00:00:00.000 Morning

00:00:05.000 Morning

00:00:07.000 Are you alright?

00:00:09.000 Are you?

00:00:12.000 Good, good

00:00:14.000 No, good, good, good

00:00:17.000 Oh, nice cup of tea

00:00:19.000 First thing in the morning, can't beat it

00:00:21.000 Alright, it has just ticked past 8 in the a.m. at Greenwich Mean Time

00:00:24.000 On Tuesday the 10th of March in the year of our Lord, 2026

00:00:27.000 You are watching The Beau Show

00:00:31.000 It's The Beau Show

00:00:33.000 Party time, excellent

00:00:35.000 Colloquially known as

00:00:37.000 Oh no!

00:00:38.000 Formerly known as A Breakfast With Beau

00:00:40.000 Colloquially known as The Beau Show

00:00:42.000 Let's get it right

00:00:44.000 Beau's Breakfast Club, hashtag TheRealBBC

00:00:47.000 Loads Eaters Breakfast Club, hashtag TheRealLBC

00:00:52.000 You are the glorious band, the chosen few

00:00:55.000 My band of brothers and sisters

00:00:57.000 Thank you for watching

00:00:59.000 Without you it's not a thing is it really?

00:01:01.000 I'm joined by my producer Little Harry

00:01:03.000 How are you this morning, good sir?

00:01:04.000 Morning, I'm all good

00:01:06.000 Okay, good, excellent

00:01:08.000 Shall we jump straight into it then?

00:01:10.000 See what's going on

00:01:11.000 It's, as you can imagine, still

00:01:13.000 Iran, wall to wall Iran really 0.99

00:01:16.000 But a couple of other things

00:01:18.000 All the papers from the corporate mainstream media

00:01:21.000 Seem to be worrying about the economy and oil still

00:01:24.000 We'll talk all about it, we'll talk all about it

00:01:26.000 Okay, we've got

00:01:28.000 Drive less to save on fuel

00:01:30.000 It's a classic commie thing isn't it?

00:01:35.000 That they don't want you moving around

00:01:36.000 They hate people moving around

00:01:38.000 They want you to stay in your little bubble

00:01:40.000 They want to reduce driving speeds to 20 miles per hour

00:01:52.000 Even though that's fuel inefficient to drive that slowly

00:01:55.000 But ideally they wouldn't want people moving around at all

00:01:58.000 Stay in your little pod and eat the bugs

00:02:00.000 You know, that whole thing

00:02:02.000 Oh there's some sort of problem with world oil prices

00:02:07.000 So let's have more wind farms

00:02:09.000 No?

00:02:10.000 Need to tap the North Sea

00:02:11.000 Alright

00:02:12.000 Drive less to save on fuel

00:02:16.000 And war is near end

00:02:18.000 Says Trump

00:02:19.000 Okay, we'll get into all of that

00:02:21.000 Whether it really is or not

00:02:23.000 Who knows

00:02:24.000 Okay, the Daily Mail

00:02:26.000 The Mail group

00:02:27.000 Utter, utter subversive globalist slop

00:02:30.000 Trying to pretend it's not 0.96

00:02:31.000 Trump

00:02:33.000 Iran war is pretty much over

00:02:35.000 Pretty much

00:02:36.000 It's pretty much over

00:02:37.000 He needs to keep winning

00:02:39.000 He was saying

00:02:40.000 We haven't won enough

00:02:41.000 That was one of the things he said

00:02:42.000 We've won

00:02:43.000 We're winning

00:02:44.000 But we haven't won enough yet

00:02:47.000 Okay

00:02:48.000 I mean it does seem

00:02:49.000 In the battlefield sense

00:02:50.000 It's largely won isn't it?

00:02:51.000 That is a reasonably fair thing to say actually

00:02:53.000 Purely in terms of battlefield success

00:02:57.000 The Iranian Navy is almost entirely gone

00:03:00.000 50-odd ships they're claiming they've sunk now

00:03:02.000 That's the vast majority of the Iranian Navy

00:03:04.000 The Air Force

00:03:05.000 For what it was worth

00:03:06.000 Which wasn't much

00:03:07.000 Is entirely gone

00:03:08.000 Apparently most of their capacity

00:03:10.000 To launch missiles

00:03:14.000 Not drones

00:03:15.000 Missiles

00:03:16.000 Is almost entirely depleted

00:03:19.000 According to them

00:03:21.000 So it strictly in those terms

00:03:23.000 It's pretty much over

00:03:24.000 In another sense

00:03:25.000 It's only just begun

00:03:27.000 This will have repercussions for many many many years won't it?

00:03:31.000 Anyway

00:03:32.000 Alright

00:03:33.000 Trump says it's pretty much over yesterday

00:03:34.000 I did a press conference yesterday

00:03:35.000 I watched all of that

00:03:36.000 And all the questions afterwards

00:03:37.000 Okay so we can talk about what he said

00:03:40.000 The mail here talking about

00:03:42.000 After an hour long call with Putin

00:03:45.000 President Trump

00:03:46.000 Insists the US 0.64

00:03:48.000 Short term excursion to Middle East will soon end

00:03:51.000 That's what he called it a couple of times

00:03:52.000 Earlier in the day as well

00:03:53.000 He called the entire adventure in Iran

00:03:58.000 As far as the United States are concerned

00:04:00.000 A short term excursion

00:04:02.000 He used the word excursion a couple of times

00:04:04.000 Or even three times was it?

00:04:07.000 Hmm

00:04:09.000 Well there you go

00:04:10.000 That's how it sort of exists in his mind

00:04:12.000 It seems

00:04:14.000 He doesn't want to be the forever war guy

00:04:21.000 I mean you can't have it both ways

00:04:22.000 If you hate Trump

00:04:23.000 And you're a TDS sufferer

00:04:25.000 Or whatever

00:04:26.000 For whatever reason

00:04:27.000 Or you're a pro-Iranian war person

00:04:29.000 Or something

00:04:30.000 You're a lefty

00:04:31.000 You're a Democrat

00:04:32.000 Anyone who doesn't like Trump

00:04:33.000 Can't have it both ways

00:04:37.000 Criticising Trump I mean

00:04:39.000 That he

00:04:40.000 That he's reneged

00:04:42.000 On his

00:04:44.000 On his election promises

00:04:45.000 To not get involved in forever wars

00:04:49.000 And also the

00:04:50.000 The

00:04:51.000 The idea of a short term excursion

00:04:52.000 Or just

00:04:53.000 Like midnight hammer

00:04:54.000 Strikes like that 0.66

00:04:55.000 That they're all so terrible

00:04:57.000 And bad 1.00

00:04:58.000 And stupid 1.00

00:04:59.000 And you know like 1.00

00:05:01.000 Vapid

00:05:02.000 You know paper thin 0.66

00:05:04.000 Just a crazy 0.99

00:05:06.000 A crazy harebrained 0.99

00:05:07.000 That trumps just a crazy harebrained adventurer 0.80

00:05:10.000 And just does things

00:05:11.000 Then moves on

00:05:12.000 And doesn't care

00:05:14.000 Because he's so

00:05:17.000 Heartless or whatever

00:05:19.000 There's one

00:05:20.000 You can't have both of those things be true

00:05:22.000 Alright anyway

00:05:23.000 Apparently

00:05:24.000 Apparently Trump did speak to Putin

00:05:26.000 For quite a while

00:05:27.000 Or an hour long

00:05:28.000 According to the mail group

00:05:29.000 Yesterday

00:05:30.000 According to Trump

00:05:31.000 Trump says it was

00:05:32.000 It was good

00:05:34.000 Apparently Putin said

00:05:35.000 Anything I can do to help

00:05:37.000 You know not actually fighting

00:05:38.000 In Iran 0.76

00:05:39.000 But anything I can do to help

00:05:40.000 Sort of thing

00:05:41.000 Apparently Trump said

00:05:42.000 Well you can end the war with Ukraine 0.93

00:05:43.000 That would help

00:05:45.000 Obviously in a broader context

00:05:49.000 Um

00:05:52.000 Because there were reports last week

00:05:53.000 Or was it over the weekend

00:05:56.000 There was some suggestion

00:05:58.000 That Iran 1.00

00:05:59.000 Russia was helping Iran 0.96

00:06:01.000 Either with

00:06:02.000 Intelligence

00:06:05.000 Letting the Iranians know

00:06:07.000 Where some

00:06:09.000 U.S. and possibly even Israeli assets were

00:06:12.000 Exactly where they were

00:06:14.000 So the Iranians could just 1.00

00:06:16.000 Type the GPS coordinates

00:06:17.000 Into their drones 0.99

00:06:19.000 And hit them 0.99

00:06:20.000 Either that 0.97

00:06:21.000 Whether that's true or not

00:06:22.000 That was just reported

00:06:23.000 I don't know if that's true or not

00:06:25.000 Um

00:06:26.000 And also

00:06:27.000 Which I think is true 0.98

00:06:29.000 I think

00:06:30.000 Might not be

00:06:31.000 Uh

00:06:32.000 Russia sent 0.94

00:06:34.000 Iran

00:06:35.000 Some drones

00:06:36.000 To use

00:06:38.000 Or are they funny the drone thing

00:06:39.000 Just a real quick minute or two on that

00:06:41.000 That

00:06:42.000 These drones 0.59

00:06:43.000 Because a lot of people think

00:06:44.000 When you talk about drones

00:06:46.000 You think of those

00:06:47.000 Those little quadcopter things

00:06:49.000 That are only like about this big

00:06:50.000 Or smaller even

00:06:51.000 You know

00:06:52.000 With you know

00:06:53.000 Quad

00:06:54.000 Quadcopter things

00:06:55.000 With a little bit of explosive on

00:06:56.000 Tiny little bit

00:06:57.000 And you're flying them into 0.73

00:06:58.000 An individual man

00:06:59.000 Even sometimes

00:07:00.000 Like we've seen

00:07:02.000 Clips like that

00:07:03.000 Coming out of Ukraine 1.00

00:07:04.000 And Russia haven't we

00:07:05.000 But the drones we're talking about here 0.58

00:07:07.000 Are much bigger

00:07:08.000 They're like three metres long

00:07:09.000 They look like a little aeroplane

00:07:10.000 Little delta winged

00:07:11.000 Aeroplane

00:07:13.000 They're about three metres long

00:07:14.000 It's not small is it?

00:07:15.000 I mean that's

00:07:17.000 Small than a normal

00:07:19.000 Fast jet

00:07:20.000 But still not

00:07:21.000 Not tiny

00:07:22.000 And the whole nose of it

00:07:24.000 Is filled with high explosive

00:07:25.000 Or whatever you want

00:07:27.000 Could be whatever you want

00:07:28.000 Could be Ebola

00:07:30.000 Could be Ebola

00:07:31.000 Couldn't it?

00:07:32.000 Botulism

00:07:33.000 Something

00:07:34.000 VX gas

00:07:35.000 Could be anything you want

00:07:36.000 Not that I think

00:07:38.000 Iran are doing that 1.00

00:07:39.000 I'm not suggesting that

00:07:40.000 I'm just saying

00:07:41.000 It could be anything you wanted

00:07:42.000 So yeah

00:07:43.000 Now

00:07:44.000 Apparently Iran

00:07:45.000 Worked on those designs

00:07:47.000 Made those

00:07:48.000 First and foremost

00:07:49.000 And they're really quite straight forward

00:07:51.000 They're simple things

00:07:52.000 You don't need a

00:07:54.000 You don't need a

00:07:55.000 Fantastic degree of

00:07:56.000 Knowledge

00:07:57.000 Or engineering

00:07:58.000 In order to make these things

00:07:59.000 They're pretty straight forward

00:08:00.000 But apparently they

00:08:01.000 Passed the designs on to Russia 0.97

00:08:05.000 Like Russia needs 0.94

00:08:06.000 Iranian design

00:08:07.000 Anything

00:08:08.000 Anyway that's what happened

00:08:10.000 And apparently Russia

00:08:12.000 Sort of tweaked the design

00:08:14.000 As you can imagine

00:08:15.000 That is

00:08:16.000 Russians are good

00:08:17.000 That sort of thing

00:08:18.000 And now

00:08:22.000 It's flipped back

00:08:23.000 Where

00:08:24.000 Some reports said

00:08:25.000 The Russians 0.95

00:08:26.000 Sent some of these things

00:08:28.000 Back to Iran 0.99

00:08:29.000 To help

00:08:30.000 Whether that's true or not

00:08:31.000 Don't know

00:08:32.000 But okay

00:08:33.000 That was what was being said

00:08:34.000 But Russia

00:08:36.000 Putin certainly isn't going to help

00:08:38.000 The regime

00:08:39.000 The Iranian regime 0.51

00:08:40.000 In any sort of meaningful sense

00:08:42.000 If he's on one side of the fence

00:08:44.000 Or the other

00:08:45.000 It is

00:08:46.000 On the

00:08:47.000 U.S.

00:08:48.000 Israel side

00:08:49.000 Effectively

00:08:50.000 I mean

00:08:51.000 It's pretty much

00:08:52.000 Completely out of it

00:08:53.000 Right

00:08:54.000 Other than those little

00:08:55.000 Couple of little data points

00:08:56.000 I said there

00:08:57.000 If they're true

00:08:59.000 That may just

00:09:00.000 Well be Western

00:09:01.000 It may well be Western propaganda

00:09:03.000 Like anti-Russian

00:09:04.000 Western propaganda

00:09:05.000 Saying that stuff

00:09:06.000 Saying that sort of stuff

00:09:07.000 And it isn't actually true

00:09:08.000 But

00:09:09.000 Who knows

00:09:10.000 Alright

00:09:11.000 Trump had a phone call with Putin

00:09:12.000 Right

00:09:13.000 The Sun

00:09:14.000 Cheltenham's happening

00:09:16.000 If anyone doesn't know

00:09:17.000 This is in the papers a fair bit

00:09:18.000 But

00:09:19.000 I don't care about it

00:09:20.000 Horse racing

00:09:21.000 Do you like watching horse racing?

00:09:23.000 Do you bet on horse racing?

00:09:25.000 If so

00:09:27.000 Cheltenham's coming up

00:09:28.000 The big

00:09:29.000 Horse racing stuff

00:09:30.000 I don't

00:09:31.000 I don't

00:09:32.000 Never been interested in horse racing

00:09:33.000 Or horses in general really

00:09:35.000 There you go

00:09:37.000 Sorry if that's your thing

00:09:39.000 I'm not going to talk about it

00:09:40.000 Oh yeah

00:09:41.000 Did you remember yesterday I mentioned

00:09:42.000 That there was gunplay

00:09:43.000 At Rihanna's house?

00:09:44.000 Yeah

00:09:45.000 So that's still a bit of a thing

00:09:47.000 In California

00:09:48.000 In California

00:09:49.000 One report I saw

00:09:50.000 I only glanced at it

00:09:51.000 I didn't bother reading

00:09:52.000 The whole thing

00:09:53.000 But I just sort of read the headline

00:09:54.000 Somewhere or other

00:09:55.000 Apparently there's a woman 1.00

00:09:56.000 Some other woman

00:09:57.000 Not Rihanna herself

00:09:58.000 Some other woman

00:10:00.000 Shooting

00:10:02.000 Going down

00:10:03.000 I don't think anyone was killed or anything

00:10:04.000 There was

00:10:05.000 There were shots

00:10:06.000 At Rihanna's house

00:10:12.000 Alright

00:10:13.000 Um

00:10:14.000 After oil price chaos

00:10:16.000 Trump

00:10:17.000 War is near end

00:10:19.000 I don't think they've got a finite amount of space

00:10:22.000 And writing headlines is in some ways

00:10:24.000 Especially front pages

00:10:25.000 Is an exercise in brevity

00:10:27.000 Isn't it?

00:10:28.000 But you have to write like that

00:10:29.000 After oil price chaos

00:10:31.000 Trump

00:10:32.000 War is near end 1.00

00:10:33.000 It's sooo dumb 0.99

00:10:34.000 Isn't it? 1.00

00:10:35.000 Sooo dumb 0.99

00:10:36.000 Alright 1.00

00:10:37.000 Shall we talk a little bit about the oil price again today?

00:10:39.000 Well

00:10:40.000 It came down loads again

00:10:42.000 So I think the watch word is

00:10:43.000 Volatility

00:10:45.000 It's super volatile

00:10:48.000 Not just massively spiking

00:10:52.000 Or that's the news today

00:10:54.000 It might change again

00:10:55.000 It might just be a blip

00:10:57.000 So what happened was

00:10:58.000 By the beginning of play yesterday

00:11:03.000 The oil price had gone over a hundred dollars

00:11:06.000 Well as I keep saying

00:11:07.000 It's not just one price is there

00:11:08.000 But some of the most expensive barrels

00:11:11.000 We're looking at like $115 a barrel

00:11:14.000 $119 a barrel

00:11:16.000 Something in that ballpark

00:11:18.000 And then yesterday

00:11:20.000 Particularly after Trump

00:11:22.000 In the afternoon

00:11:23.000 Started talking about how

00:11:24.000 The war is near the end

00:11:26.000 We'll talk more on what he said

00:11:27.000 He said stuff like

00:11:29.000 I could walk away from it now

00:11:30.000 And be happy

00:11:31.000 I'm not going to

00:11:33.000 But I could

00:11:34.000 And it's going to come to an end soon

00:11:35.000 Don't worry about it

00:11:36.000 After that

00:11:38.000 The price

00:11:39.000 Came down loads

00:11:42.000 Some of the cheapest barrels

00:11:43.000 Were under $70 at one point

00:11:46.000 Now it's back up again on average

00:11:48.000 It's back up to around $90

00:11:50.000 I had a quick look

00:11:52.000 On most of the biggest crude

00:11:54.000 Different types of crude

00:11:56.000 Just before I came on here

00:11:58.000 Like the most expensive one

00:11:59.000 Looked like it was about $110

00:12:01.000 And the cheapest one

00:12:02.000 Looked like it was about $87

00:12:05.000 But on average

00:12:06.000 Roughly

00:12:07.000 You can say

00:12:09.000 Okay, very roughly 0.79

00:12:10.000 Don't shoot me

00:12:12.000 But roughly

00:12:13.000 About $90 a barrel

00:12:15.000 Okay, happy to say that

00:12:17.000 The price of crude today

00:12:18.000 Roughly on average

00:12:19.000 Is about $90

00:12:22.000 So it came down loads

00:12:23.000 In one day

00:12:24.000 In fact, it was the biggest

00:12:25.000 I haven't called into many

00:12:27.000 Who watch this stuff

00:12:28.000 All day every day

00:12:29.000 For their living

00:12:31.000 It was the biggest one day rebound

00:12:32.000 The biggest one day drop

00:12:35.000 Maybe ever

00:12:38.000 But that was after one of the biggest

00:12:39.000 One day spikes ever

00:12:42.000 On Friday

00:12:45.000 So

00:12:47.000 What you can say is

00:12:48.000 It's volatile

00:12:50.000 Super volatile

00:12:52.000 Not simply that it's spiking

00:12:53.000 And it's going through the roof

00:12:54.000 And it's showing no signs of stopping

00:12:56.000 Not that

00:12:57.000 It's just it's volatile

00:12:59.000 In and around the $100

00:13:01.000 Ballpark

00:13:02.000 Well, although

00:13:03.000 That's the picture at the moment

00:13:05.000 Tomorrow

00:13:06.000 The world bring you completely different news

00:13:08.000 It's spiked

00:13:09.000 Again

00:13:10.000 To an insane degree

00:13:11.000 This time

00:13:13.000 Who knows?

00:13:14.000 Who knows?

00:13:15.000 But at the moment

00:13:16.000 About $90 a barrel

00:13:20.000 Again, before the war started

00:13:21.000 It was about $78, $79

00:13:22.000 So

00:13:25.000 So there you go

00:13:26.000 But still loads of the

00:13:27.000 Loads of the papers

00:13:28.000 Loads of the corporate mainstream media

00:13:29.000 Are going with the angle

00:13:30.000 That it's just

00:13:32.000 That it's just

00:13:33.000 Ridiculously expensive

00:13:34.000 And it's going to cause

00:13:35.000 Economic collapse

00:13:36.000 Like worldwide

00:13:37.000 Your energy prices

00:13:40.000 Are going to go through the roof

00:13:42.000 At the petrol pump

00:13:43.000 It's going to go through the roof

00:13:45.000 All of that

00:13:46.000 Because that sells papers for them

00:13:47.000 Doesn't it?

00:13:48.000 That gets clicks

00:13:49.000 They make you scared

00:13:50.000 That gets clicks

00:13:51.000 They're not really interested in just

00:13:53.000 Having a normal opinion

00:13:55.000 A normal analysis

00:13:56.000 Of what reality

00:13:57.000 What's happening in reality

00:13:58.000 They're not particularly interested in that

00:13:59.000 Are they?

00:14:00.000 Often

00:14:01.000 Some are sometimes

00:14:02.000 But often

00:14:03.000 It's just scaremongering

00:14:05.000 Just panic at the pumps

00:14:06.000 You know

00:14:07.000 That sort of thing

00:14:10.000 Crazy SOBs 0.95

00:14:11.000 Really irresponsible isn't it 0.99

00:14:12.000 I think

00:14:15.000 When so many normies

00:14:17.000 Swallow it all wholesale

00:14:18.000 Start living their life 0.99

00:14:19.000 On the strength of what

00:14:20.000 The front page of the mirror said

00:14:21.000 Or something

00:14:22.000 It's irresponsible

00:14:23.000 Okay

00:14:25.000 The price of oil

00:14:27.000 Rebounded massively

00:14:28.000 Yesterday

00:14:29.000 And is down

00:14:30.000 Again

00:14:31.000 So

00:14:32.000 Volatility is the watch word

00:14:33.000 As I said

00:14:34.000 Alright let's carry on shall we

00:14:35.000 The Tory graph

00:14:36.000 Trump

00:14:37.000 Iran

00:14:38.000 War

00:14:39.000 Very complete

00:14:40.000 Classic Trump

00:14:41.000 It's very complete

00:14:42.000 It's the most complete

00:14:46.000 It's complete bigly

00:14:48.000 Okay

00:14:49.000 President claims that regime

00:14:51.000 Has nothing left

00:14:52.000 In our long phone call with Putin

00:14:54.000 That was one of the things

00:14:55.000 Trump said yesterday

00:14:56.000 Well he's been saying

00:14:57.000 For a couple of days now really

00:14:58.000 Um

00:14:59.000 Yeah we've

00:15:00.000 We've decimated

00:15:01.000 Or more than decimated

00:15:02.000 More than decimated

00:15:03.000 That's one in ten isn't it

00:15:04.000 Way more than decimated

00:15:05.000 Uh

00:15:06.000 Iran's capacity to fight back

00:15:09.000 Um

00:15:10.000 Yeah like

00:15:11.000 Its navy is almost non-existent

00:15:12.000 At this point

00:15:14.000 It's

00:15:15.000 It's

00:15:16.000 It's RAF

00:15:17.000 It's Air Force

00:15:19.000 Essentially gone

00:15:21.000 Um

00:15:22.000 They've got nothing left

00:15:23.000 Apparently also their

00:15:24.000 Ability for

00:15:25.000 Internal communications

00:15:26.000 Gone

00:15:27.000 Gone

00:15:28.000 You know

00:15:29.000 Air defence is gone

00:15:30.000 Pardon me

00:15:31.000 Radar gone

00:15:32.000 The whole lot

00:15:33.000 Most of their leadership

00:15:34.000 Gone

00:15:35.000 As well

00:15:36.000 I mean

00:15:37.000 That is the thing

00:15:39.000 The United States

00:15:40.000 Does best

00:15:41.000 Isn't it

00:15:42.000 I've said

00:15:43.000 I've said this before

00:15:44.000 This war started

00:15:45.000 I've said it a number of times

00:15:46.000 I've said it on Twitter

00:15:47.000 Some people

00:15:48.000 Didn't believe me

00:15:50.000 Say look

00:15:52.000 Winning the peace

00:15:53.000 Is one thing

00:15:54.000 Winning hearts and minds

00:15:55.000 Okay America hasn't necessarily got a great

00:15:59.000 Track record with that

00:16:01.000 Winning a very very protracted guerrilla war

00:16:05.000 Like in the jungles of South East Asia

00:16:08.000 Or the plains of Afghanistan

00:16:12.000 Which is an insanely difficult thing to do for anyone

00:16:14.000 Okay not such a brilliant track record that

00:16:16.000 But taking out your air defences

00:16:18.000 And bombing you from the sky

00:16:20.000 That is what they

00:16:21.000 Do do brilliantly

00:16:22.000 Perfectly

00:16:25.000 But people

00:16:26.000 For example on Twitter

00:16:27.000 They just

00:16:28.000 They don't

00:16:29.000 Didn't want to accept it

00:16:30.000 But it's obviously true 0.99

00:16:31.000 It's obviously the case

00:16:34.000 If you've got things they can blow up from the sky

00:16:38.000 You can't stop them from doing it really

00:16:44.000 Okay

00:16:45.000 Markets rally to reverse surge in oil price

00:16:48.000 And ease fears of an inflation shock

00:16:52.000 Okay there

00:16:53.000 So the Telegraph's being reasonably honest

00:16:55.000 About what happened

00:16:57.000 With the oil price yesterday

00:16:58.000 But it still will feed into inflation

00:17:00.000 In all sorts of ways

00:17:01.000 Almost certainly

00:17:03.000 Because of course it will

00:17:05.000 Making us all poorer

00:17:06.000 In real terms

00:17:07.000 In real terms

00:17:13.000 Okay

00:17:15.000 Macron seizes initiative in the Gulf

00:17:17.000 As he sends unprecedented naval fleet to region

00:17:23.000 Yeah so

00:17:24.000 Macron's got all hawkish about it

00:17:26.000 Well he thinks he's Napoleon

00:17:29.000 No he doesn't I'm joking

00:17:30.000 But yeah

00:17:31.000 So he won't be president for France for very much longer

00:17:33.000 Is my prediction

00:17:35.000 At the next presidential election

00:17:37.000 Whenever that will be

00:17:38.000 Almost certainly won't win

00:17:39.000 I would have thought

00:17:41.000 Unless there's some crazy coalition he's able to put together

00:17:44.000 But he's deeply unpopular in France

00:17:46.000 Deeply unpopular in France

00:17:48.000 He's had his go

00:17:49.000 He's been president for a fair few years now

00:17:50.000 He's had his turn

00:17:52.000 He probably won't be president for much longer

00:17:54.000 And in fact

00:17:55.000 His governments just keep collapsing

00:17:56.000 Because remember he's president of France

00:17:58.000 Not prime minister or chancellor or anything

00:18:00.000 He's the actual president

00:18:03.000 So there'll be governments underneath him

00:18:07.000 And they keep collapsing

00:18:08.000 How many has he had?

00:18:09.000 What is it?

00:18:10.000 Six, seven, eight?

00:18:11.000 I don't even know how many he's had

00:18:13.000 And they keep collapsing

00:18:14.000 Now by rights

00:18:15.000 If he had any sort of sense of propriety

00:18:17.000 He probably would have resigned before now

00:18:19.000 But no he just sticks there

00:18:21.000 Because he's a classic lefty globalist

00:18:23.000 The WEF have said

00:18:24.000 No, we don't want you to resign

00:18:27.000 You're our guy in France

00:18:28.000 For the time being

00:18:30.000 So cling on

00:18:31.000 With regards of how politically absurd it is

00:18:35.000 Anyway, enough about Macron and the internal French politics

00:18:37.000 He won't be president for all that much longer

00:18:38.000 So he will be looking, won't he?

00:18:41.000 Towards his legacy

00:18:42.000 How history will remember him

00:18:44.000 Because he's going to exit the stage of history very soon

00:18:47.000 And obviously wants to be known as some sort of badass strutting around the world stage

00:18:56.000 And so the French are sending quite a big 1.00

00:18:59.000 Quite a big, well it's described as a fleet there

00:19:02.000 It's a mini fleet

00:19:04.000 They're sending something like

00:19:05.000 I think something in the ballpark of eight different warships

00:19:08.000 One of their aircraft carriers

00:19:10.000 Or maybe

00:19:12.000 Yeah, one of their aircraft carriers

00:19:13.000 And seven or eight other relatively large ships

00:19:17.000 He started saying stuff like

00:19:19.000 When Cyprus is attacked

00:19:21.000 Calm down mate

00:19:23.000 There's only a couple of drones that didn't do any real damage

00:19:25.000 He said when Cyprus is attacked

00:19:26.000 All of Europe is attacked

00:19:29.000 It's not really under attack

00:19:31.000 A couple of drones out of Lebanon

00:19:34.000 I mean it's the lowest possible thing you could describe as being attacked

00:19:39.000 But okay, no, fair enough though

00:19:41.000 It is, technically, has been

00:19:43.000 Attacked

00:19:45.000 Macron most affected

00:19:47.000 The French Navy most affected

00:19:49.000 Anyway, it's a bit embarrassing for

00:19:51.000 The Brits, isn't it, a little bit 0.75

00:19:53.000 That they're on the scene before we are

00:19:55.000 Long before the scene, any much stronger force than we are

00:19:58.000 Other things he said, he said

00:20:00.000 The French Navy will be used to protect open

00:20:02.000 And keep open the Straits of Hormuz 0.99

00:20:05.000 And protect oil tankers

00:20:07.000 Trump and Hegseth said they would do that

00:20:10.000 In due course

00:20:11.000 Macron's saying he'll do it

00:20:13.000 He's prepared to do it

00:20:15.000 Or at least, help do it, I suppose

00:20:18.000 Anyway, the take away here

00:20:21.000 Is that

00:20:23.000 Emmanuel Macron

00:20:24.000 Thinks he's some sort of war leader

00:20:32.000 Thinks he's Charles Martel

00:20:34.000 Emmanuel the Hammer

00:20:36.000 Yeah, right 0.82

00:20:38.000 He's a weak, weak man, isn't he? 1.00

00:20:39.000 He lets his wife slap him 1.00

00:20:41.000 Don't he?

00:20:43.000 Remember that? Do you remember that? Do you remember that? Do you remember that, Harry?

00:20:49.000 Harry?

00:20:51.000 Oh, there you go

00:20:52.000 No

00:20:53.000 Oh

00:20:55.000 Okay

00:20:56.000 Alright, a few months ago

00:20:58.000 Macron was getting on an aeroplane

00:21:00.000 Walking up the steps as they do

00:21:02.000 Standing in the doorway

00:21:04.000 But cameras could still see him

00:21:07.000 He's in the aeroplane

00:21:09.000 But cameras could still just sort of see him there

00:21:11.000 And there was some sort of altercation

00:21:13.000 Some words with him and his weird old wife 1.00

00:21:17.000 His really weird old ugly wife 1.00

00:21:20.000 And she slapped him in the face 1.00

00:21:22.000 I think it was more than once

00:21:24.000 Like properly sort of hit him

00:21:26.000 Not a punch

00:21:27.000 Not like a decent

00:21:29.000 Right hook 0.99

00:21:30.000 But slapped him in the face 0.94

00:21:31.000 I think more than once

00:21:32.000 And he just sort of stood there

00:21:33.000 It was like, oh

00:21:37.000 There's more about her than him

00:21:38.000 To be perfectly honest, doesn't it? 0.97

00:21:43.000 Mad, they're both freaks, aren't they? 0.99

00:21:44.000 They're both weirdo 0.99

00:21:45.000 Weirdo, weirdo freaks 0.99

00:21:48.000 Schools and offices urge to monitor anti-Muslim hostility 0.99

00:21:52.000 Yeah, it's a thing in the British News today

00:21:54.000 All about how the government wants to crack down on

00:21:57.000 Any hostility towards Muslims in any way

00:22:00.000 And come out with a new Islamophobia definition

00:22:03.000 And have a new anti-

00:22:05.000 Have a new Islamophobia czar in government 0.99

00:22:08.000 Because that's the problem, is it?

00:22:09.000 That's the problem 0.96

00:22:10.000 There's too much anti-Muslim hate 0.99

00:22:11.000 All right 0.98

00:22:12.000 Okay

00:22:14.000 Muslims need to be protected more

00:22:16.000 We need something like the blasphemy laws 1.00

00:22:18.000 To protect anyone

00:22:19.000 Even saying anything anti-Islamic

00:22:24.000 More, more than we've already got 1.00

00:22:27.000 This government, they're insane 1.00

00:22:28.000 They're insane 1.00

00:22:29.000 They're insane 0.99

00:22:30.000 Oh, here's a little story 0.95

00:22:31.000 Clinton knew about Adam's role in IRA

00:22:32.000 We'll talk about that a bit later

00:22:34.000 About Jerry Adams and the IRA

00:22:35.000 What Jerry Adams did or didn't know

00:22:36.000 Did or didn't know

00:22:37.000 Did or didn't order

00:22:38.000 We'll get to it

00:22:40.000 The times, the venerable times

00:22:41.000 Anti-Muslim hostility

00:22:42.000 The times, anti-Muslim hostility

00:22:43.000 The times, anti-Muslim hostility

00:22:44.000 They've already got

00:22:45.000 They've already got 0.99

00:22:46.000 This government, they're insane 1.00

00:22:47.000 They're insane 1.00

00:22:48.000 They're insane 0.99

00:22:49.000 Oh, here's a little story 0.95

00:22:50.000 Clinton knew about Adam's role in IRA

00:22:51.000 We'll talk about that a bit later

00:22:53.000 About Jerry Adams and the IRA

00:22:55.000 What Jerry Adams did or didn't know

00:22:58.000 Did or didn't know

00:23:00.000 Did or didn't order

00:23:02.000 We'll get to it

00:23:05.000 The times, the venerable times

00:23:07.000 Anti-Muslim hostility policies

00:23:10.000 Risk splitting society

00:23:12.000 Labour told

00:23:14.000 Yeah, yeah

00:23:16.000 So the government came out and said

00:23:17.000 We're going to have an anti 0.52

00:23:20.000 Well, we're going to have an Islamophobia czar 0.96

00:23:23.000 In government

00:23:24.000 We're going to come out finally

00:23:25.000 With our definition of Islamophobia

00:23:28.000 And we're going to have all sorts of policies

00:23:30.000 Put in place to tackle anti-Muslim hostility

00:23:34.000 And the government's own

00:23:36.000 Sort of, what is it

00:23:37.000 Some sort of anti-terrorism body

00:23:38.000 Some sort of

00:23:40.000 Anti-terrorism or even free speech type people

00:23:43.000 Various people came out, in fact

00:23:44.000 Various people came out and said 0.79

00:23:46.000 You're crazy, right? 0.76

00:23:47.000 You are just talking about blasphemy laws now 0.98

00:23:49.000 That is basically what this is

00:23:50.000 Even Labour people

00:23:51.000 Even people in the government

00:23:53.000 We're like, this isn't a good idea

00:23:55.000 For a few different reasons

00:23:57.000 This isn't a good idea

00:23:59.000 It's what our government just does now, doesn't it?

00:24:01.000 It comes out with things

00:24:04.000 It tries to start doing things

00:24:06.000 And nearly everyone

00:24:07.000 Loads of people on their own side

00:24:09.000 People from the left and the right

00:24:11.000 Come out and say

00:24:13.000 We don't like this, that's bad, don't do that

00:24:15.000 It's nearly everything they do now, isn't it?

00:24:17.000 Nearly everything they do

00:24:19.000 Doesn't please anyone

00:24:23.000 Other than like a small slither of people

00:24:24.000 That are like

00:24:25.000 Like hell-bent on being some sort of

00:24:28.000 Left of centre

00:24:30.000 Centrist

00:24:32.000 Weirdo

00:24:33.000 Like

00:24:34.000 Keir Starmer himself

00:24:37.000 Clinging on to sort of old paradigms

00:24:40.000 Old centre left

00:24:42.000 Lefty type

00:24:44.000 Paradigms

00:24:45.000 Trying to make the world fit

00:24:47.000 Into that frame

00:24:48.000 And it just doesn't now, does it?

00:24:50.000 Okay, we'll probably talk a bit more about that

00:24:51.000 A bit more about that during the show

00:24:52.000 The anti-Muslim stuff

00:24:54.000 Trump 0.92

00:24:55.000 Iran has nothing left 1.00

00:24:56.000 And war is nearly over

00:24:58.000 President defiant

00:24:59.000 As British households

00:25:01.000 As British households

00:25:02.000 Told to brace for soaring costs

00:25:04.000 With fear of petrol

00:25:05.000 At £2 a litre

00:25:08.000 Put it in perspective

00:25:09.000 It's not £2

00:25:10.000 Even if it did get to £2 a litre

00:25:12.000 I don't think it isn't at the moment

00:25:14.000 But even if it did

00:25:15.000 That's quite expensive

00:25:16.000 I mean relatively

00:25:17.000 That's expensive

00:25:18.000 Relatively

00:25:21.000 Certainly compared to some places in the world

00:25:25.000 But it's not that mad

00:25:26.000 It's not that mad though

00:25:27.000 Is it?

00:25:28.000 It's not that mad

00:25:30.000 If you go to a decent

00:25:32.000 If you go to a decent

00:25:36.000 Grocery store

00:25:37.000 Like Waitrose or something

00:25:39.000 You pay more than that for a litre of milk

00:25:42.000 Not that that's actually got anything to do with the

00:25:44.000 Actually, don't worry about that

00:25:46.000 Does it matter what milk costs in relation to petrol?

00:25:48.000 But anyway

00:25:49.000 Petrol could go up

00:25:50.000 Well will

00:25:51.000 Almost certainly go up won't it?

00:25:53.000 Okay

00:25:55.000 What else have we got?

00:25:56.000 The metro

00:25:58.000 Gross 1.00

00:25:59.000 You're gross, disgusting 1.00

00:26:00.000 Stop doing it 1.00

00:26:01.000 End yourself

00:26:02.000 Just close down

00:26:04.000 Close down

00:26:06.000 Rank

00:26:08.000 One of the rankest papers

00:26:09.000 Okay

00:26:10.000 After missile strikes refineries

00:26:12.000 AA urges

00:26:15.000 Drive less to save on fuel

00:26:17.000 As oil price soars

00:26:19.000 That's not Alcoholics Anonymous by the way

00:26:22.000 That's not Academic Agent

00:26:24.000 That's the Automobile Association

00:26:27.000 The AA says drive less to save on fuel

00:26:30.000 It's like

00:26:32.000 Why is the AA getting involved in sort of

00:26:35.000 Geopolitics particularly

00:26:36.000 Just fix cars

00:26:37.000 Or don't fix cars

00:26:39.000 Don't tell me how much petrol

00:26:41.000 I need to

00:26:42.000 I want to use

00:26:43.000 I need to use

00:26:45.000 AA

00:26:49.000 Don't panic or break too hard

00:26:52.000 As war puts pressure on pumps

00:26:54.000 In the price of crude

00:26:56.000 About $90 a barrel

00:26:58.000 About $10 more than when the war started

00:27:00.000 Very very volatile price but

00:27:03.000 At least so far

00:27:05.000 At least on the morning of the 10th of March

00:27:08.000 It hasn't gone berserk

00:27:10.000 In terms of volatility it has

00:27:12.000 In terms of overall price it hasn't

00:27:14.000 Okay the mirror

00:27:16.000 Real real slop the mirror isn't it?

00:27:19.000 Getting worse and worse and worse

00:27:21.000 I mean it's never great

00:27:23.000 Never great

00:27:25.000 Seems to get worse though doesn't it?

00:27:26.000 The mirror

00:27:28.000 Middle East crisis hits home

00:27:30.000 Cost of war

00:27:31.000 Chances of pledge to shield families

00:27:33.000 But fears grow over fuel and energy bills

00:27:35.000 Yeah she was going to put the price of petrol up anyway

00:27:38.000 And lots of people are saying

00:27:40.000 Including Nigel

00:27:42.000 Saying don't do that

00:27:44.000 Surely now after what's actually happened in the last week

00:27:46.000 Last 10 days or so

00:27:48.000 The price is going to spike anyway

00:27:50.000 Definitely

00:27:52.000 Just in the commercial sense

00:27:53.000 Normal person

00:27:56.000 Paying for petrol at the pump

00:27:58.000 The last thing you should really do is

00:28:00.000 Make it worse by adding

00:28:02.000 Even more tax on it

00:28:04.000 But apparently Rachel Thieves

00:28:06.000 Rachel from account

00:28:08.000 Weird non-economist

00:28:10.000 HR lady

00:28:12.000 Who's the Chancellor of the Exchequer

00:28:14.000 Is still going to do it apparently

00:28:16.000 Because she doesn't know what she's doing

00:28:18.000 Really doesn't know what she's doing

00:28:19.000 You know

00:28:21.000 You must know it in real life

00:28:23.000 Someone you work with or something or other

00:28:27.000 And it's just

00:28:29.000 They just show

00:28:31.000 They just make it clear again and again and again

00:28:33.000 That they don't know what they're doing

00:28:35.000 It's horrible having a boss 0.99

00:28:37.000 Working for someone that is completely completely incompetent

00:28:40.000 Someone like David Lammy

00:28:42.000 Someone like Lisa Nandy

00:28:44.000 Someone like Rachel Reeves

00:28:45.000 It's just so painfully

00:28:48.000 It's painfully obvious

00:28:51.000 That they don't know what they're doing

00:28:56.000 Sometimes you get an actor doing a Shakespearean role

00:29:01.000 And they obviously don't know the words that they're saying

00:29:06.000 They don't really know the meaning of the lines that they're reading

00:29:10.000 So they read it all wrong

00:29:12.000 They read all the cadence wrong because they don't get it

00:29:13.000 That's what I feel like

00:29:15.000 Have you ever seen that?

00:29:19.000 Maybe a young American actress in some Shakespeare movie

00:29:24.000 She obviously doesn't know

00:29:26.000 So it's read all with all the wrong emphasis on all the words and things

00:29:34.000 That's what I feel like Rachel Reeves is like in government 1.00

00:29:36.000 As a Chancellor

00:29:39.000 So it doesn't really get it

00:29:42.000 Okay, the Express

00:29:44.000 Oh...

00:29:46.000 It's a good paper

00:29:48.000 Reeves urge to act as soaring petrol prices are predicted in the Middle East crisis

00:29:52.000 Freeze duty call

00:29:54.000 Freeze tax call

00:29:56.000 As fuel is to hit £2 a litre

00:29:58.000 Alright, thanks the Express

00:29:59.000 There's the Princess of Wales looking radiant as ever

00:30:02.000 The Guardian

00:30:04.000 The Guardian

00:30:06.000 The Guardian

00:30:07.000 Reeves walls of cost of living rise as war in Iran hikes energy prices

00:30:19.000 Got it

00:30:21.000 There's some pro-regime Iranian people

00:30:24.000 Is she calling out for a high five? 0.84

00:30:27.000 That's not a Nazi solution

00:30:28.000 It's not a Nazi solution

00:30:33.000 If anyone does any action even remotely close to that

00:30:37.000 You're a Nazi 0.55

00:30:39.000 Okay 0.98

00:30:42.000 Slightly interesting

00:30:44.000 UK's AI claim built on phantom investments

00:30:47.000 There's just a little story

00:30:49.000 It says that

00:30:51.000 A lot of the AI

00:30:53.000 A lot of money that's been gone into the AI sector

00:30:55.000 And sort of the AI sector

00:30:57.000 In British companies

00:30:59.000 British versions of that is sort of nonsense

00:31:01.000 Sort of not real

00:31:05.000 Okay, the Financial Times

00:31:07.000 G7 stands ready to tap oil reserves

00:31:12.000 It's already half past

00:31:14.000 Maybe I'll go into the nature of oil reserves

00:31:16.000 National oil reserves

00:31:17.000 Tomorrow or another day

00:31:20.000 In fact I will talk a fair bit about oil already this morning haven't I?

00:31:23.000 Crude surges past £100 a barrel

00:31:27.000 Before falling back

00:31:29.000 Leaders rush to rain in damage to world economy

00:31:32.000 It's not that damaged

00:31:36.000 Bonds and stocks suffer a traders bet on high inflation

00:31:41.000 Yeah, not catastrophically either one way or another

00:31:43.000 Trump under pressure

00:31:45.000 On petrol price before elections

00:31:47.000 That's another thing

00:31:48.000 It's a classic thing about how the corporate mainstream media works

00:31:50.000 For example

00:31:52.000 With TDS anyway

00:31:54.000 For TDS

00:31:58.000 That's gone cold

00:32:00.000 Yeah

00:32:02.000 Two little examples

00:32:04.000 Yesterday or was it over the weekend

00:32:06.000 For example I saw one bit the BBC did on TV

00:32:09.000 And it was a BBC reporter

00:32:11.000 And he had gone to somewhere

00:32:12.000 I think Texas it was

00:32:14.000 Sort of a Vox Populi type segment

00:32:16.000 Where he went and talked to normal people

00:32:19.000 All types of normal people in Texas

00:32:22.000 And asked them about Trump

00:32:24.000 And asked them about the Iran war

00:32:26.000 And everything

00:32:27.000 And every single one of them

00:32:29.000 Was saying yeah no I stand behind my commander in chief

00:32:31.000 Every single one

00:32:33.000 You know they would have shown it

00:32:35.000 If they could find anyone

00:32:36.000 That said no I hate Trump

00:32:38.000 This war is terrible

00:32:39.000 Every single one of them was like no

00:32:40.000 I'll stand behind it

00:32:41.000 It's the right thing to do

00:32:42.000 I'll stand behind the president

00:32:43.000 I'll stand behind America 0.91

00:32:45.000 Iran is bad 1.00

00:32:46.000 They've hated us forever haven't they 0.97

00:32:48.000 Da da da da da da

00:32:50.000 Okay

00:32:51.000 And the smarmy BBC reporter trying to

00:32:56.000 You know trying to tee them up

00:32:58.000 So that they'll say something negative about him

00:33:00.000 And they won't

00:33:01.000 Okay so there's a five minute bit of that

00:33:03.000 Then it cuts back to the reporter

00:33:05.000 And then he just says

00:33:07.000 Despite everything you've just seen

00:33:09.000 Most people in America hate Trump

00:33:12.000 And aren't for this war

00:33:15.000 So you're editorialising

00:33:17.000 You're just

00:33:19.000 Despite what you just showed us

00:33:24.000 And the same angle

00:33:26.000 Not just the BBC

00:33:27.000 All over the corporate mainstream media

00:33:29.000 Saying that

00:33:31.000 Every time Trump says now

00:33:32.000 Like he did yesterday

00:33:33.000 That the war will be over shortly

00:33:35.000 It won't be all that long

00:33:37.000 They're spinning it

00:33:38.000 They're spinning the angle

00:33:40.000 That he has to make it short

00:33:42.000 Because he's lost his bottle

00:33:44.000 Because the oil price spiked

00:33:48.000 It's like well

00:33:49.000 The oil price has come back down

00:33:51.000 So it spiked for like a day

00:33:53.000 And when Trump was specifically asked about that

00:33:55.000 He was really sang-foir about it

00:33:57.000 He was really chilled out about it

00:33:59.000 He was like it's a glitch, it's fine

00:34:00.000 He's not that bothered by it

00:34:03.000 He's really not

00:34:07.000 And he's always said it's going to be short

00:34:09.000 Literally from moment one of this thing

00:34:11.000 He said it will only last a few weeks

00:34:12.000 Well they said a few days at first

00:34:13.000 And a few weeks

00:34:15.000 And his angle has always been

00:34:16.000 He's always said that it will be a few weeks

00:34:19.000 But now they're spinning it

00:34:21.000 That it will be short because

00:34:23.000 Of oil prices

00:34:25.000 That's just not really what's going on is it?

00:34:28.000 Your TDS has taken over

00:34:33.000 What angle can I get?

00:34:35.000 What angle can I sort of just try and say 0.51

00:34:37.000 That makes Trump look weak and bad 1.00

00:34:39.000 And America look weak and bad and stupid 1.00

00:34:42.000 Oh that one, that makes some sense 1.00

00:34:44.000 If you don't really pay attention to what's actually happened

00:34:47.000 The course of events and in what order

00:34:49.000 If you don't pay attention to any of that

00:34:50.000 We can just say this

00:34:52.000 This take

00:34:53.000 And it will make Trump look weak and bad

00:34:56.000 So they do

00:35:00.000 It's fake isn't it?

00:35:01.000 It's so fake and phony

00:35:03.000 So inauthentic

00:35:05.000 Or the idea that there's loads of trouble

00:35:07.000 At least in Britain

00:35:08.000 Loads of trouble with our energy

00:35:11.000 So

00:35:13.000 And that the price will keep spiking

00:35:14.000 Even though we already pay loads

00:35:15.000 So

00:35:17.000 Not

00:35:19.000 Start talking about coal again

00:35:21.000 Not start talking about

00:35:22.000 A programme of building multiple nuclear facilities

00:35:26.000 Definitely not talking about drilling in the North Sea more

00:35:29.000 Or again

00:35:31.000 No, we'll just talk about windmills now

00:35:34.000 Just talk about solar panels now

00:35:36.000 Mental, I saw a thing on Sky News this morning 0.98

00:35:40.000 Some mental lefty 0.97

00:35:42.000 Talking about how 0.76

00:35:46.000 Because of the surge in oil

00:35:48.000 They can talk about that now

00:35:49.000 Even though it's come back now

00:35:50.000 But there's been a giant surge in oil

00:35:52.000 Mr. Trump has destroyed oil

00:35:55.000 So we need to just get completely on board with windmills and solar now 0.98

00:36:02.000 These crazy, crazy people 0.82

00:36:05.000 Mad, it's mad 1.00

00:36:07.000 It's mad

00:36:09.000 Alright, the iPaper

00:36:10.000 Revealed Trump dismissed

00:36:12.000 PM's Iran plea in stormy call

00:36:14.000 Let's just quickly read the blurb here

00:36:16.000 It's usually quite good isn't it

00:36:17.000 US President dismissed Keir Starmer's arguments

00:36:20.000 In fraught private call

00:36:22.000 That was like, that was Sunday or yesterday

00:36:23.000 I think it must have been Sunday

00:36:25.000 Remember? I think I reported on it yesterday

00:36:27.000 I had a call

00:36:28.000 Trump dismisses him

00:36:31.000 Trump was not interested in PM's attempts to explain his decision

00:36:34.000 To keep Britain out of bombing attacks on Iran regime

00:36:38.000 US source tells the iPaper

00:36:41.000 Now, anyone who watches the Bose show, Breakfast with Bo

00:36:44.000 Bose Breakfast Club

00:36:47.000 Will know that I am the furthest thing from a supporter of

00:36:51.000 Sir Queer Stalin 0.98

00:36:56.000 Hate his guts 0.99

00:36:57.000 Think he's an enemy of the nation 1.00

00:36:58.000 Enemy of the people 1.00

00:37:00.000 Think he's a disgusting person 1.00

00:37:04.000 Disgusting thing 1.00

00:37:06.000 Stupid as well 1.00

00:37:08.000 Um 1.00

00:37:10.000 But I must say there

00:37:12.000 That does annoy me a bit

00:37:16.000 That Trump

00:37:18.000 Refuses to listen to his explanation

00:37:20.000 Trump was not interested in PM's attempts to explain his decision

00:37:26.000 Uh, what? 0.99

00:37:29.000 Like, we're not actually your prison bitch 1.00

00:37:32.000 The Donald 0.99

00:37:33.000 We're not actually the 51st state

00:37:36.000 The Prime Minister of Great Britain is not actually one of your governors

00:37:39.000 I'm afraid

00:37:41.000 You're not even going to listen to his

00:37:43.000 Why he's doing what he's doing

00:37:45.000 You're not even going to listen to it

00:37:46.000 Screw you then 0.60

00:37:48.000 Now, I'm half American 0.99

00:37:50.000 I'm pro the United States in loads of ways

00:37:52.000 Everyone watching this from the United States

00:37:54.000 All the Donald MAGA people

00:37:55.000 Don't go, don't leave me

00:37:57.000 We can still make this work

00:37:59.000 But you've got to see from a British person 1.00

00:38:00.000 An English person's point of view

00:38:01.000 That's frustrating

00:38:03.000 He wouldn't even

00:38:05.000 He wouldn't even really listen to his attempt to explain what his decision was

00:38:10.000 Oh, what?

00:38:11.000 Cause Nettie has got you wrapped around his little finger 1.00

00:38:13.000 We've got to do everything, he says as well

00:38:15.000 No, no, no, no, we don't, no

00:38:17.000 You're not even going to listen to it

00:38:19.000 20 minute call, not a rosy affair, they say

00:38:25.000 Oh well

00:38:27.000 Oh well

00:38:28.000 Tensions grow over King's proposal

00:38:31.000 Okay, King Charles is probably still going to go to the United States

00:38:33.000 Okay, alright

00:38:35.000 The Star, not interested in the war in the Middle East 0.55

00:38:38.000 The Star, race queen exclusive 0.90

00:38:40.000 That's to do with horse racing by the way

00:38:42.000 Not like race relations

00:38:44.000 Race queen 0.83

00:38:47.000 The queen of the races 1.00

00:38:50.000 Yeah, stupid story 1.00

00:38:52.000 This woman is a jockey 1.00

00:38:54.000 Or was, she's pregnant now 0.94

00:38:55.000 Um, and Cheltenham's happening

00:38:57.000 Big race meet

00:38:59.000 One of the biggest race meets of the year

00:39:01.000 Um, that's it, it's just

00:39:03.000 There's nothing, there's nothing to that

00:39:05.000 It's just, that's a female jockey 1.00

00:39:11.000 Okay, okay, nothing about

00:39:13.000 The biggest war in a generation 0.64

00:39:15.000 Says The Star

00:39:16.000 Shall we have a look at the

00:39:18.000 Our poll, today's poll

00:39:19.000 Harry

00:39:21.000 Engage

00:39:23.000 We said

00:39:25.000 How long do you think the Iran war will last?

00:39:28.000 And we gave you the options of

00:39:30.000 A week, a month, a year, or forever, ever

00:39:33.000 Forever, ever?

00:39:34.000 And it's come back here

00:39:39.000 A week, it's got

00:39:41.000 Uh, 9%

00:39:43.000 A month, 42%

00:39:45.000 Winning, we're 42%

00:39:46.000 A year, 21%

00:39:47.000 And forever, ever, 28%

00:39:49.000 And that's, uh

00:39:52.000 Well, well over 1,200 people

00:39:55.000 Have voted on that

00:39:57.000 Fair few votes, right?

00:39:59.000 Oh, I think that's great, brilliant, thanks for voting

00:40:00.000 Thanks for watching The Beauchamp, thanks for voting

00:40:03.000 Because if it was like 12 people

00:40:05.000 If it was like 40 people

00:40:07.000 Or even if it's like 250 odd, that's

00:40:10.000 That's not bad, but it's not great, but

00:40:12.000 1,200, it will pop over 1,300 in a minute

00:40:15.000 Um, that's a decent, decent cross-section of

00:40:19.000 Opinion, it really is

00:40:21.000 So, a month is winning

00:40:24.000 Yeah, if I took that poll, I would either have clicked

00:40:27.000 A week or a month, I may well have clicked

00:40:28.000 I may well have clicked

00:40:29.000 I may well have clicked a month

00:40:30.000 Something like that

00:40:31.000 That is probably the most realistic thing, isn't it?

00:40:33.000 I think

00:40:36.000 Yeah, so

00:40:39.000 A week is losing the most there

00:40:42.000 So, everyone sort of

00:40:44.000 Realises it's going to last a while yet, still

00:40:49.000 Okay, good, just ticked up to 43%, say, a month

00:40:52.000 In and around a month

00:40:53.000 I think Trump and Hankers are probably right

00:40:55.000 That when they say

00:40:56.000 They're probably not lying

00:40:57.000 When they'll say

00:40:58.000 This will go on for another 4, 5 or 6 weeks

00:41:01.000 Something in that ballpark

00:41:05.000 Because after a while

00:41:07.000 They will be bouncing rubble

00:41:09.000 So-called bouncing rubble

00:41:10.000 There will be no targets left in Iran 0.99

00:41:12.000 Almost, almost

00:41:14.000 There's nothing left for them to really hit particularly

00:41:18.000 Unless they want to start taking out like an individual man

00:41:21.000 Which they're not going to do

00:41:22.000 But

00:41:23.000 Alright

00:41:24.000 Shall we move on to the websites

00:41:26.000 It's already 22

00:41:27.000 Let's have a quick look at the websites

00:41:28.000 There's a few stories that were of interest

00:41:31.000 Alright, first of all then the BBC

00:41:37.000 Oh yeah, quickly to say

00:41:38.000 The Iranian football team

00:41:40.000 There's a big female football 1.00

00:41:42.000 Soccer to our American friends

00:41:44.000 There's a big female football tournament going on in Australia at the moment 0.99

00:41:48.000 And the Iranian female team

00:41:50.000 Some of them at least

00:41:52.000 Have claimed asylum now in Australia

00:41:57.000 Okay

00:42:00.000 We could talk all about that

00:42:01.000 And when the Afghan women's team

00:42:02.000 A few years back did it

00:42:03.000 And how these actually

00:42:06.000 There's loads more to that

00:42:08.000 Well, a bit more

00:42:09.000 It's all one thing for these individual ladies 1.00

00:42:12.000 To get to stay in Australia

00:42:13.000 But they leave family at home

00:42:15.000 Which may then be in trouble with the regime

00:42:16.000 It's a bit

00:42:18.000 It's a much more multifaceted thing usually

00:42:23.000 Faisal Islam

00:42:24.000 Who now thinks he's some sort of economist

00:42:27.000 Talking about oil prices

00:42:30.000 Oh yeah, that military

00:42:32.000 That missile that hit the girls school

00:42:35.000 In the south of Iran

00:42:36.000 Right on the first day

00:42:38.000 It's increasingly looking like it was a US mistake

00:42:42.000 Increasingly

00:42:43.000 It might not be

00:42:44.000 Absolutely 100% conclusive

00:42:46.000 But evidence is sort of starting to point that way

00:42:50.000 Like actual evidence

00:42:56.000 That happens in more

00:42:57.000 That's what happens in more

00:42:59.000 Happy now

00:43:03.000 Rogue war people

00:43:05.000 Hawk people 1.00

00:43:06.000 Yeah, that big fire in Scotland

00:43:09.000 The whole building

00:43:11.000 Collapsed, didn't it?

00:43:13.000 And there was loads of other businesses

00:43:15.000 That third world vape shop

00:43:17.000 Run by people

00:43:20.000 It's obviously a front

00:43:22.000 Nearly all vape shops

00:43:24.000 I imagine

00:43:26.000 Are fronts for money laundering

00:43:27.000 Or people smuggling

00:43:28.000 Or drugs

00:43:29.000 Certainly money laundering, isn't it?

00:43:31.000 One burnt down

00:43:33.000 And loads of other normal people's

00:43:35.000 Actual normal law abiding

00:43:36.000 Normal Scottish people

00:43:37.000 Their businesses were lost

00:43:43.000 Loads of lawyers even

00:43:45.000 Are saying that the jury restriction plan is bad

00:43:48.000 So quickly to say

00:43:49.000 Because it's a story we've covered before

00:43:50.000 Certainly on the main podcast

00:43:51.000 And I've seen it before

00:43:52.000 A number of times

00:43:54.000 That David Lamb and the Justice Department

00:43:55.000 And the government want to

00:43:56.000 Scrap jury trials

00:43:57.000 For all but the most serious crimes

00:43:59.000 If it's a rape or a murder trial

00:44:00.000 You'll still get a jury

00:44:01.000 But other than that

00:44:03.000 And they claim it's to do with

00:44:04.000 Getting rid of the backlog

00:44:05.000 The giant backlog

00:44:06.000 Of criminals you've got

00:44:07.000 Don't worry about

00:44:08.000 Don't worry about why

00:44:09.000 That might be

00:44:11.000 Just keep packing the country

00:44:12.000 You've nepped

00:44:13.000 Hundreds of thousands

00:44:14.000 Of people more

00:44:15.000 Year on year on year

00:44:16.000 Without fail

00:44:18.000 But we've got a backlog

00:44:19.000 Of criminals now

00:44:21.000 Best way to deal with that

00:44:23.000 Scrap the concept

00:44:24.000 Of having a jury trial

00:44:28.000 Loads of even

00:44:29.000 Labour backbenchers

00:44:30.000 Loads of them

00:44:31.000 Dozens

00:44:32.000 Maybe as many as 80

00:44:33.000 Are going to hopefully block that

00:44:34.000 In parliament

00:44:35.000 But even lots and lots

00:44:36.000 Of other lawyers

00:44:37.000 You know that's sort of crazy

00:44:39.000 Like don't do that

00:44:40.000 That's terrible

00:44:41.000 That's throwing the baby out 0.99

00:44:42.000 With the bath water

00:44:43.000 In various senses

00:44:45.000 Of course it is

00:44:46.000 Like David Lamb he cares

00:44:48.000 It's not his heritage is it?

00:44:51.000 This country

00:44:52.000 It's not his history

00:44:53.000 And his heritage

00:44:55.000 He wants us to pay

00:44:57.000 Reparations to his people

00:44:59.000 Doesn't he?

00:45:00.000 He's not one of us is he?

00:45:03.000 By his own definition

00:45:04.000 In his own mind

00:45:05.000 So he doesn't care about

00:45:06.000 He doesn't care about destroying

00:45:07.000 Thousand year old tradition

00:45:10.000 Scrap it

00:45:11.000 Throw it on the scrap heap

00:45:12.000 Why does he care?

00:45:16.000 Make us pay reparations

00:45:17.000 While we're at it

00:45:20.000 Psycho 1.00

00:45:21.000 Idiot 1.00

00:45:23.000 People must have seen him 1.00

00:45:24.000 On Celebrity Mastermind

00:45:25.000 How embarrassing

00:45:26.000 David Lambie our Justice Secretary

00:45:30.000 And Deputy Prime Minister

00:45:32.000 Ex-Foreign Secretary

00:45:34.000 David Lambie MP

00:45:35.000 The Right Honourable David Lambie MP

00:45:36.000 Went on Celebrity Mastermind

00:45:39.000 And on the general knowledge

00:45:41.000 Bit

00:45:44.000 He revealed the fact

00:45:45.000 The fact that he doesn't really know anything

00:45:47.000 Like a child

00:45:48.000 Like a 7 or 8 year old child

00:45:52.000 You know if you give a small child

00:45:53.000 A general knowledge quiz

00:45:54.000 And it's not their fault is it?

00:45:55.000 They're a little kid

00:45:56.000 They don't know

00:45:57.000 You ask them something

00:45:58.000 Pretty straight forward

00:45:59.000 Like who was Marie Antoinette

00:46:00.000 Or something

00:46:01.000 They're just like

00:46:04.000 I don't know

00:46:06.000 That's what David Lambie was like

00:46:07.000 Like he had the mind of a small child

00:46:10.000 How you move through the world

00:46:12.000 And become an adult

00:46:13.000 And glean that

00:46:14.000 Small amount of general knowledge

00:46:16.000 Is remarkable

00:46:18.000 Anyway

00:46:19.000 Enough about David Lambie

00:46:21.000 Jerry Adams

00:46:23.000 He's in the news

00:46:24.000 He's on trial at the moment

00:46:25.000 It's a civil trial

00:46:27.000 Have we got time to go into it?

00:46:31.000 A real quick say

00:46:32.000 Anyone who doesn't know

00:46:35.000 Jerry Adams used to be the leader of Sinn Féin

00:46:37.000 Sinn Féin

00:46:39.000 The political wing

00:46:40.000 Of Irish

00:46:42.000 Republicanism

00:46:44.000 Right?

00:46:46.000 How to explain it

00:46:47.000 To people who might not know anything about it

00:46:49.000 There's the

00:46:50.000 There's the island of

00:46:52.000 The island of Ireland

00:46:54.000 Most of it is the Republic of Ireland

00:46:56.000 With completely it's own government and everything

00:46:57.000 Little bit in the corner is Northern Ireland controlled

00:46:59.000 Supposed to be anyway

00:47:01.000 Controlled from

00:47:03.000 Mainland Britain from Westminster

00:47:05.000 It's even more complicated than that

00:47:06.000 But the point is

00:47:08.000 The point is

00:47:10.000 The Republican forces

00:47:12.000 The Republican movement

00:47:14.000 Had a political wing

00:47:16.000 Sinn Féin

00:47:17.000 It was supposed to be a political party

00:47:18.000 Like Labour or Conservative or whatever

00:47:20.000 Then they had a paramilitary wing

00:47:22.000 That did bombings and shootings

00:47:23.000 The IRA

00:47:24.000 The Irish Republican army

00:47:26.000 Right?

00:47:27.000 The Irish Republican army

00:47:29.000 And they were supposed to be

00:47:30.000 Never the twain shall meet

00:47:32.000 Right?

00:47:33.000 One had nothing to do with the other

00:47:37.000 Gerry Adams was the leader of Sinn Féin

00:47:39.000 The political wing

00:47:40.000 Whenever the IRA did things

00:47:41.000 You know like

00:47:43.000 I don't know 0.90

00:47:44.000 Something like blow up a load of soldiers 0.94

00:47:45.000 In the middle of London 0.97

00:47:46.000 Or

00:47:51.000 Or whatever

00:47:56.000 Blow up

00:47:57.000 The Duke of Edinburgh's dad

00:48:01.000 Blow up the old Bailey

00:48:04.000 Blow up Canary Wolf

00:48:06.000 Blow up loads of things all the time

00:48:08.000 Whenever they did anything like that

00:48:10.000 Gerry Adams would just say

00:48:11.000 Well there's nothing to do with me

00:48:13.000 We have nothing to do with any of that

00:48:14.000 I don't know anything about it

00:48:16.000 That's the paramilitary side of it

00:48:18.000 And I'm the political wing

00:48:20.000 I'm clean as a preacher sheets

00:48:22.000 Didn't do nothing

00:48:27.000 Well most people that aren't 1.00

00:48:29.000 Complete idiots over the years 0.99

00:48:31.000 Have always said 1.00

00:48:32.000 Well that almost certainly isn't the case

00:48:34.000 It's unlikely that that's the case

00:48:36.000 Then there was never any like slam dunk evidence

00:48:38.000 Erm

00:48:39.000 So anyway

00:48:44.000 Nowadays

00:48:45.000 Now though

00:48:46.000 He is actually being taken to court

00:48:47.000 The actual high court in London

00:48:49.000 It's only a civil case

00:48:51.000 And the people

00:48:53.000 The three men that are

00:48:55.000 Erm

00:48:56.000 That are actually bringing the case

00:48:58.000 They're only asking for one pound in damages

00:49:00.000 It's a pure

00:49:01.000 It's purely for

00:49:03.000 To have it on the record

00:49:05.000 Basically

00:49:06.000 Gerry Adams is not going to go to prison

00:49:08.000 For like

00:49:09.000 30 years or anything

00:49:11.000 And even if he loses

00:49:12.000 He'll only have to pay

00:49:13.000 Probably their costs

00:49:14.000 And one pound

00:49:16.000 But the record will show

00:49:18.000 If he's found guilty

00:49:19.000 That he was in fact

00:49:20.000 He did in fact

00:49:22.000 In some way

00:49:23.000 Whether directly or indirectly

00:49:25.000 Have something to do with

00:49:26.000 The paramilitary

00:49:28.000 Operations

00:49:29.000 The IRA

00:49:32.000 Giant bombs

00:49:33.000 How big that bomb would have been?

00:49:36.000 Stocklands

00:49:37.000 I remember that bomb

00:49:38.000 I heard that bomb

00:49:40.000 I was like 20-25 miles away

00:49:42.000 It was in like 1996 I think

00:49:44.000 I was about 25 miles away

00:49:45.000 In Essex

00:49:46.000 One evening

00:49:48.000 In a pub

00:49:50.000 I was very young

00:49:51.000 I wasn't old enough to be in a pub

00:49:52.000 But you're old enough to

00:49:54.000 I wasn't drinking

00:49:55.000 But you're old enough to sort of

00:49:56.000 Be there with an adult

00:49:57.000 The adults playing darts

00:50:00.000 We heard this like

00:50:01.000 Very far away thud

00:50:02.000 Like a thump

00:50:03.000 Sort of a noise

00:50:05.000 Giant bomb that was

00:50:06.000 Giant bomb

00:50:08.000 Dear it 0.91

00:50:09.000 20-25 miles away

00:50:11.000 Not many people were killed in that one

00:50:12.000 But that's not really the point

00:50:13.000 A couple of people were killed

00:50:15.000 Oh anyway

00:50:16.000 Gerry Adams is on trial

00:50:18.000 Because

00:50:19.000 There does seem

00:50:20.000 To be evidence

00:50:22.000 That

00:50:23.000 He in fact did

00:50:24.000 Was talking to the IRA

00:50:25.000 And

00:50:26.000 The allegation is

00:50:28.000 That he was even

00:50:29.000 Ordered them

00:50:30.000 He ordered certain

00:50:31.000 Bombings

00:50:32.000 Certain terrorist events

00:50:35.000 We'll have to let the court decide

00:50:42.000 Right

00:50:43.000 Alright

00:50:44.000 It's already 10-2

00:50:46.000 There was a few other bits and bobs

00:50:47.000 Was there?

00:50:48.000 A few other interesting stories

00:50:49.000 Oh it looks like the MP

00:50:50.000 Well MPs vote down social media ban for under 16s

00:50:54.000 Probably good

00:50:55.000 I don't like the idea that little kids get to see gore

00:50:58.000 And

00:50:59.000 And porn and things on the playground

00:51:01.000 But

00:51:02.000 It might be mission creep

00:51:03.000 Where it's just the government restricting

00:51:06.000 Freedom of

00:51:08.000 The freedom of the internet

00:51:09.000 In

00:51:10.000 You know

00:51:12.000 Mission creep

00:51:13.000 That'll be the beginning of

00:51:17.000 Of

00:51:18.000 Increasing

00:51:19.000 Crackdowns

00:51:20.000 Okay

00:51:21.000 The Daily Mail

00:51:22.000 There was something in the Daily Mail that was interesting

00:51:25.000 Oh look the Greens

00:51:26.000 Nightmare coalition of hard left parties and Greens

00:51:29.000 Could trigger

00:51:30.000 Quote

00:51:31.000 Very substantial losses for Labour in May elections

00:51:33.000 Local elections that is

00:51:35.000 Nadine Doris talking some complete nonsense

00:51:39.000 Of course she is

00:51:40.000 Is this someone getting Rolf Harris?

00:51:42.000 This is new to me

00:51:43.000 I'm reading this in real time

00:51:44.000 Peterfile TV star Rolf Harris's

00:51:45.000 Four million pound English mention

00:51:46.000 To be auctioned off

00:51:47.000 Oh right

00:51:48.000 Slop

00:51:49.000 Complete slop

00:51:50.000 Okay

00:51:52.000 The rift between Harry and Wills

00:51:54.000 Don't care

00:51:57.000 Corbyn, Galloway, Polanski, Pact

00:51:59.000 Threatens Starmer's Labour

00:52:01.000 With utter catastrophe

00:52:03.000 Possibly

00:52:05.000 There are quite a lot of lefties

00:52:06.000 Lefties in the country

00:52:07.000 UK becomes world's cash machine

00:52:11.000 As one in four settled migrants claim benefits 0.99

00:52:14.000 Yeah, the argument that we need them

00:52:17.000 In any way

00:52:19.000 Is nonsense

00:52:21.000 We don't need these people

00:52:22.000 If a single one of those persons is a criminal

00:52:24.000 They're committing a criminal act

00:52:27.000 By breaking in

00:52:28.000 By invading this country

00:52:29.000 We don't need them

00:52:30.000 And then when they do get here

00:52:31.000 A lot of them don't work at all

00:52:33.000 Let alone being a net contributor

00:52:35.000 That's something else entirely

00:52:36.000 They don't work at all

00:52:39.000 Oh, and per capita

00:52:40.000 The crime rate is through the roof

00:52:42.000 Particularly sex crime

00:52:44.000 We don't need these people

00:52:45.000 They need to be stopped

00:52:46.000 We need to put 4-2 Commando

00:52:48.000 Or whoever

00:52:49.000 The Royal Marines

00:52:51.000 In the channel

00:52:52.000 In speedboats

00:52:53.000 Turn these people back

00:52:55.000 These are invaders

00:52:57.000 These are invaders 0.98

00:53:00.000 These are filth 1.00

00:53:03.000 They're coming here to sponge off us 0.98

00:53:05.000 And commit crime

00:53:09.000 The Care for Calais types

00:53:11.000 Wrote

00:53:13.000 Dave Paulden

00:53:15.000 Zach Polanski, real name David Paulden

00:53:16.000 Is one of those

00:53:17.000 We should let these people in

00:53:19.000 We should let them in

00:53:20.000 More safe and legal routes

00:53:22.000 That's mad

00:53:24.000 That's mad

00:53:26.000 Unless you want society

00:53:27.000 Unless you want the streets

00:53:28.000 To be truly, truly

00:53:31.000 Sort of apocalyptic

00:53:33.000 The state of our society

00:53:34.000 To become

00:53:36.000 Like Honduras 1.00

00:53:38.000 Or Mexico

00:53:39.000 In the worst places

00:53:41.000 Just can't go outside

00:53:43.000 Without being a victim of crime

00:53:44.000 Is that what they want?

00:53:45.000 It sort of is, isn't it?

00:53:47.000 It is, because they're mad

00:53:49.000 The Sun

00:53:50.000 There's something about Jerry Adams again

00:53:53.000 Jerry Adams who didn't do nothing wrong

00:53:56.000 Didn't have anything to do with terrorism

00:53:58.000 At any point

00:54:00.000 He claims

00:54:05.000 So I'm ashamed

00:54:07.000 Alright, Rachel Thieves 1.00

00:54:08.000 Is a moron 1.00

00:54:10.000 Glasgow burnt down 1.00

00:54:12.000 And Ian Huntley is dead

00:54:13.000 Remember?

00:54:15.000 Alright

00:54:16.000 Quickly jump across the pond

00:54:17.000 Oh, it's all Trump 0.55

00:54:18.000 Waterworld Trump in the slime

00:54:19.000 Of course it is

00:54:20.000 Of course it is

00:54:21.000 Alright, it's nearly 5-2

00:54:22.000 Shall we just have a

00:54:23.000 Quick five minutes on this day in history?

00:54:26.000 Before we get to the Rumble Rants

00:54:27.000 And the Super Chats

00:54:28.000 On this day in history

00:54:29.000 10th of March

00:54:30.000 Through the centuries

00:54:31.000 What happened?

00:54:32.000 In the year 241 BC

00:54:34.000 The Battle of Agates Island

00:54:35.000 I may be pronouncing that incorrectly

00:54:37.000 When the Romans sink 0.76

00:54:38.000 The Carthaginian Fleet

00:54:39.000 Ending the First Punic War

00:54:40.000 On epochs

00:54:41.000 Harry

00:54:47.000 On epochs of the Lotus Eaters

00:54:49.000 My show behind the paywall

00:54:50.000 Consider signing up for as listed as £5 a month

00:54:53.000 Gold bronze tier membership

00:54:54.000 LotusEaters.com

00:54:55.000 Hundreds of hours of me talking about history

00:54:57.000 I've got more than one video

00:54:58.000 I'm pretty sure

00:54:59.000 Certainly one

00:55:00.000 Certainly one

00:55:01.000 All about the First Punic War 0.63

00:55:02.000 So this is like before Hannibal even

00:55:04.000 Which is the Second Punic War

00:55:06.000 The showdown between Carthage and Rome

00:55:09.000 Over Sicily

00:55:11.000 Largely over Sicily

00:55:12.000 Rome went from being a non-maritime power

00:55:15.000 In essence

00:55:16.000 To

00:55:17.000 Defeating Carthage at sea

00:55:19.000 The main Mediterranean

00:55:22.000 The Western Mediterranean

00:55:24.000 Maritime power

00:55:25.000 So it's a turning point in history really

00:55:27.000 That the Romans won 0.99

00:55:28.000 Well massively

00:55:29.000 The Romans won the First Punic War

00:55:31.000 I mean Rome ultimately won all the Punic Wars

00:55:34.000 But

00:55:35.000 20 year long war

00:55:36.000 The First Punic War

00:55:38.000 Crazy long

00:55:39.000 Very very bitter

00:55:40.000 Thing over Sicily

00:55:42.000 The Romans and the Carthaginians 0.95

00:55:44.000 Okay

00:55:45.000 On this day in 1783

00:55:46.000 USS Alliance

00:55:48.000 Under Captain Barry

00:55:49.000 Fights and wins

00:55:50.000 The final naval battle

00:55:51.000 Of the American Revolutionary War

00:55:53.000 Off Cape Canaveral

00:55:54.000 Yeah I mean the war was

00:55:56.000 Over before then

00:55:57.000 It really wasn't

00:55:58.000 Well

00:55:59.000 It wasn't but

00:56:00.000 That was just the last naval engagement

00:56:03.000 It was Yorktown was the big one wasn't it

00:56:05.000 Battle of Yorktown

00:56:08.000 Okay on this day in 1861

00:56:10.000 West African political leader

00:56:11.000 El Hajj Umar Tull

00:56:13.000 Seizes the city of Segal

00:56:15.000 Destroying the Bambara Empire in Mali 1.00

00:56:17.000 Don't care

00:56:18.000 In 1920

00:56:20.000 In 1920

00:56:21.000 On this day in 1920

00:56:22.000 Home Rule Act is passed by the British Parliament

00:56:24.000 Dividing Ireland into two parts

00:56:26.000 Very apt

00:56:27.000 We took about Gerry Adams

00:56:28.000 Won't we a moment ago

00:56:29.000 It is rejected by the Southern Counties

00:56:31.000 With the Anglo-Irish War

00:56:33.000 Continues for another year

00:56:35.000 Yeah so God there's so much to be said about that

00:56:37.000 It's not a history show

00:56:38.000 So I won't go on and on about it

00:56:39.000 But

00:56:40.000 Well there's just loads there isn't there

00:56:41.000 If you're English or Irish

00:56:43.000 Or British at all 1.00

00:56:44.000 Should know all about this war 0.72

00:56:46.000 You know it started with the Easter Rising

00:56:48.000 In what 1916

00:56:51.000 It's been the same old scene since 1916

00:56:55.000 Yeah right in the middle of World War 1

00:56:56.000 Thanks for that

00:56:59.000 Nice timing

00:57:00.000 Right in the middle of World War 1

00:57:01.000 The Easter Rising

00:57:02.000 Anyway

00:57:03.000 Yeah the Irish just wanted their 1.00

00:57:05.000 Their country back

00:57:07.000 Fair enough

00:57:08.000 I'm for nationalism in your own country 0.93

00:57:10.000 I'm very

00:57:11.000 I'm absolutely for Indian nationalism

00:57:14.000 In India

00:57:17.000 Yeah

00:57:19.000 Good luck to Peruvian nationalists

00:57:22.000 In Peru

00:57:27.000 Not that I don't recognise Northern Ireland or anything

00:57:29.000 But

00:57:30.000 I don't argue with Irish 0.83

00:57:33.000 Irish nationalism in Ireland

00:57:34.000 Particularly

00:57:36.000 Anyway

00:57:37.000 Anyway

00:57:38.000 That was nice

00:57:39.000 The Easter Rising

00:57:40.000 Anyway by 1919

00:57:41.000 What was it?

00:57:42.000 From 1919 to 1921 I believe

00:57:43.000 I might be wrong

00:57:44.000 Or to 1922

00:57:45.000 There's like the Anglo-Irish War 0.80

00:57:46.000 The Black and Tan War 0.86

00:57:47.000 Some people call it

00:57:48.000 The Black and Tans 0.93

00:57:50.000 There's loads

00:57:51.000 There's so much detail here

00:57:52.000 So much detail

00:57:53.000 All sorts of atrocities on both sides

00:57:57.000 Yeah okay

00:57:58.000 Home rule

00:58:00.000 There's been a massive thing in English politics for ages

00:58:03.000 For like a century or more

00:58:04.000 More

00:58:06.000 Home rule

00:58:08.000 Finally 1920

00:58:09.000 Should have happened like 50 years before that

00:58:11.000 A hundred years before that

00:58:13.000 In the age of Wellington

00:58:15.000 When Wellington was Prime Minister

00:58:17.000 A hundred years before

00:58:19.000 Or so

00:58:20.000 It would

00:58:21.000 It would

00:58:22.000 It would

00:58:23.000 It would

00:58:24.000 Make whole governments collapse

00:58:25.000 The question of Irish Home rule

00:58:27.000 It wasn't until 1920

00:58:28.000 That is remarkably late

00:58:29.000 It should have been long before that really

00:58:31.000 But anyway

00:58:32.000 Alright, whatever

00:58:33.000 On this day in 1945

00:58:34.000 Deadliest air raid of World War 2

00:58:36.000 Sets Tokyo on fire

00:58:37.000 After night time B-29 bombings

00:58:39.000 More than 100,000 people die

00:58:41.000 Mostly civilians

00:58:42.000 Yeah

00:58:44.000 That fire bombing on Tokyo

00:58:46.000 It created a fire storm

00:58:49.000 And a lot of the buildings weren't made of stone

00:58:52.000 And crazily destructive

00:58:57.000 More casualties than the actual nuclear bombings

00:59:01.000 Of Nagasaki and Hiroshima

00:59:03.000 Look at that picture of Tokyo

00:59:05.000 Look at that picture of Tokyo

00:59:06.000 Doesn't it

00:59:07.000 It looks like

00:59:08.000 A nuke hit it almost

00:59:12.000 And the accounts of it

00:59:14.000 Frightful

00:59:15.000 Absolutely frightful

00:59:16.000 People turned to human torches

00:59:18.000 You can't even jump in the river

00:59:19.000 Because the river's boiling

00:59:22.000 It will boil you alive

00:59:23.000 There's no escape

00:59:24.000 Sort of no escape

00:59:26.000 Can't hide in a cellar

00:59:27.000 Because all the air

00:59:28.000 The fire sucks all the air out

00:59:30.000 So you'd have cellars full of people

00:59:32.000 That are suffocated to death

00:59:35.000 The numbers

00:59:36.000 100,000 in one night

00:59:37.000 In one night

00:59:38.000 I think that was when Curtis LeMay

00:59:41.000 The US air marshal type dude

00:59:44.000 I think it was after that

00:59:45.000 He said

00:59:47.000 If we, the Americans

00:59:48.000 Lose this war 0.95

00:59:50.000 We'll be hung 0.97

00:59:52.000 For being war criminals 0.99

00:59:53.000 For committing atrocities

00:59:55.000 They didn't stop them though

00:59:57.000 They didn't stop them one way or another

00:59:59.000 And it's not like

01:00:01.000 Well let's not get into the efficacy of the war

01:00:04.000 But

01:00:05.000 On Epochs

01:00:06.000 Harry

01:00:09.000 On Epochs of Lotus Eaters

01:00:11.000 I've got a couple of bits of content

01:00:12.000 Certainly one all about the road to Pearl Harbour

01:00:15.000 Long form bit of content

01:00:16.000 An hour and a half or more even is it

01:00:19.000 Of me talking about

01:00:21.000 What happened to get Japan to the point 0.88

01:00:23.000 That they did Pearl Harbour

01:00:25.000 In 1941

01:00:26.000 December 7th 1941

01:00:28.000 December 7th 1941

01:00:31.000 There's a long story

01:00:32.000 Right?

01:00:33.000 It's not simply that the Japanese 0.97

01:00:34.000 Were just completely insane aggressors 0.95

01:00:36.000 Out of nowhere

01:00:38.000 That's not what happened

01:00:40.000 Okay, it's a complicated story

01:00:41.000 Alright

01:00:42.000 On this day in 1952

01:00:47.000 A military coup led by

01:00:49.000 General Batista in Cuba

01:00:51.000 1952

01:00:53.000 So Batista is a very very

01:00:54.000 He's the guy who ruled Cuba 0.72

01:00:55.000 But just before Castro

01:00:57.000 Very very long

01:00:58.000 Complicated career and life

01:01:00.000 Interesting Batista

01:01:02.000 But he'd ruled as sort of a military

01:01:05.000 The ruler of Cuba

01:01:06.000 For years

01:01:07.000 Before the war

01:01:08.000 Before the World War 2

01:01:10.000 Had some puppet

01:01:11.000 Some puppets be the president

01:01:12.000 And then eventually he made himself president

01:01:15.000 And then he was ousted

01:01:16.000 Went and lived in America for a few years

01:01:19.000 And then wanted to come back

01:01:20.000 Was going to try and legitimately win an election

01:01:23.000 To come back in 1952

01:01:24.000 It became absolutely clear

01:01:25.000 He was going to lose at the ballot box

01:01:27.000 So he just led a military coup d'etat

01:01:29.000 Against Cuba

01:01:30.000 The place he used to run

01:01:32.000 For many a year

01:01:34.000 Eventually

01:01:35.000 A few years after that

01:01:37.000 Castro coups him

01:01:39.000 Long complicated and interesting story

01:01:41.000 Something about the NASDAQ there

01:01:42.000 Which isn't interesting

01:01:43.000 Alright, that's it

01:01:44.000 Let's redo the

01:01:46.000 Should we do the rumble rants and super chats

01:01:48.000 Let me do this

01:01:49.000 So I can actually see the screen properly

01:01:52.000 On the rumble rants

01:01:54.000 There's quite a few

01:01:55.000 St. Luke a lot

01:01:57.000 St. Luke and Busted Brian

01:01:58.000 Alright, I'll quickly whip through them

01:02:00.000 Because it's already gone nine

01:02:02.000 Luke Stewart says

01:02:03.000 G'day Bo 1.00

01:02:05.000 U.S. may have been good at sinking 0.88

01:02:07.000 Sinking around Navy

01:02:08.000 But there's still that one New Zealand captain

01:02:11.000 Who sunk a tenth of hers

01:02:13.000 And I'll take Iran female soccer team

01:02:15.000 Over Isis brides 0.99

01:02:16.000 True?

01:02:17.000 Okay, yeah, take her over Isis brides 1.00

01:02:19.000 Still haven't looked into that thing

01:02:20.000 I've got to do it

01:02:21.000 Okay

01:02:22.000 The New Zealand

01:02:25.000 Lesbo captain woman 0.99

01:02:27.000 Okay, Luke again says

01:02:29.000 I wouldn't be surprised if they're trying to control Trump

01:02:31.000 By making the oil volatile

01:02:33.000 Kind of like what happened

01:02:35.000 To that female Prime Minister 1.00

01:02:37.000 You had not long ago

01:02:38.000 When the banks effed the economy over

01:02:41.000 Yeah, interesting point

01:02:43.000 Maybe you're right

01:02:44.000 I suspect

01:02:45.000 Not that Liz Truss you're talking about

01:02:47.000 Because it's something

01:02:48.000 I think

01:02:49.000 What happened to these Trusses 0.96

01:02:50.000 Have got quite a specific thing

01:02:52.000 I can see your point

01:02:53.000 I can see where you're coming from

01:02:54.000 I just don't think that's necessarily the case

01:02:55.000 Because

01:02:56.000 Various oil prices aren't controlled by

01:02:57.000 Like

01:02:58.000 It's not like the OBR

01:02:59.000 There's not just one body

01:03:00.000 That can just

01:03:02.000 Screw with Trump

01:03:03.000 It's the market

01:03:05.000 But anyway, interesting point nonetheless

01:03:07.000 Luke Stewart says

01:03:08.000 I do think this will end with boots on the ground

01:03:10.000 But it will be like Venezuela 0.61

01:03:12.000 Take it enough senior leadership

01:03:15.000 That capturing and humiliating

01:03:16.000 Will be quite easy

01:03:17.000 And the final blow

01:03:19.000 Yeah, maybe

01:03:21.000 Yesterday there was some talk

01:03:22.000 Of limited boots on the ground

01:03:23.000 U.S. actual boots on the ground

01:03:26.000 Perhaps

01:03:27.000 Talk of it

01:03:28.000 We'll see

01:03:29.000 We'll just have to see

01:03:31.000 Luke again says

01:03:32.000 I know this sounds crazy

01:03:33.000 But I'm wondering if Trump

01:03:34.000 Got a normal

01:03:36.000 IR general

01:03:38.000 Or someone in his pocket

01:03:39.000 Now to help rally the people

01:03:41.000 Or Islamic 1.00

01:03:43.000 Iranian regime

01:03:44.000 I guess

01:03:45.000 Then they can go out 0.98

01:03:46.000 And weed out the last of the Islamists in Iran 1.00

01:03:49.000 Well yeah, that'd be good 0.82

01:03:50.000 When people

01:03:51.000 People asked Trump

01:03:52.000 Yesterday even

01:03:54.000 We know you don't

01:03:55.000 You, Trump

01:03:56.000 Don't really like that

01:03:58.000 That Pahlavi

01:04:00.000 The Crown Prince Pahlavi

01:04:02.000 Not a big fan of him

01:04:04.000 Or it's clear that he

01:04:05.000 That he actually doesn't enjoy overwhelming support in Iran

01:04:09.000 Like at all

01:04:11.000 Apparently

01:04:12.000 I'm just telling you what I've read and seen

01:04:14.000 That most people in Iran 0.98

01:04:16.000 Are not dying for him to come back

01:04:18.000 Seems like a lot of people outside of Iran

01:04:21.000 Like him

01:04:22.000 And he does enjoy some support inside Iran

01:04:23.000 But

01:04:24.000 It's not, it's far from like universal

01:04:26.000 Just waiting for him to come and lead them to a new life

01:04:29.000 It's not exactly that

01:04:30.000 Trump's not particularly interested in him

01:04:32.000 It seems

01:04:33.000 The State Department

01:04:34.000 Not massively anyway

01:04:35.000 People ask, oh who else then

01:04:36.000 Have you got anyone else in mind

01:04:38.000 And he was keeping his cards

01:04:39.000 Relatively close to his chest

01:04:40.000 Saying, yeah we've got people in mind

01:04:42.000 You know, but

01:04:43.000 We'll talk about that when we get there

01:04:45.000 He didn't give

01:04:46.000 He didn't just list a name

01:04:47.000 He hasn't really singled out one person

01:04:49.000 He's saying he's our guy

01:04:51.000 He's the State Department's guy

01:04:53.000 There isn't anything like that

01:04:54.000 But yeah

01:04:55.000 He would hope

01:04:56.000 He would have some of their

01:04:57.000 The Iranian generals

01:04:58.000 In his pocket

01:04:59.000 One way or another

01:05:00.000 Okay, Luke also says

01:05:01.000 I will admit on the bright side

01:05:03.000 It has made the

01:05:04.000 The pro self-sufficient

01:05:06.000 Get out our own oil argument

01:05:08.000 Has become a lot more fun

01:05:10.000 A lot more

01:05:12.000 A lot more rum loud

01:05:14.000 And the government has a hard time

01:05:15.000 Trying to not get out flanked

01:05:20.000 Yeah

01:05:23.000 Yeah

01:05:24.000 Well America is self-sufficient

01:05:25.000 It's a net exporter of oil

01:05:28.000 It's got more oil

01:05:29.000 Than it uses domestically

01:05:34.000 Yeah

01:05:35.000 Thanks to Trump

01:05:36.000 Drill baby, drill

01:05:37.000 If it was still under

01:05:38.000 The Biden Kamali years 0.85

01:05:39.000 It wouldn't necessarily be the case

01:05:41.000 Luke says

01:05:43.000 Bo, sorry for all the cheap rumbles

01:05:45.000 Rumble rents

01:05:46.000 Running a bit low on money

01:05:47.000 This fortnight

01:05:49.000 But we'll be back to using

01:05:51.000 The normal YouTube after tomorrow

01:05:52.000 When I get paid

01:05:54.000 Don't worry about it

01:05:55.000 Don't worry about it

01:05:56.000 Don't worry about it

01:05:57.000 It's fine

01:05:58.000 We appreciate the interaction

01:05:59.000 And then we've got another

01:06:00.000 Four from Busted Brian

01:06:01.000 All in a row

01:06:02.000 So I think I'll just

01:06:03.000 I'll just have to sort of

01:06:04.000 Read them all in a row

01:06:05.000 So Busted Brian says 0.99

01:06:07.000 I don't want to sound like a jerk here 0.99

01:06:09.000 But there are 0.97

01:06:10.000 There are some considerations

01:06:11.000 From the US side

01:06:12.000 You might want to entertain

01:06:14.000 Other than Israel 0.99

01:06:15.000 For example

01:06:17.000 Continued in another super chat

01:06:19.000 For example

01:06:21.000 Your military is in despair

01:06:24.000 In disrepair

01:06:26.000 Your government isn't listening to its people

01:06:29.000 Labour covers up grooming gangs

01:06:30.000 While telling Muslims 1.00

01:06:31.000 They're the face of modern Britain

01:06:34.000 If the call was about

01:06:36.000 If the call was about oil

01:06:37.000 Trump's response

01:06:39.000 You know I agree with all those things

01:06:40.000 Our military is in disrepair

01:06:42.000 The government absolutely

01:06:43.000 Doesn't listen to its people 1.00

01:06:45.000 Labour has absolutely covered up the grooming gangs

01:06:46.000 For many many years

01:06:48.000 And telling Muslims 1.00

01:06:49.000 They're the face of modern Britain

01:06:50.000 Yeah I know Busted Brian

01:06:51.000 Yeah I know

01:06:53.000 Well you think that's news to me

01:06:55.000 Okay

01:06:58.000 Trump's response would be

01:06:59.000 If you need the oil

01:07:00.000 Then drill baby drill 0.92

01:07:01.000 I just said that

01:07:02.000 Yeah drill baby drill 1.00

01:07:04.000 And then finally Busted Brian says

01:07:06.000 Anyway

01:07:07.000 I want to reiterate

01:07:09.000 I understand the criticisms

01:07:10.000 Especially about Israel 0.51

01:07:12.000 I only ask

01:07:13.000 You try to be fair if you can

01:07:14.000 I like you guys

01:07:15.000 You know

01:07:16.000 Ha ha ha

01:07:17.000 Yeah no it's fine Busted Brian

01:07:18.000 Yeah it's fine

01:07:19.000 I like a little bit of pushback

01:07:20.000 That's fine

01:07:22.000 You're one of the glorious band

01:07:23.000 The chosen few

01:07:24.000 I don't mind a bit of pushback

01:07:25.000 I get it

01:07:26.000 I understand

01:07:27.000 I understand

01:07:31.000 Yeah okay

01:07:32.000 I mean maybe you would accept the criticism though as well

01:07:36.000 That Trump seems to do whatever Bibi and Kushner ask him to do

01:07:41.000 More or less

01:07:43.000 Is that not true Brian?

01:07:47.000 No?

01:07:50.000 When AIPAC wants Congress to vote a certain way

01:07:53.000 It basically does

01:07:58.000 Is that not true?

01:07:59.000 Okay

01:08:00.000 Global Church History says

01:08:01.000 Today 1629

01:08:03.000 The year 1629 AD

01:08:05.000 Charles the Martyr dissolves Parliament

01:08:08.000 Charles the Martyr

01:08:10.000 Oh! 0.60

01:08:11.000 Charles the First

01:08:12.000 Charles Stuart

01:08:13.000 Charles the First

01:08:14.000 Charles the Martyr

01:08:15.000 Okay

01:08:16.000 1629

01:08:17.000 Right yeah

01:08:18.000 Classic bit of history there

01:08:19.000 Brilliant bit of history

01:08:20.000 Civil War

01:08:21.000 I'm going to do all sorts of stuff on the Civil War

01:08:24.000 I'll do a long

01:08:25.000 Really really long form

01:08:27.000 Really really long form

01:08:29.000 Series

01:08:30.000 About the monarchy

01:08:31.000 I'm up to Henry the

01:08:33.000 Sixth at the moment

01:08:34.000 So eventually I'll get to Charles the First

01:08:37.000 Fromwell

01:08:38.000 Charles the Second

01:08:39.000 Some content on that stuff

01:08:41.000 Also on History Bro

01:08:42.000 My own channel History Bro

01:08:44.000 I believe there's one or two bits

01:08:45.000 But yeah when he dissolved Parliament

01:08:47.000 Yeah

01:08:49.000 He needed a Parliament to

01:08:51.000 He had his personal rule where there was no Parliament

01:08:53.000 Then he really needed money

01:08:55.000 Really really needed more money

01:08:56.000 So he called a Parliament to

01:08:58.000 So they could vote him more money

01:08:59.000 But then

01:09:01.000 With echoes of the French Revolution

01:09:04.000 Which is later in history of course

01:09:06.000 Then they just started

01:09:08.000 Asking for loads of things for themselves

01:09:10.000 More representation

01:09:11.000 Also all sorts of other things

01:09:13.000 Curbing his power

01:09:15.000 All sorts of stuff

01:09:16.000 And he's like

01:09:18.000 Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

01:09:19.000 Whoa whoa stop it

01:09:20.000 I'll try and survive without the money

01:09:22.000 Just end this

01:09:23.000 I'm dissolving Parliament

01:09:24.000 Forget it end it

01:09:26.000 But

01:09:27.000 A little bit

01:09:29.000 A bit too late

01:09:31.000 For that

01:09:32.000 Okay

01:09:33.000 Mr Gently Benevolent says

01:09:35.000 Why are you dressed as the architect from the Matrix

01:09:39.000 Friendbo

01:09:41.000 Am I

01:09:42.000 Am I?

01:09:43.000 I thought this was quite a nice blazer

01:09:45.000 I've seen the Matrix

01:09:47.000 And I remember the architect at the end of like the third one

01:09:49.000 I don't remember what he looks like

01:09:50.000 Does he dress like this?

01:09:51.000 I don't even remember

01:09:53.000 Is this a subtle way of telling us

01:09:55.000 You're actually

01:09:58.000 Puppeteering all these events

01:10:00.000 I wish

01:10:02.000 I wish

01:10:04.000 I wish I was the architect puppeteering the world

01:10:09.000 Okay

01:10:10.000 Anthony Paul Widdish says

01:10:12.000 I've had a certain flock of seagulls song

01:10:15.000 Stuck in my head for a fortnight now thanks to Trump

01:10:17.000 Flock of seagulls 0.77

01:10:19.000 And I

01:10:20.000 Oh

01:10:21.000 And I ran

01:10:23.000 I ran so far away

01:10:26.000 I ran and

01:10:28.000 Iran

01:10:30.000 Flock of seagulls

01:10:31.000 You'd have to be a certain age to get that one

01:10:33.000 You'd have to be in your forties probably

01:10:35.000 At least

01:10:37.000 Or a big fan of eighties music anyway

01:10:40.000 Uh

01:10:42.000 Liam Sexton says

01:10:44.000 Greetings from the Pacific Northwest

01:10:46.000 Lovely bit of the world

01:10:48.000 Of the US as a member of the US Navy

01:10:50.000 Well

01:10:52.000 Hi

01:10:54.000 Pacific Northwest

01:10:56.000 Love to live there

01:10:58.000 Yeah

01:11:00.000 Washington State or something

01:11:02.000 Been watching Twin Peaks lately

01:11:04.000 Lovely bit of the world

01:11:05.000 Absolutely

01:11:06.000 Absolutely beautiful

01:11:08.000 Okay

01:11:10.000 Harry

01:11:11.000 Hobag

01:11:12.000 Says 0.93

01:11:13.000 What's your thoughts on the new F1 season?

01:11:15.000 Um

01:11:16.000 Well there's only been one race hasn't there Australia 0.96

01:11:17.000 It was alright

01:11:18.000 It was interesting

01:11:19.000 Wasn't the most

01:11:20.000 Fantastic race ever 0.97

01:11:21.000 But it wasn't

01:11:22.000 Completely boring

01:11:24.000 So

01:11:25.000 We'll see

01:11:26.000 We'll need to see another few races

01:11:27.000 Before I make an

01:11:28.000 All out decision

01:11:29.000 Whether these new rules are

01:11:30.000 Any good or not

01:11:31.000 But I've seen worse

01:11:32.000 I've seen races even in Australia

01:11:35.000 When there's basically no overtaking

01:11:37.000 Like you're lucky to get two or three overtakes

01:11:39.000 The whole race

01:11:41.000 And it wasn't as bad

01:11:42.000 It wasn't that bad was it?

01:11:43.000 There was some overtaking

01:11:45.000 But

01:11:47.000 Particularly at the front

01:11:49.000 We'll see

01:11:51.000 They're saying

01:11:52.000 People that know

01:11:53.000 Saying that each race will be pretty different

01:11:54.000 Each track

01:11:55.000 Will be pretty different

01:11:57.000 Whole different dynamic

01:11:58.000 This year

01:11:59.000 Whether that's true or not

01:12:00.000 We'll have to see

01:12:01.000 It's a bit early to say

01:12:03.000 Krish281 says

01:12:05.000 Better poll question would be

01:12:06.000 Which will come first

01:12:07.000 The end of the war

01:12:08.000 Or the release of GTA 6

01:12:10.000 Both are uncertain

01:12:13.000 I still like San Andreas myself

01:12:16.000 GTA San Andreas

01:12:19.000 Back on the PS2

01:12:22.000 That's my favourite GTA

01:12:25.000 Still to this day

01:12:27.000 Ok

01:12:28.000 Uh

01:12:30.000 How Tozer

01:12:31.000 How Tozer

01:12:32.000 How Tozer

01:12:33.000 How Tozer

01:12:34.000 Says 0.93

01:12:35.000 Morning Bo

01:12:37.000 I'm

01:12:38.000 I'm Lord

01:12:39.000 Nevara

01:12:40.000 On the website

01:12:43.000 I'm starting chemotherapy

01:12:45.000 Later on today

01:12:46.000 Oh sorry to hear that

01:12:48.000 Still sticking around

01:12:49.000 In the chosen band though

01:12:50.000 Well I'm sorry to hear that

01:12:51.000 Best of luck with that

01:12:52.000 Yeah best of luck with that

01:12:54.000 Yeah best of luck with that

01:12:55.000 If they're putting you on chemo then

01:12:58.000 Then it may work and be alright

01:13:02.000 Sometimes it can work wonders

01:13:04.000 Sometimes it really can

01:13:05.000 Best of luck buddy

01:13:09.000 Yeah 0.85

01:13:10.000 Best of bloody luck 0.96

01:13:11.000 Ok

01:13:14.000 Zeitgeist 3208 says

01:13:16.000 I think Trump likes to play Chinese whispers

01:13:20.000 With all of the lefty globalist leaders

01:13:23.000 Telling them all a slightly different story

01:13:25.000 Just to find out which ones he can trust

01:13:28.000 None of them

01:13:30.000 I think he has fun playing this game

01:13:32.000 Yeah quite possibly

01:13:34.000 There's a decent amount of money on that superchat as well

01:13:36.000 So thanks for that

01:13:37.000 Yeah it's an interesting thing maybe

01:13:39.000 I think Trump probably does play a few head games with people

01:13:44.000 You know the whole art of the deal thing

01:13:46.000 He does play psychological games

01:13:49.000 With people a lot more than

01:13:51.000 Some other presidents

01:13:53.000 Someone like Joe Biden

01:13:54.000 Or even George Bush Jr

01:13:56.000 They didn't or they're not capable of it really

01:13:58.000 Like

01:14:00.000 They're not capable of playing

01:14:03.000 Playing a slightly longer game

01:14:05.000 Maybe not 4D chess

01:14:06.000 Chess

01:14:08.000 But

01:14:09.000 At least 2 or 3D chess

01:14:10.000 They're not

01:14:11.000 They weren't capable of it

01:14:12.000 They didn't do it

01:14:13.000 What you see is what you got

01:14:14.000 And that was it

01:14:15.000 That really was it

01:14:16.000 There's no real manipulation going on

01:14:18.000 In any way

01:14:19.000 Because they

01:14:20.000 They can't

01:14:21.000 I think Trump does do it a bit

01:14:22.000 But

01:14:23.000 Ok

01:14:24.000 I don't think he's like a 5D chess

01:14:26.000 Uber genius or anything though either

01:14:28.000 He's just a

01:14:30.000 I've said it before

01:14:31.000 He's like a New York property magnate guy

01:14:33.000 That's what he is

01:14:36.000 So in other words

01:14:37.000 That is a lot more savvy than most people

01:14:40.000 Not sort of crazy genius Machiavellian

01:14:43.000 Statesman for the ages

01:14:45.000 But still

01:14:47.000 More savvy than most people

01:14:51.000 Ok

01:14:52.000 Global church history says

01:14:53.000 Today in 947

01:14:55.000 Later Han established in

01:14:58.000 A place in China 0.96

01:15:00.000 Interesting

01:15:01.000 Sorry I don't know much about that

01:15:02.000 Can't really add much to that

01:15:04.000 Fortean Barber says

01:15:06.000 Petrols

01:15:08.000 Up to except 15 minutes

01:15:11.000 15 minute cities says AA

01:15:13.000 Oh

01:15:14.000 Petrols up

01:15:15.000 So except 15 minute cities says AA

01:15:17.000 Yeah I know crazy right

01:15:19.000 Pipe down AA

01:15:22.000 Oh

01:15:23.000 A quick rumble rant just came in

01:15:25.000 From Ramshackle Otter

01:15:27.000 Saying Grove Street mother effer 0.57

01:15:31.000 Grove Street

01:15:33.000 Grove Street baby

01:15:35.000 That's a reference

01:15:37.000 That's a reference to

01:15:39.000 Grand Theft Auto San Andreas by the way

01:15:41.000 If you didn't know

01:15:42.000 Representing Grove Street

01:15:44.000 Thanks for that Ramshackle Otter 1.00

01:15:47.000 Ok

01:15:48.000 Fortean Barber

01:15:49.000 Yeah

01:15:50.000 Yeah

01:15:51.000 AA

01:15:52.000 Not academic agent

01:15:53.000 The Automobile Association

01:15:54.000 Calm down

01:15:55.000 Stop telling us about

01:15:56.000 Global politics

01:15:57.000 And what we should or shouldn't do

01:15:58.000 With our own petrol

01:15:59.000 Just fix cars

01:16:01.000 Yeah

01:16:03.000 Ok

01:16:05.000 There's a fair few more so

01:16:06.000 Quite a few more so

01:16:07.000 I'm going to whip through them I'm afraid

01:16:08.000 If you don't mind

01:16:10.000 Thank you for sending them in though

01:16:11.000 Chris again says

01:16:15.000 Have you noticed that the oil prices going up cause everything to get more expensive

01:16:18.000 But when it goes down nothing gets cheaper

01:16:20.000 Yeah classic isn't it

01:16:21.000 Classic inflation thing

01:16:22.000 Nothing's up but the rent

01:16:25.000 Yeah

01:16:26.000 It's frustrating isn't it

01:16:27.000 Really frustrating

01:16:30.000 Zeitgeist

01:16:31.000 Every politician on the left has no life experience outside of the university

01:16:35.000 Yet they easily fool people into voting for them

01:16:39.000 Yeah it's frustrating isn't it

01:16:41.000 Really frustrating

01:16:43.000 Do a PPE at Oxford

01:16:45.000 And go straight from that to being

01:16:48.000 A paid employee of a political party

01:16:52.000 Labour or Conservative

01:16:54.000 And then a few years later get elected

01:16:56.000 And that's it

01:16:57.000 That's your life

01:16:58.000 That's your work experience

01:16:59.000 You never did a normal job

01:17:00.000 Yeah it's mad

01:17:01.000 And they're going to tell us what to do and how to live

01:17:03.000 They've got all the answers

01:17:04.000 No

01:17:06.000 Yeah quite right

01:17:09.000 Lee Clegg says

01:17:11.000 They tried to put an electric fire out with water

01:17:13.000 Yeah that thing in Glasgow

01:17:16.000 You see the guy with the fire extinguisher

01:17:18.000 It's a red fire extinguisher

01:17:19.000 It's got water in it

01:17:21.000 And it was an electrical fire

01:17:22.000 So you really want the one that shoots foam or something don't you

01:17:26.000 Or a particular type of gas

01:17:28.000 CO2

01:17:29.000 When would that work?

01:17:30.000 I don't know

01:17:31.000 But water's not a good idea

01:17:32.000 Water's definitely not a good idea 0.98

01:17:34.000 Because they're retarded 1.00

01:17:38.000 That person must have been 1.00

01:17:40.000 So dumb 1.00

01:17:41.000 That it would have been close to being retarded 1.00

01:17:44.000 You don't know anything about fires 0.60

01:17:45.000 Or fire extinguishers

01:17:47.000 Or putting water on an electrical fire

01:17:48.000 How do you not know?

01:17:49.000 Again how are you an adult?

01:17:50.000 That's not the sort of thing you're taught as a child

01:17:53.000 You're taught how to read and write

01:17:54.000 How to swim

01:17:55.000 How to ride a bicycle

01:17:58.000 And not to put water on an electrical fire

01:18:01.000 That sort of thing

01:18:02.000 Don't jam a knife in a toaster that's on

01:18:05.000 Simple stuff

01:18:07.000 Oh god

01:18:09.000 Okay

01:18:13.000 Inquisitor Media says

01:18:15.000 Did you see the Unison Equality chief

01:18:17.000 Punch a woman at the Manchester anti-racism rally 0.82

01:18:20.000 Where Hannah Spencer was talking 0.98

01:18:22.000 Whole thing looked a mess

01:18:23.000 I did not see that

01:18:24.000 Sounds hilarious

01:18:27.000 The Unison Equality chief

01:18:29.000 Punch a woman 1.00

01:18:31.000 At an anti-racism rally 1.00

01:18:35.000 If she's a riot it's hilarious 1.00

01:18:38.000 If it's a real injury

01:18:39.000 Not so funny

01:18:42.000 Okay

01:18:45.000 Mr Pastry 2010 says

01:18:46.000 Can Zach Polanski be referred to as David Pauldon

01:18:51.000 Like they do with Tommy

01:18:52.000 Yeah please do

01:18:53.000 Yeah yeah

01:18:54.000 Quite often on this or on my other channel I do with Nate

01:18:55.000 The state of politics

01:18:57.000 State of politics

01:18:59.000 We nearly always say 0.75

01:19:00.000 Zach Polanski real name David Pauldon

01:19:03.000 Or is it David Pauldon?

01:19:04.000 Or is it David Pauldon?

01:19:05.000 I mean he's Jewish

01:19:06.000 So isn't it pronounced David

01:19:07.000 But yeah feel free to call Mr Polanski David Pauldon

01:19:15.000 Absolutely

01:19:16.000 Why not?

01:19:17.000 The principle of uncertainty says

01:19:18.000 Being an island was once Britain's greatest defence

01:19:20.000 Now it is our weakness

01:19:22.000 When you can sink boats

01:19:24.000 When you can't sink boats anymore

01:19:26.000 You need a defensive land barrier

01:19:29.000 I mean interesting point

01:19:31.000 Interesting point

01:19:32.000 I mean we could defend ourselves in the Channel

01:19:35.000 And the British Navy isn't that tiny

01:19:39.000 Again all it would need is one

01:19:42.000 Like cruiser, one frigate

01:19:44.000 With a few, half a dozen speed boats

01:19:48.000 Launches

01:19:50.000 Tenders, whatever it is 1.00

01:19:51.000 That's able to launch a few speed boats

01:19:54.000 With Royal Marines on them

01:19:55.000 We're capable of that

01:19:56.000 We've got the capacity to do that

01:19:58.000 They choose not to

01:19:59.000 Day after day after day

01:20:00.000 After day after day

01:20:01.000 They're choosing not to do that aren't they?

01:20:03.000 Mr Dicky Bingo

01:20:05.000 Says 0.93

01:20:06.000 256 BC

01:20:08.000 Gaius Dilius

01:20:10.000 Says 0.93

01:20:11.000 Give me a month

01:20:15.000 256 BC

01:20:16.000 I don't know what you're referring to there

01:20:17.000 I'm sorry

01:20:25.000 Was that in the...

01:20:26.000 That was the first Punic War as well

01:20:27.000 Right?

01:20:28.000 That's the first Punic War as well

01:20:30.000 God it's been a while since I brushed up on the first Punic War

01:20:32.000 Exactly the details

01:20:34.000 Many, many, many, many battles

01:20:35.000 And back and forth in that one

01:20:36.000 Again, twenty years long

01:20:38.000 I don't know if you're making that up

01:20:40.000 Or I've just forgotten who Gaius Dilius is

01:20:44.000 Oh, was he the guy that...

01:20:46.000 Was he the one that found

01:20:48.000 Or captured

01:20:50.000 A Carthaginian ship

01:20:52.000 Or at least the blueprints for a ship

01:20:54.000 And then the Romans started building 0.99

01:20:56.000 So copying the design of Carthaginian ships

01:20:58.000 Gaius Dilius ships

01:20:59.000 I'm sorry I can't quite remember

01:21:00.000 Sorry about that

01:21:02.000 Mr. Dicky Bingo

01:21:05.000 Quiet Blackpool said

01:21:07.000 Did you ever see

01:21:09.000 Godzilla Minus One?

01:21:11.000 Great movie!

01:21:12.000 No I didn't I'm afraid

01:21:14.000 Godzilla Minus One

01:21:16.000 No I never did

01:21:17.000 Was that the one that was...

01:21:18.000 Not that long ago

01:21:19.000 It was relatively low budget

01:21:20.000 But critically acclaimed

01:21:21.000 Everyone said it was really good

01:21:22.000 Is that that one?

01:21:23.000 I'm afraid I didn't

01:21:24.000 I mean to

01:21:25.000 I meant to

01:21:26.000 But never got round to it

01:21:28.000 Mr. Pastry again says

01:21:31.000 UFC Epoch anytime soon

01:21:33.000 Not anytime soon

01:21:35.000 But I would like to do one

01:21:36.000 I should do one

01:21:38.000 Is there anyone in the office who loves UFC?

01:21:40.000 One of the other presenters I could do it with

01:21:42.000 If not I could do it

01:21:43.000 I would do

01:21:44.000 I've thought about it before

01:21:46.000 Talking all about UFC from the West Gracie UFC 1

01:21:50.000 All the way through to now

01:21:52.000 That would be cool wouldn't it?

01:21:53.000 I could should do that

01:21:54.000 I would like to do that

01:21:56.000 I think I will do that

01:21:57.000 But not anytime soon

01:21:58.000 And by that I mean not in the next six months or so

01:22:01.000 If it's a good idea and I would like to do it

01:22:03.000 I think I will do it

01:22:05.000 Don't hold your breath

01:22:06.000 Take a breath

01:22:08.000 Zeitgeist says

01:22:10.000 Now I am become death

01:22:12.000 The destroyer of worlds

01:22:15.000 Obviously that's a quote from

01:22:17.000 Well originally from the Bhagavad Gita isn't it?

01:22:20.000 But it was

01:22:22.000 It was said by

01:22:24.000 Robert Oppenheimer

01:22:26.000 When he was asked to describe his feelings about when the first nuclear test

01:22:30.000 Happened

01:22:31.000 Said he was reminded of the lion from the Bhagavad Gita

01:22:33.000 Now I am become death

01:22:35.000 The destroyer of worlds

01:22:37.000 Ok and the last one for today

01:22:39.000 Principled Uncertainty says

01:22:41.000 I do recommend getting a Quest 3 and playing Green Hell SOA

01:22:46.000 No idea what that is, sorry

01:22:48.000 Do you know what that is, Harry?

01:22:50.000 Is that a younger person thing?

01:22:53.000 Quest 3 and playing Green Hell SOA

01:22:57.000 Yeah, so Quest 3 is VR

01:23:00.000 And I think Green Hell is like a survival game

01:23:03.000 Ok, all of that information is new to me

01:23:07.000 I'm still playing San Andreas from like 1998 or something

01:23:12.000 Literally still playing Civilization 4

01:23:16.000 It's like 20 years old or more

01:23:18.000 20 years old or more

01:23:21.000 Principled Uncertainty says

01:23:22.000 My buddy and I play as Colonel Kurtz

01:23:25.000 What, from Apocalypse Now?

01:23:27.000 Erm

01:23:29.000 And have nearly eradicated an entire tribe

01:23:32.000 Oh ok, well it sounds good

01:23:34.000 I haven't got a VR thing or anything

01:23:36.000 I've got an Xbox 360

01:23:38.000 That I never really touch

01:23:40.000 But I'm glad you enjoy it, sounds cool
