00:00:00.000 oh good morning to you you all right
00:00:08.300 oh it's a bit too hot straight from the kettle burning all the way down my throat
00:00:15.760 leave that to cool for a moment are you all right though i hope you are sincerely hope you are
00:00:23.680 have a good evening me yeah i'm all right yeah i'm fine yeah of course i am yeah yeah
00:00:27.200 yeah it has just ticked eight in past eight in the a.m british summertime on tuesday we're now
00:00:33.800 on tuesday the 19th of may in the year of our law 2026 who are you guys you know who you are
00:00:39.300 you're the glorious band the chosen few the very best people on earth you're watching this you're
00:00:43.620 watching the bow show live you're watching breakfast with bow live in the chat getting
00:00:48.200 involved sending in super chats and stuff brilliant what could a boy ask for thank you
00:00:52.380 it's really thank you without you it's not a thing as always i'm joined by my producer this
00:00:56.600 morning little harry how are you good sir morning i'm all good disembodied voice of the all-powerful
00:01:02.720 god-like producer if you stop facking around why are we fannying about let's just get straight
00:01:10.180 into it what's that cabal of evil fleet street editors banging on about this morning what are
00:01:15.400 they trying to lie to you about by omission if nothing else what have we got what are they saying
00:01:20.060 we got starma sabotages burnham
00:01:23.440 in a sense not exactly and uh best of buddies which is a reference to the chelsea flower show
00:01:35.520 david beckham and alan titchmarsh we'll get into it don't worry about it we'll get into it it's
00:01:40.620 basically a bit more of a labor civil war day i don't want to spend like most of the show on it
00:01:46.180 because there are some more data points and some more things have come out but um maybe try and
00:01:52.740 at a few other stories this morning as well all right what have we got first the tori graph the
00:01:56.740 daily telegraph there we go last in just one of their supplements why do politicians insist on
00:02:02.340 running especially fat ones yeah like boris johnson running yeah okay between pie eating bouts he
00:02:16.580 pretends to go on a run okay daily telegraph starmas sabotages burnham on brexit pm says
00:02:23.960 uh debate could happen as challenger burnham seeks to seeks to keep leave voters on side
00:02:30.660 so i suppose this is one of the main the main points this morning so for the main new data
00:02:36.120 points although it's not massively new is it was sort of happening in the in the uh new cycle
00:02:43.100 yesterday so just to reiterate then really maybe you didn't see the show yesterday or you haven't
00:02:49.420 been watching the news over the last 24 36 hours or so burnham's going to be standing in that seat
00:02:54.140 in wigan right which was something like 65 percent leave during the referendum 10 years ago and all
00:03:01.980 their local councils were all of them went reform at the last local elections a week or two ago
00:03:07.260 so in other words broadly speaking then then they they won't take kindly they won't take kindly
00:03:14.920 to rejoining europe or the majority of them won't and the voter turnout along with nearly
00:03:22.760 everywhere else in the country is pretty damn low so there's also a massive chunk of them maybe as
00:03:26.800 much as half so disaffected by everything that they don't even bother turning out to vote even
00:03:32.680 for a strategic vote even for like reform and stuff well we'll see about reform but
00:03:37.800 the vote said out there was really low so in other words you can be relatively confident
00:03:43.100 they don't want to hear about rejoining europe that's not their thing in mostly white mostly
00:03:52.360 working class wigan right okay so but burnham that puts burnham on a bit of a sticky wicket
00:03:58.920 though doesn't it because he is proper lefty further to the left than starmer has been on
00:04:04.420 record the whole time being sort of pro eu was like a ramona a remainer right back in the day
00:04:12.900 10 years ago is it 10 years ago oh it doesn't seem that long ago i've said it before as you
00:04:19.660 get older months and years tick by like no one's business um so burnham has always been um you
00:04:27.120 know anti-Brexit and now he's trying to win a by-election in a pro-Brexit area and West
00:04:35.100 Streeting if you remember yesterday he came out and he said if he should enter any sort of
00:04:40.100 leadership election and or win his policies he would stand on a ticket of getting much much much
00:04:46.360 closer to the EU and ultimately rejoining the EU that was what he said not sort of immediately not
00:04:53.080 On day one of a Wes Streeting premiership
00:04:55.240 But that's what he would like to do
00:04:57.420 That's obviously an appeal to the left
00:04:59.320 Of the Labour Party, not to the country as a whole
00:05:01.480 But Wes Streeting's going to lose his seat
00:05:05.360 At the next general election anyway
00:05:06.360 Majorities razor thin, or 600 odd
00:05:08.520 Razor thin, but it's very, very small
00:05:10.460 That's not much at all
00:05:12.100 So that's what
00:05:15.260 And Keir Starmer is apparently
00:05:17.140 This is what the sabotage
00:05:19.360 Was referencing to
00:05:20.340 That's what this
00:05:21.440 at the top look some of sabotages well in is it's in this sense
00:05:25.760 that star was still like underlining his policy which is not to actually rejoin the eu or like
00:05:36.840 uh the free market or the freedom of movement stuff that goes with being in the eu but short
00:05:44.300 of that to get much much closer ties with europe where possible
00:05:50.060 in other words any talk from labor whether it's starmer or streeting or
00:05:53.660 whoever of closer relationship with the eu or
00:05:55.980 rejoining the eu any of that any and all of that undermines and
00:05:59.500 damages the burnham camp
00:06:03.260 as well as anyone reminding him that he has been
00:06:07.980 anti-brexit his entire political career well the last 10 years
00:06:14.300 here's a little bit of a difficult position
00:06:18.720 Burnham finds himself in
00:06:20.740 I think that's a great place
00:06:23.920 as far as restore are concerned
00:06:25.540 and reform
00:06:26.040 that's a great place
00:06:29.420 for a Labour MP to have stood down
00:06:32.080 to allow Andy Burnham a shot
00:06:34.000 at getting back into Westminster
00:06:35.560 it's almost perfect
00:06:38.560 for restore and reform
00:06:40.400 it's a labor seat i would have thought they would lose at the next general election
00:06:46.600 anyway regardless of anything it feels like it's a slam dunk sort of a place
00:06:52.900 for right-leaning right-of-center parties
00:06:57.020 maybe people said and may well be right
00:07:02.020 that that that josh simons the guy that stepped down for burnham was always a diehard i mean
00:07:09.840 truly truly die hard died in the wall to the ends of the earth starmer partisan could it be
00:07:16.640 could it be a little bit of 4d chess from from the starmer camp when burnham's sort of shopping
00:07:25.320 around for someone to to vacate their seat for him you know most mps wouldn't want to do that
00:07:31.180 it's the end of their political career at least for a while if you're labor probably forever
00:07:34.920 so you know unless you're promised something very very good why would you do that maybe
00:07:43.180 I don't think Starmer is this sort of clever I don't think he's like this
00:07:46.760 this rate of a chess player but maybe he thought looked at the map looked at various things and
00:07:52.200 was like Josh Simmons in in Wigan in Makerfield hmm if he were to step aside ostensibly for Burnham
00:08:02.880 in aid of Burnham,
00:08:06.320 that seat will probably lose it.
00:08:09.180 It might be that, mightn't it?
00:08:10.220 Do you give Starmer that much credit
00:08:12.100 that he was playing that sort of game?
00:08:13.700 Him and Simmons contrived that.
00:08:16.580 Maybe.
00:08:17.660 I suspect not, but maybe.
00:08:20.500 It's difficult to take that Josh Simmons at his word
00:08:22.760 because he said,
00:08:23.900 I genuinely think this is the best thing for the party.
00:08:26.720 It's the best thing for the party and Britain.
00:08:29.120 I stand aside and let Andy,
00:08:30.640 let Andy
00:08:32.980 bumham become the next
00:08:35.500 Prime Minister or the next leader in Prime Minister
00:08:37.420 it's difficult to take
00:08:39.560 that Josh Summers at his word because he's such 1.00
00:08:41.720 a scumbag 1.00
00:08:42.360 the worst type of 1.00
00:08:47.140 politician you can imagine really
00:08:49.160 completely
00:08:51.580 amoral
00:08:52.360 just look at that scandal he was embroiled
00:08:57.840 in where his
00:08:59.200 Labour affiliated think tank thing
00:09:01.340 Pro Starmer think tank thing was
00:09:02.680 Embroiled in some sort of scandal about
00:09:04.660 I think quite literally
00:09:06.960 Spying on
00:09:09.260 Journalists
00:09:10.040 Daily Mail journalists or something 0.98
00:09:12.160 Dirty chicks 1.00
00:09:14.600 Really 1.00
00:09:15.980 So okay, Starmer and
00:09:19.020 Streeting
00:09:20.220 Talking up pro EU sentiment
00:09:23.380 Which sabotages
00:09:25.020 Quote unquote, sabotages Burnham
00:09:26.740 Alright, there you go
00:09:29.200 what else have we got on the front page a little bit today i think it well it was in the news a
00:09:34.100 couple of weeks ago mention of the david beckham golden balls the so david beckham
00:09:41.480 uh was entering personally entering some sort of uh some sort of entry into the chelsea flower show
00:09:52.360 anyone in england britain would know what that is but just in case you're foreign or you're
00:09:57.120 america you might not have ever heard of that exactly what it says on the tin the place in
00:10:01.320 west london chelsea quite posh place nice place um that has a flower show it's as simple as that
00:10:08.860 but for some reason some reason in britain it's uh in some circles it's kind of a big deal
00:10:15.980 i just don't say a big deal but every year when it comes on like the papers will mention it oh
00:10:21.320 chelsea flower show next week no like they'll mention um the grand national or something or
00:10:25.300 mention the fa cup or something like oh chelsea flower show right unless you're into horticulture
00:10:33.620 and gardening and flowers you wouldn't care at all if you are it's sort of like a big deal all right so
00:10:42.740 david beckham there you go who would have thought beckham was into into flowers
00:10:48.660 and then this guy again if you're foreign if you're british you would know if you're not
00:10:51.780 that's alan titchmarsh and he's just sort of has been for years and years and years a staple of
00:10:56.100 sort of tv gardening shows beckham and titchmarsh are now best of buddies
00:11:05.620 best of buddies that's it that's all that is but it's on the front pages of the papers a fair bit
00:11:11.060 okay slop i mean quite a wholesome slop isn't it for once but um slop so we'll move on from it um
00:11:21.780 also in the torograph we've got Streetings NHS home working revolution
00:11:26.180 puts patients at risk probably how can you work from home in the NHS oh actually
00:11:32.500 if there's loads of administration type staff actually could work from home but
00:11:38.860 there's all sorts of questions at the moment whether the NHS is doing better
00:11:42.180 than expected at the moment you know where Streetings resignation letter and
00:11:46.540 in Sir Queer's response to that they were both sort of in agreement that the
00:11:51.160 NHS is doing much better at the moment waiting this star down and it was a good
00:11:55.340 job street streeting had done a good job try and use the NHS might form a
00:12:01.080 different opinion okay all right the mirror some of the
00:12:06.000 worst slop in the mirror mirrors like it's down there with the star and the
00:12:12.180 Sun in some ways worst in some ways worse
00:12:16.360 Their farage and reform derangement syndrome
00:12:19.940 Is pretty bad
00:12:21.940 It's one of the worst ones
00:12:22.920 The Mirror, for some reason
00:12:23.960 Who owns the Mirror?
00:12:28.340 Okay, look, Best of Buddies again
00:12:29.880 They say it goes with the same thing
00:12:30.860 Best of Buddies
00:12:31.640 Oh, and the King, sorry 0.96
00:12:32.660 Titchmarsh 1.00
00:12:33.580 Bex 0.91
00:12:35.040 And Sausage Fingers, Saxe-Cobo-Gotha 0.76
00:12:37.720 There you go, all in one picture 0.79
00:12:39.000 Boom
00:12:39.540 Right
00:12:42.080 Starmer's Defiant Message
00:12:43.600 I won't walk away
00:12:45.620 PM rejects call to set out departure timetable
00:12:48.420 And is up for the fight
00:12:50.420 But Burnham says he'll lead Labour charge
00:12:53.680 As he rules out Brexit rerun
00:12:55.660 So, this is one little data point then
00:12:58.300 Over the weekend it was reported
00:13:00.640 I think I talked about it yesterday briefly, didn't I?
00:13:03.920 On Brexit with both, hashtag the real BBC
00:13:05.500 That there was reports, I think Dan Hodges
00:13:10.200 Or more than one person mentioning
00:13:12.080 That Keir Starmer spent the weekend at Chequers
00:13:14.900 you know the prime ministerial country rural retreat mentioned country house place
00:13:21.300 and he was considering his considering his position considering his future
00:13:27.620 which is a bit different isn't it to simply i will fight on there is no timetable
00:13:32.580 starma bot will not resign under any circumstances be built beep well looks like looks like that
00:13:40.340 that reporting was either inaccurate or he might have had a wobble and decided no I'm still going
00:13:44.880 to fight on because that's what he's saying now he's saying I I won't walk away if and when there
00:13:49.600 is any sort of leadership contest with Burnham probably just with Burnham isn't it mainly
00:13:54.500 because the others just don't seem to have the support in the wider membership if nothing else
00:14:01.200 I'll talk about that in a moment he's saying he will he will fight on he's confirmed that
00:14:05.160 He's confirming that.
00:14:07.580 It's consistent with what he's always said and what he's like, isn't it?
00:14:11.440 A Starmer bot that he would, like a Ceausescu figure,
00:14:14.260 would never, ever, ever give up on power, regardless of anything.
00:14:19.000 The world can burn and collapse around him before he would dream of doing such a thing.
00:14:24.620 Alright then.
00:14:27.960 Yeah, and Burnham is like trying to distance himself from pro-EU sentiment.
00:14:34.420 Even his own previous
00:14:36.140 Pro-EU sentiment
00:14:38.260 Because the voters in
00:14:40.640 Makerfield are not going to
00:14:42.020 Not going to want to hear that
00:14:44.580 Not going to want to hear that
00:14:46.780 Okay
00:14:47.180 The Financial Times
00:14:49.600 Burnham tries to ease markets while vowing
00:14:52.280 To reverse sell-offs
00:14:53.860 This is just something about a little bit how the bond markets
00:14:56.540 The gilt-edged
00:14:57.280 Bond markets were a little bit jittery
00:15:00.640 Where
00:15:00.920 Burnham
00:15:04.420 Andy Bumham had said that he would, a paraphrase,
00:15:09.620 he basically said he would stick largely or almost entirely
00:15:12.560 with the financial policies that the current Labour government
00:15:17.600 are going with, like Rachel Reeves, Rachel Reeves' vision
00:15:20.800 of the economy and the Exchequer.
00:15:23.820 He'd sort of stay with that.
00:15:28.080 Good one. Good one.
00:15:31.620 Does that really please anyone?
00:15:32.500 there's people on the left of the party and to the left in in sort of the wider chattering classes
00:15:38.900 like owen jones or something they're not going to be happy with that they would have liked him to go
00:15:42.500 further deeper to the left and every everyone else to the right of the labour party are not
00:15:49.420 happy with that it's like well rachel reeves's economic vision is disastrous 0.97
00:15:55.100 it was stupid sort of obviously doomed to tank our economy so is anyone really happy with that 0.92
00:16:03.580 other than that it just settles the bond markets a bit 0.98
00:16:06.380 labor front runner backs fiscal rules guilt yields bonds government bonds a retreat following pledge
00:16:16.940 all right is burnham going to be a whole different change not really he'll be exactly the same as
00:16:23.580 armor but a bit more to the left there won't be any profound change particularly on immigration
00:16:30.060 right he's a he's a safe and legal roots guy try to talk to andy burnham about re-migration then 0.95
00:16:36.140 no of course not you're an evil fascist nazi if you do that if you want to just even put caps any 0.58
00:16:41.820 cap no matter how big even if you said can't we cap it at like some astronomical disastrous 0.98
00:16:48.780 demographic destroying number can't we cap it at half a million a year no not even that
00:16:52.780 Any question of a cap just leads them to retort with
00:16:58.780 We need more safe and legal routes
00:17:00.840 That's who Andy Burnham is, he's one of those people
00:17:02.820 Effectively open borders
00:17:05.080 So don't expect anything profoundly to be addressed
00:17:09.500 About all our problems in this country
00:17:11.800 Which nearly all stem from, nearly all downstream from 0.98
00:17:15.100 The millions and millions of new people that are here, doesn't it? 0.89
00:17:22.780 Nope, Andy Bumham won't address any of that, because he's a traitor, essentially. 1.00
00:17:29.120 Right, something about Nige here. 1.00
00:17:30.360 Remember when he was in I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here? 1.00
00:17:32.700 Remember that?
00:17:35.800 Bush Tucker Denial.
00:17:39.340 Baraj's accountants challenged claims he paid 1.5 million pounds for a house with TV fee.
00:17:48.200 The money he got paid to be on I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.
00:17:52.120 Did he buy his 1.4 million pound house with that money
00:17:55.420 Or perhaps with the 5 million pound
00:17:56.940 He was given by that crypto millionaire dude
00:17:59.120 I don't really care one way or another
00:18:02.760 I want to defeat reform
00:18:08.100 I don't care about this sort of nonsense really
00:18:13.440 If he's shown to have 0.61
00:18:17.660 Truly sort of been corrupt
00:18:19.980 And truly, you know, taken money in a nefarious, illegal way
00:18:25.800 That's a story to me
00:18:27.180 But what he actually does with the money
00:18:31.280 I don't particularly care
00:18:33.240 Again, as long as it's not sort of illegal or anything
00:18:37.240 Buying a house isn't illegal, is it?
00:18:39.500 So
00:18:39.760 It's just a bit of Nigel Noyes
00:18:43.060 Lewis Brackwell the other day characterised it as Nigel Noyes
00:18:46.420 I think so, yeah
00:18:49.980 Oh, Musk in the news
00:18:53.600 Musk's case against Altman OpenAI
00:18:56.080 Dismissed for being outside time limit
00:18:58.560 So yeah, Musk was taking that Sam Altman
00:19:02.720 To court
00:19:03.760 About OpenAI
00:19:07.000 And lost the case
00:19:09.520 It was something to do with statute of limitations
00:19:12.100 That Musk, that's what the court ruled
00:19:15.940 That Musk needed to have taken
00:19:19.560 Altman to court earlier than he did
00:19:22.720 There's some of the details like
00:19:25.660 Musk said he only knew about the
00:19:27.800 Altman's alleged wrongdoing
00:19:31.180 Only two or three years ago or something
00:19:33.760 There's some emails shown
00:19:35.020 He must have known about it years before that
00:19:36.800 Therefore it's outside the statute of limitations
00:19:38.480 Therefore the case is dismissed
00:19:40.040 Okay there's that
00:19:41.000 Okay
00:19:41.760 Doesn't really get to the true true nub of it though
00:19:45.480 Does it
00:19:45.860 Like, did Sam Altman do anything wrong
00:19:52.000 Or, you know, out of order
00:19:53.560 Sort of stealing the code or whatever
00:19:57.900 I don't know, I'm not
00:19:59.020 I'm not a coder, I'm a real boomer
00:20:01.420 I don't understand
00:20:02.040 I don't want to even understand
00:20:03.920 All the technical details of it
00:20:05.360 But
00:20:05.560 The question of whether
00:20:08.680 Sam Altman did anything
00:20:10.220 Out of order or wrong
00:20:11.460 It was not addressed
00:20:13.140 It was just, it's outside the Statue of Limitations
00:20:14.820 So
00:20:15.240 all right they're male absolute globalist slot trying to pretend it's not
00:20:24.640 again i know this is only like uh say i said yesterday i've said it a few times
00:20:30.340 i know this is only like they're trying to shill or sell their their insert magazine whatever
00:20:34.780 look how anti look how quick look i'm secret secretly giving my daughter this is my my 17
00:20:43.580 year old daughter my
00:20:45.420 Munjaro jabs
00:20:46.700 as though that's like a good
00:20:51.680 thing, as though that's like
00:20:52.960 something you want splashed over the
00:20:55.520 headlines, as though
00:20:56.420 you're secretly
00:20:59.580 giving your 17 year old daughter
00:21:01.100 drugs on some level, in some way
00:21:03.380 man
00:21:04.640 man
00:21:06.720 okay, something about Kylie
00:21:09.480 there, I don't really care about Kylie
00:21:10.620 Labour's civil war, slippery
00:21:13.380 bum hams two u-turns in one day they say that's how they characterize it he changed his mind on
00:21:20.740 uh britain rejoining eu yeah there's always been a staunch remainer isn't he i'm sorry
00:21:27.700 yeah yeah yeah staunch remainer to stand in pro-brexit area and now says he'll stick with
00:21:33.140 reeves's rules meaning tax hikes but again i say yes that's what leftist politics is
00:21:41.780 tax big spend big just it's just that isn't it nearly always
00:21:48.900 of course burnham wouldn't do anything different of course not
00:21:53.380 don't worry about that we're being taxed more than we've ever been i mean i think ever ever ever
00:22:00.900 some of the highest tax rates in the world people struggling to make ends meet
00:22:06.260 we're spending way beyond our means struggling to repay the interest repayments on what we've
00:22:16.020 borrowed that's right if that was your personal finances you're in dire dire straits
00:22:21.400 if they were your personal finances you would be looking at filing for bankruptcy and stuff
00:22:28.900 you'd be very close to being homeless and stuff you can't really afford to repay the interest
00:22:35.300 repayments or money you've borrowed and you're just simply not getting in enough money to do that
00:22:43.220 anyone that would lend to you takes a look at your situation like i don't think so
00:22:49.060 or uh yeah that's not it's a bad it's a bad spot bad spot for us to be in
00:22:55.300 Andy Burnham says he wants to end austerity not really in austerity like true austerity you know
00:23:07.100 like the Great Depression or just after World War II type austerity like David Cameron's austerity
00:23:13.220 wasn't that austere was it really just keep spending just keep borrowing and spending
00:23:18.100 Keep taxing, borrowing and spending
00:23:19.720 Now the responsible thing to do
00:23:24.280 Would be to slash spending
00:23:26.680 Now that's not popular is it
00:23:29.620 With normal people
00:23:30.420 Start staring down the barrel of real austerity
00:23:34.040 Real, real austerity
00:23:36.000 But that doesn't really win votes does it
00:23:38.860 People want Gibbs
00:23:40.160 But it is the right thing to do
00:23:43.800 And they moan about how we're like
00:23:46.580 We're at the beck and call of the guilt market
00:23:49.740 It's like the evil guilt markets
00:23:50.960 Are holding us to ransom in some way
00:23:52.480 And we borrowed to the hilt from them
00:23:56.260 I always think that's weird when lefties
00:23:59.240 Try and characterise it as though it's like
00:24:02.060 It's this evil bond market
00:24:04.100 Won't let us do what we want
00:24:05.180 Won't let us spend an endless amount of money
00:24:07.040 Why are they doing that?
00:24:08.480 Who are they to do that to us?
00:24:11.560 You've fundamentally misunderstood
00:24:13.000 What's going on here
00:24:13.820 We owe them money already
00:24:16.240 ready the best thing to do the most important thing to do be to cut spending massively
00:24:23.300 and try and pay back our national debts and then look where we are and it would be hard wouldn't
00:24:31.880 it would be it would be actual austerity but it's that or or go down sort of an endless
00:24:39.300 an endless cycle of getting in more and more and more debt until what till we have to borrow
00:24:44.340 loads of money from the international monetary fund until we default on our national debts or
00:24:50.900 what i don't know all right but while you've got lefties at number 11 and in the treasury
00:25:02.260 they won't stop they won't stop i don't know any other way all right the times the venerable times
00:25:08.020 End of an era
00:25:10.620 Pep Guardiola expected to leave Man City
00:25:13.220 Don't care, the manager of Manchester City Football Club
00:25:15.240 Don't care
00:25:15.620 Burnham far ahead of Starmer in Labour vote
00:25:18.760 And I think that will be a reference to
00:25:20.680 The Labour Party membership
00:25:23.300 So a quick word or two on that
00:25:24.980 It's all very well isn't it
00:25:28.300 For anyone, whether it's Burnham or Streeting or whoever
00:25:31.720 To get 81 MPs to back their bid
00:25:37.260 To trigger a leadership election
00:25:39.360 That's one thing
00:25:40.500 But it would almost certainly
00:25:44.740 Probably
00:25:45.160 Boil down to a two horse race
00:25:48.940 At which point the membership
00:25:50.700 And unions get a vote
00:25:52.540 Get a say in it
00:25:53.340 Say in it
00:25:54.960 So if there was one person
00:25:59.140 That all the polls suggest
00:26:00.740 Wins that easily
00:26:03.100 Then that's it right
00:26:04.680 That's the whole ball game
00:26:05.400 That's the whole kit and caboodle
00:26:07.200 assuming they get to the last two is there any such personage yeah andy burnham yeah
00:26:14.080 he's much more popular among labour party membership and the unions than keir starmer much more
00:26:23.040 so keir starmer would have to try and beat him in an earlier round of the
00:26:27.040 leadership election that doesn't look like either
00:26:31.520 yeah so two-thirds want new pm by next general election
00:26:36.720 The numbers don't look good for Keir Starmer, do they?
00:26:42.340 I mean, it's not going to happen anytime soon now, is it?
00:26:44.540 Everyone's waiting for this by-election to come.
00:26:46.900 I think the vote, is it on the 18th of June?
00:26:49.640 That's what I heard somewhere.
00:26:50.500 17th, 18th of June, something like that.
00:26:52.180 So pretty much, almost exactly a month from now.
00:26:57.240 And then, let's just assume for a moment,
00:26:59.320 for the sake of argument, for the sake of discussion.
00:27:02.640 Let's just assume Andy Burnham wins that.
00:27:06.720 then i think kisama's done really he must be finished at that point because
00:27:13.280 he well as i say if it comes down to the final two he will lose that
00:27:18.820 will he take it all the way to the limit push it to the limit
00:27:23.660 will he will he go right to the bitter end to the final two and then get whooped
00:27:32.860 At that point
00:27:35.060 Maybe, probably, what other
00:27:37.000 Unless he does decide to stand down
00:27:39.300 Of his own free will
00:27:40.740 Alright
00:27:44.460 Someone named a rose, in fact was it even a David Beckham rose
00:27:47.520 Someone named a rose after Kate Moss
00:27:49.900 Kate Moss who was a supermodel
00:27:52.340 Like 30 years ago or more 1.00
00:27:54.120 She looks alright for her age, doesn't she?
00:27:59.480 There you go 0.99
00:28:02.860 Lammy to raise criminal age for children
00:28:06.780 This is an interesting thing 0.90
00:28:07.740 Over the weekend and yesterday
00:28:09.400 And today
00:28:10.240 David Lammy has been talking about
00:28:12.860 Various things to do with
00:28:14.780 Prosecuting children
00:28:17.020 And possibly
00:28:19.580 Prosecuting the parents of criminal children
00:28:23.180 One thing in the news yesterday
00:28:25.140 Which I just didn't get round to
00:28:26.300 It was just one of the other stories
00:28:27.540 Was that there was talk of
00:28:29.240 There was rumblings
00:28:29.940 Oh yeah there was rumblings
00:28:30.840 That Lammy wanted to introduce legislation
00:28:33.860 Which meant that
00:28:35.260 If your kid
00:28:36.640 Did serious crime
00:28:39.400 That you as the parent
00:28:41.760 Could be
00:28:43.600 You know criminally liable
00:28:45.540 In some way
00:28:46.260 Depending on the circumstances of course
00:28:50.680 Like for example
00:28:53.280 There's the Southport
00:28:54.500 Kid, I say kid, he was 17 though wasn't he
00:28:57.560 So he was not an adult
00:28:59.180 Even though he was 17
00:29:01.080 As it stands at the moment
00:29:04.520 His parents can't be
00:29:06.060 I don't think
00:29:07.200 Can be charged with anything particularly
00:29:08.980 Even though when you look at the details of the case
00:29:11.580 And the inquiry has
00:29:13.360 That they definitely
00:29:15.000 Are guilty of some failings
00:29:17.500 If you put it that way
00:29:18.460 Failings
00:29:19.200 That they knew what type of person he was
00:29:22.980 What he had in his mind
00:29:24.180 I don't think they knew exactly
00:29:27.040 What he was going to go and do that day
00:29:28.700 But there were many, many times when they could have, should have reported him to the police
00:29:35.380 Reported him to his mental health carer, worker, person, all sorts of stuff
00:29:40.020 Reported that he had knives and crazy things
00:29:42.220 Not only didn't they do that, it seems like they even helped cover it up
00:29:46.700 Lying by omission again, if nothing else, all that stuff
00:29:50.280 Now, at this point, as a current law stand, they can't be prosecuted for anything
00:29:55.800 As far as the law is concerned
00:29:57.980 They're not responsible in any way
00:29:59.300 But they are aren't they
00:30:00.720 But they are
00:30:01.760 So okay
00:30:05.340 I'm not necessarily against that
00:30:08.580 It's funny it's coming from Lammy and the left
00:30:11.360 And the Labour Party
00:30:12.020 Because usually the left are the type of party
00:30:16.700 That would not go down that route
00:30:20.080 Like how could you hold somebody else responsible
00:30:21.980 For somebody else's crime
00:30:22.940 That sort of argument
00:30:24.340 you know if the Tories wanted to hold parents responsible for the crimes of their children
00:30:28.640 you can imagine Labour in opposition would go berserk about it the Lib Dems would go berserk
00:30:34.560 about it because it's them so there's that the whole discussion around are parents responsible
00:30:42.220 for the crimes of their children different to that well adjacent but different to that
00:30:45.980 let me say he wants to raise the criminal age for children so in Britain and Wales at the moment I
00:30:51.740 think it's 10 years old if you do a crime and you're under 10 there's just a whole different
00:30:58.660 set of so for example you remember the jamie bulger murder anyone doesn't remember it's a
00:31:04.000 long time ago it's like the 1990s two little kids and they were little they were under 10
00:31:08.340 i think they were seven or eight or nine at the time they abducted a little toddler to a three
00:31:13.580 year old jamie bulger and then they tortured and murdered him terrible terrible terrible
00:31:18.420 unbelievable crime but they were so young that it was like a special special case like what do you
00:31:27.240 do with like small children that do something like because of course it's very very rare isn't
00:31:31.880 it it's super rare but it does happen it does happen um all right so there's that but you have
00:31:40.460 to put them in some sort of special mental secure hospital don't you for for quite a long time
00:31:45.140 Although they're both out now, although one went back
00:31:47.480 Anyway, anyway
00:31:49.040 David Lammy wants to raise it from
00:31:51.880 10 to 12
00:31:53.040 And in some cases perhaps a little older
00:32:00.000 Even, was there some talk of 14
00:32:01.620 Possibly as high as 14
00:32:04.280 Seems odd to me though
00:32:07.180 What's wrong with the current system exactly?
00:32:12.980 Um
00:32:15.140 Because I imagine there's quite a few children under the age of 14 that do do crime, quite often in fact
00:32:22.400 Incredibly, what a horrible indictment of our society that is
00:32:26.260 That you get a 13 year old who does some sort of knife attack
00:32:29.620 That's not, that's far from impossible isn't it?
00:32:35.600 Again, it's not all that common, it's not insanely rare
00:32:38.820 So why does he want to do that?
00:32:41.860 I don't know, who knows what goes on in the mind of David Lammy
00:32:45.000 Because he was at the Justice Department
00:32:50.580 He thinks he's some sort of master of jurisprudence
00:32:52.960 He knows about the nature of justice and stuff
00:32:56.580 No, he doesn't even know who Mary Antoinette is
00:32:59.240 He doesn't know
00:33:01.700 He thinks Henry VII came after Henry VIII 1.00
00:33:05.560 I mean, he's a true, true moron 1.00
00:33:06.980 Alright, The Guardian, ugh 1.00
00:33:08.080 The Stankham Harry, ugh
00:33:10.420 The Guardian, ugh 0.60

00:33:21.960 some actress no michael fassbender just a little tidbit fun fact he's actually a race car driver
00:33:29.600 no genuinely genuinely not formula i think he races in um what is it like gt3 gt2 something
00:33:38.580 like that he's not bad either i mean he's not doesn't set the world alive isn't he's not going
00:33:42.740 to be a world champion or anything he's not going to win le mans in his class or anything but he's
00:33:48.420 quite competitive he's quite good he's a better driver than you or me whoever you are no he's good
00:33:56.740 he's really good imagine that being an a-lister and then like your side gig your side hustle
00:34:03.060 you're actually competitively good at the thing whatever it is
00:34:07.220 you know cumberbatch is really good at tennis sometimes qualifiers for wimbledon
00:34:14.340 bass bender he can drive a race car on the limit of grip not many people can do that okay burnham
00:34:22.260 labor must change to regain trust all right bum ham all right mate just just just 0.64
00:34:26.900 Faraj house purchase under fresh scrutiny
00:34:31.720 Deadly outbreaks more frequent and damaging
00:34:36.520 That's to do with the Ebola thing
00:34:37.820 A few people have died of Ebola now in Uganda
00:34:40.300 Don't worry too much
00:34:42.520 It shouldn't reach you wherever you are 1.00
00:34:44.340 Unless you're watching this in Uganda 0.98
00:34:46.240 In which case 0.97
00:34:47.080 Stay safe, you know
00:34:49.780 The Express
00:34:51.340 Oh, it's a good paper
00:34:53.120 It's not their complete slop
00:34:56.040 When I got in trouble with Hope Not Hate and got deselected from reform
00:35:00.700 And the Daily Record, that socialist Scottish rag
00:35:05.880 Put me on their front page
00:35:07.120 The Daily Express, I think the man as well
00:35:09.780 They ran a little story about me as well 0.99
00:35:12.140 Scumbags, absolutely scumbags 0.99
00:35:15.340 Deliberately misrepresenting what I said 1.00
00:35:21.440 Just going with whatever Hope Not Hate said I said
00:35:23.980 Completely out of context
00:35:25.960 deliberately so express pure globalist filth again trying to pretend trying to pretend they're sort
00:35:31.920 of they're patriotic or on your side as the nativists you're a subversion like all the rest
00:35:41.960 of them okay they go with 66 back the financial guarantee for pensioners despite proposals to
00:35:49.460 exit it's about the triple lock on pensions i won't bore you too much with it britain's want
00:35:54.420 to keep pension triple lock do they well old old people that are of pension age or close they would
00:36:01.460 don't they do young people want to well according to no one i know does no one at all no one's
00:36:06.980 actually no one i know that's younger or even sort of middle-aged my age in their 40s
00:36:11.220 we've got we've got any hope of getting any sort of state pension i expect by that point
00:36:17.540 the economy and the treasury the the national purse will be in such a terrible state they
00:36:22.820 They won't give us any pensions
00:36:24.060 But according to the Express
00:36:26.460 Their own poll or something
00:36:28.700 Or is it YouGov
00:36:29.380 Reckon that 66% of people want it
00:36:35.700 And even 44% of 18 to 34 year olds
00:36:39.240 Are in favour of the triple lock pension
00:36:42.180 I find that difficult to believe
00:36:44.360 44% of young people
00:36:46.900 Want their future ripped away from them 0.92
00:36:50.260 So pensioners can have more money right now
00:36:53.220 i don't know anyone i i don't know anyone that's younger who holds that opinion irl not one person
00:37:02.580 all right okay don't worry about that the express is completely partisan on the issue
00:37:10.020 and has had its own its own campaign in order to save the triple lock don't worry about that
00:37:16.980 Don't worry about whether they might be misrepresenting reality and the truth
00:37:21.520 Papers, Fleet Street, never worried about that, have they?
00:37:24.720 They've never worried about that
00:37:25.580 Okay, here's an interesting thing about transport
00:37:28.660 HS2, for anyone who doesn't know, it's a new train line we're building in Britain
00:37:35.140 HS2, it's supposed to be like a brand new cutting edge, super fast train line
00:37:40.400 It's going to go all the way up to the north, I believe
00:37:42.480 But then the whole project's been beset
00:37:45.180 By an insane amount of setbacks and problems
00:37:48.060 Costing an insane amount of money
00:37:49.640 It's going from London to Birmingham at the moment
00:37:53.340 Well anyway, let's just read the current stuff
00:37:56.860 HS2 will cost more than NASA's Artemis moon mission
00:38:00.400 How?
00:38:02.420 Who's embezzling all this money?
00:38:04.160 An insane amount of money
00:38:04.980 £100 billion
00:38:06.040 And another 10 years
00:38:08.320 It's already been going on for years and years and years
00:38:10.060 and spent untold billions on it another hundred billion okay the blurb says
00:38:16.720 uk's stripped back high-speed link because it was going to be much much bigger and more ambitious
00:38:22.200 originally it already the stripped back version is set to become the most expensive rail line in
00:38:27.780 the world it's only from london to birmingham it's not that far
00:38:34.180 what is that 100 miles maybe less more than 80 120 miles it's something in that ballpark
00:38:42.600 i think it's not a fantastic distance all right the most expensive line in the world
00:38:47.160 with further delays and higher costs expected when new timetable is announced today well
00:38:53.180 that'll probably be the transport secretary won't it heidi alexander the right honorable
00:38:57.200 Heidi Alexander, the MP for Swindon South. 1.00
00:39:04.060 Big fat mess for a woman. 1.00
00:39:05.640 She can't even get her own diet in order, let alone the transport system. 1.00
00:39:11.240 New cost estimates for beleaguered, oh, 140 miles, sorry, 140 mile line,
00:39:18.060 140 mile rail line, likely to reach around 100 billion pounds.
00:39:23.340 You get that that's an insane number, right?
00:39:27.760 You hear about billions being thrown around all over the place.
00:39:30.260 Billions here, billion there, 10 billion here, 10 billion there.
00:39:33.540 100 billion pounds is an insane number.
00:39:37.500 You know, like the James Webb Space Telescope cost, what, 10 billion pounds, is it?
00:39:42.200 Or is it 20? Something like that.
00:39:43.580 So, yeah, 100 billion is less than the Artemis mission to go to the moon.
00:39:47.780 Well, the blurb continues.
00:39:49.000 More than NASA's 79 billion pound projected cost for his Artemis mission to land astronauts on the moon.
00:39:56.340 How is it costing us £100 billion
00:39:58.840 To build a railway to Birmingham
00:40:00.500 How is that
00:40:02.580 How is it possible
00:40:03.820 Something
00:40:06.560 Deeply profoundly wrong with this country
00:40:09.160 Isn't there
00:40:09.780 You hear stories
00:40:12.980 Stories like this all the time
00:40:14.840 A local council
00:40:17.240 Or the government or whoever
00:40:18.520 Wanted to build a bridge
00:40:20.440 Not like some sort of giant bridge
00:40:23.800 Spanning the severn
00:40:24.940 Or spanning
00:40:25.500 the thames or something just a normal sort of local bridge a little project and it takes them
00:40:32.720 like five years ten years and costs them like a billion pounds or something it's like brewster's
00:40:38.860 millions someone somewhere is very very very deliberately spending as much as they possibly
00:40:43.600 can on it taking as long as they possibly can and making the budget spiral out of control
00:40:49.180 for what purpose who's who's gaining out of all of that 1.00
00:40:52.660 okay transport secretary Heidi Alexander big fat mess Heidi Alexander expected to announce 1.00
00:41:01.120 cost-saving measures such as slower speeds the whole point of it is that it was going to be
00:41:06.000 super fast that was the whole point of it you can already go from London to Birmingham
00:41:10.420 you can already get a train from London to Birmingham the whole point of this
00:41:14.380 was it was going to be super fast originally it was to get to the north super fast the whole
00:41:20.900 point of it so now they're compromising on the speed of it and the completion date will likely
00:41:27.280 be pushed back again again it's already years over years and years over pushback with trains
00:41:33.700 running to Birmingham by 2035 it would be funny wouldn't it if it weren't so sort of tragic if it 0.69
00:41:48.360 weren't so embarrassing and pathetic it would be funny wouldn't it 0.92
00:41:51.720 comedy of errors 0.99
00:41:55.160 the lunatics have taken over the asylum haven't they running things how is that possible
00:42:02.720 so everything about it let's be fair zoom out everything about hs2 is an abject failure isn't
00:42:11.520 it supposed to go to the north it was supposed to be super fast it's not going to do either of
00:42:16.640 those things and it's going to cost an insane amount more than it was supposed to and take an
00:42:20.400 insanely longer time than it was supposed to could you fail any harder as a project manager
00:42:23.960 if you're a project manager could you have failed any harder no not really the metro
00:42:29.860 ugh the metro
00:42:35.220 stop picking up the metro yeah if you're uh you go to london it's a london thing isn't it
00:42:44.660 the free paper stop picking it up why would you it's just the worst kind of slop they've got a
00:42:52.100 little story here c hole surgery granddad's brain reached via eye socket in uk first so it's not
00:42:59.620 completely insane slop but it's just not really national news this guy had had some sort of a
00:43:05.620 brain tumor or brain aneurysm or something and instead of boring a hole in his skull
00:43:09.620 they went in through his eye socket and sorted it out that way so good i mean interesting
00:43:16.420 the wonders of modern medicine that's that's interesting and cool is it front page national
00:43:23.220 news when you could talk about anything anything that's going on in the world no not really okay
00:43:28.820 the daily start oh look jezza anyone who's not watching this is only listening to it i'm talking
00:43:36.580 about jeremy clarkson not jeremy corbyn jezza jezza's in trouble or was there's jezza's heart

00:43:51.460 heart it says jeremy clarkson speaks for the first time about his health scare in the new clarkson's
00:43:58.180 farm trailer saying his heart wasn't getting any blood he's all right though he's not
00:44:06.580 Dead or anything
00:44:07.040 But
00:44:08.880 That's not good is it 0.94
00:44:10.720 Poor old Jezza
00:44:11.620 If his heart wasn't getting any blood
00:44:15.120 So what
00:44:15.500 It was like
00:44:15.880 His arteries
00:44:18.080 Or his veins
00:44:19.120 Were clogged up
00:44:20.020 Too much smoking
00:44:23.540 And too many pyres
00:44:24.740 I don't want to be out of order
00:44:25.900 But
00:44:26.240 I'm a fan of Jezza
00:44:27.200 But you know
00:44:27.920 Oh no he quit smoking didn't he
00:44:30.800 He famously quit smoking

00:44:33.140 Still

00:44:34.660 Who am I to judge
00:44:35.520 I'm a smoker

00:44:54.020 Katie Price

00:47:32.940 when you're up against adversity whatever it is whatever it is whether it's a full-blown world war
00:47:38.940 Or it's just some little tiff with a friend
00:47:44.480 That you're determined not to lose
00:47:47.160 Tiny little thing, tiny little clash of wheels for someone
00:47:49.980 Or a full war, whatever it is
00:47:54.060 Your frame of mind, your morale, your esprit de corps
00:47:59.540 Your positive mental attitude is all important 1.00
00:48:03.000 That's why I hate defeatists and doomers 0.99
00:48:05.300 Hate them, hate them 1.00

00:48:15.960 Same goes with party politics, right?
00:48:21.520 Restore aren't leading in the polls
00:48:22.880 I think they are third in the polls
00:48:24.120 But yeah, a positive mental attitude
00:48:26.040 We can do this
00:48:26.800 It's all important
00:48:27.640 It's quite often, in lots and lots of different ways
00:48:30.180 The difference between success or not
00:48:32.800 It's just belief, self-belief
00:48:35.000 Even the art historian Kenneth Clark
00:48:37.880 Not the politician Kenneth Clark
00:48:39.020 The art historian Kay Clark
00:48:40.500 Talked about
00:48:42.880 On a civilisational level
00:48:46.080 On a historical level
00:48:47.520 Civilisations 1.00
00:48:49.440 Require a confidence 1.00
00:48:52.540 A self-belief 1.00
00:48:53.580 If you look at the Italians 0.99
00:48:56.500 In the 15th century
00:48:57.700 Late 14th century
00:48:59.420 The Renaissance
00:49:00.680 They were filled with confidence 0.95
00:49:02.540 If you look at the British
00:49:04.140 In the 17th century, 18th century
00:49:06.560 Filled with confidence
00:49:07.720 You look at the army of Alexander the Great
00:49:09.720 Or Trajan
00:49:10.820 Filled with confidence and self-belief
00:49:13.120 And you can do incredible things
00:49:17.040 Incredible things
00:49:18.500 It's nearly always a small group
00:49:20.900 Of highly committed
00:49:22.860 Highly positive people
00:49:24.700 That move history
00:49:25.960 Love to see that

00:50:47.620 Don't me know any more details
00:50:51.000 On that
00:50:51.260 It's breaking this morning
00:50:52.180 That's
00:50:52.740 This is a thing
00:50:53.680 So
00:50:54.080 Alright
00:50:55.380 High street crime unit to target gangs
00:50:59.420 Fronting shops after BBC investigation
00:51:01.120 It's annoying isn't it
00:51:02.520 When the government or the police
00:51:04.140 The CPS
00:51:05.440 Take action after
00:51:06.880 The BBC do an investigation
00:51:09.060 Or after the Daily Mail do an investigation
00:51:11.200 Then they act
00:51:13.900 Talked about it yesterday didn't we
00:51:16.860 And there's a video on the state of politics
00:51:19.520 I think going up today
00:51:20.420 Talking about it as well
00:51:22.280 And I've talked about it before 1.00
00:51:23.180 Don't give foreign owned
00:51:24.920 obviously foreign-owned businesses, certainly ones that are obviously fronts for money laundering,
00:51:32.360 drugs, people trafficking, prostitution, organised crime of any stripe. Don't ever go in there and
00:51:37.320 give them your money. Buy something in there. Make an effort to get it from somewhere else.
00:51:41.800 Don't give them a penny. This is a blight on our country and society. They need to be ripped out.
00:51:48.120 The government is going to spend an extra 30 million pounds on tackling it all, i.e. nothing.
00:51:53.480 Not nothing, sorry
00:51:55.440 A drop in the ocean
00:51:56.540 £30 million
00:51:57.260 Bit of a drop in the ocean, isn't it?
00:51:59.400 Considering this disease affects every single
00:52:03.440 Nearly every single high street in the country
00:52:06.540 You can go to a small town or a small village
00:52:09.660 And there's like a couple of barber shops
00:52:11.280 And a fake vape shop
00:52:12.780 Fake mobile phone cover shop
00:52:15.980 In small villages even
00:52:19.260 This sort of thing
00:52:20.180 If your town is of any size
00:52:22.280 you'll have dozens and dozens of them in the cities, hundreds, maybe thousands, in the big cities of these things.
00:52:32.500 Let me watch a quick, it's only one minute, let's just watch this.
00:52:36.420 Here in Newport, Steve is trying to take control.
00:52:39.980 A few months ago we closed this one for the second time.
00:52:42.580 This shop here on the left, we closed twice.
00:52:44.980 Seized about 150,000 cigarettes in the flat above there.
00:52:48.260 How much is that worth?
00:52:49.700 Tens of thousands of pounds.
00:52:50.820 Next door to that we've closed several times
00:52:53.280 And it's still open?
00:52:54.020 Still open
00:52:54.640 Is he still selling illegal cigarettes?
00:52:56.380 I believe so
00:52:57.140 Yeah, he's there on the right there
00:52:59.400 Great
00:53:00.000 You got him?
00:53:00.840 Yeah, yeah, we got him
00:53:01.780 He's loitering, waiting for customers
00:53:03.700 Going to the shop opposite
00:53:05.140 Which we closed yesterday
00:53:06.260 See that?
00:53:07.040 Have you ever noticed that in your town or your city?
00:53:10.060 Standing outside one of these fake barbers
00:53:12.260 Fake sweet shops
00:53:13.260 Fake vape shops
00:53:14.400 One of them is just standing outside
00:53:17.320 Smoking or looking at his phone
00:53:19.580 A lookout
00:53:21.100 A criminal lookout
00:53:23.080 In case they're raided by the police
00:53:25.200 And they've got a few moments to try and
00:53:27.800 Destroy evidence or whatever
00:53:29.520 Give themselves a few moments to react
00:53:31.980 Just a criminal lookout
00:53:33.680 Just standing out the front of it
00:53:34.960 You notice that? You've seen that?
00:53:38.620 You probably have haven't you?
00:53:40.780 Yeah like the police
00:53:42.140 Or whoever
00:53:42.980 The trading standards organisation people
00:53:45.540 Will close these shops down
00:53:47.120 And then the same people just open it up straight away afterwards
00:53:49.460 I don't care
00:53:50.580 I don't care about the rule of law
00:53:52.340 I don't care about what's right and wrong
00:53:54.660 Propriety
00:53:55.600 I don't care about any of that
00:53:57.620 They're organised criminals
00:54:00.720 They push their luck to the absolute limit
00:54:02.380 How can it be
00:54:03.280 That the police will even close
00:54:07.720 A business and it just reopens
00:54:09.560 And the police don't go back there
00:54:11.020 And close it down again
00:54:11.800 Or they'll close it two or three times
00:54:12.980 And then just what
00:54:13.620 And then just give up
00:54:14.260 And then just abandon it
00:54:15.060 Oh well
00:54:15.580 This hive of villainy and crime
00:54:18.000 Can just exist here
00:54:18.960 This little cancer on this high street
00:54:20.960 We'll just let it go
00:54:21.680 People not deported
00:54:27.100 Once again in Bowes, Britain
00:54:30.660 I would go to war with these people
00:54:34.600 I would turn the country upside down 0.82
00:54:39.980 In order to root it all out
00:54:41.840 Try and get every last bit of this cancer
00:54:44.820 Every last bit 0.99
00:54:46.740 Deport them all 0.78
00:54:48.860 clear amount we've got clear amount sickening sickening thing those that have allowed the
00:54:56.860 political elite that have allowed this to happen an unbelievable crime against the people in the
00:55:02.940 in this nation unbelievable all right about iran trump says he's called off new iran attack
00:55:12.220 at request of gulf states apparently he was set today set to do a giant strike
00:55:18.460 against iran send iran back to the stone age and uh but no he's not he called it off so that was
00:55:26.060 it saudi arabia qatar and the emirates asked him not to because that's because they're all so close
00:55:33.260 to striking a brilliant deal i don't believe it i don't buy it now iran is not going to give up
00:55:40.860 their what they think is their right to enrich uranium to whatever degree they see fit
00:55:48.780 are you weapons grade 90 plus they're refusing that
00:55:58.780 now i could be proven wrong over the coming few days a week or so it might be it might come out
00:56:03.500 mightn't it it's possible that iran come out and say all right we give up our our insistence on
00:56:11.500 that and we'll dismantle all our facilities that do that or ones we are building or going to build
00:56:19.100 and we'll let the iaea you know the international un body that checks all these things we'll let
00:56:26.540 them in wherever they want in the whole of iran to inspect and confirm we let israeli and u.s
00:56:34.620 scientists if they need be come in anywhere they want in the whole of iran and make sure
00:56:39.100 we're not enriching uranium to weapons grade levels and the material we have already got
00:56:45.660 a few hundred pounds of it or whatever they've got we'll just give to the americans to dispose of
00:56:51.980 that might happen in the next few days or week or so or whatever mightn't it
00:56:56.540 I don't think it will though
00:56:58.420 I do not think it will 1.00
00:57:00.220 I think Iran
00:57:03.680 That regime would rather rule over a country
00:57:06.160 Of actual rubble
00:57:07.660 And all their people
00:57:09.980 Starving to death
00:57:11.000 Than do that
00:57:12.220 That's what I think
00:57:13.500 Part of their ideology
00:57:17.360 Their ethos
00:57:18.100 Is martyrdom
00:57:19.580 No martyr us then
00:57:22.380 Because we're not giving up on that
00:57:23.360 That's our line in the sand
00:57:24.340 Trump talking about he's going to make a deal soon
00:57:27.460 He'll hopefully make a deal soon
00:57:29.240 I'm not seeing it
00:57:30.120 I'm not seeing that
00:57:32.040 Well, it's a bit of an impasse, isn't it?
00:57:37.580 If he's not prepared to do what he's threatened to do
00:57:40.600 i.e. send them back to the Stone Age
00:57:42.860 wipe their civilisation out 0.99
00:57:44.760 press a big red button
00:57:46.220 and there's mushroom clouds
00:57:47.440 If he's not prepared to do that
00:57:49.300 then he's at an impasse, isn't he?
00:57:54.340 i'm not saying i want him to do it necessarily as i said yesterday and i've said a number of times
00:57:57.740 i would love that regime to be gone i'm no fan of oppressive theocratic islamic regimes of course
00:58:04.840 i would like to see that regime removed with as little misery to innocent persian people as 0.94
00:58:12.000 possible but that's not where we are is it that's not one of the options trump's options are go back
00:58:19.760 to war with them start blowing up their bridges and power plants maybe even sending boots on the
00:58:23.700 ground or walk away from it. Stop pretending you're going to make a deal about their uranium 0.87
00:58:33.220 enrichment program. What's it going to be, Trump? I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt
00:58:42.920 quite a lot. But at this point, at this stage, Tuesday the 19th of March, I am doubting. I'm
00:58:49.220 doubting it i'm a doubting thomas on this now all right i mean it's a tough political military
00:58:58.660 position to find himself in isn't it what are you going to do what's he going to do
00:59:02.660 all right there's a story on uh yes i just thought i'd mention that at the moment putin is in
00:59:10.140 beijing in china on a visit we've just had trump there haven't we um and now now putin's there
00:59:17.640 I think it's just worth mentioning
00:59:20.380 I think it's interesting
00:59:21.260 I suppose the world
00:59:24.620 Broadly speaking is
00:59:26.620 Sort of 0.95
00:59:27.200 It's got three nexuses
00:59:30.720 Of power really hasn't it
00:59:32.640 That are genuine rivals
00:59:34.680 Washington
00:59:36.620 Beijing and Moscow
00:59:37.600 Economically
00:59:40.880 Moscow is the
00:59:42.160 Smaller partner by a fantastic degree
00:59:44.800 When you look at the size 0.61
00:59:47.040 Of the Russian economy
00:59:48.220 Compared to the US
00:59:49.780 And the Chinese economy 0.99
00:59:50.700 It's tiny 1.00
00:59:51.360 Like isn't the economy
00:59:52.820 Of just Texas
00:59:53.640 Bigger than all of Russia 0.92
00:59:54.840 Something like that 1.00
00:59:55.540 I think
00:59:55.800 Something like that
00:59:56.660 Or like the economy
00:59:57.900 Of California
00:59:58.660 Is like twice as big
00:59:59.540 Or something
00:59:59.780 I don't know
01:00:00.280 Russia's economy
01:00:01.760 Although it's
01:00:02.960 Self-sufficient
01:00:03.560 It's good enough 0.95
01:00:04.100 For Russia 0.99
01:00:04.560 Just about
01:00:05.120 Haven't got a giant
01:00:06.020 Standard of living
01:00:06.720 Although it's not
01:00:07.220 Terrible
01:00:07.860 They're not an
01:00:10.340 Economic powerhouse
01:00:11.660 Like China
01:00:13.100 And the United States 0.88
01:00:13.860 But
01:00:14.500 They do spend
01:00:16.020 Quite a lot on their
01:00:16.700 military they're technically very very um advanced aren't they i mean they send soyuz capsules to
01:00:23.960 low earth orbit and the moon and the americans don't do that at the moment do they
01:00:27.080 they've got the world's biggest arsenal stock part of nuclear weapons haven't they
01:00:32.500 the risk is so although in terms of okay you get it in terms of economy they're nowhere near china
01:00:41.640 In America
01:00:42.320 But 0.66
01:00:42.980 They're still
01:00:44.000 They don't answer to Beijing
01:00:45.340 Or Washington do they
01:00:46.100 Putin genuinely doesn't
01:00:47.580 Have to do what they say
01:00:48.400 Ever
01:00:48.680 So he's there
01:00:51.620 But the relationship
01:00:52.420 I just thought it would be
01:00:52.980 Interested to talk about
01:00:53.820 Like
01:00:54.760 Historically
01:00:57.340 Even
01:00:57.900 The relationship
01:00:58.880 Between Russia
01:01:01.420 Or the Soviet Union 0.87
01:01:02.180 Now Russia
01:01:02.900 And China 0.94
01:01:04.100 Communist China 0.80
01:01:05.180 It's always been 1.00
01:01:06.640 An interesting funny one
01:01:08.020 I've got a long form
01:01:09.020 Series on
01:01:09.740 History bro
01:01:10.480 like an 18-part series all about Mao, Chairman Mao. Harry. Yeah, there you go.
01:01:20.720 My channel, History Brand, got like an 18-part series on Mao, so quite a few hours in loads of
01:01:26.880 detail. And the relationship between the Soviets and Mao was very, very strained. From the West's
01:01:34.260 point of view, from the United States' point of view, you just think, oh, they're all red.
01:01:36.900 They're all communists
01:01:38.560 Like a third of the world's population just went red 1.00
01:01:41.720 Obviously the Soviets, the Russians and the Chinese 1.00
01:01:45.600 It's just one big block now 1.00
01:01:47.500 They're sort of one and the same thing
01:01:50.180 No, not at all, not at all 0.85
01:01:53.100 The Chinese and the Russians are as much sort of rivals and enemies as things
01:01:59.260 As the Americans and the Chinese are
01:02:01.160 It's more complicated than that
01:02:02.380 I could spend hours, or have in fact already
01:02:04.480 Spend hours talking about that
01:02:06.900 And of course, Russia isn't communist anymore, is it?
01:02:11.100 You know, Soviet Union collapsed in the early 90s
01:02:14.300 But the point is, sometimes from the West
01:02:17.860 You get this angle, you get this argument
01:02:20.500 That the Chinese and the Russians are sort of
01:02:22.500 Ganging up against the United States
01:02:24.060 They're sort of, they work very, very closely together
01:02:27.820 And are one of the same mind
01:02:29.640 And they're, no, no
01:02:32.200 The relationship between Russia and China is
01:02:34.460 Very, very interesting, I think
01:02:36.900 How they, of course they've got a giant boulder, haven't they, and everything
01:02:40.460 And how they're suspicious of each other
01:02:44.560 Just the way the United States and China or the United States and Russia are suspicious of each other
01:02:50.340 You know, they're friendly enough that they'll have state visits like this
01:02:54.800 And shake hands and exchange gifts and do toasts at state banquets and all that sort of thing
01:02:59.420 But ultimately, ultimately, our rivals
01:03:06.900 I think it's very, very interesting to know
01:03:10.220 Exactly what does that Winnie the Pooh think about Putin
01:03:15.140 And how Putin conducts his government
01:03:17.040 I bet he's not over the moon with it
01:03:20.100 I'm sure he's not over the moon with it
01:03:22.580 What does Putin think of Winnie the Pooh?
01:03:27.900 A more powerful man than him
01:03:29.620 Might China have got nukes? 0.70
01:03:32.540 China's got giant missiles
01:03:35.440 With like multiple MIRVs on it
01:03:37.500 So
01:03:39.780 I wonder what Putin really really thinks
01:03:43.460 In his heart of hearts
01:03:44.400 About China and the Chinese 1.00
01:03:46.560 The Chinese threat 1.00
01:03:47.400 Interesting 1.00
01:03:51.060 Alright
01:03:51.820 It's already gone past 9
01:03:54.060 That went quickly
01:03:55.000 I was going to look down
01:03:57.000 Thought it would be like quarter 2
01:03:58.120 Alright
01:03:58.440 Shall we have a look at
01:04:00.620 On this day in history
01:04:01.500 You guys like that, I like doing that one
01:04:04.820 On this day, on the 19th of May, down through the centuries
01:04:09.080 What happened of note? Let's have a quick look
01:04:11.940 The execution of Anne Boleyn
01:04:14.420 On this day in 1536, Anne Boleyn, second wife of King Henry VIII
01:04:19.180 Is beheaded at the Tower of London on charges of adultery, incest
01:04:24.260 With her own brother, and treason
01:04:31.740 On my history theme show, Behind the Paywall and Logacities.com, do consider signing up for as little as £5 a month for the Bronstein membership.
01:04:37.640 Epochs, O'Dayde's Epochs, I'm currently doing my series about Henry VIII.
01:04:42.460 I've done the monarchy all the way through from Arthur, well from Alfred, all the way through,
01:04:48.980 and I'm currently, like, dozens and dozens of long-form content, hundreds of hours.
01:04:54.940 I'm up to Henry VIII at the moment.
01:04:56.480 Last Sunday was Henry VIII Part 1
01:04:58.580 Just doing his early reign
01:05:00.460 Touching on Wolsey
01:05:02.180 This Sunday will be Part 2
01:05:05.120 We'll probably get to
01:05:07.260 Hopefully get to at least the beginning
01:05:09.040 Of the Anne Boleyn period
01:05:10.620 The middle reign
01:05:12.540 Or the last third
01:05:14.500 Of Henry's reign
01:05:16.260 But yeah Anne Boleyn
01:05:19.720 So the Lady Anne
01:05:21.360 Henry VIII 0.55
01:05:23.700 Reworked
01:05:25.260 Reworked our relationship with Rome
01:05:28.500 In order that he could annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon
01:05:33.120 So that he could marry Anne Boleyn
01:05:34.960 But she only gave him a daughter
01:05:38.980 She went on to be Queen Elizabeth I of course, good Queen Bess
01:05:42.340 And a couple of other miscarriages, or is it more than two even
01:05:46.520 And in the end Henry tired of her and decided that she needed to go
01:05:52.560 And one of the ways to do that
01:05:55.500 Was to
01:05:56.060 Put her up on treason 0.88
01:05:58.280 Charges
01:06:00.300 And
01:06:01.780 Most historians, not all, but most historians
01:06:05.280 Think, I think
01:06:07.080 I think
01:06:08.320 That she wasn't actually
01:06:10.080 Guilty of incest
01:06:12.220 With her own brother
01:06:14.860 But they just wanted to throw the book out
01:06:17.620 You know sometimes when that happens
01:06:18.840 Particularly in sort of the medieval period
01:06:22.160 Or the early modern period
01:06:23.180 If there's a kangaroo court
01:06:25.400 And they want to throw the book at you
01:06:27.400 They just throw more and more and more charges 0.84
01:06:28.820 It doesn't really matter that the charges are ridiculous anymore
01:06:31.580 It doesn't really matter
01:06:32.240 The point is your name and your reputation
01:06:35.800 Is just slandered as much and as hard as possible
01:06:38.280 That's the point
01:06:39.200 Not whether it's true or not
01:06:41.660 They brought over a French swordsman
01:06:48.440 They didn't use a chopping block
01:06:51.280 And an axe 1.00
01:06:52.080 She was just kneeling like that
01:06:54.180 And a really, really professional French swordsman 0.77
01:06:56.880 Locked off her head in one go
01:06:59.100 Don't try and tell Henry what to do
01:07:05.060 And what his policies should be
01:07:06.420 And give him a son
01:07:09.760 If you fail in that, you are in trouble
01:07:13.560 Okay, on this day in 1643
01:07:16.260 The Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, Connecticut and New Haven
01:07:19.680 Form the United Colonies of New England
01:07:22.060 It's interesting, the history of the United States
01:07:24.160 Well, of course, this is before the United States
01:07:26.320 1643
01:07:30.080 So by the time we get up to the late 18th century
01:07:33.640 You know, 1776 and all that
01:07:35.740 You've got 13 colonies at that point
01:07:39.560 One of which is New England
01:07:41.960 But even that
01:07:42.940 You can imagine there's a process to even get to that
01:07:46.000 To have one big single political entity
01:07:48.900 Of New England
01:07:50.940 Made up of various little things
01:07:54.100 So already the process
01:07:55.180 Already in the mid-17th century
01:07:58.300 The process of all of that is going on
01:08:00.060 Interesting to know
01:08:02.580 Okay, on this day, in 1649
01:08:05.300 England is declared a Commonwealth
01:08:07.480 By an Act of the Rump Parliament 0.50
01:08:09.620 Making England a Republic
01:08:11.020 For the next 11 years 0.86
01:08:12.460 So this is obviously the Civil War
01:08:15.000 The Oliver Cromwell, Charles I, Charles Stuart
01:08:17.040 Civil War era period
01:08:18.480 Well it's after
01:08:21.400 Isn't it
01:08:22.120 Is Josh the first beheaded already by that point
01:08:25.060 I think he must be 1.00
01:08:25.820 The rump parliament
01:08:27.480 The small remnant of a much larger parliament
01:08:31.240 At one point
01:08:32.480 But whittled down because of various political infighting
01:08:35.780 Amongst the parliamentarians
01:08:37.120 And Oliver Cromwell not happy with what they're doing
01:08:40.160 And in the end you've got a small number of
01:08:42.840 MPs left
01:08:44.380 Using that to pass legislation and stuff
01:08:47.840 the rump parliament um yeah commonwealth so an interregnum we had a break in our monarchy for
01:08:54.640 11 years interesting when i get up to in my series when i get up to the civil war i'm going to really
01:09:02.800 try and do that in fantastic details like loads and loads of detail there's two or three things
01:09:08.080 i've done on epochs which i've done in sort of silly detail the career of julius caesar the
01:09:12.320 of the career of Henry V, a couple of them, 20 episodes, 30 episodes, whatever. I want
01:09:18.200 to do that with the Civil War period, Charles I and Oliver Cromwell. Edward Hyde, the accounts
01:09:26.320 from Edward Hyde, Clarendon, the Earl of Clarendon, read from that a lot. One of the gold standards
01:09:35.580 Of the sources from the time
01:09:37.320 Okay
01:09:38.500 On this day in 1885
01:09:40.640 German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck
01:09:42.580 Takes possession of Cameroon and Togoland 0.86
01:09:45.180 For the Germans of course 0.97
01:09:46.540 It's interesting to note
01:09:49.320 Bismarck, fascinating
01:09:50.460 Absolutely fascinating person
01:09:51.900 Life and career
01:09:53.140 I mean, he was dismissed not long
01:09:55.340 Not all that long
01:09:56.120 But after that
01:09:56.860 I think it's like 1890
01:09:58.220 1889, 1890
01:10:01.340 When Kaiser Wilhelm II
01:10:04.660 Fires him
01:10:06.700 Gets rid of him
01:10:08.120 Towards the end of that period
01:10:10.080 But nonetheless
01:10:14.780 Bismarck was sort of calling the shots
01:10:16.980 As far as German foreign policy was concerned
01:10:18.800 For a generation or so
01:10:20.440 Most people look back on it
01:10:22.800 And see him as some sort of
01:10:24.040 Great puppet master, a great chess player
01:10:26.360 Great at 4D chess, sort of a dude
01:10:28.220 Fascinating person
01:10:29.300 Absolutely key to
01:10:32.040 19th century
01:10:33.980 politics and war okay on this day in 1898 u.s congress passes the private mailing card act i
01:10:42.500 don't i don't care about this really this is i read this this morning i was like people at this
01:10:46.600 website are really interested in the history of stamps and postage and something particularly in
01:10:49.900 the u.s yeah who cares about this u.s congress passes the private mailing card act allowing
01:10:55.860 private private publishers and printers to produce postcards which have to be labeled
01:11:02.540 private mailing cards until 1901 known as souvenir cards that's an obscure bit of history isn't it
01:11:10.180 who cares about that all right and on this day in 1919 Mustafa Kemal Ataturk the Ataturk lands
01:11:18.040 at Samsung on the Black Sea coast beginning the Turkish War of Independence it's a very very
01:11:24.400 interesting bit of history there because of course the Ottoman Empire collapses at the end of World
01:11:30.660 War One. The Allies, the British and the French largely, as well as Bedouin Arabs, push the 0.85
01:11:39.340 Turks out of Arabia, out of the Levant, all the way back up to the borders of Turkey,
01:11:46.920 to Damascus and beyond. The Ottoman Empire falls, the Young Turks, the Young Turks, fall, 0.99
01:11:53.200 And Mustafa Kemal Ataturk
01:11:57.140 And sort of Turkish nationalists
01:11:58.560 Type of Turkish nationalists take over
01:12:01.420 But then there's just immediately a civil war
01:12:03.400 And it's really really messy
01:12:05.580 It lasts like three or four years
01:12:06.960 It's just a really really messy thing
01:12:09.480 Where the Allies are sort of trying to partition it a bit 0.99
01:12:12.620 And the Turks kick out all their Christians 1.00
01:12:15.400 Kick out all their Greeks 1.00
01:12:17.160 I can't go into it here 1.00
01:12:21.300 There's just far too much detail to even really give you much of an overview
01:12:24.500 But it's a really, really interesting and pivotal thing that happened
01:12:27.820 Most people don't know much about it
01:12:29.380 Straight after World War I, there were loads of wars all over the place
01:12:33.000 The ripples from World War I
01:12:35.440 You think, oh, World War I ended on the 11th of the 11th
01:12:39.600 11 in the morning, 1918
01:12:41.300 The world's at peace
01:12:43.020 No, no, no, no
01:12:44.800 Not even close
01:12:46.640 Look at the Russian civil war
01:12:50.340 The Bolsheviks having to have a civil war
01:12:52.180 Anyway
01:12:53.980 Kemal, Mustafa Kemal
01:12:55.820 Another pivotal person
01:12:58.520 Absolutely pivotal person
01:12:59.540 Dearly, dearly, dearly loved in Turkey
01:13:02.900 If you go to Turkey and talk smack about Ataturk
01:13:07.000 You're in trouble
01:13:08.280 I don't advise you do that
01:13:10.220 Alright
01:13:10.880 Alright
01:13:12.320 Shall we have a look at our Rumble Rants and Super Chats this morning
01:13:15.200 what have we got here we do our rumble rants first don't we every morning
01:13:19.200 oh global church history in the number one he's back hope you're right mate he's back
01:13:27.300 um in at number one lovely all is right in the universe balance has been restored to the universe
01:13:34.220 global church history in at number one thank you you say on this day in 526 ad an earthquake
01:13:42.300 in Antioch killed over
01:13:44.520 a quarter of a million people.
01:13:50.960 That being the reign of Justinian,
01:13:52.740 was it? Justinian the
01:13:54.640 first. Bad times.
01:13:57.800 It was like a plague of 1.00
01:13:58.660 Justinian as well, wasn't there? 1.00
01:14:00.820 It was also like, I think, really
01:14:02.640 bad atmospheric
01:14:04.220 climate anomalies
01:14:06.720 as well. Like loads of crops failed.
01:14:08.860 People starving and a plague
01:14:10.580 and an earthquake and all that stuff.
01:14:12.300 Bad times
01:14:13.200 You also say
01:14:15.500 On this day in 1535
01:14:18.960 Cartier began his second voyage 0.98
01:14:21.980 That's a Frenchman isn't it? 0.70
01:14:24.540 Cartier, yeah so that would be
01:14:26.020 Are you Canadian global church history?
01:14:30.700 Are you Canadian?
01:14:31.500 I think you might have mentioned or referenced you're Canadian before
01:14:34.140 Apologies if you're not
01:14:35.320 That's one of the Frenchmen isn't it? 1.00
01:14:38.580 Going up and exploring
01:14:39.720 Isn't he the one that first explored the St Lawrence River
01:14:42.680 And going to what became Quebec and Montreal
01:14:45.800 And all that
01:14:46.920 And it's still very early on isn't it
01:14:49.180 The first half of the 16th century
01:14:51.760 Still very early on
01:14:53.320 You know Columbus only sailed the ocean blue
01:14:56.280 For the first time in 1492
01:14:57.700 I think that's the one isn't it
01:15:02.640 Cartier Jacques Cartier
01:15:04.260 One of the reasons why even to this day
01:15:07.000 uh the french connection with canadia canadia canada the canadians
01:15:14.240 okay interesting all right and next one gwff says restore britain should stand in every
01:15:23.600 available seat yeah why not if we've got the people and the resources to do it why not
01:15:27.480 yeah send a message not going anywhere not buying the splitting the vote cope from anyone
01:15:35.260 that's my feeling restore britain should stand in every available seat even in lib dem stronghold
01:15:41.260 yeah here's my proposed policy to win over those particularly entrenched voters semicolon
01:15:47.820 free garden waste collections
01:15:50.560 that's gwff's um suggestion free garden waste collections yeah maybe yeah well that's the
01:16:00.380 of thing lib dem voters would go for isn't it i think to be fair most lib dem voters just on
01:16:05.660 general principle they hear from facebook or something or the guardian that rupert and restorer
01:16:13.500 evil that's it that's it that gets in their head and that's it they'll never vote forever
01:16:19.340 that's lib dem voters for you 1.00
01:16:22.780 turkeys voting for christmas stupid small-minded boomers 1.00
01:16:26.460 Largely 1.00
01:16:28.620 Insane leftoid purple haired children 1.00
01:16:33.020 It'll be one of those two things isn't it 1.00
01:16:36.840 Stinking hippies 1.00
01:16:38.560 Okay 0.99
01:16:41.700 Tomrat247 says 0.87
01:16:44.120 I welcome their attempt to try to overturn Brexit
01:16:48.100 Because
01:16:49.620 Let's see where he's going with this
01:16:51.380 Because come the populist electoral revolution
01:16:55.160 i won't be asking i will be building a dozen singapore on thameses brexit maxing and jailing
01:17:04.040 them based i had full faith in you tom that you weren't going to say something woke and you didn't
01:17:12.380 disappoint yeah cool yeah if we got a government in place that really just lent into brexit lent
01:17:22.260 Into the whole concept
01:17:23.460 That we are sovereign
01:17:25.060 And we can do what we want
01:17:26.380 And we'll try and make this work
01:17:28.400 Try and make it happen
01:17:28.980 Make it work for our benefit 1.00
01:17:30.540 Building loads of Singapore

01:17:36.340 Loads of it
01:17:37.100 Make the state smaller
01:17:39.640 Have more sort of
01:17:40.800 Laissez-faire economics
01:17:42.020 Let businesses thrive
01:17:44.000 Let them thrive
01:17:44.860 And tax them into oblivion
01:17:46.580 Yeah
01:17:47.460 Right
01:17:50.460 That's what should have been done
01:17:51.660 obviously that's what should have been done but the powers that be the establishment the blob
01:17:56.900 the uni party hated the whole concept from day one because they're globalists
01:18:01.620 because they're globalists and they were never going to do that if we got a government in that
01:18:06.320 would do that lean into that that would be great wouldn't it it'd be great okay jetlag89 says
01:18:16.220 any reply from elon about coming on also that daily agenda chap is a full-on 0.84
01:18:23.940 mildly retarded mental person isn't he he just wants to argue with everyone all the time 0.88
01:18:29.220 quite sad really yeah well elon didn't reply i didn't expect him to not likely to is he 0.96
01:18:35.440 it's a shot in the dark the best yeah that daily agenda guy uh yeah i don't like really
01:18:43.680 punching right, but I can't, I can't, it's sort of beneath my dignity, really, I feel
01:18:52.000 like, to respond to it in any real detail. I can't be bothered with all that, I have
01:18:58.240 no time for that sort of nonsense. Yeah, imagine, imagine, like, being old and butthurt and 0.72
01:19:06.160 all you've got to do all day is, like, stoke internet drama. No, no, no, not interested
01:19:12.820 in that, not interested in that, okay, GWFF, it says, you're underestimating the love they
01:19:22.280 hold for their gardens, all right, because you said earlier, to win over Lib Dems, the
01:19:29.900 garden waste collection, yeah, maybe you're right, yeah, yeah, they do, right, yeah, your
01:19:32.500 average Lib Dem voter, yeah, it's sort of a fairly, well, usually, quite often, actually,
01:19:38.720 a well-meaning middle-class person that loves their garden yeah yeah you're right you're right
01:19:46.740 all right that's the last rumble rant let's do uh super chats okay we've got a dozen or so
01:19:56.680 something like that okay dr molotov super fan dr molotov thank you you say you need to rank
01:20:05.100 the greatest men in history what's your order of these guys first second third alexander julius
01:20:12.180 caesar genghis khan oh god that's the sort of thing i could spend hours and hours on
01:20:17.340 do you want on uh harry
01:20:20.860 on uh on my channel history bro i've got like about five hours five hours of content in
01:20:32.420 conversation with Mr. Carl Benjamin about the career of Alexander. Going through all the
01:20:36.920 sources, the original sources, Arian, Plutarch, Theodorus, Curtius. Five hours of proper good
01:20:45.140 content all about Alexander. I've been a massive fan of Alexander my whole life or ever since I
01:20:51.040 first heard about him as a child. I love me some Alexander. Same goes for Caesar on Epochs.
01:20:58.160 stupid amount of content about caesar going through all again all the all the main sources
01:21:04.080 ancient sources is it like a 15 20 part no was it like 25 30 part series 0.98
01:21:09.980 well over 30 that's probably knocking more like 40 hours worth of content talking about caesar
01:21:15.040 going through so going through his account of his conquest of gaul nothing else there's about
01:21:20.320 five six episodes just on that um so i'm a big fan of julius caesar as well and then what does
01:21:27.480 it mean to be great i don't want to get all history nerd about it but i've got to real quick
01:21:32.620 because all three of those men are responsible for what today would be judged
01:21:37.820 genocide war crimes something like that so if we're just going to put all that aside and just
01:21:45.720 judge them in the old school the old school definitions of what makes a great person
01:21:50.420 I mean, there's no one greater than Alexander
01:21:54.620 However, one thing I would say
01:21:57.280 One of the first things that sprung to mind when I read that
01:21:59.900 Is that Alexander was born a prince
01:22:04.260 All he need do is wait until his dad died
01:22:08.480 Or was assassinated
01:22:09.400 And he's a king
01:22:10.600 With a ready-made army
01:22:12.360 Super, super professional veteran army
01:22:15.160 Just ready to rock and roll, literally on day one
01:22:17.180 Literally
01:22:17.540 Caesar had to fight for his political position
01:22:21.580 But was born in a very, very aristocratic well-to-do family
01:22:24.140 Found himself at the top of a state
01:22:27.380 That was, again, heavily militarised already
01:22:31.160 Very sophisticated for the age of the 1st century BC
01:22:34.580 Giant veteran legions already to rock and roll at that point
01:22:38.840 Genghis Khan came from nothing
01:22:42.160 Nothing 0.95
01:22:43.080 Really nothing
01:22:44.740 He was just a step child 1.00
01:22:49.520 The Asian step, the Mongolian step 1.00
01:22:52.220 He came from absolutely nothing 1.00
01:22:53.520 Everything he built was from scratch
01:22:56.400 You know, a mass murderer in modern terms 0.99
01:23:01.660 A war criminal 0.99
01:23:02.460 But for me, his achievement
01:23:06.380 I'm a bigger fan of Alexander than the other two there
01:23:10.680 But what Genghis Khan achieved in his own lifetime
01:23:13.460 is scarcely paralleled in all of history it's almost like an unbelievable story Genghis Khan
01:23:21.080 so I say Alexander because he's my favorite but
01:23:26.120 the greatest of those three men is probably Genghis Khan probably 0.87
01:23:30.740 incredible incredible got to do something on the Mongols I've been threatening for a good
01:23:36.960 couple of years to do some long-form content about the Mongols we'll do it at some point
01:23:41.540 Okay

01:27:26.900 over from Uganda if anything
01:27:30.340 the government hasn't been saying that by the way that's an exaggeration that's 1.00
01:27:32.900 hyperbole from me but it'd be nice to just stop any ugandans coming in for a little bit maybe 1.00
