- 0:08Speaker 1: Good afternoon. Today is Monday, the twenty eighth of October
- 0:12Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, just after one o'clock. Welcome to UK
- 0:15Speaker 1: column News. I'm your host, Brian Gerrish. Delighted to be
- 0:19Speaker 1: joined today by Diane rasmuson mcaddie from speaking to us
- 0:24Speaker 1: from Edinburgh and Ben Rubin talking to us from London,
- 0:29Speaker 1: and they'll be joining of course as usual by video link. Well,
- 0:34Speaker 1: we're going to kick off, I think on the subject
- 0:36Speaker 1: to the decline of Western civilization. Many people in UK
- 0:40Speaker 1: today know that something is wrong in this country. They
- 0:44Speaker 1: talk about it. They say there's something just not right.
- 0:47Speaker 1: They talk about the breakdown of our services, strategic infrastructure.
- 0:52Speaker 1: This is not accidental and I hope in today's news
- 0:56Speaker 1: we're going to give some answers as to what is
- 0:59Speaker 1: attacking our society. Well, what better place to start than
- 1:03Speaker 1: the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Samoa. We'll put
- 1:07Speaker 1: up a picture of our illustrious Prime Minister who was
- 1:10Speaker 1: asked several questions and of course he came out with
- 1:14Speaker 1: the incredible statement that Israel can continue to do what
- 1:18Speaker 1: it likes in the Middle East. Many people believe that
- 1:21Speaker 1: is genocide, but Iran must hold back and critically he
- 1:27Speaker 1: made no mention of the Greater Israel project. Now Diane
- 1:31Speaker 1: is going to be talking more about this meeting a
- 1:34Speaker 1: little bit later in the news, but I wanted to
- 1:37Speaker 1: focus straight away on an exceptionally good interview. Thank you
- 1:41Speaker 1: to redacted for this. But the main man is, of course,
- 1:46Speaker 1: Colonel Douglas McGregor, and he wasn't being shy in telling
- 1:50Speaker 1: the world what's really going on in the Middle East.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Let's have a listen.
- 1:56Speaker 2: So when I say, you know, we're on the precipice
- 1:58Speaker 2: of World War three, I mean are we being hyperbolic
- 2:00Speaker 2: here or is are we already there? And what do
- 2:05Speaker 2: you think that this means ahead of the election?
- 2:08Speaker 3: Well, we're not there, but I don't think you're being hyperbolic.
- 2:12Speaker 3: We have to consider the following points. If you look
- 2:14Speaker 3: at the current state of affairs on the ground in
- 2:16Speaker 3: the Middle East, the Israelis are following the Greater Israel Plan,
- 2:21Speaker 3: which has been on the show for many, many years.
- 2:23Speaker 3: This Greater Israel Plan incorporates at least half of Lebanon,
- 2:27Speaker 3: part of Syria, part of Jordan, and of course is
- 2:31Speaker 3: denuded completely of Palestinian Arabs. So that's underway, and I think,
- 2:39Speaker 3: though it has not been formally announced, that both London
- 2:43Speaker 3: and Washington understand this and are supporting it. Now, what
- 2:48Speaker 3: does this mean. This means that at this point in time,
- 2:50Speaker 3: the Israelis have done about as much as they can
- 2:53Speaker 3: do in Lebanon and Gossen. Now they can continue to
- 2:56Speaker 3: bomb and destroy infrastructure, and people are upset over hospitals
- 3:01Speaker 3: and schools and other things being destroyed. This is part
- 3:03Speaker 3: of the plan. It's to destroy all of the infrastructure,
- 3:07Speaker 3: making it impossible for anybody to live there, forcing the
- 3:11Speaker 3: millions that live in these places to leave, to go
- 3:14Speaker 3: somewhere else or die one way or the other. And
- 3:17Speaker 3: this is what we in London are strongly supporting. However,
- 3:22Speaker 3: the Israelis are not winning per se on the battlefield.
- 3:25Speaker 3: In other words, they're taking losses in southern Lebanon that
- 3:30Speaker 3: are quite heavy. They continue to take losses down in Gaza.
- 3:33Speaker 3: Whenever they go in on the ground. They realize that
- 3:37Speaker 3: they cannot continue on this path without some sort of
- 3:40Speaker 3: dramatic victory elsewhere. And the elsewhere, frankly, is Iran. They've
- 3:45Speaker 3: got to attack Iran. Not in Noahoo knows that he
- 3:49Speaker 3: has no choice The question is one of timing.
- 3:54Speaker 1: So it takes a retired American military colonel to tell
- 3:58Speaker 1: the world the truth about what's happening. We can't get
- 4:01Speaker 1: the truth out of the Biden government or out of
- 4:04Speaker 1: Kiir Stamer's government here in UK. Meanwhile, the bloodshed goes on.
- 4:09Speaker 1: But where are we being taken. Let's listen to a
- 4:12Speaker 1: little bit more of this interview, and.
- 4:15Speaker 3: This is what people need to understand. It is in
- 4:18Speaker 3: his interest, Netanyahu's and Israel's interests to start this war
- 4:22Speaker 3: with Iran before the election. Now they currently have done
- 4:27Speaker 3: everything in their power. That is, mister Nettan Yahoo and
- 4:29Speaker 3: his agents in the United States pouring vast sums of
- 4:33Speaker 3: money into the Trump campaign to ensure that Trump is elected.
- 4:36Speaker 3: Because Trump has made it abundantly clear that he will
- 4:39Speaker 3: support unconditionally whatever the Israelis want to do, that he
- 4:43Speaker 3: backs them. But they can't be entirely sure that once
- 4:47Speaker 3: he's elected he will follow through completely as they would like.
- 4:51Speaker 3: At the same time, they have no guarantee and no
- 4:53Speaker 3: certainty whatsoever that Kamala Harris will do anything that they
- 4:58Speaker 3: want her to do. Yeah, it's got it's got to happen.
- 5:00Speaker 3: This weekend or next weekend, sometime before the election. Get
- 5:04Speaker 3: it underway. Then whoever ultimately wins. Even though they're banking
- 5:08Speaker 3: heavily on President Trump, they know that they've inherited a
- 5:13Speaker 3: war that they just can't walk away from. Now, how
- 5:16Speaker 3: does the war from their standpoint really get off the ground.
- 5:20Speaker 3: They've got to launch crippling strikes against Iran. They're going
- 5:23Speaker 3: to do as much damage as they can. Whether or
- 5:25Speaker 3: not they'll attack the nuclear facility is open to question.
- 5:29Speaker 3: The probability of their attacking the oil facility, I think
- 5:33Speaker 3: is very high. Again, that's another lucrative target. There are
- 5:37Speaker 3: many other things to hit, but those are the two
- 5:39Speaker 3: most significant from the Israeli standpoint.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Well, there we are pretty black and white and not assense, Diane.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Let's bring you in what's happening on the ground in
- 5:50Speaker 1: the US elections at the moment.
- 5:53Speaker 4: Oh, hello Brian, thanks for having me today. And hello Ben. Yeah.
- 5:56Speaker 4: So the most important thing apparently, and that happened in
- 6:00Speaker 4: twenty twenty four so far, according to some people on Twitter,
- 6:03Speaker 4: slash x was Trump on Joe Rogan over the weekend.
- 6:07Speaker 4: He's had, as of this morning, thirty three million views
- 6:09Speaker 4: on YouTube, A three hour interview discussion between Joe Rogan
- 6:14Speaker 4: and Trump. I want to play just a short clip
- 6:16Speaker 4: from this three hour video because it relates to what
- 6:20Speaker 4: I reported last week about Trump working at mc donald's.
- 6:22Speaker 4: Let's see what Trump had to say, and let's see
- 6:24Speaker 4: what's really important.
- 6:27Speaker 5: And I actually got a call from your friends at Google,
- 6:29Speaker 5: from Sundar. That's pretty good, right. He said, this is
- 6:32Speaker 5: the biggest thing we've had in years.
- 6:35Speaker 6: They had McDonald's at McDonald's.
- 6:37Speaker 7: Did you know that?
- 6:38Speaker 5: It was one of the It was funny, who's a
- 6:40Speaker 5: great guy, by the way, but he said, this McDonald's thing.
- 6:43Speaker 5: I want to tell you, it's one of the biggest
- 6:45Speaker 5: things we've ever had on Google. It just hit But
- 6:49Speaker 5: the reason I did, and I actually, you know, you
- 6:50Speaker 5: never know about this stuff. I thought it was a throwaway.
- 6:53Speaker 5: I didn't think our conversation is a throw away, but
- 6:55Speaker 5: I thought that was. I thought i'd walk in and
- 6:57Speaker 5: that was only to highlight the fact. And I have
- 7:00Speaker 5: a friend he owns like fifty six of these McDonald's
- 7:02Speaker 5: and he said, you want to use one? They said, yeah,
- 7:04Speaker 5: I love it. So we went there and the crowd
- 7:07Speaker 5: was crazy. You know, they had twenty eight thousand people
- 7:09Speaker 5: sit around that.
- 7:09Speaker 6: The whole thing.
- 7:10Speaker 5: Did you see the outside? It was crazy. The cars
- 7:13Speaker 5: couldn't get The Secret Service was not exactly thrilled.
- 7:15Speaker 8: We had no idea what the hell.
- 7:17Speaker 5: But I went into the place and I did the
- 7:20Speaker 5: French for I thing and it just hit. But that's
- 7:23Speaker 5: like in life sometimes you do. I thought it was
- 7:25Speaker 5: like a quick throw where we're going to be there
- 7:27Speaker 5: for fifteen minutes. And I said, I've worked here for
- 7:30Speaker 5: fifteen minutes, which is fifteen minutes more than she worked here.
- 7:34Speaker 5: She lied about McDonald's, and.
- 7:36Speaker 9: You know that's proven that she never herself.
- 7:40Speaker 5: Well, McDonald's has no information, she has no information, there's nobody.
- 7:45Speaker 5: The manager said she never worked there. You know it
- 7:47Speaker 5: was a certain place, and he said, they never know.
- 7:49Speaker 5: She lied. She's a liar. You know what they do.
- 7:52Speaker 5: They'll say like or any one of the questions, take
- 7:55Speaker 5: any they'll say, it's the exact opposite of what I say.
- 8:03Speaker 4: So we have the breakdown of Western civilization going on.
- 8:06Speaker 4: We have terrible conflicts in the Middle East, and Trump
- 8:08Speaker 4: is really worried about who saw him delivering French fries
- 8:11Speaker 4: to the drivers at McDonald's. But let's look at Google trends,
- 8:14Speaker 4: and anyone can look at Google trends if you want
- 8:16Speaker 4: to see what people are talking about, what they're searching,
- 8:18Speaker 4: what they're looking at, and worldwide. From the past several days,
- 8:22Speaker 4: we see that Kamala Harris is actually ahead of Trump
- 8:25Speaker 4: in terms of Google searches and interactions with Kamala Harris.
- 8:28Speaker 4: So I'm not sure that his claim about Google blowing
- 8:30Speaker 4: up when he was at McDonald's is really entirely true
- 8:33Speaker 4: after all, if we look at actual data. So if
- 8:35Speaker 4: you look at some of the media that's been that's
- 8:38Speaker 4: covering the podcast over the weekend, they talked about Trump
- 8:41Speaker 4: talking about space people. So again with my coverage on
- 8:44Speaker 4: space continuing, Trump saying, there's no reason to think that
- 8:48Speaker 4: Mar's and all these planets don't have life. Maybe it's life,
- 8:50Speaker 4: we don't know. They are solid, beautiful people. They said,
- 8:54Speaker 4: this is something, sir, this is something. They're not conspiracy guys.
- 8:57Speaker 4: So we don't really know what that means, but it's intriguing.
- 9:01Speaker 4: So also other weekend we had Kamala Harris. You know,
- 9:04Speaker 4: since we have the election coming up in just a
- 9:06Speaker 4: few days next Tuesday, November fifth, Luckily it'll be over soon.
- 9:10Speaker 4: And what we have here is we see the celebrity
- 9:12Speaker 4: status coming in. So we had Kamala Harris's events in Houston.
- 9:17Speaker 4: She had Beyonce's mother introducing Beyonce, and there's the three
- 9:21Speaker 4: of them hugging on stage. And the big focus on
- 9:23Speaker 4: this particular rally in Houston was reproductive freedom. And we'll
- 9:27Speaker 4: see what Kamala Harris had to say and what happened
- 9:29Speaker 4: in response.
- 9:32Speaker 8: It is an honor to be here with so many
- 9:35Speaker 8: leaders and all of you who have taken the time
- 9:39Speaker 8: out of your busy life to be here this evening
- 9:43Speaker 8: so we can as a community of people, as people
- 9:47Speaker 8: who love our country, be clear, sound strong, and stand
- 9:52Speaker 8: in favor of the freedom of every woman to make
- 9:55Speaker 8: decisions about.
- 9:56Speaker 10: Our own body.
- 10:06Speaker 8: I also want to thank the members of Congress who
- 10:09Speaker 8: are here, including Colin Allred.
- 10:15Speaker 6: I'm counting on.
- 10:16Speaker 8: You to send him to the United States Senate so
- 10:18Speaker 8: we can get right to work. And to all the
- 10:25Speaker 8: elected officials and community leaders, I thank you all.
- 10:28Speaker 6: I thank you, See you later, see you later.
- 10:47Speaker 10: That's okay, we're not going.
- 11:13Speaker 4: So who saw there Kamla's famous fake smile. She's smiling
- 11:17Speaker 4: while somebody was getting thrown out of her rally. The
- 11:20Speaker 4: mainstream media was covering this that basically what it said
- 11:23Speaker 4: was that she was interrupted four times during her ten
- 11:25Speaker 4: during ten minutes, and then she went on to say
- 11:28Speaker 4: the beauty of the campaign is that we're fighting for democracy.
- 11:31Speaker 4: And of course as well, Trump had people kicked out
- 11:33Speaker 4: of his rallies in twenty sixteen when there were people
- 11:35Speaker 4: that didn't agree with him. It doesn't seem very democratic
- 11:37Speaker 4: to me. Donald Trump had a massive rally, according to
- 11:41Speaker 4: certain reports, at Madison Square Garden in New York yesterday,
- 11:45Speaker 4: so this was definitely a star studded again event. I
- 11:49Speaker 4: have a full list of the speakers that will be
- 11:51Speaker 4: available in the show notes, but they included Elon Musk,
- 11:54Speaker 4: who was there, Hull Cogan. You've got to have Hull
- 11:56Speaker 4: Cogan and a political rally. And it was interesting because
- 11:59Speaker 4: this one started with prayer and we see Elon Musk
- 12:02Speaker 4: in the next side. We see him there with his
- 12:05Speaker 4: Maga hat on. So of course people are really angry
- 12:07Speaker 4: about Elon Musk taking a political stance for various reasons.
- 12:11Speaker 4: I wouldn't say that one of my favorite parts of
- 12:14Speaker 4: the entire thing was Doctor Phil So if you know
- 12:16Speaker 4: doctor Phil from back from Oprah Times. Let's see what
- 12:20Speaker 4: doctor Phil had to say.
- 12:31Speaker 11: He's just better at it. And the same thing is
- 12:34Speaker 11: true when the Democrats or Harris call him fascist, hitler, racist, misogynist.
- 12:39Speaker 11: Der Kruk is that bullying will not really it's udly.
- 12:43Speaker 11: But with the First Amendment, which we all want to keep,
- 12:47Speaker 11: there's no imbalance of power, so it's not bullying. It's
- 12:51Speaker 11: just like what he does. It may not be the
- 12:53Speaker 11: best use of energy. But when you attack civilians, when
- 12:58Speaker 11: you attack a citizen and you use the power of
- 13:03Speaker 11: the internet at you, you'd mob mentality, you incite people
- 13:06Speaker 11: to gang up and cause boycotts. Then it's beyond ugly.
- 13:13Speaker 11: And that's what's happening in this country right now, and
- 13:16Speaker 11: that's not okay.
- 13:21Speaker 4: So what happens in response to all of this is
- 13:24Speaker 4: if you look at all over the mainstream media, different sources.
- 13:26Speaker 4: This is just one example from Sky News saying that
- 13:30Speaker 4: he was evoking Nazism because there was a Nazi rally
- 13:34Speaker 4: in Madisonsquare Garden in nineteen thirty nine, just months before
- 13:37Speaker 4: the outbreak of the Second World Wars. This goes along
- 13:40Speaker 4: with the social media narrative that is quote unquote Trump
- 13:43Speaker 4: is literally hitler. I think that that doesn't really make
- 13:46Speaker 4: any sense for a lot of reasons. What happened to
- 13:49Speaker 4: another one of Kamala Harrison's rallies over the weekend in Michigan,
- 13:52Speaker 4: my home state.
- 13:56Speaker 8: We are fighting for America's future, and I understand the
- 14:01Speaker 8: opportunity we have before us to turn the page on
- 14:08Speaker 8: the fear.
- 14:29Speaker 4: So obviously that was someone wanting to end the word
- 14:31Speaker 4: in Gaza. And one of the chants that we heard
- 14:33Speaker 4: in the earlier Kamala Hair's quilp clip as well is
- 14:36Speaker 4: we're not going back, which doesn't make any sense to
- 14:38Speaker 4: me because she's been in there for almost four years now.
- 14:40Speaker 4: But so what are we not going back to? I
- 14:42Speaker 4: don't quite understand. I thought, just for the sake of interest,
- 14:45Speaker 4: especially for UK viewers, I would show an example of
- 14:48Speaker 4: what my US election ballot, obviously a blank ballot at
- 14:52Speaker 4: this point that I wasn't going to show you the
- 14:53Speaker 4: completed one, and along with some directions just that you
- 14:57Speaker 4: understand quickly different and if you want to see this
- 14:59Speaker 4: and more, I've included a link to a sample ballot
- 15:02Speaker 4: from my state of Missouri, which was the last date
- 15:04Speaker 4: I lived in, which is where I now vote if
- 15:06Speaker 4: you want to see a general ballot. So we see
- 15:09Speaker 4: the directions here, which are interesting because it says that
- 15:12Speaker 4: it is due by the eighth of November twenty twenty four.
- 15:15Speaker 4: Election date is November the fifth, so it is my
- 15:17Speaker 4: vote really going to count? We see typos like and
- 15:20Speaker 4: why are you apostrophe are ecompleted, So all of the
- 15:24Speaker 4: typos and weird lettering and formatting and just another example
- 15:28Speaker 4: of the breakdown of Western society in my opinion. And
- 15:31Speaker 4: we'll just some screenshots here again. You can see these
- 15:33Speaker 4: more detail on the show notes. So we see the
- 15:35Speaker 4: number of things you can vote for. You vote for
- 15:37Speaker 4: president and vice president, state treasurer, Attorney general, different court
- 15:42Speaker 4: positions including the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, circuit courts.
- 15:46Speaker 4: On the next slide, we have more screenshots of more
- 15:49Speaker 4: offices that we can vote for, Senator, governor of the state,
- 15:52Speaker 4: lieutenant governor, US representatives, state senators, representatives, more courts of appeals,
- 15:57Speaker 4: and so on. And we also have a mens to
- 16:00Speaker 4: state and city laws, which are particularly interesting and sometimes
- 16:04Speaker 4: a bit confusing because they get left out. We have
- 16:07Speaker 4: constitutional amendments all the way from regulating licensed sports to
- 16:11Speaker 4: an additional gambling vote license located under river somewhere in
- 16:14Speaker 4: the state, all the way to the much bigger issue
- 16:17Speaker 4: of being a pro choice of pro contraception and what
- 16:22Speaker 4: that means for omitting the constitution. We have whether or
- 16:25Speaker 4: not people who are not citizens should be allowed to
- 16:27Speaker 4: vote to make all of the laws consistent, which is
- 16:30Speaker 4: interesting considering what's going on with immigration. And at the
- 16:33Speaker 4: city level we have things like do we change the
- 16:35Speaker 4: name of the Department of Streets to the Department of Transportation?
- 16:38Speaker 4: Do we change the budgets situation and the order in
- 16:42Speaker 4: which we do things. We have exceptions to fines for
- 16:45Speaker 4: vacant properties, so we see a range of issues. And finally,
- 16:49Speaker 4: I just want to point out that there is an
- 16:51Speaker 4: effort toward independent candidates, but it's very small. This is
- 16:54Speaker 4: what from a Missouri called the Better Party, and the
- 16:57Speaker 4: point is just to make people have more independents choose from.
- 17:01Speaker 4: And there are two on the ballot and Missouri, one
- 17:03Speaker 4: for US representative and one for US Senate. So, Brian,
- 17:06Speaker 4: I hope that they do well, but I'm not sure
- 17:07Speaker 4: that they will.
- 17:08Speaker 1: What do you think, Well, we wait to see. But
- 17:12Speaker 1: let's move on through the news, because we're going to
- 17:15Speaker 1: take a little more of a detailed look at what's
- 17:17Speaker 1: happening in America, and we're going to be using some
- 17:20Speaker 1: CIA men to tell us what's really going on. Before
- 17:23Speaker 1: we get there, let's just remind ourselves that here in
- 17:26Speaker 1: UK the propaganda machine the BBC. This is what I
- 17:30Speaker 1: was faced with when it asked me to sign in
- 17:33Speaker 1: quick and easy with the BBC. What does this picture mean? Vacuous,
- 17:38Speaker 1: childish demeaning. This is the BBC. But of course what
- 17:42Speaker 1: they're doing on the side is manipulating the news. And
- 17:46Speaker 1: this was a credible story or non story where the
- 17:50Speaker 1: BBC is more concerned about their journalist Steve Rosenberg than
- 17:56Speaker 1: what Putin actually said. So there is no story apart
- 17:59Speaker 1: from the BBC's own journalists. Now, if we really want
- 18:03Speaker 1: to understand what's happening in America, I've done had two
- 18:07Speaker 1: really informative emails with former CIA men over the last
- 18:11Speaker 1: few months. Let's just listen to a little clip by J.
- 18:15Speaker 1: Michael Waller, author of Big Intel. People are being broken
- 18:20Speaker 1: down and therefore they're reacting or is this just normal?
- 18:25Speaker 1: And yes, the agency is doing something effective by analyzing
- 18:30Speaker 1: the behavior of the public to pre worn of a crime.
- 18:34Speaker 9: If you ever met a lot of these social sciences
- 18:37Speaker 9: and scientists and spent any time with them, you'll see
- 18:39Speaker 9: that a lot of them fit the same profiles that
- 18:42Speaker 9: they're applying to others. They're depressed, they have grievances, they
- 18:46Speaker 9: have terrible family troubles, they feel alienated to they're angry.
- 18:51Speaker 9: So they're the ones who are diagnosing the rest of
- 18:57Speaker 9: the public. And then with the increased rise and as
- 18:59Speaker 9: you're pointing out the decay of society and the rise
- 19:02Speaker 9: and mental illness, and the grievances that even normal people
- 19:06Speaker 9: will have, and the injustices they see in their own government,
- 19:09Speaker 9: with say a two tiered system of justice, where people
- 19:13Speaker 9: standing up for their national traditions are being discriminated against
- 19:17Speaker 9: and even arrested, while newcomers coming in to destroy those
- 19:21Speaker 9: institutions get favorable treatment. Of course, that's going to produce
- 19:24Speaker 9: more anger, But it's not the new troublemakers that are
- 19:28Speaker 9: going to be blamed and held accountable for it. It's
- 19:31Speaker 9: the people who are trying to defend what's always been there,
- 19:34Speaker 9: defend their national traditions, who are seen as the evildoers
- 19:40Speaker 9: what you have though, when these social scientists come together
- 19:43Speaker 9: and make reports the way you just summarize to the
- 19:45Speaker 9: secret services that they're painting a huge segment of the
- 19:49Speaker 9: society as prospective enemies. And therefore that logic demands more
- 19:56Speaker 9: and more and more resources to a national s security
- 20:00Speaker 9: state and a surveillance state to watch everyone before they
- 20:03Speaker 9: commit a crime. And this is where you get George
- 20:07Speaker 9: Orwell walking right in and now all of a sudden
- 20:10Speaker 9: we become Oshannia.
- 20:14Speaker 1: So quite chilling words there that basically the people are
- 20:19Speaker 1: the enemy of the state, and the state is going
- 20:21Speaker 1: to build greater and greater apparatus to deal with us.
- 20:24Speaker 1: He's talking about America, but we were talking about the
- 20:27Speaker 1: similarities between the system in America and UK. Let's listen
- 20:32Speaker 1: to a second former CIA man, Joseph B. Sweeney, on
- 20:37Speaker 1: the subject of the Department of Justice and how it
- 20:40Speaker 1: treated Biden and how it treated Trump. I'm delighted to
- 20:46Speaker 1: be joined today by Joseph B. Sweeney, who's the author
- 20:50Speaker 1: of Dangerous Injustice. How Democrats weaponize the Department of Justice
- 20:56Speaker 1: to protect Biden and secute Trump.
- 21:02Speaker 12: And you know, my book focuses on the weaponization of
- 21:07Speaker 12: doj and the FBI against conservatives and specifically Trump. But
- 21:14Speaker 12: it's more than that, because really what the Democratic Party
- 21:19Speaker 12: in the United States has done is they've weaponized the
- 21:23Speaker 12: entire executive branch against their political opponents. And part of
- 21:30Speaker 12: the executive branch is the National Archives. And so I
- 21:35Speaker 12: do detailed analysis of how the National Archives treated Biden's
- 21:40Speaker 12: case and Trump's case. And in Biden's case, I had
- 21:45Speaker 12: to wade through hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of pages
- 21:49Speaker 12: of releases to the public under the Freedom of Information Act.
- 21:53Speaker 12: You can find them. They're out there, and you've got
- 21:55Speaker 12: to pan through this large stream of information to get
- 21:59Speaker 12: to the nuggets. But I panned through it, and I've
- 22:02Speaker 12: done a lot of Freedom of Information Act work in
- 22:04Speaker 12: my time for the government, and so I know where
- 22:08Speaker 12: to look. In what I found amongst this sea of
- 22:13Speaker 12: emails that were released by the National Archives, we're the
- 22:16Speaker 12: ones where they were obviously talking about Biden's case, even
- 22:20Speaker 12: though they didn't come out and say it. And so
- 22:24Speaker 12: it was fascinating because they're in an email dialogue with
- 22:29Speaker 12: Biden's private attorneys and the archivist is purposefully not mentioning
- 22:36Speaker 12: any details. So it's obvious that they're having phone conversations
- 22:41Speaker 12: with details, but they're being very cautious not to include
- 22:46Speaker 12: details in their emails. But there was enough in there
- 22:49Speaker 12: that I could see what was going on because they
- 22:52Speaker 12: were handling this in their own line, in language they
- 22:55Speaker 12: use in emails, with the utmost discretion. This is when
- 22:58Speaker 12: Biden got caught with classified documents originally and his downtown
- 23:03Speaker 12: office in DC. Well, they were handling that with the
- 23:06Speaker 12: utmost discretion and helping the White House to keep it
- 23:10Speaker 12: a secret.
- 23:13Speaker 1: So Joseph B. Sweeney talking about the use of the
- 23:16Speaker 1: justice system in order to cripple one political person over
- 23:20Speaker 1: and above another, or to protect one and to prosecute another.
- 23:25Speaker 1: This is the breakdown of society in the US. The
- 23:28Speaker 1: same thing is happening here. Let's listen to a second
- 23:31Speaker 1: little clip of Joseph Sweeney talking.
- 23:36Speaker 12: You know, after the raid on mar Lago, I started digging,
- 23:40Speaker 12: and I kept digging, and I went all the way
- 23:43Speaker 12: back to twenty sixteen, which was Trump's first presidential campaign.
- 23:50Speaker 12: And during that presidential campaign, the FBI and DOJ had
- 23:54Speaker 12: already been weaponized against Trump. And what they were doing
- 23:57Speaker 12: back then was they were you using intelligence collection authorities
- 24:03Speaker 12: very powerful tools to target Trump's campaign. Now, these collection
- 24:09Speaker 12: mechanisms are secret because they're intelligence related, and I thought, well,
- 24:16Speaker 12: you know, it's interesting because back then, in twenty sixteen,
- 24:20Speaker 12: they at least had the decency to try and hide
- 24:23Speaker 12: their conduct by using intelligence collection methods which exist in
- 24:27Speaker 12: the shadows to target Trump. I mean, you fast forward
- 24:32Speaker 12: to the raid on mar Lago and the current indictments.
- 24:35Speaker 12: They're not trying to hide it anymore. THEOJ and the
- 24:39Speaker 12: FBI are openly acting as enforcement arms for the Democratic Party.
- 24:48Speaker 1: So this is immensely serious stuff. We've got political parties
- 24:53Speaker 1: using not only the justice system for their political aims,
- 24:57Speaker 1: but also using the intelligence services. And as I said,
- 25:00Speaker 1: with both these XCIA man, we were talking about America
- 25:05Speaker 1: and pointing out the similarities to what's happening in UK. Ben,
- 25:10Speaker 1: let's bring you in because one of the key issues
- 25:12Speaker 1: that we also spoke about in those interviews was the
- 25:15Speaker 1: woke attack not only on certain areas of society, but
- 25:20Speaker 1: on the security services themselves.
- 25:26Speaker 13: Absolutely, Brian Ian lovely to be here all the viewers
- 25:31Speaker 13: at home. We're going to talk about politicization of race
- 25:36Speaker 13: and the warring factions that are being created in this country,
- 25:41Speaker 13: specifically in the UK, based on racial identity, in order
- 25:45Speaker 13: to progress extremely divisive and destructive political ideas into the
- 25:50Speaker 13: mainstream of British society. Now, before I get into this,
- 25:53Speaker 13: it's important to point out that this is completely inorganic
- 25:57Speaker 13: and it has absolutely nothing to do with Black culture.
- 26:01Speaker 13: And we're going to talk about what they call black
- 26:02Speaker 13: people with reference to this organization, Black Equity Organization. And
- 26:08Speaker 13: as I say, this is a completely inorganic movement. It's
- 26:11Speaker 13: all nothing to do with black culture. This is an
- 26:13Speaker 13: agenda that's been pushed by the establishment and corporate money
- 26:18Speaker 13: in order to radically reshape British society and our Black
- 26:22Speaker 13: Equity Organization. As I said, we've spoken about it quite
- 26:25Speaker 13: a bit over the past few months. They're there to
- 26:27Speaker 13: fight what they call systemic racism and to deliver equity. Now,
- 26:33Speaker 13: it's importantly that we important to define what we mean
- 26:36Speaker 13: by equity. Right, I've read this out a few times before,
- 26:40Speaker 13: but I'm going to repeat it just to make sure
- 26:42Speaker 13: that we're absolutely clear what we're talking about. So equity
- 26:45Speaker 13: in equality, what's the difference. So equality means every person,
- 26:49Speaker 13: group of people, or segment of society gets the same opportunities,
- 26:52Speaker 13: resources and support. Great, that should be the way that
- 26:55Speaker 13: things run. But apparently we're in equity, which goes further.
- 26:58Speaker 13: People with different circles stances. Those who have been historically
- 27:01Speaker 13: marginalized and oppressed, for example, received varying levels of opportunities
- 27:05Speaker 13: and support, so they are able to reach an outcome
- 27:08Speaker 13: equal to others. It levels things up. Now, this can
- 27:11Speaker 13: only be delivered by a totalitarian state. There is no
- 27:16Speaker 13: other way for equity to be delivered in society. Let's
- 27:20Speaker 13: just get that out there right up front. Who's this
- 27:23Speaker 13: organization run by? So an assortment of dbes, OBEs cases,
- 27:30Speaker 13: all of whom are living proof that systemic racism isn't
- 27:33Speaker 13: actually an issue in our society. There's been no barrier
- 27:36Speaker 13: to progress for these individuals who are the trustees of
- 27:39Speaker 13: this organization. You've also got David Lammy in there, who's
- 27:42Speaker 13: currently serving as Foreign Secretary of the UK. He's one
- 27:47Speaker 13: of the most senior people in the British Labor Party. Again,
- 27:50Speaker 13: no barrier to progress for David Lammy. And two weeks
- 27:54Speaker 13: ago they launched this report Black Britain's Mandate Shape our Future,
- 28:01Speaker 13: and we're going to hear a quick introduction now from
- 28:04Speaker 13: the CEO of Black Equity Organization, Timmy Okua and the
- 28:08Speaker 13: Youth Trustee Athian akech.
- 28:13Speaker 14: Thank you for joining us and welcome to the launch
- 28:16Speaker 14: of Black Britain's mandate, the Voice of Black Britain holding
- 28:19Speaker 14: the Government to account. Hello. My name is timy Okua
- 28:22Speaker 14: and the CEO of the Black Equity Organization. BeO is
- 28:26Speaker 14: a national civil rights organization for black people in the UK.
- 28:30Speaker 14: We exist to dismantle systemic racism and promote economic, social,
- 28:36Speaker 14: legal and political equity for Black communities. Our mission is
- 28:40Speaker 14: rooted in empowering black talent, enterprise and greatness in Britain.
- 28:44Speaker 14: Through our work, we strive to ensure that Black people
- 28:47Speaker 14: can achieve self determination and prosperity in a society free
- 28:53Speaker 14: from racial discrimination.
- 28:55Speaker 3: Hi.
- 28:55Speaker 15: My name is Atianakege. I'm the Young Trustee for BO.
- 28:59Speaker 15: Thank you very much for joining us today. I'm a
- 29:02Speaker 15: twenty two year old activist and student from Camden in
- 29:05Speaker 15: northwest London. My role as the young Trustee is to
- 29:08Speaker 15: support Timmy and the wider organization in the great work
- 29:11Speaker 15: they're doing around racial equality and to provide the perspective
- 29:15Speaker 15: of young people from the ground and to articulate our
- 29:18Speaker 15: hopes and fears and to ensure that the vision of
- 29:20Speaker 15: this organization matches up with what's happening with young people
- 29:23Speaker 15: on the ground.
- 29:27Speaker 13: So Black Eggrity Organization is working to free ourselves from
- 29:31Speaker 13: racial discrimination by introducing racial discrimination into societies. I'll get
- 29:37Speaker 13: into now. There's a very important word here that was
- 29:40Speaker 13: used in the title of the report, and it's this
- 29:42Speaker 13: one mandate right now, what does that mean? An authoritative
- 29:47Speaker 13: command or instruction or a command or authorization given by
- 29:51Speaker 13: political electorate to the winner of an election. Now, there's
- 29:55Speaker 13: nothing in this report that has been subject today democratic
- 30:00Speaker 13: scrutiny at all. But they're claiming to have a mandate
- 30:03Speaker 13: to speak on behalf of the whole of Black Britain. Yes,
- 30:07Speaker 13: so there's nearly three million people that we're talking about,
- 30:10Speaker 13: and they believe that they have a mandate because they've
- 30:13Speaker 13: run a few interactions with just under two thousand people.
- 30:18Speaker 13: If you took those number up, it works out to
- 30:20Speaker 13: just under two thousand people across five cities in the UK,
- 30:24Speaker 13: which works out tonero point, not seven percent of the population.
- 30:30Speaker 13: So apparently this organization has a mandate to speak on
- 30:33Speaker 13: behalf of all black people based on talking tone point
- 30:37Speaker 13: ninety seven percent of the population in a highly staged,
- 30:40Speaker 13: managed process, right being run by very powerful and very
- 30:44Speaker 13: ideologically compromised, frankly groups of people. And actually, this is
- 30:49Speaker 13: a great example of why these democratic innovations like cities
- 30:52Speaker 13: and assemblies and sortition and that kind of thing are
- 30:54Speaker 13: so dangerous and frankly dishonest, because they're coming out and
- 30:58Speaker 13: making very bold statements and big demands based on talking
- 31:02Speaker 13: to an extraordinarily small number of people. Now, what are
- 31:06Speaker 13: the demands, And they are demands, by the way, they
- 31:08Speaker 13: actually say in the report, we have policy demands things
- 31:11Speaker 13: that we absolutely must do in response to the mandate
- 31:14Speaker 13: that has been handed down from this tiny group of people.
- 31:17Speaker 13: And there are thirty eight in the report. I won't
- 31:19Speaker 13: read them all out, but I'll give you a few
- 31:21Speaker 13: examples here, And so we can see here policy demands
- 31:25Speaker 13: for a comprehensive cross government race equality strategy, which will
- 31:29Speaker 13: include structural racism and anti racist pledge which would be
- 31:33Speaker 13: introduced for politicians prioritizing data in evidence on race, ethnicity,
- 31:37Speaker 13: and intersectional inequalities. So a lot of this is about
- 31:40Speaker 13: information gathering, and all of that again is predicated on
- 31:43Speaker 13: the existence of a state which can hover up this
- 31:45Speaker 13: information and hold it and use it to define policy agendas.
- 31:49Speaker 13: They want to introduce a minister to oversee race equality strategy.
- 31:53Speaker 13: They want to commit to racial justice or black community
- 31:56Speaker 13: strength and enforcement of equality legislation, introduce race equality responsive budgeting.
- 32:01Speaker 13: So a lot of this is about how money gets
- 32:02Speaker 13: deployed across the system. They want to strengthen the Equality Act,
- 32:06Speaker 13: they want to expand a new Race Equality Act, and
- 32:09Speaker 13: they also want to ratify Article fourteen of the UN
- 32:11Speaker 13: Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Race Discrimination,
- 32:14Speaker 13: which would make the UN the ultimate power that people
- 32:17Speaker 13: could appeal to in race discrimination cases. Right, So this
- 32:20Speaker 13: is actually short circuiting the role of the nation state
- 32:23Speaker 13: and governing its own citizens. Really remarkable stuff. A few
- 32:26Speaker 13: more examples here. So further policy demands towards racial equity
- 32:30Speaker 13: and racial justice in Britain. They want a Child Poverty
- 32:33Speaker 13: Task Force to look at racial inequalities and child poverty.
- 32:37Speaker 13: They want to remove the two child limit for benefits
- 32:40Speaker 13: in the first budget really importantly, so actually the state
- 32:43Speaker 13: needs to pay for larger families take a much greater
- 32:47Speaker 13: role in how families are supported, a comprehensive child poverty strategy,
- 32:53Speaker 13: reforms to social security, housing, universal credit. So a lot
- 32:57Speaker 13: of this, again is about wealth re distribution. They're all
- 33:00Speaker 13: political items, by the way, right, this is all about
- 33:04Speaker 13: projecting power ultimately, right, changing legislation in order to project power.
- 33:08Speaker 13: A few more examples again, there were thirty eight in
- 33:10Speaker 13: here and there they're I've just pulled out a few
- 33:15Speaker 13: mandating ethnicity and disability, paygap reporting, ensuring ensuring high quality jobs,
- 33:20Speaker 13: and subsidized skills training for black workers.
- 33:22Speaker 3: Right.
- 33:23Speaker 13: So again, putting them to the front of the queue
- 33:25Speaker 13: ahead of others, which is going to cause division, is
- 33:28Speaker 13: going to cause conflict. Ultimately, tackling low paying job insecurity,
- 33:32Speaker 13: to alleviate poverty in black communities, including a national strategy
- 33:36Speaker 13: to improve outcomes for black businesses.
- 33:38Speaker 10: Right.
- 33:38Speaker 13: And actually from the video that was a short clip
- 33:41Speaker 13: that I showed you a moment ago, one of the
- 33:43Speaker 13: this is from the extended version of that we can
- 33:45Speaker 13: see here that they actually want the government to intervene
- 33:47Speaker 13: in situations where entrepreneurial ventures, small businesses aren't making a profit. Right,
- 33:53Speaker 13: There's got absolutely nothing to do with the state as
- 33:55Speaker 13: a market issue. So the government intervening there is completely ridiculous.
- 33:59Speaker 5: Right.
- 34:00Speaker 13: Actually, it's not just the market they want to intervene in.
- 34:02Speaker 13: This goes right down into dealing with issues of domestic violence,
- 34:06Speaker 13: family issues, things that are ultimately social issues.
- 34:08Speaker 11: Right.
- 34:09Speaker 13: It's got nothing to do with governance, right, But they
- 34:11Speaker 13: want to introduce government into absolutely area, every area of society.
- 34:17Speaker 4: What else is this.
- 34:18Speaker 13: Link to, right, So this is part of a network
- 34:21Speaker 13: of these types of organizations pushing this agenda. Well, interestingly,
- 34:25Speaker 13: it's directly linked to My Life My Say we've spoken
- 34:28Speaker 13: about previously, this supposedly use led charity, which is actually
- 34:32Speaker 13: backed by Tony Blair, Chatham House, the Rothschild Family, a
- 34:37Speaker 13: bunch of other organizations. And we can see here Athey
- 34:40Speaker 13: and Atcheck the trustee that we just saw in the
- 34:43Speaker 13: video a moment ago speaking at the Next Generation conference
- 34:48Speaker 13: last year, so this was in November last year. They're
- 34:50Speaker 13: excited about My Life My Say conference coming up in
- 34:53Speaker 13: a few weeks. So you can see that he's very
- 34:56Speaker 13: much involved in what My Life my Say is doing.
- 34:58Speaker 13: My Life my Say direc linked into what I've already
- 35:02Speaker 13: mentioned a few organizations, but one of them is Tortoise Media,
- 35:04Speaker 13: Tortoise Media are up at the London Stock Exchange last
- 35:07Speaker 13: week talking about sustainable investment. Interestingly, we can see here
- 35:11Speaker 13: James Harding at at the boardroom table at the London
- 35:15Speaker 13: Stocky Chains he's the editor and founder of Tortoise Media,
- 35:17Speaker 13: and at the other end of the table we've got
- 35:19Speaker 13: Dan Laws, who's the co CEO of My Life. My say, so,
- 35:23Speaker 13: this is all essentially the same network. And we think
- 35:26Speaker 13: that Tortoise is a reference to Fabianism because the mascot
- 35:30Speaker 13: of the Fabian Society is a tortoise, it was up
- 35:34Speaker 13: until the nineteen sixties, and actually MLMs were at the
- 35:39Speaker 13: Fabian Society event at the Labor Conference just a few
- 35:42Speaker 13: weeks ago. So for me, this is slap bang in
- 35:44Speaker 13: the middle of this woke fascism agenda that we've spoken
- 35:47Speaker 13: about previously. This is the intersectional Marxism, the woke bit
- 35:51Speaker 13: and the fascist integration of marketing state, this unholy alliance
- 35:56Speaker 13: between money and power what I call, which is essentially
- 35:59Speaker 13: what I view is the definition of Fabianism. And we
- 36:02Speaker 13: talked about the intersectional Marxist piece. Where's the fascist bit, Well,
- 36:08Speaker 13: the corporations come in. When you look at who backs
- 36:10Speaker 13: black equity organization. So who have we got sky Open Society,
- 36:14Speaker 13: Clifford Chance Global Council, which is Peter Mandelson's current venture.
- 36:25Speaker 13: Sorry I'm getting my politicians mixed up. McKinsey Staught made
- 36:29Speaker 13: the Paul Hamlin Foundation a bunch of philanthropic and corporate
- 36:33Speaker 13: money pushing forward this agenda in the name of black people.
- 36:38Speaker 1: Ben thank you very much for that. We've got to
- 36:40Speaker 1: do a lot more to get the lid fully off
- 36:42Speaker 1: what's happening in the country. But I have stress again
- 36:45Speaker 1: very interesting that we've now got security intelligence operatives warning
- 36:51Speaker 1: about subversion in America. We've seen the same thing in
- 36:55Speaker 1: the UK. Now for our audience, if you like what
- 36:58Speaker 1: we're doing, please support us. We can only do what
- 37:01Speaker 1: we do with your financial support. You can make a
- 37:05Speaker 1: donation of course if you have a look at this
- 37:07Speaker 1: on UK column website. Take out a five pound monthly
- 37:11Speaker 1: membership fifty pounds a year, or as some people prefer
- 37:15Speaker 1: to take out a lifetime membership with us. You can
- 37:19Speaker 1: buy from the shop and you can also buy useful
- 37:23Speaker 1: healthcare products via our association with Clivee de Karl. So
- 37:28Speaker 1: that's all on the website. Do have a look at it,
- 37:31Speaker 1: and I'm just going to also say that the material
- 37:35Speaker 1: we put out is to share, and of course if
- 37:38Speaker 1: you have a look on the website as a member,
- 37:43Speaker 1: you can also be commenting and making a difference to
- 37:46Speaker 1: what we're putting out now. As I've already mentioned in
- 37:49Speaker 1: the news, tomorrow, at one o'clock, I'm putting out the
- 37:51Speaker 1: interview with Joseph B. Sweeney, the former CIA head of Litigation.
- 37:57Speaker 1: Absolutely fascinating what this man has to say about what's
- 38:00Speaker 1: been going on in the justice system in America and
- 38:04Speaker 1: relation to Boyden and Trump. So that's at one o'clock tomorrow.
- 38:08Speaker 1: Don't miss that. Well, Jane, let's bring you back and
- 38:13Speaker 1: take us into that Samoan meeting commonwealth heads of government.
- 38:17Speaker 1: What's been going on?
- 38:19Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks Brian. A lot of people might have missed
- 38:22Speaker 4: this that there was a government meeting of all of
- 38:24Speaker 4: the heads of government and commonwealth that took place last
- 38:26Speaker 4: week in Samoa. As you mentioned earlier in the news,
- 38:30Speaker 4: the focus was the title one Resilient common Future, transforming
- 38:35Speaker 4: our Commonwealth. And notice that commonwealth is two words, and
- 38:39Speaker 4: that's something we noticed throughout because they're really talking a
- 38:41Speaker 4: lot about funneling money to developing countries and away from
- 38:44Speaker 4: the West, and so on. The theme of resilience over
- 38:47Speaker 4: and over again came up. Resilient demrock institutions, resilient environment,
- 38:51Speaker 4: resilient economies, resilient societies, and so we had both King
- 38:56Speaker 4: Charles and Keir Starmer. We're there. Let's see what King
- 38:59Speaker 4: Charles said in part of his opening speech.
- 39:03Speaker 16: Over many years, it has become clear to me the
- 39:07Speaker 16: public finance, while crucial, will never be sufficient on its
- 39:11Speaker 16: own to tackle all of this, let alone achieve any
- 39:16Speaker 16: of the United Nations development goals, especially in the time
- 39:21Speaker 16: frames required. The Commonwealth therefore has an opportunity to work
- 39:27Speaker 16: together with the private sector and civil society to unlock
- 39:32Speaker 16: private sector capital for this mission and in so doing
- 39:37Speaker 16: promote trade and investment and opportunities for young people. I
- 39:43Speaker 16: was encouraged to hear yesterday from leading members of the
- 39:46Speaker 16: private sector that they recognize their ability and indeed their
- 39:50Speaker 16: responsibility to aid and invest in climate transition, in resilience
- 39:55Speaker 16: and in nature restoration. I do hope that in your
- 40:00Speaker 16: conversations you are able to answer some of the key
- 40:03Speaker 16: questions to achieve this aim, from how to address barriers
- 40:07Speaker 16: to investment, to agreeing upon routes to use public finance
- 40:12Speaker 16: to encourage private investment, and crucially, how public private civil
- 40:18Speaker 16: society partnerships can be forged so that such arrangements are
- 40:23Speaker 16: fair and transparent for all. If ladies and gentlemen the
- 40:29Speaker 16: Commonwealth can succeed with this endeavor, then it will be
- 40:33Speaker 16: an indispensable example to the rest of the world.
- 40:41Speaker 4: So I'm not sure what resilience means in King Charles's
- 40:44Speaker 4: mind or in the minds of these organizations. But if
- 40:46Speaker 4: the resilience means that we are trying to recover from
- 40:50Speaker 4: difficulty and are doing well, exactly what difficulties exactly are
- 40:53Speaker 4: we recovering from. Again, you've featured quite significantly in this
- 40:58Speaker 4: meeting last week, just as we saw on the some
- 41:00Speaker 4: of the Future and of all of the view and
- 41:02Speaker 4: high level meetings have happened a few weeks ago. So
- 41:04Speaker 4: we've had quotes here from the youth saying, you know,
- 41:07Speaker 4: they will work relentlessly to ensure young people are engaged,
- 41:11Speaker 4: especially as we strive for a resilient common future, and
- 41:14Speaker 4: also in pushing towards Agenda twenty thirty as quickly as possible.
- 41:19Speaker 4: And as I said, earlier, Keir Starmer was there, so
- 41:22Speaker 4: if we have a silent video of him, he's having
- 41:24Speaker 4: a great time, smiling, laughing, joking, enjoying the amazing food
- 41:29Speaker 4: at the meeting. The tweet that he wrote that went
- 41:32Speaker 4: along with this video was together we can be a
- 41:34Speaker 4: driving force of economic growth. So we're seeing over and
- 41:37Speaker 4: over again that he's talking about Britain pushing forward with
- 41:41Speaker 4: the economy, moving ahead with everything that's happening. But as
- 41:45Speaker 4: the press release and the press conference that came out
- 41:49Speaker 4: from the end of this conference, which Brian mentioned earlier
- 41:52Speaker 4: in the news, he struggled a bit and we'll talk
- 41:55Speaker 4: about that, but first let's see what he had to
- 41:57Speaker 4: say in his prepared remarks.
- 42:00Speaker 17: We also want to see the Commonwealth put a renewed
- 42:03Speaker 17: focus on climate change. As the first serving Prime Minister
- 42:07Speaker 17: to visit a Pacific island country, it is humbling to
- 42:12Speaker 17: see the impact of the climate crisis here and to
- 42:16Speaker 17: hear the fears of the people of Summer. It underlines
- 42:21Speaker 17: the need to act and that's why we restored UK
- 42:25Speaker 17: climate leadership, acting at home to transform our energy sector
- 42:30Speaker 17: and acting internationally providing new support to help island communities
- 42:34Speaker 17: like this action to preserve nature, save coral reefs and
- 42:39Speaker 17: cut plastic pollution, and calling for more ambition at cop
- 42:43Speaker 17: in just a few weeks time.
- 42:48Speaker 4: So he's preparedly marks focused a whole lot on, as
- 42:51Speaker 4: I said, resilience, climate climate change. Some of the questions
- 42:54Speaker 4: he had the prepared questions obviously from the mainstream press
- 42:57Speaker 4: that were there. He said, Israel has the right to
- 43:00Speaker 4: defend itself. He talked about the budget because there are
- 43:02Speaker 4: obviously questions with the autumn budget coming up next week.
- 43:05Speaker 4: He's talking about fixing the foundations, rebuilding the country that
- 43:10Speaker 4: we are under threat by authoritarian regimes such as China,
- 43:13Speaker 4: our democracy and the role of law, and the values
- 43:15Speaker 4: are what's the most important thing, and so on. But
- 43:18Speaker 4: as a result of this set of meetings from last week,
- 43:22Speaker 4: we had four documents that came out of it. One
- 43:24Speaker 4: was a leader's statement that was sixteen pages long, which
- 43:27Speaker 4: is talk to specifically again about the twenty thirty Agenda
- 43:30Speaker 4: for sustainable Development goals being pushed as quickly as possible,
- 43:34Speaker 4: climate justice, the importance of developing inclusive, sustainable and resilient
- 43:39Speaker 4: post COVID nineteen economedies. I'm not really sure what that means.
- 43:43Speaker 4: There was a document about the Commonwealth Ocean Declaration, talking
- 43:47Speaker 4: about the importance of the ocean. I guess with being
- 43:50Speaker 4: in a small nation as they were an island nation.
- 43:53Speaker 4: And then the Youth Forum Declaration, which again, as I said,
- 43:55Speaker 4: the youth was a big focus here, talking about the
- 43:58Speaker 4: need for youth engagement to achieved the sustainable development goes
- 44:01Speaker 4: as quickly as possible. And finally the last document which
- 44:05Speaker 4: is a particular interest of us as a media organization,
- 44:07Speaker 4: the Commonwealth Principles on Freedom of Expression, on the Role
- 44:10Speaker 4: of Media and the Governance, which talks about how human
- 44:14Speaker 4: rights and freedom expression come together and that particularly we
- 44:18Speaker 4: need to focus on protection for journalism and media organizations.
- 44:22Speaker 4: Charles in particular, when he saw the server of the Weekend,
- 44:25Speaker 4: was interested to say that they talked about the critical
- 44:27Speaker 4: role of accurate, reliable, accessible information, especially in times of crisis,
- 44:32Speaker 4: conflict and emergencies such as that of the pandemic. I
- 44:35Speaker 4: want to focus just a bit and we'll be doing
- 44:37Speaker 4: more reporting on this later on UK column around climate finance,
- 44:41Speaker 4: because climate finance was a particular focus at this meeting.
- 44:44Speaker 4: There was a climate breakfast that we're looking at how
- 44:47Speaker 4: they can go towards COP twenty nine, which is happening
- 44:49Speaker 4: in a few weeks for the new collective quantified goals
- 44:53Speaker 4: on climate finance, And so how do we get there
- 44:55Speaker 4: and what does that mean? Climate finance essentially means that
- 44:58Speaker 4: we're going to funnel billions and trillions of pounds, dollars
- 45:02Speaker 4: whatever into the structure to developing countries, to the organizations
- 45:07Speaker 4: that are pushing for fixing the so called climate prices
- 45:11Speaker 4: climate justice. And it's set from a floor of US
- 45:16Speaker 4: dollars one hundred billion per year prior to twenty twenty five,
- 45:21Speaker 4: which we know, of course is just going to accelerate
- 45:23Speaker 4: from there. So what are we doing to get all
- 45:25Speaker 4: this money to where they wanted to go? Taking money
- 45:28Speaker 4: from us, from public funds, from taxpayers and so on.
- 45:31Speaker 4: So there was a lot of discussion about that the meeting,
- 45:33Speaker 4: the High Level Dialogue as they called it, the High
- 45:36Speaker 4: Level Ministerial Dialogue on this goal of climate change, should
- 45:40Speaker 4: have at least two layers. This is according to the
- 45:42Speaker 4: UK representation that was at the meeting. The outer layer
- 45:45Speaker 4: would be in the trillions should reflect the needs of
- 45:48Speaker 4: developing countries. This is about international finance flowing towards developing countries,
- 45:53Speaker 4: and the inner layer should be a public court in
- 45:56Speaker 4: the billions with a different character to the outer layer,
- 45:59Speaker 4: as it would be molobialized for developing countries from a
- 46:02Speaker 4: group of contributors who would be accountable to it. So finally,
- 46:06Speaker 4: and again we'll be reporting on this a bit later
- 46:08Speaker 4: as well. Ox Fan released a report this month about
- 46:11Speaker 4: climate finance being unchecked. There is basically billions of dollars
- 46:16Speaker 4: that are not accounted for. According to the ox Fam report,
- 46:19Speaker 4: where did it go? Was missing somewhere? The World Bank
- 46:23Speaker 4: had it, but they don't really know what they've done
- 46:25Speaker 4: with it or where it is or they can't find it,
- 46:27Speaker 4: so there's questions around that. You can read the full
- 46:30Speaker 4: report from the show notes. And then finally, I just
- 46:32Speaker 4: want to direct viewers to the Climate Finance Data Portal,
- 46:35Speaker 4: which you can look at for yourself to see where
- 46:37Speaker 4: this money is going and where it's being hidden and
- 46:39Speaker 4: what they're doing with it. It's an entire sort of
- 46:41Speaker 4: interactive website that you can look at reporting yourself if
- 46:45Speaker 4: you want to see exactly what's going on yourself.
- 46:48Speaker 1: Diane, thank you very much for taking us through that.
- 46:50Speaker 1: And if we have any viewers with US Today, viewers
- 46:53Speaker 1: listeners who are thinking, well, why this concentrational matters to
- 46:57Speaker 1: do with climate change? The answer is because it is
- 47:00Speaker 1: the climate change agenda. Globally, that agenda is driving every
- 47:06Speaker 1: single layer of national politics. And I'm going to show
- 47:09Speaker 1: you a bit more of that later in the News.
- 47:11Speaker 1: Ben let's bring you back and reparations is the key subject.
- 47:18Speaker 13: Absolutely and just it's a continuation of Diane's excellent segment.
- 47:22Speaker 13: Thank you for that, Diane talking about what happened with
- 47:24Speaker 13: the Commonwealth leaders last week and climate finance, climate justice
- 47:28Speaker 13: is all being put into the context of this call
- 47:32Speaker 13: for reparations ultimately, and we saw the Commonwealth heads agree
- 47:41Speaker 13: that money needs to be paid to make up for slavery.
- 47:43Speaker 13: As a communicator, it's been issued signed by fifty six
- 47:46Speaker 13: heads of government, including Kiir Starmer, which he acknowledges, calls
- 47:49Speaker 13: for discussions on reparatory justice, that's what they call it,
- 47:54Speaker 13: and a lot of people have got behind this, as
- 47:57Speaker 13: you can imagine. The BBC are quite favorable to it.
- 48:00Speaker 13: Taught US media, who I spoke about earlier, quite favorable
- 48:03Speaker 13: to it, saying that the rich North have to start
- 48:06Speaker 13: listening seriously. To demands for reparations from Commonwealth countries. Now
- 48:11Speaker 13: Starmer has said quite explicitly that he's not going to
- 48:13Speaker 13: make cash payments, but what they could potentially be offering
- 48:17Speaker 13: I think they're laying the groundwork for this right now,
- 48:19Speaker 13: right is this idea that they're going to provide non
- 48:22Speaker 13: cash forms of reparatory justice, and that's going to involve
- 48:26Speaker 13: loads of sustainable tech, so these renewable energy systems, AI systems,
- 48:31Speaker 13: digital infrastructure, which is actually the infrastructure for the new
- 48:35Speaker 13: World order. And I've made this little meme just to
- 48:38Speaker 13: bring that to life for you so you can see reparations,
- 48:40Speaker 13: aren't we kind We're going to issue restorative justice for
- 48:45Speaker 13: the crimes of the past by giving you the apparatus
- 48:48Speaker 13: required to further enslave view and the British tax player
- 48:51Speaker 13: is going to have to foot the bill for all
- 48:52Speaker 13: of that obviously. Now this isn't just in the Commonwealth.
- 48:56Speaker 13: This is coming from the UK as well, coming from
- 48:58Speaker 13: our Parliament. And this is one of the big things
- 49:01Speaker 13: is driving this kind of black equity narrative that I've
- 49:04Speaker 13: talked about earlier on in the show. I'm going to
- 49:06Speaker 13: watch a short film here from Dawn Butler Labor MP
- 49:09Speaker 13: for forest Gate is from Parliament a couple of weeks ago.
- 49:15Speaker 4: The amount of.
- 49:15Speaker 7: Money borrowed for the Slavery Abolition Act was so large
- 49:19Speaker 7: that it wasn't paid off until twenty fifteen, which means
- 49:23Speaker 7: that living British citizens helped pay to end the slave trade.
- 49:27Speaker 7: I was absolutely shocked when I received that message, and
- 49:32Speaker 7: I thought, I don't consent to my tax payers money paying.
- 49:38Speaker 4: Slave owners. So there has been a President's.
- 49:41Speaker 7: Madam defby speaker in paying reparations for slavery. It's just
- 49:47Speaker 7: being paid to the wrong people. There's lots of things
- 49:49Speaker 7: that can be done to make sure we have reparations,
- 49:54Speaker 7: and I would say that, yes, it is complex to
- 49:58Speaker 7: calculate what is old ode, but let's not forget that
- 50:03Speaker 7: in order for slavery to continue, people put a life,
- 50:06Speaker 7: put a number on people's lives. People were sold for money.
- 50:10Speaker 7: So if it could be done, then it can be
- 50:14Speaker 7: done now.
- 50:18Speaker 13: No good deed goes unpunished, I think is the terminology right.
- 50:22Speaker 13: We paid to free the slaves, and anyone who was
- 50:24Speaker 13: working up till twenty fifteen and paid UK taxes contributed
- 50:27Speaker 13: to that. But apparently that's not acceptable now to Dawn
- 50:30Speaker 13: Butler and many other people were beginning to hear this
- 50:33Speaker 13: rear its head all over the place. So a whole
- 50:35Speaker 13: new way for payments apparently needs to be made, you know,
- 50:39Speaker 13: two hundred years down the track. And that's probably I
- 50:43Speaker 13: would imagine, going to involve taxation on British citizens. You know,
- 50:46Speaker 13: she's in the housard of Parliament. That's how these people
- 50:48Speaker 13: think and how they operate. But she mentioned the slave owners.
- 50:52Speaker 13: Why she's not going to talk to them? Who was
- 50:53Speaker 13: that money being paid to? Maybe they're the ones that
- 50:56Speaker 13: should be on the hook of it. And actually all
- 50:58Speaker 13: of this stuff is based on a really fund the
- 51:00Speaker 13: mentally flawed understanding of history. And I made a short
- 51:03Speaker 13: film which is up on my substack RISEUK door substact
- 51:08Speaker 13: dot com called Prisoners of the Japanese. We're talking about
- 51:12Speaker 13: my own grandfather's experience in the Japanese slave labor camps
- 51:16Speaker 13: during World War II, which gives some additional context to
- 51:19Speaker 13: this that I think is quite important.
- 51:22Speaker 1: Ben, Thank you very much for that. Well, let's just
- 51:26Speaker 1: get onto the subjects of defense, or maybe not, because
- 51:29Speaker 1: maybe it's climate change. We're going back a couple of
- 51:31Speaker 1: years here, but We're starting to focus on a series
- 51:34Speaker 1: of documents which coming out through the Ministry of Defense.
- 51:37Speaker 1: This one here climate Change is Sustainability Strategic Approach, So
- 51:42Speaker 1: don't worry. They are defending the country from climate change.
- 51:46Speaker 1: We can't do much else. Forward a call for action.
- 51:50Speaker 1: Why climate change is relevant to defense? From where we
- 51:53Speaker 1: are now to where we must get to defences Strategic
- 51:57Speaker 1: Ambition twenty to fifty guiding principles to meet our twenty
- 52:01Speaker 1: to fifty strategic ambition. Has just bring in a few
- 52:04Speaker 1: more here, adaptation and resilient sustainability in net zero Global leadership,
- 52:10Speaker 1: the Route to achieving our ambition and Epoch by epoch
- 52:14Speaker 1: approach Initial Action Plan. My goodness, they've been hard at work,
- 52:19Speaker 1: not defending the country while defending the country from higher temperatures. Allegedly,
- 52:25Speaker 1: this was the crass statement at the beginning of this
- 52:29Speaker 1: document by Lieutenant General Richard nug He was former lead
- 52:34Speaker 1: Defense Climate Change and Sustainability Review Officer, and his quote
- 52:42Speaker 1: was if you don't deal with it today, you will
- 52:44Speaker 1: not be able to deal with it tomorrow. We're not
- 52:47Speaker 1: sure what he's talking about at all.
- 52:50Speaker 8: There.
- 52:52Speaker 1: I'll just bring out a question mark so we make
- 52:54Speaker 1: this one clear. But the forward of this document he
- 52:58Speaker 1: shared between himself and and Equinn, who was then the
- 53:01Speaker 1: former Minister for Defense Procurement, he said, now firmly, it's
- 53:06Speaker 1: now firmly a defense problem. Climate change is a significant challenge.
- 53:11Speaker 1: With out adequate assessment of its effects, we leave ourselves exposed.
- 53:17Speaker 1: We cannot let our capabilities become less effective against vulnerabilities
- 53:23Speaker 1: we cannot see clearly. Remember that we can't really see
- 53:26Speaker 1: what's going on. We have to afford to keep up
- 53:29Speaker 1: with the pace of change. But then he went on
- 53:32Speaker 1: to say the threats of our modern world's made worse
- 53:35Speaker 1: by rising seas, extreme weather and creeping desertification will almost
- 53:42Speaker 1: certainly lead to more conflict. So we've gone from vagaries
- 53:46Speaker 1: to now almost certain when it comes to conflict. And
- 53:50Speaker 1: then he goes on to say that more conflict itself
- 53:53Speaker 1: will damage the planet. Those involved in the conflict will
- 53:56Speaker 1: not be able to focus on the climate and instead
- 53:59Speaker 1: will be more emissions whilst in conflict, therefore making it
- 54:04Speaker 1: far less likely that we can reach any of the
- 54:06Speaker 1: climate change Paris goals. Well, I'm just going to say
- 54:09Speaker 1: sheer bocracy because the same UK is put it pouring
- 54:13Speaker 1: in billions into those wars in Ukraine and Gaza. So
- 54:18Speaker 1: we are creating, according to this man, climate change. We
- 54:22Speaker 1: couldn't make this nonsense up. It's crazy. But this is
- 54:27Speaker 1: very very dangerous woke policy. The document itself is very childish.
- 54:32Speaker 1: It's full of cartoon images, very demeaning on the adult
- 54:37Speaker 1: public of uk But if we get into this document,
- 54:42Speaker 1: something really nasty is happening, and that is that matters
- 54:46Speaker 1: to do with climate change equal defense of the nation,
- 54:51Speaker 1: and if the military are involved, then national security is
- 54:55Speaker 1: at stake, and that brings in the intelligence community. And
- 55:00Speaker 1: we're beginning to see is the population drowning under state control,
- 55:05Speaker 1: all on the back of climate change, for which they
- 55:08Speaker 1: admit themselves. It's all a bit vague. So this is
- 55:11Speaker 1: a little bit more detail from the documentation. This one
- 55:15Speaker 1: made me laugh because it said that the military training
- 55:18Speaker 1: could face greater disruption through changing environments and weather conditions,
- 55:24Speaker 1: but not to worry, because we can train in a simulator.
- 55:27Speaker 1: So let's get those troops toughened up by getting them
- 55:30Speaker 1: into a warm, air conditioned simulator. Here's a bit more
- 55:34Speaker 1: of the nonsense. I can't show you all of it,
- 55:36Speaker 1: there's just too much. But let's bring in this one.
- 55:39Speaker 1: It says that defense should actively encourage cross sector collaboration
- 55:44Speaker 1: with other government departments, industry, academia, and international partners. It
- 55:49Speaker 1: should be alert to new types of collaboration that are
- 55:52Speaker 1: needed to meet the ambition. So this is defense and
- 55:56Speaker 1: security now being drilled into the population at large, all
- 56:01Speaker 1: on the excuse that this is defending us from climate change.
- 56:05Speaker 1: And I'll give you this last bit because this is
- 56:07Speaker 1: where effectively we're into the globalist I'm sure Ben would
- 56:12Speaker 1: say this is fascism, because all of this is going
- 56:16Speaker 1: to be linked from our national defense and security system
- 56:20Speaker 1: into dealing with a global system. And here you can
- 56:24Speaker 1: see them, for example, talking about the UN COP twenty
- 56:28Speaker 1: six goals. This is just one document. We're going to
- 56:32Speaker 1: be doing a lot more on this because it's clear
- 56:35Speaker 1: that climate change is going to drive every aspect of
- 56:39Speaker 1: our life if we allow it. Now, Ben, just bring
- 56:42Speaker 1: you in for the final segment. This is a tragic story,
- 56:47Speaker 1: the death of a young man. What have you got
- 56:50Speaker 1: to say?
- 56:52Speaker 13: You're right, it is a tragic story, and it is
- 56:55Speaker 13: tragic in a number of ways, and one of them
- 56:59Speaker 13: is way that the death of a young man is
- 57:01Speaker 13: being politicized and users a way to create further tensions
- 57:06Speaker 13: in society at a time when we really don't need them.
- 57:08Speaker 13: And I've spoken a lot about race today I'm going
- 57:10Speaker 13: to continue on that theme and this relates to a
- 57:13Speaker 13: young gentleman called Chris Kabba who was shot dead by
- 57:16Speaker 13: police in London on the in September twenty two and
- 57:21Speaker 13: a officer was charged with his murder and was found
- 57:25Speaker 13: not guilty last week, and that's caused a bit of
- 57:27Speaker 13: an uproar actually in the black community in London. People
- 57:31Speaker 13: are very emotional about it. There's a lot of comment
- 57:34Speaker 13: going on about it online and that's we talk about
- 57:36Speaker 13: what happened actually and look at some of the evidence
- 57:39Speaker 13: that has been released from the scene and a bit
- 57:41Speaker 13: more of a background about him, and then some of
- 57:43Speaker 13: the comments that we've seen from people in the community.
- 57:46Speaker 13: So we got this first article here from The Voice,
- 57:48Speaker 13: which is a black newspaper and now a website focused
- 57:52Speaker 13: on the community, talking about celebrities and community groups calling
- 57:55Speaker 13: for justice. Ultimately, they don't think that justice has been served,
- 57:58Speaker 13: or certainly that's what we'd be told here. The Guardian
- 58:02Speaker 13: have obviously stepped in and expressed their concern at this
- 58:06Speaker 13: shocking verdict which is stoking old frustrations in Brixton. Apparently
- 58:13Speaker 13: there is a distrust, disbelief and frustration is palpable on
- 58:17Speaker 13: the streets around Electric Avenue in Brixton, the buzzing heart
- 58:20Speaker 13: of South and the South London. There's news is thinking
- 58:22Speaker 13: in a police offer has been cleared of murdering an
- 58:25Speaker 13: unarmed black man in the borough. And we've had Diane
- 58:28Speaker 13: Abbotts god Lover also talking very publicly at a public
- 58:32Speaker 13: event in the past few days in London saying, and
- 58:36Speaker 13: we've seen this week the police officer who killed Chris
- 58:39Speaker 13: Gabba with a point blank bullet from a rifle walk
- 58:42Speaker 13: free from court. We have to fight against living in
- 58:45Speaker 13: a society where the police think they are above the law.
- 58:49Speaker 13: All right, we have to fight against that. Now, let's
- 58:52Speaker 13: actually take a look because this all sounds awful, right,
- 58:56Speaker 13: unarmed black man shot dead by police. Let's have a
- 58:58Speaker 13: little look at this report from Sky News which shows
- 59:01Speaker 13: what happened on the ground during that incident.
- 59:06Speaker 4: Continued bound.
- 59:12Speaker 18: Seconds through South London. A convoy of police cars followed
- 59:15Speaker 18: the suspects Audi Q eight. It had been linked to
- 59:19Speaker 18: a shooting the night before.
- 59:20Speaker 9: Than by strike by ban By.
- 59:23Speaker 18: When it turned into a side street, police launched a
- 59:26Speaker 18: plan to stop it and remove the driver in line
- 59:34Speaker 18: in life box in surrounded by armed police, the Audi
- 59:37Speaker 18: rammed forwards. Officers body worn cameras and dash cams caught
- 59:46Speaker 18: the speed, the noise, and the drama of what was happening.
- 59:51Speaker 18: What the suspects of Paudi drove.
- 59:54Speaker 10: Backwards, may then them we've got a.
- 59:56Speaker 18: Right go after seventeen seconds and for fire one shot,
- 1:00:10Speaker 18: the jury was shown a graphics version of the movement
- 1:00:12Speaker 18: of the firearms officers. Blake is the yellow dot. He
- 1:00:17Speaker 18: ends up in front of the suspects car from where
- 1:00:20Speaker 18: he takes the final shot.
- 1:00:28Speaker 13: So the car that he was in was connected to
- 1:00:33Speaker 13: a gun incident two days before that was in the
- 1:00:36Speaker 13: beginning of that report, and it has actually been connected
- 1:00:39Speaker 13: to three previous gun incidents in twenty twenty two. That
- 1:00:43Speaker 13: specific vehicle that he was in, and instead of getting
- 1:00:46Speaker 13: out of the car when he was asked to by
- 1:00:48Speaker 13: the police, apparently he was asked sixteen times to get
- 1:00:51Speaker 13: out of the car, he rammed the car into police
- 1:00:54Speaker 13: and tried to escape, at which point he was shot.
- 1:00:58Speaker 13: Right now that seems to me like Diane Abbott and
- 1:01:03Speaker 13: the Guardian and the Voice are deliberately misrepresenting what happened.
- 1:01:08Speaker 8: Right.
- 1:01:08Speaker 13: This is not just some innocent man walking down the
- 1:01:13Speaker 13: street who's been shot by the police. Is much much,
- 1:01:15Speaker 13: much more complicated and you really have to ask why
- 1:01:17Speaker 13: they're doing that. The other thing that came out subsequent
- 1:01:21Speaker 13: to the not guilty verdict being handed down for the
- 1:01:24Speaker 13: police officer was that cab actually had quite a significant
- 1:01:27Speaker 13: criminal history and if he hadn't been shot, he would
- 1:01:31Speaker 13: have been facing trial for himself shooting a gang rival
- 1:01:37Speaker 13: at a Hackney nightclub. And we've got a bit more
- 1:01:41Speaker 13: information about that here. This was the Oval Space in
- 1:01:44Speaker 13: Hackney again in September twenty twenty two, and the reporting
- 1:01:50Speaker 13: on this had been restricted during the trial, and it
- 1:01:53Speaker 13: can now be revealed that this took place. There's a
- 1:01:56Speaker 13: little bit of video here showing exactly what happened. We
- 1:01:59Speaker 13: haven't got a huge amount of time left on the news,
- 1:02:01Speaker 13: but you can see here that's Caba on the right
- 1:02:03Speaker 13: hand side with the blue arrow above him. He shot
- 1:02:06Speaker 13: in his gang rival. He chased him out of the club.
- 1:02:10Speaker 13: There's an altercation out on the street and the rival
- 1:02:14Speaker 13: who was shot survived the incident, decided not to press charges,
- 1:02:20Speaker 13: as is often the case in these situations, but there
- 1:02:23Speaker 13: were no process at the time about Kabba doing this.
- 1:02:27Speaker 13: So Kava being shot by the police leads to protests,
- 1:02:31Speaker 13: but Caaba shooting someone himself doesn't lead to any kind
- 1:02:35Speaker 13: of protests. And you can see here, Sorry this is
- 1:02:36Speaker 13: a little bit graphic, but that is his victim on
- 1:02:40Speaker 13: the street. They're collapsing ultimately, and this has been noted
- 1:02:44Speaker 13: in the community, right This is really crucial to understand
- 1:02:48Speaker 13: that we're told by the Guardian, we're told by Diana,
- 1:02:50Speaker 13: but we're told by the Voice that there is a
- 1:02:53Speaker 13: single community response to this, which is demanding justice for
- 1:02:57Speaker 13: this poor innocent man. But actually there's a lot of people,
- 1:03:01Speaker 13: including Roger from Hackney who I follow, who say that
- 1:03:04Speaker 13: that isn't the case. I won't read all of this
- 1:03:05Speaker 13: out because we're running over time, but you should go
- 1:03:07Speaker 13: and find this will provide a link to it. And
- 1:03:09Speaker 13: this is Roger from Hackney sharing the story of a
- 1:03:12Speaker 13: young man called Abraham Badrew who in twenty eighteen was
- 1:03:16Speaker 13: shot there outside of his home in Hackney because four
- 1:03:20Speaker 13: years prior to that, in actually you know. Sorry, eleven
- 1:03:23Speaker 13: years prior to that, at the age of fourteen, he
- 1:03:25Speaker 13: prevented a girl from being gang raped. He gave evidence
- 1:03:28Speaker 13: a trial, and the gang ultimately threatened him, hunting him
- 1:03:33Speaker 13: down and killed him. And Roger finishes his statement. You
- 1:03:37Speaker 13: can see at the bottom here is that instead of
- 1:03:39Speaker 13: there being marches for this young gentleman, there were marches
- 1:03:43Speaker 13: for a criminal. The death of a criminal is seen
- 1:03:45Speaker 13: as worse than the death of a man who received
- 1:03:47Speaker 13: a Bravery award at the age of fourteen because he
- 1:03:49Speaker 13: stopped the girl from being gang raped. Far too many
- 1:03:52Speaker 13: people are stuck on the stupid and I think that
- 1:03:54Speaker 13: includes the Guardian and Diane Abbott in this instance.
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: Ben, thank you very much for that. Yes, indeed, we
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: must finish our news today, but we say to our
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: audience troubled times in the world. It's clear there's an
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: agenda to divide people against each other. Look after your
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: fellow man, fellow woman, and at the end of the day,
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: stick up for the vulnerable. We've got a lot more
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: to report on this attack on Western society and we'll
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: be discussing this more and extra time coming up in
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: a few moments. For UK column members. Thank you all
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: for joining us wherever you are in the world. We
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: will be back for our news at one o'clock on Wednesday.
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: See you then Bye.
