Speaker 1: It was six. I think about Garro see the talk station.
0:04
Speaker 1: It's Tuesday, it is time. I always look forward to
0:07
Speaker 1: this the Insight Scoop at breit Bart is and I
0:08
Speaker 1: always start out the segment by saying, book mark the
0:10
Speaker 1: page bright bartbr e I t b a art dot com.
0:14
Speaker 1: You'm be glad you did, because you'll get to read
0:16
Speaker 1: from uh well, things that London Bureau Chief Oliver Laine
0:19
Speaker 1: writes about, among others at breit Bart. Welcome back, Oliver Lane,
0:23
Speaker 1: London Bureau Chief at breit Bart. Is a pleasure to
0:25
Speaker 1: have you back on the show. My friend, Well, thank
0:27
Speaker 1: you for inviting me. It's a great pleasure. Indeed, well,
0:29
Speaker 1: I appreciate it because yesterday Prime Minister Keir Starmer told
0:34
Speaker 1: are set out loud he doesn't believe in regime change
0:36
Speaker 1: from the Skies, defending his decision to not allow the
0:39
Speaker 1: United States to use British bases for the initial wave
0:42
Speaker 1: of attacks on Iran. Then he kind of pivoted and said,
0:45
Speaker 1: well US can have access to the basis for defensive
0:49
Speaker 1: strikes in response to Iran's retaliatory tax. So I guess
0:54
Speaker 1: as a quick point of order, I got to ask,
0:56
Speaker 1: is someone keeping track and pointing out is there a
0:59
Speaker 1: fundamental differference between offensive and defensive flights? Are you keeping
1:04
Speaker 1: track of what airplane is being flown out of any
1:06
Speaker 1: given UK air base that it is? Oh, that's a
1:08
Speaker 1: defensive plane versus an offensive plane and sortie it just
1:12
Speaker 1: seemed like, I don't know, maybe not even a distinction.
1:15
Speaker 1: That's why we have you, Oliver Lane, what's going on
1:17
Speaker 1: here with the United Kingdom's response to this military activity?
1:21
Speaker 2: Indeed, Yeah, it's a very fine line there, and secure Starmer,
1:25
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister has not been a tall clear aspout
1:27
Speaker 2: what exactly he meant about this, Because of course, if
1:30
Speaker 2: you're talking about really purely defensive, that means putting up
1:34
Speaker 2: what air interception fighters which have air towear missiles. They're
1:38
Speaker 2: up there to take down drones, uranium fighters, missiles. But
1:42
Speaker 2: as we know, not just from this conflict, but from
1:45
Speaker 2: every other conflict in modern history Ukraine, etc. What's the
1:49
Speaker 2: most effective, fool proof and cost effective way to stop
1:55
Speaker 2: enemy missiles? Well, it's to take them out before they launch.
1:57
Speaker 2: You take them out on the ground. True, So is
1:59
Speaker 2: that in included in this deal? I suspect not, because
2:03
Speaker 2: that's essentially what this whole package of strikes the President
2:07
Speaker 2: Trump and Israel launch over the weekend is about it's
2:10
Speaker 2: about hitting these things on the ground before then get
2:13
Speaker 2: in the air. And when you open there, you mentioned
2:15
Speaker 2: about kised Arma, our wonderful left wing globalist prime minister
2:21
Speaker 2: over here in the UK, and these comments he made
2:24
Speaker 2: about what Trump was doing and saying that the UK
2:29
Speaker 2: doesn't believe in regime change from the air, and it
2:32
Speaker 2: was layering on the criticism and it's really only barely
2:37
Speaker 2: below the surface, saying that the UK can't take military
2:42
Speaker 2: action that it considers unlawful. What does that imply He
2:45
Speaker 2: believes that the US action is unlawful, It can't take
2:48
Speaker 2: action that's not thought through, doesn't have a conclusion in mind.
2:51
Speaker 2: What does that imply, Well, it implies he believes that
2:55
Speaker 2: President Trump is flying blind on this. He's just launched
2:57
Speaker 2: the attack and has no endgame in mind. So, yeah,
3:00
Speaker 2: this is I don't know if you want to call
3:02
Speaker 2: it insulting. I don't know if you respect kiss Starmer
3:05
Speaker 2: enough to think anything he says could possibly be insulting.
3:08
Speaker 2: But he's certainly trying to make clear what he thinks
3:11
Speaker 2: about Trump, and it ain't a lot.
3:14
Speaker 1: Well, there's sort of half step, half measure using him
3:17
Speaker 1: for defensive purposes. That sounds to me like he's trying
3:19
Speaker 1: to have his cake and eat it too. Well, you know,
3:21
Speaker 1: we're gonna let use him for some things which maybe
3:23
Speaker 1: appease the you know, the US government, or maybe is
3:26
Speaker 1: or anybody else who's in favor of the conflict. But
3:29
Speaker 1: there have been many suggestions, and I'm not bringing it
3:31
Speaker 1: up as a unique thought myself, but that it may
3:34
Speaker 1: be that Kers Starmer's struggling with the fact that you
3:37
Speaker 1: have a very sizable Muslim population. We know that very well.
3:40
Speaker 1: It's been building for years and years and years. I
3:43
Speaker 1: mean how Elvis Costello wrote about it back in the
3:46
Speaker 1: day London is full of Arabs, remember that from from
3:50
Speaker 1: the song from Elvis Costello back in the day. Is
3:53
Speaker 1: that the problem is he afraid of his the residents
3:56
Speaker 1: of the UK that have a very substantial presidence in
3:59
Speaker 1: the Muslim community and probably aren' in favor of what's
4:01
Speaker 1: going on.
4:02
Speaker 2: Thank you for quoting on this, Corcello to mean that,
4:04
Speaker 2: but a big spile on my face. You and I
4:09
Speaker 2: don't need to make these points about is Starma trying
4:13
Speaker 2: to appease a particular voting block in the UK. We
4:17
Speaker 2: don't need to do that, because President Trump did it
4:20
Speaker 2: for us this morning. He went out there and said
4:22
Speaker 2: it pretty pretty clearly when he was spoke to a
4:25
Speaker 2: British newspaper, the Sun, and said that he was like
4:28
Speaker 2: very disappointed with the with Starmer and the UK. And actually,
4:31
Speaker 2: if you look at the language that he used, I'm
4:33
Speaker 2: going to read this quote out here in a second.
4:36
Speaker 2: I think it's pretty clear that President Trump is actually
4:39
Speaker 2: shocked and upset by the degree to which Britain, which
4:44
Speaker 2: is a country he clearly loves, has let him down.
4:47
Speaker 2: Now that this is a tragedy, because it's not really
4:50
Speaker 2: Britain that's leaving him down at all. It's a kiss Starmer,
4:52
Speaker 2: our prime minister, who, by the way, is the least
4:55
Speaker 2: popular British prime minister in the history of polling, in
4:59
Speaker 2: the history of all data. He has the lowest opinionatium
5:02
Speaker 2: any leader ever. So it's not like the British people
5:05
Speaker 2: are standing four square behind him on this decision. But
5:07
Speaker 2: I'm going to read this quote out to you. President
5:09
Speaker 2: Trump said, and I quote, I never thought i'd see that.
5:13
Speaker 2: I never thought i'd see that from the UK. We
5:16
Speaker 2: love the UK, and he said about Britain, it's also
5:20
Speaker 2: not such a recognizable country. London is a very different
5:24
Speaker 2: place with a terrible mayor. You have a terrible mayor
5:26
Speaker 2: there some terrible people, but it's a very different place.
5:29
Speaker 2: And this is when he was being asked by the
5:31
Speaker 2: newspaper whether he thought that, as you said at the
5:34
Speaker 2: beginning of the segment, you know, Starmer is essentially having
5:37
Speaker 2: to appease a particular block of voters, and I think
5:40
Speaker 2: that's absolutely right. So what I want to mention here
5:43
Speaker 2: is we had a very important special election here just
5:47
Speaker 2: last week Thursday last week, and this was in a
5:50
Speaker 2: what you would call a true Labor heartland, a safe seat.
5:54
Speaker 2: The Labor Party has been active in British politics for
5:56
Speaker 2: about one hundred years, about a century early nineteen twenties.
6:00
Speaker 2: This seat has been Labor for one hundred years. It
6:04
Speaker 2: has won every single election there for a century. So
6:07
Speaker 2: if they can't win there, they cannot win anywhere. That's
6:10
Speaker 2: the point I'm trying to make. And guess what special
6:13
Speaker 2: election last week Labor came third. This is our left
6:17
Speaker 2: wing party smashed into third place, and by who, by
6:22
Speaker 2: a pro Gaza, Pro Palestine, sectarian interest party who came first?
6:29
Speaker 2: So wow. The situation we're in now is that for
6:32
Speaker 2: decades the Labor Party has been the main political beneficiary
6:37
Speaker 2: of Britain's policy of mass migration. People have come here
6:40
Speaker 2: in great numbers. They've been converted into paper citizens, they
6:43
Speaker 2: have been given their passports. Then they've got the vote,
6:46
Speaker 2: to the right to vote, and who, generally speaking have
6:49
Speaker 2: they voted for? The All the data we have shows
6:52
Speaker 2: they have voted for the Labor Party. Labour has controlled
6:55
Speaker 2: those votes, and particularly in Muslim communities, it's it's block voting,
6:59
Speaker 2: which by the way, is illegal. But that's just one
7:01
Speaker 2: of those things that we're too polite as Britain's to
7:03
Speaker 2: talk about. And it goes on and on. But now
7:05
Speaker 2: we're in a position, as we have seen from last week,
7:08
Speaker 2: in this new era of British politics, of secretarian British politics,
7:12
Speaker 2: those migrant communities are becoming more I guess, confident of themselves.
7:16
Speaker 2: They know what they want and they're no longer content
7:19
Speaker 2: to be controlled by Labor. They want their own party
7:22
Speaker 2: which serves their own narrow interests. And it seems that
7:26
Speaker 2: means the party that is willing to go furthest on
7:29
Speaker 2: being pro Gaza, pro Palestine, as it was in this
7:32
Speaker 2: case one week ago. That's the party that wins. So
7:35
Speaker 2: when President Trump is looking at from the situation from
7:38
Speaker 2: the outside, and he's going, well, Britain's our greatest ally.
7:41
Speaker 2: We love Britain. I personally love Britain. Britain's always been
7:44
Speaker 2: on our side. Why is Britain suddenly now not interested
7:48
Speaker 2: in joining preemptive strikes in the Middle East? What conclusion
7:54
Speaker 2: can he draw that he's afraid of his own voters.
7:58
Speaker 1: Wow, you're providing a nice cautionary tell for we here
8:01
Speaker 1: in the United States of America who are facing a
8:03
Speaker 1: similar being overrun by immigrants from foreign lands which you
8:07
Speaker 1: do not share American values clearly, right?
8:10
Speaker 2: May May I say something at this stage? I say
8:12
Speaker 2: thing at the station I've been doing this job. How
8:14
Speaker 2: long have I been here? Thirteen fourteen years? And this
8:16
Speaker 2: is this something I always say when I have this
8:18
Speaker 2: opportunity to speak from my rural idol in the countryside
8:24
Speaker 2: in England. Because of course I've had to retreat here
8:26
Speaker 2: because I cannot stand to live in London because it's
8:28
Speaker 2: as prisident. Trump says, it's a very different town. And
8:31
Speaker 2: this is the point I always make right, the great
8:33
Speaker 2: benefit I bring to you, my American friends and cousins.
8:37
Speaker 2: I am your crystal ball. What is happening here today
8:40
Speaker 2: is what's coming for you in six months, six years, whatever. Okay,
8:45
Speaker 2: this is the future. Pay attention.
8:46
Speaker 1: It's already land in Minnesota. We're struggling with the Somali
8:50
Speaker 1: community and the in various other ethnic or ethnic my
8:55
Speaker 1: recent ethic mirgints who have congregated in the individual cities
8:59
Speaker 1: and then elected politicians like Ileanomar who share their thoughts
9:02
Speaker 1: and philosophies. But we can, and we currently are in
9:05
Speaker 1: taking steps to stop the flow and hopefully keep our
9:09
Speaker 1: own personal identity and real quick here we're struggling here
9:12
Speaker 1: in the United States. We have a constitution that requires
9:15
Speaker 1: Congress to declare war. But we also have a president
9:18
Speaker 1: who is recharged in charge of and is the head
9:21
Speaker 1: of the American military, and he directs military affairs, but
9:23
Speaker 1: he also our commander in chief rather but he also
9:26
Speaker 1: is responsible for foreign policy, and these things all overlap.
9:29
Speaker 1: Now in so far as ker Starmer, what is his authority?
9:33
Speaker 1: Can Parliament chime in on this and say no, no, no,
9:35
Speaker 1: you got to play with the Americans more nice. So
9:37
Speaker 1: we need to open up these air bases to allow
9:39
Speaker 1: them for offensive and defensive strikes. Is there some opportunity
9:43
Speaker 1: here for the United Kingdom to change directions in terms
9:46
Speaker 1: of care Starmer's current stance on.
9:48
Speaker 2: This great question. So obviously we don't have a written
9:51
Speaker 2: constitution in the UK like you guys have in the US,
9:54
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of not case law as such,
9:56
Speaker 2: But as center as a president built up here, I
10:00
Speaker 2: believe the right to go to war is royal prerogative
10:03
Speaker 2: and the King is advised by the Prime Minister. So
10:06
Speaker 2: the King in Parliament is embodied there by the Prime Minister.
10:09
Speaker 2: So if the Prime Minister wants to get to a war,
10:11
Speaker 2: as far as we were, there's anything really that can
10:12
Speaker 2: stop him, apart from unless Parliament gets so upset about
10:16
Speaker 2: this that they have a vote no confidence in the
10:19
Speaker 2: Prime minister bring down the government and that's that. So
10:21
Speaker 2: what this means is in practice, if we know action
10:27
Speaker 2: like this is coming, And a good example of this
10:30
Speaker 2: is all this talk we're having at the moment about
10:32
Speaker 2: a potential like Western Alliance of peacekeepers going to Ukraine.
10:36
Speaker 2: So that's something we know that's on the horizon, and
10:39
Speaker 2: as a way to keep Parliament on side, the Prime
10:41
Speaker 2: Minister has already said if we do this, we'll give
10:43
Speaker 2: you a parliament a vote on it first. But in
10:48
Speaker 2: terms of the more immediate which is this business of
10:53
Speaker 2: will Starmer won't he get involved with what's going on
10:55
Speaker 2: in Iran? Actually this has nothing to do with parliament.
10:59
Speaker 2: What this comes down to is this Sacre starmar Our
11:02
Speaker 2: prime Minister is actually relatively new in politics. He's only
11:05
Speaker 2: been in Parliament for like ten years or something. And
11:08
Speaker 2: to have gone from being a newbie backbencher to being
11:11
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister of the UK so quickly, very unusual,
11:13
Speaker 2: very impressive. And the reason for this is he's not
11:16
Speaker 2: a career politician. He is a human rights lawyer, very
11:20
Speaker 2: senior lawyer. Was actually the Director of Public Prosecutions, the
11:24
Speaker 2: most senior prosecutor in the whole of the UK, and
11:27
Speaker 2: that was his last job before he came into politics.
11:29
Speaker 2: So he got sort of imported into the Labor Party
11:32
Speaker 2: from this very important legal job. And as I say,
11:36
Speaker 2: human rights lawyer, this guy is the world's number one
11:40
Speaker 2: fan of international law. Is that he is the rules
11:44
Speaker 2: based international orders like number one reply Guy, Okay, So
11:48
Speaker 2: he absolutely is is dedicated to these concepts. And when
11:53
Speaker 2: it comes to President Trump coming to the UK and saying, Okay,
11:58
Speaker 2: we're going to launch these strikes, we need to use
12:00
Speaker 2: British bases, I presume we have your permission because we
12:03
Speaker 2: always have in the past. So Kis Starmer's not looking
12:05
Speaker 2: at this from a position of what is the British
12:07
Speaker 2: national interest? What's best for the world? You know, how
12:10
Speaker 2: can I help an ally? Why do I really have
12:14
Speaker 2: any good reason to say no? He's looking at it
12:16
Speaker 2: from I've got my stack of United Nations law textbooks here,
12:21
Speaker 2: and they say no, and ergo I must say no
12:24
Speaker 2: because law is the most important thing in the world
12:26
Speaker 2: to me. We are being ruled by a cabal of
12:29
Speaker 2: lawyers and it is incredibly bad for this country. It
12:32
Speaker 2: is damaging us on the world stage, and it is
12:34
Speaker 2: destroying the special relationship.
12:35
Speaker 1: So London Beuer Chief Oliver Lane, your comment earlier that
12:38
Speaker 1: kir Starmer believes that our actions against Iran are unlawful.
12:42
Speaker 1: You're referring to his perception of international law. Might they
12:45
Speaker 1: pivot over and ask what cure Starmer's position is visa
12:48
Speaker 1: the Iran's atrocities over the years, murdering its own people,
12:52
Speaker 1: and whether or not that too might buy a via
12:54
Speaker 1: violation of international law, funding terrorist organizations who indiscriminately kill
12:58
Speaker 1: people who enter Israel awfully and murder women, children, grandmothers,
13:02
Speaker 1: burn babies. I mean, we could go on for hours
13:04
Speaker 1: and hours. The articulated a position on any of those
13:06
Speaker 1: things via international law exactly. So this is the contradictions
13:12
Speaker 1: continue to roll on because we have the reports from
13:16
Speaker 1: Britain's Foreign Intelligence Agency six, Internal Intelligence Agency m I five.
13:22
Speaker 1: They are very clear that Iran is a threat. In fact,
13:24
Speaker 1: in Parliament yesterday, when Sir Keir Starmer was trying to
13:28
Speaker 1: build this case to explain to the British people why
13:31
Speaker 1: he wasn't being involved, he admitted that Iran had launched
13:36
Speaker 1: twenty attempted terror attacks against people in Britain over the
13:40
Speaker 1: past year alone, and every single one of those attacks
13:43
Speaker 1: was intercepted and foiled by the intelligence agencies. Because, let's
13:47
Speaker 1: be honest, one of the best things that Britain, one
13:49
Speaker 1: of the best things in the world that Britain's do
13:51
Speaker 1: is we're very good at being.
13:52
Speaker 2: Spies with the nation of James Bond. So we're very
13:55
Speaker 2: good at intercepting those terror attacks. That doesn't change the
13:57
Speaker 2: fact they wanted to do them. They wanted to kill
13:59
Speaker 2: those people. So he admitted that Britain is under attack
14:03
Speaker 2: from Iran, and our intelligence agents have admitted that Iran
14:07
Speaker 2: is the number one sponsor of state terrorism in the world.
14:10
Speaker 2: We are being attacked, our allies are being attacked. The
14:13
Speaker 2: government admits this. And yet for sick Kstarma, no war
14:17
Speaker 2: because the United Nations hasn't said it's okay. And to
14:20
Speaker 2: him that's the most important thing.
14:22
Speaker 1: Wow. And considering the body of the makeup of the
14:25
Speaker 1: United Nations, I mean, how they have the countries along
14:29
Speaker 1: the lines of Iran on the Human Rights Council, for
14:31
Speaker 1: God's sake, it's a laughable entity and organization. It becomes
14:36
Speaker 1: more and more pointless every year. And what more can
14:39
Speaker 1: I say. I'm just I'm thankful we have a constitution
14:42
Speaker 1: because you and your bunk are out there in the world,
14:45
Speaker 1: somewhere in the United Kingdom. Oliver Lane, you can speak
14:48
Speaker 1: your mind here on the fifty five KRC Morning Show,
14:50
Speaker 1: and I based upon everything I've read, you might be
14:52
Speaker 1: subject to arrest in your country for these words.
14:56
Speaker 2: I pick my words very carefully and as we as
14:59
Speaker 2: we all must in this country, which is a remarkable
15:02
Speaker 2: situation to be in because we live in a time
15:05
Speaker 2: where the police conduct dorn arrests, don arrest braids, for
15:09
Speaker 2: speech crimes, for throwaway tweets, you know, these little pops
15:15
Speaker 2: here and there of thought which will get you into
15:18
Speaker 2: the inside of a prison cell. So you know, we
15:21
Speaker 2: have to be careful, we have to be sensible because
15:23
Speaker 2: if I'm on the inside of a prison cell, well
15:25
Speaker 2: I can't keep updating what's happening in the world.
15:27
Speaker 1: And you wouldn't be on the fifty five Kresy Morning Show,
15:29
Speaker 1: which my listening audience I truly appreciate. We also appreciate
15:33
Speaker 1: what everything that bright Bart's doing each and every day.
15:35
Speaker 1: Oliver Lane, London Bureau Chief, it is always a pleasure
15:38
Speaker 1: to have you on the program. I look forward to
15:39
Speaker 1: our discussions down the road again. And have a wonderful week,
15:42
Speaker 1: my friend. Thanks for your time this morning.
15:44
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a busy week, but it's going to
15:46
Speaker 2: be a good one. Thanks for having me on.
15:47
Speaker 1: I hope you are right on the good part. Busy,
15:49
Speaker 1: definitely
