00:00:08.840 It is now Wednesday.

00:00:11.480 Crazy, alright, it's gone fast, hasn't it?

00:00:12.720 Feels like it's gone really fast for me.

00:00:14.360 Feels like it was the weekend, like, five seconds ago.

00:01:07.440 Right, shall we just jump straight into it then

00:01:10.880 No further ado, let's stop mucking about

00:01:12.840 What is the legacy corporate mainstream media

00:01:15.500 Banging on about this morning

00:01:16.940 What are they lying to you about by omission

00:01:20.460 Because that's what they do every single day of the year without fail

00:01:24.420 What's that cabal of evil

00:01:27.780 Truly evil Fleet Street editors

00:01:30.100 Trying to pretend is or isn't important

00:01:33.940 Alright, we've got

00:01:35.060 We're on the front pages

00:01:36.440 US troops gather in golf

00:01:39.820 The golf region

00:01:41.560 Not a golf club

00:01:42.800 And strictly no BAFTAs

00:01:45.400 Strictly come dancing

00:01:46.340 Didn't get nominated for any BAFTAs

00:01:48.260 Big news

00:01:49.600 Alright

00:01:50.320 The iPaper

00:01:51.540 We'll read the blurb on the iPaper

00:01:53.960 Because it's probably about the best thing you get

00:01:55.280 Out of Fleet Street, isn't it?

00:01:56.580 Probably like the best

00:01:57.280 closest thing to normal reporting and journalism is the blurb they put on the front of the iPaper

00:02:01.860 US troops gather in Gulf, or are beginning to rather

00:02:05.720 as Trump's deadline nears, military build-up

00:02:09.820 raises possibility of battle to gain control of Straits of Hormuz

00:02:13.760 sorry

00:02:21.480 it's going to bug me, I guess

00:02:23.700 oh, forget it

00:02:27.280 Alright, Pentagon deployed 3,000, if you're only just listening, you're not watching, there's a bit of fluff on my lapel, it's bugging me, it won't budge, okay, move on, Pentagon deploying 3,000 airborne troops, probably the 82nd airborne now of Fort Bragg, Green Berets out of Fort Bragg, what the hell were they doing here, Dylan?

00:02:48.340 Pentagon deploys 3,000 airborne troops to Gulf

00:02:58.360 Giving Trump options to escalate Iran war

00:03:01.620 2,200 US Marines will arrive on Friday

00:03:04.300 With a second unit of 2,500 ordered to head to Gulf

00:03:09.000 Decision to put boots on the ground in Iran

00:03:11.960 Still not made, well

00:03:13.360 amid confusion over the true state of talks between tehran and washington yeah we'll get

00:03:21.720 into that today that's sort of one of the main things today in the news is the exact

00:03:25.080 degree to which trump is or maybe not talking to anyone in iran and who is he talking to and

00:03:30.920 what they're saying key war objective for us now is reopening shipping lane breaking iran's

00:03:38.200 stranglehold and avoiding world world energy crisis quote worse than 1970s quote

00:03:43.960 iran regime fears ceasefire may be a trap and attacks israel kuwait bahrain and saudi arabia

00:03:53.440 as military vows to fight quote until complete victory quote that's the iranians saying that

00:03:59.060 they'll fight until complete victory oil traders oil trade some oil mystery oil traders bet 580

00:04:06.100 million dollars minutes before trump's iran update in unusually timed deals yeah we talked

00:04:13.340 about that yesterday didn't we talked about that yesterday oh my god that's gonna bug me so much

00:04:17.820 what is that that's gonna i've got to just move on i've got to get over it

00:04:29.160 a bit of fluff and mine will help

00:04:31.000 okay

00:04:31.420 so big things there

00:04:36.220 loads of big things

00:04:37.160 basically one of the main stories

00:04:40.280 is if and when troops are going

00:04:42.500 to put there'll be some limited boots

00:04:44.560 on the ground in Persia

00:04:45.920 from the United States' point of view

00:04:47.700 yeah so

00:04:50.380 5,000 marines

00:04:52.800 not royal marines

00:04:54.320 US marines something in the order of

00:04:56.340 5,000 US marines

00:04:58.480 and maybe a few thousand airball like 82nd airball parachute dudes 0.99

00:05:05.440 so with the best willing world that is limited isn't it that's very limited

00:05:11.720 maybe taking particular islands or a tiny bit of the coastline in and around the tightest bit of

00:05:17.420 the straits of hormones or that karg island which is much more northerly in the persian gulf isn't

00:05:22.260 it's much more um so yeah i mean reporting they're saying that the decision hasn't been made well

00:05:30.900 i don't know about that they they probably wouldn't send them otherwise

00:05:40.980 they always say that don't they like in in the ramps this war in the run up to a whole

00:05:45.460 bunch of different us actions throughout the years until that until it's go time

00:05:52.260 They say, no, we haven't made a decision, but you know they have, though.

00:05:55.900 You know, like, in the run-up to this one, for example, just for example,

00:05:59.120 putting an aircraft carrier in the Gulf of Aden

00:06:01.300 and sending loads and loads of mid-air refuelling tanker aeroplanes.

00:06:06.400 And people see that, notice it,

00:06:09.400 and the Pentagon, Hexeth or something, gets asked,

00:06:12.040 and they're like, no, no decision has been made.

00:06:13.840 Yes, it has. Obviously it has. Obviously it has.

00:06:17.480 I would wager that it's the same thing here.

00:06:20.540 No decision has been made.

00:06:22.260 really that's why you're mobilizing and sending 5 000 plus guys to the region probably has

00:06:29.760 probably has been made okay do you remember yesterday we talked about those uh unusual

00:06:34.520 oil trades i think that was an interesting story and now a fair bit of the mainstream

00:06:40.060 media picked up on that um in fact in fact before we go on with i think there's is it

00:06:45.980 Yeah, the Mail Online leads with it, in fact.

00:06:50.500 Look, so who's cashing in from Trump's war?

00:06:54.020 Mystery traders who made millions in just minutes before Peace Hope's post.

00:06:59.140 And so, look, they've got a little graphic there to make it perfectly clear exactly what's going on.

00:07:02.980 Look, at that dotted line, that's when Trump posted his post.

00:07:09.600 And the trading activity spikes on the back of it, massively.

00:07:13.820 But what's that? What's that little bit?

00:07:16.000 It's this spike that they're talking about.

00:07:18.260 It's that little spike there.

00:07:21.840 Just completely, you know, unusual.

00:07:24.860 Look, it should just carry on like that, really.

00:07:27.360 Until something happened.

00:07:29.920 Oh, what happened there?

00:07:31.720 Anyone just watching this?

00:07:33.860 My thing flipped out.

00:07:34.940 Okay, I didn't click anything, I swear.

00:07:36.740 Yeah, so this little spike here.

00:07:38.060 Well, it's not a little. It's not a small spike.

00:07:40.080 This big spike.

00:07:41.160 This is people who had inside information, isn't it?

00:07:50.320 That was people

00:07:51.280 At the Pentagon or the State Department

00:07:54.480 Or the White House

00:07:55.320 Or, meaning Tel Aviv

00:07:56.920 Or Jerusalem 0.71

00:07:57.700 That had to know

00:07:59.080 A small number of people

00:07:59.980 That knew exactly what was about to happen

00:08:01.860 Well, it's even smaller though, isn't it?

00:08:04.000 It was Trump

00:08:04.700 Well, who knows?

00:08:06.660 Who knows?

00:08:07.160 The reporting is still

00:08:07.980 We don't know who it is

00:08:08.600 It's just mystery people

00:08:09.480 Cheeky isn't it? Really cheeky

00:08:13.980 I mean well it's illegal isn't it? It's just completely legal let's be honest

00:08:17.480 I don't know where people get the chutzpah

00:08:21.560 to do that. What kind of meshuganer have you got to be to do that?

00:08:32.560 It'll be a real scumbag 0.99

00:08:34.400 Okay so yeah on the front page of the iPaper 0.97

00:08:38.360 That's given us the rundown of where we are this morning.

00:08:41.320 I mean, the Iranians said yesterday, didn't they? 1.00

00:08:45.220 There's no talks going on with the Donald and the US. None.

00:08:50.900 And some reporting even overnight, last night, Iran was still saying,

00:08:56.840 no, no, there's no deal, there's no talking going on.

00:08:59.900 But there is. But there is.

00:09:02.400 In other ways, Iran have confirmed that there is.

00:09:04.460 So what's coming out of Iran isn't perfectly consistent

00:09:12.220 I sort of can't blame them 0.99

00:09:13.500 Well, I do, they're liars 0.95

00:09:15.860 But in another sense, completely different sense 0.90

00:09:18.920 I sort of can't blame them because their whole government and infrastructures

00:09:21.920 And even communications is all destroyed

00:09:26.120 Or largely destroyed

00:09:27.260 According to somebody like Exith anyway

00:09:29.540 it's not that surprising that one part of their government or establishment will say one thing

00:09:36.720 and another act and do another thing it's perhaps not surprising

00:09:41.160 all right let's move on the guardian ooo

00:09:45.360 don't do that

00:09:48.720 That's so gross. Why does it exist? For champagne socialist boomers that's why it exists. Blue

00:10:06.340 haired insane students that don't know their arse from their elbow. That's why it exists. 1.00

00:10:14.160 foreign fifth columnists us set to deploy airborne troops as Middle East strikes intensify okay so

00:10:24.080 particularly Israel and Iran launching more and more missiles at each other over the last 25 since

00:10:29.560 I last spoke to you 23 hours ago odd paratroopers poised to go to gulf while Trump says talks still

00:10:39.840 ongoing. So yeah, I believe it is

00:10:42.140 the various reports said

00:10:43.460 Fort Bragg, which is the 82nd

00:10:46.080 Airborne Brigade, or Division

00:10:47.540 the 82nd Airborne Division

00:10:48.860 Very eminent

00:10:53.240 paratroopers

00:10:54.460 Even more than the 101st

00:10:57.800 Right?

00:11:00.520 Wasn't the 82nd

00:11:01.860 in doing stuff

00:11:03.940 in Italy, even before D-Day

00:11:05.440 Sicily

00:11:07.740 Yeah

00:11:10.060 Probably the most eminent airborne

00:11:12.300 Division in the world

00:11:14.540 The 82nd

00:11:15.400 Okay

00:11:16.880 And Trump said various things

00:11:19.840 He said

00:11:20.380 He said the

00:11:22.460 Iranians were sort of dying to make a deal 0.99

00:11:25.780 That's not a good choice of words

00:11:26.900 They were my words by the way

00:11:28.580 But he was saying they were just

00:11:29.380 And he said they're breaking their neck to do a deal

00:11:32.860 That's also not a great choice of words is it

00:11:34.440 They, according to Trump, they, the Iranians

00:11:36.920 Are eager to do a deal

00:11:39.160 Let's put it that way

00:11:39.920 They're eager to do a deal

00:11:41.100 They say they're not even talking

00:11:46.040 But they obviously are

00:11:48.220 They obviously are

00:11:48.800 Because there's a few things that are going on

00:11:51.040 So

00:11:51.200 What is it?

00:11:54.300 Various things

00:11:54.740 Alright so

00:11:55.200 They're using Pakistan as some sort of intermediary

00:11:58.600 Because Pakistan is one of Iran's very very few allies

00:12:04.300 That are left really

00:12:05.400 I mean they're a neighbour aren't they?

00:12:06.920 Pakistan's involved in its own war with Afghanistan

00:12:10.020 full-blown war with Afghanistan, Pakistan's having 0.92

00:12:12.080 Pakistan's bombing Kabul 0.98

00:12:13.920 and stuff at the moment, anyway

00:12:15.120 Pakistan will prepare to act as 1.00

00:12:18.180 an intermediary

00:12:19.880 between them, and we might

00:12:22.120 see later, well we'll probably see later

00:12:23.480 apparently Trump has, well the White

00:12:26.040 House has

00:12:27.200 proffered a 15 point

00:12:29.920 peace plan, Trump

00:12:31.860 says Iran have agreed to

00:12:33.880 give up the nuclear

00:12:35.440 dreams and even their stockpiles of enriched uranium what they've got Iran just saying no 0.87

00:12:43.660 none of that's you know none of that's true but we know that they they're someone somewhere in

00:12:49.260 Iran is doing talks and deals with some people right that that is definitely happening look at

00:12:53.820 the India deal and also Iran has come out overnight saying that the Straits of Hormuz

00:13:01.320 will be opened to a limited degree to non-aggressive people, i.e. not the United States and Israel

00:13:11.720 but other people, if you've got tankers, will let you go through the Straits of Hormuz.

00:13:19.740 So there is some group somewhere in Iran that is able to make and do deals, and are.

00:13:31.320 so okay the line coming out of Iran that was simply there's nothing to the story

00:13:38.100 that we're talking with the US just isn't true almost certainly isn't true

00:13:43.560 but you know it's politics that's just what they're saying at the moment isn't

00:13:46.980 it who it is exactly we still don't know I mean yesterday Trump was asked that

00:13:53.760 question again and in classic Trump fashion he sort of said nobody knows who

00:14:00.780 to talk to although we do like in the same sentence in exactly the same breath but we do

00:14:05.720 but we're talking to the right people he didn't name anyone didn't name anyone particularly well

00:14:11.120 at all okay let's move on a bit let's have a look at a couple other bits and bobs

00:14:15.900 shield boys from toxic manosphere MPs say no I don't think that let boys be boys

00:14:23.740 The way blokes were raised in the 80s, 70s, 80s, 90s, it's fine 0.99

00:14:29.320 Stop making boys into weak little soy boy, pathetic, cringey, nothing men 1.00

00:14:37.720 Stop doing that 1.00

00:14:39.020 Let them make up their own mind what it is or isn't to be a man

00:14:43.500 How about that? What's wrong with that?

00:14:47.580 Boys, men, don't take your cue of what it means to be a man from women 0.95

00:14:52.340 And weirdo

00:14:57.120 Sawyer lefties

00:14:58.500 Just make up your own mind

00:15:00.820 Go with your own heart

00:15:03.040 There's nothing wrong with that

00:15:04.380 God, shield boys from toxic 0.99

00:15:07.480 Manosphere, shut up

00:15:08.700 Spy operations

00:15:12.920 Mounted by hostile states up 50%

00:15:15.720 In the last year as well

00:15:17.860 The story says

00:15:18.960 Just hostile states

00:15:21.560 It is like China, Russia, Iran 0.96

00:15:26.660 Places like that

00:15:28.340 Up 50%

00:15:31.120 Yeah, our country in Great Britain is

00:15:36.180 Infiltrated and subverted

00:15:38.880 In all sorts of ways, isn't it?

00:15:40.220 I mean, that is true

00:15:40.920 Didn't Reform have one of their leaders

00:15:44.080 One of their senior people

00:15:45.700 Completely shown, convicted

00:15:48.240 Wasn't it?

00:15:49.600 Being a Russian asset in some way 0.75

00:15:51.320 multiple stories come out of both

00:15:53.940 Tory and Labour people

00:15:55.620 being on the books

00:15:58.140 for the Chinese intelligence

00:15:59.920 services. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:16:06.460 MI5 and MI6 need to up their game

00:16:08.320 a bit, I think.

00:16:10.440 Don't they?

00:16:13.060 Well,

00:16:14.340 they're still one of the best intelligence services in the world.

00:16:17.240 People talk about how terrible

00:16:18.520 the, how tiny and

00:16:20.340 terrible the UK Navy is, and it is tiny and terrible, but most countries have almost no

00:16:26.000 Navy whatsoever. I just had a little moan there about MI5 and MI6. Most countries have got very,

00:16:31.460 very, very minimal, if anything at all, intelligence services. We moan about our

00:16:35.480 nuclear submarines. Very few countries in the whole world have got nuclear submarines, hardly any.

00:16:43.060 We've got high standards. We should do. We're falling below those high standards, but

00:16:48.000 Still doing better than the vast majority of countries in the world

00:16:51.960 In various ways

00:16:54.820 It's just not up to snuff

00:16:57.000 It's just not as good as it used to be

00:16:58.280 Alright

00:17:01.480 We don't want a managed decline

00:17:03.500 Do we?

00:17:06.300 I don't want a managed decline to be reformed

00:17:08.880 Into a slightly different shape of managed decline

00:17:11.640 I want to restore what we used to have

00:17:14.120 What we used to be

00:17:14.980 Right

00:17:16.300 the times the venerable times middle class will lose out as benefit claimants get energy help

00:17:25.140 yeah rachel thieves rachel from accounts the weird know nothing karen who certainly isn't

00:17:30.300 an economist which is who is somehow the chancellor of the exchequer is saying that

00:17:34.900 they may be able to help with energy bills but not middle class people not if you've

00:17:40.480 actually got any money. So, you know, migrants most helped. And of course, that will come

00:17:49.820 at the cost of the middle class. There you go. Again, that's leftism for you, isn't it?

00:17:57.600 That's socialism. Is that you destroy the kulaks. The middle class. Destroy them. 1.00

00:18:06.100 If you can 1.00

00:18:09.500 They're the problem, they're the enemy

00:18:12.000 Talk about billionaires, of course

00:18:13.860 Of course eat the rich

00:18:15.340 Of course, that goes without saying

00:18:17.080 Then it's the middle class, then you squeeze the kulaks 1.00

00:18:20.320 You even squeeze peasants

00:18:21.840 Who've got a tiny bit more money

00:18:23.700 Than people that have got nothing at all 0.87

00:18:31.100 That's what socialism is

00:18:32.460 Why a middle class person 0.99

00:18:37.000 Would ever vote left

00:18:38.360 Or Labour

00:18:39.720 Or Green

00:18:40.460 Lib Dem

00:18:41.060 Or anything like that

00:18:41.780 Other than out of

00:18:42.760 Just a sense of guilt

00:18:43.820 Which is what a lot of

00:18:47.200 The socialists

00:18:48.260 Champagne socialists are

00:18:49.300 Isn't it

00:18:49.820 I've got some sort of guilt

00:18:51.100 That I've got a bit of money

00:18:52.240 I feel bad about it

00:18:54.780 Not going to actually really help

00:18:58.840 But I will

00:18:59.560 But I will vote Labour

00:19:01.000 all right well don't complain don't complain then when the socialists try and destroy any

00:19:10.580 sort of middle class anyone who owns anything i don't like ownership everything should be owned

00:19:15.800 by the state you think i'm you think i'm you might be thinking i'm exaggerating i'm joking

00:19:19.800 you're like well calm down bow is this only the labor party it's not actually 1950s maoism

00:19:26.420 Yeah, but it all comes

00:19:27.600 It's not actually 1930s started

00:19:29.760 Yeah, but

00:19:30.340 The ideology is the same

00:19:33.960 It's that anyone that owns anything

00:19:36.080 Ownership

00:19:37.180 That's why they hate landlords

00:19:39.040 Hate landlords

00:19:40.140 That's why they hate private schools

00:19:42.200 Anything like that

00:19:43.520 They despise it

00:19:45.320 It's out of pure resentment, isn't it?

00:19:47.760 Leftism is the politics of resentment

00:19:49.720 Having a chip on your shoulder

00:19:51.600 It's grace

00:19:53.940 And, of course, never, ever, ever works

00:20:00.440 It always ends in nightmare

00:20:03.720 And civil strife

00:20:07.780 Starvation, ultimately

00:20:12.080 Okay

00:20:15.640 Trump prepares to seize Ireland with elite forces

00:20:19.700 So, the Venerable Times is talking about Carg Island

00:20:22.580 that may be the 82nd airborne would you like to see the 82nd air footage of the 82nd airborne

00:20:29.620 parachuting onto karg island

00:20:34.820 kind of cool i mean politically in the grand scheme of things in like the sweep of history

00:20:41.300 it's probably probably not a great idea but simply in terms of like a cool bit of footage

00:20:46.340 be pretty cool wouldn't it all right paratroops uh sent for possible cargo salt

00:20:54.780 u.s president says he has already changed regime you know we said that but

00:20:59.660 in the proper truest clear sense of regime change it obviously hasn't but if you want to use those

00:21:08.300 words to mean all the people or nearly all the people that were actually at the top of that

00:21:13.380 regime are now in their graves or turned into tiny particles. In that sense, the regime

00:21:22.340 has changed, hasn't it? In that sense, but it's not. Okay, it's now semantics, isn't

00:21:27.900 it? You're now playing with words. So, he's wrong, but also, right, you get it, you get

00:21:38.000 Okay, the Toreograph, the Daily Telegraph

00:21:40.520 These are people that have

00:21:41.820 These are British sailors

00:21:44.540 On HMS Dragon

00:21:46.520 Enter the Dragon

00:21:47.160 You know, there's a picture of them

00:21:49.240 National Savings in Chaos

00:21:52.660 Over Payouts

00:21:53.280 Yeah, this was a thing about

00:21:54.360 One particular bank

00:21:57.320 What was it?

00:21:58.820 NS&I 0.99

00:21:59.400 Bank accused of short-changing

00:22:02.900 Bereaved families

00:22:04.180 Amid thousands of complaints

00:22:06.300 NS&I 0.99

00:22:09.140 National Savings Investments Bank

00:22:12.440 It's not good, is it?

00:22:17.780 That's not good publicity for them

00:22:19.280 One thing I will say

00:22:21.540 Though

00:22:22.860 When I used to work at JP Morgan

00:22:26.760 Many years ago

00:22:28.040 Like 20 years ago

00:22:30.460 Or whatever

00:22:31.020 Was it?

00:22:32.760 Anyway

00:22:33.020 If you've got a bank account

00:22:35.340 Or any sort of savings in a joint name

00:22:37.080 Often a man and wife do that 0.73

00:22:38.720 And then one of them dies

00:22:40.640 It is really hard for the other one

00:22:43.660 To get that money, really hard

00:22:45.240 Like way harder than you would think

00:22:47.160 If nothing's been left in place

00:22:50.060 If the will doesn't say

00:22:51.920 I bequeath everything to my spouse

00:22:53.960 And a lot of people die

00:22:55.840 In test date don't they

00:22:56.860 You didn't make a will

00:22:57.760 Because you didn't think you were ill

00:23:00.020 You didn't think you were going to die

00:23:00.900 And then boom

00:23:01.540 Dad has a heart attack out of nowhere

00:23:04.860 no will

00:23:06.540 bank accounts in joint names

00:23:08.860 yeah

00:23:10.180 and it's not that uncommon

00:23:11.620 it's not that rare

00:23:12.180 I don't know if that's what's going on here

00:23:13.580 with NS&I

00:23:14.580 but

00:23:15.120 just so you know

00:23:17.380 it is really hard

00:23:18.220 the surviving spouse

00:23:19.840 will have to go through

00:23:21.040 jump through all sorts of legal hoops

00:23:22.740 just to get their own money 1.00

00:23:23.880 sucks 0.99

00:23:26.400 it's really bad 0.84

00:23:27.220 yeah

00:23:29.840 so be aware of that

00:23:34.440 if you've got stuff in joint names

00:23:37.120 and you haven't made a will

00:23:38.520 maybe think about that

00:23:42.140 alright

00:23:44.000 fuel shortage

00:23:47.020 may hit Europe within weeks

00:23:48.740 I had a look at the oil price this morning

00:23:52.800 it's really not that bad

00:23:56.620 still at the moment

00:23:58.320 so like West Texas oil

00:24:01.360 crude oil, well Texas

00:24:02.840 texas crude was at like 89 dollars a barrel uh brent brent crude was a bang about bang on

00:24:11.020 100 dollars a barrel and this was about an hour ago an hour and a half ago

00:24:15.320 so there it is it came down another sort of six percent roughly it's so volatile that that number

00:24:26.820 would have already changed but this morning or late last night i was seeing that it'd come down

00:24:30.880 another six percent over the last day or so so again still very very volatile but not through

00:24:37.920 the roof a bit later we might see reports about um larry fink the head of blackrock

00:24:44.960 blackrock is something like 14 trillion dollars of assets under management

00:24:50.280 he said or he was reporting lots of people were reporting that he said

00:24:55.520 crude is going to go to 150 a barrel and there will be a recession it's not what he said

00:25:00.820 if you just i can't help but misrepresent things can they to get clicks and buy and sell newspapers

00:25:05.700 what he actually said because he did an interview what he actually said is in about a year's time

00:25:12.700 no one knows how this thing's going to break right no one knows if the iranian regime will collapse

00:25:17.500 if it does collapse whether it will be replaced by some sort of decent government or not if it

00:25:23.560 doesn't collapse whether the regime that's left in place will become more pliant or not nobody knows

00:25:30.460 And what he said was in a year's time

00:25:31.980 The price of oil could be $40 a barrel

00:25:34.600 It could be $150 a barrel

00:25:36.700 Nobody knows

00:25:37.280 That's what he said

00:25:38.440 Like one way or another

00:25:41.260 Iran could become pliant 0.99

00:25:42.800 And the Venezuela

00:25:45.780 All the Venezuela stuff gets up

00:25:47.520 Lying up and running

00:25:48.280 Cooking on gas

00:25:49.020 So to speak

00:25:50.420 And the price of oil could tumble loads

00:25:54.200 And be $40 a barrel

00:25:55.100 Or everything could just be chaos

00:25:57.620 Still there in a year's time

00:25:59.800 and it might be $150 a barrel.

00:26:01.240 That's what he was saying.

00:26:04.920 A lot of papers just go with,

00:26:06.680 Larry Fink says it's going to be $150 a barrel.

00:26:11.980 They can't help themselves, can they?

00:26:13.780 They sort of can't help themselves.

00:26:16.860 All right, let's see.

00:26:17.960 What else have we got?

00:26:18.520 Oh, Met Police, London Police,

00:26:21.600 failed to speak to McSweeney about phone theft

00:26:24.960 after Mandelson sacking.

00:26:26.360 Because they were too busy

00:26:29.960 Literally, that was their quote

00:26:31.620 We're too busy

00:26:32.300 So Morgan McSweeney in October last year

00:26:36.520 I.e. just a month after

00:26:38.400 Peter Mandelson was fired

00:26:41.720 They were forced to remove him

00:26:45.260 For the Epstein scandal

00:26:46.520 Within a month of that

00:26:48.020 Because that was in September last year

00:26:49.460 In October last year

00:26:50.800 Morgan McSweeney

00:26:52.740 You know, they're now

00:26:55.360 fired Chief of Staff

00:26:58.440 for Sir Queer Stalin 0.78

00:27:00.060 apparently his mobile phone

00:27:02.460 was snatched out of his hand by a bike

00:27:04.500 thief person in London

00:27:05.720 and all his texts that he had

00:27:08.060 with Mandy, they're just gone

00:27:10.060 they're just gone, and it's gone

00:27:11.640 oh, okay

00:27:16.020 it's not a question whether that's true or not

00:27:18.360 in fact

00:27:20.360 Tories and Reform have both said that already

00:27:22.220 yeah, they're literally

00:27:23.360 they quite literally said we don't really believe that that's just far too convenient

00:27:31.500 you lost it you got stolen out of your hand was it it's lost you just lost it it's just gone now

00:27:37.840 yeah right apparently he did phone up the police and got a little crime number that's what happens

00:27:42.320 now in the uk mostly unless it's a very very very very serious crime even if it's like your whole

00:27:49.080 car has got stolen or your house has been burgled you phone up the police tell them oh i've just

00:27:54.100 been a victim of a crime they're like oh have you you know well we'll make we'll make a note

00:27:58.540 of that then here's your crime reference number okay thanks bye that's it that's it now bye

00:28:03.140 click so morgan was really did apparently phone the police he's got his little reference number

00:28:10.580 but nothing was done about it since then they've looked into it various journalists and the met

00:28:15.920 police themselves have re-looked into that because now they really want that mobile phone

00:28:19.700 and they're like no and the police are like no we we logged it we gave him his little number

00:28:28.440 and then that's it we're too busy that's their words as well again we're too busy to do anything

00:28:33.640 else than that other than that oh all right well that's it then end of story

00:28:37.420 something that might be at the very very crux

00:28:42.240 the very crux of the whole thing god knows what they might have talked about between themselves

00:28:48.240 you know all the way up to and including nathaniel rothschild who knows god knows

00:28:56.920 because it's gone it's just gone now like all of mandy's emails in his uh lobbying firm he had

00:29:03.580 They're just gone. Lost. That's it.

00:29:08.580 Brilliant.

00:29:10.580 Fine. Okay.

00:29:14.580 The male. The man online.

00:29:17.580 Art of slop.

00:29:19.580 So sloppy.

00:29:23.580 Okay, there's 44 year old

00:29:26.580 Sienna Miller, who's pregnant. 1.00

00:29:28.580 Okay, middle class to footbill for Reeves' benefits.

00:29:40.580 Okay, you get it, we already talked about that, I'm not going to talk any more about that, you get it.

00:29:46.580 Okay, a UNESCO heritage site, monastery hit by a rare daylight Russian drone attack in Ukraine.

00:29:55.580 Yeah, that's a shame. Whenever I see anything that's of real architectural, historical value that gets destroyed in wars, I mean it's a shame.

00:30:07.040 Like the crack de Chevalier, the castle of knights in Syria was mildly damaged with all the ISIS stuff a few years back. 1.00

00:30:17.620 Things like that

00:30:21.580 Loads of things

00:30:22.580 Loads of things in the Middle East 1.00

00:30:23.600 Anyway there's a Ukraine

00:30:26.460 Important monastery of some type

00:30:29.740 Pain at the pump

00:30:32.460 Drivers pay 307 million pound price for Trump's war

00:30:36.620 Well it's Bibby's war isn't it 0.99

00:30:39.100 Rachel Reeves warns of significant economic impact

00:30:41.860 From Iran conflict

00:30:43.480 Fails to announce any help for households facing higher bills

00:30:47.200 even as average litre of petrol soars as higher as £1.46.

00:30:55.520 Price of crude isn't significantly higher than it was at the beginning of the war.

00:31:01.880 Financial times, Iran reprisals, missile waves strike Tel Aviv.

00:31:08.120 So it was the case, wasn't it, that Iran was holding fire a bit in the first, what, two, two and a half weeks of the war?

00:31:15.340 i said about two two and a half weeks in didn't i that it looks like iran didn't really have as

00:31:22.640 big a stockpile as they kept claiming they did i think i did also caveat by saying who knows they

00:31:28.900 might still but at that point it looked like it didn't well now you know that's proved to be an

00:31:35.020 inaccurate take relatively inaccurate take they are still firing decent amount of ordinance into

00:31:41.060 israel well and all over the place right all over the place even in the last 24 hours stuff flying

00:31:47.300 around the uae bahrain kate uh qatar kuwait saudi there you go vw weighs volkswagen

00:31:57.380 ways shift uh from cars to defense in deal with israel's iron dome maker so yeah volkswagen

00:32:03.380 and going to repurpose a bit of their business

00:32:07.360 to make aerospace and defence stuff, military stuff.

00:32:14.180 Yeah, I mean, classic thing.

00:32:16.400 Take, like, Boeing, for example.

00:32:18.500 They make commercial aircraft and military stuff, don't they?

00:32:21.600 Loads of companies.

00:32:22.760 Loads of big companies do that.

00:32:23.800 So Volkswagen's getting in on that.

00:32:26.060 There you go.

00:32:28.380 Oddy admits to grabbing former employees' breasts without consent.

00:32:32.280 Don't worry, it's not Bill Oddy.

00:32:33.160 Don't worry

00:32:33.660 Some other dude called Crispy Noddy

00:32:35.960 It's not even spelt the same

00:32:36.880 Don't worry

00:32:37.260 It's not even spelt the same as Bill Noddy

00:32:38.480 It's fine

00:32:39.000 Crispy Noddy

00:32:42.480 Some fund manager

00:32:43.380 There's no one of importance

00:32:44.320 Okay

00:32:44.860 Well he is

00:32:45.960 But

00:32:46.240 Not in world affairs

00:32:48.380 We're not interested in him

00:32:50.440 Alright

00:32:51.040 The Daily Express

00:32:51.980 It's a good point 0.91

00:32:52.740 People moaning about

00:32:55.080 How if you want to buy an England shirt

00:32:56.340 It's like 90 quid

00:32:57.480 And that's quite expensive

00:32:58.660 People moaning about that

00:32:59.900 Don't buy it then

00:33:02.600 Reform pledged to cancel monstrous

00:33:10.080 Quote, monstrous channel migrant deal

00:33:12.280 And demand British cash back

00:33:14.040 Good, that's nice, that's actually good

00:33:15.420 Can't knock that, why not

00:33:17.860 No more money unless French finally stop the boats 1.00

00:33:21.220 Well, the thing is

00:33:22.980 I am of the mind

00:33:25.160 That we shouldn't rely on the French at all 1.00

00:33:30.860 why should they're not doing it they've got no intention of doing it's not even in their interests

00:33:34.880 to they get rid of a few tens of thousands of them it's not their problem anymore it's actually

00:33:41.160 in their interests isn't it to send them over here so yeah we should absolutely cancel any 0.88

00:33:49.800 sort of deal we've got with them because it's a nonsense demand our money back yeah they won't

00:33:56.740 give it back but still we could diplomatically make that make make those noises demand our money 0.99

00:34:01.740 back and then take it into our own hands because nothing else will do will it the migrants 1.00

00:34:08.260 themselves and the people smuggling gangs they won't stop and the french won't stop stop it 0.98

00:34:14.380 either they won't do it so what's left to do other than just an endless invasion small boat invasion

00:34:20.040 even though it's the tip of the iceberg i'm aware of that legal migration is a much more serious

00:34:25.680 issue leading to actual demographic suicide ultimately and before that some sort of sectarian

00:34:34.140 nightmare but with regard to the small boats though take it into our own hands but the royal

00:34:41.620 marines very small number of them will be required very small number of the special boat service

00:34:46.660 whatever we've got a number of men that can do this are in fact specifically trained to do this

00:34:54.040 sort of thing put them in the channel within a few days a few weeks the people smugglers and the

00:35:02.260 boat migrants will get the picture you can't just cross the channel now with impunity and it will 1.00

00:35:08.500 stop it's very very simple just call it operation keep the channel safe or something honestly you

00:35:21.720 honestly believe you'd need to deploy four five six speed boats with half a

00:35:27.660 dozen Royal Marines in each one we tow their little dinghy back to French 1.00

00:35:32.320 waters not even all the way up to the French Beach just back to their waters

00:35:36.840 just cut the tow line there there you go you can stay there because it's not like

00:35:41.900 thousands cross every day it'll be it's a few dozen isn't it a few dozen boats a

00:35:46.140 day and they're packed full of a few dozen people each so it's not like a giant giant thing where

00:35:56.200 we'd have to deploy thousands of marines indefinitely it'd be a few dozen can get the 0.95

00:36:03.020 job done i would have thought right and then especially once i say the gangs get the picture

00:36:08.740 then i imagine the thing the whole thing will tail off largely we'll keep a very very small

00:36:16.020 permanent deployment of marines there very very small for the odd chancer that still tries it

00:36:21.800 from time to time it's really straightforward it's really straightforward and once again if

00:36:28.840 the french get all p.o'd that a british speedboat with some royal marines in it have incurred into

00:36:38.600 french waters ever so slightly well then we'll have a conversation about that then we'll have

00:36:43.460 sort of summit we'll have a big summit at Versailles right well at the Elysee Palace

00:36:50.180 we'll have the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary and their President and Foreign

00:36:54.300 Secretary and we'll sit down at a table and we'll hash it out not a big deal not a problem

00:36:58.560 if that can the only reason that's not happened already or a long time ago is because they don't

00:37:04.840 want it to all the conservative governments and the current Labour government they don't want to

00:37:11.120 do that. They could do that

00:37:13.040 and they're choosing, very, very deliberately

00:37:15.220 choosing every single day not to do

00:37:17.180 that.

00:37:19.760 It's very straightforward, isn't it?

00:37:22.060 It's very straightforward.

00:37:24.180 There's no other way

00:37:25.460 to describe it than that they

00:37:27.120 want us invaded

00:37:28.240 by foreign criminals.

00:37:33.020 Otherwise they would stop it.

00:37:35.380 Wouldn't they?

00:37:37.120 Right, the metro.

00:37:40.120 Ugh.

00:37:41.120 the metro i halted baby unit terrorist with cuddles a couple years ago this guy farouk 0.97

00:37:54.900 this monster this absolutely insane monster he built a homemade bomb out of a pressure cooker 0.90

00:38:04.660 or something. Walks into a maternity unit in Leeds. A maternity unit. 0.99

00:38:15.460 Oh, but diversity is a strength. It's our greatest strength. You know, diversity built

00:38:19.920 Britain. Diversity is a greatest strength. You'd be a bigot if you didn't want someone

00:38:24.700 like that in your country. It would be un-British to question the concept of letting people

00:38:30.860 like this, endless numbers of them, in your country.

00:38:34.660 Aversity is a strength. Greatest strength. Can't question it. That'd be Islamophobic or something.

00:38:41.820 Farouk. Farouk walked into a maternity unit with a homemade bomb. 0.86

00:38:46.740 Anyway, this guy sort of confronted him and apparently gave him a cuddle, a hug, and talked him out of detonating the bomb.

00:38:57.160 great and the story is supposed to be like a great look what happened white pill look look

00:39:04.400 how good this is it's great look at the hero yeah no i suppose well not suppose yeah all right well

00:39:09.580 done mate genuinely well done for doing that good good on you that's not the main point

00:39:14.980 about all of this is it that's not the most salient thing about this story is it

00:39:21.920 i'm gonna give him or did give him the saint george's cross or something

00:39:26.620 a gallantry gong

00:39:29.180 yay well done

00:39:31.860 hero dude

00:39:33.000 don't worry about this guy

00:39:36.300 and people like him

00:39:38.160 and what the

00:39:39.500 the ideology, the world view that led to him

00:39:42.360 doing that and how many other people we've got in this

00:39:44.300 country that hold similar views

00:39:46.420 don't worry about that

00:39:47.780 just focus on the guy that gave him

00:39:50.340 a hug

00:39:50.900 mental

00:39:56.140 all right the mirror same thing would be bomber ask me for a cuddle modest hero on how he stopped

00:40:05.380 lone wolf terrorists hospital atrocity it don't focus on that focus on this guy why did he do that

00:40:16.120 Why did he build a bomb

00:40:21.480 And then decide to walk into

00:40:23.520 A maternity unit

00:40:27.080 What led to that

00:40:31.940 What leads to that

00:40:32.940 What happens if you interrogate

00:40:35.580 The thinking behind that

00:40:37.160 Where does that lead

00:40:39.080 I don't talk about a sectarian nightmare

00:40:47.120 For no reason

00:40:47.840 It's not just pure paranoia

00:40:49.620 It's not just a right wing fantasy

00:40:51.540 Okay

00:40:53.800 There was another guy wasn't there

00:41:00.020 Who got a taxi to a maternity 1.00

00:41:01.960 He made a homemade bomb

00:41:03.040 And he got a taxi to a maternity

00:41:06.280 Ward

00:41:07.600 and then the taxi driver locked him in the car drove him there realized what was going on at

00:41:15.420 some point during that journey when he got there locked him in and it it blew up remember that one

00:41:22.560 bbc tried to lie about the details of it remember that one no

00:41:27.700 okay the daily star the front page of the daily star is about that an england shirt cost 90 quid

00:41:37.060 now

00:41:37.360 The Sun

00:41:41.380 talking about Strictly Come Dancing

00:41:44.640 the BAFTAs, again anyone who's foreign

00:41:46.260 doesn't watch British TV very much

00:41:48.840 there's a TV show, I've mentioned it before

00:41:50.760 if anyone watches the Bose show every morning

00:41:52.220 somehow it's on the front pages or in the news

00:41:55.080 one way or another

00:41:56.120 Strictly Come Dancing

00:41:57.540 it's originally a show back in like the 70s

00:42:00.500 when people actually liked ballroom dancing

00:42:03.200 and things, much more simple time

00:42:04.560 then it wasn't on TV for like 20 years

00:42:06.640 30 years then they brought it back about 10 years ago 15 years ago whatever strictly come dancing

00:42:13.080 where you get a celebrity and a professional dancer to couple up and do dancing and then

00:42:21.620 really fey weirdo judges judge how good they are at dancing and every week one couple gets

00:42:30.260 booted out and at the end there's like a couple that win it. So vapid. It's utter, utter 0.90

00:42:37.420 slop nonsense. Anyway, it does do well in the, does do well in the, loads of people

00:42:45.840 watch it. Millions of people, millions of semi-braindead normies love it. They slurp

00:42:54.420 it up. They slurp up that slop endlessly. Well, the BAFTAs decided that this year, and

00:43:00.360 it usually wins loads of awards, the BAFTAs said that it didn't even get nominated for

00:43:04.620 anything. That's it. That's it. The BAFTAs snubbed Strictly Come Dancing. Front page.

00:43:11.120 Front page of the Sun. Put that on the front page. All right. Let's have a look at our

00:43:15.600 poll then, shall we? Harry, if you can bring up our poll, what did we say today? We said

00:43:22.480 we asked you

00:43:24.940 would you like to see US troops on the ground in the Gulf

00:43:28.580 what do you think, would you like to see that

00:43:31.360 and we got over 1100 votes

00:43:35.500 65% of you say no

00:43:38.620 19% of you say yes

00:43:42.000 and 15% of you say maybe

00:43:44.320 alright, so it's a win for the no's 0.99

00:43:48.280 yeah, I said beyond the, which is a very

00:43:51.760 i'm joking really when i say it would be worth it for like the cool footage

00:43:59.080 i did say didn't i earlier that like the real honest real answer is no it's probably for the

00:44:06.080 best if not so yeah 65 of you say no who knows you know it might be the the tiny thing that

00:44:17.420 needs to just tip that that tips the iranian regime over the edge or it makes the people of

00:44:22.860 iran it's just a tiny little tipping point that makes the people of iran rise up that's like the

00:44:28.720 one of the things they needed and it and the regime collapses it might be that mightn't it

00:44:34.660 if if it is that i don't think it is by the way i'm just saying if if it is then history will

00:44:40.720 remember it as a as a a masterful chess move wouldn't it if if that happened again i don't

00:44:47.400 think it would it did but you never know it's easy to look back on stuff with hindsight isn't

00:44:53.600 it but okay the overwhelming majority of you really say no yeah fair enough i think that's

00:44:59.720 i wouldn't want any more people to die than than necessary on all sides as well

00:45:06.400 not just US service people

00:45:08.580 if Trump can get this deal

00:45:13.940 where they get their enriched uranium

00:45:16.640 and Iran agrees to

00:45:18.940 not build nukes anymore

00:45:21.060 like fully let the IAEA in

00:45:23.700 and see everything in the whole of Iran

00:45:25.600 whenever they want to

00:45:26.940 full blown

00:45:28.260 full hang out

00:45:30.240 from Iran

00:45:31.420 you can see our nuclear facilities

00:45:33.400 and we're definitely not building a bomb

00:45:35.440 and then the whole war can end if that happens and that happens quickly good then okay right

00:45:45.340 it's probably the best you can hope for at this point that seems like the iranian regime is very

00:45:49.800 very tenacious i think it's much more tenacious than than hegs if thought it would be and trump

00:45:56.940 And Bibi

00:45:58.580 Okay

00:46:00.800 Iran says

00:46:02.880 Non-hostile vessels

00:46:04.460 May pass through Straits of Hormuz

00:46:06.340 As oil price falls

00:46:08.380 Yeah

00:46:09.460 So as I said earlier

00:46:11.640 Reporting that

00:46:12.420 Non-hostile vessels

00:46:15.320 So if you're just like

00:46:16.860 You're just like

00:46:17.900 A South Korean 0.84

00:46:21.180 Or Indonesian 1.00

00:46:22.300 Oil tanker

00:46:24.300 They'll just let you through

00:46:25.360 Some of the things he said, a quick summary

00:46:28.760 The US is negotiating with itself, a spokesperson for the Iranian military, he says

00:46:34.240 Someone like us will never come to terms with someone like you

00:46:38.920 The comments came after Donald Trump insisted Iran wants a deal so badly

00:46:46.080 Iran, they want to make a deal so badly 1.00

00:46:48.180 Saying on Tuesday that Iran gave the US a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money

00:46:54.420 i think that was in reference to um well various things actually but also okay unconfirmed reports

00:47:01.800 say the us has handed over a 15 point peace plan i said that right at the top of the show didn't i

00:47:05.400 including iran dismantling its nuclear facilities in exchange for lifting sanctions but at the same

00:47:11.660 time the pentagon is preparing to deploy some troops to iran okay they're the main talking

00:47:16.160 points okay yeah oh the other big one there is it iran sent a mission to the un and that non-hostile

00:47:25.200 vessels can pass through which is like china india pakistan and a bunch of other smaller

00:47:29.340 countries i believe okay okay all right there's a couple other stories i think were worth talking

00:47:37.880 about there was was there one on the itv news there's definitely one on the mail online oh oh

00:47:48.700 just that that spike there there was one i want to talk about where just briefly because i know

00:47:54.280 we're getting on for time a bit but okay this one shibana mahmood's immigration reforms face

00:48:00.020 yet another setback as migrant campaigners

00:48:02.760 prepare to launch major new legal challenge migrant campaigners

00:48:09.560 you mean fifth columnists

00:48:13.280 migrant campaigners okay and it's what shabana mahmood and the home office want and rely upon

00:48:22.880 anyway they throw out a bunch how many times do you have to go through this the home office or

00:48:26.540 the home secretary will throw out a bunch of red meat whether it's suella breverman or whoever 1.00

00:48:30.500 James Covelly, whatever

00:48:32.020 I'll throw out some red meat 1.00

00:48:34.500 So we're going to do this, we're going to do X, Y, Z

00:48:36.700 We're going to get tough on immigration 1.00

00:48:37.940 Oh no, there's been a legal challenge

00:48:40.460 Oh well, back to the drawing board

00:48:42.480 Meanwhile

00:48:44.540 A year, two years gone by

00:48:45.840 There's another million people in the country

00:48:47.640 Oh well

00:48:48.540 Some migrant 0.94

00:48:52.800 Campaigners

00:48:53.760 Stopped us, the government

00:48:55.860 From doing what

00:48:58.400 The people want

00:48:59.380 You're the government, you can change, you can bring in legislation

00:49:03.540 To make it so that they can't

00:49:06.540 A new pressure group called the Skill Migrants Alliance

00:49:10.860 The Skill Migrants Alliance, okay 1.00

00:49:14.680 They're not traitors, no

00:49:16.980 They're not a danger to the public interest, no

00:49:20.920 No, they're not fifth colonists, no

00:49:23.480 It's just a migrant, they're just migrant campaigners 1.00

00:49:27.120 Skill Migrants Alliance

00:49:29.800 Led by Sonali Naik, King's Council

00:49:35.200 Who is the head of Garden Court Chambers

00:49:38.820 Not fifth colonists

00:49:42.440 Not working against the interests of the nation and the people

00:49:45.000 Just migrant campaigners 0.99

00:49:47.180 That's all they are, migrant campaigners 1.00

00:49:49.080 Preventing the Home Office and the government

00:49:53.660 From keeping us safe

00:49:55.160 trying to slow down or stop an invasion

00:49:58.300 garden court chambers okay okay but again that's what they want that's what the actual home office

00:50:09.940 that's what someone like shaman uh shabana mahmood or preety patel that's what they want that's what

00:50:14.460 they rely on so they can just go oh you know we tried we're actually based we're actually

00:50:20.180 sweller brevman i'm actually basically i was actually trying really hard were you were you

00:50:26.660 though i don't know how many times i have to go through this because they're the government right

00:50:34.460 parliament the commons is sovereign they could if they wanted to they could make laws remember

00:50:41.240 boris well all the tory last few tory governments had a giant majority labor at the moment has got

00:50:46.720 a giant majority, if they wanted to, I mean, Labour a little less so because they can't

00:50:52.040 control their own backbenchers, but certainly in the Conservative era, when Boris got that

00:50:56.340 big majority, if they wanted to, they could pass all sorts of laws to just prevent, they

00:51:01.220 could leave the ECHR, they could pass all sorts of laws to prevent something like the

00:51:08.480 skilled migrants alliance or garden court chambers from from mounting legal challenges to the home

00:51:16.880 office they could make the home office all-powerful again if they wanted to but they're not are they

00:51:23.040 they're choosing not to do that they're choosing not to do that it's a political calculation they're

00:51:30.560 making okay one little story i thought was interesting on the express actually it was

00:51:40.400 the same thing about stopping small boats one on the sun um don top iran has agreed

00:51:52.760 to never have a nuclear weapon that's what trump has said so it's almost certain that the iranians

00:52:00.160 Are in talks with the US

00:52:02.180 Whether it's through Pakistan or not 0.95

00:52:04.260 Trump claims

00:52:07.200 As he vows

00:52:10.620 War has been won

00:52:12.000 After Iran gave US 0.99

00:52:15.660 Very big present

00:52:16.840 This one man

00:52:20.100 Punched this other one man in the street 0.53

00:52:22.280 That's news

00:52:23.900 Pop

00:52:24.800 That's news apparently

00:52:27.620 Alright

00:52:29.960 one story i did think was mildly amusing a little bit of an amusing one

00:52:33.420 to sort of end and start ending out the show this guy

00:52:37.660 the ibiza final boss dude anyone know remember this guy

00:52:43.100 just doing the rounds on twitter and i believe tiktok i'm not on tiktok

00:52:46.780 literally don't have an account and i've got no intention of getting one

00:52:49.980 i've hardly ever clicked on it ever but i am on twitter

00:52:53.880 and this dude just went viral a little bit i mean it's a look isn't it

00:52:59.400 that's his real hair by the way that's not he's not wearing a beret backwards or anything that's

00:53:03.880 his actual haircut i mean i've said it before as a bald man you can't really take the mickey

00:53:10.100 out of other people's hair you just can't it's like if you're morbidly obese you can't take this

00:53:15.260 the mickey out of someone for being a little bit pudgy right it's like if you're bald

00:53:19.100 don't try and take the mickey out of other people's hair but that's a that's that's proper

00:53:25.640 a lloyd christmas though isn't it i mean it's a look it's a certain look anyway he went he went

00:53:32.860 viral a little while ago for um just his funny sort of funny look his sort of ultra dino dino

00:53:41.340 dialed up to 11 or something and uh apparently he's just been in a brawl i think he's geordie

00:53:46.400 it's like it's like a character isn't it he's like he's a character from a sketch show

00:53:53.340 But no, it's really him

00:53:55.840 Like his name's Jack something

00:53:57.240 Like there's a picture

00:53:58.600 I mean he probably slays 0.67

00:54:01.960 He probably does really well with the ladies

00:54:03.440 But that's a haircut

00:54:05.660 I mean

00:54:06.240 I mean, again, don't get me wrong

00:54:09.900 I wish I had a head of hair as thick as that

00:54:12.760 Imagine going to the barbers

00:54:15.320 I want a Lloyd Christmas 0.99

00:54:16.820 You know Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber

00:54:18.620 Do that, but more so if anything

00:54:20.960 Bowl it up even more

00:54:23.300 Anyway

00:54:25.180 I just think it's funny

00:54:27.480 I think it is quite a funny meme

00:54:28.720 It's obviously leaning into the look now

00:54:30.720 Must be

00:54:31.440 Alright

00:54:33.080 Enough of that

00:54:34.080 That's quite enough of that

00:54:34.900 I said I wouldn't bring you much slop

00:54:36.240 That's real slop isn't it

00:54:37.900 I said I'd keep slop to a minimum

00:54:40.540 Alright let's move on

00:54:41.820 It's nearly nine

00:54:42.360 So should we have a look at

00:54:43.160 What happened on this day in history

00:54:44.380 Should we have a quick look at that

00:54:45.620 On this day in history

00:54:47.300 March the 25th

00:54:48.360 Down through the centuries

00:54:49.360 What happened of a note

00:54:50.020 Alright on this day in 31

00:54:52.840 AD

00:54:53.860 The first century AD

00:54:55.660 In the year 31 AD

00:54:57.120 So what would that be?

00:54:59.600 The age of Tiberius 0.96

00:55:00.620 Or is that just about when Caligula

00:55:03.220 That would be Tiberius

00:55:04.540 Tiberius

00:55:05.140 Christians celebrate the first Easter

00:55:07.680 According to some accounts anyway

00:55:11.300 So there you go

00:55:15.220 There you go

00:55:16.960 That would be straight after the death of

00:55:20.000 Jesus of Nazareth wouldn't it be

00:55:22.700 immediately after it basically

00:55:24.560 whether that's firm history or not

00:55:30.800 it's something else but all right

00:55:33.780 on this day in 1436

00:55:36.200 the Florence Cathedral, the Duomo

00:55:38.900 or the Santa Maria del Fiore

00:55:41.940 which was started in 1296

00:55:45.260 is consecrated by Pope Eugenie IV

00:55:49.420 it's finally finished in other words

00:55:51.240 the Duomo in Florence

00:55:53.480 if you've ever been there

00:55:54.380 I've been to Florence a number of times

00:55:55.500 it's a wonderful, wonderful city

00:55:57.500 or was

00:55:58.060 it's a bit flooded with Africans now 1.00

00:56:00.600 but until very recently

00:56:02.500 it's still a wonderful, wonderful place

00:56:04.000 Florence

00:56:04.380 I'd love to live in Tuscany

00:56:07.200 if I had endless money

00:56:08.240 if I had Elon money

00:56:09.880 one of my homes would be in rural Tuscany

00:56:13.120 it's cliched

00:56:18.640 that it's a wonderful, beautiful landscape

00:56:21.000 for a reason because it is okay anyway the duomo go in there and be awed and amazed

00:56:27.940 and the the dome brunelleschi's famous dome biggest dome in the world at the time

00:56:35.380 people marketecks to this day wonder how quiet he did it with sort of early 15th century technology

00:56:44.840 wondrous thing

00:56:46.640 and it was finished by the original

00:56:48.780 Medici

00:56:49.860 it was the Giovanni Medici wasn't it

00:56:54.300 not Cosmo de Medici

00:56:55.280 oh no

00:56:58.380 Giovanni Medici

00:57:00.440 was the building

00:57:02.780 paused for ages

00:57:04.240 I mean like decades or a century or something

00:57:06.040 they ran out of money

00:57:07.440 but then the Medici became so rich

00:57:10.380 they could just afford to finish it themselves

00:57:12.240 I think it was the original

00:57:14.400 giovanni medici started that then just before it was almost as it was finished he died and then

00:57:21.200 cosimo the first cosimo to medici not duke cosimo to medici don't get him confused finished it

00:57:28.560 okay on epochs harry

00:57:33.120 on epochs i've got multiple parts talking about the medici family the history of it

00:57:40.320 oh yeah talking all about the the renaissance in various ways got one just on michelangelo

00:57:51.280 one just on leonardo one just on the mad monk of florence um yeah okay all right that's enough

00:58:00.020 about that let's go on on this day in 1807 the british parliament abolishes the slave trade

00:58:05.540 throughout the British Empire

00:58:06.600 and a penalty of £120 per slave

00:58:08.860 is introduced for ship captains.

00:58:11.700 Oh yeah.

00:58:13.800 Eric.

00:58:15.420 Onypots got a whole long-form bit of content

00:58:17.560 all about William Wilberforce

00:58:19.680 and the story of abolitionism.

00:58:22.960 Lottery.com

00:58:23.800 for as little as £5 bronze-tier membership.

00:58:25.680 Hundreds and hundreds of hours of content behind the paywall.

00:58:28.500 Consider it.

00:58:29.420 There's not much money for what you get, really.

00:58:32.540 On this day in 1895,

00:58:34.160 Italian troops invade Abyssinia, that's a whole long story, can't get into it now, they're not

00:58:43.520 eventually booted out until the British did it in the very beginning of World War II really basically

00:58:50.880 okay on this day in 1960 first guided missile launched from a nuclear powered submarine

00:58:57.440 there you go interesting rocket technology still in its infancy

00:59:04.160 kind of i mean there was rockets at the end of world war ii weren't there but

00:59:08.060 still kind of in its infancy all right let's have a look at the rumble rants and super chats it's

00:59:13.340 nearly 9 a.m um let me do that so i can see the rumble rants what have we got here oh there's

00:59:20.200 quite a lot of rumble rants i'll whip through them st luke 91 luke stewart says g'day bo

00:59:25.040 if they get a beachhead in iran could the u.s look at arming the pop the populace to rise up

00:59:32.940 in the government giving you a lot more legitimacy just my conspiracy theory

00:59:36.980 yeah maybe I mean who knows who knows how it will go how it would play out

00:59:40.660 but I mean maybe sure that's a maybe

00:59:44.720 from me yeah who knows

00:59:48.260 and who knows what special forces and sort of

00:59:52.460 intelligence dudes are you know like CIA

00:59:55.300 CIA operatives but the type of CIA

00:59:58.620 CIA operative that's actually got

01:00:01.340 like an m16 goes around doing badass stuff basically like a special forces dude but off

01:00:08.140 the books how many of those are in persia right now in iran right now doing stuff

01:00:14.240 where would it all lead who knows i don't know okay cookieboy23 says is trump holding talks

01:00:21.960 with an indian bot maybe maybe you got to be careful when you're interacting with people

01:00:29.640 online in any way that it's not just an indian bot yeah okay luke again says the more they try

01:00:37.860 and shield boys from the manosphere the more they will find seek the manosphere and support it i

01:00:43.600 keep thinking of that old saying about the the child rejected by the village will okay i don't

01:00:50.240 know about the child rejected by the village will but i know i totally get your point and i know

01:00:53.680 what you're saying it's like the streisand effect isn't it various other things the mandela effect

01:00:58.340 Classic human psychology

01:01:01.080 The more you're told you can't do something

01:01:02.680 The more you'll look at it

01:01:04.520 Well for a start why not

01:01:06.860 I want to know why not

01:01:07.740 And then you look at it more

01:01:09.320 Just trying to prevent boys being boys 0.57

01:01:12.960 Just trying to deny biology

01:01:15.080 That men and boys

01:01:17.320 Are a little bit crazy 0.94

01:01:18.780 Young men and boys 0.97

01:01:20.640 Often, not always of course

01:01:22.260 A little bit crazy

01:01:23.820 Doing crazy stuff

01:01:28.100 You're going to try

01:01:30.680 And that's built in

01:01:31.920 It's in their DNA

01:01:33.260 That's built in

01:01:34.260 And you want to just try

01:01:35.660 And stamp that out

01:01:36.540 Even give them drugs

01:01:37.780 To just make them

01:01:38.660 It won't work

01:01:43.880 It will not work

01:01:44.860 But it's just Karens isn't it

01:01:49.800 It's basically Karens

01:01:51.000 And Cyboys 1.00

01:01:51.680 Hate normal men

01:01:54.260 Because they're threatened 0.95

01:01:56.160 By them

01:01:56.600 Isn't it

01:01:57.200 Basically

01:01:57.900 on a number of levels not necessarily physically threatened

01:02:00.260 I can't stand it

01:02:03.840 well

01:02:04.880 whatever

01:02:06.940 Luke again says

01:02:09.900 hey at least the UK didn't have

01:02:12.060 a captain destroyed 12% of their

01:02:14.020 navy you're doing better than New Zealand

01:02:16.000 yeah that was a great story that was a funny

01:02:18.000 story

01:02:18.520 Fortean Barber hey Fortean Barber you said

01:02:21.600 did you see the advanced UK treasurer

01:02:24.140 left and joined Restore

01:02:25.320 We're going to win for sure

01:02:28.020 Also I reckon George Russell needs to win the title this year

01:02:31.080 Because I think Merc will move him

01:02:33.340 Move him out after

01:02:35.500 Okay yeah maybe

01:02:36.520 I think George Russell probably will win F1 this year

01:02:39.540 And yeah I did see that the Advanced UK Treasurer

01:02:42.340 Left and joined Restore which is good and nice

01:02:44.560 I did see one or two other people posting

01:02:46.440 Things he'd said in the past

01:02:49.180 And they were pretty weak 0.99

01:02:51.320 saw Sivnat, globalist adjacent crap. But then, who knows, he might have changed his view 0.99

01:03:00.280 since he originally posted that, who knows. Either way, it's sort of good optics, isn't

01:03:04.100 it? Advance, advance is done. It's done.

01:03:12.200 It was a really big opportunity to show what it could do, to show what it was worth at

01:03:18.100 gaunton and denton and that was an epic fail getting less than the monster raving leaning

01:03:24.380 party even if they'd done really quite badly and still lost but they got something like

01:03:32.620 1500 votes or 2000 votes still completely lost but they got something like that at least you

01:03:40.480 could say that all right they lost but there's something there there's something that speaks to

01:03:48.740 people there but no they got 150 votes feel very sorry for nick buckley don't blame nick buckley

01:03:56.660 but no the party the message didn't resonate well there anyway i mean it is a very very lefty

01:04:03.060 labor place but nonetheless they had their chance to prove what they could do and it was an epic

01:04:11.500 fail all right anyway let's move on yeah why not if you're in advance leave it join restore

01:04:16.120 ben's not the dude especially now he's coming out and saying loads and loads of of anti-nativist

01:04:25.960 stuff

01:04:26.600 really

01:04:29.380 what a disappointment, the word disappointment doesn't even

01:04:33.940 cut it as far as Ben Habib

01:04:35.900 is concerned

01:04:36.540 a few more

01:04:39.900 from Luke who says

01:04:40.900 it's so annoying in South Australia

01:04:43.580 we have a massive deposit of oil

01:04:45.380 we could pump just like your North Sea oil

01:04:47.800 if government truly wanted to help start pumping

01:04:50.020 yeah, the anti-climate

01:04:52.020 lobby are mad

01:04:53.040 mad

01:04:54.440 it's the concept that all fossil fuels are it's like it's evil or dangerous to use them to tap 0.99

01:05:04.000 them and use them it's just not it's just not it's a silly crazy hoax silly liar luke again said 0.95

01:05:11.040 i find this scary if iran has as many weapons missiles now what would they look like in another 0.95

01:05:17.660 a year or so if china asked them to pop off if when they invaded taiwan it's interesting yeah 0.97

01:05:25.060 i mean that is a bit of a israeli talking point bb talk or literally a bb talking point from a

01:05:30.360 few days ago but but nonetheless it's also right let's be honest a bit of a fair point

01:05:36.400 if iran has got this many seemingly got this much ordinance now they would they would have even more

01:05:42.940 in a year's time that is true isn't it can't deny that but yeah interesting if China wanted to

01:05:50.060 invade Taiwan and they coordinated with Iran Iran decided to pop off at exactly that moment just to

01:05:57.560 extra chaos and confusion yeah interesting idea okay a couple more from cookie boy

01:06:06.380 Kigwis at 23 says

01:06:08.020 Faraj can spout whatever he likes

01:06:10.880 I'll wait and see what's actually in

01:06:12.700 Reform's contract at the general election

01:06:15.240 if they do one this time around

01:06:20.640 Got a super chat came in just the other day

01:06:24.620 like right as I was ending the show

01:06:26.740 saying something about my reading

01:06:29.000 it was hilarious or something

01:06:30.700 well the reason why it's quite stilted

01:06:33.080 is because we don't have anyone

01:06:35.580 we don't have the capacity for someone else to screen them so i actually have to read it first

01:06:41.740 before i read it out in case it's something terrible that will get the channel yeeted

01:06:47.440 or make me look terribly silly so if it's a bit stilted that's why i should try and read it

01:06:55.940 all right cookie boy 23 says the only diversity this country has ever needed is diversity of

01:07:04.280 Intellect and diversity of skill set

01:07:06.240 Yeah right

01:07:06.660 They don't want diversity of thought do they

01:07:09.780 They don't want diversity of political opinion

01:07:11.700 No not that type of diversity no

01:07:13.800 Diversity just means less white 1.00

01:07:16.460 Doesn't it

01:07:17.120 In their world in their dynamic

01:07:19.340 Diversity just means

01:07:20.840 Something that's at odds with the natives 1.00

01:07:23.960 That's what diversity means doesn't it

01:07:28.520 Screw the English people 0.97

01:07:31.280 That's what diversity means 0.76

01:07:33.220 Or in England anyway

01:07:34.480 Or wherever it is

01:07:36.260 In the US

01:07:36.840 Diversity

01:07:39.660 Yeah yeah

01:07:41.000 Very specific type of diversity

01:07:42.740 Yeah not a diversity of intellect

01:07:45.020 Or skill set

01:07:45.760 Yeah not that

01:07:46.480 Okay and the last rumble rant

01:07:52.160 From

01:07:52.800 Itchkit89

01:07:55.080 Says 0.93

01:07:55.520 Always seemed mad

01:07:57.160 That we give France money

01:07:59.260 To help secure

01:08:00.120 Our northern beaches

01:08:01.500 Their northern beaches, sorry

01:08:04.080 Why would they want to secure

01:08:07.080 Their exit when the invaders

01:08:08.860 Are already in their country 0.94

01:08:10.320 Right, yeah

01:08:11.880 Yeah, perfect

01:08:14.860 Perfect point, yeah, absolutely

01:08:16.160 It's not in France's 0.99

01:08:19.380 Interest

01:08:19.780 It is in France's interest to take as much money 0.99

01:08:22.960 From us that we

01:08:24.340 Gullibly give them and then

01:08:26.860 Do nothing about it, it's in their interest to be

01:08:28.940 Like that and do that, behave that way, isn't it

01:08:31.020 yeah all right if we got the YouTube super chats Harry can you bring that up

01:08:36.300 on my screen okay there's quite a few of these as well if I whip through them

01:12:30.240 opening doors one says

01:12:31.980 Iran

01:12:32.700 anyway Bo

01:12:33.840 do grey out

01:12:34.740 do grey outnumber

01:12:36.360 red squirrels

01:12:37.240 I believe so

01:12:39.600 yeah

01:12:39.800 I don't know

01:12:41.080 I'm no expert

01:12:41.660 but I believe there's

01:12:42.380 way more grey squirrels

01:12:43.600 than red squirrels

01:12:44.320 in Britain

01:12:44.680 in England

01:12:45.200 yeah

01:12:45.500 because red squirrels

01:12:47.220 are the native ones

01:12:48.680 aren't they

01:12:49.020 they've been outbred

01:12:50.300 and replaced

01:12:50.840 by grey ones largely

01:12:52.120 I'm pro red squirrel

01:12:56.740 myself

01:12:57.160 like any good patriot

01:12:58.860 you've got to be

01:13:01.360 you've got to be

01:13:03.140 red squirrels for the win

01:13:05.160 I believe they have suffered a demographic decline

01:13:09.480 they're cuter as well

01:13:13.380 I mean I think all squirrels are pretty cute

01:13:15.540 aren't they

01:13:15.900 I think red ones are much more so in my opinion

01:13:18.300 ok Marcos 588 says

01:13:20.880 African or European swallows

01:16:08.820 him just as you just as doom guy says the police gave him a crime reference number that's it

01:16:13.920 it's like uh isn't the whole of london one of the most heavily surveilled places in the entire world

01:16:23.840 Dozens and dozens

01:16:24.820 And dozens of times

01:16:25.640 If you wanted to investigate that

01:16:27.320 You could find the footage

01:16:29.660 Where it went

01:16:30.600 To some degree

01:16:31.500 Some investigation

01:16:32.760 Some sort of police work

01:16:34.680 Nope, nothing

01:16:35.300 Nope

01:16:36.120 We've logged it

01:16:37.160 That's it

01:16:38.560 That's it

01:16:42.620 It's mad isn't it

01:16:43.600 It's mad

01:16:44.700 What's the point of them

01:16:45.760 At that stage

01:16:47.140 What's the point of that

01:16:49.020 What does that achieve?

01:16:54.080 Yeah, so frustrating

01:16:55.380 Alright, Chris281 says

01:16:57.420 So we can stop terrorism by giving out hugs

01:17:01.880 We really don't hate the media enough

01:17:03.880 Yeah, alright, right

01:17:04.820 It's sort of what they're suggesting, isn't it?

01:17:08.380 You've invited a tiger to tea

01:17:10.440 You're now in the room

01:17:13.200 With a very, very dangerous beast

01:17:15.500 And just accept it

01:17:17.980 Offer it a cup of tea, give it a hug

01:17:20.600 Don't notice the fact that it's extremely dangerous

01:17:25.400 Yeah, what a crazy narrative to try and peddle

01:17:31.540 It's sickening isn't it, it's sickening

01:17:35.880 Okay, a lone wolf and cub, 668 says

01:17:40.400 The Strictly cast should go to Iran to hug them

01:17:45.100 Hug a hoodie

01:17:51.040 Field Marshal Dawn Browning

01:17:53.140 Doesn't say anything and just gives 10 Aussie dollars

01:17:55.980 Thank you very much Dawn, cheers love, appreciate it

01:17:58.160 Really do, really do

01:17:59.880 Hope you're doing alright as well

01:18:01.200 Of course

01:18:02.420 The Field Marshal

01:18:05.000 Okay

01:18:05.560 Principled Uncertainty says

01:18:07.960 The Iranians control the strait 1.00

01:18:11.960 And have Israel and their Gulf enemies on the ropes 0.86

01:18:14.460 any deal would involve trump giving them a performing a sexual favor upon them

01:18:23.060 can't read out exactly what you've written there i probably could but

01:18:27.300 okay now the point you're making is that the iranians have the upper hand what sort of

01:18:33.220 strategically on some level they've got them on the ropes they've got israel and the gulf

01:18:39.200 and their goal for enemies on the ropes at this exact moment in time i would agree with you yeah

01:18:45.980 i mean i think that's why the pentagon and the donald want to send in some ground troops so that

01:18:52.000 that's not the case i think that's the whole idea because yeah as it stands right this second

01:18:56.720 on the morning of the 25th yeah but if the straits of hormones could be forced open and

01:19:05.340 kept open regardless of anything iran does then that well then what you've said there will at

01:19:13.220 least be less the case won't it i think i think that's what's going on here so yeah another

01:19:20.180 interesting good take principle uncertainty appreciate it all right and the last one here

01:19:24.820 um the last one here from nicolai e beck says we cannot wait for politicians to save us

01:19:36.520 by then everyone will have mixed in and we won't be europeans anymore check the sentence if you

01:19:43.480 don't believe me and then i'm not going to read the very very last sentence you wrote there because

01:19:48.160 it's a bit too spicy and um i don't want to get the channel yeeted uh but yeah no i believe you

01:19:54.260 Don't worry about that

01:19:54.960 I talk about demographics

01:19:56.180 All the time

01:19:56.640 Don't I

01:19:56.860 Demographics are destiny 1.00

01:19:58.000 Yeah
