00:01:02.340
one of the ogs 12 years i've been doing this lark and you've been about a while
00:01:07.800
and yet we still had some technical issues at the start technical issues always plagued by technical
00:01:16.180
issues it's never straightforward um i saw little harry i would completely boomer it to oblivion if
00:01:22.660
it was left to me so you see you've moved up the ladder you've got assistants i pretend to have
00:01:30.020
them but it's just me well thank you for coming on sir we've we've uh we've done content before

00:01:45.500
really appreciate it um so well with with no further ado then let's just let's let's stop
00:01:52.300
all the fannying and faffing about and talk about what's in the news today so today the cabal of
00:01:58.060
evil fleet street editors have decided they're not going with mandy anymore they're bored with
00:02:01.680
that one day is enough for mandy they've moved on to the henry novak killing so the headlines are
00:02:09.260
plea for calm ignored and arrest the outraged nation and it really is again with the exceptional
00:02:16.700
think of the financial times it's on the front of every single paper and if you look if we have a
00:02:21.820
super quick look at the websites look there we go novak novak novak novak okay you get it people get
00:02:31.100
it um so if i if i read the blurb on the front of the eye paper because it usually says it all
00:02:36.220
and then we can we'll have a little chat about it okay so family's plea for calm ignored
00:02:41.520
the nudge unit plea for calm hundreds of protesters around southampton police station
00:02:49.520
chanting i can't breathe after murder of student henry novak far-right activists including tommy
00:02:55.960
robinson uh they didn't they didn't say real name steven yacksy lennon that time but tommy
00:03:01.660
robinson called for demonstrations amid outcry at killing henry's father mark had said we do not
00:03:07.680
want this death to be used to create further division hatred and tension this is not a case
00:03:12.120
about sikhism or racism but this is a case about murder horrifying body cam footage uh shown at
00:03:18.080
trial revealed how police officers ignored henry's plea for help in his dying moments as they
00:03:23.700
handcuffed him and uh missed his stab wound p wounds uh prime minister tory leader and home
00:03:30.400
secretary say nigel farage is wrong to demand quote pure cold rage quote after he claims uh
00:03:36.620
that case is evidence of quote two-tier culture quote before uh and because quote white lives
00:03:42.740
matter too end quote vikram dig digua 23 sentenced to life in prison with minimum term of 21 years
00:03:49.500
for henry's murder he lied to police at the scene falsely alleging he had been a victim of a racist
00:03:54.760
attack keir starmer adds that police do have quote serious questions to answer quote as one officer
00:04:00.240
resigns police chiefs say they are listening to quote legitimate concerns quote about anti-racism
00:04:05.500
guidelines all right that says most of the talking points what's your thoughts and feelings on all
00:04:11.020
this chris this um the second one we do not want his death to create further division
00:04:19.920
it always this always seems to happen in these instances and i'm i'm starting it's so it's so
00:04:29.160
frequent um i wonder if they sit them down and talk to them in their moment of you know what
00:04:38.280
would it be you know they're vulnerable they've just lost someone right this is where we get in
00:04:44.280
and say to them could you say something like this isn't about race because if you if if you were to
00:04:54.360
stir that pot this could you know some sort of mild threat because it's just always there and i
00:05:02.760
would that be you know if you were being interviewed by anyone a newspaper the police
00:05:09.240
and you've just lost a son or a husband whatever would you say that i mean are these people that
00:05:16.520
politically engaged that that would be you know like it's the second line after they've
00:05:23.480
called tommy robinson well well called that actually stephen actually lennon that is weird
00:05:29.920
that that's gone um but it's the second thing isn't it is dad said don't try and use this for
0.56
00:05:36.560
your own right wing political purposes you racist you know it's just absurd it's and also the other
00:05:44.620
thing i don't know how easy it is for you to get back to the it might be the headline of this
0.97
00:05:49.160
article so you might be able to just scroll up this from a semiotic point of view it's verging
00:05:55.320
on cryptic yeah yeah i'm ignored you know one of the things i learned i love cryptic
00:06:05.880
jack lecan said if you can understand cryptic crosswords you can understand psychoanalysis so
00:06:13.500
If you don't know how to do them, people, get into them.
00:06:16.960
But one of the things you do is add punctuation.
00:06:24.620
But plea for calm, ignored on its own is a stranger.
00:06:33.880
And in marketing, it's the difference between messaging and signaling.
00:06:38.240
in it's almost like they've got the the bits they want in there's outrage there's a plea for calm
00:06:45.260
but as a headline for a murder that we now know having seen the body cams is very suspect
00:06:54.160
very unpleasant that doesn't really seem like a headline that fits the story at all
00:07:01.580
that that that's pure ideology there there there's a there's a youtube channel called the behavior
00:07:10.180
panel they're like body language experts pretty good as well they've worked in the military for
00:07:16.800
like a couple of them have 20 years doing interrogation and resistance to interrogation
00:07:21.660
you know they've they've earned their chops and one of them a geezer called chase hughes is part
00:07:28.640
of his he's selling ground news but he says this really good thing at the start he says the media
00:07:34.800
isn't broken it's working perfectly it's doing the exact job that it's intended for and that headline
00:07:43.260
and that that second line in the sort of little summary you know you could pick this apart for
00:07:51.640
hours just the language so that that yeah i mean i don't even know what they're asking me to do
00:07:57.160
i know i'm just getting a sense of something and that's dangerous that's dangerous when the media
00:08:03.400
does that the i've said a number of times uh on breakfast though the uh the yeah the language
00:08:09.720
they use in headlines is often like nonsensical it's not proper english i mean i tried to look
00:08:14.280
for it just then but couldn't find it but i saw a headline somewhere else this morning
00:08:17.400
and it said something like cuff cops in national fury or something like that
00:08:22.760
cuff cops cuff cops in national theory so like complete like a small child that's how a small
00:08:29.400
child would try and build a sentence it's absolutely ridiculous yeah often there should
00:08:35.080
be a comma in their headline if the headline's like a full two lines long there's no punctuation
00:08:39.720
and so you have to read it two or three times to get what they're even saying about but yeah about
00:08:43.400
the father well we know there's nudge units don't we home office nudge units we know it's exactly
00:08:48.680
that chris they get the they get the family at like a moment of like pure mourning and grief
00:08:57.880
they get them at that moment they've got trained people that say remember try you know say something
00:09:04.360
about anti-racism remember say something that this isn't about about race this say something
00:09:09.800
about multiculturalism say something about like the far right how this is they do they we know
00:09:14.760
they do that right and unfortunately from in my mind unfortunately most of these grieving families
00:09:22.040
buy it and do it every now and again every now and again you get one that doesn't don't you
00:09:25.960
every now and again you'll get like a mom of a murder victim come out it stands out as an anomaly
00:09:32.600
everyone again like a mum or something will say no i don't forgive the murderer of my child no i don't
00:09:38.520
and you're quite right it stands out when they don't doesn't it it's almost shocking that a
00:09:43.080
mother doesn't forgive the killer of her son it's like what hang on no you have to this that's not
00:09:48.820
the world we inhabit but you said there again it it might seem i i like i haven't i haven't come
00:09:58.820
across his term nudge units um apologies but i like it but i they haven't got anywhere near grief
00:10:06.500
when this is all happening this is i think this is police station what hang on you know 10 minutes
00:10:14.460
ago the report come in you know they'll have psychologists working at the police they'll say
00:10:20.260
that's when you tell them what to do because they're they're open to suggestion because they
00:10:26.340
need your help you at that point you're like a father to the situation and so they'll pretty
00:10:33.720
much do anything i mean i just i'm just not buying it that you know where does the quote end
00:10:44.840
it so he said all of that this is not a case about seekism brackets or racism this is a case
00:10:54.280
about murder i don't know i just i just don't buy it again it's signaling yeah i mean well and
00:11:01.160
And all sorts of people, he says the PM, the Tory leader and the Home Secretary have all come out and made statements, various different types of statements.
00:11:10.180
Look, we've got we've got Kemi there. Kemi saying, because Nigel, well, let's start with Nigel.
00:11:15.780
Nigel came out and did a statement yesterday. It was actually quite a good statement.
00:11:19.200
We're not, I'm not a fan of Nigel here. I think reform is a containment project. I think it's a vanity project.
00:11:24.300
However, if he says something I agree with and I think he's right, I will say so. I'll give him credit for it.
00:11:29.040
his statement yesterday was absolutely on the money for me one of the things he said is that
00:11:33.040
white lives matter too right kemi badnock said don't tell me about white lives matter to be
00:11:39.120
fair she actually also said don't tell me about black lives matter everyone should be absolutely
00:11:43.120
equal under law which is what nigel was saying which is so they're both saying it in in slightly
00:11:48.240
different ways so kemi badnock's come out there you can see shabana mahoud she come out and she
00:11:54.320
She said, you know, we shouldn't stoke division and all sorts of things.
0.66
00:11:59.340
So queer Stalin said he thought that he was sickened.
0.54
00:12:07.020
We should look at the anti-racism guidelines, all sorts of things.
00:12:10.220
People have been talking about it for years and years and years.
00:12:12.580
I mean, Kemi Badenoch said, and what do you think about this?
00:12:16.220
She said she wanted Britain to be a multiracial, a multiethnic society,
00:12:34.960
So multi-ethnic is there's multi-ethnicities
0.95
00:12:46.700
And they all go to Church of England and drink tea and watch cricket
00:12:54.220
it doesn't survive the most superficial analysis but you know when you're having your your slice
00:13:00.780
of toast in the morning and that message gets sent around enough newspapers okay but it was
00:13:07.420
interesting that they just called her bad enough there like now she's just you know she she she's
00:13:12.940
got to the ranks of like madonna just to see now she's just share it's like share just bad enough
00:13:33.400
I can't remember her full name, all her middle names
00:13:44.560
A bit, let's just whip through them because it's basically
00:13:49.020
cuff cop quits okay arrest the outrage nation all right oh oh there's that one
00:13:56.220
there's a princess of wales she's looking radiant there don't you think she's radiant chris
00:14:06.700
that's a tongue twister go and go back to that cuff thing and read it out go on quick go
1.00
00:14:12.220
Cuff Cops quits. Cuff Cops quits. Arrested out radiation.
1.00
00:14:17.740
I can't do it. Cuff Cops quits. Cuff Cops quits. Cuff Cops. Ah, twice. Cuff Cops quits.
00:14:27.100
Right, we got it. I still don't know. Imagine that though, like the senior editors
00:14:30.780
at the Daily Star, like, how are we going to characterize this? What phraseology,
00:14:35.500
what terminology are we going to use? Someone goes, Cuff Cops. They go, yes, print that,
00:14:40.460
cuff cops brilliant that's what we're going to say that's how we're going to characterize it
00:14:45.500
oh you're right she actually has a very very fake stilted grin isn't it there i'm sorry you
00:14:50.300
can say more about the cuff cops sorry but i just wonder how long it takes them to put together like
00:14:56.620
compared to years ago to put together a front page of a you know of a a newspaper it just
00:15:04.780
it looks like it's been knocked up by someone on fiverr someone in bangladesh and i need a tabloid
00:15:11.100
something that looks like a tabloid cover bosh bosh bosh there you go it's funny actually say
00:15:16.380
that i once saw i once saw a little clip or maybe it's in a documentary or something and it was
00:15:20.540
about and it was years ago it's like 10 15 years ago i saw this clip somewhere and it was talking
00:15:25.420
about how in the olden days in like the analog olden days how it would take a team of people to
00:15:30.620
make a front page like that before it went to print and now it's one dude on a computer where
00:15:36.380
he just literally literally one dude and he just moves the stuff around all the different departments
00:15:40.700
give them what they want and he just moves it around puts it on a thing so yeah it's sort of
00:15:44.220
one dude in like photoshop or whatever isn't it well something probably better than photoshop but
00:15:48.300
you know what i mean um all right the telegraph the daily torograph again police face call to
00:15:53.580
drop race bias policies oh i mean it's an uphill battle isn't it if the state even if the actual
00:16:00.220
of state the government want to completely change the culture in the nhs the home office the foreign
00:16:07.820
office the police whatever it takes a long time one example of that you might have noticed in
00:16:12.740
recent times is where the high court came out and said that women only spaces should be for women
00:16:18.320
only that you kind of transvestite men going into female toilets and changing rooms and yet
00:16:23.320
the vast majority of whitehall and various apparatuses of state are just ignoring that
00:16:31.800
You could have the Prime Minister of the Home Secretary saying,
00:16:33.760
stop race bias, but it won't just change like that, will it?
00:16:42.060
There's a disconnect from, you know, this is just propaganda.
00:16:49.540
It's doing its job, but this doesn't have very much to do
00:16:54.080
with the actual mechanics of Parliament and lawmaking.
00:16:58.660
it's it's a separate it you know it's a separate institution and i doubt there's a lot of
00:17:06.700
communication until it's like until they until they don't tow the party line and then then doors
0.50
00:17:12.780
get knocked yeah i mean the princess looks like she's just had a door not there
00:17:18.280
yeah that is that is that is quite a stilted sort of grid isn't it it's like oh there's cameras
00:17:55.200
until like yesterday that that was a function there's a story somewhere on the bbc news website
00:17:59.420
i didn't even know that was a function but it is well no that's what i'm saying to you it said
00:18:04.780
just like the last few days it's like oh these messages disappeared because you've got vanishing
00:18:12.260
messages set up okay all right sort of i didn't have anything to do with setting that up which
00:18:20.560
is an interesting you know meta i i i spend quite a lot of time on meta because um i have stocks in
00:18:28.720
meta so i'm interested in where they're going and they're they're they're looking at um subscription
00:18:34.480
models and you know meta prints money anyway what is it facebook instagram threads whatsapp
00:18:41.360
american view you know americans don't know what whatsapp is and the rest of the world use it for
00:18:47.040
everything yeah you say whatsapp on an american podcast they're like what what is that it's like
00:18:54.080
what what's that but um they're looking at these subscription models and right i'm gonna have to go
00:19:01.040
back a little bit here so about a year ago gmail started offering me automatic sort of early i mean
00:19:11.400
only a year ago but the exponential growth of ai we could still call it early offering it was
00:19:18.060
offering me automated messages replies after that i've seen that on gmail yeah yeah and it's been
00:19:24.720
developing and developing and now it's doing it in my vernacular now it's starting to say
00:19:31.680
nice one mate and i'm like whoa it's a bit scary i'll catch up with you when i'm you know when i've
00:19:40.080
got a little less on and i'm like whoa now this will this does come back to this and it comes
00:19:46.940
back to meta and it comes back to the subscriptions but i i thought as you know i will never use that
00:19:54.540
you know no way am i just gonna send off a message that ai has written to reply to a friend
00:20:01.260
a colleague you know some you know some someone i'm working with but then i started using them
00:20:08.720
then I started doing it because you wake up to 300 emails yeah okay I'll just use the AI message
00:20:16.780
and then I thought you know this this is I was wondering what Meta are going to do with these
00:20:22.920
subscriptions you know that they want that regular fiver a month for an extra sort of function on
00:20:31.120
Facebook Instagram whatever you know whatever platform that's what you'll pay for extra
00:20:37.560
functions and there'll come a time i predict maybe six months maybe a year well you're where
00:20:44.620
you'll be able to automate replies to certain people but there's certain people who email me
00:20:50.540
regularly and i never want to talk to them and i'll set it up and just say just send them a reply
00:20:58.200
in you know use my vocabulary you know and just send it to them and then i thought
00:21:03.840
they might get bored with me after a while but they don't want to say that so they also set up
00:21:12.420
an automated reply yeah you see where this is going it's just ai fobbing each other off endlessly
00:21:18.680
well we both die and for the next hundred years it's not funny is it it's dystopian yeah yeah and
00:21:28.780
And I've had one of my Gmail accounts since it was, you know,
00:21:40.820
And, you know, a lot of them have got, you know, I'm a writer,
00:21:47.180
They know a lot about me, autobiographical writings.
00:21:50.900
You know, they could probably do a convincing impression.
00:21:54.400
Well, I know they can because I've got them to do it.
00:21:57.020
I've got a broad to do an impression of me and my writing and it just it just goes through substack goes for a few other things online and then talks to me as me so so yeah so one day I might bump into that fella in the street who I haven't spoken to for 10 years but but we are we it's funny you mentioned you get AI to read everything you've ever written in a split second and then mimic you
00:22:26.760
I saw an interesting clip on the other day of Julian Barnes, you know, the famous, the very, very famous, best-selling author, Julian Barnes.
00:22:35.420
And they got AI to generate a paragraph, like an opening paragraph of a Julian Barnes novel and got Julian Barnes to read it.
00:22:48.660
It's not quite right, but it's, you know, it's sort of worryingly convincing still, though.
00:22:56.760
I'm with you, Chris. I'm deeply, deeply suspicious of AI. I've never used it once to generate one thing I've ever sent ever. And I don't intend to. That's robbing me of my humanity in some way, I feel like.
00:23:08.060
I'm not deeply suspicious of it, actually. I think intelligent people, I think there's an element of duty to get your heads around it and to be using it.
00:23:24.580
because you are going to get pushed out of culture
00:23:30.740
if you're not engaging in the dominant culture, which is AI.
00:23:39.140
You know, I watched you a couple of weeks ago talking about stocks.
00:23:42.800
You know, you look at what's happening to AMD at the moment
00:23:45.500
and going back to meta, I never did get back to that.
00:23:48.860
But that subscription model will be things like that, automatic replies.
00:24:17.780
so be it then, I'll be outside the culture then
00:24:21.140
And the other thing is that there'll always be like a niche.
00:24:24.940
I think there'll still always be a niche for like a real human saying real human things,
00:24:30.520
like irrational and emotional things, something from the heart.
00:24:36.460
I think that a lot of people think that's the biggest problem.
00:24:50.260
some people might know him jock and um i in the early days of mid-journey i said draw batman
00:24:58.140
having a mcdonald's in the style of jock and jock has got quite a unique style you know that which
00:25:04.900
is why he's at the top of his game and it was it was it looked exactly like jock and i sent it to
00:25:11.100
him and he wrote back wtf exclamation mark you know because he it was really early days and he
00:25:29.920
French sort of pseudo philosopher, John Baudrillard,
00:25:48.120
but anyway i said to jock i i said to him that i said i think this is actually going to give
00:25:56.480
people such as yourself more value i think the fact that people are going to be able to just
00:26:04.340
i don't want to say ai slot because that itself is like an ai meme now but you know actual writers
00:26:14.160
who can respond to the change you know it's darwinian writers artists whatever
00:26:20.800
how those that can adapt to the changing conditions of their uh creative production
00:26:30.540
will survive you know like they said photography was going to kill art and it actually in it you
00:26:38.520
You know, I think it actually, I think art survived because of photography.
00:26:45.860
You know, we had lumpen things like Impressionism, Post-Impressionism.
00:26:54.960
And people went mad about photography like they are now about AI.
00:27:03.500
I mean, the thing, the parallels with art is that the advent of photography, it didn't kill fine art.
00:27:11.780
But we do live in a world now where someone like Damien Hirst or Tracy Emmons installations are considered art.
00:27:17.460
And people don't really paint like Titian or Rubens or Michelangelo very much, do they?
00:27:24.660
You're encouraged, oh, just do some stencil like Banksy.
00:27:58.300
in beautiful sort of renaissance, you know, huge canvases,
00:28:06.720
Modernism, Kandinsky, Paul Klee and the like, Jackson Pollock,
00:28:11.520
didn't mean other people had to stop, you know,
00:28:24.180
He built a factory, he employed students and said,
00:28:32.140
And he's one of the most famous artists of the 20th century
00:28:37.480
Yeah, but how vapid, how hollow is that though, Chris?
00:28:39.860
Don't you find that vapid and hollow and valueless, ultimately?
00:28:54.000
well i think i think in the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes was absolutely
0.99
00:29:08.660
sorry i've got the missus forgetting i'm live and okay sorry so we've got to move on a little
0.97
00:29:15.580
bit if we get back brilliant as that conversation is i'll get you on for an interview we'll talk
00:29:18.940
works with me always comes back to this nonsense apologies let's go no no i've done a few bits of
00:29:24.460
uh art history with josh firm i've talked i've got three or four bits of long-form conversation
00:29:28.640
about art history uh being a history nerd you can't avoid getting involved in art history at
00:29:34.040
some point so i'll have you on for an interview and we'll do a long-form thing all about art
00:29:37.140
history because i know you know your stuff but um we've got to get back to the news here if you
00:29:41.040
don't mind so one last thing on on the on on the on the riots look at that image
00:29:52.580
And all the different riots that are going on in Southampton
00:30:40.860
in england uk or the uk but also most of the west you know it's in real trouble i think things
00:30:54.260
are far worse than even people on the dissident right um are free and able to admit i and i think
00:31:04.300
it's going to you know this isn't something that's going to get changed overnight i think
00:31:37.200
we are we are the the state is our enemy we are we we're permanently um surveying ourselves
00:31:47.820
checking ourselves i'll bet everyone in there has started writing a post on social media and
00:31:52.920
halfway through thought you know what actually for the five clicks it's going to get me
00:31:58.560
that's not worth it that could cause me problems and you know i i'd love the idea there's a
00:32:35.940
in the 50s you wouldn't be surprised you'd think wow that that's a country a distressed country
00:32:43.900
yeah censorship self-censorship the idea of the state i'm not i don't call myself a libertarian
00:32:49.960
but i have got some libertarian leanings absolutely i don't think we can really exist
00:32:55.480
with that with zero state you evil statist bow how dare you however i would love to see a massive
00:33:00.660
reduction in the state massive i can't remember who it was but um i was reading about a year ago
00:33:05.800
or so how how the state functioned around the turn of the century 20th century before world war one
00:33:12.520
and that and that the state very had very very very minimal almost zero interaction with most
00:33:19.940
people if you hadn't if you hadn't joined the army or the national service and and and so there's
00:33:26.180
that and then the post office the post office was nationalized and so everyone would use the nearly
00:33:32.300
everyone would use the post office beyond that it didn't really touch your life for most people
00:33:37.280
almost their entire life yeah and yeah so we live in a world now in the 2020s of course where the
00:33:45.520
state at least in brown where the state is gigantic compared to that absolutely gigantic and i would
00:33:52.240
like to see uh it it reduced basically i don't want a nanny state i don't want the state involved
00:33:57.340
just let me grill bro and actually that leaves me on as a nice little segue because
00:34:01.300
rupert low uh echoes some of those sentiments okay sorry just what just on that yeah you'll
00:34:09.800
know the numbers or roughly certainly more than i but how many people were locked up last year
00:34:14.920
or for for speech in the uk it's i don't know it's a few thousand though wasn't it it's a few
00:34:20.560
yeah and we've become so desensitized to these things but again go back 20 or 30 years and
00:34:29.400
and hear that well you're gonna have to go back further than 30 years but imagine the 80s oh
00:34:36.440
so be it russia you know pre glasnost and perestroika but pre gorbachev and and you know
00:34:43.620
oh they've they've got 3 000 people in prison for things they said you know they they raided
00:34:49.740
their house at night they took all their equipment and you know and they put them in prison for like
00:34:55.820
eight eight months whether you you'd be like wow that place is just you know what what a hell hole
00:35:03.220
what what a hell hole and we've become so we see it every day and you know it's it's it's slowly
00:35:10.640
grown and when things grow slowly you don't notice and then suddenly where the uk is locking up a
00:35:18.680
couple of thousand people for speech and yeah operation creep main you've got to maintain that
00:35:25.240
critical distance because if you get too desensitized you forget what that actually
00:35:30.920
implies and it implies so much shut up or you're going to prison that's the uk yeah i did see uh
00:35:39.800
so a data point a few months back saying that britain over the last handful of years year on
00:35:45.340
year has imprisoned more people over freedom of expression than russia yeah it doesn't surprise
00:35:53.780
me in this life yeah well i mean we're well you're not in britain but here yeah i have i watch i have
00:36:00.200
to watch of course very very carefully what i say and what i tweet all day every day there's loads
00:36:06.040
of things i would like to say loads of things i get a little bit of shade from people for not
00:36:13.760
I'm surprised I haven't had one already in fact
00:36:40.020
disappear uh you know as once the story's gone the the sort of the state's apparatus functioning
00:36:49.200
its ideological state apparatus functioning will carry on doing its job and a few of these people
00:36:54.740
will likely be locked up they'll they'll and once that happens and what it was for it will likely be
00:37:02.160
under some kind of racial thing you know if you've made the mistake of daring to have a
00:37:14.500
That message spreads to their friends and family
00:37:17.360
and everyone, like, that self-surveying increases
00:37:24.260
And what radical and profound change needs is volume.
00:37:36.680
You know what makes me think of, though, Chris,
00:37:37.900
in the Soviet Union certainly the post let's say at least the post-Soviet era and in lots of other
00:37:43.760
places in sort of 1980s China uh in in all sorts of countries towards the end of Ceausescu loads
00:37:50.680
loads of different places it gets to a point where the people en masse don't care anymore or rather
00:37:57.320
they're prepared to stand the hazards of the dire like a lot of these people they know that police
00:38:02.460
will have a camera there and face recognition and that they might get a knock may well get a knock
00:38:05.960
at the door and they don't care they don't care anymore there's something much more important to
00:38:10.640
them than that you know if when you hear when i mean i believe you've read sojournits and stuff
00:38:16.280
haven't you so um where they talk about what it means to live the life of a dissident really a
00:38:22.320
dissident risking court and imprisonment all the time again and again and again and again
00:38:26.880
because you're not because you're prepared to risk that and then and then you go underground i mean
00:38:35.940
to to organize anything you now you really have to go underground and uh i mean
00:38:43.740
how far away do you think the uk is from a a time like that where people are because it's a question
00:38:51.700
of sacrifice isn't it you've got your kids you've got your mortgage you've got all these things that
00:38:57.780
sort of take up your day in one way or the other you're either working to pay them or doing the
00:39:02.620
admin to maintain them at what point do enough people say it's it's you know i'm i'm i'm i'm
00:39:12.800
i'm playing my part in a society that's not worth maintaining i i i'd like to think that that was
00:39:24.620
quite close but we've said you know we've seen these little tussles going on for all my life
00:39:36.140
Well I mean talking about then the mood in the country
00:39:41.180
Because I've seen you've made a bit of content about Restore and Rupert
00:39:59.440
what he says is basic isn't it if you if you've come here illegally you've got to go
00:40:05.960
should be common sense complete centrist dad position a reasonable position right yeah
00:40:11.400
they're seen as these sort of insane far right you know like fascists yeah and it's just like no you
00:40:19.300
you're not you you haven't played by the rules you've actually broken our laws rather than give
00:40:26.400
you a house you should you should get a flight home you know i think pretty much every everything
00:40:33.340
he says i agree with the death penalty i'd have to have a a bit more thought about that um
00:40:42.720
if his plan of waking up people who haven't been politically politically engaged for years
00:40:56.860
I'm actually quite optimistic that he's going to have an impact
00:41:02.200
If he doesn't do that, then I think he's just going to...
00:41:11.700
You know, we're going to be in the same situation
00:41:13.820
as most of Western Europe and the way their voting system works
00:41:20.800
But, you know, I have seen some amazing interviews with people
00:41:26.040
Who've been on the ground, who are going out leafleting
00:41:37.340
Okay, one other thing that I wanted to get your take on
00:41:40.480
Because it's sort of one of the big questions of the day
00:41:47.820
I mean, this headline is the latest just in this news cycle
00:42:06.700
And he won't say no we'll never give up our right to enrich uranium
00:42:24.840
so I don't think I have a real clue what's going on
00:42:36.520
side you know that's not it's not the media's job
00:42:43.920
um you know it i i was very interested in trump's no new wars and then he and i understand that
00:42:55.500
sometimes that you you that can be tested because of situations but it's a regime change war you
00:43:03.920
know and that that's very that makes me suspicious as well um but in terms of like the persian war
00:43:40.780
story different sides of the story one day after the next almost as if their job is to just leave
00:43:50.180
me in this sort of hyper real confused dizzy hypnotized state where it's just this thing
00:43:59.200
that's happening there'll be an outcome at some point someone will have been declared the winner
00:44:05.780
and then it will just fade into history and be rewritten later by the victors
00:44:12.280
yeah i mean i'd like to give you more i know that sounds quite hollow but no it's not not at all
00:44:19.780
no no not at all no not at all i absolutely agree it's difficult to know what on earth to believe
00:44:25.340
where both sides really in a way you can't blame them it's as old as time both sides peddling
00:44:31.360
misinformation disinformation and propaganda both sides doing that constantly so it's it is
00:44:37.000
difficult isn't it and especially in the our world now of uh very very convincing fake footage and
00:44:43.020
stuff it's it is difficult to know that's a completely reasonable take sir completely
00:44:48.080
reasonable yeah yeah so so in short not a danny larue i mean that's an interesting page you've
00:44:58.440
got up there i mean i i read an article about four weeks ago bring that up harry so people can see
00:45:04.560
the price of oil sorry chris go on sorry mate harry you bring that page up so people see what
00:45:09.880
there you go sorry go on chris carry on it's still there it's an it's interesting because it's got
00:45:14.540
the stocks at the top and then it's all and then you you know you can click on more about the the
00:45:19.460
war and all that i read an article about four weeks ago and it was saying that tsmc is it or
00:45:27.240
TSMI, they're the big Taiwan semi conductor company that without them,
00:45:37.840
And it said that they tend to have about 12 days of energy stashed up.
00:45:46.200
And the article was essentially saying if this Straits of Hormuz
00:45:51.120
thing doesn't get sorted out, they'll be shutting up shop in 11 days.
00:45:56.400
now that didn't happen i mean the stock prices certainly don't reflect that the whole semiconductor
00:46:03.040
industry doesn't seem to reflect that i mean did someone just make that up no i i believe
00:46:10.560
from my understanding i believe that formosa i like to call taiwan formosa because i'm old school
00:46:14.880
i believe they rely massively on lng uh like natural gas and the vast majority of that come
00:46:22.640
from qatar and from the persian gulf and yeah their stockpiles of it strategic national stockpiles
00:46:27.780
were a couple of weeks or something but i believe it was something like it's so important to the
00:46:32.380
entire world that both america and china were prepared to help them out to make sure they don't
00:46:38.500
run out exactly because of the semiconductor industry you know like how america the berlin
00:46:42.540
airlift it's like well this is so strategically important we'll just send you millions and
00:46:48.100
millions and millions of can of barrels of this in order to make sure you don't collapse it's
00:46:53.060
sort of that sort of strategically important but you're quite right it's a worry isn't it
00:46:56.420
it's a massive massive worry um but there you go i mean you're quite right to put your finger on
00:47:02.660
sort of that stress point that there's sort of one massive company one massive corporation in
00:47:08.820
taiwan that makes the majority of semiconductors and things for computer chips and all various
00:47:15.000
stuff that i won't pretend to truly understand all of it but yeah that that's a massive choke
00:47:19.800
point for the whole world and isn't that isn't that a concern yeah and they said like at the
00:47:26.200
beginning of this war it could all implode very quickly and then it didn't sorry go ahead yeah
0.98
00:47:31.160
yeah and how and and of course we've had china flying around taiwan for years that that that
00:47:38.780
comes up in the news cycle every three months i've noticed that chinese bombers of jet fighters
00:47:46.140
have been circling taiwan you know and again i don't well i do mean to repeat myself you know
00:47:53.600
it's just signaling oh there's china china've got their eyes on taiwan and then they'll just
00:48:00.240
keep reminding you of that there's there's there's no actual story there's no actual uh if this
00:48:06.420
happens this might happen but there's gonna there's concern about this it's just be worried
00:48:11.160
add this to that sort of hypnotic kind of uh you know i don't know i you know i don't understand
00:48:19.200
anything anymore because it's beyond understanding and not because it has to be there's there's
00:48:25.580
definitely people who can write there's definitely journalists who can explain situations and
00:48:33.140
there's definitely people who could understand them they're just not being employed they've
00:48:38.080
been replaced full scale by propagandists who do a very different job and you know we're picking
00:48:46.260
through like the debris of of an information system that's long gone well you know we're
00:48:54.420
looking for crumbs and scraps of reality i know you don't like it when i go down this road but
00:49:29.600
and it's a real problem look at the internet the internet promised and was for a while you know
00:49:38.940
you were there i was there it the most amazing tool for communicate the spread of information
00:49:46.120
and communication it got flipped into the world's and history's most successful surveillance
00:50:23.120
Of course, it was subverted from day one, in fact, really.
00:50:28.160
But, okay, Chris, unfortunately, we're getting on for time here.
00:50:32.440
Can you let people know where they can see you?
00:50:48.460
which is slang for full-time professionally skint.
00:51:46.000
Okay, Chris, we'll have to let you go at that point,
00:51:51.240
okay there you go chris dangerfield great guy can't say fair enough an old buddy been far too
00:52:00.440
long since i last spoke to him far far far too long all right and i will try and organize that
00:52:04.540
chat with him about um about our history it's been quite a few years the last time i did something
00:52:09.240
like that was with josh big josh firm years ago three four years ago now so it's high time it's
00:52:15.920
time all right should we do our poll yesterday's poll because i was so engrossed with my chat with
00:52:20.640
charlie downs i totally forgot to give people the results of the of our poll yesterday and we asked
00:52:27.580
you yesterday uh would you like uh who would you like to see host breakfast with beau when beau's
00:52:34.380
on holiday we gave the options of dan luca big harry or someone else dan wins it the tubster
00:52:44.020
wins it he probably doesn't like being called that i don't think i've ever called him that before
00:52:46.960
the tubster dan tub has won quite easily on 48 percent there so i'll have a word with him he
00:52:53.340
might not want to do it he might just might not be prepared to do it but i'll have a word with
00:52:56.740
him that's what uh the glorious band the chosen few want i should try and give you what you would
00:53:01.020
like i'm a river to my people aren't i after all all right today's poll we had a poll today as well
00:53:07.520
didn't we? And what did we ask you guys? Nearly 2,000, just shy of 2,000 votes. Do you feel a pure
00:53:18.500
cold rage at the murder of Henry Novak? The eyes have it to the tune of 95%. It's rare to get that
00:53:28.900
much agreement. 2,000, just shy of 2,000 votes, 95% of you say you do feel a pure cold rage
00:53:39.440
at the murder of Henry Novak. Yeah. It would be weird not to, wouldn't it?
00:53:48.760
I wrote an article ages ago on Lotus Eaters about, I will look back in anger. I think
00:53:55.620
it was called i think it was just called look back in anger or something now don't tell me not to
00:53:59.760
look back in anger i think i will i think it would be weird almost monstrous not to now that's the
00:54:06.940
correct thing to do that's normal that's human to feel a rage at that there you go you nearly all
00:54:14.700
agree with me so i'm preaching to the choir there all right should we do it on this day in history
00:54:18.440
because it's already it's already nearly five to nine so let's have a quick look at on this day in
00:54:22.280
history shall we you guys like that bit i like that bit down through the centuries what happened
00:54:26.980
of note on this day on the 3rd of june all right on the 3rd of june in the year 1621 the dutch west
00:54:35.440
india company receives charter for the west indias which is the americans caribbean and west africa
00:54:40.380
so as i've said before a number of times people a lot of people know of like the east india company
00:54:44.280
the british the honorable british east india company in fact lots of countries had similar
00:54:52.040
similar like quasi-military trading companies the dutch west india company is one of the
00:54:59.160
one of the bigger ones okay on this day in 1929 chile and peru sign the treaty of lima finally
00:55:05.080
resolving their border dispute from the war of the pacific which is from 1879 to 83 chile keeps
00:55:12.120

Have we got global church history in at number 1
00:59:02.860
There's a couple of different ways of spelling that
00:59:26.480
He marched into Rome with like a cobbled together
00:59:29.680
if i memory serves couple together a group of gladiators and then his political enemy
00:59:39.040
magnetius there's a lot of maximins maxentius's max max there's lots of maxes in that period of
00:59:47.520
history i think it was magnetius uh just sent in his army and crushed him if memory serves
00:59:59.680
neptominus i can't even know i don't even know how to pronounce it there's more than one way
01:00:03.040
of spending anyway and the other factoid we've got um on this day in 1098 the first crusaders
01:00:11.440
took antioch but soon found themselves besieged um yeah that's one of my favorite bits it's among
01:00:18.000
my favorite bits of history it's certainly one of my favorite bits of the first crusade perhaps all
01:00:23.120
crusades is when uh the crusaders the franks the christians they took antioch on their way to
0.69
01:00:31.600
jerusalem and then were besieged in there by a giant muslim army and it looks like they were
0.90
01:00:38.240
going to get starved out and all killed to a man it was looking bad and then and then
1.00
01:01:13.340
sort of almost magically break out of their despair.
01:01:22.220
and took on a much, much larger Muslim army
0.99
01:01:55.160
And they looked like they were just going to get
01:01:57.660
Absolutely smashed and defeated and annihilated to a man
01:02:03.060
They went on to take Jerusalem the next year
0.99
01:02:38.660

01:02:47.380
yeah actually if memory serves we've got a similar beard it's sort of
01:02:52.740
not too bad but a bit uncle albert and it could be slightly better maintained but um

01:03:24.800
You say, restore Britain must win all elections
1.00
01:03:35.320
in certain circumstances when the conviction is 100 safe for certain crimes i'm of the opinion
0.99
01:03:42.480
that the death penalty is absolutely warranted like that actual rudy capatana fella
01:03:48.760
that warrants death in my opinion right fallen firebird says as a european i feel our timeline
01:03:59.460
really careened off a cliff after world war one yes i could talk or have in fact already talked
01:05:02.120
the rewriting of the map yeah the world war one changed everything in many ways even when i got
01:05:10.580

01:05:46.940
experiencing the ripples of world war one world war two was born out of world war one the cold
01:05:55.080
war was born out of world war ii world war one was the most seismic thing perhaps in all of human
01:06:03.360
history so yeah you feel like our timeline careened off a cliff after world war one yeah i agree
01:06:11.060
