00:01:22.920 What would Little Harry do

00:01:24.680 Alright

00:01:25.480 Shall we just stop

00:01:26.100 Flapping about though

00:01:26.840 Just get straight into it

00:01:28.960 The show's supposed to be about what's in the

00:01:31.240 Legacy corporate langestream media on any given day

00:01:33.340 The news cycle, Fleet Street

00:01:35.060 What the paper's talking about

00:01:36.780 What are the normies going to imbibe

00:01:38.580 We need to know what the average person

00:01:41.440 Unfortunately

00:01:41.960 Because most people, millions and millions of people

00:01:44.740 Still get their news

00:01:46.080 Their view of reality

00:01:47.700 From whatever slot the legacy corporate langestream media

00:01:51.040 Feeds them

00:01:51.780 So it's best to know about it isn't it

00:01:54.180 If you want to be informed

00:01:57.240 all right what have we got we've got burnham's triple shock i told you didn't i yesterday it

00:02:04.120 was labor party conference at the moment and yesterday no sternum burnham andy bumham king

00:02:09.480 of the north first of his name with his guy liner and mascara he had a big speech the main keynote

00:02:14.360 speech prime minister's speech at conference so unless there was some giant event it was likely

00:02:20.040 to dominate the news and it has it totally has okay so it's a burnham day no sternum burnham

00:02:26.960 conference speech day burnham's triple shock and city face expulsion city what city manchester

00:02:36.840 city football club what for for cheating we'll get into it a little bit i know you guys don't

00:02:40.500 really care about football sports ball but it's a relatively big story so i'm going to talk about

00:02:46.140 a little bit um yeah just to say just to show it is sort of all over the news cycle today look

00:02:51.680 burnham burnham and his speech burnham and his speech burnham and his speech

00:02:58.220 oops i just closed that tab sorry harry can in a minute can you reopen that one it's the daily

00:03:04.040 mail oh not burnham and his speech oh there we go look the daily mail burnham and his speech

00:03:09.500 The Sun

00:03:11.460 Oh, Burnham and his speech

00:03:12.480 Alright

00:03:13.180 It's almost as though they're one cabal, isn't it?

00:03:17.420 It's almost as though, what, Reuters and AP

00:03:19.840 Just set the agenda of what's supposed to be in the news

00:03:23.420 And the rest of them just copy it

00:03:25.900 It's easier just to copy, isn't it?

00:03:31.480 Historians do that

00:03:32.340 You'll get one good historian who does original research

00:03:36.960 Goes into the archives

00:03:38.440 reads everything forms an opinion writes a book and there'll be dozens maybe hundreds

00:03:43.360 maybe generations of historians after that just copy what he did

00:03:47.380 oh right burnham's triple shock and city face expulsion right the daily mail pure globalist

00:03:55.540 slop pretending it's patriotic or nativist sometimes it's not at all how to protect your

00:04:02.380 finances from the end of the triple lock okay burnham's triple shock in most left-wing speech

00:04:09.140 by a prime minister since 1970s he acts his state pensions triple lock just to say as i understand

00:04:15.360 it he's not like he's not scrapping state pensions he's not even scrapping every element of the

00:04:22.220 triple lock he's just making it a double lock i.e if you remember oh can i even be able to explain

00:04:27.800 very very quickly there's three criteria weren't there how they calculate how much people get in

00:04:32.560 their pensions it was to do with links to wage increase inflation or 2.5 percent this is taking

00:04:39.620 away one of those legs of that still i think the one that's linked to wage increases so in other

00:04:46.240 words it could be the case that you might get slightly less than you would otherwise do and

00:04:51.220 that's only going to kick in from 2030 and he almost certainly won't be in government anywhere

00:04:55.260 near then so well it might be so it's not like he's scrapping pensions it's just like everything

00:05:04.600 else twiddling around the edges of it moving the deck chair a quarter of an inch instead of a

00:05:10.320 sixteenth of an inch okay it'll help fund a national care service but there could be millions

00:05:17.900 more to find sorry billions more there could be billions more to find well there would be billions

00:05:21.720 more to find if you want a national care service that's like the national health service free at

00:05:26.180 point of use for everyone for care in old age that is going to be another absolutely bottomless pit

00:05:33.900 like the nhs isn't it some are saying that this new way of calculating the pension the double

00:05:42.740 lock going back to a double lock instead of a triple lock could rake in something on the order

00:05:47.560 of 12 or 15 billion pounds or something well it's going to be a drop in the ocean isn't it

00:05:51.320 to some sort of national care service.

00:05:53.320 You could deport the millions of people that are here,

00:05:56.320 that are a drain on the finances in our society,

00:05:59.320 but no, they won't do that.

00:06:01.320 No, that would be racist, that would be bigoted or something.

00:06:04.320 That wouldn't be British.

00:06:08.320 It's a British value now, apparently,

00:06:10.320 according to the lefties and communists and associates,

00:06:12.320 it's a British value to allow your country

00:06:14.320 just to become a giant refugee camp

00:06:16.320 for people that aren't even refugees.

00:06:19.320 It's a British value to allow your one and only ancestral homeland to be invaded without a shot fired

00:06:25.360 Is it you sure about that? Okay, he vows burden vows

00:06:30.660 Closer ties with EU and voting reform that could lock right out of power. Hmm

00:06:37.180 Hmm

00:06:39.260 Yeah

00:06:40.560 He's really far left further left than Starmer

00:06:45.080 He's crazy

00:06:48.400 He's a crazy person

00:06:49.960 Imagine that

00:06:53.440 Imagine seeing

00:06:54.500 What the Tories have done

00:06:56.480 Particularly in the last few years

00:06:58.100 Of their reign

00:07:00.040 Of them governing the country

00:07:03.200 Seeing how they did the open borders thing

00:07:06.220 And lurched to the left

00:07:07.920 As much as a conservative

00:07:09.040 Nominally a conservative could

00:07:11.240 Seeing how they were punished

00:07:13.340 At the ballot box

00:07:14.360 Then having Starmer in

00:07:16.480 Seeing how massively unpopular he was

00:07:18.860 And his policies were

00:07:19.860 And think to yourself, I know

00:07:21.900 Best thing to turn this ship around

00:07:24.620 Is to go even further to the left

00:07:26.840 These are psychos

00:07:27.880 These are psychos

00:07:29.540 Fabian

00:07:32.300 Pinkos

00:07:34.060 Crazes

00:07:35.260 Alright, the Daily Telegraph

00:07:37.820 German-owned Zionist slop

00:07:39.920 They'll argue on behalf of

00:07:42.720 a demographic security for Jews in Israel, but not for Britain. If you argue the exact

00:07:49.380 same thing for Britain, you're a Nazi and a bigot and a racist and beyond the pale.

00:07:54.380 That's what the Telegraph is. That's who they are. You can't have a country. That's

00:08:02.060 the Telegraph. You must be doomed to become a hated and marginalised minority in your

00:08:10.880 one and only ancestral homeland. That's the Telegraph. You must accept it.

00:08:21.880 Okay. Triple lock scrapped by 2030. Burnham's plan to double lock will remove state pensions

00:08:29.400 linked to earnings. There you go. There it is. Fifteen billion pound savings may not

00:08:34.800 even be enough to fund Prime Minister's National Care Service. Well it won't be anywhere near.

00:08:39.380 He'll be a drop in the ocean of what's required.

00:08:43.140 Tories and reform now vow to protect pensions as battle lines drawn for election.

00:08:49.680 Look, there's Andy Burnham looking strong, as if he's got a sternum.

00:08:53.200 He hasn't.

00:08:54.240 He was crying, wasn't he?

00:08:56.340 He was actually crying on stage.

00:09:00.320 The Church of Labour is searching for a soul, but is Pastor Andy the Saviour, writes Tim Stanley.

00:09:06.040 Shut up, Tim Stanley, you silly little boy.

00:09:08.500 LARPing as a journalist

00:09:10.240 Whoever told you

00:09:11.080 Who said you could work with men

00:09:12.500 Huh

00:09:13.620 Tim Stanley

00:09:15.460 Get out of my face

00:09:17.660 Cretin

00:09:19.020 The times

00:09:20.080 The venerable times

00:09:21.140 Tearful Burnham

00:09:22.340 Stakes future on free care for all

00:09:24.440 Look he's having a bit of a boo

00:09:25.460 A bit of tearing up

00:09:27.540 Well we have just lost his dad

00:09:29.340 To be fair

00:09:29.980 To be fair

00:09:32.180 When I first saw that this morning

00:09:35.100 Before I'd read the details

00:09:37.260 i was prepared to do a bit saying don't cry don't cry on stage like don't do that

00:09:44.480 start talking about maybe uh just the general trend of men crying all the time or like um

00:09:52.660 um who's the guy who did uh clear up your room little harry you know who's the canadian who

00:10:01.040 said clear up your room somebody in the chat's got to say any second now

00:10:05.120 little harry you don't know no clue oh come on what's this peterson jordan peterson sorry

00:10:13.620 had a bit of a brain fart there it's still early in the morning jordan peterson like he's crying

00:10:17.760 all the time at the drop of a hat i was gonna say men should cry less unless it's for a good reason

00:10:25.500 like you've just lost your dad or your mom or your dog or you've just come around from surgery and

00:10:31.240 realize you've lost both your legs or something then you can have a cry sure so i was going to

00:10:35.500 say that but then it was linked to his dad he only lost like two weeks ago so fair enough

00:10:40.140 that's my opinion it's not like he's a blubbering mess he just said that he just teared up and he

00:10:47.360 only lost his dad because of social care as well not because of but it's part of it isn't it linked

00:10:52.100 to it um all right well there you go i remember when i was young men when i was a kid like in the

00:11:01.780 80s men didn't cry too remember when gaza paul gascoigne not gary lineker paul gascoigne cried

00:11:07.620 he got a yellow card in the world cup semi-final and because of an earlier yellow card that meant

00:11:13.940 whatever happened he would miss the world cup final should we get through which we didn't

00:11:17.940 Gazza got a yellow card and cried

00:11:20.700 on the football pitch in front of everyone

00:11:22.780 in like what, 1990

00:11:24.080 and people were like, I remember this clearly

00:11:26.260 and people were like, a man

00:11:28.480 a full grown man

00:11:30.700 crying in public

00:11:32.400 where millions of people could see it

00:11:33.780 never heard of such a thing

00:11:35.380 now it's a common place isn't it

00:11:38.100 a common place

00:11:38.700 like wearing pink, so anyone remember the Homer episode

00:11:42.440 the episode of the Simpsons where Homer

00:11:44.100 has to wear a pink shirt to work

00:11:46.120 Men just didn't wear pink

00:11:47.640 You didn't wear pink

00:11:48.420 No man would wear pink ever

00:11:52.260 You might have probably seen that episode of The Simpsons

00:11:56.040 Marge actually accidentally puts a red sock in with the wash

00:11:59.460 Homer's white shirt goes pink

00:12:01.120 And his shame face has to wear it to work

00:12:03.440 And everyone takes the mickey out of him

00:12:06.340 Now everyone wears pink

00:12:07.440 I own a number of pink shirts

00:12:09.140 Different times, different times

00:12:13.520 Okay, Tier 4 Burnham stakes future on free care for all

00:12:17.200 I mean, triple lock will end to fund plan

00:12:21.140 Alright, alright, we got it, we got it

00:12:22.420 Okay, here's an interesting story

00:12:24.140 Slightly different to bloody conference

00:12:26.200 999 call from suspected plotter

00:12:29.580 That's the Fairford potential bombing

00:12:35.380 That probably isn't a bombing incident

00:12:37.180 The Fairford, RA Fairford thing

00:12:38.980 999 call from suspected plotter led to terror arrests

00:12:42.560 intercessor it's an interesting note isn't it interesting data point there's a further article

00:12:53.340 here one of the five men arrested the rff had called 999 himself it says like maybe as much

00:13:00.040 as an hour before that female local hero female farmer phoned into the police he phoned himself

00:13:08.080 one of them phoned himself we're not told the details of what he said or anything

00:13:12.840 that's odd isn't it apparently a few couple small a few more details little details

00:13:21.960 um in the vans actually let's have a let's let's leave the picture up so people see in these vans

00:13:27.720 apparently they did find loads of petrol or quite a lot of petrol some barrels worth of petrol but

00:13:36.060 Other than that, no other sort of bomb-making equipment, no other bomb materials.

00:13:42.240 Okay.

00:13:44.000 I mean, it does beg the question, why were they arrested in the first instance

00:13:48.780 for, under legislation to do with bombs, if there was no evidence of it?

00:13:54.080 And then why were they re-arrested hours later under full-blown terrorism legislation?

00:14:01.380 you know like suspecting of being orchestrating planning organizing an act of terror if there

00:14:09.300 was no evidence of it what is going on it's odd it's a curious case if for me it's now

00:14:16.620 full blown into the territory of a curious case

00:14:21.260 trump doubled down trump i was asked yesterday

00:14:25.560 Someone said to him

00:14:28.240 A British reporter actually said

00:14:30.440 You said, Trump

00:14:33.620 Like a day ago or two days ago

00:14:35.300 That you were aware of these guys

00:14:37.420 And you were already aware of them

00:14:39.920 And Trump said

00:14:41.520 Yeah, yeah, he doubled down on it

00:14:42.820 He said, yeah

00:14:43.240 Yeah, there's been a long investigation

00:14:45.060 He said

00:14:45.580 He basically said

00:14:47.780 And I do paraphrase now

00:14:48.860 He basically said

00:14:49.580 We've known about these guys for a long time

00:14:51.020 I've been watching them for a long time

00:14:52.200 Yeah

00:14:55.560 One idea, one speculation I saw this morning, which does sort of possibly ring true, is

00:15:06.200 that they are terrorists, but this was like a dry run.

00:15:10.560 This was a practice, you know, a dress rehearsal, just to, you know, just to see if they could

00:15:17.880 get away with it, to see if, you know, how tight the security was around the joint and

00:15:23.040 all that sort of thing.

00:15:25.560 But then what explains one of them actually calling the police themselves?

00:15:31.480 Again, we're not told what he did or what he said to the police or anything.

00:15:36.420 And that woman, the hero farmer lady, is still insisting there was more than five.

00:15:41.560 She saw more than five scatter when she originally saw them.

00:15:48.000 And then also, I thought this was quite interesting,

00:15:53.240 that, you know, they've been released on bail,

00:15:54.720 so they're free

00:15:55.800 they're out

00:15:57.780 I mean they're still under investigation

00:15:59.060 I'm sure they won't be allowed to

00:16:00.460 in theory

00:16:01.580 not allowed to leave the country

00:16:02.640 and all that sort of thing

00:16:03.260 but they're effectively

00:16:04.040 free to roam around

00:16:05.900 in general pop

00:16:07.080 in the general population

00:16:08.600 but when asked about that

00:16:10.640 the police said

00:16:11.560 that like

00:16:12.720 they basically said

00:16:13.980 where's the line

00:16:15.160 I can't find it

00:16:15.680 they basically said it was

00:16:16.960 like a calculation

00:16:19.180 to do that

00:16:20.020 yeah they said

00:16:23.480 subject to stringent conditions on their movement and contact with others

00:16:28.260 the safety of the public, public is foremost in the investigation

00:16:32.280 they said, yeah look

00:16:34.140 I understand why this development was surprising to some

00:16:38.260 but I would like to reiterate that this is an investigative decision

00:16:42.200 and one which is grounded in experience and strategy

00:16:45.540 make of that what you will

00:16:49.320 that sort of suggests to me that it's a

00:16:53.000 it's a deliberate ploy

00:16:55.040 it's not that they've

00:16:56.620 they've come to the decision

00:16:58.760 oh these guys were doing nothing

00:17:00.040 other than like bird watching

00:17:02.960 possibly dogging

00:17:04.640 they are dodgy guys

00:17:09.060 they are nefarious guys

00:17:10.180 that are up to no good

00:17:11.180 one way or another

00:17:11.880 like terror wise

00:17:13.820 but we're going to let them go

00:17:16.240 and see

00:17:16.860 see what happens

00:17:18.620 let them fly away

00:17:20.840 fly fly fly

00:17:21.460 See what they do

00:17:23.720 See who they contact

00:17:26.200 Or who contacts them, etc, etc

00:17:27.760 You know

00:17:29.340 That sort of thing, maybe, I mean, who knows

00:17:31.540 Maybe the police are just completely incompetent

00:17:33.920 I wouldn't be

00:17:36.700 Surprised

00:17:38.140 Okay, a couple more details there

00:17:40.280 About the Fairford thing

00:17:41.520 Alright, it's just

00:17:44.100 Wall to Wall, especially on Fleet Street

00:17:45.340 Wall to Wall, Andy Bumham

00:17:47.160 And his 1970s style socialist

00:17:49.620 Fabian

00:17:50.500 turn to sort of ruin the country as quickly as possible

00:17:56.220 I will build a Britain my dad would be proud of

00:18:00.960 maybe your motivation should be a bit bigger

00:18:07.960 than what would make your dad proud

00:18:10.020 maybe there's bigger policy decisions

00:18:14.400 than just what you think your dad would like

00:18:18.020 i always find it odd when a

00:18:22.460 when a politician or leader rather

00:18:27.300 has got their pet projects and they put them top of the agenda

00:18:32.940 whether it was tony blair and his millennium dome whatever it is like shouldn't you put

00:18:41.000 oh i don't know shouldn't you be looking bigger shouldn't you have a broader view than that

00:18:48.020 new vision to rebuild economy and create jobs just nationalization just socialism that's all

00:18:54.300 that is triple lock shake-up energy housing and water at heart of plans oh yeah big part of it

00:18:59.040 was that he says he is going to nationalize Thames water if not all the water companies

00:19:04.760 but certainly Thames water which is the biggest one by far well I'm of the opinion despite being

00:19:12.020 as right-leaning as I am and you know you know you guys you watch the beau show regularly you

00:19:16.400 know the lotus eaters you see my twitter feed whatever i'm not even centrist really i'm not

00:19:24.380 really right of center i'm right leaning i'm a nationalist however i'm not a hundred percent

00:19:31.780 against in principle nationalizing things right even though that's a leftist thing classically

00:19:37.500 that's a leftist thing why well because if something's privatized and then sold to a

00:19:45.900 foreign entity who deliberately runs it into the ground, well, the letter of two evils

00:19:50.380 is that it's nationalised then, isn't it?

00:19:55.760 Well, we sell our train networks to an Italian company that just runs it into the ground.

00:20:00.760 I'd rather it was nationalised.

00:20:02.860 We're going to sell our steel industry to the Indians that run it into the ground and

00:20:06.820 asset strip it and run away.

00:20:08.940 The Chinese do the same thing with it all.

00:20:10.980 No, no, I'd rather it's nationalised then, even though that is a lefty thing.

00:20:15.900 All right, well, Thames Water, although it's not being run by foreign companies,

00:20:23.380 has been so mismanaged, in my opinion, so terribly,

00:20:27.780 so almost comically, it would be funny if it wasn't so serious,

00:20:31.500 most comically mismanaged,

00:20:33.400 but yeah, I'd rather people in Whitehall run it

00:20:36.880 because they can't do much of a worse job.

00:20:39.240 Well, we'll see about that. Maybe I'll eat those words.

00:20:42.640 All right, Bumham wants to nationalise Thames Water.

00:20:45.280 Alright, the Metro, ooh, the Metro, ooh

00:20:47.320 Ooh, that's

00:20:49.260 Ooh, what's that stench?

00:20:54.500 It smells like

00:20:55.560 Smells like burnt flesh

00:20:57.960 Burning flesh

00:20:58.780 The stomach-turning, revolting

00:21:02.040 Vomit-inducing stench

00:21:04.020 Of burnt bodies

00:21:05.460 That's what the Metro smells like

00:21:08.380 Ooh

00:21:09.400 Oh my God

00:21:10.960 Lucky to keep my breakfast down

00:21:13.720 Luckily I haven't had any breakfast

00:21:16.180 This second cup of tea is my breakfast

00:21:18.220 Need to lose 10 or 15 pounds to be honest

00:21:24.220 PM tears up as he sets out vision for Britain

00:21:28.660 And his rallying crier

00:21:30.660 Okay, okay

00:21:32.740 The Express, pure slop

00:21:35.260 More pernicious slop

00:21:36.940 More subversive than the Metro or the Guardian in a sense

00:21:41.400 At least the Metro and the Guardian are pretty honest with what they are

00:21:45.640 Leftist propaganda

00:21:50.140 Globalist propaganda

00:21:51.480 At least they're honest about it, more or less

00:21:52.940 The Daily Express tries to hide

00:21:56.580 Tries to pretend it's something it isn't

00:21:59.000 Wears a skin suit

00:21:59.800 Tries to pretend, tries to hide behind

00:22:01.960 The idea that it's patriotic in some way

00:22:06.520 It's not

00:22:07.760 It's not, it hates us

00:22:10.000 It would see us replaced

00:22:12.580 In our one and only ancestral homeland

00:22:14.900 It would argue against anyone

00:22:18.320 That tries to stop that

00:22:19.420 Or even slow that

00:22:20.420 That's what the Express is

00:22:22.400 But it's a good paper

00:22:25.280 You can read your Express now

00:22:26.320 Yeah

00:22:27.020 Normie boomer sitting at home

00:22:29.220 Taking the Express their whole life

00:22:30.580 And their father took the Express

00:22:31.700 Their whole life

00:22:32.460 Oh it's just the Express

00:22:34.080 It's good

00:22:34.540 It throws out red meat sometimes

00:22:36.460 It's good

00:22:36.880 It's not good

00:22:37.480 It's evil

00:22:38.280 It's evil

00:22:39.280 it's a crying shame for our nation this is that manscara going to run

00:22:46.380 this guy liner trickling down his face it's a crying shame for the nation tearful andy burnham

00:22:59.000 betrays pensioners that's how the uh express decides to characterize it he's betrayed pensioners

00:23:04.940 by axing triple lock one element of the triple lock from 2030 and betrays brexit by seeking

00:23:11.540 closer ties with the eu yeah yeah the shamelessness of it as well the fact that he was

00:23:18.960 cooed into power he conducted a bloodless coup d'etat against his own leader it was the only

00:23:26.700 mandate he's got is from the people of makerfield sorry the socialists of makerfield that's his only

00:23:31.920 mandate. He's going to come in and change the country profoundly, change the nature

00:23:36.480 of pensions, our relationship with the EU, the nature of the electoral system. Absolutely

00:23:43.360 shameless. How you could sleep at night. I'll say before and I'll say again, if I ever found

00:23:48.940 myself in that situation, of course I would go to the country immediately. You dare try

00:23:58.300 and rule a country without a firm mandate

00:24:00.440 No one voted for you sir

00:24:02.740 You are a cuckoo in the nest

00:24:04.900 A usurper

00:24:05.920 An illegal

00:24:08.960 Well it's not illegal

00:24:10.060 That's the thing isn't it

00:24:11.800 He hasn't actually broken any rules or laws

00:24:13.620 I was going to say an illegal usurper

00:24:15.740 Technically not illegal

00:24:16.960 He's a legal usurper

00:24:19.560 He conducted a legal bloodless coup d'etat

00:24:22.400 This is a changeling

00:24:28.300 It's not right.

00:24:30.060 It's not right.

00:24:31.760 How you could sleep at night, you shameless son of a bitch.

00:24:36.200 Is bitch a swear word?

00:24:37.280 I don't think it is.

00:24:37.940 Could be talking about a female dog, couldn't I?

00:24:40.200 Okay, the son.

00:24:42.180 The son, Margot Robbie there.

00:24:44.200 Looking very pretty.

00:24:45.220 Margot Robbie.

00:24:47.200 Okay, Labour's lurch to left.

00:24:50.460 PM scraps, OAP, triple lock.

00:24:51.900 We've done all this.

00:24:53.480 Locky horror show.

00:24:54.620 Like the Rocky Horror Show

00:24:59.500 Locky Horror Show

00:25:00.880 Because it's the triple lock

00:25:02.060 Get it, Locky Horror Show

00:25:03.960 Clever, clever wordplay

00:25:07.000 Needed a team of wordsmiths

00:25:14.000 Working around the clock

00:25:15.440 For that one

00:25:17.240 Alright, the eye paper

00:25:19.580 A little bit about Man City

00:25:22.540 I know you guys don't like football

00:25:24.420 particularly some of you do but it's a reasonably big story so i'll just spend a quick few minutes

00:25:28.200 on it manchester city football club the biggest football club in britain well arguably i mean

00:25:33.640 well the premier league has only i've only had i think five games and city have won all of their

00:25:39.000 games they're top of the premier league at the moment and over the last few years quite a few

00:25:43.740 years have dominated it in various ways i mean yeah man city are just one of the most biggest

00:25:52.780 Most successful clubs

00:25:53.680 And

00:25:54.940 Over the last

00:25:56.960 Nine years

00:25:57.860 It's alleged

00:25:58.720 That they've just

00:26:00.220 Totally cheated

00:26:01.020 In terms of money

00:26:02.300 Not in terms of

00:26:03.000 Actual football

00:26:03.600 On the pitch

00:26:04.180 But in terms of money

00:26:05.280 So they're owned

00:26:06.120 By Abu Dhabi

00:26:07.040 Or

00:26:07.340 Well it's a big

00:26:08.200 Group that owns

00:26:09.620 Man City

00:26:10.180 But the main

00:26:11.160 Part of that group

00:26:12.340 Is Abu Dhabi

00:26:13.740 Like one of the

00:26:16.180 The main movers

00:26:17.260 Of shakers

00:26:17.740 In Abu Dhabi

00:26:18.440 One of the Abu Dhabi

00:26:19.320 Royal family

00:26:20.020 Sheikh Mansour

00:26:21.740 Something or other

00:26:22.400 And I think he's like Vice President

00:26:24.560 And or Deputy Prime Minister of Abu Dhabi

00:26:28.500 Right

00:26:29.780 It's just loads and loads of Arab money

00:26:31.800 Endless Arab money

00:26:34.000 Right

00:26:35.020 But there are still some rules

00:26:37.740 About how much you're allowed to spend

00:26:39.120 How much you're allowed to lose

00:26:40.600 All that sort of thing

00:26:41.920 And it's alleged that over the last nine years

00:26:44.780 At least, or nine years or so

00:26:46.340 They've just completely cooked the books

00:26:48.640 Fiddled the numbers

00:26:49.500 to the tune of 900 million what is it the allegations are something like um uh what was

00:26:57.700 it so giving players and like other people managers and anyone that works for the company

00:27:03.900 giving them loads of money off the books to keep them as sweeteners but they're just not declaring

00:27:11.800 it well that's against the rules um the other one was to do with sponsorship money there's

00:27:19.480 There's a certain amount, a certain cap you're allowed.

00:27:23.040 Say you're a multi, multi, multi-billionaire.

00:27:25.520 You're like Roman Abramovich or something.

00:27:27.440 Or you're Elon Musk or something.

00:27:28.600 You own a football club.

00:27:29.980 There's only a certain amount of money you're allowed to pump into it.

00:27:33.160 But you could get around that if you were dodgy.

00:27:34.900 If you were corrupt.

00:27:35.880 If you were prepared to cheat.

00:27:38.000 And what a surprise.

00:27:39.680 Some Arab billionaires are shameless enough to cheat.

00:27:43.420 What a surprise.

00:27:45.300 They're corrupt.

00:27:45.980 Think the rules don't apply to them.

00:27:48.500 huh who would have guessed that anyway there's ways around it uh like you can say you can just

00:27:55.180 say oh it's uh it's sponsorship deals it's a company he also owns as a sponsorship it's not

00:28:00.560 normal anyway just fiddling the numbers just fiddling the books in various ways and then when

00:28:05.420 the fa the british english governing body for football investigated them they didn't apparently

00:28:11.340 man city didn't comply with it just stonewalled them in various ways so they've broken fa rules

00:28:19.300 and uefa rules so english rules and european rules all over the shop apparently allegedly

00:28:24.600 the fa said they just have not that it's not the fa are not alleging it they're saying they have

00:28:29.920 man city is saying we haven't we'll fight these allegations to the bitter end

00:28:34.920 there's some suggestion that they could relegate man city as a punishment

00:28:39.620 and relegate them to the next league down or worse who knows

00:28:44.140 the football pundits people like i don't know ian wright or roy keen they're all just saying yeah

00:28:54.460 it's just it's cheating yeah it's sort of been shown and it's cheating and it's terrible and

00:28:58.820 brings football into disrepute and how can man city how can the players in man city go about

00:29:04.100 their job normally now all that sort of thing all right that's it i know you guys don't care

00:29:07.220 about football okay there's probably loads of people in the in the chat saying don't care don't

00:29:11.880 care move on board all zzzz all right all right moving on it's the biggest story in football for

00:29:19.260 years but okay all right burnham gambles on scrapping uk state pension triple lock and

00:29:25.840 and voting system classic lefty thing isn't it classic lefty they'll change has changed

00:29:34.560 just move the goalposts so that they win more. Classic. PM vows to replace pension triple

00:29:41.880 lock by 2030 in extraordinary speech to Labour Party conference. Billion's expected to be

00:29:46.620 safe. Okay. He promises electoral reform in next manifesto. There's more rumblings. Oh

00:29:54.160 yeah, there's rumblings. That is called an election next year. Until something concrete

00:29:59.480 comes out, or until there's some sort of critical mass of rumour and rumblings, I'm

00:30:04.020 going to pay less and less attention about is there going to be election in november will it

00:30:07.180 be may next year will it be 2028 i'm going to pay less and less attention to that until there's

00:30:12.660 something concrete or as i say some sort of critical mass of rumor just endless speculation

00:30:20.660 about it i don't think he's made up his mind i really don't all right let's just move on the

00:30:27.960 Daily Star, what slop? Look, Sham City, like Man City, Sham City, clever pun, isn't it?

00:30:33.700 The MP, Prime Minister crying again, and the triple lock, all right, we've done it.

00:30:38.240 The Financial Times, Andy Burnham and his triple lock, all right.

00:30:42.500 Man City, £900 million. Okay, that's it. That's it.

00:30:48.260 They're the papers, they're the increasingly absurd and frustrating front pages out of the UK print media today.

00:30:55.480 Well done, Fleet Street.

00:30:57.960 well done definitely not lying to us by omission definitely not deliberately failing to mention

00:31:08.260 the pandemic of rape at the hands of migrants yeah definitely not deliberately failing to mention

00:31:16.060 oh harry can you get that off the screen just um definitely not failing to mention

00:31:22.940 the connection between George Osborne and Peter Mandelson

00:31:28.980 and Jeffrey Epstein and ultimately Ehud Barak

00:31:33.420 and the Israeli intelligence services

00:31:35.100 You're definitely not deliberately failing to talk about that every single day

00:31:39.840 No? Alright, sure, sure

00:31:43.100 Let's have a look at the price of crude, we do that, don't we, on this show, most days

00:31:46.960 It's down a little bit from yesterday, somehow

00:31:50.960 Brent crude, just shy of $103 a barrel

00:31:55.200 West Texas, just shy of $90 a barrel

00:31:57.620 Down a little bit from yesterday

00:31:58.760 How does that make sense?

00:32:01.520 Don't know

00:32:02.000 Maybe I'll get one of my ex-colleagues

00:32:05.520 Or invite one of my ex-colleagues on

00:32:07.260 From the company I used to work at

00:32:09.160 That did oil trading

00:32:10.880 Commodities oil trading

00:32:12.020 Get them to talk all

00:32:13.760 That's not a bad idea actually

00:32:15.100 I was just saying that in real time

00:32:16.480 Just saying it as I was thinking

00:32:17.340 That's actually not a bad idea

00:32:18.720 I wonder if they would

00:32:20.500 i'll think about that all right it'd be very interesting a true expert who trades oil

00:32:28.740 every single day knows the oil world crude oil commodities trading inside out that would be

00:32:35.940 interesting wouldn't it i think that'd be interesting i know a little bit about it

00:32:40.040 but i was never a trader let's make that perfectly i was never a trader i just dealt with brokerage

00:32:45.140 i never traded a single barrel of oil in my life but still i worked in that company and just took

00:32:50.480 it upon myself to read about all around it for years but well a couple of years all right should

00:32:56.040 you have a look at our poll we look at our poll this time of the day don't we what did we ask

00:32:59.660 you guys today what did what we got what we got harry there you go okay over a thousand votes

00:33:04.460 oh we decided little harry and i decided this morning that uh getting a bit bored of like

00:33:13.060 burnham and the conference and the triple lock so we'll just like it'll be a day where we ask

00:33:17.600 you something completely different and now for something completely different we'll just ask you

00:33:22.780 something this is a palette cleanser something else something about pop culture we do that

00:33:28.940 sometimes don't we sometimes we do funny ones that are absurd okay well today we've decided

00:33:34.300 just to go with something completely different and we ask you who is better a blur or oasis

00:33:39.000 or the verve or don't care oh and don't care is one okay

00:33:43.660 all right don't care is one easily 54 of you say don't care oh all right well that was an

00:33:56.940 experiment didn't go down all that well then did it all right i guess the younger ones the zoomers

00:34:04.860 don't even know those bands very well.

00:34:08.560 The older ones, the boomers, the bass-toomers we've got,

00:34:12.320 probably don't care much about those bands either.

00:34:17.160 Alright, well, of the actual bands, Oasis is 1 with 22%.

00:34:23.260 Blur and the Verve equal on 12% apiece.

00:34:28.240 But the vast majority of you didn't care for that poll.

00:34:32.360 Alright, noted. Fair enough.

00:34:34.860 All right

00:34:36.740 I feel a little chided

00:34:39.320 Actually

00:34:40.300 All right

00:34:43.500 All right

00:34:45.260 Let's have a look

00:34:46.080 What else have we got?

00:34:48.980 What else have we got?

00:34:50.720 There was something in

00:34:51.800 Yeah, well, just to say

00:34:54.780 This is Trump

00:34:55.620 It's just a bit more

00:34:57.600 A tiny bit more on the Fairford thing

00:34:59.140 This is where Trump said

00:35:00.480 There were seriously bad people

00:35:01.760 In fact, Harry

00:35:02.660 Can you make sure

00:35:03.280 the volume is turned up enough because when I played this earlier it seemed

00:35:06.740 really quiet I just want to play it's only 22 seconds let's just play this

00:35:13.300 what more can you tell us about the incident at Fairford in the UK the air

00:35:17.740 base it's a long-standing investigation a long-standing yeah we were involved in

00:35:21.820 it but in as you know your fellow countrymen they let him go so well they

00:35:26.900 didn't let him go they put him out on bail I assume they have they haven't

00:35:30.220 watch closely but these were serious people seriously bad people and they should not have

00:35:35.400 done that yep okay just that but i mean why are you saying that what do you mean what are you

00:35:41.180 talking about if it's truly sensitive sort of intelligent services level stuff espionage

00:35:46.520 counter espionage stuff i get it it's it will be sensitive and you can't give details but

00:35:49.940 why say anything at all then if that were the case and why are you saying they're seriously

00:35:55.120 bad people and it's a long ongoing thing

00:35:57.320 they didn't

00:35:59.220 have a bomb and they've been let out on bail

00:36:01.280 what is going on with this

00:36:03.460 seriously bad

00:36:06.500 the degree to which they're bad

00:36:09.280 is bigly

00:36:11.080 they're bigly

00:36:15.380 bad folks people

00:36:16.480 are they

00:36:19.180 okay

00:36:22.340 alright I mean if you say so

00:36:24.760 all right let's have a look at on this day in history because i've got to record things

00:36:32.860 later today record an epox later today and a couple other bits and bobs so actually quite

00:36:38.360 busy day for me so i want to try and finish if i can not too long after 9 a.m let's go on to on

00:36:45.480 this day in history because on this day in history and remember answer super chats do seem to take

00:36:49.800 longer and longer don't they i enjoy them you guys seem to enjoy me doing this segment certainly

00:36:54.840 i enjoy it on this day down through the centuries nay the millennia the 30th of september what

00:37:00.740 happened of note let's have a look all right on this day in 1520 suleman the magnificent

00:37:06.920 succeeds his father selim the first as ottoman sultan and rules until 1566 suleman the magnificent

00:37:16.440 Yeah, one of the sort of standout Ottoman sultans

00:37:20.400 Back when the Ottoman Empire was sort of strong

00:37:23.020 He considered himself like a new Justinian

00:37:28.980 Not exactly in all sorts of ways

00:37:30.380 He's not Byzantine, he's not Christian

00:37:31.820 But Justinian I was considered one of the great

00:37:36.600 Truly great Byzantine Eastern Roman emperors

00:37:39.400 Suleiman the Magnificent

00:37:41.120 Now finding himself in the same city

00:37:43.300 Constantinople, Istanbul

00:37:45.600 Dreams of being sort of a new Justinian

00:37:50.680 A new golden age for Constantinople

00:37:53.500 Jokey Istanbul

00:37:54.840 You know

00:37:56.260 He turns

00:37:58.420 He turns Justinian's great

00:38:01.700 Hagia Sophia into a mosque

00:38:04.980 Of course he does

00:38:06.020 Justinian sent Belisarius out

00:38:11.160 His great generalissimo to reconquer the West

00:38:14.500 Suleiman the Magnificent wants to reconquer

00:38:17.800 or not reconquer

00:38:18.400 he wants to conquer the West

00:38:19.440 he wants to take out the island of Rhodes

00:38:22.020 he wants the eastern Mediterranean to be his lake

00:38:24.340 and he wants to push his armies up into

00:38:26.980 central and eastern Europe

00:38:28.720 that's what he did

00:38:31.940 do you think I've got long form content

00:38:34.680 all about Justinian

00:38:36.640 and Belisarius

00:38:37.940 all those situs.com behind the paywall

00:38:42.600 is behind the paywall

00:38:44.120 you'd have to pay as much as five pound a month bronze team membership to get access to my history

00:38:48.260 thing show hundreds and hundreds of hundreds of hours without exaggeration of history themed

00:38:52.820 content with yours truly nearly always reading from the sources reading from a solid history

00:39:00.240 it's not just me just me alone just weaving a tale i'll be quoting from sources it's good quality

00:39:08.420 content i think i've got content all about justinian more than once the nikke riots there's

00:39:13.220 three-parter just on belisarius is general also on history bro my channel i talk about justinian

00:39:20.180 a couple of times i'm a fan of justinian the first there's no paywall on that either as well

00:39:28.980 it's all free there history bro check it out all right

00:39:35.700 okay and it's just just there and if it's not careful it looks like you're picking your nose

00:39:40.260 but you're not just scratching just below the nostril okay on this day in 1846 anaesthetic

00:39:53.120 ether is used for the first time by american dentist dr william morton to extract your teeth

00:39:58.140 it's interesting it's a classic thing people ask you when when they become aware you're a history

00:40:03.560 nerd or you've got a degree in history or something they say when would you like to live

00:40:07.440 if you could live anywhere in time my answer that is always i've got a sort of a romantic answer

00:40:13.460 like first century bc robe or something but the real true answer is i don't want to live any time

00:40:18.700 before there was anesthetics before there was antibiotics before there were decent modern

00:40:23.660 plumbing i don't want to live in those times be horrible you get a little toothache you're

00:40:30.100 going to go through hell you're going to have no painkillers and in the end someone's going to have

00:40:35.900 to rip it out of your skull with some pliers or whatever. I don't really want to live in

00:40:41.660 that world all that much. 1846, pretty late, perhaps it's not, perhaps it's not, perhaps

00:40:49.020 that's early, perhaps you might consider that early in the story of human civilisation.

00:40:56.140 The wonders of modern medical science is absolutely incredible. You can go to the doctors or the

00:41:01.760 hospital with any number of things and they just say yeah here's this magic pill sort it out yeah

00:41:07.340 we'll inject these drugs into your body so you don't feel a thing and then we'll augment your

00:41:11.720 body we'll do insane surgeries on you and you'll wake up and you won't even have felt it crazy

00:41:16.960 imagine a world where that just was not possible if you need an operation you go through it awake

00:41:23.780 with no painkiller whatsoever maybe a nip of whiskey maybe they'll let you have a nip of gin

00:41:30.120 or something. We're going to have to amputate your leg at the hip now. Here's a little bit

00:41:35.640 of whisky and a bit of wood to bite on. Ready? Yeah, I don't want to live in that world.

00:41:42.200 Yeah, you might die of shock. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Not to mention the pain. Okay.

00:41:49.160 On this day in 1862, Minister President of Prussia, Otto von Bismarck, delivers his famous

00:41:56.240 blood and iron speech on the unification of german territories i'll tell you from bismarck

00:42:00.640 said before fascinating figure if you want to know about european history 19th century european

00:42:05.680 history and even the run-up to world war one you've got to know about and read about watch

00:42:12.080 videos about bismarck at some point absolutely fascinating character dominated european politics

00:42:21.360 For a generation or more

00:42:23.280 Bloodline, yeah

00:42:26.560 Prussia

00:42:27.320 Prussia dominating ultimately

00:42:30.820 All the other German states

00:42:32.880 And creating Germany

00:42:35.180 Germany as we know it today

00:42:37.740 If you don't include the East and West Germany

00:42:40.660 After World War II

00:42:41.360 But Germany as we know it today

00:42:42.300 Is a 19th century creation

00:42:44.460 Of course there was a Germania

00:42:47.100 Long before that

00:42:48.100 Tacitus in the 1st century AD

00:42:50.880 talks about a germania it's an ancient concept i mean tacitus even says in his book the germania

00:42:57.940 i think i've got long form content in conversation with carl benjamin talking all about the germania

00:43:04.640 of tacitus yeah yeah even in that he says in the first century a.d everyone knows who is and who

00:43:11.880 isn't German. Everyone knows. Yet, the country that exists as we know it, as modern Germany,

00:43:20.960 dates from the 19th century. As does Italy. Interesting, isn't it? All right. On this

00:43:29.900 day, 1938, the Treaty of Munich is signed by Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Deladier

00:43:36.240 and Chamberlain forcing Czechoslovakia the Sudetenland to give up territory to Germany

00:43:42.880 Chamberlain infamously declares peace in our time upon his return to London yeah that's the one I

00:43:49.480 hold in my hand a piece of paper that guarantees us peace in our time I've talked I've spoken to

00:43:55.560 Mr Hitler says Chamberlain I've spoken to him he's a reasonable man he knows he's come close

00:44:02.020 to stepping over the line but he's decided not to step over the line and there's no need for a

00:44:06.680 general european conflagration now because mr hitler knows his limits and can be trusted to

00:44:12.420 going forward not to do anything more belligerent i hold in my hand a piece of paper piece in our

00:44:17.960 time how'd that work out for you well to be fair i've said this before and i'll say it again

00:44:27.720 I think the memory of Neville Chamberlain is maligned a fair bit

00:44:33.100 That he was somehow stupid, a cretin, a coward, all those sorts of things

00:44:39.220 And that the right thing to do was to have confronted Mr Hitler as soon as possible

00:44:43.880 To start World War II as soon as possible

00:44:47.200 Well, that's easy to say in hindsight, isn't it?

00:44:50.860 But at the time, men like Neville Chamberlain and the anti-war, what are now called appeasers

00:44:57.680 They weren't thinking, oh I'm scared, I'm scared of Hitler, I'm scared of pulling the

00:45:06.400 trigger on something as big as a general conflagration.

00:45:08.960 What they were thinking, what they had in their memory banks, was the horror of World

00:45:14.760 War I.

00:45:17.900 All the men that were at the top of the establishment in the late 30s had lived through and most

00:45:24.000 of them fought in World War I.

00:45:27.680 The biggest catastrophe ever to affect human civilisation, not just European.

00:45:33.340 The biggest catastrophe of all time.

00:45:37.660 And the slaughter.

00:45:40.720 A brother war, the type of which had never been seen before.

00:45:44.780 The slaughter of it.

00:45:46.840 Sometimes tens of thousands of men being mown down in a single day.

00:45:53.200 Their calculation, something like Neville Chamberlain was,

00:45:55.240 his calculation was and I don't blame him was let's avoid that let's see if we can avoid that

00:46:05.000 if that means granting things to a man like Hitler so be it that means the Sudetenland a big chunk of

00:46:12.980 Czechoslovakia which was German speaking consider themselves largely German if it means cutting up

00:46:19.220 Cutting off a slice of Czechoslovakia

00:46:21.480 And letting Mr Hitler rule it

00:46:23.440 That's better than redoing

00:46:25.480 World War 1 isn't it

00:46:26.720 I don't blame him

00:46:28.300 But the way history went

00:46:30.900 After the war

00:46:31.940 Got Churchill and the warmongers

00:46:34.500 Maligned everyone that

00:46:36.800 Thought like that

00:46:37.980 That they're just cowards

00:46:40.560 That appeasement is always wrong

00:46:44.640 It's not always wrong

00:46:45.980 They

00:46:48.700 They were trying to do what they thought was right

00:46:51.840 They weren't just cowards

00:46:54.480 They fought in World War I

00:46:57.520 These men weren't cowards

00:46:58.560 Nearly to a man

00:47:00.420 They put their life on the line

00:47:02.740 They want to do it in the right cause

00:47:05.100 In the right way

00:47:06.400 Alright, might get some stick for that take

00:47:10.760 But whatever

00:47:11.220 Alright, on this day in 1946

00:47:14.100 22 Nazi leaders, including Ribbentrop and Goering, were found guilty of war crimes and sentenced

00:47:21.240 to death for prison at the Nuremberg war trials. Goering, of course, never did see the hangman's

00:47:26.620 noose. You know the story of Goering, his final end. He got one of the American guards

00:47:33.740 to somehow smuggle in something for him. The guy's name was Tex. He's from Texas, I suppose.

00:47:40.860 his nickname was Tex and one of the American guards smuggled something in for him and it had

00:47:45.900 a cyanide capsule in it and Hermann Goering in his cell the night before I think it was just the

00:47:51.400 night before he was going to be hung took a cyanide tablet and capsule and died that way

00:47:57.080 Hermann Goering another fascinating figure if you're going to look into read about learn about

00:48:03.400 Hitler's various henchmen Goering is one of the more interesting ones crazy life crazy

00:48:10.860 Filled with adventure and daring do

00:48:14.520 Herman Goering

00:48:15.260 He's slim there

00:48:17.120 That's the slim version of Goering

00:48:19.420 As they put him cold turkey

00:48:22.680 He was a heroin addict

00:48:26.060 Was it heroin?

00:48:27.260 It was pills

00:48:27.900 He took pills

00:48:30.620 I don't think he was intravenously injecting heroin

00:48:32.880 Like in Trainspotting

00:48:34.380 He had pills

00:48:35.460 I guess they were opiate

00:48:37.520 Very strong opiates

00:48:38.420 And had a giant appetite

00:48:41.880 And just lived to excess

00:48:44.180 In all sorts of ways

00:48:45.200 When he was put on trial

00:48:47.600 Obviously goes cold turkey

00:48:49.240 The weight falls off

00:48:50.920 As normal size meals

00:48:53.600 Anyway

00:48:55.480 The Nuremberg trials

00:48:56.640 Fascinating stuff

00:48:58.140 You want to know about World War II or the Cold War

00:49:00.960 Or just European history, 20th century

00:49:03.360 You've got to know all about the Nuremberg trials

00:49:06.000 What went down in what order

00:49:07.100 who were the judges who were the prosecutors what did the who was on trial what ultimate

00:49:15.440 sentences did they did they get they didn't all get hung but albert speer for example he said

00:49:21.460 sorry didn't he he was the nazi who said sorry and they only gave him 20 years or 30 years

00:49:27.080 and by the 1960s he's out albert speer wrote a very very interesting book inside the third

00:49:35.040 Reich I think that's what it's called on History Bro I've got a video all about Albert Speer's

00:49:41.740 book inside the Third Reich some things he talked about so Albert Speer was very very close to

00:49:46.960 Hitler very close to Hitler like his friend Hitler didn't really have many friends or any real

00:49:51.580 friends certainly once he became de Fuhrer but Albert Speer was one of them if I actually just

00:49:57.500 walk along and just talk about art and architecture and things with him if Hitler had any friend it

00:50:04.560 was spear spear and spear wrote all about it really thick book all right on this day in 1980

00:50:14.640 ethernet specifications are published by xerox in collaboration with intel and digital equipment

00:50:20.120 corporation i don't know anything about that couldn't tell you anything about that it's one

00:50:23.260 of those history factoids i just don't know anything about sorry about that seems like a

00:50:28.080 boring one to me all right let's move on to our rumble rancid super chats let me do this with my

00:50:34.120 mic so i can see the left hand side of my screen where the rumble rants are every morning is global

00:51:58.780 And congratulations, Robert

00:52:02.300 okay next one pig dog says people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones men who wear pink shirts

00:52:09.920 shouldn't complain about men crying just saying yeah no for everyone he does put laughing and

00:52:16.320 crying emojis there so yeah i'm comfortable enough in my own skin i can wear a pink shirt and it's

00:52:23.900 not gonna it's not a problem i'm not gonna suddenly start questioning my own sexuality

00:52:30.020 or something because i've put a pink shirt on think i'll be all right i know you're only joking

00:52:35.640 anyway all right next one luke street st luke 91 luke stewart says g'day bo and everyone he's an

00:52:43.080 aussie isn't he how good g'day bo with the cops letting them go free i don't think it's malice

00:52:49.620 i think it's incompetence i don't know how to actually deal with a non-white non-male criminal

00:52:55.900 maybe maybe we'll see we'll see about that it's quite possible i'm not going to say you're

00:53:02.240 definitely wrong who knows all right yeah who knows i don't know next one's luke as well or

00:53:11.540 next to luke you say i find when most companies become public and they start getting shareholders

00:53:18.340 that usually ends up with the company running into the ground and the quality becoming quite

00:53:23.680 s the swear word beginning with s sometimes sometimes not i mean there is a trend there

00:53:30.260 you're not entirely wrong but sometimes sometimes not we'll see next one from luke also says

00:53:35.800 personally i'm kind of glad auntie bum ham hasn't pulled an election straight away it gives restore

00:53:41.700 more time to get organized as well as time for normies to realize that he's just as bad if not

00:53:46.400 worse yeah from a restore point of view absolutely we would like as much time as possible absolutely

00:53:53.900 because we're still only what seven months eight months old still finding our feet massively yeah

00:54:02.360 to go from literally from nothing absolutely nothing to a party that is even three percent

00:54:08.940 let alone six percent let alone ten percent in the polls in as little as seven or eight

00:54:13.360 eight months is a remarkable feat a remarkable feat in and of itself still we would like as

00:54:19.800 much time as possible the more time the better as far as the store is concerned yeah that's true

00:54:25.700 absolutely true um okay next one is tom rat 247 says i'm okay with everything bumham and starma

00:54:34.020 have done and are doing why it makes it easy to justify the necessary correctives when we win

00:54:39.420 ukele the lot yeah the classic accelerationist view i've said before a number of times i'll say

00:54:47.180 it again said it on state of politics state politics just the other day um i've like i've

00:54:53.680 got like a five ten percent accelerationist streak in me same with libertarianism i wouldn't describe

00:55:00.460 myself as a libertarian libertarian i wouldn't describe myself as an accelerationist but i

00:55:05.560 totally get it i more than get it yeah five ten percent of me is like yeah it's sort of correct

00:55:13.520 but only five or ten percent i know what you mean though and i understand i understand i wouldn't i

00:55:22.600 i won't really pour school on libertarians or accelerationists they're completely i don't know

00:55:28.300 why i keep saying them in the same breath they're completely different things aren't they

00:55:30.420 completely unconnected things but i don't pour school on those people even if i think they're

00:55:34.820 largely wrong because there's an element to it which is not wrong yeah okay all right you go on

00:55:44.880 and on about about that all right the next one is luke again he says i'm starting to think this

00:55:50.380 terrorist action was a dry run yeah it is that may be true it feels a bit like that i can something

00:55:56.840 about that rings true it's a dry run it's fascinating when you listen to a lot about

00:56:04.700 terrorist attacks a lot will try a practice run and see if they can get close to the target yeah

00:56:09.220 yeah classic all sorts of crimes just even a burglary just casing the joint yeah just a normal

00:56:15.620 burglary just going around and looking at it making sure you know exactly the ang all the angles

00:56:20.780 scoping it out yeah may well be the case okay the next one is belgians are evil trust me or

00:56:28.520 next to a belgians are evil trust me that's their name belgians are evil trust me says

00:56:33.680 non-fuldulent psychologists in the future need to study how left-wing voters in 2026

00:56:39.740 complained about the country state all while supporting to the hilt the party's burning

00:56:44.920 Down said country

00:56:45.940 Fools

00:56:46.660 Yeah

00:56:47.120 Yeah the psychology of it

00:56:49.800 Is odd isn't it

00:56:50.460 We hate Labour

00:56:53.000 We hate Starmer

00:56:54.100 But we're going to vote Labour again

00:56:55.780 Hmm

00:56:57.500 Right

00:56:59.020 Well

00:57:02.300 It was certainly

00:57:03.280 Strategically

00:57:04.860 A canny move

00:57:06.900 To do

00:57:08.740 Makerfield wasn't it

00:57:09.820 Because they tried

00:57:10.480 Galton and Denton

00:57:11.400 Didn't they

00:57:11.840 That backfired

00:57:13.860 He was too lefty

00:57:15.160 Goulton Denton was too left wing

00:57:16.800 They went for Greens didn't they

00:57:18.620 They went for that cretinous woman

00:57:20.420 I don't even remember her name

00:57:22.220 A pathetic excuse for a politician

00:57:26.880 Some silly little girl

00:57:29.060 LARPing as a politician

00:57:30.340 Goulton Denton went too far

00:57:32.460 But Makerfield

00:57:33.380 Oh bang

00:57:34.380 Right on the money

00:57:35.960 Bullseye

00:57:37.660 That's where Burnham will get a great win

00:57:40.840 Bullseye

00:57:41.660 Strategically

00:57:42.620 a perfect move

00:57:44.280 will that play out

00:57:47.120 across the rest of the country

00:57:48.840 at the next general election

00:57:50.040 no

00:57:51.260 highly doubt it

00:57:52.760 ok

00:57:53.580 the next one

00:57:55.640 Belgian's Evil Trust Me says

00:57:56.620 Saturday the 26th of September

00:57:59.080 Saturday the 26th of September

00:58:03.160 was the 517th anniversary

00:58:05.740 of terrible floods

00:58:07.460 in Groningen and East Frisia

00:58:09.340 remember East Frisia good

00:58:11.700 West Frisier

00:58:12.720 Fryland

00:58:14.420 Bad

00:58:14.980 Why didn't you have

00:58:16.780 A special weekend show

00:58:17.840 To mourn

00:58:18.700 Sorry

00:58:19.140 Can only apologise

00:58:20.540 We dropped the ball there

00:58:21.400 We dropped

00:58:22.460 We should have done

00:58:23.040 Shouldn't we

00:58:23.520 Apology

00:58:24.640 We can only apologise

00:58:25.780 I apologise on behalf

00:58:27.540 Of all Lotus Eaters

00:58:28.700 For that oversight

00:58:30.300 Okay

00:58:33.400 Pig Dog

00:58:34.520 Next one says

00:58:35.200 The Verve

00:58:38.020 Urban Hymns

00:58:38.680 Album is excellent

00:58:39.540 Yeah it's great

00:58:40.080 Yeah

00:58:40.380 Yeah

00:58:41.380 I love the Verve

00:58:42.120 They were great

00:58:42.700 Everything else is pretty much

00:58:44.820 Below average

00:58:45.460 Ashcroft solo stuff

00:58:46.780 Was meh too

00:58:47.520 Yeah

00:58:47.960 Yeah I wasn't overwhelmed

00:58:50.400 With Ashcroft's solo career

00:58:52.220 Blur have a good best of

00:58:55.120 Best of

00:58:56.260 Oasis by far the best band

00:58:58.080 Absolute bangers

00:58:58.820 Yeah when I was a teenager

00:59:00.280 Or a young teenager

00:59:00.920 In the early 90s

00:59:02.300 Early mid 90s

00:59:03.500 When the Blur Oasis thing

00:59:05.120 Was a thing

00:59:05.640 I was firmly in the Oasis camp

00:59:08.400 It's not that Blur

00:59:09.180 Didn't have some good songs

00:59:10.160 Of course they did

00:59:11.380 But the first two, three Oasis albums, every single song was good, in my opinion.

00:59:18.920 I think Noel is a better songwriter than Damon Albom.

00:59:24.340 Or Richard Ashcroft.

00:59:27.560 I'm a Noel fan.

00:59:30.200 Alright, next one, Belgian's Evil Trust Me says,

00:59:32.360 the second Cosmas and Damien flood

00:59:37.240 on September the 26th, 1509

00:59:40.560 should remind us of our eternal need

00:59:43.280 to secure the dikes

00:59:44.280 what's going on about Frisia again

00:59:47.400 and including

00:59:50.260 I won't read that

00:59:52.280 because it's a tiny bit blue

00:59:53.080 and more territory at the expense of Belgians

00:59:56.260 and West Frisia

00:59:57.020 okay

01:00:00.600 okay he loves the frisian um frisian separatism okay pig dog next one says crying is awkward

01:00:11.020 before i left finance i basically had a breakdown weekly mostly frustration and stress sucks

01:00:16.920 couldn't help it i'm six foot and broadish not small yeah sometimes life gets on top of you

01:00:23.260 absolutely absolutely sometimes it's a release valve you need if it's good enough for achilles

01:00:29.520 it's good enough for anyone achilles and odysseus cry all the time these are great warrior men

01:00:37.280 that are fearless throw their life into the maelstrom of battle over and over again and

01:00:44.920 they cried they cried all the time okay next to a pig dog again who says ran into a burning

01:00:51.520 building pulled someone out once dived in and saved a drowning mate as a teen jumped over a

01:00:57.480 cliff edge to stop someone falling and you're saying you would break down weekly right yeah

01:01:03.920 it's not to do with cowardice is it and then the next one say but I cry regularly the suffering

01:01:10.960 of animals abusive children horrific treatment of adults traitor politicians poverty starvation

01:01:16.320 invasion I'm just about I am just about made of barely I'm just about I'm just about made

01:01:24.020 to cope barely with this world right yeah no i get it i get it i wrote an article once about

01:01:33.620 the loss of my mother my mother has passed away and i would cry about that it's many years ago now

01:01:39.780 yeah it's okay it's okay but maybe someone like jordan peterson goes a bit too far i would say

01:01:49.800 the other day or a few weeks ago i saw a clip of him and it was something very very minimal

01:01:55.780 very very minimal something someone asked him about something about art or something

01:02:00.980 and he started crying about it

01:02:03.580 but no i get it all right belgians are evil trust me again says can you empathize with chamberlain's

01:02:12.080 19 oh sorry he says you can empathize with chamberlain's 1938 geopolitical concerns

01:02:17.160 world war ii bankrupted britain and led to the total loss of empire india by 1947

01:02:22.100 the wikipedia crowd are not critical thinkers at all yeah

01:02:25.780 yeah there's more than one way to look at and analyze world war ii rather than the boomer

01:02:33.420 truth regime version of it more than one way to read history often

01:02:38.680 yeah and someone like chamberlain's geopolitical concerns in 1938 i don't think are to be

01:02:47.000 written off it's just entirely wrong-headed and pathetic or cowardly or anything i think it came

01:02:56.020 from a good place it came from a noble place i didn't want another brother war you want to see

01:03:01.580 another slaughter of a whole generation of men okay there's more there's more next one pig dog

01:04:56.460 doesn't find that amusing.

01:05:00.060 But he is fighting for what's good,

01:06:25.260 YouTube superchats

01:06:26.900 There's 20 or so

01:06:29.140 So let's start

01:06:30.200 Majestic Star Duelist

01:06:33.060 Says, good morning Bo, morning

01:06:34.600 My favourite conspiracy theory

01:06:36.980 At the moment are that you

01:06:38.660 And global church history are the same person

01:06:40.740 No one's ever seen us in the same room at the same time

01:06:43.120 Just saying

01:06:44.120 The piece for BBC Wales

01:06:46.620 Was you doing an impression

01:06:47.940 Well

01:06:50.940 Don't know what's real and what's not these days

01:06:54.460 In the post-truth world

01:06:55.400 But I am not the same person as Global Church History

01:06:58.300 Or I would say that

01:07:00.500 Wouldn't I

01:07:00.920 It doesn't make sense

01:07:03.420 Okay

01:07:03.940 Birdshid

01:07:07.520 Oh sorry

01:07:11.060 Burbshid

01:07:12.240 Burbshid says

01:07:14.780 Hold on to our industries

01:07:17.520 we have fa left in australia have not much left in australia yes it's a good axiom truism

01:07:26.980 we should have our own industries yes absolutely absolutely tatum says bo what do you think

01:07:35.760 or what would i do if the u.s had a second civil war four sides all fighting 1v1v1v1 trump

01:07:43.660 MAGA, Democrats

01:07:45.060 the Communists, Anarchists

01:07:47.460 and Fascists

01:07:48.340 I guess

01:07:53.120 well my gut was to go with

01:07:55.760 oh god

01:07:57.380 I don't know, well I suppose it would have

01:07:59.640 to be

01:08:00.220 depends what stripe of Fascists it was

01:08:05.600 and what stripe of Democrats it was

01:08:07.720 obviously I can't go with the Communists

01:08:09.500 or the Anarchists

01:08:10.340 the Trump MAGA thing, again it depends

01:08:13.160 I'd have to

01:08:16.000 have to know exactly what type of

01:08:18.920 because there's different types of Democrats

01:08:21.060 right there's the modern democratic party

01:08:23.020 which are not much different to communists and anarchists

01:08:26.820 are they

01:08:27.200 but you could have the old school type of

01:08:30.340 early 20th century Democrats

01:08:32.620 that are nothing like that

01:08:34.740 like true Democrats

01:08:37.840 they were true early 20th century Democrats

01:08:42.340 probably them but then they probably wouldn't be i'd have to know more before answering that

01:08:49.120 question emily for restore says you're telling me arabs cheated bow question mark exclamation mark

01:08:56.580 exclamation mark yeah yeah yeah there's this there's certain cultures in the world vast

01:09:03.140 swathes of the world where in their culture if you abide by the rules when you don't have to

01:09:08.820 you're just a chump it's not that it's morally right ethically right there's something gross

01:09:13.980 about breaking the rules and being a corrupt cheat no if you can cheat and be corrupt and

01:09:19.420 get away with it and it's in your interests you'd be mad not to it's a very different way of looking

01:09:24.320 at the world isn't it that's how a lot of middle eastern cultures are if you can do something and

01:09:31.880 it's against the rules against the law even but you can get away with it and it benefits you why

01:09:36.740 not do it you'd be mad not to do it yeah so the ultra rich people in Abu Dhabi that broke the

01:09:48.820 rules what a surprise global foot job history says if Burnham called an election anytime soon

01:09:58.180 would Labour take it or are things simply too volatile to say right now yeah well all the

01:10:04.780 polls have Labour and reform about neck and neck and the Tories have touched behind, more or less

01:10:10.300 Labour, Tory and reform, neck and neck, kind of, a bit. Last poll I saw put the Tories a little

01:10:17.580 behind. So if those polls are to be trusted, and they usually are close, they usually are pretty

01:10:23.580 good to be honest, within reason, not perfect but reasonably accurate most of the time, well that

01:10:31.100 would lead to a hung parliament and either labour if labour nicked it if I have a depends on the

01:10:40.660 exact numbers whether they could form a minority government but that's terrible or they could form

01:10:45.080 a coalition with what the Lib Dems and the Greens maybe they couldn't do that it'd probably be a

01:10:50.640 reform uh probably a yeah a reform Tory coalition instead although both Nigel and Kemi Oli Kemi

01:10:58.100 Badnock, the Nigerian anchor baby, bizarrely finds herself LARPing as the leader of the

01:11:02.560 opposition, both Kemi, Olu Kemi and Nigel have insisted they won't form a coalition together.

01:11:10.900 I feel like if that was a reality though, they would. They were in a position. It's either

01:11:16.140 let Labour rule as a minority government or they form a coalition. I'm sure they would.

01:11:22.720 I'm sure they would. I'm not sure. Who knows? I don't know the future, but I would put money

01:11:26.660 that they would who knows maybe nigel would just have a line in the sand i don't know but where

01:11:37.680 you say is it too volatile to say right now yeah that's the answer it's too nip and tuck it's too

01:11:42.600 close too volatile to say that's that's the real answer okay next one is tatum says wasn't named

01:11:49.400 istanbul till 1930s ottomans larked rome oh sorry fair enough yeah no fair point is that right

01:11:55.480 was it as late as 1930 yeah they were still calling it constantinople weren't they in the

01:12:02.380 in the 19th century yeah okay shoney c how are you says um perhaps fairfield lot were just

01:12:11.640 watching badgers yeah just wildlife enthusiasts in their white vans filled with petrol

01:12:19.200 23 to 24 year old black london nature enthusiasts they just happen to pick a spot next to one of

01:12:30.480 the most sensitive rf bases in the country yeah just watching badgers bro

01:12:55.980 Shout out to Joseph Randall

01:12:57.320 In Oklahoma

01:12:59.520 Okay

01:13:00.320 Mr. Pastry 2010

01:13:03.340 Says, is an Englishman

01:13:06.020 The same question as what is a woman

01:13:07.900 Right, well in the sense that

01:13:10.240 Everyone knows there's an obvious answer

01:13:12.420 Biological answer

01:13:14.300 Yeah

01:13:14.760 Yeah, completely

01:13:16.820 100% yeah

01:13:17.900 Anyone even asking the question

01:13:20.380 Is just trying to play stupid head games

01:13:23.540 Yeah, reject the whole thing

01:13:26.200 Don't ask me what is or isn't a woman

01:13:28.440 I'm not interested in engaging in that at all

01:13:30.680 Because you're just some sort of subversive freak

01:13:33.520 I know what a woman is

01:13:35.880 Everyone knows what a woman is or isn't

01:13:38.620 Stop asking me

01:13:40.060 You know, have my face

01:13:41.360 Same goes for what is an Englishman

01:13:44.060 Yeah

01:13:44.360 stop asking me you know i know everyone knows

01:13:49.000 global foot job history says if burnham called an election anytime soon would label take it

01:13:57.160 oh sorry sorry my screen's just flickered up we've already done that haven't we where are we down to

01:14:02.520 um it is global foot job history those the next one says by the way did you know that in the 1950s
