00:00:49.700 How are you this morning, good sir?

00:00:51.260 Morning, I'm all good

00:00:52.280 This embodied voice of the all-powerful, omnipresent producer there

00:00:58.020 All right, that's enough faffing about, isn't it?

00:00:59.840 It's quite enough fanning around for one morning.

00:01:02.160 Let's get straight into it.

00:01:03.300 What is the legacy corporate lamestream media

00:01:05.760 banging on about this morning?

00:01:07.460 What is that cabal of evil?

00:01:08.740 Quite frankly, evil.

00:01:10.620 Certainly a cabal of Fleet Street editors

00:01:13.620 trying to tell you is or isn't important today.

00:01:17.120 What are they lying to us about by omission?

00:01:19.840 Like they do every single day.

00:01:21.740 Do you think they'll be all headlines about

00:01:25.420 the fifth Baron Rothschild and his connection to Epstein?

00:01:28.020 Well, no there isn't

00:01:31.640 No

00:01:32.580 Alright, we've got

00:01:35.340 Prophets of War

00:01:37.240 Oil companies

00:01:39.380 And Super Rain

00:01:42.320 It just, it rained

00:01:43.820 Super Rain

00:01:46.080 Superman

00:01:47.440 Super Gran

00:01:48.460 It rained, that's all

00:01:49.880 A bit

00:01:50.840 Super Rain

00:01:53.520 What are they talking about?

00:01:55.800 What planet are they living on really?

00:01:58.020 Alright, that is what this show is though

00:02:03.340 Looking at the papers

00:02:04.880 And what's in the news cycle

00:02:06.100 In Britain at least

00:02:07.300 Okay, The Guardian

00:02:09.160 Straight off the bat with The Guardian

00:02:12.040 It's a bit early, isn't it?

00:02:16.540 Turn my stomach

00:02:17.520 Okay, I haven't eaten anything yet really

00:02:20.480 Alright, The Guardian

00:02:21.640 Profits of war

00:02:22.900 Oil giants make $90 billion

00:02:24.820 From price surge

00:02:27.320 as climate crisis engulfs europe climate crisis price surge

00:02:34.520 talking about we look at the price of oil don't we crude on the open market on the shelf a bit

00:02:40.040 or not every single day but more often than not don't we just have a quick check-in with it

00:02:44.840 do we check in with it right now since they're talking about price of oil well the profits of

00:02:54.040 big oil companies but still what we got let's have a look west texas 75 dollars

00:03:04.360 rent just over 79 dollars it's interesting about the same if not less than when the war started

00:03:15.240 this war benjamin netanyahu's and mr trump's war in the in persia less slightly less

00:03:24.040 remarkable absolutely remarkable i find that still the actual price that crude trades on

00:03:32.540 isn't the same thing is it as what we pay at the petrol pump and also isn't really the same thing

00:03:38.900 as the amount of profits that big oil companies make still still nonetheless interesting to note

00:03:45.480 the price of crude all right so the guardian because of course they're communists aren't they

00:03:49.400 really more fabians they'll say no we're not communists you don't even know your terms we're

00:03:56.020 not communists yeah they're just hardline socialists pretending you're not hardline

00:04:02.720 socialists we know we get it windfall from iran conflict triggers accusations of quote

00:04:11.880 cashing in on human misery quote well i mean to some degree

00:04:17.920 i mean if you're a company that deals with things like that it's not necessarily your fault is it

00:04:26.280 right i mean the share take for example the shareholders of a big oil company they didn't

00:04:33.560 make the call to start that war in iran today not that i'm going to bat for the shareholders

00:04:41.160 As big oil companies

00:04:41.940 I'm just saying

00:04:42.460 That's not the way

00:04:43.560 The world works is it

00:04:44.440 They didn't

00:04:45.140 Start the war

00:04:46.280 They haven't shut

00:04:47.760 The Strait of Hormuz

00:04:48.620 Have they

00:04:48.980 So

00:04:49.360 Again not them

00:04:51.000 Going to bat

00:04:51.580 For big oil companies

00:04:54.000 But

00:04:54.700 What I'm trying to say

00:04:57.240 Is it is what it is

00:04:58.200 Right

00:04:58.480 If you happen to own stock

00:05:00.980 In I don't know

00:05:01.840 Munitions companies

00:05:03.440 I wouldn't

00:05:05.340 I don't want to get

00:05:05.960 All hippie tree huggy

00:05:06.980 About it

00:05:07.420 But I wouldn't

00:05:08.180 But if you did

00:05:08.780 You owned

00:05:09.360 You owned stock

00:05:10.280 Boeing or BAE Systems

00:05:12.600 Or something

00:05:13.060 And then there's loads of conflict

00:05:15.100 And your company's worth

00:05:17.180 That company's worth more now

00:05:18.500 And your share of it

00:05:21.160 Is worth more

00:05:22.020 It's not like

00:05:24.480 It's not your fault

00:05:25.340 You didn't cause those wars

00:05:26.640 Or anything did you?

00:05:27.780 Anyway

00:05:28.260 You get it

00:05:28.760 You understand

00:05:29.260 It's not difficult is it?

00:05:31.500 Right

00:05:31.580 Jordan warned

00:05:32.660 Of Israeli takeover

00:05:34.220 Of Holy Sire

00:05:34.880 I read this this morning

00:05:36.900 And I find it interesting

00:05:39.720 Whether it will happen

00:05:42.380 I mean Jordan warning of something

00:05:44.340 Is different to

00:05:45.560 That thing happening isn't it

00:05:47.600 But nonetheless

00:05:48.300 So what it is

00:05:50.900 If anyone doesn't know

00:05:52.020 I've done some content about it before

00:05:53.500 I did a whole segment on the podcast

00:05:56.060 A year or two ago

00:05:58.780 Talking about

00:06:01.540 The Dome of the Rock

00:06:03.060 And the Al-Aqsa Mosque

00:06:05.400 And the site of the second temple

00:06:08.100 And

00:06:09.320 Is this ringing a bell to anybody

00:06:11.940 Anybody

00:06:12.300 Where to begin with this story

00:06:15.820 Okay in the middle of Jerusalem

00:06:17.180 In the middle of Jerusalem

00:06:18.760 There's a hill

00:06:21.900 In ancient times

00:06:24.520 There was more than one hill

00:06:26.600 But the highest point

00:06:28.260 In Jerusalem

00:06:29.440 The very highest point

00:06:30.900 In all of Jerusalem

00:06:32.540 In fact

00:06:34.600 In

00:06:35.300 The Jewish myth

00:06:37.900 Isn't that where they said

00:06:38.880 King David died

00:06:41.060 Or was it where he was crowned

00:06:42.600 It's a point to do with King David

00:06:44.440 The biblical King David

00:06:45.540 Okay

00:06:45.860 It's also the point where after Muslim

00:06:49.200 Halds

00:06:51.120 Muslim armies conquered it

00:06:52.600 In what like the 8th century

00:06:55.680 They also say

00:06:59.300 They also say

00:07:00.180 Don't know if I've got this right

00:07:01.920 Apologies if I've got this wrong

00:07:03.600 Mistaken it somewhere

00:07:04.220 That's also the point where they say

00:07:05.920 The Prophet Muhammad

00:07:07.100 Ascended to heaven

00:07:09.140 Anyway, I apologize if I got either of those details wrong

00:07:13.380 But the point is

00:07:14.280 The overarching point is

00:07:15.620 Both Judaism and Islam

00:07:19.920 Venerate basically the exact same spot in Jerusalem

00:07:25.660 Okay

00:07:26.920 Now, back in ancient times

00:07:32.160 It's a temple mount

00:07:35.140 That hill, that mountain

00:07:36.680 The Temple Mount

00:07:37.320 The Jews have had a temple there

00:07:41.240 For a long, long time

00:07:43.260 Was it Titus?

00:07:48.060 Vespasian's son Titus in 70 AD

00:07:50.180 That knocked down the second temple

00:07:52.500 That stood on Temple Mount

00:07:55.380 And only one wall of it remains now

00:07:58.820 That's the Wailing Wall

00:07:59.860 Have you ever heard of people go to Jerusalem

00:08:02.140 Even non-Jews

00:08:04.000 And you go up to that wall

00:08:05.820 the wailing wall and sort of venerate it in some way why why anyone would do that he wasn't jewish

00:08:13.480 i don't get it i don't understand all right but anyway they do don't they that's meant to be

00:08:18.360 one of the last the last remaining wall of the second temple in in jerusalem on temple mount

00:08:24.120 okay now the top of that is like a compound this is today i'm talking about now there's like

00:08:29.160 a compound in the middle like a big open big open space like a square it's not square shaped but big

00:08:35.020 open big open plaza sort of thing piazza whatever you want to call it and in the middle of that is

00:08:40.280 a mosque the al-Aqsa mosque right and inside the al-Aqsa mosque is that point where King David

00:08:49.920 Muhammad point the highest point on Temple Mount right now it's now with all that said

00:08:56.460 It's been the case since like the 19th century

00:09:00.880 That the top of Temple Mount and the Al-Aqsa Mosque

00:09:06.480 Is largely, if not exclusively

00:09:08.740 This, what I'm about to say, has ebbed and flowed a little bit over the years

00:09:12.140 But it's basically for Muslims only

00:09:14.800 Right

00:09:21.000 And

00:09:21.600 Normal Jews are not supposed to go up there

00:09:24.920 In fact

00:09:25.560 um a few years ago like what 10 20 odd years ago ariel sharon remember him ariel sharon anybody

00:09:35.380 last one plus ariel sharon i think he was actually prime minister of israel at the time

00:09:39.300 um he went up there like with an armed guard and like some official and there was like

00:09:45.440 journalists there and it's like an official sort of visit thing like a one-off sort of thing and

00:09:52.020 The Muslims went absolutely berserk

00:09:54.460 I mean it sparked off an

00:09:56.380 Intifada

00:09:57.860 They went berserk

00:10:00.320 Not allowed up there if you're Jewish

00:10:02.280 Essentially

00:10:03.760 And that

00:10:05.760 Status quo

00:10:07.220 At least in recent

00:10:10.160 Decades, in recent

00:10:11.860 Long and few decades

00:10:13.340 That status quo has been sort of overseen

00:10:16.660 By Jordan

00:10:18.080 Country of Jordan, neighbouring country

00:10:20.280 Jordan just next door to Israel

00:10:21.440 okay got the picture that's basically the main facts about that well this story

00:10:29.160 this story i had to explain quite a lot i think a lot of people don't know a fair few people don't

00:10:33.880 know if you already knew that you're like bo you're explaining it of course yes i think a lot

00:10:39.720 of people like harry did you know much or any of that really uh no right okay so apologies if i've

00:10:46.420 Dumbed it down for you guys

00:10:47.520 That already knew it

00:10:48.320 But a lot of people

00:10:50.420 Don't really know much of this stuff

00:10:51.820 So

00:10:51.980 Alright

00:10:52.300 Jordan warns

00:10:54.080 That Israeli takeover

00:10:55.320 Of Holy Site

00:10:55.840 The Temple Mount

00:10:56.500 They're talking about

00:10:58.360 That's what this story is

00:10:59.340 Whether it will happen

00:11:01.180 Whether it's just

00:11:01.700 Jordan fear mongering

00:11:02.720 Or they've got the wrong end of the stick

00:11:04.040 Or what

00:11:04.880 God knows

00:11:05.400 But this story says

00:11:06.380 That Israel are

00:11:08.080 Like considering

00:11:09.000 Or they've got plans

00:11:10.100 Plans within plans

00:11:11.960 To

00:11:13.360 Yeah

00:11:13.720 Sort of take over

00:11:14.380 The Temple Mount

00:11:16.420 it won't go down well with the Muslim population of that region or the world

00:11:29.060 I mean don't get me wrong I'm not like saying always well don't do it but you

00:11:34.540 shouldn't do it I'm not saying that

00:11:38.540 it's a messed up situation in it messed up situation

00:11:43.660 When two religions venerate the exact same thing

00:11:47.360 and claim it as theirs and theirs alone, kind of.

00:11:51.720 And that's backed up by a dogmatic religious doctrine

00:12:04.960 that's completely intractable.

00:12:09.560 Bit of an impasse, right?

00:12:10.820 I'm just saying

00:12:13.740 I thought that was an interesting story

00:12:16.100 It might be nothing to it

00:12:17.540 It might be just the Guardian

00:12:18.700 And Jordan

00:12:20.220 Whipping up crazy nonsense

00:12:23.000 It might be

00:12:25.620 The Israeli army occupies

00:12:28.280 Temple Mount tomorrow

00:12:29.320 Okay

00:12:35.860 Warning over safety of early release

00:12:40.420 tagging they're saying that when they release these prisoners early they give

00:12:44.360 them like an ankle tag and that those tags like often or a bit don't work okay

00:12:51.200 they fail they have a fail to work or fail to work properly

00:12:55.200 all right okay

00:12:59.020 it's just a complete clown show isn't it from top to bottom these days this country

00:13:10.420 That's Alan Partridge again.

00:13:11.520 All right, The Star.

00:13:12.540 They put some slop higher up here today.

00:13:16.020 All right, something about disgusting Rhiannon.

00:13:18.340 Don't care.

00:13:19.500 And it's rained.

00:13:20.840 Super rain.

00:13:22.240 Is it a bird?

00:13:24.760 Is it a plane?

00:13:25.520 No, it's super rain.

00:13:28.440 Let's talk about something else there, something clever.

00:13:29.940 No, just that it rained a little bit.

00:13:32.680 Gross.

00:13:33.020 What a gross front page, The Daily Star.

00:13:37.840 Mylene Klaas.

00:13:39.420 Mylene Klaas.

00:13:40.420 had a cancer scare

00:13:41.980 she hasn't got cancer

00:13:43.080 she thought she might

00:13:43.820 but she hasn't

00:13:44.880 something about Rihanna

00:13:47.440 I mean what

00:13:48.280 pure slop isn't it

00:13:51.220 pure slop

00:13:52.360 if you

00:13:53.340 buy the star

00:13:54.580 you read the star

00:13:56.340 regularly

00:13:56.760 you must have the mind

00:13:57.860 of a child

00:13:59.720 ok the eye paper

00:14:04.960 private firms may face

00:14:08.020 ban on profiteering

00:14:09.180 To make care homes cheaper

00:14:10.900 Alright well it would be nice

00:14:17.200 Wouldn't it for care homes to be cheaper

00:14:19.140 Or more affordable certainly

00:14:20.440 But again

00:14:22.480 Putting a ban

00:14:25.660 On

00:14:26.100 Making profits

00:14:28.900 A government puts a ban on making profits

00:14:31.680 There's other words to describe that

00:14:33.480 Aren't there

00:14:33.860 Like socialism

00:14:35.820 I mean it's not

00:14:39.700 Don't get me wrong

00:14:41.420 It's not good or right that

00:14:43.540 Care home companies should

00:14:45.820 Rinse people

00:14:49.740 Of their money

00:14:50.620 But when the government gets involved

00:14:53.480 Like a command economy

00:14:54.700 It ultimately never works

00:14:59.820 Let's read what it says

00:15:01.280 Ministers could impose profit caps

00:15:04.060 on private social care providers in a bid to keep costs down

00:15:09.140 as Andy Burnham prepares to tackle a decades-long crisis.

00:15:13.180 It's not that there's not a crisis.

00:15:14.360 It's not that some care home providers are out of order.

00:15:20.680 It's just to put blanket bans and caps on things.

00:15:24.620 The market's got a way of dealing with that.

00:15:30.900 You know, the result of this will probably be

00:15:34.820 Ultimately, that there are just fewer care homes in total

00:15:38.820 Because those firms, those private firms are like

00:15:42.540 Well, we close down then

00:15:43.920 We'll take our business to another country

00:15:46.720 We're not going to do it then

00:15:48.720 And so there's fewer care homes

00:15:51.080 You know

00:15:53.360 It is quite as simple as that, right

00:15:55.740 We'll put, it always happens

00:15:57.620 We'll put a price cap on cheese, say

00:16:00.300 i always go to cheese don't i but it's the same principle exactly the same principle

00:16:05.060 right put a price cap on cheese cheese producers go all right well we can't do it we're not going

00:16:10.340 to do it one way or another so then in the supermarkets there's no cheese now

00:16:13.620 it's really straightforward the cause and effect of that

00:16:17.640 is really straightforward okay on the face of it you're like it would be evil not to do this

00:16:25.540 wouldn't it? The evil private healthcare, old age care, the private firms, they're evil

00:16:32.840 profiteers, let's do something to stop it. At first glance you think, yeah, okay, good

00:16:37.880 idea, yeah, let's do what's right for old people in care, sure. But then one step later

00:16:46.360 So you see the problems with it

00:16:47.760 Alright

00:16:54.420 Officials tell the iPaper

00:16:57.180 Limits on private providers

00:16:59.260 Behind children's homes

00:17:01.200 And fostering agencies

00:17:04.240 Could be extended

00:17:05.200 After PM criticised profiteering

00:17:07.720 He's also talking about children's homes

00:17:10.140 Children's homes and foster care agencies

00:17:13.000 It'll be exactly the same thing

00:17:16.360 Because sometimes, right

00:17:18.520 Sometimes with this sort of thing

00:17:19.980 Profiteering

00:17:21.680 Sometimes certain companies, certain markets

00:17:26.400 They really are

00:17:28.460 Profiteering in sort of the truest word

00:17:30.580 In the truest sense of the word profiteering

00:17:32.820 And they should be curbed

00:17:36.280 It's sort of right

00:17:37.640 Sort of reasonable

00:17:39.740 That the government might step in to curb

00:17:42.060 Sort of insane profiteering

00:17:44.340 Okay

00:17:44.700 But when it's something where the margins are small, like the production of cheese, or eggs, or bread, or foster agencies and children's homes, they won't be like completely insane early 19th century capitalist profiteers twiddling their moustaches.

00:18:08.500 We're going to profit all the millions and millions and millions

00:18:11.540 On top we're making

00:18:13.100 By needlessly rinsing people

00:18:14.940 It won't be that

00:18:15.620 The profits will be marginal

00:18:18.760 Won't they

00:18:19.620 It'll be marginal

00:18:20.600 So a government comes in and says

00:18:23.440 Right that's the cap

00:18:24.240 That's the most you can do

00:18:25.240 And they're like

00:18:25.660 Well that's everything

00:18:28.280 That's all of it

00:18:28.920 That's all the profit

00:18:29.820 So we're out of business now

00:18:31.540 You guys get it

00:18:35.580 You guys get it

00:18:37.020 MP facing funding challenge with average space costing nearly a thousand pounds a week, yeah

00:18:42.740 Okay

00:18:46.280 James O'Brien, look they've used to like a 20 year old picture of James O'Brien

00:18:51.020 Isn't he much fatter and much ruddier than that now

00:18:54.920 They used to be the old picture of him

00:18:57.520 He looks like normal

00:18:59.480 He doesn't look like a radish

00:19:07.020 all right james o'brien opines in the eye paper ready for this brilliant take

00:19:16.220 such insight farage hoping no one notices immigration has fallen all right okay james

00:19:26.140 Okay, James

00:19:29.640 Disgusting cretin

00:19:32.400 I hope no one's noticed

00:19:35.900 Right

00:19:37.100 James O'Brien hopes no one's noticed

00:19:40.600 That we've been invaded

00:19:41.660 James O'Brien hopes that no one's noticed

00:19:43.740 That every town and city up and down this country

00:19:45.860 Is filled with third world barbarians

00:19:48.960 James O'Brien hopes

00:19:52.280 James O'Brien is hoping

00:19:55.860 That no one particularly cares

00:19:58.740 That they're being demographically replaced

00:20:00.380 In their one and only ancestral homeland

00:20:01.760 That's what James O'Brien hopes

00:20:03.000 Oh, immigration has fallen

00:20:06.800 It may have fallen slightly

00:20:08.080 But it's still ongoing

00:20:10.980 And the invasion is a fait accompli

00:20:14.000 Mostly, largely

00:20:16.360 To some degree

00:20:17.660 We're not supposed to notice that bit of it though, James, no

00:20:20.340 The immigration figures have just been

00:20:24.240 Punching us in the face for year after year after year

00:20:26.360 And now they're punching us in the face

00:20:28.340 Slightly less hard

00:20:29.640 It's now an open slap to the face

00:20:34.620 Rather than a punch

00:20:35.520 And we are invaded

00:20:40.560 James O'Brien says

00:20:44.540 Farage is hoping no one has noticed

00:20:46.580 That immigration has fallen a tiny bit

00:20:50.580 Did you not notice, James

00:20:52.340 That our towns and cities are filled with foreign people

00:20:56.340 Have you not noticed that?

00:21:00.300 Have you not noticed the crime rate among these people per capita?

00:21:05.860 No?

00:21:07.100 There is data

00:21:08.160 There is data

00:21:09.780 You have not noticed that James, no?

00:21:12.420 No?

00:21:14.620 You have not noticed the mass casualty events over the last 10-15 years or so

00:21:18.780 You have not noticed that James, no?

00:21:22.340 It's very interesting what someone like James O'Brien

00:21:25.500 There are many like them aren't there

00:21:26.680 What they do and don't notice

00:21:28.660 It's very interesting what James O'Brien

00:21:31.300 Fails to notice

00:21:32.940 Fails to understand

00:21:34.800 Oh don't understand

00:21:37.480 Don't understand crime rates per capita

00:21:39.600 Don't understand that

00:21:40.940 What are you talking about

00:21:43.640 Don't understand

00:21:45.700 Demographic decline

00:21:46.660 I don't get it

00:21:47.700 I don't know what you're talking about

00:21:48.440 You must be a Nazi

00:21:49.220 well best of luck to james o'brien and his drinking problem right the daily express

00:22:03.620 it's a good paper you can read your express now it's not of course i'm being sarcastic that's

00:22:09.880 another alan partridge line it's pure globalist slop wearing the skin suit of nativism and

00:22:14.740 patriotism. Pure slop. As disaster is narrowly averted in the channel with 173 migrants rescued

00:22:22.880 from a mega dinghy. Oh there's mega dinghies now. It's not just dinghies. They're mega dinghies.

00:22:28.540 Senior politicians demand French police stop standing by. How many more lives will you risk

00:22:33.780 by doing nothing asks the express. Do they care? They don't care. The express doesn't care about

00:22:42.740 the lives of these migrants nor our invasion all they care about is getting a click or you buying

00:22:50.260 their paper how much is it does it say i used to say at the top how much actually cost oh two pound

00:22:55.900 ten really two pound ten for a copy of the express it's not a good deal is it two pound ten

00:23:03.640 seems like only the other day it was like 50p

00:23:06.520 ridiculous two pound ten all right i don't care the express doesn't care doesn't care about us

00:23:15.780 because whenever you get a party even reform let alone restore get parties like

00:23:21.260 reform or restore or you might you might get a tory come out and say something based come out

00:23:27.540 and say something sort of in the national interest in the interest of the people

00:23:31.100 Some sort of nativist sentiment

00:23:33.220 About the small boat crisis

00:23:35.260 Whatever it is

00:23:36.480 The express will just try and destroy them

00:23:38.280 So do they care

00:23:42.000 About this invasion?

00:23:44.480 No, of course not

00:23:45.960 It's a cynical attempt

00:23:47.700 To just sell a newspaper

00:23:50.460 There's nothing more to it than that

00:23:52.060 How many more lives

00:23:54.520 Will be at risk?

00:23:56.440 Why are you pretending to care?

00:24:01.100 the express gross gross gross imagine the cabal of fleet street editors

00:24:07.420 in their telegram group or whatsapp group or whatever it is

00:24:11.420 hey hey over at the express this is just for you guys pretend you care about the lives of

00:24:18.620 migrants in the channel do that tomorrow yeah good don't mention what george osborne really is

00:24:25.560 though don't do a story about what he is what he represents don't do that

00:24:31.680 don't do a story looking into david lammy's finances and who's given him loads and loads

00:24:38.320 of money don't do that no don't do a story about the 190 rapes a day that happen in britain don't

00:24:48.600 that don't do that just pretend you care about the lives of the beast men that are invading us on a

00:24:55.880 daily basis just do that we've decided that's what's going to get you most clicks and sell most papers

00:25:04.680 yeah you're good at lying aren't you the express you're good at pretending to be something you're

00:25:08.440 not you do it every day so off you pop go on all right the netro

00:25:18.600 Metro is one of the worst

00:25:19.920 Really, really subversive, the Metro

00:25:22.120 Terribly, terribly subversive

00:25:24.140 Worse than the Guardian even

00:25:25.420 The Guardian's kind of honest with what it is

00:25:27.600 Kind of

00:25:28.200 The Guardian's more honest with what it is

00:25:31.420 Than the Express on the Mail

00:25:33.640 Or the Metro

00:25:35.720 Metro is revolting

00:25:40.040 What have they got today?

00:25:43.020 Early release scheme sparks heartbreak

00:25:45.560 Jailed just last year

00:25:47.900 But son's killer already set for freedom

00:25:50.120 I mean not quite

00:25:53.000 It's not quite what's going on here

00:25:54.540 But still

00:25:55.060 I'm not going to defend this early release programme

00:25:59.380 That's a sort of Fabian thing

00:26:04.940 Champagne socialist thing

00:26:06.880 Letting prisoners out early

00:26:10.040 Why would you?

00:26:12.760 Unless you actively wanted to destroy the society

00:26:15.620 The fabric of the society

00:26:16.800 Bring about a set of events that were conducive to

00:26:22.020 An actual revolution or something

00:26:24.320 Why would you dream of it?

00:26:30.120 Instead of early release they could build some prisons

00:26:32.600 Even prefab Nightingale prisons

00:26:34.860 So we make some Nightingale prisons

00:26:36.260 Or just deport the few 10,000 foreign nationals

00:26:41.980 We've got in our jails

00:26:42.780 Or the dual citizen ones

00:26:45.280 Strip them of the British part of their citizenship

00:26:47.460 And then send them back to the other country

00:26:49.820 They are a citizen of

00:26:50.840 Could do that, but no

00:26:52.900 We'll just release prisoners

00:26:54.800 Alright, so this story

00:26:56.000 This kid got stabbed to death

00:26:58.980 He was only 15

00:26:59.780 Looks like a good

00:27:01.660 He got stabbed to death at 15

00:27:04.560 And the person

00:27:07.160 That actually did the stabbing

00:27:08.580 Stabbed him 8 times with a massive zombie knife

00:27:11.620 And this guy

00:27:14.460 Didn't actually stab him

00:27:16.120 He was just there goading him on

00:27:18.300 Goading on the stabber

00:27:19.620 That's what this article says

00:27:24.320 I don't remember hearing this story at the time or anything

00:27:27.240 That's what he did

00:27:28.620 And he went to prison for that

00:27:30.940 I mean if you know more about the details of the case

00:27:35.680 Don't you me

00:27:37.140 It's literally

00:27:37.580 I've only read

00:27:38.360 What a couple of hundred words about it this morning

00:27:40.280 So if I've got any of those details slightly wrong

00:27:42.220 Apologies

00:27:42.920 You'll be in good faith

00:27:43.800 i believe this guy just egged him anyway he went to prison for a while he's supposed to

00:27:50.600 have gone in jail for a few years a small number of years um and after one year they're gonna let

00:27:57.840 him out slightly similar in a way to um that the the other yeah this guy this guy there were three

00:28:08.780 people involved this cop right he was dragged behind the car wasn't he and killed uh pc harper

00:28:14.640 there were three people involved in that right his leg got caught up i think it was his leg

00:28:21.640 anyway somehow he got caught up in like a tow line it's not like they deliberately tied him

00:28:27.440 with a rope and a rope to their car and a rope to him and then dragged him that's not what happened

00:28:33.100 but he got caught up in it and they just drove away right three people in that car that was

00:28:38.640 dragging him down the road now the person that was actually driving the car they're not set for

00:28:45.700 early release it's the other two that were at the scene and involved in it and were just in the car

00:28:51.540 but not actually driving it they're the two that are getting early release so a little bit as a

00:28:58.680 parallel between this guy wasn't actually the murderer as such but he was part of the the murder

00:29:06.240 scene he was how whole has some responsibility for what happened there that day you know you get it

00:29:12.500 and there's another story somewhere else i think it might be on one of the websites where again

00:29:17.620 and it's another story like that where a person that's getting released early was sort of involved

00:29:25.280 in an incident but not like the main the not the main person you know but not not that i'm not

00:29:34.160 trying to excuse it in any way or run defense on behalf of this early release scheme i think

00:29:38.560 i've made it clear i think it's ridiculous abomination sickening okay burnham betrayal

00:29:47.040 fury cop without the cops the cops police i think i guess it would be the police force he worked

00:29:55.280 for cops vow legal fight to block early release as pc harper's of pc harper's killers see you in

00:30:02.400 court pm andy burnham faces yeah he just says the cops themselves are going to take i don't know

00:30:10.240 recently i doubt it's andy burnham personally probably the home office i thought he didn't

00:30:16.960 say in the that blurb what it was yeah they're going to try and appeal it and try and keep his

00:30:21.920 killers uh in jail for longer bradley cooper's married that gg hadid okay don't care

00:30:37.360 nicole kidman the love life that drove her away from a-listers don't care

00:30:42.160 all right the daily telegraph the torograph look at the state of this

00:30:44.880 You're only listening to the audio

00:30:48.300 It's a picture of tiny little Olukemu Badenok

00:30:52.940 The Nigerian anchor baby

00:30:54.700 Somehow finds herself larping as the leader of the opposition

00:30:57.280 Because of some sort of insane fetish

00:30:59.560 For an out-group preference among the Tory party

00:31:02.280 An anchor baby

00:31:03.620 A foreign woman

00:31:04.520 A Nigerian woman

00:31:05.440 Who somehow is the leader of the Conservative Party

00:31:08.920 Bizarrely

00:31:11.320 Perversely

00:31:12.420 She went out on some raid with the cops

00:31:15.840 Because she's saying

00:31:16.440 If I was the Prime Minister

00:31:18.100 I'd make 10,000 new policemen

00:31:21.000 They always say that

00:31:21.920 10,000 new policemen

00:31:24.520 So haggard

00:31:27.240 But then she's gone out with the cops

00:31:31.000 And they've put a police

00:31:33.240 High-vis vest on her

00:31:34.960 She's folding her arms like a girl boss

00:31:37.380 With a police baseball cap on

00:31:42.420 what what she's like what is she like five foot two or something she's tiny

00:31:50.500 tiny little nigerian woman wants to lead our country

00:31:54.540 ugh disgusting absolutely revolting don't trust a word she says don't trust a word she says

00:32:05.700 It's just one big

00:32:07.880 Weird

00:32:09.340 It's one big humiliation ritual on us isn't it

00:32:12.840 Let's see if they'll accept an actual Nigerian anchor baby

00:32:17.760 As their Prime Minister

00:32:18.780 Let's see if we can hoodwink them into accepting that

00:32:22.860 Like she's based

00:32:26.660 Like she cares about the country

00:32:28.360 Wasn't it just a few years ago

00:32:30.640 She was standing up in Parliament

00:32:31.680 Gloating about more foreign student visas

00:32:34.740 She crammed into this country

00:32:36.080 But now she's the actual leader of the opposition

00:32:39.080 She calculates politically

00:32:41.040 It's best for her to appear based

00:32:43.080 To say based things

00:32:44.460 Don't trust her

00:32:45.120 Don't trust the Tory party at all

00:32:47.380 We'll never, ever, ever again

00:32:49.340 They had 14 years, didn't they?

00:32:53.240 Didn't they?

00:32:53.720 Didn't they have 14 years

00:32:54.660 To not walk us into a demographic nightmare

00:32:58.740 And yet that's exactly what they did

00:33:02.180 Wasn't she a part of those governments

00:33:05.180 Not for the whole 14 years

00:33:06.680 But wasn't she part of those governments

00:33:08.160 Yes she was

00:33:08.860 Is she part of the problem

00:33:17.280 That has now

00:33:18.280 I believe unfortunately

00:33:20.000 Has hard baked into our future

00:33:22.760 A nightmarish

00:33:25.120 Sectarian horror

00:33:26.680 A 1990s Yugoslavia

00:33:31.260 style sectarian nightmare along racial religious and sectarian lines tribal lines yeah this person

00:33:40.540 and then but she's gonna stand there like a girl boss until she knows what to do about the police

00:33:47.240 she wants to be the head of our government get away from me you freak you disgusting freak you're

00:33:56.540 in the wrong country you're nigerian why don't you go to nigeria and get involved in nigerian

00:34:04.740 revolting setting free pc harper's killers is not justice yes true

00:34:14.060 burnham warned that he must reverse decision as anchor grows over early release yeah

00:34:22.060 a thousand staff at bank of england work from beach quote work from beach quote little story

00:34:30.480 quickly read this this morning and a whole bunch of people that work for the bank of england

00:34:36.240 i guess they've got you know the version of working from home

00:34:40.640 an extension to that would be well if you work from home

00:34:45.120 remotely all you need is a laptop and the internet and you can do your job you don't

00:34:50.560 necessarily have to be in your actual home you could be anywhere as long as you sign in and do

00:34:56.880 your work could be in a foreign country that's what this is work from beach is just sort of

00:35:03.200 a shorthand for working from anywhere in the world basically it doesn't necessarily mean

00:35:06.960 actually on the beach it's the article says that loads of uh that is actual a policy at the bank

00:35:13.200 of england that not only are you allowed to work some of some people for some of the time not only

00:35:17.440 are you allowed to work from home you're allowed to work from a foreign country

00:35:20.080 Thousands

00:35:23.300 I can't remember the numbers

00:35:25.700 It's really small there

00:35:26.600 But it's thousands of them

00:35:27.760 Thousands of them

00:35:30.060 Sweet job

00:35:32.120 So you could be on a beach

00:35:35.280 Couldn't you?

00:35:35.720 Quite possibly on

00:35:37.020 Sunning yourself on the beach at

00:35:40.480 Koh Pan Yang

00:35:42.180 Sipping a

00:35:43.980 Pina Colada

00:35:44.960 Whilst fiddling around with the spreadsheets

00:35:49.780 For your Bank of England job

00:35:51.080 Great

00:35:52.460 Okay

00:35:53.440 Weird

00:35:55.400 Okay

00:35:58.340 What else have we got

00:35:59.380 The male

00:36:00.780 Disgusting slop

00:36:01.820 Globalist slop

00:36:04.200 The male

00:36:04.620 Just like the express

00:36:06.300 Pretending to be right of centre

00:36:08.600 Sometimes

00:36:09.680 They're not

00:36:11.400 When it comes down to it

00:36:12.320 When it boils down to it

00:36:13.220 If you're an actual nationalist

00:36:15.260 Or a patriot

00:36:15.900 Or a nativist

00:36:16.640 They despise you

00:36:18.020 And want you ruined

00:36:18.820 That's the male

00:36:20.900 That's who they are

00:36:22.460 9,300

00:36:26.040 9,300 domestic abusers

00:36:28.760 Set to be released

00:36:30.140 Again, do they care really?

00:36:32.540 Tories and charity bosses accused Burnham

00:36:34.500 Of putting vulnerable women at new risk

00:36:36.780 You wouldn't

00:36:37.720 You don't care about women being vulnerable

00:36:39.840 The male

00:36:40.300 You don't care about that

00:36:42.320 Why are you pretending to?

00:36:44.820 If you cared about it

00:36:45.980 You wouldn't demonise and try and destroy

00:36:47.900 Anyone that talks about

00:36:50.080 Remigration

00:36:51.860 Trying to make it safer for women

00:36:55.280 But today

00:36:57.000 In order to sell a paper

00:36:58.360 £1.30

00:36:59.960 It's interesting

00:37:00.720 Males are significantly cheaper than the express

00:37:02.780 Still £1.30

00:37:04.760 It's not worth it

00:37:05.320 30p

00:37:06.200 Maybe

00:37:06.600 Trying to pretend they care about the safety of women

00:37:10.740 They don't

00:37:11.480 They don't

00:37:12.440 They go with this freak

00:37:14.480 This story is still ongoing

00:37:16.780 Look at him

00:37:17.360 Is he wearing eyeliner?

00:37:19.880 I joke about Andy Burnham wearing eyeliner, guy-liner.

00:37:23.740 He doesn't really.

00:37:24.640 He just happens to have really dark eyelashes.

00:37:27.700 Andy Burnham, doesn't he?

00:37:28.640 No, Sternum Burnham.

00:37:29.780 King of the North, first of his name.

00:37:32.100 I don't think, all joke aside,

00:37:33.780 I don't think Burnham actually applies a guy-liner every morning.

00:37:39.300 This dude looks like he does.

00:37:40.940 I've seen a few pictures where it's like,

00:37:42.520 Are you wearing

00:37:44.780 A bit of mascara there mate

00:37:47.680 I can barely

00:37:51.800 I can barely look at it

00:37:53.760 What a liar and a freak

00:37:56.220 And a charlatan

00:37:57.060 Wrongun

00:37:58.100 Most fantastical life story ever told

00:38:01.920 They're delving into his life more and more

00:38:03.640 Or the things he's claimed

00:38:05.000 That's happened during his life

00:38:07.100 That he's done

00:38:07.800 And it's just a complete

00:38:11.100 A slew of liars

00:38:13.680 Just a cavalcade of nonsense

00:38:15.400 That's not true

00:38:16.820 A Walter Mitty

00:38:18.720 There's all sorts of words you could use, couldn't you?

00:38:21.960 A cheat

00:38:22.540 Don't lie, other than very, very little white liars

00:38:32.460 To save somebody else's embarrassment

00:38:33.940 Never lie

00:38:34.640 Never lie, lie about something big

00:38:37.620 No

00:38:39.300 It's really badly wrong

00:38:42.260 Disgusting

00:38:44.840 Alright, the financial times

00:38:46.780 The venerable financial times

00:38:49.520 This story is reasonably interesting to me

00:38:53.260 Air combat, tomorrow's Top Gun rises

00:38:54.940 They're talking about

00:38:55.560 It's an unmanned

00:38:56.920 It's the next generation of

00:38:58.180 It's effectively fast jets

00:39:01.520 They're unmanned

00:39:02.680 They're not drones

00:39:03.500 It's basically like

00:39:07.060 The next generation of fast jets

00:39:09.320 But they'll be unmanned

00:39:10.900 This one's called the Valkyrie

00:39:12.680 Testing on the Valkyrie

00:39:19.060 There's of course one of the limiting factors

00:39:20.920 In a fast jet

00:39:21.900 Like an F-18 or whatever

00:39:24.720 F-22

00:39:26.180 Typhoon Eurofighter, whatever it is

00:39:28.000 The amount of G's the man inside

00:39:30.520 The amount of G-force the man sitting inside it

00:39:32.680 Can handle

00:39:33.500 That's the limiting factor right

00:39:37.060 you can build an airframe that can sustain much much higher forces than that if you wanted to

00:39:42.320 so if you take the man out of it you can do more incredible things with that vehicle

00:39:48.580 pretty straightforward isn't it all right what have we got here in the mirror

00:39:54.740 the beckhams are still in a feud

00:39:57.640 brooklyn don't care just do not care the life crime thing

00:40:04.540 Grieving families relief

00:40:07.620 40 knives a day off our streets

00:40:09.380 Huge response to blade amnesty appeals

00:40:11.820 Parents say everyone is a life saved

00:40:14.680 We've talked about knife crime before haven't we

00:40:17.720 A number of times

00:40:19.020 I think it's cynical to get like the grieving families

00:40:23.980 Of stab victims

00:40:25.060 And get them to tell us that

00:40:28.280 Our society shouldn't have knives in it now

00:40:34.540 seen that a number of times haven't we

00:40:36.420 you should only be able to buy a cleaver

00:40:40.520 or a knife that's

00:40:42.800 the end of it is rounded off

00:40:44.460 so it's only it would only ever be a slashing

00:40:46.720 weapon not an actual stabbing weapon

00:40:48.580 that's not the point is it

00:40:52.420 it's like if there's more and more

00:40:55.000 incidents of people driving

00:40:56.760 cars into crowds you start thinking about

00:40:58.740 banning cars you've missed the point then

00:41:00.720 haven't you missed the point then

00:41:02.480 Loads more acid attacks happen

00:41:08.080 Let's ban the container

00:41:10.500 That you can hold acid in

00:41:11.980 That particular type of plastic

00:41:13.680 Which acid has no effect on

00:41:15.200 Let's ban that

00:41:16.320 No you're missing the

00:41:17.720 That's not

00:41:19.280 The crux of the issue is it

00:41:22.040 The times

00:41:28.280 The venerable times

00:41:30.520 It's mildly funny

00:41:31.700 not again quote not again what wife thought of burnham's third shot at number 10 just a little

00:41:39.100 story that says andy burnham's wife when he told her i wonder when he did tell her actually i wonder

00:41:45.420 whether i wonder at what point andy burnham realized thought it might actually genuinely

00:41:49.420 be on the cards to kooky starmer anyway apparently when he when he said to her he's gonna go for it

00:41:57.720 do it her response was not again you've we've been through this twice and you failed twice already

00:42:04.140 really all right well she's in the number 10 flat now isn't she above number 10 the first lady of

00:42:15.060 great britain she gets to go to checkers at a weekend if she fancies it got round the clock

00:42:23.120 Protection

00:42:24.640 SAS protection

00:42:25.580 Or whatever it is

00:42:26.280 Not the SAS

00:42:27.080 Sometimes

00:42:28.280 Actually

00:42:29.000 Maybe they're often

00:42:30.720 Ex-SAS dudes

00:42:31.820 Anyway

00:42:32.060 Her name will now go down

00:42:35.720 In the annals of

00:42:36.720 Like the wives

00:42:37.420 Or the spouses

00:42:38.000 Of Prime Ministers

00:42:39.260 Said wives

00:42:40.740 Of course they're our husbands

00:42:41.540 Aren't there

00:42:41.980 Remember Dennis Thatcher

00:42:44.080 She gets to be in that list

00:42:46.860 Alright

00:42:49.420 Nobody does it better than

00:42:52.200 MI6

00:42:52.940 admit French spies

00:42:54.480 mildly interesting

00:42:55.460 the MI6 is our

00:42:56.880 foreign intelligence service

00:42:58.080 MI5 do

00:42:59.640 domestic internal stuff

00:43:01.100 and

00:43:01.260 the equivalent of

00:43:02.400 the FBI sort of

00:43:03.960 and MI6 is

00:43:05.020 foreign intelligence

00:43:05.800 the equivalent of

00:43:06.420 the CIA basically

00:43:07.600 the French say

00:43:10.000 we do it best

00:43:10.780 well the article said

00:43:12.900 a number of different

00:43:13.540 intelligence services

00:43:14.560 said

00:43:15.380 that we're quite good

00:43:18.180 at it still

00:43:18.720 okay

00:43:21.180 Borrowing splurge in bid to boost economy

00:43:24.460 Ministers set to exploit change in fiscal rules

00:43:27.320 This is a classic example

00:43:29.140 This is a classic example of how governments are underhanded

00:43:34.640 And a pack of cheaters and liars really

00:43:38.400 It's saying

00:43:39.920 This is just so classic

00:43:42.120 That the government itself

00:43:43.840 The way it measures various things

00:43:48.080 Fiscal matters

00:43:48.760 The way it measures them

00:43:49.920 It's going to tweak those

00:43:52.140 To make things appear better

00:43:54.500 So they can borrow more

00:43:56.360 Under Rachel Reeves

00:43:59.600 Apparently it was one of the last things she did

00:44:01.180 Under the Rachel Reeves chancellorship

00:44:03.300 She was set to

00:44:04.940 And has now tweaked

00:44:06.560 The way the government

00:44:08.060 Count equity in certain companies

00:44:11.760 That's basically what it is

00:44:14.880 In other words

00:44:16.540 Infrastructure

00:44:17.480 The way the government

00:44:19.900 itself counts and measures things they're going to do it in a slightly different way

00:44:25.120 so that it seems so the whole picture seems more rosy is nothing's actually changed

00:44:31.620 yeah nothing's actually changed but now things seem a bit better

00:44:36.880 so that they can borrow more

00:44:41.040 so they can borrow more to spend more

00:44:49.900 Borrowing splurge

00:44:52.280 In bid to boost economy

00:44:54.080 You can spend your way out of financial ruin

00:44:59.380 No

00:45:02.080 No

00:45:03.540 We've already

00:45:05.420 Spending way beyond our means

00:45:08.140 Find that we spend

00:45:09.860 An insane amount of money

00:45:11.420 Paying off the interest

00:45:12.840 The interest on what we've already borrowed

00:45:15.560 They'll tweak around the edges

00:45:18.200 So they can borrow more

00:45:19.420 Because they won't stop spending

00:45:21.160 Burnham and the Fabians

00:45:24.040 Champagne socialist pinkos in number 10

00:45:26.600 Won't stop spending

00:45:28.220 Want to spend more

00:45:29.840 Crazy

00:45:32.080 Imagine being in an insane amount of debt

00:45:34.520 And you just get out another credit card or something

00:45:36.700 Unsustainable

00:45:40.080 Completely unsustainable

00:45:41.240 Completely unsustainable

00:45:43.960 Terrible

00:45:44.780 Insane really

00:45:46.040 Insane

00:45:46.700 Kind of

00:45:47.320 We've got some of Andy Burnham's financial advisor people close to him

00:45:54.200 Are quite literally Marxists, literally

00:45:57.020 It's not just like a slur from me

00:46:00.440 They would describe themselves as Marxists

00:46:02.920 They hate capitalism

00:46:08.160 Capitalism is a system that needs to be ripped down and destroyed

00:46:12.560 Blow it up from the inside

00:46:16.460 if necessary let's see we've got all right they're the front pages there you go they're

00:46:24.080 the increasingly infuriating and absurd front pages from fleet street today all right should

00:46:29.240 we do our poll we look at our poll about this time of show don't we harry can you bring that

00:46:32.680 up for me i think i think we did we we asked the chat for a poll for an idea didn't we today is

00:46:39.700 that right oh we did yeah okay okay most mornings you watch the bow show regularly most mornings

00:46:45.500 we just come up with a poll before the show starts and put it up but sometimes we haven't got time

00:46:50.800 or we can't think of something or we just want to give you the uh you guys the opportunity

00:46:55.760 it's quite often people say oh that poll was lame or that was a low energy poll or whatever

00:47:01.020 something like you let you guys pick it so harry asked the chat so i haven't even read it yet

00:47:05.500 whatever it is it's what you guys wanted the poll to be today i really don't know what it's gonna

00:47:10.420 be so i'm going to read this now uh in real time will it be something silly and flippant

00:47:17.860 or will it be something really interesting and or spicy what we got okay we've got how long do

00:47:23.860 you think it will take for the ai bubble to burst oh okay it is reasonably interesting reasonably

00:47:29.220 serious um we gave the option of one year five years it won't ever burst it already has burst

00:47:37.220 all right and what we got oh it's a fair split among all those things just about edging it

00:47:45.040 on 28 is one year again the question is how long do you think it will take for the ai bubble to

00:47:51.420 burst you guys think one year 28 of you say that it's very close it won't ever burst 27

00:48:00.240 if you say that it won't ever burst all right

00:48:10.320 26 of you say five years and coming in fourth but still not that far away with 19 say it has already

00:48:19.520 burst opinion completely split there completely completely split interesting interesting though

00:48:28.480 i think it is good to have a poll not maybe not every single day but a poll where it's like a

00:48:34.400 serious question and it splits opinion rather than just teeing you up for something

00:48:39.020 you know like yes was it yesterday where we said do you think the military should be deployed in

00:48:44.420 the channel to protect our borders and like 97 98 of you said yes slam dunk isn't it so obviously

00:48:51.580 so all right well opinion completely split on the ai bubble there all right it's nearly 10 to

00:48:57.920 Should we have a quick look at some of the other websites

00:49:00.540 I can't spend a great deal of time after 9 today

00:49:04.980 I'm on the main podcast later by the way

00:49:07.120 Oh do make sure you're subscribed to this channel

00:49:10.900 Hit the thumbs up

00:49:12.220 Do hit the thumbs up if you can

00:49:13.700 Get the bell on

00:49:14.780 And tune in at 1pm

00:49:19.040 British Summer Time today for another podcast

00:49:22.580 It's me Big Harry and

00:49:24.980 Luca is it?

00:49:27.920 Maybe Stelios?

00:49:28.720 Definitely me and Big Harry.

00:49:29.960 All right.

00:49:32.800 What other stories were there that were interesting, I thought, of note?

00:49:38.360 Have a look.

00:49:39.780 Oh, yeah, this guy.

00:49:40.320 Do you remember Perez Hilton?

00:49:43.840 Harry, does that name ring a bell to you?

00:49:45.700 Is it already old news?

00:49:47.780 No, no clue.

00:49:48.660 You don't know Perez Hilton?

00:49:50.040 All right.

00:49:50.760 For people who might not know then, he was just like a...

00:49:53.080 He's a blogger in America.

00:49:55.940 A celebrity blogger.

00:49:57.240 who back at perhaps more in the early 2000s or the 2010s time he would quite often sometimes

00:50:05.660 um breaking news would come out through his blog like he seemed to have loads of connections and

00:50:11.180 know people like know like the rumor you know like a bit like tmz something like that

00:50:16.360 and he would it might break first he might break it first here is hilton well apparently he was

00:50:24.280 live streaming the other day and he was covered in blood and wielding a knife and threatening

00:50:29.400 self-harm and stuff and the cops had to go around

00:50:36.040 according to the mail i don't follow perry's hilton i wasn't watching that live stream so

00:50:42.120 there you go all right

00:50:47.400 what else have we got um yeah look at this look at this

00:50:51.720 this looks worse than it is don't worry you're not watching someone die here don't worry it's

00:50:59.500 not snuff footage there's a drone the reality of daily life for ordinary ukrainians living close to

00:51:05.320 the front remotely operated a russian drone chases vegetable vendor yuri around his hearse on market

00:51:14.360 stall

00:51:18.760 the menacing buzz before it swoops

00:51:24.680 miraculously yuri survived suffering shrapnel wounds concussion

00:51:29.240 and trauma i showed him so yeah he's not dead

00:51:36.040 i mean he's pretty badly wounded but not even sort of mortally

00:51:38.920 you know not sort of terribly terribly when lucky right

00:51:42.360 the reason why i even show that at all talk about that at all is just because um

00:51:51.960 that could that could be sort of is the future of all sorts of wars might be something like that one

00:51:57.480 day you might find yourself he was just a completely pretty much as far as i understand

00:52:01.080 as far as the reporting goes he was like a pretty normal dude who didn't really have anything to do

00:52:06.520 with like the ukraine russian war effort either way he was just a again if you believe the report

00:52:13.880 uh just a a vegetable seller dude street seller dude why a russian drone would want to kill him

00:52:22.280 specifically doesn't really make sense to me i don't know why but i anyway just saying

00:52:28.200 that might be you one day

00:52:29.880 Finding yourself

00:52:33.360 Oh there's a drone

00:52:34.100 It seems to be coming after me

00:52:37.940 For whatever reason

00:52:38.820 You find yourself running around a car

00:52:42.260 To try and get away from it

00:52:43.560 Or whatever

00:52:43.960 Trying to find a little bit of cover

00:52:47.400 To duck in under it

00:52:48.280 Because there's this drone thing

00:52:50.720 Horrible isn't it

00:52:57.560 Horrible, scary, terrifying

00:52:59.540 He was very lucky to escape with his life

00:53:03.520 Donald Trump poised to give Iran greater control over Straits of Hormuz

00:53:07.860 Says the Express website

00:53:13.180 Difficult, difficult to say that what's going on with the State Department

00:53:22.260 Mr Trump, the White House, the State Department and the Pentagon's policy with Iran

00:53:26.100 Has not completely come off the rails

00:53:28.040 Surely it's completely come off the rails now

00:53:32.340 Remember the first day when Trump did that address

00:53:37.080 With the white baseball cap on from Mar-a-Lago

00:53:39.720 We've struck in Iran

00:53:41.960 We've killed the...

00:53:43.280 It's about regime change in Iran

00:53:45.780 Wiped out all their leadership

00:53:49.020 All their army and navy's

00:53:51.280 Within the first two, three weeks of it

00:53:53.560 All their army and navy's is just destroyed

00:53:56.040 It is over

00:53:57.240 It's only going to be a few week thing

00:53:58.660 Now here we are

00:54:01.180 Six months later or something

00:54:03.520 Trump poised to give Iran

00:54:06.540 Greater control of the Straits of Hormuz

00:54:08.360 I'm not

00:54:11.480 I cannot buy

00:54:13.580 The Steve Turley type angle

00:54:15.760 That this is all 4D chess

00:54:17.160 5D chess

00:54:18.680 Trump, Rubio and Hegseth

00:54:22.700 Are masters of strategy

00:54:25.580 Don't look like it, does it?

00:54:32.040 Don't think so, mate

00:54:33.080 Alright, let's have a look at On This Day in History

00:54:36.800 Shall we?

00:54:39.180 The 5th of August

00:54:40.200 Down through the centuries, nae millennia

00:54:42.520 What happened of note?

00:54:45.000 Right, what we got, what we got

00:54:45.820 On the 5th of August, in the year 910

00:54:48.420 Oh yeah, I read this one

00:54:49.420 It's wrong

00:54:50.500 The researchers at onthisdayinhistory.com

00:54:54.840 I've got it wrong I'm afraid

00:54:57.880 Quite simply

00:54:58.760 It says

00:54:59.800 On the 5th of August

00:55:02.220 In the year 910

00:55:03.540 The last major Viking army to raid England

00:55:06.520 Led by Edward and Earl Ethelred

00:55:13.640 That's not Ethelred the Unready by the way

00:55:15.640 And there's another person called Ethelred

00:55:18.360 Is defeated at the Battle of Tatton Hall

00:55:21.700 By the Allied forces of Mercia and Wessex

00:55:24.840 Yeah, so that King Edward there

00:55:27.180 They're talking about his

00:55:27.720 Edward the Elder

00:55:30.580 It would be

00:55:31.900 This is before

00:55:34.720 He's the father

00:55:37.000 Of Athelstan

00:55:39.220 I mean

00:55:40.460 Alright

00:55:41.460 Do you think on my history themed show

00:55:45.360 Behind the paywall on OTC.com

00:55:47.180 Do consider sign up for a £5 a month

00:55:48.840 Do you think there

00:55:50.420 I've got hundreds and hundreds of hours

00:55:51.860 Without exaggeration

00:55:52.700 Quite literally hundreds and hundreds of hours

00:55:54.100 Of history themed content

00:55:55.140 Do you think I talk all about the Anglo-Saxon period there

00:55:57.720 Do you think I talk all about Athelstan

00:55:59.500 Edward the Elder

00:56:00.840 The Viking invasions

00:56:02.960 During the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th centuries

00:56:06.740 Oh yeah, it's all there

00:56:08.360 Hours and hours of it actually

00:56:10.220 To say that

00:56:13.140 In the year 910 was the last

00:56:15.920 Major Viking army

00:56:17.980 Raid on England

00:56:18.800 No, sorry, sorry, no

00:56:20.780 That's just incorrect

00:56:22.960 Straight up incorrect

00:56:24.720 It's not like, well, you could make the argument that

00:56:27.540 No, no, it's just wrong

00:56:28.620 It's just like saying

00:56:31.400 Liverpool Football Club haven't won any trophies since the 1970s

00:56:35.880 No, no, no, that's wrong

00:56:37.200 That's just wrong

00:56:38.660 It's not like you could

00:56:41.280 You could argue

00:56:42.440 If you look at it in this particular way

00:56:45.040 You could say that, no, no, no

00:56:46.720 I mean, what about the invasion of

00:56:52.060 Falkbeard and Canute

00:56:54.680 In the early 11th century

00:56:57.140 Like 1013 or whatever it is

00:56:59.580 After the St Bryce's Day Massacre

00:57:01.420 What about that?

00:57:02.760 Say the last major Viking invasion was in 910

00:57:05.540 No, sorry, incorrect

00:57:07.140 Hate to be a stickler

00:57:09.380 For the facts

00:57:10.860 But there you go

00:57:11.920 Alright, on this day in 1305

00:57:14.560 Scottish resistance leader William Wallace

00:57:17.000 William Wallace

00:57:19.020 Is captured by the English near Glasgow

00:57:21.760 And transported to London for trial and execution

00:57:25.180 Do you think I've got long full content

00:57:28.440 Talking all about long shanks, Edward I?

00:57:33.720 Yeah

00:57:34.200 And of course I talked there a bit about William Wallace

00:57:37.200 One of the earlier ones in conversation with Cole Benjamin

00:57:40.680 You know that Cole Benjamin? You ever heard of him?

00:57:44.340 So I've got a cat

00:57:45.000 Yeah

00:57:48.100 There's a lot to say about William Wallace

00:57:51.160 So I mean this isn't a history theme show

00:57:53.140 I'm just supposed to whip through these a bit

00:57:54.380 The depiction you might have seen

00:57:57.000 In that Mel Gibson film

00:57:58.320 Braveheart

00:57:59.740 Very very loose

00:58:05.320 Connection to

00:58:06.960 The historical fact

00:58:08.520 That film very loose

00:58:10.960 But there was

00:58:13.600 There was a real

00:58:15.060 William Wallace at least

00:58:16.160 And he was captured and executed by the English

00:58:20.800 All right, for treason, sedition, being an enemy

00:58:27.000 Okay, on this day in 1583, Humphrey Gilbert claims Newfoundland for the English crown

00:58:34.140 Establishing the first English colony in North America and the beginning of the British Empire

00:58:38.420 It's funny actually, different historians claim different things

00:58:44.060 It's like the beginning of the British Empire

00:58:46.120 You'll find some people say

00:58:48.760 It might be like

00:58:49.560 Rowan Oak Island

00:58:51.320 Or

00:58:51.740 Jamestown

00:58:53.040 Or

00:58:54.420 Things in other parts of the world

00:58:56.500 On this day in history

00:58:59.740 Dot com today

00:59:00.560 Decided to say

00:59:01.340 Decided to say

00:59:02.540 It's that

00:59:02.940 Newfoundland

00:59:03.660 But

00:59:04.000 Alright

00:59:06.060 Okay

00:59:06.660 This one I don't know

00:59:09.500 A great deal about

00:59:10.060 I must say

00:59:10.460 On this day in 1716

00:59:12.280 The battle of

00:59:13.140 Petrovaredin

00:59:14.740 And that was the Habsburg forces under Prince Eugenie of Savoy

00:59:20.220 Now I know a bit about him

00:59:21.200 I don't know much about this battle and this campaign

00:59:24.260 I know a bit about Eugenie of Savoy

00:59:26.460 It says he decisively defeated a larger Ottoman army

00:59:30.480 Led by Grand Vizier Sylladar Damat Ali Pasha

00:59:34.560 Who dies in the fighting

00:59:36.320 Securing Habsburg control of a Petro-Varadin fortress

00:59:41.000 Okay, as I say

00:59:42.060 I don't know much about that particular campaign and that battle

00:59:44.720 But Eugene of Savoy is

00:59:47.340 Quite famous and important

00:59:49.700 I mean during like the Battle of Blenheim

00:59:51.860 And the War of the Spanish Succession

00:59:53.740 And all sorts of things

00:59:54.960 He's an interesting figure

00:59:56.220 Really interesting figure

00:59:57.900 But that particular battle

01:00:02.420 I don't know much about

01:00:03.400 Okay, alright

01:00:06.140 I'm not Eastern European or

01:00:09.800 A Turk

01:00:11.180 So there's no real reason why I would

01:00:13.560 Okay, on this day in 1864, the Battle of Mobile Bay, won by the Union Navy, led by Rear Admiral David Farragut, with the cry,

01:00:21.740 Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.

01:00:28.420 I think I've got all sorts of content about the American Civil War.

01:00:31.940 Also on my own channel, my own channel, HistoryBroad, where there's no paywall there.

01:00:39.440 It's all free there.

01:00:40.700 You can see it going over there

01:00:42.600 Maybe subscribing

01:00:43.680 Getting the pen on

01:00:45.820 All sorts of content

01:00:48.720 About the American Civil War

01:00:50.540 There as well

01:00:51.140 That was

01:00:51.880 I mean that's late in the war

01:00:53.640 Isn't it

01:00:53.900 1864

01:00:54.400 1864 is late in the war

01:01:00.220 And Mobile Bay

01:01:03.020 Is like the Gulf of Mexico

01:01:04.240 Isn't it

01:01:04.980 So

01:01:05.240 And

01:01:06.520 General Grant

01:01:08.240 Ulysses S. Grant

01:01:09.260 I'd already secured the Mississippi way up in America

01:01:18.300 So it was just the last thing to take Mobile Bay

01:01:24.180 But still, it was defended by the Confederacy

01:01:27.580 The Confederate Navy, what was left of it for what it was worth

01:01:32.000 And so late in the war, the Confederacy had been blockaded

01:01:37.300 Or being starved into submission

01:01:39.680 Like Richmond is in a terrible state

01:01:43.340 By that point

01:01:44.100 But nonetheless

01:01:46.200 It did take one final push

01:01:48.240 And a bit of bravery

01:01:49.460 From the Union Navy

01:01:50.700 To take that

01:01:52.240 Alright, okay

01:01:55.140 Let's do our Rumble Rants and Super Chats

01:01:59.560 Let me do that with my mic beam

01:02:00.980 So I can see the left hand side of my screen

01:02:02.360 Do you think Global Church History will be in at number one?

01:02:04.620 I hope he is

01:02:05.220 i hope he is let's have a look i've got a fair few rumble rents today

01:02:10.520 right yes global church's history global church history is in at number one

01:02:16.340 so he's the reigning defending and still champ is you say today in 25 a.d liu zhu

01:02:29.060 i'll be ancient chinese history that's not my forte got a long form bit of content about the

01:02:34.140 first emperor which is like the second century bc beyond that and all about that in a fair bit of

01:02:41.060 detail beyond that my knowledge isn't great so like first century ad first century bc

01:02:46.400 chinese history anyway what have you said today in 25 ad liuzhou a descendant of the earlier

01:02:54.560 western hand founded the eastern hand dynasty okay i can't add much to that i'm afraid he is

01:03:00.560 one of the worst sort of big um blind spots in my knowledge is decent ancient and Chinese

01:03:10.480 medieval history i've got a couple of like i say the first emperor i know about but did

01:03:15.520 along from content on it

01:03:19.860 chinshu hongi

01:03:21.660 beyond that

01:03:23.280 should know more by now

01:03:27.440 maybe I'll make it a point to

01:03:30.700 study it a bit more closely

01:03:32.700 okay and the second factoid from Global Church History says

01:03:35.960 in 1192 Richard the Lionheart, oh that's it, that's back in my wheelhouse

01:03:41.360 tell you what, Richard the Lionheart, the Coeur de Lyon, won at Jaffa, enabling a favourable

01:03:47.820 treaty for the Crusaders, definitely got loads of long-form content, all about the Coeur

01:03:51.640 de Lyon, Richard I, Richard the Lionhearted, son of Henry II, and his third crusade, that's

01:03:58.080 right at the end of it, isn't it, retaking Jaffa, he's got to near Jerusalem, because

01:04:06.180 That's the point of it all isn't it

01:04:08.540 Is to retake

01:04:10.160 The church of the Holy Sepulchre

01:04:11.640 In Jerusalem

01:04:13.680 He got just about within

01:04:15.760 Apparently legend has it

01:04:17.880 You could just see

01:04:19.800 The sun glinting off some of the

01:04:22.140 Roofs and spires of Jerusalem

01:04:24.360 On the distance that's how close he got to it

01:04:26.180 Saladin

01:04:27.920 Salahuddin

01:04:29.740 And the Muslim forces

01:04:31.640 Prevented him from actually getting there

01:04:33.660 And a lot of his own side had

01:04:35.560 Couldn't be relied upon

01:04:37.900 I mean the King of France, Philip II

01:04:39.280 Had already gone home

01:04:40.160 So Richard the Lionheart and his third crusade

01:04:43.520 Never actually did get to Jerusalem

01:04:45.320 And rescue the Church of the Holy Sepulchre

01:04:47.200 And on the way back

01:04:49.180 Jaffa's right on the coast, right

01:04:50.760 He had to retake that

01:04:53.900 And use it as the

01:04:55.460 Port of

01:04:56.520 Disembarkation

01:04:58.040 But they kept it for a while

01:05:01.240 The Franks, the Western

01:05:02.860 Knights, kept it for quite a while after that

01:05:05.560 one of the last footholds wasn't it that an acre jaffa an acre all right the last toe holds

01:05:11.760 anyway all right thanks for that global church history moving on then dragon lady chris says

01:05:17.640 i love it when you rumble on about history carry on my good man thanks cheers it is my forte

01:06:59.020 Okay

01:07:02.480 Aerospace technology and industries

01:07:05.840 Are interesting to me

01:07:07.180 And the next two are from

01:07:09.660 Pigdog5150

01:07:15.900 Yesterday, it was a very very spicy one

01:07:18.120 I was hoping

01:07:20.080 Your guest may have been there

01:07:21.580 And I would have liked to have heard from someone

01:07:24.100 In my store about an outright

01:07:26.080 Islam ban

01:07:29.020 an outright ban

01:07:32.380 and the second one you put is i really hope that rupert and restore do win and that censorship

01:07:36.700 rules that restrict telling the truth are removed thank you for your hard work bow and everyone at

01:07:41.580 low seat so thank you i appreciate that appreciate that yeah in bows britain if i found myself

01:07:47.900 absolute arbiter of all things sort of an absolute monarch like a diocletian style emperor which

01:07:55.180 Whatever I said was law now

01:07:56.900 I found myself in that situation

01:07:59.740 I would rescind nearly all speech laws

01:08:04.840 There would have to be some

01:08:06.580 In a working society

01:08:08.100 You do need

01:08:08.840 You do actually need like liable laws

01:08:10.640 You do need that

01:08:13.020 And there's a few other axioms aren't there

01:08:15.580 Like don't scream fire

01:08:17.320 In a crowded theatre

01:08:18.880 Where there isn't a fire

01:08:19.740 Which causes a stampede

01:08:20.820 And kills people

01:08:21.340 You know

01:08:21.720 There's a few things

01:08:22.720 We can't have 100% freedom of speech and expression

01:08:27.900 100% because it's actually dangerous

01:08:29.940 But those examples are few and far between

01:08:33.020 It's nowhere near what we've got now

01:08:35.320 In Bose Britain

01:08:37.800 I would strip away all of it

01:08:41.200 As much as I possibly could

01:08:42.560 Other than those things like I mentioned

01:08:45.880 You can't just libel someone

01:08:47.580 You can't just accuse someone

01:08:50.620 Some random person who's completely innocent

01:08:52.500 like oh i don't know eamon holmes someone who's completely innocent you can't just go out there

01:08:56.800 and start saying they're a murderer or a sex criminal whatever you can't do it it's not

01:09:01.440 society needs that to function but beyond that

01:09:06.720 yeah well thank you thank you for the rumble rants okay two more rumble rants one is from

01:09:15.660 a bone apple tea party who says no one does spying for the french better than

01:09:22.220 mi6 philby you talk about um our spy from the 50s philby um kim philby from the 50s and 60s

01:09:36.620 you put philby italia today would get knighthoods keep on trucking geronimo love the show geronimo

01:09:46.380 because i may have a tiny amount of native american indian ancestry may tiny amount

01:09:52.540 may just be noise in the dna anyway geronimo i guess you are talking about kim philby

01:09:59.740 of the cambridge cambridge five i am so close to doing long-form content about kim philby

01:10:08.200 fascinated by the cambridge five and kim philby and that whole spy ring fascinated by it have

01:10:15.520 been for years and years and years, read around the topic, loads, threatening to do something

01:10:22.720 about the Cambridge Five, more like six of them actually. In fact, there's loads of them,

01:10:27.800 you always think it's just those, no, there's loads, it's way bigger than most people think,

01:10:33.100 when you start looking into it in detail. I suppose the most famous one, Kim Philby,

01:10:38.620 arched by a really high up at the Soviet, in fact, leading the Soviet desk at MI6,

01:10:43.820 He's supposed to be our grand spire

01:10:47.120 Against the Soviets

01:10:48.200 In the height of the Cold War

01:10:49.380 He was a Soviet

01:10:50.520 Well I mean he wasn't a Soviet

01:10:52.740 He was an Englishman

01:10:53.380 He went to Cambridge

01:10:53.980 And was very very well to do in English

01:10:55.700 But he was working for Stalin

01:10:57.080 When he finally realised he was going to get caught

01:11:02.540 He defected to Russia

01:11:03.920 And they made him a colonel in the KGB

01:11:06.000 And he lived the rest of his life in Russia

01:11:08.300 That's how much of a traitor he was

01:11:10.300 The head of MI6 Soviet desk

01:11:13.480 an ultimate traitor ken yeah kim philby

01:11:19.880 i've got to do content about it scene i will i will all right fallen firebird hello bo as a

01:11:29.980 historical polymath you probably know oh that's nice you're describing me as a historical polymath

01:11:33.980 a bit of an all-rounder polymath though i like that i'll take that i'll accept that

01:11:38.320 as a historical polymath

01:11:40.560 you probably know this

01:11:41.680 but the persians valued truth as the highest good

01:11:44.660 you talk about the ancient persians

01:11:46.100 and lying as the highest evil

01:11:48.700 it doesn't only disorder society

01:11:50.720 but your own soul, yeah

01:11:52.240 nothing really good comes from it

01:11:58.300 almost always

01:11:59.440 if I'd lied about something big

01:12:03.540 and it meant I got rich off the back of it

01:12:06.240 say i wouldn't feel comfortable with it i wouldn't feel comfortable with it the whole time

01:12:10.640 yeah the ancient persians like the alexander era persians like 300 bc or whatever

01:12:21.180 they say whether it's true or not they say it's part of their society that they

01:12:27.080 very very valued the truth yeah good point okay all right uh the that's the last one

01:12:35.200 All right, so the YouTube Superchats, Harry, if you can bring that up on my screen for me.

01:12:39.000 If you can make it so.

01:12:41.780 Engage.

01:12:42.440 All right, there we are.

01:12:43.200 All right, good.

01:12:43.940 We've got 10 or so.

01:12:49.200 STUK8P, again in first.

01:12:50.860 I've noticed the trend, the pattern there, is in first.

01:12:54.840 It's the YouTube equivalent of Global Church History.

01:12:58.220 I was at a straight end with an Eamon Holmes joke.

01:13:00.500 Eamon Holmes ate my hamster.

01:13:02.100 The man has no soul.

01:13:05.840 Ames, if you ever see this, it's a silly in-joke off the back of the fact I once accidentally

01:13:13.280 confused you with Hugh Edwards, accusing you completely accidentally in good faith of the

01:13:21.100 crimes of Hugh Edwards. And ever since then, it's an in-joke now on this show that you've

01:13:26.100 done loads of terrible things that we know you haven't. It's a bad taste joke. Sorry.

01:13:31.000 Get well seen

01:13:32.260 Sincerely

01:13:33.600 Genuinely

01:13:33.980 Get well seen

01:13:34.480 Alright

01:13:38.380 For anyone who might not know

01:13:40.520 He's foreign

01:13:40.900 Or too young

01:13:41.720 Was it

01:13:42.760 It was

01:13:44.000 Freddy Star

01:13:44.820 Ate my hamster

01:13:45.640 That was the thing

01:13:46.660 It was like a real

01:13:47.360 Slop headline

01:13:48.200 In like The Sun

01:13:49.040 Or The Star

01:13:49.640 Or something

01:13:49.980 Or The People

01:13:50.900 That Freddy Star

01:13:52.180 Ate someone's hamster

01:13:53.240 I don't think he even did

01:13:55.840 I don't even know the details

01:13:56.540 I don't think he did

01:13:57.100 I think it was just a

01:13:57.880 Really insane

01:14:00.060 Throw away

01:14:00.640 Headline

01:14:01.180 Like that

01:14:02.280 A double decker

01:14:03.320 London double decker bus

01:14:04.540 Has been spotted on the moon

01:14:05.660 No it hasn't

01:14:07.060 Why are you reporting that

01:14:08.140 It's obvious nonsense

01:14:09.280 Elvis and Bruce Lee

01:14:13.160 Are still alive somewhere

01:14:14.280 Are they

01:14:15.400 Freddie Starr ate my hamster

01:14:17.620 Did he

01:14:18.020 Anyway that's what that is

01:14:20.600 That's what it's a reference to

01:14:21.820 Anyway doesn't know

01:14:23.620 Alright

01:14:23.840 Calzetti says

01:14:25.620 9-11 was high key sus

01:14:28.500 yeah i've got some questions about what happened that day in 2001 on the 9th of september in the

01:14:37.040 year 2001 in the skies above washington pennsylvania and new york yeah i've written articles about it

01:14:43.400 as well at least well at least two articles about it i've got some serious questions

01:14:48.720 that have never been properly answered about that what happened that day

01:14:53.880 The 9-11 Commission didn't cover all the bases

01:15:01.420 And answer some pretty pertinent questions

01:15:05.940 Just didn't address them

01:15:08.120 The way the Warren Commission did

01:15:11.540 Same thing

01:15:12.860 Might characterise it as a whitewash

01:15:16.700 Quite blackpilled said

01:16:43.560 He's much funnier

01:16:44.380 He became really like

01:16:45.460 Sort of mainstream

01:16:46.180 Didn't he Harry Hill

01:16:47.100 Sort of a normal staple

01:16:48.720 Of everyday TV

01:16:49.880 When he was first on the scene

01:16:51.320 As like a stand up

01:16:52.380 He was a bit more surreal

01:16:54.500 A bit more like Vic and Bob

01:16:55.560 A bit more

01:16:56.100 Much funnier

01:16:57.820 I liked Harry Hill

01:16:58.580 The original old

01:17:00.560 Early Harry Hill

01:17:02.480 Okay

01:17:03.620 Rodney

01:17:04.320 That's his name

01:17:06.360 Says

01:17:06.700 I know it's been said before

01:17:11.320 Millions must go

01:17:12.460 Aim high

01:17:19.960 otherwise we get a sectarian nightmare along tribal lines racial and religious

01:17:26.660 millions must go they must

01:17:32.140 okay punish the wrong k2h says on this day in 1980 i was born oh happy birthday

01:18:00.020 just turned 21 it's all fun and games when you're that young oh yeah birthday brilliant let's

01:18:05.340 celebrate let's go and have fun and celebrate it's a great thing when you get old it's not

01:18:11.360 a great thing anymore it's like oh one year closer to death a little bit anyway it's not that bad

01:18:20.520 but it's like it's not really a thing to celebrate much anymore

01:18:24.540 it's like uh well anyway i hope maybe that's just me maybe that's just me but i hope you have a

01:18:32.700 great day punish the wrong k2h happy birthday to you many happy returns okay uh the last two here

01:18:41.340 Mr. Gently Benevolent says

01:18:44.040 Talking Turley

01:18:46.160 Is the ultimate cope merchant

01:18:47.700 Yeah yeah I mean

01:18:48.940 Yeah I think he is

01:18:50.280 He would tell you

01:18:53.660 It's a grand strategy to identify

01:18:55.720 Launch sites if America was nuked

01:18:57.920 Yeah I mean

01:19:01.680 I don't watch Turley loads

01:19:05.320 I watch him a little bit

01:19:06.340 I watch him a little bit to sort of see

01:19:08.100 The same reason why you would read

01:19:10.200 the guardian or watch um politics joe or something is to see what the left are talking about see

01:19:18.380 where their mind is not because you agree with it and like it you know i do the same with turley a

01:19:23.500 bit it's not because i love turley's takes i think he's brilliant and all his takes are great you see

01:19:28.440 what might turley's take be on this it'd be interesting just to know just to see

01:19:33.140 um although i must say again i don't watch him religiously at all at all i watch him from time

01:19:42.360 to time i would say maybe a third maybe as much as a half of his takes aren't too bad

01:19:48.660 which isn't a great hit and miss ratio is it half it's not terrible it's not like james o'brien

01:19:56.960 where it's literally nothing he says is good ever half not bad but half isn't half is like

01:20:04.580 as you said what did you call it ultimate cope merchant yeah if half of your takes are just copium

01:20:11.280 any good is that good yeah not really no i agree i agree with him

01:20:16.780 i remember when trump lost to biden the amount of well it was a stolen election wasn't it

01:20:26.160 Probably, almost certainly

01:20:27.160 Looks increasingly like it was

01:20:29.120 But the amount of cope coming out of Turley at that point

01:20:32.940 Sort of lost his mind a little bit

01:20:36.840 But I don't mind him, I don't mind him

01:20:39.160 He's alright

01:20:40.440 He's effectively on our side of the aisle, isn't he?

01:20:46.860 Better than being a subversive pinko

01:20:49.180 Alright

01:20:51.580 Acid Helm, AC1D Helm

01:20:54.540 Says

01:22:01.660 other than phone calls and text messages i deliberately don't i deliberately don't because

01:22:08.080 i would be on it all the time like if i had twitter on my phone i know that almost every

01:22:13.240 spare moment i'd be like let's have a look at twitter and i don't want to do that

01:22:16.780 so i i deliberately maybe it's really old boomer old school maybe i'm being weird

01:22:24.600 i actively don't want my phone to be one more screen i can just do everything on the internet

01:22:33.480 that's how i do it anyway works for me i'm happy with that all right that's the um
