00:00:38.120 thank you for turning up great stuff all right let's get into it then shall we without any

00:00:46.060 further ado no more faff what's the corporate legacy mainstream media banging on about this

00:00:51.940 morning it's a bit a bit dark this morning a bit horrible all right we've got they didn't have to

00:00:58.120 die and you're not the Messiah all right they didn't have to die is in reference

00:01:06.820 to the Southport massacre massacre of the innocent when some Rwandan murdered a

00:01:20.500 load of children little girls okay there's been an inquiry into it all and

00:01:26.920 and the findings are in the in the papers today okay we've got to talk about it

00:01:31.260 first of all who kissed Kendall don't care don't care okay Southport murders

00:01:39.600 inquiry these three poor little kids and like another 10 were terribly wounded

00:01:46.740 can only imagine psychologically scarred forever physically terribly hurt not

00:01:54.440 just those three girls but i mean what kind of i won't even bother getting into the question of

00:02:01.300 what kind of monster does it take to do something that truly sort of an inhuman thing deserves

00:02:12.440 execution it absolutely does they didn't have to die says the son killer's parents slammed in

00:02:19.800 report girls failed by cops and authorities so the report like 750 760

00:02:28.540 old page report came to the conclusion various all sorts of various conclusions

00:02:33.520 sort of the main most salient ones was that the schools the council the police

00:02:41.040 prevent various various bodies as well as the parents themselves all failed to get this psycho

00:02:52.460 locked up before he did what he did parents knew loads of loads of stuff that he looked at loads

00:03:02.740 of crazy stuff online that he'd bought some not rice in not rice in itself you can't just buy a

00:03:08.640 ricin poison but was it from castor beans or something he bought some of the elements that

00:03:14.120 you would need if you wanted to try and make ricin that he had terrorist manuals that he bought knives

00:03:21.500 he'd done violent things in the past he took a knife to school and got expelled

00:03:26.860 let's go to a special school beat some other kid up with a hockey stick

00:03:30.360 But when people started

00:03:36.280 Trying to actually do something about him

00:03:41.320 They were told don't be racist 0.98

00:03:42.640 They were told that's stereotyping a black boy with a knife 0.89

00:03:47.940 Don't do that

00:03:48.480 The parents did all they could really to prevent

00:03:54.580 The authorities from doing what was necessary

00:03:59.160 obfuscated lied on his behalf he himself lied apparently endlessly about what was going through

00:04:06.800 his mind in fact let's read a bit from i think i think it was the mail online there we go look

00:04:15.820 head teacher who feared southport killer was a risk

00:04:19.120 was accused of racially stereotyping a black boy with a knife

00:04:23.320 let's read a bit from this article shall we

00:04:30.340 the risk Southport killer

00:04:36.500 Axel Rudakabana

00:04:38.640 posed to others

00:04:40.680 was toned down by professionals

00:04:42.360 for fear of being accused of racism

00:04:44.400 a report into the massacre claims

00:04:46.480 thanks anti-racism

00:04:47.520 thanks culture of anti-racism

00:04:49.360 thanks for that

00:04:51.380 that's very progressive isn't it

00:04:56.380 very very progressive

00:04:59.380 born in Wales to parents who fled Rwanda

00:05:04.380 he was enrolled at the Acorns School

00:05:07.380 a special referral unit in Lancashire

00:05:10.380 at the age of 13 after being expelled from mainstream education

00:05:13.380 for taking a knife into class

00:05:16.380 at 13

00:05:19.380 The head teacher of this Acorns place, Joanne Hodson, told the public inquiry that from the first day, she realised the teenager was, quote, very high risk, with a manner, quote, devoid of any remorse.

00:05:34.840 But when she tried to raise the risk he posed to others, Mrs Hodson said she was accused

00:05:43.780 by children's mental health worker Samantha Steed of quote, racially stereotyping Ruda

00:05:51.300 Kubana as, quote, a black boy with a knife, quote.

00:06:04.800 I mean, Mrs. Hudson told the inquiry that the accusation of racial profiling had effectively

00:06:13.300 shut me down.

00:06:14.660 Yeah, we'll do that.

00:06:16.200 Yeah.

00:06:16.420 because if you keep going with that

00:06:18.820 you just get called a bigot and a racist

00:06:21.180 and then you lose your job 1.00

00:06:22.160 Warning about the risk Ruda Cabana posed

00:06:29.740 which featured in a draft of his education, health and care plan

00:06:33.700 remained in the document

00:06:35.520 but parts were rewritten

00:06:37.020 such as a reference to his sinister internet use

00:06:42.540 being replaced with the word inappropriate

00:06:44.760 Like when this story first broke

00:06:50.840 Before we knew exactly his name

00:06:52.560 And what he looked like

00:06:53.660 They tried to characterise him as just a Welsh choir boy

00:06:56.760 Remember that?

00:07:02.100 Remember that?

00:07:03.120 Remember when the government tried for as long as possible

00:07:05.340 Not to release his name or image

00:07:06.800 For as long as possible, do you remember that?

00:07:11.520 Remember that?

00:07:14.760 So his internet use is simply inappropriate.

00:07:17.600 No more than that, inappropriate.

00:07:19.960 Inquiry chairman Sir Adrian Fulford

00:07:22.220 concluded that it was unwires of Ms. Steed

00:07:25.980 to raise issues of racial stereotyping.

00:07:28.920 Unwires.

00:07:30.680 Unwires.

00:07:34.220 Evil. Insane. Mad.

00:07:37.280 Mad too. Why? Why? Why would you?

00:07:41.500 Because he's black. 0.99

00:07:42.700 what the thinking of that 0.87

00:07:44.880 the anti-racism

00:07:47.460 he's black and even though he's

00:07:49.400 some sort of concern 0.71

00:07:51.400 serious concern 0.98

00:07:52.380 because he's black we have to 1.00

00:07:55.520 underplay it, play it down 0.87

00:07:57.000 why?

00:07:59.360 what sort of

00:07:59.860 it's disgusting isn't it

00:08:02.740 he was obviously 0.99

00:08:05.780 some sort of psycho right 0.82

00:08:07.180 from the age of 13

00:08:10.200 described as

00:08:12.020 Like, as soon as you meet him, on day one of meeting him, you realise he's devoid of human remorse.

00:08:18.120 What kind of...

00:08:22.700 While there was no suggestion, she made a direct accusation of racial stereotyping against Mrs. Hodson.

00:08:29.240 The fact that such a contentious topic was raised nevertheless served to close down, quote,

00:08:34.280 close down Mrs. Hodson, said Sir Adrian Rope.

00:08:39.020 he added that mrs hodson was raising a valid point about the need for a risk assessment

00:08:44.700 and this was quote another example of insufficient emphasis being placed on the risks that child

00:08:51.400 that child may present to others the inquiry into the 2024 murders concluded yesterday

00:08:56.360 that it was the catastrophic failures of ruda cabana's parents and other agencies which meant

00:09:02.960 that chances to prevent the attack were missed so adrian said if his parents had done quote what

00:09:08.640 they morally ought to have i.e. make it clear that you're dealing with a psycho here which

00:09:16.480 they didn't do repeatedly didn't do and even like defended him as much as possible and reported his

00:09:23.120 suspicious behavior suspicious behavior suspicious behavior getting terrorist manuals and buying the

00:09:31.800 elements to make ricin and naive suspicious behaviour and threatening them loads is completely

00:09:39.080 uncontrollable psycho if they had reported his suspicious behaviour he would not have been free

00:09:46.460 on that day of the attack the inquiry at liverpool town hall heard that the killer's autism had been

00:09:51.620 used as an excuse for his past behaviour while quote a merry-go-round quote of referrals and

00:09:57.560 assessments meant no agency understood how dangerous the teenager was at the conclusion

00:10:03.040 of his 760 page report into the attack so adrian called for the end of quote a culture

00:10:08.820 of agencies passing responsibility between each other no mention of why he or his family were in

00:10:14.940 the country at all why are we taking rwandans why should there be really hardly any rwandans in this

00:10:22.080 country especially ones that have been brutalized by that civil war and that genocide why how is

00:10:27.260 that how is that in our interest look over 700 pages over 750 pages but no mention of anything

00:10:38.800 like that of course of course no mention of anything like that that that's the root the

00:10:44.100 root the real reason this is an imported monster should never have been in this country his 0.91

00:10:50.660 parents and he should never ever ever have been near these islands 1.00

00:10:55.120 No mention of anything like that

00:11:00.380 Of course not

00:11:01.180 Of course not

00:11:02.120 No

00:11:03.060 Those he criticised included

00:11:12.680 Lancashire Police

00:11:14.060 The Government's Counter Terrorism Service

00:11:16.700 Prevent

00:11:17.180 Because of course Prevent aren't interested in actually doing stuff like this

00:11:20.680 Preventing something like this

00:11:22.320 They're much more interested in anyone that's right-leaning

00:11:28.300 Any radical thinking on the right

00:11:30.240 Okay, so he criticised the police

00:11:37.000 Prevent, various NHS health services

00:11:40.300 Mental health services

00:11:41.360 And the county council, among others

00:11:43.860 And the mum and dad, of course

00:11:46.700 Mum and Dad that raised

00:11:49.460 This

00:11:50.660 Absolute

00:11:52.540 Psycho monster

00:11:54.680 I find it difficult not to swear 0.94

00:11:58.620 Anyone who watches State of Politics

00:11:59.720 Knows I don't mind the odd swearer

00:12:02.440 I'm finding it very difficult not to swear right now

00:12:04.960 Not to say what I really think

00:12:07.180 He said

00:12:10.460 Sir Adrian who did this inquiry

00:12:12.740 Which doesn't talk about

00:12:15.040 the true nature of why this happened i.e that people like this shouldn't be in our country 0.99

00:12:21.760 should never have been in our country so adrian said this failure lies at the heart of why ruda

00:12:27.680 cabana was able to mount the attack despite so many warning signs of his capacity for fatal

00:12:33.680 violence now sir adrian has called for urgent reforms adding that he hopes this will mark a 0.90

00:12:38.880 a genuine turning point, no real, no real proper fools. Won't stop something like this 0.90

00:12:45.600 happening in the future whatsoever. He described Ruda Cabana as an aggressive, near total recluse

00:12:56.240 who bullied and threatened his family and unashamedly lied to officials. Right, yeah,

00:13:01.760 complete psycho, yeah, we get it. The inquiry revealed a pattern of mental health services

00:13:06.740 and social care treating the teenager's autism spectrum disorder as quote an excuse for his

00:13:13.280 behavior rather than seeing that in a ruda cabana's case this quote significantly increased the risk

00:13:19.320 that he posed so adrian said different agencies showed a scant regard and a lack of curiosity

00:13:25.740 over ruda cabana's internet usage quote i have no hesitation in concluding that the degrading

00:13:33.180 violent and misogynistic material that ruda cabana was viewing online contributed to and fed his

00:13:40.520 already unhealthy fascination with violence the inquiry heard a number of other concerning

00:13:44.800 instances which involved involved ruda cabana in december 2019 he carried out on a boy it doesn't

00:13:52.220 i think there's something misspelled there but he carried something out on a boy with a hockey stick

00:13:57.520 at the range high school in formby just months after he had been expelled for admitting carrying

00:14:03.960 a knife so adrian described this incident as a watershed moment and that it proved beyond doubt

00:14:10.220 that he was motivated by an uh by an ensuring desire to inflict severe harm on and possibly

00:14:20.380 kill another pupil in another serious incident in march 2022 lancashire police found ruda cabana

00:14:26.720 on a buds it must mean bus with a knife after he was reported missing so Adrian said this was the

00:14:35.500 most marked example of the consequences of poor information sharing I was about information

00:14:40.240 sharing was it information sharing is the problem here and is that really is that really the root

00:14:49.520 of this? Is it? Really? Prevent could have and should have done more, is that the root

00:15:01.980 of this? That the county council failed to share enough information? Shouldn't have been

00:15:14.980 in this country. We don't need them. It's not a positive for us. It's not in our national

00:15:26.060 interest.

00:15:34.800 Okay. If the teenager had been arrested, it would have likely led to his home being searched

00:15:40.660 and in the words of Sir Adrian

00:15:42.380 quote, critical information

00:15:43.660 such as the ricin seeds

00:15:45.500 and the terrorist manuals

00:15:46.940 he had downloaded

00:15:47.880 might have been uncovered.

00:15:53.460 But Ruda Cabana

00:15:54.480 was instead returned to his home

00:15:56.740 in Banks, West Lancashire

00:15:59.480 with no further criminal action taken.

00:16:02.580 Because you don't want to be racist, right?

00:16:04.120 You can't actually do anything

00:16:05.180 about someone like that

00:16:06.300 because you would be racist 0.98

00:16:07.840 because they're black skin. 0.96

00:16:08.620 Have you seen?

00:16:09.220 seen the melanin in his skin

00:16:11.320 so you can't do anything

00:16:12.680 you've just got to send him home, Scott Free 1.00

00:16:15.400 because he's black 1.00

00:16:17.200 Thanks Culture of Anti-Racism 1.00

00:16:24.180 Thank you for that

00:16:25.940 In response, Lancashire Constabulary's Chief Constable

00:16:30.900 Sasha Hatchett

00:16:32.940 in words reported by BBC News

00:16:34.760 said the force accepted that there was an opportunity

00:16:37.200 to arrest the killer that day

00:16:39.160 and added i am extremely sorry for this apology not accepted

00:16:45.800 apology not accepted not remotely are you kidding me

00:16:53.400 i did it hard not to swear i'll just move on so adrian said

00:16:57.560 that his parents reported their true level of knowledge

00:17:02.200 so he said had his parents reported their true level of knowledge to the authorities before

00:17:06.840 the attack he would have been undoubtedly have been taken into care or held in custody

00:17:12.680 because they realized he'd gone out of the house with knives

00:17:19.080 well they didn't do anything about that 0.99

00:17:23.400 you already know he's a complete psycho he's threatening to harm them or kill them all the time 0.85

00:17:27.400 Stark criticism was levelled against his father, Alphonse Rudacabana, who Sir Adrian said had 0.98

00:17:38.960 deliberately withheld information about his son's stash of deadly weapons.

00:17:46.860 Okay, alright. That's the story. That's one of the main things that's all over the front pages today.

00:17:57.400 I don't know why we need any Rwandans in this country. 1.00

00:18:01.940 Do we need any? 1.00

00:18:04.720 That's an imported massacre. 1.00

00:18:09.180 It should never, ever, ever have happened.

00:18:14.880 Information sharing.

00:18:16.060 If only we'd shared more information with each other.

00:18:20.760 No.

00:18:22.120 No.

00:18:22.400 Still

00:18:24.760 Still

00:18:25.780 The globalist 1.00

00:18:26.680 Multicultural

00:18:27.960 Multiracial view

00:18:29.480 Not a dent in it

00:18:31.960 As far as they're concerned

00:18:32.740 People like that

00:18:33.380 People like Lisa Nandy 0.90

00:18:34.440 Or whatever 1.00

00:18:34.840 It won't dent

00:18:37.880 Their world view at all

00:18:38.940 Will it

00:18:39.980 The murders of these girls

00:18:43.380 And the other ten

00:18:44.540 That were wounded

00:18:45.060 In this thing

00:18:45.700 Means nothing to those people

00:18:48.840 Does it

00:18:49.940 It means nothing to them

00:18:51.300 It won't pierce their world view

00:18:57.620 At all, will it?

00:18:59.560 They won't accept

00:19:00.120 If they hear somebody like me 1.00

00:19:01.780 Talking about Rwandans

00:19:04.400 They'll just immediately 1.00

00:19:06.100 They won't engage with that

00:19:07.320 They'll immediately flip it

00:19:09.060 To just I'm the problem

00:19:10.040 Or someone like me

00:19:10.700 Anyone that raises it

00:19:12.020 Talks about that

00:19:12.940 That we're the problem

00:19:15.860 Because they can't accept

00:19:18.640 The reality

00:19:20.140 That we've imported 0.99

00:19:22.160 Millions of people

00:19:25.760 Some of which

00:19:27.100 Will mean to do things like this

00:19:30.800 They can't and won't accept

00:19:37.380 That idea, that concept

00:19:39.580 Any responsibility for something like that

00:19:45.720 Alright, let's move on

00:19:47.020 The Metro

00:19:48.260 all right trump and the pope talk a little bit about trump and the pope there you go

00:19:57.820 trump versus the pope leo declares i don't i don't fear the president after donald's

00:20:04.420 extraordinary outburst so in a nutshell what this is

00:20:09.540 the pope who's an american actually he's the first american pope ever

00:20:17.820 He came out and criticised the war in Iran a bit

00:20:22.800 He said things like 0.54

00:20:23.820 There's another way of doing things

00:20:25.500 You know, classic Pope stuff

00:20:26.400 There's another way of doing

00:20:27.280 Being a conciliatory

00:20:28.980 There's other ways of doing things, he said

00:20:31.460 One of the things he said

00:20:32.540 That Trump or the Trump administration

00:20:36.200 Thought they were omnipotent

00:20:38.860 In some senses 0.99

00:20:40.340 And that's sort of foolish 0.93

00:20:43.900 I'm paraphrasing now 0.96

00:20:45.280 But he used the word omnipotent

00:20:46.720 like the false omnipotence you think you can do anything and you can't sort of thing so he

00:20:52.140 criticised he criticised the pope donald didn't like that and so he did quite a long true social

00:20:58.200 media criticising the pope back saying like you're just doing a terrible job you're doing the worst

00:21:03.020 job um so yeah a little bit of a a spat between a little bit of words thrown at each other between

00:21:11.280 the pope and the donald and then we'll move over the sample thing we've done 20 20 minutes on that

00:21:20.960 so let's find the picture there's a picture oh there you go there's the picture this is all over

00:21:26.720 the news today donald trump posted a picture on an ai generated image which he quite swiftly

00:21:35.840 deleted of him there you can see that image in fact let's find another front page where there's

00:21:39.920 It's got a bigger, bigger picture of it.

00:21:42.780 There you go, look, there's a bigger one.

00:21:44.860 The Daily Star says, 0.60

00:21:47.120 You're not the messiah, you're a very naughty boy.

00:21:50.020 Obviously, a quote from the life of Brian, isn't it?

00:21:55.640 Monty Python's life of Brian.

00:21:58.260 They've just said that.

00:21:59.580 So this is the image here.

00:22:00.720 You can see it quite clearly there.

00:22:02.980 Trump posted that.

00:22:05.640 Now, the furore around it,

00:22:09.920 Is that some people, Christians, some Catholics actually because of this spat with the Pope

00:22:17.120 Are saying that's sort of at best in bad taste and at worst blasphemous

00:22:24.320 So let me just tell you exactly my opinion on it before we go on

00:22:28.600 Because everyone's got their biases on this right

00:22:31.520 That's what I say about when you read the news

00:22:34.000 Remember you're just reading the bias of the writer and the editors

00:22:39.460 And I'm the same

00:22:41.640 It's impossible not to have one, right?

00:22:44.860 So anyway, my opinion on this is

00:22:46.460 I don't think it's blasphemous

00:22:49.860 I don't really believe in blasphemy

00:22:51.360 I'm glad we live in a world where

00:22:54.800 We don't have blasphemy laws

00:22:56.700 However, it is a bit in bad taste 1.00

00:23:02.240 I'll accept that

00:23:03.140 I'll accept that, right?

00:23:05.480 If you're offended by it

00:23:06.900 You're a Christian and or Catholic

00:23:08.620 and you're offended by it I can see it so there you go that's my opinion 0.71

00:23:15.140 because when you go down the the road of blasphemy you quite quite quickly end up

00:23:22.640 with sort of a an ISIS type situation where you can't do or say loads and loads and loads of

00:23:28.000 things otherwise you're guilty of blasphemy like you got you can't play music with lyrics

00:23:32.120 you can't depict Jesus ever you can't depict any human figure you can't play football because it's

00:23:38.220 blasphemous okay so one of the great things about christianity is that it is relaxed usually in that

00:23:44.040 way nowadays of course in the past there were blasphemies but okay so that's one thing right

00:23:49.340 it's okay to depict jesus in south park mel gibson make a film about jesus it's great that that's

00:23:57.760 okay okay but if you depict yourself as jesus in some way again i don't think that's blasphemous

00:24:06.020 But I'll accept it's in bad taste

00:24:07.700 I'll accept that other people think that's in bad taste

00:24:09.920 Sure, okay

00:24:10.800 So that's my opinion

00:24:11.640 That's where I am with that

00:24:12.360 Okay, right

00:24:12.800 Take it or leave it

00:24:14.540 Okay

00:24:14.840 Trump said

00:24:17.120 Trump said

00:24:18.880 He didn't think it was Jesus

00:24:20.380 He thought it was an image of him as a doctor

00:24:22.760 That's what Trump said

00:24:23.820 He said, oh, I've deleted it

00:24:26.500 Because I've realised people don't like it

00:24:28.120 And think it's in bad taste

00:24:29.020 So I've deleted it

00:24:29.900 But I thought

00:24:31.320 It was an image of me as a doctor

00:24:36.020 i'm just helping people um because i i help people okay all right well so there

00:24:46.980 and i like to think i don't suffer from tds before we go on because whenever you criticize

00:24:51.620 trump ever someone says in the chat or whatever someone says oh god tds i like to think i don't

00:24:59.540 suffer from tds i like to think i i back up trump a fair bit not necessarily on remigration or on

00:25:06.580 the epstein thing a couple other bits and bobs but largely trump's done trump's done a great job

00:25:13.180 compared to jay biden or kamala harris what kamala harris would have done in loads and loads of

00:25:17.600 different ways trump's done loads of things for america which which are great in my opinion

00:25:21.860 okay on this one on this little data point i don't buy that he's a doctor in that image or

00:25:29.040 That he even thought he was

00:25:30.260 Okay, let's get into it a bit

00:25:32.160 He's got the divine light of healing in his hands

00:25:37.020 To me, it has obvious overtones and connotations of Jesus

00:25:43.280 How could Trump have really thought

00:25:48.800 Oh, I'm just a doctor here

00:25:51.460 Of course there's a story of

00:25:54.100 There's various stories in the Gospels, aren't there

00:25:56.120 Of Jesus curing people

00:25:57.240 What is it, Bartimaeus of Jericho

00:26:03.400 Who's a man who's born blind

00:26:05.800 And Jesus gets some mud

00:26:07.960 Is it mud and saliva?

00:26:10.040 He gets mud

00:26:10.660 And smears it on the guy's face

00:26:13.900 And then he has to wash himself in some way

00:26:17.240 And miraculously he can say

00:26:18.840 It's one of the miracles 0.73

00:26:19.580 Jesus cures the blind

00:26:21.420 There's another example when he cures the blind

00:26:25.500 there's a few examples in the gospels where jesus sort of miraculously cures people okay all right

00:26:32.800 okay well he's got like the divine light of healing in his hands the connotations the

00:26:40.480 overtones of that not to mention the robes obviously the robes you could argue i didn't

00:26:45.920 know that i didn't know that was a reference to jesus but the divine light and also in this image

00:26:50.900 you can't really see it here we can only just about see it at the top there there's like a

00:26:57.120 divine heavenly light behind him and they look a bit like um u.s soldiers or servicemen but again

00:27:05.860 there's overtones connotations of uh like angelic hordes like angels and things behind him not

00:27:13.520 exactly halo not exactly a halo but again a divine light behind his head and again if you know

00:27:22.720 anything anything most child most children even would know have seen some christian art some

00:27:30.800 christian iconography the overtones are clearly there i mean clearly how trump could see that

00:27:38.280 image and think oh that's just to do i'm just depicted as a doctor there no more than that

00:27:43.300 I'm just a doctor

00:27:43.980 As if anyone ever talks about Trump

00:27:46.280 In terms of being a doctor

00:27:48.180 Or doctor-like

00:27:49.280 Ever

00:27:51.200 No, I've never ever heard that

00:27:52.460 Ever

00:27:52.660 Has anyone

00:27:53.120 Trump likes to be associated with

00:27:56.600 Doctors in some way

00:27:59.260 The Hippocratic Oath

00:28:00.920 It's quite obviously an image of him

00:28:04.680 In a

00:28:08.680 Jesus-adjacent role

00:28:11.560 Or image

00:28:12.360 Isn't it?

00:28:12.880 I mean to me that is

00:28:13.780 alright

00:28:14.420 as I say 0.61

00:28:15.440 I don't care 0.63

00:28:16.080 I don't think blasphemy 1.00

00:28:17.240 is a good thing 1.00

00:28:17.840 but if you find it

00:28:18.520 in bad taste

00:28:19.000 fine

00:28:19.320 I empathise

00:28:20.300 I just

00:28:22.560 I don't buy

00:28:23.240 that anyone

00:28:24.040 even Trump himself

00:28:25.040 thought it was

00:28:25.780 it wasn't that

00:28:26.560 I mean before now

00:28:28.760 Trump's

00:28:29.280 posted an image

00:28:30.660 online of

00:28:31.960 like an AI image

00:28:33.560 or a photoshopped image

00:28:34.700 of him as the Pope

00:28:35.820 do you remember that?

00:28:36.480 like last year

00:28:36.960 I think it was

00:28:37.580 when he said

00:28:38.700 I should be the Pope

00:28:39.560 after I'm president

00:28:40.280 maybe I should be the Pope

00:28:41.280 I could be Pope

00:28:43.820 And there's a picture of him as the Pope

00:28:47.420 With the full papal regalia and Trump's face

00:28:51.800 And he posted that online

00:28:53.140 So it's not like Trump hasn't done something similar to that before

00:28:58.680 Okay

00:29:00.120 Okay

00:29:02.740 That's in the news a lot today

00:29:05.320 Is it just a distraction?

00:29:07.900 Is the whole thing a distraction?

00:29:09.300 well if it is if it was designed to be a distraction from the from the beginning by

00:29:14.460 by trump and the white house then it's worked hasn't it he doesn't want people talking about

00:29:19.200 the straits of hormuz for at least one news cycle

00:29:21.420 well perfectly then because they are largely distracted by it not entirely of course but

00:29:27.960 all right let's go back to the headlines the daily express it's a good paper

00:29:31.860 pope's pope says there's a better way

00:29:34.940 Okay, the Southport thing

00:29:39.160 The Pope and Trump

00:29:43.140 The Southport thing

00:29:46.180 The Southport thing

00:29:48.280 The Pope and Southport

00:29:50.880 The Pope and Southport

00:29:52.720 The Pope and Southport

00:29:54.440 Okay, you get it

00:29:55.100 That's what all the front pages are going with

00:29:57.960 Hey guys, don't talk about Edmund de Rothschild in France

00:30:04.220 getting uh investigated for corruption yeah yeah just talk about trump

00:30:08.660 and and and the southpaw thing but don't talk about uh re-migration or the insanity of open

00:30:17.780 borders yeah yeah yeah cool all right they're the front pages should we move on should we see if we

00:30:26.140 can talk about some other things we had a poll didn't we harry bring up the poll on my screen

00:30:32.500 here make it so oh there you go thank you all right we asked you guys this

00:30:43.300 morning what do you think Trump was depicting himself as Jesus or a doctor

00:30:53.200 That's what we asked you guys

00:30:54.640 Edging up towards 900 votes

00:30:58.060 84%

00:31:00.260 You agree with me?

00:31:02.920 84% of you say Jesus

00:31:04.700 And 16% of you say a doctor

00:31:08.180 Yeah, I'm very much into art history

00:31:12.800 At undergrad I studied the ancient world

00:31:16.600 And late antiquity

00:31:17.840 Which is the early Christian period

00:31:20.300 very very very interested in in art history and you go to a museum or an art gallery in italy or

00:31:28.540 something many many many many many many paintings you'll see are in that vein

00:31:35.300 it's it's clearly got connotations of the 16 of you there probably gonna have a go at me for

00:31:44.400 having tds but it just simply is the case so a complete win for the the jesus camp there

00:31:51.960 the doctor camp versus the jesus camp jesus camp wins all right all right that's the poll there we

00:31:59.980 go an overwhelming win should we have a look at the website should have a quick look at the well

00:32:06.660 i've got the the link here let's have a quick look at the price of oil this morning just in

00:32:10.860 of itself for its own sake oh it's a hundred under a hundred dollars so they're not screeching

00:32:14.700 about it west texas down to 97 dollars a barrel brent down to 96 so the legacy corporate mainstream

00:32:26.500 media take a day off from screeching about it all right we've got lebanon enters talks with

00:32:38.180 Israel but with no cards to play

00:32:40.020 Yeah 1.00

00:32:40.280 Their only thing is to say

00:32:43.760 Just stop, can you please stop 1.00

00:32:45.060 Lebanon 1.00

00:32:48.160 Against the will 0.91

00:32:50.120 Of a big chunk of 1.00

00:32:51.520 Lebanese people, a big chunk

00:32:53.400 Someone like Faras included

00:32:55.000 Lebanon have harboured

00:32:57.740 Hezbollah 0.99

00:32:58.560 Haven't they 0.99

00:33:01.100 Again, against the will

00:33:03.900 And wishes, profoundly 1.00

00:33:05.980 Of a big chunk of Lebanese people 1.00

00:33:08.100 there you go that is the reality and israel taking this opportunity to try and entirely 1.00

00:33:13.220 wipe them out once and for all probably very difficult it's more of an idea isn't it 0.57

00:33:21.060 hezbollah

00:33:24.340 you wipe out the idea probably not vance accuses iran of economic quote economic terrorism in

00:33:32.740 strait of hormuz as u.s blockade comes into effect so that's the that's the other thing

00:33:37.140 to talk about today a big thing the blockade so then they haven't sailed many warships up through

00:33:44.340 the strait and up into the persian gulf the wider persian gulf but on the the the outside the gulf

00:33:50.580 of aden's side of the straits of homo is the outside of it if you like um us warships quite

00:33:56.740 a few something in the order of 15 of them are blockading that nothing in or out at least without

00:34:01.220 there say so particularly Iranian ships so here's an interesting thing at least before the US bombed

00:34:08.880 Karg Island Iran was still completely selling crude oil this whole time well at least before

00:34:17.480 the Karg Island thing they were still selling crude oil making revenues that way well that's

00:34:25.400 what this blockade is here by the US stopping that trying to pinch that off entirely well

00:34:31.000 they will they will have done there's some um some footage revealed yesterday of a u.s warship

00:34:38.460 and an iranian warship i didn't think they had any left apparently have got at least one

00:34:41.860 i've got a few left um sailing very close to each other and the iranians sort of threatening to

00:34:49.980 shoot at the u.s one but but didn't no fire was actually exchanged yet can i imagine it is would

00:34:57.960 be absolutely a death sentence if you're an iranian vessel and you try and fire on a u.s. vessel 0.93

00:35:05.080 you've then got moments left to live right it's like it would be it'll certainly be a suicidal

00:35:09.720 thing in fact let's have a look at on itv news

00:35:17.160 to can play that game vance accuses iran of economic terrorism to can play that game you're

00:35:23.320 to complain Bobby's got a brand new swing Harry you love Bobby Brown don't you Bobby Brown's one

00:35:30.520 of your favorite recording artists of all time isn't he uh I mean I know of him I'm joking mate

00:35:37.060 don't worry about it I'm joking it's 80s 90s stuff I wouldn't expect you to know him at all

00:35:41.600 anyway sorry that was okay do you complain again sorry I just see that and that song just

00:35:49.120 immediately ping is in my head now so all right let's get a bit more serious about this let's

00:35:54.920 stop talking about bobby brown shall we look ships they're both blockading it and the americans won't

00:36:02.980 let um won't let iranian ships through so choking them off economically because it's one of the last

00:36:11.760 things it's one of the last things iran's got for their economy for their wider economy is

00:36:18.520 exporting oil

00:36:19.600 other than that

00:36:21.140 their

00:36:21.420 their economy

00:36:24.180 is completely

00:36:24.920 completely ruined

00:36:26.060 it's like 0.93

00:36:26.380 so if America

00:36:27.860 you know

00:36:29.640 closed that loophole

00:36:30.800 as it were

00:36:31.700 Iran 0.96

00:36:34.080 has got nothing left 1.00

00:36:35.960 right

00:36:36.260 they've sort of got nothing left

00:36:37.340 at that point

00:36:37.960 alright

00:36:42.520 what else have we got

00:36:43.560 so that's the big thing

00:36:44.380 I thought there might be

00:36:45.500 actually

00:36:45.900 naval engagements

00:36:47.040 yesterday they haven't been so far i thought we might see u.s ships taking incoming one way or

00:36:54.800 another whether it's whether whether that's missiles or drones and whether they're shot

00:37:00.900 out of the sky before they actually impact the u.s ships or not i thought we would see something

00:37:04.960 along those lines not yet not yesterday not so far u.s blockade of strait will have widespread

00:37:12.220 consequences Iran's president warns all right well we'll see won't we we'll see lots of words

00:37:20.760 we'll see what actually happens couple stories about reform here Sky News going with Sky News

00:37:26.100 Nigel Farage faces big challenge on the path to power Beth Rigby incredible insight from Beth

00:37:35.660 Rigby. The political titan that is Beth Rigby. Such insult. The rapier-like insight of Beth

00:37:48.180 Rigby. We're not North Korea, Farage says, irritated as he's questioned on promises reform

00:37:57.140 hasn't kept. I think the main one is council tax, isn't it? Reform said they would cut

00:38:03.660 council tax loads and then when they have been in control of councils which i have they're

00:38:07.840 completely in control of i think nine and in partial you know in partial control of

00:38:13.560 two or three more um but nigel says well no just because local council has put it on their leaflets

00:38:21.720 it's not necessarily it wasn't necessarily full reform policy it was just what other people put

00:38:29.440 on their leaflets and when you get and when you get into power council power the reality of it

00:38:34.480 is different you can't always do what you promise um yes and no i mean nigel did himself there's

00:38:39.740 clips of him saying we will reduce council tax and then once they got into power they haven't but

00:38:45.320 also to give him some credit not to just completely dunk on him unnecessarily completely

00:38:49.620 also that is sort of a fair point you can say something have a policy mean to do it

00:38:54.720 And for whatever reason, can't.

00:38:58.560 That is reality.

00:39:00.680 Sometimes.

00:39:01.660 So, alright.

00:39:03.100 But lots of people are accusing them.

00:39:05.120 Because reform get it.

00:39:06.220 They get it from the right, by the likes of us and Restore, don't they?

00:39:09.360 And they also get it in the ear from the left.

00:39:11.500 Everyone else on the left of them.

00:39:15.280 You know, like most people that...

00:39:16.760 The vast majority of people that criticise reform and nudge are doing it from the left, aren't they?

00:39:22.500 So they'll point out,

00:39:23.400 Oh you said you'd lower council tax and you haven't

00:39:25.940 You've actually raised it if anything in some places 0.90

00:39:27.880 It's a fair criticism

00:39:31.840 But also a little bit unfair

00:39:33.820 Because

00:39:35.080 It's one thing to want to do something

00:39:37.960 To have a policy

00:39:38.860 Not always possible to actually carry it out

00:39:42.860 In reality when you

00:39:44.540 Realise what is required

00:39:46.720 Alright, alright

00:39:49.360 Let's have a look

00:39:51.640 There's another story on the mail online

00:39:53.120 Oh look, Harry and Meghan are in Australia

00:39:55.100 Oh yeah, how good

00:39:56.600 I don't care though about that at all

00:39:58.740 I don't care about that remotely

00:40:00.260 Alright, something about Kate Garroway 0.56

00:40:05.560 Could not care less

00:40:07.120 Could not care less

00:40:07.920 Here's a story in the Express 0.98

00:40:09.820 Migrants learn script for fake backstory 0.95

00:40:13.740 To guarantee UK asylum 1.00

00:40:15.560 Yeah, we know

00:40:16.380 Yeah, thanks Corporate Legacy Mainstream Media

00:40:18.880 Thanks for that

00:40:19.720 Yeah, we know

00:40:20.500 That's been the case since the beginning

00:40:22.800 Of course they do, of course they do

00:40:24.160 The mainstream just sort of talking about this stuff now

00:40:30.320 The tactic known as nationality shopping 0.66

00:40:33.040 Lets migrants claim origins from high grant countries

00:40:36.860 Such as Eritrea or Iran 1.00

00:40:38.780 Yeah, you're one of these illegal invaders 1.00

00:40:41.440 Every single one of those is a criminal by definition 0.53

00:40:45.680 You can't just break into a country

00:40:47.280 You can't just cross the international borders

00:40:48.800 like that without papers without permission and stuff without a visa etc etc without a passport

00:40:55.060 that's illegal so regardless of anything else they've done or go on to do by definition every

00:41:00.060 single one of these small boat crossing people is a criminal they're in an invader

00:41:04.880 from wherever they are they get told if you claim you're from particular places and you claim

00:41:15.720 that you're the victim of various injustices you're far far far far more likely to avoid

00:41:24.780 ever being deported you're far far far more likely to get benefits and quicker so if you

00:41:32.100 say you're from iraq or eritrea or iran a couple of places because you could be from anywhere right

00:41:39.640 It could be from Azerbaijan.

00:41:40.740 It could be from someone that's 100% safe.

00:41:44.600 There's no reason for you to have ever left your country 0.98

00:41:46.760 other than that you're just an economic migrant 1.00

00:41:48.640 and want to sponge off us. 1.00

00:41:50.400 If you say you're from one of the hotspots,

00:41:52.800 especially from one of the countries

00:41:54.360 where our bleeding-heart liberal establishment

00:41:57.600 think we've got some sort of moral responsibility for,

00:42:01.200 like Afghanistan or something,

00:42:02.920 you're much, much more likely to be granted asylum,

00:42:05.420 if not permanent residency,

00:42:07.300 And all the benefits that go along with that

00:42:10.240 Yeah, so they just say

00:42:11.860 Oh, I'm actually from Afghanistan

00:42:14.620 And I'm persecuted there for homosexuality or something

00:42:22.020 I'm a Christian

00:42:23.660 I'm an Iraqi Christian

00:42:25.540 And I'm being persecuted there 0.96

00:42:27.980 You can't send me back because they'll kill me 0.78

00:42:29.580 It's complete lies 0.97

00:42:30.660 Complete lies 0.67

00:42:31.840 You're actually just from Jordan or whatever 0.98

00:42:37.060 I don't know, go anywhere, anywhere else

00:42:38.540 Just make it up

00:42:40.200 Oh yeah, you can be like 25

00:42:42.160 But claim you're a kid, claim you're under 18 0.99

00:42:44.360 Just endless liars 0.95

00:42:45.720 Anything you need to say 0.91

00:42:47.420 To be let in and given loads and loads of money

00:42:50.960 Basically

00:42:51.520 Yeah, we know

00:42:53.660 Thanks The Express for reporting on that

00:42:57.220 Yeah, we know

00:42:57.740 Everyone who isn't 0.99

00:43:01.340 A child

00:43:03.220 Anyone who hasn't

00:43:04.880 Had their head in the sand for the last few years

00:43:07.080 Knows this already

00:43:08.260 Yeah, that's what they do

00:43:10.680 Yeah, they're chancers 1.00

00:43:11.860 They're criminals 1.00

00:43:12.960 They'll say and do anything for gibbs 1.00

00:43:15.080 Yeah 1.00

00:43:18.020 Alright

00:43:21.720 Alright

00:43:26.140 Let's have a look at

00:43:27.380 On this day in history, shall we?

00:43:29.640 We're getting towards the top of the hour

00:43:30.800 Shall we have a look at

00:43:32.740 Down through the centuries

00:43:34.300 It was on this day in history, April the 14th, what happened of note?

00:43:39.280 Alright, so on this day, in the year 1865, Honest Abe, the Illinois rail splitter, President

00:43:50.120 Abraham Lincoln was shot in the head, shot in the back of the head, by John Wilkes Booth

00:43:54.000 at Ford's Theatre in Washington DC.

00:43:56.720 He dies a day later.

00:43:58.860 And there's a drawing depicting that.

00:44:00.820 Harry

00:44:04.520 On Epox

00:44:07.820 Actually on my own channel

00:44:10.840 History Bro

00:44:12.080 Check that out

00:44:12.740 Everything's free on that

00:44:13.780 Everything's free on History Bro

00:44:16.100 The very first video I ever made

00:44:18.500 Something like seven years ago

00:44:19.800 It's got to be knocking eight years ago now

00:44:21.300 Certainly seven years ago

00:44:22.540 The very first video

00:44:24.020 History Bro ever produced

00:44:25.880 Was on the American Civil War

00:44:29.260 absolutely fascinated by the American Civil War

00:44:32.040 fascinated by all the characters in it on both sides

00:44:35.300 of course fascinated by Lincoln

00:44:37.220 so there's all sorts of content

00:44:40.820 I know all about Abraham Lincoln and his murder

00:44:45.180 in a fair amount of detail

00:44:47.640 all about John Wilkes Booth and his gang

00:44:50.640 who he was

00:44:52.200 he was a confederate, a failed

00:44:55.760 a failed confederate, a failed actor

00:44:59.540 in a number of ways um and america the union mr lincoln's union had won the civil war basically

00:45:08.580 won the civil war not long before at all and john wilkes booth felt like he had to revenge

00:45:16.660 what had been done to his country the south so crept up behind lincoln while he was sitting in a

00:45:26.180 sitting in a box at the theatre

00:45:31.420 and just shot him point blank in the back of the head. 0.99

00:45:34.580 It's a very small gun. 0.97

00:45:35.440 I think, was it a Derringer?

00:45:36.840 It's a very small bore pistol,

00:45:39.500 but Lincoln didn't die immediately,

00:45:42.080 even though he shot a point blank range

00:45:43.560 right in the back of the head.

00:45:45.220 The ball went through the back of his head

00:45:46.600 and lodged behind one of his eyes.

00:45:48.120 It's a terrible injury.

00:45:48.920 He didn't die for a while.

00:45:50.020 He never regained consciousness.

00:45:52.640 They took him to a house nearby,

00:45:54.100 laid him on the bed,

00:45:55.040 and he was still breathing.

00:45:56.180 For all night, more or less all night

00:45:58.620 Then eventually he died

00:46:00.500 Okay 0.91

00:46:03.040 Some Americans

00:46:05.260 I think razor fist

00:46:07.720 And this isn't a proper razor fist 0.99

00:46:09.060 But some Americans

00:46:10.560 Hate Lincoln

00:46:12.480 Don't they?

00:46:13.720 Think he was a tyrant

00:46:16.640 Because he

00:46:18.940 Suspended habeas corpus

00:46:21.060 In a time of war

00:46:21.900 Some people hate Lincoln

00:46:23.620 many many other americans and i must admit i'm much more in this camp

00:46:28.800 i think he was one of the greatest presidents

00:46:31.000 he was a great man in various various ways in many many ways

00:46:36.640 i'm much more in that camp much more in that camp

00:46:39.600 i think he was i think he was dealt a very very very difficult political hand

00:46:45.660 it wasn't like everything was hunky dory president lincoln comes to power and

00:46:50.420 just starts a civil war out of nowhere what that's not how it went

00:46:53.380 He was handed a political situation

00:46:56.400 Where a civil war was going to happen

00:46:58.700 I think he's much more a great man

00:47:04.700 Than an evil tyrant

00:47:05.920 I can see the arguments on the other side

00:47:07.660 It's not like he's perfect

00:47:09.160 But anyway, that's me

00:47:10.820 Take it or leave it

00:47:11.980 There you go, alright

00:47:13.020 The Titanic

00:47:15.300 The Titanic sinks on this day

00:47:17.660 Well, it sinks tomorrow

00:47:18.540 But it hit the iceberg today

00:47:19.800 There you go, the Titanic

00:47:20.960 The world's largest ocean liner at the time

00:47:22.720 hits an iceberg off newfoundland and sinks in the early hours of april the 15th the titanic

00:47:29.280 of course another fascinating thing when i was younger at some point

00:47:34.060 i was quite young 18 or so like i think a lot of history nerds do go through a phase of deciding

00:47:42.440 you want to know everything about the titanic again i had i think i mentioned it before i had

00:47:47.160 a child's book just called disasters double page spread of the titanic so being aware of it ever

00:47:52.120 since I was a small, small child.

00:47:53.960 Some people are absolutely obsessed with the Titanic, aren't they?

00:47:58.740 Some people, it's like they can't stop reading about it in their...

00:48:03.060 I find it interesting, but I've just moved on from it these days.

00:48:05.700 Anyway, it was on the 14th and the 15th of April that that happened,

00:48:10.560 in the year 1812.

00:48:11.780 In the year 1914, Dr. Harry Plotz isolates the bacteria

00:48:15.140 that causes typhus fever at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.

00:48:18.540 Very interesting for the

00:48:20.560 Important for the

00:48:21.800 History of medicine

00:48:23.080 Typhus fever

00:48:24.820 Terrible, terrible thing

00:48:26.360 The accounts of typhus

00:48:29.700 Throughout history

00:48:31.740 Are

00:48:34.200 A terrible

00:48:35.640 Ravaging disease

00:48:36.980 Absolutely

00:48:37.540 Monstrous

00:48:38.960 Okay

00:48:39.200 On this day in 1935

00:48:42.060 Black Sunday dust storm

00:48:43.620 Ravages the US

00:48:44.580 North West

00:48:45.300 Sorry, not North West

00:48:46.560 Sorry

00:48:46.780 it was much more in the central and south wasn't it 0.97

00:48:48.820 ravages the US Midwest 0.88

00:48:50.240 leading to the region being named the Dust Bowl

00:48:53.380 so whenever you read about the Great Depression

00:48:56.340 at some point you'll

00:48:58.780 come up against the Dust Bowl

00:49:00.960 everywhere from sort of Colorado down to Texas

00:49:04.120 big parts of the Midwest

00:49:05.700 combination of drought

00:49:08.220 and some agricultural practices

00:49:11.700 a perfect storm of various things

00:49:14.140 meant that there was just giant dust storms

00:49:17.020 and the quote unquote dust bowl

00:49:19.060 right in the middle of the depression

00:49:20.980 well towards the end of the depression

00:49:22.220 but the last thing a lot of poor people needed

00:49:25.520 in the midwest

00:49:26.340 was some sort of terrible drought and dust bowl

00:49:28.620 okay that happened

00:49:32.900 on this day in 1981

00:49:34.380 the first space shuttle Columbia

00:49:36.620 returns to earth after two days and six hours in space

00:49:39.260 ah the space shuttle

00:49:40.800 extremely disappointed and angry with mr obama when he decided to cancel the space shuttle

00:49:47.760 had a few years left in because it's all canceled now there are no more space shuttles going up

00:49:52.420 they're done that's a thing of the past now they had a few more years in them yet i think

00:49:57.380 they could have made new ones even but obama shut all that down

00:50:01.540 because he hates america which are why

00:50:08.400 In 2003

00:50:12.220 On this day

00:50:14.460 The Human Genome Project is completed

00:50:16.220 With 99% of the human genome sequenced

00:50:18.600 To an accuracy of 99.99%

00:50:20.820 Human Genome Project

00:50:22.460 Very interesting

00:50:23.740 Sequencing the human DNA

00:50:26.220 Basically

00:50:26.820 They can do it much more quickly now

00:50:29.520 Much much more quickly

00:50:30.740 I think you can pay and have your personal DNA mapped

00:50:33.900 Now

00:50:34.960 It doesn't take years and millions and millions and millions of pounds

00:50:38.160 they can just do it i mean it still takes a while it still costs a fair bit but

00:50:41.520 there you go fascinating stuff all right should we look at the rumble rents and super chats

00:50:49.700 let's do that that's the show what have we got here rumble rents and super chats let me do that

00:50:55.960 so i can see the left hand side of my screen all right and in at number one still

00:51:04.580 reigning defending undisputed champion of bosho rubble rants global church history

00:51:11.820 comes in at quarter past seven in the morning brilliant stuff you say let me quickly read this

00:51:22.220 you say uh yeah i saw this earlier so you've mentioned three things that happened on this day

00:51:28.240 two of them i know about in extraordinary detail and the other one i know nothing about

00:51:31.980 so there you go, the first one you say

00:51:34.300 today in 53 BC, Octavian

00:51:36.560 Augustus, the first

00:51:38.520 Emperor Augustus, Octavian

00:51:40.400 took command for the first

00:51:42.580 time at Forum Galorum

00:51:44.540 against Mark Antony, that's part of

00:51:46.700 the Mutina

00:51:48.500 or Mutina, I've heard it pronounced both ways

00:51:50.380 the Mutina campaign

00:51:51.480 where Mark Antony

00:51:54.820 because Mark Antony

00:51:56.640 and Octavian were

00:51:58.160 nominally on the same side, they were in the

00:52:00.260 cesarean camp right they were both arch cesareans mark antony was sort of was one of caesar's first

00:52:09.300 captains if you like that's the way of putting it one of his most senior generals rather and

00:52:14.520 octavian is the heir is caesar's heir is his grandnephew and he was after caesar's death

00:52:20.020 became his actual legal heir so they weren't supposed to be on the same side

00:52:23.580 they end up fighting each other anyway and then making peace and then fighting each other again

00:52:31.720 yes the civil wars after caesar died um much even more complicated than the civil wars

00:52:38.300 that caesar had with pompey and the senate they're even more complicated there's two periods of civil

00:52:43.220 war there caesar versus pompey caesar wins that gets assassinated then there's more civil wars

00:52:49.600 doesn't end until

00:52:52.340 the Battle of Axiom when Octavian

00:52:54.460 Caesar

00:52:55.160 finally beats

00:52:58.700 Mark Antony in a naval engagement

00:53:00.460 at Axiom

00:53:01.240 when's that?

00:53:03.100 31 BC or 27 BC?

00:53:06.380 31 BC

00:53:07.380 so it takes more than 10 years

00:53:10.440 alright

00:53:14.400 so I know a vast amount about that

00:53:16.400 i don't suppose you think i've got loads of long-form content about augustus and octavian

00:53:24.880 oh yeah it's all there oh yeah consider signing up as little as five pound a month bronze team

00:53:30.560 membership let's do it you're doing it do it stop okay the next one you say i don't know anything

00:53:39.720 about again you out history bro'd me there bro you say in 966 duke mexico the first of poland

00:53:48.280 converted to christianity if you say so i don't know anything about that i'm afraid i'm afraid

00:53:54.080 don't know much about 10th century poland beyond the broadest sweeps

00:53:59.400 gotta be honest with you the other one though i know tons about the last one you say there is

00:54:06.500 In the year 1471

00:54:08.680 Edward IV won at Barnet

00:54:11.040 It's literally the last epochs I put out last Sunday

00:54:19.080 I'm doing a whole series about the Wars of the Roses at the moment

00:54:22.800 That is the reign of King Henry VI

00:54:26.980 Lancastrian

00:54:28.660 And him getting deposed by Edward IV

00:54:33.240 The son of York

00:54:34.080 This son of York

00:54:35.480 So many back and forths, if you've been watching Epochs

00:54:40.300 The 180s and flips of fortune

00:54:44.760 The vicissitudes of fortune

00:54:46.540 In the Wars of the Roses are incredible, remarkable

00:54:50.420 They keep flipping 180

00:54:53.960 One side or the other

00:54:55.460 Keeps winning what looks like a total victory

00:54:58.660 But then it's just not

00:54:59.680 Anyway, at that one

00:55:01.460 Edward IV

00:55:03.860 son of

00:55:05.480 the killed Richard Duke of York

00:55:08.480 now King Edward IV

00:55:10.900 finally beats

00:55:12.640 his own cousin

00:55:14.480 Warwick

00:55:16.220 the Kingmaker

00:55:17.020 the Earl of Warwick

00:55:18.360 at a battle in Barnet

00:55:19.900 because the Yorkists had won so thoroughly

00:55:22.560 that they started turning on themselves

00:55:24.380 that's low resolution

00:55:26.280 if you want it in high resolution

00:55:27.840 it's all on Epoch

00:55:29.540 in the end

00:55:30.160 the Yorkists started fighting themselves

00:55:32.280 the king versus Warwick the kingmaker

00:55:36.500 Warwick the kingmaker lost

00:55:39.200 and got himself killed

00:55:40.560 and his brother

00:55:41.800 Northumberland

00:55:43.780 Lord Wontagoo

00:55:45.940 they got killed at the Battle of Barnet

00:55:47.800 Edward goes on quite soon after that

00:55:51.020 to have the final final showdown

00:55:53.220 with the remaining Lancastrians

00:55:54.640 and Margaret of Anjou 1.00

00:55:55.960 the bad queen

00:55:57.460 at Tewkesbury

00:55:58.700 and Edward wins there as well

00:56:02.280 lops the head off all the remaining Lancastrian notables end of story

00:57:32.240 twice in my early 20s attempted it and i had the same thing it's like oh it's too is it's too lame 0.60

00:57:39.000 and gay basically it's too pretentious i you i think you need for me i feel like to be a poet 0.87

00:57:46.880 you have to have sort of some sort of insane self-belief 0.94

00:57:50.060 to think that your your poetry is worthy that the whole world will read it and think you're great

00:57:57.280 i don't that's crazy to me i don't so yeah i don't write poetry i don't do poetry at all

01:05:24.980 Yeah, sort of, probably, yeah

01:05:27.240 If it was designed

01:05:34.320 One news cycle 0.59

01:05:35.240 It worked perfectly, didn't it then?

01:05:38.940 Yeah

01:05:39.180 He doesn't have to seek office

01:05:42.160 Ever again, does he, Trump?

01:05:46.580 Know that the mainstream media

01:05:47.920 Are going to go berserk

01:05:48.660 And then just go

01:06:06.000 The Pope
