00:00:37.440
you for joining me without you it really isn't a thing uh just let you know a couple of technical
00:00:41.360
hitches this morning it's possible the bow show wouldn't even happen this morning there's problems
00:00:46.240
with the pc yesterday one of the big main producer pcs out there i don't know anything about technical
00:00:51.600
things i'm quite a boomer when it comes to technical stuff but we've got it sorted but i haven't got
00:00:56.400
all my screens like normal i'm relying on my actual mobile phone for the time and things so i'll be
00:01:02.640
reading the super chats off of these big screens not not my little screen here stuff so a bit
00:01:07.360
different today okay that little bit of housekeeping side let's just jump straight into it what's going
00:01:12.240
on this morning works multiple iran as you can imagine i'll try and talk about a few other
00:01:16.000
stories that aren't iran where they crop crop up i'll tell you who wins most out of all this
00:01:23.360
andrew and mandy andy and mandy can you imagine in the andy and mandy camp they're like thanks mr
00:01:31.680
trump thanks bibby i owe you one got me off the hook i wouldn't shut up about it and now now no one
00:01:40.720
cares apparently well if you believe fleet street all right what is fleet street the front papers the
00:01:45.920
front pages of the papers what are they talking about right trump mocked starmer
00:01:51.680
trump talked in the oval yesterday the german chancellor was there and obviously no one really
00:01:58.160
cares and particularly american reporters don't really care what mertz has got to say about anything
00:02:02.000
really today so it's just a trump uh uh a chance to grill trump a bit and uh yeah he threw shade at
00:02:09.760
starmer it's quite funny said you cut off all trade with spain because spade uh spain on on board
00:02:18.240
i don't do that i wonder if he'll actually do that i doubt it he said he would
00:02:21.360
okay trump mocked starmer and middle east energy shock for markets again not really well we'll get
00:02:28.880
into actually i mean it's in asia some of the asian markets equity markets in asia some of them have
00:02:34.960
been quite hard hit now uh but as for the actual price of crude uh we'll talk about it more but
00:02:42.320
yeah not not so much they're exaggerating basically although you may find even quite quickly that it
00:02:48.400
actually does cost more to buy some petrol at the petrol station even though in britain i mean and even
00:02:54.320
though in britain we never really got hardly any crude certainly not refined petrol or anything from
00:03:00.560
iran not much anyway well global markets are all interlinked it is a complicated thing all right
00:03:09.760
let's have a look then the telegraph the daily telegraph starmer is no churchill all right let's
00:03:14.160
just jump straight into this so there's there's chancellor mertz they're the leader of germany
00:03:20.240
and trump and they had a little meeting there it's funny actually because uh the things that
00:03:25.280
trump was complaining about keir starmer for and spain just let you know spain are completely not
00:03:34.080
on board most countries one way or another are either entirely on board countries like new zealand
00:03:40.960
and australia are like completely on board loads of countries are on board like cheering israel and the
00:03:47.360
us on a lot of countries are sort of me a bit like britain and a few very few are just like no
00:03:54.880
i don't want anything to do that completely disagree with it well spain is one of those
00:03:59.200
of all places spain's the current government of spain anyway is um pacifist isn't the word but
00:04:06.160
they're just not they were one of the countries when trump was trying to get european countries to
00:04:10.800
increase their nato spending from two or three percent up to five percent spain was the one main
00:04:17.360
country really that just refused just said no you can put all the pressure on us you want mr trump
00:04:23.200
we're not spending any more money on nato how do you like us now and in this iran thing they're like
00:04:29.840
no you can't use our bases america doesn't need spanish air bases does it to fight a war in the
00:04:35.520
gulf region it doesn't need them at all nonetheless it annoyed the donald
00:04:42.880
anyway the point is is that all the things trump was moaning about for places like spain and great
00:04:48.240
britain mertz has actually got very very similar position and he just had to sort of sit there
00:04:54.240
quietly and trump every now and again turning to him saying oh but but germany's cool germany's great
00:04:59.440
this guy next to me is like way better than angela merkel used to be but the reality is his position is
00:05:06.480
quite similar or very similar in fact it was in the russian news let's just quickly have a look at the
00:05:11.440
russian news uh where is it uh one second here okay there in the russian news if i scroll down a bit
00:05:20.240
yeah look mertz doubts strikes on iran may bring about political change in tehran that's the same
00:05:25.680
position as as starma right but yet to just sort of sit there quietly while trump as a pop at starma when
00:05:34.640
he actually thinks the same thing apparently directly after that meter after the cameras off
00:05:41.280
in that meeting in the oval office apparently according to insider reports mertz said to trump
00:05:50.080
something along the lines of i'm paraphrasing of course but he's like chill out on starma like
00:05:54.160
he's not that bad it wasn't that bad like i'm sure mertz didn't say it in that tone and intonation
00:06:00.880
and with that that word choice but okay all right so u.s president attacked prime minister over
00:06:07.600
lack of support for iran war saying he ruins relationships yeah it wasn't like a full-blown
00:06:14.800
angry angry rant from trump but it was reasonably strong words considering we're supposed to be
00:06:22.960
the united states closest ally obviously we're not obviously that's israel isn't it
00:06:30.880
but you know historically the special relationship and all that sort of thing
00:06:36.320
what we did during the wars all right so trump said stuff like
00:06:42.080
what did he say he said this guy starma he's no churchill well yeah tell me about it
00:06:49.360
later even said this isn't the age of churchill yeah he said he he ruins relationships
00:06:54.480
he said he just said he's very disappointed you know i'm not happy with the uk um yeah those other
00:07:04.000
things again it's one of the main stories in the british print media but once again in the scheme of
00:07:11.040
global global politics the grand strategy of this war in the in the middle east doesn't really matter
00:07:20.400
does it especially seeing as trump has ultimately got his way but we are now letting them use chagos
00:07:26.080
and the base in cyprus which they don't need but he has got that out of us anyway as you see uk fast
00:07:35.760
jets are doing stuff we shot on uh the raf shot a iranian drone out of the sky in over in jordan
00:07:45.680
we'll probably see a clip of that later so trump got what he wanted ultimately that we are doing
00:07:58.000
the mainstream media suddenly seems to be really hawkish it's funny over the weekend and even on
00:08:04.240
monday they were like flapping around like a wild geese oh no oh no mr trump's doing something
00:08:11.040
net is doing stuff oh no oh no when is when's it gonna end now a couple days later it's like
00:08:17.520
starmer isn't going hard enough and strong enough on all of this make up your mind god
00:08:27.360
okay all right britain has been attacked and our aircraft carrier is stuck at home
00:08:34.800
okay so that's another thing that's in the british media at the moment
00:08:37.920
big story all day yesterday and this morning is the readiness of our navy the royal navy the once
00:08:45.760
global spanning master of the seas yeah that's that's a while ago that was that was a while ago
00:08:58.240
i think it's funny when some foreign people often americans we're always americans it could come from
00:09:02.960
anywhere they say oh brits need to come to terms with the fact that they're not like
00:09:08.240
hegemons of the world anymore they're not a great power anymore it's like yeah we know
00:09:13.200
yeah we know that's been the case since like 1948 or something yeah we're perfectly aware
00:09:21.200
don't worry about it we've got no delusions of grandeur
00:09:24.000
but okay still in the scheme of things the the royal navy is what is probably in the top 10 most
00:09:34.080
powerful navies in the world something like that because most countries haven't got anything to speak
00:09:38.160
of right most countries even quite big rich countries relatively big and rich countries have got hardly any
00:09:46.880
navy navy mostly but anyway we've got two aircraft carriers the prince of wales is sort of the main one
00:09:55.600
i think that's a picture of the prince of wales there we've got two aircraft carriers and the point
00:10:00.240
of having two aircraft carriers why do you need two why do you it's to do with contingency so that if one
00:10:05.840
is ever sunk heaven for fend if one is ever sunk or just damaged or it's just refitting because these
00:10:13.360
sorts of ships you need to refit them all the time clean them of barnacles and all sorts of stuff
00:10:21.840
that you have another one as a contingency so that any given time you've got an aircraft carrier ready
00:10:28.320
to rock and roll at any given moment that's the point of having two nuclear nuclear submarines which
00:10:34.880
you've also got so that at any given moment we've got one out there that's ready to fire trident missiles
00:10:40.720
and rain nukes on someone all right well both our aircraft carriers are in portsmouth
00:10:50.000
or is it plymouth anyway both of them are in um are in port being sort of refitted
00:10:57.600
well that's the whole point of having two air uh that's the whole point of having two is that that
00:11:03.760
isn't that that doesn't happen that that isn't the case it's cloud show isn't it really cloud show all
00:11:10.080
right um and a few people are saying well lots of people are saying defense analyst type people
00:11:15.280
are saying it's like we you sort of knew this was coming probably i mean even a normal person like
00:11:21.120
me was saying for weeks right it's in the mail america's moving aircraft carriers around they're
00:11:26.640
moving mid-air refueling aircraft around it's something's almost certainly going to happen and
00:11:31.360
you would hope that number 10 or the foreign office would actually have some inside information
00:11:38.720
if they weren't actually invited to the planning stage exactly they'd still have some sort of
00:11:42.800
inside skinny on what was going to go down and so maybe not have both the aircraft carriers just sitting
00:11:48.800
there or speed up the refitting of one of them as quickly as possible or something or at least move
00:11:54.880
some of the other royal navy ships we've got loads of other quite a few other ships at least move some
00:12:01.440
to the the region at least some to defend cyprus so there's sort of nothing there the last sort of
00:12:08.240
warship we had in the waters around cyprus was around christmas time or new year time new year's time
00:12:16.800
so now they've decided we'll see it in a bit they've decided they're going to move one destroyer
00:12:25.040
was it missile destroyer well the hms dragon it's called
00:12:31.280
it is like an anti-aircraft type ship but just one and it's not going to get there for like day a week or more
00:12:37.600
it's just a bit of a to be honest it's just a bit of a lame weak wristed response
00:12:48.960
from from the mod the british ministry of defense the equivalent of you know okay all right
00:12:58.080
uh was there any other smaller stories there um
00:13:01.520
um yeah students from four countries barred we'll talk about that in a moment that's one of the
00:13:07.600
non-iran stories that will come up okay the times the venerable times there's a picture of
00:13:12.720
tehran with explosions going off all over the shop yeah apparently the biggest waves of attacks from
00:13:31.040
suppose it makes a bit of sense yesterday i said as a strategy that didn't make sense what they're
00:13:35.440
waiting for reading a bit more and thinking about it a bit more i guess maybe what it is i think maybe
00:13:47.840
the only now of they basically taking out most of iran's air defenses you know like sam's surface
00:13:55.120
to air missiles so before now they couldn't fly loads and loads and loads of fast jets deep into
00:14:03.040
iranian airspace because the fear of them being taken out by missiles so you take out their their
00:14:09.360
missile capability they surface to air missile capability you take that with your missiles first
00:14:15.440
and some like stealth fast jets right but then once that's achieved and you've got complete air
00:14:25.120
superiority in the in the skies above persia then you can fly crazy amounts of fast jet sorties
00:14:32.960
and i suppose at that point the bombing will increase like the precision bombing on individual
00:14:39.840
buildings individual things will increase even more i guess that's why i guess that's what it is
00:14:47.360
or america might not and israel might not want to send fantastic amount of their most expensive missiles
00:14:54.960
that might get shot out of the sky by iranian anti-missile missiles they don't want to do that yet until
00:15:01.040
all the iranian anti-missile missiles are taken out and then so i guess it so i guess that's what it is
00:15:10.080
yeah expect expect uh even more heavy bombing in iran that's what they're saying you've got to take
00:15:17.600
them at their word i don't think i don't think they're bluffing are they
00:15:21.040
right hegseth doesn't really bluff doesn't need to does he all right pm is no churchill says trump as
00:15:33.120
tensions rise yeah significant fallout from the economy that's another thing to mention then this
00:15:38.720
morning that um yesterday was the the spring statement rachel reeves rachel thieves rachel from
00:15:45.680
accounts the silly woman that is somehow the chancellor of the exchequer made a a statement
00:15:51.040
about the economy the uk economy yesterday in parliament no one cares okay she's a joke
00:15:58.400
and her statement's like immediately out of date right anyone that really knows they're talking about
00:16:04.960
an economist or a trader a commodity trader or equities trader a bond trader anywhere in the world
00:16:10.960
you're not listening to what rachel reeves has got to say make sure you're saying oh in the future
00:16:14.960
next later this year or in two years time then inflation will be like this and gdp growth will
00:16:20.560
be like this everyone's like you don't know you we don't have any faith you know what you're talking
00:16:24.240
about and why are you saying this in the middle of a war where all the chips are in the air
00:16:33.600
like what you're talking about rachel is immediately out of date
00:16:46.480
real economists and traders we're not sitting there on tenterhooks waiting for what what rachel
00:16:53.920
reeves is going to say and then start making trades and working out analysis off the back of what she says
00:17:16.400
uk to hit historic uh high tax burden well yeah i mean that's real that's true
00:17:26.640
well that's socialism for you that's leftist economic theory just tax them
00:17:37.360
centralize the economy as much as humanly possible and tax the kulaks until the pips go squeak
00:17:51.600
okay war spreads across the middle east as trump rages at stormy us president personal dislike of pm grows
00:17:58.720
this is not winston churchill quote this is not winston churchill we're dealing with
00:18:03.680
again yeah tell me about it he's super weak he's so weak
00:18:19.200
okay i'll just read the blurb a bit because it sort of says it all
00:18:23.520
uk scrambles warship to cyprus i don't know if it's about scramble they're taking their time don't they
00:18:30.240
anyway uk scrambles warship to cyprus four days after conflict begins
00:18:34.960
it's sort of an afterthought isn't it it's sort of a a token afterthought
00:18:40.400
following iran attack on raf base and political outcry
00:18:43.920
pm under pressure from white house and gulf states over his response so far
00:18:50.960
again if i was kirsten i just wouldn't bow to any of that pressure
00:18:56.800
you know like dubai is annoyed we didn't move a ship quick enough to cyprus it's like
00:19:01.680
go away shut up don't worry about it you worry about you
00:19:08.720
okay petrol prices petrol prices set to climb within weeks and uk energy bills may jump by 800 pounds a
00:19:20.960
and we don't get our energy from there largely almost entirely we buy most of that sort of thing
00:19:28.160
from the united states or from places in north africa and we got a bit of north sea oil and stuff don't
00:19:36.640
we and if britain doesn't buy natural gas or crude much from iran iraq kuwait qatar not really
00:19:50.480
shouldn't really affect us too much but there you go still
00:19:52.320
as i said earlier there are global markets so it does still affect
00:19:58.480
it is still affect but now energy bills go up even more they're supposed to be going down well they
00:20:03.040
will be going down in the next couple of months because the government put in some
00:20:08.400
some sort of hard stops on it so if you're a brit watching this hopefully your energy bill will go down
00:20:14.880
to the tune of 100 pounds maybe a bit more over the next couple of months but then over the midterm
00:20:23.040
over the next six months or one year it may go way up beyond where it was where it is now so all right
00:20:32.720
airstrike on building being used by top clerics to choose next supreme leader yeah that was
00:20:37.760
interesting where obviously the ayatollah is dead he was martyred
00:20:45.280
um they had to pick a new one they put together a little committee
00:20:50.640
a little sort of working group whatever you'd call it to pick the new one and then it'll go to
00:20:57.200
sort of a larger body a sort of a larger it's nothing like a parliament or congress or anything but
00:21:02.560
just a larger body of the mullahs religious leaders clerics i don't particularly like that
00:21:08.480
word cleric but all right whatever larger body to sort of formally stamp it and pick the next ayatollah
00:21:15.280
well uh the building that was being held in they knew that was being held in that got smashed
00:21:19.440
by the israelis or the us one or the other yeah it does seem like the united states and the israelis
00:21:26.080
are not mucking about it's not like a half measure is it it's like they're going all out to they're going
00:21:32.160
all out all right like like you like the iranian regime think it can still sort of carry on much as
00:21:43.600
before no you have to go underground you have to do all this stuff in underground bunkers and things
00:21:53.280
like you're in the blitz if they can get you they'll get you it seems like doesn't it
00:22:02.560
all right uh lebanon dragged into war with israel that's the other big thing so israel is invading
00:22:09.920
lebanon right now southern lebanon some reports i saw yesterday saying that um the israeli army wants
00:22:17.600
to go downtown anyone who doesn't know that means going all the way to beirut sending their army all
00:22:24.000
the way to beirut israel have quote unquote invaded lebanon at least southern lebanon loads of times
00:22:30.960
loads and loads of times well quite a few times anyway it's not that new even in the last couple
00:22:35.600
of years they'll do incursions into lebanese territory it's not unheard of not even close to
00:22:42.160
being unheard of before now in the past in the last few decades they've gone all the idf divisions have
00:22:48.800
gone all the way to beirut more than once i think so the idea that in the middle of all of this
00:22:54.800
bibi's gonna send his army all the way to beirut yeah looks like he's gonna do that yeah just one
00:23:02.160
more front in this now quite big war probably the white in fact it's the widest biggest war in the
00:23:07.520
middle east in my lifetime easily now because even the second gulf war in 2003 it was confined largely
00:23:19.120
to the deserts of mesopotamia iraq it didn't turn into a whole region wide war did it so this is probably
00:23:29.920
the biggest conflagration in the middle east in modern times basically i would have thought
00:23:36.720
well i mean in the in the 21st century at least let's say that not in modern times because that
00:23:42.960
would include like world or one world or two i don't mean that obviously okay all right yeah
00:23:48.880
israel going into lebanon i think they want to take out i think neti wants to annihilate hezbollah once and
00:23:55.120
for all i mean can't really blame him from his point of view from his point of view
00:24:07.120
they try and kill israeli people all the time so i mean just imagine an equivalent in your country
00:24:15.760
you would want to try and wipe them out if you could right to end them i suppose all right so
00:24:21.920
france sends major naval deployment to eastern med including aircraft carrier yeah the french have
00:24:28.240
got an aircraft carrier and they're sending it to the eastern mediterranean right off just off the
00:24:34.240
coast of israel and lebanon there near cyprus in a way and the idea that they're getting there before we
00:24:39.920
are tiny bit embarrassing okay israel launches new attacks on tehran and hezbollah as u.s tells americans
00:24:50.560
to leave middle east and closes embassies it's not going to be over anytime soon do not be surprised
00:24:57.760
if it's still going on beyond five weeks from now okay the daily mail pure slop trying to pretend it's
00:25:04.080
not pure slop but you scratch the surface and it is pure slop all right there's the there's our aircraft
00:25:11.120
carrier or one of them the prince of wales completely not ready it's been stripped down
00:25:17.680
completely stripped down that would take weeks months before that's ready
00:25:24.560
a prime minister who trump mocks as no churchill and a navy fleet stranded in port it's not exactly
00:25:31.600
stranded it was scheduled work but nonetheless nonetheless take the point starmer takes the great
00:25:38.960
out of britain yeah again tell me about it nearly everything he does makes us less great makes us
00:25:49.360
weaker undermines us pretty much everything he does really not even including any of this i mean
00:25:57.680
right okay all the papers are suddenly hawkish about it suddenly he hasn't done enough quick enough
00:26:02.880
on monday it was like not not this at all particularly on sunday and monday
00:26:16.880
i mean don't look at who owns these papers and who they are and where their ultimate loyalties might lie
00:26:23.600
they got the call from the nathaniel rothschild everyone be hawkish now
00:26:37.040
all right the mirror uk warship to middle east enter the dragon
00:26:44.560
classic bruce lee film enter the dragon if anyone doesn't know you've seen enter the dragon harry
00:26:48.640
oh i haven't no okay don't worry about it i just feel like there's a lot of things references in um
00:26:58.480
cultural references in the world if you're very young like harry harry's only 20 years old
00:27:04.160
you just wouldn't get i mean enter the dragon it's like from the 70s it's like 50 years old film
00:27:09.600
nearly 40 50 years old okay but enter the dragon okay there is hms dragon look he's got a dragon painted
00:27:22.480
on it that looks a bit like the welsh dragon doesn't it maybe it is it must be it is okay this one warship
00:27:31.520
not even that big of a one not that powerful it is for like taking out um missiles and drones though
00:27:37.520
that is what it is uh we're sending that one ship to defend all of cyprus or help defend it
00:27:47.200
the airbase should be able to defend itself but there you go that's being done it's a complete token
00:27:50.960
gesture isn't it government says deployment is defensive but fears grow over terror attack at home
00:27:59.200
pm stands up to trump abuse as scramble on to evacuate uh stranded britons yeah so there's still
00:28:06.000
loads of people quite quite stranded in like dubai mainly but a few other places right there'll be
00:28:12.400
some in qatar and bahrain or kuwait or whatever right the sun wants to tell you something about
00:28:19.360
jordan about katie don't care pure slop ship happens i said ship ship happens that's actually mildly funny
00:28:29.680
to me i always take the mickey don't i i always take the always cast shade at the sun's puns that's not
00:28:36.560
a bad one it's pretty simplistic but ship happens okay that's all right i'll give you that one that
00:28:43.440
made me smile when i first saw that one this morning as trump blasts keir as no churchill pm sends one
00:28:50.000
destroyer to defend raf base yeah enter the dragon ship happens
00:28:59.040
all right the financial times mid-east energy energy shock batters markets again not really
00:29:06.240
well okay in the in the far east places like south korea
00:29:12.720
like for example the thailand stock exchange had to close early because it was getting so battered
00:29:22.480
but again does the thire stock exchange really matter all that much if you're not tired
00:29:33.280
do you care about that does it matter ultimately
00:29:36.320
like if you if you don't hold shares in south korean energy companies that have done really badly
00:29:52.240
what's it matter all right all right the point is is that a lot of asian markets equities even bonds
00:29:58.960
have tumbled quite a lot you know like the south korean stock exchange like lost i can't remember the
00:30:08.640
exact numbers but it's something in the ballpark of lost four or five or six percent in one day
00:30:12.960
yesterday and since this started has lost something like 12 so pretty disastrous i suppose reasonably
00:30:18.880
disastrous but not again not sort of end of times disastrous not sort of oh oh and the other thing
00:30:24.880
to say is that all these markets were all-time highs they were overvalued anyway japan south korea
00:30:31.280
places like that their stock markets were sort of almost if not all-time highs so inflated overvalued
00:30:37.840
as it was so some sort of market correction was going to be in the mail anyway
00:30:44.560
and as for as for oil again don't buy the hype that it's been spying it hasn't like yesterday
00:30:53.520
on average because all sorts of crude from all different places in the world are priced differently
00:30:58.080
but on average the price of a barrel of crude at some point nearly touched 85 a barrel and then came
00:31:05.120
down a bit again no biggie no massive biggie before this thing started the price of a barrel was just shy
00:31:13.120
of 80 dollars so it hasn't it's been a bit volatile a bit up and down within that within that window
00:31:20.480
but it hasn't just spiked to like 100 120 suddenly or anything like that no lng as well or natural gas
00:31:29.280
again same sort of thing uh well worse but not as bad so before this thing started again i can't
00:31:38.240
remember the exact numbers but it will be in this ballpark it was like um i think something like
00:31:44.000
a spike 60 or 70 cents and it's gone up to now something in the ballpark of a dollar 40 or a buck
00:31:52.640
50. right so you could call that a spike and it did that very quickly okay we can call that spike
00:31:59.600
is it disastrous or anything no if you go back to only just 2022 or something it was at like seven or
00:32:12.080
so you can talk to me all about the terrible spike in numbers and energy's gone through the roof it
00:32:25.120
just put it in perspective but the financial time says
00:32:30.560
war-fueled equities route spreads to sovereign bonds yeah a little bit in some places in asia
00:32:42.080
well see oh by the way i'm saying all this it's not to say that there won't it might not cause
00:32:47.440
ultimately some sort of giant market crash or something if i'm just saying right now it isn't
00:32:55.680
okay iraq to halt oil production as iran threatens key route
00:33:03.840
yeah it looks like iran's strategy is isn't it to
00:33:07.440
screw with the energy production infrastructure of all the countries it can that are in range of its missiles
00:33:19.600
it's a bit of an all on that well they are under threat of being completely annihilated
00:33:23.600
the regime so i guess it's like the last flailing last ditch attempt it seems really to me it seems
00:33:40.080
i was talking to faraz about the other day and i said it feels i said how does this make sense how is
00:33:44.000
any of this in iran's ultimate interest it doesn't make sense and he just said it makes sense to them
00:33:51.360
right it's matt looking in on it from the outside it looks mad iran's strategy of doing that
00:33:58.000
it looks like surely counterproductive so you're making bitter enemies of everyone around you now
00:34:04.560
and they will just side with israel and iran now how does that make sense and he just says it makes
00:34:15.200
i said it feels like someone has been jilted by a beautiful woman so they throw acid in her face
00:34:21.920
like you rejected me so i'll make sure everyone rejects you forever just pure vindictive bitterness
00:34:36.080
nothing more than that it seems to me i mean maybe it will work for them maybe iran's strategy of trying
00:34:43.280
to destroy all their neighbors energy infrastructure will work for them ultimately i don't think it will
00:34:49.120
especially if the united states and israel have got the political will to see it through to the end
00:34:57.360
whatever that means which it seems like they have it seems like the donald and netty are prepared to
00:35:06.320
see it through come what may doesn't it it feels like that it seems like that okay because that's the
00:35:12.640
thing when anyone fights the united states anyone they're like we just need to hold out long enough
00:35:16.720
until there's enough us casualties and uh in america the the sentiment at home will be such that the
00:35:23.120
the president or the congress or whoever will be forced to stop it's like yeah that doesn't that's
00:35:27.680
hardly ever worked like in vietnam 10 years of vietnam eventually
00:35:34.880
50 000 combat deaths 60 000 combat deaths and then presidents start getting cold feet and like the
00:35:42.880
general population of the general population of the united states start constantly rallying against the
00:35:46.720
war but it will take something like that like five or six deaths nothing a few hundred even a few thousand
00:35:55.040
deaths for us service people that doesn't make the united states get cold feet and just stop usually does it
00:36:10.720
so if iran's strategy is hopefully we'll take out a few us service people and then trump will bottle it
00:36:19.840
and stop and stop i don't think so i don't see that okay in fact trump the other day trump was asked about
00:36:28.320
that i said some reporter said um some people are worried even really really anti-regime people in iran
00:36:37.360
saying they're worried that you'll just get bored or something you'll get bored of it and and you just
00:36:44.720
you'll just stop and leave it you won't have the the longevity you won't have the will to keep going
00:36:50.880
and he just he just completely brushed that aside he said i don't get bored i won't get bored don't worry about it
00:36:58.640
all right u.s closes embassies after strikes escalate across the region
00:37:04.320
israel launches new wave of attacks on tehran assets right okay okay
00:37:12.560
the guardian us and israel intensify iran attacks as conflict widens there we go
00:37:22.000
too late for talks says trump has reports as reports claim death toll close to 800 in iran
00:37:30.560
um yeah people asked about the talks remember remember kushner and whitkoff talking with the iranians in
00:37:39.520
geneva with the omanis supposed to be overseeing that uh what trump just said was said before
00:37:47.840
already but he reiterated that those talks were nonsense iran never as far as trump was concerned
00:37:54.640
trump's calculation was iran were never serious in those talks i'm never serious about it it was
00:38:00.480
going to go nowhere that's all iran has done for decades is say they're going to talk just keep
00:38:06.880
talking agree to things and then not even do the things you know like that deal obama did
00:38:12.880
we'll spend years coming to an agreement finally make an agreement and then not actually do the
00:38:17.040
thing anyway just keep talking and talking and talking and they just trump had had enough obviously
00:38:26.560
had decided they were just the whole thing was a sham which is interesting because the iranians
00:38:31.280
accused the americans of doing that oh you attacked us in the middle of of peace talks
00:38:37.600
it was all the sham you only put both sides say that the other side use peace talks as uh as a sham
00:38:46.000
and aren't serious about peace talks both sides accuse the other of that well
00:38:54.400
well okay here's what it is trump says starman no churchill all right yeah uh limetra oh my god
00:39:06.880
okay the metro grows school tragedy fear as conflict grows trump too late to talk
00:39:20.160
because other people said oh trump might sit down and and do peace with the iranians and that will
00:39:26.160
scupper everything and and he just said no it came out the other day yesterday saying no no no there's no
00:39:31.600
no no there's no more time for talks that ship has sailed we've done that we've tried that no we're
00:39:37.840
going full bore okay this is a story of anyone that watches the news will know i haven't really
00:39:42.400
talked about it on the bow show yet have i that right at the very beginning on saturday morning in
00:39:47.760
fact there was reports that some sort of missile or some sort of strike hit a school a girl's school
00:39:56.320
apparently kids go to school on saturdays in iran who knew but okay apparently there was this school
00:40:03.920
little girl's school and it got hit and loads of loads of the kids and teachers were killed
00:40:09.120
apparently like 150 160 odd mostly kids were killed in that apparently
00:40:18.000
and um right in the south of iran apparently right near or right next to some sort of naval base but
00:40:25.680
whatever um okay now iran and this is their mass funeral now there's like a massive there's
00:40:34.160
loads and loads of coffins on that lorry for little kids apparently the thing is about this
00:40:41.440
of course the iranians accused israel of doing that and israel said we weren't we weren't firing
00:40:49.440
anything near there maybe it was the americans and americans like no we weren't firing anything near
00:40:55.360
there either and as if we at least the americans would do that we would like rubio said we wouldn't
00:41:01.120
dream of deliberately targeting a girl little girl's school why would we i mean it's always
00:41:07.680
possible that something goes wrong something goes awry or they just did do it and they're lying about
00:41:12.480
it anyway as it stands both israel and the united states are both saying look we just simply didn't
00:41:18.400
do it whatever happened there it wasn't us that's what they're saying whether you can believe it or not
00:41:24.080
one or two reports i've seen saying that it was an iranian thing that went wrong somehow
00:41:34.560
and and but now they're using it as a political tool to say look how evil israel and the united states
00:41:41.600
are i mean whatever it is whatever happened there i don't know it's not clear both sides are claiming
00:41:47.680
the other one did it and i don't know if we'll ever know if we'll find out exactly i hope we do one
00:41:54.800
way or another what happened there um but okay that's a big thing relatively big thing right it's
00:42:03.600
the single biggest mass casualty event of the war so far that's a bit odd to me it happened
00:42:10.560
right at the beginning on saturday morning you know if it were to be uh
00:42:19.760
an iranian false flag type thing they did it sort of immediately the timing of it is a
00:42:24.720
little bit suspicious but i don't know i i don't i wouldn't take israel or the pentagon at their word
00:42:32.080
on anything i'm not you know that why would you they're capable of lying about almost anything
00:42:41.440
but but though having said that it it doesn't seem likely that i don't know it's an odd it's an odd
00:42:50.160
thing this girl's school that was hit the arguments that israel and the united states are using to say
00:42:58.320
it wasn't us are plausible i guess that's what i'm trying to say i wouldn't take them at their
00:43:03.120
word but their argument is plausible at least all right okay trump says everything is knocked out
00:43:14.080
in iran everything's knocked out and like their air defenses something and he boasts that the war on
00:43:19.840
iran sparks a bitter new rift with britain okay okay the star panic at the pumps i mean not really but
00:43:31.680
maybe middle east crisis panic at the pumps four courts chaos as war sees fuel prices surge they
00:43:38.800
haven't really surged exactly i think they have gone up at the at the pump but not massively i always
00:43:44.320
find it really disappointing in the human character when there's a tiniest little panic about something
00:43:50.640
and really really selfish people just either go to uh petrol garages and fill up take loads of jerry
00:43:59.440
cans and fill them up or do you remember in the covid thing some people would go to um
00:44:08.240
go to grocery stores go to like tesco's or sainsbury's and buy all the toilet paper
00:44:13.520
so there's a tiny fear the tiniest of fears that there might be a shortage of toilet paper or there'll
00:44:21.440
be a break in the uh chain of of um getting more in so they just buy it all how selfish could you get
00:44:30.160
it's so selfish isn't it i remember it in 2003 was it 2003 or was it even after 9 11 similar things
00:44:38.960
happen i remember that quite clearly people queuing the roads leading to petrol stations just completely
00:44:46.480
blocked with cars queuing to go into a petrol station to fill up and fill up their little jerry cans
00:44:52.080
because like something like the sun or the star will say oh there's panic people are panic buying
00:45:01.600
and so that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy people that read that idiots
00:45:05.680
selfish idiots that see that and read that like oh well i don't want to run out of petrol
00:45:16.080
panic at the pumps all right if you say so the star if you say so sure all right the express the
00:45:22.240
daily express oh it's a good paper one million more will pay tax on state pensions
00:45:29.760
and running our economy into the ground running our economy integrate all right those are the papers
00:45:35.360
uh did oh did we harry did we have a uh a poll this morning i'm not we didn't we failed to have a poll
00:45:44.160
sorry sorry about that people waiting for a poll um yeah it was a bit there's some technical issues
00:45:52.560
this morning all sorts of technical issues two or three different ones basically so me and harry didn't
00:45:56.880
have time to just sort of set up a poll apologies try and do it most days but today we've failed
00:46:04.000
all right all right let's have a look at the newspapers then oh it's already nearly caught
00:46:08.800
two okay what have we got strikes across middle east continues you take as uk charters evacuation
00:46:17.040
flights for british nationals in oman if you can get down to the to oman you might be able to get a
00:46:23.840
flight out um all right so here's the thing here's a story that's not about iran mahmoud
00:46:32.240
the home secretary to stop study visas from four countries due to abuse it's a bit late isn't it we've
00:46:41.840
already been invaded by hundreds of thousands of foreign barbarians but okay i mean i'll take it
00:46:49.520
but it's a bit late isn't it it's like closing the gate half a foot more but still leaving it open
00:46:56.480
after the horses have bolted thanks the story is from um afghanistan cameroon mayanmar burma and the
00:47:08.320
sudan if you came over on a student visa apparently loads of people from that particularly those four
00:47:16.000
countries they come over on a student visa and then when they're here say actually i'm not just a
00:47:22.720
student i'm a refugee and i need to claim permanent residence here i need i'm actually claiming asylum
00:47:36.560
from burma but now from the sudan but now i'm a refugee and i've got to be able to stay and even
00:47:45.520
the labour home secretary is like that's it's being abused the system is being heavily abused
00:47:51.520
the government is clamping down on visa abuse so the uk can maintain its ability
00:47:55.760
and proud tradition of helping those genuinely in need
00:48:02.240
more more safe and legal routes right yeah so just loads and loads of people
00:48:08.720
from that particularly those countries absolutely take the mickey out of our student visa scheme
00:48:15.440
student visa scheme that olukemi and badenoch gloated about widening a few years ago
00:48:30.480
all right there was a thing there was something on the mail i thought was interesting
00:48:36.720
marked for death israel vows to assassinate iran's new leader yeah
00:48:40.160
yeah yeah dubai under assault again here's a picture of dubai andrew tate says nothing's going on
00:48:47.920
there you don't understand reality properly if you think there is call him in two days time
00:48:54.000
it's been two days all right uh cia station hit by tehran's new leader
00:48:59.520
komeini's son reigns wait a minute cia station hit as tehran's new leader komeini's son
00:49:09.920
oh it's his son okay reigns missiles and drones on middle east it's actually
00:49:15.840
ali komeini's son i did hear tell immediately on saturday immediately after the assassination that
00:49:24.240
people started banding names around right away who might be the next one i did hear that his name i did
00:49:29.120
hear his name come up but most people analysts at the weekend anyway said yeah he's in the running
00:49:34.960
he could well be in the running but probably won't be him well it is then okay but he's already marked
00:49:46.720
yeah this i thought was mildly interesting who hates who in the middle east as a former british
00:49:51.920
nato commander warns we are on the brink of world war three not really world war three
00:49:56.080
i feel like unless nuclear powers go at each other and there's an exchange of
00:50:08.720
okay the definitive guide to who is backing trump and who is on the side of the mullahs
00:50:14.720
this was just quite interesting i didn't even agree with a lot of the things like saying
00:50:19.040
turkey and in iraq are on some way pro-iran um and there might be more pro-iran than saudi arabia
00:50:30.240
but i wouldn't call them exactly pro-iran i mean iraq by dint of being infiltrated and subverted by iran
00:50:39.200
over the last 20 years 15 years okay but anyway anyway it's interesting nonetheless if you don't know much
00:50:46.240
about the region that was mildly interesting thing okay um yeah world war three russia have said a
00:50:53.360
number of times they're not going to get involved they're not going to get involved they're not going
00:50:57.440
to try and stop israel and iran and and the united states from doing what they're going to do china
00:51:04.000
even less so i mean let's have a quick look just jump ahead quickly to the chinese news agency nothing
00:51:09.440
nothing nothing it's wednesday i've looked on the last couple on tuesday and monday as well
00:51:16.080
nothing they're not talking about it at all eventually if you scroll down
00:51:23.600
eventually a sweet little chinese kid everything's brilliant in china we're the best and everything's
00:51:28.560
brilliant eventually there's something about iran what you need to know about the repercussions
00:51:34.800
but the main the main news in china and and yesterday and monday just nothing just still
00:51:40.960
talking about how brilliant zhi is it's zhi time zhi economics we're brilliant everything's going on
00:51:48.320
is brilliant all out everything we do and touch is gold the chinese nothing about iran they won't they
00:51:58.160
won't help iran you won't see chinese fast jets in dog fights with f-35s above the skies of persia
00:52:10.880
they're on their own iran are on their own they've isolated themselves massively over the since 1979
00:52:17.120
basically all right andrew finally a little bit of andrew creeping back into the news
00:52:23.040
finally okay where was it where we saw the bits of footage of uh there's one bit of footage where it
00:52:33.920
shows the uh raf shooting a drone out of the sky i think it might be on the mail it was the mail or
00:52:43.840
the express i thought i saw it oh there it is look watch that that's an iranian drone bang
00:52:50.080
the drone's going like 120 150 mile an hour and we shoot a supersonic missile at it i mean the missile
00:52:59.920
we fired at it this is above the skies of jordan boom um the missile we shot it cost like 10 times the
00:53:08.560
amount that thing cost there you go the fear that iran it might still happen but the fear that iran has
00:53:19.680
got like could send thousands of drones at a time in weight mass waves that will get through any air
00:53:29.200
defense it just hasn't materialized yet has it could still happen like the uss abraham lincoln that's
00:53:37.360
sitting somewhere in the gulf of oman well it hasn't been hit by a hypersonic mac5 medium-range
00:53:46.320
ballistic missile it hasn't happened yet has it or that they would send hundreds or they'd send
00:53:52.560
2 000 of those drones the ones we just saw the ones that go 150 mile an hour and an aircraft carrier has
00:54:00.480
got loads and loads of defenses against that loads and loads of different things
00:54:07.120
all sorts of different measures to prevent something like that getting through but if you
00:54:11.920
sent a thousand at a time or two thousand of them some would get through despite the closing weapon
00:54:18.000
systems despite those giant phalanx guns despite all the anti-missile missiles despite the re the
00:54:23.760
various rings of defense around an aircraft carrier if you send enough of those drones even the slow ones
00:54:29.760
some would get through well it hasn't happened yet has it all right iran just wait biding their time
00:54:35.360
waiting for that to happen or was it always a bit of a fiction iran just lying about their capabilities
00:54:43.040
i thought they were going to unleash hell on the uss abraham lincoln
00:54:56.000
most people on twitter over the previous months when occasionally i'll talk about these sorts of
00:54:59.280
things like how powerful an aircraft carrier group is they'll say things like yeah yeah right they're a
00:55:04.160
thing of the past they're so um they're so fragile and so uh open to attack iran will be able to sink
00:55:11.600
it easily or something it's like yeah no i don't don't think so i mean i might be proven wrong well
00:55:17.680
everything i've just said there that take in a day or two or in a week or two might prove to be terribly
00:55:23.040
misguided the abraham lincoln is now at the bottom of the gulf of oman i doubt it i doubt it
00:55:29.040
maybe that if iran are going to do something like that and mass waves of drones or multiple hypersonic
00:55:42.560
precision guided missiles i'm not seeing it yet all right all right well we're nearly top of the hour
00:55:53.040
already all right shall we have a look on this day in history just a quick five minutes quick five
00:55:58.720
minutes of that what have we got okay on this day the fourth of march throughout the centuries what
00:56:03.920
went down okay on this day in 1238 the battle of the sit river mongol forces not mogul mongol forces
00:56:13.280
of batu khan overcome russians under yuri the second ending russian resistance so batu khan one of my
00:56:20.800
favorites one of my absolute favorites one of my absolute favorites he was the son of jochi the house
00:56:26.240
of jochi he was one of genghis khan's sons so batu khan is one of genghis's genghis khan's grandsons
00:56:36.800
and he was just a total total badass invades russia successfully from the east very very few people have
00:56:46.160
sort of invaded russia and won it's one of the classic blunders isn't it starting a land war in asia
00:57:04.480
the history of the mongols is absolutely incredible the generation of three
00:57:09.680
started with genghis khan and ending with his grandchildren basically or kubali khan and stuff
00:57:14.320
absolutely fascinating look into it i've learned to do all sorts of long-form content about it
00:57:18.640
in the past over the last five years i haven't yet but i will do i will do incredible story bet
00:57:24.160
batu khan is one of the all-time greats all right on this day it's often been an inauguration day
00:57:30.000
throughout history the fourth so on this day in 1801 thomas jefferson is the first u.s president to be
00:57:37.120
inaugurated in washington dc because washington dc was built out of nothing built out of swamps
00:57:44.000
there was no city there at all the united states decided they were going to build a new city from
00:57:48.640
scratch really john adams was the first president to even move into the white house when it wasn't
00:57:55.040
even quite finished thomas jefferson was the first one to actually be inaugurated in dc all right on
00:58:01.520
this day in 1861 abraham lincoln is inaugurated as for the first time you know um as the 16th president
00:58:08.480
um in 1902 american automobile association is founded in chicago not as interesting on this day
00:58:15.520
1933 franklin d roosevelt is inaugurated again for the first time as the 32nd president pledges to pull
00:58:23.760
the us out of the depression stating in his inaugural address that the only thing we have to fear is
00:58:30.560
fear itself yeah classic classic line isn't it famous famous words
00:58:41.760
yeah there's no need to be worried too much it's a classic thing isn't it of um confidence
00:58:48.880
not just an individual level but on a national level
00:58:54.000
okay on this day in 2009 international criminal court issues an arrest warrant for sudanese president
00:59:00.000
omar al bashir for war crimes and crimes against humanity in darfur becoming the first city sitting
00:59:06.400
head of state to be indicted yeah if you believe those indictments he's a psycho all right should
00:59:14.480
we have a look at the oh we weren't even okay there's no rumble rents because we weren't even on
00:59:20.080
rumble today we had some technical issues as i keep saying so there's no rumble rents now and we've got
00:59:25.280
um oh is that today's poll yeah okay okay so my screen down here isn't working so i have to read it
00:59:35.840
off the big screens and we did do a poll only nine minutes ago but harry put will there be world war
00:59:43.680
three and your options was yes bring on the nukes or no nothing ever happens and no nothing ever happens
00:59:52.000
is winning by 81 and 19 with just over 500 votes oh sorry the question was will this be world war
01:00:02.160
three and i i said no it's not world war three is it i mean i think that nothing ever happens
01:00:08.320
paradigm is nonsense but this isn't world war three can can we have something between
01:00:14.800
it's world war three and nothing ever happens anyway if your options were simply yes or no i'd
01:00:21.920
say no and as the votes are ticking in 81 of you agree with that so cool all right all right so we
01:00:29.440
weren't even on rumble today unfortunately we will be going forward again but today we weren't so it's
01:00:34.560
only youtube so it's only the youtube super chats today so i'll quickly read through these what have we
01:00:41.280
got global church history says today in 1665 charles ii declares second anglo-dutch war all right
01:00:51.760
interesting on epochs i've got long form content all about the three anglo-dutch wars or is it four
01:01:03.360
god it's been two or three years since i did that bit of content it is in good detail there's at least
01:01:08.320
three at least three the first ones were under oliver cromwell weren't they there's a real ding-dong
01:01:16.240
back and forth sometimes we'd beat them sometimes they'd beat us one time the dutch navy sailed up the
01:01:21.360
thames and destroyed dettford was it catford or dettford there was a big our main ship building yard
01:01:30.000
they sailed up the thames and destroyed it cheeky that's well cheeky we do that to you you don't do
01:01:39.600
that to us sometimes we'd win sometimes they'd win it was it's an interesting cool war okay set of wars
01:01:46.800
wars okay dem tatis says hiabo what do you think about the advance uk found joining restore what do you
01:02:01.360
think about the advance uk found joining restore do you think that the king should just dissolve parliament
01:02:08.400
to do it himself our king charles the third has not got any hasn't got the backbone to do anything like
01:02:20.560
he's a silly old sausage fingered nothing of a man king charles
01:02:29.040
friends with jimmy savile type person he's not going to dissolve anything
01:02:34.240
okay and what do i think of uh advanced uk found joining restore i just think advanced uk should
01:02:42.800
is is a failed project it's worth about 150 votes
01:02:48.000
so it's failed it's it's effectively dead or was stillborn really
01:02:58.960
and habib is not the guy so i think it should just if that's what you're saying
01:03:02.320
that should about it joining restore it should just join restore
01:03:12.480
that result and i like nick buckley the advanced uk candidate in gorgton dental i like the guy
01:03:19.200
i think he's a good bloke i feel sorry for him but that result was a brutal defeat brutal they got
01:03:28.480
less votes than the raving monster loony party brutal brutal pure liquid fail for advance
01:03:40.240
they're not then they're not they're not really anything are they so they should join restore
01:03:46.960
stop talking about sieven that colorblind nonsense
01:03:54.080
okay reverend north says this date in 1917 was the first debate in the swedish parliament was held
01:04:04.000
starting the process that would lead to us adopting universal suffrage years later
01:04:08.160
oh i guess i'll take it you're calling for typing from sweden okay that's interesting that's
01:04:15.760
interesting yeah universal suffrage in the early 20th century across like most of europe opening doors
01:04:23.840
one says could starma be related to wurzel gummage again another reference you i'm sure you wouldn't
01:04:30.720
get harry a lot of people that aren't british and old enough just wouldn't who's wurzel gummage
01:04:34.560
it was it was a tv character that was like a scarecrow it was like this battered old haggard
01:04:42.160
scarecrow that came to life this might be like insane but i actually have seen wurzel gummage
01:04:52.080
oh have you yeah but of all things wurzel gummage i mean it's very nearly before my time wurzel gummage was
01:05:00.320
on tv when i was a little kid really little kid i remember it a few times when i was small really
01:05:05.600
small watching wurzel gummage but okay could starma be related to him funny all right uh luke stewart
01:05:14.640
says good day maybe the media just found out how horrible the ir is ir oh islamic republic is it
01:05:23.040
how horrible iran is to its women especially with the the grape girls so they don't go to heaven on
01:05:32.400
death row okay i think i get what you're saying and yeah yeah the media oh just suddenly oh oh actually
01:05:40.160
yeah no iran was a crazy is was is a crazy society horrible horrible society okay max robe says and it
01:05:51.680
looks put it in quotes what about that quote you attributed to him i don't i don't like it but i'll
01:05:58.800
have to go along with it in german how did he say it it can it can lichen i'm sorry max i don't quite
01:06:09.440
get that's a bit garbled to me what about that quote you attributed to him i don't like it but i'll have
01:06:16.400
to go along with it in german how did they say it i mean what you said so be a bit more clear sorry i
01:06:22.800
think i get what you're saying i don't know how did they say it i don't like it but i have to go along
01:06:31.120
with it i guess that's the that's the key point you're saying isn't it yeah okay i mean that's how i
01:06:40.720
feel about this entire war with persia i don't like it it could well quite possibly end in a
01:06:49.040
generation of sectarian bloodbaths just like iraq i guess i'll go along with it because hope just you
01:06:57.440
know fingers crossed it won't and leaving that insane regime in place isn't a good idea either
01:07:03.120
so i don't like it but i'll go along with it it's a horrible situation to be in isn't it it's horrible
01:07:09.280
situation to be in okay luke stewart says bo about the school scene photos hopefully real it looks
01:07:20.480
like the missile had flipped had flipped over and crashed this whole thing seems like a cluster yeah
01:07:26.880
i guess you're talking about that school in southern iran where 150 160 school girls are dead apparently
01:07:34.080
it says a missile had flipped over and crashed yeah i mean whose missile yeah it seems like a mistake
01:07:44.080
either way doesn't it unless it's extremely cynical from the iranians to do it to themselves
01:07:52.080
but that doesn't seem all that likely either does it just in the scheme not knowing one way or another
01:07:58.000
you only have to go with what seems more likely more or less likely but okay if it was a missile that
01:08:04.160
flipped over and crashed i don't know all right and the last one for today principled uncertain
01:08:12.720
uh get harry a cornetto on me for the late poll okay thank you harry says thank you no thank you for that
01:08:23.360
