00:00:59.100 trying to tell you what is or isn't important

00:01:15.880 bury that

00:01:17.760 don't put that on the front pages

00:01:19.280 bury it super deep

00:01:20.240 yeah

00:01:24.900 Epstein's connection to the 5th Baron Rothschild

00:01:28.580 Don't mention that again, yeah

00:01:29.920 Like every day, yeah

00:01:31.720 The United King Don

00:01:36.820 And PM Battles to Block Sleaze Vote

00:01:42.200 They're the two big stories this morning

00:01:44.460 On the front pages anyway, wall to wall

00:01:46.140 King Charles

00:01:47.760 King Charles III 0.97

00:01:49.280 Sorry, he said first

00:01:51.040 Very different person

00:01:54.900 King Charles III, Big Fat Sausage Fingers, Chuck Mountbatten, Chas Saxe-Coburg-Gotha went to America.

00:02:10.780 He's going to try and paper over all the problems in the special relationship.

00:02:14.500 He's landed in the United States to fanfare.

00:02:18.640 Four-day state visit and the Donald.

00:02:21.660 That is the main thing

00:02:24.460 There's not a fantastic amount going on

00:02:28.460 In the Straits of Hormuz

00:02:29.420 They've decided

00:02:30.580 And so

00:02:32.360 It's this

00:02:33.880 They're boiled talking about the price of oil

00:02:35.680 Shall we have a quick look at the price of oil

00:02:39.140 It's a little bit higher than yesterday

00:02:41.240 It is

00:02:41.840 West Texas is now just shy of $100

00:02:45.260 $98

00:02:45.920 Brent $110

00:02:47.960 Creeping up isn't it

00:02:49.340 Creeping up

00:02:49.800 Creeping

00:02:50.100 Creeping

00:02:50.480 Okay

00:02:54.840 The times, we'll start with the venerable times

00:02:57.460 What have we got here?

00:03:00.940 The added flavour in danger

00:03:02.640 How stolen chips really do taste better 0.97

00:03:04.840 Oh, what a ridiculous story 0.64

00:03:06.580 I think it's literally only scanned it really briefly 0.99

00:03:09.340 It seemed like complete slop nonsense

00:03:11.240 That they did some sort of test about

00:03:13.340 Quite literally about stolen food

00:03:15.240 Literally that

00:03:17.040 It tastes better if you steal the food

00:03:20.480 There you go, there's a picture

00:03:25.080 Camilla, sausage fingers, the Don

00:03:28.500 And his wife 0.99

00:03:30.080 Melania

00:03:32.160 Big news, right?

00:03:35.180 Big stuff

00:03:35.680 King's message of unity as he arrives in the US

00:03:39.040 Can the special relationship be

00:03:43.700 Salvaged?

00:03:47.060 Harry, we didn't talk about a poll this morning

00:03:48.620 Put a poll up, something like

00:03:50.260 make it

00:03:51.520 can

00:03:54.160 Charles salvage the special

00:03:56.060 relationship

00:03:56.480 or do you

00:04:00.140 think King Charles

00:04:02.320 will salvage the special relationship

00:04:03.860 something like that

00:04:04.820 okay something like that

00:04:07.240 PM battles to block Sleaze vote

00:04:09.540 so this is a thing this is probably the second biggest story

00:04:12.060 of the day

00:04:13.120 pressure on Labour MPs

00:04:15.720 to see off inquiry

00:04:17.220 into Mandelson affair by committee

00:04:19.500 that ended Boris Johnson's political career.

00:04:23.080 So Kemi Badenoch, Olu Kemi Badenoch, 0.95

00:04:25.540 the Nigerian woman,

00:04:26.440 LARPing as the leader of the Royal Opposition, 1.00

00:04:31.220 wants a full-blown parliamentary inquiry

00:04:33.420 into Starmer and the Mandelson affair.

00:04:40.180 And that needs to be voted on in Parliament.

00:04:45.220 But of course, Labour have got a big majority, haven't they?

00:04:48.580 So you would imagine that if Labour didn't want that to happen

00:04:54.060 It just wouldn't pass a vote in Parliament and just wouldn't happen

00:04:57.680 There's lots of people in the Parliamentary Labour Party who don't like Starmer

00:05:02.420 That want to see him humiliated and or out for whatever reason

00:05:08.400 So it might pass

00:05:10.380 But the insiders, people that know what they're really, really talking about

00:05:15.380 Saying it probably won't

00:05:16.380 Because Labour are going with a three-line whip

00:05:20.580 Anyone who doesn't know what that is 1.00

00:05:23.520 Perhaps foreign people can be forgiven 1.00

00:05:25.520 For not necessarily knowing all about that 0.93

00:05:27.600 The whip system in Parliament

00:05:29.300 A three-line whip means that you've got to do it

00:05:34.740 Otherwise you're in big trouble

00:05:36.300 Otherwise you'll never, ever, ever get a job in government ever, ever again

00:05:39.280 If you defy a three-line whip

00:05:40.920 There's no actual whipping

00:05:44.620 Physical whipping involved

00:05:46.840 There's just these certain people in the party 0.91

00:05:49.180 They're called the whip

00:05:50.700 It's a pretty old school thing

00:05:53.360 It's a public school thing it feels like to me

00:05:55.060 And they're just sort of party enforcers

00:05:59.860 That's all that really is

00:06:02.640 A one line or a two line or a three line whip

00:06:06.840 It's a one line whip

00:06:08.000 It comes down from your party leaders

00:06:10.360 We're going to whip this one

00:06:13.340 We want, we need you, really, really need you to vote with us, with the government

00:06:18.020 You know, if you don't, we'll take note of it, we'll remember it

00:06:23.040 But if it's a three-line whip, it is sort of saying, we insist that you vote the way we want you to

00:06:31.800 In Parliament, this is

00:06:33.660 Yeah, if you defy a three-line whip, you're just, you're out of favour forever

00:06:39.980 As long as that government exists, anyway

00:06:42.180 And word is

00:06:44.500 Is that Starmer's called a three line whip

00:06:46.340 On this thing to block 0.99

00:06:47.520 To block

00:06:48.980 An enquiry into

00:06:51.940 A sleaze enquiry into him

00:06:54.380 And the Mandelson thing

00:06:55.160 Yeah and apparently

00:06:58.180 They've got the numbers to do that

00:06:59.760 So it looks like Kemi

00:07:00.840 And people that want the full truth

00:07:03.380 Will be thwarted

00:07:04.620 There was one thing

00:07:06.580 I think it might be on Sky News

00:07:08.380 Yeah let's just watch this real quick

00:07:10.740 because this guy is the Chief Political Correspondent from Sky News,

00:07:15.640 so he can tell us a tiny bit about the reality of it.

00:07:19.200 I'll just play maybe one minute of this.

00:07:21.900 What is the Privileges Committee exactly,

00:07:24.400 and what might happen if MPs vote to refer the Prime Minister

00:07:28.480 to an investigation by it?

00:07:30.620 With just over a week to go before the local elections on May 7th,

00:07:35.020 MPs are due to vote on a motion tabled by Kemi Badenoch.

00:07:38.940 She'll claim that the Prime Minister misled MPs in the House of Commons over the Mandelson vetting scandal.

00:07:46.560 But might the Prime Minister actually be investigated?

00:07:49.880 All the signs are that the Government will comfortably win the vote with its big Commons majority.

00:07:55.660 Even the malcontents on the Labour backbenches, those who want the Prime Minister to go

00:08:01.060 and those who are supporters of Angela Rayner or Andy Burnham,

00:08:05.060 Are unlikely to want to fire the starting gun now

00:08:09.220 On a Labour leadership race

00:08:11.300 The committee is made up of seven MPs

00:08:13.860 For Labour, two Conservative

00:08:16.180 Be quiet, be quiet John Craig

00:08:17.880 That's enough of you

00:08:18.540 Okay, so there you go

00:08:19.800 And you know, it's his job, people like him

00:08:23.000 To actually know what the numbers would be

00:08:25.240 If it came to a vote in Parliament

00:08:27.540 And he's saying, they're saying

00:08:29.520 Labour's got the numbers to sort of

00:08:33.040 Put the kibosh on this thing

00:08:35.060 There you go

00:08:36.920 Probably a bit of a stillman's hiccup

00:08:38.220 Nonetheless, a lot of the papers are going with it

00:08:41.400 This could be Starmer's Day of Reckoning

00:08:43.160 Probably not though

00:08:45.580 I mean it might be

00:08:47.040 Tomorrow morning

00:08:48.000 Because the vote is supposed to happen this evening

00:08:50.560 So by tomorrow morning

00:08:52.520 Boat Show tomorrow morning on Wednesday

00:08:53.980 We'll know one way or the other

00:08:55.560 Could be wrong

00:08:57.080 That analysis from Sky News there could just prove to be wrong

00:09:00.220 But I suspect not

00:09:02.220 I suspect not

00:09:03.460 So yeah, loads of the papers

00:09:05.920 Like Starmer's Day of Reckoning

00:09:07.120 Doubt it, probably not

00:09:08.460 Because as he said there

00:09:10.140 And as everyone knows

00:09:11.480 The other big beasts in Labour

00:09:15.160 Like Rainer, say

00:09:16.840 They don't want to knock Starmer down

00:09:20.700 Like mortally wound him politically

00:09:23.020 At this moment

00:09:24.720 This is sort of a bad moment for it

00:09:26.820 You know, we're only like

00:09:28.300 What, 10 days, 11, 12 days

00:09:30.200 Whatever it is

00:09:30.680 Out from those local elections

00:09:33.220 Where Starmer and Labour are going to get

00:09:35.960 Absolutely trounced

00:09:37.720 Then, that's the moment

00:09:39.660 That's the moment 1.00

00:09:42.260 To try and stab him 1.00

00:09:44.280 In the front 1.00

00:09:44.800 I think Kemi should know that 0.94

00:09:52.480 Why doesn't Kemi just wait 1.00

00:09:53.740 Wait for two weeks 1.00

00:09:56.060 Or less, and then do this

00:09:58.180 But

00:09:59.700 Okay, alright

00:10:00.940 We'll see what happens tonight in that vote

00:10:02.780 maybe maybe they will win that vote and there'll be a parliamentary inquiry into the sleeves whether

00:10:09.660 he misled parliament whether he lied to parliament when he said i all the vetting was done i didn't

00:10:15.980 know xyz until this certain point in time to see whether that is that those were indeed liars or not

00:10:24.220 okay the guardian

00:10:26.060 Don't want

00:10:30.100 Revolting the Guardian

00:10:32.520 It shivered down my spine

00:10:35.440 Okay

00:10:37.260 PM pleads for unity among Labour MPs

00:10:41.280 Over a critical Mandelson vote

00:10:43.140 You know, unity

00:10:45.140 Please don't stab me in the back

00:10:47.440 It's the sort of thing if you had a normal government

00:10:54.780 and a normal leader with a big majority wouldn't even need to really make sort of pleas like that

00:11:01.580 you would just be given that yeah your party or the vast majority of them will just back you up

00:11:07.340 of course they would what the opposition is trying to take you down that's the enemy the

00:11:12.680 other side of course of course we vote against that it's us versus them of course but

00:11:18.440 Starmer and this government isn't really all that normal, is it?

00:11:23.940 Stick together, urges Starmer, as ministers seek to stave off revolt.

00:11:30.920 Okay.

00:11:33.100 No cameras at Trump's meeting with King.

00:11:36.080 We just had a private tea when Charles first touched down.

00:11:41.720 Touched down yesterday.

00:11:44.260 Alright.

00:11:45.060 The Daily Telegraph

00:11:48.840 How Hollywood turned on Anne Hathaway

00:11:51.800 Don't care 0.99

00:11:52.540 Profoundly don't care about that

00:11:55.280 Starmer pleads with MPs to save him

00:11:57.260 Alright

00:11:57.520 King, Britain and US must come together

00:12:00.780 I mean, Trump is

00:12:05.660 This isn't coming from a place of TDS, by the way

00:12:08.780 But Trump is sort of quite a reasonably changeable character

00:12:14.260 I think that's a fair thing to say

00:12:16.820 Like if he likes you

00:12:19.300 And you impress him

00:12:20.840 One way or another

00:12:21.900 He may well sort of change his mind

00:12:24.100 His thoughts and feelings about stuff

00:12:25.520 If Charles is

00:12:28.600 Charm offensive

00:12:30.440 If it works

00:12:34.000 And

00:12:35.420 Trump decides

00:12:37.880 Maybe I should just chill out

00:12:39.540 On criticising the UK all the time

00:12:42.360 It might work won't it

00:12:43.680 I mean, I know Trump does genuinely seem to like both the monarchy as a whole

00:12:51.440 And actually Sausage Fingers himself

00:12:54.660 Seems to like him and get on

00:12:56.180 And that means a lot to Trump, doesn't it?

00:12:59.080 Like being a New York property dude, first and foremost

00:13:01.640 That's what Trump is, isn't it?

00:13:05.200 Real life relationships are everything to him, aren't they?

00:13:09.020 Well, not everything, but it's a really, really big part of it

00:13:13.680 If you treat him well

00:13:15.820 He quite often treats you well

00:13:17.700 Doesn't he 1.00

00:13:18.160 If you're a dick to him 1.00

00:13:21.460 Then you're in trouble 1.00

00:13:23.660 As far as he's concerned

00:13:25.040 Which we should say

00:13:27.020 It's not very long is it

00:13:28.560 It's a four day trip

00:13:29.820 And I think only two of those days

00:13:31.360 He's actually sort of with the president

00:13:33.460 So to speak

00:13:34.320 So he's only got a handful of hours

00:13:37.440 I think about King Charles

00:13:40.580 Or Prince Charles as was

00:13:42.020 um i think i think this is also fair to say people might disagree with me a bit but i think

00:13:48.880 it's fair to say he's a little bit of a marmite character as well a lot of people find him sort

00:13:54.160 of cold and aloof and arrogant and not a nice person really not a nice person to loads of

00:14:02.840 people around him he's horrible but if he decides he wants to be super nice to you and super charming 0.94

00:14:08.940 He can do that

00:14:10.360 He has got that gear

00:14:11.320 That's what other people say

00:14:12.660 A bit of a

00:14:13.880 Yeah

00:14:14.180 A bit of a Marmite thing

00:14:15.180 If he decides

00:14:16.140 He wants to turn on the charms

00:14:17.640 Be all sweetness and light

00:14:19.340 And sort of

00:14:20.740 Somehow

00:14:21.800 Let Trump

00:14:22.820 Bask in the glow

00:14:24.720 Of his royalty

00:14:25.600 It might work

00:14:28.720 Who knows

00:14:29.040 Who knows

00:14:29.440 It might work

00:14:30.020 Alright

00:14:30.400 Security guards

00:14:31.780 Should not tackle 1.00

00:14:32.980 Shoplifters

00:14:33.960 Say union bosses

00:14:35.360 Yeah because most unions

00:14:36.240 Are completely

00:14:36.820 Completely 0.63

00:14:38.600 infiltrated and subverted by leftists and socialists and commies and traitors so yeah

00:14:45.160 they would say that what a mad thing that even your unions say just let people steal 1.00

00:14:54.440 just let some absolute scumbag come into your uh your shop whether it's a big shop or whatever 0.99

00:15:03.700 And just brazenly just fill up baskets of stuff 1.00

00:15:07.500 Just sweeping shelves of stuff into their baskets

00:15:10.100 And walking out

00:15:11.300 Just let them do it

00:15:13.100 Alright, so no more law and order then

00:15:14.880 That's the end of a rules-based society then, is it?

00:15:24.020 Because what?

00:15:24.960 Because health and safety

00:15:25.640 The article says because on health and safety grounds

00:15:29.460 Shouldn't ever tackle them or confront them

00:15:31.880 Because of health and safety 0.96

00:15:33.140 Because you're commies 1.00

00:15:37.160 And you want our society to be broken 1.00

00:15:38.780 Union bosses 0.98

00:15:44.660 The independent

00:15:50.040 They're sausage fingers and his missus again 0.96

00:16:00.380 Just moved my backup tea here

00:16:02.040 It's not a second cuppa

00:16:03.140 Alright, the Independent

00:16:06.120 King Charles' tricky task with Trump

00:16:08.700 Don't mention the war

00:16:10.220 Don't mention World War II 1.00

00:16:12.960 When you're talking to Germans 0.99

00:16:14.080 Don't mention the war 1.00

00:16:15.180 It'd be embarrassing for them

00:16:18.000 But in this instance, obviously

00:16:19.440 Don't mention the war

00:16:20.260 Iran, Falklands or the Ukraine 0.56

00:16:22.960 Alright

00:16:26.860 Starmer faces vote of inquiry

00:16:29.700 Into misleading MPs

00:16:31.100 MP urges Labour's backbenchers to ignore

00:16:33.700 Political stunt, that's what Starmer called it

00:16:35.560 This whole thing is just a stunt

00:16:36.840 There's nothing to see here, I've been perfectly honest

00:16:39.860 All the way along at every stage of this

00:16:41.480 There's nothing more to find

00:16:43.180 So it's just a stunt

00:16:44.400 Is it though?

00:16:47.640 There's loads of questions left

00:16:49.040 The most salient one

00:16:51.800 Which in actual this enquiry

00:16:53.380 Probably wouldn't be able to get to

00:16:55.060 To actually put its thumb

00:16:57.220 On the main issue

00:16:58.620 Why Amanda at all? 0.71

00:16:59.980 Why Amanda in the first place

00:17:02.000 Why was he even on a list of people

00:17:04.080 He wanted in that job

00:17:06.080 Like who's the current ambassador to the US right now

00:17:08.920 You don't know his name do you

00:17:10.720 I read his name the other day

00:17:12.840 And I've already forgotten it

00:17:13.880 Why because it's basically nobody

00:17:15.360 Because it's basically a foreign office inside a person

00:17:18.720 Who you would never have heard of

00:17:19.840 And that's the way it is

00:17:23.040 That's the way it should be

00:17:23.640 That's normal

00:17:24.260 Why that's the real thing

00:17:26.980 Why did you want Peter Mandelson

00:17:30.420 In that job at all

00:17:33.380 Don't worry about Ollie Robbins

00:17:36.300 Don't worry about Morgan McSweeney's phone necessarily

00:17:41.500 All of these things, the vast majority of it

00:17:44.960 Distraction, window dressing

00:17:47.500 Why did you want Mandy in that job? 0.71

00:17:51.540 And you didn't even speak to him

00:17:53.000 Before he got the job

00:17:56.980 Did someone tell you to pick him?

00:18:01.100 If so, who?

00:18:02.440 If you go, if, if, this probably, this inquiry, if it goes ahead, which it probably won't,

00:18:06.820 but if it did, they probably won't ask those questions, the most salient questions about

00:18:12.040 the whole thing.

00:18:14.360 If I could get Keir Starmer and somehow on a truth serum so he couldn't just lie, why

00:18:21.180 did you want him?

00:18:21.980 if you weren't told by someone above your pay grade

00:18:25.520 like the fifth baron rothschild if you weren't told by somebody else to pick mandy

00:18:34.040 then why did you what was going on in your mind why him

00:18:38.260 just owe him a favor for helping you get the labour leadership in the first instance

00:18:47.900 A shaky reason

00:18:51.320 A bit of a shaky logic

00:18:52.220 Doesn't really add up

00:18:53.440 Of all the positions

00:18:55.880 Of all the ways you could repay him politically

00:18:58.860 You do that

00:19:00.340 Super super sensitive

00:19:05.100 It's a sensitive position isn't it

00:19:08.060 You get access to like the highest

00:19:09.900 Intelligence

00:19:12.220 Don't you

00:19:12.740 Mandy

00:19:14.580 Okay

00:19:15.900 the daily mail complete globalist slop trying to pretend it's not welcome to the usa your majesty

00:19:23.760 yep all right so here's day of reckoning see they keep calling it a day of reckoning it's not really

00:19:30.480 it probably won't be well even if it is it's not like that day even if they even if this vote did

00:19:37.200 pass it's not like he's forced out of office that day or anything close to it it's not really a day

00:19:42.680 of reckoning they can't help but go with hyperbole can they i mean they've got to sell papers i

00:19:47.400 suppose they've got to get clicks like all of us it's only when people accuse lotus eaters or

00:19:56.880 anyone ever of um slop or grifting or whatever sensationism it's like yeah unfortunately that

00:20:08.600 is a bit the nature of the game why have you put like a really pretty woman on the thumbnail or

00:20:13.320 something yeah because we're it's the it's the game of trying to get people to click on things

00:20:19.080 but if you're very if you're deliberately really really boring and the thumbnails aren't

00:20:23.880 eye-catching or whatever then you get less clicks and we are a business like like all these things

00:20:31.560 are a business they do have to try and make money you have to turn a profit otherwise the whole

00:20:35.480 thing is dead oh it's so slop it's all slop don't click on it then

00:20:49.320 all right pm ready to order labor backbenchers to vote against manderson ethics inquiry

00:20:55.960 that could force him from office i mean it's all a bit

00:21:01.080 it could do that it might do this it might do that

00:21:03.080 it's all down the road and probably won't anyway starma's stitch up to save his own skin by calling

00:21:13.200 a three-line whip is a stitch up no it's completely normal parliamentary procedure

00:21:18.280 sort of built into the process for centuries not necessarily fair i don't like it i hate it

00:21:25.040 i hate the whip system by the way can i go off on one for a couple of minutes about the whip system

00:21:29.260 anyone mind no when i first found out about the whip system and i was a late teenager

00:21:36.240 maybe in my early 20s before i actually took it on board what it really was what it really meant

00:21:40.620 well that's horrible that's one more layer of like something that's at odds with democracy itself

00:21:49.860 so you've returned an mp to parliament hopefully he's going to represent you and what you want

00:21:55.100 hopefully a lot of the time just won't you're still going to do what he wants what's good for

00:21:58.980 his career the idea is supposed to represent you the normal person and then okay so loads of time

00:22:05.800 they just don't do that anyway and then on top of that there's this whip system where the party

00:22:11.420 leadership can sort of kind of force him coerce him largely quite well the whip system works quite

00:22:20.200 well um on top of that there's the whip system which may well force him to vote against like

00:22:27.920 your his and your wishes now there's that as well if i was the leader of a party

00:22:39.840 in parliament i wouldn't use the whip system at all they call it a free vote

00:22:45.920 right like the party is going to let all its mps vote entirely as they wish

00:22:51.200 i every single vote i would have a free vote and if you lose you lose like win the argument on

00:22:58.920 something or don't try and win the argument rather than just whipping your mps into lion

00:23:05.640 having said that every once in a blue moon you might sort of have to but rarely very rarely put

00:23:14.060 it that way okay if i was uh if i was the leader of a party in parliament i would very very rarely

00:23:19.100 use any whipping very very rarely hardly ever i would try and make the argument i would like to

00:23:26.840 think that all my mps were behind me and had was thought similarly about everything more or less

00:23:32.740 everything anything big the the idea that you select mps in the first place that have got at

00:23:40.460 least a similar view as yours a similar vision for what britain is and should be

00:23:45.320 And then when there's votes in Parliament

00:23:48.420 You don't need to whip them

00:23:49.680 You shouldn't need to force them

00:23:51.500 Against their better judgement

00:23:52.840 To do anything

00:23:53.620 How about that?

00:23:57.300 Rather than you're just at war

00:23:58.780 With your own party the whole time

00:24:00.200 The leadership want something completely different

00:24:02.860 To all the other MPs in that party

00:24:05.220 That's not good, that's not healthy

00:24:07.060 What's that?

00:24:07.900 What is that?

00:24:09.560 It's just a tiny little cabal at the top of a party

00:24:12.060 Working against the interests of

00:24:15.320 their own mps and the country yeah just actually be authentic and win the argument what's wrong with

00:24:23.800 that anyway a little mini rant about the whip system horrible i think it's horrible you might

00:24:33.080 have to use it once the blue moon though your own party are like trying to do something odd

00:24:42.200 some sort of weird 4d chess machination thing

00:24:46.120 and it's sort of life and death politically

00:24:49.640 for like the country and something maybe maybe even then

00:24:53.000 even then

00:24:56.360 i would have basically free votes basically the whole time

00:24:59.400 more or less the whole time that's just my view

00:25:05.560 the expresso it's a good paper

00:25:12.200 okay so Keir Starmer accused of spending billions on benefits instead of boosting defense yeah that's

00:25:18.340 exactly what's happened isn't it PM is quote putting welfare ahead of national security quote

00:25:23.620 yeah yeah we know yeah definitely been doing that Keir Starmer has been accused of putting funding

00:25:31.240 for benefits claimants ahead of money for defense as a recruitment crisis hits the military yeah

00:25:40.060 the express yeah wait wake up everyone's been saying that for ages now what yeah we know yeah

00:25:49.100 a good old cuppa with trump to start king's u.s state visit i think he's talking about a cup of

00:25:55.180 tea they had tea tea for two and two for tea okay the other paper king's warning to america

00:26:07.100 charles urges u.s president and congress to stick with europe soft diplomacy on agenda

00:26:13.820 in crucial 48 hours to fix friendship let's quickly read the blurb on the ipaper and then

00:26:18.060 we'll we'll stop talking about chuck and the don king heads to white house for private afternoon tea

00:26:27.580 at start a four-day state visit attempted shooting attempted shooting could provide

00:26:33.580 uh a springboard for trump and the king to strengthen strained special relationship though

00:26:39.980 charles will avoid wading into political differences between the nations he is likely

00:26:45.740 to send a strong reminder that britain remains a friend to the us insiders expect this is right at

00:26:51.180 the limit of my vision at the moment insiders expect quote extra amount of warmth from the king

00:26:59.260 yeah it's charm offensive sausage fingers charm offensive operation go

00:27:04.620 from the king and won't be afraid to voice his opinions in private

00:27:11.980 california teacher charged with uh attempting to assassinate president okay

00:27:17.020 the daily star even the star goes with the state visit security at all time

00:27:21.180 higher as trump welcomes brave chaz they call him chaz i think i called him chaz earlier didn't i

00:27:27.340 King of Steel

00:27:29.000 I don't know what that means

00:27:29.920 I saw this this morning

00:27:31.000 Like an hour and a half ago

00:27:32.600 Two hours ago

00:27:33.160 King of Steel

00:27:35.160 I don't know

00:27:37.020 What that's a reference to

00:27:39.620 Or a pun on

00:27:40.640 Or anything

00:27:41.080 I really don't know

00:27:42.100 The Man of Steel

00:27:45.400 Isn't there

00:27:45.980 Superman

00:27:48.280 King of Steel

00:27:49.380 I don't know

00:27:52.120 If anyone knows

00:27:53.040 Anyone's got any idea

00:27:54.880 What the

00:27:55.400 what the star is blathering on about with it they say man baby says the royals will be very safe

00:28:01.460 they're just happy to call the president of the united states a man baby they do that quite often

00:28:06.220 man baby donald trump the man baby it's quite dismissive isn't it i mean i'm very dismissive 0.84

00:28:13.080 i just called it i've called charles a number of times sausage fingers muck sex cobra gother or 0.60

00:28:19.800 whatever but can you imagine the um the sort of atmosphere the tone inside the the daily star

00:28:28.220 editorial room or senior senior editor's room where somebody writes somebody just wants to

00:28:36.240 call trump a man baby and every single tier of editorial review before it goes to print

00:28:42.980 like yeah yeah man baby yeah just call him the man baby yeah go

00:28:49.800 but it must just be pure tds from top to bottom at the staff some reason

00:28:54.580 but the star can be sort of occasionally a bit based about something you know like moan about

00:29:00.420 the small boats or whatever moan about about industrial level rape and things like that

00:29:05.460 so it's not like they're it's not they're not quite sort of like the guardian or the metro

00:29:11.220 completely insane communists but yet she's got full-blown tds apparently just happy to call

00:29:18.640 Trump man-baby. All right, the sun, the exact same picture. They always do that, don't they? 0.83

00:29:29.020 That's good. United King Don. You get it, right? You get the clever, clever wordplay.

00:29:37.140 Kingdom. King Don. Yeah. Very, very clever. All right. The mirror, the exact same image.

00:29:46.300 Amid heightened security and tension

00:29:48.700 Charles arrives in the US with a message of unity

00:29:51.240 Today he will tell Congress that it is

00:29:53.720 In the hearts of both nations

00:29:55.420 To value people of all faiths and none 0.81

00:29:58.160 What are you talking about?

00:30:01.160 Just empty nonsense isn't it? 0.92

00:30:03.980 Just empty nonsense

00:30:04.880 Peace envoy

00:30:06.200 It's a peace envoy people

00:30:08.640 At the metro

00:30:10.020 Metro

00:30:11.640 Anger as officials here ask for sacrifice

00:30:20.720 Iranian officials here, the UK, ask for sacrifice

00:30:26.700 So they go with something a bit different 1.00

00:30:28.480 It's a little bit worrying actually

00:30:32.220 Iran embassy in chilling call for martyrs

00:30:37.240 Be clear, the UK Iranian embassy

00:30:39.720 There's the flag

00:30:41.440 This is that building in Kensington

00:30:43.500 Remember where the SAS had to storm it

00:30:45.920 In 1918

00:30:46.980 Remember that?

00:30:49.420 Remember that? 0.99

00:30:52.880 It's been a pain in the arse 0.99

00:30:54.120 Since day one 0.99

00:30:55.020 Did I say arse? 0.99

00:30:58.900 I just did didn't I? 0.99

00:30:59.600 I just did it again

00:31:00.160 You did it again

00:31:00.840 I said it again

00:31:01.600 Sorry it's supposed to be super clean

00:31:03.980 The breakfast shake

00:31:04.540 Sorry 0.96

00:31:04.860 It's been a pain in the butt 0.94

00:31:08.480 Since day one

00:31:11.040 oh do you reckon i've ever done any long-form content all about the 1980 iranian embassy siege

00:31:18.160 harry i've got like was it close to two hours talking in fantastic detail all about

00:31:25.120 the iranian embassy siege when the sas had to blow up that very balcony and storm in and save

00:31:34.860 hostages because iranians in the uk were fighting with each other effectively

00:31:44.540 yeah i have yeah i have one of my better epochs i think some are better than others

00:31:51.100 can't avoid that i think that's a really good one i think it's a really really good one

00:31:54.220 Check it out

00:31:56.220 Yeah, anti-Ayatollah Iranian terrorists stormed their own embassy in Kensington

00:32:04.980 Alright

00:32:07.380 In fact, on, is it on

00:32:13.020 Yeah, here we go, in the mail

00:32:15.820 Tehran's embassy in London calls on Iranians living in the UK to sacrifice their lives for the regime

00:32:22.360 sparking national security fears a little bit worrying iranians are claiming oh we don't mean

00:32:28.040 actually do terrorist stuff in the uk well that's not what we're saying it's close to that there

00:32:33.100 isn't it you could take it that way pardon me all right well here's the actual message they sent

00:32:40.800 and uh there's the original and there's an english translation and the uh translation is

00:32:46.520 it's really dodgy english not it's not very good english because it's a sort seems to be some sort

00:32:51.200 direct maybe ai translation so i'll read it but remember

00:32:59.440 it's it's a a shaky translation all right it says uh patriotism is from faith

00:33:06.800 to inform the proud compatriots residing in the united kingdom in order to realize the concrete

00:33:13.680 will and national desire for popular defense in the land of iran the possibility of registering

00:33:18.880 in the sacrifice for the homeland campaign has been provided on the mikhak system platform

00:33:27.360 to display a manifestation of empathy loyalty and national zeal in a in a unified form hereby

00:33:34.500 hereby all brave and noble children of iran are invited to consciously participate and register

00:33:41.340 in this campaign adding another golden page to the record of honors of this ancient land

00:33:47.460 And showing that their hearts are devoted to the dignity and pride of the homeland

00:33:52.320 Undoubtedly, the harmony of the hearts of Iran lovers

00:33:59.040 Will guarantee the stability, prosperity and flourishing of the future of this land

00:34:04.680 Altogether, let us give our lives better than giving the country to the enemy

00:34:12.040 There you go

00:34:12.920 There you go

00:34:16.080 It isn't explicitly saying

00:34:18.080 You know

00:34:20.140 Do violent and or terroristic things

00:34:21.960 In the UK

00:34:22.640 It's not really saying that is it

00:34:23.960 Nonetheless

00:34:25.140 You could read it as though it's like

00:34:29.640 Slightly worrying

00:34:30.420 Like all you know 1.00

00:34:32.820 All Iranians in the UK

00:34:34.600 Give your lives

00:34:36.520 It also doesn't explicitly say

00:34:40.340 Come back to Iran

00:34:41.960 And give your life 1.00

00:34:43.200 Does it

00:34:43.840 doesn't explicitly say that like recalling all good loyal ayatollah loving iranians that happen

00:34:50.880 to reside in the uk come back to persia come back to iran and help fight the good fight it's not

00:34:57.080 saying that though is it all right it's probably one way or another it's probably best not to have 0.98

00:35:06.980 millions of foreign nationals in your country at all, isn't it? 1.00

00:35:12.260 I mean Machiavelli talked about that. Don't allow your country to be flooded by 1.00

00:35:17.060 giant amounts of foreigners, whoever they are. That's not prudent, on a meta level. 1.00

00:35:29.600 Okay, the Financial Times goes with a bunch of stuff I'm not interested in this

00:35:32.740 morning, business stuff. Alright, that's the papers. We did a poll, did we

00:35:35.800 eventually do a poll harry okay bring that up for me sorry the poll was a bit late this morning

00:35:41.600 apologies for that so all right still got 750 odd votes nice thanks for taking part in that

00:35:49.140 if you're in the chat you're the best among us we said do you think king charles will salvage

00:35:57.960 the special relationship 15% of you say yes 63% say no and a decent chunk 22% say maybe

00:36:07.520 so yeah I would have clicked on no or maybe I think probably

00:36:11.800 I mean I've said before haven't I I don't think there was really much of a special relationship

00:36:19.520 outside of Churchill's head in World War II certainly by the 50s certainly after Korea

00:36:26.940 Certainly after the Suez Canal crisis

00:36:28.760 Not much of a special relationship

00:36:31.380 Really

00:36:32.500 And nowadays

00:36:35.320 Specifically

00:36:37.860 The personal relationship

00:36:40.320 Between Starmer and Trump

00:36:42.420 It's non-existent isn't it

00:36:43.500 I mean I know

00:36:46.360 The special relationship as a concept

00:36:48.480 Is much more than just

00:36:50.460 How much

00:36:51.420 Trump and Starmer like each other

00:36:54.180 I know it's way more than that

00:36:55.160 It's a bigger thing than that isn't it

00:36:56.920 conceptually but nonetheless for example um at one point there you had uh george w bush

00:37:04.240 you had w and gordon brown they hated each other well gordon brown hated w hated him

00:37:10.620 their politics are very very very very very different at one time gordon brown had to go

00:37:18.060 to the united states to the white house for some sort of visit and w gave him some sort of like

00:37:23.280 leather flying jacket it was like it was quite cool like u.s style fighter pilot sort of leather

00:37:29.360 flying jacket um gordon brown just left it on the plane when he come home just left it there

00:37:35.880 didn't want it that's so rude isn't it on his way home just left it on the plane walked away

00:37:43.340 not interested in that diplomatically that's the equivalent of actually slapping him in the face 0.99

00:37:51.280 isn't it spitting on his shoes sort of saying i hate you george w bush i hate you i hate your 0.99

00:37:58.520 politics i hate everything you stand for that's what that says doesn't it 1.00

00:38:02.620 gordon brown obviously a terrible politician terrible wrong-headed weirdo red dower 0.99

00:38:13.180 i hate the golden brown's terrible terrible man i'm a massive fan of george w if someone said 0.99

00:38:22.160 you've got to be a part you've got to be a partisan for either george w bush or

00:38:27.340 golden brown i pick w

00:38:30.200 anyway same with this starmer and trump are two very very very very different men aren't they

00:38:37.660 They look out on the world with very different eyes

00:38:39.720 Don't they

00:38:40.240 They view everything entirely differently

00:38:44.140 No wonder they don't see eye to eye

00:38:46.560 No wonder they don't actually like each other

00:38:48.500 Trump's very bombastic, isn't he

00:38:53.980 He's got his own mind

00:38:55.980 Knows what he wants to do

00:38:57.200 And at least in his way

00:39:00.960 Tries to put America first a lot, doesn't he

00:39:03.400 Everything from tariffs to

00:39:05.840 Tries to do, I think

00:39:07.420 What he thinks best

00:39:08.900 The United States

00:39:10.780 For the West, often

00:39:13.280 Mostly

00:39:14.740 Perhaps not always

00:39:16.800 But Starmer's just like a full-blown 0.96

00:39:19.140 Full-blown commie traitor, isn't he?

00:39:21.560 Who's too far left for the Fabian Society 0.92

00:39:23.720 As a younger man

00:39:24.540 Tries to undermine

00:39:26.100 Britain at every possible turn

00:39:28.740 And he's a 0.97

00:39:30.960 Little weakling weasel 0.98

00:39:33.080 Of a man 0.94

00:39:34.100 Right?

00:39:37.420 You can criticise Trump all you like

00:39:38.760 You can't say he's a shrinking violet, can you?

00:39:41.840 You can't say that he's a

00:39:44.000 He's a man without a chest

00:39:47.260 A star it is, isn't he?

00:39:51.580 Alright, should we have a look at the websites?

00:39:54.560 Oh, it's already 22

00:39:55.280 Alright, let's have a

00:39:56.840 Should we have a quick look at the websites?

00:39:59.340 What do you have?

00:40:00.500 Harry

00:40:00.900 Yes

00:40:03.200 Do another super quick poll right now

00:40:05.400 Just put

00:40:07.420 do you care about boxing okay let's do that right now and i'll just see what the first few votes

00:40:14.380 come in like the first few dozen or whatever i'll see whether because we've i think we've

00:40:21.020 asked before if anyone likes f1 that was a resounding no i think once we asked something

00:40:25.580 about football and it was also a resounding no i was going to talk a little bit about um

00:40:34.060 tyson fury and anthony joshua but if people if people don't care about that i won't i won't

00:40:41.260 bother and it's good to know going forward um so i'll spend one minute saying this whilst the

00:40:48.940 whilst that poll was put up yeah apparently there's been a deal struck between anthony joshua

00:40:55.260 i'll leave the mouse to you harry they'll leave um oh look the first few are ticking in

00:40:59.980 100 170 80 90 200 odd votes coming in it's a no it's a no you don't care about boxing okay

00:41:08.620 all right well i won't talk about it all then forget it all right i'm a man i'm a river to my

00:41:13.260 people 70 knocking 250 votes straight away 70 say you don't care about boxing all right

00:41:21.720 right there enough um political violence there was something in um where we done that what was

00:41:33.000 it the mail the express sorry i've got yes something about rupert lowe something about

00:41:40.340 rupert lowe in the express here we go this is the first thing the top thing in the express this

00:41:45.480 morning you know people in restore have moaned a bit rightly that rupert isn't getting enough or

00:41:53.400 any real sort of exposure from the legacy corporate mainstream media although gb news

00:41:58.760 did have him on the other day didn't they jacob reese mogg sat down with him

00:42:02.460 wonder if niag was annoyed about that behind the scenes apparently niag calls a lot of the shots

00:42:08.160 at gb news obviously not all the shots though because mog sat down with him um and now the

00:42:15.120 express has actually got a piece as well one of the first ones i've seen one of the first big one

00:42:20.720 anyway big ones that they've promoted and put at the top of their website sort of even recognizing

00:42:25.440 that rupert's got a party and stuff should we read it should have a look at look nigel farage

00:42:30.320 has promised to rescue britain but his arch enemy his arch enemy could ruin everything

00:42:36.080 Like he's Moriarty

00:42:38.800 Like Nigel is Holmes

00:42:42.380 And Rupert is Moriarty

00:42:44.260 And he's arch enemy

00:42:45.840 A long running feud

00:42:47.640 Is still bubbling away

00:42:48.740 And it could get even nastier

00:42:50.240 Yeah

00:42:50.860 Alright so look

00:42:52.540 There's

00:42:53.260 There's a

00:42:53.560 Loby-One Kenobi

00:42:54.340 Rips

00:42:54.820 Prince Rupert himself

00:42:55.760 There we go

00:42:56.320 The article reads

00:42:58.880 It's not all that long

00:42:59.500 Why don't I just read it all

00:43:00.320 Nigel Farage will doubtless enjoy

00:43:02.180 Basking in the glow

00:43:03.200 Of the

00:43:03.600 Of the spring sunshine

00:43:04.660 It's a bit of a

00:43:06.080 Dreary ruling this morning in the West.

00:43:08.640 A bit cold and overshadowed and grey spitting.

00:43:11.900 Anyway, basking in the glow of the spring sunshine.

00:43:15.260 An unlikely local election runaway success next month.

00:43:18.040 Yeah, reform, we're all going to smash it.

00:43:20.600 We're actually going to smash it.

00:43:23.260 Okay. 1.00

00:43:24.520 But there could be dark clouds on the horizon for Nige and reform. 1.00

00:43:28.920 Revenge is a dish best served cold. 1.00

00:43:31.860 and Rupert Lowe is ready to

00:43:34.740 rain on the parade of his former boss

00:43:36.520 and would-be Prime Minister

00:43:37.960 Mr Lowe, 68, the millionaire former

00:43:40.540 Southampton Football Club boss and MP

00:43:42.440 for Great Yarmouth, was booted out

00:43:44.560 of Reform UK and reported to police

00:43:46.880 after being accused of bullying staff

00:43:48.600 and making threats to party chairman

00:43:50.320 Zia Yusuf, all of which

00:43:52.540 proved to be 0.76

00:43:53.420 liars. He strenuously 0.65

00:43:56.360 denied all allegations and the Metropolitan

00:43:58.600 Police subsequently dropped an investigation

00:44:00.660 because they were lies he continues to claim it was retribution after criticizing farage's

00:44:08.700 leadership style as messianic some wanted him jailed

00:44:14.260 low who sits as an independent mp now leads restore britain and just like reform they're

00:44:20.900 after the same voters kind of not entirely really there's massive overlap of course but

00:44:27.760 The May 7 elections are too early for his new party

00:44:33.880 But its sights are set on something bigger

00:44:36.020 And it could just stop reform seizing power at the general election

00:44:39.620 It is fair to say there is no love lost between Farage and Lowe

00:44:43.600 A political old stager and the new kid on the block 0.95

00:44:47.000 I need to think of Repers 0.98

00:44:49.980 The new kid on the block 0.93

00:44:52.980 I won't break it out into song of a new kid on the block song

00:44:57.420 That wouldn't be appropriate at this moment.

00:44:59.660 And, as so often, it comes down to personalities. 0.98

00:45:03.620 Lowe called him a coward and a viper 0.97

00:45:05.480 after he was vilified and targeted 0.95

00:45:09.500 in a brutal smear campaign for the sin of asking legitimate questions

00:45:14.220 about the party's direction, policies and leadership.

00:45:18.040 He is testing water on May 7th with candidates standing under the Great Yarmouth First Flag,

00:45:23.080 a local offshoot of the Restore Britain party he leads,

00:45:26.260 But not contesting councils

00:45:28.200 Nationally

00:45:29.720 For now

00:45:31.020 Yeah, the party was just too

00:45:34.100 See Matt Goodwin saying that

00:45:35.700 I think I've said this before

00:45:36.560 Matt Goodwin saying

00:45:37.420 Oh look, you can't even field candidates all over the country

00:45:40.200 Yeah, because it's brand new

00:45:41.260 Logistically, physically

00:45:42.180 That wasn't possible

00:45:42.920 And you know that, Matt

00:45:44.180 Rat

00:45:45.540 In another swap at Reform

00:45:48.060 He said

00:45:48.520 I'm not going to present

00:45:50.340 To the British people

00:45:52.200 Thousands of candidates

00:45:53.200 At the local elections

00:45:54.520 Who have not been properly vetted

00:45:56.000 interviewed or considered that would be irresponsible and rash we've seen what

00:46:01.200 happens when new parties do that and the voters get let down it's absolutely

00:46:04.940 perfectly reasonable thing isn't it perfectly reasonable position to hold

00:46:09.500 Matt Goodwin please be patient I do not want to be in a position where we have

00:46:17.240 individuals elected who do not understand the important responsibilities

00:46:20.780 of local government paper candidates those with questionable histories

00:46:24.620 opportunist careerists individuals who have no interest in working hard some even simply after

00:46:31.640 the money i do i don't you don't get paid all that much to be a council i don't think

00:46:35.080 anyway i do not want to present them to the british people look at reform's track record

00:46:41.100 following its uh desperation to stand candidates promising tax cuts then hiking people's council

00:46:47.400 Tax bills, a staggering 9%

00:46:49.240 In one reform council

00:46:50.860 9% families

00:46:53.020 Cannot afford it

00:46:54.140 9% 0.98

00:46:56.020 Families cannot afford it 0.99

00:46:58.420 It is morally wrong

00:46:59.600 And I want not to

00:47:02.260 No repeat of it

00:47:03.740 Let's learn from their mistakes, not our own

00:47:06.400 We are going to do this right

00:47:08.940 Where we stand, we will aim to win

00:47:11.280 Where we win, we will properly

00:47:13.060 Represent those residents

00:47:14.540 We will put forward the right people 1.00

00:47:16.980 with the right ideas and the right principles good there's profoundly unserious nigel farage 0.97

00:47:23.620 doing everything he can to contain real patriots and nativists and then bragging about it there's 0.98

00:47:30.620 nigel there nigel farage a political weakling and coward afraid of islam latest ipsos political 0.97

00:47:39.680 Pulse data shows low with an 18% favourability rating and outperforming Farage. Despite his 0.95

00:47:49.440 higher overall profile recognition, in what Restore Britain says indicates a much stronger

00:47:53.880 public response to his message. People want millions to go. They want our country back.

00:47:59.600 We don't want someone who's going to capitulate to Islam. We don't want that. We need someone 1.00

00:48:07.380 some backbone some guts party membership now stands at around 132 000 and polling is not insignificant

00:48:22.580 people saying the whole thing is going to implode within a few weeks

00:48:25.860 welcome to your latest tiny party that doesn't get off the ground

00:48:30.020 Clashes with reform high command over illegal immigration

00:48:38.120 Was the real reason Lowe was sidelined

00:48:40.240 This article is not too bad

00:48:42.780 Saucy suggests

00:48:44.420 With party bosses upset at his forthright approach to policy

00:48:48.180 Yeah, he started saying things that real people want to hear

00:48:51.440 Yeah, he started saying things that aren't just pure containment

00:48:56.260 He had to go

00:48:58.040 they had to try and get him arrested thrown in prison didn't they for that the crime of that

00:49:02.460 incredibly the issue of illegal immigration had become a sticking point

00:49:07.040 with its hierarchy reforms hierarchy yeah it's weird isn't it weird

00:49:11.600 almost like the reform leadership don't actually that they're still the uniparty they don't

00:49:18.400 actually want to save our country from demographic decline and the natives becoming a hated and 0.70

00:49:23.840 marginalized minority in their own ancestral homeland it's almost like nigel and the reform 0.99

00:49:28.740 leadership don't care about that it became a sticking point in its hierarchy despite farage

00:49:34.480 describing the channel small boats crisis as a national security emergency yeah it's bigger than

00:49:39.180 the small boat crisis though isn't it it's much much bigger than that this issue one point of

00:49:44.960 disagreement uh was his repeated call to deport every single illegal migrant nothing wrong with

00:49:49.960 that absolutely that's just a start yes every single illegal migrant yeah every single one of

00:49:55.920 them send them back to their countries of origin why not what possible argument is there against

00:50:00.220 that other than you want the country to be destabilized unless you want that unless you

00:50:06.360 want the crime rate to go up and the trust trust in the society go down unless you want that yeah 0.99

00:50:12.040 every single illegal migrant can go back to their country of origin of course madness to have 0.62

00:50:17.520 anything else blow believes that if you are in the uk illegally you must be deported yes again 1.00

00:50:23.440 sort of a bare minimum thing that's a that's just a perfectly reasonable position to hold

00:50:29.740 that's perfectly reasonable that's centrist to me that's a centrist dad position

00:50:37.520 if you don't want that you're an extreme leftist you're a traitor an extreme leftist if you don't

00:50:44.900 want that in my opinion those close to Farage were uncomfortable with his opinion yeah of course

00:50:50.640 they were yeah because Nige is a containment project yeah he also irked Farage because he

00:50:58.660 was popular oh now we're getting to it that's not my words that's that's this uh Express article

00:51:07.640 he also irked Farage because he was popular Rupert was popular his broad appeal has won him millions

00:51:14.120 of admirers on social media and a ringing endorsement from the world's richest man elon musk

00:51:21.640 who is no dummy right elon musk met nige didn't like him said he's like i can't remember exactly

00:51:28.280 elon's words but he was like yeah nige isn't the guy i paraphrase he's like he's not the guy

00:51:34.520 he's weak source but he does like rupert doesn't he because rupert's like authentic

00:51:40.680 you believe i believe rupert elon believes rupert will get it done or start to at the very least

00:51:49.240 try and stem the bleeding just to begin with yeah he also irritated it rupert also irritated his

00:51:58.360 leader by going rogue and outlining a wide range of policy suggestions including an action plan

00:52:04.180 to inject life into britain's high streets um cementing his reputation as a common sense

00:52:09.080 politician. In short, he was too high profile and was stealing Farage's thunder that he

00:52:14.520 did not like. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, that's just the honest truth, isn't it? It's the

00:52:20.560 unvarnished truth. Nigel needs to be sort of the undisputed master of that party, so

00:52:30.760 completely, completely undisputed. Anyone like Zia or Richard Tyus ever became a bit

00:52:38.860 too popular they'll probably find themselves not that they're going to because both those men are

00:52:42.400 obnoxious but might find themselves in a bit of hot water with knowledge for our shed low

00:52:47.380 quote uh managed to fall out with all his parliamentary colleagues in one way or another

00:52:51.480 well not really that's not really you that's not exactly that's characterizing it unfairly i would

00:52:58.940 say adding we did our best to keep a lid on things but in the end containment strategies

00:53:04.440 Invariably fail

00:53:05.700 Yeah you tried to contain him didn't you

00:53:08.180 You tried to shut him up

00:53:09.700 You tried to put your thumb on his forehead

00:53:12.220 And push him down and make him be quiet

00:53:13.960 And it didn't work did it

00:53:15.600 Gutted

00:53:18.080 General election voting intention

00:53:21.400 Currently puts reform on 25%

00:53:23.340 And the Tories on 19%

00:53:24.780 And others including Restore Britain

00:53:26.420 And Advance UK

00:53:27.480 The party led by Ben Habib

00:53:29.800 Another disgruntled former Farage protege

00:53:32.760 On 7%

00:53:34.440 Last I saw, well that was about a week ago or more

00:53:37.340 Stores more than like 9%

00:53:39.200 Different polls come out, they fluctuate don't they

00:53:42.500 Reform will clean up on May the 7th, yeah they will

00:53:46.520 But that will only tell part of a long running story

00:53:52.540 Farage might soon win the latest battle

00:53:55.240 But may well end up losing the war

00:53:57.640 And with his lifelong ambition to take it to number 10

00:54:04.440 The Niaves are out

00:54:05.800 It's game on 0.97

00:54:08.120 Yeah, game on

00:54:09.600 We think Nigel and Reform

00:54:12.300 Are a uniparty containment project

00:54:15.300 The Tories 2.0

00:54:16.560 The TIL Tories

00:54:17.420 And that's not what we want

00:54:20.120 We don't want that

00:54:21.960 That's not good enough

00:54:23.680 Right, there you go

00:54:27.940 At least the Express actually giving Arupa 1.00

00:54:31.100 A little bit of a proper hearing

00:54:33.580 That article is top of their website this morning

00:54:35.880 Alright

00:54:37.260 It's very close to 9am

00:54:40.420 I was going to talk a little bit about the Zorro Ranch

00:54:42.520 Maybe I'll save that for tomorrow

00:54:46.520 It's not going, that story's not going anywhere is it

00:54:48.680 The horrors of Zorro

00:54:50.200 Apparently, just real quick to say

00:54:52.680 Jeffrey Epstein had a giant mansion

00:54:55.620 Out in New Mexico

00:54:57.100 Sort of near

00:54:58.900 Albuquerque

00:55:00.220 In between Albuquerque and Santa Fe

00:55:02.860 Something like that

00:55:03.580 out in the desert of new mexico and some say

00:55:07.060 some of the worst excesses and crimes went on there

00:55:11.280 actual killings and like real real insane horrors like marquis de sade level horrors

00:55:18.660 we'll save it for another day we've got to get on this

00:55:23.340 let's have a look at uh what happened on this day in history i like doing that segment you guys

00:55:28.500 seem to like doing that segment on this day in history april the 28th down through the centuries

00:55:32.100 what happened of note. Shall we have a quick look? Here we go. In year 1611, establishment

00:55:37.280 of the Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas, the Catholic university in the

00:55:43.700 Philippines, the oldest existing university in Asia and the largest Catholic university

00:55:47.980 in the world. 1611, that's early, isn't it? You know, the Philippines only became Spanish

00:55:54.420 possessions formally in like the 1560s, wasn't it? I think whoever runs this website, they've

00:56:01.120 got a, whether they're Filipino or, they seem to mention the Philippines a fair bit, don't

00:56:06.920 they?

00:56:08.080 Remember they've got a, why they do that, but, interesting nonetheless, interesting nonetheless,

00:56:12.540 all right, in the year 1770, British Captain James Cook aboard HMS Endeavour, first lands

00:56:18.800 in Australia at Botany Bay, Harry, Harry, now, let me ask you, do you reckon I've got

00:56:29.360 loads and loads of hours, hours and hours

00:56:31.440 in conversation with

00:56:33.560 one Mr.

00:56:35.580 Luca Johnson, all about

00:56:37.440 the life and career of James Cook.

00:56:41.320 Yeah, I have. Yeah, he's there.

00:56:45.160 £5 a month to consider signing up,

00:56:46.760 Bronze Team Membership. Thousands and thousands

00:56:49.340 of hours of content behind that paywall.

00:56:51.800 Very, very good stuff.

00:56:53.500 Stuff by Stelios, an actual PhD

00:56:55.380 in philosophy, and an actual

00:56:57.360 real-life Athenian philosopher.

00:56:59.360 Dan Tubbs, economic stuff

00:57:02.760 Lots and lots of old Josh Firm stuff

00:57:06.660 Psychology

00:57:07.580 Postgrad in psychology

00:57:09.740 And of course

00:57:10.340 A few hundred hours of me talking about history

00:57:14.820 Is that interested you?

00:57:18.920 Do you consider it?

00:57:20.120 James Cook, anyway, James Cook

00:57:21.240 Yeah, Botany Bay, Australia

00:57:23.520 Yeah

00:57:23.980 Into a sticky end himself, didn't he?

00:57:26.500 We mentioned Magellan yesterday

00:57:27.540 Ended up getting chopped to pieces 1.00

00:57:29.240 by indigenous native Islanders. 1.00

00:57:35.300 James Cook came to a similar sticky end, didn't he?

00:57:40.000 In the year 1789, Fletcher Christian leads a mutiny on HMS Bounty

00:57:45.080 against the Captain William Blyer, Captain Blyer, in the South Pacific.

00:57:49.260 I haven't actually got any content on that, but I would do that at some point.

00:57:52.540 It's a great story, the mutiny on the Bounty.

00:57:55.040 Mutiny on the Bounty, great story.

00:57:56.460 captain blire was a horrible sort of horrible martinet sort of taskmaster of a captain and in

00:58:06.680 the end the just the people on his boat mutinied but they couldn't go back to england because they'd 0.62

00:58:11.700 be hung for mutiny even if their captain was a douche so they're on the run forever now we have

00:58:19.460 to just find a new life somewhere in the in the pacific some of them did some of them didn't some

00:58:25.640 did of them end up on the Pitcairn Islands wasn't it the Pitcairns

00:58:32.080 let's not think about what ended up happening ultimately on that island those

00:58:39.140 islands inbreeding and incest that's what ended up happening there so let's

00:58:46.140 move on on this day in 1910 the first night air flight by Claude Graham White

00:58:53.400 takes place in England. That's interesting. I like the history of flight and aviation, don't I?

00:58:59.200 The first ever night flight, 1910. Isn't it? Not many years later and they're doing acrobatics,

00:59:05.840 dogfights, in the skies above Flanders, Belgium, Northern France in World War I.

00:59:13.860 On this day in 1937, Pan Am operates the first scheduled commercial trans-Pacific flight.

00:59:20.340 that's interesting to know isn't it 1937 you might think it was before that but

00:59:24.620 a normal person just could not get a plane across the pacific before that

00:59:29.500 you'll be dodgy and shaky even 1937 i'd be worried about that

00:59:34.340 going on that okay in 1977 on this day andreas badder and members of the terrorist group

00:59:42.960 Red Army Faction

00:59:45.440 Otherwise known as the Baden-Meinhof Gang

00:59:47.920 Are jailed for life after a trial

00:59:51.240 Lasting nearly two years in Stuttgart

00:59:53.040 In Germany

00:59:53.720 What's the Baden-Meinhof Gang

00:59:57.180 You ask?

00:59:59.080 What's the Red Army Faction

01:00:00.840 You might ask? 0.73

01:00:03.620 Or just commies in West Germany 0.96

01:00:05.080 That killed loads of people 0.93

01:00:06.060 Blew loads of things up over years and years and years

01:00:08.160 Leftist terrorism in West Germany

01:00:11.340 For years and years and years

01:00:12.960 They don't talk about the Baden-Meinhof gang very much, do they?

01:00:19.360 You'd have to go, you'd probably have to specifically type that in

01:00:22.340 To find out about it

01:00:24.200 Because the mainstream don't talk about

01:00:25.600 They talk about Cable Street

01:00:26.860 Yeah

01:00:29.420 Don't mention the Baden-Meinhof gang

01:00:31.720 Yeah, just full-blown, I mean, I'm not exaggerating

01:00:34.720 That's not just me, people that are ever so slightly off the left

01:00:37.340 And I smear them as communists

01:00:38.660 No, they were full-blown

01:00:39.660 Full-blown

01:00:41.560 Trying to destroy

01:00:44.180 Sort of

01:00:46.200 Well they thought that West Germany

01:00:47.660 Was like basically fascist

01:00:50.400 And stuff

01:00:50.860 And capitalists

01:00:53.300 Obviously they hate capitalism

01:00:54.460 Capitalism itself

01:00:55.700 Even that is a problem

01:00:56.760 So

01:00:58.120 Yeah 0.76

01:00:58.900 Whether they were helped by the Stasi 0.99

01:01:01.460 And the East German

01:01:03.180 Intelligence services

01:01:04.860 They killed loads of people

01:01:07.020 They killed quite a few people

01:01:09.120 Loads and loads of different bombings

01:01:10.480 And shootings

01:01:10.960 and loads of people got injured and wounded along the way.

01:01:15.520 They're a full-blown paramilitary.

01:01:16.700 A load of them got killed in shoot-outs with police and stuff.

01:01:20.040 Full-blown communist paramilitary terrorists in West Germany.

01:01:26.180 The Baden-Meinhof gang.

01:01:30.200 There you go.

01:01:30.900 The vast majority of political violence is nearly always from the left. 1.00

01:01:35.060 Bomb-throwing reds. 1.00

01:01:36.560 Alright, should we have a look at our Rumble Rents and Super Chats 0.99

01:01:42.720 Let me do this with my thing so I can see

01:01:46.240 Right, Rumble Rents

01:01:49.500 In at number one, Global Church History

01:01:51.120 Of course it is, because of course it is

01:01:52.820 You can rely on him, I think you can rely on him

01:01:55.780 He's a reliable chap

01:01:57.580 In at number one

01:01:58.880 You say, Global Church History

01:02:02.080 Today in the year 224 0.75

01:02:04.560 our dashier the first sassian sassian defeats and kills artaban the fifth 0.95

01:02:14.680 ending the parthian empire yeah so that brings in the sassanid period right

01:02:21.000 parthians not to be confused with persians same part of the world roughly roughly speaking

01:02:27.160 they're not like the ancient persians that alexander fought parthians are something else

01:02:32.360 Anyway, they get defeated by the Sassanids

01:02:35.700 The Sassanids, so yeah, important 1.00

01:02:38.140 Important, interesting

01:02:39.920 And in the year 1294, Timur

01:02:43.720 Or Tamerlane, Timur the Lame

01:02:47.820 It's all the same person

01:02:49.160 Grandson of Kublai, Kublai Khan 0.96

01:02:51.520 Is elected Mongol Khagan 0.89

01:02:55.720 Yeah, I mean, by the time of Timur 0.98

01:02:58.920 It's a bit different 0.99

01:03:01.240 it's not like true pure blood mongols from like the middle of the asian step is it like tim was

01:03:08.100 more like a half turkic half turkic person by that point none less fascinating i think i mentioned it

01:03:15.040 a couple of weeks ago i was on the main podcast i seem to remember nick dixon was on that day

01:03:19.880 for some reason timur came up i remember why i brought him up i mean i remember why

01:03:25.760 I think he was talking about like the worst crimes in all history or something

01:03:29.760 And I was like, well, there is Tamerlane 0.91

01:03:33.420 There is Timur in the lane 0.99

01:03:35.740 Probably his campaigns were like the bloodiest campaigns of all time

01:03:38.580 Of all time

01:03:39.660 Was it something like 5% or more?

01:03:44.420 5% of the entire world's population were killed by the campaigns of Timur

01:03:50.800 yeah extremely sort of insanely bloody

01:03:56.240 all right if you've never heard of him check it out watch a documentary about tamerlane

01:04:01.580 interesting fascinating all right uh 14 barber says morning mate all right yeah i'm all right

01:06:05.020 Where someone or other had sort of just done

01:06:07.640 A bunch of screenshots and just sort of shown it

01:06:09.340 It seemed to be a slam dunk to me

01:06:10.840 i haven't spent any real time researching it or anything but it seemed to be

01:06:14.020 just the case yeah and out of ecuador for some reason

01:06:18.820 it's scummy just win the argument just be real and authentic and build like a real

01:06:25.420 following and with real people that say real things is that too much to ask apparently it is

01:06:30.920 apparently it is it's a desperate if that if it is indeed true and it does look like it but you

01:06:38.000 know if it is indeed true it's the last inch last ditch sort of gambit from losers isn't it really

01:06:44.920 if you're resorting to stuff like that you've already lost at least the momentum haven't you

01:06:50.600 at the very least if not lost the actual battle for minds hearts and minds you're already resorting

01:08:32.180 Talking about science wasn't I

01:08:33.620 About physics and particles

01:08:35.520 And the nature of light and stuff

01:08:37.040 Okay thanks, thanks for that 1.00

01:08:39.360 If reality itself is fake and gay 1.00

01:08:43.220 E.g. photons 1.00

01:08:44.760 Are photons fake and gay?

01:08:49.260 Most important question of our age. 0.99

01:08:52.380 Does that mean space was fake and gay this whole time? 0.97

01:08:58.240 I don't know. 1.00

01:08:59.080 Yeah, but I actually had quite good fun on Saturday evening

01:09:01.740 tweeting about physics.

01:09:03.420 I do that sometimes.

01:09:04.920 Don't always just tweet about politics.

01:09:09.440 I like to tweet about other stuff.

01:09:12.640 Occasionally say something about Formula One.

01:09:14.620 Don't worry.

01:09:15.500 Everyone follows me on Twitter.

01:09:16.340 I usually say something completely random

01:09:19.420 About something completely different

01:09:21.720 Often tweet about history and things

01:09:23.500 Don't I

01:09:23.760 But yeah science stuff

01:09:25.960 Yeah

01:09:27.660 What is light really

01:09:29.640 What are protons really

01:09:31.080 How does it work

01:09:32.140 Anyway

01:09:49.340 Can I become king of England?

01:09:54.820 No, unfortunately 0.99

01:09:55.680 You have to be related to

01:09:58.200 George I of Hanover

01:10:01.400 For that to be the case

01:10:02.680 Unfortunately you need to be a direct descendant of 0.99

01:10:05.540 Of them

01:10:07.000 So, sorry

01:10:08.860 No can do

01:10:11.220 Silver Galaxy

01:10:14.980 Silver Galaxy says

01:10:16.780 King should fire the PM

01:10:19.060 And abdicate

01:10:20.160 That'd be funny

01:10:22.440 You dissolve parliament

01:10:25.240 And abdicate

01:10:27.020 Why is that so funny to me

01:10:30.740 I don't know why that's amusing me so much

01:10:34.320 Okay

01:10:37.820 Lone Wolf and Cub

01:10:42.500 Says Morgan McSweeney

01:10:44.780 looks like andrew lawrence lol he does a bit actually a little bit like a slightly beefier

01:10:51.920 andrew lawrence yeah he does i've not really noticed that before but the second i read that

01:10:59.020 i was like yeah he does a bit yeah okay the last what four or five here um adrian waller adrian

01:11:09.340 warner says uh have you done an epoch about the political realignment between 1761 and 1768 it

01:11:18.000 could be an interesting analog of the of the current situation so what's that is that what

01:11:25.300 is that is that like this seven years i can't remember off the top of my head i've done stuff

01:11:29.440 about pit the pit the elder is that that period just off the top of my head is that like the seven

01:11:37.120 Years' War, I've done one about the Seven Years' War, I've done one about the War of

01:11:42.560 the Spanish Succession, the War of the Austrian Succession, I haven't done, I certainly haven't 0.99

01:11:47.860 done anything specifically, you're talking about like the Whigs, the Whiggish movement

01:11:53.340 there, I haven't done anything specifically focusing on that, perhaps I could, perhaps

01:11:58.440 I should, I've done a thing of all about Pitt the Elder though, I think that's that period

01:12:05.440 isn't it? Walpole, did I do one all about Robert Walpole? I think I did. I think I've done one

01:12:11.140 just focusing on Robert Walpole, which is earlier than that though, isn't it? Walpole.

01:12:15.800 Okay, I'll have a look into it. All right. What's this say? 00 Staffan. 00 Staffan says,

01:12:27.660 has doing this show daily changed how you read the news? Any assumptions you've had to drop

01:12:32.900 Or had reinforced

01:12:34.460 That's an interesting question

01:12:35.680 Not really

01:12:38.360 Not really, no

01:12:40.800 Sorry, actually, reinforced, yes

01:12:43.220 Sorry, yeah

01:12:44.240 Any assumptions changed, not really

01:12:46.840 Reinforced, yeah, yeah, quite a lot

01:12:49.100 Like the star is more sloppy

01:12:53.200 Than I thought it was

01:12:54.240 Like the Guardian and the Metro are more

01:12:58.800 Obnoxious and annoying than I thought

01:13:01.040 Well, actually that's about

01:13:02.180 most of it i already had you know in my own mind not much a change a few few reinforcements yeah

01:13:10.640 how much the print media copy each other go with like the same story the same headlines even the

01:13:20.480 exact same image the degree of that was more than i even thought it was you know i'd noticed before

01:13:28.520 For years have noticed

01:13:30.080 You can't not notice

01:13:31.280 But the extent that they do it

01:13:33.880 I didn't quite realise the extent to which that goes on

01:13:38.700 Their little group

01:13:41.620 That all the editors are in

01:13:42.980 Surely, surely they're in cahoots

01:13:44.940 Surely they're all talking to each other

01:13:47.780 Like on a daily basis

01:13:49.160 What stories to go with

01:13:51.120 And what ones not to go with

01:13:52.300 What photojournalists

01:13:53.700 We're all like

01:13:54.540 Seven out of eight

01:13:56.780 Seven out of eight of us

01:13:58.860 Are going to put the exact same image

01:14:00.320 On the front page

01:14:01.060 There's no way they can't be

01:14:06.020 So then it's a cabal isn't it

01:14:09.260 A couple of things like that

01:14:13.180 Have been reinforced in my mind

01:14:14.420 No real assumptions that I had before

01:14:16.800 Where it's just not the case

01:14:17.920 Hardly any I don't think

01:14:18.940 I can think off the top of my head

01:14:42.460 yeah i know i remember that that's not exactly what happened but i remember so what happened was

01:14:46.260 he was going door to door like for campaigning and he knocked on the door and there's cameras

01:14:52.300 around because he's the prime minister so it's all sort of a kind of a phony photo opportunity

01:14:58.480 type thing knocks on the door some little old lady some just genuine authentic little old lady 1.00

01:15:03.880 who doesn't owe golden brown or the government anything knocks on the door and she starts 1.00

01:15:07.600 moaning about like immigration and stuff completely normally completely reasonably

01:15:11.980 and he's like going yes no i know right and then after that he gets back in his own car the prime

01:15:21.600 ministerial jag but he's still mic'd up and one of his uh people in his entourage was like what

01:15:30.100 was that what was that about how did that go and Gordon Brown just goes oh it's just some terrible 0.85

01:15:47.540 genuine concerns about her country just call her a bigot and dismiss her and he had to go and

01:15:53.980 apologize oh it's so embarrassing it blew up on all the papers because of course it did

01:15:58.060 and he went back to her house and knocked on her door again like a day or two later
