00:00:26.240 past eight in the a.m. British summertime on Thursday the 7th of May in the year of
00:00:31.560 our Lord 2026 it's election day thanks for joining me you're the glorious band
00:00:37.600 the chosen few my band of brothers and sisters you don't need to be told who
00:00:40.760 you are as always I'm joined by my producer little Harry how are you this
00:00:43.860 morning good sir morning yeah we're good the disembodied voice of little Harry
00:00:48.700 coming out of the heavens um okay so yeah it's election day
00:00:56.240 something a tiny bit different than today uh because if you were so inclined if you went on
00:01:03.480 the bbc website or a fair few different websites like sky news that show the front pages
00:01:08.000 you will find i don't really have them in fact here's the here's the web page
00:01:13.680 then web page we use nearly every morning and uh it's just got a picture of that virus boat
00:01:20.360 remember me telling yesterday about that cruise boat where three people have died
00:01:24.280 With like some rat virus thing
00:01:27.740 It's just got a picture of that
00:01:30.320 It tells you
00:01:31.100 Cruise ship rat virus 1.00
00:01:34.020 And deal or will bomb you to hell 1.00
00:01:36.300 Says the Donald 0.99
00:01:37.000 And beyond that, nothing
00:01:38.840 Because
00:01:40.900 In Britain
00:01:43.320 We've got Ofcom, haven't we?
00:01:45.240 I believe it will all be because of Ofcom
00:01:46.740 Maybe even laws beyond Ofcom about it
00:01:49.020 But on the actual day of election
00:01:51.120 The BBC at least
00:01:52.780 Can't show
00:01:56.240 Partisan political support
00:01:58.360 It's lip service isn't it
00:02:00.100 The rest of the time they're entirely partisan
00:02:02.220 Pretending that they're not
00:02:03.760 Of course they are
00:02:05.120 They'll have on actual communists
00:02:07.860 But not have someone like
00:02:09.160 Tommy Robinson or Carl Benjamin or anything
00:02:11.500 Massively, massively left leaning
00:02:14.120 Just pretending to be impartial when they're absolutely not
00:02:16.380 However, on election day
00:02:17.960 If the front pages of the newspaper
00:02:20.180 Says something just explicitly
00:02:21.620 party political you know like vote lib dem today guys they can't show it or don't show it
00:02:29.640 so all right with that being said i bought a whole bunch of papers this morning
00:02:37.000 that physically bought them with real money
00:02:40.680 so we go through that way because lotus teachers.com we're just on the internet right
00:02:46.620 so we can talk about it no blue-haired karen psycho ofcom can tell me not to show you what 1.00
00:02:54.640 the front pages say for now unless the goddamn commie government gets its way and completely 0.86
00:03:05.380 regulates the internet all right should we just have a look then some of them are sort of political
00:03:13.820 Many of them, but not all of them
00:03:15.520 Shall we start then? The Times
00:03:17.660 Shall we go to the other
00:03:19.300 There we go, look
00:03:19.800 We've got the other cameras set up for you and everything
00:03:21.740 How about that?
00:03:24.480 No expense spared
00:03:25.680 At the Lotus Eaters
00:03:27.080 Right, The Times, The Venerable Times
00:03:28.200 There's a picture of Catherine Middleton
00:03:30.600 The Princess of Wales
00:03:32.560 Looking radiant as always
00:03:33.840 And the Donald says 1.00
00:03:36.080 Deal or we'll bomb you to hell 0.99
00:03:38.280 Again, he said that again 0.99
00:03:41.200 Apparently there might be a deal in the offing
00:03:45.320 David Attenborough has reached 100
00:03:49.620 Still going at 100
00:03:52.020 PM seeks to stamp his authority by backing closer ties with EU
00:03:57.320 Some people on the left of his party want that
00:04:03.520 Not really anyone else
00:04:06.480 the majority of the country if brexit is to go anything to go by i don't want that
00:04:13.200 there you go that's what he's doing it also says polanski faces fresh scrutiny over tax after
00:04:20.080 laundry claim
00:04:21.280 they're going for a lot a lot of the papers in the news organs today are gunning for the greens
00:04:29.120 i mean trying to criticize them taken down by that um loads of different things about
00:04:35.040 Zach Polanski today um um one of the things I think that's I don't know about the laundry claim
00:04:41.780 but the tax thing apparently he's lived on a boat some sort of canal boat long boat thing or some of
00:04:49.540 the time he does which means you don't have to pay much council tax or any council tax if it's
00:04:55.560 not your permanent residence you do but if you live on it sometimes you don't something like
00:04:59.200 that I don't even know all the details I've never lived on a boat or a long boat I've got no intention
00:05:02.540 for ever doing so so i don't know the rules about that but some are saying i don't even know if
00:05:06.660 it's true but some are saying he's got dodgy council tax questions to answer but not paying 0.99
00:05:13.620 it classic i mean he's a scumbag isn't he he's a scumbag who doesn't say anything that he thinks 0.99
00:05:18.320 in his interest at any given moment so that's exactly sort of behavior i would expect to be 1.00
00:05:23.160 perfectly honest just a total scumbag at every possible turn all right the eye paper next one 0.66
00:05:32.080 up I decided would be the iPaper, Starmer set to signal that UK is on path to a softer 0.97
00:05:38.580 Brexit. Brilliant. Nobody wants that other than a few socialists in Labour. The front
00:05:50.180 of it says, cabinet discussions now underway about a closer future relationship with the
00:05:55.480 EU, the iPaper understands. Keir Starmer is poised to make a major speech on the EU within
00:06:01.380 weeks he might not be at pm within weeks okay this is like it might be might be the last gasp 0.93
00:06:07.640 of his time in power and this is what he's doing with it what a filthy wretch okay make a big eu
00:06:18.520 speech within weeks and expected to explain the compromises britain would need to make in order
00:06:23.580 to deepen access to the single market we don't need to compromise with them we don't need to
00:06:29.460 That's what it's all about
00:06:30.400 That's what the whole thing is about
00:06:31.880 That we were done compromising
00:06:34.080 We were done just endlessly bending over
00:06:35.860 Doing as we're told by people we don't get to vote for
00:06:37.740 Endlessly giving them money
00:06:39.360 That we see no return for
00:06:41.100 Other than a flood of more people
00:06:44.160 What?
00:06:46.240 This man
00:06:47.080 Okay
00:06:47.660 Big, expensive, ambitious conversations
00:06:51.820 That's a quote
00:06:52.660 Big, expensive, ambitious conversations
00:06:55.560 On a new relationship
00:06:57.140 Are taking place at heart of the UK government
00:06:59.840 Reveal cabinet source
00:07:01.360 I'm just completely undermining the will of the people
00:07:03.880 At the Brexit referendum I'm talking about there
00:07:06.140 Completely
00:07:06.860 They never wanted it
00:07:08.600 The Tories never wanted it
00:07:10.500 Of course Labour
00:07:12.980 Of course
00:07:15.680 Of course
00:07:16.440 Starmer will stick to his quote
00:07:18.560 Red lines quote
00:07:19.720 Red lines that weren't in his manifesto
00:07:23.320 He never made any promises about them
00:07:25.200 on the run-up to the last general election suddenly he's got loads of red lines that are important
00:07:33.840 it's got red lines that uk will not rejoin single market or customs union
00:07:39.360 or return to free movement of people
00:07:44.320 also they're those types of headlines fair enough don't believe him anyway
00:07:48.480 i believe him anyway he'd just give everything away
00:07:50.480 i'm sure he would he wants to proactively wants to give away the chagos islands
00:07:57.020 for no apparent reason other than it undermines us
00:08:01.960 of course he'd concede almost anything to the eu i would have thought
00:08:06.900 some allies uh want to trade boost and a plan to excite labor voters right so
00:08:14.000 that is the point isn't it is to try and excite the left left-leaning labor voters
00:08:19.820 Forget about what's in the national interest
00:08:22.100 That's the other thing he kept saying
00:08:23.500 When he was in Armenia or somewhere the other day
00:08:26.940 At that EU summit
00:08:28.020 He kept saying
00:08:28.900 Without giving any real detail of what he meant
00:08:31.200 He just kept saying
00:08:32.000 It's in the national interest
00:08:33.420 To have closer ties to the EU
00:08:35.200 It's in the national interest
00:08:36.680 It's in the national interest
00:08:37.500 Just kept banging that drum
00:08:38.580 He's not saying how it is
00:08:40.160 It's obviously not, is it?
00:08:43.340 It's just to appeal to the left of Labour
00:08:45.800 Within the party and potential voters
00:08:49.340 that's gonna
00:08:51.580 even though it's at odds with what the country
00:08:54.540 wants and our interests
00:08:55.900 it's
00:08:58.660 traitors isn't it
00:08:59.460 seditious
00:09:02.580 the leader of your government
00:09:04.780 is seditious 0.99
00:09:05.960 crazy isn't it
00:09:08.100 and the final little thing
00:09:10.280 says
00:09:10.920 but business secretary Peter Kyle
00:09:13.940 tells the eye paper
00:09:15.780 quote
00:09:16.180 Brexiteers blamed every problem on the EU
00:09:19.960 We should not fall into the same trap
00:09:22.280 And think all our problems will be solved
00:09:24.440 By rejoining the EU
00:09:25.920 Fair point, right?
00:09:32.160 Most Brexiteers didn't think that
00:09:34.160 Blamed every problem on the EU 0.95
00:09:37.460 That's the other thing Ramonas always go on
00:09:42.380 They think that Brexiteers 0.99
00:09:44.120 Thought
00:09:45.500 that it was a coverall win
00:09:48.080 of course not, it's just one of the many
00:09:50.340 many problems the country faces
00:09:51.800 and that's rich isn't it
00:09:57.680 where they think
00:09:59.480 Ramoners
00:10:00.800 Remainers 1.00
00:10:02.960 that every single problem 1.00
00:10:06.000 particularly economic
00:10:06.840 that has happened since then
00:10:08.900 is all because of Brexit
00:10:10.740 of course it's not, our economic problems would be much
00:10:13.400 much worse I would have thought
00:10:15.500 all right the express it's a good paper you can read your express now feel free to read your
00:10:22.860 express now taxi for starma time surely actually put a comma in it there
00:10:28.960 don't usually bother with that do they taxi for starma time surely olukemi badenok the nigerian
00:10:39.040 woman that is somehow able to laugh 0.97
00:10:41.060 as the leader of the opposition 0.95
00:10:42.280 has been saying
00:10:44.480 has been attacking the PM for
00:10:46.900 hiding, quote, hiding
00:10:48.120 ahead of the local elections, going
00:10:50.860 quote, backwards on Brexit, quote
00:10:52.980 and she fully commits the Tories
00:10:55.120 to pensions triple lock, brilliant
00:10:57.000 brilliant 1.00
00:10:59.500 You're going to keep gloating about all the foreign
00:11:04.960 students you've got into this country, Kemi?
00:11:07.060 Oh, you've given up on that one
00:11:09.040 Yeah, you're not doing that anymore.
00:11:12.940 Olukemi Badenoch.
00:11:15.280 Obvious example of a cuckoo in the nest. 0.99
00:11:19.560 Go back to the land of your ancestors and be a politician in Nigeria. 1.00
00:11:24.480 Disgusting. 1.00
00:11:25.440 What a crazy thing that the Tories. 0.99
00:11:28.340 Not that I'm a fan of Robert Jenrick,
00:11:29.680 but they basically had a choice between Robert Jenrick and Olukemi Badenoch,
00:11:33.760 and they went for her.
00:11:34.500 That party deserves to be put in the dustbin of history 1.00

00:11:49.440 Remember the other day
00:11:50.760 I talk about quite often they put some sort of headline
00:11:52.920 Some sort of thing that's just anti-family
00:11:55.060 Anti-relationship
00:11:56.300 Anti-children
00:11:56.980 What's that one 1.00

00:14:23.080 a reputation over the years of being not exactly lefty, they would vacillate between being
00:14:30.960 sort of, well, the people that own them, tell them what their political views are going
00:14:36.500 to be, vacillate between being sort of pro-Blair, pro-Conservative in the 80s, pro-Conservative

00:15:22.660 Did we ask for your view?
00:15:25.160 No, just report the news
00:15:26.300 So this is just the view of the people
00:15:29.240 That write and edit the Mirror
00:15:30.820 They've decided they're the arbiters
00:15:33.220 Of what's right

00:16:40.820 let's close them down everyone in that building now hasn't got a job closing the building 0.86
00:16:48.920 yes you're seditious filth yeah so
00:16:54.420 all right the star we're getting to the bottom of the barrel now the star 0.96
00:17:01.320 right there's kate middleton looking uh radiant they go with that ship again rat bug victims in
00:17:09.420 uk all right just filth just gross oh one last one i've got the swindon advertiser
00:17:17.740 oh no sorry this show is about actual news and journalism so no point talking about that
00:17:25.020 all right should we check in on the oil price we do that don't we on the bow show every morning
00:17:30.460 breakfast with bow the oil price it's down there we go west texas 95 bucks a barrel
00:17:39.420 Brent, a shade over a hundred bucks a barrel, there you go, it's down a bit
00:17:50.920 still not astronomically higher than before the war with Iran started but not
00:17:54.900 cheap, pretty volatile though, you know look at that, pretty volatile over the last month
00:18:04.980 that's a volatile graph there last three months the last three months that is
00:18:10.740 that just speaks of volatility doesn't it all right so the price is down a bit why might that
00:18:16.960 be well trump's talking about making a deal actually go to the u.s ones real quick because
00:18:24.800 they've probably got so trump just keeps saying at the moment over the last 24 or 36 hours just
00:18:32.920 keep saying and iran is sort of agreeing with it we're close to making a deal we're close to making
00:18:37.080 a deal they keep talking about this one page memorandum that's the turn of phrase that keeps
00:18:42.040 getting bandied around there's a one page memorandum which could end the war just end it
00:18:52.360 that was why he put project freedom on pause remember project freedom remember that like one
00:18:59.960 day ago, two days ago. Do you remember back to the heady days of Project Freedom when
00:19:07.280 he was going to escort the thousands of ships that are trapped in the Persian Gulf? But
00:19:13.180 he put that on pause because he was close to making a deal. Well, over the last 24 hours
00:19:20.020 there's been a, well that is volatile as well isn't it? At one point Trump on TruthSocial
00:19:24.440 was like, we're really close to making a deal and then he's saying, oh maybe not, we've
00:19:29.260 to the last minute before and iran have sort of reneged or backed away so i'm not counting my
00:19:35.020 chickens till they hatched and then but the markets both sort of equities markets particularly
00:19:40.380 in asia and things as well as the price of crude um have decided it's sort of good news on some
00:19:47.180 level good news everybody because the price of oil has gone down a bit the price of equities
00:19:58.540 it's gone up a bit you know those traders is their job it's literally their job moment to
00:20:05.260 moment to sort of manage risk it's the ultimate job of a trader really is that they've decided
00:20:12.140 it seems broadly that it's good news that there may well be a deal struck at some point
00:20:21.020 okay and there you go there hasn't yet it hasn't yet i mean i still see how it's difficult to see
00:20:27.420 how they could because the sticking point is probably the biggest stick but the main sticking
00:20:32.380 point isn't it is about whether iran will truly abandon its ambitions to enrich uranium for itself
00:20:44.860 in fact was that not what our poll was do we have we had a poll this morning didn't we has
00:20:47.740 hair we got one yeah cool all right what did we put we did yeah can iran abandon its nuclear
00:20:58.120 ambitions i deliberately asked for that not will it can it we didn't give you a maybe we gave you
00:21:05.080 a binary yes or no can iran abandon its nuclear ambitions and the no's have it yeah i suspect no
00:21:13.160 I would click no if I took that
00:21:15.560 61% of you say no
00:21:17.660 39% say yes
00:21:21.040 I mean they might do
00:21:23.340 They might do, mightn't they?
00:21:25.400 I don't know
00:21:25.840 I suspect not
00:21:28.140 I would have clicked no on that
00:21:29.260 Yeah, it's not will they, can they
00:21:32.320 Are they not just committed politically
00:21:34.340 Ideologically, politically, ideologically
00:21:38.200 Not religiously, ideologically
00:21:39.320 Can they?
00:21:40.320 Are they not just
00:21:41.120 they just not sort of locked in on that it's that or nothing
00:21:44.640 give us a domestic uranium enrichment project or give us death say the iranian regime
00:21:53.380 so far unless when we see this one-page memorandum this is something different on
00:22:05.700 that one-page memorandum so far they've shown no signs of saying that it's what is always comes
00:22:10.280 back to the sticking point America tried to give them a number of ways to abandon it and every
00:22:17.920 time they're like no yes to everything almost within reason or yes to a lot of stuff but on
00:22:22.980 that no maybe they'll change their mind finally I don't you know I feel it's unlikely they would
00:22:33.920 rather rule over a country of rubble with no economy people starving to death and stuff
00:22:43.600 then and no ability to actually enrich the uranium because that gets blown up
00:22:50.640 but they're still in theory on paper got you know retained the right to do it
00:22:56.720 Is that worth it
00:23:01.140 Is that worth it
00:23:03.440 Okay
00:23:04.260 Alright
00:23:05.420 So then those have it
00:23:07.120 There you go
00:23:09.080 Alright back to the news
00:23:11.960 What else have we got
00:23:14.740 This morning
00:23:16.340 There's a few stories I thought were of interest
00:23:18.300 Oh look here's one at the BBC
00:23:20.280 Serving Met Officer
00:23:21.760 And four ex-officers
00:23:23.800 Investigated for handling
00:23:25.320 Of Al-Fayed allegations
00:23:27.480 Harry
00:23:29.480 Do you know Mohammed Al-Fayed
00:23:31.140 Have you ever heard of him
00:23:32.100 Do you know who he is
00:23:33.040 I don't know 1.00
00:23:34.060 Okay so I'll explain it for the Zoomers 1.00
00:23:36.380 Or foreign people 1.00
00:23:37.660 This is an Egyptian sex criminal 1.00
00:23:40.400 He's dead now 1.00
00:23:41.860 He died of natural causes
00:23:43.360 In like 2023 or something
00:23:44.920 He's very very very rich
00:23:47.020 Don't ask how he made his fortune
00:23:48.900 And he used to own Harrods
00:23:55.320 Very, very rich. His name's Mohammed. Was Mohammed. 0.84
00:24:00.820 Mohammed Al-Fayed. Friends with all sorts of politicians and rich people and stuff while he lived.
00:24:05.880 He was just like a name of one of the super rich people in London.
00:24:11.240 His son. He had a son called Dodi.
00:24:15.260 Dodi Al-Fayed.
00:24:16.140 who was in some sort of relationship with princess diana when they were both killed in a car crash
00:24:25.120 in paris that time that was that was his son don't if i had anyway muhammad al-fayed harazona
00:24:32.780 ex-harazona turns out a bit like jimmy savile the moment he died loads of allegations even
00:24:41.040 though everyone sort of there was rumors there was rumblings oh yeah there was rumblings for years
00:24:44.740 But he never got investigated or charged with anything
00:24:47.980 As soon as he died
00:24:49.420 Suddenly the world seemed to wake up
00:24:52.300 And realise he was like a serial 0.99
00:24:54.240 Sex criminal 0.98
00:24:55.100 At least 21 women 1.00
00:25:00.340 Came forward and said yeah 1.00
00:25:01.580 Sex assaults and full rapes
00:25:04.180 And everything over years and years and years 1.00
00:25:05.480 You'd get pretty young women to work for Harrods 0.94
00:25:10.140 And then he'd just groom them and or sexually assault them 0.95
00:25:12.360 Or whatever 1.00
00:25:12.660 Loads 0.92
00:25:13.980 21 and you know that that's only the 21 bravest of those women there would have been many many 0.59
00:25:22.720 more of course so there you go and now now they're saying that and it's sort of definitely the case
00:25:28.940 it seems to be it's not just sort of rumor he definitely sort of definitely was now even some
00:25:34.840 police officers are in trouble historically for handling it i.e you know read between the lines
00:25:41.780 Basically
00:25:42.340 They knew
00:25:44.000 Everyone knew
00:25:44.640 But he was a super rich
00:25:46.040 Super rich dude
00:25:48.520 Who just
00:25:49.340 The police
00:25:50.160 I'm just like
00:25:51.760 No
00:25:52.040 We're just not gonna
00:25:52.680 No he's rich
00:25:55.080 So he can get away with it
00:25:56.160 Effectively
00:25:56.920 Something like that
00:25:57.780 He's powerful
00:25:59.040 He's powerful and rich
00:26:00.860 So 0.85
00:26:01.200 It's disgusting isn't it 0.96
00:26:07.760 Mohammed Al-Fayed 1.00
00:26:10.280 total total wrong and all right 1.00
00:26:15.640 that everyone knew as well like jimmy savile sort of people knew
00:26:22.360 here's a little story i thought was quite interesting if you've ever looked at a map
00:26:26.760 korea north and south korea north korea has got a big border with china hasn't it but it's also
00:26:32.840 got a tiny little border with russia it's a little bit of russia that comes around in an arc
00:26:39.240 and sort of claw around and just a tiny bit of it just touches north korea
00:26:46.120 on the map but they build a bridge they built a bridge key bridge linking north korea and russia
00:26:50.360 almost finished satellite images show bbc verifier the ultimate arbiter of truth tells us there you
00:26:57.480 go i just thought it was quite reasonably interesting i didn't even know they were building a bridge
00:27:02.840 there because again if anyone doesn't know north korea is famously sort of some sort of isolationist
00:27:10.200 hermit nearly said kingdom then that's not kingdom is it sort of a isolationist hermit communist state
00:27:23.080 all the wranglings over the decades of any sort of to and fro with the south koreans
00:27:28.520 you know at various points when it thaws out north korea will actually let south korean
00:27:35.360 businesses and people go just just across the border a performative thing and then things get
00:27:44.040 hotter or colder rather in their cold war and the north koreans say no no that one factory we allowed
00:27:50.880 you to build half a mile across the border even that's too much go back stop stop stop and that 0.93
00:27:55.960 vacillates and as for stuff with china well if you're north korean and you try and flee into 0.83
00:28:01.120 china and you get caught that's an executionable offense or at least hard labor for a long long 0.96
00:28:09.940 time north koreans are basically prisoners in their own country anyway so the idea that they're
00:28:18.960 building a bridge or have in fact have built a bridge to russia is interesting in all sorts of
00:28:24.620 ways you know least of all how is that really in russia's interest particularly anyway maybe a
00:28:32.140 slight sign that north korea is opening up a little bit even if it's only one bridge
00:28:38.200 i don't know i don't know no one really knows really what goes on in the mind of that 0.97
00:28:46.080 that big fat psycho communist dude who runs their country
00:28:49.960 all right i just thought it was a mildly interesting story 0.99
00:28:54.480 all right what else have we got on the itv news there was one oh look cnn founder ted turner has
00:29:02.280 died at age 87 well i was always told if you can't say anything nice nice don't say anything at all
00:29:11.240 so next here's a funny story i don't believe that by the way i'm very rude and um
00:29:19.460 Dismissive to people, aren't I?
00:29:21.520 All the time
00:29:22.020 Yeah, the axiom
00:29:24.460 If you can't say anything nice
00:29:25.560 Don't say anything at all
00:29:26.340 Yeah, I don't live by that 0.99
00:29:27.540 Ted Turner was a complete douchebag 0.97
00:29:30.700 Alright 0.99
00:29:32.280 Here's an interesting story
00:29:34.580 I thought it was a very interesting story
00:29:35.780 On Sky News this morning
00:29:36.940 Very, very interesting story
00:29:39.380 It's all about
00:29:40.180 Oil
00:29:42.280 Oil makes the world go round, doesn't it?
00:29:45.900 The headline is
00:29:46.420 An extraordinary watershed moment
00:29:48.700 Passed below the radar
00:29:50.140 And helped make Trump's war possible
00:29:52.540 An energy boom is helping to power
00:29:55.980 American aggression in Iran 0.94
00:29:57.680 But those hoping the US would come to the rescue
00:30:00.420 As Europe and Asia face an energy shock
00:30:02.600 Might find themselves seriously disappointed
00:30:05.420 Anyway, it's quite a long article
00:30:07.600 And I read it this morning
00:30:09.160 I thought it was very, very interesting
00:30:11.460 Made a number of interesting points
00:30:13.460 And a couple of things I hadn't thought of before
00:30:15.320 I hadn't heard of before
00:30:18.700 The broadest points I was aware of, but a few of the details I hadn't.
00:30:25.560 So anyway, it's basically largely about fracking,
00:30:30.780 hydraulic fracturing, you know, fracking.
00:30:34.660 And it starts with saying, look, what's this?
00:30:36.820 This is a bit of Texas. This is in West Texas.
00:30:39.020 What is that?
00:30:40.000 Harry, you might want to put the image up.
00:30:41.900 There you go.
00:30:43.360 What's that?
00:30:43.880 That's an aerial view of a little bit of West Texas.
00:30:46.520 and into like new mexico as well a giant area giant giant area what's all that going on
00:30:52.160 oh it's drilling and fracking
00:30:56.840 to a massive extent look there's a bit of a more close-up for you where you can see look there's
00:31:04.320 little it's like the pump jacks they call them don't they all over the place stretching into
00:31:08.960 the horizon hundreds and hundreds kilometers in every direction
00:31:11.940 you get natural gas and crude oil that way it's not the same as
00:31:19.040 it's not the same it really isn't the same as sort of normal crude oil extraction now like some
00:31:25.980 places in the world it's just crude oil is just literally bubbling out of the ground that's what
00:31:30.220 they say about baku or used to be the case baku in azerbaijan it's just bubbling out of the ground
00:31:35.780 you know some places in kuwait and saudi various places around the world actually
00:31:41.200 some places in canada crude oil is just almost bubbling out of the ground if it's not that it's
00:31:45.800 really close to the surface sometimes you have to drill deep but there's just there's just a
00:31:52.140 reservoir of crude oil all you need do is pump it out well that's that's not what fracking is
00:31:58.060 fracking something entirely entirely different isn't it you have to like use drills all over
00:32:03.260 the place and you have to pump water in and get shale and there's a whole process before you get
00:32:08.360 the natural gas and the crude and all that sort of stuff however which makes it more expensive but
00:32:12.880 if you had an area of land that geologically
00:32:19.000 is good for fracking which west texas is and parts of new mexico and
00:32:27.140 And you decided to invest
00:32:29.860 A crazy amount of money
00:32:31.680 In getting it out
00:32:32.700 Like the United States has
00:32:36.260 For the last decade or more
00:32:38.200 Then suddenly
00:32:41.400 Kind of suddenly
00:32:42.340 It's not exactly suddenly is it
00:32:43.540 Then
00:32:44.520 You've got more oil and gas
00:32:47.640 Than you know what to do with
00:32:48.440 Quite literally more
00:32:49.420 Than they know what to do with
00:32:51.660 And the natural gas element of it
00:32:57.140 A lot of it, this article was saying
00:32:59.980 A lot of it, they're just burning off into the air
00:33:01.960 Because they can't get rid of it fast enough
00:33:04.280 Not funny really, but
00:33:07.700 Yeah, so
00:33:10.800 All sorts of points of note in this article
00:33:14.720 I thought were interesting
00:33:15.740 Look, that
00:33:16.700 Just hundreds and hundreds of square miles
00:33:19.360 One of those every
00:33:21.080 A few hundred yards or whatever
00:33:22.960 And that ever since the oil crisis of the 70s
00:33:27.440 I think I mentioned the oil crisis of the 70s
00:33:29.500 In the Nixon years, didn't I, the other day?
00:33:31.380 I mentioned it in passing anyway
00:33:32.520 Where OPEC would just sort of decide
00:33:36.020 They're going to reduce production
00:33:39.520 Just to screw, just play power games 0.94
00:33:43.580 Just to screw with people, particularly the West
00:33:45.380 Particularly the United States 0.83
00:33:46.800 Ever since then, ever since the 1970s
00:33:50.400 It's sort of a fairly grand strategic
00:33:53.060 Aim of the United States
00:33:56.780 To never let itself be in that situation again
00:33:59.160 Where OPEC, Saudi Arabia
00:34:02.440 Can just hold them ransom
00:34:04.860 In a sense
00:34:06.580 But fracking
00:34:09.560 And America has got large
00:34:11.320 Massive, massive natural resources
00:34:13.620 I mean it's a continent sized country isn't it
00:34:16.080 It's going to have
00:34:16.840 And Canada has as well
00:34:18.460 canada sits on and in a crazy amount of oil anyway um through the 80s and the 90s
00:34:27.420 fracking was a thing i think like the technology the concept has been around since the 40s or 50s
00:34:34.000 it was just it was just difficult technically physically difficult logistically it was just
00:34:40.900 too expensive basically the economy of it just didn't add up you could you could sort of do it
00:34:46.400 but it was basic and it just it was way more expensive than than made it worthwhile but then
00:34:51.920 in the early 2000s there were various breakthroughs various things least of all like drill bits
00:34:58.560 the actual drill that drills into the ground and the ability to like drill at angles and
00:35:04.000 horizontally you know things like that i won't bore you with the details but the point is it
00:35:08.400 became economically viable if you did it on a large rough scale anyway and so the united states did
00:35:15.840 Drill baby, drill
00:35:17.160 Particularly under the first
00:35:19.640 I think it was ramped up, I think it was dialled up massively
00:35:22.200 Under the first Trump administration
00:35:23.600 And now, you know, like a decade later
00:35:26.820 Now, America produces more gas and oil than Saudi
00:35:34.200 More than its own domestic needs
00:35:36.880 It's a net exporter
00:35:38.380 Yeah, there's this place in West Texas
00:35:42.000 They call it the Permian Basin
00:35:43.620 that's interesting like there's like the slightly interesting the permian period of
00:35:50.060 ancient history like truly prehistoric history the permian period was like pre-dinosaurs
00:35:56.180 right like you've got the the permian triassic mass extinction event i wonder if it's named
00:36:05.520 after that it must be mustn't it anyway the permian basin in west texas just a giant area
00:36:11.100 as well in like european terms what we're used to a giant giant area
00:36:17.260 and they have drilled baby drill they have done it
00:36:23.980 and anyway the other thing this article goes on to say is that
00:36:29.820 loads of the world's oil and shipping companies loads of them are
00:36:37.180 sending their ships the ones that aren't trapped in the persian gulf
00:36:41.100 Sending them to the Gulf of Mexico
00:36:42.820 Because most of this
00:36:43.680 Most of all the gas and oil that comes from
00:36:47.140 The Permian Basin
00:36:48.880 Finds its way out into the Persian Gulf
00:36:52.880 Into like Houston
00:36:53.880 Or Corpus Christi in Houston
00:36:56.920 Not into the water
00:36:59.220 Onto ships hopefully
00:37:02.100 So loads of the ships that would
00:37:03.680 In the before times
00:37:06.140 Before this war with Iran started
00:37:08.720 Would have been heading to the Strait of Hormuz
00:37:10.680 and the persian gulf they're all just going to the gulf of mexico now apparently according to
00:37:15.960 this article just a giant armada from all places in the world just going there oh we can't get oil
00:37:25.080 from the gulf where can we get it from not venezuela right
00:37:33.160 but the united states want to sell it to us want to and we need to buy it so all the ships go to
00:37:39.480 the gulf of mexico now go to corpus christi in houston pick it up
00:37:47.880 interesting is it but and one final element that this article is talking about i found
00:37:51.720 that was interesting was it was saying that it might not necessarily be just as simple as
00:37:57.000 all that and as easy as all that um that the united states or the powers that be in west texas
00:38:05.320 for various reasons
00:38:08.940 might not want to dial up production
00:38:12.440 all the countries
00:38:14.420 that want to buy
00:38:16.280 a shed load of oil
00:38:18.460 from Houston
00:38:20.400 they want more than 0.61
00:38:24.500 the Americans are currently producing
00:38:27.060 even more than that
00:38:27.960 sort of an insatiable demand for it
00:38:30.300 so the Americans could just dial up their production
00:38:33.500 But for various reasons I won't bore you with
00:38:35.740 They don't really want to do that
00:38:37.100 So it might still
00:38:39.720 Might still be
00:38:41.200 Despite everything
00:38:42.160 There will be some sorts of shortages
00:38:46.400 It might not
00:38:49.580 Anyway I thought that was
00:38:51.900 Because I'm interested in oil
00:38:53.140 The world of oil and energy
00:38:56.880 It's quite literally what makes the world go round
00:38:59.260 Isn't it these days
00:38:59.920 I thought that was interesting
00:39:01.980 I thought I'd bring that to you
00:39:03.860 Alright it's already 22
00:39:05.460 What else have we got
00:39:06.880 Oh here's a story
00:39:08.620 The mail particularly dunking 0.73
00:39:11.360 Trying to dunk on the Greens 0.58
00:39:13.200 Massively today

00:39:17.020 Polanski says Palestine on the ballot 0.83
00:39:19.960 As he returns to sectarian tactics
00:39:22.200 In desperate bid to win over voters 0.88
00:39:24.060 Think things are bad now
00:39:27.620 Vote Green if you want to make it worse
00:39:29.400 Still thinking of voting Green
00:39:31.540 For the Green Party today 0.97
00:39:33.920 Here is a list of their daft and dangerous policies 0.97
00:39:36.600 So I'm not a fan of the Greens 0.87
00:39:38.840 However, they lead with this story 1.00
00:39:41.000 Which is so retarded that it's funny to me 1.00
00:39:45.440 This idiot woman here called Rosie something or other 1.00
00:39:51.680 Wrote this article 1.00
00:39:53.240 And it's
00:39:54.920 Roll your eyes all you like
00:39:56.740 But we're young, ambitious and proud
00:39:59.000 To be voting Green today

00:40:01.600 Are you
00:40:03.120 Young and voting green 0.99
00:40:07.260 And it's a piece all about how women
00:40:10.340 Young women
00:40:11.000 Are going to vote green 1.00
00:40:13.240 Regardless of like reality
00:40:14.620 Look at the state of it
00:40:21.500 Do you have a quick read
00:40:22.600 It's so mad
00:40:24.360 That it's funny to me
00:40:26.200 Rosie Beveridge
00:40:30.300 who's like 25
00:40:31.760 says
00:41:00.300 political divide or rather chasm that that splits down both generational and gender lines
00:41:06.860 anyway the article goes on to say that it's about hope it's about a fairer society voting for the
00:41:16.060 greens is about it's just it's just about hope and you know a reduction in misogyny
00:41:22.100 and having a fairer society.
00:41:26.020 Not really much about environmentalism.
00:41:29.220 Nothing at all about the dangers of open borders.
00:41:34.620 I mean, it's mad.
00:41:35.280 She moans about how there's no prospects for her, 0.97
00:41:39.720 a young woman, not enough jobs. 1.00
00:41:40.900 It doesn't address... 0.81
00:41:45.540 The Greens' policies are to flood us with more and more people,
00:41:49.080 making the job market much, much more difficult.
00:41:52.100 don't say anything about the tsunami of sex crimes and rapes at the hands of foreign invaders not
00:41:57.300 a word about that not a word about islam not a single word actually i only scanned the last
00:42:03.940 third of it she might have done there but i doubt it i doubt it all right look at this look at these 0.99
00:42:09.780 idiot children think they know what they're talking about look at the state of that this 1.00
00:42:16.180 This is an 18-year-old. 1.00
00:42:18.560 Who thinks she knows about the world and what's going on.
00:42:22.000 What's her name?
00:42:22.440 Was it Cicely? 0.67
00:42:23.860 Cicely.

00:42:41.960 She thinks the Greens
00:42:45.460 Will bring in a more hopeful society 0.96
00:42:49.020 Madness isn't it

00:42:55.840 Look at trying to be a girl boss 1.00
00:42:57.960 Look at the stance 1.00

00:43:37.780 It always gives it away
00:43:38.520 Doesn't it
00:43:38.720 The mad

00:43:41.220 You can
00:43:43.500 You can almost sort of
00:43:44.620 See the
00:43:45.560 Insanity
00:43:46.560 Yeah
00:43:50.080 I mean
00:43:50.580 Look
00:43:50.860 She says
00:43:51.360 For all the young women
00:43:54.620 I spoke to
00:43:55.340 Immigration was not a concern
00:43:56.860 Oh 0.70
00:43:57.340 Alright
00:43:58.780 That's it
00:43:59.380 That's it as well
00:43:59.900 Just that
00:44:00.360 Immigration is not a concern
00:44:02.200 Huh
00:44:04.740 Okay
00:44:06.540 Of course it is the number one thing
00:44:10.000 That changes
00:44:10.800 The very destiny of a nation
00:44:13.980 It's the number one thing really
00:44:17.580 From which nearly all other policy
00:44:19.280 Is downstream from
00:44:21.080 Everything from the NHS to housing to schools
00:44:25.360 The economy
00:44:26.360 But no, immigration is not a concern
00:44:28.320 That's it
00:44:28.740 That's it 0.97
00:44:31.080 She's worried much more about misogyny 0.69
00:44:33.860 And that the Greens will tackle that 0.97
00:44:36.540 No, they're importing misogynists 0.85
00:44:39.020 They would have open borders 0.92
00:44:41.740 Increasing misogyny
00:44:44.600 Increasing
00:44:45.720 Making it less safe for women 0.99
00:44:48.400 How do you not get it? 1.00
00:44:51.880 How do you not understand, Rosie?
00:44:55.340 What kind of mania are you suffering from?
00:44:59.440 At one point she says, call me naive
00:45:01.060 No, I will, yeah, I will call you naive 0.85
00:45:02.380 Catastrophically naive 1.00
00:45:04.100 Suicidally naive 1.00
00:45:05.820 You don't understand what's going on
00:45:09.600 Clearly, obviously you don't
00:45:11.400 What you're dealing with
00:45:13.340 With Zach Polanski and the Green Party
00:45:14.900 You're failing to understand 0.86
00:45:17.160 But look, she's got her hands on her hips there 1.00
00:45:23.160 She's serious 0.71
00:45:23.840 She's a serious person
00:45:25.340 Who writes for the mail 0.90
00:45:26.580 Turkey's voting for Christmas
00:45:32.360 Insane
00:45:34.720 all right let's see what else have we got the express something about zach palanski is
00:45:41.140 humiliated as fresh fresh questions over mystery living arrangements emerge
00:45:46.200 he had another pop at the cops as well he doubled tripled down on his criticism
00:45:52.180 of the uh gold as green cops that were trying to arrest a terrorist 0.76
00:46:00.660 He's on the side of the 0.51
00:46:03.340 Terrorist
00:46:04.500 Dave Pauldin
00:46:07.640 David Pauldin
00:46:09.080 Is on the side of the terrorists 0.62
00:46:10.660 What do you say to that Rosie
00:46:13.880 Is that a more hopeful society
00:46:16.300 Is it
00:46:17.360 Crushing blow for Polanski
00:46:26.300 As his approval ratings spiral out of control
00:46:28.780 Amid scandal
00:46:29.680 should read scandals
00:46:31.600 yeah apparently his
00:46:34.080 personal popularity
00:46:36.140 rating
00:46:37.960 has gone down massively
00:46:42.520 in the last week or two
00:46:43.380 most people don't have sympathy for terrorists
00:46:46.540 if there's a terrorist on the ground
00:46:51.760 that's still holding a knife
00:46:53.120 and refusing to let go of the knife
00:46:55.520 even if the taser is making his hand
00:46:58.080 hold on to it
00:46:58.580 Most people don't mind if the cop 0.53
00:47:00.060 Give him a little tap in the head
00:47:01.340 The vast majority of people
00:47:03.400 As well as everything else
00:47:08.940 Like he said he was a
00:47:10.400 He said he was a
00:47:12.400 Red cross spokesman he wasn't
00:47:14.940 He said he was a hypnotherapist
00:47:16.620 He wasn't
00:47:17.500 He's just a complete chancer isn't he
00:47:21.060 He didn't say anything
00:47:22.380 He didn't say anything
00:47:24.100 The sort of person that would claim to live on a canal boat
00:47:26.560 To avoid
00:47:27.180 Council tax
00:47:29.100 A revolting, a revolting person 0.96
00:47:34.820 Nigel Farage effigy 0.99
00:47:42.500 Stabbed, strangled and hanged
00:47:44.300 In sickening video, I didn't see that this morning
00:47:46.020 This is the first time I've seen that one
00:47:47.600 Okay, that's not completely unhinged
00:47:50.660 Sure
00:47:52.340 Alright, look, the sun
00:47:54.300 A lot of people, a lot of the papers
00:47:55.700 going after the greens i'm here for it corbin in disguise polanski compared to corbin as he
00:48:04.800 blast cops again over gold is green a corbin being shorthand for pro-terrorist basically
00:48:12.100 anyone or anything that was at war or at odds with britain or had their interests contrary
00:48:19.780 to british interests jeremy corbyn would be in favor for always for decades that's what corbyn
00:48:26.820 is that's who corbyn is has always been look they're saying zach polanski is just the same it's
00:48:31.780 the same and is well you've got a terrorist at large with a knife in his hand think about him
00:48:41.220 Think about his well-being.
00:48:48.100 The Green Party's not about environmentalism, is it?
00:48:52.220 It's about destroying the fabric of our society. 0.96
00:48:54.780 It's about extreme left-wing politics and Islamism. 1.00
00:49:02.520 Get a clue. 1.00
00:49:06.180 Really, get a clue.
00:49:07.460 all right well it's now about 10 2 so i should be off to great yarmouth later today
00:49:16.000 i'll be back for tomorrow morning um so i need to would like to try and round the show out before
00:49:24.580 not too much past nine so let's just have a look at on this day in history you like that segment
00:49:29.780 don't you i quite like doing that segment every day five five minutes on this day the 7th of may
00:49:34.560 down through the centuries what happened of note it's the 7th of may in the year 1429
00:49:40.560 the english siege of orleans or broke by jean d'arc and the french army or joan of arc in orleans if
00:49:47.920 you prefer harry do you reckon on my history themed show epochs bodade's epochs behind the
00:50:00.800 the paywall on lotusseaters.com consider joining for as little as five pound a month
00:50:04.620 for a season membership do you think i've got long-form content talking about the siege of
00:50:08.380 orleans and the career of joan of arc yeah yeah i have in fact it's one of the few things
00:50:14.920 henry v the age of henry v the campaigns of henry v uh pompey pompey the great
00:50:22.280 there's a couple of things i've returned to more than once and anyway henry v is one of those so
00:50:30.160 I've got a whole episode
00:50:30.940 just about Joan of Arc
00:50:32.040 but then
00:50:33.120 I've got a long
00:50:34.720 really really long series
00:50:36.480 I can't remember how long it was
00:50:37.800 12, 13, 15 part series
00:50:39.480 all about Henry V
00:50:40.240 where again
00:50:42.220 I go into
00:50:42.980 I mean Joan of Arc
00:50:43.680 is just after Henry V really
00:50:45.460 but I go into it again there
00:50:49.020 if you want
00:50:51.080 a few hours worth of me
00:50:53.100 talking about Joan of Arc
00:50:54.180 at least for the Siege of Orléans
00:50:56.020 it's there
00:50:58.520 there's it to sign it up
00:51:00.160 Fascinating character, Jane of Arc
00:51:02.460 Sort of almost unbelievable
00:51:04.080 I'm not saying it didn't happen or anything
00:51:05.880 I believe the accounts, largely
00:51:07.680 Almost unbelievable
00:51:09.940 She's sort of, to begin with 1.00
00:51:11.940 An illiterate 1.00
00:51:13.960 17 year old peasant girl 1.00
00:51:15.660 And she led men into battle 0.81
00:51:19.240 And they followed her
00:51:20.540 She would tell the King of France
00:51:23.980 Things and he would
00:51:25.160 Believe her, what sort of force of character
00:51:27.900 What sort of personality was that
00:51:30.160 Incredible. She thought she was being spoken to by angels, maybe even God. Was it St. Michael? Anyway, I believe she believed it. Was she clinically insane in some way? Don't know, who knows, no way of knowing.
00:51:47.620 Nonetheless, she personally led charges on English redoubts at Orléans, at 17, 18, little
00:51:59.500 slip of a girl, crazy, amazing, amazing, absolutely amazing person. 1.00
00:52:07.860 In the end we capture her and burn her alive. 0.97
00:52:10.160 Okay, on this day in 1867, Swedish chemist Alfred Noble patents dynamite in England for
00:52:17.220 and the first of three patents he receives for the explosive material.
00:52:22.240 Alfred Nobel there.
00:52:24.380 He was so sort of guilt-ridden by it,
00:52:25.800 because, of course, it wasn't just used for mining.
00:52:27.820 They started using it for warfare quite quickly.
00:52:30.100 He felt so bad about that that he started the Peace Prize,
00:52:33.680 the Nobel Peace Prize.
00:52:34.880 Same person, Alfred Nobel.
00:52:38.080 Before that, they had nitroglycerin, an explosive,
00:52:41.920 but that was, like, really volatile.
00:52:43.540 If you accidentally dropped it, you'd get blown up.
00:52:45.420 dynamite's much much more stable isn't it anyway alfred nobel interesting person interesting life
00:52:52.480 very very interesting on this day in 1812 columbia university approves plans to award the pulitzer
00:52:59.100 prize in several categories after establishment by joseph pulitzer yeah of course now like nearly
00:53:07.080 everything else utterly utterly woke can't dream of winning a pulitzer prize really unless you're
00:53:12.500 like they decide you're pulling pulling towing the line on sort of globalism and socialism and
00:53:20.760 stuff pull it surprise like a lot of things used to be of value used to be good used to mean
00:53:28.360 something now just a race to the bottom pull it surprise used to wear it as a badge of honor now
00:53:35.500 it's i would consider an embarrassment if anything okay on this day in 1915 the lusitania
00:53:43.980 is sunk by a german submarine off the southern coast of ireland with 1198 lives lost yeah
00:53:50.860 people talk about the titanic as for one time the all-time greatest most interesting
00:53:58.860 ship sinkings the lusitania is one of those absolutely oh and it's the story about how
00:54:03.980 A hero millionaire saves Lusitania children
00:54:06.740 Because not everyone died on it
00:54:08.860 A few hundred survived
00:54:10.040 I think there's closer to 2,000 people on board
00:54:12.400 So more than half of them did die
00:54:14.160 Really the broader story is about
00:54:16.900 Unrestricted submarine warfare by the Germans
00:54:19.240 In World War I
00:54:20.280 The Lusitania had come from
00:54:23.440 Or was it going to New York
00:54:25.100 So it involved the Americans as well
00:54:27.160 In a way
00:54:28.880 Well it did
00:54:29.880 The Americans of course didn't come into the war
00:54:33.280 World War I
00:54:33.900 for another couple of years but it turned public opinion in the united states much more anti-german
00:54:40.760 a big moment in history the lusitania look into it if you're interested on this day in 1945
00:54:47.600 the germans third reich marshal yodel alfred yodel signs documents with his monocle there
00:54:55.680 so i think i might not wear a monocle people say my eyesight's going a bit people say wear
00:55:00.360 a monocle get a monocle it's a bit yodel
00:55:04.260 okay yodel signs documents to surrender to the allies at rem in france the soviet union refuses
00:55:14.540 to recognize it though yeah because ve day is tomorrow isn't it it's the 8th of may isn't it
00:55:20.620 ve day surrendering in the west ever so slightly different to surrendering in the east was it um
00:55:29.800 Durnitz, Admiral Durnitz
00:55:33.020 had to surrender
00:55:35.000 to the Soviets
00:55:36.920 to completely end the war in Europe, right?
00:55:40.900 That's right, isn't it?
00:55:42.140 Durnitz, yeah.
00:55:44.960 Quite a funny sketch, actually.
00:55:46.980 Mitchell and Webb.
00:55:48.780 They're like
00:55:49.020 some political or military...
00:55:53.100 It's a comedy sketch.
00:55:54.620 Some military adjutants come to Durnitz
00:55:57.160 and say, Admiral, 0.97
00:55:58.700 the the Fuhrer is dead in his in his Fuhrer bunker you you are the new leader of the third 0.89
00:56:05.140 Reich and then it's like great I've got great visions for like an education program and I'm 0.95
00:56:11.060 going to build greater roads than ever before and I've got this whole program for government oh wow
00:56:15.840 like history has chosen me to be a leader of men they're like no we just need you to sign the
00:56:21.280 surrender document. We need someone to sign the surrender document. There you go. I thought
00:56:28.920 it was quite a funny sketch. Okay, on this day in 1952, the concept of the integrated
00:56:35.040 circuit, the basis for all modern computers, is first published by Jeffrey Dummer. I didn't
00:56:42.020 know. I didn't know it was as early as that, 1952. There you go, interesting. And on this
00:56:49.780 in 2017 Emmanuel Macron wins France's presidential election defeating Marine
00:56:55.780 Le Pen. Marine Le Pen went on to have a little dance on the dance floor if you
00:56:59.440 remember that. Pretending she's not absolutely gutted. Emmanuel Macron how's 1.00
00:57:03.820 that worked out for you France? Great, great. Enjoying all your Algerians are you?
