00:01:27.220 disembodied voice of the all-powerful all-knowing omnipresent omniscient producer there what would

00:01:33.360 little harry do that's what we must ask ourselves we are in his hands it's enough faffing about

00:01:38.760 isn't it quite enough fannying about oh one small correction not even a correction the other day

00:01:45.760 someone one of the super chatters said something about andy burnham being a goggle box a goggle

00:01:50.620 box prime minister i didn't know he's actually actually going to appear on goggle box i thought

00:01:56.580 it was just sort of a metaphor just sort of a euphemism that's not quite the right word uh i

00:02:01.260 just thought it's like a general description i thought it was quite good in and of itself

00:02:04.900 no it's literally actually actually on goggle box

00:02:07.360 all right let's have a look at what's in the news cycle this morning what's the legacy corporate

00:02:16.140 lamestream media banging on about this morning what are they lying to us about by mission what's

00:02:20.100 that cabal of evil quite frankly evil fleet street editors droning on about this morning

00:02:25.940 Is there going to be a story about the connection between Les Wexner,

00:02:29.560 Jeffrey Epstein and Ehud Barak and the Israeli Intelligence Services?

00:02:35.800 No.

00:02:37.180 No.

00:02:37.560 Hey, guys, remember, like every day, yeah,

00:02:40.340 don't talk about what Epstein really was.

00:02:43.780 Yeah, don't talk about that.

00:02:45.200 Yeah?

00:02:45.860 Just talk about football and stuff.

00:02:48.180 Just talk about Strictly Come Dancing and football and the weather.

00:02:51.700 Yeah?

00:02:52.280 Good.

00:02:52.940 Good boy.

00:02:54.080 Click.

00:02:55.000 all right what have we got england's golden boy kane harry kane the football player

00:03:02.060 yes the best player in the world last year they've decided and time to pay fair

00:03:08.880 just uh bankers that get gigantic bonuses may be stripped of that in some way by the budget

00:03:16.860 because it's budget day tomorrow big day tomorrow for the treasury

00:03:20.840 and for government well for the country really big day big day of course we won't be reporting

00:03:29.160 on it until thursday but it happens in the day tomorrow we'll talk all about it on thursday

00:03:35.540 there's still yet more loads and loads of speculation what's going to be in it

00:03:39.020 okay the times the venerable times dismay at two-day strike by senior doctors over

00:03:47.480 paid hours, not junior doctors, senior ones, consultants, the consultant class. They've

00:03:52.400 got a union, of course they have. Over 70% of them voted to do strike action later in

00:03:59.780 the year or early next year. Anyway, they say 40 hours a week is too much. Is it? Isn't

00:04:07.520 that par for the course? Isn't that pretty normal? Loads of people work significantly

00:04:11.920 more than 40 hours a week. I work more than 40 hours a week. They want to only do 30 hours

00:04:17.460 hours a week so that's a bit cheeky in my opinion although which I would side with them on this not

00:04:26.720 on the strike action but on this data point that they say over the last was it over the last 17

00:04:31.480 years they've received what is effectively in real terms a 25% pay cut well let's see NHS for

00:04:40.280 you it's completely unsustainable particularly it's unsustainable anyway might have made sense

00:04:45.940 in 1948 or something, even into the 60s, but not now, we've got a giant population, especially

00:04:52.780 not when you pump the country full of 10 to 20 million extra new people over the last

00:04:59.460 generation.

00:05:00.640 Of course, the numbers don't make sense, it doesn't add up, it's bankrupting the country,

00:05:04.240 in fact, it has already bankrupted the country, the NHS bill, but the senior consultants insist

00:05:10.520 they're working too hard, too long, and for not enough money.

00:05:15.940 all right well those people largely boomers not all boomers go-based boomers largely liberal

00:05:22.900 boomers who insist the nhs must survive as is we can't have it we can't have it every way

00:05:29.460 liberals you want to you don't want re-migration you don't want even a cap on migration you want

00:05:34.260 more safe and legal routes right if anything and you want the nhs to survive as it is free

00:05:39.140 at the point of views for everybody we can't have all those things you cannot have all those things

00:05:44.660 they're completely unsustainable and mutually exclusive all right there you go harry kane the

00:05:49.620 football player he got the balloon de ore which is the the award for being the best player in the

00:05:56.260 world first englishman to win it since michael owen in 2001 okay you don't care about sports

00:06:03.780 ball i'll move on chancellor to boost minimum wage by four percent such phabian champagne 0.98

00:06:12.500 socialist idiots aren't they but pay growth will slow for under 21 sure this is a classic thing 1.00

00:06:19.940 isn't it if you've ever had a conversation with a lefty even just a wishy-washy lefty just a 1.00

00:06:25.520 general purpose labor voter who hasn't done any real reading about socialism or marx marxist

00:06:31.520 then there's nothing but they're just a wishy-washy social uh labor voter or lib dem maybe

00:06:35.280 and the question at dinner party or a barbecue or something and the question of minimum wage comes up

00:06:42.500 And they just immediately say, yeah, minimum wage is good.

00:06:45.160 It should be higher, if anything.

00:06:46.880 Any argument to the contrary just means you love rich people

00:06:49.500 and hate poor people and you're evil if you don't agree with that.

00:06:53.880 Have you ever had this?

00:06:54.660 Have you ever experienced this?

00:06:57.820 You start trying to make the macroeconomic argument

00:07:01.720 that actually minimum wage is counterproductive.

00:07:03.840 Actually, it's really bad for the economy.

00:07:05.400 It's bad for people, bad for businesses.

00:07:08.300 Try to start making the argument

00:07:09.740 that if you force companies to have a minimum wage,

00:07:14.200 many of them whose margins are very, very, very tight

00:07:17.200 will just go out of business.

00:07:19.260 And then the person, the employee,

00:07:20.760 doesn't get any money then, do they?

00:07:23.140 They don't get any wage, minimum or otherwise, then, do they?

00:07:26.660 You start trying to make that argument.

00:07:28.820 You can see the lefties, their eyes glaze over.

00:07:31.520 You can see.

00:07:33.600 No, not listening.

00:07:34.660 La, la, la, la, la.

00:07:35.260 Minimum wage is good. 0.99

00:07:37.140 You're an evil, filthy capitalist if you say anything else. 0.99

00:07:39.740 Why do you love rich people so much? 0.99

00:07:48.580 Loads of businesses go out of,

00:07:51.080 loads of businesses collapse because of the minimum wage.

00:07:55.200 Because their margins were always tiny.

00:07:56.800 They just simply can't afford.

00:07:58.880 They just simply can't afford to pay the minimum wage.

00:08:02.700 What do you do then?

00:08:05.660 So in a socialist Fabian society,

00:08:07.600 what you just accept that all those businesses should fail by right should fail all right well

00:08:14.160 the economy suffers employees suffer there's less jobs

00:08:18.320 again it's actually quite straightforward isn't it i find it surprising that grown-up people who

00:08:27.980 in other ways are very can be very intelligent and knowledgeable and insightful they just fail

00:08:34.160 to understand that quite simple rule that minimum wage is a bad thing. They can't see

00:08:41.900 beyond the first hurdle of why do you want people to be poorer? Why do you hate poor

00:08:51.660 working class people? Why do you want them to have less money in their pockets? No, it's

00:08:55.060 not. There's something bigger going on than that. There's something a bit bigger. Can

00:08:59.300 look past that very first hurdle no no all right beans sell out this is baked beans tinned baked

00:09:09.380 beans in britain beans sell out as households heed advice to stock up yeah loads of normies

00:09:15.160 those of normie boomers if the legacy corporate mainstream media tell them something they go and

00:09:18.880 actually act on it that's why it's important it actually is important to know what the legacy

00:09:23.540 corporate mainstream media does and says you can pretend you're too cool for school pretend it's

00:09:28.420 all slop and you're above it all yeah good good one good job yeah actually it's important because

00:09:34.800 millions of people take it seriously so it's important then so do you remember a week ago

00:09:40.700 last week at some point the government said we're all preppers now go out make sure you've got a few

00:09:47.540 days worth of food a few liters of bottled water 72 hours worth of bottled water make sure you've

00:09:53.940 got a torch batteries toilet roll baby food if you've got a baby stock up on that we're preppers

00:10:00.540 now millions of normies did not everywhere in the country my local supermarkets seem to be

00:10:09.860 absolutely fine but in some places they've sold out beans baked beans and cover other products

00:10:15.640 only briefly at the moment there's no breakdown in supply chains so for now it's all right

00:10:23.280 I remember more than once

00:10:26.340 The legacy corporate lamestream media

00:10:27.720 Talked about how there might be

00:10:28.920 Just might be

00:10:29.660 Shortages of petrol

00:10:31.800 At the actual petrol pump

00:10:33.860 Queues around the block

00:10:37.400 Down the road

00:10:38.220 Of normies queuing up

00:10:39.800 To just fill up their car

00:10:41.120 They've got a jerry can or two in the boot

00:10:43.240 They're going to fill that up

00:10:44.240 Because all that matters is them

00:10:46.160 And it wasn't even

00:10:48.440 I remember it was in the early 2000s

00:10:50.480 For whatever reason

00:10:51.280 There was some sort of scare

00:10:52.060 And the sun

00:10:52.620 specifically the Sun newspaper had on its front page

00:10:54.920 petrol pumps to run out or something like that

00:10:57.160 that day

00:10:59.260 some petrol stations did run out

00:11:01.640 because loads of normies went and got everything they could

00:11:03.760 I remember when

00:11:05.420 the Covid lockdowns began

00:11:07.240 toilet paper

00:11:08.660 normies go out and buy all the toilet paper

00:11:12.240 I remember seeing

00:11:14.020 cleared shelves

00:11:15.220 some people, a lot of people

00:11:19.120 are extremely selfish like that

00:11:21.660 aren't they 0.99

00:11:22.620 Extremely.

00:11:24.740 Alright.

00:11:25.860 Loads of people went out and bought tins of baked beans

00:11:28.980 because they're essentially mindless.

00:11:31.500 They're not making decisions for themselves, are they, those people?

00:11:35.300 They see someone else,

00:11:37.140 daddy, their metaphorical daddy,

00:11:40.820 whether it's a newspaper or whatever,

00:11:43.860 tells them what's happening now,

00:11:45.340 tells them what to think and what to do now,

00:11:47.340 and they just go out and blindly do it.

00:11:49.620 That's the case for millions of people.

00:11:52.620 Sad, isn't it? Sad, isn't it?

00:11:54.820 Not making any sort of value judgement for themselves, any sort of decision.

00:11:58.820 There's no decision tree.

00:12:00.420 It's just, uh, the Times, or the Mail, or the Sun has said,

00:12:04.620 I've got to do something now, so I've got to best go do it.

00:12:07.620 West Streeting has said something, I've got to go do what he says. 1.00

00:12:13.620 Idiots. Idiots. 1.00

00:12:16.620 Catastrophically stupid people, aren't they? 1.00

00:12:22.620 Never, ever give up, not that many people watching the Bo Show would, because you're the gross man, the chosen few, but never, ever give up your own ability to make decisions, make judgment calls on what is or isn't right or true. Never, ever, never, ever outsource that to someone or something else. Never. It's one of the things that makes you human, isn't it? I think. 1.00

00:12:42.760 All right, we've got the Mirror, the Daily Mirror, Labour Party propaganda organ, something

00:12:50.620 about Matt Perry, not Admiral Matt Perry, who opened up Japan in the 19th century, but

00:12:57.260 Chandler and his sisters talking about his struggle with addiction.

00:13:02.080 He died too soon.

00:13:03.780 Rest in peace, Matt Perry.

00:13:08.300 Chandler was my favourite.

00:13:09.240 Actually, Charlie was usually my favourite.

00:13:12.500 As I got older, I decided Ross was the funniest one.

00:13:16.340 Anyway, all right.

00:13:17.380 Windfall budget, please.

00:13:18.500 See, the Mirror, if the Labour Party get their knickers in a twist about rich people and bonuses,

00:13:24.900 the Mirror just follows in lockstep.

00:13:26.600 Oh, the Labour Party's concerned about rich people getting even bigger bonuses today.

00:13:31.880 Oh, that's what we'll do then.

00:13:32.880 That's what we'll cover.

00:13:35.420 The Mirror, Pierslop.

00:13:36.200 They've managed for one day to put their Nigel derangement syndrome on the back burner for one day.

00:13:47.360 All right, this is just about how big bank bosses make gigantic bonuses.

00:13:53.420 I mean, they are gigantic. It is grotesque.

00:13:56.740 But that's it. That's how that works, isn't it?

00:13:58.740 Call to Chancellor as it's revealed bank chiefs make more than the average worker in two days

00:14:08.680 It's time to pay fair

00:14:11.800 Yeah look what's that

00:14:15.600 So the Barclays, one of the Barclays bosses made 15 million

00:14:18.780 Lloyds, one of them made 7.4 million

00:14:22.560 NatWest, 6.6 million

00:14:24.240 HSBC, 6.6 million

00:14:28.740 Well, that bank has got the money.

00:14:31.160 I'm not saying it's fair, by the way.

00:14:33.620 Have you said anything about fair?

00:14:36.240 I'm not saying it's fair, but when these people signed their contract to become an employee,

00:14:43.200 the company offered them these packages.

00:14:49.880 What are you going to do?

00:14:51.960 Because they hate the rich, don't they, the leftists?

00:14:53.800 They hate the rich.

00:14:55.000 It's the politics of resentment, isn't it, leftism?

00:14:57.400 it's not much more to it than that 0.99

00:15:00.060 it's dysgenic loser freaks 1.00

00:15:03.000 with a chip on their shoulder 0.99

00:15:04.140 that they're not the rich one

00:15:05.880 it's not much more to it than that

00:15:08.680 the psychology, the pathology of it

00:15:10.620 it really does boil down to that

00:15:12.720 most of the time, doesn't it 0.78

00:15:14.460 they're just butthurt

00:15:16.380 that it's not them making millions

00:15:17.780 so they must rip down those that do

00:15:19.640 okay

00:15:22.140 this generation of British leftists 0.98

00:15:26.720 They haven't got the balls to go full bore, like Lenin or Stalin or Mao or Kim Il-sung. 0.98

00:15:33.180 They're not going to do that, are they? 0.96

00:15:35.400 What they could do is bring in legislation, some law, some rules,

00:15:39.200 to just stop the guys at the very, very top of the capitalistic pyramid from getting giant bonuses.

00:15:44.580 Because they want to eat the rich, don't they?

00:15:47.200 Don't they? 0.87

00:15:48.160 They want to destroy the rich, like all leftists.

00:15:51.260 The politics of resentment.

00:15:52.660 they want to destroy the rich because they've got a chip on their shoulder that they're not rich.

00:16:00.120 I'm not rich. Lots of us aren't rich who aren't lefties, aren't we?

00:16:03.900 We don't see that as something that needs to be destroyed, as something to aspire to.

00:16:08.200 If I'm lucky and work very hard, maybe that might be me one day.

00:16:12.640 It's like seeing a guy with a brilliant physique, a massive upper body.

00:16:17.020 You don't think, oh, I hate that guy. Oh, screw him. He should be taken down a peg. 0.99

00:16:20.960 you think oh maybe if i work hard i could look like that one day very very different mindset 0.51

00:16:24.800 isn't it that's what lefties are dysgenic freaks people think i look like nosferatu you get a 0.54

00:16:32.080 load of that john healy john nosferatu healy evil little freak of a man all right the express 0.74

00:16:42.480 daily express it's a good paper you can read your express now

00:16:44.720 It's not a good paper, of course

00:16:49.480 It is globalist slop

00:16:51.140 That was sarcasm

00:16:52.100 That's an Alan Partridge line

00:16:54.020 It is pure globalist subversion

00:16:57.160 Pure slop

00:16:58.200 Even worse, really

00:17:00.240 Pretending that it's patriotic or nativist in some way

00:17:03.240 When they fell up against real patriots and nativists

00:17:07.320 Want to save our country from demographic decline

00:17:09.880 And demographic annihilation, ultimately 0.99

00:17:12.620 becoming a hated and marginalised minority in our one and only ancestral homeland along the way, 0.56

00:17:18.700 staring down the barrel of a sectarian bloodbath and nightmare along racial, religious, ethnic and

00:17:24.380 tribal lines. If you talk about that, what's needed to do to fix that, i.e. mass remigration,

00:17:30.740 then the Daily Express will try and character assassinate you, call you evil, call you vile, 1.00

00:17:37.520 all those things and yet it pretends that it's on our side it's not okay what's this nigel farage 0.90

00:17:45.740 rallying crier if brexit fight comes again hold my jacket okay mate all right how long is he going 0.59

00:17:54.620 to dine out on that for well forever isn't it forever charities urge government to set up a

00:18:00.580 fund to give families high quality support we need 200 million pounds a year to fix uh end of life

00:18:07.040 care it may be maybe they do is it sustainable though uh we need to flood the country with more 1.00

00:18:14.160 low-skilled foreign people to to be able to do the jobs in care homes and things won't they 1.00

00:18:20.800 themselves become old though and they'll bring in children a whole family won't they become old at 0.99

00:18:28.280 some point so how does that work how's that again sustainable just need to bring in millions of 0.87

00:18:35.320 indians and nigerians and things to be care home workers and nhs nurses uh won't they need the nhs 0.91

00:18:42.440 and care end of life care at some point what you're going to do then flood us with millions more 1.00

00:18:47.000 and round and round we go how is that good how does that work isn't that insane

00:18:55.640 yeah

00:18:55.960 All right. Jamie Oliver's wife said something. Don't care. The Guardian. Ew, the Guardian.

00:19:07.380 Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew. Stop, stop, stop, stop. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:19:12.940 Stop. Get some help. The Guardian. Absolute filth. Cynthia Everose said something. Don't 0.61

00:19:21.440 care spare me whatever she said don't care right cliff edge rule to be scrapped in wake of carers

00:19:30.900 allowance scandal so this is a story i wasn't really aware of this cliff edge thing until this

00:19:35.960 morning but apparently what it is is if you're an unpaid carer you care for someone in your family

00:19:41.200 but you know you're not it's not your profession um so you're unpaid but you do get certain benefits

00:19:47.520 from the state but you only get those benefits if you don't make a certain amount of money i.e

00:19:54.840 if you're already wealthy or rich the state won't give you much or any handouts if you if you're

00:20:01.280 below a certain threshold they will and this is the story about how if you cross that threshold

00:20:08.160 even by a tiny amount even by a few pence they it's the cliff edge and they just cut off all

00:20:12.960 your all your benefits from it and and and try and claw back spend a lot of time and energy

00:20:19.220 apparently trying to claw back anything that they decide you weren't um you weren't allowed to have

00:20:25.220 okay they're saying they're gonna they're gonna scrap that for for carers

00:20:32.340 i mean seems reasonable well i'm not for the welfare state at all really maybe not well not a

00:20:41.380 Zero. I'm not a libertarian. I've got libertarian leanings, I've said a number of times, haven't I?

00:20:49.100 Quite strong libertarian leanings, but I'm not a libertarian. I'm not for a zero state.

00:20:55.280 Zero state. Some people in society very much do need, and I think it is morally, ethically the right thing, to help them.

00:21:03.300 if the state has got enough resources and money

00:21:07.180 there's people with real, real, real, real disabilities

00:21:11.340 and real, real problems 1.00

00:21:12.540 they're going to just starve to death

00:21:15.620 on their living room floor

00:21:17.720 unless the state steps in

00:21:19.420 they're just going to die needlessly

00:21:22.320 unless the state steps in

00:21:23.740 okay, small amount of welfare then

00:21:26.200 small amount

00:21:26.860 alright, anyway, it's a giant subject, isn't it?

00:21:33.300 Pardon me.

00:21:35.700 Okay.

00:21:37.420 Lula.

00:21:38.500 Brazil.

00:21:39.340 Lula won.

00:21:42.200 Definitely wasn't rigged.

00:21:45.460 Definitely wasn't rigged.

00:21:46.840 There was just a swing between the first round of voting

00:21:50.820 and the second round of 11 million people.

00:21:53.680 There was just a swing of 11 million people,

00:21:55.920 and Lula defies history, defies the odds to beat Bolsonaro.

00:22:01.220 It's definitely legit.

00:22:03.300 The markets in Brazil reacting poorly, because it looks like it was rigged.

00:22:14.620 I don't know if it was, I wasn't there.

00:22:19.540 It kind of looks like that.

00:22:21.640 A swing of 11 million people, statistically unlikely, should we say that?

00:22:28.060 Can we say that?

00:22:29.060 We call it statistically unlikely.

00:22:32.260 a giant swing there you go the left steal another election this time in brazil again again

00:22:40.580 bolsonaro jr saying he doesn't accept it trump saying it was rigged trump trump just came out

00:22:45.620 in fact i think it was in the telegraph yeah yeah yeah here we go what is it

00:22:51.380 pardon me look there you go trump lula's brazil election was rigged there you go that's the

00:22:56.500 donald saying that president of the united states got access to military grade intelligence from

00:23:02.100 all around the world he says it's rigged all right the market is a the markets in

00:23:08.580 Brazil not acting not reacting well to that news 0.69

00:23:16.020 all right this Brazilian old boomer cheetah is the president again for now 0.54

00:23:25.020 they were celebrating quite literally celebrating in the favelas the pockets 0.72

00:23:30.660 Of complete lawlessness in Brazil

00:23:32.660 They liked it

00:23:33.860 Because he's a leftist and he's on their side

00:23:36.420 Effectively 0.80

00:23:37.340 Netanyahu 0.54

00:23:46.620 Push for pre-election Iran attack

00:23:48.900 So Israel goes to the polls 0.96

00:23:50.680 Today, I believe it is today 0.62

00:23:52.180 Well it is today

00:23:53.240 Israel's got a general election, a presidential election

00:23:56.820 Today 1.00

00:23:58.440 Bibi 0.60

00:23:59.780 is putting everything on the line 0.93

00:24:03.260 I think the polling I saw is that he's set to win

00:24:07.760 or it'll be close but he'll probably win

00:24:09.320 he might not but probably will

00:24:10.580 we'll see

00:24:12.540 I guess tomorrow

00:24:17.040 well tomorrow we should see 0.99

00:24:18.800 if Bibi remains

00:24:22.040 the leader of Israel

00:24:24.100 there was a push from sort of the more hawkish

00:24:26.560 more right wing of his party

00:24:28.120 and people in Israel saying

00:24:29.460 do a pre-election attack on Iran. 1.00

00:24:33.680 That will help you in the polls 0.75

00:24:35.640 with sort of the more patriotic, right-leaning Israelis.

00:24:43.320 Okay, we'll just wait for the result of that tomorrow.

00:24:45.880 The iPaper.

00:24:51.820 10 million benefits claimants to receive 3.5% rise in payments.

00:24:56.160 Governments spend 5.5 billion.

00:24:57.640 5.5 billion more than they already are on new measure which will be confirmed in tomorrow's

00:25:04.460 budget so the completely unsustainable welfare budget is to go up even more meanwhile more and

00:25:12.320 more and more legal migration let alone illegal migration i mean more illegal migration but

00:25:17.200 more and more legal migration oh can we even have a cap on it no bigot no nazi what's that

00:25:23.580 un-British politics of division

00:25:25.700 vile politics

00:25:26.660 must have more safe and legal roots 0.77

00:25:28.620 we must pack this country 1.00

00:25:30.100 with as many foreign people 1.00

00:25:32.220 as possible, as quickly as possible

00:25:34.560 and give them more and more and more benefits

00:25:36.560 anything less would be un-British

00:25:37.960 anything less would be morally reprehensible 0.95

00:25:40.880 evil

00:25:41.300 that's their argument isn't it

00:25:44.320 so okay, the completely unsustainable

00:25:47.040 welfare budget just keeps going up

00:25:48.800 and up and up

00:25:49.480 well done, okay

00:25:52.480 That's leftism for you, leftist economic theory for you.

00:25:56.680 Don't say you weren't warned

00:25:57.860 that you eventually run out of other people's money.

00:26:02.220 Once all the rich people have left, because they can,

00:26:05.520 all the middle class people have been bled dry,

00:26:08.660 they've been squeezed until the pips go squeak,

00:26:10.900 until they're poor, 0.92

00:26:12.600 then you squeeze the kulaks, 1.00

00:26:15.220 the working class people that have got anything at all, 1.00

00:26:17.160 and then no one's got anything,

00:26:18.340 and then you run out of money and people start starving to death.

00:26:21.640 Okay.

00:26:22.720 Oh, Bo, that's extreme.

00:26:23.620 That's unlikely.

00:26:24.320 What are you talking about?

00:26:25.080 That's an absurd thing to say.

00:26:26.540 No, it isn't.

00:26:27.100 That's what always happens.

00:26:30.200 No, that's what always happens. 0.89

00:26:32.800 Look at late stage Soviet era. 0.72

00:26:35.240 Look at the Great Leap Forward.

00:26:36.160 Look at Maoist era China.

00:26:37.840 Look at North Korea.

00:26:39.280 Look at Cuba.

00:26:40.140 Look at Venezuela.

00:26:41.160 And on and on and on and on.

00:26:42.260 That's what always happens.

00:26:43.680 Every single time, without fail,

00:26:45.360 if they're left long enough,

00:26:46.400 if the leftists are left long enough.

00:26:49.340 They eat the rich.

00:26:50.860 They destroy the middle class.

00:26:52.960 They're more gleeful about destroying the middle class,

00:26:54.900 the bourgeoisie, if anything.

00:26:56.340 They love that. 0.98

00:26:57.980 And then on to the working class and the kulaks 1.00

00:26:59.820 until there's nothing left. 1.00

00:27:01.500 Nothing.

00:27:03.620 Really nothing.

00:27:05.040 Until people are starving.

00:27:08.240 Don't know how many times it needs to be done.

00:27:10.340 Don't know how many times that experiment needs to play out.

00:27:15.460 Okay.

00:27:16.800 3.5% more for 10 million benefits claimants.

00:27:20.400 whilst packing the country full of new people.

00:27:23.700 Mad. We must be mad. Literally mad. 1.00

00:27:29.600 Cabinet anger after no sternum burnham opens door to EU free movement.

00:27:33.920 He hasn't actually done it yet. He's just talking about it.

00:27:36.440 Let's read the blurb.

00:27:37.700 Andy Burnham sparks cabinet backlash after calling for a debate

00:27:40.700 about a return to freedom of movement with the European Union,

00:27:43.740 leaving some senior ministers angry at being blindsided.

00:27:47.000 Yeah, he's just started talking about it, just started doing it without...

00:27:49.780 apparently, without extensive cabinet discussion.

00:27:55.780 Labour Insider says Home Secretary Shibana Mahmood,

00:27:59.760 the Pakistani woman, bizarrely finds herself laughing as the Home Secretary,

00:28:03.100 is furious, quote, furious at receiving no warning of comments

00:28:06.800 while a government source suggests they, quote,

00:28:09.020 undermine, quote, her immigration strategy.

00:28:11.820 Her immigration strategy doesn't got an immigration strategy, 1.00

00:28:14.440 or rather she has, and it is to kick the can down the road, 1.00

00:28:18.320 throw out a bit of red meat from time to time,

00:28:19.780 but essentially still keep the borders open. 0.99

00:28:21.600 Well, that strategy.

00:28:24.240 Is she furious?

00:28:25.480 Does it undermine her strategy?

00:28:27.540 Doesn't really, does it?

00:28:28.620 Helps her strategy, ultimately. 1.00

00:28:30.580 Her ultimate goal is to pack as many foreign people 1.00

00:28:33.120 as quickly as possible into this country 1.00

00:28:34.600 to destroy our demographic, 0.99

00:28:36.820 to destroy us as a people.

00:28:39.760 Doesn't undermine that strategy, does it?

00:28:41.900 It helps it. 1.00

00:28:43.720 She's going to pretend to be furious.

00:28:46.980 Okay, okay.

00:28:48.180 Prime Minister said in a television interview

00:28:51.200 That he wanted an honest account

00:28:54.360 Of the choices available to the UK

00:28:56.700 And he would like to see Britain rejoin the EU in his lifetime

00:29:00.440 That's Andy Burnham's shtick, isn't it?

00:29:04.240 Going to be honest, have serious honest conversations

00:29:06.900 And I'm listening, I'm the guy that listens

00:29:09.220 Meanwhile, it's all theatre, isn't it?

00:29:12.460 Meanwhile, it's a sort of champagne socialist

00:29:15.620 1980 student activist mindset

00:29:18.420 Fabian agenda

00:29:20.420 as quickly and as hard as possible 0.96

00:29:22.120 but he's listening, he's going to have

00:29:23.860 an honest conversation

00:29:25.880 and he's listening, yeah right

00:29:27.760 yeah right

00:29:29.120 Burnham also appeared to suggest a referendum

00:29:32.300 on freedom of movement

00:29:33.460 triggering concern with

00:29:35.760 some cabinet members

00:29:37.120 but number 10

00:29:40.120 yesterday backtracked

00:29:42.160 and said process was not agreed

00:29:43.940 intervention adds to tensions over reconciling tougher border controls with closer ties to the

00:29:51.480 eu it's very small there for me my eyeballs um okay okay basically basically he said a few

00:30:00.880 a few things about rejoining the eu and the freedom of movement and then there was like

00:30:06.260 a political backlash it obviously didn't poll very well amongst the average person

00:30:09.700 so he's had to backtrack it a bit or rather the team around him at number 10

00:30:14.060 have had to backtrack it a bit and say oh we're not going to do it anytime soon

00:30:17.400 though and we would do we would do a referendum before anything like that

00:30:21.160 anyway I wouldn't personally I wouldn't worry too much because even with the

00:30:26.680 best will in the world I think I think what I'm about to say might age badly

00:30:30.080 and prove to be wrong I don't think so but it might do I don't think there's

00:30:33.940 enough time between now and even if no stone and burnham leaves the next general

00:30:37.740 election for as long as possible to what 2029 is it even if he left it to the last moment

00:30:43.100 i don't think there's enough time to sort of rejoin the eu

00:30:48.840 there'll be a long drawn-out process i would have thought particularly if there was going

00:30:57.100 to be a referendum in between if labor win the next general election he brings out a manifesto

00:31:03.520 saying he means to do that and then wins well that's a different story at that point

00:31:07.720 But right now, right now, I'm not imminently concerned

00:31:11.340 that any of this is actually going to happen, personally.

00:31:14.180 As I say, that take could prove disastrously wrong

00:31:16.660 and they start doing it next week and it's a fait accompli in six months' time.

00:31:21.100 Who knows?

00:31:22.660 All right, the Independent, there you go, Lula.

00:31:26.780 Lula definitely legitimately got a swing of 11 million people

00:31:30.460 in the space of two or three weeks and is the legit leader of Brazil again, yeah.

00:31:35.260 Lula triumphs over far-right

00:31:37.280 to win historic fourth term in Brazil.

00:31:41.860 Is Bolsonaro Jr. the far-right?

00:31:44.560 It's not easy.

00:31:45.620 The far-right.

00:31:49.820 Vernon blames Brexit for small boats crisis.

00:31:52.740 Get a load of this double-think of this absurdity.

00:31:55.520 The UK has weaker control over immigration

00:31:57.900 since leaving European Union,

00:31:59.880 Wilma's Prime Minister.

00:32:02.040 What bizarre nonsense. 0.95

00:32:03.080 what liars as he says he wants to rejoin in his lifetime but rules out returning uh to free 0.94

00:32:10.320 movement without another referendum he was forced to walk that back because people didn't go down

00:32:14.780 well people didn't like that the idea that he was just going to unilaterally do that

00:32:17.840 okay leaving the european union it makes uh britain's control over immigration weaker

00:32:26.700 Does it? Does it? Of course it doesn't

00:32:30.720 That was one of the things why we wanted to, many people wanted to leave the EU

00:32:34.480 Because we were forced by European courts and European legislation to open our borders 0.93

00:32:39.740 Classic, just classic leftist liars

00:32:44.060 The complete inversion of the truth 0.97

00:32:46.500 The complete 180 perversion of the truth

00:32:50.000 Leaving the EU makes immigration control weaker

00:32:54.820 of course it does it's like saying eating loads and loads of pie and chocolate and drinking loads

00:33:02.760 of beer makes you thinner no of course it doesn't no no no no no why are you talking to me like you 0.99

00:33:08.660 think i'm an idiot why why are you doing that okay the daily fail pure globally slop like the rest 0.99

00:33:18.340 of them like the express tries to pretend it's not tries to wear the skin suit of something that's 1.00

00:33:22.000 Right of centre and nativist and patriotic.

00:33:24.300 It's not.

00:33:24.980 It's as subversive and globalist as all the others.

00:33:27.220 Look, there's Harry Kane, the footballer. 0.72

00:33:28.840 And I guess he's Mrs.

00:33:30.420 He won an award.

00:33:31.720 PM's new foot-in-mouth Brexit blunder.

00:33:35.180 Two weeks after climb-down over Russia and the referendum,

00:33:37.840 number 10 spokesman has to row back on PM's freedom of movement comments.

00:33:43.000 All right, we've talked about that just now.

00:33:44.680 Same thing.

00:33:46.040 All right, the Telegraph. 0.99

00:33:47.140 German-owned Zionist slop. 0.95

00:34:04.840 as a mid-century

00:34:07.020 German national socialist

00:34:08.880 that's what the Telegraph is

00:34:10.460 that's who they really are

00:34:11.680 in the final reckoning

00:34:12.920 that's what it is

00:34:13.920 the Telegraph

00:34:18.200 anti-British 0.99

00:34:19.080 they want this country

00:34:21.000 destroyed

00:34:22.520 what other conclusion can you come to seeing the op-eds by the type the likes of Alastair Heath

00:34:28.600 that's exactly what they argue someone like Rupert Lohan Restore and Charlie Downs

00:34:33.640 are concerned about the demographic decline remember demographics are destiny concerned

00:34:38.680 that we're being flooded by the third world thus becoming the third world concerned that we'll

00:34:43.560 become a hated and marginalized minority in our one and only ancestral homeland

00:34:47.080 well alistair heath and the daily telegraph will ruin you if you talk like that

00:34:54.120 that's what the telegraph is okay there's nosferatu sorry the chance of the exchequer

00:35:00.120 looking all smiles because he's got all the answers is he an economist no he's not an economist

00:35:06.600 why on earth you would ever allow someone to be chancellor of the exchequer who hasn't at least

00:35:11.480 got some sort of background in

00:35:13.440 economics. Mad. 0.97

00:35:16.000 Mad, isn't it? 0.98

00:35:25.280 Now you're suddenly the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

00:35:28.120 Always thought that was weird.

00:35:29.300 Ever since I was old enough to understand that. I don't know, 13,

00:35:31.500 14, 15 years old. That they take 0.96

00:35:33.460 the same person, the same minister and move them

00:35:35.280 between departments.

00:35:37.240 One minute you're the Health Minister, the next minute

00:35:39.320 you're the Education Minister. Wait.

00:35:41.480 Oh, so they're an expert in both those things.

00:35:43.780 No, they're not an expert in either of those things.

00:35:47.100 Huh.

00:35:48.700 Okay.

00:35:58.480 Says traitor Ben Wallace.

00:36:00.380 So Ben Wallace, the Tory, claims military budget inflated to appear on calls for NATO target.

00:36:06.380 May well be right. May well be right.

00:36:07.900 that's one of the main jobs of government these days it seems isn't it or rather perhaps it's a

00:36:14.540 story as old as time just fudging the figures deciding you're going to calculate the figures

00:36:20.380 in a slightly different way to make it appear better than it really is

00:36:23.260 yeah that's what they do

00:38:52.460 the metro this morning there you go it's lying by omission isn't it there are far more actually

00:38:59.260 actually important stories in the world to bring people but no chris brown left court after being

00:39:06.380 spared jail with a mask on and that's the most important thing in the world according to the

00:39:12.380 editors at the Metro. Right. Pardon me. Sharon Osbourne reveals Ozzy's last moments. Well,

00:39:21.880 of course she does, because she's a narcissist, a disgusting, morally bankrupt narcissist. Look 1.00

00:39:28.120 at the state of that. Look at the state of it. Sharon Osbourne, what a revolting specimen.

00:39:34.880 in. Liz Truss in New Era Error. Liz Leafs Daily Star out of her book, rehashing the 1.00

00:39:46.120 letters thing. Nonsense. Nonsense. Okay, that's it. That's it. The increasingly absurd and

00:39:53.780 infuriating front pages of the British print media this morning. It's already 22. There

00:40:00.140 was one story that didn't make it onto the front pages, which I thought was interesting.

00:40:04.740 Tickled my fancy.

00:40:06.940 Get a load of this.

00:40:09.720 James Comey.

00:40:12.360 Old Jimbo.

00:40:14.620 Jimmy Boy over at the FBI.

00:40:16.640 Or was over.

00:40:17.260 Used to be at the FBI.

00:40:19.340 More charges.

00:40:21.040 Ex-FBI Chief Comey faces federal charges for third time.

00:40:24.920 Remember this guy?

00:40:25.660 Anyone remember this guy?

00:40:26.620 Anybody?

00:40:27.400 Mueller?

00:40:28.280 Mueller?

00:40:30.200 James Comey is in yet more hot water.

00:40:33.960 They haven't said exactly what the new charges are,

00:40:36.820 but it's thought that they're in connection, again,

00:40:39.400 with sort of the 2016, the first Trump win,

00:40:42.980 that when he was head of the FBI,

00:40:44.640 he was basically just working on behalf of the Clinton campaign

00:40:50.060 and the Democrat Party.

00:40:51.880 The head of the FBI, a complete political partisan, it seems.

00:40:57.380 Allegedly, he hasn't been found guilty in court yet.

00:40:59.960 James Comey 1.00

00:41:02.280 An utter, utter scumbag 1.00

00:41:04.940 I hope he goes to prison for the rest of his life 1.00

00:41:08.520 Whether he will, who knows 0.74

00:41:09.520 I absolutely hope they throw him in a federal prison

00:41:12.880 For the rest of his natural life 0.50

00:41:14.620 What a dereliction of duty that is

00:41:18.040 You're the head of the FBI

00:41:19.960 And you're just a pure political partisan

00:41:23.620 Even if it was the other way round

00:41:26.980 I'd be saying the same thing

00:41:27.880 if it was the other way around

00:41:30.000 for the Republican Party

00:41:30.860 I'd be saying the same thing

00:41:31.700 surely it's part of your job

00:41:33.420 well not surely

00:41:33.760 it is part of your job

00:41:34.940 to be politically neutral

00:41:36.440 at least

00:41:37.420 at least pretend to be

00:41:39.600 but he was actively

00:41:41.300 undermining Trump

00:41:42.200 wasn't he

00:41:42.760 and the Republicans

00:41:43.980 actively putting out 0.68

00:41:45.880 liars and misinformation

00:41:46.700 about all sorts of things 0.90

00:41:47.820 trying to undermine Trump

00:41:49.260 and get Hillary Clinton

00:41:50.220 to win that election 1.00

00:41:51.180 filth

00:41:52.380 filth 0.97

00:41:53.980 James Comey

00:41:56.980 okay

00:41:57.460 let's look at our poll we do the poll this time of the show don't we let's have a look harry you

00:42:02.880 need to bring that on the on the screen for me if you wouldn't mind okay ticking up over 1100 votes

00:42:08.340 probably be 1200 votes in a moment this morning we asked you guys are you optimistic about what's

00:42:15.020 going to be in the budget tomorrow not all of you are british so but anyway um and the no's have it

00:42:22.840 to the tune of a cool 90%

00:42:25.260 3% say yes

00:42:27.260 probably misclicks and or

00:42:29.420 trolls there

00:42:30.560 and 0.75

00:42:33.280 7% say don't care

00:42:35.620 I guess you're either

00:42:36.960 foreign or you're so rich 1.00

00:42:39.360 that it doesn't matter what

00:42:41.220 Healy does, I don't know, anyway

00:42:43.100 7% said don't care, 3%

00:42:45.540 incorrectly said yes

00:42:47.260 and the rest of you

00:42:49.220 the glorious band have chosen for you, my band of brothers and sisters

00:42:51.060 my people

00:42:51.580 said no, it's probably not going to be good, is it? Probably not.

00:42:58.180 Probably going to be just complete leftist economics from wall to wall, bankrupting

00:43:03.420 our country even further, even quicker, isn't it? It's going to be more tax and spend, isn't

00:43:08.620 it? Because leftists don't know anything else. Well, they pretend they don't know anything 0.93

00:43:14.460 else, but they certainly wouldn't do anything else. Just tax and spend, tax and spend, tax

00:43:18.440 and spend until there's nothing left it's pretty simple isn't it you can boil it down to that

00:43:24.100 just tax and spend until everyone is poor until the treasury itself is empty until people are

00:43:36.720 starving to death okay let's look at on this day in history let's look at that bit start

00:43:43.680 rounding out the show i like that bit you guys seem to like that bit on this day in history

00:43:47.260 what happened of note down through the centuries nay the millennia october the 27th what happened

00:43:50.940 let's have a look see okay oh vision of the cross this is right up my alley in the on this day in

00:43:57.340 the year 312 ad robert emperor constantine the first constantine the great is said to have

00:44:03.740 uh received his famous vision of the cross do you think

00:44:08.780 the onloadseaters.com the website where there's my show bow days epochs my history thing show

00:44:17.960 behind the paywall consider sign up for this five pound a month bronze team membership

00:44:21.240 i think i took all about the uh career and life and times and reign of constantine yeah

00:44:26.820 yeah was it for how many parts was a constantine harry was it three four five parts six parts

00:44:32.580 yeah it was a lot that's a small audiobook level of detail quoting largely from edward gibbon's

00:44:40.660 the decline and fall of the roman empire in my opinion the gold standard uh historical account

00:44:45.080 of the decline and fall of the roman empire quoting heavily from edward gibbon telling you

00:44:50.220 all about hours worth they're all it's all long form each episode's got an hour an hour and a half

00:44:54.520 there's what four five six of them i can't remember now do you think i talk all about that

00:44:59.700 yeah so what is it well before constant time became the sole emperor of the roman world

00:45:07.740 there was a system in place called the tetrarchy the rule of four four emperors diocletian brought

00:45:12.960 that in i think i've got long form content all about diocletian and the tetrarchy yep um constant

00:45:18.580 time in the generation later decided he should really be he should probably really be the sole

00:45:23.040 Roman Emperor. There can be only one MacLeod. Well, that process took 20 years plus to do

00:45:31.300 that. He started off in Britain. He was proclaimed Emperor Caesar in Britain, in York, in Boricum,

00:45:40.900 and then took over large parts of Gaul, and then defeated his own father-in-law, Maximian,

00:45:47.880 then defeated Maxentius the Roman Emperor in Italy

00:45:52.100 and then went on to take on the Eastern Roman world

00:45:55.100 and eventually won it all and became the sole Roman Emperor

00:45:57.880 but during that process

00:45:59.520 the bit where I just mentioned there

00:46:00.940 where he took on the other Roman Emperor in the West

00:46:03.700 the Emperor who was Emperor of Italy

00:46:05.640 and sort of the Balkans in Greece

00:46:09.140 parts of North Africa

00:46:10.680 many Mediterranean islands

00:46:12.700 that Emperor Maxentius

00:46:16.020 is it? Wait a minute

00:46:17.880 or is it yeah yeah yeah yeah maxentius i think there's loads of m's in that period there's

00:46:25.180 maximin maxentius is it maxentius it was only a few weeks ago i did it and i've read about

00:46:32.880 it dozens of times i think it was anyway the roman emperor in fact i wonder if they even

00:46:38.640 have it here it's a battle of the milvian bridge battle of the milvian bridge does it say

00:46:44.880 I'm not sure it does. Anyway, the big decisive battle of Constantine's Gallic forces, British and

00:46:55.580 Gallic Roman legions, take on the emperor in Rome. Is it Maxentius? Actually, Harry, type in for me

00:47:03.140 the Battle of the Milvian Bridge. Would you mind while I'm talking? The Battle of the Milvian

00:47:10.000 Bridge, and that's a bridge over the Tiber near Rome, where there's a big decisive battle between

00:47:15.340 the forces of Constantine and, is it Maxentius? And Constantine wins, of course. Constantine

00:47:21.640 wins. Okay, there we go. Is it Maxentius? Yes. He defeats Maxentius at the Battle of the Milvian

00:47:33.980 bridge and that is really where Constantine goes from just one more Roman Emperor in the crisis of

00:47:41.820 the third century or just after the crisis of the second century just one more Roman Emperor to being

00:47:49.180 something a bit bigger than that bit more than that a figure that would sort of tower over history

00:47:55.260 like augustus or george washington or something alexander caesar the battle of the milvian bridge

00:48:06.160 a massive turning point in late antiquity um and and the day before that battle he said

00:48:15.200 constantine said that he saw in the sky a cross a christian cross because christianity is of course

00:48:22.360 already 300 odd years old a little less um but it wasn't sort of the formal the formal soul religion

00:48:30.440 of the roman empire but constantine even at that point was uh an adherent on some level

00:48:37.240 to christianity it seems like actually he was a devotee of the the cult of apollo but in those

00:48:43.160 early days the cult of various pagan cults and christianity were it was a gray thing it's really

00:48:49.880 really gray they crossed over in various ways you could it is complicated you could be an adherent

00:48:55.080 to um so the cult of um minerva or apollo or um various other things and and also be a christian

00:49:05.480 vaguely it's a complicated story anyway constantine at least at this stage of his life was somewhere

00:49:13.080 between pagan and christian and anyway the day before the battle of the milvian bridge he says

00:49:19.000 he saw in the sky in fact look here's a famous painting if you can see that he

00:49:23.560 saw the clouds parted and there was a cross in the sky

00:49:28.120 and he decided that that would that meant that was a portent meaning that he would definitely win

00:49:33.240 the battle the next day which he did do whether he really saw that

00:49:40.120 whether it's a fact made up long after the fact by christian chroniclers and historians

00:49:45.720 and not only didn't he see it he didn't even claim to see it but nonetheless that's the story

00:49:51.420 that comes down to us through history well i'll have to stop i could go on and on and on about

00:49:55.920 constantine the great fascinating absolutely fascinating brilliant little bit of history

00:49:59.940 there the age the the life and adventures of constantine uh should really should really learn

00:50:07.180 about it it's pivotal it's absolutely pivotal to western history if nothing else okay move on

00:50:12.740 Moving on. On this day, in 1795, Pickney's Treaty, the Treaty of San Lorenzo, is signed by Spain and the U.S. establishing the southern boundary of the U.S. and giving Americans the right to navigate the Mississippi River.

00:50:25.480 even long after that

00:50:28.440 Spain claimed

00:50:29.460 they sort of owned Florida

00:50:31.820 they still had claims on it

00:50:33.580 I mean even much later that

00:50:36.300 into the 19th century

00:50:37.320 Spain they couldn't really do anything about it

00:50:40.140 but they would say they had claims

00:50:42.160 on various parts of what is today

00:50:44.360 the United States

00:50:45.460 but the Spanish Empire by the late

00:50:48.400 18th century, early 19th century

00:50:50.080 there's no way they're

00:50:52.440 sending over powerful expeditions

00:50:54.360 to the new world and taking by force by main force anything off of the 13 colonies let alone

00:51:01.560 the united states it's not on the cards for them they're going to lose all their new world

00:51:08.840 possessions anyway they couldn't even hold on to mexico even if they wanted to let alone florida

00:51:14.440 all right moving on there was a factoid was it yesterday was it at the end of last week talking

00:51:20.120 about the cuban missile crisis which lasted for a few days a week or two in 1962 so on this day 1962

00:51:27.000 black saturday during the cuban missile crisis an american spy plane is shot down over cuba

00:51:32.040 and navy drops the u.s navy drops warning depth charges on soviet submarines so this is probably

00:51:37.480 you're starting to say the the the the worst part of the cuban missile crisis when lots of lots of

00:51:43.880 people including jack and bobby kennedy themselves thought this might be it this might be it khrushchev

00:51:50.040 is going to force us into a full nuclear exchange.

00:51:57.960 Kennedy had already gone on TV, done an address to the people

00:52:00.840 showing that photograph, saying,

00:52:02.360 look, there are Soviet medium-range ballistic missiles in Cuba.

00:52:07.200 And if Khrushchev and the Soviets don't change that,

00:52:11.100 quick smart, it's going to have to be World War III, I'm afraid. 0.95

00:52:15.140 And they meant it. JFK meant it.

00:52:17.520 he really did mean it

00:52:20.820 and anyway

00:52:23.120 Khrushchev didn't immediately

00:52:24.640 change course

00:52:26.260 in fact on that day, Black Saturday

00:52:28.740 he sent two contradictory

00:52:31.340 messages to

00:52:32.660 John Kennedy

00:52:34.740 one being a bit more dovish

00:52:37.140 and one quite hawkish

00:52:38.200 and on that day as a U-2, an American U-2

00:52:41.380 spy plane was shot down over Cuba

00:52:43.000 by Soviet missiles

00:52:44.640 killing the pilot

00:52:49.300 and the US Navy

00:52:52.420 there was a Soviet flotilla

00:52:54.480 sailing towards Cuba

00:52:56.600 with more men

00:52:58.500 well more material and missiles on board

00:53:00.380 and the US Navy was going to intercept it

00:53:03.200 it dropped depth charges

00:53:07.100 on Soviet submarines

00:53:09.080 apparently they weren't

00:53:11.260 to actually try and

00:53:12.020 Pardon me. They weren't actually to try and blow up the nuclear Soviet submarines.

00:53:19.020 They were just a signal. But they didn't know that. The Soviet subs didn't know that.

00:53:24.020 One of the Soviet sub-captains was going to launch his missiles.

00:53:30.020 Came very, very close. Moments away from doing that. Apparently. Moments away.

00:53:35.020 And his second in command said, no wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:53:39.020 hold off for the moment there's no need to actually launch world war three unless we absolutely have to

00:53:50.860 okay there's lots more to that look up the cuban missile crisis in your own time if

00:53:55.260 that tickles your fancy i think it's absolutely fascinating the closest we've ever come to armageddon

00:53:59.500 I do apologise for my coughing

00:54:05.200 Okay

00:54:05.660 On this day in 1982

00:54:08.260 China announces its population

00:54:09.960 Has exceeded 1 billion people

00:54:11.700 Ah I think we're only 1 billion people now

00:54:17.500 On this day in 1986

00:54:20.760 British government deregulates

00:54:22.340 Financial markets

00:54:23.380 In a big bang

00:54:25.120 Quote unquote big bang

00:54:26.840 Enhancing London's status as a financial capital

00:54:33.240 And increasing income inequality

00:54:36.360 This is a bit of a lefty sight, isn't it?

00:54:46.200 He actually unleashed a financial boom

00:54:49.280 We came out of the financial bust of the 70s

00:54:54.180 and before the financial recession of the 90s,

00:55:02.520 Maggie Thatcher allowing the money to flow, 0.90

00:55:05.300 allow the spice to flow through London.

00:55:09.880 But apparently, according to this website,

00:55:11.820 on this day in history,

00:55:12.900 the main thing they've decided to characterise it by

00:55:15.020 is that it increased income inequality.

00:55:18.760 Not that there was a financial boom.

00:55:21.200 Loads of average people,

00:55:22.660 the standard of living went up for a great deal,

00:55:28.500 a great many of people in the 1980s.

00:55:30.400 The famous financial boom of the 80s.

00:55:33.240 Okay, all right.

00:55:34.880 Income inequality.

00:55:35.940 Okay, all right. 0.52

00:55:36.600 If you want to measure it that way, fine.

00:55:40.240 All right.

00:55:46.520 All right, let's have a look at our Rumba Ransom Chats.

00:55:48.600 Let me do this with the left-hand side of my screen.

00:55:50.080 um global church history tweeted at me this morning saying sorry he's not gonna do uh rumble

00:55:55.900 rants for a while so i shan't be sitting here every morning hoping um he'll be back though

00:56:02.800 years back i mean i think he's in the chat as a as a mod this morning so it's not that he's not

00:56:07.440 these disappeared okay what have we got then let's have a look that's their name is in at number one

00:56:14.760 who says, evening, in the last three weeks, I've lost 11 pounds, 256, I've lost 111 pounds

00:56:28.840 in weight, have you? And then you've put 256 pounds.

00:56:35.240 if that's right that's remarkable in three weeks okay all right you put back to comparing the

00:56:47.260 elizabethan age and the the senjoku sen goku jedi the first unifier

00:56:55.200 Oda Nobunaga

00:56:59.640 Butchering that pronunciation, aren't I?

00:57:04.340 Died between Drake's circumnavigation and the Armada

00:57:07.280 What, like the 1580s then?

00:57:13.440 Drake got back from his circumnavigation

00:57:15.920 I've got long-form content all about Drake

00:57:18.060 An eight-part series, I think

00:57:19.120 Or was it ten-part series?

00:57:21.000 On my other channel, History Bro

00:57:22.040 All about Drake and his circumnavigation

00:57:24.780 and the other adventures of Sir Francis Drake.

00:57:27.640 I believe he returned from his circumnavigation in about 1580,

00:57:31.340 and the Armada is famously 1588.

00:57:34.180 The last epochs episode, was it episode 286 or something?

00:57:40.660 Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours without exaggeration.

00:57:44.500 A body of work built up over more than five years.

00:57:46.120 The last one, last Sunday, was the Spanish Armada, famously 1588.

00:57:50.760 So between 1580 and 1588, you're saying,

00:57:52.620 he said you've lost 111 pounds in three weeks that's remarkable be careful i believe that sort

00:58:01.100 of thing can put a strain on your system quite badly if it's that quick anyway well done i

00:58:08.720 suppose though well no not i suppose definitely well done sounds like you were too heavy then 0.99

00:58:14.860 so good brilliant brilliant congrats all right next one is belgians are evil trust me says 1.00

00:58:21.080 Please start paying child support for That's Their Name, Beau. 1.00

00:58:26.920 I am well off, but you and I created him.

00:58:32.040 Once again, I am the cultural zeitgeist of Breakfast with Beau,

00:58:36.000 e.g. Frisians, Fleemouth Flatulence and Belgium.

00:58:41.880 Belgium's Evil, trust me, is the cultural zeitgeist of this show. 0.96

00:58:46.440 Fair enough. 0.99

00:58:48.020 I don't know, the self-proclaimed cultural zeitgeist,

00:58:50.720 but i'll allow it i've just greenlit that

00:58:52.800 we've got to pay child support for that's their name 0.94

00:58:58.060 very amusing okay the next one the next two the next two are also belgians are evil trust me 1.00

00:59:04.660 that's their name belgians are evil trust me they've written agree and disagree about beans 0.99

00:59:09.680 quote stockpiling yes gullible mainstream media viewers but stockpiling uh stock stockpiling 0.95

00:59:16.940 good maybe meant food there as government and companies often hate you especially if you are

00:59:22.160 white also give them a little profit as little profit as possible uh yeah i'm yeah let's make

00:59:28.440 it clear i'm not i'm absolutely not against the idea of having um a small or a stockpile of food

00:59:34.580 yeah i'm not again i'm not anti prepping at all i've watched loads and loads and loads of content

00:59:41.100 about prepping in my time loads too much really maybe not too much could there be too much no i'm

00:59:48.060 sort of pro uh prepping i'm pro prepping my concern my my annoyance concern whatever you

00:59:54.420 might say is that coming from the likes of wes streeting and no stern and burnham and just for

01:00:02.300 three days the absurdity of that but the concept the concept of prepping is a sound one isn't it

01:00:09.700 Why not? It's just a prudent thing to do, isn't it?

01:00:13.380 Yeah, sure.

01:00:14.520 OK, the next one is Belgium's people trust me again.

01:00:16.440 It says, me equals half Dutch, but low Saxon Dutch.

01:00:21.880 Not to be confused with Frisian.

01:00:24.680 You put half British stroke Irish.

01:00:27.300 And then you put Netherlands, second world's biggest food exporter,

01:00:32.500 with same population density as England.

01:00:34.960 UK imports half its food, very dangerous during crisis.

01:00:38.500 It's bad. Yeah, you're absolutely right. A country that imports anything like half of its food is in a precarious situation, should there be systems collapse or merely supply chain breakdown. Yeah, you're in an extremely serious situation very, very quickly. Well, immediately, in fact.

01:00:57.620 yeah

01:01:00.640 I've got an affinity with the Dutch

01:01:03.780 I feel like the Dutch

01:01:05.220 with the exception of maybe the Scots

01:01:07.020 the Welsh and the Irish 0.97

01:01:08.060 the Dutch are the closest thing 1.00

01:01:09.580 to an Englishman 1.00

01:01:10.780 they're very very very similar

01:01:12.400 in all sorts of ways

01:01:13.280 in many many ways

01:01:15.920 just out of interest 0.96

01:01:18.240 Belgium's evil 0.99

01:01:18.800 trust me 1.00

01:01:19.240 do you know that on Epochs

01:01:20.420 I've got a long form bit of content

01:01:22.120 all about the Anglo-Dutch wars

01:01:23.340 of the 17th century

01:01:24.460 you might be interested in that

01:01:25.680 Okay

01:01:27.580 Merrick Mel says

01:01:31.480 Unpopular opinion

01:01:32.620 Semicolon

01:01:34.100 EU free movement nearly shut down non-EU migration

01:01:38.000 EU migrants were often temporary workers

01:01:40.400 Who returned home

01:01:41.260 But after Brexit non-EU migrants came to settle permanently 1.00

01:01:44.480 I mean most of that is true 1.00

01:01:46.020 Basically true yeah yeah yeah 0.88

01:01:47.040 A lot of EU migrants

01:01:49.020 A lot of them not all of them though 0.93

01:01:50.400 A fair amount of them would go home

01:01:52.940 Eventually but not all of them though 0.94

01:01:55.220 Now, we're near all of them. It is fair to say that as a percentage, more non-EU migrants go home less. 0.99

01:02:04.820 That's fair to say. But the idea that, like, the majority or most of EU migration, they end up eventually going back to their countries of origin, no.

01:02:15.860 And either way, the Boris waves or the various waves of non-EU migrants that come here to settle permanently, well, that's certainly true.

01:02:25.220 It's horrible, isn't it? Either way. Either way. 0.97

01:02:30.680 Clear them out. That's what I say. We've got to clear them out as well.

01:02:34.200 The next two, the next three, or the last three are all Belgian's evil. Trust me again. 1.00

01:02:37.440 So if you don't mind, I'll whip through them. You say,

01:02:39.840 Last week, Carl skipped superchats en masse due to time issues.

01:02:45.080 Firas was there. Maybe Stelios too.

01:02:48.440 My profession of non-homo love for Firas left out yet again. 0.90

01:02:53.220 10 plus super chats now 0.67

01:02:55.220 Jealous Bo

01:02:56.220 Why?

01:02:57.420 I'm not jealous

01:03:53.800 alliance between Dutch low-Saxon non-West Frisian uh Groningen and uh Maronite Catholic Lebanon

01:04:02.420 what I didn't I wonder where he was going with that I thought he was just going to say the

01:04:07.120 affinity between kinship between basically the Dutch and the English I was going to say yeah

01:07:50.220 I'm preparing for a catastrophe by getting up to scratch with my raider skills.

01:07:56.140 Why store it when I can just take it?

01:07:59.060 Morning, Dave, from Hope Not Hate.

01:08:02.720 Well, that is what things boil down to, don't they?

01:08:05.300 When there is real systems collapse,

01:08:09.560 when it's kind of every man for himself,

01:08:13.780 mad Max beyond the Thunderdome type situation,

01:08:18.000 like the Great Leap Forward type situation,

01:08:21.800 you've got nothing,

01:08:22.800 and the only thing you can do to not die

01:08:25.440 or watch your family die around you slowly,

01:08:28.980 the only thing you can do is steal it from your neighbours.

01:08:34.880 A nightmare, in other words, a nightmare situation.

01:08:38.880 I'm not condoning that, of course, I'm just saying.

01:08:41.460 That is what has played out throughout history a number of times.

01:08:45.640 Thanks, leftist economic theory.

01:08:48.020 Thank you for that.

01:08:50.860 Yeah, billionaires are the problem, are they?

01:08:53.460 Are they?

01:08:54.720 Is it not your entire concept of value?

01:08:57.720 Marxist theory of value is the real problem.

01:09:01.100 Okay.

01:09:03.380 Jim Howard, 1900, says,

01:09:05.400 I spent eight years caring for my mum for £60 a week.

01:09:08.940 Save the government quarter of a million pound.

01:09:12.080 Yeah, well done, sir.

01:09:14.640 Well done, sir.

01:09:16.020 Caring for your mother.

01:09:18.940 Well done.

01:09:20.040 A noble thing.

01:09:21.980 A noble thing.

01:09:22.800 Thomas Glover92 says, Bo, being the history bro you are, what do you think of mad conspiracies

01:09:34.840 like Tartaria, mud floods and star faults? Also, what's your favourite conspiracy?

01:09:44.040 Okay, Tartaria is nonsense. I don't know what you mean by mud floods and star faults are a very,

01:09:50.000 very real thing that are interesting star faults the design of faults a more and more complicated

01:09:54.780 design of a fault so that your fortified defensive positions so with overlapping

01:10:01.360 fields of fire that's just a real historical thing and they're fascinating even leonardo da

01:10:05.900 vinci and or michelangelo designed those i think i've got long-form content about the life and

01:10:10.900 career in terms of both leonardo da vinci and michelangelo yeah and then also what's your

01:10:16.600 favourite conspiracy? Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, that's

01:10:18.620 a good question. My favourite one? I don't

01:10:20.560 know. Perhaps

01:10:22.580 the JFK murder. I've written a

01:10:24.560 fair bit, articles on lotusseaters.com

01:10:26.380 and made a video or two, more than one

01:10:28.740 video about JFK, my thoughts and feelings about JFK.

01:10:30.980 I wouldn't call it a conspiracy though in the

01:10:32.560 true sense. I believe that's part of the problem.

01:10:35.080 They claim you're a

01:10:36.480 conspiracy theorist if you don't buy that it was

01:10:38.620 Oswald alone, Lee Oswald alone

01:10:40.580 that did it. You must be a conspiracy theorist.

01:10:42.320 I don't buy that even.

01:10:46.600 I lay at the door of the likes of Alan Dulles, the deep state.

01:10:51.820 I do think it was a CIA job.

01:10:55.280 Ultimately, Alan Dulles.

01:10:58.240 I suppose that's my favourite one.

01:10:59.460 But I love conspiracy theory one way or another.

01:11:01.660 Just mysteries.

01:11:03.240 Various mysteries.

01:11:06.100 Anyway, okay, alright.

01:11:08.300 Moving on.

01:11:10.100 Stu Sutton 1977 says,

01:11:11.740 Anagram of Meghan Markle, ankle gamma.

01:11:15.540 Or ankle gamer, gamma.

01:11:16.600 i suppose ankle gamma there you go learn something new every day global foot job history says it is

01:11:22.920 i a thaddeus what was it thaddeus bungo mctip pop what was it it's a harry do you remember

01:11:29.000 mctip pop there you go thaddeus it is our thaddeus and i am befuddled exclamation mark i found a rich

01:11:38.280 old babe, but she makes only 60 grand after taxes and is called rich. What the F? How 1.00

01:11:48.320 bad are taxes there? Yeah. Well, if you make 60 grand after taxes, you take home 60 grand

01:11:55.300 a year in Britain, that's not bad. That's way above average. I think the average wage

01:12:01.080 is something like 40 or 45 000 before taxes so if you're taking home 60 grand you're probably

01:12:10.120 actually earning something like 100 or 110 or 20 or something like in that ballpark it's not amazing

01:12:15.960 money can uh compared to an american it's not bad you can afford to live and um you know have a

01:12:24.120 holiday in a car you can afford to buy your groceries in waitrose instead of asda on that

01:12:29.480 that sort of money yeah it's not a fantastic amount is it you're not truly rich or wealthy are

01:12:36.280 you sort of intergenerational wealth is it but you're not poor won't be won't be worried about

01:12:43.620 the individual fiver or tenner here or there would you if you take home 60 grand all right

01:12:49.340 next one is also from global uh foot job history thaddeus old thaddeus he says i don't know if

01:12:57.220 old, sorry, old, let's say old, O-L apostrophe, not necessarily actually old, he says, I too

01:13:03.440 share a profoundly heterosexual and not even vaguely suspect love for Faraz. Please tell

01:13:11.320 him I said I love him and say my name on air, kisses. Yeah, some people really love Faraz,

01:13:53.880 Crowley. They've spelt it with two zeros instead of O's there. And they've said, many of these
