00:01:08.120 Legacy mainstream media going on about

00:01:11.480 And isn't important
00:01:12.620 A terror attack
00:01:14.480 Terror on our streets
00:01:18.500 And UK anti-Semitism
00:01:20.460 Out of control
00:01:21.440 Says the
00:01:23.660 Says Fleet Street
00:01:25.180 Okay
00:01:27.440 It's on the front page of basically everything today
00:01:30.620 There was a knife attack in Golders Green
00:01:34.100 Harry can you check this camera's focused properly please
00:01:39.560 Terror attack on the streets and UK anti-semitism out of control
00:01:44.720 So yeah in Golders Green which is a Jewish area of London
00:01:49.480 North London
00:01:50.140 A very big Jewish community there
00:01:52.380 And a man went round
00:01:56.000 Just a man, a British man
00:01:57.260 Stabbed a couple of people
00:02:00.780 Not to death
00:02:02.980 They're both in a stable condition
00:02:04.400 Yeah, it's just British anti-Semitism
00:02:09.620 Just a British man
00:02:11.860 Well, he was born in Somalia
00:02:13.540 He's a British man
00:02:17.760 A British man born in Somalia
00:02:19.240 That's what we're told
00:02:22.680 A Somalian
00:02:26.820 No sorry
00:02:27.520 Sorry let's not be crazy
00:02:29.000 That's crazy isn't it 1.00
00:02:30.040 It's a Somalian 0.87
00:02:31.040 A Somalian digit 0.95
00:02:31.820 Okay 0.98
00:02:32.640 Alright
00:02:34.680 So here it is
00:02:35.660 It's on the front page
00:02:36.400 Of everything
00:02:36.700 Police declared terrorist attack
00:02:38.220 Very quick to call this one
00:02:39.180 A terrorist attack
00:02:39.840 After two Jewish men stabbed
00:02:41.620 Suspect detained
00:02:43.360 After 11am knife rampage
00:02:46.020 In North London Street
00:02:46.980 One of the clips that came out
00:02:48.840 Is
00:02:49.040 Some guy just standing at a bus stop
00:02:51.300 I think it was outside
00:02:51.980 Or near a synagogue
00:02:52.960 Anyway
00:02:53.620 Standing at the bus stop basically
00:02:56.100 This guy sort of casually walks up
00:02:58.880 And then suddenly, just quickly 0.76
00:03:00.300 Starts stabbing him
00:03:02.340 Okay, perhaps the second biggest story
00:03:07.220 As far as the front pages of Fleet Street is concerned
00:03:09.440 Is, there you go
00:03:10.660 Farage was given undisclosed
00:03:12.540 Five million pounds
00:03:14.160 By a billionaire in 2024
00:03:16.580 Oh
00:03:18.500 There must be more to that
00:03:21.060 Surely it's not just as straightforward as that
00:03:23.020 No, it is, yeah
00:03:23.620 He was just given a personal gift
00:03:25.500 Not to reform
00:03:27.540 To Nigel
00:03:29.100 Of 5 million pounds
00:03:31.580 I think in cryptocurrency
00:03:32.540 By some sort of crypto billionaire
00:03:34.400 And Nigel didn't disclose it
00:03:38.860 I think you have to do that
00:03:42.320 Well I know you do
00:03:43.620 You do
00:03:44.140 In fact before we go back to the
00:03:51.280 The terrorist attack in Golders Green
00:03:55.260 Let's have a quick look at that in a bit more detail
00:03:59.620 Okay, here's a thing on, what is it, on Sky News, was it?
00:04:05.480 Yeah, on Sky News, let's just read this, the Nigel Farage thing, and get it out of the way
00:04:09.900 Tories refer Farage to Parliamentary Watchdog over a seven-figure gift from British businessman based in Thailand
00:04:20.120 The Tories have referred Nigel Farage to the Parliamentary Standards watchdog over a 2024 gift
00:04:26.300 Reportedly of around £5 million
00:04:28.600 From a British businessman based in Thailand
00:04:31.540 Conservative Party Chairman Kevin Hollenrake said on X
00:04:35.160 As a new Member of Parliament, Nigel Farage was obliged to report to the House of Commons
00:04:39.820 All political donations and gifts he had received during the previous 12 months
00:04:44.200 That's pretty straightforward, black and white slam dunk
00:04:46.700 Them's the rules
00:04:48.380 He did not
00:04:50.900 Says Conservative Party Chairman
00:04:53.540 Kevin Hollingray
00:04:54.360 He did not
00:04:55.320 Full stop
00:04:55.860 The Conservatives
00:04:58.500 Are therefore today
00:04:59.440 Referring Nigel Farage
00:05:00.540 To the Parliamentary Standards
00:05:01.560 To the Commissioner
00:05:02.080 In a statement
00:05:02.940 A reform UK spokesman said
00:05:04.480 A right of reply
00:05:05.860 This was a personal
00:05:07.600 Unconditional gift
00:05:08.740 That was given
00:05:09.620 Before he was elected
00:05:10.620 That doesn't make any difference
00:05:12.540 What's that got to do with anything
00:05:14.440 You're not
00:05:14.740 That's no defence
00:05:16.140 we are confident everything has been declared in accordance with the rules well wait well
00:05:23.000 was it or wasn't it did you declare it or didn't you because you had to have declared it
00:05:28.580 so if you did then okay if you didn't then rules were broken they're saying you didn't
00:05:37.160 and that you're sort of suggesting that you did we are confident everything has been declared
00:05:41.300 in accordance with the rules well and how possibly could the party conservative party chairman
00:05:50.820 of um they've put it before the parliamentary standards watchdog
00:05:57.940 in the mustache it happens okay it comes after the guardian reported the gift was made by crypto
00:06:05.300 billionaire christopher harbourn in 2024 before farage uh re-entered politics
00:06:12.820 was it still within 12 months of him winning though so winning a seat i don't know okay
00:06:19.620 farage later told the daily telegraph that the money was used to pay for his personal security
00:06:24.020 i don't care what you used it for that doesn't matter either does it and said hey this is bad
00:06:30.020 though nigel said that a lit incendiary device was shoved through his letterbox in early 2025
00:06:37.700 in a quote outrageous arson attempt when he was not in i've never heard of that before but
00:06:43.620 i assume it's true i assume he's not making that up and that is really bad isn't it really bad
00:06:49.140 but it's got nothing to do with whether you declared five million quid or not
00:06:52.500 and that you spent that money on your again the things reforms seem to be saying are just no
00:06:58.180 defence it was a personal unconditional gift before he was elected so he spent on security so
00:07:05.460 i mean good but did you break the rules or not police reportedly investigated the incident of
00:07:12.220 the this arson attack alleged arson attack but have not identified any suspects and surprise
00:07:19.260 surprise and here's a quote christopher is an ardent supporter who deep who's deeply concerned
00:07:25.340 For my safety
00:07:26.040 He told the paper
00:07:27.740 I think Nigel
00:07:28.360 Told the paper
00:07:29.040 Again so
00:07:30.800 I mean good
00:07:31.900 Good for you
00:07:32.440 Genuinely
00:07:33.120 Genuinely good for you
00:07:34.380 But so
00:07:36.680 What's that got to do
00:07:37.280 With this
00:07:38.380 Exactly
00:07:40.200 The question of
00:07:42.380 Whether you declared
00:07:43.140 Five million quid
00:07:44.060 Whether you should have
00:07:45.500 Declared that or not
00:07:46.440 And whether you did
00:07:48.120 Or not
00:07:48.640 Good
00:07:52.200 You know a billionaire
00:07:52.840 Is willing to give you
00:07:53.880 Millions of pounds
00:07:54.440 Great
00:07:54.760 Need to declare it though, bro
00:07:56.600 As previously reported, Harbourn, a former Tory donor
00:08:00.400 Donated £9 million to the Reform UK
00:08:06.320 To Reform UK
00:08:08.240 In August last year 1.00
00:08:09.800 See, the Teal Tories 0.90
00:08:12.020 Tories 2.0 0.70
00:08:13.020 It was the largest political donation on record
00:08:16.440 From a living person
00:08:17.400 After Lord Sainsbury left £10 million to the Conservatives
00:08:20.800 In his will
00:08:21.680 In 2023
00:08:22.740 Alright
00:08:24.140 There you go, so just a little bit about 0.96
00:08:26.220 A little story about Nige 1.00
00:08:27.500 Not declaring 1.00
00:08:30.360 Five million pounds
00:08:31.380 Alright, let's go back to this 0.95
00:08:33.840 Terrorist incident
00:08:35.360 The Telegraph, a due hate
00:08:38.020 Out of control in the UK
00:08:39.680 I mean, all sorts of hate
00:08:44.040 Is out of control in the UK, isn't it?
00:08:49.380 Police arrest suspect
00:08:50.700 Well, it was not a suspect, it was definitely him, wasn't it?

00:08:57.740 victims in hospital as Iran-linked group
00:09:01.120 claims responsibility for unprovoked attack.
00:09:04.760 Netanyahu says words are no longer enough
00:09:07.400 to combat rising anti-Semitism.
00:09:10.520 Well, what would you have us do, Bibi?
00:09:12.380 Everyone's now got to walk around with a gun in Britain 1.00
00:09:14.500 like they do in Jerusalem. 0.99
00:09:19.200 We used to have a high-trust society. 0.92
00:09:20.680 We used to have a low-crime high-trust society
00:09:22.820 not that long ago.
00:09:24.140 Instants like this were extremely rare not very long ago, but now we've got to just become
00:09:35.440 some sort of highly militarised state because of migration, because of open borders, because
00:09:46.640 of multiculturalism.
00:09:49.520 that big fat Somali barbarian there, there you go, Viraj's home firebombed as he reveals 0.53
00:09:57.960 5 million pound security fund, ok, anti-semitism is out of control in UK warns Israel, alright, 0.99
00:10:09.920 Labour told empty words of condemnation not enough, well what would you have us do, what
00:10:14.900 would you have us do? Yeah, let's have a look at some of the other websites. Let's go to
00:10:19.980 some of the other websites a bit earlier because it gives you the tone and tenor of this thing.
00:10:25.360 Look. Israel warns British anti-Semitism is out of control and protesters brand PM Keir
00:10:30.820 Starmer, Jew harmer, after bloodbath on streets of Golders Green left too hurt. Wave of hate

00:10:53.340 anything so what do you want words are not enough what you want us to round up all somalias then
00:10:59.320 send them back that would be that would be racist and bigoted and un-british according 0.86
00:11:05.500 to these same people isn't it what do you what do you want us what
00:11:12.700 Mad isn't it
00:11:14.740 Keir Starmer has a national emergency on his hands
00:11:17.920 And he's doing absolutely nothing
00:11:19.720 Oh this is a national emergency yeah
00:11:23.860 Not the Southport thing
00:11:25.620 Not the 70 odd rapes

00:11:29.820 That's knocking 200 a day 1.00
00:11:31.900 190 odd rapes a day
00:11:33.460 That's not a national emergency 0.94

00:11:39.820 That's a national emergency
00:11:41.060 Right
00:11:42.700 Right
00:11:44.840 We're going to hold a Cobra meeting over this
00:11:47.620 Is there a Cobra meeting when Wayne Broadhurst was murdered?
00:11:54.860 Don't recall a Cobra meeting after Rhiannon White was murdered
00:11:58.380 Oh but this is a Cobra meeting
00:12:02.700 This is a national emergency now
00:12:04.040 In short Britain has become infested with the sickness of anti-Semitism
00:12:08.240 Britain's got a disease 0.85
00:12:09.720 Just Britain 1.00
00:12:10.280 Just Brits 1.00
00:12:11.440 We've got a disease, the whole country's got a disease 0.93
00:12:15.360 And it's anti-Semitism 0.98
00:12:16.980 Right 0.52
00:12:18.860 More needs to be done though, you know, The Sun
00:12:23.740 Shame on you 0.95
00:12:24.600 Furious Jews slam cops and MPs after Golders Green terror attack 0.98
00:12:28.760 Branding anti-Semitism biggest national emergency since Covid 0.57
00:12:33.400 Is it?
00:12:41.440 labor told empty words of condemnation not enough
00:12:58.020 what do you want what do you want we've been talking about this haven't we
00:13:04.600 quite a while people like us people on our side of the aisle
00:13:07.000 But you won't find
00:13:10.640 On the papers or on the websites
00:13:13.160 You won't find anything about Islam
00:13:15.320 It's just British anti-Semitism 0.97
00:13:18.920 Is the problem 0.98
00:13:19.800 Not Islam 1.00
00:13:22.960 They won't talk about Islam 0.99
00:13:24.200 There's a wider problem
00:13:27.480 With the culture of anti-Semitism
00:13:29.020 Right, you talk about Islam
00:13:30.280 But you won't talk about that 0.99
00:13:33.720 You'd have to be a far right 0.72
00:13:36.200 Psycho to say the word Islam 0.83
00:13:39.460 To talk about Islam in the same breath 0.95
00:13:40.780 As anti-Semitism, apparently
00:13:42.740 Well, what do you want then?
00:13:45.480 What do you want? You want more done
00:13:46.620 Words aren't enough now
00:13:47.900 But you won't let anyone talk about it
00:13:50.500 Properly, really
00:13:51.440 You're in a bit of a bind then, aren't you?
00:13:59.020 You want the disease of anti-Semitism
00:14:00.980 To be confronted and controlled
00:14:02.880 We can't talk about anything that's in the Hadiths or the Quran
00:14:08.000 Get somebody's milk toast to Tommy Robinson
00:14:13.400 Go on TV 1.00
00:14:14.080 Start to try and say something about the Quran 1.00
00:14:16.460 And just cut him off 1.00
00:14:17.200 Get him off air, end it
00:14:18.960 Never let him on TV again
00:14:20.440 There you go
00:14:23.160 But you want the disease of anti-Semitism to be cut out 0.99
00:14:27.400 And annihilated
00:14:28.620 Without actually addressing it 0.71
00:14:32.880 when jewish graveyards get desecrated it's just just british anti-semitism is it
00:14:41.240 something like this the ambulances got burnt down the other day
00:14:47.640 oh there's a rise in british anti-semitism really what's going on here that really what's going on
00:14:54.840 here if you talk about that there's an issue any sort of issue with specifically islam well that's 0.97
00:15:01.840 It's not just Islamophobia, I mean you're a racist 0.91
00:15:05.840 Even though Islam isn't a race, it's a religion, right? 0.91
00:15:08.840 You could be from Morocco or Indonesia and be a Muslim, it's not about race
00:15:15.840 I mean, it's crazy isn't it? 1.00
00:15:17.840 These are the contradictions of a multicultural society
00:15:24.840 UK antisemitism out of control
00:15:27.840 Because just a British man 0.97
00:15:31.480 Stabbed some Jews 1.00
00:15:32.660 Just a British man 0.97
00:15:37.620 A Somali though, actually 0.80

00:15:57.180 And he's just a maniac 0.98
00:15:59.160 Let's not talk about what's really 0.99
00:16:02.580 In his mind
00:16:04.520 And in his heart
00:16:05.460 And what his actual world view is
00:16:07.880 And his beliefs
00:16:09.320 His values
00:16:10.620 Can't talk about any of that
00:16:11.900 That would be 0.88
00:16:16.460 That would be Nazi 0.93
00:16:17.500 That would be fascist 0.98
00:16:18.320 That would be evil right wing
00:16:19.860 Racism 0.79
00:16:22.160 Either let's have the conversation
00:16:26.980 About this stuff

00:16:28.060 Mainstream media

00:16:30.420 The mainstream media
00:16:31.380 Are we going to be allowed

00:16:55.840 Between Judaism and Islam
00:16:57.800 Are we allowed to talk about any of that? 1.00
00:16:59.960 No, no

00:18:27.680 nuclear uh negotiations and failing to advance towards a deal yeah they're not they look they

00:18:54.360 Truth Social, the President said
00:18:56.220 The regime can't get its act together
00:18:58.400 And doesn't know how to sign
00:19:00.060 A non-nuclear deal, yeah
00:19:01.280 Yeah 0.91
00:19:03.940 I told you that
00:19:05.440 Alright
00:19:09.040 One of the front pages, what is it the same
00:19:12.140 The Daily Express, it's a good paper
00:19:13.520 Same thing, these attacks
00:19:15.520 Are an attack on Britain itself
00:19:17.520 I mean in a sense
00:19:24.500 But you're conflating
00:19:25.660 A number of things there
00:19:28.220 I wouldn't necessarily characterize it
00:19:30.440 Exactly like that myself
00:19:31.560 The sun, how many more
00:19:33.580 Oh, yeah 1.00
00:19:39.040 Not how many more white native Brits get murdered or raped. 1.00
00:19:44.360 They never seem to ask the question about how many... 1.00
00:19:46.120 When Wayne Broadhurst was murdered in the street by an Afghan asylum seeker, 1.00
00:19:51.040 do you know what the response was from the government and senior ministers 1.00
00:19:54.740 and the opposition and the corporate legacy mainstream media?
00:19:58.820 Nothing.
00:20:00.580 Essentially nothing.
00:20:02.560 It was reported in the mainstream media a bit, but...
00:20:04.740 No Cobra meeting, no outrage, no questions of how many more
00:20:09.140 No statement in parliament
00:20:14.860 No ministers going to the scene and expressing any sort of concern or anything
00:20:21.800 Just nothing, just nothing
00:20:24.020 But this, this sparks outrage
00:20:30.980 Fury
00:20:33.140 There's a fury at rise in Jewish attacks 0.67
00:20:37.100 Not really any fury about other attacks on native white Brits
00:20:47.540 Often just completely ignored, papered over
00:20:49.760 Swept under the carpet
00:20:51.280 Stop mentioning them
00:20:54.420 If you go on Twitter, sometimes you'll mention
00:20:57.300 I don't know, something like
00:20:59.160 Lee Rigby
00:21:01.220 Immediately
00:21:02.820 You'll get traitors and communists saying
00:21:04.880 Don't politicise this, why are you politicising this
00:21:06.880 That's evil of you to do that
00:21:10.340 To have remembered the murder of Lee Rigby
00:21:12.940 Or something like that
00:21:13.920 Or Angela White
00:21:15.240 Why are you trying to make a political point
00:21:20.820 About a horrific murder
00:21:22.320 Don't remember it
00:21:25.900 Don't look back in anger
00:21:27.940 Jews targeted and stabbed in Golda's green terror attack 0.97
00:21:32.080 Oh well 0.64
00:21:32.420 I suggest you don't look back in anger

00:23:30.540 Alright
00:23:34.180 Shall we have a look
00:23:35.280 At the websites
00:23:36.560 Here's a slightly different story
00:23:37.660 About the insane amounts
00:23:40.280 Of organised crime
00:23:41.460 In this country
00:23:43.420 I would say
00:23:46.660 That's a bigger emergency
00:23:47.920 One of the biggest emergencies
00:23:49.560 Since Covid
00:23:50.380 Among the biggest emergencies
00:23:52.080 Probably the tens of thousands 0.93
00:23:53.840 Of rapes that happen 1.00
00:23:54.760 Every single day 1.00
00:23:55.360 And that's only the ones
00:23:56.080 That are reported
00:23:56.560 something like the highest 60 or knocking 70,000 odd rapes a year in Britain
00:24:06.160 in England and Wales, sorry
00:24:08.860 only Sweden has a higher amount per capita in Europe
00:24:13.720 something well over 150 a day
00:24:18.820 maybe 180, 190 odd
00:24:20.940 a day that gets reported
00:24:25.140 What a society have they created
00:24:33.700 With open borders
00:24:37.200 And that diversity is a strength 1.00
00:24:42.420 Sorry, our greatest strength
00:24:44.420 And you can't have an in-group preference
00:24:47.680 You can't notice this
00:24:49.040 You're not supposed to notice this
00:24:51.000 You're ostracised and demonised if you notice
00:24:53.940 that there's something like 190 rapes happen a day
00:24:57.600 when our society never used to be like that
00:25:00.920 before Tony Blair 0.99
00:25:02.700 in the 1950s, before Windrush, whatever 0.97
00:25:08.780 never used to be like that
00:25:10.100 what have they done?
00:25:17.460 what have they created?
00:25:18.600 Tony Blair said he would rub our noses in diversity
00:25:21.340 well well done Tony
00:25:22.540 well done
00:25:24.580 thanks for that
00:25:27.020 brilliant
00:25:29.080 and now
00:25:31.960 now even to this day
00:25:35.180 anyone that wants to try and reverse it
00:25:38.120 try and do something about it
00:25:39.860 hope not hate will try and destroy you
00:25:43.040 try and make sure you can't get a job 0.74
00:25:45.220 try and debank you or whatever
00:25:47.140 not just hope not hate
00:25:48.520 loads of different organisations
00:25:49.520 they'll try and ruin you
00:25:52.540 You're the problem
00:25:56.820 If you've noticed there's a giant 0.84
00:26:00.900 Pandemic
00:26:02.360 Of sex crime in this country
00:26:05.360 That never used to be the case
00:26:06.660 You're the problem
00:26:07.420 What madness
00:26:08.800 That paradigm can't last forever
00:26:12.260 It won't last forever
00:26:13.260 It's a pressure cooker
00:26:14.640 That's a pressure cooker there
00:26:16.500 That cannot be contained forever
00:26:18.640 We talk about we want to try and
00:26:22.220 Deport people
00:26:23.380 Millions
00:26:24.680 Millions must go
00:26:25.700 They just say no
00:26:29.260 Be quiet bigot
00:26:30.140 More safe and legal routes
00:26:31.540 If anything
00:26:32.000 It's a pressure cooker
00:26:40.860 As long as you're aware of that
00:26:45.760 Safe and legal route people
00:26:46.940 You can't demonise the other
00:26:49.440 That's what they'll say 0.95
00:26:51.400 Why do you hate brown people? 0.97
00:26:53.960 It's not just brown people, is it? 0.98
00:26:57.200 It's not just the amount of melanin in their skin
00:27:00.660 That's the thing here, is it?
00:27:03.300 There's large populations from countries that aren't brown
00:27:06.700 Albania, Romania, Poland, whatever
00:27:11.800 They're white 0.99
00:27:13.440 They engage in not just sex crime 1.00
00:27:16.600 All sorts of organised crime
00:27:18.100 But don't mention it
00:27:22.260 Just allow your country to be flooded by violent people 0.98
00:27:24.940 Rapists and organised criminals 0.99
00:27:26.640 Just allow it and don't notice
00:27:28.520 Don't you dare say anything about it
00:27:34.840 Don't you dare hope that it could be reversed in any way
00:27:37.720 That would be a far right fantasy
00:27:39.840 Okay, here's a story
00:27:48.100 About people that are trying to blow the whistle
00:27:52.200 Or do anything about the fact that our high street is absolutely flooded
00:27:56.560 By fake shops that are fronts for
00:28:01.500 Modern day slavery, human trafficking, money laundering, drug dealing
00:28:07.320 All sorts of crime, organised crime
00:28:11.060 People that try and, it's even their job 1.00
00:28:14.380 to find out about it put a spotlight on it oh they're told uh we will kill you and burn your 0.97
00:28:23.260 house council staff under attack from high street gangs let's just read a bit of this 0.98
00:28:33.320 a midnight call from a high street crime gang threatening to kill crime investigator mandy
00:28:39.600 and burn her house down was just the start of a campaign of intimidation that would eventually
00:28:44.300 forced her and her husband to move home. She faced escalating threats from a Kurdish crime 0.90
00:28:49.940 gang that had been selling illegal cigarettes and nitrous oxide canisters in mini-marts 0.93
00:29:02.700 across the UK. Groups of men repeatedly turned up at her front door and her car was rammed
00:29:08.400 off the road twice mandy is one of 24 trading standards officers who have shared details of
00:29:14.760 the daily intimidation and violence they face from criminal gangs running mini-marts and vape shops
00:29:20.300 as they try to investigate unfair trading illegal business activity and enforced consumer protection
00:29:26.060 laws in testimony shared exclusively with bbc news officers described extreme threats with one 0.86

00:29:36.880 Rape a female officer 1.00
00:29:37.680 It just goes on and on 1.00
00:29:38.620 And on and on
00:29:39.160 You're trying to investigate
00:29:42.400 All the 0.98
00:29:42.880 Like the
00:29:43.420 All the
00:29:44.960 Fake
00:29:46.220 Fronts
00:29:47.680 For organised crime
00:29:48.580 Up and down
00:29:50.180 The length and breadth
00:29:50.800 Of this country
00:29:51.220 Every single town and city
00:29:52.580 You will find
00:29:54.420 Fake vape shops
00:29:55.940 Fake chicken shops
00:29:57.240 Fake barber shops
00:29:58.780 Fake sweet shops
00:30:00.200 Try and do anything about it

00:30:03.520 They'll threaten to kill you 1.00
00:30:06.880 Burn your house down 1.00
00:30:07.920 Set fire to your car 1.00
00:30:09.440 Sit outside your house 0.97
00:30:11.100 Endlessly
00:30:11.860 Intimidating you
00:30:13.740 What kind of society have they created?
00:30:23.780 The crime 1.00
00:30:25.020 The crime of allowing endless numbers of criminals into this country
00:30:31.180 Is unprecedented
00:30:33.500 Historically unprecedented
00:30:35.320 Absolutely crazy
00:30:38.540 And yet you'll get somebody like Lisa Nandy
00:30:43.420 Telling you just accept it
00:30:46.200 It's happened now, it's a fate of complete
00:30:48.320 There's nothing you can do
00:30:49.320 Somebody like Narendra Kaur
00:30:52.800 Just accept it, there's no way back
00:30:55.400 Can't possibly go on a course correction 1.00
00:30:59.000 Remigration or something 1.00
00:31:00.800 That wouldn't do 0.55
00:31:01.760 That would be anti-British
00:31:03.280 That would be crazy
00:31:04.900 that'd be fascist
00:31:05.780 no
00:31:09.620 no
00:31:12.300 millions must go
00:31:13.500 we must aim high and vote low
00:31:15.960 because millions must go 1.00
00:31:17.960 this is a call for zoomers to boomers 1.00
00:31:22.880 to aim high and vote low 0.95
00:31:24.180 reform won't get it done
00:31:29.240 you think Zia Yusuf
00:31:30.740 as home secretary and Nigel Farage as prime minister
00:31:33.380 won't pull
00:31:34.640 The exact same thing
00:31:36.240 That the Boris government 0.99
00:31:38.120 And the Rishi government did 1.00
00:31:40.040 Oh we're trying
00:31:42.540 Oh look
00:31:46.280 The courts say we can't
00:31:48.360 So oh well
00:31:49.340 Yeah no we're trying 1.00
00:31:51.840 Zia's trying 1.00
00:31:54.340 Really really hard but Nigel wouldn't let him
00:31:56.200 Or something or other
00:31:57.020 They won't do it will they
00:32:00.220 I think you know deep down in your hearts
00:32:01.900 Reform people if you're out there
00:32:03.160 You're a reform supporter
00:32:05.640 And you're not actually being paid
00:32:08.180 To shill on behalf of the party
00:32:12.760 You haven't actually been promised
00:32:15.240 A seat
00:32:16.540 You're just honest with yourself
00:32:18.620 I think you'll probably know 0.72
00:32:19.980 NIAG is a containment project 0.51
00:32:23.620 And you won't get what's necessary
00:32:25.520 From reform
00:32:26.940 Because what's necessary
00:32:29.300 Is
00:32:31.640 Not being scared
00:32:35.120 Of being branded
00:32:36.180 A bigot and a racist 0.97
00:32:38.260 By leftists and communists and traitors 0.99
00:32:40.660 Don't care about that 0.99
00:32:42.420 Shrug that off and deport millions of people 1.00
00:32:44.720 That are ruining our society 1.00
00:32:46.560 That's what's required
00:32:47.880 That's not what reform we're going to do, is it?
00:32:51.000 They're not going to do that 0.98
00:32:52.080 They're political cowards 0.81
00:32:54.120 And, well, a containment project 0.97
00:32:55.500 It's a containment project
00:33:01.640 What about that terrorist attack?
00:33:06.160 Story after story of that terrorist attack
00:33:08.780 Sausage Fingers, Saxe-Coburg, Gotha
00:33:14.280 Went to New York 1.00
00:33:15.340 Met a load of black people, black kids 0.95
00:33:19.920 Which he did, why not?
00:33:23.760 Why not?
00:33:24.700 They're laughing it up
00:33:25.660 He's having a good time
00:33:26.740 The defender of all faiths
00:33:31.640 Defender of multiculturalism
00:33:35.180 Environmentalism 0.90
00:33:39.880 Never hear him say a peep about
00:33:44.080 The plight and danger 1.00
00:33:46.440 Of native white Brits 1.00
00:33:49.140 Do you ever hear him talk about it?
00:33:51.160 No, you don't
00:33:52.080 No, you don't
00:33:55.080 Do you hear him talk about how great Islam is, loads?
00:33:56.960 Yeah, oh yeah, you do
00:33:58.200 That's weird, isn't it?
00:33:59.860 That's weird
00:34:00.500 It'll put on a feast for like Eid or something
00:34:04.000 In Buckingham Palace
00:34:05.500 Or Windsor Castle or something
00:34:07.780 That's weird
00:34:10.240 Why is the King of England, the head of the Church of England
00:34:13.940 Doing stuff like that 1.00
00:34:15.240 Bigging up Islam 1.00
00:34:17.140 And keeping absolutely shtum about our plight 1.00
00:34:21.600 At the hands of invaders
00:34:24.100 Why is that?
00:34:28.120 Why does the King
00:34:29.260 defend the dynamic
00:34:32.660 of having us invaded, essentially.
00:34:39.480 Did the king make a statement about the murder of Wayne Broadhurst?
00:34:42.260 No, he didn't. He didn't say anything.
00:34:44.820 He just ignored it, like it didn't happen.
00:34:46.820 Like it didn't...
00:34:49.260 He's a descendant of the Elector of Hanover.
00:34:56.680 and his father was Greek
00:34:59.560 I wonder if we can find a line of descendants
00:35:07.560 from one of the last 0.97
00:35:09.260 true
00:35:09.940 true Briton kings
00:35:13.000 not even Anglo-Saxon
00:35:16.000 true Britons
00:35:16.980 probably a Welshman 0.92
00:35:19.840 a Cornishman
00:35:21.340 perhaps
00:35:22.260 if we can find that bloodline
00:35:25.980 Get rid of this cuckoo in the nest 1.00
00:35:28.080 Get rid of this traitor 1.00
00:35:30.080 I bet he's having a good time 1.00
00:35:33.100 He's laughing it up
00:35:33.800 It's great
00:35:34.640 It's great
00:35:35.620 Gonna have a pink gin
00:35:39.540 And some finger sandwiches
00:35:41.540 I think it's all good
00:35:42.980 Alright
00:35:47.380 Alright
00:35:49.400 Have a look at something slightly different
00:35:51.320 And now for something completely different
00:35:54.260 There was something in the Washington Post, was it?
00:35:58.260 In the Washington Post
00:35:59.040 Oh, here's a story I thought was mildly interesting
00:36:00.440 In recent weeks 0.84
00:36:02.100 Mainly because of the Iran thing, I think 1.00
00:36:04.160 The Mandy thing
00:36:04.860 I haven't gone to many of the other websites from around the world, have I?
00:36:09.700 Sort of haven't got time
00:36:10.460 An hour isn't actually all that long, is it?
00:36:12.480 In the scheme of things
00:36:13.060 Even an hour and a half
00:36:14.200 I often do an hour and ten, an hour and twenty
00:36:16.340 Don't know, an hour and a half maybe
00:36:17.700 It's supposed to be an hour long show
00:36:19.000 Don't say I'm not generous
00:36:20.760 But in the Washington Post, here's a story
00:36:23.880 Supreme Court, US Supreme Court
00:36:27.480 Limits key provision
00:36:29.240 Of the landmark Voting Rights Act 0.98
00:36:32.520 So to his credit
00:36:34.100 Trump is trying to bring in some legislation
00:36:36.440 To cut back
00:36:38.860 Try and cut out entirely
00:36:40.520 Sort of voting fraud
00:36:41.460 Obviously after that Biden win
00:36:44.540 In what was it, 2020
00:36:45.880 The 2020 presidential election
00:36:47.740 Seems to have been some anomalies
00:36:51.460 So he's trying to cut out various things
00:36:57.660 The way often the Democrats will sort of
00:37:00.220 All sorts of things as well
00:37:01.420 Loads and loads of different things
00:37:02.280 One of the things
00:37:03.160 Not just voting by ballot
00:37:05.920 Voting by mail
00:37:07.600 Which is always, always
00:37:11.540 Whenever you're allowed to vote by mail
00:37:13.520 In any sort of volume
00:37:16.000 That's always subverted into electoral fraud
00:37:21.000 Voting by mail
00:37:23.480 Should be a very very rare thing
00:37:25.280 If you're 0.97
00:37:27.020 If you work abroad 0.96
00:37:27.940 Someone like that 0.92
00:37:28.660 If you're so badly disabled 0.99
00:37:30.480 You can't get to the ballot box
00:37:31.920 The day of the vote
00:37:32.760 And then you can't get anyone else
00:37:33.720 To do it for you
00:37:34.360 Okay
00:37:34.980 So a very very small number of people
00:37:36.980 The idea that anyone and everyone
00:37:38.560 Can just vote by mail 0.98
00:37:39.740 Ridiculous 0.97
00:37:41.500 The machines 0.97
00:37:44.960 The voting machines
00:37:48.000 That might accidentally get something wrong
00:37:50.200 Might
00:37:51.000 or might not, the idea of redrawing electoral boundaries, you just redraw it slightly in
00:37:58.920 your favour, one way or the other, both Democrats and Republicans, but the Democrats obviously,
00:38:05.420 obviously much worse, but this decision by the Supreme Court could touch off a scramble
00:38:11.420 by Republicans to redraw majority-minority congressional districts, especially in the
00:38:16.500 South that could cost many black Democrats their seats. Oh well. Womp womp. Excess spars with 1.00
00:38:29.480 lawmakers as Iran war's price tag hits 25 billion. Not a fantastic amount is it? Doesn't the national
00:38:36.200 debt in America go up by that much every few days is it? Days? So the US national debt like
00:38:46.020 Over 30 trillion dollars or something
00:38:49.020 So what's another 25 billion really
00:38:51.900 To them
00:38:52.620 It's all nonsense at this point isn't it
00:38:55.240 The numbers have got no real bearing on reality anymore
00:38:57.820 Have they
00:38:58.120 They've got no connection with like the amount of
00:39:01.620 National reserves of bullion or whatever
00:39:03.160 The Americans have or haven't got
00:39:05.020 What are they going to do
00:39:08.000 A big audit of Fort Knox
00:39:09.340 Didn't Trump want to do that
00:39:12.860 He said he was going to do that
00:39:16.020 not real not a proper one was it yeah the national debt of the united states is
00:39:23.020 astronomical a number that doesn't it barely means anything does it
00:39:27.740 30 33 35 trillion dollars whatever it is something like that it's in that ballpark
00:39:32.800 25 billion just throw another just throw that on top oh we've got to give ukraine another 90
00:39:40.260 billion now or something
00:39:41.700 there's no way the taxpayers of the united states as big as it is
00:39:48.020 could ever ever ever dream of sort of repaying that sort of thing
00:39:51.780 all right powell says jerome powell the chair of the federal reserve
00:40:02.000 says he'll remain on fed board after turbo's chair ends
00:40:07.020 Okay
00:40:08.060 If and when there's some giant
00:40:11.700 Giant worldwide economic collapse
00:40:14.380 Historians
00:40:16.160 Well sorry
00:40:16.620 When that happens
00:40:18.200 People look back at people like
00:40:20.780 Alan Greenspan
00:40:22.940 Or Jerome Powell
00:40:25.200 Various people that have been at the Fed
00:40:28.400 The Federal Reserve
00:40:29.380 Various people in the US Treasury
00:40:33.260 What have you done?
00:40:38.340 What did you do?
00:40:40.580 Weren't people warning you all along
00:40:42.680 That to run up such an insane debt
00:40:45.220 Was sort of dangerous
00:40:47.900 Or not sustainable
00:40:49.120 Oh yeah, people were saying it
00:40:51.980 They just ignored it
00:40:55.620 And so did they
00:40:58.420 They had no other choice
00:40:59.180 But to borrow and borrow and borrow
00:41:01.540 And spend and spend and spend
00:41:02.900 Far beyond their means
00:41:04.760 Astronomically far beyond their means
00:41:08.220 They know what they're doing
00:41:12.100 Do they?
00:41:15.260 Drone pal
00:41:15.920 Alrighty
00:41:18.900 Alright
00:41:22.060 Well it's nearly quarter two
00:41:25.740 I need to try and finish by
00:41:28.200 9am this morning if possible
00:41:30.000 Because I'm on the podcast
00:41:32.640 i'm on the main podcast today at 1 p.m british summertime do check that out i think it's me
00:41:40.760 stelios and luca definitely me anyway all right let's have a quick look on this day in history
00:41:46.700 and then we'll get to the rumble rants and super chats all right on this day the 30th april down
00:41:50.640 through the centuries what happened i've known what have we got here what does this what does
00:41:54.700 this really quite woke website tell us this morning 311 in the year 311 ad roman emperor
00:42:00.900 emperor galerius issues the edict of toleration ending the persecution of christians in the roman
00:42:06.360 empire interesting i mean he was very anti-christian himself but diocletian's persecutions
00:42:12.720 were much much more than he would have done so he ended them i talked before didn't i i think
00:42:18.660 on saint george's day about diocletian the emperor diocletian and his tetrarchy the rule of four
00:42:24.700 emperors Galerius was part of that big part of that and Diocletian persecuted Christians
00:42:32.620 then when Diocletian abdicated Galerius became the most senior if I'm not mistaken
00:42:40.440 Galerius became the most senior emperor out of the four even though there were four emperors
00:42:46.260 there was the idea was one of them was the most senior one he had a partner another Augustus
00:42:51.620 who were supposed to be on a level with him
00:42:53.380 and then there's two junior Caesar emperors
00:42:55.560 under those each
00:42:56.540 a bit complicated but
00:42:57.980 anyway
00:42:58.740 after Diocletian
00:43:01.560 Galerius was supposed to be
00:43:02.740 or was
00:43:03.200 the most senior emperor
00:43:04.900 and then
00:43:08.480 he decided to end
00:43:10.740 Diocletian's persecution of Christians
00:43:13.120 to an extent
00:43:14.540 largely
00:43:15.520 not entirely
00:43:16.260 it's in the generation after Galerius
00:43:19.620 dies of natural causes
00:43:20.840 that we start getting the age of Constantine.
00:43:24.320 Constantine the Great.
00:43:26.360 The reunification of the empire under one man again.
00:43:30.520 Constantine. 0.62
00:43:31.440 Alright.
00:43:33.080 In the year 711, 0.99
00:43:34.100 Islamic conquest of Iberia,
00:43:35.860 Moorish troops led by Tariq ibn Zayed
00:43:38.100 land at Gibraltar
00:43:39.940 to begin their invasion of the Iberian Peninsula.
00:43:42.900 Didn't this website tell us that the other day?
00:43:45.880 Earlier this week?
00:43:48.460 Get it right, pick a day.
00:43:50.840 Which one was it?
00:43:52.860 On this day in 1562, Jean Ribot and colonists arrive in Florida
00:43:59.160 The first French colonists in North America
00:44:01.660 They have a power struggle between the Spanish and the French
00:44:05.520 Over control of what today is called Florida 0.94
00:44:09.640 Of course the Spanish won that, didn't they? 0.96
00:44:13.580 The United States didn't get control of Florida until
00:44:16.060 At some point in the 19th century, wasn't it?
00:44:18.740 Early 19th century?
00:44:20.840 I think
00:44:22.660 Probably later than most Americans think
00:44:26.720 Well, America didn't wrestle control of places like
00:44:30.800 New Mexico and Arizona and Texas 0.55
00:44:33.140 Of the Spanish until the 19th century, wasn't it?
00:44:40.760 The Spanish-American War
00:44:42.220 The Mexico-American War
00:44:45.240 And then the Spanish-American War 1.00
00:44:46.960 I mean, anyway, alright
00:44:48.300 It's not a history show
00:44:49.520 We'll move on
00:44:50.520 on this day in 1789
00:44:52.340 George Washington is inaugurated
00:44:54.480 as the first president of the United States of America
00:44:56.320 at Federal Hall in NYC
00:44:58.480 Harry
00:44:59.540 Harry
00:45:01.780 I think I'll talk about that sort of stuff
00:45:05.120 or go to
00:45:07.000 the stain camp
00:45:07.740 oh no the other one
00:45:10.500 there you go
00:45:12.000 on history bro
00:45:14.680 my history channel
00:45:16.260 I've got a very long form bit of content
00:45:18.420 talking about george washington george washington's life and career a couple of hours worth talking
00:45:24.540 with benjamin boyce about that george was a very uh very very interesting man
00:45:29.160 well his life rather i mean he was a bit dull and humorous but his life and his career and
00:45:36.300 the adventures he had and the things he lived through amazing amazing fascinating okay on this
00:45:42.440 day in 1859, Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities, is first published in the literary
00:45:49.300 periodical all the year round in weekly instalments until November 26th. Yeah, have you ever read
00:45:54.680 a Dickens novel? Have you ever actually read a Dickens novel? They're quite, they're often
00:46:00.480 quite long-winded. I like Dickens, he's a great writer, everyone that reads them, they're
00:46:07.180 They're great, they're really great
00:46:08.820 But they're not particularly succinct
00:46:11.380 Often not very fast moving
00:46:13.100 Often very long winded
00:46:15.840 Why is that?
00:46:17.440 Because it got paid per instalment
00:46:19.140 It wasn't just published
00:46:21.420 As one book in one go, boom
00:46:22.760 You buy the paperback, the Penguin paperback
00:46:25.260 No, it was published in bits
00:46:27.660 Over weeks and weeks and weeks
00:46:29.000 So
00:46:31.380 The longer you draw it out
00:46:34.420 The more you get paid
00:46:37.180 Okay, on this day in 2009, Chrysler Automobile Company files for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
00:46:44.160 When they bought out, well, oh God, I can't remember now, somebody bought out Chrysler, didn't they?
00:46:50.600 GM, I can't remember.
00:46:53.340 Alright, let's have a look at our Rumble Rants and Super Chats.
00:46:59.340 Let me do this with my mic so that I can see the Rumble Rants.
00:47:05.760 let's uh let's have a look here all right oh global church history number one
00:47:11.520 of course he is every day almost almost every day without fail if not every day without fail
00:47:17.360 global church history thank you sir you're some sort of super fan love it cheers i appreciate it
00:47:22.880 all right you say
00:47:24.480 on this day in 65 ad seneca and lucian were forced to commit suicide yeah by nero
00:47:35.760 I think I've got long-form content about Nero
00:47:39.060 And Seneca, actually
00:47:40.440 Yeah, I have, yeah, yeah
00:47:43.860 Do you want a few hours of me talking about Nero?
00:47:46.740 Or on Stelios' symposium
00:47:49.740 We talked all about Seneca
00:47:52.300 Well, we talked all about Stoicism
00:47:53.640 In quite a lot of detail
00:47:57.220 Big chunk talking about specifically
00:48:00.340 The thought and philosophy of Seneca
00:48:02.280 Seneca was Nero's
00:48:03.960 Tutor as a younger man
00:48:06.600 They often say
00:48:08.620 Because Nero became emperor
00:48:10.960 When he was like 17
00:48:11.820 And at first
00:48:14.180 If you believe the accounts
00:48:15.520 Wasn't all that insane
00:48:17.540 Quite quickly became
00:48:20.420 Started acting in more and more
00:48:22.980 Brutal fashion 0.77
00:48:24.400 Murdered his own mother 0.93
00:48:26.780 For example
00:48:27.740 People say it was Seneca that kept him on the straight
00:48:31.160 And narrow to begin with to some extent
00:48:32.780 In the end
00:48:34.580 Basically in the end
00:48:36.160 Nero wouldn't stand for anyone
00:48:40.800 Telling him what to do ever
00:48:42.040 Even at all
00:48:42.720 Even if just like
00:48:43.700 Slightly raising an eyebrow
00:48:45.740 Not really saying anything
00:48:46.800 In the end Seneca just tried to absent himself
00:48:49.920 From the situation
00:48:51.340 That's not good enough
00:48:53.120 Nero had him murdered
00:48:57.320 Forced to commit suicide 0.80
00:48:59.100 Alright
00:49:01.040 It was the nature of Nero
00:49:02.960 You also say
00:49:04.380 On this day in 984
00:49:07.460 AD again 1.00
00:49:09.020 The Muslim
00:49:11.020 Andalusi general

00:49:27.620 And the 0.92
00:49:29.340 Subsequent Reconquista 0.99
00:49:31.100 Will the Spanish need 0.99
00:49:33.520 A spirit of Reconquista 0.93
00:49:35.620 Do the Brits need a spirit of Reconquista
00:49:40.100 Fortean Barber says
00:49:43.560 Morning!
00:49:45.020 Morning!
00:49:45.620 Have you seen this? Have you heard about this?
00:49:50.280 Trump announced the release
00:49:51.560 Of UFO
00:49:53.020 Trump announced the release of UFO
00:49:57.640 Should be an interesting read
00:50:00.020 Oh yeah
00:50:00.640 Yeah I'll read about that
00:50:02.240 I'm always interested in that
00:50:03.120 Always always always interested in that
00:50:06.200 It should be good to see more of the mystery
00:50:09.340 Godfather was released today in 1972
00:50:12.320 Oh that's interesting
00:50:13.400 I really like Godfather Part 1 and Godfather Part 2
00:50:18.240 Most people do that
00:50:19.100 They're great stories
00:50:20.600 I've read the Mario Puzo original novel as well
00:50:23.780 And listened to it on audiobook as well
00:50:25.440 Great story
00:50:26.440 Brilliantly told
00:50:27.580 I recently listened to the second book
00:50:31.060 The Sicilian
00:50:31.760 Which they didn't make into a film
00:50:33.580 It's all set in Sicily
00:50:35.380 Michael Corleone is in it
00:50:37.920 But he's a minor character really
00:50:39.780 None of that ever was made into any of the films
00:50:43.120 Godfather Part 3
00:50:44.440 Terrible 0.99
00:50:45.400 Ridiculous 0.92
00:50:47.060 It was made many many years later 0.83
00:50:48.360 I don't know how
00:50:50.280 I don't know how
00:50:53.540 They managed to make such a terrible film 0.99
00:50:56.440 Godfather Part 3, ridiculous 1.00
00:50:58.900 Ridiculous film 0.98
00:51:00.780 How they got Al Pacino to act so badly
00:51:05.040 How did you do that?
00:51:07.380 And act like Al Pacino
00:51:08.240 Who's brilliant at acting undeniably
00:51:09.940 You got him to act badly in that film
00:51:13.440 And deliver all his lines really poorly
00:51:15.340 How did you do that?
00:51:16.440 Why did you do that?
00:51:21.960 Francis Ford Coppola
00:51:23.180 Went from being a great storyteller
00:51:25.040 And great director
00:51:26.280 to a terrible one.
00:51:28.500 How'd that happen? 1.00
00:51:31.640 Sophia Coppola, terrible actress. 0.99
00:51:34.160 If you've ever watched Godfather Part 1 and Part 2, 1.00
00:51:36.260 don't watch Part 3.
00:51:37.620 Just don't.
00:51:38.360 Pretend it doesn't exist.
00:51:40.880 My advice.
00:51:42.720 JC Warlock says,
00:51:43.820 Tony Blair saying that kind of sounds like what you do to a dog
00:51:48.320 when it poops on the rug.
00:51:50.700 Speaks to a lot of his diversity, lol.
00:51:54.840 Good show.
00:51:55.420 Loch Ness Castle Monster
00:51:57.200 JC Warlock says that every day now
00:51:59.960 It seems
00:52:00.520 It's funny
00:52:01.340 Tony Blair saying
00:52:03.000 Rubbing our noses in diversity
00:52:04.380 Yeah 0.99
00:52:04.720 Yeah
00:52:05.740 Like we're a naughty little puppy
00:52:07.460 That needs to be disciplined
00:52:08.820 By a short shot 0.99
00:52:11.080 Brutal shot
00:52:11.880 Yeah thanks for that tone
00:52:13.760 Thanks
00:52:15.100 What like Britain of the 1990s
00:52:18.620 Before he got into power in 1997
00:52:20.160 Well because that was so awash
00:52:22.280 With racism and bigotry
00:52:25.420 and neo-nazis that he had to do that to us did he what what
00:52:33.020 tony blair history will look back
00:52:37.660 at him i think i'm sure will point the finger at him and said you started you put in motion
00:52:45.740 a train of events that were catastrophic on a hundred different levels
00:52:51.660 tony blair arch arch traitor arch enemy of the people and the state in my opinion
00:53:00.100 all right let's do the youtube super chats harry you'll have to bring that up
00:53:05.440 oh only two
00:53:10.560 okay only two all right f google says the people who love infinity migrants
00:53:21.480 Then complain they don't like how they behave 0.96
00:53:23.480 Yeah, right, exactly
00:53:24.380 Exactly
00:53:25.380 Exactly that
00:53:28.120 Now it's a problem
00:53:31.020 Is it?
00:53:32.940 Right
00:53:33.200 Brendan Lucas says
00:53:38.380 That day in history website is so woke 1.00
00:53:42.460 It celebrates every day a Moorish soldier 0.95
00:53:45.720 Landed in Spain 1.00
00:53:46.920 Yeah
00:53:47.380 So that explains it
00:53:49.360 Mentioning it more than once a week
00:53:51.960 Right yeah
00:53:52.940 In fact I think I'll change that out
00:53:55.080 I've threatened to a couple of times now haven't I
00:53:57.700 I think I will
00:53:58.380 Perhaps even from tomorrow going forward
00:54:00.660 I'll change that
00:54:02.960 Because there's a number of websites that do exactly this
00:54:05.760 On this day in history
00:54:07.040 Thing
00:54:07.740 Yeah this website is
00:54:09.620 It's not terrible is it
00:54:10.980 It's not completely insane
00:54:12.280 Like all it mentions is
00:54:14.260 Socialist and communist victories
00:54:16.040 It's not quite like that is it
00:54:17.220 But you can feel
00:54:19.260 You can tell it's sort of woke leanings
00:54:22.060 Yeah, I'll change it
00:54:26.880 I'll change it out
00:54:27.680 Alright, a couple more have come in
00:54:30.400 LJMV says
00:54:32.520 Bo, you magnificent man
00:54:34.300 Thank you
00:54:40.340 Here's coffee money
00:54:43.200 Cheers
00:54:44.060 Thank you, really appreciate it
00:54:46.000 Some of you people
00:54:47.540 A lot of you people
00:54:48.740 Anyone watching this live in fact
00:54:50.120 Amazing folk
00:54:52.240 Absolutely amazing folk
00:54:54.560 Alright
00:54:56.880 What have we got here
00:54:57.980 And the last one
00:54:58.740 Given we're watching history being rewritten in real time
00:55:03.140 As a historian
00:55:04.560 Do you question your own understanding of history?
00:55:08.860 And that's from
00:55:09.500 Double O Stefan
00:55:11.240 I'm not 100%
00:55:15.100 sure what you're asking there let me read it again given we're watching history being rewritten in
00:55:21.380 real time as a historian i'm only an armchair historian i'm only a history fan with a mic
00:55:27.580 but as a historian do you question your own understanding of history well i'm not 100%
00:55:33.460 sure what you're getting at but i would say this yes you question your own understanding of history
00:55:38.300 Always, yes
00:55:38.960 Like the scientific method
00:55:41.320 Question everything always
00:55:42.920 That's what a good historian will do
00:55:45.860 That's the nature of historiography
00:55:47.660 Really my undergrad degree in ancient history
00:55:51.740 Like on the thing
00:55:53.740 On the actual degree certificate
00:55:55.220 It says ancient history
00:55:56.260 But what it really was
00:55:57.780 The backbone of the course
00:55:59.080 Of the courses
00:56:00.020 Was historiography
00:56:01.860 Which is looking at the nature of the study of history itself
00:56:06.480 Of course you read the history
00:56:08.480 Thucydides, Herodotus, the lives of Plutarch
00:56:11.400 Suetonius, Tacitus
00:56:12.780 You read them and have to know about them
00:56:14.860 And write essays about them
00:56:15.700 But a lot of it is looking at the nature of the study of history itself
00:56:20.640 A bit like jurisprudence is different to just studying law
00:56:24.040 You can just study what the law is and remember it
00:56:27.440 That's a bit different to jurisprudence
00:56:31.240 Which is questioning what the law is or should be
00:56:36.480 So yeah, always question your own understanding of history
00:56:40.120 Yeah, always
00:56:40.800 It's terribly wrong to think
00:56:42.960 I know exactly what happened
00:56:44.660 And that's it
00:56:45.760 Whatever new evidence arrives
00:56:48.100 Ignore that
00:56:49.540 Because I've already got it up here
00:56:50.760 And I know, we know
00:56:51.720 End of story
00:56:52.440 Yeah, no, no
00:56:53.040 Always be prepared to re-evaluate your own understanding of history
00:56:59.040 Yeah
00:56:59.380 Yeah
00:57:01.060 If that's what you're saying
00:57:02.800 Given we're watching history being rewritten in real time
00:57:07.180 Yeah, that's always the case
00:57:08.300 That's always the case
00:57:10.660 Just because we're living through slightly more tumultuous events
00:57:13.660 Than the early 2000s or the 1990s
00:57:16.400 And it's more obvious that we're living through history
00:57:19.240 We're always living through history
00:57:20.760 It's always the case
00:57:24.100 It's the way it's always been and always will be
00:57:26.000 So yeah, I'm always re-evaluating, questioning my own understanding of history
00:57:31.460 Always
00:57:32.680 the more you read you're like you must have had this anyone that's out there that what
00:57:35.800 reads reads history is interesting history you find out something new you accept it as true okay
00:57:44.200 let's give that as a given find out a new historical fact you're like oh okay well that
00:57:48.760 rewrites at least in my own head my understanding of that whole thing now right
00:57:56.040 like you didn't know if one example you didn't know thomas jefferson owned slaves
00:58:02.880 you find out he owned slaves you're like oh he was a slave owner oh okay then you find out further 0.53
00:58:08.700 down the line he actually tried to introduce and you're like oh he's a he's a bad man he had he
00:58:12.940 owned slaves and then further down the line you find out oh he actually tried to put forward
00:58:16.320 legislation loads and loads and loads of times for emancipation but couldn't get it through
00:58:20.340 Oh okay, that's a new layer of knowledge
00:58:22.960 On top of that then now
00:58:24.100 Right, so that
00:58:26.720 Rewrites my understanding
00:58:29.420 Of who Thomas Jefferson was
00:58:31.020 Just one example
00:58:31.660 He was an arch-goody
00:58:33.800 He's a founding father 0.99
00:58:36.100 Oh no, he's a terrible evil slave owner
00:58:37.800 Oh no, he tried to emancipate slaves all the time
00:58:39.780 Oh when he died, he didn't emancipate all of them though
00:58:42.160 Of his personal ones that he owned
00:58:43.500 Yeah, constantly
00:58:45.920 Constantly
00:58:47.300 Re-evaluate your own understanding of history
00:58:50.060 You must
00:58:50.760 There's no other way
00:58:51.740 Unless you just
00:58:53.180 Because if you don't
00:58:54.840 You then just become
00:58:57.060 Well it's not really
00:59:01.200 Healthy is it
00:59:02.980 For you or anyone else
00:59:04.060 You just become stagnant in your views
00:59:06.140 You can quite often be proven wrong at some point
00:59:08.840 Like you insist something or other
00:59:11.080 Isn't a historical fact
00:59:12.760 And it's shown that it is 1.00
00:59:15.220 Well you just then look like a moron don't you 1.00
00:59:17.400 So 1.00
00:59:17.640 It's a good question though
00:59:19.880 I mean, it's a good question
00:59:20.740 The nature
00:59:22.620 Same with science
00:59:23.780 People think, oh, science is like a religion
00:59:26.320 You blindly accept what science tells you
00:59:29.920 No, not at all
00:59:30.700 No, no
00:59:32.080 That's at odds with the scientific method itself
00:59:35.940 They're constantly questioning any and all hypotheses and conclusions
00:59:40.140 Constantly
00:59:41.220 If they're shown to be incorrect, then you move on
00:59:44.480 You accept them and move on
00:59:46.000 Alright, same with the study of history
00:59:49.600 All right
00:59:52.200 And one more
00:59:52.860 Has just ticked in
00:59:53.660 From Christian
