00:01:29.180 producer little harry how are you this morning good sir morning yeah i'm all good

00:01:32.280 it's embodied voice of the producer there all right so what's all this faffing about for that

00:01:37.440 why are we fannying about why don't we just get on with it there's no need for all that

00:01:40.180 faffing is there what's the legacy corporate mainstream media talking about today what's

00:01:46.540 that cabal of evil fleet street editors trying to tell you is or isn't important

00:01:49.840 Okay, it's another football day on the front pages anyway

00:01:52.580 And I know the glorious band The Chosen For You don't care particularly about that

00:01:56.900 So we'll whip through all that relatively quickly

00:02:00.000 And talk about other stories that are in the news cycle this morning

00:02:02.820 But it's a bit of a football day

00:02:04.360 Well, there is one story around the football

00:02:06.420 Which isn't actually about the football itself

00:02:09.280 It's to do with Donald Trump

00:02:10.780 And so that is like most of the front pages today

00:02:15.000 We'll talk about it

00:02:15.700 And if you remember

00:02:16.780 where the england game had taken place in the wee hours of monday morning it was too late to go to

00:02:24.780 print for the front pages on monday yesterday so they're actually talking about it again today on

00:02:30.280 the front pages but don't worry i'll whip through it all because i know that you guys don't

00:02:37.080 particularly care about football all right here we go then world cup storm this is to do with trump

00:02:42.220 Trump's involved in the World Cup

00:02:43.740 He's got involved in it

00:02:44.720 And King puts foot down

00:02:48.020 That's to do with Harry

00:02:49.280 I know we also don't care particularly about the Royals

00:02:51.780 But we're going to talk about it a little bit today

00:02:54.060 Because there's a story more than just

00:02:56.080 The King being annoyed with Harry

00:02:57.820 About whether he's going to stay back in the palace or not

00:02:59.960 There's another story about the male group

00:03:01.940 About the male

00:03:03.160 And ongoing

00:03:05.540 Trials

00:03:07.400 I think that is of mild interest

00:03:09.940 So we'll talk about that a bit

00:03:10.920 Okay

00:03:12.220 World Cup's on the mirror.

00:03:14.140 So they're still talking about the England thing

00:03:15.860 because they didn't get to the day before.

00:03:17.660 And they've got to sell papers, haven't they?

00:03:19.660 Happy as Harry.

00:03:22.360 There's a turn of phrasing there, happy as Larry.

00:03:26.080 Which isn't much used anymore.

00:03:27.640 You never hear Zoomers say that.

00:03:29.080 Harry, have you ever even heard of the idiom happy as Larry?

00:03:32.900 Like a couple of times.

00:03:34.400 Oh, you have? Oh, you have heard that one?

00:03:35.660 Okay, maybe it's in more common usage than I thought.

00:03:38.720 But okay, that's a pun on that.

00:03:40.300 Happy as Harry.

00:03:40.940 Alright, so here we go

00:03:42.280 Here's a story with Trump and football

00:03:43.880 In the USA's last game

00:03:48.640 One of their players, their striker I believe

00:03:51.380 I think it's that dude

00:03:52.560 He got a red card

00:03:55.480 He got a straight red card for some sort of dirty foul

00:03:57.760 Oh, it does look bad, doesn't it?

00:04:00.300 I haven't even seen the foul

00:04:01.580 I've watched very little football

00:04:03.600 In this World Cup, very little

00:04:05.520 But oh look, that looks bad

00:04:06.600 You could break someone's ankle doing that

00:04:08.160 He got a straight red card

00:04:10.560 okay so that happened um and then apparently trump personally went to like the president

00:04:17.600 of fifa the governing body of world football fifa this dude smart haircut by the way

00:04:25.760 uh and said and apparently said something along the lines of you should review that red card

00:04:33.200 and then fifa just did and rescinded it or not rescinded it just suspended it

00:04:37.680 the guy would have a one game their striker usa striker would have had a one game ban

00:04:43.840 and they rescinded it okay so foul trump i did call fifa chief over usa stars red card

00:04:51.360 ban football chief chiefs in outrage as goal as a goal ace told he can play goal lace

00:05:00.480 why are they right like that anyway okay so everyone in the world of football never run a

00:05:04.720 A lot of people in the world of football said,

00:05:06.680 this isn't right, and it isn't really, is it?

00:05:08.780 So like UEFA, FIFA is the world governing body.

00:05:12.680 UEFA is like the European governing body.

00:05:15.180 Head of UEFA and ex-heads of UEFA came out and said,

00:05:18.640 this isn't right, this is political interference.

00:05:21.820 Like the FA, the English football governing body,

00:05:26.020 they came out and said, loads of different people,

00:05:27.380 the England manager, loads and loads and loads of different people,

00:05:29.360 nearly everyone was unanimous in, this isn't right,

00:05:32.360 Trump shouldn't put pressure on

00:05:33.920 And to be honest

00:05:36.180 I would say

00:05:37.060 Don't worry, only a few more minutes of this

00:05:40.140 It's in all the front pages by the way

00:05:42.120 So I'm not just giving this needless thing

00:05:44.300 Look, there you go, Trump, Trump

00:05:45.760 Trump, Trump

00:05:47.280 Okay, maybe in all the front pages

00:05:49.780 Anyway, I would say

00:05:51.620 It's not unheard of for a red card to get overturned

00:05:55.080 But it is very rare

00:05:56.320 It is very, very rare

00:05:58.000 Also, particularly for FIFA

00:06:00.620 like i've heard the fa do it again it's rare but it does happen but that's if later footage reveals

00:06:09.640 that it really was a miscarriage of justice the ref just totally got it wrong doesn't seem to have

00:06:15.440 got it wrong in the first place secondly fifa hardly ever overturned a red card but so trump

00:06:22.260 just admitted he just said yeah i i spoke to the fifa chief and asked him to look into it

00:06:30.020 then the FIFA chief said oh I didn't at that point it goes to a committee it's not me I didn't

00:06:35.480 personally do it it goes to a committee which is true but they're obviously under obviously felt

00:06:41.920 they're under political pressure but in the scheme of things I don't think it's that big of a deal

00:06:49.800 it's obviously something a bit dodgy and wrong but it's not and anyway USA had

00:06:54.440 Had their knockout game in the final 16

00:06:59.360 Against Belgium last night

00:07:00.900 And lost 4-1 anyway

00:07:02.480 It's all a bit academic isn't it

00:07:06.900 They got smashed 4-1 by Belgium

00:07:12.180 Tiny Belgium

00:07:13.340 Tiny arguably not even a proper nation

00:07:17.260 Belgium

00:07:17.680 Belgium is of course a proper nation

00:07:19.760 That's just what people say

00:07:20.640 Even Nigel Farage and none of other people said

00:07:23.540 Or there's someone, one of the greatest band The Chosen Few

00:07:26.620 Says, he's a Dutchman

00:07:28.160 Whose handle is

00:07:30.080 I can't remember exactly what it is

00:07:31.460 But it's something like

00:07:31.920 At all Belgians are evil or something

00:07:34.900 Anyway

00:07:35.380 Belgium isn't a big populous country

00:07:40.060 And they smashed the USA for one

00:07:41.700 Alright, alright

00:07:42.380 Let's just move on then

00:07:43.540 The star

00:07:44.380 Yeah, they go with the same thing

00:07:45.860 Look, you're off Don

00:07:46.920 Don's showing the red card

00:07:50.300 Okay

00:07:51.540 red card red cards prez after he gets us stars red car red card suspended okay i've played my

00:08:02.360 trump card look they've put a little speech bubble donald trump saying i've played my trump card

00:08:06.160 very funny wordplay and there's a referee showing the donald the red card and this

00:08:12.820 referee this generic referee saying it's not it's not soccer ball mate

00:08:16.840 meddling sparks world cup fiasco fiasco i mean the star is really super sloppy isn't it but

00:08:26.780 people never signed off on this front page like the mind of a 12 year old or something

00:08:32.620 okay the eye paper even the eye paper global outcries trump forces fifa to change football

00:08:39.540 world cup rules to help you so i won't bother reading the blurb i've told you everything you

00:08:42.280 need to know about it the guardian the guardian oh i did make a slight mistake yesterday didn't i

00:08:48.740 there was one of our players i can't remember who it was even but one of them after the game

00:08:54.720 do you remember he jumped over a hoarding and he fell over and he got what they called a freak

00:08:59.740 injury and i said he broke his leg or i thought he might have broke his leg no broke his arm

00:09:04.060 he jumped over and stumbled and fell down and snapped his arm so again for the record i get

00:09:10.860 things wrong i'll try and correct them if it's of any importance whatsoever um again i said when

00:09:17.440 i've got a few things wrong haven't i on the bow show uh one or two things wrong so uh as i say

00:09:25.140 i'll never deliberately do that it would always be in good faith if i say something that's factually

00:09:29.460 incorrect there you go uh remember when i got aemon holmes and um i got aemon holmes and that

00:09:38.700 other guy mixed up the actual bbc paedophile guy on a day when amon holmes was suffering from a

00:09:44.620 heart attack i got them i got their names mixed up that's bad that's probably the worst clangor

00:09:49.580 well if you remember that hugh edwards i got hugh edwards and amon holmes mixed up

00:09:55.740 and started saying amon holmes it was like a disgraced sex criminal stuff sorry amon

00:10:04.620 i did make a point of rescinding that and even going on twitter and saying yeah no

00:10:08.220 Sorry, yeah, completely my mistake

00:10:09.800 Brain freeze, I don't know what to say

00:10:11.860 Poor old Eamon

00:10:14.120 I hope he's recovering

00:10:14.900 I haven't heard anything that he's like in worse trouble

00:10:17.800 With health wise

00:10:19.900 So

00:10:20.380 Get well soon Eamon

00:10:22.240 Alright, the Daily Mail

00:10:25.260 Daily Mail, they're in a spot of bother with Harry

00:10:27.740 It's funny that they decide to go with

00:10:29.560 The inside story about Harry's chaos

00:10:32.920 Over his visit

00:10:34.040 Just to let you know then, a little bit of royal news

00:10:36.120 Two things to do with Harry

00:10:39.420 One he's over here from the United States

00:10:41.200 He now lives in the United States

00:10:42.380 With a frightful woman

00:10:44.680 Meghan Markle

00:10:45.680 They were supposed to both come over

00:10:48.360 But she hasn't come over

00:10:50.120 I guess maybe she's just too divisive

00:10:51.940 I don't know any details

00:10:52.780 I don't care about any of the actual details of that

00:10:54.240 Apparently he was set to stay in Buckingham Palace

00:10:58.100 A place where he would have grown up

00:10:59.760 And spent large chunks of his life

00:11:02.060 Apparently he flip-flopped one way or the other

00:11:04.440 I will I won't stay

00:11:05.740 Can I, can't I stay in Buckingham Palace

00:11:07.520 And in the end

00:11:08.220 The king who would have the final say on it

00:11:10.440 His father

00:11:11.160 Sausage fingers

00:11:12.580 Chuck Saxe-Cobo-Gotha

00:11:15.140 Just said

00:11:15.800 Forget about it

00:11:16.960 Forget about it

00:11:17.360 You can't stay at Buckingham Palace

00:11:18.540 It was only going to be one night anyway I think

00:11:21.140 So you just can't

00:11:23.020 You'll have to find somewhere else to stay that night

00:11:25.480 A little bit of a slap in the face

00:11:27.780 Isn't it

00:11:28.300 But he is out of the

00:11:29.620 He is out isn't he

00:11:31.300 Not formally out of the royal family

00:11:33.600 Like his uncle

00:11:35.040 Andrew but he's just out of favour isn't he

00:11:37.900 Certainly completely out of favour

00:11:39.180 Both with Charles and his brother

00:11:41.620 The heir, the Prince of Wales, Wills

00:11:43.720 Bend it like Trump

00:11:45.360 Fury over red card, foul play

00:11:47.700 Okay, I don't need to say any more about it

00:11:49.960 The other thing though about Harry

00:11:51.560 Which is actually a bit more of a real story

00:11:53.580 Is that

00:11:55.980 He's going through

00:11:57.100 And it should come to a head

00:11:59.340 Today, I think it is today

00:12:01.360 A long legal battle with

00:12:03.240 The Mail group

00:12:04.280 In fact

00:12:04.580 Somewhere

00:12:05.700 Somewhere

00:12:07.020 There's a

00:12:08.320 Story all about it

00:12:10.100 I should have had that

00:12:11.120 Ready to rock around

00:12:12.660 I'm afraid

00:12:13.180 I didn't

00:12:15.520 I could just tell you

00:12:16.780 Oh there it is

00:12:17.280 Sorry here it is

00:12:18.060 Ruling expected

00:12:19.780 In Prince Harry's

00:12:20.640 Legal battle

00:12:21.240 Against Associated

00:12:22.600 Newspaper

00:12:23.220 Who are the publishers

00:12:24.480 Of The Mail

00:12:25.340 And so

00:12:27.380 It's been going on for ages

00:12:28.540 And I think the ruling

00:12:29.260 Is supposed to be today

00:12:30.180 And it's

00:12:31.080 Him and a number of other people

00:12:32.520 Really high profile people

00:12:34.440 Like Baroness Doreen Lawrence

00:12:36.940 Stephen Lawrence's mum

00:12:38.640 Who they made appear

00:12:40.180 As well as

00:12:42.680 David Furnish

00:12:43.980 Who is Elton John's gay husband

00:12:46.980 Liz Hurley

00:12:48.740 Sadie Frost

00:12:52.820 The MP Sir Simon Hughes

00:12:56.900 They're all taking

00:12:58.160 In one class action type thing

00:13:00.500 Taking associated newspapers

00:13:03.200 The Mail

00:13:03.760 Taking them to court over

00:13:05.780 Some pretty bad allegations

00:13:08.860 Things like they tap their phone

00:13:10.520 Unlawful news gathering techniques

00:13:14.580 Including phone hacking and bugging

00:13:16.260 They all claim that

00:13:19.540 Various journalists for The Mail

00:13:21.700 Yeah like

00:13:22.920 Hacked them basically

00:13:24.400 And

00:13:25.660 And other

00:13:27.700 The other classic tabloid things like kind of harassing them in various ways

00:13:32.900 Of course the Mail or Associated Newspapers claim no wrongdoing whatsoever

00:13:42.260 Saying some of it is just completely made up

00:13:45.320 I wouldn't put it apart

00:13:48.080 Wait for the ruling to see what the court decides

00:13:51.400 The newspapers, I wouldn't put it past them

00:13:55.880 Of course, I wouldn't put it past them

00:13:57.900 They are scumbags

00:13:58.940 They are scum

00:14:00.040 Yeah, the editor of the Mail said

00:14:06.460 The suggestion that we ran the campaign

00:14:08.780 To generate exclusive headlines

00:14:10.600 Sell newspapers and profit

00:14:13.040 Is sickeningly displaced

00:14:14.960 And bleakly cynical

00:14:16.120 Is it?

00:14:17.080 Is it?

00:14:18.440 I don't think it is, mate

00:14:19.900 Bleakly cynical

00:14:22.760 That the Mail might dare do something

00:14:25.020 A bit underhanded

00:14:25.960 Or off colour

00:14:27.040 Yeah right

00:14:27.940 Yeah right

00:14:30.180 We don't do things

00:14:32.440 Just to sell newspapers

00:14:33.500 Come on

00:14:35.860 Come on now

00:14:37.720 The other thing they said

00:14:41.060 Oh well all these allegations

00:14:42.440 Are longer than like

00:14:43.320 Six years ago

00:14:44.140 And like there's a

00:14:44.880 Statue of limitations anyway

00:14:45.980 So

00:14:46.320 The last thing

00:14:52.900 The last little bit

00:14:54.220 I thought was

00:14:54.860 Interesting

00:14:56.380 Yeah it says

00:14:59.120 There are new codes of practice

00:15:01.260 And even more importantly

00:15:03.280 New digital platforms

00:15:04.660 Have transformed news landscape

00:15:09.000 Yeah the tabloid newspapers

00:15:53.840 yeah they're filth

00:15:58.780 okay

00:16:01.020 on the front page of their paper

00:16:05.660 they don't talk about that

00:16:06.860 they talk about how he doesn't get to stay at Buckingham Palace for a night

00:16:09.760 okay

00:16:13.320 alright what have we got here

00:16:17.220 The Telegraph

00:16:17.760 The Daily Toreograph

00:16:21.140 King puts foot down to block Harry's day

00:16:25.780 He loses patience with

00:16:27.400 Quote, dithering sun

00:16:28.540 Overnight at Palace

00:16:29.840 On day of key court hearing

00:16:32.340 Alright

00:16:32.600 Yep, we got that

00:16:34.220 Britain to lead European drive

00:16:36.780 To build long range NATO missiles

00:16:38.560 That's quite interesting

00:16:39.400 I wonder if that will actually materialise

00:16:41.440 If that will actually happen

00:16:42.400 Who knows

00:16:43.860 I think there was a story on the BBC

00:16:45.720 Along those lines

00:16:47.140 We'll talk about Zelensky in a moment

00:16:49.360 Yeah, there was something about

00:16:53.660 How

00:16:55.380 Yeah, the British

00:16:57.160 British military says they want to

00:16:59.400 I can't find it

00:17:01.400 They want to become the leader

00:17:03.560 In more modern

00:17:06.040 Missile technology

00:17:07.560 Okay, here was a very interesting

00:17:09.840 Story, I saw late last night

00:17:11.780 And I thought that was, this is interesting

00:17:13.380 Ahmadinejad comes back

00:17:16.020 From the dead

00:17:16.640 how about that turn up for the books on it oh my dinner jacket is not dead

00:17:27.120 rick male said that by the way

00:17:30.920 anyone who might not know anyone might not remember i wasn't paying attention like

00:17:36.120 10 years ago 15 years ago one of iran's presidents was called armadinejad that was his surname

00:17:45.380 Armandina Jad

00:17:46.540 He was like president from

00:17:49.200 I can't read that writing

00:17:50.200 That's far too small

00:17:50.960 Even with a monocle

00:17:52.360 I doubt I could read that

00:17:53.200 That's absolutely

00:17:53.760 That's tiny

00:17:55.800 He was president

00:17:56.660 I can't remember the exact dates

00:17:57.980 It does say there

00:17:58.540 Was it like

00:17:59.020 Between something like

00:18:00.220 2007 to 2013

00:18:01.960 Something like that

00:18:02.620 I can't remember exactly

00:18:03.560 But in that frame

00:18:05.060 He was president of Iran

00:18:07.060 And even afterwards

00:18:10.340 He was sort of a

00:18:11.560 Sort of a senior statesman figure

00:18:13.460 I think formally

00:18:14.180 he was went back to being a lecturer at a university or something but he was still involved

00:18:17.640 in behind the scenes he was still an important voice right and so when the war started in

00:18:24.440 february like right near the beginning was even like the second day or something or in the first

00:18:29.340 week it was reported that he'd been killed certainly his house or one of his houses or

00:18:35.320 the compound where he was supposed to have lived got hit by a i can't remember if it was a us or

00:18:39.580 an Israeli missile

00:18:40.360 but it got hit

00:18:41.120 and blown up

00:18:42.800 and

00:18:43.980 the Iranian

00:18:45.300 state TV news

00:18:46.620 said he was dead

00:18:47.280 and then

00:18:49.220 I think even

00:18:49.900 I'm pretty sure

00:18:50.320 even Western news

00:18:51.420 confirmed

00:18:52.000 that he was dead

00:18:52.980 probably just

00:18:54.360 re-reporting

00:18:55.540 what the Iranians

00:18:56.220 themselves had said

00:18:57.120 anyway it was reported

00:18:58.520 that he was

00:18:59.040 he was dead

00:18:59.500 or that

00:19:00.080 or that he was just

00:19:01.140 missing

00:19:01.580 he was just gone

00:19:02.160 assumed to have been

00:19:03.940 blown to absolute

00:19:05.020 smithereens

00:19:05.800 like if you take

00:19:07.880 a direct hit

00:19:09.580 From a cruise missile or something

00:19:11.020 And there's probably been nothing left

00:19:14.000 Flecks of bone and flesh

00:19:16.820 And so it was sort of reported that that was Ahmadinejad's sticky end

00:19:21.740 Was that?

00:19:22.280 No, he was spotted

00:19:23.600 Remember yesterday we talked about the Ayatollah's funeral

00:19:27.740 That went through Tehran yesterday

00:19:29.440 I think, am I right in thinking it's still more than a one day affair?

00:19:33.320 Anyway, all day yesterday at least

00:19:36.040 the remains of Ayatollah Khomeini

00:19:40.240 was paraded through Tehran

00:19:42.520 and like a state funeral

00:19:44.020 state funeral type deal

00:19:45.600 Ahmadinejad was there

00:19:47.940 I think that's interesting

00:19:51.260 I think that's

00:19:52.240 Back from the Dead

00:19:54.900 the Telegraph call it

00:19:55.880 yeah

00:19:56.840 kind of

00:19:57.700 I guess when the war started

00:19:59.860 he just went into

00:20:00.980 he had his own plans

00:20:01.900 to just go deep

00:20:02.880 deep deep

00:20:04.100 underground

00:20:04.840 deep undercover

00:20:05.740 He was already deep undercover

00:20:07.960 But he was going deep, deep, deep undercover

00:20:09.660 And only now

00:20:12.020 Once there's sort of this

00:20:13.040 Cease fire

00:20:14.440 In inverted commas

00:20:15.580 It was like he's able to

00:20:17.940 Peep his head above the parapet again

00:20:20.600 So Ahmadinejad isn't dead

00:20:22.900 There you go, alright

00:20:23.720 Oh

00:20:26.140 5 million missold their student loans

00:20:29.880 That's a thing isn't it

00:20:31.320 A bit of a thing

00:20:32.480 It has been said now

00:20:35.740 what was it some sort of in the investigation has been said that the student loans company

00:20:41.800 for people this is a type of story where if it doesn't affect you you just don't care

00:20:46.880 right at all if it does affect you it's like really important you know it's one of those

00:20:51.800 stories i guess a lot of stories are like that but so if you're affected by this in student

00:20:57.840 loans company in britain if you want to go to university and you have to pay low thousands

00:21:01.620 of thousands maybe even the low tens of thousands a year to go to university if you can't just afford

00:21:06.680 that which most people can't right unless you're a quite wealthy family but you can go to the

00:21:12.340 student loans company and they will loan you and you have to pay it back even if you go to sort of

00:21:18.300 quite a middling university you still have to borrow 30 40 grand 70 grand a lot of money a lot

00:21:24.300 of money and the interest repayments aren't low in fact they keep ticking them up and when you sign

00:21:29.700 the thing you're actually signing a document that says we the student loans company reserve

00:21:36.260 the right to like keep increasing the interest repayments the interest on the repayments and

00:21:42.620 stuff it's not a great deal various things have been done since like rachel reeve said she would

00:21:50.760 freeze some of them like where inflation keeps going up at least that will be frozen

00:21:57.500 for the interest on the repayments but still okay and the allegation is is that the shooting

00:22:03.380 loans company themselves sort of missold it to people saying oh it's no different than getting

00:22:08.460 a mobile phone contract well you get a mobile phone contract don't you yeah and you have to

00:22:15.040 you pay back a little bit of money every month for that don't you yeah it's just like that

00:22:20.100 it's not just like that in a couple of ways it's not just like that at least for all the actual

00:22:26.140 Amount, the full amount

00:22:28.480 No mobile phone contract

00:22:30.880 Locks you in for

00:22:31.800 40, 50, 70 grand, whatever

00:22:34.540 But

00:22:34.860 But it's just not like that

00:22:38.920 So they've been shown to have misled students

00:22:43.020 Okay

00:22:45.420 Okay, alright, let's move on

00:22:48.100 The Express, it's a good paper

00:22:49.520 You can read your Express now

00:22:56.140 It's not a good paper, is it?

00:22:57.800 I'm being ironic when I say that every morning

00:22:59.120 Okay, Prince in New Rail with Buckhouse

00:23:02.060 Buckingham Palace

00:23:02.940 As stay there is denied at last minute

00:23:06.780 Harry turned away from Palace

00:23:08.040 Right, we know that, okay

00:23:09.140 And the tennis is still going on

00:23:10.960 Wimbledon's still going on

00:23:12.160 Right

00:23:12.400 The Sun

00:23:14.080 Tuchu, the

00:23:16.440 Tuchu, the

00:23:17.920 England

00:23:19.240 A German

00:23:20.020 Who's the manager of England

00:23:22.760 England football team

00:23:24.380 England can win World Cup because we believe

00:23:27.380 I don't want to be a Debbie Downer unnecessarily

00:23:30.920 And of course I do hope despite everything

00:23:33.460 England do win

00:23:35.100 We'll almost certainly have to play Argentina next

00:23:39.380 And like France in the final

00:23:43.820 It's not going to be easy

00:23:48.960 It's not going to be easy

00:23:49.880 But okay

00:23:50.860 Spain only just beat Portugal 1-0

00:23:54.300 so it's not like spain are all dominant because in years past recent years spain have been sort

00:23:59.500 of all dominant i think spain were the favorite going into this expected to beat everyone four

00:24:04.100 nil five nil six nil no a lot of the big hitters right anyway all right i know you don't like

00:24:10.620 football i'll stop talking about football okay prince's uk visit in chaos king snaps at harry

00:24:17.340 okay we got it the times the venerable times men should you wear shorts at work don't care

00:24:22.460 Harry misses deadline to accept a birth at Buckingham Palace

00:24:27.260 They're like on a ship

00:24:29.180 A hammock

00:24:31.120 They're going to sling up a hammock for him in a corner somewhere

00:24:33.740 No need to seek work for £100,000 with ADHD

00:24:38.100 Cases up 40% since Labour came to power

00:24:43.380 Like two years ago

00:24:44.500 Surely it's being over-diagnosed then

00:24:47.020 Surely, is it not?

00:24:48.820 I've said this before

00:24:51.260 And I've caught a little bit of flack for it

00:24:52.560 But I don't care

00:24:53.060 Say it again

00:24:53.700 I feel like

00:24:54.740 Things like ADHD

00:24:56.640 And even autism

00:24:57.920 And Asperger's

00:24:59.440 Are massively over-diagnosed

00:25:01.160 I think it's unfair on people

00:25:03.540 That have really got it

00:25:04.740 If you've really got autism

00:25:07.440 Or like bad Asperger's syndrome

00:25:11.120 Bad

00:25:11.580 Or you've got real bad ADHD

00:25:13.720 I think it's unfair on those people

00:25:16.240 That anyone that goes

00:25:17.220 i'm i feel a little bit anxious i'm a little bit awkward around people adhd there you go

00:25:21.620 you're on benefits you don't need to work hey blaming on my add baby

00:25:34.020 all right up 40 percent suddenly we've realized quite literally millions well hundreds of thousands

00:25:43.700 of more people hundreds of thousands more suddenly developed adhd have they like adhd

00:25:50.020 that's severe enough though you can be on benefits you don't need to work you're not

00:25:53.700 even required to seek work okay i'm a little bit awkward i've got adhd are you no no

00:26:05.460 red card rail kicks off after trump comes to us our stars aid right we got it the financial times

00:26:14.700 they go for zelensky thing battle in the sky will decide course of ukrainian war zelensky

00:26:19.920 warms putin that was already decided that world was decided in like uh the failed summer campaign

00:26:25.160 of 2023 wasn't it wasn't it can ukraine take back the donbass from from the the russian army

00:26:35.080 I doubt it, I highly doubt it

00:26:38.080 Kiev leader hails air power advance

00:26:44.220 Drone strike deep into Siberia

00:26:47.480 Attack follows huge Russian raid

00:26:50.840 Yeah, look, Zelensky to press NATO for air defence systems

00:26:57.260 After intense Russian strikes

00:26:59.420 Or you could just accept we've lost that war

00:27:05.080 How many more men, both Russian and Ukrainian

00:27:08.880 And civilians, how many more need to die?

00:27:13.760 Simple question, is it?

00:27:16.560 Is the battlefield reality that

00:27:18.720 Ukraine can take and hold the Donbass

00:27:21.060 Back from the Russian army?

00:27:24.720 It's unlikely, isn't it?

00:27:26.340 So, alright then

00:27:27.160 How many more men need to be fed into that meat grinder?

00:27:31.800 Don't worry about that

00:27:32.940 Don't worry about that

00:27:34.220 Just more endless money

00:27:35.620 To Zelensky

00:27:37.280 Don't worry about how it gets spent

00:27:38.880 Don't worry about that

00:27:40.640 Oh you want a full accounting

00:27:45.720 Of how every pound and euro and dollar

00:27:47.560 Is spent by Ukraine

00:27:48.940 No you can't have that

00:27:49.800 It might be being embezzled though

00:27:54.900 Yeah

00:27:55.100 Yeah

00:27:55.840 Yeah

00:27:58.100 Zelensky

00:28:02.600 Look at this little rat

00:28:04.000 I'm not a fan of Putin

00:28:05.700 Don't take that that I'm a fan of Putin

00:28:07.840 What is this guy?

00:28:10.640 What is he?

00:28:11.680 Do you remember when he was just like some TV comedian dude?

00:28:14.680 Doing like weird global homo skits

00:28:17.160 Well now he's like some sort of dictator of Ukraine

00:28:21.260 He's suspended all elections

00:28:22.900 Apparently indefinitely at this point

00:28:24.740 He's not making any noises about bringing the elections back

00:28:27.480 This hand-picked shill

00:28:30.920 What is he?

00:28:32.700 What is he?

00:28:34.000 Oh, just endless gibbs please, for a war that's already lost.

00:28:41.000 In both Britain he wouldn't get a penny, I wouldn't invite him to anything.

00:28:47.000 He wouldn't come and visit number 10 and he wouldn't get a single penny.

00:28:52.000 I'd give the same amount of money to Zelensky as I gave Putin, zero.

00:28:59.000 Has it got anything to do with us?

00:29:02.000 All right, they're the front pages.

00:29:06.920 All right, have we got a poll?

00:29:07.900 Did we do a poll, Harry?

00:29:10.360 We did, yeah.

00:29:11.400 Yeah, okay, if you bring that up for me then.

00:29:13.660 What did we do?

00:29:14.220 This is new to me.

00:29:14.820 I don't know what it's going to say.

00:29:21.300 We asked you, what do you care less about?

00:29:25.780 Your options were football and the royal family.

00:29:29.840 It's important for me to know.

00:29:32.000 and I'm not even being ironic it actually is important for me to know what you guys don't like

00:29:36.960 okay so the royal family has it that's a funny phrasing what do you care less about

00:29:45.240 yeah okay the royal family wins it by 59 to 41 so it's I mean you you care nothing about both

00:29:56.500 those things basically don't you yeah okay it's a funny poll all right interesting so you see what

00:30:03.140 else have we got in the news what else uh bear with me my mouse is just coming around here we

00:30:10.820 go all right what else we got oh yeah they're saying that um it may well be true i'm not saying

00:30:17.380 this isn't true but it was in the news this morning um they're saying that russia has got loads of

00:30:22.660 torture prisons

00:30:25.540 even loads of ukrainian civilians thousands of ukrainian civilians are

00:30:29.300 sort of held detained by russia in russia and they're torture prisons

00:30:34.580 including like sexual torture and stuff

00:30:42.340 okay if true i haven't been there with my own two eyeballs to verify any of it

00:30:48.100 Who knows these days

00:30:54.140 You know, wouldn't be surprised if that's just completely accurate reporting

00:30:56.580 And also wouldn't be surprised if it's complete

00:30:58.880 Intelligent Services nonsense

00:31:00.600 Okay, MI5

00:31:02.360 The British Internal Intelligence Services

00:31:05.500 MI6 is foreign stuff

00:31:07.460 Like James Bond

00:31:08.300 MI5 is domestic stuff

00:31:11.080 Domestic spooks

00:31:12.480 MI5, new agent was misogynist

00:31:14.660 Obsessed with violence, watchdog finds

00:31:16.660 It's just mildly interesting

00:31:18.480 It's just a story of a guy, Agent X

00:31:21.180 It's obviously not his real name

00:31:23.080 Surname X

00:31:25.940 And he was christened Agent

00:31:27.400 That's his name, Agent X

00:31:29.240 No, obviously that's a codename

00:31:32.440 Yeah, the story was he was

00:31:34.660 Seems to have been some sort of crazy wrongman

00:31:37.560 Who was obsessed with violence

00:31:39.900 Attacked his girlfriend with a machete

00:31:42.620 Or threatened to

00:31:43.400 At one point it says he attacked her with a machete

00:31:45.860 then later it said that he just threatened to either way

00:31:49.740 either way and at first for a long time the bbc did i think a report into it back in 2022

00:31:56.900 and the mi5 tried to block the investigation and anyway it's gone to court and now it's

00:32:03.600 gone through the watchdog or gone to court and now the bbc can uh report on it um

00:32:09.140 and this is really a story that mi5 sort of at least for a while at least for a window of time

00:32:15.840 they didn't seem to care that this guy was some sort of crazy loose cannon dude

00:32:19.940 again what a surprise is it a surprise

00:32:25.120 actual like field officers actual agents for mi5 and mi6 they're wild men

00:32:37.440 What a surprise

00:32:39.360 Yeah, of course

00:32:39.840 Yeah, yeah, that would be

00:32:40.840 Yeah

00:32:41.060 Like a special branch firearms officer

00:32:45.500 Or a special forces operator

00:32:47.660 Yeah, they're probably going to be

00:32:48.820 A little bit of

00:32:49.740 A little bit of a nutter

00:32:51.000 Maybe unhinged

00:32:52.180 On some level

00:32:52.940 Yeah

00:32:53.220 There you go

00:32:56.900 Alright

00:32:57.400 Not much of a story

00:32:59.140 He didn't like murdering or anything

00:33:00.420 But, alright

00:33:01.280 Yeah, look

00:33:06.020 Phone contract comparisons

00:33:07.200 Amount to mis-selling student loans

00:33:09.720 MPs say

00:33:10.700 Charlie Kirk

00:33:12.000 Shall we talk a little bit about Charlie Kirk

00:33:14.040 Or oh Charlie Kirk

00:33:17.060 Just to put my cards on the table with Charlie Kirk

00:33:19.340 I was only very mildly a fan

00:33:21.820 Of Charlie Kirk while he was alive

00:33:23.100 I thought he was good, he was alright

00:33:25.100 Someone like Michael Moles in my opinion

00:33:27.520 He'd be like, oh yeah that's a good take

00:33:29.580 That's not a bad take

00:33:30.500 Am I going to follow everything you do now?

00:33:34.820 Am I interested in all your takes all the time

00:33:37.020 and follow you no are you more based than not yeah sure occasionally i'll see a a short or a clip

00:33:45.740 i'm like oh that's cool that's based that's how i felt about charlie kirk while he was alive

00:33:50.300 of course his murder was absolutely terrible wasn't it absolutely shockingly terrible

00:33:56.640 i mean it was just i don't need to tell you guys i'm sure but

00:34:02.520 okay what's happening here is that his alleged killer or is it tyler robinson

00:34:12.280 it's not even going to court yet there's hearings the the judges the

00:34:17.400 the justice system in utah which is where it happened right i have got the death penalty there

00:34:25.040 for the record um they're doing a whole bunch of hearings to decide if it's even going to go to

00:34:32.900 trial usually that sort of thing would be a slam dunk if they've got the guy and there's sort of

00:34:43.560 plenty of evidence overwhelming evidence then it just goes to trial

00:34:46.320 they have to do hearings to decide if there's even enough evidence for it to go to trial

00:34:51.960 It doesn't bode well

00:34:55.440 Well that's my very surface level take

00:34:58.260 I read this whole article

00:34:59.520 But who knows

00:35:00.740 It might be the judge in these hearings

00:35:02.680 It might just be like

00:35:03.360 Oh yeah there's tons of evidence here

00:35:05.300 Of course we're going to trial

00:35:06.120 It might just be that

00:35:07.740 It might not

00:35:08.720 The fact that all this is happening

00:35:11.220 And it's supposed to last for like a week or so

00:35:13.360 God the footage of it

00:35:17.380 You probably remember it don't you

00:35:19.220 I've seen a fair amount of like real life killings

00:35:29.960 Least of all in like war archive footage right

00:35:32.900 Watch enough documentaries about World War 2 alone

00:35:36.780 You'll see actual people getting actually killed right

00:35:39.060 The JFK murder

00:35:40.840 See a guy's head get blown up blown apart

00:35:43.560 As an adult

00:35:45.780 If you live in the world eventually

00:35:47.700 You'll see what is effectively real snuff footage

00:35:49.700 Like JFK

00:35:50.780 The Charlie Kirk thing was horrible wasn't it

00:35:54.100 Horrible, poor dude

00:35:55.680 He didn't

00:35:56.880 I'm stating the absolute

00:35:58.940 Obvious

00:36:00.960 Of course he didn't deserve it

00:36:03.920 Like

00:36:04.200 He was the dialogue guy wasn't he

00:36:07.000 He was the dialogue guy

00:36:13.640 And they murdered him

00:36:15.840 Whoever it was

00:36:16.460 they decided he needed to be silenced

00:36:19.320 forever

00:36:19.840 not like someone who's like much much more

00:36:25.240 hardline

00:36:25.780 no, Charlie Kirk of all people

00:36:29.300 the guy

00:36:31.240 that would try and reason with them

00:36:32.880 spent his life

00:36:35.140 trying to do that, he's the guy

00:36:37.280 that needs to be taken out

00:36:39.060 R.I.P. Charlie

00:36:46.160 R.I.P. Charlie

00:36:47.800 Poor dude

00:36:50.800 His kids

00:36:51.900 Don't pay much attention

00:36:54.580 But from what I understand

00:36:56.060 His wife is

00:36:56.940 Haves in bad taste sometimes

00:36:59.580 Since the killing

00:37:00.480 But his poor kids

00:37:01.660 They were little kids weren't they

00:37:04.520 Ugh

00:37:06.160 Horrible, horrible, horrible

00:37:11.960 R.I.P.

00:37:15.080 What a world

00:37:16.080 What a world we live in

00:37:18.480 Let's talk a little bit about Nige

00:37:21.540 Chris Mason

00:37:24.500 Accusations around Farage

00:37:26.660 Leave him looking vulnerable to his rivals

00:37:28.520 I read the article but it's just what it says on the tin really

00:37:30.880 Saying

00:37:31.300 Nigel's usually cool, calm and collected

00:37:33.160 Whenever there's any whiff of scandal around him

00:37:35.980 He's able to brush it off and laugh it off

00:37:37.560 And make a joke

00:37:38.220 And it works

00:37:40.200 He's like Teflon

00:37:41.060 Nothing sticks to Nige

00:37:42.100 But this seems to be

00:37:44.340 This seems to be rattling him a little bit

00:37:47.800 I mean

00:37:48.360 There you go

00:37:50.180 In fact there's a little clip

00:37:52.040 In fact in the mail

00:37:53.700 Let's have a quick look at the mail

00:37:54.960 Was it Dan Hodges

00:37:57.040 Who is a leftist shill

00:37:58.880 But nonetheless

00:37:59.500 Sometimes actually comes out with decent takes

00:38:01.740 For a leftist

00:38:02.820 Nigel's always been able to deflect awkward questions

00:38:06.480 With a joke and a shrug

00:38:07.660 But now his force field is down

00:38:10.120 Yeah, as I said, he seems to be

00:38:14.540 I mentioned two or three times

00:38:16.000 Over the last week or so, a bit more

00:38:18.680 When this stuff comes up

00:38:20.720 He gets really defensive

00:38:22.300 There's no doubt about that

00:38:24.220 That's not just an anti-Niage voice

00:38:27.720 Me, I mean

00:38:28.800 Just saying, ooh, he's getting all defensive

00:38:30.460 Ooh, you're rattled

00:38:31.260 No, objectively so, he seems to be

00:38:33.360 Doesn't he?

00:38:35.240 And over the last week or more

00:38:36.640 He's been a bit more out of the limelight

00:38:38.860 A bit

00:38:39.300 And there was rumours, weren't there

00:38:44.000 That people in his camp

00:38:46.240 Feared that he might

00:38:48.000 Actually, that he fears he might

00:38:49.960 Face a by-election, that these investigations

00:38:52.040 Into his personal finances

00:38:53.600 The thorn in his side

00:38:55.200 Might actually be negative for him

00:38:57.700 And he'll have a re-election

00:38:59.040 By-election in Clacton

00:39:00.480 Well, this is the latest thing that happened

00:39:02.900 Did I just accept all cookies there, Harry?

00:39:06.080 I've done it

00:39:06.560 I'll tell you what Nigel says in a moment

00:39:10.860 Let's just watch this clip

00:39:12.340 Can we play that?

00:39:14.440 Harry, can you sort that out for me?

00:39:17.380 I don't know if you need to

00:39:18.200 I could just tell you what it is

00:39:21.840 While Harry does that

00:39:22.680 Nigel Farage is coming out of

00:39:25.400 He's on a flight back from somewhere obviously

00:39:28.600 And there's a

00:39:30.640 I think it's a Sky News reporter

00:39:32.520 Says to him

00:39:33.900 The classic question

00:39:35.060 Like you know, Mr Farage, Mr Farage

00:39:36.480 that doesn't seem to be working we'll have to sort that out don't worry about having we'll

00:39:40.380 have to sort that out for another time um i have to make sure someone signed into twitter to or x

00:39:46.400 sorry uh to they say the classic thing as soon as he gets off the plane mr farage mr farage we

00:39:51.320 we right to have um you know not declared all these things that's the thing it's what you get

00:39:57.280 if you're in the public eye and you're important enough that's what you get i just got really

00:40:01.660 angry i immediately like went right up to that right up to him like in his grill basically

00:40:08.300 you know like right up in his face going uh i can't i'm paraphrasing slightly he says you guys

00:40:14.780 are basically this pickle tell your bosses at sky news that what you're doing is reprehensible

00:40:20.060 again i'm paraphrasing um he invoked the levinson report you know that report about how the media

00:40:26.140 are like hound people because you're breaking all the rules leveson the whole nine yards

00:40:31.020 You've been harassing my family

00:40:35.020 If you don't leave me alone

00:40:37.260 There will be serious consequences

00:40:38.980 And he goes to walk away

00:40:40.560 And then the reporter just shouts to him again

00:40:44.860 So where are you wrong Mr Farage

00:40:46.600 It's his job isn't it as a reporter

00:40:48.280 And Farage comes back

00:40:51.180 And really gets right up in his grill

00:40:53.100 I mean

00:40:53.380 Obviously Nigel's not going to start throwing punches

00:40:58.160 That would sort of

00:41:01.020 might well be the actual end of his career might be criminal prosecution and it's the worst optics

00:41:06.560 ever and nigel's too old for it anyway he's out of shape and he's he's not going to start throwing

00:41:11.260 punches but nonetheless gets right up in the guy's grill like you know face face almost you know

00:41:15.520 that thing it was been squared up to where someone like puts their face right in your face even puts

00:41:20.720 their forehead on your forehead like pushes back on you like almost doing that almost doing that

00:41:25.940 super aggressive and Nigel Farage said the same thing I've already said what he said he's like

00:41:31.180 you better you better not threaten you better not hound my family anymore or there'll be consequences

00:41:36.720 it's a fairly legit question Nigel what's the problem Nigel why are you so rattled by this

00:41:46.720 again it should be shouldn't it Nigel Farage just going oh there's a there's nothing to see here

00:41:52.580 Or just going, oh, he used to do that all the time, didn't he?

00:41:55.500 When there was a question he didn't like, he'd just go, oh, you all know.

00:41:58.540 He could play it like that, couldn't he?

00:42:00.640 Or just completely ignore them.

00:42:02.260 That's a classic thing, is it?

00:42:03.000 Just completely ignore them like they're not there.

00:42:04.440 You just didn't hear them shout that question at you.

00:42:07.920 No, but he gets all aggro.

00:42:09.080 He gets all aggy about it.

00:42:11.840 And in Sky News, after that clip, there's just a female voiceover saying,

00:42:16.420 Sky News hasn't been hounding his family.

00:42:18.640 We absolutely haven't approached his family in any way.

00:42:22.580 But then Nigel tweets that

00:42:25.380 And says

00:42:25.940 This is an outrageous liar

00:42:28.900 From Sky News

00:42:29.860 They hounded my daughter at home

00:42:32.100 Just days after the Times

00:42:33.360 Published where my family live

00:42:34.720 Despicable behaviour from the media

00:42:36.540 There you go

00:42:38.540 I don't know what's true

00:42:39.860 I don't know if Sky News

00:42:40.820 Did hound his daughter at home or not

00:42:42.920 I don't pay that close attention

00:42:46.480 I'm not on the ground

00:42:47.480 I haven't seen any of these things

00:42:48.860 With my own two eyeballs

00:42:50.380 Nigel accusing Sky News of a liar

00:42:54.900 Just an outright liar

00:42:55.940 Don't know about that

00:43:00.520 Anyway

00:43:00.880 That's just one more little data point

00:43:03.440 In the ongoing

00:43:04.220 Thorn in Nigel's side

00:43:07.120 It does seem to be sort of objectively

00:43:13.700 Rattled by it, doesn't it?

00:43:18.600 Surely you play it off

00:43:19.580 even if because if there's nothing there at all you know what it's like if you're ever out there

00:43:24.380 you've ever been accused of anything you haven't done whether small or large right it usually

00:43:29.100 shines through doesn't it someone accuses you of something whether it's really small like did you

00:43:33.820 eat the last biscuit or you know have you lied to me about something really important in our

00:43:39.580 relationship or something and you really genuinely haven't usually it's fairly obvious you're like

00:43:43.460 Oh gosh

00:43:44.780 Yeah, no

00:43:45.880 I've got

00:43:47.080 I've so got nothing to hide

00:43:49.360 I guarantee you it wasn't me

00:43:50.900 That sort of confidence, you know

00:43:52.100 That sort of real confidence

00:43:53.200 Whereas if you immediately get defensive over stuff

00:43:55.480 Get all

00:43:55.800 Wow

00:43:56.980 Who knows

00:43:59.640 We shall see

00:44:01.520 That was certainly an odd reaction

00:44:03.080 That was certainly undeniably an odd reaction

00:44:05.220 To

00:44:06.420 Almost square up to the reporter

00:44:10.660 In an airport

00:44:12.200 I think it was an airport

00:44:13.460 Let's put your face right in their face

00:44:16.600 I mean

00:44:16.900 Why are you so angry

00:44:21.060 It was just a gift

00:44:23.640 You just

00:44:25.460 Alright

00:44:29.300 Alright

00:44:31.040 Did we have any other stories

00:44:34.500 Before we go on to those

00:44:35.780 It was already quarter two

00:44:36.640 I think there was

00:44:38.680 Yeah there was something in the

00:44:39.740 Express

00:44:41.560 Oh look, just wall to wall

00:44:44.920 Disgusting foreign

00:44:46.600 Like rapists

00:44:48.740 Pedophiles

00:44:49.680 Labour moles

00:44:52.260 Emergency law change to deport

00:44:54.300 Rochdale grooming gang wing leader Shabir Ahmed

00:44:56.540 And the story is that

00:44:57.860 Whether they'll do it or not

00:45:01.000 The government, Labour government

00:45:02.600 Are saying they'll look at all options

00:45:04.700 About passing a piece of emergency

00:45:06.380 Legislation to deport just this guy

00:45:11.560 it'd be welcome wouldn't it but is that really it's barely a plaster over a giant wound is it

00:45:18.380 isn't it all options are on the table are they brilliant only now though only over this guy

00:45:27.220 only now thanks thanks for that oh here's the funny thing where belgium beat the usa last night

00:45:35.420 4-1

00:45:37.000 Belgians when they

00:45:38.420 At least once

00:45:39.400 When they scored one of their goals

00:45:40.900 Their celebration dance

00:45:42.560 Was the Trump dance

00:45:43.720 Okay

00:45:48.620 Trump went on

00:45:52.560 Choose Social after that

00:45:53.480 And apparently did a bit of a

00:45:55.340 A bit of a rant

00:45:56.100 A general purpose rant

00:45:57.100 Not talking about football

00:45:57.820 Just talking about how great America is

00:45:59.460 In loads of ways

00:46:00.480 Seems like Trump was invested

00:46:04.520 In the World Cup

00:46:05.280 In some way

00:46:06.080 He actually follows it

00:46:08.200 To some extent

00:46:09.060 He must have done

00:46:09.580 He must do

00:46:09.980 Sorry

00:46:11.900 On some level

00:46:13.820 To some degree

00:46:14.800 Like a matter of

00:46:15.900 National prestige

00:46:16.500 Alright

00:46:16.780 Alright

00:46:17.540 Let's do this day in history

00:46:18.760 Let's talk about that

00:46:19.520 The 7th of July

00:46:20.580 7-7

00:46:21.480 On this day in 1520

00:46:25.700 Hernán Cortés

00:46:26.820 And the

00:46:29.920 Never know how you pronounce these words

00:46:31.740 The Tax-Clan's

00:46:33.340 Mesoamerican, Central American people

00:46:37.380 Defeat a numerically superior Aztec force

00:46:39.980 At the Battle of

00:46:41.360 Otumba

00:46:42.980 In Mexico, I've talked before haven't I about

00:46:45.540 Cortez, how was it possible that a small number

00:46:47.980 Cortez only had

00:46:49.060 Something like 60 odd men, a few more

00:46:51.620 No was it more like 100 odd, anyway

00:46:52.920 A few horses, a few war dogs

00:46:55.620 A few blunderbusses

00:46:58.220 How did they take out a whole civilisation

00:46:59.720 Of millions of people, well

00:47:00.880 What they actually did was the classic divide and conquer

00:47:05.480 Get loads of other peoples in the region

00:47:08.280 That the Aztecs had been conquered and suppressed

00:47:13.100 And used them to help defeat the Aztecs

00:47:15.580 On this day in 1807

00:47:19.680 A French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte

00:47:21.620 And Russian Tsar Alexander I

00:47:23.160 Meet on a raft in the middle of the Neiman River

00:47:25.660 And sign the First Treaty of Tilsit

00:47:28.180 Do you reckon in my long form content

00:47:33.300 All about the life and career of

00:47:34.920 The little Corsican

00:47:37.720 Napoleon the first

00:47:41.240 Do you think I talk all about

00:47:44.140 The Treaty of Tilsit

00:47:45.420 And his relationship with

00:47:47.520 Zara Alexander the first

00:47:48.560 Oh yeah, it's all there

00:47:51.160 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

00:48:12.520 You want to hear hours of me.

00:48:14.400 In fact, those were in conversation with Carl Benjamin as well.

00:48:16.320 You want to hear me and Carl talk about Napoleon in a lot of detail.

00:48:18.780 What is it?

00:48:19.540 Nine parts?

00:48:21.880 Each one at least an hour, more like an hour and a half.

00:48:23.820 So there's well over 10 hours.

00:48:25.060 There's quite a lot of detail

00:48:26.920 It's almost audiobook level isn't it

00:48:29.480 Okay

00:48:29.700 On this day in 1937

00:48:31.180 Japanese and Chinese troops

00:48:32.780 Clash at the Marco Polo Bridge

00:48:34.680 Near Beijing

00:48:35.500 Beginning the second Sino-Japanese war

00:48:37.620 Japan and China going to war

00:48:39.380 Before World War 2 really starts

00:48:41.080 On my channel History Bro

00:48:48.520 I've got an 18 part series

00:48:49.580 All about the life and career of Chairman Mao

00:48:51.420 Which obviously doesn't just start in 1948 does it

00:48:55.060 So I'll go back to the late 19th century

00:48:57.880 The world, the China in which Mao was brought up in

00:49:00.920 And of course all of the 20s and 30s and World War II

00:49:04.240 I'll talk all about that there

00:49:05.780 Also

00:49:07.700 Also I've got a long form of content talking about

00:49:14.440 The road to Pearl Harbor

00:49:16.200 On Epochs

00:49:18.420 The road to Pearl Harbor

00:49:19.420 How was it that the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941?

00:49:25.060 Again, going back to the 19th century

00:49:27.580 Or briefly going back even centuries before that

00:49:29.220 And all part of it is

00:49:31.980 Wrapped up in the Sino-Japanese War

00:49:34.100 And resources

00:49:35.880 And all sorts of things

00:49:37.260 So I'll talk about that more than once

00:49:39.700 If you're so inclined

00:49:47.640 Alright, on this day, 1947

00:49:50.420 Alleged and disputed Roswell, New Mexico UFO incident

00:49:54.580 Did a long form conversation

00:49:58.820 So you can get it for free

00:49:59.740 It's not behind the paywall

00:50:00.620 Just a couple of weeks ago

00:50:01.960 With Devon Tracy

00:50:03.220 The great Devon Tracy

00:50:04.500 A.K.A.

00:50:06.520 Atheism is unstoppable

00:50:07.600 Fear the rue

00:50:08.740 Did a long form conversation with him

00:50:12.100 All about UFOs

00:50:13.920 Or UAPs

00:50:15.000 That's on Locius.com for free

00:50:17.560 It's like

00:50:18.280 Is it

00:50:18.820 Knocking two hours?

00:50:20.260 Was it that long?

00:50:21.260 Something like that

00:50:21.740 I think it was

00:50:22.180 Just shy of two hours

00:50:23.260 An hour and 40

00:50:24.320 Talking all about it

00:50:25.520 We talk about Roswell in passing

00:50:28.560 A little bit

00:50:29.360 Anyway it's an interesting

00:50:31.960 Subject for me

00:50:33.600 Very very interesting

00:50:34.800 I want to know my thoughts and feelings

00:50:36.520 And Devon Tracey's in some depth

00:50:39.320 That's there

00:50:40.500 On this day in 2005

00:50:42.820 Coordinated terrorist bomb blasts

00:50:45.200 Strikes London's public transport system

00:50:47.780 During the morning rush hour

00:50:49.640 Killing 52 and injuring 700

00:50:52.340 7-7

00:50:54.360 Yeah

00:50:56.520 I was there that morning

00:51:01.620 I was on a train at Mile End

00:51:04.240 I lived in Essex

00:51:07.620 London Borough of Hovering

00:51:09.140 The east of East London

00:51:10.540 And worked in London

00:51:12.200 I was on a tube train

00:51:14.960 The District Line

00:51:15.660 At Mile End

00:51:17.460 When the train stopped

00:51:18.660 Not uncommon

00:51:20.380 I didn't hear a boom

00:51:21.380 I didn't hear anything

00:51:22.120 the train just stopped sat at not in a tunnel my train happened to be sat at the station

00:51:28.260 sat there for a good few minutes again not uncommon and then over the tunnel it comes

00:51:32.620 uh this train has to be uh completely evacuated please leave the station as quick as possible

00:51:39.120 that never had that before please leave the station as quick as possible

00:51:43.720 and of course around that time you sort of knew what it was likely to be or whether it was a

00:51:52.120 A real Winston or whether it was some sort of

00:51:55.580 Anyway, everyone knew immediately

00:51:59.280 Oh, we better comply with that

00:52:00.980 That's not something I'm going to ignore

00:52:02.720 And anyway, one of the bombs

00:52:06.320 Probably someone in the chat or the comments saying

00:52:09.160 Oh, it's all psyop, it's not real

00:52:10.360 It was real, people died that day, for real

00:52:12.480 People did die that day, for real

00:52:14.980 One of the bombs was at Allgate

00:52:21.020 That's one stop from my land

00:52:25.340 In fact, they're so close

00:52:27.780 That you can stand on the platform

00:52:31.520 At Allgate East

00:52:33.120 And sort of look down the tunnel a bit

00:52:35.300 And see Allgate

00:52:36.240 Allgate East, Allgate and my land

00:52:39.020 All right next to each other

00:52:39.860 I didn't hear any sort of boom

00:52:43.240 That's my real life lived experience

00:52:47.340 There you go, take it or leave it

00:52:51.020 All right, yeah, so a bunch of Muslims

00:52:54.620 Nominally to do with the war in Iraq

00:52:59.980 Wasn't it, they said

00:53:01.640 Except there's countries that weren't involved in that

00:53:09.840 That still get Islamic attacks, don't they

00:53:11.640 France famously decided to opt out of that coalition of the willing, didn't they

00:53:17.520 They still got terrorist attacks from Muslims, don't they

00:53:20.880 Like the Bataclan

00:53:21.660 Now the Islamists will find another reason

00:53:23.760 There'll be another reason

00:53:24.540 Right

00:53:26.880 So don't buy that

00:53:30.140 But I was there

00:53:34.640 On 21-7

00:53:36.740 Most people

00:53:37.280 It's largely forgotten by history now

00:53:39.460 On 21-7

00:53:41.040 Two weeks later

00:53:43.220 There's four more bombs

00:53:44.800 But they didn't go

00:53:45.760 Four more Islamists

00:53:46.700 But those happened to not go off

00:53:50.460 They didn't make their bombs properly enough

00:53:52.540 And none of them went off

00:53:53.480 There were supposed to be four more

00:53:54.820 One of those was at Gouge Street

00:53:56.800 Which is one stop up from Liverpool Street

00:53:59.040 And I was getting on and off at Liverpool Street every day

00:54:03.320 In fact, sometimes, occasionally

00:54:05.260 I would get on at Gouge Street

00:54:06.580 On the Northern Line

00:54:07.540 So again, narrowly missed that

00:54:11.560 Kind of, in a way

00:54:12.580 Used to go drinking a fair bit

00:54:19.940 In years after this

00:54:20.860 With friends in Borough

00:54:24.160 Borough Market

00:54:25.140 Just by London Bridge

00:54:26.400 Oh no no no

00:54:29.280 There was an Islamic terrorist attack there

00:54:31.300 Where they killed a few people

00:54:32.540 Random people just having a drink in an evening

00:54:34.600 At Borough Market

00:54:35.420 In and around Borough

00:54:36.540 We stopped doing that real quick

00:54:40.460 They're all pretty much

00:54:44.400 Wokest

00:54:45.300 So there was no talk about Islamism

00:54:47.640 And the danger we face

00:54:48.460 It was just

00:54:48.880 We're just not drinking in Borough anymore

00:54:50.720 When the buses blew up

00:55:00.540 At Russell Square

00:55:01.440 Didn't it?

00:55:02.340 Russell Square

00:55:02.980 That was also right near where I worked

00:55:07.340 I worked in

00:55:09.000 The Institute of Education

00:55:11.460 Which was

00:55:13.720 Just off Russell Square

00:55:14.880 That bus that blew up

00:55:18.400 Splattered people across the building

00:55:20.420 Was it the BMI building?

00:55:25.280 What's Tony Blair's response to that?

00:55:31.940 To open our borders even further

00:55:34.280 To Islamist countries

00:55:35.780 Insane

00:55:37.080 Insane

00:55:38.960 To pass more laws

00:55:40.800 On paper to begin with

00:55:45.140 To help fight terrorism domestically

00:55:47.780 But are now used to detain anyone they want

00:55:50.820 Anyone the government wants

00:55:51.780 And not to close our borders

00:55:54.340 Not to really fight against Islamism

00:55:58.640 The Islamisation of Britain

00:56:01.240 Has only accelerated since then

00:56:03.440 Crazy, crazy

00:56:05.120 Millions more have come since then

00:56:07.680 Bizarre

00:56:09.840 Disgusting

00:56:12.180 7-7

00:56:16.300 Lest we forget

00:56:17.120 Alright

00:56:21.420 Let's have a look at our Rumble Rants and Super Chats

00:56:24.580 We do that at this point

00:56:27.260 This is very nearly 9am

00:56:28.580 I'm on the main podcast today

00:56:30.020 So I've got to get my segment ready for that

00:56:31.700 Global Church History not there

00:56:33.860 I hope you're okay

00:56:34.640 Global Church History

00:56:35.740 In fact, only one rumble rant this morning

00:56:39.700 Fallen Firebird said

00:56:41.160 Charlie Kirk's murder was huge

00:56:44.400 Not because of who he was

00:56:45.600 But because everyone further right

00:56:47.240 Witnessed the left's jubilation

00:56:50.460 At the brutal death of a guy

00:56:51.920 Who was essentially a moderate debate bro

00:56:54.600 Yeah

00:56:54.940 The reaction by some

00:56:59.460 Despicable, absolutely sickening

00:57:03.060 In and of itself

00:57:04.340 And for what it suggests

00:57:06.080 The malaise of our society in the West

00:57:08.940 Not just the United States

00:57:09.900 A general malaise

00:57:12.640 A general

00:57:15.120 Immorality

00:57:18.720 Inability to understand right from wrong

00:57:21.740 Got weirdo lefties celebrating it

00:57:25.780 Do you remember there was a guy

00:57:26.760 In the moments after the shot rang out

00:57:28.720 And all the normal people ducked down

00:57:30.980 Shots fired

00:57:31.920 Just seen Charlie Kirk just get murdered

00:57:34.140 And one guy stood tall and turned round towards the rooftop

00:57:38.420 And was like, yeah, go, yeah

00:57:41.140 Do you remember that guy?

00:57:43.620 Did you ever find that guy?

00:57:45.000 Did you ever question that guy?

00:57:46.080 I don't know

00:57:46.540 Crazy

00:57:50.080 Okay, another super chat just came in

00:59:34.900 ones oh only about 10 or so today okay amazing disgrace 9-1-1 amazing disgrace 9-11 says

00:59:44.840 i think it was a performative gesture by trump looking like he's standing up for his country's

00:59:52.580 team he does things for optics all the time that's a fair point yeah i mean a kind of a fair point i

00:59:57.760 think the fifa didn't have to pay any heed to what trump said it's not like he put any real pressure

01:00:05.360 on them he just requested it it probably was performative from trump uh from i almost said

01:00:12.060 from tonald drump's side of the equation i guess fifa well for whatever reason they decided oh we

01:00:18.120 better do what he said it's all academic now they got knocked out okay tatum 2733 says

01:00:25.180 so damn stupid this is what my president is doing

01:00:29.560 yeah um kylie couliard 373 says fifa used slow down replay

01:00:45.060 to look at that red card foul which is against protocol

01:00:50.140 no it's not i don't think so they've got var now haven't they and they can

01:00:58.760 if you slow down replay and look at the red card foul that's not against protocol not anymore

01:01:52.880 You ever had

01:01:54.440 That kid at

01:02:19.760 i'm not gonna i'm not gonna read that one out i'm afraid just because it's supposed to be clean

01:02:22.880 even that was a little bit on the borderline the bosh is supposed to be very very clean

01:02:26.160 um you just you just referenced something that was funny on t-stop state of politics

01:02:31.760 um it's just a little bit a little bit blue thanks for the two chat anyway but

01:02:37.420 just say to everyone that gives it a run brand or super chat if it's too spicy

01:02:43.900 or blue i won't read it out on this so on state of politics it's fine even probably the main

01:02:51.320 podcast but my orders the directives are for the bow show because there may well be kiddies in the
