00:00:00.000 morning you're right

00:00:05.440 lovely cup of tea first thing in the morning it's nothing like it it's monday monday monday

00:00:14.780 how are you fighting fit ready to go bright eyed and bushy tailed i do hope you are as

00:00:18.340 always i'm joined by my producer little harry how are you this morning good sir morning yeah

00:00:22.500 all good good it's just ticked past eight in the a.m greenwich meantime on monday the

00:00:27.880 ninth of march in the year of our law 2026 you are the glorious band of chosen few

00:00:35.100 my band of brothers and sisters all right let's get straight into it what is the uh what is that

00:00:42.960 evil cabal of fleet street psychos trying to pump into your brain box this morning let's just jump 0.97

00:00:50.340 straight into it are the ayatollah sun has been chosen he is the chosen one he is the one and 0.54

00:00:56.820 iran threatens oil facilities still again go have to talk about the price of oil today i was saying

00:01:04.580 all last week wasn't i correctly accurately that the price hadn't particularly spiked for crude for

00:01:09.500 and the average price for a barrel of crude oil well it has now

00:01:12.480 they thought they thought the price of crude had spiked it has now okay the times the venerable times

00:01:22.040 let's see heston blumenthal while i'm closing my restaurant don't care okay the ayatollah son chosen

00:01:28.700 in challenge to trump as though it's a direct challenge the the body of clerics of mullahs in

00:01:35.940 iran who chose this new chap as if it's a direct challenge here to trump sort of is suppose in a way

00:01:41.480 all right hardline supreme leader elected uh by iran clerics acid rain fears as israel uh hits tehran

00:01:51.800 fuel depot let's talk first of all then just about this guy so he's the one of the sons of the old

00:01:57.740 ayatollah his second son i mean he's no spring chicken himself he's like in his mid 50s 56 or

00:02:03.760 something the old ayatollah was old he was in his mid 80s 85 86 so anyway this is son and um it's weird

00:02:11.200 it's all the reports over the weekend he's both a complete unknown entity and though people do

00:02:17.620 seem to know about his views and things so the facts are he's never given a public speech apparently

00:02:23.780 he's never sort of written loads of things that are published and known all about like his world

00:02:29.980 view and everything he's never held high office or any office apparently he never has got even the

00:02:37.900 religious credentials to be the ayatollah but they're just sort of waving that apparently

00:02:43.140 although that was the case for the old ayatollah when the first ayatollah the original the original

00:02:49.000 1979

00:02:49.580 one when he died it was only a few years after was it in the early 80s mid 80s he died

00:02:56.880 of natural causes whenever it was i think mid 80s 1984 or something um

00:03:01.700 the one that took over from him is the one that just got killed he ruled for well all that time

00:03:08.400 since the 80s until last saturday morning week ago um he i.e this guy's dad didn't necessarily have

00:03:17.800 all like the the religious credentials to be an ayatollah but they sort of waved it waved him

00:03:23.560 through so a little bit of history repeating on that so in one way he's sort of unknown right he

00:03:30.200 hasn't written loads and hasn't done loads of speeches or interviews or anything or held high

00:03:34.120 off high office but also at the same time people that are in the know

00:03:37.860 that real iranian people that have had been watching everything for years on end

00:03:45.640 and intelligence analysts i suppose so they do know what he's like what he thinks his world view

00:03:52.480 he's you know what his government and policy are likely to be like and they say it's just the same

00:03:58.280 it's exactly the same as his dad well maybe not exactly the same but he's considered a hardliner

00:04:02.940 like in iran uh very broadly speaking this is low resolution but they talk about how there are

00:04:11.660 certain people in the governmental apparatus that are some are hardliners and some are um you know

00:04:21.020 like reformers some level to some degree anyway he's just considered firmly in the camp of a hard

00:04:27.420 liner so it'll be this it'll be more of the same they think i.e death to the great satan death to

00:04:34.600 america death to israel still going to try and get nukes regardless of anything everything still 0.90

00:04:40.140 repression women've got to have their hair covered the whole nine yards right so if that's true i don't 1.00

00:04:45.380 know i'm just telling you what i've been reading over the weekend and this morning i don't know the guy

00:04:49.180 all right so it is a bit of a rebuke to trump a challenge to trump isn't it right and neti

00:04:59.040 because they would have hoped for someone they could work with certainly trump i mean the israelis

00:05:04.080 just want the whole regime gone and there's no compromise on that but there may be some compromise

00:05:09.120 in the mind of the state department and the white house if iran had elected a new ayatollah that was

00:05:16.020 completely client to the u.s demands that was always going to be unlikely wasn't it come on but

00:05:23.420 if they had things might have been different but now they're saying you know he's much the same

00:05:29.020 he's the same old story so america and israel almost certainly going to want well they are

00:05:35.640 going to want to kill him aren't they in fact there's one report later we might see that

00:05:38.960 one report take it or leave it says he's already been injured he's already injured been injured in 0.53

00:05:44.020 some sort of airstrike but okay a hardline supreme leader elected by iran clerics acid rain fears as

00:05:51.420 israel hits tehran fuel depot that's the story that tehran has been hit loads over the last nine days

00:05:57.240 of course so much so that i mean there's even sort of um tehran sits in sort of a valley there's

00:06:05.740 mountains all around tehran and it's apparently it's got some sort of it's a micro climate

00:06:10.020 um and where there's been all sorts of things blown up there including oil on some level

00:06:18.220 the sort of pool of of uh noxious gases and things just sort of sits over tehran and doesn't really

00:06:27.560 the mountains prevent it from blowing away quickly let's talk of acid rain or

00:06:33.620 uh yeah the climate that the air quality in tehran now isn't good

00:06:38.720 small story here nagging fear you can be hassled into a shorter life yeah i can believe that

00:06:48.700 hate being nagged 0.99

00:06:54.800 hate being nagged don't nag me 1.00

00:06:59.580 okay the tory graph what's the tory graph going with defiant iran turns to khomeini's son

00:07:09.520 khomeini the second okay it's an interesting picture quite a cinematic picture there isn't it

00:07:17.980 that would be tehran i think there's a number of cities that could be right now isn't it really

00:07:25.200 appointment of the new ayatollah expected to anger trump who said um the next leader won't last long

00:07:34.360 yeah both trump and israel said you're on our kill list bro good luck bro as soon as we know where you 0.98

00:07:40.840 are you're getting a tomahawk missile through the bunts 0.96

00:07:44.660 it would be a worrying position if i was him i'd be worried i mean i'd just

00:07:50.320 i'd keep underground nearly the whole time if you want to live

00:07:54.040 you know anyone's death list is not it's not gonna be a nice place to be is it

00:08:00.840 okay he's marked for death okay weld braces for a hundred dollar a barrel oil stock after tehran

00:08:11.700 fuel depot attacked by israel so okay let's talk a bit about oil because uh last week the whole time

00:08:17.680 i was saying look before this war started the price of the average price of crude oil was something

00:08:24.020 like 78 79 in the first few days or by midweek last week it had gone up to 84 85 and then towards

00:08:31.380 the end of the week it come back down to sort of 81 well on friday it spiked big time even on friday

00:08:38.480 morning it hadn't particularly spiked i would have reported it on friday if it had but now it has

00:08:42.580 so we'll see all sorts of different reporting on i mean there's loads of different ways you could

00:08:48.000 measure what is the average price of a barrel of oil okay so bear all that in mind when i give you

00:08:54.600 certain numbers or say certain numbers there's not one number it's not as simple as that and plus

00:09:00.380 different reporting will take like the most expensive one and just say that is the price of

00:09:04.200 barrel of oil or they'll report an analyst saying it could rise to as much as this but the headline

00:09:11.720 will suggest it is that already when it's not so okay

00:09:14.400 one thing that is definitely true to say um is that there's that benchmark sort of classic

00:09:21.300 psychological benchmark of whether a barrel of oil costs on average costs more or less than a hundred

00:09:26.980 dollars okay so it's tipping up and around that some types of crude are already more than that

00:09:37.120 significantly more than that

00:09:38.160 so okay i hope if you if you remember i was careful to say when i was talking about the fact

00:09:45.920 that crude oil hadn't gone the price of crude oil hadn't gone through the roof last week

00:09:49.980 i did make sure i qualified it once or twice by saying at the moment i never claimed it never would

00:09:56.720 of course i mean just to be clear just just for clarity

00:10:01.760 okay all right u.s considers putting boots on the ground to seize iran's main export terminal yeah we'll

00:10:11.520 see that in the news a bit that in the australian news and in the u.s news there's rumblings oh hey

00:10:19.760 there's rumblings coming out of the white house that they may well put boots on the ground to a limited

00:10:24.880 extent you know not mobilizing the large swathes of the u.s infantry i mean or the whole of the marine

00:10:33.400 corps or anything they're not getting the paras ready the 101st airborne is going to drop into tehran

00:10:42.800 nothing like that but well there you go at least that headline iran's main export terminal that's

00:10:47.340 right on the south coast isn't it or south west coast you could do an incursion sort of some sort of

00:10:52.380 amphibious limited boots on the ground type thing it's not a full-blown 2003 iraq invasion it's not

00:11:00.220 like massed multiple tank divisions racing across the plains of persia to to surround tehran not that

00:11:11.180 but nonetheless boots on the ground and we'll see more of that reporting later

00:11:17.660 britain should defend its interests in the straits of hormuz here's how yeah okay don't care

00:11:25.180 okay what that guy's got to say the metro

00:11:29.980 ew revolting yeah it's great

00:11:37.100 seeing a crushed slug on the pavement

00:11:38.860 well gross so kia starmer says tackling violence against women is a huge personal mission but

00:11:46.940 you're not gonna you're not gonna cap migration from countries and cultures that are known to be

00:11:53.020 extremely violent towards women on a cultural level though not that though no

00:11:59.100 no policy of re-migration people that belong to that sort of culture those cultures

00:12:09.020 no okay but you're tackling violence against women are you are you then okay as clerics choose a new

00:12:17.500 ayatollah your supreme leader it's a death sentence not wrong 1.00

00:12:23.900 i mean he might survive mightn't he but it's something close to a death sentence isn't it

00:12:34.700 one would have thought okay the metro says we'll pursue every successor everyone every successor

00:12:42.380 warns israel and trump insists uh i'll need to approve him well he already hasn't approved him he said

00:12:48.940 he's called him a number of things already he called him like a lightweight

00:12:51.500 a bit of an odd type of criticism but he said he's unacceptable i think he said

00:12:59.820 so yeah netty and the donald in lockstep on that one they don't like the new guy

00:13:05.340 u.s president mocks a little bit late starmer again while middle east burns for ninth day

00:13:12.700 i mean so yeah uh the starmer the special relationship this is in the headlines a bit we'll

00:13:17.580 see in a moment the special relationship basically it looks like well britain umdenard didn't we

00:13:23.260 flip-flopped back and forth what two or three times about whether we would let the american

00:13:27.740 u.s air force well and navy and army based aircraft as well use our particularly cyprus airbase

00:13:35.900 there's two air bases there anyway well it just seems that we are i mean there's just there's just

00:13:40.540 we saw an image last week didn't we wasn't it friday of a of a u2 plane flying in or out of there

00:13:46.460 over the weekend i saw b1s landing there taxiing around there so in that airbase our air the rf

00:13:53.740 airbase on cyprus so we just are okay and there was more words between starmer and trump or really from

00:14:04.140 trump one one thing he said over the weekend he said and i'm paraphrasing slightly but it was almost

00:14:09.580 exactly this he said we don't we don't really like we don't need allies that turn up late

00:14:15.580 or we don't need allies that turn up after we've already won a war

00:14:21.980 we haven't won it yet donald but okay all right fair enough if that's what you think that's how you feel

00:14:31.340 i can see why purely from the american point of view i mean i've made it clear haven't i over the last few

00:14:36.620 days last week what i thought i was kind of agreed with keir starmer it's like we shouldn't just jump

00:14:44.620 every time israel and america by proxy tell us to jump i'm not interested in that particularly

00:14:54.220 however however if you're going if you're going to be in the special relationship you're going to be

00:15:00.220 their lap dog their poodle in some way or other then then then do it then do that don't flip-flop

00:15:07.020 one way or another spend 10 days umming and ahhing about it make a decision one way the other and stick

00:15:11.740 to it but okay trump says we don't want people that turn up after we've already won well you haven't

00:15:16.300 already won yet i mean you probably will in a battlefield sense you almost certainly will but

00:15:21.180 all right okay the financial times look there's a building on fire was that in tehran i think all right

00:15:26.780 the financial times us and israel israel intensify strikes on iranians they've got air superiority 0.97

00:15:32.540 now it seems they can fly fast jets and even big bombers over the skies of iran they don't have to

00:15:37.340 seemingly don't have to worry about you know massed strikes from sam's surface to air missiles 0.94

00:15:46.620 or like the normal drones they only go like 121 an hour or something so fast jet doesn't need to worry

00:15:51.740 about them even an old sort even an f-15 or an f-16 doesn't have to worry about it certainly an

00:16:00.220 f-35 or an f-22 don't there's no threat whatsoever so all right it seems like they have got full air

00:16:06.460 superiority now in the skies above persia tehran response targets sorry tehran tehran response

00:16:14.460 targets washington's allies in gulf there's one thing that's done over the weekend the president of

00:16:19.660 iran who's different to the ayatollah it's like the supreme leader like uh the head of state

00:16:27.260 like the president of the united states or the king of england but then you've got like a head

00:16:31.420 of government like the prime minister so that's what they've got and he said i think it was on

00:16:38.220 saturday but anyway over the weekend maybe it's on friday i think saturday said um i'm sorry he said

00:16:44.540 i want to apologize on behalf of myself and iran for bombing all our neighbors uae qatar bahrain kuwait 0.52

00:16:52.540 wherever oman saudi jordan azerbaijan i was i want to apologize and we won't do it anymore unless unless

00:17:03.660 american or israeli attacks come from there in which case we still reserve the right to keep bombing you 0.79

00:17:09.020 but if you don't then we won't so he said that but then still but then still over the coming

00:17:15.500 hours and couple of days there are still just iranian drones and missiles falling on these places

00:17:21.420 like jubai so so just one more example where you you can't you really can't trust i mean you can't

00:17:29.500 really trust israel in the united states but you really can't trust tehran when they say something 0.94

00:17:34.780 and then they still do the opposite i mean there's no one really trustworthy in all of this is there

00:17:45.420 but okay oil states slash production or cut down or shut down fields entirely

00:17:53.340 yeah well that's true the lng light natural gas or liquefied natural gas um out of qatar

00:18:04.540 loads of lng comes out of qatar did it was a fifth or a quarter of all of it in the whole world comes

00:18:10.460 from qatar and they've just stopped just entirely stopped production so okay crude traders warm prices

00:18:17.420 closing in on a hundred dollars a barrel i mean we'll see later that there's one at least one they're

00:18:21.820 saying it's 110 dollars a barrel it's 119 dollars a barrel it just all depends exactly what you're

00:18:27.740 talking about and how you measure it but anyway i suppose the takeaway point is it's in that ballpark

00:18:34.700 up and around that ballpark trump dismisses increase of oil prices as a little glitch quote a little glitch

00:18:44.220 that is fine we'll see i suppose we'll see if this is all over in four five six weeks and the oil price

00:18:57.500 returns to a reasonable level i.e something under a hundred dollars barrel back down to 70 80 odd then

00:19:06.540 that will prove to be true won't it basically but who knows it might not all right what have we got

00:19:14.460 here the garden you know we see you the garden you know we've noticed right that you're seditious

00:19:25.260 and revolting and everything you know we know we've seen that right you get that most people know that 0.59

00:19:29.580 right of them weirdo leftists crypto commies champagne socialists other than those everyone else 0.54

00:19:37.260 thinks you're mad and revolting right you know that right okay okay the guardian fears for global 0.84

00:19:43.740 economy grow as iran threatens oil facilities okay we okay we got it a scene of destruction

00:19:51.660 tony blair there look a little picture of tony blair what's he uh what's going on here

00:19:57.420 starmer tries to repair repair relationship with trump tony blair came out over the weekend and said

00:20:02.940 predictably starmer you should have been lockstep behind the united states from moment one of this

00:20:10.940 anything other than that was mental that's what sir tony blair knight of the garter said

00:20:16.300 predictably predictably right

00:20:25.660 okay that's that there's one headline later in a minute in fact we'll see

00:20:30.380 it sparked outrage among some

00:20:32.540 is it really the independent helen pankhurst my great-grandma emilion emeline

00:20:44.940 pankhurst didn't suffer for our rights to be rolled back pipe down love

00:20:51.900 don't worry your pretty little head about things don't worry about it

00:20:54.780 except it's not a pretty head is it but just go get me a beer woman go make me a sandwich 1.00

00:21:06.940 okay iran war threatens to bring energy crisis to uk okay the bombing of iranian oil depots

00:21:13.500 retaliatory strikes across the gulf and disruption in the strait of hormuz

00:21:17.500 in the straits of hormuz is hiking prices prompting warnings oil could reach 150 dollars a barrel

00:21:25.500 and of gas shortfall in britain

00:21:28.060 so you will see that in one other team but i think it was goldman sachs

00:21:32.460 uh predicted some of their analysts said that the price could go as high as it isn't right now but

00:21:36.860 could go as high as 150 dollars a barrel

00:21:39.260 okay we don't know you know none of us knows what the future holds to me it's not yet written

00:21:48.860 but yeah maybe that maybe that will prove to be true it's not inconceivable it's far from inconceivable

00:21:53.340 isn't it okay the daily mail pure slop talking about this woman who used to dance on tv and now and now

00:22:01.980 she's not okay middle east in flames starmer's humbling phone call to trump yeah apparently they

00:22:09.100 had a telephone call and starmer's a bit grovelling some people have characterized it as humbling or

00:22:16.060 grovelling crisis talks to repair special relationship after trump hit out a once great ally

00:22:23.980 yeah okay from america's point of view purely try and imagine

00:22:28.780 purely from like hegseth's and trump's point of view it would just be annoying and frustrating

00:22:37.500 but you don't have to do what they say we're not actually the 51st england isn't actually the 51st

00:22:44.860 state of the united states is it there you go i can see why they would be frustrated by it obviously

00:22:53.020 a bit like how we were frustrated they didn't help us out in the series crisis

00:22:59.260 or the fulcrums okay prime minister's slow response to the crisis in iran a dereliction of

00:23:07.420 duty i think this is tory mps said this incompetent starmer is killing special relationship

00:23:13.740 i think it was tory's basically said this yeah um well i mean if the special relationship means we do

00:23:23.020 whatever israel want then 0.74

00:23:28.540 special needs relationship right the eye paper the eye paper easter holidays at risk as fallout from

00:23:36.540 middle east war spreads basically did you did you have a holiday in cyprus planned

00:23:40.940 probably better not to go sort of that isn't it were you planning to go hiking through the

00:23:50.540 the cedar forest covered hills of lebanon this easter if so probably cancel that

00:24:00.060 okay defiant iran names late ayatollah sun as the next supreme leader as starmer scrambles

00:24:06.380 scrambles to save special relationship from trump savaging okay scrambling away from a a trump

00:24:14.700 savaging okay i'll quickly read the blurb because it sort of tells it all doesn't it the ipad is good

00:24:20.220 for that i think the front page british holiday makers could see travel to cyprus dubai and other

00:24:25.420 destinations disrupted as flights are cancelled due to iranian drone and missile threat yes over the

00:24:31.660 weekend there was a bit of footage of an iranian drone landing in dubai's airport near a hangar you

00:24:39.020 know not crazy destruction again it's not the blitz is it it's not a mass wave of 10 000 drones but

00:24:44.540 still one did hit it's a worry isn't it i wouldn't want to get a flight in or out of

00:24:49.100 dubai airport right now to be perfectly honest and you take most affected nothing's happening in dubai

00:27:30.700 rational society after his conviction he should have been hung by the neck until dead surely 0.86

00:27:38.700 apparently eight days before he was attacked he's got a pen pal

00:27:42.940 of some woman i think sweet isn't that's a well-known documented thing isn't it that

00:28:20.780 interested anymore either they've gone with that a particular curry restaurant is closing down

00:28:28.940 so i think it might be the oldest curry house in the whole of britain is closing down and the star

00:28:42.540 have got their own internal campaign to try and keep it open to try and save it

00:28:46.860 and now they've got they've enlisted the help of this guy who's a complete nobody he happens to be

00:28:51.900 mahatma gandhi's great-grandson latest in bid to save uk's oldest indian restaurant don't

00:28:57.020 shop don't shut my great gandhi's curry house freedom fighter mahatma's descendant joins appeal

00:29:04.220 it's big news this big news that is this guy who in and of himself is utterly inconsequential

00:29:11.340 happens to be the great-grandson of of meddling solicitor mahatma gandhi

00:29:17.820 backward mahatma gandhi wife beater mahatma gandhi there you go that's the news that's that what

00:29:27.900 that's what the star thinks is front page news because they're mental really aren't they

00:29:34.700 all right that's the papers did we have a poll we must have had a poll we had a poll didn't we

00:29:40.140 uh bring it up harry engage make it so all right so our poll today said how long will the new ayatollah

00:29:49.980 last okay well over well not well over but over a thousand people have voted on that now and your

00:29:56.700 options were to the question how long will the new ayatollah last we could have answered forever ever

00:30:04.700 forever ever uh one week one year or he's already dead

00:30:14.380 not funny really okay forever ever has got 10 percent one week 40 percent one year 13 and he's

00:30:25.420 already dead 38 so in other words it's a close run thing between one week and he's already dead

00:30:34.700 yeah if i was if i was taking that poll i probably

00:30:39.100 i probably would have either clicked one week or one year might well have clicked one week i think

00:30:45.420 which is just about winning the poll so he might last more than a week my real real take would be

00:30:53.100 i don't know he might last a few weeks or a few months i suspect probably they will get him at some point

00:30:58.060 sooner rather than later i would have thought you know of course i don't know

00:31:04.860 i'm not privy to the planners in jerusalem and dc but yeah they obviously want to get him

00:31:13.020 they've made it explicitly clear they want to get him it could be any time from now or it could be

00:31:17.900 that he is already dead there's one report maybe we'll see it later i don't know but there is one

00:31:22.140 report i saw this morning saying that he's injured he's already been injured in some sort of blast

00:31:27.100 one way or another so yeah i suppose if i was taking that poll i would have clicked one week i suppose

00:31:35.260 all right there you go so all right shall we that was the poll should we have a look at the actual uh

00:31:40.940 websites then for this morning the 9th of march what have we got here

00:31:44.940 okay the oil prices is passes a hundred dollars a barrel depending on how you measure it on average

00:31:51.340 but okay um he's the new supreme oh he was quite an interesting uh article from the bbc he just in

00:32:00.700 maps nine days of strikes across the middle east and they show a fair few maps for anyone just listening

00:32:06.700 to the audio of this i'll have to sort of explain it a bit so bear with me if you are watching it but a

00:32:12.140 lot of people just listen to it while they're getting ready in the morning or driving and stuff

00:32:16.140 so okay there's one map there and it shows all the various places that have been here in tehran

00:32:21.660 and it's been peppered isn't it i mean there's another way to describe that it's been pretty

00:32:26.220 peppered if you lived in that city you would feel under bombardment wouldn't you you would feel like

00:32:35.180 something could fall out of the sky on your head at any moment it's like if you lived there

00:32:38.700 or you lived there or there you would think well my fate is in the lap of the gods i could get blown

00:32:48.220 to pieces any moment you would as well you would think that wouldn't you okay here's a map of the all

00:32:53.820 of iran once again the general impression is that it's been peppered from top to bottom basically isn't it

00:33:01.100 from top to bottom okay uh this what's the next one it shows yeah in lebanon and israel the red dots are

00:33:14.060 what iran has done purple ones of what israel have done and the blue ones are what hezbollah have done so

00:33:20.700 i mean it's quite a lot isn't it really it's quite a lot certainly in the hezbollah israel

00:33:30.780 element of this it's not small potatoes is it's not the odd thing

00:33:37.980 i would say is there any other ones oh yeah look here's a map of showing bahrain qatar and the uae

00:33:45.020 again this puts paid to the to the incorrect take from andrew tate that nothing's really going on in

00:33:52.620 dubai calling back in two days on saturday i think he said last saturday not the saturday just gone the

00:33:58.860 one before that so call him in two days this isn't a war this is a it's just an event there's nothing

00:34:04.780 really happening uh uh okay he's wrong just simply wrong just flat out wrong okay i mean it's not really

00:34:15.180 a surprise is it all right what else have we got um oh yeah glasgow's main station glasgow central

00:34:25.580 train station burnt down how did that happen what happened there you might ask a vape shop

00:34:34.780 we all know the types of people that own and run vape shops foreign people that are using it as a

00:34:40.940 front for money laundering or or drug or people trafficking or drugs or whatever so a vape shop next

00:34:49.740 to glasgow central train station calls to fire and now the whole thing's burnt down

00:34:58.300 great there you go there you go diversity is a strength though open borders is a strength though

00:35:03.500 isn't it it's our greatest strength actually it's our greatest strength not just a strength

00:35:13.740 well that's just what happens these days isn't it just what happens in a multi multicultural society

00:35:19.180 just accept it just get over it don't cry about it don't be fragile don't expect things not just

00:35:26.380 burn down all the time don't be bigger about it there's firing at rihanna's beverly hills home we don't

00:35:35.580 know many details about exactly what happened there at the moment but lots of gunfire was reported at rihanna's house

00:35:42.540 crufts crufts was last night that dog one oh look at him what a good boy love dogs me love them

00:35:55.100 this is basically the best dog in the world right now it's the hottest dog in the world right now

00:36:00.460 the only keep they look oh best in show okay all right um

00:36:11.100 what else do we have uh okay should we just move on there was something on the itv news i thought was

00:36:15.980 interesting uh beyond what we've we've already talked about um um oh no sorry was it

00:36:25.260 the sky news bear with me a moment oh yeah there's more news some guy was found dead in a um in a

00:36:31.020 wetsuit and they don't know who he is

00:36:35.820 again there's a scottish fire making a lot of the news cancer rates are down that's nice here isn't it

00:36:40.940 like significantly down like 10 or more than 10 percent less cancer there's a certain types of cancer

00:36:47.580 massive reduction

00:36:48.460 pancreatic cancer breast cancer bowel cancer leukemia they're all sort of down that's good

00:36:55.580 isn't it that's that's great news ultimately like a what bit a little bit of a white pill

00:36:59.660 you know we haven't cured cancer exactly all different cancers different anyway some are much

00:37:04.460 more survivable than others but in the general trend down by something like 10 or more slightly

00:37:11.660 so i'll say some much more than that so okay good good all right the daily mail had one or two

00:37:20.620 slightly interesting things i thought uh starmer's humbling phone call uh this headline ministers admit

00:37:29.180 keir starmer's quote reset with eu will hammer thousands of businesses uh with costly brussels

00:37:36.300 red tape even if they don't trade with the bloc sparking fresh accusations of brexit betrayal yeah

00:37:40.940 complete complete complete and utter brexit betrayal like bring back european red tape why why

00:37:50.140 didn't the tory party rip itself to pieces over that didn't we have a national debate that lasted

00:37:55.180 decades and then a referendum over all of that but no starmer it's a queer starlin 1.00

00:38:02.540 and his gang of morons want to return us to it why because they just act not in our interest don't 0.99

00:38:12.140 they repeatedly this woman this crazy police woman says police woman who lied and said an innocent 1.00

00:38:18.780 officer sexually assaulted her because she was late for work is jailed

00:38:22.700 apparently the story is this woman a police woman was late for work one day and when she was sort of

00:38:29.340 asked why she said uh some guy called watson

00:38:37.180 stopped her in the street that morning and there was a sexual assault took place and stuff and it was

00:38:43.900 just shown to be complete liars okay it's only an individual story so essentially slop but um right

00:38:52.380 there's some footage of the train station in glasgow burning down because of a vape shop

00:39:00.220 vape shop inferno causes historic building to collapse

00:39:03.740 and we need the number of vape shops we've got in this country do we need them all

00:39:14.540 doesn't one town center need one maybe two vape shops at most

00:39:20.300 why would any big city have dozens maybe hundreds of vape shops

00:39:28.140 well they're fronts for money laundering aren't they and people smuggling of course

00:39:31.180 of course they are okay killjoy greens want to abolish zoos and force every dog owner to have 0.98

00:39:38.940 a license yeah because they're mad yeah because they're mad i want to destroy our way of life 0.62

00:39:42.620 and everything we hold dear really don't know that's what they really want it's not about

00:39:45.900 environmentalism is it it's about destroying our society that insane islamophobia and communism 1.00

00:39:52.540 isn't it that's what it is a toxic rift between wonder uh between one division stars 0.88

00:39:58.540 something about harry styles don't care do not care all right let's move on what else have we got

00:40:04.860 there's a bit of the express oh yeah sadiq khan 40 000 people demand khan quit after he stonewalled

00:40:12.380 nine times on grooming gangs yeah that's the thing uh the mayor of london has always done isn't it

00:40:19.660 at the london assembly whenever he's asked about grooming gangs in london or just in

00:40:23.340 in the wider context but specifically in london are there any grooming gangs in london

00:40:27.660 what's going on he'll just stonewall it he'll just prevaricate he'll just change the subject to try and

00:40:34.300 argue that the person even asking that is racist in some way islamophobic in some way

00:40:39.660 just change the subject refuse to answer it that's what he does wonder why that is

00:40:45.500 is it because ultimately he's he's in group his tribal

00:40:50.620 racial and religious loyalties are to other pakistanis and muslims not londoners not english people 0.57

00:41:03.100 even in the face of industrial level industrial scale amounts of rape 0.97

00:41:10.540 often child rape often gang child rape even in the face of that his loyalties will still be to 0.98

00:41:15.660 the muslim community yeah 0.99

00:41:22.780 oh but we should assimilate should we we just need to work harder on assimilation 0.95

00:41:27.740 do we no get rid of them send them back to their ancestral homelands they're in the wrong country 1.00

00:41:36.300 mass remigration aim higher vote low millions must go millions yeah 0.95

00:41:41.660 remigration is inevitable it's got to be inevitable otherwise we end up in a sectarian nightmare like 1.00

00:41:48.700 yugoslava in the 1990s or south africa one or the other choose a sectarian nightmare like 0.87

00:41:54.860 yugoslava in the 1990s or a program of mass remigration is one or the other

00:42:00.700 pretty simple at this point thanks for that blair thanks cameron thanks boris for locking that in

00:42:06.700 good work good work all right the sun the sun in huntly's dead they lead with in huntly's dead

00:42:20.380 this woman shot her two kids and then herself oh thanks for that son thanks thanks for bringing 1.00

00:42:24.780 that to me well done lisa nandy this is rich get a load of this the culture secretary this ugly bird 1.00

00:42:32.940 here lisa nandley lisa nandy she says act fast extremist charities abusing their status to spread

00:42:41.340 hate set to be shut down faster in government crackdown it's coming from lisa nandy if you don't know 0.89

00:42:49.100 lisa nandy's father and lisa nandy herself heavily involved in a thing called the runnymede trust

00:42:56.460 looking to the runnymede trust what they are who they are what they argue what they say

00:43:00.380 just so you know they argue for a multi-racial not just multicultural a multi-racial britain

00:43:10.380 that britain already isn't multi-racial enough it must be more in other words trying to lock in our 0.97

00:43:16.620 demographic replacement trying to replace us trying to make us a hated and marginalized minority in our 0.97

00:43:24.460 one and only ancestral homeland that's the running me trust oh but not this she's not talking about

00:43:33.660 the running me trust there of course that's not an extremist charity to want to make us a minority in

00:43:40.300 our own homeland that's not extremist according to lisa nandy this subversive political cultural pervert

00:43:49.900 the culture secretary what a perversion to have her as the culture secretary

00:44:00.460 trying to shut down extremist charities what does she mean by that some islamic ones maybe

00:44:07.500 much more likely anything that's nativist or patriotic in any way probably

00:44:12.060 anything that would argue against the goals of the runnymede trust i would have thought

00:44:20.780 lisa nandy history will look back history will look back and say how or why was it

00:44:29.740 that britain was flooded by millions of people that millions of invaders 0.99

00:44:37.420 that caused a secretarian nightmare in the mid 21st century how did that come about the answer is

00:44:43.420 people like lisa nandy and the running me trust that's the answer

00:44:51.020 anyone watching this video 100 years from now when that whole thing has been and gone

00:44:56.860 why how did it happen people like lisa nandy and her father and the running me trust

00:45:01.660 that's rich isn't it but she's going to shut down other types of charities okay a raging inferno in 1.00

00:45:12.780 scotland bombs going off in tehran it's all going down isn't it our new tank

00:45:22.140 rod liddle quite like rod liddle actually he's usually quite based to be fair

00:45:25.660 having a pop at starmer yeah uk is skint and and nhs is crumbling so what's kia doing blowing billions

00:45:33.820 on wokery yeah of course he is yeah because he's too far left even for like the fabians 0.97

00:45:42.220 when he was a younger man like the 70s even the fabians were like a bit too commie for us 0.91

00:45:50.380 all right okay should we hop across the pond what's the time it's already quarter two we'll

00:45:58.460 hop across the pond real quick have a quick look here so the new york slimes son of slain ayatollah

00:46:04.700 is expected to continue hardline theocratic rule yeah so he'll be on a death list iran's new leader

00:46:13.900 is a mysterious figure to some extent yeah pentagon announces seventh u.s death in war with iran

00:46:23.980 okay the odd person he's getting killed on the u.s side i mean there's loads on the other side of

00:46:31.580 course um all right the washington post again about the the new leader the new leader in australia there

00:46:39.660 is uh if we go down under how good are you how good this interesting story this interesting story

00:46:49.340 they're talking about i think it was an ex australian ambassador or u.s ambassador to i can't

00:46:55.500 remember if it's a u.s ambassador to australia or an australian ambassador to the u.s anyway he was

00:47:00.300 saying that there will be boots on the ground by the end of next week ie this week extremely sensitive

00:47:07.340 donald trump will put u.s quote boots on the ground in iran by end of next week warns former

00:47:13.260 ambassador so yeah the story is just saying that trump and i guess hegsith and ruby have decided that

00:47:20.780 they are going to need to put some boots on the ground at least to a limited degree

00:47:25.660 if they're going to change the regime

00:47:30.540 and it's coming from a relatively good source his name is joe hockey

00:47:34.620 um whether he really knows what he's talking about i mean he'd know what he's talking about

00:47:43.180 more than 99.99999 of people on this earth but still whether he's truly 100 plugged in or not i

00:47:49.100 don't know but that's what he's saying okay that's what he's saying yeah that they will have to put

00:47:55.820 boots on the ground at some point somewhere along the line all right let's have a quick look at

00:48:02.300 germany even they said that the america is now using ramstein effort so you don't need to be able

00:48:08.460 to read german to get what's being said there b1 bomber ramstein there you go so the germans are 0.63

00:48:16.140 definitely on board where they would always be likely to be more on board

00:48:19.260 okay in france le monde running with israel's reservists pillars of a nation growing accustomed

00:48:30.060 to a protracted war well yeah they'd have to be wouldn't they they'd have to be what other choice

00:48:35.900 have they possibly got all right let's have a look at on this day in history last five minutes before

00:48:40.700 i get to the rumble rants of super chat shall we you like this section i like this section quick five

00:48:45.260 minutes of what happened on this day in history the ninth of march then through the centuries

00:48:49.180 what went down on the ninth of march all right on this year in 141 bc liu chi probably mispronouncing

00:48:56.140 that posthumously known as emperor wu of han assumes the throw of the han dynasty in china and rules for

00:49:02.460 54 years so yeah key one in ancient chinese history there you go uh the reformation is talking about in on

00:49:09.500 this day in uh 1522 martin luther not to be confused with martin luther king two very different people

00:49:17.740 the martin luther of lutherism fame begins preaching his invocavit sermons again not sure if i'm

00:49:25.660 pronouncing that properly in the german city of wittenberg wittenberg reminding citizens to trust god's

00:49:32.700 to trust god's word rather than violence helping bring to a close the revolutionary stage of the

00:49:38.220 reformation it's very very interesting i've talked about luther a few times before talked all about

00:49:44.940 the age of the reformation talked about catherine de medici and some of the medici popes and all

00:49:50.140 sorts of things on epochs harry and the paywall on lotusseaters.com i've got my own history themed channel

00:49:57.660 well over 250 episodes all long form so hundreds and hundreds of hours of me talking about history

00:50:02.940 at various times i've talked all about luther the the life of luther whether you're a protestant or

00:50:08.620 a catholic or not even a christian is fascinating the story of it is absolutely fascinating so anyway

00:50:15.580 martin luther although credited with kicking off the the protestant reformation in germany at least or in

00:50:22.380 europe um he actually wasn't sort of a hard line um sort of revolutionary stripe of protestant like he was

00:50:32.380 aghast when when lutherans so-called lutherans and calvinists and various other types of process

00:50:38.940 anabaptists and things when they went around destroying stained glass windows 1.00

00:50:46.380 smashing in sometimes burning down catholic churches and sorts of things he was aghast by

00:50:50.140 that it's like that's not what i want that's not what i meant don't do that

00:50:55.260 hardline protestants would write to him and say you're on board with us right we're going to destroy 0.96

00:51:00.220 every catholic church right we're going to murder all the catholic priests yeah he'd be like no i 0.98

00:51:05.260 want nothing to do with you that's not what i was saying you've gone too far saying okay it's just 0.86

00:51:10.540 interesting to note that luther himself was relatively moderate for those days the early 16th century

00:51:21.100 interesting guy a very very interesting person martin luther need to know about him really if you're

00:51:27.340 interested in the history of christianity or the reformation or the counter-reformation or the

00:51:33.500 history of germany the history of europe in the middle ages the wars of religion all of that

00:51:39.820 got to do martin luther got to be into him all right on this day in 1776 adam smith publishes the

00:51:46.140 influential economics book the wealth of nations yes very influential to call it influential is an

00:51:50.780 understatement it's a cornerstone of economic theory to this day in various ways depending on your

00:51:58.220 economic views you know a marxist wouldn't agree with that there you go yeah the wealth of nations

00:52:07.820 i've tried to read it a few times can't really get through it i would use it's pretty dense for me

00:52:14.940 i've just i've obviously read around it i've read synopsis of it i've read analysis of it

00:52:19.180 the thing itself is a a difficult read i'll be honest you need to know about it i think it's best

00:52:29.100 to know about it okay on this day in 1918 the russian bolshevik parties renamed the all russian communist

00:52:35.900 party there you go because by 1918 obviously that's post the bolshevik revolution and they wanted to

00:52:42.940 appear that they weren't like a tiny faction of socialists communists they were something bigger

00:52:52.300 and broader than that although they never were really it was always a tiny cabal but that's

00:52:56.700 government government is always a tiny cabal there's a great churchill quote i can't remember exactly but

00:53:02.860 to paraphrase it was something like the smaller the inner core of power is the the better that's

00:53:08.460 the way it's always got to be so i think so all right on this day in 1933 u.s congress is called

00:53:13.820 into a special session by president roosevelt frank today no roosevelt beginning its 100 days

00:53:20.860 during which it passes 77 laws yeah so this is roosevelt's attempt to drag the united states out

00:53:27.980 of the great depression the new deal and all sorts of things so they needed a raft of new legislation to do

00:53:35.020 that uh was his calculation um okay on this day 1961 soviet flight sputnik 9 carries and returns from

00:53:43.740 orbit a dog named blackie frogs and a guinea pig there's a picture that's a different dog that's not

00:53:50.700 blackie that's like although it says there like that was sputnik 2 much earlier like a few years

00:53:57.580 earlier 1957 or something they sent a dog up that little terrier that cute little terrier who died

00:54:03.660 leica died blackie survived though i believe might be wrong about that leica definitely died well it

00:54:12.380 says there she was sent launched to her death made the ultimate sacrifice she looks like a little jack 0.87

00:54:20.380 russell or jack russell cross with something or other oh sad poor leica all right that's on this day in

00:54:29.180 history shall we have a look now for the last five minutes or so at the uh rumble rants and super

00:54:33.660 chats all right let's have a look here we've got we've got rumble rants we've got a fair few

00:54:40.700 uh we've got quite a few actually my mic stands in the way i have to do this okay uh st luke says um

00:54:51.580 good day beau hope you had a good weekend and i and i don't see this guy living long i guess you

00:54:56.780 talk about the new ayatollah yeah he's already already he's already wearing a red shirt just

00:55:03.580 keep bombing them they'll eventually run out of leaders or we could just drop a nuke there is

00:55:10.460 always that option the pentagon whenever asked about it always say nothing's off the table

00:55:14.620 that's always their line would you drop a nuke are you gonna nuke them nothing's off the table

00:55:18.780 there's almost certainly no need to drop a nuke is it that would that would be that would be overkill

00:55:28.220 wouldn't it almost certainly all right haydeen w says good morning beau what did you have for

00:55:34.460 breakfast today haven't had any breakfast this is like my second cup of tea that's it

00:55:38.220 someone's asked me that before usually for me personally eating something first thing in the

00:55:46.220 morning is i'm not hungry it's like ashes in my mouth like forcing down a bit of toast when i'm

00:55:51.420 not hungry and it's like yeah so i don't usually i maybe have something at mid-morning but my first

00:55:57.180 meal is usually lunch so i haven't had anything this morning just a couple cups of tea okay

00:56:03.420 luke stewart says i'm getting more of my news from memes than the actual news i've also heard

00:56:10.540 from china if you're not uh talking about it that they're really struggling due to oil more than

00:56:16.940 most countries okay interesting maybe um yeah well they did get quite a lot of their crude certainly

00:56:24.380 they're crude from the gulf they'll work around it they'll work around it or maybe they won't i don't

00:56:31.020 know i would have thought there's other places they can get oil there's actually quite a lot of

00:56:37.500 oil producing countries in the world at least for america i mean america is the biggest one isn't it

00:56:43.100 right canada have got massive reserves okay busted uh brian says so beau have you seen have you heard

00:56:52.460 have you seen this have you heard about this uh your country now has now has horseback sharia patrols

00:56:59.580 that the police refuse to engage with okay i don't know about horseback ones i haven't seen that i

00:57:04.700 don't know what you're referring to there i haven't seen that recently and i haven't been on the internet

00:57:07.980 or twitter much over the weekend but yeah there have been sharia patrols certain parts of london and

00:57:12.620 birmingham and places that's not all that new yeah and the police often refuse to do anything about it

00:57:19.900 yeah it's worrying isn't it your country i don't know if you're from america or not but wherever you

00:57:28.460 find any sort of significant muslim population that will be the case it's not just in britain

00:57:34.220 i don't know what country you're from uh brian but there you go no you're right though i don't

00:57:38.700 know about the horseback thing though i have to have to google that in a minute

00:57:44.940 wow horseback it'll be camelback soon

00:57:52.380 they'll be riding camel a sharia police on camelback in white chapel 0.80

00:57:56.780 i mean

00:58:04.700 that got a laugh but um

00:58:07.100 okay it might happen it's not that insane is it uh ryan hin uh hinnigan with the three in it ryan

00:58:14.060 hinnigan says uh boris johnson is now a professor in miami and and uh jakinta ardern wasn't she the

00:58:21.260 uh kiwi new zealand leader while back is a professor at harvard why are we collecting

00:58:27.580 traitor pm's from the anglosphere and putting them in universities good question i mean the answer 1.00

00:58:32.540 is is because a lot of universities are entirely captured by socialists and globalists and traitors

00:58:41.340 so the people that make the decisions in there like harvard will think that someone like boris

00:58:46.300 johnson or jakita ardern jakinda ardern they'll think they're heroes that's why isn't it that is

00:58:54.620 why uh luke stewart says i heard trump is moving to try and capture the straight i guess this means

00:59:01.500 straits for moves uh to get more control over china i mean quite possibly global oil shipments

00:59:08.700 on a funny note every time i hear referred to b2 i keep thinking of bananas in pajamas bananas

00:59:15.260 in pajamas are coming down the stairs yeah uh it could well be well it certainly is in america's

00:59:22.540 interest to screw with china's oil supply isn't it and most people in the whole world will lose out

00:59:31.100 at least in the wallet from this but i'll tell you who doesn't lose out in the wallet

00:59:37.260 american oil producing and oil exporting companies they'll make massive profits

00:59:45.900 so it's trying so if trump is acting in their interests

00:59:50.860 then he's winning isn't it it's a win for them whilst everyone else loses money

00:59:56.220 because remember petroleum crude oil it's not just it doesn't just end up as petrol does it

01:00:01.580 ends up as a million and one different things plastics the entire plastics industry

01:00:07.580 there's many many cuts of a barrel right many many different products you get from a barrel of crude oil

01:00:15.500 not just guzzling not just petrol a million and one things okay um luke again says uh too bad britain

01:00:26.300 doesn't have an entire sea up north that could produce them a ton of energy maybe this should be brought

01:00:32.460 up in question time in parliament yeah anyone that knows about it knows that the north sea

01:00:37.500 oil reserves are gigantic one of the biggest in the whole world they think

01:00:45.740 so if we didn't have crazy people like keir starmer and red ed milliband

01:00:50.140 and lisa nandy and whoever david lammy or if our government wasn't those types saying that it's just

01:00:56.460 wrong and bad to drill for oil in the north sea it isn't it isn't at all but they say it is

01:01:02.700 you can't have coal-powered power stations and you can't drill in the north sea or build nuclear power

01:01:10.220 stations

01:01:13.900 so our energy prices are insane because we have to port it from whoever

01:01:18.220 so all our energy prices absolutely through the roof just because they they've got that world view

01:01:22.780 which doesn't make sense okay well if you live in ed milliband's constituency

01:01:30.060 consider not voting for him in 2029 that's all i can say

01:01:35.820 luke again says it's going to be interesting if this continues any longer do you think venezuela is

01:01:40.940 going to start ramping up production with people investing in there and do you think it's already

01:01:44.780 started now yeah yeah so america are spending and doing as much as they possibly can it seems

01:01:49.980 to get all of venezuela's uh oil industry up online but that will take a while that will take like a

01:01:56.540 year that'll take two years that will take a long time before so for example over the weekend i read

01:02:01.660 or listened to something rather that said at the moment venezuela is pumping out something like

01:02:06.300 a million barrels a day is that something like that in other words that's not very much

01:02:10.700 well it sounds like a lot and it is a lot but in the scheme of things it's not that much

01:02:15.660 i think that was the number anyway but it'll take a year or two before venezuela's really um

01:02:23.180 firing on all cylinders on that front but as i understand it america is trying to get that to

01:02:28.540 happen as quickly as possible uh look again says iran using human shields i'm not surprised one of their

01:02:36.460 proxies uh does it in gaza yeah and did you read up on the lesbian new zealand navy captain no i

01:02:43.420 god i completely forgot sorry i completely forgot i'll have to okay i've got to do that

01:02:49.020 straight after this otherwise i'll forget again but that is interesting to me that is interesting

01:02:55.180 i will do okay the last rumble rant busted brian says i'm a yank but i don't say your country to

01:03:00.860 be demeaning or anything that's okay brian don't worry about it

01:03:03.100 i'm half yank aren't i my father was from the west coast from oregon go ducks

01:03:15.420 yeah that's all right mate don't worry about it i know i know that's cool thanks for the super chat

01:03:21.580 and all the super chats you send in all right and uh the youtube super chats harry you need to

01:03:27.260 do that for me all right we've got a dozen or so here let's uh quickly run through this global

01:03:35.020 church history says today 1074 i guess 1074 in the year ad 1074 gregory the seventh excommunicates

01:03:44.620 married priests yes that's in around that's just after sort of the great schism times isn't it if memory

01:03:50.540 serves they'll be in and around the great schism time um and there are all sorts of abuses even in

01:04:00.140 the 11th century priests not really playing by the rules properly getting married all over the place

01:04:06.940 you're supposed to be married to the church okay gregory the seventh had enough of that stop that

01:04:13.660 we'll have no priests getting married here all right king philip 1861 says bo why doesn't anyone speak of

01:04:23.020 the cornish other than hens always welsh and scots am i missing something always curious in oregon or

01:04:34.300 another oregonian um yeah the cornish i mean i am very cornish when i got my dna tested i got it done

01:04:42.460 on two different ones i got it done on ancestry.com and and oh god i can't remember oh the other one

01:04:47.740 the other main one not 23andme what was it ancestry and anyway got it done on two different places

01:04:54.540 and they're a little bit different but they did both agree that i had loads of cornish particularly

01:04:59.340 cornish blood like i'm more cornish than anything else basically which is odd because my family from

01:05:06.060 the southeast anyway anyway all right i'm basically a cornish man anyway yeah in cornwall and it's just

01:05:15.180 deadly serious well not deadly but it's serious they take it really seriously they're like the cornish 0.99

01:05:20.140 separatists yeah no joke yeah yeah they really do they really do think of it but i mean it's just

01:05:29.100 in the scheme of things it's not massively populous there's not a massive amount of industry in cornwall

01:05:37.260 right so uh they got good ice cream it's a lovely holiday spot there's loads of

01:05:44.540 very very lovely parts of the coast in cornwall lovely some of the best weather you get down there

01:05:49.900 but you know i will champion cornwall's calls but i mean england the integrity of england is more

01:06:02.700 important to me than actual cornish separatism i mean men of cornwall even tried to rebel genuinely

01:06:12.060 rebel in like the the uh 16th century i think was that the last one might have been ones after that even

01:06:17.500 but certainly in the age of henry the seventh or henry the eighth henry the eighth there's a sort of

01:06:22.380 a cornish rebellion but okay i'm for england first and foremost i hope i don't get taken out by

01:06:32.220 cornish separatists for saying that all right that's enough about cornwall for one day quite enough of that

01:06:40.460 pixel rick i'm pixel rick pixel rick says west ham fa fa cup winners spurs championship

01:06:54.940 i hope i hope west ham win the fa cup yeah spurs championship what spurs getting relegated that would

01:07:01.500 imagine if spurs got relegated oh that'd be so good i hate spurs

01:07:05.900 any football fan in england that isn't a tottenham hot spur supporter won't like spurs probably almost

01:07:15.900 certainly spurs gross north london muppets all right castellan castellan rds says brother beau i can't

01:07:30.380 watch live due to work but listen either later in the day or the following or the following

01:07:36.060 loving morning or the following morning am i still a member of uh beau's breakfast club breakfast with

01:07:41.980 both of course you are of course you are one of my band of brothers

01:07:52.140 sure

01:07:55.020 and thank you thank you for watching thank you for the super chat thank you for watching without you

01:07:58.460 guys it really isn't anything i know people say that all sorts of content creators and podcasts

01:08:02.700 say that all the time but it's so true it's just so true once you do it once you're sitting in

01:08:07.740 doing this sort of thing you realize you really do realize oh if there's no audience it's nothing

01:08:14.620 it's nothing so thank you i can't thank you enough and it really is genuine and heartfelt

01:08:20.380 thank you all right lj envy says beau you great man exclamation mark

01:08:33.900 harry

01:08:39.100 great man one of the greatest ever to do it uh long shot here someone from the le talk to rupert and have

01:08:47.020 rupert do a video to elon and ask elon to request farage to do an online debate long shot but imagine

01:08:53.820 the publicity it's a great idea it's a bloody great idea um yeah why not that would be great

01:09:01.660 i suspect that farage wouldn't touch that with a barge pole

01:09:06.780 i would bet nearly everything i own that farage would not be interested in doing such a thing

01:09:11.500 plus we know elon watches us at least from time to time know that for a fact at least from time to

01:09:20.860 time i mean he retweets and comments on i even got retweeted by elon once imagine that yeah me

01:09:29.900 people like carl get comments or retweeted semi-regularly even dan tubb harry harry robinson got

01:09:36.220 retweeted by elon once or twice even loads of people in and around the sphere have been retweeted

01:09:42.860 and commented and liked by elon loads fair fair bit anyway even like someone like steve laws or whatever

01:09:51.500 um having said all of that we haven't got a direct line to elon i believe he follows charlie downs for

01:10:02.460 example ask charlie downs or uh who else there's a couple of others that elon so there's a couple

01:10:11.260 others in and around the this sphere the online distant right whatever you want to call it that

01:10:17.340 genuinely could get word to elon you know like that but none of us at lotus eaters i'm pretty sure elon

01:10:25.420 doesn't follow carl although but he is aware of us so anyway it's a great idea it would be brilliant

01:10:31.580 wouldn't it that would be brilliant to have elon mediate a disc uh a debate between rupert and

01:10:40.700 nigel on lotus eaters that would be amazing nigel wouldn't do it in a million years nigel hates us 1.00

01:10:47.500 hates carl hates me hates dan hates all of us we're evil racists and bigots to him basically aren't we 0.86

01:10:55.980 we talk about re-migration which is not acceptable remember for us just a week or two ago said while 0.68

01:11:02.060 he got why he got rid of had to get rid of rupert was because rupert started talking about mass re-migration

01:11:08.140 so nigel wouldn't do that in a million years because he's got no spine because he's a political weakling 0.99

01:11:16.220 this is a containment project all right chris 281 says as a scot living in cyprus i can confirm

01:11:27.660 nothing is happening other than media hysteria oh there you go straight from the horse's mouth there

01:11:33.580 yeah i feel like i mean dubai and cyprus are two very very different things

01:11:38.620 it's not true in dubai but yeah in cyprus i can believe that what there was a couple of a couple

01:11:45.260 of drones shot from probably lebanon by hezbollah that landed in that raf base and did minimal very

01:11:53.020 very minimal damage and two or three others which overshot or undershot and did no damage

01:12:00.140 and it's not the blitz is it it's not really

01:12:02.380 yeah i can believe exactly i i i'm sure you're right chris chris yeah i'm sure i'm sure you're

01:12:11.180 right sounds right i mean if i had a holiday booked to cyprus and i was going to go in the next week or

01:12:21.500 two i'd probably still go i would still go unless loads of things changed in that two weeks and cyprus

01:12:27.260 suddenly was being hit by waves of thousands of drones if it was just what it is now yeah i'd

01:12:34.220 still go on holiday cyprus yeah you're almost certainly going to be absolutely fine aren't you

01:12:39.980 okay a fortian barber i wonder 14 do you buy the fortian times anyway fortian barber says

01:12:49.420 i don't want war but didn't the us join world war ii late ha yeah and world war one

01:12:55.420 yeah good point the americans complaining about other people joining wars late

01:13:03.340 good point for tea and barber all right the fenlander 1665 says huntly some positive news

01:13:10.380 exclamation mark yeah yeah it's for the best isn't it him getting his head battered in is is justice

01:13:18.620 isn't it real justice opening doors one says iran iran dot dot dot anyway do whirling dervishes get dizzy

01:13:31.980 like must do mustn't they must do okay last three or four here ljmv says

01:13:42.540 bo you're a corny guy can be quite corny with some of my puns but i assume you meaning cornish

01:13:53.100 yeah it was a good like i can't remember the numbers but it was like 50 or 60 or even more percent

01:13:59.180 of my breakdown of my englishness was cornish so the biggest part was cornish yeah

01:14:04.620 global church history said cornish rebelled due to the reformation's english use

01:14:13.180 yeah there was certainly one in the early 16th century i think in the i think the last one was

01:14:16.860 in the age of henry the eighth

01:14:20.380 well there's one in the age of henry the seventh as well

01:14:24.460 yeah they've got a strong they've got their own strong identity very strong identity

01:14:28.700 like the welsh or the scots or certain parts of the north people from yorkshire

01:14:33.180 very much got their own think of themselves got their own identity mercyans it goes on and on and

01:14:38.060 doesn't it okay okay last couple marcos 588 says did you catch the farcical aussie gp bow yeah

01:14:49.020 um i can't imagine our right wing or rw automotive bros were impressed

01:14:54.620 you furious and burden as marcus furious uh would have been horrified at it yeah i did watch it i

01:15:02.700 called it actually didn't i someone a super chat on friday said i think it's friday thursday friday

01:15:06.220 said who do you think is going to be the next formula one champion and i said jules russell or charles

01:15:12.220 leclerc i mean i'm not really going down on a limb i think jules russell was the bookies favorites

01:15:17.900 anyway he won it didn't he he won it i thought it was an all right race there was some overtaking

01:15:22.220 wasn't there seen worse but yeah gutted oscar piastri crashed out on the formation lap

01:15:32.060 okay and the last two one just came in so last two as the zero one six one says will cole return

01:15:38.540 for an epox again cheers bow um maybe maybe not he hasn't exactly ruled it out but probably not but

01:15:44.860 maybe maybe if i really asked him to i'm sure he'd do it if i really sort of really put pressure on him

01:15:50.940 really asked him pleaded with him i'm sure we'd do it but basically no well there may be something

01:15:55.820 he decides he really wants to talk about but he's got so much on his plate he's sort of juggling so

01:16:01.900 much stuff to be honest but see just keeps growing as well as the family he's got a big family as well so

01:16:11.180 and his own channels he still does his own channels doesn't he so

01:16:13.500 okay so there you go maybe probably not don't hold your breath but maybe all right uh and the last

01:16:20.780 one 14 barber i used to buy the 14 times and i'm in cornwall good stuff okay good stuff cornwall keeping

01:16:29.340 it real cornwall all right that's the show it is now just ticked past nine 16 minutes past nine in the
