46:50.980 history if and when that happens again in our modern age can you can you imagine the uh

00:46:55.480 the melting down from climate people and from most people

00:47:02.180 and there'll be a few voices saying no wait this is terrible of course it's terrible we're not

00:47:08.880 denying it's not terrible but it has happened loads of times in the past loads and loads of

00:47:13.140 times it's not like some freak thing and we need to change our entire way of living and the entire

00:47:17.800 world's economy and give governments loads more power over us this is actually in the scheme of

00:47:23.800 things common you zoom out and look at things over the course of centuries or millennia it's

00:47:28.940 actually like common it's gonna happen okay well anyway yeah this one quite big some even say that

00:47:37.200 the famine that resulted from that at least in france contributed to civil unrest and the

00:47:45.760 helped to kick off the french revolution because there were loads of bread shortages and things

00:47:53.840 okay on this day in 1789 james madison introduces a proposed bill of rights in the

00:47:59.120 u.s house of representatives and there's an image of it there yeah classic great story

00:48:04.080 i've got all sorts of content about um some of the founding fathers thomas jefferson

00:48:10.640 so they did they did the declaration of independence of course then they did the

00:48:15.440 constitution of course by the time they'd done the constitution it wasn't ratified until i think 1789

00:48:22.800 at that point jefferson was in france he was like the ambassador extraordinary or something to in

00:48:29.440 Paris when he got news of the Constitution or even saw a copy of it he

00:48:35.480 was aghast he was like oh you failed to write into the Constitution some of the

00:48:42.940 most fundamental rights

00:48:46.620 like how have you failed to do that the Constitution itself should have these

00:48:51.160 things written into it okay so you know you might not know the Bill of Rights is

00:48:55.360 basically the first 10 amendments to the constitution that's what it is it's going

00:49:00.340 to be 17 at first and they wrangled it down and agreed on 10 you know they're all things like the

00:49:07.060 freedom of speech freedom of expression you know the right to bear arms not allowed to billet men

00:49:12.740 on people unnecessarily loads of legal provisions for the people right you know you're not you can't

00:49:20.240 be subject to cruel and unusual torture you've got a right to to not incriminate yourself you

00:49:26.560 know pleading the fifth the fifth amendment i've got the right not to answer questions if i don't

00:49:31.680 want to all those sorts of things right all those sorts of things their version of habeas corpus

00:49:36.400 like basically the government isn't allowed to just imprison you unnecessarily all things like

00:49:42.460 that thomas jefferson said all that should have been in the constitution itself okay you need to

00:49:47.000 write something new another document call it the bill of rights whatever you want and get that

00:49:50.980 through asap originally james madison said no no no the constitution is kind of great as it is

00:49:59.300 it's all implicit in there we don't necessarily need a bit of rights in the end he was convinced

00:50:03.700 madison was convinced jefferson won that argument all right the bill of rights there you go could

00:50:10.140 talk bang on and on and on about that for a while but it isn't really a history show so we'll move

00:50:15.100 on on this day in 1918 nova aquilae is discovered the brightest nova supernova star exploding

00:50:21.840 since kepler's nova in 1604 interesting interesting a lot can be learned from observing

00:50:28.600 supernova a lot about the nature of stars what they really are and how they work okay on this

00:50:35.280 day in 1987 new zealand's labor government legislates against nuclear weapons and nuclear

00:50:40.160 powered vessels uh the only nation to legislate against nuclear power well done the kiwis well

00:50:47.280 done can't fault them for that really um i will say new zealand was never likely to have

00:50:54.800 a nuclear program of its own though was it it's simply not big enough and rich enough

00:51:02.400 they haven't got a biggest big enough population in the industry heavy industry of its own has it

00:51:07.120 So it was never likely to have

00:51:10.940 It's completely own independent nuclear weapon programme

00:51:15.000 Okay, alright

00:51:17.520 There we go

00:51:19.040 Shall we look at our Rumble Rands and Super Chats

00:51:22.600 Let's do that

00:51:23.800 Let me do this with my mic beam

00:51:25.560 So I can see the left hand side of my screen

00:51:27.120 Do you reckon Global Church History is in at number one?

00:51:30.960 Yes he is 0.99

00:51:31.580 It's a good day

00:51:33.660 Reigning, defending and still 0.84

00:51:36.260 Global Church History says

00:51:38.380 On this day in 143 BC

00:51:41.300 Shibuya in China

00:51:43.440 Recorded its first earthquake

00:51:45.180 Frightening many but damaging little

00:51:47.360 Interesting I don't know about that one

00:51:49.800 I guess it's not a really big one

00:51:52.020 But the other one I don't know a fair bit about

00:51:56.700 You say on this day in 65 AD

00:51:58.820 The Jews captured Antonia 0.96

00:52:01.200 Beginning their revolt 0.99

00:52:02.300 And the bastion

00:52:06.260 The fortress, the strong point of Antonia, that's not a woman, it's a place, a bastion, in Jerusalem.

00:52:17.440 That's where the Romans were garrisoned, one of the places the Romans were garrisoned, in Jerusalem. 0.55

00:52:21.800 Because the Romans had conquered and were occupying Judea.

00:52:28.380 And the first Jewish revolt, they recaptured the fortress of Antonia and massacred all the Romans there. 0.93

00:52:36.260 Okay skip forward 0.83

00:52:40.980 Do you remember

00:52:41.340 I think it was last week

00:52:42.140 Was it Friday even

00:52:42.940 We talked about Titus

00:52:44.900 Vespasian's son

00:52:46.020 Going and ending 0.99

00:52:47.420 That Jewish revolt in 70 AD

00:52:49.320 So what five years later

00:52:50.820 Four years later

00:52:51.980 Anyway

00:52:53.620 I think it was 66 AD

00:52:55.700 Anyway

00:52:57.320 Anyway

00:52:57.640 A few years later

00:52:58.580 All that ends

00:53:02.020 Ultimately

00:53:02.700 In 0.96

00:53:04.080 The sack of Jerusalem

00:53:06.000 And the destruction of the second temple 1.00

00:53:07.780 Okay

00:53:09.940 The second and only other

00:53:12.760 Rumble rant this morning

00:53:14.320 Is also from Global Church History

00:53:16.280 Says it's a tough day

00:53:18.600 For the Lamy

00:53:19.480 Is that like David Lamy's army? 0.58

00:53:23.360 The Lamy

00:53:24.040 But Lamy remains king

00:53:28.680 Because of his towering intellect

00:53:30.820 I'm picking up on a touch of sarcasm

00:53:34.760 There

00:53:35.600 global church history he's probably playing playing 4d chess wouldn't it be interesting

00:53:40.760 that after lammy retires or loses his seat he starts doing interviews and comes out as

00:53:46.240 as extremely knowledgeable and well read and urbane

00:53:50.000 and the whole time he was playing 4d chess for some reason 0.98

00:53:55.380 like the emperor claudius calculated that if everyone thinks he's a moron they'll underestimate 0.97

00:54:02.940 him and allow him to climb the ladder further and further and it was all 4d chess all along 0.99

00:54:08.000 maybe um okay let's do that was the only rumble rants this morning let's have a look at our uh

00:54:18.500 youtube super chat okay here we go dark emperor ray 13 says good morning or rather good evening

00:54:27.040 as it's midnight in California

00:54:28.740 oh you're out in California

00:54:29.980 okay

00:54:31.700 that aside

00:54:33.340 God bless England

00:54:34.420 God bless the US

00:54:37.680 and God bless Henry Novak

00:54:39.100 enough of these tragedies

00:54:43.560 thanks for the super chat

00:54:46.380 I appreciate the sentiment

00:54:47.240 yeah

00:54:49.000 Henry Novak

00:54:50.020 lest we forget

00:54:51.240 if the corporate mainstream media

00:54:52.880 and sort of the cultural zeitgeist

00:54:55.020 is going to remember him

00:54:56.080 like George Floyd

00:54:57.000 Lots and lots of murders like that

00:54:58.860 All sorts of injustices and murders

00:55:00.080 But if society is going to remember that one

00:55:04.280 Well so be it

00:55:04.980 Let's not let his memory be forgotten

00:55:07.500 And memory hold

00:55:08.420 He will stand for so many more tragedies

00:55:13.060 Won't he

00:55:13.440 Okay

00:55:16.940 RestoreMaxer69

00:55:42.480 Dark Emperor Ray 13 again

00:55:45.280 Second one of the day

00:55:46.600 Says

00:55:47.640 Speaking of Black Sabbath

00:55:50.260 Oh yeah did I sing a bit of Black Sabbath earlier

00:55:52.340 I did didn't I

00:55:55.300 okay sometimes just pops into your head good to be in the moment isn't it this isn't scripted

00:56:03.000 if anyone hasn't guessed there's no script every single day no notes whatsoever it's just me

00:56:09.060 monologuing off the cuff every single day okay all right speaking of black sabbath how about

00:56:14.560 mr crowley uh crowley i like that one and the classic black sabbath song itself i do miss aussie

00:56:22.300 Yeah, R.I.P. Ozzy Osbourne

00:56:23.660 Oh, Sabbath

00:56:26.200 They've got some good songs, aren't they?

00:56:27.800 Haven't they?

00:56:29.320 They're not my favourite band of all time, but they've definitely got some bangers

00:56:32.120 Some good songs, I mean

00:56:35.820 Okay

00:56:37.560 Principal to Uncertainty says

00:56:39.200 How are you, by the way, sir? Super fan of the show

00:56:40.980 Principal to Uncertainty says

00:56:42.120 The only same reaction to current world situation

00:56:45.100 Is to buy a dice and follow

00:56:47.500 Luke Reinhart's rules

00:56:48.960 I don't know Luke Reinhart's rules, I'm afraid

00:56:51.120 Chance is our only escape

00:56:53.220 From this endless rut

00:56:54.800 We are lost in the political

00:56:57.820 Backrooms

00:56:58.660 I don't know Luke Reinhart's

00:57:01.940 Rules I'm afraid, it sounds interesting though

00:57:03.600 I'll google that later, I'm supposed to be on the podcast

00:57:05.920 This afternoon, so this morning

00:57:08.000 Has to be used to create that

00:57:10.060 Segment, because that is

00:57:11.600 I do make notes for that, I have to sort of really

00:57:13.980 Get my links ready

00:57:16.120 But I'll check that out, I wonder what that is

00:57:19.260 Luke Reinhart's Rules, okay

00:57:20.520 all right i'll um

00:57:24.160 we've just had a rumble rank come in doesn't say how much it's for but it's in red which doesn't

00:57:33.100 that mean it's for a lot of money something comes up red harry i'm not sure oh it doesn't say how

00:57:40.560 much it's for but it's in red and i believe that denotes that it's for a lot of money so i'll just

00:57:44.880 read it right now. It doesn't say anything. It's from somebody called Lucky Gora is now

00:57:51.900 a monthly supporter. Oh, maybe it's just that. I've not seen that before. Okay, maybe it's

00:57:56.280 not for a great amount of money. It's just that they've become a monthly supporter.

00:57:58.920 Either way, they don't say anything. Lucky Gora. Well, thank you very much. Lucky Gora.

00:58:03.900 Got a shout out on the show live on Breakfast with Vogue. Okay, back to the YouTube ones.

00:58:08.560 Mr. Dickie Bingo, how are you, sir? Super fan. Great chap. Met him in real life. He just

00:58:13.660 says shame kim k's take on f1 would have been golden yeah oh kim kim can you tell us about

00:58:20.980 your thoughts on the tire degradation today yeah can you can you give us your insights on brake

00:58:28.780 temperatures no yeah you got any insights for us on the ferrari aero package have they brought a

00:58:37.640 new floor what's the what's the aero package like on the ferrari floor anything no no

00:58:44.000 principal duns says he says the mirror insisting their page three wore a bra and pants out of

00:58:52.760 political correctness was a cosmic joke anyone who might not know is too young it's probably

00:58:58.680 before your time even harry or if you're foreign it used to be the case until i don't know 10 years

00:59:03.980 ago maybe as much as 15 years ago i can't remember exactly in the british tabloids a tabloid one so

00:59:09.080 like the mirror the sun the star the sport used to be the sport on page three they just open the

00:59:16.700 front page and right there would be a woman bare-breasted yeah every day anyone any kid

00:59:25.280 can buy the newspaper for like 20p back then or whatever it was 30p there's just a woman 1.00

00:59:30.460 bare breasted there a page three model 1.00

00:59:36.560 okay and then at some point they decided oh we'll still have a page three model but we'll 1.00

00:59:43.060 actually put her in a bra at least or a bikini top so you can still ogle a beautiful woman but 1.00

00:59:47.720 she won't actually be exposed and then they scrapped it entirely because feminists because 0.91

00:59:55.080 wokeness wasn't that long ago wasn't that long ago at all page three yeah oh yeah it's like a

01:00:02.520 thing from the past isn't it it's like in the the 20s or the 30s or even the 50s little kids would

01:00:08.720 smoke that used to be the case you start smoking when you're like eight or something

01:00:14.880 and now we're like really did that really even happen yeah yeah okay brendan lucas says bank

01:00:23.760 of England says public doesn't want Churchill on five pound note is this same public that voted him

01:00:30.520 greatest Britain something doesn't add up yeah as I've said a number of times happy to reiterate

01:00:36.260 I'm not a fan of Churchill the politician I'm a fan of Churchill the writer the historian

01:00:43.400 some of his work is excellent as a politician I'm not a fan but yeah you're quite right to

01:00:51.920 noticed the inconsistency there i think it was in the year 2000 if i recall around then anyway

01:00:57.040 around the turn of the century britain voted churchill the greatest britain of all time

01:01:01.840 all time going back to alfred the great or whatever anyone any britain ever churchill won

01:01:10.320 but now apparently we don't even want him on our five pound note

01:01:13.760 really the society and the public opinion changed that much

01:01:18.880 Okay, Brendan Lucas again says

01:01:23.680 I thought for our cultural bettors

01:01:27.840 Who told players to kneel at matches

01:01:30.220 Churchill was off limits

01:01:32.060 Because without him

01:01:33.560 What story does country have?

01:01:43.060 Okay, well

01:01:43.820 There's just a debate isn't there over Churchill

01:01:47.140 I was going to do

01:01:48.880 I was going to do a long form conversation with Rafe Heidel Mancou about Churchill because he's a massive Churchill fan, isn't he? Massive Churchill supporter on record loads, even in debates and things on talk TV or whatever it was, always defending Churchill against leftist Churchill detractors.

01:02:06.960 and we were going to have a conversation we started to have a conversation in the second

01:02:11.760 studio about that and i was gonna attack or criticize churchill from the right basically

01:02:18.760 and we sat down five minutes into it there was a power cut

01:02:22.300 the whole building this whole building had a power cut

01:02:25.900 and it lasted so long that the afternoon was half over and he had to go

01:02:31.320 and then since then he doesn't seem interested remotely in having you know doing that again

01:02:37.860 tempting that again maybe he will but he doesn't seem interested at all

01:02:43.500 perhaps because he realized i was going to criticize churchill from the right and it's

01:02:48.340 very difficult to defend churchill from the right um but anyway that was going to happen

01:02:54.140 never happened what a shame right what a shame i think it would have been a very very good

01:02:57.340 conversation because heidel man koo is no slouch is he knows his stuff no doubt about that

01:03:03.300 absolutely no slouch i think would have been an interesting conversation shame anyway

01:03:06.880 you know modern culture people lose their mind about churchill in three different senses right

01:03:13.620 the left hate him because they always have the right have got very serious concerns about him

01:03:20.960 and his memory and loads of normies love him and will defend him to the end of the earth three-way

01:03:26.540 fight over the memory of churchill all right the next one here we've only got two or three more

01:03:32.100 three more peter j says should we wonder why the headline the headline is iran fires missiles

01:03:42.000 when it is doing so in response to israel breaking the ceasefire i mean good question yeah

01:03:47.420 good question yeah how you characterize it who fired first or whatever i mean iran did fire

01:03:53.340 first but in response to stuff israel was doing with hezbollah so it's a whole chicken and egg

01:04:00.240 thing isn't it who you really accuse of starting it each thing is a consequence of the other

01:04:07.580 but yeah it's interesting isn't it you it's a valid question you've asked

01:04:11.900 they characterize it as iran fires missiles it's like yeah they did but yeah it's a valid question

01:04:19.540 you've said there peter j all right the penultimate one from sam p says morning bo morning good

01:04:26.360 morning to you glad to catch you live i'm from the u.s visiting the uk on vacation love it here

01:04:32.660 oh that's nice to hear that's nice here if you stay out of some of the center of some of the

01:04:36.680 worst cities england is still an absolutely wonderful beautiful place it really is i went

01:04:42.260 to rural Wiltshire last weekend and the weekend before. Stunningly beautiful. Stunning. And

01:04:52.180 the people, the native people of these islands, largely are extremely kind and generous, lovely

01:04:59.020 people. Just don't go to the centre of Birmingham or Oldham or wherever, Blackburn, some parts

01:05:07.600 of london don't visit whitechapel yeah lots and lots of rural england it's still absolutely

01:05:13.660 lovely i'm glad you're enjoying it i really am thank you very much thanks for the super chat

01:05:17.200 okay brendan lucas again says i meant presumably them getting rid of every every other british

01:05:23.780 story william wilberforce etc that churchill would be would be load-bearing because of liberalism

01:05:29.920 yeah that's a good point that's a good point yeah a very good point yeah they very seldom

01:05:36.220 And bring up Wilberforce today

01:05:37.280 I've got long-form content all about

01:05:41.260 Specifically all about

01:05:42.420 William Wilberforce

01:05:43.480 They

01:05:44.240 The wokest establishment

01:05:46.600 They don't like bringing up Wilberforce

01:05:49.040 Ever

01:05:49.700 It doesn't fit their narrative, does it?

01:05:53.200 That we're evil slavers and colonists

01:05:55.500 That it was everything we've ever done is evil

01:05:57.760 Our entire history and heritage is evil

01:06:00.080 Doesn't fit that narrative, does it?

01:06:04.180 Alright, Erwin Romulus

01:06:05.520 this is the last one says i'd be happy to see churchill removed from the fiver as long as they

01:06:11.520 put wellesley back on it arthur wellesley the first cheek of wellington yeah i'd be up for that

01:06:16.840 yeah yeah yeah get rid of churchill then go on yeah put someone actually based on it put someone

01:06:22.600 who's actually a hero of ours on it yeah nelson or wellesley cheek of wellington yeah i i agree

01:06:29.820 with you absolutely agree with you erwin romulus okay well two more two more rumble rants have

01:07:08.380 And then the second

01:07:10.100 And final one here says

01:07:22.780 No class 0.99

01:07:23.260 Yeah

01:07:23.860 I thought that

01:07:24.900 I thought exactly that

01:07:26.740 If you're Lewis Hamilton

01:07:27.980 Insanely rich

01:07:30.180 Insanely rich

01:07:31.280 He must be a hundred millionaire

01:07:33.620 Sort of a level

01:07:34.960 And of course extremely famous

01:07:38.920 World famous

01:07:39.800 On paper one of if not arguably

01:07:42.540 The greatest race driver of all time

01:07:44.920 He's got more Grand Prix wins

01:07:47.020 Than Schumacher

01:07:47.880 Oh no he's got more pole positions

01:07:50.680 Anyway

01:07:51.260 Same number of championships

01:07:54.760 as Schumacher. So, totally an A-lister, Lewis Hamilton, hyper-rich, world-famous, one of

01:08:03.280 the greatest ever to do it. He could have his pick of women, obviously not every woman 0.85

01:08:09.640 in the world, but he could pick from any number of absolutely stunning beauties who are wonderful,

01:08:14.760 lovely people. But he picks Kim K. Says a lot about him, doesn't it? Says a lot about 0.76

01:08:20.760 Sir Lewis's character
