00:00:14.080 My band of brothers and sisters. I hope you're doing well.

00:00:16.240 I hope you had a nice evening.

00:00:18.440 Me? Yeah!

00:00:20.800 I'm alright.

00:00:22.040 Yeah, all good. Thanks for asking.

00:00:23.880 As always, I'm joined by my producer, Little Harry.

00:00:25.880 How you doing, Harry? Morning. Yeah, I'm all good.

00:00:30.000 the all-powerful voice of the disembodied producer there

00:00:34.800 all right it is now eight in the a.m. British summertime on Tuesday

00:00:38.520 Tuesday the 18th of August in the year of our law 2026

00:00:42.160 should we just get on with it though? should we stop faffing about?

00:00:48.040 it's more than enough fannying about for one morning let's just get straight into it

00:00:51.520 what's the legacy corporate lamestream media banging on about this morning?

00:00:55.900 what's that cabal of quite frankly evil Fleet Street editors

00:00:58.820 Trying to tell you is or isn't important

00:01:01.420 What are they lying to us about by omission

00:01:05.320 Nothing else

00:01:06.160 Alright, we've got

00:01:09.160 Who duped the PM

00:01:10.900 Andy Nostone and Burnham

00:01:13.500 King of the North

00:01:14.140 King Bumham, the first of his name

00:01:17.080 Got duped into thinking

00:01:19.320 He was contacting Trump's

00:01:21.400 Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles

00:01:22.540 Alright

00:01:25.380 It's quite serious actually

00:01:27.140 Isn't it relatively

00:01:27.820 And Pep's agony

00:01:30.740 Football manager

00:01:33.080 Talked about his divorce

00:01:34.620 It's silly season

00:01:37.000 It's August

00:01:37.900 The news

00:01:39.940 As a general rule

00:01:42.180 Pulls off a cliff a bit in August

00:01:44.680 There's not as much going on

00:01:46.600 Is there usually

00:01:48.040 So they've got a result too

00:01:50.940 A football manager

00:01:53.600 Talked about his divorce a bit

00:01:56.000 That happened ages ago

00:01:57.620 That's of no consequence to anyone other than them

00:02:00.320 Okay, alright

00:02:02.140 The Daily Mail, let's have a look then

00:02:03.400 The Mail, pure globalist slot

00:02:05.040 Try and pretend it isn't 1.00

00:02:06.620 Women who won't give up fat jabs 1.00

00:02:10.140 Even though their hair is falling out 1.00

00:02:11.540 Don't care

00:02:12.000 Of course I don't care

00:02:15.700 Embrace it 0.91

00:02:17.260 No, it's different for women though, isn't it? 0.99

00:02:18.660 Obviously 1.00

00:02:18.900 But your hair's falling out

00:02:21.740 Don't you just eat less?

00:02:23.700 Fat jab thing 0.99

00:02:24.440 I haven't got a great deal of sympathy for 0.98

00:02:27.500 for obese people morbidly obese people whatever that jabs just stop eating cake and pie 0.92

00:02:34.500 ugh that Hayden Hayden Panettiere I don't know how to pronounce her surname properly but

00:02:42.220 it looks like it was a drugs overdose probably certainly no real foul play the coroner said

00:02:48.660 there's no signs of like a struggle or any violence or anything and reports are coming

00:02:53.760 out that it was it was drugs a drug overdose whether you know accidental or not that's not

00:03:03.080 clear but all right anyway so who was white house hoaxer who duped p.m security fears over bumham's

00:03:11.800 messages with imposter who posed as trump's chief of staff andy bumham was left red-faced

00:03:18.780 Yesterday

00:03:20.040 After he was fooled by an imposter

00:03:22.300 Posing as Donald Trump's chief of staff

00:03:24.040 An international hunt

00:03:25.200 An international hunt

00:03:26.160 Is underway

00:03:26.980 For the hoaxer

00:03:28.800 Who targeted the prime minister

00:03:30.360 As he took office last month

00:03:32.140 So apparently

00:03:32.780 I'll paraphrase

00:03:33.740 I'll stop reading

00:03:34.220 Apparently just before he became prime minister

00:03:36.900 And just after

00:03:37.740 He was in communications with somebody

00:03:40.360 On his phone

00:03:41.100 Who said they were Susie Wiles

00:03:42.980 Trump's chief of staff

00:03:44.260 The ice maiden

00:03:45.040 Is her moniker 1.00

00:03:47.360 and chief of staff to the president of the united states is super super duper

00:03:51.840 important right it's it's kind of the president's right-hand man or woman as the case may be you

00:03:58.820 know really really close it's supposed to be they're like a gatekeeper but more than that even

00:04:03.040 it's like um kind of everything the president knows and does the chief of staff he is looped

00:04:09.400 into kind of everything you know if perhaps if there's some sort of giant um giant event that

00:04:16.600 Happens

00:04:17.220 The president

00:04:18.760 One of the first people

00:04:19.800 The president will go to

00:04:20.540 Is his chief of staff

00:04:21.760 Right

00:04:23.420 It's a nub

00:04:24.060 Nexus

00:04:24.360 Super important

00:04:25.960 Super important

00:04:26.420 So

00:04:26.580 Okay

00:04:27.500 The question is then

00:04:29.240 Like basically

00:04:30.020 How did that happen

00:04:31.260 Like one

00:04:32.360 Just technically how

00:04:33.340 How is that possible

00:04:34.200 You know 1.00

00:04:34.900 Was it Iranians 1.00

00:04:36.580 Was it Russians

00:04:38.460 Was it just someone

00:04:40.060 Within the White House

00:04:40.880 Just genuinely

00:04:41.800 A hoaxer

00:04:42.760 Just having a laugh

00:04:43.900 Or was it something

00:04:45.980 much more serious like state actors we don't know we haven't got any of the real detail yet of

00:04:50.460 exactly what went down like we don't know what they spoke about to each other

00:04:57.580 or or anything like that okay the uh number 10 are saying it was only a few messages and it was

00:05:05.500 nothing of any sensitive nature and other people saying well they would say that in fact let's go

00:05:10.060 to uh i think it's on the mail yeah the mail online here we go they also ask uh they've got

00:05:17.260 a better article here longer better article um yeah one technically how did it happen who was it

00:05:25.980 what was said between them was it of any like you know anything sensitive she's had her phone hacked

00:05:31.260 before like last year it was shown that she'd had her phone hacked apparently in that incident

00:05:37.580 Whoever had hacked her

00:05:40.000 Had also like

00:05:41.080 AI generated her voice

00:05:44.060 And was calling up

00:05:45.680 Apparently this is crazy

00:05:46.740 This one passed me by when this happened

00:05:48.740 I don't remember this in the news cycle

00:05:50.620 Maybe it's a big deal in America

00:05:51.780 Not sure the story really reached us here

00:05:54.460 Not for long anyway

00:05:55.180 But apparently

00:05:55.840 People that had hacked Susie Wiles' phone 0.99

00:05:58.340 Generated her

00:06:01.040 AI generated her voice

00:06:02.260 And was phoning up other important people

00:06:04.260 In the Trump administration

00:06:05.380 And like saying stuff to them

00:06:06.840 Who knows what

00:06:07.580 i don't again i don't think we've got the real real detail exactly what was said and done

00:06:12.540 that's worrying yeah that's that's very very worrying that i'd be extremely concerned by that

00:06:20.860 um okay so so from our side of things it's just a bit embarrassing but andy burnham is um and

00:06:29.500 number 10 have declined to sort of give every any comment when they were asked

00:06:33.100 Is the Prime Minister embarrassed by this

00:06:37.060 They're just like no comment

00:06:37.800 Of course he would be

00:06:40.040 It's easy to get duped though

00:06:41.920 Super easy to get duped

00:06:44.960 Super easy

00:06:47.140 I myself

00:06:48.960 In fact I'll tell you a little anecdote

00:06:49.960 I myself a week or so ago

00:06:52.920 There was someone on Twitter

00:06:54.140 And they were claiming to be close to Elon

00:06:55.600 And like immediately I'm like

00:06:57.500 I doubt it

00:06:59.280 And anyway they were asking for a follow

00:07:02.640 So I followed them

00:07:03.660 So they sent me a DM

00:07:04.760 And I had a couple of

00:07:05.520 Two or three DMs

00:07:07.100 Back and forth with them

00:07:08.020 And the whole time I'm thinking

00:07:09.120 This is 99% nonsense isn't it

00:07:12.300 99% nonsense 0.67

00:07:13.500 And then

00:07:15.740 And then they said

00:07:16.480 Do you want to speak to Elon

00:07:17.800 Okay

00:07:22.120 Okay bro

00:07:23.260 Yeah

00:07:23.860 And

00:07:24.560 But there you go

00:07:26.740 If you were a little bit more credulous

00:07:28.460 If you were a little bit more credulous

00:07:32.020 You could easily get duped

00:07:34.740 Very very easily

00:07:35.660 But the thing is the Prime Minister

00:07:37.760 The thing about all of this though is

00:07:39.040 The Prime Minister is supposed to have

00:07:42.680 All sorts of like

00:07:44.700 Safeguards in place right 0.93

00:07:46.580 Well the Americans when the Brits

00:07:48.820 Reported this they reported it to the Americans

00:07:51.000 We think this has happened

00:07:52.540 The Americans said yeah that's not Susie Wiles 1.00

00:07:54.660 She's not

00:07:55.400 Yeah you've been duped 0.96

00:07:57.340 And they called him a chump 1.00

00:07:58.840 The Americans called him yeah look 0.88

00:08:02.020 But in an embarrassing debacle which has left the Prime Minister 0.99

00:08:05.860 Quote, looking like a chump according to US officials

00:08:09.160 Not very sympathetic is it from the American side 0.98

00:08:13.760 Doesn't make you look like a bit of a chump 1.00

00:08:17.840 There are supposed to be, aren't there 0.99

00:08:19.960 All sorts of mechanisms in place to prevent anything like that

00:08:24.380 Even remotely happening

00:08:25.820 Even remotely happening

00:08:26.920 Like if Andy Burnham wanted to make sure

00:08:30.980 He's actually talking to the real Susie Wiles

00:08:32.900 Wouldn't he go through

00:08:34.800 Actual diplomatic

00:08:36.560 Or like the foreign office

00:08:38.760 At least the foreign office channels

00:08:40.580 Something or other

00:08:42.920 Something or other

00:08:43.680 Not just replying to someone on his phone

00:08:45.860 That claims to be Susie Wiles

00:08:47.180 I don't know

00:08:48.060 Alright I mean there's not that much more to the story than that

00:08:55.380 Interesting though

00:08:56.660 On this article

00:08:57.360 It's a little bit

00:08:59.040 I thought it was quite interesting

00:09:00.000 It goes a rundown

00:09:00.660 Of a few other people

00:09:01.800 That have been duped

00:09:02.600 There's loads of people

00:09:03.220 David Cameron

00:09:03.880 David Cameron's been duped

00:09:06.140 Prince Harry

00:09:07.800 You know

00:09:09.860 Even Sarah Palin

00:09:12.300 Or one time

00:09:14.520 I do remember this

00:09:15.180 It's quite funny

00:09:16.000 John

00:09:17.600 Colshaw

00:09:20.060 If anyone doesn't know him

00:09:22.080 He's not on TV that much anymore

00:09:24.320 But he used to be on TV a while ago

00:09:26.380 Quite a bit

00:09:27.000 And he would do impressions of people

00:09:28.560 Like Rory Bremner

00:09:29.380 He was really good at doing voice impersonations

00:09:31.480 He rung up Tony Blair

00:09:33.320 I don't know, he got Tony Blair's actual number

00:09:34.860 I thought Tony Blair didn't even have a mobile

00:09:36.980 Isn't that one of the things?

00:09:38.160 Anyway, maybe he was at a number 10 landline

00:09:39.800 Who knows?

00:09:40.400 He rung up Tony Blair

00:09:41.760 Claiming to be William Hague

00:09:43.460 The leader of the opposition at the time

00:09:46.920 Apparently Tony Blair just twigged it straight away

00:09:49.040 And said that's quite a good imitation

00:09:51.960 Tony Blair wasn't fooled

00:09:54.180 He's nobody's fool, old tone

00:09:57.120 Anyway, anyway

00:09:58.100 It's easy to get duped, super easy, be careful

00:10:00.680 But, you know, if you're Prime Minister

00:10:03.280 You would think you'd be a bit more savvy, wouldn't you?

00:10:07.400 Than that

00:10:07.820 Alright, let's get back to the headlines

00:10:10.120 So it's one of the main stories today in the news cycle

00:10:12.340 That's why I spent so long on that, okay

00:10:13.600 Alright, what else have we got?

00:10:16.740 The star, pure slop

00:10:17.740 Pure, pure slop

00:10:19.360 Mrs Brown's boy's Christmas special is axed good 1.00

00:10:23.220 Is crap 0.99

00:10:23.900 Mrs Brown's boy 1.00

00:10:26.100 I don't like it

00:10:26.640 I think it's really

00:10:27.200 I've only watched a couple of episodes

00:10:28.600 And I was like

00:10:28.980 That's enough

00:10:29.400 I get it

00:10:30.020 I get it

00:10:30.620 This is terrible

00:10:31.800 I actually did see a headline

00:10:33.140 Something about

00:10:33.940 Someone's jaw got broken

00:10:35.300 I don't know if it was that guy

00:10:36.180 Like in an accident or something

00:10:37.880 Anyway I don't care

00:10:38.500 Anyway I don't care

00:10:39.160 He's just four weeks into his new job

00:10:42.420 But

00:10:42.880 And is faked

00:10:44.720 Caught out by Trump prankster

00:10:47.040 And crazy wildfire alert

00:10:48.280 Does someone need to take away

00:10:50.060 The Prime Minister's phone

00:10:51.080 i do feel like andy burnham as well as being like some sort of have the mind of like a student

00:11:02.440 activist still moaning about thatcher wanting to go back to the 70s playing war on middle class

00:11:10.220 people all that stuff as well as having the mind of like a teenager at best i feel like he's not

00:11:17.920 particularly clever like i say savvy i think that's like the word you know people that are

00:11:24.940 you you would want in your leader someone that's like a an operator someone that's cynical on some

00:11:30.060 level someone that's like you know not credulous not like a soft fall right i would want that in

00:11:43.240 my leader, I could just pick and choose, of course, why wouldn't you? I think he is those

00:11:47.740 things, I think Burnham is those things. He's got a soft mind on a number of levels. Not

00:11:55.700 ideal, is it? Especially if we're going to go to war with Russia, which our deep state 0.76

00:12:02.680 seem hell-bent on, more on that later. All right, the Daily Tore graph, pure globalist

00:12:08.540 slop, pro-Zionist

00:12:10.660 anti-British slop

00:12:11.720 what have we got

00:12:15.140 that old dude from Bargain Hunt or something 1.00

00:12:18.720 said he's part of a dying breed, old 1.00

00:12:20.480 white English gentleman, yeah probably 1.00

00:12:22.460 Rainer paves 0.82

00:12:24.600 way, Angela the Fridge, Rainer, Big Bird

00:12:26.200 paves way for more traveller sites

00:12:28.760 right

00:12:34.880 okay

00:12:38.540 They're trying to destroy the fabric of our society, aren't they?

00:12:41.400 Trying. 0.92

00:12:42.600 Residents will be, quote, forced to tolerate lawbreakers, quote.

00:12:46.340 Right.

00:12:48.340 As reforms hinder councils from blocking new camps.

00:12:50.920 So, this is why, because she's like the housing minister or something like that, isn't she? 0.97

00:12:53.740 We have a nonsense title they've given that buffoon. 0.99

00:12:57.700 It's part of the Greenbelt thing, where she wants to build loads more houses for our invaders. 1.00

00:13:03.320 And that part of that 1.00

00:13:06.040 Part of that means lifting various rules

00:13:08.540 And red tape

00:13:09.280 Or being able to build on

00:13:10.520 Greenbelt sites

00:13:12.780 The small amount of natural beauty

00:13:15.300 Remaining on this island

00:13:16.360 I want to pave over that

00:13:17.980 And part of that will mean 1.00

00:13:21.340 More loopholes for travellers 0.99

00:13:23.920 Travelling folk 1.00

00:13:24.640 Who are also largely a blight 1.00

00:13:27.680 On our society, aren't they?

00:13:29.120 Well Bo, that's a bit of a big thing

00:13:33.180 You live next to them

00:13:34.760 You live next to them and see how they behave

00:13:38.240 See how they behave

00:13:40.360 The rules just simply don't apply to them

00:13:42.820 What rules?

00:13:45.340 All the rules

00:13:46.220 Horrible

00:13:50.220 So yeah, you'll just have to

00:13:51.340 You'll just have to tolerate it

00:13:52.740 Angela The Fridge Rainer

00:13:55.380 Big Bird has decreed

00:13:56.640 You just have to put up with it

00:13:59.120 Whilst they build more houses

00:14:01.820 For our even more pernicious

00:16:32.300 Of the teller of the Toreograph

00:16:34.120 A stag in Richmond Park

00:16:37.860 Stumbled across someone having a picnic

00:16:39.760 And attacked them

00:16:41.040 I don't think they were hurt or anything

00:16:44.720 And I just won't see it or whatever

00:16:46.020 I don't know

00:16:46.400 It was shot

00:17:09.360 Stomach turning

00:17:11.020 Tyus called to stop fighting climate crisis

00:17:14.500 sparks fury again the funny the syntax that the sort of the way they the way they put um headlines 0.99

00:17:23.860 is so stupid reform deputy accused of uh misinformation as uk rules from wildfires 0.99

00:17:31.380 now i've got my shoes with dicey ticey 1.00

00:17:38.660 i think he's i think he's a terrible politician personally but i agree with him on this again

00:17:43.460 i'm not too proud to agree with my political enemies if they say something i agree with

00:17:46.820 absolutely not yeah he basically said stuff like completely and utterly paraphrased but

00:17:54.100 he basically says stuff like calm down it's just a bit of summer and if anything it's good for

00:18:00.900 wine winery people that grow grapes in england if anything it's good for that in it he's like

00:18:05.220 enjoy the weather just enjoy the warm weather while it lasts and it's good for like uh vineyards

00:18:10.500 That's good for English grape growers, isn't it?

00:18:13.760 Who's like that about it?

00:18:16.580 Yeah.

00:18:17.280 Oh, misinformation, though.

00:18:18.640 It's misinformation.

00:18:20.740 Climate activists warned of the misinformation.

00:18:23.960 Did they?

00:18:24.720 Did they?

00:18:28.520 I mean, it's just nonsense.

00:18:31.120 Just nonsense.

00:18:33.020 Okay.

00:18:34.780 Trump says he'll bomb Oman if it gets in the way of Iran deal.

00:18:38.220 So you remember the

00:18:39.020 You remember Mr. Trump's

00:18:41.620 Or not just

00:18:42.500 Iran and the US's

00:18:45.260 Memorandum of Understanding

00:18:47.420 And that gave them

00:18:50.040 They gave themselves 60 days

00:18:51.840 To get a proper full peace deal

00:18:54.600 And even within that 60 days

00:18:57.060 There was still

00:18:58.440 10 days or more was it

00:19:00.820 Of like bombing each other

00:19:02.340 Quite heavily

00:19:02.980 Iran firing missiles into places like Jordan

00:19:06.760 And Kuwait and wherever

00:19:07.680 Killing a few people

00:19:09.300 Including one or two US servicemen 0.96

00:19:11.720 America bombing night after night after night

00:19:14.380 Infrastructure inside Iran 1.00

00:19:16.480 All sorts of stuff

00:19:17.400 That's all contained within that 60 days

00:19:19.620 Well anyway

00:19:20.280 That 60 days is over now

00:19:22.060 So what now?

00:19:27.360 What next?

00:19:29.340 I don't know

00:19:29.760 Because

00:19:30.660 Iran wants to try and make a deal with Oman 0.99

00:19:34.240 Just like a deal just between them 0.97

00:19:36.980 Over like control of the Straits of Hormuz

00:19:39.900 Trump says, I'm not having that

00:19:41.080 No, no, no, no

00:19:41.980 Oman, you're nominally, very nominally

00:19:45.220 An ally of the United States 1.00

00:19:48.040 We can't have that, I don't want that

00:19:50.620 Me and old Marco Rubio over at State

00:19:53.380 We're not going to have that

00:19:54.400 Don't make us call up Pete

00:19:56.100 Don't make me and Marco get on a conference call

00:20:01.260 To Big Pete H over at the Pentagon

00:20:03.820 You won't like that, you'll regret that

00:20:06.100 So, yeah, he's only threatened it

00:20:10.620 I mean, I think I said yesterday, was it?

00:20:13.540 Or maybe at the weekend, a rally somewhere, a speech somewhere

00:20:16.400 Trump said he intends on turning the Straits of Hormuz into sort of full-blown US territory

00:20:22.660 The thing is with Trump now and his strategy

00:20:30.060 Is it does seem to rely on, doesn't it? 1.00

00:20:35.640 They seem to rely on the Iranians blinking 1.00

00:20:41.060 And ultimately at some point capitulating 0.99

00:20:43.900 They don't look like they've got any intention of doing that

00:20:50.720 You can threaten them and threaten them and threaten them 1.00

00:20:55.200 And bomb them and bomb them and bomb them 1.00

00:20:57.080 And that regime just won't give up 1.00

00:20:59.200 As I say, they're likely to

00:21:02.100 They'd rather rule over a nation in rubble

00:21:06.320 Than give up

00:21:08.180 Part of their worldview 1.00

00:21:10.460 Part of their ideology

00:21:12.280 Their religion even

00:21:13.720 Is that

00:21:15.080 It's not the end of the world to be martyred

00:21:18.400 Quite literally

00:21:18.900 It's not the worst thing ever to be martyred

00:21:21.420 For your cause

00:21:22.380 That doesn't sit well with the strategy of

00:21:29.140 Getting them to capitulate

00:21:32.100 give in, does it, so, Trump didn't want, he really, really didn't want a forever war in

00:21:42.560 Iran, does look like it's going to be difficult to prevent that, unless Trump and the US just

00:21:54.140 give in, just back away, say, look, they call up old Bibby, look, we tried, we tried really

00:21:59.900 hard we did what you asked us to do and didn't work so and we're not going to put boots on the

00:22:11.000 ground that's still the thing that the us are saying they've got no appetite or boots on the

00:22:17.940 ground well i doubt that regime is going to change then oh look here's some weird

00:22:24.300 Vigil

00:22:26.680 With Jason Arday

00:22:28.400 Look at the state of this

00:22:29.520 Look at the state of these

00:22:31.120 It says tens of thousands

00:22:32.860 I don't think it was tens of thousands

00:22:34.400 It wasn't tens of thousands

00:22:36.400 That image there is about the biggest

00:22:38.840 You could possibly have captured

00:22:41.080 In one place

00:22:44.000 There's an image

00:22:44.640 There's maybe like a thousand

00:22:47.740 Maybe two at most

00:22:49.420 Not tens of thousands

00:22:50.640 Ardayan, why are you 0.99

00:22:52.440 Can't stop themselves can they

00:22:54.000 Yeah, there's a vigil in Trafalgar Square

00:22:56.760 In front of the Portrait Gallery

00:22:58.800 St. Martin's, isn't it?

00:23:02.660 St. Martin's feels that

00:23:03.420 Nelson's column would be just there

00:23:05.920 Anyway

00:23:07.000 Yeah, it was organised by Stand Up to Racism

00:23:12.680 Yeah

00:23:13.880 That's what it was

00:23:17.020 Saying that it's all racist

00:23:19.200 Everything that happened to Jason Arday

00:23:20.600 And the cause of his death ultimately

00:23:22.580 Was racism 0.99

00:23:24.140 Get some black labour MP woman 1.00

00:23:30.340 To stand up there 1.00

00:23:31.160 Talk about racism

00:23:33.240 Racism

00:23:34.520 And Joe Snarday was a great brilliant dude

00:23:38.720 Was he?

00:23:41.140 Was he?

00:23:43.360 There's an article there

00:23:44.420 No

00:23:46.900 Yeah look

00:23:49.220 Quote

00:23:50.340 A lovely, kind and brilliant man

00:23:52.720 Tens of thousands attend Jason Arday's vigil

00:23:55.340 A lovely, kind and brilliant man

00:23:57.440 Was he?

00:24:00.120 Wasn't he a confidence trickster? 0.99

00:24:01.940 Wasn't he a habitual liar? 0.79

00:24:06.980 Lovely, kind and brilliant 0.74

00:24:08.140 Doubt it, don't think so

00:24:09.620 I don't think he was, mate

00:24:10.840 Alright, there you go 1.00

00:24:13.000 Loads of black and brown people 1.00

00:24:14.340 And a few bleeding heart liberal boomer women 1.00

00:24:19.240 Hashtag not all boomers 0.95

00:24:20.940 Go based boomers 0.99

00:24:22.120 Alright 1.00

00:24:23.080 The mirror

00:24:23.920 Pure

00:24:24.940 Leftist slot

00:24:26.520 Full blown leftist Fabian slot

00:24:27.800 And there's that thing

00:24:29.200 Pep's agony

00:24:29.980 Pep Guardiola

00:24:30.900 The manager of Man City

00:24:32.440 Oh sorry

00:24:32.960 The ex-manager

00:24:34.240 Of Man City

00:24:34.920 It's not even the current manager

00:24:36.300 Of Manchester City Football Club

00:24:37.920 He used to be

00:24:38.700 Is that what he says?

00:24:41.280 Oh no

00:24:41.560 No he still

00:24:42.200 I thought he still is

00:24:43.020 Is he?

00:24:44.420 I should know that 1.00

00:24:45.220 Ex-man

00:24:46.840 No he still

00:24:47.240 I think he still is

00:24:48.160 They must be, yeah, because they're in the Charity Shield

00:24:50.560 No, sorry, sorry, I got that wrong then

00:24:51.880 He is still the manager of Manchester City

00:24:54.980 And apparently he gave a pep talk to his team

00:24:57.480 Maybe it was in half-time of the Charity Shield the other day

00:25:00.640 I don't know exactly, I couldn't be bothered to read the details

00:25:02.500 And in that, he referenced his ex-wife, this woman here

00:25:07.420 That he'd split up with

00:25:08.560 And he's talking about the passion

00:25:10.420 Him and his wife didn't have the passion anymore

00:25:12.580 But he needs his team to have the passion for football

00:25:18.160 that's it that's it that's that whole story

00:25:22.400 again scraping the bottom of the barrel in august isn't it really

00:25:26.160 all right farage's party at it again they go with they go with lassie ticey and he's

00:25:32.240 he's a wine buffoon is he is he the mirror

00:25:38.560 their reform derangement syndrome is well bad well bad

00:25:42.720 Devastating drought, wildfires, homes burnt to the ground

00:25:48.900 Families who have lost everything

00:25:50.440 But reformed deputy Richard Tyce says it's great for the grapes 0.59

00:25:53.720 Wine buffoon 1.00

00:25:57.160 Shut up, shut up, go away 1.00

00:26:00.000 Not even going to give that any time 1.00

00:26:01.440 What slop have they got for us?

00:26:03.700 What sloppy joes are they serving up for us?

00:26:06.060 Slapping in our face

00:26:07.180 Show lifts lid on agony

00:26:11.560 There's a TV show

00:26:13.540 There's going to be a TV show about it

00:26:14.740 Told of split at game

00:26:16.280 Aces team talk shock

00:26:17.800 Pep's divorce rant at players

00:26:19.920 Pep Guardioli lost the passion with his wife

00:26:22.520 And he needs his players to have passion for football

00:26:24.620 That's the most important thing in the world apparently

00:26:28.060 According to the Sun

00:26:29.100 Could report on anything

00:26:30.920 Anything that's going on in the entire world

00:26:33.280 Good game with that

00:26:37.420 Ah, it's a slot

00:26:38.680 An insult

00:26:39.760 To call that journalism in any way

00:26:41.800 At the times, the venerable times

00:26:43.980 Tweaked early release scheme

00:26:46.780 Could keep PC's killers in prison

00:26:48.560 They're going

00:26:49.220 Can they or can't they?

00:26:51.380 Again, this is another story, another twist

00:26:52.880 In the story of PC Andrew Harper's killers

00:26:56.520 Whether they will, or two of the three of them

00:26:58.860 Whether they will or won't be let out early

00:27:01.480 It's just going on and on and on

00:27:04.260 Isn't it?

00:27:06.980 Them saying, oh you can't do it

00:27:08.040 It's not possible, you can't do it

00:27:09.180 The government's saying, we can do it, we are going to do it

00:27:11.740 And they're saying, you can't, it won't happen, it won't happen

00:27:13.460 It will happen, we are going to do it

00:27:14.520 The latest here called into the Times

00:27:19.120 Says they can do a tweak

00:27:20.300 To make sure that certain types of manslaughter

00:27:23.960 Cases can't get let out early

00:27:26.900 And that would include these two

00:27:28.600 Has the executive

00:27:33.620 Got the power or not

00:27:39.180 I suppose it would come under the auspices of the Home Office.

00:27:44.600 Have they got the power or not?

00:27:46.000 It should be pretty straightforward.

00:27:49.200 Okay.

00:27:51.960 She is mildly interested in children left fixated with violence by social media.

00:27:57.740 Report backs curbs to stop Southport-style attacks.

00:28:01.840 It's part of, in my opinion, part of Operation Creep.

00:28:04.360 For censorship

00:28:07.320 Just a more and more censorious society

00:28:09.400 They'll say

00:28:10.800 They'll use the argument over and over and over again

00:28:13.240 Something or other

00:28:15.520 Is a detriment, a danger to children

00:28:17.820 And so it must be banned

00:28:20.900 The government must step in

00:28:22.560 To ban it

00:28:23.640 And again at first blush

00:28:26.700 You're like good, fine

00:28:27.960 Yeah

00:28:28.840 Let's protect the innocent minds of children

00:28:32.480 Sure

00:28:33.220 What possible argument is there against that?

00:28:37.520 Well, that it's just simply a thin end of the wedge to government censorship for everyone.

00:28:43.480 Children, we must censor this because children might see it.

00:28:48.020 But now it's also 16 to 18 year olds as well though.

00:28:52.160 Oh, now it's everyone.

00:28:53.740 Now it's not just sort of extreme violence or extreme pornography or something.

00:28:56.760 Now it's anything we don't like.

00:28:59.020 The government, we.

00:29:00.340 Anything we, the government, don't want you to see.

00:29:02.760 And it's not just for children

00:29:03.700 It's for everyone

00:29:04.260 And it will start with

00:29:07.340 It starts with this, doesn't it?

00:29:10.560 Children

00:29:10.920 Like we've got

00:29:11.620 We've got

00:29:12.060 We've got a sense of social media

00:29:16.720 To prevent a Southport style attack

00:29:18.940 Yeah

00:29:24.500 Okay

00:29:25.920 Okay

00:29:27.940 The Express

00:29:29.540 It's a good paper

00:29:31.080 you can read your express now

00:29:34.840 it's not a good paper obviously that's an animal partridge quote it's a complete slop

00:29:43.280 and it's again much like the mail and the telegraph trying to poorly wear the skin suit

00:29:52.480 of a nativist or a patriot in some way in fact it's pure globalist slop hates us and will work

00:29:59.160 very hard to destroy anyone that's trying to save this country fears grow that calais jungle style

00:30:05.060 camps could spring up on south coast of england smugglers use britain as transit hub for migrants

00:30:11.860 i had to read this because i was like wait what now

00:30:13.880 well it's saying the reverse it's saying that migrants get into britain one way or another

00:30:21.440 maybe some by airplane but some of them actually would rather be in europe they could they could

00:30:27.880 get a better deal more gibbs less likely to be deported perhaps in one or two other places in

00:30:33.840 europe so actually they come to england then they want to get out of england so there would be a 0.85

00:30:40.000 reverse migrant camp right down in dover or somewhere i don't know folkestone or whatever

00:30:43.880 who knows there'll be a reverse calais jungle camp on the south coast of england where they're trying

00:30:49.980 to smuggle themselves across the channel to go to somewhere else belgium or something who knows

00:31:36.300 The FT, the Financial Times 1.00

00:31:39.200 Big fat disgusting pig tyrant Kim Jong-un is enjoying a circus 1.00

00:31:44.920 Quite literally watching a circus 1.00

00:31:46.700 With his daughter that they say might be being groomed politically

00:31:51.620 To take over from him one day maybe

00:31:54.340 Some say that

00:31:55.340 Who knows if that's true

00:31:56.740 Some sort of anniversary of Korea 0.75

00:31:59.840 Liberating themselves from Japan 0.94

00:32:03.060 And he was watching a circus 0.99

00:32:18.780 Fetid stench 1.00

00:32:24.340 Smells like treason. Smells like sedition.

00:32:28.380 I smell sedition. That's right, it's the metro.

00:32:32.580 That doesn't sound much like peace, Mr President, they go with.

00:32:36.240 They've got Trump derangement syndrome, haven't they?

00:32:38.380 Well, they're leftists. They're arch-leftists.

00:32:41.060 Trump's four-letter threat to bomb US ally, Oman, nominally an ally,

00:32:46.260 as his 60-day deadline to resolve Iran war expires with no end in sight.

00:32:54.340 Alright, I'm just going to move on

00:32:56.460 The Independent, again, look at the crowds

00:32:58.500 Turned out for Jason Arday

00:33:00.040 Look at it

00:33:02.740 Ugh

00:33:03.140 Ugh

00:33:05.560 The Stand Up to Racism printed out a load of placards

00:33:10.520 That said, rest in power

00:33:12.280 Professor Jason Arday

00:33:13.680 Ugh

00:33:18.680 I am not interested

00:33:23.820 In the entire narrative

00:33:26.680 About Jason Arday

00:33:28.220 I'm not interested, I don't care

00:33:30.320 I don't care about it

00:33:31.880 I talked about it very minimally

00:33:34.400 On this show

00:33:35.280 Didn't I?

00:33:37.300 And only when it was on the front page

00:33:39.160 Front and centre, very minimally

00:33:40.980 And while the politics show

00:33:43.000 The state that

00:33:45.500 The state of politics

00:33:51.380 With Mr H reviews

00:33:53.760 Nate

00:33:54.160 We didn't talk about our day at all

00:33:57.460 Until he was found dead

00:33:59.420 And then we did a segment on that

00:34:01.660 And the reaction to that

00:34:03.320 We didn't do any

00:34:04.360 We do three, two, three videos a day on that channel

00:34:07.020 We didn't talk about it at all

00:34:09.180 I was just not interested, I don't care

00:34:10.820 Some DEI hired dude 0.73

00:34:13.860 Turned out to be completely incompetent

00:34:15.260 And was raised far above

00:34:16.940 What his true station in life should have been

00:34:19.900 Yeah

00:34:20.320 So what, I mean not so what

00:34:22.500 But yeah, that's happening loads all over the place

00:34:24.340 It's barely a story to me 0.94

00:34:25.800 I was shown to be a charlatan and a liar 0.89

00:34:27.360 Yeah, big news, big whoop 0.91

00:34:29.900 But now he's died, of course

00:34:32.800 Killed himself, it seems

00:34:34.280 And the backlash to that

00:34:37.440 I still don't care

00:34:38.120 I still don't care

00:34:38.800 And the fact that it's being used to

00:34:46.100 It's racism

00:34:47.240 It's racism 0.93

00:34:48.620 The people that exposed his liars 0.99

00:34:50.880 It's a seemingly endless stream of liars 0.99

00:34:56.180 They're the problem in all of this 0.99

00:34:58.600 No, no, no

00:35:00.140 It's Jason Arde's responsibility

00:35:02.360 He did it all to himself 0.82

00:35:05.280 He did all those liars 1.00

00:35:06.540 And then killed himself 0.99

00:35:07.580 So it's on him

00:35:08.160 The responsibility is on him

00:35:09.280 A little bit of responsibility

00:35:10.780 With the Cambridge University professors

00:35:12.420 Who gave him that job

00:35:13.180 Who set him up to fail essentially 0.98

00:35:15.040 They wanted a little lapdog 1.00

00:35:16.940 A little token brown man 1.00

00:35:18.720 They can pat on the head and go 0.99

00:35:19.800 Look, we've got a black professor. 0.90

00:35:21.500 Aren't we virtuous? 1.00

00:35:22.880 They're to blame a bit.

00:35:24.100 It's mainly all on him.

00:35:25.760 But no, it's about racism, is it?

00:35:27.500 I don't care.

00:35:28.160 I don't care about these people and their politics and their worldview.

00:35:31.180 Step over them.

00:35:32.100 Step round them.

00:35:34.240 Not interested in their victimhood.

00:35:37.460 Look at the picture again, Harry.

00:35:40.740 Their victim narrative at every possible turn.

00:35:44.600 Jason Arday was a brilliant man.

00:35:46.200 No, he wasn't.

00:35:46.620 well he's brilliant in the sense that he was brilliant at lying it seems although not even

00:35:54.760 that brilliant at that it was kind of obvious wasn't it you run multiple marathons and a

00:35:59.040 broken leg no you didn't mate i don't think so mate you're in 7up no you weren't liar

00:36:16.620 hey trump i'll bomb oman if it blocks our homie's plan i wonder if he actually will probably will

00:36:26.140 okay the eye paper they talk about these text alerts where the government in this

00:36:30.940 country was it over the weekend was it friday i can't remember

00:36:34.780 sent texts to everyone saying beware of wildfires like regardless of where you were or anything

00:36:39.420 and then the home office or whatever the government issued um suggestions that you

00:36:47.900 know you shouldn't have barbecues and things um and now people busy bodies

00:36:54.880 like the covid era busy body bloody karens ringing 999 going oh my neighbor's having a

00:37:03.680 barbecue you're ringing 999 for that oh what the home office has issued guidelines saying you

00:37:09.880 shouldn't have barbecues oh i see someone doing a barbecue 999 hello police

00:37:14.280 the ipaper says neighbors told don't phone 999 to report next door's barbecue yeah because that's

00:37:22.240 mad that's a busy body busy body Karen behavior what do you think you're doing well you would

00:37:27.440 We want to live in a Soviet-style informer society, a Tiberius, Caligula, Domitian-style

00:37:34.080 informer society.

00:37:35.080 Is that what we want?

00:37:36.080 A 1984 informer society.

00:37:37.080 Is that what we want?

00:37:38.080 Karen.

00:37:39.080 I think he is.

00:37:40.080 Yeah, he is.

00:37:41.080 So don't call 999, because it's really important that those telephone lines are kept open for

00:37:46.940 real emergencies.

00:37:50.000 Fire chiefs warned public not to use 999 to report neighbours holding barbecues or bonfires

00:37:55.100 in wake of government's use of national alert system to millions of mobile phones on Friday.

00:38:00.020 Alert blamed for surge of emergency calls over the weekend,

00:38:03.420 prompting fire and rescue services to urge public to reserve 999 for genuine situations

00:38:08.380 where people may be in danger.

00:38:10.240 Yeah.

00:38:11.660 Yeah, Karen. 0.99

00:38:13.420 Not all Karen's a female. 1.00

00:38:14.280 That's a pejorative term that can apply to anyone, by the way. 1.00

00:38:18.820 Actual women who have the name Karen most affected. 1.00

00:38:21.880 apologies to any super based completely reasonable woman who's actually called Karen 0.98

00:38:27.800 it's a euphemism isn't it it's a it's a shorthand for a busy body isn't it okay

00:38:34.440 episode raises questions over whether an alert intended to encourage people to report potentially

00:38:42.140 dangerous fires may have added to pressure on emergency control rooms well it sounds like it

00:38:46.360 definitely has it may have added to the pressure but you're reporting that it definitely definitely

00:38:52.900 has so what you okay all right met office london oh no wait met office is that metropontum police

00:39:01.040 or the meteorological office the weather people i don't know met office predicts change in new

00:39:06.760 heat wave i guess it's the weather one um it will be yeah sorry so the weather people predict a

00:39:13.560 change of sorry chance of new heat wave by mid-september despite some rainfall expected this

00:39:19.840 week and nighttime temperatures dropping to three degrees in parts of the country that'd be nice

00:39:27.680 it's quite a warm muggy night last night wasn't it um in the south anyway i don't know what it's

00:39:31.800 like up in inverness or something but um yeah okay there you go that's the story that's the

00:39:37.400 story the eye papers decided to go with the government sent out an alert to everyone and

00:39:42.560 a bunch of karens went mad and started dubbing in their own neighbors for having a bonfire or a

00:39:47.780 barbecue there are the headlines there are the increasingly absurd and infuriating headlines

00:39:58.680 out of fleet street on this morning the 18th of august in the year of our lord 2026 all right

00:40:05.060 let's have a look at our poll we do our poll at this point the show don't we every day i asked

00:40:09.020 harry we could we we didn't think of anything so what we do sometimes if you've noticed if you've

00:40:14.420 been in the chat on the beau show breakfast with beau correctly known as breakfast with beau

00:40:17.580 beau's breakfast club hashtag the real bbc don't you forget about me sometimes we ask the chat

00:40:23.760 what poll would you like what poll would you like to see i think that was one of those mornings

00:40:28.460 was it harry did we do that is that what we did yeah okay that's what we did so the poll here i'm

00:40:33.060 looking at it for the first time what have we got we asked you guys do you think no stern and

00:40:39.420 burnham is a boomer with tech again boomer being shorthand not necessarily an actual baby boomer

00:40:46.180 born in like 1946 or whatever but shorthand for being technically inept do you think andy burnham

00:40:54.280 is one of those and the ios have it to the tune of a cool 90 percent 700 odd people voted in that

00:41:03.060 So the options Harry put is 0.97

00:41:07.000 Yes he is a chump 1.00

00:41:08.400 Voting US officials there 1.00

00:41:11.580 Or no

00:41:12.620 I am the number one Burnham shill

00:41:14.960 10% of people clicked on that

00:41:17.780 1 in 10 of the Glorious Band

00:41:20.680 The Chosen Few clicked on that

00:41:21.980 You're in the wrong place really aren't you

00:41:24.260 It's probably not the place for you

00:41:26.080 You're basically not welcome here

00:41:29.840 Why don't you

00:41:31.220 Bugger off

00:41:32.880 go on jog on you're not welcome here this isn't the podcast for you don't go don't go i didn't

00:41:39.980 mean that i didn't mean that i still love you i love you we can make this work we can make

00:41:44.960 this work i was joking i was joking baby don't leave me please don't leave me

00:41:51.120 till the night closes

00:41:52.340 all right let's have a look at let's have a look at the price well we usually check in with the

00:41:59.780 price of cruise don't we on the open market let's have a look at what we're looking at today

00:42:03.000 west despite everything that's going on with trump and iran and oman threatening to bomb

00:42:07.720 bomb oman yet that would spike the price of oil would it yeah not really little bit west texas

00:42:14.500 is in at 85 a barrel harry can you bring that up there you go 85 a barrel for west texas

00:42:19.920 brent trading uh just over 91 and a half dollars i think yesterday if memory serves

00:42:26.160 It was like $88 or something

00:42:27.800 So it's gone up a little bit

00:42:29.020 But still

00:42:31.640 Markable

00:42:33.820 How low the price of oil is

00:42:35.840 Like a six month

00:42:38.560 Six month long plus

00:42:40.440 War in the Persian Gulf

00:42:41.940 And the price of oil is

00:42:44.380 Under $100

00:42:45.120 Significantly under $100

00:42:48.140 If you want to buy or sell

00:42:50.420 A barrel of West Texas

00:42:51.660 Shame it doesn't

00:42:55.280 Um, translate into what you or I have to pay at the petrol pump for our gasoline, our petrol, our diesel.

00:43:05.860 I know America's called it gas, don't they?

00:43:08.100 We call it petrol.

00:43:10.000 I think it's funny, some people in America, I guess from the South, I don't even know, call it gasoline.

00:43:16.360 That's just funny, to an Englishman, or to me anyway.

00:43:18.920 All right, enough of that.

00:43:20.640 Well, what else we've got?

00:43:21.320 A few other stories, a few other stories. 0.74

00:43:22.360 okay so our deep state insists on poking the russian bear in the eye with a dirty stick

00:43:27.880 it's insisting on it for some reason russia says uk will pay quote will pay

00:43:34.940 for supplying drones to ukraine the story is over the last few days both the ukraine and russia

00:43:42.120 have sent loads hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of drones at each other both sides

00:43:47.000 have been doing that hundreds apiece and a fair few of the ukrainian ones are just built by britain

00:43:54.620 in built by british companies in britain and then we give them to the ukrainians and then

00:44:00.900 they fire them into the russian territory blow stuff up the uh the russian equivalent of amazon

00:44:11.180 roughly roughly speaking some company called wild berries i've never heard of it before but

00:44:16.240 Well, not Russians, but okay

00:44:18.220 And like, for some reason 0.92

00:44:20.540 The Ukrainian strategy has been to blow up loads of their warehouses 1.00

00:44:23.220 Nine out of ten of their warehouses 1.00

00:44:25.400 Something like that, I can't remember the exact number

00:44:26.920 Seven out of ten

00:44:28.500 Seven out of ten of the largest wild berries

00:44:30.840 Logistics centres, like giant

00:44:32.620 Amazon-style warehouses

00:44:34.220 Have been disabled

00:44:35.440 Okay 1.00

00:44:37.160 And the Ukrainians have done something 0.95

00:44:40.960 In the order of $35 billion

00:44:42.300 Of economic damage to Russia

00:44:43.940 In recent weeks or months 0.93

00:44:46.020 and a fair bit of those drones that the ukrainians fire are british built by

00:44:50.860 two specific british companies and stuff and yeah the the russians are saying britain will pay the

00:44:56.760 price for that pretty concerning you know i'm not in favor of it that that's the way it goes

00:45:05.380 isn't it people normal people get normal people just get caught in the crossfire of things

00:45:12.760 Your government does something

00:45:14.880 You never ever supported that government

00:45:16.820 You never voted for them

00:45:17.840 You never supported them

00:45:19.320 You were vocal against their policies

00:45:21.480 And yet you get caught up

00:45:23.740 And are ultimately the victim of something

00:45:26.620 The world reacts to something your government did

00:45:29.780 But I think of maybe

00:45:34.460 All the people in Russia

00:45:38.960 That were constantly, consistently

00:45:41.780 Anti-socialist, anti-Bolshevik

00:45:44.520 Anti-Soviet

00:45:45.400 And yet paid the price for everything that happened

00:45:48.620 People in Germany

00:45:49.820 That were actively in East Germany

00:45:52.340 Actively and always anti-Nazi 0.79

00:45:54.940 They still get invaded and raped and murdered 0.85

00:45:58.340 When the Red Army sweeps across them anyway

00:46:00.280 Someone in Britain who was always against this war 1.00

00:46:04.140 But now the Russians may well 1.00

00:46:07.740 Who knows what they'll do 1.00

00:46:09.520 Who knows

00:46:10.080 probably nothing but who knows i'll read a little bit of it russia has accused the uk of quote

00:46:15.820 deliberately opting for an escalation of the ukraine crisis quote following confirmation that

00:46:20.640 british-made drones had been used in strikes on targets in russia this is a quote from the

00:46:24.880 russians in doing so i was getting a russian accent there i won't in doing so no i won't i

00:46:30.640 in doing so the united kingdom is acting as an accomplice and co-perpetrator of the bloody crimes

00:46:38.240 of terrorist attacks the russian embassy to the uk wrote in a statement london's actions will

00:46:43.300 inevitably carry consequences for which it will have to answer it said adding uh that the deeper

00:46:52.700 its involvement in the conflict quote the higher the price will be quote and the the brits our

00:46:59.440 government the ministry of defense just came out and said no we stand shoulder to shoulder with

00:47:02.220 ukraine oh do you okay okay russia should be in no doubt about the resolve of this government

00:47:10.560 to stand against russian aggression in ukraine and against the uk and our allies

00:47:14.320 got nothing to do with nato though nothing any of this has got anything to do with nato though

00:47:21.800 None of it has got anything to do with the

00:47:26.620 The espionage and shenanigans that went on with Ukraine

00:47:32.580 In the years before Mr Putin's invasion of the Donbass 0.52

00:47:35.720 We don't talk about any of that anymore

00:47:37.300 No, no, no

00:47:38.940 We don't talk about NATO trying to basically surround Russia as much as possible

00:47:44.160 After the end of the Cold War

00:47:45.880 We don't talk about any of that 0.90

00:47:46.720 We don't talk about all the subversion

00:47:51.020 And the various paramilitary outrages

00:47:54.040 That happened in the Donbass

00:47:55.340 Before Mr Putin's invasion

00:47:57.100 We don't talk about any of that

00:47:58.060 No, it's just simply Mr Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine

00:48:02.060 Which he did for no reason 0.54

00:48:03.300 Other than that he wants to just be 0.57

00:48:05.740 He wants to be like some sort of new Stalin

00:48:08.860 He wants to be some sort of new Tsar Alexander

00:48:11.020 He wants to water his tanks in the seine 0.93

00:48:15.520 So we're going to send Ukraine drones that get fired into Russia 0.87

00:48:24.660 Okay, okay 0.79

00:48:28.320 Alright, well

00:48:32.120 What can we do apart from just look on, aghast 1.00

00:48:38.840 I don't want anything to do with Ukraine or Russia, both of those 0.82

00:48:44.320 I don't want anything to do with that war

00:48:48.680 Why is Britain involved in anything to do with that

00:48:53.540 One side or the other

00:48:54.680 Why should we be

00:48:57.460 The Donbass region

00:49:00.780 It's really got nothing

00:49:05.340 Nothing to do with us

00:49:07.400 Unless you buy the argument

00:49:11.420 that Mr Putin is some sort of a new Hitler figure

00:49:16.200 who means to sort of invade all of Ukraine, Belarus,

00:49:19.980 on to Poland, on to Warsaw, the Red Divisions,

00:49:23.500 on to Warsaw, and then who knows what,

00:49:25.700 and then Berlin, yeah, then Frankfurt, then Paris.

00:49:30.900 Don't buy it. I just don't buy it.

00:49:34.360 The Donbass region's got nothing to do with Britain.

00:49:39.420 Sigh.

00:49:41.420 all right all right what other quick stories did we have one or two others was there i think we

00:50:05.980 trial ends but you know did i mention yesterday kifi d wrote a memoir memoir is a kind way of

00:50:12.820 describing it someone else wrote a book for him i doubt he's even particularly literate

00:50:24.080 the adventures of kifi d and in it he just said yeah i was like totally involved in that murder

00:50:32.500 I was sort of in the car

00:50:33.280 Anyway

00:50:33.940 We'll see

00:50:36.880 We'll wait and see what happens

00:50:37.900 Then I'll talk all about it

00:50:39.420 Okay

00:50:40.380 Alright

00:50:41.420 Well

00:50:41.720 It is 10-2

00:50:43.540 So let's move on to

00:50:44.660 On this day in history

00:50:46.200 I like doing that segment

00:50:48.180 You guys seem to like me

00:50:49.060 Doing that segment

00:50:49.600 So down through the centuries

00:50:51.120 On this day

00:50:51.800 18th of August

00:50:53.080 What happened overnight?

00:50:54.740 Let's have a look-see

00:50:55.380 Alright

00:50:56.840 On this day in 1590

00:50:58.280 The governor of Roanoke Island colony

00:51:00.640 John White

00:51:01.400 returns from england so he'd gone to roanoke island which is off the coast of uh one of the

00:51:08.000 carolinas isn't it and uh he'd gone there tried to set up this colony then he'd returned back to

00:51:14.340 england for like for more provisions and more tools and things they'd realized there's a bunch

00:51:21.440 of things they didn't bring with them that they should really really need so he in a small number

00:51:25.240 went back to england it was actually the spanish armada was happening at that exact time or just

00:51:30.620 after he landed so he wasn't allowed to go back for a while a couple of years

00:51:34.860 Spanish Armada is 1588 of course a couple of years go by

00:51:38.320 then he travels back to Roanoke Island to his colony 0.99

00:51:41.580 with help with suckers and it's deserted

00:51:46.420 it says he returns from England to find no trace of the colonists he left there

00:51:50.580 three years earlier it was just deserted

00:51:52.740 there was no one there because some people say

00:51:57.340 it's not their fault if they get it slightly wrong

00:51:59.860 The first English settlement is Jamestown

00:52:02.060 It's like no

00:52:04.080 There was Roanoke Island before that

00:52:05.700 It was a complete failure

00:52:06.780 Do you reckon

00:52:09.740 That on my history theme show

00:52:13.380 Bodade's Epochs

00:52:14.600 Which is behind the paywall on lotusseaters.com

00:52:17.180 Do consider signing up for as little as £5 a month

00:52:18.840 Bronze team membership

00:52:19.480 Also on this stream remember to give it a thumbs up

00:52:21.760 Sub to the channel get the bell on

00:52:24.140 Do you think on Epochs

00:52:28.580 I've got long-form content talking about that

00:52:30.180 Yeah, yeah, yeah

00:52:31.300 I've got a whole thing on the life of Sir Walter Riley

00:52:33.840 Who, this was his brainchild

00:52:36.220 And he, um, he bankrolled it

00:52:38.740 He wanted to go himself

00:52:41.260 But good Queen Bess, Queen Elizabeth I said

00:52:43.160 No, you can't personally go

00:52:44.720 He was gutted about that

00:52:46.180 Walter Riley wanted to personally go

00:52:47.860 But he wasn't allowed

00:52:48.580 He never set foot in North America, actually

00:52:51.440 He went to South America

00:52:53.980 But he never actually set foot in North America at all

00:52:56.300 Sir Walter

00:52:57.100 Anyway

00:52:58.160 It has been a bit of a mystery for centuries

00:53:01.700 What happened to all the people on Roanoke Island

00:53:03.480 Where did they go? 0.79

00:53:04.420 Were they all killed by wild Indians?

00:53:06.960 Did they eat themselves?

00:53:08.140 Did they cannibalise themselves? 0.94

00:53:09.920 Was it aliens?

00:53:12.600 It seems almost certainly now though

00:53:14.020 Because there's a few fragmented bits of information

00:53:16.800 Archaeology

00:53:17.800 That they were probably starving to death

00:53:20.520 One of those winters

00:53:21.400 And they decided to go inland

00:53:24.420 And fall upon the good graces

00:53:28.360 Of the Native American Indian people that were there

00:53:30.760 And hope they're not all just butchered by them

00:53:33.080 Because it's that or definite starvation

00:53:36.060 It seems that at least some of them did survive

00:53:38.960 This small archaeological evidence of tools

00:53:42.000 And bits of pottery and stuff

00:53:43.580 That must have come from the Roanoke Island colonists

00:53:46.860 But they essentially disappeared

00:53:49.860 Alright, there you go, interesting thing

00:53:54.280 On this day, and they left a little note on a tree as well

00:53:57.840 It's not like a complete mystery

00:53:59.380 Anyway, on this day in 1737

00:54:02.200 First public admission to the Salon de Paris Art Exhibition

00:54:06.900 At the Louvre in Paris

00:54:08.740 1737, is that early, do you think?

00:54:13.560 Is that late?

00:54:17.600 Interesting, interesting

00:54:18.580 Okay, on this day in 1838

00:54:21.740 The United States exploring expedition headed by Charles Wilkes

00:54:25.340 Departs from the Pacific Ocean and Antarctica

00:54:28.580 Yeah, Wilkes Island, there's Wilkes Island isn't there

00:54:31.660 In the Pacific, what is it, part of Wake Island

00:54:35.540 Went down to the Antarctic as well

00:54:37.740 James Cook, the Englishman

00:54:39.520 They deduced there almost certainly must be a giant landmass down there

00:54:43.900 Below South America, below Australasia

00:54:47.200 And the Russians had also sent an expedition

00:54:50.740 and there was hints from even medieval mariners that there may well be probably is some sort of

00:54:58.020 giant landmass right at the bottom of the globe charles wilkes goes down there for the u.s

00:55:04.320 the wilkes expedition interesting stuff if that's your bag do you think on epochs and on

00:55:09.140 harry on epochs and also on uh and also on history bro

00:55:18.060 my own channel history bro check it out this isn't real i haven't got 100 000 subscribers

00:55:23.760 this isn't real um i think i've got all sorts of content talking about the age of exploration

00:55:28.640 on antarctica all sorts of stuff yeah yeah yeah it's there check it out no paywall on history

00:55:33.020 bro either all right on this day in 1919 the anti-cigarette league of america forms in chicago

00:55:39.700 illinois yeah well done was that about the time wasn't it the prohibition the prohibition movement

00:55:47.020 Again busy body Karen

00:55:49.120 Saying you can't drink

00:55:49.940 You can't smoke

00:55:50.740 Shouldn't gamble

00:55:52.800 Alright

00:55:56.840 Can't the government

00:55:58.420 Just leave us alone largely

00:55:59.860 I would want a tiny government

00:56:03.040 I'm not a true libertarian

00:56:04.380 I've got libertarian leanings

00:56:06.420 I'd like the government

00:56:07.000 To leave us alone

00:56:07.880 As much as possible

00:56:08.540 I think like the government

00:56:09.520 Should step in

00:56:10.260 Like if someone's saying

00:56:11.200 I'm synthesising my own

00:56:13.420 Nerve agent

00:56:14.600 Yeah

00:56:15.240 Maybe the state should step in

00:56:16.520 and stop you doing that pass a law to stop that happening things like that just common sense

00:56:23.000 beyond that do what you want largely you're not hurting anyone else certainly

00:56:30.520 you can't drink you can't smoke don't have guns gamble

00:56:38.280 leave us alone get out of our lives

00:56:40.600 All right, on this day in 1920, State Representative Harry T. Byrne, 24, I guess that means he's

00:56:48.440 24 years old, casts the deciding vote in Tennessee's and thus America's ratification of the 19th

00:56:55.840 Amendment to the Constitution, allowing women's suffrage after reading a letter from his mother.

00:57:02.660 Little mummy's boy, Harry Byrne. Well done, mate. 0.69

00:57:05.420 Alright

00:57:08.400 On this day, 1940

00:57:11.000 Ah, the long hot summer of 1940

00:57:13.080 The Battle of Britain

00:57:14.140 Air battle known as the Hardest Day

00:57:17.560 Occurs

00:57:18.240 The Luftwaffe loses approximately 69 aircraft

00:57:21.060 And the Royal Air Force loses 68

00:57:23.260 In one of the largest ever air battles

00:57:25.640 Look, there's Winnie there

00:57:29.020 Look, there's Winnie

00:57:58.600 Long form content about Churchill

00:58:05.620 About Churchill

00:58:07.440 Some with Ed Dutton as well

00:58:09.300 It's all about Churchill

00:58:14.700 I've said it a number of times

00:58:16.100 Loads and loads and loads of times haven't I

00:58:17.520 I'm not really a fan of Churchill the politician

00:58:20.400 I'm a fan of Churchill the prose writer

00:58:23.260 He's a very good writer

00:58:25.860 I'll give it to him

00:58:28.600 as a politician I've got some concerns you really controlled him who gave him

00:58:38.780 loads and loads of money so that he could live at Chartwell just asking all

00:58:45.160 right that's that's the last of those factoids let's do our rumble rants and

00:58:56.300 super chats about this time of day let me do our rumble rants first on the left hand side of my

00:59:01.400 screen let's have a look is it gonna be a good day is global church history gonna be in at number one

00:59:20.840 And still

00:59:23.520 That's not getting old for me

00:59:27.840 Two factors, it usually gives us two factors

00:59:32.480 What have we got here?

00:59:33.280 You tell us the global church history, thank you

00:59:35.040 Tell us that today in

00:59:36.700 Wait, my screen's just

00:59:38.980 Booming out on me

00:59:40.240 Okay, here we go

00:59:40.900 Today in 1487 AD

00:59:43.380 The Catholic monarchs reconquered Malaga

00:59:45.840 Alright, the Catholic monarchs

00:59:48.340 So you're talking about

00:59:49.200 Well, the Catholic monarchs

00:59:51.340 Isabella and Ferdinand

00:59:53.700 Ferdinand II of Aragon

00:59:56.340 And Isabella I of Castile

00:59:58.680 Married each other

01:00:00.260 Became the most Catholic monarchs of Spain

01:00:02.700 And it's interesting

01:00:04.660 That it was only in 1487

01:00:06.640 That they reconquered Malaga

01:00:08.840 Hmm

01:00:09.560 Interesting

01:00:11.180 And a fair bit about them

01:00:12.580 And their time and their age

01:00:14.120 Got all sorts of content about various things

01:00:15.780 Including Magellan if nothing else

01:00:17.400 Um

01:00:19.200 I didn't know the exact date off the top of my head that they reconquered Malaga.

01:00:22.760 It's interesting, they're sort of that late during the grander narrative of the Reconquister.

01:00:29.620 Interesting, thank you for that.

01:00:30.940 And the other factoid we've got here, you say that on this day in 1531,

01:00:35.540 Pizarro discovered Santa Elena on the coast of Ecuador.

01:00:39.960 All right, cool.

01:00:40.740 So that's Francisco Pizarro.

01:00:43.720 I would imagine there's more than one Pizarro actually,

01:00:45.420 but I imagine it's the main one you're talking about there.

01:00:47.300 i've threatened in fact i've threatened for a while haven't i had to do long-form content about

01:00:51.800 cortege her land cortege and francisco pizarro more interested in pizarro than cortez personally

01:00:57.820 i think his story his conquest of the inca is more incredible the story of cortez and the aztec

01:01:04.660 is an unbelievable story i'm not saying it's not true i'm saying it it beggars belief i'm sure it's

01:01:11.120 all true but the accounts are to be believed but it's so crazy that it's like really that really

01:01:16.980 that happened the chances of that happening okay pizarro and the inca is even more improbable

01:01:24.480 and i've been threatening for ages to do pizarro and i'm pretty sure i will now i'm in the middle

01:01:31.020 of a diocletian series sorry not diocletian constantine but i talked about diocletian for

01:01:37.240 like three episodes in the middle of constantine the great series for epochs once i finish that

01:01:43.160 I'm going to have a good few more

01:01:45.760 2, 3, 4, 5 more episodes on Constantine

01:01:48.120 I think after that I'm going to do Pizarro next

01:01:50.600 I think I'm going to

01:01:52.960 Alright so

01:01:55.860 Thanks for that global church history

01:01:57.220 What else have we got

01:01:58.040 The next one here

01:01:58.900 UK Minarchist

01:02:00.520 UK Minarchist says

01:02:04.160 As a history bro

01:02:06.640 And considering the sensitivities

01:02:08.960 Can I ask 1.00

01:02:09.720 Have women ever held such institutional and social power

01:02:13.060 In any civilisation throughout history 0.96

01:02:15.040 Is this a first?

01:02:16.960 No it's not a first 1.00

01:02:18.020 History is littered with powerful women 1.00

01:02:22.160 Littered 1.00

01:02:23.380 Going back to the ancient world

01:02:27.860 Perhaps it should

01:02:29.960 Theodora

01:02:32.280 There's a number of

01:02:35.840 Yeah 1.00

01:02:38.300 A number of women 1.00

01:02:40.600 What was it? 0.99

01:02:43.060 Mary Beard wrote a book

01:02:47.160 Mary Beard, the Oxford, I think Oxford, yeah

01:02:50.600 Was it Cambridge? I think Oxford

01:02:52.160 Professor of history who is just 0.87

01:02:54.880 Like a globalist, a feminist 1.00

01:02:57.580 Sort of anti-white activist 0.93

01:02:59.540 Pretending to be a historian 0.91

01:03:01.840 It's really what she is

01:03:03.580 I wrote a whole article 1.00

01:03:05.460 She wrote a book saying that women have never had 1.00

01:03:07.840 Women's voices have always been politically 0.92

01:03:10.100 Marginalised and sidelined 0.98

01:03:13.060 And I wrote an article saying, what nonsense.

01:03:14.700 I wrote a little book, a really thin little pamphlet, crappy book,

01:03:18.420 cobbled together, but barely more than an essay.

01:03:22.240 Call it a book.

01:03:24.100 And the argument in it, Cole bought it and made me read it

01:03:27.340 to write an essay debunking it, which I did ages ago.

01:03:30.180 It's like four years ago or whatever.

01:03:32.180 And the argument was just complete nonsense. 0.78

01:03:34.240 Complete nonsense.

01:03:34.840 The number of queens and empresses we've had throughout all the civilisation.

01:03:40.600 Go back, even like there's one in ancient Sumeria.

01:03:43.060 Very, very powerful queen. 1.00

01:03:44.400 Quite often women are the power behind the throne. 1.00

01:03:47.380 Very often you'll have, like there's been empresses of China, 1.00

01:03:50.040 queens of England, queens of France.

01:03:52.540 It just goes on and on and on. 0.61

01:03:54.920 Tsarenas of all the Russians. 0.88

01:03:57.900 It's... 0.95

01:03:58.300 Have women ever held such institutional social power 1.00

01:04:03.700 in any civilization throughout history? 1.00

01:04:05.920 Yeah, yeah.

01:04:07.600 Yeah, they have. 1.00

01:04:09.740 It's a weird feminist trope. 1.00

01:04:11.840 to do a chip on their shoulder that women have always been politically ignored it's just not

01:04:16.640 true okay i could go on and on about that but i can't be bothered mr gently benevolent says

01:04:22.100 it's pretty easy to be duped to be fair only a few weeks ago i had a i had a true and honest

01:04:29.140 beau message me offering islander one for a mere three quid i don't know if you're joking there

01:04:41.020 An islander 1.00

01:04:41.900 Number one

01:04:42.380 For a mere three quid

01:04:43.120 Okay

01:04:43.460 I hope you're joking

01:04:45.660 But you may well not be

01:04:46.520 Yeah there's loads

01:04:48.080 And loads

01:04:48.360 And loads

01:04:48.640 And loads of scammers

01:04:49.260 Just assume

01:04:51.060 If you're not 100% sure

01:04:52.240 Of what you're

01:04:52.780 Who you're talking to

01:04:53.740 Just assume you're being scammed

01:04:55.140 That's why I do it

01:04:56.740 Just assume it's some phony 1.00

01:04:59.200 Probably Indian 1.00

01:05:01.380 Or Nigerian 1.00

01:05:02.420 Trying to scam you 1.00

01:05:03.400 Or on your phone

01:05:05.600 On your phone or on whatever you're messaging people on

01:05:09.140 Just assume that it's not secure

01:05:11.900 Don't say anything crazily

01:05:15.960 Crazily, insanely spicy

01:05:18.220 Or something that could, if ever got leaked

01:05:20.560 Get you in trouble

01:05:21.320 Just don't do it

01:05:22.660 Assume your thing isn't secure

01:05:24.900 Because it probably isn't

01:05:27.060 It helps if you're not doing anything wrong, of course

01:05:30.860 That's what I always think

01:05:33.300 If and when I'm hacked by anyone or whatever

01:05:35.220 Or even GCHQ

01:05:37.020 They're going to find a relatively 1.00

01:05:39.520 Boring life 0.99

01:05:40.520 I'm not

01:05:43.680 Doing anything nefarious or criminal

01:05:45.440 So

01:05:45.800 Good luck to MI5

01:05:49.560 Or GCHQ

01:05:50.460 Going through my very very boring

01:05:52.840 Stuff

01:05:54.040 Oh yeah

01:05:57.360 Your search history is just like history 1.00

01:05:59.140 Shit 0.99

01:05:59.660 Say that again 0.99

01:06:01.820 yeah helps if you're not actually doing anything nefarious of course okay gwff says um in the

01:06:12.320 morning in the morning bow exclamation mark say in the morning bow big thanks for whoever at le

01:06:20.560 reinstated the magellan part four epoch i'm just to continue the story lovely thank you for your

01:06:27.320 courage i thank you thank you for watching thank you for being a member of the glorious band the

01:06:32.720 chosen few yeah i tried to get them to i do want my epochs to be just all constantly none of them

01:06:38.900 missing and they're all there it's not too much to ask um i think so yeah they got it back so

01:06:45.160 thank you i'm glad you're enjoying it that was harry's favorite one isn't it magellan

01:06:48.640 yeah yeah it's amazing that's it yeah definitely one of like the better ones start with i think

01:06:55.100 well thanks for that because harry also since harry's been working here anyway he hasn't been

01:07:00.120 working here since the beginning but since he's been working here he does work on the epochs as

01:07:04.360 well for me editing them and making them squaring them away and making them all as good as possible

01:07:08.580 so um yeah it's like what was it like a how many parts was it 15 20 parts more i can't remember

01:07:15.460 it was loads wasn't it yeah yeah it's like 13 or 15 parts the full sort of audio book length

01:07:22.700 amount of information about Magellan's voyage around the world, the first man to circumnavigate

01:07:27.300 the globe. Although he didn't, did he? He died halfway through it. Some of his men returned.

01:07:34.240 So the first captain, captain a ship all the way around the globe, heading out west, go

01:07:40.340 all the way around the world and come back. The first captain to do that successfully

01:07:44.860 and live was Drake, an Englishman to Francis. One of Magellan's ships achieved that, but

01:07:52.500 Magellan and myself didn't.

01:07:55.180 Anyway, that's the last Rumble Rant.

01:07:56.520 Let's have a look at our YouTube ones.

01:07:58.200 Harry, you need to bring that up on my screen for me.

01:07:59.820 The YouTube superchats, if you don't mind.

01:08:02.800 There they are.

01:08:03.340 There they are.

01:08:03.700 All right, what have we got?

01:08:04.860 We've got, oh, not too many today.

01:08:06.860 Less than 10.

01:08:07.820 Okay.

01:08:08.500 Rod Knee, that's his name, Rod underscore Knee, says...

01:08:12.240 At this point, it seems clear that most Western politicians

01:08:16.060 either hate the local population

01:08:17.960 or are being blackmailed into destroying their own people. 1.00

01:08:21.420 Sounds about right.

01:08:22.500 That sounds about right, yeah.

01:08:24.520 It's hard not to come to that conclusion, isn't it?

01:08:36.200 Needed a big swig of water there.

01:08:37.480 Yeah, I mean, you're...

01:08:39.520 Rod, Rodney, Rodgers.

01:08:42.640 It's hard not to come to that conclusion, isn't it?

01:08:45.040 It feels exactly like that.

01:08:47.540 Why are you doing this?

01:08:49.920 Why?

01:08:50.220 It can't be because you think it's in the interest of the people

01:08:54.220 Whether it's in New Zealand

01:08:55.400 Because you sent ten New Zealand dollars there

01:08:58.300 Whether it's New Zealand, Australia, Germany, France, Spain

01:09:01.600 England, United States, whatever

01:09:04.220 Why are you doing this?

01:09:05.420 It can't be because you've genuinely calculated

01:09:08.420 It's in our best interest

01:09:10.220 No, so what is it?

01:09:13.020 You either hate us or you're being blackmailed or coerced in some way

01:09:17.020 By someone, something

01:09:19.240 otherwise it doesn't make sense

01:09:22.120 okay next one let's fracture things that's what they've called themselves

01:09:29.020 at let's fracture things 2807 they've put morning you're right yeah i'm all right i hope you are

01:12:28.200 As we speak

01:12:29.040 They're going to start raining down

01:12:30.980 On the west country

01:12:34.620 Okay

01:12:38.120 Oh one thing I'll say before

01:12:40.360 Oh no there it is

01:12:41.200 I'll get to it in a moment then

01:12:43.760 CG ma'am

01:12:45.340 I'll get to it in a moment

01:12:46.020 Okay next one there

01:12:47.200 Mr Dickie Bingo

01:12:48.040 Hope your eyesight's alright mate

01:12:49.480 he says flood season already still got my drought eggs up what's that mean decks oh drought decks

01:12:58.260 sorry drought decks up okay yeah hope your eyesight's right in fact just add to that where

01:13:03.260 mr dickie bingo said he's going to use his old dad's welding mask to look at the

01:13:08.040 the solar eclipse and i said yeah good idea then i saw an article on the bbc saying a guy lost his

01:13:13.920 eyesight or partially lost his eyesight for doing that so i like put out the alert to mr dickie

01:13:17.900 bingo saying don't do that but there are quite a few people said who obviously knew about welding

01:13:24.060 masks said no no wait it's it's probably fine actually there's all apparently i never knew

01:13:29.060 this i've never done any welding in my life not one moment of welding have i ever done

01:13:33.320 uh i said no there's loads of different types of welding mask there's different grades of

01:13:39.460 of it and above a certain grade you can totally look at the eclipse it's absolutely fine

01:13:44.060 So there you go

01:13:46.200 It would depend

01:13:47.480 It's a more granular detail

01:13:49.440 It would depend what type of welding mask it was

01:13:51.640 Some, according to many

01:13:53.520 You would be absolutely fine

01:13:55.100 Others, yeah, don't do it

01:13:57.460 Like looking at the sun through sunglasses

01:13:59.380 It's not good enough

01:14:00.100 There you go, anyway, I just thought I'd add to that

01:14:02.820 Okay, James Lee Pevenhole

01:14:05.380 Says

01:14:06.020 He says, heat

01:14:08.540 Heat, full stop

01:14:10.480 RAF Shawbury from 1959

01:14:13.560 1.4 degrees linear rise

01:14:16.820 okay

01:14:19.900 you're saying

01:14:23.340 you're saying that

01:14:24.680 between now and 1959

01:14:27.300 there's been a 1.4 degree

01:14:29.520 linear rise in

01:14:31.380 like temperature

01:14:32.540 is that what you're saying? I guess

01:14:34.960 okay

01:14:36.100 I wouldn't deny necessarily

01:14:40.260 that the global temperatures on average are going up

01:14:42.440 Whether it's

01:14:44.600 Man-made fossil fuel

01:14:47.040 CO2 that is driving that

01:14:49.080 That's what I'm questioning

01:14:50.780 Okay, speaking of which

01:14:52.580 CG MAM

01:14:53.600 Oh no, wait

01:14:54.800 Yeah, so yesterday

01:14:58.160 CG MAM

01:14:59.660 He said about India, I think

01:15:01.500 Apologies if I got this wrong

01:15:02.700 About India

01:15:03.560 And

01:15:05.680 Like, why don't we talk about it more

01:15:08.100 Or like the geopolitics stuff

01:15:09.820 Well, I said to

01:15:10.520 I did say to Faris

01:15:12.160 straight after the show yesterday had an interesting super chat we should talk more

01:15:17.440 about india that's your wheelhouse really your long-form content is exactly that sort of thing

01:15:21.320 talk about india more and um for us was completely receptive to that and said yeah you're right

01:15:27.400 they've got a point yeah it is it is of my importance doesn't get talked about enough

01:15:30.540 i will do that i'm not sure whether it'll be this week's geopolitics thing that ferez does or not but

01:15:36.700 I did say it to him and he was

01:15:39.100 He did say yes so

01:15:40.680 Okay now you've put here

01:15:42.620 You put Mr. Dade politely scolded me 1.00

01:15:45.320 For constantly stressing Indians 1.00

01:15:46.760 Asymmetric power and like 0.99

01:15:48.440 I didn't mean to scold you

01:15:49.920 I'm glad you've taken it in good spirit there

01:15:52.780 And said I politely scolded you

01:15:55.040 I didn't mean to scold you at all but okay 0.90

01:15:56.420 Asymmetric power unlike other poor countries

01:15:59.160 It's a real power and not easy

01:16:01.080 To challenge so today I'll just

01:16:03.100 Wish him a good day good day sir

01:16:04.640 No, thank you for that

01:16:06.640 I didn't mean to scold you

01:16:07.460 I think I did correct myself, didn't I?

01:16:11.160 A little bit tetchy, a little bit eggy 1.00

01:16:13.160 Like, uh, India, uh 1.00

01:16:14.280 And then I was like, oh no, sorry, I don't mean like that 1.00

01:16:16.460 No, you had a good point

01:16:17.380 It's a totally valid point, yeah

01:16:20.480 Avaras agreed with me as well

01:16:23.400 So, hopefully

01:16:25.200 Well, probably

01:16:26.200 We'll get some long-form Firas content

01:16:28.960 Focusing on Spain, on India

01:16:31.220 Of course, I don't know what exact angles
