[0:00]Do you think Kier Starmer has made the right calls in this war? I don't think Kier Starmer makes any calls about anything. I mean, Kier Starmer's not in charge. Well, he did make a call about this. Obviously, right, okay. Uh, no, Kier Starmer is every bit as enslaved as Donald Trump is. It is illegal. It is a crime for which you can be arrested in Britain right now, criticising Israel. If you say you're for Palestine Action, you can be arrested. A lot of people have been arrested. So in other words, it is not legal in Britain to criticise another country. And that tells you about Britain's sovereignty. It doesn't have any. Its prime minister has no sovereignty. That is not true and in terms of this war, I'm specifically asking, I'm sorry. What is not, what is not true about that? Can you not have people not been arrested in Britain for criticising Israel? They certainly have been. There's videotape of it. If I may, Palestine Action is a proscribed group. It is banned. Therefore, people have been arrested. That is, that is correct. Why is it banned? Why is it banned? I'm asking you a question specifically about Kier Starmer's decisions about the war. It's banned because the Israeli government wanted it banned. And you will know that on February the twenty-eighth, if Wait, hold on. If I may, on February the twenty-eighth, which was the day the US launched its action, the British Prime Minister told the country that he was not joining with the US because he thought it was illegal and that there was no viable plan, so clearly he made a sovereign decision which he said was in the interests of the country. And I'm asking you, do you think he made the right call there? Any government that bans criticism of a foreign government is not sovereign. The British government has banned criticism of Israel. Therefore, it's not sovereign. It's acting on behalf of another country to the detriment of its own citizens. So let's just be really clear about that. It certainly has by banning Palestine action,
[1:41]which has nothing to do with Britain at all or its critical interests at all. I often criticise Britain, but I love Britain. And as I said, I have family there, and I don't think that Britons understand just how badly they've been shafted by the United States. And I, and I am ashamed of that, and I hope that we will do everything we can to rectify it. I know that Kier Starmer understands that. He doesn't seem to care, or he doesn't have again the control to do anything about it, which is sad to see. The debasement of the country is sad for me to see. I want to see the system reformed. Once again, two days ago, the president declared I mean, him, the president before him, the president before him, the president before him. All American presidents since 1963 have done substantially what Israel wanted us to do. And now it's really hurting us. And I've been aware of this for decades, and I haven't said one word about it because it's not worth the fight. But now I see our country, its economy, its understanding of itself, in the process of being destroyed because our leaders and not just our president, our entire Congress, many of our governors did the bidding of a foreign power. And so the problem is not simply Trump. The problem is the mechanism of control that allows a country of 9 million to control a country of 350 million. What is that mechanism? I'm not sure I know the answer. We need to find out what that is. Well, as you know, as commander in chief, he could have said no to Benjamin Netanyahu. Barack Obama, other presidents have. Joe Biden, Barack Obama. You're absolutely right, and I, I made that point, and you're absolutely right, they did, and I wish our president had, but he didn't. You have been until now really a huge supporter of his. You wanted him elected obviously for a second term. Have you completely fallen out with him over this war then? Well, I've been falling out with him. I mean, I, I've known him for decades. I've always liked him, and I think anyone who spent time with him likes him. Um, I feel sorry for him as I do for all slaves. He is not free in this moment at all to do what he thinks is best for himself or his country. Of course he's free, what do you mean? No, well, he's not free, and we learned that yesterday when Donald Trump announced a ceasefire, clearly with relief, and made its terms or most of its terms public, and then that ceasefire ended within 2 hours because Israel intentionally violated the terms by attacking not just southern Lebanon, but the city of Beirut. So are you saying he's a slave to Benjamin Netanyahu? So I don't think it's as simple as he's under the control of Netanyahu. Um, but you know, you could summarize it that way and you wouldn't be totally inaccurate. And again, we know this because the single biggest mistake Trump or any American president in my lifetime has made was going to war with Iran. in an effort to change its regime. It didn't work. It was obviously a mistake immediately. He understood, Trump understood it was a mistake immediately, and he tried to get out of it this week, and announced we were getting out of it, and the Israelis prevented us from getting out of it. So that's the clearest possible example.
