00:00:09.300 I very much and sincerely hope that you are.

00:00:13.340 Me? Oh, I'm fine, yeah. Same old, same old.

00:00:18.140 Alright, it is Wednesday, isn't it?

00:00:21.020 I believe it is. It's Wednesday the 18th of March in the year of our Lord, 2026.

00:00:26.680 You're the glorious band, the chosen few.

00:00:28.400 the very very best among us my band of brothers and sisters i'm joined by my producer little

00:00:37.420 harry how are you this morning good sir morning great should we just jump straight into it

00:00:42.740 should just get straight into what the corporate mainstream media are banging on about this

00:00:47.460 morning all right here we bow first cracks in trump camp over iran war and us tackles meningitis

00:00:57.900 outbreak so he's going on and on about meningitis again and Iran third day in a row

00:01:05.020 all right ever so slightly different data points maybe i'll whip through the front pages a little

00:01:10.060 quicker than usual today a little bit because tiny bit groundhog and in the uh on the actual

00:01:18.540 websites there's more interesting more diverse stories all right now financial times

00:01:24.620 trump camp shows first cracks over iran war as counter-terror chief quits

00:01:30.560 yeah so i thought this was interesting very interesting in fact it sort of backs up my take

00:01:37.340 i've had about it a bit a guy called joe kent i'd never heard of him until yesterday but he is he

00:01:45.320 was a very important person he was head of all counter-terrorism in the united states he was

00:01:52.700 An important guy

00:01:54.320 Like he was

00:01:55.080 He'd been in the special forces

00:01:57.020 He said he'd like been deployed

00:01:59.260 Like 11 times or something

00:02:01.480 Was that right?

00:02:03.940 Something like that

00:02:04.680 He'd seen a load of combat and action

00:02:06.160 With actual special forces

00:02:07.580 So okay

00:02:10.580 And then after his special forces career

00:02:12.280 He was in the CIA

00:02:13.240 Like a senior CIA dude

00:02:15.820 And you know that

00:02:16.920 If you're a senior CIA dude

00:02:18.520 That was before that

00:02:19.760 A special forces guy

00:02:20.820 not just an analyst then it means you were doing serious things you're not just sitting at a desk

00:02:28.560 in langley you're probably out there doing stuff a bit of a badass individual okay and then um

00:02:35.680 and then sadly his wife was also involved in that world in some way i don't know exactly but

00:02:42.100 she was very unfortunately killed in like 2018 or 2019 in some suicide bombing in syria

00:02:48.860 Okay

00:02:50.640 And then

00:02:53.180 Trump picked him

00:02:54.820 Because the role of being like the head of

00:02:56.460 There's a counter-terrorism centre

00:02:58.680 Or something

00:03:00.580 And he was the director of that

00:03:04.040 He only answered to

00:03:05.640 Like Homeland Security

00:03:07.280 Or Tom C. Gabbard

00:03:08.620 That was it

00:03:09.640 Oh and the president of course

00:03:10.960 So super super senior important dude

00:03:12.900 And head of counter-terrorism as well

00:03:16.260 So he should know

00:03:18.300 Would know what he's talking about

00:03:20.660 Democrats hated him

00:03:22.280 Because he was sort of quite based

00:03:23.420 Apparently he'd said

00:03:24.680 Apparently he'd said a few things

00:03:26.660 About the Proud Boys

00:03:27.700 How the Proud Boys were called

00:03:28.860 Or something

00:03:29.340 Or refused to disavow the Proud Boys

00:03:31.900 Something like that

00:03:33.600 And he'd had quite a few based takes

00:03:35.800 Quite a few

00:03:36.580 And okay

00:03:40.240 But he was a Trump pick

00:03:43.500 And he wrote an open letter

00:03:46.220 Like yesterday

00:03:46.860 Or maybe it might have been right

00:03:48.040 the end of the day on monday but he wrote an open letter resigning and he said in it

00:03:56.360 that this whole war is just israel's war and it's got nothing to do with america it's not

00:04:02.200 in america's interest in any way to be involved in it there was no threat it was a liar the idea 0.52

00:04:07.320 that iran was close to getting a nuke that was a liar like the jewish lobby the israeli lobby 0.89

00:04:14.520 somehow put Trump in some sort of bubble 0.94

00:04:17.720 in a sense

00:04:19.740 manipulated him into thinking that was true

00:04:23.380 and it's not

00:04:24.920 that's a lie

00:04:25.960 and

00:04:27.780 Trump was much better when he was truly

00:04:30.780 the never

00:04:32.660 forever war guy

00:04:34.380 and like what happened to you bro

00:04:36.560 when did you stop being the

00:04:38.260 the never forever war

00:04:41.020 guy

00:04:42.340 you know

00:04:43.280 Yeah, and in this open letter

00:04:47.060 I mean, because yesterday

00:04:47.840 I said, didn't I

00:04:51.000 Let's not call it the oil war

00:04:53.440 Let's just call it Bibby's war 1.00

00:04:54.680 Well, that's sort of what this guy was saying

00:04:56.980 The head of US counterintelligence

00:04:58.860 That's basically what he was saying

00:04:59.640 It's like, this is not in our national

00:05:02.120 The US, the national interest in any way

00:05:04.140 We shouldn't send a single 1.00

00:05:05.760 US boy out there to get killed

00:05:08.600 It's not in our financial interest

00:05:11.380 yeah it was all just based on a lie so like reverse course he said as if trump's going to do

00:05:19.800 that but you know it's not just some random guy it's the head of counterintelligence all right

00:05:26.820 so i think you get the idea no imminent threat says kent that's joe kent that's the guy we've

00:05:32.280 just been talking about no imminent threat from iran we didn't they didn't need to go to war at

00:05:37.960 this point he argues and isn't he in a position to know really not just me not someone like me

00:05:47.760 paid attention to news for like 35 odd years and a student of history an armchair historian

00:05:55.560 so perhaps know a little bit more than the absolute average man on the street but not

00:06:01.700 much more than that really he actually knows right he actually has the intelligence the

00:06:07.940 military grade intelligence so he should know right all right pro-israeli lobby blamed by

00:06:17.940 this joe kent head of counter-terrorism for all of the united states it's bibi's war 0.83

00:06:24.260 Tehran security head claimed killed

00:06:29.740 Dodging English, but there you go

00:06:31.560 Yeah, and another bit of news on the sort of Iran front

00:06:35.840 Is that one of the most senior people in the Iranian security apparatus

00:06:41.180 Has been killed

00:06:43.900 And the Iranians themselves have confirmed that he was in fact killed

00:06:47.020 In an airstrike

00:06:47.960 They're saying he's one of the most senior people

00:06:53.180 since that Saturday morning

00:06:55.660 when the Ayatollah, the old Ayatollah 0.88

00:06:57.960 was

00:06:58.160 blown to smithereens

00:07:00.900 it's my senior person they've managed to murder since then

00:07:03.720 ok

00:07:04.660 what else have we got

00:07:07.500 on the eye paper, we'll read the blurb on the eye paper

00:07:09.680 it's about the best you get isn't it

00:07:11.400 on the front pages of the British print media

00:07:13.700 ok

00:07:15.660 the headline is 0.86

00:07:16.500 your war on Iran is based on a liar

00:07:18.640 says Trump's security chief in an open letter to America

00:07:21.360 President launches new attack on allies

00:07:23.700 We don't need NATO, Trump saying

00:07:25.340 We don't need NATO

00:07:26.060 Come on, dude

00:07:30.620 One, I know you don't need NATO

00:07:33.380 Yeah, of course you don't

00:07:36.300 But that's

00:07:37.040 You call on NATO

00:07:39.960 They say no

00:07:40.920 And then you say we don't need you anyway

00:07:42.300 It's getting a real playground

00:07:44.360 Real playground stuff

00:07:45.700 It's like

00:07:47.480 You ever ask out a girl 0.99

00:07:50.320 She says no

00:07:51.580 And you go

00:07:52.540 I was joking

00:07:53.200 As if I was really asking you out

00:07:55.060 Come on

00:07:55.520 Yeah right

00:07:56.400 That was a joke

00:07:57.400 Desperate

00:08:04.720 And completely see through

00:08:06.160 NATO come and help us

00:08:10.540 No

00:08:10.740 Well we don't need you anywhere then

00:08:12.100 Okay

00:08:17.040 The blurb says

00:08:18.100 the director of the u.s uh national counterterrorism center quits saying iran posed

00:08:24.600 no imminent threat to our nation trump appointee joe kent claims israeli pressure quote deceived

00:08:31.360 president into taking military action and urges him to end war yeah in the open letter he sort of

00:08:36.840 said i remember the exact word in well obviously deceived there is in quotation marks and i'll

00:08:42.820 paraphrase here slightly but he said

00:08:44.020 he said something like Trump had been

00:08:46.660 manipulated or

00:08:48.360 again placed in some sort of

00:08:51.000 bubble or something where

00:08:52.400 he was made to think

00:08:54.620 somehow that Iran 0.94

00:08:56.720 was imminently going to get a

00:08:58.820 nuke

00:08:59.060 and that as far as he, Joe Kent

00:09:02.960 the head of counterintelligence was

00:09:04.780 concerned that just wasn't true

00:09:05.900 it just was not the case

00:09:07.780 so they

00:09:10.940 sort of

00:09:12.820 The Israeli pressure just sort of handled Trump, handled him, manipulated him, moved him into just the right headspace where they could say, we've got to do this now. And he's like, oh, yeah, yeah. 0.75

00:09:25.140 Benjamin Netanyahu hails killing of Iran's security chief Ali Larijani

00:09:36.480 widely seen as the country's de facto leader

00:09:39.720 saying it gives Iranians a chance to remove their leaders 1.00

00:09:43.560 we'll see a bit later where it's still not looking likely that the regime

00:09:49.320 despite all of this is crumbling

00:09:51.760 US presidents hit out at Europeans after nations turned down his request to help protect key shipping lane.

00:10:00.020 Yeah, so just as I said yesterday, same story as yesterday, isn't it?

00:10:04.080 Certainly Germany and the UK and NATO saying, no thanks.

00:10:11.420 That's all on you, that's all on you.

00:10:13.840 Macron might be a bit different.

00:10:15.700 Although Macron at the moment, remember about a week ago or at some point last week,

00:10:20.680 macron was really gung-ho about it i'll send in the aircraft carriers i'll do this i'll do that

00:10:25.720 i'll protect cyprus let us open the straits of hormones now it seems according to reports things

00:10:33.080 change day by day don't they in this war in all wars but now he seems a little less a tiny bit

00:10:38.840 more dovishness about it is not he's not absolutely breaking his neck to send the french navy into

00:10:44.680 the straits of hormuz suddenly because it is extremely dangerous at this moment in time

00:10:51.960 okay um but yeah there's a thing um the the israelis claim they've or say they have killed

00:10:58.280 this uh ali larryjani well he is there because the iranians have confirmed he is dead and that

00:11:04.200 he was some sort of de facto leader in iran super super super senior one of the most senior people

00:11:09.080 it seems, in the country

00:11:10.720 that they got him

00:11:13.780 and then, as it says there

00:11:17.200 Neti wants Iranians 1.00

00:11:21.140 it's a chance to remove their leaders

00:11:23.240 Neti urges 0.94

00:11:25.080 well, if we quickly jump across to

00:11:28.580 I think it was the Washington Post, was it?

00:11:31.060 the Washington Post, right

00:11:32.200 this headline in the Washington Post

00:11:34.800 Israel urges Iranians to revolt

00:11:37.480 but privately

00:11:39.540 assesses they'll be slaughtered 0.66

00:11:41.240 oh 0.98

00:11:41.500 oh

00:11:42.620 oh

00:11:45.940 isn't Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli's 0.85

00:11:57.700 intention to

00:11:58.660 it's actually their goal

00:12:00.460 to turn Iran into 0.99

00:12:02.780 2004-2005

00:12:05.600 era iraqi hellhole sectarian nightmare style got no intention don't care they don't got no intention 0.79

00:12:15.200 of letting persia getting persia a decent government in a working civil society

00:12:24.320 that was never the goal was it why would you urge people to revolt but

00:12:28.560 know that they would be slaughtered

00:12:29.920 Israeli officials told US counterparts

00:12:34.320 they hoped for an uprising

00:12:35.400 even though it would lead to a massacre

00:12:37.280 according to a State Department cable

00:12:40.160 reviewed by the Post

00:12:41.340 nice, that's nice isn't it

00:12:44.660 alright

00:12:51.380 there's a picture of Mr Kent there

00:12:55.620 alright

00:12:57.880 The Mirror

00:13:00.420 There's

00:13:02.180 The Princess of Wales

00:13:04.560 Looking radiant as ever

00:13:07.340 It was St Paddy's Day yesterday

00:13:09.640 So she wears green

00:13:11.540 And goes and visits

00:13:13.360 The Irish Guards

00:13:16.220 The Mirror

00:13:21.000 Middle East War fallout

00:13:22.840 Britain hit by a Trumpflation

00:13:25.120 The Mirror

00:13:27.880 They say households now face £1,300 Bill Ryer's shock.

00:13:36.080 Yeah, I mean, this thing won't help inflation, will it?

00:13:40.560 There's no two ways about that.

00:13:42.580 The Telegraph, the Toregraph, the Donald, looking kind of orange, looking particularly orange there.

00:13:48.920 I don't know if it's a filter they've got on it, but...

00:13:51.620 Okay, he said that Keir, again, that Keir Starmer is no Churchill.

00:14:01.160 Yeah, tell us about it. Tell us about it.

00:14:04.620 He's an extremely timid man and politician, isn't he, Starmer?

00:14:13.040 That is one thing for all his mistakes and errors and misjudgments and everything else about Churchill.

00:14:19.640 For better or worse

00:14:22.500 I would argue worse

00:14:23.620 But for better or worse

00:14:24.540 Churchill wasn't timid

00:14:25.660 It's like being a timid driver

00:14:30.080 It's almost worse than being overly aggressive

00:14:32.180 Almost sometimes

00:14:33.280 It's like a timid driver

00:14:35.380 That causes accidents

00:14:36.600 And is a real worry

00:14:38.580 When you're dealing with something like that

00:14:42.460 When you've got a tiger by the horns

00:14:43.820 A tiger by the ears

00:14:46.700 Or a bull by the horns

00:14:47.960 got a tiger by the horns um yeah when you're in that sort of situation it's not good to be timid

00:14:55.420 all right anyway trump said it again it's like what the third at least time

00:15:00.160 he's just said that he also said trump says bbc is against me winning iran war yeah the bbc

00:15:07.360 despise you the donald dear donald trump yep the bbc despise you i mean you're taking them to court

00:15:16.960 and claiming billions from them which would completely destroy them and good luck to you on

00:15:22.380 that one as long as it doesn't come out of his majesty's treasury i would love the donald to

00:15:31.660 win that case against the bbc and a judge to rule that the bbc has to give him personally

00:15:38.880 like billions of dollars is billions

00:15:43.280 It would ruin the BBC

00:15:48.420 The BBC may well have to just sell all its assets

00:15:50.480 And just completely close

00:15:52.640 And not be a thing anymore

00:15:53.640 That would be good, yes please

00:15:55.320 As long as the money doesn't come out of

00:15:57.660 The actual treasury

00:15:59.840 In which case

00:16:05.520 That would become a bit annoying

00:16:08.040 The government just bailed them out

00:16:10.420 And the BBC just continued

00:16:11.480 And Trump's just taking loads of our money

00:16:14.580 Because I don't pay my licence fee

00:16:17.660 I haven't done in a while

00:16:19.140 Oh no, no, no 0.99

00:17:04.180 The propaganda wing

00:17:07.700 Of the establishment

00:17:09.140 Of the establishment which is ruining us

00:17:13.920 By foreign criminals and sex criminals 1.00

00:17:16.480 The BBC's auntie is a complete and utter evil witch 1.00

00:17:22.040 It's an extortion racket as well 0.99

00:17:26.320 Forcing people to pay

00:17:27.560 Trying to bully and coerce people

00:17:30.120 Into paying their licence fee

00:17:31.740 It's what you call

00:17:33.320 You're calling it a licence fee

00:17:34.680 Is it?

00:17:36.380 Or is it just an extortion racket?

00:17:39.140 To just bully money out of credulous people 0.96

00:17:43.200 The BBC

00:17:45.360 Maybe, maybe at most

00:17:49.120 Let it survive on its own

00:17:50.560 Get rid of the

00:17:51.980 Get rid of the

00:17:52.920 Abolish the licence fee

00:17:54.960 So called licence fee

00:17:55.880 Let it stand on its own like any other business

00:17:58.580 Let's see how well it does

00:17:59.580 That they would

00:18:03.520 They despise someone

00:18:05.140 Like Donald Trump

00:18:08.000 whose nationalism is paper thin really isn't it he's not a proper he's not a true nationalist is

00:18:16.700 he trump but even the thing of just saying america first just saying it that's too much

00:18:24.060 for the globalist bbc he's their enemy and they'll try and destroy like they'll make a

00:18:29.060 panorama program completely lie about him misrepresent what he does and says

00:18:33.700 Because what?

00:18:37.360 Because he's not in the same

00:18:38.700 Social circles

00:18:41.000 As

00:18:41.600 The people they like

00:18:44.000 Like Hillary Clinton and the Podestas

00:18:46.360 Trump's not in the Hillary Clinton and Podesta circle

00:18:49.940 Therefore the BBC hate him 0.97

00:18:52.480 Yeah the BBC's filth 0.99

00:18:54.020 Absolute filth 0.99

00:18:55.420 It really is a blight on our society

00:19:00.500 I would end it

00:19:03.700 In Bose Britain

00:19:05.040 If I was Lord Protector

00:19:06.100 I would end its Royal Charter

00:19:08.600 As quickly as possible

00:19:09.560 If possible, immediately

00:19:10.720 Sort of on day one

00:19:12.720 Rip that up

00:19:13.420 If that's how it works

00:19:14.340 Remove all funding for them

00:19:20.100 Let them stand on their own two feet

00:19:22.420 See how they do

00:19:23.700 Good luck to Trump

00:19:27.240 In his civil case against them

00:19:30.060 Labour is running out of time

00:19:34.120 says Angela the Fridge Rainer

00:19:35.840 she doesn't know what she's talking about

00:19:37.560 she's got no political sense whatsoever 1.00

00:19:41.360 no sense at all

00:19:43.400 beret doesn't make me a bomber

00:19:45.420 says Gerry Adams

00:19:46.540 that was one of Gerry Adams' arguments

00:19:49.420 they showed a picture of him wearing a black beret

00:19:51.160 like an IRA beret

00:19:52.360 picture back from like the 70s or whatever

00:19:54.460 it's like that doesn't mean anything

00:19:56.540 Benny Hill wears a beret

00:19:58.360 oh good argument good argument that other people wear berets oh oh well don't worry about it then

00:20:08.520 oh well that's just that's slam dunk that means jerry adams definitely wasn't in the ra then

00:20:13.380 that other people wear berets sometimes

00:20:15.900 okay the guardian

00:20:20.420 bit rough bit rough all right the guardian

00:20:26.860 it's quite a funny front page on the guardian today first of all iran nuclear deal had been

00:20:38.220 within reach before conflict no it wasn't why are you lying about that why are you lying about that

00:20:43.000 no it wasn't the iranians might have been saying that but it just wasn't was it

00:20:47.820 i don't think kushner and witkoff and trump and rubio and hegseth are lying about the fact that

00:20:56.740 the iranians will just constantly say let's talk about a nuclear deal they'll just constantly do

00:21:05.320 and say that until they got one that was that is true i don't think that's just like one of

00:21:11.900 netanyahu's fever dreams i think that is true and so you get like i don't know guardianistas

00:21:18.820 you get some anti-war boomer outside an raf base holding up a

00:21:25.660 a placard saying make peace not war or something they're saying a nuclear deal was close to it no 0.99

00:21:33.140 it wasn't no it wasn't come on don't be an idiot of course the iranians were just saying whatever 1.00

00:21:40.700 they needed to say to just keep the negotiations going endlessly until they got a bomb 1.00

00:21:44.680 but that's the guardian for you isn't it that's the guardian for you anything that puts us the

00:21:54.980 west the anglosphere in danger anything that's not in our interest that's what the guardian

00:22:01.560 will argue for and do won't they here's an interesting thing about nigel 0.98

00:22:10.120 so i and on the lotus eaters quite often will criticize nigel and reform from the right 0.71

00:22:16.360 basically right we're we're restore effectively even restore don't go far enough for me in a

00:22:23.720 fair few cases but nonetheless

00:22:25.240 I won't label the point

00:22:29.160 But Nigel Farge is a containment project

00:22:30.860 As far as I can tell

00:22:32.060 That's my opinion

00:22:33.180 He's the Tories 2.0

00:22:35.860 He's an establishment shield

00:22:37.520 Okay, we attack them from the right

00:22:40.560 A bit

00:22:41.760 The Guardian of course would attack

00:22:44.840 Nearly all the mainstream media

00:22:46.700 Would attack Nigel from the left though

00:22:48.420 Wouldn't they?

00:22:49.680 So, poor old Nigel

00:22:51.520 Stuck in the middle

00:22:52.520 stuck in the middle with nige so what here's a story 1.00

00:22:57.340 there's a website called cameo for anyone who doesn't know this just so you know there's a

00:23:03.720 website called cameo and if you're famous you're an influencer or you're just famous in some way

00:23:07.600 you've got any sort of following um you can go on this app cameo and people will send in something

00:23:15.760 they want you to say and some money and so for a little bit of money you read out the thing they

00:23:23.820 want you to say just that really so if you're penny pinching enough and shameless enough

00:23:35.300 then you can get random people off the internet to pay you 50 quid 70 quid

00:23:41.520 whatever hundred quid to say some random thing they want you to say like like usually it would

00:23:48.980 be you know things like just say happy birthday to my nan or something you know something completely

00:23:54.900 harmless but then they might fool you and get you to say something bad or that's bad or embarrassing

00:24:00.560 for you of course so for some reason the honorable nigel farage mp has been on cameo for quite a

00:24:13.260 while he's made thousands of videos he's made 4 000 odd videos on cameo

00:24:19.280 is it worth it i covered this once before on state of politics state of politics

00:24:25.780 my other channel with nate mr h reviews and nate did a little bit of digging and found out that

00:24:32.380 nigel wouldn't even have made all that much money it would be in like the low thousands

00:24:36.840 10 000 20 000 pounds something like that so it's not nothing but nigel's already a rich man i don't 0.99

00:24:42.400 know exactly nigel's personal finances but he's not poor i think he makes well over a million

00:24:47.760 quid a year just from gb news i think he's like the most highly paid dude on gb news alone

00:24:53.700 that's being an mp it's like what 70 grand isn't it 100 grand i don't know plus he already wasn't

00:25:00.480 poor so the point is i don't know how much money nigel's really got the state of his personal 0.76

00:25:04.980 finances but he's not poor he doesn't need an extra 10 grand doesn't need it if it comes at

00:25:11.220 the expense of like your reputation it comes at the expense maybe of like um your your your gravitas

00:25:19.220 so people have got him to say all sorts of sort of embarrassing cringeworthy things i've seen a

00:25:27.960 few before i have never been on cameo in my life i've never clicked on cameo in my life

00:25:32.300 i've got no intention of doing it but every now and again something will appear on like my twitter

00:25:36.280 timeline or something like this it'll be on the actual news and i've seen just through that i've

00:25:42.180 seen at least four or five or six cases of nigel saying something really silly and or just 0.95

00:25:47.460 embarrassing to camera to his phone they've got him to say something like the other day yesterday

00:25:53.060 he i saw him it was about it was it was an ira slogan they got him to say

00:25:59.060 um now i guess nigel farage is thinking i don't know i don't really know what he's thinking is

00:26:11.980 other than oh i can get a few couple of grand here

00:26:14.540 At the expense of

00:26:20.140 Being taken seriously

00:26:21.380 It's like a statesman

00:26:22.740 An international statesman

00:26:24.040 You've got clips out there

00:26:26.080 Where you're saying

00:26:26.580 All sorts of cringey things

00:26:28.220 Alright well

00:26:29.860 Well Harry

00:26:34.360 Harry

00:26:35.600 Yeah

00:26:36.240 You

00:26:37.240 Well I just said

00:26:38.780 I've never been on Cameo

00:26:39.980 I've got no intention

00:26:40.800 Of ever going on Cameo

00:26:41.580 But

00:26:42.000 This morning I asked you about

00:26:43.480 And you said you have

00:26:44.300 or you've watched them or you see yeah i mean i i see so i see a lot of them um okay he kind of like

00:26:53.180 targets the gen z sort of audience by using a bunch of like you know weird gen z words

00:27:03.260 but he doesn't actually know the meaning of them so he'll just say the most horrendous things you 0.85

00:27:10.380 you can possibly think of really is it that bad sometimes yeah it is like pretty damn it if you

00:27:18.780 said what it actually meant it would be pretty damn it oh really nz sort of slang nobody really

00:27:26.540 picks it up sorry what you're saying there nz gen z oh gen z oh gen z slang all right okay sorry

00:27:33.900 this is okay got it so you go right they've they've said stuff and they've couched it in

00:27:37.900 the slang of Generation Z

00:27:39.920 and so he doesn't even really know

00:27:42.060 what exactly the meaning of what he's

00:27:43.960 actually saying, he just reads it out verbatim

00:27:45.820 Yeah, yeah, yeah

00:27:47.560 Oh, don't do that

00:27:52.340 Nigel, I'm a

00:27:55.960 I'm a restore Rupert guy

00:27:57.760 but Nigel, don't do that, please

00:27:59.480 I mean, for your own good, for the sake

00:28:02.060 of Britain, you might still be Prime Minister

00:28:03.920 Can you stop doing that, please, stop doing that

00:28:05.860 Don't do that

00:28:08.700 it's not that's not a good idea that's not a good look is it some of the worst stuff you're saying

00:28:15.260 like really embarrassing like uh there was one or so i can't remember exactly what it says but

00:28:19.980 it was like sexual innuendo it was like really embarrassing sexual innuendo was it yeah yeah a

00:28:25.740 lot of the time oh oof that's not worth the money nudge that's not worth like the 70 quid someone

00:28:34.700 sent you to do that or whatever is it surely not surely not you don't need that odd 60 quid 80 quid

00:28:42.180 is that the sort of money people send in as in that ballpark right isn't it yes literally 71

00:28:48.760 pounds 14 pence right is that how is that worth it nigel surely not the guardian says that the 0.82

00:28:57.860 guardian has analyzed more than 4 000 paid for cameo videos reform leader says he has made clear

00:29:04.480 his opposition to extremism

00:29:06.600 oh yeah so

00:29:07.340 exclusive

00:29:08.660 Nigel backs rioter

00:29:10.700 and uses far right slogans

00:29:12.320 in video clips

00:29:13.220 he's just been

00:29:16.180 duped

00:29:17.380 because he's

00:29:18.540 what because he's so tight

00:29:20.640 because he

00:29:21.040 he cares about money

00:29:22.840 so his own money

00:29:23.680 so much that

00:29:24.500 he's been duped into saying

00:29:26.180 far right slogans or something

00:29:29.740 all sorts of

00:29:33.980 or just all sorts of embarrassing things yeah so i'm saying ira1 the other day that was on my

00:29:38.300 timeline like a day ago or two days ago somehow someone else posted it i was like oh that's not

00:29:44.700 that's not a good look i mean as i was about to say before i interrupted myself earlier

00:29:48.620 i feel like maybe in nigel's mind maybe he's thinking well i'm being paid to say this

00:29:56.140 whatever it whatever it is everyone knows i'm being paid to say this it's clearly that i'm

00:30:01.420 on cameo being paid to say this so so i've got carte blanche to say anything and it doesn't

00:30:08.620 reflect on me in any possible way because they're not really my words it's like an actor reading

00:30:13.940 a line it's not my line it's not my words effectively maybe he's thinking that and

00:30:21.520 although that's sort of true right they're not his words okay that's true but the point the point is

00:30:26.120 there's a clip of you just saying it and i know it's not fair right being taken out of context

00:30:30.980 is ball plop but you're choosing to do it though but you're it's but you're you're choosing to do

00:30:39.680 it for a small amount of money they can always get be taken out of context right you can say

00:30:47.360 someone else's words but slightly rephrase it in the first person and then it's just you saying

00:30:51.400 that thing i did something like that like it's really really easy to get taken out of context

00:30:56.620 the other day there was a headline wasn't there there's a headline and the headline was in the

00:31:02.660 first person where it said i gave andrew a massage and i read that i bodade on breakfast with bo read

00:31:10.700 that out i just said it again didn't i and so now there's just a clip of saying i gave andrew a

00:31:17.140 massage there you go there's a third time i did it right so in fact also yesterday when i was

00:31:21.700 talking about the ira and how they launched a mortar shell into number 10's back garden

00:31:30.180 or how they shot an rpg at the mi6 building and i phrased it in such a way where you could clip

00:31:36.880 that and it sort of looks like i am advocating for that it looks like i'm calling for someone

00:31:43.700 to do that someone clipped it and put it on twitter but it's it's funny though because

00:31:50.560 i'm not scared about about that if someone ever wanted to pick me up on that if the police ever

00:31:58.940 took me to a police station i'll just be what look at the full clip look at the context and

00:32:05.080 i'll be on my way thank you very much i've been taken out of context before when i was talking

00:32:09.500 about the Scots being a turd that wouldn't flush. And it was in the context of the early

00:32:19.800 14th century. It was in the context of the age of Edward I Longshanks. But I was very,

00:32:26.860 very deliberately taken out of context by Hope Not Hate and others, as though I thought

00:32:33.680 that about all Scots there you go it's a simple trick simple simple ridiculous really kind of a 1.00

00:32:42.320 ridiculous trick to take your words out of context but on the face of it it appears you're saying 0.98

00:32:48.840 something entirely different to what you're really saying okay that whole game is gross and low 0.99

00:32:54.940 but it is what it is

00:32:58.540 but then going on cameo

00:33:01.900 is something for me anyway

00:33:03.000 in my mind

00:33:03.400 it's something slightly different

00:33:04.420 to then deliberately go on cameo

00:33:07.380 and get paid a little bit of money

00:33:10.300 directly

00:33:11.140 to do that

00:33:13.700 to fall into that trap

00:33:14.900 you're deliberately

00:33:16.780 signing up

00:33:18.820 to fall into that trap

00:33:20.640 over and over and over again

00:33:21.600 for a little bit of money

00:33:24.060 all right nudge thing is you need to have very very very good judgment about all sorts of things

00:33:36.440 to be a leader to be the prime minister that's the ideal thing is that your judgment is good

00:33:42.600 not just a judge of character for the patronage you've got a handout but your judgment on

00:33:47.980 everything on world events on reality your judgment of reality needs to be rapier like

00:33:52.800 ideally to be prime minister right needs to be sharp as a razor

00:34:01.000 is nigel's judgment as sharp as a razor 0.97

00:34:05.660 really like the hypno toad boomer hypno toad who doesn't understand that reading out gen z slang

00:34:17.920 makes him look really bad embarrassingly bad it's not great judgment is it all right should we just

00:34:26.640 move on the daily mail the daily mail david beckham david beckham went to a hotel somewhere

00:34:33.120 in california i think in america where he knew brooklyn was staying to hopefully just sort of

00:34:37.940 bump into him and have a reproach more but but it didn't happen that's news now that's news

00:34:44.800 The meningitis thing, getting worse, okay

00:34:47.120 The sun, the meningitis thing

00:34:49.420 The star, the meningitis thing

00:34:52.440 The times, radiant Kate Middleton with the Irish Guards

00:34:57.740 The Irish Guards there

00:34:59.680 And the meningitis thing

00:35:02.800 The Daily Express, oh it's a good paper

00:35:05.020 Kate Middleton

00:35:05.780 And people are dying in hospital corridors without pain relief

00:35:10.180 Well yeah, if you have an NHS system

00:35:12.580 and flood the country with hundreds of thousands of new people

00:35:15.880 net year on year,

00:35:17.980 then the NHS is going to be over capacity, isn't it?

00:35:22.040 It's going to struggle to deal with that.

00:35:24.820 Oh, but don't worry about that.

00:35:27.180 Certainly can't talk about mass forced re-migration

00:35:30.420 because that would just be Nazi, wouldn't it?

00:35:32.320 You can't even put a cap on things.

00:35:34.160 You can't put a number on...

00:35:35.100 More safe and legal routes.

00:35:37.080 People are dying in hospital corridors without pain relief,

00:35:39.800 but more safe and legal routes.

00:35:42.580 Insane

00:35:46.740 The Metro

00:35:47.700 Harry

00:35:49.780 The Metro

00:35:55.940 Reeves bets on quantum leap

00:35:58.900 Oh boy

00:36:00.900 Says I'll boost economy

00:36:05.020 Bring jobs and end talent train

00:36:07.060 With world's first

00:36:08.160 Mass supercomputer rollout

00:36:10.720 She doesn't know what she's talking about does she

00:36:13.300 She's got no idea

00:36:15.580 What that is

00:36:16.900 What that means

00:36:17.700 But a quantum

00:36:20.700 A quantum supercomputer

00:36:21.880 A quantum computer

00:36:23.040 And look they've photoshopped the metro

00:36:26.440 Gone to the trouble

00:36:27.680 Of photoshopping

00:36:29.680 Rachel Thieves

00:36:31.300 Rachel from accounts 1.00

00:36:32.300 The idiot 1.00

00:36:34.400 Socialist Karen 1.00

00:36:36.980 That is somehow in number 11 Downing Street

00:36:39.580 they photoshopped her in with Dean Stockton

00:36:43.740 who if you're old enough you might recall

00:36:46.960 was in that show from the 80s or was it the 90s

00:36:50.380 Quantum Leap

00:36:51.880 with Scott Bakula

00:36:54.760 remember that Quantum Leap?

00:36:56.700 it's a good show, I really love Quantum Leap

00:36:58.580 Scott Bakula would always go, oh boy

00:37:03.200 so anyway, really old TV show

00:37:06.380 so

00:37:09.580 And Rachel Reeves mentioned supercomputers, so they've done it. I mean, it's...

00:37:16.580 All right.

00:37:22.580 Scopa-coo-la-zi-ba-dee-boo-la-bi-ba-dee-bo-ba-dee-boo. 0.99

00:37:27.580 All right, there are the front pages. Shall we, before we go on to the...

00:37:33.580 Before we go on to the... Harry, give my mouse back.

00:37:36.580 Before we go into the web sites, let's have a look at our poll.

00:37:39.400 What did we do on the poll today?

00:37:42.720 We said, we asked you guys,

00:37:46.040 is Nigel Farage's cameo cringe?

00:37:50.720 A cool 87% of you say yes.

00:37:57.120 We teed you up on that one though, didn't we?

00:37:59.480 We really just teed you up.

00:38:02.180 Teed you up on you guys.

00:38:05.360 Boom.

00:38:06.580 A homer.

00:38:09.700 We're talking softball.

00:38:12.780 From India, San Diego.

00:38:15.100 87%.

00:38:15.580 No, you said 3%.

00:38:17.340 Who are you guys?

00:38:18.580 You're saying it's not cringe?

00:38:23.140 Get out.

00:38:24.760 Get out.

00:38:25.360 You're not welcome here.

00:38:26.040 Who are you?

00:38:26.500 Who are you?

00:38:28.780 Don't go.

00:38:30.240 Don't go.

00:38:30.820 Stay here.

00:38:31.300 I still love you.

00:38:32.100 We can make this work.

00:38:32.780 Come on.

00:38:33.200 Come on, baby. 0.97

00:38:34.280 Come on, baby. 0.97

00:38:35.020 Don't leave me.

00:38:36.580 we can make this work, 3% said no though, oh and Harry put the third option is a bit,

00:38:44.260 and 10% say a bit, so that's really, 97%, 97% think it is cringe, at least a bit,

00:38:56.680 so that's overwhelming, Nigel, you won't watch this, if anyone in Nigel's orbit watches this,

00:39:04.100 or just anyone at Niaj on Twitter

00:39:07.640 and tell him 0.97

00:39:09.100 pretty much the whole world thinks your cameo is mental. 0.99

00:39:16.780 What you're doing on Cameo is mental, bro. 0.93

00:39:21.540 Why would you?

00:39:22.820 Why would he?

00:39:24.860 Surely it's not just for the little bit of money.

00:39:28.800 He's already rich.

00:39:29.920 It doesn't...

00:39:30.500 I don't get it.

00:39:31.500 It doesn't make sense to me

00:39:33.240 that Nigel's doing that with his time all right should we just move on if we

00:39:40.020 just move on all right the websites let's have a look Beirut Israel destroying 0.94

00:39:46.500 Beirut

00:39:50.000 yep oops oh sorry clicked on the wrong thing one second here we go didn't mean

00:39:59.740 click on that okay total repression and airstrikes bring unrelenting dread for Iranians yeah I can

00:40:07.580 imagine well it's just sort of can't really imagine I've never lived under a bombardment

00:40:12.700 or extreme repression until recently okay Higgs boson that's Peter Higgs a British man

00:40:24.300 the Higgs boson breakthrough was UK triumph but British physics faces catastrophic cuts

00:40:32.140 yeah Rainer warns immigration reforms risk being un-British

00:40:40.940 does it

00:40:44.700 wanting an immigration policy that doesn't lead to your demographic replacement is un-British is it

00:40:49.260 Have a look at this

00:40:52.140 Angela the Fridge Rayner

00:40:54.620 Warns immigration reforms risk being

00:40:56.880 Un-British 0.99

00:40:58.280 Angela Rayner has warned government proposals

00:41:00.180 To make it harder for migrants already in the UK

00:41:02.420 To settle permanently are

00:41:03.720 Un-British and a breach of trust 1.00

00:41:06.380 Whose trust?

00:41:08.720 Whose trust?

00:41:09.920 Whose trust are you putting first there?

00:41:13.340 We don't owe them anything

00:41:14.600 Why do we owe them anything?

00:41:17.160 It's not a breach of our trust

00:41:18.680 the natives to flood us with foreign with foreign people who may or may not have completely 0.96

00:41:25.280 antithetical views to us that's not a breach of trust no to facilitate an ongoing invasion

00:41:34.280 and ultimately possibly a demographic replacement locking in a sectarian bloodbath and nightmare 0.90

00:41:41.560 that's not a breach of trust between government and the natives no

00:41:46.640 right it would be un-british not to allow yourself to be invaded would it would it

00:41:56.040 ministers want to double the time it takes so still not really saving us in any way just just

00:42:02.440 double the time it takes for most migrant workers to qualify for permanent residence

00:42:07.380 from five years to ten years i mean it's nonsense that's clipping around the edges of things isn't

00:42:14.160 it that's no good that doesn't really help us we need remigration mass remigration millions must go 1.00

00:42:21.740 okay they want to make it take it takes from 10 years instead of five years to get a permanent

00:42:27.340 residence here not removing people just making it slightly longer before they can legally

00:42:34.520 permanently stay even that for the fridge is un-british and a breach of trust

00:42:41.940 A breach of trust

00:42:44.460 Mad, you don't hate these people enough

00:42:47.640 You might think you hate the Labour Party

00:42:50.240 And the globalists

00:42:52.600 No 1.00

00:42:54.300 They're insane, they're hell-bent 1.00

00:42:56.720 On destroying our society 0.99

00:42:59.720 Destroying us as a people, ultimately

00:43:01.840 I mean, it's genocidal, isn't it?

00:43:04.880 It's ethnocidal to flood us with millions of foreign people 1.00

00:43:08.320 To say that Englishness doesn't exist

00:43:11.920 Being English or British is just a state of mind 0.99

00:43:15.660 It's just some values

00:43:16.820 It's nothing more than that

00:43:18.320 There's no racial or ethnic element to being English

00:43:22.300 That's an insane 0.94

00:43:24.200 That's insane

00:43:25.440 Evil

00:43:26.000 Evil 1.00

00:43:26.560 But we're the evil racist bigots 0.99

00:43:30.560 For not wanting to be annihilated in our own ancestral homeland 0.99

00:43:33.960 Okay, okay

00:43:34.940 We're the un-British ones 1.00

00:43:37.020 the truly British thing to do according to Rayner is to allow yourself to be invaded

00:43:45.040 and annihilated ultimately that's the British thing to do is it is it Rayner's criticisms

00:43:55.120 sorry Rayner's criticism of the proposals come during a speech in which she also suggested

00:44:00.860 the public view Labour as having represented the establishment in the globalist establishment

00:44:06.680 In one of her most significant interventions

00:44:10.320 An intervention

00:44:11.420 An intervention

00:44:14.180 From the fridge

00:44:16.920 Yeah, sure

00:44:17.580 She spoke at the Mainstream Group

00:44:23.220 A centre-left organisation associated with labour

00:44:25.580 On the changes to immigration

00:44:27.760 She said there are people who now, quote

00:44:30.560 Fear for their future

00:44:31.860 Oh! 0.60

00:44:32.200 We've got to worry about

00:44:35.240 The new people

00:44:36.960 The new foreign invaders 1.00

00:44:38.140 We've got to worry about their fears for their future

00:44:40.720 They're in fear because the government keeps moving the goalposts

00:44:51.340 Oh you're worried about them

00:44:52.880 You're not worried about how the natives fear for their future

00:44:58.020 No

00:44:58.700 That would be

00:45:00.640 that would be in what what that would be neo-nazi to entertain the idea that natives fear for their

00:45:08.080 future that's just not computing in her head that the natives here might fear for their future you've

00:45:16.000 got to worry about the fears in the minds of the invaders she wants to be prime minister 1.00

00:45:30.640 it's absolutely insane absolutely insane these people history will judge them

00:45:36.340 harshly history will judge them harshly historians will look back on something

00:45:41.460 like that a piece of evidence literary evidence like that article and be

00:45:48.620 astounded like how far removed this late in the game somebody like Angela

00:45:56.700 Rainer is, they'll look back on it and they'll see the nightmare that happened to Europe,

00:46:03.900 Western Europe and Great Britain in, what, the 2040s probably, maybe, the 2050s maybe,

00:46:11.600 2060s, maybe even sooner than that. Half a century after that or a century or two after

00:46:18.040 that, they'll look back. They'll look back at the causes of what caused that sectarian 0.82

00:46:23.180 nightmare just like people look back what caused world war ii what caused world war one what led

00:46:29.000 up to the napoleonic era how did that happen how did that come about they'll look up to that and

00:46:33.060 and a historian will see something like this they'll see statements made by someone like

00:46:37.440 stella creasy or ed davy or whoever lisa nandy whatever people like politics joe or hope not

00:46:45.600 hate or whatever they're running me trust and i'll school like that from the fridge

00:46:50.000 And they'll say, look, there it is

00:46:52.980 There's the evidence

00:46:53.800 These people

00:46:54.980 Seemingly didn't realise they were playing with fire

00:47:00.660 These people were completely

00:47:02.820 Divorced from the reality

00:47:05.280 Of what was actually happening

00:47:06.760 The pressure cooker that they were sitting on top of

00:47:09.740 They seemed to have been oblivious

00:47:13.040 Whether deliberately or no

00:47:14.700 That's our history

00:47:19.120 will look back at this i'm afraid almost certainly all right there's a couple of things on the mail

00:47:27.520 oh netflix are just completely quote done with harry and megan just completely there's no question

00:47:33.600 that they're gonna sort of reignite any sort of deal with them it basically says that all harry

00:47:41.280 and megan have got is rehashing the story of how and why they left the royal family

00:47:47.120 And it's just that

00:47:48.620 That's all they are

00:47:50.340 That's all they've got

00:47:51.120 And there's only so many times

00:47:52.660 You can sort of rehash

00:47:53.900 Retell that story

00:47:55.660 And so Netflix are done with it

00:47:59.480 Yeah, obviously

00:48:01.660 Obviously

00:48:02.700 Here's a headline

00:48:03.720 British Muslims are five times more likely

00:48:05.900 To have a positive view of the Iranian regime

00:48:08.060 Than the general public

00:48:09.420 And are far more hostile to the US and Israel

00:48:12.360 Yeah, obviously

00:48:13.880 Obviously

00:48:15.260 Obviously so

00:48:16.840 The idea that Muslims would come here from Muslim countries 1.00

00:48:23.120 And the second they step foot on British soil

00:48:26.660 Have the world view and values of the average British native people

00:48:32.240 That is insane

00:48:35.520 To think that would happen

00:48:38.220 Oh, get them to support England in a cricket game

00:48:43.160 And drink tea

00:48:44.380 And everything's alright

00:48:46.820 They'll just be like us now 0.80

00:48:48.840 They are us now

00:48:50.640 They're more English than us now 0.99

00:48:53.840 Bizarre

00:48:57.680 Here's an article

00:48:59.680 The headline says

00:49:01.520 Racial tension

00:49:03.180 Little to no English

00:49:05.160 Polygamy

00:49:06.420 And the man who rules it all

00:49:08.960 As his personal republic

00:49:11.420 I've reported all over the world

00:49:13.580 But this is the corner of London

00:49:15.360 Where I felt thousands of miles from home

00:49:18.240 He's talking about Whitechapel

00:49:21.760 He's talking about the east end of London

00:49:23.960 Whitechapel

00:49:25.860 Which was historically a very working class quarter

00:49:29.440 Or historically in the 19th century

00:49:31.000 A Jewish quarter 0.98

00:49:31.720 But now it's completely and utterly

00:49:34.860 Captured by a Muslim community 1.00

00:49:37.400 And this guy says he's been all over the world

00:49:42.080 but in Whitechapel he feels thousands of miles from home yeah because it's a foreign enclave 1.00

00:49:48.960 it's entirely foreign enclave it really is you go there I've been there two three four times

00:49:55.620 over the last two three four years occasionally I would go there right been in the blind beggar 1.00

00:50:01.840 a bunch of times last time I went to Whitechapel was maybe a year ago 18 months ago something like

00:50:07.940 that, and, or that whole area, it's not just Whitechapel, it's like Bow, Bromley-by-Bow,

00:50:15.980 East End, West End, Plastow, Upton Park, whatever, Stratford, most of the East End, really,

00:50:23.640 most of the East, all the way out to Ilford and beyond, it's like you're in a foreign 0.99

00:50:28.860 country, and you're not welcome there, you walk down the road as a white person, like 1.00

00:50:33.520 in Whitechapel and you get really quite dirty looks like what are you doing here so this is

00:50:42.260 our this is our bit this is our bit of London what are you doing here all the shops of foreign 0.52

00:50:48.460 shops foreign writing in it Whitechapel you go but diversity is a strength any cap on migration

00:51:01.480 Is off the table

00:51:02.800 Let alone re-migration 1.00

00:51:03.880 More safe and legal routes

00:51:06.000 More safe and legal routes

00:51:07.440 One of the arguments

00:51:15.840 That needs to be overcome

00:51:16.600 First and foremost

00:51:17.240 Are psychos

00:51:18.980 That talk about

00:51:19.680 More safe and legal routes

00:51:21.080 When we talk about

00:51:22.360 The boat crisis

00:51:23.140 Just that

00:51:23.740 That's like

00:51:24.600 The tip of the iceberg

00:51:25.660 Is illegal immigration 0.96

00:51:27.080 The tip of

00:51:28.100 The tip of that iceberg

00:51:29.560 Is the boat people 0.99

00:51:30.740 And yet you talk about that

00:51:33.440 And they immediately pivot it

00:51:35.440 To more safe and legal routes

00:51:37.560 Insane

00:51:40.600 Insane, we're dealing with insane people

00:51:42.800 That mean to destroy us 0.94

00:51:44.540 Okay, Dubai

00:51:47.340 Dubai is getting hit all the time

00:51:49.700 And unless you pull an Andrew Tate

00:51:53.160 Unless you pretend it's not happening

00:51:55.240 And everything's fine

00:51:56.100 The Dubai authorities might even bang you up

00:51:59.060 Look, what life's really like in war-torn Dubai, the glittering tax-free influence of

00:52:06.060 fantasy is unravelling as expats are arrested and treated as criminals for simply taking

00:52:11.600 a photo of drone damage and sending to worried relatives.

00:52:17.680 So your options are just keep shtum about it, or pretend everything's fine, like Andrew

00:52:22.560 Tate did. You can't tell the truth. You might get in trouble. Okay. Is there one other story

00:52:32.640 of mild interest? No. Alright. Shall we have a look at the Express? I think there was at

00:52:38.960 least one story of mild interest on the Express. Bear with me if I can find it. No, I don't

00:52:47.080 think so. The Sun, there was one. Oh, they found out what Banksy looks like. Do you want to know

00:52:53.540 what Banksy looks like? He's a middle-aged dude called Robin. Well, probably. I don't think it's

00:53:01.000 100% confirmed, but it's pretty much like 95, 99% confirmed. Banksy's identity has been revealed.

00:53:08.380 Are you ready?

00:53:10.580 Do you even care at all?

00:53:14.820 Some stencil artist

00:53:16.320 The emperor's new clothes

00:53:17.440 You've been told his art is of value

00:53:19.000 It's not of value

00:53:19.760 Really

00:53:21.100 Actual value

00:53:22.140 There's no real skill in

00:53:25.100 Making a stencil

00:53:26.720 And then spray painting it on a wall

00:53:28.320 It's not like Raphael

00:53:34.000 It's not like Titian

00:53:35.460 There's no Caravaggio is he

00:53:37.460 He makes stencils and uses a spray can.

00:53:40.640 And the politics, the message behind it, is the most... 1.00

00:53:46.640 It's just stupid champagne socialism, isn't it? 1.00

00:53:52.840 Stupid. 1.00

00:53:55.240 Stupid. 1.00

00:53:56.060 The most weak-wristed, libtard, boomer nonsense politics 1.00

00:54:01.220 and message behind what Banksy does. 0.96

00:54:04.320 Here we go.

00:54:05.300 Ready for this?

00:54:06.160 Boom.

00:54:06.520 that's what Banksy looks like

00:54:08.800 some burnout

00:54:12.600 some libtard 1.00

00:54:15.540 burnout 1.00

00:54:16.240 fat bitch 1.00

00:54:18.900 some dude called Robin 1.00

00:54:22.180 but his stencil work's worth millions

00:54:28.980 it's not the emperor's new clothes

00:54:34.380 oh no no no no

00:54:35.820 It's important societal commentary

00:54:38.820 He's an important artiste

00:54:41.820 This dude

00:54:43.860 State of it

00:54:47.140 The actual state of it

00:54:49.820 Alright, it's actually nearly nine

00:54:53.200 Shall we just move on to do a little bit of

00:54:55.220 On this day in history

00:54:56.080 What happened on this day in history

00:54:58.860 I like doing that

00:55:00.160 I think you guys like me doing that

00:55:02.460 So, on the 18th of March

00:55:04.320 Down through the centuries

00:55:05.140 what happened of note okay in the year 1123 the first council of the lateran the ninth ecumenical

00:55:11.320 council opens in rome agreement agreements of the concordat of worms are ratified uh yeah so

00:55:19.080 this is post the great schism or anyone this is the catholic church obviously long before the

00:55:25.240 reformation this is the catholic church trying to get its house in order so you've had the great

00:55:29.400 schism in the 1050s when the eastern and western churches split off from each other

00:55:35.800 they've got like the the eastern orthodox church and the western catholic church

00:55:41.260 anyway by 1123 they decided that they needed loads more reforms it's exactly sort of some

00:55:49.200 of the exact same things that come to a head during the reformation of the early 16th century

00:55:55.540 they're already a massive problem in the early 12th century things like simony the buying and

00:56:03.460 selling of religious orders orders could buy or sell your way into being a priest or a bishop

00:56:10.360 or even a cardinal perhaps simony trying to stamp down on that or that priests can get married you're

00:56:18.640 not supposed to be able to get married you're supposed to be married to the church and be 0.92

00:56:21.460 celibate but they just really weren't doing that well there's also there's loads of stuff there's

00:56:25.480 loads of loads of stuff i think this is one of the ones where they wrote in stone for the first

00:56:30.140 time not literally the powers of the holy roman emperor it's going back to charlemagne centuries

00:56:37.060 before that the papacy and the office of the holy roman emperor was sort of got mixed up and like

00:56:44.940 the holy roman emperor could help pick who the pope is and stuff and they wanted to change all 1.00

00:56:49.320 of that. Anyway, there's loads to it. If you're interested in ecumenical history, it's a big

00:56:56.780 one, important one. They tried to get it in order for centuries before someone like Martin

00:57:01.500 Luther turns up. They never could. Many of the exact same things that Martin Luther 0.68

00:57:09.220 would talk about centuries later. People before Martin Luther, people like John Wycliffe

00:57:17.180 or Jan Hus

00:57:18.640 alright

00:57:21.940 on this day in the year

00:57:24.420 1314

00:57:25.520 Jacques de Molay the 23rd

00:57:28.640 and last Grand Master of the Knights Templar

00:57:30.580 is burned at the stake by King

00:57:32.540 Philip IV of France

00:57:33.640 it's the end of the Templars

00:57:35.140 that King Philip IV of France ended

00:57:37.940 the Knights Templar

00:57:39.060 the Crusading Era

00:57:42.380 was coming to an end or

00:57:43.560 had come to an end really

00:57:45.140 mostly almost entirely and king philip owed the templars loads of money

00:57:50.680 so he like accused them of being criminals and heretics in various ways

00:57:58.320 and there's a there's a whole long story but eventually the upshot is he disbanded

00:58:07.700 the knights template entirely and executed all their leaders particularly famously

00:58:13.180 Jacques de Molay

00:58:15.180 had him burnt alive

00:58:18.040 on an island in the middle of the Seine

00:58:20.760 in Paris

00:58:21.460 interesting classic story

00:58:24.620 ok

00:58:26.500 on this day in 1325 according to legend

00:58:28.980 Tenochtitlan is founded

00:58:30.760 on this date on an island

00:58:33.040 in what was then

00:58:35.200 Lake Texcoco

00:58:36.620 in the valley of Mexico

00:58:38.660 Tenochtitlan

00:58:41.060 is the site of

00:58:42.960 modern day Mexico City, isn't it? I believe so. Yeah, Mexico City. Mexico City is a giant,

00:58:50.160 giant metropolis. It's one of the biggest cities in the world, Mexico City. Anyway, before that,

00:58:56.160 it was Tenochtitlan. I think I'm pronouncing that correctly, probably fluffing it a little bit.

00:59:04.480 Also, that's relatively late, or in my mind, the 14th century. You might think it goes back

00:59:11.040 A lot further than that

00:59:13.160 But no

00:59:13.700 No it doesn't

00:59:16.320 Okay on this day in 1890

00:59:18.780 German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck

00:59:20.800 Resigns after 19 years

00:59:22.600 After a disagreement with

00:59:24.800 German Emperor Wilhelm II

00:59:27.620 If you're a history nerd

00:59:32.200 You've got to know all about Bismarck

00:59:34.800 Absolutely pivotal figure

00:59:36.880 For the 19th century

00:59:37.860 Absolutely unbelievably pivotal

00:59:40.900 if it wasn't for him there may not be a single unified germany the whole of europe's history

00:59:47.260 the whole timeline of european history was altered by the career of otto von bismarck

00:59:53.320 and that wilhelm ii is kaiser bill that's the kaiser during world war one

00:59:58.920 and his father was it wilhelm ii um bismarck had just sort of bullied and browbeaten him

01:00:08.020 into sort of being just a figurehead

01:00:10.080 monarch and Bismarck did all

01:00:11.980 the business of government, set all policy

01:00:13.780 military and civilian

01:00:15.200 but when he died, that old Wilhelm I 0.68

01:00:18.260 died of old age, of natural causes

01:00:20.000 and his son, Willy

01:00:22.180 Kaiser Bill

01:00:24.340 comes in

01:00:24.960 he was headstrong and egotistical

01:00:28.120 and proud and he didn't want

01:00:30.260 the old man Bismarck telling him what he could

01:00:32.040 or couldn't do and say, so he fired him

01:00:34.380 That's an interesting story

01:00:38.760 Bismarck thought he was some sort of god emperor himself

01:00:44.160 In the end

01:00:45.720 But, okay, he served at the pleasure of the king

01:00:51.060 And the emperor

01:00:52.540 And he sort of lost sight of that on some level

01:00:56.640 I don't know, okay, alright

01:00:59.440 On this day, 1922, British magistrates in India

01:01:03.620 sentence Mahatma Gandhi

01:01:05.240 meddling solicitor Mahatma Gandhi

01:01:07.800 backward Mahatma Gandhi

01:01:09.160 a wife beater Mahatma Gandhi

01:01:11.420 to six years imprisonment for disobedience

01:01:13.680 yeah he was saying

01:01:15.560 people in India just boycott

01:01:17.840 all British goods, all British businesses

01:01:19.880 British schools, British courts

01:01:21.440 boycott the courts

01:01:24.800 peacefully

01:01:29.060 just boycott them

01:01:31.700 I think we could take

01:01:32.860 a page out of his book actually

01:01:35.560 I think we could learn one or two things

01:01:37.640 from the great Mahatma

01:01:39.160 perhaps we

01:01:40.900 in Britain in 2026

01:01:43.180 should boycott all foreign 1.00

01:01:45.840 businesses

01:01:46.340 don't spend your money in any of these

01:01:49.820 disgusting third world businesses 1.00

01:01:51.480 that have cropped up all over our towns and cities

01:01:53.780 don't spend your money there

01:01:55.320 don't give them a penny

01:01:56.160 they're sending most of it out of the country anyway

01:01:58.540 why would you transfer our wealth to them

01:02:00.920 They don't do it

01:02:03.780 They're invaders

01:02:04.520 That's what they're here to do

01:02:07.780 Transfer wealth from us to them 0.99

01:02:09.460 Don't just give it to them

01:02:11.840 Find a native owned business

01:02:15.440 And patronise them where possible

01:02:17.580 On this day in 1940

01:02:19.980 Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler 0.87

01:02:21.720 Meet at the Brenner Pass

01:02:23.140 Where the Italian dictator agrees to join

01:02:25.540 Germany's impending war effort in the West

01:02:27.600 okay was that the one where Hitler turned up in civilian clothes and Mussolini turned up in like

01:02:36.060 really elaborate military garb and Hitler was annoyed because it made him look made Mussolini

01:02:43.300 look so much better than him he can't remember okay on this day 1965 Soviet cosmonaut Alexei

01:02:49.840 Leonov leaves his spacecraft, Vostok 2, for 12 minutes and becomes the first person to

01:02:57.400 conduct a spacewalk. There's a picture of it. If you believe that, I mean, many people

01:03:03.060 believe that space entirely is fake and gay, and it's all phony and fake, and it's not 0.95

01:03:10.000 possible, it's not real. The Soviets are in on it, of course, must be, right? Everything 0.98

01:03:16.260 the soviets ever claimed to do or produced evidence that they've done in space all that

01:03:22.180 must also be fake working perfectly in union with nasa and the americans to maintain that

01:03:29.140 lie and the chinese and the european space agencies and the indian space agencies and

01:03:34.820 the japanese space agencies it's the biggest biggest conspiracy of all time that space

01:03:40.500 space is fake and gay or they just did do it or or it's real make up your own mind on this day in 0.60

01:07:16.100 Things like that

01:07:17.160 Big Chungus 1.00

01:07:19.720 okay he finishes by saying keep your cortisol cortisol low by jester maxing and mogging low

01:07:32.300 tea soy boys that's what i do really mogging low tea soy boys that's my bread and butter

01:07:39.240 thing is i actually know what these things are almost entirely like classic almost like

01:07:46.200 Bart Simpson funny names like Hugh Jazz is there a Hugh Jazz there I'm looking for Hugh Jazz

01:07:54.600 okay but that's the thing I'm not trying to be the Prime Minister

01:08:01.680 I'm not hoping to be taken very very seriously on the international stage of like

01:08:09.140 diplomacy and things like hoping to be invited to beijing and rub shoulders

01:08:15.500 with like xi jinping so it doesn't matter to me 1.00

01:08:20.660 but that is what nigel's sort of aiming at isn't it all right all right okay 0.86

01:08:28.320 kenogi says africans built everything they built spacecraft that today we'd call ufos

01:08:35.900 then the european came along and stole all those futuristic inventions and tech

01:08:39.920 using the inferior power of lies and dishonor yeah yeah and they invented everything didn't

01:08:45.960 they they invented absolutely everything and we just stole it from them they invented computers

01:08:50.940 and the internet and we just simply stole it from them that's what happened

01:09:00.120 clergy also says can we really call it replacement when the africans are just taking back what they 1.00

01:09:05.440 built in the first place bo can we really i mean you're quite right you're quite right no

01:09:11.560 of course yeah i mean it was always theirs wasn't it yeah we just stole it off them briefly they're

01:09:18.360 just taking back what's rightly theirs quite right no quite right casser dwen says if we lose all

01:09:26.080 future civilizations uh with sense will learn from our fail and be more brutal less open more

01:09:35.040 xenophobic so they don't succumb to the fate of the overly generous white man right yeah but i

01:09:42.280 mean unfortunately cycles like this have already happened a few times throughout history basically

01:09:46.780 in various ways not exactly this of course history never exactly repeats but it very very often rhymes

01:09:52.820 so things like this have happened before and it's a few among us could say oh look this sort of thing

01:09:58.560 has happened before look here it happened in history and the rest of the world just don't

01:10:03.280 or someone like Angela Rayner

01:10:04.900 or whoever, Lisa Nandy

01:10:06.960 don't listen to you.

01:10:09.740 Very, very deliberately, actively

01:10:11.060 not listening to that.

01:10:14.100 The lessons of history are there.

01:10:20.140 Okay, have you got the

01:10:21.520 YouTube chats?

01:10:23.200 You have to bring them up on my screen for me

01:10:30.620 We have more Rumble Rents and Super Chats.

01:10:33.280 How about that?

01:10:34.600 Okay.

01:10:36.000 Oh, Global Church History's not first.

01:10:37.680 Dude, your game's slipping.

01:10:40.780 You're second, though.

01:10:41.980 Someone got in before him.

01:10:46.280 Mickey Redeyes, 26, got in before you, Global Church History, today.

01:10:49.960 He didn't say anything.

01:10:52.600 He just sneaked in.

01:10:56.300 Just about pipped you to the post.

01:10:57.840 Okay, but with the first actual comment of the day, so still undefeated streak in that sense.

01:11:03.280 global church history says my book uh the the battle of mbore i've got no idea how you pronounce

01:11:09.440 that i'm sorry uh went out last night available on kindle you got to check it out bow and glorious

01:11:17.640 band also caligula made emperor today in 37 ad oh very interesting on epochs of the lotus eaters

01:11:26.100 bow day's history themed show behind the paywall or lotus eaters.com can

01:11:30.120 consider subscribing for this is five pound a month bronze tier membership on there i've got

01:11:35.780 some long form content all about caligula one that's just all about the life and reign of

01:11:41.660 caligula and then another one with josh talking about roman britain and caligula's aborted

01:11:47.100 attempt to invade britain so i'm talking about caligula a couple of times a couple of different

01:11:52.160 times there. Caligula. Very interesting. Fascinating. Insane. The closest thing to

01:12:02.520 like an actual serial killer, if the counts are to be believed.

01:12:08.520 I'm saying he was just terribly maligned after the fact and he wasn't as insane

01:12:14.560 as someone like Suetonius

01:12:16.440 says he was

01:12:18.920 anyway

01:12:21.120 something like a serial killer

01:12:22.940 if the accounts

01:12:25.300 should be believed

01:12:26.020 Krish281 says

01:12:27.700 the idea of BBC having to sell off

01:12:30.600 their PDF file

01:12:32.240 statue above their

01:12:34.760 door

01:12:34.940 I can just say

01:12:37.640 the idea they have to sell off their

01:12:39.860 paedophile statue above their door to pay off

01:12:42.180 the Donald is amusing to me

01:12:43.560 Yeah, it'd be hilarious.

01:12:45.360 Not sure who'd buy it though.

01:12:47.200 Plenty of potential buyers in Whitehall, I guess.

01:12:52.740 Yeah.

01:12:55.460 Yeah.

01:12:58.800 Let's see if that guy from Hope Not Hate would want to buy it.

01:13:03.600 Yeah, convicted paedophile worked for Hope Not Hate.

01:13:06.560 He was convicted, wasn't he?

01:13:08.420 He was actually fully convicted, so that's a matter of record.

01:13:13.560 Can't take me to court for that.

01:13:15.520 It's a matter of record.

01:13:16.580 A matter of fact.

01:13:18.180 Maybe he'd want to buy it.

01:13:21.380 Mr. Gently Benevolent.

01:13:23.500 So I shouldn't get Nigel to do a cameo announcing

01:13:26.440 you've won the best Spice Carl award then, Bo?
