00:00:12.040 I do hope you are.

00:00:12.860 No, I do hope you are.

00:00:13.680 I really genuinely do hope you are.

00:00:39.360 producer little harry how are you this morning good sir morning yeah i'm all good disembodied

00:00:45.120 voice of the all-powerful producer there okay a tiny bit of housekeeping a little bit of faffing

00:00:49.420 about tiny bit of faffing about came to my attention yesterday there was uh some sort of 0.68

00:00:55.340 douchebag in the chat 0.92

00:00:58.980 not uncommon

00:00:59.900 what are you going to do?

00:01:00.680 well you don't have any mods here, it's only little harry

00:01:02.880 in the lotus eaters office HQ of a morning like this, it's literally

00:01:06.760 just me and little harry, that's it

00:01:10.020 and now he's actually got to juggle a whole bunch of stuff

00:01:14.040 he'd probably be way more than you think

00:01:16.560 not just pressing disdain cam a couple of times, it's much more than that

00:01:20.060 he's got to juggle a whole bunch of stuff

00:01:21.480 the chat in the on the website for example anyway difficult for him especially if the chat is like

00:01:27.140 reasonably fast um to catch this sort of thing so we've decided i've decided uh want to make

00:01:35.780 one or two of you guys the glorious band that shows a few mods well offer it first to gold

00:01:41.040 tier members like seater's gold tier members and or silver tier members i'll speak to people in

00:01:46.580 the office the power brokers in the office people actually do stuff behind

00:01:51.300 the scenes on the website all sorts of things if

00:01:54.100 you're a gold or silver tier lotus eaters.com member

00:02:00.420 and you regularly watch the beau show breakfast with beau

00:02:06.820 beau's breakfast club hashtag the real bbc if you're a regular watcher you're a

00:02:10.260 gold or silver tier member and you fancy that

00:02:12.900 send us an email and we'll we'll consider you

00:02:18.580 the main requisite is that you watch it most mornings

00:02:23.460 we'll do two or three mods so that we can relatively quickly just get rid of scammers 0.97

00:02:28.420 a week or two ago there was some sort of indian scammer person literally 0.95

00:02:32.100 saying like please sir please help me out please send me money 0.98

00:02:35.220 just block those people immediately so i'm being a complete douchebag just taking the piss out of 0.85

00:02:39.780 everything i say and lotus eaters and restore and anything that's righteous and good and right of 0.92

00:02:47.380 center just block them so all we need is your gold tier silver tier uh you watch it regularly

00:02:54.660 and and you're not power drunk that's the other thing with mods isn't it classic thing

00:02:59.460 classic thing you make someone a mod and they immediately become like drunk on the power and

00:03:04.320 start blocking all over the place we don't want that don't do that we want you to be light touch

00:03:08.280 with it only if someone's being a real douchebag like repeatedly they just keep spamming stuff or 0.90

00:03:14.100 everything they say is just like a dick comment over and over and over again all we'd want you 0.95

00:03:20.160 to do is just block them anyway we'll do that if you're one of those people if that describes you

00:03:27.340 send us an email and we'll put you in the running to do something like that all right that's enough

00:03:33.660 anything about those that's that's more than a faffing for one morning should we get into it

00:03:38.940 what's the legacy corporate mainstream media hanging on about this morning what does that

00:03:43.020 cabal of evil fleet street editors think is important you need to know or not know lying

00:03:47.900 by omission don't talk about ehood barrack yeah and the fifth baron rothschild yeah do that

00:04:27.200 I.e. like win the World Cup

00:04:28.720 And Widdicombe suspect probe

00:04:30.780 So the other biggest story of the day is still Anne Widdicombe

00:04:33.640 Alright, the mirror, it's football

00:04:35.280 So I'll just skip it

00:04:36.280 Other than to say Jeff Hurst, West Ham legend

00:04:39.040 Who scored that goal, that fourth goal against West Germany

00:04:41.200 In the 1966 World Cup final

00:04:42.380 He says we can do it

00:04:43.780 England can do it

00:04:46.420 The Sun, World Cup

00:04:48.880 It's in your hands now lads, okay

00:04:50.320 See what I'm whipping through it, don't worry I'm whipping through it

00:04:52.320 Mixed West football again, roar them on 1.00

00:04:54.680 Because they're Lions aren't they, three Lions on a shirt

00:04:56.700 Three lions, aren't they? They're lions of men. We're the lions, aren't we?

00:05:01.500 And the lions roar. You can roar them on now.

00:05:07.500 Metro, ew.

00:05:17.180 Bad taste of the mouth. It's like hairspray. What's that?

00:05:20.280 Keir Starmer, apparently he is going to go to

00:05:25.600 If England get to the final

00:05:27.200 So Keir Starling is physically, personally going to go there

00:05:31.740 And be in the stadium

00:05:32.660 Against Spain

00:05:33.800 Spain beat France yesterday

00:05:35.400 So if we win the final

00:05:37.280 The World Cup final

00:05:38.420 Will be against Spain

00:05:40.600 Okay 0.98

00:05:41.020 Don't worry, don't worry

00:05:42.800 Don't worry

00:05:43.600 Don't have to type yawn in the chat

00:05:46.200 just glance down at the chat people are doing exactly that why not of course

00:05:54.000 of course the daily star look even a lionel messi look-alike is back in england he doesn't

00:06:00.660 look much like lionel messi does he i mean maybe a little bit there but i always think it's weird

00:06:05.660 when you've got a look at a professional look-alike and they don't really look like the person

00:06:09.180 all right the daily mail you're a globalist slot trying to pretend it isn't it's a football okay

00:06:14.060 Now we've got a proper story

00:06:14.920 Finally

00:06:15.300 Prop story

00:06:16.740 Alright

00:06:17.720 And Whittacombe

00:06:18.820 He 0.88

00:06:20.180 The suspect

00:06:21.080 May have plotted to kill others

00:06:22.960 Including reform MPs

00:06:24.500 Yeah

00:06:25.620 Whittacombe's suspect

00:06:27.020 Probed over left wing extremism

00:06:29.340 It's funny

00:06:32.040 I've rarely

00:06:33.080 Rarely

00:06:34.020 If ever

00:06:34.800 Heard

00:06:35.500 Seen it in print

00:06:37.260 Seen left wing extremism

00:06:39.080 Even in print

00:06:39.920 Very very rarely

00:06:41.720 If ever

00:06:44.060 Do they explicitly ever say that

00:06:48.060 When something is sort of fairly clearly left-wing extremism

00:06:52.760 They'll just use other words to describe it

00:06:55.060 Okay, have a little read of this

00:06:58.400 Police investigating Anne Whittacombe's murder

00:07:00.420 Are probing whether the suspect planned to kill other politicians

00:07:03.360 Because remember he was re-arrested by

00:07:05.800 Actual terror police

00:07:09.140 For sort of planning acts of terrorism

00:07:14.760 It's starting to emerge isn't it

00:07:16.940 It seems like from the data points we've got over the last 24 hours or so

00:07:19.500 That it may well have been that it wasn't just a complete one off

00:07:22.980 Like he was just fixated with Anne Widdicombe for some reason

00:07:26.680 And did what he did

00:07:29.900 But it may have been part of a wider set of plans he had

00:07:34.640 That seems to be what's emerging, what the police have told us

00:07:39.140 Okay, yeah

00:07:41.320 Whether the suspect planned to kill other politicians

00:07:43.340 Detectives are examining

00:07:45.220 If left-winning extremism

00:07:47.300 Fuelled the brutal attack

00:07:48.740 On the 78-year-old

00:07:50.140 Who was bludgeoned to death in her remote

00:07:52.940 Devon home last week

00:07:54.140 Yeah

00:07:57.780 I mean, it seems

00:08:00.920 That it was that way

00:08:02.720 Why would you hate

00:08:04.940 Ann Widdicombe so much if it wasn't that

00:08:06.980 Another bit of reporting I saw, they say

00:08:08.540 The police, the terror police, are looking into investigating, pulling the threads on the idea that his motive

00:08:16.940 Because they're still saying, we're not sure of the motive, we're still trying to find out the motive

00:08:19.820 Saying, it might have been like a single issue

00:08:22.600 Gayness

00:08:27.400 And LGBTQ issues

00:08:32.460 Well if it was a targeted attack 1.00

00:08:37.200 Which it was, of course it was

00:08:38.660 And now the police are saying that

00:08:40.100 Because of course it was

00:08:43.040 Put it this way

00:08:45.740 Look at it from the other

00:08:47.140 From another angle

00:08:49.540 It's unlikely he murdered Anne Whittacombe

00:08:52.100 From the right

00:08:53.220 That she was too much of a lefty for him

00:08:57.020 He was an ultra, ultra, ultra right wing person 0.98

00:09:00.300 And Ann Widdicombe was too milquetoast

00:09:03.500 No, it will be left-wing, won't it?

00:09:06.080 It will be left-wing 0.87

00:09:06.900 Who else would murder Ann Widdicombe on political grounds 0.99

00:09:10.380 Other than a left-winger?

00:09:12.380 Of course

00:09:12.740 The Times

00:09:19.440 Millions more forced to work till 68

00:09:24.700 Under new pension age plan

00:09:27.340 Yeah, yeah, as I said before

00:09:29.420 I've talked about pensions once or twice before on the Bo Show

00:09:31.920 They'll keep putting it up

00:09:35.060 Every few years or so it just ticks up

00:09:37.480 The age at which you get a state pension

00:09:39.580 Until it will be really quite old

00:09:41.440 And then at some point they'll just say no, the coffers are empty

00:09:43.640 We're bankrupt

00:09:44.880 As a state, effectively

00:09:46.960 You don't get one at all

00:09:49.120 I doubt I'll get one

00:09:51.360 45 this year

00:09:54.220 By the time I'm

00:09:56.520 70 odd

00:09:59.100 I doubt there will be one

00:10:02.460 Okay 0.89

00:10:03.940 Widdicombe's suspect may have targeted

00:10:06.640 Other MPs

00:10:07.740 Police exploring if attack was part of a wider plot

00:10:10.520 Okay

00:10:17.180 This is a tiny, tiny, tiny

00:10:20.860 Bit of good news perhaps

00:10:22.640 Burnham's key allies

00:10:24.700 Say Miliband won't get into

00:10:27.020 Number 11

00:10:27.520 If that's true, if that's correct, that'd be great

00:10:30.640 Andy Bumham, King of the North, no Stern and Burnham

00:10:33.440 Is saying he will announce his team

00:10:38.700 On Monday, this coming Monday

00:10:41.400 There was talk, wasn't there, did you see it?

00:10:45.680 Did you see this? Did you hear about this?

00:10:47.860 That he was considering bringing back David Miliband

00:10:50.640 Anyone remember David Miliband?

00:10:52.940 I guess, Harry, you don't

00:10:55.200 no you don't okay no worries sorry you know that's no shade at you when I ask you that I'm

00:11:02.500 just checking what a zoomer might or might not know I'm not okay good good he's fine with it

00:11:07.360 good uh so people that are a bit older will remember David Miliband who's foreign secretary

00:11:11.700 wasn't he and he was in uh he was in the Blair government the brown government and stuff and

00:11:15.500 after Ed Miliband beat him for the leadership he just retired from politics basically there was

00:11:19.920 talk that no stone of burnham will bring him back to the lords ennoble him make him appear

00:11:27.280 first baron milliband and then make him the foreign secretary because he used to be the

00:11:32.560 foreign secretary so it's like you know i haven't heard much talk of that since we'll see we'll see

00:11:39.280 but ed milliband i'll say back to ed milliband edward redhead

00:11:42.640 Word coming out of the Burnham camp

00:11:47.360 Is that he won't be given

00:11:49.920 The number 11

00:11:51.640 Being Chancellor of the Exchequer

00:11:52.900 Because they said they feared

00:11:54.140 It's basically

00:11:55.420 Edmund Bound will be a lightning rod

00:11:58.240 That's the quote

00:11:59.240 A lightning rod for criticism of the government

00:12:01.920 Yeah

00:12:02.660 Yeah it would be

00:12:05.440 It would be

00:12:06.040 All the headlines will be about him

00:12:08.980 A lot of the time

00:12:10.140 And how he's personally ruining the country

00:12:12.060 I imagine 1.00

00:12:17.720 Bumham will have to give Red Ed 1.00

00:12:20.380 Another sweet job though

00:12:21.880 Simply because Ed Miliband

00:12:24.740 Represents just a big block of Labour MPs

00:12:27.400 A big faction in the Parliamentary Labour Party

00:12:29.580 Are loyal

00:12:30.300 Personally loyal to Red Ed

00:12:32.460 And so in order to keep all of those on side

00:12:34.980 And keep them voting with the government

00:12:37.280 When no Stern and Burnham

00:12:39.700 Wants to get things through Parliament 1.00

00:12:41.180 We'll have to keep Redhead sweet 1.00

00:12:43.080 So if he doesn't give him number 11 1.00

00:12:45.880 Which is what Redhead always wanted 1.00

00:12:47.360 He's going to have to give him something else 0.91

00:12:49.340 Pretty good isn't he

00:12:50.440 Would we end up with

00:12:53.040 Edmund Abandon's like home secretary

00:12:55.040 That's still terrible

00:12:56.140 I don't want that man anywhere near the levers of power remotely

00:12:59.480 Put him somewhere fairly inconsistently

00:13:01.760 If you have to have him in cabinet

00:13:03.020 Make him minister without portfolio or something

00:13:07.600 Give him like the Department of Culture

00:13:09.340 And Sport or something

00:13:10.300 I don't know

00:13:11.140 Alright

00:13:14.400 There is some suggestion that

00:13:17.160 No Sterner Burnham

00:13:18.580 With his guyliner and Manscara 0.92

00:13:21.300 Is considering making Shabana Mahmood

00:13:23.860 The Chancellor of the Exchequer

00:13:26.680 Does she know anything about economics

00:13:30.860 Political economy 0.77

00:13:31.800 Does she

00:13:33.220 I don't think so

00:13:35.040 Probably not

00:13:35.720 I don't know

00:13:36.320 I've never heard her talk about it

00:13:38.540 In any way, shape or form

00:13:39.900 She's just a DEI hire isn't she

00:13:44.260 Oh we need a 1.00

00:13:45.660 It would be great if we had a Pakistani woman on the list 1.00

00:13:48.220 Let's just find one of those 1.00

00:13:49.800 Which isn't completely inept in front of a microphone 0.93

00:13:52.540 Tick 0.99

00:13:53.080 She'd actually know anything about public policy 0.54

00:13:55.560 In order to be the Home Secretary

00:13:57.600 Doesn't matter 1.00

00:13:58.220 It's a Pakistani woman 1.00

00:14:01.100 You've got the job love 1.00

00:14:02.800 Does she know anything about economics

00:14:06.220 Macroeconomics or anything at all really

00:14:08.520 Economic theory

00:14:10.360 Doesn't matter 1.00

00:14:12.240 She's our token brown woman 1.00

00:14:14.780 So put her in the treasury 1.00

00:14:16.740 And number 11

00:14:17.440 Mad isn't it

00:14:19.180 This our governments have conducted

00:14:21.240 Absolutely mad

00:14:22.640 We must be mad

00:14:23.960 Literally mad 0.99

00:14:25.240 Give them the whip hand 0.96

00:14:27.400 Okay the Guardian

00:14:33.700 Ooh

00:14:34.100 Ooh

00:14:36.100 Who are you looking at?

00:14:40.940 Who do you think you're talking to?

00:14:45.100 The Guardian, who do they think they're talking to?

00:14:51.960 Their ever-dwindling readership.

00:14:58.620 Your classic Guardian reader.

00:15:01.460 It's not really young people. Young people don't buy newspapers.

00:15:03.620 probably not many people under 40 or 50

00:15:08.380 buy a newspaper

00:15:09.880 so it would be old 0.98

00:15:14.280 champagne socialist boomers

00:15:17.540 buy the Guardian

00:15:19.200 think the Guardian is good

00:15:22.260 agree with Guardian opinion pieces 0.76

00:15:25.440 old socialists 1.00

00:15:30.560 Who are the problem

00:15:34.440 Labour voters to the core

00:15:38.040 Regardless of how many murders and rapes

00:15:40.660 They've facilitated 0.95

00:15:41.460 Regardless of the invasion and demographic decline 1.00

00:15:43.880 And sectarian nightmare they've locked into our country 1.00

00:15:46.240 Regardless of still vote Labour always

00:15:47.880 And by the Guardian

00:15:48.860 Filth

00:15:50.740 Stop it

00:15:55.040 They won't

00:15:58.580 They'll never ever stop

00:15:59.480 The leftoid boomer 0.97

00:16:02.900 Will never stop

00:16:04.100 Till their dying day

00:16:04.940 They can't

00:16:06.840 They can't

00:16:07.960 Can they

00:16:08.300 That would

00:16:09.780 To be

00:16:10.440 To admit

00:16:11.160 That everything

00:16:11.760 They think is wrong

00:16:12.760 And they won't do that

00:16:13.900 They'll go to their grave

00:16:14.900 First

00:16:15.340 Shout out to the 1.00

00:16:20.820 Base boomers 1.00

00:16:21.360 You can't beat 0.98

00:16:24.600 A good base boomer

00:16:25.520 Some of the most

00:16:26.280 Base people 1.00

00:16:26.940 Are older people 1.00

00:16:27.820 When you find them 0.70

00:16:29.000 unfortunately they're in the minority aren't they but whenever i have a little pop or mention boomers 0.70

00:16:34.760 in the pejorative i always want to give a shout out to the based boomers 0.95

00:16:42.040 some of them by the same token sort of will go to their grave being based

00:16:50.040 love it okay police examine possible left-wing motive for whittaker murder really is possible is

00:16:56.440 is it? Counter-terrorism investigators say killing was a targeted attack. Of course it

00:17:03.380 was. No one believed it in the first few days, three, four days, when the police were saying

00:17:08.400 there's no political motive. I think we're stupid, don't they? They often treat us as 1.00

00:17:19.440 Though we're idiot children 1.00

00:17:20.980 Here's another story 1.00

00:17:24.080 Johnson, Boris Johnson

00:17:25.540 Who really should be on trial for crimes against the nation

00:17:29.860 That Boris Johnson

00:17:31.160 Deliberately flooded us with foreign invaders

00:17:36.040 To the tune of hundreds of thousands or millions

00:17:40.200 That Boris Johnson

00:17:41.940 Arch traitor 0.85

00:17:42.980 Boris Johnson

00:17:44.860 Wasted £10 billion on Covid PPE

00:17:48.700 PPE is like personal protection equipment

00:17:51.900 Things like masks and gloves and gowns and various things

00:17:56.180 For people in the public sector

00:17:58.540 Story is he wasted £10 billion on that

00:18:02.940 Something in the order of £15 billion was spent on it

00:18:06.640 Just shy of £15 billion was spent on that stuff

00:18:11.340 For like, you know, hospitals or anything in the public sector

00:18:14.540 You know, like police and whatever

00:18:15.860 Even schools and stuff

00:18:17.560 So I mean the order of 15 billion pounds

00:18:20.680 Was spent on that

00:18:21.500 Masks and gloves and whatever

00:18:23.900 Two thirds of it, 10 billion pounds

00:18:26.500 Was wasted

00:18:27.060 It was no good

00:18:31.480 Those masks and gloves or whatever it was

00:18:34.040 Various things actually

00:18:34.960 Just weren't

00:18:37.020 Didn't work properly, weren't up to snuff

00:18:39.160 It was just a waste

00:18:41.400 The Covid inquiry was found

00:18:43.120 and that a lot of the contracts for the companies that did it

00:18:52.040 were just somehow connected to the Tory party or Boris.

00:18:57.080 You know that classic thing when people get into power

00:18:58.800 and then they just award their own friends lucrative contracts,

00:19:03.800 things like that?

00:19:04.420 Meanwhile it was basically just the flu wasn't it

00:19:15.280 Every single year

00:19:17.420 Every single year

00:19:20.540 In the autumn, late autumn and over winter

00:19:24.060 Lots and lots of people, thousands of people die of the flu

00:19:29.040 Because if you're already old and weak

00:19:32.420 That is often what kills you

00:19:35.420 Even if you're dying of something really bad

00:19:37.240 Like, you know, cancer or something

00:19:39.180 What often finally kills you

00:19:42.960 Is something like the flu

00:19:44.760 Your other diseases and your other infirmities

00:19:49.060 And just super, super old age

00:19:50.940 Weakens you in every different angle

00:19:54.780 Weakens your autoimmune system

00:19:56.380 To the point where you get something like flu

00:20:00.280 And that's what actually ends up giving you a heart attack or something

00:20:02.940 And that's what kills you

00:20:03.900 Okay, so that's a reality

00:20:06.200 Every single year without fail, that happens

00:20:08.420 So they thought they would weaponise that

00:20:14.320 They'll weaponise that and try and tell the world

00:20:20.380 That that's some sort of pandemic

00:20:23.180 And we all need to be locked down

00:20:24.880 And we need to spend loads of money

00:20:27.080 Insane amounts of money

00:20:28.260 Destroy the economy in all sorts of ways

00:20:30.420 Not destroy

00:20:31.420 Damage the economy in lots and lots of different ways

00:20:34.020 Ruin loads and loads of businesses

00:20:35.880 Keep people under house arrest

00:20:38.000 Because of that

00:20:40.200 We'll weaponise those statistics

00:20:41.780 That people die

00:20:42.580 Even tens of thousands of people die of the flu

00:20:44.620 We'll weaponise that

00:20:46.500 Insane 0.99

00:20:50.500 And we'll push a jab on you

00:20:52.160 Which doesn't seem to work

00:20:53.200 Did it work?

00:20:54.180 Did that jab work?

00:20:55.240 No, not really, no

00:20:58.260 remember this old breakthrough cases no no a normal vaccination it should be extremely extremely

00:21:06.520 extremely rare that there's a breakthrough case meaning you do get the vaccination but it basically

00:21:12.800 doesn't take it doesn't work and you still get the disease anyway you know like a you know you've got

00:21:17.180 smallpox vaccination you did get it but you still got smallpox somehow that would be extremely

00:21:23.160 statistically very very very very rare if it's like one percent then that vaccine there's a

00:21:29.240 massive shadow over that vaccine that vaccine isn't up stuff isn't good enough right so when

00:21:35.080 the covid vaccine came out and loads of people still got covid well then that's not a proper

00:21:42.280 vaccine that isn't a real vaccine oh it's 90 effective that's nowhere near good enough

00:21:49.240 Well it's not a proper vaccine then

00:21:51.440 Well it's only 60% effective

00:21:53.060 Not really a vaccine for that disease then is it

00:21:59.320 Then it begs the question

00:22:02.360 What is it

00:22:03.080 What is that chemical

00:22:04.000 What is that liquid

00:22:05.400 You want everyone to inject into them

00:22:07.160 What is it then

00:22:08.340 It's not a COVID vaccine

00:22:11.000 What was that

00:22:13.540 That whole period

00:22:16.660 That whole COVID lockdown period

00:22:18.760 and vaccine thing

00:22:19.580 was mad

00:22:21.620 what a mad thing

00:22:22.460 we lived through that

00:22:23.220 it was obviously

00:22:26.000 just an exercise

00:22:26.880 in control

00:22:28.380 and power

00:22:28.800 wasn't it

00:22:29.300 let's see

00:22:31.300 if we can

00:22:32.300 lock down

00:22:33.100 put the vast majority

00:22:34.360 of people

00:22:34.680 under house arrest

00:22:35.740 on the strength 0.91

00:22:37.180 of a liar 0.66

00:22:37.780 let's see 0.94

00:22:38.960 how they react

00:22:40.040 to that

00:22:40.460 that's what that was

00:22:42.720 let's see if we can

00:22:44.420 make our friends

00:22:45.080 in big pharma

00:22:45.920 untold amounts

00:22:46.800 of money

00:22:47.240 At the same time

00:22:51.340 That's what that was

00:22:52.580 It wasn't about public health

00:22:55.100 It wasn't about 1.00

00:22:56.580 Looking out for granny

00:22:58.600 Let's try and save granny's life 1.00

00:23:00.540 You need to be under house arrest and not visit granny 1.00

00:23:03.040 In order to save her life 1.00

00:23:04.020 If you don't stay in house arrest 1.00

00:23:06.920 You're killing the old 1.00

00:23:08.320 What a despicable set of liars 1.00

00:23:14.840 And then on top of everything else 0.99

00:23:19.160 Wasting billions and billions

00:23:21.240 Like that

00:23:27.800 In Bowes Britain

00:23:28.880 I would put Boris Johnson on trial

00:23:30.920 Crimes against the people

00:23:36.060 In our paper

00:23:40.620 Shall we quickly read the blurb

00:23:42.060 Ann Widcombe killed in targeted attack

00:23:46.060 UK counter-terror police chief's reveal

00:23:48.960 Detectives are still trying to understand the attacker's motive

00:23:52.120 Are they worried?

00:23:55.680 If you say so

00:23:56.840 The police inquiry into Ann Widcombe's murder

00:23:59.280 Will also look into whether the suspect

00:24:01.320 May have been targeting any other reform UK politicians

00:24:06.400 Britain's leading counter-terror officer says

00:24:09.780 He said, this is a quote from him

00:24:11.620 It is clear that this was a targeted attack

00:24:14.660 Oh, thanks for that, Sherlock

00:24:18.580 Thanks for that

00:24:20.580 You had a team of guys working around the clock on that one, did you?

00:24:28.260 Thanks for stating the obvious

00:24:29.700 That everyone knew the second we found out

00:24:32.280 It travelled 270 miles to a really remote property

00:24:35.900 Why did you guys lie about it then?

00:24:39.800 Beforehand, yeah, lied, yeah

00:24:41.960 You didn't accidentally come out and say

00:24:44.560 It's not politically motivated

00:24:46.800 You didn't accidentally do that

00:24:47.920 You didn't do that by accident

00:24:50.880 A 78 year old gave TV interview 20 minutes before she was killed

00:24:57.580 Yeah, we know

00:24:58.100 How's this news?

00:25:00.420 Old news

00:25:01.280 Brother and man, 28, being questioned

00:25:04.920 After arrest on suspicion

00:25:06.560 Of the commission preparation and instigation

00:25:09.460 of acts of terrorism. That's sort of the key thing, that phrase. Commission preparation 0.88

00:25:15.880 or instigation of acts of terrorism. That is more than just the murder of Ann Widdicombe,

00:25:23.800 isn't it? It's like a broader set of actions he was at least planning. Nigel Farage accepts

00:25:32.440 new offer from Home Secretary to discuss his security after the iPaper revealed he turned

00:25:37.820 down taxpayer funded protection, claiming his state protection was downgraded.

00:25:47.820 How Hannah Waddington conquered the world at 50? 1.00

00:25:51.820 Boobs. Is that what it is? 0.92

00:25:55.820 Conquered the world.

00:25:57.820 How Sidney Sweeney conquered the world? 0.95

00:26:00.820 Boobs.

00:26:05.820 Sidney Sweeney and Hannah Waddington, for example,

00:26:08.640 Waddingham, sorry, Waddingham.

00:26:11.180 They haven't got anything interesting to say, have they?

00:26:13.500 They haven't got any profound insights into anything.

00:26:16.020 They're not interesting.

00:26:19.600 So why are they super famous and all over the papers all the time? 1.00

00:26:24.160 Boobs. That's all it is. 1.00

00:26:25.960 That's all that is.

00:26:28.060 Obviously. Obviously.

00:26:31.180 You ever heard Sidney Sweeney say anything interesting?

00:26:34.780 No, of course not. No.

00:26:35.820 Right, the Daily Telegraph, the Tory graph

00:26:39.680 Inside England's plan to stop Messi

00:26:42.840 Probably won't, it probably won't

00:26:44.980 It's sort of an unstoppable plan

00:26:46.120 Although I said that about Harlan, didn't I?

00:26:49.960 Alright, don't worry about it, you don't have to type me on in the chat

00:26:52.360 Alzheimer's drug could stop disease

00:26:56.020 Major trial for new medicine

00:26:58.880 That could prevent onset of degenerative condition

00:27:01.740 Well, if that's true, great, right?

00:27:05.820 brilliant if that's true alzheimer's disease and diseases similar to it are terrible aren't they

00:27:14.620 i mean i'm stating the obvious they're they're it's terrible the word terrible doesn't doesn't

00:27:21.340 do it justice if things like that can be nipped in the bud brilliant brilliant said before haven't i

00:27:33.900 About

00:27:35.280 Big Pharma

00:27:36.860 I was having a pop at them just a moment ago

00:27:39.800 On one level they're absolutely evil

00:27:41.740 Aren't they? One of the worst things

00:27:43.920 In our modern world

00:27:44.920 A cabal of pure evil

00:27:47.760 And at the same time

00:27:50.920 One of the greatest achievements

00:27:53.400 Of civilisation and humanity

00:27:55.100 That you can get little pills

00:27:58.220 Or injections of things

00:27:59.400 Which save you from a horror death

00:28:03.900 From living in pain, chronic pain

00:28:07.300 From a sort of a fate worse than death, a living death type situation

00:28:12.900 It can save you from that

00:28:14.800 Extend our life expectancy for decades

00:28:21.400 Medical science, modern medical science

00:28:24.900 A wonder in all sorts of ways

00:28:27.100 The shame, the cabal, the managerial class that controls it is

00:28:30.600 Deeply cynical and often evil

00:28:35.080 British citizens' fingerprints to be taken as they enter Gibraltar 1.00

00:28:39.360 Yeah, why not?

00:28:40.720 This fingerprint stuff and eye recognition, iris recognition thing

00:28:44.060 I will resist it for as long as I possibly can

00:28:53.020 Years ago, I knew someone who worked in a school, a teacher

00:28:58.440 And they said that, yeah, secondary school

00:29:00.300 and in that secondary school they'd brought in some sort of fingerprint it might even have been

00:29:06.360 iris recognition thing for the school canteen and if if you wanted to use the school canteen

00:29:15.000 to buy a lunch or bag of crisps at break time or whatever they took you it was like a finger i

00:29:23.140 think it was a fingerprint scanner and you'd already they'd already scanned your iris and

00:29:28.940 Yeah, in order to use it, it was that

00:29:31.380 This was years ago as well, this was like over 10 years ago

00:29:36.140 Very, very dystopian that to me

00:29:39.220 Why do you need my fingerprint? Why do you want to scan my iris?

00:29:44.080 No

00:29:44.440 Unless that's done against my will, I won't let that happen

00:29:48.080 If I get to, I'm going on holiday one day

00:29:50.900 And I get to the airport and they're like

00:29:52.980 Oh, we just need to take your fingerprint and scan your iris

00:29:55.480 Or scan your iris

00:29:56.300 I'll be like, well, no, I'm not going on holiday, then forget it

00:29:58.340 I'm not doing it

00:29:59.740 No

00:30:00.760 We haven't done anything wrong Bo

00:30:02.440 What are you worried about?

00:30:04.840 Not the point

00:30:05.700 That's not the point

00:30:07.220 I will resist that

00:30:11.100 As much as I possibly can

00:30:13.040 Probably end up happening

00:30:13.960 Anyway

00:30:14.940 There'll be some sort of circumstance

00:30:16.220 I can try some sort of circumstance

00:30:17.720 Where you effectively have to

00:30:19.860 The bank won't let you have your mortgage anymore

00:30:24.220 Unless they've got your iris on record

00:30:26.240 Something like that

00:30:28.340 You won't be able to buy food

00:30:31.880 Unless they've got your fingerprint

00:30:33.160 Yeah, we know

00:30:39.040 BBC licence fee payers

00:30:41.680 Fall by half a million

00:30:42.880 I hate the BBC, I wrote an article

00:30:47.560 On lotusseaters.com

00:30:49.000 One of the first articles I wrote years ago

00:30:53.120 Saying we need to talk about

00:30:55.600 Aunty

00:32:15.260 what good is the bbc well every now and again you get a documentary a decent documentary by like uh

00:32:19.900 David Attenborough or something. Once in a blue moon they'll make some some piece of drama which

00:32:24.940 isn't too bad. But in fact even that now is completely wokefied. They won't make a bit of

00:32:31.340 drama which they haven't crowbarred in a black and brown people unnecessarily. Race swapped them. 1.00

00:32:37.900 Something about the 11th century. Something about the Anglo-Saxons or the Norman invasion 0.82

00:33:14.940 I hope that BBC Verify is supposed to be funny

00:33:20.000 Of course it's not

00:33:20.660 They're trying to be serious aren't they

00:33:21.700 But it's a joke right

00:33:23.920 A bad joke 1.00

00:33:26.060 Who's that young woman who sort of fronts it 1.00

00:33:33.580 What was her name

00:33:35.160 I can't remember her name now 0.87

00:33:36.960 Just a complete hand-picked establishment shill

00:33:41.000 from start to finish was it mariana something mariana spring that's it mariana spring she's 1.00

00:33:49.080 going to be the arbiter of truth for you need you to pay 180 pound a year every year without fail 0.93

00:33:56.380 so that mariana spring can act as the gatekeeper of what is or isn't true 1.00

00:34:03.120 It's not a good deal

00:34:05.780 That's an absurd deal

00:34:09.080 Mariana Spring

00:34:12.080 Right, okay

00:34:12.740 Yeah, yeah, yeah

00:34:13.960 It would be funny

00:34:17.980 If it wasn't so revolting

00:34:20.020 BBC Verify

00:34:23.500 Aren't you just supposed to be

00:34:25.420 Aren't you supposed to be

00:34:26.080 Verifying everything anyway

00:34:27.120 Why suddenly this new layer

00:34:29.200 This new completely contrived layer

00:34:31.780 Of verification

00:34:33.060 Oh, the BBC

00:34:35.740 I would defund it

00:34:37.360 In both Britain

00:34:37.940 It would absolutely be defunded

00:34:40.100 I would take away its Royal Charter

00:34:41.920 Try to pass an Act of Parliament

00:34:45.380 To just take away its Royal Charter

00:34:47.700 Not a penny

00:34:48.880 Not a penny more

00:34:50.500 Let it stand on its own two feet

00:34:53.220 Like any other news organ

00:34:55.220 See how well it does

00:34:56.740 Oh, it's a great British institution

00:35:00.540 Don't care

00:35:01.200 And it's not great

00:35:02.080 No, it's not great

00:35:03.060 But it's been subversive ever since it began in the 1920s

00:35:06.780 Peddling leftism

00:35:08.180 Ever since the 1920s

00:35:10.460 Since inception

00:35:11.180 Get rid of it

00:35:14.700 Clear it out

00:35:40.240 Insanely higher

00:35:42.620 Is that true?

00:35:44.480 Yeah 0.84

00:35:44.780 Do you want to verify that Mariana?

00:35:46.860 Verify that

00:36:53.980 Berkshire Hathaway

00:36:54.940 Berkshire and Hathaway

00:36:59.060 As well

00:36:59.720 Gives loads and loads

00:37:01.140 He's one of those

00:37:02.080 Multi multi billionaires

00:37:03.260 Who says

00:37:03.620 When I die

00:37:05.080 I'm only going to give my kids

00:37:06.140 He's got a number of kids

00:37:06.900 He says I'm only going to give them

00:37:07.780 A few million each

00:37:08.720 Two million or five million dollars

00:37:10.960 A piece or something

00:37:11.760 You know

00:37:12.340 Make sure they don't go hungry

00:37:13.320 He's not just going to

00:37:15.300 Give his children

00:37:16.580 Billions and billions of pounds

00:37:17.800 And he lives in a normal sized house

00:37:19.720 A big house

00:37:22.540 But not a crazy

00:37:23.480 sprawling complex you know not a castle or anything um and when you listen to him speak

00:37:32.640 in interviews he's just pretty damn down to earth for a self-made billionaire and he's a family man

00:37:38.880 and he's interesting and you know he's not he's not a phony like paul pelosi

00:37:44.480 he's the real deal when he talks about stocks equities or just the economy in general he does

00:37:52.280 know what he's talking about he's proven it again and again and again and again and again

00:37:55.160 value investing value investing you look you find a company see how much it's worth on on the market

00:38:02.360 and then come to a decision about how much that company's really worth what its true value is

00:38:09.300 so looking to all the main players on the board or the ceo look at what they already own or don't

00:38:15.480 own look at all the contracts they've got might get in the future or that sort of thing

00:38:19.780 make come to a conclusion of what the true value of that company is and then if what they're

00:38:27.640 trading for on the stock exchange is like way below that buy it and then hold on to it forever

00:38:32.020 then diamond hands it like basically don't really think about selling it that's it that's value

00:38:38.660 investing

00:38:39.060 Warren Buffett ladies and gentlemen I think he's a very interesting man

00:38:49.320 i think he's a little bit it's a little bit woke though isn't he i think i think

00:38:53.920 it's often the way when you ever say or someone uh i like someone or other in the world i think

00:39:02.660 they're interesting they're good there'll always be someone in the youtube comments or in the chat

00:39:06.960 or something yeah going yeah yeah yeah but they are woke but they did come out and say they were

00:39:11.900 for hb1 or whatever h1b what was that thing i can't even remember they're actually a globalist

00:39:19.400 open boarders person or whatever i don't know anyway all right so that's the front pages

00:39:23.260 should we have a look at our um should we have a look at our poll today we always look at our

00:39:29.000 poll about this time of the show don't we what did we ask you guys over 1300 ticking up towards

00:39:35.100 1400 votes we asked you guys oh are you looking forward to the world cup finishing they've asked

00:39:41.220 about football before i think even twice but we're phrasing it this way because again if you're not

00:39:46.160 aware i think i mentioned yesterday this sunday is the world cup final so probably on monday morning

00:39:51.180 well it will be monday morning it'll be all over the papers on monday morning and then it's done

00:39:56.120 it's over right you hate football it will all be over quite quickly quite soon monday will be the

00:40:03.880 last day of it all okay we asked are you looking forward to the world cup finishing and we gave

00:40:11.700 you yes no and completely indifferent 14% of you say no you're not looking forward to it over i.e

00:40:20.160 you are football fans you love a bit of the world cup and 43% apiece for yes and completely

00:40:26.960 indifferent so it is the vast majority of the audience of both show don't like football or

00:40:34.400 completely indifferent that's actually a funny turn of phrase i think i've told harry to write

00:40:38.000 that completely indifferent you don't care if the world cup carries on indefinitely then you're

00:40:42.800 completely different now anyway i know i get it all right so 86 percent of you one way or another

00:40:50.400 don't care about it all right just that we double check i've been keeping it to a minimum haven't i

00:40:56.480 as much as possible. This show is about what's in the news cycle so

00:41:00.720 Alright, let's have a look at the price of crude. We do that a bit, don't we?

00:41:05.760 West Texas just shy of $80, Brent crude just over $85

00:41:12.080 Fair amount going on. Do you remember yesterday we talked about how Trump said

00:41:14.640 he was going to introduce a 20% tariff on shipping through the

00:41:18.880 Straits of Hormuz? And I was a bit sarcastic saying oh you know

00:41:22.320 I thought it was a general principle as far as the United States and the State

00:41:26.080 the point was concerned of the free movement of shipping i guess that's been scrapped well

00:41:31.200 trump has already reversed that he's already reversed himself on that he said i'm not gonna do

00:41:37.840 trump threatens to bomb bridges and power plants unless iran resumes talks are we

00:41:44.640 are we back to this let's just make it clear on the ledger out of the united states and the uh

00:41:52.000 Islamic Republic of Iran

00:41:55.900 Fundamentalist Shia theocracy 0.93

00:42:01.360 I am on the side of the United States more 1.00

00:42:05.480 Actually, I don't want to pick either side

00:42:08.600 Because I'm English

00:42:09.300 But if you have to pick a side 0.94

00:42:10.360 Gun to the head

00:42:11.060 You've got to pick a side 0.98

00:42:12.900 Of course it's with the West and the United States 0.93

00:42:16.360 Okay 0.71

00:42:16.980 Never going to be on the side 1.00

00:42:19.780 Of an Islamic 1.00

00:42:21.520 A repressive, murderous 1.00

00:42:23.840 Terroristic 1.00

00:42:25.400 Islamic theocracy 1.00

00:42:26.820 So if I ever throw shade at Trump 0.90

00:42:29.740 And the US and the State Department things

00:42:31.520 It's from a place of

00:42:32.960 Be better 0.99

00:42:35.100 Not that I just hate you, hate them 0.99

00:42:37.280 So

00:42:38.900 We're back to this

00:42:41.160 Trump threatening to bomb bridges and power plants

00:42:44.340 Unless Iran resumes talks

00:42:46.240 I thought you were done

00:42:47.900 With the talking bit, Donald 1.00

00:42:49.760 I thought you said they were scum and they were cuckoo in the head 1.00

00:42:52.580 And they can't be reasoned with 1.00

00:42:55.660 And now you're back to trying to get them to talk

00:42:59.980 Now you're back to threatening to blow up their bridges and plans

00:43:03.980 I mean overnight they struck dozens of more targets

00:43:06.880 The US struck dozens of more targets in Iran apparently

00:43:10.080 According to the report

00:43:11.100 One angle, well in fact this exact angle

00:43:16.720 Trump retreat over Hormuz Tolles suggests he's struggling to end Iran war

00:43:23.620 Yeah

00:43:23.980 At this point, I don't buy the Dr. Steve Turley angle

00:43:30.680 That this is all part of the plan

00:43:32.020 This is all 4-5-D chess by the Donald

00:43:34.860 And every peak and trough in hostilities is all some brilliant master plan

00:43:41.320 No, I don't think so

00:43:45.520 I think Trump at this point

00:43:47.880 Wants an off-ramp

00:43:48.920 And is struggling to find one

00:43:51.220 He doesn't, I genuinely believe

00:43:53.520 He doesn't want to be

00:43:55.100 The forever war guy

00:43:57.000 He doesn't want a forever war 0.89

00:43:58.800 In Persia

00:44:01.240 Between the United States and Iran 1.00

00:44:03.380 So he will want an off-ramp 1.00

00:44:05.840 And want to finish it

00:44:06.980 Get it done

00:44:07.920 But there's no appetite

00:44:10.860 For boots on the ground

00:44:12.420 He's not going to do a 2003

00:44:14.820 Saddam, Iraq, George Bush Jr. invasion

00:44:18.360 He's not going to do that

00:44:19.220 So short of that

00:44:23.020 He's got to end this politically, diplomatically, economically in some way

00:44:28.220 And he's struggling to do that

00:44:30.140 It's what it looks like

00:44:30.940 It's what it looks like

00:44:34.320 Maybe it'll all work out as Dr Turley says

00:44:40.020 And in years from now, 10 years, 100 years from now

00:44:43.660 historians would look back on it and said Trump and Rubio and Hegseth played an absolute blinder

00:44:49.380 and they were puppeteering Iran, manoeuvring Iran into exactly the place they wanted all along and

00:44:55.800 it all worked perfectly. It looked chaotic at the time but they were playing 4D chess and they played 0.80

00:45:02.640 it brilliantly. Maybe historians will view it that way when looked at later. I don't think so

00:45:09.740 though. I don't think that is the case. Tehran threatens to halt all Mid-East energy exports

00:45:15.860 after US reimposes its blockade. They can't really be reasoned with, can they, Iran? They're not 1.00

00:45:25.380 playing the game that the State Department and the Pentagon want them to play.

00:45:32.380 They're just not doing it.

00:45:33.460 They said the export of oil and gas from the region

00:45:39.240 Will be either for everyone or for no one 0.79

00:45:41.320 That's out of Iran 1.00

00:45:42.440 Well it'll be for no one then will it 1.00

00:45:46.520 Most of the world seem to be making plans

00:45:51.080 Making plans for Nigel

00:45:53.400 Making plans to get their energy

00:45:57.420 Get their crude

00:45:58.840 Get their natural gas and other things

00:46:00.980 Fertiliser whatever

00:46:01.820 All sorts of resources 0.99

00:46:03.660 That came out of the Persian Gulf

00:46:08.400 And came out on shipping through the Straits of Hormuz

00:46:11.200 They're making alternative plans for all of that

00:46:13.560 So Iran's saying

00:46:17.880 It'll be for everyone or no one

00:46:19.720 Well no one then

00:46:20.460 Because it seems, doesn't it

00:46:23.440 Hexith Rubio and Trump and Bibi

00:46:26.300 Are not playing around

00:46:28.080 They wouldn't keep going with all of this

00:46:32.360 Unless they were really quite serious

00:46:34.420 One way or another

00:46:36.400 About attempting

00:46:38.060 To stop attempting 0.98

00:46:39.760 Stop Iran's stranglehold 0.99

00:46:42.700 Over the Straits of Hormuz 0.99

00:46:45.220 Because Iran would be hoping that a statement like that

00:46:48.680 The export of oil and gas from the region 0.52

00:46:51.360 Will be either for everyone or no one

00:46:52.660 Hoping that the world

00:46:54.400 And DC and Jerusalem say 0.94

00:46:56.480 oh well well okay we'll back away then because it needs to be for everyone we'll back away then 0.56

00:47:02.000 we'll back down because it has to be for no for no one then you think that donald and bibi really

00:47:09.780 really really care about if taiwan or china get a big chunk of their energy from persia

00:47:19.680 it's like the philippines now they'll be like you guys the philippines taiwan china you can make

00:47:25.720 Other arrangements

00:47:26.500 Because we're doing this

00:47:27.480 I wouldn't like to be

00:47:31.460 A leader in Iran

00:47:32.920 You are being squeezed

00:47:35.580 In every direction

00:47:36.500 From every direction

00:47:37.960 Okay

00:47:39.980 UK teenagers

00:47:42.740 To face social media curfew

00:47:44.260 And no infinite scrolling

00:47:47.860 But can switch it off

00:47:49.340 Liz Kendall

00:47:52.780 What a great mind

00:47:53.880 What a great politician

00:47:54.760 And Liz Kendall is the UK Technology Secretary

00:47:59.140 Liz Kendall, does she know anything about technology?

00:48:02.680 She's got a background in technology

00:48:04.500 They're saying for 16 and 17 year olds

00:48:11.120 They want to make it so that it's a digital curfew

00:48:15.340 After midnight, you can't go on social media after midnight

00:48:18.920 If you're 16 and 17

00:48:20.140 That's quite a significant curb of your liberty, isn't it?

00:48:27.120 Of your freedom

00:48:27.780 And you can just opt out of it

00:48:30.460 It's just something you can just turn off 1.00

00:48:32.480 The government wants to stop older teens

00:48:34.660 16, 17 year olds

00:48:36.060 Being overwhelmed by social media once they turn 16

00:48:39.600 But the Tories say their proposals are a dog's dinner

00:48:42.640 Yeah, because apparently you can just turn that off

00:48:44.320 That function off

00:48:50.140 What 16 or 17-year-old is going to be there one minute past midnight

00:48:53.240 scrolling through TikTok or YouTube shorts, whatever the hell it is?

00:48:57.820 And he just pops up and says,

00:48:59.020 the government wants you to go to bed now.

00:49:02.460 You can't scroll anymore, but if you just click this one thing, you can. 1.00

00:49:09.020 Yeah, stupid, stupid. 1.00

00:49:13.480 Not really understanding social media or the human nature, is it? 1.00

00:49:18.580 Ridiculous 0.99

00:49:20.260 Ridiculous 1.00

00:49:21.260 Scared Burnham ducks questioning 0.95

00:49:24.800 Tory bid to quiz next Prime Minister

00:49:26.860 Before summer recess

00:49:27.860 Is scuppered by Labour antics

00:49:30.000 So Parliament is set to

00:49:31.780 Go to recess tomorrow

00:49:34.040 Thursday yeah

00:49:34.780 For like weeks

00:49:35.900 Weeks and weeks

00:49:37.020 All over the summer

00:49:37.560 For six weeks

00:49:38.120 Six weeks holidays

00:49:38.960 And the Tory said

00:49:43.800 Give us another day on Monday

00:49:45.420 So that Andy Burnham

00:49:46.880 The new Prime Minister

00:49:47.500 Because he'll be Prime Minister

00:49:48.360 On Monday I think it is

00:49:49.660 Is it on Monday

00:49:50.440 Is the day he moves in

00:49:52.760 He becomes Prime Minister

00:49:53.800 And moves into number 10

00:49:54.620 The Tories are saying

00:49:56.160 No let's schedule another day on Monday

00:49:57.800 So that he can come before Parliament

00:49:59.920 And make a speech

00:50:00.980 And we can ask him a few questions

00:50:02.300 And Labour were just like

00:50:04.280 No we're not doing that

00:50:05.020 Nope

00:50:05.620 You won't find out

00:50:09.380 What Andy Burnham's plan for government is

00:50:12.580 What his true agenda really is

00:50:14.360 No one will find out what that is

00:50:15.800 In any real detail

00:50:16.920 Until Parliament comes back from its six weeks holidays

00:50:19.860 Let's call it what it is

00:50:25.660 A coup d'etat

00:50:26.660 A left wing

00:50:28.380 A parliamentary Labour Party

00:50:30.140 Left wing coup d'etat

00:50:31.560 25 odd thousand Labour voters

00:50:35.980 In a super safe Labour seat

00:50:37.700 And 320, 330 odd left leaning Labour MPs

00:50:42.100 That's all it took

00:50:43.440 To change the leader

00:50:46.440 Your political overlord

00:50:47.980 To somebody you didn't vote for

00:50:50.260 That's called a coup d'etat

00:50:55.040 That's what that's called

00:50:57.120 The messiah without a mandate

00:50:59.880 He's a very naughty boy

00:51:01.700 It's quite a naughty thing to do, isn't it?

00:51:07.500 To conduct a coup d'etat

00:51:09.380 Against the will of the people

00:51:10.680 That is quite naughty

00:51:11.900 He's not the messiah

00:51:14.620 But he's a naughty boy 1.00

00:51:15.600 Idiot scumbag is what he is 1.00

00:51:18.960 Look at the state of this 1.00

00:51:21.700 Manhunt after a woman

00:51:24.640 Dragged to floor of tube

00:51:26.260 In horrific attempted rape 0.70

00:51:27.800 Look at it

00:51:28.380 Look at that

00:51:31.000 What is that

00:51:32.240 What is that

00:51:33.840 Don't judge a book by its cover

00:51:41.020 they'll say no i will no i will you know that's human nature to do that

00:51:46.700 it's normal to do that to judge someone by what they look like you may or may or not be right

00:51:54.460 but you are allowed to do it it's human nature look what is that is that an actual missing link

00:52:04.460 what is that doing here

00:52:11.020 If you're only listening to the audio of this, there's an image from CCTV of a suspect in a manhunt for an attempted rape in a London tube station.

00:52:24.580 And it looks like a cliché of a Neanderthal.

00:52:34.260 This is a beast man. An actual beast man.

00:52:41.020 Thanks, Hope Not Hate. Thanks for Enemy Trust. Thanks, Blair. Thanks, Boris. Cheers for that. Well done. Brilliant. Good job. Yeah. Multicultural, multi-ethnic Britain. It's our strength. Look at the state of this as well. Comment probe. Cops reopen probe into trans uni workers and Widdicombe's death posts.

00:53:00.120 Look at this man

00:53:02.360 This is a man

00:53:04.900 Who's decided to grow his hair long

00:53:09.920 And wants people to think of him as a woman

00:53:14.000 Decided to pretend his name is Heather

00:53:23.980 This man

00:53:24.960 After Anne Widdicombe died

00:53:27.900 Look at what is that

00:53:30.100 They posted that it was good news she was dead

00:53:44.500 And quote

00:53:45.720 I hope she was handcuffed to the bed

00:53:47.980 And she screamed in agony 1.00

00:53:49.260 Okay

00:53:56.660 Meanwhile, Sam Melia

00:54:07.060 Went to prison, didn't he?

00:54:09.180 For just putting up a sticker that said

00:54:10.660 White Lives Matter or something like that

00:54:12.460 They'll put him in prison, even though the judge 0.92

00:54:14.760 Admitted he hadn't actually committed a crime

00:54:16.240 They'll put him in prison

00:54:17.040 This person's allowed to say that

00:54:20.440 Was that Lucy Colony?

00:54:23.180 Colony?

00:54:24.260 Remember her?

00:54:26.660 Well, she said she had something to say about migrant hotels during the riots and the backlash to the slaughter of the innocents at South Pole. They put her in prison. They banged her up, didn't they? They put her in prison.

00:54:41.260 This person is just glad Anne Whittakam is dead and hopes she suffered basically

00:54:45.260 But there was such a backlash

00:54:47.680 People reacting to it

00:54:50.140 That the cops have finally opened a probe

00:54:53.620 Into this person

00:54:54.880 What they did on social media

00:54:58.340 Alright

00:55:06.940 This is someone with some terrible issues

00:55:11.140 Isn't it

00:55:12.860 With some profound issues

00:55:16.120 Alright, shall we do on this day in history

00:55:21.380 I like doing that bit, you guys seem to like doing that bit

00:55:24.180 Down through the centuries, on this day in history, the 15th of July

00:55:27.280 What happened of now?

00:55:29.600 On this day in the year 1099 0.69

00:55:31.120 The city of Jerusalem is captured and plundered by Christian forces

00:55:34.200 During the First Crusade

00:55:35.340 We've talked all about the First Crusade before, Harry

00:55:41.140 I think I've got long-form content all about the First Crusade

00:55:43.940 On my History Things show, Bodade's Epochs

00:55:48.460 Behind the paywall on lotusseaters.com 0.87

00:55:50.840 Do consider signing up for this £5 a month of Protestant membership 0.93

00:55:53.500 Yeah, we talked all about it before

00:55:55.680 In fact, do you remember a week or two ago

00:55:57.240 There was a bit on this day in history

00:55:59.480 Which said that the Crusaders first reached Jerusalem

00:56:04.300 It was only a few days ago

00:56:06.240 It was a couple of weeks ago, wasn't it? 0.75

00:56:08.240 Well, they got inside and captured Jerusalem 0.99

00:56:10.360 Quickly 0.98

00:56:11.320 Against all odds 1.00

00:56:13.800 On paper Jerusalem should have held out 0.98

00:56:16.360 If not indefinitely 0.97

00:56:17.780 Should have, again on paper

00:56:19.740 Held out for months and months and months

00:56:21.520 Maybe even years

00:56:22.400 Sometimes ancient medieval sieges could last for years 0.56

00:56:26.360 Didn't someone like Nebuchadnezzar 0.51

00:56:29.700 Try and besiege Tyre 0.98

00:56:31.700 For like 20 years or something

00:56:33.620 And in the end didn't even get inside 1.00

00:56:34.900 You would have expected Jerusalem 0.97

00:56:38.180 to hold those crusaders, the Franks of the First Crusade, at bay easily. 0.94

00:56:46.020 But they didn't.

00:56:48.500 It's the remarkable thing about the First Crusade.

00:56:51.840 There's three or four, five different absolutely remarkable facts about the First Crusade.

00:56:56.520 And the cherry on top is that when they got to Jerusalem, they did get inside.

00:57:02.080 Incredible. 0.90

00:57:03.000 Okay, on this day in 1381, John Ball, the leader of the Peasants' Revolt,

00:57:06.600 Well, one of the leaders

00:57:08.980 What, Tyler was probably the leader

00:57:11.340 But one of the leaders, Jean Ball

00:57:12.520 Is hanged, drawn and quartered in the presence of Richard II of England

00:57:16.220 Harry

00:57:20.820 Do you think

00:57:24.320 I talk all about the reign and life of Richard II

00:57:27.620 And also the President's Revolt

00:57:29.300 Yeah, more than once

00:57:29.980 I think me and Carl did a whole thing about the President's Revolt early on

00:57:33.480 In the Epoch series

00:57:35.380 And then later when I was doing my whole

00:57:37.460 Continuing series all about the monarchy

00:57:39.860 When I get to Richard II

00:57:41.380 And I'll talk about it again

00:57:42.260 So yeah

00:57:44.720 John Ball and a lot of the rest of the leaders

00:57:47.880 Were eventually arrested and hung

00:57:49.080 Richard II said he was only young wasn't he

00:57:51.060 He was only like 14 years old or something

00:57:52.500 Michael really

00:57:53.360 Eventually when he realised he had

00:57:57.240 Got the better of them

00:57:58.780 He promised them the earth

00:58:01.680 He said I'll give you all the things you want

00:58:03.060 All the reforms you want you can get

00:58:04.480 And when they were largely beaten and disbanded

00:58:06.940 He said, oh no, take that back

00:58:08.820 You'll have no captain but me

00:58:12.420 And you remember when you were being treated harshly before

00:58:15.480 Well now you're going to be treated incomparably harsher

00:58:18.740 For the second

00:58:22.360 Still we came to a sticky end, didn't we?

00:58:25.600 If you want to learn about it

00:58:26.600 £5 a month, boat seaters

00:58:29.260 Me telling you all about it, long form

00:58:31.140 An hour or two, at least, got more

00:58:33.340 Okay

00:58:34.140 On this day in 1410

00:58:37.960 The Battle of Grunwald

00:58:39.840 Well I know it's the first battle of Tannenberg 0.62

00:58:41.960 It's one of the pivotal ones 0.88

00:58:44.120 Between

00:58:44.740 The Polish-Lithuanian alliance

00:58:48.280 Poland-Lithuania

00:58:49.420 That was like one thing in the Middle Ages

00:58:51.340 Against the Teutonic Knights 0.99

00:58:55.540 Yeah and they won

00:58:59.100 The Teutonic Knights lost that big battle

00:59:01.340 Took place in modern day Poland

00:59:02.940 Northern modern day Poland

00:59:04.540 Here's a pivotal one

00:59:07.640 I don't know about it in fantastic detail

00:59:09.700 The tactical realities of what was done on the battle

00:59:13.100 What wing did what

00:59:14.140 I don't know much about that

00:59:15.760 But the First Battle of Tannenberg

00:59:17.700 Just in and of itself is a pivotal one

00:59:19.640 If you know anything about European medieval history

00:59:22.400 You will have come across it at some point

00:59:24.020 Okay, on this day in 1799

00:59:27.780 The Rosetta Stone is found in the Egyptian village of Rosetta

00:59:30.920 By French Captain Pierre-Francois Bouchard

00:59:33.700 During Napoleon's Egyptian campaign

00:59:35.800 Talk all about 0.99

00:59:36.760 Talk all about

00:59:39.220 Napoleon's Egyptian campaign

00:59:41.120 Nine part series about Napoleon

00:59:43.000 So talk about that

00:59:43.640 But I've talked about the Rosetta Zone before

00:59:45.860 Fascinating, it's in the British Museum

00:59:48.020 I've stood in front of it myself

00:59:49.780 Dozens and dozens of times, maybe hundreds of times

00:59:52.740 It's right in the middle of the Egyptian gallery

00:59:54.360 Great thing 0.89

00:59:55.280 I think that one might be a replica

00:59:57.320 And the real, real one is down in a vault somewhere

00:59:59.620 Because it's absolutely priceless

01:00:01.520 Absolutely priceless

01:00:05.260 It was translated by

01:00:07.720 Champollion, wasn't it, first and foremost

01:00:09.720 What is it?

01:00:11.420 It's just an inscription from like 200 odd

01:00:13.600 BC

01:00:14.520 Or 196 BC during the reign of

01:00:17.740 Ptolemy V, a boy pharaoh 0.76

01:00:19.440 That's right at the end of the Egyptian

01:00:21.540 History really, isn't it? Ancient Egyptian

01:00:23.760 History, already

01:00:25.000 Macedonian people, Greek people, one of Alexander's

01:00:28.000 Generals, already

01:00:28.920 The Greeks had conquered Egypt 0.89

01:00:31.800 Ptolemy V was

01:00:33.340 Macedonian 0.78

01:00:35.540 The real pharaohs

01:00:37.180 The real, real pharaohs are long gone

01:00:38.620 Even by 200 BC

01:00:39.620 But we couldn't translate

01:00:43.600 No one knew how to read hieroglyphs

01:00:45.880 The ability to read ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs

01:00:48.540 Was lost deep in antiquity

01:00:50.520 No one could read them

01:00:52.200 No one

01:00:53.440 Up until the very early

01:00:56.180 19th century

01:00:57.380 Could read hieroglyphs

01:01:01.500 Or even begin to sort of unpick it

01:01:03.840 It was entirely lost

01:01:06.380 Until

01:01:06.940 People tried, clever people

01:01:08.980 Very, very, very clever people

01:01:10.300 The best linguists in the world

01:01:13.140 You know, we'd had extremely clever people

01:01:15.920 By the early 19th century

01:01:16.800 Like Newton or whatever

01:01:17.880 It's not like we were short of geniuses

01:01:20.340 It was just, it wasn't possible to decipher it

01:01:22.660 It wasn't possible, it seemed

01:01:24.040 Early 18th century

01:01:26.880 like cryptographer types couldn't do it in the end we stumbled across this well a frenchman

01:01:32.160 french captain stumbles across this and what it is it's a remarkable thing isn't it absolutely

01:01:37.920 remarkable it's a proclamation really quite a mundane boring proclamation about ptolemy the

01:01:43.600 fifth and the things he's achieved like king ptolemy the fifth is great isn't he and uh he's

01:01:49.760 going to do this and this this and that for your temple and in your local area he's he's done this

01:01:54.080 of that for you hasn't he this is nothing special the actual what he's actually saying is not that

01:02:00.080 interesting but it says the same thing in three languages hieroglyphs at the top there

01:02:07.520 the real old school ancient egyptian hieroglyphs then in a different type more modern quite modern

01:02:13.360 uh egyptian script uh demotic and then in ancient greek

01:02:20.640 and we've never lost the ability to read ancient greek or demotic i don't think but certainly

01:02:26.160 ancient greek everyone knew how to everyone lots of people knew how to read ancient greek

01:02:32.000 once you realize it's the same bit of text three times

01:02:35.280 Oh, we just can read this bit of hieroglyphs

01:02:41.180 And that was enough to at least begin

01:02:44.680 A long way down the road

01:02:47.240 To begin to unlock the ability to read hieroglyphs

01:02:52.180 The Rosetta Stone is priceless

01:02:58.140 And from that we can then understand

01:03:02.740 So much more of Egyptian history

01:03:04.660 Ancient Egyptian history

01:03:05.720 An incredible thing

01:03:08.200 Truly truly incredible

01:03:09.900 In the British Museum

01:03:11.580 Which is free to get into

01:03:12.660 Probably have to queue up though

01:03:13.700 And they check your bag

01:03:14.480 In case you're a terrorist

01:03:15.260 Which they never needed

01:03:16.640 Used to do

01:03:17.320 Diversity is our strength 0.98

01:03:19.420 Okay

01:03:19.940 On this day in 1955

01:03:21.340 18 Nobel laureates

01:03:23.380 Signed the Manau Declaration

01:03:25.140 Against nuclear weapons

01:03:26.780 Later co-signed by 34 more laureates

01:03:30.280 Yeah

01:03:31.280 Well it just says what that

01:03:33.000 It just says what it is

01:03:33.760 It wasn't until the 70s though really was it

01:03:36.220 It wasn't really until Richard Nixon in the 70s

01:03:38.740 And the salt talks

01:03:39.780 Where the Americans and the Soviets 0.89

01:03:41.800 Really started to even begin

01:03:44.720 To draw down their nuclear arsenals

01:03:46.840 Alright that's it 0.57

01:03:50.920 Shall we have a look at our Rumble Rants and Super Chats

01:03:52.820 Let me do this with my mic boom

01:03:56.620 So I can see

01:03:57.220 The left hand side of my screen here

01:03:59.300 All right, Rumble Rants is quite a few

01:04:02.620 Global Church History is in at number one

01:04:06.600 Reigning, defending, Harry can get rid of that off the screen

01:04:08.940 Global Church History says

01:04:14.000 On this day in 1149 AD

01:04:17.700 The Holy Sepulchre was rebuilt exactly 40 years after being ruined

01:04:29.300 Now, Mr History, global, global, can I call you global?

01:04:38.360 You've out history bro-ed me a few times here, a couple times

01:04:41.320 You said something, a great fact word

01:04:43.540 And I've been like, oh, that's interesting, I don't know anything about that

01:04:45.640 Well done, that's too obscure even for me

01:04:47.820 I'm going to have to return the favour a little bit here

01:04:50.120 I think you're mistaken

01:04:51.200 But wasn't it in 1049 AD

01:04:56.640 That a Fatimid Caliph, the mad Caliph 0.52

01:05:00.900 Destroyed the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem

01:05:04.240 All the way down to the bedrock

01:05:05.860 Completely burnt it down, ruined it

01:05:07.420 I think that was in 1009

01:05:12.000 1009 that happened

01:05:13.640 Not 1149

01:05:15.140 So it's like 140 years after

01:05:20.120 Not 40 years

01:05:21.660 Still, still, anyway

01:05:27.800 Interesting fact, in fact, nonetheless

01:05:29.400 I mean, that was one of the reasons that

01:05:31.500 One of the many reasons that

01:05:33.740 The Catholic Church in the West 1.00

01:05:36.320 Wanted Crusades 1.00

01:05:38.800 The First Crusade was long after that

01:05:43.760 Like a generation or two after that

01:05:46.000 1009, but nonetheless 1.00

01:05:50.120 The Muslims are destroying all our most precious things in the Holy Land 1.00

01:05:56.120 Including ripping down and then burning down what was left of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre 1.00

01:06:02.360 Arguably the most holy place in Christendom

01:06:07.220 You might think St Peter's Basilica in Rome is the holy place

01:06:10.720 Is it more holy than the supposed place of the execution of Christ

01:06:18.660 The Rock of Golgotha

01:06:20.260 I would argue the Church of the Holy Sepulchre

01:06:26.540 Is more important to Christendom

01:06:28.040 Than St Peter's in Rome

01:06:30.400 In the medieval mind

01:06:34.120 That was the case I would argue

01:06:35.940 Anyway

01:06:37.940 And the other

01:06:39.780 Fact you give us is that in

01:06:42.260 1502 Moctezuma II

01:06:44.360 The great grandson of Moctezuma I

01:06:47.100 Was elected emperor

01:06:48.260 I think Moctezuma II is the Moctezuma, right?

01:06:52.380 It's the one that Cortez confronts

01:06:55.260 Her name Cortez

01:06:56.860 I think, I'm pretty sure it was Moctezuma II is that one

01:07:01.760 I think that's right, yeah, I'm pretty sure

01:07:05.800 Okay, he was elected emperor on this day

01:07:08.680 In 1502

01:07:10.080 There you go

01:07:11.580 Alright, coronation day for Moctezuma II

01:07:14.560 Okay, Pigdog5150 says

01:07:17.180 In 75, 76

01:07:19.580 The dry spell was for 16 months

01:07:21.620 Less than 50% of rainfall

01:07:23.600 We're not near that point yet

01:07:25.280 I don't know how they coped

01:07:27.940 Then

01:07:28.480 With

01:07:30.200 I don't know how they coped then

01:07:33.180 With how bad it is now

01:07:34.580 Yeah they say the summer of 76 was like

01:07:37.680 The worst summer of all time

01:07:39.460 Well worse as in

01:07:40.180 Drought and super super hot

01:07:43.080 People struggling

01:07:43.860 yeah that's what all benchmarks are against isn't it for hot summers in britain yeah okay

01:07:53.620 40 and barber says morning all right i'm all right you're all right mate i hope you are

01:07:57.280 with the uk government algorithm coming to youtube i wonder if we should encourage all

01:08:03.100 good youtubers to copy to copy bodade experience featuring cole benjamin by coming to rumble it's

01:08:09.240 an idea yeah we we we are on rumble aren't we we might have to we might have to lean way more into

01:08:15.400 it who knows whether the whether youtube or alphabet will adopt what the uk government

01:08:22.880 wants them to with regard to the algo we'll see but yeah it's funny lotus eaters is the

01:08:31.500 bodade experience featuring carl benjamin that's funny to me bodade and co bodade and friends

01:08:44.700 okay what else have we got fallen firebird says

01:08:53.260 good day your radiance good day i remember you mentioning that you're writing a novel yeah i

01:09:02.140 was writing some uh the weekend just gone actually chipping away at it uh what genre is it and what

01:09:07.820 is it about i write too but i keep getting new ideas and starting over bad habit hard to break

01:09:12.620 to write a novel to write a piece of fiction that's novel length is difficult

01:09:18.780 To make it any good anyway

01:09:21.260 It's really difficult

01:09:22.220 It's much, much, much, much, much more difficult

01:09:24.760 Than writing an essay

01:09:26.380 Completely conjure the characters

01:09:30.620 And the dialogue and the story out of nothing

01:09:32.500 And then have enough confidence in that

01:09:34.400 To make it hundreds of thousands of words long

01:09:36.420 That's not easy

01:09:38.280 And the sort of the work ethic

01:09:41.120 To actually do it

01:09:42.780 One, it's an alternative history

01:09:46.600 Political thriller

01:09:47.720 Set in the very, very near future

01:09:52.360 And a political thriller

01:09:55.540 Set largely in the United States

01:09:58.400 What if

01:10:01.000 A military general

01:10:05.040 Like the head of the Marine Corps or something

01:10:07.040 Or the chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff

01:10:09.240 At the Pentagon

01:10:10.740 What if he decided to turn the US Army

01:10:14.500 Against the President

01:10:16.060 And then just install himself as a provisional government

01:10:20.060 Sort of that, really

01:10:24.300 Are there shades of how the Roman Republic came to an end? 0.99

01:10:34.300 Yeah, okay 0.99

01:10:35.300 Keep at it

01:10:36.160 All I can say is keep at it

01:10:37.820 And I need to take that advice myself

01:10:39.300 Sometimes I spend weeks or months not touching it

01:10:41.940 And then something will pop into my mind

01:10:44.160 And I'll do a bit

01:10:44.780 I was doing a bit at the weekend

01:10:45.840 But it's a slog

01:10:47.480 It's a slog

01:10:48.460 It is for me anyway

01:10:50.820 Yeah

01:10:53.460 Okay, Fallen Firebird again says

01:10:54.820 BBC Verifier actually does

01:10:56.400 Decently reasonable work on non-partisan topics

01:10:59.820 But they expect that

01:11:01.680 Accumulated credibility

01:11:02.880 They expend that accumulated credibility

01:11:08.120 To bend the truth when confronted

01:11:10.040 With a contentious right-left issue

01:11:12.160 Devious

01:11:12.980 Yeah, no, not to be trusted

01:11:15.280 Not to be trusted on anything

01:11:16.800 One of their very, very, very first piece of reporting

01:11:20.760 It may even have been their very first day

01:11:22.760 Their very first piece of reporting

01:11:23.840 They talked about Carl

01:11:25.780 They talked about Carl Benjamin

01:11:27.740 And lied

01:11:30.280 Yeah, lied

01:11:32.020 They said the Pied Piper of Totnes

01:11:36.160 They said he'd gone back to Totnes

01:11:40.020 And was like radicalising people

01:11:41.640 Simply untrue

01:11:43.160 Flat out, straight up, incorrect

01:11:47.420 Not spinning something slightly

01:11:50.540 Not phrasing something in such a way

01:11:53.160 As that it could possibly be construed as being true

01:11:56.100 No, it's wrong

01:11:56.860 Straight up and down, black and white, incorrect

01:11:59.820 BBC Verify, straight off the bat

01:12:02.680 First thing they did 0.55

01:12:03.600 Mariana Spring 1.00

01:12:08.160 A ridiculous hack 1.00

01:12:10.320 Silly woman 1.00

01:12:15.500 She's going to be the 1.00

01:12:17.320 Arbiter of truth 0.95

01:12:18.400 Nah don't think so

01:12:19.460 Alright the next viewer

01:12:33.200 And subversives 0.98

01:12:34.260 Sweeney did make a good comment

01:12:36.180 That the women backing women 0.98

01:12:39.360 And the feminism in Hollywood is fake 0.94

01:12:43.120 Also she wouldn't apologise for her good genes 1.00

01:12:46.420 And I won't read the very last thing you said

01:13:02.620 Well done 1.00

01:13:16.760 pig dog again says should wait it says it should try and get my mum to buy a gold tier sub for the

01:13:26.340 real bbc and lotus eaters instead of the fake bbc yeah oh you said yeah if you take the money you 0.87

01:13:31.920 would spend on the BBC £180 a year and get low seats instead. Gold tier membership is

01:13:39.580 only £50. Is that a month though? I don't even know. I don't even know. It's only £5

01:13:48.380 a month would only add up to, what, £60 a year, bronze tier membership. A third of

01:13:54.140 the price okay next one pig dog again says where are these polls please how do i participate thanks

01:14:04.940 well if you're saying that on rumble it's a rumble rant so you send that rumble you have

01:14:33.860 youtube you can there you go okay dragon lady chris how are you super fan says the race between

01:14:40.920 the french and the british to translate the rosetta stone uh was like the world cup of their

01:14:45.220 day yeah different people once they realized it was the same bit of text three times many different

01:14:49.520 people sort of racing to be basically champollion frenchman that is credited with sort of getting

01:14:56.380 their first although others were very close and it almost yeah quite an interesting point

01:15:01.140 good point dragon lady chris okay uh fool and firebird says extraordinary that the ability

01:15:09.360 To unlock the entire civilization's history 0.91

01:15:11.500 Was hidden behind one rock

01:15:12.820 Makes your imagination wonder

01:15:14.980 Is there another such stone

01:15:16.740 For the Indus Valley hidden somewhere

01:15:18.620 Yeah, maybe, good, good question, yeah, who knows

01:15:20.480 There's a few different

01:15:22.640 There's a number of different things

01:15:24.280 That are still completely undecipherable

01:15:26.500 To us from the ancient world

01:15:28.180 And if we had

01:15:30.000 An equivalent of the Rosetta Stone

01:15:32.180 That would be amazing, yeah

01:15:33.760 Okay, Global Church History said

01:15:35.820 The Crusaders damaged it again

01:15:37.900 During the assault in Jerusalem

01:15:39.620 Though they also celebrated a mass there

01:15:41.980 It took a while to get everything repaired

01:15:44.020 Though the casualties are often overstated

01:15:46.480 Okay, that's interesting

01:15:48.880 Let's do the Church for the Holy Sepulchre again

01:15:51.620 Okay

01:15:52.720 Face Distance says

01:15:55.980 250 years was such a long time ago

01:15:58.660 Would you consider supporting reunification?

01:16:02.500 The UK could do lovely

01:16:04.100 a state uh 51 through to 54 i guess what make england wales scotland and northern ireland all

01:16:13.140 there are a state of the united states hashtag brit and exit uh no no we'll annex you if anything

01:16:27.380 now united states can be further counties of england if anything

01:16:30.420 I'm joking, I'm joking

01:16:34.240 It's good for cousins to banter with each other, isn't it?

01:16:39.460 Okay, Base Distant again says

01:16:40.840 Plus, I can't imagine a less awkward day for you guys to finally wrap up the entire king thing

01:16:46.080 No, we'll bring the king back to you

01:16:49.500 You can wrap up your silly experiment of being a republic

01:16:52.480 It's obviously not working at this point, is it? 0.95

01:16:56.280 Your pretend presidents

01:16:57.880 Again, I'm joking

01:17:01.400 I'm joking, this is cousins bantering with each other

01:17:03.760 Okay, and the last one here

01:17:06.580 Base distant again says

01:17:07.880 I mean, someone quoting saying

01:17:10.740 Is President Vance going to be our guy?

01:17:14.020 Question mark

01:17:14.540 I suppose the jury's still out

01:17:16.420 But if Vance were our president

01:17:18.140 Then Parliament is definitely out

01:17:20.200 Just think it over

01:17:21.300 I wouldn't want to impose this current king

01:17:27.220 we've got on anybody be perfectly honest okay harry can you bring up the uh youtube ones

01:17:35.460 youtube super chats for me you have to do that if you can make it so

01:17:38.660 they now all right what have we got this morning there's only about a dozen or so this morning

01:17:47.020 let's start reading them amazing disgrace 9-1-1 i like i like amazing disgrace i think that's a

01:17:53.800 great using them. They say, is there a contingency if rational debate fails? We're way past

01:18:02.860 that point, but I'm just wondering if there's a plan. Classically, throughout history, isn't

01:18:09.360 it, when debate and words and reason fail, people resort to violence. Because what else

01:18:20.220 is there?

01:18:23.800 That's a maxim of history

01:18:26.380 There isn't a plan

01:18:30.000 Beyond that

01:18:32.060 It's rational debate

01:18:34.660 It's politics

01:18:35.520 Or war

01:18:36.940 Politics is

01:18:39.360 Or war is a continuation of politics

01:18:42.360 By other means, isn't it?

01:18:44.320 Who's that? Von Klauswitz?

01:18:46.140 Is that Klauswitz?

01:18:48.000 Okay, Tiger says

01:18:49.560 Unfortunately my job won't allow me to be free in the morning

01:18:52.760 But I'd love to get involved with Lotus Eaters

01:18:55.280 In any way I can and help if possible 0.54

01:19:51.040 State of Politics

01:19:51.720 The other channel I do with MrHReviews

01:20:15.120 Remember Benazir Bhutto 0.63

01:20:17.700 Anyone remember Benazir Bhutto

01:20:21.020 I think she was Prime Minister for a while

01:20:23.860 Wasn't she? I think she was

01:20:25.960 Then she was out of power 1.00

01:20:28.440 Then she tried to get back into power 0.97

01:20:30.800 And they murdered her, assassinated her 0.99

01:20:32.720 Usually Islam doesn't take all that kindly to 1.00

01:20:41.680 Women being in power

01:20:44.540 James Lee Pevenhole says

01:20:49.280 Political assassins

01:20:51.440 Counting from Robert Packington

01:20:54.580 Queen Bess formed her intelligence bureau

01:20:57.520 Headed by Sir Francis Walsingham

01:20:59.660 Operatives included Chris Marlow

01:21:02.920 And Sir Henry Lee

01:21:04.220 A relative, smiley face

01:21:06.000 Yeah, I've just finished Henry VIII on Epochs

01:21:09.500 I'm going to do something else for a while

01:21:12.040 But then I'll go back, I'll do James VI

01:21:13.740 And then Ruddy Mary and then Elizabeth

01:21:16.280 At that point, that'll be weeks

01:21:19.600 That'll probably be much later in the year by the time we get to that

01:21:21.660 So Francis Walsingham, fascinating figure

01:21:25.460 Walsingham

01:21:26.380 Absolutely fascinating figure

01:21:28.900 Might even do a whole episode

01:21:30.280 Just focusing on him and his life and his career

01:21:33.020 Possibly

01:21:34.140 Like Henry VIII, the age of Elizabeth I

01:21:38.340 Is filled with other important, interesting figures

01:21:42.100 All the people that orbited Elizabeth

01:21:43.640 Like many of the people that orbited Henry VIII

01:21:46.160 they're all interesting fascinating in their own right and could do an epox on them in their own

01:21:52.100 right okay great next one ben hello doesn't say anything and just gives a little bit of money

01:21:59.660 there so thanks appreciate that oh the next one is from ben hello who does say something they say

01:22:05.480 i doubt that i doubt they'll get rid of state pension completely but the amount will be a small

01:22:12.000 nominal payment and companies will be pressured into making pensioners discounts on utilities and

01:22:17.920 supermarkets etc maybe maybe right you're a tiny bit more optimistic than me maybe you're right

01:22:25.060 you'll go down to like an absolute kittens like you said what did you say a nominal payment yeah

01:22:30.040 you've still got a state pension yeah it's a 3p a week but you've still got one thanks for paying

01:22:38.040 into it your whole life yeah you might be right i will be right okay and the last two dr molotov
