00:02:43.040 happened on his watch in like 18 months or something people said you should quit but he

00:02:47.900 said he won't that's sort of it that's sort of it there's no point really going into tons more

00:02:51.980 detail than that yeah apparently it's affecting loads of people like 700 000 people or something

00:02:58.060 can that be right we have that many internal flights i think it's mainly internal flights

00:03:03.440 as well but not just internal flights anyway problems with our air traffic control

00:03:08.320 Is it

00:03:12.100 Is it

00:03:14.220 The Ruskies

00:03:15.680 Doing some sort of 0.96

00:03:19.220 Cyber attack on us 0.99

00:03:21.240 Or is it just that our systems are a bit crap 0.89

00:03:23.500 Who knows at this point 0.97

00:03:28.160 Alright

00:03:28.400 Andy Bumham

00:03:31.060 King of the North 0.57

00:03:32.880 No stern and burn them with his guy liner

00:03:34.560 He got up early in the morning to put his mascara on

00:03:38.320 he's going jogging he actually looks a little bit more svelte than he did

00:03:42.960 okay pretending that he does loads of cardio prime minister andy burnham there

00:03:48.360 universities promise work experience for all students uh

00:03:53.280 like year 11 go to uni to do the degree in that i don't actually it depends doesn't it

00:04:02.760 some degrees it probably we would be really good if it was like um or really necessary even

00:04:07.240 he's doing like a business management degree then maybe okay you're doing physics or ancient

00:04:15.140 history probably not so much okay here we go the main story of the day faraj faces met inquiry over

00:04:20.460 reform donations sort of again key allies linked to illegal foreign funding all right so the story

00:04:28.340 is i mean okay where to begin if you pay attention to the news or even watch the bow show regularly

00:04:34.300 you'll know there's a fair bit of a backstory to this so farage and reform and tice were already

00:04:41.180 under investigation by like the standards committee the parliamentary standards committee

00:04:44.860 and the police for well originally the chris harborn five million pounds to fraud and then

00:04:51.100 another million pounds to tice like a separate thing i mean it'll all be bound up in the same

00:04:57.180 sort of thing but a separate amount of money whether it went through one of twice's other

00:05:04.700 companies before it made its way to actual reform coffers and got spent okay now there's this thing

00:05:12.540 where they had to get rid of james or remember at the weekend and some kid called jake who was

00:05:17.980 One of Nigel's closest

00:05:19.360 Aids 1.00

00:05:20.660 Everyone's got AIDS 1.00

00:05:23.680 AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, AIDS

00:05:27.160 As in

00:05:28.640 Not as in

00:05:30.400 Like HIV AIDS

00:05:31.680 Obviously

00:05:32.080 One of Nigel's closest AIDS

00:05:34.600 And James Orr

00:05:36.500 He's like a professor type dude

00:05:37.880 Isn't he?

00:05:38.240 James Orr

00:05:38.560 He's like head of their policy

00:05:39.600 And stuff

00:05:40.100 Quite a serious individual

00:05:42.200 Relatively

00:05:43.760 Anyway

00:05:44.140 They threw them under the bus

00:05:45.440 Or it appears

00:05:46.420 They threw them under the bus

00:05:47.540 Over a completely different set of spending irregularities

00:05:54.400 Potentially irregularities

00:05:57.900 And so now the police are investigating that as well

00:06:01.840 And they said they'll fold it all into the same investigation

00:06:05.200 Some sort of

00:06:07.560 Basically a more broadening of the police investigation

00:06:11.560 Into reform donations

00:06:13.640 Potential corruption

00:06:16.200 Now I'll say

00:06:18.340 As I've said all along

00:06:19.480 And I'll say it again

00:06:20.340 Innocent until proven guilty

00:06:22.840 In my opinion

00:06:23.680 If they are shown to have broken the rules

00:06:27.160 And or the law

00:06:28.040 Then I'll jump on that bandwagon

00:06:30.160 And try and make political hay out of it 0.97

00:06:31.960 And dunk on them and all that

00:06:32.900 But until then

00:06:33.580 No, no, I'm not going

00:06:34.320 I'm not going

00:06:35.120 No, because they may well have done nothing wrong

00:06:37.880 I don't know

00:06:38.560 I'm not just going to

00:06:41.160 I always find it cheap

00:06:42.680 And lame on Twitter for example

00:06:45.040 When there's one tiny allegation about restore

00:06:48.480 Or reform

00:06:49.260 There's a little bit of

00:06:51.060 There's a tiny bit of allegation

00:06:52.280 Tiny bit of smoke

00:06:53.280 And people jump all over it

00:06:55.720 And say it's over

00:06:56.420 Reform is over

00:06:57.720 Restore is over

00:06:58.920 Is it?

00:07:02.900 It's just an allegation at this stage 1.00

00:07:05.160 It's the tiniest, tiniest chink in the armour 1.00

00:07:08.560 Barely even a chink in the armour 1.00

00:07:09.980 But reform's over now 1.00

00:07:11.740 Restore's over now

00:07:12.680 The Green Party's over now 0.91

00:07:14.060 well no make yourself look a little bit silly really wait and see what it really is

00:07:21.380 as I say if they are shown to have done something wrong well then at that point

00:07:26.200 you know at that point go to feel free to go to town in my opinion this is all just my opinion

00:07:33.100 of course but there's nothing dumber than making a mountain out of a molehill and at the end of it

00:07:41.260 it is proven to be a molehill not even that an imaginary molehill when you try to make a mountain

00:07:45.680 out of it it's not a good look i don't think so all right with all that being said

00:07:50.000 let's see because it may well be that reform and tyce and farage are completely corrupt and broken

00:08:00.900 all sorts of laws all over the place it could well be if i had to put a tenner on it right now

00:08:07.220 probably put it on this that this is all this is all a political witch hunt

00:08:11.200 i suspect it is basically a political witch hunt maybe at the end of the day they will

00:08:17.800 shown to have broken a few minor rules but not any laws again i don't know i'm just gonna leave

00:08:23.580 it at that but it's the main story all over fleet street today and a lot of the websites

00:08:29.020 i thought i'd spend a few minutes you know sort of talking about it but that's it that's where

00:08:33.980 we are there's just there's just more threads the police have got more threads that they're

00:08:38.600 investigating about reform donations that's it that's basically it okay let's have a look the

00:08:46.620 guardian oh dear oh dear the guardian oh that's like it's like the bog of eternal stench it's like

00:08:54.960 oh smells terrible in the back of my throat with some disgusting oh oh my god

00:09:03.540 Okay

00:09:11.920 The Guardian

00:09:13.080 Enough to turn your stomach

00:09:14.280 Globalist slot

00:09:15.300 Socialist

00:09:16.080 Socialist

00:09:17.140 Subversion

00:09:17.900 Of course they go with it

00:09:20.220 Police launch inquiry

00:09:21.240 Into alleged

00:09:22.060 Overseas donations

00:09:23.020 To Reform UK

00:09:23.860 Scandal around

00:09:25.560 Farage's

00:09:26.320 Party deepens

00:09:27.360 Following

00:09:28.020 Undercover sting

00:09:28.920 On TV

00:09:29.520 Undercover sting

00:09:30.880 By

00:09:31.160 Activists though

00:09:33.540 Just completely neutral journalism

00:09:36.140 Is it, was it?

00:09:38.020 They are, they have been shown to be

00:09:39.900 Sort of, they like climate activist

00:09:42.240 Types, certainly just

00:09:43.860 The stripe of politics that would hate

00:09:45.980 Reformer Nigel

00:09:47.260 They are that, they were that, that's for sure

00:09:49.540 Isn't it?

00:09:52.140 I mean that's for sure

00:09:53.100 Connor Tomlinson

00:09:56.300 Ex-employee of the Lotus Eaters

00:09:59.060 And still good friend and associate of the Lotus Eaters

00:10:01.300 Did a good video on it the other day

00:10:04.260 talking about it in a bit of detail who they really are like the the people behind the tv sting

00:10:12.260 all right what else we got oh no clark charged with sexual offenses anyone remember no clark

00:10:17.780 i take it uh little harry you i guess you don't know no no clark never heard the name absolutely

00:10:23.940 no okay fair enough so anyone who's not old enough or is just foreign probably would never

00:10:28.900 heard of no clark is some black dude who years ago like more than 10 years ago maybe much more

00:10:35.780 was sort of flavor of the month they commissioned him to make all sorts of tv and movies there was

00:10:41.940 one called kid adulthood and then there's a sequel adulthood or maybe it's the other way around

00:10:48.820 and anyway we're talking about britain and uh like what it's like to be black in britain and

00:10:54.340 Then after some success

00:10:57.140 On the small screen

00:10:58.520 And the big screen

00:10:59.720 The BBC likes to

00:11:02.120 And other news outlets

00:11:03.720 Like to will him out

00:11:05.240 As like a token black man voice 1.00

00:11:07.760 Right, you know the sort of thing 0.99

00:11:10.260 We want someone that's brown

00:11:12.940 To come on a panel

00:11:14.720 Come on TV

00:11:15.500 And just peddle the victimhood narrative

00:11:18.720 In Britain

00:11:19.380 They'd often use Noel Clarke 1.00

00:11:22.800 So he's a total, total scumbag. 1.00

00:11:28.600 Obnoxious scumbag. 1.00

00:11:30.560 I was in Doctor Who, sorry, I just glanced down at the chat. 0.99

00:11:34.520 He was also in Doctor Who.

00:11:35.220 I don't watch Doctor Who, you see, at all.

00:11:38.380 But I am aware that he had been in Doctor Who.

00:11:40.460 So there's that, all right.

00:11:43.320 Now apparently these offences are reasonably old.

00:11:47.180 They go back to, I can't read that from memory.

00:11:51.080 They were saying it was between 2007 and 2016 0.86

00:11:53.440 Like five different women 0.98

00:11:55.020 I don't think they're full-blown rapes

00:11:58.140 But they're like exposing himself

00:12:00.180 Sexual assault of a slightly less nature

00:12:04.640 I don't know all the details 0.99

00:12:05.540 But okay

00:12:07.460 So and the CPS are charging him

00:12:09.960 And he's going to court for them 0.97

00:12:11.380 Five different women 0.98

00:12:13.840 Now again, innocent until proven guilty

00:12:18.520 However, you are still allowed to speculate, aren't you?

00:12:20.320 like i did with nigel saying this isn't proven guilty but i'll speculate

00:12:23.300 my speculation on that is i'll put a tenner on i think this is probably what happened

00:12:27.000 all right let's do the same with no clock i'll speculate you probably did bad things yeah

00:12:31.280 five women when there's multiple multiple women it's much more damning on the balance 1.00

00:12:37.340 on balance of probabilities there's just one woman playing alleges one thing against you 0.97

00:12:42.800 right that's bad enough isn't it i'm not saying that's not bad of course it is but when it's 0.91

00:12:45.940 multiple multiple women you know when something comes out it's like 17 women accuse some dude

00:12:51.500 of something like this like are they all lying almost certainly not 35 women have come out

00:12:59.020 about something that's gone on over 20 30 years it's like there's almost certainly something there

00:13:04.700 so anyway like five different women no clock i seem to remember as well vaguely that during the

00:13:11.040 height of, or near the height of the Me Too movement, there was rumblings, i.e. there

00:13:16.200 was rumblings about Noel Clarke. You know, you get rumblings the way people used to

00:13:23.220 say about Jimmy Savile before it was all shown. People used to say about Muhammad Al-Fayed

00:13:29.080 before it was all shown. People say about Russell Brand, don't they, etc, etc. Certain

00:13:34.680 names just get people like, you know. So I think Noel Clarke has already been a sort

00:13:41.020 of the finger vaguely pointed towards Noel Clark that he might be might be allegedly

00:13:47.320 a sex criminal okay what else have we got okay UK rabbis back action on settler violence

00:13:55.040 this is a story I thought was mildly interesting or is interesting if you watched yesterday and

00:14:01.280 you've been paying attention to the news over the last 48 36 hours or whatever Ed Miliband

00:14:06.260 and the British government came out and poured scorn on Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli

00:14:09.420 government for the settlement violence in the west bank calling it illegal and terroristic

00:14:15.900 and it's ethnic cleansing and that there was genocide in gaza etc etc and the obvious sort

00:14:22.220 of backlash from the israeli government all sorts of levels throwing out our uh some sort of not

00:14:29.580 the full consulate in tel aviv but some sort of some sort of diplomatic mission we've got in

00:14:34.140 jerusalem just ending that throwing them out putting sanctions against the likes of jeremy corbyn

00:14:39.420 he had nothing to do with it and burnham doesn't ask jeremy corbyn about policy does he anyway

00:14:44.340 and of course like the board of deputies came out and condemned it the head rabbi of britain

00:14:50.100 came out and condemned it also another leading jewish organization how many do they need

00:14:57.280 came out and condemned it but aha but another group of jewish rabbis came out and said no

00:15:05.200 this is long overdue we agree and they pointed out which is a fair point that there's not like 0.97

00:15:12.080 there is a diversity of thought and opinion amongst Jewish people not just Israelis but

00:15:18.140 like the Jewish diaspora however it's not like a a monolithic single mind they've got all sorts

00:15:25.320 of different views and some rabbis some Jewish people agree with Miliband and the French government

00:15:34.440 And the Canadian government

00:15:36.000 And a dozen other European governments 0.99

00:15:39.300 They're sort of ashamed of what the settlers do 0.62

00:15:42.780 What the sort of extreme right in Israel

00:15:45.700 Sort of the religious right 1.00

00:15:47.060 Settler type people in the West Bank

00:15:49.920 Some Jews are ashamed by that 1.00

00:15:54.760 Or just agree with Miliband 0.85

00:15:56.460 So there you go

00:15:59.880 There is a diversity of thought and opinion amongst Jewish people

00:16:02.600 Absolutely, right?

00:16:03.220 There's some Jewish people, I think it's interesting to note

00:16:05.480 One of the sort of quite orthodox sects

00:16:10.340 Is that the right word? 0.75

00:16:12.580 They don't even agree that Israel 0.96

00:16:14.320 They're ultra-Jewish

00:16:15.620 But they don't agree that this state of Israel is legit

00:16:17.940 For example, just one example

00:16:19.960 Of the spectrum of opinion amongst Jewish people 1.00

00:16:23.960 They're like, no, when they

00:16:25.340 It's very specific in the Torah

00:16:28.060 Or the Old Testament

00:16:29.200 What situation needs to occur

00:16:31.680 before israel can be re-established properly and those conditions weren't met in the late 1940s

00:16:38.640 so this isn't the proper israel yet still just an example just a little example of how there is

00:16:45.840 sort of a swathe of different opinions not just whatever neti says that's what all jews think

00:16:52.320 no no no right not close obviously i mean we say out loud like that kind of obviously 0.64

00:16:56.000 all right that tea's gone a bit cold yuck move up to my move on to my backup water

00:17:07.820 this is water in this one not another cup of tea all right what else we got

00:17:12.520 no clark we've done that the eye paper oh back to farage police set to interview farage over

00:17:19.660 reform uk donations nigel farage is likely to be interviewed by the police the met police

00:17:26.000 As part of the widening MET investigation into Reform UK's funding, the iPaper understands.

00:17:32.760 Scotland Yard confirms inquiry into claims that reform breached rules with potential illegal foreign donations.

00:17:44.120 Detectives will examine if party broke law after Farage and other party figures were filmed in undercover sting.

00:17:51.760 There's a little still picture of Nigel looking.

00:17:56.000 in a bit of a shocked face or something so you know reform uk denies quote any wrongdoing quote

00:18:04.300 and will quote fully cooperate with the investigation a spokesman says

00:18:09.420 nigel did come out and didn't even he said but not that long ago i think during the conference

00:18:14.700 even or earlier this week and just said flatly explicitly said we have i nigel and we reform

00:18:21.700 have done nothing wrong, have accepted no money in any wrong way or capacity.

00:18:31.420 May well be true, mightn't it? May well be true.

00:18:34.620 I'm not going to start dunking on them at this stage.

00:18:38.400 It wouldn't be prudent.

00:18:40.360 OK, the Daily Mirror, complete leftist slot, Labour Party,

00:18:44.980 a Labour Party organ, effectively.

00:18:47.720 They go with Farage, don't they? They can't stop themselves.

00:18:49.580 Perhaps the worst Farage derangement syndrome on Fleet Street is the mirror

00:18:53.440 Another day, another probe

00:18:55.900 Farage faces cop quiz on donors

00:19:00.020 Nigel's cop quiz

00:19:04.860 Police investigate after reformed chief's TV chat over illegal foreign funds

00:19:11.780 Okay, you get it, there's not much more to it

00:19:13.900 Of course the mirror, love it

00:19:16.320 They absolutely love it

00:19:18.120 Okay

00:19:19.400 The Independent

00:19:21.000 I know it's just a banner

00:19:24.080 It's not the actual headline

00:19:24.940 But it says

00:19:25.380 Donald McIntyre says that

00:19:27.780 Trump's silence has shaken Netanyahu

00:19:30.140 That is interesting

00:19:31.480 I read a longer article on that this morning

00:19:33.800 I think on the BBC

00:19:35.560 Yeah and it was noted

00:19:39.700 It was noted that

00:19:42.860 The United States response to

00:19:45.560 Edmina Band and the UK government

00:19:47.280 and the French and Canadian government all coming out on the same day

00:19:49.940 and condemning Israel in pretty strong words, to be honest.

00:19:54.240 They noted that the US, the White House and the State Department

00:19:58.320 very, very mooted, very, very mooted on it.

00:20:03.200 I mean, Rubio was asked and he said, he literally said, no comment.

00:20:08.900 Basically, it was a slightly longer statement that added up to no comment.

00:20:13.780 he said something on the lines of and i am paraphrasing yeah i've seen it i'm aware of

00:20:19.640 what of all of all that what has happened and at this time i'm not going to make any comment it's

00:20:24.020 basically that that's not what bibby's going to like to hear is it he would have thought i would

00:20:30.680 have thought he would have hoped somebody like old marco rubio who would come out all guns blazing

00:20:37.760 Like Mike Huckabee did

00:20:39.480 Like we absolutely condemn this anti-Semitism

00:20:42.680 From the British government

00:20:43.960 And if they don't change their tune

00:20:45.820 We, the US government, are going to slap sanctions on them back

00:20:48.520 And this will not stand

00:20:49.980 No, no, none of it

00:20:51.480 That's what Huckabee did

00:20:53.200 That's what Huckabee started doing

00:20:54.420 Of course he did

00:20:56.320 Rubio was like

00:20:59.340 And then

00:21:03.760 And Trump himself was

00:21:05.480 Not much stronger than that

00:21:07.460 I mean a little bit more

00:21:08.300 He said a couple of other words on it

00:21:11.200 He was like

00:21:11.640 He said

00:21:12.620 Yeah again when asked

00:21:13.540 He was like

00:21:13.780 Yeah I've seen it

00:21:14.320 I'm aware of what's going on

00:21:15.260 And he said something like

00:21:16.420 I need to understand

00:21:17.900 Give me some time to understand what's going on

00:21:19.780 He said

00:21:20.220 I'm not sure why they seem to have suddenly

00:21:21.860 Changed policy like this

00:21:23.800 But we were told that

00:21:25.460 No Stern and Burnham

00:21:26.960 And the Donald

00:21:27.740 Had a phone call on Monday

00:21:29.140 I.e. just before

00:21:30.540 Miliband did this

00:21:32.540 Openly in the Commons

00:21:34.800 So Trump was aware

00:21:36.520 at least one day beforehand i mean was on the podcast yesterday and uh big harry big harry

00:21:44.000 robinson did a segment all about it he was making the argument or suggesting that it may well be

00:21:49.680 that ed milliband and the british government and the canadian french government actually had the

00:21:54.300 green light from the us i don't know of course of course i don't know got no inside track

00:22:01.640 Into what goes on at that sort of level

00:22:04.040 Obviously

00:22:04.580 But it's not a bad inference

00:22:07.240 You could infer that

00:22:09.820 That Burnham said to the United States

00:22:13.720 If we do this

00:22:14.540 We want to do this

00:22:15.400 We want to say this

00:22:16.440 If we were to

00:22:17.920 How berserk would you guys go

00:22:20.340 Or can you give us your endorsement

00:22:24.160 Like a green light

00:22:24.880 At least tacitly

00:22:25.700 To go ahead and do this

00:22:27.280 Start calling West Bank settlements

00:22:29.240 Ethnic cleansing 0.96

00:22:30.100 And if this is what played out 0.92

00:22:33.500 And it is a big if

00:22:34.160 But if it is

00:22:34.800 The Donald and Rubio went

00:22:37.080 Yeah, go for your life

00:22:38.040 Yeah, go for it

00:22:38.680 Yeah, do it

00:22:39.220 Well, if all that happens

00:22:43.640 Had happened

00:22:44.540 Then it shaken Netanyahu

00:22:48.160 According to Donald McIntyre

00:22:49.640 It may well be

00:22:51.600 Sort of exactly

00:22:52.620 Something along those lines

00:22:53.620 What played out

00:22:54.420 Trump's silence has shaken Netanyahu

00:22:57.220 could well be an accurate description of reality that all right uh all right the independent

00:23:06.220 we've got oh they're going with the uh still the flight chaos flight chaos in britain hundreds more

00:23:12.760 flights cancelled uh minister backs air traffic boss because people called on the air traffic boss

00:23:19.700 air traffic boss to quit um but the government at least for now have said no there's no need to

00:23:29.300 that would cause more chaos or anything right now wouldn't it tens of thousands of passengers

00:23:33.500 endure a second day of delays and are unlikely to see compensation oh yeah that's the one other

00:23:38.580 data point of any note on this is that all the airlines uh or not all of them most of them are

00:23:43.540 saying uh yeah all this disruption to your lives um for whatever reason can't remember the technical

00:23:50.860 reasons it doesn't fall under the definition of something where we have to give you your money

00:23:57.280 back classic isn't it classic who could have guessed it all right met begins criminal inquiry

00:24:04.200 into foreign foreign reform donations we've basically done it haven't we police launched

00:24:09.680 investigations into claims in undercover channel 4 sting that farage aids aids aids aids breached

00:24:17.840 rules rules on funding as party insists it has done nothing wrong okay i won't keep going on

00:24:22.240 about it now all right but the metro there you go the metro

00:24:24.180 Gross

00:24:32.900 The metro

00:27:24.320 to put as much tax as they want on well we've already read it on on pubs and things

00:27:47.080 tourism industry maybe they make it so crazily expensive to go abroad so people are like uh okay

00:27:55.060 it's going to cost the same to go to italy as it used to cost before the pandemic to go to

00:28:00.040 australia uh okay well because of the cost of living and inflation and all sorts of things

00:28:07.640 I guess they'll just start going on holiday in Britain then

00:28:43.480 Andy Bumham

00:28:45.560 no Stern and Burnham

00:28:47.220 actually said

00:28:49.980 just

00:28:50.940 flat out said

00:28:53.140 that social security

00:28:55.880 is more important

00:28:56.760 than national security

00:28:57.900 there it is

00:29:00.760 somewhere in the

00:29:03.020 chattering classes

00:29:03.680 someone accused him

00:29:04.680 of

00:29:04.960 of saying the

00:29:07.040 quiet part out loud that old cliche yeah yeah just explicitly said when asked about funding

00:29:14.260 how are you going to keep funding the welfare bill uh is it going to be at the expense of

00:29:20.780 like defense spending he's basically yeah national security is not more important than social

00:29:27.960 security there you go there it is sort of in a nutshell in a very like you know there's an art

00:29:34.380 to brevity isn't there could it be any more sort of succinct wrapped up with a little bow social

00:29:40.620 security is more important than national security he'd rather much much rather pay for freeloaders

00:29:50.520 and invaders than for our army there you go keep voting labor if you want to if that's what you want

00:30:00.060 You don't want us to be safe or our borders to be secure

00:30:04.260 But you do want to pay for your own invasion 0.99

00:30:06.640 Your own demographic decline 1.00

00:30:12.560 You've got to make sure that there's enough 0.98

00:30:17.340 In the public purse 0.67

00:30:19.760 To pay for our own invasion and replacement 0.92

00:30:23.600 Right 0.94

00:30:25.140 Okay 0.99

00:30:26.200 We need a few more cruisers or destroyers 0.98

00:30:28.840 So that we could actually put a carrier group to see one of our two carriers. 0.99

00:30:34.700 No.

00:30:35.300 We've got to make sure our invaders have got access to free dentistry. 0.92

00:30:38.980 We've got to make sure our invaders and their families they bring over can all go on the NHS. 0.99

00:30:45.720 So no more Royal Navy for you. 1.00

00:30:48.300 Okay, got it.

00:30:49.180 Okay, I suppose so.

00:30:50.920 That is what it is, isn't it?

00:30:52.080 That's what it boils down to.

00:30:53.020 It's not like a crazy exaggeration, me saying that stuff, is it?

00:30:56.400 That is what it is.

00:30:58.840 Okay

00:31:03.720 Madness

00:31:05.000 This Labour government

00:31:05.940 Are truly

00:31:06.840 Truly 0.99

00:31:07.280 Traitorous 0.73

00:31:09.380 Treasonous

00:31:10.300 Okay

00:31:13.000 Labour sanctioned Israel 0.97

00:31:15.980 Quote to win election

00:31:17.040 This is Bibi himself

00:31:18.200 This is old Bibi

00:31:19.980 Saying that

00:31:21.260 Labour have only said this

00:31:22.980 About the West Bank

00:31:23.980 In order to try and win

00:31:26.920 Votes for

00:31:28.480 that by-election

00:31:30.280 where

00:31:31.080 the Starmobots 1.00

00:31:32.780 the queer Stalin 1.00

00:31:33.660 have stood down 1.00

00:31:34.320 hasn't he

00:31:34.680 triggering a by-election

00:31:36.320 in

00:31:36.760 where is it

00:31:37.600 Holborn and St Pancras

00:31:39.000 relatively large

00:31:41.100 Muslim population there

00:31:42.160 there's not all that many

00:31:43.780 residential areas

00:31:44.800 in there anyway

00:31:45.900 BB is claiming

00:31:49.280 that it was

00:31:51.040 it's all a ploy

00:31:51.980 to try and help

00:31:54.020 the Labour candidate

00:31:54.920 win that

00:31:55.840 Like a pro-Muslim sentiment 0.99

00:31:59.660 Is it, Nettie? 0.96

00:32:04.300 Might be a small element of that to it 0.99

00:32:07.060 Wouldn't rule that out, wouldn't discount that

00:32:09.800 But

00:32:10.100 Isn't it because

00:32:13.860 Some of the West Bank settlements

00:32:16.380 Really are just illegal

00:32:18.540 And terroristic in nature 0.95

00:32:20.980 And a form of ethnic cleansing 0.91

00:32:23.800 I'm just going to pretend

00:32:25.520 none of that

00:32:26.160 there's no truth to that

00:32:27.300 whatsoever on any level

00:32:28.280 it's about

00:32:29.320 Holborn and St Pancras

00:32:30.780 I don't know how many people

00:32:35.060 he's going to convince

00:32:35.720 with that argument

00:32:36.380 pardon me

00:32:39.480 a little bit of hay fever

00:32:40.920 it feels like this morning

00:32:41.660 okay here's a quite

00:32:43.340 mildly interesting story

00:32:44.620 it says

00:32:44.860 XSAS

00:32:46.580 the Special Air Service

00:32:48.500 22SAS

00:32:49.300 the regiment

00:32:49.860 XSAS

00:32:51.080 train Russians

00:32:52.440 to fight in Ukraine

00:32:53.620 i had to read that a couple of times like i mean i mean train ukrainians to fight

00:33:00.700 in russia or something no no no it's to train russians they'll be ex-sas though not serving

00:33:07.020 sas there you go special forces

00:33:11.180 particularly ex-special forces you know they're very very often going to private military

00:33:19.420 contracting don't they um and then who knows what and they'll get involved with all around the world

00:33:27.200 off the books so yeah i can believe it all right ai bots this is a headline i'm reading if you're

00:33:36.980 only listening to the audio and you're not actually seeing what's on the screen you just

00:33:39.640 listen to the audio so i'm reading a headline it says ai bots could kill us all in four years

00:33:45.300 thinking bo what what's who's saying that where's that come from what's the source on that 1.00

00:33:52.360 that must be some tinfoil hat wearing psycho some idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about no 0.98

00:33:58.500 it's one of the most senior researchers at uh open ai that's quit over it you're saying there's some 0.99

00:34:04.800 sort of arms race so to speak between uh open ai and anthropic about who can get to super

00:34:13.540 intelligence the first first there's this whole thing called super intelligence where

00:34:20.100 it i mean i hesitate to say but it is a it feel it sounds a little when they describe it

00:34:24.260 it does sound a little bit like um pardon me terminator 2 um skynet where some sort of ai

00:34:35.380 model not exactly become self-aware but it no longer needs any more code from any human

00:34:42.580 it's nowhere near needing that it writes its own code and upgrades itself all automatically all

00:34:51.780 in the blink of an eye this is what they talk about right i'm not making it up because most

00:34:56.100 people who watch this who know me and my views know that i'm i'm deeply suspicious and concerned

00:35:01.460 about ai i've been banging that drum for a couple of years well once they get to a true machine

00:35:09.780 learning super intelligence quote unquote super intelligence then it's sort of out of our hands

00:35:14.900 again a little bit like skynet it's out of our hands at that point or largely would be almost

00:35:20.320 certainly would be or could very easily be put it that way i do apologize got a runny nose this

00:35:26.740 morning um i think that's the first time in nine months this has happened so i do apologize for

00:35:31.080 the sniffing um yeah open ai and anthropic are apparently just racing each other to get there

00:35:37.980 first why to what end who surely it's just extremely dangerous and it's like unchecked

00:35:47.340 and there's other reports in the news today that various bodies or organizations that are supposed

00:35:52.680 to sort of keep a check or test on AI potentially dangerous AI developments that

00:35:58.700 anthropic at least is like deliberately not being transparent with them

00:36:07.980 Surely it's concerning

00:36:12.720 Anyone out there that has always said

00:36:14.200 Whenever I've always concerned about AI

00:36:15.660 When they say

00:36:16.200 They just dismiss it out of hand

00:36:17.380 Stop being a boomer

00:36:18.680 You don't know what you're talking about

00:36:19.860 You don't understand

00:36:20.560 It's just a large language model

00:36:22.060 It's basically a glorified search engine

00:36:24.980 That appears like it talks like a human

00:36:27.340 No

00:36:27.860 No

00:36:28.680 Large language models are only one tiny tiny corner

00:36:32.700 Of what AI is

00:36:34.080 why are you worried about ai it's just grok it's just generating an image

00:36:40.280 it's just grok don't worry about it well you don't know what you're talking about no

00:36:44.480 ai has got the capacity to be a million and one things things we don't even know yet that's the

00:36:53.520 danger isn't it things that we can't even guess even experts can't even guess what it might be

00:36:58.920 what it might morph into think for example one example is when rutherford was it rutherford

00:37:07.960 maybe niels bohr maybe einstein himself when they first realized that there truly was a

00:37:12.200 gigantic amount of energy in every atom right from that moment to the first test of a czar

00:37:20.440 bomber the biggest ever thermonuclear explosion ever tested by the soviets in the 60s right

00:37:25.160 we're at like that Rutherford moment with AI

00:37:28.520 where like the first thing

00:37:29.640 oh it could be this

00:37:30.560 oh it does indeed mean this

00:37:33.400 who would really

00:37:36.420 in the 10 minutes after Rutherford found that out

00:37:39.500 was it Rutherford?

00:37:40.300 I should get it right

00:37:40.660 anyway you get the point I'm making

00:37:41.760 you get the point I'm making

00:37:43.560 in the 10 minutes after that was realised

00:37:46.600 not many people would have thought

00:37:49.140 oh there will be 50 megaton

00:37:51.640 nuclear explosions now that was definitely locked in that's like a direct cause and effect that's a

00:38:00.080 direct consequence of realizing this thing will mean thermonuclear giant thermonuclear bombs

00:38:06.120 or another example um the first ever piston like the first ever massive single piston

00:38:14.160 used to pump water out of a mine in the 18th century.

00:38:19.700 Fast forward, a monstrous V12 Formula One engine.

00:38:24.940 One is the consequence of the other.

00:38:27.080 It just follows.

00:38:28.280 If you just let men, engineers, scientists,

00:38:31.340 just keep going further and further and further,

00:38:33.600 you'll end up with this crazy thing

00:38:35.140 that you could never really imagine in the first place.

00:38:39.740 Extrapolate out that with AI.

00:38:42.820 Am I just being paranoid?

00:38:43.740 Shall I just move on now?

00:38:45.440 Yes

00:38:45.760 To moving on

00:38:47.400 Not to being paranoid

00:38:48.100 Well I am paranoid

00:38:50.280 But is it well founded paranoia?

00:38:54.300 Alright the Financial Times

00:38:55.240 The Financial Times

00:38:56.080 Oh look they go with it as well 1.00

00:38:57.100 Anthropic held back 1.00

00:38:58.740 Frontier AI model

00:39:00.340 From British Checks

00:39:01.600 Tests agency

00:39:03.200 AI tests agency

00:39:04.580 Excluded in pre-release

00:39:06.660 Alarm Trump

00:39:08.280 Tech protectionism

00:39:09.700 Yeah, Anthropic at least

00:39:16.460 Is not being really all that clear 1.00

00:39:19.020 With what they're doing

00:39:20.540 A bit worrying, isn't it?

00:39:25.480 Even when people

00:39:26.320 And over the last two, three days

00:39:28.000 There's been a number of stories

00:39:29.060 Of people deep inside

00:39:31.280 These companies

00:39:32.720 Like OpenAI and Anthropic and whatever

00:39:34.860 People right at the heart of it

00:39:37.340 You people, right at the heart of it

00:39:39.340 People that have been involved with AI development and technology from the beginning.

00:39:46.160 Fair few of them.

00:39:47.160 Half a dozen at least I can remember in the last three days or so.

00:39:50.240 So there will be dozens of them in reality, maybe hundreds.

00:39:52.560 All saying, wait, wait, one minute.

00:39:54.680 Okay, this is dangerous.

00:39:55.520 This is really dangerous.

00:39:56.840 We don't know what we're getting ourselves into here.

00:39:58.580 It could be.

00:39:59.560 It could be catastrophic.

00:40:02.960 Well I don't think there's much value

00:40:08.060 In being like

00:40:09.880 Smugly vindicated

00:40:11.740 After

00:40:12.900 After something terrible happens

00:40:14.800 There's not much value in that

00:40:16.000 Or any real value in it

00:40:18.140 What's the good of that

00:40:19.700 I told you first

00:40:20.780 I was the first to say it

00:40:22.080 Yeah well done

00:40:24.480 Having said that

00:40:28.220 Smug face 1.00

00:40:31.140 I will be saying

00:40:34.220 I told you something

00:40:35.120 No this is terrible

00:40:38.000 This isn't just a small win

00:40:39.440 A small vindication

00:40:40.480 It could be catastrophic for human civilisation

00:40:44.380 It's that big

00:40:45.140 Alright

00:40:47.220 I'm not the only one

00:40:48.780 Police Probe Reform UK

00:40:51.820 We've done that haven't we

00:40:52.760 Oh it's already 22

00:40:53.980 That went fast

00:40:54.680 Really?

00:40:55.980 40 minutes

00:40:56.680 Seems like 10 or 15

00:40:58.300 Alright the star

00:40:59.720 What's the slot they're giving us here?

00:41:02.220 Ricky Hatton, ex-boxer.

00:41:04.460 Ricky Hatton's ex speaks for first time.

00:41:06.620 Don't care.

00:41:07.340 What could she possibly have to say of any value? 1.00

00:41:09.960 Sydney Sweeney there, a bit of side boob. 1.00

00:41:13.920 You can run the starter every once in a while. 1.00

00:41:16.360 Maybe give you a bit of side boob. 1.00

00:41:18.760 Sydney Sweeney's side boob there. 1.00

00:41:19.960 Okay. 1.00

00:41:21.660 Bof. 1.00

00:41:23.420 A boffin. 1.00

00:41:24.420 A clever person. 1.00

00:41:25.740 Bof.

00:41:26.100 It's such terrible writing and journalism 1.00

00:41:30.760 Clever person, a boff, says

00:41:33.940 AI will kill us in ten years and we won't be back

00:41:37.100 Not me

00:41:39.720 There's a picture of Arnold Schwarzenegger

00:41:43.640 I'm literally piss-pronouncing it there

00:41:48.140 Arnie there

00:41:50.520 That's from Terminator 1, isn't it?

00:41:53.860 Terminator 1 and Terminator 2 are good films

00:41:55.660 The rest of the franchise

00:41:57.260 Terminator 1's good

00:41:59.240 Terminator 2's great

00:42:01.100 Hasta la vista

00:42:02.760 Baby

00:42:03.920 Or they've also got a 1.00

00:42:07.640 Saying exterminate 1.00

00:42:09.120 I mean

00:42:12.160 The people that put together this front page

00:42:15.560 Is it that they've got

00:42:19.800 The mind of a child

00:42:21.940 Or they just assume you have

00:42:24.140 this is like some sort of year seven collage isn't it not even that year five

00:42:30.940 let's have a picture like an ai generator picture of a mushroom cloud

00:42:38.700 we'll put arnie from terminator one on it we'll crudely cut out a dalek put a speech bubble on

00:42:46.320 it saying exterminate and the headline will be hasta la vista and above it we'll put boff

00:42:51.180 boff ai to kill us in 10 years and we won't be back like arnie said i'll be back remember that

00:42:57.320 arnie said i'll be back but we won't be back senior editors on that said yep go to print

00:43:03.700 that's brilliant that is brilliant senior editors someone came to them with that as 0.57

00:43:09.460 a proposed front page and they're like yes wow that doesn't make us look stupid that's good 0.96

00:43:17.360 Could we get a bit of Sydney Sweeney side boob as well 0.93

00:43:22.340 Yes we can do that

00:43:23.560 We can make that happen

00:43:24.740 Yeah 0.98

00:43:25.100 Pathetically poor 0.98

00:43:29.240 Really poor 0.99

00:43:30.420 I do apologise for sniffing today

00:43:34.580 In fact Harry

00:43:35.960 Yeah

00:43:38.640 Would you mind

00:43:40.480 Would you mind

00:43:42.620 Getting me a bit of tissue

00:43:44.440 Yeah I'm popping out and getting me a bit of tissue

00:43:46.320 Sorry

00:43:46.760 Sorry, we're live, this happens sometimes

00:43:48.820 I have to remember going forward

00:43:50.500 I've got a tissue on me

00:43:51.800 I have to remember going forward in case something like this happens again

00:43:54.920 I've been fighting off a sneeze for like 15 minutes here

00:43:57.780 Don't sneeze, don't sneeze

00:43:59.160 Okay, I'll move on

00:44:00.580 Oh, I do apologise

00:44:02.480 Okay, The Express, The Daily Express

00:44:05.240 It's a good paper

00:44:07.600 You can read your Express now

00:44:12.940 It's not a good paper, I'm being sarcastic 1.00

00:44:14.540 That's an animal partridge line

00:44:15.620 Is pure globalist slop 0.99

00:44:16.880 Wearing the skin suit 0.99

00:44:18.200 Of patriotism 0.99

00:44:18.960 And nativism

00:44:19.680 Pretending

00:44:21.160 It's ever so slightly

00:44:22.520 Right of centre

00:44:23.180 If that

00:44:23.680 Okay Harry

00:44:27.600 Sorry mate

00:44:29.580 Cheers

00:44:31.180 Cheers

00:44:31.800 Thank you

00:44:32.620 Do apologise

00:44:33.940 Okay

00:44:38.800 We are live

00:44:39.500 I told you before

00:44:40.640 At some point

00:44:41.540 One day

00:44:41.960 I'm going to have

00:44:44.300 Like a sneezing fit

00:44:45.400 You know, sometimes, often, sometimes if I sneeze, it might be like ten sneezes, or more.

00:44:53.920 Or I'll get the hiccups. That'll happen one morning, I'm sure.

00:44:57.200 If I keep doing this for years, one morning I'll get the hiccups.

00:45:00.280 Won't be able to stop hiccuping.

00:45:04.600 Okay, we'll move on now.

00:45:07.200 Oh yeah, the Express have decided that it's the Royals is important.

00:45:10.320 aides confirmed childs had a conversation with his son soon after he arrived back if you paid

00:45:17.060 attention to the news yesterday they were saying harry's been back for two weeks and he hasn't even

00:45:22.660 had a single conversation with his own dad the king now they're reporting no no he has though

00:45:26.660 sorry that was wrong what i'm saying sorry they never apologized today that was wrong he has

00:45:31.000 spoken with her the king has underlined spoken with harry since return thing is i don't give a

00:45:37.920 Monkeys, one way or the other.

00:45:40.140 So let's just move on. 0.74

00:45:41.400 The Mail.

00:45:45.600 The Mail.

00:45:46.580 A pure globalist slop as well.

00:45:49.340 Burnham.

00:45:50.640 National security can't come at the expense of social security. 0.99

00:45:54.720 You psycho. 1.00

00:45:56.260 You psycho son of a bitch. 1.00

00:45:59.820 Is that swearing? 1.00

00:46:01.020 S-O-B?

00:46:01.480 I don't think so.

00:46:04.460 In my opinion.

00:46:05.560 It's close to swearing, isn't it?

00:46:07.920 If you put that in a film, could it no longer be a U?

00:46:10.600 It would have to be a PG. 1.00

00:46:13.580 You psycho, psycho, socialist son of a bitch. 1.00

00:46:19.180 Traitor. 1.00

00:46:20.780 Imagine being the leader of a country. 0.99

00:46:22.840 A country.

00:46:24.220 And saying that.

00:46:25.600 National security can't come at the expense of social security.

00:46:29.200 Mental. 1.00

00:46:30.100 You are mental, Andy. 1.00

00:46:32.080 You're not fit to be the leader. 1.00

00:46:34.740 Not even close.

00:46:37.920 The Mail describes it, characterises it as Prime Minister's staggering admission as Kemi says it confirms Labour is officially the Welfare Party.

00:46:49.800 Yeah, they're not wrong, are they? That is, in my opinion, that is an accurate way to characterise it. 0.96

00:46:59.680 Alright, they're the increasingly infuriating and absurd front pages today in the British print media.

00:47:07.920 okay let's have a look at our poll we usually do our poll at this time of the day okay yeah me and

00:47:21.340 harry decided this morning we're going to go with something completely different we've asked you

00:47:24.500 loads about farage do you think farage has done anything wrong do you think reform have done

00:47:28.040 anything wrong have they broken we've done that poll a number of times haven't we at least two

00:47:31.520 or three times of variance on that poll so i decided we'll do a day where we just ask you

00:47:36.920 something completely different we've done that a bunch of times haven't we just out of the blue

00:47:40.560 ask you something about indiana jones or something all right well today we've done that we asked you

00:47:47.020 guys what is the best star wars film obviously only out of the first trilogy episodes four five

00:47:51.600 and six they're the best ones by far obviously obviously how much of contrarian would you have

00:47:59.020 to be to argue that Episodes 1, 2 and 3 are better. How poor of taste would you have to

00:48:07.840 have to think that? How much of a fail in having an opinion is that? So out of the good

00:48:18.160 Star Wars films, the original three, Episodes 4, 5 and 6, what's the best one? We asked

00:48:24.060 you. Just shy of a thousand votes here, or it's going to tick over a thousand votes

00:48:28.280 any second um yeah a new hope empire strikes back or return of the jedi

00:48:36.540 oh and i've also one of the options was i've never seen star wars

00:48:42.180 well empire strikes back wins

00:48:47.520 fair enough fair enough it wins quite easily as well 50 said empire

00:48:55.840 17 said jedi and 15 say a new home

00:49:03.120 and not and not uh not inconsiderable 18 of you say you've never seen star wars

00:49:11.680 i mean you probably want to sort that out probably want to have a word with yourself

00:49:17.600 and sort that out they're not that great um so empire wins

00:49:26.580 myself personally over the years i've vacillated between empire and jedi

00:49:34.500 if you'd ask me at different points in my life adult life i would have given you the answer

00:49:40.000 either empire or jedi and it's not that i don't think a new hope isn't a great film

00:49:43.780 it's a great standalone film absolutely brilliant i think i i think i'd go with empire

00:49:49.720 for most of my adult life i would answer that question empire strikes back so

00:49:55.720 there you go me and the glorious band they chose a few on the same page effectively

00:49:59.800 really trying not to sneeze here you ever had it where for some social situation you just can't

00:50:11.860 sneeze or you can't cough it's like in the middle of someone's nuptials at a wedding

00:50:15.440 don't sneeze don't cough you're trying to hide for some reason don't sneeze oh my god

00:50:21.960 all right uh okay we usually check in with the price of oil at this point oh it has gone over

00:50:29.700 100 it has gone over 100 well brent crude has brent crude let's do a quick refresh i only

00:50:39.460 refresh it just before the show started so let's do a reload of the page these are real-time prices

00:50:45.220 look 101.3 dollars for a barrel of brent and even west texas is 96.

00:50:55.700 there you go i did see in the news cycle this morning on normal tv sky news

00:51:00.340 they were talking about it it's gone over a hundred dollars a barrel

00:51:03.300 All right

00:51:09.320 Let's move on a bit

00:51:11.240 Was there was one story

00:51:12.220 Oh yeah there's one story

00:51:13.140 On the mail

00:51:15.020 I'm pretty sure it was the mail

00:51:15.640 It was Peter Hitchens

00:51:16.960 And it's all right

00:51:17.840 Don't worry

00:51:18.100 I'm not just going to dunk

00:51:18.860 On Peter Hitchens here

00:51:19.960 Which I've done a number of times

00:51:22.280 Wrote an article about 1.00

00:51:24.360 Zuma Doomers

00:51:25.280 Which was a very very thinly

00:51:26.860 Veiled attack

00:51:28.500 At his Doomerism

00:51:29.360 And defeatism

00:51:30.000 And on Twitter

00:51:31.140 I've had one or two

00:51:31.880 Run-ins with him

00:51:32.720 ratioed him easily actually

00:51:36.260 because lots of his takes

00:51:38.300 are terrible

00:51:40.120 terrible

00:51:40.940 here's one

00:51:43.320 he's penned an article

00:51:46.200 it is behind the paywall

00:51:47.060 on the

00:51:47.620 on the mirror

00:51:48.860 the mail

00:51:49.820 but nonetheless

00:51:51.280 I can only really see the headline

00:51:52.360 but I agree with this

00:51:53.700 I do agree with this

00:51:54.940 because tomorrow is the anniversary 0.70

00:51:56.420 of 9-11 isn't it

00:51:57.740 25 years in fact 1.00

00:52:00.520 the headline reads the nightmare of 9-11 became a pretext for a new age of repression stupid wars 0.98

00:52:09.660 and censorship absolutely where's the line there absolutely correct how i miss the freedom 0.97

00:52:15.920 light joy and humor that existed before we will never get them back i see no sign of it

00:52:23.080 slightly disagree with we'll never get them back we might who knows what the future holds

00:52:26.760 i suspect hitches is right as well in that we'll never get them back but we might

00:52:31.200 who knows what the future holds it's not yet written given centuries or millennia we may

00:52:35.440 well get them back to some degree but the main point there how i miss the freedom the light

00:52:42.400 the joy and the humor that existed before yeah said to a number of people i've written an article

00:52:47.360 two or three years ago now about 9 11. pardon me for one of the uh one of the anniversaries i think

00:52:53.680 two maybe three years ago and i was old enough to be fully aware of what's going on i was uh

00:53:02.640 at uni by that point i was already 19 20 years old um and so i experienced it as a as an adult

00:53:11.120 spoken to a fair few people in the uh in the office you're right samson

00:53:15.840 census just come in uh well it's that's not easy what do you want what's up again we're live we're

00:53:23.860 live no worries it's all right mate don't worry about it um producer lead producer head of

00:53:31.660 production uh okay he's left over there uh about 9 11 folks those people in the office who are too

00:53:40.560 young they either weren't even born or they were like yeah i was four years old five years old i

00:53:44.280 don't really remember it properly i certainly don't remember what the world what society was

00:53:48.000 like in the 1990s and it's hard impossible really impossible really to convey to them what it was

00:53:56.640 like how it was it felt it was a different world it felt like a different world people said this

00:54:02.880 about 1914 lots of accounts lots of historians say the world before world war one and the world

00:54:11.000 During and after World War I

00:54:12.640 Were night and day

00:54:13.780 They were different

00:54:14.300 It was a different society

00:54:15.580 It was a different world

00:54:16.380 It was a different

00:54:16.880 It was a different dynamic

00:54:18.060 A different

00:54:18.560 It's hard to put your finger on

00:54:22.560 What it was like

00:54:23.500 Before 9-11

00:54:24.400 In the West anyway

00:54:26.220 In the West

00:54:26.700 It was

00:54:28.960 It was

00:54:29.460 It was far less dark

00:54:31.220 I mean Hitchens calls it

00:54:32.340 Light, joy, freedom

00:54:33.600 Humour

00:54:34.240 Yeah

00:54:34.700 There was still cynicism

00:54:36.940 There was still

00:54:40.000 the Gen X sort of cynicism, there was still a type of social malaise, wasn't the Columbine

00:54:49.260 shooting before 9-11, wasn't it? I think it was 1999, anyway, it's not like everything

00:54:54.240 was perfect, of course not, of course not, far from it, but the world was put on a different

00:55:01.360 timeline by 9-11, history pivoted there and went a different way, big time.

00:55:10.000 On 9-11.

00:55:12.840 Everything changed.

00:55:14.300 And the incredible thing about it was you knew it in real time

00:55:17.740 after watching a few seconds of the news that day.

00:55:20.540 You knew it right away.

00:55:23.120 You're like, oh, human history has just gone down a different route now.

00:55:29.440 Like a Tron light cycle.

00:55:31.040 Boom, gone.

00:55:31.920 There you go.

00:55:32.460 Different.

00:55:33.600 Everything's different now.

00:55:34.580 Okay, I guess we'll be talking about 9-11 tomorrow

00:55:40.800 It'll probably be all in the news cycle

00:55:42.420 I'll talk more about it, happy to

00:55:44.420 Our World Trade Centre 7

00:55:49.740 Go down

00:55:51.020 Physics behind that, maybe

00:55:54.640 Actually, shall I get one of the lads to fashion me an actual tinfoil hat?

00:56:01.680 Let's talk about Building 7

00:56:03.680 It's not funny, it's really not funny

00:56:06.920 Let's talk about that crash site in Pennsylvania

00:56:11.440 Let's talk about the tiny amount of CCTV footage that was released

00:56:19.660 Of the plane that supposedly flew into the Pentagon 1.00

00:56:22.660 Let's talk about the dancing Israelis 1.00

00:56:26.300 No, alright, let's move on 1.00

00:56:27.500 Let's move on, too spicy, too spicy

00:56:29.280 Alright, in the sun

00:56:33.140 This guy

00:56:34.120 He's one of PC Harper's killers

00:56:37.900 It's revealing now 0.63

00:56:40.080 He's also a sex offender

00:56:41.600 Oh and they are letting them out early

00:56:44.880 It's the sort of person 1.00

00:56:53.680 That in the ancient world 0.81

00:56:55.140 Would be executed

00:56:56.120 They think the rules

00:56:59.460 Just simply don't apply to them

00:57:01.760 They'll do sex crime

00:57:03.420 And at least contribute to the death of a policeman

00:57:05.880 Obviously you didn't really have policemen in the ancient world

00:57:08.000 But still

00:57:08.540 Whoever enforces the laws

00:57:11.140 The norms of society

00:57:12.560 You contributed in large part

00:57:16.100 Towards their killing 0.94

00:57:17.100 And you committed sex crime 0.89

00:57:23.860 At the very least

00:57:25.880 You're ostracised

00:57:26.880 If not put down

00:57:28.740 Like a rabid dog that can't be trusted

00:57:31.400 That is dangerous

00:57:33.180 We let them out

00:57:35.780 We give them minimal punishment

00:57:38.600 A filth

00:57:39.580 I can't even look at his face

00:57:40.800 Can't even look at it

00:57:43.200 Alright let's do it on this day in history

00:57:44.780 You guys seem to like that bit

00:57:45.900 My eyes are watching that bit

00:57:47.640 I'm going to start sneezing soon

00:57:49.000 Okay

00:57:54.720 I might have to rush through things a bit

00:57:58.980 Someone says Bo's boogers

00:58:00.600 It's not boogers

00:58:03.280 Anyway 0.99

00:58:04.060 On this day in history

00:58:06.340 September the 10th

00:58:07.180 Down through the centuries

00:58:07.840 Nay the millennia

00:58:08.840 What happened of note

00:58:09.480 Let's have a little look-see

00:58:10.340 On this day in 1776

00:58:11.880 George Washington asks for a spire

00:58:13.960 And Nathan Hale volunteers

00:58:15.780 Oh dear

00:58:17.960 So he was actually caught by the British

00:58:22.280 It's obviously in the War of Independence

00:58:23.400 The Revolutionary War

00:58:24.560 He was caught by the British and executed 0.50

00:58:26.500 And he's the guy, isn't he 0.59

00:58:28.120 Who said

00:58:28.800 my only regret is that I've only got one life to give

00:58:32.700 for my country

00:58:34.820 ultra ultra uber patriot

00:58:38.880 type of patriotism most of us can barely comprehend

00:58:41.800 not only am I happy to die

00:58:44.900 to be martyred for the cause

00:58:46.340 my only wish is I could do it more than once

00:58:48.400 based

00:58:50.700 okay

00:58:53.120 Nathan Hale if you're interested

00:58:55.980 look at that up in your own time

00:58:56.880 on this day in 1813

00:58:58.300 American naval commander Oliver Hazard Perry, one of their greats.

00:59:01.900 This is the War of 1812.

00:59:03.660 Sorry, yeah, the War of 1812.

00:59:06.580 Most things actually happened in the War of 1812 in 1813 and 1814.

00:59:10.660 Anyway, American naval commander Oliver Hazard Perry

00:59:12.800 defeats the British at the Battle of Lake Erie,

00:59:15.500 which was pivotal, meaning that the Royal Navy

00:59:20.400 was just out of that entire theatre of combat.

00:59:23.940 it meant that the united states could retake places like detroit and a whole number of places

00:59:31.500 it was on lake erie the royal navy had a few vessels like half a dozen

00:59:37.200 ships or maybe a bit more and americans took them on and won

00:59:40.420 there you go probably that alone

00:59:44.480 condemned the war of 1812 to be unwinnable from the british side from the british point of view

00:59:52.500 all right oh do you think i've got long form content all about it actually it's on history

00:59:58.800 bro actually it's on uh where is it in conversation with benjamin boyce in conversation with benjamin

01:00:06.300 boyce long form content all about the war of 1812 if you're interested it's also on epochs actually

01:00:12.240 it's also it's one of the ones that's on epochs and on history bro that's that's my history

01:00:17.620 themed content behind the paywall on lotus eaters.com roda's epochs do consider sign up

01:00:21.760 that was five pound a month bronze team membership we get access to over 280

01:00:26.640 long-form videos about history many of them in conversation with mr cole benjamin aka sargon

01:00:35.840 a body of work built up over five years quite literally without exaggeration hundreds and

01:00:39.600 hundreds of hours of history themed content there if you want to know about that okay

01:00:43.760 uh what's the next thing what have we got uh on this day in 1848 elias howe

01:00:51.760 takes out a US patent for a lockstitch sewing machine.

01:00:56.040 I don't care about that.

01:00:58.320 I've said before, haven't I?

01:00:59.900 It has to be something quite obscure and boring in history,

01:01:02.800 really quite obscure and really quite boring,

01:01:04.420 before I, like a massive history nerd,

01:01:08.580 are like, uh, yeah, don't care.

01:01:11.100 Well, that's one of those things.

01:01:13.380 The first ever patent on a locksmith sewing machine.

01:01:16.440 Yeah, next, next thing.

01:01:17.700 Okay

01:01:19.660 On this day in 1924

01:01:22.220 Leopold and Loeb

01:01:23.960 Are found guilty of the murder of Bobby Franks

01:01:26.900 In Chicago, a kid

01:01:27.920 Bobby Franks

01:01:29.140 In the crime of the century

01:01:31.380 I must admit I didn't know

01:01:34.340 Much about this or anything about this

01:01:36.160 And they were just two

01:01:37.540 People, Loeb, was he due? I don't know

01:01:40.100 They were only young themselves 1.00

01:01:43.120 I think they were gay

01:01:43.900 They were only like 18 or 19 years old themselves 0.98

01:01:46.400 anyway they kidnapped tortured and murdered some younger kid who's like 14 and i think i might be

01:01:51.760 wrong i don't know all the details i can't remember all the details but i think it was that one of

01:01:55.280 those murders where they did it just for its own sake and they didn't have anything against that

01:01:59.200 bobby franks they just they wanted to do a murder for its own sake to sort of see if they could get

01:02:04.160 away with it because they thought they were so clever that sort of that sort of thing quite rare

01:02:08.160 but it happens.

01:02:12.480 Okay, on this day in 1977,

01:02:15.660 Hamida Djandoubi

01:02:19.840 Djandoubi is convicted of torture and murder

01:02:25.520 and is the last person to be executed by guillotine in France.

01:02:29.320 That's late, isn't it?

01:02:30.620 1977. 0.57

01:02:31.840 They're still guillotining people.

01:02:33.840 In 1977.

01:02:35.800 This guy deserved it, though. 1.00

01:02:36.920 is a Tunisian 1.00

01:02:38.320 for a start 1.00

01:02:39.520 a Tunisian pimp

01:02:41.480 who at some point decided 0.96

01:02:44.360 one of his own girls 0.74

01:02:45.960 that he was pimping 1.00

01:02:47.220 really should

01:02:49.160 I think she was 1.00

01:02:49.800 she might not have been a prostitute actually 0.92

01:02:50.960 either way 1.00

01:02:51.960 he kidnapped her 0.97

01:02:53.140 tortured her 0.93

01:02:54.440 and murdered her

01:02:55.080 the French authorities decided 0.96

01:02:59.480 to lop off his head 0.98

01:03:01.220 via guillotine 1.00

01:03:02.660 And then the bleeding heart liberals got their way

01:03:07.940 Like they did across most of the western world

01:03:09.980 And said you can't execute people anymore 0.58

01:03:12.200 That would be morally wrong 1.00

01:03:13.480 Is it morally wrong to chop off the head of somebody like that? 0.99

01:03:16.280 Is it? 0.99

01:03:17.520 I don't think so

01:03:18.320 I think it's morally correct

01:03:20.360 Some crimes warrant death

01:03:25.400 You've forfeited your life for that

01:03:31.800 In my opinion

01:03:34.280 Okay, on this day in 2008

01:03:36.000 The Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland

01:03:40.360 Described as the biggest scientific experiment in the history of mankind

01:03:44.600 What it is

01:03:45.320 Is powered up in Geneva, Switzerland

01:03:47.600 Love CERN

01:03:49.480 Watch loads and loads and loads and loads of shows and documentaries

01:03:53.160 Read articles about CERN and the Large Hadron Collider

01:03:57.080 Yeah

01:03:58.180 they did discover the Higgs boson didn't they eventually quite a few years after 2008 they

01:04:05.920 first powered it up and switched it on for a while briefly what for a few weeks a few months and then

01:04:09.880 there was a problem with it one of the super cooled magnets didn't work and then that's turn

01:04:13.760 it off for like another year or two but then they got it online again and now it's now yeah

01:04:17.780 firing particles uh an appreciable percentage of the speed of light see what happens what

01:04:27.040 comes out of that. Anyway, it looks now, one last thing, I'll quickly say that before I move on,

01:04:32.360 because I could easily talk for 10, 20 minutes, half an hour, an hour about the Large Hadron

01:04:36.580 Collider. One of the things is, it now looks like it's probably not powerful enough

01:04:42.220 to do the type of science they want or they need to do. The Large Hadron Collider is sort of a

01:04:50.180 little bit too small, and it's not small, right? It's the biggest experiment ever created by the

01:04:56.800 hands of men but it needs to be a little bit more powerful than it's capable of being and then they

01:05:03.520 can do that's what they're saying then they can do some a bit more science which well anyway

01:05:11.040 hopefully one day somewhere they'll build an even larger even more powerful

01:05:18.400 particle accelerator okay on this day in 2020 california's august complex wildfire becomes

01:05:24.160 the largest recorded in state history at 471 000 acres at 736 square miles yeah completely different

01:05:33.440 to like the palisades fire that was in 2025 wasn't it the palisades fire in la yeah in 2020 there was

01:05:40.080 a giant giant wildfire in california all right let's move on i've got to do more recording later

01:05:47.120 this morning so can't be here all morning is global church history going to be in at number

01:05:51.680 one for our rubber rants and super chats let's look at our rubber ramp first

01:06:02.480 is global church history going to be in at number one is it a good day yes there is

01:06:05.680 global church history in at number one you say today in 1481 ad uh otranto was liberated from

01:06:14.080 the ottomans after just over one year yeah i'll try to right on the heel of italy isn't it right

01:06:19.360 right on the heel of italy and the ottomans took it in the 15th century so in the ascendancy

01:06:27.040 westwards uh but it was retaken by sort of papal forces genoese and papal forces like a year later

01:06:34.880 uh that's what global church history is talking about there and the other one you say is

01:06:40.720 in 1608 john smith was made president of the jamestown colony

01:06:44.800 Yeah, John Smith's interesting

01:06:46.760 Sort of English

01:06:47.720 Explorer and soldier 1.00

01:06:50.120 Like forcing the Jamestown colony 1.00

01:06:52.720 To be a success

01:06:53.520 Despite weather

01:06:56.580 And native attacks

01:06:58.120 And lack of skills and tools

01:07:00.840 Just making it work

01:07:02.380 Just through hard work and gumption

01:07:03.860 Elbow grease

01:07:04.540 He's famously supposed to have said, isn't he?

01:07:09.180 If you don't work, you don't eat

01:07:11.200 Well, it's not his line, is it?

01:07:12.480 That's from the Bible

01:07:14.800 that's a line from the bible but sort of famously re-quoted it 0.84

01:07:18.800 yeah you want to be part of the jamestown colony you've got to work

01:07:22.860 really really really hard every single person

01:07:25.040 well it did work jamestown is there to this day isn't it

01:07:31.160 all right next up we've got global global jewish history

01:07:34.680 what are they going to say today all right we've got

01:07:38.680 the next two are global jewish history he says

01:07:41.800 on september the 10th 1981 amid the political backlash that followed israel's destruction of

01:07:48.500 saddam hussein's uh aussie rack in nuclear reactor evangelical pastor john haggie

01:07:57.100 held the first night to honor israel did he what do you want me to do with that

01:08:04.140 did he okay all right and the next one says this helped launch an organized evangelical response

01:08:15.520 to america and international pressure on the jewish on the jewish state

01:08:20.520 this proved that judaism and christianity are the real history bros

01:08:25.680 what are you talking about what are you talking about

01:08:35.700 i think you're trying to be too clever by half

01:08:41.380 let me read that again 0.90

01:08:44.360 this helped organize international pressure on jewish state this proved that judaism and

01:08:51.260 christianity were the real history bros what are you what point are you trying to make i don't

01:08:55.680 And I'm honestly not really following

01:09:00.360 What you're getting at particularly

01:09:02.820 Alright

01:09:08.480 Fallen Firebird says

01:09:11.140 I find the watershed

01:09:13.680 Caused by certain traumatic events

01:09:15.840 Increasingly compelling

01:09:17.840 I guess he's talking about 9-11 perhaps

01:09:19.420 E.g.

01:09:22.200 The psychic shock of World War I on Europe

01:09:24.760 yeah

01:09:25.640 the destruction and death cast a shadow

01:09:28.660 on the European soul forever

01:09:30.200 yeah 0.85

01:09:30.500 the greatest catastrophe

01:09:32.460 that has ever befallen

01:09:34.280 Europe

01:09:36.420 is World War I

01:09:38.600 of course the death toll of World War II was bigger

01:09:40.560 but World War II is really

01:09:42.960 in various ways

01:09:44.420 a continuation of World War I

01:09:46.860 it's like that's one big war

01:09:48.880 and there was just a hiatus in the middle of it

01:09:50.880 how lots of historians

01:09:53.340 look at that now

01:09:54.760 i view it like that spoke to dan carlin once the podfather of all history youtubers dan carlin

01:10:03.980 oh so so uh yep there you go on history do you want would you be interested in like an hour and

01:10:13.760 40 odd i think it is of me in conversation with dan carlin hardcore histories dan carlin

01:10:20.400 Would you be interested in that?

01:10:22.320 Talk about all sorts of things

01:10:23.200 Talk about historiography

01:10:24.480 The nature of history

01:10:25.540 Ask him a load of hypotheticals

01:10:28.280 Like how many

01:10:29.280 How many Bradley fighting vehicles

01:10:31.120 Would it take to

01:10:31.960 Destroy a 0.84

01:10:33.280 A Roman army 1.00

01:10:35.160 All stuff like that 0.97

01:10:37.000 Are you interested in that?

01:10:39.600 Head over to history bro

01:10:40.500 It's free

01:10:41.180 There's no paywall

01:10:41.820 Anyway

01:10:43.740 Why did I mention Dan Carlin?

01:10:49.060 Oh yeah

01:10:49.600 well he agrees

01:10:50.460 sorry that's why

01:10:51.240 Dan Carlin agrees that

01:10:52.520 World War I and World War II

01:10:54.820 are sort of the same conflict

01:10:56.120 there was just a hiatus

01:10:56.940 in the middle

01:10:57.500 really

01:10:57.980 you can't argue it the other way

01:11:01.500 no they're complete

01:11:02.160 complete distinct

01:11:03.180 and separate things

01:11:04.180 alright

01:11:06.020 yeah the shadow

01:11:08.500 cast over the

01:11:09.480 over the European soul

01:11:10.840 forever 0.79

01:11:11.380 by World War I

01:11:12.840 yeah the psychic shock of it

01:11:17.840 people were different

01:11:19.620 the human experience was something slightly different before and after world war one yeah

01:11:25.460 9 11 is like that on a much smaller scale of course a much smaller degree but yeah yeah

01:11:33.620 the psychic shock of it all right let's have a look at our rumble uh the super chats youtube

01:11:39.380 super chats please harry you need to bring that for me would you make that so engaged there they

01:11:44.820 are thank you okay there's 20 or more than 20 probably here uh i need to go and blow my nose

01:11:51.280 and have a big sneeze i'm gonna whip through him really whip through him today i've got to as well

01:11:55.960 i'm supposed to be doing a recording at 10 with chris dangefield hopefully fingers crossed

01:11:59.140 good old dange all right cg ma'am says hope you were able to talk to pitt i was also played

01:12:07.620 also played the show on the telly today my missus says you were handsome and dapper

01:12:12.780 A woman of impeccable taste

01:12:14.960 Impeccable taste 1.00

01:12:16.320 Absolutely flawless

01:12:17.880 He says so never doing that again

01:12:24.800 Okay

01:12:25.160 Yeah I did speak to Harrison Pitt about it

01:12:29.980 Yeah

01:12:30.200 We're working through it

01:12:32.600 We'll get him on again sometime soon

01:12:35.280 Or I'll get him on State of Politics

01:12:36.560 Perhaps State of Politics

01:12:37.340 And we'll go through

01:12:38.160 We'll have a proper conversation about it

01:12:39.920 Have a proper proper conversation about it

01:12:42.100 and i mean i haven't got time to really go through everything we talked about because

01:12:46.940 we talked about it for a fair bit but they're aware and they're making policy about it and

01:12:51.540 it does boil down to a couple of different things um uh apart from everything else the 1.00

01:12:59.000 pressure of like the the the bio weapon of having so many indians here um that first and foremost 1.00

01:13:07.780 release the pressure on that try and remigrate a bunch of those first and then you've got much 0.99

01:13:13.540 more leverage against Modi or the Indian government whether it's led by Modi or not

01:13:18.440 yeah but what I'm trying to say shorthand here there is a multi-layer of thinking to the policy

01:13:28.200 well there will be right there will be so it's not just simply deport all Indians in one day 0.94

01:13:35.800 and cut out all their industry with a scalpel from our society 0.95

01:13:39.120 and don't replace it with anything.

01:13:41.060 No, it won't be that.

01:13:41.860 It can't be that.

01:13:44.340 The policy will be layered and it will make sense.

01:13:49.220 That's what Harrison was telling me.

01:13:51.440 But we'll talk about it in due time

01:13:53.260 when the policy is sort of complete, really.

01:13:56.480 It's not fully complete at this stage.

01:13:58.460 So there you go.

01:14:01.060 I suppose, just to say, CG man, 0.90

01:14:02.800 it's not that they're not aware they are very aware painfully aware it's not just the indians

01:14:09.020 as well it's a couple of countries and peoples that have got like an overly powerful influence

01:14:14.960 on britain yeah okay

01:14:17.760 aristotle luton says bo you're right yeah i'm all right i hope you are

01:14:24.420 you put did you see the labor candidate for starmer's old seat somali and me

01:14:29.520 Somali and me

01:14:32.740 They've said

01:14:33.320 Yeah I've seen it

01:14:34.360 Yeah the state of it

01:14:35.200 That's what the Labour Party is now

01:14:37.240 That's what the Labour Party is 1.00

01:14:39.260 Some Somali woman 1.00

01:14:41.760 Some big fat Somali woman 1.00

01:14:43.620 Disgusting 1.00

01:14:46.500 I don't want Somalis to be MPs 1.00

01:14:49.020 I don't want them anywhere near power 1.00

01:14:50.400 I don't want any foreign person near power 1.00

01:14:52.960 Why would you?

01:14:56.760 Machiavelli would be turning in his grave

01:14:58.680 no don't let your enemies racial religious tribal don't let them be your over overlords 0.83

01:15:06.180 don't let them be your masters because they don't have your best interests at heart yeah 0.99

01:15:12.120 it's stating the obvious isn't it i don't want some somali woman to be an mp but that's that's 1.00

01:15:16.800 who the labor party have selected that's who they are insane traitors yeah 0.99

01:15:23.300 Sickening, it's really sickening 0.98

01:15:28.040 Varg231 says 0.96

01:15:29.760 Money from overseas is bad

01:15:32.860 But people from overseas can become politicians

01:15:34.960 Make it make sense, yeah, good point

01:15:36.300 Yeah, good point 0.96

01:15:37.320 You know, you can't have donations from an American person 1.00

01:15:40.860 But here's a Somali person to be the actual 1.00

01:15:43.620 Holder of office 0.99

01:15:45.880 Yeah

01:15:46.580 Mad

01:15:48.100 Tiger, spelled T-Y-G-R-8

01:15:51.920 Says

01:16:27.740 $200

01:16:28.180 or it'll go

01:16:28.960 it'll go

01:16:29.400 it'll break a record

01:16:30.600 of whatever that is

01:16:31.440 just shy of $200

01:16:32.940 or something

01:16:48.980 and

01:16:49.580 well I did say all along

01:16:51.100 that you may well be right, isn't I?

01:16:53.020 I'm not ruling it out.

01:16:54.540 You may well be right.

01:16:56.820 Quite what may well be right.

01:17:00.260 Okay, Brendan Lucas says,

01:17:01.780 Burnham also at Prime Minister's questions,

01:17:04.540 similar to Northern Ireland.

01:17:05.840 If there is a clear majority for Scottish independence,

01:17:08.540 that mandates a referendum,

01:17:10.420 but he seemed unaware that the Northern Irish poll

01:17:12.860 is treaty bound.

01:17:15.240 Oh, interesting.

01:17:18.140 Interesting.

01:17:21.100 I didn't watch all of the PMQs

01:17:24.800 So I actually didn't see that bit

01:17:26.120 Was that near the beginning or near the end of it?

01:17:27.480 I can't remember

01:17:27.920 I can't remember

01:17:29.420 I didn't see that bit

01:17:30.220 Interesting though

01:17:32.960 Thanks Brandon Lucas

01:17:33.760 Take quid there

01:17:34.780 Very generous of you sir

01:17:35.660 Appreciate it

01:17:36.900 I've got to move on

01:17:38.120 I'm going to whip through the next

01:17:39.440 There's still loads

01:17:40.900 I'm going to whip through them

01:17:41.920 I've got

01:17:42.360 I've actually got to

01:17:44.220 And I'll say that a lot

01:17:46.480 Most days even

01:17:47.520 I've really got to today

01:17:48.920 Mr Dickie Bingo says

01:17:50.480 Imagine AI breaking into a gain-of-function lab

01:17:53.680 Exactly, exactly

01:17:54.540 Imagine it becoming capable of launching nuclear weapons

01:17:58.940 Or whatever, yeah

01:17:59.940 Just opening doors to, yeah, a gain-of-function lab

01:18:03.300 There you go

01:18:04.780 Nearly all humanity dead, botulism or whatever

01:18:07.260 Ebola

01:18:08.760 The AI just opened a lock

01:18:11.280 That's it, that's all, that's it

01:18:13.740 99% of humanity gone

01:18:15.720 Like in 12 Monkeys

01:18:18.860 Brendan Lucas again says

01:18:20.440 Daleks aren't artificial intelligence

01:18:24.060 FFS

01:18:25.160 Daily Star

01:18:26.640 Yeah, Daily Star

01:18:27.640 Get it right

01:18:30.500 Daleks aren't even that

01:18:32.880 Mr. Gently Benevolent says

01:18:36.260 AI might kill us, Bo

01:18:38.560 Which admittedly is a bit S

01:18:40.940 On the other hand

01:18:44.000 It does allow you to generate pics of yourself 0.98

01:18:46.560 Looking foreign 0.83

01:18:47.600 So not all bad 0.98

01:18:48.540 Yeah

01:18:48.800 I don't generate any of those pics

01:18:51.360 I've never generated a single picture of myself

01:18:53.460 There are other people do it

01:18:54.660 It's like giving yourself the nickname of like Ace

01:18:58.340 Telling other people that you're cool

01:19:02.180 No you can't do that

01:19:03.040 That's terrible

01:19:03.660 If other people do it, okay

01:19:05.100 But just for the record

01:19:06.820 I don't generate any of those pictures

01:19:09.120 But yeah

01:19:10.620 They might destroy us

01:19:12.280 But at least you've got

01:19:13.220 At least Grok can generate funny pictures

01:19:15.360 Swings and roundabouts

01:19:17.100 carboot bounty says hi bo i've done a long video chat with chris dangerfield on my other

01:19:54.920 surely that's a troll you're trolling there brendan surely that's a star trek film isn't it

01:20:03.580 i find that quite funny deliberately confusing star trek and star wars

01:20:08.460 That is

01:20:09.540 Quite funny

01:20:11.120 Okay

01:20:11.480 Max Robe says

01:20:12.460 I feel for you

01:20:13.360 Used to have snuffles

01:20:14.600 Grumbling tum

01:20:16.920 Or hacking attacks

01:20:18.880 From dry air in meetings

01:20:20.680 Very annoying

01:20:21.400 Yeah thanks Max Robe

01:20:22.400 I appreciate that

01:20:22.980 I don't know

01:20:23.320 This is the first time

01:20:24.160 Isn't it in nine months

01:20:24.880 I don't usually have this

01:20:25.880 I don't know what it is

01:20:26.580 This morning when I came in

01:20:28.140 Even when the stream started

01:20:29.660 I didn't have this

01:20:30.540 Mid stream

01:20:31.980 My nose has really started to run

01:20:33.680 I don't know

01:20:34.040 It's going to happen

01:20:34.560 Something like that

01:20:35.220 It's going to happen

01:20:35.600 Isn't it

01:20:36.060 Okay

01:20:36.260 Tatum2733 says

01:20:38.340 A man once said that big, that big sweenies, brackets, you know, are for peasants, whilst

01:20:47.340 aristocrats appreciate small ones, but peasants have become emperor, but peasants have become

01:20:55.160 emperors before, so I'm fine.

01:20:59.540 Each to their own.

01:21:02.200 Each to their own.

01:21:04.720 I'm a fan of all shapes and sizes.

01:21:07.300 Max Robe says

01:21:08.840 Obviously quote

01:21:10.580 It resounds and thunders

01:21:13.460 Far and wide

01:21:14.400 Thine ancient honour

01:21:15.720 O Frisian soil

01:21:17.160 End quote

01:21:18.140 I don't know if that's a real quote from something

01:21:21.520 Or a real quote from something

01:21:23.360 That you've changed to put Frisian at the end

01:21:25.560 I don't know

01:21:26.680 Either way that's funny

01:21:28.580 Thank you for the super chat

01:21:30.740 Daniel D. King says

01:21:31.760 Nottingham council banned face coverings

01:21:33.940 About religious exemption

01:21:35.280 Muslim counsellor in the papers

01:21:37.640 Giving interviews

01:21:47.640 No one's allowed to cover their face 1.00

01:21:50.040 Apart from Muslims

01:21:50.880 Because they're special 1.00

01:21:51.620 And they're a client class

01:21:52.920 And the rules don't actually apply to them

01:21:55.500 Everyone else

01:21:56.120 Don't you dare cover your face

01:21:58.060 Yeah

01:22:03.920 Anyone ever said you look like Vinnie Jones

01:22:08.540 Across the eyes from a distance on the main podcast

01:22:11.320 No, I've been likened to loads of different people

01:22:13.400 I look like loads of different people

01:22:14.640 Either from Richard O'Brien and Cole Pilkington

01:22:17.320 Through to Agent 47 and like Jason Statham

01:22:21.960 I don't think I've ever had Vinnie Jones

01:22:23.920 Okay

01:22:25.820 I'll take it

01:22:27.880 He's not the most handsome guy in the world

01:22:29.040 But he's handsome enough to be in films

01:22:30.840 I'll take it

01:22:33.920 Tatum2733 says

01:22:36.260 Oh the penultimate one here
