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

00:01:47.760 are Iran as you can imagine 0.82

00:01:49.120 alright here we go

00:01:51.120 here we go

00:01:53.200 Starmer did ignore Epstein

00:01:55.800 warnings

00:01:56.300 and record oil

00:01:59.640 release

00:02:00.160 that is from sort of strategic

00:02:03.460 national reserves of oil

00:02:04.840 alright the independent

00:02:08.560 here we go Mandy

00:02:11.100 oh gosh

00:02:13.480 Are you ready for a Mandy day?

00:02:16.720 I hope you're ready for a Mandy day.

00:02:21.600 Here we go again.

00:02:25.480 I remember all my life.

00:02:32.040 Oh, Mandy. Oh, Mandy. Oh, boy.

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

00:02:43.720 Yes, it's increasingly more likely

00:02:45.200 That was some sort of US missile

00:02:47.860 That blew up all those children

00:02:50.120 A mistake

00:02:54.580 They thought it was a military target

00:02:56.040 And it just wasn't

00:02:57.460 That's war 0.68

00:02:58.940 Mandelson papers

00:03:02.520 So yesterday, I mentioned it yesterday

00:03:04.340 I didn't know if he was watching the Bo show yesterday

00:03:05.740 Breakfast with Bo

00:03:06.580 He talks about how that day, yesterday

00:03:10.080 after PM's queues

00:03:11.840 so he wouldn't have to answer any questions

00:03:13.740 this week

00:03:14.780 live in Parliament

00:03:17.520 a load of

00:03:19.480 papers were going to be released

00:03:21.860 all about Madison

00:03:22.480 mainly or I think exclusively

00:03:25.000 the internal parliamentary

00:03:27.320 number 10 cabinet office papers

00:03:29.780 not the police investigation

00:03:31.960 so there's a reason why

00:03:33.740 it isn't a full hangout

00:03:35.780 at this point, why we haven't got all the documents

00:03:37.560 about everything related to Mandy

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

00:06:58.960 in, quote, weirdly rushed, quote, process.

00:07:03.100 And that disgraced Labour guru, Mandy, 1.00

00:07:05.580 demanded 500 grand, half a million pounds.

00:07:09.220 It was more, actually.

00:07:09.780 It was more like nearly 550 grand payout after sacking.

00:07:14.780 Right, so there's a guy, Jonathan Powell.

00:07:17.500 If anyone knows politics, old enough,

00:07:18.940 knows British politics a bit,

00:07:21.000 you'll remember the name Jonathan Powell.

00:07:22.340 Jonathan Powell goes way back to the very beginning of

00:07:25.160 New Labour

00:07:26.880 He was in Tony Blair's

00:07:28.680 Administrations

00:07:31.000 He's been around since day one

00:07:32.960 Jonathan Powell

00:07:34.060 He's got a big

00:07:36.940 Like he's got a big fro type haircut

00:07:39.060 A white guy

00:07:39.520 Grey hair

00:07:40.280 But it's like a fro type 1.00

00:07:41.180 Anyway 0.99

00:07:41.480 He's a total lefty douchebag 0.98

00:07:44.500 Kind of hate Jonathan Powell 0.94

00:07:45.680 He's actually not as bad as a lot of them

00:07:47.360 But still

00:07:48.560 Classic

00:07:49.940 He's just an arch arch Blairite

00:07:51.900 New Labour

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.

00:07:58.100 Jonathan Powell.

00:07:59.680 Okay.

00:08:01.140 I think he was Blair's chief of staff at Number 10

00:08:03.340 for quite a while, was he?

00:08:04.700 He's been all sorts of things over the years,

00:08:06.180 all sorts of things.

00:08:07.740 Well, he's still in and around the orbit.

00:08:10.580 I mean, very much so.

00:08:11.600 He was Starmer's, some sort of very, very close advisor,

00:08:15.780 I think at the Foreign Office.

00:08:17.220 I can't even remember exactly.

00:08:18.700 It's Jonathan Powell that said, that quote,

00:08:21.860 that it was that Mandy posed a reputational risk.

00:08:27.520 I think that was Jonathan Powell.

00:08:28.740 It was certainly Jonathan Powell that said

00:08:30.000 that the process of Mandy getting access to sensitive information

00:08:34.840 and getting clearance, effectively, clearance,

00:08:38.880 was quite weirdly rushed.

00:08:48.040 Weirdly rushed, OK.

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

00:10:47.500 Mental

00:10:50.080 Mental piece of

00:10:52.520 Work

00:10:54.120 He received

00:10:56.960 He didn't get his 550 grand

00:10:58.520 He did receive

00:11:00.260 75,000 pounds

00:11:01.660 Which top civil servants

00:11:05.020 Judged good value for money

00:11:06.720 There's a bit we might see later

00:11:08.420 Like some sort of internal memo

00:11:10.700 Email or whatever to each other

00:11:11.900 Saying oh we managed to get away

00:11:14.960 With not giving Mandy 550 grand

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

00:11:45.860 massive severance

00:11:46.620 because they set the rules

00:11:48.800 they make the rules

00:11:49.520 so they made those

00:11:52.120 those types of rules

00:11:53.420 to benefit themselves

00:11:54.540 you know

00:11:59.040 like how gangsters operate

00:12:00.900 someone was warned

00:12:06.200 over Mandelson's

00:12:07.140 relationship with Epstein

00:12:08.080 before the PM

00:12:09.120 appointed him

00:12:09.920 Washington ambassador

00:12:10.880 ex-business secretary

00:12:12.420 was arrested

00:12:13.280 and Mandy

00:12:13.760 was arrested

00:12:14.800 last month

00:12:15.760 on suspicion of leaking sensitive information

00:12:18.080 he denies any wrongdoing

00:12:19.260 Labour fears drip drip of future claims

00:12:22.760 yeah the future

00:12:25.460 what might happen in the future

00:12:26.760 what other things will come out

00:12:27.980 about Mandy

00:12:30.640 and Andy

00:12:31.540 and anyone else involved in it

00:12:33.780 like Ehud Barak

00:12:40.200 or Larry Summers

00:12:42.900 or Leslie Wexner

00:12:45.460 or Sergei Brin

00:12:47.900 or Mohammed bin Salman

00:12:50.500 or Donald Trump

00:12:54.520 The Guardian

00:12:56.460 The Guardian

00:12:58.140 Too early in the morning for such filth

00:13:01.200 PM was told of reputational risk over Manson links to Epstein

00:13:05.240 Let's move on, let's move on

00:13:06.140 Oh look, a little bit about Iran

00:13:07.800 Iran ramps up war of attrition 0.79

00:13:11.100 with attacks on commercial ships

00:13:13.120 So yeah, Iran are attacking more and more 1.00

00:13:16.000 We should talk about Iran for a little bit, five minutes

00:13:17.500 They are attacking more and more oil tankers

00:13:21.420 And shipping in the Straits of Hormuz

00:13:23.300 Or either side of the Straits of Hormuz actually

00:13:25.080 I think two or three were hit yesterday

00:13:28.100 And the total so far is something in the ballpark of 15 or 16

00:13:32.020 Oil tankers getting hit

00:13:34.000 That's enough really for like lawyers of London

00:13:36.800 Or all sorts of shipping, insurance companies

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

00:15:24.040 the Daily Express it's a good paper

00:15:28.340 Starmer under pressure as far as revealed

00:15:31.760 disgraced Lord was weirdly rushed

00:15:33.840 into US Post. PM was warned

00:15:35.900 on reputational risk

00:15:37.720 of hiring Madison

00:15:38.740 PM's demand the former ambassador

00:15:41.460 returns his 75 grand severance pay

00:15:43.500 from the treasury

00:15:44.120 the sun

00:15:48.320 talking about Cheltenham Steel

00:15:49.920 you get a free £5 bet

00:15:51.260 warning over Epstein

00:15:55.900 ignored

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,

00:16:31.660 anyway, one of the many Epstein properties.

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

00:16:49.680 It's interesting to me.

00:16:52.060 One of Mandelson's, no, sorry, one of Epstein's many properties

00:16:55.720 was a sprawling ranch in New Mexico.

00:17:00.420 Seven, seven and a half thousand acre ranch in New Mexico.

00:17:06.160 They called it the Zorro Ranch.

00:17:08.480 It's since been sold on and it's called something else now.

00:17:11.900 Had it for many a year.

00:17:13.400 Some say

00:17:16.280 Some say

00:17:18.560 That the darkest stuff

00:17:20.800 That went down

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

00:17:29.880 There may well have been sex crime

00:17:33.340 And human trafficking and prostitution

00:17:34.720 And all sorts of things

00:17:35.560 Even paedophilia on that island

00:17:37.280 But not necessarily the darkest stuff

00:17:40.920 torture

00:17:42.620 murder

00:17:43.920 human

00:17:44.760 experimentations

00:17:45.900 if

00:17:46.580 any of that

00:17:48.180 sort of thing

00:17:48.660 went down

00:17:49.260 it may well

00:17:51.120 have been on

00:17:51.500 the Sorrow Ranch

00:17:52.180 in New Mexico

00:17:52.800 about two days

00:17:55.060 ago I believe

00:17:55.420 it was about

00:17:55.720 two days ago

00:17:56.280 the police

00:17:57.500 just the normal

00:17:58.280 New Mexico

00:17:58.860 police

00:17:59.400 and raided

00:18:01.180 that property

00:18:01.880 of course

00:18:02.940 remember

00:18:03.260 years after

00:18:04.360 Epstein lived

00:18:05.680 there

00:18:05.920 to go and

00:18:07.300 look for

00:18:07.660 bodies

00:18:08.140 they think they've got specific information

00:18:13.000 about specific murders and bodies

00:18:15.900 that are buried on that ranch somewhere

00:18:17.520 so it's a bit more than just getting a massage

00:18:25.340 off a 17 year old

00:18:26.620 a bit more than that

00:18:31.600 it may well just stretch to murders

00:18:34.060 and the darkest of the dark insinuations

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

00:19:36.120 in espionage

00:19:37.320 by Ehud Barak

00:19:38.720 and the Israeli

00:19:39.200 Intelligence Services

00:19:40.100 but also

00:19:40.880 acts as a fixer

00:19:42.160 for Mohammed

00:19:43.200 bin Salman

00:19:44.080 and

00:19:46.580 and

00:19:47.480 has honey

00:19:48.120 trapped

00:19:48.540 vast swathes

00:19:50.420 of the world's

00:19:50.940 most rich

00:19:51.300 and famous people

00:19:52.060 in like

00:19:52.920 into

00:19:53.760 being compromised

00:19:55.340 for

00:19:55.580 compromise

00:19:56.180 on sex crime

00:19:57.000 stuff

00:19:57.360 if you said

00:20:00.040 that to people

00:20:00.580 before

00:20:01.260 all the Epstein

00:20:02.200 stuff broke

00:20:02.800 and everyone

00:20:03.080 knew about it

00:20:03.540 in real detail

00:20:04.220 people would have said

00:20:07.040 that's crazy, that's obviously a conspiracy theory

00:20:09.380 that's nonsense, that's not real, come on

00:20:11.180 that's not really how the world works

00:20:13.080 that's like something out of

00:20:14.880 an Ian Fleming novel, some arch

00:20:17.180 criminal, Blofeld

00:20:19.320 or something, they're not really real

00:20:20.940 the world's not like that, well it is

00:20:22.980 it is, it is

00:20:24.500 we know it is now, for sure

00:20:26.440 so could it, could it

00:20:29.040 go way deeper, way darker

00:20:31.120 so

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

00:21:04.840 are searching for bodies on that ranch so

00:21:06.880 there you have it all right what have we got here on on uh in the sun

00:21:20.920 Keir knew Mandy was risked

00:21:24.040 Yeah he knew

00:21:24.780 He was told

00:21:26.240 I did a bit of a long aside there didn't I

00:21:29.200 He knew that he was living in Epstein's apartment

00:21:31.820 Or one of his homes

00:21:33.160 He knew he was told

00:21:35.320 That they were very close friends

00:21:37.540 Like very close

00:21:38.580 Really close

00:21:39.340 Like you know

00:21:42.560 Mandy would go on holiday

00:21:44.560 With Epstein

00:21:45.980 And Joel Jogsborne

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,

00:23:26.920 Stop it

00:23:27.420 Just

00:23:27.760 Really

00:23:29.200 The Metro

00:23:32.420 Sacked in scandal

00:23:33.840 But Mandelson wanted

00:23:35.340 500k to walk away

00:23:37.840 Files reveal

00:23:40.100 Official won praise

00:23:41.720 Some civil servant

00:23:43.100 Won praise

00:23:44.220 For reaching

00:23:44.860 75,000 pound

00:23:45.900 Compromise

00:23:46.520 A guy called Mark

00:23:47.440 After Epstein

00:23:49.860 Revelations

00:23:50.880 Look here's a little

00:23:51.580 Leaked blurb

00:23:52.960 From civil servants

00:23:54.180 To each other

00:23:54.700 Just saying

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

00:24:25.240 a soiled wrongun

00:24:26.840 why would you give him this role

00:24:31.380 in that role of being

00:24:33.220 an ambassador to the US

00:24:34.380 it should

00:24:37.480 go to someone who has

00:24:39.220 been a diplomat their whole career

00:24:40.860 someone that's been an ambassador to other places

00:24:43.220 work their way up through the

00:24:44.540 diplomatic corps

00:24:46.280 because it's the most prestigious one

00:24:49.220 it's the most prestigious one

00:24:51.120 it would usually go to someone that's been

00:24:53.180 in the foreign office

00:24:54.120 since they were 22, since they were 21,

00:24:57.560 since they left university.

00:24:59.960 They get like a double first at Cambridge or something.

00:25:03.420 You know, never have a real job,

00:25:04.460 but then go straight into the FCO

00:25:05.980 and be like just working in an embassy for a few years

00:25:10.900 till you're in your 30s, maybe 40s.

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

00:27:29.320 sickies old front door and car

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

00:27:54.380 £547,000

00:27:56.100 for sacking

00:27:57.140 says Madison

00:27:58.240 golden man

00:28:00.980 shake

00:28:01.520 the mirror

00:28:08.420 very very similar

00:28:09.480 front page

00:28:09.900 look

00:28:10.100 there's the star

00:28:11.040 some of the worst

00:28:12.440 slop 0.93

00:28:12.640 famous for being 1.00

00:28:13.420 stupid and sloppy 1.00

00:28:14.380 the star 1.00

00:28:15.320 very very very

00:28:16.640 similar front page

00:28:17.660 with the mirror

00:28:18.640 because the mirror

00:28:19.300 is also

00:28:20.160 utter slop

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

00:28:48.680 Along those lines

00:28:51.500 That wasn't necessarily the mirror

00:28:52.600 But things like that

00:28:54.280 Things that are truly out of order

00:28:56.200 Like stalking people

00:28:57.700 Giving them no privacy 1.00

00:28:59.460 Just being complete filth and scum 1.00

00:29:01.820 Scum and villainy 1.00

00:29:04.380 The mirror 0.98

00:29:05.840 As well as their takes being completely lefty and globalist

00:29:09.100 The mirror

00:29:11.700 Epstein files fall out

00:29:13.960 Mandelson demanded half a million pound payoff

00:29:16.760 The mail

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

00:29:42.480 Patriotic or nativist in any way.

00:29:46.360 They're here to destroy our civil societies, what they do. 0.65

00:29:50.240 Kemi says the newly released Madison Files

00:29:53.000 reveals such appalling judgement by PM

00:29:55.160 that Labour MPs must oust him.

00:29:59.560 Not fit to lead the country.

00:30:02.260 Yeah, I mean...

00:30:04.160 Yeah.

00:30:06.400 Olukemi Badenoch, the Nigerian woman

00:30:08.480 who somehow leads the Conservative Party,

00:30:10.640 isn't necessarily wrong there

00:30:12.820 you know, credit where it's due

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

00:30:21.440 I wonder if this will topple Mandy 1.00

00:30:25.360 even before the May general election

00:30:27.920 the May local elections

00:30:29.660 not fit to lead the country

00:30:35.920 oh look, there's Kate Middleton's mum

00:30:39.380 at Cheltenham

00:30:40.680 laughing it up

00:30:42.680 ok

00:30:43.140 the Financial Times

00:30:44.700 aid warned

00:30:45.940 Jonathan Powell

00:30:46.700 aid warned

00:30:47.480 Starmer of risk

00:30:48.660 in Mandelson's appointment

00:30:49.680 alright

00:30:50.080 and a tanker

00:30:51.660 a tanker in

00:30:52.900 in the Persian Gulf

00:30:56.740 Tyre one

00:30:57.280 Tyre one

00:30:57.960 alright

00:31:01.700 the Times

00:31:03.040 that Tyre

00:31:04.020 tanker on

00:31:04.880 fire again

00:31:05.640 PM flouted

00:31:07.760 Mandelson warnings

00:31:08.680 That's how the Venerable Times characterise it

00:31:11.640 The PM flouted the warnings

00:31:13.780 Aid, an outgoing ambassador, raised concerns

00:31:17.160 Files show

00:31:19.120 Memo told Starmer personal links left him more exposed

00:31:23.280 Okay

00:31:25.100 The Telegraph

00:31:26.800 There's Kate Middleton's mum again

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

00:31:37.160 Princess Anne, the Princess Royal

00:31:38.300 the Queen's sister

00:31:41.000 she's got to be knocking 100 0.96

00:31:43.060 hasn't she

00:31:43.520 anyway

00:31:45.460 there's Carol Middleton

00:31:49.380 Kate Middleton's mum

00:31:50.800 found something

00:31:53.540 hilarious there

00:31:54.320 Starmer ignored top aides over Manderson

00:31:57.360 alright we get it that's the story

00:31:59.220 that's the story today

00:32:00.040 shall we have a look at our poll

00:32:02.860 they're the front pages let's have a quick look at our poll

00:32:04.720 one second Harry just let me have the mouse

00:32:07.280 and then we'll look at the poll

00:32:09.020 okay go engage

00:32:10.500 give me the poll

00:32:12.060 what have we got

00:32:12.840 make it so

00:32:14.240 okay there it is

00:32:15.040 we asked

00:32:16.340 oh yeah we asked

00:32:17.680 will the Mandelson affair topple Starmer

00:32:19.480 and you could have answered yes no or maybe

00:32:23.720 yes 18%

00:32:25.720 no 56%

00:32:27.160 and maybe 26%

00:32:29.260 yeah I think if I was taking it

00:32:32.000 I would have either clicked no or maybe

00:32:33.840 I would have either clicked no or maybe

00:32:36.620 maybe probably maybe might have clicked no

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

00:33:30.720 bit because 30% chance that he does

00:33:32.680 stay that's not nothing is it

00:33:34.520 30% but

00:33:35.560 I'd say the odds are

00:33:37.940 in my mind this is my prediction

00:33:40.240 over 50%

00:33:41.360 by the end of May he won't be

00:33:44.620 Prime Minister sort of thing

00:33:45.560 we'll see

00:33:48.300 I think he may well survive

00:33:50.260 this Mandelson for

00:33:52.560 Rory it just weakens him

00:33:54.660 more and more and more

00:33:55.500 it erodes his position more and more and more doesn't it until

00:33:58.620 for that May

00:34:00.140 Thing

00:34:00.900 He's like

00:34:02.400 Literally hanging by a thread

00:34:04.460 Hanging by a single piece of

00:34:07.220 Floss

00:34:10.300 Alright

00:34:12.820 Oil prices reach

00:34:13.800 $100 per barrel

00:34:16.080 Again as new attacks

00:34:17.300 Reported on three cargo ships

00:34:19.200 In the Gulf

00:34:19.540 Yeah so three ships

00:34:20.500 In the last 24 hours or so

00:34:22.040 You know the $100 a barrel thing

00:34:25.100 Still going on about it

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

00:36:35.160 wouldn't you to buy that

00:36:36.120 but some people

00:36:36.800 some girls

00:36:37.440 women do 1.00

00:36:39.080 don't

00:36:40.580 If you want to do modelling

00:36:48.000 Not the other way round

00:36:48.880 In a mall

00:36:49.520 On a street corner

00:36:50.560 PM warned of reputation

00:36:54.040 We have a man

00:36:54.520 See, okay, we got that one

00:36:55.440 There may be no knockout blow

00:36:57.700 From Mandelson Files

00:36:58.820 But it's far from over

00:36:59.800 Yeah, it certainly is

00:37:01.200 Look

00:37:03.120 It was the stuff of dreams

00:37:05.020 Lisa Tarbuck leaves Radio 2

00:37:07.440 God, I don't care

00:37:08.440 Lisa Tarbuck

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.

00:41:16.740 ITV News doesn't usually.

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,

00:41:36.240 the rapier-like wit of Beth Rigby,

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

00:41:55.800 you can see why she makes the big bucks right

00:41:59.720 You can see why she's Sky News' number one mind

00:42:07.200 A political mastermind

00:42:10.400 She can see all the angles, Beth Rigby

00:42:12.340 This is really bad for Keir Starmer

00:42:16.540 Oh, thanks, Beth

00:42:17.240 Cheers, Beth

00:42:19.560 Wow, what insight

00:42:22.380 Beth Rigby

00:42:26.340 Where did she come from really

00:42:29.340 Beth Rigby

00:42:29.940 Do you remember a world where Beth Rigby wasn't really a thing

00:42:33.760 No one ever heard of Beth Rigby

00:42:35.860 And then suddenly

00:42:36.920 Sky tells you

00:42:38.800 Beth Rigby

00:42:41.140 Sorry Beth

00:42:42.360 Yeah Beth Rigby

00:42:45.000 Yeah that she

00:42:47.080 Has got all the answers

00:42:48.200 She can tell you why and how the world goes round

00:42:51.340 What's really going on

00:42:52.940 She'll be the arbiter of

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

00:43:11.820 this is nice get a load of this pig 1.00

00:43:14.780 I love this revolting little piggy 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

00:43:37.120 Psycho 0.67

00:43:41.880 Don't you remember the Queen though

00:43:43.240 Camilla yesterday saying

00:43:44.300 Always believe victims

00:43:46.080 We should always

00:43:49.800 Always believe victims

00:43:51.280 No

00:43:52.680 No I don't though

00:43:54.500 Because they might be lying

00:43:56.500 Complete

00:43:59.080 Complete simply for real victims

00:44:01.300 Like that Labour MP

00:44:04.520 of course complete sympathy for real victims

00:44:08.380 if they're shown to be a real victim

00:44:11.000 just because you accused someone of something

00:44:14.300 just because you said you're a victim

00:44:16.340 they won't necessarily blindly believe that

00:44:19.160 so she got

00:44:22.660 she accused 10 different men

00:44:25.920 she's found to be lying about them all

00:44:29.860 She cost the state

00:44:33.140 Like over 120 grand

00:44:35.040 And she was given four and a half years in jail

00:44:39.580 So she'll probably be out in two 0.85

00:44:41.600 Or so

00:44:42.380 That's what you get

00:44:44.040 You can accuse ten different people of rape

00:44:45.960 Falsely

00:44:46.660 And get two years in prison

00:44:47.960 I'd put her in a straitjacket 0.61

00:44:53.080 I'd put her in a straitjacket and a padded ring 0.99

00:44:55.440 For the rest of her life

00:44:56.340 Mental

00:44:58.160 That's mental 0.99

00:44:59.300 That's a sociopath 1.00

00:45:00.900 That's a psychopath 0.99

00:45:01.600 What's that about Roman Abramovich? 0.95

00:45:07.220 This is new

00:45:07.680 I'm reading this for the real time

00:45:08.540 Frozen proceeds of Abramovich

00:45:10.400 The Chelsea FC cell

00:45:11.700 Investigated in Jersey

00:45:13.260 Oh, okay

00:45:13.780 Might read more about that

00:45:16.520 In my own time later today

00:45:17.600 Roman Abramovich

00:45:20.120 Alright

00:45:20.380 The mail

00:45:22.100 The mail online

00:45:22.720 What have we got here?

00:45:24.960 Oh yeah, remember Andrew Tate

00:45:25.900 Saying nothing's happening in Dubai?

00:45:27.360 It is

00:45:27.780 Loads of things

00:45:28.460 It's getting blown up all over the place

00:45:30.220 Well not all over the place

00:45:31.220 Again it's not

00:45:32.640 It's not like London 1940

00:45:35.840 The Blitz

00:45:37.920 Is it but still

00:45:38.840 Reality of the iron fist behind Dubai paradise

00:45:42.420 I.e. the leader of the emirate

00:45:45.280 How influences are cowed

00:45:49.900 By fear

00:45:51.100 Into denying reality of Iran drone attacks

00:45:55.540 One man who was thrown into a hellhole jail

00:45:58.460 Speaks out

00:45:59.660 I mean was Andrew Tate coerced

00:46:04.320 One way or another

00:46:07.380 Into saying everything was fine

00:46:10.740 On that first day

00:46:11.500 Did he actually have any

00:46:13.800 Connection to the authorities

00:46:16.600 In Dubai one way or another

00:46:18.020 Paid one way or another

00:46:20.560 I'm only speculating

00:46:21.720 I'm only speculating

00:46:23.600 To say everything's alright

00:46:26.460 Because they rely on tourism

00:46:29.300 Don't they massively

00:46:30.000 Well it's not

00:46:32.300 There's all sorts of various drones

00:46:34.020 Hitting in Dubai

00:46:36.080 Well don't go to Dubai right now

00:46:41.520 If you had a holiday planned

00:46:43.080 Don't go there

00:46:45.400 I would say

00:46:46.080 You'll probably be fine

00:46:47.860 Statistically you're unlikely to get blown to bits

00:46:50.880 By an Iranian drone

00:46:51.860 but you might

00:46:54.700 there's not a zero possibility of that happening

00:46:58.300 so

00:46:58.640 if I had a holiday plan to Dubai

00:47:02.080 I wouldn't go

00:47:03.140 if I had one plan to Cyprus

00:47:05.040 I probably would

00:47:05.760 there you go

00:47:07.160 that's my

00:47:08.000 that's my risk analysis

00:47:10.360 risk management

00:47:13.380 okay to go to Cyprus

00:47:16.080 but not Dubai

00:47:16.860 definitely wouldn't go Lebanon right now

00:47:21.380 Okay, Starmer

00:47:23.900 Not fit to leave the country

00:47:25.480 Odukemi Badenoch says

00:47:27.180 Newly released Madison Files reveals

00:47:29.620 Such appalling judgement by PM

00:47:31.180 That Labour must oust him

00:47:32.520 Okay

00:47:33.780 If you want to meet

00:47:36.060 If you want to meet Meghan Markle

00:47:38.220 You can

00:47:41.320 It'll only cost you like £1,700

00:47:42.840 You can get a ticket

00:47:48.880 And go and sort of meet her

00:47:50.140 I don't know what you get for it.

00:47:52.440 Do you get to have a meal with her or something?

00:47:54.220 In a group, in a group, not one-on-one.

00:47:57.100 It's not a candlelit dinner, one-on-one, but...

00:48:00.660 You can, you can meet her, yeah.

00:48:01.660 I mean, she's just whoring herself out. 0.96

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

00:48:14.620 There you go. 0.97

00:48:17.020 Always was shameless.

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

00:48:57.420 Iran targets airport and commercial ships

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

00:49:08.340 The Iranian president came out and he said

00:49:10.500 I'd like to apologise for myself

00:49:12.640 And on behalf of all Iran

00:49:13.960 For attacking our neighbours and we won't do it anymore

00:49:16.340 As long as no Israeli or American 1.00

00:49:18.280 You know 0.98

00:49:20.340 Farshets, bombers

00:49:21.880 Missiles come from your territory

00:49:24.380 As long as they don't we'll stop attacking you

00:49:25.900 Yeah well that was a complete lie of course

00:49:28.280 Well maybe not of course but it was

00:49:30.160 They're still just doing it

00:49:31.760 So

00:49:33.240 That's Iran for you 1.00

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

00:50:08.280 and they were saying that

00:50:10.060 they were very, very close to making a deal

00:50:11.840 and Mr Trump out of nowhere

00:50:13.120 just attacked them in the middle of negotiations

00:50:14.940 those negotiations were a sham

00:50:16.680 and always have been

00:50:18.120 for a decade

00:50:18.720 always were

00:50:19.640 a complete sham

00:50:21.080 Iran will sit at a table 1.00

00:50:23.640 and say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

00:50:25.520 endlessly

00:50:26.200 yeah, yeah, we'll do that

00:50:27.340 we'll do that

00:50:27.820 yeah, give us a bit of paper

00:50:28.940 we'll sign it

00:50:29.500 like they did to Obama

00:50:30.520 yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

00:50:32.080 it's all lies

00:50:32.960 it was all lies 0.96

00:50:34.300 So you get some bleeding heart hippie 1.00

00:50:39.700 Some burnt out boomer hippie 0.90

00:50:41.660 Standing outside Aria Fairford

00:50:43.180 No more bombs

00:50:44.140 No more bombs

00:50:45.760 Iran was about to make a deal

00:50:47.520 Iran's peaceful

00:50:48.560 No it isn't

00:50:49.760 No it wasn't

00:50:50.520 It never was

00:50:51.240 There was never going to be that deal

00:50:52.680 Make peace not war

00:50:57.900 Tell that to the ex-Iatoller and his mullahs 1.00

00:51:01.260 Tell them to make peace not war

00:51:03.960 The son

00:51:07.580 Let's have a little bit of a look

00:51:08.880 The hubris of

00:51:16.000 Mandelson's downfall

00:51:17.720 Is genuinely amusing to me

00:51:21.660 Dodgy weirdo freak

00:51:28.240 What other stuff 0.96

00:51:30.220 Do you know about

00:51:31.420 All this stuff

00:51:34.940 How dark did it get, Mandy?

00:51:41.580 What was the depths of Epstein's depravity, really, Mandy?

00:51:52.500 What kind of behind-the-scenes deals?

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

00:54:43.480 would have

00:54:44.800 would have blown it to bits

00:54:46.920 well, fast jets

00:54:47.640 would have blown it to bits

00:54:48.400 almost immediately

00:54:49.500 wouldn't they?

00:54:53.640 this is a slightly interesting story

00:54:55.060 it's already 5-2

00:54:56.200 I'll make this the last story

00:54:57.080 before we have a look

00:54:57.680 on this day in history

00:54:58.940 there's a little island

00:55:02.320 right at the top

00:55:03.500 of the gulf

00:55:04.340 called Carg

00:55:06.020 I think that's how it's called

00:55:06.560 Carg, Carg Island

00:55:07.780 right, let's see

00:55:10.900 actually, let's click on it

00:55:12.140 because I want to show you

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

00:56:59.240 being entirely gone. There's nothing

00:57:01.260 to really stop the United States from doing

00:57:03.200 something like that.

00:57:07.820 There you go.

00:57:08.380 There you go. So that's something

00:57:09.620 it made me... I mean this article is just saying that

00:57:11.620 if and when Trump wants to

00:57:14.020 sort of declare mission accomplished

00:57:15.840 remember when George Bush

00:57:17.460 stood on that aircraft carrier

00:57:19.820 after the Iraq war I think in like 2004

00:57:22.380 maybe 2005

00:57:23.520 there's a giant banner that said mission accomplished

00:57:26.180 he did a little speech

00:57:27.780 mission accomplished.

00:57:29.240 What if your mission was to begin

00:57:31.780 A sectarian nightmare 1.00

00:57:32.720 If Trump wanted a mission accomplished

00:57:37.880 Moment

00:57:38.340 He could send marines

00:57:40.900 Or whatever

00:57:41.620 The army even maybe

00:57:44.340 To seize

00:57:46.680 That little island

00:57:48.220 And just say okay mission accomplished

00:57:50.860 We're done, end of the story

00:57:53.060 Of course it wouldn't be

00:57:54.860 Would it but

00:57:55.380 Politically

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

00:58:33.180 the victorious Byzantine general Belisarius

00:58:38.520 talks about Belisarius somehow came up a week or two ago didn't he

00:58:42.680 on Epochs of course Harry

00:58:45.740 on Epochs

00:58:50.520 I've got three or is it even four part

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

00:59:02.080 Generalissimo an Eastern Roman Byzantine 0.59

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.

00:59:38.360 Brilliant story, Belisarius.

00:59:39.820 The life and career of Belisarius, absolutely brilliant,

00:59:42.380 as is the life and times of Justinian.

00:59:45.640 A few hours, quite a few hours, hours of me and Carl talking about it.

00:59:51.660 Even on my own channel, History Bro,

00:59:53.420 I've got a completely other bit of content talking all about Justinian.

00:59:59.020 The Nikkei riots, all that sort of thing.

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.

01:00:26.240 Johann Gutenberg's 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

01:00:38.640 But more than that, just an explosion of ideas

01:00:41.540 A massive thing, just a giant turning point in all of human history

01:00:49.160 The printing press

01:00:50.800 On this day in 1918, fearing foreign invasion

01:00:54.940 Vladimir Lenin

01:00:58.000 shifts revolutionary Russia's capital

01:01:00.520 from St. Petersburg to Moscow

01:01:02.420 Petrograd

01:01:03.220 St. Petersburg

01:01:04.620 to Moscow

01:01:05.980 yeah all through the Tsarist era

01:01:07.900 really

01:01:08.380 the capital had been

01:01:10.840 Petersburg

01:01:12.440 or St. Petersburg

01:01:14.120 often they just call it Petersburg

01:01:15.840 St. Petersburg

01:01:17.240 often they would call it Petrograd

01:01:22.320 later

01:01:23.700 They named it Leningrad

01:01:25.820 All through the war

01:01:26.680 World War II

01:01:27.360 It was known as Leningrad

01:01:28.760 It's all the same place

01:01:29.620 Okay

01:01:31.520 Anyway

01:01:31.920 In 1918

01:01:32.840 Lenin and the Bolsheviks 0.59

01:01:35.480 Thought that

01:01:36.100 Perhaps not

01:01:36.900 Like they're not

01:01:37.540 Completely paranoid

01:01:38.320 That

01:01:39.440 Those of the allies

01:01:41.060 The allied powers

01:01:41.900 After defeating Germany 0.90

01:01:43.220 Would just

01:01:44.620 Continue on

01:01:45.560 And help

01:01:46.480 The whites 0.99

01:01:47.520 Like the old

01:01:49.660 Monarchists

01:01:51.060 There's a bit more

01:01:51.900 To the white faction

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

01:02:43.600 for the better. Wouldn't it?

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.

01:03:34.300 Alright. Lucky we can't go back in time.

01:03:39.100 On this day in 1930, Mahatma Gandhi begins his famous, isn't there all that famous, 200-mile

01:03:43.740 protest march against the widely hated

01:03:46.000 British salt tax 1.00

01:03:47.880 idiot Mahatma Gandhi 1.00

01:03:51.360 meddling solicitor 1.00

01:03:54.920 I like characterising that one

01:03:56.680 wife beater 0.94

01:03:58.620 perhaps a paedophile 0.97

01:04:00.720 definitely talked about sleeping

01:04:02.560 with one of his nieces 0.83

01:04:03.840 not necessarily for sexual intercourse 0.98

01:04:06.580 in fact he would say he would sleep with one of his nieces 0.97

01:04:08.980 to prove

01:04:10.400 that he could control

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

01:05:12.520 Because that's the right thing to do 1.00

01:05:13.760 No it isn't, idiot 1.00

01:05:15.500 Alright, on this day in 1994 1.00

01:05:21.400 The Church of England ordains its first 32 female priests

01:05:25.600 At the Bristol Cathedral in Bristol, England

01:05:29.420 Yeah, how'd that work out for you, Church of England?

01:05:32.120 Well, you're not a laughingstock now, no?

01:05:34.000 Well, you are

01:05:34.540 Alright

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

01:06:02.380 Trump gets to finish that war

01:06:07.240 When Bibby lets him

01:06:09.300 Busted Brian says

01:06:11.640 Hey Bo

01:06:12.280 Have you seen this?

01:06:14.660 Have you heard about this?

01:06:15.600 Have you seen?

01:06:15.980 Have you heard?

01:06:17.120 There was a debate

01:06:18.120 Between some restore lad

01:06:19.660 And a reform lass

01:06:21.060 Over on Dan Wootten

01:06:22.820 Was an interesting watch

01:06:24.740 Though I'm unfamiliar

01:06:25.940 With the folks involved

01:06:26.920 I think Busted Brian

01:06:29.080 Might be talking about

01:06:29.780 Where Mr. H

01:06:31.500 Nate

01:06:32.760 of Mr H Review's fame

01:06:35.140 and the state of politics

01:06:39.300 went on the Dan Wooten show

01:06:41.420 and there was a bit of a backwards and forwards

01:06:43.400 with one of the other guests

01:06:44.380 some reform lass 0.81

01:06:46.260 I can't even remember her name

01:06:47.680 and she was crazily out of her depth

01:06:50.320 and without breaking a sweat

01:06:52.320 he just demolished all her arguments 1.00

01:06:54.140 and made her look stupid 1.00

01:06:54.960 it's not difficult is it 1.00

01:06:57.080 it's not difficult

01:06:59.540 because reform's positions are 1.00

01:07:01.800 bad and stupid 1.00

01:07:03.620 a vote for reform 1.00

01:07:06.140 is a vote for

01:07:08.040 Zia Yusuf to be your home secretary

01:07:10.000 is that what you want?

01:07:13.740 you want Zia Yusuf to be your home secretary

01:07:15.660 vote reform then

01:07:17.660 you want the managed

01:07:20.400 decline to just continue

01:07:21.940 vote for reform then

01:07:24.620 you want them to capitulate to Islam 1.00

01:07:26.560 more, vote reform then

01:07:28.680 just allow the demographic

01:07:33.000 allow yourself to be

01:07:34.440 demographically replaced

01:07:36.920 in your own ancestral homeland

01:07:38.020 vote reform then

01:07:39.300 if that's what you want

01:07:39.860 no

01:07:41.580 you want someone

01:07:42.760 who's going to talk about

01:07:43.520 mass re-migration

01:07:44.340 what's actually necessary

01:07:45.760 well then vote low

01:07:47.260 aim high and vote low

01:07:48.040 millions must go

01:07:48.780 don't tell me

01:07:51.060 there's no real difference

01:07:51.760 between their policy platforms

01:07:53.020 don't tell me that

01:07:54.060 no one's buying that

01:07:54.860 no one's buying that

01:07:56.160 Nigel said just a couple of weeks ago

01:07:59.580 The reason why he had to get rid of Rupert

01:08:02.200 Was because he talked about mass re-migration

01:08:04.160 Yeah, keep standing for reform

01:08:14.180 Yeah, keep going

01:08:15.000 Yeah, good one

01:08:15.920 Good one

01:08:19.940 Right, Kulurgi says

01:08:22.520 This is really bad for Keir Starmer

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

01:08:33.120 Yeah, she's obviously a shill 1.00

01:08:38.940 JC Warlock says

01:08:42.120 Morning, enjoy bro, enjoy the coffee

01:08:46.740 Oh thank you, I mean this is tea

01:08:49.220 Or was

01:08:50.240 I don't mind coffee, I don't usually drink coffee

01:08:54.440 I don't really like coffee, I don't hate it

01:08:57.060 But I'm a tea man

01:08:59.460 I drink tea

01:09:00.200 Don't take coffee, I drink tea, my dear

01:09:02.740 Love tea, we have multiple cups of tea a day

01:09:05.280 Sometimes a silly amount, like ten cups in a day

01:09:09.040 JC Warlock also then says

01:09:15.320 What's your position of the

01:09:19.400 Geomagnetic conditions of Earth?

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

01:09:50.600 So it's so cold

01:09:51.380 It's not that cold

01:09:53.060 On the equator in its summer

01:09:55.220 It can be not

01:09:56.740 It can be

01:09:57.500 You can survive the cold

01:09:58.620 But it's

01:10:00.520 And the fact there's no oxygen

01:10:01.980 That as well

01:10:02.660 But it's irradiated

01:10:04.020 There's very high radiation

01:10:06.800 So yeah if we didn't have

01:10:08.520 But

01:10:08.980 So

01:10:09.400 The geomagnetic

01:10:12.060 Reduction

01:10:13.440 I don't know about that

01:10:14.640 But the geomagnetic

01:10:15.660 The flipping of the poles 0.99

01:10:17.120 That might happen

01:10:17.840 that could well happen

01:10:20.260 again I haven't really got time to go into it all

01:10:21.680 but I find it fascinating that

01:10:23.020 you've got your

01:10:24.580 there's two different poles

01:10:28.480 aren't there on the earth

01:10:29.380 there's the

01:10:32.320 geographic one and the magnetic one

01:10:34.860 and the magnetic one

01:10:36.340 isn't necessarily particularly near

01:10:38.140 the geographical one

01:10:39.780 and it moves around, it wobbles around all over the place

01:10:42.540 constantly

01:10:43.620 on its axis

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

01:11:14.560 I think it would ruin

01:11:16.020 It would certainly ruin everyone's compass

01:11:17.340 I think it might ruin loads of things

01:11:20.680 Like satellites and

01:11:22.180 Would it? You tell me

01:11:24.000 Would it ruin satellites, ruin GPS

01:11:26.240 Various things

01:11:27.260 I think it would be a catastrophic event

01:11:30.260 Okay, alright

01:11:33.980 Luke Stewart 91 says

01:11:36.400 G'day Bo 1.00

01:11:37.080 Do we know if there's been any live images

01:11:39.740 Of the new Supreme Leader

01:11:40.960 All I remember seeing is

01:11:42.300 they use the cardboard cutout for his inauguration

01:11:45.020 start to feel like a weekend at Biden's

01:11:48.500 weekend at Bernie's

01:11:50.440 yeah if it's too much longer

01:11:53.400 before we actually see him live in the flesh

01:11:55.500 then I think speculation

01:11:59.040 is less crazy

01:12:01.580 that he is in fact already dead

01:12:03.980 I've seen a couple of reports that he was wounded

01:12:06.040 now a couple of reports

01:12:07.720 at some point relatively soon

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.

01:13:06.760 he's one of us

01:13:09.600 one of us

01:13:11.140 good old Dan Whitton

01:13:12.900 I was on his show

01:13:13.900 he's a man of impeccable taste

01:13:15.800 he let me on his show once

01:13:17.640 okay

01:13:20.540 oh okay

01:13:21.880 great

01:13:22.300 Busty Bryan

01:13:22.900 brilliant

01:13:23.120 so it happened again

01:13:24.320 a restore person

01:13:25.600 pwned

01:13:26.780 a reformed person

01:13:27.780 again it's not difficult

01:13:29.600 the arguments

01:13:30.320 are there

01:13:30.920 like no we want our country back

01:13:32.800 no I'm not embarrassed

01:13:33.660 I don't care about you

01:13:34.720 calling me a racist

01:13:35.400 or even an ethnic

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

01:14:06.200 No they're not though

01:14:07.600 So next

01:14:08.960 Just take some political will

01:14:11.360 Just take someone who isn't a containment project

01:14:14.720 That's all it takes

01:14:17.060 So it's not impossible

01:14:17.780 Absolutely not impossible

01:14:19.140 If we alienate Islam we lose 0.99

01:14:22.580 Wrong 0.76

01:14:23.100 Wrong

01:14:24.740 Exactly 180 wrong

01:14:26.520 It's quite easy to make the arguments isn't it

01:14:29.920 Just have some spying

01:14:34.480 Just actually stand up for the natives

01:14:38.480 And the people

01:14:39.320 Just be patriotic

01:14:40.380 It's not

01:14:40.820 It's not difficult

01:14:42.340 Okay

01:14:44.100 Tracy Warlock says

01:14:45.240 Expansion of the crust

01:14:47.020 Is more

01:14:47.780 More a likely explanation

01:14:49.860 Than a 90 degree flip

01:14:51.960 To be honest

01:14:52.720 Okay

01:14:53.600 Just still talk about

01:14:54.400 Earth stuff

01:14:55.740 Expansion of the crust

01:14:58.180 I don't know about

01:15:01.800 The earth's cooling down

01:15:02.780 If anything isn't it

01:15:03.500 Over time

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

01:15:15.320 It's already called you past

01:15:16.100 The YouTube super chats, Harry, can you bring that on the

01:15:19.540 On my screen for me

01:15:21.480 You have to do that

01:15:22.940 Okay, there they are, alright

01:15:25.120 Thank you sir

01:15:26.600 Global church history, always first in 0.99

01:15:28.680 Global church history, always seems to be first in 1.00

01:15:30.560 Well done, thank you

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

01:16:21.540 there's no point

01:16:23.320 cooing him before then

01:16:25.100 because if you did

01:16:26.260 you will just take all the flack

01:16:30.380 for that shellacking

01:16:31.920 your party's going to get in May

01:16:33.960 yeah quite right

01:16:34.700 let that be

01:16:39.920 the final kill shot to Starmer's

01:16:42.240 career, his career

01:16:43.600 not an actual kill shot

01:16:46.280 speaking figuratively

01:16:49.080 metaphorically

01:16:50.940 David Betts 1180 says

01:16:53.980 Mandy and Starmer probably shared some rent boys

01:16:56.760 I mean

01:16:57.140 Far be it from me to speculate on that

01:17:00.700 But I mean

01:17:01.360 There's nothing in the laws of physics

01:17:04.420 Preventing that from

01:17:06.140 Have happened

01:17:06.940 I don't know though

01:17:10.960 I don't know

01:17:12.480 Chris 281 says

01:17:14.200 Justin Castro

01:17:15.820 You talking about Trudeau

01:17:18.560 I guess Justin Castro

01:17:20.260 Was in constant scandals for years

01:17:23.000 And didn't resign

01:17:23.780 Lord Farquhar and his husband in France

01:17:26.900 Has had many scandals

01:17:29.360 And hasn't resigned

01:17:30.140 These West puppets have no concept of honour 1.00

01:17:33.460 Yeah, good point, fair point, absolutely

01:17:35.180 Often

01:17:37.100 If there's no legal mechanism

01:17:40.440 To force them out of office 0.85

01:17:41.840 They just won't, yeah, completely shameless 0.89

01:17:43.620 Utterly, utterly shameless

01:17:45.560 It used to be, even not that long ago

01:17:47.480 If there was some sort of scandal around you

01:17:49.940 Even the whiff of a scandal

01:17:51.920 You resigned

01:17:52.560 Because that was just

01:17:53.220 Considered

01:17:54.400 The right thing to do

01:17:55.920 Even if you hadn't

01:17:57.640 Actually done anything wrong

01:17:58.680 Yeah

01:18:01.760 Not that long ago

01:18:03.700 It was the beginning of the 80s

01:18:05.040 Margaret Thatcher's government

01:18:06.380 When the Falklands happened

01:18:07.500 The

01:18:09.000 Argentine attack

01:18:11.000 Was sort of out of nowhere

01:18:12.500 Kind of out of nowhere

01:18:14.160 We didn't expect them to do it

01:18:16.020 Basically

01:18:16.360 They were doing

01:18:17.580 It started

01:18:18.300 They were doing some

01:18:19.040 Some exercises

01:18:21.220 Some training

01:18:23.460 In and around that region

01:18:25.540 And then it just turned into a real full blown attack

01:18:27.800 Sort of thing, you know, you can imagine

01:18:28.900 And the foreign secretary at the time

01:18:31.700 Resigned

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

01:18:39.880 So he'd done

01:18:41.840 Nothing wrong, and yet he resigned

01:18:43.680 Because that was considered the right thing to do

01:18:47.500 Yeah, and you're right, nowadays

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

01:19:20.640 where they do say okay now resign yeah okay all right a bit resign now then if you say so

01:19:25.740 or they say to uh boris or they say to the tories get rid of boris we want rishi oh well you haven't

01:19:38.420 just picked trust of you right get rid of her we wanted rishi rishi's our pick

01:19:43.700 what is that not what basically what happened there you don't remember rishi

01:19:48.700 the circumstances of him becoming prime minister he was obviously the wef pick

01:19:57.320 all right

01:19:59.880 judas goat barbecue 4336 says

01:20:06.640 judas goat barbecue okay that is what it says i'm just checking in reference to your poll yesterday

01:20:14.340 did you know the a10 walk hog unit patch says uh ugly but well hung i didn't know that

01:20:21.680 cheers from dallas texas did you know that harry i didn't know that

01:20:25.720 your mic's not on but okay i guess you're probably gonna

01:20:32.640 okay don't do any more of that we'll have to sort that out

01:20:38.260 okay the warthog patch says ugly but well hung brilliant uh phil marshall dole browning doesn't

01:20:46.580 say anything but gives us 10 aussie dollars thank you very much dole appreciate it as always

01:20:49.960 Harry Hobag says

01:20:52.280 do you think Max is good enough

01:20:54.620 to keep Red Bull Max Verstappen

01:20:56.540 you must be talking about that

01:20:57.740 is Max good enough to keep Red Bull in the championship

01:21:00.300 with the Mercs and Ferrari looking so strong

01:21:02.680 the Red Bull is supposed to be fast

01:21:04.520 yeah who knows

01:21:05.540 he had a mare in Australia didn't he

01:21:07.880 he crashed out early in qualifying

01:21:09.480 so he started at the back

01:21:10.920 but has he got the skill

01:21:13.280 has he got the raw talent and skill and ability

01:21:15.260 of course he has

01:21:15.960 is the Red Bull fast enough

01:21:18.380 probably

01:21:19.760 borderline probably so

01:21:21.880 I wouldn't

01:21:24.180 bet against Max

01:21:26.280 I wouldn't short Max

01:21:27.760 this season

01:21:29.840 but would he be my pick no

01:21:32.060 I think George Russell on the strength of the

01:21:34.080 first race and the qualifying and everything

01:21:35.980 those Mercs are like a second quicker than anyone 1.00

01:21:38.040 else something like that at the moment

01:21:39.420 the smart money

01:21:41.940 is on George isn't it

01:21:43.980 ok

01:21:44.220 David Betts 1180 again says

01:21:47.900 now all the AA is destroyed

01:21:50.920 I guess you mean anti-aircraft

01:21:52.480 now all the AA is destroyed

01:21:55.080 Trump should send a few old B-17s over 1.00

01:21:59.300 just for the banter and the old times sake

01:22:01.760 yeah that would be funny

01:22:02.460 some B-17s, some B-29s

01:22:04.860 get together a little wing of P-51 Mustangs

01:22:10.900 for old times sake

01:22:13.160 yeah if they've got pure complete air superiority

01:22:17.960 okay only three more left uh max robe says he just says polar bear expedition

01:22:27.760 max robe what are you talking about polar bear expedition i'm not sure what you're

01:22:34.540 what's that in reference to i'm afraid am i being dumb is it really obvious to everyone

01:22:38.940 out there what that is in reference to i i don't know you just say polar bear expedition

01:22:46.860 okay sorry thanks for the two pound you've put there max but um i don't know what you're talking

01:22:53.580 about next time write a bit more next time write what i mean is okay oh the very next one says

01:23:06.460 Oh, the very next one is from Max

01:23:08.660 Okay, the very next one is also from Max Rabe

01:23:11.180 That says, probably should have said 0.58

01:23:12.800 American Expeditionary Force

01:23:15.080 North Russia 1919

01:23:16.960 Okay

01:23:18.040 Sorry, I should have just read the next one

01:23:20.540 Where you do explain yourself, sorry about that Max

01:23:22.280 Right, yeah, the Americans sent 0.99

01:23:26.940 In 1919, sent

01:23:28.660 Troops to help out the whites, didn't they 0.99

01:23:30.820 I think the Brits, I'm pretty sure the Brits did as well

01:23:32.880 And other people, didn't the French 0.57

01:23:34.900 As well

01:23:36.660 It was relatively small

01:23:38.960 Small beer

01:23:41.100 They could have, should have sent more

01:23:42.860 But yeah, yeah, it's well known

01:23:44.860 That's why forevermore after that

01:23:47.320 The Soviets 0.92

01:23:48.940 Were deeply, deeply suspicious

01:23:51.000 Of the West

01:23:52.200 I mean, not wrongly

01:23:54.280 They could always point to that

01:23:56.900 And say, look, you tried to

01:23:58.020 You tried to strangle us in the cradle

01:24:00.920 You tried to murder us 0.68

01:24:03.180 At birth 0.96

01:24:03.760 didn't you

01:24:05.380 I mean not that I want to stand for the Soviets

01:24:08.980 I hated

01:24:09.620 the entire Soviet experiment 0.98

01:24:12.380 completely wrong headed and mad

01:24:14.740 but they weren't wrong

01:24:16.460 on that

01:24:17.160 they weren't wrong

01:24:18.700 as you say

01:24:19.460 the American Expeditionary Force

01:24:21.980 in Russia in 1919

01:24:23.540 tried to smother the Bolshevik experiment 0.92

01:24:28.640 at inception

01:24:30.400 almost

01:24:31.060 Wish they'd succeeded

01:24:33.780 If I'm honest

01:24:34.860 Okay

01:24:36.220 And the very last one for today

01:24:37.640 Global Church History says

01:24:39.080 Harry's in the cyber frame

01:24:42.880 Instead of the well

01:24:43.980 Yeah we need to sort out the mic

01:24:45.540 What was that?

01:24:46.340 Something went wrong there

01:24:47.220 We got him out of the well

01:24:48.540 If you notice

01:24:48.980 This week

01:24:49.640 Last few days

01:24:50.320 Doesn't sound like he's at the bottom of a well anymore

01:24:52.400 But we are still experiencing

01:24:53.960 Some sort of issue with the mic

01:24:55.060 So we'll sort it out

01:24:56.140 Bear with us

01:24:56.660 Bear with us

01:24:57.320 Alright

01:24:59.140 That's all the super chats

01:25:00.220 And the rumble rant

01:25:00.760 So that's the show

01:25:01.500 It has now ticked

01:25:02.360 25 minutes past nine

01:25:03.680 In the AM Greenwich

01:25:04.680 Meantime

01:25:05.160 On Thursday the 12th of March

01:25:07.240 In the year of our Lord

01:25:10.140 You've been the glorious band

01:25:12.260 The chosen few

01:25:14.120 My band of brothers

01:25:18.300 Thank you for watching

01:25:25.900 You will only have

01:25:27.200 This day once

01:25:27.840 Let that sink in

01:25:28.720 Once it's gone, it's gone

01:25:31.320 If it's possible, if you've got free time today

01:25:34.100 Try and make it count
