00:00:00.000
you're right I hope you are genuinely fighting fit bright-eyed and bushy-tailed rocking and
00:00:17.400
rearing for the day ahead I am joined by my producer little Harry how are you good sir
00:00:22.980
good good it has just ticked past eight in the a.m. Greenwich Mean Time on Wednesday the 18th of
00:00:31.620
February in the year of our Lord 2026 you are the glorious band the chosen few my band of brothers
00:00:37.300
let's see what's in the news today shall we should we see what the corporate mainstream
00:00:42.240
media is banging on about what that cabal of evil editors on Fleet Street trying to pretend
00:00:47.760
is important to you let's just get straight into it then so we've got pressure piles on Andrew so it's
00:00:56.100
another Andrew day not not wall-to-wall but nearly once again no real talk of the Israeli intelligence
00:01:04.480
connections to Epstein just that Andrew might have used prostitutes okay pressure piles on Andrew
00:01:13.620
and Jesse Jackson dies at 84 Jesse Jackson we'll get to that all right the eye paper
00:01:23.460
third police force examines Andrew's links to Epstein as PM's threat and inquiry another paper
00:01:32.240
further down I think it's the next one even says it's like 11 police forces anyway let's read the
00:01:36.660
little blurb on our paper because the little blurb on the eye paper is usually for the British print
00:01:42.160
media usually isn't too bad it's usually fairly reasonable with fairly even-handed usually
00:01:48.820
right let's read it so it says just straight up facts usually you know Essex police assessing flight
00:01:55.160
logs it's very small for me um and emails for Epstein's Lolita Express Stansted's airport that's in
00:02:02.720
Essex isn't it Stansted anyway uh private terminal amid allegations that women were flown in and out of the
00:02:11.920
country cross-party MPs consider whether to open an investigation into Andrew's work as a UK trade
00:02:17.860
envoy I thought they were just doing it just I thought that was decided already okay uh after documents
00:02:24.900
in the Epstein files appear to show him sharing confidential reports it doesn't appear to it does
00:02:29.960
it does show it whether that's true or not but don't say it appears to it does it's weird when they say
00:02:35.080
don't they like even the BBC reporting on their own panorama show about lying about Trump on uh
00:02:42.880
January the 6th for example a panorama it appears to show this edit no it just does it just does why
00:02:48.660
are you saying that all right uh Mountbatten Windsor i.e Andrew Saxe-Coburg and Gotha could be hauled in front
00:02:56.900
of MPs for a grilling over the over his relationship with the pedophile billionaire as committee chair
00:03:04.120
Liam Bryn warns nothing is off the table it's like when the Pentagon are asked will they drop a nuclear bomb
00:03:12.040
on someone nuclear bomb on someone they were saying nothing's off the table nothing's off the table
00:03:17.740
okay Liam Bryn all right so Andrew's still in hot water and I think the investigations on him
00:03:26.540
from multiple angles are going to just keep going so um as I understand it at this moment in time as
00:03:34.720
at recording the morning of the 18th of Feb 26 he still maintains he hasn't done anything wrong
00:03:44.200
let alone the dozens hundreds maybe thousands is it of other women who knows some accounts say he
00:03:53.100
just had all different women all the time over many many many many years so it'd probably be hundreds
00:03:58.720
maybe in the low thousands god knows who knows he doesn't he maintains that he hasn't done anything
00:04:05.080
wrong that there's nothing to that that's not true that's not real he's just just silent on it isn't
00:04:09.300
it Emily Maitlis didn't ask him much about all those women in his car crash interview and since
00:04:13.880
then it's just zip there's nothing so will he ever be forced to I wonder if Andrew will be ever forced
00:04:23.060
one way or another in public like in the dock to answer questions about everything about how he
00:04:30.460
conducted most of his adult life basically and even if he did would he would he do that thing if I just
00:04:36.780
don't remember like did you have this this Russian stripper come and stay in Buckingham Palace on this
00:04:43.240
date that's very well documented like you definitely did did you and he's just like I don't recall
00:05:00.780
it's hubris he was a man who thought he could do anything and get away with it endlessly
00:05:07.080
okay the son or is that Emily Atak is still not as fat as she used to be that's news
00:05:16.060
all right pressure ramps up on Andrew see it's an Andrew day they've decided
00:05:21.040
they got together I don't know if they're in a little whatsapp or telegram message and thing or
00:05:25.780
whatever or they're all boomers it's probably Facebook tomorrow guys let's all go with Andrew
00:05:30.780
again the cabal of Fleet Street editors I'm talking about hey guys let's all go with Andrew again
00:05:37.520
tomorrow right make sure you don't say anything about Ehud Barak right or Larry Summers
00:05:50.140
seven UK forces on Epstein case seven Lolita flight logs checked cops in Andy sex probe why do you why
00:06:06.600
do they write like that cops in Andy sex probe what terrible why do they do it
00:06:13.780
it's only a convention they made up right to write like that to write in that with that sort of cadence
00:06:21.280
that sort of use of English cops in Andy sex probe get gross all right the Daily Mail pretending it's trying
00:06:33.220
trying desperately pretend it's not complete slop
00:06:43.780
trying to hide it behind a tiny bit of red meat from time to time
00:06:47.040
pressure piles on Andrew as fourth police force probes Epstein claims
00:06:52.260
Essex officers to examine whether paedophile traffic women on private jet interstands did
00:06:57.200
something about Gordon Ramsay there I don't like Gordon Ramsay I don't hate his guts but quite a lot of people like
00:07:04.700
him think he's good he's interesting he's cool I don't like him I think he's a bully
00:07:08.800
like if he tried to shout at me in my face I'd just be in a fight with him like he just shouts in people's faces
00:07:21.700
there's one time he was in I love this there's one time he was in a charity football match he's good at football
00:07:26.200
as a young man I think he could have gone pro maybe he's good at football
00:07:29.200
anyway sometimes there's often there's like charity matches aren't there where there's like a mixture of celebrities and
00:07:35.700
ex-football players and Teddy Sheringham broke his leg it was brilliant
00:07:40.700
Teddy Sheringham just clatters into him and fractures his leg lovely good old Teddy Sheringham
00:08:02.700
the Guardian look there's disgusting Jesse Jackson there he has died at age 84 finally
00:08:09.700
one in nine new homes built in areas of flood risk yeah not a great idea is it
00:08:16.700
although most of Britain is at flood or not most but big big big chunks of Britain are at risk of being flooded if it rains too much right
00:08:25.700
but I've always thought that it's easy to say isn't it when it doesn't really affect you
00:08:29.700
if you don't live near a volcano or in the middle of tornado alley or on a flood plain
00:08:34.700
it's easy to go don't live there then don't build a house there then
00:08:37.700
because I've always or rather I've never lived in those places I've always been
00:08:42.700
why did you buy a house why did you build a house on the slopes of a volcano or on a flood plain
00:08:49.700
um in the middle of where tornadoes go every single year don't live there don't do that
00:08:56.700
I mean this is actually an attempt at sympathy for those people
00:09:00.700
it's easier said and done to just say that isn't it
00:09:03.700
what if you're financially tired there friends and family all sorts of things
00:09:10.700
I actually maintain that just don't live there move
00:09:38.700
over the last day or whatever since he passed away
00:09:51.700
don't worry about any of the crimes or misdemeanors of Martin Luther King
00:10:00.700
he was just a brilliant brilliant person on every single level
00:10:07.700
I think he was a pretty terrible person to be quite honest
00:10:10.700
I think he was a champion of grievance politics
00:11:26.700
which is the vast majority of Jesse Jackson's life and career
00:11:38.700
so anything after the LBJ civil rights legislation
00:11:56.700
not to mention all the cities that were burnt down
00:11:59.700
because some random black guy took a fentanyl overdose
00:14:47.700
so actually unemployment is way higher than that
00:14:55.700
millions are crying out for reward of hard work
00:15:00.700
millions are crying out for reward of hard work
00:15:03.700
anyway we get the idea what they're trying what they're attempting to express
00:15:39.700
like work worked in the kitchens of a Wetherspoons once
00:15:52.700
you're just hoping you can catch a break out there
00:16:30.700
is you've got to throw a lot of muck at the wall
00:16:42.700
but get used to applying for loads and loads of jobs
00:16:47.700
they don't even give you the courtesy of giving you a no
00:16:54.700
you've got to fill out the same thing on application forms
00:17:21.700
but when there's an actual window of unemployment
00:17:58.700
get a spreadsheet with all your information on it
00:18:07.700
get it in a spreadsheet so you can cut and paste easily
00:19:15.700
I went for a job that was like over my head basically
00:19:32.700
give the impression that you know what you're talking about right
00:19:47.700
the job was a bit more difficult than what I was capable of doing
00:19:50.700
there were certain skills, certain knowledge that you would need
00:20:04.700
it was just at the end of that probation period
00:20:09.700
and they're like yeah we're not going to go forward with the
00:20:52.700
and you've only got like one or two sentences of it
00:20:58.700
ridiculously long spiel of sentence to sentence to sentence
00:21:05.700
just be honest that you don't speak their language
00:22:03.700
a Russian who named Kremlin's nerve agent assassins
00:22:42.700
but they're probably unlikely to do the same thing again
00:22:45.700
to know you're actually on a Kremlin death list
00:23:17.700
I imagine the people that were sent to kill Litvinenko
00:23:40.700
they'll probably not do the door handle thing again
00:25:56.700
we'll have pyrotechnics and sparklers and confetti
00:26:55.700
but that's what you get nearly always isn't it?
00:27:17.700
he's still completely phony as far as I'm concerned
00:28:09.700
haven't you got to go over to Ukraine again, Richard?
00:28:18.700
how being British is just to do with cricket and cups of tea again, Richard
00:28:32.700
sort of Yugoslavians, South Africans, Zimbabwee-style nightmare
