Transcript
00:00:27.100
come on wake up come on come on time to get out of bed i'm joined by harry my producer little
00:00:34.920
harry how are you this morning good sir morning i'm all good great cool
00:00:39.020
you are the glorious band the chosen few my band of brothers thank you for joining me it's just
00:00:45.440
one minute past eight in the a.m in greenwich meantime it's now what is thursday now isn't it
00:00:50.240
it's thursday the 12th of march in the year of our lord 2026
00:00:54.080
let's jump straight in what's going on what's the corporate mainstream media
00:00:58.000
banging on about this morning they've decided it's back to it's back to mandy this morning
00:01:05.440
in unison all of the print media have decided their first every single one the front page is
00:01:12.340
mandy starmer and mandy now it's almost as though they're controlled by one person by one mind
00:01:18.740
isn't it that they all decided in unison all of them from the from the ft to the the star
00:01:26.500
they all decided to go with mandy not there's not a big story in britain today it is but
00:01:30.760
all of them there's been wall to all iran day after day after day back to mandy i mean all right
00:01:38.260
well okay it is what it is we've also got a lot of iran on the actual uh websites and the secondary
00:01:45.700
some of the secondary headlines on the front pages
00:02:38.120
Inquiring to Iran, a primary school missile strike
00:02:40.640
Blames a US mistake for an attack that killed 175
00:03:04.340
I didn't know if he was watching the Bo show yesterday
00:03:35.780
at this point, why we haven't got all the documents
00:03:39.740
at this point because the police investigation is still ongoing and they're not going to release
00:03:43.780
stuff until they're good and ready you know but still the internal cabinet office i think cabinet
00:03:49.620
office uh papers were released or again not even all of those because a lot of those will relate
00:03:56.940
to the police investigation anyway there was a limited dump of documents and papers um from the
00:04:04.800
government right from starmer's government from the cabinet office from the white hall under
00:04:08.860
Starmer at least anyway um and they show a number of there's a number of things a number of new
00:04:15.300
data points for us to talk about but I suppose the biggest one and we'll get into all of them
00:04:20.600
of course but the biggest one is the I suppose arguably Starmer just did know of Mandelson's
00:04:30.040
friendship with Epstein I mean everyone knew that anyway there was no question that he didn't
00:04:35.140
know it everyone knew it but it's to what extent he knew it and to what extent he was reminded of it
00:04:41.540
as he picked mandy to be the ambassador to the us these documents show that he was
00:04:48.180
reminded of it quite substantially in no uncertain terms for a number of people a number of times
00:04:56.980
so i suppose that's the biggest element of it isn't it that it shows starmer
00:05:03.300
to one of two things or both of these things just a terrible terrible terrible judge of character
00:05:10.100
no real political understanding no real political acumen um or he's just completely corrupting in
00:05:18.540
on it and part of that whole set himself at least indirectly is is uh in in their pocket
00:05:25.360
to some degree will just do as they want to some degree it's sort of it's got to be one or either
00:05:31.580
possibly both of those things right i mean
0.99
00:05:35.980
or i suppose there is a third option there or he's like really really really naive and dumb to
0.96
00:05:45.020
the point of being like a little child but he's not that though is he i mean i don't think he's
0.97
00:05:48.780
particularly bright and sharp but he's not that dumb right it's not like it's not like an actual
0.93
00:05:54.620
six year old you don't get to be like the head of the cps and stuff if you're that naive if you're
0.94
00:06:01.420
that sort of starry-eyed so so it must be either he's sort of compromised or just a terrible terrible
00:06:11.400
politician terrible terrible judge of character said it before haven't I one of the main things
00:06:15.560
you need to be a prime minister perhaps the main thing other than having a spine and a world view
00:06:24.360
decent vision for Britain other than that is the ability to sort of judge character and pick the
00:06:29.500
right people for the right jobs because that's sort of one of the main things prime minister does
00:06:33.400
is the patron of the prime minister patronage of the prime minister handing out jobs all over the
00:06:37.680
place so doesn't seem to have any sort of innate skill ability ability to do that does it okay
00:06:46.560
let's get into it here documents prove pm was told of quote reputational risk quote
00:06:55.840
before appointing ex-peer as Washington ambassador
00:07:09.780
It was more like nearly 550 grand payout after sacking.
00:07:22.340
Jonathan Powell goes way back to the very beginning of
00:07:52.440
The type of person that's completely responsible
00:07:54.840
for our country being half-destroyed at the moment.
00:08:01.140
I think he was Blair's chief of staff at Number 10
00:08:11.600
He was Starmer's, some sort of very, very close advisor,
00:08:21.860
that it was that Mandy posed a reputational risk.
00:08:30.000
that the process of Mandy getting access to sensitive information
00:08:48.980
all right should we read the blurb on the front of the eyepaper i always think that's pretty good
00:08:53.040
it's about the best you're going to get from fleet street it's the blurb on the front of the
00:08:56.760
eyepaper what a damning indictment that is of the of the media print media in britain
00:09:01.460
that the best the closest thing to sort of completely level reporting is the blurb on the
00:09:09.540
IA paper. All right, Mandelson was shown secret files before weirdly rushed vetting. Hmm.
00:09:28.100
The pain is cooling. Mandy, Mandy, Mandy. Peter Mandelson was given access to highly classified
00:09:34.820
material before he had full security clearance, Number 10 files proved. Why? Why? Why on earth
00:09:43.880
would that have been the case? National Security Advisor, Jonathan Powell I believe, called
00:09:51.060
Prime Minister's appointment of Mendelssohn weirdly rushed and unusual, confirming the
00:09:56.000
iPapers reporting despite denials from Number 10 officials at the time. The iPaper getting a bit
00:10:02.960
of their own back there, a bit of vindication for themselves. When sacked, he, Manderson,
00:10:10.300
demanded £550,000 as payoff and raised prospect of taking UK government to an employment tribunal.
00:10:19.140
Cheeky, cheeky, so-and-so. That number, by the way, would have been just, had he not
00:10:29.900
been fired he was under contract for work to work for a certain amount of years and
00:10:36.060
had he fulfilled all of those years that's how much money he would have got paid so he's
00:10:39.620
just asking for that in total um I threatened to take the government to an employment tribunal
00:11:16.900
but we we did manage to settle for 75 grand with minimal fuss and it was really good we did a good
00:11:23.220
job we all did a good job didn't we to only pay him 75 grand yeah
00:11:27.240
shouldn't get a penny people are calling for him to give that 75 grand back
00:11:34.880
that's the way civil servants and politicians have rigged the system though if you ever fire
00:11:42.560
me even if i've done something terribly wrong if you ever fire me you still have to pay me
00:13:01.200
PM was told of reputational risk over Manson links to Epstein
00:13:16.000
We should talk about Iran for a little bit, five minutes
00:13:23.300
Or either side of the Straits of Hormuz actually
00:13:28.100
And the total so far is something in the ballpark of 15 or 16
00:13:34.000
That's enough really for like lawyers of London
00:13:41.240
to just be like no we're not insuring any ship going through there that's mad
00:13:45.800
why would we why would we that we've we've decided our analysts have made the calculation
00:13:51.160
that risk is far too great there's no way of being sure that any given ship won't get hit by iran so
00:13:57.620
okay that's insurance companies for you and in this instance you can't blame them
00:14:05.300
they're making the right that is the correct analysis isn't it
00:14:11.240
whilst iran can still fire stuff at them drones if not missiles so america if they want the united
00:14:19.740
states and israel if they want the shakespeare moves to open again anytime soon really need to
00:14:24.760
win their war whatever that looks like whatever that means actually actually fully degrade
00:14:31.160
iran's capability of doing that 100 are they able to do that at all don't know are they able to do
00:14:39.980
imminently like in the next few hours in the next day the next two days almost certainly not
00:14:47.340
macron said he'd get his navy in there i'm not seeing it yet not seeing the french navy
00:14:52.300
in the straits of hormones yet but you can't rely on emmanuel macron can you
00:14:59.100
all right well that's happening the tanker war tanker war two there's already been a tanker war
00:15:04.140
was in the age of Reagan wasn't it the tanker war in the gulf Persian Gulf
00:15:10.380
Straits of Hormuz tanker war 2 I'm surprised no one's there's been no
00:15:15.240
headline saying that exactly yet if you see that being said I said it first
00:15:56.520
yeah when you look into the i looked a bit more into it and watched a few more read a bit more
00:16:00.940
around it yesterday and today he was told it wasn't just jonathan power one time going um
00:16:07.040
actually it's probably a bit risky no he's told loads of times from all over the place don't like
00:16:11.880
this is bad he was told he was told that manderson was basically on and off essentially living in
00:16:20.920
one of Epstein's properties whilst Epstein was in prison, the period where Epstein was
00:16:26.260
in prison, and he was kind of living, I think it might have been in that New York property,
00:16:41.600
Incidentally, something I saw in the news a day or two ago, which isn't on any of the
00:16:44.340
front pages, or really on the websites much, but I'll talk about it now real quick, because
00:16:52.060
One of Mandelson's, no, sorry, one of Epstein's many properties
00:17:00.420
Seven, seven and a half thousand acre ranch in New Mexico.
00:17:08.480
It's since been sold on and it's called something else now.
00:17:21.880
Wasn't necessarily on that island of Little St James
00:17:25.120
Little St James was sort of like a celebrity hangout
00:18:36.740
the scuttle but the rumor is that yeah well human experimentation and stuff you know who knows
00:18:43.900
exactly if that's true of course but harvesting people for their blood or whatever cannibalism
0.86
00:18:52.500
cannibalism keeping keeping women um basically like a prisoner a sex slave a baby machine to
00:18:59.880
make a baby machine so then they could do god knows what with the babies so it sounds a bit
0.74
00:19:06.140
out there, doesn't it? I mean, it is out there. It's crazy. It's crazy sounding. It is. No
00:19:11.400
idea if it's true or not. Because at this point, could you put anything past them? Could
00:19:19.480
you? I mean, before the Epstein thing was sort of well known, for example, if you said
00:19:28.340
to people, oh, there's one particular Jewish New York financier who's been trained in
00:20:07.040
that's crazy, that's obviously a conspiracy theory
00:20:34.220
a harem of like women being held as like baby making machines and god knows what happens to
1.00
00:20:42.580
the babies and or just very young women getting killed one way or another for whatever reason
00:20:51.060
and they're just buried Epstein just has them buried somewhere out in the New Mexico desert
00:20:56.560
is it that far-fetched at this point i don't know i don't know the police of new mexico
00:21:06.880
there you have it all right what have we got here on on uh in the sun
00:21:29.200
He knew that he was living in Epstein's apartment
00:21:49.280
and jules osborne on nathaniel rothstein's yacht fifth baron rothstein that they'd go on a holiday
00:21:56.060
together you know and um send each other cards and just be very close you know really really close
00:22:02.100
friends i've i've got like normal i'd like to think normal friends normal relationship with
00:22:09.820
my friends i haven't got a single friend that i'm that close with where i email them most days
00:22:19.460
make sure i send them cards all the time go on holiday with them every year or more than once a
00:22:26.960
year uh i know some girls i've always known girls or my girlfriend who's got girlfriends that
00:22:39.160
they're that close with where they're in contact with them every day all the time maybe multiple
00:22:42.680
times a day okay but as a normal a normal bloke that you don't owe them anything and they don't
00:22:49.820
owe you anything why would you be that close why would you be that close to someone well because
00:22:54.200
it's not normal is it because it's not a normal relationship is it it's not it wasn't a normal
00:22:57.620
friendship was it obviously so something way more than that look what's a weird freak put his
00:23:07.400
picture up, Harry. Look, his weird, beaky, weirdo face. For Pete's sake, PM, says the
0.89
00:23:19.900
son, for Pete's sake, Axe Peer got £75,000 pay off. Okay. The Metro, don't, don't, don't,
00:23:55.860
yeah i think i think mark mark did very well to get the settlement down as low
00:24:01.900
as low to 75 grand with minimal fuss did he do well mark whoever that is
00:24:09.780
starman was clearly uh warned hiring a labor grandee could damage his own reputation yeah
00:24:18.700
again he was told a few different times from a few different angles that obviously mandy's like
00:24:40.860
someone that's been an ambassador to other places
00:24:59.960
They get like a double first at Cambridge or something.
00:25:05.980
and be like just working in an embassy for a few years
00:25:12.640
Then you become ambassador to like Burundi or something.
00:25:17.840
Later become ambassador to maybe Italy or something.
00:25:20.780
And finally, like last couple of years of your career
00:25:23.060
as uh as like a final honor just as an honor you get to be ambassador to the u.s for a year or two
00:25:31.400
that's what it should be not just parachuting mandy right it's weird it's weird i will just
00:25:39.260
get old mandy who's been disgraced a number of times and everyone knows he's a weirdo
00:25:43.760
a freak he's already got the moniker and has had for more than 20 years the prince of darkness or
00:25:49.020
something he's got known he goes on yachting holidays with Mandelson don't worry about his
00:25:58.960
vetting too much just just rush that through just green like that in fact start giving him secrets
00:26:03.200
before that's even finished get him over to Washington DC ASAP yeah it's not how it normally
00:26:12.420
he works is not how it should work there you go so starmer i mean it's not just again as i said
00:26:20.920
at the beginning it's not just that he's sort of wide-eyed didn't know what to do and morgan
00:26:25.800
mugsweeney said pick mandy pick mandy and he just went uh yeah okay pick mandy then all right
00:26:32.180
no no it's not how it went was it it would be like mandy's plugged in to the deepest darkest
00:26:40.520
networks that are more powerful than you, Sikir. You're picking him, right? Because we may
00:26:49.800
well have compromise on you. So you're picking Mandy, yeah?
0.85
00:26:57.240
kiss some city oh oh yeah yeah okay okay don't destroy me
0.83
00:27:07.880
don't tell the world about my ukrainian rent boys arsonist rent boys
0.86
00:27:13.720
what what we can't talk about that well i can i'm gonna
00:27:20.360
from time to time or at least mention it in passing sarcastically when they come up for
00:27:25.240
trial that's going to be funny these ukrainian rent boys that set fire to
00:27:36.120
can't wait for their trial wonder what happened there wonder if they'll just
0.98
00:27:41.320
disappear whether they'll whether they'll commit suicide in jail or what
00:27:46.280
the star there's tough toffolo who cares who cares give me
00:28:22.660
the mirror the mirror is one of one of the worst well it's not necessarily purely in its takes
00:28:29.620
but how sort of ruthless their journalists and journalism are sometimes like if you hear of a
00:28:36.640
journalist doing something particularly scummy you know like ringing up the phone of of a
00:28:43.880
of a dead girl so their parents think she might still be alive something like that
00:29:05.840
As well as their takes being completely lefty and globalist
00:29:18.280
the male group not much better try and try and pretend they're actually something a cut a slightly
00:29:26.400
cut above sort of the mirror or the star or the sun they're not and more subversive in many ways
00:29:32.420
in some ways never be fooled that the mirror is right wing or right leaning in any way or sort of
00:29:46.360
They're here to destroy our civil societies, what they do.
0.65
00:30:15.160
he's not wrong, he isn't fit to lead the country
00:30:19.080
I wonder if this will, in fact I think that's what our poll was about
00:31:19.120
Memo told Starmer personal links left him more exposed
00:31:29.320
This time with Princess Anne, the Princess Royal
00:31:31.600
She's got to be old, that's Princess Anne, right?
0.99
00:32:02.860
they're the front pages let's have a quick look at our poll
00:32:40.400
or maybe i wouldn't have clicked yes i don't think so i think he's gonna probably who knows
00:32:49.200
what the backbenchers how out of their pram the backbenchers are going to get about it probably
0.99
00:32:53.380
not much i do feel like though my prediction and i'll put sort of a 70 on it is that after the
00:33:02.040
May elections when they get trounced, Labour get trounced. The Conservatives will get trounced
00:33:07.200
as well, I would have thought. Both Kemi and Starmer, both of them, will be staring down
00:33:17.000
the barrel of getting ousted. I put at this moment about a 70% chance that Starmer isn't
00:33:25.040
Prime Minister much longer after those May elections. So still, I'm hedging my bets a
00:33:55.500
it erodes his position more and more and more doesn't it until
00:34:30.140
i mean i heard someone this morning put it in a bit of perspective it's an interesting perspective
00:34:34.460
that um in what like 2022 it went way higher than that and just before the credit the credit crunch
00:34:46.560
which is like 2007 started in 2007 and carried on all the way through 08 even 09 before that
00:34:54.380
so in like 2005 2006 i.e when you could say you could argue that the world economy the global
00:35:02.460
economy was sort of at one of its zeniths at its height you might say in various senses
00:35:10.080
certainly much healthier than it is now crude was exactly this sort of price hovering in and around
00:35:18.580
hundred dollars a barrel so put it in some perspective don't believe some
0.99
00:35:27.680
stupid mirror front page or some crazy lefty sky news reporter trying to tell
0.99
00:35:32.840
you that the price of oil is 105 dollars a barrel now everything is going to
1.00
00:35:36.660
implode it's time to start hoarding petrol no no no no no no no calm down
00:35:43.480
oh they've released strategic oil reserves and millions of barrels of it so that happens all
00:35:49.660
the time it's not that uncommon at all that's the whole point of them calm down okay epstein
00:36:00.680
used modeling agent to recruit girls brazilian women tell the bbc oh did he yeah probably
00:36:05.500
that's a classic thing isn't it it's a classic thing even a one-man operation weirdo freak
0.98
00:37:09.380
do not care inquiring to student loans launched by mp this is a bit mps this is a bit in the news
00:37:16.040
this morning um the student loans for anyone i'll quickly say it because i think people that aren't
00:37:22.720
british and aren't young enough to be involved in this probably just don't care about it at all but
00:37:27.480
those that do would and it is a bit in the news in various places it used to be that you could go to
00:37:34.140
university for free in fact you would get a grant if you were poor enough the the state would pay
00:37:40.380
you to go to university well all that changed what in the Blair years was it just before the
00:37:45.520
Blair years in the major or Blair years all that changed now you have to pay fees to go to
00:37:50.200
university anyone who can't just anyone who isn't independently wealthy can't necessarily pay the
00:37:55.340
fees there's the student loans company they will loan you money to pay your fees and you pay them
00:38:01.280
back over many many years but like any other loan there's an interest on it okay okay fine
00:38:06.120
you know I've got loans from student loans company uh but back when I did it in the very very early
00:38:11.260
2000s um the the actual fees themselves are way lower than they are now I mean orders of magnitude
00:38:18.320
lower and the interest rate was much lower like only I had to borrow for a whole three years worth
00:38:27.840
of undergrad i borrowed something like nine grand with like not an insane amount of interest on it
00:38:34.380
now you're looking at 40 grand 70 grand 90 grand with a really high with really high interest on
00:38:40.540
that as well so way different now and anyway it seems that there's even for loans it's sort of
00:38:50.820
not entirely no it's not it's not fair you signed up for it but it's not like good terms put it that
00:38:56.960
way it's not good it's not it's not a good deal and they don't necessarily let people know how
00:39:02.180
bad of a deal they're signing up for I mean that's like all credit cards all loans I like that they
00:39:09.900
say yeah yeah have the money take the money don't read the small print too much take the money yeah
00:39:15.660
that's what it is that's what it always is but anyway that they let you at a certain point repay
00:39:25.780
so little because you've just come out of uni and your first job probably won't pay all that well
00:39:31.660
so so they let they don't make you make your first repayments massive but sometimes they're
00:39:37.000
so small that it doesn't even cover the interest on it so in other words it could be could well be
00:39:44.040
that you're paying it off for quite a few years and then you look at your statement and you owe
00:39:49.620
more than you did at the beginning because the interest is keep topping off okay okay so it's
00:39:54.240
not a good deal, like to the point where it's sort of, it's difficult not to describe it
00:40:02.600
as unfair, once again, you signed on the dotted line, didn't you, though, that's the nature
00:40:09.620
it, depends how badly you wanted that degree, okay, anyway, alright, so student loans, student
00:40:18.660
sometimes the interest is sky higher and to the point where MPs themselves are actually looking
00:40:29.140
into it it's like is this a fundamentally unfair thing I mean all right maybe I'll talk about it
00:40:39.380
in even more detail another day probably when it rears its head if and when parliament make
00:40:44.240
actual legislation about it or something boy 15 arrested after girls stabbed in
00:40:51.400
school just a boy no description of him so you know them don't you just a boy
00:40:57.080
okay all right let's have a look at some of the other websites that's been
00:41:03.320
used let's be news usually mirrors BBC quite closely there's not usually anything
00:41:07.740
particularly unique that ITV news website does that none of the others do
00:41:12.440
Like Sky or The Mail Online will come up with something entirely of their own.
00:41:18.260
Might even take ITV News off this list of ones because it's not that great.
00:41:25.880
All right, UK, star-much-face questions after, okay.
00:41:29.560
Beth Rigby, get a load of this insight, the insightful political analysis,
00:41:39.380
prepared to be skewered on the point of Beth Rigby's intellect it's difficult to see how
0.95
00:41:46.360
Starmer can put this right wow wow Beth Rigby again this is really bad for Keir Starmer
00:41:59.720
You can see why she's Sky News' number one mind
00:42:29.940
Do you remember a world where Beth Rigby wasn't really a thing
00:42:48.200
She can tell you why and how the world goes round
00:42:54.700
sort of what like reality what's going on she'll pass reality for you beth rigby
0.99
00:43:04.940
clown hand-picked globalist clown of a woman
1.00
00:43:21.080
woman who falsely accused 10 men of raping her is jailed 10 men she'd go on dating apps
0.99
00:43:32.160
go on like a date or something and then just accused the bloke of raping her
0.99
00:44:35.040
And she was given four and a half years in jail
00:44:53.080
I'd put her in a straitjacket and a padded ring
0.99
00:46:47.860
Statistically you're unlikely to get blown to bits
00:46:54.700
there's not a zero possibility of that happening
00:47:52.440
Do you get to have a meal with her or something?
00:47:57.100
It's not a candlelit dinner, one-on-one, but...
00:48:04.200
I mean, quite literally, not necessarily for sex.
0.84
00:48:08.940
Literally, figuratively whoring herself out for money.
1.00
00:48:18.680
You know, anyone that's an actress, really.
0.88
00:48:20.140
which was utterly utterly utterly shameless you know
00:48:26.580
some rumors about the types of things she got up to or engaged in before she was even an actress
00:48:34.840
when she was even younger than that in the emirates i heard recently just rumors just rumors
0.98
00:48:40.580
I don't know, there's that disgusting piggy woman
1.00
00:48:45.160
Miss Piggy, alright, what else did we have
0.99
00:48:50.180
no, we're getting down, getting fully down into the slop there
00:48:53.940
let's have a quick look at the express, oh it's nearly 10-2
00:49:01.740
as they look to land, okay, so, do you remember, I think
00:49:05.260
at the weekend, I think it was Saturday or Sunday, last weekend
00:49:13.960
For attacking our neighbours and we won't do it anymore
00:49:38.340
I mean, not that the State Department or net his government aren't capable of completely lying or anything, but you can't really trust what the Iranians say.
0.99
00:49:50.560
That's why when you get all these leftists, all these people suffering from TDS, all these people that hate America or whatever, and they're saying, oh, Mr. Trump's like some crazy tyrant, psycho, like mad dog, because they were right in the middle of negotiations.
0.95
00:50:05.860
Iran was right in the middle of negotiations
0.98
00:50:13.120
just attacked them in the middle of negotiations
00:50:57.900
Tell that to the ex-Iatoller and his mullahs
1.00
00:51:41.580
What was the depths of Epstein's depravity, really, Mandy?
00:52:01.420
we're done with Nathaniel Rothstein. Rothstein? Rothschild. I'm thinking of Ace Rothstein
00:52:11.280
from the film Casino. Nathaniel Rothschild for Fifth Baron Rothschild. What did Ehud
00:52:18.980
Barak order Epstein to do or not do? Mandy. Hmm? We'll take those secrets to your grave,
00:52:30.520
i'm sure if you ever ask those sorts of questions in the dock he'll just say you don't recall you
00:52:36.760
have no idea he had nothing to do that never heard anything about that won't he all right
00:52:44.540
repairing the special relationship to be honest the special relationship is bigger than any
00:52:50.500
individual president or prime minister they'll both be gone before long right
00:52:53.440
trump will only be there for another three years tops starmer may well be gone in like six weeks
00:53:00.320
time so there'll still be a special relationship even after they're both gone oh there is an
00:53:08.080
interesting story make of this whether whether you think this is real there's something to it
00:53:12.500
or whether it's utter a bunkum utter poppycock the fbi are saying that they have got information
00:53:20.260
that iran was going to try and drone bomb california on the west coast of america they
00:53:28.800
had some sort of secret ship some ship and it would have had loads of those or a few of those
00:53:34.080
big three three and a half meter long delta wing drones they're going to sail it well all the way
00:53:40.860
across the indian ocean down south through southeast asia all the way across the pacific
00:53:44.940
to the west coast of america and then launch some drones at what like what the golden gate bridge
00:53:50.280
downtown la i don't know san diego seattle i don't know that's what the fbi are saying
00:53:59.280
do you believe that i'm not sure i wouldn't put anything past the iranians but it does seem
00:54:07.340
far-fetched it does seem like just american propaganda but might not be i mean who knows
00:54:14.860
these days who knows who knows i'll put that one at 50 50 maybe a bit less than 50 50 in iran's
00:54:21.660
favor that feels quite far-fetched but you know but who knows might not be might not be
00:54:29.820
they must have known that if they did do that the ship it would be a suicide mission for that ship
00:54:37.520
at least at the pacific fleet or american warships out of out of san diego actually
00:55:13.140
exactly sort of where it is in the in the gulf it's right on the top it's right up near kuwait
00:55:18.820
so picture yeah look okay so here's like here's her here's iran yeah here's the straits straits
00:55:24.820
of hormuz and these are all the emirates dubai abu dhabi this biggest one's abu dhabi there's
00:55:31.540
dubai and then the little with the other five qatar there bahrain uh this is kuwait there is
00:55:40.420
Iraq this is obviously Saudi Arabia there's a little bit of Iraq Kuwait all of Iran and there's
00:55:45.640
a little island there little island it's really small and it's like half the size of Manhattan
00:55:51.060
it's pretty small like a couple of square miles top something like that
00:55:55.240
and nine-tenths of all Iranian oil is sort of processed and shipped out or not processed but
00:56:03.560
shipped out from there one island so if it was blown to smithereens or rather if the united
00:56:12.280
states or israel decided to occupy it to take it you know actually send marines ashore to take it
00:56:21.640
frogmen seals whatever paratroopers drop the 82nd airborne in there let's get the 101st going lads
00:56:30.040
i don't know whatever um or just completely bomb it flat one way or the other carpet bomb it
00:56:37.680
that just ruins that would ruin all of iran's ability to make any money
00:56:43.300
out of oil so like it's as far as iran's concerned and create crazily sort of strategically important
00:56:52.520
and at this point with iran's air force are basically gone and their navy very close to
00:57:09.620
it made me... I mean this article is just saying that
00:57:23.520
there's a giant banner that said mission accomplished
00:57:57.360
you could attempt to claim that all right well interesting you know keep your eye on that this
00:58:03.180
carg island carg carg island will be um you'll probably hear more about that in the future going
00:58:09.300
forward all right it's very very nearly top of the hour should do a quick five minutes of uh on
00:58:15.340
this day in history what happened on this day in history the 12th of march down through the
00:58:18.900
centuries okay on this day in the year 538 A.D. Vitigis king of the Ostrogoths
00:58:27.360
ends his siege of Rome and retreats to Ravenna leaving the city in the hands of
00:58:38.520
talks about Belisarius somehow came up a week or two ago didn't he
00:58:53.680
long form bits of content all about the career of Belisarius
00:58:57.860
certainly at least three parts if not four all about Belisarius Justinian I
00:59:06.140
emperor justinian first sent his generalissimo his general of generals belazarus to go and reconquer
00:59:12.540
the western roman empire retake rome rome itself had fallen to various barbarians beginning with
00:59:19.260
aleric but the eastern roman empire the bizantan roman empire out of constantinople
00:59:26.140
all up out of constantinople it hadn't been ever taken by foreign non-christian barbarians
0.65
00:59:33.500
So he sent Belisarius to re-conquer the best, which he did, briefly.
00:59:39.820
The life and career of Belisarius, absolutely brilliant,
00:59:45.640
A few hours, quite a few hours, hours of me and Carl talking about it.
00:59:53.420
I've got a completely other bit of content talking all about Justinian.
01:00:01.040
Okay, on this day, in 1455, first record of Johannes Gutenberg's Bible, the Gutenberg Bible.
01:00:10.680
A letter dated this day by Ennio Silvio Piccolomini refers to the Bible printed a year earlier.
01:00:21.740
Yeah, we've talked before, haven't I, a little bit about the Gutenberg printing press.
01:00:28.400
They changed the world in loads and loads of different ways.
01:00:31.040
The printing press ultimately caused an explosion in literacy
01:00:41.540
A massive thing, just a giant turning point in all of human history
01:01:52.820
them merely monarchists but anyway they would lead armies into russia and fight in a russian
01:01:59.920
civil war against the reds against the bolsheviks which did happen so i mean st petersburg never
01:02:06.400
fell to sort of like american or british french armies or anything but yeah what then it wasn't
01:02:13.260
in the bolsheviks weren't utterly utterly paranoid to think that that was happening that that was
01:02:18.760
going on. It was going on. Shame it wasn't successful, really. If I could tweak history
01:02:25.820
here or there, that's one of the things I may well tweak. Just a few more divisions
01:02:29.880
to help the whites in the Russian Civil War to defeat Trotsky's Red Army in like 1920
01:02:38.640
or something. That would have flipped all of history, surely for the better, probably
01:02:48.760
something else would have happened though wouldn't it it's like the idea you can go back in time
0.94
01:02:53.400
and you go and kill hitler when he's a baby or a little boy so hopefully world war ii and the
0.87
01:02:58.360
holocaust or whatever doesn't happen come back to the future it was just goebbels did it instead
0.99
01:03:02.960
goebbels was the leader of national socialism instead he might have been even more successful
01:03:08.660
that's the classic thing i think there's a book it was even a steven fry book time traveler goes
01:03:14.740
back, poisons the well where Hitler's mum was living to make her infertile, so Hitler's never
0.95
01:03:21.620
born. Come back to the future, come back to the present. Something even worse happened.
01:03:29.560
There was still a World War II, and it was even worse somehow.
01:03:39.100
On this day in 1930, Mahatma Gandhi begins his famous, isn't there all that famous, 200-mile
01:04:06.580
in fact he would say he would sleep with one of his nieces
0.97
01:04:12.680
his impulses and he wouldn't molest her that's weird i'm gonna sleep with a little girl but not
1.00
01:04:24.320
molest her as proof that i don't molest kids what what are you talking about you crazy old man
1.00
01:04:34.140
crazy freak backward backward idiot we don't need industry everyone in india will just have a
1.00
01:04:41.240
spinning wheel. Newspapers and trains are bad. Just work in the fields and have a spinning
1.00
01:04:48.860
wheel. Backward idiot. Mahatma Gandhi. He's some sort of genius. No he wasn't. No he
1.00
01:04:56.020
wasn't. We'll have pacifism to the point where he said Britain should just let Nazis
0.92
01:05:03.380
invade England. And when they enter your houses and things, just pour moral scorn on them
01:05:10.460
But let them do whatever they want to you though
01:05:21.400
The Church of England ordains its first 32 female priests
01:05:29.420
Yeah, how'd that work out for you, Church of England?
01:05:37.420
the anglican church a joke okay let's have a look at the rumble rants and super chats we've got
01:05:45.360
a fair few we'll get to them as quickly as possible if we can if we don't have one this
01:05:50.120
morning well not as quickly as possible i'll make some comment all right let's start with
01:05:54.860
the rumble rants kalergi says the trump administration doesn't even know what a
01:05:58.400
war won against iran looks like they'll need bb to tell them yeah
01:06:41.420
and there was a bit of a backwards and forwards
01:08:26.140
Kembo compete with the hot takes like these
0.94
01:08:29.000
I'm seeing a breakfast with Beth Rigby on the horizon
01:08:50.240
I don't mind coffee, I don't usually drink coffee
01:09:05.280
Sometimes a silly amount, like ten cups in a day
01:09:21.260
some postulated a geomagnetic excursion field reduction could leave us like Mars in the coming
01:09:28.140
decades bit out there I know I don't know much about a reduction because I think it's reliant
01:09:33.040
on like the iron core which isn't really going anywhere so I don't know about reduction I mean
01:09:37.500
if we did suddenly lose our magnetic field then yeah it would be a mass extinction event wouldn't
01:09:41.780
it it would be irradiated quite quickly that's the problem with Mars it's not just that it's cold
01:09:48.840
It's not just as much further away from the sun
01:10:20.260
again I haven't really got time to go into it all
01:10:39.780
and it moves around, it wobbles around all over the place
01:10:45.300
like that and we know in the distant past it's just suddenly flipped suddenly what we call the
01:10:53.280
north pole and the south pole it will flip and some people say scientists say that we're due one
01:10:59.740
of those like it happens every i can't remember the numbers but it happens every few hundred
01:11:03.560
thousand years is it or a few million years or something anyway looks like we're due another one
01:11:08.880
sometime that would send the world into some sort of chaos it might do anyway i think it would
01:11:42.300
they use the cardboard cutout for his inauguration
01:12:03.980
I've seen a couple of reports that he was wounded
01:12:11.160
they're going to need to sort of trot him out in front of a camera to show that he's not dead
01:12:19.560
so yeah i mean it's a fair point you're saying i haven't seen him haven't tried him out in the
01:12:25.880
last two or three days have they you would have thought after like somehow they would
01:12:30.600
at least like an underground bit of footage like osama bin laden style but no we've never had
01:12:36.760
anything, have we? Busty Brian again says, no, it wasn't Nate Boe. Oh, oh, sorry. The debate on
01:12:46.040
Wooten was streamed like yesterday. Oh, oh, there's another one then. A restored person
01:12:50.540
pwned a reformed person again on Dan Wooten. Good old Dan Wooten. Dan Wooten's based. He's quite
01:13:00.640
based. I think even a bit more than he lets on, I think. I don't speak for him.
01:13:36.460
that no yeah i want my country back i don't want to be demographically replaced in my one and only
0.92
01:13:40.360
ancestral homeland become a hated and marginalized minority and ultimately replaced and genocided
01:13:46.280
ultimately in my own ancestral homeland no i don't want that whatever argument you're making against
01:13:50.560
that it's not a difficult argument you know if you just stick to your guns
01:13:55.520
now i'm not interested in managed decline with more and more endless people coming in
01:14:02.060
what nigel said that mass deportations are impossible no they're not
1.00
01:14:11.360
Just take someone who isn't a containment project
01:15:04.160
The general trend is always to cool down more and more
01:15:06.780
Why would the crust necessarily expand massively
01:15:10.240
I don't know, that's a whole different discussion
01:15:12.680
We have a whole different thing, we haven't got time for that this morning
01:15:16.100
The YouTube super chats, Harry, can you bring that on the
01:15:28.680
Global church history, always seems to be first in
1.00
01:15:32.340
you say yesterday i started writing a book about the battle of mbore i remember yesterday you
01:15:37.780
mentioned that in the 1640s was it the jesuits um as there's little in english yeah i'd never
01:15:44.600
heard of it i must say never heard of it over 70 pages in already hopefully on kindle soon
01:15:51.240
oh well cool i'd never heard of it maybe after this i'll go and just quickly google it and
01:15:56.260
don't know anything about it interesting okay our rob or ross says starmer will cling on until
01:16:06.200
the may elections because no one else wants the job before then yeah right yeah yeah that's a
01:16:09.820
good point yeah that's almost certainly what's going on is it there's no point cooing him if
01:16:13.500
you're wedge streeting or whoever or whoever you're and you're angela the fridge rainer
01:16:53.980
Mandy and Starmer probably shared some rent boys
01:17:30.140
These West puppets have no concept of honour
1.00
01:17:41.840
They just won't, yeah, completely shameless
0.89
01:18:25.540
And then it just turned into a real full blown attack
01:18:32.860
It wasn't his fault, he didn't know, no one knew
01:18:35.060
None of the analysts were saying, watch out, it might happen
01:18:37.640
It might happen, no, no, we were taken by surprise
01:18:43.680
Because that was considered the right thing to do
01:18:48.720
someone like justin trudeau or macron or whatever or starmer it doesn't matter how many scandals
01:18:58.740
there are how bad or deep they are how embarrassing it is no just hold on
01:19:02.880
my masters at the wef or wherever have told me not to i'm their hand-picked puppet in it right
01:19:13.100
now and i haven't got the green light to resign yet or like that ardern woman in new zealand
0.96
