Speaker 1: Good afternoon. Today is Friday, the twenty first of February
0:13
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, just after one o'clock. Welcome to UK
0:16
Speaker 1: column News. I'm your host, Brian Gerrish. Delighted to have
0:19
Speaker 1: Patrick henningson with me in the studio.
0:21
Speaker 2: Welcome. It's great to be with you, Brian.
0:23
Speaker 1: And we're also joined by live link with Mark Anderson
0:28
Speaker 1: from what he tells us is a very cold Texas,
0:31
Speaker 1: so welcome to you also, Mark. Now we're going to
0:35
Speaker 1: get kicked off with a key subject, which is, of
0:38
Speaker 1: course what's happening around President Trump and Ukraine. Take us away, Pat.
0:44
Speaker 2: Well, the big rift, Brian has opened up. As you've
0:47
Speaker 2: heard and everybody's heard, Trump's going in a different direction
0:51
Speaker 2: in Europe on Ukraine. It's created all sorts of problems.
0:54
Speaker 2: We'll just bring this is how the Washington Post is
0:57
Speaker 2: translating this. Three years after Russia's in Ukraine has to
1:01
Speaker 2: battle Trump. So this is the head columnist here from
1:05
Speaker 2: the Washington Post, Eshad Thor and so we're just going
1:09
Speaker 2: to give it a tear emoji, because there are lots
1:11
Speaker 2: of tears right now in the neoliberal and neo conservative
1:15
Speaker 2: camps on this and the thing that they're afraid of,
1:18
Speaker 2: Brian I think is this They're afraid that this might
1:21
Speaker 2: be breaking out. It's something they call the tante or
1:25
Speaker 2: repro schmont and what does that mean. Well, at the moment,
1:28
Speaker 2: we'll just call this the adult table. We'll get to
1:30
Speaker 2: the other tables later. We'll call this the adults table.
1:34
Speaker 2: This is power politics US. Donald Trump the new administration
1:38
Speaker 2: believe that they should be talking directly with Moscow. And
1:41
Speaker 2: this has everybody completely up in arms, including the British
1:46
Speaker 2: contingent as well, led by Keir Starmer. So here's Trump
1:50
Speaker 2: basically taking a hard swipe at the president of Ukraine.
1:54
Speaker 2: Let's roll this.
1:57
Speaker 3: But today I heard, oh, we weren't invited. Well, you've
1:59
Speaker 3: been there for three years. You should have ended it
2:01
Speaker 3: three years. You should have never started it. You could
2:03
Speaker 3: have made a deal. I could have made a deal
2:06
Speaker 3: for Ukraine that would have given him almost all of
2:09
Speaker 3: the land everything, almost all of the land, and no
2:12
Speaker 3: people would have been killed, and no city would have
2:14
Speaker 3: been demolished, and not one dome would have been knocked down.
2:18
Speaker 3: But they chose not to do it that way. And
2:20
Speaker 3: President Biden, in all fairness, he doesn't have a clue
2:23
Speaker 3: what he was so bad for this, He was so bad,
2:26
Speaker 3: so pathetic.
2:27
Speaker 1: It's so sad, so pretty tough words from Trump last Yeah,
2:35
Speaker 1: he's not pulling any punches.
2:36
Speaker 2: And this is what's really upsetting people, Brian, is that
2:39
Speaker 2: the narrative is absolutely collapsing, and Trump's basically taking a
2:43
Speaker 2: wrecking ball to the whole enterprise here and we'll go
2:47
Speaker 2: on here. He released this tweet on True Social and
2:51
Speaker 2: just laid into Zelensky and this has been devastating, I
2:55
Speaker 2: think for a lot of Ukraine supporters. Trump wrote that
2:57
Speaker 2: Zelenski was a modestly successful median and accused him of
3:01
Speaker 2: having talked the US into a war that couldn't be won.
3:05
Speaker 2: I mean, this is really flipping the script from what
3:08
Speaker 2: we're used to hearing for the last three years. And
3:11
Speaker 2: he continues here and it gets a little bit more hardcore.
3:15
Speaker 2: Trump said Zelensky is playing Biden like a fiddle and
3:18
Speaker 2: called him a dictator without elections. Zelensky, of course, he's
3:22
Speaker 2: referring to there. So he's saying all the stuff out
3:25
Speaker 2: loud that we've been talking about on this program for
3:28
Speaker 2: the last three years. And Trump's finally vocalizing this. And
3:33
Speaker 2: I think it's created a real shock right across the
3:36
Speaker 2: establishment and the media as well, and they're scrambling of
3:40
Speaker 2: how they're going to manage the narrative going forward here
3:44
Speaker 2: and so here's the latest to So he's basically giving
3:47
Speaker 2: Zelensky an ultimatum. He says, you better move fast or
3:50
Speaker 2: you might lose Ukraine. What he's saying is what we've
3:52
Speaker 2: said on this program, Brian, is that the longer they
3:54
Speaker 2: drag this charade out, the smaller Ukraine's going to end
3:57
Speaker 2: up being, the less territory they're going to have, the
4:00
Speaker 2: more people that are going to die. Absolutely so. And
4:03
Speaker 2: the counter punch came from Zelenski here, so let's call
4:08
Speaker 2: that the warning shot. And this was Zelenski's reply. He
4:11
Speaker 2: basically accused Trump of living in a disinformation bubble. So
4:15
Speaker 2: he's clearly been talking to the UK contingent on the
4:18
Speaker 2: phone said don't accept Trump's disinformation bubble hit back of
4:23
Speaker 2: Vladimir and basically he's upset that Trump's saying that Ukraine
4:28
Speaker 2: basically started the war in truth, Brian, NATO in the
4:32
Speaker 2: US created the pretext to start this conflict. Zelensky and
4:36
Speaker 2: Poroshenko just went along for the ride. So This has
4:40
Speaker 2: got JD. Vance, the President of Deputy as well as
4:43
Speaker 2: Donald talking about this, and Trump's not very happy. So
4:48
Speaker 2: Vance has laid in with a warning shot here to Zelensky. JD.
4:54
Speaker 2: Vance tells Zelensky he will regret bad mouthing Trump and
4:59
Speaker 2: contempts it, condemns his atrocities in response to peace talks.
5:04
Speaker 2: Is sorry his atrocious response to peace talks. So this
5:10
Speaker 2: is going to shape up to be quite interesting. I think, Brian,
5:13
Speaker 2: there one insult away from this is the art of
5:17
Speaker 2: the insult is Donald Trump's old DVD. When the nickname
5:21
Speaker 2: comes for Zelensky, it'll be, you know, like you did
5:23
Speaker 2: with Mark Rubo, Little Marco or Sleepy Joe. When the
5:27
Speaker 2: nickname arrives, that's basically the evisition. That's the end for Zelenski.
5:32
Speaker 2: The brand is pummeled and finished at that point. So
5:36
Speaker 2: I think they're all bracing themselves for impact there. So
5:40
Speaker 2: the right now you've got a lot of attacks coming
5:42
Speaker 2: in the US. The US is very split on this issue.
5:44
Speaker 2: Here's Bernie Sanders. He's the sort of I guess, the
5:48
Speaker 2: far left if you will, the Democratic Party. He's an independent,
5:52
Speaker 2: but he's really with the Democrats. But this is what
5:55
Speaker 2: he is saying here. They're sticking to their line. Let's
5:57
Speaker 2: go ahead and listen to this.
6:00
Speaker 4: It will not surprise you when I tell you that
6:02
Speaker 4: Trump is lying, as he so often does. Yesterday, Trump
6:07
Speaker 4: said that Ukraine started the war. That's not true. Russia
6:11
Speaker 4: invaded Ukraine twice, first in twenty fourteen and then again
6:16
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty two. Right now, Russia occupies about twenty
6:20
Speaker 4: percent of Ukrainian Since Putin's horrific invasion, over one million
6:27
Speaker 4: people have been killed or injured. Every single day. Russia
6:32
Speaker 4: continues to rain down hundreds of missiles and drones on
6:35
Speaker 4: Ukrainian cities. Putin's forces have massacred civilians and kidnapped thousands
6:41
Speaker 4: of Ukrainian children, bringing them back to Russian re education camps.
6:46
Speaker 4: These atrocities led the International Criminal Court to issue an
6:51
Speaker 4: arrest warrant for Putin in twenty twenty three as a
6:55
Speaker 4: war criminal. A war criminal. Further, Trump called Ukrainian President
7:02
Speaker 4: Zelensky a dictator. That's not true either. Selensky won seventy
7:07
Speaker 4: five percent of the vote in free elections. In fact,
7:10
Speaker 4: his approval rating is higher than Trump's. In the midst
7:13
Speaker 4: of a brutal war, a brutal war, Ukraine's parliament continues
7:17
Speaker 4: to function and free and unfettered political debate takes place.
7:25
Speaker 2: So I can't begin to count the number of lies
7:27
Speaker 2: that Bernie Sanders just told there in a row that
7:30
Speaker 2: was like the perfect package of all of the propaganda
7:33
Speaker 2: talking points, including the bit that Ukraine's still a democracy,
7:37
Speaker 2: Zelensky's outlawed opposition parties, He's outlawed opposition media, he's outlawed
7:42
Speaker 2: the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The list goes on, and I
7:47
Speaker 2: could go through and deconstruct everything he said there, but
7:50
Speaker 2: it's really a masterclass in really the propaganda and the tropes,
7:56
Speaker 2: the endless tropes that are being repeated right across the board.
8:00
Speaker 1: Well, propaganda is the key subject because unless we can
8:04
Speaker 1: see through that, we don't know what to believe, what's true,
8:07
Speaker 1: what's not true. Truth is critical to taking the lid
8:11
Speaker 1: off global politics. Let's just come back on to Trump.
8:15
Speaker 1: I also picked up on this BBC picture of him
8:19
Speaker 1: a big question mark, because of course is everything Trump
8:22
Speaker 1: doing right? Many people want to believe so. Because the
8:26
Speaker 1: moment they believe that everything that Trump is doing is right,
8:29
Speaker 1: it means they can switch off, but a big thank
8:32
Speaker 1: you to somebody who's sent through quite a long email
8:35
Speaker 1: to the UK column. I'm not going to read the
8:36
Speaker 1: whole thing, but we're just recognized that somebody took the
8:40
Speaker 1: time to write into us. And here at the beginning
8:44
Speaker 1: of the email, they're saying that basically we need to
8:47
Speaker 1: remember what was happening in Ukraine in twenty fourteen when
8:51
Speaker 1: ethnic Russians were being murdered, and then also the author
8:56
Speaker 1: of this email is talking about all of the billions
8:59
Speaker 1: that have then been bored into Ukraine. While Zelenski has
9:03
Speaker 1: never really progressed a dialogue with the Russians, although we
9:07
Speaker 1: have to say that many people do believe that Boris
9:10
Speaker 1: Johnson was instrumental in destabilizing early peace talks for the Russians.
9:16
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, this email I think is indicative of the
9:19
Speaker 1: sorts of things going through people's minds. An amazing figure
9:24
Speaker 1: here at one point eight million people have been killed
9:27
Speaker 1: according to the person who wrote the email. We think
9:30
Speaker 1: this is on the high side, but credit to our
9:34
Speaker 1: viewer for recognizing that we're not just talking about assets
9:38
Speaker 1: and land. We're talking about hundreds of thousands, over a million. Certainly,
9:44
Speaker 1: I think people killed in Ukraine. This is about real
9:47
Speaker 1: people and the deaths of real people. And of course
9:51
Speaker 1: the EU has made almost no effort to stop this carnage.
9:55
Speaker 1: They've been doing the exact opposite. So the email goes on,
9:59
Speaker 1: but because it call it starts to talk about problems
10:02
Speaker 1: in this country, that children in UK have been taught
10:05
Speaker 1: to hate their own country and despise its history, absolutely correct,
10:11
Speaker 1: pointing out wherever the statistic has come from that only
10:15
Speaker 1: ten percent of youngsters are willing to fight for the
10:18
Speaker 1: UK now. But certainly children have a very low opinion
10:22
Speaker 1: of their country and that's as a result of the
10:24
Speaker 1: reframing in the schools. But then the next one is
10:28
Speaker 1: the one where I think we should have some dialogue.
10:31
Speaker 1: Not much time in the news, but we can certainly
10:33
Speaker 1: get onto this in UK column Extra, and this is
10:36
Speaker 1: saying that essentially all of the major politicians in UK,
10:41
Speaker 1: at least Major Blair, Brown, Cameron, Johnson and May these
10:46
Speaker 1: are useless leaders. And this is something that I would
10:50
Speaker 1: challenge because are they useless or are they controlled puppets.
10:54
Speaker 1: I rather think it's the latter. But just to keep
10:57
Speaker 1: our eye on the ball, let's go back a couple
10:59
Speaker 1: of years and have a look at Tony Blair essentially
11:03
Speaker 1: spinning policy over at immigration. Let's remember how all these
11:08
Speaker 1: events unfolded. If you're concerned about immigration into UK.
11:19
Speaker 5: Thank you very much, indeed, Digby, and thank you to
11:23
Speaker 5: the CBI and to the London Business School for allowing
11:25
Speaker 5: me to come and make this a lecture.
11:27
Speaker 6: To you today.
11:28
Speaker 5: And I thank all of you for coming and listening
11:29
Speaker 5: to what is an important subject. I have to say.
11:32
Speaker 5: It's one of those subjects where when you tell your
11:36
Speaker 5: senior civil service that you're about to make a speech
11:41
Speaker 5: on a subject like immigration, they said, we're a courageous move,
11:45
Speaker 5: Prime Minister. But there it is. Anyway here goes. Immigration
11:53
Speaker 5: and politics do not make easy bedfellows. They never have.
11:57
Speaker 5: We need a few reminders of what can happen when
11:59
Speaker 5: the politics of immigration gets out of hand. And let
12:04
Speaker 5: us also be very clear that those who warned of
12:06
Speaker 5: disaster back in the nineteen sixties and nineteen seventies if
12:09
Speaker 5: migration was not stopped, who said Britain would never accept
12:13
Speaker 5: or be a multi racial society, have been proved comprehensively wrong.
12:19
Speaker 5: On the other hand, there is no doubt that on
12:22
Speaker 5: the doorstep in local communities. Immigration has suddenly become very
12:26
Speaker 5: high in the agenda. Why it is not incidentally an
12:30
Speaker 5: exclusively British issue. This is a worldwide phenomenon. Immigration has
12:36
Speaker 5: dominated elections in countries like Denmark, Austria and the Netherlands.
12:41
Speaker 5: In recent years le Pen rose to prominence in Frances.
12:44
Speaker 5: We know in Australia and New Zealand. It has been
12:47
Speaker 5: a central question sharply dividing the main parties. Migration flows
12:54
Speaker 5: across the world, with increased opportunities to travel and globalization
13:00
Speaker 5: driving the issue.
13:03
Speaker 1: Well, there we are a very smarmy Blair, of course,
13:07
Speaker 1: at his best tried to indicate that the whole of
13:09
Speaker 1: the migration issue was just an accident, it came out
13:13
Speaker 1: of nowhere. No, the truth is this was calculated policy,
13:17
Speaker 1: and Peter Sutherland, former Migration ambassador, the late Peter Sutherland,
13:23
Speaker 1: former Migration Ambassador to the UN said very clearly the
13:27
Speaker 1: mass migration was to be used to break down the
13:30
Speaker 1: homogeneity of the nation states. So, if we come back
13:34
Speaker 1: on to our viewer's email, this was an ending part
13:38
Speaker 1: of it. We must trust Trump and realize that our
13:41
Speaker 1: politicians sorry for the type of there the politicians have
13:46
Speaker 1: created the mess we're now in and accept the deal
13:48
Speaker 1: that he and Putin will agree. Continuing the war will
13:52
Speaker 1: end in all our war, nuclear bombs, and bankruptcy for
13:55
Speaker 1: no reason. Well, I'm just going to say, if we
13:58
Speaker 1: have a look and we do our research, we can
14:02
Speaker 1: see that what's taken place is not accidental. This is
14:05
Speaker 1: a Rand Corporation document for a dark cover, but the headline,
14:10
Speaker 1: the main title is over Extending and Unbalancing Russia. And
14:15
Speaker 1: if you have a look at what they're talking about,
14:18
Speaker 1: it says it's examining nonviolent, cost imposing options that the
14:23
Speaker 1: United States and its allies could pursue across economic, political,
14:27
Speaker 1: and military areas to stress and over extend and unbalance
14:32
Speaker 1: Russian economy. But when we get into the document, the
14:36
Speaker 1: first thing it's talking about is providing lethal aid to Ukraine.
14:40
Speaker 1: So a huge lie by the Rand Corporation that it's
14:44
Speaker 1: pushing for peace when the first thing it does is saying,
14:47
Speaker 1: let's get the weapons into Ukraine, let's increase the support
14:51
Speaker 1: for the Syrian rebels, and we know where that's gone to.
14:54
Speaker 1: Let's help liberalize Belarus. That's not a positive liberation. It's
15:00
Speaker 1: being used as a weapon to break down society and
15:03
Speaker 1: expanding ties in the South Caucuses to compete economically with Russia,
15:09
Speaker 1: reducing Russian influence in Central Central Asia, and flip, sorry,
15:15
Speaker 1: flipping Trenistria. So these are calculated acts of war against Russia.
15:21
Speaker 1: They're sold in a pamphlet as if they were peaceful
15:25
Speaker 1: means of competing with Russia. But I would suggest that
15:29
Speaker 1: these are calculated acts of war. But if you look
15:32
Speaker 1: at RAND itself, nonprofit, non partisan research organization that provides
15:38
Speaker 1: leaders with the information they need, I don't think that's
15:41
Speaker 1: what's happening. I think RAND is dictating. But here is
15:45
Speaker 1: the complete nonsense of it, because they're talking about healthcare,
15:49
Speaker 1: national security, education, international relations, emerging technologies, and the last
15:56
Speaker 1: line is all in order to make the world a
15:58
Speaker 1: better place for aus sort it's hidden in plain sight Patrick,
16:02
Speaker 1: when you look at this type of document as to
16:05
Speaker 1: what has caused the problem in Ukraine and other hotspots
16:08
Speaker 1: in the world.
16:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Rank Corporation is a sounding board for the
16:12
Speaker 2: US deep state. It has been for decades. But I
16:14
Speaker 2: might point out, just to be even imbalanced, lethal aid
16:18
Speaker 2: to Ukraine. Donald Trump was the one who sent first
16:21
Speaker 2: lethal aid to Ukraine. It was even too far for
16:24
Speaker 2: Obama to go. But because they applied so much pressure
16:27
Speaker 2: on Trump with Russia Gate and all the impeachment scandals,
16:31
Speaker 2: he felt he had to overcompensate to prove that he
16:34
Speaker 2: wasn't putin stooge, and so he shipped massive amounts of
16:38
Speaker 2: lethal aid to Ukraine and that kind of started the
16:41
Speaker 2: ball rolling. But we need to be acknowledging these things
16:45
Speaker 2: because it's part of the process, I.
16:47
Speaker 1: Think, to be accurate. To be accurate. Now, a couple
16:50
Speaker 1: of little clips here, just to emphasize the huge propaganda
16:55
Speaker 1: that Western society has been under. Let's just have a
16:58
Speaker 1: look at this NATO promotion. So if you're just listening in,
17:32
Speaker 1: that was a little promotional NATO video saying that it's
17:35
Speaker 1: a complete myth that NATO's at war with the Russians.
17:39
Speaker 1: We're just there for peace. Apparently, Let's have a little
17:42
Speaker 1: look at Ministry Defense UK and what it's pumped out.
17:46
Speaker 1: There's so many of these, but just to remind our
17:48
Speaker 1: audience of the propaganda we all face. So while Ukraine
18:24
Speaker 1: is being destroyed, infrastructure smashed apart, people can't live their
18:28
Speaker 1: lives properly. According to the UK's Ministry of defense. We
18:32
Speaker 1: are helping Ukraine rebuild, rebuild roads, bridges, hospitals, complete in
18:38
Speaker 1: US a nonsense and propaganda poured into the minds of
18:41
Speaker 1: people in the UK. Just end this segment by a
18:45
Speaker 1: little bit of this interview I did with a former
18:47
Speaker 1: CIA agent, J. Michael Waller, where he was talking about
18:52
Speaker 1: the problems with the deep state. People are being broken
18:57
Speaker 1: down and therefore they're reacting or is this just normal?
19:02
Speaker 1: And yes, the agency is doing something effective by analyzing
19:07
Speaker 1: the behavior of the public to pre warn of a crime.
19:11
Speaker 6: If you ever met a lot of these social sciences
19:13
Speaker 6: and scientists and spent any time with them, you'll see
19:16
Speaker 6: that a lot of them fit the same profiles that
19:19
Speaker 6: they're applying to others. They're depressed, they have grievances, they
19:23
Speaker 6: have terrible family troubles, they feel alienated to their angry.
19:28
Speaker 6: So they're the ones who are diagnosing the rest of
19:33
Speaker 6: the public. And then with the increased rise and as
19:35
Speaker 6: you're pointing out the decay of society and the rise
19:39
Speaker 6: and mental illness and the grievances that even normal people
19:42
Speaker 6: will have, and the injustices they see in their own government,
19:45
Speaker 6: with say a two tiered system of justice, where people
19:50
Speaker 6: standing up for their national traditions are being discriminated against
19:53
Speaker 6: and even arrested, while newcomers coming in to destroy those
19:57
Speaker 6: institutions get favorable treatm and of course that's going to
20:01
Speaker 6: produce more anger. But it's not the new troublemakers that
20:04
Speaker 6: are going to be blamed and held accountable for it.
20:07
Speaker 6: It's the people who are trying to defend what's always
20:10
Speaker 6: been there, defend their national traditions, who are seen as
20:14
Speaker 6: the evildoers. What you have, though, when these social scientists
20:19
Speaker 6: come together and make reports the way you just summarize
20:21
Speaker 6: to the secret services that they're painting a huge segment
20:25
Speaker 6: of the society as prospective enemies. And therefore that logic
20:32
Speaker 6: demands more and more and more resources to a national
20:36
Speaker 6: security state and a surveillance state to watch everyone before
20:40
Speaker 6: they commit a crime. And this is where you get
20:43
Speaker 6: George Orwell walking right in and now all of a
20:46
Speaker 6: sudden we become Oceania.
20:51
Speaker 1: Critical interview in my opinion, But this very experienced man
20:55
Speaker 1: talking about the breakdown of the intelligence and security services,
20:59
Speaker 1: not only the but the WES to the extent that
21:02
Speaker 1: they're not doing their proper job. And we've got a
21:05
Speaker 1: further attack on our own society. The kid's table would
21:10
Speaker 1: probably be a good place to move on to, I
21:12
Speaker 1: think Patrick.
21:13
Speaker 2: We talked about the adults table before with the United
21:16
Speaker 2: States and Moscow. Well, this is the kid's table. They
21:19
Speaker 2: convened an emergency session in Paris, led by Emmanuel Macron.
21:24
Speaker 2: You can see the lovely Darth helmet Ursula Vanderline there
21:28
Speaker 2: in the foreground, with the new NATO Secretary General Mark Rute,
21:33
Speaker 2: an otherwise unimpressive number of people in suits sitting around
21:37
Speaker 2: the table. I believe the British prime ministers in the
21:40
Speaker 2: back there Kus Starmer So Europe's back together, Brian. This
21:44
Speaker 2: is a very exciting. So lots going on at the
21:46
Speaker 2: kids table, but what's not being discussed is this. And
21:51
Speaker 2: we're looking at the Finish press here and we spotted something.
21:54
Speaker 2: Thanks to our friend in Scandinavia, one of my research
21:59
Speaker 2: cohorts basically found this and we translated it here. This
22:03
Speaker 2: is from a Finish mep. Will give us a quick translation.
22:06
Speaker 2: The US has given three weeks to accept the Ukrainian surrender.
22:10
Speaker 2: This was told to Mika Atola. He is a Finish
22:14
Speaker 2: Member of Parliament for Europe. He said the US has
22:16
Speaker 2: issued an ultimatum demanding that Europe agree on terms of
22:20
Speaker 2: Ukraine's surrender within three weeks. If not, the US intends
22:24
Speaker 2: to withdraw its forces from Eastern Europe. Now that should
22:29
Speaker 2: be on the front page of the Guardian, should be
22:31
Speaker 2: on the front page of the Times, and then the BBC.
22:34
Speaker 2: But I've yet to see it, Brian.
22:36
Speaker 1: It's the wrong message. It's the wrong message. Patrick, unlikely,
22:40
Speaker 1: so pretty shocking.
22:42
Speaker 2: So well, if you see more about this, you know
22:44
Speaker 2: where you saw it first here And this is the
22:47
Speaker 2: real question here, desperate measures, the EU increasing defense spending
22:51
Speaker 2: for more in Ukraine, but for how long? For how long?
22:54
Speaker 2: The EU is now put together a six billion euro
22:58
Speaker 2: package for ze Leni to keep this losing war going. Meanwhile,
23:04
Speaker 2: the United States is basically having Reprochmont with Moscow, Brian.
23:08
Speaker 2: So if Russia is not a threat to the US,
23:11
Speaker 2: how could Russia be a threat to Europe unless Europe
23:14
Speaker 2: wants Russia to be a threat to it. This is
23:17
Speaker 2: the burning question. It's obvious now the masks are off, Brian.
23:20
Speaker 2: Everybody can see what the agenda is. So that's the question.
23:24
Speaker 2: How long will this go on? That's the big question.
23:29
Speaker 2: And everybody is losing their minds over this, not least
23:33
Speaker 2: of all one of our favorites here. This is one
23:35
Speaker 2: of the great tweets of the week. The Jewels says,
23:37
Speaker 2: how long before the science changes on this one. Piers
23:40
Speaker 2: Morgan Vladimer Zelenski is not a dictator, says Piers Morgan
23:45
Speaker 2: Vlatimir Putin is a dictator. Zelenski didn't start the war
23:48
Speaker 2: in Ukraine. Putin did. Hope this clarifies things for anybody
23:52
Speaker 2: who is confused. It's not as if Piers Morgan's ever
23:55
Speaker 2: been wrong about anything before Brian. He's always on point
23:59
Speaker 2: on every event. He's uncanny like that COVID vaccines, and
24:05
Speaker 2: the list goes on.
24:06
Speaker 1: He's part of the kids table. He's part of the
24:08
Speaker 1: kids table. Mark, let's bring you on screen, and you've
24:13
Speaker 1: been taking a look at the fair and reciprocal plans
24:17
Speaker 1: at the White House. What are you watching?
24:22
Speaker 2: Well?
24:23
Speaker 7: The report I gave last week. Good day, guys and
24:26
Speaker 7: listeners and viewers. The report I gave last week, And
24:29
Speaker 7: let's get that first light up there dealt with the
24:32
Speaker 7: White House's issuance of the reciprocal plan. And on thirteen February,
24:39
Speaker 7: President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum ordering the development
24:43
Speaker 7: of a comprehensive plan for restoring what he calls fairness
24:46
Speaker 7: in US trade relationships, encountering non reciprocal trading arrangements, and
24:51
Speaker 7: that plan seeks to correct long standing imbalances and international
24:55
Speaker 7: trade and ensure fairness across the board. That part is
24:58
Speaker 7: in red for emphasis. And moving on from there, the
25:02
Speaker 7: EU's trade representative, their Trade commissioner made an American Enterprise
25:09
Speaker 7: Institute AEI visit and that's this slide here. I covered
25:13
Speaker 7: it in real time and took some slides or some
25:16
Speaker 7: screenshots rather that are basically the same thing as photos
25:20
Speaker 7: as if you were there in person.
25:21
Speaker 2: Excuse me.
25:23
Speaker 7: And so that was the nineteenth of February, that program
25:25
Speaker 7: a couple of days ago. And this notation from AEI
25:29
Speaker 7: a very active think tank in think Tank Row there
25:32
Speaker 7: in DC along Messchussets Avenue where many of the major
25:35
Speaker 7: think tanks are located. The second Trump administration, they say,
25:39
Speaker 7: has announced and threatened to enact a range of disruptive
25:43
Speaker 7: and broadly protectionist trade policy changes. As America's allies and
25:47
Speaker 7: trading partners consider their response, uncertain d rains and then
25:52
Speaker 7: AEI welcomed Maros Sefcovic, the European Commissioner for Trade and
25:57
Speaker 7: Economic Security, for a conversation that day, this past Wednesday,
26:01
Speaker 7: and it was in the morning, and later that day
26:03
Speaker 7: he went to meet with Howard Lutnik, the Commerce Secretary,
26:07
Speaker 7: the newly seated one under Trump, and some other officials.
26:11
Speaker 7: This shows the main program presenters at the AEI program Wednesday,
26:16
Speaker 7: mar CEFKEBC the EU Trade Commissioners shown there to the left,
26:20
Speaker 7: and he was interviewed by senior fellow for AEI, Stan Voiger.
26:25
Speaker 7: And we can move on from there. And this is
26:30
Speaker 7: the world trade according tomorrow, Seph QEBC. And what I'm
26:34
Speaker 7: pointing out here happens to comport pretty well with what
26:37
Speaker 7: we were saying earlier today on the news. Just as
26:41
Speaker 7: the US and Europe are at odds over Ukraine, the
26:45
Speaker 7: US and the EU are definitely at odds over trade.
26:48
Speaker 7: And it's really two worlds colliding. It's two philosophies. And
26:52
Speaker 7: this is what the mainstream press, the mass media cartel,
26:55
Speaker 7: just does not report that. It's not a question so
26:58
Speaker 7: much of reaching an agreement on the EU conventional free
27:02
Speaker 7: trade terms, the conventional free trade philosophy, the US is
27:06
Speaker 7: seeking a different construct, a different system, a different philosophy.
27:11
Speaker 7: And that's what I'm clarifying now on this one.
27:15
Speaker 5: The EU.
27:17
Speaker 7: Let's go back to that slide there, because that's the
27:19
Speaker 7: main point that one there. This is what sep Quebec
27:23
Speaker 7: had to say. These were his main points. The EU
27:26
Speaker 7: is built on free trade among its members, opening up
27:30
Speaker 7: the world's trade is deeply embedded in the EU's DNA,
27:34
Speaker 7: he says, and he called it the world's largest trading block,
27:37
Speaker 7: with free trade agreements with seventy six countries. Seventy two
27:41
Speaker 7: of those leading trade countries account for thirty eight percent
27:44
Speaker 7: of the global GDP. The US EU relationship economic relationship,
27:49
Speaker 7: he said, is the largest in the world. He called
27:52
Speaker 7: it a win win partnership. Boeing and Airbus are made
27:55
Speaker 7: in the US, but with cutting edge electronic power systems
27:58
Speaker 7: and fuselages made in the US. Semiconductor production, he said,
28:03
Speaker 7: depends on EU made lithography machines, and US battle tanks
28:08
Speaker 7: and armored fighting vehicles, he said, rely on EU made
28:11
Speaker 7: drive trains and cannons, and quote even the US mint
28:15
Speaker 7: at this uses EU made high tech printing machines to
28:19
Speaker 7: print US dollars and prevent counterfeiting. Now, what needs to
28:23
Speaker 7: be pointed out there is the Trump trade philosophy is
28:28
Speaker 7: such where the US would make its own components for
28:33
Speaker 7: printing US dollars. It would make its own components drive
28:37
Speaker 7: trains for US military vehicles, and whatever is lacking in
28:41
Speaker 7: US production for Arabus and Boeing and things like that,
28:46
Speaker 7: they would be made primarily in US factories. In other words,
28:50
Speaker 7: the US, by all indications, is seeking to manufacture the
28:54
Speaker 7: very things that the EU is making right now, that's
28:57
Speaker 7: the divergence in philosophy is going. Apparently all indications the
29:03
Speaker 7: US is going for a more self sufficient nationalistic approach
29:09
Speaker 7: in major manufacturing. So Sephkovic, I think, is looking for
29:14
Speaker 7: something that the US just isn't wholly pursuing.
29:19
Speaker 4: Now.
29:19
Speaker 7: The next day, the Associated Press noted and I won't
29:23
Speaker 7: read all of this that hoping to head off a
29:25
Speaker 7: potential trade conflict, the top European trade official, Sephkeovic, stressed
29:31
Speaker 7: the importance of active engagement and fairness and a four
29:34
Speaker 7: hour meeting with Trump administration officials, and that was later
29:39
Speaker 7: that day. After he met with the AEI, he met
29:41
Speaker 7: with the E Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik, the White House
29:44
Speaker 7: National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, and Jamison Greer, President
29:49
Speaker 7: Donald Trump's nominee to be the US trade representative, and
29:53
Speaker 7: apparently he has not been seated at that position yet.
29:57
Speaker 7: Reuters also reported a little bit on this one. I
30:02
Speaker 7: marked in lighter, more bold letters the main part of it. Sepkevic,
30:07
Speaker 7: speaking to reporters after meetings on Wednesday with Trump's prop
30:11
Speaker 7: trade officials, said he saw some willingness on the part
30:14
Speaker 7: of the US to mutually reduce tariffs. But again, I
30:18
Speaker 7: think what he's missing there is that the US again
30:22
Speaker 7: is pursuing a different systematic or systemic approach. The US
30:27
Speaker 7: wants to replace some of the internal tax revenue with
30:30
Speaker 7: external tax revenue, to have the external revenue service more
30:34
Speaker 7: than the internal revenue service, as I've reported on here.
30:37
Speaker 7: So the US wants to raise tariffs, not so much
30:40
Speaker 7: to punish other countries, although some of that will happen
30:44
Speaker 7: sort of as a unavoidable effect, but to actually use
30:48
Speaker 7: that as a source of revenue.
30:51
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the EU.
30:52
Speaker 7: Is saying it has almost zero tariffs on something like
30:56
Speaker 7: seventy percent of its imports into the European Union, which
31:00
Speaker 7: means they're generating almost no revenue with tariffs. So what
31:04
Speaker 7: we're seeing here is just a two worlds colliding.
31:07
Speaker 2: Brian.
31:08
Speaker 7: It's it's two philosophies, and the ae I think tank
31:13
Speaker 7: and the media is trying to make everything. They're trying
31:17
Speaker 7: to break everything to the saddle or or make everything
31:20
Speaker 7: comport to the conventional free trade philosophy that the EU
31:25
Speaker 7: is following, which is the global world trade system that
31:28
Speaker 7: the w t O wants and that's the one that
31:31
Speaker 7: the Council on Foreign Relations, the major think tanks support,
31:34
Speaker 7: But the US is simply going in a different direction.
31:37
Speaker 7: And these other interests and these these other actors in
31:40
Speaker 7: this in this issue are just not acknowledging it. And
31:44
Speaker 7: that that's the sum, sum and substance of what's going on.
31:47
Speaker 2: Brian.
31:51
Speaker 1: It's it is amazing times with the scale of the
31:54
Speaker 1: differences now appearing, part of me says, we need to
31:58
Speaker 1: watch this very carefully because much as we've seen the
32:01
Speaker 1: tip for tap politics going on in both in UK
32:05
Speaker 1: between labor and conservatives, we're also seeing that that has
32:10
Speaker 1: happened in America. Are we now seeing that same tip
32:13
Speaker 1: for tap yaboo? Politics happening on a global scale to
32:18
Speaker 1: keep the wider public sye off the steady movement towards
32:23
Speaker 1: a one world government system of rules based international order.
32:27
Speaker 1: I think a lot of care and needed at the
32:29
Speaker 1: moment as we look at what's unfolding Patrick.
32:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, just quickly, Brian, what Mark has just
32:35
Speaker 2: shown you there is. It signals an end to the
32:38
Speaker 2: post World War two peace dividend. So where the US
32:41
Speaker 2: used to basically provide defense for Europe and allow open
32:45
Speaker 2: US markets for German products and so forth for the
32:48
Speaker 2: rebuilding and the lifting up of Europe, that's over. Now
32:52
Speaker 2: they're competitors. Now you're in a different situation, and the
32:55
Speaker 2: US has to be careful on this because they risk
32:59
Speaker 2: Europe face East. Now that might not be a bad
33:01
Speaker 2: thing for a lot of people, but the US might
33:04
Speaker 2: come to regret it. So there's pluses and minuses with
33:07
Speaker 2: this change of strategy from Washington. We shall see. We
33:10
Speaker 2: will see.
33:11

34:29
Speaker 1: so Patrick you're there alongside Alex Thompson, Catherine Gunn. More
34:34
Speaker 1: names to be released very soon, but I'm sure it's
34:38
Speaker 1: going to be a very very interesting event and i'd
34:41
Speaker 1: just like to remind people that I've started to put
34:44
Speaker 1: out what will be a series of cases about child
34:47
Speaker 1: stealing by the UK state. I know these interviews are
34:50
Speaker 1: very emotional, but if we cannot protect children, and we
34:54
Speaker 1: cannot protect our own families from the state, we are
34:58
Speaker 1: in a very, very danger urius position in this country.
35:01
Speaker 1: Never mind what is happening between Trump and Ukraine and
35:05
Speaker 1: the European Union. How do we do? How do we
35:09
Speaker 1: challenge what's happening. Well, that's standing up to be counting,
35:14
Speaker 1: and I want to say that of course Public Child
35:16
Speaker 1: Protection Wales, the men and women, women and men who've
35:20
Speaker 1: been involved in that have done an absolutely fantastic job.
35:23
Speaker 1: Twenty second of February, they've got a conference coming up
35:27
Speaker 1: and that'll be near Newport in South Wales, so have
35:30
Speaker 1: look at the website. We've also got the Scottish People's
35:33
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen inquiry Saturday, the twenty second of February, Lewiston Hall,
35:39
Speaker 1: twenty eight Larriston Street, Edinburgh, EH three nine DJ. That's
35:44
Speaker 1: twenty five pounds for an all day event. More people
35:48
Speaker 1: standing up to be counted and challenging the system, and
35:52
Speaker 1: this is so important. And then finally here we've got Sunday,
35:56
Speaker 1: March the sixteenth, ten am till six we've got the
36:03
Speaker 1: event supporting Farmers for Food Security Symposium. So this is
36:09
Speaker 1: very very important for all of us, and if your
36:11
Speaker 1: local can travel, please do go and support that. Now
36:16
Speaker 1: we're talking about people standing up to be counted, some
36:20
Speaker 1: immensely brave people across the world to literally risked their
36:24
Speaker 1: life in order to tell us what is happening and
36:27
Speaker 1: to get the truth out.
36:29
Speaker 2: Don't you pat one of those people. Brian is an
36:32
Speaker 2: American video blogger who became a citizen journalist during this
36:37
Speaker 2: Ukraine conflict. His name is Gonzalolera. Very popular on YouTube
36:41
Speaker 2: with a lot of people, and he found himself in
36:45
Speaker 2: the middle of a war. And thanks to our Ukrainian
36:48
Speaker 2: contacts for alerting this and what we've done is translated
36:52
Speaker 2: this from Ukrainian. A top whistleblower who Zelenski has thrown
36:56
Speaker 2: in prison in charge with treason. His name is Alexander Dubinski. Dubinski.
37:02
Speaker 2: While he was in hearing, he managed to get access
37:05
Speaker 2: to his YouTube channel with his lawyers and uploaded a
37:08
Speaker 2: video with evidence of the torture and the extortion of
37:13
Speaker 2: seventy thousand US dollars from Gonzalo before he was beaten
37:17
Speaker 2: and eventually died from the injuries from those beatings in custody. Now,
37:22
Speaker 2: the crazy thing about this story is, and we'll put
37:25
Speaker 2: this up this is at twenty first century wire the
37:27
Speaker 2: translation and you'll see there's a link to Dubinski's video
37:31
Speaker 2: at the end. Brian. But the US State Department had
37:34
Speaker 2: full knowledge of this. Tony Blinkeln had knowledge of this.
37:38
Speaker 2: Everybody in the Biden administration who should have known knew
37:42
Speaker 2: about this before the worst happened to gonzale Era. He
37:45
Speaker 2: could have been released in a matter of twenty four
37:48
Speaker 2: hours and basically taken out of the country. There's Alexander
37:51
Speaker 2: Dubinski right now. You can go to his telegram channel
37:54
Speaker 2: and it will also some of those will be translated
37:57
Speaker 2: automatically through telegram. But very brave, and I've got nothing
38:01
Speaker 2: but great things to say about Dubinski. He's a hero
38:04
Speaker 2: to a lot of people in Ukraine. But he's locked up.
38:06
Speaker 2: A lot of these political prisoners Brian, including journalists, including
38:09
Speaker 2: journalists we know are in prison still because they criticize
38:13
Speaker 2: Zlenski during this conflict. And so this is an incredible story.
38:18
Speaker 2: It's very sad, very tragic, but the truth has come out.
38:22
Speaker 2: The question is who's going to be held accountable for it?
38:25
Speaker 2: That's the question.
38:26
Speaker 1: That is the key question, because it seems that there
38:28
Speaker 1: are rules for some parts of society, some countries, and
38:32
Speaker 1: very different rules for others. But we can be sure
38:36
Speaker 1: the BBC is not going to be reporting that story
38:39
Speaker 1: in any real detail at all. So important what is
38:43
Speaker 1: the BBC doing with people's minds? Well, it's keeping the
38:48
Speaker 1: fear factor going with regards to Russia and China. So
38:52
Speaker 1: we've just got a head a slide here trouble in
38:56
Speaker 1: NATO Lake the Baltic Sea, because of course we're hearing
38:59
Speaker 1: more and all that NATO has got to put more
39:02
Speaker 1: and more military assets into the Baltic in order to
39:05
Speaker 1: ensure peace. But a couple of days ago I stumbled
39:09
Speaker 1: across this BBC article. Well it's more than an article
39:15
Speaker 1: Putin's secret weapon, the threat to the UK lurking on
39:19
Speaker 1: our sea beds, And this is actually a highly animated
39:24
Speaker 1: article by the BBC. It's got lots of information about
39:29
Speaker 1: how the undersea communication cables work where they're rooted, very
39:35
Speaker 1: very glossy interactive graphics, but of course, the whole point
39:40
Speaker 1: of this article is to ramp up fear in the
39:44
Speaker 1: UK population that it's that nasty Putin and Russia that's
39:49
Speaker 1: going to attack these under sea cables. The bottom you
39:53
Speaker 1: see the real quality of the BBC because it jumps
39:56
Speaker 1: from fear over put into East Enders. What more can
40:00
Speaker 1: we say, but if we start to if we start
40:04
Speaker 1: to pull this apart. The main message from the BBC
40:09
Speaker 1: was absolutely against Russia. NATO believes so no facts in
40:15
Speaker 1: that introductory headline. Russia believes. Russia is also waging another
40:19
Speaker 1: war and undeclared one hybrid warfare that's the target of
40:23
Speaker 1: Western Europe itself with the aim of punishing. Look at
40:27
Speaker 1: the language punishing or deterring Western nations from continuing their
40:32
Speaker 1: military support for Ukraine. And when you get into the article,
40:35
Speaker 1: so called experts give their opinion, there's very little detail.
40:40
Speaker 1: So this is Dr Sidharth Kurshut from RUSSI and he
40:46
Speaker 1: says that the Russian military has quite a tiered structure
40:49
Speaker 1: from spetsna's special forces motherships for deep sea operations, including
40:55
Speaker 1: former nuclear ballistic missile submarines and titanium holds submarines. This
41:00
Speaker 1: is hype commentary. There's no substance in this whole BBC article,
41:06
Speaker 1: and these individuals to me at least, seem to be
41:08
Speaker 1: brought in just to ram that hype home. This lady
41:13
Speaker 1: was buried about two thirds of the way through the article.
41:17
Speaker 1: Dr Camino cavena visiting senior fellow from King's College, London.
41:23
Speaker 1: She says that states may be drawn to this type
41:26
Speaker 1: of warfare under sea cable attacks because there's so much
41:30
Speaker 1: possibility of plausible deniability, and of course plausible deniability so
41:36
Speaker 1: handy for NATO because it can bury a lot of
41:39
Speaker 1: truth with plausible deniability. But if we look at this
41:43
Speaker 1: lady's work, here is a document that she wrote for
41:46
Speaker 1: the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research, and even when
41:51
Speaker 1: we get into the many, many pages of this report,
41:56
Speaker 1: it also says that the risk is very low. They
41:59
Speaker 1: also include reports of intentional state backed cable sabotage, examples
42:05
Speaker 1: of which still fortunately remain few. So the BBC uses
42:10
Speaker 1: somebody who's actually telling people that there's a low risk,
42:14
Speaker 1: and the BBC ramps it up into a high risk.
42:18
Speaker 1: She goes on, there've also been concerns that terrorist groups
42:22
Speaker 1: could disrupt critical infrastructure including critical communications infrastructures such as
42:28
Speaker 1: submarine cables. And this is the meat of the comment.
42:33
Speaker 1: These concerns even made it into a Security Council resolution,
42:38
Speaker 1: but no such event has ever transpired, at least to
42:42
Speaker 1: public knowledge. So the BBC's article is hype fear that
42:48
Speaker 1: there's going to be Russian attacks on this infrastructure. But
42:51
Speaker 1: when you look at the reports experts who are mentioned
42:55
Speaker 1: did the article have made, it tells the complete opposite story. Rageous, Patrick,
43:01
Speaker 1: and I did quite know how the UK calum gets
43:03
Speaker 1: this across to our audience, Brian.
43:06
Speaker 2: They put if they put even one percent of the
43:08
Speaker 2: effort they put into this into investigating the nord Stream pipelines.
43:12
Speaker 2: This is total gaslighting. This is why our media is
43:15
Speaker 2: getting us to focus on theoretical threats to cables on
43:19
Speaker 2: the bottom of the Baltic But Brian, because other things
43:22
Speaker 2: were going on on the seabed regarding pipelines. Okay, And
43:26
Speaker 2: they're emptying the cul de sac of propaganda right now
43:29
Speaker 2: in anticipation that that story is going to end up breaking. Well,
43:32
Speaker 2: it could be peace, there could be, but with Trump,
43:35
Speaker 2: you never know. There could be an investigation into this,
43:38
Speaker 2: and they'll lay it at the feet of Gazoo Joe Biden.
43:42
Speaker 2: Job done, So, Brian, just to validate your speculation there,
43:46
Speaker 2: This is from the United Nations. They conclude here this
43:49
Speaker 2: is their special representative. The deputy head of the UN's
43:52
Speaker 2: International Telecommunications Union has said that phishing trawlers not Russian
43:58
Speaker 2: sabotage or respond well, for they're the unseen culprits, if
44:02
Speaker 2: you will, of the underwater cable damage in the Baltic Sea.
44:05
Speaker 2: So this an official sort of admission there, Brian. So
44:08
Speaker 2: I think the BBC somehow missed that.
44:11
Speaker 1: They didn't like that story. So they didn't like that
44:14
Speaker 1: at all, Patrick, because it doesn't meet the narrative. Now
44:20
Speaker 1: this was also your section, Sorry, Patrick, this was also
44:24
Speaker 1: your section on the.
44:25
Speaker 2: Oh this well, this is a big story. This is
44:27
Speaker 2: the new FBI director, Cash Pattel. He is defending the
44:32
Speaker 2: January sixth political prisoners, one of the guys who exposed Russiagate,
44:37
Speaker 2: one of the key people. So he is now in
44:40
Speaker 2: charge of the FBI. Can you believe it. So people
44:42
Speaker 2: are being fired, they're disassembling all of these co intel
44:48
Speaker 2: pro programs. This is an amazing thing. This could be
44:51
Speaker 2: the most consequential appointment of the entire Trump administration, Brian,
44:56
Speaker 2: because all of the dirty business has been going on
44:58
Speaker 2: to successive administry, the FBI may be coming to an end.
45:02
Speaker 2: But here's the reaction. This is how the Rolling Stones
45:05
Speaker 2: reporting it. Republicans confirm Maggot conspiracy theorist as FBI director.
45:10
Speaker 2: So we still have this schism in America. We still
45:12
Speaker 2: have the polarization, and Adam Schiff and some of these
45:16
Speaker 2: Russiagate people that really led the hoax for all these years.
45:21
Speaker 2: Their shift is outside the FBI headquarters yesterday morning protesting
45:26
Speaker 2: the confirmation of Cash Pattel. And we have a video
45:29
Speaker 2: montage here which I think is quite amusing but very
45:33
Speaker 2: very hard hitting. Let's go ahead and look at this.
45:37
Speaker 8: This is someone we cannot trust. This is someone who
45:40
Speaker 8: lacks the character to do this job, someone who lacks
45:43
Speaker 8: the integrity to do this job. We know that our
45:46
Speaker 8: Republican colleagues know that the only qualification Cash Battela has
45:51
Speaker 8: to be FBI director is that when everyone else in
45:56
Speaker 8: the first Trump administration said no, I won't do that
46:00
Speaker 8: that crosses moral, ethical and legal lines, Cash Battel said,
46:04
Speaker 8: sign me up. In the first Charge administration, as we
46:08
Speaker 8: are seeing in the second you rise to the level
46:11
Speaker 8: of your sick offancye. And no one is a bigger
46:14
Speaker 8: or a dangerous sick efent than cash Battel. This political
46:19
Speaker 8: hack does not deserve to be in this building. He
46:23
Speaker 8: can't do the job. He won't protect the public, he
46:27
Speaker 8: will misuse the resources.
46:29
Speaker 6: Of the Bureau.
46:30
Speaker 8: He will reaponize it against the President's political opponents, rather
46:33
Speaker 8: than the protecting the safety, the public safety of the
46:37
Speaker 8: American people.
46:38
Speaker 9: That Adam Schiff is the worst criminal in Congress in
46:42
Speaker 9: the last two hudred and fifty years, and wal Britz
46:44
Speaker 9: broke that we're going to talk about right now is
46:48
Speaker 9: Adam Schiff met with a whistle blower. Adam Schiff went
46:51
Speaker 9: to the podium day after day after day saying I
46:53
Speaker 9: know nothing about this. We're not going to discuss it.
46:55
Speaker 9: We're going to protect it. And then he Adam Schiff
46:58
Speaker 9: led the prosecution of the impeachment trial in the Senate
47:03
Speaker 9: of President Donald Trump. Talk about someone who was conflicted
47:07
Speaker 9: out of the game because he was part of the
47:09
Speaker 9: hoax that brought Charmela in, manufactured that false accusation and
47:15
Speaker 9: then pedaled it out to the world, and he continued,
47:18
Speaker 9: you know, not surprising. He's lied about almost everything in
47:20
Speaker 9: his life, but now he lied just to set up
47:23
Speaker 9: a presidential peachment. And that's what I was talking about,
47:24
Speaker 9: these disinformation campaigns. And then he should be investigated because
47:29
Speaker 9: he lied to the world about his interactions with Tarmela,
47:32
Speaker 9: who is a whistleblower. And I can't stress it enough
47:34
Speaker 9: that started a presidential impeachment. Now your history is way
47:38
Speaker 9: better than mine, but I can't remember the last time
47:39
Speaker 9: a president was actually impeached. It's a significant process and escalation,
47:44
Speaker 9: and it's reserved for the time when it actually shows
47:48
Speaker 9: a crime, not when it shows the manufacture of fake
47:51
Speaker 9: information to show a fake crime. The guy that found
47:55
Speaker 9: and manufactured the evidence with Charmela was the prosecutor in
47:59
Speaker 9: the case against the target of the investigation. That is
48:03
Speaker 9: the ultimate from a prosecutor standpoint, conflict of interest. But
48:06
Speaker 9: he knew what he was doing and he thought he
48:08
Speaker 9: would never get exposed. And I think thanks to you know,
48:11
Speaker 9: I think it was John Solomon, this fantastic reporting. We
48:13
Speaker 9: now see what I've been saying for years that I
48:15
Speaker 9: thought he met with him for shore and it will
48:17
Speaker 9: come out, and it now has.
48:20
Speaker 2: Unbelievable. So that was two years ago. Cash Bettel did
48:23
Speaker 2: that interview Brian, he had no idea he would be
48:26
Speaker 2: FBI director. So this is an incredible flip that's happened,
48:31
Speaker 2: and it's going to be amazing how how many inquiries
48:34
Speaker 2: investigations according to Steve Bann and they've got them all
48:37
Speaker 2: lined up and they're actually going to be pressing on
48:40
Speaker 2: all of these things that happened over the last couple
48:42
Speaker 2: of years.
48:44
Speaker 1: But wherever we look, there's to morel in politics, and
48:48
Speaker 1: people are going to be very careful looking through the
48:51
Speaker 1: smoke and membors to see what's going on. Mark, let's
48:54
Speaker 1: bring you back with us, and you've been having a
48:57
Speaker 1: look at JD. Vence and leader of the full right
49:00
Speaker 1: German political party.
49:04
Speaker 7: Yeah, we've had so much news on Donald Trump, and
49:07
Speaker 7: kudos to Patrick for bringing out Pash Pateel. That report's
49:11
Speaker 7: very important. But let's focus a little bit on Trump's
49:14
Speaker 7: deputy a little more. JD. Vance, the Vice president. Of course,
49:18
Speaker 7: a week ago he was in Munich for the Security
49:21
Speaker 7: Conference and he blasted Europe over immigration and censorship of
49:24
Speaker 7: free speech. He's saying they're being unfair and really targeting
49:28
Speaker 7: right leaning people in political parties. But Vance had the
49:33
Speaker 7: temerity to actually be fair and meet with all four
49:37
Speaker 7: major German political parties in the process, and that included
49:41
Speaker 7: Elis Wheedel, the leader of the so called far right
49:45
Speaker 7: Alternative for Germany or AfD. He also met with German
49:48
Speaker 7: President Frank Walter Steinmeier and Chancellor Oloff Schultz earlier in
49:53
Speaker 7: the week in Paris. So I guess Vance is to
49:57
Speaker 7: be forgiven for being even handed on this. But now
50:00
Speaker 7: a twenty year old think tank they turned twenty this year,
50:03
Speaker 7: as I understand it, The Center for European Policy Analysis
50:07
Speaker 7: or SIPA picked out not just the German sins that
50:12
Speaker 7: Vance is supposedly committing, but also Romania, according to this headline,
50:17
Speaker 7: is having its hard right boosted by bans and writing
50:22
Speaker 7: a wave of disillusion with the political establishment. Romania's pro
50:26
Speaker 7: Russian right wing right wing has been given an even
50:30
Speaker 7: greater gift, excuse me, and that is backing from the US.
50:33
Speaker 7: That's a nineteen February article from SIPA, and basically Vance
50:39
Speaker 7: used that speech at a Munique security conference on Valentine's
50:42
Speaker 7: Day to attack totalitarianism in Europe, and he singled out
50:48
Speaker 7: Romania's canceled presidential election. This is according to Sipa, as
50:53
Speaker 7: he accused Ukraine's allies in the European Union of being
50:56
Speaker 7: the enemy within and afraid of their own people. Vice
51:00
Speaker 7: President said the invalidation of the election in Romania was
51:03
Speaker 7: an undemocratic attempt to deny to deny the voters their
51:07
Speaker 7: choice in Romania. It's hard to think of such language
51:10
Speaker 7: being aimed at Romania by the US at any time
51:13
Speaker 7: since the nineteen eighty nine revolution and so on. Bucharest
51:18
Speaker 7: annulled November's presidential election, in which the far right pro
51:21
Speaker 7: Russian outsider Calan i'll say Georgieshu came first after the
51:28
Speaker 7: Constitutional Court rule there had been significant interference from Russia
51:32
Speaker 7: to boost his chances. So, in other words, mister Vance
51:37
Speaker 7: is very critical that Europe is not accepting the election
51:43
Speaker 7: results in Romania, and he feels there's a lot of
51:45
Speaker 7: censorship going on and a lot of hypocrisy going on.
51:49
Speaker 7: We'll look at this next live. Let's put this one up.
51:51
Speaker 7: I'll just cite mostly what I highlighted and read such
51:56
Speaker 7: a victory. This is according also to see the think
52:02
Speaker 7: tank that I mentioned. Such a victory would weaken Romania's
52:05
Speaker 7: commitment to NATO and the EU and cause problems for
52:09
Speaker 7: the Western Alliance and the strategic Black Sea region and
52:12
Speaker 7: on Europe's eastern flank, all of which would be good
52:15
Speaker 7: news for Russia, which seeks to roll back NATO's eastward expansion,
52:20
Speaker 7: and Romania join NATO in.
52:22
Speaker 2: Two thousand and four. So JD.
52:26
Speaker 7: Vance is really reading the Riot Act to the Europeans again,
52:30
Speaker 7: calling them hypocrites and saying that really they're the ones
52:34
Speaker 7: that are being tyrannical. Don't just look at Russia, don't
52:37
Speaker 7: just look at the right wing. It's the overall EU
52:40
Speaker 7: globalist establishment that is a large part of the problem.
52:43
Speaker 7: And here's the main points that Vance made, and these
52:46
Speaker 7: are very important. The media is not talking about these points.
52:51
Speaker 7: They keep everything hyper fixated on Vance supposedly giving aid
52:56
Speaker 7: and comfort to the far right German Party, supposedly giving
53:00
Speaker 7: aid and comfort to the Romanian far right. But Vance
53:03
Speaker 7: had much more to say, as the media has been
53:06
Speaker 7: basically keeping under wraps.
53:08
Speaker 2: He had this to say.
53:10
Speaker 7: Last October, the Scottish government distributed leaflets to citizens whose
53:14
Speaker 7: houses are within safe access zones, suggesting private prayer even
53:19
Speaker 7: in one's own home maybe illegal, as Vance told the
53:23
Speaker 7: Munich Security Conference. He also said at that conference that
53:26
Speaker 7: in Brussels, EU commissioners have warren citizens that they'd shut
53:30
Speaker 7: down social media during times of civil unrest if they
53:33
Speaker 7: spot what they define as hateful content. And Vance also
53:37
Speaker 7: announced at the conference that in the UK, the government
53:40
Speaker 7: charged Adam smith Connor, an army veteran, quote, with the
53:44
Speaker 7: heinous crime of standing fifty meters from an abortion clinic
53:48
Speaker 7: and silently praying for three minutes. And Adam smith Connor,
53:52
Speaker 7: as I understand it, had to pay a very large fine,
53:55
Speaker 7: so he actually was convicted. Anyway, This next quote from
54:01
Speaker 7: Bands pretty much sums things up. He had this to
54:04
Speaker 7: say at that conference, how will you even begin to
54:07
Speaker 7: think through defense spending related budgeting questions if we don't
54:11
Speaker 7: know what it is we're defending in the first place,
54:15
Speaker 7: Which is a very telling quote, because what he's saying
54:17
Speaker 7: is if Europe is not going to practice that is,
54:21
Speaker 7: the EU is not going to practice genuine free speech
54:25
Speaker 7: and be open to all of views. And even if
54:27
Speaker 7: they disagree with someone, they defend their right to say it.
54:30
Speaker 7: Everybody gets a chance to speak, everybody gets a chance
54:33
Speaker 7: to be influential in forming the policies of the EU.
54:38
Speaker 7: If they don't uphold genuine freedom, then what is there
54:42
Speaker 7: to defend? And you know, these kind of these kind
54:46
Speaker 7: of sentiments so much much the saint could be said
54:49
Speaker 7: of Great Britain or even the United States. If we
54:52
Speaker 7: if we run contrary to our constitutional order, if we
54:55
Speaker 7: run rough shot over our constitutions, what are we asking
54:59
Speaker 7: our soul to defend? Because they take an oath to
55:02
Speaker 7: uphold and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
55:06
Speaker 7: If you don't practice constitutional government, there's nothing to defend.
55:10
Speaker 7: That's basically what advances summarizing.
55:13
Speaker 1: So back to you guys, thank you, thank you for
55:15
Speaker 1: that more well, absolutely critical points. And it's one of
55:20
Speaker 1: the things that we forget about our constitution and what
55:23
Speaker 1: the proper rule of law is and freedom of speech.
55:26
Speaker 1: If we allow these things to be taken away from us,
55:29
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter whether we live in the United States
55:31
Speaker 1: or Germany or UK or France or any other country.
55:36
Speaker 1: You're essentially gone as a nation and as a community
55:40
Speaker 1: and as an individual. So we need to stay focused
55:43
Speaker 1: on this. But democracy in Germany part as German said
55:48
Speaker 1: to the pops or not.
55:49
Speaker 2: As soon as as soon as the Munich's finished. The
55:53
Speaker 2: elections are upon us in Germany, in the political scene,
55:56
Speaker 2: the playing field and Europe, all eyes are on Germany
55:58
Speaker 2: right now. Germany has the post. There's Frederick Mrs. That
56:01
Speaker 2: is the anticipated winner here, future Chancellor of Germany. Probably
56:07
Speaker 2: going to be a majority minority coalition again but AfD
56:12
Speaker 2: second biggest party probably by the end of this. But
56:16
Speaker 2: will they take charge, Probably not, but who knows. We'll
56:19
Speaker 2: see what happens in the back room deals beforehand, before
56:24
Speaker 2: everything's said and done, so we will have a new chancellor.
56:28
Speaker 2: That's guaranteed in Germany. He's very if it's Frederick Murrs.
56:32
Speaker 2: He's quite straightforward, he's quite outspoken, not that big in
56:37
Speaker 2: difference of Policy's very pro Ukrainian, very sort of stand
56:40
Speaker 2: office with Russia. But apparently people are saying that he
56:45
Speaker 2: might get on better with Trump because he's more direct,
56:48
Speaker 2: So that will be an interesting development if that happens.
56:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, And finally Israel, the Middle.
56:55
Speaker 2: East, Well, we have to show you this one because
56:58
Speaker 2: this really just takes the biscuit. Brian. Here, this is
57:01
Speaker 2: what happened in Israel just yesterday. Here, multiple bus explosions
57:07
Speaker 2: in Israel put the country on quote terrorism alert. Now
57:11
Speaker 2: there's the fig picture there and exploded bus. Brian, what
57:13
Speaker 2: do we have here? Five explosive devices, three empty buses right,
57:18
Speaker 2: an unidentifiable body and what does Netanyahu do? After the explosions?
57:24
Speaker 2: President Benjamin Etnahu's office said in a statement that he
57:27
Speaker 2: had instructed the military to carry out a massive operation
57:31
Speaker 2: in the West Bank targeting quote militant hubs has ordered
57:34
Speaker 2: the Police Intelligence Force to step up preventive measures in
57:38
Speaker 2: Israeli cities to thwart any subsequent attempted attacks. Now, Brian,
57:42
Speaker 2: is it just me or are you getting false flag
57:45
Speaker 2: vibes here?
57:47
Speaker 1: It's always too easy. An event takes place and then
57:50
Speaker 1: the reaction to that event you look at it and
57:53
Speaker 1: you say, yeah, this is very convenient, because that was
57:56
Speaker 1: the agenda in the first place. So I must say
57:59
Speaker 1: I am highly suspicious of this sort of thing. And
58:02
Speaker 1: if bombs go off. We had bombs being let off
58:06
Speaker 1: in UK when we had problems in Northern Ireland and
58:09
Speaker 1: with the IRA and the result was not a massive
58:12
Speaker 1: operation targeting people across Northern Ireland. It was a measured
58:18
Speaker 1: response to try and calm the situation and deal with
58:22
Speaker 1: the people who were the terrorists. So these massive operations,
58:27
Speaker 1: this just says to me that the agenda is really
58:30
Speaker 1: to carry out something strategic, and the bomb is a
58:34
Speaker 1: very convenient initiator of that policy.
58:39
Speaker 2: Three ran three buses in a parking lot empty brand,
58:42
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, and they've wanted to expand military
58:45
Speaker 2: operations to push Palestinians out of the West Bank, to
58:49
Speaker 2: turn it into a new gaza. Why what is the
58:52
Speaker 2: agenda behind this? Well, it can only be this, which
58:55
Speaker 2: is what's known as the Greater Israel Project, is no
59:00
Speaker 2: longer conspiracy theory, ladies and gentlemen. This is actual spoken
59:04
Speaker 2: policy by some of the leading cabinet members in Nettigna
59:08
Speaker 2: who's far right. When I say far right, I mean
59:11
Speaker 2: very very far right Lakudite coalition in Israel. So this
59:15
Speaker 2: is a backup on screen. This is net Yang at
59:18
Speaker 2: the United Nations showing his map of the new Middle East.
59:21
Speaker 1: And that was done, from my memory, that was done
59:26
Speaker 1: in such a casual, relaxed way. He was there talking
59:29
Speaker 1: and then he suddenly produced a cardboard map which he
59:34
Speaker 1: could hold up. So this this was very unusual way
59:38
Speaker 1: to present something.
59:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's giving it away. You can see the
59:42
Speaker 2: little there's no Palestine there. You can see that map
59:45
Speaker 2: that was before October seventh. He was sending a signal,
59:48
Speaker 2: so the st world was coming. He was sending a signal,
59:50
Speaker 2: so no surprise there. So that's unfortunate.
59:55
Speaker 1: Well, let's I was going to say, let's end on
59:59
Speaker 1: a happy notes, but of course it's black humor as always,
1:00:02
Speaker 1: because that's what fits the reality of the world in
1:00:06
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five.
1:00:07
Speaker 2: Flu, that's right, Brian. Well, as people may or may
1:00:11
Speaker 2: not know, Brian, bird flu season is apparently coming, we're
1:00:15
Speaker 2: told anyway, get ready, there's vaccines being prepared in factories
1:00:20
Speaker 2: near you. And this is a meme that we're circulating
1:00:23
Speaker 2: here on Instagram, and we have to give credit to
1:00:25
Speaker 2: Peggy Hall, the Healthy American. She's got an amazing blog.
1:00:29
Speaker 2: So she's saying here that the flu symptoms, okay, fever, aches, chills, cough, fatigue, nausea,
1:00:36
Speaker 2: stuff he knows, sore throat. Bird flu symptoms, however, are fever, aches, chills, coughing, fatigue, nausea,
1:00:44
Speaker 2: stuff he knows, sore throat. So it's hard to tell
1:00:47
Speaker 2: the difference between the regular Lurgie and the new bird lurgy. Brian,
1:00:54
Speaker 2: does this sound familiar to you at all?
1:00:56
Speaker 1: Well, it all makes sense because it's more fear, isn't it,
1:00:59
Speaker 1: And the population is to be drowned in fear so
1:01:03
Speaker 1: that we can be more easily controlled. Perhaps we could
1:01:06
Speaker 1: just end by saying that UK Column team very aware
1:01:11
Speaker 1: that a lot of people finding it very hard to
1:01:14
Speaker 1: live in a world where this propaganda and fear is
1:01:17
Speaker 1: being thrown at them every hour of every day. So
1:01:20
Speaker 1: we'd like to say, if you're watching UK Column, please
1:01:23
Speaker 1: do share the information that we're putting out, but also
1:01:27
Speaker 1: take time out for yourself, because the stronger you stay
1:01:31
Speaker 1: as an individual, the better place you are not only
1:01:35
Speaker 1: to defend yourself and your family, but also to take
1:01:41
Speaker 1: further steps joining up with other people. So look after
1:01:44
Speaker 1: yourself first, take time out to relax, don't let the
1:01:48
Speaker 1: propaganda get you down. This is the key way to
1:01:52
Speaker 1: fight this battle. And I'll end with a note that
1:01:55
Speaker 1: as we started the news today, somebody said in our
1:01:58
Speaker 1: chat box one day soon I want to turn on
1:02:02
Speaker 1: the news, smile and here there is peace on earth.
1:02:07
Speaker 1: And I'm going to say what a lovely thought that is.
1:02:10
Speaker 1: But we've all got a lot of work to do
1:02:12
Speaker 1: in order to root out these appalling people who are
1:02:16
Speaker 1: using policies to simply cause mayhem wherever it is in
1:02:21
Speaker 1: the world and whichever country they're dealing with. So we'll
1:02:25
Speaker 1: end on that news Patrick, thank you for joining me. Mark,
