00:01:26.180 of fannying around for one morning let's just get straight into it what have we got here what's the

00:01:30.940 legacy corporate lamestream media banging on about this morning what are they trying to lie to us

00:01:34.360 about by omission what's that cabal of evil quite frankly evil fleet street editors trying to tell

00:01:38.900 us it isn't important we've got harry's coming home not harry kane that's harry saxcomber gotha harry

00:01:44.340 Windsor. Prince Harry and his annoying wife are apparently going to move back to Britain.

00:01:54.080 We'll get into it. It's on a lot of the papers. One of the main things in the news cycle this

00:01:56.820 morning. And day trip tragedy. Do you remember yesterday we brought to you the tragic story

00:02:04.720 of a family of four that got in difficulty in the sea? Was it off the coast of Sussex,

00:02:10.320 Was it? Three of them died

00:02:12.040 And one of the girls, one of the daughters

00:02:13.740 Was struggling for her life

00:02:14.920 They're Palestinian refugees

00:02:18.300 Okay, this is the news

00:02:24.220 This is the news, right, the Daily Telegraph

00:02:27.920 The Toregraph

00:02:28.780 Zionist slop, now

00:02:30.920 Harry's coming home

00:02:33.800 Don't care, don't care

00:02:35.100 I'll leave it to Dan Whitton, no shade at Dan Whitton

00:02:37.380 I like Dan Whitton, but I'll leave it to others to talk about the royal family

00:02:40.100 I do not care

00:02:41.420 In fact

00:02:42.440 Actually having said that

00:02:43.420 I care slightly

00:02:45.080 Because I would rather

00:02:46.320 They stayed in California

00:02:47.540 Thinking about heading out

00:02:48.820 California way

00:02:49.460 I

00:02:49.960 You know

00:02:50.780 I'd rather they stay there

00:02:51.740 Because there's less of them

00:02:52.680 In our news then

00:02:54.100 Surely when they come back

00:02:57.420 Him and her will be

00:02:58.700 In the news more

00:02:59.960 Like significantly more

00:03:01.780 Every tiny thing they do

00:03:03.740 It's been six years

00:03:06.300 It doesn't seem that long does it

00:03:07.220 Six years since they

00:03:08.120 Buggered off

00:03:09.640 That was nice

00:03:12.600 That was a bit of a respite from it all

00:03:14.620 Felt like

00:03:15.720 If now and again you get a little bit of Kate Middleton

00:03:19.140 Opening something

00:03:20.080 Opening a supermarket or hospital wing

00:03:22.720 Or something

00:03:23.200 You get a nice picture of radiant Kate Middleton

00:03:27.100 That'll do, I'll leave it at that

00:03:28.380 That's about as much as I'm interested in

00:03:31.360 But now they're going to come back apparently

00:03:34.500 Duke and Duchess plan to move back to UK

00:03:36.860 For children's school

00:03:38.060 Yeah, apparently it's all about

00:03:39.260 going to send their kids to British schools

00:03:41.380 Reunion with King

00:03:43.400 Reunion with King last month

00:03:45.500 cited as key step in reconciliation

00:03:47.300 Was it? Was it? Don't care

00:03:49.340 Alright, what else have we got?

00:03:50.860 British Covid scientists plotted to cover up

00:03:53.240 lab leak theory

00:03:54.100 My God

00:04:03.300 How people like that Chris Whitty and Matt Hancock

00:04:07.500 Well, we had a COVID inquiry, didn't we?

00:04:10.040 A massive COVID inquiry

00:04:11.040 It was a giant whitewash

00:04:12.800 It sort of concluded, didn't it, largely

00:04:14.520 That if anything, Boris didn't go far enough quick enough

00:04:17.480 Alright

00:04:18.820 So we've got a Fauci in our midst, have we?

00:04:23.280 We've got a Fauci-adjacent

00:04:25.060 Insane scientist-type dude

00:04:28.040 Who plotted to cover up lab leak theory

00:04:31.460 I mean

00:04:33.840 It's not just a little bit cheeky, is it?

00:04:38.620 It's not just like a bit annoying or a little bit out of order

00:04:41.700 To me, that's a crime on a massive, massive scale

00:04:45.920 Okay

00:04:54.420 Okay

00:04:56.120 Cambridge Chancellor says

00:04:58.320 We must uphold academic integrity

00:05:00.600 So the Chancellor of the whole of Cambridge University

00:05:02.560 That's come out

00:05:04.180 I briefly read this article this morning

00:05:06.160 Coming out in favour of

00:05:08.240 Making sure people don't plagiarise their

00:05:10.540 PhDs, or any essay for that matter

00:05:12.880 So

00:05:15.540 At least he's come out, I think it's a he

00:05:17.880 Might not be even, I can't remember, no it is yeah

00:05:19.680 Lord something, Lord Finsbury or something

00:05:21.780 At least he came out on the side of

00:05:24.260 Reason

00:05:25.360 Actual academic rigour

00:05:28.280 Like yeah you can't just plagiarise

00:05:30.300 PhDs

00:05:31.000 Good

00:05:32.740 At least you could ask for him to come out and say

00:05:36.520 In some sort of statement wouldn't it be

00:05:37.820 Okay

00:05:41.240 Can't plagiarise your PhD

00:05:42.920 Good

00:05:43.360 Alright

00:05:45.640 Jails to run out of space

00:05:49.720 Despite early release

00:05:51.280 Something else needs to be done

00:05:55.060 Perhaps we could deport

00:05:56.900 The 10,000 odd foreign criminals in our prisons

00:05:59.320 No

00:06:01.720 Does that require leaving the ECHR

00:06:05.180 And various other things

00:06:06.080 Maybe even some legislation

00:06:08.260 In Parliament to repeal

00:06:10.440 One or two things

00:06:11.340 Add one or two things

00:06:13.060 Labour Party have got no appetite for that

00:06:16.540 So

00:06:17.340 More early releases

00:06:21.140 Then I suppose

00:06:22.340 That's their policy

00:06:23.460 That's the only way they're prepared to deal with it

00:06:25.680 More of the same I suppose

00:06:27.160 What else would there be

00:06:29.320 Rainer defends work from home in the civil service, of course she does

00:06:33.940 Angela the Fridge Rainer, big bird

00:06:35.880 You know, Angela Rainer is 7 foot 2

00:06:38.900 She doesn't look it, does she?

00:06:41.460 She is though, she's 7 foot 2 inches tall

00:06:43.660 She weighs 500 pounds

00:06:45.700 She's a real unit

00:06:50.920 I'm joking, she's not 7 foot 2, 500 pounds

00:06:59.320 She's 6'2 and 3'20

00:07:00.680 I have fired my entire HR team

00:07:04.920 And all my problems vanished

00:07:06.300 Here's the headline

00:07:08.360 I guess

00:07:10.540 I haven't seen the inside of the Telegraph today

00:07:13.280 So I'm just guessing

00:07:14.160 This dude owns a business, runs a business

00:07:16.060 That's all I can assume

00:07:17.580 He's a CEO

00:07:18.240 Yeah, he fired his HR team

00:07:22.200 And all his problems vanished

00:07:23.980 Yeah

00:07:24.380 No S, Sherlock

00:07:27.100 Yeah

00:07:28.540 aren't HR teams in big businesses anyway

00:07:34.160 they're like they're there to generate problems aren't they

00:07:39.080 if you've got a problem employee

00:07:41.600 they're like a grievance employee

00:07:43.340 well HR is just there to facilitate them

00:07:47.060 aren't they

00:07:47.960 I mean when I was younger

00:07:50.980 HR just dealt with payroll

00:07:52.820 that was about if there's a real insane incident

00:07:57.180 and someone had to get fired because they'd done something really mental, HR might get involved

00:08:02.760 then. Otherwise, very, very small department, very, very minimal impact on the day-to-day of

00:08:09.800 everyone else in the company. Not so many more, is it? HR constantly sticking their fingers

00:08:16.160 into every aspect of the company, getting involved, making things more difficult.

00:08:20.540 And we've got sort of the

00:08:24.480 I can't remember who phrased this

00:08:25.540 Was it Ed Dutton

00:08:26.440 Somebody

00:08:26.900 Somebody good

00:08:28.000 Talked about this the other day

00:08:29.120 I saw

00:08:29.320 I can't remember where I read it

00:08:30.340 Or heard it

00:08:30.800 Like the HRification

00:08:32.280 Of Britain

00:08:33.920 Of our whole country

00:08:34.860 The HRification of

00:08:37.100 The way the police do their job

00:08:40.140 Just constantly nitpicking

00:08:42.680 Have you done this little thing

00:08:44.080 Why don't you do this little thing

00:08:44.960 And it would be wrong

00:08:45.960 If you didn't do this little thing

00:08:47.040 Into insanity

00:08:50.240 Okay

00:08:55.500 I didn't read this one

00:08:57.200 Match of the disarray BBC show in turmoil

00:09:00.140 Is that like match of the day

00:09:01.220 Is that a clever pun from the Telegraph

00:09:03.380 From the German owned Zionist

00:09:07.800 Anti-British Telegraph

00:09:09.280 Match of the disarray

00:09:11.320 Very clever, very very clever

00:09:12.660 Needed someone with

00:09:15.420 An undergrad in English lit

00:09:17.600 From Oxlap, Cambridge to come up with that one

00:09:19.760 Alright the sun

00:09:20.680 What sloppy joes

00:09:21.960 Are the sun

00:09:22.580 Thrusting into our face

00:09:25.040 Against our will

00:09:25.700 This morning

00:09:26.220 Harry and Meghan

00:09:29.260 Alright okay

00:09:30.420 Six years after Megxit

00:09:32.320 Royals move back

00:09:33.540 From US

00:09:34.020 To raise kids in UK

00:09:35.280 Harry and Meghan

00:09:36.240 Coming home

00:09:36.780 Yeah don't care

00:09:37.720 I just

00:09:37.980 I just

00:09:38.460 I can't

00:09:40.720 Force myself

00:09:41.320 Force myself

00:09:42.420 To care

00:09:44.060 Remotely

00:09:45.440 What they do or say

00:09:46.440 Lots of things

00:09:48.820 As you get older

00:09:49.460 I think

00:09:49.940 Certainly in my case

00:09:51.080 Just step over things

00:09:55.440 Step around things

00:09:57.460 Just ignore more and more things

00:09:59.020 Just ignore it

00:10:00.240 I'm not interested in that

00:10:01.700 I'm not interested

00:10:03.160 I've got time

00:10:04.480 It's just a waste of energy and time

00:10:07.700 The times

00:10:11.100 The venerable times

00:10:12.400 What have we got here?

00:10:14.940 Mahmood

00:10:15.620 Shabana Mahmood

00:10:16.640 The Pakistani woman

00:10:18.220 Who somehow founds herself LARPing as the Home Secretary

00:10:21.140 Wealthy areas must take their fair share of asylum seekers

00:10:25.360 Oh, if you say so

00:10:26.640 If you say so, cuckoo in the nest

00:10:29.140 If you say so, foreign entity in our government

00:10:33.060 If you say so

00:10:34.040 Wealthy areas must take, we must take our fair share

00:10:37.500 Fair according to who?

00:10:40.040 Why are you using the word fair?

00:10:41.340 There's nothing fair about this

00:10:42.700 What do you mean fair?

00:10:48.220 It's not fair that we're being flooded against our will by foreign invaders, whose crime rate per capita, yeah, per capita, politics, Joe, and the viral media, I'm talking about per capita, their rate of committing crime is through the roof, particularly sex crime.

00:11:06.640 And you're going to talk to us about fair

00:11:09.240 Whenever we've tried to voice our opinion

00:11:11.420 Since like the 50s

00:11:12.740 Since the 1950s

00:11:14.140 We've always said we don't want

00:11:15.400 Loads and loads of foreign people here

00:11:17.080 Why should we?

00:11:17.900 Other countries don't do that

00:11:18.660 That's mad

00:11:19.060 And you're going to talk about fair

00:11:21.940 It's a fair thing to do

00:11:24.940 Operation Schmear

00:11:26.240 To just poke foreign criminals

00:11:31.300 Essentially invading criminals

00:11:32.820 Into every corner of England

00:11:34.660 Or Britain

00:11:35.720 you're going to talk about fair pakistani woman right okay

00:11:44.600 vaccine for skin cancer helps fight off disease i mean this is good news

00:11:55.200 good news everybody vaccine for skin cancer helps fight off disease success could lead to more

00:12:02.780 tailor-made treatments. There's one or two other headlines this morning talking about

00:12:06.400 the same thing. Yeah, good, good, excellent. Although there's one thing, there's one little

00:12:12.140 odd detail about it. I think maybe it was on the eye paper. He was saying that perhaps

00:12:18.640 this vaccine was born out of, not born out of, but in some way related to the mRNA type

00:12:27.540 technology that was in the covid vaccine i mean not that this skin cancer vaccine and the covid

00:12:38.700 vaccine are the same in any way they're not they're not in any way just conceptually some of

00:12:44.200 the some of the scientific method used in it were the same does it make any difference does it matter

00:12:51.660 i don't know i'm not sure i'm not a scientist unfortunately

00:12:56.620 i've got my double gcse in science and left it at that

00:13:02.620 okay all right royal return harry and megan are moving back are they all right another picture of

00:13:07.900 the queen little park of bills yeah all right the daily mail pure subversion you're more subversive

00:13:19.660 than the Guardian or the Metro

00:13:22.920 because it's pretending it's not.

00:13:27.200 At least the Guardian's pretty open

00:13:28.920 at what it is,

00:13:30.720 what it does.

00:13:33.060 The male,

00:13:33.640 trying to pretend it's nativist

00:13:34.700 or patriotic in any way.

00:13:36.160 It's not.

00:13:37.300 It's not.

00:13:38.040 It's trying to destroy people that are,

00:13:39.700 in fact,

00:13:40.660 only.

00:13:42.240 The male group.

00:13:42.960 I said in my article years and years ago

00:13:44.960 that got me in trouble with hope not hate

00:13:46.160 and deselected from reform,

00:13:47.980 I said in that,

00:13:48.840 the male group,

00:13:49.420 The entire male group

00:13:50.480 Should be seriously looked at

00:13:52.300 If we had an actual

00:13:53.040 Decent government

00:13:54.280 Look at closing them down

00:13:55.640 Along with the likes of

00:13:56.400 The Guardian and the BBC

00:13:57.360 For being seditious

00:13:59.500 For day after day

00:14:01.580 Trying to ruin the very fabric

00:14:03.100 Of our society

00:14:03.820 Yeah the male yeah

00:14:04.880 Yeah

00:14:05.640 Ticey Ticey didn't like that

00:14:08.440 You can't be a reform candidate

00:14:10.520 And say such things

00:14:11.300 You can't

00:14:12.500 Probably could now actually

00:14:14.120 Probably could now

00:14:15.100 My only crime was being

00:14:17.480 Head of the curve I suppose

00:14:18.560 Reform have actually come out and said

00:14:21.540 A few things as their policy now

00:14:23.660 Which were beyond what I wrote in that

00:14:25.640 In that magazine, in that article

00:14:27.880 C'est la guerre

00:14:30.880 Don't want to be in a party with loads and loads of

00:14:37.600 Like Muslim people and Indian people

00:14:39.800 Actual, like Indian nationals and stuff

00:14:43.780 No, I want my country back

00:14:45.940 For me, for us

00:14:46.820 Okay

00:14:48.540 The form is just part of the containment machine

00:14:51.420 Ministers forced to tell asylum seekers

00:14:53.680 Don't rape women

00:14:54.460 Yeah

00:14:56.620 They had this in Sweden

00:15:02.860 A similar thing in Sweden years ago

00:15:04.860 Before I was even at Lotus Eaters I think

00:15:07.040 Where their government came out and said

00:15:08.500 To their new arrivals

00:15:11.680 Remember

00:15:13.140 It's a bit of a no-no

00:15:14.580 To sexually assault and rape women

00:15:17.520 Please don't

00:15:19.340 We've taken the mickey out of it then

00:15:20.780 I mean

00:15:21.080 Not really laughing

00:15:23.680 Like it's funny

00:15:24.420 It's the furthest thing from funny

00:15:25.820 Taking the mickey

00:15:27.020 You know saying

00:15:27.500 Can you believe this

00:15:28.820 Well we've got exactly that now

00:15:31.020 After dozens of migrants

00:15:32.520 Are convicted of sex attacks

00:15:33.840 Is it dozens?

00:15:34.860 Is it dozens?

00:15:36.400 Do you mean thousands?

00:15:38.000 Home office issued booklet

00:15:39.360 Warning that it's against law in Britain

00:15:41.640 And in fact

00:15:42.760 On the Daily Mail

00:15:44.080 I think it's the Daily Mail

00:15:45.160 Yeah, the Daily Mail

00:15:46.160 Website

00:15:47.820 Let's have a bit of a further look

00:15:49.340 Ministers now forced to tell asylum seekers

00:15:51.420 Don't rape women

00:15:52.340 But it's an insane new booklet

00:15:54.580 According to the Tories

00:15:55.420 Teaches migrants how to avoid committing sex crime in Britain

00:15:58.800 Yeah, the Tory says it's insane

00:16:00.360 We shouldn't have to

00:16:01.060 I'm not going to take any

00:16:03.980 I'm not going to listen to what the Tories say

00:16:07.600 About anything ever again

00:16:09.520 The vast majority

00:16:11.920 The vast majority

00:16:12.920 The millions of people that are here

00:16:15.340 That shouldn't be

00:16:16.100 Came in under the Tories watch

00:16:18.660 I'm not going to listen to what the Tories say

00:16:20.760 Look here we go, look at the insanity of this

00:16:23.100 Historians surely will look back at this

00:16:26.200 And it will just be mind blowing

00:16:30.740 I hope, I hope

00:16:34.620 What happened in the early 21st century

00:16:37.660 To a lot of the West

00:16:38.540 To a lot of the Anglosphere

00:16:39.880 Kind of insane situation

00:16:42.660 Did they get themselves into

00:16:43.900 Did their elite

00:16:45.960 Get them into

00:16:47.660 In the UK

00:16:57.360 Both people must say yes to sex

00:17:00.720 This is called consent

00:17:02.980 You've got to tell people this

00:17:05.240 And you think that

00:17:08.360 Even if you just give them this pamphlet, whatever it is

00:17:10.820 Then they'll immediately take it all on board and understand

00:17:14.300 And completely change their behaviours

00:17:16.500 Off the strength of this

00:17:17.720 You're going to let them in anyway

00:17:19.580 You're letting them in anyway

00:17:20.420 If you have sex with someone who does not want to

00:17:26.080 This is called rape

00:17:26.960 Rape is a serious crime

00:17:28.120 It is still rape if you are married to the person

00:17:30.360 Or in a relationship

00:17:31.560 They agreed once but changed their mind

00:17:33.760 If you have sex without consent

00:17:35.840 You could go to prison

00:17:36.920 This will affect your asylum claim

00:17:38.680 Well that's the most important thing

00:17:39.820 They don't want their people's asylum claims to be affected

00:17:43.020 Do they?

00:17:43.880 If you've been raped

00:17:44.760 Oh now help for the rapist asylum seekers

00:17:48.860 If you've been raped

00:17:50.080 You will be treated with respect

00:17:53.640 Here's a load of rape crisis numbers

00:17:56.060 For the migrants

00:17:57.060 What?

00:17:58.740 It's insane

00:18:00.740 In the UK men and women are equal

00:18:03.060 This means men are treated the same

00:18:05.660 Women can work

00:18:06.700 Study, travel and make their own choices

00:18:09.080 Why are we letting people in

00:18:10.500 That would need to be told any of this

00:18:12.240 Why would we?

00:18:14.100 Why should we?

00:18:16.400 Treating someone unfairly because of their gender

00:18:18.580 Is not acceptable here

00:18:20.180 It can be against the law

00:18:21.680 If you treat someone unfairly because of their gender

00:18:24.240 You may be reported to the police

00:18:26.080 And you may lose your asylum support

00:18:28.160 Oh well

00:18:29.780 Let's try and prevent that

00:18:32.040 Let's try and prevent that

00:18:36.700 That's the key thing here

00:18:38.140 Cram in as many foreign barbarians as possible

00:18:42.500 More about the nature of sexual content

00:18:46.860 Consent, sorry

00:18:48.400 Look here, this is, again

00:18:52.660 Historians will look back on this sort of thing

00:18:55.860 And wonder

00:18:59.720 Really how it came about

00:19:02.500 The legal age of consent

00:19:04.960 The legal age of consent in the UK is 16

00:19:07.540 This means that anyone under the age of 16 is considered a child

00:19:11.580 And cannot legally agree to have sex

00:19:14.020 Sex with someone under the age of 16 is a serious crime in the UK

00:19:19.460 There are no exceptions to this rule

00:19:22.000 Even if they say yes, it is still illegal

00:19:25.280 And you could go to prison

00:19:27.120 Lose your support and accommodation

00:19:30.260 And it will negatively affect your asylum claim

00:19:32.820 If you rape a child

00:19:36.440 You could lose your

00:19:38.300 Accommodation

00:19:39.760 And it would negatively affect your asylum claim

00:19:42.320 There needs to be

00:19:48.720 An overhaul of

00:19:50.880 The foreign office

00:19:52.060 Well and the foreign office

00:19:53.700 The home office

00:19:54.740 Of course our borders and immigration policy

00:19:57.320 And then the home office

00:19:58.460 I mean the home office sits above

00:20:01.320 Border force

00:20:02.640 and the police, doesn't it?

00:20:04.760 Things like the border force and the police

00:20:06.420 and even like the Coast Guard or whatever

00:20:07.940 is all under the umbrella of the Home Office, isn't it?

00:20:16.020 We've got some real enemies of the people

00:20:20.760 and the state sitting in the Home Office.

00:20:24.700 But they will decide this is the best thing to do.

00:20:30.080 Don't harass people.

00:20:32.640 Don't touch people.

00:20:34.980 Don't follow them.

00:20:35.620 Don't block their path.

00:20:36.540 Don't keep talking to them if they don't want you to.

00:20:43.440 Crazy.

00:20:47.680 It's a crazy world.

00:20:50.960 Unbelievable.

00:20:53.400 Okay.

00:20:55.340 Another picture of Harry and his horrid wife.

00:21:01.560 The Express, it's a good paper

00:21:04.560 I can read The Express now

00:21:07.560 It's a good paper

00:21:11.560 I'm being sarcastic, it's pure globalist slop like all the others

00:21:14.560 Very much like the male wearing the skin suit of a patriot or a nativist

00:21:18.560 It hates us

00:21:20.560 Outcry after government is forced to give asylum seekers advice on how to behave

00:21:24.560 Don't rape or beat up women when in Britain

00:21:31.560 The Queen's got an umbrella, the Queen under her umbrella, Ella, Ella, the mirror, pure labour, mouthpiece, the mirror

00:21:42.540 Reform and restore derangement syndrome is off the scale, mum, dad and daughter drown

00:21:51.160 Day trip tragedy, father fled Palestine in hope, little sister now fights for life, probably should have stayed in Palestine then

00:22:01.560 Apparently the sea was so choppy, it was so windy that people on the beach were like struggling to hold on to their phones.

00:22:11.740 You know when you can't just stand up straight, you have to lean into the wind, otherwise you'll just get knocked over.

00:22:16.940 And the rescue people, the RNLI, the Coast Guard, whatever, couldn't get to them very quickly because the sea was so choppy.

00:22:23.340 Why are you going in the sea then?

00:22:31.560 Tragedy, yeah, there's other tragedies going on, bigger tragedies going on

00:22:35.080 What about the 190 odd rapes that happened to British native white women just yesterday?

00:22:40.280 That's not a tragedy, no?

00:22:41.820 No, okay, alright

00:22:42.760 The Metro, ooh, the Metro

00:22:44.680 Ooh

00:22:46.720 Oh God

00:22:48.500 Ooh

00:22:49.380 Absolutely

00:22:56.420 Absolutely disgusting

00:22:58.900 The Metro

00:22:59.900 real real real subversion more victims in summer swim deaths refugees family who drowned in seaside

00:23:07.460 tragedy okay okay summer death there's more summer deaths the death toll from the heat is just so

00:23:14.200 gigantic it's just uh britain's on fire do you remember britain's on fire and uh it's a man-made

00:23:21.980 heat wave and if we're not careful there won't be any food and the wildfires are out of control

00:23:27.980 because of man-made climate change and oh no downpours continue for uk with risk of

00:23:34.060 flash flooding oh we're back to flash flooding oh it's flooding now

00:23:39.580 oh so we are a rain-swept island really really wet soggy

00:23:47.340 rain-swept waterlogs island right okay that's more the reality then is it

00:23:54.620 Right, good, good, okay

00:23:57.760 This morning, this morning, on Sky News

00:24:00.180 Watch a little bit of it in the morning, don't I?

00:24:02.600 Just see what they're saying

00:24:03.600 While I'm having a touch of brekkie

00:24:06.020 And a cup of tea

00:24:07.040 They quite literally did that

00:24:12.980 They did that thing where

00:24:14.600 They were talking about the heatwave

00:24:18.820 And heat deaths

00:24:19.720 And then almost instantly pivoted

00:24:23.220 I mean, almost

00:24:24.020 almost in the same breath

00:24:25.960 started talking about flash flooding

00:24:27.840 do you know what it put me in mind of

00:24:31.300 I don't know what it reminded me of

00:24:33.480 in Orwell's 1984

00:24:36.900 there's a bit

00:24:37.820 where he goes to Trafalgar Square

00:24:40.160 Winston goes to Trafalgar Square

00:24:42.760 and

00:24:43.800 there's a guy there, I can't remember which way round is it

00:24:46.700 whether they're at war with East Asia

00:24:48.920 or Eurasia

00:24:49.860 and the guy, the political

00:24:52.760 Speaker is standing up

00:24:54.380 Delivering a political speech

00:24:55.780 And a party apparatchik

00:24:58.740 Whispers in his ear

00:24:59.720 And as Orwell

00:25:02.860 Writes it

00:25:03.500 Without pause

00:25:06.340 As he's talking

00:25:07.740 He starts saying

00:25:10.800 The other one

00:25:11.180 We're not at war with East Asia anymore

00:25:12.860 We're at war with Eurasia

00:25:14.620 As he's reading mid speech without pausing

00:25:18.920 As the party whispered it

00:25:20.900 In his ear

00:25:22.760 that's what that put me in mind of this morning on sky news

00:25:27.700 it's really really hot it's drought people are dying from the heat and it's flooding

00:25:34.180 and it's flash floods

00:25:35.940 the reason why people don't pay as much attention to the legacy corporate lamestream media as they

00:25:46.300 used to is that it's stuff like that you see it we see it a lot of people are fairly

00:25:52.480 credulous and stupid and relatively slow and won't clock that necessarily but a lot of people aren't

00:25:58.860 that a lot of people aren't everyone watching this they're my glorious band the chosen few my

00:26:02.880 band of brothers a lot of people are a lot more savvy than the corporate legacy mainstream media

00:26:09.720 give them credit for right this refugee family for their own sake should have stayed in the levant

00:26:19.380 The Guardian

00:26:21.620 The Guardian

00:26:22.720 Oh

00:26:24.260 Suddenly a disgusting stench

00:26:27.480 What is that?

00:26:32.040 It's like

00:26:32.520 It's like a dumpster

00:26:36.160 In the heat

00:26:39.260 Absolutely sickening

00:26:42.300 Stomach churning

00:26:43.040 Coating the back of my throat

00:26:44.640 What is that smell?

00:26:45.620 Oh, it's the Guardian

00:26:46.720 Working in Starmer's number 10 was unbearable

00:26:51.140 Says ex-chief of staff

00:26:52.060 Okay, finally, a little bit of a story

00:26:53.440 A little bit of a real story

00:26:55.960 Sue Gray, remember her, Sue Gray

00:26:59.200 Offers her first insight into Labour government's early days

00:27:02.800 So she was Sir Queer Stalin's chief of staff

00:27:06.200 Number 10 chief of staff

00:27:07.060 Do you remember she was a civil servant for a long time, wasn't she?

00:27:15.040 Remember, you know, civil servants are supposed to be completely apolitical, aren't they?

00:27:19.620 They're supposed to be above the party political maelstrom

00:27:22.420 They're supposed to be completely impartial

00:27:23.920 Merely servants of the state

00:27:25.940 She was a very, very senior one of those

00:27:28.440 And then suddenly is in the upper echelons of labour

00:27:32.040 And in fact, chief of staff at number 10

00:27:35.580 I think there's some sort of law that you can't immediately go from one role to another

00:27:39.960 You have to have like a year or 18 months or something or other

00:27:41.960 I can't remember the details

00:27:42.720 But she did the bare minimum

00:27:44.280 That that was required by law

00:27:45.520 And is now right at the heart

00:27:47.260 Of the labour machine

00:27:48.240 From being a senior civil servant

00:27:50.760 That's Sue Gray

00:27:52.060 She went on

00:27:58.840 Some sort of podcast

00:28:00.240 Was it the one with

00:28:01.000 I think it might be the one

00:28:01.800 With Ed Balls

00:28:02.580 Edward Balls

00:28:05.680 Who searched for his own name

00:28:07.180 We've all done it

00:28:10.460 She went on his podcast

00:28:16.820 And said that at least in the early days

00:28:19.000 Because she was left in like 2024

00:28:20.540 That it was like unbearable

00:28:23.820 Working there

00:28:24.620 That things like

00:28:27.140 I won't bother actually reading it for you

00:28:29.920 But I'll just paraphrase some of it for you

00:28:31.820 That there was an atmosphere

00:28:35.720 That all senior people were

00:28:37.960 Backstabbing each other all the time

00:28:39.940 And briefing against each other

00:28:41.680 They say briefing

00:28:42.420 All that means is going to a journalist

00:28:44.820 And telling them stuff

00:28:47.060 Briefing against someone or other

00:28:49.860 You mean you know a Guardian journalist

00:28:53.200 Or a Telegraph journalist or whatever

00:28:54.780 The Sun, the Mount, whatever

00:28:56.300 You know one of them

00:28:57.420 You've got their number or whatever

00:28:59.980 And then you text them

00:29:04.760 Email them

00:29:05.480 Meet up for a drink

00:29:06.620 Somewhere in Westminster or whatever

00:29:07.800 Perhaps at a gentleman's club

00:29:09.760 and then you just tell them what's going on that's that's briefing right okay

00:29:14.940 it's so great we're saying that loads of people were just um yeah there was no sort of there was

00:29:21.000 no sense of you know like tight lips none of that it was just everyone backstabbing everyone

00:29:28.800 at all times and that she feared that she couldn't just say what she wanted because

00:29:32.840 someone would hear it unless she's in a room just with Keir Starmer which would be rare

00:29:38.760 If there's anyone else around, she can't really speak freely

00:29:41.420 because she knows it will just get leaked, briefed out to the mainstream media.

00:29:49.920 So there's that.

00:29:50.780 Okay, that's bad enough, right?

00:29:51.880 But then her exasperation that Starmer would do nothing about it,

00:29:56.360 was doing nothing about it, and didn't do anything about it.

00:30:01.580 Starmerbot 2.0.

00:30:04.880 2.17.

00:30:06.080 Starmobot with its 17 patches

00:30:09.140 To try and make it actually work correctly

00:30:11.100 Wasn't doing anything about it

00:30:12.940 Didn't care, well, I don't know if he cared

00:30:14.640 He probably did care, I'm sure he cared, but

00:30:16.220 Didn't do anything about it

00:30:18.760 That's what I'll do, in Bose, Britain

00:30:22.200 If I ever found myself in that sort of situation

00:30:24.280 Oh, you were trying

00:30:26.420 Surely it's like

00:30:27.780 It's par for the course

00:30:29.820 It's day one stuff

00:30:32.120 That you at least try

00:30:33.560 You at least try to have

00:30:36.080 The tightest ship possible, as few leaks as possible.

00:30:39.500 When there is a leak, you do a mole hunt and try and find out who it is.

00:30:45.140 You have like an anti-leaking team to try and find out.

00:30:49.440 Plumbers, don't break into any offices though.

00:30:53.100 Don't break into any psychiatrist's offices.

00:30:56.720 You try and keep leaking to a minimum.

00:30:59.620 And if there is a significant leak, try and find out who it is and get rid of them.

00:31:02.520 Try and pick people in the first instance

00:31:05.960 That you hope are least likely to leak

00:31:09.060 Apparently none of that was going on under Starmer

00:31:11.580 None

00:31:11.840 According to Sue Gray

00:31:13.080 And other general complaints

00:31:14.840 She's got other complaints as well

00:31:15.860 Okay

00:31:17.260 Here's a story

00:31:18.280 The IDF, the Israeli Defence Force

00:31:19.860 Admits firing at a car in which family died

00:31:22.280 Yeah, tell us about it

00:31:24.020 Yeah, including this little kid

00:31:25.000 Yeah

00:31:26.760 In Garza it was

00:31:28.320 A while ago

00:31:30.160 It was some car

00:31:31.380 Don't know if it was trying to run a checkpoint or anything

00:31:33.340 I don't know

00:31:33.800 The IDF just fired into the car

00:31:36.940 And killed all the people in it

00:31:38.340 I think all, maybe all

00:31:39.460 Anyway

00:31:39.960 This girl, this kid was in the car

00:31:42.800 I suppose got hit

00:31:44.160 But didn't die for like hours

00:31:46.620 They didn't get rescue services to her for hours

00:31:49.760 And then she did die

00:31:50.900 That's horrible isn't it?

00:31:53.700 That's really horrible

00:31:54.760 Just an individual story out of

00:32:01.380 A mass of horrible stories

00:32:03.240 From there, of course

00:32:05.940 Why they picked this one, I don't know

00:32:08.780 Did I see something the other day, was it

00:32:11.520 I don't know the exact numbers

00:32:13.260 I think I saw, I think I saw something like

00:32:15.960 70,000 people have died in Gaza since

00:32:18.740 That October the 7th thing

00:32:30.060 Okay

00:32:30.500 Maybe Tony Blair can help turn the Gaza Strip

00:32:33.620 Into like some sort of Monaco

00:32:34.980 Some sort of Macau style

00:32:37.320 Brilliant result

00:32:39.680 Yeah alright

00:32:42.040 Mandatory GCSE resits can harm well being

00:32:46.540 So it's GCSE result day today actually

00:32:48.520 Isn't it

00:32:49.100 Anyone you know

00:32:51.340 Anyone in your family

00:32:52.240 Getting their GCSE results today

00:32:53.900 Best of luck to you

00:32:55.440 Yeah best of luck

00:33:00.440 to anyone, sorry, not her

00:33:03.440 Best of luck to all the GCSE kiddywinks

00:33:07.000 getting their results today

00:33:08.120 Alright, the FT, the Financial Time

00:33:09.800 Tehran, this is a slightly interesting story

00:33:12.200 If true, if there's anything to it

00:33:13.800 Tehran targets Europe's US bases in sites

00:33:17.920 They can't often, this is in Tehran, this picture

00:33:21.020 A picture of Trump being strangled

00:33:23.200 The story did say that Tehran have said

00:33:27.960 they're considering, or will

00:33:29.440 Target

00:33:32.160 Bases in Europe

00:33:33.700 That have helped facilitate

00:33:35.640 Mr. Trump's

00:33:37.020 Bibi Netanyahu's war

00:33:39.060 In which he duped

00:33:42.040 Donald Trump into doing

00:33:43.280 According to

00:33:46.040 According to Vance

00:33:48.620 According to Vance

00:33:52.200 JD Vance

00:33:59.440 yeah bulgaria okay so there you go i can barely read that that is right

00:34:02.720 that is right on the limit of my eyesight

00:34:07.200 uh bulgaria was named by tyrone some us assets us air base in bulgaria cyprus

00:34:16.640 which is our one isn't it that's our one

00:34:20.800 we did we have let um us military craft flying and out of cyprus haven't we

00:34:26.640 And Fairfield

00:34:29.860 And a number of places, a whole number of places

00:34:31.220 So, Tehran

00:34:33.040 Along with a few other places

00:34:35.320 But Bulgaria and Cyprus

00:34:37.300 Was top of their list apparently

00:34:39.520 They're going to strike things

00:34:41.840 Outside of the actual Persian Gulf region

00:34:44.740 Alrighty

00:34:49.660 Moderna shares doubled after success

00:34:53.360 For custom made skin cancer vaccine

00:34:56.640 Melanoma therapy breakthrough

00:34:59.160 Positive outcome in late stage trial

00:35:01.280 Good, I mean, good

00:35:02.000 Apart from the possible

00:35:05.200 MR era, MA aspects of the research

00:35:07.800 I don't know

00:35:08.620 It helps save people's lives

00:35:11.760 Got skin cancer, good thing

00:35:13.020 Alright

00:35:15.420 What else have we got? The eye paper

00:35:17.000 Oh, they go with the skin cancer thing as well

00:35:18.420 New skin cancer vaccine can stop disease

00:35:20.580 And offers hope for era of personalized jabs

00:35:24.020 Promising treatment

00:35:26.100 Promising treatment sequences a tumour's DNA

00:35:33.140 Before making patients' immune system attack their cancer cells

00:35:41.440 To prevent disease returning

00:35:43.060 So a truly personalised programme

00:35:46.640 Truly, truly personalised

00:35:48.140 Down to the cellular level of your cancer treatment

00:35:50.980 That's the future, isn't it?

00:35:53.520 They will sequence your DNA

00:35:56.620 And then anything they need to do for you

00:35:59.940 It will be like your DNA

00:36:02.960 So you need like a heart transplant or whatever

00:36:04.780 A kidney transplant or whatever

00:36:07.680 A hip replacement

00:36:08.760 They can grow you at some point in the future

00:36:13.440 At some point in the future

00:36:14.960 They could 3D print you a new heart

00:36:17.120 A new hip or whatever

00:36:18.540 And at the cellular level

00:36:23.520 it's yours your body thinks it's yours so it won't reject it almost certainly won't reject it

00:36:29.760 it's amazing isn't it amazing that

00:36:33.440 some point in the future biologically print out new lungs for you

00:36:41.360 and well let's say and as far as dna goes they are your lungs new set of them it's crazy isn't it

00:36:50.480 Wonderful really

00:36:52.660 Medical science

00:36:55.220 Patients with high risk

00:36:57.360 Melanoma remain free of cancer

00:36:59.520 For longer after surgery

00:37:00.900 Treatment uses same MRNA

00:37:03.600 Technology that was used to make

00:37:05.480 Covid vaccines

00:37:06.580 Landmark trial still needs peer review

00:37:09.080 Although independent experts praise

00:37:11.300 Important moment and

00:37:13.060 Proof of principle and personalised

00:37:15.340 Cancer vaccines work

00:37:16.640 That personalised cancer vaccines work

00:37:20.480 the results have potential to become good news for people with other cancers

00:37:25.440 good good i'm not going to be cynical and sarcastic about that one bit the daily star

00:37:32.960 pure slop well look look at this sloppy joe there was a bat there was a bat in one person's toilet

00:37:41.920 it's so hot that a bat needed to cool down and somehow got in someone's toilet to do that

00:37:48.800 heat wave hunt for water dracu loo dracu loo

00:37:57.600 pushing it a bit isn't it

00:38:00.800 dracu loo woman finds a huge bat chilling out in her lavvy i'm not making that up if you're

00:38:06.400 only listening to the audio of this you might think what's bo saying why has he said that

00:38:12.320 i'm reading the headline dracu loo a woman finds a huge bat chilling out in her lavvy

00:38:18.320 that is what the star put on its front page could report on anything in the world

00:38:22.560 anything in the whole world that's what it goes with if you buy and or read the daily

00:38:27.840 star on a regular basis you are quite frankly you must have the mind of a child

00:38:36.880 if you choose to keep buying it

00:38:42.000 one pound sixty

00:38:42.880 It's not worth 16p, let alone £1.60

00:38:49.120 There you go, okay, that tea's got a bit cold

00:38:55.260 Yuck

00:38:55.820 Don't do cold tea, me

00:38:58.440 Alright, move on to my backup water

00:39:01.900 This isn't a second cup of tea, as some people think

00:39:04.180 Some people have said, even recently

00:39:05.360 Why has Beau got a second cup of tea?

00:39:08.680 If the first one's gone cold, how hasn't the second one gone cold?

00:39:11.700 There's just water in this

00:39:12.880 do you think about getting the bell on helps us out make sure you're subbed to the channel

00:39:22.900 whack the bell it's free isn't it whack the bell why not well they're the front pages anyway

00:39:29.920 they're the front pages increasingly absurd and infuriating front pages out of fleet street this

00:39:34.600 morning right then we do our poll about this time of the show don't we every day let's have a look

00:39:40.320 at our poll i was another day where i said to harry ask the chat what they want the poll to be

00:39:45.880 it's a little bit lazy but also i think not a bad idea not a bad idea ultimately

00:39:53.720 because very often we do a poll and people are like oh lame poll what kind of poll is this sloppy

00:39:59.380 poll let you guys decide so i don't know what it is i'm reading it for the first time here

00:40:04.480 right okay there it is so we asked you guys do you support reintroducing the death penalty oh

00:40:13.120 got serious there reintroducing the death penalty i do i've said it a number of times

00:40:19.040 on this channel i mean it's restore policy isn't it or at least have a referendum on it

00:40:23.560 so of course the party wants it rupert wants it i would want it carl's on board yeah i think it

00:40:29.060 there's always a wishy-washy liberal

00:40:33.160 liberal wrong turn to get rid of it

00:40:38.260 certain crimes you deserve death

00:40:42.560 it's the morally wrong thing to do not to kill that person

00:40:49.560 I think okay so we asked you guys

00:40:52.220 do you support reintroducing the death penalty

00:40:55.020 the 700 odd people voted in that, over 700 odd people

00:40:59.060 And the Ayers have it, the Glorious Band, the Chosen Few, my band of brothers and sisters, agree with me, and Reaper, that we should reintroduce the death penalty, and it's a stonking and overwhelming victory for the Ayers.

00:41:20.760 A cool 96% of you

00:41:23.320 Said yes

00:41:24.680 4% of you say no

00:41:27.500 Don't, get out, get out

00:41:29.360 This isn't the podcast for you

00:41:30.460 Go on, just get out

00:41:32.200 Go and watch Rory Stewart then

00:41:33.720 You're not welcome here

00:41:35.340 Don't go, don't go though

00:41:37.720 That was a joke, that was blatantly a joke

00:41:39.420 I still love you, we can make this work

00:41:40.660 I still love you, don't leave me

00:41:42.660 Please don't leave me

00:41:43.640 Till the night closes

00:41:48.640 okay let's have a look at the price of oil we also check in on the price of crude on the open

00:41:58.680 market do you want do you want to buy or sell a barrel of crude well this is how much it'll

00:42:05.100 cost you right now in real time if it's west texas a shade over 84 and a half dollars a barrel

00:42:11.260 and if it's brent you're trading in just shy of 92 dollars a barrel it's been hovering about this

00:42:17.440 for the last all this week up slightly i think at the beginning of the week brent was at 88

00:42:22.700 not only is it surprising to me that it's still under a hundred dollars a barrel but that it's

00:42:27.360 as stable as it is when this war first started when bibi's war first started in february and

00:42:34.200 into march not only did the price spike it went up as high as if i recall like 117 dollars about

00:42:40.180 did it break did brent break 120 dollars about it's certainly not much higher than that at any

00:42:44.660 point that i can recall anyway not only did it go up as much as that but it was also very very

00:42:50.420 volatile i mean you can expect that what i'm saying here now is that i'm surprised it's not

00:42:55.200 still that that it's not way higher than it is and more way volatile than it is it's not that

00:43:01.260 volatile at the moment at the moment this week so far this week it's not very volatile it's sort

00:43:06.320 of just holding steady remarkable that 60 day ceasefire thing that trump and iran had that's

00:43:13.040 He's threatening to bomb Oman

00:43:15.000 Doesn't make a significant difference

00:43:17.920 To the price of crude

00:43:18.780 Okay

00:43:22.840 Interesting, remarkable, really

00:43:25.040 Remarkable

00:43:26.200 Alright, were there any other big stories

00:43:29.360 Of note today

00:43:31.400 No, it's mainly the royals

00:43:33.580 Again, it's August, it's slower news

00:43:35.160 Isn't it, throughout August, silly season

00:43:36.820 It's mainly that Meghan and Harry

00:43:38.560 Are going to move back

00:43:41.380 Yeah, there you go

00:43:43.600 It's nearly all of them

00:43:47.680 Look, Will's not looking happy

00:43:49.720 Apparently the king has basically

00:43:52.760 De facto on some level

00:43:55.400 Forgiven Harry

00:43:56.540 Sort of allow Harry to come back

00:43:58.360 They're not going to be full royals again

00:43:59.700 Working royals

00:44:00.660 Right

00:44:02.660 They're not going to be going around opening

00:44:05.760 Supermarkets

00:44:07.120 And factories or anything like that

00:44:10.240 But Wills, insiders say

00:44:13.160 Sources close to the prince say

00:44:15.460 That he's still like

00:44:17.560 Apoplectic with his brother

00:44:20.780 Hasn't forgiven his brother for

00:44:22.540 For constantly talking about

00:44:26.320 What goes on behind closed doors in the palace

00:44:28.460 That's your only job

00:44:29.780 It's your only job as a senior royal

00:44:31.520 Is don't talk openly about what goes on behind closed doors

00:44:34.780 That's really your only job, right?

00:44:37.040 Like a domestic animal

00:44:38.560 like a domestic pet your only job is to not be violent right other than that you get to live in

00:44:44.300 the lap of luxury for your whole life you're a domestic cat a domestic dog your only job your

00:44:48.480 only function is don't be crazy and violent and hurt anyone if you're able to achieve that you

00:44:55.200 will be treated to one of the best possible lives it's possible to have with the royal family your

00:45:02.260 only job your only function really all the rest is nonsense all the rest is window dressing just

00:45:06.500 made up busy work your only job is to not talk about what goes on behind closed doors

00:45:11.140 discretion yeah it's called discretion harry couldn't handle that nah harry's harry's too

00:45:17.980 important for that he could talk about what he wants when he wants to anyone

00:45:20.320 all right let's do on this day in history it's now quarter two i like doing this section you

00:45:31.020 guys seem to like me doing this section down through the centuries name millennia on this

00:45:34.440 day, the 20th of August. What happened of note? Let's have a look-see. Oh, by the way, one note

00:45:39.260 to say, one bit of housekeeping on this day in history. The other day, I looked for other on

00:45:43.040 this day in history websites. Again, again, I've done this more than once. I did it again the other

00:45:46.880 day. See if there were better ones. I can't find a better one than this. All the other ones, there's

00:45:52.340 a fair few of them as well. All the other ones are more woke than this one. This is the least woke

00:45:58.760 one i can find anyone finds if anyone finds a based on this day in history website let me know

00:46:08.040 tweet it at me i'll start using it i will it's not too bad this one it's not great not too bad all

00:46:14.680 right let's carry on on this day the 20th of august in 1597 the first dutch east india company ship

00:46:21.320 returns from the far east that's very early on isn't it well in my opinion feels like it's very

00:46:25.720 early on. I mean, it's still a century after Columbus, or more. Not that Columbus went

00:46:33.920 to the East Indies, but you know what I mean, you know what I mean. It still feels like

00:46:39.900 that's quite early on in the Middle Ages. I mean, not that that 1597 is early on in

00:46:47.920 the Middle Ages. I mean, it's early on in the bracket of the window of time when Europeans

00:46:54.260 started traversing the globe and trading significantly with everywhere in the world

00:46:59.720 effectively everywhere in the world if you'd asked me i would have thought it'd be later than that

00:47:05.220 but there you go that's the that's the historical fact okay on this day in 1741 alaska is first

00:47:12.140 sighted by a russian expedition led by danish explorer vitus baring you know like the baring

00:47:17.460 straits again that's later than i would have thought it's very uh this way history is

00:47:23.220 interesting uh history is endlessly interesting to me things like that they only sort of discovered

00:47:30.340 quote unquote and named the bearing straits in 1741 was it a lot early in that no

00:47:40.820 it's the russians that did it not the spanish not the english not the americans well it wouldn't

00:47:45.460 have been near the United States it didn't exist but the Russians Russians

00:47:52.740 1741 that feels late to me but there you go

00:47:56.340 okay on this day in 1905 Chinese revolutionary Sun Yat-sen forms the

00:48:01.140 first chapter of the Ton Mengaya a union of secret

00:48:06.020 societies determined to bring down the Qin dynasty I believe that's pronounced

00:48:09.380 chin isn't it quin i think i think it's pronounced chin i've talked to john wong before about

00:48:16.340 pronouncing some chinese words because he obviously can actually speak um i can't remember

00:48:20.760 what dialect of chinese he speaks but anyway um on my own uh channel uh that one history bro

00:48:34.920 nothing behind the paywall there i haven't actually got 100 000 subscribers this is fake

00:48:41.140 this is digitally created by a little harry it's not real i don't want to claim stolen valor that

00:48:47.600 i've actually got 100 000 subs for history bro it's only like 20 something anyway on there i've

00:48:54.560 got a massive series all about mal malsey doing is it like an 18 part series or something and in

00:49:00.480 Now I spend quite a long time as I usually do

00:49:02.200 Setting up the scene

00:49:04.500 Setting up, talking a lot about

00:49:06.580 The 19th century China

00:49:08.760 And early

00:49:10.460 20th century China

00:49:11.580 The world in which Mao Zedong was born into

00:49:14.900 So anyway in that

00:49:17.880 In that if you want to hear me

00:49:20.220 Talking all about Sun Yat-sen

00:49:21.560 It's there

00:49:23.380 Sun Yat-sen the warlord

00:49:27.620 A warlord's warlord

00:49:28.920 You might say

00:49:30.560 There's so much you could say about Sun Yat-sen

00:49:39.300 Bloody hell

00:49:39.780 Like a Chiang Kai-shek

00:49:42.700 Before Chiang Kai-shek

00:49:43.920 These names meaning anything to anyone

00:49:46.860 I'll move on

00:49:47.960 If you're not interested

00:49:49.600 Because I've said before

00:49:51.160 Chinese history isn't my forte

00:49:53.620 Until you get to about the 19th century

00:49:56.060 And then I know loads about it

00:49:57.380 I actually do know quite a lot about it

00:49:58.740 But it's medieval or ancient Chinese history

00:50:01.200 Well, on Epochs

00:50:02.900 I have got a long-form bit of content

00:50:04.360 All about the first Chinese emperor

00:50:06.440 O'Day's Epochs

00:50:09.040 That's on lotusseetus.com

00:50:10.380 Do consider signing up for his £5 a month

00:50:11.980 For the Bronze Team membership

00:50:12.620 I've got a long-form bit of content there

00:50:17.060 About the first emperor

00:50:17.820 But that's like

00:50:18.360 He's in like

00:50:19.220 The 3rd century BC

00:50:22.380 Or the 200s BC

00:50:24.440 Is

00:50:26.140 Hongdi was his name, wasn't it?

00:50:33.540 Qin Shi Hongdi

00:50:34.780 John Wong coached me on that once

00:50:38.660 I've probably got it all wrong again

00:50:40.020 Qin Shi Hongdi

00:50:42.060 Real Chinese people are like, don't, stop, stop, don't

00:50:46.640 Please, that was

00:50:47.220 You're embarrassing everyone

00:50:49.300 You're embarrassing us and yourself, attempting that

00:50:52.080 Other people say, with accents

00:50:55.500 Other people say, at least, it's so lazy to not even try

00:50:58.600 At least try and do an accent

00:51:00.020 When you, you know, talk about things in Germany or France

00:51:02.980 You should try and pronounce it correctly

00:51:05.560 And other people say, no, that's really pretentious

00:51:08.280 That's really pretentious

00:51:09.940 Just anglicise it and say it in an English way

00:51:11.760 Can't please everyone, can't you?

00:51:14.360 Can't please everyone

00:51:15.140 Alright

00:51:19.000 The Warsaw Pact

00:51:21.240 What's this?

00:51:22.580 A Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia

00:51:24.180 Right, 1968

00:51:25.200 Quarter of a million Soviet troops

00:51:27.600 And Warsaw Pact troops invade Czechoslovakia

00:51:30.600 At night to suppress the Prague Rising

00:51:33.540 Yeah so what's that

00:51:35.240 That's the Prague Rising in 68

00:51:38.120 It's socialism with a human face

00:51:40.740 You ever heard that

00:51:41.700 You ever heard that expression

00:51:42.900 So in 1968

00:51:45.900 You know Czechoslovakia was part of the Soviet bloc

00:51:48.680 Of course wasn't it

00:51:50.040 And they'd got a new leader

00:51:53.460 Was it Dubček

00:51:54.940 Dubček

00:51:56.560 And he brought in loads and loads of reforms

00:51:59.600 Which were massively popular in Czechoslovakia

00:52:02.020 Why?

00:52:04.280 Because the Czechoslovakian economy was

00:52:07.100 Terrible

00:52:09.400 Why?

00:52:10.920 Because of a central command

00:52:12.780 Leftist economic theory

00:52:14.300 It never ever works

00:52:15.680 It never works

00:52:17.040 Because of leftist economic theory

00:52:20.800 They were all very poor

00:52:22.420 And they didn't want it anymore

00:52:23.720 Something between 60 and 80% of people

00:52:25.800 Were crying out for change and reform

00:52:28.200 They got in this new leader, Dubček

00:52:30.300 And he started doing reforms

00:52:32.480 He's not a complete break from the Soviet Union

00:52:35.120 From Moscow or anything

00:52:36.000 But just a different way of doing socialism

00:52:38.440 Socialism with a human face, he called it

00:52:41.080 Brezhnev couldn't have that

00:52:42.940 Moscow Centre's not going to have that

00:52:45.760 So Brezhnev sends in 2,000 tanks

00:52:51.120 A quarter of a million men

00:52:52.320 Put that down

00:52:53.280 Kill a couple of hundred people

00:52:55.740 Kind of that

00:52:58.340 Again the Prague uprising

00:53:02.380 1968

00:53:03.340 There's loads more to it than that of course

00:53:06.260 That's just the York Notes version

00:53:09.400 Barely even the York Notes version

00:53:10.840 Look it up though, it's an interesting

00:53:12.020 Interesting thing

00:53:13.160 I think

00:53:14.420 1993, on this day in 1993

00:53:18.760 Oslo Peace Accords are signed between Israel

00:53:21.200 And the Palestine Liberation Organisation

00:53:23.540 The PLO

00:53:24.320 After secret negotiations in Norway

00:53:26.560 A public ceremony in DC

00:53:28.160 Is held the following month

00:53:30.000 Do you want to know about that when Bill Clinton

00:53:32.820 Bill Clinton got

00:53:35.220 What was it

00:53:35.960 Who was it

00:53:36.940 Yitzhak Rabin

00:53:37.820 He got Yitzhak Rabin

00:53:40.080 And Yasser Arafat to shake hands

00:53:43.580 Wow

00:53:45.060 And they're all friends again

00:53:47.900 Let's start singing Kumbaya

00:53:51.140 Let's get our tambourines out

00:53:54.080 Let's start singing songs about lesbian seagulls

00:54:01.380 And there's peace

00:54:02.140 Everyone's happy now

00:54:03.580 Yasser Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin shook hands

00:54:06.500 It's all over

00:54:07.000 It's all over

00:54:07.920 Don't worry about Temple Mount or anything anymore

00:54:10.060 Don't worry about the tenets of Islam and Judaism

00:54:14.460 Don't worry about any of that

00:54:15.280 Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat shook hands

00:54:18.000 And Bill Clinton was standing there

00:54:19.920 Smiling, so it's all good

00:54:21.340 We're all good now, going forward

00:54:22.680 How'd that work out for him?

00:54:32.540 Oh, Yitzhak Rabin got murdered

00:54:34.240 By his own people, a couple of years later

00:54:36.300 Ostensibly for that

00:54:38.360 For shaking hands

00:54:40.580 With a terrorist, as far as they're concerned

00:54:42.240 Yasser Arafat

00:54:44.740 Didn't die until like 10, 11 years later

00:54:46.600 But surrounded in a compound by like Israeli tanks

00:54:49.700 Or whatever

00:54:50.600 Gone down in history as sort of

00:54:53.720 The failure to make any sort of peace

00:54:55.960 If anything

00:54:56.560 The Oslo Accords

00:54:59.880 Bill Clinton's great push

00:55:01.720 To save the Middle East

00:55:05.120 Yeah right, yeah right

00:55:06.820 It's an intractable problem

00:55:10.180 Both Judaism and Islam

00:55:15.140 Claim the same bit of land

00:55:18.040 As their own

00:55:19.140 And their claim is implacable

00:55:21.900 That's at the nub of it, isn't it?

00:55:27.240 That's stripped away

00:55:29.300 As much as it could possibly be

00:55:30.960 Stripped down

00:55:32.480 Passed down to the most

00:55:34.720 Simple

00:55:36.120 State of affairs

00:55:38.020 Is that, isn't it?

00:55:40.180 that both claim the exact same spot of land

00:55:43.800 on the earth

00:55:45.180 and refuse to

00:55:47.940 share it.

00:55:53.760 So you can have all the accords and handshakes

00:55:56.160 you want.

00:55:58.740 It won't make a difference.

00:56:01.380 Ultimately.

00:56:04.260 Okay.

00:56:06.180 That's enough of that.

00:56:07.160 And now for something completely different.

00:56:08.500 our Rumble Rants and Super Chats

00:56:10.360 Rumble Rants first

00:56:13.020 we always do Rumble Rants first

00:56:14.700 I like to do the same thing every morning

00:56:18.740 because it's part of people's

00:56:19.620 people's routine

00:56:21.280 oh Bo why do you say the same phrases every day

00:56:24.400 it's deliberate

00:56:26.120 it's deliberate

00:56:26.640 yeah

00:56:27.000 because it's part of a routine

00:56:27.940 a morning routine

00:56:28.660 most people like it

00:56:31.940 prefer it

00:56:33.120 like every breakfast show

00:56:34.940 it's like a routine thing

00:56:36.160 alright

00:56:36.820 is Global Church History going to be in

00:56:38.300 number one i do hope so is it going to be a good day

00:56:43.820 first name global middle name church surname history that's his real name

00:56:53.740 uh yes he is in it i guess it's a good one and still reigning defending

00:57:00.460 the champ of breakfast with bows rumble rants global church history with his two factoids

00:57:05.900 This morning, usually, if not always, religious or church-related facts,

00:57:10.840 as his name might suggest, as his real name might suggest.

00:57:13.860 Okay, what have we got here?

00:57:14.940 Oh, no, they're not always.

00:57:15.760 They're not always.

00:57:16.140 Sometimes they're just other historical facts.

00:57:19.080 The first one here.

00:57:20.320 Today, in 480 BC, coinciding with the Spartan Carnea Festival,

00:57:26.900 the Battle of Thermopylae began.

00:57:29.120 Ah, great.

00:57:30.460 Love the Battle of Thermopylae.

00:57:33.140 Of course, if anyone's seen the film 300,

00:57:35.900 But you'll get good details in

00:57:38.380 It's Herodotus isn't it?

00:57:39.680 Doesn't Herodotus talk a little about it?

00:57:41.600 The original at the best source

00:57:42.540 Is it? Herodotus

00:57:44.260 Yeah great bit of history

00:57:47.560 Absolutely brilliant bit of history

00:57:48.800 And afterwards you've got

00:57:52.260 The Battle of Salamis at sea

00:57:54.000 And the Battle of Plataea on land

00:57:56.240 A lot of historians say

00:57:58.740 At the time and now

00:58:00.600 Although they don't all agree on it now

00:58:02.400 But

00:58:02.660 that the holding the holding effect that thermopylae had was the pass at thermopylae

00:58:11.200 only really held up the persian army for so long that really really helped the rest of the greek

00:58:17.940 world to ultimately defeat the persians at plataea and salamis that the largely spars not exclusively

00:58:26.400 spars but largely spars that held the line for a while at thermopylae made all the difference

00:58:31.840 that their lives weren't given in vain all that sort of thing king leonidas you know the story

00:58:39.740 probably do if you don't check it out look it up don't just watch 300 watch a proper

00:58:45.760 documentary or read dare i say read herodotus okay all right the second factoid here you say

00:58:54.600 in on this day in the year 636 AD the Byzantines were defeated by the Muslims at Yarmouk ending

00:59:02.520 Roman Syria yeah that's interesting isn't that interesting to note how soon how quickly the

00:59:08.320 Muslim hordes burst out of Arabia it's like the the the death of Muhammad himself is supposed to

00:59:17.660 be if he's not a fictional figure tom holland the historian not the actor in his book in the shadow

00:59:25.500 of the sword i believe it was called makes the argument that there's at least an element of

00:59:31.640 fiction to the life of muhammad if not more than a mere element anyway the date he's supposed to

00:59:38.200 have died is 632 something like that is that right 632 it's about then anyway so not long

00:59:46.200 after or straight after straight after really muslim armies just sweep out of the arabian

00:59:52.480 peninsula in all directions basically conquering nearly everything in their path

00:59:57.080 i mean the world in the early 7th century was well it was war weary and a low ebb

01:00:05.960 ripe for being reconquered nonetheless unless the byzantines beaten yarmouk

01:00:13.380 Which is like

01:00:15.740 It's a long way from Constantinople

01:00:17.400 I mean I believe that's like

01:00:18.840 Right at the bottom of modern day Syria

01:00:20.560 Or right near the top of modern day Israel

01:00:22.500 Near modern day Lebanon

01:00:23.940 That part

01:00:24.960 It's not really anywhere near Turkey

01:00:26.500 Or Constantinople

01:00:28.020 But nonetheless still

01:00:29.020 The Byzantines on paper

01:00:32.040 Would have thought

01:00:32.620 Shouldn't have been defeated by

01:00:33.860 What until very recently

01:00:37.220 Was just a ragtag Arab

01:00:39.340 Coupled together

01:00:41.020 A little more than Bedouin raiders

01:00:43.360 Oh no, now they're a professional army that can beat the Byzantines

01:00:45.700 Whoa, look out

01:00:47.000 Still takes them another, what, 800 years

01:00:52.660 Before they actually take Constantinople, nonetheless

01:00:54.560 Okay, alright

01:00:57.860 Thanks for that global church history

01:01:00.160 What other ones have we got here?

01:02:39.700 Yeah, that's the question, isn't it?

01:02:40.780 Yeah, that's exactly the question.

01:02:44.460 Once you get to a point where you have to pay some liberal women to do a little dance about their no-no square and stop, don't touch me there, or put out a pamphlet like that one,

01:02:56.800 do remember in this country as an under 16 year old isn't able to consent and you might lose your

01:03:03.500 asylum claim if you do anything to them once you're in that position it's already a bit far

01:03:10.320 beyond the power it's already far too late isn't it it's already way beyond that very thing being

01:03:15.580 able to significantly help isn't it yeah of course of course absolutely all right thick

01:05:32.740 morning you all right say hello bow been enjoying your skirmish with elite theorists tm

01:05:41.660 Yeah. They're like an obese North FC football fan screaming what they would do from the stands

01:05:51.080 whilst never doing anything constructive. Yeah. Yeah. It's a bit of a storm in a teacup, really.

01:05:58.620 Now, it's beneath contempt as far as I'm concerned. I don't buy the elite theory so infallible,

01:06:05.980 So always correct

01:06:07.400 That you should give up already

01:06:09.680 Give up at the ballot box

01:06:11.960 Just don't buy it

01:06:13.580 I'm not going to do it anyway

01:06:14.700 I'll fight for a lost cause anyway

01:06:16.980 Because I'm just not going to sit at home

01:06:19.380 And do nothing in silence

01:06:20.560 That's what they want us to do

01:06:21.720 It's not quibbling over nothing is it

01:06:24.840 It's not quibbling over nothing

01:06:25.880 We're in an existential crisis here

01:06:27.700 Fighting for our lives

01:06:30.820 Our existence

01:06:31.560 It's not nothing

01:06:32.820 It's not just a small point of doctrine

01:06:34.500 It's really important

01:06:37.180 Perhaps the most important

01:06:38.960 I've said before haven't I

01:06:40.060 This is our battle

01:06:42.360 Our war of our age

01:06:43.740 Of our generation

01:06:44.620 It's our struggle

01:06:47.000 In this generation

01:06:47.940 Is this

01:06:48.520 And I'm not going to sit at home

01:06:50.460 I'm not going to sit at home

01:06:53.040 And just pie myself in the face

01:06:54.240 If I have to pie myself in public

01:06:55.820 And ultimately lose

01:06:56.540 So be it

01:06:57.060 If you really think that

01:06:58.240 Just let us do it

01:06:59.040 If you think it's not

01:07:04.440 worth it. That's fine. You sit at home. You sit at home. You do that. Why try and stop

01:07:07.900 anyone else from trying, though? No, I'm not going to. I'm not going to have it. Right.

01:07:20.060 Pigdog5150 says, history-related things that fascinate me are events or people who existed

01:07:27.260 stroke happened at the same time star wars and france's last guillotine execution oxford uni

01:07:36.080 and the rise of the aztec empire yeah i like that as well yeah it's really uh it's really quite

01:07:41.780 interesting what else was going on in the world in 1066 for example or 1060s 1050s 1060s what

01:07:49.700 else was going on at the time great schism in the church the normal conquest of sicily that sort of

01:07:54.900 What else was going on in the world in 1588?

01:11:55.600 there's something Homeric about invoking Harry, about invoking Harry from chat,

01:12:01.620 and like Homer's gods could hear you, and just show up or respond casually, but might not,

01:12:06.960 or is that like sometimes people will say in the chat, Harry, little Harry, save us, help us,

01:12:11.740 do something or other and he might like a true capricious god he may or may not turn up to save
