The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - Breakfast With Beau ｜ Tuesday 24th March 2026

00:00:00.320 Morning, are you alright?

00:00:02.580 Hope you are, genuinely hope you are

00:00:04.360 Me, yeah, I'm alright, yeah

00:00:07.680 Got my morning cuppa, so everything's alright

00:00:12.440 I can relax

00:00:14.600 Okay, it is Tuesday the 24th of March in the year of our Lord, 2025

00:00:20.400 It's just ticked past, 2026, get it right

00:00:22.760 It's just ticked past 8am, Greenwich Mean Time of course

00:00:26.920 God knows what time it is where you are

00:00:29.220 We've got people all over the shop, haven't we?

00:00:30.680 We've got people in America, Pacific Northwest.

00:00:33.560 We've got people in Australia, down under.

00:00:35.440 How good?

00:00:35.940 It could be any time, couldn't it?

00:00:38.580 All right, as ever, I'm joined by my producer, Little Harry.

00:00:41.400 How are you this morning?

00:00:41.980 Good, sir?

00:00:42.680 Yeah, I'm all good.

00:00:44.460 Great, great.

00:00:46.560 Shall we get straight into it this morning then?

00:00:48.780 Shall we just see what the corporate, the legacy corporate mainstream media,

00:00:52.400 which is very slowly dying, isn't it?

00:00:55.080 Very slowly dying.

00:00:55.840 Nobody trusts it anymore, do they, really?

00:00:57.360 How could you?

00:00:58.300 How could you?

00:00:59.220 How many years do you have to be lied to and gaslit on end

00:01:02.080 before you stop believing what it's saying to you?

00:01:06.160 All right, the headlines.

00:01:07.880 The front page is, first of all, let's go with...

00:01:10.340 It goes with, Trump blinks first.

00:01:12.780 That's how they're characterising it.

00:01:14.180 Would you characterise it that way?

00:01:15.660 Trump blinks first and, quote,

00:01:18.360 horrific attack on Jewish charity ambulances.

00:01:24.800 I mean, it's just some ambulances.

00:01:28.740 It's not like a load of little girls were stabbed

00:01:31.080 Terrific

00:01:35.580 Some ambulances

00:01:39.840 Which were due to be replaced anyway

00:01:42.960 Alright

00:01:46.640 The Toregraph, the Daily Telegraph

00:01:50.960 Okay, first of all

00:01:54.520 Trump says

00:01:55.560 I'll run the straight with Ayatollah 1.00

00:01:57.980 Remember he said he'll run Venezuela

00:01:59.980 Not rule it, not govern it

00:02:02.480 Run it

00:02:03.060 Like you're running a football team

00:02:05.500 Trump

00:02:07.680 I'll run the strait with Ayatollah 1.00

00:02:09.900 Who still hasn't been seen by the way

00:02:11.700 Still not been seen

00:02:14.040 He must be in hospital or something

00:02:18.740 I'd put money on that now

00:02:20.380 Decent money on that

00:02:21.220 Okay

00:02:22.280 America to patrol oil route jointly

00:02:26.220 And if Iran reneges 0.64

00:02:29.700 US will quote

00:02:30.480 Bomb our little hearts out 0.75

00:02:31.840 Quote

00:02:32.100 Alright

00:02:35.180 So it's still mostly Iran today

00:02:38.780 As you can imagine

00:02:39.420 It's the Straits of Hormuz stuff

00:02:41.740 Largely

00:02:42.500 So I mean

00:02:44.720 Should we get straight into that

00:02:45.560 What happened yesterday

00:02:46.360 If you remember yesterday

00:02:47.220 If you were watching the Beau show yesterday

00:02:48.680 Formerly Breakfast with Beau

00:02:52.360 Colloquially the Beau show

00:02:54.040 or Bo's Breakfast Club, hashtag the real BBC.

00:03:00.460 Yesterday, I was talking about how, and it was the case,

00:03:03.960 that neither side had backed down in any way.

00:03:09.260 Well, over the day yesterday,

00:03:12.880 whether you want to characterise it as Trump blinking,

00:03:15.160 quote, blinking or not,

00:03:17.080 there was a tiny crack from his side politically.

00:03:21.920 I mean, it may be completely expedient.

00:03:23.240 I'm not really having a pop at him

00:03:24.300 It may have been

00:03:25.200 It may have been the right move

00:03:26.440 I'm not

00:03:27.460 I'm not

00:03:28.680 Going to characterise it as

00:03:30.300 Like

00:03:30.580 Particularly 1.00

00:03:31.400 As weakness or stupid 1.00

00:03:33.120 Or backing down 1.00

00:03:33.980 Or

00:03:34.360 Blinking or anything 0.81

00:03:36.180 But nonetheless

00:03:37.540 Nonetheless

00:03:38.180 Obviously Tehran are 1.00

00:03:40.100 Characterising it as

00:03:41.640 He's

00:03:44.100 He's

00:03:44.640 Crapped himself

00:03:45.920 Sort of thing

00:03:46.500 TDS people

00:03:50.100 Lefties

00:03:50.660 Everyone that hates Trump

00:03:51.660 In America

00:03:52.180 I would characterise it that way

00:03:53.200 wouldn't they but well this is what he put on truth social the donald made a statement and

00:03:59.140 let's just read it out let's just read it out he put all in caps i am pleased to report that

00:04:08.140 the united states of america and the country of iran have had over the last two days very good

00:04:13.780 and productive conversations regarding complete regarding a complete and total resolution of our

00:04:18.560 hostilities in the Middle East. Based on the tenor and tone of these in-depth, detailed

00:04:23.540 and constructive conversations, which will continue... That's a typo, isn't it? Shouldn't

00:04:29.480 there be a H there? Which? Wicked Witch of the West will continue throughout the week. 0.94

00:04:38.260 I have constructed the Department of... I have instructed... Sorry. Get it right. I need

00:04:43.340 read this morning i've instructed the department of war to propose postpone any and all military

00:04:49.260 strikes against the iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five-day period

00:04:53.580 subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions discussions thank you for your

00:04:58.760 attention to this matter president donald j trump all right well a few things there i suppose the

00:05:05.720 first thing so the first thing i would note or to bear in mind this is not at the end of the war

00:05:10.340 nothing like it's not like he's blinked and he's just stopped stopping the war no all he's saying

00:05:17.640 is the threat he had made a couple of days earlier to start bombing iranian power plants

00:05:24.260 that's on hold it's not even like he said well we won't do that indefinitely that's off the table

00:05:31.080 he just said i'll hold off on that for another five days so okay okay the tiniest degree of

00:05:39.520 blinking all right but then it might just be expedient though because if if and i don't know

00:05:48.180 if he really has had in-depth detailed and constructive conversations then it if that's

00:05:56.160 all true then this is just the right thing to do it's sort of correct diplomacy isn't it

00:06:02.440 okay i mean you make your mind up about all this sort of thing

00:06:06.240 just be careful not to um you know take what the corporate legacy mainstream media say at face

00:06:16.160 value or even what someone like i say at face value you know right i've got my biases everyone

00:06:21.480 has um although i you know i'm trying to be fair-minded reasonable uh but make of it what

00:06:28.620 you will the world's not over it's not really blinks it's not a full-blown blink never go full

00:06:34.080 blink it's not a big blink is it but it's he's given way slightly on one bit on one little thing

00:06:43.380 one little element of everything that's going on so okay okay if you wanted to if you did have tds

00:06:51.220 or your pro-iranian regime or whatever you could just say you couldn't you could just sit back

00:06:56.300 and say look he had this 48 hour ultimatum

00:07:02.560 it was like a lion in the sand

00:07:04.140 it was a true ultimatum

00:07:05.400 and he's reneged on it

00:07:09.220 he hasn't done what he said he was going to do

00:07:12.020 so if you wanted to sort of ignore

00:07:16.700 the possibility of in-depth detailed and constructive conversations

00:07:20.480 if you dismiss that

00:07:23.820 Then you just say

00:07:26.360 Oh look, weakness, weakness

00:07:28.900 He had an ultimatum, he had a line in the sand

00:07:31.260 And he's backed away from that now

00:07:32.520 Alright, well

00:07:35.600 Again

00:07:36.920 You're grown up people

00:07:39.040 You can make of it what you will

00:07:40.460 You don't need to be told what to think about these things particularly

00:07:44.020 But that's what happened yesterday

00:07:45.420 Well, Iran as well 1.00

00:07:47.040 Came out and said, no, there's been no detailed talks

00:07:49.480 None

00:07:50.780 There's some speculation in a minute

00:07:53.020 we'll say about who he was talking to because a lot of the leadership has already been killed

00:07:58.420 blown to bits martyred however you want to characterize that and the ayatollah is probably

00:08:04.900 incapacitated so whoever the donald was talking to it's not him even the donald said it wasn't

00:08:11.340 him i think at least intimated it um uh so iran have said no there's been no talks

00:08:19.920 Bit odd isn't it?

00:08:23.580 I wonder if

00:08:24.040 Just perhaps the people

00:08:25.380 Trump was talking to

00:08:28.080 Haven't necessarily told

00:08:31.360 The Iranian sort of 0.66

00:08:34.100 State media organs about it

00:08:36.000 I wouldn't be surprised if Iran 1.00

00:08:41.300 Hasn't got a joined up government anymore

00:08:43.300 Different wings of it

00:08:45.040 Aren't talking to each other

00:08:46.060 Can't

00:08:49.920 all right we'll talk more about iran in a moment all in the news today is that

00:08:57.560 that fire bombing attack on those jewish ambulances in golders green

00:09:02.920 forensic teams looking into it trying to find out who it is

00:09:07.400 the oldest hatred is rising again

00:09:11.760 yeah if you have big jewish and muslim populations in your

00:09:18.500 country then yeah

00:09:20.320 it's one of the things I hate about multiculturalism

00:09:26.400 is that all the

00:09:28.660 conflicts from around the world spill out like

00:09:30.440 all of them

00:09:31.620 you've got enough Muslim and Christian Nigerians 1.00

00:09:34.900 in your country they start having 0.99

00:09:36.400 machete attacks in your streets now 0.97

00:09:38.380 you've got Muslim and Buddhist 0.99

00:09:42.540 Burmese people

00:09:44.600 they start having fights

00:09:46.580 tamil tigers and the opposition of the tamil tigers in sri lanka something goes off there

00:09:53.060 and they start fighting each other in your streets indians and pakistanis 0.97

00:09:57.720 flare up over over a cricket match is it a cricket match

00:10:02.640 why i don't want i don't want any of that i don't want any of that

00:10:07.200 or like even pro-iranian and anti-iranian protesters in london

00:10:12.000 If you have a big Jewish community and then import millions of Muslims 1.00

00:10:18.520 Yeah, their ancient hatred for each other will flare up

00:10:26.080 What a surprise

00:10:28.700 Alright, so different papers are reporting this fire differently

00:10:35.580 Some are saying the police are investigating

00:10:37.780 Because it only happened, like, what, two nights ago, is it?

00:10:42.000 Was it on the night of Sunday night was it anyway? Not very long ago at all. The wee hours of Monday morning was it? Anyway. So some of the papers are just saying police are investigating. Some are saying that a pro-Iranian or an Iranian organisation has claimed responsibility for it. Some are saying police are investigating whether that's legit or not.

00:11:06.000 other people on twitter got all sorts of different uh theories about what's really

00:11:13.420 going on here whether it's a site whether it's an insurance job whatever million and one i did

00:11:18.800 the point is what i'm going to say about it is it's not clear exactly who did it and why at this

00:11:25.480 point some of the papers just already saying even though the police are still investigating

00:11:29.600 are already saying it was just the iranians it's just this iranian organization this iranian cell

00:11:35.960 it's them, move on from that, move on from questioning any of that, and now it's just

00:11:41.900 full bore going forward, I mean, no, I'll wait until there's some sort of proper investigation

00:11:49.580 and see what they find first, I think, that's the prudent thing to do, isn't it, I don't

00:12:01.740 know who those three masked men were and what their motivations were ultimately we shall see

00:12:07.880 we shall see starmer refuses to commit to timeline on defense spending pledge yeah because he hates

00:12:14.460 this country and wants it to be weak it's difficult to come to any other sort of conclusion isn't it

00:12:19.140 nearly everything he does undermines us nearly everything he does just undermines

00:12:24.340 everything we are and stand for so of course he's not interested in making our army or navy great

00:12:32.320 again he's got a giant bill to pay for the hundreds of thousands of new people we bring

00:12:46.880 in every country every every into the country every year they've got to have hotels paid for

00:12:53.060 new mobile phones haven't they and then after the hotels just given housing at the expense of native

00:13:00.420 people the nhs just constantly giving free healthcare at the point of need to everyone

00:13:11.140 can't pay for that and have a navy of any note can we so and they're his client class aren't

00:13:18.740 aren't they? He's hoping he will get all their votes once they become citizens so they come 0.95

00:13:24.500 first don't they? For Starmer. Alright. The Daily Mail, desperately trying to pretend

00:13:33.420 it's not utter globalist slop when it is. Okay something about Princess Beatrice, don't

00:13:41.420 care. Trump blinks first, there you go. The Mail group, the Mail or not, the Mail is characterising

00:13:48.460 it as Mr. Trump blinking. He blinked. He blinked first. He had a staring match with Iran and 0.81

00:13:57.980 he couldn't hack it. He blinked. He blinked. Okay. Put that here aside. That's done. Okay.

00:14:10.940 Trump blinks first. With world markets in meltdown, he announces five-day ceasefire.

00:14:15.780 Tehran denies talks and claims he's in retreat.

00:14:20.260 Oh yeah, they would, wouldn't they?

00:14:21.680 Donald Trump yesterday dramatically pulled back from the brink

00:14:24.380 on his threat to obliterate Iran's power plants.

00:14:28.900 Okay, so a little bit about the markets and things.

00:14:33.160 Price of oil.

00:14:34.520 Shall we talk about that? Just a minute. Quick minute.

00:14:38.340 So I think I reported on Friday, or was it even just yesterday,

00:14:41.240 that the oil price was quite high.

00:14:43.080 not astronomically insanely massively higher but it was you know up and around and there isn't one

00:14:50.100 figure as i keep telling you up around 110 115 dollars maybe a little higher depending like

00:14:55.860 brent crude is always more expensive than west texas isn't it anyway i had to look at the price

00:15:00.960 about an hour ago about an hour and 15 minutes hour and 10 minutes ago and what wti west texas

00:15:08.640 intermediate was down at like $91 a barrel. Crude was at like $102 a barrel. There's loads more

00:15:19.160 different types of crude but so somewhere in and around the average is the average you could say

00:15:26.020 is what just shy of $100 a barrel something like that. So the price did come down. The price has

00:15:33.800 come down in fact just before trump made that announcement it spiked a little bit

00:15:38.800 and then it came down those it fell like 14 something like this i think the numbers are

00:15:46.280 roughly sometimes it fell 14 in like five minutes six minutes off the back of donald trump's true

00:15:54.900 social post i read a minute ago that's volatile that's so volatile it's crazily volatile to me

00:16:04.260 it's like the numbers aren't gigantic we're not talking 150 dollars a barrel 200 dollars a barrel

00:16:08.020 okay it's not that so okay but the volatility of it is remarkable to me really remarkable

00:16:16.160 having known a little bit about oil um anyone doesn't know i mentioned it before i don't keep

00:16:21.100 saying it but did used to work for an oil commodities trading firm for a while for a

00:16:27.100 few years was never a trader i only worked in the brokerage side however i took it upon myself to

00:16:32.300 understand oil markets a little bit and oil trading a little bit and a little bit more than

00:16:37.980 the average person on the street not that i'm claiming i'm a true expert or anything anyway

00:16:41.900 volatility volatility is the like crazily falling 14 in four five six minutes

00:16:47.820 little story little extra little bit before i move on a little extra bit on that

00:16:53.840 i think it was in the mail online wasn't it little story suggesting

00:16:58.820 some insider trading i think it was on the the mail was it or was it the express sorry bear with

00:17:07.440 me a second because i think it's a little story it's worth worth talking about um uh if i can't

00:17:15.500 find it in the next few seconds I'll just have to tell you about it without the actual article

00:17:18.080 okay that's what I'm gonna do there's an article I'll probably find it later when I'm scrolling

00:17:23.500 through but it was saying that there's insider trading happened big time just before about 15

00:17:32.240 minutes or so before the Donald made his true social post there was a massive spike which

00:17:39.220 before the markets opened in the US but markets will still be open other places in the world

00:17:45.440 and on various platforms can still buy and trade crude even though like new york isn't open wall

00:17:54.080 street isn't open yet we can still do it there will be markets open and um just before like 15

00:18:00.420 minutes before the donald does that some massive trading activity happened i mean massive like

00:18:05.560 billions like a few billion and it was like unusual really unusual

00:18:11.260 and they were buying futures i.e you're buying what the future price will be

00:18:20.920 or they're shorting it i.e betting on that the price will go down

00:18:26.560 lo and behold 15 minutes later the donald makes his announcement and the rest of the world learns

00:18:35.060 about it for the first time and all the trading desks all the big trading firms start moving the

00:18:41.040 market starts moving the price goes down so anyone who had just made like loads of short bets or

00:18:48.700 bought futures that were betting on the price going down effectively then their quids in

00:18:55.540 it's suspicious it does scream insider knowledge doesn't it

00:19:03.820 and if you remember i bought it to you last week was it last week at some point

00:19:08.840 maybe the week before um there was some people had bet on that maduro was going to get kidnapped

00:19:17.640 and had bet on that the ayatollah was going to die very very shortly just merely hours before

00:19:23.280 those things happened so it seems like there's people inside the pentagon perhaps the state

00:19:33.880 department perhaps the white house uh perhaps perhaps people in in israel but who knows who

00:19:41.700 really's got like the inside skinny on all these things but they've got that knowledge

00:19:46.100 and they're just making loads of money off of it quite a lot of money

00:19:50.460 it is scummy isn't it really really scummy behavior peter manderson sort of behavior

00:20:03.880 Oh there you go, that's enough about the markets I think for this morning

00:20:09.020 Enough about the price of crude and stuff

00:20:12.380 Alright, Trump blinks first according to the mail

00:20:15.180 And the Iranians 0.99

00:20:16.460 Okay

00:20:18.500 So Trump's giving them another five days

00:20:22.700 The Financial Times

00:20:24.000 Trump touts diplomatic end to war

00:20:27.000 And the little bits of blurb say

00:20:29.720 Threatened strike on Iran

00:20:32.360 energy facilities called off hashtag Trump blinked crude price tumbles as

00:20:40.400 stocks and bonds rebound yes it wasn't just that the crude price went down it

00:20:44.480 was the equities various equities and things and bond markets or just it says

00:20:47.820 there have gone back up a bit the markets like liked it when if the war

00:20:56.600 comes to an end it's good for business war's bad for business well unless you

00:21:01.080 manufacture munitions unless you're an aerospace manufacturer of course

00:21:05.620 okay crude oil tumbles and stocks and bonds rebound tehran says no talks have been held

00:21:13.340 with washington yeah they just said no what don't what is the donald's talking about

00:21:18.000 they basically just called him a liar saying that's just not true

00:21:21.560 i've got no special insight maybe that is the case maybe the donald's just saying something

00:21:28.200 you know he's just uh he's just saying it so the markets have a little bit of respite and it's all

00:21:33.780 not true i sort of doubt that personally but it could be couldn't it it could be

00:21:38.940 okay and pentagon orders more american forces into region so one of the things iran said said that

00:21:48.600 all this talk of peace and um five-day windows and diplomatic diplomatic coups and all that sort of

00:21:57.600 thing iran suggested that all of that is just to give the americans a little bit of breathing space

00:22:05.440 to do yet more massive waves and strikes and even put boots on the ground to a limited degree

00:22:11.040 iran suspect it's all just a ploy to hit them even harder in the near future whether it's five 0.64

00:22:19.620 days from now or whatever again i don't know of course i'm not on the inside at the pentagon the

00:22:27.940 inner ring of the pentagon um may well be true might not who knows future of only fans empire

00:22:36.980 in doubt as reclusive owner radvinsky dies at 43 yeah that the the owner of only fans died

00:22:44.760 I mean I did have a

00:22:52.440 somewhere I had my

00:22:55.020 tiny violin, I think I left it at home

00:22:57.660 ok, The Guardian

00:22:59.000 The Guardian

00:23:02.400 Gross

00:23:05.240 Trump stills strikes

00:23:08.100 amid claims of

00:23:09.260 quote, productive quote, talks with Tehran

00:23:11.300 alright, and The Guardian

00:23:14.300 going with the horrific arson attack

00:23:17.560 on Jewish charity condoned by PM

00:23:19.540 yeah everyone came out

00:23:20.660 yes that's everyone

00:23:21.280 lots and lots and lots of people

00:23:23.340 in the British establishment

00:23:24.840 from the Prime Minister on down

00:23:26.380 they all came out

00:23:28.480 condemning this thing

00:23:30.220 as absolutely diabolical and terrible

00:23:32.580 I mean it's pretty bad

00:23:34.740 don't get me wrong

00:23:35.400 I mean it's not nice is it

00:23:36.600 it's not good

00:23:37.160 no one was hurt though

00:23:40.360 so you know

00:23:41.400 keep some perspective on it

00:23:42.960 but yeah this is

00:23:44.020 This is a multicultural society, isn't it?

00:23:48.760 It's funny, I thought it was our greatest strength.

00:23:53.500 According to Rishi's 50p,

00:23:56.760 diversity built Britain.

00:24:02.280 What was our greatest strength?

00:24:05.140 No?

00:24:08.300 Well, if you've got some old ambulances

00:24:10.000 that you need to write off for insurance purposes,

00:24:11.880 it's a strength, isn't it?

00:24:12.620 oh no, oh no, some ambulances got burnt down

00:24:21.540 meanwhile, endless injustices, assaults and rapes

00:24:27.400 ok

00:24:34.460 the independent, Trump halts bombs but Iran says talks claim is

00:24:39.300 a fake news fake news nearly completely

00:24:43.480 completely denied is happening I wonder

00:24:46.540 president pauses strikes after quote productive conversations quite

00:24:50.200 sending shares up in oil prices down but I run dismisses any dialogue

00:24:54.020 and accuses washington of buying time for fresh

00:24:57.840 for fresh military tax yeah they got it

00:25:01.540 the Iranians think washington's just trying to buy some time

00:25:05.360 to smash them up even harder

00:25:09.080 one thing to say though

00:25:11.140 I think this is interesting

00:25:12.000 one sort of

00:25:13.600 element to this

00:25:15.560 is

00:25:16.180 if the

00:25:17.740 leadership of Iran

00:25:19.880 is mostly

00:25:20.460 if not entirely

00:25:21.460 gone

00:25:22.860 the regime

00:25:26.080 as it existed

00:25:26.940 before this war began

00:25:28.080 I mean

00:25:28.640 it's almost entirely gone

00:25:29.700 the Ayatollah

00:25:31.020 the new Ayatollah

00:25:31.700 is incapacitated

00:25:32.900 to some degree

00:25:33.900 and then

00:25:35.800 even like the second tier

00:25:37.000 of leadership

00:25:37.520 that the first tier

00:25:38.380 got replaced with

00:25:39.000 they're largely gone or a lot of those are gone it was just the other day wasn't it the de facto

00:25:43.360 leader was killed who is Trump talking to and have they got any real authority and stuff

00:25:49.360 well shall we have a look was it on the Washington Post was it the Washington Post

00:25:57.220 oh no sorry I think maybe it was the Sun yeah okay the Sun the Sun asked that question basically

00:26:02.640 so who's if Trump did have these productive talks in-depth productive talks in the tone of

00:26:08.580 Tenor of it was all good

00:26:10.060 Who's he talking to though

00:26:11.580 Who is it

00:26:12.760 Well

00:26:13.760 In the sun

00:26:15.000 They say it's this guy

00:26:16.060 And he's the

00:26:19.100 Speaker of their parliament

00:26:20.980 So the equivalent of Lindsay Hoyle

00:26:23.920 Sort of

00:26:24.440 In Iran 0.76

00:26:27.040 Can he speak for the whole of

00:26:30.060 The Iranian government

00:26:31.560 And nation

00:26:32.280 I don't know

00:26:35.540 But I doubt it

00:26:38.580 is this Iran's real leader

00:26:41.840 Trump negotiating with key regime figure

00:26:47.000 that was one of the things he said

00:26:48.000 when people asked him that

00:26:49.300 Trump

00:26:49.680 because he spoke to the media

00:26:51.440 a couple of times yesterday

00:26:52.260 they said who are you talking to

00:26:54.360 it's sort of the obvious question isn't it

00:26:55.780 and he said just a key regime figure

00:26:58.280 they're like who

00:26:59.680 and he's like well I'm not going to say

00:27:00.680 I'm not going to say that

00:27:01.440 anyway

00:27:02.620 the son

00:27:04.560 pointing the finger at this chap

00:27:07.280 There you go

00:27:11.100 As maimed and missing Ayatollah 0.52

00:27:12.760 Nowhere to be seen still

00:27:14.500 Yeah

00:27:15.520 The

00:27:16.040 Iran don't even seem to be 1.00

00:27:18.820 Particularly pushing back now

00:27:20.420 Even

00:27:20.720 On the claims that the Ayatollah is

00:27:22.860 Experiencing difficulties

00:27:28.060 Shall we say

00:27:28.620 How else could

00:27:29.080 Let's see

00:27:29.820 Is he in a coma

00:27:31.000 Is he actually in a coma

00:27:31.860 Who knows

00:27:33.080 But

00:27:33.400 Alright

00:27:34.000 Sun say it's this guy

00:27:36.780 I read his name earlier

00:27:39.820 I can't even remember what his name is

00:27:40.960 Does it matter really?

00:27:43.000 Is he really the guy in control?

00:27:48.420 Alright

00:27:48.980 Oh there we go

00:27:52.040 Mohammed

00:27:53.500 Bagher

00:27:55.060 Galibath

00:27:56.560 Mr. Galibath

00:28:03.280 Striking a deal

00:29:24.900 Outrage.

00:29:25.440 Fury.

00:29:28.420 Ambulance torched by bigots saved my baby's life.

00:29:31.280 Did it?

00:29:31.640 Did it?

00:29:32.080 Alright.

00:29:32.420 Okay.

00:29:35.000 Next.

00:29:35.860 The iPaper.

00:29:37.560 Shall we quickly read this in the little blurb?

00:29:40.220 Sum it up.

00:29:40.960 We'll move on to the websites.

00:29:42.780 Okay.

00:29:43.260 UK investigates possible Iran link to arson attacks on Jewish ambulances.

00:29:47.720 I mean, look, the iPaper.

00:29:48.660 there's gone with at least they put the word possible in there possible iranian link

00:29:54.580 other papers are saying it just is anyway it says security agencies are investigating whether iran

00:30:04.060 could be involved in attacks on four ambulances in north london after a group which supports regime

00:30:08.680 claimed it was responsible counter-terror police uh lead inquiry into fires targeting an emergency

00:30:15.880 medical service in golders green home to a large jewish community saying all lines of inquiry are

00:30:21.780 open starmer vows to quote fight the poison that is anti-semitism quote after the deeply shocking

00:30:28.360 attack trump says iran wants to make a deal after postponing strikes on energy targets but tehran

00:30:37.280 denies any negotiations have taken place and claims u.s is backing down u.s public

00:30:42.520 US public could be sent

00:30:45.600 Phone alerts in event of

00:30:47.760 Incoming missile strikes, ministers suggest

00:30:50.060 That's funny, on Sunday morning

00:30:51.740 Stephen Reid, the housing secretary

00:30:53.200 Said there's no way, it's not happening

00:30:55.480 They haven't got the capacity to do it

00:30:57.940 And even if they did, they've got no political

00:30:59.640 There's no

00:31:00.120 That's not going to happen

00:31:02.600 Now, look out, the government sent you a text

00:31:06.140 You've got a four minute warning

00:31:08.280 Duck and cover

00:31:10.000 I don't know, what nonsense

00:31:11.780 What nonsense

00:31:12.600 Okay, alright

00:31:13.580 The other thing there

00:31:16.040 I thought was interesting

00:31:17.080 Starmer vows to fight

00:31:18.640 The poison that is

00:31:19.640 Anti-Semitism

00:31:20.440 Oh, you're going to

00:31:21.320 Address

00:31:21.900 The anti-Semitism

00:31:23.500 At the core

00:31:25.460 Of many

00:31:27.620 Islamic cultures

00:31:29.080 Muslim communities

00:31:30.960 You're going to

00:31:31.320 Address that

00:31:32.000 You're going to

00:31:32.740 Root that out

00:31:33.440 And fight that

00:31:34.320 Are you?

00:31:36.600 Starmer?

00:31:38.340 Really?

00:31:40.780 No, you're not

00:31:41.380 But you can't

00:31:43.380 1,400 years of tradition

00:31:52.140 That's written down in the Hadiths and the Quran

00:32:01.840 Does it say in some of those texts?

00:32:04.920 Does it say things about...

00:32:06.920 I won't quote them, probably get the channel yeeted if I've quoted them

00:32:11.100 But you're going to really root out the poison of anti-Semitism.

00:32:20.660 It's not really native anti-Semitism, is it?

00:32:25.600 That's not really the problem, is it?

00:32:27.720 That's how a lot of the papers and the lefties and the government want to characterise it.

00:32:31.160 It's just British anti-Semitism.

00:32:36.680 Jewish cemeteries get desecrated.

00:32:41.100 It's just anti-Semitism 0.83

00:32:42.660 There's just a rise of anti-Semitism in Britain

00:32:49.100 Really?

00:32:51.740 It's not coming from a particular place

00:32:53.580 A particular type of people

00:32:55.300 A particular stripe of thought

00:32:58.000 Is it?

00:32:59.600 No?

00:33:02.080 Just Brits 0.88

00:33:03.360 You're going to fight the poison

00:33:07.560 No you're not 0.98

00:33:08.220 No you're not because you're a weak man 1.00

00:33:10.160 You're a very, very weak man 0.99

00:33:12.260 You're spineless morally and politically 1.00

00:33:14.020 And you're in hock to the Muslim vote 0.99

00:33:17.400 So you're not going to do that 1.00

00:33:18.840 What a liar 0.98

00:33:20.240 He's going to fight the poison that is anti-Semitism 0.99

00:33:23.120 The real anti-Semitism in this country 0.66

00:33:25.780 There was a story just a day ago

00:33:28.960 Or two days ago or over the weekend

00:33:30.280 That there was an Iranian

00:33:32.180 Seems like it was truly Iranian 0.98

00:33:34.740 A back group

00:33:37.880 Was scouting out Jewish 1.00

00:33:39.880 Targets

00:33:42.160 I think

00:33:43.340 Was it in Birmingham anyway

00:33:44.840 Right

00:33:48.400 So he's going to tackle that is he

00:33:50.520 No he's not

00:33:52.480 He can't tackle anything

00:33:54.040 He can't tackle anything

00:33:55.560 The Express

00:34:00.460 express we must work to eliminate this ancient scourge

00:34:13.060 it's getting close to actually mentioning islam isn't it

00:34:18.700 MPs renew calls to stamp out anti-semitism after chilling ambulance arson attack we must eliminate

00:34:29.620 this ancient scourge good luck with that but not deport anyone no no that would still be neo-nazi 0.73

00:34:39.940 to actually deport people okay ministers were urged to act to stamp out anti to stamp out

00:34:50.160 anti-semitism after arsonists destroyed four jewish charity ambulances just stamp it out

00:34:56.580 Ministers were urged to act

00:34:59.580 Like a backbencher

00:35:02.700 Just says, excuse me

00:35:04.160 I say, old boy

00:35:05.680 You wouldn't mind stamping out anti-Semitism, would you?

00:35:09.240 Jolly good

00:35:09.820 Yeah, alright, yeah

00:35:12.300 Okay

00:35:12.940 Okay

00:35:14.080 You're not living in a complete fantasy realm

00:35:16.100 Okay, that's alright

00:35:17.180 I mean, you could actually deal with it

00:35:20.240 At least to a degree

00:35:21.300 By deporting hundreds of thousands

00:35:23.400 Or even millions of people

00:35:25.000 who by rights shouldn't even have been here have come here since 1997 and if we ever had a normal

00:35:31.420 immigration and border policy would never be here could do that could talk about mastery migration

00:35:37.560 aim high vote low millions must go from zoomers to boomers you could do that but no no no any cap

00:35:44.580 on migration is beyond the pale we want more safe and legal routes if anything according to these

00:35:49.380 people. The same people that are asking for the ancient scourge of anti-Semitism to be

00:35:54.700 rid from these islands also want more safe and legal routes. Make that make sense? How

00:36:01.300 does that make sense? Madness, isn't it? Globalism is mad. Absolutely mad. We must be mad. Literally

00:36:15.700 man. Alright, the times. The venerable times. France migrants agreement held up by Mahmoud's 0.99

00:36:25.540 tougher terms. So even though that's very different. Okay, what you're saying is the

00:36:32.220 deal we had with France. I mentioned it yesterday so I'll only spend a minute or two. The deal

00:36:36.060 we had with France to stop the migrant boats. Sent them knocking 500 million pounds to do

00:36:41.060 that and they're just not doing it are they? Just simply not doing it. Often French police.

00:36:44.680 standing on the beach just watching it happen to get a renewal on that agreement

00:36:51.980 Mahmoud's not happy she wants tougher terms on it does she does she really

00:36:57.600 Tehran linked to arson attack on ambulances see the the times are just saying it simply is them

00:37:04.460 not that the police are investigating not that a group claimed it but the police are yet to verify

00:37:09.960 that not that we still don't know exactly who they were or anything they certainly haven't

00:37:14.320 been arrested or anything and questioned but other times it's happy to say it just was them

00:37:21.180 all right i wonder what information they've got i wonder what investigative journalism they were

00:37:27.000 able to pull out of the hat to just say that all right trump i'd bet on deal with iran president

00:37:32.840 eases threat on destroying power infrastructure and raises hopes of straight of hormuz reopening

00:37:37.660 The mirror, getting into some of the tabloids 0.76

00:37:41.420 More ridiculous 1.00

00:37:42.680 Poor little sick child there 1.00

00:37:44.980 Andrew's servants now live in this temporary home

00:37:50.880 How is that news?

00:37:54.940 Welding crisis

00:37:56.140 Trump claims he has held peace talks with Tehran

00:37:59.860 Iranians say it didn't happen

00:38:02.040 A Starmer warns war could go on for some time

00:38:04.600 Oh yeah, there was a Cobra meeting yesterday

00:38:05.960 And they came to the conclusion that the war could go on for some time

00:38:10.540 Wow

00:38:11.080 Wow

00:38:13.100 Thank God we're being governed by some great political minds

00:38:18.440 Okay, The Sun

00:38:23.440 Where's my map? It's okay

00:38:25.660 The Sun

00:38:53.140 he was big in the 60s even 60s and 70s all through the 80s and 90s he was funny i liked

00:38:59.560 Bob Monkhouse, it was actually funny. Anyway, The Sun decides that today, on the front page,

00:39:07.860 whilst the world hangs in the balance, or the Middle East, hangs in the balance,

00:39:14.060 Monkhouse repair shop acts. Can I even be bothered to explain it to you? Barmy Beeb bans Bob.

00:39:22.520 woke worker offended by gags so he wasn't blue particularly Bob Monkhouse like ever so slightly

00:39:33.920 risqué jokes ever so slightly he didn't swear and it was it was all TV friendly well for example

00:39:40.860 he'd make a joke like this a classic one-liner he did loads of one-liners I can still enjoy sex

00:39:47.040 at 74

00:39:47.760 I live at 76

00:39:49.600 so it's no distance

00:39:50.760 that's

00:39:52.120 sort of

00:39:52.920 Bob Monkhouse joke

00:39:53.660 stuff like that

00:39:57.140 but the BBC

00:39:58.360 one particular

00:39:59.840 woke worker

00:40:00.340 was offended

00:40:00.880 so they're going to start

00:40:02.200 they won't

00:40:02.780 sort of

00:40:04.080 they're going to try and

00:40:04.840 memory hold

00:40:05.660 Bob Monkhouse

00:40:06.420 alright

00:40:11.140 the star

00:40:15.640 yeah

00:40:16.620 The star runs with

00:40:17.940 On the front page

00:40:18.760 That

00:40:20.440 Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor

00:40:22.180 Andrew Saxe-Coburg-Gotha

00:40:23.940 The people that

00:40:24.980 Wait on him

00:40:25.920 His servants

00:40:27.080 Are now living in this

00:40:29.340 Sort of temporary

00:40:30.200 Mobile home

00:40:30.900 Trailer

00:40:31.680 Trailer park

00:40:33.280 House thing

00:40:33.880 Okay

00:40:37.200 That's it

00:40:37.980 That's it

00:40:38.800 Shall we have a look

00:40:39.860 At our poll

00:40:40.920 What did we say

00:40:41.520 In our poll today Harry

00:40:42.400 Can we have a look

00:40:43.020 Let's have a butcher's 0.73

00:40:45.800 A butcher's hook

00:40:46.440 Okay, we asked you

00:40:49.000 Just simply, has Trump blinked?

00:40:54.700 So, again, just to reiterate my position

00:40:57.000 I wouldn't characterise it as that necessarily

00:40:59.840 But there is an element of that to it

00:41:01.680 So, I don't even know what I would have clicked

00:41:03.860 Okay, so what have you put?

00:41:07.600 You've put, has Trump blinked?

00:41:09.560 Well, opinions are relatively split

00:41:12.200 47% of you

00:41:14.000 about a thousand votes just shy of a thousand votes 47 of you say yes trump has blinked 24 25

00:41:21.560 just ticked up to 25 of you say no trump has not blinked oh in a big chunk look 28 of you say maybe

00:41:29.700 yeah that's sort of that's a funny one sometimes we tee you up don't you hopefully we'll get a 90

00:41:35.460 plus of all the orders everyone agreeing and sometimes it will be more like something like

00:41:42.200 there isn't really necessarily a full-blown black-on-white answer to that yes or no is it

00:41:47.800 so it's split and there's a massive chunk of maybe so yeah that's sort of how i feel about it um

00:41:54.360 cool cool all right good good the audience here you guys the glorious band the chosen few

00:42:02.600 i've got good sense got good sense uh literally not once i've done a poll

00:42:07.240 Other than perhaps the one about David Lammy.

00:42:11.420 Not once have we done a poll where I've been like, ooh, that's off.

00:42:15.060 Ooh.

00:42:16.160 That's weird.

00:42:17.900 That's disquieting to me that my own audience are so wrong-headed.

00:42:23.360 Not once.

00:42:24.160 Not once.

00:42:24.660 Other than the David Lammy thing.

00:42:27.760 I was being trolled there.

00:42:29.040 I'm sure I was being trolled there.

00:42:31.440 For anyone who didn't watch that, I've only tuned in to the Bose show in the last week or so.

00:42:35.140 did a poll once

00:42:37.440 who would you want to see as the next one 0.52

00:42:39.060 if Keir Starmer was to resign

00:42:41.620 or be forced out

00:42:42.400 who out of the Labour big beasts

00:42:44.460 Yvette Cooper or

00:42:46.100 Angela Fridge-Rainer or whatever

00:42:48.700 who would you want to see

00:42:49.700 David Lammy won it, comfortably

00:42:51.120 I wasn't happy with that

00:42:53.880 surely I was being trolling

00:42:55.800 in fact people did say they were trolling

00:42:57.200 although there's one guy in the chat

00:42:59.540 and sometimes puts in a super chat

00:43:02.580 called Lammy is my kang

00:43:04.880 he seems to really want well the accelerationists would want him wouldn't they

00:43:13.460 now it needs to get worse before it gets better sort of view i don't hold that view i'm not an

00:43:19.600 accelerationist um but still they would you would you guys would click on and i get it though i get

00:43:26.460 accelerationism i do understand it um you would click on them all right enough of that enough of

00:43:32.120 that if you have a look at the websites it's uh oh god it's knocking quarter two

00:43:36.140 have a quick look at the websites oh okay starting with the beebe starting with evil auntie

00:43:43.760 uh okay oh oh good yeah artemis 2 lovely a little bit of a white pill kind of a white pill um

00:43:52.560 so they're saying it may be as soon as the 1st of april which is what a week away could be as

00:44:00.060 as early as the first of april usually these things get set back a little bit

00:44:04.340 that's saying that's assuming there isn't a big setback another big setback

00:44:08.940 so in and around the beginning of april hopefully fingers crossed everything crossed

00:44:14.200 um if you believe it's real this giant space launch system nasa's sls the space launch system

00:44:25.080 um it's going to go to the moon fly around the moon with people in it

00:44:29.000 right at the top of it is a little capsule a little capsule which will um send people look

00:44:37.280 that bit right there on the top just in just there really or where that walkway is

00:44:42.040 four people three no four i think four people

00:44:47.980 alive human beings will clamber into this

00:44:50.560 and it will fire all the way to the moon slingshot around me not land slingshot around the moon and

00:44:59.260 come back so that when they do artemis 3 they are actually going to land on the moon so this is like

00:45:09.040 the final sort of test sort of proof that we can indeed do that again 50 years later whatever 60

00:45:16.140 years after the first time um so all right look out for that if you believe it's true and real

00:45:23.940 which of course i do i don't think nasa is just some sort of nefarious lying a machine i said that

00:45:32.340 on twitter um now i sort of believe it is well hopefully they'll be able to prove one way or

00:45:39.640 another beyond all doubt that they're actually doing it that they're not just going into

00:45:43.440 low earth orbit and then faking photoshops and ai footage and it's all fake hopefully they'll

00:45:51.400 be able to show beyond any question of a doubt that is sort of real if you like or some people

00:45:57.180 think even low earth orbit even that's fake some people think don't they it's all just on comet

00:46:02.880 vomit stuff the the illusion of weightlessness ah all right okay artemis 2 check it out in a week

00:46:11.660 or so's time, maybe more like

00:46:13.600 two weeks, hopefully we'll be able

00:46:15.700 to bring you

00:46:17.460 news and images

00:46:19.260 and footage

00:46:20.620 of people flying around

00:46:23.540 the dark side of the moon and coming back

00:46:25.540 ok, let's hope, fingers

00:46:27.620 crossed for them

00:46:28.420 alright, oh Bill Cosby

00:50:24.180 so have a quick look

00:50:24.760 at this day in history

00:50:26.000 okay

00:50:27.640 on this day

00:50:28.580 on the 24th of March

00:50:29.440 down through the centuries

00:50:30.240 what happened of note

00:50:31.040 the union of the crowns

00:50:32.800 there you go

00:50:33.100 in 1603

00:50:33.820 Scottish king

00:50:35.040 King James VI

00:50:36.900 of Scotland

00:50:38.280 who was the son

00:50:39.540 of Mary Queen of Scots

00:50:40.560 becomes

00:50:42.520 King James I of England

00:50:44.180 right

00:50:44.880 so King James VI

00:50:45.960 of Scotland

00:50:46.520 and King James I

00:50:47.660 of England

00:50:48.120 it's the same guy

00:50:49.000 same guy

00:50:50.300 After Queen Elizabeth

00:50:55.160 Good Queen Bess 0.98

00:50:55.860 Dias 1.00

00:50:56.240 Of old age

00:50:57.460 Uniting the English 0.74

00:50:58.680 And Scottish crowns

00:51:00.460 Yeah there you go

00:51:01.540 So much I could say

00:51:02.440 About James I

00:51:03.380 Very interesting

00:51:04.440 I don't like him

00:51:05.720 When you look back

00:51:07.120 At history

00:51:07.560 And read the accounts

00:51:08.640 And what he was like

00:51:09.300 And what he did and said

00:51:09.980 I find him really

00:51:10.920 Frustrating and annoying

00:51:11.940 But a pivotal

00:51:14.800 Pivotal point in history

00:51:15.960 Absolutely a pivotal point

00:51:16.720 You know it's the end

00:51:17.320 Of the Tudor era

00:51:18.180 And the start of

00:51:18.840 The Stuarts

00:51:19.940 he's a Stuart isn't he, he's the first Stuart King

00:51:22.480 his son

00:51:24.540 was Charles I

00:51:25.560 right, the one that gets his head

00:51:28.360 cut off by Oliver Cromwell

00:51:29.440 the Stuarts, alright

00:51:31.480 so much I could say about James

00:51:33.680 when I get up to him in Epochs

00:51:35.500 it'll have to be a multiple episode

00:51:37.240 mini series just on James

00:51:39.700 all of them will, all the Tudors will 0.97

00:51:42.760 it's going to be multiple

00:51:44.760 episodes going forward

00:51:46.220 regardless now I think

00:51:47.980 It would be a shame

00:51:50.540 Someone like Queen Elizabeth or James I

00:51:53.000 To just do one episode of an hour

00:51:55.160 Or an hour and a half on Epox

00:51:56.360 Find the paywall

00:51:57.580 They'll all have to have multiple hours on them

00:52:03.240 Won't they?

00:52:04.560 It's the only way to do it justice

00:52:05.520 On this day in 1837

00:52:07.560 Canada grants its black citizens 0.85

00:52:09.720 The right to vote

00:52:10.680 Yeah well done 0.94

00:52:12.700 Not many black people in Canada

00:52:14.480 In the early 19th century

00:52:16.040 but okay in 1882 German scientist Robert Koch discovers and describes tuberculosis basically

00:52:24.200 establishing the germ theory of disease I always find that fascinating I've told you before I'm

00:52:30.300 interested in the history of medicine 1882 that's so late isn't it or it feels like it is to me

00:52:36.980 so late in history before they really really understood about microscopic organisms that

00:52:44.340 can cause infection and stuff 1882 if you didn't know any better you might be forgiven for thinking

00:52:52.080 it was a lot earlier than that nope 1882 okay in 1976 argentine president isabel perron is supposed

00:53:02.960 in a military coup d'etat headed by videla so that's not juan perron juan perron had died

00:53:12.620 Of natural causes, was it?

00:53:14.220 Yeah, of natural causes

00:53:15.140 Like a couple of years before that

00:53:16.800 And his wife took over

00:53:17.840 Like his third wife 1.00

00:53:20.080 Isabel, Isabel Peron

00:53:23.020 She inherited a very difficult situation

00:53:26.680 She just tried to continue on

00:53:28.420 Just continue with Peronism

00:53:31.020 Difficult time in Argentina

00:53:36.780 In the 70s

00:53:37.740 Very difficult time

00:53:38.800 So she managed to sort of hold it together

00:53:41.380 for like two years odd and then yeah as it says there the military coup d'etat took her out and

00:53:48.640 um well then you get the military junta era in argentina

00:53:53.400 again peron juan peron that is fascinating person for better or worse you know like the

00:54:01.080 way genghis khan or starlin is fascinating not that i'm saying peron is anything like genghis

00:54:05.360 carl starling but not necessarily pro peron's policies but is a fascinating person fascinating

00:54:12.140 career all right on this day 1999 nato commences an air bombardment against yugoslavia during the

00:54:17.680 kosovo war and the first attack by nato on a sovereign country um yeah i'd have to do something

00:54:23.720 all about the yugoslav wars going back to the 90s at some point it's very very complicated

00:54:28.760 one of the reasons i haven't done that already i've had it in mind since the beginning one of

00:54:32.960 reason why i haven't done it it's the same reason i'd never got round to doing an epochs or history

00:54:37.740 thing content about the mexican cartels because the more you read about it the more you find out

00:54:41.900 about it the more complicated it becomes it's almost like a never-ending rabbit hole of detail

00:54:46.540 you're like oh wait everything i thought now this new thing i've just read and found out about that

00:54:51.420 throws everything else into confusion in my mind and you only want to do a bit of content when

00:54:56.240 you've got everything clear in your own mind at least that's the bare minimum isn't it

00:54:59.000 the Yugoslav wars are extremely complicated it's not a cop-out they just really really are

00:55:05.240 Kosovo basically towards the end of it all isn't it but yeah NATO by 1999 with Tony Blair

00:55:13.040 NATO starts getting punchy for the first time really right on this day in 2020 Indian PM Modi

00:55:21.860 orders a 21-day lockdown for the country's 1.3 billion people to address COVID-19 all right we

00:55:27.920 all remember that we should we all lived through that didn't we all right should we have a look

00:55:32.060 at the super chats and rumble rants i'll have to get through them relatively quickly if you don't

00:55:37.560 mind that's all right with you the glorious band all right we've got two rumble rants we've got

00:55:43.240 14 barbara hi mate cheers for uh chipping in he says morning beau all right not not spending on 0.96

00:55:51.100 the military to make sure we have to join the eu army is so pathetic 0.74

00:55:57.920 It's a correct take, isn't it?

00:56:00.620 I'd like to see spending on drone, remote-controlled boats, planes, etc.

00:56:06.360 Yeah, Keir Starmer's committed to the European project, isn't he?

00:56:09.400 As much as possible, as much as he can get away with politically.

00:56:12.320 So we'll keep giving money to NATO and even a non-NATO European standing army,

00:56:18.360 but we won't invest in our own one.

00:56:20.360 Crazy.

00:56:21.100 Why would you? 1.00

00:56:21.620 That's mad.

00:56:22.120 Why would you?

00:56:23.480 Well, if you hate your own country.

00:56:25.000 That's why you would, isn't it?

00:56:26.100 But yeah, good take for Tim Barber, absolutely right

00:56:29.300 Okay, the second one says

00:56:31.340 From someone called Scanlines

00:56:33.400 Says, aim higher, vote low as a slogan 0.99

00:56:36.740 Sounds like, sounds like we plan to lose

00:56:40.100 I mean, as long as you know that low is

00:56:44.980 With an E

00:56:46.780 We're talking about the name

00:56:48.460 But I suppose, I suppose I see what we say

00:56:50.320 You say, it's not a great

00:56:54.220 I suppose you meant it's not great

00:56:56.020 Have low standards, millions must go

00:56:58.900 I see what you mean, I do see what you mean

00:57:00.580 But I feel like most people

00:57:02.440 Anyone that would say it anyway

00:57:04.940 Probably heard of Rupert Lowe and gets the wordplay

00:57:08.620 But I see what you mean

00:57:09.860 If you'd never heard of Rupert Lowe

00:57:12.300 And you'd just heard that slogan

00:57:14.560 You might come to that conclusion

00:57:16.340 Fair enough, alright, fair enough

00:57:17.380 Alright, let's have a look at the

00:57:20.120 There are all the Rumble Rants

00:57:21.020 So it's the YouTube Super Chats

00:57:22.280 Global Church History in at number one

00:57:24.840 You say

00:57:28.960 Today

00:57:29.820 1207

00:57:31.300 Would have to be

00:57:31.800 1207 AD

00:57:32.760 Innocent

00:57:33.360 Pope Innocent III

00:57:34.240 Puts England

00:57:35.220 Into

00:57:36.120 Interdict

00:57:36.400 Yeah that was when

00:57:37.320 His

00:57:37.520 King John days

00:57:39.060 Isn't it

00:57:39.480 King John

00:57:40.780 And

00:57:41.100 He was in trouble

00:57:42.340 With the Pope

00:57:42.960 The church

00:57:44.760 And the Pope

00:57:45.260 Wanted him to do

00:57:46.040 Certain things

00:57:46.700 And he wasn't prepared to

00:57:47.780 They had a staring match

00:57:49.560 Neither side blinked

00:57:51.700 The Pope's

00:57:52.420 Ultimate

00:57:52.900 Tool for coercion 0.98

00:57:56.840 Is to

00:57:57.320 Excommunicate John personally

00:57:59.960 And put the whole country under interdict

00:58:01.760 If you're a Catholic

00:58:04.800 If you're like a 13th century Catholic 0.97

00:58:06.500 That would be pretty bad 1.00

00:58:07.660 Like if you died

00:58:09.980 You can't go to heaven

00:58:11.840 Stuff like that

00:58:14.720 Anyway they worked it out

00:58:16.860 Don't worry they worked it out

00:58:18.480 John got that reversed ultimately

00:58:20.720 Alright

00:58:22.940 Anyway

00:58:24.140 Very interesting though

00:58:25.100 I've got on

00:58:25.940 On Epox

00:58:28.120 I've got all sorts of content

00:58:28.940 About King John

00:58:29.620 Okay

00:58:32.080 LJMV says

00:58:35.420 Evening Bo

00:58:36.360 You magnificent man

00:58:37.700 Trump effed up

00:58:39.060 Evening to you

00:58:40.940 Yeah you think so

00:58:42.200 You think you've mishandled the thing

00:58:43.360 Yeah quite maybe

00:58:44.100 Possibly yeah

00:58:44.760 I mean

00:58:45.060 But good evening to you

00:58:48.460 Thanks for calling me

00:58:49.740 a magnificent man, magnificent, LJMV also goes on to say, next one is also you, says,

00:58:58.160 off topic, but did you check out Asha Logos, sorry, no, also, do you have stuff on the

00:59:05.620 Goths, yes, yes, also, not sure if true, but insider trading may have occurred, yeah,

00:59:13.380 talked about that earlier in the show and i do have stuff on the goths a fair few bits here or

00:59:19.880 there i mean got a thing all about alaric more than one bit of content all about the gothic

00:59:29.940 invasions at various points and not just alaric but um yeah yeah yeah there's stuff on the goths

00:59:38.780 Stuff on, like, gothic invasions, vandalic invasions, all sorts of stuff.

00:59:44.260 Stuff on Attila. Attila's not a goth, but anyway.

00:59:48.280 Yes, there is content on the goths.

00:59:52.760 Okay, LJV again says,

00:59:56.940 says, Tucci and Lissac, both, and then you call them a pejorative word,

01:00:03.180 which I shan't read out for the sake of propriety.

01:00:05.840 So I guess that's Maya Tucci and Nick Lissac.

01:00:07.780 you're saying

01:00:09.300 they're a rude word

01:00:10.880 can't stand

01:00:14.020 imported conflicts

01:00:15.380 any other lads in the chat

01:00:19.720 want to meet up for a beer

01:00:21.100 with this Aussie 0.99

01:00:22.840 ok well I'll leave that to the chat

01:00:24.700 but alright

01:00:25.560 Matisse is obviously pro-Iranian

01:00:28.660 not Iranian regime but in Persia

01:00:30.620 the country Iranian

01:00:31.320 he's very very pro-Jewish

01:00:34.400 isn't he I believe I'm giving to understand

01:00:36.080 I don't follow him

01:00:36.900 Okay, just imported conflicts

01:00:40.420 Yeah

01:00:40.900 The scourge of imported conflicts into Britain 1.00

01:00:46.700 Get out of my country

01:00:52.900 Principled Uncertainty says

01:00:56.460 Trump rashly made his four hour threat

01:01:01.200 Immediately was told it was an insane idea

01:01:04.580 suddenly negotiates five five day ceasefire but can't say who as they might get killed

01:01:12.720 can't say i guess you mean can't say who he negotiated with as they might get killed and

01:01:17.120 then you say uh what by who he's lost it bow that's a fair thing to say i'm not gonna say no

01:01:27.520 that's crazy that's wrong where you how where you're getting that from no yeah you could you

01:01:32.960 could characterize it as you have just done you could yep i wouldn't actually personally i wouldn't

01:01:41.260 quite go that far but it may because we don't know exactly do we we don't know exactly his

01:01:46.940 thinking and exactly what's going on behind the scenes but you may well be perfectly correct

01:01:52.620 what you just wrote there all right and the last one for today that's great because it's just ticked

01:01:56.640 past nine. Zajuts149 says, Trump blinked when he joined Israel in the attack. Oof. Oof.

01:02:10.780 Yeah. All right, that's the show. It's just ticked two minutes past nine in the a.m. Greenwich.

01:02:16.480 Meantime, it is Tuesday, the 24th of March in the year of our Lord, 2026. You've been

01:02:19.920 the glorious band, the chosen few, my band of brothers and sisters, the very best among us.

01:02:25.040 try and make the best of the day ahead if you can i know it's not always easy sometimes you've got

01:02:28.600 to do boring things sometimes you've got to just sit at home and wait for uh an electrician dude

01:02:33.720 to turn up and you can't seize the day often you've just got to work haven't you you've just

01:02:38.660 got to sit at a desk and work and it's annoying that someone like me would say seize the day it's

01:02:42.800 like i can't i've got to earn money if you can copy diem if you can try and seize the day you

01:02:50.100 only have this day once in history once it's gone it's gone it's later than you think all right

01:02:53.840 Until tomorrow morning
