00:01:25.320 it's more than a faffing for one morning oh no there's a tiny bit more faffing

00:01:30.680 hit the thumbs up thing fan dabby dozy button it's the fan dabby dozy button that's what i've

00:01:36.040 just decided it's called now get the thumbs up it helps youtube massively youtube really really

00:01:49.800 doesn't cost anything get the bell on all right now that is that is enough faffing and fanning

00:01:55.720 about for one morning let's see what the legacy corporate lamestream media are talking about this

00:02:01.400 morning what's that cabal of evil quite frankly evil fleet street editors trying to tell us is

00:02:05.560 or isn't important are they lying to us about by omission if by nothing else let's see what have

00:02:10.600 we got we've got king's astonishing outburst according to mr steiner's brother the old

00:02:18.360 spencer whose name is also charles by the way according to his new tell-all book

00:02:25.960 the king prince of wales as he was then um committed an astonishing outburst we'll get

00:02:32.120 into it it's one of the main stories in the news today i know we don't i certainly don't

00:02:36.360 care about royal news kind of at all

00:02:41.160 so i'll keep it to a minimum i'll let dan wouldn't do all that stuff no shade it down

00:02:45.720 i like dan what and other people talk about that in detail but it's one of the main it's probably

00:02:50.920 the main story today i would have thought well it kind of is as far as fleet street is concerned

00:02:54.840 anyway and heartbreak after search for missing noah just an individual story of an individual

00:03:00.920 kid poor little toddler kid who died not sure if there's any foul play or anything doesn't

00:03:06.840 look like it at this point but just an individual story of a little kid that's right

00:03:11.160 Harbour isn't it

00:03:14.880 If it bleeds it leads

00:03:16.680 There's the old adage isn't it

00:03:19.140 There's a horror story

00:03:21.140 Have that

00:03:21.940 Thanks

00:03:23.700 Okay let's start with the times

00:03:26.140 The venerable times

00:03:27.320 Almost as globalist as all the others

00:03:30.420 Alright

00:03:32.000 Crackdown on ADHD claims

00:03:34.980 Will aim to slash soaring welfare bill

00:03:37.420 in some of the other news i read this morning the government andy burnham's government no

00:03:43.600 sternum burnham was talking about there's a few million people some some children a lot of them

00:03:50.780 adults that are claiming pip or they're claiming benefits for adhd but essentially it's not like

00:03:59.500 that bad hd like like all these things there's a spectrum isn't there from a very very mild case

00:04:04.940 of it even a borderline case is it even adhd all the way through to like a debilitating terrible

00:04:09.920 terrible mental illness certainly a mental illness type level issue what about andy burnham's

00:04:18.560 government is saying slashing welfare for those where it's not as bad and you're actually already

00:04:24.400 affluent you're already a middle class family household do you need pip you really need pip

00:04:29.660 You're already middle class

00:04:33.600 And or sort of affluent

00:04:34.560 And you've only got the tiniest little bit of ADHD

00:04:37.620 Do we need to be spending

00:04:39.460 8 billion pounds on those people a year?

00:04:43.240 Andy Burnham asks

00:04:44.360 Okay

00:04:46.460 King

00:04:48.320 Grief has coloured

00:04:50.360 Earl's claim over Diana

00:04:52.580 Earl, Princess Diana's brother

00:04:54.160 That grief has coloured his claims

00:04:58.040 Over Diana

00:04:58.920 palace issues extraordinary statement after book accuses charles of contempt towards princess

00:05:05.960 so this is the story we'll cover it once here five minutes at most if even if that

00:05:10.360 the old spencer has published a book hasn't he many many years after was it 1997 was it

00:05:17.080 diana was killed in that car crash many many years later he's written a book

00:05:21.380 and um he says that there was a phone call shortly after a few days after it

00:05:26.460 He was on the old blower to Sausage Fingers

00:05:29.320 And Sausage Fingers was sort of rude and dismissive about it

00:05:33.260 He said things like, apparently, called into the old Spencer

00:05:37.420 Sausage Fingers said

00:05:40.160 Tax Coburg and Gotha said

00:05:43.000 We'll get over it quickly

00:05:45.360 We'll forget about Diana

00:05:46.880 Rest assured

00:05:49.220 There we go, rest assured

00:05:50.640 We will forget her soon enough

00:05:52.880 According to the old Spencer

00:05:58.660 And some other things

00:05:59.700 Like in that sort of tone

00:06:01.380 It's like

00:06:04.080 I don't know if it's a particularly extraordinary outburst

00:06:07.380 Astonishing outburst

00:06:09.120 But if true

00:06:10.780 If true

00:06:11.400 I wasn't on that phone call

00:06:12.940 So I couldn't say one way or another

00:06:14.500 If it's true

00:06:15.220 It's a bit heartless

00:06:17.360 How could you be so heartless

00:06:18.640 It's a bit heartless

00:06:19.620 But

00:06:19.880 But

00:06:24.000 Yeah

00:06:25.540 King Charles is a bit of a heartless person

00:06:28.000 Yeah a bit of a cold SOB

00:06:29.720 Yeah we already knew that

00:06:30.860 Yeah

00:06:31.120 Yeah

00:06:32.340 And he'd fallen completely out of love with her

00:06:34.740 Hated her

00:06:35.260 Didn't he by that point

00:06:36.100 They hated each other

00:06:36.900 Years before that point

00:06:39.380 Didn't they

00:06:39.820 You know what divorced couples are like

00:06:43.040 Not all of them

00:06:43.680 A lot of them

00:06:44.780 Someone you once loved

00:06:47.320 Turns into someone you hate the most

00:06:49.220 they hated each other didn't they let's be honest let's be fair yeah she was trying to

00:06:54.420 humiliate him in all sorts of different ways and he just thought of her as just a complete

00:06:57.900 embarrassment now so apparently according to the old spencer he said rest assured we will forget

00:07:03.940 her soon enough and similar type sentiments that's about it that's about it oh sorry the

00:07:12.120 other main data point is that now this has been revealed that what the old spencer wrote in his

00:07:16.820 book that the palace has responded quite often the palace don't respond to things do they at all

00:07:23.600 in fact that's their sort of signature move isn't it just not responding

00:07:27.340 like the intelligence services just no we've got nothing to say one way or another we'll let the

00:07:33.960 chattering classes chatter away we shan't say anything at all but they have they have responded

00:07:39.420 the palace has released a statement this time and they've basically said and i paraphrase

00:07:45.740 The Earl Spencer's

00:07:47.580 The Earl Spencer's going out of his mind a bit

00:07:50.000 I don't think he remembers it properly

00:07:52.380 They're trying that angle

00:07:53.480 Grief has coloured the Earl's claims

00:07:57.140 Perhaps time and grief

00:08:00.100 Has made his memory banks fail

00:08:02.300 Effectively, that's what they're saying

00:08:04.280 That's it, that's it

00:08:08.120 Take it or leave it

00:08:08.900 Take it or leave it

00:08:10.420 I shall leave it

00:08:11.160 Because I really don't care

00:08:12.300 Alright, and this is the story of that kid

00:08:15.220 This poor little kid

00:08:16.260 I think he was like three or something

00:08:17.640 Was he? Three or four

00:08:18.360 Really little kid

00:08:19.380 A toddler basically

00:08:21.040 I think the details were

00:08:23.660 He was playing in a playground

00:08:25.540 On a roundabout

00:08:26.440 On his own

00:08:27.460 Well

00:08:28.080 There weren't any other kids around

00:08:29.560 And

00:08:29.820 Was it one of his grandparents

00:08:31.380 His grandad

00:08:32.080 Was it supposed to be watching him?

00:08:35.700 Obviously he wasn't watching him close enough

00:08:37.200 Because he totters out of this playground

00:08:39.820 I think there was a fence and a gate

00:08:41.240 But he

00:08:41.540 This kid somehow got out of the playground

00:08:43.580 Totters away

00:08:44.740 and the i think the grandfather just wasn't on the ball enough

00:08:50.320 it tosses away down an alley and out of sight or something all the details don't make perfect

00:08:58.100 sense to me if i'm perfectly honest not i've spent a great deal of time like colombo going

00:09:02.900 over the second second timeline of it granddad said he went after him but then he felt the

00:09:07.280 granddad fell over i don't know he can't catch up to a toddler were you not looking

00:09:14.740 Were you not paying attention?

00:09:18.140 Grandad.

00:09:20.100 Anyway, he went missing for like a couple of days with it.

00:09:22.540 Two or three days.

00:09:23.100 And then I found a body.

00:09:26.080 Like in some woods.

00:09:27.080 By a pond or something.

00:09:29.000 He tottered into a pond and drowned.

00:09:31.180 Was there any other sort of foul play?

00:09:32.480 Don't know.

00:09:33.040 But anyway.

00:09:34.440 What a horrible, horrible, distressing story.

00:09:37.080 This poor little angelic kid is dead now.

00:09:40.000 Thanks, the news.

00:09:40.880 Thanks for bringing us that.

00:09:41.720 Out of everything you could have brought to us.

00:09:44.740 brilliant

00:09:51.140 the mail here globally slop they're leading the charge with the royal story

00:09:56.500 the mail they're the ones i believe they're the ones with look the

00:09:59.140 exclusive royal world exclusive you know i think

00:10:03.060 they're the ones that first printed the excerpts

00:10:06.740 from the earl spencer's book rest assured we'll forget her soon enough

00:10:10.260 charles's astonishing outburst is it that stone it's not really astonishing to

00:10:13.620 me astonishing outburst days after diner's death as told in l spencer's shattering memoir prompts

00:10:20.500 palace to say grief may have colored his memory let's go yeah that's all there is to it we'll go

00:10:24.900 on it onto it something about ran off fines i like ran off like is he dead little harry can

00:10:36.500 you just quickly google ran off fines that this name here ran off fines for me is he dead

00:10:43.620 I liked Ranulph, I can't remember.

00:10:45.940 I liked him, he was a badass dude, Ranulph Fiennes.

00:10:48.320 Anyway, anyway.

00:10:49.840 The Daily Tory graph.

00:10:54.220 German-owned Zionist slop, anti-nativist, British nativist, anti-British patriotic.

00:11:02.580 That's what it is now.

00:11:05.240 Please hit back at Dinah's brother.

00:11:07.480 They're all going with the same thing.

00:11:10.220 Almost like they're a single cabal, isn't it?

00:11:12.620 It's almost as though it's slightly difficult to avoid the conclusion

00:11:17.360 That they're all in fact in coots with each other

00:11:20.240 And it's one, actually one cabal

00:11:22.660 Navy chief, that's the Royal Navy chief, said

00:11:27.700 We must rebuild to fight Putin

00:11:29.440 You know they've got the world's biggest stockpile of thermonuclear weapons though, don't you, right?

00:11:43.020 you do know that right

00:11:47.980 the satan 2 rocket anybody anybody heard of the satan 2 anybody nope

00:11:55.580 it's almost as big as a czar bomber if all 10 or is it 12 of the mervs if all the nuclear warheads

00:12:03.100 from one of those rockets hitting the same spot the yield would be about the same a little smaller

00:12:08.380 than the czar bomber

00:12:12.060 so like three of those on britain one on edinburgh one on manchester one on london

00:12:17.900 that's how big that would be the end

00:12:21.420 but we need to rebuild the navy to me to fight putin

00:12:29.420 okay

00:12:33.740 i won't do that i'm not needlessly scaremonger i mean we've got trident haven't we we

00:12:38.220 would nuke them back if they did that probably but why are we trying to have a war with russia

00:12:47.980 still i still don't get it because of course i don't buy the narrative

00:12:52.060 that we must protect the donbass otherwise he's going to roll into eastern europe and

00:12:56.540 scandinavia and even central europe onto the sane czar alexander style i don't buy that

00:13:03.500 that's palpably nonsense to my mind so then so why why are we poking Russia

00:13:11.900 are we doing that remind me that's the reason you need a bogeyman in order to

00:13:19.940 justify your budgets is that why okay

00:13:25.220 Newt's May Thwart

00:13:29.720 Piddington migrant camp

00:13:32.080 Okay, it's saying that

00:13:39.260 a certain type of rare newt

00:13:41.960 a little newt in the water

00:13:44.240 is protected and there may be a whole bunch of red tape

00:13:47.660 meaning they can't necessarily build much or anything

00:13:50.320 on that migrant site near Piddington

00:13:52.860 classic that would be classic if that's how uh that's how it went

00:13:58.480 because there's all sorts of stories in this country all the time that you can't really get

00:14:03.940 much done because of things like that oh there's an old ruin somewhere on this field like an old

00:14:09.740 ruined barn and there's some bats in it and you actually can't because the bats are endangered in

00:14:16.080 some way on a list somewhere you you can't ever touch that ruined barn ever again you certainly

00:14:21.640 can't build anything on that on that site for example that's just one little example

00:14:28.120 you can't build xyz you can't do xyz because of some environmental red tape it'd be interesting

00:14:35.800 if the migrant plans at least in piddington were thwarted by newts some endangered

00:14:43.880 was it greater crested newts or something

00:14:45.640 That would be apropos

00:14:51.340 That would be fitting

00:14:52.840 Okay

00:14:55.600 NHS must treat dementia like cancer

00:14:59.800 I mean, do they not already?

00:15:01.580 Dementia is a massive, massive problem, isn't it?

00:15:03.240 Massive problem

00:15:03.760 Terrible, terrible thing

00:15:05.520 NHS is just all sorts of broken, isn't it?

00:15:10.620 On many, many, many levels

00:15:11.940 In many, many ways

00:15:13.360 The idea that you can just keep throwing money at it

00:15:16.620 Just keep throwing Nigerian nurses and more billions at it

00:15:20.540 And it will be good suddenly

00:15:22.620 Some of the worst health outcomes in the world

00:15:25.900 At least for developed first world countries

00:15:29.000 Isn't that what it's all about?

00:15:32.140 Isn't that the main metric that it should always be judged by?

00:15:35.220 It's the health outcomes

00:15:36.420 Shouldn't it be?

00:15:40.540 Well they're some of the very worst

00:15:41.820 Just have more foreign nurses and doctors

00:15:46.940 Who aren't necessarily competent

00:15:48.180 And more and more and more billions

00:15:49.880 That get thrown away and wasted

00:15:51.180 That will make it work efficiently

00:15:54.140 Will it?

00:15:55.280 Just have many many more layers of management

00:15:57.140 Just have loads of DEI layers of management

00:16:00.380 That will make it work better

00:16:01.580 Will it?

00:16:05.860 Just have DEI quotas in the NHS

00:16:08.340 That will help

00:16:09.860 Doesn't help

00:16:13.800 Here's a story we'll talk about in a minute

00:16:17.740 Putney Pusher suspect found dead at 44

00:16:20.620 I'll talk about that in a moment

00:16:22.060 I think one of the other front pages go with it

00:16:23.440 As the main story

00:16:24.300 Alright the son

00:16:25.280 There's Diana

00:16:27.560 And her feathered hair

00:16:30.320 Beautiful, beautiful hair didn't she Diana

00:16:35.500 Feathered and lethal

00:16:40.920 You just don't see it anymore

00:16:42.500 Charles told me

00:16:48.040 Or Spencer, me

00:16:49.580 Told me, rest assured

00:16:51.420 We'll forget Diana soon enough

00:16:53.140 Pain of fraternal grief

00:16:55.580 Can cloud reason and colour memory

00:16:57.860 Recollections may vary

00:17:00.000 Again

00:17:00.520 But there they are

00:17:01.980 There's Charles Saxe, Coburg, Gotha and Charles Spencer

00:17:05.240 arguing over what was said in the days after diana died in 1997 don't care moving on don't

00:17:32.840 Palace on Spencer's Diana

00:17:36.300 We've done it, we've done it

00:17:37.220 And the Mirror, also Diana

00:17:38.480 The Mirror, also Diana

00:17:39.580 And there we go, the Putney Pusher

00:17:41.260 This guy, years ago

00:17:43.020 Was it nine years ago or something?

00:17:44.620 Quite a few years ago

00:17:45.440 He was having a jog

00:17:47.160 I think he was in the army

00:17:48.020 I think he was like a captain in the army

00:17:50.220 Something like that

00:17:50.960 He was just having a jog across Putney Bridge

00:17:54.560 In West London

00:17:55.700 And he seemed

00:17:58.060 Well, not seemed to

00:17:58.820 He did push someone

00:18:00.080 A woman, I think, was it?

00:18:01.280 I can't remember the details.

00:18:02.300 He pushed someone that was sort of in his way.

00:18:04.320 He was jogging along and they were sort of in his way

00:18:05.560 and he pushed them.

00:18:07.040 And they nearly got hit by a bus.

00:18:08.800 He, like, pushed them towards the road.

00:18:10.560 He didn't sort of push them in the road

00:18:12.000 right in front of a speeding oncoming bus.

00:18:14.360 It wasn't that, but...

00:18:15.540 He just pushed them out of the way

00:18:16.340 and they nearly fell under a bus.

00:18:20.680 Oh, no, they didn't actually fall under the bus, did they?

00:18:23.120 Did they?

00:18:23.980 I can't remember the exact details.

00:18:25.060 Anyway, a little bit, a tiny bit of a story at the time,

00:18:29.520 the Putney pusher.

00:18:31.280 It's actually not all that uncommon for people to push other people in front of a train, in front of a bus, or whatever.

00:18:40.040 It's rarely a white guy that does it.

00:18:42.280 I must admit, it's very rarely a white guy.

00:18:44.400 But because this is a white guy, they'll go with it and they'll promote the story.

00:18:50.700 It's like, very, very rarely does a white guy do an acid attack.

00:18:54.600 Very, very rarely.

00:18:56.180 Hardly ever, statistically.

00:18:57.320 But when they do find one example of that

00:19:00.080 Like there was one in a nightclub years ago

00:19:01.800 Where some crazy white dude

00:19:03.380 Squirted acid around in a nightclub

00:19:06.300 When they do find one

00:19:08.660 That's what they'll always talk about

00:19:10.080 If acid attacks ever come up

00:19:11.680 They'll talk about that white guy that did one

00:19:13.360 Similar with this Putney pusher

00:19:17.880 Anyway, he's now dead apparently

00:19:20.300 He's found in his home dead

00:19:22.220 I don't know

00:19:22.660 From when reading the stories

00:19:25.640 It sort of get the impression it was a suicide

00:19:27.620 But I don't know

00:19:28.640 They just said has been found dead

00:19:31.140 They haven't said

00:19:31.800 What exactly

00:19:33.780 There you go

00:19:35.420 Another bit of slop there

00:19:37.040 Heartbreak, poor little toddler's dead

00:19:39.740 Okay

00:19:40.200 It's a good paper you can read your express now

00:19:42.920 You can read your globalist slop now

00:19:46.640 If you take the express

00:19:50.880 Think carefully about your life decisions

00:19:52.600 Because it's only wearing the skin suit

00:19:57.500 Of patriotism, nationalism, nativism

00:20:00.640 It's only pretending to be on your side

00:20:03.440 If you're an Englishman

00:20:04.220 It's not really, at all

00:20:06.980 If you've got nativist concerns

00:20:10.620 Or patriotic concerns

00:20:15.460 You're worried about

00:20:16.940 That your country has been invaded

00:20:19.580 By rapists and murderers

00:20:22.100 You're concerned about that

00:20:24.740 You think that perhaps we should have a cap on migration

00:20:28.860 Much less re-migration

00:20:31.040 The Express thinks you're evil and a Nazi

00:20:34.500 And a bigot and a racist and un-British

00:20:36.820 And you're beyond the pale

00:20:37.980 And you should really be character assassinated

00:20:41.260 That's who the Express are

00:20:44.320 That's who they actually are

00:20:47.640 Don't buy

00:20:50.460 That there's some sort of

00:20:53.120 Third Crusade era

00:20:54.540 Knight of St George

00:20:56.800 Fighting for you and this country

00:20:59.000 No, no, no

00:20:59.620 That's all a cynical, cynical liar

00:21:01.520 They hate us

00:21:04.100 They're globalists

00:21:07.840 They'll throw out a bit of red meat

00:21:12.880 From time to time

00:21:13.560 To pretend they're not

00:21:14.360 It's pretty straightforward stuff

00:21:15.700 They've revealed their true colours

00:21:17.600 Time and time and time again

00:21:18.840 Hundreds of times over the years

00:21:21.280 Tory leader blasts government

00:21:23.500 As experts

00:21:24.300 Predict inflation could hit 4%

00:21:27.860 Early next year

00:21:28.760 We are paying the price for Labour's

00:21:31.980 Economy failure

00:21:33.140 Yeah

00:21:35.540 Yeah

00:21:36.400 Economic theory which is the same sort of theory

00:21:39.560 That the Tories

00:21:40.220 Used

00:21:41.940 They're out there like 14 years of power

00:21:45.360 Keynesian economics

00:21:47.860 You can spend your way

00:21:48.940 You can tax and spend your way out of debt

00:21:50.640 You can print more money

00:21:56.740 Your way out of debt

00:21:58.700 Nope, nope

00:21:59.840 It was nonsense, always was nonsense

00:22:02.040 Is wrong

00:22:04.420 There you go

00:22:06.200 Even if the Tories got in

00:22:08.180 They wouldn't do anything profoundly different

00:22:10.540 Would they?

00:22:15.360 Even when Maggie Thatcher wanted to cut spending in the 80s,

00:22:20.860 a big, big, big chunk of the Tory party went berserk.

00:22:24.520 You can't do that. You can't do that. That's mad.

00:22:28.020 John Maynard Keynes wouldn't approve of that.

00:22:31.300 So it must be wrong.

00:22:33.560 Not wrong, though. It's not wrong.

00:22:39.180 Hey, the Iyer paper.

00:22:40.500 burnham warns of challenging budget after 3.1 inflation jumped up from what 2.7 was it

00:22:47.800 yeah inflation there's more and more inflation have you noticed you out there whoever you are

00:22:54.120 have you noticed that buying things

00:22:57.220 is extremely expensive now

00:23:03.400 everything everything's crazily expensive

00:23:10.360 Because we've had years and years and years and years of inflation

00:23:13.540 You might think 3.1% inflation isn't that bad in the scheme of things, historically

00:23:18.940 Well

00:23:20.680 You go to the supermarket and just buy a normal couple of carrier bags worth of groceries

00:23:27.500 You know, you all know, you all live in the real world, you know

00:23:35.300 British car industry is boosted by new jobs and hybrid electric vehicles

00:23:39.940 we won't take risks with people's living standards you already have you do every

00:23:47.620 single day what are you talking about Andy Burnham says we won't take risks

00:23:52.080 with people's living standards or with the economy as a whole says Prime Minister

00:23:57.100 well it's already largely ruined isn't it it's already largely ruined

00:24:02.680 people's living standards Andy Burnham's Andy Burnham's not an economist is he

00:24:07.760 He's a student activist isn't he really

00:24:10.600 That's what he is first and foremost

00:24:13.020 He's not

00:24:19.620 I don't feel like he's

00:24:22.280 Steeped in the theory of

00:24:24.680 Political economy

00:24:25.660 Is John Healy

00:24:29.320 The Chancellor of the Exchequer

00:24:31.480 Until very recently

00:24:34.560 He wasn't everyone ever talked about

00:24:36.380 In the same breath

00:24:37.100 as being an economics expert but now is chancellor of the exchequer okay chancellor will exercise

00:24:44.560 quote highest degree of prudence quote next next month due to impact of iran war on fuel prices

00:24:52.840 so i have to do that because it's such small writing for me the screens are further away

00:24:58.220 than they used to be right the limit of my eyeballs okay they're blaming the war on iran

00:25:04.820 and fuel prices which is fair enough not completely insane should we have a look at the price of crude

00:25:09.740 right now pretty much right now in fact let's do a refresh a reload we've got the prices in

00:25:15.260 absolute real time okay so a little bit down actually from yesterday frank crude trading at

00:25:20.120 just shy of 104 dollars a barrel west texas just over 100 dollars a barrel down from yesterday

00:25:25.500 was it about 108 yesterday morning friend so it's down a bit down about five dollars

00:25:30.740 but still quite expensive in hovering in and around the classic $100 a barrel mark

00:25:40.140 okay

00:25:42.820 okay capital gains tax is emerging as one of the most likely tax rises in the budget

00:25:57.260 According to economists

00:25:58.680 Yeah, classic lefty Labour thing

00:26:00.180 Capital gains tax

00:26:01.080 That's one of the things they hate the most

00:26:02.920 Isn't it?

00:26:03.700 Lefties

00:26:04.260 Fabians, socialists

00:26:06.120 Marxists, communists

00:26:07.240 It's one of the things they hate the most

00:26:08.380 It's people making money

00:26:09.660 Of their own

00:26:11.040 Capital gains tax

00:26:12.980 What's that you filthy capitalist?

00:26:16.760 You filthy, disgusting Kulak

00:26:19.280 What's that?

00:26:20.400 You've made money?

00:26:22.640 Hand it over

00:26:23.240 What's that?

00:26:29.220 You filthy capitalist

00:26:30.500 Through hard work

00:26:32.480 You've actually generated some wealth

00:26:34.440 Hand it over

00:26:35.640 That belongs to the state now

00:26:38.640 It is that

00:26:43.880 It's pretty much as simple as that

00:26:46.040 Nissan and McLaren

00:26:47.880 Announced £670 million

00:26:49.640 Investments

00:26:53.240 Well, good. Okay. Let's hope the socialists don't decide that they'll just out and out ban old style cars, non-electric style cars.

00:27:06.820 They're trying to ban them, aren't they, basically? I mean, already, at this point in time, already, the targets are.

00:27:13.460 Is it by 2030, car manufacturers are supposed to have, is it 90% or even 100% of all their cars are supposed to be electric?

00:27:23.240 For what reason?

00:27:24.280 Oh, to save the world from fossil fuels.

00:27:27.680 Well, don't you still have to burn fossil fuels to generate the electricity

00:27:30.720 to charge your battery in your electric car?

00:27:34.080 Yeah.

00:27:34.700 So, how does it make sense?

00:27:36.240 Don't worry about it.

00:27:39.020 All right.

00:27:40.200 All right, then.

00:27:42.200 The Metro.

00:27:45.420 CharlieXCX don't care.

00:27:47.440 Okay, they go with the Putney Pusher.

00:27:48.620 The Metro decided the Putney Pusher story is the most important thing in the world.

00:27:53.240 today i could report on anything quite literally anything in the entire world

00:28:00.820 tragedy nine years after bridge uh mystery well i think they've got a tiny clip there look there

00:28:08.640 this is putney bridge this is a bus coming towards us he's jogging that way some woman

00:28:13.800 was in his way and he pushed her out the way and she nearly fell under the bus i don't think she

00:28:16.900 did i can't remember sorry if i've got that wrong try to be as factually accurate as possible

00:28:22.840 pretty sure she didn't fall under the bus and get crushed but

00:28:25.480 anyway there he is he did push her anyway now he's dead putney pusher suspect dead there you go that's

00:28:32.280 it that's it the star pure slot oh they've also decided the putney pusher is the biggest story

00:28:39.040 in the world most important thing you need to know about on this morning is that he's dead now

00:28:45.680 Look, they've got more images

00:28:48.860 But there you go, look, look

00:28:50.440 I think, yeah, she nearly fell under a bus

00:28:52.880 That's alright

00:28:57.680 And that poor little kid that's being

00:28:59.600 That's died in a pond

00:29:01.060 Lovely

00:29:03.100 The Financial Times

00:29:07.220 Not Financial Times

00:29:09.240 Fed raises, a bit of a real story

00:29:11.100 Fed raises rates despite Trump pressure

00:29:13.320 In bid to tame prices

00:29:14.780 First quarter point uplift since 2023

00:29:19.040 So the Federal Reserve has put up interest rates

00:29:21.980 In the United States by a quarter of a point

00:29:24.320 It's not a giant move, is it?

00:29:30.640 War-driven inflation rattles them

00:29:34.340 The war

00:29:36.520 Trump's not happy though

00:29:39.180 Donald's not all that happy about it

00:29:41.260 He doesn't want interest rates to go up just before the midterms

00:29:44.780 He got rid of the last chair of the Federal Reserve didn't he

00:29:50.480 He called him like a loser and a moron

00:29:53.640 Got a new guy in

00:29:55.340 In order to effectively

00:29:57.120 In order to not raise interest rates

00:29:59.040 But now he has anyway

00:30:01.240 I mean the Federal Reserve is supposed to be

00:30:05.500 And largely is

00:30:06.800 Independent of the White House

00:30:09.440 Sort of have to be that's sort of the nature of it

00:30:14.020 Well, it doesn't have to be

00:30:15.520 Central banks have in the past been

00:30:18.340 Completely controlled by the government

00:30:21.320 Both in the United States and Great Britain

00:30:23.640 So it doesn't have to be, but anyway

00:30:25.360 Alright

00:30:26.800 Cash flood

00:30:28.380 Republicans enjoy mega donors backing as billionaires tower over midterms

00:30:33.680 Does the Democrat party not have massive mega donors as well?

00:30:38.720 Yeah, they do, yeah

00:30:39.400 Yeah, they do

00:30:41.720 The Guardian, ooh

00:30:44.980 Guardian, what weirdo

00:30:48.320 What weirdo slop have you got for us this morning, Guardian

00:30:51.660 Well, let's have a look

00:30:53.220 This black woman's dead, never heard of her

00:30:56.180 A true life or false

00:31:00.800 Novelist, playwright and commentator

00:31:03.180 Bonnie Greer dies at 77

00:31:04.940 Never heard of her

00:31:05.940 What plays, what novels

00:31:07.960 What commentary?

00:31:12.900 Never heard of her

00:31:13.800 Prisoners to double up

00:31:20.500 In single prefab jail cell units

00:31:22.680 Because we've run out of

00:31:24.420 Because there's so many foreign people

00:31:25.980 In our prisons

00:31:26.960 That they refuse to deport

00:31:28.680 And now they'll do

00:31:32.280 Prefab prisons

00:31:33.800 Nightingale prisons

00:31:35.620 And you'll have to double up in them

00:31:37.720 What, like double bunk beds, or like bunk beds or something? Oh, God knows.

00:31:43.720 Governors, like jail governors, prison governors,

00:31:47.720 say plan could pose risks to inmates, staff and public.

00:31:53.720 Build another big prison, maybe.

00:31:56.720 Or deport, like the 10,000 at least, foreign nationals that are in our prisons.

00:32:03.720 Do that.

00:32:04.720 Reform politicians linked to far-right protesters

00:32:09.640 So

00:32:11.120 The story is just that

00:32:13.060 Some reform politicians

00:32:14.880 I think actual councillors

00:32:16.300 Have been in some sort of

00:32:19.100 WhatsApp group or Telegram group or something

00:32:20.940 With some of the people that were at the

00:32:23.120 Dover and or Bournemouth

00:32:24.640 Portsmouth

00:32:26.760 Sorry, protests

00:32:28.480 So

00:32:29.160 The Guardian

00:32:32.640 Oh no

00:32:35.800 Oh no, a reform counsellor or whatever

00:32:39.420 Was in a whatsapp group

00:32:41.020 With someone else who didn't do anything wrong

00:32:42.900 Oh no

00:32:43.480 Alright, that's it

00:32:46.040 They're the increasingly absurd and frustrating front pages

00:32:49.040 Of the British print media today

00:32:50.700 Alright, I've got to do more recording today

00:32:55.800 So I might just skip straight on to

00:32:59.000 On this day in history

00:33:01.580 you guys seem to like me doing that bit okay

00:34:20.880 57% of you say yes

00:34:24.240 19% of you say no

00:34:27.080 And 25% of you say maybe

00:34:29.280 Good one in four of you

00:34:31.700 All you know is your gut says maybe

00:34:35.200 I think I'd probably click yes if I was taking that

00:34:39.200 I think I probably would have clicked on the yes

00:34:41.680 I would have either clicked yes or maybe

00:34:45.280 I don't think I would have clicked no

00:34:47.800 It seems like it's coming down the pipeline, pun intended

00:34:53.200 Seems like it's definitely happening

00:34:55.640 Unless the war in Iran ends really quite soon

00:35:01.240 And the Strait of Hormuz becomes completely open again

00:35:04.580 And loads and loads, loads of time and energy is put into rebuilding the oil infrastructure of all those countries

00:35:12.600 Like Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi

00:35:17.620 All that's fixed real quick

00:35:19.780 Then yeah I would have thought

00:35:22.140 I would have thought it's reasonably likely

00:35:24.840 That there will be an oil crisis by 2027

00:35:27.380 Britain should really try and start

00:35:31.500 Their programme of getting crude oil out of the North Sea

00:35:38.440 We should really start doing that

00:35:39.880 Sort of immediately

00:35:41.700 Shouldn't we

00:35:43.600 Okay alright that's the poll today

00:35:45.600 That's the poll today

00:35:47.080 all right let's back to on this day in history quite like that bit my mouse

00:35:53.800 why's my mouse not working harry oh okay there it is okay sorry about that okay

00:36:04.240 17th of september in the year 642 ad arab forces under amir ibn al-az conquers alexandria

00:36:16.920 So that's not long after the death of Muhammad, the Prophet Muhammad, blessings be upon his name.

00:36:25.660 What's the...

00:36:27.060 The death of Muhammad is what, 630 something, isn't it?

00:36:30.680 The early 630s?

00:36:33.360 632 or something?

00:36:35.120 The death of Muhammad.

00:36:35.640 Anyway, it's just interesting to note that just towards the end of his life,

00:36:40.480 And the generation or two after

00:36:45.320 That's when the Islamic hordes

00:36:47.440 The Islamic forces

00:36:48.220 Exploded across the world

00:36:50.120 Well, the ancient world

00:36:52.660 The late antiquity

00:36:56.040 The world of late antiquity

00:36:57.260 Or the 7th century

00:36:58.420 Whatever you want to call it

00:37:00.120 The Dark Ages really

00:37:01.700 I was going to say early medieval period

00:37:03.140 It's the Dark Ages really, classic

00:37:04.400 7th century

00:37:05.720 If anything's the Dark Ages

00:37:07.460 It'd be 7th, 8th, 9th century

00:37:09.700 So yeah, straight out

00:37:11.500 Only like, what, 10 years or so

00:37:13.240 After the death of Muhammad

00:37:14.440 They're conquering Egypt

00:37:16.860 Fully conquering Egypt

00:37:18.620 If you've ever seen a YouTube video

00:37:22.400 Where they do sort of a time lapse

00:37:23.700 Of like the rise and fall of various empires

00:37:26.520 Like the Roman Empire

00:37:27.460 The centuries are ticking by

00:37:28.920 When it gets to the mid

00:37:31.760 The first half, mid 7th century

00:37:34.640 Just suddenly out of Arabia

00:37:36.320 Boom, all the way across

00:37:37.980 Racing across North Africa

00:37:39.800 All the way up the Levant and the Holy Land

00:37:42.180 The Fertile Crescent

00:37:43.000 All the way

00:37:44.640 Long, long way

00:37:46.780 Eastwards as well

00:37:48.560 Into Mesopotamia

00:37:50.320 Persia

00:37:51.180 And on and on

00:37:52.140 Central Asia

00:37:53.580 Crazy

00:37:54.840 Crazy expansion

00:37:55.880 Well the world was sort of exhausted at that point

00:37:58.620 It was ripe for a new invasion

00:38:00.540 If there was a new sort of Mongol invasion

00:38:01.960 Something similar like it

00:38:03.720 The world was ripe to be

00:38:07.980 I was exhausted by that point in the 7th century.

00:38:10.220 All right.

00:38:11.000 The ancient Roman world, I mean, like, the Eastern Roman world, the Byzantine Empire.

00:38:15.940 Low ebb, very, very low ebb at that point.

00:38:17.780 Okay, as was the Persians.

00:38:20.360 All right.

00:38:21.260 On this day in 1683, Dutch scientist Anton van Leeuwenhoek,

00:38:27.900 am I pronounced that correctly?

00:38:29.500 Almost certainly not, is the first to report the existence of bacteria.

00:38:33.040 Yeah, he's an interesting guy.

00:38:34.420 He was working with lenses, right?

00:38:37.980 A microscope, when in that period, around the time of Newton and Galileo and stuff,

00:38:46.180 you can grind lenses and manipulate light as never before, and magnify things.

00:38:52.660 And it was used immediately, almost immediately, to one, look up at the sky, and the stars, and the moons, and the celestial dome.

00:39:01.900 And also look down at small things.

00:39:04.680 And we discovered

00:39:08.520 Oh

00:39:08.900 There's a whole world

00:39:11.580 Of living things

00:39:13.440 In a drop of water

00:39:14.700 How remarkable

00:39:17.660 We didn't know before

00:39:18.860 A whole world of creatures

00:39:27.080 Swarming and seething

00:39:29.220 In a drop of water

00:39:30.660 But there's such a thing as bacteria

00:39:32.200 Tiny creatures

00:39:33.420 Tiny protozoa and things

00:39:35.740 All over the place

00:39:37.240 Our skins crawling with tiny things

00:39:40.600 Interesting, isn't it?

00:39:47.000 1683, there you go

00:39:48.300 Okay, on this day in 1787

00:39:50.660 The US Constitution is signed by delegates

00:39:55.720 At the Philadelphia Convention

00:39:57.700 Isn't that interesting to note?

00:39:59.060 I've got all sorts of long-form content

00:40:00.260 About the War of Independence

00:40:02.440 the American Revolutionary War

00:40:05.020 and all the people

00:40:06.440 who've got long-form content

00:40:07.360 all about George Washington

00:40:09.940 one all about Thomas Jefferson

00:40:12.120 one all about Alexander Hamilton

00:40:15.200 I'm fascinated by this period

00:40:19.000 I'm an Anglo-American myself, aren't I?

00:40:23.000 My father was born and raised

00:40:24.380 in the great state of Oregon

00:40:25.780 go Ducks

00:40:26.300 fascinated by American history

00:40:29.220 isn't it interesting to note

00:40:30.600 that the US Constitution is sort of ratified

00:40:34.440 and becomes a thing properly in 1787.

00:40:41.640 Remember the war was in 1776, wasn't it?

00:40:46.160 11 years later you get the Constitution.

00:40:50.840 11 years.

00:40:52.520 Yeah, there's a whole long story,

00:40:56.000 a deep rabbit hole about why that is.

00:40:59.340 Why is it 11 years later?

00:41:02.520 Well, for a start, the actual war didn't end in 1776.

00:41:06.840 But nonetheless, it's quite a few years after the war ended,

00:41:11.940 before you've got the Constitution,

00:41:13.740 there's lots and lots of politicking going on.

00:41:17.740 Lots of wrangling and politicking.

00:41:20.840 I have to do Franklin.

00:41:24.600 I have to do a long-form bit of content about Benjamin Franklin.

00:41:28.680 fascinating person

00:41:30.340 actually one about John Adams as well

00:41:32.220 in fact if I've already done

00:41:33.000 I don't think I've done long form content about John Adams

00:41:36.700 if I was to do another two

00:41:38.660 I would do

00:41:40.360 John Adams and Benjamin Franklin

00:41:42.200 key

00:41:44.340 key figures

00:41:45.300 I mean in my opinion

00:41:47.820 Jefferson is probably the key

00:41:49.520 people argue about that

00:41:53.140 I think Jefferson is sort of the key

00:41:54.760 figure anyway

00:41:55.800 1787 the US Constitution

00:41:58.460 A bit later than most people think

00:42:00.560 If you ever remind them of that

00:42:02.300 They're like, really?

00:42:04.440 Okay

00:42:04.700 What else have we got?

00:42:07.020 On this day in 1862

00:42:08.500 It's the Battle of Antietam

00:42:09.620 Some call it the South, don't they?

00:42:11.400 They call it the Battle of Sharpsburg

00:42:12.900 It's the bloodiest day in the American Civil War

00:42:15.500 With 22,000 dead

00:42:17.300 Wounded and missing

00:42:18.540 In the first major battle on Union soil

00:42:21.180 Yeah, Antietam

00:42:22.260 That's a bad one

00:42:24.360 That's what industrial war can do

00:42:28.460 Historians sort of argue about what was the first modern war.

00:42:35.460 Some say it was the Boer War, the second Boer War.

00:42:40.460 Some say it was the Crimean War.

00:42:44.460 Some say it's the American Civil War.

00:42:47.460 Where you've got precision-engineered artillery pieces en masse.

00:42:53.460 You've got guns with rifled barrels.

00:42:58.460 You've got mass-produced ammo.

00:43:01.540 It's not like the Polionic War,

00:43:03.200 where everything's sort of handmade, the early 19th century.

00:43:06.020 Everything's kind of handmade and a bit slapdash,

00:43:08.800 a bit thrown together, and you haven't necessarily got,

00:43:11.540 well, you haven't got production lines

00:43:14.580 pumping out precision-engineered cannons and cannonball, really.

00:43:20.840 Well, by 1862 in the United States, you have got those things.

00:43:24.500 and the net result of it all

00:43:26.780 is that in the space

00:43:29.040 of moments, almost moments

00:43:31.000 thousands of men can be

00:43:32.920 mown down

00:43:33.560 and that's what happened

00:43:37.760 at Antietam

00:43:40.760 at Gettysburg

00:43:43.500 at Gettysburg

00:43:48.120 number of battles

00:43:49.520 Antietam was a bad one

00:43:51.360 real bad one

00:43:54.500 What's it at Antietam?

00:43:56.420 Apologies if I get this wrong, it's been a while.

00:43:58.760 I've got long form content about Grant as well,

00:44:00.520 Ulysses S. Grant, Mr. Lincoln's butcher.

00:44:02.980 Went on to be president in his own right after the war, of course.

00:44:05.940 I think Antietam, if I recall, if memory serves,

00:44:08.140 apologies if I've got it wrong.

00:44:10.600 The South ambushed the Union, effectively,

00:44:14.420 and Grant was there, Grant was in control.

00:44:18.760 And he did his best, but they got the drop on him.

00:44:24.500 and they mowed down a whole bunch

00:44:27.780 and then the Union Army was expected to retreat

00:44:30.580 and run away from that

00:44:31.760 as they had always done in the past

00:44:34.380 when served up a stiff challenge by the Confederacy

00:44:41.140 but Grant didn't

00:44:42.860 Grant and Sherman was like

00:44:45.300 no, we're going to stand our ground here

00:44:46.980 and do it again tomorrow

00:44:48.660 was it after the first day at Antietam

00:44:53.620 where Grant was

00:44:55.280 found sitting under a tree

00:44:58.160 by

00:44:58.480 by Sherman

00:45:02.200 where Sherman said, hell of a day, eh?

00:45:08.120 Grant was like, yep.

00:45:09.540 We'll lick them tomorrow, though.

00:45:12.080 I believe that's correct.

00:45:15.320 Antietam, terrible.

00:45:16.100 A scene of horror, really.

00:45:17.620 A scene of horror.

00:45:20.300 A charnel house.

00:45:21.420 A shambles

00:45:23.720 A modern battlefield

00:45:28.720 Terrific

00:45:30.640 Alright

00:45:32.240 On this day in 1916

00:45:34.200 World War I flying ace

00:45:35.540 The Red Baron

00:45:36.320 Of the German

00:45:40.040 How do you pronounce that?

00:45:42.880 Luftstrikecraft

00:45:43.640 World War I era

00:45:46.740 German Air Force

00:45:47.900 Baron von Richthofen

00:45:50.920 I don't know why they haven't put that there, but the Red Baron, Von Richthofen, wins his

00:45:54.320 first aerial combat near Cambrai in France.

00:45:57.800 He went on to win dozens, dozens and dozens of aerial combats, but in the end, right near

00:46:02.160 the end of the war, was himself shot down and killed, Von Richthofen.

00:46:07.880 I've told this story a number of times because I think it's a great story.

00:46:11.920 A normal army general came to Richthofen once and said, how have you won dozens and dozens

00:46:16.760 and dozens of aerial combats, when usually people go up and they might win one or two

00:46:22.740 by chance, but it's such a chaotic thing that even the best of the best only survive a few

00:46:28.700 before someone else gets them.

00:46:30.800 How have you survived dozens and dozens and dozens?

00:46:33.680 And von Richthofen says, I can tell you, but you won't like the answer, because the army

00:46:38.000 general wanted to take whatever Richthofen said and apply it to the Western Front.

00:46:43.560 And the Red Baron said, I can tell you, but you won't like the answer

00:46:47.920 And the General said, tell me that

00:46:50.960 He said, well, whenever I think I can't win or won't win

00:46:54.260 I just simply fly away

00:46:55.780 Well

00:47:02.120 Apart from being very, very early 20th century standards

00:47:06.960 That's a little bit cowardly

00:47:08.220 It's not, it's just prudent

00:47:09.420 Apart from that

00:47:11.700 you can't just run away when you're engaged in sort of static trench warfare, can you?

00:47:16.840 You can't do that, that's not an option.

00:47:19.300 So the army general wasn't best pleased with that answer.

00:47:22.680 In the end, well, his luck ran out, didn't he, when Ricktoven it did run out.

00:47:25.480 He was killed in his plane before the end of the war.

00:47:29.500 On this day in 1940, Adolf Hitler indefinitely postpones Operation Sea Lion,

00:47:38.460 the planned German invasion of Great Britain.

00:47:40.180 Yeah, because he'd lost the Battle of Britain, really.

00:47:44.260 And he had to get on with Operation Barbarossa.

00:47:48.260 That was his calculation.

00:47:52.060 Stalin's Soviet Union was more of a threat than Mr. Churchill's Great Britain.

00:47:56.200 Much more of a threat, in Hitler's mind.

00:47:58.740 Well, it was.

00:48:00.880 So, the window of time when Operation Sea Lion, the actual invasion of Great Britain,

00:48:04.840 The window of opportunity for that had passed by September the 17th, 1940

00:48:11.060 A few dozen pillboxes we'd built in across South East England

00:48:18.200 Weren't needed

00:48:20.240 After all

00:48:22.480 Okay, on this day in 1978

00:48:25.000 Anwar Sadat, Menachem Begin and Jimmy Carter

00:48:29.480 Signed the Camp David Accords

00:48:31.120 Frameworks for peace in the Middle East

00:48:33.700 And between Egypt and Israel

00:48:34.960 How'd that work out?

00:48:36.260 How'd that work out, Sadat?

00:48:47.180 Did that work out for Sadat

00:48:48.900 About as well as it worked out

00:48:50.840 A few years later for Yitzhak Rabin?

00:48:56.180 Yeah, his own people murdered him

00:48:57.980 Yeah, yeah

00:48:58.600 Anwar Sadat, the leader of Egypt

00:49:02.720 After Nasser

00:49:04.380 And the Americans tried to make

00:49:07.040 Egypt and Israel

00:49:09.520 Do a peace deal

00:49:11.120 Sort of forces them to

00:49:13.320 At the Camp David Accords

00:49:14.720 But

00:49:15.900 The Egyptian people decided

00:49:20.680 Well, a faction of them

00:49:22.200 Decided, oh well, that's a death penalty

00:49:24.940 For Sadat

00:49:26.960 And he was murdered

00:49:27.980 Assassinated

00:49:30.100 Sitting out in public

00:49:31.760 Like a few years later

00:49:32.700 1981 or something

00:49:33.580 Sitting out like

00:49:35.040 There's a parade

00:49:35.560 Some sort of parade

00:49:36.340 Or something rather

00:49:37.020 And he's sitting out in public

00:49:38.180 And Egyptian terrorists

00:49:40.700 Just sort of

00:49:41.380 Walk up to him

00:49:42.100 Blast him

00:49:42.600 For trying to make peace

00:49:46.800 The Camp David Awards

00:49:51.240 The Camp David Awards

00:49:53.660 The Camp David Accords

00:49:56.180 Yeah

00:49:56.620 Just one more example of when the rest of the world, the United States, have tried to

00:50:02.200 broker peace in the Middle East, and they just won't have it.

00:50:07.000 They refuse to have it.

00:50:09.440 They won't do it.

00:50:11.480 Both sides.

00:50:12.600 Both sides.

00:50:16.860 All right.

00:50:17.500 Let's look at our Rumble Rants and Super Chats.

00:50:20.420 Let me do this with my mic so I can see the left-hand side of my screen.

00:50:23.980 All right.

00:50:24.500 Is it going to be a good day for the Rumble Rants?

00:51:01.980 Alright

00:51:02.340 Yeah I'm alright thanks mate

00:51:03.580 Yeah I'm not too bad

00:51:04.420 Yourself

00:51:04.740 He says

00:51:06.620 What do you think about

00:51:07.940 The interest rate rises

00:51:09.100 By the European Central Bank

00:51:11.580 And the Fed

00:51:12.160 Canada

00:51:13.320 Canada joining the EU

00:51:15.020 And Scott Irish Welsh

00:51:16.540 Succession

00:51:18.180 More pressure on Donald

00:51:20.780 J Trump

00:51:21.820 At midterms

00:51:22.840 Or something else

00:51:23.540 Well there's a

00:51:24.220 God there's a load of questions there

00:51:25.480 there's a whole bunch of questions, let's take them one at a time

00:51:28.440 what do I think of the interest rate rises by the European Central Bank and the Fed

00:51:31.880 well they're just trying to

00:51:33.480 they're trying to do what they can to curb inflation, that's what that is

00:51:37.740 I don't think it's necessarily some sort of

00:51:40.460 moustache twirling exercise to stick it to the Donald

00:51:43.480 I don't know, they're trying to do their job

00:51:46.900 okay, what do I think of Canada joining the EU

00:51:50.140 and they're not actually going to join the EU are they

00:51:51.960 it's just whether they've got closer tyres going forward or not i mean on one level it's absurd absurd

00:52:00.680 to me it's like israel being in uh in in part of europe in some way in like the what is it the um

00:52:10.440 the uh the euro song contest or do they part of uefa it's like well you're not part of europe

00:52:16.600 though canada's not part of europe though but they were never they're not actually going to join the

00:52:21.080 eu but so on one level it is absurd on the other on another level i don't don't care i don't want

00:52:26.440 anything to do with the european project they've not could have treaties with them and trading of

00:52:32.600 course but like if they want to accept canada in or not that's up to them it's up to them that's

00:52:38.920 how i feel about it and what's the other question and the irish welsh succession well i've said a

00:52:43.640 number of times i said on state of politics the other day state politics and i've said a number

00:52:47.800 of times on here and on the main podcast i'm a lukewarm unionist the way i'm a lukewarm monarchist

00:52:53.880 got all sorts of concerns about it the monarchy and the union but i'm i'm for it ultimately

00:53:03.640 you know i've got a lot of sympathy for just straight up english nationalists people like

00:53:07.480 graham moore you know you know grandma and and the english democrat party robin tilbrook

00:53:13.720 I've got lots and lots of sympathy for them

00:53:16.120 I feel myself aligned to them very closely

00:53:18.360 Very, very closely

00:53:19.340 If the union were to break up

00:53:21.500 If Scotland and Wales and all the union were to all take votes

00:53:24.240 Referendums and decide to leave

00:53:25.620 And it was just England now

00:53:27.180 I wouldn't be crying into my pint about it

00:53:29.260 Well, you're alright, let's get on with it then

00:53:30.980 Yeah, good, England then, fine

00:53:32.500 However, I am a lukewarm unionist

00:53:34.980 I would rather

00:53:35.760 I do feel like we are stronger and better together

00:53:38.460 That's my feeling on that

00:53:41.440 That's my feeling on that

00:53:42.340 okay um then you put what more pressure on donald j trump at midterms or something else i think

00:53:49.840 they're just all different things i think they're just all different things really i mean they're

00:53:53.720 connected and stuff but yeah okay there is another uh rumble right here oh it's global church history

00:54:01.060 it's global church history good all right then how are you sir all good i hope

00:54:08.080 Oh good I hope

00:54:09.500 He says

00:54:10.000 Too early again

00:54:11.460 Ah

00:54:11.840 Is it two or even three days

00:54:13.320 In a row

00:54:13.800 Or this week

00:54:14.380 Global church issues

00:54:15.420 Too early

00:54:16.440 If you send in your rubble rant

00:54:18.240 Too early

00:54:18.760 It doesn't

00:54:19.180 For some reason

00:54:19.940 It doesn't show up on my screen

00:54:20.920 So

00:54:21.600 He's too

00:54:23.280 Efficient and good

00:54:25.160 At his job

00:54:26.300 Of being first

00:54:28.640 On the

00:54:30.480 Bo Show rubble rants

00:54:31.660 That's his job

00:54:33.220 Okay

00:54:36.460 Usually gives us two factoids

00:54:39.160 On this day in history factoids

00:54:40.120 Let's see what we've got today

00:54:40.980 He says

00:54:41.640 Today in 14 AD

00:54:43.020 Is this going to be something about Augustus?

00:54:44.800 Today in 14 AD

00:54:45.740 Tiberius asked

00:54:47.080 Well it must have been

00:54:47.600 Just after Augustus died

00:54:49.040 His successor Tiberius

00:54:50.620 His stepson

00:54:51.120 Tiberius asked the Senate

00:54:53.640 To confirm him as Augustus' successor

00:54:55.880 Right yeah

00:54:57.720 That's personally

00:54:58.840 This is just a pure personal historical opinion

00:55:01.420 I date the end of the Republic

00:55:04.580 As then

00:55:05.340 Pretty much that

00:55:06.240 point in time different people say it's all different people say the moment sulla marched

00:55:11.260 on rome is the end of the republic most people say there's the battle of actium lots of people

00:55:15.540 say well maybe it's when nero or maybe when caligula murdered loads of the senate maybe

00:55:21.760 it's when vespasian took over as a military emperor so maybe it was maybe you could say it's as late

00:55:27.180 as um like

00:55:31.420 diocletian and the end of the principate entirely in the end of the start of a whole new

00:55:40.140 type of government in the third century after the crisis of the third century that dominate

00:55:45.100 some period as late as that some argue i think this is a silly argument but some arguing

00:55:50.700 that the republic never died and in fact all the way up to the end of uh the byzantine empire

00:55:57.060 in 1453 there was still a roman republic some people make that argument myself personally

00:56:02.820 but some people say when caesar julius caesar his dictatorship that was the end of the republic at

00:56:09.300 that point personally i put it at the point in time when augustus handed over all his powers

00:56:16.660 augustus octavian had collected nearly all well all the important powers of the state into one

00:56:23.700 person into his own person powers of the tribune the powers of the most important all of it

00:56:29.700 together in his into one man himself then when he died that was transferred as a package to

00:56:38.540 Tiberius just like a monarchy exactly like a hereditary monarchy for me at that point that

00:56:44.980 was when the last vestige of the republic died I can't call it a republic from that moment on

00:56:50.200 i mean it's a shadow of a shadow of a republic under augustus at that point when that package

00:56:58.260 of powers was handed on as though it was a hereditary title to tiberius for me there's

00:57:03.860 no more republic the last tiny 0.001 percent of a republic no longer existed in my mind that's my

00:57:10.420 opinion could i talk about this for a long long time have i got loads and loads of long-form

00:57:16.520 content talking all about Augustus and Tiberius and all the other things I've mentioned about

00:57:20.680 Sulla, Caligula, Nero, Vespasian, Diocletian. I think I've got a long form content on my

00:57:30.040 history theme show, O'Day's e-box behind the paywall and lotus-seaters.com. Do consider

00:57:33.880 to sign up for a £5 a month bronze team membership. Quite literally hundreds and hundreds of hours of

00:57:38.280 history theme content, a body of work built up over five years. Yeah, it's all there, it's all there.

00:57:41.960 it's all there five pound a month not a bad deal okay we'll talk about that for ages let's move

00:57:51.180 on let's move on all right on this day global church history second factor it says that on

00:57:57.240 this day in 1630 boston was founded by merging the massachusetts colonies of

00:58:03.220 Timountaine

00:58:06.480 and Shormat

00:58:08.520 Okay, I did not know that

00:58:10.280 That's interesting, that's new to me

00:58:25.860 There is now another

00:58:26.920 another rumble rant, it's from

00:58:29.140 Pigdog5150, who says

00:58:30.740 Baroness Rosal Marie Rosie

00:58:34.800 Boycott

00:58:36.320 Sorry, my screen's just gone a bit crazy there

00:58:41.840 Okay

00:58:43.880 Co-founder of feminist magazine Spare Rib

00:58:46.560 And publisher Virago Press

00:58:50.000 Editor of men's magazine Esquire

00:58:52.600 Independent Daily Express

00:58:54.160 That's it, that's all you said

00:58:57.400 Oh no, sorry, dot, dot, dot

00:58:58.600 And then you've got another one

00:58:59.660 It says

00:59:00.420 She gave a talk at a regenerative farming event I was at

00:59:05.120 Complaining about men and capitalism

00:59:07.200 And yet she said she was happy to work with Boris

00:59:09.780 So he could get good green headlines

00:59:12.440 Yeah, these people are scum and filth

00:59:14.080 Yeah, these people are subversive

00:59:16.100 They're insane

00:59:16.780 On some level

00:59:17.560 They've lost their minds

00:59:19.880 They've lost all perspective

00:59:20.920 Yeah

00:59:25.480 She's Baroness

00:59:28.460 Oh, I would

00:59:29.260 In Bowes Britain

00:59:30.420 In Bowes Britain

00:59:31.700 There would be a profound clear out

00:59:34.220 Of the House of Lords

00:59:35.140 Clear amount

00:59:36.300 A lot of them

00:59:37.700 A lot

00:59:38.480 There's a lot of subversives

00:59:40.660 In the House of Lords

00:59:41.840 Over the last couple of generations

00:59:44.520 They've just been handing them out

00:59:45.960 To all sorts of crazy people

00:59:48.320 In my opinion

00:59:49.580 Yeah

00:59:51.500 I'd pass an Act of Parliament

00:59:53.000 I suppose it would require

00:59:54.020 In order to strip the House of Lords

00:59:57.100 Of the dozens

00:59:57.960 dozens and dozens of people who've got no right being there don't belong there

01:00:04.120 okay they keep ticking in now in rumble rents the next one is from

01:00:11.200 merrick mel or me rick mel so just one word say merrick mel says what's your what's your state

01:00:22.360 Watched your state of politics chat

01:00:24.900 State of politics

01:00:25.620 On nationalisation

01:00:27.540 Britain should encourage

01:00:29.920 Great British conglomerates

01:00:31.560 With multiple businesses

01:00:32.740 That's better than letting Chinese

01:00:34.940 Indian

01:00:35.800 French

01:00:37.380 Italian companies

01:00:38.500 Own our industry

01:00:40.740 Yeah

01:00:41.180 Yeah

01:00:42.040 You put

01:00:43.240 Look at Tartar

01:00:44.300 If JRL is weak

01:00:47.040 Tartar

01:00:47.620 Electronics can thrive

01:00:49.820 Exporting more iPhone

01:00:51.660 I don't know exactly what you mean by that last bit

01:00:55.300 But

01:00:55.460 Yeah

01:00:57.600 I said in that video if anyone hasn't watched

01:00:59.560 Nationalisation of things is a classic lefty thing to do isn't it

01:01:04.580 Classic lefty thing

01:01:06.340 There's nothing wrong with it necessarily

01:01:08.780 In and of itself

01:01:09.860 No

01:01:12.300 If it's a choice between that

01:01:15.200 Or it's just owned by a Chinese company

01:01:18.300 That deliberately runs it into the ground

01:01:20.320 owned by some indian company that just deliberately asset strips it and runs it into the ground

01:01:25.920 well i'd rather have that industry that company nationalized then surely

01:01:30.780 if they're your options it's a binary option between those two things but as merrick mel

01:01:37.120 says why not encourage great british conglomerates yeah that would be better wouldn't it that'd be

01:01:43.180 even better wouldn't it yeah all right pig dog again says she moaned about a new owner of the

01:01:53.800 express wanted it to include uh pretty sexy ladies but she didn't mention to the crowd

01:01:58.920 about her being editor for esquire she was correct about globalist core cause

01:02:04.380 and then you've put but she thinks capitalism is just about making profit

01:02:10.740 and all the crunchy liberal white females clapped for her yeah like idiot seals you can clap now

01:02:19.540 for something that is insane fortunately most of the male farmers there had the sense to

01:02:27.620 realize she was mad yeah i'm done with god damn boomers champagne socialists and their feminism

01:02:34.980 and their globalism, done with it

01:02:36.860 we tried that, we tried all of that

01:02:39.260 haven't we

01:02:40.580 for a generation or more now, we've tried all of that

01:02:43.000 nonsense and it failed

01:02:45.160 it was a disaster

01:02:46.200 it was a disaster

01:02:47.980 the boom of

01:02:51.020 champagne socialism, feminist

01:02:53.340 feminism and globalism

01:02:55.060 it was terrible

01:02:56.100 across the board

01:02:57.620 just shuffle off now, you had your time

01:03:01.020 on the stage

01:03:02.940 of history and you messed it all up with nonsense. Right. Merrick Mel, is it me, Rick Mel, again

01:03:13.460 says, also building semiconductors. This diversification project jobs builds resilience and gives Britain

01:03:24.300 more strategic economic power. India understood this long ago. Britain should too. Yeah, good

01:03:28.820 point yeah completely agree yeah so like get rid of your own heavy industry your own ability to

01:03:34.200 manufacture things was always mad and insane yeah yeah absolutely right and one last one here from

01:03:40.060 pig dogs just ticked in suddenly they're all ticking in on rumble rants but pig dog says

01:03:44.900 sadly there are so many women like her and also weak men who agree with her in power

01:03:49.740 or useless men like boris who will give her power she said being editor of the express gave her so

01:03:55.200 much power yeah all that needs to change yeah with third wave third wave feminists or even more

01:04:04.240 extreme versions of that should be told to sit down and be quiet now love you had your go and

01:04:11.360 it was ruinous it was ruinous particularly for women particularly for women you've empowered

01:04:17.880 them have you have you it's really empowering to have an office career that you hate and no children

01:06:19.260 oh there is just one more thing sir it just bothers me it's a small detail so

01:06:26.920 Detective Bo does a true crime segment

01:06:30.860 Also included

01:06:32.680 In Cargon's very reasonably priced

01:06:36.700 Paywall subscription now

01:06:38.740 Well a show called

01:06:42.080 Columbo but it's actually just me

01:06:44.680 Not doing an impression of Columbo

01:06:46.220 Yes Lieutenant

01:06:49.960 What is it this time Columbo

01:06:52.380 Me just

01:06:54.260 Doing a true crime segment

01:06:57.480 segments or i could just do an epoch from time to time which is just a collection of

01:07:02.280 very very interesting true crime stories down through the uh down through the centuries

01:07:07.080 i could do that i should do that it's not a bad idea i don't think a whole show

01:07:11.400 like a whole new show colombo but i could i could do uh could do an epoch from time to time about it

01:07:21.160 i've done one or two before where they're sort of similar-ish to that

01:07:26.920 Anyway, it's not a bad idea.

01:07:28.160 Not a bad idea.

01:07:29.120 Okay, next one here is Zero Hermann the Tosser.

01:07:33.900 That's what it is.

01:07:35.280 That's what that says.

01:07:36.600 Zero hyphen Hermann the Tosser.

01:07:40.660 He said, have you seen, have you heard the exciting news

01:07:44.360 from Great Yarmouth this past week?

01:07:55.940 and for the third time in a row beardy weirdy rob was declared the winner so i think i don't know

01:08:02.260 if it's you or not but before other people have mentioned beardy weirdy rob or something like

01:08:05.980 that i don't know who that is i've never spent the time to just quickly google it maybe i'll

01:08:11.180 do that this morning today who is beardy weirdy rob he just got a fantastic beard

01:08:17.480 almost certainly what it is okay let's keep going here need to finish up sooner rather

01:08:24.600 later this morning romaboo 42 says salve who was your favorite heir of tiberius

01:08:35.160 or like the next julio claudians is that what you mean so what you've got caligula claudius

01:08:45.900 and then nero just you mean them claudius is nero and caligula near yeah nero and caligula are both

01:08:54.600 Insane. I think clinically insane. Certainly Caligula is clinically insane.

01:09:00.540 Terrible, terrible titles.

01:09:02.520 So I suppose Claudius, by default, I've got to pick Claudius.

01:09:06.200 Derek Jacobi.

01:09:08.320 So, is that what you mean?

01:09:09.820 Yeah, you've just put, who was your favourite heir of Tiberius?

01:09:14.820 Do you mean maybe any emperor after Tiberius?

01:09:20.560 I'm a big fan of Trajan.

01:09:22.040 So I've got a whole number of them

01:09:23.740 I've got a whole number of ones

01:09:25.000 Vespasian is very, very interesting

01:09:26.300 Trajan

01:09:27.340 I love the story of Trajan

01:09:29.240 I will do the story of Trajan on Epochs at some point

01:09:31.940 Well, I'll do them all at some point

01:09:33.100 I got up to

01:09:34.520 I did the Year of the Four Emperors

01:09:36.140 I did all of them

01:09:37.340 All of the Judeo-Claudians

01:09:39.420 And then I did one on the Year of the Four Emperors

01:09:41.720 And I don't think I've continued that

01:09:44.780 I.e. with Vespasian

01:09:46.140 And then Titus

01:09:46.980 And then Domitian

01:09:47.560 But at some point I will

01:09:49.280 I will definitely do that

01:09:50.520 Keep going

01:09:51.220 Trajan's one of my favourites

01:09:53.680 But if it's just the Julio Claudians

01:09:56.120 Then I suppose Claudius

01:09:57.140 Alright, next one is from Tatum

01:09:59.960 Who says

01:10:00.540 Now my belief is fashionable

01:10:03.740 But I was first

01:10:05.200 In thinking there's just going to be a

01:10:09.980 Global oil crisis

01:10:11.860 It may well be

01:10:13.800 Okay, Tiger

01:10:15.200 T-Y-G-R-8, Tiger says

01:10:18.260 um i'll swap in for global church history put me in coach just give me a chance coach yeah okay

01:10:27.720 pardon me all right and the last two here chas face person's called themselves chas face there

01:10:37.320 you've they've said if you could choose to live in any point in history what period and where

01:10:43.740 would you choose love the show by the way keep up the good work as always thank you that's a classic

01:10:48.540 question uh a historian nerd gets asked all the time classic thing can sit down in the pub and

01:10:53.240 just chat about that for a whole evening i've got two answers to that i've been asked it loads of

01:10:57.760 times two answers there's the real honest sort of serious sort of boring answer which is if i get to

01:11:03.860 choose where in history i choose as close to present as possible because of modern plumbing

01:11:12.020 and medical science and dentistry.

01:11:16.660 I don't want to live in a world

01:11:18.040 where you can't get numbed up for dentistry.

01:11:21.060 I don't want to live in that world.

01:11:23.080 I don't want to live in a world where

01:11:24.800 you get something minorly wrong with you,

01:11:28.300 like a burst appendix or something, anything,

01:11:30.160 and you just die of it.

01:11:31.260 I don't want to live in that world.

01:11:32.540 I don't want to live in a world

01:11:33.460 where there's not just painkillers and anesthetics and stuff.

01:11:38.900 Simple operations, you're almost certainly going to survive.

01:11:42.020 so that's that's the real life honest proper proper honest boring answer

01:11:47.140 the more romantic answer of just when would you you know not taking all of that into account

01:11:54.340 i would like to see the ancient well the classical ancient world

01:12:00.880 i'd quite like to see the athens of pericles

01:12:03.820 i'd say the the athens of pericles just before the plague just before the peloponnesian war

01:12:10.260 kicks off. That'd be quite cool. I'd like to see first century AD Rome. I'd like to see the Rome

01:12:18.540 of Augustus. Yeah. I'd like to see the Rome of Augustus. I'd like to see the Rome of about 100

01:12:29.240 years later, 120 years later, the Rome during the age of Trajan or Hadrian. It's supposed to be

01:12:34.820 another golden age the rome under sort of the antonians or hadrian that would be cool

01:12:41.620 i'd like to see a higher medieval period i'd like to see the tudor cult right henry

01:12:46.100 the eighth or probably maybe elizabeth the queen best elizabeth the first

01:12:51.780 like the middle 16th century the 16 sorry 15 16th century 1500 to 15 60s 1570s 1580s that tudor cult

01:13:04.820 There's so many.

01:13:05.920 There's so many.

01:13:07.200 But the real and boring answer is,

01:13:09.480 I don't want to live any time before modern dentistry,

01:13:12.020 if nothing else.

01:13:14.780 Before antibiotics.

01:13:16.480 You just get a slight lung infection.

01:13:18.160 That's it, you die.

01:13:19.180 You might die.

01:13:21.600 Get some sort of skin complaint,

01:13:23.420 and that's it, you just live with that now forever.

01:13:27.200 You can't just go down boots and get some sort of cream.

01:13:30.420 No, no, you just live with some sort of terrible thing now.

01:13:32.560 Yeah, I don't

01:13:34.760 I wouldn't really want to live in that world

01:13:36.360 Okay

01:13:37.020 Good question though

01:13:38.540 Classic question

01:13:39.140 Love it

01:13:40.000 Only scratched the surface there

01:13:41.980 Oh, we could talk about that all evening

01:14:44.760 20 odd years after the battle of hastings oh yeah it's all there it's all there

01:14:49.720 classic classic stuff okay tatum again says you decide when i've won and i'll dm a chapter

01:14:59.600 or some volume one is done but probably no publishing not mass appeal work maybe a few

01:15:08.760 copies made okay fair enough I will I will happy to concede well not happy or happy to concede the

01:15:14.920 thing in and of itself I won't be happy because it will mean there's a global crisis maybe even

01:15:22.280 maybe even like a full global economic collapse maybe even systems failure people starving to

01:15:29.880 death yeah okay next one here Carmichael cookie dough footjob that's what they've called themselves

01:15:40.960 Carmichael underscore cookie dough underscore footjob says I just now got here why is the king

01:15:54.280 what what on earth um it's not really in hot water all it is is the earl spencer

01:16:02.560 diana's brother claimed he was a bit heartless in the immediate aftermath of diana's death that's it

01:16:09.860 It's not like a constitutional crisis

01:16:15.240 Okay, CG Mams says

01:16:18.800 De-industrialisation pushed men into stupid jobs

01:16:22.440 Everyone who backed it should be ashamed

01:16:26.380 Our welfare bill is 330B

01:16:31.300 We could have protected industries

01:16:33.660 Yeah, de-industrialisation was not a good idea

01:16:37.180 I mean, I agree with you there, yeah

01:16:39.860 Those that can manufacture things

01:16:42.160 There's two camps aren't there

01:16:43.480 Those that can manufacture things and those that can't

01:16:45.180 A bit like two camps those that are energy self sufficient

01:16:48.040 And those that aren't

01:16:49.140 Yeah you want to be in the camp that can

01:16:52.140 Yeah
