00:00:45.780 around isn't it that's far too much fannying about let's just get straight on with it what's

00:00:48.900 the legacy corporate mainstream media banging on about this morning what's that cabal of evil

00:00:52.500 fleet street editors lying to us about by omission if by nothing else we've got

00:00:55.540 Workers face new tax

00:00:58.540 Of course they do

00:00:59.960 Of course they do

00:01:02.440 It's Andy Burnham and the Labour Party

00:01:05.220 Pinkos, socialists

00:01:07.820 Of course there's new taxes

00:01:09.620 And Fury over FIFA plan

00:01:12.780 This is one of the main things in the news cycle today this morning

00:01:15.880 Nearly all the front pages

00:01:18.480 Nearly all of them are going with the same story

00:01:20.320 Out of anything they could go with in the entire world

00:01:22.600 Don't tell me they're not in cahoots

00:01:25.980 Don't tell me that it's not one cabal

00:01:28.740 Out of everything they could report on in the world

00:01:32.580 Nearly all of them, or 80% of them

00:01:34.300 Go with some story

00:01:36.000 It's a story about FIFA, we'll get into it

00:01:37.920 But it's not

00:01:38.440 I mean, if you really care about

00:01:42.000 World football governance

00:01:43.940 It's a big story

00:01:44.980 If you're not, then

00:01:46.920 It's not a big deal

00:01:49.880 Alright, shall we get into it?

00:01:51.120 What have we got first? The Telegraph

00:01:52.300 Bear Grylls said something

00:01:53.640 Don't care

00:01:54.180 Isn't he a bit of a charlatan 0.96

00:01:55.440 Isn't he 0.84

00:01:56.780 Bear

00:01:57.780 Didn't you

00:02:00.260 Stay in hotels

00:02:01.780 When you pretended

00:02:02.380 You were sleeping out

00:02:03.260 Rough in the wilderness

00:02:04.380 Is that true

00:02:06.680 I heard that

00:02:08.180 I actually didn't

00:02:08.760 Independently verify it

00:02:10.140 But I have heard that

00:02:11.660 People always said that

00:02:12.540 Don't they

00:02:12.860 If that's not true

00:02:14.480 Apologies Bear

00:02:15.240 Apologies Mr Grylls

00:02:17.140 If it is true

00:02:18.540 Get away from me

00:02:20.580 Cheater

00:02:21.440 Alright

00:02:22.560 This isn't a particularly famous person or anything

00:02:25.040 It's Glorious Goodwood

00:02:25.740 It's a big horse racing meet

00:02:28.160 No biggie

00:02:30.840 Right

00:02:31.160 Workers face new tax to fund social care

00:02:33.860 Health officials draw up plans

00:02:35.880 For 1.8% levy on earnings

00:02:38.340 To pay for Burnham's reforms

00:02:39.840 Just more tax

00:02:40.640 1.8% earnings on everyone's income

00:02:43.220 The idea

00:02:45.920 It's only really being floated by Burnham's camp

00:02:49.400 We're only really talking about

00:02:51.200 again parliament's not even sitting at the moment so they're far it's far from becoming law but it's

00:02:57.900 what they're talking about um and it's something like an nhs free at the point of use for everybody

00:03:03.360 for social care you know when you get old

00:03:06.300 and the other big element of it that andy burnham's people are talking about

00:03:14.320 is he wants to do away with private social care

00:03:20.080 or private old age care. 0.81

00:03:22.640 You know, you can just pay for old people's homes,

00:03:26.660 just straight up.

00:03:27.360 It's just a company, it's just a private enterprise.

00:03:29.340 He wants to do away with any of that.

00:03:33.560 I mean, broadly speaking, politically, ideologically speaking,

00:03:36.940 I'm not necessarily for the nationalisation of things.

00:03:39.640 We've been through this a number of times, haven't we,

00:03:41.600 on the Bo Show.

00:03:42.220 Sometimes it's important, I think, sometimes not.

00:03:44.320 Usually not, but there's certainly cases aren't there, aren't there, of course,

00:03:49.480 of private old-age people's homes employing monstrous people 0.66

00:03:56.480 who are very, very cruel and unusual to the old people. 0.89

00:04:03.540 Would that necessarily change if it was a nationalised body organisation? 1.00

00:04:11.060 Not if they're still employing the same people.

00:04:14.320 Quite often people from Sub-Saharan Africa 1.00

00:04:17.920 Alright, Burnham just wants to tax everyone more 1.00

00:04:23.680 To pay for the equivalent of an NHS for old people's homes 0.99

00:04:30.020 Okay 0.81

00:04:33.880 Well, you know the millions of people 0.56

00:04:36.580 You've allowed this country to be flooded in by

00:04:39.460 10 to 20 million since 1997

00:04:41.320 You know all those people

00:04:42.160 You know they get old, right?

00:04:44.320 they in turn will get old

00:04:47.660 they've invited in millions of people in order to help care

00:04:53.040 for our ageing population

00:04:55.300 you know they themselves in turn then get old

00:04:58.020 so where does that end, how does that make sense?

00:05:05.700 Infantinos, that's the head of FIFA

00:05:08.100 the world football governing body

00:05:10.160 his 15 billion pound plan to sell off world cup a lot of the headlines are like that written like

00:05:17.660 that well if you just read the headline you think wait what you're selling the world cup

00:05:22.960 what the actual physical trophy what the entire franchise of the entire world cup tournament no

00:05:30.060 that's not what it is it's not what it is what it is in a nutshell let's talk about it now i suppose

00:05:35.560 get out of the way. I'm not that interested in this story, but it is one of the main stories

00:05:40.800 in the news cycle. FIFA want to make a private company which will then sell the rights to

00:05:49.940 advertising commercials during World Cups. And that company will be owned by FIFA, just

00:05:58.740 not entirely owned by FIFA. Like a big chunk of it will be sold to private investors. One

00:06:04.500 One of the big ones, the news keeps saying over and over again, is Jared Kushner's brother.

00:06:10.640 Was it Joshua Kushner?

00:06:11.640 I didn't even know it existed until this morning.

00:06:14.060 I didn't know Jared Kushner had a little brother called Joshua until this morning.

00:06:19.260 But he's also super rich or some sort of big time investor or something, or has an asset

00:06:24.340 management firm or a hedge fund or something rather, he's got loads of money to be investing

00:06:28.180 around the place.

00:06:31.180 And apparently, Infantino, Gianni Infantino,

00:06:37.160 wants to sell a big chunk of it to private investors, including him.

00:06:42.220 All right, well.

00:06:43.900 A bit of the story is that perhaps Infantino himself

00:06:46.960 will pocket millions of dollars or pounds from this.

00:06:53.360 And most people, all sorts of voices from all over the spectrum

00:06:57.440 have been saying, no, that's not a good idea.

00:06:58.920 From UEFA, the European football governing body

00:07:02.220 UEFA, Seth Blatter, even a previous FIFA top dog

00:07:06.960 Who was famously, allegedly quite corrupt

00:07:10.580 Even he was like, no don't do this

00:07:12.740 Andy Burnham's chipped in

00:07:14.080 Football's for the fans, will always be for the fans

00:07:16.820 You can't sell it

00:07:18.000 That's basically it

00:07:21.100 That's basically all the data points around that

00:07:23.780 Okay, but nearly all the papers are going with it

00:07:28.780 You know, rather than talk about important things

00:07:30.820 Like our invasion 0.99

00:07:32.200 Demographic replacement 0.99

00:07:34.360 The insane rate of rapes in this country 1.00

00:07:37.440 At the hands of essentially foreign people 1.00

00:07:40.620 Don't talk about that 1.00

00:07:41.820 No, no, no

00:07:42.660 Just talk about FIFA

00:07:44.920 Alright

00:07:47.360 What have we got?

00:07:48.320 The Guardian

00:07:48.800 The Guardian

00:07:58.780 Right, Burnham calls for consensus on urgent fix for social care crisis

00:08:05.140 Prime Minister invites Lib Dems and Tory leaders to meeting today to explore a solution

00:08:11.340 I found this quite interesting because it speaks of Burnham playing a slightly different game to Starmer politically

00:08:25.520 at first blush you might just think oh the prime minister's just simply trying to build

00:08:31.160 sort of cross benches cross party consensus or something good what's wrong with that

00:08:36.420 absolutely nothing wrong with that why not if uh if all the main part all the big parties can sort

00:08:42.020 of uh agree on things that would be better unity in income in government in power yeah all good

00:08:48.580 all good. In the past, and I'm talking like centuries, or in the early first half of the

00:08:58.060 20th century, it was much more common, depending, depending, much more common for parties to

00:09:04.460 sort of talk amongst each other a bit more, get a bit more consensus between parties. Not always,

00:09:10.160 not always. Someone might go, actually, in the 1870s there was far less consensus there is today,

00:09:18.000 or whatever you know but sometimes they would have party um governments where one party would

00:09:23.960 be the ruling leading party but they'd actually pick individuals from the other parties to be

00:09:29.540 members of the cabinet and in government right that that would sometimes happen i mean the only

00:09:34.900 example in recent times i can think of the only example really is where trump uh picked uh rfk

00:09:42.920 jr didn't he robert kennedy jr is part of trump's government isn't he still i think he still is

00:09:52.320 not that he's i mean he was a democrat wasn't he rfk but then the democrats kicked him out so he's

00:09:59.620 just sort of an independent sort of a floating politician that's the closest thing i can think

00:10:04.500 of but in the past in the again like more like the 18th 19th century there'd be someone on the

00:10:09.300 other bench that was known to be the master of policy to do with India or something and they're

00:10:15.660 in the other party but they'd be invited to be in government all right so okay we just don't do that

00:10:21.300 anymore do we in Britain definitely most places you know in the west they just don't really do

00:10:26.800 that anymore um so at first you think okay fine but then as soon as I was thinking about it for

00:10:33.660 a moment I was like hmm why would Burnham fill the need why would he do that though he's got a

00:10:41.480 majority of over 160 was it 166 they did have a majority of like over 170 to begin with because

00:10:50.200 of various things I think their majority now is 166 so on paper Andy Burnham should not need

00:11:02.600 at all to have any support from the Tories or the Lib Dems just absolutely ignore them essentially

00:11:12.940 when it well when it comes to votes in Parliament having a majority of 66 is pretty healthy

00:11:18.280 that's pretty good if you've got a majority of 66 you shouldn't need to have to reach out to

00:11:24.140 the other benches 166 it should be a slam dunk whatever you want to do in Parliament it gets

00:11:30.720 done because you just easily win any vote every single time but there's a wild card in there

00:11:37.060 isn't there can you guess what it is that the left of the Labour Party don't do as they're told

00:11:46.060 just simply don't do as they're told or asked if there's anything they don't like doesn't matter

00:11:53.440 if there's a three-line whip or they're threatened with being expelled or anything they just they

00:11:58.840 just don't vote for it. They undermine the government and force their own leadership

00:12:03.660 into a U-turn. That's what Starmer's government was characterised by, essentially, wasn't

00:12:09.360 it? U-turn after U-turn after U-turn, because the left of his own party just won't behave,

00:12:15.080 just won't fall in line and do as they're asked. It's their only real, real job, in

00:12:21.280 a way. That's more to it than that, of course, that's very low resolution. But anyway, their

00:12:24.460 only real job in parliament is to do what their own leadership asks them to do and they don't

00:12:30.520 so that's why surely that's why the PM is reaching out to Lib Dems and Tories because he may not have

00:12:40.060 the votes in his own party to do what he wants to do so to undermine that to combat that

00:12:47.740 to hit back at the left of the Labour Party or what if I get a few dozen

00:12:52.540 Tories or Lib Dems

00:12:54.500 And then don't need you guys

00:12:55.960 Is that what's going on here

00:13:00.340 I think it is, I think it must be

00:13:01.380 Because otherwise why would Andy Burnham

00:13:04.380 Just invite the Lib Dems

00:13:06.640 And particularly the Tories 1.00

00:13:07.700 To the table, let's talk Turkey guys 1.00

00:13:09.780 What can we do 1.00

00:13:11.220 Let's make some deals here

00:13:13.600 You shouldn't need to

00:13:15.320 Majority of 166, that's massive

00:13:17.340 It's massive

00:13:18.060 The Commonwealth Games

00:13:21.660 have started don't really care tory mp's shots claimed dismissed by france oh yeah that's a

00:13:27.700 story that chris phillip that's the tory um isn't he the tory shadow home secretary isn't he i think

00:13:35.880 he is yeah is that right he was just on a boat in the channel the english channel and the french

00:13:42.920 Fired some shots

00:13:44.840 A French ship

00:13:47.840 Fired some shots

00:13:49.260 And apparently he went on his social media

00:13:52.060 Sort of immediately

00:13:52.900 Saying oh

00:13:54.380 I'm not sure exactly what he said

00:13:56.180 This article doesn't quote him directly

00:13:57.840 He effectively said like

00:14:00.000 I'm under attack

00:14:01.560 I think I might be under attack

00:14:02.660 Something's amiss here

00:14:04.440 Something's

00:14:05.740 And the French just said 0.85

00:14:08.380 No, no, no, no, no

00:14:09.420 That's completely

00:14:10.380 Calm down

00:14:12.640 that's completely for a start we didn't even know you're on that boat it's nothing to do with you

00:14:15.960 chris philip secondly this is a completely normal thing that happens all the time all the time we

00:14:21.900 fire a shot like in that way for some particular reason training right it's high name we do a shot

00:14:29.540 every afternoon or something it wasn't that but you know it was just it was just nothing a complete

00:14:33.620 nothing thing and chris philip got his knickers in a twist about it not a big story but okay

00:14:39.940 deaths feared as 6.8 quake hits japan yeah it's been a big earthquake in japan and like

00:14:47.300 like at least i saw an image where a big bridge fell down and uh like something a lot some people

00:14:54.480 will be dead in fact let's look there we go look on the ft that's a bridge in japan devastation

00:15:01.000 many deaths feared after strong earthquake wreaks havoc in southern japan

00:15:04.860 Yeah

00:15:09.460 I've got no trite comment for that

00:15:12.060 That's bad isn't it

00:15:14.120 Yeah

00:15:16.980 In England

00:15:19.380 We are sort of blessed as one of those places

00:15:22.460 In the world where there's no giant fault lines

00:15:24.720 There's no volcanoes

00:15:26.380 Right

00:15:28.100 We haven't got very many

00:15:29.820 Hardly any, not really any deadly poisonous insects

00:15:32.760 There's no giant game

00:15:34.800 running around the countryside

00:15:36.140 that might kill you

00:15:37.180 other than perhaps 0.99

00:15:38.340 the Beast of Bodmin.

00:15:41.300 Being gored by an adult male deer

00:15:43.520 probably won't be fun

00:15:44.280 but largely

00:15:44.860 largely England is

00:15:47.140 like really quite safe

00:15:48.280 in most ways.

00:15:49.260 We don't have to

00:15:49.540 we get tiny earthquakes

00:15:51.280 from time to time

00:15:51.780 like tiny ones

00:15:52.520 that you barely

00:15:53.020 like your wardrobe

00:15:54.900 might rattle a bit

00:15:55.840 like one, two

00:15:59.120 on the Richter scale

00:15:59.940 or whatever.

00:16:00.360 Nothing.

00:16:01.160 We basically don't really

00:16:02.200 get earthquakes of any note

00:16:03.240 and as I say

00:16:04.400 there's not a single volcano

00:16:06.880 like the closest volcano to here is what

00:16:09.260 bloody

00:16:10.720 Vesuvius, oh no that's extinct

00:16:12.860 Etna

00:16:13.820 so yeah

00:16:18.300 we get like one hurricane every

00:16:21.160 20 years or something

00:16:22.520 but Japan 1.00

00:16:25.360 Japan's a whole different kettle of fish isn't it 1.00

00:16:28.520 so yeah there's been a big 1.00

00:16:30.080 one in Japan

00:16:31.120 alright

00:16:32.700 Thoughts and prayers

00:16:36.140 With the Nipponese 0.98

00:16:38.880 The times, the venerable times 0.97

00:16:41.740 Oh, that's

00:16:44.820 That Fantino

00:16:48.520 That Fantino dude

00:16:49.580 Nice haircut, by the way

00:16:51.500 Actually, it reminds me

00:16:54.320 I need a haircut badly

00:16:55.840 Shouldn't let it get this long

00:16:57.360 If you're a bald dude

00:16:59.900 Going with the cue ball look

00:17:01.160 You've got to keep it dead short

00:17:02.560 This is way too long

00:17:03.460 I'm on the podcast later

00:17:05.140 I'll get it cut before then I think

00:17:06.660 Pop out

00:17:07.560 Get a quick buzz

00:17:08.780 Alright

00:17:11.000 He's selling the World Cup

00:17:13.120 The World Cup is being sold

00:17:15.660 It's not really

00:17:17.820 Red card for FIFA's plan to sell World Cup

00:17:21.740 Clever wordplay there

00:17:23.140 Do you get the double meaning red card

00:17:25.400 Because

00:17:25.660 Because in football they give you red cards

00:17:42.400 Oh, that's right, I don't care what Caitlin Moran says about anything ever

00:17:44.640 Okay, The Express

00:17:46.380 It's a good paper

00:17:48.120 You can read your Express now

00:17:58.620 Okay

00:18:03.920 Mourners remember Penelope's good life

00:18:06.160 Remember we talked about Penelope Keith

00:18:07.840 From to the manor born

00:18:09.480 And the good life she died

00:18:10.740 It was her funeral

00:18:11.860 Okay, good woods happening

00:18:13.700 Big horse racing thing

00:18:15.480 Two million missing out on social care they need 1.00

00:18:18.660 It'll only get worse 1.00

00:18:26.860 You've imported millions

00:18:28.320 of new people what happens to the social care system when they are old you know you haven't

00:18:36.480 didn't think about that did you blair didn't think about that when he wanted to rub our noses in

00:18:40.740 diversity did he cameron didn't really think about that did he boris didn't really think about that

00:18:48.460 did he? Rishi didn't care about that. You can only surmise. Okay. The Metro, oof. Oof.

00:19:03.000 What an embarrassment

00:19:05.260 National embarrassment

00:19:08.100 Of the Metro

00:19:09.240 Absolute filth 1.00

00:19:12.700 Disgusting 0.99

00:19:17.080 It's a shame 0.99

00:19:18.580 The Metro's a shame

00:19:20.620 Right but 1.00

00:19:21.840 Burnham's offer to families on benefits

00:19:26.420 4k, 4,000 pounds 0.99

00:19:28.140 If you let your children learn a trade

00:19:31.380 Now bear with me here

00:19:34.020 Bursary to stop money

00:19:36.680 To stop households losing out on cash

00:19:39.820 PM vows

00:19:43.060 Few are not in job, school or training 0.84

00:19:46.860 Okay, the story is

00:19:49.000 And it's on a few of the other front pages

00:19:50.580 Oh yeah, let's just go

00:19:52.380 Let's just sack off the metro

00:19:54.820 And go straight to the mail

00:19:55.840 Because there's a bit more

00:19:56.640 Burn and benefits

00:19:58.020 Same story

00:19:58.880 Burn and benefits

00:19:59.860 Quote bribe 0.94

00:20:00.900 For parents of apprentices

00:20:02.500 They will receive state handout

00:20:06.020 Of £4,500 per year

00:20:07.840 If their children choose job

00:20:10.900 Over living on welfare

00:20:12.600 Uh

00:20:14.020 Wait

00:20:16.160 What now?

00:20:19.240 Sorry, how does that make sense?

00:20:22.740 Wait

00:20:23.380 If they come off welfare and get a job

00:20:25.580 They get welfare

00:20:26.980 Is that what you're saying? 0.99

00:20:30.900 what are you saying it's so it's so ridiculous 0.94

00:20:37.040 and burnham's and labour have like realized there's too many neats 0.76

00:20:42.300 you know young people not in education or or work and it's so uh lucrative is probably an over

00:20:51.300 overstatement but it's worth sort of just staying on benefits rather than getting a minimum wage

00:20:57.060 job or a low-paid job, you just get more money that way. So in order to entice younger people

00:21:06.340 to go out and get a job or go into education, therefore losing their benefits,

00:21:16.140 in order to entice them to do that will give you benefits, will give you money, state money to do

00:21:23.580 so

00:21:25.440 it's not just me right

00:21:28.960 that that doesn't make sense

00:21:31.140 that that's crazy

00:21:31.860 that's crazy talk

00:21:33.960 that sort of 1984

00:21:36.700 double think level

00:21:38.320 insanity

00:21:39.900 there you go 0.96

00:21:44.840 that's reds for you

00:21:48.220 that's socialists and fabians 0.82

00:21:49.920 for you 1.00

00:21:50.700 Just insane nonsense 1.00

00:21:54.100 Just a string of insane nonsense 0.92

00:21:56.680 That will bankrupt the country 0.84

00:21:58.520 And ruin our economy

00:22:00.260 It doesn't have to make sense

00:22:03.640 It doesn't have to add up

00:22:05.420 They'll just say it and do it

00:22:09.400 And hope that there's enough normies

00:22:11.460 That don't pay enough attention

00:22:12.820 Okay, the Financial Times

00:22:19.380 burnham to seek private sector deals in growth push this is there's a balancing act isn't there

00:22:27.320 particularly if you're a leftist government to do all the leftist things you want to do

00:22:31.880 but then also you do have to with the other hand

00:22:36.160 give something to business and the private sector and the free market

00:22:42.820 Otherwise they'll sort of go crazy

00:22:46.320 A balancing act

00:22:48.740 We're going to do all these socialist things

00:22:50.500 Crazy socialist things

00:22:51.940 But also we love business

00:22:53.800 We're a friend of business though

00:22:55.020 Also

00:22:55.440 Does anyone believe it?

00:23:00.020 Burnham to seek private sector deals

00:23:02.460 Is he? 0.58

00:23:05.240 They're going to wheel out Angela Rayner 0.97

00:23:07.220 And so she can 0.99

00:23:08.740 She can soothe relations

00:23:10.580 Between number 10

00:23:12.440 And the city

00:23:14.020 Yeah right

00:23:17.260 Yeah right

00:23:18.680 Even the FT goes with that football

00:23:24.400 Infantino told football

00:23:26.300 Not FIFA's to sell

00:23:27.920 I mean

00:23:36.880 He won't be breaking any laws

00:23:38.040 Might be what you might call

00:23:41.140 In bad taste or unfair or not right

00:23:43.840 But he won't be breaking any laws

00:23:45.340 Okay

00:23:48.840 James O'Brien has said something

00:23:53.900 Is James O'Brien struggling with alcoholism

00:23:59.340 Just asking the question

00:24:00.500 His face seems to suggest so

00:24:04.780 That's an old picture isn't it

00:24:07.060 He's way fatter than that isn't he

00:24:09.080 Is that picture like 15 years old

00:24:10.920 James O'Brien says

00:24:14.440 Flag-hanging bozos 1.00

00:24:16.980 Will hate this 1.00

00:24:20.260 But genuine patriots at last feel hope

00:24:22.960 Not interested in what he's actually got to say 1.00

00:24:25.400 Whatever stupid, perverse take he's trying to peddle 1.00

00:24:30.520 Whatever subversive slop 1.00

00:24:33.640 Whatever weirdo, freakish take he's going to try and peddle there 0.98

00:24:39.520 Don't care

00:24:40.140 fears for british wildlife haven as raw sewage being illegally dumped into the sea

00:24:50.880 yeah i'm one of those people you know if you watch the bow show regularly you know i rail

00:25:00.700 against uh the climate hoax and the idea that man-made co2 man-made co2 drives

00:25:09.800 climate change no it doesn't however i do i am against in all sorts of ways just pollution

00:25:17.880 it's funny isn't it how the green the green lobby they try and wrap it all together in one

00:25:23.800 don't they they try and make it all one big thing

00:25:28.840 but man that climate change and pollution are just one and the same thing you can't be concerned

00:25:36.840 about one without the other no no no i'm very much against pollution we should clear up our rivers

00:25:43.800 we shouldn't be dumping sewage in rivers in the sea yeah of course of course

00:25:51.640 you know in uh is it in uh is it in the atlantic there's just like a giant floating piece of uh

00:25:59.320 trash that's like the size of a state you know that is it in the sargasso sea anyway

00:26:06.840 I'm for getting rid of that, cleaning that up 0.52

00:26:10.200 I'm for keeping sort of virgin wildernesses

00:26:16.240 As pristine as possible, all that sort of thing

00:26:19.420 Wildlife reserves, natural, national parks and things

00:26:23.360 Yeah, I'm all for that sort of thing, yeah

00:26:24.600 Yeah, dumping sewage in the sea legally

00:26:29.760 Well, in Boast Britain

00:26:31.380 We would get tougher on that sort of thing

00:26:33.920 Why not?

00:26:35.920 Why not?

00:26:36.840 Fury over FIFA's plan to sell off World Cup

00:26:42.580 Okay, we've done that

00:26:43.520 Holly Willabooby 1.00

00:26:45.660 Has got an online show now, apparently

00:26:48.440 I'm not

00:26:50.060 Interested in searching for it or looking for it

00:26:52.580 Or anything

00:26:52.880 But when she was axed off the TV

00:26:55.400 And she started an online show

00:26:58.600 I don't even know if it's on YouTube or whatever

00:27:00.000 And a lot of the papers

00:27:02.100 In the news cycle

00:27:03.660 They're slagging it off

00:27:05.720 I'm saying she's lost her touch, it's not very good

00:27:08.480 Seems a bit mean

00:27:10.120 I've got no intention of checking it out for myself

00:27:14.440 To give you my take

00:27:15.520 Just not interested in that

00:27:18.340 But there you go, the legacy corporate lamestream media are talking about it

00:27:22.660 They'll have to build someone up just to knock them down, don't they?

00:27:27.520 Something about George Michael, don't care

00:27:29.780 The late George Michael

00:27:32.460 Something about his best friend and his estate

00:27:38.500 And the rights to something or other

00:27:40.680 Don't care

00:27:41.140 Football again

00:27:43.320 We don't care

00:27:43.820 For sale, is it?

00:27:46.680 Is it?

00:27:47.980 I think we're overstating it a bit

00:27:49.240 Calm down

00:27:50.940 I know it's misdirection, the son

00:27:54.220 I know your entire raison d'etre

00:27:56.200 Is misdirection

00:27:58.440 And not talking about the things

00:28:00.240 That are existential threats to this country

00:28:01.880 I know that

00:28:02.400 But calm down a bit

00:28:03.940 Yeah

00:28:06.360 You're overdoing it a bit aren't you

00:28:08.680 Yeah

00:28:10.620 The star

00:28:34.880 Where a wildfire came through

00:28:37.200 It's climate change

00:28:39.900 Man-made CO2

00:28:42.020 Even though it's less than 300 parts per million

00:28:45.760 It's changing our world

00:28:50.160 And if we're not careful

00:28:51.040 There'll be a runaway greenhouse effect like Venus

00:28:53.780 And we won't have any ice caps anymore

00:28:56.140 Sea levels will rise

00:28:58.860 And there won't be a New York anymore

00:29:00.780 It'll be underwater

00:30:17.980 For all time, ultimately, wiping us out 1.00

00:30:20.480 Not going to talk about any of that

00:30:22.000 You talk about one random murder

00:30:24.720 That happened in 1986

00:30:25.980 Alright, we get it, I understand

00:30:40.320 Stellar job

00:30:42.560 Well done

00:30:43.840 And I wonder fewer and fewer people buy your paper

00:30:49.840 Or take you seriously or have any trust in you

00:30:55.740 Because we know, we see what you're doing

00:30:58.160 You're lying to us by omission every day

00:31:02.320 Every day

00:31:04.380 Trying to tell us what is and isn't important

00:31:07.780 You're not reporting on things that are genuinely important

00:31:13.680 Are you?

00:31:18.800 Look, here's Caitlin Moran

00:31:20.380 Yeah?

00:31:22.280 Here's an opinion piece from James O'Brien

00:31:24.080 Complaining about flags or whatever

00:31:26.160 You think we don't see you? 1.00

00:31:34.540 You think we're stupid? 1.00

00:31:39.840 Alright, let's do our poll 1.00

00:31:40.900 We did a poll today, didn't we?

00:31:41.980 this is about the time in the show we have a look at the poll i've got to finish from around nine

00:31:46.320 not too long after nine this morning because i'm on the podcast so i can't do an hour and a half

00:31:51.400 an hour and forty today so let's have a look at our poll harry sorry sorry alistair alistair would

00:31:58.480 you bring up the poll because you have to click that the producer people i don't do that so okay

00:32:03.640 bring that up for me oh is it there oh there it is okay let me do this with my mic bang it's warm

00:32:10.140 in here today i've got a bit of sheet a bit of a sheen going on a bit of a martin sheen going on

00:32:17.220 all right we asked you guys oh it's one of those days where we asked the poll was just nothing to

00:32:24.960 do with the news cycle anyone that watches breakfast with beau the beau show hashtag the

00:32:30.560 real bbc beau's breakfast club hashtag the real lbc lotus eaters breakfast club anyone that watches

00:32:37.200 it regularly knows that most days nearly every day our poll will be something to do with what's

00:32:42.040 in the news cycle sometimes we don't know do we sometimes we just ask you about like your favorite

00:32:46.800 indiana jones film or something well that's one of these days we asked you guys who is the best

00:32:53.240 top gear presenter and looking at it here it's like the old the old lineup the proper lineup

00:32:58.400 we gave you the option of jeremy clarks and james may and richard hammond

00:33:04.260 and Jezza has it by a clear by a clear margin I would be clicking on on Jez 83% easily won it

00:33:15.280 James May 12% Richard Hammond 5% Richard the Hamster Hammond coming in at only 5%

00:33:24.680 I would be clicking Clarkson of course he's the best one obviously

00:33:27.720 I think I always quite like James May though at first I didn't like James May I was like why

00:33:33.460 is this guy on tv why is he i don't i don't get it it just seems like he seems like really dull

00:33:40.920 there's nothing wrong with him i don't hate his guts it's not like obnoxious particularly but

00:33:46.880 like why him out of a million other people and then he grows on you doesn't he james may a bit

00:33:51.780 we did on me over the years i'm like oh i get i get it i get it now i quite like james may

00:33:58.400 but the winner is clarkson isn't he it's obviously clarkson it's the best one

00:34:03.460 all right there you go all right let's have a look at some of the other stories we've got

00:34:09.840 we often check in with the price price of crude on the open market don't we let's have a look

00:34:14.800 here what we got okay west texas is down to 82 it's down from yesterday 82 and brent is about 87

00:34:26.840 and a half dollars remarkable really I still think it doesn't translate into what we pay at the petrol

00:34:34.040 pump though does it nonetheless if you remember at the start of this war in February before those

00:34:40.900 first strikes on the Ayatollah Khomeini in Tehran the price of oil roughly was about 78 79 dollars

00:34:49.700 eighty dollars odd roughly at the start of this war in february it's now a bit more than that not

00:34:57.840 much more than that so before i'll say again if you'd asked me in like early february or january

00:35:09.340 this year when no one knew that israel and the us were going to do this thing in persia

00:35:15.740 kick off basically a full-scale Persian war Alexander style what would the price of crude

00:35:25.460 be like five months into that and that the Strait of Hormuz had been closed a bunch of times

00:35:31.680 being blockaded from both ends what would the price of crude be I would say really high

00:35:38.160 fantastically high maybe all-time hires 130 140 150 dollars a barrel maybe a crazy all-time

00:35:45.500 higher, $200 a barrel, God knows. And that would have been a reasonable thing to say.

00:35:53.080 That would have seemed like an absolutely reasonable take. There's no reason not to

00:35:57.660 think that would happen. Well, here we are. Here we are. Under $90 a barrel. Significantly

00:36:04.860 under $90 a barrel. Right now, anyway. As of the morning of Wednesday the 29th.

00:36:09.640 I guess by this point you know five months in getting towards six months in

00:36:17.240 a lot of the world has started making plans to get their crude and natural gas and other things

00:36:27.080 like fertilizer from other places source them from other places in the world

00:36:30.140 I think a lot of the trading desks that actually trade commodities trading desks that trade in

00:36:38.000 Crude oil

00:36:39.300 And natural gas and stuff

00:36:40.640 They've factored it all in

00:36:43.460 At this point

00:36:44.780 Kind of, basically

00:36:46.060 Okay, alright, that's enough of that

00:36:51.400 What else have we got in the news

00:36:53.600 We had, oh yeah

00:36:55.880 Jared Leto

00:36:57.240 Mr Leto

00:37:01.300 Might be in a spot of bother

00:37:03.340 Four women accused

00:37:07.240 Jared Leto of criminal sexual conduct

00:37:09.360 when they were teenagers.

00:37:13.400 People have suspected

00:37:15.240 he's been a wrong'un for a long time, 1.00

00:37:17.400 haven't they?

00:37:20.160 A bit like Russell Brand.

00:37:23.400 Hasn't yet been

00:37:25.200 convicted in open court of any

00:37:27.300 wrongdoing, and yet rumours

00:37:29.420 have swirled around them

00:37:31.160 for years and years and years and years.

00:37:33.640 I'm not alleging anything myself

00:37:38.980 But

00:37:40.700 Of course

00:37:42.400 Never met him

00:37:44.540 He never touched me

00:37:45.500 Leto nor brand

00:37:48.460 But

00:37:50.060 It's not new is it

00:37:53.260 What

00:37:53.640 Jared Leto

00:37:56.880 Jared Leto

00:37:59.140 Is

00:38:00.220 A kiddie fiddler

00:38:04.100 17, 19, 17

00:38:06.220 16, 14

00:38:08.840 10 women have spoken to the BBC

00:38:13.160 And online, for what that's worth

00:38:16.800 Which isn't much, but just people online

00:38:18.340 Haven't actually formally come forward

00:38:20.000 To police or investigators

00:38:22.400 More like 120 women 0.98

00:38:23.880 Dating back to the 90s 0.93

00:38:26.840 And that people around him

00:38:32.580 In his band

00:38:33.320 Because he's not just a film actress

00:38:35.720 He's also in a band

00:38:36.640 Has been four years

00:38:39.260 Since the late 90s

00:38:40.260 Just say yeah

00:38:41.900 You know

00:38:42.880 He would invite 1.00

00:38:43.800 Really young girls 1.00

00:38:45.100 Sort of under 18 girls 1.00

00:38:46.160 To like go backstage 1.00

00:38:47.240 And go back to his home

00:38:48.520 With him and stuff

00:38:49.200 Okay

00:38:52.480 Jared Leto

00:38:54.900 What's his band called

00:38:57.520 30 Seconds to Mars

00:38:59.440 That's his band

00:39:00.240 I've never heard a single song

00:39:03.780 Of them

00:39:04.340 I couldn't tell you a single song

00:39:05.680 Okay 1.00

00:39:07.740 Yeah these women coming out now 1.00

00:39:11.620 A lot of them 1.00

00:39:12.100 They say the stuff happened

00:39:13.200 In like the really early 2000s

00:39:15.140 When they were young

00:39:16.820 Jared Leto

00:39:19.880 Age is just a number

00:39:23.400 Okay Jared

00:39:24.140 oh okay sure yeah I don't know you could believe it okay there's all sorts of

00:39:40.220 rumors around that he he's like he tries to build up some sort of cult of

00:39:43.520 personality around himself don't know if that's true that's again just rumors

00:39:46.940 what people say. Getting their parallels with Mr. Brand. Thinks of himself in some

00:39:57.940 sense as a cult-like figure. Would like to think of himself as something more than merely

00:40:16.700 man

00:40:17.240 I don't know

00:40:19.880 I'm joking

00:40:20.260 yeah

00:40:22.160 Jared Leto

00:40:23.320 might

00:40:23.760 might

00:40:24.280 be

00:40:24.860 a sex criminal 1.00

00:40:25.820 there you go 1.00

00:40:33.480 yeah he has

00:40:34.740 refused to apologise

00:40:35.380 apparently that's

00:40:35.900 like the latest

00:40:36.500 the last 24 hours

00:40:37.260 in the news cycle

00:40:37.880 you know 0.92

00:40:44.240 yeah

00:40:44.960 David Pauldin

00:40:47.320 this freak

00:40:49.500 this enemy of the people

00:40:51.660 and the state

00:40:52.320 can't even bring himself to apologise

00:40:55.340 I can't stand looking at him 1.00

00:40:59.320 he's truly dysgenic

00:41:01.700 at a glance 0.56

00:41:03.520 a freak

00:41:04.880 I do need to finish

00:41:11.680 not long after 9

00:41:13.040 oh here's a story

00:41:13.820 here's a story from the BBC

00:41:15.420 report on Jewish diaspora

00:41:17.840 finds biggest rise in anti-semitism

00:41:20.000 in UK

00:41:20.500 alright

00:41:22.760 I read this article

00:41:24.700 alright

00:41:27.240 it's all about how there's been

00:41:29.680 a giant jump in anti-semitic

00:41:32.220 hate crimes

00:41:33.460 in the UK

00:41:34.700 and look how long this article is

00:41:37.600 and there's not one

00:41:39.900 mention of the word

00:41:41.920 Islam

00:41:42.360 The word Islam on Muslims

00:41:44.520 Not once does it say anything about that

00:41:46.760 It doesn't talk about migration from Muslim countries

00:41:49.540 Nothing

00:41:49.880 Again, seriously, honestly

00:41:52.580 Not one reference to it

00:41:55.840 It's just general purpose anti-Semitism in Britain 0.95

00:42:01.360 It's taken a massive leap forward

00:42:04.580 A massive jump up, statistically

00:42:06.280 And not just in Britain

00:42:08.900 Look, there's the Bondi Beach thing

00:42:10.320 And also in Australia

00:42:11.280 and a couple of other places, like in Argentina or whatever. 1.00

00:42:19.320 Again, do they think we're stupid? 0.99

00:42:24.180 Judith Moritz and Daniel Wittenberg. 0.99

00:42:29.720 You're going to write a whole article, a whole piece,

00:42:32.420 about the rising anti-Semitic hate crime in Britain

00:42:34.920 and there's no mention of Islam.

00:42:38.180 you might name individual tax but you don't mention the name of the person that did it or 1.00

00:42:43.880 what their motivation was really really okay okay again you're treating us like morons don't you 0.98

00:42:58.320 think we don't understand cause and effect or something sorry daniel wittenberg and judith 0.92

00:43:04.560 Moritz, do you think we don't understand cause and effect? Do you think we don't know anything

00:43:08.400 about the tenets of Islam? Do you think we know nothing of the historical conflict in the Holy

00:43:16.700 Land? I think we don't know about the migration from Islamic countries to this country. I think

00:43:23.960 we don't know any of the details about any of the perpetrators of anti-Semitic crime.

00:43:28.600 You're going to talk to us

00:43:33.160 About the rise in anti-Semitic crime

00:43:35.780 And not mention Israel 0.88

00:43:36.920 You cheeky 1.00

00:43:38.360 It's mad, you're mad 0.99

00:43:40.340 You're mad 0.74

00:43:42.160 Unbelievable 0.98

00:43:46.000 Alright, moving on

00:43:49.140 Something slightly less serious

00:43:52.320 It was in one of the papers actually

00:43:54.540 They talk about

00:43:57.040 Clicky Ponting

00:44:01.280 For anyone who doesn't know

00:44:06.500 One of the greatest cricketers of all time

00:44:08.260 An Aussie batsman

00:44:10.020 Was called

00:44:11.660 Ricky Ponting

00:44:13.580 Ricky Ponting

00:44:14.920 Right

00:44:17.040 Was it

00:44:19.020 Oh it was on one of the papers but I can't find it now

00:44:22.120 Sorry

00:44:22.360 Oh there we go sorry

00:44:23.240 Look

00:44:23.500 Unmask

00:44:24.260 Fielder dubbed

00:44:25.300 Clicky Ponting

00:44:26.360 clever wordplay isn't it clicky sounds like ricky ricky ponting clicky ponting at center of village

00:44:34.040 cricket cheat for rory the mail it's the it's front and center it's top of their website this

00:44:40.060 morning they think that's the most important thing all it is is that you know if a batsman just gets

00:44:45.960 a little nick on the bat a little nick just a tiny little snick off the off the outside edge of

00:44:50.720 the cricket bat and then the slip or the wiki catches it then he's out right and quite often

00:44:56.400 it's such a subtle thing that you can only really if you haven't got tv replays the ump just hears

00:45:02.840 it he hears a little like a click a little snick sound because the ball barely moves trajectory

00:45:08.920 but you hear it right and this guy this big fat cheetah he clicks his fingers at the exact moment

00:45:16.760 to make it sound like

00:45:19.320 they got an outside edge

00:45:21.020 just cheating, basically

00:45:22.140 pretty straightforward cheating

00:45:23.960 I can't believe that's not a thing in cricket already

00:45:25.540 I can't believe that's not already a well-known thing

00:45:28.180 from years and years ago

00:45:28.980 but anyway, clicky ponting

00:45:31.000 there you go, that's the most important story

00:45:35.040 according to the male group

00:45:36.100 yep, that's the most important thing

00:45:38.820 going on in Britain right now

00:45:40.040 that is

00:45:40.520 okay

00:45:42.260 okay, alright

00:45:56.560 That

00:45:56.960 Andy Byrne wants some sort of

00:45:59.480 Crossbench consensus

00:46:00.960 But he's only talking to the Lib Dems

00:46:03.260 And the Tories

00:46:03.800 He's not

00:46:04.360 He's not really invited Nigel to the table

00:46:07.380 Nigel says that's

00:46:09.260 That's a uni party thing

00:46:11.080 He's not wrong is he

00:46:12.000 Reasonable thing to think and say

00:46:14.260 reasonable conclusion to come to

00:46:15.920 was there

00:49:14.400 what happened of note

00:49:15.560 July the 29th

00:49:16.980 the defeat of the Spanish Armada

00:49:19.560 on my history themed show

00:49:25.240 Bodade's Epochs

00:49:27.840 which is behind the paywall

00:49:29.100 on lotusseaters.com

00:49:30.040 Do consider signing up for as little as £5 a month

00:49:31.780 Bronze Team membership

00:49:32.400 Where I've got hundreds of hours

00:49:34.520 Quite literally, no exaggeration

00:49:36.500 Hundreds of hours of long-form history-themed content

00:49:39.800 A body of work built up over five years

00:49:41.560 Talk all about the Spanish Armada

00:49:43.920 Of course you do

00:49:44.700 Talk all about

00:49:45.820 Well, I've got long-form content

00:49:48.360 On Walter Riley and Drake

00:49:50.060 Sir Francis Drake

00:49:50.760 It won't be long before I get up to Elizabeth I

00:49:56.900 And I'll talk about it again

00:49:58.020 I'm currently on my series all about the English monarchy

00:50:00.960 I'm up to Edward VI, Henry VIII's son

00:50:04.020 Good Queen Bessie's older brother 0.91

00:50:06.480 Sorry, younger brother

00:50:07.220 So it'll only be a few weeks after I get through with my series

00:50:12.060 All about Diocletian and Constantine the Great 0.88

00:50:14.080 I'll go back to the monarchy 0.59

00:50:15.540 And I'll talk about the Spanish Armada again

00:50:17.000 No doubt, no doubt

00:50:18.880 On this day in 1588

00:50:20.460 The so-called Invincible Spanish Armada

00:50:23.480 Is sighted approaching England

00:50:26.580 and several skirmishes follow, forcing the invading fleet to make a long and costly retreat

00:50:30.740 around Scotland and Ireland. Yeah, they wanted to, the idea, was it the Duke of,

00:50:35.980 the Duke of Madonna? Anyway, they wanted to sail up the Thames. That was the idea,

00:50:43.260 the Spanish strategy. In the Spanish Armada, it wasn't just a naval fleet, it was just a naval

00:50:48.900 force. They actually had tens of thousands of Spanish soldiers, foot soldiers. They were going

00:50:53.320 to sail, cheeky isn't it, they were going to sail up the Thames into the middle of London 0.77

00:50:58.720 and disembark thousands, low tens of thousands of Spanish troops and take London. 0.73

00:51:06.900 That's a bit naughty that is, a little bit naughty. So we had to stop them from getting 1.00

00:51:13.860 into the mouth of the Thames really and we did and we did famously fire ships. They had

00:51:19.680 bigger galleons but our ships were more nimble and piloted by better sailors essentially

00:51:26.400 um the fire ship thing i can't go through here there's so much to say but

00:51:30.500 they never got into the thames they had to can't really just turn around and go back

00:51:35.760 down the channel go back down the bay of biscay and back to spain let's go all the way around

00:51:41.140 britain and ireland apart from anything else they didn't have enough water food and water

00:51:46.200 on board for that by the time they come round Ireland they're in a terrible terrible state

00:51:54.300 anyway just one more example of when England managed to stave off an enemy that seemed

00:52:05.940 vastly superior to it all right on this day in 1609 Samuel de Champlain

00:52:11.280 It shoots and kills two Iroquois chiefs at Ticonderoga, New York

00:52:15.300 Setting the stage for French-Iroquois conflicts for the next 150 years

00:52:19.980 Remember I said, I might have some Iroquois, like 1% Iroquois DNA 0.92

00:52:27.080 If it's not just, if it's not just noise in the DNA 0.99

00:52:36.620 They're the ones that are much more Canadian rather than New York

00:52:40.020 Although, it's not a million miles away, is it?

00:52:44.880 Okay, yeah, right

00:52:45.700 On this day in 1848, Irish potato famine

00:52:48.980 The Tipperary Revolt, an unsuccessful nationalist revolt against British rule

00:52:53.120 Is put down by police

00:52:54.380 What can I say about the potato famine without descending into cliché

00:53:01.500 And just offending Irish people without even meaning to?

00:53:07.260 Potato blight 0.99

00:53:08.180 Should you really have 0.99

00:53:12.460 Had a more diverse

00:53:14.880 Agriculture

00:53:17.060 And horticulture

00:53:18.820 Just relying on

00:53:21.040 Actually when you look at the potato famine

00:53:23.640 It was terrible

00:53:25.120 It was terrible

00:53:25.940 And it is trite and unfair to say

00:53:29.000 Why didn't you grow other things other than potatoes

00:53:30.920 That's really not fair to say that

00:53:33.900 Anyway it's a big thing

00:53:36.460 You know that caused a giant

00:53:38.000 amount a giant amount of migration from ireland out of ireland massive brain drain population drain

00:53:44.960 really to largely the united states all right okay on this day in 1905 us secretary of war

00:53:54.400 william taft goes on to be had he already been president i think he'd already been

00:54:00.160 the president hadn't he taft by that point

00:54:01.840 Has he already been president?

00:54:06.080 Or he goes on to be president just after that

00:54:07.880 Anyway, Taft is president

00:54:09.240 But at this point, there's a secretary of war

00:54:10.860 Makes a secret agreement with Japanese Prime Minister Katsura

00:54:14.680 Agreeing to give Japan free reign in Korea

00:54:17.200 In return for non-interference with the US in the Philippines 0.62

00:54:21.500 Quid pro quo, you know

00:54:23.080 Let's do a deal here guys, let's do a deal

00:54:25.720 What's that, you think you've got a natural right 1.00

00:54:29.220 To own the Korean peninsula 0.53

00:54:31.200 Okay, just let us do whatever we want in the Philippines

00:54:35.660 You know, the Spanish Empire has basically collapsed

00:54:39.440 The biggest power in the region, even though it's on the other side of the Pacific

00:54:45.280 Is the United States

00:54:46.900 Just let us, just let us, the United States, do what we want in the Philippines 0.95

00:54:51.140 And we'll turn a blind eye to anything you might do in Korea 0.95

00:54:55.540 Well, 35 years later, odd

00:55:04.280 That all comes to a head, doesn't it?

00:55:07.520 On this day in 1921, Adolf Hitler becomes leader of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, the NSDAP

00:55:13.120 In 1921, it's not long after the war, is it?

00:55:17.220 World War I, I mean, of course

00:55:18.180 Tiny little party at that point 0.66

00:55:20.860 I listened to the audio book of a Hitler biography a few months ago, a legit one, what was it, Toland, is it John Toland, it's like a legit one, one you could, like Penguin, you could buy in Waterstones or whatever. 0.88

00:55:36.800 It is quite an interesting part of Hitler's life

00:55:41.320 I think 0.99

00:55:41.800 His very young adulthood before the war

00:55:45.480 His war service

00:55:46.700 And then the immediate years

00:55:49.020 After the war

00:55:50.140 And before 1933 0.52

00:55:52.420 When the Nazis actually get into power 0.99

00:55:54.000 That's a very very interesting period

00:55:56.600 I mean the NSDAP was tiny 0.92

00:55:58.860 When Hitler joined 0.96

00:56:00.140 Even when he became the leader of it 0.99

00:56:01.820 Very very

00:56:03.040 A couple of dozen was it

00:56:05.240 members tiny tiny tiny little thing he was originally sent there by the army to be some

00:56:12.520 sort of spire basically well not exactly an agent provocateur but just we the army the establishment

00:56:20.440 need to know what's going on here germany in complete political turmoil after the war world

00:56:28.440 one really a real struggle between communists and nationalists the friar corps and the reds

00:56:36.760 etc etc etc the army's got this guy corporal hitler why don't you join that party pretend

00:56:44.560 to be interested in that party and join it and just let us know what they're doing what they're

00:56:48.800 talking about what their ideas are hitler joins in and is like oh i actually genuinely

00:56:53.920 like them, and they're so tiny, I could just, through force of personality and will, I could

00:57:01.720 take over and lead it, and if I tweaked a few things here and there, and made it exactly what

00:57:04.980 I want, bada boom, bada bing, I'm the leader of a party, albeit a tiny one, anyway, interesting,

00:57:11.940 I do think the years 1918 to sort of 1925, 26 of Hitler's life are the most interesting bit, 0.90

00:57:19.520 I think 0.99

00:57:20.220 That's just me

00:57:21.920 Alright then

00:57:22.720 We've got

00:57:24.540 It's now nearly nine

00:57:25.300 Alright let's do our

00:57:26.400 Rumble Rants and Super Chats

00:57:27.660 Let's do

00:57:30.620 We do the Rumble Rants first

00:57:31.720 Don't we

00:57:32.100 Is Global Church History

00:57:33.140 Going to be in at number one

00:57:34.000 Do do do do do

00:57:35.740 Do do do do

00:57:36.600 Yes he is

00:57:38.000 Yes yes it's a good day

00:57:38.980 And knew

00:57:41.100 Because yesterday he was beat

00:57:42.180 Wasn't he yesterday

00:57:44.060 Wasn't it

00:57:44.660 I usually say

00:57:45.700 And still

00:57:46.500 The reigning defending

00:57:48.180 But no

00:57:48.760 And new, he regains his belt as champ of the Rumble Ranks.

00:57:58.460 Global Church History, in at number one, says,

00:58:01.080 Today, in 1030 AD, King St. Olaf of Norway was martyred, making today his feast day.

00:58:09.720 Oh, yes, okay, so St. Olaf, Olaf II of Norway,

00:58:14.800 He got killed in a battle

00:58:18.140 He wasn't executed

00:58:20.000 Often martyrs are executed

00:58:22.440 But he was killed in a battle

00:58:23.760 He's in between, sandwiched in between

00:58:26.380 If I recall now 1.00

00:58:28.460 Canute

00:58:29.820 And Sven Falkbeard

00:58:32.840 I think I've got content all about the Viking invasions

00:58:38.540 Actually more on

00:58:39.560 History, go to that camera, Alistair

00:58:42.060 on my other history theme channel

00:58:47.580 which there's no payable there, it's all free

00:58:49.160 I've got some content all about

00:58:51.500 the Viking period

00:58:53.760 the late Anglo-Saxon world

00:58:55.500 on that talk all about

00:58:57.960 Sven Falkbeard

00:58:59.060 really important one 0.99

00:59:01.060 the St Price's Day Massacre

00:59:03.480 all sorts of fascinating things

00:59:05.300 and in between him

00:59:07.680 and Canute

00:59:09.260 the Canute

00:59:10.520 Is that Olaf, right?

00:59:12.920 That's right, isn't it? I'm pretty sure

00:59:13.900 And I suppose he's important

00:59:16.780 Largely

00:59:17.720 He's like a foundational king for Norwegians

00:59:20.380 One of their all-time greats

00:59:23.720 And he was canonised by the Catholic Church

00:59:27.940 Later in the 12th century

00:59:30.240 So anyway, if you're a Norwegian

00:59:33.940 He would be one of your most famous kings among them

00:59:36.500 Okay, interesting

00:59:38.720 He was killed on this day in 10.30

00:59:41.020 And the other factoid Global Church History has got for us is

00:59:43.920 In 1883, Benito Mussolini was born

00:59:47.640 Oh, okay

00:59:48.280 I find Benito Mussolini quite interesting

00:59:51.940 Almost comical

00:59:53.280 When you look at the details of his life

00:59:56.040 A little bit comical, is that fair?

00:59:58.580 That's a bit unfair, but

00:59:59.400 An interesting life, nonetheless

01:00:02.580 On Epochs earlier this year

01:00:07.620 I did a bit of content all about I went through a little phase of doing

01:00:11.840 long-form content about famous special forces raids and one of them was when towards the end

01:00:20.120 of the war Mussolini got captured his government had collapsed he got captured by Italian partisans

01:00:26.140 anti-fascist Italian partisans and Hitler sent German special forces in Italy to rescue him

01:00:33.520 a daring mountaintop raid they flew in glided in landed almost on the side of a mountain

01:00:40.960 jumped out stormed the hotel where Benito Mussolini was being held prisoner and rescued him and freed

01:00:47.000 him on here like an hour an hour and a half is it even two hours I can't remember of me talking

01:00:55.220 all about that in extreme detail Otto Scott Zaney one of Germany's greatest special forces operators

01:01:01.260 it's all there if you're interested okay the next three and even a couple others beyond that are

01:01:09.900 from pigdog5150 you say morning bow tim paul not that he is a philosophical genius or or is this

01:01:19.180 an appeal to authority made an interesting suggestion apply people's own standards to them

01:01:25.500 And then you've put one of at least two

01:01:28.660 Okay, so the next one you say

01:01:29.860 E.g. if people are anti-free speech

01:01:32.840 They don't get free speech

01:01:34.340 If they're pro-cancel culture

01:01:36.680 Then they get cancelled

01:01:37.720 If they're anti-firearms

01:01:39.660 They don't get armed response defence

01:01:41.840 I mean

01:01:43.560 On the face of it 0.94

01:01:47.480 Not crazy, silly idea

01:01:49.560 A little bit

01:01:50.220 A little bit maybe

01:01:53.360 Petulant

01:01:54.600 But I don't know, I'd have to think about that

01:01:59.100 I've got some questions, concerns immediately rising in my mind

01:02:05.040 But on some level, yeah, on some level, that's good, cool, why not?

01:02:12.100 Yeah, if you hate free speech

01:02:13.580 Then you don't get to talk about whatever you want to talk about

01:02:17.000 That would be interesting

01:02:17.820 And then you say, last one

01:02:20.920 You're saying that, last one

01:02:23.020 obviously hard to apply to emergency situations yeah well that's what I was thinking yeah

01:02:27.400 if you've like once did a tweet saying I think all guns should be banned and then you through

01:02:34.040 no fault of yourself find yourself in the middle of a mass casualty shooting event and the police

01:02:39.780 are like oh no we're not going to protect you it doesn't seem right does it doesn't seem fair but

01:02:43.660 anyway right obviously hard to apply to emergency situations but in general I think it's a valid

01:02:49.640 tactic for good people people to employ against enemies the leftists are enemies make them submit

01:02:56.620 no pity well i agree with the sentiment there in both britain i would i would be pitiless 0.63

01:03:03.640 i would be pitiless against the leftists and globalists and subversives and traitors that 0.97

01:03:09.900 have tried to ruin our country and our demographic try to annihilate us as a people 0.98

01:03:17.160 as a civilization, they're trying to destroy it, yeah, I'd have no pity, no pity, be merciless, 0.98

01:03:26.460 Ming the Merciless, okay, Intelligentsia, see ya, at the end, like, see ya, Intelligentsia says,

01:05:00.640 A terrible pick

01:05:03.220 Okay

01:05:03.600 The next one you say

01:05:05.400 When hiring ex-enemies

01:05:07.140 And having an open big tent

01:05:09.180 Gotta gatekeep hard

01:05:11.540 Keep those enemy infiltrators out

01:05:13.780 Lowe does this fairly well

01:05:15.560 He needs to learn from Trump's failures

01:05:17.520 Keep the team true

01:05:19.220 Yeah 1.00

01:05:19.680 If you are going to let people from the other side 1.00

01:05:21.680 Into your camp 1.00

01:05:22.860 You have to pick very very carefully

01:05:24.500 Wouldn't you

01:05:24.920 Yeah

01:05:25.340 Yeah

01:05:26.880 Quite right

01:05:56.500 That he would like to see justice for all the people

01:06:00.660 It wasn't that long ago, I think I retweeted it

01:06:02.960 See justice for all the people that have facilitated the rape of Britain 0.95

01:06:07.400 Yeah 0.98

01:06:08.960 It's only right

01:06:10.720 It's only right that these people, the individuals responsible for it

01:06:14.900 Are held to account

01:06:15.960 It's only right

01:06:17.860 Okay, Acid Helm says

01:06:21.420 It's been two years today since Southpaw

01:06:23.900 Has it been that long? It doesn't feel like that long

01:06:25.660 Two years

01:06:26.880 Today

01:06:28.140 R.I.P. girls

01:06:31.500 My prayers tonight will include you

01:06:34.240 You then say something about Eamon Holmes

01:06:39.180 It's in too bad taste

01:06:41.500 I'm not gonna

01:06:41.900 Yeah, okay

01:06:47.720 The Southport thing was two years ago

01:06:50.260 Fallen Firebird says

01:06:51.780 Hello Bo

01:06:52.260 Alright

01:06:52.580 it astounds me how actual humans think holly willoughby had a touch to lose in the first 1.00

01:07:00.240 place she's just a nice face and a decent and a decent pair attached to a vestigial brain 1.00

01:07:07.060 not a polymath 1.00

01:07:08.420 harsh but fair i think they're from fallen firebird

01:07:15.100 this is reasonably charismatic and stuff on tv isn't she but

01:07:19.960 Won't there be thousands of individual people

01:07:23.700 That have got that same sort of ability

01:07:26.760 Okay, another three from Pigdog

01:07:30.280 Who says 0.99

01:07:31.280 Of the subversive degenerate traitors 0.97

01:07:34.680 That should lose their free speech and be jailed 0.97

01:07:36.900 James O'Brien is one of them

01:07:38.440 Not my words, James

01:07:39.740 That's simply one of my super chats I've read

01:07:43.500 Okay, Polanski, you've put it in inverted commas

01:07:50.540 Polanski, definitely no free speech

01:07:52.980 And definitely jail

01:07:53.880 You know, people like James O'Brien

01:07:57.280 And David Paulden 0.87

01:08:00.200 What to do with subversives like that 1.00

01:08:04.580 Extreme traitors and subversives

01:08:07.680 How's best to deal with them, exactly?

01:08:11.160 An open question

01:08:13.820 And then the last one from Pig Dog

01:08:17.580 Is just a bunch of laughing

01:08:18.980 And crying laughing faces

01:08:20.400 I'm not sure exactly what that's in response to

01:08:24.920 But I'll take it, thank you

01:08:26.140 And the very last Rumble Rant today

01:08:28.320 Is from

01:08:29.060 JC Warlock

01:08:30.400 Says

01:08:30.900 Loch Ness Castle Monster

01:08:32.900 For anyone who doesn't know

01:08:35.240 Who doesn't watch the show from the morning

01:08:36.220 JC Warlock is

01:08:37.560 He loves the

01:08:39.000 He loves the Loch Ness Monster stuff

01:08:40.720 and the castle at the law all right

01:08:45.060 and then they'll do the YouTube ones and so you have to bring up that for me

01:08:49.400 on the case that it will it thank you all right the YouTube ones is a dozen or

01:08:54.200 some of those maybe 20 years

01:08:55.800 means 20 of those so I'll whip through them if you don't mind here we go

01:08:59.860 StuKHP says

01:09:03.500 oh you've done an acronym for on this day in history

01:09:09.200 So you put, on this day in history, 1958, serial killer Eamon Holmes was born.

01:09:17.660 We've got a long-running joke about Eamon Holmes.

01:09:19.620 I once accidentally mystic Eamon Holmes for Hugh Edwards.

01:09:22.660 I meant to say Hugh Edwards, but I said Eamon Holmes accusing him of sex crime incorrectly,

01:09:26.880 and then apologised many times, and now it's an in-joke on this show

01:09:30.800 that Eamon Holmes is responsible for loads and loads of crimes that he obviously didn't do.

01:09:36.300 Is it his actual birthday, or are you just saying that?

01:09:39.200 Is it Eamon Holmes'

01:09:42.860 actual birthday today?

01:09:44.080 Get well soon

01:09:44.880 Get well soon

01:09:48.300 Eamon

01:09:48.960 He had a stroke didn't he

01:09:51.000 back in I think April

01:09:51.940 In all honesty and sincerity

01:09:55.040 get well soon Eamon

01:09:56.120 Actually Alistair

01:09:58.260 would you mind googling

01:09:59.840 real quick

01:10:01.100 Eamon Holmes' birthday

01:10:03.000 I wonder if StuKHP

01:10:06.040 is just simply making that up

01:10:07.480 for the joke

01:10:07.960 or whether it actually is

01:10:08.940 Alright, next one

01:10:10.560 Emily Forrestore says

01:10:11.580 NHS also employs cruel, incompatible people

01:10:15.620 Yes, yes

01:10:16.520 So that's the thing

01:10:18.560 That's the thing about making sure that all care home

01:10:23.320 All people's homes are like

01:10:24.700 It's a nationalised thing

01:10:25.900 Will that actually

01:12:42.420 but I don't want pollution

01:12:43.740 I don't just want

01:12:45.680 it's definitely man-made filth

01:13:10.320 well you're part of the glorious band the chosen few and you just gave lotus eaters 4.99

01:13:15.420 Can't be that much for failure

01:13:17.800 You've got good taste

01:13:20.880 You can build on that

01:13:24.900 Okay, Ezek89 says

01:13:30.180 Where did this hysteria about CO2 come from?

01:13:33.180 Don't they teach in schools that it's plant food?

01:13:35.760 Where did it come from? That's an interesting question

01:13:37.280 Yeah, where did that come from?

01:13:39.640 Wasn't Leonard Nimoy and loads of scientists

01:13:41.720 Even in the 70s talking about a new ice age

01:13:43.860 Need to worry about an ice age?

01:13:45.420 Yeah, where did it come from?

01:13:46.940 The UN.

01:13:48.500 Listen to Randall Carlson, the geologist on this, the hockey stick.

01:13:55.060 Yeah, very specific types of,

01:13:57.200 very specifically funded, ideologically funded research from the UN in the 1990s.

01:14:03.960 That's where it came from.

01:14:06.080 Well, yeah, it's all documented.

01:14:07.720 It's all documented, it's all there.

01:14:09.940 Carmichael Cookie Dough Footjob.

01:14:12.220 That's their name.

01:14:13.220 at Carmichael underscore cookie dough underscore footjob says they say they say it is I Thaddeus

01:14:23.260 Bungo McTitpop and I bring you greetings so there you go Thaddeus Bungo McTitpop has changed their

01:14:31.180 name to Carmichael cookie dough footjob they say I am scared about Restore's numbers do you think

01:14:38.360 they still have a solid chance yeah a lot could happen in the next two and a half years they've

01:14:44.820 broken through that sort of that barrier of one two three percent that's the hardest thing

01:14:51.100 that's the hardest thing to do in all sorts of ways the hardest thing to do is break through

01:14:56.120 a certain barrier if you start a small business you start a youtube channel the hardest bit is

01:15:01.160 going from zero to picking up the thread of something and getting a ball rolling that's

01:15:07.960 the hardest bit, by far. Restore have already broken through that. They poll at what, about

01:15:14.680 7%, don't they? And in two, two and a half years, that's a lifetime. Yeah, I mean, they're

01:15:23.880 as big, if not bigger, than the Greens, than any of the other smaller parties, any of them,

01:15:29.360 nipping at the heels of the Lib Dems in all sorts of ways. A lot could happen in the next

01:15:35.180 two and a half years reform could get scandaled into oblivion nigel gets scandaled into oblivion 0.97

01:15:44.720 and reform in all sorts of ways collapses and implodes where are all those people going to go 0.64
