00:01:46.100 all that many results at this time greenwich meantime but we have got it is clear we have got

00:01:51.920 loads of the results so um what i want to do today is really whip through the british print

00:01:57.160 media what's in the british news cycle this morning really whip through it because that is

00:02:00.760 the show uh and then spend most of the time before we do on this day in history in the

00:02:05.380 rubber ants and super chats talking about the midterm results because that's the biggest

00:02:09.000 news story in the world by far isn't it massively rewriting the power of balance the balance of

00:02:14.740 power in the united states all right so let's get into it then there's enough faffing about isn't

00:02:20.940 it more enough fannying around what's that cabal of evil fleet street editors talking about this 0.55

00:02:24.100 morning we've got king calls slavery monstrous and a celeb loses gag beard oh we'll see we'll

00:02:35.020 talk about who that is or who that may or may not be we'll speculate on who that may or may not be

00:02:39.220 what a way to phrase it though celeb loses gag bid why are you you don't have to phrase it like 0.75

00:02:45.340 that that's that's retarded all right the eye paper because all these all the papers go to 0.77

00:02:54.100 print at like what is it well there isn't one time but about 10 p.m last night the results weren't in 0.81

00:03:00.000 polls lots of polls hadn't even closed at that point or were closing around that time last night

00:03:04.120 So on the British print media, there's no results.

00:03:08.880 They're still saying what might happen.

00:03:10.940 A Trump loss will put his America dictatorship project at risk.

00:03:15.300 He's not a dictator. He's not trying to be a dictator.

00:03:17.660 Never has been, but OK.

00:03:19.620 King says, our King, King Charles III, sausage fingers,

00:03:24.680 Sacha Cobra Gotha, King says slavery was monstrous

00:03:27.420 but stopped short of offering apology.

00:03:29.440 In fact, apparently, I haven't watched the speech myself,

00:03:31.100 apparently he did argue back a bit talking about that factoid from history that the royal navy

00:03:37.500 actually tried to dismantle or did dismantle the transatlantic slave trade to a large extent

00:03:43.420 charles expresses quote most profound personal sorrow quote for quote shameful chapter of

00:03:49.820 history quote but praises royal navy's role in ending the transatlantic slave trade yeah we

00:03:55.180 should push back the arguments when they keep asking for apologies and reparations keep making

00:03:59.820 in the argument no we were ahead of the curb in terms of abolitionism we were ahead of the curb

00:04:05.240 in stopping the transatlantic slave trade what it so what did the west african countries do to stop

00:04:11.240 the transatlantic slave trade oh nothing in fact they perpetuated it in fact there's some countries

00:04:15.140 that still have slavery today all right all right okay in his address to commonwealth leaders in

00:04:21.160 the caribbean king acknowledges historic wrong uh historic wrongs as well as modern brutal conflicts

00:04:28.020 Catastrophic reality of climate change

00:04:30.560 And technological development

00:04:31.840 Classic King Charles isn't it

00:04:34.140 Slavery yeah sure but also

00:04:36.120 Climate change

00:04:37.340 Also solar panels right guys

00:04:40.480 Classic King Charles 0.99

00:04:41.820 Idiot 0.99

00:04:42.820 The monarch calls on Commonwealth nations 1.00

00:04:45.980 To work together to focus on

00:04:47.900 Action for the future

00:04:49.100 Hey guys let's not worry about who did what when

00:04:51.840 Let's just look to the future

00:04:52.860 Following Andy Burnham's previous suggestion

00:04:55.920 that he was open to calls for apology.

00:04:58.560 All right, we're just going to move on

00:04:59.460 because I want to get to the midterms.

00:05:01.180 OK, there's a John Lewis advert.

00:05:04.420 I know it's a lefty, commie thing to say,

00:05:06.840 but the John Lewis advert thing is so bourgeois.

00:05:11.200 Yeah, I'm nicking a phraseology

00:05:13.200 and even concept from the left there.

00:05:16.700 Even a stop clock is right every now and again, isn't it?

00:05:19.700 It's so bourgeois.

00:05:20.380 Who cares?

00:05:21.520 Who actually cares about the Christmas John Lewis advert?

00:05:25.240 really. You've got to have nothing going on upstairs, haven't you, to care about that.

00:05:30.900 The John Lewis advert. Oh, what's the M&S Christmas advert going to be? Oh, do we like it or not?

00:05:38.500 Give me a break. All right. Britain had leading role in ending the slave trade, says Charles. He

00:05:45.900 hails Royal Navy's heroics after Prime Minister opened door to apology for slavery. Okay. The

00:05:51.780 times the venerable times slavery was evil but we helped end it said king it

00:05:56.220 says king okay um president president plays trump card by scrapping Israel aid

00:06:03.020 on polling day Donald Trump said apparently the four billion dollars a

00:06:09.780 year they give to Israel it's largely in contracts as well as I think it's just

00:06:13.740 cash they don't just transfer four billion of cash it's like we'll we'll

00:06:20.460 give you military hardware largely to the tune of four billion anyway apparently he's going to scrap

00:06:25.660 that do you have a few months ago maybe a year ago i can't remember exactly how long ago bibi

00:06:30.220 came out and said we don't want it anyway we don't want it anyway we don't need it anyway

00:06:36.940 they'll get it in other ways won't they they'll just stop calling it like aid call it something

00:06:42.540 else all right plus apac has already got a lot of them in the in its pocket anyway hasn't it

00:06:49.900 does it really need that four billion anyway trump said on polling day he's going to scrap that

00:06:54.780 whether he will or not we'll see whether kushner will let him

00:07:00.220 here's another story the daily express you can read your express now

00:07:05.260 trump's keep america great midterm poll battle crier didn't work out that well but we'll get to

00:07:11.500 that in a moment uh burnham accused of offering a lever to wedge open the door to ask for cash

00:07:19.900 Odd syntax and his plan to say sorry for slave trade will cost us

00:07:26.440 says

00:07:27.820 His political enemies

00:07:30.220 Okay, the daily star appears up. There's gonna be another in between this film say in Spain or Magaluf

00:07:36.140 Okay, yeah, this one star faces sex claims

00:07:40.780 Celeb mystery celeb 0.51

00:07:43.120 loses gag bid, but

00:07:45.120 well-known man's injection

00:07:47.980 refused by a high court

00:07:49.580 injunction sorry

00:07:50.400 injection

00:07:51.360 well-known man's injunction

00:07:54.880 refused by a high court

00:07:56.320 so there's a celeb

00:07:57.880 we don't know who it is

00:07:59.080 we don't know who it is

00:08:01.440 and he's going to

00:08:03.800 apparently he's going to be accused of sex crime

00:08:05.780 by women

00:08:06.360 by women

00:08:08.140 uh 0.92

00:08:09.340 adult women apparently 0.99

00:08:11.280 and uh 1.00

00:08:15.120 And he tried to take an injunction out to, like, gag the media.

00:08:20.400 And the High Court decided, no, no, you can't have that.

00:08:25.820 But there was some other proviso where the legacy corporate mainstream media

00:08:29.840 at this point still can't name him or won't name him for now.

00:08:33.640 But ultimately, they will be able to.

00:08:36.220 That's the story.

00:08:37.580 Anyway, on a completely unrelated note, Little Britain was good, wasn't it?

00:08:41.680 Do you remember David Walliams in Little Britain?

00:08:43.660 He was quite funny in that one, do you remember?

00:08:45.120 what

00:08:47.700 I was changing subject

00:08:49.520 completely unrelated

00:08:50.480 different subject

00:08:51.600 new thing

00:08:52.940 Little Britain was good

00:08:54.020 wasn't it

00:08:54.980 okay

00:08:58.060 the mirror

00:08:58.800 the mirror 0.52

00:09:00.300 sex claim star

00:09:03.160 judge rules

00:09:06.360 of women 0.95

00:09:06.780 can be reported

00:09:07.900 women 0.91

00:09:09.080 okay

00:09:13.200 On a completely unrelated note, David Walliams is quite a successful author, did you know, as well as being a TV person, he also has written loads and loads of kids books, books specifically for kids. That's David Walliams of Little Britain fame, on a completely unrelated note.

00:09:32.360 Okay, let's see, The Sun, The Sun, what have we got?

00:09:36.840 Something about Sidney Sweeney, don't care.

00:09:38.400 Okay, they go with this story as well. 0.92

00:09:40.160 Defeating High Court, sex pest, and then his name scribbled out. 0.79

00:09:45.600 Loses gag beard, but we still can't name him.

00:09:50.400 On a completely unrelated note, David Walliams is funny, isn't it?

00:09:56.040 All right, I've done that joke to death now.

00:09:57.920 Okay, moving on.

00:09:59.040 The Guardian, ooh, The Guardian.

00:10:02.360 Ugh. Smells gross. What is that? 0.94

00:10:08.360 Smells like a landfill tip in summer.

00:10:13.360 OK, The Guardian.

00:10:15.360 Prime Minister to reveal EU youth visa packs and trade deals worth billions.

00:10:20.360 Right.

00:10:22.360 America goes to the polls, went to the polls.

00:10:25.360 Trump faces reckoning as US heads to the polls.

00:10:29.360 There you go.

00:10:30.360 Oh, oh, this is a story, actually.

00:10:32.540 Flights hit by malicious hoax bomb threats.

00:10:35.200 This is a story that yesterday across Europe, including Britain,

00:10:39.440 two in Britain, what are they saying?

00:10:41.360 Like, seven passenger flights, and two of them were in Britain,

00:10:45.720 across Europe, received sort of hoax bomb threats.

00:10:50.300 There was no explosives.

00:10:52.360 There was no bombs.

00:10:53.920 But there was like a slew of them.

00:10:55.960 Yeah, and they're blaming Russia right away.

00:10:57.520 They just say it's Russia.

00:10:59.100 It's Russia and or China. 0.50

00:11:00.360 but probably Russia, that's what they're saying, okay.

00:11:05.680 The Telegraph, the Daily Toreograph, German-owned Zionist anti-white slop, anti-British slop,

00:11:11.340 calls to scrap chilling trans law.

00:11:15.660 New bill will criminalise parents for normal discussions about gender, warn experts.

00:11:21.440 Yeah, Labour want to try and bring in some sort of new law,

00:11:24.420 where if your kid says they're trans or want to be trans or something like that,

00:11:28.480 You as a parent can't really

00:11:31.420 Or it's going to stop the parent

00:11:33.360 The parent from like

00:11:35.500 Trying to discourage them from

00:11:37.160 Stuff like that

00:11:38.160 And that's chilling, say experts

00:11:40.380 Yeah it is, really chilling

00:11:41.620 King's reminder that Navy helped end slavery

00:11:45.520 Right

00:11:45.840 Russia blamed for malicious bomb threats

00:11:48.300 To flights across Europe

00:11:49.300 There you go, right there in black and white

00:11:50.760 The Telegraph never shy away from a bit of

00:11:53.760 Russia baiting, do they 1.00

00:11:55.180 Ketchup sachets

00:11:57.160 Face ban under Brexit reset

00:12:00.300 It was a classic

00:12:04.020 The sort of thing we wanted to get away from

00:12:05.820 Wasn't it with Brexit

00:12:07.040 That sort of insane red tape 0.94

00:12:09.660 Some insane European nonsense 0.76

00:12:11.620 That you can't have

00:12:12.680 A particular shape of banana

00:12:15.820 Or something

00:12:16.400 You can't have tomatoes that are too big

00:12:19.920 Or too small or something

00:12:20.820 You can't have ketchup sachets 1.00

00:12:23.180 For some bizarre stupid made up nonsense 1.00

00:12:25.500 Or arbitrary reason 1.00

00:12:26.300 So we left Europe

00:12:28.140 But now Labour are just doing that sort of thing anyway

00:12:30.680 Right

00:12:32.300 Right

00:12:33.280 Okay

00:12:34.380 Okay

00:12:35.620 The Metro

00:12:37.880 Even the spooks are spooked

00:12:40.600 Even the spies

00:12:42.120 The intelligence services are spooked

00:12:44.300 By the fridge cyber attack

00:12:47.280 Remember that from yesterday

00:12:48.740 Some hackers

00:12:50.000 Somehow hacked into

00:12:52.900 Fridges and freezers

00:12:54.580 Across Europe

00:12:55.860 on a vast scale

00:12:57.120 and turned them off

00:12:58.740 or turned them up

00:12:59.800 so that they weren't cold enough anymore.

00:13:01.540 Millions and millions of euros worth of food

00:13:03.100 were spoiled.

00:13:04.500 Even the spooks are spooked by that.

00:13:09.380 Okay.

00:13:11.260 Have a bit of a stiff upper lip though.

00:13:12.980 Come on.

00:13:14.060 The Financial Times,

00:13:15.560 US midterms,

00:13:18.420 Trump awaits voters' verdict.

00:13:20.580 Well, the verdict is in.

00:13:21.980 Let's try and get to it as quickly as possible.

00:13:23.820 Okay, that is it.

00:13:24.440 That was it.

00:13:24.900 That was it.

00:13:25.240 Alright

00:13:25.840 What are the results?

00:13:28.340 Well

00:13:28.660 It is a shellacking for

00:13:31.580 Trump and the Republicans

00:13:33.500 I'm afraid if you were hoping for a win from them

00:13:36.680 No

00:13:38.120 The Dems have taken control of

00:13:42.100 Congress and the Senate

00:13:43.560 Shouldn't laugh really

00:13:47.940 Not funny

00:13:49.140 But

00:13:51.920 Yeah they got

00:13:54.200 But the blue wave, the tsunami, the blue-nami has kind of happened.

00:14:01.800 I mean, we had a super chat yesterday right at the end of the show,

00:14:06.720 if you watched it, if you stayed to the end,

00:14:08.740 from a very loyal super fan, Tatum.

00:14:12.860 And it seemed the feeling he expressed was sort of right on the money,

00:14:20.080 i.e. he's a right-leaning person.

00:14:21.580 He wouldn't be a member of the glorious band The Chosen Few if he wasn't.

00:14:24.200 that he wanted to punish the republicans and trump for not being good enough it's not that

00:14:30.020 he's a democrat it's not he's far left far from it but he wanted to punish the democrats that's

00:14:35.500 often the way it's often the way that incumbency or governments it's an old adage in fact old

00:14:43.100 adage that oppositions don't win power the incumbent government loses it there's a big

00:14:49.900 difference right it's not always the way of course sometimes you do get an opposition leader who

00:14:54.080 is just got a fantastic amount of of um support and momentum right if you look at tony blair in

00:15:04.900 1997 i'm not saying it's right or fair i'm just saying it's the case if you look at obama you know

00:15:08.940 hey look at nelson mandela right something like that sometimes it happens usually though usually

00:15:14.020 it's the government that's already in place that loses rather than the opposition winning i think

00:15:20.280 this is a classic case of that. I don't think it's that the American people have taken a massive turn

00:15:25.920 to the left. They suddenly are much more left. It's that they wanted to punish Trump and the

00:15:32.680 Republicans by, if nothing else, by just not turning out. So okay, okay, let's get into it,

00:15:41.400 the numbers a bit. So the Democrats have taken control of Congress. First of all, let's do

00:15:47.000 Congress. So already the results verified, confirmed results. They needed 218 to take

00:15:52.920 control of it. They've already got 225. And the projections are that they'll get something

00:15:57.600 like 240 odd, 230, 40, 50, something in that ballpark. And the Republicans will probably

00:16:05.280 get 180, 190 odd, something in that ballpark. So the Democrats control Congress. That's

00:16:11.660 more important well arguably arguably more important than the senate and uh more important

00:16:16.640 than governors the governorships arguably arguably some people would say no bow that's wrong but

00:16:22.300 anyway when they control congress or the senate and the congress now uh trump won't be able to do

00:16:30.780 much he won't be able to do much at all he said already he come out and he said there's the power

00:16:38.800 of veto remember the power of veto i will always have that so it's not like the republicans can

00:16:45.180 sorry it's not like the democrats can now force through their agenda in any real way

00:16:49.240 because trump will block it probably but he certainly can't do his agenda for what it was worth

00:16:56.720 um because they just they will block it they will block everything so

00:17:02.120 government in a way or certainly trump's agenda will just come to a screeching halt now

00:17:09.440 just come to an absolute screeching halt so i mean is that what you wanted republicans who

00:17:16.860 didn't turn out to vote is that what you wanted that the small amount of good trump was doing

00:17:20.900 you don't even get that now is that what you wanted so you've got that's what you've got

00:17:25.920 they will just endlessly try and impeach him as well won't they of course

00:17:29.080 they will endlessly try to impeach him

00:17:32.740 American politics for the next two years

00:17:34.640 will be a real S show 0.66

00:17:36.260 going forward

00:17:38.620 well Trump did sort of squander his opportunity

00:17:42.700 didn't I mean that's MAGA over with

00:17:44.260 well Trump era MAGA over with

00:17:46.620 will MAGA live on

00:17:48.340 under Rubio or Vance or something

00:17:50.140 in a new iteration maybe probably

00:17:52.360 but Trump era MAGA-ism

00:17:54.500 it's over it's done

00:17:56.120 it's done

00:17:56.840 that's it now

00:17:59.220 he won't be able to do anything really 0.96

00:18:01.400 a lame duck 0.94

00:18:03.000 and in the Senate 0.72

00:18:08.320 again they've already won it

00:18:10.120 obviously you need 50, well 51

00:18:11.720 they've already got 54

00:18:13.220 I mean look at this Texas

00:18:16.420 Texas going blue

00:18:18.400 so to what degree

00:18:20.680 to what degree is it

00:18:22.600 like a real

00:18:24.400 shellacking

00:18:25.060 Is that the left-leading media playing that up?

00:18:28.840 Is it like a blue wave?

00:18:30.300 It is a bit.

00:18:31.520 It is a bit, if I'm just to be brutally honest.

00:18:33.780 It is a bit.

00:18:37.180 Okay, Texas going blue for the Senate.

00:18:42.020 And look, not that close.

00:18:45.920 55 to 43.

00:18:49.080 There's still some reporting coming back, but it's not that close.

00:18:53.540 and the governorship look at the governors texas goes blue greg abbott's out

00:18:59.840 again not that close 52 to 45 not that close let's go back to the senate real quick

00:19:05.640 texas goes blue new mexico colorado they're kind of expected kansas going blue for the senate i'm

00:19:14.660 just talking about the senate for a minute kansas that's a turn up for the books isn't it

00:19:20.500 Minnesota, you might expect. Maybe, maybe not. Iowa. Ohio, Illinois. Wisconsin is likely to go blue, I believe. Georgia. North and South Carolina, Virginia, all going blue.

00:19:38.260 it's a rejection of Trump and MAGA

00:19:46.320 now the next thing I suppose, data point

00:19:48.140 people talking about, talking heads, all discussing

00:19:50.240 to what extent are these midterms

00:19:52.700 a referendum on Trump

00:19:54.340 not even necessarily

00:19:56.340 the Republican Party but Trump himself

00:19:58.500 of course

00:20:00.080 he had said, hadn't he

00:20:01.800 a number of times

00:20:02.880 when you go out to vote

00:20:05.660 hey dear American

00:20:07.500 when you go out to vote imagine i am on the ballot because he thinks and history has shown

00:20:13.360 he is successful he's successful at the ballot box go out and even though this isn't a presidential

00:20:19.500 election imagine you're actually voting for me that i'm on the ballot he did that he said that

00:20:23.500 a bunch of times uh well so but so a rejection of that of you then donald on some level then

00:20:34.480 I've seen this morning

00:20:36.120 I think this morning or last night

00:20:38.220 He tweeted on Truth Social

00:20:40.540 Saying if I had been on the ballot

00:20:43.060 We would have done much better

00:20:44.400 You sort of were by proxy

00:20:47.480 You kind of were in essence

00:20:50.260 Though

00:20:51.260 I mean you explicitly talked about it and said it

00:20:53.560 So

00:20:53.860 Okay so I mean let's talk about it a bit more

00:20:57.840 The rejection of Trump

00:20:59.340 Or Trump's policies, Trump's agenda

00:21:01.020 Again I think 0.67

00:21:03.580 it's the true reds republicans why do america do that america's one of the only countries that does

00:21:11.420 that that the the right leaning option is red everywhere else in the world it's the left that's

00:21:19.100 red communist red socialist red always the left is red always but no americans do it the other way

00:21:25.740 around the republicans are red okay it's like doing month first in the date why are you doing

00:21:32.300 that, everyone else does it the other way, anyway, anyway, anyway, true Republicans, it's not that

00:21:39.620 they have suddenly decided, oh, I'm going to vote Democrat now, it's just that they're like, Trump

00:21:43.700 hasn't done enough, hasn't gone far enough, you promised us mass deportations, it's not that we're

00:21:50.720 upset that some, there's been some footage of semi-brutal ICE agents doing stuff, it's that you

00:21:57.240 didn't go far enough. Bannon, when Trump was talking about millions must go sort of thing,

00:22:02.300 not those exact words, but he didn't do it. He didn't do it. And the cost of living, particularly

00:22:09.640 petrol has gone up because of your insane war that Netanyahu manipulated you into. Oh,

00:22:15.700 Beau, what are you talking about? Nobody manipulates Trump, don't they? Don't they? Trump wasn't

00:22:21.240 manipulated. He always wanted to do that, really. Didn't do it in his first time, did

00:22:27.240 that war in Iran is not particularly popular.

00:22:31.080 With die-hard Trump supporters and die-hard Republicans,

00:22:33.480 where whatever Trump and the Republicans do,

00:22:35.180 they're going to say, yeah, it's great, I love it.

00:22:36.760 With those, okay, fine.

00:22:38.280 With your average swing voter,

00:22:40.500 your completely average American,

00:22:42.800 doesn't really care about foreign policy,

00:22:44.980 someone in the middle of Ohio or Iowa

00:22:48.420 don't care about who controls the Straits of Hormuz.

00:22:54.680 They care about how much it costs for their gasoline.

00:22:57.240 To get to work

00:22:58.300 Yeah, yeah

00:23:00.260 They don't like that war

00:23:01.320 And it's repercussions

00:23:03.360 Yeah

00:23:07.020 Seems to be what's happened here, doesn't it?

00:23:13.880 So, yeah, the Senate

00:23:15.000 I sort of thought

00:23:17.040 That maybe the Democrats would take control of Congress

00:23:19.680 But not the Senate

00:23:20.540 Well, they've done it easily

00:23:21.980 They've done it quite easily 0.85

00:23:24.080 I mean, soon army

00:23:27.140 Maybe you could characterise it as a tsunami is a bit much,

00:23:29.580 but it's a solid win for the Democrats,

00:23:32.500 a solid fail for the Republicans, isn't it?

00:23:35.640 There's another way to spin it.

00:23:36.780 There's another way to spin it, got to be honest.

00:23:39.400 I remember when I went to bed last night,

00:23:41.640 I don't know when it was.

00:23:42.560 It wasn't that early, actually,

00:23:43.980 because I tried to stay out for a bit of it.

00:23:45.480 The first results were coming in in Florida.

00:23:48.140 Florida's firmly, let's go back to the House, shall we?

00:23:51.640 Florida's firmly red, isn't it?

00:23:53.540 and uh florida came in and it was like firmly red of course kind of of course uh and i saw some

00:24:05.020 videos come up from some people on the right on youtube starting to gloat like people like uh

00:24:10.120 liberal hive mind i like liberal hive mind uh people like steve turley i like steve turley

00:24:14.340 i don't agree with all of his takes but i like him uh i don't agree with a lot of his takes but

00:24:19.420 I like him. And people like that are starting to gloat, starting to gloat, starting to say,

00:24:27.140 oh, it's going to be a good night for the Republicans, it's going to be a great night

00:24:30.620 for Trump and MAGA, and it's going to be a vindication of everything Trump's done over

00:24:34.200 the last two years. It's looking good.

00:24:40.380 Afraid not. Afraid not. So let's look at the House in the Congress in a bit more detail.

00:24:47.260 so a lot of the Midwest well all the Midwest most of the Midwest staying red

00:24:53.020 largely Colorado Colorado's in an interesting one isn't it usually

00:24:57.220 presidential even goes blue often now there's loads of people they say don't

00:25:03.280 they loads and loads of people that have left California fled California because

00:25:06.940 it's so expensive there and crime and all sorts of things it's kind of a crappy

00:25:10.720 state actually California in a number of ways is it not in terms of natural

00:25:15.660 beauty. Absolutely beautiful place, but in terms of governance, not the best, California.

00:25:21.980 So a lot of those, but they're naturally liberals, moved to places like Texas and Colorado.

00:25:27.420 And of course then it's reflected at the ballot box. Loads, apparently in Texas, loads

00:25:33.300 and loads of millions of Indian people are flooded in, in the last few years, like they 1.00

00:25:39.780 have everywhere in the world. Modi explicitly and deliberately talking about it.

00:25:45.780 We're going to try and, I paraphrase slightly, try to take over big chunks of the world

00:25:49.780 just by sending millions of our people there.

00:25:53.780 Don't you think it's interesting that a lot of the districts actually on the border,

00:26:00.780 literally on the border with Mexico, they're the ones that go blue?

00:26:10.180 okay look big chunks of the south going blue alabama georgia

00:26:16.740 mississippi now some are saying that maybe uh the actual that yeah in the senate mississippi

00:26:23.220 might go blue look that's really close that one god look at that look how close mississippi is

00:26:31.700 just a few dozen votes in it

00:26:34.820 isn't it? Remarkable, isn't it? Remarkable, I think. And the governors, the governors

00:26:45.060 as well, more and more governors. Look, Kansas, Kansas have a Democrat governor. Kind of

00:26:54.360 remarkable, I think. Again, it's a repudiation. Georgia, again, not close there, not really

00:27:04.820 george having a democrat okay um illinois what was it no the senate the senate in illinois

00:27:15.300 uh no sorry michigan michigan abdul al-sayed will be a senator for michigan

00:27:26.980 great great

00:27:29.300 It's not a good day for the Republicans

00:27:34.220 Is it

00:27:34.660 You can't describe it

00:27:36.840 You can't try and spin it

00:27:38.120 People like Steve Turley probably will

00:27:39.640 Try and find some sort of

00:27:41.440 Golden lining

00:27:43.420 Some sort of every cloud has a silver lining

00:27:45.900 Sort of thing

00:27:46.340 It might mean

00:27:50.380 If I'm going to try and do that

00:27:53.180 It might mean that at the next presidential election

00:27:55.920 In two years time

00:27:58.580 The Republicans are

00:28:00.760 Slightly more likely to do well

00:28:03.040 At the next presidential election

00:28:05.120 Because the next two years will reveal

00:28:07.060 The Democrats for the insane 0.99

00:28:08.720 Psychos 1.00

00:28:09.580 Commies, Islamists, globalists 0.99

00:28:12.780 That they are 0.52

00:28:13.520 Will that bode well for Rubio or Vance

00:28:17.100 At the next presidential election

00:28:18.460 Or someone else, it's not definitely going to be

00:28:20.880 Rubio or Vance is it

00:28:22.720 Abdul Al-Sayed

00:28:25.440 Is a senator

00:28:27.340 right okay okay

00:28:32.460 a bit disturbing really a disturbing trend of things and so yeah is it a is it really a

00:28:44.700 indictment of trump himself

00:28:48.300 let's have a look at let's have a look at some of the uh websites

00:28:54.300 they're so happy look at these liberal karens so happy

00:28:59.980 oh price of oil price of oil down a bit down a tiny bit from yesterday

00:29:08.620 the old markets not particularly spooked or anything i did see uh on uh some of the other

00:29:16.360 markets more like equities markets taking a big plummet off the back of this but i want to actually

00:29:23.380 let's have a look at our poll because i believe i asked jack to do a poll that was along these

00:29:28.200 lines as well um jack you need to bring up so i can see how we phrase the question

00:29:33.240 um if you bring up the poll i can't see it there's so much glare today

00:29:40.540 have you i'm not seeing it on the screen jack oh there it is okay sorry there it is sorry you got

00:29:47.800 for me. Okay, we asked you, do you think the Republican Party deserved this defeat? Deserved

00:29:55.040 it. Okay, 66% of you say yes, the IAs have it. 1.2 thousand votes. The IAs have it. 34%

00:30:07.020 of you say no. I feel like deserved is a bit strong, but if I was given, I'm not given

00:30:11.900 an option of I don't know, or I'm not sure, or maybe, it's just yes or no. You can only

00:30:16.160 say yes or no? I guess I'd say yes. Trump should have really lent into patriotism. He

00:30:28.420 should have really lent into nativism. Like white American nativism, not First Nations 0.98

00:30:36.880 Native American nativism. Give loads of money to their reservations. Not that. Yeah, he 0.98

00:30:45.940 He shouldn't have got involved in that war in Persia.

00:30:51.300 Is it going to be a forever war now?

00:30:54.360 There doesn't seem to be any plan to get out of it, does it?

00:30:59.240 It doesn't seem like what Dr. Steve Turley said, that it's like 5D chess.

00:31:03.080 Don't worry about it, it's all part of the plan.

00:31:05.000 Trust the plan, bro.

00:31:06.260 This is all 5D chess.

00:31:08.900 No, no, no.

00:31:10.060 I think Trump meant it when, in the first instance in February, he said,

00:31:14.160 It's going to be a short thing

00:31:15.300 We'll be out in a few weeks

00:31:16.440 It'll all be over in a few weeks

00:31:17.660 Two, three, four weeks

00:31:19.440 I think he meant that

00:31:21.280 That's what he meant

00:31:22.260 That was the design

00:31:23.480 We're still doing it

00:31:26.340 We 1.00

00:31:27.620 They

00:31:28.480 Are still just like

00:31:29.980 What do we do now? 0.83

00:31:31.080 The Iranian regime hasn't collapsed

00:31:33.100 What do we do now?

00:31:34.560 What's the plan?

00:31:37.020 Pete

00:31:37.340 Marco

00:31:39.260 Donald

00:31:39.800 What's the plan?

00:31:42.060 Oh you haven't got one?

00:31:42.980 Oh right

00:31:44.060 Okay

00:31:45.780 That's what's happening, isn't it?

00:31:51.520 The American people have noticed that, haven't they?

00:31:54.920 Not best pleased with that

00:31:56.800 They thought Trump was going to be the type of president that

00:32:01.300 He doesn't do exactly that

00:32:04.140 Alright

00:32:09.500 Something about Parliament

00:32:14.060 The actual Palace of Westminster is crumbling

00:32:16.360 There you go, look

00:32:18.200 Trump suffers crushing mid-term defeat

00:32:20.720 As Democrats seize control of the House and Senate

00:32:22.820 In historic blue tsunami

00:32:24.700 And President's closest allies are warned

00:32:27.440 It's time to lawyer up

00:32:28.780 Yeah, you know, you know

00:32:30.520 The Democrats

00:32:32.440 Now they can

00:32:34.220 Are going to lean into the lawfare side of things

00:32:37.280 With everything they've got

00:32:39.480 Aren't they

00:32:40.140 Because that's what they do

00:32:41.560 I mean that's what both sides do now

00:32:43.540 Isn't it a bit

00:32:44.100 But that's particularly what they do

00:32:46.140 They're going to try and impeach him

00:32:48.220 Over and over and over again

00:32:50.020 Multiple times all at once probably

00:32:51.760 Is that what you wanted Tatum?

00:32:59.760 Not having a pop at you particularly

00:33:01.000 But is that what you wanted?

00:33:02.760 Because that's what's going to happen now

00:33:03.880 Just have complete paralysis

00:33:07.100 In a government now

00:33:08.700 Is that the best thing?

00:33:12.700 Does that punish the Republican Party, does it?

00:33:18.260 Okay

00:33:18.700 Crestfold and Trump

00:33:20.280 Crestfold and Trump

00:33:21.460 Did see, did a phone call to someone

00:33:23.520 CBS or something

00:33:24.260 And he said he was a bit surprised

00:33:26.120 Yeah

00:33:27.800 A little bit, I suppose

00:33:29.640 You better lawyer up, sir

00:33:31.720 You better lawyer up

00:33:32.980 Well, he's got plenty of lawyers, hasn't he?

00:33:36.180 well the office of president has its own council doesn't it

00:33:40.180 so don't you get the presidential lawyers

00:33:43.000 Donald Trump issues furious statement after humiliating midterms loss

00:33:48.740 well that's it

00:33:50.460 I don't want to overstate it too much

00:33:55.300 but that's it for his presidency in the sense

00:33:58.340 of getting anything done

00:34:00.680 he had his chance, he had his window

00:34:03.400 where he controlled the Congress and the Senate

00:34:07.200 and he couldn't even, he failed to get the Save America Act passed

00:34:13.020 it's not his full name is it, but you know the one

00:34:15.260 to sort of ensure that voting is much fairer

00:34:19.200 Donald, Donald

00:34:21.760 you controlled Congress, you controlled the Senate

00:34:24.860 you had the majority in the Supreme Court

00:34:29.220 which you've still got

00:34:30.060 and you couldn't get a keynote piece of legislation passed

00:34:36.900 to make voting a lot more transparent and fair in the United States.

00:34:42.720 Well, that's a failure of leadership, sir.

00:34:49.140 Hope the MAGA crew don't get mad at me for talking like that.

00:34:54.140 Broadly speaking, of course, I'm much more on board with Trump and the Republicans

00:34:57.400 than the Democrats, the lesser of two evils.

00:35:00.060 But, you've got to call it how I see it, that was a failure.

00:35:04.060 He failed. He failed to deport all the people he said he would, promised to.

00:35:10.060 Failed to get a piece of key legislation passed, even though he controlled Congress and the Senate. 0.75

00:35:16.060 And he failed to not get involved in another Foreign Forever War.

00:35:25.060 Didn't really do what he said he would do.

00:35:30.060 All the while, we've got Jared Kushner and his brother feathering their nests.

00:35:40.680 Great. Well done. Well done.

00:35:45.840 Even the sun's talking about it. There you go, look. Even the sun.

00:35:51.940 All done wrong. Clever wordplay, isn't it? Clever. Clever pun.

00:35:57.020 you know because it rhymes with it's all gone wrong all don wrong

00:36:02.200 had a team of wordsmiths working around the clock on that one on that zinger all don wrong

00:36:10.520 trump thumped in midterms as democrat blue wave sweeps congress and even texas flipping but don

00:36:18.080 refuses to blame iran war well he would do wouldn't he but no that's definitely not what it's all

00:36:23.560 about that's not what that's not a key important key importance yeah it is it is if nothing else

00:36:29.660 the repercussions at the pump yeah look yeah i'm not sorry let's go back to the congress

00:36:41.920 look people care about it main people people care about how much they have to pay for petrol

00:36:53.560 The cost of living in general.

00:36:57.760 But you decided, you were obsessed with whether Iran could get a nuclear weapon.

00:37:04.820 You're telling us that they were weeks away from getting a nuclear weapon.

00:37:11.160 Were they? Were they? Are they?

00:37:17.380 Could have done something that was a bit more measured, like that Midnight Hammer.

00:37:22.340 Like that was a measured thing wasn't it

00:37:24.340 Relatively measured thing

00:37:25.720 Could have redone things like that

00:37:29.280 But no you went full bore 1.00

00:37:30.900 Let's blow up the Ayatollah 1.00

00:37:33.680 And big chunks of his family 1.00

00:37:35.840 And loads of the Iranian leadership

00:37:37.660 Why did you do that? 0.97

00:37:43.100 You went full Mossad

00:37:45.020 Never go full Mossad

00:37:46.620 Why did you do that?

00:37:50.780 in that time in February

00:37:53.280 when Israeli intelligence

00:37:57.980 came to you and said

00:37:59.620 look we've got an opportunity to blow up the Ayatollah 0.98

00:38:01.940 we've been working on this for years and years and years 0.99

00:38:05.960 we've got all sorts of dirty tricks

00:38:08.040 to find out exactly where he is

00:38:10.020 like infiltrating

00:38:12.040 the road cameras

00:38:14.920 in Tehran

00:38:16.060 we know exactly where it is

00:38:17.600 if you green light it right now

00:38:18.860 we can we can blow him to smithereens

00:38:21.020 and Donald went 0.91

00:38:24.120 yeah alright then do it

00:38:26.840 why why'd you do that

00:38:28.460 why'd you do that

00:38:29.160 completely destabilising

00:38:31.860 the world in various ways

00:38:34.460 certainly the region

00:38:35.660 taking oil prices

00:38:38.740 for maybe a generation half a generation

00:38:40.460 or whatever

00:38:40.780 could have just said

00:38:46.080 no

00:38:46.980 We'll do operations like Midnight Hammer

00:38:50.060 If and when we need to 1.00

00:38:50.960 If I'm truly concerned about Iran 0.91

00:38:53.840 Getting very very close to a nuclear weapon 0.86

00:38:55.400 Then we can do things like Midnight Hammer

00:38:58.000 Whenever we need to

00:38:59.040 We've got the stealth bombers

00:39:02.060 We've got the ordinance

00:39:04.160 To do it 0.97

00:39:05.780 Even if we have to drop 12 bunker busters 0.86

00:39:08.740 Moab buster bunkers

00:39:10.640 One on top of another

00:39:11.720 Even if they bury it under the deepest of mountains

00:39:14.240 We could just drop

00:39:15.260 we'll just drop a hundred of those if we need to

00:39:17.820 one after the other on exactly the same spot

00:39:19.480 and drill down

00:39:20.020 we can do that

00:39:21.720 but no, we decided to go forever war

00:39:25.120 that was being punished, wasn't he?

00:39:29.140 at the ballot box

00:39:29.920 they control the senate and congress

00:39:33.860 well, alright

00:39:34.840 alright

00:39:36.480 that's the biggest story, isn't it, of the day

00:39:38.760 sigh

00:39:41.800 sigh

00:39:42.480 sigh

00:39:45.260 that's the problem with having quite a big moustache soup strainer anything you eat or

00:39:52.880 drink it does get in it all right well let's just move on it's already 22 i've got more recording

00:39:58.620 i've got to do today so shall we just move on let's have a quick look on this day in history

00:40:04.520 i like doing that bit you guys seem to like me doing that bit down through the centuries now

00:40:08.040 the millenniums on the 4th of november this day in history what happened if no let's have a look

00:40:13.460 On this day in 1576, the Eighty Years' War in Flanders, the Spanish defeat the Walloons and capture Antwerp.

00:40:20.460 Yeah, that's where the Spanish, the King of Spain will be Philip.

00:40:26.460 Was it Charles at that point, Charles V, or is it Philip II by that point?

00:40:30.460 Must be. Well, it was about the time they swapped over.

00:40:34.460 Anyway, the Habsburgs, the Spanish Habsburgs, the Emperor of Spain invades Holland, the Netherlands.

00:40:42.460 Florida's the low countries what is today Holland and Belgium and stay there for well well 80 years

00:40:49.700 that's why it's called the 80 years war I don't get independence till like what the 1640s or

00:40:55.100 something the Spanish Netherlands an important part of history really important part of history

00:41:00.800 there's lots and lots of repercussions of that lots of Protestants leaving to come to Britain

00:41:06.720 actually the Huguenots all sorts of stuff that was the launch pad from which Spain tried to

00:41:12.120 invade Britain in Spanish Armada days, 1588.

00:41:17.080 All of European history might have been quite different if the 80 Years War hadn't have

00:41:20.120 happened. 0.73

00:41:21.120 But there you go, it did.

00:41:22.120 Alright.

00:41:23.120 We've got the migrants crossing the plains on this day in 1841, that's later than you

00:41:28.080 probably think, isn't it?

00:41:30.080 1841, knocking off the mid-19th century, is the first wagon train arrives in California

00:41:38.440 after a five-and-a-half-month, 1,730-mile journey

00:41:41.780 over the highest Sierra Nevada from Missouri.

00:41:46.380 Missouri.

00:41:48.200 Grandpa Simpson calls it Missouri, so I think that's funny. 1.00

00:41:51.340 Anyway, 1841.

00:41:54.480 You know, like, the Lewis and Clark mission is way earlier in the century,

00:41:57.180 like 1804 or 5 or something,

00:41:58.960 so it's not like it's the first Americans to go out west,

00:42:02.900 heading out California way.

00:42:04.040 It's not like they're the first ones,

00:42:05.340 But that was just sort of an expedition of discovery more and more, whereas this is the first real settlers, proper settlers.

00:42:15.780 Still, that's quite late, isn't it? 1841? It's not that many years later before cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles start springing up.

00:42:24.960 And the US settlement of the West

00:42:30.540 The Far West, I mean

00:42:32.060 Not what today we call the Midwest

00:42:33.400 But the Far West, the West Coast

00:42:35.600 It's not very old

00:42:37.440 In the scheme of things

00:42:40.140 In the scheme of human civilisation

00:42:41.580 The US expansion onto the West Coast of the United States

00:42:46.400 Is a very, very recent thing

00:42:48.260 More recent than most people think

00:42:50.460 I think, usually

00:42:51.580 Okay, what else have we got?

00:42:53.860 On this day in 1845, first nationally observed uniform election day in the United States,

00:43:00.000 i.e. it's all the same, not to do with a military uniform, it's uniform all the same,

00:43:05.460 takes place in the United States, the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.

00:43:09.480 They still do that to this day, don't they?

00:43:11.560 Usually around, what, the 5th of November is the election, isn't it? Presidential election.

00:43:17.340 Okay, before that it was always a bit more up in the air.

00:43:19.440 on this day in 1862 American inventor Richard Gordon Gatling

00:43:26.580 patents the hand-cranked Gatling machine gun in Indianapolis

00:43:31.060 again do you think that's late is that a bit later than you might have guessed

00:43:34.140 1862 it's in the middle of the Civil War isn't it

00:43:37.460 the US Civil War or not in the middle well it is about

00:43:40.800 yeah it's about roughly in the middle

00:43:42.120 I played a bit of Red Dead Redemption 1

00:43:48.060 There's a Gatling gun bitten in that, isn't there?

00:43:50.420 Chum, chum, chum, chum, chum, chum, chum.

00:43:51.720 The handle, you crank round.

00:43:53.180 Chum, chum, chum, chum, chum, chum, chum, chum.

00:43:55.500 The Gatling gun.

00:43:56.800 Modern sort of machine guns, miniguns,

00:43:59.620 are still called Gatling guns, aren't they?

00:44:02.940 After Richard Gatling.

00:44:05.600 Okay, on this day in 1879,

00:44:08.180 African-American inventor Thomas Elkins

00:44:10.580 patents the refrigerating apparatus.

00:44:13.060 Does he? Does he?

00:44:14.760 He patented it. He didn't invent it.

00:44:17.100 You're going to try and claim he invented it, very careful with those words, patent it.

00:44:20.820 No, the concept has been around for centuries.

00:44:23.500 The concept has been around for centuries, thank you very much.

00:44:26.080 An Englishman presented the concept to James I in the early 17th century.

00:44:32.420 He was an African-American.

00:44:35.640 He was merely the first person to patent it. 0.99

00:44:38.200 Patent it.

00:44:40.080 Always be careful with that.

00:44:40.840 They might say, oh, this was the first person to patent something.

00:44:44.340 it doesn't mean you invented it it doesn't mean you came up with the concept or the science or

00:44:48.520 anything at all it just means you were first to patent it all right on this day 1922 howard

00:44:55.640 carter discovers the intact tomb of pharaoh tutuk amun in egypt to talk about that for ages

00:45:03.220 that was one of the things when i was a kid one of the things when i was a kid got fascinated by

00:45:09.200 when i first heard about it i mean a little kid as well like eight nine ten eleven years old

00:45:13.260 something the story of of howard carter lord command and um finding tutankhamun king tut's

00:45:22.300 tomb in the valley of the kings and uh the whole story of you know the classic moment

00:45:28.860 of breaking through and peering into the chamber shining a torch in there and it's glimmering with

00:45:35.260 gold it's an ancient egyptian pharaonic tomb chamber that wasn't plundered hasn't been plundered

00:45:43.260 wow the greatest archaeological discovery of the 20th century

00:45:48.060 or arguably ever maybe you could maybe maybe say some might argue it's filled with gold and

00:45:56.000 treasure wonderful stuff and then all the conspiracy theories around it how loads of

00:46:01.680 people that were involved in that died relatively soon after but that's that is that is sort of

00:46:09.260 Fairly nonsense conspiracy theorists

00:46:11.780 But anyway

00:46:12.140 Howard Carter

00:46:13.140 And King Tut

00:46:14.460 And then getting older

00:46:17.380 And reading all about

00:46:18.320 The history of it

00:46:19.100 He was the son

00:46:20.100 Of that pharaoh 0.71

00:46:21.300 Who called himself Amun 1.00

00:46:24.120 Who tried to change 0.99

00:46:25.840 All of Egyptian religion

00:46:27.860 And Tutankhamun's father

00:46:30.180 Did move the capital of Egypt

00:46:34.480 And 0.99

00:46:36.060 Changed the religion 0.99

00:46:37.780 Entirely

00:46:38.520 from like a pantheon of egyptian gods so there's one god there's one sun god the amun and i am him

00:46:45.480 as well people went along with it a bit but he was maybe mad he was maybe mad to become his father

00:46:54.840 and then when when he died to come in comes in and like the priestly class because he's young

00:47:00.280 to come in was a boy king they the priestly castle like we're changing everything back you know that

00:47:06.760 right kid yeah we changed everything back your father was mad they took i mean is probably lame

00:47:16.920 whether he was born with some sort of congenital problem like one leg shorter than another or he

00:47:22.440 had some sort of bone issue or whether maybe he got terribly injured at some point maybe in a

00:47:27.100 chariot crash seriously damaged his leg or his hip in some way but it seems that he wasn't in good

00:47:33.100 health and then he himself died young as a very very young man and anyway anyway talk about that

00:47:42.220 go on on on on but it's not a history show so i didn't even tend to all right look that up for

00:47:48.280 yourself if you're interested i think it's fascinating it's a sort of story that fires

00:47:52.820 your imagination if you're interested in history at all okay on this day in 2008 barry obama

00:47:58.360 becomes the first African American

00:48:01.520 to be elected President of the United States

00:48:03.540 defeating Republican candidate John McCain

00:48:05.760 as bad as Obama is

00:48:07.620 I blame Obama

00:48:08.740 as bad as Obama was

00:48:11.740 and divisive as he was

00:48:13.240 divisive as he was 0.99

00:48:15.380 disgusting 1.00

00:48:17.620 really Obama 0.99

00:48:18.960 I still think he's

00:48:21.820 probably, if you had this

00:48:23.200 twist between two evils

00:48:24.780 him or John McCain

00:48:27.000 If I could go back in history, God-like

00:48:32.120 And just decide who won in 2008

00:48:35.100 Between Barack Obama and John McCain

00:48:36.820 I'd just get to press a button

00:48:37.980 I would probably let Barry Obama win that

00:48:42.340 Because

00:48:42.800 Why are you saying that, mate?

00:48:44.460 What?

00:48:44.800 What?

00:48:46.280 Do you know about John McCain? 0.91

00:48:47.780 How insane

00:48:48.420 I think John McCain was 1.00

00:48:50.080 As evil and wrong-headed 0.98

00:48:52.580 As Obama was 0.99

00:48:54.000 I feel like John McCain was worse

00:48:55.280 I feel like John McCain was worse 0.66

00:48:58.660 He's dead now isn't he John McCain

00:49:02.440 I really really didn't like John McCain

00:49:07.220 Really didn't like him

00:49:09.220 Didn't trust him

00:49:10.540 It was like a new progressive 1.00

00:49:15.220 Insane black progressive guy 1.00

00:49:17.680 Or a child of the swamp 1.00

00:49:20.280 The deepest swamp creature you can imagine

00:49:23.220 John McCain 0.95

00:49:23.880 he is the swamp john mccain was anyway anyway all right anyway

00:49:31.160 let's go on to our rumble rants and super chats should we

00:49:38.120 i always do the rumble rants first on this show the completely arbitrary

00:49:42.600 way in which i do these things i've just said oh what are you doing jack's playing around my

00:49:49.160 screens okay okay he's done it all right is global church history going to be in at number one i hope

00:49:53.580 Also, let me do this with my beam, so I can see left-hand side of my screen.

00:49:58.100 Is Global Church, is it going to be a good day?

00:50:00.580 Yes.

00:50:01.780 Yes.

00:50:03.060 He's back.

00:50:04.280 And still reigning defending Global Church History.

00:50:09.460 Okay.

00:50:10.460 How are you, sir?

00:50:10.980 Hope you're all right.

00:50:11.440 He says, today in 683, the 13th Council of Toledo condemns forced conversions, the use

00:50:18.480 of torture to gain legal confessions and pardoned recent rebels.

00:50:23.580 do you mean 1683 not 683 jack would you mind opening a new window for me and then just typing

00:50:35.060 in 13th council of toledo you could cut and paste it off there if you want

00:50:39.300 is it surely it's not in 683 maybe it is though maybe it is i don't know my councils of toledo

00:50:47.180 that well oh no it is sorry quite right then fair enough the 13th council of toledo oh that's

00:50:57.420 something i need to brush up on that's something i need to brush up on that's quite early though

00:51:02.460 isn't it false conversions they'll be during the that's right at the beginning of the reconquista

00:51:07.780 isn't in fact the reconquista arguably hasn't even started um the use of torture to gain

00:51:13.320 confessions how'd that work out for the roman and spanish inquisition and pardon recent rebels okay

00:51:20.040 interesting well i certainly need to brush up on that okay thanks good i like learning stuff you

00:51:25.880 learn something new every day okay and then the other factor you've given us is uh in 1501

00:51:30.640 catherine of aragon meant met prince arthur

00:51:33.640 i think i've got long-form content all about the age of henry the seventh that would be

00:51:39.980 and then on into the age of Henry VIII.

00:51:42.460 Yeah, all of that, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:51:44.380 Because Catherine of Aragon,

00:51:45.620 famously Henry VIII's wife for over 20 years

00:51:48.580 and bore him a daughter, Mary, 0.90

00:51:51.360 Mary I, bloody Mary. 0.82

00:51:53.220 She was married, if you don't know, 0.96

00:51:54.200 if you haven't watched my content, you don't know.

00:51:55.920 She was married to Henry VIII's older brother.

00:51:59.260 Henry VIII was never supposed to be king.

00:52:01.580 Henry VIII had an older brother who was going to be king, Arthur.

00:52:06.980 Henry VIII was groomed to just be in the church.

00:52:09.340 maybe be a cardinal at best.

00:52:12.220 That's what Henry VIII grew up.

00:52:14.840 That's what you're going to be.

00:52:15.880 You're not going to be king.

00:52:16.640 Arthur's going to be the king.

00:52:18.980 So Arthur was betrothed to a Spanish princess,

00:52:23.800 Catherine of Aragon.

00:52:26.320 And, well, did they...

00:52:28.380 They were fully married.

00:52:30.020 Did they ever consummate that marriage?

00:52:33.260 Why am I asking that? 1.00

00:52:34.040 I'm a dirty old man. 0.99

00:52:35.180 Why are you asking that? 0.98

00:52:36.960 Well, it becomes really important.

00:52:38.920 like 25 years later, 30 years later. Really important. A matter of state.

00:52:47.320 Henry VIII claimed they never did. Anyway, they were married for a while.

00:52:52.040 They were both really young. They were like 14 or 15 or 16, something like that.

00:52:55.720 I think she was a couple of years older than him maybe, but they were young.

00:52:58.920 They were like old teenagers, sort of age. But then Arthur, the man who would be king,

00:53:05.880 died of natural causes just died happens happened in the pre-modern world you get an infection you

00:53:12.280 get almost anything if your body if your own natural system can't fight it off that's it

00:53:20.360 it's hardly any medicine so you could catch almost anything

00:53:26.120 if you're not strong physically strong your immune system your autoimmune system is very strong

00:53:31.560 you die. Pretty straightforward. Anyway, Arthur died. History is littered with princes, heirs to

00:53:40.200 the throne that should have been a monarch. And then he just died because they didn't make it.

00:53:48.120 Okay, so it passes to the next son, Henry. What they did, they said, that political alliance

00:53:56.600 though with Catherine of Aragon and Spain was vitally important, an absolute lynchpin in both

00:54:02.680 Spanish and English foreign policy. So even though Leviticus says you should not marry your brother's

00:54:10.840 wife or widow, we're just going to do that anyway. We're just going to marry her to the next brother 1.00

00:54:18.280 down now. Well, once Catherine of Aragon became too old, became barren, became older than 0.95

00:54:29.560 childbearing age, and Henry VIII insisted on having a son, because of the spectre of

00:54:35.280 the Wars of the Roses, you need a son, was his calculation. He wasn't to know that one

00:54:39.780 of his daughters, Elizabeth, would go on to rule over a golden age. He wasn't to know

00:54:44.780 He was just afraid that there would be another

00:54:46.880 Wars of the Roses

00:54:48.800 So he needed a son 0.99

00:54:50.780 Catherine of Aragon can't give him sons anymore 0.97

00:54:52.960 So he's got to divorce her 0.66

00:54:54.880 Or annul the marriage

00:54:55.780 But the Pope won't let him do it

00:54:57.560 For political reasons

00:54:59.760 As well as religious but mainly political reasons

00:55:01.900 Well he just made the argument that

00:55:04.420 Oh no sorry that's right

00:55:07.420 Henry made the argument

00:55:08.180 She had consummated the marriage

00:55:10.740 With Arthur

00:55:11.960 That she had

00:55:13.860 therefore she was legally married to arthur therefore he could never have been legally

00:55:20.780 married to her even though he's lived with her as his wife and she was crowned as queen of england

00:55:26.360 for over 20 years but he was then arguing no i couldn't in the eyes of god i could never have

00:55:31.640 been married to her because she was always married to arthur and that was never legally

00:55:36.260 annulled or there was never a divorce there so that whole time she was in fact i've been living

00:55:42.180 in sin this whole time with her. She's actually my brother's wife and remember in Leviticus

00:55:46.360 where it says she can't do that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that whole marriage is null and void now. 0.99

00:55:52.360 Anyway, it's a famous story. It's a famous story. If you want to hear me talking all about it in

00:55:55.800 detail, because they'd sign up for this £5 a month bronze team membership, or lotusseaters.com.

00:56:04.520 Also, do the thumbs up button, Van Dabby Dosey button. If you don't mind, make sure you sub to

00:56:10.560 the channel and get the bell on okay and buy some merch

00:56:19.200 okay moving on next one is from pig dog next two

00:56:23.360 three the next three all from pig dog 5150 he says 0.93

00:56:26.880 welcome back mr history that is mr global church history yeah welcome back

00:56:30.160 bro and then he said mr dade any more thoughts

00:56:33.200 on positive news updates at all please they are sorely needed many thanks to

00:56:38.000 you to harry and jack today uh and all the team at lotus eaters you don't know how appreciated you

00:56:43.680 all are oh thank you that's very kind of you to say that's very kind of you to say yeah i'm i like

00:56:48.200 doing a white pill from time to time i'm one of the only ones on lotus eaters that does i feel

00:56:53.100 like i'm one of the only ones that does segments on like um science and technology from time to

00:56:58.040 time on the main podcast um thing is with that just to be brutally honest just to tell you how

00:57:04.520 it works is they don't do that well in terms of numbers in terms of clicks and unfortunately that

00:57:12.260 is what we're doing here right if you don't get enough clicks you die as a channel right 0.69

00:57:20.280 but then you don't want to be pure slob so it's a balancing act right balancing act

00:57:24.980 but people say people that want white pills genuinely want them i genuinely want to do them

00:57:32.300 lots of people say do more white pills

00:57:35.060 do more stuff about space and science

00:57:37.300 in the final reckoning

00:57:39.500 fewer people click on those

00:57:40.940 than if it's rage bait

00:57:42.000 that is the reality

00:57:44.600 if you look at the statistics

00:57:46.700 if you look at the breakdowns

00:57:48.740 fewer people will click

00:57:51.240 on something positive

00:57:52.180 it's a shame isn't it

00:57:53.420 it says something about the human psyche

00:57:55.720 doesn't it

00:57:56.660 in the old adage

00:57:58.860 even in the mainstream media

00:58:00.700 if it bleeds it leads

00:58:01.800 people want to

00:58:04.720 be outraged

00:58:06.320 and frustrated and annoyed

00:58:09.020 more than they want to be

00:58:11.040 inspired by something good

00:58:12.940 it does say a lot about the human condition doesn't it

00:58:17.340 nonetheless

00:58:19.140 I will do

00:58:20.040 I will do white pills

00:58:22.660 from time to time

00:58:23.600 you want more, I'd like to do more

00:58:25.480 in fact I used to didn't I

00:58:26.700 have a segment on science news

00:58:29.720 or space news

00:58:30.600 Maybe I'll bring that tab back and look at it most days

00:58:34.360 Start doing that again

00:58:35.400 Something inspirational, something good

00:58:38.540 Something how the human project, human civilisation

00:58:42.540 Is actually progressing in other ways

00:58:44.720 It's not all just race riots

00:58:47.680 Yeah 0.99

00:58:49.640 Okay, noted pig dog 0.69

00:58:51.940 And I agree with you 0.85

00:58:52.800 Alright, next one is also you who says

00:58:54.580 With regard to yesterday's news about prison and drugs

00:58:58.700 You said you wouldn't go as far as Bukele. 0.98

00:59:01.440 Bukele doesn't go far enough, based. 0.97

00:59:04.140 Pig dog, based. 0.91

00:59:06.200 Be glad I'm not the boss. 0.99

00:59:08.000 Well, dot, dot, dot.

00:59:09.400 You might be glad, but criminals wouldn't be.

00:59:11.980 Crying, smiling, laughing, emoji face.

00:59:15.380 Yeah.

00:59:16.700 No, you're right, based, based.

00:59:18.320 Yeah.

00:59:20.200 All right, the next two are from TomRat247, who says,

00:59:24.700 Wanted to comment yesterday, Bo.

00:59:26.180 the reason the fridges are online is because oh I'm wondering I'd be interested to know this

00:59:30.840 if you know the reason the reason why fridges are online is because of insurance oh okay

00:59:36.680 insurance requires them to prove they meet uh HNS what's that health and safety requirements

00:59:43.660 for liability coverage and insidious attack well I did not know that that's interesting

00:59:49.000 if that's true I'm sure it is true I'm not questioning whether that's whether you're

00:59:52.280 making it up. That's interesting to know.

00:59:57.560 So it's a health and safety thing. Well done health and safety.

01:00:02.440 Another backfire for health and safety, right?

01:00:07.320 It has to be online so they can monitor it.

01:00:10.600 Okay, on paper that probably sounded like a good idea.

01:00:16.280 On some level it maybe is a good idea, but it just leaves you open to cyber

01:00:20.040 attack why does it have to be online doesn't have to be online does it have your own network

01:00:26.580 be your own closed network and then health and safety people can come along and check

01:00:33.100 your own data why does it have to be online well all right all right uh the next one is also

01:00:40.180 talking about he says my take on trump midterms okay here we go trump went full boris johnson

01:00:46.380 Then he went full Boris Johnson treachery

01:00:52.280 Republicans need a zero seats moment

01:00:54.420 Okay, fair enough

01:00:55.220 That was something like Tatum was talking about yesterday

01:00:57.500 The acceleration is for you

01:00:58.400 Fair enough

01:00:58.820 You know, I get it

01:00:59.900 I get it

01:01:01.180 If that's what you're saying

01:01:03.880 Yeah, I mean, I understand the angle

01:01:05.600 He didn't go full Boris Johnson, did he?

01:01:10.260 Not full Boris Johnson

01:01:11.020 But I get it

01:01:11.740 You know, I get it

01:01:13.240 He went towards the Boris Johnson

01:01:17.000 End of the spectrum

01:01:18.720 Of treason

01:01:20.800 Just doing not what you said you were going to do

01:01:24.020 Yeah

01:03:39.180 talking, one podcaster and one historian, published historian.

01:03:43.060 Then this published historian, sort of in the middle of this long-form bit of content,

01:03:47.600 just starts talking about how we're all mongrels and mentions whiteness a couple of times.

01:03:58.000 And then carries on to keep talking about the 5th century again.

01:04:02.480 Just a little bit, two, three minutes of anti-whitism just slung in there.

01:04:06.620 Apropos of nothing.

01:07:16.360 attacker screams i hate white people and the white victim would say it's not about race yeah yeah 0.99

01:07:21.920 it's as mad that's not an exaggeration is it in fact we've i've seen we've seen stories like that 0.99

01:07:27.160 haven't we there's a story and just one of many along these lines i think it was uh i think maybe

01:07:32.540 it was a Swedish politician, female Swedish politician, who was sexually assaulted or 0.86

01:07:37.500 perhaps even raped by a migrant. And she came out and says it's not her fault. It's not

01:07:42.500 the rapist's fault. It's not his fault. And there's no problem with the immigration policy

01:07:48.080 or anything like that. Yeah. Many such examples, aren't there? That's not an exaggeration.

01:07:53.920 What end anti-whitism? Just right there. Not at all. Next one is also you, says anti-whitism

01:07:58.380 and white guilt cause Europeans to be 0.99

01:08:02.580 of Stockholm Syndrome. Yeah, another good way 1.00

01:08:04.480 of putting it. We must rediscover

01:08:06.680 our instincts of healthy tribalism

01:08:08.900 and love for our own people.

01:08:10.740 100%.

01:08:11.980 100%. But you get someone like,

01:08:14.460 you get some disgusting 0.99

01:08:16.200 race communist like Tim 0.99

01:08:18.520 Stanley saying he's happy,

01:08:21.100 proud, happy 1.00

01:08:22.360 to be ruled over by foreign people. 1.00

01:08:24.480 Yeah, a lobotomised type of Stockholm Syndrome 1.00

01:08:29.400 Yes, it's a good way of putting it

01:08:31.900 Yeah

01:08:32.780 Something's gone haywire in his mind

01:08:35.580 And people like it

01:08:36.460 They're happy for it to be that way

01:08:39.720 To make us a marginalised and hated minority

01:08:43.660 In our one and only ancestral homeland 0.97

01:08:45.600 And ultimately wiped out demographically 1.00

01:08:48.240 Happy to be ruled over by foreign people 1.00

01:08:51.460 Something's gone haywire 1.00

01:08:52.980 very profoundly

01:08:54.920 okay

01:08:59.700 Pigdog5150 again says

01:09:02.200 Operation Meridian

01:09:03.920 a US Marshal Service led effort in Ohio

01:09:06.800 August 2026

01:09:08.080 that located and

01:09:09.800 recovered 79 reported missing

01:09:12.220 and endangered children

01:09:13.420 between ages 6 and 17

01:09:16.140 I haven't even heard of this, Operation Meridian

01:09:18.020 the videos are depressing

01:09:19.940 kids in cages, I've never even heard of that

01:09:22.480 that one passed me by it august this year i'll google that later and should anyone else if that's

01:09:29.580 true and i'm not saying you're lying if that's true operation meridian okay in ohio 79 kids in

01:09:37.800 cages as young as six what i have to google that i have to google that okay next one gimli ogloin

01:09:44.960 superfan says with regard to carter and king tut i would argue the most important archaeological

01:09:51.480 archaeological discovery of the 20th century was the was the discovery of the rosetta stone

01:09:57.300 well that was the 19th century sir still fair point rosetta stone is more important than

01:10:05.160 king tut but that was early 19th century that was that was that was in the napoleonic era when

01:10:09.960 napoleon invaded egypt in what like 18 oh no 1799 or something was at the very very end of the

01:10:17.360 18th century anyway or certainly early 19th century before the Rosetta Stone was translated

01:10:22.720 um but yeah the Rosetta Stone is in the British Museum I've seen it myself with my own eyeballs

01:10:28.940 dozens and dozens and dozens of times remarkable thing absolutely remarkable thing I'd like to do

01:10:34.060 a whole long-form bit of content I've thought about it before for years do a long-form content

01:10:38.100 just about the Rosetta Stone it being discovered and the story of well Champollion not Napoleon

01:10:43.980 Different man, Champollion

01:10:45.660 Who finally broke the code

01:10:47.940 They couldn't read hieroglyphs before that

01:10:51.460 Because it's the same bit of text, isn't it?

01:10:55.140 Three times

01:10:55.700 The same proclamation from a late Ptolemaic pharaoh

01:10:58.940 First of all in ancient Greek, is it?

01:11:02.460 And then one in another language

01:11:04.300 What is it now?

01:11:05.800 Is it Aramaic? I can't remember

01:11:07.260 A third language, which also wasn't lost

01:11:09.800 And we could translate in the 19th century and today

01:11:12.120 And then the third, same bit of text, copied out for a third time in ancient hieroglyphs.

01:11:18.120 It's like, ah, it's a key.

01:11:19.700 Ah, we can finally translate, begin, to understand ancient hieroglyphs.

01:11:26.080 A remarkable thing, Rosetta Stone.

01:11:27.280 Okay, then the final rumble rant here is from Richard Sock for Badger,

01:11:32.460 who says, Bo, all capitals, Bo.

01:11:36.060 You finally ground me down, and I went and signed up for,

01:13:08.860 There's loads.

01:13:12.600 It's already nearly called to pass,

01:13:13.660 well, I'll whip through them a bit.

01:13:15.320 You guys say interesting things, though.

01:13:16.460 It's hard not to respond when someone says something interesting.

01:13:19.580 Okay, there's over 20 here.

01:13:20.520 Let's get through them.

01:13:21.540 Okay.

01:13:23.000 LJNV.

01:13:23.500 How are you?

01:13:24.040 How are you?

01:13:24.340 Haven't seen you in a few days.

01:13:25.340 Appreciate you coming back there.

01:13:26.280 You're at number one today.

01:13:26.980 and new. LJMV says,

01:13:33.620 Bo, you magnificent man.

01:13:40.360 Thank you for saying that. European right

01:13:42.880 need to get away from Trump. Traditionalism is needed, not a

01:13:46.920 civic merchant class. Don't do a Trump. Good point. I agree with that.

01:13:50.920 Yep. The entire MAGA project has been

01:13:55.020 a bit of a damp squib now for the first this morning we can start to look back on it can't we

01:13:59.900 a little bit and you already have of course a bit of a damp squib wasn't it didn't really 1.00

01:14:07.340 deliver what was promised thought he's going to put hillary in jail

01:14:14.140 okay tatum says well well gop got what was coming restore usa please

01:14:19.180 imagine if there wasn't Rupert's out but restore USA

01:14:25.620 obviously get Americans to lead it of course

01:14:30.640 yeah that'd be good okay James Lee Pevenhole says all English monarchs from Henry I

01:14:37.860 had no slavery yeah the uh yeah the Normans the Norman invasion because Henry I was the son of

01:14:46.600 william the conqueror they abolished slavery on in on religious religious grounds they called it

01:14:55.240 what did they call it it was they called it a reformed church because you're still in the 11th

01:15:00.440 century of very very early 12th century so the great schism has happened between east and west

01:15:07.960 christianity between you know orthodox eastern christianity and catholic western christianity

01:15:19.620 that's already happened and yeah the normans did do away with slavery in the anglo-saxon period

01:15:26.120 there was slavery widespread slavery in the anglo-saxon period it's a good point so you're

01:15:31.980 right you're true it's true okay saber 051 because despite the atlantic slave trade it wasn't the

01:15:38.440 slavery wasn't legal in england during that time like what the 16th 17th 18th century it was just

01:15:45.140 a slave trade across the atlantic not in england you couldn't own slaves in england during that

01:15:50.140 period okay saber 051 says they used to swap colors between the parties every other election

01:15:58.000 and one year they just decided to freeze it in place.

01:16:00.560 Is that true? I didn't know that.

01:16:02.520 Is that true?

01:16:04.180 I did not know that.

01:16:05.860 That's very interesting.

01:16:07.200 I'd like to know, I have to Google that,

01:16:08.680 find out exactly when that was.

01:16:12.800 I mean, it could have been early in the 19th century that happened.

01:16:17.160 So there wasn't like a clear,

01:16:20.240 like usually leftism is red.

01:16:23.400 It's interesting to know.

01:16:24.600 Okay, thanks for that factoid.

01:16:25.920 next person is just a set of numbers

01:16:29.240 3001416

01:16:30.900 says

01:16:31.580 Bo, an important fact to consider

01:16:35.320 is how damaging Trump was

01:16:37.320 with his endorsements in GOP primaries

01:16:39.760 take the California

01:16:41.260 governor's race, he tipped the race for

01:16:43.220 MAGA consultant

01:16:45.180 consultant

01:16:47.220 over a popular sheriff

01:16:48.860 alright, interesting

01:16:51.040 yeah, Trump does seem

01:16:53.080 ever since the last presidential election

01:16:54.820 his endorsement does seem to be not exactly a kiss of death politically uh but doesn't seem to like

01:17:01.640 help necessarily all that much does it it's an interesting point okay rodney that's their name

01:17:08.780 rod underscore knee says the bad guy has won primarily because those on the right wanted

01:17:14.900 to punish potus they'll get what they freaking deserve yeah i've always thought i get i get

01:17:21.060 accelerationism, I do, but I always think it's still largely a perverse way of doing things. 0.99

01:17:31.300 I do think that. Because now what are you going to get? You'll get nothing. You'll get nothing.

01:17:38.900 Doesn't really help. It's not helpful. It's my opinion anyway. Mr. Gently Benevolent says,

01:17:47.060 Talking Turley, and then the little jingles, is the most absurd cope merchant going, Beau.

01:17:53.220 Yeah, I know, I know. I'm aware. I'm aware. It's got its place though, right? You don't have to

01:18:00.100 agree with people you watch. Like, taking note of what's in the print media. You don't have to agree

01:18:05.300 with it. You know, that's why it is sometimes interesting, funny, worthwhile to watch extreme

01:18:12.420 leftists. Turley's not an extreme leftist, of course, I'm not saying that, but it's worth

01:18:15.940 watching people you don't necessarily agree with um yeah so he put turley's the most absurd cope

01:18:22.580 merchant going yeah i know yeah yeah um and he put trump could s himself in a walmart and turley

01:18:31.700 would tell you how it was a masterstroke yeah yeah yeah yeah and turley's not that interested

01:18:40.420 it seems to me in presenting a reality completely unfiltered

01:18:50.900 and i kind of like him i don't have a pop at him not necessarily but

01:18:55.140 it's there's quite a lot of spin he's really spun it up really really spinning it as much as possible

01:19:04.260 okay

01:19:04.660 Aplolwal, I don't know how you want that pronounced.

01:19:12.280 One word, Aplolwal, says,

01:19:16.740 Trump could have won had he either won the Iran war or not interfered at all.

01:19:23.400 Now great everyone gets punished.

01:19:29.220 It should be in the comment there.

01:19:30.140 Now great everyone gets punished because he kept sending empty threats.

01:19:33.740 Yeah, I mean, that's not a bad take

01:19:35.340 Yeah, that seems like a fair thing to say

01:19:38.080 Yeah 0.98

01:19:38.340 If he'd wrapped up that Iran war quickly

01:19:41.640 Within three weeks 0.65

01:19:42.600 Or not done it at all

01:19:44.920 Probably would have done better during these elections

01:19:48.020 Yeah, almost certainly I would have thought

01:19:49.280 Okay, next one is from Tatum

01:19:51.060 He says, did you want Starmer in 2024

01:19:53.500 Versus more Tories

01:19:54.980 I mean, it's a good question, I get it

01:19:56.760 I mean, probably

01:19:57.640 Well, I would have liked

01:20:03.740 Probably, probably more Tories, to be honest.

01:20:06.200 Would have liked a minority government or a hung parliament.

01:20:12.300 Starmer wasn't good. 0.94

01:20:13.220 Bringing in, like, those abortion laws. 1.00

01:20:15.620 Trying to give away Chagos. 1.00

01:20:17.700 Trying to do away with jury trials. 1.00

01:20:19.440 I get your argument.

01:20:23.700 It's not like I don't understand the argument.

01:20:27.220 I could go back to 2024.

01:20:28.840 Would I want a few more years of Rishi?

01:20:30.720 I may well have taken that

01:20:35.180 I may well have taken a few more years of Rishi

01:20:37.460 but as bad 0.98

01:20:39.260 and ridiculous as they were 0.99

01:20:40.940 my country would have been hurt a little bit less 0.85

01:20:45.740 I do understand the argument

01:20:50.220 ok

01:20:51.920 David

01:20:53.160 JD123

01:20:55.860 although having said that

01:20:56.980 at the time I did support the Zero Seats thing

01:21:00.160 People are allowed to change their minds

01:21:05.060 Okay

01:21:06.960 David DJ123 says

01:21:11.080 I'm a bit confused but I thought it was predicted that we would lose the midterms

01:21:15.560 There's no way Trump's administration didn't prepare to lose

01:21:18.740 Well, if you remember

01:21:21.120 A lot of the polls

01:21:22.160 All the polls on the left were saying they would win

01:21:25.560 And a lot of the polls on the right were saying

01:21:27.620 No, Trump's going to do really well

01:21:29.720 there was loads of

01:21:31.680 voices

01:21:33.940 saying

01:21:35.260 no it's not going to be a blue wave

01:21:37.080 Trump's going to do really well

01:21:38.300 I was watching them just last night

01:21:40.060 before the results started actually ticking in

01:21:44.400 load of the Republican side

01:21:46.220 or like Liberal Hive Mind

01:21:48.500 and again I quite like the channel

01:21:49.640 Liberal Hive Mind

01:21:50.660 but they're saying

01:21:51.180 yeah it's all falling apart for the Dems

01:21:53.140 Republicans are going to do really well

01:21:54.800 as one example

01:21:56.400 okay

01:21:57.560 next one

01:21:59.360 rodney again says trump didn't control anything and you put thune did what's thune trump didn't

01:22:07.920 control anything thune did and he's a democrat wearing a skin suit thune i don't know who that

01:22:14.200 is or what that is is that a typo jack type in type in thune c-h-u-n-e okay while he's doing that

01:22:26.880 i'll move on next one is emily forrestore who says how are you love appreciate you sending in

01:22:34.020 super chats very often you put um i'm with dutton ah the good professor ed dutton i'll try and get

01:22:39.860 him on breakfast show thune is oh the majority leader oh john thune oh that guy oh i know that

01:22:49.980 guy forgotten his name okay that guy okay fair point then he's a democrat wearing a skin suit

01:22:59.380 yeah rhino republican in all but name yeah i'd completely forgotten his name okay uh emily

01:23:06.860 for restore says i'm with dutton iran shouldn't control hormuz nor get bombed uh well maybe i mean

01:23:13.540 i agree with that i agree with that if you could click your fingers and make it so sure that's what

01:23:18.240 i've always said i could just press a button and the islamic regime in tehran was just didn't exist

01:23:26.160 suddenly and there was no bloodshed or human horror or cost yeah i'd be smashing that button 0.94

01:23:32.060 yeah of course i'm not i'm not a fan of islamic theocracy yeah and then you put tatum and reds

01:23:39.820 Who voted blue 0.95

01:23:40.600 Equals 0.92

01:23:41.360 Equals

01:23:42.360 Summed up in TSOP

01:23:44.200 Then you put

01:23:45.780 So anti-Israel

01:23:47.260 They shill for 1.00

01:23:48.280 Islamo-commies 1.00

01:23:49.240 Hmm 1.00

01:23:52.040 Hmm

01:23:53.800 Yeah

01:23:55.740 You're so anti-Israel

01:23:57.340 That you end up

01:23:57.960 Playing defence

01:23:58.600 On behalf of

01:23:59.540 Leftism and communism

01:24:01.360 The leftist

01:24:02.500 Islamo-communist 0.71

01:24:03.700 Axis 0.99

01:24:04.460 Yeah

01:24:05.520 You sure about that?

01:24:08.180 Is that really a good idea?

01:24:09.820 You get it the other way around, don't you? You get people that are so anti-Muslim they

01:24:13.500 become pro-Israel, like Tommy Robinson for example. I think both those things you've

01:24:18.180 lost perspective. Don't be so anti-Muslim that you become pro-Israel. Don't be so pro-Israel

01:24:25.380 that you become anti-Muslim. You get it, both those things. I say the same one there. Anyway, 1.00

01:24:31.100 you get it. Stand up for your own people, first and foremost. Why would you want, like,

01:24:39.600 vote in blue why would you why would you actively have a leftist islamo alliance control parts of 0.91

01:24:48.020 your country if you didn't have to do that why would you do that what to send like a 4d message 0.55

01:24:53.780 from years down the line no brilliant idea in my opinion it's my opinion okay emily for restore

01:25:01.720 says iran's been destabilizing the world since 1979 yeah absolutely yeah yeah yeah ideally

01:25:09.640 the world could have should have got together in 1979 or 1980 it wouldn't be nice if ronald 0.56

01:25:15.400 reagan had done something about the ayatollahs that would have been nice wouldn't it

01:25:21.400 okay jordan jeffrey says in 2021 alton towers opened a brand new area of the park called

01:25:29.720 world of david walliams officially closed uh permanently yesterday weird is that true

01:25:39.000 jack put that into google is was there in alton towers

01:25:46.200 an area called the world of david walliams is that true that sounds so bizarre i'll find it

01:25:54.200 hard to believe but i'm but there's no way i'm not saying you're lying you wouldn't lie about

01:25:58.440 that would you? The world of David at Alton Towers. Okay, he's just googling it now. Yes, it's true.

01:26:11.960 It's true. And they've closed it down. Yes, they just closed it down yesterday. Hmm,

01:26:17.080 that's a coincidence. I wonder why they do that. Anyway, completely unconnected.

01:26:21.640 There's that unnamed person

01:26:25.720 Unnamed celeb

01:26:26.840 Who is maybe going to be up on loads of charges

01:26:29.960 For

01:26:30.900 God it's true

01:26:32.820 David Walliams and his little kiddies books he writes

01:26:36.200 A whole part of Alton Towers

01:26:38.480 Dedicated to that

01:26:39.400 Completely unconnected to that

01:26:45.620 As I say

01:26:46.460 There's that celeb

01:26:49.300 Unnamed celeb

01:26:51.260 who apparently many, many, many women

01:26:56.340 are coming forward to claim

01:26:58.180 misconduct of a sexual type against them.

01:27:06.220 In a completely unconnected story.

01:27:08.300 Okay, thanks, Jordan Jeffrey.

01:27:11.500 Did not know that.

01:27:14.060 Alton Towers had its dedicated David Williams part of the park.

01:27:18.460 Okay, mental.

01:27:22.020 Okay.

01:27:22.840 All right.

01:27:23.260 Erwin Romulus said,

01:27:24.500 Fedorotip, Tut's father, single god, was the Arten, not Amun.

01:27:29.500 Oh, did I say Amun? 0.96

01:27:30.380 No, you're quite right.

01:27:30.980 The Arten.

01:27:32.640 Yeah.

01:27:33.400 Did I say Amun?

01:27:35.080 You're right.

01:27:35.700 You're right.

01:27:36.180 The Arten.

01:27:36.920 Yeah, the disk of the sun.

01:27:38.420 The Arten.

01:27:39.920 Sorry, yeah.

01:27:40.480 Good Fedorotip.

01:27:41.620 I appreciate a good Fedorotip.

01:27:43.080 If I was ever saying anything factually wrong, do correct me.

01:27:46.120 Happy to be corrected.

01:27:48.080 Okay, and then you've put,

01:27:48.740 hence the reason

01:27:49.800 Tut changed his name

01:27:51.000 to Tutun Amun

01:27:51.940 Tutuk Amun

01:27:52.740 son of

01:27:53.740 yeah

01:28:14.180 of the YouTuber

01:28:15.140 Basic Logic

01:28:16.580 it rings a bell

01:28:18.620 not sure if i have though rings a bell but the most important thing is changing the moral framework

01:28:23.820 everything is secondary when fair point fair point yeah a youtuber called basic logic
