00:00:00.000
Morning. You alright? Oh, that's piping hot. Straight from the kettle. Too hot for the
00:00:15.460
moment. Scold myself. How are you? Are you alright? It's just ticked 8 in the a.m. Greenwich
00:00:21.940
meantime, of course, on Thursday. It's now Thursday, Thursday already. The 26th of March
00:00:26.020
in the year of our lord 2026 you are the very best among us watching the bow show live my band of
00:00:33.840
brothers the glorious band the chosen few i am joined as always by my producer little harry how
00:00:40.160
are you this morning good sir yeah i'm all good good great and i really do hope all you guys are
00:00:47.540
all right and thanks for watching breakfast with Bo
00:01:07.400
the real LBC let's get straight into it what is the corporate mainstream media
00:01:11.400
banging on about this morning what they trying to tell you is important and what
00:01:18.440
All right, we've got Iran rejects peace plan
0.61
00:01:26.860
This is to do with a bank who lost a load of money
00:01:28.860
and the Treasury is going to bail them out probably, almost certainly.
00:01:37.580
All right, The Guardian, straight off the bat, The Guardian.
00:01:43.480
one minute past eight and we're looking at the Guardian
00:02:04.640
one of the biggest things, at least on the front
00:02:12.720
with Iran are sort of real or not one thing Iran said yesterday is that the US is having peace
00:02:19.720
talks with itself i.e they've got nothing to do with it they sort of insist that there's been no
00:02:27.440
peace talks but also as I said yesterday also though there must have been some dialogue on
00:02:34.860
some level you know Tehran counters with own plan and vows to continue fighting so Trump or the
00:02:41.860
trump administration put together a 15-part plan maybe it went through pakistani intermediaries
00:02:48.020
but one way or another iran has rejected that so even to reject a plan formally officially
00:02:55.160
means that there's some sort of dialogue going on well not necessarily that could all be done
00:02:59.480
through the media couldn't it anyway iran have rejected that plan and come up with their own one
00:03:04.460
and their own one is as you can imagine as unreasonable as any israeli or american one
00:03:10.400
would be just these are all our this is our dream list of things take it or leave it you know not
00:03:17.640
really a properly reasonable set of demands but there you go okay they'll just continue fighting
00:03:24.680
i mean that is the thing on the grand strategic level is iran doesn't have to stop if he doesn't
00:03:32.280
want to i mean it's to me it seems crazy they wouldn't stop as soon as they could you know
00:03:45.400
they're moving more troops to the region if anything
00:04:11.800
I was talking about Israel not the United States
00:04:35.860
But that would unleash just an ongoing conflagration.
00:04:53.780
I mean, he doesn't like being rebuffed, does he?
00:04:59.200
But, you know, the Donald particularly doesn't take kindly to that sort of thing, does he?
00:05:18.860
Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions.
00:05:31.860
I shouldn't joke really, it's not funny, people, people getting killed, it's the frost, sometimes it makes the blade stick.
00:05:47.860
Ok, YouTube and Meta lose pivotal court case, yeah so this is the thing all about, it was in America, I think it was in Los Angeles,
00:06:22.300
They were responsible for her addiction to social media
00:06:31.800
I think they awarded her like 6 million bucks or something
00:06:34.200
Which of course is an absolute drop in the ocean
00:06:46.640
So 6 million quid is a complete drop in the ocean
00:06:50.400
it's sort of um sets a precedent doesn't it the legal precedent that other people can now
00:06:57.080
bring a very very similar case and that might well in the end cost loads and loads and loads
00:07:04.200
of money and probably also make social media platforms have to change the way they do things
00:07:10.480
people saying it's like the the social media tobacco moment right when big tobacco lost a
00:07:16.920
number of cases and were forced to profoundly change the way they do business right back when
00:07:23.480
I was a kid or even a teenager you'd have tobacco advertisements everywhere for example Formula One
00:07:31.220
I know 89% of you don't like Formula One but I'm not going to talk about racing just as an example
00:07:36.200
in racing there would be tobacco advertisements all over the cars all over the billboards and
00:07:42.620
they had to change all of that it just became sort of illegal because the world decided or
00:07:47.940
courts decided that it was just uh it was wrong to let particularly kids or young people just see
00:07:56.920
cigarette advertising all the place all over the place and then on the actual packet of the
00:08:01.180
cigarettes you know half the packet or more of the than the whole packet nearly the whole front
00:08:07.200
and back of the packet is just a big thing that says smoking kills that never used to be the case
00:08:11.860
anyway anyway just an example social media's sort of tobacco moment where they might have
00:08:18.480
to change profoundly the way they operate and do things or face paying out millions and millions
00:08:24.540
and millions and millions of pounds all the time to anyone that claims they got addicted to it and
00:08:28.340
harmed by it now far be it from me to stan for giant multi-national multi-billion international
00:08:41.440
corporations and things. That's a cliche, isn't it? Like some weird lefty soy boy clutching
0.89
00:08:49.280
his pearls saying, you leave the multi-billion corporation alone. However, just in the interests
00:08:57.160
of fairness, if I was a judge in that case, I probably wouldn't have ruled in favour of
00:09:01.920
the plaintiff. I'm of the opinion that if you're addicted to something, it's sort of
00:09:07.960
on you most of the time maybe not always well definitely not always but most of the time
00:09:14.080
like you get addicted to drinking monster energy drinks red bull that's on you isn't it
00:09:24.380
like if you get addicted to meth it's sort of on you isn't it you know the dealer doesn't
00:09:32.340
help the situation, sure, but ultimately it's up to you, isn't it? Like you get addicted
00:09:39.880
to cake. It's not the cake manufacturer's fault, is it? Really. That's how I feel about
00:09:48.140
it. You know, I know not everyone would agree with that. I feel the same with this. If you
00:09:53.840
got addicted to scrolling through Facebook or watching YouTube, you got addicted to watching
00:09:59.920
youtube videos to the point where it harmed you uh it's sort of on you to sort that out
00:10:07.460
take responsibility for your own actions and your own life a bit
00:10:11.660
almost entirely is that just me am i being really harsh am i missing something here
00:10:17.640
all right all right so here we go meta and youtube are responsible for people watching
00:10:24.500
too much of their stuff all right reform hit by reform uk hit by new ban on crypto donations
00:10:33.600
well it's not just reform is it and it hasn't i don't think it's actually happened yet it's just
00:10:38.960
the government talking about they want to do that i think that's the case yeah i think it's just that
00:10:43.680
starmer and the government want to do that or say they're going to do that donations to a political
00:10:49.320
party through cryptocurrency i mean i believe reform might be hardest hit because to their
00:10:56.920
credit last i saw what a few days ago a week ago they got the most donations out of any party
00:11:02.520
any party all the big parties get a few million a year from people just donating to them
00:11:10.980
and reform got the most i think i think comfortably as well um so something like
00:11:17.980
that crypto donations that they would be probably hardest hit but it won't be them alone and
00:11:27.240
if people really want to donate to a political party they can still do it just not through
00:11:34.440
crypto if the government gets its way I mean it's a bit much anyway okay all right this
00:12:14.260
metaface avalanche of claims after court ruling
00:12:37.020
Trump fly us into rage as Iran rejects peace deal
00:13:01.900
But there's already something like 50,000 service people in the region anyway.
00:13:06.080
All of those are not infantry combat soldiers, are they?
00:13:08.800
But still, there's tens of thousands of soldiers, one way or another, in the region, US ones.
00:13:17.620
So, I mean, I wouldn't be surprised at all if, you know, over the weekend or next week at some point,
00:13:54.480
Royal Navy forced to borrow warship from Germany
00:14:06.340
Because it's about the best thing you get from Fleet Street
00:14:09.600
Britain unable to meet NATO commitments next month
00:14:27.500
not one not one frigate okay UK will still be in command of military task
00:14:35.480
force in Atlantic and Baltic but will be doing so aboard a German frigate King
00:14:45.860
George V would be turning in his grave and Kaiser Bill be laughing his head off
00:15:07.740
it puts us in peril, all the cuts have come home to roost
00:15:22.900
strategic island that would be that Karg Island won't it or various other small
00:15:28.040
islands in the Straits of Hormuz specifically as you know you've got on
00:15:33.560
the map you've got the Straits of Hormuz themselves and then the bigger wider
00:15:36.240
Persian Gulf but yeah might be various islands who knows and finally Trump will
00:15:43.540
quote unleash hell quote if regime fails to accept defeat well they're not
00:16:05.940
Danish politics isn't a massive thing although I know we have got a few Danes
00:16:12.140
they've been ruled by lefty governments for quite a long time, well
00:16:14.620
they have coalition governments nearly all the time
00:16:27.620
and uh... now they're still got the most after this new section of still got the
00:16:37.640
uh... but the right-leaning parties have done much much better
00:16:41.620
they're only a little bit behind now rather than a long way behind
00:16:46.160
I believe that's the situation. Correct me if I'm wrong.
00:16:49.680
Kremlin bolsters Iran's war effort by shipping drones, medicines and food.
00:16:55.020
Yeah, so that does seem to be sort of a true, you know, accurate piece of reporting.
00:17:00.820
It's not just like one analyst said Putin has done this now and don't ask us for any evidence.
00:17:06.720
It's not that. No, it seems like that's really happening.
00:17:25.120
The Meta and Google liable for children's mental health in landmark years ruling
00:17:30.720
Alright, now the Telegraph, the Daily Toregraph
00:17:45.920
Justice Secretary. Someone like David Lammy as Justice Secretary. Someone like Andrew the Fridge
00:17:51.300
Rainer in the sidelines hoping to be Prime Minister. Some complete moral and political
00:17:55.960
weakling idiot like Keir Starmer as the leader. Some cuckoo in the nest like Olukemi Badenoch
1.00
00:18:04.260
as the leader of the opposition. Some weird globalist traitor sausage fingers man as king.
0.99
00:18:50.980
What's the point in having a national religion
0.98
00:19:07.080
Right, that's not an Eastern Orthodox priest, is it?
00:19:13.260
That's not going to be a Catholic priest doing that, right, is it?
00:19:16.220
It's not an Evangelical doing that, saying that, thinking that, is it?
0.96
00:20:05.660
after NS&I misplaces cash from 37,000 customers.
00:20:26.800
Actually, more to that story than you accidentally misplaced it.
00:20:31.100
Someone accidentally highlighted a few numbers in an Excel spreadsheet
00:20:39.320
No, there'll be much more to it than that won't there, much much more
00:20:42.500
Nevertheless that's all you need to know, proles
00:20:48.820
We just misplaced it, now pay up, £400 million please, HM Treasury
00:21:06.200
Because of course it's in their interest not to
00:21:21.780
You did get it stolen out of your hand in London one day
00:21:24.220

00:23:04.460
And it was to help me understand drug culture as my role at justice.
00:23:12.080
It was to help me to understand the reality of illegal drug use and things.
00:23:27.800
and and the the sex party element to it as well was that just to understand
00:23:37.860
there's various uh those people there was a guy that was in the thick of it was it
00:23:45.040
and pete townsend from the who both got caught with like child underage child images they're
00:23:52.300
It's for research! I'm going to write a book about it. I'm researching it.
00:24:07.300
Did Pete Townshend ever publish a book about it?
00:24:16.300
The Daily Mail, the mail group, complete slop, trying to pretend it's not a complete slop.
00:24:20.300
A very convenient theft. Yeah, it is, yeah. Guy Adams, that's a Daily Mail dude, investigates
00:24:26.040
curious case of number 10 chief, his WhatsApps to Mandelson and the handily timed disappearance
00:24:31.760
of his phone. Yeah, very handy, wasn't it? Now, this is a horrible story. There's the
00:24:38.080
Princess of Wales, Catherine Middleton, looking radiant as ever. This story, AI bot told
00:24:43.500
teen to use a hammer to kill his mother yeah this guy was like 18 kid guy well 18 you're a grown-up
00:24:50.860
aren't you legally an adult this man young man young man this young man killed his own mum
0.97
00:24:58.940
i think he like he tortured her and eventually bludgeoned her to death with a hammer
00:25:04.940
and his saying and various other people saying that he was talked into it by a chat bot some sort
00:25:15.940
Probably wasn't the main factor, I wouldn't have thought, like he was completely well
00:25:21.940
had a healthy relationship with his mother, then
00:25:28.200
kill her with a hammer now, and he went oh yeah, and then just did it.
00:25:33.460
Misogynistic son bludgeoned her to death following chilling online chat.
00:25:58.720
it's not much more than that, it's not really intelligent
00:26:06.740
sitting there going, hmm, we'll manipulate
0.99
00:26:08.380
this young man into killing his mum. No, he didn't think anything, did he? He would have
0.97
00:26:14.660
been interacting with it in such a way that he ended up saying that.
00:26:28.520
Statement of fact, it's a good paper, full stop.
00:27:10.100
I know Labour don't. I know Starmer had trouble defining a woman, didn't he?
00:27:16.100
Didn't David Lammy argue that a man can have a cervix?
00:27:26.920
The sun, what nonsense has the sun gone with today
00:27:34.860
Yeah, we asked that question, everyone asked that question at the time
00:27:37.380
How did he get away without a custodial sentence?
00:27:42.560
Because loads and loads of judges in this country
00:28:17.440
as in like coal mines iron ore mines not like sea mines or land mines the deadly mines at the heart
00:28:25.720
of trump's bid to profit from africa for only five pound a day workers risk their lives in a war zone
00:28:33.340
extracting minerals world affairs editors sam kiley reports from the democratic republic of
00:28:39.080
the congo and what the u.s president's brazen commercial interests actually means
00:29:19.720
lots and lots and lots of people in the world are terribly exploited,
00:29:23.880
whether it's in the Congo or North Korea or a million and one places.
00:29:30.180
And responsibility for that can be widely shared, can't it?
00:29:40.660
for responsibility from Xi Jinping to Putin to Trump to the British government to all of
00:29:45.880
everyone in the world that sees it and doesn't actively do something about it right but what
00:29:51.640
about the government of the Congo itself is that not responsible for like the well-being of its
00:29:59.540
workers in some way what these five pound a day workers that Trump is exploiting what they're all
0.78
00:30:05.700
directly got contracts with the US companies if they know no it won't be that will it it won't
00:30:11.460
be that it'll be that a US something like a US or Russian or Chinese companies got a deal with
00:30:17.340
the country or with companies in the country just they bid they get I won't even go into it
00:30:26.960
it's a sad reality though isn't it it's a sad reality that lots and lots of people are forced
00:30:33.560
of one way or another to basically work for very very little money doing very very hard work
00:30:38.440
to just say it's just trump though it it's trump's fault that
00:30:56.120
it's an entire web an entire world of injustice
00:31:03.560
But it's Mr. Trump's brazen commercial interests that are the problem with it
00:31:10.960
It's painting a very very certain particular picture for you isn't it
00:31:28.460
What they're going to lie to you about by omission
00:31:32.860
What about Chinese brazen commercial interests in Africa
0.97
00:32:14.660
he's obviously told he can do anything he wants
00:32:19.400
you've really got, but he's a singer-songwriter
00:32:28.700
That's front news, put that on the front page of the mirror
00:32:57.480
but it would be nice if he did it would be the right thing to do wouldn't it
00:33:03.280
new demand for shamed former prince to give evidence in america i i would like him to don't
00:33:09.480
get me wrong that would be great he won't i highly highly doubt he will highly doubt
00:33:15.360
top u.s democrat says he andrew uh should see epstein testimony as a service
00:33:23.820
yeah it's his duty or it's like his service so national service he should he should do it
00:33:29.580
technically it's not but it is though isn't it colloquially like it is it would be
00:33:37.020
he should right it'd be sort of ethically morally the right thing to do for him to
00:33:42.960
do that i really doubt he will he doesn't have to by law so he won't because that's how he's
00:33:48.660
played it all along all the way along the whole thing is if he's not actually fully 100% legally
00:33:55.840
compelled to do or say anything about it he won't so i mean jamie raskin if you want to get sort of
00:34:06.220
a full-blown interpol arrest warrant for him and an extradition to the united states
00:35:19.500
That actually looks like Toad of Toad Hall in that one
00:35:30.360
That's it, that's the front pages for this morning
00:36:52.420
Right, he doesn't usually just completely bluff
00:36:54.400
You know, if he says he's going to do something
00:37:20.480
Really what is the definition of unleashing hell
00:37:33.000
won't we we'll see what happens uh let's have a look at the websites then what we've got on
00:37:37.660
websites today trump unleashing hell it says the iranians are afraid to admit that they're talking
00:37:44.740
to him that may well be true might not be true might not but it could be true that they've got
00:37:49.920
their own domestic audience to think about and even if they are talking to him they can't be
00:37:55.260
they can't admit that they are they will be true i saw a report yesterday again don't know if it's
00:38:01.680
It was just a report saying that really, really hard-liners within Iran,
00:38:07.580
particularly within their military-industrial complex, what's left of it,
00:38:12.300
if they get wind of anyone, any of the political leadership
00:38:17.220
talking to the United States or Israel, if they hear of that
00:38:21.360
they, the Iranian internal security forces,
0.99
00:38:25.420
they'll just kill them as traitors or something.
0.98
00:38:58.560
and is even weaker source than the BBC if anything
00:39:01.060
so I don't usually go to them very much anymore
00:39:19.780
and then were just arrested and accused of being spies
00:39:28.360
you know i would thought they're probably not but they might be i talked about the other time
00:39:33.860
didn't i how there's shades of gray it's not that you're literally an employee of mi6
00:39:38.480
you're not literally on their books as an intelligence officer or anything like that
00:39:47.900
but you are they are in communication with you in some limited sense even through someone that you
00:39:55.100
don't even know is in my6 and they say to you something like if you're going to go here in
00:40:00.980
iran if you're going on a genuine legit cycling holiday through persia which is crazy anyway but
00:40:08.500
it doesn't have to be persia could be anywhere you're going on a holiday to greece and there's
00:40:12.300
this one place there that we're interested in like a particular hangar in an airport a commercial
00:40:19.120
airport or anything one particular facility that's way out in rural areas if you happen to cycle
00:40:24.820
past that or hike past that take a couple of a few pictures of it for us
00:40:30.180
and then when you come back give us those pictures and it's just that so you're like
00:40:37.800
you're not in mi6 you're not a spy but you're doing a tiny amount of espionage and spying work
00:40:45.040
on their behalf and you may they may engineer it so you don't even really know that's what you're
00:40:50.160
doing it's dirt isn't it's like the dirty world of intelligence and counterintelligence and
00:40:56.860
espionage and stuff i would suspect that either there's nothing to it and these two people are
00:41:01.640
completely innocent or it's something like what i just described that there's a very small
00:41:06.740
connection with between them and the intelligence services and they barely knew what they were
00:41:12.960
involved in that or they're completely innocent i would have thought you know it might turn out
00:41:55.600
Nigel earns loads of money he's a very very rich man
00:41:59.340
43 grand from cameos I think that's just in the last
00:42:15.020
the salary for being an MP alone isn't too shabby
00:42:18.840
There'll be loads of other, you'll have loads of other income streams, I would imagine.
00:42:26.820
Farage had previously apologised for failing to report outside earnings within the required time frame
00:42:31.640
after the Parliamentary Standards Watchdog found he had breached the MP's Code of Conduct 17 times
00:42:55.880
Because he is also independently very very rich
00:43:13.800
all right all right love uh there's something on the mail online there usually is actually
00:43:20.580
usually is something of mild interest oh yeah trump slaps down bibby
00:43:27.060
apparently netty had said again that the iranian people should rise up and take control of their
00:43:36.360
country and things and trump said why the hell would would i do like you wanted trump to do that
0.57
00:43:42.260
as well. And Trump said, why the hell would I do that? They'll just get moaned down.
00:43:48.220
Trump, Trump in furious break with Netanyahu as he slaps down Israel's plan to topple Tehran
00:43:52.880
regime. So yeah, just quickly said, why the hell should we take, this is Trump's words,
00:43:59.720
why the hell should we tell people to take to the streets when they'll just get moaned down?
00:44:06.620
Yeah, I mean, that's a reasonable assessment of it, isn't it? I think,
00:44:10.460
because the iranian regime has still got loads of
00:44:13.900
armed police and security services of various straps
00:44:18.140
out on the streets and checkpoints everywhere with machine guns even heavy machine guns on
00:44:25.940
the back of like toyotas and stuff you know so so what trump said there seems like a reasonable
0.66
00:44:30.280
whereas bibi just like go on go on go on iranian people get yourself killed
1.00
00:45:07.000
supreme leader and the shadowy firebrand who may now be the best bet for peace yeah still haven't
00:45:14.020
seen the ayatollah the new ayatollah still haven't seen him if he was um you know if he was terribly
00:45:19.960
wounded maimed in that initial attack and or is in a coma what a crazy decision it was to name him
00:45:31.440
as the next ayatollah then crazy because that's what people were saying at the time when it was
00:45:36.100
coming out i think maybe principled uncertainty or someone said but that's crazy isn't it
00:45:40.980
why would they pick him surely they surely he isn't or not surely but you know questioning
00:45:47.220
it wouldn't it wouldn't add up it wouldn't make sense if he was in a coma or terribly wounded
00:45:54.400
but that does it is looking now though that that's exactly what happened
00:45:59.860
odd decision making isn't it odd decision making
00:46:07.240
all right should we have a look at uh was there anything in the express i think there was one
00:46:13.840
mild thing of mild interest in the express oh look they're trying to make out like there's
00:46:17.520
there's no foods in the shop anymore not true at all urgent food shortage warning issued in event
00:46:53.880
things that will last pickled gherkins whatever they'll just buy all the fresh fruit and veg rather
00:47:00.440
not just things that will last they'll buy all the fresh fruit and veg that's there all the toilet
00:47:03.560
paper that's available panic because they're not thinking for themselves they're not they're not
00:47:09.080
really perceiving reality properly express online will tell them a liar and they'll just buy it
00:47:16.120
completely wholesale and then start making big big decisions in their life based on that
00:47:49.840
back to french waters well in the news today you're wondering what does that look like is that
00:47:56.480
a thing is that really a thing yeah look exactly that this half a dozen or ten of these in the
00:48:04.220
channel problem solved end of story end of story oh we've got them oh we've got them oh yeah
00:48:10.480
the story is here though more in the north sea the sea between britain and you know belgium and
00:48:19.240
holland and denmark that bit where russian ships go sbs cleared to raid russian shadow fleet
00:48:26.320
as dithering starmer u-turns again oh so we can deploy speedboats full of special boat service
00:48:33.100
dudes against russian tankers that we can do and are going to do have done in the past that we can
00:48:42.020
do, but the invasion at the Channel between Calais and Dover, where we're being flooded
00:48:48.660
by foreign criminals, many of whom are just pure economic migrants, a drain on our country
1.00
00:48:54.800
and or sex criminals and or murderers, we can't do that.
0.98
00:49:16.540
Put the murderers and rapists in the channel
0.81
00:49:33.700
these dudes and we're towing you back to french waters it's not nobody needs to get hurt or
00:49:42.020
killed or anything it's just we're forcibly doing it though if you try and resist you might get hurt
00:49:47.840
so just don't resist while we tow you back to french waters do that for a few days a few weeks
00:49:54.000
maybe the smugglers will probably get the the i get the picture get the picture
00:50:01.020
and then we'll keep like two or three of them in Dover to prevent it ever happening again
00:50:08.500
if there's a chancer who tries their luck on a sunny day
0.83
00:50:11.100
it's not it's not difficult it wouldn't cost a huge amount or anything
00:50:26.960
all right the sun did we have anything else in the sun other than just to mention the
00:50:36.580
yeah look red october brick commandos will board and seize putin's sanctioned dodging
00:50:44.980
shadow fleet ships if they pass through uk waters yeah look again we've got we've got
00:50:49.620
Royal Marines and special operators who are trained to do something far more serious than
00:50:57.840
towing a dinghy back to the waters at Calais Beach. Highly trained.
00:51:08.020
Right, oh, it's 10-2. It's 10-2 already. Shall we have a look at this day in history before we do the
00:51:11.800
super checks and rumble rents? What happened on this day in history? I like doing that. You seem
00:51:15.500
to like me doing that. On the 26th of March, down through the centuries, what happened of note?
00:51:19.620
In the year 1027, Pope John XIX crowns Conrad II as Holy Roman Emperor, founder of the Salian dynasty.
00:51:29.240
Yeah, I know a little bit about that, not a fantastic amount.
00:51:32.580
Conrad II, he's most famous really for being sort of, what, like an administrator type dude, like, among other things.
00:51:54.280
Made the state more centralised in various ways
00:52:00.880
There you go, it's not the most fantastically interesting
00:52:05.760
Holy Roman Emperor that ever lived, but there you go
00:52:23.620
Right during the middle of the Peninsula War really isn't it 1812
00:52:27.260
Or we've got like the Battle of Salamanca or something going on in Spain
00:52:46.940
Municipal elections bring revolutionaries to power in Paris
00:52:50.940
Who formed the short-lived Paris Commune government
00:53:20.420
Germany and France had a war before World War I.
00:53:22.500
Full-blown proper war, 1870-1871. The Germans win
1.00
00:53:25.520
fairly easily. Big battle at Sudan. The Germans march all the way to Paris
0.97
00:53:44.440
Like just complete collapse of government after government and things
00:53:51.080
They fear that the Germans might enter Paris and ransack it
1.00
00:54:06.840
There's just complete political turmoil in France
00:54:15.640
At that point there was a short-lived Paris Commune
00:54:33.700
so won't go into it here but um they tried to set up all sorts of barricades that they could defend
00:54:39.940
paris all right look into it watch a youtube video if you're it is an interesting it's a very very
00:54:45.540
interesting story the war of 1870 to 1871 the franco-prussian war one side effect of which was
00:54:55.320
the parish commune all right oh and commies and leftists and reds to this day talk about the
00:55:17.440
if you look at the details of it, it's embarrassing
00:55:52.140
against the constitutional government in Persia
00:56:28.960
and not just the current islamic regime all of them that they are suspicious of their neighbors
00:56:37.400
and the big powers russia the uk france the united states that they're suspicious of them
00:56:43.560
yeah because we have dicked around with them quite a lot over the years
00:56:54.020
In 1942, the first Eichmann transport to Auschwitz and Birkenau concentration camps
00:57:04.420
In 1953, Dr Jonas Salk announces that he has successfully tested a vaccine to prevent polio
00:57:19.580
yeah great polio is a terrible scourge on humanity good okay oh what else we got sorry
1.00
00:57:28.520
in 1966 66 large-scale anti-vietnam war protests take place in the united states
00:57:33.940
including in new york washington dc and chicago yes quite early on 1966 i mean the war only kicked
00:57:39.460
off big time in 1965 i mean there were it goes back further than that i mean there were u.s
00:57:46.460
military advisors in there, back in the Kennedy days even, but largely kicked off, escalated
00:57:54.580
massively in 1965, and already then, by 1966, large-scale protests against it, that carried
00:58:02.160
on. By the Nixon years, the White House was almost barricaded in by protesters, constant
00:58:08.980
protesting. In 1971, Bangladesh, formerly known as East Pakistan, under Sheikh Rahman,
00:58:20.300
declares independence from Pakistan. Anyone who doesn't know, there used to be East and
00:58:26.460
West Pakistan. Bangladesh was just East Pakistan. And it was like one political entity, basically.
00:59:02.580
says the idea of the donald negotiating with himself seems like dark helmet from space balls
0.87
00:59:09.440
with his toys what you went over my helmet love space balls i haven't thought about space balls
00:59:18.520
in years but i've seen it like 20 times when i was a kid used to love space balls had it on vhs so
00:59:25.140
you say uh starmer said he couldn't green light the drilling new oil fields
00:59:30.960
so who runs the country now oh yeah that was a story i meant to talk about this morning maybe
00:59:34.460
i'll talk about it tomorrow next week or whenever it comes up again our prime minister said he
00:59:38.580
doesn't control whether we drill oil in the north sea or not he's delegated all of that the entire
00:59:44.520
decision making process and the final green light to the energy secretary red ed milliband who's a
00:59:50.400
crazy environmentalist weirdo real weirdo so the prime minister's just completely absented himself
00:59:57.260
from that entire process which is crazy shouldn't shouldn't do he hasn't the
0.76
01:00:01.520
fight the buck stops with him something as big as that but no that's just up to
01:00:11.260
you would see our country bankrupted and destroyed
01:00:24.560
wouldn't Mandy's phone have a record of his convos with McSweeney
01:00:38.440
in other previous criminal investigations and things
01:00:43.000
you drop your whole phone and the SIM card in acid
01:00:46.900
don't the phone companies or whatsapp itself still hold remember what was said somehow somewhere
01:00:54.800
no yeah and if they've got the other half of the conversation i.e mandy's phone
01:01:00.920
it doesn't quite add up it doesn't it feels to me like the idea that mcsweeney whoops now he's
01:01:07.540
lost his phone it's just gone and it's gone uh that that's not the end of the story i feel like
01:01:11.980
i might be wrong i am so technically inept i don't really know about these things at all so
01:01:46.880
I've got a multi-part series all about the Coeur de Lyon, Richard I, King Richard I, and of course he went on the Third Crusade, in Ultramar in the Crusader Kingdoms, modern day Lebanon, Jerusalem, Egypt, and he had a crusade against Saladin, Salahuddin,
01:02:40.440

01:05:39.420
okay real mr bra says what's the intro song's name also why did you guys stop streaming the
01:05:53.080
main podcast here okay so the second question uh that's nothing to do with me that was a business
01:06:01.840
decision I don't make really hardly any business decisions Carl and various few other people in
01:06:07.180
the background and I don't know their thinking I don't know I don't know really their decision
01:06:11.940
making process of why they decided to do that but there would have been there would have been
01:06:16.360
reasons there were there are reasons to do with I don't know like maximizing there's all sorts of
01:06:23.080
it's a little bit of a dark art of trying to game the algorithm trying to do what's best for a given
01:06:29.200
channel like whether it's best to stream there or not or cut things into bits or not whether it
01:06:35.880
should be long how many shorts you do endlessly tweaking thumbnails there would have been a whole
01:06:41.140
reason why they did it but i can't tell you about it i don't really know much about that even on my
01:06:45.540
own channel state of politics state of politics i leave all that stuff up to nate mr h reviews
01:06:50.280
i don't know about it and despite this being my job i'm not inclined to learn about it either
01:06:57.580
i'll leave that to other people so there will be a reason but i couldn't really tell you in detail
01:07:02.740
why and then what's the intro song's name harry has it even got a name i'm not sure it's even got
01:07:07.680
a name is it it's just like a bit of music that was just has it got a name yes i did say i'd do
01:07:14.200
this yesterday but i forgot so i'll find out what the name is okay yeah find out some detail about
01:07:20.000
it and maybe tomorrow morning or next week or something at some point maybe at the top of the
01:07:23.920
show i'll tell everyone i'll go i'll say we've had a few people asking about this bit of music what's
01:07:30.160
