UK Column News - 19th September 2025 · UK Column Radio

0:08
Good afternoon. It's Friday the 19th of
0:10
September 2025, just after 1:00. Welcome to UK called News.
0:13
I'm your host Mike Robinson, my Co host in studio today, Patrick
0:16
Hennigson. Welcome to the program, Patrick.
0:18
Great to be with you, Mike. Journalist Mark Anderson joins
0:20
us by video link from the United States.
0:22
Later in the program. We're going to be looking at
0:24
rising censorship in the US, the Civil War erupting in the Corbin
0:29
Sultana camp, MI 6, taking to social media, would you believe,
0:32
and US claims of making their children healthy again.
0:36
But we're going to begin today with more on the Trump visit to
0:40
the UK. So Donald Trump has gone home
0:43
after a day with King Charles on Wednesday and then a day with
0:47
Keir Starmer yesterday. And it must have been very
0:49
exciting for him. Now, I'm going to apologise for
0:52
doing this in advance, but let's begin with an impression of what
0:56
happened on Wednesday at Windsor Castle, because this all
0:58
happened after the news programme on Wednesday.
1:06
Mr. President, Mrs. Trump, it is with great pleasure that my wife
1:12
and I welcome you to Windsor Castle on this, your second
1:17
state visit to the United Kingdom.
1:20
This unique and important occasion reflects the enduring
1:26
bond between our two great nations, anchored by the deep
1:31
friendship between our people. This relationship, which with
1:36
good reason we and our predecessors have long called
1:40
special, has made us safer and stronger through the
1:46
generations. Your Majesty, Melania and I are
1:50
deeply grateful to you and Queen Camilla for your extraordinary
1:55
graciousness. And to William and Kate, thank
1:59
you so much. It's been so great being with
2:01
you today. Thank you very much.
2:02
Appreciate it. It's a singular privilege to be
2:07
the first American president welcomed here.
2:10
And the if you think about it, they said it's a lot of
2:13
presidents. And this was the second state
2:17
visit, and that's the first. And maybe that's going to be the
2:22
last time. I hope it is actually.
2:26
But this is truly one of the highest honours of my life.
2:30
So it's the highest honour of his life.
2:33
You said the last state visit. I hope he doesn't mean for
2:35
future US presidents or just for him.
2:38
I would. No, McDonald, you never.
2:39
Know, no, I know that, I know that.
2:42
But anyway, you know, as I say, notably absent from that dinner,
2:48
by the way, was Prince Andrew. I wonder why?
2:51
But Trump then, of course, moved to checkers yesterday, and there
2:57
was a press conference held at the end of the day.
3:00
They emphasized the special relationship between Britain and
3:03
the United States. They presented a apparently
3:05
united front on Ukraine. They also also on war more
3:10
generally, actually. And Trump said he felt really
3:13
let down Patrick by Vladimir Putin, particularly in regard to
3:16
the war in Ukraine. Trump had expected, he said the
3:19
conflict to be easier to resolve given his past relations with
3:23
Putin. And then Starmer said that the
3:25
UK is leading on encouraging stronger pressure on Russia.
3:29
In other words, keeping the war going as fast as they can or as
3:32
much as they can. Trump urged Starmer to use
3:35
strong measures to curb irregular migration, and he even
3:41
went as far as the suggesting deploying the military at the on
3:44
the on the beaches. It was other than that, the
3:48
usual nonsense. But towards the end of the press
3:51
conference, it was of course, AQ and A and a Sky journalist asked
3:57
well about the elephant in the room.
4:00
Let's just listen to this. Finally, if I may, the elephant
4:04
in the room, Lord Mandelson, he is no longer the ambassador.
4:09
Do you have some sympathy with him that he lost his job over
4:13
historic links to Jeffrey Epstein?
4:15
Thank you. Very much.
4:16
I don't know him. Actually, I had heard that and I
4:20
think maybe the Prime Minister would be better Speaking of
4:22
that. There was a choice that he made
4:25
and I don't know what is your answer to that?
4:27
Well, I mean, it's very straightforward.
4:29
Some information came to light last week which wasn't available
4:32
when he was appointed. And I made a decision about it.
4:35
And that's very clear on the question of the pressure on
4:41
Putin. And so basically, they couldn't
4:45
change the subject quick enough, Patrick.
4:47
Starmer looked very uncomfortable when Trump punt
4:49
into him on on the Mandelson question.
4:51
Trump likes to do that. He likes to punt when he doesn't
4:53
know what to say, and Starmer got caught off guard there.
4:56
Absolutely, but it was Gaza which perhaps indicated the
5:00
tension between them. Certainly on that topic anyway.
5:03
Starmer said the UK would recognize the Palestinian state.
5:07
Not sure that he said when, but anyway, he said that it would as
5:10
part of a broader peace package. Trump disagrees, agreed with
5:15
that plan and well, then this happened.
5:20
Well, let me be really clear about Hamas.
5:22
They're a terrorist organization who can have no part in any
5:26
future governance in Palestine. And what happened on October the
5:31
7th was the worst attack since the Holocaust.
5:36
We have extended family in Israel.
5:38
I understand first hand the psychological impact that that
5:42
had across Israel. So I know exactly where I stand
5:47
in relation to Hamas. Hamas of course don't want 2
5:50
state solution. They don't want peace, they
5:53
don't want the ceasefire. I find that completely obscene,
5:59
Patrick. Not only, well I mean the Trump
6:02
smacking Starmer on the back, that was slightly weird in a in
6:06
a certain way, but but this idea that psychological damage is
6:11
equivalent to 10s if 10s of thousands of deaths is just
6:15
obscene. I mean, the threat of
6:18
annihilation is somehow Trump's actual genocide.
6:21
The report from the UN came out. We'll talk about that later.
6:24
But all this talk about the free hostages.
6:27
Free the hostages. There's 10,000 Palestinians
6:30
being held in arbitrary detention by the Israeli
6:34
government, and that's part of the negotiations.
6:37
That's been part of the ceasefire.
6:38
For Starmer to say Hamas doesn't want peace, doesn't want a
6:41
ceasefire is patently false. They've been in negotiations
6:45
multiple rounds even before Trump was sworn into office.
6:49
So I don't know what Keir Starmer is saying there or he's
6:51
just playing to Trump showing that he is resolute and
6:54
steadfast for Israel, all in for Israel.
6:57
And that's what it looked like. Because what Starmer said
7:00
doesn't actually correspond to reality.
7:03
So what other coverages have been on this issue of a
7:05
Palestinian state? Well, the that that's the big
7:08
story was when Starmer gave that kind of quid pro quo threat that
7:14
if Israel doesn't somehow stop the forced starvation of an
7:18
entire population in Gaza and work towards a negotiated
7:22
settlement or ceasefire, that they'll be punished by Britain
7:27
recognizing A Palestinian state. I mean, it's preposterous how he
7:30
framed that anyway. But that's that deadline is
7:34
September 22nd, which is coming up very quickly, I think early
7:39
next week. So what's going to happen as
7:41
resolve that? Let's take a look here and
7:44
again, going to the mainstream press here, papers of record in
7:48
this instance anyway for the Guardian Starmer to recognize a
7:51
Palestinian state after Trump's visit.
7:54
So let's take a look at that. This is basically the deal
7:57
Starmer threatened to quote, recognize Palestine during the
8:02
upcoming UN General Assembly unless Israel took decisive
8:05
steps to end the suffering in Gaza, reach a ceasefire, refrain
8:09
from annexing territory in the West Bank.
8:11
All of these things Israel is either not doing or doing
8:14
against what Starmer wants here and commit to a peace process
8:18
that results in A2 state solution.
8:20
Israel's already categorically Mike ruled out A2 state
8:24
solution. They don't want it. the United
8:26
States has ruled out A2 state solution.
8:28
So we're saying this really Keir really are you did you actually
8:34
say this? Do you actually mean this
8:36
because it's patently impossible.
8:38
I mean, it's it's not going to happen right.
8:41
So I mean, I don't know what what this is other than my to
8:44
buy time because by the time they get around to actually
8:47
recognizing A Palestinian state, there will be no more people
8:50
live Palestinians and Gaza, they have been killed or they have
8:54
been ethnically cleansed and they're working on the West Bank
8:57
as we speak, frog marching thousands of Palestinian men and
9:01
people out of their homes, burning homes, settlers
9:04
attacking Palestinians. I mean, that's what's happening
9:07
now. So what was this threat really
9:09
about? Was it, was it to buy time so
9:13
Israel could change facts on the ground or was it as, as we spoke
9:18
about before the program that it was designed to push Israel to
9:22
finish the job? That's a black pill take, right?
9:25
But it does look like that's pretty realistic based on what
9:30
we're looking at. Indeed.
9:31
Well, let's come back then to the the Wednesday banquets for a
9:36
moment. Because the AI, the AI All Stars
9:40
were there because as we mentioned on Wednesday's news,
9:43
the 31 billion tech prosperity deal, including the announcement
9:47
of the Stargate UKAI project, was made in time for Trump's
9:51
arrival. But the AI crowd weren't the
9:54
only ones with dollars in their eyes, dollar signs in their
9:57
eyes. More U.S. investment in the UK
10:01
was announced. That's about £150 billion of
10:05
investment that included £100 billion investment pledge from
10:10
Blackstone over the next decade into the UK.
10:14
Blackstone claims that they have quotes deployed more than 70
10:18
billion across over 100 businesses and investments in
10:21
the UK over the the past 20 years, supporting wide sectors
10:26
including housing, tourism, logistics and so they're
10:29
sticking another £100 billion in there as well.
10:32
So that's good news isn't it? Well, is it because of course
10:36
what is Blackstone a a vulture capital firm so that this an
10:40
asset stripping exercise effectively anyway, but.
10:45
Just quickly, Mike, they're one, they're one of those large giant
10:49
funds and firms that's buying up housing, right?
10:51
That's right, yeah. In the UK, in the America and
10:54
around Europe. So a certain percentage of
10:57
people at some point will end up having Blackstone as their
11:01
landlord. Absolutely. 3.9 billion
11:05
investors, uh, from this organization, uh, Prologis or
11:10
uh, they're another leading investment firm.
11:14
Uh, this is apparently going to strengthen its investment in
11:17
Cambridge biomedical camp campus and and major upgrade of the
11:21
Daventry International rail freight terminal, all great
11:24
stuff. This is, of course supporting
11:27
the growth in life sciences, which is something that both the
11:29
Tories and the Labour Party have been absolutely determined to
11:33
progress with life. Science, translated, means big,
11:36
Pharma big. Pharma it but also means
11:38
genomics, particularly specifically genomics research
11:42
and so on. So so that's that.
11:45
You'll be delighted to know that Palantir gets its claws even
11:48
further into the UK with another 1 1/2 billion pounds to help
11:52
make the UKA defence innovation leader and create 350 jobs, says
11:57
the UK government as it makes the UK it's new European
12:01
headquarters for war. The deal was signed by Secretary
12:05
of State for War John Haley, as you can see on screen there at
12:07
the moment. And it's going to help the UK
12:10
military develop the latest digital tools and harness AI
12:13
technology to accelerate decision making, improve
12:16
targeting and keep British people safe.
12:19
So we're going to keep British people safe by targeting, well,
12:22
everybody else it seems. And they say that some of these
12:26
new capabilities will support development of what's known as
12:28
the kill chain, whereby military planners fuse a wide range of
12:32
information and data sources from open source and military
12:35
platforms to provide military commanders with faster options
12:39
for attacking an enemy target. This would form, they say, an
12:44
element of the digital targeting web.
12:46
And that, of course, was in the Strategic Defense Review.
12:48
And we talked about that several weeks ago on this program.
12:51
So, you know, when we're talking about the targeting of
12:54
Palestinians in Doha or anywhere else, my question is who's
12:58
providing Israel with the targeting information?
13:00
I think Britain has a part to play in that.
13:03
Well, the. The targeting of journalists in
13:05
their homes using like the Knock knock or Daddy's Home AI driven
13:09
apps that the IDF using to target journalists and their
13:13
families. 350 jobs to the that's a real shot of adrenaline to the
13:18
economy. I think there's.
13:19
I'm looking forward to that, yeah.
13:21
Indeed, let's quickly move on. 150 million investments, sorry,
13:25
from American company Momentum, creating more than 3000 jobs
13:30
this time in Glasgow and Warrington and also across the
13:34
Midlands. Boeing is going to convert 2737
13:37
aircraft in Birmingham for the US Air Force.
13:39
So that's an impressive deal as well.
13:42
This is the the first US Air Force aircraft built in the UK
13:46
for over 50 years. So that's 150 jobs.
13:49
And US engineering firm Stacks is another 37 million to expand
13:54
their UK operations. And of course that's all net
13:56
zero and emissions reductions and so on.
13:59
So you know, what can we say? Major funding into UKUK based
14:05
research and development startups.
14:07
It's all about research. Sorry, they say about
14:09
accelerating because it's all accelerationism at work here.
14:12
Accelerating growth in biotech, AI and advanced manufacturing.
14:17
So there we go. What can we say about that?
14:20
Fantastic stuff. So all that.
14:22
Great deals coming to the UK? Supposedly yes, but that takes.
14:28
Us then if we're talking about that, we were talking about
14:31
Ukraine a second ago in that sort of part of the world,
14:35
there's more going on well. It's interesting this this the
14:38
exchange between Starmer and Trump.
14:40
We've always said that Britain's always been there to discipline
14:42
Washington, to make sure they're on track, continuing to escalate
14:46
against Russia. Certainly that's the dynamic,
14:49
the attitude we see between Starmer and Trump.
14:52
But you know, the the new front might be opening up in this that
14:55
will probably drag the United it States back in in a bigger way.
14:59
And that is Moldova. We'll bring this up on screen
15:01
here. Next stop.
15:03
Moldova. That's a legitimate question
15:06
there. And if we look at this, this is
15:08
a report at 21st Century wire.com.
15:11
Go in and have a look at this. Some interesting data has been
15:15
leaked, which was reported by a Turkish website, the Deke
15:19
Gazette, and also by the Ukrainian journalist as well,
15:25
Panchenko, who basically put out a lot of this information on her
15:29
ex account. And this is one of the things
15:33
we're looking at here, Mike, State visit by Maye Sandhu.
15:37
She is the pro Western, pro NATO, pro EU president of
15:41
Moldova. So this was only in I believe at
15:45
the end of July. And there she is meeting with
15:47
King Charles there. So the implication here, Mike,
15:51
is that and again here French Legionnaires, this is in the
15:55
leaks of of Moldovan and Transnistrian or origin being
16:02
shortlisted for special operations, potential false flag
16:07
in Transnistria to draw the Ukraine in to create a new front
16:11
for this conflict. If that happens, you know what's
16:14
going everyone, the global community, France, Britain are
16:17
going to go to Trump and say more weapons and cash for
16:20
Zelensky. Look, the Russians are hitting
16:23
us from Transnistria. That's how it's going to go.
16:26
So they're looking at destabilizing Moldova and the
16:29
breakaway pro Russian enclave of Transnistria in order to start a
16:35
new front in this proxy war. But really to drum up media
16:38
interest, this is also going to make an emergency for Romania as
16:42
well, which is bordering Moldova.
16:44
So you can see they still believe they have life left in
16:48
this conflict beyond the current front lines in Ukraine.
16:52
So we're telling people to pay close attention because there
16:55
are plans afoot led by France with the UK, Germany also in
17:00
Brussels involved, but led by France to fire up Moldova and
17:04
Transnistria. And that is extremely concerning
17:08
they're. Dying just to get some ability
17:11
to claim Russian attack on outside of the borders of
17:15
Ukraine itself. They're absolutely dying to do
17:17
that. Another.
17:18
Threat to Europe? Basically yes.
17:20
OK. Well, just very briefly, Mark,
17:23
if I welcome you to the program, what are your thoughts on what
17:27
we've just been discussing and this fantastic state visit,
17:30
second state visit by Trump? Well, certainly the two state
17:38
solution is something that is probably going to be in the
17:41
rearview mirror permanently. In other words, all that talk of
17:45
A2 state solution is is essentially impossible.
17:48
The destruction evidently is too great and for Starmer to talk
17:53
about a two state solution, even though at the same time he was
17:56
harping about things that made it sound like he would be
17:59
against such a thing. It's it's amazing the unreality
18:03
that's being embraced here as they talk about a two state
18:06
solution. I mean, how would that even be
18:08
done anymore given what's happened in the last year or so?
18:11
And so they've went from, you know, being unrealistic to sheer
18:16
fantasy in terms of declaring that they want a 2 state
18:20
solution. Because I really don't think
18:22
such a thing would even be desirable.
18:24
I mean, if you take it to the brass tacks, that was Palestine
18:29
and through the Balfour Declaration it was overthrown
18:33
and became what we know as Israel.
18:35
So A2 state solution, while it's probably physically impossible
18:39
and politically unrealistic, is really not even enough if you
18:43
look at the range and the the scope of the injustice that's
18:46
happened over the decades. Yeah, it's it would require much
18:52
more than A2 state solution to compensate for what happened to
18:55
Palestine, in my opinion. Yeah, absolutely.
18:58
OK, thank you for that. Now let's move on then.
19:01
If you like what the UK column does, you'd like to support us,

and if you can't support us financially, then please at
19:16
least support us by sharing our material and helping us deal
19:19
with the censorship regime. Everybody that is contributing
19:23
in some way, we give you huge thanks because it is vastly
19:26
appreciated. Now another reminder that we've
19:30
got an event coming up on the 18th of October, UK, call them

and get a ticket for that, that would be you'd be more than
19:45
welcome for that as well. Now tonight, Jerem is back for
19:51
one night. He's away in China at the moment
19:54
and he is speaking to Carl Zha. He's got a little trailer here.
19:59
Let's have a look at that. It's.
20:02
An egg. It's a, it's a steamed egg.
20:03
So what do you do with it? So you just, you just drink it.
20:07
It's nobody cares if you just it's a private conversation.
20:09
This is like this. It's private conversation.
20:11
Nobody cares. They are worried that American
20:14
Internet platform will be used for will be weaponized for
20:18
sabotage. This is how.
20:20
You get ATV. Reality TV shows as the
20:24
President of the United States. We're in Shanghai.
20:28
This is Eminem play. We're listening to Eminem in
20:33
Shanghai feeds. Into what you're saying.
20:37
Earlier about the censorship? Not necessarily.
20:39
Being about trying to stop with the.
20:41
Influence exact. So for that full conversation,
20:46
7:00 tonight on the live stream, join us for that and hope to see
20:50
you there. OK, Mark, back to you then.
20:53
And let's have a look at the situation in the United States
20:57
with respect to censorship. And we'll begin with Jimmy
21:01
Kimmel. Yes, it is a ironic situation.
21:08
A lot of people find Jimmy Kimmel's humor to be kind of
21:11
crude, rude and lewd, often times in poor taste.
21:15
And apparently what he said, I don't watch him, but apparently
21:18
what he said was that with the Charlie Kirk event that the
21:23
Trump administration, those on the right in general were
21:28
reticent or hesitant to consider that it could be, quote, one of
21:31
their own that shot Charlie Kirk and that they wanted to too
21:36
easily blame the left. I won't quote Jimmy Kimmel on
21:39
exactly what he said. Some people found it to be in
21:42
poor taste. But the story is kind of behind
21:45
the story. In other words, there's more
21:47
going on. And it reminds me of the Sun
21:50
Valley ID annual billionaire event where I talked about
21:54
machinations going on with media consolidation and how Trump was
21:59
using that as sort of a bargaining chip.
22:01
Well, I got a slide here that just kind of sums this up.
22:05
ABC Yanks Kimmel to Curry FCC favorite question mark I'm
22:09
reading from some of my notes that I compiled.
22:12
Nexstar, which operates about two dozen ABC affiliates, issued
22:16
a press release saying it strongly objects to Kimmel's
22:19
remarks about Kirk and said it stations would replace the show
22:23
with other programming. But here's what's interesting
22:26
amid all what's going on As the smoker clears, Next Star is
22:30
seeking Trump administration approval to acquire another big
22:34
US station group called Tegna T e.g.
22:38
NA. The deal requires the FCC to
22:41
loosen the federal government's limits on broadcast station
22:45
ownership. Minutes after Next Star
22:47
criticized Kimmel publicly. ABC as a whole said the Kimmel
22:53
show was being yanked nationwide.
22:56
So in other words, Next Star may have did its part to yank Kimmel
23:01
off the air so it could Curry favor with the Trump
23:04
administration's FCC in order to buy Tegna.
23:08
And once again, as when I reported about Sun Valley, these
23:12
media consolidations that the Trump administration seems to
23:16
either favor or not strongly object kind of goes against the
23:20
grain of criticizing the fake news.
23:23
Because the FC CS real job is not to so much look at content,
23:28
not to take someone off the air because they disagree with what
23:32
he or she said. Their real job is mainly to
23:35
prevent consolidation from, to prevent anyone interest from
23:39
owning too much media. In other words, to reduce
23:42
ownership concentration like that and centralization.
23:46
So Trump's FCC commissioner, however, is, excuse me,
23:51
something went out there a little bit likewise.
23:54
But Trump's FCC commissioner, however, is looking at the
23:59
Kimmel thing on an ideological or political plane rather than
24:04
doing the FC CS core job, and that's to prevent media
24:06
consolidation. So that's sort of the story
24:09
behind the story right now. Thank you, Mark, sticking with
24:13
this issue, what's been going on around the whole Charlie Kirk
24:17
thing, We'll just. Continuing with the, the fallout
24:20
from the, the, the, the Charlie Kirk shooting and the political
24:24
fallout from that, it's interesting how this is
24:26
developing. And we'll bring on screen here,
24:29
that's the attorney general for Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, and
24:32
there's Charlie Kirk in the background.
24:34
So AG Ambani's confusion over hate speech and free speech
24:40
seems to be a problem here. It wasn't that long ago that
24:44
conservatives in the right were screaming and frothing at the
24:48
mouth about the radical left and left authoritarianism, cancel
24:52
culture, enforcing hate speech. This is the worst thing ever.
24:55
And all of a sudden, now MAGA becomes AOC.
24:59
It's absolutely incredible. Here is Pam Bondi from her own
25:03
words, speech. And then there's hate speech.
25:07
And there is no place, especially now, especially after
25:11
what happened to Charlie in our society.
25:14
Do you see more? Law enforcement going after
25:18
these groups who are using hate speech and putting cuffs on
25:21
people. So we show them that some action
25:23
is better than no action. We will.
25:25
Absolutely. Target you, go after you if you
25:30
are targeting anyone with hate speech, anything.
25:33
And that's across the aisle. That, that, that is just
25:37
incredible that that degree of attempted limitation on, I mean,
25:44
where's the 1st Amendment and all this from the.
25:46
From the country's top law enforcement official doesn't
25:49
actually understand or has read the Constitution, at least it
25:53
appears that way. But let's look at how this is
25:55
basically playing out Here is Pam Bondi and just to get the
25:59
statement that she made there, there's free speech and then
26:02
there's hate speech and there's no place, especially now after
26:05
especially after what happened to Charlie in our society.
26:09
It's all very arbitrary and very vague.
26:11
And that's the problem with hate speech.
26:14
This is the free Speech center. It's one of the few universities
26:17
in America, middle tenant Middle Tennessee State University that
26:20
has a specialist department on this very issue.
26:23
And this is what they say. This is, to put it bluntly,
26:26
absolutely false. so-called hate speech is free speech.
26:30
That is the whole point of the 1st Amendment.
26:33
So Pam Bondi here get it absolutely incorrect.
26:37
Wrong. She gets an F on her
26:40
constitutional one O 1 class on this.
26:43
So and and listen, don't take our word for it.
26:47
This is what Charlie Kirk said in 2020.
26:52
Is that even hate speech should be completely and totally
26:55
allowed in our country. The most disgusting speech
26:57
should absolutely be protected. And it's not a viewpoint that is
27:01
held by the left. The ACLU used to hold this
27:04
viewpoint. The American Civil Liberties
27:06
Union, they used, they sued so that legitimate Nazis could
27:10
March through downtown. Skokie, you remember this back
27:12
in the 80s and 90s. Now, why would the ACLU do this?
27:16
Because they. Said as soon as you were use the
27:19
word hate. That is a very subjective term
27:23
because then all of a sudden it is in the eyes or the IT is in
27:27
the implementation of whomever has the power.
27:31
So here's my belief, the more speech the better.
27:36
So that that that I mean, if they're talking about doing this
27:39
in Charlie's legacy, that that demonstrates that they're,
27:42
they're not respecting his legacy at all.
27:44
No it. Just shows how clueless all of
27:46
these political actors are. I was just speaking to a former,
27:49
a former board member of the ACLU last night, Garland Nixon,
27:53
who many people know who resigned from his position
27:56
because of the cancel culture and because of their pro big
27:59
pharma stance regarding speech in relation to vaccines.
28:04
So there's a people of principle on the old left that would
28:08
actually follow the Constitution.
28:09
That's what the ACL used to do. But here is the again, the
28:13
fallout from Pam Bondi. Why everything Pam Bondi said
28:16
about hate speech is wrong. This is from the Foundation for
28:19
Individual Rights and Education, defending free speech on
28:22
campuses across the United States.
28:25
And Pam Bondi, unfortunately, Mike had to walk this back just
28:30
a day ago, and she clarifies now that hate speech won't be
28:34
prosecuted. Let's get clarification on that
28:38
from the attorney general. Attorney General Pamboni tells
28:41
Axios her office is not prosecuting or investigating
28:44
anybody for alleged hate speech, only for speech that she says
28:49
unlawfully incites violence. Wow.
28:52
So she is picking this issue up gradually because the whole
28:56
point of hate speech, if you look at the constitutional cases
29:00
on these very issues, they're tied to incitement.
29:04
So the law states very specifically there has to be a
29:07
Direct Line to actual incitement or imminent incitement or
29:12
violence as a result of the speech.
29:15
If that cannot be shown at the time, then of course, they
29:18
can't. The government can't come in and
29:19
prosecute. Similar to yelling fire in a
29:22
crowded theater here. So that that's where that issue
29:26
is at the moment, Mike. Now, Donald Trump has taken it
29:31
to yet another level on this. Just to extend this discussion.
29:36
Here's what Trump has to say. And then woman, in many cases,
29:42
women, you can see they're professional agitators.
29:44
I had one the other night. I had four the other night, all
29:47
in one group, total phonies that started to scream when I got
29:50
into a restaurant. Oh, you know, something with
29:53
Palestine. And I said, well, I'm doing a
29:55
great job for peace in the Middle East.
29:58
I should get lots of awards for that, right, with the Abraham
30:01
Accords and everything else. But a woman just stood up and
30:03
started screaming and she got booed out of the place too.
30:07
The people, there were a lot of people in the restaurant.
30:09
I went there to show how safe and it was safe.
30:11
I mean, a woman is just a mouthpiece, or she was, she was
30:14
a paid, she was a paid agitator. And you have a lot of them.
30:19
And I've asked Pam to look into that in terms of Rico, bringing
30:22
Rico cases against a criminal Rico, because they should be put
30:26
in jail. What they're doing to this
30:27
country is really subversive. So for us Brits, what are Rico
30:33
cases? This is the Rico statute for
30:36
organized crime and racketeering.
30:38
I mean, it's a bit rich for Trump to be saying that because
30:42
he himself could be sued under a Rico statute for trying to
30:46
strong arm Disney and ABC threatening FCC, not approving A
30:53
merger and acquisition. I mean, that's racketeering from
30:56
the White House. So I mean, this president is
30:58
unbelievable. So Trump clearly doesn't believe
31:01
or understand the First Amendment or has never read the
31:04
US Constitution. I, I honestly think he hasn't
31:08
because if he did and even had a a freshman high school level
31:11
civics one-on-one understanding of it, he wouldn't say such
31:14
things because that is protected speech.
31:18
Just even if they are paid agitators talking about code
31:20
pink anti war protesters that bothered him during his
31:24
restaurant dinner the other night.
31:26
You can't send the attorney general after people that you
31:30
don't like who are protesting and exercising their First
31:33
Amendment rights. I mean, for a president United
31:36
States to say this, especially somebody who claims to be a
31:39
conservative who ran as a Republican, it's just it's, it's
31:43
beyond the pale. Honestly, I don't, I don't know
31:46
what to say. So it just goes from bad to
31:48
worse. Now let's let's look at this
31:51
issue regarding right here. We'll bring this up on screen.
31:55
So this brings up the, the section 230 debate, Mike, about
31:58
Wikipedia, Facebook, Are they they, will they allow free
32:02
speech or make editorial decisions?
32:04
If they do, they fall foul of Section 2:30.
32:06
So that's where this issue's coming up.
32:09
So now what's happening Mike and, and this is related to the
32:13
online safety conversation in the UK is that States and we
32:16
discussed it before individual states are doing end runs around
32:21
the 1st Amendment and around this Section 230 issue to bring
32:25
in digital IDs, for instance age checks.
32:29
And so the point is. It's exactly the same policy as
32:31
we have in the United Kingdom, but you can't do it in the
32:33
United States at a federal state level, at a federal state level.
32:37
It has to be done at an individual state level in an
32:41
effort to try to circumvent the limitations on the federal
32:44
government. Yeah.
32:45
Yeah, it is. And so this camp, this is
32:47
happening, these things will be challenged will some will be
32:50
knocked back in the in the higher courts, no doubt.
32:53
But there is a real pressure, isn't there from forces, various
32:56
forces to want to regulate speech online and they're using
33:00
every means possible to do it. And that's the thing that we
33:04
need to keep our our eyes on. So just to continue on this
33:08
discussion here now bringing up this issue, we'll bring this up
33:12
on screen here. This this went on to the Gray
33:16
zone, which was Max Blumenthal and your parent Bill penned the
33:19
story here basically saying that Charlie Kirk, according to a
33:24
source, offered to fund Turning Point USA.
33:27
Kirk refused, refused to take a trip to Israel, which Netanyahu
33:31
was asking for. And this wasn't long before his
33:38
his shooting, his death. So that's interesting and it and
33:42
it goes further here. Billionaire Bill Ackman convened
33:46
stormy Israel intervention with Charlie Kirk, say sources.
33:50
This was a meeting that was called in the elite Hamptons in
33:52
Long Island where Charlie Kirk was summoned for a struggle
33:57
session apparently on the issue of Israel.
34:00
At least that's the implication in the Gray zone story there.
34:04
So the circumstantial case is there's a lot of pressure from
34:07
the Israeli lobby, from Israeli interests on Turning Point.
34:11
And we talked about this last week, Mike, that Charlie Kirk
34:14
represents the billionaire donor class that pumped money into
34:18
Turning Point and made it a 100 million a year concern.
34:22
You're dealing with major forces here and a lot of Zionist
34:26
billionaires, Christian and Jewish in America.
34:29
So we'd be naive not to not to bring this up and not to discuss
34:33
it circumstantially. The forensic case of the
34:36
shootings, a separate conversation.
34:38
But these were the political forces that were swirling around
34:41
the 31 year old Charlie Kirk, very young man.
34:44
And you're talking about some big, powerful forces here,
34:47
including the ones that have captured the White House and
34:50
have captured Congress and Senate.
34:51
Now, here is Benjamin Netanyahu, who keeps denying that he had
34:56
anything to do with it. What's the old Shakespeare
34:59
saying, Lady? Doth protest.
35:01
Too much doth. Protest too much.
35:03
I think BB doth protest way too much.
35:06
Listen to this. Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi
35:11
propaganda minister, said that the bigger the lie, the faster
35:15
it will spread. Well, somebody has fabricated A
35:18
monstrous big lie that Israel had something to do with Charlie
35:22
Kirk's horrific murder. This is insane, it is false, it
35:28
is outrageous. Charlie Kirk was a giant, a once
35:32
in a century talent who defended freedom, defended America,
35:36
defended our common judeo-christian civilization.
35:39
Charlie loved Israel, he loved the Jewish people.
35:43
He told me so in a letter that he sent me just a few months
35:45
ago. One of my greatest joys as a
35:48
Christian, he said, is advocating for Israel and
35:51
forming alliances with Jews to protect judeo-christian
35:54
civilization. He encouraged me to make the
35:57
case directly to the American people about how vital Israel is
36:01
to US National Security. He told me the Holy Land is so
36:06
important to my life. It pains me to see support for
36:09
Israel slip away now. If Charlie disagreed with the
36:12
policy of mine or decision here and there, not only did I not
36:16
mind, I welcomed it. This is the essence of Charlie.
36:20
This is the essence of a free country.
36:22
It's exactly what Charlie stood for.
36:25
And I knew that his suggestions always came from the heart, from
36:28
his love for Israel and from his love for the Jewish people.
36:32
A few weeks before his death, I spoke to Charlie.
36:36
I invited him to visit Israel again, and sadly, that won't
36:40
happen now. Some are peddling these
36:43
disgusting rumors, perhaps out of obsession, perhaps with
36:48
Qatari funding. What I do know is this Charlie
36:52
Kirk was a great man, and a great man deserves honor, not
36:57
lies. Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk, may
37:00
your memory be a blessing. So he's implying that the Gray
37:07
zone are funded by Qatar, which is completely not true.
37:12
It used to be judeo-christian values, but now it's
37:15
judeo-christian civilization. This is a new upgrade to that
37:20
talking point. I, I wasn't briefed on that, but
37:23
thank you, BB for that. Now BB misquoted Joseph
37:28
Goebbels, let's bring the man himself up on screen here.
37:33
We'll bring this up on screen. There he is, Hitler's infamous
37:37
propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.
37:39
There's the actual quote. So BB misquoted him.
37:43
The actual quote starts off with if you tell a lie big enough and
37:47
keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
37:50
The lie can be maintained only for such a time as the state can
37:54
shield the people from the political, economic and or
37:57
military consequences of the lie.
37:58
So not only did BB misquote him, but he took it totally out of
38:02
context. We'll bring that up on screen
38:04
again. And you know, we shouldn't be
38:06
too hard here because clearly both men are passionate about
38:11
their propaganda and that is the bottom line.
38:15
Back to you, Mike. Yes.
38:16
Thank you Patrick. Let us come back to the UK then.
38:19
And well, a little less than a week ago, Craig Murray published
38:24
this article. It's your party and I'll cry if
38:28
I want to. Now, any of the argues that the
38:31
newly formed and your party led by Jeremy Corbyn and Zara
38:34
Sultana risk becoming undemocratic.
38:38
He and many others supporting the project assumed that it
38:41
would adopt one member, one vote democracy, with major decisions
38:45
on policy and leadership and so on made by all members, ideally
38:48
via online mechanisms. Instead, the party's leadership,
38:53
he said, is structuring to limit that democratic control, he
38:58
said. As I say, this is almost a week
39:00
ago now, he said. As of now, there are many people
39:03
who have signed up, but they have no formal membership
39:05
rights, no say in administration, no vote in
39:08
elections, no transparency over how money is spent or or who is
39:12
employed. He talks about local founding
39:14
meetings being held by selective invitation, also by small small
39:18
parties or union groups rather than open to all who's signed
39:21
up. And he talks about the planned
39:24
founding conference in November, which he says will be delegate
39:27
based and self selecting, and that ordinary supporters won't
39:30
be able to simply stand as delegates.
39:33
And he says that the methods used, splitting into working
39:36
groups moderated by pre chosen individuals, minimizing or
39:39
avoiding votes and debate, are designed to ensure control
39:43
remains with a small cadre. And he talks about taking part
39:47
at the Occupy meetings in Saint Paul's and seeing the same
39:50
tactics. There are tactics that you and I
39:52
both saw at at Saint Saint Paul's as well.
39:54
So he at the end of this article issues a call to action.
39:59
He says that supporters should demand immediate opening,
40:02
opening of formal membership and insist on Democratic delegate
40:06
selection. And he said that people should
40:09
be pressing for one member, one vote elections for all major
40:12
positions and ensuring policy decisions are voted on properly
40:16
to resist manipulative meeting formats.
40:19
And he believes that unless this happens, your party will mirror
40:23
the centralised top down political culture that it says
40:27
that it wants to replace. So that was a week ago and well,
40:31
yesterday all hell broke loose Patrick.
40:34
So a few days later, Zara Sultana seems to have taken what
40:38
Craig Murray wrote to heart and she apparently unilaterally set
40:45
up a membership website for the party and then spent yesterday
40:49
morning asking people to sign up on X and other platforms.
40:54
Now apparently 20, more than 20,000 people signed up at 55
40:57
lbs a pop and up to the point that Corbyn stepped in claiming
41:01
that the membership site was unauthorised on her statement
41:05
then is on screen because she posted this to X, she said.
41:08
My sole motivation has been to safeguard the grassroots
41:11
movement that is essential to building this party.
41:13
Unfortunately I've been subjected to what can only be
41:15
described as a sexist boys club. I've been treated appallingly
41:19
and excluded completely. They've refused to allow any
41:22
other woman with voting rights on the working group blocking
41:26
gender balance committee that both Jeremy and I signed up to.
41:30
And she said that the membership site was in line with the road
41:32
map set out to members on Monday and is a safe, secure,
41:36
legitimate portal for the party. So.
41:40
But I do wonder, Patrick, how much of this is just the latest
41:44
expression of infighting that began with the Beautiful Days
41:48
festival and her public statement of being an anti
41:52
Zionist. Yeah.
41:53
And also the repudiating the IHRA definition of
41:57
anti-Semitism, the thing that sunk Jeremy Corbyn and his
42:01
leadership and ultimately got him kicked out of his own party
42:04
that he served his whole career for.
42:06
But it it's interesting, like the Sortitian model, the
42:09
Sortitian model coming under criticism here when when done to
42:14
scale at big National Party levels, it's rife for hijacking,
42:19
isn't it? Absolutely for steering.
42:21
And next thing you know, especially the way it's
42:24
compartmentalised is exactly what Craig Murray is describing
42:27
here. Hugely problematic it.
42:30
Certainly is. It's certainly what Ben Rubin's
42:32
been warning about. We've been talking about it as
42:34
well. It it is hugely problematic.
42:37
But let's move back to international affairs and the UN
42:42
Commission. What's it been up to the well?
42:44
The report that's come out is completely without any real
42:49
challenge in terms of the data here.
42:51
Israel, according to the UN Commission, is guilty of
42:54
genocide, has has failed to prevent genocide, has enacted
42:59
genocide against the native Palestinian population here.
43:03
We've got all the details up here on this post as well as all
43:06
of the documents and the support links for this.
43:08
So if you want to see what's in this report, what it means, and
43:12
be able to click through the links as well as the embedded
43:15
document itself, it's there at 21st Century wire.com.
43:19
Mike. But it's important that we take
43:21
a look at the current situation right now, which is happening in
43:25
Gaza here. More than 2000, sorry, 250,000
43:29
have been displaced from Gaza in the past month.
43:31
I think that's a low estimate here, but this is according to
43:34
UN official figures here, 10s of thousands more fleeing makeshift
43:39
homes. And here is the bottom line.
43:41
Israel themselves, the Israelis claim that Gaza City is a Hamas
43:46
stronghold in that 50, sorry, 450,000 civilians have left.
43:52
So what will on on that issue of, of of how this is being
43:57
framed in propaganda? Let's take a look at this report
44:01
from ABC News. This pretty much is in a
44:04
nutshell how the US media, mainstream media is covering
44:07
this and it's absolutely appalling.
44:08
Let's listen The Israeli military says its forces are
44:12
expanding their activities in Gaza.
44:14
City Hundreds of thousands of people are being forced from
44:17
their homes and most have nowhere to go.
44:19
AB CS foreign correspondent Tom Sufi Burridge is in Tel Aviv and
44:22
just spoke to a spokesperson from the IDF.
44:25
Tom, what are they telling you? Yeah, they pushed back on on a
44:28
number of things. I challenge them on the evidence
44:30
that they've got the Hamas is using all of those high rise
44:34
buildings in Gaza which we've seen demolished by the IDF,
44:36
blown up. The IDF spokesperson basically
44:39
said that they have Intel he wouldn't publish or they won't
44:43
publish any of that Intel. But he suggested that Hamas is
44:47
using some of those buildings as lookout points basically onto
44:50
areas of Gaza City where the IDF is operating.
44:53
I also challenged them about this video of this young girl
44:56
being pulled from the rubble, which, you know, does speak
44:59
volumes, I think about, you know, the human toll in the war.
45:03
He wasn't aware of that video. But he's, you know, he
45:05
reiterated points that the IDF has said before, that the IDF
45:08
says it is doing everything in its power to try and mitigate
45:11
the risk to civilians, the human toll from the fighting.
45:15
His figures from the Hamas from Gaza Health Ministry are 65,000
45:19
people killed in this war, which is lasting nearly two years.
45:23
I also challenge the IDF Spokesperson, Chris, crucially
45:26
on this claim by the IDF that this operation in Gaza City
45:29
could last months. And I also said to them, well,
45:32
look, that the Trump administration has called for it
45:34
to be a potentially concise operation.
45:36
Those two things don't really seem to match up.
45:40
What was that term? That he used there.
45:43
Hamas LED Oh, the Hamas controlled Gaza.
45:46
Ministry of Health, right? This is this is the same kind of
45:49
thing. As the full scale invasion of
45:51
Ukraine, they're using these these buzzwords that actually go
45:54
across every mainstream media channel and they have to use
45:58
them. They have to use them to
45:59
discredit any of the. Claims or figures or death
46:02
figures coming out of Gaza. That's why that so-called
46:05
journalist use that caveat. The other thing he says, this is
46:09
a journalist, British journalist for the American outlet standing
46:12
there saying that he he's an in Tel Aviv and he just got done
46:16
speaking to the IDF spokesperson, an anonymous
46:19
unnamed IDF spokesperson. That is the extent of mainstream
46:23
journalism. They won't go and they're not
46:26
allowed to go into Gaza. They can only sit there and wait
46:29
and wait for bread crumbs of information from the IDF
46:33
spokesperson. And do you think that's going to
46:35
be objective? Do you think it's going to be
46:37
fact based? And then he goes on to basically
46:40
smear the Gaza Ministry of Health, calling it Hamas, then
46:44
discredit, and then he puts you into a cul-de-sac at the end.
46:47
Did you catch that? Oh, and I challenged him.
46:50
They said it was going to be a quick operation.
46:52
But then the Trump administration wants a quick
46:54
operation. But critics say it could take
46:57
months. So here we are arguing about the
46:59
timeline of this illegal ethnic cleansing operation and this
47:04
genocide, this annihilation of the native Palestinian
47:08
population. And the mainstream journalists,
47:10
they're playing tag team between the anchor and the so-called
47:14
reporter on the ground, have herded their audience into a
47:18
cul-de-sac. I mean, this is just
47:20
unbelievable. After two years, that's the best
47:23
these people can do. It's disgusting, honestly.
47:28
But we've had two years of this. So if you think, if you wonder
47:31
why Americans are clueless about what's happening in Gaza, This
47:36
is why right there. So anyway, but let's take a look
47:40
here at this, this timeline here, look at this.
47:43
We'll take take a look. So this is March 2025.
47:47
You can see there's that the, the large yellow box in the
47:50
middle, those are tents. OK, But it changes over time.
47:55
Let's take a look at that. So there, there are tents in
47:58
March right here. And then no tents because that's
48:01
been bombed. That's August 2025.
48:03
And that's September 2025 further destroyed.
48:07
So it's on a loop right now. So you can see the changes, Mike
48:10
here. Israel are bombing with US and
48:13
British weapons are bombing tent cities with with refugees in
48:18
them and they've annihilated all potential inhabitable buildings,
48:24
claiming that their Hamas lookout points.
48:26
That is what is going on right now.
48:28
And so while all this is going on here, here is the Israeli
48:31
minister Smoltridge, Bezelao Smoltridge.
48:35
Gaza is a potential real estate bonanza.
48:38
Israel talking with the US about dividing it up.
48:42
They're talking about this openly, and he said he said
48:45
something about how much. It was costing them to run this
48:47
operation, implying that they needed to make a profit out of
48:50
it somehow. Whinging about the overhead
48:52
costs, I mean. These people are are incredible.
48:55
So while that's going on, so they just annihilate Gaza a kill
48:59
and drive everybody out, say it's a big real estate deal for
49:03
Jared Kushner and everybody else, all the other sort of
49:06
parasites that will jump in on this deal.
49:09
But here are the figures. OK, this is Middle East Monitor.
49:13
This is a academic study done by Doctor Gideon Polia and
49:19
Professor Richard Hill, and they've calculated the death
49:21
toll since October 7th. OK, not just dead from direct
49:26
munitions, but also excess deaths as a result of health,
49:31
starvation, dysentery, injuries and so forth. 680,000 dead.
49:38
680,000 dead. How high does this number have
49:42
to go before it raises some kind of an alarm or an ethical alarm
49:47
for the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who only can
49:50
comment about how terrible Hamas was on October 7th but nothing
49:55
about the 680,000 dead. That's not a Hamas study.
49:59
That's, that's a Western academic study.
50:03
So when the numbers really come out in the end, and this is what
50:06
they're trying to suppress, this is what the Israelis, the
50:09
Americans, the British, the Europeans are trying to suppress
50:12
the true death numbers in Gaza, people missing or dead and, and
50:19
total casualties. It's happening, folks.
50:21
They're they're in the final stages right now.
50:23
So why we're all following Charlie Kirk and whatever the
50:27
other drama is or the state visit in the UK, Israel is right
50:31
now pushing for what they call the final solution to the
50:34
Palestinian problem. Wake up, people.
50:38
Absolutely. Mark, let me welcome you back to
50:42
the program now. And, well, children dying hand
50:46
over fist in Gaza. Nobody in the United States
50:48
seemed to care, but they're going to make their children
50:51
healthy over there. Well, this is going to be the
50:56
test guys. Of RFK Junior since his February
51:00
13 confirmation to be HHS Secretary.
51:04
The first slide is the cover page of a 20 page report
51:08
involving 11 federal agencies. Make Our Children Healthy Again
51:13
emphasis on the word healthy. It it even involves the US
51:16
Department of Agriculture and the EPA, as well as the NIH and
51:22
CDC and FDA and things like that.
51:25
The Maha Commission unveiled this sweeping strategy to make
51:30
our children healthy again, and it was unveiled around September
51:34
9th. The Commission has released the
51:37
Make Our Children Healthy Again strategy.
51:39
It's a sweeping plan with more than 120 initiatives to reverse
51:43
the failed policies they're saying that fueled America's
51:46
childhood chronic disease epidemic.
51:49
And there is a chronic disease problem with American children.
51:51
To be sure, the strategy outlines targeted executive
51:55
actions. And we hear this often to
51:57
advance gold standard science. That is repeatedly said gold
52:01
standard science. Let's put this slide up.
52:04
It kind of summarizes some important things The the
52:09
executive order that is relevant to to this was signed curiously
52:13
enough, the very day that RFK was confirmed back on February
52:17
13th. So they must have been pretty
52:19
confident that RFK would be confirmed because all of this
52:22
would had to have been laid out. President Trump at that time
52:25
signed Executive Order 14212 establishing the President's
52:30
Make America Healthy Again Commission and that EO, that
52:35
order directed that Commission to submit to the president what
52:39
we're talking about now, the Make Our Children Healthy Again
52:42
assessment according to the strategy report, the 20 page
52:46
strategy report. Now this is also important to
52:50
consider. Vaccine injuries are included
52:54
the Health and Human Services in collaboration with the National
52:57
Institutes of Health. They're saying we'll investigate
53:00
vaccine injuries with improved data collection and analysis.
53:03
This is a welcome thing, generally speaking, including a
53:07
new vaccine injury research program emphasis at the NIHS
53:13
Clinical Center that may expand to centers around the country.
53:17
So there could be these vaccine research, vaccine injury
53:21
research centers being built around the country.
53:24
Of course, these things remain to be seen.
53:27
This next slide shows the larger 70 page or so report from which
53:32
the 20 page strategy report was drawn.
53:35
This came from the White House itself again on September 9th.
53:38
That's what it looks like, that's the larger 70 some pages
53:43
and it talks about a strategic realignment to turn the tide and
53:47
better protect our children. We will begin reversing, they're
53:50
saying, the childhood chronic disease crisis by confronting
53:53
its root causes, not just its symptoms.
53:56
Again, emphasis there because that's important and it's good
53:59
to hear that after a century of costly and ineffective
54:03
approaches, the federal government will lead, They're
54:05
saying a coordinated transformation.
54:08
Big word there of our food, health and scientific systems.
54:13
And I list the sources there that for those that want to
54:15
freeze the frame but moving on from there, we have a couple
54:19
quotes from RFK Junior himself as HHS secretary.
54:23
This one, the Trump administration is mobilizing
54:27
every part of government, every part of government, he's saying,
54:31
to confront the childhood chronic disease, the chronic
54:35
childhood chronic disease epidemic.
54:38
Pardon me. And then there's another quote
54:40
from RFK. This strategy, he says,
54:43
represents the most sweeping reform in modern history.
54:47
Again, very big words, realigning our food and health
54:50
systems, driving education and unleashing science to protect
54:54
America's children and families. And this is another important
54:57
part I'm emphasizing here. He's saying, he's claiming we're
55:00
ending the corporate capture of public health.
55:04
That, of course, is a very big statement.
55:06
Ending the corporate capture would involve big Pharma.
55:10
That would involve, inevitably, if he's serious, the mRNA, the
55:16
whole the whole crisis brought on by the mRNA injections, which
55:21
aren't even traditional vaccines, which have caused so
55:24
much harm anyway. Looking back, very.
55:28
Briefly, I recently talked about how RFK was roasted by, among
55:34
others, Senator Bernie Sanders, and this slide just briefly
55:37
recalls that. And that was at the time
55:41
concerning the CDC Director, Susan Maneras, having been fired
55:44
by RFK. Several senior CDC officials
55:48
quit in protest, and RFK fired all 17 CDC vaccine advisory
55:55
committee members. He fired all of them.
55:57
That's what was happening at the time recently when RFK was put
56:03
on the hot seat by Bernie Sanders, among others.
56:06
But then there's been another hearing since then and this
56:09
article from the Children's Health Defense, the defender
56:13
talked about at the time, an upcoming Senate hearing, asking
56:16
is it a ploy by Big Pharma and the big media to position things
56:21
or create a climate to get RFK Junior fired?
56:25
Well, since that article ran that that hearing took place
56:29
this past Wednesday on the 17th. And this slide gives a summation
56:33
of that of the chairman of the committee, Bill Cassidy, a
56:38
Republican from Louisiana. He announced the hearing and it
56:42
initially did not have RFK on the hot seat.
56:45
He hasn't been interviewed yet. That's coming up.
56:47
The committee is continuing its work, but it's on basically it's
56:51
about restoring radical transparency at the CDC and
56:55
protecting Children's Health. But apparently Susan Maneras,
56:58
the former CDC official that was fired and a a colleague of hers
57:03
testify this past Wednesday trying to shift all the blame to
57:07
RFK, saying he's, you know, taking the CDCDC apart in an
57:12
improper way and trying to shift the focus off of them and on the
57:16
RFK. So RFK is evidently going to be
57:20
interviewed by that committee again.
57:23
So he'll be on the hot seat again soon.
57:25
But I'm looking at the overall report here, the 20 page report.
57:29
And to summarize very quickly, they're also looking at the root
57:32
causes of autism, although they don't mention vaccines
57:36
explicitly with involving the root causes of autism.
57:41
They're looking at more limiting of fluoride in public water
57:45
supplies. Vaccine injury, as I mentioned,
57:48
is on the table. Air quality, another important
57:51
one, microplastics and synthetics.
57:55
Food, in other words, nutrition as medicine, not just eating
57:59
better, but food being almost used in a medicinal sense.
58:04
Gut microbiome research where the microbiome, the floral
58:09
bacteria in your digestive system, which is so crucial to
58:12
your health, they're looking at that more closely.
58:15
So there's a lot of very positive things in here in terms
58:18
of the topics, in terms of the goals.
58:21
The question is, is is this is a very tall order.
58:24
This is, this is a very ambitious project.
58:27
Will RFK and his HHS, will they have blanks in the chamber or
58:32
are they going to fire real bullets?
58:34
And I'm just using a metaphor and really go after big pharma
58:37
control, really go after corporate control and make this
58:41
happen because there are a lot of good goals.
58:43
But in the time frame they have and considering the scope of
58:46
this thing, are they really going to be able to pull this
58:49
off? Of course, many of us would
58:51
support the idea of doing it, but can they?
58:54
And will they actually pull it off?
58:56
Because it's a very tall order. So it, there's some good news
59:00
here, but it's, it's a big mountain to climb.
59:03
So I'll leave it at that for now.
59:05
Thank you, Mark. It's.
59:06
I'm going to say it's a shame that you even needed to qualify
59:09
that statement by pointing out that it was a metaphor, but
59:12
that's maybe an A realisation of the free speech situation that
59:18
we're in these days. Look, let's finish with with
59:21
another with a light hearted story in a sense, in one sense
59:25
anyway. The Foreign Office put this
59:28
tweet out yesterday. It's it's quite, quite amusing.
59:33
It features a video which is supposed to be well, is it a
59:36
humorous depiction? Let's let's have a look at the
59:39
the video itself here scenario involving MI 6 delivering A
59:45
declassified message to the Foreign Office.
59:48
Now the the message well, spoilers, you'll see it in a
59:52
second. The message turns out to be an
59:53
announcement about MI 6 joining Instagram.
59:57
And we've got to we've got to wonder about that.
59:59
But MI 5 joined Instagram in 2021 with the stated aim of
1:00:04
showing exclusive views of life inside MI 5 and to host
1:00:08
questions and answers with intelligence officers.
1:00:11
So the question is, has MI 6 come in from the cold and joined
1:00:16
the realms of reputation management?
1:00:18
Is that what's going on? Well, maybe so, but not only for
1:00:21
that purpose. It's also apparently about
1:00:24
recruitment, particularly from abroad.
1:00:25
So they seem to be struggling with with recruitment at the
1:00:29
moment because they've also launched a YouTube channel
1:00:33
yesterday and there's several videos on that and they've these
1:00:39
were all the same video by the way.
1:00:40
They're all posted in a different, in a bunch of
1:00:42
different languages. I thought we might just briefly
1:00:46
have a look at the the English version of this for.
1:00:51
Over 100 years. The.
1:00:53
Bedrock of MI 6's work has been face to face now.
1:00:58
We can make those. Connections even more securely
1:01:01
online using our upgraded dark web portal Silent Korea.
1:01:08
So if you have. Access to sensitive.
1:01:10
Information relating to global instability or hostile
1:01:14
intelligence activity. You can now contact MI 6 and
1:01:18
share this securely using Silent Courier.
1:01:28
So, you know, don't know what to make of that.
1:01:30
I mean, clearly they feel that they need to encourage Russian
1:01:35
in particular. They're really looking for
1:01:37
Russians to get involved in this, Russian whistleblowers,
1:01:41
Russian spies to come and work for them.
1:01:44
It's quite incredible. So it's a reverse WikiLeaks that
1:01:47
they've. Put on the dark web there.
1:01:49
I mean, it's just kind of weird. This new public facing spook
1:01:54
agency posture is it's a bit strange.
1:01:58
It's a bit strange. Maybe we'll just get.
1:02:00
Used to it maybe? They'll be doing what do they
1:02:01
call those faceless videos AI generated content knockout some
1:02:07
of those videos with Palantir making that some some cool
1:02:11
little 3 minute, you know, sprightly they might do they say
1:02:16
that silent. Courier aims to strengthen
1:02:18
national security by making recruitment easier.
1:02:22
They say that they're looking for potential agents in Russia
1:02:25
in particular, as well as other parts of the world.
1:02:27
And this was announced, by the way, this morning.
1:02:30
Because the outgoing C and you can decide what C means to
1:02:33
yourself. Is it at Istanbul today
1:02:35
apparently to launch this in a speech there?
1:02:39
So. So there we go.
1:02:40
It seems to me like the easiest, most economic.
1:02:42
Route to national security. This is just me I'm of old
1:02:46
fashioned is a negotiated peace agreement with your so-called
1:02:50
adversaries. Isn't that the cheapest, most
1:02:52
direct and probably the most prosperous in the long term if
1:02:55
you think of the bilateral trade potential?
1:02:58
Well, Patrick, correct me if I'm wrong, but several. 100 years
1:03:01
ago, a few 100 years ago, because of a significant war,
1:03:06
the Treaty of Westphalia was signed by a whole bunch of
1:03:09
countries which founded the the basics that provided the basis
1:03:13
for the modern nation state. The first clause of that says
1:03:17
that you act in the interests of the other and that is the best
1:03:20
way to maintain peace. We just, we need to start
1:03:23
talking with each other, stop shutting down speech, talk,
1:03:27
discuss, and maybe we come to some agreement on things.
1:03:31
It's quite amazing how this kind of thing happens, the
1:03:33
indivisibility of security. That all countries need to be
1:03:38
secure in their borders and realms, not just the West.
1:03:42
So anyway, novel thought. Novel thought, Well look, we got
1:03:46
to leave it there for today. Thank.
1:03:47
You, Mark. Thank you, Patrick, stay with us
1:03:49
for some extra. We'll be back in a couple of
1:03:52
minutes for that. If you're UK column member, if
1:03:54
you're not a member, please consider joining so that you can
1:03:56
join us for that. But otherwise, have a great
1:03:59
weekend. Don't forget Germ tonight, 7:00
1:04:01
PM, we'll see you Monday, 1:00 PM as usual.
1:04:04
See you then. Bye bye.
