| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Dershow. Since the last time we spoke, Queen Elizabeth II has died |
| 0:09.6 | at an old age and having lived a very long life, having served as the British monarch |
| 0:18.5 | longer than anybody in history in the monarchy, goes back a lot of years. So that's quite |
| 0:25.2 | a record, one that was unlikely to be beaten. She became a Queen at a very young age through |
| 0:34.1 | an accident. Her uncle Edward abdicated. He was a virulent Nazi. He was married by one of the |
| 0:47.7 | leaders of the Nazi party to an American divorced woman and the excuse for him leaving the throne, |
| 0:55.2 | was that he was marrying a divorced person, of course, the current King married a divorced |
| 1:01.2 | person as well. It was just an excuse. I think the reason he really advocated is because |
| 1:05.5 | he was a Nazi and Britain was at war with Nazi Germany, not quite, but they were on the way to |
| 1:12.0 | war with Nazi Germany and the idea of having Hitler at Myra as King of a country that was fighting |
| 1:18.7 | for its life was obviously not acceptable. But as the result of his abdication, his brother became |
| 1:26.5 | King and as a result of his brother dying at a relatively young age, his eldest daughter, |
| 1:35.1 | Elizabeth, became the Queen back 71 years ago. And so she reigned for a long, long time |
| 1:46.7 | with appropriate distinction, not much as demanded of the Queen. She doesn't participate in politics, |
| 1:57.6 | she obviously accepts the new Prime Minister, says goodbye to the old Prime Minister and travels |
| 2:05.8 | to most parts of the world. By the way, she never went to Israel and that's never been fully |
| 2:11.6 | explained, but she went to many, many other parts of the world and generally was a fairly admirable |
| 2:22.4 | person. The served people who have wished her a painful death, who have made horrible statements |
| 2:34.1 | about her should be condemned in the court of public opinion. I don't believe in the notion |
| 2:41.1 | do not speak ill of the dead. Certain dead people should be spoken ill of the old joke about the |
| 2:49.4 | Hitler goes through a fortune teller and says I want to know when I'm going to die and the |
| 2:53.2 | fortune tells us I can't tell you exactly when you're going to die, but I can tell you you're going |
