00:00:57.820 As always, I'm joined by my producer, little Harry Howe, this morning, good sir

00:01:01.260 Great, shall we just get straight into it?

00:01:07.400 There's no need for the faffing about, is there?

00:01:09.640 We don't have to fanny around like that, do we?

00:01:12.300 Let's just get straight into it

00:01:13.340 Alright, so today it's about defence spending, it's a big defence spending day in the papers

00:01:18.140 and a little bit of football because england are playing tonight be prepared for i'll keep

00:01:22.980 it to a minimum as always i know my people uh but be prepared for tomorrow whatever happens

00:01:28.380 england win and if definitely if they get knocked out it will just be every page

00:01:33.680 all right here we go here we bow defense black hole and starmer's gift to burnham

00:01:40.980 A gift, a poison chalice

00:01:44.800 Okay, the eye paper, they start with the eye paper

00:01:47.780 England expects, okay, alright, alright

00:01:50.840 Starmer's gift to Burnham

00:01:53.660 A 4.7 billion pound black hole

00:01:57.140 In the first budget to fund war plan

00:01:59.920 So, if you met, the overall budget

00:02:03.960 British defence budget

00:02:05.960 Is something on the order of 80 billion I think

00:02:08.160 A year, something like that

00:02:09.560 and so you might remember the numbers that get bandied around even i've reported that

00:02:15.080 the the defense establishment wanted another 18 billion so that's on top of many many more

00:02:21.080 billions already the whole budget isn't 18 billion 15 billion 13.5 that's just the increase of it

00:02:27.000 okay they wanted a minimum bare minimum they were saying scraping the bottom of the barrel needed 18

00:02:31.680 slama says i'll give you 13.5 wasn't enough now he's saying 15 then he said just it was reported

00:02:37.760 over the weekend and yesterday and monday to give you 15 well turns out there's only like 10 10 and

00:02:45.320 a bit and that other five odd billion 4.7 billion uh is just yeah well it's up to you it's up to

00:02:52.580 you burn them to find that we haven't actually got that despite us spending untold on other stuff

00:03:00.520 Like foreign aid and welfare for our invaders

00:03:06.700 The millions of invaders that are here 0.99

00:03:09.280 Okay, the blurb on the iPaper is about the best thing you can get off Fleet Street

00:03:11.780 Let's have a quick read

00:03:12.460 Outgoing Prime Minister risks political row

00:03:15.220 He won't care, he'll be out of office, he won't care

00:03:16.640 Risks political row with his likely successor

00:03:19.200 Again, it absolutely doesn't matter

00:03:21.700 Once you're out of office, you're done, you're out

00:03:23.860 After leaving a third of the £15 billion defence investment plan unfunded

00:03:31.580 Again, I've said before, haven't I

00:03:34.640 That when you're in opposition, you can sort of say anything you want

00:03:37.180 Within reason, obviously

00:03:38.260 You just sort of say stuff, just sort of pledge stuff

00:03:40.320 It doesn't matter, you never get

00:03:42.800 You won't be held to account for it

00:03:44.980 You won't actually have to deliver on it

00:03:46.240 Sometimes in government they do that as well

00:03:49.720 To say, oh yeah, we're going to do this now

00:03:51.580 They've got no intention of actually doing it

00:03:53.200 or no way to pay for it they also do that sometimes okay burnham did not know the full

00:04:01.280 details the eye paper understands but accepts that the long-awaited strategy is now settled

00:04:08.640 i mean burnham won't re-look at it and re-evaluate it and re-jig it in any way

00:04:15.760 who knows they're gonna coo starmer out and put a new man in who hasn't laid out his plans in

00:04:22.800 any real detail. Great. Great. Starmer says it will equip the armed forces for potential 1.00

00:04:34.480 conflict with Russia by 2030. Why are they hell-bent on Russia? It's not the Cold War,

00:04:43.780 is it? The Donbass has got nothing to do with us, ultimately. £64 billion will go to UK's

00:04:51.800 Nuclear deterrent

00:04:52.940 And £11 billion to boost weapons stocks

00:04:55.560 But critics say

00:04:56.860 Spending falls short

00:04:58.040 Of what was promised

00:05:00.400 Well it does

00:05:01.760 Extra military investment

00:05:05.600 Will be funded in part

00:05:07.000 By shelving road and energy projects

00:05:09.100 Heaven forbid they should shelve 0.51

00:05:10.940 Welfare

00:05:12.900 Spending in any way

00:05:14.460 Road building projects

00:05:17.680 And energy projects

00:05:18.900 Right

00:05:21.800 After, in my opinion, I think a lot of people's opinion 0.99

00:05:25.400 After immigration

00:05:27.300 Perhaps energy is the most important, most existential 0.99

00:05:31.880 Question of our age

00:05:35.700 Isn't it?

00:05:39.040 So to have that put on the back burner

00:05:41.240 It would be a balance next

00:05:45.400 I wouldn't particularly like to be the Chancellor of the Exchequer

00:05:48.560 Or sort of a senior Treasury official

00:05:50.480 It would be stuck between a rock and a hard place

00:05:52.800 Unless fundamentally, fundamental change

00:05:57.300 In how government is done

00:05:59.420 I.e. looking at truly lower spending

00:06:04.220 Across the board in loads and loads of different ways

00:06:06.940 Which is politically, of course

00:06:08.540 Politically very, very unpopular

00:06:10.180 Going back to sort of a true austerity

00:06:12.860 True, true sort of austerity

00:06:14.700 1940s, 1950s level stuff

00:06:17.780 In order to balance the book

00:06:19.640 So we don't completely go bankrupt

00:06:21.720 Have to borrow loads and loads and loads of money

00:06:24.260 Off like what, the World Bank or the International Monetary Fund

00:06:26.820 Or in fact default on our debts

00:06:29.120 And become financially speaking a world pariah 1.00

00:06:31.720 Like the Russians did in the early 90s 1.00

00:06:35.260 Become a laughing stock 1.00

00:06:37.640 All investment just flees

00:06:38.980 Because you're a joke

00:06:40.300 And what's wrong with defaulting on your national debts?

00:06:46.120 Investment flees

00:06:47.040 because you just cannot be trusted like like a normal person that's got loads and loads and

00:06:53.240 loads of debts all over the place and you keep telling everyone yeah i'm going to pay you back

00:06:55.680 i'm going to pay you back i'm going to pay you back and at some point you go no i've just filed

00:06:57.900 file for bankruptcy you'll never see any of your money i've borrowed well from that point on

00:07:02.060 everyone's like well okay okay i'm certainly certainly never ever ever going to give you

00:07:07.760 another penny ever again ever it's like that bit like that so okay we do need to balance

00:07:15.020 our budget or at least try at least draw it back from the precipice but no they'll just keep going

00:07:22.460 and uh shelf projects to like make our roads any better and they're terrible

00:07:28.460 just keep giving ukraine billions burnham said he's committed to keep giving ukraine billions 0.82

00:07:37.260 make sure a small clique of ukrainians can embezzle yet more of our billions 0.66

00:07:41.820 but don't fix our roads got it right right make sure we give pakistan and india billions 0.95

00:07:50.220 let's make sure we can fund a pakistani airport in pakistan but our roads crumble right right 0.98

00:08:00.060 the times the venerable times england are going to play congo all right migrants can't avoid 1.00

00:08:07.260 deportation by having families after arrival so here's a bit of red meat classic bit of red 0.82

00:08:11.740 red meat classic classic bit of red meat uh gaslighting basically in my opinion that shabana

00:08:19.380 mahoud and the home office have said that if you're uh an illegal immigrant you come over here 0.51

00:08:24.660 and then you get in a relationship and have a kid that won't prevent us from deporting you as it has

00:08:30.740 done in the past a lot of times a court rule oh no they've got a kid now so we can't deport any of

00:08:36.480 them she's saying that won't stop you under my new harsh rules we'll still deport you don't 0.96

00:08:44.060 believe that simply don't believe that for a single moment that's just a tiny bit of red meat 0.99

00:08:48.840 nothing more liars even if they did make a home office sort of um rule about it it just wouldn't 0.99

00:08:57.700 get enforced i'm sure i'm sure that's exactly the sort of thing we've been through this what

00:09:03.440 dozens of times over the decades maybe hundreds of times something like this oh here's a new

00:09:09.200 hardline rule that's in the natives interests and then it just never ever happens or if it does

00:09:15.840 then it's just simply not enforced or a they'll try to enforce it like one time and a judge will

00:09:21.800 strike it down and then that's it and then they shrug their shoulders well we tried

00:09:25.300 you could reform the judiciary in some ways you could leave the echr and a number of other

00:09:33.520 mechanisms that allow judges and lawyers to do this no no we'll just shrug our shoulders 1.00

00:09:39.500 we want they want to be able to throw out a bit of red meat and then get defeated on it and then 1.00

00:09:45.000 shrug their shoulders that's what they want that's their that's their game plan has been for a very 0.99

00:09:47.960 long time okay starmer puts burnham in five billion pound defense black hole bm in waiting

00:09:54.100 must raise taxes or cut spending he doesn't want to do either of those does he well he does want

00:09:59.480 to raise taxes actually he doesn't want to cut spend if he cuts spending at all i'm pretty sure

00:10:05.140 the left of the labour party will begin to despise him as much as they do but i mean the hard left of

00:10:11.580 the labour party already don't like burnham he's just an old blairite to them remember to the left

00:10:16.920 left left of the labour party the whole blairite experiment and gordon brown years all of that

00:10:22.020 was wrong headed and gone down the wrong path all of it burnham's a continuation of that of

00:10:28.000 course isn't he so the hard hard left of the Labour Party already hate burnham there's a

00:10:34.100 slightly more centre left of the party though they're giving him you know this coronation

00:10:38.960 and they wanted him most of all if he just starts cutting spending and things

00:10:44.240 they'll turn on him and they'll try and undermine him at every single turn

00:10:49.280 like they did with starma good yeah i'd like a civil war in labor so that they can't really

00:10:55.340 govern they can't bring in more and more measures that damage us that's fine with me number of

00:11:02.140 billionaires soars thanks to booming ai that's interesting there's not much more to it than that

00:11:07.300 it's just interesting isn't it um if you do have a large amount of money invested in the ai sector

00:11:15.300 and this isn't financial advice i'm not a cfa i'm not a charter financial analyst

00:11:20.140 it's not advice

00:11:22.640 if you're one of those people maybe consider cutting your losses at some point or not cutting

00:11:29.420 your losses sorry cutting your gains taking your gains pocketing your gains getting out of the

00:11:34.360 market while it's still good maybe all right that's what i would be considering if i had loads

00:11:39.700 money wrapped up in AI tech at the moment. Anyway, feels like a bubble. Might be wrong,

00:11:48.800 might be wrong. Okay, the Express, it's a good paper. You can read your Express now.

00:11:58.680 The Express. All right, it's Chris Eubank playing tennis. They put Chris Eubank in a dress.

00:12:07.820 He's playing tennis

00:12:09.520 It's odd

00:12:10.700 Oh no, it's Serena Williams

00:12:12.180 Sorry, my mistake

00:12:13.320 Labour blasted for prioritising benefits

00:12:16.940 And leaving £5 billion budget black hole

00:12:19.180 PM still puts welfare ahead of Defence Boost

00:12:21.280 Yeah

00:12:21.460 To his last moment

00:12:24.580 Here Starmer

00:12:25.940 Starmerbot 2.0

00:12:27.900 To his very, very last moment in government

00:12:30.600 Doing everything he possibly can to undermine

00:12:33.140 While still being bellicos and belligerent about Russia

00:12:35.900 isn't that an odd dynamic being extremely belligerent relatively belligerent

00:12:47.340 and failing to spend enough on defense both those things in tandem again could you think

00:12:55.240 of a sort of a strategy designed more to weaken us put us in danger 1.00

00:13:00.660 Like spreading migrants across the country 1.00

00:13:04.880 Into every corner 1.00

00:13:05.940 Every village

00:13:07.820 Every town

00:13:09.280 You're trying to put as many people in danger as possible

00:13:12.800 Is that what you're trying to do

00:13:14.680 In fact, let's quickly

00:13:15.420 There's something on the Sun

00:13:16.440 Okay, let's go to the Sun website real quick

00:13:18.860 Look at this story, look

00:13:19.860 This little old deer

00:13:22.180 Somewhere in the middle of England

00:13:23.520 Word on the street 1.00

00:13:25.100 I live next to Migrant Street 1.00

00:13:26.520 Do you remember that yesterday?

00:13:27.220 If you watched the day show yesterday

00:13:28.120 There's a whole bunch of new builds 1.00

00:13:29.960 bought for a million pounds a piece and they're just giving them all to asylum seekers 0.87

00:13:34.140 a whole street of asylum seekers this woman lives next to it where asylum seekers will get new 1.00

00:13:41.300 builds i'll never be able to sell up so no one wants to live there would they really 1.00

00:13:46.400 unless you've got little kids or any women in your household nowhere is safe that's the key isn't it

00:13:53.820 with that operation scatter or whatever they call it operation smear i call it sometimes 0.99

00:13:57.780 I want to spread out

00:14:00.420 All the 1.00

00:14:01.200 Particularly illegal migrants 1.00

00:14:02.700 Into every town and village 1.00

00:14:04.740 In Hamlet

00:14:05.320 You're trying to make

00:14:08.280 As many people as possible

00:14:09.080 Unsafe

00:14:09.780 That's the key to it

00:14:11.160 Isn't it

00:14:11.580 That's the key

00:14:12.040 Nowhere is safe

00:14:13.360 Because of course 1.00

00:14:19.400 Not all illegal migrants

00:14:21.180 Are violent criminals 1.00

00:14:23.020 And sex criminals 0.94

00:14:23.660 But per capita 0.83

00:14:24.920 Many of them are

00:14:27.780 From certain countries per capita, the rate of offending is astronomical

00:14:35.780 In places like Afghanistan, Somalia, Eritrea 0.98

00:14:42.240 In your tiny little homogenous village

00:14:47.060 Suddenly there's a few dozen Somalians or Afghans 1.00

00:14:54.380 Young, single, fighting age men 0.98

00:14:57.780 Are the women folk of that Hamlet now safe?

00:15:04.580 Statistically, not really, not anymore

00:15:06.520 So why is that the government policy?

00:15:12.000 If it's not that you want us to be less safe

00:15:14.920 Terrible, dereliction of duty

00:15:21.000 Absolutely insane, really

00:15:22.960 Okay

00:15:26.460 the daily mail nadine doris was taking tests apparently okay starmer's finally um starmer

00:15:35.600 finally unveils his defense plan but there's a five billion pound black hole and the ministry

00:15:39.580 of defense has to make 10 billion pounds in cuts and there's still no date for spending to hit

00:15:44.300 three percent of gdp it's indefensible every plan words isn't it indefensible yeah it is a bit

00:15:50.660 I mean, if the government had been not bellicose and aggressive

00:15:56.820 On the world stage, particularly against Russia

00:15:59.540 That would be one thing, wouldn't it?

00:16:01.940 If they were like some sort of like Gandhi type pacifists

00:16:07.520 We hate war at any cost

00:16:10.320 You know, something like that

00:16:12.180 We don't want to be involved in foreign conflicts pretty much ever

00:16:15.120 Under any circumstances

00:16:16.280 That's not who we are

00:16:17.480 that's not morally or ethically what we think is the right thing to do and the result of that is

00:16:23.160 that we will cut defense spending or just not spend as much as required on defense okay that

00:16:28.140 would be one thing i want people wouldn't be happy with that i won't be particularly happy

00:16:30.740 with that but that would be one thing right that would have some logic to it but no no

00:16:35.360 is we must be ready for war with russia as quickly as possible and here's way less money to do it

00:16:40.640 with okay okay the metro metro metro rank disgusting 80 billion pound defense scheme

00:16:56.420 announced britain needs you like kitchener look look at the picture that they're pointing

00:17:00.680 like the world war one lord kitchener britain needs you to queue on the roads on motorways

00:17:09.740 But it needs you to queue up because they're cutting spending on roads

00:17:12.920 Look

00:17:14.180 Summer reveals his long-awaited defence spending plan

00:17:19.400 Including new nuke warhead

00:17:21.880 That can be very, very, very expensive

00:17:25.420 But jam-busting road projects

00:17:28.260 Traffic jam-busting road projects

00:17:30.840 Will have to be sacrificed to free up cash for UK's war readiness

00:17:35.220 You know, we haven't got enough money to just do what we want

00:17:37.760 We're not the United States

00:17:38.960 we're not china there's not just an endless amount of money to keep funding all the things you want

00:17:44.940 to do our economy is balancing on a knife edge our growth is what like 0.3 percent or is it 0.6

00:17:56.460 percent or 0.5 percent and it's hovering around there and will continue to hover around there

00:18:01.020 maybe even dipping into recession we we're not a rich country i always find it funny when our

00:18:07.360 detractors and enemies say what why are you still pretending you're like uh like like you still

00:18:14.460 some sort of throwback of the empire that you're still rich country we're not we don't we've got

00:18:18.100 no pretensions about that painfully aware actually if anything okay let's telegraph what's mike

00:18:26.780 tyson doing in a dress mike tyson got a handbag there i'm sorry it's serena williams my mistake

00:18:33.220 Starmer leaves five billion defence black hole

00:18:35.900 Burnham handed a delayed action poison pill

00:18:40.020 I've described it as

00:18:41.420 As spending is pushed into next budget

00:18:44.600 Yeah, no Sterner Burnham

00:18:46.880 We'll have to find a bit of cashola from somewhere, won't he?

00:18:55.440 Sure, why not? 1.00

00:18:56.420 Why not?

00:18:58.180 It has always been extremely difficult for working class

00:19:02.120 regardless of their the amount of melanin they've got in their skin it's always been extremely

00:19:06.160 difficult for working class kids no matter how brilliant they are to get into Oxford or Cambridge

00:19:10.540 I mean when I was young well doing like my A levels and before that it's just extremely

00:19:18.580 extremely difficult you could get straight A's at A level A stars they let you do four A levels

00:19:24.140 you get A stars in all four and you do the Duke of Edinburgh award and you play rugby and whatever

00:19:28.840 and on and on and on and on done loads of things outside of school that shows that you're sort of

00:19:34.440 a very exceptional person you're very very very lucky to get into oxford cambridge oh but mummy

00:19:42.840 and daddy are rich and live in chelsea and daddy went to oxford you're in that's the way it used

00:19:48.600 to be so it still is to a large extent but now throw on top of that throw on top of that uh

00:19:53.000 diversity quotas so if you've got enough melanin in your skin if your grandparents came from

00:20:00.600 somewhere else in the world ah well now then we'll look much more seriously at letting you in 1.00

00:20:07.240 at the expense of even more white working class kids 0.73

00:20:15.960 but that's equality

00:20:17.240 that's what equality means in their paradigm

00:20:23.060 that's equality sorry equity sorry equity equity

00:20:32.440 okay Axel Springer the company Axel Springer completes Telegraph takeover so yeah this is

00:20:41.320 that were reported in in the telegraph that they've been bought out by axel springer which

00:20:46.840 is a um uh if you don't know who is a german publishing house uh the biggest one in europe

00:21:01.880 age or whatever in like the 80s and now the company is just called axel springer it's not

00:21:09.640 Okay, all right, that's it, that's it, you get it.

00:21:12.000 And they're German-based, German-owned,

00:21:17.600 including like Bild, isn't Bild one of theirs?

00:21:19.900 I think it is, you know, the biggest selling tabloid in Germany.

00:21:23.160 So now they own the Telegraph.

00:21:25.780 There you go.

00:21:26.780 Okay.

00:21:28.740 UK families hit by biggest global drop in wealth.

00:21:31.260 Yeah, you can feel it, can't you?

00:21:32.240 The amount things cost

00:21:34.220 And the amount of jobs flying around

00:21:38.280 The amount of energy costs

00:21:40.740 The amount you're being taxed when you are able to earn anything

00:21:43.660 In real terms you feel poorer and poorer and poorer and poorer

00:21:48.260 Suspected Ebola case in hospital in Glasgow

00:21:51.320 Oh no, oh no, Ebola

00:21:52.600 That's truly terrifying, Ebola

00:21:54.360 But it was in another website

00:21:59.420 It was shown that it's not

00:22:00.360 Yeah, look, on the ITV News

00:22:01.840 Patient test negative for Ebola after suspected case in Glasgow Hospital

00:22:06.540 Phew, but it dodged 1.00

00:22:11.060 Meanwhile, still letting people in from the Congo and places like that around the world

00:22:14.740 That's been affected by the latest Ebola outbreak

00:22:18.040 There's no sort of ban on people coming in and out of the country from that part of the world

00:22:23.540 There's probably a matter of time, isn't it, before there's an Ebola case in Britain

00:22:28.340 but okay that one in glasgow although the telegraph says there is one or suspected

00:22:38.080 they're now saying it's not all right okay iran clerics call for trump assassination they've done

00:22:43.860 that a number of times haven't they since this war started yeah i've done it a number of times

00:22:47.960 over the years ever since ever since trump blew up that uh soleimani in his first term remember

00:22:54.200 that one it's like an airport was it a Baghdad airport it was an airport in Iraq I think he was

00:22:59.640 in a car he wasn't personally driving I don't think he was in a car and a US drone some sort

00:23:07.900 of smart missile landed right on top it blew him up there's a picture of his severed hand on the

00:23:13.460 floor with that ring like a unique ring he always wore on the severed hand ever since then there's

00:24:18.120 Supreme Court have been busy this week haven't they

00:24:19.900 Where in the United States 0.90

00:24:22.980 Their policy had been that

00:24:24.380 If you are an illegal immigrant

00:24:25.560 Then you get to the United States 1.00

00:24:27.940 Through fair means or foul

00:24:29.240 If you then have a child

00:24:30.540 At the very least that child 1.00

00:24:31.840 If it was born on US soil 0.76

00:24:33.080 The magic US soil

00:24:34.340 If it was born there

00:24:35.820 That child is a citizen 1.00

00:24:37.040 End of story

00:24:39.080 Well the Trump administration

00:24:42.200 And the Republicans have tried to sort of

00:24:44.040 Change that

00:24:44.700 Or argue against that

00:24:48.120 If your parents are illegal migrants and they're getting deported 1.00

00:24:51.640 The child should have to go with them 1.00

00:24:54.080 And isn't a US citizen

00:24:56.380 The Supreme Court said no they are

00:24:58.200 The Supreme Court held up that

00:25:01.120 Okay

00:25:03.880 Okay, the Financial Times

00:25:07.560 Europe's rearmament is sustaining 195,000 US defence jobs

00:25:12.240 Rutger says

00:25:13.700 NATO boss hails $300 billion orders

00:25:17.040 orders for military materiel from europe to europe from the united states economic case to keep trump

00:25:25.960 on side industry urge to uh lift output so next week next week there's a big nato summit and

00:25:32.280 everyone who's everyone will be anyone who's anyone will be there anybody who is anybody will

00:25:36.240 Bugsy Malone?

00:25:41.300 No?

00:25:41.680 Anybody? 1.00

00:25:42.300 Zoomers won't know that. 1.00

00:25:43.080 Okay.

00:25:45.220 Big NATO summit next week.

00:25:47.640 And, of course, Trump will be there and everyone will be there.

00:25:50.100 And it's sort of Mark Rutger's job, isn't it,

00:25:53.060 to sort of boost NATO and do the best he possibly can for NATO

00:25:57.000 and basically try and corral cats,

00:26:00.660 keep them all on the same page where possible

00:26:02.360 and make Trump happy, ultimately,

00:26:04.480 because most of the funding for nato comes from the united states if the united states were to

00:26:09.820 sort of unilaterally pull out of it or like trump did with the un just said right we're cutting the

00:26:15.680 vast amount of your spending 90 plus or whatever we're just not we're just not giving you endless

00:26:20.020 millions or billions every year you have to survive on a shoestring let's see if you do

00:26:24.280 survive that's what trump has done with the un brilliant in my opinion brilliant

00:26:27.740 mark rutker and all the leadership of nato itself uh would hate for trump to do that to nato

00:26:35.800 so he's making he's making the argument that like you know dear america dear mr trump

00:26:42.480 you don't want to pull out of nato or just reduce nato shrink nato down to a tiny kernel of what it

00:26:48.380 once was because there's so many jobs that are dependent on it in the u.s that wouldn't that

00:26:54.240 wouldn't bode well for you and the republicans at the ballot box next time would it if you were

00:26:58.120 to do something like that we buy 300 billion dollars worth of stuff off of you uh mr trump

00:27:04.240 so you know don't don't shoot the golden goose in the head with an automatic shotgun

00:27:10.780 okay all right farage's payment for promoting gold dealer doubles to 22 500 pounds per hour

00:27:24.800 good good gig if you could get it i'll talk about this a bit because it's on some of the

00:27:32.720 other front pages in a minute on some of the more sloppy tabloid ones um first of all i would say

00:27:39.400 Me personally

00:27:41.420 I'm not sort of

00:27:47.380 It's okay, you're allowed to

00:27:48.840 If there's no conflict of interest, that's okay

00:27:50.580 I mean, it's in a little bit bad taste

00:27:54.060 If I ever found myself in office

00:27:56.080 I would deliberately not

00:27:57.840 Make loads of money out of other things on the side

00:28:01.140 Just because it's, like I say

00:28:02.440 It's in a bit bad taste

00:28:03.720 Even if there's a slightest, slightest hint

00:28:06.480 Even the merest hint

00:28:08.360 Of

00:28:09.280 A conflict of interest

00:28:11.400 I wouldn't do it

00:28:13.480 If I was in office

00:28:14.560 Just wait until you're out of office

00:28:16.100 And then you can make loads of money

00:28:17.620 Until the cows come home 0.99

00:28:18.980 With no holes barred

00:28:20.900 No strings attached

00:28:21.720 But whilst you're actually in office

00:28:24.040 Alright so the story just is

00:28:26.780 And I don't want it to come across as

00:28:28.880 Just like

00:28:29.620 Because sometimes some of these

00:28:30.480 Some of these articles come across as just

00:28:32.360 Whoever's writing it

00:28:33.420 Are you just jealous?

00:28:35.100 Are you just jealous that Nigel gets to make loads of money?

00:28:37.240 some of these articles when you read them does is a bit like that okay so he did like 12 out

00:28:43.140 apparently something like he did 12 hours odd work for this company called like direct bullion or

00:28:48.240 something a gold company a bullion company and they paid him like 270 grand for that

00:28:54.480 something like that and anyway it works out at 22,500 pound per hour

00:28:58.500 okay good work if you can get it right good luck to you if you can find someone that's prepared to

00:29:04.640 give you that much money for that little amount of work well done that's what i say the only problem

00:29:11.640 is is there any sort of conflict of interest i suspect not in this case like a bullion company

00:29:17.120 how could there really be unless nigel gets into power and then he's like right we're going to cut

00:29:22.100 all we're going to cut all like um taxed corporate tax or whatever for gold bullion companies then

00:29:30.140 it would be weird and suspicious but he hasn't said he will do that and he probably won't do

00:29:33.260 that so all right nigel must be a very rich man i think you know getting paid as an mp you get

00:29:39.180 what 90 odd grand 100 grand i don't know something in that ballpark he gets a couple of million a

00:29:43.660 year from gb news he does a number of things like this 100 grand here 200 grand there that

00:29:48.840 billionaire gave him 5 million the other day didn't he you don't remember that one um he's got to make

00:29:54.400 up for the losses for cameo though he was sort of making 70 quid a pop on cameo wasn't he

00:30:01.240 And saying weird things

00:30:02.940 Got to make up for that shortfall

00:30:05.180 No, my opinion is

00:30:10.420 Good luck to him if there's nothing nefarious going on

00:30:14.920 That's what I say about that 5 million as well

00:30:16.800 I could or would dunk on Farage

00:30:20.080 And legitimate political reasons

00:30:21.680 But if there's nothing legitimate

00:30:23.160 What is this?

00:30:23.760 Just sour grapes

00:30:25.240 I don't know

00:30:26.680 Other papers talk about it

00:30:28.980 Alright, mirror

00:30:29.600 The mirror

00:30:30.900 Hopes of nation with three lions 0.99

00:30:34.460 Main men

00:30:35.280 Main as in a lion's mane 0.98

00:30:37.340 Look on our badge there's three lions there

00:30:40.320 They're like the Plantagenet lions

00:30:42.160 Or are they

00:30:43.020 Originally from Aquitaine

00:30:45.400 Anyway

00:30:46.440 Three lions on a shirt

00:30:48.060 That's our badge

00:30:49.300 These are like lions aren't they

00:30:51.800 Lions of men playing football

00:30:53.860 Lions have a mane don't they male lions

00:30:56.600 They're our main men

00:30:59.060 You get it

00:31:00.900 The mirror, the mirror's got Farage derangement syndrome, isn't it?

00:31:04.120 Real bad.

00:31:05.580 Man with no shame, they call him.

00:31:07.500 That's their editorial line.

00:31:08.600 He's a man with no shame, apparently.

00:31:10.460 Same gold Farage.

00:31:12.400 Same old Farage.

00:31:13.960 They've put a G in it.

00:31:15.020 Same gold Farage.

00:31:16.180 Very clever wordplay.

00:31:17.000 Very, very clever.

00:31:18.020 Reform UK chief pockets 270 grand for 12 hours as a bullion ambassador.

00:31:22.900 He rakes in 22K, 22,500 pounds, an hour on top of MP pay.

00:31:28.580 And that infamous £5 million gift.

00:31:30.900 He's not poor

00:31:33.780 That's the other thing I feel like

00:31:35.420 Maybe I'm not ambitious enough in life

00:31:37.560 If I was a millionaire

00:31:39.720 Even a low millionaire

00:31:40.860 Once I've got a house

00:31:42.780 Or even two

00:31:43.960 You've got like three or four

00:31:45.920 Half a dozen cars you want

00:31:47.180 And then on top of all of that

00:31:49.040 On top of everything you really want

00:31:50.520 Within reason

00:31:51.140 You're also sitting on liquid savings

00:31:54.460 Of a few million pounds

00:31:56.140 Once you're in that position

00:31:58.660 God wouldn't it be nice

00:32:00.900 I'm sure in that position, personally, I wouldn't be scrimping and saving and doing things to try

00:32:07.440 and earn another 100 grand here or there, another 70 quid here or there, another 22 grand here or

00:32:14.440 there. I just wouldn't. I'd just be like, well, no, money's not a problem now. I don't need to

00:32:19.740 compromise or sacrifice anything for a little bit more money. But

00:32:24.920 it's just a bit greedy isn't it like that 200 200 did nigel really need that 270 grand i mean

00:32:35.780 270 grand is not to be sniffed at come on even if you're a low millionaire who's going to really

00:32:41.320 turn up turn their nose up at 270 grand if you're a normal person if you're not if not everything 0.88

00:32:46.320 you do and say isn't highly politically sensitive but it is nigel is isn't he does he really need

00:32:55.360 that 270 grand doesn't he make over 2 million just from gb news a year isn't it i don't know

00:33:01.280 something like that i read it once somewhere would you sacrifice your sort of your integrity

00:33:07.120 and headlines like this front pages like this would you risk if you were nigel would you risk

00:33:11.840 front pages like this for 270 grand i don't think i would well i wouldn't i wouldn't anyway there 0.52

00:33:19.860 you go it's probably well it's kind of a nothing burger isn't it they're just trying to dunk on

00:33:23.760 him like they do with rupert just trying to dunk him with anything whether there's anything really

00:33:28.080 there there's nothing illegal about this he's completely um he's completely registered it

00:33:34.180 normally and properly and it's all above board there's nothing illegal about it as far as we

00:33:39.240 No, again, unless he gets into government and helps gold bullion companies unnecessarily.

00:33:47.320 But as it stands, nothing illegal with it.

00:33:50.200 Are they just jealous that he gets to make loads of money?

00:33:53.160 It feels like that a bit, doesn't it?

00:33:54.260 Me.

00:33:55.960 Okay, all right.

00:33:57.000 The Sun.

00:33:58.140 Quickly go over it.

00:33:58.880 This is football.

00:34:00.000 England versus Congo.

00:34:00.560 It's tonight, by the way.

00:34:01.320 It's 5 p.m. British time.

00:34:03.640 England play Congo.

00:34:04.120 England are like fourth best team in the world.

00:34:08.600 and congo are like 41st or something we should beat them it's a knockout game though if england

00:34:13.080 lose that's it you're out of the world cup the last 32 okay we are the lions that roar are you

00:34:22.520 are you should win that game that's all i'll say move on move on oh this is the star this is a

00:34:31.000 really tortured headline this license to thrill okay jude bellingham said he wouldn't mind playing

00:34:39.160 james bond right he's a foot these are one of our football players this this guy he said he wouldn't

00:34:44.040 mind playing james bond so the star's gone with license to thrill as you remember there was that

00:34:50.840 james bond film license to kill dr congno remember there's a james one film called dr no

00:35:01.000 Dr. Kong-no, that's extremely tortured isn't it? Dr. Kong-no Jude, I'd love to

00:35:08.560 play 007. Now Mr. Bond, we expect you to score. Remembering Goldfinger, when Sean

00:35:15.820 Connery says, you expect me to talk Goldfinger? He says, no Mr. Bond, I expect

00:35:19.240 you to die. Now Mr. Bond, we expect you to score a goal. Dr. Kong-no, that's 1.00

00:35:26.620 ridiculous, that's ridiculous. Alright, there's the front pages. Increasingly 0.99

00:35:29.720 absurd front pages quite enough of that all right all right should we have a look at our poll

00:35:37.420 we did a poll all right just shy of a thousand just ticking up to a thousand votes in we asked

00:35:42.940 you guys is air conditioning right wing oh because that was um a little bit of debate at the end of

00:35:50.800 tail end of last week or over the weekend and monday a few people weirdo leftist reds 0.67

00:36:00.560 traitors enemies of the people were trying to argue that um it is 0.51

00:36:06.960 in britain only in britain though in britain if you're a normal person having air conditioning is

00:36:13.280 the wrong-headed and or sort of uh right wing on in some way

00:36:18.720 the argument being something like there's climate change going on air conditioners use power

00:36:28.320 so if you get air con regardless whether you can pay for it if you get air con or use air con

00:36:35.920 you're damaging the environment and you're some sort of racist right wing bigger something or

00:36:42.160 other it doesn't make any sense obviously does it

00:36:47.200 i think kyle made a video you know kyle kyle benjamin

00:36:50.880 sargon rikad you know him i think he made a video

00:36:54.000 um looking at that uh yasmin alibaba brown 1.00

00:37:00.000 that horrible woman of in i think she's like indian ethnicity but was born and 1.00

00:37:04.880 raised in was it uganda went to uni in uganda didn't 0.98

00:37:08.640 leave uganda till she was in her early 20s and comes came here now she tries to tell us exactly

00:37:13.760 what to do and think what we can or can't do and think but she's the arbiter of all things

00:37:24.240 you're obviously a fifth columnist yasmin fifth columnist

00:37:29.840 go back to where you came from this isn't your country this isn't your country love 0.79

00:37:34.960 trying to tell us oh it's okay for what like india china the rest of the world

00:37:42.000 to have aircon it's okay for institutions like hospitals or whatever but normal people

00:37:50.560 just normal private individuals in britain no that's wrong-headed that's wrong

00:37:54.560 what are you talking about psycho absolute psycho just anything that makes uh that undermines us

00:38:05.740 that hurts us that makes us less comfortable anything anything doesn't have to make sense

00:38:09.420 the argument itself doesn't have to make any sense

00:38:11.160 all right so on our poll is air conditioning right wing only 67 percent of you say no

00:38:21.880 33% of you say yes

00:38:23.940 Surely that's being trolled a bit there

00:38:26.840 I would hope

00:38:27.960 I would think 1.00

00:38:28.560 Amir67 0.99

00:38:32.700 I thought we were teeing it up for you to

00:38:34.700 Give me a good 90% plus on that one

00:38:37.660 Okay

00:38:38.920 Okay

00:38:40.020 Changing mood among the glorious band

00:38:44.140 The Chosen Few

00:38:44.660 33% of you though

00:38:46.560 Why do you think it's right wing

00:38:48.340 Weird

00:38:50.340 all right fine all right let's have a look at we're checking with the ice price of crude don't

00:38:57.580 we most days on the beau show breakfast with beau beau's breakfast club hashtag the real bbc don't

00:39:02.680 you forget about me all right what have we got west texas shy of nine seventy dollars a barrel

00:39:13.320 $69.50 a barrel for West Texas

00:39:16.560 Rent, just over $73 a barrel

00:39:21.020 So much less, significantly, not much

00:39:25.100 But significantly less than when the war with Persia started in February

00:39:32.280 It was around roughly, there isn't just one average number

00:39:36.660 But roughly it was about $78 a barrel at that point in time

00:39:39.880 It's now what, 70 odd

00:39:41.960 does that translate into how much you pay at the pump for your petrol or diesel not really okay

00:39:52.620 let's have a look at some of the other let's have a look at the websites what other stories 0.81

00:39:55.660 were there of note the boss of super dryer is a rapist apparently

00:40:01.520 Why are Gen Z 0.99

00:40:08.180 I won't say Gen Z 0.99

00:40:09.300 Why are Gen Z 0.75

00:40:10.380 Are planning for life 1.00

00:40:12.100 Without state pension

00:40:13.240 Yeah because it's not likely

00:40:15.180 To get one is it

00:40:16.100 Meanwhile 1.00

00:40:18.020 Boomers and their triple lot 1.00

00:40:20.140 They'll spurg out 1.00

00:40:22.440 If there's even a hint

00:40:23.540 A suggestion

00:40:24.080 That they don't get

00:40:24.780 Their triple lot pensions

00:40:25.980 But young people 0.99

00:40:29.200 Staring down the barrel

00:40:29.940 Of not getting one at all

00:40:31.140 why are gen zed are planning for life without a state pension yeah because i probably won't

00:40:34.620 i suspect i in my mid 40s 44 uh don't expect to get a penny for my state pension by the time i

00:40:42.560 reach i can't remember how old it is when you're allowed it used to be 70 i think now it's like

00:40:47.000 75 is even older might be 76 77 every few years they add another year on it

00:40:52.340 by the time i get there i suspect you'll have to be very old like 80 85 or there'll just be

00:41:00.560 no state pension there would just be no state pension because the state is essentially bankrupt

00:41:05.240 and that's for me in my mid-40s if you're young if you're like 22 yeah it's a realistic possibility

00:41:12.700 there just won't be any state pension even though they keep taking money out of your PAYE every year

00:41:17.580 for it every day every month sorry Joel has finally landed his first graduate engineering job after

00:41:24.100 several years of lower paid roles he's in his early 20s living with his parents and works in

00:41:28.740 London in London but instead of splashing the extra cash or saving up for holidays or a house

00:41:33.760 deposit he's decided to squirrel more of it away into his workplace pension well it's only prudent

00:41:38.960 it's not fair it's not is it generations before had it a bit easier a lot easier but yeah I would

00:41:46.060 say that to anyone as well if your work offers you a workplace pension and they say do you want

00:41:51.720 to put any of your money into every month and if you do sort of how much basically put as much as

00:41:56.220 you can in even if you're in your early 20s yeah that's the prudent thing to do it really really

00:42:03.760 is there's no there's it's dumb not to in my opinion like i said if you've ever got access

00:42:10.180 money ever it's just sitting in your bank account you're like well i don't know what to do with it

00:42:15.440 should i should i like buy something with it i've actually got a bit of money wow very few of us

00:42:20.380 Find us in that position

00:42:21.500 Don't we

00:42:21.780 But if you have

00:42:22.460 Put it in

00:42:23.320 At least a cash ISA

00:42:24.560 At least

00:42:26.420 Well meaning

00:42:27.200 That any

00:42:28.600 Capital gains

00:42:30.180 You get on it

00:42:30.680 Isn't taxed

00:42:31.760 Again it's just prudent

00:42:34.260 There's a cap

00:42:36.740 On how much

00:42:37.240 You can put in

00:42:37.900 An ISA

00:42:38.480 Each year

00:42:40.260 If you can

00:42:42.280 Do that

00:42:42.600 Same with any

00:42:43.220 Sort of workplace pension

00:42:44.180 Yeah

00:42:44.440 Because you probably

00:42:45.860 Won't get a state pension

00:42:47.060 I would have thought

00:42:47.780 I would have thought

00:42:50.380 at some point in the 2030s or the 2040s perhaps the 2050s the public purse will be so ridiculously

00:42:59.580 overstretched they'll just say uh i'm afraid that all these different types of people we're just

00:43:06.940 not going to be able to give you a pension when you get to pension age state pension when you get

00:43:10.300 to that age and then after that will be no one gets in that's not fear-mongering i don't think

00:43:20.380 i think that's just what is sort of almost hard baked into everything at the moment

00:43:26.140 meanwhile trump and his family made more than a billion dollars from crypto in first year

00:43:30.860 back in office i think money money breeds money doesn't it always does and there's nothing he

00:43:38.060 hasn't broken the law or anything he's already extremely extremely rich and you invest hundreds

00:43:44.060 of billions of pounds in something and that thing goes up yeah you make a billion boom

00:43:48.140 yeah here we go look us president donald trump made more than a billion or 750 million pounds

00:43:54.240 last year from business dealings in cryptocurrency according to his mandatory financial reports for

00:43:59.340 2025 in a 927 page disclosure he reported 635 million in royalties from a trump meme coin

00:44:06.680 you know i didn't even know and i didn't know there's a trump coin that has plunged in value

00:44:13.460 Since he launched it days before taking office

00:44:15.780 He also reported over $500 million

00:44:18.760 In income from World Liberty Financial

00:44:21.800 A cryptocurrency firm founded by his own sons

00:44:25.000 And the children of his special envoy Steve Wyckoff

00:44:27.980 Trump Jr

00:44:32.100 Donald Trump's son

00:44:33.860 One of Donald Trump's son

00:44:34.940 Trump Jr and Steve Wyckoff

00:44:37.500 Make loads and loads and loads of money

00:44:41.800 Effectively off daddy's

00:44:44.420 Investments

00:44:46.620 There you go, money breeds money

00:44:48.540 It really does

00:44:50.000 It's an old cliche but it's true

00:44:51.620 Once you've got a certain amount of money

00:44:53.820 And you play your cards right

00:44:55.820 It just keeps coming and coming and coming

00:44:58.060 As long as you play your cards right

00:44:59.620 If you know what you're doing

00:45:00.220 Okay

00:45:01.760 He, Donald Trump, earned millions more

00:45:04.900 From real estate and Trump themed items

00:45:07.380 But the White House denied

00:45:09.220 He was profiting from the presidency

00:45:10.720 The earnings from his latest financial disclosure

00:45:17.640 Far outpaced the previous ones for 2024

00:45:20.000 When Trump disclosed over 600 million of income

00:45:23.260 But the White House

00:45:24.280 Which has repeatedly emphasised

00:45:26.160 That Trump has placed his businesses in a trust managed by his sons

00:45:29.580 Again denied any conflict of interest

00:45:32.060 Yeah that's the thing

00:45:34.860 When you become president

00:45:35.800 And other very high offices in the United States

00:45:40.380 I think by law you're not allowed to

00:45:44.420 Like control loads of businesses

00:45:47.100 There's certain things you're just not allowed to do

00:45:48.520 But what you can do is just sign it over to

00:45:50.140 Someone else in your family

00:45:51.340 Like your son

00:45:52.000 Or your son-in-law

00:45:53.380 Or something

00:45:54.600 We'll sign the right papers in the right order

00:45:58.700 And you nominally

00:46:00.300 On paper

00:46:02.800 You control it and you own it

00:46:04.380 And then when I'm out of office again though

00:46:08.280 You can reverse that stuff often

00:46:11.280 Well relatively easy to get around

00:46:15.480 Okay there was a three year old rescued

00:46:18.980 From Venezuela after six days

00:46:21.460 Remarkable

00:46:22.240 You can only imagine this poor child

00:46:24.340 Somehow had access to water

00:46:27.780 Or moisture or liquid in some way

00:46:30.060 You can't survive for six days

00:46:32.040 With no water

00:46:34.580 So six days

00:46:37.760 That's sort of the upper outer limit of being able to save anyone

00:46:40.680 I mean, finding anyone alive

00:46:42.740 Okay, so

00:46:45.420 They're saying there's at least 2,000 people dead

00:46:49.140 And they think maybe as many as

00:46:50.980 It will go up to as many as 10,000 or 10,000 more

00:46:53.880 And there's still 10,000 on top of that

00:46:57.540 That are unaccounted for

00:46:58.940 Bad one

00:47:02.700 Is it too soon to start talking about housing regs?

00:47:07.760 In Venezuela

00:47:08.960 Well it's not too soon, no, no, no, why not?

00:47:11.300 No 0.99

00:47:11.480 Different countries in the world

00:47:14.540 Have got different levels of scrutiny

00:47:17.280 When it comes to building regulations

00:47:19.160 Don't they? 1.00

00:47:22.880 So like Japan for example

00:47:24.200 Well known, famous sort of

00:47:26.560 Place that suffers from earthquakes

00:47:28.940 And they build their buildings

00:47:32.580 As much as possible to be sort of earthquake proof

00:47:34.940 You know

00:47:36.160 Built into the designs of the building

00:47:39.560 To be able to take a quake

00:47:41.940 Unless it's too big

00:47:43.800 Venezuela hadn't done that had it

00:47:49.700 I mean because ever since Chavez

00:47:51.680 They are being communist

00:47:55.060 Ever since Chavez just haven't got the money and resources to do that

00:47:58.920 One of the things communism

00:48:01.080 Even hardline socialism

00:48:02.900 Leads to very very quickly is the cutting of corners

00:48:06.040 If Maoist era China isn't a perfect example of that

00:48:09.140 Harry 0.85

00:48:09.500 That one

00:48:12.680 There's an 18 part series on my history theme channel

00:48:19.760 HistoryBroad talking about Chairman Mao

00:48:22.260 An 18 part series

00:48:23.620 They're like half hour a piece

00:48:27.040 Nine knocking ten hours talking about Chairman Mao

00:48:29.700 Particularly the Great Leap Forward

00:48:31.800 Perfect example of how

00:48:35.660 the economy and everything starts falling apart very very quickly because leftist economic theory

00:48:40.460 is nonsense only leads to collapse so you start cutting corners very quickly whether it's the

00:48:47.700 building of just normal buildings or whether it's a dam whatever it is manufacturing steel

00:48:52.820 whatever it is they just cut corners and it's all slapdash and shoddy it doesn't really work

00:48:57.620 properly net result you have some bad weather you have a flood you have an earthquake

00:49:04.500 put that picture up

00:49:07.300 was this happening in japan

00:49:15.160 no

00:49:15.540 well well done

00:49:19.300 well done maduro

00:49:21.040 brilliant

00:49:22.660 alright

00:49:28.760 terrible shame

00:49:31.220 average completely innocent people of venezuela

00:49:33.620 suffering again because of leftism all right

00:49:39.060 mexico beat ecuador if we beat the democratic republic of congo we might well play mexico

00:49:46.300 that's all i'll say that's all i'll say i'll move on don't worry about it

00:49:48.920 okay uh channel four go with going a bit berserk about the black hole in the spending budget for

00:49:57.840 the military starmer says uk must prepare for war with 15 billion pound defense price

00:50:02.700 Next story, Starmer's £15 billion defence plan

00:50:05.900 Is it enough to protect Britain?

00:50:08.240 Next story, the defence secretary says

00:50:10.420 UK is not lagging behind European neighbours

00:50:12.420 Next story, has the UK learned the wrong lessons

00:50:15.780 from Russia-Ukraine war?

00:50:16.900 And on and on

00:50:17.300 They're going a bit berserk about it

00:50:20.060 Channel 4 News

00:50:20.760 Channel 4 News, the TV equivalent of The Guardian

00:50:23.660 Absolute subversion

00:50:26.240 They hate this country

00:50:27.800 Pure sort of Fabian leftist 0.98

00:50:32.700 Freaks control channel 4

00:50:34.700 Look, there's a big gold statue of Donald Trump holding a Bitcoin

00:50:39.700 How much has he made in crypto in the last year?

00:50:42.700 About a billion dollars

00:50:45.700 This story

00:50:47.700 The male

00:50:49.700 The male group 1.00

00:50:51.700 This is horrible

00:50:53.700 This is just horrible

00:50:54.700 Right, look at this

00:50:55.700 Woman, 31, identified as alligator attack victim

00:50:58.700 Killed after predator ripped off both her arms

00:51:02.700 As nightmarish new detail of her final moments are revealed

00:51:05.240 Imagine the poor family 0.90

00:51:07.480 Friends and family of this woman 0.79

00:51:09.000 It's not bad enough that she got killed

00:51:11.700 By an alligator

00:51:12.980 But you have to see a headline like that

00:51:14.980 Could it be more distressing and humiliating?

00:51:20.400 In Florida, look, look

00:51:21.520 The little thing says

00:51:22.220 A medical examiner's report

00:51:24.260 Obtained by the Daily Mail

00:51:27.280 Has given details about the

00:51:28.600 Okay

00:51:29.800 So the Daily Mail was

00:51:31.840 Shameless enough

00:51:33.740 To go out of their way

00:51:35.880 To find the examiner's

00:51:37.640 Medical examiner's report

00:51:38.920 Shameless enough to do that in the first place

00:51:41.980 Then they found out it was something

00:51:43.620 Particularly gruesome and horrible

00:51:45.440 Which had both their arms ripped off

00:51:47.760 And they're like

00:51:48.820 Print 0.99

00:51:49.660 You disgusting freaks 0.99

00:51:53.740 Yeah, put that top 0.99

00:51:56.020 Yeah, we'll print that

00:51:57.080 We'll go with that

00:51:57.920 And put it top of the website, please

00:52:01.840 Scum 1.00

00:52:06.960 The male group are scum 1.00

00:52:08.720 Absolute filth 1.00

00:52:12.300 Okay

00:52:17.880 Here's a slightly more interesting story

00:52:22.800 As far as I'm concerned

00:52:24.420 Archaeologists claim

00:52:26.760 They may have uncovered ruins

00:52:28.640 Linked to the Ark of the Covenant

00:52:30.380 Not the Ark of the Covenant itself

00:52:31.720 But ruins connected to it

00:52:34.120 Remember the Ark of the Covenant

00:52:35.340 Was only ever supposed to be

00:52:36.640 A box

00:52:37.600 Ornate and or golden

00:52:38.820 As it might be

00:52:39.540 Which held

00:52:40.480 The Ten Commandments

00:52:42.180 That God supposedly gave Moses

00:52:44.940 And the archaeologists in Israel

00:52:49.320 Say there's some place in the West Bank

00:52:51.560 Where they think maybe

00:52:53.580 Maybe it was a building

00:52:54.980 Connected to

00:52:55.740 Not the tabernacle

00:52:56.580 Surely

00:52:57.020 The tabernacle

00:52:58.580 Wouldn't that have been in the first temple

00:53:00.500 In Jerusalem

00:53:01.160 wasn't the first temple destroyed by king nebuchadnezzar ii of babylon in like the 580s bc

00:53:12.240 it just doesn't smell right to me this but okay all right all right should we move on to this

00:53:25.220 day in history while we talk about history should we just move on to that you guys seem to like

00:53:28.120 that I think I quite like doing that bit it's already gone 10-2 all right on this day the 1st

00:53:33.160 of July down through the centuries what happened of note on this day in the year 1690 army of

00:53:40.500 Protestant King William III of Orange defeated deposed Roman Catholic King James II in the

00:53:47.220 back of the Boyne at Old Bridge in Ireland so that's one of those turning points in history 0.50

00:53:52.680 isn't it, where Protestants love it and Catholics hate it. Catholics mourn the

00:54:00.300 Battle of the Boyne and Protestants are like, yeah, go Protestantism. 0.52

00:54:06.840 To make it clear, I'm neither Catholic nor Protestant. Sometimes, whenever I talk about, for example, I've been 0.90

00:54:12.360 doing Henry VIII recently on my history theme show, Bode's Epox, on

00:54:17.640 LotusEaters.com, behind the paywall, do consider to sign up for this £5 a month

00:54:20.460 the Protestant membership we didn't have any experience and of course I'm talking about the

00:54:23.140 Reformation there quite often well a lot the England's break with Rome and the age of Luther

00:54:29.660 and Calvin and all that sort of thing and then I'll talk about it I'll explain the Protestant

00:54:35.180 the Lutheran position Catholics get angry about it like I'm denigrating their religion in some

00:54:41.360 way it's like no I'm just explaining the history calm down I'm not I'm not actually a practicing

00:54:49.320 Christian, either way.

00:54:51.740 So I'm just telling you what the history is. 0.99

00:54:56.180 So there, before Catholics 0.74

00:54:57.500 get up in arms that I'm sort of pro-William

00:54:59.640 of Orange.

00:55:01.580 That I love the Battle of the Boyne 0.97

00:55:03.300 and that the Catholics lost. 1.00

00:55:05.520 It's just what it is. 0.79

00:55:08.260 Okay.

00:55:10.540 Alright, on this day

00:55:11.480 in 1858, a joint reading

00:55:13.440 of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell

00:55:15.380 Wallace, who also came up with

00:55:16.740 almost the exact same idea about evolution

00:55:19.140 as charles darwin at about the same time um the joint reading of their papers on evolution

00:55:25.220 to the linian society renders audience all struck and silent

00:55:31.220 because if you actually read their arguments you actually read them the origin of the species or

00:55:37.300 something or some of the arguments made in the voyage of the beagle i mentioned the voyage of

00:55:41.300 the beagle yesterday didn't i it's fairly difficult to refute it's pretty much stage

00:55:45.380 by stage by stage each thing you can't really refute

00:55:53.060 like for example the in the voyage of the beak there's a lot about like the different

00:55:58.180 beaks of birds how different birds have got a different design a different shape of beak

00:56:04.740 for different things and where they're found in the world and you can show that look this

00:56:10.020 beak changed into this slightly different shape because of this reason and on and on and then

00:56:14.980 then you extrapolate that out anyway audiences were rendered all struck and silent okay on this

00:56:21.140 day in 1863 the battle of gettysburg ah great set piece fascinated by the american civil war

00:56:26.880 i've said it a number of times i'll mention it again my first ever video like what knocking 10

00:56:31.660 years ago eight nine ten years ago my first ever video on the internet on history bro was about

00:56:36.760 the civil war american civil war the battle of gettysburg begins in pennsylvania union forces

00:56:43.100 Holt Confederate General Robert E. Lee

00:56:45.540 Granny Lee

00:56:46.420 That's a term of endearment by the way

00:56:48.520 His army in Northern Virginia 0.91

00:56:52.280 It was the last time the South

00:56:54.060 Penetrated into

00:56:55.820 The territory of

00:56:58.280 What was supposed to be held by the Union

00:57:00.400 I've got so much

00:57:02.760 I've got really long form content about

00:57:04.780 Ulysses S. Grant

00:57:06.500 I've got content about Lincoln

00:57:11.920 got content about various things to do with the civil war of course gettysburg it's sort of the

00:57:17.840 turning point is something like the parallel isn't perfected by any stretch but something like

00:57:22.300 stalingrad where you know in world war ii the nazis after stalingrad never held the

00:57:27.400 sort of strategic momentum ever again it's the same with gettysburg after gettysburg the

00:57:31.800 confederates are were never able to sort of take the war to the union again because that's what

00:57:37.460 they had been doing in the shenandoah valley in northern virginia all over the place there's the

00:57:41.660 armies of the south were able to sort of punch the the north after gettberg all that was finished

00:57:48.840 really well because in the end it was a win for the union and for the north

00:57:54.940 shelby foot the great shelby foot the late great historian shelby foot said that the union fought

00:58:03.780 that war with one arm tied behind its back if he said this if the south had won more battlefield

00:58:11.160 victories and a lot more then the union the north would simply have take that taken that other arm

00:58:17.880 out from behind its back and gone on a full war footing and shelby foot who knows his stuff one

00:58:23.560 of the greatest civil war historians ever to have lived said that the south never really had a

00:58:29.160 realistic chance to win that war perhaps after bull run the first battle of bull run at the very

00:58:34.040 very manassas at the very very beginning of the war the very very beginning maybe the south could

00:58:39.720 have taken Washington, but I mean, the industrial output of New York State was many times more

00:58:47.300 than the whole of the South. The North had more men, more resources, more industry, more

00:58:55.480 money, by a long way. Okay, all right, Gettysburg, one of the greatest battles in the American

00:59:05.480 civil war okay on this day in 1867 the dominion of canada is formed comprising the provinces

00:59:13.480 of new brunswick nova scotia ontario and quebec with john a mcdonald serving as the first prime

00:59:19.560 minister there you go so to this day they've still got like the king or the queen on their money

00:59:25.400 aren't they they're still part of the commonwealth canada okay but they were given basically

00:59:29.000 Largely, almost entirely, independence

00:59:33.720 Back in the 19th century

00:59:36.820 Alright, on this day in 1916

00:59:39.500 First day of the Battle of the Somme in World War I

00:59:41.560 The British Army suffers its worst day ever, that is

00:59:45.540 Worst day ever in terms of casualties

00:59:47.000 Losing 19,240 men

00:59:49.560 That's dead, that's dead

00:59:50.700 Casualties, it was more like 60,000

00:59:53.260 60,000 battlefield casualties in one day

00:59:59.000 The worst day for the British Army

01:00:01.460 I mean the surrender at Singapore

01:00:05.020 Was pretty bad

01:00:06.460 But here's like

01:00:07.080 The actual casualties

01:00:09.180 Astronomical

01:00:10.880 Try and take pressure off Verdun

01:00:14.980 I've got loads of content

01:00:15.880 All about World War I

01:00:16.840 Loads

01:00:17.640 Did a whole mini-series about Verdun

01:00:21.680 Was it at the end of last year?

01:00:26.080 The SOM in some ways

01:00:27.620 on sort of the grand strategic level

01:00:29.100 was to try to take pressure off of Verdun

01:00:30.960 force the Germans to move divisions

01:00:32.620 away from the Verdun front

01:00:33.900 up to the Somme front

01:00:35.340 but it's just

01:00:37.280 1916

01:00:38.960 the battles of 1916

01:00:40.280 was already

01:00:41.620 1914 or 15

01:00:43.360 seemed like the worst

01:00:44.600 most catastrophic

01:00:46.000 thing humans could do to each other

01:00:49.240 and then 1916

01:00:50.240 it just ramps up

01:00:51.240 orders of magnitude

01:00:53.700 more

01:00:54.720 Yeah, the Somme

01:00:57.660 First day at the Battle of the Somme

01:00:59.080 Crazy, crazy thing

01:01:01.420 No more brother wars, that's what I say

01:01:05.220 On this day in 1997

01:01:08.820 The United Kingdom returns Hong Kong

01:01:10.500 And the new territories to People's Republic of China

01:01:12.640 Didn't they say that yesterday?

01:01:15.540 Maybe yesterday was the signing of it

01:01:17.320 And today was the actual day

01:01:18.620 When it actually formally happened

01:01:21.120 Anyway

01:03:51.340 A Man for All Seasons

01:03:52.720 Which is all about Thomas More and Henry VIII

01:03:55.340 And we broke it down

01:04:11.960 Okay

01:04:13.120 Geoffrey Fernall says

01:04:15.260 Reform want a general election because they've peaked

01:04:17.920 It was that way didn't it

01:04:20.320 If they were a Tory government

01:04:21.780 They'd call an election if there was an R in the month

01:04:24.740 Labour and Burnham are going to hold on for dear life

01:04:27.720 Yeah I would have thought so

01:04:28.380 Burnham's basically ruled it out it seems

01:04:30.200 Almost certainly

01:04:30.900 Made a number of noises that he's not going to call a general election

01:04:33.680 He's just going to hold on for dear life

01:04:36.680 Just sit there like a cuckoo in the nest 1.00

01:04:38.440 A man without a mandate 0.97

01:04:40.140 The messiah without a mandate 0.96

01:04:42.140 Okay

01:04:46.160 PicDog5150 says

01:04:48.020 Limit of permissibility

01:04:51.180 Amongst the populace

01:04:52.760 Two year old baby

01:04:54.280 Raped and killed by invader

01:04:55.760 Little girl slashed 0.99

01:04:57.200 One over a hundred times 1.00

01:05:00.820 What is the limit?

01:05:02.900 It's depressing

01:05:03.540 Where is the justice?

01:05:05.400 Jesus help us

01:05:06.120 Yeah

01:05:06.480 So for these people

01:05:07.560 Open borders

01:05:09.180 Psychos

01:05:10.020 There is no limit

01:05:11.280 There is no limit

01:05:13.340 You'll mention a litany

01:05:16.680 An actual laundry list

01:05:18.780 Of atrocities and crimes

01:05:20.260 They don't care

01:05:21.080 They'll just accuse you of 0.99

01:05:23.980 Reciting that laundry list

01:05:26.240 You're being divisive

01:05:27.700 That's the problem that you've noticed and talk about it

01:05:29.760 There's no limit

01:05:30.480 There's no limit

01:05:32.020 You must just accept it

01:05:37.300 The limit of permissibility

01:05:42.360 Among the general populace though, that's the question you asked

01:05:46.260 There will be a limit, won't there?

01:05:49.300 It's actually a pressure cooker, isn't it?

01:05:51.940 They're desperately trying to keep the lid on the pressure cooker

01:05:54.260 It's threatening to blow up at all times

01:05:56.500 But the ones that defend it, leftists

01:06:00.700 People like, I don't know, Owen Jones

01:06:05.580 Or that 0.82

01:06:08.040 Debonair woman 1.00

01:06:16.720 All of them

01:06:18.100 The people at Hope Not Hate

01:06:19.340 Or the Running Me Trust

01:06:20.180 People that are the editors

01:06:21.640 For The Guardian

01:06:22.260 Or The Metro

01:06:22.720 Whatever

01:06:23.160 All these people

01:06:23.800 There's no limit

01:06:24.680 You can only surmise

01:06:28.920 It's what they want

01:06:30.000 That they're happy

01:06:31.220 They're gleeful about it

01:06:32.360 Rhiannon White's murder

01:06:36.440 They're like, oh, well 0.99

01:06:37.380 Don't question diversity though

01:06:43.480 It's horrible, isn't it? 1.00

01:06:48.820 We're dealing with an implacable

01:06:50.560 Evil enemy

01:06:52.280 Both evil and implacable 0.98

01:06:54.200 Right

01:06:59.240 The next four, five, six

01:07:02.160 seven eight the next eight are all from luke stewart so i'll whip through them if you don't

01:07:09.560 mind um because i've got to do more recording today i can't be here till sort of half past

01:07:14.040 nine quarter ten right luke street 91 st luke luke stewart says oil is going to skyrocket in 0.88

01:07:21.280 australia they've decided to bring back part of the fuel tax horrible stupidly insane we have

01:07:28.220 something similar superannuation nine percent of our earnings go into it i guess you're talking

01:07:33.540 about a pension i'm convinced the government's going to start taxing it because they're running 1.00

01:07:38.620 out of money to pay their immigrant pets yeah exactly like here exactly like here they'll rob 0.89

01:07:43.380 you of the money you've paid in for a state pension to give to your invaders the injustice 0.99

01:07:49.480 of it funny they haven't talked about nancy pelosi pelosi and all the democrats that made

01:07:54.640 their money through investments and stocks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They get a moan about Trump

01:07:58.300 or Trump's children and stepchildren making money legitimately. Not a peep about Nancy

01:08:07.380 and Paul Pelosi. Oh, Paul Pelosi is one of the greatest all-time stock pickers of all

01:08:13.560 time. He outperforms true geniuses like Warren Buffett or something. He's one of the greatest

01:08:22.460 stock pickers of false time

01:08:23.600 Paul Pelosi

01:08:28.780 his financial acumen

01:08:32.240 is just razor sharp

01:08:33.980 that's all that is

01:08:35.140 certainly not that you got any sort of

01:08:37.620 inside information from Nancy

01:08:39.300 no

01:08:40.160 that didn't happen

01:08:42.420 sure

01:08:45.420 Paul Pelosi can just basically see the future

01:08:47.900 that's how good he is

01:08:48.840 he can see into the future essentially

01:08:51.860 All right

01:08:56.120 I forget if it was China Uncensored

01:09:00.300 Or the China Show was talking about this a lot

01:09:03.540 Of the other buildings did poorly

01:09:05.220 Where Chinese construction 0.98

01:09:06.900 Google Tofu Drag

01:09:09.620 For more information

01:09:10.940 You're talking about all the buildings that fall down in Venezuela

01:09:13.960 Fell down in Venezuela 1.00

01:09:15.340 A lot of them were built by the Chinese in some way 1.00

01:09:17.800 Interesting, I've not heard of that before

01:09:19.560 Interesting

01:09:21.220 It's not as bad now

01:09:23.880 Nowadays

01:09:24.640 But back before the 1980s 0.99

01:09:27.800 China's

01:09:30.200 Building of things 0.96

01:09:32.440 Was pure clown shoes

01:09:34.160 Absolute clown shoes

01:09:36.220 Back in the 50s and 60s

01:09:38.580 They insisted on making their own steel

01:09:41.140 And the steel was insanely poor

01:09:43.600 The quality of it

01:09:44.460 And then they'd build loads of things out of it

01:09:46.280 And they'd just fall down all the time

01:09:47.820 I don't know if there was an earthquake or a flood or anything

01:09:49.940 okay luke again i wonder if they realize that britain can't can't draft the native population

01:09:58.640 because they'll just be arming their own insurrection force they can only be able to 0.85

01:10:03.760 pull from migrants women and then homosexuals use a different word but for t's and c's i'll 0.97

01:10:09.980 just say homosexuals um yeah a bit like in germany where germany said uh we don't want to 0.97

01:10:18.180 just give loads of people whether they're migrants or not we don't want to just give them loads of

01:10:21.940 arms the implication being that they'll be turned against them at some point possibly 1.00

01:10:27.380 for endlessly trying to ruin the country all right the last one from luke here says i hope they do

01:10:33.800 find the ark of the covenant we can open it and get rid of a lot of problems by forcing certain

01:10:38.880 people to keep their eyes open like in clockwork orange so that's a mash up there of raiders of

01:10:46.100 the lost ark and clockwork orange i know i doesn't know harry do you know raiders of the

01:10:51.320 lost ark i know of it okay you're not aware of the scene at the end where if there's evil in

01:11:00.620 your heart and you look at the ark of the covenant you melt your face melts and burns away oh yeah

01:11:05.660 yeah okay if you look at it so in in clockwork orange they had those special things that keep

01:11:11.700 your eyeballs open. Luke Strip says we can solve a lot of our problems that way. Okay,

01:11:20.440 quite funny. And the last three rumble rants for today are all from Pigdog5150 again. You

01:11:26.400 say, traitors in the US Supreme Court failed, failed re-day of voting and birthright citizenship,

01:11:34.280 failed with regards to day of voting and birthright citizenship. Yeah, that was another one they did

01:11:39.420 about late postal ballots the supreme court said no that's allowed i think that was the case

01:11:45.740 supposedly any of those details are so slightly wrong but they said something like no that's

01:11:49.980 allowed it's like western government the once open rebellion it feels like isn't it they're

01:11:59.500 goading people they're goading the general populace just keep poking us how much will you take

01:12:06.380 Pink Dog again says, Fat Sam's Grand Slam, banger, I sung a tiny bit of that didn't I earlier, did I? I think I did

01:12:15.080 Fat Sam's Grand Slam, speakeasy, Fat Sam's Grand Slam, banger

01:12:21.800 We could have been anything that we wanted to be, another hit, yeah, Bugs and Malone, anyone who hasn't watched it

01:12:27.840 Great film, Bugs and Malone, usually I don't like musicals, there's only a few exceptions

01:12:32.800 Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

01:12:33.940 I like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

01:12:35.000 A lot of musicals I don't like particularly

01:12:37.480 Most of them

01:12:38.860 Bugsy Malone is an exception

01:12:40.780 Bugsy Malone's well good

01:12:42.440 I reckon

01:12:43.980 Okay

01:12:45.360 Pig Dog again says

01:12:46.780 Not forgetting tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow

01:12:49.880 That's another song from Bugsy Malone

01:12:51.720 Pig Dog's obviously a massive Bugsy Malone fan

01:12:54.120 I like it, I dig it

01:12:55.660 As they say

01:12:58.280 Another working day and another chore tomorrow

01:13:00.260 An awful price to pay

01:13:01.460 I gave up one yesterday, but they still want more.

01:13:03.860 Yeah, it's one of the sad, slower ones from Bugs and Malone, isn't it?

01:13:08.420 Okay.

01:13:09.720 And the final one here, again from PicDog, says,

01:13:12.660 If the crazy leftists reject aircon and the same right wing accept it,

01:13:19.120 then is it right wing?

01:13:26.080 Okay, yeah, sorry.

01:13:27.420 The right wing, left wing thing.

01:13:29.660 Okay.

01:13:29.840 And so let's do our YouTube superchats

01:13:33.400 Harry you need to bring that up

01:13:34.960 And you have the power

01:13:36.100 Unlimited power

01:13:38.500 Oh there you is

01:13:40.340 You've done it

01:13:40.640 Okay thank you

01:13:41.240 Thank you

01:13:42.260 Quite a few here

01:13:43.680 20 odd

01:13:44.620 15, 20 odd

01:13:45.460 Okay let's do them

01:13:46.560 Our Rob or Ross

01:13:48.880 Says read the poll

01:13:49.860 Air conditioning isn't right wing

01:13:51.340 In and of itself

01:13:52.320 It's common sense

01:13:53.620 And in today's world

01:13:54.660 That makes it de facto right wing

01:13:56.360 Right yeah

01:13:56.720 I mean yeah that is sort of the

01:13:57.720 Sort of the angle is it

01:13:58.700 It's like

01:13:59.160 They'll try to make the argument

01:14:01.540 That maths is right wing

01:14:04.180 And bigoted and racist 0.58

01:14:05.500 Maths 0.75

01:14:06.940 Being on time

01:14:10.560 Is bigoted and racist

01:14:13.680 And right wing 0.98

01:14:14.740 Having air con

01:14:18.060 You might think I've just made that up

01:14:19.160 That that's so absurd

01:14:20.340 No, a year or two ago

01:14:23.060 There was articles to that effect

01:14:25.140 using the right tool for the right job is racist and right wing

01:14:34.020 absolutely insane right user and then just a whole string of letters and numbers

01:14:44.060 so their name is just user says yes give ukraine money let them fight the russians for you or do

01:14:52.720 you want your friends and family to get drafted into a larger european war i completely reject

01:14:57.400 the entire framing of what you're talking about there i don't accept any of that now we shouldn't

01:15:02.260 give ukraine money we shouldn't make anyone else fight russians and i don't think that our friends

01:15:10.080 and family are going to be drafted into a larger european war because i don't buy the narrative

01:15:14.200 that mr putin wants to invade belarus and poland and whatever and the the baltics and in east

01:15:21.600 to Germany. No, I completely reject. Thanks for the $5 there, user, but I just completely

01:15:27.160 reject everything you're saying there. I think it's nonsense. I think you've bought into

01:15:30.500 a liar. Okay, Mr. Dickie Bingo says, Stalin will be living and working in the EU and getting

01:15:39.660 drafted by a van der Leyen well before a bum ham has his slippers under the bed at number

01:15:44.840 10 yeah Stalin as in Keir Stalin Starmer he'll be working at the EU yeah there's a story all the

01:15:55.100 other day about that Starmer Starmer's people were making noises that they want him to be the next

01:16:02.060 leader of NATO he's currently Mark that Mark Rutger guy wasn't it he used to be the Prime

01:16:06.780 Minister of Holland the Netherlands the Netherlands um but he'll have to retire or move on at some

01:16:14.420 point and keir starmer wants that job it's a weird mismatch isn't it that one of the main reasons his

01:16:21.420 government finally fails because he's not spending enough on defense he's not a hawk is he starmer

01:16:27.980 far from a war hawk and that is part of the role to be the head of nato is to be very very hawkish

01:16:34.640 all the time is that a good fit for starmer okay but he'll probably get a whole number of sweet

01:16:40.300 jobs perhaps at the eu yeah see you love him because he does their bidding because he's a

01:16:45.200 wef puppy isn't he um but even failing that if you've been prime minister you can easily go to

01:16:51.940 some massive company some massive multinational you know whether it's exxon or bp or boeing or

01:16:58.280 whatever bae systems any some giant company jp morgan just say you put me on your board as a

01:17:06.160 special advisor and just pay me millions of pounds a year and I don't do very much at all

01:17:10.520 simple okay Aristotle Luton says all right Bo all right rumors of a coup against Zelensky oh I

01:17:22.220 haven't seen that recently in the news is there okay I'll have to see about that I'll look into

01:17:28.400 that today see if it makes any of the legacy corporate mainstream media tomorrow but I'll

01:17:32.760 look into that you just say rumors though who knows sometimes things happen on twitter and they

01:17:39.040 are just just not real that is definitely a thing as well isn't it a lot of breaking news real news

01:17:44.760 breaks on twitter but there's also a lot of ball plot as well isn't there we shall see that's

01:17:50.760 interesting though if you say even if there's rumors it's interesting isn't it all right we

01:17:54.240 Catcora7805 says

01:18:40.220 allowed to go to that last tommy rally she was prevented from joining the country and she

01:18:44.440 threatened to cross the channel on a small boat and then if they tried to prosecute her in any 0.73

01:18:51.540 way or anything she would take them to court or something was that right I can't remember

01:18:54.080 all right but if that Polish MP were actually going to sue Keir Starmer himself

01:19:37.000 Lothar Sheffield

01:19:38.260 Says

01:19:38.540 July the 1st

01:19:39.540 110th anniversary

01:19:40.700 Of the Somme

01:19:41.240 So many books

01:19:42.560 A starter

01:19:43.420 Martin Middlebrook

01:19:44.720 Oh, yeah, he loves his World War I stuff.

01:19:46.700 Lofa. Loves it.

01:19:49.100 Martin Middlebrook, first day of the Somme.

01:19:51.500 Epochs, please. 1.00

01:19:52.780 I'll send you an Ottoman land for a hair transplant. 0.99

01:19:56.840 I'll send you to Ottoman land, Turkey, for hair transplant. 0.96

01:19:59.620 You can get cheap hair transplants in Turkey. 0.96

01:20:02.800 Many have.

01:20:05.480 I was going to name a few names there, but I won't.

01:20:10.080 An Epochs on the Somme.

01:20:11.640 Yeah, well, I probably will do at some point.

01:20:14.060 but when i did i think i've said this for when i did my long like well it wasn't that long four

01:20:18.840 or five part series on verdun at the end of last year was it it was like one of the most gruelling

01:20:25.000 set of epochs i've ever done it was it was quite it was because some of them are easier and even

01:20:32.800 fun to do an epochs i already know everything really about it and i just i just read a little

01:20:38.160 bit more to brush up get a few quotes and it's kind of simplicity just to do an hour talking

01:20:43.220 about something or other but for that Verdun one it required loads and loads and loads and loads

01:20:47.820 of reading in order to do it justice and it was so harrowing and it was an exercise in leaving

01:20:52.820 loads of stuff out because even though I did four or five parts that's like four or five hours worth

01:20:57.820 of or more of content you still got to leave so much out of that story because there's so much

01:21:02.840 that could be said about Verdun so it became an exercise in leaving out loads of stuff

01:21:06.980 and that was difficult that was hard that was hard work and it would be exactly the same with

01:21:12.500 talking about the song wouldn't it you've got to do more than one episode on it because there's so

01:21:18.000 much that can be said or should be said about it i'll do it at some point because it's such an

01:21:22.640 important part of british history the song the battle of the song i will do it at some point but

01:21:26.680 not anytime soon that verdun one really took energy loads and loads of time and energy

01:21:33.080 but i will do it at some point okay next one ljmv says beau you magnificent man

01:21:42.500 thank you here's some tea money oh and that's it they just give a little bit of money for

01:21:51.580 thank you very much very kind of you very very kind of you okay uh where's my mouse

01:21:57.920 it's gone awol there it is okay and we've got another oh god got another dozen or more

01:22:03.440 i'll get through them here user again said the left is naive about islam and immigration well 0.99

01:22:09.260 that's true. I gave you a bit of scolding a moment ago, but that is true. The right about 1.00

01:22:14.380 the threat of Russia and China. China, I'll give you that one. Why? Because accepting 0.99

01:22:20.720 how bad things are is too much. It's a much more reasonable thing to say. I mean, it's

01:22:28.760 not that I'm pro-Russia. A number of times I've said Russia is a strategic threat to 0.61

01:22:34.340 Britain. Putin himself is a gangster and a murderer. He makes his critics disappear. 1.00

01:22:42.420 He poisons them to death, or they just disappear, or they fall out of a window.

01:22:47.980 He's not a good guy. Russia is a strategic enemy of Britain. Remember not that long ago,

01:22:54.700 a few months ago, Russia released some sort of social media video about their new nuke.

01:23:03.340 they've got a new nuke and to illustrate just digitally just with ai generated images to

01:23:10.620 illustrate how big the blast would be they made it look like what if we dropped a bomb on downing

01:23:16.680 street yeah that's real that's not just made up they did that i know it's only a small

01:23:23.500 it's only a small thing it's only an ai generated thing but it's like really he chose to do that 0.63

01:23:29.220 So Russia is a threat 0.95

01:23:31.780 And China, yeah, I'm one of those people 0.99

01:23:33.280 If you watch the Bo Show regularly 1.00

01:23:35.060 I bang the drum about how China is a threat 1.00

01:23:37.740 A real threat 0.99

01:23:38.340 I don't think the right played down 0.99

01:23:43.300 The China threat all that much

01:23:44.820 I don't see many on the right

01:23:46.140 Saying calm down, China are really our friends

01:23:48.840 It's more on the left that does that, isn't it?

01:23:51.500 It's the left that do that

01:23:52.300 But yeah, the point you make there about

01:23:55.680 How bad things are

01:23:58.520 it's just too much yeah yeah sort of a fair point okay tatum says what would you do if a giant bird

01:24:07.240 same one that got harry yesterday was circling above you and your entire commute to work

01:24:14.600 an omen or just horrifying a giant bird would be scared it would be scary

01:24:20.560 Some sort of giant pterosaur

01:24:24.140 Or just like an eagle

01:24:27.580 But its wingspan was like 60 feet

01:24:29.720 And its talons

01:24:31.440 Would just easily, easily pluck you off the ground

01:24:36.140 And its beak is like the size of a T-Rex head 0.98

01:24:39.740 And just rip you to shreds 0.67

01:24:41.660 Yeah, it would be horrifying 0.99

01:24:45.120 Yeah, it would be

01:24:48.000 I would duck indoors

01:24:51.080 As quickly as possible

01:24:51.700 If I saw that

01:24:52.240 It's like what

01:24:52.600 What

01:24:53.420 Yeah I'm getting undercover

01:24:55.040 Until it goes away

01:25:09.020 On me

01:25:09.620 I suppose

01:25:09.940 The typo there

01:25:11.040 The most effect

01:25:12.320 It's had on me

01:25:12.900 Is increasing my will 0.93

01:25:14.080 To have Yasmin 0.78

01:25:26.800 Twenties 0.85

01:25:27.160 Yeah

01:25:29.480 We wouldn't want to break up her family either

01:25:32.440 Would we? 0.95

01:25:34.380 Don't break up families

01:25:35.420 Or they can all go 0.93

01:25:38.260 Erwin Romulus

01:25:40.480 Says Aircon is right wing

01:25:42.420 In the same way that VA engines and stakes

01:25:44.780 Are, right, yeah

01:25:45.760 We love them but the left are too concerned

01:25:48.620 About polar bears and virtue signalling

01:25:54.540 Completely bigoted 0.99

01:28:04.280 then well i haven't i haven't seen the trailer or even heard of it a new film is it called werewolf

01:28:08.760 if it's done by the northman it would be quite good i watched that i watched the northman long

01:28:14.500 after it came out eventually got around to watching it um i thought it was pretty good it was pretty

01:28:19.240 good one of the best things about it was the cinematography it looks great right i'm not sure

01:28:24.120 if the story was amazing the acting was quite good dialogue on me it's an all right film it's

01:28:30.660 totally worth watching but the cinematography was very very good wasn't it it looked great

01:28:34.420 so if they're making the same dudes making a werewolf film

01:29:55.260 And then I saw on Twitter 1.00

01:29:56.700 You did do it

01:29:57.280 You filmed yourself doing it

01:29:58.480 And put it on Twitter

01:29:59.320 Brilliant

01:30:00.140 Well done

01:30:00.680 Brave

01:30:01.240 Amazing

01:30:01.660 You know

01:30:03.060 It won't come to anything

01:30:03.940 I'm sure

01:30:04.460 It's not like the police

01:30:05.620 It's not like the CPS

01:30:06.820 Will be like

01:30:07.200 Right we're prosecuting

01:30:08.240 All the governments

01:30:08.940 From Tony Blair

01:30:09.600 But still

01:30:11.280 It's a statement isn't it

01:30:13.080 It's a proper statement

01:30:14.280 Well done

01:30:16.940 Good on you

01:30:17.460 Try and push back

01:30:19.280 Where we can

01:30:20.120 Try and push back

01:30:21.000 Where we can

01:30:21.540 Yeah

01:30:23.560 good for you brother all right the last two then tatum 2733 says but the bird is obviously

01:30:31.600 following you what then yeah i'll just duck inside i'll never shop or anything i'll run

01:30:36.720 back home i'll just get undercover as quickly as possible that's what i would do it'll be

01:30:42.580 terrifying it's a giant bird some sort of eagle it's 10 times bigger than a normal eagle and it's

01:30:48.800 hovering over you and obviously following you yeah i i run and hide

01:30:53.260 in any fight where you can't win run away

01:30:58.580 classic whether it's a street fight or something there's three four guys trying to beat you up at

01:31:06.220 once and you're on your own run away there's a guy with a knife and you're unarmed just run away

01:31:10.220 there's nothing cowardly about that never fight a fight you cannot win and that's an axiom that

01:31:18.400 goes for war when um uh the red baron in world war one the german flying ace

01:31:24.280 when he had got um a great number of kills mid-air kills and a general asked him said

01:31:36.600 how have you done what's your secret what's your secret how you've won so many combats and not

01:31:40.900 been killed so you want to scale that up on for the army on the western front in the ground

01:31:44.940 And von Richthofen said

01:31:48.220 You won't like the answer

01:31:49.260 And the general's like

01:31:50.000 No tell me

01:31:50.480 And Richthofen said

01:31:51.400 Well

01:31:51.680 Whenever I think I can't win

01:31:53.960 I just fly away

01:31:54.960 Nothing cowardly about it

01:32:00.720 It's prudent

01:32:01.260 Do you want to live

01:32:02.440 To fight another day

01:32:05.120 Well then don't fight a fight

01:32:06.680 You cannot win

01:32:07.460 That would go for a giant eagle

01:32:10.760 Ten times bigger than a normal eagle

01:32:12.180 If it was following you

01:32:13.100 And hovering over you

01:32:13.880 Run away, run away

01:32:16.460 Like brave, brave Sir Robin

01:32:20.020 Just run away

01:32:39.180 It's right, it fits well

01:32:40.660 That's the main thing, right

01:32:41.560 If you buy a blazer

01:32:43.520 Unless it just happens to fit perfectly

01:32:46.180 Unless it's tailored to you

01:32:47.600 Unless it fits perfectly

01:32:49.380 Go to a tailor and just get it taken in slightly here or there

01:32:52.180 So it fits right
