00:01:52.500 There's other things as well

00:01:54.500 We'll get into it

00:01:55.860 Like the Daily Mail, pure slot the mail

00:01:58.860 Really is, and I say it all the time, or every day in fact

00:02:02.080 But it really is pure subversion

00:02:06.180 Globalist subversion

00:02:08.020 They're not on your side

00:02:10.220 They're not on your side

00:02:12.040 You think sometimes because they print an article which is based

00:02:15.920 Or seems based

00:02:16.700 They'll say something patriotic

00:02:20.960 You know, they'll print sometimes someone that's moaning about migration or something

00:02:25.860 Don't be fooled, don't be fooled

00:02:29.860 They hate the native people of these islands, hate them 1.00

00:02:33.860 Try and undermine them, work against them 1.00

00:02:37.860 That's the male, that's the male group, don't be fooled

00:02:50.840 Wearing the onesie of a nationalist 0.99

00:02:54.640 Alright

00:02:57.540 Something about Kate Moss

00:02:59.720 If only people knew how witty Kate Moss was

00:03:02.460 She's not, don't worry

00:03:03.480 That way people try and say

00:03:07.080 George Bush Jr. was really clever and quick

00:03:09.760 Behind closed doors

00:03:10.780 No he wasn't

00:03:11.880 Gordon Brown was actually really personable

00:03:14.860 And warm behind closed doors

00:03:16.020 No he wasn't

00:03:16.980 Kate Moss is actually really witty

00:03:19.100 No 0.96

00:03:38.600 Anyone who's foreign might not know that by Dole 0.67

00:03:40.920 That just means sort of welfare

00:03:42.000 Just a British word for that

00:03:45.060 But yeah, okay

00:03:46.160 yeah there's far too many people in this country for how many jobs there are to go around yeah

00:03:53.380 you flooded us with millions

00:03:55.260 of new people millions there's some reports might see it later on the main websites

00:04:03.460 saying like for every one job that goes to a native a native white young person there's like

00:04:10.640 20, was it 20, 25 jobs go to a new person, a migrant even, an actual migrant. 0.99

00:04:20.500 Yeah, that's just one of the terrible consequences of flooding us with hundreds of thousands

00:04:25.380 net of new people every single year, gross millions of people every single year, is it

00:04:32.140 ruins the job market.

00:04:34.920 There's not enough jobs, quite simply, there's not enough houses, there's not enough jobs,

00:04:39.060 There's not enough doctors, dentists

00:04:41.940 But you try and talk about it 1.00

00:04:46.420 If you want re-migration 1.00

00:04:47.620 You're an evil Nazi 1.00

00:04:50.340 Hope not hate will try and destroy you 1.00

00:04:52.920 Try and add you to that list of jobless people

00:04:57.240 You know, the corporate mainstream media

00:05:01.760 Like the mail

00:05:03.300 Will try and destroy you

00:05:05.040 The express 0.97

00:05:07.520 If you try and talk about it

00:05:10.840 You'll just get countered with

00:05:12.140 More safe and legal routes actually

00:05:14.120 Bigger

00:05:14.560 That's what they do

00:05:16.420 That's what they say

00:05:17.020 Madness isn't it

00:05:18.300 Absolute

00:05:19.480 Suicidal madness

00:05:21.560 Open borders and globalism

00:05:24.960 And outgroup preference

00:05:27.060 Okay

00:05:31.440 This young woman was in Sheffield

00:05:33.260 Having a night out 0.99

00:05:35.300 Completely innocent 1.00

00:05:36.060 Some disgusting gangster 1.00

00:05:39.720 Started shooting 1.00

00:05:40.840 She got hit in the crossfire

00:05:41.960 Killed

00:05:42.340 Brilliant

00:05:45.040 Thanks Blair

00:05:46.900 Lawless Britain

00:05:50.900 Okay

00:05:56.660 Labour must reform welfare

00:06:00.080 Lost generation of younger people 0.70

00:06:01.960 To a life on the dole

00:06:03.100 The party will be warned today

00:06:05.420 Alan Milburn

00:06:06.880 Former Labour Cabinet Minister Alan Milburn

00:06:11.820 Has made this report, he's talking about this

00:06:13.720 That's funny

00:06:14.620 That's funny, I seem to remember Alan Milburn

00:06:18.640 Being involved in new Labour from the very beginning

00:06:21.840 Being involved at the heart of the Blair Wright project

00:06:28.640 From the beginning

00:06:29.500 Even he was in government during the Brown years as well

00:06:32.940 Weren't you Alan

00:06:34.360 Responsible for

00:06:35.760 The state of the country

00:06:36.920 Wearing

00:06:37.280 To some degree

00:06:38.660 To a large degree

00:06:39.500 But now you're moaning about it

00:06:42.160 Now you're worried about

00:06:45.360 A lost generation 0.88

00:06:46.100 Okay

00:06:47.180 Alan Milburn

00:06:51.220 I don't know where these politicians

00:06:54.280 Get the call

00:06:54.980 You know like

00:06:55.520 In reform you know

00:06:56.660 Like Robert Jenrick

00:06:57.440 Or

00:06:57.820 Nadine Dorries 0.93

00:06:59.040 Or

00:06:59.560 Nadine Shwahari

00:07:01.220 Whatever his name is

00:07:02.020 all these people

00:07:03.300 they're now trying to tell you

00:07:06.100 what's wrong with the country

00:07:07.000 and how they're going to fix it

00:07:08.320 Alan Milburn

00:07:11.000 Andy Burnham

00:07:12.080 going to tell us what needs to be done

00:07:14.120 how to fix it

00:07:15.100 how to fix their mistakes

00:07:17.120 their lack of judgement

00:07:19.280 their insane world view

00:07:20.520 they'll fix it now

00:07:22.260 they know what to do now do they

00:07:23.280 shut up Alan Milburn 1.00

00:07:26.520 disgusting creature 1.00

00:07:29.740 what on earth 0.99

00:07:31.120 Alan Milburn

00:07:31.920 Get in the bin of history, Alan Milburn

00:07:36.200 These people

00:07:40.800 The iPaper

00:07:42.180 Call for welfare reforms

00:07:44.060 This is probably the main story

00:07:44.960 In the papers on Fleet Street today

00:07:47.260 Call for welfare reforms to save young people

00:07:50.220 From becoming lost generation

00:07:51.620 You know what might help?

00:07:53.740 You know what might help a lost generation of young people

00:07:55.900 That can't find work? 0.99

00:07:56.840 A giant program of re-migration 1.00

00:08:02.920 To get rid of the millions of people in this country 1.00

00:08:05.560 Foreign born millions of people in this country 1.00

00:08:07.280 And ease pressure on job markets 0.96

00:08:13.780 That would help wouldn't it

00:08:15.740 No I can't do that

00:08:16.520 More safe and legal routes if anything

00:08:18.300 Someone like me, someone like us

00:08:23.580 Someone like Rupert or whatever

00:08:25.000 Will say something like that

00:08:26.840 Nope. Instead we'll put a Muslim woman as Home Secretary who will just try and browbeat 1.00

00:08:33.540 you and tell you more safe and legal roots if anything. That's what you get. That's what 1.00

00:08:38.120 they give you. Britain faces a quote, a generational fault line, says Alan Milburn. A generation

00:08:49.060 you've condemned to this, Alan, in which more than 1.25 million young people could be out

00:08:56.060 work unless labor takes action worklessness czar warns a worklessness czar okay all right

00:09:09.820 crazy unless labor takes action

00:09:14.380 they're not going to say they don't know what to do anyway do they

00:09:19.660 there's certain things like remigration they just won't do won't even consider

00:09:22.620 Beyond that they've got no plan 0.88

00:09:26.800 They don't know what to do

00:09:28.220 And don't care

00:09:28.900 And don't care ultimately

00:09:30.200 Alan Milburn warns that

00:09:32.320 First rung of the career ladder

00:09:35.520 Is now out of reach for many young people

00:09:38.780 Not in employment, education or training

00:09:40.860 You don't say

00:09:41.780 Oh what an incredible observation

00:09:44.440 I mean I remember when I was young

00:09:48.740 Straight out of uni

00:09:49.420 The hardest bit was

00:09:51.440 By far the hardest part

00:09:53.260 Was

00:09:54.260 Starting the thread of a CV

00:09:56.880 A curriculum vitae

00:09:57.980 Starting the thread

00:09:59.400 Getting a first proper job

00:10:01.080 Because then you start the ball rolling

00:10:04.080 You start building a CV

00:10:06.200 If and when you need to apply for other jobs

00:10:08.920 It's not just empty

00:10:10.540 It's like I went to school

00:10:12.180 I did A-levels

00:10:13.120 And then I went to uni

00:10:13.960 And then nothing

00:10:14.640 I had a summer job

00:10:17.460 In a pub

00:10:18.760 The hardest bit is getting that going

00:10:21.420 yeah yeah you need to get a little even back then in like the late 1990s early 2000s it was quite

00:10:28.160 hard it was difficult really quite difficult you have to get a bit lucky isn't more who you know

00:10:34.980 really isn't it unfortunately nepotism makes the world go round you have a need a little bit of

00:10:39.780 nepotism somewhere or get lucky or work really really really hard at it that's one thing i would

00:10:45.280 say to young people struggling to get jobs that i really want a job really badly desperately want

00:10:50.480 need a job failing to get one all I'll say is you've got to work really hard at it they say

00:10:58.820 oh I've applied for dozens and dozens of jobs I've applied for hundreds of jobs well just keep going

00:11:03.180 you've got to keep applying keep going keep going keep going you've got to throw a lot of muck at

00:11:07.560 the wall until a tiny bit of it sticks it's a grind right you can't just get up at midday and

00:11:16.260 apply for two or three jobs in a half-assed manner then say oh i'm trying i'm trying to find a job no

00:11:25.460 make it a full day's work do like eight hours of it a day day after day after day

00:11:29.860 because eventually once you do get that thread once you do finally get a job stay in it for a

00:11:35.380 while don't get fired then you've got the ball rolling and that's the hardest bit that is the

00:11:40.020 the hardest bit i feel sorry for very young people that are struggling with that right

00:11:46.160 if there's loads of people going for the same job and one person's 10 years older than you and got

00:11:51.960 10 years experience they'll get the job and you won't it's tough you'll do some crappy jobs when

00:11:59.020 you're young you think oh you know i'll come out of uni i'm bright i'm clever i've got a good degree

00:12:04.020 even maybe, maybe, oh I'll walk straight into a decent job, probably won't, probably have

00:12:14.220 to do a bit of a crappy job for a few years, all about building that CV, alright the times, 0.97

00:12:21.640 the venerable times, this woman tried the dangerous frog poison detox, don't care, in

00:12:29.640 And this poor mother, 30, is dead, because our society is now low trust high crime and

00:12:40.820 the police don't really do their job properly, allow organised crime to absolutely run rampant

00:12:47.000 and out of control.

00:12:49.240 When they do catch them and put them in prison, they give them very, very light sentences

00:12:53.580 and parole boards just let them out.

00:12:55.880 or not even that, they're just let out

00:12:58.980 isn't it thousands of people just let out of prison

00:13:02.960 hundreds certainly, a year

00:13:06.200 how weird is that

00:13:10.100 just one more victim to throw on the pyre of broken Britain

00:13:15.300 in Bowes Britain I would make the judicial system draconian

00:13:25.880 Draconian 0.96

00:13:31.380 Ministers raise heat on PM over in North Sea

00:13:38.480 They dispute claim that drilling won't cut bills

00:13:42.820 Yeah, Ed Miliband's Red Ed's crazy net zero ideas

00:13:48.980 And that it's just simply wrong and evil

00:13:51.520 And harmful to the planet

00:13:54.180 If we drill in the North Sea

00:13:56.120 Nonsense

00:13:57.580 On every level, nonsense

00:13:59.800 They say, oh, even if we did drill

00:14:02.560 It wouldn't cut

00:14:03.460 Energy bills

00:14:05.680 Well, of course it would

00:14:06.900 Of course, not immediately

00:14:09.200 Not on day one

00:14:10.060 But of course it would

00:14:11.380 But you don't want energy sufficiency

00:14:16.320 Ed Miliband, is that it?

00:14:18.120 You want us to be reliant on other countries for our energy

00:14:22.540 Is that what you want? Seems to be what you want

00:14:24.300 That's the obvious direct consequence of not drilling in the North Sea 1.00

00:14:28.680 Ed Miliband is both an idiot and a scumbag 1.00

00:14:36.820 A traitor and a weirdo, a freak 1.00

00:14:39.640 Over half of NEETs, i.e. young people not in education, employment or training 0.99

00:14:46.720 Have never held a job 0.75

00:14:48.360 Never

00:14:48.980 That's the other thing

00:14:50.280 That's really bad

00:14:51.020 For your CV

00:14:51.560 For your life

00:14:52.240 There's like a massive gap

00:14:54.460 In your CV

00:14:55.060 Now you go to an interview

00:14:57.280 And they're looking at it

00:14:58.260 After school

00:15:00.340 Or A-levels

00:15:01.560 Or uni

00:15:01.920 After that

00:15:02.640 There's nothing here

00:15:04.360 For like two years

00:15:05.320 Three years

00:15:06.040 Four years

00:15:07.360 Like what did you

00:15:10.400 They were just asking

00:15:11.100 What did you do in that time

00:15:12.660 They've got

00:15:13.700 I was looking for jobs

00:15:15.140 But couldn't get one

00:15:15.920 They're like

00:15:16.220 Okay, I've got two dozen other people here that that isn't the case for

00:15:21.280 So, thank you, next

00:15:24.520 It's harsh, isn't it?

00:15:27.000 It's really harsh

00:15:27.860 Try and avoid big gaps on your CV

00:15:31.400 They look terrible

00:15:33.240 You know, employers that don't owe you anything

00:15:36.460 And they're just simply grading you against the other people they've got

00:15:39.320 That's harsh, isn't it?

00:15:42.820 But there you go, that's life

00:15:43.740 That's reality

00:15:44.680 They're grading you, they're judging you

00:15:47.560 On the strength of a one page CV

00:15:49.620 And what you look like and sound like an interview

00:15:51.840 Try not to have any big gaps on it at all

00:15:55.520 Really if you can

00:15:56.360 Alright

00:15:58.960 But half of them have never held a job

00:16:00.880 Thanks Blair, thanks Brown, thanks Cameron

00:16:07.020 Thanks Boris, thanks May, thanks Rishi

00:16:08.780 Thanks Sakir

00:16:09.960 The country and society you have fashioned

00:16:15.460 Is terrible

00:16:17.620 It's broken

00:16:18.920 The metro

00:16:22.440 Ugh

00:16:23.320 Ugh

00:16:25.820 Metro

00:16:29.680 Temperature falls a little bit

00:16:33.280 But costs rise

00:17:16.120 dark lord on that on his dark throne in the land of mordor where shadows lie

00:17:19.360 agree with him on that it's a it is an insane fantasy

00:17:24.660 completely insane the co2 co2 at all let alone man-made co2 drives climate change

00:17:34.260 400 parts per million CO2 in the atmosphere

00:17:38.180 That doesn't drive climate change

00:17:39.560 That's all CO2 as well, not just man-made CO2

00:17:42.580 That drives climate change and therefore

00:17:44.420 We can't or shouldn't burn fossil fuels

00:17:47.920 Nonsense

00:17:49.340 Nonsense

00:17:51.140 There's a show on TV called Line of Duty

00:17:55.160 Which some people like, I've never seen it

00:17:56.680 It looks really lame

00:17:57.860 It's coming back on TV

00:17:59.820 Okay, okay, alright, there you go

00:18:04.260 helena bonham carter is the last of the english fashion eccentrics i've always thought helena

00:18:10.420 bonham carter's like quirky fashion thing was really performative and try hard

00:18:16.820 always thought that really that's your that's your natural style is it you're

00:18:21.140 not just trying really hard to get noticed written about

00:18:27.140 that's it

00:18:27.700 The Daily Telegraph

00:18:32.140 The Daily Toreograph 1.00

00:18:33.460 This black woman here says 0.96

00:18:36.560 I was a Palestine activist

00:18:38.200 Then I went to Israel 0.95

00:18:39.740 Who is she? Nobody

00:18:41.260 Nobody

00:18:43.100 Do we care what this 1.00

00:18:47.020 Absolute nobody, young black woman 1.00

00:18:48.980 Thinks about the Arab-Israeli 1.00

00:18:51.420 Palestinian conflict

00:18:52.860 No

00:18:53.260 I wonder if her analysis goes back

00:18:56.780 To the 7th century

00:18:58.000 I wonder if she's steeped

00:19:00.260 In the history of the ancient world

00:19:02.460 She's going to start her analysis 0.79

00:19:04.620 At Zanacarib is she

00:19:05.940 She's going to go into a deep 0.96

00:19:08.620 Deep dive into the PLO

00:19:10.380 Mandelson told

00:19:16.440 Cabinet how to do their jobs

00:19:18.160 So that's the thing, I think next week they're saying

00:19:20.380 It's going to be the second tranche

00:19:22.040 Of

00:19:23.080 Documents all about

00:19:25.880 how Mandelson was vetted, how Mandelson

00:19:28.640 behaved during his time

00:19:30.580 as ambassador to the US

00:19:31.940 why it's taken him so long

00:19:36.660 to release these documents

00:19:38.560 I don't know, they've certainly had them ready

00:19:40.320 for a while

00:19:41.140 ok

00:19:42.540 it's expected to say that he was

00:19:46.440 some sort of puppet master

00:19:47.720 disgraced Peer's influence over ministers

00:19:50.560 to be exposed in new tranche files

00:19:52.640 and I read this article sort of saying that

00:19:54.700 whilst he was ambassador yes he would just we've already talked about a number of times haven't we

00:19:58.420 how he is a grandee of the party a big beast of the party if you wanted to get on in the labor

00:20:03.260 party you needed the the good wishes of peter mandelson if he wanted to just keep you down

00:20:12.240 end your career just make sure you never got any sort of position or power in the party he could

00:20:18.400 do that and you had to kiss up to him if you wanted to get anywhere so that has always been

00:20:23.900 the case pretty much always been the case he's one of tony blair's henchmen i was gonna say

00:20:30.620 captains but let's say henchmen and even then even just like a couple years ago apparently

00:20:38.520 he's just sending messages to a lot of people of ministers in government and stuff um what to do

00:20:45.160 what to do next what their job should be even as sort of fundamental as that

00:20:49.880 Not just what to do or say next

00:20:53.680 But what your role is

00:20:56.060 In government

00:20:56.800 Right we'll see what all those documents are

00:21:03.080 Next week will probably be

00:21:04.320 At least a few days next week will be Mandy days

00:21:07.200 Oh Mandy

00:21:09.520 The pain is calling

00:21:11.220 Oh Mandy

00:21:12.020 He must be

00:21:13.320 Put in prison for treason

00:21:16.540 Apart from anything else

00:21:17.280 Those data points

00:21:18.420 Where he's sending Epstein

00:21:21.260 Sensitive information

00:21:24.520 Inside government information

00:21:25.900 Some of which was market sensitive

00:21:27.200 Highly sensitive market sensitive information

00:21:30.200 As well as politically sensitive stuff

00:21:34.900 Inside things

00:21:35.840 Hey, Jeff, Jeff

00:21:37.740 Gordon Brown's just about to resign

00:21:39.380 That's treasonous, isn't it? 1.00

00:21:47.220 a foreign agent isn't it

00:21:48.580 you should go to prison 1.00

00:21:52.420 absolutely go to prison

00:21:53.800 HMRC

00:22:32.920 Don't they 0.56

00:22:39.300 Which is extremely rare 1.00

00:22:41.020 Isn't it

00:22:41.600 That is actually extremely rare

00:22:43.960 But you're just a man 1.00

00:22:46.040 Who likes to wear women's clothes

00:23:25.600 Look 0.66

00:23:26.340 If anyone's just listening to this

00:23:27.920 The headline reads

00:23:28.800 Mandelson vetting wound of tyres to key figures

00:23:31.280 In China and Russia

00:23:32.640 End of headline

00:23:33.680 Read the article

00:23:35.760 It says China, Russia and Israel 0.96

00:23:37.300 Yeah 0.96

00:23:43.620 Yeah

00:23:46.020 wasn't epstein embroiled in israeli intelligence services he was

00:23:54.340 he's close friends good friends with ehud barak

00:23:57.620 who was the head of all in israeli intelligence services at one point so there's head of all

00:24:04.980 israeli military which would include military intelligence at one point

00:24:08.620 has been prime minister if you're yeah yeah

00:24:11.180 Yehud Barak went and visited Jeffrey Epstein a whole bunch of times.

00:24:18.960 Jeffrey Epstein went to him and visited a number of times.

00:24:22.720 Yehud Barak went to Epstein's island.

00:24:27.480 Yeah.

00:24:30.760 Mandy was embroiled also with people in China and Russia.

00:24:34.480 To what extent, to what exact extent, we're still yet to find out, aren't we?

00:24:37.600 Mandy, like Epstein, was some sort of nexus

00:24:42.960 Of nefarious goings-on, wasn't he?

00:24:51.740 The Prince of Darkness

00:24:53.220 Tony Blair was the Dark Lord

00:24:57.600 Manson was the Prince of Darkness

00:25:00.060 The other thing is, if anyone who doesn't know 0.99

00:25:04.720 Perhaps he's foreign or quite young

00:25:06.720 It's been said a lot in the last few months 0.96

00:25:09.280 I'll repeat it again

00:25:10.900 Everyone knew right

00:25:12.800 Everyone knew for years and years and years

00:25:15.560 That Mandy was like 1.00

00:25:17.500 A scumbag 1.00

00:25:20.980 A completely amoral 1.00

00:25:23.900 Operator

00:25:25.340 Everyone knew

00:25:27.300 Absolutely everyone knew

00:25:28.800 I mean years

00:25:30.040 Going back to the very early 2000s

00:25:33.320 Very early 2000s

00:25:34.640 Everyone knew

00:25:35.340 I do mean everyone

00:25:37.660 Weird

00:25:39.200 When I first saw Mandy in the Oval Office

00:25:42.220 Standing behind Trump

00:25:43.880 In Trump's most recent administration that is

00:25:47.200 Trump's sitting there in his flanks

00:25:49.460 By all sorts of important people behind him

00:25:52.060 Some of his own secretaries

00:25:53.240 There's a UK ambassador behind him

00:25:55.840 Mandy

00:25:56.160 I'm like

00:25:56.600 Like a lot of people must have been just like

00:26:00.580 Hmm

00:26:01.720 Twice disgraced Mandy 1.00

00:26:05.500 That everyone knows is dodgy 1.00

00:26:07.220 Everyone

00:26:07.820 Should he even be

00:26:11.400 An ambassador of any type

00:26:13.580 Like a full foreign office ambassador

00:26:15.800 Of any stripe

00:26:16.840 That's weird

00:26:19.060 Why would

00:26:20.180 He's an ex-labour minister

00:26:24.040 Dude

00:26:24.740 How is he an ambassador

00:26:26.900 That's not the right sort of

00:26:28.460 Doesn't make sense

00:26:30.360 The US ambassador should be a foreign office official

00:26:35.140 Who's been an ambassador to loads of other countries before

00:26:37.940 That's usually what an ambassador is

00:26:40.600 Mandelson

00:26:42.380 In the Oval Office

00:26:46.160 A lot of people say

00:26:49.640 That's why though isn't it

00:26:51.440 That's why

00:26:52.860 Because he's so compromised

00:26:55.680 That's why

00:27:00.360 UK risks 25% rise in a young job loss 1.00

00:27:07.400 Inside Lebanon 0.97

00:27:09.440 A life of raids and bombings 0.99

00:27:11.500 Israel

00:27:12.820 Stepping up their war against Hezbollah in Lebanon

00:27:15.980 If anything

00:27:16.560 I saw a clip the other day of Netanyahu

00:27:21.780 Saying now is the time

00:27:22.980 I mean literally the other day

00:27:23.940 Like two days ago, maybe Monday

00:27:25.080 Now is the time

00:27:26.540 To

00:27:27.680 Dial everything up

00:27:30.360 Israel issues evacuation order

00:27:35.320 For swathes of southern Lebanon

00:27:37.460 Yeah

00:27:39.620 Letty knows he hasn't got that long left

00:27:43.180 In office, perhaps on this earth

00:27:44.840 He's no spring chicken

00:27:45.620 So he's got to do

00:27:51.000 Everything he wants to do

00:27:53.220 Like now

00:27:53.800 All his dreams

00:27:55.580 Of sort of the project of a greater Israel

00:27:59.200 Or whatever

00:27:59.720 It's now or never for him 1.00

00:28:01.680 Not that Hezbollah 1.00

00:28:08.460 Not that I want to play defence of Hezbollah 1.00

00:28:09.780 Hezbollah are 1.00

00:28:10.640 Murderous Islamist scumbags 1.00

00:28:14.600 It's a horrible thing, isn't it? 1.00

00:28:15.720 That's why I'm one of those people

00:28:17.340 Who don't want anything to do with any of it

00:28:20.740 Quite often people will try and make you pick a side

00:28:25.000 The Douglas Murrays of this world 1.00

00:28:26.880 You must be on Israel's side 1.00

00:28:28.760 No 1.00

00:28:30.360 No

00:28:32.140 There's the other side aren't there

00:28:35.320 Various other people

00:28:36.180 All sorts of other people

00:28:38.160 If you're not at least de facto by default

00:28:41.640 100% against Israel 0.90

00:28:44.560 So effectively on the side of the Islamists 0.78

00:28:46.920 One way or another 0.90

00:28:47.580 Even looks like we're in a de facto sense

00:28:49.500 No I reject that as well

00:28:51.820 No

00:28:52.020 I reject both of those

00:28:54.100 I'll put my country and my people first

00:28:56.680 In my own land

00:28:57.660 And their disgusting blood feud 0.77

00:29:01.500 Can be played out there 0.98

00:29:03.000 And when it spills over here

00:29:06.140 We'll get rid of them

00:29:07.500 We'll clear them out

00:29:09.000 Someone in the chat says

00:29:19.120 Seriously, move on

00:29:20.020 I'll talk about what I want to talk about

00:29:21.440 For as long as I want to talk about

00:29:22.620 Alright

00:29:22.840 I will move on now though

00:29:27.660 Trump's war

00:29:30.120 The rising cost to you

00:29:31.400 Three months into the military campaign

00:29:34.180 Against Iran 0.63

00:29:34.800 Households pay the price 1.00

00:29:36.680 And worse is to come

00:29:38.020 Some of these figures

00:29:39.500 I feel like

00:29:40.400 When I looked at this this morning

00:29:41.700 Like

00:29:43.240 Don't seem right

00:29:45.540 For example it says

00:29:46.400 Meals

00:29:47.260 The average meal

00:29:48.100 Is up 89p

00:29:49.920 Feels like it's more than that

00:29:51.320 Daily shopping is up 7 pounds

00:29:54.020 Seems like it's way more than that

00:29:55.380 the average mortgage on a mortgage about 140 grand is up 821 pounds mine isn't nowhere near that

00:30:03.280 yes it depends what rate you're on and stuff doesn't it petrol up 14 pound 63 maybe that

00:30:10.460 sounds about right i suppose energy 221 pounds yeah probably about right fuel which they're

00:30:16.800 talking about oil heating oil up 50 i've got no idea about that i'm afraid i don't i've never ever

00:30:23.100 bought heating oil in my life so i don't know about that but there you go meanwhile asterisk

00:30:29.680 meanwhile america's bill for waging war is 29 billion dollars and counting

00:30:34.240 the scheme of things doesn't seem that much i mean it's a gigantic number of course

00:30:41.120 gigantic number but it's more than 1.5 times what britain spends on foreign aid spent on

00:30:47.540 foreign aid in 2025 that simply just makes me think we're spending way too much on foreign aid

00:30:55.520 way too much why are we spending tens of billions a year on foreign aid it's mad isn't it that's

00:31:02.560 one of the things I would stop very very quickly very very quickly as soon as possible if I was

00:31:08.400 in power standing on the steps of number 10 with my missus and I walk inside all the number 10

00:31:16.440 civil servants clap you in sit down at the desk bring me what i need to do my permanent secretary

00:31:22.960 bring me what i need to do to end nearly all foreign aid practically all foreign aid as soon

00:31:28.180 as humanly possible we haven't got the money but we're borrowing money that we can't afford to

00:31:33.800 repay really barely afford to repay the interest payments on that borrowing to give away as foreign

00:31:38.300 aid that's mad that's mad we're stopping that we're going to stop we can cut that off that's 1.00

00:31:42.420 that's stupid obviously that's stupid all right the mirror some of the worst slop you'll get on 1.00

00:31:50.480 fleet street all right something about kate moss again do not care backlash for blair so 1.00

00:31:58.800 where blair came out remember was it monday or yesterday with his 5 000 word essay on everything

00:32:06.300 That's going wrong with the Labour Party

00:32:07.680 In criticising

00:32:09.860 Streeting

00:32:12.120 And

00:32:12.660 Bumham

00:32:14.860 King Andy Bumham the first of his name

00:32:18.060 As well as Keir

00:32:19.540 Just criticising all of them

00:32:20.780 You're not doing government right

00:32:22.440 There's been a fair bit of backlash on that

00:32:24.440 In fact

00:32:24.780 Quick head over to the

00:32:27.240 Websites

00:32:28.680 Where was it

00:32:32.220 Bear with me

00:32:32.940 Oh here we go

00:32:34.360 On ITV News

00:32:36.300 Andy Bumham and his eyeliner

00:32:40.020 And wedge-streeting

00:32:41.340 Hit back Tony Blair's criticism of Labour

00:32:44.320 They basically both said

00:32:47.180 To paraphrase slightly

00:32:48.220 You're out of touch old man

00:32:50.860 You aren't and never have been left wing enough

00:32:54.900 That's your problem

00:32:55.540 You don't understand

00:32:56.560 Because you're not left wing enough

00:32:57.740 Basically

00:32:58.140 Burnham who's currently campaigning

00:33:00.840 Ahead of the Makefield by-election

00:33:01.940 On June 19th said

00:33:02.880 Blair had misunderstood

00:33:04.040 The economic causes of populism

00:33:06.240 In his essay

00:33:08.680 I think Tony Blair has got a better grasp

00:33:11.220 Of economics than Andy Burnham

00:33:12.740 As poor as it is

00:33:15.840 It's better than his 0.86

00:33:16.560 Bumham said

00:33:17.860 He, Tony Blair

00:33:19.080 Doesn't mention inequality once

00:33:20.900 Oh it's about inequality is it

00:33:23.500 It's about inequality

00:33:24.700 If you don't get how that's driving politics now

00:33:27.680 If you're not rooting your analysis

00:33:30.120 Oh Andy Burnham is going to tell us about

00:33:32.000 Economic analysis

00:33:33.820 You see

00:33:36.940 If you do not root your analysis in the fact that people are unable to live

00:33:41.240 and that things that were taken for granted are no longer affordable,

00:33:45.460 then you are not understanding what's going on.

00:33:48.000 I think Tony Blair understands what's going on, as mad as it is,

00:33:51.620 far better than Andy Burnham.

00:33:54.040 I don't think Andy Burnham really understands anything. 0.98

00:33:57.460 He's still living in that paradigm of where cross-dressing men 1.00

00:34:00.700 should be allowed into women's changing rooms and toilets. 1.00

00:34:03.380 Oh but Andy Burnham understands perfectly 0.52

00:34:06.260 Everything that's going on does he

00:34:07.440 Andy Burnham does but Blair doesn't

00:34:09.980 You're right

00:34:10.460 You're right

00:34:11.640 Okay

00:34:12.760 He said

00:34:17.220 People don't think the centre has delivered for them

00:34:19.860 In terms of their lives

00:34:21.040 Therefore they've gone further to the extremes

00:34:23.340 Yeah

00:34:24.600 I mean that's true

00:34:25.740 Streeting chimed in

00:34:29.420 What did Streeting say

00:34:33.380 Yeah, Streeting said, the former PM, that the answer to global disruption, quote,

00:34:40.460 cannot be longing for the Britain of the 1970s, not even the Britain of the 1990s.

00:34:45.540 There's nothing wrong with the 1990s.

00:34:47.880 It was a much better country, much better.

00:34:56.320 I mean, how old is Streeting? Does he even remember the 90s particularly?

00:34:59.340 He must have been a little kid

00:35:00.420 He must have been a small child in the 1990s

00:35:03.640 What does he know, really?

00:35:08.860 West Street team

00:35:09.740 This boy, LARPing

00:35:12.820 As a statesman

00:35:14.280 Don't buy it

00:35:16.800 Just don't buy it

00:35:18.440 When people believe the rules

00:35:21.340 No longer reward effort fairly

00:35:23.320 Resentment grows

00:35:24.320 Oh yeah, you fostered a whole bunch of resentment

00:35:26.460 The Labour Party from 1997 onwards

00:35:29.960 You fostered a lot of resentment, yeah

00:35:31.560 And resentment never remains politically homeless for long

00:35:34.980 No point, I suppose

00:35:37.440 You're going to fix it, are you?

00:35:40.700 Wesley Streeting

00:35:41.740 And or Andy Burnham

00:35:45.080 Yeah, right

00:35:45.860 This is a story that's all over the news the last few days

00:35:52.520 A fair few people, kids, have drowned

00:35:55.420 look heatwave horror be safe in water or more will die warnings are seven children and two

00:36:02.720 adults die swimming over four days grieving dad uh grieving dad urges kids to be aware of dangers

00:36:09.180 after losing son so yeah a number of people well nine people in total seven of which children

00:36:14.280 swimming in lakes rivers and reservoirs have died now i haven't done a deep dive into it but i've

00:36:23.760 been reading the headlines and reading articles and it will always say they got into difficulties

00:36:30.160 and drown it doesn't tell you exactly what happened really now a river is something different right

00:36:34.480 the river a river certain rivers are like the sea in the sense that that can be really dangerous

00:36:40.880 doesn't look dangerous but actually currents sweep your way or there's an undertow in the sea

00:36:46.480 or a number of things where okay even if you're a strong swimmer and your only error was to sort of

00:36:53.360 not know that stretch of water or coastline well enough and you drown okay fine in a lake or a

00:36:58.960 reservoir if you don't like if it's so cold that you like get shocked and going to shock

00:37:07.200 you drown or you swim right out into the middle and then get cramped and drown because there's

00:37:13.760 no like giant creatures that will take you down no alligators or anything

00:37:18.080 so why would you why would you drown in a reservoir or a lake assuming you can swim

00:37:23.360 Why so, I don't get it why so many people, so many young people are getting into difficulties and drowning to death

00:37:33.360 We've had loads of hot days over all sorts of summers before and something like this would be once in a blue moon you get one or two

00:37:38.360 Not nine, including adults

00:37:42.360 Doesn't really tell you, of course it's terrible isn't it but

00:37:46.360 I don't know what to say

00:37:52.720 I mean just

00:37:53.380 I suppose be careful

00:37:55.960 If you can swim

00:37:57.720 You should be alright in a lake or a reservoir

00:38:00.840 There's no real reason why you should drown

00:38:03.560 Is there?

00:38:05.920 Am I missing something

00:38:07.140 Profoundly missing something really obvious

00:38:09.140 I don't know

00:38:09.600 You know unless you're unlucky

00:38:12.780 As I say you get cramp or something like that 0.95

00:38:16.360 all right the sun that may a woman they're obsessed with for some reason 0.99

00:38:21.980 katie price okay slop of course it's a slob it's the sun katie price jordan this freak 0.72

00:39:21.000 as the authorities in dubai think he was a spy on some level

00:39:29.060 doesn't really add up and i don't care let's move on the star pure slop pure slop again that show

00:39:37.720 in line of duty there's going to be another season of it okay look at that look am i going to watch

00:39:44.740 a show where it's this no no thanks pass okay the complete insane slop on the daily star

00:39:54.840 three lions in spygate shock game of drones all it is is where there's the world cup this summer

00:40:01.680 isn't there the soccer world cup and the england team they put them up in a hotel somewhere where

00:40:07.260 they train for a few weeks before the tournament starts and to stop other teams spying on them

00:40:14.000 they're going to put up like drones that's it that's it all right they're the front pages there

00:40:20.520 you go we did a poll this is the point in the show we often do look at our poll don't we

00:40:27.300 now if you bring that up for me i don't know what we asked i always nearly always forget what we

00:40:31.040 actually asked oh okay because the world cup's coming up and it will be on the front pages

00:40:36.780 Particularly of the more sloppy tabloids

00:40:38.480 It'll be on the front pages all the time

00:40:40.060 And I know that I've asked in the poll before

00:40:43.380 Do you care about football or sports ball

00:40:45.440 Or even F1

00:40:47.000 And you always come back with a resounding no

00:40:49.120 I want to try and get out ahead of this

00:40:51.620 Try and deal with it

00:40:52.400 Because it's going to be in the news

00:40:53.920 Loads

00:40:54.780 Okay

00:40:56.080 In fact someone on a tweet

00:40:59.080 Just yesterday or the day before

00:41:00.980 Just added me on Twitter and said

00:41:03.540 Like they were kind, they were nice

00:41:06.400 they were just saying that i know you sort of like football a bit um and stuff but i think they said

00:41:12.260 something like uh when the world cup's on i i understand that you can mention it in passing

00:41:18.760 particularly like an england result but beyond that just keep it to a minimum bro and i was like

00:41:24.440 i read you loud and clear okay but so this morning on the poll i wanted to try and gauge that again

00:41:29.520 to see whether you guys are like almost entirely unanimous despise it really hate it or whether

00:41:34.440 a bit indifferent or if you've got any fans at all just trying to gauge it so for okay when the

00:41:39.640 world cup's on get ready for it all right so in this poll we said do you care about the world cup

00:41:45.300 and then gave you four different grades of how much you care about the world cup or not as the

00:41:49.340 case may be let's have a look at the results all right okay so 48 winning it with 48 is the least

00:41:57.020 favorable option i'm not a fan of it a cool 48 of you say basically say you just could not care less

00:42:06.140 okay and then the next one up it's all right that's 34 so that's nearly everyone isn't it

00:42:14.700 and then nine percent of you say i like it and nine percent of you say i love it so less than 20

00:42:21.260 percent of you care about football basically over 80 percent could not give a monkeys

00:42:32.700 okay all right it's good to know genuinely good for me to know that so just to let you know when

00:42:37.980 the world cup is on and it's on the front page and stuff i will talk about it but i'll keep it

00:42:42.220 it really minimal for the 18% of you that said you like it and or love it I've got I've got to

00:42:52.000 appeal to the masses I don't have to do I but if England do well if they get to like the final or

00:42:59.340 win it they won't probably won't then I'll talk about that in some detail that's almost certainly

00:43:05.880 won't happen all right let's just move on from this even even this I imagine the people that

00:43:10.000 the 80 of you are like move on move on all right should we have a look at a bit of the uh

00:43:16.880 we'll have a look at the price of oil we do that sometimes maybe just after the poll quite often do

00:43:20.680 that what's the price of oil today on the open market west texas 91 a barrel brent crude 97

00:43:28.440 a barrel so so for this whole war it's never gone sky high has it it's never rocketed to insane levels

00:43:36.660 it's not that much higher than when the war started is it and if you remember it was about

00:43:44.160 78 dollars a barrel there's no one price is there but it's about 78 dollars a barrel

00:43:49.100 and now it's about some sort of mean average is what i don't know 95 94 95

00:43:54.820 doesn't reflect how much you have to pay at the pump does it it's not fair is it

00:44:02.460 all right let's have a look at the websites i was already called to two there's one article

00:44:09.020 i wanted to read here oh a quick one super quick one i just saw this there's not much detail to it

00:44:15.880 the whole article is only a few words i just thought it was interesting sort of thing i like

00:44:19.300 piques my interest says from sky news ex-cIA officer accused of stealing 300 gold bars worth

00:44:26.900 40 million dollars

00:44:28.180 How is that not at least mildly interesting

00:44:33.380 Officials also seized

00:44:35.600 Around 2 million dollars in cash

00:44:37.400 As well as dozens of luxury watches

00:44:39.280 Earlier this month according to the FBI

00:44:40.880 Yeah and the story, there isn't that much to it

00:44:42.840 Sort of a breaking story

00:44:44.500 Just this one guy, a guy called David Rush

00:44:47.180 Who worked for a senior CIA official

00:44:49.580 Although it doesn't say exactly what his job was

00:44:51.320 At the CIA

00:44:51.780 Yeah there was just suspicions about him

00:44:54.540 The FBI raided

00:44:55.620 A lock-up he had

00:44:57.460 And his home

00:44:58.080 Found

00:44:59.640 40 million dollars

00:45:02.000 Worth of bullion

00:45:02.840 There you go

00:45:07.220 That's it

00:45:07.500 That's it

00:45:07.740 I just thought

00:45:08.060 That was interesting

00:45:09.080 Who knows if we'll have

00:45:10.440 Those sorts of stories

00:45:11.220 Often they get memory hold

00:45:12.640 And you never hear

00:45:13.240 Anything about again

00:45:13.900 That sort of story

00:45:15.880 Don't be surprised

00:45:17.680 If that's the case

00:45:18.300 Oh here we go

00:45:19.680 Here we go

00:45:21.080 The Daily Mail 0.84

00:45:22.000 Old Christian Calgi

00:45:23.920 at it again he's got the memory christian's got the memo try and attack restore from any possible

00:45:29.760 angle use anti-semitism racism islamophobia misogyny anything you can there's one person

00:45:37.760 who's a member who did a nazi salute 10 years ago anything you can get christian 0.96

00:45:42.080 just do hit piece after hit piece yeah good good boy

00:45:45.980 restore britain reinstate sacked member who who posed uh doing nazi salute after furious backlash

00:45:54.880 from hard right supporters that's a mischaracterization from the very beginning

00:45:58.880 uh okay

00:46:00.620 that they they do uh they do old lewis look lewis brackpool they're having a pop at lewis

00:46:07.520 brackpool they're having a pop uh harrison pitt anything look lewis brackpool sat down and had

00:46:14.820 A conversation

00:46:15.420 More than one conversation

00:46:16.480 With David Curtin

00:46:18.280 What are you talking about Christian?

00:46:24.440 So basically in a nutshell

00:46:25.480 There's some guy

00:46:26.680 I'd never heard of until the other day

00:46:28.020 Called James Monroe

00:46:29.320 I'd never heard of him

00:46:30.360 Ten years ago he did that

00:46:33.040 Now he's a member

00:46:35.420 Just a member

00:46:36.080 Of Restore

00:46:36.980 I want to try and smear the whole thing

00:46:39.720 Smear all of it

00:46:41.500 And everyone connects you to Restore

00:46:42.920 Because of that

00:46:44.820 i believe some of the details are apologies if i get any of the details slightly wrong

00:46:48.980 um that this james monroe chap wanted to be something a bit more in the party the party

00:46:56.560 said no you can't sorry you're not a right fit for us we had a quick look at your social media and

00:47:00.360 uh probably not uh and and then the party said oh actually the person that said uh probably not

00:47:08.280 hasn't got the power to do that so you can still be a member like we're not gonna we're not gonna

00:47:13.480 police our membership like what you did in your past is up to you you know we might not

00:47:20.220 let you run as a candidate or something but you can be a member like it it's it's a nothing burger

00:47:26.860 basically is what it is the fact that restore like any organization of any size will have some people

00:47:34.320 in it which the legacy corporate mainstream media will find distasteful yeah yeah well done

00:47:41.100 Christian. Brilliant investigative journalism there. Amazing. You went on Twitter. Wow.

00:47:49.580 Scoop. Scoop of the century. It's a nothing burger. It's a completely nothing burger.

00:47:55.640 What else have we got? What else can we get? What other dirt can we get? Yeah, Louis Brackball

00:48:01.200 sat down with David Curtin. David Curtin, a completely legitimate politician. He's the

00:48:05.060 head of the heritage party absolutely legitimate individual david curtain but he's on the right

00:48:12.660 yeah lewis had a conversation with him oh oh no harrison pitt again had conversations with

00:48:23.640 illegitimate people who are of the right what is it uh reno camu and martin selner yeah they're

00:48:32.920 right-leaning people, yeah, they're based

00:48:34.480 right-leaning nationalist types.

00:48:38.740 And Harrison dared to sit down

00:48:40.860 and have a reasonable, actually quite high-brow

00:48:43.280 conversation with them.

00:48:45.760 That's too much for the male 0.84

00:48:47.180 and Christian Calgi. 1.00

00:48:53.600 It's pathetic, isn't it? 1.00

00:48:54.860 It's pathetic. 1.00

00:48:58.460 There you go. That's it. 1.00

00:49:00.360 It's really, really lame.

00:49:02.920 Alright, shall we have a look at, oh one last thing in the sun, I thought it was interesting, Trump's triumph, Trump's triumph, inside Trump's war on illegal migration that has cut crossings on the southern Mexican border by 99%, so what can UK learn from tactics, Trump's triumph, basically, in a nutshell, it's build a massive wall, walls don't work, walls don't ever work, walls really work, walls nearly always work brilliantly.

00:49:32.920 Look at the Theodosian Walls at Constantinople

00:49:36.420 Look at the Berlin Wall

00:49:38.800 Look at the various walls built in Northern Ireland

00:49:44.360 To keep Protestant and Catholic communities apart 1.00

00:49:46.660 Look at this wall, walls work 1.00

00:49:48.560 There's a combination of a wall

00:49:50.620 And the fact that Trump has made sure that the US authorities

00:49:55.140 Properly punish people that get caught illegally crossing the border

00:49:59.480 Properly punish them

00:50:01.280 Like nearly 100% conviction rate and stuff

00:50:03.880 And an actual deterrent

00:50:07.320 That's what we could learn, isn't it?

00:50:13.580 Instead of giving these people free stuff

00:50:15.580 And ultimately get to stay here forever 1.00

00:50:18.120 And then if not bring their families over in chain migration 1.00

00:50:21.840 Instead of giving them free accommodation 0.98

00:50:24.340 And mobile phones and on and on and on

00:50:26.500 No, you just criminalise them

00:50:29.220 And deport them

00:50:31.280 yeah crazy right who could have who would have thunk it all right should have a look at on this

00:50:38.280 day in history i like doing that bit you like being that bit on this day down through the

00:50:41.600 centuries what happened over now may the 28th on this day in the year 585 bc there was a solar

00:50:47.600 eclipse as predicted by greek philosopher thales me and stelios did uh some various bits of long

00:50:54.740 thought form content about the the pre-socratic ancient greek philosophers

00:51:01.940 uh it's really good content if you're interested in that sort of thing if that's your bag

00:51:05.620 very very good bit of content because of course stelios is a phd in philosophy and an athenian

00:51:10.100 himself a literal real life athenian philosopher stelios so he sat down with him made more than

00:51:19.620 than one bit of long-form content about the pre-Socratics. Thales is one of those. So

00:51:24.880 that's there, I think, behind the paywall on losages.com. You can send a sign up for

00:51:29.140 this £5-month quantity of membership. Thales predicted the solar eclipse in 585 BC, which

00:51:37.440 occurs while the Lydians are at war with the Medes and leads to a truce. It is one of the

00:51:42.200 cardinal dates from which other dates are calculated. Yep. Okay, on this day in 1431,

00:51:49.620 Joan d'Arc, Joan of Arc, the Maid of Orléans, is accused of lapsing into heresy, again, by donning male clothing, providing justification for her execution

00:52:01.280 Harry, Harry, yep

00:52:05.400 Beaudades, Epochs, my history theme show, behind the paywall on literacy.com

00:52:15.060 do you think i'll talk about the maid of orleans on there for a few hours oh yeah more than once

00:52:19.700 actually a really early epochs i decided just to talk about Joan of Arc then later like four years

00:52:28.660 later i do a really long form bit of content all about Henry V and what happened to the English

00:52:37.140 after the age of Henry V i'll talk about it again basically so you can find quite a few hours of me

00:52:43.940 Talking in quite a lot of detail

00:52:45.120 About Joan of Arc

00:52:47.660 A remarkable

00:52:50.940 A truly truly remarkable woman

00:52:52.940 Girl 1.00

00:52:53.580 Unbelievable 1.00

00:52:55.360 It's almost unbelievable

00:52:56.700 She would lead men into battle 1.00

00:52:59.100 A 17 year old illiterate French girl 1.00

00:53:02.520 Leading 1.00

00:53:03.740 A demoralised French

00:53:06.640 Army

00:53:07.660 Into battle

00:53:08.860 Literally as well

00:53:11.060 Storming English 0.98

00:53:13.860 Redoubts 1.00

00:53:14.780 Mad 1.00

00:53:17.020 In the end we captured her

00:53:18.300 Told her to recant her heresy

00:53:21.980 And her evil

00:53:23.100 She said she heard voices

00:53:24.280 She heard the voices of angels

00:53:26.240 Or even demons I think

00:53:28.480 And 1.00

00:53:30.880 We were just going to put her in a nunnery forever 1.00

00:53:33.400 Just to make sure she never gets out

00:53:34.960 And then she sort of recanted

00:53:37.660 On her recantation

00:53:39.520 If you know what I mean

00:53:39.980 As far as we were concerned

00:53:41.860 She lapsed back into heresy 1.00

00:53:43.640 So we burnt her alive 0.93

00:53:44.520 Okay, on this day in 1588

00:53:49.280 King Philip II of Spain

00:53:51.260 Dispatches the Spanish Armada

00:53:52.840 Under the Duke of Medina Sedona

00:53:54.360 From Lisbon, Portugal

00:53:55.660 To invade England 0.87

00:53:56.840 On my channel

00:53:59.220 On History Bro

00:54:03.820 I've got a really long form series

00:54:05.800 About Drake

00:54:07.040 Sir Francis Drake

00:54:08.260 History Bro

00:54:12.700 On YouTube for free

00:54:14.800 There's no paywall there

00:54:15.520 Everything there is free

00:54:16.380 Obviously in that

00:54:18.580 Talk all about the Spanish Armada

00:54:20.140 In quite a lot of detail

00:54:20.920 And when I get up to

00:54:22.800 The Elizabethan age

00:54:23.640 On epochs

00:54:24.280 I should do it again

00:54:25.040 There you go

00:54:27.160 Right the Trail of Tears

00:54:28.480 On this day in 1830

00:54:29.880 US President Andrew Jackson

00:54:31.380 Signs the Indian Removal Act

00:54:33.800 A key law 1.00

00:54:34.500 Leading to the false removal 1.00

00:54:35.820 Of the Cherokee

00:54:36.620 Chickasaw 0.93

00:54:37.380 Choctaw

00:54:38.340 Creek

00:54:39.600 And Seminole tribes 0.65

00:54:41.120 Out of Georgia 0.94

00:54:42.120 And surrounding states 0.99

00:54:43.200 Setting the stage for the Cherokee Trail of Tears 0.76

00:54:46.560 There's certain things

00:54:52.340 There's certain things in history

00:54:53.980 Though I'm like, you know, a partisan of the West

00:54:56.840 And play defense on behalf of the British Empire and stuff

00:55:02.740 There's certain things

00:55:04.380 There's certain things you can't

00:55:05.400 It's difficult to defend

00:55:06.840 There's certain things where the anti-Western narrative 0.85

00:55:11.840 Just isn't wrong 0.99

00:55:12.840 When I think that's the case

00:55:15.760 I will say so

00:55:16.480 For example, I think yesterday wasn't it

00:55:19.620 I mentioned the UK-Soviet invasion of Iran

00:55:22.740 In 1943 or during World War II

00:55:24.840 Very, very difficult to justify that really

00:55:27.480 This is one of those ones

00:55:31.040 A lot of woke people

00:55:37.620 And Native American people

00:55:38.740 Despise Andrew Jackson

00:55:40.040 Despise him

00:55:41.840 Because the Trail of Tears, I mean, he had legitimate reasons in his mind in the 19th

00:55:48.720 century paradigm for doing what he did, okay.

00:55:51.520 But the Trail of Tears was basically a death march.

00:55:56.720 Just keep marching until a lot of you die of exhaustion and exposure.

00:56:04.200 Can't justify it.

00:56:05.380 Anyway, all right.

00:56:06.560 On this day in 1936

00:56:08.260 Alan Turing submits

00:56:10.120 Uncomputable Numbers

00:56:11.920 For publication

00:56:12.840 In which he set out

00:56:14.320 The theoretical basis

00:56:15.220 For modern computers

00:56:16.100 Very interesting

00:56:16.900 Alan Turing

00:56:17.320 A very interesting person

00:56:18.180 Very very

00:56:18.720 A true genius type person

00:56:19.900 He worked on the

00:56:21.160 He worked on the

00:56:24.220 Bletchley Park stuff

00:56:26.440 Didn't he

00:56:26.800 And the breaking of the Enigma

00:56:28.080 And all sorts of stuff

00:56:28.680 As well as

00:56:29.060 He was just

00:56:29.620 A true mathematical genius

00:56:31.360 Wasn't he

00:56:31.620 They made a film about him

00:56:33.460 Didn't they

00:56:33.920 With

00:56:34.420 Was it Cumberbatch 0.94

00:56:36.020 He was also homosexual 0.97

00:56:40.560 And back in those days 0.70

00:56:42.000 It was illegal to be homosexual

00:56:44.880 And he was sort of caught 0.76

00:56:47.420 Put on trial for the crime of being homosexual 0.98

00:56:49.720 And chemically castrated 1.00

00:56:53.300 And make you take drugs

00:56:56.120 So that nothing works down there anymore

00:56:58.140 That was in the 1940s I think that was

00:57:01.640 Not that long ago

00:57:03.160 And that sent into a spiral of depression

00:57:06.160 And he killed himself

00:57:07.160 A bit bad, isn't it?

00:57:14.280 Alright, on this day, 1972

00:57:15.520 White House plumbers

00:57:17.140 First break-in at the Democratic National Headquarters

00:57:21.260 And is still listening devices

00:57:22.480 At Watergate Complex in Washington, D.C.

00:57:25.140 Again, on

00:57:25.740 Harry

00:57:26.660 Harry

00:57:28.700 Again

00:57:29.660 on history bro i've got quite an early again long series all about watergate it's really all about

00:57:38.260 nixon in general really but nominally focusing on all the details of the watergate like the

00:57:45.240 original break-in and the all the cover-up and the downfall of richard nixon in loads of detail

00:57:50.420 hours hours worth of detail so i won't go into here but i'm fascinated by that

00:57:55.580 Read a number of books about it

00:57:57.900 John Dean's

00:57:59.800 What the President Knew and When

00:58:01.300 Very, very, very good

00:58:03.300 Very, very good

00:58:04.040 Got loads of transcripts of the Nixon tapes in there

00:58:07.380 And

00:58:09.080 For some reason it's just one of those things

00:58:11.520 Nixon, the career of Richard Nixon

00:58:13.520 Life and career of Richard Nixon

00:58:14.740 That I've been fascinated with for years and years

00:58:17.900 Okay, today

00:58:19.460 Is the anniversary

00:58:20.800 Of the original break-in

00:58:22.840 It's actually the second break-in

00:58:26.540 they broke in one time before and just completely got away with it but the bugs weren't placed just

00:58:30.540 right so they broke in again to sort of fix them and take pictures of more documents and stuff

00:58:37.580 all right i could keep going on about it but i won't it's not a history show let's have a look

00:58:40.540 at our rumble rants and super chats shall we okay let me do this with the boom so i can see

00:58:47.900 the left hand side of my screen rumble rents first we always do remember it's first

00:58:50.860 what have we got here oh global church history has been pipped been pipped to the post you can't

00:58:56.060 win them all bro okay first in this morning was tf2 is better and they've said if the lotus

00:59:03.480 eaters did a royal rumble who would win people have asked that before if everyone had a fight

00:59:08.500 who's like who's the hardest person in lotus eaters people have said this before i thought

00:59:14.700 we've talked about before i think on a lads hour it's either going to be big harry or rory i would

00:59:20.660 say i mean me carl and dan we're a bit old luca love the dude in the most platonic way possible

00:59:30.740 love him he's not a brawler he's not a brawler is he it's got to be stelios although stelios

00:59:40.100 was in the army do you know that stelios was in the greek army i think he's got a black belt as

00:59:44.980 As well, Stelios

00:59:45.780 But he's not big

00:59:46.600 Harry is big

00:59:48.280 And he's a gym bro as well

00:59:49.760 Big Harry

00:59:50.540 He's a gym bro now

00:59:51.720 Oh yeah, yeah

00:59:54.340 He's big and tall and heavy

00:59:56.380 And hench

00:59:58.100 So probably him

00:59:59.940 But

01:00:00.580 And I mean this in the nicest possible way

01:00:04.020 I don't think he's particularly got a killer instinct

01:00:06.860 He's like actually a nice guy

01:00:08.440 Whereas Rory, who's not little

01:00:10.360 He's not as big as Harry

01:00:11.160 But he's over six foot

01:00:12.120 He plays rugby

01:00:13.160 So

01:00:15.980 I've got that gear to go into

01:00:18.900 Where

01:00:19.280 I can hurt you

01:00:22.000 And I quite enjoy it, sort of a gear

01:00:24.280 It'll be out of Big Harry and Rory

01:00:26.500 If Big Harry and Rory had a one on one

01:00:28.680 Who knows

01:00:30.360 Might be close

01:00:31.160 I'll probably put my money on Harry

01:00:32.760 Because he's just bigger and stronger

01:00:34.660 Longer reach

01:00:35.460 He's just a physically bigger man

01:00:37.740 So probably that

01:00:39.140 Speed and aggression counts a lot though, doesn't it?

01:00:43.160 It's almost everything, actually, isn't it?

01:00:44.700 Speed and aggression

01:00:45.300 How often, like, in Japan or something

01:00:47.300 They'll do some weird freak match

01:00:48.760 With some giant dude

01:00:50.180 Versus a little guy

01:00:51.580 But the little guy is, like

01:00:53.420 One of the best fighters in the world

01:00:54.900 Often the little guy will win

01:00:56.480 Not rare

01:00:58.660 Okay, I'll move on from that

01:01:01.200 Spent a bit too much time on that

01:01:02.100 Right, Global Church History Today says

01:01:03.780 On this day in 1258

01:01:07.300 The Treaty of Paris

01:01:08.920 Which ceded the Channel Islands to England

01:01:11.360 Was signed

01:01:12.220 Was signed, later ratified in December 1259

01:01:15.400 Yeah that'll be, what'll that be?

01:01:17.680 That'll be the reign of, must be Henry III

01:01:22.100 What's the reckoning, I've got long form content

01:01:29.200 All about the reign of Henry III

01:01:32.060 It's all there, it's all there

01:01:35.800 That was the one where John, the king before

01:01:38.240 Henry III was the son of King John

01:01:40.840 John had lost loads and loads

01:01:43.380 Or a few battles

01:01:44.340 And loads and loads of land in France

01:01:47.020 Because before that

01:01:48.420 His father Henry II

01:01:50.040 It was the Angevin Empire

01:01:51.620 Where the King of England

01:01:53.520 Controlled all the way from like Scotland

01:01:56.100 To the Pyrenees

01:01:57.100 But by the age of Henry III

01:02:01.500 It was forced to sign a treaty

01:02:05.960 Where the English gave up

01:02:08.040 Well like we had to give up Normandy

01:02:10.420 Poitou, Anjou, Maine

01:02:13.180 Loads of things

01:02:14.880 It was allowed to keep Gascony

01:02:17.980 And the Channel Islands

01:02:19.620 There was a low ebb

01:02:22.020 Went from the Angevin Empire

01:02:24.020 All time higher

01:02:25.160 Really low ebb during Henry III

01:02:27.600 And then the Hundred Years War 0.70

01:02:29.140 Where we start winning again

01:02:31.480 Battle of Tours, Crecy, Agincourt

01:02:34.600 And then we lose it all again

01:02:35.640 In the age of Henry VI

01:02:36.660 Swings and roundabouts

01:02:40.400 swing some roundabouts okay it's all that anyway so there want me talking about that for hours on

01:02:46.460 end five pound a month good deal all right the other fact that you give us this morning is in

01:02:54.320 on this day in 1871 the Paris Commune was defeated with communards executed en masse yeah we talked

01:03:00.440 about that the other day didn't we it was on the website it was like the big depends what day you

01:03:06.920 you want to say was the beginning or the end of these things often isn't it um yeah we talked

01:03:12.880 about all that before didn't we how the germans had beaten the french at sedan much straight to

01:03:19.060 paris actually much round paris didn't actually enter it made the french sign like humiliating

01:03:24.580 treaty at versailles shades of the hall of mirrors in 1919 um but the french government collapsed

01:03:31.860 loads of commies took over paris for a while chas style in the end the french army had to go in

01:03:41.000 there and arrest loads of them and execute loads of them yeah and commies to this day think it was 0.86

01:03:46.440 brilliant not that they got defeated but the commune itself was brilliant it wasn't it was 0.99

01:03:52.340 a complete nightmare like like chas like that chop of course it is communism always fails badly 0.99

01:03:58.240 ends in misery and suffering every time every single time tomrat247 says abolish the minimum 0.97

01:04:06.380 wage uh institute negative income tax make something like coursera or link i don't know

01:04:16.000 what coursera is or linkedin learning free to those out of work loan them a chromebook

01:04:21.320 make our borders a fortress

01:04:23.080 it's not a bad platform

01:04:26.240 not a bad platform at all

01:04:28.640 I don't think

01:04:29.380 can I disagree with any of that

01:04:30.720 not really

01:04:34.220 yeah okay cool

01:04:37.880 the man who knows his stuff there

01:04:42.300 Tom Rapp

01:04:42.860 okay Fallen Firebird says

01:04:44.520 a person's view on resource extraction

01:04:47.300 really is an IQ test

01:04:49.160 even if you do want environmental progress whatever that means a thriving economy and

01:04:56.140 tech is the best remedy not economic suicide yeah quite right yeah statements of of undisputable

01:05:02.140 facts there yeah yeah jc warlock says it's my understanding that carbon is always the result

01:05:13.740 of heating. That's why all the carbon spikes on core sample data indicate carbon lags to

01:05:19.880 heating. Also carbon dissipates heat very effectively. Yeah, we've had levels of carbon

01:05:26.420 dioxide in the atmosphere on Earth stupendously higher than they are now. What did it lead

01:05:32.860 to mega flora massive plants which in turn could lead to mega fauna massive animals

01:05:48.220 i think the co2 in the atmosphere will lead to a runaway greenhouse effect like on venus or

01:05:54.140 or something i mean maybe maybe maybe eventually it'd have to be astronomically higher than it is

01:06:02.980 now not ticking up by a few parts per million every few years it's been way way way way higher

01:06:10.480 millions of years ago i'm talking about yeah it just led to giant plants basically

01:06:16.700 like lily pads that are meters across trees that are like much bigger than trees we have today

01:06:24.200 much bigger i'm talking about in the croataceous or even long before that even all right all right

01:06:31.540 jc warlock again says i will say lochness castle monster till you look up fort george

01:06:40.800 on google maps and confirm it's a dragon's head lol i keep meaning to it don't i harry can you

01:06:48.780 try and remind me it's one of those things i'll say yeah i'll look that i mean it but then i just

01:06:53.520 move on with my day and forget about it i've got a million and one things i'm trying to juggle

01:06:57.620 be perfectly honest harry if you can at some point say remember jc warlock's asking to look

01:07:03.540 at that lockness monster thing i'll try and remember mate i will try and remember today

01:07:07.380 okay thank you so you've got to you've got to respect the grind of jc warlock repeatedly saying

01:07:14.960 that okay next one here is from a name hero sent chicky ban i'm not even going to do a second

01:07:25.820 attempt at that sorry if i'm getting it completely wrong this person says reminder mandelson was the

01:07:33.460 who got death penalty for treason removed not self-interest there i'm sure yeah yeah blair

01:07:39.380 i think during yeah like the mountain years of blair we already abolished the death penalty for

01:07:45.700 nearly everything back in like the 50s or 60s i think the 60s but it was technically still on

01:07:51.860 the books for treason like left over from the medieval period and they got rid of that hmm

01:07:58.980 Hmm

01:08:02.460 Interesting, isn't it?

01:08:08.220 Right

01:08:08.700 Fallen Firebird again says

01:08:11.700 Reservoirs have machinery under the surface

01:08:14.760 Okay, maybe I was missing something

01:08:16.120 Machinery under the surface

01:08:17.480 Pipes, water extraction stuff, etc

01:08:19.600 Which creates artificial riptides and unseen currents

01:08:22.760 Okay, I didn't really know much of this

01:08:24.360 No, you're saying it

01:08:25.380 I was like, oh yeah, I did that

01:08:26.520 But I'd forgotten all of that

01:08:27.560 Okay

01:08:27.860 These also start and stop

01:08:31.540 So it can seem safe until you're in

01:08:33.840 Right, okay, alright, if that's the case

01:08:36.000 Oof

01:08:37.040 Fair enough

01:08:39.500 I mean, that's the case for reservoirs

01:08:41.120 A normal lake won't have any of that, are they?

01:08:42.920 Some of these people died in normal lakes

01:08:44.500 But a fair point, though, still, good

01:08:46.060 I mean, not good, terrible

01:08:47.380 Okay

01:08:49.500 I remember not to go paddling in a reservoir

01:08:53.040 imagine getting like sucked sucked in or mangled up by it oh all right

01:09:00.840 interesting though fair point thanks for sending that in genuinely interesting good to learn good

01:09:06.500 to know right rick wgp says don't do it bo i won't be watching if you do sports ball bollocks every

01:09:15.480 day i'll give it to a minimum when the world cup's on and it's on the front pages i've got

01:09:20.340 at least recognize that it's a thing but i'll keep it to a minimum i get it i get it i keep it to an

01:09:26.120 absolute minimum unless england win the world cup i warn you now the day after or if it's a monday

01:09:32.020 morning because aren't finals usually on saturday or something if england win the world cup i shall

01:09:37.480 spend at least five or ten minutes talking about it other than that other than that i promise you

01:09:46.420 I'll keep it to an absolute minimum.

01:09:48.440 The poll today was pretty decisive.

01:09:53.540 And the last rumble around today, again from Rick WGP, says,

01:09:56.900 31st of May is 110 years since the Battle of Jutland.

01:10:00.800 Just saying, because it falls on Sunday.

01:10:03.620 We talked about the Battle of Jutland just yesterday, didn't we?

01:10:05.640 At least in passing.

01:10:07.340 Wasn't there a thing on the website, on the Stay in History website,

01:10:09.740 that mentioned the Battle of Tsushima,

01:10:12.360 where Japanese and Russian battleships fought each other?

01:10:16.420 And it said it was the only time that ever happened

01:10:18.020 And I was like, well, what about the Battle of Jutland?

01:10:21.620 That's another thing I've been threatening to do

01:10:24.260 A long-form bit of content about

01:10:25.500 I've mentioned it before on Epochs, the Battle of Jutland

01:10:28.200 But it should do a whole thing on it

01:10:29.580 I want to speak to that Drakonel

01:10:31.480 I nearly got an interview with him ages ago

01:10:34.840 He's a YouTuber, a history YouTube content creator

01:10:38.480 Who does naval history

01:10:39.560 I'd love to chat to some

01:10:41.620 I'd love to be in conversation with someone

01:10:43.720 That knows the Battle of Jutland absolutely inside out

01:10:45.920 And everything around it

01:10:47.080 Far more than I do

01:10:48.500 That would be cool

01:10:50.480 I'd like to do that

01:10:51.300 Alright

01:10:52.400 That's the last rumble rant

01:10:53.940 Let's have a look at the YouTube superchats

01:10:56.900 If you can bring those up for me Harry

01:10:58.240 Oh

01:10:59.340 You already have

01:11:00.460 Okay great

01:11:01.140 There's a dozen I'll say

01:11:03.480 Maybe a few more

01:11:04.180 Let's whip through these

01:11:05.220 Let's have a look

01:11:06.220 Evan Hughes 9899 says

01:11:09.840 On this day in history

01:11:11.440 My mother passed away

01:11:13.040 Man I'm sorry to hear that

01:11:15.920 She has fought fiercely for five years with M&D, what is that M&D, motor neurons disease,

01:11:28.460 terrifying disease, but decided to withdraw treatment today, RIP Frances Ann Perkins-Hughes

01:11:37.680 O'Brien, in the heavens with our fathers, I'm really genuinely sorry to hear that Evan,

01:11:45.920 I too have lost my mother

01:11:50.980 and she just had cancer

01:11:57.000 but what can I say

01:12:01.100 the only thing I can say

01:12:03.640 because it was a while ago for me

01:12:04.500 it was like 10 years ago or so

01:12:05.660 time does heal

01:12:08.260 it's one of those things you

01:12:12.520 don't think you'll ever get over it

01:12:15.920 And it's a scar that will never go away

01:12:18.320 It's not something you get over

01:12:20.320 You just learn to live with it

01:12:22.160 But time does heal

01:12:26.760 I know it's a cliche

01:12:28.180 And when people tell you that at the time

01:12:31.020 When you're in the depths

01:12:31.980 Of mourning

01:12:34.680 Doesn't mean anything to you at that point

01:12:37.900 But it's true

01:12:38.980 It is true

01:12:39.780 Enough years go by

01:12:42.120 And that open wound turns into scar tissue

01:12:45.860 I'm sorry to hear that Evan

01:12:50.480 I miss my mum every day

01:12:56.380 Okay

01:13:04.820 Don't cry

01:13:06.460 Bo

01:13:08.840 Don't cry

01:13:10.080 The history simp

01:13:12.900 Says

01:13:14.420 if you could give any historical figure medicine to save them it's interesting who would it be and

01:13:20.480 why that's a great history nerds question i've considered alexander the great henry the fifth

01:13:25.960 and baldwin the fourth oh great picks see what henry the fifth is a good pick it might be my

01:13:32.700 it might actually be my pick that's a great pick some of these other like baldwin the fifth had

01:13:38.640 what leprosy wasn't it late stage leprosy well eventually late stage leprosy alexander the

01:13:44.600 great probably had all sorts of things wrong with him wearing himself out alcoholism kidney failure

01:13:53.220 whatever was henry the fifth put him on a drip and give him some antibiotics he would have been

01:14:00.080 all right he was still young and vital he got dysentery give him nice clean food lots of

01:14:07.380 liquids put him on a drip as i say antibiotics would have been fine he only needed to have lived

01:14:14.520 another what three months or so i think it's something in the order of three months if henry

01:14:19.400 v crazy amount of long-form content 20 hours 25 30 hours i don't know how many hours i did on

01:14:24.760 henry v crazy amount of content if he'd lived for i think about another three months he would have

01:14:31.060 united the crowns of france and england if he'd lived for another 10 years 20 years more

01:14:36.340 The whole timeline of European history

01:14:39.260 Western European history

01:14:40.180 Would have been entirely different 1.00

01:14:41.140 And almost certainly in our favour 0.95

01:14:44.480 England's favour 0.96

01:14:45.320 I think Henry V 1.00

01:14:48.980 That's a good one

01:14:50.240 Okay

01:17:17.740 They are corrupt.

01:17:20.280 But football itself is still the same, isn't it? 0.92

01:17:24.840 They never, like, changed the rules so drastically

01:17:27.080 that it's, like, the game itself is ruined.

01:19:27.700 Right.

01:19:28.740 Brendan Lucas said,

01:19:29.880 The inequality answer from the front bench is not a good omen.

01:19:33.720 Yeah, yeah, it's commie.

01:19:35.020 It's commie pinko stuff, isn't it?

01:19:38.660 Means they are planning to raise taxes past the Laffer curve on the wealthy.

01:19:44.020 Yeah, yeah.

01:19:45.920 You get socialists, wannabe socialists, wannabe commies,

01:19:49.220 talk about inequality, it means they're going to try and destroy rich people.

01:19:53.260 or people that aren't even rich middle class people and once that's achieved working class

01:19:58.500 people that have got anything at all that's how that goes that's what socialism is that's what

01:20:05.040 communism is quite right brendan okay marcos 588 says narbo without doubt nate furious and even

01:20:43.440 of f1 the whole history of f1 it's quite long it's one over two hours i believe i recall

01:20:47.500 really good i thought if you like it if you're interested in that brilliant bit of content i'd

01:20:52.060 say if you couldn't care less about racing and formula one give it a swerve yeah i'd like to

01:20:57.560 make more stuff about about cars and racing brendan lucas again says it is believed apple

01:21:03.800 computers named themselves after the alan turing incident but it's because apple comes from atari

01:21:09.680 in the phone book oh it comes before atari in the phone book right yeah there's a story about

01:21:14.520 alan turing isn't there that he i can't remember the exact details but you're right there was a

01:21:19.360 He had an apple

01:21:20.340 Did he poison an apple and then eat a bit of the apple

01:21:23.320 And the apple

01:21:24.600 With a big bite out of it

01:21:27.120 Was found on the table next to him

01:21:29.340 Something like that if I recall

01:21:31.020 I can't remember exactly

01:21:31.880 He said oh that's Apple's logo

01:21:34.920 Alan Turing suicide apple

01:21:36.800 That's just not the case

01:21:38.600 Yeah I think you're exactly right

01:21:40.100 Okay

01:21:41.940 Ricky Allen

01:21:44.920 2195 says

01:21:46.580 Morning Bo

01:21:47.240 morning love the show cheers i watch every morning brilliant just to let you know it's thursday not

01:21:56.900 wednesday keep up the good work harry didn't i specifically ask you to confirm it was wednesday

01:22:04.400 yeah yeah that was my fault okay well thank you ricky allen for that correction i think i did

01:22:14.560 it last week as well i'm pretty sure i did it last week i just said the wrong day

01:22:17.500 honestly days merge into one of it but thanks for letting me know thanks for the correction

01:22:26.620 should be a bit more on the ball than that shouldn't i really yeah yeah yeah yeah last

01:22:33.100 night was wednesday evening wasn't it so it's now thursday quite right all right we've got three more

01:22:38.680 here marcus 588 again says and it's like a it's in it's a quote mark says all discussions of a

01:22:46.300 single nonsense soy sports ball talking point shall be kept to an absolute minimum okay i get

01:22:55.740 it the vast majority of you 80 plus don't care about sports ball loud and clear fair enough

01:23:03.740 brendan lucas again says well the hood and the bismarck uh the great battleships giant world

01:23:11.640 or two era battleships um you say the hood and the bismarck briefly engaged each other

01:23:17.640 um that's true yeah that's true um i believe u.s fast battleships also had a tangle with

01:23:26.620 uh jap battleships in new guinea is that the um would that have been like the

01:23:33.340 battle of the coral sea or something i think when people say battleships they're talking about

01:23:40.120 really and i think you've said this wrong by the way i think they're talking about they're getting

01:23:44.200 a bit nerdy a bit fedora tip about it that a capital battleship is a really really specific

01:23:50.600 Thing, not just any

01:23:52.500 Big warship, that's not a battleship

01:23:54.380 A battleship is like

01:23:56.340 Quite a specific type

01:23:57.720 And that then, other than one-on-ones

01:24:00.760 Like the Hood versus the Bismarck or something

01:24:02.640 Other than one-on-ones

01:24:04.040 Plenty of those in World War II

01:24:05.540 Where one side's got a number

01:24:08.880 Of battleships

01:24:10.760 And the other side's got a number of battleships

01:24:13.020 And they

01:24:13.820 Yeah

01:24:16.100 Anyway, yeah, what you said there

01:24:19.060 It's all true

01:24:19.740 All right

01:24:22.100 And now Crawley

01:24:24.340 With a load of zeros in it

01:24:25.440 Crawley just says

01:24:28.120 We all believe in Rupert Bowe

01:24:30.400 Yes

01:24:31.120 He feels authentic

01:24:34.660 Doesn't he

01:24:35.240 He's already rich

01:24:39.420 He's not doing it for money

01:24:40.760 Like Nigel seems to be

01:24:43.080 It's not about money is it

01:24:45.340 It's about doing the right thing

01:24:48.620 It's about trying to restore Britain

01:24:52.440 To restore it

01:24:54.040 Not reform it

01:24:56.460 Not move the deck chairs around

01:24:59.780 Not just dial up the manager

01:25:02.280 No, restore it

01:25:03.520 Yeah, take it back to what it was

01:25:06.440 When it was better

01:25:07.300 Yeah

01:25:08.820 Love it

01:25:12.340 Oh, Brendan Lucas just kicked in with one final one

01:25:14.220 Dreadnought and super dreadnought class ships

01:25:16.920 right so again we're talking about the the specific class of of warships right oh and

01:25:25.860 another one just sticked in as well may as well read it marcos 588 again says no bow it's just

01:25:31.000 an appropriate minimum was merely paraphrasing the fat herald from hbo's rome tv show keep it

01:25:40.760 up mate oh what you said then oh i get it yeah i love hbo's rome by the way it's great i've

01:25:46.400 watched it like half a dozen times. It's really, really good. An appropriate minimum. Right,
