00:00:19.640 Chosen Few. My band of brothers and sisters. Thank you for joining me. Without you guys,

00:00:24.760 it's not a thing. It really isn't a thing. As always, I'm joined by my producer, Little

00:00:27.740 Harry. How are you this morning? Good, sir.

00:00:29.520 Morning.

00:00:30.000 yeah i'm all good great okay hopefully something slightly different this morning we uh have been

00:00:38.240 talking about since day one mentioned that we might have guests hopefully we're gonna have

00:00:43.020 our first guest this morning you know technical things permitting hopefully we'll have a guest

00:00:48.340 you might have guessed who it is from the thumbnail i believe i don't make the thumbnails

00:00:53.240 or anything but i believe it's on the thumbnail only bloody rupert low yeah

00:01:03.160 only the leader of the restore party the next prime minister of these

00:01:07.880 british isles uh hopefully he's going to come in in the next five ten minutes something like that

00:01:11.880 fingers crossed okay um until then i should just start the show as usual um so let's see what we

00:01:18.840 got what the corporate mainstream media what are they talking about this morning what are those

00:01:22.920 what's that evil cabal of Fleet Street editors trying to tell you is or isn't important this

00:01:26.700 morning okay we've got doctors hold patients hostage and the whole of the moon too high too

00:01:34.420 soon you saw the whole of the moon so okay the three big stories this morning are the British

00:01:42.200 Medical Association and trainee doctors going on strike starting today holding patients hostage

00:01:49.580 is one way of putting it

00:01:51.620 or that's the way the papers are characterising it

00:01:54.940 the whole of the moon, the Artemis mission

00:01:56.680 Artemis 2 did fly around the dark side of the moon

00:01:59.580 and they're on their way back now 1.00

00:02:00.580 and of course more Iran stuff

00:02:03.860 endless Iran stuff

00:02:04.600 well Mr Trump's deadline

00:02:06.060 is 8pm Eastern today as well

00:02:09.780 which will be 1am tomorrow morning British time

00:02:12.980 that's when the deadline runs out

00:02:15.440 and Trump is going to unleash hell

00:02:19.520 on Persia

00:02:21.340 it's, what is it, Power Station and Bridge Day

00:02:24.840 he's calling it

00:02:26.480 and Keir Starmer doesn't want

00:02:30.540 to have, like really doesn't want anything

00:02:32.860 to have to do with that

00:02:33.980 doesn't want US aeroplanes to

00:02:36.600 fly out of Britain or use British airspace

00:02:39.000 to do that stuff

00:02:39.980 one thing to strike military targets

00:02:43.040 another to just

00:02:43.900 strike loads of civilian targets

00:02:47.480 alright, let's have a quick look

00:02:49.420 then quickly run through if Mr Lowe is to come on the stream in the next 5-10 minutes

00:02:54.880 we'll quickly quickly give you the because I want to chat to him of course

00:02:58.380 while we've got him quickly have a look at the headlines in the Express it's a good paper

00:03:02.100 as walkouts cost the NHS an estimated three billion pounds in three years

00:03:10.420 Tories warn doctors hold patients hostage with strikes it was a warm day yesterday that's all

00:03:17.820 that picture was supposed to be. It was a nice warm day yesterday. Yeah, in some papers

00:03:23.680 they're reporting that it's like the 15th strike action these junior doctors have done

00:03:29.800 since 2023. It's a lot, isn't it? That is really quite, well, militant's not the word,

00:03:36.780 but, you know, it's quite extensive, I would call that. Not many other unions are that

00:03:43.080 on it

00:03:46.060 okay

00:03:47.180 3 billion cost of doctor strikes

00:03:50.000 they say something like 50 million pounds a day

00:03:52.300 because to cover all their work

00:03:54.420 the NHS has to just

00:03:56.140 hire other consultant doctors

00:03:58.280 for as much as

00:04:00.080 300 pound plus an hour

00:04:02.220 you just have to hire in 0.99

00:04:04.420 other doctors and nurses to cover their work

00:04:06.460 because nothing can stop

00:04:08.040 the NHS is a rolling stone, it can't stop

00:04:10.580 well it would be catastrophic if it did

00:04:12.660 So they just have to pay loads more money

00:04:16.920 £50 million a day

00:04:18.540 Trump on the balcony at the White House with his wife

00:04:24.800 And the Easter Bunny 0.51

00:04:26.100 Still just threatening Iran 1.00

00:04:30.920 Yeah, okay 1.00

00:04:33.420 His deadline runs out today

00:04:38.240 American time

00:04:39.360 The Sun, yeah

00:04:42.140 we saw the whole of the moon there you go so they've successfully you know reached that

00:04:49.960 sort of altitude record if you like it's not quite an altitude record but you know i mean

00:04:54.380 they've gone further away from the earth than any other humans have ever gone including like

00:04:58.020 apollo 8 and apollo 13 and stuff so it's a new record

00:05:01.220 okay and they're sort of safely on their way back although i did say didn't i

00:05:08.280 that the most dangerous part of the mission is re-entry into the earth's atmosphere at 25,000

00:05:15.420 miles per hour fingers crossed they of course fingers crossed they survived that but a remarkable

00:05:22.740 achievement if you believe nasa and space isn't fake which of course i don't there you go the

00:05:32.000 telegraph trump i will wipe out iran tonight he said he can do it all in like one night in four

00:05:38.040 hours he said could hit all their bridges and power stations or can't be all of their bridges

00:05:42.980 but all their power stations and a lot of their bridges in like four hours or at least in one

00:05:48.820 night they've already got basically complete air superiority haven't they so okay um in the 0.78

00:05:56.260 financial times iran threatens crushing reprisals as trump deadline on homo's homo's looms so um 0.83

00:06:05.020 Yeah, Iran have rejected, they are sort of rejecting Trump's threats and Trump's deadlines. 0.65

00:06:13.720 They're just saying, no, we're not going to crumble to any of that.

00:06:18.920 OK, more Dr. Strait.

00:06:19.880 You see, it's all Trump, Artemis and the NHS.

00:06:24.540 It's almost surreal, that image.

00:06:26.720 Is it just me?

00:06:28.280 Yeah, it's like something out of idiocracy or something.

00:06:32.500 It's just a bit surreal.

00:06:33.480 some sort of fever dream

00:06:35.440 is that really what I'm seeing

00:06:39.340 you know

00:06:39.760 okay

00:06:43.680 yeah they threaten to 0.99

00:06:45.720 bomb Iran into the stone age

00:06:48.140 okay the Guardian

00:06:51.860 ugh

00:06:52.340 don't want, gross

00:06:55.420 yeah there we go

00:06:57.780 Trump says Iran quote

00:06:59.100 can be taken out in one night quote

00:07:01.420 as peace talks forter

00:07:03.200 yeah and as i understand at the last moment iran um offered some sort of deal some sort of 10

00:07:10.240 point deal of their own and the americans sort of ruled that out immediately it's just not good

00:07:14.180 enough for them it's not what they want um and so all efforts to try and stop the bombing have

00:07:21.200 just failed at this point haven't they okay that's missed to break distance record all right

00:07:28.400 the i paper uk will refuse trump access to british bases for strikes on iran's bridges

00:07:35.800 trump threatens new strikes in iran after deadline to open state of hormuz passes tonight

00:07:41.640 quote we they're going to have no bridges no power plants i mean complete demolition

00:07:48.700 end quote that's obviously Mr Trump's words complete demolition okay okay I mean normal

00:07:59.020 people most affected then at that point will that help them will that help them rise up

00:08:07.740 to remove the regime or cripple them further from being able to do that

00:08:13.420 Keir Starmer will reject any request from Trump

00:08:18.860 to use RAF bases for infrastructure attacks

00:08:21.580 International diplomacy accelerates

00:08:25.780 as Trump warns country

00:08:27.000 can be taken out in one night

00:08:29.100 and that might be tomorrow night

00:08:31.420 i.e.

00:08:32.360 because this went to print last night

00:08:33.980 so he means tonight

00:08:34.960 again, to be clear

00:08:36.320 the night of Tuesday

00:08:38.860 the 7th

00:08:40.460 and Tehran rejects 45-day ceasefire

00:08:43.360 plan from pakistan pakistan have tried to be mediators in this haven't they in various

00:08:48.060 in various ways a couple of different times yeah trying to get some sort of 45-day ceasefire going

00:08:53.760 neither side seem particularly well aren't interested in that at this point

00:08:58.680 economic pressure mounts as blockade increases price of global energy food and medicine trump

00:09:05.700 celebrates quote audacious rescue of u.s aviator from iranian mounting crevice we talked about

00:09:11.260 that yesterday, didn't they? Hegsith likened him to, like, a resurrection, obviously, it

00:09:16.020 was Easter weekend, wasn't it? Hegsith likened it to a resurrection, well. Okay. Okay. The

00:09:28.680 Metro, ooh. Gross. The Metro goes something else entirely. Emergency, bike fire saw, those

00:09:37.640 those those little electric electric bikes and that they use batteries lithium batteries

00:09:43.220 that can quite often just sort of start a fire kind of explode a bit and and start fires and

00:09:50.020 that that's not all that rare basically especially cheap ones which says cheap lithium batteries

00:09:55.420 brought online are blamed as experts say more loss of life inevitable yeah people die sometimes

00:10:00.900 like it'll start a house fire well there's a picture right there to start a house fire

00:10:04.500 And people die

00:10:05.480 Okay

00:10:07.020 Just in the last year or something

00:10:08.580 Just in London

00:10:10.200 Some people

00:10:11.760 Fair few people

00:10:12.420 Have died from fires

00:10:13.900 Caused by these things

00:10:14.840 Well

00:10:17.640 It's not like it's a nothing burger

00:10:22.420 It's not like it's a nothing story

00:10:23.760 People are losing their lives

00:10:24.920 But

00:10:25.220 Still

00:10:27.900 The Metro go with something

00:10:29.640 Completely different

00:10:30.460 This morning

00:10:31.060 What do you know about that

00:10:33.500 okay the star again it was the same yesterday wasn't it the star decided to talk all about

00:10:39.800 the grand national for some reason yeah uh that's a female jockey

00:10:46.460 it's her name rachel blackmore she won i believe i don't really follow horse racing hardly at all

00:10:53.940 very very very minimally she won the grand national once i don't know if it wasn't last

00:11:00.900 year I don't think but she once won the first female believe to win the Grand

00:11:03.900 National and she's talked about how it was the best day of her life when that

00:11:08.080 happened

00:11:10.760 that's the front page of the star that's what their editors decided was the most

00:11:15.780 important thing to bring to you this morning not that the Middle East is

00:11:21.540 about to kind of explode even further than it already has not that the NHS is

00:11:30.380 crumbling before our very eyes nope not the greatest human achievement in over 50 years nope

00:11:39.740 the grand national is going to happen at the weekend and here's someone that won it once

00:11:45.260 all right they're the front pages they're the front pages thought we'd whip through them a bit

00:11:50.140 probably go if and when rupert comes up we'll uh go back through them again and ask him his thoughts

00:11:54.860 and feelings and all that sort of thing so um there we go while we're still waiting we'll have

00:12:03.740 a quick look at some of the websites okay as you can imagine because it was only last night the

00:12:10.380 artemis the artemis story dominates uh because it was just last night was about midnight little

00:12:19.900 after midnight british time that is that it went around the dark side of the moon and that 40 minute

00:12:26.380 window of being um out of contact no direct line of sight with the earth so that out of radio contact

00:12:34.620 um so that happened last night and so even quite a lot of the different websites going with it

00:12:39.580 i mean even sky news if we quickly have a look at sky news they're sort of they're loving it

00:12:44.300 They love it, which is great

00:12:46.040 I mean, I love it

00:12:46.980 They're really going for it

00:12:50.020 With all the coverage

00:12:50.920 Which is great

00:12:52.480 Which is great

00:12:55.500 I mean, Artemis 4 is going to be the big one, isn't it?

00:12:58.240 That's the big one

00:12:59.060 When they're going to land Boots

00:13:02.160 That's the idea

00:13:02.880 Boots on the ground

00:13:03.660 I think it's 2028, I believe

00:13:05.960 Is when that's slated for at the moment

00:13:08.000 That will truly be great, won't it?

00:13:11.100 That will truly be historic

00:13:14.300 Because, of course, it's not happened in my lifetime.

00:13:16.560 Most people watching this, the last Boots on the Ground was, I think, 1972.

00:13:25.560 So you'd have to be getting up there in years to remember that,

00:13:29.520 to be old enough to have your memory kick in and it be 1972.

00:13:34.800 So it'd be great.

00:13:35.820 Hopefully it'll put to bed, hopefully, a lot of the people who think it's all fake,

00:13:43.360 Hopefully you'll be able to show beyond any question of a doubt

00:13:46.400 That it's sort of real

00:13:47.360 Okay, back to the news

00:13:52.500 Okay, again the Trump thing

00:13:56.720 Trump threatens to take out in one night the Straits of Hormuz

00:14:00.280 As the deadline looms

00:14:01.440 Clock ticks on Trump's Iran ultimatum with little sign of breakthrough

00:14:05.740 Well there is no breakthrough

00:14:07.200 There is no breakthrough

00:14:08.440 So it looks like that's going to go ahead 0.93

00:14:12.420 It looks like the power stations and bridges of Iran are going to get blown to bits shortly, in less than 24 hours.

00:14:21.740 The Wireless Festival boss defends Kanye West booking and asks people to forgive rapper.

00:14:30.780 That's interesting, isn't it?

00:14:31.500 i would have thought that the organizers with there's a fair bit of pressure from

00:14:35.660 everyone from keir stum to ed davie to the the the board of british jews all piling pressure on him

00:14:44.120 the the organizers of the wireless festival you would have thought he'd probably just

00:14:48.380 capitulate and said okay yeah we're gonna we're gonna cut kanye but he's not he's defending him

00:14:53.380 at this point at least at this point at least that's quite interesting to me um

00:14:57.880 Okay, let's have a look at the ITV news

00:15:03.260 I think there's something quite interesting in here

00:15:05.960 Again, legal right to perform in UK

00:15:15.620 Again, it's getting into the weeds a bit

00:15:19.380 Of whether there's sort of a legal basis

00:15:23.000 To prevent him from coming into the country

00:15:24.720 because in Britain, we do just prevent people from coming into the country quite often

00:15:30.680 if we just don't like them.

00:15:32.580 There was that Dutch right-wing influencer, Eva, I can never pronounce her surname.

00:15:41.100 People in the online rights field will know who I mean.

00:15:44.220 She hasn't done anything wrong.

00:15:45.520 She's just like right-leaning.

00:15:48.580 And when she tried to come to Britain, she was just refused entry.

00:15:51.720 They were just told

00:15:53.500 Just told no

00:15:55.120 I can't remember the exact word in

00:15:59.200 But it was something like

00:16:00.000 You're a detriment to society or something

00:16:02.260 I'm paraphrasing, it wasn't those words

00:16:03.720 It was something like

00:16:04.480 It's not in the interests of the nation for you to visit

00:16:07.140 She's just a completely

00:16:09.240 Completely harmless normal person 1.00

00:16:11.640 She's got slightly right of centre views 0.75

00:16:14.460 Nothing more than that 0.86

00:16:15.300 And yet

00:16:17.140 If you're like an actual

00:16:20.340 well terrorist in some cases actual terrorists like members of hamas or whatever you can come

00:16:26.800 here live here buy property here the actual ayatollah himself has got a london property

00:16:32.120 portfolio hasn't he right if you're an isis bride some people in the mainstream media will argue

00:16:38.960 in favor of you coming back right crazy so anyway in my point is if the home office and the

00:16:47.160 authorities do decide they want to just block you from coming into the country they can

00:16:51.080 and do apparently kanye west's case is sort of in that stage if the home office want to

00:17:01.080 you know go full bore on this and just refuse him entry from the country let alone being able

00:17:06.620 to perform then they could i mean that hangs in the balance right now i suspect if they don't do

00:17:12.560 that and he is allowed in the country then he will be allowed legally to get on that stage

00:17:20.000 at the wireless festival if the wireless festival organizers themselves want him to which at this

00:17:25.700 stage it looks like it will so it's a bit of a ferrari isn't it Kanye West the whole Kanye West

00:17:32.420 story all right will mr trump pull the trigger on full-blown iran thing that trump threatens to

00:17:43.540 obliterate iran in one night as his straits of hormone deadline looms i guess they will i've

00:17:48.620 said before haven't i that the donald and uh the pentagon don't really bluff i mean some people

00:17:58.600 a lot of people like on twitter and things that aren't a fan of the united states or donald

00:18:03.920 like quite often poking fun at him in recent days or weeks saying i was a it was a two-day

00:18:09.760 deadline now it's a 10-day deadline now it's threat after threat after threat it's all bluster

00:18:14.200 um it's like getting sad bro you know like they're not going to do anything it's all bluster

00:18:20.620 I think that's like a profound misreading of the situation

00:18:24.720 Quite profound

00:18:26.500 If and when Trump gives the green light to Hegseth and the Pentagon and the Joint Chiefs

00:18:32.000 They will be doing stuff

00:18:34.140 I mean, how many times do they have to prove it over the last year or less?

00:18:42.220 I do feel like there's not much Iran can do at this point 0.53

00:18:45.440 Even if in the next few hours, the next like 10 hours or something, 12 hours

00:18:49.900 Iran just did everything it possibly could to prevent this from happening

00:18:53.700 It's probably too late, it's probably already in the works, so to speak

00:18:57.380 If Iran said, okay, okay, they're not going to 0.97

00:18:59.460 But if they said, okay, okay, we completely give in 0.93

00:19:01.580 We completely capitulate, the Straits of Hormuz is open

00:19:04.100 Everything you want, we'll do

00:19:05.780 I suspect it's too late for that now

00:19:08.300 The gears are in motion

00:19:09.740 And they're going to get their power stations and bridges blown up

00:19:13.620 To think it's just like an empty threat

00:19:16.840 and the Donald sort of toothless

00:19:19.600 I don't think so

00:19:22.080 but we'll see, we'll see

00:19:24.580 maybe there'll be a last moment

00:19:26.140 stay of execution so to speak

00:19:28.340 there'll be a last moment thing

00:19:30.120 literally almost an hour to go

00:19:32.560 from Trump's 8pm

00:19:34.400 eastern deadline

00:19:35.760 he said oh ok we have reached a deal

00:19:37.780 we don't have to do this

00:19:38.880 we'll see how it goes

00:19:42.120 we'll see how it goes

00:19:43.000 Producers, have we heard from Mr Low at all?

00:19:46.840 Oh, that's a shame

00:19:51.960 If anyone was hoping for that, you'll just have to wait a bit longer

00:19:56.140 Hopefully it arrives

00:19:58.240 I guess he might not

00:19:59.640 We'll get him another day if he doesn't come on

00:20:02.120 Hopefully, fingers crossed anyway

00:20:04.640 Alright, the Daily Mail, I thought this was an interesting story

00:20:09.580 Here 0.95

00:20:11.840 Reform will block visas from all countries

00:20:15.780 Demanding slavery reparations from Britain 0.99

00:20:17.960 Or will they? 1.00

00:20:24.860 That feels like a classic bit of red meat to me 1.00

00:20:28.520 I don't know if that's true

00:20:30.840 Classic bit of red meat

00:20:32.880 Let's have a quick read of this in fact 0.92

00:20:34.180 There you go

00:20:35.840 Reform UK will block visas from all countries

00:20:37.820 Demanding slavery reparations from Britain

00:20:39.180 I doubt that 0.69

00:20:40.360 I kind of doubt it

00:20:41.860 I mean

00:20:42.100 They do say things and then don't do it

00:20:45.560 don't they they have lied in fact haven't they didn't they lie and zeer yusuf lie about

00:20:52.440 rupert lowe and his threat to zeer yusuf's safety

00:20:56.260 all right let's have a quick read reform will block visa visa requests from any country that

00:21:03.600 demands reparations from the uk should they win the next election the party announced yesterday

00:21:08.140 home affairs spokesman zeer yusuf claimed such nations ignore huge sacrifice the uk had made

00:21:14.480 to ban slavery yeah the um uh william wilberforce and the whole that whole movement of abolitionism

00:21:23.840 yeah meanwhile countries that are trying to get money out of us still still have slavery to this 0.68

00:21:31.740 day the irony of that like nigeria nigeria wants us to pay them reparations even though there's 0.78

00:21:40.340 Modern day slavery 0.96

00:21:41.040 In that country to this day

00:21:42.100 But we owe them

00:21:43.580 Reparations now

00:21:44.480 Make that make sense

00:21:48.120 You know

00:21:48.480 Alright

00:21:51.980 Um

00:21:57.180 Yeah

00:21:58.700 A bunch of the countries

00:21:59.920 Oh it says here that

00:22:00.940 You know

00:22:01.620 Zia Yusuf makes the point

00:22:03.260 Sometimes Zia Yusuf does say

00:22:04.860 Base things

00:22:06.380 It's whether you really believe

00:22:07.500 That they really mean it

00:22:08.440 Though don't they

00:22:08.880 It's one thing to say something

00:22:10.040 That sounds based

00:22:11.420 It's another thing to actually do it

00:22:13.800 If and when you've ever got real power

00:22:15.240 Well Labour, Tory and Labour

00:22:18.020 Have given 3.8 million visas

00:22:21.900 To nationals from these countries

00:22:24.720 That have asked for reparations

00:22:26.040 Over the last two decades

00:22:28.000 It will be loads more than that

00:22:29.660 That's an insane number anyway

00:22:32.220 But it will be loads more than that

00:22:34.540 And something in the order of 6.6 billion pounds

00:22:38.820 In foreign aid

00:22:39.560 Okay 0.99

00:22:41.820 Countries like 0.69

00:22:44.680 Well, the African Union 0.50

00:22:47.460 The whole African Union

00:22:48.800 Which is a block of 55 member states 0.99

00:22:51.300 Just as a block

00:22:53.480 55 African countries 0.99

00:22:55.300 Gibbs 0.99

00:22:55.680 You owe us Gibbs

00:22:57.100 Even though

00:23:00.640 There's tons of slavery in your countries today

00:23:02.900 We went through the abolitionist movement

00:23:05.460 In the late 18th century

00:23:06.660 Very early 19th century

00:23:07.980 Well over 200 years ago

00:23:10.120 We used the Royal Navy to

00:23:12.160 Police the oceans around the world

00:23:14.160 In various ways to try and stamp out slavery 0.96

00:23:16.060 We've done more than

00:23:18.160 Any other nation, perhaps in the history

00:23:20.260 Of the world

00:23:21.020 To combat slavery

00:23:23.060 And you guys have still got slavery

00:23:26.380 But we owe you money, do we?

00:23:28.140 Oh right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

00:23:30.000 Right, if you say so

00:23:31.920 18 trillion pounds

00:23:33.540 18 trillion pounds

00:23:36.060 What an absurd number that is

00:23:42.780 Absurd

00:23:46.060 Truly, truly meaningless figure

00:23:49.200 I mean, let's have a quick look at that

00:23:52.420 I've got a page here

00:23:54.740 Yeah, I don't know if you can see that

00:23:56.140 It's quite small

00:23:56.740 Here's a list of the UN nations

00:23:58.640 And what they voted on that UN resolution

00:24:00.700 About slavery

00:24:01.780 You can see there 0.93

00:24:04.720 The green ones

00:24:05.840 And they voted for 0.96

00:24:07.320 For reparations

00:24:09.040 Slavery reparations 0.97

00:24:10.480 Red ones voted against 1.00

00:24:12.120 And the yellow ones abstained 1.00

00:24:14.100 So like Argentina 1.00

00:24:16.000 Israel

00:24:17.520 And the United States

00:24:19.080 Voted against it

00:24:22.100 And a fair few abstained

00:24:26.060 The United Kingdom abstained, didn't we?

00:24:28.880 Yeah

00:24:29.140 We just abstained 1.00

00:24:30.720 You can see the yellows there 1.00

00:24:32.600 A fair few abstained 1.00

00:24:33.920 But loads of countries

00:24:35.180 Loads of them

00:24:36.140 Voted for Gibbs

00:24:38.340 And you know which ones they are

00:24:41.380 It's quite simple which ones they are

00:24:44.060 Just Gibbs, Gibbs, Gibbs, Gibbs, Gibbs

00:24:45.880 And I don't think Reform are saying

00:24:49.080 I don't think Zia Yusuf and Nigel and Reform are saying

00:24:51.520 That they're going to block visas from every single one of these countries

00:24:58.380 That's not what they're saying

00:24:59.340 Because not every single one of these countries

00:25:00.980 Has formally asked for reparations

00:25:03.520 Because that's what reform are saying

00:25:06.960 That it's just the countries that have formally requested reparations

00:25:09.500 Which isn't every single one of these

00:25:11.080 But nonetheless, it's quite a lot of these though

00:25:12.960 It's vast swathes of the world

00:25:14.840 Dozens and dozens and dozens of countries

00:25:16.780 Or like the African bloc that's 55 countries 0.94

00:25:18.960 Boom, right there 0.99

00:25:19.620 So if they did

00:25:22.260 If reform formed the next government

00:25:25.040 And they did actually do this

00:25:27.320 They did actually just block

00:25:28.540 What, just 100% block

00:25:30.080 One more visa from today

00:25:32.040 from all those countries if they did it i don't believe they will but if they did

00:25:37.660 great i'll be up for that that'd be nice yeah 1.00

00:25:41.940 then start looking at deporting foreign nationals that are currently in the country 0.92

00:25:50.980 from those places as well that would be nice wouldn't it all right what else have we got

00:25:59.180 Was there anything in the express

00:26:01.940 Andrew Mountbatten wins a Saxe-Coburg gotha

00:26:06.500 His downfall is utterly depressing

00:26:09.740 It is a bit isn't it

00:26:11.940 It's a bit

00:26:12.420 I've never liked Andrew

00:26:13.300 No one's really ever liked Andrew

00:26:15.060 But it's just

00:26:19.320 It is a bit like sad and depressing now

00:26:22.000 Not that he's got any sympathy from me

00:26:24.400 He doesn't deserve any sympathy

00:26:26.100 he did think he could do anything didn't he almost he thought he could get away with almost

00:26:34.300 anything endlessly never have to answer for himself so the hubris is nice and yet still

00:26:40.200 sort of depressing has anyone out there got andrew fatigue andrew and mandy fatigue epstein fatigue

00:26:48.240 not that that's any sort of expression of let's move on and forget about it the opposite i wrote

00:26:55.900 an article on Lotus Seaters saying I'll never forget about it never never ever ever this is

00:27:01.840 one of those things like for me anyway like the JFK assassination what really really happened on

00:27:07.800 the morning of 9-11 2001 and the Epstein affair I'll never I'll never ever let it go I was saying

00:27:13.620 that I wrote that article at the point a point in time well like two three years ago when there

00:27:22.740 wasn't even anything on the horizon like the Epstein Transparency Act. People being held

00:27:28.720 account, being held to account for their involvement in the Epstein thing. That wasn't even on

00:27:34.540 the horizon and I wrote an article saying I'll never forget this, I'll never let it

00:27:37.600 go. Intermittently from time to time when it's totally not in the news cycle, I'm just

00:27:42.040 going to bring up Epstein stuff. Nonetheless, a bit of Andy fatigue. He'll probably never

00:27:51.880 have to truly truly answer for it he'll never sort of go to america and answer for and answer

00:27:58.280 questions in front of the senate or the congress or anything i'm sure he'll never do that unless

00:28:02.200 he's legally compelled to and then he'll fight that as hard as he possibly can it's always been

00:28:06.840 his sort of personal policy hasn't it to just completely and utterly refuse to answer any real

00:28:15.480 questions about it there's that one car crash interview wasn't there but he got his fingers

00:28:20.920 burnt there you realize well i'm not doing that again i'll just stay silent until my dying day

00:28:26.940 if i'm not legally compelled to say anything it's the only real defense look crazy leftist

00:28:33.420 globalist joanna lumley was targeted by motorbike thugs who tried to steal her car 1.00

00:28:40.040 probably won't change her mind will it about immigration and things almost certainly not

00:28:45.700 she's a lovey to the core

00:28:47.860 too late, 79 years old now

00:28:50.400 too late to change her mind or world views on anything

00:28:52.540 there you go

00:28:54.340 there's that tallest bridge that got blown up the other day

00:28:56.720 we'll probably have lots more images

00:28:58.560 of that in the next 24 hours

00:29:00.820 36 hours, 48 hours

00:29:02.520 loads more

00:29:03.400 loads more bridges exactly like this

00:29:06.420 getting blown to pieces

00:29:07.440 alright

00:29:10.300 okay

00:29:12.600 what else have we got

00:29:14.200 oh yeah just more

00:29:15.480 Raving mad youths clash with riot cops

00:29:19.480 After 2K descended on Quiet Village

00:29:22.660 For illegal rave

00:29:24.400 Okay

00:29:27.780 Are you taking my mouse?

00:29:31.580 Okay

00:29:32.220 My producers

00:29:35.020 I've got two producers this morning

00:29:36.560 Have taken control of my mouse

00:29:38.480 So um

00:29:39.220 Hopefully that heralds

00:29:42.280 Mr Lowe coming on

00:29:44.400 does it

00:29:46.200 little Harry

00:29:49.800 talk to me

00:29:50.400 what's going on

00:30:00.360 for Great Yarmouth

00:30:03.300 as we speak

00:30:03.940 so

00:30:04.660 hold tight

00:30:06.480 hold tight with that

00:30:07.940 on the bow show

00:30:12.320 this is literally

00:30:12.980 the first guest

00:30:13.800 so little harry the producer um you know there's got one or two technical things so i can see

00:30:21.360 i can see mr low on the on my screen here so hopefully any moment

00:30:25.320 all right good well you let me know oh there we go there he is hello can you hear me

00:30:35.080 i can hear you very well i've been able to hear you for a while now but you couldn't hear me i

00:30:40.440 oh okay all right well um mr rupert low mp how are you how are you this is the first time we've

00:30:47.780 ever spoken other than a quick handshake and a quick hello in the office this is the first time

00:30:52.740 i've had a chance to actually talk to you so thank you for your time really appreciate it being the

00:30:57.000 first guest the inaugural guest on on breakfast with bow really appreciate it thank you no that's

00:31:02.740 that's very very good to uh to come on is carl joining us as well or is it just the two of us

00:31:08.400 No, it's just the two of us.

00:31:09.440 Carl doesn't come into the office till usually gone 9am.

00:31:13.380 He works gym sales, that's it, Carl, is it?

00:31:17.260 Yeah.

00:31:18.840 There's no shade.

00:31:19.640 Carl's one of the hardest working, if not the hardest working person at Lotus Eater.

00:31:22.780 So let's get that clear.

00:31:24.560 But yeah, once again, so one of the first things I wanted to say to you is thanks for coming on.

00:31:30.060 Because here at Lotus Eaters, we're more than happy to speak to you.

00:31:33.420 I mean, personally speaking, it's an honour and a pleasure.

00:31:35.480 But a lot of the corporate legacy mainstream media don't seem all that interested, even GB News, don't seem all that interested in talking to you, at least at the moment.

00:31:46.420 Tell us a bit about that.

00:31:49.980 Until Nigel Farage politically assassinated me, along with Lee Anderson and Mohammed Zia Rudin Yusuf, or Zia Yudin Yusuf, basically just over a year ago now.

00:32:03.260 and since then it's sort of dried up

00:32:06.500 and I think really restore Britain

00:32:09.100 growing as it has

00:32:10.660 it's quite extraordinary

00:32:11.700 that a media that sets itself up

00:32:13.780 as effectively independent and impartial

00:32:17.380 particularly the BBC

00:32:18.380 which as you know is a state monopoly

00:32:20.380 they've gradually sort of reduced the amount

00:32:25.640 that they consult or ask me on

00:32:28.120 which I find extraordinary

00:32:29.700 because we are probably

00:32:32.160 the fastest growing political party now in history. And our membership continues to grow

00:32:38.500 every day. I think people can see the gravity of the situation. And I'm concluding as a result of

00:32:44.780 their sort of apparent fear of us that we are the people and they are the establishment who is

00:32:51.660 effectively trying to retain power, even though they have run the country into the ground over

00:32:58.140 the last 30 or 40 years. So I think they've made bad decisions. I think they have not

00:33:04.160 put their own people at the top of the agenda. And we now, I think all of us can see quite

00:33:10.000 how bad it's gone wrong. And look, I mean, we're a different party. I don't plead for

00:33:15.940 people's votes. I say we are here. If you agree that Britain needs to be restored, then

00:33:22.740 vote for us but we are not like politicians who are craving power we we we are an option which

00:33:30.280 people can vote for if they agree with us that things need radical change and if we attain power

00:33:37.400 there will be radical change and the change basically will be that we will put the British

00:33:43.420 people at the top of the agenda and we will protect their interests in every possible way we can

00:33:49.460 great i mean amazing for anyone who might not know just most people that are watching this

00:33:55.480 will probably know all about it but just for perhaps people that do click end up clicking

00:34:00.200 on this video that might not know um you've started your own you've started your own party

00:34:05.780 restore which is now polling i've seen it's called restore it's called restore brick and

00:34:11.740 And if you want the history, I was a reform MP until, as I say, for some extraordinary reason, they tried to politically or did try to politically assassinate me and send me to prison, which is unethical to say the least, given that I've done nothing to even vaguely merit that.

00:34:33.080 And in fact, Nigel Farage told us the truth, which is they didn't like my opinions on mass deportation, which is why they allegedly got rid of me.

00:34:41.740 um then uh after i'd been cleared which i i i knew i would be because i hadn't done anything

00:34:48.260 illegal um i set up a movement because i wanted to unite people and it was called restore britain

00:34:56.580 and then we have turned restore britain now into a political party and we have electoral commission

00:35:03.020 approval so we are now a fully fledged party we are not running in all of the local elections we

00:35:10.700 we're running in Great Yarmouth in the county council elections where we're running under the

00:35:15.820 flag of Great Yarmouth first because we wanted to ensure we had an electorally approved body

00:35:22.620 which was approved before Restore Britain was approved. So the reason we're running in Restore

00:35:29.040 in Great Yarmouth first is because that was the body that effectively got approval first. So we

00:35:35.980 want to show the model that we can win both bottom-up and top-down and we want

00:35:41.620 to start with the County Council elections in Great Yarmouth where there

00:35:45.300 are nine seats we're hoping to win them all and there's also a borough council

00:35:50.420 by-election as a result of somebody sadly dying which we hope to win too

00:35:55.600 which by quote of fate will give us the casting vote on the borough council so

00:36:00.580 we as you probably know we've been very active on all the social media platforms

00:36:05.740 and what we're now doing is setting up branches across the country we are early in that process

00:36:14.360 but people have been incredibly enthusiastic and i think there are a lot of patriots who can see

00:36:20.380 quite what what a bad state the country is in and quite how necessary it is for

00:36:25.920 the british people to actually now take control of the situation and take back their country from

00:36:32.960 people who arguably have lost sight of who they represent and at the next general election you do

00:36:39.520 intend to stand in everywhere it's it's as well we will stand we will stand across the country

00:36:49.360 uh and we're going to start obviously prioritizing seats where we think we will win which is

00:36:54.720 obviously the coastal seats and and the rural seats after what labor's done to the rural economy

00:37:00.100 and to small businesses, I think they've got very little hope in those areas.

00:37:06.480 Obviously, their historic strongholds are in the sort of big conurbations.

00:37:13.320 But again, they have made some very bad decisions over many, many years.

00:37:18.120 And one of the things I've been reading over the weekend is our rate gain report, which is here.

00:37:23.280 That's the draft report of our rate gain inquiry, which we crowdfunded,

00:37:27.320 which frankly when that is published i don't really see how any self-respecting citizen can

00:37:37.320 ever vote for labor again so i i labor has an awful lot of blood on their hands as far as that

00:37:44.280 is concerned um and arguably the tories played a sort of poncious pilot type role in that they

00:37:51.300 didn't do what they should have done when they had the ability to do it so this this cancer was

00:37:56.940 allowed to grow within the gut of Britain. And we have to deal with it before it metastasizes.

00:38:04.060 So that's really where we are. And I look, I'm I'm here if people think that we need change and

00:38:13.460 we will engineer that change. I've got quite a lot of experience, not only in business,

00:38:18.140 but in the city of London and in many other things I've done over my life. And I think we need to

00:38:24.480 have a radical plan to return power to the people to cut the size of the state to deregulate 0.60

00:38:33.360 and to allow people to find their own level make their own relationships and not have them distorted

00:38:39.860 by a state which thinks it is omnipotent and its its job is to tell people how to live their lives

00:38:46.640 and we only have to look at what happened during covid to see that they're capable of making

00:38:51.420 extremely bad decisions that are not in the interests of anybody in this country

00:38:56.040 yeah i mean already polling at something like eight percent some polls will have it

00:39:01.300 i feel like it's some some sort of maybe perfect storm is a bit hyperbolic but

00:39:05.660 the labor are historically unpopular tory is already massively a shadow of a shadow of what

00:39:12.940 they once were reform even not polling massively high between 20 and 30 bit and that's being

00:39:19.300 generous and it feels like to me what do you think about this that you see the amount of uh apathy

00:39:26.100 the the amount of the turnout in in general elections so low that there's so many people

00:39:32.500 that feel disenchanted disenfranchised if i think that people are screaming out for a party like

00:39:38.800 restore britain that it puts the the native people first it doesn't seem like too much to ask but

00:39:46.160 it sort of is if restore britain are the the main option on that in answer to your question

00:39:52.600 the tories and i can't hear him harry they've had a long play they've had a long play with

00:39:59.180 with the toy set and they haven't done very well reform i think is the establishment challenger

00:40:05.140 and as you say they are now coming down in the polls i i my my issue with reform is they don't

00:40:12.540 have a plan and they didn't have a plan uh nigel by his own admission says he doesn't do detail

00:40:18.380 and as we can see uh that that that shows through in the way in which the party is is structured

00:40:24.800 uh the lib the lib dems i mean i can't really take them seriously ed davie uh plays his stunts

00:40:31.780 and messes around but he's a bit laughable and then frankly how anyone can vote for the green

00:40:37.100 party i i saw zach polanski up on a stage dancing with some bloke in a gimp outfit holding his crux

00:40:44.940 uh and and and sort of jiving along to the crowd i mean quite how anyone other than a complete

00:40:51.280 lunatic could think that they are the road to to restoration i'm not quite sure but maybe i have

00:40:58.860 to respect the fact that there are people out there who probably don't look at life in the same

00:41:03.700 way as I do but um if that didn't put you off then I don't know what will you know there's quite a

00:41:10.380 lot of sick degenerate lefties in this country Rupert I'm afraid isn't there unfortunately let's

00:41:14.420 be perfectly honest about it um I wonder if this morning I would love to get just your take on a

00:41:19.960 couple of things because it would be great to just flesh out some of your thoughts and feelings and

00:41:24.420 your takes on almost day-to-day things so for example in the news this morning it's mainly

00:41:30.000 donald trump so i a bit of foreign policy um obviously the artemis thing um but nice to know

00:41:36.540 just your thoughts and things on that and well health policy right this doctor strike can we

00:41:40.600 start with that a bit a little bit about health policy if you were the prime minister if you

00:41:46.460 found yourself prime minister what would you do about um the british medical association and these

00:41:51.940 doctors and their strikes what and the nhs in general i mean how would you what's your grand

00:41:57.600 met a plan for dealing with that whole car crash of a thing well i i think you have to look at the

00:42:05.380 genesis of the national health service and and as you know like the bbc it is a state monopoly

00:42:10.800 and all monopolies in the end become inefficient and malign and i i think that applies to the nhs

00:42:18.160 now obviously the intent of the n8 for the nhs was a benevolent uh uh sort of structure to provide

00:42:26.920 health care for the entire country. But what it's become is a grossly inefficient, politicized,

00:42:37.240 arguably malign organization that fails at almost everything it tries to do. And what you're

00:42:44.720 actually seeing is you're seeing it fail, but its failures result either in the death of people with

00:42:49.660 cancer, in which case that problem goes away, or it results in people basically ending up having

00:42:56.680 to pay for their own treatment because the NHS is so inefficient that the waiting list is so long

00:43:02.300 and people in the end find they can't live with the kind of discomfort that they get from a hip

00:43:10.000 that's gone or a knee that's gone or other sort of elective surgeries that need to be done in order

00:43:16.400 to relieve pain and allow people to live their lives properly. So in the end what happens is

00:43:21.620 effectively, by doing nothing, what they're doing is collecting vast amounts of national

00:43:27.540 insurance from employers, particularly now, as a result of what Rachel Reeves did at the last

00:43:32.820 budget. And it's put a huge further tax on jobs. The employees pay a little bit. But at the end of 0.99

00:43:40.860 the day, what is the answer for the NHS? Well, the answer is radical overhaul. And I'm intent,

00:43:48.360 first of all in dealing with the key issues at the top of the tree the NHS is a big issue I think

00:43:55.000 it's got a a very bad approach to the way in which it runs itself and that needs to be radically

00:44:02.080 changed but rather than shooting from the hip I think what we've got to do is gain power

00:44:07.560 put in the necessary reforms at the top of top level which we are showing people what we would

00:44:16.200 do with immigration we've written a mass deportation paper which explains the problems that we've

00:44:22.140 currently got and and the solutions that we see so people can actually look and and and debate that

00:44:29.080 we're doing the same for an economic policy we're doing the same for our defense and borders policy

00:44:34.560 we're doing we've got a paper on coming out on student debt which i think is another big problem

00:44:40.120 needs to be dealt with and and so i i mean answer your question i'm i'm not going to give a glib

00:44:46.760 response but what i do think is the nhs is broken and and it's it's a fraud i i i'm afraid that it

00:44:54.820 doesn't do what it says it should be doing it is not an health service uh it's failing to deliver

00:45:02.700 what it should be delivering and it's wasting vast amounts of taxpayers money

00:45:08.420 Not fit for purpose. I mean, as you say, the genesis of it, the late 1940s, right? Wasn't it, Clement Attlee?

00:45:14.620 So we just don't live in that world anymore in many, many different ways, including, of course, the amount of immigration that has come to this country.

00:45:22.160 Millions and millions, tens of millions of extra people.

00:45:25.140 So let's just get straight to that then, because as I think quite rightly you say, many, many, many other policy questions are downstream of immigration.

00:45:35.720 and you've said in the video you started when you started the party you said millions must go and

00:45:41.340 you've said you've said similar things before so in the news this morning reform have said that

00:45:48.140 they would like to stop all visas from any countries that asked and formally asked for

00:45:51.180 reparations for example but one of the criticisms that some people that are not on the restore

00:45:57.080 britain bandwagon have said that there's not a great deal of difference between yours and nigel's

00:46:03.480 immigration policy i think that's absolutely not true but can you tell us where there's clear light

00:46:11.080 between you and nigel on immigration tell us i think you've only got to watch nigel's interviews

00:46:16.920 and my interviews and he's gone quite again harry greeners sorry um harry harry sorry rupert

00:46:25.400 go ahead

00:46:30.100 are you alright now

00:46:32.900 slight technical issue

00:46:40.300 okay

00:46:41.220 okay they've got a thumbs up

00:46:44.580 you alright now

00:46:45.940 yes we're good now thank you

00:46:47.560 so you've only got to look at the difference

00:46:50.400 between my interviews and Nigel's interviews

00:46:52.160 to see there is a complete difference and as I just said

00:46:54.400 to you, the reason Nigel gave

00:46:56.380 publicly the other day for

00:46:58.000 removing the air

00:46:59.340 was that

00:47:01.280 my views

00:47:04.280 on immigration

00:47:06.040 were not acceptable and that

00:47:08.060 he actually misquoted

00:47:10.100 me. I've never said we should deport

00:47:11.800 vast whole communities

00:47:13.920 of British passport holders.

00:47:16.240 I've never said that. What I've said

00:47:18.160 is we should start with the people arriving 1.00

00:47:20.080 illegally and we should detain and deport 1.00

00:47:22.220 them. We should then find 1.00

00:47:24.100 the people living here illegally and we should detain and deport them. Illegal means illegal 1.00

00:47:29.660 in my book. And if you or I do something illegal, we end up in court, which is what happens

00:47:36.620 when you break the law. And illegal means breaking the law. And then I said I would

00:47:42.640 turn my attention to, after I deported the 10,500 foreign criminals in our prisons, I 1.00

00:47:49.120 turn my attention to those people who are living here who've come here and who have effectively 0.60

00:47:55.440 been welcomed here who are effectively not contributing to britain who are claiming

00:48:02.800 benefits and who are a cost to the british taxpayer and i will turn my attention to them

00:48:07.760 and rather in the same way that denmark and sweden are doing it now having pursued very misguided

00:48:14.000 policies in in 2015 they are actually encouraging people to leave the country

00:48:20.400 uh who are not making a contribution and um hoping to return places like malmo which was 0.77

00:48:26.720 extremely safe and very civilized it's now become one of the crime centers of europe

00:48:32.880 and they're hoping obviously to restore that to to the way it was and that means basically getting

00:48:38.720 people, getting rid of people who aren't contributing and who don't integrate and don't share the

00:48:44.900 view that our culture is the way they want to live their life. And I'm quite straightforward

00:48:49.540 in my view. If you don't like our culture and you don't like the fact that we live in

00:48:54.900 a Christian country, then go and live somewhere else. Don't darken our doorstep. Why do you 0.99

00:49:01.220 need to do that? There can't be a reason other than a bad reason for living here if you don't

00:49:07.140 agree with the way in which we live our lives and the culture that we have built up around us

00:49:12.100 okay so those a few different types of people you've described there would add up to millions

00:49:20.340 i would have thought but some of those it's in our document we've actually documented

00:49:25.880 how many people we we think can be removed from the country without even starting to encourage

00:49:35.120 people to uh leave in the way in which sweden and denmark are doing it's all in the document

00:49:40.400 have you read the doc if you read the document i'm very happy to answer any questions on on that i

00:49:46.320 mean we you know we we we're it took us a long time it's been beautifully written it's extremely

00:49:52.080 clear uh we we tell people which laws need to be amended or repealed uh and and and we talk about

00:50:00.160 creating uh effectively uh an unfriendly environment uh making it difficult for people

00:50:07.360 to come here unless there's a reason for them coming here to contribute to the british economy

00:50:12.480 uh i mean i'm not against targeted immigration which is going to benefit britain but you know i

00:50:19.920 i i that is very is very small quantities and it's people who want to come here who want to

00:50:26.240 integrate and you want to contribute i mean looking at today the labor party i think the

00:50:32.560 most important thing that's happened and we had a go at rachel reeves over the weekend i did a

00:50:38.080 little clip yesterday on it uh obviously this raising the two child benefit cap it is in my 1.00

00:50:44.160 view lunacy uh you know the country can't afford it uh she is taxing small businesses and farms 1.00

00:50:53.040 with inheritance tax, which will ultimately force a lot of them out of business. 1.00

00:50:58.920 The whole point of having a tax-free inheritance approach to small businesses and farms

00:51:05.940 is that they're capital-hungry and very often not necessarily profit-rich.

00:51:12.260 But what you need is continuity and investment in order to drive that.

00:51:16.000 So that's the backbone of Britain.

00:51:18.420 And what Labour's doing is breaking the backbone of Britain.

00:51:21.180 in order to effectively tax and destroy the hard-working, decent people of Middle England 0.90

00:51:28.340 and fund the indolent who aren't working, who choose to have lots of children 1.00

00:51:34.160 that they can't afford to keep, and very often those are foreigners who come here. 0.94

00:51:39.340 So the whole policy is complete lunacy, but Starmer and his Trump bench, as you know, 1.00

00:51:46.700 are extremely inexperienced when it comes to understanding very much because none of them

00:51:52.780 have done very much other than climb their way up the greasy political pole and you know they

00:51:59.200 they just don't didn't have the stomach to fight their rather left-wing back benches who were

00:52:05.580 threatening to revolt and as a result they caved in so again that's something which

00:52:10.620 is just it's just not affordable britain britain's economy is no longer what it used to be it's not

00:52:18.040 generating huge amounts of wealth and very often if you want to have welfare you have to have

00:52:24.000 a vibrant economy to pay for it you can't have the welfare without generating uh the wealth

00:52:31.480 through hard work and we're not doing that at the moment we're not investing long term

00:52:35.960 we aren't like victorian britain creating vast wealth we are living on our reputation and that

00:52:43.260 can't go on forever so when you talk about a policy of of of remigration just explicitly

00:52:49.720 talking about mass remigration how do you feel when you see scenes in parliament when people

00:52:56.680 talk about just merely the small boat crisis and the other side or quite often many many members

00:53:01.880 just immediately subvert that conversation into not only is that not really a problem but we need

00:53:08.100 more safe and legal routes you hear that over and over again try and start a conversation about

00:53:13.520 immigration you just get no more more safe and legal routes what do you think when you see and

00:53:20.020 hear that that that dialogue the dynamic of that well i think i've set out my view i i i will

00:53:27.140 you know illegal immigration needs to be stopped you know people talk about asylum seekers they're

00:53:33.480 not asylum seekers they're economic migrants and they're economic migrants who aren't going 0.99

00:53:38.900 to contribute economically and they're coming here illegally that's the most important thing 1.00

00:53:43.400 if you want to come and live here apply to come and live here legally and justify coming here 0.99

00:53:48.440 and then when you get here contribute and integrate if you're not going to do that then

00:53:53.360 don't come so i mean i i'm not really interested in safe routes i'm i'm interested in protecting

00:54:01.400 our borders and ensuring that those people who come here come here because they want to be here

00:54:05.720 and they want to contribute they respect our history and our culture uh and actually they

00:54:11.060 they they they agree with the way in which we live our lives and if they don't don't bother

00:54:16.020 to come stay where stay where you are okay fine okay a couple more things if i might just because

00:54:22.920 it's in the news today just just quickly i'd like to just get your thoughts and feelings on a couple

00:54:27.160 of other different things i mean when you see the artemis 2 mission going around the moon

00:54:30.700 how do you what are your thoughts and feelings when you see something like that

00:54:34.760 well i remember the uh the first uh moon landing which was which was a child you must have been

00:54:41.280 young i'm 68 now so yes i really of course i was i was probably what 10 or 11 years old so yeah i

00:54:48.740 mean it was huge news we didn't have all the digital platforms we've got now people used to

00:54:53.460 huddle around the television and it was it was massive news um so it's it's taken a long time

00:55:00.720 to do this again but look i mean for man to uh travel the farthest away from earth that we've

00:55:09.420 ever traveled obviously is in itself an exciting thing um i mean there are many other things that

00:55:15.840 are arguably more important going on in the world at the moment but of course it's of course it's

00:55:21.440 something to celebrate and be excited about but um have i been huddled around the television like

00:55:28.260 i was in in in in the 60s no no i i haven't it's not quite as amazing as actual boots on the ground

00:55:36.780 but you say it segues nicely into the next question i want to ask you then about that

00:55:40.680 there's other things going on in the world a little bit about foreign policy then if i may

00:55:44.720 little bit with trump and iran you know it's the biggest thing going on at the moment again if you

00:55:50.080 found yourself in power had you been in power right now if you'd been prime minister right now

00:55:55.180 for example how would you have dealt with it would you have done something similar to how

00:55:59.640 starmer's dealing with it what are your thoughts and feelings just about what's going down in the

00:56:04.760 middle east at the moment mr trump's war well i think in the end i've i've said on rec on record

00:56:12.500 that I would put the interests of Britain at the top of the agenda.

00:56:16.460 And I think it's fair to say that Britain,

00:56:20.540 whilst we have always played and should play a supporting role

00:56:25.280 in what I call the Anglo-Saxon hegemony,

00:56:29.260 which is effectively, they're the freedom-loving nations of the world.

00:56:33.700 So obviously New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Britain and the USA,

00:56:38.200 the people who effectively ensured that europe was free from from from authoritarian dictatorship

00:56:45.220 and who has played a huge part in setting up nato and policing the world but the truth is we haven't

00:56:53.460 as i say got an economy that can fund our own health service we haven't got an economy that

00:56:59.080 can fund the welfare we're chucking around at the moment we've been relying on quantitative easing

00:57:04.040 now for far too long. And I think we have to be real about the capability of our army, our navy,

00:57:10.040 and our air force. So obviously, within that, there's only one country that's capable of doing

00:57:17.160 what Trump is doing in Iran right now, and that is the USA. Clearly, we should obviously

00:57:25.920 support where it's necessary. But I think what we have to do is we have to put Britain's interests

00:57:33.160 at the top of the agenda. And I think there's a lot of rebuilding to be done in Britain. There's

00:57:40.540 a lot of reality that needs to flow back through the veins of the country. And we need to stop

00:57:47.340 deluding ourselves that we still have this vast amount of Victorian wealth, which has carried us

00:57:54.340 through over the last hundred years, really. And we built up the most massive wealth, which has now

00:58:02.240 dissipated and we're not creating very much wealth now. So the answer to your question is

00:58:08.500 obviously global peace and global security is incredibly important and we should ensure that

00:58:15.700 we play a role in that. But I think in answer to your question, we've got an awful lot to do

00:58:22.340 to concentrate on our own knitting before we start worrying about what's going on in other

00:58:28.300 parts of the world. We should start by ensuring that we have a country that's at peace with

00:58:35.480 itself, that is prosperous, that is protecting the interests of its citizens, rather than

00:58:41.200 going to wage global warfare, which we are certainly not equipped to fight. America is

00:58:48.480 equipped to fight it. She has all the resources. She's invested in her armed forces, and she

00:58:53.820 has a structure to do it. We don't. And the world has relied on the US to protect freedom 1.00

00:59:01.480 since the war. Indeed, we relied on America to win both the First World War and the Second

00:59:07.460 World War without her economy and without her support. Woodrow Wilson in the First World

00:59:15.100 War and obviously Roosevelt in the Second World War after Pearl Harbor. We effectively

00:59:20.720 we've relied on them and we obviously as I think people have said in the past we are their oldest

00:59:29.000 ally and so we should be but for the fact arguably we messed it up America would still be

00:59:36.680 part of the UK unfortunately historically you can't undo those things which we did badly in

00:59:44.760 the past um so look i i mean we need to play our part we need to support we have bases in places

00:59:51.160 that are necessary uh those those should be those should be available are we in a position to uh

00:59:59.240 start getting involved uh and and and you know hurling munitions around the world probably not

01:00:07.480 okay yeah if only we'd won the war of 1812 a rupert how things might have been different um

01:00:13.720 Well, quickly, then, just to build on that, would you increase military spending then if it were up to you?

01:00:20.620 I would. I would. Yes, I think I think we I think Donald Trump's quite right.

01:00:25.280 Britain and Europe, particularly Europe, has not invested sufficiently in in defence.

01:00:33.260 We have relied on the US. And I think he makes a very good point when he says everybody should be contributing to global security.

01:00:41.520 We, as it happens, have actually spent a lot more than Germany and other sort of countries in Europe.

01:00:50.620 But, yeah, I think we should be building up.

01:00:53.440 I think we should be building up our armed forces.

01:00:58.140 We should be building up our border control, building up our defences generally.

01:01:02.820 And, as you know, from war comes innovation.

01:01:06.140 and i think we should be learning as much as we possibly can from what's been going on in ukraine

01:01:11.600 who would have thought that before the ukraine war and which is the large reason why why russia

01:01:17.220 didn't invade ukraine was that actually warfare has changed so it is now not just about sort of

01:01:23.640 lines of tanks tanks can now very easily be destroyed by drones so i look i mean historically

01:01:30.220 innovation comes from war sadly and we should be learning from that and then developing

01:01:36.280 our own defense with a view to as i say protecting the interests of the british people

01:01:42.820 but you have to be taken seriously and you have to make people know that if you need to

01:01:49.700 you will defend your borders you will defend your country you will defend your heritage and your

01:01:54.740 history and you can't do that if you haven't invested in your armed forces good point great

01:02:01.600 point um one other thing i appreciate uh all your time i don't want to keep you take up your whole

01:02:06.360 morning um but if i could ask one more question before we go you said a little moment ago sort of

01:02:12.480 sort of this sort of a grander zoomed out meta point you mentioned about a smaller state so this

01:02:18.940 is sort of an overview sort of question but it talks about a smaller state um i'm for that i've

01:02:23.160 got some mild libertarian type leanings i would like to see a smaller state so you're talking

01:02:28.880 about less less spending less taxing less spending talk to me a little bit about your thoughts and

01:02:35.140 feelings about about that well if you if you're if you read the austrian school economist

01:02:39.720 the state makes bad decisions the individual makes good decisions and also you find the state

01:02:49.980 distorts human relationships which is what it's doing all the time and and humans uh on the whole

01:02:57.080 aren't equal I think it was Solzhenitsyn who said um people are born with different capabilities

01:03:03.480 if they're if they're equal they're not free and if they're free they're not equal and I and I

01:03:09.260 think in in a nutshell he's absolutely right um because humans are different they have different

01:03:15.900 skills they have different viewpoints and they have different abilities and you have to respect

01:03:20.780 the fact that people are different the state doesn't do that the state tries to shoehorn

01:03:26.600 everybody into one structure which is indeed what it's doing if you look at making tax digital which

01:03:33.560 is most people won't know about that but it's again just an excuse to try and shoehorn everybody

01:03:39.500 into a structure which will allow the state to effectively dictate and control which is not what

01:03:47.820 we want so the digital revolution has been great for for freeing people but it's equally I think

01:03:54.480 a danger in terms of it can be used to gate people in and and control them so no I'm a great sort of

01:04:01.780 Austrian school economist I like low taxes small state and I like people to interface with each

01:04:09.140 other and find their own level and and you tend to find that when that happens uh you know probably

01:04:15.720 like me there are many people who are more intelligent and more able than i am and i sort

01:04:20.400 of know who they are uh there are many people who are less able and less intelligent than me and i

01:04:25.440 sort of know who they are and everybody finds their own level and the whole thing works whereas

01:04:30.880 if you if you end up with a sort of statist approach i mean look at just look at the front

01:04:36.740 bench of the Labour Party none of them are fit or capable to be running this country they are

01:04:45.220 they have no experience other than a bit of political gerrymandering either at first probably

01:04:51.200 usually at council level then followed by political level so no I look I think I think

01:04:59.360 the Fabian society plays it big it runs deep through the Labour Party as you probably know

01:05:04.400 um no i i like low taxes simple taxes as thomas jefferson said everybody should know exactly how

01:05:13.720 much they're paying and tax should be through the payroll i.e through income tax so that you and i

01:05:20.520 know exactly what we're paying and what we're getting for it but instead george osborne has

01:05:25.660 introduced taxes on you know stealth taxes on insurance you know he's he doesn't index various

01:05:32.160 sort of um levels which again are stealth taxes uh you've got you've got stealth taxes literally

01:05:38.580 everywhere and and that is dishonest so what you need is honest taxation which is transparent

01:05:44.920 taxation and you need it to be as low as possible and allow people to keep and spend their own money

01:05:50.980 and and find their own level with each other and then you get long-term investment you get you get

01:05:57.660 basically a country which operates properly uh it's when you have statism and central planning

01:06:03.980 such as you had in the ussr that you get uh misallocation of capital you get investment

01:06:10.740 in the wrong things at the wrong time i mean just look at covid just look at the appalling

01:06:17.120 decisions that were made during covid harry can you hear that sorry rupert one moment harry can

01:08:40.920 of april on this day in 30 ad that would be so the age of what tiberius isn't it tiberius would

01:08:49.640 have been roman emperor i believe scholars estimate for the crucifixion of of jesus by roman troops in

01:08:56.180 jerusalem they think it might have been april the third in the year 30 ad they argue just to say

01:09:02.900 before you go crazy in the chat there's loads of argument about that the historicity of christ

01:09:08.580 exactly when it would have been you know if he was born in the age of augustus

01:09:13.560 and died executed in the age of tiberius you know you'll find people saying no it's 33 ad

01:09:20.480 some people say no that couldn't be right it must be 32 ad anyway on this website on this day in

01:09:27.240 history they're saying it's 30 ad i've seen it at various different dates okay on this day in 529

01:09:36.420 again AD

01:09:37.220 the first draft

01:09:38.580 of the Corpus Juris Civilis

01:09:40.440 or otherwise known

01:09:41.460 as the Justinian Code

01:09:42.780 is first issued

01:09:44.080 in the Byzantine Empire

01:09:45.940 the Eastern Roman Empire

01:09:46.920 talked all about

01:09:48.000 Justinian before

01:09:48.680 haven't I

01:09:49.040 a number of times

01:09:49.760 well I haven't got content

01:09:52.140 all about

01:09:52.620 all about Justinian

01:09:54.380 Harry

01:09:54.780 on Epochs

01:09:58.700 my history theme show

01:09:59.560 behind the pain wall

01:10:00.300 on lotusetus.com

01:10:01.380 consider signing up

01:10:02.800 for bronze tier membership

01:10:03.920 as little as £5 a month

01:10:04.920 you want long-form content of me talking all about Justinian the first oh yeah

01:10:10.300 it's there hours of it yeah he decided he'd have to gather together all the a

01:10:17.540 code of laws all the laws was it a Trebonian one of his chancellors or not

01:10:22.780 chance but one of his senior ministers Trebonian was charged with making the

01:10:28.640 complete mess that was Byzantine law into one sort of code and it's still used as a basis for

01:10:37.660 common law in all sorts of ways to this day I mean you know like Henry II or Napoleon

01:10:43.640 borrow heavily from it so really important thing if you're interested in the history of

01:10:49.960 sort of law okay on this day 1948 the World Health Organization is formed by the United Nations

01:10:55.540 how'd that work out for everyone it didn't get completely subverted and try and put the whole

01:11:00.400 world under house arrest no the world health organization when trump left the world health

01:11:05.560 organization i thought that was great funny and great and overdue okay on this day in 1954 us

01:11:12.620 president dwight d eisenhower in a news conference is the first of worst fear of a domino effect

01:11:17.800 of communism in indo-china you know the idea that if this one country falls this one domino

01:11:26.460 like vietnam french indo-china if that falls to communism then the next thing will be thailand and

01:11:33.660 the next thing will be and in the end the whole of southeast asia will like dominoes will fall to

01:11:38.600 communism okay many historians liberal historians since have completely ridiculed that entire

01:11:45.760 concept i don't think that's necessarily remember it's the cold war remember the soviets were

01:11:51.580 actively proactively trying to flip any countries they could to their side of the equation not that

01:11:58.760 america weren't trying to do that as well so i don't think the domino effect was complete paranoid

01:12:04.980 nonsense at all anyway historians argue about that and i'm sure will continue to on this day

01:12:12.840 1968 riots continue in over 100 us cities following the assassination of martin luther king

01:12:18.500 jr there you go and some recent uh files were released in the last year or two wasn't it about

01:12:26.080 possible things that went on which we've only just found out about concerning the murder of

01:12:34.460 martin luther king okay and on this day 1969 the internet's symbolic birth date 1969 that's very

01:12:41.080 early on was it like one of the first networks ever or something but okay there's a few tidbits

01:12:47.260 about um on this day in history let's do our rumble rents and super chats

01:12:52.480 can you bring up on my screen the uh rumble rents and super chats okay thank you very much

01:12:57.340 all right rumble rents first always rumble rents first global church history in at number one

01:13:02.620 every single day almost without fail still and still in at number one global church history

01:13:11.380 he says on this day and he always gives us an extra on this day tidbit doesn't he on this day

01:13:16.540 1141 empress matilda came to the throne that's um in in britain she's the mother of henry ii

01:13:26.440 Isn't she

01:13:26.880 You've got the 0.95

01:13:29.300 You've got the whole era of the anarchy 0.98

01:13:31.800 Between Empress Matilda 0.93

01:13:34.560 Nominee Empress

01:13:36.440 And

01:13:38.040 Stephen of Blois

01:13:39.560 Got long form content

01:13:42.720 All about that on Epochs

01:13:43.820 And on my own history channel

01:13:45.680 History Bro

01:13:46.360 Talking all about the anarchy

01:13:48.320 Long form content

01:13:49.700 Yeah

01:13:52.000 There was a civil war

01:13:52.980 In the 12th century

01:13:54.400 Basically a civil war

01:13:55.640 Between Stephen of Blois

01:13:57.520 And the Empress Matilda

01:14:00.100 Okay, because Henry I died

01:14:01.860 And he only had a daughter

01:14:03.960 Her

01:14:04.480 And people had been sworn

01:14:07.920 To recognise her as like

01:14:09.760 Some sort of female king

01:14:10.980 Weird but 1.00

01:14:12.660 And they said they would

01:14:14.220 And then the old king dies

01:14:15.600 And they don't

01:14:16.220 And there's rebellion

01:14:16.840 One of her

01:14:18.420 I think he's a cousin of hers isn't he

01:14:20.280 Stephen of Blois

01:14:20.960 I think he's a cousin

01:14:21.820 And he thinks he can take the throne for himself

01:14:24.820 20 odd years is it is it as long as that 20 odd years of just complete civil war and uh misery

01:14:30.360 off the back of that all right uh so global church history says empress matilda came to the throne

01:14:36.180 also it's my little sister anna's 20th birthday well happy birthday anna

01:14:41.380 anna church history your surname is church history

01:14:46.460 sorry happy birthday and happy 20th uh to be 20 again

01:14:53.240 in some ways i'm very very glad i'm not 20 in various ways the world the way the world's going

01:15:03.940 that uphill climb of life in other ways would love to be 20 again right i'd love it anyway

01:15:09.820 happy birthday anna and she wanted to say she loves f1 and always loves hearing you talk about

01:15:16.000 it oh cool yeah i love f1 they're a hiatus at the moment isn't i think there's like four isn't it

01:15:20.440 even a five-week hiatus, because there was supposed to be a Bahrain Grand Prix and a

01:15:28.200 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Both those have been cancelled. So we've got quite a few weeks without

01:15:34.600 any F1 now. Anyway, most of the audience of the Bo Show don't like F1, so I have to keep it to a

01:15:41.820 minimum but i love it too good girl anna loves f1 nice okay 14 barber says morning all thank you

01:15:51.420 to the next prime minister for coming on the only worthwhile breakfast show

01:15:56.580 you know what you can do what's jeremy kyle come on get real mike graham

01:16:01.720 don't watch mike graham it's gross i can't wait for the artemis re-entry next

01:16:09.560 this has been a terrific mission uh thus far have you been to um a WEC race no I haven't I haven't

01:16:19.600 I've very rarely been to any races actually personally physically going there myself

01:16:22.840 went to Brands Hatch once when I was like 12 or something um I never really attend races watch

01:16:30.040 them on watch loads on tv or on youtube loads but hardly ever if ever go to go to these things

01:16:36.400 i'd like to i'd really like to go to a british grand prix one day that would be cool the thing

01:16:42.100 is when you actually go to these things the reality is you get a better view on tv

01:16:48.220 you stand there and like unless you've got a very very good vantage point you stand there and they

01:16:53.120 go and that's it until they come around again and say it's like going to a live concert

01:16:59.240 you're probably not going to get a great view of it right it's nice to be there in person but

01:17:08.580 seeing a professionally edited video is is actually better in in various ways but anyway

01:17:15.260 now i'd like to go to the british grand prix if the weather was nice if it's not one of the rainy

01:17:18.820 ones really hot one that'd be cool okay base distance says hold fast you sons of albion all

01:19:00.060 A great, great politician in various ways

01:19:02.600 Anyway, alright

01:19:03.640 Tomcat247 says

01:19:07.420 What does Mr Lowe think of Heinleinianism?

01:19:12.860 Like Heinlein

01:19:13.760 Robert Heinlein, right?

01:19:15.060 The Starship Troopers

01:19:17.720 And many other books

01:19:19.080 Well, if he ever comes back on

01:19:21.700 I can ask him some of these questions

01:19:22.980 If he ever comes back on, fingers crossed he will

01:19:25.420 Maybe we'll put something out there on Twitter

01:19:27.940 Or on the website

01:19:29.000 To maybe get you guys to throw questions in

01:19:31.920 Because I haven't seen these until now

01:19:33.600 So sorry, I couldn't have asked him in real time

01:19:36.260 And we'll pick out some of the best ones

01:19:39.140 Because that's a good question

01:19:39.980 It's a very good question, I'd love to ask him that

01:19:41.700 I wonder what he'd say

01:19:42.740 You say, what does he think of Heinleinianism?

01:19:49.080 say that ten times fast

01:19:50.520 the vote and standing in parliament

01:19:53.860 only to ex-servicemen

01:19:55.960 and two plus terms

01:19:57.440 for ethnically British mothers

01:19:59.420 of three or more

01:20:00.620 ok yeah a number of questions there would be nice to ask him

01:20:03.840 it would be interesting to ask him wouldn't it

01:20:21.820 Knocking 2,500 votes on our poll today. 1.00

01:20:26.140 I think that's got to be a Bosho record. 1.00

01:20:29.400 I don't remember it ever being as high as that.

01:20:33.860 Nearly 2,500 votes.

01:20:35.680 We asked you,

01:20:37.780 do you want Trump to bomb Iran back to the Stone Age?

01:20:41.120 Not whether you think he will.

01:20:42.340 Do you want him to?

01:20:44.100 Okay.

01:20:46.380 Yes, 30%.

01:20:47.920 no 52% maybe 17% and there you go so the no's have it the no's have it

01:20:56.980 52% big chunk for you though almost a third say yes 17% which is not negligible

01:24:18.340 So succinct

01:24:19.060 Perfect

01:24:20.040 Tom Roussel

01:24:21.660 Survive the jive

01:24:26.460 Exclamation mark

01:24:27.140 yeah great brilliant LJMV again

01:24:29.280 says Trump is doing a good

01:24:31.240 job of ruining

01:24:32.580 right wing parties around

01:24:35.200 the world with his reckless behaviour

01:24:36.880 look what happened in the Canada election

01:24:39.160 yeah

01:24:41.260 I mean it's

01:24:42.880 that Canada thing that Mark

01:24:45.100 Carney win in Canada

01:24:46.180 does seem like

01:24:48.780 it's difficult not to see that as some

01:24:51.180 sort of knee jerk

01:24:53.240 reaction against Trump amongst the

01:24:55.200 Canadian electorate isn't it

01:24:57.120 yeah

01:25:00.640 I mean

01:25:01.620 okay

01:25:02.600 it looked like

01:25:04.220 the

01:25:04.520 more right leaning guy

01:25:06.960 although I don't think

01:25:07.560 he was

01:25:07.940 I think he was still

01:25:08.880 a globalist really

01:25:09.900 but it looked like

01:25:10.720 he was set to win

01:25:11.420 wasn't it

01:25:11.700 all the polls were going to win

01:25:12.600 and then

01:25:13.740 then Carney wins

01:25:15.020 at the last minute

01:25:15.620 okay

01:25:16.080 alright

01:25:16.520 the Fenlander

01:25:18.460 1665 says

01:25:19.460 two producers

01:25:20.460 Bo sending

01:25:21.580 Bo sending you

01:25:23.420 too much coin

01:25:24.180 no not enough

01:25:26.400 we needed two producers

01:25:27.140 well even two producers

01:25:28.040 weren't enough to

01:25:28.820 prevent the technical issue

01:25:30.360 was it

01:25:30.660 so

01:25:30.920 we'll try and get it all

01:25:32.480 ironed out

01:25:32.960 we'll try and get it all

01:25:33.700 ironed out

01:25:34.220 but thank you for the

01:25:35.740 super chat

01:25:36.280 so Jutes says

01:25:37.380 Britain is lucky to have

01:25:38.720 Rupert Lowe in Parliament

01:25:39.620 he's pretty much the best

01:25:41.160 one isn't he

01:25:41.680 I can't think of anyone

01:25:42.980 else even remotely close 1.00

01:25:44.280 that's actually a sitting

01:25:45.720 MP

01:25:46.080 Britain is lucky to have

01:25:49.220 Rupert Lowe in Parliament

01:25:50.020 a man of honour

01:25:50.940 in a den of thieves

01:25:52.340 the rest of us only have 0.99

01:25:55.740 thieves ruling our kleptocracies are you from Norway is that right N-O-K is that Norwegian 0.99

01:26:03.200 yeah no Rupert Lowe's great isn't he he's one of the best ones if not the best one right 0.97

01:26:10.360 literally the best one what a state of affairs what an indictment that is is that there's like

01:26:16.020 one one MP that's actually sort of nativist wants to put the the people of these islands first

01:26:23.160 what a harsh

01:26:24.940 harsh reality that is

01:26:27.060 there's one dude

01:26:30.320 and they try to put him in jail

01:26:31.920 try and silence him, try and ignore him

01:26:34.320 at every turn

01:26:35.240 try and pour cold water on

01:26:37.760 anything he tries to do or say

01:26:39.700 mad, mad isn't it

01:26:42.700 alright Mr Pastry

01:28:09.540 What are your thoughts on Prince William

01:28:13.160 just that

01:28:14.580 my thoughts on Prince William

01:28:16.260 he's weak isn't he

01:28:18.160 he's a globalist basically

01:28:19.140 they send him on

01:28:20.080 he's just like his father

01:28:21.080 they send him on tours

01:28:22.000 around the world

01:28:22.640 and he's like

01:28:23.640 fawning

01:28:24.300 pearl clutching

01:28:25.740 no backbone

01:28:28.600 yeah

01:28:30.240 he's just another

01:28:31.400 he's just a nothing

01:28:32.700 just a nothing man

01:28:33.780 isn't he

01:28:35.080 it's probably for the best though

01:28:37.200 I don't want an ultra strong monarch

01:28:39.020 who's going to start

01:28:39.860 sticking their oar in

01:28:41.020 in policy

01:28:41.600 it would be nice if they were

01:28:42.460 it'd be nice if they were patriotic and nativist and based but they don't need to be they've got

01:28:47.860 no real power but that would be nice wouldn't it william isn't any of those things is he

01:28:51.320 he's not he's sort of a nothing man again another one

01:28:57.380 that's my feelings on william if he keeps his nose out of government and policy that's about
