00:00:52.640 I'm all good.

00:00:56.380 Disembodied voice of the all-powerful, all-knowing producer.

00:01:01.920 A little bit more faff, though.

00:01:03.460 A tiny bit of housekeeping.

00:01:05.680 I said before, didn't I?

00:01:06.940 We did a poll on it before, that when I go on holiday, probably in September,

00:01:11.400 when I have to go on holiday, I'm a PAYE employee, I have to go on holiday at some point,

00:01:15.560 probably we're going to get someone else to do the show.

00:01:19.400 You guys wanted Dan most.

00:01:22.640 So, OK, that will happen, or it will almost certainly happen.

00:01:25.840 But I'm actually not going to be in on Friday, this Friday, in two days' time,

00:01:29.360 because I'm going up to Makerfield on the Thursday night,

00:01:32.360 Thursday night and the wee hours of Friday morning,

00:01:35.000 when the count happens at the Makerfield by-election and the result.

00:01:39.420 I'm actually going to be up there in Wigan.

00:01:43.140 So I just physically won't be in Wiltshire in the South West

00:01:47.000 to do the Bo Show on Friday morning.

00:01:48.780 So we're going to trial Dan.

00:01:50.440 we're going to let Dan Tubb do it on Friday morning so don't be surprised if and when you

00:01:57.600 tune in like the glorious band The Chosen Few that you are and it's not me on Friday morning it's Dan

00:02:03.740 give him a whirl see how he likes it see how you like him etc etc you know like a test run

00:02:11.320 for when I do go on holiday so okay that's just a little bit of housekeeping

00:02:14.960 in all right with that said should we stop fannying about and just get straight into it

00:02:22.960 what have we got today what's that cabal of evil fleet street editors trying to beam directly into

00:02:26.760 your brain box today what are they lying to you about by omission if by nothing else okay we've

00:02:30.560 got scary clash in the channel and oh frigate which is the same story they're saying this is

00:02:36.780 two different things it's the same thing so this is all over the news today it's most the vast

00:02:40.960 majority of the front pages is an incident that took place just off the south 20 miles or so

00:02:47.660 off the south coast of the isle of wight that's on the south coast of england between france and

00:02:52.920 england it's the channel i mean well it is the channel but it's not the thinnest part of the

00:02:58.240 channel anyway so this story is uh the main thing on fleet street so we'll talk all about it um but

00:03:05.760 probably just move on from it relatively quickly won't spend half the show on it like we did

00:03:10.540 yesterday on the uh those ukrainian lads uh straight off the bat just to give you my take

00:03:16.700 i think it's it's not really that much of a big deal i mean it's a little bit of a big deal but

00:03:21.340 not not really in the scheme of things when you get the details you can make your own mind up

00:03:25.800 okay so on the eye paper which has usually got sort of the best sort of review of thing the

00:03:32.320 general review of things on its front page says retired uk couple reveal quote scary quote clash

00:03:39.140 in channel with russian warship admiral grovovich that's the russian warship

00:03:45.620 fired warning shots in air over alan and jane kelvey as they sailed 40-foot yacht let me just

00:03:52.740 read the blurb and then then we'll go into it we heard four or five gunshots mrs kelvey 68 tells

00:03:59.060 the eye paper after their alarming encounter with with frigate 20 nautical miles from the isle of

00:04:05.220 white it was a bit scary we said to each other what the hell just happened couple were sailing

00:04:13.440 a small motorless yacht bright future that's the name of their yacht bright future to normandy and

00:04:19.400 were 500 yards away from warship warning shots followed horn blasts small arms fire pre-emptive

00:04:26.660 says russian officials clash not linked to commando raid okay so we'll just go through all the details

00:04:34.040 of it and and move on to other things this morning right so they're in a 40-foot yacht there's a

00:04:38.840 picture of it right he hasn't he hasn't even got a motor in it it's purely a sailing ship small

00:04:43.980 not a ship sorry it's not a ship is it let's get it right it's a yacht 40 foot not tiny

00:04:50.400 as far as yachts go you get as much smaller you get smaller yachts than that but compared to the

00:04:55.640 warship the admiral grigovich we've got a picture of it somewhere let me show you the picture of

00:04:59.040 it it's a frigate it's not like the most giant warship of all time but look there we go look

00:05:03.240 there's a picture of it right so it's not small it's not like you can miss it although some of

00:05:11.880 the reports saying there was fog okay so this russian frigate versus this 40-foot yacht

00:05:20.200 just off the south coast of the isle of wight so uh some of the reports are slightly different

00:05:28.440 this morning some say as it says there they were about 500 yards away now it might sound a lot but

00:05:36.040 500 yards when you're at sea isn't actually all that much still not dead close but it's not it's

00:05:42.700 actually not that much another report later down we'll probably see it said they got to within 150

00:05:49.060 yards now that is close that if that's true of course i wasn't there i don't know i didn't see

00:05:54.440 with mental eyeballs if they did get within 150 yards that is really really close because the

00:06:00.380 russians are saying this wasn't just blind like aggression or belligerence we were trying to stop

00:06:07.680 them from colliding with us it was foggy we could see them and it looked like they were going to

00:06:12.940 collide with us so we we like tooted on the horn the bullhorn it says there didn't it there that

00:06:18.580 the the Grogovovich blasts its horn like trying to tell them if it's foggy that we're here

00:06:25.820 and then again according to the Russians uh that sort of didn't work I wasn't enough so they fired

00:06:33.080 some warning shots like into the air they weren't aimed at the yacht in any way they weren't like

00:06:37.780 just off the bow of the or anything they were just they were warning shots okay so if they were only

00:06:46.880 150 yards away and it was foggy and the Russians genuinely thought they were on some sort of 0.59

00:06:51.180 collision course it's absolutely a nothing burger isn't it complete nothing burger

00:06:56.320 but the couple themselves was it Mr and Mrs Kelvey said that they certainly weren't on any sort of

00:07:06.420 collision course they've already done an interview with TV seen it this morning they were saying

00:07:11.000 it's weird because we were never ever going to hit them we were never on any sort of

00:07:16.760 course there you go that's basically it that's basically all the details more

00:07:23.780 or less all the salient details about it other than say that some people in

00:07:29.540 them in the media I think making more out of it then then it really is like

00:07:36.140 it's aggression from the Russians I mean is a bit probably is a little bit

00:07:39.920 over the top isn't it fire warning shots but and then some are suggesting that it's sort of in

00:07:48.940 retaliation for tit for tat where the Royal Marines boarded and seized a Russian tanker or

00:07:56.920 a Cameroonian flag tanker which was actually a Russian one the other day just a few days ago

00:08:02.680 that this is some sort of tip for tap

00:08:05.680 but the iPaper and lots of other reporting

00:08:09.680 say that the incidents aren't linked

00:08:12.040 I mean

00:08:14.140 there's basically

00:08:16.960 there's not a great deal more to it than that

00:08:18.660 but it is on the front of nearly all the papers

00:08:21.460 alright, shall we just move on

00:08:23.060 I think it's not a massive deal

00:08:26.020 things like this

00:08:27.020 maybe not firing warning shots

00:08:28.440 but things like this

00:08:31.120 aren't completely unheard of

00:08:32.600 And basically no one was

00:08:34.420 Well, certainly no one was hurt

00:08:36.020 Or anything like that

00:08:36.680 Alright, The Guardian

00:08:39.000 The Guardian 0.90

00:08:43.780 The Guardian stinks, doesn't it? 0.99

00:09:03.640 Actually, there is something in The Guardian today.

00:09:36.060 look the guardian done a done a hit piece a hit well it's not really a hit piece to be honest

00:09:40.680 it's almost like um it's almost like fan fiction it's almost like a fluff piece

00:09:47.940 this like weird burnout dude oliver haynes looks like he's just rolled out of bed there doesn't he

00:09:58.100 look like he's hung over or he's high or something okay this weirdo subversive says

00:10:07.500 i spent an evening with fans of lotus eaters the hit podcast shaping britain's new far-right culture

00:10:14.440 so yeah weirdo little freak decided to um buy a ticket thanks for the 50 quid by the way ollie

00:10:22.760 buy a ticket to uh the live event we did the other month

00:10:26.860 and um yeah and then writes an article sort of complaining that there were people there that

00:10:35.600 talked about re-migration and um were fans of restore there's nothing really more to it than

00:10:43.260 that sort of complaining that lotus eaters has got quite a decent reach basically complaining

00:10:51.580 that we get like we've got nearly six very nearly six hundred thousand subscribers get a million

00:10:56.460 weekly views on clips alone he knows more about our numbers than i do quite literally um there's

00:11:04.920 another i read it yesterday there's not another couple of data points he said i wasn't even aware

00:11:11.000 of it's like oh really like it was it was it the audio version is 50th on the news charts

00:11:18.980 Apple Podcasts currently ranks the audio version at 50th

00:11:24.040 That's the main podcast it would be

00:11:26.480 Ahead of dozens of podcasts set up by establishment publications

00:11:31.240 Yeah, well

00:11:32.680 Our message does resonate among some, doesn't it?

00:11:37.100 That they want their country back

00:11:38.240 That they've had enough with being invaded

00:11:39.800 And then gaslit about that it's not even happening

00:11:41.880 There's a large number of patriots and nativists out there

00:11:46.420 That are concerned about being

00:11:48.520 Demographically replaced in their own 0.66

00:11:50.500 Ancestral homeland, their one and only ancestral homeland 0.95

00:11:52.700 Becoming a hated, marginalised 1.00

00:11:54.800 Minority, ultimately 1.00

00:11:56.660 Annihilated in their one and only ancestral

00:11:58.800 Homeland, Oliver, some people are concerned about that

00:12:00.920 You're not, obviously though

00:12:02.000 You're just maligning us as like

00:12:04.280 Far right and stuff, so there you go

00:12:06.500 Thought I'd bring it to you 0.99

00:12:08.440 Pathetic really 0.98

00:12:12.560 Alright, what else we got in the garden 0.98

00:12:14.600 Oh yeah, so it's the G7

00:12:15.980 starmer and trump there was a funny little clip quite funny really where

00:12:21.280 they're standing around a bunch of leaders are standing around just before their their working

00:12:27.280 lunch i believe it was just before their working lunch and trump shakes hands with a bunch of them

00:12:31.640 three or four of them in a row and starmer's the next person like the next obvious person you would

00:12:37.040 shake hands with he's standing right there so he couldn't be more standing next to stroke in front

00:12:42.300 of Trump and he shakes three or four people's hands in a row the next one would be Starmer

00:12:45.740 and Trump just ignores him turns his back on him starts walking away Starmer's left there quite

00:12:50.320 literally like that was a full snub in that moment but you know going on for the rest of the G7

00:13:00.220 he did Trump did sort of recognize that he was there and shook his hand at another point and

00:13:07.360 stuff um but well they hate each other really basically don't they politically and everyone

00:13:14.800 knows including donald trump he'll be he'll have advisors and he's been being briefed

00:13:20.120 the starmer almost certainly hasn't got long left as prime minister a lame duck prime minister if

00:13:25.220 you like um so why should trump pay him any attention he hates him and he probably won't

00:13:30.460 be there at that sort of table for very much longer so why not show your disdain for him

00:13:36.820 why not show your contempt and slight regard for the man it's the sort of thing that donald would

00:13:43.300 wouldn't it anyway again not really a big deal in the scheme of things is it minister objects

00:13:50.820 to thames water deal anyone who's not in britain or in the south of britain anyway thames water

00:13:55.940 is like the biggest water company and they're terribly mismanaged they're like billions of

00:14:00.400 pounds in debt and they're just uh it's just been terribly mismanaged and at some point the

00:14:05.940 government may have to nationalize it or part nationalize it or something who knows but yeah

00:14:11.880 anyone in the south of england will know that your water bills from thames water just keep going up

00:14:17.840 and up and up and the the uh service isn't all that good and they're always moaning about uh

00:14:26.380 hosepipe bans and that the reservoirs aren't in good enough nick and how how has thames water

00:14:32.680 mismanage things so badly anyway all right that's an ongoing thing isn't it ongoing 0.61

00:14:38.520 no peace if israel stays in lebanon says iran oh dear who could have seen that coming

00:14:53.720 of course trump says he's got his uh agreement in principle and that jd vance will go over and sign

00:14:59.640 it but it's actually already that element of it is already a done deal but it's actually

00:15:04.040 only to give him 60 days to reach an actual full deal and iran are already saying that for that

00:15:11.880 full and final main deal to end all deals they're going to need israel to pull out of lebanon

00:15:19.960 Right, entirely. 0.59

00:15:25.920 Right, is Israel going to do that? 0.52

00:15:27.480 Will Israel do that?

00:15:28.260 Will Bibi do that?

00:15:29.100 If Trump asks him nicely enough, will he? 0.70

00:15:33.720 Might do.

00:15:35.440 Sometimes,

00:15:37.200 Neti does do what Trump and the State Department want, doesn't he?

00:15:40.060 Sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn't.

00:15:42.760 He will make the calculation, won't he?

00:15:45.140 What's in his best interest politically,

00:15:47.680 like at home in Israel and stuff.

00:15:49.960 I suspect he won't

00:15:54.080 But he might do

00:15:54.900 I suspect he won't 0.98

00:15:57.000 Because I suspect Israel at this point in history 0.99

00:15:59.740 I suspect

00:16:01.220 I might be wrong

00:16:02.140 But I suspect 0.92

00:16:02.640 In Bibi's mind 0.72

00:16:04.040 This is his chance to really deal 1.00

00:16:06.640 A crushing blow to Hezbollah 1.00

00:16:09.100 This is his time 1.00

00:16:10.400 Because Bibi's no spring chicken either 0.96

00:16:12.540 If and when he leaves office 0.62

00:16:14.420 He probably won't be Prime Minister again

00:16:16.420 So this is his shot

00:16:18.960 this is his one time this is like his legacy stuff to sort of really deal some sort of death

00:16:24.020 blow to hezbollah which actually isn't really all that possible you know you've seen clips of people

00:16:30.900 in lebanon muslims saying hezbollah is more like a state of mind for every hezbollah or warrior

00:16:40.480 they kill it'll just generate 10 more or something so but trump it's interesting trump at the g7

00:16:48.900 was asked about this thing these things and gave a few statements interestingly he said

00:16:54.060 he was quite clear quite explicit he like just flat out said i'm not happy with bibi

00:17:01.740 over the last couple of days or handful of days um he keeps striking into lebanon and it's not

00:17:13.060 helping us it's not helping me the donald it's not helping the state department it's not helping

00:17:18.420 the region he said something like every time you're looking for someone like a hezbollah

00:17:23.860 person you don't have to blow up a whole building like he's accusing israel of um

00:17:31.540 you know disproportionate responses every time hezbollah fire a rocket or a drone into the air

00:17:37.540 towards northern israel that gets shut out of the sky you don't have to blow up a whole building 0.99

00:17:41.780 that's full of people that's a reasonable thing for the donald to say isn't it i think 0.72

00:17:48.420 Yeah, he was just straight up out

00:17:55.080 Criticising Netanyahu

00:17:56.940 So, okay

00:17:58.320 No peace deal if Israel stays in Lebanon 0.80

00:18:01.760 Says Iran 0.88

00:18:02.780 So, in other words 0.99

00:18:05.400 We're still quite a long way

00:18:08.780 From that final, final peace deal 1.00

00:18:10.360 Iran's got a whole bunch of 0.82

00:18:12.820 Red lines in the sand 0.95

00:18:14.260 On some of the United States

00:18:16.340 will they ever be able to reconcile all those things we shall see we shall see all right the

00:18:25.000 times the venerable times okay a little bit of football i'll keep it super brief because i know

00:18:30.400 the glorious band that chose a few don't care about sports ball but tonight is the first england

00:18:34.740 game playing croatia england have got what is it croatia panama and ghana in our group

00:18:43.080 The first game is against Croatia

00:18:46.680 We're expected to win all those games

00:18:48.640 But brace yourself

00:18:51.460 Tomorrow, the front pages

00:18:53.120 Whatever happens, whatever the result is

00:18:54.720 Even if it's nil-nil

00:18:55.580 All the papers will be going with something about football

00:19:00.080 I would have thought

00:19:00.820 Alright, that's it

00:19:03.580 That's all I'll say, just brace yourself

00:19:04.820 Don't worry, as I say

00:19:08.040 On those days, I'll mention it

00:19:10.380 Talk about it as briefly

00:19:11.420 basically as briefly as possible and move on to other stuff okay it's royal ascot horse racing

00:19:15.520 that's all this picture is there's the king king charles the third and his sausage fingers

00:19:21.060 and his gross wife camilla parker bowls or is it camilla windsor now would it be

00:19:28.180 um the queen consul um and yeah sausage fingers and his horse came last in its race 0.98

00:19:35.700 That's it, that's all that is

00:19:38.560 Miliband ghosts PM by refusing to take his calls

00:19:43.800 It's a little story that was interesting

00:19:46.320 That over the last few weeks it was saying

00:19:49.120 Whenever Keir Starmer tries to call up Ed Miliband

00:19:52.440 Or get in touch with him one way or another

00:19:53.960 Ed's sort of ghosting him, Redhead is sort of ghosting him

00:19:57.380 Or at least to some extent

00:19:59.320 Just refusing to take the calls and things

00:20:01.300 It's mad isn't it, it's mad

00:20:03.660 It tells you what's going on in Keir Starmer's government

00:20:07.180 In his cabinet

00:20:07.820 Just to let you know

00:20:08.880 In a normal government

00:20:11.040 That wouldn't fly

00:20:13.120 That just wouldn't fly

00:20:14.260 It's kind of crazy

00:20:16.500 A report like that to me is crazy

00:20:19.100 If you're the Prime Minister

00:20:20.880 And you try and call up one of your Secretaries of State

00:20:22.980 And they're ghosting you

00:20:24.240 That's a massive problem

00:20:27.720 You'd be like

00:20:28.640 I demand you come to number 10 and explain yourself

00:20:31.340 You ghost me one time

00:20:32.440 you ghost me one time i'm going to physically want to see you in face to face in person and

00:20:37.540 you explain what happened there because you're not ghosting me nobody ghosts me i'm the head

00:20:43.000 of government i'm the head of your party and the prime minister you're not ghosting me right that's

00:20:49.220 how it should be that's how it should be you keep ghosting me well you're out of you're out of

00:20:52.420 cabinet 100 you ghost me two three times you're gone i'll replace you i'm not having that that's 1.00

00:20:58.600 how it should be that's normal right that would be the normal dynamic but no apparently redhead

00:21:04.640 has been ghosting him for a while and sakir hasn't done anything about it redhead is still in the

00:21:12.640 cabinet that shows you how weak he is doesn't it as a leader how weak his political position is

00:21:18.180 it's the same with streeting right when streeting was um um briefing against uh stana a lot and

00:21:27.380 Starmer didn't fire him from cabinet.

00:21:31.740 Weird, it's so weak. 0.92

00:21:33.820 Keith Starmer's so unbelievably weak.

00:21:37.640 Okay.

00:21:39.560 Russian warship fires on yacht in the channel.

00:21:41.640 Right, we got it.

00:21:43.640 The Daily Toregraph.

00:21:45.720 Come on, England. 0.99

00:21:47.640 We should beat Croatia.

00:21:49.580 All right, let's toss his fingers again.

00:21:51.580 Russian ship fires shots in channel.

00:21:53.100 Right.

00:21:55.080 What else we got?

00:21:55.980 Taxpayers subsidise French bills under clean energy deal

00:22:00.020 Not quite as bad as it sounds

00:22:01.400 Bit annoying, a bit bad

00:22:02.760 But not quite as bad as that headline makes it sound

00:22:04.760 So we've got wind farms, haven't we?

00:22:06.360 We've got some wind farms

00:22:07.380 And you can't really store the energy from wind farms

00:22:10.480 When the wind's blowing and the turbines are turning

00:22:12.540 You're making electricity

00:22:13.440 Good, well and good

00:22:15.620 When the wind isn't blowing and they're not turning

00:22:19.860 You haven't got electricity

00:22:20.920 Bad

00:22:21.560 But what about if the wind's blowing

00:22:24.540 They're creating loads of electricity

00:22:25.720 but it's more it's a surplus than what we need at that moment in time what then it's just wasted

00:22:31.380 is it well no the idea was that we could channel some across to france and they can use it that's

00:22:37.260 all it is but you could characterize that couldn't you as because the wind farms are subsidized

00:22:42.880 subsidized by the taxpayer uk taxpayer you could characterize that as taxpayers subsidized french

00:22:49.540 bills energy bills i mean yeah i guess but it's not exactly that is it it's not like we just

00:22:55.880 well anyway you get it that's what that is no no again no massive deal in the scheme of things

00:23:00.560 i wouldn't have many or any wind farms at all to be perfectly honest okay the whole thing is a bit

00:23:05.880 silly um streeting so wesley streeting says oh sorry not sir the right honorable wesley streeting

00:23:16.980 MP says Keir should quit after by-election sort of regardless of what happens he should quit

00:23:21.560 there's another thing in the news today West Street is saying that um he will take part in

00:23:28.660 a leadership election if Andy Burnham wins and even if Andy Burnham doesn't win

00:23:32.680 Streeting is going to launch a leadership bid of his own regardless and he has got the numbers

00:23:41.060 the ATMP is needed he has got that and he's going to do that anyway so

00:23:44.380 okay and so he's saying kia should quit we should just step you know but he would say that wouldn't

00:23:52.840 he it's easy and better for streeting his chances are slightly better if it's more or less a two

00:23:58.760 horse race between him and andy bumham the first king of his name with his guy liner

00:24:04.000 his double chins and his guy liner

00:24:09.900 all right what else have we got here the sun yeah they go with that thing see they

00:24:18.860 nearly all go with the warship thing vlad fires on brit oaps in channel

00:24:23.040 well just say it wouldn't be the orders wouldn't have come from

00:24:29.540 Putin would they they would have been it would have been the captain of that frigate okay

00:24:54.820 Hey guys, everyone talk about that sort of nothing burger

00:25:00.640 Effectively a nothing burger that happened in the channel

00:25:03.940 Yeah

00:25:04.740 Yeah, the people above us

00:25:07.680 In the intelligence services

00:25:10.360 They want to stoke up problems with Russia

00:25:13.660 So there's a bit of a nothing burger in the channel yesterday 0.86

00:25:16.640 But everyone put it on your front pages, yeah

00:25:18.680 Yeah, cool

00:25:20.400 And don't talk about

00:25:23.260 what Jeffrey Epstein really was again like every day yeah don't mention um Nathaniel Rothschild

00:25:32.140 the fifth baron Rothschild and his connections to Epstein yeah don't mention that like every day

00:25:36.080 yeah good got it okay the Daily Mail the mail group Putin opens fire in the channel got it

00:25:46.100 Something about Brooklyn Beckham

00:25:53.400 Don't care

00:25:54.040 Okay

00:25:55.560 David Dimbleby, is he still alive?

00:26:00.500 I broke the news of Brexit to Britain 10 years on

00:26:03.740 We still haven't seen a single benefit really

00:26:05.940 Well there have been benefits

00:26:09.500 But there haven't been many because every single government since then

00:26:12.780 were dragged kicking and screaming into the thing and never really delivered it

00:26:17.860 but don't worry about that David don't worry about that David you've got to keep getting

00:26:24.440 your paycheck so you so you shoo the lion you're told to shoo

00:26:27.820 pinko all right there's that frigate again Russian warship fire shots at UK you're in

00:26:37.300 channel right the star oh frigate yeah okay the financial times but there's a there's that weirdo 0.90

00:26:46.400 little goblin zelensky sitting at the top of the ukrainian government not giving them a chance to 0.75

00:26:50.280 vote him out like a tyrant um sitting there with donald hoping to get more billions that will 0.84

00:27:00.220 disappear and get embezzled okay spacex races past amazon as fifth most valuable group

00:27:06.320 valuation hits 2.8 trillion after 14 surge 60 billion dollars deal for ai coded app cursor

00:27:19.540 all right so when uh spacex um first floated a little bit of tea in the old soup strainer there

00:27:28.140 sorry about that um when it first floated um i said it was a steel it was like a um classic

00:27:36.540 uh sort of immediate blue chip sort of stock should buy it and diamond hands it i stand by

00:27:42.800 that a lot of people are saying it's a it's a lot of people in the chat at the time and i did a tweet

00:27:47.680 on it the other day and a lot of people saying no it is overpriced is overvalued maybe it may be

00:27:53.360 i'm not saying it isn't um just my opinion is that um yeah people saying oh what about the

00:28:02.320 the amount of profit it's making at the moment something like facebook has never really made

00:28:06.760 profit has it and spacex is god where to even begin with these takes these people

00:28:12.060 like the profit of spacex won't go up like the potential of spacex isn't gigantic

00:28:20.720 a massive moat there's not many other companies that are even even possible to do the things

00:28:26.980 spacex are doing it's not even possible from whole new technologies and remember elon's ai

00:28:33.060 empire is actually comes under the umbrella of spacex many people have characterized it that

00:28:39.660 spacex has a stock that you can buy a bit of a bit of you're actually really buying elon's ai

00:28:48.180 company and it's almost like SpaceX really is an AI company that's got a side hustle in rockets

00:28:56.960 right so it's not just about rockets some people say okay but sending rockets up to space is just

00:29:02.640 burning cash why would you want to invest in that it's never going to turn a profit 0.93

00:29:06.980 short-sighted small-minded buffoon

00:29:13.320 that company spacex has got the potential to be the world's biggest company eat like 0.87

00:29:21.040 fairly easily i would have thought fairly easy it's sort of the future in a number of different

00:29:27.540 ways people saying oh when the democrats get in they might just wreck it all i mean that's

00:29:32.480 possible that's actually a better argument that's a better argument rather than the fundamentals of

00:29:39.520 SpaceX are unsound it only turns as 19 billion dollar profit yeah at the moment

00:29:46.900 have you not got the imagination to think that in 10 15 20 years 50 years who

00:29:55.020 knows what could mine out an asteroid and get and like an insane amount of

00:30:00.940 gold or diamond or whatever rare earth metals what at the moment are called

00:30:07.300 rare earth metal i mean the protect is about potential isn't it the potential of spacex is

00:30:13.760 gigantic again no not many competitors for even doing what they're doing whole new whole new

00:30:22.800 technologies all right there you go i think he's still still i think he was trading at what 190

00:30:32.020 $395, $200-odd at the moment, something like that.

00:30:37.360 It'll probably go down again.

00:30:38.560 There'll be a dip again.

00:30:39.320 It'll go up and down.

00:30:40.320 It'll go up and down.

00:30:41.800 But I would have thought, this is my prediction,

00:30:44.340 in five years' time, 10 years' time,

00:30:47.400 let's say five years from now,

00:30:51.700 my prediction that buying in $150, $200

00:30:55.480 would have been a good investment.

00:31:00.280 There you go.

00:31:01.040 And I may be wrong

00:31:03.040 I did spend about 18 years in asset management

00:31:08.080 And commodities trading

00:31:09.560 And investment banking

00:31:12.020 Fund management

00:31:15.980 I was never a fund manager

00:31:17.340 Don't get me wrong

00:31:17.860 I was never a fund manager

00:31:18.520 But I worked in and around the fund management sphere

00:31:21.920 I was never a CFA

00:31:27.780 I was never an actual chartered financial analyst

00:31:30.040 nonetheless spent a long time in and around that sort of world i would have thought that in five

00:31:37.300 years time you wished you got in at 150 dollars could be wrong could be wrong that's not financial

00:31:46.380 advice that's not financial advice i'm not a cfa all right the mirror the mirror what have we got

00:31:54.400 oh angela the fridge rainer big bird she chimed in with something what have we got it's not too

00:31:59.160 late for Labour and probably is. Probably is. Ange. Big Ange. The writing's on the wall.

00:32:08.640 Ex-deputy Prime Minister, Big Bird, praises Bumham's by-election campaign but avoids

00:32:14.400 Big Starmer question. Angela the Fridge Rayner insists it is not too late for Labour to regain

00:32:21.660 the public's trust. Yes it is. It's way too late. It's way too late.

00:32:29.160 Simple as that isn't it? The metro. Gross. Okay, the metro. Here we owe. That's funny isn't it? That's clever. Like here we go. But it's about that it costs a lot of money.

00:32:51.360 Fans spend fortune on flights, tickets, TVs and a pint

00:32:55.960 So make us proud Three Lions

00:32:59.260 It's just saying it, you know

00:33:00.600 People are spending money on World Cup things

00:33:04.600 So much so it might put you into debt and then you owe money

00:33:08.120 Here we owe

00:33:09.340 Yep, yep, very clever

00:33:11.120 Alright, they're the front pages

00:33:12.500 They're the front pages

00:33:14.180 Shall we do our poll at this point?

00:33:17.320 Let's do our poll

00:33:18.320 we asked you guys

00:33:20.500 bang on a thousand votes

00:33:22.220 do you think the Russian fleet poses a threat

00:33:24.740 to British shipping

00:33:25.520 ok, interesting

00:33:27.300 and the results

00:33:30.820 come back 0.66

00:33:31.520 the nays have it 1.00

00:33:33.920 the no vote wins

00:33:36.380 58% of you say no

00:33:38.320 18% of you say yes

00:33:40.740 but 24% which is a big chunk

00:33:43.160 isn't it, say maybe

00:33:44.780 all I know

00:33:47.080 is my guts is maybe um but the no's have it it was a national referendum you'd claim a

00:33:53.620 stonking mandate for all time wouldn't you all right there you go we should have a quick look

00:33:59.740 at the price of oil we often do that don't we what's the price of oil doing today what's going

00:34:04.120 on with it uh 75 dollars for west texas and 70 what is that 78 78 dollars for brent crude

00:34:16.680 so about the price perhaps even a shade lower but about the price of when the war in persia started

00:34:27.160 the same price

00:34:27.880 never really went through the roof did it i mean it went up to 120 briefly 118 at one point something

00:34:38.820 like that but now we're back down to the price when the war started which was actually to be

00:34:46.200 fair at that point in february early february 2026 the price was slightly elevated i would have

00:34:54.840 hoped the price of a barrel of oil will be something like 50 or 60 dollars a barrel and it

00:34:58.720 was a bit higher at that moment in time around 78 so to return to that is still not like the best

00:35:07.540 thing in the world but nonetheless nonetheless there is there is does that translate into what

00:35:16.120 we pay at the petrol pump no it doesn't does it all right should we have a look at the websites

00:35:19.940 the main websites uk inflation remains at 2.8 as food price rises ease yeah they thought inflation

00:35:25.860 would be up but it's actually stayed steady steadily increasing right that's what inflation

00:35:32.020 is it's still increasing to the tune of 2.8 what you pay for food a bit of cheese isn't it a cliche

00:35:38.660 now that whenever i talk about food prices i immediately mention cheese what you pay for food

00:35:44.580 at the supermarket still keep going up and just keep going up are your wages going up

00:35:51.860 probably not okay so there's no sort of win that inflation stays the same if it's in positive

00:36:00.260 numbers well inflation by definition would be a positive number but okay otherwise it's deflation

00:36:04.660 but all right the treasury and rachel reeves and the government will try and claim that as some

00:36:09.940 sort of win, it's not

00:36:11.060 West Streeting says

00:36:13.640 he would be prepared to trigger

00:36:15.880 leadership contests as early as next week

00:36:18.200 i.e. as soon as the by-election is over

00:36:22.180 because again it'll be Thursday night

00:36:24.340 wee hours of Friday morning

00:36:25.400 when that by-election comes to a head

00:36:28.240 there's a couple of

00:36:30.340 stories I thought was interesting

00:36:32.120 oh Jeremy Clarkson

00:36:33.840 Jeremy Clarkson reveals

00:36:36.140 he's got, or has already had

00:36:37.940 prostate cancer

00:36:39.580 Jezza

00:36:41.160 Our Jezza

00:36:42.700 It may have been a while ago as well

00:36:46.360 It may have been like a year ago

00:36:47.320 Because he revealed it on his show

00:36:48.740 The Clarkson's Farm

00:36:50.600 But that was

00:36:51.600 Look that was filmed

00:36:52.660 Or shot

00:36:54.300 In 2024 and 2025

00:36:57.400 He said he had

00:36:59.120 Prostate cancer

00:37:00.920 It was aggressive

00:37:02.240 But they got it super early

00:37:03.860 He's had surgery

00:37:05.260 And he should be fine

00:37:07.640 there you go but it's a worry isn't it prostate cancer that can sort of it's usually quite deadly

00:37:15.160 it can spread very quickly unless you get it very early but he said he did

00:37:18.700 so fingers crossed for jezza hashtag pray for jez and i don't mean that sarcastically in any way

00:37:26.320 all right fair few of the uh it's mentioned on like uh was it like for example the sun

00:37:34.060 I think the sun leads with it

00:37:36.960 Yeah, like the sun

00:37:37.580 Top of the sun

00:37:38.860 A number of

00:37:41.520 Okay, alright

00:37:42.400 There was

00:37:45.320 There was a Messi scored a hat-trick

00:37:48.240 He's still going

00:37:49.040 He's quite relatively old, isn't he?

00:37:50.700 Messi

00:37:50.940 People thought the last World Cup

00:37:54.080 Would probably be his last World Cup

00:37:55.320 Still going

00:37:56.380 Scoring a hat-trick, in fact

00:37:57.720 I mean, remarkable

00:37:59.020 Here's an interesting story

00:38:00.520 That broke yesterday

00:38:04.480 Group planned to attack

00:38:07.280 White House UFC event

00:38:08.740 Using snipers and drones

00:38:10.360 FBI says

00:38:12.220 It's a bit worrying is it

00:38:16.340 The story is

00:38:17.180 That there was a group of

00:38:22.000 Like 20 plus people

00:38:23.860 In the United States

00:38:25.380 That planned to do

00:38:27.660 A terrorist

00:38:29.120 A terrorist

00:38:29.980 Mass casualty event

00:38:31.880 At the UFC

00:38:33.220 That was on the south lawn

00:38:34.840 Of the White House

00:38:35.500 The other day

00:38:35.920 The Claw

00:38:37.040 Dana White's

00:38:38.500 UFC

00:38:39.200 And the details were

00:38:41.580 And five of them

00:38:42.840 Have been arrested

00:38:43.480 Why all of them

00:38:45.420 Haven't been arrested

00:38:45.920 I don't know

00:38:46.280 I guess they're

00:38:46.900 Still an ongoing thing

00:38:48.020 I guess the FBI

00:38:48.980 Do want them

00:38:49.720 But at least five

00:38:51.440 That we know of

00:38:52.080 Have been arrested

00:38:52.560 And the plan was

00:38:53.620 Something like

00:38:54.320 As far as we know

00:38:55.300 They were going to use

00:38:57.900 Drones

00:38:58.580 I guess like

00:38:59.420 those like explosive and explosive drone to hit certain places around the white house or the south

00:39:08.600 lawn to cause panic and chaos and funnel people everyone's trying to run away from it like funnel

00:39:15.720 people in a certain direction or directions and then they'd have a second set of people

00:39:21.720 With rifles

00:39:24.420 High powered rifles I suppose

00:39:26.060 Snipers

00:39:26.840 To pick loads of them off

00:39:29.100 As they're all funneled in one direction

00:39:30.660 I properly thought out

00:39:34.160 Almost like

00:39:35.720 Almost like a military style operation

00:39:37.560 Ambush type

00:39:38.260 Properly thought out 1.00

00:39:40.000 It seems

00:39:41.100 Worryingly so

00:39:41.940 And then also

00:39:43.540 To

00:39:44.640 Add to that confusion

00:39:46.740 Like another team of people

00:39:48.340 Terrorists

00:39:49.420 Would then try and

00:39:51.660 storm the white house itself storm like the main gates or something well all i guess well

00:39:58.720 the secret service and all the security guards there are all trying to deal with that another

00:40:04.940 team will try and storm the white house itself anyway it was completely foiled right it was

00:40:10.340 foiled i think i think it's right that in the days before the actual event went down it was foiled

00:40:16.220 well that's worrying isn't it jd vance went on i think fox yesterday and he said he only found

00:40:24.060 out about it that morning and he said he said a few words a few sentiments about how it's the left

00:40:33.420 why is it always the left doing this i'm not sure it was the left in this instance

00:40:36.720 you think oh it's muslims i think i think they're well they are they were christians

00:40:43.600 And maybe sort of patriotic type Christians

00:40:48.940 Okay, because my first thought was 1.00

00:40:52.500 Oh, well, you know, that would be a Muslim thing 1.00

00:40:55.380 No, not in this case 1.00

00:40:56.480 No, it says they were

00:40:58.400 Prosecutors said charging documents

00:41:01.000 They had alleged to express ultra-religious

00:41:03.120 And anti-government sentiments

00:41:05.100 I mean, one of them is called Omar

00:41:08.180 But their names are Tyson Proper

00:41:11.240 Brian Omar Rower

00:41:14.880 Michael Alan Thomas

00:41:17.160 Daniel Eskridge

00:41:19.440 Abraham Alvarez

00:41:22.680 And they were Christian 1.00

00:41:27.500 And they just don't like the way America was going 0.98

00:41:30.560 They're upset about

00:41:33.140 According to the reports

00:41:37.200 They're upset about

00:41:38.680 The handling of the Epstein files

00:41:45.820 And just the general direction

00:41:49.120 That the United States are going

00:41:52.300 There's some suggestion that

00:41:53.820 They wanted to try and target

00:41:55.900 Trump himself, J.D. Vance

00:41:57.800 Benjamin Netanyahu

00:41:59.320 And Elon Musk

00:42:00.740 I'd hoped most of those

00:42:03.940 Were attending the UFC event

00:42:06.040 Not all of those people were

00:42:07.120 but yeah and a lot of these people 20 plus people that were apparently involved in this were some

00:42:13.840 of them were former military members and christian based according to the bbc they wanted to jump

00:42:20.800 start a revolution by shooting high value targets identified as wealthy people and politicians

00:42:25.980 attending the ufc event they had specifically discussed grievances about government corruption

00:42:31.180 the handling of the epstein files data centers taking up all the water in communities and other

00:42:36.580 government actions. Group members stated that they wanted to, quote, protect the United States,

00:42:44.720 which they believed was headed in the wrong direction. Members of the group believed that

00:42:49.520 United States needed to be torn down so that it could be rebuilt. They don't sound like leftists,

00:42:54.020 particularly. Maybe they are. All right. I mean, it was all, it was all thwarted. So

00:43:01.400 I'll just look at the chat

00:43:05.560 Someone said anarchists

00:43:06.580 Oh yeah that would make sense

00:43:07.800 That would make sense

00:43:11.400 There's two types of anarchists aren't there

00:43:14.800 There's the lefty

00:43:16.820 Ultra lefty anarchists

00:43:19.100 That are more commie than commies

00:43:20.660 And then there's sort of

00:43:22.780 The libertarian style

00:43:24.280 Anarchists

00:43:25.560 They're both anarchists

00:43:28.300 Very very different like that

00:43:29.780 What's the guy, I can never remember his name

00:43:33.120 Hugo did an interview with him once

00:43:39.740 Michael Malice

00:43:41.160 Is that his name, Michael Malice?

00:43:43.800 Well he's like an anarchist

00:43:45.380 But not a lefty anarchist

00:43:47.000 Don't be confused

00:43:48.320 Anyway, that would make sense

00:43:49.800 If you ever put that in the chat, it's already gone

00:43:51.180 Yeah, good point, fair point

00:43:52.900 Maybe

00:43:53.820 Alright

00:43:55.680 It was foiled, I suppose that's the main thing

00:43:59.380 isn't it

00:44:00.420 alright

00:44:01.760 what's the time

00:44:02.680 it's already quarter two

00:44:03.460 well

00:44:03.740 should we just move

00:44:04.780 there was one other article

00:44:05.700 I think in the mail

00:44:06.980 that I thought was worth

00:44:08.000 look Jeremy

00:44:08.740 with these kinds of bits

00:44:10.700 says he's going to be alright

00:44:11.680 for now

00:44:14.560 at least

00:44:15.520 oh look 0.95

00:44:18.460 these two muppets

00:44:19.320 did a video on this

00:44:20.260 on the state of politics

00:44:21.260 state of politics

00:44:21.800 the other day

00:44:22.480 where these two mugs

00:44:24.840 were going around 1.00

00:44:27.520 threatening people

00:44:28.200 they're supposed to be

00:44:28.660 Community support officers

00:44:29.900 Go around threatening people

00:44:31.680 To knock them out 0.99

00:44:32.620 Rip their teeth out 0.99

00:44:33.840 Stuff

00:44:34.900 Supposed to be helping the community

00:44:36.760 Supposed to be a force for good

00:44:38.340 Well now

00:44:40.640 They did get fired

00:44:42.320 But now at least the

00:44:44.360 The mail is reporting that 0.76

00:44:46.040 These thugs in uniform

00:44:48.460 Council enforcement officers

00:44:49.820 Who threatened to rip out

00:44:51.080 A man's teeth

00:44:52.260 Are unmasked

00:44:53.460 As they acted like

00:44:55.620 Gangsters for weeks

00:44:56.860 Yeah

00:44:58.520 Look at them

00:45:02.460 Look at these two

00:45:03.860 They got jobs as community enforcement officers

00:45:08.800 At Harrow Council

00:45:10.060 And thought they ran the streets 1.00

00:45:12.520 What pathetic losers 1.00

00:45:17.200 They thought they ran the streets 1.00

00:45:18.660 They thought they were just kingpins now

00:45:20.520 The street belonged to them

00:45:22.080 If you do a say anything they don't like

00:45:24.280 They'll just beat you up

00:45:25.300 yeah good one good one are you in england that's not how we do things

00:45:33.560 you don't care do you they don't care they don't care they thought they were above the law or 1.00

00:45:40.140 something absolute cretins okay should we do on this day in history should we do that bit 1.00

00:45:51.340 I quite like that bit 0.99

00:45:52.960 Oh one other thing I must mention

00:45:55.180 Rupert Lowe's

00:45:57.840 Restored Britain's

00:46:00.280 Rape Gang Inquiry

00:46:02.260 So it only came out yesterday

00:46:04.580 Was it early yesterday

00:46:06.220 It's like the PDF is like

00:46:08.360 219 pages

00:46:10.100 So I haven't had time to read it

00:46:12.600 I will read it

00:46:13.340 But I haven't had time to read it yet

00:46:16.920 I may even not

00:46:18.520 Bring details of it to you

00:46:20.640 Until next week

00:46:21.500 Because I'm not even on on Friday

00:46:23.380 I'm not sure I'll have time to read the whole thing by tomorrow morning

00:46:26.440 I'll actually try but I might not be able to

00:46:28.380 But I wanted to report to you that it is there

00:46:30.340 It is there

00:46:32.120 119 pages of it

00:46:34.660 Okay I've had a quick look

00:46:37.740 Read some of the pages

00:46:38.940 Some of it already harrowing

00:46:43.460 Really really harrowing

00:46:44.760 Obviously

00:46:45.280 Okay

00:46:47.600 Let's have a look at on this day in history

00:46:50.940 The 17th of June down through the centuries

00:46:54.120 What happened of note

00:46:54.780 Let's have a look

00:46:55.880 On this day in 656 AD

00:46:59.140 Ali ibn Abu Talib

00:47:01.700 Elected the 4th Caliph

00:47:03.200 Of the Rashidun Caliphate 1.00

00:47:05.420 It's a big one isn't it 1.00

00:47:09.340 Anyone does know Ali

00:47:10.760 He's often just known as just Ali

00:47:13.180 The 4th Caliph

00:47:15.140 Yep, that's the one

00:47:19.040 That tea's gone cold

00:47:22.280 Let me move to my back up water

00:47:23.780 That's the one

00:47:26.440 That caused the schism 0.99

00:47:29.220 Between the Shia and the Sunni, isn't it?

00:47:32.240 It's been a long time since I brushed up on

00:47:34.080 The historical facts of the life of Muhammad

00:47:38.080 If they are historical facts

00:47:40.560 Tom Holland in his book

00:47:42.640 The Shadow of the Sword casts doubt on that

00:47:44.760 If you believe the accounts 1.00

00:47:47.860 After Muhammad 0.99

00:47:49.420 Like Ali was his cousin

00:47:51.800 And his son-in-law

00:47:53.860 Married him to one of his daughters

00:47:56.840 I believe isn't it 0.95

00:47:58.160 Cousin marriage

00:48:00.320 Anyway

00:48:01.500 He was his cousin and son-in-law

00:48:04.200 Was with him the whole time 0.79

00:48:06.580 One of Muhammad's right hand men

00:48:08.740 Was with him on his flight to Medina

00:48:12.000 Etc 0.99

00:48:12.540 And then when Muhammad died 0.99

00:48:14.460 i'm hoping i'm getting all the details of this right it's one of those things if you get any

00:48:20.060 detail even remotely wrong they won't be happy so apologies if i get any of these details even

00:48:27.020 the tiniest bit wrong when muhammad died you know ali already had a faction around him

00:48:32.420 and he could have may have tried to become the leader himself at that point but didn't he sort

00:48:37.580 stood down stood aside got two more caliphs after muhammad at least one of them was assassinated

00:48:44.700 anyway uh by the mid 650s um there's the the last caliph was assassinated i believe and then there

00:48:57.460 was more than one faction who should be the leader next and you've got a schism between the sunnis

00:49:03.360 and the shia ali is the the shia one the shia revere him as like the correct the continuation

00:49:10.560 of it is correctly done through ali and onwards and the sunnis say no no that was wrong that was

00:49:16.620 a wrong turn there ali is not he wasn't like the proper the proper legit caliph there's lots more

00:49:24.980 sunnis in the world aren't there than than shilats there you go all big religions have their their

00:49:31.220 schisms don't they islam had one sort of right away within one generation after the death of 0.65

00:49:37.200 muhammad okay ali himself was assassinated not many years later all right on this day in 1527

00:49:46.840 uh narvaez is that how you pronounce it i've never really known panfilo de narvaez probably

00:49:54.680 not pronounced it correctly uh departs spain to explore florida with five ships and 600 men

00:50:00.160 by 1536 only four men are still alive yeah it's one of those ones where

00:50:04.040 like Magellan I've got content all about Magellan where he set off with uh what was it five ships

00:50:12.620 and a few hundred men and in the end only 19 survive in the very very early days of the age

00:50:20.360 of exploration of the sick of the early 16th century it's extremely extremely dangerous

00:50:27.320 all sorts of things could uh spell your demise okay on this day in 1579 english navigator

00:50:36.860 francis drake sir francis drake lands on the coast of california and what becomes known as

00:50:41.620 drake's bay for ship repairs claims area on behalf of queen elizabeth good queen bess

00:50:46.700 and names it nova albion like new england sort of thing on um

00:50:51.720 on history bro i've got a a series all about drake what's it i can't remember seven eight

00:51:05.160 nine parts a few hours talking about sir francis drake the second man to navigate the earth after

00:51:12.740 magellan the first englishman to navigate he went all the way around the world heading west

00:51:18.860 came all the way back

00:51:20.620 and sailed around the bottom of South America

00:51:23.960 he didn't try and go through the Straits of Magellan

00:51:25.980 or what later got called the Straits of Magellan

00:51:27.540 he just went all the way around

00:51:29.000 South America

00:51:30.860 and then all the way up the west coast of South America

00:51:34.240 and North America

00:51:35.960 they're not entirely

00:51:38.780 I think if I recall

00:51:39.680 they're not entirely sure

00:51:41.360 100% sure

00:51:42.320 where Drake put in there

00:51:45.140 different scholars and historians

00:51:48.260 to argue over exactly where that is i mean there's a place drake's bay but whether that was the one

00:51:53.220 i'm not sure the accounts aren't perfectly clear but anyway anyway yeah an englishman sailing up

00:52:01.720 the coast of california as early as 1579 francis drake an incredible life an incredible man

00:52:07.760 his circumnavigation of globe is just one of three or arguably four four incredible things

00:52:16.140 he did and took part in okay the Taj Mahal on this day in 1361 Mumtaz Mahal dies during

00:52:25.860 childbirth that's a woman dies during childbirth her husband Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan I then

00:52:31.960 spends more than 20 years building her tomb the Taj Mahal people say it's like one of the most

00:52:38.700 beautiful buildings in the world don't they I don't I don't think so I mean it's good looking

00:52:44.360 isn't it? It is a beautiful building. It's one of the most beautiful buildings in the

00:52:47.760 world. No? Get real. I don't think so. Give me Westminster Abbey any day of the week.

00:53:00.040 All right, on this day in 1789, French Revolution, during the meeting of the Estates de Generale,

00:53:05.000 The Third Estate proclaims itself 0.80

00:53:06.780 The National Assembly 0.99

00:53:08.060 Right now

00:53:12.360 Behind the paywall

00:53:14.360 On notacetus.com

00:53:15.560 Do consider sign up for this £5 a month

00:53:17.240 On my history themed channel

00:53:20.040 Bodade's Epochs

00:53:21.800 Right now

00:53:24.120 Every Sunday

00:53:24.920 Releasing long form content

00:53:27.440 About the French Revolution

00:53:28.640 Already covered it before

00:53:29.880 Covered it quite early on

00:53:31.240 And touched on it here or there as well

00:53:34.020 But I'm talking about it again with Apostolic Majesty, the brilliant Apostolic Majesty, one of, arguably, I would say, the best history content creator out there.

00:53:45.980 True, true, true genius. A man whose knowledge is apparently limitless.

00:53:52.480 A talking head of talking heads. Great, fascinating person, endless knowledge.

00:53:56.820 We sat down the other week

00:53:58.980 We spoke for so long

00:54:00.780 We've got a two part

00:54:01.980 I've got two parts

00:54:02.660 Talking about the French Revolution

00:54:03.660 With him

00:54:04.180 So last Sunday

00:54:06.560 And then this coming Sunday

00:54:07.620 Look out for that

00:54:09.560 And yeah of course

00:54:11.080 The third estate

00:54:12.000 Proclaiming itself

00:54:12.900 The National Assembly

00:54:14.280 That would be where

00:54:16.660 The king

00:54:17.820 They thought the king

00:54:18.900 Had locked them out

00:54:19.920 Of the building

00:54:20.660 Where they were going to assemble

00:54:22.320 And so they're like

00:54:24.560 And it may be a comedy of errors

00:54:26.280 Maybe the king didn't even really do that

00:54:28.460 They just locked the doors temporarily

00:54:29.920 In order to do something else

00:54:32.740 But the third estate

00:54:34.240 Basically the normal people

00:54:36.480 Not the son culotte

00:54:39.720 But anyway

00:54:40.120 They thought they'd been locked out for good

00:54:42.320 And they're just staring at tyranny now

00:54:43.860 So they went down the road

00:54:45.880 Literally just down the road a bit

00:54:47.280 To a tennis court

00:54:48.500 An indoor tennis court

00:54:51.460 Was it real tennis?

00:54:52.240 Anyway, an indoor sort of tennis court

00:54:53.680 And they said, right, wherever we are

00:54:56.320 Wherever we are, we are the government

00:54:59.220 We don't need the building, specific building

00:55:02.320 We don't need the king to green light it or not

00:55:05.120 Wherever we are, we are the National Assembly

00:55:07.580 We are the government, we are the executive

00:55:09.100 Policy sits with us now, wherever we choose to assemble ourselves

00:55:13.360 Okay

00:55:18.260 Will that end in tears

00:55:22.780 And a type of terror where 20,000 people get guillotined

00:55:28.740 Yeah, it did, yeah

00:55:29.680 Anyway

00:55:30.260 There you go

00:55:32.440 Watch Epochs if you want to know about it in proper detail

00:55:35.240 From a true genius, Apostolic Majesty, not me

00:55:37.680 Okay, on this day in 1837

00:55:40.320 Charles Goodyear obtains his first rubber patent

00:55:43.180 Oh, does he?

00:55:44.780 It's a weird factoid

00:55:45.540 I guess that's like the Goodyear blimp, Goodyear

00:55:47.620 On this day in 1856, the Republican Party opens its first national convention as party members meet in Philadelphia.

00:55:55.820 Okay, again, that's mildly interesting, just before the Civil War.

00:56:03.340 The Republican Party.

00:56:04.920 Alright.

00:56:06.540 Okay.

00:56:08.700 Let's do our Rumble Rants and Super Chats.

00:56:12.940 Let's see what I've got.

00:56:13.740 Let me do that with my right back so I can see the left and side of my screen.

00:56:17.620 okay will um will global church history being at number one yes he is i've got quite a few

00:56:25.080 rubble rants today more than usual quite a few more than usual all right um so global church

00:56:31.440 history in at number one says on this day in 362 ad julian the apostate oh we had a junior

00:56:37.120 apostate factor yesterday didn't we um julian the apostate uh martyrs uh saint manuel sable

00:56:44.400 And Ishmael for their Christian faith

00:56:46.960 Oh yeah, Julian the Apostate 0.77

00:56:48.960 As the name suggests

00:56:51.500 As far as Christians are concerned

00:56:53.360 He was an apostate 0.99

00:56:54.000 He tried to return Rome and the Roman world 0.90

00:56:56.180 To sort of the old pagan gods 0.95

00:56:58.400 You know 0.94

00:57:00.400 Of Jupiter and Juno

00:57:02.360 Or whatever

00:57:02.980 Yeah 1.00

00:57:04.860 So he was going around and martyring Christians 0.96

00:57:08.180 It's post-Constantime 0.91

00:57:09.540 So it's sort of

00:57:10.200 A type of

00:57:13.180 Swan song

00:57:14.320 slight renaissance of roman paganism for a very brief period there under julian the apostate okay

00:57:20.420 and then the other thing you say in 1397 the kalmar union was founded uniting all of scandinavia

00:57:27.100 under eric of pomerania okay i'm afraid i don't know a great deal about that

00:57:31.740 usually i've got something to say about most factoids

00:57:35.200 but i don't know everything that happened in all of history

00:57:38.720 so i don't know much about that i don't know much about eric of pomerania i'm afraid

00:57:44.880 okay let's move on jeffrey afarnall says morning bow morning sir

00:57:49.200 i think even the establishment knows that makerfield will be a big surprise

00:57:53.720 it will be such poetic justice if restore beat reform aim high vote low

00:57:59.820 well you know the rest yeah nice thank you even if restore come third

00:58:08.360 But it's a healthy third

00:58:10.960 I.e. we're not too far behind the other two

00:58:13.280 And we completely trounce

00:58:15.300 The Lib Dems, the Tories and the Greens

00:58:17.360 And anyone else standing

00:58:18.800 Which I think is the bare minimum that's going to happen

00:58:21.240 That's still solid

00:58:22.620 That's still healthy and solid

00:58:24.400 That's not a bad result at all

00:58:26.380 If we beat Reform

00:58:29.080 That'd be brilliant

00:58:29.980 And if we win the seat itself

00:58:33.840 It'd be remarkable

00:58:36.320 It'd be a turn up for the books

00:58:37.280 But we'll see

00:58:39.200 We'll see how it goes

00:58:40.860 A healthy third is a good result

00:58:43.860 Okay

00:58:45.440 What else have we got

00:58:47.720 GWFF says

00:58:49.620 ITM

00:58:53.540 Oh in the morning

00:58:55.640 In the morning bow

00:58:56.920 FYI in the biz

00:58:59.740 I do believe repeated lines or phrases

00:59:01.940 Are called schtick or bits

00:59:03.680 Anyway

00:59:05.400 Thank you for your courage

00:59:07.880 Oh thank you that's kind

00:59:09.060 Yeah I like

00:59:12.240 I obviously like and very deliberately do

00:59:14.160 Repeated

00:59:14.960 Lines and phrases

00:59:17.420 Particularly because it's a breakfast show

00:59:19.760 And I know what it's like to

00:59:21.760 Like a breakfast show

00:59:24.140 And tune into it every morning

00:59:26.160 Or nearly every morning

00:59:27.160 It becomes part of your routine

00:59:28.860 And

00:59:32.000 Having it as a routine

00:59:34.320 is nice you know what you're going to get you know what you're likely to get it's like a familiar

00:59:39.500 thing because most days are a bit like a groundhog day aren't they especially when you work

00:59:45.900 most mornings are it's the same thing over and over again every single morning

00:59:49.860 and if you've got someone to narrate it for you and they say the same sorts of things over and

00:59:54.160 over again that you like then it's welcome usually isn't it that's the idea that's the idea that's

01:00:00.060 why i say the same things i had a couple of um comments early on in the bow show people say

01:00:04.960 why are you saying the same thing every day it's very deliberate it's like very deliberate okay

01:00:11.100 all right pig dog 5150 says rain keeps falling rain keeps falling down down

01:00:20.140 oh that's um don't you forget about me so just put and then they've just put la la la la la la 0.91

01:00:45.120 Not him

01:00:45.700 I know

01:00:47.460 But he's so incredibly intolerable

01:00:49.180 Even a mannequin

01:00:50.120 Would be preferable

01:00:51.160 It'll be interesting

01:00:53.240 To see the by-election result

01:00:54.420 On Friday

01:00:54.840 Yeah absolutely yeah

01:00:55.740 he is like i know it's what everyone says but there's a reason for he is like an automaton

01:01:02.400 isn't he he's like a robot there's something there's something oddly robotic about him

01:01:07.180 like everything he does and says is just a program playing out the starma bot 8.8.2

01:01:13.980 with upgrades the latest starma bot patch hasn't taken properly yeah okay based nemesian

01:01:24.440 says hi bo love the show oh thank you i normally watch the replay but today i'm watching live

01:01:57.500 yeah lovely stuff lovely stuff thank you for your service quick okay rick twgp says don't really

01:02:08.320 like young bob because of what he said about ethnats i don't even know what he said about

01:02:12.700 uh i guess he disavowed them uh but did you see those cowardly people you use a different word

01:02:21.020 Cowardly people attack him

01:02:23.120 In Manchester, yeah, yeah

01:02:24.260 Oh yeah, yeah, didn't I talk about it yesterday?

01:02:26.940 I certainly mentioned it in passing, didn't I?

01:02:30.000 We made a video about it

01:02:30.960 On state of politics

01:02:31.880 Harry, can you go to

01:02:35.120 Just stay in Cannes

01:02:36.580 We made a video all about it on state of politics

01:02:45.140 Did I not mention it on the Bo Show?

01:02:46.860 Okay, yeah

01:02:47.560 Young Bob got basically

01:02:50.640 a little bit beat up not not terribly they weren't stomping his unconscious head but they did beat

01:02:55.640 him up a bit twice just for sitting there wanting to debate people in public poor kid i quite like

01:03:02.480 him yeah i don't agree with every take he's ever had i mean his views on christianity isn't he like

01:03:06.980 um like eastern orthodox or something find that odd but okay but yeah you don't have to agree with

01:03:13.940 someone's takes a hundred percent of their takes in fact it's almost impossible i'm not sure if

01:03:18.900 there's anyone out there not anyone i've agreed with 100 of their takes probably morgoth comes

01:03:24.500 closest for me most of you guys you won't agree with every single take i've ever said right

01:03:29.680 as long as it's enough you can be a fan and follow them so i don't agree with everything

01:03:34.900 i've ever heard young bob say but but he's a good kid and i like him and he's on side and he's he's

01:03:39.880 all right i like him so i just hope i just hope that if he insists on keep doing that

01:03:47.220 I.e. debating the public

01:03:49.300 Either just don't do that anymore Bob

01:03:52.260 Or if you insist that you're going to

01:03:54.520 Get some bouncer dudes

01:03:57.120 To flank you at all times

01:03:59.820 Because the reality is 1.00

01:04:03.860 Those feral scumbags 1.00

01:04:06.460 That beat you up 1.00

01:04:07.400 They could have had enough 0.97

01:04:09.560 Instead of just a punch in the face 0.99

01:04:11.860 It could have been a blade to the jugular 0.97

01:04:13.520 Couldn't it?

01:04:16.180 You're lucky

01:04:16.600 And you're lucky that they didn't

01:04:18.680 Short of that

01:04:19.660 That they didn't knock you out cold

01:04:21.640 And then just start booting you in your unconscious head

01:04:24.000 And you end up in a coma 1.00

01:04:26.560 Or die 0.98

01:04:27.080 If they got a clean punch on your jaw 1.00

01:04:30.400 Or on your temple 1.00

01:04:31.700 And it's one of those knockouts

01:04:33.260 Where you're knocked out before you even hit the ground

01:04:34.700 Starched on your feet

01:04:37.220 And you fall over and whack your head on the ground 0.92

01:04:39.120 That can kill you 1.00

01:04:39.820 That kills people

01:04:41.120 Don't risk it mate

01:04:44.540 I wouldn't risk it 1.00

01:04:45.840 for what to debate with bad faith morons on the street it's not worth it 0.99

01:04:50.940 not in my opinion all right uh based the messian again says uh we need to make sure that we are 0.99

01:04:58.620 not stitched up in the count bow yeah oh yeah oh yeah there should be all sorts of people there

01:05:06.020 there will be all sorts of people there to sort of prevent that ideally yeah then we

01:05:10.880 Should be alright on that count

01:05:13.260 In Britain

01:05:13.780 Well

01:05:15.980 There's been questions and issues

01:05:19.980 Haven't there

01:05:20.520 But hopefully we won't get

01:05:23.840 Stitched out by the actual count

01:05:25.120 Restore have to put their own restore seals

01:05:27.760 On the ballot boxes

01:05:28.780 The officials can easily tamper with their official seals

01:05:31.620 You know

01:05:33.140 I think I would have thought that the restore 0.98

01:05:35.420 People and reform people

01:05:37.600 As well will be sort of

01:05:39.440 hyper vigilant about that sort of thing i think so but thanks for the heads up anyway still a few

01:05:47.380 more here fallen firebird says there's a mistaken view among some types that the caliphates were

01:05:53.580 some tranquil peaceful age are they they're mistaken yeah uh but do the reading 0.93

01:05:59.960 you see i'm sorry is there some sort of type here you see islam was uh riven with bloody 1.00

01:06:08.920 religious wars from the start see the fitness yeah i mean yeah if you look at the age of mohammed 0.99

01:06:13.800 you know they were in he was a warlord fighting battles and wars all over the place when he died 0.88

01:06:20.420 nothing stopped they're sort of immediately fighting battles all over the arabian peninsula

01:06:25.500 and beyond and with each other oh yeah it's yeah chaotic extremely chaotic yeah right gwff again

01:06:34.040 says Trump assassination attempt is likely an FBI six-week cycle sting. Look it up it's a real

01:06:43.420 thing. Every six weeks they find some dumb patsy in a bar and button them up then swoop in at the 0.99

01:06:49.060 11th hour. I wouldn't put it past the FBI. I certainly know things like that have happened 0.97

01:06:57.860 in the past whether it's every six weeks I don't know about every six weeks but certain things

01:07:01.680 like that have certainly happened remember the las vegas shooter remember that when he's shooting

01:07:08.960 out of like the hotel window really high up down onto a concert remember that one

01:07:16.240 no further comment jeffrey farnell says and regarding the taj mahal it was we british

01:07:27.680 under lord curzon who restored it after it fell into total disrepair oh that's interesting i

01:07:32.080 didn't even know that i know a lot about lord curzon um a really really important statesman

01:07:38.880 in like the late 19th century early 20th century i didn't actually know that we repaired or he

01:07:45.600 repaired it after it had fallen into total disrepair that's interesting that's interesting

01:07:49.280 you learn something every day how about that nice i like learning new stuff right the last two are

01:07:54.880 are both from GWFF, and you say, Bing Bang Bosh, FBI are the heroes, there's more funding

01:08:01.480 for next cycle, pat yourselves on the backs boys, problem, reaction, solution, governance, 1.00

01:08:07.660 got to think of the big picture band of bros and hoes. Interesting comment, interesting 1.00

01:08:15.200 comment okay and last one is uh beau if you could please remember to

01:08:24.320 i'm not sure what you're saying here if i should read it

01:08:33.520 okay i'm not sure exactly what you're saying but you say bo if you could please remember to

01:08:37.600 knit one purl one drop one and curl one this evening that would be great come on england

01:08:45.200 I guess you're talking about the England football team.

01:08:47.960 I don't know what all those,

01:08:50.720 well, exactly what those quotes are.

01:08:52.240 But, okay, yeah.

01:08:53.960 I'm rooting for England.

01:08:55.040 I don't know if I'll bother actually even watching it.

01:08:57.520 I might have it on in the background

01:08:58.540 because it's on in the evening, UK time.

01:09:03.100 I do find it a bit difficult these days

01:09:04.720 to really care about football.

01:09:06.280 But still, I'll probably have it on.

01:09:07.740 It'd be churlish to refuse to watch it, wouldn't it, I feel like.

01:09:12.720 Probably have it on in the background.

01:09:14.120 all right youtube super chats there's loads of those today as well okay quite a few of those

01:09:19.880 let's get through them uh something wickedly superfan showler says i used to drink with

01:09:25.020 russians they're fine yeah i've only ever known one russia actual proper russian in my time and

01:09:32.380 that was briefly and he was a really good laugh and well all right take that for what it's worth

01:10:05.400 Not getting ripped in the Guardian

01:10:07.340 are you alive okay I'm not sure exactly what you're saying there the next one is how long

01:10:19.380 till JD slaps Starmer like he actually physically slapped him across the face with an empty glove

01:10:26.880 it was like the back of his hand in like a fey manner we're talking like a proper slap like he's

01:10:32.840 trying to like those slap knockout competitions where you actually hit them with like the heel

01:10:38.140 of your palm and it's really like it's more or less like getting punched really okay

01:10:43.180 lush chopper says hello bo love the show oh thank you very much i normally lurk as i listen at work

01:10:52.220 i've got a groundbreaking question to ask how is your geordie accent i've noticed

01:11:05.460 a donkey in the groove there you go that's about the best i can do all right um the educated yobo

01:11:20.900 says are you guys aware of donna edmunds laughing at the grooming gang report saying it's false

01:11:26.820 councillor of shropshire was reformed and then joined advance yes yes i did see that that was

01:11:33.380 that was scummy that was absolutely scummy 0.89

01:11:35.980 what a freak what what kind of mindset have you got to be in have you got to be in where the

01:11:44.680 rupert does this report it was done by barristers and then worked on for quite a while weeks and 0.54

01:11:50.960 months by Josh and others, and then it comes out, and within minutes or a few hours, you

01:11:57.860 find one tiny little thing that you think is wrong with it, and you make a video laughing

01:12:01.760 about that. Really? It's a laughable thing. What a disgusting freak. All right. Something

01:12:16.840 wickedly shona again says so dan will need to read my nonsense out yeah dan will have to on

01:12:22.160 friday yeah uh tygr8 says friday morning with dan sounds great like when the substitute teacher

01:12:30.340 lets you watch a movie in class yeah all bets are off on friday you can go crazy

01:12:35.220 okay tatum says do you think the u.s economy will crash soon probably not soon but

01:12:43.180 The fundamentals aren't great

01:12:46.440 They're in debt

01:12:47.540 A national debt to the tune of

01:12:49.440 Something like 33 trillion

01:12:51.600 35 trillion

01:12:52.840 Something crazy

01:12:54.400 At some point

01:12:57.180 That house of cards is likely to collapse

01:12:59.080 Anytime soon, I don't know about soon

01:13:01.100 I don't think soon

01:13:02.080 But it's sort of hard baked in

01:13:04.460 It's likely to happen at some point

01:13:08.240 Okay, the next two are shown again

01:13:10.720 Ed sees the number

01:13:11.980 Ed sees the number and thinks it's a rent boy

01:13:14.680 Oh, on his phone

01:13:17.400 Is that Starmer or is that a rent boy?

01:13:20.060 Either way, decline

01:13:21.580 Yeah, maybe

01:13:22.580 Bad day to get off the glue for labour 0.97

01:13:26.820 Shona also says

01:13:30.320 That's exactly what that means

01:13:34.520 Okay, Luke Stewart says

01:13:37.980 Don't forget Starlink and other satellite transport services SpaceX provide

01:13:41.820 Yeah, I mean, the idea that SpaceX, and it may well be overpriced at the moment, it may well be overpriced, but the potential of SpaceX is gigantic.

01:13:58.460 All right, Daswa123 says, wouldn't it be funny while Russia was in the channel if Putin ordered them to stop a few small boats just to pee off Starmer and show him how easy it would be?

01:14:10.240 that would be hilarious that would be great i'd like i think that'd be funny that'd be good i'd

01:14:16.420 enjoy that actually i think okay shana again says why is lammy talking like diane abbott now

01:14:22.740 i don't know i haven't seen lammy in the last day or two um

01:14:43.360 But yeah, I'll have it on

01:14:45.840 Amazing Disgraced911 says

01:14:48.680 Your government is manipulating you just as ours are

01:14:52.760 Or is or whatever, you know the thing

01:14:58.840 Okay, yeah, well, I mean, you're not wrong

01:15:00.980 They are manipulating us

01:15:02.300 Yeah, as much as they possibly can

01:15:04.680 Shona again says

01:15:06.140 Young Bob needs

01:15:08.460 Fred the bodyguard, oh yeah have you seen that Fred

01:15:10.480 That Fred dude, you ever seen that

01:15:12.680 The people are doing vox pops

01:15:14.640 On the street and if people confront

01:15:16.660 Him and get aggro with him in the street

01:15:18.460 He'll just sort of push them over 0.96

01:15:20.700 Or boot them in the chest 0.91

01:15:22.000 Do a Hulk Hogan big boot 0.99

01:15:24.800 To their chest, send them flying 0.62

01:15:26.420 Yeah young Bob needs him

01:15:27.780 Yeah

01:15:32.180 Fred and young Bob need to

01:15:33.760 Don't they

01:15:35.580 Okay

01:15:36.420 X Luke

01:15:40.200 Is that how you say it?

01:15:41.860 X Luke says

01:15:42.400 Why is no one talking about the rape gang inquiry?

01:15:45.660 Oh well you know

01:15:46.340 So I guess you sent that in before

01:15:47.780 But I did

01:15:48.440 I mentioned it

01:15:49.120 Had the link there and everything

01:15:50.440 But I haven't had time to actually read it

01:15:52.400 As I say it's over 200 pages

01:15:53.960 So it's going to take your time to read it

01:15:55.860 Realistically I'll probably talk about it in detail

01:15:59.120 For you on Monday

01:16:00.260 Realistically

01:16:01.040 So there you go

01:16:03.700 maybe you're asking why is no one like in the corporate mainstream media talking about

01:16:08.200 i did see an article on the express the mail on the express a brief one yesterday just saying

01:16:14.820 it's been published but there was no more than that it certainly wasn't all in the front pages

01:16:20.000 today was it it wasn't at the top of any of the main websites they're going to try and largely

01:16:28.740 ignore it aren't they they're going to try and largely memory hole it if they can yeah

01:16:32.860 because I believe the conclusions are very, very damning.

01:16:42.160 Okay, Amazing Disgrace 911 says,

01:16:44.880 Who farted? Seriously, show some decency.

01:16:50.900 I don't know what that's in reference to, but okay, all right, fair enough, quite funny.

01:16:56.200 Okay, all right, well, that's the show.
